Sewing machine's love storyChapter 23.2

“How to get my sugar daddy to sleep with me” was now the biggest problem that Xu Nian had to face. But then, the main thing was, no matter how smart and considerate he was, his seduction skills weren’t that developed, much less to say of his skills in seducing someone into bed. 

That’s why, this matter kept being put off and dragged on to summer. He and Cheng Chen still were at a point in their relationship where they weren’t too hot or cold. They would eat together, sleep together (just in bed), and hang out together, and would occasionally exchange kisses and hold hands. Though most of the time it was Xu Nian taking the initiative for those—and after the deed was done, he would be scolded by Cheng Chen, saying he was being improper qXrQhz

Really, Xu Nian felt that, since they had such a crude start to their relationship, for them to be able to have such a pure and proper relationship growth really was a type of miraculous fate

When Xu Nian was in his third year, he was already preparing for an internship. Cheng Chen was even more concerned on this matter than he was, and had made arrangements for him to enter his own company early on.  dLmpXR

 

The department that he’d been placed into was the marketing department. It wasn’t as if there weren’t any talk about how Xu Nian might have backing, but he was a highly educated student from B uni, and acted neither , so not many people would think in the direction of those types of messed up things. 

 

The manager of the marketing department’s last name was Ma. At Cheng Chen’s company there was always a company excusion in the middle of the year, and this time it was an out of the city vacation to escape the heat.

Xu Nian was going with the marketing department’s bus, and because of this, Cheng Chen had made a not big, yet also not small fuss .

Xu Nian had coaxed him out of it after a long while, and in the end, right before he left, he kissed his cheek while he was unaware.  

“When we get there we’ll be in one room.” Xu Nian used his nose to nuzzle his neck. “I brought some sour plum soup to prevent heatstroke.”

Cheng Chen obediently accepted the kiss, but his leg was uncontrollably shaking again in the backseat, but in front of people he was still uptight and stiff about it, and used a hmmph to cover it up.  FlxKnm

Xu Nian got out of his car, then went on the bus. When Manager Ma saw him he was immediately happy. 

“Little Nian Nian! Hurry and come over here!” Manager Ma loudly called. “Sing a song for us big brothers and sisters!”

  

Cheng Chen’s face was steely and green for the whole trip, and Chen Di drove in terror TNZie

“What did they just call him?” Cheng Chen suddenly asked. 

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Chen Di pretended he’d been struck deaf and mute and stayed silent. 

Cheng Chen coldly said, “Little Nian Nian. And they even asked him to sing a song, is he a host?!”

This time the company were going on a group outing to an out-of-city vacation resort; which had a pool club, hotel, farm land and restaurant…in short everything that they would need. The whole way on the bus Xu Nian had already been updated on how rich the boss was exactly, and had how much stocks etc, etc. From the faces of the manager to the workers, the urge and excitement of being able to share gossip was plain to see. 

The expression on Xu Nian’s face as he listened could be counted as excited and interested, but in his perspective, all the rumours and gossip being exchanged was actually all very old….

Manager Ma said secretively, “It’s that lead singer of the girl band that is recently really popular!”

Xu Nian: “……”

“Last time I went to give a report, I saw tickets to that concert for the girl group on Boss Cheng’s desk!” Manager Ma said. 

  “……” Xu Nian was too embarrassed to say that the one that liked that girl group was actually him…….the concert tickets had been ordered during a date, and after they’d seen the concert Cheng Chen had been jealous for about a week, just because Xu Nian had been calling 'hit CALL' nonstop in the audience. 

 

Manager Ma suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “Oh yeah! After the boss came back he even asked me what 'hit call' meant!” 64opdg

Xu Nian coughed, then asked, “How did you explain it, sir?”

Manager Ma replied, “How would I know what it means? I just directly translated it and said that it meant to make a telephone call.”

Xu Nian sighed and didn’t want to say anything. 

It was unknown how many ears and mouths this gossip information of Manager Ma’s had gone through, but in the end the sugar baby had become not only the lead singer of the girl group, but went on to include the visual, the lead dancer, and the main comedian. The gossips had analyzed the girl group from every which way, from their faces to their heights, and in the end the conclusion they got was that the boss keeping all of them was even a possibility. y4Q0fM

Xu Nian:“……”

He thought, your boss is like a young timid lady on her wedding night when it comes to just me, have five or six people? …….in dreams, maybe.

  The entire vacation was reserved by Cheng Chen, and in a splurge move, each of the douzens of workers had a room to themself. Just as Xu Nian was about to go over and get his room key, Chen Di came over. 

“Give it to me.” Secretary Chen was cautious and professional. “You and the boss are sharing a room.”

Xu Nian took a look around the surroundings. “Where’s Cheng Chen?”

Chen Di said, quietly, “He’s unhappy, hurry and go comfort him.” OQDdrh

Xu Nian:“……”

  

 

The boss was, after all, still different from the normal workers, and he had the best presidential suite to stay in. After Xu Nian had entered the password into the keypad lock and went into the suite, he was unsure of where exactly Cheng Chen was.  wlKH6M

He was like a thief, looking through each and every room on tiptoe, until finally finding the big boss on the bed of one of the most innermost rooms. 

Xu Nian timidly and carefully went closer. 

Cheng Chen had his eyes closed, and his forehead was scrunched up to form a ‘mountain’ between his brows. No matter how you looked at it, this was the appearance of someone who had gone to sleep with fury and frustration. It even reassembled, in a way, the way a child who had not gotten their milk before bed slept. 

Xu Nian thought about it for a moment, then decided he would take a shower before getting in the bed. However, he had just taken half his clothes off when his phone started vibrating. Xu Nian went to the bathroom, took out his phone, and saw that the caller ID was ‘Manager Ma’. Rd4PK6

 

 

Ah, Xiao Nian Nian.” Manager Ma’s voice truly was super lively, and was not what you would think would belong to a forty something middle-aged man. “Come down and swim, the ladies are all waiting for you!”

Xu Nian’s head hurt. “Manager Ma…….I want to sleep.” VQaAdc

What’re you sleeping for, young man? What’s your room number? I’ll come and pick you up.”

Xu Nian sighed, and could only give in. “Then wait a moment, I’ll come down.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He hung up, and resigned himself to his fate by putting on his shirt again and got ready to go out. The first thing he saw when he opened the bathroom door was Cheng Chen, sitting up on the bed with a stormy face.

“……..” Xu Nian felt a little guilty and asked, “You’re up?”

Cheng Chen: “Hmmph!”

Xu Nian said, trying to please him, “Do you wanna go swimming?”

Cheng Chen didn’t say anything and stared at him coldly.  Qb94dB

 

Xu Nian thought for a moment, then just threw caution to the winds by vainly saying, “Let’s go together, I’ll show you my swim shorts.”

Cheng Chen: “……”
