His face was expressionless, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but his voice gave the impression that he was implying, "Do I not have a phone? Do I need to ask you?"

Fearing the patriarch might misunderstand, Ji Kong, with a strong survival instinct, said, "Miss Rongrong wants to know news about you!"

Ji Mingjing didn't say anything, only uttering a single word: "Heh."

Ji Kong: "..."

He really wanted the driver to pull over; he'd rather get out of the car than face the sarcastic and unpleasant patriarch!

Just then, Ji Kong's phone rang.

Ji Mingjing looked at him with eyes as sharp as blades.

Ji Kong was holding a hot potato—no, it was her phone—in a dilemma: answering it was one thing, and not answering it was another.

Because the caller ID showed it was Ms. Rongrong.

Ji Kong was still hesitating when he suddenly heard Ji Mingjing say with a half-smile, "You certainly have a big ego."

Well!

Is it because he still doesn't answer the phone?

The next second, Ji Kong handed the phone to Ji Mingjing.

Ji Mingjing asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

Ji Kong said expressionlessly, "It's for you, please answer it."

Ji Mingjing didn't answer: "I have a cell phone."

Ji Kong was speechless, but dared not show it. He answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.

Rongrong's voice came through the phone: "Ji Kong, is he off work? When will he be back?"

Ji Kong didn't look at the patriarch and replied directly, "Miss Rongrong, the patriarch told you to call him if you need anything."

After these words were spoken, the phone went silent.

Ji Mingjing frowned suddenly. What did she mean? Did she not want to call him?

After a long pause, Rongrong's voice came through: "I've been trying to call him, but the line is always busy. He must have blocked me. But I know what he means. Goodbye."
