Chapter 614 - Return Of Wang Hao's Father
"Ahh," she screamed and the next second she was on top of Huo Jin. He could not balance himself and fell back on the floor mattress. His right hand automatically moved on her waist while she landed on him.
They both gazed into each other's eyes. Yin Na immediately moved away from him. Huo Jin sat up and lowered his eyes. There was an awkward silence between the two.
"Forgive me," Yin Na said in a low voice. Huo Jin glanced at her and told her not to bother about that.
Yin Na clutched the edge of her high waist skirt. She stood up and walked out of the room. Sliding the door behind her, she leaned against it.
Fai Fai came to her and asked, "Miss, why are your cheeks red?"
Yin Na moved her hands up and rested her palms on her cheeks. "It was hot inside," she replied and walked ahead. Fai Fai got perplexed to hear the answer of Yin Na, but she didn't ask anything further and followed her.
Huo Jin, on the other hand, looked at his wrist. Though there was nothing he felt, it was the first time someone talked this way with him– apart from Xinyue. "No wound is big or small," he chuckled and looked at the first-aid kit on the table. He picked it up and put it on the table beside the cupboard. He then picked the stained blood piece of cloth and walked out of the room.
Yin Na came to her room and sat in front of the mirror. She found that her cheeks were indeed turned red. Fai Fai was confused to see her acting strangely. Yin Na gradually moved her hand up and rested it on her chest. To her surprise, her heart was beating strangely. It never happened with her. Not even once!
"Miss, what happened?" Fai Fai finally asked her.
"My heart it's beating strangely," she said and tilted her head to look at Fai Fai. She instantly went near her and asked her to explain more.
"Miss, did something inside the room of Master Huo?" Fai Fai asked. "I heard your scream, Miss," she stated.
Yin Na gulped. "Yes, I fell on the floor," she did not tell the complete truth to her as it was a little embarrassing for her.
"You did not get hurt, Miss, did you? Was the impact huge when you fell?" Fai Fai inquiries made Yin Na nervous.
"It was nothing," Yin Na replied.
Suddenly the room door opened and a servant walked in. "Miss, General Wang's father has arrived," she informed him. Yin Na immediately stood up from her seat and walked out. She was a little nervous thinking what General Wang's father would say upon seeing her? However, when she reached the courtyard she saw Wang Hao too.
A smile formed on her lips as Wang Hao came home to receive his father. Huo Jin too came to the Courtyard.
Wang Hao hugged his father and smiled. "Father, I missed your presence," he said. Wang Fuxing patted the back of his son. Both pulled away from each other.
"The Emperor is no more. I got late. I could not even see him for the last time," Wang Fuxing said regretfully. "How is everyone in the Palace?" He then asked.
"Everything has gotten back to its place. The Crown Prince has taken the throne as the next Emperor of Han. He was also asking about you," Wang Hao informed his father.
Wang Fuxing was glad to hear that. "Only the Crown Prince could take the seat of the Emperor," he stated. His gaze fell on Yin Na and Huo Jin, who were standing a little far.
"Who are they?" Wang Fuxing asked his son. Wang Hao turned back and saw both of them.
"Father, this is Yin Na," Wang Hao introduced her, pointing his hand towards Yin Na, "my younger sister and this is Huo Jin–my friend."
Yin Na and Huo Jin stepped forward and greeted Wang Fuxing.
"Are you the same girl whom Wang Hao rescued a few years ago?" Wang Fuxing questioned her.
"Yes," she took a pause as she could not understand how to address Wang Hao's father. She was a little nervous too.
"You can call him father," Wang Hao said.
"I would be glad," Wang Fuxing agreed with his son. "You have grown up into a beautiful woman," he said. Yin Na smiled and thanked him for allowing her to address him as 'father'.
Wang Fuxing peered at Huo Jin. "You look like a well-trained warrior. Let's talk in the evening. I would like to rest for some time," he stated and glanced at Wang Hao.
"Father, I am leaving in an hour for the Eastern Province," Wang Hao informed him and then narrated the order of Sheng Li to him.
"Strange things happened in the Palace lately. Sure! You can leave. Return soon. Till then Yin Na and Huo Jin will give me the company," Wang Fuxing stated with a smile. He patted the shoulder of Wang Hao.
"Also, I want you to get married. After your return, you will get married. I do not want to listen to excuses regarding your marriage anymore," Wang Fuxing asserted.
"You are 28, yet you are not ready to marry. This time I will not listen to you," Wang Fuxing stated. "Last time you refused to marry the girl without even meeting her," he was a little upset.
"Father, I was in a military campaign with the Crown Prince. How could I even marry that time? I did not want her to suffer when I would not be around. I promise you that I will marry, Father," Wang Hao affirmed and looked at Huo Jin. Wang Fuxing was relieved to hear that.
"Take care of everyone here in my absence. I will be back soon," he stated and then went towards Yin Na. He caressed her head.
"Brother Wang, travel safely," she said. Wang Hao nodded and then took his leave.. Wang Fuxing looked at both of them.
