Lovely Substitute Bride

The butler hung up on the call from Ruan Family again and rejected Mrs Ruan's request.    

Ji Jingchen was probably the only one who would dare to reject Ruan Family so many times.    

He glanced up worriedly at the third floor.    

It had been three days since Wen Tiantian left, Ji Jingchen hadn't left the castle and he hadn't eaten anything.    

Most of the company's matters had been dealt with by him in advance, and the necessary work was done remotely in the study room. The rest of the day was spent by him in treating his illness.    

But even so, how could his body withstand it if he didn't eat for a long period of time?    

The butler thought about it and decided to go upstairs.    

He went up to the third floor and knocked on the study door.    

After a long while, Zhang finally opened the door.    

The butler looked at Dr Zhang and asked, "Where is Mister?"    

Dr Zhang pointed inside.    

"I've just finished a course of treatment, so I'm going to go home and come back tomorrow. Take good care of Mr Ji. If you have any questions, remember to let me know. "    

"Thank you, Dr Zhang."    

The butler watched him leave before walking in.    

The study room was extremely quiet, as if even the air was forbidden.    

There was only one small lamp on the table, and it was dimly lit.    

A black voice sat on the sofa, its body leaning back and its eyes closed in exhaustion.    

When the butler approached, he could see the sweat on the butler's body. Even his face had turned slightly pale.    

In the past few days, whenever he came to look for Ji Jingchen, it was always like this.    

However, no matter how many times he tried, he still felt shocked.    

No one knew about the treatment process of Dr Zhang and Mr. Ye, but just thinking about it made them able to guess a little.    

To be able to make Ji Jingchen look so miserable, the treatment process must be very painful.    

The butler stood aside for a while and was about to speak, but Ji Jingchen opened his eyes.    

"What is it?" His voice was a little hoarse, and there was a strong sense of exhaustion in his voice.    

The butler nodded.    

"There's a call from the Ruan Family. Mrs Ruan wants to talk to you. However, according to your previous request, I found an excuse. However, this is not the way to go about it. "    

According to the temper of the person from Ruan Family, they would probably come knocking on his door in a flustered manner if they waited for a while longer.    

At that time, he wouldn't be able to dodge it even if he wanted to.    

Ji Jingchen frowned and a very slight crease appeared between his eyebrows.    

"I understand, I will find time to explain everything to her."    

The butler pondered for a moment: "Sir, you haven't eaten in three days." I've asked them to prepare some food. Please eat first, otherwise, your body will collapse from exhaustion. "    

"I have no appetite. Let them take them away."    

Ji Jingchen's answer was the same as a few days ago.    

The butler looked at him worriedly. However, after Ji Jingchen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa. It was unknown if he fell asleep.    

He had no choice but to leave quietly, closing the door carefully behind him before he went to ask the cook to put away the prepared food.    

Hearing this, the kitchen lady frowned and said, "How can I wake up if this goes on? Before I could recover, my body had already collapsed. "    

The butler sighed.    

"Mister, you don't want to eat it, what can we do about it?"    

"If only Miss Wen was here. He would definitely be able to persuade Teacher to eat …"    

The cook glanced at the butler.    

They all knew that this was impossible.    

Mr. Miss Wen had just kicked Miss Wen out that day. Perhaps Wen Tiantian had already hated Ji Jingchen to the core by now, so how could she come back?    

The butler waved his hand helplessly.    

"Forget it, let's put those things away first. If mister is hungry, he should come down." If it really isn't possible, then we can only use special methods. "    

Late at night.    

Ji Jingchen woke up from his sleep once again.    

He saw Wen Tiantian ignore him in her dreams, holding hands, wrapping her arms around his waist, kissing his lips.    

His heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, as if it was on the verge of death.    

Even when she knelt down to beg him, Wen Tiantian left him behind.    

The words he had said to Wen Tiantian that day had all returned to him.    

He was so heartbroken that he almost died.    

He opened his eyes and took deep breaths.    

The corner of his eye leaked water as he looked at the ceiling in fear. His heart was still aching from the tearing pain.    

The pain was so painful that he wished he were dead. Every minute and every second was filled with pain.    

Sweat rolled down his temples, soaking the ends of his hair.    

Ji Jingchen took a deep breath, but it didn't ease the grief in his heart.    

Ever since Wen Tiantian had left, he had dreamed of her every night.    

Her voice, her eyes, her tears.    

No one knew how terrified he was when he dared to bring Wen Tiantian away.    

If Wen Tiantian was disappointed, she left.    

What if she couldn't wait eight months for him?    

What would he do if everything in the dream became real?    

The only bargaining chip in his hand was Wen Tiantian's love …    

Ji Jingchen clenched his fists tightly and didn't dare to relax.    

This was a game, a game without a way out.    

It was already too late.    

It was unknown if it was because of that dream, but Ji Jingchen actually felt hungry for the first time in the past few days.    

Within the restaurant.    

The cook was still packing the contents of the refrigerator.    

She opened the freezer and picked out the things that were out of date and needed to be reprocessed.    

Just as he took out the thing he didn't want, he raised his head and saw Ji Jingchen walk in.    

She was surprised for a moment, and then surprised: "Sir, are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat now. "    

Just as Ji Jingchen was about to speak, two cakes were placed on the table.    

The palm-sized cake, decorated with fruit and butter, looked small and cute.    

Ji Jingchen was a bit familiar.    

"Where did this come from?"    

The chef took a glance and said carefully, "This was prepared for you by Miss Wen the day before she left the castle."    

Ji Jingchen looked up and was shocked.    

He glanced at the cook, then looked down at the cake on the table.    

"Give it to me."    

When the kitchen maid heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, sir, this cake has expired. I was just about to throw it away …"    

Ji Jingchen frowned and said, "Give it to me."    

After saying that, he leaned over and took the two small cakes from the table.    

Two cakes, blue and pink, for two people.    

Ji Jingchen held his hands and looked at them carefully. Then, he opened the package on the outside.    

The cook stood aside, worried, and tried to stop him.    

"Sir, it … it has already expired."    

However, Ji Jingchen turned a deaf ear and ate all one or two cakes in one go.    

The cook gaped at him.    

Ji Jingchen put down the knife and fork in his hand. The two small cakes had already been completely eaten by him.    

"It's delicious."    

he said.    

He paused before continuing, "It's a pity that there won't be any more in the future …"
