Chapter 46: The Red String She Had Given Him Many Years Ago

Tang Li replied that she did although she was doubtful.

Then, she saw him stretching his hand out.

Tang Li subconsciously wanted to dodge his touch when the towel touched her forehead. Song Boyan’s deep voice came to her from over her head. “The dye they used is still considered a type of chemical substance. The wound has not healed yet. You need to be more careful.”

The man’s scent was still on the towel.

Tang Li was slightly stunned. She could not help but look up at the man in front of her.

She remembered that rainy night and the private room that was filled with the scent of the tea. Song Boyan was standing in front of her just like now.

The only things that were different were her feelings.

There was still a trace of unspeakable emotion in her other than her anxiety.

It seemed to be shyness but not at all. It made her helpless.

She began to feel uncomfortable now. She voiced out first. “Let me do it myself.”


Her voice was low and it was filled with discomfort.

Song Boyan handed her the towel when he heard that.

Tang Li’s fingers touched the man’s palm by accident when she took the towel from him. It was different from her slightly cold fingertips. Song Boyan’s strong palm seemed to be warmer after his training.

Maybe men’s body temperature was generally higher than women’s.

Tang Li was having her own thoughts.

All of a sudden, she noticed a red string around Song Boyan’s right wrist.

To be more specific, it was a bracelet made up of multiple red strings.

The color of the bracelet was rather dark. He might have worn it for a long time now.

That red string did not seem at all incongruent against his tanned skin. It did not appear feminine on him but it became rather a good match with his watch around his left wrist. It showed his gentleness and elegance.

Song Boyan could not help but look at her again when he found her staring at him for too long.

Tang Li still did not dare to look right back at him even though he seemed quite gentle and warm to her.

It might be because of the difference in their age.

She could not treat him like how she would treat those who were of the same age as her.

Another reason might be because of his high power and prestige.

Tang Li shielded herself from being stared by Song Boyan with the towel as she wiped her forehead. Then, she voiced out rather casually to explain to him about her rudeness just now. “I owned a bracelet like that before.”

“Did you lose it then?”

Tang Li did not know how to respond to that. She never expected that Song Boyan would chat with her about that.

As he was a person who enjoyed high power in society, he should be interested in nationwide affairs.

Tang Li replied to his question honestly, “I gave it to someone else many years ago.”

It was a bracelet that her mother had tied for her on the day she was born.

Red bracelets signified a lifetime of peace in Dian Nan.

She no longer remembered how the bracelet looked like after so many years.

Ji Ming was waiting by the door all the time.

At that moment, Ji Ming came to them.

He went over to Song Boyan and said to him respectfully, “Minister Li and Attorney General Xia are here.”


It was now too late to avoid them.

She soon met with Li Wenyan and Xia Zhengguo the minute she turned around.

Li Wenyan took the initiative first. Although he was a minister and he should really be staying away from Song Boyan, he still felt that he should maintain a friendly relationship with Song Boyan. It was because there would be a general election in the following year.

Moreover, Song Boyan was somehow related to the Fang family.

In fact, Song Boyan rarely left his house for anything other than business calls. He disliked the notion of engaging in social activities.

That was why he puzzled a lot of people.

Furthermore, Song Boyan had just turned thirty years old.

He was young yet he got to hold such an important and high position. One could easily imagine how good a schemer he was.

Attorney General Xia’s secretary informed them just now that he saw Song Boyan’s bodyguard in the gym. Both Li Wenyan and Xia Zhengguo soon put down their cups and rushed to the gym the minute they heard that.

If he could be friendly with Song Boyan, it would be beneficial for Li Wenyan and the Li family given how things were now.
