Chapter 503: Chapter 503: When You’ve Made Up Your Mind, Come Find Me at the Han Family
Tang Li looked at the tightly shut double doors in front of her, feeling her stomach sink as if a heavy stone was tied to it, all her organs seemed out of place.
It turned out that the guess she made at the state banquet was true.
She was not the only one who lived again.
But why, why did it have to be Han Jifeng?
It seemed like a cruel joke from the heavens.
Tang Li felt like she was back to the night she was reborn, lost and confused, as if she had fallen into a nightmare. In this life, she did not want to have any involvement with Han Jifeng again, but he came to her, saying, “I also know about our past life, so, let’s get married again.”
He despised her so much in their past life, yet he wants to marry her again.
Doesn’t he find it ridiculous?
Thinking this, Tang Li turned around, her lips curved into a slight smile: “I’m doing quite well as an actress now, your mother’s health is so poor, if I marry into the Han Family, I certainly won’t have spare time to look after her.”
Under the black cap, the girl’s features were delicate, her eyes and brows smiling, but that smile never reached her eyes, more like mockery. Her fair skin framed by her black hair tucked behind her ears, unlike in his dreams, she standing before him was vivid with the liveliness of a 20-year-old girl.
“You can continue being an actress, the rest you don’t have to worry about.”
Han Jifeng opened his mouth.
Tang Li did not have this privilege in her past life.
She nodded, but then said: “But I think we’re still not suitable, you and my sister are a better match, a pair of matched talents and beauty. Standing next to you, I’m like a good vegetable ruined by pigs. Of course, you’re that big white cabbage, and taking someone like me out, you’d be the laughingstock among your friends.”
“Real friends, knowing what I want, naturally won’t say more.”
“Then you might end up a loner.”
In her previous life, none of his friends liked her.
The smile on Tang Li’s mouth grew stronger: “Although Minister Xia is now gone, if we get married and you get involved in a case again, I will definitely be the first to denounce you. If you get arrested, I will surely set off fireworks to celebrate.”
Han Jifeng looked at her, his eyes unwavering: “After marriage, I will behave properly, what you’re worried about will never happen.”
Hearing his words, the smile on Tang Li’s lips faded.
Then she said, “Marriage is not impossible, as a sign of sincerity, you first tell me what illness Song Baiyan will contract in the future.”
“When you become Mrs. Han, you will naturally learn what you need to know.”
Seeing that Han Jifeng was not fooled, Tang Li stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: “You say you have dreams, so you must have dreamt about how I died.”
Han Jifeng was silent.
“Since you are aware of how I died an untimely death, what makes you think I would marry you again and walk down the same old path?”
“There will be no other in this life.”
His gaze was serene and unfathomable: “You will be the only Mrs. Han. Be it dreams or past lives, whatever I owe you, I will make it up to you in the future.”
Tang Li said, “If you want to make it up to me, then tell me why Song Baiyan passed away due to illness.”
Han Jifeng averted his eyes, and while taking a drink of water, he spoke, “When you’ve thought it over, come find me at the Han Family.”
His reply was met with the double doors closing heavily.
Han Jifeng looked at the table full of dishes, and ultimately didn’t continue eating.
Tang Li left Fuyuan and took a taxi straight to National Square.
Sitting in the car, she took out her cellphone to make a call.
It took three attempts before someone answered.
