Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1054: Out of Breath?

Tang Li straightened up upon feeling her cheek being caressed.

Just before she could plant a kiss, Song Baiyan interrupted, "Didn’t get enough kisses last night?"

Embarrassed, Tang Li hesitated.

"Last night was last night." Recalling last night, Tang Li felt her ears heat up. "Besides, we were busy with other things, so even the kisses weren’t serious."

She still felt she owed him one kiss.

Tang Li pounced on Song Baiyan like a wolf, grabbing the collar of his shirt, but couldn’t move forward because the ’corgi butt’ cushion was in the way.

Just as she was about to discard the cushion, Song Baiyan leaned in and pressed his lips against her forehead.

Tang Li froze for a moment, facing his prominent Adam’s apple.

Song Baiyan then sighed softly, "In broad daylight, a girl should be mindful."

Tang Li murmured, "Already a husband, yet still so shy?"

Song Baiyan: "..."

Tang Li was about to seal the kiss herself when she heard the patter of children’s shoes from the entrance of the living room.

Song Jingtian appeared in her view.

It was too late for Tang Li to release Song Baiyan. The little guy was holding an ice cream in one hand and another wrapped in its paper in the other. Seeing Tang Li sprawled over his big brother, he furrowed his brows immediately, "I knew why big brother didn’t come up to eat!"

Song Baiyan patted Tang Li’s side waist, signaling her to get up.

Tang Li unusually didn’t act.

Sitting for too long, her legs inevitably felt numb.

"You guys go to the dining room first, I’ll sit here a little longer," she said.

Aunt Min also came to call them, leaving Song Baiyan with no choice but to leave the living room.

Before leaving, he adjusted his belt, revealing his muscular forearms as he rolled up his shirt sleeves, looking down at Tang Li with a gentle yet indistinct smile, "If your legs are numb and you keep sitting, aren’t you worried about poor circulation?"

"Just let me be a cripple then!"

If he won’t kiss her, why care if she’s crippled or not.

"Let’s just go eat!" Song Jingtian urged.

When Song Baiyan left, the little guy trailed after like a little tail.

However, before leaving, Song Jingtian unwrapped the other ice cream right in front of Tang Li, took a bite, and declared, "This one’s not for you!"

"Whoever wants it is a dog," Tang Li retorted without backing down.

Song Jingtian: "!!!"

A minute later, Tang Li received a WeChat message from the "serious young man," showing a meme of a yellow duck brandishing a dagger next to an elephant.

With three words: "Shark you!"

At the dining room, Song Jingtian just set his tablet on the table when a message popped up.

[Tang Li]: "[Image]"

[Tang Li]: "You’re welcome, take it."

It was a photo of him picking his nose on the school playground and Tang Li had doodled on it.

The photo showed him with a pink pig nose, sausage lips, ears like copper gongs, most offensively — Tang Li had drawn two crooked horn braids on him!

Song Jingtian lifted his tablet, about to complain to his big brother.

Just as he opened his mouth, his big brother preempted him, "Arguing with your elder sister-in-law again?"

"..." The little guy pouted, "She’s bullying me!"

Song Baiyan set aside his wet tissue after wiping his hands, "At your age, still messing around with your elder sister-in-law."

Song Jingtian: "???"

Xiao Minglan emerged from the tea room, coincidentally hearing that line, and chimed in, "Indeed, in such hot weather, making your elder sister-in-law go jujube picking, if you really want jujubes, ask the housekeeping staff to purchase some."

Song Jingtian: "........"

"Our Second Master gets along well with his sister-in-law." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Aunt Min placed a small bowl of soup near Song Jingtian, smiling as she spoke, "Just earlier, he picked a lot of jujubes and gave them all to his sister-in-law."

Xiao Minglan sat down, "One troublemaker is enough, don’t lead another astray."

"Come, Second Master, try a bite of the freshly made coconut milk crisp."

Aunt Min offered him a piece.

Song Jingtian was forced to open his mouth, filling it with bitterness.

Tang Li stepped into the dining room just as the last dish was served.

After the meal and a brief afternoon rest, Tang Li finally left Tan Palace.

This time, she successfully managed to sneak a kiss.

In the hallway on the ground floor, Tang Li turned around, stood on tiptoe, placed her hands on Song Baiyan’s shoulders, and kissed him.

As she kissed him, she slowly opened a slit in her eyes.

It wasn’t their first kiss.

Yet each time still made her heart race.

Song Baiyan didn’t push her away; there were often people passing by on the ground floor, so he held her, responding briefly without deepening the kiss.

Ultimately, Tang Li was the one to let go first.

With a flushed face, she muttered, "I just told myself summer is the worst."

"Short of breath?" Song Baiyan chuckled.

"... It’s just hot."

Tang Li insisted on her narrative.

After speaking, she walked out without glancing sideways.

Once she turned through the corridor, she touched her cheeks.

Unreasonable indeed.

The thought of her 10G of high-definition video obtained by sneaking into a group brought her a sense of realization, magnifying her perspective!

These things need to be watched and learned more!

Returning to the Lai Family, Tang Li was getting out of the car when she unexpectedly ran into Lai Wenyan.

Her conveniently nicknamed father was still wearing yesterday’s shirt, heavily creased, with dark circles under his eyes, scruffy stubble, and a poor spirit, carrying a thermos in his left hand.

Lai Wenyan was brought back by Jiang Yuan.

Just as they closed the car door, a white sedan with red-lettered plates stopped behind them.

Such cars are typically used by the government.

Seeing Tang Li descending from the car, is there anything left unclear?

After spending more than thirty hours in the interrogation room of the Ministry of Public Security, seeing this daughter again makes Lai Wenyan want to wring her neck!

Just yesterday, he missed the senator election.

The new senator list came out at noon.

If he wants to be a councilman again, he has to wait six years.

Six years, which translates into two thousand one hundred ninety days, or fifty-two thousand five hundred sixty hours, multiply by sixty, the minutes alone could drive him insane!

And the one responsible for this current situation is the daughter right in front of him!

Tang Li met Lai Wenyan’s almost murderous gaze, but instead of shrinking away, she smiled, "Dad, you’re finally back; it wasn’t in vain that I went out of my way to see His Excellency."

"You specially went to Tan Palace for me?"

Once bitten, twice shy.

Lai Wenyan wouldn’t just be fooled as before!

Tang Li, as if oblivious to the latent tension, nodded, her expression slightly sorrowful, "Yesterday when Dad you were taken away, I was about to call His Excellency, but Aunt Qian went upstairs to get her luggage, saying she was going abroad with Yuanyuan and my elder sister. I couldn’t stop them, so I followed them to the airport."

Lai Wenyan: "......"

What could be harder to accept than having your wife and daughter abandon you to escape?!

Before he could inquire about the whereabouts of Ouyang Qian and her daughters, Tang Li smiled, "But don’t worry, Dad, I’ve successfully stopped them, and now, they’re all at the Public Security Bureau."
