Zhu Li looked rather embarrassed, her toes curling inside her boots so tightly that the tough material stretched taut over the arches of her feet. All she could do was force a couple of polite yet awkward laughs.

That was why he had given Zhu Li unrestricted access to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
He never expected this to be the result.
