Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 702 - Obnoxious Personality

Huo Jin checked the goods before letting them enter the residence when a carriage pulled before him. He put his hand down and saw Xu Wenhai getting out of the cart.

'Why did he come here early in the morning?' Huo Jin thought and averted his gaze from him. Xu Wenhai noticed that a chuckle escape his mouth.

"How dare he avoid me?" He murmured. He had thought to greet him, but when Huo Jin ignored his presence, he also avoided him and went inside the Residence. The servants had bowed their heads in Xu Wenhai's respect. They both tilted their heads to narrowly gaze at each other.

"What an obnoxious personality!" They both commented on each other.

Xu Wenhai walked in while Huo Jin got busy with the marriage's remaining work.

Wang Hao was surprised to see Minister Xu in the residence. "General Wang, I thought to provide a helping hand today. Also, Mother has sent something for Yin Na," Xu Wenhai informed him.

"Oh. Yin Na must be in her room at the moment," Wang Hao told him. He realized that Xu Wenhai was a good and caring person.

"Where is your father? I would like to greet him as well," Xu Wenhai asked about Wang Fuxing.

"Father has gone to the Palace. A problem has occurred in Changying. So, Father thought to discuss the matter with the Emperor," Wang Hao replied.

Xu Wenhai was astonished to hear it because as a Minister, he was not aware of it.

"It has been kept as a secret. The Emperor will call the court after receiving the message from Changying," Wang Hao stated, thus clarifying Xu Wenhai.

"Hopefully, the situation is not too troublesome," Xu Wenhai said. Wang Hao hummed at him.

"Please this way, Minister Xu. I will call for Yin Na in the guest-chamber," Wang Hao stated. At that moment, the servant came to Wang Hao and whispered something in his ear.

"Forgive me, Minister Xu. I got urgent work to do, so will not be able to accompany you," Wang Hao felt sad when Xu Wenhai told him not to do that.

"I can wait for General Wang," Xu Wenhai said. Wang Hao thanked him for being understanding and left with the servant.

Once General Wang left, Xu Wenhai wondered to find Yin Na on his own. He asked a servant to lead him to Yin Na's room, who did so. However, the servant outside Yin Na's room informed him that she had gone to the garden.

Xu Wenhai left for the garden in the residence. He had already told the servant to leave, and himself was searching for her in the garden. Finally, he saw her on the bridge over the pond.

He walked to her. Somewhere, he was mesmerized to see Yin Na. She had worn a baby pink colored Hanfu dress and her hair was open. She was laughing along with her personal attendant, when found she suddenly stopped laughing and had lowered her head.

Yin Na turned to look and was startled to see Xu Wenhai approaching her. He halted before her. They both greeted each other.

"Could you please give us some privacy?" Xu Wenhai requested the attendant, who bowed and walked away.

"You came so early," Yin Na curiously glanced at him.

"Are you not happy to see me?" Xu Wenhai was a little disheartened to hear her statement.

"I did not mean that," Yin Na said. "What does Xu Wenhai want to talk about that he sent my attendant?" She then asked.

Xu Wenhai took out a wooden box from inside his sleeve pocket and showed it to Yin Na. "My Mother has sent this small present for you," he forwarded it to her. The wooden box was wide in length but small in breadth.

"For me?" She lifted her brows. Xu Wenhai hummed and told her to take that.

Yin Na placed her fingers on the box and lifted it. She opened it and saw a gold hairpin inside it. Her eyes glistened to see such an expensive present and then she peered at Xu Wenhai.

"Mother gifted you the treasure of Xu Family," Xu Wenhai asserted. "You will be my wife soon, so she must want you to wear it," He added. Yin Na did not expect that Xu's Family would accept her this early. She still had Huo Jin in her heart. Was she betraying them? Or was she fooling herself by believing that Huo Jin would accept her?

"You did not seem happy. Did you not like it?" Xu Wenhai asked her.

"No. It is so beautiful. I have never expected such a gracious present from anyone outside my family," Yin Na answered. "Please thank your mother for this," Yin Na expressed her gratitude and closed the box.

Xu Wenhai smiled at her. "Mother likes you a lot. I think you both will get along well after the marriage," Xu Wenhai deduced. Yin Na curled her lips into a smile.

"Does your mother not have those thoughts about me?" Yin Na wanted to ask this question in their first meeting, but because of hesitation, she kept it for later.

"I do not think so," Xu Wenhai replied. "She would not have agreed to send a proposal to you if she had a problem with it," Xu Wenhai affirmed.

Yin Na nodded her head when Xu Wenhai grasped her hands gently. Yin Na lifted her eyes to peer at him. "I will keep you happy. Also, I fell for you at the first sight," Xu Wenhai suddenly confessed to her.

Yin Na took that as a joke. "How could a person fall for someone at the first glance? I don't think that happens," she said in a low voice.

"It happens, Yin Na. I know that you are scared of men because of the way most of them treated you. Maybe that's one reason, that you do not believe in Love at first sight!" He deduced. Yin Na would agree with him for this.

Huo Jin, who had come to the pond after finishing his work to take some rest, saw both of them. Xu Wenhai and Yin Na were holding each other's hands.. He clenched his fists because it was not pleasing at all for him.
