Chapter 90: Are You Unhappy to Come out with Me?

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

“Don’t worry,” Song Huaiqi said with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong, I know that you treat Mr. Wei as your brother. I just think you two are very close.”

Yan Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief sightly, rubbed the back of his head and stammered, “Our…our relationship is not bad, after all, he’s my relative.”

Song Huaiqi’s eyes darkened, and the uneasiness in his heart was intertwined like vines.

He didn’t forget that when he went to watch the dance show of the Yan Chuyang’s club, Wei Qing told him that Yan Chuyang and him were not real cousins and that they were unrelated by blood.

However, Yan Chuyang was lying now. What was he afraid of? Or what did he want to cover up?

Shen Shimin was confused when she was listening to them nearby.

‘Is Yan Chuyang the cousin of Wei Qing?’

She had been going out with Wei Qing for several years. Apart from knowing that Wei Qing had a cousin called Wei Yuan, why had she never heard that Wei Qing had another cousin called Yan Chuyang?

Did this cousin suddenly appear? Wan’t it too strange?

“I often hear of you from Yan Chuyang,” Wei Qing suddenly came over and extended his hand towards Song Huaiqi. “I hear that you have helped Chuyang a lot at school.”

Song Huaiqi’s eyes twinkled, and he smiled and shook hands with Wei Qing, “It’s nothing. My major is just the same as his when I am in graduate school. He would ask me about any academic knowledge that he doesn’t understand. He is intelligent and can easily make sense of it with my advice. And I haven’t helped much.”

Wei Qing lowered his hand and smiled kindly, “Anyway, I still have you to thank for helping my cousin. Although Yan Chuyang is weak, he is still better with someone helps him at school.”

Yan Chuyang stiffened his neck and yanked at the corner of Wei Qing’s clothes, “You’re talking nonsense! Who is weak? ”

Wei Qing ignored him and shook off the boy’s hand. He continued to look at Song Huaiqi and smiled, “I want you to come to a meal if you have time. And I’ll treat you to express my thanks to you for taking care of Yan Chuyang.”

Yan Chuyang was shocked. He never thought that Wei Qing would invite Song Huaiqi.

Song Huaiqi’s expression changed. He also seemed to not expect Wei Qing to suddenly invite him, “Are you going to invite me to your house?”

Wei Qing nodded and gathered Yan Chuyang to him. He touched the back of his head and said, “Yan Chuyang is young and don’t know much how to get on with others. He might not have invited you for a meal to thank you formally. Mr. Song, if you’re willing to do me the honor, would you like to come and sit down to have a nice drink with me tomorrow?”

The corner of Song Huaiqi’s forehead twitched. He never thought that things would suddenly come to this that Wei Qing would treat him to a meal ─ and in his house! Were the two of them so familiar?

“Wei Qing…” Yan Chuyang moved close to him anxiously, lowered his hand secretly and pinched the man’s thigh, whispering, “What are you doing?”

Wei Qing shook off his hand, continued to look at Song Huaiqi and urged, “Mr. Song, how about coming to our house at eight tomorrow? I’ll ask Chu Yang to send you the address then.  Please come to our house and have fun.”

Song Huaiqi’s skin between his eyebrows twitched and he remained silent for a while. Finally, he nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll be free tomorrow anyway.”

Wei Qing shrugged his shoulders. “That’s great. I’ll call the nanny in a while and ask her to clear up and prepare tomorrow’s food well.”

Song Huaiqi waved his hand, “You don’t have to be so courteous. Just prepare it simply.”

Shen Shimin was completely left aside who stood awkwardly for a while, and finally stepped forward, unwilling to feel slighted. She took Wei Qing’s arm and said, “It’s getting late. Isn’t there still something in your company? Since you’ve made an appointment, let’s go back.”

Wei Qing said, “Okay”. Although he didn’t look so good, he finally didn’t shake off the girl’s arm. He just looked at Yan Chuyang. “You should go home too. Isn’t there a class in the afternoon? After lunch, go home and have a nap before go to class.”

Yan Chuyang shook his head, “I’m not going home. Last time, I said that I’d like to invite Mr. Song to a food stall. And I happen to be free today, so I want to take him to the restaurant in front of us.”

When Song Huaiqi heard this, his eyes immediately twinkled, “The food stall? Wonderful, I’ve always wanted to go there, but with none accompanying me, it’ll be very strange to eat alone.”

Yan Chuyang smiled, “Today, I’ll treat you in return for your coffee.”

Song Huaiqi nodded and walked forward with him shoulder to shoulder.

Wei Qing’s eyes darkened and his aura dropped to freezing.

“Yan Chuyang,” the man suddenly called him.

Yan Chuyang turned around, “What’s wrong?”

Wei Qing pursed his lips and kept silent for a long time before whispering, “Don’t eat anything too hot or spicy, and don’t drink.”

Yan Chuyang replied, “I got it,” then turned around and continued to walk forward with Song Huaiqi.

Wei Qing was frozen there and stared at the figures of the two people with gloomy eyes.

“I don’t think Song Huaiqi treats Chu Yang badly,” Shen Shimin suddenly spoke nearby.

The man’s jaw tightened and his voice was gloomy. “Really?”

“Yes,” Shen Shimin squinted slightly and said, “I feel that his attitude towards Chu Yang is very gentle. His eyes are also very rapt as he looked at Chu Yang, and he takes good care of Yan Chuyang’s mood when he speaks and deal with things.”

“Well,” Wei Qing sneered and said in an unclear tone, “Is this just how he treat him well?”

‘He just sweet-talk him and seemed gentle on the surface. If he really treats him well, it would be impossible for Chu Yang to just take him to the food stall.’

‘How much is the food worth in the greasy spoon? What kind of surroundings is it in? It is just dirty and messy filled with junk food barbecued.’

‘Yan Chuyang is really an idiot. Aren’t they just going to eat in the greasy spoon? Why is he still happy to go with him like a fool? Does he really have no idea who treats him well?’

‘The nutritious breakfasts that I have tried many methods to cook every morning for him seem to be fed to the dog. Yan Chuyang ,you heartless ungrateful oaf!’

“Wei Qing?” Shen Shimin shook his arm. “What’s wrong with you? You look terrible.”

“I’m fine,” Wei Qing came down to earth, adjusted his expression and said, “I’ll take you home.”

Shen Shimin’s eyes darkened and she lowered her eyes and said, “Wei Qing, since I went to the company to look for you, you’ve been not yourself. Are you unhappy because of coming out with me?”

Looking at the woman’s lonely side of her face, a flicker of impatience crossed Wei Qing’s eyes.

Why didn’t he find out before that Shen Shimin was so sensitive? They just came out to have a walk that she would be so much trouble. And he still had to consider about her emotions all the time.
