The corner of Feng Zi's mouth twitched slightly, his expression awkward, and his gaze toward Bai Tang turned noticeably colder.
"Mr. Sheng, you jest!" Feng Zi said with a smile. "Since Miss Bai has school tomorrow, we can arrange another time!"
Sheng Qi ignored him, pulled Bai Tang's hand away, tugged her into the car, then walked around to the driver's seat, got in, and drove off directly.
Feng Zi stood there, and once the car had completely disappeared, the smile on his face vanished entirely, replaced by a gloomy, icy expression.
Sheng Qi... Bai Tang...
Heh heh...
Clenching his fists, Feng Zi let out a cold laugh, his eyes dangerous.
In the car, Bai Tang turned her head to look at Sheng Qi, whose expression was cold, a smile hidden in her eyes. "Beauty, you were absolutely stunning today!"
Bai Tang made a gesture like holding a bouquet, gazing at him with starry eyes. "From now on, I'm your biggest fan. I'll go crazy for you, wild for you, and bang my head against the wall for you!"
Sheng Qi: "..."
She really has gone mad!
"Beauty, since you came to rescue your Tangtang so handsomely today, as a thank-you, let me treat you to something to eat!" Bai Tang said with a grin.
"I've already eaten," Sheng Qi refused outright, even though he hadn't.
The girl smiled brightly, showing no displeasure at his refusal. "Then just keep me company while I eat!"
Sheng Qi glanced at her expressionlessly. "Didn't Feng Zi's dinner fill you up?"
"Looking at him killed my appetite," Bai Tang said, looking at him and calmly teasing. "Only a beauty like you in front of me counts as a feast for the eyes. I've been waiting for you!"
Sheng Qi snorted lightly and said nothing.
Bai Tang raised her hand, gently tugging at Sheng Qi's sleeve with her thumb and forefinger, flashing him a sweet smile. "Beauty, do you want to see a flower of the nation wither away from hunger?"
Sheng Qi recalled the first time he went to the villa, when Bai Tang had cleared an entire table of several dishes in one go.
She really did seem to eat a lot.
Catching a glimpse of her expectant eyes from the corner of his vision, Sheng Qi swallowed his refusal and asked coldly, "What do you want to eat?"
Bai Tang smiled and confessed, "Anything. As long as I'm with you, even eating chaff and swallowing vegetables feels like happiness!"
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together, silent.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant.
They sat down, and Sheng Qi handed the menu directly to her.
Bai Tang took it to order, unsure of what Sheng Qi liked, so she added a bit more.
Sheng Qi glanced at the dishes on the table and frowned. "Can you finish all this?"
Bai Tang laughed. "Isn't there you too?"
"I've already eaten!"
"Then keep me company!"
Bai Tang chuckled as she spoke, constantly piling food onto Sheng Qi's plate.
Sheng Qi furrowed his brow, but under Bai Tang's expectant gaze, he eventually picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Bai Tang smiled in satisfaction. It was worth leaving a five-minute gap in her stomach just to eat with him!
After a while, Sheng Qi finally stopped.
Watching the girl eat with such relish and satisfaction, her appetite excellent, he began to believe that she really had no appetite when seeing Feng Zi.
Otherwise, how could she eat so much?
"Why did he look for you?" Sheng Qi asked.
Bai Tang was startled, then realized who he meant, and smiled. "Beauty, are you jealous?"
Sheng Qi frowned. "Do you two know each other?"
Bai Tang inwardly noted Sheng Qi's sharp observational skills, but her expression remained calm.
"I don't know any lunatic!" Bai Tang said with a smile. "In my memory, only people like you, beauty, leave an impression."
