Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 14

Yang Jiu, pretending her car was broken, had to take taxis to work for the remaining two workdays to avoid being found out.

Sitting in the taxi, she felt a bit cheated.

She had planned to use the excuse of a broken car needing repairs to ride with Shu Nanxuan to and from work.

But on the first day, she angered Shu Nanxuan.

The worst part was not knowing how she upset her.

So, her request to ride with Shu Nanxuan died before it could even start, with no chance to take root.

She sighed, accepting her first plan’s failure.

The taxi arrived at the company entrance.

Yang Jiu greeted the driver, got out, and closed the door.

Sitting in her office chair, ten minutes before work started, she brewed a cup of coffee, sipping it slowly, hoping to ease her fatigue from poor sleep.

After finishing the coffee, Yang Jiu felt slightly better and began work.

To keep up the act, lest Shu Nanxuan discover her deception and make her pay dearly.

Yang Jiu waited until Shu Nanxuan showed no sign of leaving work, then quietly drove her car into the basement of the office building next door, feeling relieved.

She took a taxi home, feeling sad again over her failed plan, even having to take taxis because of it.

Her first plan failed.

What should she do next?

Yang Jiu sprawled ungracefully on her sofa.

She had been too confident, thinking she could slowly close the gap with Shu Nanxuan by hitching rides.

The night passed quickly in overthinking.

The sound of Shu Nanxuan closing her door came from outside.

The sound pulled her back to the scene from that night after knocking on Shu Nanxuan’s door.

The deep cleavage seemed still before her eyes.

She swallowed hard, forcing down that desire.

That night, she waited a long time for the sound of Shu Nanxuan’s door closing.

The first knock went unanswered; the second knock opened the door.

She hadn’t expected the first knock went unanswered because Shu Nanxuan was changing.

Shu Nanxuan’s figure was always good, but over the years, it seemed even better—her skin soft and smooth, her br3asts larger.

Mainly, her br3asts were larger.

Did she also touch her br3asts when masturbating?

Yang Jiu thought inappropriately.

More material for dreams, Yang Jiu thought, grabbing a pillow to cover her face, reminding herself not to go too far.

She was a decent person.

At least before reconciling, she shouldn’t go too far.

Be decent before reconciling.

Minutes later, Yang Jiu sprang up from the sofa.

She grabbed a milk carton from the fridge, poured it into a glass, microwaved it briefly, and carried it to Shu Nanxuan’s door.

Before knocking, she took a deep breath, exhaled, then knocked rhythmically.

The person outside was no surprise.

Learning from last time, Shu Nanxuan put on a jacket over her nightgown before opening the door.

Seeing Shu Nanxuan open the door in a jacket, Yang Jiu felt relieved but also secretly disappointed.

“Drinking milk at night helps you sleep better,” she said, handing the milk to Shu Nanxuan.

Shu Nanxuan looked at her oddly, as if looking at a fool, and said casually, “Do you think I still have trouble sleeping?”

Just one sentence made Yang Jiu flush red.

Shu Nanxuan used to have poor sleep and always drank warm milk before bed, so Yang Jiu used this as an excuse to come over.

She wanted to see her but also cared.

Five years—a long gap formed over that time.

No matter how clearly she remembered, it was useless.

People change, things change.

Her self-assumed care was just unnecessary to Shu Nanxuan.

Yang Jiu pulled her hand back.

“Is that so? Then… sleep early…”

She turned, walking back heavily.

Shu Nanxuan watched her, feeling something weigh on her heart but said nothing to stop or fix it, just gently closed the door.
