Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 212

Ye Mu said, “Tianshou Temple is full today! I originally planned on squeezing in with the Silent Master because he had a large courtyard. But the Silent Master rejected my request, so I had no choice but to come back.”

Wen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, he didn’t agree on sharing a room with you.”

“What?”

“No, I didn’t say anything.” Wen Feng quickly said, “Miss, you should return to your chambers and rest for the night. Your Majesty is in a bad mood right now, so it’s best if you don’t disturb him.”

Ye Mu raised her head and looked into the palace where Mo Linyuan was residing. All the windows and doors to the palace were closed, so she couldn’t see anything.

“Why is he in a bad mood?”

Wen Feng glanced at her, wasn’t it all because of you?! You told us that you are merely getting your injury treated, so why did you have to attend the temple fair with the monk? Not only did the two of you play together, but the two of you looked very happy spending time with each other! In addition to that, you have been avoiding His Majesty! You ignored HIs Majesty and played around with a monk! Do you think it’s possible for His Majesty not to be mad?

Of course, Wen Feng didn’t dare to say all of that to her. He shook his head and said, “It’s best if you don’t bother him for now.”

Wen Feng was the second person who told her not to disturb the emperor today, so she could already guess that Mo Linyuan was angry because of her.

She pondered over it and headed straight into the palace despite Wen Feng’s warnings.

The entire hall was empty because everyone was kneeling outside. Even so, the lights in the palace hall were brightly lit. Mo Linyuan’s study was at the end of the hall.

Ye Mu cautiously opened the door and saw that Mo Linyuan was writing something at his desk. He didn’t raise his head when she opened the door.

His hair wasn’t tied up, so his long black hair spilled down from his head, making him appear more aloof than usual. His eyebrows were tightly knit together, making it obvious that he was worried about something. His phoenix eyes were downcast, and his long eyelashes looked like two small brushes in the candlelight. His thin lips were pressed together tightly. He was only wearing a thin layer of clothing with a yellow dragon robe draped over his shoulder.

Ye Mu had been avoiding him before because she felt uncomfortable around him after his confession. But after playing today, she felt much better. She entered the room because she believed that there was no need to continue avoiding him anymore. After all, they had been friends for many years. Mo Linyuan wouldn’t do anything inappropriate to her, right?

With that mind, she quietly entered his study like a little thief.

“You remember that this is your home?”

She could detect that anger in his voice. Mo Linyuan did not look up at her, but Ye Mu knew that his entire focus was on her right now.

Ye Mu straightened her back and smiled, “Of course I will return. Your Majesty, why aren’t you resting?”

Mo Linyuan finally raised his head and looked at her.

“Did you have fun today?

Although he was smiling, Ye Mu knew that his smile was not sincere.

“Are you tired after playing for an entire day?”

Although his voice was very gentle, Ye Mu could feel the threatening tone underneath his gentle voice. He looked at her like he was looking at a prey; goosebumps rose on her arms.

She casually approached him, pretending as if nothing was wrong. Although the pressure around them would increase with every step she took, she still had a relaxed expression on her face. She acted as if she couldn’t detect any danger at all.

“I’m a little tired from playing all day today. I planned on returning tomorrow, but all the rooms in Tianshou Temple were occupied, so I had to return.”

Mo Linyuan was surprised by how honest she was with him. He stopped writing and asked her another question.

“Did you have fun today?”

Ye Mu stood beside him and said, “I had fun today! But I do have some regrets!”

“What kind of regret?”

Ye Mu stretched her hand and placed a protection amulet on his desk. She said in a soft voice, “The temple fair today was very lively. I went with the Silent Master and we strolled around the fair. But I feel somewhat regrettable because I realized that we haven’t gone out together for a long time.”

Mo Linyuan was taken aback for a moment while he stared at the protection amulet in front of him. “Is this for me?”
