Chapter 155

155 A POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK

Two pairs of sinful lips were forced to part when their owners heard a loud noise that managed to interrupt their moment. The source of the sound was not far from them, and that was why the two men were able to react immediately upon hearing the sudden noise.

The shorter one even immediately pushed the taller one to put some distance between them before he turned his gaze to the source of the sound that had just interrupted their moment.

It wasn’t that he liked it when Zhu Ge kissed him, but that Bai Chen only liked the warm sensation when their lips met. For some reason, he could feel a familiarity with the kiss, and he frowned before realizing that it was not the first time Zhu Ge kissed him.

‘I thought Zhu Ge’s lips were similar to Wu Jinhai’s, but maybe men’s lips do resemble each other. I shouldn’t think about it too much,’ Bai Chen said to himself before he shook his head slightly.

Putting any unnecessary thoughts aside, he now focused his gaze on the old servant who had just dropped a tray full of food after witnessing the Prince being kissed by the young servant.

“Don’t forget to blink your eyes, Ma Qiao. I’m afraid your eyes will fall out of their sockets if you keep looking at us like that,” Bai Chen immediately reminded the old servant when he realized that the servant didn’t even blink his eyes as if he was possessed by a spirit.

It was indeed Ma Qiao who had just caused the noise that managed to separate the two men from each other, and that was why Bai Chen was able to return to his relaxed expression knowing that only his servant had witnessed how intimate he was with Zhu Ge.

‘At least, it wasn’t the Emperor or the Crown Prince who suddenly came to my palace and witnessed our kiss earlier,’ Bai Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The old servant finally blinked his eyes, and instead of squatting on the ground to pick up the things he had just dropped, the old servant rushed toward the two youngsters before pushing Zhu Ge aside and standing right in front of the Prince.

.....

“Why did you let this slut kiss you like that, Your Highness? Did he force you? Perhaps you did buy him from the Red Pavilion so you could have fun with him, but he is only your servant now, Your Highness. Why did he kiss you like that?” The old servant ambushed Bai Chen with questions before he glared at the culprit causing the old man to feel irritated right now.

Bai Chen realized that his old servant wasn’t wrong. The old servant was fine with him doing intimate things with Zhu Ge when the man was still a prostitute, but the young man’s status had changed two weeks ago, and that was why the old man could not accept it when a servant dared to do act intimately with the Prince.

The Prince knew that the old servant wasn’t wrong, and that was why he calmly replied, “Why do you look so surprised, Ma Qiao? Doesn’t that bird song have lyrics about how I dared to play with the hares without closing the door just like what Zhu Ge did to me just now? And from that song, you should know that I won’t care about a person’s status before I can be intimate with that person, right? That’s why is it okay even if Zhu Ge is just my servant.”

Bai Chen could say that Ma Qiao shouldn’t be surprised by the kiss, but actually, he was also surprised by what Zhu Ge had done to him. His thoughts were interrupted by something when Zhu Ge suddenly landed his lips on his, and he was surprised even if the taller man had given him advance notice.

He said that to Ma Qiao only because he knew that he still needed to act as if he was the real Bai Chen.

“Aiyah! You are right about that, Your Highness!” It seemed that Ma Qiao had just recalled the Prince’s bad habit. “But you’ve been behaving so well lately, so I didn’t expect you to do something like that with this slut in broad daylight! That’s why I was very surprised!”

Ma Qiao overreacted, but Bai Chen had to admit that the servant was not wrong again. The one who shamelessly played with the hares without closing the door was the real Bai Chen from his world, so after he transmigrated into this world and took over the real Bai Chen’s body, the people here would think that he had changed his behavior.

“Bad habits won’t die easily, Ma Qiao,” Bai Chen replied calmly as he positioned himself on the table in the garden pavilion. “Quickly clean up the mess you just made and prepare the food for me. I’m already so hungry, and I might be able to eat another wolf now.”

The Prince remained calm, and Ma Qiao knew that he couldn’t continue to annoy the young man. Nodding his head obediently, he then glared at Zhu Ge again before saying, “You clean up the mess, Zhu Ge. I’m going to the kitchen to get the food for His Highness.”

The old servant boldly ordered him around, and Zhu Ge raised an eyebrow before replying, “Why should I clean up this mess? His Highness ordered you to do that, but you dare to order me instead, lao Ma? What’s more, you are the one who caused the chaos, so you have to take responsibility. Don’t you think you are too shameless?”

Zhu Ge carelessly mocked the old servant for being shameless, unaware that he was shameless too with his action toward Bai Chen earlier. He was like a pot calling the kettle black, right?

Bai Chen gritted his teeth as he could sense that the two servants were about to start arguing with each other in front of him, but before the fire could burn through the peaceful morning, he decided to intervene, “You sit here, Zhu Ge.” Before he turned to the old servant and said, “And you can ask another servant to clean up the mess if you want to take food in the kitchen, Ma Qiao.”

Again and again, Bai Chen came forward to defend Zhu Ge, and Ma Qiao gasped after hearing the instructions given by the Prince. He looked at the young Prince with his pair of puppy eyes, but it seemed that the Prince had no intention of changing his mind as he immediately looked away from the old man.

Ma Qiao knew that he had lost, so he could only obediently turn around before walking towards the palace kitchen.

Zhu Ge smirked when he saw that he had won the battle against the old servant once again, and he calmly positioned himself next to the Prince on the floor.

“Your servant dared to disturb us, and he also dared to order me around. Don’t you think you should punish him, ChenChen?” Placing his elbows on the table, Zhu Ge seductively questioned the young Prince.

The pair of blue eyes rolled lazily after their owner heard how Zhu Ge shamelessly said that Ma Qiao dared to disturb them.

“You say that Ma Qiao is shameless, but you are the most shameless person I have ever met,” the brown-haired man scolded the young servant. “And why did you suddenly kiss me? I didn’t even give you permission, but you shamelessly kissed me in front of Ma Qiao.”

The Prince had just reprimanded him, but Zhu Ge could still smile innocently at the Prince. “So, I can’t kiss you? I can’t kiss you when you’re this cute, ChenChen? I kissed you because you’re so cute, so you can’t blame me because it’s your fault.”

Not only did he dare to blame Ma Qiao, but Zhu Ge could even blame Bai Chen, and Bai Chen immediately glared at the brazen man. He was about to scold the man again, but when he saw the pair of brown eyes up close, he could suddenly feel a sense of familiarity.

The young Prince decided to swallow his anger as he suddenly stretched out his hands and landed them on Zhu Ge’s face. The owner of the face looked confused by what the Prince had done to him, but he didn’t protest while waiting for the Prince to say something.

However, Bai Chen didn’t immediately say a word as he continued to use his hands to cover Zhu Ge’s face. His hands weren’t that big, so he couldn’t cover the man’s whole face. He could only cover the man’s cheeks, but he kept his hands on the cheeks as he focused his blue eyes on Zhu Ge’s pair of brown eyes.

If he just focused on the pair of brown beads without seeing the man’s face, he couldn’t help but feel that he had seen the eyes somewhere, but the owner was not Zhu Ge.

“Do you know someone named Wu Jinhai, Zhu Ge?”
