Protection by adults.
To put it bluntly, it’s about letting children live under their ’watchful eyes’.
Many children in their rebellious phase most resist the various protections from adults, believing that their actions and thoughts are thus constrained and they lose their own private space.
However, Tang Li is not truly twenty years old.
With the experience of her past life, she understands the importance of such ’protection’ very well.
Therefore, she wouldn’t resent it as Mr. Song might think.
Overhead, Mr. Song’s left hand is large, with the thumb and spread muscles covering her hairline. The warm, not exactly delicate touch of the fingertips instead gives her a sense of security.
At this mont, Tang Li followed the instinct of her body.
She slightly turned her head, gently rubbing the palm of Mr. Song’s hand.
Mr. Song looked at the small head moving under his palm, sensing Tang Li’s attachnt and was amused by her cat-like act of affection: "Does this an agreent or is it shaking in protest?"
Tang Li raised her head, her lovely doe eyes wide open: "Guess."
The next second, the big hand lightly patted her head.
"No denial ans agreent." An indulgent tone.
Not far away by the roadside, in the driver’s seat of a black Cadillac, watching the scene of the tall man stroking the girl’s head in front, Han Jifeng eventually chose not to press the horn on the steering wheel.
The streetlights were dim, but they couldn’t hide Tang Li’s expression at this mont.
It was a mix of dependency and subtle joy.
He had landed by plane that evening.
At dinner, Qin Yueru ntioned that "The Brightest Star" had aired.
Qin Yueru was not much into the internet, but because the drama starred Tang Li, she occasionally paid attention and talked about it casually during als.
After all, she had once liked the girl who fancied her son.
Tang Li’s swift shift in affections left sowhat of a knot in Qin Yueru’s heart.
"Being a star isn’t that easy." Qin Yueru lanted at the dinner table: "At this age, she should be studying diligently at school. Back in our day, only families struggling for money would let their children act and sing, as those were not proper professions."
ntioning Tang Li inevitably brought up Lai Shengxia.
Lai Shengxia was involved in a trafficking case, making the national news.
If Qin Yueru had previously considered letting her son reconcile with Lai Shengxia, after learning about what Lai Shengxia did, despite it being sumr, she sat in an air-conditioned room and broke into a cold sweat.
She recalled how those months, Lai Shengxia frequently ca to see her, and her attitude had softened.
Despite her son’s instructions, she continued to contact Lai Shengxia privately.
Back then, she thought—
Instead of letting her son go on blind dates, why not choose Lai Shengxia? At least this daughter-in-law was known, her son liked her, and her family was very well-off.
In the end, the news on TV made her reconsider Lai Shengxia completely.
Thinking back now, she still felt lingering fear.
If her son had let Lai Shengxia beco the daughter-in-law of the Han Family, and now Lai Shengxia was in trouble, it would surely ruin his future.
Having a daughter-in-law involved in trafficking, she wouldn’t even dare step outside.
Fearing her son still had feelings for Lai Shengxia, while cleaning up the dishes, Qin Yueru once again brought up her friend’s niece, hoping to arrange a date for her son while he was in the Capital.
Then she heard her son say that he already had soone he intended to marry.
"When the right ti cos, I will bring her back."
After saying this, Han Jifeng went into the study.
When he saw the V Blog trending search, the online broadcast of "The Brightest Star" had surpassed 300 million views and wasn’t like Qin Yueru said, ’not watched by anyone’. Tang Li’s na was even in fifth place on the trending list.
Recently, he had been in Yuzhou preparing for the councilman elections.
The last ti he spoke to Tang Li, it didn’t end well.
Tang Li’s resolute look at the ti still lingered in his mind.
——She was determined to marry Song Baiyan.
Confirming this, the night he arrived in Yuzhou, he smoked most of the night.
Whether he minded that his dream wife was embracing another, or he was concerned about Tang Li as a person, he could no longer distinguish clearly.
When he regained his senses, he found himself driving near the set where Tang Li was filming.
This ti, he didn’t seek Tang Li actively.
He simply sat silently in the car, recalling various past mories.
He asked his childhood friend abroad to register a V Blog account and expose the truth about Lai Wenyan killing Tang Shen back then, fulfilling a promise to Tang Li.
Doing so, it was actually hard to hide from Song Baiyan.
As a Head of State, Song Baiyan held enormous power.
If he really wanted to find out who was targeting Lai Wenyan, he only needed to call the network security surveillance departnt, the process might be troubleso, but it was only a matter of ti before they traced the IP address back to him.
But so far, the authorities hadn’t co for him.
This could only an Song Baiyan hadn’t investigated the informant.
If not investigating, it’s either because of protection or intending to pursue the original cause of the incident.
As it stands now, it’s clearly the latter.
Tang Li hates Lai Wenyan.
Thus, she would never ask Mr. Song for any favor for this father.
If Mr. Song truly investigates this old case, under this impartial justice, how much of it is personal?
No more questions, when he saw Mr. Song by the roadside, it beca irrelevant.
That version of Tang Li was one Han Jifeng had never seen.
Under Mr. Song’s palm, she suddenly seed carefree.
——Just like a child.
This taphor erged in his mind and was not derogatory.
When Tang Li crossed the zebra crossing into the filming community, Mr. Song stood next to the red traffic light, and he also withdrew his gaze, then looked toward the parked Cadillac.
Coming from the military, his senses were sharper than the average person.
Han Jifeng didn’t intend to hide his tracks.
With Mr. Song appearing here, countless eyes were surely watching the area, hence, before waiting for the guards to approach, he first got out of the car.
Tang Li returned to the set, around nine o’clock.
Unlike the prior night’s defusing of heat, from this afternoon, the hashtag #TheBrightestStar# steadily held onto a high position on the trending list, never dropping out of the top ten.
As soon as Tang Li entered the dressing room, Yu Sui approached her with a tablet: "There are rumors on Douban that you hijacked Yang Ning’s Del handbag endorsent!"
"Yang Ning’s hardcore fans have opened 108 posts on Douban against you, the most popular one already reaching 2,800 replies. They issued a challenge to battle you at the pinnacle of Douban!"
Tang Li: "...Is it that serious?"
"Why wouldn’t it be!" Yu Sui buried her head, sliding the tablet screen with her index finger, while saying: "You don’t even know, during the ti you were out, the super chat plaza was slaughtered by Yang Ning’s crazy fans! If it weren’t for our side having Mr. Xu Yuan participate, we would have faced complete defeat!"
When the tablet was handed to her, the screen showed Gao Wenlan’s V Blog reply to Yang Ning’s fans—
[Xu Yuan replied @AndNingningHoldingHandsAtKing’sCanyon: "Your main star is so popular, even predatory flowers aren’t as popular as she is. Of all the actresses I’ve t, her sense of fashion is god-given. [Pig’s Head] Not convinced? If you’re not convinced, go post on Douban, ask the trolls there whether your main star is outdated or Miss Tang Li is beautiful."]
"..."
Sotis, hatred is cultivated that easily.
