Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Why Are You Refusing? (1)

When Mo Linyuan finally got up and left, Ye Mu remained muddled in the water.

She rubbed her round baby cheeks vigorously, her heart beating frantically! What should she do?! Her heart is beating so uncontrollably! Did she already forget all of her previous training to resist his charms? Why was she so frazzled by one kiss?!

However, the moment she thought of the Zhao Country sending someone else for him to kiss instead… and knowing his curious personality… Ye Mu quickly awoke from her daze and headed to the palace halls. She then hid behind the interiors of the Emperor’s entrance to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Her presence inside the imperial palace was unimpeded due to the fact that everyone knew Ye Mu was the Emperor’s most beloved heart meat*. In fact, she was his heart meat* that he had left uneaten… who would dare stop her?

(*T/N: Directly translates to a piece of heart meat, but could also mean beloved/darling.)

It was to the point where people made conjectures that His Majesty, in recent years, would employ cruel and bloody methods to eliminate all of Qing Chao in order to protect her. These rumors continued to circulate even now.

Ye Mu peeked from behind the door, holding her breath in order to further conceal her presence. Silently, she gazed into the room.

On the tall platform, Mo Linyuan’s slender yet imposing figure could be seen by all throughout the room. His golden dragon robe trailed behind him, further emphasizing his dominance.

At this moment, he was very neatly presented. Regardless of the angle, his handsome face still awed all of those who saw him. With a smile, he began speaking,

“I am aware that marriage is indeed a great way to unite two countries. Unfortunately, I do not have any other brothers who can undertake such a huge responsibility. Here in the Mo Country, I am living the solitary path. I can’t possibly live up to the other ruler’s expectations…”

Hearing Mo Linyuan’s words, the Zhao County’s minister maintained his expression. This news was no surprise to him.

The middle-aged man Zhao Country’s minister was among the audience. He listened intently, and then laughingly replied, “Your Majesty, you have plenty of opportunities. Have you forgotten that your harem is empty!”

As he said this, he bowed before presenting a thick scroll, “This foreign minister knows that the Mo Country is truly prosperous. But, before Your Majesty makes any decision, it would be best you read the Princess’s list of dowry gifts.”

Mo Linyuan subtly raised his eyebrow. Soon after, the scroll was delivered into Mo Linyuan’s hand.

When Ye Mu heard Mo Linyuan’s refusal, she was happy. But this time, seeing how prepared the other party was… she couldn’t help but feel anxious. What could be in the scroll that was worth considering about?

While Mo Linyuan read the scroll, Ye Mu observed the group visiting from the Zhao Country. Although they all lowered their heads, one of them was secretly peeking up… He was fairly petite, and had red lips and white teeth. Right then, Ye Mu realized that it was really the princess, who was Mo Linyuan’s prospective future kissing partner!

She actually came to visit as well!

Ye Mu followed the princess’s line of sight and realized she was staring at Mo Linyuan. He was currently supporting his face with one hand while holding the scroll in the other. He emanated an air of elegance and nobility. In the presence of Mo Linyuan, the nearby attendants, all of whom would typically be considered handsome, were completely overpowered by his profound and distinguished bearing.

“Hmph! He’s like a flower attracting all the bees and butterflies!” Ye Mu’s fingers tightly gripped the edge of the doorway as she mumbled to herself.

He said he didn’t want a princess, yet he is so gorgeous and polite, just who exactly is he trying to seduce! Hmph!

After a long time, Mo Linyuan finally let out a chuckle,

“Interesting, the City Boundary Map? The Zhao Country actually possesses it?”
