Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1179: No Matter How Handsome, None Can Compare to You
Tang Li only picked up the video call after reaching a secluded corner.
The little guy was wearing a school uniform, still as sassy as ever. As soon as the video connected, he raised an eyebrow. Tang Li noticed the scene behind him: "Are you getting ready for recess exercises?"
Song Jingtian didn’t deny it.
He had deliberately slowed his pace to fall behind, then called Tang Li.
As the class descended the stairs, he ducked into the nearby restroom.
Song Jingtian chose a stall to hide in, locked the door, and continued chatting with Tang Li: "If I don’t reach out, are you going to forget about me?"
Tang Li could tell the little guy was upset that she hadn’t checked in with him after landing yesterday.
"I was afraid you were asleep."
That explanation might fool a three-year-old.
Song Jingtian grumbled and then asked, "How’s your relative doing?"
"Pretty good," Tang Li replied. "He should be out of the hospital in a few days."
"So, when do you plan to come back?"
The little guy got straight to the point.
"It might still be a while."
"How long is ’a while’?"
Tang Li couldn’t give a specific timeline, so she said, "Once he’s almost fully recovered, I’ll come back."
Song Jingtian wasn’t satisfied with her vague answer: "What if he never fully recovers?"
"If he doesn’t, then I guess I’ll just hang around."
Such a lazy answer earned her a glare from the little guy.
Tang Li also sensed something was off: "Song Jingtian, why aren’t you outside for exercises?"
Song Jingtian: "..."
"Did you skip recess exercises?" Tang Li faintly heard the music for the exercise routine.
"I had a stomachache."
The little guy argued, then pressed the flush button: "Listen."
Tang Li: "Did you mess up your pants?"
Song Jingtian: "......"
If he stood while using the toilet, his pants must have gotten dirty.
Tang Li’s logic was solid. The little guy wanted to argue back but couldn’t find the right words, so he changed the subject: "Being in Siam is nice, maybe the Tan Palace will soon welcome a new lady of the house."
The little guy clearly had more to say.
"What do you mean?" Tang Li asked him.
"Just what I said."
Song Jingtian was trying to sound mysterious, afraid Tang Li wouldn’t bite, so he gave her more information: "After you left yesterday, a woman came to the Tan Palace and spent nearly two hours in the upstairs study with my brother. He even invited her to lunch. You’ve met her before, at Meng Shu’s wedding."
Tang Li couldn’t believe Song Baiyan would cheat.
Even if he would, it wouldn’t have been yesterday.
The little guy was full of nonsense, clearly trying to stir up trouble.
Tang Li replied with an "Oh," and prepared to end the call: "I’m out of WIFI, I’ll hang up first."
Seeing Tang Li wasn’t joking, Song Jingtian quickly added: "Actually, it’s Meng Shu’s sister-in-law, the daughter of the Jian family."
Meng Shu’s sister-in-law was Kang Yunxi’s stepsister.
Tang Li had an impression of Miss Jian.
Since she was over thirty and unmarried, she was a focal point for matchmaking at Meng Shu’s wedding.
Plus, she was also a doctor.
"The biggest fear in a long-distance relationship is being caught off guard."
The little guy continued: "I heard Miss Jian got promoted to associate senior at a young age and is a key talent groomed by the First Hospital abroad. My brother really admires her."
Tang Li: "You seem to know a lot about her, did you do some digging?"
Song Jingtian: "..."
Before he could refute, footsteps sounded from outside.
It was obviously the duty teacher coming to catch those skipping recess exercises.
"I’ll talk to you later."
Song Jingtian ended the video call, unlocked the stall door, and ran out quickly.
Tang Li’s mind pictured Miss Jian, who seemed like a reserved person. If Song Baiyan was meeting her, it was likely about medical reform laws.
The medical reform law needed constant revision and improvement, and participation from medical staff was essential.
Because Li Ruan was going to an appraisal institution, Tang Li was picked up at the Li Residence by another driver.
While waiting for the car, Yuan Qin suddenly remarked: "Many people who come to Chiang Mai Prefecture for tourism often visit Shuanglong Temple."
Tang Li turned to look at him: "Are you looking for a romance blessing?"
Yuan Qin: "..."
It wasn’t that he wanted to.
It was just that, before the trip, the master had instructed.
— Since you’re in Chiang Mai Prefecture, take Madam out to see more.
"Phra Singh Temple is also nice." Noticing Tang Li wasn’t keen on Shuanglong Temple, Yuan Qin added: "It’s the largest temple in Chiang Mai Prefecture, and there’s an ancient city nearby."
"Or go to Chedi Long Temple."
Last night, Yuan Qin had done his homework: "But there are many taboos at Chedi Long Temple, especially regarding attire, and you can’t wear shoes inside either."
Tang Li wasn’t the type of boss who’s strict with employees. Seeing Yuan Qin mention three temples, she decided to let him go: "If you want to go, just go. I won’t tell His Excellency about your negligence this time."
Yuan Qin: ....
He had to clarify: "I thought it might be worth you checking out."
Tang Li didn’t really want to visit those places.
Under her umbrella, she mused: "No matter how handsome the young monks in the temples are, they can’t compare to His Excellency."
Yuan Qin: "..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Tang Li remembered something about that child and couldn’t help but ask Yuan Qin: "I heard Isa has a mistress from S country by his side, do you know about that?"
"The Anti-drug Bureau has an intelligence department, but some information is not publicly shared."
However—
Yuan Qin continued: "From what I understand, Isa has been hiding so well in recent years that even the Anti-drug Bureau’s informants can’t reach him. As for the mistress, Isa isn’t lacking women, even if the intelligence department has information, it may not be complete."
