Lovely Substitute Bride

Under Wen Tiantian's expectant gaze, Wen Hongyu slowly nodded her head.    

Think about it, if Ruan Lee is sick, and she won't live with me.    

He was truly unable to endure this sort of pain.    

Wen Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Thank you."    

As long as her father agreed, Ruan Lee wouldn't object.    

Wen Hongyu wasn't as optimistic as Wen Tiantian.    

He knew Ruan Lee. She was a very confident and independent woman.    

If it wasn't for Ji Jingchen's appearance, she would have taken care of Tiantian herself.    

Why would he go to the castle with him when he was faced with such a thing?    

"I need to discuss this with your mother."    

Wen Hongyu looked at Wen Tiantian and said hesitantly, "However, I'm worried that your mother might not agree to let you go to the ancient castle."    

Wen Tiantian froze for a moment before asking subconsciously, "Why?"    

"There are a lot of servants in the Ruan Family and there are also a lot of family doctors. "What about the castle?"    

Wen Hongyu's words made Wen Tiantian realize this as well.    

This was because the castle was her and Ji Jingchen's home, and neither she nor Ji Jingchen were people who liked to cause a ruckus.    

Therefore, there were very few servants, and the steward was only the steward and cook.    

Compared to Ruan Family of having a servant help him with a move of his fingers, it was indeed a little unreliable.    

At least in Ruan Lee's opinion, Ruan Family were more suitable for Wen Tiantian to recuperate from.    

"Then I can also hire some babysitters …"    

As soon as Wen Tiantian finished her sentence, she was rejected by Wen Hongyu.    

"New servants and servants who have worked for decades are incomparable."    

Wen Hongyu explained softly, "They don't know much about the castle, and taking care of you is definitely not as convenient as using you as these old servants. Your mother is such a shrewd person, you can see the difference in a second. "    

That's right, Ruan Lee's eyes were indeed unique. She was once the Patriarch of the Ruan Family, so she had her own opinions on how she sees people.    

In this aspect, Wen Tiantian couldn't even catch up with him.    

Even if they wanted to find some servants to make up the numbers, Ruan Lee would see through it in a second.    

"Then what should I do?"    

Wen Tiantian was at a loss.    

She wasn't sure whether or not she should return to the ancient fortress from the start. If Ruan Lee had firmly opposed it, she might listen to her mother's orders and stay in Ruan Family.    

What about Ji Jingchen?    

She was suddenly in a dilemma.    

"Don't think too much into it, ask Ruan Lee for her opinion when she comes back tonight."    

Wen Hongyu hurriedly advised, afraid that Wen Tiantian was overthinking things.    

Wen Tiantian nodded slightly.    

"Be good, I'll play the zither for you again."    

A moment later, the melodious sound of the zither rang out once more.    

At first, Wen Tiantian found it a little novel, but not long after, she became a little tired.    

He fell asleep in a daze.    

When she woke up again, the sound of the zither had stopped. It was unknown where Wen Hongyu had gone to.    

What replaced it was Ji Jingchen's handsome yet somewhat haggard face.    

"You're here?" Wen Tiantian rubbed her eyes, as if she was going to sit up.    

Ji Jingchen immediately helped her up.    

"How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up?"    

Wen Tiantian's heart ached as she looked at the man's haggard face.    

"I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."    

Ji Jingchen held Wen Tiantian's hand with both of his hands and kissed it, "What do you want to eat? I'll let the kitchen cook it."    

Wen Tiantian couldn't help but laugh. "The words you said to my dad were about the same. Everyone was asking me what I wanted to eat."    

Seeing Wen Tiantian's smile, Ji Jingchen also followed suit.    

"It's good that you eat more. Look at your hands, they're getting smaller."    

Ji Jingchen said in heartache.    

Small?    

Wen Tiantian looked at her hand and realized that it was no longer small.    

Furthermore, the hand bones were all of a fixed size. At most, they would only be a bit thinner, so how could they be small?    

"Why is the hand so small?" Wen Tiantian reminded him with a smile.    

"That's too thin."    

Ji Jingchen pinched her fingers, "You've lost so much weight, how can you raise it back? Tiantian must eat a lot of things. "    

His words were like a sigh, but also like a question to himself.    

Wen Tiantian suddenly tightened her grip on his hand.    

"Ji Jingchen, I …"    

She had wanted to tell him that she was going back to the castle.    

He brought Ruan Lee and Wen Hongyu with him.    

But on second thought, Wen Hongyu told her that Ruan Lee might not agree.    

She swallowed the words that were about to reach her mouth.    

"Mhmm, Tiantian, you have something to say to me?"    

Ji Jingchen asked warmly.    

Wen Tiantian shook her head. "I just want to ask you if you want to eat with me. I feel a little hungry right now."    

She blinked playfully.    

Ji Jingchen instantly stood up as if he received some important instruction, he was even more anxious than Wen Tiantian.    

"I'll go and bring the food over now!"    

Tiantian was willing to eat more than anything else!    

Wen Tiantian couldn't help but curl her lips as she watched him run out of the bedroom.    

She didn't tell Ji Jingchen that she wanted to go back to the castle.    

She didn't know what Ruan Lee was thinking. She was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.    

She only saw this man running out in a hurry because of the fact that she wanted to eat something.    

It made her heart palpitate, and it made her heart ache.    

Not long after, Ji Jingchen walked in with a box of food. He quickly arranged the dishes for Wen Tiantian.    

"Alright, I'll do it myself. There are some things that I don't like to eat, so don't sneak them over."    

Wen Tiantian looked at him in amusement.    

Ji Jingchen let her complain and instead earnestly advised her: "These dishes are nutritious and good for the body. If you can't eat it down, you'll eat it as medicine. "    

Did that mean she had to force him to eat it?    

Wen Tiantian frowned as she looked at the dishes that were of high nutritional value, but were difficult to eat.    

Ji Jingchen didn't care and took the initiative to taste a few mouthfuls.    

It was as if he was saying: Look, it's no big deal.    

Wen Tiantian sighed in her heart. She could only nod and put them into her mouth with a frown.    

It was really strange.    

But surprisingly there was no nausea.    

"Awesome!"    

Ji Jingchen leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. His tone was as if he was coaxing a child.    

Wen Tiantian smiled helplessly as she continued to immerse herself in the food.    

He actually ate more than usual.    

"You can't eat too much either."    

Ji Jingchen saw that he was done eating, so he put the food away.    

"I'll go with you."    

Although the doctor has said that you should take care of your rest, you also need to exercise properly.    

Naturally, Wen Tiantian would not reject.    

The Ruan Mansion had been maintained for hundreds of years. The scenery was still the same as it was a hundred years ago. Instead, it was even more beautiful.    

The front yard has a view, and the back yard has a garden.    

Ji Jingchen didn't take her to the backyard as he knew that Ruan Jiani and the others were grounded there.    

He didn't want them to affect Wen Tiantian's mood at all.    

While taking a walk, Wen Tiantian told Ji Jingchen about Wen Hongyu's proposed "teaching of pregnancy".    

Hearing that, Ji Jingchen's eyes lit up.    

"This is a good idea!" Ji Jingchen was eager to give it a try, "Can I play for you?"    

"I've been listening all morning and I'm almost asleep!"
