Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 717: Not Capable Enough

Chapter 717: Not Capable Enough

Huo Jin did not respond to Yin Na's compliment and went inside the kitchen. Yin Na walked behind him and saw him ordering the chefs about the lunch meal. Yin Na wondered how Huo Jin knew so much about the food that was taken in pregnancy. It fluttered her heart.

'He will not let me become his wife,' She thought and got upset.

Huo Jin gazed at Yin Na, who looked dejected. He thought to ask her but then his mind told him that he should not be bothered about her anymore.

He left the kitchen when Yin Na followed him up. "You did not answer me. You were teaching me that rare technique for archery, weren't you? I told Xu Wenhai that I would learn from you only. Even he has agreed to me. Since you already--" she stopped as Huo Jin halted at his place.

He turned to her and said, "I will not teach you. You are not capable enough to learn it. Also, you should stay away from me."

Yin Na was perplexed upon hearing his words. "Away from you? But, why?" She frowned.

"You will marry Xu Wenhai soon. It is not good for you to roam around me," Huo Jin a.s.serted and curled his fingers.

"My marriage is not decided with him," Yin Na affirmed. "Also, don't think too highly of yourself. Why would I roam around you?" She muttered.

"You never talked this way with me," she concluded. "Are you jealous of me being close with Xu Wenhai?" Yin Na earlier noticed that Huo Jin behaved oddly around Xu Wenhai. He hardly acted that way, so it landed her to the conclusion that Huo Jin was jealous to see her with another man.

"No," Huo Jin replied right away. "I just do not like it. I do not like you, so there is no point in being jealous. Also, jealousy exists when your rival is at a level higher than you and you think you can never be at that level," he a.s.serted and walked away.

Yin Na did not follow him this time. She did not want to believe this thought that was lingering in her mind for a long time.

"No. This cannot be true. He still does not see me as a woman. At this rate, I will be married off," she murmured.

Huo Jin stopped by the courtyard and recalled the previous day when Xu Wenhai caught Yin Na from falling. "Why did it have to happen in front of me?" He mumbled.

"What happened in front of you, Brother Huo?" He heard a familiar voice and turned to look.

"Sister Bai," Huo Jin found her in the courtyard accompanied by a few servants. "Ahh, nothing," Huo Jin did not seem appropriate to tell Bai Yaling. &

"Where are you heading to? General w.a.n.g is still in the Palace," Huo Jin informed her.

"I toured around the residence once again so that I will not forget the routes," Bai Yaling answered.

Huo Jin nodded his head. "The lunch will be ready soon, Sister Bai. If General w.a.n.g does not come for lunch then you need to eat without waiting for him," Huo Jin a.s.serted.

"Brother Huo seems like a real big brother to me now," Bai Yaling remarked and pa.s.sed a tiny smile to him.

Huo Jin was never called a brother by any woman. He felt strange yet happy. "Sister Bai can consider me as her real brother if she wants," Huo Jin stated.

Bai Yaling thanked him. "I will be glad," she said.

"Brother Huo, from the Palace a few things have been sent. Could you please come with me? I need your help," Bai Yaling requested.

"Sure, Sister Bai," Huo Jin said and left with her.

In the room, Huo Jin saw the large wooden boxes. A few servants were unpacking the stuff. Upon seeing Bai Yaling and Huo Jin, they left the work in the middle and bowed before them.

Bai Yaling walked in and sat down on the chaise at the front while her servants stood behind her. Bai Yaling glanced at Lady Dai, who handed her the new silk robes.

"Brother Huo, this is for you," Bai Yaling said while gazing at Huo Jin. "It is a gift from my family," she proclaimed.

Huo Jin stepped forward and thanked her.

"Her Majesty herself selected the clothes for everyone in the family. There are a few more, but this one is a special one," Bai Yaling said with a smile.

Huo Jin looked at the fine silk Hanfu dress in his hand as he moved his hand over it. "I am not worthy to wear such expensive clothes," Huo Jin said out of the blue which puzzled Bai Yaling.

"Why, Brother Huo?" She asked curiously.

Huo Jin didn't reply to her and again thanked her for the gift.

"Brother Huo, the quality does not decide whether a person is worthy or not," Bai Yaling p.r.o.nounced. "Do not think that your value is lesser than any of us," she made him understand.

Huo Jin could not agree with her. However, he could not explain to her what he was in reality! Among the officials, his image was not good. That he realized after meeting Xu Wenhai, whose harsh comments sometimes bothered him.

"Sister Bai, I will unpack the stuff and help the

m," he a.s.serted and started to help the servants.

"I will give the dresses to Sister Yin Na later," Bai Yaling said.

"Yin Na has returned," Huo Jin informed her.

"This early?" Bai Yaling's eyes turned bigger.

"Yes. She must be in her room," Huo Jin answered and asked her if he should call her.

"Brother Huo does not need to trouble himself. I will give it to her later. She might be resting," Bai Yaling stated.

"It is not a problem for me, Sister Bai. Yin Na usually is idle at this hour," Huo Jin a.s.serted. "I will bring her here," he said and walked out of the room.
