229. Why Do You Ask Her to Do My Hair?

Wei Qing was stunned for a while. Taking a deep breath, he sat down beside Yan Chuyang and said, “I didn’t expect Wei Yuan to take this road.”

Freaking family! Was there a normal person in this family?

Yan Chuyang felt suffocated and asked lightly, “Don’t you want him to take this path?”

Gathering his wits together, Wei Qing shook his head, “No, he’s already grown up. This is his choice. And I’m just a little surprised.”

Yan Chuyang nodded. Lowering his head, he stopped talking.

The light was dim. The chirping of crickets came through the still night air from time to time and the air was cool and crisp on a summer night.

Both of them sat on the bench without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, Wei Qing leaned over and hugged Yan Chuyang in his arms. Then he said in a low voice, “You haven’t told me why you felt upset.”

Yan Chuyang sighed and rested his head on the man’s shoulder, saying moodily, “They like each other. That person is very honest with Wei Yuan. He tells Wei Yuan without any doubt or concern that he likes him.”

Wei Qing’s eyes darkened. He gently rubbed the boy’s shoulder, “Only for this reason?”

“Yes,” Yan Chuyang raised his head and stared at the man, “I am jealous when I see them. And I will think why they can be in love without any doubt or concern. They are both men too.”

“Wei Yuan didn’t do anything, but he could make that person confess to him so easily. I tried my best to like you, but why you couldn’t tell me you like me.”

“Wei Qing,” Yan Chuyang murmured, the rims of his eyes red, “Did I do any wrong? Or is it that I have a problem, so you can’t like me?”

“Yan Chuyang.”

“You can’t you like me, really?”

The man blinked and stared at the boy in disbelief. “I don’t understand what the problem is. I will pamper you and protect you. I promise that as long as you need me, I will protect you and accompany you forever. Can’t all these things put your mind at rest?”

Yan Chuyang smiled helplessly. Raising his head, he looked at the man with cold eyes and let out a sigh of relief, “Yes, I should be satisfied. I shouldn’t cause a scene and imagine things. And I’ve been much luckier than when I was young. At the very least, I should be satisfied with you accompanying me now.”

Wei Qing stared at the boy’s face and kept silent.

Then Yan Chuyang followed Wei Qing home.

He was disappointed and wouldn’t beg anymore.

It was good for him. Wei Qing didn’t like him, but he wouldn’t chuck him out. As long as he was by Yan Chuyang’s side, what else would the boy beg for?

No man was content.

It was better not to be so worried.

Even if Yan Chuyang told himself not to be worried, he still felt so depressed that he couldn’t breathe.

As soon as Yan Chuyang came home, he went to the bedroom to sleep. When Wei Qing awakened him, it was 9 a.m.

“Mmm… What are you doing?” The boy frowned and pushed the man away. With a bang, he lay down on the pillow and went back to sleep.

“Get up,” Wei Qing patted the boy’s face, “I have something to deal with today. Be good. Get up now.”

Yan Chuyang removed Wei Qing’s hand and closed his eyes, “I am sleepy. I have to rest. Just go and deal with your stuff. Don’t bother me!”

“I can’t make it by myself,” said Wei Qing as he grabbed the boy’s shoulder.

“Ouch!” Yan Chuyang opened his eyes and thumped the quilt, “I’ve told you that I’m going to sleep. You’re annoying!”

Wei Qing sighed and lowered his head to kiss the boy. “Be good. Come on, get up!”

Hearing his soft words, Yan Chuyang agreed.

Wei Qing’s gentle words make him soften.

“Ok, but you have to tell me what we are going to do.”

“A trivial matter. Can you help me?”

The boy sighed and scratched his hair with his hands. After a long silence, he said, “Fine.”

After washing his face, Yan Chuyang saw that there were two more people in the living room.

He knew one person. It was Regina, the makeup woman on his last catwalk show. The other was a fashionable woman in her thirties, and he’d never seen her before.

Seeing Yan Chuyang come out, the two women sitting on the sofa stood up and looked at Wei Qing. “Mr. Wei, do you want to start it now?”

The boy’s eyes twinkling, he asked in a hurry, “What?”

What was going to happen?

Seeing the boy unconsciously retreat, Wei Qing strode over, pulled the boy over, saying to Regina, “You don’t have to put on any makeup for him. Have his hair set and make him look mature.”

Regina looked at the boy’s fringes which covered his forehead. Yan Chuyang’s current hairstyle was very suitable for him.

His fringes just crossed his eyebrows and he was fair-skinned with good looks. But his fringes made him look childish and unworldly.

“What else should I do? Pluck his eyebrows or something else?”

“No need,” Wei Qing glanced at the boy and said, “He looks good now.”

“Well…” Regina frowned and nodded, “Okay.”

“Wei Qing,” Yan Chuyang tightened his jaw. “What are you doing now? Why do you ask her to do my hair?”

The man sighed and said solemnly, “There is an important banquet and I need to bring my partner. I wanted to take my secretary, but she can’t make it at the last minute, so I want to take you there.”
