Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant
chapter-412

Protect

When Ye Mu dashed into Mo Linyuan’s embrace, he was still frozen. He thought he must be dreaming, but the real sensation in his arms told him it was not a dream.

Someone suddenly came out among the enemy group. It was Qi Yan. Seeing Ye Mu “resurrected”, he felt incredulous. He wished he could run to her and confirm it himself.

But Mo Linyuan wouldn’t give him the chance; he directly carried Ye Mu onto the horse, turned around, and ran off. The remaining people looked at each other. Are they fighting this war or not? The commander is gone, it won’t be appropriate to proceed, right?

Ye Xiaolang cleared his throat and used internal energy to speak to the other party.

“Cease fire today!”

With this said, they withdrew a hundred li.

Some people from Yue Country had wanted to instigate Qi Yan to pursue them, but Qi Yan refused. He similarly ordered to retreat, giving Mo Linyuan time for catching up. Similarly, he also needed to calm down. Ye Mu had appeared. Will this war continue?

Ye Mu sat in Mo Linyuan’s embrace, contentedly hugging his neck, but seeing his tense expression with no trace of a smile, she felt strange. Was he not supposed to hold her and twirl her around three times in a circle, and then kiss her?

In the end, Mo Linyuan rushed into the camp while carrying Ye Mu!

“Where are the imperial physicians? Call them all to see me!”

As soon as he gave the order, all the physicians that followed here came. Seeing him holding Ye Mu, each of them was greatly surprised!

If they remembered correctly, wasn’t Empress in the palace with only a breath left? How was she frolicking now?

But they couldn’t be inattentive. They quickly took Ye Mu’s pulse under Mo Linyuan’s intimidation. Ye Mu was sitting on Mo Linyuan’s lap. Feeling his tense muscles, she rather helplessly said, “I’m really fine, is it really okay to run off like that?”

In the end, before Ye Mu finished speaking, Mo Linyuan stared at her. Those eyes were rather scary, making Ye Mu shrink back, obediently resting in his arms.

Wow, why was it that she gave him a surprise but he didn’t look happy?

Ye Mu couldn’t read Mo Linyuan’s thoughts. His whole person was slightly trembling, even more, his thin lips closed tightly! He was very scared she got injured running here like that. He hadn’t ruled the world and she’d woken up. Was there a lurking danger?

Various thoughts flooded Mo Linyuan’s mind. Only after all the imperial physicians checked Ye Mu’s body and said that besides her body being a bit weak and needing a good rest, there was no other problem, did Mo Linyuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Ye Mu sheepishly said, “Actually I’ve been building up my health. I’m really fine, I’m all good right now!”

It was okay she didn’t talk about this. The moment she did, it was like coming across a pot of gunpowder! Mo Linyuan’s gaze was aloof on her. He hugged her tightly and demanded, “When did you wake up? Why do I not know a single thing about this!”

Ye Mu didn’t speak, so he hugged her tighter, pushing her head into his arms.

Ye Mu then noticed Mo Linyuan’s voice was trembling slightly.

“Do you not know it’s dangerous to do that? Do you not know I’m very worried about you! How could you come here carelessly? If something happened to you what will I do?” he pressed in a row, making Ye Mu overwhelmed. But the unease and fear in his words made Ye Mu touched.

She hugged Mo Linyuan’s neck and nuzzled. She said under her breath, “Because I wanted to surprise you. I don’t want to look like a walking stick in front of you. That look is not pretty, what if you don’t like me anymore?”

Her last words were clearly said as a joke. Mo Linyuan hugged her hard. He couldn’t speak for a long time.

After a while, he left a slightly quivering kiss on Ye Mu’s forehead.

“Thank you, thank you for coming back.”

Before Ye Mu could speak, he said, “The guoshi said, as long as you’re willing to come back, then you can come back to my side. If you’re not willing, your remaining souls would also follow you and leave.”

Ye Mu just realized, turns out her heart had long been firmly held by Mo Linyuan because she had always thought of coming back.

She sighed and smiled. “I still couldn’t let you go, so I came back.”

The two people quietly hugged like this for a long time, in the end feeling an upsurge of emotions. Ye Mu was still thin, and Ye Mu also felt Mo Linyuan was very thin.

It was this scene Ye Xiaolang saw when he came in. He cried. “No way, you guys! Leaving me a terrible mess and then coming back, do you not consider my feelings!”

Ye Mu chuckled. She glanced at him. “Thank you Xiaolang, long time no see!”

When Ye Mu said that, Xiaolang sighed with sorrow, his eyes reddening.

“Xiaojie, luckily you came back, or else after defeating Yue Country, we wouldn’t know what we should do.”

They didn’t know how to save her, but because they were working hard because of her, Ye Mu’s heart suddenly became courageous. She shouted, “Now that I’m awake, let’s have a feast!”

Ye Mu’s words made the depression that kept lingering around the camp vanish. When night arrived, everyone cheered, but besides not being able to drink liquor and couldn’t take off their armors, everyone enjoyed a great meal!

It was clearly not a festival, but the atmosphere was livelier than a festival. Everyone’s morale greatly rose. The exhaustion from fighting a long war disappeared. They felt Yue Country was no longer a threat! They could get rid of it any time!

The cheers over here could almost be heard in Yue Country’s camp. That night, Qi Yan drove out everyone who was giving advice, carefully thinking for the whole night.

Mo Country now held a large part of the countries. If they chose to withdraw and not fight, under the protection of the city and vantage place, although they gained the upper hand, a protracted seizing wouldn’t hold for long. On the contrary, as long as they gave Mo Country a chance to proliferate, it will become spirited again. When they made a comeback, it would be the day of Yue Country’s destruction.

This was a hopeless situation. Besides, even if Mo Country didn’t retreat, they would continue to fight them tomorrow. Given the strength of the other party, it would be hard to win.

So what should he do? Continue to attack, or seek peace, or surrender?

The consequences of all the choices flashed through his mind. In the end, he remembered Ye Mu’s face. He touched that ugly turtle on his chest. That time, because Mo Linyuan saw this turtle, he didn’t kill him. In other words, Ye Mu imperceptibly had saved him once.

Should he, repaying good with evil, continue? No one could give him an answer. He could only ponder over it himself, decide by himself.
