Tang Li left the private room after that.
It was only around twenty meters from the private room to the lift. Her walking speed was neither fast nor slow. She was whispering something in her heart. 'One, two, three!'
She heard footsteps behind her when she finished counting in her heart.
"Miss Li!"
Tang Li turned around.
It was Ji Ming.
Ji Ming still appeared respectful in front of her. "Miss Li, please wait for a moment. Mr. Song asked me to give you a ride home."
Tang Li did not ask why this time around.
An employee from the club came to them when they reached the lift.
The employee addresses him as 'Mr. Ji'. Then, he passed him a paper bag.
There was a female coat in the paper bag.
Ji Ming handed the coat to her but Tang Li did not take it.
She took a look at the blue and grey cardigan before looking up at Ji Ming. "Did Mr. Song send this cardigan to me?"
"The night is cold and it's raining outside. He's afraid that you might catch a cold."
Tang Li smiled slightly when she heard that.
She accepted the cardigan.
She spoke again before the door of the lift closed in front of her. "I like the cardigan very much."
Ji Ming peeked at her without saying anything else.
Tang Li remained quiet too.
Tang Li did not say much with Ji Ming all the way home.
Based on her encounter with Ji Ming in her former life, she knew that he was not the talkative type.
Ji Ming drove a Lexus car.
The car was rather large and Tang Li sat at the back. Her attention was soon captured by a black suit beside her.
Naturally, she knew whose suit was that.
There was a golden cigarette box with flowers carved on it next to the suit.
It might have fallen out of the suit.
She soon remembered how she had met Song Boyan for the first time at the balcony outside the study.
She also thought about the incident when Ji Ming came after her just now and offered to give her a ride home.
Tang Li felt that her sixth sense was right. Minister Song seemed to have quite a high tolerance for her. She was just unsure why he treated her like that. Was it because of how she had climbed over the balcony just now? Did he enjoy that sight very much? It seemed quite improbable.
In her former life, she did not see Song Boyan at the birthday party.
She also did not know that her family had invited that kind of prestigious guest.
It seemed that Song Boyan had already left when she came downstairs.
Based on what she knew, the Li family was not that close to the Song family.
Song Boyan had come to wish Old Lady Liu for her birthday and it was quite a favor from his side given the power and influence he held now.
Even Li Wenyan needed to be extremely polite to him.
The car stopped in front of Li Manor.
She was wearing that cardigan as she got down from the car and went to the driver's side of the car. She lowered her body and said, "Send my thanks to Mr. Song." She walked to the door. Suddenly, she remembered something else. She turned and spoke to Ji Ming. "And, my surname is not Li but Tang."
It was well past twelve o'clock at midnight when Ji Ming returned to the club.
Song Boyan put down the teacup in his hand when he that Ji Ming was back. "Did you send her home safely?"
"Yes." Ji Ming nodded.
In fact, Ji Ming was doubtful.
It started when Song Boyan had asked him to send an umbrella to Tang Li for him.
He had been working for Song Boyan for six years now. It was the first time he saw Mr. Song caring for another person whom he had never met before.
Moreover, it was a little girl.
But, he had no right to give his opinion.
Song Boyan got into the car. There was a lingering sweet scent in the car. He had smelled that when he stood in front of Tang Li in the private room just now.
Suddenly, his throat felt itchy.
He put his hand into the pocket of the suit to look for the cigarette box but it was empty.
