Chapter 344 - 344 MY BROTHER IS NOT GAY
344 MY BROTHER IS NOT GAY
“Why don’t you go to your room, Your Highness? Prince Bai Chen has agreed to continue talking about this matter tomorrow, and he obediently went to his room when I asked him to. Why don’t you go to your room too?” Yu Ming, who was sitting at the table drinking his hot tea, asked Wu Jingguo who was still sitting on the window sill.
The night was getting older, and the wind was getting stronger, but they weren’t enough to drive the Crown Prince away from the window.
As Yu Ming had just said, Bai Chen had left the room, and that was why only two people were staying in the room now. Yu Ming could see that Bai Chen was mentally exhausted, and he asked the Werewolf Prince to rest now. Surprisingly, Bai Chen listened to her advice very well, unlike the Crown Prince who, unexpectedly, chose to stay in his room.
“I’m still here because I’m not Prince Bai Chen,” replied the Crown Prince, and finally, he brought his feet towards where Yu Ming was sitting and only stopped when he was beside the table. “I want to know why you and my brother care so much for Prince Bai Chen that you even helped him to investigate what happened before his mother finally became a concubine in Dong Lang.”
It seemed that Yu Ming didn’t expect such a question from Wu Jingguo, and that was why he raised his eyebrows in amusement before saying, “I don’t care about Prince Bai Chen. It’s your brother who cares about him the most, and what I’m doing now is helping your brother.”
Even if the two of them didn’t have a good relationship, they had known each other for many years, and Wu Jingguo knew how close his brother was to Yu Ming.
Sometimes he even felt suspicious of their relationship, but later he changed his mind every time he saw the disgusted look on his brother’s face whenever Yu Ming teased him. Sure enough, Yu Ming and Wu Jinhai didn’t have such a relationship, and Wu Jingguo knew that very well.
“Then, why does my brother care so much about Prince Bai Chen?” Wu Jingguo slightly changed his question when he was still not satisfied with Yu Ming’s answer.
“You asked me that question?” Instead of answering, Yu Ming asked back. “The reason behind that, of course, is because your brother is so infatuated with Prince Bai Chen. Your brother loves Prince Bai Chen so much that he could do anything for him. Don’t you know about that?”
.....
“...” This time, Wu Jingguo did not immediately respond. Instead, he stared blankly at Yu Ming after hearing his reply.
Perhaps Wu Jingguo was deep in thought about something, and that was why he was silent for a moment before finally opening his mouth to say, “My brother isn’t gay.”
Once again, Yu Ming raised an eyebrow in amusement after hearing the Crown Prince’s words. “Your brother is not gay, but he is in love with Prince Bai Chen. What’s wrong with that?”
“Of course, that’s so wrong!” Suddenly, Wu Jingguo raised his tone, and his brown eyes even glared at Yu Ming. “Maybe you don’t know about it, but I’ve admired my brother since I was little. Maybe many people say that my brother was cursed and became imperfect, but he’s perfect in my eyes, and that’s why I don’t want him to fall in love with a man! I want my brother to continue to be a perfect figure in my eyes!”
Suddenly, Yu Ming didn’t look amused anymore after hearing Wu Jingguo’s statement. Instead, he looked surprised. “What did you just say, Your Highness?” Confused, he asked a question. “You say that you have been admiring your brother? Do you know what you’re saying? If you truly admire your brother, then you wouldn’t be stealing his status as the Crown Prince of this empire. You’d better not try to fool me, Your Highness.”
There was suddenly tension in the room after the two men started to get serious with their words. At first, it was Wu Jingguo who raised his tone, and it was enough to light a fire in Yu Ming’s heart. Perhaps Yu Ming did not increase his tone, but it was clear that he was irritated when he heard Wu Jingguo’s statement.
This time, Wu Jingguo once again did not answer immediately. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly. “I didn’t mean to steal my brother’s position as Crown Prince in this empire! I did that because my mother asked me to, and I also did it because my mother’s faction kept pushing me! Unfortunately, neither you nor my brother understands my plight, and not even my father can understand me!”
“…” By now, it was Yu Ming who was speechless. He was still sitting on the chair while Wu Jingguo was standing by the table, but now he finally got up from the chair and looked at the younger man intently.
His eyes kept looking at Wu Jingguo’s, and he could see how the pair of eyes were trembling slightly, and there was even a clear liquid coating the pair of brown eyes. Suddenly, Yu Ming could see something he had never seen from the younger man, and without thinking, he brought his feet closer to the man before carrying the man’s body into his arms.
At this time, Wu Jingguo’s mind was preoccupied with many things, and that was why he couldn’t even move quickly to avoid the embrace. In the end, he was in Yu Ming’s embrace. His body was bigger than Yu Ming’s, but somehow he felt comfortable in the man’s embrace. That was why he didn’t try to break away from the warm embrace.
“After your brother returns to Wu Li, you better explain everything to him, Wu Jingguo,” Yu Ming whispered, and he even dropped the formalities as he hugged the younger man. “And you also need to remember that there are no perfect people in this world. The perfect figure you’ve seen in Wu Jinhai all along is just a facade. If you truly care about your brother, then you will definitely be able to accept him for who he is.”
