Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

leep.”

Mo Linyuan couldn't take it, how could he let her go? In the dark, his eyes faintly shone.
He said in a low voice, “Even though I let you go, you can't sleep.”

“What else can I do?” Ye Mu lazily asked.

Mo Linyuan said, “You have to say loving words to me, like how you did in the treasure place.”

Ye Mu was immediately embarrassed.
That time, she thought Mo Linyuan would die, so she spilled out everything that was in her heart.
They were safe now, how could she say them?

Mo Linyuan saw her play dead, and hmphed with discontent.

“If you don't, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and you will not think about sleeping either.”

Both of them went through life and death this time, he really didn't want to sleep just like that, but they couldn't do anything too intimate, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

Ye Mu touched her own nose.

“But I can't say loving words, I can't say it with the setting right now.”

Mo Linyuan was persistent.
“You have to.”

Ye Mu racked her brain.
In the end, she thought of something and said.

“Okay then, I'll say.” She paused, deciding to look through the loving words in her memory from her past life.

She lightly sighed.
“Actually, liking you is a troublesome thing.”

Mo Linyuan instantly stared at her.
“Why?”

Ye Mu smiled as she moved closer, kissing his lips.
“But, I like trouble.”

In the dark, Mo Linyuan was dazed, and then kissed her back.

“Continue.”

Still want?

Ye Mu quickly racked her brain, and added, “Mm, you're indeed perfect, but you have one weakness.”

Mo Linyuan raised his brows.
“What is it?”

Ye Mu pecked his forehead.
“Me.”

The heat in the air seemed to rise a degree.
Mo Linyuan clearly couldn't bear it, but he felt extremely content in his heart.

“Go on.” He wanted to look into Xiao Mu-er's mind, to see how many more sweet words she had.

Ye Mu suddenly found it easier to say the words.

“I must have eaten too much salt.”

“Why?”

Ye Mu hugged him, contentedly rubbing against him.
“Because the moment I'm unoccupied, I'll think of you.”

Mo Linyuan felt he couldn't listen anymore, as if his heart was incessantly scratched by a small brush.
His body became restless, and so was his heart.

However, he thought of something and his mood suddenly changed.

“Don't tell me, you can speak these loving words because in your world, you were betrothed to someone?”

Ye Mu puffed a laugh.
This person's imagination was too great!

Moreover, in her world, how could there be a betrothal and such things, it was easy to get together and part without hard feelings.

But she still genuinely said, “No, I’ve only liked you, and only you from the start to the end.
In that world, I actually don’t have much freedom, I don’t even have time to think about other things besides working, so I’m just with you, spoiled by you like this.”

Mo Linyuan listened, and was extremely satisfied.
Xiao Mu-er only had him, very good.

“I'll also only have you, and I'll spoil you even more in the future.”

Ye Mu smiled heartily.
“Then you might be at a loss.
You're the emperor and the country is in your hands.
And there's me, who's just a soldier who's a little better than ordinary soldiers.
You liking me is actually a big loss.”

Mo Linyuan genuinely said, “Whom I like is you, it has nothing to do with your status or ability.
You might feel ordinary, but in my eyes, you're very special, I'm satisfied to have you in this life.”

Ye Mu immediately covered her teeth.
“Aiya, how sour*!”

*Ye Mu uses 酸 [suān] here.
This can mean sour, or sore/ache (hence Mo Linyuan's response in the next paragraph), but what Ye Mu means here, “sour” teeth (at least, it’s what I’m translating it to), is that Mo Linyuan is being so sappy; nauseating.

Mo Linyuan thought her teeth really ached at first, but glared at her after he reacted.
“I'm telling the truth!”
