"No way, if this keeps going you’ll end up killing me."
Looking at Ni Baige’s anxious expression, Chen Bin couldn’t help but laugh.
Actually, he just wanted to scare her a bit and didn’t plan on doing it again.
Holding Ni Baige, Chen Bin asked, "Are you not planning on going home for the New Year this year?"
She retorted, "Do you think I’ve been successful now?"
Ni Baige had a lot of exposure before but could never become really popular.
After some discussion, Chen Bin arranged for her to have her own album made.
The album production team was the best in the country, costing a lot of money.
However, the response was still mediocre.
This left Chen Bin and the people at Foodie Media confused, not understanding why Ni Baige couldn’t become famous.
Regarding this, Ni Baige herself was also very frustrated.
She even started doubting her own abilities, thinking she wasn’t suited to be a pop star.
Planting a kiss on Ni Baige’s cheek, Chen Bin said earnestly.
"I promised I’d make you famous, and I will. This year I’m planning a big singing competition, and then everyone will get to know you again. There definitely won’t be any problems this time."
"Sigh, if participating in the singing competition still doesn’t improve things, I’m going to quit."
"Don’t say things out of frustration, some things take time."
Staring intently at Chen Bin, Ni Baige’s flushed face was full of determination.
"I’m not saying it out of frustration, if I’m going to do it, I want to be a top star, otherwise, I’ll go behind the scenes to be a music producer."
"Alright, I’ll respect your choice. But before that, I’ll still do my best to promote you."
Seeing Chen Bin’s sincere gaze, Ni Baige nodded slightly and lay back into his arms.
Despite Chen Bin having targeted her before, this man’s charm made it impossible for her to hate him.
On the afternoon before New Year’s Eve, Chen Bin called Xin Kalan into the office.
"I’ve invited Guan Kongcheng, and tonight we’ll have dinner at your place."
This surprised Xin Kalan a bit, "Why at my place?"
"This way we can show him how happy we are. Besides, I’m planning to have him be a mentor for the singing competition."
"If it’s business, we should eat out. I really don’t want him at my place either."
"Oh come on, don’t worry about it so much, just go with my plan."
Despite being a bit resistant, Xin Kalan nodded.
After all, since Chen Bin said so, it wasn’t easy for her to refuse again.
After Xin Kalan left, Chen Bin called Guan Kongcheng.
Actually, Guan Kongcheng didn’t really want to go to Xin Kalan’s place, first because of the identity issue, and second because Xin Kalan was now Chen Bin’s girlfriend; going there would only mean watching their affection show.
However, Chen Bin’s tone was very firm, and Guan Kongcheng had no choice but to agree.
After work in the evening, Chen Bin personally drove to the hotel to pick up Guan Kongcheng and go to Xin Kalan’s place.
Upon meeting, Guan Kongcheng greeted Xin Kalan politely.
The latter just gave a slight smile and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
"Kong Cheng, make yourself at home here, don’t be a stranger."
With that, Chen Bin, acting like the man of the house, walked straight into the kitchen.
He gently wrapped his arms around Xin Kalan’s slender waist from behind, "Darling, need any help?"
Xin Kalan glanced at Guan Kongcheng standing outside with the corner of her eye and replied softly.
"No need, once this dish is done, we can eat."
Seeing this, Guan Kongcheng clenched his fists, his mind filled with turmoil.
At this moment, he really regretted it.
If he hadn’t gone behind Xin Kalan’s back back then to find another woman, maybe things wouldn’t have ended up .
Once all the dishes were served, the three of them sat down.
Seeing the wine on the table, Guan Kongcheng immediately got up to pour a glass for Chen Bin.
As he was about to pour one for Xin Kalan, she covered her glass with her hand.
Guan Kongcheng paused for a moment and ended up pouring a glass for himself.
Seeing this, Chen Bin laughed and took the wine bottle.
"I apologize, I don’t know when Kalan picked up this strange habit. She never drinks wine poured by anyone else, only the wine I pour."
As he spoke, Chen Bin prepared to pour wine, and Xin Kalan cooperatively removed her hand.
Seeing this scene, Guan Kongcheng’s already sullen mood grew even more painful.
The dinner began, and the three of them ate and chatted.
Chen Bin proactively asked, "Kong Cheng, how’s your love life going? Any girl you fancy?"
Stealing a glance at Xin Kalan, Guan Kongcheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Not yet, ever since breaking up with my ex, I haven’t felt interested in any girls."
"That’s not good, you’re not getting any younger, you should hurry up with marriage. By the way, what’s your standard for choosing a girlfriend?"
"No specific standards, just need to feel a connection."
"In my opinion, you should find someone like Kalan. She’s not only beautiful but also has a great personality, you don’t find many women like her."
Upon hearing this, Xin Kalan frowned subtly.
Guan Kongcheng forced a bitter smile, "She’s so perfect, I probably won’t find anyone like her in this lifetime."
Unable to bear the atmosphere, Xin Kalan changed the subject.
"Honey, don’t forget about the singing competition judge thing."
"Oh right, you didn’t remind me, I almost forgot."
Chen Bin turned to look at Guan Kongcheng, "Kalan has recently planned a nationwide singing competition, with auditions starting in April. You have to make time to be a judge then."
After dinner, the two chatted casually for a while.
Guan Kongcheng was about to leave but was stopped by Chen Bin.
"There’s a guest room at home, and you’re not an outsider, just stay here tonight."
Xin Kalan really didn’t want Guan Kongcheng to stay, but since Chen Bin insisted, she chose to stay silent.
Guan Kongcheng initially wanted to decline, but seeing Chen Bin’s stern gaze, he reluctantly agreed to stay over.
After the three were done washing up, Chen Bin entered the room and gently parted Xin Kalan’s legs.
She seemed quite uneasy and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"
Chen Bin grinned mischievously, "You know exactly what."
Xin Kalan hurriedly restrained his hand, shaking her head repeatedly. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel·fire·net
"Not tonight, what if someone hears, it would be so embarrassing."
"Oh come on, why worry so much, it’s been a long time for us."
"No, I don’t want to tonight, let go of me!"
In truth, Xin Kalan wasn’t uninterested, she was just worried about Guan Kongcheng hearing.
Knowing the reason, Chen Bin didn’t argue and instead placed a hand on Xin Kalan’s White Jade Peak and began to massage gently.
Through the silky lace robe, her soft chest felt even more supple.
As his hands explored, Chen Bin was utterly enchanted.
Feeling his dominance, just as Xin Kalan was about to speak, Chen Bin kissed her deeply.
Inhaling his burning masculine scent, Xin Kalan’s mind went blank.
At this moment, all rationality, morality, worry, and fear were instantly overwhelmed by a blazing desire.
Her body gradually heated up, and all she wanted was to indulge.
Extending her pink tongue, she instinctively began to respond to Chen Bin...
