Ex-Girlfriend Strategy (GL) - Chapter 34

This day felt like a dream, and the aftereffects were very obvious.

For the next week, Yang Jiu was immersed in that uncontrollable joy, always wanting to ask Shu Nanxuan to do something together.

Anything would do, just to be with her.

As long as they were together, there was a chance.

But the rejections from before made her less like a headless fly bumping into walls.

Now, she sent messages timidly, not daring to bother Shu Nanxuan too often for fear of annoying her.

Fortunately, even if she couldn’t create opportunities herself, someone placed one right in front of her.

On Friday noon, Yang Jiu was about to eat when she was suddenly notified of a business trip over the weekend to a coastal city.

The schedule was tight—after finishing work in the morning, she had to go home in the afternoon to pack and leave.

She didn’t even know the purpose of the trip or what she was going there for.

But Yang Jiu didn’t dwell on it.

In her line of work, business trips were routine, and urgent ones weren’t uncommon.

After packing at home, she met up at the airport.

There weren’t many people going, just three or four.

They landed around eight in the evening.

After arriving at the hotel, the accompanying staff handled check-in, and Yang Jiu was given a room key before everyone went to their rooms.

On the plane, Yang Jiu learned she was added at the last minute.

This trip was to discuss a project, and Shu Nanxuan had arrived a day early. At noon today, she called the project leader to request Yang Jiu join them.

The reason was that the trip was initially just to discuss intentions, but since both sides showed strong interest in cooperation, Shu Nanxuan planned to finalize the deal this time.

Yang Jiu was brought along specifically to review the contract.

The job wasn’t difficult; it just required care.

Pushing her suitcase, she found her room number.

When she swiped the key, she wondered why the accommodations were so luxurious this time, unlike previous trips.

When she opened the door, she saw Shu Nanxuan sitting inside, typing away at her computer, editing something.

She froze.

“President Shu?”

Shu Nanxuan turned her head, glanced at her, and, completely unsurprised by her arrival, greeted her calmly, “You’re here.”

Yang Jiu had to close the door and walk in.

“Um, they gave me the wrong key. I didn’t mean to open your door.”

“It’s not wrong. The hotel is fully booked, and you’re on this trip last minute. There are no extra rooms, so you’ll stay with me,” Shu Nanxuan explained.

“This is a suite with two rooms.”

“Oh…” Yang Jiu nodded, her tone half-relieved but still hanging.

Living together so unexpectedly made her heart race, but… reason told her she had to restrain herself and not let Shu Nanxuan feel the slightest discomfort.

“Not satisfied?”

“No.”

“Alright, did you bring your laptop? I’ll send you the files to review first.”

Shu Nanxuan’s all-business attitude, as if there was nothing more between them, made Yang Jiu feel like their day together was an illusion.

Yang Jiu: “Got it, President Shu.”

Heartless capitalist.

The pink bubbles in Yang Jiu’s heart burst instantly, and she obediently opened her laptop bag.

She took out her laptop, set it on the other side of the table, logged into the internal system, and carefully reviewed the files Shu Nanxuan sent.

When the person across from her quieted down, Shu Nanxuan lifted her face from behind the computer screen, glanced at the focused Yang Jiu, and curved her lips slightly.
