On the other end of the phone, Mu Tiange was startled upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words. His pupils dilated suddenly, but his expression quickly darkened.
Before he could speak, Ye Xunhuan's voice came through the receiver once again, "Feels great to manipulate everything from behind the scenes, doesn't it?"
"Xunhuan, I'm truly happy for you if you're alright!" Mu Tiange took a deep breath, his voice steady yet seemingly happy.
As if he were truly delighted that Ye Xunhuan was unharmed.
"Is that so?" Ye Xunhuan's lips curled slightly, slowly forming a cold smile, "Are you really happy for me, or do you wish I were dead?"
"How could I possibly wish for your death? After all, I'm your senior, and I've been looking forward to having a drink with you!"
"You'll get your chance," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "But by then, I'm afraid you won't want to sit with me."
