Chapter 58 So He Wasn't That Important?

Ji Zeqiu met Wen Li a bit later; from the day he met her, she was calling herself "Ji Tingyang's little brother."

At first, he didn't think much of it.

Until later...

As a child, Ji Zeqiu was frail and frequently fell ill with fevers.

Back then, Ji Tingyang was busy wrestling back the Ji Family's assets from relatives and was overwhelmed. Ji Zeqiu didn't want to worry Ji Tingyang, so he would force himself to cope, swallowing a few pills before dozing off in bed.

Sometimes he would endure the illness by himself, but more often than not, Wen Li would be there taking care of him.

"Don't worry, I'm right here with you," Wen Li would say, holding his hand and soothing him gently.

Her voice was as light as a spring breeze, caressing his feverishly hot body, reminding him of the vague memory of his gentle mother.

A sense of warmth bubbled up in his heart.
