Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

185 FAIR AND UNFAIR

So, it was a real surprise coming from Zhu Ge even if Bai Chen underestimated him. Bai Chen didn’t expect Zhu Ge to give him such a surprise, but his blue eyes immediately lit up when he heard the answer from the taller man.

Remembering what happened at the court meeting earlier, he couldn’t hide how happy he was when he finally got to meet the masked man. It wasn’t that he wanted to do anything with the man, but he just assumed that he could finally question the man regarding the things that happened in the Forbidden Forest.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ge seemed to have misunderstood the meaning behind his happy expression, and he furrowed his brows in displeasure before saying again, “You’re so happy just because you’ll be able to meet Wu Jinhai, ah?”

The question that came out of Zhu Ge’s mouth sounded cold and piercing, and Bai Chen immediately erased his happy expression upon hearing it.

For some reason, Bai Chen could guess the true meaning behind such a tone. From his tone alone, Bai Chen could tell that Zhu Ge was displeased while he was happy that he was finally able to meet Wu Jinhai and ask the man further questions, and one theory formed in his head when he saw the man’s expression.

“Are you jealous of Wu Jinhai?” That was the theory that manifested in Bai Chen’s head, and he even directly questioned the man to answer his curiosity.

Since yesterday, Zhu Ge had continued to show a displeased expression when he talked about the masked man, and that was why Bai Chen was curious about the meaning behind the man’s expression.

And after he voiced his curiosity, Zhu Ge looked surprised for two seconds, but the next second, a playful grin appeared on his face before he suddenly leaned forward and brought his face closer to Bai Chen.

“Do you think I have the right to be jealous, Bai Chen?” A whisper came from Zhu Ge’s lips, and it directly hit Bai Chen’s face, causing the shorter man to pull his head back to keep some distance between them.

.....

Bai Chen almost answered with a firm “no,” but then he remembered his deal with Zhu Ge yesterday because of the system’s cunning trick, and he knew that he couldn’t say no at this point.

With a heavy sigh, the Werewolf Prince replied, “You definitely have the right to feel jealous since you will marry me in the future. Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable whenever I talk about Wu Jinhai. After all, I don’t have that kind of feeling for him.”

Bai Chen wanted to make a firm statement, but he ended up taking his eyes off the perverted man when he said that he had no romantic feelings for Wu Jinhai.

He wanted to appear confident when he said that, but he looked doubtful in Zhu Ge’s eyes, and the man in red even smiled bitterly when he saw such a reaction.

However, Zhu Ge probably chose to pretend as if he couldn’t read the meaning behind Bai Chen’s reaction as he replied, “You said that you didn’t have such feelings for Wu Jinhai. So, why did you look so happy when I told you that Wu Jinhai has agreed to meet you?”

In Bai Chen’s eyes, Zhu Ge was acting realistically when he asked the question, and he was somehow relieved that the man didn’t want to pressure him with the matters related to the masked Prince.

“As I said yesterday, I want to ask Wu Jinhai about a few things,” the Werewolf Prince replied. “And I also didn’t expect you to be able to meet Wu Jinhai so easily. He didn’t even attend the court meeting in the Imperial Palace even if Emperor Bai Guowei had invited him, so I just didn’t expect you to be able to meet him so easily.”

Zhu Ge once again raised his eyebrows as he replied, “You suddenly talked about the court meeting. Did something happen in the court meeting? Was Emperor Bai Guowei looking for Wu Jinhai?”

‘It’s actually Shao Yaoting who was looking for your friend,’ Bai Chen wanted to answer like that, but he finally swallowed the honest answer as he replied, “It can’t be said that the Emperor was looking for Wu Jinhai. They just talked about Wu Jinhai before, and since I didn’t see him at Zuigao Hall, I wonder why he didn’t even attend that important meeting. Did he tell you anything about it?”

Bai Chen assumed that he shouldn’t have let Zhu Ge find out the details of what happened in the Zuigao Hall earlier. The matter was related to Wu Jinhai, and he wanted to speak to the man in private before he could share everything with Zhu Ge.

After all, Zhu Ge was still an outsider if they talked about the incident that happened in the Forbidden Forest, and that was why Bai Chen assumed that there was no need to tell the details to the man in red.

“I had to hurry back to your palace when I met Wu Jinhai this morning, and that’s why I didn’t talk to him much other than telling him your wish to see him,” Zhu Ge replied, and Bai Chen looked a little disappointed with the answer.

After all, he had hoped to receive more information about Wu Jinhai from Zhu Ge, but in the end, he got nothing.

‘But I think it’s fair. I also didn’t tell Zhu Ge the truth, and it would be unfair if I could get more information about Wu Jinhai from him,’ thought Bai Chen as he looked at the matter from a broader perspective.

“But wait,” Zhu Ge suddenly spoke again, enough to catch Bai Chen’s attention. “When I met him earlier, Wu Jinhai did mention the court meeting at the Imperial Palace today.”

That was only simple information, but Bai Chen’s blue eyes sparkled again after hearing those words.

Seeing that expression, Zhu Ge tried to hold back his grin as he continued, “He did tell me the reason why he didn’t attend the court meeting today, and it was because he was too lazy to meet the old geezers.”
