After several days of silence in the capital, Wei Yunting guessed their attitude.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

After calculating the days, he realized that he had been so busy spreading the news that he hadn't been to the villa for several days. He didn't ask what Jiang Tian had been doing lately, and he took his men there himself.

Wei Yunting arrived suddenly, and the maids busied themselves for a while, but Wei Yunting did not notice Jiang Tian's figure.

The head maid, Yue Rong, stepped forward and reported, "Madam is in the study."

He arrived so quickly that the maids knelt on the ground before they could even inform Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian naturally had no idea.

"Has she been staying in the study these past few days?"

Yue Rong nodded: "Yes, Madam spends most of her time in the study, except for eating and sleeping."

Wei Yunting's eyes flickered, and he asked again, "Has she seen the things I sent?"

Yue Rong paused, about to say something, but Wei Yunting immediately saw through her insincerity.

He didn't ask any more questions and went straight to the study.

When he pushed open the door, sure enough, he saw Jiang Tian engrossed in reading a book.

She didn't seem to have dressed up much; she was still wearing plain clothes, except this time she didn't even tie her hair up, just with a hairband.

Instead of looking disheveled, he exuded an indescribable air of elegance and grace.

Even after he arrived, Jiang Tian did not lift her book, which shows how focused she was.

Wei Yunting wasn't annoyed; reading was better than thinking about going out.

Wei Yunting waited until she was holding a book in her left hand and casually stretched with her right hand before taking a few steps forward.

When Jiang Tian looked up and saw him, she was quite frightened, and her face turned slightly pale.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Wei Yunting didn't mean to scare her; he simply asked, "What are you looking at? Tell me."

He glanced at the book; it was a book about medical principles.

Jiang Tian's eyes lit up at the mention of her book, and she, who is usually not very talkative, spoke more this time.

Seeing that her eyes were bright and she looked much better than before, Wei Yunting smiled and said, "It seems you've been doing well lately."

Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Before, I only thought about going to see another world, never considering that my knowledge was insufficient. Now, studying and cultivating my inner self has relieved my inner melancholy."

"Aren't you sad anymore?"

Wei Yunting said jokingly.

Jiang Tian's earlobes instantly turned bright red. She lowered her eyes and said, "Let me finish reading these books first."

Wei Yunting chuckled. He could see that this woman was adept at changing her tune depending on the situation.

However, she is good at relieving herself, which is better than getting sick from bottling it up.

"Did your father teach you to read?"

Jiang Tian nodded: "He only taught me to read, but he wouldn't let me read some books. Cui Zhiping also believed that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, so I couldn't even touch his books normally."

"I recently discovered this study and it is a treasure trove. Thank you, Your Highness."

Jiang Tian's gratitude was quite genuine.

Wei Yunting never paid much attention to these trivial matters. When he was a child, he was the kind of person who would get dizzy just looking at books. His favorite book was military strategy.

His hand casually wandered over her back, and he suddenly asked why she hadn't opened the things he had given her.

Jiang Tian: "I know Your Highness means well, but I am just a concubine, so I have to know my place. Those material things are dispensable to me."

Wei Yunting stopped: "You really dare to say that."

Jiang Tian: "I dare to say that because I am certain that Your Highness will not take offense. Just like the other day, when you detained me and wouldn't let me go out, I understood that it was because you were afraid that my life would be in danger."

"I have heard some of the news circulating outside."

Wei Yunting's eyes hardened slightly: "You don't resent me?"

She shouldn't have become the target of public criticism.

It was for his greater cause that he pushed her into the public eye.

Jiang Tian shook her head: "Why should I complain about something we've already discussed? Besides, I've found something to do, and it's nice to stay here in peace and quiet."

Wei Yunting really couldn't guess how Jiang Tian's father had raised her to be so open-minded.

This woman is insightful and clear-headed, adept at discerning subtle signs; she is quite a remarkable person.

However, there is one thing she can't seem to learn to care about him.

He didn't miss the fleeting look of resistance that crossed Jiang Tian's eyes when she saw him.

He was probably less important than her books.

Upon realizing this, Wei Yunting's smile faded slightly.

He whispered in Jiang Tian's ear, "I've been busy with official business lately and haven't come for many days. Aren't you afraid that I'll be seduced by someone else?"

Jiang Tian remained silent, but Wei Yunting, for once, understood the meaning conveyed in her eyes: so what if it's gone? She didn't care.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Yunting realized that the woman's excessive understanding was not a good thing.

However, the less she cared about him, the more he wanted to win her heart.

The time is still short, but they have a long future ahead of them.

Right now, Wei Yunting lowered his gaze; it would be better to solve his immediate problem first.

"Forget reading the book for now, how about helping me first?"

Wei Yunting held Jiang Tian's soft, white hand, recalling the past bliss, his voice slightly hoarse.
