Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

231. Keep Yourself apart from Me

Translator: Florea

It was Wei Dongsheng and Zhuo Zhanheng. The two of them were dressed in black tails and they looked very happy.

Yan Chuyang froze.

He never thought that Wei Dongsheng and Zhuo Zhanheng would appear here. Could it be that they were both invited here?

“Wow, you’re good.” Wei Dongsheng came towards Yan Chuyang with a smile and grabbed his wrist to look up and down. “You’re gorgeous. Hey, Wei Qing. He looks so good,” Wei Dongsheng glanced at Wei Qing, “You’re lucky to have him.”

“Well… Mr. Wei,” Yan Chuyang awkwardly pulled his hand back and asked quietly, “What brings you here?”

“Well!” Wei Dongsheng froze and glanced at Wei Qing. Seeing Wei Qing ignore him, Wei Dongsheng turned around and said with a smile, “We have time on our hands. And there’s a party here.”

Yan Chuyang sneered, “Oh, I see.”

Wei Dongsheng coughed. Grabbing Wei Qing’s and Yan Chuyang’s hands, he held them together, “It’s getting late. Go inside. It’s your party.”

Yan Chuyang said, “Fine. We’ll talk to you later.”

“Okay.”

Wei Qing took the boy’s hand and walked forward. Yan Chuyang followed him as Wei Dongsheng watched him from behind.

Then the boy tried to take out his hand and said quietly, “Let go of my hand. We’re almost inside.”

However, it seemed that  Wei Qing didn’t hear anything and still lengthened his stride.

Yan Chuyang was surprised and looked at Wei Qing’s face in shock.

He wanted to stay away because the two of them shouldn’t walk hand in hand on this occasion.

Wei Qing should understand it. But why…

Yan Chuyang didn’t make it. And he had to follow the man and walk straight on.

The automatic door opened.

The two of them entered, came around a corner, and walked into the conference room on the first floor.

The room was very big. It consisted of three rooms combined, covering two-thirds of the floor in area.

Under the crystal chandelier, the bright mirror-like floor shone brightly to their eyes.

Various snacks, champagne, and roses were placed on each long glass square table in the room. Each table was embellished with red roses.

A path leading to the front stage was paved with a red carpet, sprinkled with bright red rose petals.

There were quite a few people in the room. Women wore red dresses and men wore suits. They all dressed well, smiling at each other with their wine. Some were dancing to the soothing music and embracing each other.

The atmosphere was buzzy.

Yan Chuyang was afraid of being on this occasion. A bunch of people from the upper class grinned and exchanged banalities, making him feel sick and embarrassed.

“I… I’m not going inside,” Yan Chuyang interrupted the man, “You’ve been here, and they’ll let you in. They won’t care if you have a partner today or not.” Finishing his words, he was about to leave.

But before he could move, Wei Qing pulled him over again. He held his hand and opened the revolving door.

“Hey!” Before Yan Chuyang could react, he was already led into the dance floor in the middle.

The music was playing. As Wei Qing and Yan Chuyang stepped in, the dancing people stopped their movements and those who were chatting with each other turned their gazes towards them. The hall gradually quieted down and all eyes were drawn to the two of them holding each other’s hands tightly.

“Wei Qing!” Yan Chuyang struggled awkwardly and looked around anxiously. “Let go of my hand. What do you want to do?”

“Don’t move,” Wei Qing whispered, “There are so many people here. You’ll be the cause of the misunderstanding.”

Yan Chuyang was speechless, “I’m the cause of the misunderstanding? It’s you!”

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the stage in front of the dance floor, “Ladies and gentlemen!”

The loud voice attracted everyone’s attention and they turned their heads to look at the stage.

The host in suit stood with a microphone in his hand and said with a smile, “I’m glad that you are here for our autumn fashion show. It is a sudden invitation and I apologize for the inconsiderateness on behalf of the company.”

Hearing the “fashion show”, Yan Chuyang sighed with relief and looked at Wei Qing discontentedly, “Why do you ask me to be here? Besides, didn’t you say that you need a partner for a party? It is your party. Will the staff not let you in?”

“There’s nothing I can do,” Wei Qing said carelessly, “I just want you to be here by my side.”

Yan Chuyang sighed and looked forward again.

Thankfully, everyone’s attention was drawn to the host on stage. The host’s gags made the atmosphere relaxing. And the awkwardness caused by the two of them had dissipated.

Yan Chuyang took out his hand and said with his eyes wide open, “If you dare to take my hand in yours again, I’ll leave right away.”

Wei Qing nodded, “Okay. I hold your hand because I am worried you would be scared away. Since you don’t want it, I won’t force you.”

Yan Chuyang snorted, rubbing his wrist, then he said unhappily, “Why should I be scared away? I’m not afraid. I don’t know them. You should be the one who’s afraid. They are your employees and working partners. And there’ll be a certain gossip when they see you hold my hand.”

Wei Qing conceded, “There WILL be certain gossip.”

Yan Chuyang was stunned and squinted, “Then keep some distance from me.”
