223 FAMILIAR MAN WITH GOLDEN MASK
Zhu Ge took a rather long pause after he received the question from the Werewolf Prince, and the Prince even wondered if his question offended the black-haired man. However, Bai Chen said that he did not mean to be rude to Zhu Ge, and that was why he thought that he was quite polite toward the man.
It was Zhu Ge who said that the two of them were getting married, so it was normal for Bai Chen to want to know more about the other man, right?
Even if the idea of ??marrying another man still sounded strange to Bai Chen’s ears, he didn’t think that the idea was too bad, and that was why he secretly accepted it when Zhu Ge kept saying that the two of them were getting married.
Nonetheless, Bai Chen still felt uneasy as Zhu Ge continued to lock his lips instead of answering his question, and he thought that what he said might offend the taller man.
But, before he could say anything to the man so that the tension between them could subside, he could see how the man in red suddenly sighed heavily before saying, “I will tell you more about my parents, but maybe you should meet Wu Jinhai first. You still want to meet him, right?”
Zhu Ge once again used Wu Jinhai as an excuse so he didn’t have to give Bai Chen any further explanation, and the Werewolf Prince was not surprised by it.
“Is Wu Jinhai waiting inside the house?” In the end, Bai Chen decided to cooperate instead of forcing the raven-haired man to answer his curiosity earlier.
Although it was natural for Bai Chen to ask stubbornly, he somehow thought that Zhu Ge was right that he should meet Wu Jinhai first, and that was why he chose to put his curiosity aside.
“Yes. Wu Jinhai is waiting for you inside the house,” Zhu Ge replied calmly, and he still looked as relaxed as ever as he continued to stare at the shorter man. “Now you better wait for him here, and I’ll call him to see you so you can have a chat with him.”
.....
The man in red had just confirmed that the eldest Prince of Wu Li was waiting inside the house, and Bai Chen thought that Zhu Ge would invite him to come inside the house so that they could chat comfortably inside the house. Therefore, the brown-haired Prince looked confused when Zhu Ge said that he would ask Wu Jinhai to come out of the hut instead.
“You don’t want to invite me to your house?” Curious, Bai Chen directly questioned the taller man.
“Do you want me to invite you to my house?” Instead of answering, Zhu Ge asked back, and Bai Chen almost regretted how he wasted time asking the man such a question.
“Forget it. I’ll just wait for Wu Jinhai to come out. No one wants to enter your house,” annoyed, Bai Chen replied to Zhu Ge, and he even angrily looked away from the man still standing next to him.
The Werewolf Prince was angry, but instead of looking scary, he looked even more adorable in Zhu Ge’s eyes, and that was why the man in red couldn’t even hold himself back when he finally stretched out his hands and pinched the Prince’s cheeks while smiling handsomely. It looked like he was amused by the Prince’s cute attitude.
Bai Chen winced in pain as he felt the pinch, but before he could scold the taller man, the man immediately withdrew his hands. Now Zhu Ge’s hands were no longer on Bai Chen’s cheeks, but his previously bright cheeks were now red from the man’s hard pinch.
“You’re lucky that I chose to punish you with my hands instead of using my lips, Bai Chen,” Zhu Ge said, and Bai Chen wanted to slap the man’s nasty mouth.
Of course, Bai Chen could understand the hidden meaning behind Zhu Ge’s words. If Zhu Ge used his lips earlier, then that would mean the man would kiss his cheek, right?
Bai Chen wasn’t that dense, and that was why he told himself that he was indeed lucky that Zhu Ge wasn’t so shameless just now.
Smiling one last time at the white-clothed Prince, Zhu Ge then said, “I’ll go find Wu Jinhai for you. Be a good boy and wait for me here, okay? I promise it won’t be long.”
Bai Chen snorted when he heard Zhu Ge’s words. Did the shameless man see him as a naughty kid?
Bai Chen wasn’t even a child, and that was why he immediately glared at the taller man. Unfortunately, the man was too shameless, and that was why he only chuckled before bringing his feet to open the door of the house and enter the small house.
In the end, Bai Chen could only sigh heavily after he was left alone in front of the house, and he tried to distract himself from the annoying man by directing his gaze to survey his surroundings.
The small house was indeed in the middle of the forest, and Bai Chen did not see any other houses in the area. As far as he brought his blue eyes to scan his surroundings, he could only see large trees, and that was why he still couldn’t believe that Zhu Ge actually lived in that house.
It was even quite far from the river when people in this era usually chose to build houses near the river, and that was why Bai Chen couldn’t understand the reason why Zhu Ge had chosen to live in that house.
The Werewolf Prince was still bothered by matters related to Zhu Ge’s house, but then his ears could hear how the door of the house was opened from the inside, and his gaze immediately turned to the small house again.
Just then, he could see a familiar man wearing a golden mask, and Bai Chen was certain that the man was Wu Jinhai.
