Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

181. Could You Go Home?

Translator: Ahve

Seeing the two tightly hugging, Wei Qing turned and walked out of the room.

Yan Chuyang suddenly turned his head, as if he could feel Wei Qing was leaving, only to see the man’s receding figure. Yan Chuyang felt his heart ached and could hardly breathe.

The award ceremony finally ended with the principal’s reprimand.

And in the end, blinded by his evil intention, Lu Haolin disgraced himself in front of everyone.

He snapped pictures of Yan Chuyang and slandered him out of jealousy, all of which wasn’t decent at all in the others’ eyes.

On the contrary, Yan Chuyang bravely acknowledged his true feelings. Although it was quite unexpected to his classmates, they were still willing to wish all the best wishes for him. After all, love was love, and no one should be scorned for pursuing true love.

Yan Chuyang waited for all the classmates to leave and apologized to the teachers and principal for what happened sincerely. Then he went out as well with Song Huaiqi.

It was already five o’clock in the afternoon. Outside, the sky was overcast as if it was going to rain.

Yan Chuyang relaxed a bit and let out a long sigh as soon as he went out.

Song Huaiqi patted him on the shoulder and consoled, “It’s okay now. Don’t think too much.”

Yan Chuyang raised his head and stared at the person in front of him. “Senior, I really have to thank you for your help today. If you didn’t step forward and tell a lie for me, I really don’t know what to do.”

Song Huaiqi whispered with a wry smile, “I hope… it’s not a lie.”

Yan Chuyang didn’t quite catch what he said. After a moment, he added, “Anyway, you’ve helped me a lot. I owe you a favor. And if there’s anything I can do for you, please just let me know. I’ll go all out to help you.”

Song Huaiqi’s eyes lit up with joy, “Anything?”

Yan Chuyang nodded earnestly, “As long as I can help, I surely will…”

“Yan Chuyang,” behind him, a deep voice rang.

The boy felt a lump in his throat the instant he heard the familiar voice. He couldn’t help feeling aggrieved.

He was never upset even when he was despised or insulted by Lu Haolin back then. But now, he could barely control himself while hearing Wei Qing call his name.

Wei Qing… Wei Qing… How could you still be so calm after all that had happened?

How could you sit there and watch me be bullied and wronged just now? You didn’t even stand up and say a word for me!

You just let me face the hardship alone.

If you never truly cared about me and are so afraid of admitting our relationship, why don’t you get a divorce and set me free?

Yan Chuyang was completely confused about what Wei Qing wanted to do.

Wei Qing walked up to Yan Chuyang, his tone calm as usual, “It’s getting late. We’re going home now.”

Yan Chuyang didn’t respond, yet Song Huaiqi was so angry that he rushed to the man, got him by the collar and yelled.

“Wei Qing! Can you stop being so sanctimonious? Now you want to take him away? What did you do when he was bullied? I know the man in those photos is you. Do you really love him, huh? And you just let him be insulted because of you. Are you still a man?”

Wei Qing snorted and prised Song Huaiqi’s fingers from his collar easily, “Well, I think you can ask Yan Chuyang if I’m a man. He knows everything about me.”

Realizing the hidden meaning in his words, Song Huaiqi roared angrily, sullen, “You bastard! If you really care about him, why didn’t you dare to stand up for him just now? You didn’t even dare to admit that it was you in the photo. Who are you to take him home?”

“Who am I?” Wei Qing said coldly, “We’re married. I’m his husband…”

“Stop it!” Yan Chuyang interrupted them and looked at Wei Qing.

“Mr. Wei, it’s really been a long day for me. I’m too tired to say anything more to you. Please go back.”

Wei Qing looked a bit downcast and pulled the boy’s wrist. “If you’re tired, go home and get some rest. I’ll drive you back.”

“No need,” Yan Chuyang pushed his hand away. “I’ll find a place to sleep.”

“Listen to me,” Wei Qing put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “It’s not safe outside at night. Let’s just go home.”

Yan Chuyang finally lost control and yelled, “Mr. Wei, don’t you get it? I’m not going home with you today! I feel very tired, and I don’t want to see you now!”

Wei Qing withdrew his hand reluctantly, “If you don’t want to see me, I’ll ask the driver to pick you up, okay?”

“Don’t bother,” Yan Chuyang turned his head impatiently. “I’ll sleep in my rented house tonight. I’ll go to your place and get my luggage in a few days.”

Wei Qing’s hands trembled, “Do you have to move out?”

“Yes,” Yan Chuyang gritted his teeth. “It’s good for both of us. We have to let it go.”

“But I don’t want you to go.”

“How shameless!” Song Huaiqi sneered in disdain.

The man was such a hypocrite. He just pretended nothing had happened. Just a moment ago, he left Yan Chuyang alone to take the blame for what he had done and acted like a selfish coward. Now he tried to sweet-talk the boy into staying by his side.

Was there anyone cheekier than him?

Yet Wei Qing didn’t care about anything that Song Huaiqi said. The only one in his affectionate eyes was Yan Chuyang. He stared at the boy and tried to persuaded him, “Could you go home with me? You know you’re not used to sleeping without me by your side.”
