Ji Ming still remembered how that girl had insisted on meeting his boss last night when she knew that his boss was the one who gave her that umbrella.
She even appeared excited when he was sending her home.
Now, she was behaving quite differently.
Tang Li wanted to excuse herself when she had received no answer from either Ji Ming or Song Boyan. However, Song Boyan made his decision right at that moment. "It's faster and better if we give you a ride back since it's not that far away. I don't want you to take unnecessary actions."
Tang Li was speechless.
Tang Li said nothing on the way back. She just held onto the medicine in her hands.
Song Boyan broke the silence first. "Are you used to attending college here in the capital now?"
Tang Li slightly tighten her grasp on the plastic bag when she heard that.
Now, Song Boyan realized that Tang Li was slightly afraid of him. He smiled slightly. "You climbed over the balcony and ruined the birthday party last night. You have even forced Ji Ming to bring you to me. I thought that you were really a daring girl."
His voice sounded gentle and warm. He did not sound like he was accusing her but Tang Li did not relax at all.
She had only a single thought in her heart.
Whatever she had done was merely childish acts to him.
She was just like a childish girl in front of Song Boyan whether she was twenty-six years old or nineteen years old. He did not have to plot against her and she would already act embarrassingly in many ways in front of him.
"Are you planning on holding your hand like that all the way back?" Song Boyan spoke again and it was filled with a deep concern for her. It made her much more nervous.
Some thoughts changed just in the blink of an eye.
It was different from why she had gotten into his car in the first place.
She then arranged her thoughts before explaining. "If I tended to my wound now, it might dirty your car."
Song Boyan did not seem to care about that.
After a few seconds, a beautiful and slender hand appeared in front of her. He took the medicine from her. Then, he spoke to her with his deep and low voice. "You need to tend to the wound as soon as possible. Otherwise, it might be infected."
It was too late for Tang Li to grab the medicine back.
"Give me your hand." He ordered.
It was the kind of order that was filled with a deep concern for her. At the same time, it was also the kind of order that she wanted to dodge.
The man had now soaked the cotton ball with alcohol. Tang Li still did not move.
Song Boyan appeared gentler now. "Do you want me to grab your hand?"
"No." Tang Li denied that.
She could not find a better reason except that.
Song Boyan did not make it too awkward for her when he saw her all guilty and helpless. It seemed as if she was caught red-handed when she was trying to do something wrong. He just said simply, "If that's the case, just give me your hand."
Tang Li could not help but yield to his wishes.
He was holding her arm and her thin wrist with his big and warm hand.
A small tingling sensation engulfed her when her wound was rubbed with the alcohol.
Tang Li could not help but grab at the leather chair with her right hand.
"Is it painful?" Song Boyan asked her with a deep voice.
Ji Ming could not help but steal a glance at them from the rearview mirror.
It was because that was the first time his boss treated somebody in such a friendly and nice way.
It was nothing like his usual self who was polite and nice. But, he was treating her nicely in a sincere way without any sign of condescension. Moreover, he had never seen his boss sending an umbrella to a woman or tending to her wound in all the years he was working for him.
Ji Ming then tilted his head and took a look at Tang Li who remained silent.
She was wearing a washed-out shirt and her forehead was bandaged too. The sunlight crept into the car from the slit between the car window. It shone on her white skin and her face seemed almost transparent from the side. Her neckline seemed rather beautiful and elegant from her slightly exposed collar.
She was indeed a charming woman.
Ji Ming could guess that she was indeed the young lady of the Li family but her origin might be complicated.
On top of that, his boss had even sided with Miss Tang during the birthday party last night. He was in charge of Mr. Song's safety and daily routines. However, he had never met that girl.
So...
He could only assume that Miss Tang had already met Mr. Song long before that.
