Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1061

Seeing the gift in his hands and how Muzi intentionally created this moment for them, Yan could no longer ignore his existence. Therefore, she went up to him and greeted him.

When Yan called Xiao Su by his name, he faintly came to his senses. He came here today to deliver his gift. When he found out that the grand opening of Yan’s shop was today, he immediately asked to tag along with Young Master Ye, yet he noticed that the woman he had been missing day and night had lost considerable weight. Even though she did look better now, it still hurt Xiao Su’s heart to see her this way. He realized that he liked her face more when there was some baby fat. She looked way too skinny now.

“Congratulations on the grand opening. I only found out about this today, so I picked this gift in a rush. I hope you like it.” Xiao Su then gave the gift to her.

As Han Muzi was walking up the stairs, she heard what Xiao Su said. This brought a smile to her face, but she secretly disagreed with Xiao Su’s straightforward way of opening the conversation. Those words sounded too formal given their relationship—it was as if they did not know each other.

Han Muzi turned back and peeked at Xiao Su, only to be grabbed by her waist by Ye Moxuan. He commented in a cold voice, “Please pay attention. I don’t want you to trip.”

His words brought Han Muzi to her senses. She looked askance at Ye Moxuan and rebuked gently, “Didn’t you ask me not to interfere when I wanted to talk to Qing about Yan? You told me we don’t have enough time for ourselves, so what’s this? You don’t let me interfere, but now you’re helping Xiao Su. Isn’t this a double standard?”

The two reached the second floor as they took the last step. Then, Ye Moxuan loosened his arm around her, finally feeling safe to do so. He then lifted his eyes and quietly looked at her. He asked in a deep voice, “Who told you I brought Xiao Su along?”

“Who else was it?”

“If he asked you, would you say no?”

Han Muzi did not know how to respond.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere downstairs was somewhat awkward.

Hearing these words, Yan could only accept the gift and smile formally in response. “Thank you. I’ll definitely like it. Appreciate your thoughts.”

As Mr. Zhou and Luo Huimei listened to their conversation, it did not make them feel suspicious about anything. Besides, Mr. Zhou knew Xiao Su and that he was the right-hand man of Young Master Ye. He would be seen wherever Young Master Ye was. It then made sense for Xiao Su, Young Master Ye’s assistant, to be here at his daughter’s shop since Young Master Ye was here. Furthermore, since Xiao Su came, it would be sensible for him to bring a gift. Therefore, Mr. Zhou did not suspect anything.

After passing the gift to Yan, Mr. Zhou quickly found a seat for Xiao Su. Sitting in front of Yan’s parents, Xiao Su appeared to be awkward and restrained.

“Assistant Xiao, is Young Master Ye okay with little President Ye working here?” Mr. Zhou cautiously enquired in his deep voice the moment Xiao Su sat down. Since Mr. Zhou could never understand President Ye’s temperament and could never dare to ask him himself, he felt he would be able to get some information from Assistant Xiao instead.

He was right. After hearing his inquiry, Xiao Su explained earnestly, “Manager Zhou, please don’t worry. Little Bean’s been with Yan for so many years and they’re very close. Young Master Ye won’t have a problem with that.” Since Young Lady Ye’s here, how could he have a problem? Besides, he was already stopped by Young Lady Ye earlier when he asked that question. For once, he had to explain himself. That situation was a first for Xiao Su.

After hearing that, Mr. Zhou nodded, feeling at ease. He then continued with a smiley face, “That’s good to hear. I was fearing that it might have offended President Ye.”

“You guys continue. I’ll go in and help out first.” After seeing that Xiao Su was able to carry a conversation with her father, Yan headed toward the inside of the shop. Luo Huimei also followed suit. “Yan, let me help.”

Xiao Su stared blankly at Yan for a moment as she walked away. I’m not supposed to be here, especially after what she said to me. I should be staying away from her for some time. But… I couldn’t help it after hearing her name. I just had to be here with a gift. I don’t know what I’m doing, or if I’m doing it right… But I have to at least do something. Otherwise… it’d be over as far as I’m concerned.

Lifting his head, Mr. Zhou noticed that Xiao Su was staring blankly in a certain direction. So, he turned around and found out that it was the direction where his daughter went. He blinked as if he had just made a discovery.

“Miss Yan.” After Yan went in, the two helpers that she hired came up to greet her.

“Hello. Do carry on with your work.” After she said this, she started getting busy too. At this point, Luo Huimei came up to her and whispered, “That friend of yours is very lucky.”

“Huh?” These sudden words caught Yan off guard. She did not understand what her mother was saying. “Mom, what do you mean?”

“I’m talking about your friend, Muzi.”

“What about her?”

“Nothing. I’m just exclaiming. She married the right person.” Luo Huimei continued earnestly while standing next to Yan, “Your father always tells me how difficult President Ye is. He’s gorgeous and so well-off, yet your friend still has him wrapped around her finger. Tell me; isn’t she lucky?”

Yan was confused before she realized Luo Huimei was talking about Muzi. Even though Muzi looked happy right now, she used to go through so many hardships, and Yan knew all about them. But Yan did not plan on telling Luo Huimei about all that. Instead, she nodded, echoing her mother’s words. “Uh-huh. She’s lucky indeed.”

“For a woman, it’s exceedingly important who you marry. Marriage is like a woman’s second life; if she’s not married to the right one, it’s as if she’s thrown into a fire pit. Yan… if you were to find someone, please find someone like President Ye, who knows how to love and protect his wife.”

Yan did not pay too much attention to these words as they were fairly obvious. But… not everyone was equally lucky. She was not Han Muzi, and could never find her Ye Moxuan. After all, she had fallen for someone unattainable.

“Did you hear what I just said to you?”

“I did.”

“What are your thoughts?”

“What thoughts can I have? Mom, can’t you see what I am? I’m poor; I’m not pretty—I’ve got nothing…” At this point, Yan felt saddened, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Luo Huimei looked at her teary eyes and became startled. Realizing that she had somewhat lost control of herself, Yan quickly forced a smile on her face. “Alright. Mom, don’t worry about my marriage anymore. I’ll see what I can do.”

If she could let go of Han Qing one day, she would try to fall for someone else.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1062

The restaurant got extremely busy at noon. Word must have spread on the internet as people rushed over to see Little Bean. Several internet celebrities heard about the cute little waiter at the newly opened ramen restaurant and wanted to get in with the crowd. To their surprise, they found a ‘No Photos’ sign when they arrived at the restaurant. If anyone took his picture without permission, legal charges would be made against them.

There were internet celebrities who liked to do live broadcasts and many of them would even film people on the streets openly. While they simply treated those people as background in their broadcasts, some of them would even humiliate or take advantage of those people.

In this case with Little Bean, if Yan had not stopped them, they would have spread his pictures all over the internet, affecting his livelihood in the future. Though they were immensely disappointed when they found out they could not take pictures, they were still impressed by how cute Little Bean was and by the taste of the ramen.

…

Meanwhile, in a private room at a 6-star hotel, two men sat facing each other. There were only the two of them in the grandiose private room which made the room feel unusually spacious. However, their presence seemed to have filled up those empty spaces.

Lin Xuzheng poured himself half a glass of wine then swirled it gently in his hand. The light fell on the wine glass and created a shadow. He fell in a daze as he stared at it without taking a sip. After a while, he said, “That young lady’s new shop opened today. Aren’t you going to take a look?”

The chopsticks in the hand of the person sitting across from him paused for a moment before resuming. “Did you ask me out today to tell me that?” Han Qing looked up. His bleak gaze fell on Lin Xuzheng’s face.

That conscientious, cool-headed, and restrained attitude was as he always was. He looked calm—like a person who had achieved nirvana. If it were not because Lin Xuzheng had just helped him, he might have believed Han Qing was actually indifferent toward this. Now that he had found out Han Qing’s hidden secret, it was not as exciting anymore. Seeing his good friend in denial of this secret piqued his interest.

“Just wanted to remind you that you still owe me a favor.” Lin Xuzheng smirked meaningfully as he brought the glass close to his lips and slowly took a sip.

Han Qing frowned. “Do you have a driver?”

“No.”

“Don’t say I didn’t remind you. You can’t drink and drive.”

Lin Xuzheng continued to drink his wine slowly. “I haven’t lost my memory. I don’t need you to remind me.”

Han Qing’s frown deepened.

“Why? Since you owe me such a big favor, you can be my driver later, right?”

Again with the favors. Those words made Han Qing feel sick. He reached up to pinch between his eyebrows then looked down and ate some food.

Lin Xuzheng was not constantly bringing up favors for nothing. He just wanted to tease Han Qing. After all, they had been good friends for years, but it was the first time Han Qing had reached out to him. Not to mention, it was for a young lady.

Lin Xuzheng was satisfied to see Han Qing speechless and downed the whole glass of wine. Then, he poured more wine and swirled the glass in his hand again. “Tell me about it.”

There was no change in Han Qing’s behavior, and he did not answer him either.

Lin Xuzheng continued, “Are you feeling reluctant? Fine. I won’t force you. Then why don’t you tell me; do you like that young lady?”

Han Qing looked up at him, unamused. “When did you start becoming so nosy?”

“I’m just bored. You know I have nothing to do all day now, so what’s wrong with a little gossip?”

Han Qing pursed his lips. They had known each other for a long time. There was a time when Lin Xuzheng was devastated because of a woman, and he did not know how to comfort him. He started to lose himself and no longer cared for the company. After that, he became worse each day. However, their family had a strong background. Therefore, even if he lost himself, he did not do anything that harmed the company. Otherwise, the company would have gone bankrupt by now.

“Deal with your company business if you’re bored.”

“No. Dealing with the company is even more boring. Chatting and gossiping is still more meaningful.” Lin Xuzheng was smiling, but his smile did not reach his eyes. Han Qing knew that the scar in his heart would not heal that quickly, so he did not say anything more. Regardless of what Lin Xuzheng said after that, Han Qing just dismissed him.

Lin Xuzheng kept drinking. At some point, Han Qing could not bear to watch him any longer. “That’s enough. We’ll end it here today. I’ll ask the driver to send you home.” With that, he stood up and put on his coat.

Even though Lin Xuzheng had drunk a lot, his mind was still clear. After his wife passed away, he drowned himself in alcohol for some time. He drank to numb himself every day. Initially, his tolerance was not very high, so the alcohol was effective in knocking him out. But as the days and years went by, the alcohol did not work on him anymore. Drinking alcohol was like drinking water to him. Of course, that was just the mental side of it.

Alcohol damaged his body pretty badly, especially his digestive system. Lin Xuzheng lost count of the times he went to the hospital because of alcohol. He received special treatment each time, but he still never stopped drinking. While he wanted to die to be with his wife, he also cherished his life because his wife had sacrificed herself for him.

When Lin Xuzheng could no longer bear to think of the past anymore, he also stood up. “Okay, Let’s go. It’s rare to get our President Han to be my driver. You can’t refuse when I tell you where to go later.” He was already indulging in wishful thinking.

Han Qing pulled open the door with a dark expression. Both of them got in the elevator then got to the car. The driver was waiting for Han Qing downstairs. “President Han.”

“You can take my car back now, then come get me at his place later.”

“Yes, President Han.” The driver rushed off after receiving the order from Han Qing. After Lin Xuzheng gave Han Qing his keys, both of them got in the car.

“Let’s go. Take me to the young lady’s place.” As they got in the car, Lin Xuzheng immediately sat in the passenger seat. He looked completely drunk but was able to speak clearly. Han Qing was getting ready to drive when he stopped to look at him momentarily.

Lin Xuzheng smiled. “Why? Are you scared?”

Han Qing pursed his lips and clenched his jaw. His face started to grow colder.

“You’re a grown man. Why are you afraid of seeing a young lady? Han Qing, I’ve known you for so many years. How did I not know you still had moments like this?” Lin Xuzheng teased.

Han Qing’s face looked cold under the dim light in the car. “I’ll return the favor I owe you. But that is no reason to push me around, Lin Xuzheng. Even if you want to pull a prank, you should have some standards.”

“Huh? Are you getting angry?” Lin Xuzheng shook his head helplessly. “You’re so scary. But I think I’m quite lucky I get to see this side of my good friend. What do you think her reaction would be if I told her that you were the one who begged me to help her with this?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1063

It fell silent inside the car. Lin Xuzheng seemed to say those things on purpose to make Han Qing talk. A moment later, Han Qing took out his phone to make a call.

Lin Xuzheng narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing?”

“Calling a driver for you.”

Lin Xuzheng froze then let out an awkward laugh. “Is that necessary? I was just teasing. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

Han Qing ignored him and continued dialing the number. Left with no other choice, Lin Xuzheng reached out and pressed on the phone screen. “Can you stop making a fuss? My head hurts. Let’s just go home.”

Han Qing turned, then looked at him with a grim gaze and a bleak expression.

“Just remember that you still owe me a favor. You haven’t returned it yet. I’ll get you to repay me another time.” With that, Lin Xuzheng pulled his hand back and leaned back in the seat. He closed his eyes and looked exhausted.

Han Qing saw that Lin Xuzheng was having a hard time, so he did not fuss anymore. He kept his phone and continued driving.

The sky grew dark as time went by. When it reached dinner time, there were even more customers at the restaurant. Yan did not expect business to take off so well on the first day. She had been swamped all day and did not get a chance to eat. The two staff members also had their hands full. Even Luo Huimei and Mr. Zhou stayed back to help out.

Because Han Muzi was pregnant, they did not ask her to help and she did not insist either. However, that did not mean she could not ask someone else to fill her spot. She nudged Ye Moxuan beside her. “It looks really busy. Why don’t you help with serving the food?”

Ye Moxuan smirked. “Serving?” He almost did not want to believe his ears. I know Muzi asked me to… but really, serving food? He looked at Han Muzi intently with a questioning gaze.

But Han Muzi did not get his message. When their eyes met, she blinked innocently. “Go on.”

Ye Moxuan’s lips twitched. Mr. Zhou, who was watching from the side, quickly laughed. “Mrs. President Ye, you’re taking your joke too far. The fact that you and President Ye are here at this small shop is a great honor. If you help out…” Mr. Zhou dared not to think of it. How could we have President Ye serve food? He is the president of a big group! No one would ever do something like this.

When Han Muzi heard what Mr. Zhou said and saw that Ye Moxuan was still not moving, she seemed to have understood. She nodded. “Okay then. I’ll do it.” She started to get up.

Ye Moxuan frowned as he saw her get up and pulled her hand. She was almost four months pregnant and had started to show, but her winter clothes were thick and she naturally had a small figure so it was unnoticeable at the time. Still, they could not disregard the fact that she was pregnant. On top of that, her pregnancy was unstable, so Ye Moxuan was immensely worried about her. When he saw her getting up to go help, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down. Then, he got up himself. “Stay here.”

Han Muzi looked at him, unsatisfied. Ye Moxuan had a defenseless look in his eyes. His voice softened. “I’ll go.”

“Hm?”

“I’ll go serve. Are you happy now?”

Mr. Zhou’s jaw dropped in surprise. His mouth opened so wide that he could fit an egg in there.

“Mm.” Han Muzi nodded, as she was pleased. She said softly, “Do your best. We’ll go home after this.”

“Okay. Wait for me here.” He turned around and went in.

Once he left, Mr. Zhou stood up in a panicked state. He wanted to hold him back but was called back by Han Muzi. “Uncle Zhou, leave him be. It’s so busy right now. Having him help out is a no-brainer.”

But Mr. Zhou was still very anxious. “How can President Ye do something like this? No, this is not right, Mrs. President Ye. We should just let—”

“Uncle Zhou!” Han Muzi called out to him. “We’re Yan’s friends. It’s only normal that we help out at her newly opened restaurant. Plus, this isn’t the company so you don’t have to be so strict on that. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad.”

Since Han Muzi put it that way, Mr. Zhou decided not to say anymore and just nodded his head.

Ye Moxuan went into the kitchen immediately. Xiao Su was helping to wash the dishes and was slightly stunned to see Ye Moxuan come in. “Young Master Ye? Why are you here? Did something happen outside?”

Yan also looked up when she heard him.

Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows furrowed together as he pursed his lips tightly like he was debating something. After a while, he finally said, “Is there anything I can help with?”

When they heard him, the expression on their faces changed. Yan responded first. She shook her head and said, “There’s no need. We’ve got this. You should just accompany Muzi outside, Young Master Ye.”

Ye Moxuan stood where he was without moving. He knew that they were busy. If he went out now, Muzi might step up and help instead.

It was slightly awkward for Yan as he stood there without moving. She did not know what to say either. Xiao Su glanced at Yan then looked down and continued washing the dishes. It was actually his first time doing the dishes. Since he was by Young Master Ye’s side for so long, it seemed like there was nothing he could not do. Nonetheless, when he was in the kitchen, he was helpless. Still, he was a fast learner. Despite not being the best at it, he was not doing too poorly either. If the dish was not clean, then he just scrubbed it a few more times. At least he was sharing some of the workload so the rest of them could work on other things.

But Xiao Su had no clue what Young Master Ye could help with. He felt like Ye Moxuan’s presence would make it hard for everyone else to work properly if he just stood there. For example, the two hired female workers; since Ye Moxuan appeared, they kept staring at him and were even blushing slightly. Xiao Su was speechless at the sight.

On the other hand, Luo Huimei was not afraid to make Ye Moxuan work. After she observed the couple’s interaction earlier, she knew that Ye Moxuan had gone in because of Han Muzi. She was not fazed as she called out to him, “Moxuan, if you want to help, you can bring this bowl of noodles to Table 3 outside.”

Table 3? Ye Moxuan glanced at it then nodded. He picked up the dish and turned around with a nonchalant face.

“Mom, how could you…”

“Oh, don’t worry. He came in himself anyway. You would be wrong if you didn’t let him help out. Why do you think he came in in the first place?”

Yan pondered and seemed to have understood. Ye Moxuan came in, but Muzi did not. That probably meant that Muzi had asked him to come in.

“Since he wants to help out, just let him and don’t worry about it.”

Biting her bottom lip, Yan let out, “How can I not worry?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1064

The president from the great Ye Group was serving food at her small restaurant. She never thought something like that would ever happen. If it weren’t for Muzi… Since meeting Muzi, everything seemed to have changed. Yan lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Suddenly, Xiao Su said, “You don’t have to worry. There’s a reason Young Master Ye is doing this. He is very attentive to Young Lady Ye now. You don’t have to take responsibility.”

Yan knew that Ye Moxuan was doing this because of Han Muzi. But it was precisely because of Muzi, however, that she felt a bigger responsibility. “Mm.” She nodded and did not say any more.

Xiao Su looked at the side of her face and his lips twitched like he wanted to say something, but he eventually remained silent. Meanwhile, Luo Huimei saw everything clearly as she watched them.

In a short moment, Han Muzi saw a figure come out of the kitchen. He was carrying a serving tray with two bowls of noodles on it.

Han Muzi was dumbfounded. She knew that Ye Moxuan had gone in to help, but she had assumed that he would be assigned to wash vegetables at the back or the like; she did not expect that he would be out here serving instead. She blinked her eyes. The restaurant will start to get crowded again soon.

The two of them made eye contact for a moment. She clearly saw the defenseless look in his eyes, but there was also a hint of affection. His defenseless look was quickly overtaken by an affectionate look. Then, his lips moved as he said something to her. He did not make a sound, but she understood him.

“Did President Ye say something? What did he say? Is he angry?” Even though Han Muzi had consoled Mr. Zhou, he was still anxious. Therefore, his gaze had remained fixated on Ye Moxuan from the moment he walked out. In feudal times, it would look like Mr. Zhou was an official while Ye Moxuan was the ruler. A situation where the ruler had lowered himself to help the official’s daughter serve food seemed bizarre no matter how he saw it. While it felt like a dream, it was also shocking. He kept feeling like Ye Moxuan would burst into anger at any moment. But looking at Han Muzi’s smile, Mr. Zhou felt his fear ease slightly.

“It’s fine, Uncle Zhou. He won’t get angry.” Han Muzi did not tell Mr. Zhou what Ye Moxuan had said and simply lowered her head with a smile on her face.

Ye Moxuan did not speak out loud; only his lips moved but she understood what he said. He said, “Wait for me.”

Suddenly, Han Muzi heard several cries of alarm from inside the restaurant and turned toward the sound. Several girls had cried out helplessly after seeing the handsome Ye Moxuan. A few of them even started to blush.

Nonetheless, once Ye Moxuan finished serving the dishes, he turned around and left with a cold expression on his face.

“Oh my gosh. Are the waiters these days that handsome? Isn’t it such a waste to be a waiter with that face?”

“You’re overthinking. He obviously isn’t a waiter.”

“If he’s not a waiter, then what is he doing here?”

“Did you see the logo on his suit? That’s a well-known logo from Country I. That suit is definitely not cheap. How is it possible that he’s a waiter? His presence tells me that he’s a powerful person.”

“Then what is he doing here as a waiter?” Upon listening to her friend, the curious girl suddenly became dejected. “He sounds so cool. I thought he was just a handsome waiter and wondered if I could get with him.”

“Tsk. What are you girls fantasizing about? Handsome men like him usually have girlfriends already. If they don’t have a girlfriend, then they probably have a boyfriend.”

A few girls laughed amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan returned to the kitchen and continued serving dishes. Luo Huimei noticed that he was doing a good job, so she assigned that duty to him—all while having a wide smile on her face. She did feel like it was irrational to send someone like him to serve dishes because of his cold demeanor and presence that practically warned off strangers. But… he was handsome. Moreover, he and Little Bean looked so much alike. With both the big and small version of them out serving dishes, they would be the main attraction at this ramen restaurant. With that, business at the restaurant started to get more busy.

When Ye Moxuan turned around, fragments of his memory suddenly flashed across his mind. At the same time, several voices also rang in his ear.

‘Shen Qi, I’m warning you. You’re just my assistant.’

‘Help you? I just don’t want to disgrace the Ye Family. Do you understand?’

These words… Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows knitted together. I said them. Recently, he had spent time looking over the history of the both of them that Xiao Su had sent to him. But he was only aware of the events. He still did not know their conversations and the details between them. He only depended on the information he had and occasionally put things together. Furthermore, it was extremely draining to think of those things.

Sometimes, different fragmented memories flashed across his mind, but he never remembered them completely. However, the two sentences he heard earlier terrified him. That tone was so… How many infuriating things did I do to Muzi in the past?

The trivial matter seemed to have bogged him down and made his presence more cold and bitter. That did not scare off the customers; instead, it attracted more female customers. Those who greeted him but did not get a response still had their faces cupped in their hands.

“Oh, he’s so handsome I could die! I like men who look this cold and are overprotective only toward me. I want to rush at him!”

Ye Moxuan felt his head hurt a bit and reached up to pinch between his eyebrows as he walked down the stairs. At this moment, someone chased after him from behind. “Mister! Please wait for a moment.”

Ye Moxuan stopped in his tracks and turned back nonchalantly to look at that person. The person who chased after him was a young girl whose face was flushed. She was biting on her bottom lip as she looked at him nervously. “Um… My friend wants another order of beef ramen. Can you add that to the tab?”

He looked away and said coldly, “Sure.”

When the young girl got a reply from him, her eyes filled with delight. “You’re such a good person, Mister. Is it okay if—”

Ye Moxuan frowned as more fragments of his memory flashed across his eyes. The pain in his head worsened when the memories bombarded him and he was faced with nothing but darkness. Even so, the young girl was still chattering beside him. “I… No, my friend… thinks you’re really handsome. She wants to be friends with you. Is it okay if we add you on WeChat…”

“Actually, I just wanted—ah! Mister! Are you okay?”

Han Muzi and Mr. Zhou were in a conversation when they heard the young girl’s sudden cry from the second floor. Han Muzi jumped in shock. The cup of tea in her hand tilted slightly, and the boiling hot tea spilled over and burned her fair hand.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1065

Mr. Zhou was also frightened and stood up immediately. “Did you burn yourself?”

While Han Muzi looked at the slight redness on her palm, her heart was pounding furiously in her chest. She had an ominous premonition. Because she was sitting in a corner, her view was cut off from the staircase leading up to the second floor, so she did not know what had happened. “What happened on the second floor?”

The noise earlier also caught Mr. Zhou’s attention, but he was distracted by Han Muzi spilling the hot tea over her hand at the same time and focused all his attention on her. The person sitting in front of him was Mrs. President Ye. What would they do if she got hurt at his daughter’s shop?

Mr. Zhou shook his head. “I’m not too sure either. Do you think something happened? I’ll go take a look later. But your hand… Do you want to go and rinse it with some water? I can ask Yan to go buy you some medicine.”

“I’m fine.”

Han Muzi felt her heart beating furiously. Ye Moxuan did not look any different earlier, but she was still very worried. Mr. Zhou was sitting there with her, clueless about the situation as well. When she could not stop worrying and was unable to tend to her burned hand, she just stood up. “Uncle Zhou, I’m going to take a look at the situation. Sit here for a while.”

Mr. Zhou saw that she did not look good and also stood up. “T-Then, I’ll go with you.”

“Sure.”

But as soon as they got up and headed toward the staircase, they heard a girl scream, “Help! Someone help us. A man has passed out here!“

The words hit Han Muzi like a ton of bricks. She jumped up in shock and quickly walked over. When she saw the scene in front of her, she immediately froze in her spot.

“P-President Ye? What happened?” Mr. Zhou was in such a panic that he started stammering and his face also turned pale.

Just then, Yan came out to serve some food and heard the noise. “What happened?”

Upon seeing the scene, her face also turned pale white. She quickly ran over to see Han Muzi while fiddling with her phone. “Muzi. Don’t panic, okay? I’m calling an ambulance right now.”

Han Muzi grabbed Yan’s hand and looked at her. “An ambulance will arrive too late. Get Xiao Su to take us to the hospital now.”

“Okay. I’ll go get him.” Once Han Muzi gave the instructions to Yan, she quickly went up the stairs to help Ye Moxuan.

When the girl who was helping Ye Moxuan saw Han Muzi, she looked at her with a perplexed and hesitant gaze.

“Thank you for looking after him. Let me.” Han Muzi moved forward then bent down and held Ye Moxuan up. His face was pale, and he was sweating all over. He had a deep frown and looked like he was in great pain. Han Muzi silently wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and waited patiently, though she was in so much shock that her heart was about to pound out of her chest.

The girl who tried to strike up a conversation with Ye Moxuan earlier watched Han Muzi’s behavior quietly and came to a realization.

A moment later, Xiao Su rushed up the stairs. “Young Lady Ye. How is Young Master Ye?”

Han Muzi raised her head and her voice was calm. “Help me bring him to the car. We’ll go to the hospital now.”

“Got it.”

Several people helped to bring Ye Moxuan down the stairs. At that moment, Little Bean ran out of the kitchen. When he saw his father being carried out to the car by Xiao Su, his short legs paced quickly. “Mommy!”

Han Muzi heard Little Bean’s voice and turned around to look at him. She gently instructed, “Little Bean, I have to take Daddy to the hospital right now. Wait here in Aunt Yan’s restaurant for now and be good. I’ll call you later tonight, okay?”

Still, Little Bean was very worried. He thought of telling her that he also wanted to tag along, but he knew that if he went, she would be all over the place trying to take care of him too. In the end, Little Bean nodded his head obediently and said, “Okay. Stay safe, Mommy. I’ll wait for your call.”

Everyone was caught off guard by that short incident at the restaurant. Luo Huimei only found out later about what had happened. When she came out, they were already gone. She saw her daughter looking low-spirited and walked over to her. “What happened, Yan?” Luo Huimei held her and asked.

Yan felt her heart ache as she told her what happened. “I wanted to go with them, but Muzi didn’t agree with it. She wanted me to stay here and resume business. But she didn’t consider that after something like that happened, I wouldn’t be able to work anymore. What should I do, Mom?”

Luo Huimei pondered as she looked at the few customers left in the restaurant. Blinking her eyes, she said, “If today wasn’t the first day you opened, then closing the shop now wouldn’t matter. But you still need to keep your business running going forward. If you close it now, then—”

Mr. Zhou cut in, “Why do you care about that now? President Ye was just sent to the hospital, and he even helped out so much today. It would be fine if we closed the ramen restaurant now. If they like our food, waiting a day or two won’t be a big deal.”

Yan nodded in agreement. “That’s what I think too, Mom. I won’t be able to stand it if we just stayed here.”

“No. There are still so many people here. Do you want to just chase them out? Zhou, can you look at the bigger picture? Do you think you’re the only one worried about President Ye going to the hospital? We’re all in the same boat. My heart is not made out of steel. My point is, what can you do even if you go to the hospital now? Muzi left Little Bean in our care. What do you think that means?”

“It doesn’t matter what we can or can’t do at the hospital. It’s the thought that counts.”

“Really? If you can’t help then don’t bother about being thoughtful. There are doctors at the hospital. His wife and assistant are by his side. We should just focus on looking after Little Bean. We can put up the sign in our shop. It doesn’t matter if we stopped business now, but we still can’t chase people out.”

Yan was already frustrated. Yet, her parents were arguing in front of her, which made her head hurt. She cut them off, “Okay. Let’s stop accepting customers now and just deal with the people who are still here. Then, we can bring Little Bean along to the hospital.” If I go now, there is really nothing I can do. However, not going at all was not an option for her. She decided to deal with her shop first then go to the hospital afterward.

Once Yan saw the last customer off, she took her apron off and said to Little Bean, “Little Bean, it’s a bit late now. How about you don’t go to the hospital with me?”

Little Bean shook his head. “I’m not tired at all, Aunt Yan.”

Well, his daddy is in the hospital, and Little Bean is a smart child. How can he fall asleep now? I’ll just take him to the hospital with me.

Mr. Zhou wanted to go with them but got held back by Luo Huimei. “You were just discharged from the hospital today and you can’t move about freely yet. Why do you want to go with them? Your daughter will still have to take care of you there. Won’t you just be giving her more trouble?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1066

Mr. Zhou was not pleased with her remarks. “Listen to yourself. I was only discharged because there is nothing wrong with me anymore. Why do I need my daughter to take care of me while I’m there? Plus, how can I not go when something this big has happened to President Ye?”

“Enough. It’s enough that Yan is there. You’ll just cause more trouble if you go.”

Mr. Zhou was speechless. He waved his hand in displeasure. He wanted to go against her, but he did not know how to deal with her either.

Yan, who had been listening at the side, consoled, “Mom is right, Dad. It won’t be convenient for you to go now that it’s so late. I’ll still have to find a way to send you home later. It’ll be very troublesome to go back and forth. Wait until tomorrow if you’re really worried about Young Master Ye. Rest tonight and go to the hospital tomorrow.” Without waiting for his response, Yan carried her bag and took Little Bean’s hand.

“Sorry for troubling you with the shop, Mom, Dad. I’ll head off to the hospital with Little Bean now.”

Little Bean waved at them. Yan had just walked out of the door of the shop and got ready to start the car when she saw a familiar figure in front of her. “Xiao Su? What are you doing here?” Shouldn’t he be at the hospital now?

When Xiao Su heard her voice, he turned around and gave a warm smile. “I knew you would be worried, so I came back to get you guys when I had time.” He said ‘you guys’ and not ‘you’, so he would not burden Yan. Moreover, she was rushing to go to the hospital but she did not know which hospital it was. It was convenient to have someone bring her there; she did not have to make any phone calls either. “Get in the car.”

After they got in the car, Yan placed Little Bean next to her. The weather was still cold lately, so she worried that Little Bean would catch a cold. She even checked him over several times before they left. “You can lie on my lap and sleep for a while if you’re tired. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”

Little Bean rubbed his eyes. “I’m not tired, Aunt Yan.”

Yan smiled at him affectionately, then cradled his head. “Good boy.” She snapped her head up as she remembered something. “Wait. If you’re here, then isn’t Muzi at the hospital by herself? She’s pregnant. How—”

“I wouldn’t do something so irresponsible. Someone is with Young Lady Ye now.” Otherwise, how could I just run out of there like that? It was only because someone was looking after Young Lady Ye that Xiao Su left the hospital.

Someone is with her? “Who?” Only the three of them left earlier. If Xiao Su is here now, then who else is there with Muzi? A name appeared in her mind. It must be him. He always took great care when it came to Muzi.

Xiao Su, who was driving at the front, suddenly fell quiet at her question. He responded to her a while later, “Han Qing.”

Han Qing. Those two words hit her at the same time. She looked out the window and did not speak anymore. I already decided to avoid him. Who knew I would bump into him again later? However, she was there to see Muzi and Young Master Ye. It did not matter to her who else was there. She just had to act like nothing was wrong.

Since that person’s name was mentioned, it fell silent in the car for a long time. Xiao Su felt slightly agonized. He knew that that name had other implications for her. Why did I bring him up? But she did ask me so I had to answer her. Am I too dumb? He remained awkward all the way to the hospital until they got out of the car. “I’ll take you guys up.”

“Don’t worry too much. The doctor says he’s fine now so rest assured.” Along the corridor in the hospital, Han Qing was still comforting his sister.

Han Muzi smiled at him and nodded. “Mm.”

Seeing her like that made Han Qing frown. “You don’t have to be strong and force a smile in front of me.”

“I’m not, Qing. I’m just worried about him.” Even though the doctor said there were no major issues with him, he still needed to be under observation for 24 hours. However, the most crucial bit was that they did not know when he would wake up. Under observation for 24 hours. Everyone knew what that meant. They’re saying that within the next 24 hours, Ye Moxuan’s condition might change again. They just don’t know what will happen. Whether it’ll be good or bad.

Feeling exhausted, Han Muzi shut her eyes.

“I’ll send you home tonight and have Mr. Nan bring you back to the hospital early tomorrow morning.”

“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “I want to stay here and be with him.”

“Muzi,” Han Qing said her name in a stricter tone. “You’re pregnant, and it’s cold today. He has to be observed for 24 hours. Do you really want to stay here with him for 24 hours?”

“Yes.” She nodded her head with no hesitation. Han Qing was exasperated and wanted to say something when she suddenly stood up. “I’m sorry, Qing. But I don’t want to go back. Stop trying to convince me. I’m going to the bathroom.” With that, she walked straight to the women’s bathroom without looking back. Han Qing could not go in with her, so he just leaned against the wall and waited for her.

Thud, thud, thud. Several sets of urgent and disordered footsteps were heard. Han Qing turned his head slightly to the side. The figures of three people were now in the corridor that was empty just a moment ago.

Xiao Su was in front while Yan was at the back holding Little Bean’s hand. The three of them made their way toward him in a uniform manner. The light pulled Yan’s and Xiao Su’s shadows together into one. Seeing that, Han Qing’s deep eyes narrowed and a sense of hostility flashed across his eyes briefly.

Yan already decided to go to Muzi the moment she arrived, but she did not expect to see Han Qing alone in the empty corridor—his tall and sturdy body leaning against the wall looked rather lonely. She only took one glance at him then quickly looked away to find Han Muzi.

Even though she did not see Han Muzi, she did not ask Han Qing about it. On the other hand, Little Bean, who was beside her, took his cue and called out, “Uncle Qing.”

“Mm.” Han Qing nodded and explained, “Your mommy went to the bathroom.”

“Uncle Qing. How is my daddy?”

“He’s still in there. He needs to be under observation for 24 hours.” His voice and tone were monotonous. There was not a bit of emotion in them.

Xiao Su and Han Qing made eye contact momentarily before they broke it off. Han Qing pursed his lips and was unsure of where to look. The awkward silence from the car earlier was now in the corridor.

Little Bean became mentally tired as he looked at the three adults in front of him. After he made Aunt Yan sad, he did not dare to speak or do anything carelessly anymore. He used to think he was very clever, but now he realized he was completely clueless when it came to adults’ feelings and emotions.

Hmph! Bad Daddy. Why is he in the hospital now when he was fine earlier? Moreover, Mommy is not here either…

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1067

Fortunately, Han Muzi returned shortly after. When they saw Muzi, Yan and Little Bean looked like tadpoles who found their mother. They quickly went up to her and clung to her.

“Muzi.”

“Mommy.”

After going to the bathroom to wash her face and calm herself down, Han Muzi did not expect to come out seeing Yan and Little Bean. She was stunned for a moment but quickly pulled herself back together. Yan’s arrival was completely unexpected. Although she wanted to tag along earlier, Muzi had stopped her. Who knew she would still come?

“Your new shop just opened today. Is it okay for you to just come running here like this?”

Yan frowned and sounded unhappy. “Muzi. Stop worrying about the shop. That’s not important right now.”

Han Muzi smiled faintly. “How is it not important? It wouldn’t be so bad if it was a regular day, but today is—”

“Okay, enough. If something happens to the shop, I can always deal with it later. But you’re alone. How can I not come over to see you after what happened? We already know Young Master Ye’s condition. I’ll sit with you over there for a while.” Yan pointed to the seats at the side. Han Muzi nodded without resisting.

The three of them sat down. Perhaps it was their lucky day. Little Bean was extra obedient and quiet. Other than hugging his mother’s arm and comforting her, he did not say anything else. With the two men standing at a side and the three of them sitting down, the atmosphere quickly became quiet again. They did not know when Ye Moxuan would wake up, nor what to do next. But, leaving was definitely not an option for any of them. Just like that, each second and each minute ticked by.

They sat around as the temperature dropped even more. Yan was feeling cold but she did not dare to show it. After all, she was most worried about Muzi. She’s pregnant. Yan started, “Muzi. How about—”

“You don’t need to bring it up or say anything. I’m not going back.”

“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Yan smiled. “I’m not telling you to go home. How would I not know you after all these years? I wanted to say; since Young Master Ye still has to stay here after his observation, why don’t we book a room next to his? There’s a bed in the hospital room so you can sleep for the night.”

“I think that’s a good idea, Young Lady Ye. Your body is weak. Plus, it’s currently the coldest time. It’s not night yet so it will get even colder later. If something happens to you and Young Master Ye wakes up, it’d be tough for us to inform him.”

That is true. The temperature in the corridor is indeed low. I’m afraid that it’ll get even colder as we go into the night. I can bear it but the baby inside my belly can’t. Yan and Little Bean are also here. I can’t let the three of them suffer with me.

Han Muzi nodded. “Okay, then. Let’s do that.”

It was a private room because they wanted a VIP room. The interior was decorated nicely. There was air conditioning and hot water too. But nobody brought a fresh change of clothes, so they did not bother to shower. When Han Muzi entered the room, she looked back at Xiao Su and Han Qing.

Han Qing and Xiao Su looked at each other, then said, “We’ll keep watch throughout the night. You can rest comfortably.”

She nodded her head finally and looked at them with a look of gratitude.

“I’ll bring a blanket over for you guys later.” Yan naturally followed Han Muzi into the hospital room.

When they were gone, Xiao Su said, “You still have to go to work tomorrow, President Han. Leave this to me.”

“It’s fine,” Han Qing replied nonchalantly.

Xiao Su glanced at him and did not say anything in the end. Then, the two men put up with keeping watch for the night.

In the hospital room, the three of them had lain down but they had not fallen asleep. Han Muzi was worried about Ye Moxuan. She covered herself with the blanket and had her eyes closed, but her mind and head were in chaos. She was tired, but whenever she fell asleep, she dreamt of Ye Moxuan lying in the emergency room and she quickly woke up again.

Little Bean was sleeping with Yan. He wanted to sleep with his mother. But after thinking about it, his mother was pregnant and he did not want to hurt her. Therefore, he decided to sleep with Aunt Yan instead. The lights were not turned off. The two of them lay facing each other, side by side. A pair of big eyes looked at a pair of small eyes.

After some time had passed, Yan suddenly reached out and cradled Little Bean’s head. She said in a low voice, “Hurry and sleep.”

Little Bean blinked and looked at her with an exceptionally innocent expression. He did not speak, but he did not close his eyes either. Yan looked in the direction where Han Muzi was and still felt slightly worried. Alas, she sighed helplessly on the inside. “Fine. If you don’t want to sleep, then don’t sleep. But if you get tired later, you have to sleep.” She could not fall asleep herself, much less Little Bean.

At that, Little Bean nodded his head in reply. The both of them stared at each other in silence. Suddenly, Yan heard a rustling sound. She turned to follow the sound and found that Han Muzi had gotten out of bed.

“Muzi?” Yan immediately turned over and got out of bed. “What is it? Is something wrong?”

Seeing Yan’s anxious state, Han Muzi explained, “I just remembered. Both of them will get cold in the corridor so I wanted to bring a blanket over for them.” Han Muzi gathered the blanket but Yan blocked her way. “You were already lying down, and you’re wearing so few layers. I’ll do it.”

“But—”

“You’re pregnant. You have to take care of yourself. It’s so cold outside. What will happen to the baby if you catch a cold? I’m not the same as you. I’ll go.” Yan snatched the blanket from Han Muzi’s hands then turned around as she urged Little Bean, “Little Bean, you have to look after your mommy, okay? Don’t let her run about.”

Han Muzi was baffled. Why is everyone treating me like a child since I got pregnant?

When Little Bean received this order, he immediately sat up and stared at Han Muzi. “You’re not allowed to go out, Mommy.”

Even though Han Muzi was having a hard time, the both of them inadvertently made her laugh.

In the corridor, Xiao Su and Han Qing were standing separately. Since Han Muzi and Yan left, they were still unable to find a place to sit. Yan was slightly astonished to see them when she came out. I know they’re men, but they’re also human. Aren’t they tired from standing for so long?

After being in the room for so long, it felt really cold outside. When a gust of cold wind passed, Yan instinctively shrank her neck back in. Just then, Xiao Su saw her and frowned. “Why are you out here?”

Yan gave a small smile and walked up to them. She said softly, “I came to give you guys a blanket. It’s freezing outside. Cover yourselves with this blanket if you feel cold. Don’t catch a cold.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1068

The two of them came closer, and Xiao Su reached out to grab the blanket. Yan could feel the coolness from Xiao Su’s body when they were close. After picking up the blanket, his fingertips accidentally touched Yan’s. Compared to hers, his fingertips were as cold as ice. Yan’s fingertips were a little warm which was very pleasing.

She seemed to notice something and immediately retracted her hands. He was stunned and took over the blanket as if nothing had happened. Initially, she took two blankets, one for each of them. She did not want to have any interaction with Han Qing, so she just passed them both to Xiao Su and asked him to help her pass one to him.

“Do you need me to get you a glass of warm water from the room?” she asked.

Xiao Su rejected her offer after taking a glance at her skinny and weak shoulders.

“No, it’s fine. The blankets will do. It’s cold at night, so go back and get some rest soon. You should stay indoors.”

Yan did not say much since he had already said so. She only nodded before turning around and leaving. Since she came out, she did not even give Han Qing a single glance, nor did she have any interaction with him.

After Yan left, Xiao Su turned his head and glanced at the slender figure leaning over there. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows while his eyes were dark and unclear. His tightly pressed thin lips made his lower jaw look stern and powerful. Xiao Su was uncertain of his senses as he felt that Han Qing was covered with a layer of hostility. It was none of his business whether he was sensing it rightly or wrongly. After all, Han Qing was the one who rejected Yan.

Upon thinking about this, Xiao Su threw the blanket at him. Han Qing reached out to grab it expressionlessly.

“President Han, you should be happy with this since, from now on, she won’t be pestering you.” Xiao Su could not help but grill him after passing the blanket to him.

Honestly, he felt bad for Yan’s attitude deep down as it showed that she had not forgotten about Han Qing. If she no longer cared about Han Qing, she could just pass the blanket to him directly and leave. However, she did not even give Han Qing a look, which showed that she still cared about him very much. She mentioned she wanted to sort out her feelings during this period. However, Xiao Su knew better than anyone else that when you love someone… letting go was not as easy as one imagined.

Upon hearing the other’s words, Han Qing raised his deep eyes to look at Xiao Su as his thin lips were still pursed. It was as if his words were made of gold, and he did not reply. Won’t pester me anymore… She does look like she has been doing well since the last time we met.

Previously, she had greeted him as if nothing had happened. It was better now since she did not even bother to look at him. Han Qing suppressed all the emotions and expressions in his eyes. It’s fine like this. He closed his eyes while holding onto the blanket Xiao Su passed to him. There was a glimpse of heavy anxiety between his eyes.

Yan went back to the ward and saw that the two people inside were still wide awake after she closed the door. She smiled while walking to them. “The two of you haven’t slept yet?”

Little Bean shook his head. “I’m watching Mommy to prevent her from running around.”

Han Muzi was speechless at his words.

“Okay, you’ve found yourself a good excuse. Why don’t you just stay up all night and watch over her?”

“But Aunt Yan…”

“Fine, quickly go to sleep and don’t wander around anymore. Do you plan to wake up tomorrow?”

Little Bean took a glance at Han Muzi, then looked at Yan quietly. After that, he crawled into his bed and covered his blanket. Hmph, I’ll just go to sleep.

Han Muzi and Yan exchanged looks as they watched Little Bean go to bed.

“You’d better sleep early since you’re already pregnant. Don’t think too much. Young Master Ye will be fine when you wake up later.” Yan comforted her.

Han Muzi did not want them to worry about her. She used her hands to rub her eyes, saying, “Okay, I’m getting sleepy now. I’ll hit the sack. You’re right. Maybe he’ll be awake when I’m up.”

Time passed quicker when one was sleeping. It would be unbearable to stay awake.

The hospital was exceptionally quiet at night. Han Muzi kept hypnotizing herself. Her eyes were heavy, but she did not feel sleepy at all. She eventually fell asleep without knowing how long had passed. It was already the next morning when she heard noises. The sound of birds came from outside the window. A group of birds were chirping cheerfully on the big trees outside the hospital. It filled the lifeless ward with a trace of energy.

Han Muzi did not realize she had been so deeply asleep. She opened her eyes and realized that it was already shining brightly outside. I wonder what Ye Moxuan’s condition is now. Is he awake already? Upon thinking about this, she immediately removed her blanket and went to put on her clothes.

As her movements were probably too loud, she woke Yan up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze. “Muzi?”

Han Muzi looked at her and realized she was looking around in a daze as if she had forgotten everything that happened last night. She seemed to only remember something after observing her surroundings for a moment and wanted to immediately wake up but was afraid of waking Little Bean who was sleeping beside her.

Yan could only move cautiously while she slowly got out of bed and put on her sweater and jacket.

“What’s the time now?” Yan walked to Han Muzi after she dressed up and heard her ask. She then took out her phone to look at the time. “It’s 6:30am now. I’m not sure how the two of them were last night.”

Yan was initially worried, but she went to sleep because she was too sleepy when it was late at night. It was cold the entire night, so she was not sure how they were doing. “Muzi, you go get changed; I’ll go out to take a look.”

“Okay.”

Yan left hurriedly. She planned to take the shift as she was already awake while Xiao Su and Han Qing had already stayed up all night. After this, they should go get some rest while she would take over from them. Of course, she would still not talk to Han Qing. She would just inform Xiao Su later when she saw him and ask him to pass her message to Han Qing on her behalf.

Unexpectedly, Yan only saw a figure at the long bench along the corridor as she arrived. Handsome and cold—the figure was giving off an extremely calm aura. Han Qing.

She did not know where Xiao Su went. Seeing this, Yan gulped subconsciously and forgot everything she thought about just now. Since Xiao Su was not around, she might as well leave first. However… her footsteps had sounded when she walked over just now. If she turned around and left now, would it not be…

Yan remained on the spot due to hesitation. She stood at the same spot while looking at the man who was not far away from her. His figure and the side of his face were so familiar to her. It was this face that kept her tossing and turning in so many of her dreams. In the past, she would want to get close to him when she saw him and say a few words to prove her existence to him, but now… she was evasive, though, there was nowhere for her to escape to.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1069

Thinking about this makes me sad. Although Yan was merely standing in place, a war had broken out in her heart.

It was unknown how many battles were fought, but just as she decided to retreat and leave the spot, Han Qing moved, and he swept a gaze toward Yan. Initially, he just glanced over casually without any intention and looked away. After he retracted his gaze, the handsome man paused for a moment before casting his gaze over again. He acted as if he wanted to confirm something.

Although the two were a little far away, Yan had good eyesight so she could see all of Han Qing’s movements clearly. She was certain that he had already seen her, so she had no chance at all. Sigh. If she had known this then she would not have overthought it. She should have just turned around. Now…

Yan bit the bullet and walked over. She raised her hand to Han Qing blankly as the corners of her mouth curved upward. “Good morning, President Han. Where’s Xiao Su?”

When Han Qing saw the girl walking toward him, he was a little surprised because based on the previous two scenarios, he thought that she would definitely turn around and run away after bumping into him. Unexpectedly, she started walking toward him. The color of Han Qing’s eyes inexplicably darkened a little. However, soon enough, it felt like a basin of cold water was poured down onto his head. She was approaching him, but when she spoke to him, she was being very polite. “Good morning President Han, where’s Xiao Su?”

She not only called him ‘President Han’, but she was also asking about Xiao Su. It felt as if something had stabbed his chest, and it ran into his heart and limbs. Then, he heard his own voice asking her, “Are you guys together now?”

Yan was speechless. She had bit the bullet to come over and it was not easy for her to muster the courage to talk to him. In fact, she had also thought about how she should address him. There were too many words if she addressed him as Mr. Han, so instead she called him President Han like everyone else. Then, she thought that he might not even be bothered to reply to her. Judging from his temper, he probably would only hum and nod in response. Unexpectedly, he had spat out such a response. Are you guys together now? Yan was feeling lost and confused. What does that mean?

Yan was confused and dazed at first, then she finally understood. Han Qing was asking if she and Xiao Su were together. Why? Was it because she had asked about Xiao Su’s whereabouts when she came over?

Just when Yan was about to reply, Han Qing got up and passed the blanket in his hand to her. His voice was cold when he said, “I’m just casually asking. You don’t have to answer. Also, thank you for the blanket last night.”

Yan subconsciously reached out her hand to take it.

“He’s in the bathroom. He should be coming out soon. The company is having a meeting in the morning, so I’ll be leaving first. Please notify Muzi for me.” After speaking, Han Qing turned around and left while acting as if nothing had happened.

Looking at his tall back, Yan subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to explain that there was nothing between her and Xiao Su. Although her mouth was open, her throat was dry and numb. She was unable to make a single sound. Holding the blanket in her hand that was still warm, Yan just looked at his back as he walked away. Her hand was hanging weakly by her side. She was feeling bitter in her heart. Forget it. What’s there to explain? Even if I was with Xiao Su, it’s not like he would care.

If he cared, it would only be because he wanted her to find someone else as soon as possible so that she would not bother him. He could only be concerned about this. It seemed that she had thought too much earlier. She was even scared off by the ridiculous thoughts in her heart. She was really stupid. That man had already rejected her so many times, so she should have understood it already.

When Xiao Su came out of the bathroom, he saw the girl standing in a daze in front of the bench and started to smile unconsciously. He thought of walking over to greet her. Alas, he saw that the girl’s eyes were slightly red. Xiao Su stopped mid-step and simply stood still. Then, he saw Yan holding a blanket in her hand which looked familiar, but it was not the one that he had last night.

Soon enough, Xiao Su figured out who the blanket belonged to. The corridor was empty, and only Yan was left there. That person’s figure had long disappeared. Seeing this scene, Xiao Su could not help clenching his fists that were by his side.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Yan heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. She finally recovered and blinked her eyes vigorously. Then, she regained her original mood.

“You’re awake?” A slightly hoarse male voice sounded from behind. Yan turned around and was met with Xiao Su’s gaze. There was a warm smile on his lips, and even his eyes were full of tenderness. “Did you sleep well last night?”

The warmth of his eyebrows was the opposite of Han Qing’s coldness. Yan did not feel too bad, so she just nodded. “It was alright. How about you? The corridor was cold, wasn’t it? You must be tired after standing watch all night long. You can go back and rest first. I’ll stay here.”

Xiao Su smiled faintly. “No, it’s my duty to watch over Young Master Ye. There’s no such thing as getting tired. We can buy breakfast downstairs. What do you want to eat?”

“You…” Yan raised her eyebrows. “You’re really not going back to rest?”

“How does a steamed bun and soy milk sound?”

“It’s really unnecessary. You’ve been on guard all night, so you should go back and rest,” Yan said.

“Then it’s settled.” After Xiao Su was done talking, he planned to go buy breakfast. Yan’s expression changed as she hurried to catch up to him. “You really don’t need to entertain us. Plus, even if someone needs to go buy breakfast, that person should be me. You should go rest.” While talking, Yan was worried that he would step forward again. As such, she stretched out her hands to grab his shirt.

This action did not mean anything in Yan’s eyes. After all, she was just grabbing his clothes, not his bare flesh. However, this was a big move for Xiao Su. He stopped, turned his head, and stared at her hands that were holding on to the corner of his shirt. However, he said nothing.

Yan quickly realized what he was looking at and reacted with hindsight. She instantly retracted her hands before dryly saying, “Sorry, I’m just anxious; that’s all. After all, you stayed up the entire night. I… I slept in for so long, so I can’t be doing nothing.”

“It’s fine, I’m just buying breakfast. Just wait with a peace of mind.”

This time, when he left again, Yan did not follow after him. She stood there for a while before returning to the chair and sitting down. It was only then that she realized that she was still holding the blanket that Han Qing had handed her. Seeing this, Yan’s eyes darkened again.

“Where’s my brother and Xiao Su?” When Yan was in a daze, a voice suddenly sounded from above her head. She recovered and found that Han Muzi had come out. “Xiao Su went to buy breakfast. Your brother… has returned to the company.”

Noticing that something was wrong when Yan mentioned Han Qing, Han Muzi did not ask any more questions but only looked in the direction of the ward. “Where’s Moxuan? He hasn’t woken up yet?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1070

After hearing this, Yan came back to her senses. What am I doing? Young Master Ye is still lying there and hasn’t woken up, but I’m just sitting here feeling sorry for myself? I’m being too selfish!

Yan, who had recovered, quickly spoke to Han Muzi, “Muzi, don’t worry. Although Young Master Ye hasn’t woken up yet, the doctor has not sent any notice. That means that Young Master Ye has safely passed this critical period.”

Although Han Muzi’s brows were still furrowed, she still smiled at Yan’s comforting words. “Yeah, a night has already passed by so quickly. We’ll get to 24 hours very soon.” Although one could not know what would happen after the 24 hours was up, Han Muzi only needed Ye Moxuan to safely pass this observation period.

After that, the surroundings became quiet again. Xiao Su was quick in buying breakfast and came back soon enough. “Young Lady Ye.”

Han Muzi nodded at him and saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hands. Just when she wanted to come forward to help, Yan got up and passed by her. Xiao Su had bought breakfast for all of them, but Han Muzi had no appetite at all. She only drank a cup of milk hastily, and under Yan’s request, she ate a sandwich.

“That’s more like it; how are you going to grow a belly if you’re not eating?” Yan started munching on a steamed bun she took while drinking her soya milk.

After that, Han Muzi looked at Xiao Su. “You’ve spent the whole night here. After breakfast, you can go back to rest. Yan, you can go with Xiao Su as well.”

Hearing this, Yan’s eyes suddenly widened. “Go with him? Why? I won’t go. I’ll stay with you here.”

“Don’t make a fuss. It’s your restaurant’s second day of business. If you don’t go, how will you still be able to run the business after this?”

Yan said, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t open the restaurant for a day or two. It’s the same if I open shop again a few days later. As long as my noodles are delicious, customers will still come. If they don’t want to come, then it’s their loss.”

“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “You have to go.”

“No way! What will you do when I go back? You’re a pregnant woman in the hospital all by yourself. How can I not be worried? No matter what you say today, I won’t leave!”

Han Muzi was speechless. She looked at Xiao Su on the side and motioned with her eyes, hoping that he could help persuade Yan.

Xiao Su smiled bitterly when he received the message from the young lady. The two of them were good sisters but the young lady still could not persuade Yan. Moreover, he was but a sub-par person in her eyes, what right did he have to advise her? However, Xiao Su did not fail Han Muzi.

“Since Young Lady Ye is asking you to go back, then you should just go back. I think what she said is correct. It wasn’t easy for you to open this restaurant, and if you close the restaurant on the second day, you’ll lose a lot of customers.”

“If I lose customers then so be it.” Yan effectively blocked him with a single sentence. “What I’ll be losing is my customer base, not yours. Don’t meddle in this.”

Xiao Su did not know how to respond. Alright, I better not say anything else that’ll annoy the girl. After all, this girl has a bad temper.

Han Muzi was a little sympathetic toward Xiao Su after seeing him get retorted by Yan after saying that. She even thought about how Xiao Su would be if he managed to get together with Yan. Probably… he would be dominated by Yan? At this rate, he might not even dare to talk back to her, and he’d do whatever she asks him to! Thinking about this, it all seemed very interesting.

The corners of Han Muzi’s lips curled up subconsciously. “Don’t be so fierce.”

Pursing her lips, Yan replied, “How am I being fierce? Muzi, you have double standards.” Han Muzi used to be fiercer than her, but she was now criticized for being fierce herself.

Double standards? Han Muzi recalled for a while and realized that she had indeed been quite fierce before. It seemed that she had no right to call out Yan like this. Smiling helplessly, she whispered, “I’ve already called to tell Grandpa about this. He’ll be coming with Song An today and will be here all day long, so… you can go back and manage the restaurant with peace of mind.”

Hearing that others were coming, Yan’s heart relaxed. “Is that true? You’re not lying to me, right?”

“What’s there for me to lie about? With him already in this state, do you think that his grandfather and aunt still won’t come over to see him?”

Yan thought that it made sense. “Now that you mentioned it, it’s impossible that they won’t come. But…” She was still a little worried.

“Alright, you should go back and take care of the restaurant. If you’re still worried, you can come back at night. I won’t stop you, but I have something that I need to trouble you with.”

“What is it?”

“When you leave later, take Little Bean with you to your restaurant.”

Hearing this, Yan frowned. “Why? Isn’t it good to have him stay here and accompany you?”

“Little Bean is still young, so I don’t want him to see these sorts of things. It’s best if you don’t bring him over even at night.”

Yan did not know what to say.

“I’m depressed right now, and I’m afraid it’ll affect his mood too much, so…”

“I understand what you mean; don’t worry. If that’s the case, then I’ll bring him over to the restaurant with the excuse of it being busy.”

“Thank you, Yan.”

“What’s there to thank between us? I’m just happy that you’re willing to place your trust in me.”

Later, when Yan was about to leave, she took Little Bean and they left together. Xiao Su was responsible for sending them back. Initially, Little Bean was unwilling to leave, but when he heard that Great-grandfather and Grandaunt Song were coming to the hospital, he reluctantly left with Yan.

When everyone had left, the surroundings became quiet. Han Muzi sat alone in a chair in the corridor with a phone in her hand. Song An had sent her a message in the morning, saying that she would arrive at the hospital on time at 8am. It’s almost 8am now. Let me just sit down for a while.

However, the doctor came before Han Muzi managed to wait for the arrival of Song An and Yuchi Jin. He looked relieved after asking about the status of the patient. He smiled at Han Muzi as he saw that she was still nervous. “Mrs. Ye, right? Don’t be too nervous. As long as Mr. Ye gets through this period, there should be no danger. Furthermore, I’ve made observations and can say that there are no major problems with him. Did you spend the night here?”

Han Muzi shook her head. “No, my friends were standing guard here last night. They’ve all gone back to rest now.”

“Okay. Your complexion isn’t looking too good. Even if you’re worried about your husband, you must pay more attention to your body.”

“Thank you, doctor. May I ask; after this critical period, will he wake up? Or will the critical period only be considered to have passed after he wakes up?” Han Muzi knew that the doctor was very busy and might not have time to listen to her talk nonsense, but she could not help herself from asking these questions. She could only ask, and only after getting an affirmative answer would she be able to relax.

Nevertheless, the doctor did not get impatient after listening to her question. Instead, he stretched out his hand and lifted his glasses before saying softly, “Mrs. Ye, since you’re asking that, let me tell you the truth. It’s not our first time coming across Mr. Ye’s current situation, but the cases are always different.”
