The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Changes to Take the Black Moonlight Script - Chapter 33.2

Take this time, for example. In the original story, the female lead and the white moonlight would have many confrontational scenes from their reunion to the shift in their stances, but it would still be part of the emotional tug-of-war phase.

It wasn’t until the female lead discovered that the acquisition case wasn’t as simple as it seemed and realized that the white moonlight returned not to save the Zhou family but to stop her from making a wrong decision.

The ambiguous push-and-pull and mutual hurt between them was instantly broken, and their feelings suddenly intensified.

The female lead realized that her hostility toward the white moonlight had been excessive and that she had done many things to misunderstand her. She resolved to change and began pursuing the white moonlight in earnest, entering the “chasing love crematorium” mode.

Thus, this is one of the most crucial turning points in the original story.]

Shang Shiqian asked with concern, “In the original plot, if the white moonlight hadn’t stepped in, would Wei Yixian have suffered losses in the acquisition case?”

[Absolutely, she would’ve suffered major losses!]

Shang Shiqian didn’t understand business matters. She scratched her head and asked, “Since the plot has progressed this far, does that mean the crisis has been resolved?”

[Is that the point here!? [So annoyed.JPG]]

“You’re the one who said this was an important plot point!”

The system: […]

[It’s impossible to predict the female lead’s next actions, but she should be more cautious now!]

Shang Shiqian sighed in relief.

“The white moonlight isn’t the white knight here to save the Zhou family but the white knight helping the black knight resolve the crisis…”

She picked up a black and a white chess piece, momentarily lost in thought. “No wonder she chose the white piece.”

The system was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan: [Why are you worrying about chess pieces now? You need to intervene quickly!]

Shang Shiqian was silent for a moment before asking, “Then what do you want me to do?”

The system was exasperated: [Of course, call her and urge her to come home!]

Shang Shiqian asked again, “And what position do I have to make that call?”

The system hesitated before answering uncertainly: [Caged Canary?]

“Between the Caged Canary and the white moonlight, who holds more weight in Wei Yixian’s heart?”

The system: […]

Shang Shiqian smiled. “See? You know the answer too.”

The system encouraged her: [You can’t just give up! What’s the motto of us Black Moonlights? To stop at nothing, to be unbound by ethics or morality, and to seize everything we want!]

“But I can’t help Wei Yixian in business. What she needs most is someone like the white moonlight someone who can support her at work and warm her heart in life, a true confidante. Isn’t that right?”

[How can you boost others’ morale while dampening your own? You must believe that no one in this world is more qualified than you to snatch her away from the white moonlight.]

“I know this one! I’m the legitimate ex-wife, the white moonlight is the illegitimate first love, and you, Little Black System, are the most devoted follower of the legitimate-illegitimate doctrine!”

The system: […Stop being ridiculous!]

Shang Shiqian didn’t want to argue with the system anymore. She changed the subject and asked, “If I do nothing, how much longer until the original story’s ending timeline?”

The system was so agitated that it emitted crackling static: [You still plan to do nothing?! Hmph, go read the original novel yourself. We don’t have much energy to begin with, and you’ve dragged me into this long conversation, it’s draining our reserves!]

With that, it petulantly went into hibernation.

Shang Shiqian: “…”

After a moment of thought, she flipped through the novel’s table of contents and soon found the answer in a chapter near the end.

The title of that chapter was, ‘521’ Means ‘I Love You.’

Wei Yixian’s birthday was May 21st.

In other words, there was still at least a year before the grand finale.

Shang Shiqian realized she didn’t need to agonize over it after all, she wouldn’t live to see the ending.

–

9:50 PM.

Wei Yixian’s car pulled into the underground garage.

This time, she didn’t enter through the main door but took the passage from the garage to the basement level.

The entertainment lounge was quiet. The projector was off, and there was no sign of Shang Shiqian studying chess manuals on the sofa.

On the table sat a nearly untouched glass of milk.

A maid on duty came downstairs at the sound of movement.

“Ms. Wei.”

Wei Yixian asked, “Where’s Shang Shiyu?”

“She should be asleep.”

“How long has she been upstairs?”

“Twenty minutes.”

Wei Yixian pressed her lips together. “She didn’t drink her milk.”

“Maybe she forgot.”

“Pour another glass and take it to her.”

After a pause, Wei Yixian changed her mind. “Never mind, go rest.”

With that, she headed straight upstairs.

A few minutes later.

Wei Yixian knocked on Shang Shiqian’s door, holding a glass of milk.

“Wei Yixian, you’re back?”

Wei Yixian frowned. “This is my home. Can’t I return? You seem surprised?”

Shang Shiqian forced a laugh. “I just meant, didn’t you say you’d be back very late?”

She had assumed that on such an important plot point, Wei Yixian would stay out all night deep in conversation with her white moonlight or something.

Wei Yixian understood immediately.
