"Beauty, if you're not going to drink it, at least leave it for someone else!" Bai Tang couldn't help but complain. "Isn't it a waste to just throw it away like that?"
"What did you say?" Sheng Qi's voice was icy cold.
Even over the phone, Bai Tang could feel the chilling aura.
"Ahem... Beauty, you must have misheard!" Bai Tang said cheerfully. "What I meant was, if you don't like drinking it, I'll have it next time."
"Leave everything you don't like to me to handle!"
Sheng Qi snorted lightly and asked, "Anything else?"
"...No!"
You've already thrown away the milk tea, what else could there be?!
"Beauty, goodbye, I'll miss you!" Bai Tang said with a laugh, thinking it was better to hang up now.
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together. "Wait..."
"Huh? Something else?"
Was he really going to scold her for that?
"Beauty, you really misheard. I didn't call you wasteful, I swear!" Bai Tang quickly explained.
"Are you hungry?" Sheng Qi interrupted her coldly.
Bai Tang: "???"
What kind of trap was this?
"Well... not really."
"If you're not hungry, forget it!" Sheng Qi said indifferently.
"I'm hungry!"

By the time Sheng Qi and his group arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Bai Tang had just gotten there as well.
The group was a bit surprised to see Bai Tang, their gazes shifting to Sheng Qi in unison. Under his icy stare, they quickly looked away.
They all turned their attention to Bai Tang.
"Sister-in-law, you're here too!" Chu Er said with a sly grin. "Did the boss call you over specially? No wonder he made us wait five minutes—it was to call you!"
"Huh?" Bai Tang looked at Chu Er in confusion.
Hadn't she called him, and he just happened to ask?
"Chu Er!"
Sheng Qi's voice carried a hint of frost.
Hearing this, Chu Er turned around and smiled at Sheng Qi. "Boss, what's up?"
"Come here," Sheng Qi said coolly.
Though Chu Er sensed danger, he quickly walked over, looking at Sheng Qi with confusion.
Everyone watched as Sheng Qi said without changing his expression, "You all go in and order first. I need to talk to Chu Er alone."
Chu Yi glanced at Chu Er's foolish grin and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: How could he have such a naive brother? Like a complete idiot.
You Yu's eyes flickered with amusement, but he said nothing, quickly turning to Bai Tang. "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Xiao Xi also grinned mischievously. "Let's go, sister-in-law!"
Bai Tang: "..."
Though she didn't know what was going on, she could clearly feel the danger radiating from Sheng Qi.
Was he about to pick on Chu Er?
Watching the three of them push her into the restaurant, Bai Tang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you brothers? You're just going to leave him to his fate?"
"It's not that we're not saving him; we're conserving our strength. It's better to sacrifice one than to have everyone wiped out," You Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Xi sighed. "Brotherly bonds? In front of the boss, they're nothing but clouds."
Chu Yi handed the menu to Bai Tang, looking perfectly at ease. "Chu Er's tough-skinned and thick-fleshed. He's used to it."
Bai Tang: "How pitiful."
The three: "..."
Who would've thought you'd have such sympathy, girl?
A while later, Chu Er limped in with a pained expression, followed by the relaxed and carefree Boss Sheng.
Pulling out a chair, Chu Er sat down, but the moment his back touched the chair, the pain made him straighten up immediately.
Bai Tang quickly got up, walked over to Sheng Qi, and pulled him to sit beside her.
Then she sat down, casually taking his hand, and said with concern, "Does your hand hurt?"
The three: "..."
This girl has sympathy?!
Hah...
