Tang Yu probably didn't expect her words to be so sharp, and she smiled again with a hook of her lips.
"Zhan Se, I think you might have misunderstood my intentions. When I called, I really did want to show my concern for you. Besides... okay, I admit, I also wanted you to be aware of my existence. After all, keeping you in the dark this whole time isn't fair to you."
Clutching her phone tightly in her left hand, her palm sweaty, Zhan Se's brows were furrowed in pain.
"Miss Tang, does my tone sound like I'm unaware of your existence?"
"Oh?"
"I know who you are, and I know you live at Red Seal Pavilion. But what does this... have to do with me?"
Her composure turned the tables on Tang Yu.
"Heh, Zhan Se, aren't you being a bit too aggressive? You really don't need to see me as a rival in love..."
"You? A rival in love?"
A spasm in her abdomen made Zhan Se almost throw her phone in pain, but she bit her lip and forced out a teasing sentence through clenched teeth.
