For the rest of the day, Lili was dragged out by Will, visiting a few museums and even visiting the Wife Museum.    

    

Waiting until two days later, he was prepared to leave. Before he left, he had even secretly made a trip to the Ruan Family.    

    

When the Ruan Family butler saw him, a smile appeared on his face.    

    

Then he asked, "Is Mr. Will here to see Mrs Ruan or Miss?"    

    

Will nodded, no longer smiling as he usually did with Wen Tiantian.    

    

"I'm looking for Nguyen Wu-li."    

    

The butler faintly smiled as if he had long guessed the purpose of his visit.    

    

He brought him inside Mrs Ruan's study and brought her inside.    

    

Mrs Ruan looked up and saw him. She took off her glasses and asked, "Are you going back?"    

    

Will nodded and said, "I'm sorry, but Mrs Ruan hoped that I wasn't done this time."    

    

Mrs Ruan frowned. "You don't want the castle that your ancestors left behind?"    

    

Will smiled and said, "The ancient castle my grandfather left behind was destroyed a hundred years ago. Now, the only thing left behind is Ji Jingchen's old castle."    

    

He paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked into the distance at Mrs Ruan.    

    

"I think you might have some prejudice against Ji Jingchen. From the past few days, he's been very considerate towards Miss Wen."    

    

Hearing this, Mrs Ruan frowned slightly, "You've never seen Tiantian being rescued by me in the sea. Of course you would say that."    

    

"Alright, since you are unwilling to continue, then go back. I will not make things difficult for you."    

    

Will nodded gratefully and said, "Her Majesty says that you are welcome to visit at any time. He has a lot of things he wants to tell you."    

    

Mrs Ruan nodded. "If I have time, I will go." With that, he waved his hand, and Will bowed to her as well, then turned and walked outside.    

    

In less than two minutes, the butler came in again. This time, he did not follow behind her and walked all the way to Mrs Ruan's side.    

    

He whispered, "Mrs Ruan, that mister is here."    

    

Mrs Ruan paused and raised her head. "What is he doing here at this time?"    

    

The butler shook his head. "That gentleman is waiting for you in your bedroom."    

    

Mrs Ruan frowned slightly. Previously, they had met at night and this was for the sake of avoiding suspicion.    

    

However, he did not expect that this time, he would actually directly walk to the front of the stage.    

    

"I got it." After she finished speaking, she put the pen cap back on, wiped her glasses with a napkin, stood up and walked out of the room.    

    

The second floor of the ancient residence was where the Patriarch of Ruan Family lived. Usually, there was not a single person present.    

    

The sound of high heels hitting the floor.    

    

Mrs Ruan walked over and immediately opened the bedroom door. As expected, she saw the man sitting inside.    

    

She frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"    

    

The man in the room turned his head, his strong features falling into Mrs Ruan's eyes in the bright light.    

    

The man in front of him wore beige slacks and a tan sweater. He looked very soft.    

    

He did not look like the head of one of the three great families at all.    

    

He looked about forty years old. His hair was a little too long, and the chestnut curls that hung over his forehead made his features softer.    

    

However, because it had been well maintained, it looked very young. It had deep facial features and a shallow smile on its face. It looked warm, refined and gentle.    

    

He looked at Mrs Ruan who was standing in front of him and said slowly, "I'm sorry, the people from Wen Family seem to have discovered something between the two of us."    

    

Hearing her words, it was as if she had set off a ticking time bomb that had been hidden in Mrs Ruan's heart all along.    

    

She opened her eyes slightly, abandoning her usual gentleness as she hurriedly asked: "How much do they know?    

    

The man opened his arms and held her in his arms, "I don't know much, but luckily I found out earlier. However, since you took Wen Tiantian as your adopted daughter, they found out about her as well. "    

    

When Mrs Ruan heard this, her stiff body relaxed as she gradually let out a sigh of relief. "I've already modified Tiantian's information, no problem."    

    

The man said, "That's good. Since it's something left behind by our previous generation, then don't let Tiantian worry about us anymore."    

    

Mrs Ruan nodded, lowering her head slightly as she asked, "Is it because I was suspicious of Tiantian's adoption?"    

    

The man remained silent, but it was clear that this was the reason.    

    

Mrs Ruan sighed. "I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do so."    

    

The man opened his arms and held her tightly. He looked at her and asked, "An Li, what are you afraid of?"    

    

Mrs Ruan's eyes widened, but she didn't answer.    

    

On the other side, Wen Tiantian had finished her work and had come to the castle.    

    

When the butler saw her, he welcomed her with a smile, "Miss, Mr. Ji Kang, you will be coming down soon."    

    

"Why did he come again when he didn't go to see him earlier today?"    

    

The butler smiled but didn't reply.    

    

Sure enough, Wen Tiantian, who just sat downstairs for a few minutes, saw Ji Kang come down angrily from the second floor.    

    

He noticed that Wen Tiantian, who was sitting in the living room, didn't say anything. She narrowed her eyes and didn't even say anything as she walked out.    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at him curiously. Wasn't it fine before this? But why was she throwing a tantrum this time?    

    

The housekeeper said, "Perhaps he came for the Old Master."    

    

Old Master?    

    

Wen Tiantian frowned and turned to look at him. Are you talking about Ji Jingchen's grandpa? "    

    

The butler nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Jingchen's voice came from the second floor.    

    

"You're here, why didn't you just come and find me?"    

    

Seeing him shut his mouth, the butler turned around and ran, as if he was worried that Ji Jingchen would hear what he said.    

    

Wen Tiantian became even more curious. In her memory, Ji Jingchen's grandpa and grandma never appeared. She had always thought that the two of them were already dead.    

    

But from what the housekeeper said just now, it seemed as though he was still alive.    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at him curiously. Ji Jingchen was stared at for a while before he said, "If you have anything to ask, ask directly."    

    

Wen Tiantian said bluntly, "What did Ji Kang come here for? What does it have to do with your grandparents? "    

    

He seemed to have expected this question from the start, but still smirked and said, "He wants to bring out his parents."    

    

Wen Tiantian looked at her curiously. "Where will you pick it up from?"    

    

"The madhouse." When Ji Jingchen heard this, he turned around and revealed a sinister smile.    

    

"Living is more painful than dying."    

    

Wen Tiantian was shocked by her expression. "What's going on?"
