Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Yin Na also lowered her eyes as her assumptions again went wrong. But she was happy to hear his compliments.

Huo Jin kept looking at her and lifted his left hand. Yin Na tilted her head when she felt his fingers on the loose tendrils of her hair. He tucked them behind her ear.

He put his hand down and looked towards the waterfall. His eyes closed and said, "The splashing sound of water hitting the rocks is like a song, a rhythm."

Yin Na\'s eyes fell on his lips and then on his face. He indeed had a charming face. She leaned toward him to kiss him when Huo Jin opened his eyes. She gaped at him and parted her lips to speak.

"I-I—" she found herself stuttering. Averting her gaze from him, she squeezed her eyes tightly. \'Yin Na, you cannot do that every time,\' she told herself and slapped the middle of her forehead.

"The waterfall is beautiful. I want to go close to it." Yin Na changed the topic and got ready to stand up when Huo Jin grasped her wrist. She glanced at him with an inquisitive expression.

"Don\'t go alone. My wound isn\'t healed yet, so I cannot accompany you either." Huo Jin advised her not to go without him. Yin Na nodded her head.

The awkward silence between them started to make Yin Na nervous. She found Huo Jin was staring at her face, so she asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No," Huo Jin replied.

"Then, why are you st-staring at my face?" She arched her brow up.

"You can steal the glances of me, and I cannot even look at you!" He raised his eyebrow with inquisitiveness.

"I never stole glances at you. Why would I do that?" Yin Na chuckled and found herself clutching her dress tightly.

"I have seen that many times," Huo Jin replied. "It is understandable to steal the glances of the man whom you love," he stated with a smile. "You are turning to a stalker, Yin Na," he stated.

"No. I never stalked you," she swore, pinching the skin of her neck a little.

"You should not lie," Huo Jin stated.

"I am not lying. Indeed, I stole glances at you, but I never stalked you," Yin Na ended up admitting and then tightly pressed her lips together.

"It\'s so easy to make you confess," Huo Jin stated.

"You put pressure on me," Yin Na said and pouted her lips.

"Why do you trust me? You don\'t believe in the intentions of other men. But you accompanied me to this isolated place," he stated. This time his tone turned serious.

"What if something wrong happens?" Huo Jin inquired her.

Yin Na knitted her brows in bewilderment. "What wrong could happen?" She asked.

"Between a man and a woman anything can happen when they are alone," Huo Jin answered.

Yin Na gulped. Though she trusted him, his words were indeed intimidating to her. He shouldn\'t be talking this way. She felt her hand over hers and she looked down, before gazing back into his eyes.

"Yin Na, you should not trust even me," Huo Jin said.

"Why?" She asked with a confused look. "You are scaring me," she said.

"Am I?" He asked.

"Hmm."

Huo Jin moved his hand back. "Forgive me. I only wanted you to stay alert all the time," he asserted.

"But around you, I don\'t think I can remain alert. Though, your earlier words confused and intimidated me a little," Yin Na stated.

Huo Jin smiled and caressed her head. "I wanted to see how much you trust me," he stated.

"Let\'s go back. Father might get worried," Yin Na said and stood up. She helped Huo Jin as well and the two climbed down that giant rock.

Yin Na found that Huo Jin liked that place a lot, so she thought to make a memory with him.

"Huo Jin," she called out his name.

"Hmm?" He turned to her, waiting for her answer.

Yin Na brought her hands together, near her chest, and tiptoed to kiss his lips. Huo Jin\'s eyes slightly grew big and his fingers curled up.

She landed her feet on the ground and lowered her eyes. "I thought we must make a memory here," she said in a low voice. She stepped forward to walk past him when Huo Jin held her wrist.

She looked down and then at him.

"This is what I meant earlier," he said and drew her closer to him.

"Huh?"

His left hand securely wrapped around her waist while his right hand was on her left neck. She widened her eyes when Huo Jin kissed her. This time not on the cheek but lips.

Sparks traveled down her spine the moment he moved his lips on hers. She closed her eyes and reciprocated to him.

Her hands gradually moved up from his arms to his shoulders. Her fingers pressed against the fabric of Huo Jin\'s robes and soon her hands locked behind his neck.

It appeared that time had stopped for them and the urge for oxygen made them withdraw from the kiss. They both gasped for air, and slowly Yin Na moved her hands down.

She had her real kiss with him. The kiss for which she waited for a long time. So, finally, he had accepted her feelings. Finally, she was able to win his heart, and it brought a smile to her red lips.
