Chapter 290

290 BECOME A GAY PRINCE

“I remember how your father firmly said that you are not gay when we had a meeting in Zuigao Hall a week ago, but you suddenly told him that you are in a relationship with me. There’s surely a loose screw in your head, Wu Jinhai,” Bai Chen spoke as he swung his legs to walk through what looked like a garden not far from Emperor Wu Shun’s quarter.

He was not familiar with the Xinyang Imperial Palace, and that was why he could only walk slowly so that he could secretly follow the other man walking beside him.

Yes, the man walking beside him was none other than Wu Jinhai, and the man had such a relaxed posture that he could even walk slowly with his hands behind his back. That relaxed expression was different from how Bai Chen looked both angry and embarrassed after they left the Emperor’s residence.

How could he not be angry and embarrassed when Wu Jinhai calmly answered the Emperor’s question by saying that the two of them were in a romantic relationship now?

In this world, even if some men tended to like other men to the point that they wanted to have sex with them, perhaps only the original Bai Chen in this world had Prince status but with that kind of sexual orientation. It was no secret that he liked sleeping with men from the Red Pavilion, but the case was different when it came to Wu Jinhai because his father had even insisted that the young man was straight.

So, even Bai Chen was shocked when he heard Wu Jinhai’s honest answer, and he couldn’t imagine how shocked Wu Shun would be after learning the truth about his eldest son.

“What’s a screw?” Innocently, Wu Jinhai asked.

“...” And Bai Chen just remembered that there was probably no screw used in this ancient world, and he secretly cursed himself by saying: “SCREW YOU!” in his head.

“Nevermind!” Bai Chen finally replied to the taller man. “You can just explain to me why you could casually unveil our relationship in front of your father instead of asking me an unimportant question!”

.....

Instead of admitting that he was wrong, Bai Chen scolded Wu Jinhai.

Luckily, Wu Jinhai was willing to cooperate this time as he answered, “I’ve been trying to appear perfect just to regain the status of Crown Prince in this empire, but I don’t want to pretend in front of my father. That’s why I better be frank in front of him, right?” He didn’t even look at the shorter person as he spoke his answer.

Bai Chen glanced at the tall man helplessly. Of course, he still remembered when Wu Jinhai had said that he had indeed pretended to be the perfect Prince so he could regain the title of Crown Prince. However, maybe the man just wanted to pretend in front of others, but his father wasn’t on the list of people he tried to fool.

“I could see how your father was still in shock even when we were about to leave him earlier. Do you think he’ll be okay?” Bai Chen asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

After all, the Werewolf Prince assumed that Wu Shun was a good person, and that was why he didn’t plan on causing trouble with the man.

“He was just shocked, but he will eventually accept it,” Wu Jinhai replied as the two of them continued to walk side by side. “I told you that falling in love with you wasn’t my plan, right? That’s why my father also didn’t expect that I would actually fall in love with you after I tried to climb into your bed.”

Suddenly, Bai Chen stopped in his tracks after he noticed something strange in Wu Jinhai’s words. He hated the difference in height between them, and he was forced to look up when the other man stopped walking too.

“So, the Red Pavilion was part of your plan? You know that I’m gay, and that’s why you even started a gay business just to lure me in?” It was another thing that Bai Chen had managed to learn from Wu Jinhai ever since the older man spoke the truth in front of him.

“Mhm,” without the slightest hesitation, Wu Jinhai replied. “Back then, I was still a straight man, and that’s why I even dared to use myself to approach you by pretending to be one of the male prostitutes in the Red Pavilion. My father also believes that I’m straight, and that’s why he can’t immediately accept the fact that his son has become a gay Prince now.”

Bai Chen almost laughed at Wu Jinhai’s words, but he only sneered in the end, “It wasn’t your plan to fall in love with me, and that’s why you would blame me for that?”

If Wu Jinhai said yes, then Bai Chen was ready to kick the man’s crotch with his foot. Once the man’s balls burst, then he wouldn’t be able to produce children, right? Maybe he would also damage the man’s penis with a hard kick, and that was why the man wouldn’t be able to have sex anymore. Sure enough, that would be the perfect punishment for a shameless person like Wu Jinhai.

Just as he was about to throw a kick at Wu Jinhai’s groin, he bumped into something on his forehead. It wasn’t a rock or a hand that touched his forehead, but it was the hard surface of the golden mask that had just made contact with his forehead.

Of course, it was Wu Jinhai who had just done that to him. Surprisingly, the man had just touched his forehead with the golden mask covering the area of his own forehead, and that was enough to break Bai Chen’s reverie.

“I don’t blame you,” Wu Jinhai replied. “Before meeting you, I also never fell in love with any woman, and maybe I was confused about my orientation. After meeting you, I finally found that you are what I need, and that’s why I thank you instead of blaming you.”

Could it be that there was so much sugar in Wu Jinhai’s mouth that the man in red could sweet-talk him? Even if Bai Chen was irritated, his cheeks were still red from what he had just heard, and he could only gently punch the taller man in the chest to get him to stop teasing him.

“Stop the nonsense for I still have another question for you, Wu Jinhai,” Bai Chen returned to his serious mode as he looked at the older man. “When are you going to go to the border to check the demonic aura there? Will you take me with you?”
