Chapter 160
{THE SYSTEM DID SAY THAT, BUT THE HOST SHOULDN’T FORGET THAT THERE’S STILL A POSSIBILITY OF 0.01% THAT THE HOST WOULD BE REJECTED. IT’S NOT THE SYSTEM’S FAULT}
“...” Bai Chen knew that he would not be able to win when he argued with the system, and he was forced to lock his lips after hearing the response from the system.
Bai Chen was shocked, and he could only blame the system immediately, but he knew that it was not the system’s fault. If he wanted to blame someone, then he had to blame Zhu Ge for rejecting him.
Glaring at the owner of the black hair, Bai Chen hastily barked at the man, “Why did you reject me? You said that you wanted to be by my side so you could witness how my hair turned white, but you suddenly changed your mind now?”
Bai Chen might not be the venerable Prince of Dong Lang, and many people even dared to look down on him. However, he didn’t want to let Zhu Ge hurt his pride either, and that was why he boldly challenged the man’s pair of brown eyes.
He even pulled Zhu Ge’s hand away from his cheek, and he would not let Zhu Ge touch him again.
Bai Chen looked very annoyed, but Zhu Ge could even giggle in front of the angry Prince.
“Why do you still want me to be your lover when I have been your lover all this time, ChenChen?”
.....
“...” Once again, Bai Chen fell silent, but the cause was Zhu Ge this time.
It seemed that his brain was working too slowly that he couldn’t immediately understand what Zhu Ge meant, but then his blue eyes widened when he was finally able to understand the meaning behind the man’s words.
“What? You’re saying that you’ve been my lover all along? Don’t you think you’re delusional? I never agreed to make you my lover before today!” Bai Chen was angry again, and there was even a hint of frustration when he replied to Zhu Ge’s statement.
Unfortunately, the scene displayed before his eyes did not anger him for long. Zhu Ge tilted his head while blinking his eyes innocently, and the sight was quite adorable in Bai Chen’s eyes.
Bai Chen was really having a hard time controlling himself right now.
“It may be true that you never agreed to make me your lover, but I have always dedicated myself as your lover, Bai Chen. That’s why I won’t accept it if you only want me to be your lover.”
Bai Chen felt that his head had turned into a volcano that was going to erupt. The shameless Zhu Ge would not be able to know the word shame even if the world was coming to an end, and the man could even confidently say such a thing to him.
Indeed, Zhu Ge had once told Bai Renshu that he and Bai Chen were lovers, but Bai Chen had never taken those words seriously. He thought Zhu Ge only wanted to offend the Crown Prince, but it seemed that the lie back then had affected Zhu Ge’s mind.
Bai Chen was exhausted when he tried to face Zhu Ge, but he realized that he had not received a notification from the system that he had completed his mission, so he assumed that he still needed to put in more effort when facing the shameless man.
“If you don’t want to be my lover, then what do you want?” Gritting his teeth to suppress his anger, the Werewolf Prince questioned the young servant.
He knew that he could not use curse words before he had completed the mission. Therefore, he was still trying to maintain his emotions while waiting for the other man to answer his question.
It seemed Zhu Ge had assumed that he had won, and that was why the man was able to grin at him before saying, “I want to be your husband! Let’s get married soon!”
Bai Chen’s jaw dropped to the floor when he heard Zhu Ge’s request. He only wanted to receive a “yes” from the man, but he didn’t expect the man to say such a thing to him.
“Are you kidding?” Bai Chen raised his tone as he questioned the taller man once more. “Even being gay is a sin in this world, but you want me to marry you? Do you think people will accept our marriage?”
When he was in his previous life, same-sex marriage was only legal in some countries and not even legal in his. Therefore, Bai Chen thought that Zhu Ge was just insane as usual, and there was no way he would accept the idea.
“Maybe you’re right that people here still don’t accept being gay, but that doesn’t mean we can’t change their opinion. Even if there aren’t any gay couples getting married in this world, we can always be the first gay couple to get married.”
“...” Once again, Bai Chen didn’t know how to respond when Zhu Ge once again voiced his crazy idea.
Being the first gay couple to marry in the world, would that make him an important figure to be remembered for generations?
It was ridiculous, and Bai Chen remained silent as he continued to stare at Zhu Ge hopelessly.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhu Ge’s voice broke the silence once again. “I don’t think it would be a bad idea for you to marry me. Moreover, your fiancée has died in the Forbidden Forest, so you don’t have to worry about wedding plans anymore.”
Zhu Ge’s statement was quite unexpected to Bai Chen, and he looked dumbfounded before asking the man, “How did you know about my wedding plans? And how did you know that my fiancée had died in the Forbidden Forest?”
Finally, Bai Chen managed to find an opening in Zhu Ge’s statement. Things related to his marriage to Shao Meihui were only known by a few people. Perhaps only the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Ma Qiao, as well as the people from the Black Werewolf Clan knew about it.
Bai Chen never told Zhu Ge about Shao Meihui, nor did he tell the man that the girl from the Black Werewolf Clan had died in the Forbidden Forest last night.
The brunette Prince this time was quite sharp, and he even narrowed his eyes while waiting for the man to answer his question. Once again, he carefully observed the man’s expression, and he finally saw that the man was a little nervous this time.
He could see how Zhu Ge’s pupils were shaking, and he could also see how the man’s jaw was hardening. Bai Chen knew that Zhu Ge didn’t expect him to make such a mistake either.
“I heard about it from someone,” the red-robed man finally replied, but the man took his eyes off Bai Chen as he spoke his answer.
His movements were not subtle, and Bai Chen didn’t want to miss the opportunity and immediately asked again, “Who told you about that?”
Again and again, Bai Chen was eager to hear Zhu Ge’s answer. He was even prepared to scold the man if he dared lie by saying that he heard about it from Ma Qiao.
However, Bai Chen was surprised to hear how Zhu Ge answered his question, “I heard about it from Wu Jinhai.”
