Sheng Qi took a deep breath, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked at her. "Get serious!"
Bai Tang straightened her back, wiped the smile off her face, and said with mock solemnity, "I want to be a CEO and spoil you!"
Sheng Qi: "..."
Spoil him? He wanted to punch her!
Seeing Sheng Qi's icy expression, clearly on the verge of exploding with rage, Bai Tang smiled and said, "I'm answering seriously!"
The girl had a smile on her lips, sitting perfectly upright.
But the words she spoke made Sheng Qi's hands itch.
So damn punchable!
Letting out a heavy breath, Sheng Qi stared at her and asked, "The expulsion from school—what's the reason?"
"Because I want to be a CEO and spoil you!" Bai Tang grinned.
"Bai Tang!!!"
At his outburst, Bai Tang instantly put on a pitiful face, looking utterly aggrieved. "So sad, getting yelled at and scolded by a beauty..."
Her pitiful demeanor made it seem like he had committed some heinous crime.
Sheng Qi stared at her, his thin lips pressed tight, a strange glint flickering in his eyes. His anger subsided, and his voice softened involuntarily. "I—"
"Ah, a CEO like me is destined to be a henpecked husband for life, having to coax the beauty, give in to you, spoil you... Don't worry, even if you lose your temper, I'll indulge you and dote on you forever!"
Bai Tang gazed at Sheng Qi with deep affection, her eyes carrying that hint of a domineering CEO tolerating a little wife's unreasonable tantrums.
Sheng Qi's anger, which had just dissipated, surged to its peak, and a chilling aura radiated from him.
"Beauty, do you want to sit down? Should I get you some coffee? Or do you prefer tea?"
Bai Tang smiled sweetly at him, her soft and adorable demeanor tinged with a hint of sycophancy.
That look in the beauty's eyes was damn cold!
She seriously suspected he wanted to kill her with his glare.
Sheng Qi exhaled, realizing that prying the reason out of her was probably impossible.
But if she wouldn't tell him, he could find out on his own.
Sheng Qi shot her a cold glance, noticing her cheerful demeanor, seemingly unaffected by the expulsion.
He pressed his lips together and asked, "You asked for leave before, saying you wanted to study hard. Now that you're expelled, what do you plan to do next?"
"Become a CEO and spoil the beauty!" Bai Tang declared with an air of grand ambition.
Sheng Qi let out another breath, suppressing his temper, and said coolly, "Go back and hit the books. I'll handle the school situation. Get ready for the college entrance exam!"
Bai Tang was stunned, never expecting Sheng Qi to help her.
But she had left school with no intention of going back.
"Beauty, don't bother. I told you, I want to be a CEO!"
Bai Tang gave a roguish grin, speaking in a particularly goofy tone. "Don't you think the word 'CEO' sounds awesome? Doesn't it give off a vibe of ruling the world?"
Sheng Qi glared at her, about to speak, but Bai Tang cut him off again. "Besides, I'm dead last in the whole school. Even if I take the exam, what difference would it make? I won't get into college anyway. Why bother, right?"
Sheng Qi's brows furrowed deeply, his tone tinged with displeasure. The words he spoke next stunned Bai Tang. "I'll tutor you."
Bai Tang froze for a moment, then laughed. "Beauty, are you sure? I'm a total slacker. Aren't you afraid I'll drive you crazy?"
Sheng Qi didn't want to waste more words. "Come with me now."
"Where to? A date?" Bai Tang asked excitedly.
"Tutoring."
Bai Tang: "..."
Tsk, such a clueless man.
