Contractual Marriage: We’re Meant to Be Together

28. I Also Believe It’s a Farce

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Wei Qing thought for a moment and said, “Probably 18,000 RMB. I can’t remember it clearly. Her salary will be automatically paid to her account punctually via the system.”

Yan Chuyang swallowed and asked , “18,000 RMB a month? ”

Wei Qing said “Yes” in a deep voice.

“Hey!” Yan Chuyang suddenly straightened up and yelled at Wei Qing when he was pulling Wei Qing’s collar, “You pay me over 10,000 RMB a month for our marriage. But in fact, my salary is even lower than Nanny Wang!”

Wei Qing squinted and looked at Yan Chuyang’s shining eyes in the dark. Then he had a meaningful smile and said, “I can certainly increase your salary tomorrow, if you believe your salary is much too low.”

That deep and sexy laughter kept blowing Yan Chuyang’s mind and the bewitching voice even made him become dizzy. He was limp unconsciously and fell on Wei Qing’s shoulders when he said in a sullen voice, “That’s not necessary. Nanny Wang is working harder than I do. The harder she works, the more payment she should get. I should receive less wage than her, and that makes sense.”

“I don’t agree with you.” Wei Qing shook his head. He gently touched Wei Qing’s smooth chin and said, “You are working harder than she is.”

‘At least, Nanny Wang can never make me so relieved and comfortable.’ Wei Qing thought.

Yan Chuyang’e heart palpitated and he proudly raised his head, “Is it because I can cook delicious beef noodles?”

Wei Qing froze and said, “Never mention that beef noodles again!”

Yan Chuyang chuckled and then got into Wei Qing’s embrace. But suddenly, Yan Chuyang’s face changed and he suddenly straightened up when he said, “Oh my god, that must be the end of the world. I’ve forgot something serious.”

Wei Qing let loose of Yan Chuyang’s waist, frowned and said, “What it is?”

“I was looking for a note downstairs. But I ended up… forgetting about it!” Wei Qing jumped down from Wei Qing’s hug as he was speaking.

“A note?” Wei Qing also stood up, “What note are you looking for?”

“It’s a a note full of ‘Ahs’ and “Hmms’.”

Wei Qing twitched his mouth and asked, “Huh?”

Yan Chuyang said frankly without hesitation, “Wei Yuan found a girlfriend, but his girlfriend is a fujoshi, a girl fond of watching gay couples.”

“And then?”

“Then, that girl happened to have heard of my story and believed my voice is pleasant to hear. That’s why she asked Wei Yuan to record my moaning in bed. She threatened that she would leave Wei Yuan forever, if Wei Yuan couldn’t get my moaning.”

“Moaning?”

Yan Chuyang nodded. “Like ‘hmm’ and ‘ah’.”

“That’s a sheer farce!” Wei Qing was having a pale face.

Yan Chuyang waved his palms, “I also believe it is a farce.”

Wei Qing stood with arms akimbo and kept silent for a while. Then he said, “You are not allowed to record that. I’ll give Wei Yuan a call and tell him to stay away from you.”

Others might not know Wei Yuan very much, but Wei Qing knew this cousin very much. Wei Yuan had always been a bad boy since his childhood. Yan Chuyang was a pushover and quite innocent, and he was likely to be badly influenced by Wei Yuan. Wei Qing didn’t want Yan Chuyang to become someone like Wei Yuan.

Yan Chuyang nodded and said carelessly, “I’d like you to stop him, because I never want to help him finish this task.”

Wei Qing nodded, turned around and walked over to the coffee table. Then he quickly dialed a number.

Yan Chuyang looked at Wei Qing’s side face when Wei Qing was dialing. He was in a daze and suddenly remembered Wei Yuan’s threat when Wei Yuan said, “If you refuse to help me this time, I would call my cousin today and tell him you have always been in love with him.”

“No. Stop!” Yan Chuyang rushed and grabbed Wei Qing’s phone away. Then he quickly ended the phone call.

“What are you doing?” Wei Qing looked impatient.

“Uh…” Yan Chuyang hid Wei Qing’s phone behind him and said while trying to avoid Wei Qing’s gaze, “I, after a second thought, I believe you’d better stop the call. I suddenly remember that Wei Yuan’s girlfriend is in fact one of my friends. She, she has always been nice and kind to me. Finishing her task is not a big deal to me actually.”

“Yan Chuyang!”

“Yes, indeed.” Yan Chuyang raised his head and said seriously, “It’s not something important anyway. Since she has such request, I’m likely to help her.”

Wei Qing frowned. “If you record this moaning, wouldn’t your girlfriend be jealous?”

“Ah?” Yan Chuyang was stunned.

Wei Qing repeated impatiently, “You told me that you are having a girlfriend. Will your girlfriend have some discomfort after she found you’ve helped someone else by recording your moaning in bed?”

Yan Chuyang squinted and rubbed the floor with his slippers when he said, “Well, it’s fine for her because she trusts me very much.”

Wei Qing snorted coldly, “Then, do as your will. I’m not intervening in your business anymore, since we are nothing but business partners.”

Yan Chuyang said “Oh” and turned on the floor lamp beside the sofa. The dark room became bright immediately.

Yan Chuyang started to look for that note around the sofa and finally found that the note was left in a small seam of the sofa.

After taking out the note, Yan Chuyang turned around and said to Wei Qing, “Sleep early. Good night.” Then he quickly trotted to the bathroom.

“Hey!” Wei Qing shouted, “It’s very late. Why are you going to the bathroom?”

Yan Chuyang waved the recorder in his hand and answered, “Bathroom has a better sound insulation effect. No one could hear what I’m saying.”

“Tch,” Wei Qing said in a disdainful tone, “Only two of us are inside the house. Are you afraid that I might overhear you?”

“No, I’m not afraid.”

“Don’t think too much,” Wei Qing sat in the sofa when his shoulders were upright straight, and said, “It’s really disgusting for me to hear a man having such kind of voice. I’m not interested at all. I’ll cover my ears!”

Yan Chuyang had a flash of painful daze. It felt like a needle was piercing his heart.

‘Wei Qing is obviously reluctant to a man getting close to him. If I told him later that I’ve always been in love with him, would he hate and try to avoid me?’ Yan Chuyang thought.

“Alas,” Yan Chuyang lowered his head in disappointment and said weakly, “I’ll try my best to keep quiet, so as not to disturb you.”

Yan Chuyang went to the bathroom with a steady footstep.

Yan Chuyang lost in his thought in the bathroom. After a while, Yan Chuyang came back from his thought and got ready for the job. Wei Yuan needed it tomorrow. It was already in the middle of the night. If he didn’t hand over the recording to Wei Yuan tomorrow, Wei Yuan would release his secret thoughts to Wei Qing. That would be the end of world to Yan Chuyang.

Yan Chuyang took out the recorder and pressed the switch. Then he unfurled the note and started reading for the first time. When he was recording, he paused, adjusted his breathing pace and made his breath become more hoarse, accordingly to what had been written in the note.
