Chapter 259: Won't His Girlfriend Be Jealous?

"Is that so? Actually, it's nothing. It's normal for you young people to be busy with your careers."

Su Xiuya gave a dry laugh, it seemed she really thought too much.

If Tang Bingyan wasn't Xu Tian's girlfriend, Xu Tian probably wouldn't have introduced them to her.

"I'm really sorry, Bingyan and I have both been too busy lately."

Xu Tian scratched his head and gave a dry laugh: "We should have taken the initiative to go see you with gifts."

"What gifts? We aren't that kind of old-fashioned people. We don't care about those traditional etiquette rules. It's enough if you and Bingyan can come home for a meal when you have time."

Su Xiuya still had a sense of propriety, knowing that she was only Xu Tian's godmother, so she didn't ask too many complicated questions during the first meeting.

"Bingyan, where do you work? How did you meet Xiao Tian?"

"Bingyan is currently working at the Yan Group..."

Before Tang Bingyan could answer, Xu Tian took over the conversation: "As for how we met, that's a long story..."

He couldn't tell Su Xiuya that he was forced into marriage by Tang Bingyan the moment they met, right?

"Yan Group..."

Yan Jinsong, who had been silent and drinking tea, suddenly spoke: "It's a company with good prospects."

Xu Tian had just picked up his cup to take a sip of water, and almost choked when he heard Yan Jinsong's words.

He didn't know if he was clear about the relationship between Tian Feng Entertainment and the Yan Group, but looking at his reaction, at least his evaluation of the Yan Group was still quite good.

The meal was finished without any danger, and there was no awkwardness. Moreover, Su Xiuya was very satisfied with Tang Bingyan, and kept urging Xu Tian to bring her back for meals when he had time before leaving.

As for Tang Bingyan's performance, she was always calm, and her attitude towards Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong wasn't as distant and cold as when she treated the Xu family members initially.

Perhaps Tang Bingyan had long seen that there was something wrong with the Xu family, only he had been kept in the dark, and stupidly believed that Xu Rixin and the others really treated him as family.

After returning to the villa, Tang Bingyan took Xu Tian directly to the study.

"Wife, it's so late, you're not allowed to work anymore."

Xu Tian followed Tang Bingyan behind, confused, but heard the sound of her locking the door.

Just when he was puzzled, Tang Bingyan walked to a wall and tapped it rhythmically a few times. To his surprise, there was an extra hidden compartment on the wall.

Tang Bingyan took out a box from the hidden compartment, opened the box, and took out a token from inside. Looking closely, the token was engraved with a phoenix pattern.

Tang Bingyan handed the token to Xu Tian.

"What is this?"

"With this token, you can mobilize a portion of the forces and let them follow your command."

Tang Bingyan explained: "But this portion of the forces only owes allegiance to me. However, after seeing the token, they will still follow orders. But you can only use this token five times, so you must use it in critical moments."

Xu Tian took the token with a complex gaze. Was Tang Bingyan going to let him come into contact with her own connections?

In his previous life, he knew that besides the Tang family's forces, Tang Bingyan had death squads that only took orders from her alone. These people had mysterious identities and wouldn't easily appear unless something major happened.

The existence of this portion of the forces was probably unknown even to A Wei by her side.

But she actually gave him the token that could mobilize this portion of the forces now...

Xu Tian rubbed the complex patterns on the token, suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.

However, before he could speak, Tang Bingyan opened another hidden compartment next to it and took out another box.

Then, she took out a bracelet from the box.

The workmanship of this bracelet was even more ancient and complex than that token. Tang Bingyan held the bracelet and was silent for a moment before putting it on Xu Tian's wrist.

"This bracelet can also mobilize certain forces, but with your current state, you don't have the ability to make them all owe allegiance to you. So, before you are strong enough, don't take over this portion of the forces for the time being."

Tang Bingyan's tone was methodical, but the calmer she was, the uglier Xu Tian's face became.

"During this period of time, I will do my best to clear obstacles for you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can also ask me."

"Tang Bingyan!"

When she finished saying these words, Xu Tian's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

He put the token and the bracelet back into the box in the compartment, and then said to the cold and beautiful woman in front of him with a serious expression.

"I don't need these. I don't need any forces or power!"

Tang Bingyan frowned tightly, and the light shining in her eyes also dimmed bit by bit.

Sure enough, he was still rejecting her, right?

Although Xu Tian had acted as if he had let go of all grudges during this period, she should have known long ago that it was impossible for him to accept her...

She looked at the token and bracelet she had carefully put into the hidden compartment, and a sharp stinging pain came from the weakest corner of her heart.

However, Xu Tian suddenly hugged her at this moment.

"Tang Bingyan, you listen to me!"

Xu Tian said in her ear with a voice that was almost gnashing his teeth: "I don't need any power. Even if I become rich and powerful, what's the point? If I don't have you, everything is meaningless!"

Tang Bingyan raised her head in astonishment, but her vision suddenly went dark.

Xu Tian held her face, and a sweeping kiss came over.

In a trance, she also reached out and wrapped her arms around Xu Tian's waist. Just when the breath in her mouth was about to be plundered, she heard the man say again.

"Tang Bingyan, you are not allowed to die. You have to stay with me for a lifetime."

Her body trembled suddenly, and her dim black eyes seemed to light up with sparks again, and then her consciousness was swept away by the storm once more.

If possible.

I also want to stay with you for a lifetime.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Xu Tian was hugging Tang Bingyan and sleeping soundly, but the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Xu Tian was worried about waking Tang Bingyan, so he pressed the answer button without looking at the caller ID.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" It was a woman's voice, deliberately pinching her throat to speak.

"Nie Jingjing, you had better have something important to find me for." Xu Tian recognized the voice on the other end and asked through gritted teeth.

"Uh... I have nothing to do... I wanted to find you to chat..."

Nie Jingjing said aggrievedly: "Do you still remember that you are my manager! You just signed a contract with me and started to let me fend for myself. Do you understand what it means to start with love and end with abandonment?"

Xu Tian: "..."

What kind of nonsense is this?

"Mr. Xu? Why aren't you talking?"

Nie Jingjing realized belatedly: "I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"What do you think?" Xu Tian asked coldly: "What time is it now?"

"Two o'clock, nightlife has just begun!"

Nie Jingjing's biological clock was at a time of high spirits: "You went to sleep at two o'clock? That's too health-conscious, isn't it?"

"Hanging up."

"Don't, don't, don't..."

Nie Jingjing shook her head in a panic: "I also have serious business."

"Speak quickly." Xu Tian turned his head to look at Tang Bingyan beside him, and breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, he hadn't woken her up.

Tang Bingyan was a light sleeper to begin with; if she were woken up, it would be very difficult for her to fall back asleep.

"Mr. Xu, as my manager, don't you think you've arranged too little work for me?"

Nie Jingjing held her phone in one hand and drew circles resentfully with the other: "People on the internet are mocking me for being washed up and unable to get any announcements!"

"Have you finished the fifty basic vocal lessons I signed you up for?" Xu Tian asked.

"No..." Nie Jingjing immediately changed the subject when she heard about lessons: "Manager, my market value is very high; it must be utilized every second. You never arrange work for me, so not only can I not make money, the company can't make money, and even you, the manager, won't have any money to share!"

"Look at the artists you have in your hands, Murong Xue and me. Her monthly announcement fees don't even add up to what I earn from one event. You only arrange work for her but don't connect me to any; aren't you being a bit biased?"

"Finish the vocal lessons first, then we'll talk."

Xu Tian shook his head helplessly; this Nie Jingjing never had a day where she was settled.

"Wait, you haven't forgotten about the party I invited you to earlier, have you?"

"No." Xu Tian supported his forehead; he had indeed promised Nie Jingjing earlier that he would go.

But that was also because she was too noisy; in order to have some peace and quiet, he had no choice but to sacrifice a little private time.

"Then I'll call Murong Xue along too. I count as her peer anyway. With her goody-two-shoes personality, not going out to socialize all day, she's going to be at a disadvantage in the entertainment industry."

Xu Tian actually agreed with this point as well.

In the open entertainment industry, Murong Xue was indeed too well-behaved.

But Nie Jingjing was too rebellious and loved causing trouble too much.

These two people actually didn't give him much peace of mind.

"Mr. Xu, are you still listening?"

Nie Jingjing thought of the short video she had just scrolled through and said in a "manipulative woman" manner: "People are calling big brother so late, big brother's girlfriend won't be jealous, will she, big brother?"
