Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 364: The Finance Minister and Miss Tang Are Dating

Tang Li came out of the kitchen to find a servant leaving and Song Baiyan’s hand now held a hairdryer: "Let’s dry your hair first."

Tang Li sat down cooperatively.

Large hands moved through her short hair, tousling it repeatedly.

The warm air brushed across her face and neck, making Tang Li close her eyes involuntarily.

She remembered the dream from last night; it was this feeling, being cared for wholeheartedly, that always grounded her.

Uncle Tan led Ah Xi, who had finished her walk, back.

As he approached the main building’s entrance, he saw the scene in the dining room: the girl sat in the chair while the master of the house used a hairdryer to blow dry her hair for her.

It was hard to imagine such a scene—

A man of high rank, apart from his own mother and daughter, doing such a thing for a girl who was not a relative.

After all, the Finance Minister was never known for being particularly tender-hearted.

With her hair done, Tang Li continued with breakfast; her uncombed short hair was fluffy, which made it look fresher than long hair and also revealed her beautiful neckline. Song Baiyan sat beside her, watching her as if he was watching a little hamster sneakily eating a sandwich.

Suddenly, the little hamster looked up.

"Will you come back today after your meeting is over?"

Song Baiyan didn’t hide it from her; he didn’t know how many hours the meeting would take. He had come back last night just to fetch some things. Before the inauguration ceremony, his time at Yunqi Villa was increasingly scarce.

There is a state banquet on Sunday evening.

Hosting a state banquet before the new President takes office is a tradition of S country for many years.

A banquet like this is more of a farewell dinner for the outgoing President, who will also deliver a speech during the event. If the new President has a good relationship with their predecessor, they also attend.

If Song Baiyan isn’t coming back, then there’s no reason for Tang Li to stay here.

At noon, a sedan stopped at the entrance of Huafu No.1.

Tang Li glanced at Ji Ming in front of her and quickly planted a kiss on Song Baiyan’s cheek, then she opened the door and got out, her face red as she said goodbye: "I’ll head in first, you two be safe on the road."

After speaking, she dragged her suitcase into the complex.

Through the lowered car window, Song Baiyan watched her walk down the cobblestone path to the apartment building.

After a while, Ji Ming looked into the rearview mirror: "Finance Minister, shall we drive now?"

"Let’s go," Song Baiyan withdrew his gaze.

A moment later, Ji Ming suddenly asked, "Is the Finance Minister dating Miss Tang?"

Before Song Baiyan could respond, Ji Ming chuckled to himself: "I accidentally saw Miss Tang kiss the Finance Minister just now. Usually, only couples in love do that."

The words had barely left his mouth when he got a light but firm bump on the back of his head.

Ji Ming: "..."

"Focus on driving," Song Baiyan finished speaking and leaned back in his seat, still feeling the soft touch on his cheek, like cotton candy. Recalling the image of the girl walking away with her backpack and dragging her suitcase, he couldn’t help but smile wryly. At this stage of his life, he was in fact well past the age of being easily smitten.

But now, it seemed like he was living in reverse.

Song Baiyan picked up a file from aside, flipping it open to look. That was a list, given to him by the President who was about to step down a few days ago, and also the reason for his return to Yunqi Villa.

The list detailed the names and information of the personnel the President suggested he retain.

Song Baiyan had looked through it once before.

Looking at it now, he circled Han Jifeng’s name.

In the afternoon, Han Jifeng received a call from the President, informing him he would be retained, but he was not as excited as the others.

Because he remembered a dream he had.

In the dream, Song Baiyan faced an assassination two years later—a plot that was suppressed and remained unknown to the public. Many years later, he would come across the dossier and learn of the incident.

It was that assassination attempt that led to the gradual decline of Song Baiyan’s health.
