Wu Jinhai was both disappointed and sad. He was disappointed because Bai Chen refused to be by his side when he wanted to visit his grandmother. Even if there was no verbal agreement between them, he thought the two of them would always stay together whether it was rain or shine, and that was why he felt displeased when the younger man said that he should go alone to see his grandmother.
Wu Jinhai was indeed disappointed, but he actually felt more sadness in his heart because he knew that Bai Chen was right in what he said. He knew his grandmother's condition would only get worse if she saw the Crown Prince of Dong Lang visiting her.
It was sad but true, and Wu Jinhai had no choice but to ask his lover to wait for him in his palace while he went to the Empress Dowager's quarter together with Hu Shan who was obediently walking behind him at the moment.
