Chapter 232
232 A NANNY AND A BABY
“What do you mean he’s the most afraid if I get mad at him? You make it sound like he cares about me and my feelings, but if he truly cared about me, then he wouldn’t have lied to me in the first place,” coldly, Bai Chen replied to Yu Ming’s statement.
He wouldn’t lie that his heart trembled slightly when he heard what Yu Ming had just said about a certain man. Yu Ming said that the man was afraid that he got angry, and that sounded like the man was thinking about his feelings the most.
But, that was probably just another lie, right? Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming definitely cooperated, and that was why they would support each other’s lies.
Now, Bai Chen could see how Yu Ming suddenly frowned at him, and the man in black somehow looked a little frustrated after hearing his statement. The man didn’t even say anything in return, and instead of saying something, the man suddenly looked away from the Werewolf Prince before letting out a heavy sigh.
“It’s not that I have the right to tell you the truth about Wu Jinhai, but I have to tell you that Wu Jinhai really cares about you. If he didn’t care about you, then he would let you die alone when you were in the Forbidden Forest,” that was the answer that finally came from Yu Ming, and Bai Chen was dumbfounded when the man suddenly mentioned the events in the Forbidden Forest.
“He also told you about what happened in the forest?” Bai Chen asked again.
“Of course,” Yu Ming replied. “Back then, he was asked by his father to participate in the Beast Hunting Event to show his abilities, but instead, he became a nanny during the event. You can understand what I mean, can’t you?”
“...” Bai Chen couldn’t answer this time.
Yu Ming mentioned how Wu Jinhai ended up being a nanny when he was supposed to fight the beast to show his abilities, and Bai Chen knew that he was the baby who needed a nanny back then.
.....
Even when Bai Chen was just about to cross the bridge into the forest, he almost let himself fall into the abyss, but Wu Jinhai came just in time to save him just then. Not only that, but the man did not leave his side since that meeting either, and Bai Chen had to admit that he was indeed the baby that the nanny needed to take care of.
“He did help me back then, but I’m pretty sure he had ulterior motives behind what he had done for me. Am I right?” Bai Chen asked once more, and he even admitted that Wu Jinhai had indeed helped him back then.
He had just realized that he had not yet shown his gratitude to the masked man, and that was why he felt a little embarrassed when he realized that he might appear as an ungrateful brat in front of Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming.
“Ulterior motives?” Yu Ming asked back while raising an eyebrow. “You’re right that he does have ulterior motives, but if you want to know more about it, then you should directly ask him instead of asking me.”
Bai Chen did not respond. He had told Wu Jinhai that the two of them didn’t need to talk to each other anymore, and that was why he thought it would be ridiculous if he came to the man again and asked the man that question.
However, perhaps Yu Ming was extremely loyal to the Eldest Prince of Wu Li, and that was why Bai Chen knew that he would not be able to force the man.
Sighing heavily, Bai Chen asked again, “I’m curious about something else, and I don’t think it has much to do with Wu Jinhai’s ulterior motives. I just want to know whether Wu Jinhai is related to the incident that happened in the Forbidden Forest or not. Do you know about that?”
It was indeed another thing that had been bothering Bai Chen ever since the Beast Hunting Event ended in tragedy. Back then, Wu Jinhai acted mysteriously when he faced Emperor Bai Guowei as well as Shao Yaoting, and Bai Chen couldn’t help but be curious about the connection between that man and the accident.
“You are stupid if you think that Wu Jinhai was the one behind the incident,” Yu Ming replied firmly, and he sounded angry somehow when he voiced his answer. “Wu Jinhai knew nothing about the accident, and he even tried to help the people in the forest to get rid of the dangerous beasts back then. Don’t you know that he even used his telepathic ability to contact me back then? He asked me to infiltrate into the forest just to save the participants there, so you can’t say that Wu Jinhai was the one behind the incident.”
Bai Chen was once again dumbfounded after hearing Yu Ming’s long explanation. Indeed, Bai Chen had told himself not to trust anyone in this world so easily, but he could somehow sense Yu Ming’s sincerity when the man told him the story.
Yu Ming looked really annoyed when Bai Chen even assumed that Wu Jinhai was behind the incident in the forest, and even when the man told him about how Wu Jinhai asked for help so he could save the participants in the forest, the man seemed so honest it was as if he had nothing to hide.
On the other hand, Yu Ming could probably see that Bai Chen was trying to carefully contemplate everything, and that was why the Werewolf Prince didn’t immediately respond to his words.
Seeing how the Prince remained silent, Yu Ming finally let out a heavy sigh before setting his eyes on a place behind a boulder not far from the river. “Wu Jinhai, you better come out and explain everything to your lover!” He said to someone, and Bai Chen couldn’t even breathe when he heard those words.
