Married To The Cruel Crown Prince-Chapter 756: Be my wife, Yin Na
Yin Na paced on the patio of the room. She time and again came towards the door to check but every time she would find it closed. She looked outside the window and found that night had already fallen.
"Why is he not coming back?" she mumbled and again came to the door. She opened it and to her surprise, Huo Jin was in front of her.
Her face shone up in the excitement and a smile appeared on her lips. "I-I was waiting for you. Where were you?" She asked him. Huo Jin stepped in and she got aside to let him come.
"Why are you here?" Huo Jin queried when a servant walked in with a tray in his hand.
"Young Master, this is your tonic time. The Young Master did not take it in the morning," the servant said humbly. Huo Jin picked the bowl and drank the bitter tonic. He put the bowl back on the tray and the servant left the room.
"You should not skip your medicine," Yin Na said in a low voice.
"I forgot," he replied and turned to look at her. "You did not answer my question. Why are you here?" He asked her again.
"First, you shall tell," Yin Na stated.
"If you have nothing to say, then leave. I have to change the dress," Huo Jin told her.
Yin Na motioned her hands in the air. She had many questions to ask him. So she started. "You did not answer me previously. You left in the middle without clearing my doubts." She looked into his eyes, trying to read what he was thinking at that moment.
"I already did," Huo Jin replied.
"That you love me," Yin Na said immediately after he completed his words. "I know it was tough for you to confess to me. So, I did. Those words had a similar meaning. Correct me if I am wrong," she told him and took a step toward him.
"Why don't you tell me why you said that you hate me?" Huo Jin questioned her.
"Is that important?" Yin Na knitted her brows. "I said that in anger because you forced me to say that," she answered him while recalling his conversation with Xu Wenhai and halted before her.
"You are not supposed to say that even in anger," Huo Jin stated. "It was enough to pierce my heart," he clarified to her.
"Why did you say to Xu Wenhai that you never loved me?" Yin Na's eyes filled with tears while her voice choked. "I did everything to make you like me. It was you because of whom I had to say that. I know that I can never take the place of Xinyue, but I tried my best to make a place in your heart." She finally told him the reason why she was furious at him.
"Did you hear our conversa
tion?" Huo Jin raised his left eyebrow.
"Why? You did not want me to hear it," she taunted him.
"You should have listened to the full conversation before saying that to me," Huo Jin asserted.
'Did I miss something?' she asked herself while peering into his eyes.
"You shall go to your room. I am tired and want to rest for a while," Huo Jin thought to end the conversation between them.
"No. Tell me first, what did you two talk about?" Yin Na adamantly demanded an answer from him. She did not want to play any more games with him. A direct answer was all that she needed.
"It's men's talk," Huo Jin stated, ending the conversation with her.
"I understand men's talk well," Yin Na affirmed.
When Huo Jin did not answer, Yin Na said, "Fine. I will ask Xu Wenhai myself. He will never lie to me. At least, I can trust him with that," she proclaimed and turned to leave when Huo Jin swiftly came in front of her.
"Why will you ask him? Why can't you trust me? When I said that it was men's talk, then it is!" Huo Jin authorized.
Yin Na chuckled. "You lie a lot. I need to know what you two talked about. You do not have any idea how much your words hurt me. I am sick of it. That's why I want to know what's in your mind, in your heart for me," she explained to him.
"I hate it when you say that Xinyue did a lot for you. It makes me jealous. And at the same time, it hurts me because I feel I am unable to make a place in your heart," she blurted out everything that she had in her head while tears rolled over her cheeks.
Huo Jin sealed her lips with a kiss. Yin Na's eyes grew big. He slowly pulled away and she heard him say, "You already make a place in my heart. You fool!" Huo Jin's hand rested on her cheek as he caressed it.
"You know how I grew up. I had no one to lean on, to look after me. It took me a lot of time to understand that I never loved Xinyue. I never did. You think a lot," Huo Jin stated.
"But…you…" she paused as she was unable to comprehend the words.
"Don't take her name. Let's talk about the present. You don't need to ask Xu Wenhai either. Indeed, I never loved you earlier, but I fell for you hard. I told Xu Wenhai that he had lost his chance to win your heart because I am the one who would do that. I love you and I want to marry you. Be my wife, Yin Na," Huo Jin finally confessed his feelings to her.
His fingers tucked the fringes behind her ear.
Yin Na was unable to believe her ear
s. "Will you say it one more time?" She requested him.
"I love you," Huo Jin said.
Yin Na smiled and a tint of red formed on her cheeks which spread to her ears. She tightly hugged him and unbeknownst to her, the tears started to fall from her eyes.
"Huo Jin," she mumbled, "you should have told me earlier. I love you too, Huo Jin."
Huo Jin was confused to hear her sobs and cupped her face between his palms. "Don't cry, Yin Na," he said and wiped the tears off her cheeks.
"I can't help," Yin Na replied while smiling. "Huo Jin, thank you," she could not express her happiness and again hugged him.
