Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

323 YU MING IS...

Even if Wu Shun sounded completely random with his theory of how Wu Jinhai could give him an heir when the masked man was dating a man now, Bai Chen took what the old man said as acceptance.

Wu Shun even told Wu Jinhai not to cheat on him, and that must be a sign that the old man could finally accept his son’s relationship with another man, right? Wu Jinhai might have been right that his father just needed time to finally accept their relationship, and Bai Chen was secretly relieved by that acceptance.

Currently, five people were inside Jing Jing Liutang, sitting around a rectangular table inside the pavilion that belonged to the eldest Prince of Wu Li.

It seemed that the five people were ready to start a discussion, but no one started a conversation, and everyone could see how Wu Shun kept looking at his two sons.

Wu Shun acted as the leader of their discussion, and that was why he sat alone at one side of the table. Meanwhile, Wu Jinhai was sitting side by side with Bai Chen, while Wu Jingguo was sitting together with Yu Ming even though the two of them didn’t look friendly to each other.

Perhaps it was nothing new in the Emperor’s eyes that Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming acted like that with each other, and that was why his focus this time was on Wu Jingguo and Wu Jinhai.

After continuously looking at the two young men in turn, Wu Shun finally fixed his gaze on his eldest son as he asked, “Are you sure we will discuss everything related to Dong Lang Empire with your younger brother sitting here with us, Xiao Hai?”

Wu Shun was the Emperor of Wu Li, but for some reason, he looked doubtful when he asked his eldest son. Bai Chen could guess that this wasn’t the first time Wu Shun had been between the two young men, and sure enough, the two young men were usually full of tension that even the Emperor couldn’t bear to see them together.

“The matters related to Dong Lang are nothing personal. My younger brother is the Crown Prince of this empire, the next ruler of this empire just in case something happens to you, Your Majesty. It is only natural that we invite him to discuss this matter related to the neighboring empire, right?” Wu Jinhai answered his father’s question, but his sharp eyes were directed at Wu Jingguo who was sitting opposite him.

.....

At this time, Bai Chen really wanted to slap his forehead. How could Wu Jinhai say that his younger brother would become the next ruler of the empire if anything happened to his father? That was not something a son would say about his father, was it?

Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that Wu Jinhai was a disrespectful child. Sure enough, that was Wu Jinhai’s true personality, and he had also seen the man acting so carefree like that when he was pretending to be Zhu Ge.

Bai Chen was worried that Wu Shun would feel offended by what Wu Jinhai had just said to him, but when he turned his gaze to the Emperor, he could see how the old man kept his calm expression. The old man didn’t look bothered by what his eldest son had just said, and Bai Chen assumed it wasn’t the first time Wu Jinhai had said something like that in front of his father.

“I don’t think you were wrong in your judgment, Xiao Hai. Your brother has the right to know the current situation in the neighboring empire,” Wu Shun finally replied to Wu Jinhai.

When they talked about Wu Jingguo automatically bringing them into the talk of the person who would become the next Wu Li Emperor, both Wu Jinhai and Wu Shun looked relaxed, but Bai Chen was somehow certain that the topic was extremely sensitive for the two men. He remembered when Wu Jinhai had told him that he wanted to take back the position of Crown Prince from his half-brother, and Wu Shun must have known about it.

Thus, Bai Chen was certain that Wu Jinhai and Wu Shun were only pretending to be calm when they talked about Wu Jingguo and the Crown Prince status that the young man currently held.

“So, how was your observation at the border between Wu Li and Dong Lang yesterday, Xiao Hai?” Emperor Wu Shun finally started the discussion as he solemnly looked at his eldest son.

Of course, Wu Jinhai hadn’t reported to his father about his findings yesterday because he was busy looking for his unstable lover at the time. And the lover could only squirm in his position as he realized that how he had run away from Wu Li had only delayed their mission of quickly saving Dong Lang from those bad guys.

“That barrier was indeed set up by the demons, Your Majesty. Only me and Yu Ming will be able to destroy the barrier if we want to enter Dong Lang,” Wu Jinhai reported to his father, and Bai Chen immediately turned to the red-robed man who was sitting next to him when he found something strange in the man’s last sentence.

“How come only you and Yu laoban can break through the barrier, Wu Jinhai? I know your identity as a half-demon, and that’s why I can understand if you’ll be able to break through the barrier created by the demons. But, what about Yu laoban? I’ve asked you before, but you haven’t answered the question, have you?” Bai Chen was indeed curious, and even if he knew that Yu Ming was sitting with them at the table this time, he chose to ask Wu Jinhai.

Other people were there with the two of them, and that was why Bai Chen assumed that Wu Jinhai wouldn’t be able to dodge his questions or try to distract him by doing something else this time.

But perhaps Wu Jinhai had no intention of dodging his question this time, and that was why the masked man calmly replied, “Yu Ming will be able to break through the barrier set up by the demons because he is also a demon, Bai Chen. He is the son of the demon who poisoned me years ago.”
