Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant Chapter 84

As the Wen family left with a gloomy atmosphere, Ye Li also finally felt exhaustion come over him. He glanced at Wen Ru's corpse, then had his servants wrap it and hide it for now. He'll deal with this matter later.

The unfortunate Wen Ru thought that if she died, she would be able to take Ye Mu to the grave with her. Yet, who knew the it wouldn't happen? If she had known earlier, she definitely wouldn't have chosen to die.

Ye Mu looked at her corpse without a hint of sympathy. There was none, after all, she had threatened her life. Even if she had died, she wouldn't show mercy in the afterlife. Furthermore, since they insisted on bringing her trouble, then…they shouldn't blame her for taking the initiative!

Sure enough, in the next second, Ye Li's gaze fell on her, “Speak, how will you prove that what you just said was all true?”

When Ye Mu heard this, she fixed her gaze on Ye Li for a moment. She was silent for a while and then she lowered her head and said, “If I were to say that what I just said was a lie to protect my life, would father kill me out of anger?”

Although there was such a conjecture in his earlier speculations, when Ye Mu really admitted it, Ye Li didn't become mad as he had imagined.

He frowned and was silent for a long time before letting out a cold snort. “You dare to deceive me? You little brat, you must have a lot of guts!”

Even though he spoke with a straight face, his words didn't have any anger in them. All he could say was that Ye Mu had worked hard for so long, so she more or less held some place in his heart.

Ye Mu seemed to sense this and let out a long sigh of relief.

“Actually…those words were not a lie. The person who had told me that the emperor was in critical danger last time, had come to find me again and told me about this news. I don't know if it's true or not, but with father's wit, you should be able to find it out quickly.”

When Ye Li heard that it was that mysterious person again, his thick eyebrows immediately wrinkled. He asked in a deep voice, “Since that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier?”

He stared oppressively at Ye Mu, as if wanting to know what else she was hiding from him.

Ye Mu shook his head, “At first, I didn't tell because I was afraid of speaking such words, but Father would think that I was only thinking of falsehood and harboring hatred towards the madam. Moreover, I had to protect myself from the madam's actions earlier…and I was very afraid that if the matter had been fake, the madam would use it against me.”

At the end of the day, she was the one who had spoken and protected herself. And just recently, she had been forced into a corner.

This fact inexplicably dug into Ye Li's cold heart and all thoughts of fury immediately disappeared. If it were any child, it would have been too difficult for them to think about things so thoroughly; in that case, he could not blame her for her secretive actions.

Ye Li was silent for a moment before whispering, “This matter…you did well. But any information that reaches you—you must tell father immediately. And if that man in black comes looking for you again, you shouldn't hide anything from me.”

Ye Mu nodded.

Seeing that she was well-behaved, Ye Li couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch her head of which the curls had come loose from the earlier struggle with Wen Ru…

This girl could also be considered unlucky. Not only had she experienced an unimaginable disaster, even the scene from before had made her loose her former liveliness.

As Ye Li thought of this, a strange feeling spread in his heart. Especially when her fine and soft hair rubbed against his palm, he suddenly felt the endearing feeling of the words: ‘blood is thicker than water'.

“I almost sent you out together with the Wen family. Do you hate me?” Before Ye Li could come back to his senses, he had already asked such a question.

When Ye Mu heard this, she pondered for a moment before answering.

“Father, is power really so important? In order to be an emperor is it necessary…to lose people important to you?”
