Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

Chapter 88: Watching Cherry Blossoms

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

‘Just because I hugged Shen Shimin, even if it wasn’t intentional, he was jealous.

In his eyes, is Shen Shimin such an existence that no one can touch?’

Yan Chuyang clearly remembered how hard Wei Qing bit every inch of his skin last night.

It seemed like he was venting his anger, or releasing his emotions.

Anyway, Yan Chuyang could feel his displeasure. When Wei Qing bit him, he even asked him again and again. “Do you think Shen Shimin is beautiful?”

‘Perhaps in Wei Qing’s eyes, Shen Shimin can’t be blasphemed by someone other than him in any case.

After all, Shen Shimin is his cleanest first love.

He fell in love with her at eighteen or nineteen years old. How could he easily forget her?

Just like me, I fell in love with Wei Qing when I was a teenager. Even though I know the possibility that Wei Qing falls in love with me is slim to none, I still stubbornly like him until now.’

The more Yan Chuyang thought about it, the colder he felt. He unconsciously squatted down and let water droplets flow all over his body.

It was already ten o’clock in the morning when Yan Chuyang came out of the bathroom.

On the table, there were meals covered with plates. It should be the breakfast that Wei Qing left for him before he left. From last night until this morning, Yan Chuyang hadn’t eaten for seven or eight hours. Even though he was in a bad mood, his hungry stomach still let him eat all the food on the table.

After eating, Yan Chuyang was about to put away the dishes and go upstairs to practice drawing.

At this time, his phone suddenly rang and there was an unknown number on the screen.

Yan Chuyang tidied up his bowl and chopsticks with one hand while holding his phone in the other, “Hello? Who? ”

“Chunyang?” Song Huaiqi’s gentle voice came through the phone.

“Ah?” Yan Chuyang quickly took his phone down to look at the phone number. “It’s me. I don’t know what’s going on. My phone suddenly doesn’t show your name.”

“It’s not your fault,” Song Huaiqi smiled and said, “This is my other number. You probably didn’t save it.”

Yan Chuyang frowned, “You changed the number?”

“No.” Song Huaiqi said lightly, “The original number suddenly couldn’t get through to your phone. It seems that you put my number on the blacklist, so I bought a new number to call you.”

Yan Chuyang was startled, “Blacklist? It’s impossible, how could I put your number on the blacklist?”

“It’s okay,” Song Huaiqi said softly, “Maybe you accidentally clicked.”

Yan Chuyang patted the back of his head and said apologetically, “It’s probably true that I accidentally clicked. My head has always been dizzy recently.”

“Is the competition too stressful?”

“Eh…” Yan Chuyang was stunned and lowered his head guiltily. “It’s not because of the competition, it’s because of my personal affairs. Recently, I’ve always been in worry about personal gains and losses, so I’ve been in muddle along without any aim.”

Song Huaiqi said in a deep voice, “Is it convenient to tell me what is troubling you?”

Yan Chuyang’s face changed. He subconsciously lowered his hand and rubbed the table, saying, “Thank you, but it’s alright. It’s just a small problem. Besides, others can’t help me. I can handle it myself.”

“Well,” Song Huaiqi replied and suddenly said, “Yesterday I asked you to go on an outing, but Wei Yuan said you didn’t have time, so I didn’t go. How about today? Do you have time?”

Yan Chuyang’s face froze. “You ask me  to go on an outing yesterday?”

“Yes,” Song Huaiqi was surprised. “Didn’t Wei Yuan tell you? I couldn’t get through to your phone, so I asked him to help me tell you.”

Yan Chuyang sighed and shook his head. “Wei Yuan didn’t tell me. he must have been busy chasing his girl and forgot.”

Song Huaiqi smiled, “It’s fine. Do you have time today? The weather is also very good. We can go out for a walk together.”

Yan Chuyang looked up at the time and thought that he should be back in an hour or two, so he nodded and said, “I have time. I heard that the cherry blossoms at Songcheng Center Lake are blooming. Let’s go there.”

Song Huaiqi’s voice was slightly happy: “Okay, I will drive over now. Ten minutes later, let’s meet at the bridge of the Songcheng Center Lake.”

“Okay,” Yan Chuyang replied and then hung up the phone.

After Yan Chuyang hurriedly put the things on the table back into the kitchen, he went out with his bag.

It was spring, and the weather outside was incredibly good.

At eleven o’clock, the sun was warm and it wasn’t hot because of the wind.

When Yan Chuyang arrived at the bridge, Song Huaiqi was standing by the bridge and looking at the lake.

“Song Huaiqi,” Yan Chuyang smiled and walked to him. “You came so quickly.”

Song Huaiqi turned back to look at the young man who was smiling happily and innocently under the sun. His heart couldn’t help but beat faster, but no matter how eager he was, he could only hide his desire in his heart to let his face be calm as usual.

‘Now is not the time.

My business is unstable and I have such conservative parents.

I am not strong enough, and I have to rely on my family’s industry, so I couldn’t defy my parents.

Confession to Yan Chuyang is to ruin his and my life.

I have to wait for the most perfect opportunity. When I am strong enough, when I completely own this man, when I can make him have no way back but to follow me, that’s the right time.’

Song Huaiqi had always made sure that things were foolproof.

Song Huaiqi lowered his hand, secretly clenched his hands, and said softly, “My company is very close to here. I can drive over in five or six minutes, so I came here early.”

Yan Chuyang nodded and pointed to the cherry blossom tree not far away. “Let’s go there.”

“Okay,” Song Huaiqi said and walked side by side with the boy.

There were many people coming and going on the roadside, some couples, some children. The Songcheng Center Lake had become a scenic area due to the abundant cherry blossoms. Many tourists came here to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.

Yan Chuyang and Song Huaiqi walked slowly side by side along a path lined with cherry blossoms.

They didn’t have much to talk about, so they kept talking about the upcoming Comic Con competition. Yan Chuyang could clearly feel that Song Huaiqi was very enthusiastic about this competition, it seemed that he was more looking forward to going to Japan.
