Suppressing his irritation, Zhang Xiaochu said, "For Sheng Qi?"
"That's right!" Bai Tang replied with a smile.
Zhang Xiaochu grumbled, "I'm in the middle of a race, and you're saying stuff like this. Aren't you afraid of messing with my head and affecting my performance?"
"You're such a shallow woman, alright? Am I that ugly? Sheng Qi's just a pretty boy—does he look like he's got the security I do?"
"Can good looks fill your stomach?"
Sensing Zhang Xiaochu's resentment, Bai Tang gave a sly grin. "If you're so pissed off, then take first place today and prove to me with your skills that you're hotter than that pretty boy Sheng!"
"Just you wait!" Zhang Xiaochu snorted. "I'll make you fall for me in my suit pants today!"
"I'm waiting!" Bai Tang laughed.
The countdown had already started. Zhang Xiaochu pressed his lips together, ready to hang up, but couldn't help adding to the girl on the other end, "As my future girlfriend, don't embarrass me, got it?"
"Sure thing, Chu Ge!" Bai Tang replied crisply.
"So you're agreeing to be my girlfriend?" Zhang Xiaochu asked cheerfully.
The busy signal from the other end made Zhang Xiaochu frown.
He couldn't help muttering under his breath, "Shallow woman!"
Tossing his phone aside, Zhang Xiaochu turned to look behind him, trying to spot Bai Tang.
He'd forgotten to ask which car she was in.
With fifteen seconds left on the screen countdown, Zhang Xiaochu had to pull his gaze back to the display and get ready.
Everyone was tense, their hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, palms sweating.
Of course, this tension didn't apply to the girl who was still on her phone, sending WeChat messages to flirt with Sheng Qi.
Almost at the very last second, Sheng Qi's phone buzzed with a message notification.
He held the phone without moving, his eyes fixed on the last silver sports car.
The moment the race began, the car shot off like an arrow from a bow, the silver vehicle overtaking the others and jumping straight to the front row.
In that instant of acceleration, she had already found the perfect position!
"Pretty impressive!" Chu Yi commented with a laugh. "With her turtle speed yesterday, pulling off a start like this is totally unexpected!"
"Boss, looks like your precious son hasn't been completely wasted in her hands, at least for now."
As Chu Yi finished speaking, he saw Sheng Qi's usually expressionless face turn dangerously dark, his gaze toward him now laced with murderous intent.
What did he say wrong?
Sheng Qi snorted coldly, looked away, and unlocked his phone to check the WeChat message Bai Tang had just sent. He couldn't help frowning.
Didn't she know the race was about to start? And she was still sending messages.
He opened the message—it was a selfie of the girl holding the steering wheel with one hand, along with a voice note.
He tapped the voice note, and the girl's cocky voice came through with a teasing tone: "First, I'll show you a picture of me and our son. When it's over, we'll take a family photo together!"
Chu Yi: "..."
Girl, are you trying to fly too close to the sun?!
Feeling the chill radiating from Sheng Qi, Chu Yi decided it was safer to keep his distance.
Sheng Qi stared at the photo on the screen for a long moment, took a deep breath, and locked the phone.
A photo, huh? A family photo, huh?
Heh...
Sheng Qi lifted his eyes to the silver car on the track, his hand tightening, his gaze dark and ominous. Then, suddenly, his expression shifted.
Bai Tang was maintaining a spot in the top three, but as she approached the upcoming curve, two cars closed in on her from behind. The red car rammed into her side, trying to force her off the track!
