Chapter 384: Chapter 384: If I Marry, I’ll Marry the Most Powerful Man

Song Baiyan’s left hand, adorned with a wristwatch, was gently rested on Tang Li’s body, her slender waist now held by him, the fleeting romantic allure bewildering countless eyes at the banquet hall.

Nearly all the guests thought Song Baiyan would ask her to get up, but to their surprise, Song Baiyan let the girl sit on his lap, and then he spoke, "Have you made your choice?"

This question was filled more with teasing than seriousness.

Tang Li tacitly acknowledged his question and glanced at Bai Chongming: "Your excellence, you are married. I’ve looked around; the other leaders seem to be mostly the same, so after careful consideration, I think you are the most suitable choice."

Instead of getting angry at her remark, Song Baiyan responded with a warm smile: "Do I not look like a married man to you?"

"Wikipedia shows that you’re unmarried."

Tang Li paused before adding, "But the most important point is, you’re about to become the President. If I marry, I will marry the most powerful man!"

Her volume wasn’t loud, but it was like a bolt out of the blue, catching the gathered guests completely off guard.

Many guests noticed that she had been drinking prior.

Whether it was drunken babble or a spur of the moment.

After this bold declaration, which ordinary man would dare to marry her?

Lai Wenyan couldn’t bear to watch Tang Li being so unbridled, so Ouyang Qian pushed him over. Before Tang Li could speak again, Lai seizes the moment: "Our child has been misbehaving, making a spectacle for everyone to see."

With that, he turned to Tang Li, "Drinking so much, singing and causing a scene here, it’s fortunate the leaders don’t hold it against you. Won’t you come home with me!"

However, Bai Chongming laughed, "Your girl has a good eye; among all the people at this table, indeed, only Minister Song is unmarried."

"At home, she is always causing trouble; now she’s even brought it to a state banquet." Lai Wenyan acted like a doting elder, "If I had known she would be this rowdy, I wouldn’t have brought her out tonight no matter what."

Lai Wenyan exchanged pleasantries with the other leaders before having Ouyang Qian take Tang Li away first.

Before leaving the main table, Tang Li heard Lai Wenyan apologizing to Song Baiyan, followed by Song Baiyan’s voice: "It’s fine. At her age, girls are naturally naive and carefree. Councilman Lai needn’t be too strict."

Bai Chongming also chimed in, "Since Minister Song doesn’t mind, Councilman Lai, you better not scold your girl once you’re home."

Even if Lai Wenyan had wanted to scold Tang Li, given Song Baiyan’s and Bai Chongming’s words, it wouldn’t be right to do so here.

As Tang Li passed by the music stage, she stopped.

At this moment, there was no music playing.

Ouyang Qian looked back to see Tang Li stepping onto the stage.

This time Tang Li did not sing, but under the watchful eyes of all guests, she looked towards the main table, the lighting like glittering stars reflected in her eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, her voice slowly emerged, "What I said earlier was not a joke."

Some guests chuckled.

People at the main table also looked over.

Lai Wenyan’s just eased expression stiffened again.

Tang Li raised her hand to the microphone, the spotlight highlighting her fluffy curled short hair and the delicate choker necklace making her ethereally attractive, and soon everyone realized that her gaze was fixed on Song Baiyan, then she continued, "In five years, if you are still unmarried, and so am I, let’s be together."

Someone whistled.

Realizing the inappropriateness of the occasion, the whistle abruptly ceased.

Song Baiyan, leaning back in his chair, his legs crossed in a relaxed posture, did not expressly accept or reject the girl’s five-year promise, but a joyful smile played upon his lips.
