Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

168. I Don’t Want a Divorce

Translator: Ahve

A loud bang interrupted Wei Yuan’s affectionate reading.

The call was abruptly ended.

Wei Yuan looked at the phone screen, puzzled, muttering, “Why did you hang up? I haven’t finished yet.” There was still half page of sweet talk left.

Meanwhile, Wei Qing dashed his phone against the ground. Instantly, its screen broke into pieces.

He was like a beast caught in a trap, pacing back and forth in the living room frenziedly with his hands on his hip, his face terribly cold.

His mind was restless. No wonder Yan Chuyang wanted a divorce unexpectedly.

Before that, he was so easy-going and good-natured. Even if he got angry, he could forgive and forget as long as Wei Qing sweet-talked him. However, this time, he was so determined to have a divorce.

Wei Qing thought it was because he hugged Shen Shimin, and Yan Chuyang said it simply out of rage.

Yet he didn’t expect it to be like this.

Yan Chuyang was in love with another guy.

Somehow, Wei Qing felt less surprised now. After all, how could someone like Yan Chuyang hides his affections in his eyes?

In his early twenties, Yan Chuyang was as beautiful and lively as summer flowers, filling the air with perfume. Whoever met him would never forget him.

Wei Qing thought nothing bad would happen under his very nose as long as he kept an eye on the boy, but it made no difference. What he dreaded finally happened. The boy he loved was shining brightly like a star, and its glamour could never be shadowed.

Divorce?

Wei Qing was no fool. He would never let go!

How could he be willing to leave and let the one he truly loved be with somebody else?

He tried everything to keep the boy by his side, protect him and love him, never asking anything from him.

After all that he had done, he got himself nothing.

And the saddest thing was that he didn’t even realize that Yan Chuyang was cheating on him!

The more Wei Qing thought about it, the angrier he became. His face was overcast with sadness.

As he had nowhere to vent his anger, the phone lying on the cold ground suddenly rang.

Wei Qing let out a long sigh, suppressed his anger and picked it up.

It was Yan Chuyang.

“Hello?” The man’s voice was hoarse.

“Wei Qing?” Yan Chuyang looked at his watch anxiously. “It’s nearly nine o’clock. When will you get here? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“No need to wait.” Wei Qing said in a toneless voice, “I’m not going.”

“You’re not coming?” Yan Chuyang was surprised, “Why? Didn’t we agree on this?”

“There’s no why. I’m just not in the mood.”

“Then… When do you want to do it?”

The man’s face got serious, uttering in a loud voice, “We’re not getting a divorce! You’ll be around me for the rest of your life. You belong to me, and no one can change this fact!”

Yan Chuyang was startled, “What’s wrong with you? We had already made it clear yesterday.”

“I’ve changed my mind.” Wei Qing said primly, “It just suddenly came to me that I spent so much money to get married with you. Honestly, we’ve been together for months, but I haven’t even touched you. I should really enjoy the time with you. Why should I get a divorce?”

“Wei Qing!” Yan Chuyang’s voice was tainted with anger, “Don’t talk nonsense, okay?”

“Nonsense?” Wei Qing yelled impatiently, “I’m very calm now. Every word I’m saying is true. Yan Chuyang, I won’t divorce you.”

“What do you want then?” Yan Chuyang asked.

“I want you! All of you. Your heart and your body.” Wei Qing blurted out.

Sadness instantly filled Yan Chuyang’s heart. He roared out of control, “Do you like me? If you don’t even like me, why should I let you have all of me?”

Wei Qing froze for a moment, his expression complicated, and then he sneered, “Do you like me then? Ever since we got married, I’ve been taking care of you wholeheartedly, but what have you done for me?”

Yan Chuyang gritted his teeth, silent.

He didn’t dare to say it.

The last thing he wanted to do was to tell the truth that he loved Wei Qing all the time. If he did, he would always be overshadowed and belittled since the man was just too perfect for him.

He couldn’t let himself be so trapped.

The boy’s silence made Wei Qing’s even more furious.

He now was sure that the boy fell in love with someone else.

No matter how good he was to Yan Chuyang, the boy wouldn’t be grateful. He should have known that!

Yan Chuyang had already returned from the airport after he failed to get a divorce. He wanted to go back to school directly and live in the dormitory, but his luggage and books were all at home. He had no choice but to go back there first.

When he came back, Wei Qing was sitting on the sofa in the living room. The atmosphere here was decidedly frosty.

Yan Chuyang took off his shoes at the entrance, put on slippers and walked slowly to the man, whispering, “Wei Qing, I come back to collect my luggage. I’m moving back to my school dormitory.”

The man’s shoulder trembled. He kept silent for a while before he sneered, “Yan Chuyang, am I treating you too well?”

That was why the boy could be so defiant now. He even threatened to leave home and dared hurt him with these words.

Did he know for sure that Wei Qing couldn’t bear to see him leave?

Yan Chuyang lowered his head, “I know that you’re good to me. After graduation, I’ll work hard and make money to repay you.”

“Who wants your money?” Wei Qing roared in a rage, his voice grieved.

Yan Chuyang trembled, his hands clenching his clothes tightly, mumbling, “I know you’re rich and need no money from me. I’ll try my best to stay away from you if you hate to see me.”

Wei Qing’s heart was cold.

He stared at the person in front of him and felt that he was suddenly a stranger.

All the time he regarded Yan Chuyang as his dearest one.

He never thought himself so loving. Only those he truly cared about could get into his heart.
