Kai’s fans were beside themselves with joy. Kai had not only affirmed his status in the industry with this album, he had also risen a level or two.

This meant Kai would no longer be just a pretty face! From now on, Kai would be a step closer to Xia Peifeng’s heights with such iconic work under his belt.

His fans were naturally happy for him!

Yao Jiahong quietly listened to Kai’s new album and was very impressed by Nancy’s talent yet again.

He quietly typed on the computer as he made plans for Jennie’s career: [Jennie has to study hard after the competition. I hope to help Shi Jin reach Nancy’s level of accomplishment in five years.]

Although five years was a long time, it was hardly enough time for an untalented songwriter to reach Nancy’s level.

Xia Peifeng sat dumbfounded in front of his computer as everyone kept talking about Kai’s latest album, “Sing”.

Moments later, he turned his head murderously. He looked at his talent agent questioningly in fury.

He squeezed the empty can of Sprite in his hand with a snap and flattened it.

His talent agent panicked and had already stood up to say, “What happened? Why do the new songs in Kai’s albums sound just like yours? I will investigate it immediately! I will find out right away!”

Kai’s latest songs, “Love”, “Lingering Affection”, “Clear Skies” and “Warm Sun in Winter” were all written by Xia Peifeng.

Even the titles were more or less identical.

Xia Peifeng had planned on using these songs in his next album.

Xia Peifeng had barely any competition at his level. No matter what songs he released, they were well received.

Xia Peifeng did not need to worry about market share or creating hype. He was able to work at his pace and released albums at his liberty. This time, he planned on doing the same thing.

After watching Nancy’s performance on “Ultimate Singer-Songwriter”, he was very inspired, so he wrote five songs altogether.

He planned on cleaning them up before releasing them in a new album, but all his songs were now appearing in Kai’s latest album.

Kai’s fans were blown away by his work.

Kai and Nancy’s songs were a major hit, but Xia Peifeng felt as though someone had ripped his heart to shreds.

“Your album was very well-received!” Hu Lai picked up a glass of red wine and held it towards Kai and Nancy. “We have received over 500 000 copies in preorder for the album in just a single night!”

Nancy felt proud of this achievement as well. “Uh huh. Other than your fans, a lot of music critics and non-fans have spoken highly of your album.”

Everyone forgot about Nancy’s Allure advertisement tonight. Instead, people kept talking about her talent and had forgotten about the allergic reaction Allure’s products had caused.

Hu Lai smiled and said, “Nancy, here is a toast to you.”

Kai raised his wine glass and looked at Nancy as well.

After Nancy finished a glass of wine, she saw her phone light up with Jennie’s name flashing on the screen.

She quickly answered the phone and went over to a quiet corner to talk. “Hi, Jennie.”

“Did you help Kai with the new album?” asked Jennie calmly.

“Jennie, let me explain,” said Nancy hurriedly. “Have you heard Kai’s new album already? I can explain everything.”

Jennie sat down on the couch calmly with her phone in hand. “Let’s see what you have to say about this.”

“I know they were your songs, but it’s not like I gave it to some random guy. I only gave them to Kai.”
