Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

341 NOT A GUEST

Fan Zedong was definitely far from poor. He was the richest man in the district, and his large house was enough to prove that he was far from poor and that he needed no one to pity him.

He was not poor, but his condition this evening seemed dire due to his poor health, and somehow he looked even more pitiful after receiving the Werewolf Prince’s reply.

“Bai’s surname... Tang Yanmei... don’t tell me that you are... Prince Bai Chen?” Surprised, Fan Zedong asked Bai Chen that question.

The two of them sat facing each other, and because of that, they could look at each other without anything to distract them. It was clear that Fan Zedong was trying to observe Bai Chen’s appearance, and his eyes even widened as if he wanted to see every detail about the young man.

“I... I have often heard about you, Your Highness. But it was only tonight that I had the chance to see you in person. I apologize for not being able to recognize you,” Fan Zedong shyly lowered his head to show his respect to Bai Chen.

Maybe he still didn’t believe it. He had previously been sleeping in his chamber because he wasn’t feeling well, but then two Princes had suddenly come to visit his residence. One of them was the Prince of Wu Li, while the other was from Dong Lang. That was very unexpected, and that was why the old man looked like he was still dreaming instead of facing reality.

“We didn’t come here to hear your apology, Master Fan,” Yu Ming suddenly chimed in from the side after hearing Fan Zedong’s second apology.

Maybe the man dressed in black sounded impolite, but he did have another purpose he even left the Xinyang Imperial Palace for this place tonight, and that was why he didn’t want to waste any time as he got straight to the point.

This time, Fan Zedong once again turned to Yu Ming before looking at the man with a hint of fear in his eyes. Yu Ming’s appearance was indeed the most intimidating among the three guests who had come to visit him tonight. Wu Jingguo looked calm in his light blue robe, while Bai Chen looked holy in his white robe. Meanwhile, Yu Ming looked a bit scary in his black robe, and even his pretty face didn’t fail to give off a threatening aura.

.....

Therefore, Fan Zedong looked nervous when he saw the black-robed man. “I... I understand, Master Yu,” he replied without apology this time. “Then, how can I help you this time? I’m pretty sure there’s a reason behind your sudden appearance at my humble residence tonight.”

Fan Zedong might have heard from his guards that Crown Prince Wu Jingguo visited him tonight because he was sick, but perhaps the old man wasn’t very naive, and he knew there must be a reason behind the young man’s sudden appearance. It was surely not just to visit the sick.

Therefore, the old man looked nervous as he waited for Yu Ming’s answer, and Yu Ming’s cold expression did not make him feel better.

“I came here to ask about Tang Yanmei. You must still remember her, right, Master Fan?” Yu Ming once again didn’t want to beat around the bush as he immediately voiced his intention.

Now, Fan Zedong looked even paler than before. Even when Bai Chen had just said Tang Yanmei’s name, he had already looked shocked and worried, and now when Yu Ming mentioned the same name, his expression looked even worse.

“W-what do you want to know about her, Master Yu? I do know her, but I’ve only met her once, and that’s why I probably won’t be able to answer your question,” Fan Zedong nervously replied to Yu Ming.

The uneasy expression on Fan Zedong’s face was evident, and just by looking at his expression, Yu Ming knew that the man knew more than enough about Tang Yanmei.

“You said you’ve only met Tang Yanmei once, right, Master Fan? In that case, I’d like to hear the story of your meeting with her,” Yu Ming once again answered Fan Zedong calmly.

“...” At this time, Fan Zedong could not immediately give an answer to Yu Ming.

It looked like he was hesitating, but Yu Ming was also unwilling to back down even though the old man looked reluctant. Instead, his pair of dark eyes continued to stare firmly at Fan Zedong while waiting for the man’s reply.

Bai Chen and Wu Jingguo quietly listened to the conversation between the two men. It seemed that Wu Jingguo was still trying to understand the direction of their conversation, but he was different from Bai Chen who was so greedy to hear Fan Zedong’s explanation about his mother.

At this moment, not only did Fan Zedong receive a glare from Yu Ming, but he also received the same gaze from Bai Chen. Thus, he felt even more pressure from the two sharp eyes directed at him.

“I...I still remember Lady Tang because she attended my birthday party twenty-three years ago. It was the best birthday party I’ve ever had, and that’s why I still remember most of the guests who attended,” hesitating, Fan Zedong finally opened his mouth as he started explaining his relationship with Tang Yanmei.

He even politely called her “Lady Tang” because the young man sitting in front of him was none other than her son, and that young man was also the Prince of Dong Lang. Thus, he couldn’t help showing his courtesy in this situation.

“Are you sure Tang Yanmei was one of your guests back then, Master Fan?” Yu Ming once again asked the older man, and the older man started to have cold sweat on his forehead.

He once again looked hesitant, and he even glanced at Bai Chen. This time, he looked not only nervous but terrified, and he probably wanted to pee his pants from the pressure he was feeling.

But Fan Zedong simply couldn’t escape even if he wanted to, and that’s why he hesitantly replied, “Lady Tang… was one of the prostitutes who worked for me during the banquet, Master Yu. She didn’t come as one of my guests at that time, but her job was to serve my guests.”
