Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1134: Isn’t This Exactly How She Acts in Front of Song Baiyan?

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Isn’t This Exactly How She Acts in Front of Song Baiyan?

Lying sideways, she picked up the cellphone and stared at the lit-up screen.

The cellphone Song Baiyan gave her was smashed, and this one is newly bought, with the lock screen background still being that photo of Ah Xi sticking out his tongue and winking.

Not sending her messages is the normal state.

If Song Baiyan continued to show care, what kind of ’separation’ is that?

It’s just that the process of separation was a bit different from what she imagined.

She didn’t expect Song Baiyan to agree so readily.

He didn’t even ask her a single question.

But she never doubted Song Baiyan’s feelings for her; agreeing to separate doesn’t mean he stopped loving her.

If Song Baiyan didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t have gone on the trip to Northern Myanmar.

Thinking about what happened in previous years, Tang Li tightened the edge of the cellphone case.

This kidnapping incident made her see reality—

Leaving Song Baiyan completely was the best outcome for him.

But...

Tang Li recalled Song Baiyan’s slightly grayed temples in the previous lifetime; completely separating equals to never being in contact again, she feared she would regret it in the future.

So, she was selfish.

Aware that such separation is just a superficial fix, she still couldn’t bring herself to say more heartless words.

She thought, controlling the Lai Family would lead to peace.

Yet she forgot that life is unpredictable.

Ultimately, she underestimated these butterfly effects.

Tang Li temporarily stopped taking roles; considering Kun might come, she didn’t attend classes at school either. Early the next morning, she @Yu Sui in the group chat, asking her to help bring some third-year professional books over.

At ten in the morning, Yu Sui and Wu Xuehan appeared at Yunqi Villa carrying books.

As soon as she saw Tang Li descending the stairs, Yu Sui let go of the cardboard box.

"Bang!"

The cardboard box fell, books scattered all over the place.

But she no longer cared.

Tang Li had just stepped down the stairs when Yu Sui hugged her tightly, a choke in her voice followed: "Ah Li, it’s so good that you’re fine! Do you know, Xuehan said you were missing, I was so worried that I had sleepless nights, losing hair in chunks, my eyes were almost blinded by tears!"

Wu Xuehan: "...!"

She was ultimately slower.

Not as quick as Yu Sui to throw the box, nor as sweet as her!

Tang Li then heard a loud ’thud’, and looked toward the sound to find Wu Xuehan had already thrown away the box and was rubbing her eyes, tilting her mouth as if ready to cry.

"..." Tang Li.

The next second, she pushed Yu Sui away: "Don’t wipe your snot on my clothes."

Yu Sui: ... Heartless!

Seeing Tang Li’s rather disdainful expression, Wu Xuehan’s cry got stuck in her throat, her tears and snot were ready, but rushing over would surely stain Ah Li’s shirt collar.

She had already sharply noticed that Tang Li was wearing men’s clothes.

That striped shirt was too big, enveloping Tang Li’s slender frame, with a long skirt below, a rather mismatched outfit, yet extremely hideous.

As for the shirt, no need to guess whose it was.

Wu Xuehan was glad she stopped herself; if she had dirtied His Excellency’s shirt, Ah Li would likely have gone berserk.

If that happened, they’d really be in for a scolding!

Tang Li personally went to the kitchen, brewing a pot of orange juice for the guests.

When she returned to the living room, Wu Xuehan and Yu Sui were scrolling through news with their heads together.

Yu Sui glanced at Tang Li placing the orange juice on the coffee table, holding her cellphone mysteriously: "Ah Li, I have some news here, you should be mentally prepared."

Tang Li looked at her: "What news?"

"It’s about your dad." Yu Sui raised the cellphone: "He and your stepmother are trending!"

Tang Li: "......"

Taking the cellphone, the screen showed a notification from the Capital police.

The notification detailed the case of Lai Wenyan and Ouyang Qian being kidnapped across borders by a drug lord.

Released just a quarter of an hour ago, and now topping the trends.

The police stated they would thoroughly investigate the kidnapping case, and collaborate with Burma to ensure the entire criminal gang is caught!

Looking at the notification content, Tang Li thought of the drug raid she saw in Song Baiyan’s office yesterday; the two events seemed unrelated, yet this notification was a detonator of sorts.

What she didn’t expect was, Song Baiyan moved so quickly.

"If you ask me, not only should the people be rescued, but it would be best if these drug lords are captured too!"

Yu Sui peeled a banana skin, sipping orange juice: "They really think our country’s public security system is just decoration? Daring to kidnap someone under the Emperor’s feet, they should be made aware, whoever offends our nation, even if far away, must be punished!"

"Exactly!" Wu Xuehan agreed: "It’d be best to bring them to S nation for trial!"

That notification undoubtedly stirred up national emotions.

Tang Li returned the cellphone to Yu Sui, outside came the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.

She went out for a look, finding it was Song Jingtian.

The little guy was dragging a mini suitcase, with a corgi butt cushion tucked under his left arm, followed by He Wei carrying a bamboo basket.

Inside the bamboo basket was a small orange cat.

Locking eyes with Song Jingtian’s gaze, the little guy silently glared at her.

Tang Li just raised her head, looking at He Wei questioningly.

He Wei explained: "Yesterday afternoon the old lady was fiddling with the peonies in the garden, woke up this morning feeling dizzy and with a slight fever, Aunt Min needs to care for the old lady, fearing she can’t take care of Second Master, so Mr. asked me to bring Second Master here to you."

"By the way." He Wei extended a hand, "This is the little cat you previously entrusted Mr. to raise, it’s weaned, and has been bullying both Ah Xi and Tiger Whip at Tan Palace, so—"

Tang Li looked down at the bamboo basket, the small orange cat lay on its back, all four paws spread.

It was clearly a spoiled creature.

He Wei finished delivering the people and cat, and retreated after accomplishing his task.

Tang Li and Song Jingtian exchanged big eye to small eye in the living room, in the end, she was the first to speak: "Isn’t Tan Palace quite good, running around in this hot weather."

Song Jingtian slowly pursed his little mouth.

He understood—

This was not welcoming him!

"Exactly." The little guy nudged Tang Li aside with his bum, dragging his suitcase directly inside: "The weather is so hot, if Big Brother hadn’t spoken, I wouldn’t even bother moving."

Song Jingtian had seen Yu Sui and Wu Xuehan before.

After entering the living room and seeing the two, he couldn’t help but look back at Tang Li, with a meaningful expression.

He just knew, suddenly moving out of Tan Palace.

Turned out she wanted to live a single life with her girlfriends.

How did he say it before, old men are boring, just a few days of living together, and she was already eager to escape.

This escape, even leaving her son behind.

Tang Li watched Song Jingtian casually settle on the sofa, also having the small orange cat taken by the servants, as for cat food and litter, He Wei had thoughtfully brought them along.

Listening to the kitten’s babyish meows, Tang Li scratched its chin, the little one immediately grabbed her finger, licking again and again.

This was its way of acting spoiled, reminding her of herself.

In front of Song Baiyan, wasn’t she like this?

An hour later, He Wei returned to Tan Palace.

He went to the west wing of the main building to report immediately.

"Everything was delivered?"

"Yes."

He Wei nodded, then added: "The wife’s classmates were also there."

Song Baiyan flipped a page of the document in hand, his expression no longer so somber, his brows relaxed: "Do they look good?"

—

Goodnight.
