Chapter 284

284 YOU HAVE A BIG HEART

In the end, they did it in the hot spring for real. Bai Chen couldn’t stop cursing Wu Jinhai, but he had to admit that the pleasure was even greater than what he felt when they were doing it in bed. However, he pretended as if he didn’t feel any pleasure at all because Wu Jinhai was very bothersome when the man insisted on doing that again even though they only did it last night, and that was why he kept his face straight as if he was in a bad mood instead of feeling pleased.

Even when they finally arrived at the Emperor’s quarter, Bai Chen still refused to speak to the man dressed in red. His legs were fine because Wu Jinhai was supporting his body when they did that in the hot spring, but his butt was far from okay. Maybe the inside was swollen now? He didn’t even know how to take care of his swollen hole when he was in this world. This world didn’t have any pharmacy, and something like an ointment to treat his hole probably couldn’t be found easily, right?

If he was in his palace, then he would have asked Ma Qiao to find some medicine for his hole, but since he was in another empire now, he couldn’t just order Wu Jinhai to do that to him. In the end, he decided to test Wu Jinhai’s sensitivity. If he didn’t ask for the medicine, would the man take the initiative to find medicine for him?

Bai Chen did want to test the man in red, but unfortunately, Wu Jinhai’s level of sensitivity was extremely low, and that was why the man didn’t even ask about the condition of his buttocks.

Suddenly, Bai Chen felt regret for giving up on the masked man when they were still in the hot spring, but he couldn’t do anything about it as they were now sitting in front of the Emperor of Wu Li.

Wu Jinhai briefly mentioned to him that the palace meeting would be held in an hour, and before Emperor Wu Shun attended the meeting, he first welcomed the two young men into his quarter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was a square table, and the three people sat at it. Wu Jinhai and Bai Chen were sitting facing each other, and Emperor Wu Shun was sitting on the other side of the table.

“Welcome to Wu Li, Prince Bai Chen. I heard that you arrived at Wu Li at dawn, and that’s why I only found out this morning. I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly,” the brown-haired Emperor was friendly toward Bai Chen, and the Werewolf Prince smiled at the man faintly.

After bathing in the hot spring, Bai Chen changed into a new set of clothes prepared by the palace maids. It was still white, but there were gold accents on the clothes, and Bai Chen somehow thought that the set of clothes might be more expensive than what he usually wore back in his palace.

.....

“You need not apologize, Your Majesty,” replied the Werewolf Prince. “I didn’t plan to visit Wu Li either, but Prince Wu Jinhai invited me to come, and that’s why I ended up bothering you here, Your Majesty.”

Bai Chen acted exceptionally humble in front of Emperor Wu Shun, and even Wu Jinhai almost snorted when he saw the difference between Bai Chen’s attitude toward him and Emperor Wu Shun. Why didn’t Bai Chen act like that toward him when he was also part of the Wu Li royal family?

“Actually, I also want to apologize to you for another matter, Prince Bai Chen,” suddenly, Emperor Wu Shun looked awkward, and he even glanced at his son for a moment before returning his gaze to Bai Chen. “I have heard from my son that he has revealed everything to you. I have to admit that I was aware of my son’s plans, and I knew that I shouldn’t have let him lie to you all the time. I was even acting in front of you when we met in the Forbidden Forest, and I’m ashamed of my attitude at that time.”

Bai Chen knew that, before the three of them gathered in the room, Wu Jinhai first met his father to talk about something, and it seemed the masked man had told his father that he had revealed the truth about himself and wouldn’t be pretending to be Zhu Ge anymore.

Before hearing Wu Shun’s apology, Bai Chen wasn’t sure if the Emperor also knew the details, but now it was confirmed that Wu Shun was also behind Wu Jinhai the whole time.

He still remembered how Wu Shun had acted in front of him when they were in the Forbidden Forest, and he couldn’t help but think that like father like son, they were both great actors who deserved awards.

Bai Chen wasn’t going to lie by saying that he wasn’t annoyed when he once again recalled the time Wu Jinhai had lied to him, but he also didn’t want to hold a grudge forever, especially if the person who had just apologized to him was the Emperor of Wu Li.

“Prince Wu Jinhai has indeed told me everything, Your Majesty,” replied the Werewolf Prince. “He has told me about his mother and the poison in his body, and that’s the reason why he lied to me, right? I did get annoyed that he didn’t tell me the truth from the start, but now I’m okay, and that’s why we can get over the feeling of unhappy past.”

It was indeed his decision as he had no choice, and when he took a quick glance at Wu Jinhai, he could somehow see how the man was smiling even if the man put on a golden mask to cover his face once again.

Sure enough, Wu Jinhai was happy that he decided to forget his sins, right? Bai Chen almost rolled his eyes, but he stopped when he heard the Emperor’s voice once again.

“You do have a big heart, Prince Bai Chen,” said the Emperor. “And it is indeed a wise choice if you decide to put the matter aside since you are facing an even bigger problem now. I heard someone deliberately set up a barrier around Dong Lang, and no one can enter the empire now. That’s why we can’t immediately go to Dong Lang to help your father.”
