Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 315 The advantage is mine
"Never mind that, I'm just happy. Happy birthday!"

It felt so good to keep Yuan Ying in the dark. In any case, this girl was now completely his younger sister from now on, in every respect.

"Thank you, unnie! This dress is beautiful, I will wear it carefully."

Yuan Ying put the awkward feeling in her mind out of her head. Today, the girls in the debut group also had a short celebration for themselves, but it was just buying a cake and having a meal together.

"I'm so happy that I can eat Yoojin unnie's cake again tomorrow."

The youngest, Lee Seo, used to be a child model at SM Entertainment. She was much younger than Won Young and was a real child laborer. Of course, Won Young also came from that time.

"Even though the personnel have been finalized, we can't give up on managing your figure. You're the one I worry about the most."

Qiuqiu's appearance does resemble the maknae's somewhat. Yuanying even joked that they might be sisters. However, Li Rui probably looks quite sturdy because she is still developing.

"It's not easy for me and Yoojin unnie to celebrate our birthdays. Let's just consider it a bit of fun before our debut, because we won't be able to eat this kind of food again later!"

With their debut just around the corner, Wonyoung, having been through it all, shared some of the hardships of the early days of debut. Several trainees who hadn't debuted before perked up their ears, while Yoojin squinted his eyes and savored the rich aroma of cream with a spoon.

"I bet she won't be able to practice for long this afternoon; she'll definitely have to leave early."

An'an confidently made her judgment about Sister Qiutian. Although the girl was very good at pretending, An'an could see the trace of anxiety in her eyes when they looked at each other.

"I guessed so. I've been staring at my phone all morning, I must have something planned."

Autumn Sister's thinking is still very sharp. These two have been acting strangely around a man all along, and the relationship between Yuan Ying and this brother is anything but simple.

He's not even my biological brother, we're not related by blood at all, and there's a significant age gap between us, but the little girl's possessiveness sometimes almost overflows.

Youzhen can't even say it with words. You think he's just an ordinary neighbor brother? You're kidding me! It's only because he doesn't like to meddle that he's the one who likes to stir up trouble. That would be hilarious.

"What arrangements? She's just fooling you..."

Yoojin didn't say anything, but she was thinking to herself that when Yoojin called her "unnie" and gave her a gift, it really felt like they were sisters-in-law. Thinking about it made her quite excited.

"By the way, it's your birthday tomorrow. Do you have any plans for tonight? How about we go shopping together?"

Today, after celebrating Wonyoung's birthday, I'm already thinking about Yoojin's birthday tomorrow. As the eldest sister of the group, she's absolutely qualified. If Chen Shijun were to choose a leader, he would probably pre-select Qiuqiu.

"I plan to spend tomorrow with my family, so I'll go shopping another time. But thank you for your kindness, unnie."

For some reason, seeing this older sister made Yoojin want to pat her head, but such behavior was a bit too impolite. Besides, she had promised Kim Minju that Minju wouldn't be bullied by others, and she would keep her promise and not bully others.

"I see, that's certainly the case."

Qiu Tian smiled. It was perfectly normal to spend one's birthday with family. This guy had two older sisters, and as the youngest in the family, he was probably the one who was very much loved.

"Unnie! I love you! I'll celebrate your birthday before the end of the month!"

For some reason, both of these big little sisters like to pounce on people from behind. At least, Qiutian has suffered from this, feeling like she's been completely enveloped.

"It's good that you two thought of me, but don't forget about your debut. Don't overindulge even on your birthday."

The eldest sister's intention was to discourage him from indulging in gluttony, but An Gou blushed slightly and could only cling to his sister even more tightly. Yuan Ying, on the other hand, did not disappoint her two older sisters' expectations. She packed her things early and made an excuse to run away, with the same reason, of course: to celebrate her birthday with her family.

Yu-jin shrugged at Qiu-tian, making an expression as if she had known all along, not expecting that even the excuse was the same as her own.

……

“A senior figure in the industry sent Yuan Ying a bouquet of flowers, which I left at the front desk and brought over.”

Kim Ji-won, who had just gone out to pick up a package, was very curious. A company employee had suddenly stopped him and said that a very famous actress had sent Won-young a birthday gift and flowers.

I thought it was just a token of my appreciation, but it turned out to be such a big gift. I didn't expect Yuan Ying to have such a good friend in the industry.

When I first logged on, I searched on my phone and found out that he is more than ten years older than Yuan Ying, almost a generation apart. Could these two have some kind of friendship despite their age difference?
"Who is it? Let me see, is it Jung Eun-chae?"

This name was certainly familiar to Yuan Ying. Although a long time had passed since the last battle, the shadow of that battle remained in his heart.

Chen Shijun's affection for this woman was also evident to her; although she was older, she had a knack for charming people.

Age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. At over thirty years old, Jung Eun-chae is undoubtedly in the prime of her life, and Chen Shijun can see many of her appealing qualities.

But what exactly does this mean today? Is it a provocation? Probably not, that guy wouldn't be that stupid.

Because she was Chen Shijun's most beloved woman, she wouldn't do anything to offend him. If she did, that would be fine.

Yuan Ying didn't know how to make her reveal a weakness. This time, it was most likely a signal of goodwill from the other party, but this signal did not make her happy.

This only shows that the other party is still working towards what Chen Shijun expects. Chen Shijun might be very happy to know this, or he might already know it.

"He's a movie actor! I've seen him in 'The Guest' and 'The King: Eternal Monarch'."

"Yuanying, how did you meet her? You seem like you have nothing in common with her!"

"Yeah, that's right. It feels really strange. Has the dimensional barrier been broken?"

The other women didn't notice the unpredictable emotions on Yuan Ying's face. Instead, they assumed the actress was a good friend of hers. Although they were curious about how they met, it didn't seem so hard to accept.

Only Yoo-jin clenched her fist thoughtfully. She had known about Jung Eun-chae for a long time and had even run into her before. It seemed that she had not drifted away from Chen Shi-jun over time.

"The old are too old, the young are too young, the advantage is mine! The advantage is mine!"

Yu-jin did not choose to back down. Instead, she encouraged herself, like a poker player who was already at the gambling table and would never turn back.

"A friend...a friend..."

Faced with the chatter of the girls, Yuan Ying didn't know what to say. She couldn't very well say that she was her brother's lover, even though that was actually the case.

Yuan Ying casually placed the huge bouquet of flowers aside and decided not to respond to the other party's advances. No matter what, she would feel very unhappy as long as Chen Shijun stayed by her side.

Yuan Ying was somewhat afraid of these seemingly intelligent women, who rarely showed any flaws and basically made no mistakes.
