He didn't have the guts; he certainly couldn't afford to offend Gong Nanting right now. So he could only continue to smile apologetically, "Nanting, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come to greet you."

Gong Nanting went up the mountain and embraced his wife Ji Lei, tenderly supporting her waist, and said, "Why did you go out alone? Did you ignore what I said?"

Although there was some dissatisfaction in her words, her concern and worry were overflowing from the screen.

Ji Lei said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I was just too anxious, but I did my best to protect our child."

Since she became pregnant, Gong Nanting had told her not to go out alone, as he was worried about her.

Even when going out, one should make sure to bring someone to take care of her. But today she came back in a bit of a hurry and only called a driver to take her back. She was alone the whole time.

She hadn't even told Gong Nanting, and she hadn't expected him to find out so quickly.

Hearing Ji Lei's words, Gong Nanting said with a helpless look, "Is that what I'm worried about?"

Ji Lei, "?"

Gong Nanting continued, "I'm worried about the baby's safety, but I'm even more worried about your safety. Remember what your husband said, tell me immediately if anything happens. No matter how important something is, nothing is more important than you, okay?"

After listening, Ji Lei, despite being an old married couple, couldn't help but be moved.

No matter how long this man has been married, his words are still as poignant as ever.

Ji Lei nodded, touched.

The Ji family head, who was completely ignored by the two, immediately lost face, especially since there were servants present.

It's like rubbing his face on the ground over and over again.

The head of the Ji family couldn't help but cough a few times.

At this moment, Gong Nanting turned his attention back to him.

Remembering what he had just said, he said, "Father-in-law, I came here only because I was worried about Lei'er's safety, that's all."

Just as the head of the Ji family was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Gong Nanting say, "I already know about the matter between the Ji family and the Ye family. Lei'er's attitude is my attitude. I advise my father-in-law not to make things difficult for others. I don't want Lei'er to be caught in the middle."

However, the person in charge of the Ye family is my niece's husband, so naturally I must protect him, not to mention my niece is a benefactor to our family. I hope my father-in-law will think twice before acting in any situation.

Gong Nanting's combination of kindness and severity made the head of the Ji family feel increasingly uncomfortable.

But as mentioned before, the Gong family and Gong Nanting are still people he can't afford to offend.

He then said, "I understand. This whole thing was the idea of ​​my illegitimate son, Ji Wen, and has nothing to do with our Ji family."

As for the Ji family being involved, I have no idea about the inside story. If it hadn't gone viral online, I wouldn't have known about it.

I have already sent Ji Wen back overnight, and I will give you, the Ye Clan, and the world an explanation within three days.”

He had no choice but to say it this way; that's why Ji Lei came today.

Of course, if it weren't for Gong Nanting's attitude, he wouldn't have contradicted himself, but now is not the time to think about that.

The most urgent task is to demonstrate one's determination and attitude in order to avoid implicating the Ji family.

Gong Nanting nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"That's good, Father-in-law. Lei'er is quite heavy, so we won't stay any longer. I'll take Lei'er home first."
