Only Song Baiyan can ask such rhetorical questions so naturally.
However, Tang Li, having just lost the verbal spar, felt a bit rebellious: "But I have other plans for tonight."
"Going out to dinner with the crew?"
Tang Li didn't deny it and received a word of caution in return: "Then have fun and send a message when you get home."
Even though she had the upper hand this time, Tang Li didn't feel particularly happy and broke down first: "Aren't you going to ask who I'm going out with?"
Song Baiyan's measured voice came through the receiver: "You're not a child anymore; you should have your own social circle. Adults meddling too much will inevitably lead to resentment later."
Tang Li felt her ears heat up and retorted: "You didn't even ask, so how do you know you'll be resented?"
"At your age, not wanting to be controlled is completely normal."
What a beautifully put statement.
Yet Tang Li knew that it was merely something to deceive children.
