Under Sheng Qi's unwavering gaze, Bai Tang kept her smile in place and continued, "I know."
"You know!"
Sheng Qi's eyes narrowed dangerously, as if trying to see through Bai Tang, menacing and terrifying.
"Beauty... Mr. Sheng, don't look at me like that, it makes me shy." Bai Tang acted coy, finally covering her face with her hands and turning away.
Her heart was racing wildly.
That sharp gaze was way too lethal!
"It seems your relationship is much better than I imagined." Sheng Qi spoke with an ambiguous tone.
Bai Tang grinned. "Just a little better than ordinary friends."
"You're not being modest at all."
Bai Tang smiled, staying silent as gold.
After all, since Sheng Qi could uncover Bai Wu's identity, if she claimed not to know who Bai Wu was, he would definitely think she was in serious danger now, based on what he said to Bai Wu today.
He would find another chance to make Bai Wu stay away from her!
He might even keep investigating. Although Sheng Qi wouldn't connect it to her identity for now, he was smart enough to eventually figure it out!
Thinking this, Bai Tang's gaze toward Sheng Qi shifted slightly.
Ah, this unparalleled beauty—who knows how much longer she can enjoy it.
Sheng Qi watched Bai Tang's wistful expression and frowned deeply.
He was sure there was nothing good going on in her head!
"Should we start the lesson?" Bai Tang asked softly, afraid Sheng Qi might lose his temper.
Sheng Qi remained silent with a cold face, just staring at her icily.
Bai Tang sighed. Today's Big Boss Sheng was hard to appease!
Sheng Qi stared at Bai Tang for so long that she wondered if she should just make a run for it.
"Mr. Sheng, what do you want? Just say it, okay? Don't look at me like that!" Bai Tang gave a flattering smile. "I'm nervous."
"He's dangerous!" Sheng Qi said.
Bai Tang was startled, surprised he would say something like that.
"He won't hurt me." Bai Tang said with a smile.
The girl's confident tone made Sheng Qi swallow the words he had prepared.
Looking at Bai Tang, he felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
Sheng Qi stared at Bai Tang for a long time, a struggle in his eyes, but in the end, it all faded away, leaving nothing.
"Finish the homework the school assigned first." Sheng Qi said coldly, then turned and walked toward the door.
The office door closed, and Bai Tang stared at the spot by the door, unable to help frowning.
This time, it really seemed hard to appease!
After a moment, Bai Tang looked away, picked up her pen, and started on her homework.
Half an hour later, Bai Tang finished all her homework, but Sheng Qi still hadn't appeared.
Glancing at the time, she casually grabbed the practice papers Sheng Qi had prepared and completed two sets.
Yet, Sheng Qi still didn't show up.
Bai Tang raised an eyebrow slightly. What was this about?
Had he forgotten the tutoring session?
Packing her bag, Bai Tang was about to go find Sheng Qi when Zhang Xiaochu called.
"What's up?" Bai Tang asked.
"When are you coming to see me? I've been waiting forever!" Zhang Xiaochu said with a grumble, absently torturing the flowers Bai Wu had sent over today.
"Later." Bai Tang said, getting up and heading for the door. "I need to go appease the big boss!"
"What's up with Sheng Bai Lian now?" Zhang Xiaochu asked irritably.
"Stop with the chatter, I'll come over after I'm done!" Bai Tang hung up directly.
The office area was empty, so Bai Tang headed straight for the training ground.
As soon as she arrived, she heard Chu Yi and the others complaining, "Boss, if we keep training, we're going to be wrecked!"
