Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 126: How Could You Not Like It

Song Ru was infuriated yet amused, knowing exactly what Song Jingtian was up to: "Don’t think that saying that will spare you from my scolding."

After hearing this, Song Jingtian hid behind Tang Li again.

Tang Li: "..."

Turning her head towards Tang Li, Song Ru’s expression softened: "Bai Yan called me, the little guy must have caused you quite some trouble."

"It’s okay." Tang Li smiled with pursed lips.

Actually, she wanted to greet her first but couldn’t find the right title to use just then.

Song Ru said, "The car is already outside. Bai Yan mentioned that you and Xiao Si study at the same university. There is no direct bus back to the university here, and it’s so late now. It’s not safe for a girl to be out there alone, let us drive you back first."

Tang Li did not decline.

She could take the subway and then transfer to a bus, but that would be too bothersome, and there was a high chance she might miss the last bus. In the dead of night, even taking a taxi wasn’t 100% safe.

Tang Li returned to Wentan Garden, it was almost 12 o’clock.

She thanked Song Ru and watched the sedan drive away for a bit before she turned to go upstairs.

In the dorm, Wu Xuehan was still up.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head to look.

Seeing Tang Li come in, Wu Xuehan immediately got out of bed, picked up the exquisite gift box from the desk, and handed it to Tang Li, who looked up and smiled, "Staying up so late just to give me a gift?"

"It’s not from me, an aunt came to the school looking for you this afternoon." Wu Xuehan explained, "She went to Pu Garden first, classmates told her you have moved here, so she came. I was about to call you, but she said no need, left the thing, and shortly left."

Tang Li looked at the gift box but couldn’t figure out the context.

As for the aunt mentioned by Wu Xuehan—

She didn’t remember having any female relatives in the Capital who would come to visit her at school.

Just as she put down her backpack, Wu Xuehan added, "That aunt said this is something her son brought back from a business trip in Italy."

Tang Li paused in her unwrapping.

"She specifically asked me to be careful since it’s made of ceramic."

After Wu Xuehan finished speaking, noticing that Tang Li had put the gift box back on the desk, she curiously asked, "Why aren’t you opening it?"

"If you want to open it, go ahead," Tang Li replied.

Then she went to switch her shoes by the door.

By the time Tang Li came back, Wu Xuehan had already opened the gift box, gasped in astonishment, and urged Tang Li, "Ah Li, come quick and see, it’s Triangel! It’s the ’Fate Angel’ from ’Triumph in the Skies,’ a handmade Italian porcelain doll."

Tang Li asked her, "Do you like it?"

Wu Xuehan nodded vigorously, her face full of envy, "I wanted to buy one when I watched the series, but they’re too expensive, even the cheapest costs seven to eight hundred each."

"Then I’ll give it to you."

"...You’re giving it to me?"

Wu Xuehan thought she had misheard, "Last time you went home, you gave me a scarf and perfume, I later checked their prices online, they were very expensive, I was planning to give them back to you."

"No need to give them back to me." Tang Li sat on the edge of the bed, "If you return them, I’ll just leave them lying around."

Wu Xuehan: "You don’t like them?"

Tang Li hummed affirmatively.

"You really don’t want this ’Fate Angel’?" Wu Xuehan held up the porcelain doll from the gift box, the doll wearing a colorful European court dress and a hat with three pointed tips, exuding a strong Italian flair, "Many girls like Triangel, how can you not like it."
