Lovely Substitute Bride

Wen Tiantian nodded under her shocked gaze. She smiled faintly and said, "I just don't want him to keep looking at me like this."    

    

Although there was no mirror in the ward, there was nothing to show her color.    

    

But she knew that her body was rapidly deteriorating, and perhaps even aging.    

    

She was afraid that Ji Jingchen would see her ugly side.    

    

Of course, this was only one of the reasons.    

    

More importantly, she didn't want Ji Jingchen to feel sad.    

    

And she could not comfort him.    

    

Luan Zhi's eyes flickered as she roughly understood Wen Tiantian's feelings.    

    

What kind of deep love is this? Only then would I wish that I could bear everything and live well for the other half.    

    

But compared to Wen Tiantian's body, it was nothing.    

    

Furthermore, Tiantian was worried about Ji Jingchen, so wouldn't Ji Jingchen secretly come to see her?    

    

Luan Zhi didn't believe Ji Jingchen could be at ease.    

    

"Moreover …" Wen Tiantian continued, "Maybe I can get used to it for now …"    

    

"Adapt?"    

    

Luan Zhi was a little confused, but she quickly reacted and covered her mouth with her hands.    

    

"Nonsense!" Pah pah pah, crow's beak, you and your child will be safe and sound. "    

    

Wen Tiantian smiled and didn't explain anymore.    

    

Seeing that something was wrong, the butler walked over and said, "Madam, Miss Luan, Mr Min, I'll prepare some snacks for you two."    

    

Wen Tiantian nodded slightly. "Alright, let's prepare it for them. I don't need any more trouble."    

    

She had no appetite.    

    

A trace of heartache flashed through the butler's eyes. He bowed to them and walked out of the room.    

    

He had to inform Mr Ji about the news of Luan Zhi and Min Ann'ge's arrival.    

    

Luan Zhi and Min Ann'ge carried Min Xinduo over. Seeing that Wen Tiantian didn't even recognize her, the baby giggled.    

    

Luan Zhi looked at it strangely, "Duo Duo was always afraid of strangers when she was born. When she first saw my family, she cried loudly and coaxed me for a long time."    

    

"She seems to like me a lot."    

    

Wen Tiantian couldn't help but poke at Min Xinduo's soft face with a smile in her eyes.    

    

When Luan Zhi and Min Ann'ge saw Wen Tiantian's happy expression, they thought to themselves that they could bring Duo Duo more often in the future.    

    

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Luan Zhi asked Wen Tiantian, "What did the doctor say about your condition?"    

    

"Not bad." Wen Tiantian smiled and comforted her, "I will do my best."    

    

Luan Zhi, on the other hand, was not optimistic at all. Looking at Wen Tiantian's bitter and persistent appearance, it made her heart ache even more.    

    

"Tiantian, maybe you can choose to... "Give up..."    

    

Wen Tiantian's hand that was caressing her belly slightly paused.    

    

"Mm …"    

    

She nodded slightly.    

    

Seeing her actions, Luan Zhi felt a surge of joy in her heart.    

    

Had she really made up her mind?    

    

Honestly speaking, Luan Zhi did not approve of Wen Tiantian's decision to forcefully protect her child from the very beginning.    

    

However, she didn't try to dissuade Wen Tiantian because she could feel that it was difficult for her to part with her.    

    

However, now that things had come to this point, she naturally hoped that Wen Tiantian would abandon her child and protect herself.    

    

"It's good that you can think it through."    

    

Luan Zhi looked at Min Ann'ge. Min Ann'ge understood and walked over to take the child.    

    

"I'll go out first. You guys chat slowly."    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at the flowers in his arms with a look of envy in her eyes.    

    

What a lovely child.    

    

If it weren't for this, she would have a baby in a few months.    

    

Ji Jingchen and her baby.    

    

"It's a pity that I can't be childhood sweethearts with your Duo Duo." she said regretfully.    

    

Luan Zhi shook her head indifferently.    

    

"So what? My Duoduo is an older sister. She can take care of your baby in the future."    

    

Wen Tiantian laughed when she heard this.    

    

"That's right."    

    

"That's more like it." Luan Zhi smiled at her and let out a sigh of relief. If there's anything you can't get through, we'll help you. Then you … Have you set a time for the operation? "    

    

"…"    

    

This question caused Wen Tiantian's back to stiffen.    

    

All day long, she had been trying to escape. Even though she had already made her decision, she still couldn't help but harden her heart.    

    

Seeing that she didn't reply, Luan Zhi didn't pursue the matter any further.    

    

Based on her understanding of Wen Tiantian, as well as her ability to run away from home for the sake of her child, it was enough to prove how important this child was to her.    

    

For her, this decision was extremely painful.    

    

She smiled and said in a cheerful tone, "Look at me. When you are ready, you must notify me. I will be by your side."    

    

Wen Tiantian nodded slightly.    

    

"Thank you."    

    

When Luan Zhi left the ward, she saw Min Ann'ge holding the child and talking to Ji Jingchen.    

    

She looked at them with mild surprise.    

    

Min Ann'ge also saw her and quickly waved for her to come over.    

    

Seeing that she and Wen Tiantian had finished talking, Ji Jingchen stood up and nodded slightly. "I'll be going in first."    

    

Min Ann'ge nodded with a smile.    

    

"But …"    

    

Lili wanted to ask Ji Jingchen what was going on, but Min Ann'ge stopped her. "I'll explain this to you."    

    

Luan Zhi followed Min Ann'ge to Wen Tiantian's room. Looking at the pile of documents, Luan Zhi seemed to have understood something.    

    

"This is where Ji Jingchen has lived since Tiantian was hospitalized," Min Ann'ge's tone was a bit complicated, "He didn't tell Wen Tiantian about this."    

    

She didn't want the other party to see her haggard appearance, so she pushed him away, afraid that he would feel sad.    

    

One was clearly following him, yet he wasn't willing to let him know, just for the sake of making him feel better.    

    

Luan Zhi's lips quivered, but she didn't know what to say.    

    

The look in her eyes betrayed her feelings.    

    

Min Ann'ge sighed. "For Tiantian's disease, he really put in a lot of effort. Every time, he would take advantage of Wen Tiantian's sleeping time to visit her. When she wakes up, he would hide here to deal with official affairs."    

    

"So he didn't appear because he was silently protecting Tiantian from behind?"    

    

Luan Zhi looked at Min Ann'ge in a daze and slowly nodded at him.    

    

She could not help but feel a little sore in her nose.    

    

Then, she suddenly thought of what Wen Tiantian had told her. That old man, and everything about the orphanage …    

    

"Could it be that the scene of the orphanage was also arranged by Ji Jingchen?"    

    

"No, he just brought Wen Tiantian over to the Morninglight Orphanage. Only once did Tiantian meet an old man in the park who passed on what Ji Jingchen wanted to say to Wen Tiantian. "    

    

Although Min Ann'ge didn't know why Luan Zhi mentioned the orphanage, he still told her everything Ji Jingchen told him.    

    

That's right, the children of Morninglight Orphanage were all sincere towards Tiantian. They did not need Ji Jingchen's arrangements to definitely move Tiantian.    

    

Luan Zhi not only admired Ji Jingchen's shrewdness, but she also admired everything he did for Wen Tiantian.    

    

It had to be known, the one Tiantian was holding was also his child.    

    

Meanwhile, he was scheming step by step for Tiantian to take away this child.    

    

The pressure and pain in his heart was not less than Tiantian's.
