167 FALLING IN LOVE IS NOT HIS PLAN

Leaning his back against the side of the gate in front of Prince Bai Chen’s palace, no one noticed that he had been in that position for quite a while, but he could see how the brown-haired Prince was walking away from the palace with the old servant.

Not only did he see how the young Prince was leaving, but he could also hear the conversation between the Prince and the old servant. Even if Ma Qiao’s last words came out in a whisper, his sharp ears managed to catch every word the old man said, and he couldn’t help but smirk as he continued to stare at the two figures moving away from the Prince’s palace.

“That old servant doesn’t like Wu Jinhai, huh?” He whispered to himself as the two backs belonging to the Prince and the old servant were out of sight.

He folded his arms in front of his chest, and his brown eyes looked in one direction with an unreadable gaze.

He was Zhu Ge, and he had just returned to Prince Bai Chen’s palace when he suddenly saw how the Prince was walking with his old servant. The two people continued to chat with each other as they gradually left the palace, and Zhu Ge could only observe the two of them from a distance.

He had indeed left Bai Chen since their conversation in the Jing Pavilion yesterday, and he had not even accompanied the Prince at last night’s dinner and breakfast this morning.

And the reason behind it was that he had just returned from the Wu Li Empire this morning. Without notifying the young Prince, he quietly left the Prince’s palace and headed to the Red Pavilion last night and only returned to the palace this morning.

[The Red Pavilion was busy as usual. When he arrived at the red-dominated building, Zhu Ge could see how some male prostitutes from the Red Pavilion were trying to catch some prey so that they could get some coins in their pockets later.

The hares boldly tried to seduce the guests who had come to the pavilion to get some entertainment, but Zhu Ge paid them no mind as he immediately headed to the second floor of the building.

.....

It was as if his feet had eyes of their own, and Zhu Ge didn’t even try to find his way to his destination because his feet automatically carried him into a room.

Arriving at the room, the man in the red robe immediately opened the door without bothering to knock on the wooden surface, and the person in the room immediately screamed in surprise after seeing how the door was opened from the outside.

There were two people in the room, but only one of them immediately let out a scream, while one of them only quietly left the room after hastily putting on his clothes.

Zhu Ge also paid no heed to the man who had just left the room, and he calmly positioned himself on the empty chair as his brown eyes lazily stared at the naked figure on the bed.

“Can’t you knock before entering?” The naked figure immediately snapped as he tried to put on some pink clothes. “Or is it your purpose to see me naked like this, Xiao Zhu?”

The person on the bed was a man, and he was so familiar in Zhu Ge’s eyes because that man was none other than Yu Ming.

“I’ve seen your body since we were little, and there’s nothing attractive about your bone-only body,” Zhu Ge replied lazily as he lifted his chin toward the closed door once more. “Is he your new toy? Did you tell him about me that he ran away as soon as he saw me here?”

Yu Ming was offended by how Zhu Ge said that his body was only made up of bones. He was indeed thin, but many men say that he was sexy, but Zhu Ge always had a different opinion.

“Mhm, I did tell him about you,” Yu Ming replied after he was fully clothed once again. Sitting on the edge of the bed before reaching out his hand to fetch a cup of water from the bedside table, he spoke again before drinking his water, “I remember when one of my toys ended up trying to seduce you and you rewarded him with a punch right in front of my eyes.”

Elegantly, Yu Ming took a sip of the water before placing the empty cup on the table again.

Hearing the words that came from Yu Ming, Zhu Ge could only snort. Many people had mistaken him for one of the prostitutes in the Red Pavilion, and he knew that he couldn’t blame them for it because that was his intention.

He did want to appear as if he worked for Yu Ming in the Red Pavilion, and many people ended up believing in his actions, including the innocent Dong Lang Imperial Prince, Bai Chen.

Suddenly, his expression changed as he recalled Bai Chen once more. He previously looked relaxed, and he could even tease Yu Ming with his sarcasm. However, just one thought of the brunette Prince was enough to change his mood, and he finally fell silent as he stared blankly at the wooden floor.

The man wearing a pink robe noticed how the younger man had suddenly become quiet, and he frowned before asking, “What happened? Everything ended as you planned, but you don’t seem happy about it?”

There were only a few people who knew Zhu Ge’s secret, and one of them was Yu Ming. That was the reason why Zhu Ge had left Prince Bai Chen’s palace and immediately headed to the Red Pavilion, and it was also the reason why he dared to disturb Yu Ming when the man was about to have fun with one of his toys.

“Things didn’t go as I planned,” Zhu Ge replied without looking at the older man sitting on the bed.

The two of them had known each other for many years, and it could be said that they had relied on each other since many years ago. Zhu Ge often helped Yu Ming, and Yu Ming would immediately help if Zhu Ge needed his help.

The two also had a tacit understanding of each other, and Yu Ming could easily guess what was bothering the red-robed man. “It’s related to Prince Bai Chen again, isn’t it? What happened to him?” Without hesitation, he asked the younger man the question, and the younger man was finally willing to look up again.

Zhu Ge looked a little hesitant, but then he opened his mouth to speak, “I think Bai Chen is interested in Wu Jinhai. He asked me to arrange a meeting with Wu Jinhai right after he agreed to marry me.”

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

Yu Ming did know a lot about Zhu Ge, but he was surprised when he heard the younger man’s answer. “What did you just say, Xiao Zhu? You said that Prince Bai Chen had agreed to marry you? But why would you want to marry him? That wasn’t part of your plan, right?”

Zhu Ge once again set his sights on the floor as he replied, “Marrying him wasn’t part of my plan, and falling in love wasn’t my plan either. Now I don’t know what else to do.”]
