Chapter 63 – I Only Wanted You To Be Safe (2)Mo Linyuan"s heart tensed up hearing her words. Amidst the distress and nervousness, a trace of sweetness was spreading inside his chest.
He was silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.
“You were worried about me, so you hoped that I would leave quickly… However, I was also worried about you.”
Ye Mu was stunned and raised her head to look at him, only to see that his almond-shaped eyes were lowered as he deeply looked at her.
“You did so much for me, yet you won"t allow me to pay you back in the slightest. What kind of logic is that?” He whispered, his hand resting lightly on her face, his eyes serious and determined.
“If I don"t remove the threat around you, I will definitely not be able to leave in peace. You can blame me, scold me, hate me, but if I had the choice to do it again, I will still do it.”
After a while, he ended his words with: “I just want to protect you. You can"t refuse me that, Young lady.”
It was the first time he had said so much. Ye Mu"s eyes flashed, and her heart was inexplicably fl.u.s.tered and helpless. Her chest was also filled with a strange feeling.
The youth in front of her was so thoughtful. To even think a young child as him would want to us his frail shoulders to shield her from the wind and the rain!
He had wanted to do something for her so badly, but she…
How could I blame him?
When she thought about how he would become the greatest emperor in all history, and how he would be able to repay the kindness given to him with a hundredfold genuineness from his heart, it was truly a reflection of his good heart.
However…
“How foolish.”
After a long time, Ye Mu shook her head in sadness. She used her handkerchief to wipe the blood on his face and grinded her teeth as she said, “Then just forget about it! If you can leave today, immediately leave this place and never come back!”
But at this moment, a woman"s scream came from the stable! Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.
He wanted to be obedient, but it seemed like it was too late.
Thus, he hurriedly stuffed a ball of paper into Ye Mu"s hands. Ye Mu didn"t even have the time to look at it before the door to the stable was opened.
As if she had been thrown around by Ye Li, Wen Ru"s clothes were disheveled, and she no longer had the courage to stand up. Ye Li gave her one last deep look and walked out of the stable in large strides without even bothering to look back at her.
At this moment, none of the surrounding servants were present. Ye Mu and Mo Linyuan were the only ones remaining, so it was best to face them head on. Although Ye Mu was a little uneasy, she still secretly remained on guard.
After making such a scene, Ye Li didn"t have any good mood left. He stared at the two children in front of him without a hint of warmth in his eyes.
“Someone come! Tie this slave up!”
When Ye Mu saw this, she immediately panicked a little. “Father, you…”
“Shut up!”
Ye Li yelled out impatiently. Mo Linyuan did not resist and was obediently tied up.
Ye Mu knew that she couldn"t delay Mo Linyuan"s departure, so no matter what, she had to send Mo Linyuan out today! That was why she took a step forward and said in a domineering tone,
“Even if father blames me for disobeying him, I still have to say it! It"s true that it was a mistake for Aji to wreak havoc on this particular occasion. But if he didn"t, he wouldn"t have been able to expose Wen Ru"s true colors, and father would still have been fooled until today.”
“Are you telling me I need to reward him?” Ye Li sneered.
“No! But at least don"t kill him!” Ye Mu said anxiously.
“Kill? Oh, no. I won"t kill him.”
Ye Li looked down at Mo Linyuan from above. “This kid is so cunning; I tied him up because I"m afraid he"ll escape halfway. Moreover, I intend to personally send him to Official Liu"s residence.” He looked at Ye Mu in anger and stressed one last word, “Now.”
What?
Ye Mu eyes widened! If he would accompany him, wouldn"t Mo Linyuan truly end up in the hands of Official Liu?
