CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 527: DO YOU LIKE HER?

Just as their lips were about to touch, the sound of the door opening suddenly interrupted them.

Chen Bin was about to get up, but Liao Ruoli pulled him back down.

In the end, though, he still struggled to his feet.

Liao Ruoji walked into the room, her face lighting up when she saw Chen Bin.

"Wow, why are you back so early today?"

"There’s no live broadcast at the station, so I decided to come home for dinner."

Nodding, Liao Ruoji immediately headed into the kitchen to start cooking.

Chen Bin pulled Liao Ruoli over to the couch and asked her,

"Ruoli, do you know any famous architectural designers?"

"I do, why?"

Before the words finished leaving her mouth, Liao Ruoli wrapped her arms around Chen Bin’s neck and kissed him hard.

"We’re planning to build a new station, and we need a designer to help turn the TV station into a landmark building."

"Top designers are usually expensive. Are you okay with that?"

"I’m expecting the area to cover about 200 acres, and I want the style to be a fusion of Eastern and Western. Roughly how much would that cost?"

"I can’t say for sure. How about this—I’ll help you inquire, and I’ll let you know as soon as I hear something."

"No problem!"

With that, the two began passionately kissing again.

After all that, Chen Bin walked into the kitchen to help Liao Ruoji with dinner prep.

After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room chatting for a while before the Liao sisters each returned to their own rooms.

Chen Bin had just laid down on the couch when he suddenly heard Liao Ruoli’s pained cry.

"Ah, it hurts... my stomach hurts so much!"

Rushing to the guest room, Chen Bin saw Liao Ruoli clutching her stomach and writhing in pain on the bed.

He hurriedly asked, "Ruoli, what’s wrong?"

"My stomach hurts so bad, I feel like I’m dying."

At that moment, Liao Ruoji ran out of the master bedroom as well.

"We have some antacids at home, I’ll go find them."

But Liao Ruoli quickly protested, "It’s my stomach, antacids won’t help!"

"Forget it, I’d better take you to the hospital."

Since Liao Ruoli’s clothes were still neat, Chen Bin carried her and ran straight to the door.

Liao Ruoji initially wanted to go with him, but her nightgown made it unsuitable for her to step outside.

"Brother Bin, which hospital are you heading to? I’ll come find you there."

Before Chen Bin could respond, Liao Ruoli hurriedly intervened.

"Sis, just stay home for now. If it turns out to be something serious, I’ll have him contact you."

"Well... alright then."

Carrying Liao Ruoli to the parking lot, Chen Bin immediately located Ma Juan’s Audi and placed her in the passenger seat.

After buckling her seatbelt, he quickly got into the driver’s seat.

As soon as the car drove out of the neighborhood, Liao Ruoli turned her head back to glance behind them a few times, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally shook off my sister. She’s so annoying!"

Chen Bin exclaimed in shock, "You’re fine?!"

Turning to her, he repeated in disbelief, "You’re fine?!"

"Of course! How else was I supposed to get rid of my sister?"

"You’re unbelievable. You almost scared me to death back there."

"I had no choice. My sister keeps watching the two of us. A little trickery was the only way to escape her."

Saying this, Liao Ruoli looked at Chen Bin with an expression of gleeful triumph.

"I must say, your performance just now was very satisfying. Let’s find a hotel right away, and I’ll reward you properly."

Hearing her words, all of Chen Bin’s anger instantly evaporated.

His mind began to wander with excitement.

Driving to a nearby hotel, he booked a room with a king bed and then called Liao Ruoji.

"Ruoli’s got acute gastroenteritis and is on an IV drip right now. You should just go to bed; no need to come to the hospital."

After hanging up, Chen Bin entered the hotel room and pressed Liao Ruoli onto the bed in an embrace.

Following another round of heated kissing, he pulled down his pants and unleashed his burning passion.

Just as he began rubbing against her through her panties, a soft yet sharp voice interrupted him.

"What, did you forget our ground rules?"

"Didn’t you say you’d reward me?"

"A reward’s a reward, but rules are rules. How about... I use my mouth for you instead?"

"No way. I just want to go all the way."

Shaking her head, Liao Ruoli replied with righteous firmness.

"I can give myself to you, but only if your performance is good. If not, then you’ll never set foot inside me."

A surge of anger shot through Chen Bin, his voice turning icy.

"What, do you plan on staying a virgin forever?"

Liao Ruoli’s personality was the exact opposite of her sister Liao Ruoji’s—she was outwardly fiery but inwardly reserved.

Although she had dated two boyfriends before, the farthest she had gone with them was a kiss.

So even now, in her thirties, her first time was still intact.

Hearing Chen Bin’s remark, she too became furious, immediately kicking him off the bed.

"Get lost!"

Without saying a word, Chen Bin silently got up from the floor, dressed, and left the room.

Liao Ruoli lay on the bed, fuming, her anger still simmering.

She truly couldn’t understand what was so great about that kind of thing. Did people think they’d die without it?

After pondering a while, she ultimately placed all the blame on Chen Bin.

That man was so petty and completely lacked gentlemanly demeanor!

Chen Bin drove straight to Lu Cailian’s place. After an intense night together, the two headed to the provincial TV station in the morning.

Around 10 a.m., the phone on the station chief’s desk rang.

Answering it, Chen Bin asked flatly, "What is it?"

"Mr. Chen, there’s a man named Wu Jian here—he says he’s Wu Jie’s father and he’d like to meet you."

After some thought, Chen Bin replied, "Alright, bring him up."

Not long after, Wu Jian was brought to the office by a staff member.

Upon seeing Chen Bin, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted him.

"You must be Mr. Chen. Such a young and talented leader."

Chen Bin merely glanced at him coldly, showing no friendliness.

"Say what you have to say. I’m busy."

Wu Jian let out an awkward laugh. Since Chen Bin didn’t offer him a seat, he could only remain standing at the desk.

"Mr. Chen, I know you greatly appreciate our Xiao Jie. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have let her host such high-profile galas twice in a row. I was wondering if you might give her another chance to work at the provincial station?"

Fixing his gaze firmly on him, Chen Bin said coldly, "I originally intended to promote Wu Jie and let her host the singing competition. But then she came here the other day, yelling at me and claiming she hated me. Do you think I can still give someone like that another chance?"

Wu Jian’s face turned pale with anger upon hearing this.

He couldn’t understand why his otherwise sweet and obedient daughter had become so difficult after getting into a relationship.

Storming into the provincial station chief’s office without cause—had she lost her mind?

Taking a deep breath to suppress his fury, Wu Jian bent over in a deep bow to Chen Bin.

"Mr. Chen, it’s my fault for not raising her well. I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t hold it against her. I’m sorry!"

But Chen Bin remained unmoved.

"Wu Jie is an adult. She has to face the consequences of her own mistakes. You can leave now."

"I... I... Sigh."

Realizing Chen Bin’s determination, Wu Jian could only sigh and leave quietly.

Shortly after, the phone in Chen Bin’s office rang again.

"Mr. Chen, a classmate of Wu Jie’s wants to see you. Says she has something important to report to you."

Chen Bin initially planned to refuse, but ultimately let out a sigh.

"Bring her up."

When Cong Lijie entered the station chief’s office, she spoke before Chen Bin could.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask you a question about Wu Jie?"

"What’s your question?"

"Do you like her?"
