Chapter 306 - 306 YOU DON’T KNOW?
Wu Jinhai was disappointed in him? Bai Chen thought that it was he who had the right to feel angry, but the man in red suddenly said that he was disappointed. Now, Bai Chen stared at the older man in disbelief.
“I have my reasons why I suddenly doubted you so I decided to leave your side, Wu Jinhai. You can’t just blame me for what I do!” Bai Chen was returning the cold treatment he previously received from the taller man, but who would have thought that the man would suddenly move his hand so fast that it landed on Bai Chen’s neck in a blink of an eye?
Yes, Wu Jinhai’s hand was gripping Bai Chen’s neck all of a sudden, and even if the man’s face was still covered by a mask, it was clear that he was furious at this moment.
“You said I couldn’t just blame you for what you did? And you also said that you have your reasons? Listen to me, Bai Chen! You also can’t just feel angry at me because I don’t even know the reason behind your anger at me! You didn’t say anything, but you just got mad at me for no reason! Do you think that kind of treatment is fair for me?”
Bai Chen had trouble breathing as Wu Jinhai continued to strangle his slender neck with his big hand. Even the man’s muscles bulged on the back of his hand, indicating that Wu Jinhai had indeed used all of his strength to punish the man in white.
Yes, it must be a punishment because Bai Chen was indeed in the wrong this time. He blindly retained his memories without caring about Wu Jinhai’s feelings in this life, and it was really his fault because the Wu Jinhai in this life knew nothing about what happened in the past.
Bai Chen was indeed too selfish and deserved to be punished, right?
He had to admit that he was the one in the wrong, and that was why he stopped struggling the moment he let Wu Jinhai punish him. He could see how Wu Jinhai was still holding Wu Jiang in his left hand, and if the man got too irritated with him, the sword might just swing at him, right?
.....
Bai Chen had expected that he would be truly punished, but then he suddenly felt how the grip on his neck gradually loosened, and the man in red placed his right hand beside his body without saying anything.
The Werewolf Prince was panting heavily after he was able to get a sufficient supply of oxygen in his lungs, but his blue eyes kept staring at the masked man who seemed to be trying to control his emotions at the moment.
“I won’t betray you,” Wu Jinhai suddenly whispered, and it was unmistakable that he had finally answered Bai Chen’s question before he finally lost his temper and nearly injured the man in white.
Bai Chen still felt a slight pain in his neck, but he was still stunned when he finally got a reply from Wu Jinhai. It was just a simple answer from Wu Jinhai, not even a promise, but Bai Chen somehow couldn’t let that answer slip by since it meant quite a bit to him.
It was indeed just one sentence, and even a promise could be broken, but Bai Chen was somehow willing to trust Wu Jinhai again after hearing the older man’s simple answer.
He felt as if the weight in his heart had finally been lifted, and when he felt that his body was light once again, he didn’t think he would be able to stand up without any support. That was why he dropped his forehead on Wu Jinhai’s broad shoulder, nonverbally letting the man know that he trusted him once again.
And perhaps Wu Jinhai could read his intentions when he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after receiving Bai Chen’s silent answer. Behind the golden mask, he smiled before raising his hands to take Bai Chen into his arms.
“Don’t do something like this again, Bai Chen. If you start doubting me, then all you have to do is talk it over with me. I will once again say that I will not betray you if you ever doubt me again, Bai Chen. It’s not a promise, but that’s what I will do for you,” Wu Jinhai said as he continued to hug Bai Chen.
Suddenly, Bai Chen regretted that he doubted Wu Jinhai because of the memories he had of his past life. It was true that he returned to this ancient world after being reincarnated in the modern world, and there must be a reason behind his return, right? Sure enough, there were things he needed to fix when he finally returned to this world, and perhaps one of the things he needed to fix was his relationship with Wu Jinhai.
‘In my past life, Wu Jinhai couldn’t fall in love with me, but after I came back, I managed to win his heart. That’s the difference between this life and that past life,’ Bai Chen thought to himself as he brought his arms to hug Wu Jinhai.
He was relieved, and he even smiled while closing his eyes. He just realized that he really missed Wu Jinhai’s scent, and perhaps he also missed his warm embrace. To put it simply, he really missed all things about Wu Jinhai very much.
As Bai Chen was enjoying the moment in Wu Jinhai’s embrace, the man in red suddenly said something that managed to startle him, “I know you were trying to run away from me, but what are you doing in this forest between Wu Li and the demon realm, Bai Chen? Humans and werewolves usually cannot return safely once they are in this forest. You don’t know about that, do you?”
