"Beautiful, did you miss me, so you came looking for me?" Bai Tang asked with a beaming smile.
Zhang Xiaochu instinctively moved to stand behind Bai Tang.
Chu Yi watched this scene and couldn't help but want to complain: Dude, when you said that earlier, you were pretty domineering!
Sheng Qi's gaze landed coldly on Zhang Xiaochu. "Who's the pretty boy?"
Zhang Xiaochu wanted to shrink behind Bai Tang, but realized her small frame couldn't hide him at all.
Zhang Xiaochu looked at Sheng Qi, grumbling inwardly: Seriously, so petty. Is it fun to harp on that question?
Enduring Sheng Qi's icy stare, Zhang Xiaochu forced a stiff smile. "You must have misheard!"
Bai Tang felt a poke on her back and almost laughed.
Weren't you just being all domineering?
Why are you chickening out now?
Just talk back!
Zhang Xiaochu poked Bai Tang's back again, harder this time, signaling her to say something to divert Sheng Qi's attention!
Bai Tang cleared her throat, raised her hand to wave, and smiled at Sheng Qi. "Beautiful, look over here, your Tangtang is right here!"
Sheng Qi stared at her coldly, as if he hadn't missed their little exchange.
Bai Tang: "..."
Looks like I've brought trouble on myself?
"Come with me," Sheng Qi said flatly to Bai Tang.
Bai Tang followed with a chuckle.
A short distance away, Sheng Qi stopped, his gaze fixed on her, an unreadable light in his eyes.
Bai Tang blinked and said cheerfully, "Beautiful, did you realize your Tangtang is getting cuter?"
Sheng Qi snorted. "Don't go flirting around everywhere!"
Bai Tang: "..."
Huh?
What the heck?
Flirting?
"I've only flirted with one delicate flower like you. As for 'around'... I still prefer you, a tender blossom."
Bai Tang smiled at him, the corners of her lips lifting slightly.
Sheng Qi snorted again and turned to leave.
Bai Tang stared after him, utterly confused. What the heck?
He came all this way just to say that?
Bai Tang went back, and Zhang Xiaochu looked at her, asking, "What did he want with you?"
Bai Tang looked up, her gaze fixed on Zhang Xiaochu, rubbing her chin and frowning. "How could he think you're a flower? You're not even a blade of grass!"
Zhang Xiaochu didn't understand what Bai Tang meant, but he could hear the contempt in her words.
Instantly, he glared at her.
Bai Tang sighed. "Beautiful's eyesight is getting worse. I need to take him to an eye doctor sometime!"
Zhang Xiaochu: "..."
Even though she was insulting Sheng Qi, why did it feel like he was being subtly insulted too?
It wasn't until five in the afternoon that Bai Tang drove back to the villa. As soon as she arrived, she saw a limited-edition sports car parked at the entrance.
Bai Tang got out, and the person from the other car did too.
When she saw who it was, Bai Tang thought to herself, This guy really is impatient, coming so soon!
Feng Zi stepped forward, blocking Bai Tang directly, his gaze fixed on her with an oppressive intensity.
"Hello!"
Feng Zi smirked, a hint of amusement in his eyes, with a predatory look.
Bai Tang looked at him, raising an eyebrow, her expression calm. "Who are you? Something you need?"
Feng Zi laughed. "I just thought you looked a lot like a friend of mine. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but now I see—you're identical!"
Bai Tang glanced at him, sidestepped, and walked away.
Feng Zi didn't move, but the bodyguards who got out of the car immediately blocked Bai Tang's path!
Bai Tang raised an eyebrow and sneered. "What, hitting on me didn't work, so now you're trying to kidnap a damsel?"
