Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

9. No longer under Control

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

The trip to Mexico had been very smooth.

Due to a great patience for homosexuality and the legalization of same-sex marriage, Mexico became the most popular place to the same-sex couples in the world.

With the support of the policies, Wei Qing and Yan Chuyang received two sealed certificates proving their relationship of “spouse” which were equivalent to the Chinese marriage certificates with no effort.

Yan Chuyang was afraid that these two pieces of paper would be broken carelessly, so he specially bought two red covers to wrap them up.

As soon as he arrived at his hotel room, Yan Chuyang sat on the sofa, fiddling with those two thin sheets of paper with glue, knife and hard covers, while Wei Qing walked to the balcony to make a call.

“Yes, I’ve sent you the photo of marriage certificate through the cellphone. You can show Wei Dongsheng later and tell him not to care about my marriage from now on.”

“Wei Qing.” After being silent for quite a long time, Zhuo Zhanheng sighed, “I spoiled your daddy and made him wayward, which makes you suffer too much these years. I’m really… sorry.”

Wei Qing’s face changed slightly, but soon his eyes turned cold again and he sneered.

“No need to be sorry. I’m already used to it. If he doesn’t force me to do anything, I will feel strange.”

Zhuo Zhanheng sighed, “I will try to dissuade your father.”

“There’s no need to do that recently.” Wei Qing lowered his voice. “Isn’t he going to go through an operation soon? Let him maintain his mood.”

Zhuo Zhanheng said hurriedly, “Yes, yes, yes. He’s going to have an operation soon. I’ll bend to his wishes these days. I believe he will be in a good mood when he knows you have married so that the operation will be performed smoothly.”

Wei Qing said, “I hope so.”

Zhuo Zhanheng asked one more question, “Are you still abroad?”

“Yes, I’ll fly back tomorrow afternoon.”

“Then let’s have a family dinner tomorrow night. Your daddy and I will go to your house. You know that your daddy is so suspicious that if he doesn’t see that boy, he won’t believe you have married.”

Wei Qing nodded and said, “Okay.”

Zhuo Zhanheng said goodbye on the line and then hung up the phone.

Wei Qing put his cellphone back into his pocket, held his arms against the railing and looked into the distance.

When the cold wind blew over, he suddenly felt that his necktie was so tight that he couldn’t breathe. He pulled it hard, but he still felt stuffy. He lowered his head and put his forehead on the icy railing, repeatedly rubbing.

It seemed that this would help him feel a little cooler.

He didn’t expect to compromise.

He thought his marriage would be the only chance to win in the long battle with his old and moronic daddy, but he didn’t expect that in the end, he had married a man.

How ridiculous!

They had no affection, no understanding and even didn’t know each other’s names before.

He had always said that he hated gays, but finally he married a man. Even if it was fake, he still felt it so disgusting that his throat tightened when he saw the so-called “Marriage Certificate” with his own eyes.

As expected, he had no bottom line gradually.

Actually, he should have been used to that these years.

Wei Dongsheng had treated him as a wooden puppet since he was young.

Just as Zhuo Zhanheng said, his birth was just because of  Wei Dongsheng’s whims.

All of a sudden, he said that having a baby was interesting, so he went to the hospital to provide his sperms and found a woman whom he had only seen in a picture by paying money. Then Wei Qing was born.

For a man, there would be no cost to give birth to a child. Maybe this was the reason why his daddy had never truly regarded him as his son.

Most of the time, he was treated like a pet dog.

It didn’t matter if he was obedient; however, if he didn’t obey his daddy’s words, he would be intimidated and forced.

When Wei Qing was seven years old, Wei Dongsheng ignored his thoughts and told the whole class at a parent-teacher meeting that he was a gay. All his classmates knew that he was born in a strange and even abnormal family in which he had only a gay father and no mother.

He still remembered the scene that his deskmate Pang laughed at him when clutching his belly and said he was given birth by a transvestite.

At that time, he was young and had no idea of discrimination, so he could endure.

But the older he grew, the more unbearable he felt to have been born in such a family.

It was a shame.

The awkward feeling of someone pointing at your backbone and sneering at you at all time was really embarrassing.

He had run away from home many times during his youth, but what could he do if he went out?

With the blood of Wei Dongsheng flowing in his body, he couldn’t refuse to acknowlege the fact that he was given birth by a gay.

When he was 17 years old, Wei Dongsheng forced him to change his major into economics.

When he was 19 years old, Wei Dongsheng handed over the whole company affairs to him regardless of his own will.

No one had ever asked him, “What do you want?”

or, “what didn’t you want?”

He was nothing more than a handsome puppet.

He had to endure again.

Wei Qing raised his head to stare at flash of light in the distance. In his mind, after his moronic father had successfully operated, he would marry a girl.

No matter he was fond of that girl or not.

He would no longer be under his control.
