"You did pretty well today." Yan Xiaobao gave Ye Shanshan a once-over and said, "You've made some progress over the last few days. Keep working harder, and you'll soon be officially promoted."
"Still have to keep working hard..." Ye Shanshan pouted and said, "Well, you have to show some appreciation today. At least have dinner with me or watch a movie, okay?"
"Fair enough."
"By the way, two of my old classmates invited me to dinner tonight," Yao Hongtao said as he extended the invitation to Yan Xiaobao and Ye Shanshan, "Why don't you guys join us?"
"Your old classmates invited you; it might not be appropriate for us to tag along," Ye Shanshan wanted some alone time with Yan Xiaobao to speed up her official promotion as the "real concubine."
