Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 105: Almost Fooled by You

Wu Xuehan glanced at Song Jingtian and said in a sly tone near Tang Li: "In my opinion, he just wants to go to Shangbu himself but is afraid of getting lost, so he’s dragging you down with him."

Hearing this, Song Jingtian’s eyes widened as he glared at Wu Xuehan.

— Resenting her meddling.

"Didn’t the driver come to pick you up from school?" asked Tang Li to Song Jingtian.

"He did." Song Jingtian replied nonchalantly, pointing towards a nearby slope with his small hand: "Isn’t he parked over there?"

Tang Li turned and saw the car from the morning.

Song Jingtian suddenly pulled her aside, away from Wu Xuehan, and with his dark, bright eyes, he looked at her: "Do you want to go to Shangbu? There’s Disneyland, Sweet Tower, and lots of fun and tasty things. If you go, I can take you around."

His enticing tone made Tang Li feel like she was the child who was being lured.

"Do your family agree to you going to Shangbu alone?"

"..." Song Jingtian was choked by the question.

Tang Li had already guessed that he must be planning to sneak out again.

Noticing that his plan might fail, Song Jingtian quickly added: "You don’t have to worry about money, I’m all prepared."

After saying that, he bent down to rummage through his backpack on his shoulder.

Soon, he took out his canvas pencil case.

Pulling open the zipper of the pencil case, Song Jingtian showed Tang Li the Hundred-dollar bills inside: "I brought one thousand yuan in cash, and if that’s not enough, I also brought a bank card with my New Year’s money saved on it. I’ll tell you the password later, and you can withdraw money from the ATM."

Tang Li slightly curled the corners of her lips.

By then, she’d not only be abducting a child but also stealing money...

"Listening to what I said, do you really want to go?" Song Jingtian looked at her eagerly.

Tang Li zipped up his backpack, took it from him and also took his small hand: "Hmm, but I need to think it over a bit more."

The child’s hand was soft and warm, and holding it felt like having a small fireball in her palm.

She led Song Jingtian towards the sedan.

The little guy looked up and asked, "When will you give me a reply?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"...Tomorrow morning."

Song Jingtian frowned: "You need until tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is Saturday... he murmured quietly, then fearing Tang Li might change her mind, he conceded: "Fine, tomorrow then, but make sure to decide quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to see my brother tomorrow."

As they spoke, the two had already reached the car.

The driver came up to open the rear car door.

Tang Li put the backpack inside, turned, and told him: "I’ll contact you once I’ve made up my mind."

Satisfied with the answer, Song Jingtian obediently climbed into the car.

As the car door closed, the little guy lowered the window, leaned on the edge looking at her, with a face that screamed "I can’t deal with you": "You haven’t even asked for my contact yet!"

Then, the two exchanged phone numbers.

Song Jingtian wore a children’s watch, entered Tang Li’s phone number, and made sure the call went through, then he left the Art College relieved.

After dinner, Tang Li accompanied Wu Xuehan to the auditorium for rehearsal.

The role of Hermia in the musical had been confirmed, taken on by a female student from the dance academy, lent by Teacher Meng who was in charge of "A Midsummer Night’s Dream."

In the audience seats, Tang Li had just sat down when her cellphone began to vibrate non-stop in her pocket.

Picking up the call, the child’s crisp voice came through: "You almost tricked me, did you actually not want to go to Shangbu with me?"

Tang Li reluctantly admitted his guess: "Wait until you’re 18 and then you can go wherever you want."

"So, since I’m not grown up yet, you have to accompany me!"
