Ling Yu and Guo Kai’s expressions darkened at the same time as they coldly turned to Yang Junjun, "Anyone might buy high imitations, but the boss definitely wouldn’t." Just the net profits of their online company alone exceed a hundred million a year, and the boss owns more than just the online company. With her wealth, how could she possibly buy fake goods?
"I’m just saying, don’t get so worked up! Besides, it’s true there are many high imitations out there, and I’m just worried the boss might end up with a counterfeit," Yang Junjun said, lowering her head in a display of grievance. She didn’t understand why, given Song Yan Ning’s modest family background, Ling Yu and Guo Kai were so certain that the earphones bought by Song Yan Ning weren’t fakes.
Song Yan Ning smiled indifferently and picked up the wine glass in front of her, "Ling Yu, happy birthday to you!" She wouldn’t stoop to argue with a child, and since today was Ling Yu’s birthday, she didn’t want to put him in a bad mood either.
"Thank you, boss!" Ling Yu raised his glass to clink with Song Yan Ning’s. He had already decided that in the future, he wouldn’t have anything to do with Yang Junjun again.
Yang Junjun rolled her eyes at Song Yan Ning before lifting her glass, "Ling Yu, I’ll drink to you as well, happy birthday!" She had taken a liking to Ling Yu in Emperor Realm, and having seen him in person today, she had already decided to pursue a relationship with him.
"Thank you," Ling Yu said, raising his glass to touch Yang Junjun’s. Though he disliked Yang Junjun, at least he still had his manners.
Yang Junjun smiled sweetly and finished the drink in her glass.
"Boss, you’re going to start middle school next, right?" Yang Junjun asked, thinking of Song Yan Ning’s age. There were several years between her and Ling Yu, so the two of them together was unlikely, and in Emperor Realm, Song Yan Ning’s ship was with Wuji.
"Uh-huh," Song Yan Ning nodded indifferently.
"Boss, why don’t you skip a grade, so we can be together again?" Guo Kai suggested. With the boss’s intelligence, skipping a grade would be nothing to her.
"Right!" Ling Yu also nodded in agreement. He missed the days when he and the boss could eat together every day.
Yang Junjun secretly sneered. As if skipping a grade was that easy.
"It’s fine this way," Song Yan Ning said, preferring not to stand out. She liked things nice and simple. She had already reached the Golden Core Stage and didn’t know when she would find a way back to Demon World. So she wanted to take advantage of the time she had now to spend more time with her grandparents.
"My uncle works in the Education Bureau, if the boss really wants to skip a grade, I could help out," Yang Junjun offered, not believing that Song Yan Ning didn’t want to skip a grade but simply lacked the capability.
Song Yan Ning smiled faintly and shook her head, "Thank you, but no."
Ling Yu and Guo Kai turned to look at Yang Junjun with a trace of displeasure in their eyes.
After eating, everyone suggested they go to KTV to sing.
Song Yan Ning glanced at the time, "You guys go ahead, I won’t join you." It was already very late, and her grandparents were surely worried about her.
As soon as she had finished speaking, Song Yan Ning’s phone rang.
She looked at her mobile phone and saw it was Yang Lisheng calling. Song Yan Ning shook her head and chuckled, "Grandpa, I’m coming back now."
"Xiang is on her way to pick you up, be careful on the road," Yang Lisheng instructed worriedly. He had seen the news report too and was very concerned about Xiao Ning.
"Okay," Song Yan Ning replied, putting away her phone and looking at Ling Yu, "Let’s meet another day, I’m going back now."
Ling Yu and Guo Kai nodded, "See you, boss!"
Glaring at the receding figure of Song Yan Ning, Yang Junjun turned to look at Ling Yu, "Ling Yu, could you give me a ride home tonight? I’m scared to go back alone."
"I’ll get the driver to take you home," Ling Yu said, before walking away with Guo Kai towards the KTV.
Yang Junjun stamped her foot in frustration and followed Ling Yu and Guo Kai. She was determined to win Ling Yu’s affection. Compared to Song Yan Ning, she had spent far more time with him.
