Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1146: The Person I Can’t Bear to Leave Most Is My Husband [Second Update]
A sliding door separated the inside from the outside.
Tang Li continued brushing her teeth, gradually becoming somewhat absent-minded.
Because the sliding door had never been opened.
She lifted her left hand again and opened the door a crack. Inside the master bedroom, it was just like when she had entered the bathroom; still, only a floor lamp was lit, and she didn’t see anyone moving on the carpet.
Could it really have been a servant delivering clothes who entered the master bedroom just now?
She drank some water, rinsing her mouth leisurely.
Her doe-like eyes still stared outside.
Maybe the person was in the closet?
What should she say when she saw Song Baiyan this time?
Even if she wasn’t thick-skinned enough to mention it, what if Song Baiyan took the initiative to ask her when she was leaving?
Li Ruan had already left, so how could she blindly buy a ticket and fly to Chiang Mai Prefecture to find out the truth?
What if Ruan was lying to her?
If she went to Chiang Mai Prefecture, wouldn’t she be walking into a trap?
After all, she was an adult; she still had a bit of wariness.
She rinsed her mouth over and over, but still didn’t hear any noise from the closet.
Tang Li put down the rinsing cup, the hand gripping her toothbrush pushed the sliding door completely open.
Just as she was about to go out and check, and her right foot stepped over the door frame, a warm, deep male voice sounded by her left ear: "Finally willing to let go of the bathroom?"
Tang Li: "..."
She turned her head and saw the man by the doorway.
Song Baiyan had just rolled up his shirt sleeves. As he raised his head, he also saw Tang Li, who looked like a startled fawn. The corners of his eyes wrinkled with a gentle smile, and his voice was deep and slow: "Looking all flustered; what sneaky things were you doing in there?"
Tang Li wanted to deny it but forgot she still had a mouthful of toothpaste water.
In her anxiety, she swallowed it directly.
Tang Li: "......"
With nothing left in her mouth, Tang Li spoke, "What could I possibly be doing in the bathroom."
"Was it you who trimmed my toothbrush bristles a few days ago?"
Tang Li had already forgotten about this.
Being pointed out now, of course, she couldn’t admit it.
Otherwise, it would make her seem petty.
"What bristles." Tang Li hid the hand holding the toothbrush behind her back, while asking: "How would I know? Maybe it was some naughty kid’s doing?"
Song Baiyan didn’t respond to this and just entered the bathroom.
Tang Li followed in, just about to rinse her mouth again when she heard Song Baiyan say: "Planning to watch me use the toilet?"
"..." Tang Li.
She saw in the wall mirror that Song Baiyan was standing in front of the urinal. Her face turned red all of a sudden; even though she had seen it before or even touched it, watching someone pee was a different matter.
Holding the cup and toothbrush, she walked out of the bathroom.
She even helped close the sliding door with a backward pull.
Yet, whether it was just a mental effect or not, even though separated by a door, Tang Li seemed to still hear the sounds.
Things she didn’t notice before now seemed unusually unhealthy when she did pay attention.
Before long, she heard the sound of flushing.
When Song Baiyan came out, Tang Li didn’t rush to enter the bathroom again.
After about five minutes, noticing Song Baiyan was about to come out of the closet, she quickly dashed in, rinsing her mouth as fast as she could. Luckily, she had washed her face before brushing her teeth.
She quickly rubbed her face with the towel hanging on the wall, and just when she was about to go out, she turned around and came face to face with Song Baiyan again.
"What’s with tonight, always so reckless?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"..."
Tang Li was no longer planning to explain, intending to squeeze past between Song Baiyan and the door frame when a big hand brushed across her chin first.
As she looked closely, she saw that Song Baiyan’s hand was full of toothpaste foam.
"Is this how you wash your face?"
"Who said I washed my face." Tang Li retorted.
As she said it, she retreated back to the wash basin: "I was going to get the face towel just now."
Song Baiyan took the opportunity to wash his hands too.
Tang Li had already picked up the facial cleanser, pretending to squeeze out a generous amount.
Seeing her so ’busy,’ Song Baiyan found it amusing, his laughter showing on his face as he noticed his towel had been crumpled into a ball: "Washing your face like you’re going to war. If someone who didn’t know better saw this, they’d think there’s a little slob living here."
Tang Li: "..."
Looking at the wash basin, there really was water everywhere.
... Aren’t all women like this?
When using facial cleanser, one definitely has to scoop water to wash off the foam from the face.
Besides, every time after she finished washing her face, she would wipe down the wash basin.
Tonight was just an exception.
Tang Li wanted to remedy it but was chased out.
When Song Baiyan came out of the shower, the air conditioner in the room was set extremely low; Tang Li had already crawled into the bed, with only a weak light coming from the edge of the quilt.
Tang Li was lying down browsing Wikipedia when suddenly, the quilt over her was lifted away.
"Playing on the phone while lying down, do you want to become a little blind person?"
Hearing Song Baiyan’s rebuke, Tang Li obediently sat up.
She put down her cellphone and noticed Song Baiyan picking up a hardcover book from the bedside table. Out of curiosity, she glanced a couple of times; "The Winter of the World" was not her area of interest.
To avoid worrying Song Baiyan, Tang Li felt it necessary to clarify about the trip to Siam that never happened.
"My cousin seems to have returned to Siam first."
Tang Li broached the subject.
Song Baiyan’s eyes left the book and fell on Tang Li. She continued: "I figured if they wanted to acknowledge me, they’d definitely come to S Country. After all, we haven’t confirmed whether Ruan was lying."
"Thinking like that shows you’re already mature enough." Song Baiyan set down the book, and in his words, didn’t hide his praise for her: "If someone could fool you with just a few words, you’d be silly enough to help them count the money after being sold."
Tang Li said: "I’m no fool."
Song Baiyan smiled, agreeing with her: "Indeed, you’re not foolish. You even know not to act as a lone hero."
"Of course I wouldn’t be impulsive." Being praised, Tang Li felt somewhat shy.
As she spoke, she pulled her right hand out from the quilt, moving it bit by bit, placing it on the back of Song Baiyan’s right hand like playing piano: "Now, I have a family to think about."
Tang Li used her fingers to gently scratch the man’s finger seams: "If I just followed someone else, what would happen to my family? Besides, I can’t bear to leave them, my mother-in-law, Jingtian, Aunt Min... of course, the hardest one to leave behind would be my husband."
As soon as she finished speaking, her right hand was held in a reverse grip.
Song Baiyan used his left hand to grasp her, while his right arm pulled her into his embrace.
"When you head back to Chiang Mai Prefecture in the future, if you have other family members, don’t forget about your husband left behind."
"How could I."
Knowing Song Baiyan was joking, Tang Li still raised her head and said: "No matter how many family members I have in the future, you have always been the most important to me."
As soon as she finished saying this, her face heated up.
Being an old couple and saying this kind of thing felt a bit cheesy.
Song Baiyan had no comment on Tang Li’s declaration.
He just quietly continued to hold her shoulder.
At this age, Tang Li was too young. When she chose to be with him initially, it was likely due to admiration of his influence, and the harsh treatment by the Lai Family people also contributed to this relationship. Now, it was he who considered the chain reactions from the Li Family.
Tang Li raised her head again: "The moon is quite round tonight, want to explore the mysteries of the human body?"

Goodnight, see you tomorrow!
