Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[37] Emperor vs General Bai

General Bai was busy with training the new recruit. It had been some time since he last saw his child and it worried him. Even after sending Zhang Changming, Bai Jian Yu wasn't assured. He knew the young man treated his ger son like a younger brother and that was the reason he felt it was safe for his Xiao Chen to be with the man.

But, then, suddenly Zhang Changming was back to the training ground and told him that the Emperor was with his child.

That big perverted wolf!

Bai Jian Yu almost swore out loud. He then hastily left the training ground and went to his office. He didn't have time to acknowledge the soldiers or lower rank people who greeted him. In his mind, Xiao Chen's chastity was in a danger.

'I'll kill you if you try anything! It doesn't matter if you're an Emperor or not!'

Arriving at his office, Bai Jian Yu pushed open the door and shouted, "Xiao Chen! Don't be scared! Father is here!"

What he saw was not his ger son and the Emperor alone in the room. But, with them, there was also Zhang Liqin who was sitting and pouring tea to the young couple.

Zhan Chen blinked his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Father? What are you doing here? Don't you have training?"

Emperor Xian Long Wei stood up and bowed at the older man, "Uncle Bai, why don't you join us for the tea?"

Bai Jian Yu who was about to spout curses at the younger man, shut his mouth and glared unhappily at the younger man.

"Father, let's sit," Zhan Chen walked to him and pulled the older male to sit with them. He glanced with anxiousness at the older male who was glaring at the Emperor. Pouring the tea, he smiled at the general, "Father, why don't you try this tea? Wei Dage especially bought it for m-us." Zhan Chen sweat dropped. He almost said 'me' there.

Bai Jian Yu's anger deplated at his only ger son's sweet voice. He let out a sigh and smiled as he patted Zhan Chen's soft hair. "Thank you, Xiao Chen," he then took a sip of the tea and reluctantly compliment because the tea was indeed excellent, "hm... It does taste good."

Zhan Chen secretly heaved a sigh. He was afraid the older male would try to fight the emperor.

Emperor Xian inwardly felt troubled. He wanted to close the distance between the General and himself to promote his relationship with Zhan Chen but it was really hard. The older man was not ready to give his ger son to him... yet.

Yes, yet. Because Xian Long Wei would make sure he get an approval from the older man.

"I'm glad uncle like it," Xian Long Wei smiled as he poured another cup for General Bai. "Here, have more uncle. Also, if uncle likes it, I can give the leaves for you and aunt."

"Hm... Thank you," Bai Jian Yu again reluctantly thanking the younger man. He just wanted to pull Zhan Chen away from this man. After drinking the tea, he decided it was enough. Standing up, he pulled Zhan Chen with him and smiled at the Emperor.

"Long Wei ah, sorry, uncle and Zhan Chen would have to go home first."

Zhan Chen who was pulled up, widened his eyes and looked up at Bai Jian Yu in confusion, "We're going home?"

Bai Jian Yu hastily added, "En, it seems Father has left something at home." He smiled at his ger son as he pulled the younger one.

Not willing to go home yet, Zhan Chen pulled at his hand in Bai Jian Yu's hand. "It's fine, father. I can stay here with Wei Dage. Wei Dage can send me back home before night."

Both Bai Jian Yu and Xian Long Wei didn't expect that Zhan Chen would say that.

Being stared by the two men, Zhan Chen just realised how peculiar his words were... or maybe not. Blushing, he stuttered, "um, I just want to spend some time with Wei Dage," he paused and saw Bai Jian Yu's expression was getting black. He realised he had phrased it wrong, "I-I mean, the sword training looked so exciting! I want to learn some sword play too!"

Xian Long Wei felt happy and his mood was exceptionally good when he heard his beloved. "Chen Chen is right. Uncle, I can accompany Chen Chen and I promise I'll send him back before dinner."

Bai Jian Yu was helpless. He didn't know if he wanted to get angry at his dear ger son for not understanding his intention, "Xiao Chen ah, father can teach you swordsmanship if you want but I don't think your mother will agree."

Zhan Chen knew that his father was only cared about him but he also wanted to have a say. Also, it was boring for him these days and with Emperor Xian here he wouldn't get bored again. So, despite knowing Bai Jian Yu's intent, he put up a pair of puppy eyes and stared up at his father with pleading face.

"Can I stay and spend time with Wei Dage?"

Bai Jian Yu was stared by those big, round eyes. He knew he was always weak to his son's plead but this time, he had to press harder. "Father is very sorry. Your grandfather is going to visit today. Maybe, next time." Inside he apologised to his father-in-law.

Emperor Xian inwardly frowned. He was sure he just heard that Prime Minister Li would be having a dinner with his old friend, the Treasurer, today. This was indeed another idea of General Bai to prevent him from getting closer to Zhan Chen.

He sighed and admitted his defeat. He didn't want to agitate General Bai anymore, so, he smiled apologetically to his Chen Chen, "Then, I won't be disturbing General Bai's family time. Chen Chen ah, Wei Dage would visit you next time."

Zhan Chen pouted in disappointment and nodded his head reluctantly. "Then, you must remember to visit me. And I won't forgive Wei Dage if you don't come sooner!"

Chuckling, Xian Long Wei nodded his head. He wanted to pat Zhan Chen's head but the sharp eyed General Bai made him to forget about his intention. Instead he bid good bye to his sweetheart and watched as General Bai walked out of the room while guarding Zhan Chen from all men.

"At least, this way, Zhèn is assured that no man will try to steal my Chen Chen."

Shadow guards: "..." As if any man would brave enough to try to steal Bai Zhan Chen. Not with a dragon and a tiger guarding the future Empress.
