Chapter 563: Chapter 563: All Men Are Possessive, and Mr. Song Is No Exception
“My voice isn’t anything special to listen to.”
“Um, it’s especially nice to hear.” Tang Li hugged her knees, sitting on the bed: “Just by listening to your voice, I feel extremely reassured, just like now.”
It was 6:40 p.m. in Country S, which was 11:40 a.m. in Berlin.
Presidential suite of the hotel.
Song Baiyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, rolling up his shirt sleeves, with his suit and tie placed on the sofa. His left hand, wearing a watch, rested on his waist. He listened to the girl’s flattering “compliments” coming from the cellphone, silently chuckling to himself. At this age, in the end, he needed a little girl to sweet-talk him.
Tang Li asked, “It’s noon in Berlin now, aren’t you busy today?”
“One can be busy and still take a lunch break.”
After Song Baiyan responded, he then asked her what she had been doing in the past few days, like a routine check-up. Tang Li read concern from such inquiries, so she didn’t conceal the truth and answered, “I’m in Shangbu.”
“My mother has a friend here; I came to visit him.”
Appropriately, Tang Li told a little white lie. In her view, seeing Ren Zhengxiong was her own business. This matter wasn’t too difficult to handle and there was no need to trouble others, even if this “others” referred to Song Baiyan.
His official duties were so hectic; now that he was abroad, she really shouldn’t bother him with her chit-chat.
Tang Li added, “After I meet him tomorrow, I’ll head back to the Capital.”
As for whether or not she would actually get to meet him, she did not mention.
After Song Baiyan hung up, he soon called Yuan Qin.
With Tang Li going to Shangbu to find someone, Yuan Qin naturally followed. Mr. Song had instructed him to ensure Miss Tang’s safety. Having received related training in the army, he clearly understood the scope of this protection. Even though IMG had given him a holiday, behind the scenes, he still had to follow Tang Li to ensure her absolute safety.
Otherwise, it would be his dereliction of duty in Mr. Song’s eyes.
When Yuan Qin was asked by Song Baiyan about Tang Li’s itinerary in Shangbu over the past couple of days, he reported truthfully, “Miss Tang stays at a hotel near the Public Security Department. She waited outside the Public Security Department all day yesterday and also this morning, and this afternoon she went to the City Hall.”
Stopping for a few seconds at this point, Yuan Qin continued, “At the City Hall entrance, Miss Tang encountered Director Han. He should have been there for a meeting in Shangbu.”
Yuan Qin had followed Tang Li for a while.
Last time at Wentan Garden, he had seen Han Jifeng.
At that time, Tang Li went with Han Jifeng to Fuyuan for a meal. In less than half an hour, Tang Li came out; it seemed that they hadn’t had a pleasant chat. After that, Tang Li took a taxi to Tan Palace. This incident was previously mentioned to Mr. Song in a veiled way, and he responded that Miss Tang had her own privacy, advising him not to report everything in detail.
That said, Yuan Qin always bore in mind that Miss Tang was Mr. Song’s woman. No man would like the idea of other men hovering around his woman, and Mr. Song was no exception.
Even if Mr. Song hadn’t said much.
All men have a sense of possessiveness, especially those who are in high positions.
That night in London, Yuan Qin saw with his own eyes how Mr. Song treated Miss Tang—not putting on airs, indeed like Ji Ming had revealed to him, in front of Miss Tang, Mr. Song was the kindest person in the world. You don’t have to worry that Mr. Song will suddenly turn his face; whatever Miss Tang wants to do, Mr. Song will never outright say “no.”
Those in power are never truly tender-hearted.
Yuan Qin, unlike Ji Ming who had been following Song Baiyan all year round, also understood Song Baiyan— Follow current novels on novelFɪre.net
Seemingly gentle, yet truly assertive.
Song Baiyan’s political tact fully reflected his true nature.
Gentleness is but a guise.
