Married To The Cruel Crown Prince-Chapter 753: Lost your Chance

Huo Jin tried to move his shoulder when the pain shot up his right arm. He had checked the shoulder in the day to make sure the injury would not have a long time effect on it. The doctor had assured him that the injury would not affect his shoulder and arm in any way.

Huo Jin heard the sliding of the door and came to the main room to check. To his surprise, Xu Wenhai was standing in front of him. He saw a basket in his hand and wondered what he was doing in the residence.

"Forgive me for entering without permission. No one was outside," Xu Wenhai said and went towards the table which was placed near the window. He stowed the basket on the table and said, "it has a few sweets and fruits in it."

"That's not needed," Huo Jin said awkwardly.

"How are you doing?" Xu Wenhai asked him.

"Good," Huo Jin replied crisply. He did not know what more he could say to him. "Why did you come to see me? In your eyes, I am a traitor and should die." Huo Jin recalled Xu Wenhai's remarks which he directed earlier towards him.

"I apologized to you already for my previous behavior. I take back my words," Xu Wenhai said and lowered his eyes.

"I forgave you," Huo Jin said. "It is not your fault to think that way. You are taught to demean people below you," Huo Jin affirmed. Xu Wenhai did not deny his statement. Indeed, the noble class was superior to everyone, and if anyone low in rank tried to challenge them, they took it over their dignity. He did the same when he saw Yin Na's respect for Huo Jin.

"But I will never do this again in the future with you or anyone," Xu Wenhai promised and raised his hand, and the three fingers while joining small finger and thumb.

Huo Jin hummed and asked him to sit.

"Can I?" Xu Wenhai asked, raising his brow.

"Hmm." Huo Jin nodded his head. Xu Wenhai pulled out a chair around the table and settled on it.

"Would you like to drink tea?" Huo Jin asked him, who refused and told him to sit as he wanted to speak with him.

Huo Jin sat down and told him to begin.

"Do you love, Yin Na?" He asked.

Huo Jin knitted his brows and frowned.

"It is important for me to know because if you don't, then I will try my best to convince her that I am perfect for her. I cannot forget her. However, if you have feelings for her, then I will stop,"

Xu Wenhai stated. He waited for Huo Jin's answer which was most important for him.

Yin Na, who had come to Huo Jin's room, stopped when saw Xu Wenhai. She did not want to see his face and why he even came to the residence. Why did Huo Jin allow him to sit with him? It annoyed her when she heard them conversing.

She was curious to know what Huo Jin's answer would be to Xu Wenhai's question. Her heart pounded with each passing second, waiting to hear the magical words that she wanted to hear.

"I never loved her," Huo Jin answered.

Yin Na's eyes grew big and her heart broke into a million pieces. It felt to her that someone stabbed her hard. Tears appeared in her eyes and soon streamed down her cheeks. She thought the kiss he gave to her was the answer to his feelings, but it was the opposite. He kissed her with no feelings towards her.

She walked away while crying.

"I never loved her," Huo Jin said which brought a smile to Xu Wenhai's lips, "I was wrong to think this."

Xu Wenhai was puzzled to hear his full statement. Huo Jin clapped his fingers and put his hands on the table. "Forgive me, Xu Wenhai. I cannot let you get close to her because I love Yin Na and I will marry her. You lost your chance to win her heart when I stepped back," he finally confessed the truth about his feelings towards Yin Na.

Xu Wenhai had nothing more to say. He smiled at him. "I am glad to hear your decision. Indeed, you had given me the chance which I lost. I will not bother you two ever again," he proclaimed.

Huo Jin was astonished that Xu Wenhai calmly accepted his decision. "I thought you would fight with me for Yin Na," Huo Jin stated.

"I already mentioned to you that I would not come near Yin Na if you have feelings for her because it's of no use," Xu Wenhai stated.

"How will you forget her?" Huo Jin asked.

"I do not know," Xu Wenhai answered and rose to his feet. "I shall take my leave. Invite me to your marriage, Huo Jin. Let's consider each other friends from now on. You are a great man," he praised him.

Huo Jin tilted his head because it was puzzling him. Xu Wenhai's was egoist in his eyes. Was he wrong about him? He wondered for a second.

"Take plenty of rest and eat these fruits," Xu Wenhai told him before leaving his room. Huo Jin chuckled and then looked at the basket.

"It w

as odd to see him behave this way," Huo Jin murmured.

Yin Na, oppositely, cried her heart out while sitting in the lake pavilion. She did everything to show her sincerity towards him.

"Why does he love Xinyue who wanted to kill him? Can he not see how much it hurts me? I was scared when he was injured. He is unable to see what he means to me. I will not waste my time on him. Let the lightning hit him," Yin Na cursed him in anger and then started to cry. She propped her chin on the back of her right palm which rested on the wooden railing of the pavilion.

"I didn't want to curse him but it hurts," she mumbled as the tears continued to pour down her cheeks.
