Lu Zhe was extremely shocked.
Upon learning the details of Xue Xiaodie's plan, he was so astonished that he couldn't speak or type for a long time. At that moment, he had only one feeling: one of them, Xue Xiaodie, had definitely gone mad.
After confirming that he hadn't misread a single word, he thought that Xue Xiaodie must have gone mad.
"You're not really going to do that, are you?!"
Lu Zhe turned around to face her, dragged his chair closer, lowered his voice, but his tone was unusually impatient.
Xue Xiaodie's lips curled up slightly: "Why not? Is there a better way to solve this problem?"
Lu Zhe: "But..."
Xue Xiaodie: "Since you've chosen an unconventional path, you should naturally adopt unconventional methods. What, don't you even have that much awareness?"
Lu Zhe hurriedly said, "My awareness is fine, but the problem is you! Do you really think you can accept this kind of thing?"
Xue Xiaodie raised her head and thought for a moment, then looked back at him and smiled, "I've thought about it, it should be possible."
Lu Zhe: "..."
They both fell silent, gazing at each other for a long while.
Finally, Lu Zhe moved his Adam's apple with some difficulty and said in a low voice, "Since you've thought it through, then I... of course I won't have any problems."
Xue Xiaodie clasped her hands together and gently said, "Then it's decided. Later, you send a message to President Xia. By the way, you know what to send, right?"
Lu Zhe nodded solemnly.
Xue Xiaodie then asked, "How should I tell her? Do I need to teach her?"
Lu Zhe sighed: "Of course not."

At 6:30 p.m., Lu Zhe stayed in the office under the pretext of working overtime, while Xue Xiaodie had already left.
Not long after, Xia Xiaobing came out. Lu Zhe silently shut down his computer and followed her out of the office—of course, to others, Lu Zhe and President Xia were quite a distance apart, and there was no verbal or even eye contact between them, so they were clearly not together.
But after getting off the elevator and leaving the office building, the two gradually got together.
"What are we having for dinner?" Xia Xiaobing asked as he caught up with her. "Are you cooking, or are we eating out?"
Lu Zhe didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you hungry now?"
Xia Xiaobing: "It's okay, I had some afternoon tea, so I'm not too hungry."
Lu Zhe said in a serious tone, "What a coincidence, me too. But although I'm not hungry in my stomach, I'm very hungry in other parts of my body."
Xia Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "So today you were not only very proactive in inviting me to dinner, but you were also very proactive in eating with me."
Lu Zhe smiled and took her hand. But when he turned his face away, from an angle she couldn't see, the smile on Lu Zhe's face became somewhat uneasy.
Fortunately, he had wiped his palms on the side of his pants before holding hands, so Xia Xiaobing wouldn't feel any sweat. Otherwise, he estimated that this small detail alone might have aroused the suspicion of the intelligent CEO Xia.
The two walked hand in hand to the apartment building.
At this moment, Xia Xiaobing teased, "Holding hands so early in the morning, aren't you afraid of being seen by those two girls?"
Lu Zhe said without changing his expression, "If they see us, we can just explain it to them."
Xia Xiaobing was genuinely shocked by these words. She clearly hadn't expected that Lu Zhe actually planned to confront Xue Xiaodie and Tang Qi.
She couldn't help but press, "Are you sure? You really want to cut off contact with two beautiful girls like this?"
"Now that I have you, why should I get involved with other girls? It's just that I'm too shy to say it and I can't bear to see them cry."
When Lu Zhe said this, his expression was completely calm, and there was some sadness in his eyes, but there was not the slightest hesitation.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Xia Xiaobing immediately realized that this guy had probably really made up his mind.
Xia Xiaobing wanted to say, "Since you're afraid to see them cry, then I'll talk to them for you," but after thinking about it, she silently swallowed her words. After all, it seemed a bit like kicking someone when they're down, and although Xue Xiaodie and Tang Qi couldn't hear her, she disdained to do so.
Moreover, she was also worried that if she really rushed to kick someone when they were down, it might provoke Lu Zhe's resentment, which would give the two girls an opportunity to turn the tide.
So Xia Xiaobing simply said calmly, "You can decide for yourself when to tell them."
As they spoke, the two had already entered the elevator.
There was no one else in the elevator, so Lu Zhe couldn't wait to kiss his sister's lips.
Xia Xiaobing turned her face away: "Stop messing around, there are cameras!"
Lu Zhe persisted: "No one will watch this camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Unless there's a major incident like a murder, who would bother watching this? Besides, even if someone did see it, it's just kissing, so what?"
After saying that, he kissed her forcefully.
After their lips touched, Xia Xiaobing only held back for a few seconds before responding. And her response grew increasingly passionate and emotional.
The building was very tall, and the elevator took a long time to ascend, giving the two of them enough time to embrace and kiss passionately.
As their lips and tongues intertwined, their hands also rested on each other's bodies. Of course, despite their passion, they maintained basic rationality. Their clothes were slightly disheveled from the friction, but nothing was exposed—however, anyone else present who witnessed this scene would likely have blushed.
At first, Xia Xiaobing paid attention to the numbers displayed in the elevator. As the numbers got bigger and bigger, indicating that the elevator was going up to higher floors and that there were only two or three floors left to go before her own apartment, she closed her eyes with peace of mind and enjoyed the passionate kiss.
Suddenly, with a "ding," the elevator stopped.
Xia Xiaobing subconsciously opened her eyes, only to find that the elevator display seemed to be wrong. Her home was on the 42nd floor, but the number displayed was 41, just one floor off.
At this moment, Lu Zhe was facing the elevator door, while Xia Xiaobing had her back to the elevator door and could not see what was behind her.
But she felt that Lu Zhe's body seemed to stiffen in her arms.
Sensing something amiss, Xia Xiaobing turned her face away and looked back, gasping in shock.
Standing at the elevator door was Xue Xiaodie.
With a sharp "thud," Xue Xiaodie's phone fell to the ground.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Lu Zhe and Xia Xiaobing were still embracing and kissing, but Xia Xiaobing turned her head and glared at her—it was obvious that Xue Xiaodie had seen the scene of the two kissing deeply just now.
The elevator doors slowly closed, but then retracted halfway down.
Because Xue Xiaodie dropped her phone on the ground, it was lying across the middle of the elevator door.
Suddenly, the girl's voice broke the incredibly awkward and heavy silence.
Xue Xiaodie said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come downstairs at this time..."
