No one in the entire Ji family dared to step on her anymore.

After all these months, Ji Mingjing has been watching Rongrong like the apple of his eye. Who would dare to let Rongrong suffer?

The servants who used to be subservient to their employers are now working timidly and cautiously.

Fearing repercussions from the mistress of the house, they were dismissed immediately.

Ji Mingjing stayed in the study for two hours. When his phone alarm rang, he put down the documents, got up, and left the study.

As soon as I came out, I saw Rongrong sitting in a recliner under a tree.

He strode forward, only to find her asleep when he got closer.

Ji Mingjing smiled and sat down with her in a recliner, placing his hand on her slightly protruding belly and embracing the mother and daughter.

Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes, but when she saw it was him, she immediately relaxed.

"Are you all done with your work?" Rongrong asked him.

"Not yet," Ji Mingjing replied, and when he met her gaze, he added, "It's nothing important, it's okay."

Rongrong felt quite helpless.

But there was nothing they could do about it.

Rongrong smiled and said, "The sunshine is really nice today."

"Do you like it?" Ji Mingjing asked, looking at her.

Who doesn't like a clear sky? Rongrong smiled and said, "I like it very much."

Ji Mingjing chuckled softly, "If you like it, that's good. It's been sunny lately."

Rongrong sat on the recliner, gazing up at the azure sky, when she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, didn't you say you were going to the capital the day after tomorrow?"

Ji Mingjing's smile vanished.

He regretted it.

Gu Si is a dog who can't say anything nice. What if he gets jealous of him having a daughter and makes Shangguan Wu leave his wife in the capital? Wouldn't he have to stay up all night?

Rongrong watched his ever-changing expression: "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Mingjing couldn't help but voice his suspicions.

Rongrong rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

I'm so fed up with his overthinking.

"Don't tell anyone about these thoughts of yours, or I'll pretend I don't know you."

"..."

Ji Mingjing stared at her, dumbfounded, as if in disbelief.

Rongrong said, "I'm pregnant now. What if something unexpected happens? How will you explain it to others? Even if they want to keep me, they will wait until the baby is born and then keep me and the baby together."

Anyway, we're just not going to keep him.

Ji Mingjing had even less desire to go to the imperial city.

Rongrong glanced at him sideways: "I'd actually like to take my daughter and stay in the capital for a while."

Ji Mingjing said decisively, "No!"

Rongrong didn't speak, she just quietly looked at him.

Instantly, the domineering aura emanating from Ji Mingjing dissipated completely, and he explained, "What I mean is that I'll be with you, and I'll protect you and your daughter."

That's a good statement.

Rongrong didn't argue with him. Just then, the butler came over with a plate of fruit.

Ji Mingjing fed her two seedless grapes and placed the fruit plate on the table beside her.

"You keep eating, I'm going to the study. We'll have lunch in our own yard."

"good."

Rongrong had no objection.

Ji Mingjing got up and walked towards the study.

After a while, Rongrong took the fruit plate and went over.

The garden of Wuyayuan is beautiful, with a small lotus pond. A small boat floats among the lotus leaves on the pond, and the clear blue water reflects the lake, creating a magnificent scene.

There are many fish in the lotus pond, and a big carp is swimming around. Rongrong is sitting on a bench eating an apple.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps, followed by a woman's voice.

"What are you doing at Wuya Academy? What are you doing?"

It was a young woman's voice, sounding like Ji Mingjing's cousin.

Rongrong looked up and saw a young woman in a pale yellow cheongsam walking over from the other side of the corridor. When she saw Rongrong, she showed displeasure.

It really was Ding Muyun.

She said, "To see the fish."

"I won't allow you to stay here. Get out of here now."

As Ding Muyun spoke, she walked into the pavilion and reached out to snatch Rongrong's fruit plate.

Rongrong looked around. This was Wuyayuan, but she spoke as if she had arrived at the Ding family residence.

Ding Muyun frowned: "Hey! I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

"When did you return to China? Don't you usually watch the news?" Rongrong was quite curious that even though Ji Mingjing was showing off so much, there were still people who didn't know that she and he had registered their marriage.

However, her question directly angered Ding Muyun.

Ding Muyun glared at her angrily and questioned sharply, "I'm asking you a question, so just answer me! Fine, don't say anything more, just leave here right now."

Rongrong sighed. Ding Muyun was an arrogant and domineering young lady. Because of the Ji family's support, she had always been bossy to everyone, both in the Ding family and outside. Only in front of Ji Mingjing did she dare not act presumptuously.

Because only Ji Mingjing doesn't indulge her.

A typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Rongrong is pregnant and doesn't want to fight with Ding Muyun anymore. Besides, neither of them are children anymore, and there's no need to argue about things that can be explained clearly.

"It seems you don't know, but I'm married to your cousin. You can call me cousin's wife, or you can just call me by my name."

"What?"

After her initial shock, Ding Muyun looked at her sarcastically: "What nonsense are you talking about? My cousin would marry you? You should at least be realistic about your daydreams, okay? It's ridiculous!"

Rongrong got up and left: "Let's go."

Ding Muyun assumed Rongrong was scared and became even more arrogant, shouting, "Where are you going? I haven't finished speaking, you stop right there!"

"I'll take you to see our marriage certificate," Rongrong said casually as she turned around.
