Chapter 742: Becoming her Husband

Huo Jin settled on the chair and looked at the book that Wang Fuxing had put on the table.

"It is a book very dear to me. My Master, who trained me, handed me this. He told me that the philosophy written by the great scholar will guide me throughout my life. It indeed has guided me, Huo Jin." Wang Fuxing, after seeing the curiosity of Huo Jin, told him.

"You can read it in your free time," Wang Fuxing said and forwarded the book to him.

"It is of Father. How can I—"

Wang Fuxing interrupted him in the middle. "I have read it numerous times and every line of this book is now in my blood," he asserted.

Huo Jin took it from him and thanked him.

"How are you feeling?" Wang Fuxing asked.

"Better than earlier, Father," Huo Jin answered.

"That's great," Wang Fuxing said and called for a servant. "Bring the tea for us," he ordered the servant, who bowed and walked out.

"I heard that Father will not look for any more proposals for Yin Na," Huo Jin stated.

The servant brought the tea for them and served the two. Wang Fuxing drank the tea first, and after him, Huo Jin drank the tea.

"Are you not happy?" Wang Fuxing asked with a slight grin on his lips.

Huo Jin arched his brow up and then lowered his eyes.

"She loves you dearly. It will not be good if I hurt her heart," Wang Fuxing pronounced. "You also care for her, so I feel that I should not look for any more proposals for my daughter," he said with a smile.

Huo Jin lifted his eyes and opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out of his mouth.

"Yin Na looked after you the entire day and night. She did not drink a single drop of water as she was worried about you. I do not think you can find such a lovely woman for you. You wanted to be loved, to be cared for. Yin Na will surely be a great wife to you. Can you not accept my daughter?" Wang Fuxing asked Huo Jin, who realized that his father asked his hand for Yin Na.

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Fuxing asked when Huo Jin did not respond.

"Nothing, Father. I surely look forward to becoming her husband." Huo Jin's reply astonished Wang Fuxing.

"Yes, Father. I understand her devotion to me. I do not want to hurt anymore. However, I want to take the relationship ahead my way. What I mean is, I will not confess to her. I want to tease her a little." Huo Jin finally confessed what he had in his mind. He cou

ld not hide this with his father, the one who allowed him in this family. He did not want to hurt him either by lying to him.

Wang Fuxing started to laugh upon hearing Huo Jin's words. "It is good to tease the person whom you love. The love grows stronger," stated Wang Fuxing.

Huo Jin hummed and smiled. "I want to pursue her. I think she is my happiness," Huo Jin affirmed with a smile.

After finishing the tea, Huo Jin took his leave and thanked Wang Fuxing for conversing with him.

He descended the stairs and saw Yin Na, who was smiling at him.

"Weren't you with Sister Bai Yaling?" Huo Jin asked and started to walk ahead.

"I was, but then Sister Bai wanted to take a nap," Yin Na answered and caught his steps.

"What did you say to Father? You were inside for a long time," Yin Na stated and looked at the book in his hand.

"What is this?" Yin Na queried him.

"Father gave me to read it. It is written by a great scholar and philosopher," Huo Jin replied.

"I also want to learn how to read and write," Yin Na expressed her desire. "Can you teach me?" She asked and took it as an opportunity to be close to him.

"You wanted to learn archery too, but look at what you are doing," Huo Jin remarked.

"How can I continue when you are not recovered," Yin Na queried him, keeping a smile on her face. "I think I was enthusiastic earlier to learn it but not anymore," she accepted the truth.

"Didn't you want to protect your future husband just the way the Empress saved the Emperor?" Huo Jin reminded her.

"My future husband doesn't want to teach me," Yin Na replied.

Huo Jin halted and so did Yin Na. They both peered into each other's eyes.

"What?" Yin Na wiggled her eyebrows. "It's the truth. I asked him in the morning, but he refused," she stated.

Huo Jin resumed the walk while Yin Na followed him.

"Huo Jin, let's sit by the lakeside, on the pavilion," Yin Na stated. "You can read the book there and also can narrate to me what the scholar has written inside it," she suggested to him.

"I want to go out," Huo Jin said.

"What?... Why?... You have still not recovered and what if you get attacked by someone?" Yin Na asked.

"Do you want to accompany me?" Huo Jin's request surprised her. She was not able to understand what to say and

what not to. "I will ask someone el—"

"NO!"

Yin Na loudly said. "I will accompany you. Why will you take anyone else when I am here? Wait! I will tell them to prepare the carriage," Yin Na said and lifted her skirt a little to go ahead when Huo Jin stopped her.

"We are not going to the market, so you do not need to ask anyone to prepare the carriage. The place where I want to go is by foot and is nearby," said Huo Jin. "It is a good place to calm your mind and channelize your thoughts in one place," he added with a warm smile.

Yin Na quickly looped her arm around his arm, startling him. "Let's go," she said with excitement.
