Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 101
“Respect?” Lu Xunchang smirked while regarding Zhang Yufan in disdain. “Did I hear you wrongly? Are you actually discussing respect with an assistant, Young Master Zhang? Who are you putting up an act for? Who knows what nasty things you have in mind?”
Zhang Yufan frowned and pointed at Lu Xunchang. “W-Why do you speak in that way?”
“Since you do not intend to do anything, Young Master Zhang, please step aside for now.” Lu Xunchang signaled the men who were standing behind him, and they surrounded Shen Qi immediately.
Shen Qi’s expression darkened immediately, and she glared at Lu Xunchang. “President Lu, what are you trying to do?”
“Ha.” Lu Xunchang sneered. “My dear assistant, how dare you ask me what my intentions are? You presented yourself to me today, so don’t blame me for being rude.”
Shen Qi sensed danger, and just as she was about to scream for help, the men behind her hit the back of her neck swiftly. Then, Shen Qi’s eyes rolled up before she slumped to the side.
No one tried breaking her fall, but Zhang Yufan was quick on his feet. He dashed forward and supported Shen Qi before scowling at Lu Xunchang. “President Lu, just what do you think you’re doing?”
Lu Xunchang glared at him vehemently. “Get lost.”
Zhang Yufan tightened his grip around Shen Qi. “Are you guys planning to do something to Assistant Shen? She is Young Master Ye’s assistant. Are you trying to offend Young Master Ye of North City?”
“Ha, we do not see eye to eye,” replied Lu Xunchang while glaring menacingly at Zhang Yufan with narrowed eyes. “Your name is Zhang Yufan, am I right? You’d better hand her over. Otherwise… I will render you unconscious and take you with me.”
Zhang Yufan met Lu Xunchang’e eyes when he heard that, but he did not let go of Shen Qi.
“She is just an assistant you met not long ago. Do you want to offend me for her sake?” With that, Zhang Yufan loosened his grip slightly, and Lu Xunchang’s subordinate took the chance to grab Shen Qi away.
After that, they took Shen Qi away from the banquet hall openly. Many people witnessed what happened, but everyone was aware of Lu Xunchang’s ways, and they thought that both were consenting adults, and so the audience ignored it.
After they left, Zhang Yufan felt bad, and so he called for his secretary hurriedly. “Go upstairs now and inform Mr. Zhou’s assistant that the assistant who came with Young Master Ye has been knocked unconscious and taken away by Lu Xunchang.”
The secretary frowned when she heard that. “The Lu and Ye Families?”
“Mm-hmm. Go, quick.”
His secretary stood rooted to the spot.
As such, Zhang Yufan frowned at her while asking in an irritated tone, “What is it?”
His secretary explained, “Young Master Fan, I believe you are not aware of the issues between the Lu and Ye Families, am I right? I just learned about it as well. I heard that somehow, Lu Xunchang offended Young Master Ye, and so Young Master Ye crippled him. Think about it—what is Lu Xunchang’s favorite activity? Now that he is crippled, he must have lost his cool, and he is dead-set on getting back at Young Master Ye.”
Zhang Yufan frowned when he heard that, and he blurted out, “Well, Lu Xunchang has always been fooling around with many women, so isn’t it good that he is crippled now? To a certain extent, Young Master Ye rid the people of an evil-doer.”
“Young Master Ye, don’t you get what I mean? What I meant is that Lu Group is acting recklessly out of despair, and I am guessing that they are ready to do anything now. Hence, this would involve many things, so I think it’s best for us to not get involved at all.”
Upon hearing that, Zhang Yufan frowned unhappily. “Are you telling me to keep myself out of the matter and pretend as if I didn’t see anything?”
His secretary answered swiftly. “T-That would be the best.”
Zhang Yufan pinched his eyebrows at his secretary’s reply. Then, his secretary added, “We aren’t in the same league as the Zhang’s and Lu’s. Hence, if those two families were to truly fight each other…”
“What if due to this incident, we, the Zhang’s, are able to gain the Ye’s protection?” Zhang Yufan blurted out a shocking question, and his secretary’s eyes widened in surprise. “Young Master Fan, what are you saying?”
“I want to try my luck. Find a way to inform Young Master Ye in person quickly, and let him know that I was the one who released this piece of news. The Lus has always been a thorn in the flesh… I am quite sure that many people have wanted them gone for some time. Besides, the Lu Family can’t beat the Ye Family anyway, so let’s watch things unfold from the sidelines.”
…
Ye Moxuan and Mr. Zhou were chatting for a short while when someone came in stealthily to convey a message. Mr. Zhou paused for a while to look at Ye Moxuan, who sat opposite him.
Ye Moxuan cocked a brow and asked, “Mr. Zhou, do you have to go now?”
“Young Master Ye, this matter is related to your assistant.”
Assistant? Shen Qi? Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes dangerously while asking him, “What do you mean?”
Mr. Zhou conveyed the message he just received to Ye Moxuan, whereas Xiao Su, who was listening in from behind, asked, “Lu Xunchang? Damn, Mr. Zhou, you actually invited him to the banquet?”
Mr. Zhou rubbed his nose awkwardly before trying to laugh it off. “I didn’t invite him, to be honest, but anyway, it isn’t difficult for someone of his status to get an invite from someone else.”
Ye Moxuan scowled when he heard that because it meant that the situation was worse than he thought.
Xiao Su replied hastily, “Young Master Ye, could Lu Xunchang be holding a grudge against you because of the previous incident? Maybe that is why he took the chance this time… Where can he possibly take Assistant Shen to?”
Ye Moxuan’s expression darkened, and his eyes gleamed dangerously. “Mr. Zhou, I am afraid I have to take my leave once again today,” he remarked frostily.
Mr. Zhou made a ‘please’ gesture while standing up slowly. “Assistant Shen met with trouble at my banquet, and as the host of the banquet, I am responsible for this as well. I will instruct my people to check the surveillance tape to find out where they took her.”
“Thank you.”
Mr. Zhou left swiftly after saying his piece, whereas Xiao Su left the room with Ye Moxuan as well. “That scoundrel, Lu Xunchang. Would he do something horrible to Assistant Shen? He was crippled as a man, and it’s a horrible thing for a guy; I can’t even begin to imagine what extreme things he might do.”
The more Xiao Su commented, the more horrible Ye Moxuan’s expression turned. “Get it sorted right now.”
Xiao Su immediately whipped his mobile phone out.
Coincidentally, Ye Moxuan’s phone rang at the same time, but it was from an unknown number.
Xiao Su’s breath caught in his throat, and he was rendered motionless while staring at Ye Moxuan’s phone screen.
Ye Moxuan answered the call while gazing coldly into the distance.
“How have you been, Ye Moxuan?” Lu Xunchang’s conceited voice rang from the other end of the line. Xiao Su started scolding him the moment he heard his voice. “Lu Xunchang, do you have a death wish? How dare you kidnap someone from the banquet? Are you hoping for the Ye’s to crush the Lu’s?”
“Hahaha!” Lu Xunchang burst into a cackle of manic laughter. “Come at me if you have what it takes. However, before you start crushing the Lu’s, bear in mind that your assistant… will be tortured beyond imagination.” Lu Xunchang’s voice sounded menacing. “Ye Moxuan, you caused a huge rift between two families for the sake of a lowly assistant. You ended our collaboration, and you even got someone to… Ha! I’d like to see what you, a crippled man who has lost his manhood, could do for the sake of this assistant of yours!”
“Lu Xunchang, let her go if you know what’s good for you,” warned Xiao Su.
“What do you want?” Ye Moxuan asked in a cold voice.
Lu Xunchang was silent for a while before he spoke again, “It seems like you truly value your assistant, Ye Moxuan. Who would have thought you’d end up in this position today? Let me tell you—I’ve fed your assistant large amounts of ecstasy, and she’s waiting for you to rescue her. What are your thoughts now?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 102
Ye Moxuan’s eyes flashed dangerously, and he hissed through clenched teeth, “How dare you?!”
Lu Xunchang snorted in laughter. “I am now just like a disabled person; do you really think that I have anything to lose? Ye Moxuan, if it were in the past, I would have tolerated you, but now… why should I be afraid?”
The busy tone then came from the phone.
Lu Xunchang had hung up on Ye Moxuan right after that.
Ye Moxuan decided promptly. “Locate the position of this phone number, and we’ll rush over there straight away. Inform them to send help over immediately as well.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Su didn’t waste another second. He whipped his phone out while pushing Ye Moxuan to leave the event right away.
On the other side, after hanging up on the phone call, Lu Xunchang stared unblinkingly at the woman lying in bed. She was still unconscious, and there was a large bowl of medicine beside her.
Lu Xunchang gave her a deadly stare before instructing, “Feed her the medicine.”
“Yes, Young Master Lu!”
Under his command, his subordinates forced Shen Qi’s mouth open before pouring the medicine into her mouth forcefully.
Shen Qi woke up with a start as she choked on the medicine, and she grabbed onto her throat while she started coughing. When she regained her consciousness and realized that she was being force-fed some medicine, she instinctively shoved the bowl away.
However, she had already consumed at least half a bowl’s worth of medicine by then.
Meanwhile, Lu Xunchang laughed evilly at her.
Shen Qi covered her mouth before scuttling to the corner of the room, her eyes wide open with fear.
“Ye Moxuan’s assistant, ha! I wanted to fool around with you, but it’s a shame you didn’t know what’s good for you. In that case, you should just wait here while you are overwhelmed with lust.”
Shen Qi’s eyes bulged in shock when she heard that. “The medicine you fed me…”
“Do you think Ye Moxuan will come and rescue you?”
The color drained from Shen Qi’s face, and she lowered her head while sticking her finger down her throat, trying her best to vomit whatever she had taken earlier.
“It’s no use,” commented Lu Xunchang with a faint smile. His grin was like a beast that was baring its fangs. “The medicine will take effect in another ten minutes, and this is the strongest medicine we have. Even if Ye Moxuan came for you, he is just a cripple, who is not functional. I don’t suppose he could be of much help!”
His subordinates laughed at Lu Xunchang’s comment while rubbing their hands together. “Young Master Lu, if Young Master Ye can’t help her, why don’t we…?”
Lu Xunchang snorted in disdain while scanning the room. “Seal the windows and door, and light the incense. All we have to do now is to wait for Ye Moxuan to fall into our trap.”
“Just because Ye Moxuan is impotent, he wants others to end up like him? If that is the case, I’ll let him experience the torture of unfulfilled and pent up lust.”
Shen Qi immediately guessed what Lu Xunchang meant after putting together what he said, and when she saw the men lighting up the incense, her expression changed drastically. She immediately tried getting up, but she had no energy at all, and her whole body felt boneless.
“You bastard…”
After lighting the incense, Lu Xunchang left with his men before locking the door and windows.
The room fell into dead silence, leaving only Shen Qi lying in bed. Her finger twitched when she tried with all her might to get up from the bed.
She finally struggled to sit up after much difficulty, but she rolled down the bed by accident and ended up on the cold floor.
It’s so painful…
Shen Qi’s tiny face distorted in pain from the fall.
Lu Xunchang is such a despicable jerk. He knows very well that…Ye Moxuan is incapable in that department, but he drugged me anyway. Besides, he lighted that ecstasy incense, and Ye Moxuan will be affected the moment he enters.
But…I can’t move at all, and I have no energy left.
My eyelids feel so heavy. Shen Qi almost drew blood from biting her lower lip, and soon, her eyes rolled up before she was completely knocked out.
…
“Young Master Ye, we got the location.”
“Where is she?”
“They are at Li Hao Hotel.”
“Step on the accelerator.”
Soon, Ye Moxuan and his people arrived at their destination. Xiao Su asked in a stern voice the moment they came to a stop, “We are here, Young Master Ye. Should we go up now?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“But…” Xiao Su paused for a while. “I think it’s best for you to not head up for now, Young Master Ye. It’s more than enough for the group of us to head upstairs and rescue Assistant Shen.”
Ye Moxuan frowned deeply when he heard that, and just as he was about to say something, his mobile phone rang.
It was Lu Xunchang. Ye Moxuan pressed the button to answer the phone call calmly.
“It seems that like the assistant is really important to you, Young Master Ye…”
Xiao Su looked stricken when he heard that, and he scanned the surroundings immediately.
Ye Moxuan remained expressionless while not replying to Lu Xunchang.
Lu Xunchang smirked. “Your assistant has been drugged with a very intense medication, and if you don’t save her in person, Young Master Ye, your subordinates might very well see her naked! There is also the possibility where she might throw herself at them under the drug influence. Well, of course, I have to remind you that I tripled the normal dosage for her, and if she doesn’t get the release she needs within an hour, she might very well bleed through her orifices to death… Sigh, such a pitiful assistant.”
Xiao Su gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “Lu Xunchang, you are a shameless scoundrel!”
“Ye Moxuan, I am glad that I will soon have the chance of witnessing you unable to release your sexual frustration. I am truly looking forward to it.”
With that, Lu Xunchang hung up the phone call.
Xiao Su advised promptly, “Lu Xunchang set the trap on purpose to lure you in, Young Master Ye, so you must not be fooled by his tricks.”
Ye Moxuan looked out of the car window with an icy stare before ordering him, “Push me out.”
Xiao Su paused before calling out, “Young Master Ye!”.
“What is it? Do I even need others to save my woman?”
“But—” Xiao Su tried searching for the right thing to say.
“You will phone the hospital immediately, whereas the rest of the men should search for Lu Xunchang’s hiding spot quickly and find him.”
Since he did not have a choice, Xiao Su could only agree before pushing Ye Moxuan out of the car, and he then pointed at the men behind him. “Didn’t you guys hear Young Master Ye’s orders? Go ahead and get that sorted now!”
“Yes.”
After assigning the tasks accordingly, Xiao Sue led a few men and brought Ye Moxuan up the building immediately.
Once they arrived at the entrance of the room, Xiao Su kicked the room door open straight away. But before he could check the state of the room, Ye Moxuan instructed sternly, “Shut your eyes!”
Xiao Su turned around swiftly while glaring at his men. “Guard the room outside, and you’re not allowed in the room.”
Ye Moxuan rolled his wheelchair and was about to enter the room alone when Xiao Su’s expression changed drastically before he stopped him hastily. “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Moxuan caught a whiff of a distinct fragrance in the air, which made him scowl. “Get everyone to cover their mouths and noses because there is an ecstasy incense lighted in the room.”
Xiao Su nodded immediately while handing masks to everyone, and he allowed Ye Moxuan to enter the room by himself only after putting a mask on him.
In the hotel room.
Shen Qi thought that she might burst into flames due to the heat, and her clothes were disheveled while she lay on the icy-cold floor. She was very weak, but under the influence of the drug, she shed all her clothes, while leaving only her undergarments on. The coolness from the floor radiated throughout her body, which helped ease her scorching temperature.
Nevertheless, it did not solve the root cause at all.
Shen Qi was semi-conscious, and she felt a strange feeling in her lower abdomen, which embarrassed her!
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that someone would drug her. She was helpless and didn’t have the strength to resist it at all, and her primitive needs… were simply summoned and stimulated by the drugs.
Conflict, discomfort, pain, despair, and all sorts of emotions overwhelmed Shen Qi.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 103
Heat rose and radiated through Shen Qi’s whole body, making her feel as though even her brain was on fire. It was as if her blood was filling up her veins and burning up her ears and face.
I can’t stay here any longer. I have to…leave this place.
However, she was in a haze, and so she had no choice but to bite her lower lip hard to regain some consciousness via the pain before quickly scrambling toward the door.
However, the drug was too strong, and she must have been drugged with quite a high dose since she was force-fed about half a bowl of it.
Will I…end up dying here today?
Shen Qi was not sure if her lower lip was a bloody mess by now, but she was aware of her mouthful of metallic scent of blood. Nevertheless, the pain she felt was so negligible compared to the heavy fog in her mind; no matter how hard she tried, the fog just wouldn’t lift.
Just as Shen Qi wanted to crawl toward the bathroom, an icy-cold hand grabbed onto her.
Who is that?
Shen Qi shook off the person’s hand reflexively while yelling, “Get lost!!”
Ye Moxuan scowled deeply while regarding Shen Qi, who was in front of him.
The touch earlier felt scorching hot, which only further confirmed how strong the drug effects were. However, she still clung onto the last shred of rationality to shove his hands away, and her determination shocked Ye Moxuan. Therefore, when Shen Qi looked up at him, the usually calm Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but stare at her wide-eyed.
Blood was trickling down the corner of her lips, and she had her bottom lips chewed to a bloody mess.
Fresh blood continued flowing down the corner of her mouth, and Ye Moxuan’s heart clenched in agony when he saw the bright red color.
“You…” Ye Moxuan’s expression changed drastically when he saw Shen Qi about to bite herself again. He dragged her up swiftly before shoving a finger into her mouth instinctively.
She bit down viciously, causing Ye Moxuan to grunt in pain.
“D-Damn it!” Ye Moxuan’s forehead beaded with cold sweat while he stuttered. “Miss Second-marriage, if you dare bite my finger off… I’ll never forgive you.”
Shen Qi seemed to have heard Ye Moxuan’s voice in her foggy mind, and in the beginning, she thought that she was hallucinating. However, when she realized that she was biting on someone else’s finger, she lifted her face up.
The vague images before her eyes then gradually overlapped and came to a sharp focus.
Ye Moxuan was glaring at her with a dark expression while seated on his wheelchair, and his finger was bleeding after she bit on it.
“It’s you…” Shen Qi regained her sanity somehow, and she shoved against him violently. “You need to leave. Get out!” she shouted.
“What are you doing?” Ye Moxuan was still in pain because he just had his finger bitten by her, and blood was dripping everywhere. Ye Moxuan’s expression soured instantly, and he questioned Shen Qi in disdain.
Damn this woman. I came all the way here to save her, and here she is, trying to push me out of the room! She even bit my finger!
Shen Qi explained with all her strength, “He lit some ecstasy incense here!”
“Ecstasy incense?” Ye Moxuan repeated, but he still seemed indifferent, as if this was within his predictions.
Shen Qi exclaimed, “You should leave too, because if you stay on, you will be drugged too.”
He is a cripple, who relies on a wheelchair all year round. I wonder what will happen if he were to be truly drugged?
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan lowered his head and squinted his eyes at Shen Qi, who was almost naked while tucked in his arms.
This woman is already in such a sorry state; why is she still concerned about whether others get drugged as well?
“Instead of being concerned if I may be drugged, shouldn’t you worry about yourself?!” reminded Ye Moxuan coldly.
Shen Qi shook her head with a soft reply. “I-I don’t know…”
The pain earlier kept her slightly grounded and conscious for a moment, but it was only for a very short period. Now, her rationality was slipping away again, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.
Ye Moxuan noticed that, and he pinched her chin swiftly. “Stay with me!”
Shen Qi’s eyes focused once again, but it only lasted for a couple of seconds before they lost their focus.
“Quick… Leave…” Shen Qi mumbled with her bloodied lips, sounding like a broken record.
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless by her reaction.
He increased his grip before hissing through clenched teeth, “Is this all the willpower you have? Just stay strong for a moment. The doctor is arriving soon!”
The next moment, Ye Moxuan’s body stiffened because Shen Qi’s arms snaked around his neck. Her soft and velvety arms rested around his neck, whereas her flushed cheeks approached him slowly, and she was about to kiss him.
Ye Moxuan’s pupils dilated, but he turned away just before her kiss landed.
However, Shen Qi did not give up just yet, and since she couldn’t kiss his lips, she shifted focus and kissed his neck instead.
Ye Moxuan felt his abdomen tighten, and he increased his grip around Shen Qi’s waist to shift her farther away from himself.
“Damn it, woman, you had better wake up right now!”
“I… I feel so hot.” Shen Qi reached both arms out at him, as if asking for hugs after he shoved her away. She appeared unsatisfied, and her actions were rather irresistible.
Ye Moxuan should have pushed her away, but… he wasn’t quite sure why he felt that Shen Qi, who was before him, had became so gentle now.
The dim yellow lights in the hotel room cast a suggestive atmosphere, as if leading the both of them on.
“Hug me… please?” Shen Qi’s voice was different from her usual cold tone, and at that moment, her voice was tender and womanly; even her usually calm eyes were sparkling and seductive, as if beckoning for him.
Ye Moxuan couldn’t help himself and leaned forward for a kiss.
“Uh,” Shen Qi moaned in pain. It was most probably due to the pain on her lower lip, which was torn and chapped from earlier, and the wound made contact with Ye Moxuan’s lips.
Ye Moxuan felt his body core temperature increase rapidly just like Shen Qi’s, and it seemed as if he didn’t want to cause her pain on her lower lip injury as he shifted his lips to somewhere else. He then started nibbling on her delicate earlobe.
Ye Moxuan was lost in the haze of kissing when he realized something wasn’t quite right, and his eyes flew open with a start.
The drug was very strong indeed, and without realizing it, he was already under its influence.
The woman leaning against his body was moving her hands swiftly across his body while her small hands were trying to unbutton his clothes, but her fingers were fumbling around to no avail. Thus, Shen Qi lost her patience, and she used both hands to grab onto Ye Moxuan’s collar before trying to rip them apart.
However… she was too weak, and her attempt was unsuccessful.
Shen Qi was now frustrated, and she started tugging and yanking against his collar.
Ye Moxuan felt helpless when she saw the actions of the petite woman who was lying in his embrace.
He grabbed onto her small hands and spoke to her in a hoarse voice. “Stop fooling around. The doctor is arriving soon.”
However, Shen Qi was not herself anymore, and she was merely acting on her primitive instincts and desires when she approached Ye Moxuan. So how could she possibly register Ye Moxuan’s words now? She ignored him completely even though she heard him.
With that, Shen Qi tried pushing Ye Moxuan’s hands away.
Yet Ye Moxuan did not budge. Although his eyes were dark with desire, they were firm, and they seemed to have a sense of clarity in them. Similar to Shen Qi, cold sweat beaded around Ye Moxuan’s forehead.
“Let me go, let me go!” Shen Qi became anxious when she couldn’t push him away after trying several times. She then lost her patience and leaned forward before biting Ye Moxuan on his neck.
Ye Moxuan’s expression fell immediately, and he was at a loss for words. In fact, the sudden feeling of swelling almost broke him!!
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 104
At a balcony.
Lu Xunchang’s assistant, who was always with him, couldn’t help but ask, “President Lu, would it really be fine for us to do this? After all, we are in North City, and it wouldn’t end well for us if we were to offend the Ye Family.”
“Hmph, he’s just a cripple who is hiding behind the name of the Ye Family. Meanwhile, I am a self-made man, who has years of experience, so why would I be afraid of someone like him, who was born with a silver spoon?” Lu Xunchang sneered in contempt.
In all honesty, as an experienced active participant in his social circle, Lu Xunchang had bedded countless celebrities from his social circle, and so he never expected himself to get himself into trouble, all thanks to a mere assistant.
He was not an irrational man, and he was well aware of the Ye Family’s status and influence in North City. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xunchang wouldn’t offend someone superior to him no matter how angry he was.
However, to Lu Xunchang, Ye Moxuan was just a cripple; in fact, he regarded Ye Moxuan as a disabled person, who did not possess the most basic quality as a man.
As a self-made man, Lu Xunchang looked down upon those who were born with a silver spoon, and if it weren’t for the Ye Family’s status and power, Ye Moxuan would have been no one. Hence, Lu Xunchang was determined to teach him a lesson this time.
Lu Xunchang found out about Old Master Ye, and he was well aware that Old Master Ye did not want to offend him. Furthermore, Old Master Ye was the one who appointed Ye Moxuan as the President, and if trouble were to arise, he would most probably be able to transfer the position to Ye Linhan instead.
By then, Lu Xunchang would like to see what a cripple like Ye Moxuan could possibly do.
“President Lu, although Young Master Ye relies on a wheelchair, he has all the necessary capabilities.”
“Tsk, he doesn’t even have the basic ability of a man, and here you are, claiming that he has all the necessary capabilities? Let me tell you, Ye Moxuan is an impotent eunuch!”
Simultaneously, Mo Yexuan, who was regarded as impotent, was burning with lust. He maintained his unwavering willpower, but it wasn’t until today that Ye Moxuan learned how soft a woman’s body could be.
She was as soft as a snake, which wrapped around his body and hugged his neck.
It was both a foreign and exciting feeling for him.
Subconsciously, Ye Moxuan thought that Shen Qi’s fragrance seemed somehow familiar, as though he had smelled it somewhere before.
He was already soaked with sweat, but he just couldn’t carry Shen Qi out at the moment.
“Xiao Su!”
Ye Moxuan thundered finally, and his voice was almost breaking.
Xiao Su had been waiting at the door for the longest time, and although he wasn’t drugged at all, seeing as he was on the other side of the door, his entire body was still covered with sweat because he could hear the conversation between Ye Moxuan and Shen Qi clearly. This also meant that he could clearly imagine what was going on in there.
However, the doctor was nowhere to be seen!
Xiao Su shuddered involuntarily when he heard Ye Moxuan yell for his name, but he didn’t dare to barge into the room.
“Young Master Ye, just hang in there. I’ll rush the doctor.”
With that, Xiao Su whipped his phone out to urge the doctor, but unfortunately, he said that there was some problem on the way here, and he would be rushing over once that was settled.
After hanging up on the phone call, Xiao Su bellowed, “Hang in there for about ten minutes! He’ll be here in another ten minutes, tops!”
In the room, the vein against Ye Moxuan’s temple throbbed with his heartbeat.
Every second felt as though he was being burned alive, and he was quite sure that he wouldn’t make it out alive in another ten minutes.
Besides…even if I can resist and hang in there for another ten minutes, how about this woman in my arms?
Initially, she was hugging him and groping him all over, but in the end, she was most probably clueless of how to proceed. Furthermore, with the intense effect of the drug, she no longer had the energy to touch him, and so she was rendered motionless in his arms while panting heavily.
However, Shen Qi’s breaths were hot to the touch, and she was huffing and puffing against his chest.
“Miss Second-marriage?”
Ye Moxuan called out for her.
But Shen Qi did not respond to him.
Ye Moxuan scowled, and he reached out to lift her head by hooking her chin up. “Shen Qi?”
This was most probably the first time Ye Moxuan called Shen Qi’s name out in front of her, but she couldn’t even respond to him. Her fair skin was already burning up to a pinkish flush, and her face was as red as an apple.
When Shen Qi heard someone calling out her name, her eyelids fluttered slightly, and her eyes were unfocused when she gazed up at Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan scowled at her. “Are you alright?”
Shen Qi’s face scrunched up while tears started rolling from the corner of her eyes. “It’s so horrible. I feel horrible.”
Earlier, she felt weak as her body was burning up, and now, the feeling was agonizing. But the man before her couldn’t ease the burning lust within her body. Previously, she thought that she might gain some relief by hugging him, but eventually, that proved to be useless as well.
I need cold water…
Yes.
Shen Qi snapped back to her senses when she thought of that, and so she pushed away Ye Moxuan’s hand to raise herself from his lap before walking unsteadily to the bathroom.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes gleamed dangerously, and he grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going?”
“I need water…” mumbled Shen Qi, and she sounded upset. “It’s fine if you don’t want to help me. I’ll just get myself some water…”
Ye Moxuan inhaled sharply. She wants cold water?
“Are you kidding me? You will catch a cold!”
Besides, she is pregnant now!
This was the most troublesome part. Shen Qi moaned in agony, and her body started twitching. A burning sensation started from her lower abdomen, which radiated throughout her body. The lust was overwhelming for her, and she felt so tortured that she thought she might drop dead any second.
The next moment, Ye Moxuan pulled her into an embrace by hooking his large, burning arm around her waist.
His eyes were pitch-black, and they seemed as deep as the ocean. Ye Moxuan held her steady with a palm behind her head while speaking to her in a husky voice. “If I save you, how will you repay me?”
Shen Qi’s eyelids fluttered again when she heard that, and she looked up innocently at him.
“S-Save me…”
Ye Moxuan was already drugged with ecstasy incense the moment he entered the room. In fact, he had already inhaled large quantities of the incense since he remained in the room for such a long duration, and so his body had reacted to it long ago.
If I can solve her suffering with this method, I…will not object to it.
However…
Ye Moxuan hooked her chin up while asking in a rumbling voice, “Are you sure you want me to save you?”
After asking that, he leaned in even closer to whisper into her ear, “Once you become my woman, I don’t care whom you’ve been with before. From then on, you can only miss and think about me in the future. Are you sure?”
It was impossible for Shen Qi to digest what he said at that moment, and the only thing she could do was to bob her head in a haze. She clung onto his collar helplessly like a little kitten while answering, “I promise… as long as you save me.”
“Don’t regret it!” Ye Moxuan warned her before yelling for Xiao Su again.
Xiao Su heard their conversation, and he figured having such a keen hearing wasn’t such a good thing after all. He responded swiftly and closed the door when he heard Ye Moxuan calling for him.
After that, Xiao Su instructed his men, who were guarding outside of the room door, “You all had better pretend to not hear anything coming from the room. You will guard the room tonight with your lives, and no one is allowed in. Do you hear me?”
These subordinates were very professional, for they were well-trained after all. They could hear what was going on in the room, but they remained indifferent and unfazed.
“Yes!”
In the room, Ye Moxuan started unbuttoning his clothes, one button at a time.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 105
Shen Qi fell into his arms motionless. The effect of the medicine had taken away her energy and her last bit of consciousness.
The motion of Ye Moxuan unbuttoning his clothes was as if he were an obsolete robot.
Shen Qi watched him quietly with her eyes half open.
Their breathes were scorching.
After unbuttoning the last button, Ye Moxuan suddenly stood up from the wheelchair as he carried Shen Qi in his arms.
Shen Qi, who was dazed, didn’t even question how a handicapped managed to get up from the wheelchair.
She was carried to the bed in the bedroom and was put onto the soft mattress.
The back of her head sank into the soft pillows, and above her was a heavy and scorching body. The man’s dominating aura overwhelmed her, and his warm hands were scalding her waist, as if they were fire.
“I’m asking you one last time. Are you sure?”
Shen Qi did not answer him.
“You’re not going to regret it?”
He seemed to be talking to himself but wanting to subjugate her as well.
He approached her with his eyes squinted, and his thin lips fell on her upper lips as he asked, “Do you know who I am? I won’t save you if you answered incorrectly.”
But Shen Qi still wouldn’t show any reaction.
“Hmm?” Ye Moxuan held her up as his hands unbuckled her buttons at the back agilely. “Who am I?”
“Uh…” Shen Qi struggled to open her eyes to look at the man before her.
The figure was blurry at first, then it slowly focussed. She could recognize him with just one glance…
“Y-Ye Moxuan…” Ye Moxuan heard her utter softly.
He was finally satisfied, and his thin lips curved upward. He gently sucked her upper lips and replied, “Good girl.”
He finally stopped torturing her.
He was just like a hiker, getting rid of all the obstacles agilely, and he went straight up onto the mountain peak quickly.
When he arrived, Shen Qi felt a pain somewhere down, and she was awakened for a few seconds from the pain as her eyes opened widely.
At the moment, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were glimmering with lights of happiness, just like the starry night sky.
Shen Qi was startled, and her eyes were wide open. She just stared at him like that.
His thin lips fell on her eyes, and his voice was husky as he spoke.
“No matter where you go and what identity you have, you have to remember this moment.”
…
Shen Qi had a long dream.
In the dream, she was a little white rabbit that got lost in the woods. She then met a big bad wolf. The big bad wolf seemed to be starving, and the little white rabbit was so frightened that she ran away.
However, her legs were too short, and she couldn’t escape from the big bad wolf even after running for a long time.
Soon, she was captured by the big bad wolf.
She was then swallowed alive, without any traces left behind.
Shen Qi woke up in shock and opened her eyes suddenly.
When she opened her eyes, she realized everything around her was in white, and there was the sound of the machines ticking, along with the smell of sterilizing fluid.
Hospital!
Why…Why am I here?
Shen Qi wanted to get up, but there was a strange soreness between her legs, and she felt as if all her bones were dislocated. She couldn’t move at all.
“You’re awake, Second Young Lady.” Madam Chen walked in with a thermal flask and looked at her gently.
Shen Qi nodded and greeted Madam Chen when she saw her.
She then lowered her head and started recalling what happened previously. She remembered… attending a banquet with Ye Moxuan and being taken away by Lu Xunchang.
The memories of what happened after she was being taken away poured into her mind like a tide, and Shen Qi couldn’t help but to scream instinctively out of shock.
Madam Chen was taken aback. She then quickly put the thermal flask on the table and asked, “What’s wrong, Second Young Lady? Are you not feeling well? Should I call the doctor?”
Shen Qi grabbed her wrist and asked anxiously, “Where’s Ye Moxuan? Where is he?”
She recalled that Lu Xunchang lighted the incense in the room and said that he wanted Ye Moxuan to suffer a pain he had never had before.
Shen Qi knew that pain! She had memories of Ye Moxuan coming to save her, but what happened after that… she couldn’t remember. It felt as if all her memories were crushed in her mind, and she couldn’t remember a single thing.
“Second Young Lady, calm down first. Second Young Master went home to get washed up. He should be here soon.”
Went home to wash up? Shen Qi blinked her eyes. “Is he fine?”
Madam Chen didn’t know what happened between them and looked at Shen Qi suspiciously. “What could happen to the Second Young Master? Instead, you are the one who is way too weak. You get admitted to the hospital so often. After you are discharged, I shall cook you some herbal soup.”
Shen Qi was startled and couldn’t react.
Is Ye Moxuan okay?
Didn’t he enter the room? Indeed, he shouldn’t be affected if he didn’t stay for long.
But…would Lu Xunchang’s men let him go so easily?
Besides….
The more she thought, the more painful her head got. She couldn’t recall a single thing from yesterday night.
“Second Young Lady, stop thinking. Lie down and get some rest. How are you feeling? Should I get the doctor?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi finally pulled herself back to reality. She shook her head and replied, “It’s okay, Madam Chen. I’m feeling fine. There’s no need to get the doctor.”
“Drink some soup, then, Second Young Lady?”
Madam Chen stood up and opened the thermal flask before she poured a bowl of soup and passed it to Shen Qi. Shen Qi was feeling a little hungry, so she nodded and took the soup over politely. She then drank the chicken soup quietly.
“Is Ye Moxuan… coming later?” she suddenly asked.
“Yes, the Second Young Master informed me that he will come soon and asked me to take good care of you,” Madam Chen answered with a smile.
Shen Qi finally sighed in relief. Thank god he is coming back.
She had lots of questions for him.
As she was drinking the chicken soup, Madam Chen suddenly spoke. “Second Young Lady, it’s not that I want to lecture you, but you young people should control yourselves. Getting yourself into the hospital because of that matter can be pretty harmful in the long run.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s movement froze. Her head tilted a little. Because of that matter?
What does ‘that matter’mean?
“You guys should control yourselves even though you are newly-wed. You still have a long way to go, and there’s plenty of time. Second Young Lady, I really am warning you as a senior who has been through this. You won’t be mad at me, will you?”
Shen Qi put down the soup in her hands and muttered, “Madam Chen, I don’t quite… understand.”
Madam Chen was speechless.
How am I supposed to tell the Second Young Lady? Madam Chen thought for a while and suddenly pointed at Shen Qi’s neck.
Shen Qi instinctively looked toward the direction she was pointing at, but she couldn’t see anything.
“Second Young Lady, just remember that you young people should restrain yourselves a little. Just remember this,” Madam Chen reminded.
Shen Qi thought Madam Chen was acting weird, and she couldn’t understand her words at all.
Shen Qi only understood what Madam Chen was trying to say hesitatingly just now when she went to the bathroom after finishing the soup and saw herself in the mirror.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 106
Shen Qi stood before the mirror and stared at her reflection with her eyes widened in disbelief.
She didn’t know when it started, but there were green and purple bruises all over her fair neck.
Shen Qi had seen these marks before.
But it was just once.
It was the rainy night when she just got a divorce with Lin Jiangli, and her virginity was taken away by a stranger. She then hurriedly ran home and kept showering; that was when she saw those hickies on her neck.
It was just the same….
Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she finally reacted. Her face turned white as she looked down and pulled her shirt open.
As expected, it wasn’t just her neck. Those marks were all over her body.
Shen Qi’s back slumped against the door in despair.
Right. How could I forget…
Besides the lit incense in the room yesterday night, Lu Xunchang… also drugged her.
She was so worried about Ye Moxuan and what happened to him that she forgot that she was drugged. She couldn’t remember what happened after that, but now, she was lying here, unharmed and covered with all these hickies…
Ye Moxuan was incapable of doing it.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Shen Qi couldn’t help but shake, and her body slumped onto the floor feebly.
God, you really are fooling around with my life.
“Second Young Lady, what happened?” Madam Chen was shocked when she saw her suddenly falling onto the ground. She immediately put down what she was doing, ran toward her, and helped her up.
Shen Qi went back onto the bed with Madam Chen’s help, and her mind seemed to be muddled after she lay down. Suddenly, she grabbed Madam Chen’s hand as she remembered something important.
“Madam Chen, Madam Chen!”
“I’m here, Second Young Lady. What’s wrong?”
“Help me… Help me get the doctor!”
“Okay! Okay, I will get the doctor right away.” Madam Chen was frightened to see her face turning pale and didn’t dare to continue asking. She just hurried out of the ward and called a doctor.
The doctor hurried over and saw that Shen Qi was awake when he walked in. He was just putting on a smile when Shen Qi grabbed his collar and widened her eyes as she lay there.
She wanted to say something.
It was the same doctor as the last time, Dr. Sui.
Dr. Sui knew the complicated relationship between her and Ye Moxuan. Realizing that she was hesitating to speak, he turned around and told Madam Chen, “You must be her family member. Please wait outside while I check the patient.”
“Okay.” Madam Chen then left the ward.
Shen Qi grabbed the doctor’s shirt as her lips moved, but she couldn’t speak a word.
Dr. Sui could roughly guess what she wanted to say and therefore asked, “Miss Shen, are you trying to ask about the baby in your stomach?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s eyes widened, and her voice quivered. “Doctor, you knew?”
“Yeah.” Dr. Sui nodded and understood her worries as a mother. He then smiled and uttered, “Don’t worry. Your child is fine.”
Shen Qi was relieved to hear that the child was fine. The hand that was grabbing the corner of his shirt slowly relaxed as well.
“Thank you.”
“Anything else? Are you feeling any discomforts?” Since Dr. Sui was here, he might as well check on her. He bent down, grabbed her wrist, and felt her pulse. He then used the stethoscope to perform some regular checkups.
“Everything seems to be fine. Rest well, Miss Shen.”
Just as Dr. Sui was about to leave, they heard voices from the outside.
“Second Young Master, you are here.”
Ye Moxuan is here? Hearing his name, Shen Qi’s gaze changed, and she unconsciously shrunk under her blanket.
“Dr. Sui is checking on the Second Young Lady inside.”
Just then, the door was pushed open from the inside. Then Dr. Sui walked out and met Ye Moxuan’s gaze.
“Young Master Ye, the check up is done. Miss Shen is awake, and she is doing fine.”
“Okay.” Ye Moxuan nodded.
Shen Qi was hiding under her blanket as she listened to the noises outside. She was so frightened that she shuddered when she heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling.
What happened…yesterday night?
Bang!
The door of the ward was shut, and all the other sounds disappeared. It was only the sound of the wheelchair moving left.
No one else was speaking, and Shen Qi was wondering if it was just Ye Moxuan who entered.
“What are you doing, hiding under the blanket?”
Shen Qi was still wondering when Ye Moxuan’s voice rang, startling her.
“Don’t dare to meet me, huh?”
Shen Qi didn’t know what to say.
She slowly pulled the blanket down and looked into Ye Moxuan’s eyes; what she saw stumped her.
Ye Moxuan’s handsome face was actually injured.
There were three long scratches on his handsome face, and it looked like a scratch from a cat’s paw. Besides, the corner of his lips were actually a little torn. If it wasn’t that his clothes were neat and tidy, Shen Qi would’ve thought that he got beaten up.
“What happened to your face?” Shen Qi asked instinctively.
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan paused while his long fingers gently ran across those scratches.
What’s wrong with my face? Ha, she even has the audacity to ask me that.
“What do you think?” Ye Moxuan asked her back.
Shen Qi was speechless.
How am I supposed to know?
Ye Moxuan’s eyes fell on her lower lips. Her lower lips were bitten by her yesterday night, and the doctor put on some ointment when she got to the hospital. Speaking of which, the wound on her lips recovered quite fast.
It was so quiet that it felt a little weird. Shen Qi then unconsciously bit her lips, but Ye Moxuan yelled, “Don’t move.”
Thus, Shen Qi just froze straight away. Ye Moxuan went forward and grabbed her chins. “Are you dumb? All you can do is bite your own lips when confronted?”
“I…” Shen Qi didn’t understand why he got so angry, and his gaze was so cold that it was frightening.
“Don’t you know that you’ve hurt your lips?” Ye Moxuan looked at her and spoked in a serious tone.
Shen Qi reached out and touched her own lips. It did feel a little painful. I didn’t feel anything when I was drinking the soup earlier, though. Was I too focused on other matters?
“Idiot!” Ye Moxuan scolded her.
Shen Qi found Ye Moxuan’s attitude weird. Although he was still fierce and was still scolding her, his tone… seemed to be much more gentle than before.
Is it my imagination?
Realizing that she was spacing out, Ye Moxuan unconsciously got more gentle with his movement. When he saw the purple bruises on her neck, satisfaction and pleasure flashed passed his eyes.
When he recalled how she hugged his neck lovingly, pleading him to go gentler….Ye Moxuan felt as if there were a little kitten scratching his heart.
His fingers slowly moved toward her neck unconsciously, and his warm fingers caressed the marks on her neck.
Shen Qi felt itchy and instinctively dodged from his touch.
She came back to her senses and remembered what was on her neck. Then her expression changed, and she jolted backward.
“Don’t touch me!”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 107
Ye Moxuan’s arms froze mid-air, and he frowned instinctively as he looked at her.
What is wrong with this woman?
Shen Qi didn’t answer Ye Moxuan’s question. She just quickly shrank back into the blanket and covered the marks on her neck using the blanket.
Ye Moxuan looked a little unhappy when he saw her covering those marks. His fingers froze.
“What’s wrong?”
Shen Qi hid under the blanket and only left her head out while she stared at Ye Moxuan helplessly.
“Y-Yesterday night, you…” she stammered, unable to form a sentence.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were bright as he stared at her sharply. “What?”
“Yesterday night, were you…” Shen Qi unconsciously wanted to bite her lips, but she remembered how he warned her not to bite her lips and that her lips were injured because of it. Thus, she restrained herself from doing it.
“Was I what?” Ye Moxuan knew that she wasn’t herself and probably didn’t know who he was, which was why he had asked her who he was at the crucial moment. When she called out his name clearly even though she was unconscious, Ye Moxuan felt a strange feeling inside.
So now that she asked him, Ye Moxuan couldn’t tell if she remembered yesterday night’s incident.
“I told you to leave. Did you?” Shen Qi stared at him for a while.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“No.” Ye Moxuan’s eyes were still as bright as a torch.
No? Shen Qi’s eyes blinked. “You didn’t leave? Then…”
If he didn’t leave, then…. Shen Qi paused for quite some time before she asked, “Are you okay, then?”
The veins of Ye Moxuan’s forehead jumped as he squinted his eyes to look at the woman before him. She seemed to be scared, but worried about him at the same time. She obviously didn’t remember what happened yesterday night and was still worried about him.
“Can’t you tell if I’m fine or not?”
“Erm…”
“You don’t remember what happened last night?” Ye Moxuan couldn’t take it anymore and finally asked.
Shen Qi fell silent when he asked her. She lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking. “Last night… All I remember from yesterday night was that you came into the room, but Lu Xunchang had lit the incense, and once you entered… you would be… would be…”
“Would be what?” Ye Moxuan squinted as he looked at her.
Shen Qi was too embarrassed to say it as her cheeks flushed red.
“Go on.” Ye Moxuan wouldn’t let her off the hook and kept asking.
Shen Qi avoided his eyes and whispered softly, “Didnt you know about the incense? If you inhaled it, you would suffer from it, just like being drugged. But aren’t you…” Incapable? Of course, Shen Qi didn’t say the word out loud.
Instead, she put it in another way. “Lu Xuncheng heard about those rumors and thought that you were… and that’s why he thought of taking revenge on you. So are you really… fine?”
Thought that you were… Ye Moxuan finally understood what she meant after a long time.
He was secretly mad and was gnashing his teeth, thinking about how hard he tried to save her last night, yet she had forgotten everything. Worst of all, she even thought that he was incapable and was worrying that Lu Xunchang’s incense would make him suffer?
“Young Master Ye?” Shen Qi called him, seeing as he didn’t respond.
Ye Moxuan pulled himself back to reality and rolled his wheelchair closer to Shen Qi. “Are you worried about my body?”
Shen Qi paused for a while before she shook her head and answered, “I’m just.. .a little guilty that they used me to lure you over… Just guilty. Don’t get me wrong, Young Master Ye.”
Ye Moxuan chuckled. He then reached out suddenly and pulled her out from her blanket.
“Ouch. What are you doing?” Shen Qi screamed from being frightened as he pulled her out from her blanket. She tried to push him away, but Ye Moxuan grabbed her slender, fair wrist.
He grabbed her wrist and put it on his face, and that was when Shen Qi noticed that he had placed her hand exactly where the scratch was on his face.
“See? These… were all your work.” Ye Moxuan’s voice was deep, and it felt like a mellow wine running down her throat.
What? Shen Qi looked at him in surprise. She noticed the scratch on his face when he came in and wondered what happened. So I was the one who did it?
But why can’t I remember anything?
“Including these…” Ye Moxuan grabbed her hand and moved. Shen Qi felt her finger falling on something soft and warm; it was Ye Moxuan’s lips.
The place where her fingertip fell was the place where Ye Moxuan’s lip was hurt.
How…Shen Qi’s heart trembled.
What is Ye Moxuan trying to say?
Ye Moxuan saw her eyes flutter, and her fingers had the tendency to move back, so he grasped her fingers tighter. “Are you denying it?”
“What?” Shen Qi’s eyes widened in bewilderment. “I… I don’t know what you mean.” She figured that it was possible that she scratched his face, but the wound on his lips? It looked way too flirtatious and ambiguous.
Did I jump on him and bit him? Shen Qi could only remember what happened before and couldn’t recall anything after.
“Don’t know what I mean? Seems like you have forgotten it all,” Ye Moxuan sneered. His large hands suddenly reached to her neck. “Should I help you recall?”
Shen Qi looked at him helplessly as Ye Moxuan leaned closer, and his thin lips fell on her ear.
“Someone was holding onto me last night, begging me to save her…”
Shen Qi’s expression changed completely when she heard that sentence.
She could tell that Ye Moxuan was referring to her.
“I didn’t want to, but she kept throwing herself at me and took off my clothes—”
“S-Stop talking,” Shen Qi interrupted him with her voice shaking. “I was drugged yesterday and can’t remember anything.”
Just as she was done speaking, a few images flashed past her mind.
In the picture, she was holding Ye Moxuan’s neck; her clothes were messy, and she sat on his lap as she moved around. Her lips even pouted while she kissed him all over. It was a complete disaster and was out of control!
She could even hear her own voice. “Save me…”
Her voice was coquettish; it was the effect of the drug.
Shen Qi was completely frozen.
“So it was you…?” Those purple marks all over my body were left by Ye Moxuan?
Thinking so, Shen Qi pushed Ye Moxuan away in disbelief. She then looked at him. “Last night, we…”
“You recalled?” Ye Moxuan’s eyes were still cold, but his gaze seemed to be a little different, and he seemed to be teasing her.
Shen Qi paused before she uttered, “I recalled some scenes.”
“The scenes where you seduced me? Miss Second-marriage, you were the one who seduced me last night.”
Shen Qi got confused and instinctively looked between his legs. “D-Don’t you… have a problem in that area? How were you able to do it?”
Aren’t you impotent? She still couldn’t say it out loud.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 108
“A problem down there?” Ye Moxuan’s gaze turned sharp. “Who told you that?”
His eyes were so sharp that Shen Qi gulped unconsciously. “Those strangers.”
“Wow, so you just believed whatever those strangers said? Aren’t you clear if I have any problems or not?”
Ye Moxuan suddenly grabbed her wrist and placed it somewhere, making her scream anxiously as she tried to free her hand from his control.
“Feel it properly. Do I have a problem there?”
Shen Qi’s mind went empty, and she couldn’t think nor feel him. She was so frightened that she bit his shoulder and quickly pulled her hands back as he dazed off.
“Ye Moxuan, you pervert!”
“I’m a pervert? Why didn’t you call me a pervert when you begged me to have sex last night?” Ye Moxuan chuckled evilly. He lowered his head and bit her chin. “You really think of yourself as a wild cat, biting someone whenever you like?”
Her cheek was as red as an apple.
Why does it feel like… Ye Moxuan’s attitude toward me is different?
“Remember!” Ye Moxuan growled firmly next to her ear. “From today onward, you are my woman.”
Shen Qi’s heart skipped a beat.
What did he just say?
“From now on, no matter whom it is, your ex-husband, Ye Linhan, or any other men, you are banned from interacting with them, not even a glance.”
Shen Qi was speechless.
“If I find out that you had any interactions with them, or had any thoughts…”
Knock-knock——
Just then, somebody knocked on the door. Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Su’s respectful voice came from outside. “Young Master Ye, it’s almost time for the meeting.”
“Got it.”
Ye Moxuan looked at Shen Qi, who was still dumbfounded. He then flicked her forehead and asked, “Did you hear me?”
Although Shen Qi still couldn’t react, she unconsciously held her forehead and nodded when she heard his words.
“Stay in the hospital. I will send someone to guard you, and I’ll come get you after work.”
She paused before she murmured, “Okay.”
After Ye Moxuan left, Shen Qi still couldn’t react to what happened.
She sat on the bed and tried to recall what happened yesterday and what Ye Moxuan just said.
She was drugged yesterday, and there was incense lit in the room. Lu Xunchang thought that Ye Moxuan was incapable, so he drugged her in order to torture him and to hurt her in the process. Yet Ye Moxuan was fine in the end, and she was unharmed as well. All she got was some hickies that appeared out of nowhere.
Yet now, Ye Moxuan was telling her that she was his woman from today onward.
Does that mean that we had sex yesterday night?
Shen Qi felt shy again when she remembered the traces on her body that were left by Ye Moxuan.
Gosh.
She thought that God had made a huge joke with her and wanted to prank her to no end.
She didn’t expect that…….
She didn’t expect that the person who stayed with her last night was actually him.
Shen Qi didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad at that moment.
…
She stayed alone in the hospital for most of the day. She then got really bored and requested to be discharged.
But the news she got was that she couldn’t be discharged until Ye Moxuan was back. She must wait for him.
Therefore, Shen Qi could only return to her ward and spent the rest of her boring day there.
When she came back from the bathroom, her legs were slightly trembling. She then checked her body again, and there were traces everywhere; her trembling legs also indicated how crazy they were last night.
But she couldn’t remember most of the things. She vaguely remembered that Ye Moxuan asked her if she was comfortable and whether she wanted more……
And then she…….
Anyway, Shen Qi felt extremely embarrassed.
She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t want to face Ye Moxuan anymore.
Just as she was thinking, the sound of a wheelchair rolling came from the outside.
He’s done with his work?
Shen Qi’s expression fell, and she unconsciously closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
“Second Young Master, you are back? Second Young Lady has been bored for the entire day and is probably asleep now.”
Thanks, Madam Chen! Wow! Shen Qi was cheering. She could use sleep to avoid Ye Moxuan now.
“I see.”
There was no emotion in his deep and cold voice.
Soon, the voice of the wheelchair softened a little before it stopped in front of her hospital bed. Shen Qi pretended to not hear anything and continued pretending to be asleep.
“You can leave.”
Shen Qi heard two sets of footsteps walking out. It was probably Xiao Su and Madam Chen.
The ward then fell into silence, and Shen Qi heard the sound of pages flipping. She sneakily opened her eyes and saw that Ye Moxuan had moved and was reading a magazine with his head lowered.
Shen Qi was beyond words.
What the hell? Is he not going to leave? He is staying here to read magazines?
Shen Qi closed her eyes again. Hmmph. Read your magazine, then. I’m going to pretend to be asleep.
Shen Qi didn’t move while Ye Moxuan continued reading his magazine.
Ye Moxuan’s movement were small, but when he heard that the woman’s breathing was getting even, his movement went completely silent. He looked up, and his indifferent eyes fell on her fair face.
He knew that she was pretending to be asleep.
She thought he couldn’t tell, but the breathing of a person who was awake and a person who was asleep was different. Also, he could tell from her heartbeat.
This dumb woman…She thought she was that smart.
How could the Shen family have someone like her?
Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes as he recalled the information Xiao Su gave him.
Shen Qi’s life had always been just work and home; it was mundane. She did the groceries, cooked, and was responsible for her husband’s life at home.
But the man had an affair.
Even the marriage between them was deceptive.
Before their marriage, the man was already cheating. It was just that he had a fight with the woman and got married with Shen Qi out of anger. But the woman then came back…
They finally divorced the day the man won the lottery.
Although her life was miserable, why did she marry into the Ye family all of a sudden? There are many who want to get close with the Ye family in North City, but most of them had their eyes on Ye Linhan, not me.
That was because Ye Moxuan was a good-for-nothing that was in his wheelchair all year round; besides, he needed someone to take care of him in his daily life and was sexually incapable.
Marrying him meant that she not only had to be his ‘maid’, but also live like a widow for the rest of her life.
At least, this was what the others saw.
Why would any other girl do this? Unless they were really desperate to get close with the Ye family and had their eyes on the Ye’s wealth and power.
But Ye Moxuan couldn’t understand Shen Qi’s moves.
Since she came to the Ye family, she hadn’t done anything suspicious and just kept doing some strange things.
Even last night…
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 109
She was actually worrying about him instead of herself at that moment.
Someone once said that you would see through someone’s heart at the time of crisis.
When Lu Xunchang lifted the chair and smashed it on him, she rushed over to protect him without knowing that he could dodge. If he had not dodged in time, the chair would have fallen on her.
She is…such a petite person. If it really hit her, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Ye Moxuan felt terrible even in retrospect.
But what about her? What was she thinking when she just dashed out without caring for her own safety?
Thinking so, Ye Moxuan’s gaze moved and locked onto the girl on the bed.
Maybe she is different from what I thought.
The room was quiet, and only their breathing and heartbeats could be heard. Ye Moxuan closed the magazine and gently put it back into his bag. He then rolled his wheelchair forward to watch Shen Qi, who was asleep.
Shen Qi’s features were sharp, and the shape of her face was a classic oval shape. But she never dressed herself and didn’t pay much attention to her attire, which made her look rustic.
When she first came to the Ye family, she looked gorgeous in her wedding dress, but once she put on her own clothes, she looked old-fashioned.
She was so young, yet she never dressed up.
It was impossible for such a woman to be able to seduce him.
Yet… Ye Moxuan and her actually…
Ye Moxuan’s heart melted at the thought of her crouching under him yesterday night, begging and pleading him over and over again. He couldn’t restrain himself and gently stroked her hair on her forehead to the back of her ears.
…
Han Xueyou got the news that Shen Qi got into an accident, and she rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Ye Moxuan sitting before Shen Qi’s bed while his hands were on her face. Han Xueyou couldn’t react even after a while as she looked through the glass window.
What’s going on?
Ye Moxuan is…
“Miss Han?” Xiao Su called Han Xueyou puzzlingly as he saw her spacing out.
Han Xueyou came back to her senses and smiled. “Hi, I heard that Shen Qi got into an accident, so I came to visit her.”
Xiao Su took a look inside. It was so quiet that one could hear if a needle fell onto the ground, thus Xiao Su lowered his voice and said, “Miss Han, I know that you are worried about Assistent Shen, but she is fine now. She is currently resting, so you might disturb her if you go in now.”
Han Xueyou seemed to be disappointed to hear that, but she nodded after a while. “Well, I am relieved to hear that she is fine. By the way, can you inform me when she is awake? Or is it possible for me to wait here?”
“Err…” Xiao Su hesitated. He knew that Shen Qi and Han Xueyou seemed to be on good terms, so he nodded after some thought.
“Great. I’ll go in and wait, then.”
With that, Han Xueyou pushed the door and went straight in without giving Xiao Su a chance to speak.
“Miss Han.” Xiao Su called after her.
“Shh!” Han Xueyou showed him a silent sign, and Xiao Su immediately shut his mouth.
“I’ll wait inside. Don’t worry, I won’t make any noise.”
Han Xueyou quietly shut the door and tip-toed in. She was just about to greet Ye Moxuan when she looked up and met his cold gaze.
Han Xueyou was stunned for a while before she explained quietly, “Young Master Ye, I-I’m here to visit Shen Qi.”
Ye Moxuan had a poker face on, and his voice was cold. “She is resting. Please go out.”
Han Xueyou didn’t know what to say.
Facing Ye Moxuan’s ungracious dismissal, Han Xueyou’s face went pale immediately. “I…”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were as calm as water and showed no signs of sympathy.
But…he looked so gentle when he put his hands on Shen Qi’s face just now.
Could it be that he fell in love with Shen Qi?
Han Xueyou felt bad the instant this thought struck her.
No. They are getting divorced in the future, so why would Ye Moxuan fall in love with Shen Qi? Han Xueyou didn’t leave. Instead, she stood there and looked at her feet. “Sorry, I won’t make a sound, and I promise I won’t disturb her.”
Ye Moxuan rolled his wheelchair to her side. “You’ve disturbed her already.”
Han Xueyou bit her lower lip, turned her head, and met Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
His eyes were cold, like a pool of cold water which had no warmth when he was looking at her. How is that possible? Although I’m not some supermodel, I’m not too bad, am I? Why is he looking at me like that? Han Xueyou was upsetted and felt disturbed inside. “I won’t speak a word anymore,” she whispered.
No matter what, she wouldn’t leave.
Ye Moxuan stopped speaking as well and put on a sarcastic smile, yet the strong sarcasm in his eyes hurt Han Xueyou’s eyes. Then she decided to leave the ward after some thought.
Xiao Su had been looking around since just now and was finally relieved to see Han Xueyou walking out.
“I told you that Assistant Shen is resting, but you just didn’t believe me.”
Han Xueyou walked to a chair and sat down, feeling depressed. Xiao Su thought she was worried about Shen Qi, so he kindly comforted her. “Miss Han, you don’t have to worry so much. Assistant Shen is fine; the doctor just did a checkup.”
“Okay.” Han Xueyou nodded before she looked back inside the ward and thought of the scene just now. She couldn’t help but ask Xiao Su, “Is Young Master Ye… kind toward Shen Qi?”
Hearing that, Xiao Su was a little lost. Why would Han Xueyou ask such a question?
But he thought of it from another perspective. Well, she is Assistant Shen’s best friend, so she must be worried about her life in the Ye family, right?
Thinking so, Xiao Su immediately answered, “Of course! I’ve been with Young Master Ye for so many years, and this is my first time seeing him treating a woman like this.”
He was obviously making it sound better. Although he was exaggerating a little, what he said was completely true.
The last bit of hope left in Han Xueyou’s eyes vanished as she looked down and asked, “Is that so?”
Ye Moxuan treats Shen Qi well? Wasn’t their marriage…an arranged marriage?
Could it be…they eventually grew feelings for each other?
“Don’t worry, Miss Han. I know you’re worried about Assistant Shen, but Young Master Ye is really kind toward her.”
Although Ye Moxuan could be really mean toward Shen Qi sometimes, he really treated her well. Being his subordinate, Xiao Su could feel it.
“I see. Thank you.” Han Xueyou stood up. “I’ll leave first,” she announced.
“Sure.”
Han Xueyou left the hospital and got into the car. Her hands on the steering wheel unconsciously clenched tighter.
Why? Why is Ye Moxuan so kind to Shen Qi? She is…remarried and has a child, right?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 110
Achoo!
Shen Qi suddenly sneezed in her sleep and then woke up after that.
She looked at the ceiling in the room dazedly for a while before reacting and unconsciously pulling the blanket.
However, another pair of hands moved faster than her—before she could reach the blanket, he had already covered her up with it.
Shen Qi looked at the man.
“Y-Young Master Ye…” Shen Qi called his name, trying to sit up.
Ye Moxuan shot a glance at her and said in a cold voice, “You’ve only been asleep for half an hour, yet you’ve already kicked the blanket off. Are you a three-year-old?”
This cold and doting tone made Shen Qi lay there stunned, looking at him without knowing what to do.
What is going on with Ye Moxuan?
“I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me either.” In the end, Shen Qi could only stammer as she explained to him.
She seemed to have a habit of kicking the blanket away, but she didn’t expect Ye Moxuan would help her put it back.
“Silly.” Ye Moxuan glanced at her before retracting his gaze.
The single word made Shen Qi flush red, and she was going to bite her lower lip unconsciously, but Ye Moxuan’s voice rang faintly. “Your previous injury is still not healed. Do you want to add new injuries to yourself?”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi stopped her action and gave him a complicated look.
“Since you’re up now, let’s clean up and go home.” With that, Ye Moxuan turned around and pushed the wheelchair away to leave her bed.
Shen Qi stayed still for a while before putting away the blanket and sitting up. When she was about to ask what she was going to wear, she saw a set of clothes at the end of the bed, which seemed to be prepared for her.
She then got up and took the clothes to the bathroom.
Aftering hearing the sound of her movements, Ye Moxuan turned his head around and saw that Shen Qi’s walking posture was extremely strange, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile unconsciously.
After Shen Qi got changed, she sighed again when she looked at the marks on her body. She was quite annoyed by the marks before, but now that she knew that Ye Moxuan who was the perpetrator, her mood immediately became less gloomy than before.
After changing, Shen Qi slowly walked out of the bathroom and went to Ye Moxuan’s front.
“Shall we go back now?”
Ye Moxuan stared at her.
The sky blue dress which was taken from his wardrobe at home outlined her figure very exquisitely, but… Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly took off his coat.
“Put it on.”
Shen Qi paused and took the coat, but she didn’t put it on.
“Do you dislike it?” he asked.
Hearing that, Shen Qi shook his head.
“Then why don’t you wear it?”
Shen Qi whispered, “I bet this coat is quite expensive. If I wear it, you have to throw it away again. I think I’ll just give it back to you now.” After speaking, Shen Qi reached out and handed the coat back.
Ye Moxuan was stunned by her words, for he did not expect that she would make a fuss about that. His beautiful brows were twisted together into a frown, and his voice dropped a few degrees. “Are you planning to go back to the Ye family to announce to everyone what happened between us last night?”
When Shen Qi heard that, she froze, and her face turned a little pale.
“No, I’m not!”
She would never dare to do that, and such thoughts had never even crossed her mind.
Then, Shen Qi also understood in an instant that he gave her his coat because he didn’t want the people of the Ye family to see the marks on her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi silently donned the coat on her body, covering her neck tightly.
She looked like a child wearing an adult’s clothes when she put it on. Though it was quite awkward-looking, Ye Moxuan felt that the way she looked in his coat was quite pleasing to the eye for some reason. He then withdrew his gaze and said coldly, “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Shen Qi then followed him out of the ward.
Although a day had passed, Shen Qi’s walking posture was still quite weird. She felt that her legs were sore for every step she took. However, if she continued walking like this, what would happen if she was suspected when she saw the Ye family? Hence, Shen Qi could only force herself to walk in a normal posture.
After getting in the car, Shen Qi suddenly remembered something.
“Where is my phone?”
Ye Moxuan ignored her.
Shen Qi was a little anxious because her cell phone was confiscated by Ye Moxuan before this. After that, Han Xueyou gave her another phone, but she had lost it again. She wondered if it was taken away by Lu Xunchang or was confiscated by Ye Moxuan again.
“Young Master Ye, you once said that as long as I accompanied you to the banquet, you would return the phone to me.”
Young Master Ye?
Ye Moxuan frowned. “What did you just call me?”
Shen Qi paused for a moment before replying, “I-I called you Young Master Ye. Is there anything wrong?”
“Who allowed you to call me like this?” Ye Moxuan growled at her in a low voice irritably.
Shen Qi cowered in fright and hid into his suit.
“Weren’t you the one who asked me to address you this way?”
Ye Moxuan ordered, “You are not allowed to call me this in the future.”
Shen Qi asked, “Then what shall I call you?”
In that instant, Ye Moxuan couldn’t answer her question either. However, he suddenly turned his head around and looked at her viciously before warning her, “Anyhow, you are not allowed to call me that!”
There was silence in the air. Then, Shen Qi looked at him for a while before lowering her head.
“Got it. Then when will you return the phone to me?”
“You’re going on and on about cell phones. What else do you think about besides cell phones?” Ye Moxuan was really going to be driven crazy by the woman in front of him. Was the most important thing now her phone?
Shen Qi felt wronged to be scolded by him, so her eyes turned red involuntarily. “You told me that as long as I went to the banquet with you, you would give me my phone back. I’m not begging you to do that!”
Seeing that she was about to cry, Ye Moxuan felt helpless. “I’ll return it to you when we reach the house.”
Only then did silence fall in the car.
Xiao Su, who was sitting in front, felt a little awkward.
Why do I feel that Young Master Ye is a little…childish?
And why is he so flustered? He is always so cryptic.
The car quickly arrived at the Ye residence. When Shen Qi got out of the car, her leg was so sore that she almost fell down. Fortunately, she caught herself from falling just in time.
Then, she followed Ye Moxuan into the Ye residence. In the living room, Old Master Ye and Ye Linhan were both there. Ye Linhan even got up and smiled at them when he saw them.
“Moxuan, Shen Qi, you guys are back?”
“Yeah.” Ye Moxuan nodded without even looking at them and just walked toward the elevator.
Irritated by his attitude, Old Master Ye stood up. “Stop right there! Do you still have any respect for me?”
Duh, obviously not.
Otherwise, Ye Moxuan would not have walked past him without even greeting him.
When Ye Moxuan stopped, Shen Qi didn’t dare to move forward. She just unconsciously tightened the coat on her body to make sure that the marks on her neck were not revealed.
“Is there anything else?” Ye Moxuan’s voice was cold.
Old Master Ye stood there and sneered, “What are you going to do with the Lu family? Previously, you made one of them disabled; what are you going to do this time? How did Lu Xunchang offend you, anyway?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s heart sank.
Was it because of the Lu family that Old Master Ye lost his temper? Since the last incident, Shen Qi was now very worried that Ye Moxuan would take action against Lu Xunchang. This time… she wondered what he would do to Lu Xunchang.
“I don’t think I need to report to you what he has done to offend me.”
