Lovely Substitute Bride

"No, no …"    

Ji Jingchen looked at the tears on her face, and the hand behind her slowly clenched into a fist.    

Even if he knew that the woman in front of him had lied to him.    

But when he saw the tears on her face, he couldn't help but want to help her wipe them away. He wanted to hold her in his arms.    

Ji Jingchen smiled bitterly.    

He never knew that he was actually so despicable!    

Even if he was deceived, even if his own heart was stepped on under his feet in love, he still couldn't help but approach …    

He took a step back, as if that was the only way to suppress the impulse in his heart.    

"I won't let you succeed."    

After Ji Jingchen said this, he suddenly went forward and pulled Wen Tiantian up from the floor. He rudely pulled her upstairs and threw her into the room.    

Wen Tiantian fell onto the carpet.    

A few days ago they had been in this bedroom.    

But now, Ji Jingchen no longer had love in his eyes.    

He stood against the light in the doorway. The expression on his face could not be seen, and his stature was especially tall.    

"I won't kill you. I won't let you die so easily …"    

He turned to leave.    

Just as he took a step forward, he stopped.    

"Oh right, I have to thank you for the birthday present today."    

Wen Tiantian's eyes widened.    

No!    

This wasn't a gift from her to Ji Jingchen!    

No.    

"Wen Tiantian …" She whispered, "I want to tell you, my name is Wen Tiantian."    

How many times had she heard Ji Jingchen call out the name "Jiang Nianyao"?    

She really hoped that one day, Ji Jingchen would say her name.    

Ji Jingchen stopped walking.    

"I'm not interested."    

With that, he slammed the door and turned to leave.    

The sound of the door slamming against the frame lingered in the closed room.    

Wen Tiantian sat on the ground and curled into a ball.    

She took out the gift box that she prepared for Ji Jingchen and opened it. Inside the white box, there was a delicate recording pen with a ribbon tied to it.    

Pressing the play button, Wen Tiantian's gentle voice came from inside.    

"Ji Jingchen, I like you. I want to be by your side every day from now on. If you want every birthday, I will send you my blessings. "    

"I want to be with you in the future. By then, you will be old, and I will be by your side."    

"Flowers bloom and fall. Perhaps the people around you have come and left, but I will always stay by your side."    

"I love you, Ji Jingchen. Happy Birthday. "    

There were no lights on in the room.    

Moonlight poured down from the window and the wind blew, causing the white curtains to sway slightly.    

Wen Tiantian sat on the floor and cried.    

"I'm sorry."    

"Sorry, Ji Jingchen …"    

She said it over and over.    

But no one heard him.    

The door was locked from the outside. Wen Tiantian didn't even have the chance to leave.    

She stood in front of the window. The third floor was more than ten meters wide …    

Ji Jingchen wanted to lock her up here.    

After waiting for an entire day, someone finally knocked on the bedroom door.    

Wen Tiantian turned around and ran to the door.    

"Ji Jingchen?"    

It was quiet outside for a while before the butler's voice rang out.    

"Miss, it's me."    

Wen Tiantian's heart instantly sank.    

The butler continued to speak from outside the door: "Miss, I've asked the kitchen to prepare some food. I'll send it over later."    

Wen Tiantian pursed her lips.    

She hadn't eaten for a day, but she didn't feel anything.    

"Ji Jingchen..." And? Is he there? "    

"Sir went to the company in the morning and hasn't returned yet."    

Wen Tiantian leaned over and said, "I want to meet him. Butler, can you let Ji Jingchen come over?"    

The butler standing outside the door was silent for a moment.    

"Miss, you should not deceive Mister. What he hates the most is lying."    

Wen Tiantian was stunned.    

"I know... "He said …"    

Ji Jingchen had said that he had no other requests. The only thing he needed to do was not to deceive others.    

But she lied to him.    

From the first day they met.    

The butler sighed as he heard her words.    

"Miss, do you know why Teacher doesn't like his birthday?"    

Wen Tiantian listened quietly, but her heart was slightly uneasy.    

The butler continued, "Sir's mother was killed on the day of his birthday."    

Wen Tiantian's body trembled. She almost couldn't stand straight and fell forward, leaning against the door.    

"I followed my teacher for twelve years. For the first time, I saw him smile on his birthday."    

"I don't know …"    

Wen Tiantian leaned against the door as her heart was grabbed by a hand. She was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.    

No wonder Ji Jingchen was in a bad mood today.    

No wonder the entire castle was so cautious.    

Ji Jingchen walked out of the haze of the past with great difficulty. It was not easy for him to get over it …    

Yet it had been destroyed by her own hands.    

What did she do...    

The butler sighed as he listened to the sobs coming from behind the door.    

"When he comes back, I'll tell him if he wants to see you."    

"Thank you …"    

The butler was silent for a moment, and then, as he was about to leave, he turned his head.    

"Miss, don't make Teacher sad again."    

It was late at night when Ji Jingchen's car finally stopped in front of the castle.    

The driver sat there fearfully. He didn't even dare to look at Ji Jingchen, who was sitting in the back.    

From yesterday onwards, sir seemed to have become a completely different person.    

It became colder and more cruel than before.    

Just a glance was enough to scare a person to death.    

Ji Jingchen's expression was cold. The moment he got off, the butler walked in front of him.    

He carefully observed Ji Jingchen's expression, which was covered in frost.    

Remembering Wen Tiantian's sobs through the door, the butler braced himself and stepped forward.    

"Mister, miss …"    

The moment he opened his mouth, Ji Jingchen's footsteps stopped and his body emitted a threatening cold aura.    

Butler's face turned cold: "She said she wants to see you."    

"I don't want to see her."    

With that, Ji Jingchen quickly walked in.    

The butler stood on the spot, frowning.    

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he really couldn't.    

Wen Tiantian had been standing by the window, watching Ji Jingchen's car come back, waiting for it to come to her.    

But she waited an hour, two hours...    

But nothing happened.    

"Don't you even want to see me?"    

Wen Tiantian laughed bitterly and sat down.    

The night was getting darker.    

Ji Jingchen sat in the study room. He didn't even dare to rest.    

That was because the moment she closed her eyes, Wen Tiantian's appearance would appear before her.    

The scene of the two of them getting along became one of great irony.    

Even this study …    

Ji Jingchen raised his head, looked around and then landed on the small table beside him.    

How many times had Wen Tiantian sat there when he was working, and when she looked up, she could see him.    

This scene involuntarily appeared in his mind.
