Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1081
As for her, she always tried to preserve her energy by moving forward one step at a time. Then, she was able to use her energy effectively to boost her chances of reaching the top.
Seeing Han Muzi smiling without saying anything, Yan pursed her lips unhappily. “This is unfair! This is unfair!”
Xiao Su couldn’t bear watching Yan like this, so he explained to her himself.
After listening to his explanation, Yan finally understood, but she immediately projected her embarrassment and rage on him. “So, the two of you knew about this. Then, why did you not remind me from the start? Do you not feel bad watching me waste all of my energy?” It wasn’t enough for her to only use her mouth, so Yan started to hit Xiao Su with her limbs.
A smile crossed Xiao Su’s lips as he felt resigned yet satisfied. With caring eyes, he then gazed at Yan. “I did not remind you because I knew that you would be tired eventually, but you did not exhaust your energy completely at that time. As long as you follow my method by recovering your strength while you move forward, then it should not be a problem.” As he finished, he lifted his head to have a look. “However, by the looks of it, we may need to rest a few more times on the way.”
If it was just him, he would have reached the top in one go, but there were two girls in the group. Young ladies usually have poor physical fitness. Even though Young Lady Ye knows how to preserve her energy, it doesn’t mean that she has enough of it. Even if she preserves and recovers her energy, she will still exhaust all of it in the end. Furthermore, she is pregnant. I should let them rest before she uses up all of her energy.
The more they went forward, the fewer the people around them. However, there was a married couple who consistently followed them from behind. They looked deeply in love as they continuously helped each other up the mountain.
Yan turned around to steal a few glances at them as her eyes filled with envy. I, too, want a magical love like this, sigh.
“Are you envious?” Xiao Su’s voice rang out next to Yan, pulling her mind back to reality. At some point, he walked next to her in an exceptionally close distance. “We can be like that if you want to.” When he said this, he leaned closer to her while intentionally lowering his voice.
Yan looked toward Han Muzi reflexively, noticing that Han Muzi stoically walked forward as if only she had heard what Xiao Su said. Yet, Yan still felt embarrassed for some reason, so she bit on her lower lip and glared at him. “Who wants to do that with you?”
Xiao Su blinked his eyes. “Do what?”
Yan was rendered speechless as she realized that her words would be easily misunderstood by others. Therefore, she quickly explained, “I am talking about them as a married couple. It’s not what you think it is!”
After a long walk, Yan’s white face flushed a bit and she looked even more adorable with her embarrassment. Xiao Su was usually a straightforward man, but when he saw her this way, he couldn’t help but feel the need to mock her, so he added, “What I think? How do you know what I’m actually thinking?”
“Of course I know you are thinking of that. How could I not know that you are thinking of that? But what you’re thinking of is not actually that thing that you are thinking of. I…” At this point, Yan suddenly trailed off before she snapped at him, “Ugh, this has now become a mess and a tongue twister for me. I refuse to talk to you now.” After that, Yan went over to Han Muzi’s side and far away from Xiao Su while he quirked up the corners of his lips to reveal a loving smile.
Han Muzi saw Yan running to her side with an angry face and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Yan complained to her straight away, “This Xiao Su is such a despicable person. He might seem like a gentleman, but that is not true at all.”
“Huh?”
“He… Forget about it. I don’t think I’ll tell you.”
Then, Han Muzi glanced at Xiao Su over Yan’s shoulder. After all these years, she was familiar with his character. According to his attitude toward Yan lately, Han Muzi believed that he was being serious. If Yan can’t be together with my brother, then Xiao Su is actually not a bad choice. As she thought about it, she lowered her voice and asked, “Have you ever considered him?”
“Huh? W-What?” Yan’s eyes instantly filled with panic. “Muzi, are you saying…”
“Yes.” Han Muzi nodded while her face and eyes reflected calmness. “You cannot always hook yourself onto a tree for the rest of your life. You are still young. You do not need to waste all your time on my brother. As a girl, you should really let your youth be widely known to everyone. If you lock your heart up and do not consider anyone else, you might just lose your youth.”
Yan remained quiet.
“I know I don’t have the right to advise you because I’m that stubborn and will only set my mind on one person. No matter if he is dead or alive, I would not ever change my mind. But… I still need to advise you—whether you want to listen to me or not.”
“Stop it,” Yan interrupted her quietly. “I am not as intelligent as you and I cannot be an outstanding designer like you, but… I have my own determination and pride. The fact is I like him and I would not take a step back to choose someone I do not like. Xiao Su… is a nice person, but we cannot force a relationship. Besides, I do not plan to hook onto a tree for the rest of my life. Ever since I returned from abroad, I have already decided to give up on your brother.”
Han Muzi already guessed it, but she still reminded Yan, “But when I look at you, it is obvious that you have not let him go.”
“Yes. I may have not completely let go of him, but I am much better than before. You can see that… I have stopped clinging on to him lately. Muzi, I have already progressed.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless, so she remained silent. Yan held on to Han Muzi’s hand and lowered her voice. “Please stop talking about that anymore. It will be very awkward if he hears it.” She was referring to Xiao Su.
Even though Xiao Su had obviously expressed his feelings toward her lately and even admitted it to her, Yan was still a shy girl. However, that wasn’t because of love. She knew what she wanted and what she didn’t want. If she really got together with Xiao Su, she would only be hurting him.
Han Muzi had a look at Yan before letting out a resigned sigh inside her. There really isn’t much mutual love in the world. Even if there is, it’s easy for it to rot and most people are like Xiao Su, who can only love instead of being loved. However, they still hold on to the last remaining hope in the deepest part of their hearts as they await for a different ending. Maybe their dreams will really come true one day?
She lowered her eyes and decided that she would never talk about relationships to Yan anymore. Yan can do whatever she wants.

She lowered her eyes and decided that she would never talk about relationships to Yan anymore. Yan can do whatever she wants.

When the two of them emerged, Xiao Su waited for them outside. Just as he saw them, he stepped forward and handed them some water. “What is it, Young Lady Ye?”
Han Muzi smiled as she nodded, but she quickly thought of something and shot a look at Yan beside her. Xiao Su immediately knew that something was amiss.
“Don’t look at me. I was just simply sending my prayers. Besides, I accidentally spilled the lots, so I may have angered God.” Yan’s voice was gloomy as if she was upset and she dragged her head down in a dull and lifeless way.
Xiao Su felt that if she was an animal, both of her ears would be flattened against her head. Just the thought of it gave him a vivid image and he felt that he could reach out to tug her ears. Of course, he never did it in reality, but he couldn’t resist reaching out to place his palm over her head.
“How could a lot upset you a lot? It is still unknown to us. How do you know that it would not come true if you do not work hard for it?”
Yan wanted to stare at him, but when she raised her eyes, she spotted a pink-colored shadow in the corner of his pocket and instinctively reached out to grab it. Xiao Su’s lot was in her hands—just like that. “Huh? You have also offered a prayer?”
While standing aside, Han Muzi remained silent as if she had discovered something incredible. Before we entered, Xiao Su had clearly said that he didn’t want to enter, but I never expected him to secretly…
After being caught red-handed, Xiao Su felt a little awkward and ashamed yet he did not deny it at that moment. Therefore, he only nodded his head in agreement. “Yes. Initially, I did not want to go in, but it is too boring out here, so… I went in to draw a lot.”
No matter what he said, Yan had already opened his lot to have a look. When she saw that his lot was also an awful lot like hers, a smile quickly appeared on her face. “I was wondering why you would suddenly comfort me. Looks like you are also comforting yourself because you also drew an awful lot like me. Xiao Su, what did you pray for?” Xiao Su remained quiet while looking at her. “What did that old monk tell you when you got that awful lot? Did he tell you that it all depends on you and you are the one who decides your own fate?”
Yan continued to speak while she lifted her head and her eyes instantly met Xiao Su’s gaze that melted into hers. His profound eyes felt like fire burning on her face, which made her feel a thump in her heart. Xiao Su is… She panicked and wanted to search for Han Muzi. However, Han Muzi had realized from the start that this would happen, so she went off to drink her water.
“You should know what I prayed for.” Just when Yan’s heart raced, Xiao Su opened his mouth slightly. “I also know what you’ve prayed for. However, it is obvious that both of our lots did not go as planned. Looks like… this situation is going to continue for a while, right? But I believe that if I work harder, you might be mine. ”
You might be mine… You might be mine… Yan nervously blinked her eyes several times while stepping back in panic. Then, she thought of something, so she stuffed the lot back into Xiao Su’s hands and snapped at him, “Who ever said that I’m thinking the same thing as you? My wish is totally different from yours! As for what I have wished for, I won’t ever tell you!” With that, she ran right away.
Xiao Su let out a faint smile as he saw her leaving.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi drank some water when Yawn sat right next to her. Just as Han Muzi’s eyes filled with joy, Yan moaned to her, “Muzi, are we still good friends?”
“Yes. Why would we not be?”
“Then why did you leave me, your friend, when I am in trouble? You even sat here drinking your water leisurely. Do you even have a conscience?”
“My friend is in trouble?” Han Muzi turned her head and revealed her joyous eyes. “I did not see any trouble. What I see is a man. As your best friend, I should give the two of you more personal space and time when someone has fallen in love with you.”
Yan was rendered speechless as she pursed her lips angrily. “What love? I do not need someone else’s love. I want to work hard and open my own shop, so I do not need anyone’s love.” Han Muzi smiled, but never uttered a word. “However, I was surprised that he got an awful lot too. Suddenly, I feel that he also has the same bad luck as me. I am finally not the most unlucky person anymore.”
“You’re right. The two of you seem destined to be together. You are upset because you got an awful lot. He, too, got an awful lot, so he happens to be the one who could comfort you.”
Yan remained silent. “Look at you, bringing this up again. Muzi, you really are getting cheekier lately.”
“Am I?”
“Hmph, of course you would not admit to it,” Yan grumbled.
“Alright. Don’t be mad. We need to head down the mountain now.”
Han Muzi saw that the sky became dark and she assumed that it would be nightfall when they got down the mountain. However, she also noticed that there were street lamps on each side of the stone step road when they climbed the mountain and it would be faster for them to head down, compared to coming up. Therefore, half an hour should be enough for them.
“Eh, do you not need to rest? Even though you looked fine on the way, you are still pregnant. Are you hanging on by force?” Yan stared at her worryingly, afraid that Han Muzi would keep quiet on her discomfiture without telling them.
“Don’t worry. Just look at me, do I look like I have any problems? Or are you hoping that something happens to me?”
“Pfft!” Yan rudely interrupted her. “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I hope for you to have an accident? I hope that you can be safe and that nothing happens to you!”
Just as the two of them chatted, Xiao Su came over. “Young Lady Ye, did you have enough rest? We need to head down the mountain now.”
When Yan saw him, she was reminded of the words he told her earlier about wanting something. Suddenly, her expression became a little awkward as she coughed gently before turning her head away.
Seeing Yan embarrassed like that, Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I think I had enough rest. Let us go.”
Yan quickly stood up with Han Muzi. Both of them had supported each other when they climbed the mountain because they were tired. Now that they went down the mountain, Yan followed Han Muzi closely while distancing herself from Xiao Su.
Sure enough, as they were halfway down, the sky had turned dark and the street lamps were switched on. There were a lot of people going down the mountain with them. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Yan grabbed her stomach. “I’m hungry. Let’s head back to eat.”
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, they caught a meal before they returned to their rooms to rest. Han Muzi and Yan stayed in the same room. When Han Muzi was done with her bath, she assured Song An of her safety before asking about Ye Moxuan’s condition.
“You don’t need to worry. It’s already late, so you’d better have a rest now. You can come back tomorrow after you have rested enough. There is nothing particular about Moxuan’s situation, but I’ll help you keep an eye on him.”
“Thank you, Aunty. You must be tired now. I will be returning tomorrow.”

When the two of them emerged, Xiao Su waited for them outside. Just as he saw them, he stepped forward and handed them some water. “What is it, Young Lady Ye?”
Han Muzi smiled as she nodded, but she quickly thought of something and shot a look at Yan beside her. Xiao Su immediately knew that something was amiss.

“Thank you, Aunty. You must be tired now. I will be returning tomorrow.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1085
After Song An said those words, Han Muzi felt that her heart raced. Thump! Thump! Thump! Her heart was close to bursting out of her chest.
Han Muzi opened her lips, wanting to say something, but Song An teased her instead, “Do not get so excited. You need to learn to keep your mind calm. You’re pregnant, so you can’t afford to be this emotional. Learn to control your emotions, alright?”
“I’m sorry.” Han Muzi smiled apologetically before covering her mouth and composing herself. She opened her mouth again to speak, “I’ll control myself better, Aunty. As soon as the snow stops falling, I will immediately return.”
“You do not need to hurry. Your safety is the most important.”
The snow fell for two whole days before it started to fade off. The highway was still blocked, so it would be much slower for Xiao Su, Yan, and Han Muzi to return. Han Muzi was embarrassed to urge them, so they stayed in the neighboring city for four days before heading back. The first thing that they did when they returned to North City was to visit the hospital.
“You are too anxious.” Song An furrowed her brows.
“Aunty, am I not back safely now? Besides, we have stayed there for a long time now. Thank you for these few days. I will take care of him from here. You can now head back to rest.”
After giving it a thought, Song An nodded and went home with the old man.
As soon as they were gone, Han Muzi accompanied Ye Moxuan alone while holding his hand. “I have gone so far to pray for you. If you can hear me, please wake up soon. You cannot just sleep here forever,” she murmured to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he could hear it. Now, there wasn’t anyone in sight, so she wanted to say these words just to him, “My baby and I need you. You need to quickly wake up. It does not matter if you cannot remember the past.” After that, she started to stammer at him and slept on his arms in the end. When Yan saw the scene after arriving at night, she was instantly angry yet distressed. It is clear to Muzi that she is a pregnant woman, but she still lies down like that without knowing that she may catch a cold.
Seeing the same scene, Xiao Su pressed his lips and told Yan, “I think we better wake Young Lady Ye up. It is not good for her to sleep like this.”
“I think so too.” Yan nodded before waking Han Muzi up.
After Han Muzi was woken up, she instinctively rubbed her eyes. “Yan, you’re here?”
Han Muzi didn’t know what time it was, so she wanted to check on the time. Yan lifted her up afterward, scowling, “Why can’t you take good care of yourself? How could you sleep here like that?” When Han Muzi tried to get up, her legs were numb and she sat right back in the chair. “What is it?” Yan asked.
Han Muzi was embarrassed. “It’s probably because I had been in this posture for such a long time that my legs are feeling a bit numb.” With that, she rubbed her legs and Yan scolded her while helping out.
After that, Xiao Su said to Han Muzi, “You can leave him here with me.”
Han Muzi frowned her beautiful brows. “But you drove a long way yesterday. Did you have enough rest?”
“Don’t worry, Young Lady Ye. I had enough sleep today, so I am energetic now. Besides, Young Master Ye’s condition has been stable lately. I can find some time to rest during the night.”
On the second day, Han Muzi accompanied Ye Moxuan and spoke a lot to him again. In the end, she couldn’t help but doze off before she had a dream. In her dream, Ye Moxuan was awake but he had forgotten all of his past and couldn’t recognize Little Bean or even his child inside Han Muzi. Afterward, he even said to her coldly, “Woman, don’t think you can fool me by making up these lies! How could I fall in love with a woman like you?” He then gave Han Muzi a hard push and she accidentally fell down the stairs.
She suddenly woke up in shock and broke out in cold sweat. The first thing that she did was to check on her belly. When she realized that there wasn’t any pain in her belly, she gradually calmed down and saw that Ye Moxuan still lay peacefully on the bed, looking much better than yesterday. It was all just a dream, which was really a shock. Han Muzi raised her hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead, but her heart still raced, so she took some deep breaths to calm herself down.
After finally stabilizing her emotions, she held Ye Moxuan’s hand again. Her hands were sweaty due to her nervousness, but his palms were warm and dry, which were totally different from hers.
“I just had a nightmare that really scared me. I know that dreams are not real and it is impossible for you to abandon me, so… can you wake up sooner? Everyone is worried about you. The doctor said there is a chance you may wake up in a short period, but there is also a chance it will take longer for you to wake up. Let me tell you this, Ye Moxuan, after suffering so much before, I do not want to spend the rest of my life taking care of a vegetable. If… If… you are really in a vegetative state…” At this point, Han Muzi lowered her eyes as it began to fill up with water beads. Her vision was blurred by her tears as she opened her pink lips slightly. “Then I would not want you anymore.”
Just as she finished her words, she felt that Ye Moxuan seemed to twitch his fingertips. She froze on the spot as if she was struck by lightning. Instantly, she raised her head to look at his broad palm while her heart raced. Is this an illusion? Why did I feel that he just moved his hand…
At this moment, a weak yet familiar deep voice was heard. “Don’t you dare leave me.”
Han Muzi was stunned as her body froze and she became motionless. Her lashes trembled while she slowly raised her eyes to look at him.
At some point, Ye Moxuan had opened his eyes. Even after a deep sleep, he still had a profound look and it held her gaze like a metal chain while his lips were slightly pale. When he noticed that she stared at him, he still couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows as he reopened his thin lips. “Did you just say that you do not want me anymore?”
Meanwhile, Han Muzi couldn’t care less about what he was saying since she experienced a sudden wave of emotions—shock, excitement, irritation and anxiousness—at the same time. After sitting there blankly for ten seconds, she immediately pounced toward Ye Moxuan and hugged him tightly.
Ye Moxuan’s vision darkened when Han Muzi held on to his body. Then, her warm tears flowed to his neck.
Ye Moxuan held his breath as he felt heartache. This woman…
“You’re finally awake! Oh, I thought you will continue to sleep forever. This is great! You’re finally awake!”
Seeing her crying because of him, he immediately felt sorry for her. Then, he tried his best to gently wrap his hands around her waist. “Don’t cry. How could I leave you alone?”
His voice became exceptionally hoarse and it was probably a result of his long sleep. At first, Han Muzi felt emotional and she wanted to cry while hugging him, but hearing his husky voice, she only let him go and wiped her tears.
“Let me get you a glass of water.” When she got up to help him with some water, she suddenly remembered something. “No. I must get the doctor first to make sure that you’re fine before letting you drink some water.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1086
With that, Han Muzi ran straight out of the ward.
Ye Moxuan remained silent on the bed while waiting for his water. When the doctor came in later, he was taken aback by the fact that Ye Moxuan had woken up before the former gave him a thorough inspection. He left after making sure that there weren’t any problems with Ye Moxuan.
After he was gone, Han Muzi served Ye Moxuan a glass of warm water before helping him to sit up. “Drink some water.”
Ye Moxuan was still motionless as he stared straight into her. His eyes were devoid of emotions and Han Muzi was a little embarrassed by him. “What are you doing?” she asked.
He then pressed his lips as he tried to reason with her, but his voice cracked when it first came out. Therefore, he furrowed his brows even more while drinking the water helplessly to clear his throat.
At this moment, Han Muzi took out her phone to inform everyone that Ye Moxuan was awake. For convenience’s sake, she added everyone whom she knew into a WeChat group so that she could directly message all of them about the news. After that, she decided to post on her WeChat moments, but her phone was suddenly taken away by Ye Moxuan. “I have just woken up and you are facing your phone instead of me.”
Han Muzi raised her head in shock before biting her lower lip gently and shaking her head. “It’s not like that. While you were unconscious, everyone was very worried about you. Now that you are awake, I need to inform them about the good news.”
“And now you’re done.” He shoved her phone under the pillow. It was obvious that he didn’t want her to touch her phone again.
She didn’t know what he tried to do, but after realizing that he only wanted her to stop looking at her phone, she never resisted him. Later, she said to him, “The doctor has given you a thorough check just now. Is there anywhere that you are feeling uncomfortable? Or do you want to continue drinking some water? Are you hungry? Why don’t I make a call to…” Her questions continued coming, and all of it were her concerns about his well-being.
All of a sudden, Ye Moxuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her straight into his arms. After falling into his embrace, she lifted her eyes to look at him. “What are you doing?”
Ye Moxuan squeezed her chin while his eyes revealed a dangerous intent. “Who was the one who said she did not want me anymore earlier?”
Han Muzi blinked her eyes and looked at him with a blank expression, feeling completely lost. This is the third time he has asked me about this. It looks like he has really taken this question to heart. I couldn’t dodge it the first two times, so I seems that there’s no point for me to play dumb now.
“Huh?” Ye Moxuan asked again after she remained silent. This time, his tone was heavier as if he wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Han Muzi stayed quiet before replying a while later, “Alright. I am the one who said it, but I was just trying to see if those words would trigger you because you just would not wake up. Now that I have said it, you are finally awake. Is that not quite nice?”
He squinted his murderous eyes. “Quite nice?”
“What I mean is that it is nice that you woke up. As for what I have said… I did all of it just to wake you up. If I really did not want you, why would I stay by your side until now?”
Listening to her, Ye Moxuan was stunned. Yes, how could she abandon me? Even when I had an accident or when I was missing and nobody knew whether I was alive or not, she always took the burden alone. She even did the same thing after finding me and realizing that I lost my memory. Thinking about this, he slowly approached her while blowing his warm breath all over her face.
When he was getting closer, Han Muzi widened her eyes instinctively before pushing him away. “You have just woken up and you are a patient. Do not mess around!” she shouted.
As she finished, Ye Moxuan leaned over to hug her while she froze in shock. She felt that his arms around her waist had tightened, but he loosened his arms as if he thought of something. “Even if you really do not want me anymore, I would not let you leave me. You are mine in this life.” While saying those words, his tone was filled with seriousness. Han Muzi twitched her lips as if she tried to say something, but she also felt that it was better for her to remain silent before a smile slowly crossed her lips.
The two of them stayed in the ward quietly while hugging each other—both enjoyed their time together alone. Suddenly, a ringtone pierced the silence and the two of them stopped. It came from the phone that Ye Moxuan placed under the pillow. He wasn’t satisfied enough with hugging Han Muzi, so he immediately furrowed his brows when the phone disturbed them. Then, he silenced the phone before throwing it under the pillow before continuing to hug her.
At first, Han Muzi remained silent. “Is it alright to ignore that call?” she gently reminded him.
“What is the problem with it? Did you not already inform them that I have woken up?” Ye Moxuan whispered, “You have already sent the message and you do not need to do it twice.”
His argument seemed reasonable, so there was no way for her to refute him.
Song An was the first one to rush to the hospital. She was also the first one to call Han Muzi, but the former panicked after a few unanswered calls. Didn’t he just wake up? Why isn’t she answering the call now? Therefore, she immediately left the old man and rushed straight to the hospital on her own. However, she was surprised to see Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi hugging each other the moment she pushed open the door. The scene was calm and beautiful. Could it be that she didn’t answer the call because they were hugging each other until now?
Song An felt like she was being exposed to their public display of affection. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you two done with hugging?”
Even though she knew that it was inappropriate for her to interrupt them, she still knocked on the door to check on the husband and wife who were immersed in their own world. Actually, Ye Moxuan saw her coming from the start, but he had a thick skin and chose to ignore her.
After hearing Song An’s voice, Han Muzi immediately pushed Ye Moxuan away in shock. Han Muzi turned her flushed face toward Song An. “A-Aunty…”
Song An walked over slowly in her high heels. “How do you feel after just waking up?”
Ye Moxuan glared at her before retracting his eyes. Then, he stared at Han Muzi again, and this time, his eyes were stuck on her.
Song An couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the scene. “I said enough. Why are you this clingy after just waking up?”
Even though he was upset with her cutting him off, she was still his elder. Not only that, Han Muzi’s face had already turned fully red, so he became more serious and told her, “I’m fine now. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital today.”
“Discharge from the hospital? Are you kidding me? You have been in a coma for a few days, and you want to discharge today? What if you have another problem?”
Ye Moxuan frowned his eyebrows after hearing her words. It was obvious that he didn’t want to stay in the hospital and it was probably because he felt uncomfortable staying here after lying on the bed for so many days.
Then, Han Muzi quickly spoke up, “Why don’t we ask the doctor later? If he agrees, then we can be discharged early. After that, we can just come back for regular checkups.” Since he doesn’t like to be here, I’ll try my best to appease him. He is a patient after all. Han Muzi was really worried that something would happen to him again. What if he passes out again?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1087
As soon as Han Muzi finished her words, Song An glanced at the former with displeasure. “Muzi, why are you spoiling him like this? You’re a girl, so he should be the one spoiling you!”
Song An held her forehead as she was worried about Han Muzi’s position in the family in the future. If a girl is in an inferior position, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage?
Ye Moxuan’s dashing face bathed under the evening light while a smile crossed his thin lips. “What are you worrying about? Are you afraid that I will bully her after she spoils me?”
Listening to him, Song An rolled her eyes at him. “Have you never bullied her before? Back then, you bullied her all the time. Muzi is an excellent girl… but she is stupid to stick with you now.” Song An never held back on her verbal punches when she scorned him. She knew how nice Han Muzi was and how much of a scumbag her nephew was. This nephew of mine can’t even be compared to one of her fingers.
The more she told him, the tighter his eyebrows furrowed. Then, memories about the past flashed through his mind as if it had happened yesterday. I… really am a b*stard.
Seeing him frowning his brows, Song An assumed that he was upset about her comments and teases, so she threatened him, “What is it? Are you unhappy with what I have said? Let me tell you this, if you ever bully Muzi again, I would not acknowledge you as my nephew.”
Han Muzi was amused by Song An and continued to smile. “Aunty, he just woke up not long ago. Don’t—”
“I was wrong,” Ye Moxuan suddenly apologized in a husky voice. Han Muzi and Song An were taken aback, and they looked at him in confusion. Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan’s eyes burned with passion as he gazed at Han Muzi. The determination in his eyes was paired with the strong emotions suppressed in his voice. Gradually, the smile hanging on the corner of Han Muzi’s lips disappeared before it was replaced by a slightly stern expression.
“You…” Han Muzi also spoke in a hoarse voice, but she lacked the courage to say anything in her mind for the fear of triggering him, so she only tested him carefully. Even Song An felt something while standing aside. The atmosphere in the room became so tense that she remained silent with her furrowed brows.
“Yes.” Under the uncertain gaze of Han Muzi, Ye Moxuan nodded his head gently before opening his mouth. “I remembered everything.”
He had remembered everything. During his sleep, he seemed to have traveled back to the past. He lived through everything in his mind as if he dreamt about his past, present and future life. He felt that the dream wasn’t real because every time it happened, he knew that he had experienced it before. He thought to himself then, I can’t waste my time here. I need to find the woman waiting for me in the future. In his dream, he occasionally heard murmurs. It felt close to him, but at the same time, it seemed to have been from the sky. In short, he remembered everything—now that he woke up. The woman he loved stood in front of him perfectly.
The ward was extraordinarily silent.
“Back then, your Ye Moxuan was a b*stard, but he will never be like that ever again,” he told Han Muzi.
Han Muzi felt a twinge in her nose as she bit her lower lip gently. Even her fists beside her tightened quietly. He really… remembers everything. Before this, she was fine if he could no longer recover his memory. To her, their relationship was even more important than those memories which they shared together. However, she never expected him to recall everything after lying here for many days.
“Are you willing to give a b*stard the rest of your life so that he can repay and protect you throughout his whole life?” he asked her.
Han Muzi’s eyes filled with tears to the point where she couldn’t see the man in front of her clearly.
While standing aside, Song An was speechless. Did I hear him wrong? Is he proposing to her? In a hospital? “You little brat, I have warned you not to—”
“Yes.” Before Song An could finish her words, Han Muzi smiled and nodded while tears rolled down her eyes.
Song An looked at her confusingly. “Muzi, what are you agreeing to him for? This little brat is not sincere at all…”
Han Muzi continued to cry as she smiled and Ye Moxuan tried his best to get up to walk toward her. Then, the man’s strong aura engulfed her as he tried to wipe away her tears. However, Han Muzi was extremely touched that her tears continued to roll down her cheeks without any sign of stopping. After a second of hesitation, Ye Moxuan lowered his head to kiss her eyes and sucked those tears of hers away.
Song An was rendered speechless. Forget it. Looks like I came here today only to be greeted with a public display of affection. Since he is my nephew and he just woke up, I’ll just let him be.
…
After the routine examination later that day, there weren’t any significant problems and he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital—with the doctor’s advice to return for regular checkups.
Ye Moxuan just woke up, so Yuchi Jin planned to hold a party to celebrate with only relatives and close friends. That was why the people who attended were Yan’s family, Han Qing, Xiao Su and Song An on the day of the party. Due to the lack of guests, Han Muzi also invited the designers from her company. When the designers gathered together and realized who Yuchi Jin was, they were all in awe.
Leng Yueyue howled. “My idol is just the best. Not only is she herself excellent, the people she meets are also outstanding.” She wailed, “I also want to work hard and stand out so that I can find someone else who is just as outstanding!”
Wang An, who was standing aside, became anxious immediately after hearing her words. “Then I will work hard together with you so that I can be outstanding too.”
On the other side, Yan and Han Muzi stayed in the same place, gossiping.
“I heard that Young Master Ye proposed to you in the hospital right after he woke up.”
When Yan mentioned about that day, Han Muzi still felt thrilled about it and nodded with a flushed face.
“Really? I thought it was fake. Is it really true?” Yan held her chin with both her hands as she envied Han Muzi. “I’m so envious!” After that, she changed the subject. “By the way, when you asked me to bring my mom and dad over, I did not want to do it at first, but I was surprised to see their excitement after I told them. So, I brought them here to have some fun.”
“Don’t worry, as long as your parents are having fun.”
Suddenly, the door was opened and Yan saw Ye Moxuan entering afterward. He was initially shocked to see her because he never expected to see her here.
Yan immediately jumped. “I’m suddenly hungry, so I will head out for some snacks. Muzi, I will leave now.” Then, she escaped quickly, as if she wanted to disappear from Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan’s sight. Yan exhaled in relief when she exited the room. I don’t have the strength to stare at him. By the looks of that Ye Moxuan, it is obvious that he sees me as a disturbance. Luckily, I immediately fled.
Even though Yuchi Jin and Han Muzi didn’t invite a lot of people, it was still a celebration party, so there were more people here than usual.
As Yan walked around at the party, all she saw were familiar faces. After all, most of the people invited were from her previous company.
“Yan, why did you suddenly resign? Where are you working now?”
“Seeing you disappear from the company quietly, I thought that you had a row with Muzi. It looks like it is all fine.”
A crowd of people continued to pepper her with questions.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1088
Yan never intended to answer those questions, but the crowd of people continued to pressure her about it. Almost everyone had asked her about work the first time they met. She was aware that there was no malice as they were merely gossiping and being curious. However, as the questions started to pile up, she felt like she was about to explode. Therefore, she simply took a small piece of cake and hid in a corner. As she quietly ate the strawberry on the cake, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
That figure wore a glamorous dress that complimented her fine, slender yet exquisite body. There were even a few people surrounding her as though she was a popular public person. Yan knew the person. This person was Lin Xinghuo, a loyal client of Han Muzi’s company.
Why is she here? Yan was a bit confused. Back then, Lin Xinghuo became Han Muzi’s fan after falling in love with the latter’s designs. As such, Lin Xinghuo signed a long-term collaboration contract immediately with the company, but lacked the courage to text Han Muzi daily—even on the day of the wedding. She was afraid of reaching out to Han Muzi directly after knowing about the accident. Therefore, she took the long route by asking people in the company about Han Muzi’s situation. At that time, Lin Xinghuo had also asked Yan, who replied straight away, “If you want to know about it badly, why not ask her directly?”
After that, Lin Xinghuo sent Yan a text along with a few crying emojis. ‘I really want to ask her, but they have not found the person yet, so I’m afraid of making her sad. I am very worried about her, so I can only ask you all. I do not mean anything else. Please do not blame me.’
Finally, after understanding what Lin Xinghuo meant, Yan replied that Han Muzi was fine and that the former should no longer worry.
Ever since Yan left the company, she never met another famous star like Lin Xinghuo again. Therefore, Yan was surprised to see her at the party today.
Lin Xinghuo suddenly saw Yan while the latter was deep in her thoughts. Her eyes brightened as she walked toward Yan. “Yan, so this is where you are. I knew that you will be here today, but I just could not find you.”
Yan was shocked since she never expected Lin Xinghuo to come over to greet her. Initially, she wanted to stay here unnoticed like a fly on a wall because if Lin Xinghuo came too close, it would draw a lot of attention from other people. After all, Lin Xinghuo was a huge star with a famous reputation and there were many people from the company at the party.
Yan smiled faintly before she waved her hand in greeting at Lin Xinghuo. “I was with Muzi just now,” Yan explained softly.
Lin Xinghuo looked surprised. “I see. How is my idol? Is she much better now? I heard from the people in the company that she returned with Young Master Ye some time ago, right?”
“Yes.” Yan nodded. “Everything is fine. You donʼt need to worry about her.”
“Phew.” Lin Xinghuo let out a sigh of relief. “That is great.” Then, she suddenly saw the cake that Yan and thought it looked delicious before asking where the latter got it from.
“Do you want one? I want to get another piece. I will try to get a slice for you too.”
Lin Xinghuo thanked Yan with both hands. “That would be great! Thanks.”
Later on, Yan returned with two cake slices. Immediately, Lin Xinghuo revealed the joy on her face as she received the cake from Yan. After having a bite, Lin Xinghuo exclaimed, “This is so tasty! I have not eaten a cake in a long time.”
“Why is that?” Yan was curious.
“It is hard to be a star. You need to control your diet and your body strictly. If I gain a slight bit of weight, my fans will hate me.”
Yan was rendered speechless. Her fans will hate her just because she gained a bit of weight? What kind of fans are those?
Seeing the disbelief in Yan’s face, Lin Xinghuo explained, “You find it hard to believe, donʼt you? I used to not believe in it too. I thought that the fans like me because they truly do. So, how could they hate me and even insult me if I gained a bit of weight? The truth is that most fans like their idols because they think that their idols are beautiful. Then, they will start to imagine an image for their idols—like what they should look like and what they should not look like. If you do not follow their rules, they will just leave you and even insult you. Of course, along with these kinds of people, there are also people who are truly fans.”
Yan had never been in the entertainment industry, so she only knew that it was an easily corruptible place where people needed to surrender something to get the things that they want, and it was complicated. It was already hard enough to keep a low profile, so it was even harder for those at the top of the search engine since they needed to prevent others from overtaking them. Not only that, they were also being observed all the time, so they needed to be mindful of their actions without making a single mistake.
“A life like that must be hard,” Yan said to Lin Xinghuo after giving it a thought. This isn’t what I want.
Upon hearing Yan, Lin Xinghuo looked a little lost. “It is a bit hard, but after seeing so many people who like me, I feel that it is worth it.” With that, she took a scoop of the cake before bringing it to her mouth.
“Oh my God!” A slightly sharp voice was suddenly heard. Right after the voice spoke, a big hand came over to snatch the cake away from Lin Xinghuo’s hands. “Jesus Christ, I have been away for just a while and now, you are causing trouble for me! Can you not do this?”
Lin Xinghuo shrugged her shoulders casually. “How am I causing trouble for you? Am I not just sitting here and eating something?”
The person was Lin Xinghuo’s agent. He then lifted the cake. “Do you know what this is? Itʼs cake! Itʼs filled with butter! Are you trying to break the gym tomorrow? Have you forgotten the last time you went viral on the news just because you gained a bit of weight?”
Lin Xinghuo patted his shoulder. “Come on, I only ate two bites of it. Itʼs not gonna make me put on any weight.”
The agent became anxious. “If I had shown up a second later, I bet that you wouldʼve finished the whole thing.”
Lin Xinghuo remained silent. She really thought of doing so as she was tired of restraining herself every day and wanted a chance to let loose.
Yan could no longer bear how Lin Xinghuo was being treated, so she decided to speak up, “About that, I think she is already slim enough. It’s fine for her to have an occasional piece.”
“What do you know?” Lin Xinghuo’s agent retorted. “Any ordinary person will always look fatter on camera. If she does not maintain her body shape, the camera would only show her ugly side to everyone.”
Yan was rendered speechless. After that, Lin Xinghuo comforted her, “It’s alright. I am used to him speaking in this way. I would not disturb you eating your cake now. I shall excuse myself.”
“Alright.” After Lin Xinghuo left with her agent, Yan sat there quietly and ate her cake. She had no idea on the length of time she had sat there, but she consumed a lot of juice, cake and even some snacks. She had drank too much beverages and had the urge to go to the toilet.
Instinctively, Yan rubbed her round belly while letting out a satisfying sigh from the bottom of her heart. It’s better not to be a star. I don’t even need to control what I want to eat. However, it’s still not good to eat excessively, but I just couldn’t control myself today. Then, she stood up and went to the washroom. When she exited the washroom, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1089
That person had an imposing stature like a firm tree in the wind. It was Han Qing.
Yan recognized him at first sight and her feet subconsciously took a few steps away until she reached a corner. When she leaned closely against the wall, her heart started to race before she scorned at herself inside her heart, Useless.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice of a girl.
“Hello… I’m sorry, President Han. I do not mean to disturb you, but I took the chance today to meet you here. Actually, I have admired you for a long time now and I know that you are always single. Before this, I did not dare to speak about it rashly, so I am taking the chance today to tell you this. I hope that you can give me a shot.”
Yan widened her eyes in disbelief. If I’m not mistaken, this voice… is obviously the voice of Lin Xinghuo, who was talking to me just now. She is the famous Lin Xinghuo in the entertainment industry and she actually… admires Han Qing?
Yan froze as she felt shock at what she had heard. How did this happen? However, it’s normal for an outstanding person like Han Qing to have lots of girls chasing after him. Even if the girl is a huge star, she is still an ordinary person, so it makes sense for her to have emotions—never mind liking someone outstanding. Then, what about Han Qing? Lin Xinghuo is such a talented beautiful girl with an exquisite face and body. She is much better than him as the difference between the two of them are miles apart. Will he be touched after being confessed to by such a beautiful lady?
Thinking about it, Yan felt a pain in her heart while her nose felt sour. What am I thinking? Even if Han Qing likes her, it’s none of my business. Didn’t I decide earlier on that I was going to forget him?
Just when Yan imagined things, the man spoke in an indifferent tone, “Since you know that I have always been single, you should not have said these words today.”
Lin Xinghuo staggered, but fortunately for her, she was a star, so her immediate reaction was pleasant—she let out a small smile. “Maybe things would be different someday? You have been single for so long and I just want to give it a shot. If we do not try, there would not be any chance.” What she said was true—one should always try many things.
Brave and fearless. Yan, who leaned against the wall, also thought of the same thing before she experienced any hurdles. She even believed that anyone could get whatever they wanted as long as they worked hard for it. However, she ignored an important belief, which was that what she wanted never belonged to her. Now, Lin Xinghuo was in the same position as her.
“It would not make any difference.” Han Qing’s eyes were devoid of emotions as they were filled with coldness. He felt that there was nothing special about the woman in front of him who had lots of fans. When Lin Xinghuo twitched her lips to try to say something while looking at his dashing face, he suddenly spoke a sentence in a cold manner, “How long do you plan to eavesdrop from the back?”
What? Lin Xinghuo was confused at first, but after a while, she reacted and became nervous as she looked around. Is there a reporter? That is not possible. Everyone who is at the party today is close to me. Plus, it’s Seabay Villa, so no reporter in North City would dare to sneak inside here because if they are caught, the law can prosecute them for trespassing.
After hearing Han Qing’s words, Yan was immediately horrified and she became nervous. H-Han Qing… What did he mean by those words just now—how long do you plan to eavesdrop from the back? Could it be that he found out I’m eavesdropping? His back was facing me when I came out, so how could he have known that I was behind him? Does he have eyes on his back?
“Why are you not coming out? Are you waiting for me to drag you out?” There was a faint sense of threat in his voice and it immediately engulfed Yan’s whole body. She did not dare to stay much longer. Even though Han Qing seemed steady and rarely got angry, he was never fun to interact with at all.
Then, Yan took a deep breath and braced herself as she emerged from the corner.
Seeing Yan again, Lin Xinghuo was initially shocked before she felt relieved. This is great. I thought a reporter had snuck in to take some pictures. Luckily, it’s just Yan.
Yan walked over to the two of them with a gloomy expression. When she reached a certain distance from them, she stopped and repeatedly bit her lower lips. “I never intended to eavesdrop on your conversation. I was in the washroom and I accidentally overheard both of you talking when I came out. I… am sorry for interrupting you,” she explained her position clearly so that Han Qing would not misunderstand her for clinging on to him.
Then, Han Qing furrowed his brows slightly as his eyes landed on Yan’s face. Immediately, Yan was numbed with fear and lowered her eyes toward the ground because she lacked the courage to meet his gaze.
“It’s fine.” Lin Xinghuo smiled broadly since she wasn’t awkward at all. She even went toward Yan and held her shoulder. “When I heard that someone was eavesdropping, I thought a reporter had snuck in. Luckily, it is just you. It’s fine for a close friend to hear the conversation, but you can just walk past us without feeling so nervous next time.”
Yan only nodded her head embarrassingly.
With the odd atmosphere gathering around them, Lin Xinghuo wasn’t even awkward at all whereas Yan, on the other hand, was deeply embarrassed. If Yan had accidentally bumped into someone else while they confessed their feelings, she would have just ignored it. However, the recipient of the confession was Han Qing, so what else was Yan able to do?
Thinking about it, Yan quickly spoke out, “Y-You two can continue talking… I-I will go now.” She was probably nervous since she couldn’t properly form her words and stuttered like a child learning to talk. After she stuttered her words, she smiled awkwardly at Lin Xinghuo before trying to leave the place.
Then, Han Qing suddenly said to Yan, “Wait.”
Yan stopped in her steps as her heart became more terrified. Is he going to blame me? Otherwise, why would he call me?
Yet, after a while, Han Qing remained silent. Lin Xinghuo was unaware of the situation, so she glanced at Han Qing and realized that he stared at Yan the whole time. As Lin Xinghuo blinked, she instantly understood something. “Do you two have something to talk about? Then I would not bother you two anymore.” With that, she drifted away. Meanwhile, her agent waited for her not too far away and ridiculed her softly when he saw her approaching, “What are you doing talking to someone at a place like that? Are you not afraid of being recorded? They will definitely insult you if it is uploaded on the Internet.”
“What will they insult me for? For courting a man? The perspective of this world is really weird. Why are men only allowed to court women?”
“You really do irk me. Let’s go!” the agent urged her.
Before Lin Xinghuo left, she couldn’t help but turn her head to give Yan and Han Qing a profound look. Yan’s scalp tingled as she caught Lin Xinghuo looking at them, but no one spoke.
Han Qing asked her to stay, but he remained quiet. Yan felt that someone stared at her on the top of her head, but those pair of eyes refused to move away. She became nervous, so she took the initiative to break the silence. “I’m sorry. I really did not mean to eavesdrop.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1090
Yan inhaled deeply and mustered the courage to look at Han Qing. “Don’t worry, I don’t know what just happened and I won’t leak the news out.”
He stared at her silently. “Is that all you wanted to say?”
She blinked her eyes as she looked at Han Qing confusingly. What else? What else do I have to say? As she thought about it carefully, she instantly understood. Lin Xinghuo expressed her feelings for Han Qing and he even thought I was eavesdropping after catching me here. Maybe he feels that my hope for him will rekindle, so he asked me to stay. Does he want me to promise him that I won’t cling to him forever? Is he that scared?
Even though she gave up on him, she still felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this. However, it no longer mattered whether she was comfortable or not, so she gritted her teeth and raised both her hands to promise him in the end. “I promise you that I won’t say a word about what transpired today. I was passing by on accident and I didn’t discover anything. Also… the thing that you’re worrying about won’t ever happen, so you can rest assured.”
Han Qing raised his brows slightly as his eyes were filled with boundless emotions and he walked a few steps forward before stopping a few inches in front of Yan. The unique sense of a man’s hormones suddenly engulfed Yan, who still had her hands raised in shock, and caused her to freeze.
“What am I worrying about?” His voice was slightly cold as he became more dashing under the corridor’s bright lights. There were traces of faint light in his eyes as if he stared at her like she was his target.
Yan looked straight at him. For a second, Han Qing seemed to have a different kind of emotion from his eyes, but soon after that, she quickly lowered her head to stare at her feet uneasily. “Aren’t you worried that I may cling onto you?”
I must have mistaken it or it might have been an illusion. Otherwise, why do I feel a sense of warmth from his eyes? And… As for the rest, Yan lacked the courage to delve deep into it. All of it is just a delusion! I should stop overrating myself!
“You don’t need to worry. I still remember the words I told you before. I once liked you and I also once gave up my dignity for you…” Han Qing’s eyes startled as he looked at the young lady in front of him talking with her head down. She looked really aggrieved, so he instinctively raised his hand toward the back of her head. “But I’ve thought about it. I won’t cling onto you anymore. I also won’t like you anymore.”
The words ‘I won’t like you anymore’ caused Han Qing’s hand to hang midair as it stopped moving. He then pressed his lips tightly as he looked at her with furrowed brows.
Yan still had her head down. Afterward, she took a deep breath with her eyes closed, blurting everything out at one shot, “Since I’ve decided that I won’t like you anymore, I will definitely keep a distance from you in the future, so the thing that you’re worried about won’t happen. You asked me to stay so that you can hear all of this, right? Now that I’m done, can I… leave?” With that, Yan quietly took a breath. Sure enough, she was able to come clean with her thoughts when she was not looking at him. If she had looked straight into his eyes as she spoke, she would definitely be unable to phrase her words in such a smooth manner.
When she lifted up her head again, Han Qing’s face was back to its cold form and his hand was also withdrawn, as if what just transpired had never happened. The young girl had said it herself, so what else could he say?
Yan wanted to leave, but without his permission, she did not dare to walk off immediately. Someone coincidentally came over to the washroom before a few girls followed while giggling. Yan’s expression changed drastically when she heard their voices and without waiting for his response, she murmured a ‘goodbye’ before rushing off in the other direction. Her legs moved in panic as though she was afraid of others seeing her together with him.
Han Qing looked at the staggering back of those young ladies for a moment before retracting his gaze.
When Yan returned to the party, she was exhausted and even felt extremely guilty before grabbing a glass of juice for herself and curling up in a corner. Just as she had a sip of the juice, Lin Xinghuo found her.
When Lin Xinghuo first greeted Yan, the latter was so shocked and almost spurted out her juice. This action caused Yan to get choked and she had to let out a few hard coughs. “Cough! Cough!”
An amused Lin Xinghuo handed Yan two tissues. Yan received it and wiped the corners of her mouth. Tears came out of her eyes after she coughed, so she wiped the corners of her eyes as well before saying ‘thank you’ to Lin Xinghuo after calming down.
However, Lin Xinghuo stared at Yan with a meaningful smile across the former’s lips.
“W-What are you looking at me for?” Yan felt an itch on her head after being stared at by Lin Xinghuo. It was probably due to the fact that Yan saw Lin Xinghuo confessing to someone else, which made the former feel guilty and divert her eyes—so as to avoid looking straight at the latter.
“I’m looking at how modest you actually are.”
Yan was confused. Modest? What does she mean? She looked at Lin Xinghuo in a daze, as if telling the latter to clearly explain what was meant.
Then, Lin Xinghuo quietly approached her and whispered, “You are together with Han Qing, but you didn’t tell me about it. Doesn’t that count as being modest?”
Yan felt an itch in her throat after coughing, so she took another sip of juice to soothe the itch. However, she never expected Lin Xinghuo to say those words and spurted out the juice in shock.
Pfft! Lin Xinghuo quickly avoided it and helplessly looked at Yan. “Can you calm yourself?”
Yan was speechless at the start before apologizing, “I’m sorry.” Her face was flushed with embarrassment in a shade of red that it seemed as though blood dripped out from it. She really lost her composure and compared to the gorgeous and noble Lin Xinghuo, the former was as rough as dirt. This comparison really made Yan upset.
“Alright, I don’t mean to blame you. I just hope that you won’t be so shocked. After all, if you keep on spitting like that while talking to me, there won’t be enough juice for the party… Back to the topic, let me quickly gossip about it. How long have you two been together?”
Yan had just cleaned the mess with tissues and smiled bitterly after she was finally done. “You have misunderstood the situation. I’m not together with him.” She probably misunderstood us because Han Qing asked me to stay after eavesdropping on them.
“It’s a misunderstanding?” Lin Xinghuo was confused as she raised her brows. “Aren’t you two a couple? Are you lying to me?”
Yan firmly shook her head, unable to understand why a huge star like Lin Xinghuo was such a busybody. “What will I get from lying to you? I’m more curious that… Don’t you usually make movies? Why would you…” Like Han Qing? She never continued from where she trailed off as her face flushed.
Seeing Yan this way, Lin Xinghuo could not help but pinch the former’s reddened tender face. “Just ask if you want to ask. Why are you so nervous? Besides, we’ve known each other for so long.” Lin Xinghuo smiled after she pinched Yan, explaining softly, “Do you think I like him?”
Yan opened her lips. “Don’t you?” If she doesn’t like him, then why would she confess to him?
