Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

25. Not Shameful to Look for Help

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Yan Chuyang pouted, “You are too sensitive. He has a girlfriend. I’ve seen a beautiful woman sitting in his limousine several times before.”

“That must be his older sister!”

“Heck,” Yan Chuyang covered his ears helplessly and raised his head, “Dear Wei, can you stop gossiping and start to work now?”

Wei Yuan snorted, sat back down in his seat and added, “I’m not interested in intervention, but you must always be loyal to my cousin.”

Yan Chuyang couldn’t help chuckling, shook his head and started to work.

By the time Wei Qing got off work, it was already 10pm. A client had visited his company and he had some drinks with that client.

When he arrived home, the living room was having the light on. Yan Chuyang was sitting in the sofa, checking his plan while dozing off.

Yan Chuyang set a workshop with Song Huaiqi on Friday. That meant he must finish his plan by the end of the day of tomorrow. Therefore, he had to take time to finish the plan as soon as possible.

When Wei Qing was changing his shoes at the hallway, he frowned as he found Yan Chuyang was dozing with his folders in hand. Yan Chuyang was too sleepy that he was either hitting the sofa, or bumping into his folders. Wei Qing kept looking at him for a while and finally he could no longer stand it. Thus, Wei Qing walked to Yan Chuyang’s side and took his folders away. Then he patted the back of Yan Chuyang’s head and said,

“Go to bed in your room.”

Yan Chuyang shuddered, rubbed his eyes and looked up at the person in front of him when he said, “You’re back.”

“Yes.” Wei Qing untied his tie and threw it to the sofa. He then sat beside Yan Chuyang and asked, “Why don’t you go to bed when it’s already so late?”

Yan Chuyang moved closer and took his folders back from Wei Qing’s hand. Then he put the folders against his chest to avoid Wei Qing from getting them back again, saying, “I haven’t finished my work yet. I need to stay up and work overtime.”

“Work overtime?” Wei Qing raised his eyebrows, “You have not graduated yet. Why do you need to work?”

Yan Chuyang opened those folders and said, “I’m the president of one of our school clubs. Our club is going to hold an event recently.”

“Oh,” Wei Qing snorted, “You are really awesome. You are having a weak and young look, so I never expect you can take charge of a club one day.”

“Tch,” Yan Chuyang sneered, “Don’t judge people according to their appearance. My ability is out of your wildest imagination. Believe it or not, I’m the idol of many younger students in the college.”

“Haha,” Wei Qing couldn’t help laughing out loudly. Perhaps he was drunk at the moment, so he became quite easygoing. Wei Qing believed the man in front of him, who was boasting of himself, was way too lovely.

Yan Chuyang’s young age was perhaps part of the reason to explain why Wei Qing would be very relaxed when he was talking with Yan Chuyang.

The drunken feeling and the dim light made Wei Qing quite relaxed and comfortable.

“Have you drunk alcohol?” Yan Chuyang leaned closer to him and sniffed at Wei Qing’s collar. Then he frowned and said, “Seems you have had a lot of alcohol.”

“No.” Wei Qing pushed Yan Chuyang away. He could sense the fragrance of Yan Chuyang’s shower gel. The aroma made him become even dizzier.

“Tch, you must have had drinks.” Yan Chuyang got off the sofa unhappily and shuffled to the kitchen with cottom slippers. Then he got back with a cup of Pu’er Tea and handed over to Wei Qing, “Here is your Pu’er Tea to dispel the alcoholic effect.

Wei Qing said thanks and took a mouthful.

Yan Chuyang sat back to the sofa and started writing and calculating again. He must list out all detailed expenses so that one could clearly understand at the first sight. Then the project could go on smoothly.

Seeing Yan Chuyang got busy again, Wei Qing said unhappily, “It’s already past ten o’clock in the evening. What type of work are you busy with and must be finished tonight?”

Yan Chuyang didn’t raise his head and said carelessly, “Time is tight and the task is strenuous. I’m the president and should shoulder more responsibilities.”

Wei Qing put his head on the back of the sofa, rubbed his brow and asked, “Have you eaten dinner tonight?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Did you cook it by yourself?”

“No, Nanny Wang cooked it for me.”

Wei Qing had a sigh of relief and said seriously, “If Nanny Wang isn’t around, go and buy yourself something to eat from restaurants. Don’t cook for yourself.”

Wei Qing was really afraid of his “instant noodles with beef”.

Yan Chuyang replied, “I got it.”

“Have you eaten my ice cream in the fridge.”

“Yes, I have eaten only a little bit of it.”

“Did you take the cold medicine?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Didn’t you have fever in this morning?”

“No.”

“Well…”

“Aren’t you going to sleep yet?” Yan Chuyang looked up and frowned; he looked quite unpleasant.

Wei Qing snorted with some awkwardness, “Did I disturb you?”

Yan Chuyang nodded and answered without hesitation, “I’m a bit bothered. I will be frequently distracted whenever you talk to me. I’ve made several wrong calculations already.”

Wei Qing put on a straight face and said in a low voice, “Your mistake has nothing to do with me. That means you are having poor calculation skills.”

Yan Chuyang pointed to the clock on the wall and said, “Now it’s about to hit 11:00 in the evening. You are having a regular schedule, aren’t you? Why not go to sleep at the moment?”

“No, I’m not sleeping.” Wei Qing said seriously, “I haven’t yet taken a shower. I’m going to take a shower after I have some clear mind.”

“All right.” Yan Chuyang frowned helplessly and tried his best to concentrate on his calculation. He needed to work out all the calculation in the following pages.

“Alas,” Wei Qing suddenly moved closer and glanced at Yan Chuyang’s plan. “Are you working hard to get a sponsor?”

“Yes,” Yan Chuyang answered helplessly, “The school suddenly stopped funding us, so we have to find a solution ourselves.”

“Do you want me to help you?”

“No need,” Yan Chuyang rejected quickly, “I can do it myself.”

Wei Qing shook his head and snatched his folders again. When he was reading the small amount of expenditure on the paper, he smacked his mouth and said, “I’ll become your sponsor, so that you don’t need to get any other sponsor. All you need to do is to please me. Then I’ll take care of all your project expenses.”

“Not necessary,” Yan Chuyang was having a complicated facial expression. He took his folders away and said with a straight look, “I don’t need your help, as I’ve told you.”

Wei Qing shook his head and said, “You are too young. Asking for someone else’s help is not shameful at all. If you don’t know how to please others, you will have difficult times when you start to work in society.”
