Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1119: Don’t Forget, I’m Also a Husband

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Don’t Forget, I’m Also a Husband

Her cheek pressed against the shirt, she rubbed back and forth several times.

Song Baiyan couldn’t help but smile at her dependent behavior but also embraced her back: "Such a grown-up, still acting spoiled?"

Tang Li still didn’t say a word, nor did she let go of that corner of the shirt.

Reason told her that she shouldn’t condone such behavior of abandoning official duties for personal matters, yet when she truly fell into Song Baiyan’s embrace, all those righteous words were pushed aside.

Understanding the logic but unable to control the body.

Since arriving at the village, she would wake up in the middle of the night for several consecutive nights.

Then, hugging the snoring, farting Song Jingtian, she found it impossible to fall asleep easily again.

Tang Li knew someone would come to rescue them, yet how, when, and whether they could be saved was all unknown.

When Kun gave her a three-day deadline, she had already made the worst plans.

Even when Ruan stepped in to help her deal with Kun, she didn’t truly feel at ease.

While Song Jingtian was flipping through that book "All-Purpose Goddess is a Real Boss", Tang Li couldn’t help but wonder, if she were really like Tang Li from the novel who could single-handedly defeat a dozen mercenaries and create bombs with just a bit of brainpower, she wouldn’t have found herself in such a plight.

Staying in the lab every day, looking at those bottles and jars, she felt as if she was dragging down the national average IQ.

After all, she was just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person as plain as could be.

After an unknown duration, Song Baiyan spoke again: "Planning to keep hugging like this?"

Upon hearing this, the small head in his arms finally moved.

Tang Li looked up at Song Baiyan, "Why didn’t you bring more people? With only Yuan Qin by your side, what if you get discovered?"

Song Baiyan laughed: "Aside from me and Yuan Qin, you are the only one who knows anything in this entire village. Planning to start a whistle-blowing campaign?"

"..." Tang Li couldn’t help but correct: "There’s one more."

Eight-year-old Song Jingtian is practically a potential guide traitor.

As for her, she’s just another upright and honest citizen.

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Li said again: "Your visit might be against regulations."

This time, she used a certain tone.

Even though Tang Li isn’t in politics, she understands the stakes involved.

After the speech ended, a large hand enveloped the back of her head.

A sigh sounded in her ear, accompanied by Song Baiyan’s steady, magnetic voice: "As a politician, Tang Li, don’t forget, I’m also a husband."

The words ’Tang Li’ seemed to drift in from afar.

Imparting an indescribable warmth through mere words. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

At this moment, Tang Li temporarily set aside the rules, raised both hands and caressed Song Baiyan’s face, making him appear less formidable and more approachable.

She looked at Song Baiyan in this pose, and a small curve formed on her lips.

"Why are you smiling?" Song Baiyan asked, while grabbing her right hand.

Tang Li shook her head.

She then rose on her tiptoes.

Originally intending to give a kiss, yet when she got close, seeing Song Baiyan’s prominent nose and handsome mature features, the sudden surge of emotion made her ultimately refrain from kissing.

Tang Li closed her eyes and gently rubbed her nose against Song Baiyan’s nose.

With a touch of affection.

After a few rubs, she backed away.

And watched Song Baiyan with soulful, deer-like eyes.

Song Baiyan asked: "Have you been scared these past few days?"

Tang Li shook her head again.

As Kun’s invited guests back to the village, barring any surprises, they’ll be leaving tomorrow.

Tang Li thought about the hundreds of armed personnel in the village, and couldn’t help saying: "Jingtian and I are quite fine here; they have no plans to act against us for now. Since we know the village location, we can have Myanmar side military police come and rescue us later as well."

Song Baiyan lightly tapped her head, "Get a good night’s sleep tonight; as for how to leave the village, there will be arrangements."

So, is there a real ambush outside?

But the number of responders is probably only two or three dozen at most.

Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly evade the sentries.

Tang Li does not want anyone to risk their lives for her in such a dangerous situation; if the rescue isn’t fully assured, she’d rather stay here ’idling’, especially now that Song Baiyan is here, they shouldn’t act impulsively.

She recalled Ruan’s earlier information, "Five days later, Kun is going to meet Isa and will take away half of the people."

As she spoke, Tang Li again looked at Song Baiyan: "At that time, during the change of defense, if someone is waiting outside, I can take Jingtian and slip out."

Song Baiyan asked her: "Is this something you found out?"

"Ruan told me." Tang Li made sure to clarify: "Ruan is Kun’s trusted subordinate."

"The young white-haired guy?"

Tang Li didn’t expect Song Baiyan to guess correctly and nodded: "Yes, it’s him. Since we came here, he has been watching us."

Song Baiyan also had quite an impression of this person named Ruan.

Not because he was always beside Kun.

But because, after handing a handkerchief to Tang Li, he has been constantly observing him.

After hearing Tang Li’s explanation, the previous probing found an answer.

The guy probably saw him as someone lusting after Tang Li’s beauty.

As for why Ruan cared about Tang Li and was even willing to reveal internal village arrangements, it went beyond simple betrayal.

In Ji Ming’s collected information, Ruan had been with Kun for ten years.

As for his background, it only stated ’had assaulted police in Siamese’.

This reason made him Kun’s lackey.

If he were baiting Tang Li with lies to test if she’d flee, naturally Kun instructed him; if he was sincere with Tang Li, then his loyalty to Kun was evident.

"I can sense that he isn’t that bad, actually."

Tang Li said again: "Just now he even mentioned Chiang Mai Prefecture to me, it seems like it might be his hometown. Clearly, he still wishes to return there."

Song Baiyan suddenly asked: "Has this Ruan been chatting with you often these past few days?"

Tang Li: "..."

"...Not really, just a few casual words occasionally."

Afraid Song Baiyan wouldn’t believe, she explained further: "Whenever we talked, Song Jingtian was usually nearby too. Since we’re adversaries, I need to stay vigilant."

Tang Li saw Song Baiyan sitting at the table pouring water, her hands clasped behind her gently scratching: "I’m just trying to glean some information from Ruan, that’s all."

Song Baiyan put down the water bottle, "Meeting someone who you can chat with here is fate in itself."

"Not really chat much, just exchanged pleasantries."

Song Baiyan looked at Tang Li who was proving her innocence, warmth spread across his face: "You’re no longer a child; finding a dependable friend isn’t a bad thing."

Dependable.

This condition, just excluded Ruan.

The no longer childlike Tang Li naturally cannot make friends with unreliable Ruan.

Song Baiyan’s implication was instantly understood by her.
