Chapter 607: Chapter 607: This Feeling Is Like Nothing Before
After retrieving the pillow, Tang Li began to dawdle.
Song Baiyan didn’t indulge her any longer.
In less than five minutes, Tang Li was chased out.
Clutching the pillow, she returned from the balcony to her own room. After taking a few steps, she looked back to see Song Baiyan still standing beside the glass door watching her leave.
This time, she didn’t entertain any crooked thoughts.
Due to his wife’s words, the next morning, Wong Yangming made a reference to Song Baiyan in conversation.
Learning that Gao Wenlan had encountered him and Tang Li in the kitchen, Song Baiyan appeared unruffled, seemingly having anticipated such an accident might occur.
In fact, upon further thought, if Song Baiyan truly wished to guard this relationship and not attract attention, he would not have stayed overnight at the Wong Family’s home, nor would he have made time to come for a meal. Wong Yangming even felt that aside from his own invitation, Tang Li was another reason for Song Baiyan’s visit to the Wong home the previous night.
"Your martial aunt is determined to have someone as her daughter," sighed Wong Yangming. "She doesn’t care whether they agree or not. I say one word to her, and she comes back at me with ten."
At this point, Wong Yangming looked towards Song Baiyan, "With her grandfather’s status, I’m afraid it could affect you."
Song Baiyan listened without expressing any agreement or disagreement.
The status of Tang Shen as a drug lord is like a bomb buried deep underground.
As long as Tang Li is still of Tang Family blood, she cannot erase her kinship with Tang Shen.
The Lai Family People, too, are all aware of this relationship.
Because it involves their own interests, the Lai Family has not disclosed it.
Having transitioned from military to politics and having reached his current position in less than ten years, Song Baiyan’s rise wasn’t due to sheer luck. Wong Yangming, knowing he was aware of the stakes, didn’t elaborate further, but when referencing Tang Li, his assessment was impartial: "She’s indeed quite admirable, whether it be in terms of appearance or temperament, and she lacks the impetuosity common among the youth nowadays."
Hearing this, Song Baiyan smiled slightly, "Indeed, that’s true."
"Your martial aunt’s temper isn’t the best, but she is still fated with her. As for acknowledging a godchild, as long as the person herself does not object, I have no Opinion."
Just as Gao Wenlan said, having too many concerns can sometimes mar the beauty of things.
Wong Yangming, having taught at the military academy for over twenty years, is no stranger to turbulent times: "After all, your martial aunt and I are just scholars, and if her identity is revealed, it wouldn’t have much of an impact on us."
"It’s you who needs to be prepared in this regard." Although he knew Song Baiyan wasn’t one to act without considering the consequences, Wong Yangming still reminded him, "If you plan to be with her, there are things you must consider, not just for your career. She is still young, and her thought processes will inevitably not be as thorough as yours. Being set on something doesn’t guarantee it will last a lifetime, and if it doesn’t work out, in my opinion, your loss would be much greater than hers."
Wong Yangming said this to express his concerns.
He wasn’t questioning Tang Li’s character.
In this world, the most unpredictable thing is matters of the heart.
Song Baiyan, now successful and well-known, is likely to be admired by young girls, but once they are truly together, that admiration may erode amidst the increasingly mundane life.
And then, it would be the exhaustion of being mired in a quagmire.
Wong Yangming’s concerns echoed Xiao Minglan’s initial doubts, but Song Baiyan fully understood and his deep-set eyes and brows relaxed slightly, his expression grew gentler: "She’s different from other girls out there, I am certain of this."
Afterward, Song Baiyan added, "Just watching her makes one subconsciously relax; it’s a feeling I’ve never had before."
