Chapter 14

City B’s rich circle was much larger than the normal populace thought. What’s more, it had different cliques as well such as : the entrepreneur clique, celebrity clique, second generation army and officials clique, second generation business riche clique and many more, and of course, there would be overlap within these circles. No matter where, someone from the business sector would be welcome, so someone like Cheng Chen who was a technology based type of nouveau riche entrepreneur really was very popular. 

The fact that he’d recently become the sugar daddy to a university student was known by all the bosses around him, and would occasionally be brought up in conversations after casual meetings.  

“I’d originally thought you’d get a celebrity as a sugar baby.” Lao Zhong had a real estate company. “You young ones always seem to like celebrities.”

Cheng Chen took a sip of tea. “I don’t like celebrities.”  

Lao Zhong smiled as he said, “It’s all the same.”

Cheng Chen didn’t reply or refute, then he heard Lao Zhong continue with his line of questions. “How is the university student’s skills in bed?”

Cheng Chen paused as he sipped his tea. His expression was very secretive. 

Lao Zhong mistook that for him doing well and very pervertedly said, “Aiyo, seems like they’re quite good then?”

Cheng Chen smiled without it reaching his eyes. “Who I chose is obviously good.”

“You’re already unwilling because of this?” Lao Zhong teased him, “Tell me, how good is he exactly?” 

Cheng Chen didn’t say anything. 

Lao Zhong naturally wasn’t going to let him off so easily. “Some lovers are really shy in bed, how about yours?” 

Cheng Chen lightly said, “It’s always him who takes the initiative to climb int my bed.”

Old Zhong slowly blinked. “He’s this lewd?”

Cheng Chen coughed, then pretended to be solemn as he said, “Yesterday he even took the initiative and wanted to sleep holding me himself.”

Lao Zhong was completely muddled. “…..and then?” 

Cheng Chen continued, “It’s useless even if I’m annoyed at him, he just wants to sleep with me.”

Lao Zhong：“……”

He felt like this reaction wasn’t right, it seemed like they were discussing sugar babies, but why was Cheng Chen acting like he was showing off his lovely-dovey love life???

That hoodie wasn’t very long, so if the movements were big while wearing it then you’d be able to see his waist.

Xu Nian was not just thin, his skin was also very pale.

He actually did obediently lie down beside Cheng Chen, separated by the blanket. Then he said, in a very soft and careful tone, “I’ll try my best not to touch you.” 

Cheng Chen looked down at him. 

Xu Nian was looking up at him, eyes looking as if filled with sugar, his gaze soft and sweet. 

He embraced Cheng Chen through the blanket. “I’ll sleep like this.”

Cheng Chen thought that his heart was feeling itchy from being gazed at so sweetly, and he couldn’t help but start shaking his leg.  

“It’s cold. Get inside the blankets.” Cheng Chen said in the end. 

Xu Nian’s eyes widened, and said, “Aren’t you a germaphobe, and don’t want people touching you?”

“It’s not like you’re taking off your clothes.” Cheng Chen replied somewhat stiffly. “It doesn’t count as touching.” 

Xu Nian paused, struck dumb, then suddenly he smiled and revealed those two pointed teeth. “Does the boss wish I’d take off my clothes?”

Cheng Chen：“……”

Who exactly was the sugar daddy here?!  What, is this a revolt?！! 

If one were to say that the highest mastery of the art of serving someone was to take care of all areas, from food to clothes to living quarters and all necessities, then Xu Nian was definitely at a level of exceptionality that even made Chen Di feel threatened in terms of a professional setting. 

Although Chen Di was Cheng Chen’s secretary, he still wasn’t brave enough to go on and on with his nagging and warnings just because he suspected that the boss’s sugar baby was scamming him out of money. Don’t joke, his boss’s temper wasn’t good in the first place, and now there was a Xu Daji who had bewitched Cheng Chen and had him wrapped around his little finger, if he angered his boss and lost his job then that wouldn’t be worth it.  

And so, rather than talking badly about the sugar baby in front of his boss and make his boss angry, it was better to go and talk directly with the sugar baby.  

After all, if one where to talk about Xu Nian’s personality, it could about count as kind, virtuous, knowledgeable and attentive.  

“Do you actually like our boss or not?” Chen Di couldn’t help but ask him.  

Xu Nian was in the middle of making the bed, and casually replied, “I do.”

Chen Di’s expression was very complicated. “What do you like about him?”

Xu Nian laughed, and said, “I like everything about him.”

Chen Di’s whole face had ‘I don’t believe you’ written all over it. Xu Nian seriously thought about it, then explained, “The boss’s specs are all really great, he’s hardworking and serious when working, he doesn’t smoke or drink, his love life isn’t complicated or wild, he’s good looking to boot, and is very successful, how could I not like him?” 

　“……” Chen Di pondered awhile, then found that what he’d said was actually very reasonable, and that he had no way of making any retorts. 

Xu Nian continued, “Even if his temper is a bit bad, and is kind of a germaphobe, it’s ok. After all, no one’s perfect. And anyways, everywhere else he’s so great, this kind of little fault isn’t anything, really.”

….what the fuck’s with ‘no one’s perfect’! How can you say all this in such a natural, matter-of-fact shameless way?

Chen Di could only say, “The reasons you gave were all exterior things, to love someone is to love their soul, their heart!” 

“Of course I love him.” Xu Nian said with emphasis, “It’s not like I’m such a shallow person.”

Chen Di：“……”

“But you said before that the boss is homophobic, is that true?” 

Chen Di’s head hurt as he said, “Before, I would be sure of it, but after meeting you, I’m not sure either.”

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the matter of Cheng Chen’s sexual orientation, of whether he liked guys or girls, wasn’t important, but to those who truly knew him, they knew him to be truly homophobic.  

And so when the rumours that he’d become the sugar daddy of a young man had gotten to his friends, they all didn’t believe it. 

“You’ve already been with him for so long.” Shi Liansheng “All the acting that must be done has already been acted out, what are you still keeping the kid for?”

Cheng Chen was pretty blasé about it. “He’s very obedient, isn’t annoying and his cooking is also very delicious.”

“…….” Shi Liansheng was dumbstruck. “Did you just hire a mobile chef?” 

Cheng Chen swayed his leg, and said in a tone that was pretty obnoxious. “Pretty much.”

Shi Liansheng burst out laughing. “Don’t be so sure now. Just you wait, once you get ‘bent’ you won’t even have the time to cry.”

Cheng Chen hmmphed out from his nose. “Not possible.” 

“How is it impossible?” Shi Liansheng continued, “Aren’t they saying that you basically take him everywhere, even to the bathroom? So what, you wanna bring him there so he can pass you some toilet paper or what?”

Cheng Chen：“……”

Shi Liansheng said, “Don’t mind me speaking crudely. I’ve seen a lot of people like this, they like turning straight guys gay and feel like it’s a great accomplishment. For example, like your type.” 

Cheng Chen frowned. “What type am I?”

“The Ironman among straight guys.” Shi Liansheng gave a thumbs up and said, “Turning someone like you gay is like turning the entire universe gay!”

Rinrin: Ah—change is looming on the horizon ppl!
