Married To The Cruel Crown Prince-Chapter 734: Fantasize
Huo Jin got checked by the doctor, who cleaned the wound again and applied a fresh layer of herbal paste over it. Huo Jin winced in pain because of the burn ye felt. The beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The doctor tied the bandage around his chest and told him to not use his right arm too much. "Give it enough rest that the wound gets healed soon," he advised Huo Jin. Once he was done, he bowed before Wang Fuxing and his son.
"Luckily, the young man is absolutely fine. It will take one to two weeks to get healed, Lord Wang," the doctor informed Wang Fuxing, who hummed and caressed his beard.
"Thank you for giving the right treatment to Huo Jin," Wang Fuxing said and gazed at Wang Hao, who handed the pouch filled with coins to the doctor. The doctor thanked him and left.
Wang Fuxing sat down on the round stool and asked Huo Jin how he was feeling.
"I thought I would die," Huo Jin answered.
Wang Hao knitted his brows and asked him if he knew about the attackers. "Why did it happen?" He asked.
"Liang Wu sent his men to kill me. I was surrounded by the five masked men, who tried to kill me. Liang Wu shot the arrow towards me," Huo Jin told them the truth.
"Father, you were right," Wang Hao said, glancing at Wang Fuxing.
"You were lucky, Huo Jin, that the soldiers were training in the forest. They brought you to the residence, else you had almost died," Wang Fuxing told him.
"You should have controlled your anger, Huo Jin. Throwing punches at a man makes the situation worse," Wang Hao scolded him.
"I did not imagine that Liang Wu would try to kill me. Also, General Wang, he deserved to be punched," Huo Jin said with annoyance.
"Huo Jin, you made an upper-classman angry. Liang Wu did not like it. Also, you are not a Wang Family member by birth. His Father will take the matter to the Prime Minister. You might get punished for raising your hand on him," Wang Hao said with a concerned look.
"He did wrong, General Wang. Why would I get punished?" Huo Jin was confused to hear.
"Stay quiet, you both!" Wang Fuxing scolded them. "Don't stress yourself and take plenty of rest. Since Liang Wu attacked you after harassing Yin Na, he will surely be punished," Wang Fuxing stated and gestured to Wang Hao to not say anything.
"Huo Jin, in other ministers' eyes it is a crime to hit a person who is higher in rank than you. Hope you will understand," Wang Fuxing answered.
Huo Jin nodded his head. "Forgive me for creating the troubles for you," he apologized and lowered his head.
"It is not a problem for us. We are worried for you as a family," Wang Fuxing said. "Have your breakfast and then take a rest."
Wang Fuxing stood up and left the room while Wang Hao stayed back.
"I will tell the police bureau that Liang Wu attacked you. I did not start the investigation and was waiting for you to wake up," Wang Hao said.
"Will I be punished because of my status?" Huo Jin queried him.
"I guess so. Your rank might create problems, but I will try my best to not let you get punished in any way," Wang Hao assured him.
"Brother Wang, why don't you kill Liang Wu?" They both heard Yin Na's voice, who was near the door with a tray in her hand. She stepped inside and put the tray on the table.
"Yin Na, I cannot take law into my hands," Wang Hao stated.
"Why? Isn't Brother Wang the General of Han?" Yin Na questioned him.
"It does not mean that he has to kill Liang Wu just because he hurt me," Huo Jin interrupted in between them.
"Huo Jin is right," Wang Hao agreed with him.
"What if Huo Jin had lost his life?" Yin Na asked her brother. "His life also matters. How could Liang Wu hurt him for his own mistake?" Yin Na was angry.
"If Brother Wang cannot kill him, then I will," she said wit
h a firm tone.
Huo Jin and Wang Hao were bewildered to hear her.
"General Wang, I may sound rude, but will you leave us alone?" Huo Jin requested Wang Hao, who blinked a few times before acknowledging his request.
The servant outside the room closed the doors when Wang Hao left.
Huo Jin put the quilt away and put his feet on the floor when Yin Na rushed to him. "Stay in the bed," she told him.
"I need to wear my upper garment," Huo Jin said.
"I will get it. Stay here." Yin Na turned and went to the door. She asked about Huo Jin's clothes, who came in and took out a pair from the cupboard.
"Thank you, Brother," Yin Na told the servant, who bowed and walked out of the room. She came to Huo Jin and put the robes on the mattress beside him. She picked the soft, silk upper jacket.
However, Huo Jin took it from her. She found him angry.
"I will—"
"No need," Huo Jin coldly answered her and started to wear it. He squeezed his eyes as he felt pain while putting the sleeve over his right arm.
Yin Na sat on his right and grasped the garment's sleeve. "I will help," she said and then gently moved it up on his right arm. "Turn to me," she urged, and when Huo Jin did not, she stood up and bent down.
She tied the knot lightly on the upper garment and stood straight.
"I was scared," Yin Na said.
"You don't need to be," Huo Jin replied.
"Why?" Yin Na asked him. She found it strange that he was behaving oddly around her.
"Because my life should not bother you," Huo Jin stated.
"It is your fault to make me fall in love with you," Yin Na retorted at him. Huo Jin stared into her eyes. "After waking up, this was the first thing that you have to say to me," she was dejected.
He had no idea how much she prayed last night. She never prayed this way for anyone in her life. Could he not see her love for him? She gulped her anger and went to the table.
Picking the tray, she said, "This herbal soup will provide you strength and help you heal faster."
She put the tray on the bedside round table and then picked the bowl. "I will help you since your arm cannot be moved," Yin Na stated.
Huo Jin let her do that. He opened his mouth and slurped the soup from the spoon. No matter how hard he tried, he could not remain angry with her. He wanted to push her away from him for an unknown reason.
"Everyone was so tense about you. You were not waking up. The bleeding was intense. Even your body temperature was too high," Yin Na told him.
"Also, what are those strange marks on your body? Last time, I saw them on your back. Were you punished severely by your last master?" Yin Na queried him.
Huo Jin sipped the soup and licked his lips.
"Why did you look at me? I thought you had covered your eyes," Huo Jin stated.
"Your body looks good," Yin Na said as a blush appeared on her cheeks, "I mean those muscles. So, I thought to take a peek. You indeed have a muscular body, the same way I imagined you. I don't like skinny men."
Huo Jin did not ever imagine that Yin Na would fantasize about him.
"I shall turn skinny then," Huo Jin affirmed.
"I did not mean that," Yin Na said. "I would have liked you even if you were skinny," she clarified and brought the spoonful of soup in front of Huo Jin's mouth. He sipped it and told her that he did not want to drink more.
"Just three spoons," Yin Na said.
"It's bitter. My tastebuds will die," Huo Jin said with annoyance. "You prepared this soup, right?" He asked her.
"No. The chef made it," Yin Na said and pushed the spoon into his mouth in anger.
She took it out and made him drink the remaining soup. Once h
e finished, Yin Na wiped his lips with her fingers.
Huo Jin moved back when he heard Yin Na say,
"Last night, you were so obedient. Do you hate my touch?" She scrunched her nose and then put her hand down.
She put the bowl on the tray and then picked the glass. Making him drink the water, she put it back on the tray.
Huo Jin's heart fluttered the way she was taking care of him. She wiped the sweat from his forehead when their eyes met again.
"Is there something on my face?" Yin Na asked.
Huo Jin shook his head. "Thank you, Yin Na." He then kissed her cheek .
