Chapter 988 — A Win-Win Situation? Had He Not Said the Very Same Thing to Tang Zhi Before? He Had Said That If Tang Zhi Behaved Herself, He Would Let Her Grudgingly Be the Mistress — and Now Tang Zhi Must Surely Be Throwing Those Words Right Back at Him!

At this thought, Feng Xiaoxiao was not the least bit annoyed — on the contrary, she was quietly delighted! Tang Zhi, ah, since that is how you put it, then I am sorry to say I am not like you. I do not get angry; I make a specialty of climbing right up whatever pole is held out to me!
"Heh, and I just happen to enjoy being the mistress. What is so bad about being the little wife? Being the first wife is exhausting — jealous from morning till night!" Feng Xiaoxiao said with a grin. "Tang Zhi, what if Wei Zhao really does fall for me? Are you sure you will stand by what you just said?"
"I... I..." Tang Zhi was suddenly at a loss for words, as though she were wavering!
"What, afraid to speak now?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Zhi with mockery in her eyes.
"My word is my word! If Wei Zhao truly falls for you, then I have nothing more to say!" Tang Zhi, as if goaded by Feng Xiaoxiao, declared with absolute finality: "If he accepts you, then I accept you!"
"Good, then it is settled!" Feng Xiaoxiao was smug within. In the end, Tang Zhi was still no match for her scheming — she had walked into the trap just like that!
"Settled it is!" Tang Zhi snorted.
"Then from now on, you are not allowed to give me dirty looks, or to keep me from getting close to Wei Zhao!" Feng Xiaoxiao seized the moment to press her advantage.
"As long as he says nothing against it, I will live in peace with you!" Tang Zhi nodded, her face flushed red.
"Good. And to be fair, from now on the three of us will eat together, go to school together, and come home together!" Feng Xiaoxiao went on, pushing further to test the limits of Tang Zhi's patience — she meant to wring as many advantages as she could while Tang Zhi was impulsive and irrational!
"Fair is fair! When I go on a date with him, I will inform you — that should satisfy you, shouldn't it?" Tang Zhi said angrily. "Only I am afraid that even if I give you the chance, it will be of no use! Being the mistress is not so easy as you imagine!"
"Then just wait and see!" Feng Xiaoxiao nearly jumped up and cheered three hurrahs. Tang Zhi was still too naive — she had been talked in circles so easily! Feng Xiaoxiao refused to believe it: if she posed no threat to Tang Zhi, would Wei Zhao truly not fall for her?
"Wait and see it is!" Tang Zhi sneered. "Scared?"
"Wei Zhao is back. I hope you will keep to our agreement, Sister Tang Zhi?" By calling her that, Feng Xiaoxiao meant to cement her own status as the little wife before Tang Zhi, so that Tang Zhi could never go back on her word!
"Very well, Sister Xiaoxiao!" Tang Zhi likewise deliberately laid heavy emphasis on the words "Sister Xiaoxiao"!
Feng Xiaoxiao was blooming with joy inside. What luck she had today! As long as Tang Zhi did not object, what else did she have to worry about?
And Tang Zhi, watching how happy Feng Xiaoxiao looked, let a faint curve flicker at the corner of her lips. In this exchange, who had really trapped whom?
Tang Zhi was in fact not the least bit foolish. She had cleverly made use of her earlier conflict with Feng Xiaoxiao to set a trap, and Feng Xiaoxiao had walked right into it. Most likely, even now, Feng Xiaoxiao still thought Tang Zhi was the one being silly.
Still, this could be counted a win-win situation, could it not?
When Wei Zhao returned, Tang Zhi gave him a look that said the deed was done, which astonished him. So quickly, Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao had secretly reached some sort of agreement? This made Wei Zhao regard Tang Zhi with new eyes!
But he pretended to know nothing, and set the three bowls of wonton noodles on the table, one for each of them — except that Feng Xiaoxiao's bowl had no seaweed and no dried shrimp in it.
"Huh? Why is mine missing something? Are you playing favorites?" Feng Xiaoxiao noticed that there was nothing in her soup and found it strange. Surely Wei Zhao would not play favorites to that degree?
