In truth, Chen Di wasn’t actually sure what the situation was with Xu Nian and Cheng Chen. His impression of his boss was that type of super straight guy that wouldn’t even pet a dog if he knew it was male, but currently it clearly seemed as if he was absolutely into being with this little lover–getting him to send over lunches and helping him undress, truly the picture of a perfect, domestic wifey.
After Xu Nian had brought lunch to Cheng Chen for a whole week, the food that he brought with him after were all basically dishes that would make Cheng Chen’s leg shake from the moment he picked up his chopsticks to until he finished eating.
As for other services like sleeping together, taking care of a drunken boss, etc, well, they all became easy to take care of for Xu Nian.
Although Cheng Chen was hard to please, he gave money very easily. As long as he saw Xu Nian that day, then that very night Xu Nian’s bank account would have either a bit or a lot more money.
It was just like a filthy rich father giving his son pocket change, and so wasn’t pained over the lost money at all.
Chen Di was already used to his second boss frequently coming over and inspecting work. Xu Nian was courteous and also duteous, and never gave any trouble to the secretary. Unlike before, when Cheng Chen pissed off his lovers he, as the secretary, would have to go and placate them….
“Secretary Chen.” After finishing lulling Cheng Chen to sleep, Xu Nian held the empty lunch box and came out. When he saw Chen Di, he said hi.
Secretary Chen smiled until his eyes almost disappeared. “Thanks for your hard work.”
Xu Nian smiled too. “It’s what I should do.”
Chen Di said, “You know that next week you’ll be going golfing, right?”
Xu Nian nodded. “I know. I’ve already gotten sports wear prepared.”
Chen Di raised an eyebrow. Nowadays he wouldn’t ask idiotic questions such as ‘won’t it be a waste of money?’ and the like anymore, since a professional sugar baby like Xu Nian would absolutely not save the boss’s money.
“I probably won’t be able to come over for the next few days,” Xu Nian suddenly said as he was about to leave, “Please tell the boss for me.”
Chen Di’s heart lurched. “What happened?”
He was really afraid that Cheng Chen had pissed off another lover so to the point of quitting again.
“I’m going to learn how to drive.” Xu Nian replied.
Chen Di didn’t understand at first. “L-learning to drive?”
Xu Nian very naturally smiled, revealing his two little fangs. “Yup, that way in the future if the boss gifts me a car I can drive it.”
Chen Di ：“……”
The next day Xu Nian really didn’t come over to drop off lunch. Chen Di bought some take-out and brought it over to Cheng Chen’s office. He saw his boss sitting on the sofa, waiting early on in preparation and leg shaking. When he saw that the one to come over was his secretary, his leg immediately stopped shaking. Brows already furrowed, he asked, “Where’s Xu Nian?”

Cheng Chen’s ears twitched a little, and he fell silent. All of a sudden, he made himself look calm and said, “That’s what he said?”
“Yup.”
“Humph.” Cheng Chen’s leg shook momentarily. “In his dreams!”
Chen Di：“……”
His university workload wasn’t busy, so it was a perfect time to learn how to drive. When he was paying the class fees Li Fang was a bit unwilling about the money. She asked Xu Nian how much he had left.
“I’ve been working a part-time job.” Xu Nian calmed her down. “And I’ve earned a lot.”
Li Fang didn’t believe him. “What kind of job would pay that much money?”
“I’m a student at B Uni, so I participated in a research club, and it has program funding.”
Li Fang was still a little suspicious. “Really?”
Xu Nian seemed completely serious. “Of course, our professor thinks quite highly of me and thinks I’ll go far, and brings me along with him to do research. If we get results, I’ll basically be set even before graduating.”
Li Fang sighed. “Then you have got to be good to your professor, listen well, and don’t make your professor mad.”
Xu Nian lightly smiled. “Of course.”
The car teaching school was located outside of the city, and Xu Nian had classes in the afternoon, so when he finished practicing it was pretty much already past dinner time. Luckily he’d already prepared some food at home, so his mother wouldn’t go hungry. He himself randomly got something to eat in the outskirts of the city and made do with it.
However, on the next day after classes ended he bumped into Chen Di outside of the parking lot.
It seemed as if Secretary Chen had been waiting for him for quite a while. For the first time, he took the initiative and got out of the car beforehand and opened the car door for him. “Just two days and you’ve already gotten a bit tanner huh.”
Xu Nian touched his face. “Did I get tanner?”
Chen Di looked at him carefully. “A little, you gotta use sunscreen, our boss likes those who are paler.”
Xu Nian furrowed his brows, and seemed truly a little troubled. “Then let’s go to Watson’s.”
“Why?”
“To buy whitening and beautifying face masks.”
“…….You’re way too dedicated!!!”
Chen Di brought him to a place to eat. Xu Nian thought that they would bump into Cheng Chen, but in the end it was just them two. Chen Di steamed some beef tripe for him and said, in an indifferent manner, “Isn’t this pretty good? It’s time to eat, if he comes then we both can’t eat properly.”
Xu Nian smiled as he asked, “Did he always eat like this before too?”
“The boss is someone who’s undergone a lot of hardships to get to where he is now.” Chen Di ate while filling in Xu Nian on the boss’s history, “Last time when you went with him to his teacher’s house you got it too. He, well, he really is a highly educated person. What’s more, he was a biology major, before he’d even graduated he was already starting to work in grain and oil related technology
with his teacher. Afterwards, it was when he got his patents that he slowly started working on his business.”
Xu Nian listened with utmost focus.
Chen Di poured him a cup of tea and continued, “Coincidentally, the country’s need for this type of technology was strong, so it can be said that he got lucky and got into the right wagon at the right time, so that he could get his company to the way it is today.”
Xu Nian was a little curious. “Was his temper always like this?”
“Ten out of nine technical researchers are bullheaded, and one is a bull through and through, our boss is the one that is a bull through and through.”
Xu Nian：“……”
Chen Di then said, “But our boss’s heart isn’t bad. He’s someone who, when doing business, doesn’t do any of those fake or empty gimmicks.”
Xu Nian suddenly asked, “Has he always been so generous to people?”
“He’s only been so generous with you.” Chen Di winked at him, and sighed, “Dunno what tricks you used, but today he sent me to come pick you up. You can try and drive this car in a moment too.”
Cheng Chen’s car was a classic, automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz E class. With Chen Di sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Nian wasn’t afraid to drive.
Chen Di found a road where there weren’t many people for him to drive around a few times. When he finished, Xu Nian was noticeably more daring, and his eyes were bright and shining.
“Like it?” Chen Di asked him.
Xu Nian smiled. “Who doesn’t like a good car.”
Chen Di replied, “This is the boss’s most common car. Once you’re finished learning how to drive, he’ll probably give you a car for real.”
“He said that himself?” Xu Nian asked.
Chen Di said, “It’s what I guessed, how about I sound out the boss’s opinion for you tomorrow?”
Xu Nian didn’t say anything. He appeared to be thinking about it for a while, then he gave a close lipped smile. “Okay.”
The next day when Chen Di was at work Cheng Chen really did ask how was Xu Nian doing with learning to drive.
Secretary Chen truthfully reported, “He’s doing pretty good, he’s a smart kid.”
“Mn.” Cheng Chen finished looking over the new season’s production report, then said offhandedly, “When he’d done learning, take him to go and pick out a car.”
“……” Chen Di thought privately, fine, I haven’t even gotten to sound him out, and the boss was already spilling the beans about his feelings on the matter.
Cheng Chen raised his head and gave him a look, then said with a frown, “What are you thinking?”
Chen Di was feeling a tad conflicted, “Boss……it’s not that I’m being nosy, but your patronage relationship has been going on for how long? Isn’t gifting a car a little too excessive?”
Cheng Chen wasn’t all too happy at his words. “What do you mean?”
Chen Di had no choice but to plunge head-in. “Keeping a sugar baby, well, you shouldn’t give presents that are that extravagant…what will you do if he gets satisfied and runs off?”
“There’s no way that Xu Nian will run away.” Cheng Chen crossed his arms, then continued on with an assured voice, “He’s not like those other coy, sly hoes, how is it possible that he’d treat me so well just because of a little money.”
Chen Di was completely dumbfounded, and thought, boss, are you sure you haven’t misunderstood something?
Cheng Chen said, in a serious voice, “It must be because he actually really does like me, and really really loves me.”
Chen Di：“……”
“Although he’s a damn homo.” Cheng Chen’s leg, which was under the desk, shook in a very even rhyme. “But he’s actually pretty nice.”
Rinrin: …..maybe I’ll just say CC is a stupid tsuntsun fool once, and then it will be acknowledged as always THERE
bc I can’t just keep saying it every chapter, now can I?
Though the urge really does strike me for these and the coming chaps
Always fondly, ofc
