Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 25

Shu Nanxuan finally came to see her, and Yang Jiu didn’t want to talk about work.

She wanted to find something else to say.

The words came out without thinking, “Did you eat breakfast?”

After speaking, she looked at Shu Nanxuan as if expecting her to say she hadn’t eaten so they could have breakfast together.

Shu Nanxuan heard her words and looked at her like she was looking at a fool.

Only then did Yang Jiu realize what she had said.

She hurriedly tried to fix it, “Did you eat lunch?”

Her behavior was completely unlike usual.

Shu Nanxuan felt her decision to come over was a mistake.

She closed her laptop, “If you’re not convenient now, we can talk on Monday.”

As she spoke, she started to stand up to leave, but in the moment she stood, she was pressed back down, “No, I’m convenient, convenient.”

Seeing Shu Nanxuan about to leave, Yang Jiu no longer clung to avoiding work talk.

Talking about work was fine.

Talking about work at home was better than talking in the general manager’s office, right?

She went to get her computer and placed it next to Shu Nanxuan. She opened the email sent last night.

“I’m serious. I’m not an unreasonable boss. I won’t force you to work on weekends,” Shu Nanxuan said while watching her open the computer.

“And I feel your state doesn’t seem suitable for talking about work.”

“Really, there’s no problem. I like working for you,” Yang Jiu said, opening a document.

“I was just a bit nervous earlier. I’m fine now.”

“Nervous?” Shu Nanxuan asked with some confusion.

They dealt with a lot of work matters together.

She hadn’t seen Yang Jiu nervous in their usual meetings.

Most of the time, Yang Jiu spoke confidently.

Besides, as a top lawyer, someone who had navigated tense situations countless times, saying she was nervous sounded absurd.

Though, last night when they met downstairs, she did seem a bit nervous.

Yang Jiu didn’t hide it and explained, “This is the first time in years we’ve been alone together at home.”

Shu Nanxuan hadn’t expected this reason.

She didn’t know how to respond.

Before coming over, she hadn’t thought much about it.

She genuinely just wanted to discuss the details of the regulations that needed revision.

Now that Yang Jiu said this, she felt a slight unusual atmosphere between them.

She could only let out a dry “oh” as a response.

Perhaps because Yang Jiu’s words changed the atmosphere, she faintly smelled a hint of shower gel fragrance, very refreshing.

It smelled nice.

Shu Nanxuan’s body stiffened.

She straightened her back, making herself appear more proper.

She remembered the night she got drunk and was brought to Yang Jiu’s house.

Her memories before going home were clear.

She still recalled how she teased Yang Jiu.

The way Yang Jiu looked at her last night was still vivid.

But… wasn’t she the one who should be shy now?

Why was she feeling embarrassed?

Having been a boss for so long, she could summon her confidence instantly.

She relaxed again, “What? You get nervous being with me?”

“Nervous,” Yang Jiu said.

“Why nervous?”

—Why? Of course, it’s because when I see you, I want to kiss you. When I see you, I want to touch you. I want to do even more.

—But I can’t do anything now. I’m afraid if I lose control, I’ll scare you away.

Of course, she could only think these words in her heart.

She didn’t dare say a single one out loud.

“I’m afraid my proposal won’t be approved by the boss, and you’ll deduct my salary.”

Shu Nanxuan quietly rolled her eyes in her mind.

Hypocrite.
