Song Baiyan did not respond.
Tang Li naturally had no idea.
If she remembered that on the night of the Lai family's birthday banquet, outside Lai Wenyan's study, she wouldn't have been so guarded, and that little face of hers, in addition to surprise, showed no sign of familiar recognition upon seeing an old acquaintance.
When he had Ji Ming deliver an umbrella to her, and she followed Ji Ming to the clubhouse, it wasn't because she recognized him, but simply because she wanted to "curry favor" with him.
Seeing the red string on his wrist, all she thought about was that she too once had one.
Cao Liang could guess the answer from Song Baiyan's demeanor: "She didn't recognize you, so why didn't you tell her?"
"After all, it was just an act of kindness. Since she can't remember, there's no need to intentionally remind her. Sometimes, it's not about expecting a reward that makes things difficult."
