Chapter 564: There's a power outage
The decision to dissolve the marriage contract was not a decision made by Shangguan Wanbai at will, but after careful consideration, Shangguan Wanbai has been thinking about her relationship with Jian Maoxun repeatedly in the past two days.
At the beginning, maybe she was too hasty, and she was really tired in the helpless situation of just divorcing Li Zi'an and suffering from gossip from the outside world.
So when Jian Maoxun asked to be with her again, she agreed, because she wanted to have someone to rely on.
But after the two of them have been together for so long, although they seem to be harmonious everywhere on the surface, some details make Shangguan Wanbai feel that this relationship cannot be profound.
Whether it was agreeing to be with Jian Maoxun or agreeing to be engaged to him, Shangguan Wanbai felt that he had agreed without careful consideration, which seemed like a wrong decision.
"Will you regret it?" Li Zi'an suspended the work at hand, walked behind Shangguan Wanbai and hugged her gently.
"After this incident, I feel that Mao Xun and I may not be suitable, and we don't trust each other." Shangguan Wanbai broke free from Li Zi'an's embrace, but the result was invalid.
"Don't move, let me hold it for a while, I was tired from work just now, it's better to hold you." Li Zi'an rested his chin on her shoulder and sniffed the sweet scent of her hair.
Shangguan Wanbai really didn't move, let Li Zi'an hold him, and the two of them stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the scenery in the garden outside the window.
"It was a bad decision for you to be with him, he can't bring you happiness, only I can." Li Zi'an chuckled lightly and said very confidently.
Shangguan Wanbai was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "But the person who brought me endless pain at the beginning was also you. ā
Her voice was a little sad, which made Li Zi'an feel a pain in her heart when she heard it.
Li Zi'an turned Shangguan Wanbai's body around, looked at the person in front of him intently, and he folded his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"I'm sorry, everything was bad for me before, and I don't dare to apologize how many times I don't think it's enough, but I still have a lifetime to ask for your forgiveness."
The high-ranking Li Zi'an bowed his head, he no longer had the arrogance he had before, and there was only the woman in front of him.
As long as she is willing to forgive him, what is the difficulty of spending her life to atone for her sins?
For this sincere confession, Shangguan Wanbai panicked in her heart, she gently pushed Li Zi'an away, twisted her face to the side with an uncomfortable expression, and stopped talking.
"I'm a little tired, let's go upstairs and rest first." Shangguan Wanbai finally fled.
Li Zi'an didn't chase after him, he knew that he needed to give her time to slowly digest the pain of the past.
"Boil a cup of bird's nest and send it upstairs." Li Zi'an told the servant.
"Yes, Mr. Lai!" The servant replied.
Her face has not been very good recently, because she has suffered from those rumors from the outside world, so in the past two days in the villa, Li Zi'an has thought of ways to make up for her.
The housekeepers and servants all saw it, although Li Zi'an didn't allow them to call Shangguan Wanbai Mrs. Li now, but everyone knew that Li Zi'an felt sorry for him in his heart.
Li Zi'an called Yin Xi: "Did you check the car parked in the alley that day?" ā
"Later, when I went back, the car had been driven away, but I wrote down the license plate number, and after checking it, I found that the other party was a rented car, which seemed to be to hide my identity." Yin Xi replied on the phone.
"You go check the car rental dealer, see if you can find the information of the renter, no matter what method you use, you have to let the car rental company speak." Li Zi'an arranged another task for Yin Xi.
"Yes, Mr. Li." Yin Xi replied respectfully.
At dinner in the evening, Shangguan Wanbai was still a little uncomfortable at the dinner table, and hurriedly finished eating and went back upstairs to take a bath.
It happened to be a heavy rainstorm that day, lightning and thunder, Shangguan Wanbai was taking a bath, the light in the bathroom suddenly went out, and the whole bathroom fell into darkness.
Shangguan Wanbai screamed in fright, she quickly got up from the bathtub, fumbled to put on a bath towel, and wanted to get out of the bathroom.
Her clothes were placed on the bed in her room, thinking that she would go back to her room and get dressed before asking what was going on.
But it was pitch black and the bathroom space was huge, so it was not easy to get to the door, so she waved her hand and moved a little in the direction of the door.
The floor was very wet, and Shangguan Wanbai seemed to have stepped on a piece of soap that had fallen in the dark, and then the soles of his feet slipped and fell to the ground.
"Wanbai! What happened?! There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Li Zi'an's eager voice sounded.
Just now he was working in the study, and suddenly the lights went out, and the housekeeper came to report that there was something wrong with the electric switch and it was being repaired.
He thought that Shangguan Wanbai would definitely be scared when he was alone in the room, so he hurriedly looked for him.
Walking into the room, he heard a noise from the bathroom and Shangguan Wanbai's screams, and hurriedly rushed over to ask worriedly.
"IāI accidentally fell, but it should be fine." Shangguan Wanbai struggled to get up from the ground, but there was a sharp pain in her leg, and she seemed to have hit her foot.
"What's wrong with you, I heard that your voice was wrong, or I'll go in and help you out." Li Zi'an stood at the door in a hurry.
Shangguan Wanbai thought that he had a bath towel around his body at this time, and felt shy for a while, and didn't want Li Zi'an to come in.
"Don't come in, I'm fine!" She panicked and refused.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Li Zi'an became, and he said in a deep voice: "No, you must have fallen somewhere, don't be willful, be good." ā
After speaking, Li Zi'an ignored Shangguan Wanbai's objection, and directly unscrewed the door handle and rushed into the bathroom, but fortunately the door was not locked.
Li Zi'an judged the direction based on the sound, and soon found Shangguan Wanbai, who squatted down and helped the person on the ground up and hugged him in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out." He gently patted her on the back to soothe her.
He could feel that Shangguan Wanbai only had a bath towel around her body, guessing that she had just finished taking a bath, he put his arms around her waist and helped her slowly walk two steps.
"Shhh...... Hurt! Shangguan Wanbai screamed in pain.
"What's wrong?!" Li Zi'an asked nervously.
"When I fell just now, it was like I broke my foot." Shangguan Wanbai was suddenly embarrassed.
Li Zi'an thought for a while and thought that she couldn't walk now, so she proposed: "I'll carry you out, don't move, otherwise you will be involved in the injury on your foot." ā
After speaking, Li Zi'an bent down and wanted to pick up Shangguan Wanbai, but Shangguan Wanbai thought that he only had a bath towel on him, and struggled not to let Li Zi'an hug her.
When the two were entangled, Shangguan Wanbai suddenly felt a chill on his body, and the bath towel fell to the ground.
