"Look at that woman’s thick skin, can’t she see nobody’s paying her any attention? How can she still say such things? Truly shameless." Another voice spoke, but Qin Xue felt she hadn’t done anything wrong.

"Do you have a problem? If you do, why not say it out loud?" Qin Xue turned to look at the women behind her. She just wanted to tease her own man on a whim. Was it necessary for them to be so sour?

"Who would have a problem with a woman like you, pregnant and still flirting with men?" The girl who had first spoken snapped back.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn’t know you were such a lemon spirit, so sour it gives me a toothache." Qin Xue gestured to Chu Molin to play along.

She was feeling down at the moment, so having someone to spar with was a welcome distraction; otherwise, she’d find life too stifling.

"What’s a lemon spirit?" The girl was dumbfounded. What did she mean?

"It means you don’t like seeing me talk to a handsome guy, classic case of sour grapes. But I’m curious, I exchanged just a couple of words with him, why are you having all these thoughts? It’s got nothing to do with you, right?" Qin Xue had nothing else to do and just felt like venting.

"Who’s calling the grapes sour? You’re the one who’s pregnant and still chatting up people in the factory. Is it you who’s wrong or did I say something wrong?" The girl’s face stiffened, and she glanced at Chu Molin before responding to Qin Xue.

"Tsk, tsk, you say it’s not like that. I just said a few words to him, and you’re like this. If I were to touch him, would your eyeballs pop out?" Qin Xue played with her fingers, occasionally glancing at the young girls.

Are there such bold girls now? Seems like her understanding of this era was still lacking. It’s no different from the later generations.

She’s from the future, so she doesn’t hold back in what she does, but they’re not like that. Is this result not quite what she’d imagined?

"With someone as shameless as you, it’s not surprising you act like this. I wonder what kind of man would fancy someone like you, aren’t you afraid of having a disgraceful reputation?" The girl who had approached Chu Molin earlier felt provoked when she saw the warm look Molin gave Qin Xue.

Why did he ignore her when she approached, not even sparing her a glance, while this woman, just because she was a bit prettier, got all his attention?

It’s not the outcome she wanted to see, because no woman likes being treated that differently. Some things shouldn’t be like that for them.

Her family background isn’t bad, she always thought she was great, and getting a team leader role in the factory now made her feel like she had good prospects. Why didn’t this man pay her any attention? He didn’t dress particularly well, clearly his family wasn’t well off either.

She had put aside her pride to talk to him, yet he paid her no mind. This result infuriated her.

And to a large extent, she was also provoked by Qin Xue. This woman wasn’t just pretty, her outfit was daring—it looked good. Being pregnant didn’t make her any less appealing, and that’s why she couldn’t stand Qin Xue.

Usually, other women become less attractive during pregnancy, but this woman was the exact opposite, making her feel uneasy.

Why is it like this? It’s because her sister became particularly unattractive after getting pregnant. They’re siblings, so how good could she look after marriage? Seeing Qin Xue like this, her heart was like a jar of vinegar—full of sourness.
