Sewing machine's love storyChapter 15

Cheng Chen didn’t think at all that he’d become gay. Even now, when he encountered other homosexuals he would still feel disgusted or uncomfortable, but Xu Nian was different.

Even he didn’t know what this feeling was.  0BGnPO

All that disgust or discomfort had never, not even once, appeared in relation to Xu Nian.

In his eyes he was pure, cute, and attentive.

When he smiled he would reveal two cute fanged teeth, when he was unhappy he’d ignore you, but his anger would dispel quickly as well. In short, he was very warm, meek and soft. 2vVjwJ

Xu Nian was always very obedient, he wouldn’t refuse, and always made people like him. 

Shi Liansheng’s words of persuasion could only be said to that level. As for if Cheng Chen would listen or not, well that was another matter. 

In the end Shi Liansheng gave a suggestion. “Well, it’s not as if you can’t keep him forever.”

Cheng Chen disdainfully said, “Since when do I have to ask for your permission to keep someone?”

“I’m doing this for your sake.” Shi Liansheng said, “Even if you’re raising a pig, you’ve got to be sure that its meat is yours. You’ve got to make a mark or something, right?” i3 C4T

Cheng Chen didn’t say anything. Shi Liansheng saw that he didn’t react so he continued on. 

“It’s actually quite easy.” Shi Liansheng raised an eyebrow and said, “I’ll help you test him. I’ll go and offer him more money and see if he’s willing to go with me, how about it?”

Cheng Chen furrowed his brows. “Do you take this for those dramas where a wealthy madame is picking out a daughter-in-law? Where she says, I’ll give you two million so leave my son?  3dYSz5

Shi Liansheng snorted. “You’re way too stingy, how could two million be enough nowadays? You gotta at least add another zero at the end.” 

Cheng Chen：“……”

Xu Nian, who was waiting on the preparations for Li Fang’s surgery, did not know about the sneaky plans that were brewing on in Cheng Chen’s side.  

He’d already contacted quite a few doctors and organisations, so the matters of Li Fang’s surgery were basically all settled and could be done next month.

The mother and son duo were undeniably ecstatic, but because Xu Nian had been running to and from the hospital recently, he became a bit neglectful with his care and service over on Cheng Chen’s side.

Even Li Fang was a little worried. “You keep not going to the company, what if your internship doesn’t pass?”

Xu Nian thought about it and said, “I feel like he likes me a bit more than before. He even let’s me go on…….” Xu Nian paused, then continued, “Go on up and stay in his office.” WEBmgf

“Go to his office?” Li Fang didn’t understand. “What do you mean? Are you working as his personal assistant?”

Xu Nian could only reply, “Basically, yeah.”

Li Fang sighed. “Then that really is not bad. You have to work well, don’t disappoint your boss.”

After a while, she earnestly added, “This is an iron food bowl. If you become official then this would be a lifetime matter.” r3MLpY

Obviously Xu Nian couldn’t tell his mother what exactly he was doing, and was afraid that if he did tell her there would be some negative consequences. The most important thing at the moment was for Li Fang to safely go through surgery, so everything else could wait for now. 

When Chen Di came to the hospital to pick him up, he half truthfully and half feignedly complained, “Recently you haven’t been going over to the boss’s place that much.” 0 xrsB

Xu Nian widened his eyes, and with an expression that was slightly anxious, asked, “Did the boss say something?”

“Of course the boss didn’t say anything, his mouth is so tight after all.” Chen Di purposefully said in a secretive air, “But I’ve been working for him for so long, so I’d obviously be able to see through him.”

Xu Nian immediately said, “Then I’ll go to see him right now.” 

Chen Di glanced at him from the rearview mirror. “Don’t rush, today I’m bringing you to meet the boss’s friend first.” D0TdEK

Xu Nian：“？”

Chen Di reminded him, “When you meet Mr. Shi you have to be completely polite, he’s the boss’s close friend, you can’t be an embarrassment for the boss.”

Xu Nian obediently replied, “Okay.” YNIArw

Shi Liansheng had purposefully placed a folding screen in the tea room and got Cheng Chen to sit behind it in order for Cheng Chen to be able to observe the whole process of him testing Xu Nian.    rxXZq

Cheng Chen was very unhappy. “Why do I have to hide?”

Shi Liansheng’s head hurt. “If you don’t hide, then he obviously won’t be honest.”

Cheng Chen very reluctantly went and sat down behind the folding screen. When Shi Liansheng moved away from him, he even warned him, “Don’t you dare bully Nian Nian.”

“……” Shi Liansheng felt like he was going to puke blood. He thought, hey, you two should just hurry up and get married, fuck, he’d give the nine dollars needed!  4xgIhS

When Xu Nian arrived and he didn’t see Cheng Chen he thought it was a little weird. It was the first time he’d met Shi Liansheng as well, so he was naturally polite and reserved towards him. He politely said hi, then sat down by the redwood table, then asked, “Where’s Chen Ge?” cKM7TX

Shi Liansheng was so numbed by this uttered ‘Chen Ge’ that goosebumps erupted all over him, so much so that he could almost be taken for a goose. He calmed himself down and said, patiently, “He’ll come over in a bit.”

Xu Nian didn’t doubt him. “Then I’ll wait a bit.”

Shi Liansheng took a sip of tea, and as if he was just casually chatting, asked him, “How long have you been with Cheng Chen?”

Xu Nian honestly replied, “More than half a year.” XBnJG9

“Does Cheng Chen treat you well?”

Boss Cheng was sitting behind the folding screen. Hearing the question, his ears pricked up. His legs were spread apart and he was pressed up against the screen trying to get a better listen.

“He treats me well.” You could hear Xu Nian’s smile through his voice. Cheng Chen could even picture his little fanged teeth that were definitely showing, and couldn’t resist giving his leg a shake.  

Perhaps it was because his movement was too big and it touched the screen, but the sound made wasn’t all that quiet either. Xu Nian naturally looked over in that direction. 

Shi Liansheng unflinchingly said, “It’s my cat.” MBqi2o

Xu Nian blinked. 

Shi Liansheng continued spouting nonsense, “The type that’s really big. And its temper isn’t good.”

Cheng Chen：“……”

  u3VpTd

Shi Liansheng started to say more nonsense, “Don’t keep saying that Boss Cheng is good, as a bro of course I know how terrible his temper is, being with him for so long, you’ve been through a lot.”

The folded screen made a loud sound again. Shi Liansheng unflinchingly and with passionate eyes stared at Xu Nian. 

Xu Nian just couldn’t help but glance over at the screen, and distractedly said, “No, no, the boss is a really good person.” 2VRHeP

The back of the screen finally calmed down.

Shi Liansheng cleared his throat, then continued with his cajoling. “Then do you want to try switching to someone else?” 

Xu Nian didn’t get it at first. “Switching to someone else…..for what?” VcgDp6

Shi Liansheng explained, “Just switch a person as your sugar daddy. I’ve heard that your mother’s health isn’t that good, how about you switch to me? I can give you money to help treat your mother, and I can….”

“Sir, you’ve misunderstood something, haven’t you?” Xu Nian suddenly interrupted him. He poured himself a cup of tea and crossed his legs on the chair, posture now like half an owner instead of a guest. “The relationship between me and Chen Ge actually isn’t a sugar relationship.”

This time it was Shi Liansheng’s turn to be dumbstruck. “Then what type of relationship is it?” BWmEVu

Xu Nian raised an eyebrow, grinned so wide he revealed teeth, then sweetly and with certainty said, “Ah, we’re dating.”

“…….” When the screen fell down there was only one thought that went through Shi Liansheng’s mind.  AY6vpj

Cheng Chen, is your leg fucking made out of a pile driver?!

Rinrin: aiyoooooooooo hhhhhhhhhh 6VBiqH
