90 Request

Yin Tao was a little hesitant. She really didn’t have anything pressing to do as she couldn’t help with the case at the police station right now. Furthermore, Lin Jia’s attitude and tone made it hard for her to refuse, so she could only accede to his request.

Lin Jia was pleased that Yin Tao accepted his invitation and drove her to a high-end western restaurant. Yin Tao felt that there was a gap between their understanding of a ‘simple meal’. This kind of restaurant didn’t look cheap at all.

Lin Jia was familiar with the menu and very quickly ordered a few dishes. He also specially ordered a dessert and fruit salad for Yin Tao before handing the menu to her.

“Little Sister Xiaotao, take a look. Is there anything else you need?”

Yin Tao ordered a glass of juice and returned the menu to the waiter.

“Little Sister Xiaotao, thank you for coming to dinner with me.” Lin Jia adjusted his glasses and continued, “Actually, I was going to contact you today.”

Yin Tao recalled the last time she met Lin Jia. He seemed to have said that he needed her help this weekend. “Is it about this weekend? I remember you mentioning it before.”

“Yes, I really can’t find anyone else to help me. I can only beg Little Sister Xiaotao to save me.” Lin Jia’s tone was relaxed, but he didn’t seem to be joking.

“Brother Lin Jia, you’re being too formal. If there’s anything you need help with, you can just say it.” Yin Tao didn’t know what Lin Jia needed her for.

“Thank you in advance, Little Sister Xiaotao.” The smile on Lin Jia’s face widened. “Feng Jing mentioned before that my grandfather’s birthday party is this weekend. I want to invite you to go with me. Is that okay?”

Yin Tao was a little surprised. It wasn’t a problem for her to attend Lin Jia’s grandfather’s birthday banquet, but Lin Jia’s attitude was a little strange. If it was just an invitation to a birthday banquet, there shouldn’t be a need for him to behave this way.

“It’s Brother Lin Jia’s grandfather’s birthday. I should go too.” Yin Tao knew that Feng Jing would definitely go if he could make it. However, the case in the station was a little tricky now and Feng Jing might not have the time.

“Actually, I want you to be my girlfriend.” Lin Jia’s tone was still calm, but Yin Tao’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Are you that unwilling?” Lin Jia looked at the shocked Yin Tao and explained with a smile, “Every time I go home, Grandpa will urge me to get married, so I want to ask little sister Xiaotao’s help to put up an act with me.”

Yin Tao then realized that Lin Jia wasn’t really confessing to her. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

“Isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Yin Tao wanted to help Lin Jia, but she still felt that it wasn’t appropriate to pretend to be his girlfriend.

“I have no choice. Grandpa has always been worried about me.” Lin Jia sighed helplessly. “After all, I’m already 30 years old. I really have no choice this time. If I don’t bring a girlfriend home, Grandpa probably won’t let me work anymore.”

Seeing that Yin Tao didn’t immediately reply, Lin Jia continued to persuade her, “Little sister Xiaotao, please help me. If you don’t save me this time, Grandpa will definitely arrange countless blind dates for me in the future.”

Yin Tao still had some misgivings. “Brother Lin Jia, will my brother be attending your grandfather’s birthday banquet as well? Everyone will misunderstand if we put up this act together, right?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. We’ll only pretend in front of Grandpa. I can explain to your brother.” Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao with anticipation. He only relaxed when Yin Tao nodded slightly.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll pick you up at the entrance of the police dormitory on the weekend morning.”

Seeing how happy Lin Jia was, Yin Tao could only smile and agree.

After the two of them finished their meal, Lin Jia sent Yin Tao back to the police station.

“Brother Lin Jia, I can carry this in myself.” Yin Tao saw that Lin Jia was helping her carry the things she had bought from the mall and wanted to take over.

“Let me walk you in. This is quite heavy. I’m worried about letting you carry it yourself.” Lin Jia didn’t pass the bags to Yin Tao. Instead, he carried the bags and walked beside her.

The two of them had just entered the police station when they saw Feng Jing walking towards them.

“Lin Jia, why are you here?” Feng Jing frowned slightly. He was clearly surprised to see Lin Jia accompanying Yin Tao.

“I’m just sending little sister Xiaotao back. Why? Do I have to apply for Captain Feng for permission to come to your police station?” Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao sympathetically when she saw Feng Jing’s black face. “Little sister Xiaotao, it’s really not easy for you. It’s hard for you to relax when you work with a person like this every day.”
