章 56: He’s Treating You Differently than Us
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the first floor of the villa, in Sister Lan's room. The door was closed. Luosang lifted her sweater to expose her waist and back. Her skin was snow-white, and her waist was slim.
Sister Lan paused for a few seconds when she walked up behind Luosang with the liniment. Then, she took some liniment to apply on the bruise on Luosang's side waist, found that Luosang's skin was as tender as that of a baby.
"Luosang, you're not thirty, are you?" Said Sister Lan.
Luosang gave a start.
Sister Lan smiled and continued, "I am a woman too, and I've gone through what you are experiencing. In some respects, I know more than some men do. You said that you're thirty, but, which thirty-year-old woman can have such good skin? My daughter is in her twenties, but I feel your skin is even better than hers. You see, we're both doing tough jobs, and often need to stay up. If you're not young, you must be taking good care of your skin, but I haven't seen you do that a lot."
Luosang never thought that the ham-handed Sister Lan would suddenly become so smart. "I um… I'm twenty-two actually. You know, the younger we are, the easier we can be taken advantage of, especially us carers. That's why I lied about my age. I did it to avoid some unnecessary troubles. Besides, people usually consider older people more experienced than younger people."
"I get it," Sister Lan sighed and said, "When I just started working, I've met some male employers who liked to take advantage of me too. They behaved properly when their wives were at home, but once their wives left, they'd show their real faces. That was really disgusting. And, if you told their wives about what they did, those women would accuse you for alluring their husbands. Fortunately, I'm luckily hired by Mr. Nian. He's a good man actually. All these years, I've never seen him bringing strange women home. I think it'll be fine even if you told him about your real age."
Luosang shook her head without thinking, then said, "I won't. The owner of the Nursing Care Center took a risk to help me lying about my real age. It might affect the company in a bad way if other people know about this. Besides, I'll be leaving soon, and I think I'll never see him again after that. So I think he doesn't need to know my real age."
"Do you really think so?" Sister Lan smiled, lowered her voice and said, "Luosang, I've been taking care of Mr. Nian for years. Based on what I know about him, he's treating you differently than us. You see, he let you sponge-bath him. And just now, he asked me to get you some medicine after you two fell together like that, without being angry about you taking advantage of him. If he knows that you're younger than him, you two might have a chance to be together."
Luosang found Sister Lan's words both funny and annoying. She didn't expect Sister Lan to actually think of that possibility. "Come on, I'm a carer, so all I have done for him was just a part of my job. And just now, I saved him, and I was the one who had been taken advantage of," she said.
"Anyway, according to my experience, you're different to him," said Sister Lan assuredly, "Before, a female secretary often came here to deliver files to him. One day, he was taking a nap, and the female secretary took the chance to lie on his chest. As a result, he dragged her out of the villa and fired her. If you stay, you may have a chance to become Mrs. Nian, and that's a chance that many girls are dreaming about."
"No, no," Luosang shook her head and said, "Sister Lan, please don't tell anyone about that. I've never thought about marrying into a wealthy family. And I don't think being a wealthy man's wife is an easy job. I think Mr. Nian needs to find a girl who shares the same kind of family background with him to be his future wife."
She also believed that Mr. Nian was very different from usual people, and could drive her crazy if she stays with him for long.
"You're right though," Sister Lan seemed to be a little disappointed.
She liked Luosang, and she'd like to watch a beautiful story about an ordinary girl marrying into a wealthy family.
章 57: It Should be Clear That I am a Woman

After applying the medicine to her bruises, Luosang went upstairs. She knocked on Nian Junting's door, then walked into the master bedroom. Nian Junting was sitting by the tea table with a macadamia nut in his hand. "It took you quite a while. Is it bad? Should I call a doctor?"
"We spent some time to rub the liniment in. No need to call a doctor, because I feel much better now." Luosang walked up to him and said, "Would you like some macadamias? Let me shell it for you."
"No." Nian Junting threw the macadamia nut back into the plate on the tea table and said, "You're hurt; I should let you rest."
"Thank you…" Luosang was flattered by the rarely shown kindness of her boss.
Nian Junting curved his thin lips into a smile, then pointed at the drawer of the tea table and said, "Take out that thing in there."
Luosang bent over to open the drawer and saw an exquisite gift box lying in it. A series of English words were printed on the box. The one at the bottom was 'chocolate'.
At a glance, she recognized it as a box of limited edition Belgium chocolate. The small box would have cost nearly a hundred thousand yuan. She once wanted to try it, but then gave up because of its high price. "You like chocolate?" she asked.
'He's so picky,' she thought.
"Nian Junting snorted scornfully and said, "Who would like this girly kind of snack? My aunt brought this back from abroad. I don't like it. I want you to eat it."
Luosang was stunned. "This… I can't take it…It's too expensive…" she stuttered.
If she ate that chocolate, she would feel like she would have eaten money.
"Expensive?" Nian Junting carelessly raised his brows and asked, "How expensive can a box of chocolates be?"
Luosang rolled her eyes in her heart, then responded seriously with, "If my guess is correct, this box of chocolate would have costed at least ninety thousand yuan."
"Is ninety thousand yuan expensive?" asked Nian Junting calmly.
Luosang was really speechless. She felt that her poorness had limited her imagination. "It's not expensive for you, but it's almost a year's income for us. I think you should save it for Nian Xi."
Nian Junting picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "She doesn't like sweet things."
"But… I still can't have it…"
Bang!
Nian Junting heavily put the teacup back on the tea table and said, "I said eat it. You should cut the crap and do as I say."
"Earlier, you accused me of having too good of a diet while I was eating tofu, and said that I could only have cabbage. But now, you're letting me eat such an expensive box of chocolate. Will you take money out of my salary for the chocolate?" asked Luosang calmly.
"Am I that stingy?" Nian Junting responded angrily.
'Aren't you?' Luosang snorted silently and thought.
"Are you even a woman?" Nian Junting frowned and continued, "Aren't women supposed to be happy when receiving chocolate?"
"I'm a woman, and I think you've felt it clearly back in the rehabilitation room," said Luosang with a low voice. "And I think that normally, a man would give a woman chocolate as a gift only when he wants to tell her that he likes her."
"Are you testing me?" Nian Junting raised a brow and asked, "Do you think I like you?"
Luosang felt strange under his gaze. "No, no, I'd never dare to think of that," she said, shaking her head.
"Good," snorted Nian Junting, "I'm giving you the chocolates because you saved me just now. Also because I've had it for so long that I think it'll expire soon if no one's gonna eat it."
"Ah," Luosang now understood why and was relieved from the pressure. "Then, can I… share it with Sister Lan?"
"No," he said.
"Why not?" she asked.
Nian Junting opened his mouth, but paused.
He wasn't clear about that either. He just subconsciously didn't want Luosang to share the chocolates with Sister Lan. He only wanted her to have it, no one else.
"She's fat already. Do you want to increase her blood sugar and blood pressure by giving her chocolate? You're such an evil woman," he said.
Luosang, once again, felt speechless.
