Chapter 682 - Don't Get Jealous Later

w.a.n.g Hao met Bai Yaling in her chamber and informed her about their marriage.

"The Royal Astrologer said that the upcoming weekdays are auspicious. We can pick any day for the marriage," w.a.n.g Hao informed her with excitement.

Court Lady Dai smiled upon hearing that and congratulated them for this. w.a.n.g Hao asked her if they could get some privacy, so she left the chamber along with the other maidservants.

w.a.n.g Hao made Bai Yaling sit on the chaise first and then sat beside her. "When do you want to marry me? Select a day," he told her.

"Why doesn't General w.a.n.g discuss this with his family?" She asked him.

"I am doing that," w.a.n.g Hao answered. Bai Yaling tilted her head to gaze at him.

"You are also a part of my family. Also, you accepted me, therefore, you should choose the date. I will be glad," w.a.n.g Hao placed his hand over hers.

"General w.a.n.g, I want your father to choose the day. He is the elder among us," Bai Yaling expressed her desire.

w.a.n.g Hao could not refuse her request and agreed to it. "Fine. I will ask Father to choose a day for our wedding. Also, I will send a message regarding our marriage to your father. They must know about it," w.a.n.g Hao informed her.

"Thank you, General w.a.n.g, for being considerate to my family as well. I truly appreciate this," Bai Yaling said.

"You are making me feel embarra.s.sed. Also, don't call me General w.a.n.g. I am the General for the Kingdom, but for you, I should be w.a.n.g Hao," He explained to her.

"What about 'husband?' I will address you as Husband a more affectionate way for you. I cannot take your name. It is against the teachings I have received," Bai Yaling said politely.

w.a.n.g Hao was extremely happy to hear that. "Fine. Call me Husband after the marriage," w.a.n.g Hao acknowledged in another request.

He intertwined their fingers, not leaving her gaze.

"Why is General w.a.n.g looking at me this way?" Bai Yaling asked him.

"I want to look at you," w.a.n.g Hao stated.

Bai Yaling ended up chuckling. "Does General w.a.n.g not want to have his lunch? It is almost lunch hour," she said.

"Is it?" He asked.

Bai Yaling hummed.

w.a.n.g Hao lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. "I will tell you about the marriage day as soon as possible," w.a.n.g Hao told her.

Bai Yaling nodded when w.a.n.g Hao kissed her lips. He slowly moved his lips over hers, waiting for her to respond. Bai Yaling's heart thundered against her chest as she tightly shut her eyes. She reciprocated his kiss. w.a.n.g Hao kept it short and the two withdrew back.

They both peered into each other's eyes and smiled. "If the Royal Astrologer had given today's date, then I would have married you now. I cannot wait to marry you and live with you," w.a.n.g Hao a.s.serted.

"Me too," Bai Yaling answered.

w.a.n.g Hao stood up from the chaise. "Have your lunch and take care of yourself and the child too. I will come to you soon," w.a.n.g Hao a.s.sured her and left the chamber.

Bai Yaling placed her fingers over her lips and smiled. She rested her palm near her navel region and said, "Everything will be fine and will be good from now on."

Huo Jin recalled the words of w.a.n.g Hao, but now the situation was not in his favor that he could even consider looking at Yin Na as a woman.

Yin Na walked to him. "Huo Jin, I cannot disagree with Father. He did so much for me. However, if you will ask Father--" She could not complete her words as Huo Jin interrupted her.

He placed his hands on her shoulder and said, "Yin Na, I respect you a lot. Don't look for my love. I do not deserve you. I have heard about Master Xu Niang's son. Meet him tomorrow," Huo Jin politely refused her feelings.

Yin Na's eyes turned misty, and she yanked his hands from her shoulders. "Don't get jealous later because I will not come to you," Yin Na said annoyingly and left the chamber. Huo Jin turned and watched her walk away.

"Why does she even love me?" Huo Jin muttered and walked out of the chamber.

He came to the main courtyard and saw w.a.n.g f.u.xing had come inside. He bowed before him and peered at him.

"Since you did not accept her feelings, I decided to arrange a marriage for Yin Na," w.a.n.g f.u.xing stated.

"Father did great," Huo Jin replied and smiled.

"Father! Huo Jin!" They both looked at the door where w.a.n.g Hao was standing with a broad smile on his lips. He came towards them and tightly hugged his father.

"Father, Bai Yaling and I will get married soon," he said, carrying tears of happiness in his eyes.

w.a.n.g f.u.xing started to laugh upon hearing his son while Huo Jin also got happy for w.a.n.g Hao.

He pulled away and told them everything the Royal Astrologer had told. "Father, Bai Yaling wants you to select the day for our marriage," w.a.n.g Hao stated.

"Me? Ahh. What about the very first day of the told week," w.a.n.g f.u.xing replied without any delay.

"Yes, Father. There are a lot of things to prepare. I need to select our wedding dresses too and even the guests have to be invited," w.a.n.g Hao said with excitement. "Where is Yin Na? She should know this," w.a.n.g Hao asked them.

"She is in her room," Huo Jin told w.a.n.g Hao.

"I will tell her. Father, I will come to your room with her," w.a.n.g Hao stated and walked away.

"I never saw him this happy," w.a.n.g f.u.xing a.s.serted and glanced at Huo Jin. "Love conquers everything," he stated.

"Huo Jin, call the chief tailor from the market. We need to give orders for their wedding dress," w.a.n.g f.u.xing commanded Huo Jin, who bowed and left the courtyard.

"Why does this child never complain? I thought Yin Na's marriage will force him to open his heart for Yin Na," w.a.n.g f.u.xing murmured and sighed.
