Arranged Marriage with a Princess (2)
Ye Mu suddenly felt guilty and quickly pulled Mo Linyuan towards the bathing room.
“Ok ok, fine! Enough chit-chat. Let’s quickly take a bath! I feel very sticky and uncomfortable.”
Mo Linyuan chuckled softly as he let himself be pulled by her.
Truthfully, it wasn’t hard for him to guess. Ye Mu had never been interested in anything except for the City Boundary map. She was always fascinated by the document.
Originally, the thought of Ye Mu leaving made him very, very angry.
However, he realized that little Mu’er was not indifferent to him. This alone was what helped him to suppress his negative thoughts.
He could still wait a little longer.
He was the emperor, and the world belongs to him. Although he does like taking risks, he was willing to be more patient with his most beloved woman. Even though the course of events has been somewhat unpredictable, as long as he obtains what he wants, that was enough for him.
Once Ye Mu arrived at the washroom, she regretted it right away. This was the emperor’s palace, it was meant for only the emperor alone. Naturally, there was also only one washbasin!
This was indeed a trap! Since she was so distracted by the other matter while walking here, she was unaware of the situation she just walked into.
Right then, all of the servants finished preparing the bath and had already retreated. At the elegant doorway, Mo Linyuan glanced over to see Ye Mu deep in her thoughts as she stood there unmoving. He couldn’t help but gently place both his hands on her shoulder. He then lowered his head and leaned in to whisper,
“Little Mu’er, your face is red. Are you thinking of something you shouldn’t be thinking about?”
Surprised, Ye Mu stuttered, “D-Didn’t you want to take a bath? Why don’t you take a bath first and I’ll wash after!”
Seeing how Ye Mu tensed up, Mo Linyuan tried to stifle his laugh. He suddenly asked, “Little Mu’er, do you know how old I am this year?”
“Eighteen…?” Wasn’t the answer obvious? Why was he asking her this?
Mo Linyuan scoffed, “A normal eighteen-year-old guy would already have two kids. While this monarch here tragically does not have even one.”
“!!!” With his provocation, Ye Mu began struggling to break free, before finally fleeing! Before she left, she went back inside to scream at him angrily, “Are you taking the bath or not? If you’re not going to, then leave so that I can wash first!”
Her tone expressed significant irritation, but her innocent-looking face was completely red. His little Mu’er fleeing so suddenly was truly adorable!
“…I’ll bathe first.”
He entered and closed the doors behind. With one finger, he removed the belt around his waist. In a flash the white clothes rolled off, exposing his powerful body and leaving him only in his trousers.
If he was on the battleground, his current appearance would send others into a passionate frenzy. Currently, the dense mist of the steaming bath in the surrounding area made Ye Mu truly want to run away in fear!
She was still considered a girl in modern times!
Seeing how Mo Linyuan was about to take off his pants, Ye Mu quickly turned around. She tried to meditate over and over again to calm herself. In the end, she heard a loud splash, indicating he had entered the water.
“…Little Mu’er, do you know what the Zhao country came to discuss with me?”
Ye Mu thought back to what she read in the history books. Although things were different now, there could only be one reason why the Zhao country came by…
“…They want you to marry their princess?”
Mo Linyuan was accustomed to her predictions now, so he simply laughed, “Yes, they want to have their princess marry me. They sincerely don’t care if their princess doesn’t become queen and is only accepted as an imperial concubine.”
Ye Mu felt slightly uneasy in her heart. She had warned herself that she was going to return home and could not become attached to anyone in this world… especially Mo Linyuan.
Witnessing Ye Mu at a loss of words made Mo Linyuan very happy. He was aware that Ye Mu grew up in a harsh and cruel environment, which was why she was so closed off. She was very blunt, had a military mindset, and was also very logical… which was also why she had always concealed her emotions.
“Little Mu’er, you tell me. What would you like me to do?”
