"Let's tone it down a bit..."
As they walked on the sidewalk, Lu Zhe offered this advice.
But Tang Qi, standing beside him, still held his hand, shaking it with every step they took. It was as if she wanted everyone to know their hands were clasped together.
The young lady said with a grin, "Anyway, Sister Xiaodie isn't here, so no one can see us!"
Lu Zhe glanced around and said, "Not necessarily. We might run into some colleagues we know..."
Tang Qi: "And then? Will your colleagues gossip with President Xia?"
Lu Zhe: "Who would talk to the boss about something like this..."
Tang Qi: "That settles it! Xiao Die isn't here, and President Xia can't see it, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
Lu Zhe: "President Xia's office is upstairs. He might be looking down at us right now."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi was startled and turned around to look up.
But then the girl breathed a sigh of relief: "We're already blocked, so even if she's looking from there, she can't see us. Maybe we could see us when we came out of the building, but what are the chances of that happening!"
Lu Zhe sighed: "Alright then, what did you want to eat for lunch?"

Inside the KFC, Xue Xiaodie had calmed down.
She realized that since President Xia had called her out and let her witness Miss Tang and Lu Zhe's interaction, it meant that he had undoubtedly anticipated this. In other words, President Xia definitely had a plan.
So the girl asked, "What do you want?"
Xia Xiaobing narrowed her eyes and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Xue Xiaodie leaned back in her chair and said frankly, "President Xia, you must have discovered some signs about Lu Zhe and Tang Qi, so you guessed that there must be something between them... What I want to say is that you must have a purpose in inviting me here. I guess you want to persuade me to join you in dealing with Tang Qi."
Xia Xiaobing smiled and said, "What you said is almost right, but I think we can be more frank."
Xue Xiaodie: "Be honest? What do you mean?"
Xia Xiaobing rested her elbows on the table, her hands clasped together, the backs of her hands forming a bridge to support her chin. Her usually cold and aloof face now appeared unusually serious.
She whispered, "You and I, and Miss Tang as well, all have some kind of advanced memories, right?"
Xue Xiaodie's back immediately lifted off the chair back.
The girl sat up straight, blinked, and whispered, "You mean, rebirth?"
"Whether it's rebirth or a dream from your future self, in short, you've learned some things you shouldn't have known. And the most important thing we know is being with Lu Zhe... Judging from your expression, I'm sure I'm not wrong."
As Xia Xiaobing spoke, she smiled slightly, a smile full of profound meaning.
Xue Xiaodie was quite shocked at this moment.
She had indeed thought about the fact that she and the other two girls were all reincarnated. But she had never considered saying it out loud.
Get this straight, all three of them are competitors, fierce rivals in love, how could they possibly speak openly about their feelings?
But now Xia Xiaobing is speaking openly.
Seeing Xue Xiaodie fall silent, Xia Xiaobing continued, "So, both you and I know Lu Zhe's personality very well. If he's committed to a girl and has made up his mind about his girlfriend, then he won't easily fall for someone else. He's not that kind of person, you understand, right?"
"I..." the girl said blankly, "After we became a couple, no other girls tried to seduce him."
Hearing her say that, Xia Xiaobing was also stunned: "In your timeline, is he that lonely?"
Xue Xiaodie: "In your timeline, just how exciting is his life?!"
Xia Xiaobing smiled and shook her head: "Was it exciting? Not really. Back then, he was just a CEO with a few hundred million in funds, so it was inevitable that he would have some business engagements, and there were also some scheming little vixens and lolis who wanted to get close to him. However, he rejected them all."
Xue Xiaodie retorted, "Are you sure? Maybe he's up to something quite different in places you don't know about."
Xia Xiaobing wore a serene smile, but her words were anything but innocent: "That's definitely impossible. Ten times a week is absolutely the limit for a thirty-year-old man. Going out and having more fun? He can't do that. And let me emphasize, these ten times a week weren't me forcing him; it was both of us taking the initiative..."
Xue Xiaodie couldn't help but squeeze the corner of the table harder again. She understood that President Xia was talking about another timeline, but as the person involved, she felt extremely uncomfortable no matter how she listened. She felt like she had been cuckolded, which was tantamount to NTR remarks made in person.
But then she realized that she could also bring up her 'past' events and act arrogantly.
So Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "That's a real shame. Our future life won't be as exciting as yours. We'll just be an ordinary, struggling middle-class family with a mortgage. But I'll be a full-time artist at home, and he'll be a full-time operations manager for me. So we'll be together almost every day, and we'll never get tired of each other. We'll have so much time together."
Xia Xiaobing gripped her sunglasses tightly, thankfully preventing them from falling.
The two stared at each other in silence for more than ten seconds.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaobing smiled and said, "Those are all things that only exist in our memories, what's there to talk about? The key issue is that we all know Lu Zhe is very devoted. If we let him and Miss Tang completely commit to a relationship, then unless we transform into lesbians and personally kidnap Miss Tang, it will be difficult to compete with her, don't you think?"
Xue Xiaodie's gaze sharpened, she nodded, and asked in return, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Xia Xiaobing: "Let's make this clear first, I'm not planning to give up. What about you?"
Xue Xiaodie: "I can wait until both of you have dated him, until he has settled down, and then he can come back to me."
“You’re very determined…” Xia Xiaobing shook her head. “So neither of us will give up easily. In that case, we should join forces, at least to prevent Miss Tang from planting her flag.”
Xue Xiaodie: "You and I are teaming up?"
Xia Xiaobing frowned and said, "They've already reached the high ground, and you're still hesitating?"
Xue Xiaodie shook her head: "No, it's not hesitation, I just want to ask, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Xia Xiaobing: "You have plenty of time to spend with Tang Qi, so you can first find out how far she and Lu Zhe have progressed and whether they have officially become a couple."
Xue Xiaodie: "And then?"
Xia Xiaobing pondered for a moment and said, "Then we'll have to see how things go... If they haven't officially started dating yet, or if their relationship isn't fully established, then we should immediately interfere with her and Lu Zhe's time together and prevent them from taking things further."
Xue Xiaodie took a deep breath and asked again, "So what if they've already confirmed their relationship?"
For a moment, the two girls fell silent again.
