The superconducting critical temperature, $T_{rm c}$, of FeSe can be dramatically enhanced by intercalation of a molecular spacer layer. Here we report on a $^{77}$Se, $^7$Li and $^1$H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the powdered hyper-interlayer-expanded Li$_{x}($C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$)$_y$Fe$_{2-z}$Se$_2$ with a nearly optimal $T_{rm c}=45$~K. The absence of any shift in the $^7$Li and $^1$H NMR spectra indicates a complete decoupling of interlayer units from the conduction electrons in FeSe layers, whereas nearly temperature-independent $^7$Li and $^1$H spin-lattice relaxation rates are consistent with the non-negligible concentration of Fe impurities present in the insulating interlayer space. On the other hand, strong temperature dependence of $^{77}$Se NMR shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate, $1/^{77}T_1$, is attributed to the hole-like bands close to the Fermi energy. $1/^{77}T_1$ shows no additional anisotropy that would account for the onset of electronic nematic order down to $T_{rm c}$. Similarly, no enhancement in $1/^{77}T_1$ due to the spin fluctuations could be found in the normal state. Yet, a characteristic power-law dependence $1/^{77}T_1propto T^{4.5}$ still comply with the Cooper pairing mediated by spin fluctuations.
