"Disrespectful? In what way? Am I not kind enough to my so-called stepmother, the venomous beauty, or too harsh on my two-faced stepsister?" Bai Nuanxi's words spilled out before she could stop them. Then, as if catching herself, she chuckled, "Oh right, I forgot, you're the kind of man who listens only to pillow talk. Now you're probably thinking about how to avenge this beauty beside you, aren't you? After all, they say, 'To die under the peony flower, even as a ghost, you'll be content.'"
She brushed her forehead and yawned. "What's wrong? Are you mute or deaf? Didn't hear me, or are you at a loss for words?"
"Bai Nuanxi, am I beyond your control now? Do you think that just because you married Huo Muchen, you can act without consequences? Don't forget why he married you. He only did so because of your status as the Bai family's heiress. Aren't you afraid that I'll kick you out of the family?" Bai Chengtian's hand shook as he pointed at her, trembling with rage.
