Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 724 Resist Me

Huo Jin woke up late because he was tired from the last day's work. A servant informed him about Wang Fuxing to Xu Residence.

It worried Huo Jin as he was supposed to tell Wang Fuxing what happened last night with Yin Na. As he came to Yin Na's room and did not find her there.

"Where did she go?" Huo Jin asked the guard, who was guarding her place.

"Young Master, Miss Yin Na is with Lady Bai," the guard answered him.

Huo Jin was relieved to hear this. However, he wanted to talk to her once about her argument with Xu Wenhai. He had many questions for her, which only she could answer.

So, he decided to wait for her outside General Wang's quarters near the plum blossom tree. Because the winters were approaching, it had dried.

After waiting for her an hour, he finally got to see her. Yin Na, who was with her personal attendant, upon seeing Huo Jin told her to leave earlier.

She came towards Huo Jin and asked him what he was doing under the tree.

"Let's talk, Yin Na," Huo Jin said.

"About?" Yin Na arched her brow up.

"Yesterday's incident," Huo Jin replied and walked ahead. Yin Na ran after him and told him that she had nothing to talk about.

"I told Father in the morning that I would never marry Xu Wenhai," Yin Na stated. Huo Jin halted at his place and Yin Na's forehead hit against his back.

She stepped back and rubbed her forehead while Huo Jin turned to face her. "Did you tell everything to Father?" He queried her.

"Hmm." She put her hand down.

"Why? You told me that Xu Wenhai is a good person," Huo Jin stated. Though he knew that Yin Na returned the hairpin which was a token towards her marriage with Xu Wenhai because he was disrespectful to him, he wanted to hear it from her mouth.

Yin Na, oppositely, did not want Huo Jin to feel low, so she refrained from telling the truth.

"I just don't like him. Leave it. I do not want to talk about it," Yin Na said and walked past him. Huo Jin turned to her and started walking along with her.

"You two argued with each other before his friends appeared on the bridge. What was it about?" Huo Jin asked her.

"Why did you follow me?" Yin Na instead of answering inquired from him.

"I told you that after General Wang, I must take care of you until you get married," Huo Jin affirmed.

Yin Na did not like his statement. "What if I will never get married? Then, will you take care of me?" She asked with annoyance.

Huo Jin had no answer for that. His lips quivered when he heard Yin Na.

"I have decided. I will not marry anyone except you. I will try my best to win your heart, Huo Jin. I will show what care feels like that you will not be able to push me away," Yin Na stated with a firm tone.

Huo Jin gaped at her and chuckled. "You must have lost your mind," he said in a low voice and then turned to leave.

He was intimidated by Yin Na's determination and a smile carved on his lips upon hearing her words.

He narrowly gazed at his sleeve which Yin Na had caught. She came forward and their eyes met.

"Father told me that he will not arrange my marriage. I am free to follow my heart. I love you, Huo Jin, and will always do," Yin Na again confessed to him.

Huo Jin gulped and his fingers curled up.

He widened his eyes when Yin Na kissed him. He felt his body numb for a second. He pushed Yin Na away by putting his hands on her shoulder. His eyes flickered in nervousness.

"Yo-you are not supposed t-to do that," he found himself stuttering.

Yin Na put her hands on the back of his palms and brought them to the front. "I will do it daily, three times a day until your heart," she gestured towards his chest, "will start thumping for me. Huo Jin, I will become your dream wife and devote myself to you."

Yin Na's eyes gleamed with determination towards winning Huo Jin's heart.

Huo Jin, on the other hand, lowered his eyes. He was feeling strange but his mind did not let him accept this weird feeling. He pulled his hands away from her grip and promptly left.

He stopped and rested his back on the pillar. Touching his lips, he shook his head. "How could she do that? Why did Father allow her to chase me?" He muttered.

He twiddled with his fingers before going back to his room.

He pushed the door and found Yin Na near the table.

"Huo Jin, the breakfast is ready. You never told me what your favorite food is, so I cooked a normal meal for today," she stated and motioned her hand in the air.

"Come and take your seat," she told him in her soft voice, keeping a broad smile on her lips.

Huo Jin could not believe his eyes that she arrived in his room earlier than him and even set the breakfast table.

Yin Na found him not moving from his place, so she came to him and grasped his hand. She brought him near the table and pushed him on the chair.

"What about you? Did you eat?" He queried her.

"Hmm. I had my breakfast with Sister Bai," Yin Na said and picked the lid from the bowl which had steamed buns in it. She put three buns on the plate and told Huo Jin to start.

Yin Na sat on the other chair and rested her elbows on the table's surface. Her chin rested on her fists and fixed her gaze at him.

Huo Jin started eating and found her eyes on him. "Why are you looking at me that way?" He questioned while looking at her as he chewed the soft bun.

"It is said that if you look into the eyes of your lover, then you fall deeply in love with him," Yin Na said with a bright smile.

Huo Jin started to cough and searched for the water glasswhen Yin Na handed it to him. She caressed his back while he drank the water.

Huo Jin put the glass down and glanced at Yin Na, who had stopped caressing his back.

He furrowed his brows together because he never expected such a statement from her. He then averted them and ate the remaining bun.

Yin Na had already poured the tea into a porcelain cup, and she forwarded it to him. "Drink it too," she said.

Huo Jin picked up the cup and sipped the tea. "You are the first man for whom I cooked food. Shouldn't you praise me a little?" Yin Na asked him.

"Did you make it?" He queried her.

Yin Na nodded her head and pursed her lips tightly.

"You should not lie to me. I know the chef helped you," Huo Jin said.

"You don't know how to steam the buns. Last time, you tried and ended up burning the kitchen," he recalled the day and smiled.

"It was a small fire, Huo Jin," Yin Na snapped at him. "I did not burn the kitchen," she pouted her lips.

Huo Jin smiled and put the cup on the table. "Yin Na, I saw smoke coming out of the kitchen from my eyes," he asserted and grinned.

"Fine. I accept that it happened but today I truly made these buns with my own hands. The chef helped me a little," Yin Na stated and scrunched her nose.

"Can you not praise me a little? I prepared this breakfast with so much love. I poured my heart out while making the tea. Can you not feel it?" She queried him with high hopes.

"The tea looks plain to me," Huo Jin asserted and put the cup on the table.

"Really?" She asked him.

"But even Sister Bai liked my tea. She told me that you will surely love it," Yin Na mumbled.

"Did you tell Sister Bai about this?" Huo Jin asked him with a shocking expression.

"What?"

"About your feelings," Huo Jin clarified.

Yin Na nodded her head.

"You were not supposed to do that," Huo Jin stated.

"Why? I will shout in front of the people in the middle of the market that I have feelings for you," stated Yin Na.

Huo Jin confusedly peered at him. What had gotten into her? Why was she so desperate about it?

"You might get hurt," Huo Jin said with a serious expression on his face.

"Not this time, Huo Jin. I will make you go crazy for me. You will not be able to resist me," Yin Na affirmed and smiled at him.

Huo Jin was awestruck to hear it.

What happened to Yin Na in just one night that she was behaving this way?
