“There are some snacks from Lei Ting in the cabinet. I don’t think she’ll mind if you eat them, so feel free to eat whatever you like,” Rex said, flipping through the documents in his hand.
“My little darling Lei Ting, you’re so good to me~” Xia Xiang said without any hesitation, and then added, “By the way, after you finish your investigation, I would like to meet the two people you rescued at the Gate of Time and Space.”
“Is there anything special about them?” Rex asked.
"It might be related to what I'm doing right now, but I'm not sure yet." Xia Xiang was pondering which of these snacks to eat first. They were all her favorites, so how should she choose?
He picked up a large pile and placed it on the small table next to him, then asked, "How's Liu Bei doing? What about Brother Da Dong?"
"You already know?" Rex awkwardly touched his nose, somewhat avoiding Xia Xiang's gaze.
"How could I not know that Leader Lei left the commander of our Iron Guard East City Guard in the Silver Dimension?" Xia Xiang rolled her eyes at him.
"Didn't you break up with the leader of the Iron Dimension Alliance? It would be awkward for you to go back to work. Why don't you come and work for the Gold Dimension Alliance?" Rex picked up a document from the side, signed his name crisply, and said in a calm tone.
"There's a position I can offer you as the leader's wife."
"Um, is it possible that I don't want to be a wage earner?" Xia Xiang paused in her unpacking, then calmly asked.
"Most importantly, I'll be someone else's alliance leader's wife in the future, so you should find someone else to fill your position here. Also, our alliance leader is very stingy, so don't let him hear you say that."
Then, looking at the snacks in her hand with some regret, she asked weakly, "Can I still eat this? I've already opened it..."
Xia Xiang: He must be joking, right? He used to dislike me, didn't he?
“Of course, this belongs to Lei Ting, not mine.” Rex, his expression unchanged, picked up another document and asked, “Have you two made up?”
“Yeah,” Xia Xiang thought about her previous breakup and felt speechless. “Dating and breaking up are like playing games. You young people don’t understand love.”
Although she was very confident, there's simply no comparison between one timeline and two people. Huai'an using this as a bargaining chip is far too frivolous, isn't it?
That can only mean that he is sick, or that there is a bigger conspiracy involved.
Neither of them said anything more, and the only sounds in the large office were the rustling of paper under their noses and Xia Xiang eating snacks.
Rex: Before, it was a crush, and it never worked out. This time, I went straight for it, and what happened?
Let's focus on building a career; it's simpler that way.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see those two." Rex put down what he was doing after answering a phone call.
"Let's go, let's go!" Xia Xiang jumped up and followed him downstairs.
The atmosphere between the two remained unchanged, as if they had only talked about the weather before.
Xia Xiang: Be natural, he was just joking.
Rex: Take it easy, just treat it as a joke.

"Nanny, they shouldn't be bad people." Sun Shangxiang's clone was protected behind her nanny, while the middle-aged woman glared at the rather helpless staff member.
"Xiao Ci, we must remain vigilant and not tell anyone our information," the nanny said seriously.
"But if you call my name, they'll all know I'm called Xiao Ci," Xiao Ci said, somewhat speechless.
"Uh, that's not important. What's important is, how do we escape from here?" The nanny then adopted an attack stance.
"Alright, now that they know we're trying to escape, they'll definitely lock us up even tighter." Xiao Ci squatted in the corner of the interrogation room.
Xia Xiang, Rex: "......"
"Leader, Miss Xia Xiang," the staff in the interrogation room called out upon their arrival.
"Go to the infirmary to treat your injuries. We can handle things here." Rex looked at the scratches on their faces with some disdain, inwardly cursing them as useless, but outwardly he was still a considerate superior to his subordinates.
Rex was still pondering where to send these people for some training when Xiao Ci's nanny teleported right in front of him.
Xiao Ci, the wet nurse who had intended to take Rex hostage, was directly repelled by Xia Xiang's protective magnetic field and slammed against the wall of the interrogation room.
"Hey, what are you trying to do!" Xiao Ci stood in front of the nanny who was falling from the wall.
"Miss, should I remind you? It was our alliance leader's people who saved you, and it was your healer who attacked first." Xia Xiang disliked her tone.
"You brought us here without any explanation, that's going too far! Is there no law or justice left?" Xiao Ci said angrily.
"You were the ones who trespassed into another dimension. Now that you're here, you have to follow the rules!" Xia Xiang said sternly.
Even if she is the real Sun Shangxiang, she is not the one who should atone for her sins.
Rex, shielded behind her, couldn't help but smirk: "What am I going to do? I'm a little envious of that pretty boy Jiu Wu and that narcissist Wang Yase."
She still protected him like this, just like she did when the Black Dragon surrounded him with the zombie warriors, completely forgetting that his combat power was already higher than hers.
Xia Xiang, with a normal combat strength of 12,000: Take back what you said, and we can still be friends!
Rex: I have 15,000...
