Wen Tiantian, whom Elder Zhang and Elder Peng were yearning for, was sitting at the table, fiddling with the bottle of Han Dynasty wine.    

    

Ji Jingchen had already told Zhong Lee to send the two old men home, while he himself sat beside Wen Tiantian, seriously watching her work.    

    

Wen Tiantian carefully cleaned the stains with a small cleaning brush, then used distilled water to clean the wine bottle.    

    

The engravings on it were truly worn out. He needed to figure out the original pattern before he could use the carving knife to beautify and make old ones.    

    

While she was busy, Wen Tiantian met Ji Jingchen's attentive gaze from the corner of her eyes.    

    

She couldn't help but look at him strangely. "Why are you looking at me like that?"    

    

Ji Jingchen curled his lips, and truthfully said, "It's nice looking, I can't bear to look away."    

    

When Wen Tiantian's ears became hot, Ji Jingchen always used all kinds of words to praise her. At the beginning, he wasn't used to it, but now, he was much better.    

    

"But how can I work if you look at me like that?" Wen Tiantian found it hard to ignore Ji Jingchen's gaze, "Don't you have a lot of work to do?"    

    

"You want to chase me away?"    

    

Ji Jingchen's tone actually carried a hint of grievance, but his eyes were extremely calm.    

    

And he didn't want to leave her for even a moment.    

    

Wen Tiantian had no choice but to laugh and say, "No, I'm just not used to you keeping an eye on me when I repair cultural relics."    

    

"Are you not used to me staring at you, or are you not used to me staring at you while you are repairing your relics?"    

    

"…"    

    

The two didn't sound like they were fundamentally different, but she understood what Ji Jingchen meant.    

    

She thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "What if I'm not used to it?"    

    

Ji Jingchen smiled and didn't say anything.    

    

He was just afraid that if he turned around, she would disappear.    

    

Ji Jingchen had never been so worried about personal gains and losses before. He was almost crazy to the point that he had to see Wen Tiantian every second of the time.    

    

He knew that doing this would only make Wen Tiantian more nervous.    

    

But he couldn't control himself.    

    

If he didn't see her for a period of time, Ji Jingchen was worried that Wen Tiantian had fainted.    

    

He couldn't tell Wen Tiantian or anyone else about his fear.    

    

So he just looked away.    

    

However, he still sat beside Wen Tiantian, not moving an inch.    

    

Without Ji Jingchen Jing's attention, Wen Tiantian's attention became more focused.    

    

However, after recovering for a while, she couldn't help but glance at Ji Jingchen.    

    

The man was engrossed in flipping through the papers, but apart from his shallow breathing and the sound of paper flipping, there was no other sound.    

    

As a result, the feeling of his existence became extremely insignificant.    

    

Wen Tiantian was suddenly worried.    

    

"Are you angry?"    

    

She reflected on what she had said. They had been married for such a long time, and Ji Jingchen had been taking care of her for the past two months.    

    

At this time, it seemed a bit too much to be still thinking about some random things.    

    

Sensing Wen Tiantian's vexation, Ji Jingchen couldn't help but curl his lips.    

    

"I won't be angry with you. Never."    

    

He looked at Wen Tiantian and saw that she looked tired.    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned and suggested, "Do you need to rest for a while? I think you're very tired."    

    

However, Wen Tiantian had only recovered less than a quarter of an hour ago.    

    

Wen Tiantian shook her head and said, "I think I might be a little sleepy. Can you help me pour a cup of coffee?"    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned in disapproval, "No coffee, let me pour you a cup of tea."    

    

"That's fine too."    

    

Ji Jingchen glanced at Wen Tiantian before he got up and went to the kitchen.    

    

When he returned, he saw Wen Tiantian lying prone on the table.    

    

He was shocked and almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand. He hurried forward and called out softly, "Tiantian? "Tiantian!"    

    

"Ugh …" "I, I'm going to sleep for a while …"    

    

Wen Tiantian struggled to open her eyes, but to no avail.    

    

Fortunately, he had just fallen asleep.    

    

Ji Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. He picked her up and laid her on the bed.    

    

Hearing her shallow breathing, Ji Jingchen's eyes were full of seriousness.    

    

His gaze fell on the half-repaired wine bottle.    

    

The cleaned wine had a simple luster to it.    

    

However, he remembered that cultural relics needed protection if they were to be suspended halfway through the process.    

    

Exposure to air in this way can easily cause secondary damage.    

    

Looking at Wen Tiantian's serene sleeping face, his heart was filled with endless pain.    

    

Sweet...    

    

Even if she was doing her favorite restoration work for her cultural relic, she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.    

    

What could he do to keep her?    

    

"..."    

    

The situation was worse than Ji Jingchen had expected. Wen Tiantian did not wake up the next day.    

    

He rushed Wen Tiantian to the hospital.    

    

The housekeeper and the cook were waiting anxiously at the emergency room door.    

    

Ji Jingchen's face was as calm as still water, waiting for the doctor's inspection.    

    

Soon, a doctor came out.    

    

Ji Jingchen immediately asked, "How is Wen Tiantian?"    

    

"The patient's health is lower than normal. Her body is very weak. There should be a slight toxin circulating through her blood vessels and entering her organs."    

    

The doctor's tone was also grave. "We are currently treating her with detoxification, but her current condition is not very optimistic."    

    

"Not optimistic?" Ji Jingchen frowned, "What do you mean by that?"    

    

His tone was frosty, as though he could freeze a person at any time.    

    

Ji Jingchen's aura was too strong, it actually forced the doctor to take a step back.    

    

"There aren't that many poisons, so we can remove them. However, the source of the toxins is the child in Miss Wen's womb. This is the best way to cure it."    

    

As he said that, he saw Ji Jingchen's cold gaze and quickly said, "We will definitely do our best to save Miss Wen!"    

    

After he finished speaking, he saw that Ji Jingchen had slightly restrained his anger, so he left quickly.    

    

The butler stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is Madame in a very serious condition?"    

    

Ji Jingchen frowned. Although he didn't say anything, his expression told the butler the answer.    

    

The butler sat down sadly.    

    

Not long after, the door of the ward was opened. The nurse walked up to Ji Jingchen and said, "Miss Wen has woken up."    

    

After hearing the news, Ji Jingchen's solemn expression relaxed a bit.    

    

He hurried into the room.    

    

The butler and cook also wanted to go in, but were stopped by the nurse, "Although the patient is awake, he still needs some time to recuperate, so it's not appropriate for too many people to visit."    

    

The butler and cook had to give up.    

    

Wen Tiantian didn't know how she managed to get into the hospital after sleeping, but when she saw the snow-white ceiling, the bottle beside her, and the doctor, she knew that something must have happened to her.    

    

She only remembered that she was still dealing with the bottle of wine in the end …    

    

Damn it, wine bottle!    

    

She fainted. What about the bottle? If it was not sealed, it was very likely that the wine bottle would be damaged a second time due to improper preservation!    

    

Wen Tiantian was momentarily anxious. She wanted to sit up, but she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in through the door.    

    

It was Ji Jingchen.
