Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Xu Wenhai did not want to ruin their moments because of Huo Jin, so he told Yin Na to not talk about him anymore.

"But I want to talk to you about Huo Jin. He did not commit any crimes or sins. Also, I am well aware of his life. It is so easy for people to say that he made mistakes but no one tries to see what Huo Jin is like. He is a gem among men and no one could ever compete with him," Yin Na proclaimed.

She had lost control over her emotions. Her heart ached when she found what the majority of the so-called noble class think of Huo Jin.

"Yin Na, he is not a gem. He betrayed his master to live," Xu Wenhai affirmed. He lowered his voice as the people on the bridge looked at them. He did not want to create any scene, so held the hands of Yin Na, when she yanked them away.

"I will not marry you, Xu Wenhai." Yin Na pronounced and pulled the hairpin off her hair bun which Xu Wenhai's mother had given him. She handed it to him. The dumpling stick in her hand fell. Xu Wenhai was shocked to get this reaction from Yin Na.

"Yin Na," Xu Wenhai whispered her name.

"Huo Jin is a part of the Wang Family. Since you consider this noble status so high, then I must remind you that the Wang Family has the highest status among nobles. If you cannot give respect to a person, who is from my family, then I am sure, after marriage, you will never respect me. Let's end it here," Yin Na said loudly.

She had forgotten that so many eyes were on them.

"Are you end-ending it because of a mere--" Before Xu Wenhai could complete his words, Yin Na slapped him hard in front of everyone.

"I told you to be respectful," she glared at him. "There is no use of your literacy when your mind is filled with dirt. No one has the right to make a decision on Huo Jin's life. If you have a problem with it, then raise it in court!" Yin Na challenged him.

The people started to gossip as they gathered on the bridge.

Xu Wenhai felt ashamed when a few of his fellows came on the bridge upon hearing the commotion.

One among them recognized Yin Na and then looked at Xu Wenhai. "Minister Xu, you are marrying her!" Liang Wu said with a startled look.

Xu Wenhai tilted his head to look at them.

"Do you know this young lady?" another one asked him.

"Yes, she used to be in the Brothel house. It is unbelievable that she is the renowned sister of General Wang," Liang Wu said and gazed at Xu Wenhai, who did not look in a good state.

Yin Na's eyes filled with tears as she heard the people's whispers.

"Xu Wenhai, what is wrong with you? You told us that you love a woman… you should have said that it's an entertainer," Liang Wu remarked while grinning at Yin Na.

"Shut up, Liang Wu. Give her respect," Xu Wenhai asserted.

"She has served me once in the Brothel house… only tea," Liang Wu said. Yin Na turned to leave when the two other young nobles blocked her way.

Yin Na lowered her eyes and twiddled with her fingers.

Xu Wenhai told them to leave but they did not.

Liang Wu came in front of Yin Na and bowed his head slightly. "What shall I address you– a Young Miss or an Entertainer?" He grinned when Xu Wenhai shouted at him.

"Be in your limits, Liang Wu," Xu Wenhai threatened him.

"Forgive me, Xu Wenhai, but this is strange. You are marrying an Entertainer who slept with many men in the Brothel house," Liang Wu pronounced in front of everyone.

Xu Wenhai stepped forward to protect Yin Na, but then he heard Liang Wu's scream. In a blink of an eye, he was lying on the bridge's floor while his forehead was bleeding.

Yin Na lifted her head to see and found Huo Jin in front of her.

Liang Wu placed his hand on his forehead and saw the blood oozing out from it. He saw two more pebbles in Huo Jin's head and understood that he hit his forehead with it.

Huo Jin pulled him up by grabbing his robes from the shoulder and throwing a hard punch at his face. Liang Wu again fell. Huo Jin beat him up to a pulp when Xu Wenhai intervened to stop him.

Huo Jin pushed him away and shouted at him, "that's why you do not deserve to become Yin Na's husband. I let her go alone with you thinking you will take good care of her. I was wrong about you. You do not deserve Yin Na."

Huo Jin looked at Yin Na, who was crying. He grasped her hand and left with her.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Reaching a place isolated from the people, Huo Jin halted. He turned to look at her and cupped her face between his palms. He wiped her tears and caressed her hair.

"Forgive me," Huo Jin sincerely apologized. "I should not have sent you alone," he stated.

Yin Na turned her head away as more tears streamed down her cheeks. Huo Jin stepped forward and hugged her. His hand rested on the back of her head. She started to weep and buried her face in his chest.

"I want to disappear, Huo Jin," she said while sobbing. He did not utter any word, and the two stayed in that position for a while. After he realized that Yin Na had stopped crying, he pulled away and made her look into his eyes.

"I will kill him for you. I will make him disappear. These are the words of Huo Jin," he affirmed while giving a promise to her.

"Even if I have to die, I will not spare him," he announced before her.
