Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Ye Mu frowned slightly and stopped walking when they arrived in front of the huge palace gate. The two of them looked especially small compared to the huge gate. However, Mo Linyuan was born to the royal bloodline. He was born with the ability to produce clouds and rain with the wave of his hand. He was born with the innate ability to change the world.

“From the bottom of your heart, do you really believe that Wen is your biological father?”

Ye Mu asked in a low voice.

Mo Linyuan froze for a moment and the expression on his face turned gloomy.

Ye Mu held his hands and said, “It’s okay, you still have me.”

The gloomy expression on Mo Linyuan’s face began clearing up after he heard her words. He looked at Ye Mu. The long plain white robe that he was wearing was picked up by the wind as it gently flutters in the air. His appearance was picturesque. At this moment, he resembled a celestial being more than an emperor.

“Ye Mu, to be honest, I don’t really care about the blood running in my vein.”

Ye Mu didn’t expect him to be so open-minded, but his open-mindedness might have something to do with the bitter experiences he faced in his childhood.

Mo Linyuan pursed his lips slightly and continued, “I can accept it even if it turns out that I’m not from the royal bloodline. I can also accept Mo Shiwen as my father. I will accept the person who will give me more advantage. But in my heart, I am still me. I do not belong to anyone and I will not be affected by such trivial things.”

He looked at Ye Mu nervously after he revealed what he thought. Even if he didn’t care about those matters, it didn’t mean that Ye Mu would not care about them. He was worried that Ye Mu would think of him as someone ruthless, someone who will abandon everything in order to succeed. Even so, he wanted to tell Ye Mu the truth.

In the power struggle of the royal court, only the strong can survive. He relied on Ye Mu and his own strength to climb on the position he currently had. He had encountered countless obstacles to reach where he was today. He had nothing at all in the beginning. But after he calculated and schemed against other people, he finally managed to become an emperor with power.

He didn’t want to hide his true self in front of her, so he told her the truth. He told her exactly what kind of person he was, and he could only hope that would accept him for who he was.

Ye Mu was originally listening attentively to his explanation and merely smiled after he finished talking. Her hair was combed into two flower buns on her head, and she was currently wearing a pink palace dress. When she smiled, she looked like a blooming flower.

She pulled his hand and tugged him along as they continued to walk, “Okay, let’s eat before we continue talking.”

Mo Linyuan was slightly dissatisfied that he didn’t get a concrete response from Ye Mu. He pulled her to him and stubbornly said, “You haven’t responded to my explanation yet.”

Ye Mu tilted her head and looked back at him with a bright smile on her face, “What’s there to respond to? I think you did a wonderful job; I only blame myself for being too simple-minded in the past.”

It was impossible for a crown prince not to scheme and calculate against his enemies if he wanted to unify the whole world. She had forgotten that a ruler not only needed a very powerful army, but he also needed to be wise and farsighted to be able to form his own nation. Even after the ruler formed his nation, he will continuously be subjected to power struggles against his greedy subjects.

Mo Linyuan’s pale cheeks suddenly turned red.

“Then…” He looked at Ye Mu firmly, “do you hate me for turning into someone like this?”

He was someone who was even willing to use his dead biological mother to his advantage. Most people would avoid him in disgust. Sometimes, even he was disgusted by himself.

Ye Mu never expected Mo Linyuan to be someone who would waste his time on insignificant problems.

She didn’t say anything in response. She merely stood on tiptoe and suddenly kissed the side of his face. The soft touch from her lips made Mo Linyuan freeze in place. He looked at the bright smile on Ye Mu’s face.

“This is okay, right? This will let you know that I don’t hate you! Anyways, why are you stressing yourself over this? I already told you that I will accompany you until you unify the world!”

She felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking because no matter how she listened to her words, it seemed as if she was confessing to him. She turned around and ran up the stairs in embarrassment.

Mo Linyuan was in a daze as he stared at Ye Mu bounce up the stairs. He finally revealed a smile after she disappeared up the stairs.

She was indeed the person he had fallen for. She was uniquely different from everyone else. No wonder he liked her so much.
