Huo Jin stepped out of the carriage and thanked the chauffeur. He walked in and saw Wang Fuxing was walking in the garden. He bowed upon seeing him and walked to him.
"Master shall not roam in the garden. It is cold here," Huo Jin said worriedly while joining both of his hands.
"I don't get sick easily," Wang Fuxing said and smiled. "Where have you gone?" He then questioned him.
"To the Palace. The First Prince had some work from me," Huo Jin answered.
Wang Fuxing nodded his head. "Is General Wang back, Master?" Huo Jin asked him.
"Yes. He returned in the evening," Wang Fuxing replied to him. Huo Jin was relieved to hear that. "My son is not marrying the daughter of the Prime Minister," he suddenly said, and the statement bewildered Huo Jin.
"What happened, Master?" Huo Jin queried.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"He loves someone else," Wang Fuxing replied.
"Isn't it great? You will get married to the woman whom you love," asserted Huo Jin.
"It is great when the feelings are returned both ways," Wang Fuxing corrected him. Huo Jin's head was struck with the words of Prince Nianzu.
"Why did the Master say this? Did the woman refuse to return the feelings of General Wang?" He asked confusedly.
"My son loves Princess Bai Yaling," Wang Fuxing replied. Huo Jin was shocked to hear that. "I have no objection with his feelings, but I am a little insecure about the feelings of Princess Bai. Will she return the feelings of my son or not?" He said anxiously.
"Master shall not worry. Princess Bai will surely respond to General Wang," Huo Jin stated.
"The love life of my son is going to be complicated. He is 28. I do not know when I will leave this body. That's why I want to see him get married before anything happens to me. If by any chance, Princess Bai refuses to marry, then what will happen? I do not know whether my son will agree to marry someone or not," Wang Fuxing expressed his worries.
"Master, General Wang is such a great man. Princess Bai will surely accept his feelings. My Master shall not worry too much," Huo Jin assured Wang Fuxing.
"What about you? Did you able to forget the woman whom you loved?" Wang Fuxing's sudden question flustered Huo Jin. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by nov????l(f)ire
"Why is the Master relating me to General Wang? Pardon me, but my case was different. The woman I love could not return my feelings because I was a slave. I had nothing. Your son is the nation's General. Princess Bai will surely accept his feelings," Huo Jin said confidently and smiled.
"Huo Jin, it is not about status. Does love ask for status? No. Never! If it would have, then the Fourth Prince had never married a commoner. Love is above everything. You are such a smart man, yet you did not understand it. Wang Hao's position is the same as yours. Princess Bai Yaling must have many things in her mind and she might refuse the feelings of my son. I am afraid of the aftermath of it," Wang Fuxing stated.
"I shall go back to my room. Have your dinner," Wang Fuxing told him and walked away.
Huo Jin never thought that way. The words of Wang Hao's father hit his mind like a hammer. 'If status would have mattered, then the Fourth Prince had never married a commoner'– this statement of Wang Fuxing hit Huo Jin hard. He shook his head and walked to his room.
As he ascended the few stairs of the building where his room was, he found Yin Na. "What are you doing here?" He asked her.
"I was waiting for you for a long time. Where were you?" Yin Na asked him and knitted her brows.
"I had some work in the Palace," Huo Jin did not tell her completely about his work. "What happened? Do you want something?" He then asked her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No," she waved her hands in the air.
"Then?" Huo Jin asked her.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be a fair in the market. Let's go in the evening," Yin Na asserted.
"Oh! What about your Brother? You usually go with Brother Wang," Huo Jin arched his brow as he got suspicious of her.
"Brother Wang will not be able to join. I asked him earlier. Brother said that he has an important piece of work in the Palace. It is my first festival after coming out of the Brothel House. I want to see-see the market and enjoy it. I can-cannot take Father with me," she stuttered. "That's why I asked you," she gulped at the same time.
"Fine. I will accompany you," Huo Jin replied. Yin Na smiled brightly and thanked him for going with her.
"Hmm. Did you have dinner?" Huo Jin asked her.
Yin Na nodded her head. "Today's dinner is delicious. You will enjoy it. Have a good night," Yin Na said and turned to leave. Huo Jin found that Yin Na was too excited about the festival. But then, he thought that might be because she never got to enjoy such festivals.
Yin Na stopped outside her room and was panting. "Miss, are you fine?" The servant asked her. Yin Na nodded her head and went inside her room. She quickly went to the dressing room and checked the dress which she ordered for her.
She opened the drawer and checked the matching hairpin with it. She even looked at the jade rings which could fit perfectly with her dress. "I need to confess my feelings to Huo Jin tomorrow. I know that he still loves the late Princess but she never loved him back. I have a chance and I shall not waste it," Yin Na told herself as she looked at herself in the mirror. She touched her cheeks and found a pimple on her right one.
Quickly she went close to the mirror and widened her eyes. "Why does this have to appear today?" She complained. "Huo Jin will not notice it," she murmured and crimped her dress.. She put it on the table and went to the bedroom.
