Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Yin Na brought her hands on her waist. "Stand up and leave my room," She told Huo Jin with a stern expression, who shook his head and laid down, spreading his arms on the bed.

Yin Na again held his arm and pulled him up. "Huo Jin, don't be stubborn. Get up," she still had kept her voice low. However, she was not strong enough to move him from his place.

Huo Jin drew his arm to his side and Yin Na fell over him. He gazed into her eyes and smiled a little. "Don't learn archery from Xu Wenhai. I am a better teacher than him," Huo Jin urged him.

"Huh?" Yin Na placed her palms on the mattress to get up when Huo Jin wrapped his arms around her.

"You did not answer me," Huo Jin said and gazed into her eyes. "Refuse Xu Wenhai to train you. I do not like it," He stated.

"But he can teach me within months," Yin Na answered. Her heart had started to race because of Huo Jin's deep gaze. Although the candle near the bed was blown off, the candle in the room adjacent to the bedroom still had a candle glowing which was the reason that they could see each other's faces.

"He lied to you. He does not want me to teach you," Huo Jin answered.

"Why would he lie for such a trivial matter?" Yin Na arched her brow up.

"Don't you know?"

So, he came to her room at this hour, to argue on who would help her learn archery! Yin Na was confused by Huo Jin's behavior.

"Did you say yes to him because I made you cry?" His question brought her out of those thoughts.

"Huo Jin, I could not refuse him. Also, I do not want to waste your time," Yin Na gave a random reply to him which was not acceptable to Huo Jin. "Let me go and go to your room. It is late," Yin Na again requested him.

Huo Jin brought his hand near her face and put it at the left side of her neck. His thumb stroked her cheek. Yin Na gulped because this touch was different… an affectionate touch.

"You should not cry because I refuse to accept your feelings. You are the only person who made me feel so warm. Seeing your tears hurt me too," Huo Jin said. Yin Na's fingers clutched the fabric of Huo Jin's dress.

"Why do you g-get hurt?" She waited for his answer.

"Because a woman does not look good with tears in her eyes," Huo Jin answered. Yin Na was a little disappointed to hear the reply. She thought he would tell his feelings– what he felt towards her. Even in his drunk state, his answer was the same.

Huo Jin's eyes gradually started to close. "Don't go to him," he murmured before he fell asleep. Yin Na finally got up and found that Huo Jin was already asleep. It was not possible for her to send him to his room. If she told her servant, then she would tease her. Also, the matter could reach Wang Fuxing, who might punish Huo Jin.

So, she decided to let him sleep in her room. With the first ray of sun, she would wake him up and send him back to his room. She removed his shoes first and then pulled the quilt up to cover him from it. After this, she lifted his head a little and rested his head on the pillow.

She grabbed another pillow from the bed and went to the dressing room adjacent to the bedroom to sleep.

Yin Na's sleep broke abruptly and she found the brightness in the room. She immediately sat up and recollected last night's incident. "Huo Jin," she murmured and looked around.

To her surprise, Huo Jin was not in the room. "Wait! How did I get to my bed?" She wondered and furrowed her brows together. "Did he put me here?"

"Miss, are you awake?" She heard the voice of her attendant, who was at the door.

"Yes." The door opened instantly and the attendant walked in with two female servants. "Good morning, Miss. Today is a great day. General Wang is getting married," she said, placing her hands near her belly.

Yin Na smiled brightly and nodded her head.

"The marriage will be in the evening. Before that guests will be served. Miss, it is time for you to get ready and then greet your father and brother," the attendant told her, keeping the tone polite.

"Yes, let's go," Yin Na said and once again looked around the room. She glanced at the window, which was closed too. 'How did he leave?' she thought and left the room with the servants.

Yin Na, after freshening up and getting dressed, went to give the morning greetings to his father first, followed by the brother. Wang Hao told him to have breakfast with him. Yin Na agreed with him.

While Yin Na served the food to Wang Hao, he asked her, "Yin Na, did Huo Jin come to you last night?"

She widened her eyes, thinking how her brother found out. The teapot in her hand wavered and the tea fell out of the cup.

"Forgive me, Brother Wang," she apologized when Wang Hao took the teapot from her.

"You do not need to apologize," he said humbly and poured the tea for them in the cups. "You seem nervous. Is everything good?" He placed the teapot on the table and picked the teacup for Yin Na.

"Yes, Brother Wang. I am fine," she took the teacup from him and thanked him. Wang Hao picked the chopsticks and started to eat.

"Why did Brother ask me whether Huo Jin came to my room or not?" She wanted to know and took a small piece of soybean from the bowl.

"Ahh, last night, we both had a few drinks. I sent him to his room with a servant. However, he pushed him to the ground and then ran away. I thought maybe Huo Jin had come to meet you," he briefed her.

Yin Na chewed the food and swallowed it. "No, Brother Wang. Huo Jin did not come to my room," she did not know why she lied to her brother.. She felt odd for lying to him in the morning.
