Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 114: Such a Confident Little Kid

To cover up her unease, Tang Li reached out and rubbed Song Jingtian’s hair.

The little guy glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

About half an hour later, the sedan stopped in front of the gate of Shangbu Headquarters.

Seeing the Sentinels with guns standing guard on both sides of the gate, Song Jingtian instinctively drew closer to Tang Li. He hadn’t forgotten that his elder brother just said he would give him away to someone else’s family. These people all had guns, and if his brother really sold him, he wouldn’t be able to run away when the time came.

One of the Sentinels noticed the sedan and had already jogged over.

When he stood still by the car, Song Baiyan rolled down the window and handed something to the Sentinel.

Afterward, the Sentinel saluted and let them pass.

"Maybe we should hurry to the train station," Song Jingtian suddenly spoke up.

Song Baiyan sensed his nervousness and turned the steering wheel at the front intersection: "You’re usually so talkative, but now you’re scared just seeing a Sentinel in camouflage?"

The little guy mumbled and hummed, unable to refute.

Tang Li’s gaze was drawn to the scenery outside the car window.

Inside the military compound, the roads were wide, lined with rows of fragrant camphor trees. Apart from dawn and dusk, even the afternoon sunlight was tranquil and serene.

Occasionally, one could catch a glimpse of a military officer in their standard uniform.

Next to the headquarters was the family quarters.

Tang Li turned her gaze back, and Song Baiyan had already parked the car in front of a European-style villa.

Surrounding it were several similar villas.

The old green brick buildings, far from looking dilapidated, exuded the charm of times long past. They resembled the mansions where some warlords lived in the 1920s.

As Song Baiyan got out of the car, a nanny wearing an apron came out of the villa.

Seeing Song Baiyan standing by the car, the nanny immediately came over with a radiant smile: "You’re here! The professor just went upstairs to the study, fretting about not finding a chess partner."

As she spoke, the nanny noticed two more people inside the car.

The rear window of the sedan was halfway down.

"This is your—" the nanny turned to ask Song Baiyan.

"These two younger relatives of mine snuck to Shangbu. I happened to have some free time this afternoon, so I am planning to take them to the train station and thought I’d drop by to see my teacher on the way."

Song Baiyan spoke, his gaze shifting towards the two tails inside the car.

Tang Li knew it was impolite to stay in the car, but Song Jingtian was clinging tightly to her, not getting out himself and not letting her out either.

With no other option, Tang Li could only nod to the nanny as a gesture of acknowledgment.

Learning that Song Baiyan was here to visit his teacher, Song Jingtian immediately urged, "Elder brother, you go see your teacher; Tang Li and I will wait for you in the car."

The nanny invited, "We have candies and chocolates at home. Come in and have a seat."

"I’ll just let my elder brother have them; I won’t eat them," Song Jingtian decisively declined.

Tang Li had to speak up: "I’ll stay here with Jingtian. You go inside."

The last half of the sentence was addressed to Song Baiyan.

Seeing this, the nanny no longer pressed them.

Once Song Baiyan and the nanny had entered the villa, Song Jingtian shifted his bottom to the side and began to grumble to Tang Li, "If I really went in, I might not be able to come back out."

"For a child like me, I’m quite popular with DINK families." The little guy sighed deeply, "Then they would hold me and weep, asking if I even want to go back to the Capital. Besides, it’s my elder brother’s teacher. If they really wanted to keep me, it wouldn’t be easy for my brother to say anything."

"You even know about DINK families?" Tang Li asked him.

Song Jingtian gave her a sidelong glance, as if to say, "What’s so strange about that?"

Having lived two lifetimes, Tang Li had never met such a self-confident kid before. She played along: "Then, you really do need to be cautious. In the future, you better not go out alone. Your organs would surely fetch a high price."
