Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

When Wei Dongsheng was about to say something, Zhuo Zhanheng dragged his sleeve and pulled him away with his arm around Wei Dongsheng’s shoulders.

When they got to the door, Wei Qing said coldly.

“Wei Dongsheng, don’t think too much. I didn’t blame you.”

Wei Qing suddenly became softhearted because he finally decided to ease their tension before Wei Dongsheng went through the operation. Alas, Wei Dongsheng was at least his biological father.

Wei Dongsheng’s eyes suddenly flashed, and he turned his head, “My son…”

Wei Qing said disdainfully, “Stop pretending to be having a close father-and-son kinship. Go away now.”

Wei Dongsheng nodded and said in a soft voice, “My son, happy marriage.”

Then he turned around and caught up with Zhuo Zhanheng.

The hall fell silent.

Yan Chuyang kept eating rice with his chopsticks and gingerly glimpsed at Wei Qing’s cold face. After quite a while, Yan Chuyang said softly, “Come and eat something. The meal is getting cold.”

Wei Qing didn’t answer.

Yan Chuyang sighed and put a piece of mutton chop into Wei Qing’s bowl, “Here, have your meat.”

“Yan Chuyang.” Wei Qing turned his face and stared at Yan Chuyang’s dark eyes, “What does your first love look like?”

Yan Chuyang was startled. He coughed slightly and said, “Not bad.” ‘And he is perfect without any flaw. Unfortunately, he is a man.’

Wei Qing nodded and leaned back unconsciously against the back of the chair, “Shen Shimin, whom you just heard about, was my first lover.”

Yan Chuyang’s eyes darkened and he whispered when fiddling with his chopsticks, “… First lover?”

“Yes.” Wei Qing squinted slightly and said calmly, “She is several years younger than me. When I was in the college, she was studying in the senior high school. We met each other on a charity banquet organized by our school. She was the leading role of a play at that time.”

Yan Chuyang suppressed his discomfort and forced a smile, “She must be beautiful, right? You must fall in love with her at the first sight, right?”

“No,” Wei Qing shook his head, “To be honest, I didn’t see her face when I first met her.”

“Oh,” Yan Chuyang was even more jealous, “Then, you人love for her grew later?”

“Not really.” Wei Qing frowned awkwardly, “I fell in love with her at the first sight.”

Yan Chuyang was even more confused, “You said you didn’t see her face when you first met her.”

“Right.” Wei Qing was serious. “I saw her back.”

“Back?”

“Yes. She was dancing when her back was shown to the audience. She was having a very cute sailor’s style uniform, having narrow shoulders, a straight neck and small ears. She jumped ups and downs like a rabbit.”

Wei Qing still remebered that his heart palpitated when he saw that dancing girl on the stage.

At that time, Wei Qing was still a freshman in the college and his daddy was trying his best to make him become a gay. Wei Qing was eager to find something to prove that his sexual orientation. And that back, as if a beam of light, suddenly lit up his struggling life.

That was the first time he saw the back of a girl. He was so excited that his heart was beating quickly, as if he had finally found some redemption. That heartbeat was a living proof of his nature. He would forever shake off the hateful tag of gay.

So as soon as the dance was over, Wei Qing rushed to the backstage to find the girl.

By the time he arrived at the backstage, the performers had already changed their uniform. He thought it would be rather difficult to find that girl out. But fortunately, Shen Shimin was the only girl among the few people staying at the backstage.

From that day on, Wei Qing decided to start to date with Shen Shimin and to have a serious romantic relationship with her. At that time, he had even regarded Shen Shimin as his significant other for the rest of his life.

“You must be very happy at that time, right?” Yan Chuyang raised his eyes and whispered, “A romantic story always begins with a loving couple between a talented boy and a beautiful girl.”

“Kind of,” Wei Qing pondered for a while and said, “with the goal of marriage, I started dating with her. So I was pretty much into that relationship.”

Youth memories were always romantic and beautiful. When remembering his time having Shen Shimin by the side, he could often recall their happy time together, the same with the other loving couples, even if his initial excitement had gradually faded away.

“Oh, that’s pretty good.” After finishing, Yan Chuyang kept silent while fiddling with his bowl. Yan Chuyang was overwhelmed and became speechless. He didn’t even know why he was curious to learn those romantic details between the guy he loved and his first love, which was really torment to him.

“Then… then why did you break up in the end?” Yan Chuyang couldn’t help but ask the question.

Wei Qing’s face became frozen, while he released a severe cold momentum. Light in his eyes was deep and gloomy.

When sensing the tension, Yan Chuyang rubbed his neck and asked awkwardly, “Am I supposed not to ask the question?”

“You are free to ask any question.” Wei Qing let out a long breath and continued, “Everything was gone. Actually, it’s okay for me to tell you everything.”

After pondering for a while, Wei Qing said slowly, “I have managed to propose to her as soon as I graduated from college. But on the day of graduation, she suddenly came and told me that she could never accept my family and the fact that I was the son of a gay. So I was rejected and she left. I heard that she had gone to the USA and married a foreigner later.”

Wei Qing had long believed that Shen Shimin must learn the fact from gossips. But to his surprise, he now knew that his father was in fact the one to blame.

How cruel! His father decided to reveal the fact on the day his son was about to propose.

Wei Qing was really angry. Shen Shimin was the one he treated seriously throughout his youth, but was finally driven away by his father.

Therefore, Wei Qing hated Wei Dongsheng. Without Wei Dongsheng, his life would never be so miserable and ridiculous. That meant, he would always become the one that people laughed at, no matter how hard he worked, or how successful he was.

Yan Chuyang looked at Wei Qing in silence and said softly, “Don’t blame your father too much. I think your daddy… didn’t really do it on purpose.”

Wei Qing sneered, “He didn’t really do it on purpose. He just did it for fun. He wouldn’t be satisfied until he forced his son to become the same monster as he is.”
