Sewing machine's love storyChapter 12

Hua Qing manor’s golf course was one of the largest courses in the outskirts of the capital. It was also the most professionally maintained. There were two outside fields with 18 holes, and one 9 holed indoor course. For those whose skills weren’t that good, even if they played for 4 hours, they would not be able to finish the outside course. 

The caddy drove over in a golf cart to pick them up. Young Master Qin got into one with the celebrity and Xu Nian followed behind Cheng Chen to sit in the cart behind them.  rQcAp8

 

Xu Nian naturally didn’t know how to golf, but after seeing the equipment in Cheng Chen’s golf bag, he felt pretty impressed. After he asked, Cheng Chen’s expression was a bit arrogant.

“It’s nothing more than just an act.” Cheng Chen lightly said. “Can’t lose face.” 

Xu Nian smiled at that. “Then do you know how to golf?” 0JRP7p

Cheng Chen rolled his eyes, “It’s enough to be better than Young master Qin.”

  

 

Although that was what he said, but when they really started playing, Xu Nian thought that Cheng Chen had been being polite.

The one who was a good player on young master Qin’s side wasn’t young Master Qin, but the celebrity. Today Xu Nian had at long last finally remembered who he was. In the showbiz circle he really was considered to be quite famous, and he wasn’t just some fresh newbie with a lot of fans type of famous, but that type of famous where he had won awards for movie performances both within China and overseas. By the sidelines, Xu Nian searched him up on Baidu and noted down that his name was Jiang Ze. 

 

Unfortunately, while he was searching online, Cheng Chen saw what he was doing. The boss was unhappy, and he said, tone mocking, “What are you doing searching him up?”

Xu Nian put his phone away without panicking or flinching. “I should get to know your friend after all, right?” AruzVZ

Cheng Chen hmmphed. “Who said he’s my friend?”

  

Xu Nian knew that he wasn’t actually angry, so smiled and handed over both water and towels when needed. At first, Cheng Chen was still being stiff, and made a small fuss by being displeased that the water was too hot and that the towel was dirty. Even so, Xu Nian switching both for him good naturedly. Young master Qin, who had gotten off the field to rest, watched them for a while, then laughed. “Isn’t your kid way too obedient and nice?”

Cheng Chen didn’t say anything, and neither did he let anything slip with his expression, but from Xu Nian’s angle he could see that his boss’s leg was vigorously shaking.  sM6Sn

Young master Qin eyed Xu Nian, then abruptly made an expression that seemed like a smile, but was not. “Such a good kid, even I’m a bit moved, how about you let him come with me for a few days?”  

Xu Nian’s heart went ‘ba-dum’, then subconsciously went and looked to his boss’s face.

Cheng Chen’s leg had already stopped shaking. Still, he was mostly expressionless. He said to Xu Nian, “I want to drink some milk, you go and buy a bottle.” VD79sO

Cheng Chen didn’t say anything to that. 

 

Young master Qin seemed to have gotten a bit passionate about the matter. He got a bit more serious and said, “Lovers are all the same, you’ve already had him for a few months now, don’t you want to try something different? No matter how obedient, they’re still just a pet. Jiang Ze’s obedient too, so how about we exchange and try it out?”   iX1aF0

Cheng Chen grabbed the towel beside him that Xu Nian had left behind and wiped his hands. He saw Jiang Ze hand over his golf club to the caddie, in the middle of getting ready to get off the field. 

“To tell the truth, it’s not a question of if I’m tired of him or not.” Cheng Chen stood up, and looked down at young master Qin. Suddenly, he laughed.

Young master Qin paused at that, “Then what type of question is it?”

Cheng Chen accepted the golf club that the caddy handed over. “Young master Qin probably doesn’t know just how much money I’ve spent on my Nian Nian, right?”  kQ2vqu

Young master Qin:“……”

Cheng Chen laughed coldly and said, “My Nian Nian is so expensive, I can’t bear to give him to anyone else.”

Xu Nian was picking out milk at the vending machine when he saw Jiang Ze, who had just been on the golf field, come in. 

When the celebrity saw him he freezed for a moment, then he smiled, brought out his lighter and asked, “Do you mind?”

Xu Nian made a ‘go ahead’ motion with his hand.

Jiang Ze lit a thin cigarette, and blew smoke from his nose.Turning his head, he appraised Xu Nian, then smiled as he said, “How long have you been with boss Cheng?”

Xu Nian orderly replied, “It’s been more than three months, now.”

“That’s pretty long.” Jiang Ze said while smoking, “Does Boss Cheng treat you well?”

Xu Nian smiled as he said, “He does.” mi4xuO

Jiang Ze was a little surprised. “You say that he does?”

Xu Nian nodded. “That’s right.” 

Jiang Ze felt like this was a little funny, “You’re a sugar baby, yet you think he treats you well?”

“Yeah, it’s not bad.” Xu Nian said, straightforwardly, “When I need money he’ll give me money, get me doctors, rent me a place to live, buy me a car and give me pocket money, how is it not good?” z26lxe

“……” Jiang Ze opened and closed his mouth, then asked, after a moment, “You’re ok with being a pet?”

“Why is it a pet? Would you give a pet money?” Xu Nian said, uncomprehendingly, “I serve the boss, the boss gives me money, we both bring something to the table, why would I be taken for a pet?”

Jiang Ze:“……”

Xu Nian smiled, showing off his two little fangs, “I work very hard, it would be the best if I can get things stabilized and do this for the rest of my life. The goal is to get a promotion and get raises, as well as get the five insurances and housing funds. Then, when I get old and retire, the boss can still give me retirement money. My whole life would pass by peacefully, smoothly, and amicably, wouldn’t that be great?”

Jiang Ze :“……”

Cheng Chen waited for an eternity for his milk, but it never returned, so he was forced to go and find it personally. But in the hallway on the way there, he found Jiang Ze and Xu Nian. 

As soon as Xu Nian saw him he immediately attentively handed over the bottle of milk. “You’re done playing golf?”

“Mn.” Cheng Chen realized that the cap had already been opened, and felt pretty warmed by the care. “What were you two talking about?”

Jiang Ze crushed the butt of his cigarette, then suddenly laughed. “Your kid is really too fun.” mQZ7z5

Cheng Chen frowned, and didn’t understand why he was suddenly saying this.

Jiang Ze smiled apologetically at Xu Nian. “I was just teasing you just now. I don’t mean any harm.”

Xu Nian said, even-temperedly, “It’s nothing.” ibchmn

Jiang Ze nodded, then said to Cheng Chen, “Qin Fengtian just said something bastard-like again, didn’t he?” 

Cheng Chen said, without batting an eye, “You’d have to ask him.”

Jiang Ze hmmphed, expression dark and stormy.

“I’ll go out first.” He said to Xu Nian, “Let’s eat together in the future.”

Cheng Chen coldly said, “What are you doing, asking him out to eat, stay away from him.”

Jiang Ze cracked up, “Ah come on, don’t be so stingy boss Cheng .”

   TiJj1M

Once he’d left, Cheng Chen seemed to still be unhappy. He reminded Xu Nian again, “Don’t speak too much with him in the future.”

Xu Nian obediently oh’d. 

Cheng Chen continued, “Don’t talk too much with Qin Fengtian either.” 

Xu Nian peeked at him. “Okay.” He paused, then couldn’t help but ask, “Just now the things that young master Qin said….he really thinks that?” ZnGMSi

 

“Who cares if he’s serious or not.” Cheng Chen roughly said. He appeared to be quite furious at the fact that Xu Nian still remembered what Qin Fengtian had said. He then said, mockingly, “What, you feel like I’m not giving enough money so you’re going to go find someone else?!”

“Am I that kind of person?” Xu Nian widened his eyes and looked at him, expression filled with sincerity, “I only have you in my heart, boss, not your money.”

Cheng Chen:“……” Iou4mp


Rinrin: Nian Nian ❤️

Now THIS is how a normal, smart, modern person would think! Use logic and reasoning! That’s right! You wouldn’t pay a pet!! That would be slavery!

    Xu Nian is so frank. 😂

  4. Yea!

    idk why being a pet is such a bad thing, the guy paying and the guy being paid is fine with it. if there’s no feelings involved, then even better, can treat it like any other jobIt’s like a rental boyfriend, they have set of things they do and they get bonuses for exceeding expectations
