"..."

Listening to the tune of a flute being played through her phone, Wu Xiao rests on her bed with a faint smile of leisure on her face.

Currently, her long crimson hair is left loose, and having gotten out of the qipao, she is dressed in a white halter top with short pants that are comfortable to sleep in.

*Ping.* detecting a sound other than that of a flute, Wu Xiao turns her attention to the phone that displays a single new message, which reads—

[Congratulations.]

A simple message, and just as Wu Xiao is about to hit a reply—

"Tch."

The phone vibrates from an incoming call.

"What?"

Answering the call, Wu Xiao immediately speaks into the device in an irritated tone, to which, the person on the other line asks—

[Elder sister, you actually got married?]

"Little brother of mine, you got objections?"

[No, just... Curious. Who was it?]

"Bai Wen's new friend, the one Nuo'er was talking to us about."

As the other side responded with prolonged silence, Wu Xiao is just about to end the call, however—

[You're only using marriage as an excuse to keep an eye on him, right? Because he's an uncontrollable variable in this world?]

"Smart of you to notice."

Turning onto her back, Wu Xiao adds—

"That despicable bastard managed to kill me twice. Once can be considered a coincidence, but twice means he's capable. Do you think a person like that can just be left unchecked?"

[True. But there's still plenty of other ways to keep an eye on him, right? Why marriage of all things?]

"I'm tired. Also, thanks for keeping news of that incident sealed."

Answering as such, Wu Xiao ends the call.

The only reason Wu Xiao and Long Hua's fight hadn't made any waves in the news was because information on it had been sealed under the orders of her little brother.

Immediately, the melodies of a flute resume playing, but at this point, Wu Xiao is no longer interested in continuing to listen to it, as she hits pause.

"..."

Tossing the phone aside, and staring up at the ceiling, Wu Xiao blinks her eyes with her arms spread apart.

"..."

Closing and opening her hand repeatedly, Wu Xiao raises a frown, and mutters—

"So tempting to just rip that mask off... A person with a gleam that harsh, they're either a hideous monster, or a real beauty. But..."

Narrowing her eyes, Wu Xiao's frown widens.

"...Would the selfish face that I wish to see again......... Be behind that mask?"

.........

Since the sports car is electric based, the only sound it makes comes mainly from its moving wheels—providing a rather tranquil driving experience.

Gradually the yacht comes into view, and situated to the side of it, Long Hua and Tian Cheng saw—

"Hm?"

"...?"

A white luxury car with a bulky appearance parked nearby.

Stopping their car, and lifting its doors upwards, Long Hua and Tian Cheng step out of the vehicle.
