Tang Li only picked up the video call after reaching a secluded corner.
The little guy was wearing a school uniform, still as sassy as ever. As soon as the video connected, he raised an eyebrow. Tang Li noticed the scene behind him: "Are you getting ready for recess exercises?"
Song Jingtian didn’t deny it.
He had deliberately slowed his pace to fall behind, then called Tang Li.
As the class descended the stairs, he ducked into the nearby restroom.
Song Jingtian chose a stall to hide in, locked the door, and continued chatting with Tang Li: "If I don’t reach out, are you going to forget about ?"
Tang Li could tell the little guy was upset that she hadn’t checked in with him after landing yesterday.
"I was afraid you were asleep."
That explanation might fool a three-year-old.
Song Jingtian grumbled and then asked, "How’s your relative doing?"
"Pretty good," Tang Li replied. "He should be out of the hospital in a few days."
"So, when do you plan to co back?"
The little guy got straight to the point.
"It might still be a while."
"How long is ’a while’?"
Tang Li couldn’t give a specific tiline, so she said, "Once he’s almost fully recovered, I’ll co back."
Song Jingtian wasn’t satisfied with her vague answer: "What if he never fully recovers?"
"If he doesn’t, then I guess I’ll just hang around."
Such a lazy answer earned her a glare from the little guy.
Tang Li also sensed sothing was off: "Song Jingtian, why aren’t you outside for exercises?"
Song Jingtian: "..."
"Did you skip recess exercises?" Tang Li faintly heard the music for the exercise routine.
"I had a stomachache."
The little guy argued, then pressed the flush button: "Listen."
Tang Li: "Did you ss up your pants?"
Song Jingtian: "......"
If he stood while using the toilet, his pants must have gotten dirty.
Tang Li’s logic was solid. The little guy wanted to argue back but couldn’t find the right words, so he changed the subject: "Being in Siam is nice, maybe the Tan Palace will soon welco a new lady of the house."
The little guy clearly had more to say.
"What do you an?" Tang Li asked him.
"Just what I said."
Song Jingtian was trying to sound mysterious, afraid Tang Li wouldn’t bite, so he gave her more information: "After you left yesterday, a woman ca to the Tan Palace and spent nearly two hours in the upstairs study with my brother. He even invited her to lunch. You’ve t her before, at ng Shu’s wedding."
Tang Li couldn’t believe Song Baiyan would cheat.
Even if he would, it wouldn’t have been yesterday.
The little guy was full of nonsense, clearly trying to stir up trouble.
Tang Li replied with an "Oh," and prepared to end the call: "I’m out of WIFI, I’ll hang up first."
Seeing Tang Li wasn’t joking, Song Jingtian quickly added: "Actually, it’s ng Shu’s sister-in-law, the daughter of the Jian family."
ng Shu’s sister-in-law was Kang Yunxi’s stepsister.
Tang Li had an impression of Miss Jian.
Since she was over thirty and unmarried, she was a focal point for matchmaking at ng Shu’s wedding.
Plus, she was also a doctor.
"The biggest fear in a long-distance relationship is being caught off guard."
The little guy continued: "I heard Miss Jian got promoted to associate senior at a young age and is a key talent grood by the First Hospital abroad. My brother really admires her."
Tang Li: "You seem to know a lot about her, did you do so digging?"
Song Jingtian: "..."
Before he could refute, footsteps sounded from outside.
It was obviously the duty teacher coming to catch those skipping recess exercises.
"I’ll talk to you later."
Song Jingtian ended the video call, unlocked the stall door, and ran out quickly.
Tang Li’s mind pictured Miss Jian, who seed like a reserved person. If Song Baiyan was eting her, it was likely about dical reform laws.
The dical reform law needed constant revision and improvent, and participation from dical staff was essential.
Because Li Ruan was going to an appraisal institution, Tang Li was picked up at the Li Residence by another driver.
While waiting for the car, Yuan Qin suddenly remarked: "Many people who co to Chiang Mai Prefecture for tourism often visit Shuanglong Temple."
Tang Li turned to look at him: "Are you looking for a romance blessing?"
Yuan Qin: "..."
It wasn’t that he wanted to.
It was just that, before the trip, the master had instructed.
— Since you’re in Chiang Mai Prefecture, take Madam out to see more.
"Phra Singh Temple is also nice." Noticing Tang Li wasn’t keen on Shuanglong Temple, Yuan Qin added: "It’s the largest temple in Chiang Mai Prefecture, and there’s an ancient city nearby."
"Or go to Chedi Long Temple."
Last night, Yuan Qin had done his howork: "But there are many taboos at Chedi Long Temple, especially regarding attire, and you can’t wear shoes inside either."
Tang Li wasn’t the type of boss who’s strict with employees. Seeing Yuan Qin ntion three temples, she decided to let him go: "If you want to go, just go. I won’t tell His Excellency about your negligence this ti."
Yuan Qin: ....
He had to clarify: "I thought it might be worth you checking out."
Tang Li didn’t really want to visit those places.
Under her umbrella, she mused: "No matter how handso the young monks in the temples are, they can’t compare to His Excellency."
Yuan Qin: "..."
Tang Li rembered sothing about that child and couldn’t help but ask Yuan Qin: "I heard Isa has a mistress from S country by his side, do you know about that?"
"The Anti-drug Bureau has an intelligence departnt, but so information is not publicly shared."
However—
Yuan Qin continued: "From what I understand, Isa has been hiding so well in recent years that even the Anti-drug Bureau’s informants can’t reach him. As for the mistress, Isa isn’t lacking won, even if the intelligence departnt has information, it may not be complete."
