Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

This One is a Counterfeit (2)

Mo Linyuan shook his head, “Zhao Mingyu doesn’t need to steal. What she wants is to acquire my trust. Right now, I can deduce that the emperor of the Zhao Country sent her because she has talents that others don’t have…”

Mo Linyuan pretended to think over the matter that happened before and intently analyzed the situation with her,

“… Maybe Zhao Mingyu is good at martial arts and can take us off guard… Maybe she has photographic memory and can easily memorize the map with one glance… Regardless, in preparation of what’s to come, I prepared this deceptive counterfeit here to see.”

Ye Mi truly didn’t know how to reply. She simply muttered, “You are truly a genius.”

“Of course. From the piece gifted by the Zhao country, if it was fake, the edges wouldn’t have matched with other pieces. Although I’m guessing it is 80% fake, just based on the edges and how well they fit together, we can conclude that the people of Zhao do in fact possess the true City Boundary Map.”

Ye Mu asked, “Then is it possible that… It is in Zhao Mingyu’s possession?”

Mo Linyuan nodded, “That a possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Ye Mu pondered about Zhao Mingyu and her character. She seemed to be very tough at first impression. If they tried to use force, it would be difficult to resolve.

Right then, Mo Linyuan suddenly took a step closer. She was once again trapped between him and the dragon desk.

“You…” Why are you suddenly in my personal space?

Ye Mu made eye contact with him. She knew she was in danger then, but didn’t dare to escape.

Mo Linyuan said earnestly, “Little Mu’er, once you reach marriageable age, let’s get married, alright?”

“What?!”

Ye Mu looked at him in astonishment. She didn’t expect the subject to change so rapidly.

Mo Linyuan spoke sincerely, “If one day you truly have to return, and I cannot stop you… then I hope at least before you leave me, your body and mind, all of you… will belong to me.”

“There’s no way!” That would be so unfair for him!

“You don’t have to think about what’s fair and not fair. This matter is something I have decided on. I want to be able to have you, in any way that I can.”

His words really shook Ye Mu. Mo Linyuan could have taken the more radical approach, yet he didn’t. He could have hid the truth from her that this map was a counterfeit, and let her become disheartened, but he didn’t. He had always loved and respected her, yet she…

Ye Mu opened her mouth, and the words, “I won’t return home anymore…” almost escaped her lips, but in the end she swallowed them back.

She has to think about this! Reflect on this again!

Naturally, Mo Linyuan didn’t know about Ye Mu’s internal struggle. However, he knew exactly what he was doing. Before this, he had deliberately planned this temptation, but the result truly surprised him. He was really glad that he prepared early on to use a fake map to explore this possibility.

He still had time. He is confident that regardless of who was waiting for Ye Mu back home, he will be able to take that person’s place, little by little!

Right then, a servant came by,

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Zhao wishes to see you!”

Ye Mu quickly tried to bury her emotions and pushed Mo Linyuan away. Mo Linyuan rearranged some stuff on the desk before he replied, “Let her in.”

On her way here, Zhao Mingyu already guessed that Mo Linyuan must have the unified in his possession. Although the copy she provided was fake, Mo Linyuan couldn’t be aware of that. Therefore, she would have to be considered an honorary individual who contributed to completion of the map. There was no way he wouldn’t agree to her request now, right?

A smirk emerged from the corner of her lip. The reason why the Zhao Country sent her was, not only because of her talent in writing and martial arts, but also her superb memory.

Any writing she has seen, she could even recite it backwards. Although a map is more challenging, she had already trained herself before coming here. She only needs to get one glance in, and she will be able to obtain the completed map in memory!
