Capítulo 605: Chapter 605: Some Things Shouldn’t Be Said to Men
But that was only for a moment.
Afterwards, Song Baiyan’s hand didn’t move again.
Tang Li’s heart pounded violently, her thoughts somewhat dazed, as if suddenly startled and before she could react, Song Baiyan embraced her, then admonished, “Some words, you shouldn’t say recklessly to men.”
Gao Wenlan came downstairs, planning to grab a facial mask from the refrigerator. Before she reached the door, from a distance, she noticed two overlapping shadows projected onto the kitchen door.
Gao Wenlan’s first reaction—there was a thief in the house.
After a moment of shock, she felt it wasn’t possible.
She assumed it was a mistake of sight, mistaking the objects the cleaning lady had placed there for a person.
Just then, a girl’s soft voice came through: “Then there are also some words that you can’t say to women.”
Gao Wenlan realized it was Tang Li.
She thought Tang Li was on a phone call, not suspecting that Tang Li would bring a stranger into the Wong’s home, especially since the compound’s security was very strict. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✶fire.net
“Especially words like ‘you’re still young,'” Tang Li spoke again, “We girls take great issue with the matter of age.”
Another voice, following Tang Li’s, resounded: “Knowing that you’re a girl, you should be more mindful of your language.”
In an instant, Gao Wenlan halted her steps.
The man’s deep and robust voice was not unfamiliar to her.
Song Baiyan, in his thirties, couldn’t easily be mimicked by anyone else, neither his low timbre nor his speech manner.
Tang Li’s soft voice came through once again: “Then hold me for a bit longer.”
Gao Wenlan glanced at the kitchen door, where the two shadows indeed moved slightly.
Such intimacy in the dead of night wasn’t normal for a senior and junior relative.
Having lived half a lifetime, Gao Wenlan understood these things all too well.
Even though she tried to reason it as a senior and junior relative casually chatting in the kitchen, the communication between a man and a woman with a bit of that ‘something’ was undeniably different from normal.
Gao Wenlan didn’t continue forward but turned back upstairs.
In the bedroom, Wong Yangming was wearing glasses and flipping through textbooks on the bed. When he noticed his wife entering and closing the door, he looked up and asked, “You seem in a rush. Weren’t you going to get a face mask?”
Gao Wenlan sat on the edge of the bed: “Guess what I saw in the kitchen?”
If it hadn’t been for her own eyes and ears, she couldn’t have imagined that her favored goddaughter and Song Baiyan were involved.
It was hard to believe that she and Old Wong thought of Tang Li as a junior related to the Song Family.
But which grown adult would act coy and cling to an elder requesting to be held?
After all, there are differences between men and women, no longer just a few years old child.
“It was Baiyan and Xiao Tang.” Gao Wenlan didn’t hide it from her husband: “They were hugging each other in the kitchen, not like an uncle-nephew relationship, more like—”
The word “lovers” was somewhat hard for her to say out loud.
Wong Yangming’s textbook flipping paused.
Gao Wenlan couldn’t help saying: “At the dinner table, I didn’t notice anything between the two of them. It can’t be that because I arranged for them to stay next to each other, things escalated ? Relationships don’t heat up this fast, and that girl Xiao Tang, I know she is a bit proactive, but with the age gap between her and Baiyan, this is… not good, right?”
As she spoke, she stood up again: “If something happens, it wouldn’t matter much for Baiyan being a man, but the girl is young, she should be more careful.”
Wong Yangming stopped his wife: “Where are you going?”
Upon learning that Gao Wenlan intended to make some noise outside, Wong Yangming took off his glasses: “They’re all adults, wouldn’t you just be annoying people?”
“It’s not about being adults or not, I’m worried Xiao Tang will be at a disadvantage.”
