Chapter 671 - Want To Become His
Wang Hao ended the tour with Bai Yaling. He found she was a little tired, so took her to the open pavilion and made her sit on a chair.
The servant brought the fresh water and placed the tray on the table. He poured the water into a glass and handed it to Bai Yaling. She took the glass and started to drink the water. After she finished, Wang Hao took the glass from her and put it back on the tray. The servant walked away while Wang Hao took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
He got on one knee and wiped the forehead of Bai Yaling. She clutched her dress and gazed into his eyes. "Pregnancy is making you tired. Forgive me, for making you walk so much," Wang Hao said and put his hand down. He put the handkerchief inside his pocket.
Bai Yaling looked around and said, "General Wang's house is lovely. There is something I want to know from General Wang. Hopefully, he will not get angry."
Wang Hao got confused when he heard that. "What does the Princess want to ask me?" He queried her.
"Why doesn't General Wang sit on the chair first? It seems inappropriate to me that he's on the floor," Bai Yaling said humbly. Wang Hao stood up and sat on the chair beside her.
"Is it good now?" He asked her.
Bai Yaling nodded her head.
"General Wang, I heard that your younger sister passed away a long time ago. Forgive me, if I sounded rude," she immediately lowered her eyes as the smile from Wang Hao's lips disappeared.
"Does Princess Bai want to know about my sister?" Wang Hao asked her.
Bai Yaling lifted her eyes and nodded her head. "If you feel comfortable to share with me, there is no compulsion," Bai Yaling stated.
Wang Hao hummed. "Yin Na is also my younger sister. I met her during the years of the military campaign with the former Emperor. I rescued her and called her my sister. However, I made a mistake at that time," Wang Hao stated.
"What kind of mistake, General Wang?" Bai Yaling questioned him.
"I sent her to her original brother, but then he sold her and she ended up in a brothel house," Wang Hao said.
Bai Yaling slightly widened her eyes.
"When I found out about this, I decided to bring her out of that Brothel house. The Former Emperor and the present Emperor helped me. Since then, she's been living with me. She is my younger sister and the daughter of the Wang Family," Wang Hao pronounced.
Bai Yaling was surprised to hear that. In this era, where men saw women as a tool of mere entertainment, Wang Hao was different among them. Yin Na's own mother disowned her by selling her off. However, an unknown man rescued her and made her his sister. Bai Yaling was touched by the kindness of Wang Hao. He was not only a great General but a great man from now on in her eyes.
Wang Hai flicked his fingers in front of the eyes of Bai Yaling, who came out of her deep thoughts.
"What is Princess Bai thinking?" Wang Hao asked her.
"You are a man with high morals. It is tough to find such a man," Bai Yaling complimented him in an informal tone.
Wang Hao smiled a little. "My mother and father should be praised for inculcating these values in me," he stated.
"Usually men don't think about women especially if she's not from a noble family. Those lives hardly matter, but General Wang embraced an unknown person. It is truly admirable," Bai Yaling asserted.
"The loss of my younger sister was grave to me. Yin Na filled that gap of sister in my life. I called her my sister the day I saw her, and as her elder brother, it was my duty to save her no matter what. She was ten at that time and I still remember, she called me Brother. It was such a nice feeling," Wang Hao said with a bright smile.
"In my life, I can do anything for two women– One is my sister and the other is Princess Bai," Wang Hao then said.
Bai Yaling's heart fluttered a little upon hearing that statement. She recalled how Wang Hao tied the pendant around her neck. His feelings were genuine for her.
"Does General Wang's father know that I am already pregnant?" The answer to this question was extremely important to her.
"Yes, Princess Bai. In fact, my entire family knows," Wang Hao replied. "When I told my Father, he said that he will get to see a grandchild too. He will truly be happy if Princess Bai agrees to marry me," Wang Hao said with a confident tone.
This was his chance to prove to her his loyalty to this relationship. "Princess Bai, I never got attracted to any woman in my life. You are my first and will be my last," Wang Hao affirmed.
Bai Yaling smiled and stood up from the chair. She went towards the railing that was made around the pavilion. Wang Hao walked to her.
"What happened? Why did you come here?" Wang Hao inquired from her.
"General Wang, I want to look at that pond," Bai Yaling said. "I remember the day when you saved me. I had given up on my life completely, but your words bothered me a lot." She shifted her gaze towards him.
Wang Hao was still not able to understand her words.
"I sincerely want to thank General Wang once again for saving my life and the life inside me," Bai Yaling stated. She took off the pendant from her neck that Wang Hao had given to her when he stopped her.
"Don't do this," Wang Hao urged her.
Bai Yaling took a step towards Wang Hao and put it back in General Wang's neck. "It's right place is in your neck, not mine. Your Father gave it for your success.. I cannot take it, but I surely want to become his," Bai Yaling stated and put her hands down.
