Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

What’s the Real Truth? (2)

Mo Linyuan seemed to have finally realized something was up. However, his smile remained unchanged as he sat in front of the table. With one hand resting on his jaw, he tilted his head as he questioned her.

Ye Mu felt she should tell him… but also felt that she shouldn’t tell him… in the end, she mumbled,

“Just know that, the moment you find the treasure, the truth will be revealed!”

Although she felt that Mo Linyuan was a genuinely good person in her heart, she was always only concerned about this extremely important progress in the historical story. As a result, she could only internally apologize for her hesitation!

Having realized this, she felt a little uncomfortable. She glanced over at Mo Linyuan with guilt visible as their eyes met.

Feeling Ye Mu’s guilt, his heart twisted. When did Mo Linyuan become so perceptive? His smile widened as he beckoned her over with his hand.

“Come here.”

Ye Mu obediently shuffled over. Once she entered Mo Linyuan’s embrace, he finally let out a content sigh. His breath brushed her neck.

“Little Mu’er, do you know why I have been fighting so desperately these past few years?”

In recent years, Mo Linyuan has truly been working incredibly hard. Ye Mu calculated the time period. Based on history, he should still be concealing his strength and keeping a low profile at this time. But right now, he was taking risks and showing off his abilities openly.

She deduced that it probably had something to do with her appearance which caused this progression in history.

Ye Mu pointed at herself, “Is it because of me?”

“Yes.” Mo Linyuan’s exquisite face softened, as he blissfully regarded her, “I did it for you. I’m glad this little girl still has some conscience to know that I’m doing this for her.”

Hearing him say that, she couldn’t help but stared blankly at him.

Mo Linyuan, with a warm smile and earnest eyes, murmured, “Because I want to be able to protect you… take care of you… I want you to be carefree without worries for the rest of your life. Can you understand where my feelings are coming from?”

As Ye Mu listened intently, she became uneasy as she glanced up at him. She bit her lip, not knowing what to say…

But it would appear Mo Linyuan didn’t intend to let her speak.

“Unknowingly, I conceived the idea of spoiling you… to continuously pamper you for a lifetime. A lifetime is truly a long time, but even when I die and need to be *buried with a partner, I want to be buried together with you… only you.”

(*The original 合葬, is the concept of a husband and wife being buried together after death. Meaning, even to death he doesn’t want to part with her.)

Hearing his words, Ye Mu felt even more culpable. On one hand, she had the dedicated and loving Mo Linyuan… On the other hand, she had her dad and family to return to! Her heart was utterly tangled that she couldn’t think or speak at the moment. Mo Linyuan would be hurt if he knew, but she also felt she should tell him the real truth because she couldn’t let him continue falling any deeper in love with her!

A while later, Ye Mu finally made up her mind! She felt that, for the sake of obtaining the city boundary map, she needed to tell Mo Linyuan because he had a right to know!

Just as she was about to summon her courage to speak, abruptly, someone rushed in to report pertinent information. The servant shouted across the door!

“Your Majesty, not good! The Grand Tutor has come across an ambush, this is a matter of life and death!”

Hearing this, Ye Mu immediately jumped out of Mo Linyuan’s arms!

“What? Something happened to the Grand Tutor?!” He was Mo Linyuan’s maternal grandfather, how could something happen to him?

Who dared to make a move against him?

Mo Linyuan frowned in displeasure. Just a little more and he would have coaxed little Mu’er to tell him the real truth! She was just about to say it! This servant entered way too soon!

But this person did bring pertinent news… Mo Linyuan couldn’t delay any longer and could only go take care of this in-person.

“Little Mu’er, you must stay in the imperial palace. You’ve already done enough these past few days. You don’t need to leave the palace for this issue. I suspect, Empress Dowager is currently targeting you!”

Ye Mu nodded. She had already trespassed in Empress Dowager’s territory with guards, which was a big offense. Zhao Yiqin is also not someone who would take the offense lightly. Without a doubt, she hated Ye Mu’s guts. This would most likely be a scheme planned for Ye Mu.
