Chapter 305 - 305 I’M DISAPPOINTED

305 I’M DISAPPOINTED

It was like Bai Chen was in a classroom with a grumpy teacher and the teacher asked him: “Why do you always put your palm in front of your nose every time I talk to you?”

The honest answer to that question was because the teacher had bad breath, but could Bai Chen give an honest answer when his teacher was so scary and even be able to use his hands to punish his students when he was displeased with them?

This time, Bai Chen felt that he was in such a situation when he knew the answer to Wu Jinhai’s question but couldn’t bring himself to answer the question honestly. It wasn’t that Wu Jinhai was scary and would use his hand to slap him after hearing his answer, but Bai Chen just knew that an honest answer wasn’t something he should say, just like how he also couldn’t tell his teacher honestly that the man had bad breath.

At this time, Wu Jinhai kept looking at him intently waiting for his response, and Bai Chen even tried to avert his gaze from the glares. Of course, the man in red knew that he was trying to escape even though he still didn’t say anything to the man.

In the morning, their relationship was still good, but then Bai Chen suddenly left the Xinyang Imperial Palace without saying anything. Of course, Wu Jinhai would know that the man in white was trying to escape.

But, why was Bai Chen trying to escape? For that one thing, Wu Jinhai might not know the reason.

“I... I wasn’t trying to run away,” Bai Chen finally answered, but that was an obvious lie.

He couldn’t even keep his eyes fixed on the taller man, and the man would have known for sure that he had just lied.

“Wu Jingguo witnessed how you tried to escape from my palace,” Wu Jinhai replied firmly, and he even emphasized the word ‘tried’ because Bai Chen had just rebutted his accusation by saying that ‘he didn’t try.’

.....

Now, Bai Chen finally looked at Wu Jinhai doubtfully after hearing what the man had just said. When he left Wu Jinhai’s palace in a hurry, he didn’t see anyone there, and that was why he didn’t expect Wu Jingguo to be there and witness how he tried to escape from the palace.

“And Wu Jingguo also said that you want to kill me.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“…” Bai Chen’s breath caught when he heard Wu Jinhai continue to tell stories related to Wu Jingguo.

He didn’t sense Wu Jingguo’s presence in Jing Jing Liutang at all, but the Crown Prince managed to hear his monologue while he was inside the pavilion?

Now, Bai Chen was pushed into a corner, and he didn’t know how to reply to the masked man. After all, he was truly angry at Wu Jinhai today, and he did want to kill the man, fearing that the man would betray him one more time and would eventually cause him to commit suicide just like what he did in his past life.

Bai Chen was just trying to protect himself before he died for the... third time? He couldn’t even remember how many times he had died, and now his mind was tangled because everything had happened to him too suddenly.

“Are you really going to kill me, Bai Chen? What did I do wrong?” Wu Jinhai spoke again when the shorter man didn’t reply immediately. “I’ve told you everything, and I no longer have anything that I hid from you. Why did you suddenly leave my side and even want to kill me?”

When Bai Chen was still troubled inside, he faced even more difficulties now when he noticed how Wu Jinhai sounded desperate while questioning him. The man showed his dominance earlier when he scolded him about how stupid he was for mistaking a demon for him, but the man in red now looked desperate as he waited for his answer.

Currently, Bai Chen could only tightly clench his fists. He did doubt Wu Jinhai after he regained his memories from his past life, but he wouldn’t lie that he also wanted to give the man a chance to prove that this life would be different from his past life.

Maybe the opportunity wasn’t just for Wu Jinhai, but it was also for himself. After all, he had to admit that he was so weak in his previous life that he even killed himself just because of Wu Jinhai’s betrayal, and he didn’t want to act weak anymore.

So, Bai Chen truly wanted to give them a chance, but he was still unsure about some things, and that was why he asked the man in red, “Will you betray me, Wu Jinhai?”

It was indeed the man’s betrayal that caused him to end his life in his previous life, and that was why Bai Chen felt the need to hear from Wu Jinhai that this life would be different.

“Why are you suddenly asking me that question? Is it because Shao Yaoting has betrayed everyone that you can’t trust me in the end, Bai Chen?” Wu Jinhai asked back instead of answering.

Bai Chen wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with Shao Yaoting. He knew about that, but he also knew that he couldn’t reveal the truth in front of Wu Jinhai because things were too complicated, and the masked man probably wouldn’t believe his explanation.

Therefore, Bai Chen did not answer Wu Jinhai’s question, and he only continued to stare at the pair of golden eyes shining brightly through the two holes of the mask. He wanted to tell Wu Jinhai that he only wanted to hear answers and not questions, and that was why he didn’t answer the man’s question.

And suddenly, Wu Jinhai let out a tired sigh as he could understand the meaning behind Bai Chen’s gaze. “Before I leave you to inspect the border between Wu Li and Dong Lang, I asked you to always trust me, right?” He asked while focusing his golden eyes on the pair of blue eyes. “I asked you to trust me because somehow I felt that you would once again doubt me today, Bai Chen. And I was disappointed in you because, in the end, you couldn’t trust me.”
