Chapter 4 No Need to Worry About Being Homeless

Tang Xiaowan bit her lip, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Are there no radishes?"

"There are, white ones, red ones, and even fruit radishes, all of the newest and finest varieties."

"Oh, that's quite complete then!"

"Yes, Lady Tang, very complete."

The driver still kept his head lowered, not daring to look directly.

At that moment, in the study on the fourth floor of the villa, Li Zishen stood by the window.

His gaze fixed steadily on the driver.

The young man had only been transferred to Li Garden from the delivery center yesterday afternoon, his previous job being delivering water to various departments at Yishen Mall.

He had exceptionally delicate features and fair skin.

20 years old, with only a high school diploma, not yet married or a father, with only an elderly father at home who made a living repairing bicycles.

Tang Xiaowan watched the driver with a smile, noticing his restraint and even a resemblance of fear towards her, she took the initiative to speak.

"Oh, is that so! Do you have any from Qingcheng?"

"Yes, those are specially supplied."

"That's great, can you fetch one for me?"

The young man, asked in this manner, became slightly flustered, so he stammered in reply, "Lady Tang, do you mean you want to eat the radish right now?"

"Yes, right! Can I?"

"Of course, I'll get it."

The driver hurried to the rear of the vehicle.

The door was opened, revealing rows of neatly organized storage boxes totaling over a dozen, each labeled, apparently sorting the produce into categories.

After some rummaging, the driver picked the best-looking radish, then washed it with bottled water and carefully peeled off the skin with a knife.

"Lady Tang, please give it a try." The driver, head lowered, cautiously handed over the radish.

Tang Xiaowan promptly took a big bite.

"Hm? It tastes a bit different!"

Her comment made the driver's heart leap to his throat, anxiety prompting him to quickly raise his head and look at the girl, "Different? What's different about it?"

"It's not spicy at all, very crunchy and sweet, much better than yesterday's!"

After hearing this, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Thank you for your compliment, Lady Tang."

"Come earlier tomorrow."

So beautiful, like a little fairy.

She wasn't as scary as he had described!

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

Then she walked away, munching on the radish.

She returned to the poolside to continue fishing for her little carp, but the driver still stood there, dazed.

In the study.

Li Zishen withdrew his glance, walking toward his desk with mixed feelings, and soon began furiously typing on his laptop.

A chilling aura enveloped him, and his eyes seemed to seethe with a killing intent that could erupt at any moment.

Suddenly, the typing stopped.

"Chen Xin."

As soon as he spoke, a slightly dark-skinned man with a muscular build and determined eyes stepped closer to the desk.

He was Li Zishen's right-hand man.

"Just go check..."

He hesitated mid-sentence.

Looking down, he noticed a wooden pig sculpture made of huanghuali on the desk.

Endearingly clumsy and extremely cute.

After lightly touching it, he seemed to recall something.

A glimmer flashed through his dark, glossy eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, the fierce aura had completely dissipated, replaced instead by a smile in his eyes.

Little rascal, you almost had me fooled!

"Go call Lin Ping."

Chen Xin nodded and left.

After securing the door from the outside, he quickly entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.

Several minutes later, the door to the study was pushed open.

"Get out!"

Not knocking was a major taboo at Li Garden.

The sound of typing stopped abruptly with the scolding, and Li Zishen became very angry. Just as he was about to explode, he looked up and saw Tang Xiaowan holding a red bucket.

Tang Xiaowan was startled, standing frozen in place.

Li Zishen quickly got up and walked over, "I'm sorry Wan, I didn't know it was you."

His attempt to help was ignored.

Tang Xiaowan gave him a glare and continued walking angrily, then violently placed the large bucket on the desk.

"Quite strong!"

Tang Xiaowan replied irritably, "Because I can eat, eat a lot, is that a problem?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Tang Xiaowan, whose mood changed faster than flipping a book, sat in the swivel chair and suddenly smiled sweetly at Li Zishen, "I want to drink carp soup for lunch. Can you make it for me?"

Li Zishen quickly pressed the computer's shutdown button, "Sure, no problem."

"I would like to drink it here." Tang Xiaowan tapped the desk lightly.

"Okay, I'll bring it over once it's ready."

"Wow, that's great, I'm so happy!"

Li Zishen patted Tang Xiaowan's head.

He was also very happy, happy that his Little Angel seemed to have returned somewhat, but he felt something was off, strange.

Just as they were looking into each other's eyes, there were two knocks on the door.

"Come in."

As Lin Ping entered, he immediately saw the large bucket on the desk and was stunned.

After all, that was an item worth millions.

Tang Xiaowan was sitting in the swivel chair, smiling sweetly until she saw it was Lin An, then she stopped amusing herself.

Resting her chin in her hand, blinking her big eyes.

"Brother Shen, did you call for me?"

"How's the experiment going?"

"All smooth, this has just been mixed."

Lin Ping took a few more steps forward, gently placed the medicine bottle at the edge of the desk, and said with a slight grin, "Hello Lady Tang."

Tang Xiaowan suddenly whistled and ignored him.

Being ignored felt terrible, but Lin Ping quickly adjusted his breath, showing a proud expression, "Brother Shen, this afternoon..."

"You can leave now."

"Yes."

The feeling of being ignored intensified.

After Lin Ping left, Li Zishen immediately changed his expression, looking at Tang Xiaowan with a grin, "Stop the other medicines first, and try this one."

Tang Xiaowan opened the small medicine bottle, glanced inside, then poured out a few pills and sniffed them, clearly disgusted.

"Black and messy, looks like poison."

"Chinese Medicine Pills are bitter but not harmful, why not try them?"

Tang Xiaowan ignored him and threw the pills into an antique vase beside her, then reached into the red bucket to play with the water.

The sound of water splashing filled the air as the small carps began to dart around wildly.

At that moment, she didn't know what was wrong with her, suddenly feeling chest tightness and irritability.

Her good mood instantly vanished.

She started to worry about her situation, having been confined in Li Garden for several days now, still unaware of why she had lost her memory.

If the cause was the Chinese Medicine Pills, why were all the tests normal?

In the vast Li Garden, while there were many people, everyone was tight-lipped, seemingly deliberately avoiding her. Every time she asked about things related to Mei Garden, it was all very secretive.

Tang Xiaowan suspected that Li Zishen was behind it.

The only plus was that there was no need to worry about being left destitute on the streets with good food and drink.

"Wan, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Li."

Li Zishen frowned slightly: "..."

"Since I woke up, you've been calling me Wan. Barring me from leaving Li Garden is one thing, but you also claim to be my boyfriend; where's the proof?"

Tang Xiaowan's sudden switch didn't surprise Li Zishen much. He simply walked slowly to the desk and casually opened the leftmost drawer.
