"Mom, big brother, we are leaving." Lily waved her hand at the Shen family after she got into the car with Zane.
Mrs. Shen sighed and rubbed Lily's head fondly. "You have to take care of yourself and don't cause trouble for Zane."
Sigh. If Lily were this sensible before, they would have felt reluctant to let her get married. Now, the house felt so lonely without her, and even though Lily had yet to leave, they were already missing her.
Quist rubbed her hair endearingly. "If you need anything, call big brother. Take this. It's limitless." With this, he handed her a black card.
Lily's eyes shone with light; she snatched the card from Quist and quickly hid it in her purse as if she was afraid that if she wasn't fast enough, Zane would snatch the card from her and return it to Quist.
Zane's lips twitched. This silly money-grubber. His black card was in her hand, yet she still hoarded another person's card. What did she plan to use the money for anyway?
Lily smiled as radiantly as the sun. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, big brother. I'll be back home soon."
Just a few weeks, days, or months left for her plan to become successful. Once that happened, wouldn't she return home with her huge alimony?
Even when the driver started driving the car and left the mansion, Lily continued to wave her hand.
It wasn't until the Shen mansion had disappeared completely that Lily retracted her hand and sat still.
Lily looked out the window with a smile, her hair fluttering in the wind. The scene looked like a painting.
The car drove straight into Zane's mansion before coming to a stop.
At the mansion entrance, five guards stood on each side of the path and greeted them.
Lily's eyes shone and her lips raised. It couldn't be that Zane had already arranged the maids back into the mansion like she mentioned? This stinky man is quite fast!
"Young Master, Young Mistress." Immediately, as they alighted from the car, the guards bowed to them. The scene looked like one Lily had read in novels and watched in movies. It was pretty exciting, ah.
When they stepped in, Lily saw a group of four maids standing orderly in the living room.
The maids bowed and greeted respectfully. "Welcome, Young Master. Young Mistress."
Lily's eyes lit up. Now she wouldn't have to stress as much, and she wouldn't have to eat noodles.
But in the next second, Lily bit her lower lip in regret. How could she mess up Zane's meals from now on?
Zane and Lily nodded in greeting and immediately made their way upstairs.
However, Lily had just taken the second step when one of the maids called behind her. "Miss Lily…"
Lily already understood the question the maid wanted to ask. "Just continue working."
Anyway, Lily would soon leave. It didn't matter to Lily what they did or how they did it.
Just thinking about arranging them and creating a new list—that's truly so much hard work, which a salted fish like her can't deal with!
---
"Young Mistress, we can help you." The maids stepped forward to help Lily, but they kept failing.
Lily must've informed the boss to send them back. This must be the reason they were able to return to the mansion.
Yet Lily was the one cooking. Could this be a trap? It made them afraid.
Lily didn't even cast a glance at them and focused on her meal preparation. She waved her hand in the air nonchalantly and ordered, "You can leave to do other things. I'll do it on my own." Lily efficiently continued to cut the carrot.
The maids sighed, yet they had no choice but to do as Lily wanted. She was the mistress of the house, and if she wanted, she could fire them.
They only hoped that their joy wouldn't be cut short.
Lily arranged the meals into the lunchbox after she was done cooking.
Lily's lips curved up in a devilish smirk, and her eyes flashed with a mischievous grin. She took a look at the meal she had just cooked—steamed bok choy, boiled cabbage, blanched spinach, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, fresh cucumber slices, boiled carrots, and lotus root slices.
Hmph. Zane shouldn't think he's the only one who can be cruel. She can also be cruel too. Hmph!
Upon thinking like this, Lily picked up the lunchbox and strode out of the mansion at a fast pace. She got into the car and drove straight to the Ji Empire.
The Ji Empire was one of the biggest in the country, and the Ji family controlled nearly half of the nation's business revenue.
Ever since Zane took over the company, the company has expanded and diversified into different branches, breaking different records.
The media had even reported that Zane Ji was a calm man who never strayed from his work, and nothing could catch his attention.
Many competitors had sent various gifts, yet they all failed. Countless men and women had tried to seduce him, but every attempt ended the same way — in failure.
Only if they knew that that stinky man was actually far from calm when it came to bed issues.
What "a man above every other man" speech? Bullshit.
Lily's legs came to a pause when she saw Zane Ji and a woman in a white suit standing together.
The woman kept tucking stray strands of hair behind her ear, her chest stuck forward on purpose. She plastered a coquettish smile on her face and kept speaking in a soft voice. Anyone would guess what she was trying to do.
Lily's eyes shone, and her lips curled up. Well, isn't Lily known for being unreasonable?
Here comes her act.
"Hubby, I miss you!!!"
A loud, annoyingly high-pitched, coquettish voice suddenly sounded.
Before anyone could blink, Lily ran into Zane Ji's embrace, jumped on him, and wrapped her legs around him.
Assistant Ray, who had just stepped out of the company, cleared his throat and looked away.
All the staff who noticed Lily's actions looked at her in horror, and they couldn't help thinking about how daring she was. Everyone knew how President Ji hated being touched.
Their eyes shone with amusement. They couldn't wait to see Lily get thrown out.
Anna Wu's face turned cold, and an unhappy smile appeared on her face. She was one of the most respected socialites in the country.
She had lowered herself and her cold status to win Zane's heart. How dare Lily, this ugly and spoiled brat, come from nowhere expecting to win Zane's heart with her shameless behavior?
Lily shamelessly smacked loud kisses on Zane's cheeks, uncaring about what was going on in people's minds.
Lily threw her hands around Zane's neck and rubbed her head against his neck. "Hubby, I missed you so much. Hubby, look, I brought you lunch. Have you eaten yet?" Lily shamelessly pronounced in that coquettish, high-pitched voice that made everyone cringe.
