Lovely Substitute Bride

Ji Jingchen's strength was not actually that big. He had just woken up, and just this alone, it had consumed almost all of his strength.    

    

Wen Tiantian shook his hand and turned back to face him.    

    

When she saw Ji Jingchen open his eyes, she actually wanted to cry again.    

    

"Luckily you woke up …"    

    

Ji Jingchen looked at him tiredly.    

    

He looked exhausted, as if his stomach had experienced a journey that no one could have imagined in the past few days.    

    

He forced his eyes open and his lips moved.    

    

Wen Tiantian quickly said, "I'm fine. Don't say anything else. Rest well."    

    

"When you wake up, we have a lot of time to chat, Brother Jing."    

    

Hearing this form of address, Ji Jingchen slightly raised the corner of his mouth into a smile. The smile went straight to his eyes, giving him a lot of spirit.    

    

Wen Tiantian leaned forward and kissed him lightly on his forehead.    

    

"Rest, I will always stay by your side."    

    

However, Ji Jingchen didn't fall asleep. Instead, he stared at Wen Tiantian until he was completely exhausted.    

    

After he fell asleep, Wen Tiantian told the doctor about Ji Jingchen's situation.    

    

On the same day, Ji Jingchen was moved out of the intensive care unit.    

    

Under Wen Tiantian's care, Ji Jingchen's body quickly recovered.    

    

At first, he could only watch as Wen Tiantian talked, but later, he was able to communicate with her at a rapid pace.    

    

Wen Tiantian spent most of the day by Ji Jingchen's side, telling him everything that had happened in the past few days.    

    

After resting for half a month, Ji Jingchen was finally able to get off the bed and walk.    

    

As soon as Wen Tiantian came out, she saw Ji Jingchen standing at the window with a cell phone in his hand.    

    

She quickly asked, "Why are you up again?"    

    

Ji Jingchen looked back and obediently hung up.    

    

"I'm fine. I don't need to stay in bed."    

    

Wen Tiantian still walked over.    

    

"The doctor said that you can't get out of bed for more than twenty minutes a day. You have to continue resting in the bed, otherwise it might affect the healing process."    

    

Ji Jingchen felt that he was fine, but after seeing Wen Tiantian so worried, he followed her movements and returned to the bed.    

    

He lay on his bed, listening to Wen Tiantian's repeated warnings about what he wanted to pay attention to, but he didn't feel the slightest bit noisy.    

    

During those few days when he was unconscious, he had listened to the sounds of his dreams and worked hard before finally waking up.    

    

When she finished, Ji Jingchen finally said, "I haven't been listening to you. You called me Brother Jing."    

    

Wen Tiantian looked into his eyes, and was slightly dissatisfied when she mentioned this.    

    

"When did you know?"    

    

"Ever since you fell into the sea."    

    

Wen Tiantian widened her eyes.    

    

"So long! "Why did you never tell me?"    

    

Ji Jingchen saw that she was angry, so he took her hand and kissed her.    

    

"Originally, I had planned to tell you after settling all of the matters so that you would have nothing to worry about."    

    

"But then something happened, and I had to hide it."    

    

Wen Tiantian recalled the scene from before, and her eyes turned sour again.    

    

"Are you driving me away because you're worried I'll get hurt?"    

    

"Yes." Ji Jingchen held her hand tightly. I'm scared. "    

    

"I'm afraid that you will leave, but I'm more afraid that you will be injured because of me."    

    

He spoke carefully, spreading out all the thoughts he had hidden in his heart.    

    

Wen Tiantian opened her arms.    

    

"Brother Jing …"    

    

Ji Jingchen was about to welcome her, but before Wen Tiantian could get into his arms, she suddenly stopped and even took a step back.    

    

"No, I can't press on your wound."    

    

Ji Jingchen stopped and felt a wave of helplessness.    

    

It was clearly in front of him, yet he couldn't even touch it.    

    

The more Ji Jingchen thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He pulled her a little bit.    

    

Wen Tiantian's body tilted and she fell down, almost crashing into Ji Jingchen.    

    

She quickly supported herself on the bed and was about to avoid the bed when Ji Jingchen pulled her again and Wen Tiantian fell into his arms.    

    

Next, before Wen Tiantian could even react, she had already turned over, holding her in her arms and letting her lie on the other side of the bed.    

    

"Come rest with me first. How long has it been since you slept properly?"    

    

He reached out his hand and caressed Wen Tiantian's haggard face.    

    

His wrist was still wrapped in gauze.    

    

In order to break free from the chains, his wrists had been grinded to the point that they were bleeding profusely. Even the phalanges of his thumbs had been broken.    

    

Wen Tiantian put his hand down again and shook her head.    

    

"I'm not sleepy."    

    

Ji Jingchen held her hand tightly with his fingers interlocked.    

    

Wen Tiantian whispered, "Brother Jing, don't chase me away in the future."    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned.    

    

"If I hurt you again …"    

    

"I won't."    

    

Wen Tiantian interrupted him.    

    

"I'm sure you won't hurt me. My Brother Jing, when I was injured, you felt even more heartache than me. "    

    

Ji Jingchen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. He then leaned forward to kiss the corner of her mouth.    

    

"You are the most important treasure in my life, a treasure that I have spent all my life for."    

    

Ji Jingchen moved a little and opened his hand, revealing what he held in his hand.    

    

"Now, can I help you with it? This is something that belongs to you. "    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at the palm of his hand, where a silver necklace was lying.    

    

There was a heart-shaped hollow pendant hanging on the necklace.    

    

It was the one Ji Jingchen had given to her earlier.    

    

Ji Jingchen said, "The treasure that I have been collecting is here. Do you want to take a look?"    

    

"You actually kept it on you …"    

    

Wen Tiantian took it and pressed the buckle on the pendant. The small lid was instantly opened.    

    

A picture of himself and Ji Jingchen appeared in front of him.    

    

Wen Tiantian's eyes suddenly turned sour.    

    

"Brother Jing, can you help me put it on?"    

    

Ji Jingchen took it, put his arm around Wen Tiantian's shoulder and buckled the necklace around her neck.    

    

The heart-shaped pendant clung to his chest.    

    

When the butler and cook came in with the food, Wen Tiantian had already fallen asleep in Ji Jingchen's arms.    

    

When the door opened, Ji Jingchen saw that it was them. He raised his hand to his lips and made a "don't talk" gesture towards the two of them.    

    

The butler looked at Wen Tiantian, who was sleeping soundly, and smiled happily. Together with the cook, he placed the prepared soup on the table.    

    

Just as the two of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard loud voices coming from outside the ward.    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned in dissatisfaction. He covered Wen Tiantian's ears with his hands to let her continue resting, while taking a glance outside.    

    

The butler hurried out. The moment he opened the door, a few people rushed in.    

    

It was actually Xu Cuiqin, Ji Kang, and Ji Yiyan.    

    

Xu Cuiqin's face didn't look too good. She was swearing and seemed to have gotten into an argument with the bodyguard outside the door.    

    

As soon as they saw the door open a crack, they immediately pushed it open, pushing all the stewards inside aside and walking in.    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned when he saw the three people in front of him.    

    

Even Wen Tiantian, who had been sleeping, woke up and opened her eyes.    

    

Ji Jingchen was dissatisfied with her awakening. He said coldly, "Butler, throw them out!"
