Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

186. Such a Moody Man

Translator: Ahve

He thought he would like what was inside the candy box, so he held it tightly in his arms. Yet one day, when he took a bite of the candy inside, he realized that it wasn’t the taste he liked at all.

In an instant, he no longer liked the candy box.

If one liked somebody just because of his outside, how long could his love last after he knew what was inside?

Yan Chuyang was displeased with Wei Qing’s look tainted with disdain. He shouted, “What? Why are you giving me that look? Is it hard for you to accept my affection?”

“Huh.” Wei Qing sneered, “If you really like me, why do you insist on getting a divorce? Yan Chuyang, are you tired of me? After spending a few months with me, you realize that I’m not that attractive as before. Is that right? So you don’t like me anymore and want to leave?”

“What are you talking about?” Yan Chuyang roared, frowning, “What do you mean by that? You know you’re always attractive in my heart. You know it!”

“Then why do you want a divorce?” asked Wei Qing. “If you’re not tired of me, then what’s the real reason? Tell me.”

Yan Chuyang stared at the man in disbelief, “How could you think of me like that?”

“Because you make me feel that way!” Wei Qing couldn’t hold his temper, “If you love me only for my appearance, then maybe your love is too cheap. We’ve been married for four months, and to be honest, I’ve treated you well merely because of the way you are.”

The man gnashed his teeth and then continued, “Yeah, you’re good-looking. I can’t deny it, but that’s not the reason why I treat you well. I do it because you’re so kind, considerate, and good-natured. And I’m always willing to take care of you and protect you. Even if you don’t look that good one day, I’ll still treat you so. That’s what really matters. Got it?”

Yan Chuyang was dumbfounded. After a long silence, he said haltingly, “But my feelings for you… are true as well.”

“Really?” Wei Qing roared angrily, “If it’s true, how could you say you want a divorce so easily? You don’t understand how much it hurts every time you say the word ‘divorce’ to me! Yan Chuyang, if you really love me, why do you want to hurt me like that? Maybe you just enjoy flirting with me and don’t want to be responsible at all. How could you?”

Yan Chuyang’s heart trembled from the man’s ruthless tone. After a while, he lowered his head and whispered, “It’s not like that. I won’t say that word to you again. I didn’t know that you would be so hurt, and I’m really sorry.”

Wei Qing was relieved. He strode over to the boy and held him in his arms. “So we’re not getting a divorce, right?”

Yan Chuyang shook his head. “Yeah. I don’t want to see you sad.”

Wei Qing instantly felt warm, “I know. You’ve always been so tender.”

Yan Chuyang sighed, whispering, “I’m just so in love with you”.

Wei Qing pinched the boy’s chin and stared straight into his eyes, “Didn’t you say you love me? I want to hear you say it again.”

Yan Chuyang pursed his lips, “You know how much I love you. You know it.”

“It’s okay,” Wei Qing rubbed the boy’s soft lips. “Don’t be shy.”

Yan Chuyang was persuaded. Anyway, it wasn’t the first time he had confessed his love. He hesitated yet uttered, “I love you.”

Wei Qing finally let out a long sigh of relief. He felt uneasy for a few days, yet now the sun shone again after rain.

“Say it again,” the man kissed the boy’s lips gently.

“I love you. I love you. I love… Hmmm!”

Yan Chuyang covered his mouth and frowned.

Wei Qing couldn’t help it and bit Yan Chuyang’s lips just now.

“What are you doing?” The boy mumbled, his eyes wide open.

“No divorce, right?” Wei Qing coaxed in a soft voice.

Yan Chuyang thought for a while and sighed, “Okay, for now. You’ll need some time to calm down.”

Wei Qing held him tightly in his arms, “I knew you’re always the best in the world. Just stay with me forever, please.”

Yan Chuyang felt like he had fallen into Wei Qing’s trap, but he still nodded as soon as he looked into Wei Qing’s affectionate eyes.

After freshening up, Yan Chuyang was having breakfast. Yet all of a sudden, he felt something was wrong.

After what happened yesterday, he really felt disappointed, and he was planning to talk it over with Wei Qing.

But why did he not only confess his love in a daze, but also made a promise to not divorce?

How did it happen? And what went wrong?

On the contrary, Wei Qing knew clearly that Yan Chuyang made the promise just because he was caught up in romance.

As for how much the boy loved him, to be honest, he still wasn’t so sure about it.

After all, no one would want to end his marriage with the one he truly loved so easily.

Although he had yet to figure out his own feelings for the boy, he would never want to leave the boy.

However, he was truly delighted to hear the boy say “I love you”.

The relationship between them two changed subtly after Yan Chuyang’s confession.

And it meant a lot to Wei Qing.

Honestly, he felt that he wanted to get closer to Yan Chuyang.

Sometimes when the boy smiled at him, Wei Qing wished he could turn the boy into a cute little doll, so he could take him wherever he went and kiss him whenever he wanted.

What was even weirder was that he started to dream of making love with the boy more frequently.

In the past, he used to do it a few times only when he was taking a shower and going to bed at night. Now, he just couldn’t help it even when he was working, driving and dining.

He could feel that he was getting more addicted to it.

Even if he tried hard to control his desire for a few days, it would be all in vain as long as he heard the boy’s voice.

Yan Chuyang also felt something was different.

He started to give up on the idea of divorce.

Although Wei Qing never said that he loved him, Yan Chuyang was sure that the man didn’t reject his love.

Since that was the case, Yan Chuyang actually felt less antsy now.

In the past, he insisted on getting a divorce because he was afraid that the longer he stayed by Wei Qing’s side, the deeper he would fall into love. And in the end, he might be the only one who suffered. But now, the truth was that Wei Qing didn’t refuse his love.

In other words, he could stay by the man’s side and love him as well.

Though for now, it was still a secret whether the man loved him so for the boy.

Well, fortunately, there was so much time left for the boy to find it out.

In the conference room, a company executive was standing beside the projection screen and enthusiastically talking about the work plan and the project progress of the next week.

“Ha ha.”

Wei Qing gave a little chuckle.

The conference room fell silent.

Stunned, the executive turned to look at Wei Qing and said nervously, “Mr…. Mr. Wei? Did I say something wrong?”

The executive didn’t dare to say another word. Why was the man laughing? The executive was racking his brains for an answer.

“Ha ha,” Wei Qing chuckled again as if he didn’t hear anything.

Right now, He was recalling what Yan Chuyang had said to him. The boy actually fell in love at first sight as soon as he saw the man’s photo.

Now Wei Qing was wondering which photo it was.

There shouldn’t be any private photos of him in Wei Yuan’s place, except the family photo taken when he was twenty-one years old.

It was true that Wei Qing was young as well as cheerful in his twenties, though he was not as mature and charming as he was now.

Wei Qing could even imagine how the boy’s eyes lit up the instant he saw the man in the photo, just like those girls in the company.

“Haw-haw-ha-ha-ha…” Wei Qing laughed even louder.

The executive froze, so did all the others.

Though the man was laughing, it was so frightening.

In their eyes, their boss was always aloof and seldom smiled at work, yet he was now laughing boisterously.

The executive slightly coughed and exchanged a glance with the secretary standing next to Wei Qing.

The secretary frowned and carefully leaned over to Wei Qing. She softly patted the man on the shoulder, “Mr. Wei? Mr. Wei?”

Wei Qing finally snapped back to reality as the smile on his face vanished. He then took a quick glance around, his voice still cold and deep, “Why are you all looking at me? Aren’t you going to report the progress of your work this week? Get it started now.”

All the others were shocked to see how moody the man was.
