Chapter 95 - 95: If He's The King, Then My Man Is The Emperor And I'm The Empress

Sensing that Iris felt uncomfortable with the topic, Kim Eunji decided to not pursue the matter.

"Okay. I'm done. Let's go?"

However, before they could left, a group of guys came from the second floor with their trays of half-eaten food on it.

The group immediately approached Ling Bao and asked him, "Bro, why are you eating here? This is not our place? What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?" One of his male friend asked. He's friend 1.

However, Ling Bao remained indifferent and decided to ignore them.

He secretly threw a glance towards Kim Eunji's direction.

That's when the group realized the reason he was acting strange today.

"Oh! There's a beauty in here. Now I know why the King had to come out of his throne room and mingle with the commoners. It turned out that a beauty captivated his heart." Friend 2 began to tease.

Iris inwardly rolled her eyes upon hearing that.

What King? Then, if this Young Master was the King, his Master Boss was the Emperor and her Mistress was the Empress.

"Yeah right. No wonder." Friend 3 agreed with Friend 2's statement.

"Bro! You always have good eyes for excellent beauties. However, I'm afraid your queen counterpart would bully her. Such beauty...if she wished to be with you, she should be capable enough to stand and defend herself and not some damsel in distress." Friend 4 spoke righteously like an adviser to the King.

"Will you guys shut up! You're scarring her." Ling Bao reprimanded.

His friends didn't get the chance to attend the Jin party because they didn't accompany their parents to the party.

All they cared was their night life while having fun in the club surrounded with many girls snuggling in their arms.

However, Kim Eunji didn't pay them any attention.

Before she stood up, she adjusted her aura. Gone was the carefree and friendly Eunji that she had when she's having her meal earlier.

Now, she was wearing a cold and indifferent aura which made the students to have a  shiver down their spine.

She was secretly sending a message with everyone which was, 'Don't start with me peasants. I'm not someone you wished to offend.'

Iris who was standing behind her shiver a bit, too. Such a terrifying aura. Well, she was already used to experiencing being with someone who had a terrifying aura in her assignments in the past but no one surpassed her Mistress' well, except for her man.

She had heard of Nathan's terrifying aura but she had not experienced first. On the contrary, she had witnessed how soft Nathan could become with Kim Eunji around.

Iris soon recovered when she saw that Kim Eunji tapped her shoulder and calmly said, "Let' go."

"Okay." She meekly replied.

However, the group in front of her saw her actions quite rude. Therefore one of them tried to stop and block her way.

"Hey Miss beautiful, our Young Master Ling wanted to have your company. Why don't you sit in his table and accompany him a little bit? It would be a great honor for you." This guy was so dumb to not read the lines.

"Move." Kim Eunji calmly replied. However, instead of stepping aside to let her go, another friend also joined the fun on trying to bully her.

"Hey Miss. Your attitude right now was really disrespectful. Don't you think you would have a peaceful life if you would offend as here? Your pride won't bring you any good. Offending him means you had offended the entire student body."

Kim Eunji's eyebrows raised as she looked at the man who spoke just now.

Deep down, she inwardly sighed. She's too old for this childishness. She preferred not to waste her energy over such trivial matters.

"Mr. Ling, if I'm not mistaken, you wanted to be my friend, right? Well then, with the quality of people you're surrounding your self with, just don't bother considering becoming one."

Everyone gasped after she finished talking what's in her mind.

"You!" Ling Bao's friends suddenly became furious and wanted to teach her a lesson in an instant.

Seeing his friends about to surround her, Ling Bao yelled.

"Enough!" He then looked at his friends with a warning gaze which shocked everyone. He stood up and slowly approached Kim Eunji.

"I'm sorry Miss Kim if my friends offended you in a way. Their very over protective of me. Rest assured...this won't happen again. However, I would still be happy if Miss Kim would accept me as her friend. It would be a great honor." As he finished talking, Ling Bao then bowed down his head to express sincerity.

"What the hell's going on?" A female voice then rang inside the cafeteria.

Ling Bao turned around as his face turned cold when he saw who was coming.

"Lady Jin!" Everyone greeted her respectfully. However, she didn't mind them at all. Instead, she focused her attention on the woman she had grown to hate the most.

'Why is she even here?' She asked in her head. She really didn't like Eunji because her brother favored the latter more than her own sister. 'She must have seduced my brother!' Of course there's no other explanation she could find.

And because of this, she was stuck in this situation.

"Brother Bao? Why are you bowing your head in front of her? Aren't you afraid to ruin your reputation just because of that woman?" Jin Li Rong pointed her finger out to Kim Eunji.

"You! After you seduced my brother, you're now put here seducing my fiancé?"

Kim Eunji was stunned a little bit however it was then replaced by a beautiful smile.

"Oh, fiancé? I didn't know. I'm sorry Lady Jin if I caused a misunderstanding between you two." She honestly said but for Jin Li Rong, it looked like she was mocking her.

Iris face palmed herself. 'Mistress, how would you know when all your time these days were freely occupied by Master Boss?'

When Kim Eunji left the party, she didn't realize how big of trouble she had caused that night. The guests questioned the morals of the Jin Family. The Ling family was no exception either.

The guests who attended the party really thought to witness the fallout between families.

But who would have thought that the following morning, the announcement between the engagement between Jin Li Rong and Ling Bao occupied the news and even trended on line on SNS.

Of course, the Ling family was very angry. They were humiliated during the party. Because of this J had to step in.

A lot would be at stake of they would cancel the engagement. A lot of clients would withdraw from their company if they found out that the engagement between them and the Ling was no more.

This would also happen in the Ling family side.

To compensate them, Senior Master Jin gifted Ling Bao three percent of the company's shares. The amount might looked smaller but for the Jin Corp., the amount was already huge.

Jin Li Rong refused and begged her grandfather to broke off the engagement but her grandfather refused her. Her grandfather even blamed her for offending Kim Eunji first.

Her grandfather even threatened her that if she would keep on rebelling, she would be disowned by the Jin Family.

On the other hand, if Ling Bao won't agree to the engagement, his inheritance in the Ling family would be in danger as it would be given to Ling Qiao, his good for nothing cousin.

Now, Jin Li Rong was Ling Bao's fiancé. They were scheduled to marry after they graduated. Which would be two years from now.

However, Jin Li Rong's face darkened when she heard that Kim Eunji was not even aware of how big the trouble she had caused to them.

"You!" Jin Li Rong was so angry that her face turned red. But before she could even reach to her, Ling Bao immediately stepped in to stop her.

"Enough. Don't give me more reasons to hate you." Though he said that in a much lower voice, Jin Li Rong gulped when she felt his warning.

'Such a vixen!' She then looked at Kim Eunji with disdain.

Kim Eunji saw that but she decided to ignore her. Since she had no business with them, Kim Eunji reached out to Iris's hand and walked out together.

'You bitch! I would make your life here in hell!' Jin Li Rong vowed.

Kim Eunji and Iris walked on the hallway as if she didn't create a stir back inside the cafeteria.

Those who witnessed what had happened looked at her with pity.

She tried to 'seduce' Ling Bao and Jin Li Rong caught her on the act. Now her life in this school would be doomed. Majority of the students had the same thought since they didn't know Kim Eunji's identity.

Those students who attended the party and happened to know of Kim Eunji's identity as a Jin would not dare bring it in the open as they were afraid Jin Li Rong would come at them. So they decided to stay quiet. Also, they didn't know Kim Eunji's character yet. It's best to not offend both parties.

"Interesting." Kim Eunji smiled as she heard everyone's opinion about this matter.

'Seems like my wish to have a peaceful University life would never happen.' She thought.

'Bring it on!' She added.

Meanwhile, inside the cafeteria, Ling Bao who received a cold shoulder from Kim Eunji clenched his hand into a tight fist.

He did not finish his food and stormed out of the cafeteria which left everyone with a dumbfounded state.

Jin Li Rong followed afterwards and there he saw Ling Bao in his secret place inside the school.

He was hardly punching the wall and didn't care that his hand was already bleeding.

"Are you really that desperate to broke the engagement with me that you would dare to embarrass yourself and me in front of our school mates?" Jin Li Rong spoke which made Ling Bao to halt from what he was doing.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in hostility.

"Why shouldn't I be here? Look at how pathetic you could get. She only ignores you and now you're acting like a five-year old kid. Pathetic." Jin Li Rong criticized his behavior not expecting that the latter won't be happy with her remarks

Ling Bao suddenly got angry and snapped at her. He grabbed her chin harshly and held it tightly.

"Come again?!" Jin Li Rong was shocked by his violent behavior. She heaved a sigh when she thought it was a good thing she had stopped fantasizing about him days ago.

"You're hurting me!" She finally managed to say it.

Ling Bao let go of her chin harshly and she stumbled on the ground.

"Call me pathetic again and you'll receive much more than that!" He warned.

However, instead of being angry, Jin Li Rong hysterically laughed.

Therefore, Ling Bao eyes her suspiciously.

"Alright. I get it. You really like her even though she rejected you back there at the party."

This time Ling Bao did not answer but instead sat on the bench.

"Sadly, we got engaged together. Don't get the wrong idea. I don't like this arrangement as well. However, I have no choice since grandfather would disown me if I'd refuse this. I believe the same thing goes to you too."

"What are you trying to say." Ling Bao immediately cutted the chase.

"Well, it's simple. I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?" Jin Li Rong proposed which immediately got Ling Bao's interest.

Jin Li Rong immediately told him what she wanted to do and right then, a smile flashed in his face.

"Is it a deal?"

"As long as you won't get overboard with your moves, it's a deal."

Then the two shook their hands to seal the deal.
