Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure

Yang Kaikai added, "And she even seems more beautiful now, the kind of beauty that seems to grow as time goes by."

Qi Bai also sighed a little. "Yeah! With a face like that, if she doesn’t go on the big screen, it’s really such a waste. That kind of face is just perfect for those noble, luxurious roles."

Why had Qi Bai gone to Huo Jinyan for the role of the young emperor in "Power and Seduction," and picked him at first sight? It was because Huo Jinyan naturally carried that air of aristocratic luxury. Otherwise, if someone else had played it, the effect would’ve been way worse. That kind of aura isn’t something just anyone can have.

"But she probably really doesn’t like this line of work! I heard that back then, the director invited her partly because he could give a role to their studio, and it was even the second female lead. She would’ve had quite a lot of scenes," Yang Kaikai said.

Qi Bai listened and didn’t say anything, just looked thoughtful.

It was just that they didn’t know whether she’d be willing or not.

As for whether Lu Xingzhi knew about their little discussion, at this moment, the two of them, as husband and wife, had already picked up Huo Jinyan and were heading back to the Capital City together.

"So, Third Brother, Little Zhi Liao, are you two really taking care of me? Why do I feel like my condition’s getting worse?" Huo Jinyan honestly wanted to roll his eyes.

"What did your Third Brother and I even do?" Lu Xingzhi asked blankly.

"I don’t want to sit in the same car as you two." Huo Jinyan felt that being injured was already miserable enough, and now he was being forced to sit here and eat dog food.

"Then you want to sit in the same car as that Screenwriter Qin?" Huo Jincheng shot back.

Huo Jinyan: "..."

He coughed twice, a bit unnaturally. "What are you talking about? There’s nothing going on between us."

"Nothing?" Huo Jincheng let out a cold laugh. "People who are ’clean’ go and block machinery for someone else? That’s some real ’nothing’ you’ve got there."

"Back then, no matter who was standing there, I would’ve blocked it," Huo Jinyan said in a righteously noble tone. "As a man, and a gentleman at that, there’s nothing wrong with what I did."

"Heh..." Huo Jincheng just gave him another cold laugh.

I totally don’t buy your crap.

"Saying that, where does that put your brother?" Lu Xingzhi chimed in. "Are you saying your brother wouldn’t have done that? So your brother’s not a gentleman?"

Huo Jinyan: "..."

Forget it, he couldn’t win against this couple.

He’d better just keep quiet.

"Honey, don’t be so hard on Jinyan. After all, with things like this, Jinyan and that lady screenwriter aren’t even together yet, so it’s hard to say anything," Lu Xingzhi glanced at the wounded soldier Huo Jinyan, then at Huo Jincheng.

"True," Huo Jincheng nodded in agreement.

"Now that’s just wrong! Do I look like someone who can’t handle a woman? As long as I feel like it, there are plenty of women lining up to throw themselves at me," Huo Jinyan said smugly. "Third Sister-in-law, you just don’t get me. You don’t know that I once..."

Lu Xingzhi deliberately cut him off. "You once dated enough men to fill a whole mahjong table?"

"Naughty," Huo Jincheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Huo Jinyan: "..."

Are we really never going to let this joke die?

"Third Sister-in-law, this is a personal attack, you know! You can say a whole mahjong table of women, I could admit that for a second, but a whole table of mahjong tiles—I’m not owning up to that."

Huo Jinyan was never going to deny that he had a dating history.

Isn’t that what normal guys have?
