Bai Chengfeng’s face darkened, crushed by Sheng Qi’s imposing aura, unable to utter a single word.
Sheng Qi stared at him coldly. “Bai Tang and Mr. Bai have long since severed their father-daughter relationship. If Mr. Bai believes he’s in the right, then go ahead and call the police!”
Bai Chengfeng’s expression turned ugly, his lips pressed tightly together. Fuming, he wanted to salvage some of his dignity, but under Sheng Qi’s oppressive presence at that moment, he could only shoot Sheng Qi a cold glare before storming off in anger.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to turn back and glare at Bai Tang, who was standing by the door!
Soon, everyone was gone, leaving only Sheng Qi standing outside.
Sheng Qi approached Bai Tang with an umbrella, step by step, exuding a dangerous aura.
Bai Tang: “...”
Is it too late to close the door now?
“Handsome, why are you back?” Bai Tang grinned at him, a hint of flattery in her tone.
Sheng Qi stood before her, his face dark as he swept a glance at her right hand resting at her side, then locked eyes with her again.
“If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known you actually dared to take off the splint!”
His voice was icy, carried by the night wind, exuding a biting chill even in the height of summer.
Bai Tang forced a smile, looking at him, and said cheerfully, “Handsome, I was about to change clothes, and it felt a bit inconvenient, so I temporarily took it off... just temporarily!”
Sheng Qi said nothing. He stepped closer, closed the umbrella, pushed Bai Tang, who was blocking the doorway, aside, and walked straight inside with a blank expression.
Before Bai Tang could stop him, Sheng Qi had already halted inside, his gaze falling on the messy living room, then landing on the splint Bai Tang had casually tossed on the floor.
Bai Tang: “...”
Holy crap!!!
“Handsome, it’s not what you think!” Bai Tang scurried over in small steps to stand in front of Sheng Qi, blocking his view.
“Then what is it?” Sheng Qi asked.
“I had it properly placed, but those people came in and trashed the place, wrecking everything!” Bai Tang quickly explained.
“I thought you’d taken it off yourself, thrown it on the ground, and taken on that whole group single-handedly.”
Sheng Qi’s tone was flat and cold, chilling and terrifying.
Bai Tang: “...”
Did this guy have a camera installed here?
“No!” Bai Tang, driven by survival instinct, said, “I didn’t fight. They did all the smashing. I just stood by and watched.”
Sheng Qi frowned, looking at her arm with displeasure. Just as he was about to speak again, Bai Tang quickly cut him off: “Handsome, what’s in that bag you’re carrying?”
Sheng Qi frowned, staring at her with a grim expression. He picked up the splint from the floor. “Come with me!”
She obediently sat on the sofa. Sheng Qi set down the bag he was carrying and opened it, revealing the medicine and bandages he’d gotten from the hospital today.
So he’d come back to bring her this.
“Give me your hand!” Sheng Qi said coldly.
Bai Tang dutifully extended her hand, watching as Sheng Qi lowered his gaze and skillfully secured the splint. She quickly buttered him up: “Handsome is amazing, you can do anything!”
Sheng Qi looked up and stared at her coldly, and Bai Tang immediately shut up.
Alright, no compliments allowed!
Sheng Qi worked quickly and bandaged it professionally.
Once he was done, Sheng Qi turned his gaze back to her, his voice even colder than before. “Did you not take what I said today to heart?”
“How could I?”
She had no idea what he was talking about, but denying it was the right move!
“I’ve memorized every word you said, Handsome!”
“Is that so?” Sheng Qi snorted. “Then tell me, what exactly did I say?”
Bai Tang: “...”
