Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

164 BAI CHEN, THE BAD GUY

Bai Chen had to admit that he was selfish with his request yesterday, but he ended up getting a surprise response from Zhu Ge.

[“Very well. I will immediately arrange a meeting between you and Wu Jinhai,” Zhu Ge replied after a moment of silence, and Bai Chen knew that the raven-haired man had pondered it over carefully before he finally agreed to grant his request.

It was indeed surprising because Bai Chen only voiced the request on a whim. He had indeed hoped to meet Wu Jinhai again so that he could ask the man more about the sword, but he knew that he could not rely on Zhu Ge even if the two men knew each other.

Maybe Zhu Ge and Wu Jinhai did have a good relationship with each other, but Bai Chen could sense that Zhu Ge didn’t look happy when he kept talking about the other man, so Bai Chen thought that his wish would not be granted.

However, Zhu Ge had made a firm decision, and Bai Chen knew that it was too late for him to say that Zhu Ge did not need to arrange a meeting between him and Wu Jinhai.

Therefore, he chose to take the opportunity by asking, “Is it possible for you to arrange a meeting between me and Wu Jinhai?”

He was indeed selfish, but Zhu Ge agreed with him, so Bai Chen told himself that he didn’t force the red-robed man at all. Zhu Ge had volunteered to arrange a meeting for him, so Bai Chen believed that his attitude was not wrong.

“Mhm,” Zhu Ge replied as he nodded his head. “I can arrange a meeting between the two of you, but maybe you have to leave Dong Lang if you want to see him. I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for him to meet you in Dong Lang.”

The terms and conditions that Zhu Ge spoke were quite expected for Bai Chen. Wu Jinhai was the Imperial Prince of Wu Li, so it would be troublesome if the Prince came all the way from Wu Li to Dong Lang just to see him.

.....

Moreover, he was the one who wanted to meet the Prince of Wu Li, so he was indeed the one who had to come to the human empire.

“It’s no big deal,” Bai Chen replied firmly. “I will come with you to Wu Li so I can meet Wu Jinhai.”]

It was like the deal he made with Zhu Ge yesterday, and even if Zhu Ge sounded certain when he asked if it was okay to arrange a meeting between him and Wu Jinhai, Bai Chen could somehow see a hint of doubt on the man’s face.

Maybe Zhu Ge was really good at hiding his emotions, but the traces remained on the man’s face, and Bai Chen was somehow worried when he saw the doubt on the man’s face.

He didn’t even know why Zhu Ge looked hesitant, but Bai Chen had a hint of regret in his heart when he ended up asking too much from the man.

“I’m suddenly being the antagonist here,” Bai Chen complained as he played with the flower in his hands. “When I just transmigrated into this world, I kept saying I was straight as a metal pipe, but now I’m playing with two men at the same time. I’m indeed the bad guy here.”

Bai Chen was annoyed with himself, and he angrily threw the flower into the pond in front of him. He sat alone in the garden pavilion today, and on his way from Jing Pavilion to the garden pavilion, he randomly picked a flower before throwing it into the pond.

It was just a white flower, and he didn’t even know the name of the flower, but some fish ended up swimming towards the flower, probably thinking that the Prince was just feeding them.

Knowing that it was just a flower that had fallen into the pond, the fish looked disappointed as they quickly swam away from the flower.

Bai Chen smiled bitterly at the sight. “That’s right. Even fish can be disappointed,” he said to himself again.

When he saw Zhu Ge’s expression yesterday, he couldn’t help but think that the red-robed man might feel disappointed because he had openly said that he wanted to meet another man when they just started their relationship.

Zhu Ge probably felt displeased about it, and the man even said that he would rest in another pavilion instead of accompanying Bai Chen in the Jing Pavilion, and Bai Chen knew that the taller man was indeed annoyed.

Bai Chen knew about it, but because his body and mind were too tired yesterday, he ended up sleeping from morning to evening, and he only opened the door of Jing Pavilion when dinner was ready.

He ended up having dinner alone in the Jing Pavilion because Zhu Ge didn’t come to eat together with him.

The red-robed man didn’t even show up when he was having breakfast in the garden pavilion this morning, and Bai Chen believed that Zhu Ge was sulking because of his request yesterday.

“This is very difficult,” Bai Chen complained once again. “I do admit that I’m no longer a straight man now, but instead of falling for one man I just confessed, I fell in love with two men at the same time.”

He suddenly remembered when Zhu Ge asked him to choose between him and Wu Jinhai before they started their relationship yesterday, but he didn’t answer the question until the end. Now Bai Chen realized that he probably wouldn’t be able to answer that question.

The Werewolf Prince sighed heavily, but then he heard footsteps approaching the garden pavilion, and he immediately raised his head in anticipation. He expected Zhu Ge to approach him, but he had to swallow his disappointment when he saw Ma Qiao instead.

The old servant walked up to him with a big smile on his face, but Bai Chen only sighed heavily instead of smiling back. Disappointed, he chose to turn into the pond once more instead of welcoming the old servant.

Ma Qiao had stopped walking behind where Bai Chen was sitting, and the old servant tilted his head in confusion before crouching behind the young man who was sitting on the floor.

“What is it, Your Highness? Why are you sitting here alone instead of returning to the Jing Pavilion after finishing your breakfast?” The black-haired servant asked the Prince in a worried tone.

Bai Chen did finish his breakfast, but he seemed reluctant to return to the Jing Pavilion, and Ma Qiao looked worried about it.

“It’s nothing,” replied the young Prince without looking at his servant. “Why did you suddenly come here, Ma Qiao? Do you want to talk to me about something?”

He did not call the old servant, but the servant suddenly came to the garden pavilion. Bai Chen had known Ma Qiao’s character, and he could guess that the servant did have something he needed to tell him.

“Ah, yes. I want to inform you of something, Your Highness,” the old servant confirmed Bai Chen’s suspicions. “Someone from the Imperial Palace just came to your palace to inform you that the Emperor invited you to the meeting to be held in the Zuigao Hall today. That person said that the Emperor wanted to discuss the incident that happened in the Forbidden Forest two days ago, Your Highness.”
