Dong Weiguo exchanged looks with his other pals when they heard Yun Jian's aloof and short reply. See, the child who Ge Junjian's partner brought over was really reluctant to see her mother get together with Ge Junjian.

It was only a question but she refused to even answer them a complete "I'm 16 years old". How could the girl possibly show an attitude like this if she accepted the new marriage?

​​

"Haha, you're only 16 years old huh—what a gorgeous young lady. You're in junior high now, right?" Yu Shaoluo was younger, so he did not share the sentiment of Dong Weiguo and others.

The latter were considering that Ge Junjian was marrying for the second time and his soon-to-be spouse took along her family of a son and a daughter; if they got married, would the son and daughter be happy about it, throw a tantrum, or even pick trouble with Ge Junjian…

Yu Shaoluo, on the other hand, shared no such thoughts or concerns.

Seeing that Yun Yi kept a smile throughout the exchange, Dong Weiguo and a few others thought that he would not mind Qin Yirou and Ge Junjian's marriage. They were only concerned for their bro now at the sight of Yun Jian's aloof expression.

Moreover, she wore a pink top today that made her look like an exuberant teenage girl. 

Wearing the pastel pink top, the first impression Yun Jian gave was supposed to be a lively young girl, but her default distant mien made people feel like she was upset and seemed unhappy through the entire meeting.

That was why Dong Weiguo posed a question to her, trying to probe if she was really unhappy about Ge Junjian and Qin Yirou's union. Reasonably, if Yun Jian was unhappy about Ge Junjian marrying her mother, she would not act amiably with the man's colleagues as well.

"9th grade," Yun Jian was still giving short answers.

Speak less but act sharp—this was Yun Jian's usual mannerism. It was just that she would never imagine her character would make Dong Weiguo and others think that she disagreed to Ge Junjian and Qin Yirou's marriage.

"Why are you guys still lingering at the entrance? Catching some wind? Come on in, the dishes are ready!" Ge Junjian who had excused himself just now came back from the hotel's front desk and called them jokingly.

It was only then the group followed him into the hotel, exchanging pleasantries while they walked.

Since there were quite many of them, Ge Junjian had booked a bigger room with a huge dining table. Despite the higher number of guests, they could all sit down around the huge dining table.

The room was on the first floor and had a giant window that allowed them to see through it and watch the pedestrians and vehicles outside.

It was just a coincidence that Yun Jian sat facing the window with her eat against the corner of the wall. It made for a decent viewing spot of the scenery.

Just like Ge Junjian had said, dishes were served right after all of them seated themselves.

"Young lady, you said that you're in the 9th grade. Are you interested to study in our military school for senior high? You can become stronger and healthier in a military school and you could take a big man down with one hand upon graduating. Heh heh!" Yu Shaoluo had just sat down but was already trying to recruit Yun Jian.

Yun Jian was about to speak after deshelling a shrimp and gulping it down chewing it but Ge Junjian replied Yu Shaoluo on her behalf, "Right, Xiao Luo, I forgot to mention. After Xiao Jian finishes her high school entrance exam, I'm planning to enroll her in your military school."
