Sheng Qi's expression remained calm. "What kind of existence you are, shouldn't you be proving that to me?"
Bai Tang's lips curled slightly, her smile gentle and shallow, carrying a light that was hard to read. But that light vanished too quickly, disappearing before Sheng Qi could delve deeper.
"If you want me to take first place, aren't you afraid this secondhand car of yours will end up as a pile of scrap metal?" Bai Tang withdrew her gaze, speaking with a faint, teasing smile.
Sheng Qi stared at her. Her answer caught him off guard.
At the very least, with her, even if the words she just spoke were arrogant, he knew she had enough confidence to back up such an outrageously bold statement!
Bai Tang paid no attention to Sheng Qi's gaze fixed on her. She started the car and drove off.
To be honest, this car was truly garbage!
Maybe because it hadn't been driven in so long, the handling was absolutely terrible!
Bai Tang's speed was excruciatingly slow. The three sports cars following behind were baffled.
Was this supposed to be speed and passion?
Once in their cars, the trio turned on the intercom.
Xiao Xi couldn't help but complain: "Should we three even be here as practice partners? At this turtle pace, I'd be faster running on foot!"
"Go ahead and run then!" You Yu laughed, retorting.
Xiao Xi: "Damn it!"
Chu Yi remained calm, after all, he had seen Bai Tang drive before.
"Maybe she's still getting a feel for it. That car's been sitting in the garage for two years; I bet the parts are rusted."
Chu Yi thought for a moment and added, "Besides, I don't think the boss would be idle enough to let her just cruise along at thirty miles per hour forever."
Xiao Xi grinned. "Let me give her a little push!"
You Yu: "..."
Chu Yi: "..."
In this day and age, there really were plenty of people unafraid of death!
Still, neither of them tried to stop this kind of brotherly sabotage, letting Xiao Xi charge ahead to his doom.
Bai Tang drove on, her frustration reaching its peak because of the car's sluggish response.
She seriously wanted to ram this car into the barriers outside the track, destroying it completely—she felt that might barely soothe her mood.
Sheng Qi sat calmly, his peripheral vision fixed on her.
"This car is yours from now on. Since you like it so much, take good care of it. If it breaks..." Sheng Qi paused, then continued after a few seconds, "If it's wrecked, the consequences will be severe, really."
"Since it's a gift from a beauty, of course I'll protect it well. I'll make it my family heirloom!" Bai Tang said cheerfully.
Sheng Qi looked at her insincere words, a trace of amusement flickering in his eyes.
Mm, good enough.
"Sister-in-law, isn't your speed a bit too slow?"
Xiao Xi pulled up alongside Bai Tang, driving parallel, his voice laced with mockery and teasing: "Weren't you just saying you'd let the boss experience speed and passion? You didn't forget, did you?"
Bai Tang raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze landing on him.
"How fast do you want?" Bai Tang smirked.
"Catch me!" Xiao Xi laughed. "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll try to keep my speed in check."
Bai Tang's smile deepened, and she spoke: "Xiao Xi, openly trying to poach right in front of your boss—you've got some nerve, huh!"
Xiao Xi: "..."
I didn't!
"Boss, I didn't!" Xiao Xi quickly explained to Sheng Qi. "Boss, you've got to believe me!"
Sheng Qi only gave him a cold, dangerous look.
Sister-in-law? That came pretty smoothly, didn't it?
"Teach him a lesson."
Sheng Qi said flatly to Bai Tang.
