Finally Charming Her (2)
Ye Mu panicked and fled! The air in the palace hallways was suffocating. She just wanted to wash away her chaotic brain and calm down!
The City Boundary Map; it was the City Boundary Map! Obtaining the hidden treasures of the empires would make them the strongest country. If he had wanted it, he would have been able to create an empire, unite the Central Plains, and become the ruling sovereign for all eternity!
Yet he didn’t care about any of that at all. Even for him, it would have been a tremendous advantage: not only did someone plan to give him a woman, gifts, and treasures… but he didn’t accept any of it because of her.
Sure enough, who would expect a man who refused temptations to become even more charming? Why did she have the sudden urge to rush in and kiss him?!
Seeing how Ye Mu had left, Mo Linyuan was a bit disappointed. He still had a lot he wanted to say… but on the bright side, if the little gal wanted to escape, it could only mean that what he had already said had a strong impact on her!
Mo Linyuan was accustomed to planning and never missed an opportunity when he saw one. Once Ye Mu had left, he didn’t want to speak anymore. He just simply said he would let the other person reflect on exchanging the City Boundary Map for something else.
The Zhao Country’s minister retreated quietly. Meanwhile all of the Mo Country’s chancellors were also thinking back to what he had said…
Are all of their wifes and concubines… truly sad that they had married many spouses?
But, so what if they were sad? Isn’t it considered one of the greatest powers of men to have women fighting over them?
They truly couldn’t comprehend how His Majesty could come up with such an exotic idea.

Ye Mu was lying on the bed, covering her head with a pillow.
“Why would he say that in front of so many people who wouldn’t understand. And what’s so great about it, it’s more embarrassing! He couldn’t have discovered my presence then right…?”
Ye Mu rejected that possibility, “There’s no way. My internal power is too great, how could my presence be discovered? Ugh, this is so frustrating!”
Her face held a permanent blush on it. Being confessed to in front of everyone had really stimulated her tiny innocent heart!
The moment Mo Linyuan returned, he saw Ye Mu’s buried position.
He smiled smugly. He dismissed the other servants before murmuring warmly, “What happened to our little Mu’er? Could it be that our kiss in the washing room has made you really uncomfortable?”
Ye Mu jumped out of the blanket and angrily retorted, “How did you not make any sound at all when you walked in?!”
Mo Linyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, “I was walking very loudly but… I’m afraid someone’s loud heartbeat made it so that she cannot hear anything else probably?”
Now, her face and neck turned red. Mo Linyuan thought that most likely even her skin under her clothes were also red.
Mo Linyuan had really hit the target with his deductions. Right then, Ye Mu didn’t know how to confront him and simply sat motionlessly on the bed.
“W-What happened to y-your princess then?” she stuttered. Although she knew Mo Linyuan couldn’t have changed his mind during the timeframe of her absence, she wanted to hear him say it directly to her.
Mo Linyuan walked over and cupped her face, “My princess? But… wouldn’t my princess be you…?”
How shameless! He is still trying to charm me!
Ye Mu moved away from his hand, “Don’t avoid the subject!”
Mo Linyuan’s phoenix eyes blinked before he replied laughingly, “Of course I had to refuse the agreement. I already have my own little jar of vinegar* with me. Although she is unaware of it yet, I cannot hurt her in that way.”
(T/N*: vinegar is another way of calling someone jealous.)
Who was he calling a jar of vinegar! Ye Mu was truly irritated!
