We must be completely honest with each other!

Xue Xiaodie's words were firm and resolute, leaving the large living room silent for a long while.

Tang Qi felt that the young woman in front of her had such a serious expression and such earnest eyes, and that the phrase "to be honest with each other" was echoing in her ears...

If this were the Tang Qi from before she met Lu Zhe, she might have been at a loss. But this time, Miss Tang didn't just obey so easily; she thought about it for a few more seconds.

Then Tang Qi asked in return, "Why?"

Xue Xiaodie said earnestly, "Because I like him."

Tang Qi was stunned by her candor.

Xue Xiaodie continued, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'll be honest, I like him. So I can't just stand by and watch him fall into President Xia's hands."

Tang Qi: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Xue Xiaodie almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, she shook her head in time, preventing her expression from becoming too obvious.

Then, suppressing the urge to laugh, she asked a serious question: "Have you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

"The Three Kingdoms?" Tang Qi frowned slightly. "Who doesn't know that? But this..."

Xue Xiaodie raised her left hand, pointing to her index, middle, and ring fingers, and said, "It's like the Three Kingdoms period. Everyone's ultimate goal is to unify the world, but the circumstances are different. President Xia is like the Wei Kingdom, which is very strong. Whether it's population or finance, it's much stronger than the Wu and Shu Kingdoms. So, although the ultimate goals are conflicting, the Wu and Shu Kingdoms can still cooperate, at least to take down the Wei Kingdom first."

Tang Qi: "I remember... in the end, the Wu and Shu kingdoms were still destroyed, right?"

Silence, two seconds of silence.

Xue Xiaodie retracted her middle and ring fingers, leaving only her slender index finger, and waved it from side to side, saying, "This is just a metaphor, you don't need to care so much about the historical outcome. Besides, the Wei Kingdom is gone, and the Jin Kingdom was the one that unified the country in the end."

Tang Qi then asked, "So, which of us do you think represents the state of Wu, and which represents the state of Shu?"

Xue Xiaodie laughed and said, "Of course, Shu is mine. It has the smallest territory and is the poorest. But speaking of which, you haven't told me honestly yet, are you...?"

Tang Qi blinked: "Are you thirsty? Yes, I really am thirsty."

Then Miss Tang unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle and took a sip of the ice-cold Coke.

Xue Xiaodie smiled, but there was a hint of murderous intent in her smile: "Don't play dumb with me. I'm asking you, do you also like Lu Zhe?"

Tang Qi: "Oh, the weather today..."

Xue Xiaodie: "The weather is great, yes, that's right. So don't change the subject, just admit it already!"

Tang Qi: "Let me think about what to eat for lunch today..."

Xue Xiaodie stared intently at her and took a deep breath.

Then she stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going back to work now. You can figure out how to deal with President Xia yourself."

Xue Xiaodie had just taken half a step when Tang Qi pulled her back and made her sit back on the sofa.

Tang Qi said helplessly, "I haven't even confessed to Lu Zhe yet, and I've already told you this. What's going on here... Okay, okay, I admit it, I like him!"

Xue Xiaodie laughed: "Why didn't you just admit it earlier?"

Tang Qi: "So, how do we deal with President Xia? She moved to Lu Zhe's place last night. If we don't stop her... Wu and Shu will be destroyed!"

Xue Xiaodie crossed her arms, looking confident: "It's actually very simple. Given Lu Zhe's personality, he won't actively pursue girls. So as long as we control the time President Xia spends with him, especially by preventing them from being alone together, we can avoid the danger of him falling into a trap."

Tang Qi: "But we can't get President Xia to move out..."

Xue Xiaodie smiled slyly: "Who said we should make President Xia move out? Why don't we just have Lu Zhe move out?"

Tang Qi was taken aback, her little face full of doubt: "Will this work?"

Xue Xiaodie: "The reason Lu Zhe moved out of your house is because of your problems, so it's not convenient for you to persuade him to come back now, right?"

Tang Qi nodded.

Xue Xiaodie continued, "But if I persuade him together and present a convincing enough reason, wouldn't we be able to get Lu Zhe to move back?"

"You mean..." Tang Qi swallowed, "...move back here?"

Xue Xiaodie nodded again: "That's right, and it's not just Lu Zhe, I moved in too."

Tang Qi: "This..."

Xue Xiaodie smiled, revealing her teeth: "If you don't let me stay here, then I definitely won't help you. It's mutual help and mutual benefit, right? Let's take Lu Zhe away from President Xia first, and then slowly decide who wins and loses while we're getting to know him, isn't that better?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent again.

After a long while, Tang Qi finally spoke: "What you said makes sense..."

Xue Xiaodie: "Of course it makes sense. This is the best and most realistic solution for both of us. We can't let President Xia move out, and we certainly can't let her and Lu Zhe live in the same building and have long-term opportunities to be alone together."

"Hmm, hmm..." Tang Qi found it hard not to agree.

Xue Xiaodie: "Of course, even if the three of us live together, don't rush to make a move against Lu Zhe. First, we need to get rid of President Xia, you understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Tang Qi continued to nod.

Xue Xiaodie: "Therefore, we must unite and guard against it at all costs! No matter where we are, we must ensure that President Xia cannot find even the slightest opportunity."

Tang Qi raised her hand: "Then you can't steal food either."

Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Of course, I already said to exclude President Xia first."
