333 I DO LIKE HIM
“I believe in him!” This time, Bai Chen managed to find an answer to the question immediately, and that was because he was quite annoyed that the older man kept pressing him.
He admitted that he was wrong for doubting Wu Jinhai, but Wu Jinhai had already reprimanded him for his mistake, and he didn’t want others to scold him for it. The relationship was between him and Wu Jinhai, and he didn’t like it when Yu Ming interfered.
True, he knew that Wu Jinhai did have a close relationship with Yu Ming, but he assumed that Yu Ming should know the boundaries between them even though the man probably did all of it because he cared about Wu Jinhai.
Hearing his answer, Yu Ming smirked at him before replying, “You must prove it too, Prince Bai Chen. Wu Jinhai has already proven to you that he is loyal to you, so you must also prove that you now fully trust him, right?”
“How am I supposed to prove something like that? I don’t have any black bead like him!” Bai Chen once again came up with an immediate response. “And why should I prove it to you, Yu laoban? Even Wu Jinhai believed me when I told him that I trusted him, so why should I prove it to you? Are you his mother or something? Why are you so protective of him?”
Suddenly, Bai Chen looked confident, and that was why he even attacked Yu Ming with a few questions. Even Yu Ming looked slightly surprised, but then the man in black chuckled after hearing the Werewolf Prince’s series of questions.
“You should know that I’m not Wu Jinhai’s mother because I have never married his father, Prince Bai Chen.”
“…” Bai Chen didn’t answer, nor did he think there was anything funny even if Yu Ming laughed just now.
“Do you like Wu Jinhai, Yu laoban?” After ignoring Yu Ming’s joke, Bai Chen asked a question, and the older man even stopped laughing after hearing his question.
.....
“What?” Yu Ming asked back. “Why do you think I like Wu Jinhai, Prince Bai Chen?”
“That’s because you’re very protective of him, and I can somehow sense your hostility toward me,” Bai Chen replied.
And again, Yu Ming chuckled after hearing Bai Chen’s answer. “Is that so? Is it so obvious that I like Wu Jinhai?”
“…” Again, Bai Chen couldn’t answer right away, and even his breath caught when he heard how Yu Ming had finally confirmed his suspicions.
His blue eyes that stared at the older man were getting colder and colder, and Bai Chen didn’t even know how he should respond to the confession. He had rarely felt jealous before, but he suddenly felt an uneasy feeling in his chest after hearing the confirmation.
Bai Chen continued to stare at the older man with his pair of cold eyes, and Yu Ming could probably feel that the atmosphere around them was growing tense, and that was why he sighed heavily before saying, “Aiyah! I make you feel uncomfortable, right, Prince Bai Chen? I do like Wu Jinhai, but I think it’s a feeling from an older brother to his younger brother. Do you get what I mean, Prince Bai Chen? I’ve been keeping an eye on him since he was still a baby, and that’s why I somehow feel connected to him. But if you ask me about something romantic, you can rest assured because there’s no way I like my brother, Prince Bai Chen.”
Yu Ming suddenly gave Bai Chen a lengthy explanation. In his explanation, Yu Ming once again said that he did like Wu Jinhai, but he later gave him a further explanation of the word “like.”
If Yu Ming was telling the truth, then Bai Chen wouldn’t need to see the man as a love rival, and he assumed Yu Ming was telling the truth judging by how relaxed the man was when he gave him that explanation.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Suddenly, Bai Chen felt relieved in his chest. At this time, he just realized that he had fallen too deeply in love with Wu Jinhai, and he absolutely did not want to lose him.
“By the way, Prince Bai Chen. Do you just want to hang around here while Wu Jinhai risks his life for you out there?” Yu Ming spoke again when Bai Chen fell silent, and Bai Chen focused his attention on the older man again.
“What do you mean?” Bai Chen asked back instead of answering. “Wu Jinhai asked me to wait for him in the palace. You wouldn’t ask me to secretly go to the border between Wu Li and Dong Lang when Wu Jinhai wasn’t here, would you?”
Yu Ming once again responded to his question with laughter, and then he lightly replied, “Why should I tell you to go to the border between Wu Li and Dong Lang, Prince Bai Chen? Do you think I will ask you to infiltrate Dong Lang too? You don’t know how to break the barrier around Dong Lang, and there is surely no point in sending someone like you to Dong Lang in this situation.”
“...” Bai Chen was silent again, but it was actually his fist that really wanted to answer Yu Ming with a straight punch to the face.
He was irritated with Yu Ming once again, but he could somehow understand the man’s character after knowing him for a while. Yu Ming was not a bad person, but he just didn’t have a filter in front of his mouth, which was why he often secreted poison with his mouth.
Thus, Bai Chen told himself to hold back as he finally asked, “What do you want me to do? I don’t want to stay here doing nothing either.”
Yu Ming smirked after hearing Bai Chen’s response, and then he said, “Wu Jinhai has told you everything, right? He has also told you about your mother, hasn’t he? Sure enough, you now know how your mother ended up being your father’s concubine. Someone did a dirty trick on your mother and father, and that person living in Wu Li. How about we investigate that person while waiting for Wu Jinhai’s return, Prince Bai Chen?”
