Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 303: I Know What I Want

"Did you tell him that I would pay a visit tomorrow morning?"

"Yes," nodded Ji Ming.

As the conversation concluded, his gaze returned to Song Baiyan.

Song Baiyan had gone out this evening and hadn’t specifically instructed Ji Ming, so he didn’t know whom Minister Song went to see. Now looking at Song Baiyan’s face, he voiced his own guess: "Is Miss Tang also in Diannan?"

Hearing this, Song Baiyan glanced sideways at him.

"I guessed it myself," Ji Ming explained on the side.

Song Baiyan chuckled, reaching down to unzip his camouflage jacket: "Not confined to the army, your reconnaissance skills haven’t fallen behind."

Ji Ming replied, "It’s Minister Song who made it too obvious."

"..." Song Baiyan paused in his action, and then heard Ji Ming say: "Suddenly I remember a saying, love is one’s own military chaos. Once someone encounters love, no matter their age, they tend to fall into an emotional vortex." Minister Song seems to be in a state like that.

Only—

He didn’t utter the second half of his sentence.

After Ji Ming left, Song Baiyan didn’t continue to undress. Thinking over Ji Ming’s words, thinking of Tang Li turning her head back across the street, her gentle smile entered his eyes and was etched deep into his mind.

All emotions ultimately transformed into a silent sigh.

The following day, Tang Li went to the shooting range for training and didn’t see Song Baiyan again.

After lunch, she passed by the administration building and couldn’t help but look over, only to see Song Baiyan’s comrade coming downstairs.

The man was taken aback to see Tang Li, then called out to her.

"Are you here to see Minister Song?" Cao Liang asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Li instinctively put her hands behind her back, attempting to mask her discomfort. Before she could speak, the man added, "He’s busy with important matters right now. I reckon that after visiting our former leader this morning, he’ll have to rush back to the Capital this afternoon."

As he spoke, Cao Liang’s gaze with a hint of amusement fell upon the young woman: "He didn’t tell you?"

"I knew since yesterday," Tang Li specifically clarified: "I just came from the cafeteria and happened to pass by here."

So—

It wasn’t a special trip to see someone.

Her implied meaning, Cao Liang understood.

Nonetheless, he still looked at Tang Li with a smile: "Right now, he’s probably still at the old commander’s house. If you need to find him, you can call. You know his number, right? If not, I can give it to you now."

Tang Li nodded: "I know it."

What was clearly just a casual conversation made her cheeks grow hotter and hotter.

Just when she was about to say goodbye and head to the shooting range, Cao Liang said, "Minister Song this time, aside from visiting me, mainly came to pay tribute to our former comrade, yesterday being his death anniversary."

Hearing this, Tang Li’s gaze shifted to Cao Liang. freёnovelkiss-com

Cao Liang continued, "It’s been many years now. Back then, Minister Song hadn’t yet gone into politics. Leaving his family background aside, he was no different from us, just a special forces soldier fighting drug traffickers on the border. During a mission, Minister Song was shot and fell into the river, and our other comrade was sacrificed. In the army, those two had the best relationship."

"Is his comrade buried here?" asked Tang Li.

"It’s in the back mountains."

As Cao Liang spoke, he saw her expression remained unchanged, apparently not recalling anything, so he did not elaborate further: "Alright then, I need to get to the cafeteria for lunch. If you need anything, you can find me, my surname is Cao."

Tang Li watched Cao Liang leave, then headed for the back mountains.

As she tread on the rugged mountain road, confusion arose in her heart. She didn’t understand why she was here—perhaps, simply because Song Baiyan had been as well.
