Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 278: Minister Song’s Girlish Heart

Dusk, the winter sunset painted half the sky red.

The chilling wind tousled her hair and crept into the crevices of her sweater, sending shivers through her body, but Tang Li felt no trembling. In her mind, she could still hear the voice of the man on the phone. He said, "Is this Miss Tang? The Finance Minister sent me to deliver a New Year’s gift to you."

Pebbles got caught in her cotton slippers, causing pain at the soles of her feet.

Tang Li had no choice but to stop, take off her slippers to dump out the pebbles, then continue running towards the main entrance of Wentan Garden. When she pressed the circular button to open the door, the sensor door slowly swung open, revealing the black sedan parked by the roadside.

As she stepped out, a man resembling a bodyguard pushed open the driver’s door and stepped out.

Tang Li remembered him; they had dined together at Guangyuan Temple.

Dressed in a neat suit and, due to the cold, layered with a down jacket outside, he called out "Miss Tang" and upon Tang Li approaching, he opened the rear car door and bent over to take out something.

Tang Li stood aside and saw a gift box almost half her height, surprise flickering in her eyes, as she couldn’t imagine what was inside.

"Minister Song was worried it might be hard for Miss Song to carry, so he sent me to deliver it to your dormitory."

"Is it very heavy?"

The bodyguard honestly replied, "It is somewhat heavy for you, mainly due to its size."

"What is the gift?" Tang Li asked.

"I am not quite sure about that." The bodyguard said, "Minister Song left for Berlin today, took a 4 PM flight. Before boarding, the minister spent over an hour at the duty-free shop, with only Lieutenant Colonel Ji accompanying him throughout. When Lieutenant Colonel Ji called me over, the gift was already wrapped and placed there."

From this explanation, Tang Li picked up an important piece of information: "Is Minister Song not in the country anymore?"

Before coming out, she had checked the time.

It was precisely five o’clock in the evening.

"At this moment, the minister should be on the plane," the bodyguard rolled up his sleeves to check his watch, then added, "This visit will last three to four days. If all goes well, the minister might also make a detour to Northern Europe, and it will be around mid-month before he can return to the country."

The bodyguard could not disclose more of the itinerary to Tang Li.

Tang Li did not inquire further.

The bodyguard helped her move the items to her dormitory and then left.

After closing the dormitory door, Tang Li stood in front of the gift box nearly reaching her armpit, feeling a bit at a loss on how to proceed.

After a while, she took the small knife Wu Xuehan used for opening parcels from the desk, cut the ribbon in the middle, made a light slice through the pink tissue paper, and then tore off the wrapping paper, revealing the true face of the gift.

Beneath the transparent, dust-proof acrylic cover, the coast of Valencia, a realistically miniaturized scene of a European aristocratic loft villa, surrounded by a sunny swimming pool of the Spanish bay with floating swim rings. Starfish and pebbles were piled up under the walkway behind the villa, and at the end of the pathway, there was a small white yacht tethered.

Though it was a handicraft, it was crafted exquisitely. On the first floor’s dining room, the table was filled with delicious dishes, with turkeys wrapped in leaves seemingly still emitting steaming aroma.

On the kitchen counter, besides the sink and various kitchen utensils, Tang Li saw a Starbucks cup and a coffee machine.

The modern minimalist style living room, with exquisite wallpaper and clocks, and a bookcase filled with books. Looking closely, one could even discern the font on the book spines. Ascending the spiral staircase, whether it was the open-air hammock or the conservatory designed with skylights, everything exuded a genuine sense of delicacy.

In the bedroom, a Barbie doll sat in front of a vanity, with sea-blue grey long hair, dressed in a lovely strapless long gown, playful yet adorable.
