Sheng Qi turned his head, his gaze coldly landing on her. The look in his eyes inexplicably made Chu Yi's heart tighten.
"You seem very happy."
At that faint remark, Chu Yi wanted to jump out of the car and run.
"Boss, I was wrong!" Chu Yi put on a flattering smile. "Boss, I didn't see anything just now."
"Give me your phone." Sheng Qi said expressionlessly.
Chu Yi: "..."
How did he see that?
Wasn't he just flirting with that girl the whole time?
Under Sheng Qi's icy stare, Chu Yi had no choice but to obediently hand his phone over to Sheng Qi.
"Drive!" Sheng Qi said coldly, staring at him.
Chu Yi started the car and pulled away. As soon as he picked up speed, he saw Sheng Qi roll down the window and toss the phone out, sending it falling into the river below the bridge.
"Boss, you... that was my brand-new phone!"
Chu Yi turned around with a resentful look at Sheng Qi's indifferent face. It stung more than a little.
"Do you want to switch careers and become an entertainment reporter?" Sheng Qi said flatly.
Chu Yi quickly pulled himself together and forced a bitter smile: "Actually, I thought that phone was no good either. Boss, you threw it well, threw it perfectly!"
After a long pause, Chu Yi couldn't help but speak up again: "Boss, about Bai Tang... do you want this girl?"
"No." Sheng Qi replied without a trace of emotion.
No?
Chu Yi was puzzled. If not, then why had he been flirting with her for so long just now?
Boss, since when did you have such good patience?
And the leisure to chat with a girl.
Of course, Chu Yi didn't dare say that out loud.
He was afraid of getting chewed out!
"Boss, do you think that video was just an accident?" Chu Yi asked curiously.
Sheng Qi remained silent, not answering the question.
Chu Yi could feel the obvious murderous aura radiating from him and didn't dare ask any more.

Bai Tang lay back down on the hospital bed and reached out to open the gift box. Inside was a car key.
Oh, generous move—directly giving a car!
Bai Tang smiled, recalling Sheng Qi's face that could topple nations.
And he said he had no improper intentions toward her!
Tsk tsk tsk, what a man of contradictions!
After being discharged, Bai Tang went straight back to school.
From the moment she stepped onto campus until she sat down in her seat, the gazes fixed on her never wavered.
She calmly took her place in the last row, swept her eyes over the crowd around her, and gave everyone a composed smile.
With her delicate features, free of the heavy makeup from before, her skin looked so tender it seemed like it could be pinched to water. Every smile and gesture left those around her stunned.
So beautiful!
Zhou Jiami's eyes landed on Bai Tang's face. While others were dazzled by her beauty, her own gaze held an indescribable fear.
A week ago, in that competition, this lunatic had played with her like she had nothing to lose!
"She looks like a fox spirit. All that heavy makeup before, and now she's playing the good girl. Does she really think wearing a school uniform makes her a model student? With her dead-last grades, it's laughable!" Zhou Jiami's deskmate sneered disdainfully.
Zhou Jiami pressed her lips together and said nothing.
"What's wrong with you?" her deskmate asked curiously. They usually trash-talked together, so why was she silent today?
Zhou Jiami frowned, looked away, and only coldly warned her: "Don't mess with Bai Tang from now on."
Deskmate: "..."
What's going on?
The morning ended quickly. Bai Tang actually listened attentively the whole time, because for her, sitting in a classroom and hearing the teacher lecture was a fresh, long-lost, and wonderful feeling!
But to others, Bai Tang's reaction was a bit alarming.
Could the rumors be true? Had Bai Tang been bullied by her stepmother and stepsister, and now she was sensible enough to start studying seriously?
As everyone was speculating, Bai Xier walked into the classroom from outside and spoke in a deliberately gentle voice: "Bai Tang, come out. I have something to say to you."
