"Madam, are your words implying something?"
"Mr. Gu, you're overthinking it. It's just being prepared for contingencies, and I'm merely being considerate, not forcing anyone. If you're unwilling, then just forget it." Ye Ranran looked helpless.
It seemed like she was saying, I'm just kindly making arrangements, but whether you want to go or not is up to you. If you don't go, she won't force you.
Gu Heng and Mr. Gu exchanged a glance, both of them appearing contemplative.
"Did Madam hear some rumors?" Gu Heng still wanted to probe Ye Ranran.
In fact, Gu Heng wasn't incapable, he just wasn't as cunning as Ye Ranran, with all those twists and turns in her thinking.
"Mr. Gu, you're overthinking it. As I said earlier, it's just precautionary. After all, better safe than sorry. If something happens to the old general and people say we weren't protective enough, causing social disharmony, that wouldn't be good, don't you agree?"
It's all for the sake of social stability and harmony.
