Chapter 202

202 REVEAL THE SECRET ONE BY ONE

This was Bai Chen’s first time revealing his ultimate goal to someone after transmigrating into this world, but he didn’t feel worried because he didn’t even tell Zhu Ge that the goal was part of the mission Bai Lang had given him.

He remembered the rules that Bai Lang had given him, and he knew that he would be fine as long as he didn’t reveal the truth that he wasn’t the real Bai Chen in this world, and he just transmigrated to this world and used Bai Chen’s body to complete the mission.

He had just learned the truth that the real Bai Chen of this world had died because that man had committed suicide for reasons that remained unknown to him, but he knew that he could not reveal the truth in front of Zhu Ge.

Thus, he could only reveal to Zhu Ge that he wanted to become the next Emperor in Dong Lang, and he expected that the taller man would laugh at him because his goals might sound ridiculous to the man’s ears. After all, he was just the Emperor’s unwanted son, so it was likely the Emperor wouldn’t be willing to hand over the throne to him, right?

However, as he continued to stare at the black-haired man, Bai Chen did not see the slightest hint of ridicule on the man’s face, and instead, the man simply continued to stare at him seriously.

“If that’s what you want to get, then I’ll help you get to that position,” Zhu Ge said, and Bai Chen could feel his heart pounding once more after he heard the man’s sincere reply.

Zhu Ge indeed did not mock Bai Chen, and even if Bai Chen continued to stare at those pair of brown eyes, they did not turn away from him as they continued to stare at him, and it was a sign that the man was sincere with his words.

Perhaps this was Bai Chen’s first time receiving support from someone who was not Bai Lang since he transmigrated into this world. The little wolf was the creator of the system, and when the wolf was in its angel mode, then it would give Bai Chen mental support when the Prince needed it.

For more than a month Bai Chen had lived in this world, and Bai Lang was the only one who could support him regarding the mission because the wolf was also the only one who knew about the mission, but just now he received another support from Zhu Ge, and his eyes were filled with disbelief as they continued to stare into Zhu Ge’s brown eyes.

.....

Zhu Ge could probably see that Bai Chen was surprised, and that was why he suddenly laughed before using his hand to pinch the shorter man’s cheek. “Why are you looking at me like that?” He asked. “Did you think I would laugh after you told me your goal? Did you think I would make fun of you?”

Surprisingly, Zhu Ge managed to understand Bai Chen’s feelings, and that only caused Bai Chen to become even more speechless after hearing how the man had accurately guessed his feelings.

“If you tell others about it, maybe they will mock you because the Emperor never liked you here, but I don’t think your idea is ridiculous,” Zhu Ge spoke again as the younger man remained silent. “Whether the people in this empire like it or not, you are still the descendant of the Emperor, and you are the one who has the right to become the next Emperor after the current Emperor died because Bai Renshu has died yesterday. That’s why I don’t think your goal is ridiculous.”

It turned out that Zhu Ge did not blindly support him, but the man was a very realistic person who had calculated the situation before he could confidently show his support for Bai Chen.

Bai Chen could understand it, but then he let out a heavy sigh before moving his hand to catch Zhu Ge’s hand that was still pinching his cheek before pulling it away from his cheek.

“You made it sound easy for me to gain the throne after the Emperor died, but the Emperor just told me today that he would not let me become the new Crown Prince even if Bai Renshu has died,” Bai Chen replied to Zhu Ge, and he once again revealed something that was supposed to be a secret since it was related to Dong Lang’s personal affairs.

He knew about it, but he still wanted to tell Zhu Ge that it would not be easy for him to complete his mission.

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

Hearing Bai Chen’s weak statement, Zhu Ge did not immediately reply, and he just continued to stare at the Prince in silence. His hand was still in Bai Chen’s grasp, but then he reversed their positions as he became the one to grip Bai Chen’s hand and squeezed it lightly as if to give the Prince silent support.

“You still remember when I told you that Wu Jinhai had agreed to meet you, right?” Once again, Zhu Ge suddenly brought up another topic, and Bai Chen innocently blinked his blue eyes at the man when he just realized that he still had an agenda to meet with the Prince of Wu Li.

“Yes, I still remember about it,” Bai Chen replied. “You told me that he agreed to meet him last night, but because of Bai Renshu’s sudden death, I had to change plans yesterday. Do you think he still wants to see me?”

Bai Chen was supposed to meet Wu Jinhai last night, but he couldn’t leave the empire when the Crown Prince had just died, and that was why he was forced to cancel his plans.

Now he was worried if Wu Jinhai would also change his mind because of that, but the next thing he saw was how Zhu Ge smiled at him before saying, “You don’t have to worry about Wu Jinhai. I have spoken to him again, and he agreed to meet you in three days. What do you think of that?”
