Your Highness, your wife doesn't want you anymore!

Li Family Manor

Nan Zhi led Da Bao and Xiao Bao out of the car, and when she looked up, she was stunned.

What lies before us is merely an ordinary manor, yet its grandeur is almost indistinguishable from that of a castle.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao timidly clung tightly to her legs, shrinking their small bodies behind her, just like Nan Zhi, standing still without daring to move.

Li Sinian pushed his suitcase forward and took her slightly cool hand in his. "Why are you staring blankly? Let's go inside."

He took Nan Zhi's hand and stepped through the gate. Two rows of servants bowed in unison, their voices in perfect unison: "Welcome Mr. Li and Mrs. Li home."

Upon hearing the address "Madam Li," Nan Zhi's heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, Li Sinian had already scooped her up in his arms and carried her straight upstairs in the elevator.

The master bedroom is nearly 100 square meters, spacious and open.

Li Sinian had already instructed people to send the seasonal clothing from major luxury brands into the dressing room.

So there's actually no need to pack anything.

He looked down at Nan Zhi, who seemed dazed, and said with a hint of trepidation, "What's wrong? Do you think the house is too small? There's a large garden behind the house, and I specially had a hanging chair installed."

"Child, are you unhappy with where you're staying?"

Now he is the head of the Li family

He knew he couldn't return to China immediately, but he was already planning to gradually relocate the Li family's core businesses back to China.

What he feared most was that Nan Zhi wouldn't be used to living here.

Nan Zhi gently shook her head, took out her phone, and typed: 【No, very satisfied.】

Show me around, will you?

Li Sinian wrapped his arms around her waist: "Okay, I'll have the maid take Da Bao and Xiao Bao to the toy room first, so the two little ones can get used to the environment."

They passed by the toy room, and sure enough, the two kids were having a blast.

Ever since he learned that he had two sons, he had ordered people to prepare them in advance.

As soon as Da Bao and Xiao Bao saw the toys, they immediately started playing with them, no longer shy at all, and seemed to adapt very quickly.

Li Sinian and Nan Zhi walked slowly downstairs, but before they could even properly explore the area, the butler rushed over to find them.

"Honey, feel free to walk around for a bit. I have something to take care of and I'll be right back."

"Call me if anything happens." Li Sinian lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and hurried away.

Nan Zhi understood that he had important matters to attend to, so she decided to go back to the master bedroom alone to rest.

But when she turned her head and looked at the long, winding corridors that all looked so similar, she was completely dumbfounded.

The huge castle was filled with similar arches and corridors, making it impossible to tell which way was which.

She could only follow her intuition and keep going, becoming more and more confused the further she went.

After wandering around aimlessly, she somehow stumbled into an outdoor garden maze.

The tall green hedges are layered and crisscrossed.

Nan Zhi turned into every fork in the road she saw, getting deeper and deeper into the maze until she was completely trapped inside.

She shouldn't have gone in out of curiosity; she's a complete klutz when it comes to directions.

I didn't have my phone with me, and the surroundings were empty; I couldn't find a soul in sight.

At that moment, she finally understood why the heroines in novels always got lost in the mansions of the wealthy.

What normal person would build a maze in their house?

When I see a fork in the road, I try to run forward, eager to get out as quickly as possible, but I keep going around in circles and end up in the same place.

After several attempts, Nan Zhi was completely discouraged and slumped to the ground, losing one of her shoes in the process.

He was seething with anger, and he was determined to give Li Sinian a good scolding when he came looking for him.

It's unclear whether this maze was designed to deter thieves or specifically to trap her.

After resting for a while, she had no choice but to accept her fate and get up to look for her lost shoes.

Before we knew it, dusk was approaching, and the setting sun was sinking low into the sky.

Nan Zhi finally found the lost shoe, and holding it in her hand, her legs were so tired that she could barely lift them.

He had already cursed Li Sinian hundreds of times in his heart!

On the other side, Li Sinian returned in a hurry after finishing his business, only to find Da Bao and Xiao Bao crying incessantly.

His face instantly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Madam?"

The Filipino maid quickly stepped forward and reported, "Mr. Li, we can't find Madam. The two young masters keep crying for their mother."

Li Sinian cursed under his breath and immediately ordered, "Send a helicopter over."

He was certain that Nan Zhi wouldn't abandon the child and leave on her own; she had most likely gotten lost in the manor.

Inside the maze, Nan Zhi was suffering from mosquito bites all over her body and sat listlessly by the hedge.

Suddenly, the roar of a helicopter came from above, and a powerful searchlight shone directly on her.

Nan Zhi looked up and saw the helicopter slowly landing. Li Sinian jumped down the suspension ladder.

真爱降临

The man quickly walked up to her and squatted down.

"You silly little thing, you can even get yourself lost in your own home."

Nan Zhi's eyes widened, filled with grievance, as she complained: "Who's the kind person who built such a huge maze in their home?!"

She reached out and pushed him.

Li Sinian reached out and took her muddy little feet in his hands, carefully wiping away the dust. He reluctantly conceded, "Alright, alright, I'll have someone tear this maze down tomorrow."

Li Sinian carried the found shoe in one hand and steadily lifted her up in his other arm, turning around and walking out of the intricate garden maze.

"Why didn't you call me and tell me you were lost?"

Nan Zhi patted her empty pockets, a hint of resentment in her eyes, and typed: 【Didn't bring my phone!】

If I had a cell phone, I would have scolded him long ago.

The key point is that there wasn't a single ghost here, and she didn't see a single person.

The Filipino maid never goes this way; if she were to encounter anyone here, she would have already left.

Li Sinian looked down at the aggrieved person in his arms, his voice full of guilt, and gently coaxed, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have left you alone."

"Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Oh no, she's angry!

I'm really angry.

Nan Zhi was still furious and secretly plotted in her mind.

I'll complain to my grandma and maternal grandma later and ask them to stand up for me.

Nan Zhi went into the bathroom to take a shower, feeling very annoyed.

The moment the bathroom door closed, Li Sinian's phone rang twice in a row.

The first phone call was made in a polite and tactful tone, subtly probing how Nan Zhi was doing at the Li family manor and whether she was getting used to the place.

As soon as the second call connected, the person on the other end launched into a tirade of accusations, beginning with a harsh reprimand.

Guess who passed first and who passed second!

Li Sinian stood there holding his phone, listening quietly to the scolding. He tried to explain himself, but the other side didn't give him much room to defend himself. He was scolded for a full five minutes.

He could only listen obediently, occasionally responding with a few words.

After hanging up the phone, Li Sinian looked helplessly in the direction of the bathroom and chuckled softly.

Well, his wife really did find him a very strong backer and helper.

As soon as Nan Zhi came out, the man grabbed her waist: "I was just scolded, and I'm in a bad mood right now."

"Wife, how can you say I deliberately left you behind? I clearly didn't mean to!" The man moved even closer to her, almost touching her...

"You silly goose, you've been stuck in the garden maze for hours and still can't find the exit!"

Nan Zhi playfully bit his neck, proving she wasn't lying!

The man grunted, his eyes darkening slightly: "Wife, you should go to the UN for negotiations. We'll be at war before you've even exchanged a few words."

Now you know how wronged he was!

"Honey, let's go try on wedding dresses in a few days."
