He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 206: Xiao Yun In a Maze-II

"I understand." Xiao Yun replied and took off from the spot to enter. Strolling inside the place, Xiao Yun slide her hand to the bushes wall to feel how sturdy it was. To her reply, she couldn't push her hand at all even with her full power. 

She continued to follow the greenery path and saw the slight red flowers popping in the green wall. Entering deeper to the path at some point she met two path and inclined her chin with a sigh, "She told me to follow the path but now I met a two diverging path. Does she really think I could divide myself into two?" Nevertheless, she clutched faintly in the maid's words that the tea party was held here. If she suspected deeply and carelessly go by her hunch without examining the place and the tea party is really held here. She would be the one missing the tea party. She goes by her hunch, turning to the path on the right to continue the deep path. Turning right or left until she arrived at a wide place with four diverging paths and sighed out loud. 

"This must be a maze."

First, it was still only two paths and yet now it divided again into four paths.

Do the socialites love to have their time in the middle of a maze?

No, the reply is a definite 'no' unless they're crazy enough to have the guests of the tea party lost before they arrive at the tea party but Wang Yan Zhi is a rational woman. She wouldn't do such a thing.

After perhaps ten minutes of walking to the path by her hunch, she arrived in the middle of the garden. A bright fountain running their streams of water sparkling in the middle of the garden and circling around the mountain was the flower that she always fond of, Hydrangeas Flowers. She brushed her eyes on the flower to have a warmth spread down to the core of her body. Every time she found herself looking at the flower, Wang Li Lei's charming face drifted to her mind, and before she knew she could feel as though his deep voice calling her name tenderly. When a breeze of strong wind brushed the leaf falling on the grass ground from where she stood at. Squinting her eyes, she noticed the large tree that had been protecting her from bold light and looked up to find the green long branch of leaf upon her head. 

The tree had a thick trunk perhaps with a thirty centimeters diameter. With a long branch abundance of young yellowish-green leaves that was able to provide shades almost to the rear of the four paths from where she came from. She hadn't noticed the tree due to how natural the tree stood behind her. But now that she saw the garden again, the fountain wasn't the attraction of the garden but rather the beautiful large trees. She stepped forward, reaching out her hand to touch the trunk of the tree and gazed up at the view to have some light shining through the small gaps made by the leaves. For some reason, the tree felt strangely familiar to her and held a sense of nostalgia.

Rubbing her chin, she shifted her gaze to her watch to see that she only have less than half an hour and made her choice to leave the place. "I have to go back now." She whispered to herself and turned her body.

"Young lady." Suddenly a voice comes out unexpectedly. She jumped from her place in a startle, thinking it was a ghost who called her up to see an old man with a walking stick. The old man looked even older than Wang Yongyi, perhaps by a few decades. Seeing how the old man has a slouched back and seeing her standing up in a difficult position, Xiao Yun folded the back of her dress to have the same eye-level of the old man.

"What can I help you with, grandpa?" her gentle tone brought a smile to the old man. 

"Are you stuck in the maze?" the grandpa asked. 

Xiao Yun paused, she had a vague hunch that the maid who led her into the maze had another hidden mission and used the plastic hair tie that she always used in her purse to mark the path she walked in. As so she isn't really stuck here, but at the moment she is. 

"Yes. Grandpa, are you also stuck in the maze?" The grandpa nodded, replying with a small laugh. "Someone leads me inside and told me how to get out but I'm getting old and my memory isn't good anymore so don't I remember how to get out now. Can you help me to exit this place, young lady?" 

"Of course." Xiao Yun stood up and reached out her hand for the grandpa, "Come with me."

Xiao Yun followed her leftover track and brought the grandpa with her to see her watch and know that her time was running low. But leaving an old man in the middle of a maze wasn't something she could do. 

Well, forget it. Xiao Yun thought to herself, freeing her thought to a hum a song between her lips and felt a tug on her sleeve.

"I'm sorry for taking your time, you can leave me here." The old man spoke and Xiao Yun turned to tilt her head. The old man spoke again, "I saw you seeing your watch, are you perhaps in a run for an appointment?" 

"That's true but don't worry grandpa." Xiao Yun replied back gently. 

"Isn't it an important appointment? Wouldn't it be bad for you if come late? You can leave me here, I'll wait for someone to come here. Or else I would feel bad for you." The old man continued and saw Xiao Yun bending down to pick up the plastic hair tie she left there before.

"It isn't your fault, grandpa!" Xiao Yun brought a cheery voice.  "I was the one who decides to do this, if I'm late it is something I have decided, you don't have to worry."
