224 ZHU GE’S CLOTHES
It hadn’t even been a week since Bai Chen had last seen Wu Jinhai, and that was why he still remembered the golden mask with a simple pattern that covered the man’s face most of the time.
Indeed, Wu Jinhai had almost covered his face with a mask most of the time, and Bai Chen certainly still remembered when the man finally took off his mask when they were in the Forbidden Forest. At that time, the two of them were in hot activity, and Wu Jinhai even needed to take off his mask, knowing that it would only hinder their activities.
The memory of that night flashed across Bai Chen’s mind, and that was why the Werewolf Prince blushed slightly after remembering it. However, he continued to chant in his head as the embarrassing memory flashed through his head:
‘I am loyal to Zhu Ge even if he is shameless.’

‘I am loyal to Zhu Ge even if he is shameless.’
Yes, that was the mantra that Bai Chen kept chanting in his head, considering that he had agreed with Zhu Ge that the two of them would get married. True, Zhu Ge was shameless and annoying most of the time, but Bai Chen had to admit that the man had managed to shake his heart ever since he had transmigrated into this world, and that was why he wanted to be loyal to that man alone.
And now that Wu Jinhai started walking towards him after closing the door of the house, Bai Chen could only tighten his grip around Wu Jiang as he tried not to be shaken by the man’s appearance.
Wu Jinhai was still the same. He was still a tall man with an overbearing aura, and that was why Bai Chen felt that he was so small when the man finally stood before him. Just like when he was still in the Forbidden Forest with that man, Bai Chen felt overwhelmed by the man’s aura, and that was why he tried to focus his attention on the golden mask instead.
.....
Yes, he didn’t even dare to look into the pair of eyes that peeked through the mask’s two holes, and that was why he only stared at the mask even though the golden thing was no more attractive than the man who kept his face hidden.
“It’s been a long time, Bai Chen.”
Even Wu Jinhai’s voice still sounded the same. It was still deep from being muffled by the golden mask, and it still caused Bai Chen’s body to shiver slightly just from his sexy voice.
The two of them had only been apart for less than a week, and that was why Bai Chen thought that there was no need to greet each other formally after being away for such a short time.
“You left me in a hurry when I still had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, and that’s why I tried to find you one more time,” Bai Chen got to the point instead of using small talk to answer Wu Jinhai’s words.
He only said that the masked man left him in a hurry without mentioning how the man even dared to kiss his lips back then. True, Wu Jinhai had only kissed him when the man was still wearing the golden mask, but Bai Chen was quite shaken by it, and that was why he purposely didn’t mention that moment in front of the taller man.

Bai Chen also remembered when Wu Jinhai said that they would meet again soon. Back then, Bai Chen was reluctant to let the man leave him alone when he still had so many unanswered questions in his head, but the man said that they would meet again soon. Today, it was evident that the two of them met again in less than a week, and Bai Chen had to admit that Wu Jinhai’s prediction was accurate.
Bai Chen had indeed wanted to ambush Wu Jinhai with so many questions that had been bothering him since they were still in the Forbidden Forest, but then he suddenly realized something as his blue eyes glanced at the closed door behind Wu Jinhai’s figure. Wu Jinhai was the one who had closed the door, but only now did Bai Chen notice something strange here.
“Where’s Zhu Ge? Why doesn’t he come out with you?” That was something that Bai Chen had just realized, and he immediately questioned the masked man while frowning at him.
It was indeed strange because Zhu Ge only said that he would get Wu Jinhai for him, and Bai Chen expected that the shameless man would come out of the house with the eldest Prince of Wu Li.
“I thought you wanted to have a private chat with me? Is there a need for Zhu Ge to be there when you want to talk to me privately?” Instead of answering, Wu Jinhai asked back, and Bai Chen didn’t look satisfied after hearing his question.
Even if Wu Jinhai’s way of responding to his question was somewhat reasonable, Bai Chen somehow thought that there was something fishy here, but he didn’t know what it was.
Finally, the Werewolf Prince took his eyes off the golden mask, and he brought his blue eyes to observe Wu Jinhai’s appearance more carefully because he felt that he had missed something from the man ever since the man came out of the small house.
Just like when they were still in the Forbidden Forest, Wu Jinhai was wearing a red robe, but Bai Chen’s breath suddenly caught when he saw that something was wrong with the clothes the masked man was wearing.
“Why are you wearing Zhu Ge’s clothes, Wu Jinhai?”
