"It's simple. I played a game with Tan Lu. Her skill set is different from that girl's. Besides, Tan Lu's skills are terrible," Tang Yaoyao replied.

Xiao Jingyan narrowed his eyes, looking at the scar on his left wrist.

During that suicide attempt, he cut his left wrist. The wound was deep and inconvenient, so he never played games again.

Therefore, he didn't know.

Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips and asked directly, "What does Third Master Xiao plan to do with Tan Lu?"

Xiao Jingyan frowned deeply: "This is not something Miss Tang should be concerned about."

Tang Yaoyao's eyes flickered: "As far as I know, Tan Lu intentionally took your place and lied to that girl, saying that you were no longer alive."

Xiao Jingyan's expression turned cold as he looked at her, his gaze filled with a chilling intensity that sent shivers down one's spine.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him, her gaze shifting slightly: "Of course, Tan Lu also told her that you never loved her, only hated and were angry with her."

He tightened his grip, snapping the cigarette in two: "Anything else?"

Tang Yaoyao took a few steps back, looking at his sexy, thin lips, her voice tinged with melancholy: "And... don't look for her anymore, you won't find her."

Xiao Jingyan's breath caught in his throat, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat, making it difficult to breathe.

"I only told you what I knew. Since Third Master is recuperating, I won't bother you any further."

Xiao Jingyan remained silent, but his gaze grew increasingly cold.

As Tang Yaoyao reached the door, he suddenly called out to her, "Stop."

The voice was cold.

Tang Yaoyao turned around and looked at him: "Is there anything else, Third Master?"

Looking into her eyes, Xiao Jingyan saw a change in his gaze for the first time, a hint of expectation replacing the coldness in his eyes: "You really don't know her whereabouts?"

Tang Yaoyao felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She knows.

But should we tell him that the girl has passed away?

This is incredibly cruel for someone with bipolar disorder.

Perhaps she will tell him the truth, but not now.

She shook her head: "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, his expression turned icy cold once more, devoid of any warmth, as if no one in this world could warm him.

Tang Yaoyao frowned. If only she could give him a hug instead of the girl in his heart.

But in the end, she is not herself, and she cannot be replaced.

I just wish him well.

This is probably the only bit of kindness she has shown since her rebirth.

A slight stirring in her heart, her voice softened a bit: "Third Master."

Xiao Jingyan looked at her, lit another cigarette, and waited for her to continue.

Tang Yaoyao pursed her pale lips slightly: "If she knew you were still alive, she would surely use her whole life to wish you a lifetime of peace."

Xiao Jingyan was somewhat moved, and his breathing became slightly heavier.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Thank you."

Distancing and indifferent.

Tang Yaoyao then opened the door and quickly left.

This is probably the best thing for him now.

...

After leaving Xiao Jingyan's villa, Tang Yaoyao was in a low mood.

Jiang Ci looked at her, somewhat helpless.

I really don't know which of these outstanding men she truly cares about.

Ring ring—

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Tang Yaoyao saw the caller ID, and a smile appeared on her lips, as if all her unpleasantness had vanished in an instant. She answered the phone sweetly, "Brother Chen~"

Jiang Ci shuddered upon hearing the voice, her expression filled with sorrow: "..."
