Bai Tang stood at the door, waving at the two people in the car. "Take care on the road, you two."
Xiao Wu smiled gently, his stern face softening. "Miss, get some rest early. I'll come by tomorrow morning to make you breakfast."
Bai Tang nodded.
Sheng Qi's gaze fell coldly on Bai Tang.
Bai Tang's smile froze for a few seconds before she beamed even brighter at Sheng Qi. "Big shot, good night. Tangtang will miss you, you know."
Sheng Qi expressionlessly withdrew his gaze and drove off directly.
Watching both cars disappear from sight, Bai Tang finally turned and went back inside.
Sheng Qi hadn't driven far before pulling over to stop. The car behind him, driven by Bai Wu, stopped as well.
Opening the door, Bai Wu got out.
Watching Sheng Qi approach him, Bai Wu spoke calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, you want me to leave, don't you?"
Sheng Qi stared at him coldly, exuding an overwhelming pressure. "She's just a high school senior. I don't want her involved in your messy affairs. I hope you'll stay away from her!"
Bai Wu looked at him, the scar at the corner of his eye making his stern face appear dangerous and cold in that moment. "On what grounds do you keep demanding I leave?" he asked expressionlessly. "She and I are friends. What's your relationship with her?"
Sheng Qi fixed him with a cold stare. "Friends? If you're using her, then you don't deserve to be her friend!"
"I would never use anyone in my life, least of all her!" Bai Wu said seriously, staring at Sheng Qi. "So, Mr. Sheng, spare me your repeated warnings. When the time is right, I'll leave this place!"
Sheng Qi's eyes narrowed dangerously, the light in them growing even colder. "You'd better keep your word. Otherwise... if you dare to use her, don't blame me for being harsh!"
Sheng Qi gave him one last cold look, turned, got into his car, and drove away.
Bai Wu stood there, watching the car disappear into the distance, his cold face returning to calm. Finally, he curled his lips into a smile. *So reserved. Miss is going to have a hard time chasing him.*
Bai Tang had just finished washing up and was about to lie down when her phone received a text message.
"Miss, I got warned again!"
Bai Tang curled her lips and replied with a smile, "Big shot is so protective of me!"
"So, Miss, do you want to steal him away?" Bai Wu asked in a half-joking tone.
Bai Tang chuckled and replied, "Let's forget it for now."
"Why?"
Bai Wu was a bit surprised. After all, in the past, if Miss liked something, she would always get it. He could also tell that Bai Tang had some fondness for Sheng Qi, but what surprised him was that she didn't have the urge to claim him for herself.
Bai Tang held the phone to her lips and said softly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him in the end."
When Bai Wu heard this voice message, the smile on his face faded, and his expression turned serious. *When did that carefree little girl ever have such concerns?*
Just as Bai Wu was about to say something to comfort her, Bai Tang sent another voice message.
Bai Wu tapped it open, and the girl's voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, rang out, "But I believe that one day I'll have the ability to protect him. When that time comes, I'll steal him away!"
"I believe you can do it, Miss," Bai Wu said with a smile, setting his phone aside.
Bai Tang stared at the ceiling, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
*Steal Sheng Qi away? Bring him home to drive me crazy?*
