Lovely Substitute Bride

For a moment, she didn't know how to explain. Her gaze shifted to the butler and the chef beside her.    

"I just don't want the housekeeper and the cook to suffer."    

The butler looked at Wen Tiantian with an emotional expression. He almost rushed forward to shake his hand.    

Ji Jingchen's face really darkened. He reached out his hand to cut him off and let the butler and the cook go first.    

With only the two of them left in the living room, Ji Jingchen came to a conclusion.    

"You care about me."    

Before Wen Tiantian could retort, he swiftly changed the topic.    

"What would you like for dinner? "Stay for dinner."    

Wen Tiantian's gaze was a little erratic as it darted back and forth.    

"Actually, I just wanted to come over and take a look."    

Ji Jingchencheng went along with what she said, "Now that we're done, we can have a meal together."    

He quickly seized Wen Tiantian's worry and took the opportunity to say, "In a while, we will discuss Will and the castle."    

Wen Tiantian nodded when she heard this.    

The two of them sat in the living room in silence.    

However, Ji Jingchen's gaze was always on her. Wen Tiantian coughed lightly and stood up.    

"Let me walk around the yard."    

"I'll lead the way for you." Ji Jingchen also stood up.    

Wen Tiantian panicked. She didn't want Ji Jingchen to follow her, and she didn't want to see his burning gaze. That's why she ran away.    

He quickly said, "No need, I can pass by myself."    

Unexpectedly, Ji Jingchen caught on to the flaw in her words.    

"It's your first time here, so you definitely don't know the way. Of course I'll take you out myself."    

He had deliberately grabbed onto Wen Tiantian's current disguise, so that she wouldn't be able to refuse.    

The two of them walked out of the balcony and soon arrived at the garden in front of them.    

It was already late autumn. The white roses that were planted in the garden had already withered, but the leaves had grown green and were extremely pleasing to the eye.    

Wen Tiantian walked forward for a while and saw a swing with vines.    

Most of the time, she just sat there and read.    

She couldn't help but walk over and sit on it, swaying slightly.    

At this moment, Ji Jingchen walked over and pushed her from behind, causing the swing to swing.    

"Aren't you curious why there are swings in the castle that I live in?"    

Wen Tiantian looked back at him.    

Actually, she had already thought about this question before.    

Whether it was Ji Jingchen or the people living in the castle, neither of them seemed to know how to use this childish looking thing.    

Ji Jingchen smiled faintly.    

"Actually, this castle and everything around it, even the entire empire created by the M. I. company, were all because of one person."    

Wen Tiantian looked at him with a surprised expression on her face. An indescribable nervousness welled up in her heart.    

"Who?"    

Ji Jingchen's smile gradually deepened as he looked at Wen Tiantian.    

"Someone I've waited twelve years for. I love her dearly and think of her as everything to me."    

His voice was very soft, like the sound of a river flowing.    

Wen Tiantian was slightly stunned. Ji Jingchen had been waiting for someone for a long time and she knew about this.    

"The person you were waiting for wasn't Jiang Yutian. She lied to you." Wen Tiantian couldn't help but ask.    

Ji Jingchen nodded slightly. His tone was very calm.    

"I already know, and now I've found the person I'm really waiting for."    

"Is that so …"    

Wen Tiantian was stunned, but there was bitterness in her heart.    

Ji Jingchen continued, "Before this, I never realized that I was blinded by Jiang Yutian. I didn't discover her until a few days ago. "    

Wen Tiantian lowered her eyes and looked at the grass at her feet, forcing out a smile.    

"Is that so? Then find a chance and let me see what kind of person she is. "    

The person who can make you wait twelve years, the person who can make you build an empire …    

It must be very powerful, right?    

What was the other party's name? What did he look like? How old are you?    

These questions kept spinning in Wen Tiantian's mind, and she was so curious that she was about to go crazy.    

It was as if there was a kitten hiding in her heart, constantly scratching at her, causing her to feel pain and itchiness.    

She suddenly became agitated and stood up abruptly.    

"Let's go back. It should be about time."    

However, Ji Jingchen suddenly reached out to stop her.    

"Don't you want to know who that person is?"    

Wen Tiantian's fingers suddenly trembled.    

"If we have the time, we can ask her out for a meal …"    

Ji Jingchen stared at her for a while.    

"Sure, I will."    

Wen Tiantian's heart ached when she saw his assured expression. She shook off his hand and walked inside.    

The chef's dinner was already prepared. Seeing Wen Tiantian come in, she put down the things in her hands and walked forward enthusiastically.    

"Miss Wen, I've already prepared your favorite dishes."    

"Thank you."    

Wen Tiantian walked over to have a look and sure enough, there were a lot of dishes that she liked.    

Just as she was about to make her move, a hand suddenly reached out and brought a bowl of soup in front of her.    

"Drink the soup first and nourish the stomach."    

Wen Tiantian looked up and saw Ji Jingchen Cheng sitting in front of her.    

The butler and the cook looked at them with a mocking smile.    

Ji Jingchen noticed their gazes and coughed in dissatisfaction.    

They then found an excuse and left, leaving the restaurant to them.    

There were only two people left in the restaurant.    

Wen Tiantian lowered her head and gulped down the small bowl of soup one mouthful at a time. Finally, she started to eat.    

After eating for just a short while, he noticed that Ji Jingchen was always stuffing food into her bowl.    

If he couldn't finish it all, the pile would soon form a mountain.    

"I don't need your help. I can do it myself."    

Ji Jingchen directly said: "Pick a dish.    

"I'm not picky with food."    

"I'm asking you to eat more meat. Are you a rabbit?"    

He looked at Wen Tiantian and frowned.    

He ate as little as a rabbit. No wonder he was so thin.    

Thinking of this, Ji Jingchen was even more dissatisfied.    

Since the last time Wen Tiantian had been trapped in the ancient castle, her body hadn't gotten any fatter. She was as thin as a piece of paper.    

When the wind blew, Ji Jingchen was worried that it would blow her away.    

He couldn't help but want to tie a rock at her feet in order to feel at ease.    

Wen Tiantian ate very slowly, and very quickly, a small mountain piled up in front of her.    

In the end, Wen Tiantian was unable to eat anymore.    

Ji Jingchen reluctantly stopped what he was doing and looked at Wen Tiantian's remaining belongings.    

"Be good, finish the rest."    

Wen Tiantian frowned in embarrassment.    

"But I'm full."    

Wen Tiantian was truly full.    

In the past few days, he hadn't had a single meal. He had already eaten so much today that his stomach had already started to bulge.    

However, Ji Jingchen was still unhappy. He frowned and threatened Wen Tiantian.    

"If you don't finish, don't think about leaving today."
