Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 29

The food wasn’t on the table yet, but the kitchen filled with the rich aroma of pork rib soup.

Shu Nanxuan’s stomach, which wasn’t hungry before, now felt hungry.

Yang Jiu’s cooking skills seemed to have improved.

When they lived together, Yang Jiu’s cooking was already good, but now it seemed even better.

Shu Nanxuan couldn’t help licking her lips and asked Yang Jiu, “How much longer until it’s ready?”

Yang Jiu curved her lips, smiling as she asked, “Hungry?”

“Yeah…” Shu Nanxuan touched her stomach, swallowed, and answered honestly.

“Soon. Give me the garlic and go out first. The kitchen gets smoky when I stir-fry.”

Shu Nanxuan peeled the garlic slowly.

By the time Yang Jiu finished cutting and preparing the vegetables, she was done.

Yang Jiu took the garlic from her, “The dish will definitely taste good today with the garlic the boss peeled.”

Shu Nanxuan’s ears felt warm. After handing over the garlic and leaving the kitchen, she closed the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, Shu Nanxuan paused.

It was an old habit.

Whenever Yang Jiu cooked and she went to make trouble, Yang Jiu would shoo her out and tell her to close the door.

Today, Yang Jiu didn’t say anything, but she still closed the door out of habit.

Shu Nanxuan walked back to the sofa and sat down.

She heard the hum of the range hood in the kitchen, and her thoughts drifted back to their college days.

“Yang Jiu, you’re so good at cooking. I wonder who’ll marry you,” Shu Nanxuan said, hugging Yang Jiu’s waist from behind in an envious tone.

Yang Jiu flipped her wrist, completing a deft wok toss, and played along, “Yeah, I wonder who’ll be so lucky.”

“So who do you want to marry?” Shu Nanxuan rested her chin on Yang Jiu’s shoulder, tilting her head to ask.

Yang Jiu’s face showed a thoughtful expression, as if the question was hard to answer, “Hmm…”

As she pretended to think, a sharp pinch came at her waist, “Ow, it hurts, it hurts! Okay, I’ll marry you, I’ll marry you.”

Shu Nanxuan loosened her grip, “Hmph, that’s more like it. You actually had to think about it.”

Her pouty look was a bit cute. Yang Jiu turned and kissed her face, “Wasn’t I just playing along with you?”

“Hmph…”

“Okay, okay, don’t be mad, be good…”

Yang Jiu’s lips messily kissed Shu Nanxuan’s face a few times, making her squeal, back away, and then chase for more kisses.

“Ah, stop, I’m not mad, I’m not mad,” Shu Nanxuan’s face flushed as she begged for mercy.

Yang Jiu stopped, checked the dish in the pan, and flipped it a few times, “But seriously, I should be the one marrying you.”

Shu Nanxuan’s already red face grew redder, her tone proud and bold, “No way, I’m the one marrying you.”

“Alright, alright, whatever you say. You marry me, you marry me,” Yang Jiu washed a plate and served the dish, “But you can’t bully me later.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely treat my wife well.”

“Take it out…”

…

Yang Jiu opened the kitchen door, carrying a plate of stir-fried lettuce, “Boss, come eat.”

“Okay…”

Three dishes and one soup. Yang Jiu first served Shu Nanxuan a bowl of pork rib soup, “Have some soup first.”

Shu Nanxuan took the bowl and sipped. The pork’s aroma mixed with the sweet corn and the refreshing winter melon.

One sip opened her appetite.

“Is it good?”

Shu Nanxuan deliberately kept a straight face, “It’s okay.”

Yang Jiu saw through her pretense and chuckled softly, “Then I’ll have to trouble the boss. I’ll try harder next time to make it better.”

“Yeah, keep trying.”
