165: Chapter 165 Female Detective

"Mr. Qin, would I have the honor of inviting you and Miss Lin to dinner together?"

Emilia extended the invitation happily.

She wanted to thank Lin Xiaojin, and also wanted to bring herself closer to Lin Xiaojin.

More than anything, she wanted to be with Qin Ge.

Qin Ge shook his head, "Let's first take you to buy some clothes and change out of that mermaid dress you're wearing."

At this moment, Emilia was still wearing that azure mermaid dress, her curves graceful.

It wasn't that it didn't look good, it was just too formal and not suitable for daily wear.

Qin Ge pulled the obedient Lin Xiaojin into his arms and kissed her on the cheek, "And while we're at it, I'll take my Xiao Jin shopping too."

"Mm~"

Amidst Lin Xiaojin's whisper, which was as soft as a mosquito's hum, Qiao Yingzi drove the three of them to the commercial center nearest to the urban village.

After arriving, Qin Ge accompanied Lin Xiaojin shopping for a full hour before taking an excuse to leave when his phone vibrated on silent.

Inside the smoking room,

Qin Ge looked at the dozens of voice messages Guoguo had sent and chose to place a video call to Lin Wanrou.

As soon as the call connected, Guoguo's jade-carved, doll-like face filled the entire screen. She pouted her little mouth and muttered gloomily, "Daddy, when are you coming home?"

"Guoguo misses Daddy."

"Today is Guoguo's birthday. Mommy bought a cake. Can Daddy accompany Guoguo to celebrate her birthday?"

"Guoguo wants to celebrate her birthday with Daddy and Mommy."

The little girl actually had her own little secret thoughts hidden away.

She wanted to take a photo of the three of them together at her birthday, and then go to kindergarten to tell all the other children that she, Lin Guoguo, was also a child who had a daddy!

Lin Wanrou snatched the phone from Guoguo's hands. Looking at her slightly disheveled hair on the screen, she quickly tidied her appearance, brushing the strands of hair at her temples behind her ears, and said with a gentle smile, "Qin Ge, I'm sorry. I was cooking just now, and Guoguo took the phone to play with."

"If you have time, could you come over tonight to celebrate Guoguo's birthday with me?"

"If you don't have time, it doesn't matter."

She knew very well how prominent Company Name was nowadays.

As the chairman, Qin Ge must be incredibly busy.

She had originally been hesitating about whether inviting Qin Ge would disturb him.

But right now, looking at Qin Ge on the other side of the screen, and then glancing at the teary-eyed Guoguo beside her, Lin Wanrou ultimately couldn't resist extending the invitation.

Afterward, ripples appeared in her beautiful eyes as she waited with full expectation for Qin Ge's answer.

"I'm afraid I can't go to your place tonight."

As soon as Qin Ge finished speaking.

The expression on Lin Wanrou's face on the other side of the screen instantly fell. She forced a smile, enduring her sadness as she said, "It's okay, I know you're very busy."

Beside her, Lin Guoguo, who had been clamoring for her daddy, stopped talking as well.

Qin Ge changed the subject, "However, I have already prepared a birthday banquet for Guoguo. I will have Yingzi pick you up tonight."

"Ah? A birthday banquet?" Hearing this, the disappointed Lin Wanrou's beautiful eyes were filled with bewilderment. Immediately afterward, she felt both pleasantly surprised and worried, saying, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you? And it's just a birthday; inviting so many people, isn't it too extravagant and wasteful?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "I didn't invite anyone else. It's just you, me, and Guoguo—the three of us. It's just that I decorated a little."

"Regardless, this is the first birthday I'm spending with you and Guoguo. No matter what, it can't be too casual."

Lin Guoguo jumped up, snatched the phone from Lin Wanrou's hand, blinked her bright, large eyes, and looked at Qin Ge, asking curiously with a mix of surprise and joy, "Daddy, how did you know my birthday was today?"

Qin Ge smiled and played it off, "How could I possibly not know your birthday?"

How did he know Guoguo's birthday was today?

Isn't that just when Guoguo told him on the phone?

It was just setting up a birthday banquet; it didn't take much time!

After chatting a little longer with the excited Guoguo, Qin Ge made an excuse about having something to do and hung up the phone.

...

On the other side, Lin Xiaojin and Emilia saw Qin Ge coming from the direction of the restroom and quickly jogged over to him.

Following behind them was a woman wearing a baseball cap and a mask, with sunglasses covering her eyes—fully armed with gear.

Qin Ge had his arm around Lin Xiaojin, who had changed into a little white dress, her long legs straight and slender. He glanced at the fully armed woman in front of him and asked curiously, "Who is she?"

Lin Xiaojin shook her head, "She must be a scammer."

The fully armed woman lowered the brim of her cap, looked left and right, and said in a sweet, soft voice, "It's a misunderstanding, I'm not a scammer!"

"I just saw that the two of you have outstanding figures, appearances, and conditions in every aspect, so I wanted to invite you to join my company and star in a good script I have on hand."

Seeing that Lin Xiaojin and Emilia looked at her as if she were a scammer, the woman said in surprise, "Can't you recognize my voice?"

Lin Xiaojin shook her head, "Why would I recognize your voice? I don't even know you."

Emilia asked, puzzled, "Are you a talent scout?"

"Come with me!" The woman waved at Qin Ge and the others, then walked towards an empty stairwell. After closing the fire door, the woman finally took off her full disguise, revealing her exquisite, pretty face.

Looking at the pair of bright, large eyes in front of her, Lin Xiaojin felt they were somewhat familiar and muttered, "I feel like I've seen this face somewhere!"

Emilia shook her head, "Never seen it."

As a foreigner, apart from the special Qin Ge and the few people she had frequent contact with like Lin Xiaojin, other Dragon people all looked the same to her.

Qin Ge, however, looked at the pretty face in front of him and said in surprise, "Xu Shiyin!?"

When he was investigating the Third Senior Sister among the Seven Martial Sisters, he had learned a bit about the entertainment industry.

And Xu Shiyin was a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry who could not be ignored!

Looking at this national goddess in front of him, Qin Ge was somewhat surprised.

A dignified top-tier celebrity of the Dragon Country had actually become a stalking talent scout?

"My self-confidence was almost shattered!"

Xu Shiyin looked at Lin Xiaojin and Emilia, who didn't recognize her, then looked at Qin Ge gratefully and said bitterly, "Thank you for saving my self-confidence, which was on the verge of collapse."

Immediately, she looked at Lin Xiaojin and Emilia with a serious expression and said, "Whether you recognize me or not is not important. The point is that you now know I am not a scammer."

"The two of you have the most outstanding image and appearance conditions I have ever seen—without a doubt!"

"I happen to have a script that is perfect for you, which is the recently popular novel 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'!"

"The character Hua Zheng in it is very suitable for you, and Mu Nianci seems like it was tailor-made for you."

Xu Shiyin's gaze moved back and forth between Emilia and Lin Xiaojin, recommending them earnestly.

The Eagle Country native, Emilia, tilted her head, "Hua Zheng?"

Lin Xiaojin, whose family's TV needed a piece of pork placed on it to receive a signal, asked in confusion, "Mu Nianci?"

Qin Ge smiled and looked at Xu Shiyin, asking amusedly, "What about Huang Rong?"

Xu Shiyin said with a hint of embarrassment, "I will definitely play the lead role this time, but don't worry, as long as their acting skills improve, I will definitely have the best scripts for them to be the female leads, and I'll have the currently hottest male stars partner with them. I guarantee it will make them incredibly famous and become national goddesses!"
