"B-Boss..." Xiao Xi swallowed nervously, his voice trembling. "Boss, let me explain!"
Sheng Qi walked over expressionlessly, not even looking at him. The cold aura radiating from him made Xiao Xi's smile grow increasingly stiff.
"Pretty boy, he's trying to steal your girl." Bai Tang added fuel to the fire, unbothered.
Xiao Xi: "..."
Miss, if you don't speak, we can still be friends.
Sheng Qi stopped in front of Bai Tang, his gaze fixed firmly on her, his voice deliberately cold: "Let's go. I'll take you home."
Bai Tang grinned, chuckling lightly: "Don't worry, pretty boy. I still like you."
Sheng Qi furrowed his brows, his lips pressed tightly together. He seemed to want to say something but held back.
"Let's go." Tossing out the words, Sheng Qi strode toward the door.
Before Xiao Xi could even breathe a sigh of relief, Sheng Qi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He froze completely.
Sheng Qi turned around, his gaze chillingly landing on Xiao Xi, his voice carrying an indescribable coldness: "That bored, are you? Think three hours of extra training isn't enough? Is that it?"
"N-No, boss..."
"In that case, add another three hours!"
Xiao Xi: "..."
This isn't right!
"Boss, let me explain!"
Xiao Xi let out a wail, watching Sheng Qi stride away. His gaze shifted resentfully to Bai Tang beside him.
A faint, knowing smile hung on the girl's face. "Next time, don't try to steal your boss's girl right in front of him."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Xi gritted his teeth. "You..."
"See you tomorrow!" Bai Tang cut him off with a smile, turning and walking away, shouting loudly at Sheng Qi's retreating figure: "Pretty boy, wait for me!"
Xiao Xi: "..."
This girl is seriously toxic!
The onlookers' gazes toward Xiao Xi gradually turned sympathetic.
Poor guy, reduced to cannon fodder just like that.
Wait... was their big boss actually jealous just now?
In the span of just an hour, so much had happened. Their big boss had never had this much gossip in his entire life.
The car stopped, but Bai Tang didn't get out immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Sheng Qi, a roguish smile on her face: "You were so angry, so why did you still drive me home?"
"If you don't answer, I'll take it as you being shy."
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together, speaking in displeasure: "Get out!"
Bai Tang stared at him intently, her smile deepening: "I was quite satisfied with your performance just now."
Sheng Qi stared back without a word, a low-pressure aura enveloping him.
Bai Tang chuckled, knowing that if she kept teasing him, the man beside her would definitely resort to violence.
"See you!"
Opening the door, Bai Tang got out.
The moment the door closed, the car sped away.
No sooner had she stepped inside than her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID on the screen, the smile on Bai Tang's face instantly vanished, and even the aura around her seemed to turn cold in that moment.
"Hello?"
"Miss, the second young master of the Feng family will be arriving in Lingshan City soon. Should I go and nab him?" the man on the other end asked seriously.
"The second young master Feng is coming to Lingshan City?" Bai Tang frowned.
The person on the line paused for two seconds before reacting: "Miss, are you in Lingshan City?"
"Yeah, I am." Bai Tang pursed her lips, then asked, "Why is he coming here?"
"It should be related to racing. The details aren't clear yet, but this should be a good opportunity. Away from their base, making a move in Lingshan City should be easier."
"Don't come. Keep doing what I told you. I'll handle the second young master Feng myself," Bai Tang said.
"But if he sees you, won't that expose your identity?" the man asked worriedly.
"They won't easily believe it. A person who's supposed to be dead would never stand before them." Bai Tang's voice was icy, even carrying a chilling murderous intent.
