Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1211

The woman moved her hands away gradually from her face after Yan helped her to stand up. Yan turned pale in shock when she realized that the woman’s forehead was bleeding. Oh, my God! How hard did that man hit her? How could he violently beat his wife up?

Yan was blinded by anger and she whipped her phone out. “I’ll call the police for you.” This is domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is against the law!

However, just when Yan wanted to call the police, the man, who was held down by Han Qing, lost his temper. The man’s face suddenly became twisted and he charged at Yan while cursing at her, “Who do you think you are? You b*tch! What does beating my woman have anything to do with you? I’ll kill you if you dare to call the police—argh!”

Before he could complete his sentence, there was a sickening crack—Han Qing had dislocated the man’s arm as the latter screamed in pain while breaking out in cold sweat.

Han Qing’s face darkened. “Why don’t you try speaking in that type of language again?” His voice was quiet, but his tone was icy-cold and it sent chills down the abusive man’s spine.

The abusive man was obviously upset about the situation, but he lacked the courage to act recklessly after Han Qing effortlessly dislocated his arm. Besides, Han Qing radiated a chilly and intimidating aura.

Yan was shocked as well because she never expected such hostility from the violent man. Hence, she was even more determined to phone the police. She glared at the man in disdain. “Domestic violence is against the law. She’s a person—just as how she is your wife. She has rights!” With that, Yan swiftly dialed 911. However, before Yan could make the call, the woman who had been beaten up charged towards the former to cling onto her hand. “Don’t call the police, I’m begging you… Please, don’t call the police…” she wailed.

Yan was stunned to silence and she stared at the women in bewilderment. “You…”

The abusive man, who gasped in pain earlier, smirked when he saw his wife’s actions. “I advise you both not to meddle in other people’s businesses. This wench did something that she’s ashamed of. Are you planning to call the police? I’m sure she’s even more afraid than I am!”

“Shut up! You better shut up! I did not do anything shameful!” The woman glared at him vehemently before turning to Yan. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks when she spoke to Yan, “I’m very grateful for your help. However, can you please not call the police? If you call the police, I’d be… beaten up even worse in the future.”

Yan paused while regarding the woman helplessly. “Do you think he would stop hitting you if I don’t call the police?”

Domestic violence had always been rampant since ancient times. Usually, most women chose to endure it in the beginning, but the abuse worsened while they endured it in silence. In the beginning, the abuser apologized for their actions and sought forgiveness. However, toward the end, they ended up hitting and scolding their victims whenever they felt like it. Calling the police only worsened the future beatings, hence, the majority of women refused to call the police. However, they wouldn’t take additional protective measures either—they allowed themselves to experience life miserably.

Yan couldn’t take it any longer. There’s a huge difference in physical strength between men and women. Besides, even if he doesn’t love and spoil his wife after getting married, shouldn’t they at least respect each other? A real man wouldn’t project his frustrations on his wife. Hence, Yan insisted on calling the police, but the woman threw herself at Yan and clung onto her stubbornly as she howled, “I’m begging you! Please don’t call the police! Don’t call the police, I’m begging you!”

Yan was rendered speechless by the woman’s reaction because she never expected the woman to be so stubborn. Yan scowled at her, “Trust me, the problem will only be resolved by calling the police.”

“No! Please, no!” The woman’s eyes shone with fear and panic.

Yan had no choice but to look at Han Qing for his opinion. We should call the police since we are helping her. However, the woman refuses to let me call the police. In that case, what’s the use of me getting involved in this matter?

Han Qing met Yan’s gaze and he pressed his thin lips together. In the end, he simply stated, “Follow your heart and do whatever you think is right.”

Follow my heart, and do whatever I think is right? What I want now is to call the police and let them be involved in this matter. However, it’s obvious that the police would just warn the abusive man. After that, the police would attempt to mediate between the husband and wife. In the end, the woman would have to leave with her husband, and then…

Yan scowled at that thought. I do not regret interfering, but since I’m involved… I should bear the responsibilities right to the end. The consequences and associated matters are quite troublesome for me, but I can’t just abandon the woman. Therefore, Yan glanced at the woman before speaking again, “Call the police first and we will let the police resolve this matter. As for you, we will ensure your safety. What do you think?”

The woman continued shaking her head, insisting that they shouldn’t call the police. Nevertheless, she held onto Yan’s arm tightly. “D-Don’t call the police… I-If it is possible, can I leave with both of you? I’m really scared…”

“You b*tch! How dare you abandon me! Try that and I’ll kill you when we return!”

The woman flinched in response to the abusive man’s outburst and she hid behind Yan.

“Young lady.” The abusive man broke the silence while fiercely glaring at Yan. “Do you know why I’m hitting her?”

Yan wrinkled her nose while staring at the woman.

“You will regret it if you take her with you.”

Yan wasn’t sure whether it was her illusion or not, but she noticed that the abusive man glanced at Han Qing distractedly. There was a strange kind of emotion in the abusive man’s eyes, but Yan couldn’t pinpoint what it was. Just when Yan tried to look closer, the woman screamed behind her and fainted, collapsing against Yan.

In the end, Yan called the police as well as an ambulance. The police arrested the abusive man’s whereas Yan accompanied the woman, who had passed out, to the nearest doctor.

The woman was severely injured. Yan stayed by her side as the doctor treated her injuries. She stared at the horrible wounds across the woman’s body—there were even injuries in her private parts… The woman was heavily scarred. It is clear that… the abusive man isn’t just involved in domestic violence. In fact, he is sexually abusive toward his wife and in their marital affairs. I can’t help but pity this woman in front of me. She is too pitiful.

After treating the woman’s wounds, the doctor shook her head at Yan. “There are too many wounds all over her body. Apart from these new injuries, she has countless old wounds and scars. Besides, these injuries were recently inflicted. How did she even survive that sort of environment?”

Yan trembled in horror when she heard that. How did she manage to live with such a temperamental man?

Han Qing followed the police to make a report since the police took the abusive man away with them. After all, he was a witness at the scene. Yan waited in the ward since he hadn’t returned.

The woman Yan saved regained consciousness eventually. Yan smiled at her. “Are you finally awake?”

The woman glanced at Yan before scanning the room automatically. “Are you alone?” she asked.

That was an odd question, but Yan did not overthink. She assumed that the woman was worried that the abusive man was still around, so she explained, “Yes, I’m alone. The doctor just treated your wounds. Besides… I called the police in the end.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1212

The woman remained silent for a moment before speaking to Yan, “Anyway, about this matter, thank you so much. My name is Lin Qin’er. What’s yours?”

Yan flashed her a pure smile. “My name is Zhou Xiaoyan!”

“Yan…” Lin Qin’er mumbled Yan’s name while being deep in thought. “Is the man with you your hubby?”

Yan blushed at the term ‘hubby’. She scratched her head embarrassedly while shaking her head in denial.

“No?” Lin Qin’er stared at Yan in confusion. “Aren’t you two having a vacation together?”

“Yes.” Yan nodded while explaining, “I’m having a vacation with him, but we aren’t a married couple. We are just boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Lin Qin’er smiled faintly when she heard that. “I see. I noticed that he treats you well.”

Is that so? Yan blinked several times and she was secretly happy. Isn’t it great that even an outsider can tell that Han Qing treats me well?

Just when Yan was lost in her thoughts, Lin Qin’er spoke again, “However, he seems cold and distant. Has his personality always been like that?”

Yan was not suspicious when Han Qing’s name was mentioned, so she nodded. “Yup, he is slightly cold and distant. In fact, he’s always been like that.” However, from her point of view, he was stable—rather than cold and distant. He was completely different from Ye Moxuan because the latter was truly cold toward others. In fact, Ye Moxuan was so arrogant that he wouldn’t chat with strangers. On the other hand, Han Qing was different because he chatted with others while maintaining a chivalrous manner. Nevertheless, it still gave people the sense that he kept them at arm’s length. This was what Yan loved about Han Qing.

Looking at how in love Yan was, something odd flashed through Lin Qin’er’s eyes, which encouraged the latter to start chatting nonstop with the former. Yan never realized it at the start, but she suddenly noticed something odd. Why is Lin Qin’er constantly asking about Han Qing? Why is she asking so much about him?

Yan was always straightforward, so she asked Lin Qin’er directly without a second thought, “Why are you asking so many questions?”

Lin Qin’er looked embarrassed when she heard that. “I’m so sorry. I noticed how your face lights up whenever you talk about him and you seem really happy. You must be really in love with him. You helped me, but I can’t do anything to repay you. That is why… the least I can do is to chat about the person you’re in love with.”

Everything made sense suddenly after Lin Qin’er’s explanation. In fact, Yan blushed deeply when she heard that, denying, “My face never lights up whenever I talk about him…” Despite her denials, Lin Qin’er’s words made her wonder to herself, Are my emotions so obvious? It looks like… I’m much more in love with him than I expected.

Lin Qin’er’s explanations had lowered Yan’s suspicions and the latter only felt shy when Han Qing’s name was brought up. Furthermore, Yan assumed that Lin Qin’er continuously and intentionally brought up Han Qing’s name to see how demure the former was. This continued until… someone knocked on the hospital’s room door.

Yan snapped back to her senses before getting up to open the door in a hurry. She saw the handsome Han Qing, who stood just outside the door. She hadn’t collected herself after becoming shy while chatting with Lin Qin’er earlier, so her cheeks were still rosy red. “You’re back!”

Han Qing paused as he started at Yan, whose cheeks were flushed red. Her eyes brightly shone while she stared at him in anticipation. This might have been a hospital, but Yan’s actions made Han Qing feel that he was returning home. It feels as if… we are husband and wife. It’s like she’s my wife and waiting at home for me.

Han Qing felt the warmth spreading within his chest before raising his palm to caress her head while ruffling her hair gently. “Yeah.” His voice was soft and gentle.

Lin Qin’er witnessed that scene and she recalled the situation she was in with her husband. He has never looked at me with tenderness, let alone such a gentle gesture.

“By the way, what happened after you went to the police station? That man…” Yan asked in a hurry after returning to her senses.

At the mention of that issue, Han Qing’s gaze turned distant. “Well, he’s being locked up temporarily to teach him a lesson.”

Temporarily? Yan immediately guessed that it must’ve been a short period. After all, it was a fight between the married couple. Hence, the police would only be able to issue him with a warning since he never committed a serious crime. “What about her? Her whole body is covered in injuries…” Yan trailed off before whispering to Han Qing, “Should we take her along with us for the next two days?”

Just as Yan completed her sentence, Lin Qin’er lifted her quilt to get out of her bed and sobbed loudly, “President Han, I thank you both for saving me. However… I’m sure he will beat me to death once he’s released… I’m sure of it.”

Yan frowned deeply when she heard that. When it comes to situations like this, it’s really impossible to ignore its future consequences. “Don’t worry. We will help you.” She went over to help Lin Qin’er up. Lin Qin’er leaned against Yan’s shoulder, staring at Han Qing with tears rolling down her pitiful face.

Most of the time, men liked weak and vulnerable women. The more powerful a man was, the more he enjoyed rescuing and protecting a damsel in distress. Lin Qin’er might have sustained some injuries across her face, but she was confident with her looks. Hence, she leaned against Yan intentionally to show Han Qing her vulnerable and weak side.

In reality, Han Qing never noticed Lin Qin’er’s actions because he only had eyes for Yan. Yan had her back facing him, but his gaze was focused on the back of her head unblinkingly. Lin Qin’er had cried for a very long time, but she realized Han Qing never spared her a glance, which infuriated her until she trembled in anger.

Yan noticed Lin Qin’er’s reaction and assumed that it was out of fear before patting the latter’s back soothingly. “It will be alright. Don’t worry. We will help you to the end since we are involved now. You should recuperate in the hospital for now. We will help you to contact your family. What do you say?”

However, Lin Qin’er stated pitifully, “T-To be honest, I don’t have any other family members. My parents passed away when I was a child. As for my relatives… They are afraid of my husband taking revenge, so they would never help me.”

Yan noticed a huge problem when she heard that. Initially, I was planning to send her safely back to her parents. Who would have expected… that she doesn’t even have any family members who care for her? Well… What should I do under these circumstances? She realized that she was handed a hot potato to deal with, but even if she had to choose again, she would never be able to ignore another woman being beaten up without landing the victim a helping hand. Hence, after pondering for some time, Yan shot Han Qing a pleading look.

Han Qing’s gaze softened when he saw Yan gazing at him for help and asked her, “What would you like to do?”

Before Yan was sure of what she wanted, Lin Qin’er started sobbing again, “Why don’t you… leave me alone? I’ll be beaten up after his release anyway. You both shouldn’t trouble yourselves. I will never forgive myself if I drag you down with me.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1213

In the end, Yan brought Lin Qin’er to the hotel because the former had suggested for the latter to recuperate in the hospital. This was to buy Yan some time to think of her next plans while she was back in the hotel. However, Lin Qin’er refused the suggestion and claimed that she was afraid of staying in the hospital alone, insisting that she was apprehensive that her husband might suddenly appear and she’d be in deep trouble.

Lin Qin’er cried her eyes out while she pleaded with Yan. Yan eventually asked helplessly, “What should we do?”

Lin Qin’er wiped her tears away. “Where are you living? May I stay with you temporarily for two days? Don’t worry because I will purchase a flight ticket home two days later. I will not cause trouble for you.”

Yan felt that she was pushed into a corner since Lin Qin’er said that. Hence, she agreed to Lin Qin’er’s request in the end. With that, there was suddenly an extra person with her and Han Qing on the holiday. Yan was disappointed with this knowledge, but she dismissed that feeling swiftly.

Lin Qin’er was gazing at her reflection in the mirror amidst the mist while scanning the large bathroom. After that, she glanced at the clothes Yan gave her while smiling faintly to herself. She is truly a young girl—even her clothes are so childish. I wonder how she conquered a man like Han Qing. Do men like young girls who look like stick figures?

After learning that Yan and Han Qing weren’t a married couple, Lin Qin’er had other plans in mind. To be honest, she did not harbor any plans in the beginning. However, Han Qing was an outstanding man—in fact, he was exceptionally handsome while radiating an irresistible charm through his actions and behavior.

When Han Qing dislocated the abusive man’s arm, it so happened that Lin Qin’er looked up in that moment and witnessed the scene. Compared to Han Qing, my hubby is like a clown whereas Han Qing… is handsome and almost as perfect as God. Just look at the young girl he has by his side. She’s childish and she’s stick thin. Besides, she isn’t as pretty as I am. I can’t believe a woman like Yan managed to land such an outstanding man like him. What about me? I look prettier than Yan and even have a much better figure. Why am I the one being beaten up and abused by a useless man? That was how Lin Qin’er’s thought was planted in her mind and… the thought rapidly grew and before long, the sapling grew into a towering tree. I want this man! I have a great opportunity presented in front of me. I just need to approach him by making use of Yan while showing him my best side. I need to show him that I’m better than Yan and maybe…

Lin Qin’er’s smile turned evil when she thought of that. Young lady, oh, my dear young lady! Please don’t blame me for using you. You only have yourself to blame for your foolishness…

At that moment, Lin Qin’er believed that everything would work out in the manner that she planned and she wouldn’t need to worry about anything. With my outstanding skills, I’m sure I’d be able to conquer that man easily. Only a useless man like my hubby would vent his frustrations on me despite achieving so little in life. I must get rid of him! Han Qing is my target!

In that instant, Yan, who chatted with Han Muzi in the hotel room, was oblivious to the fact that her boyfriend was another woman’s target. Currently, Yan reiterated what happened earlier in the day to Han Muzi angrily. “I’m telling you, I’ve never seen such a useless man. He held her down on the ground while beating the crap out of her. Isn’t he her hubby? It felt like he was beating a bad person when he hit her. How could such a man exist?”

Han Muzi and Yan communicated via video call, so the former helplessly stared at the latter through the screen. She noticed that Yan’s face was flushed in anger and softly consoled, “Alright now, don’t be angry. This is someone else’s affair and that’s their decision. If she truly wants to resolve this matter, you wouldn’t have to do anything at all.”

“What do you mean? She couldn’t defend herself at all when he was beating her. Her whole body is covered in injuries. In fact, she has both new and old wounds… I was shocked when I saw it.”

Han Muzi might not have been present, but she was able to vividly imagine how severe Lin Qin’er’s injuries were through Yan’s description. Hence, Han Muzi scowled as she answered Yan, “It’s good to help others, but you are both on vacation. You should be careful too. If that man is truly violent, he might seek revenge since you’re involved in his affairs now.”

After listening to what Han Muzi said, Yan thought it made sense and nodded gravely. “Muzi, don’t worry. We will be extra careful.”

The two of them then chatted about random stuff before hanging up on the call. As soon as Yan hung up on the call, she looked up and saw Lin Qin’er exiting the bathroom. Amidst the steamy fog, Lin Qin’er wore Yan’s clothes. This particular set of clothes, which was loose on Yan, became a figure-hugging piece for Lin Qin’er and complimented her figure. In fact… What stunned Yan the most was how shapy Lin Qin’er was—her voluptuous figure radiated an alluring lusciousness and feminine sensuality.

Yan was stunned into silence and the corners of her lips twitched involuntarily. It turned out that the same clothes give off different vibes when worn by different people. The clothes might have made Yan look like a high school student, but it was undeniable that men wouldn’t be able to look away from Lin Qin’er when she wore Yan’s attire.

Lin Qin’er smiled faintly at Yan, somewhat intentionally swaying her figure. “How is it? Do you think it’s inappropriate for me to wear your clothes, Yan?” As Lin Qin’er was older than Yan by 7 to 8 years, she addressed Yan as someone who was younger.

Yan snapped back to her senses while shaking her head hastily. “No, of course not. It looks good on you; heck, you even wear it better than I do.”

Lin Qin’er smiled shyly when she heard that before sensually tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. After that, she scanned the surroundings. “Hang on. Are you alone?”

Yan realized what Lin Qin’er meant and nodded awkwardly. Something odd flashed across Lin Qin’er’s eyes before she approached Yan and wrapped an arm gently around the latter’s shoulders. “Don’t you two sleep together since you’re here on vacation together?”

This is… such a private question… Yan shook her head in honesty even though she was unsure what Lin Qin’er might ask later.

Lin Qin’er’s lips parted in shock when she heard that. “I can’t believe you two don’t sleep together. Could it be that… the two of you haven’t done it?”

Yan’s eyes widened as she blushed furiously and tightly grabbed onto Lin Qin’er’s hands.

“Hey, there’s no need to be so embarrassed. I am a woman just like you. He wouldn’t even know if we are talking about this. Why are you so scared?”

Yan shook her head lightly. “I’m not afraid. I’m just—”

“Yan, you are easily shy. Even though we’re both women, you’re still shy. Well, if he truly wants it one day…”

Lin Qin’er trailed off, but Yan knew what was being referred to, hence, her ears turned a light pink in color.

Lin Qin’er smirked in her mind when she saw Yan’s reaction. It seems like she is truly a clueless little girl. Previously, I thought that she must be exceptionally skillful to have conquered a man like Han Qing. Who would have guessed that the both of them haven’t even slept together?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1214

Nevertheless, this plays out in my favor because I’m confident in my skills. I just need to let the man have a taste and he’ll realize immediately that the little girl isn’t charming at all. Lin Qin’er commented when she thought about Yan’s reply, “Alright, I know you’re shy. In that case, I won’t comment further, but…”

“Huh?” Yan glanced at her in confusion, but still curious on what Lin Qin’er had to say.

Lin Qin’er appeared torn. “I think it’s best that I not tell you. After all… that might not be the truth.”

That had Yan immediately curious. If Lin Qin’er never made her comment, she wouldn’t have had Yan hooked onto her every word. Yan now wanted to know what Lin Qiner had to say because she was curious as to why the latter couldn’t speak of it. “Miss Lin, go ahead and tell me.”

“Are you sure you want to hear this?” Lin Qin’er glanced at Yan hesitantly.

Yan mumbled in acknowledgement while nodding earnestly.

“Alright, I’m reluctant to do so, but I’ll tell you since you truly want to hear about it. At first, I didn’t want to say anything, but… you helped me and even stood up for me at that critical moment. In fact, you brought me all the way here, so I should tell you some of my inner thoughts.”

Yan looked puzzled when she heard that. I honestly am not quite sure what Lin Qin’er is trying to do here. “Miss Lin, what are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush.”

Lin Qin’er cleared her throat softly and her facial expression wasn’t natural. “To be honest, a man and a woman… wouldn’t interact like the two of you. If the man was in love with you, he would desire you in that aspect. Forget that part… you two aren’t even staying in the same hotel room while having a vacation together. Not to mention, you both haven’t even…”

Lin Qin’er stalled when she arrived at that part. Although she never picked up from where she trailed off, Yan guessed what the rest of the former’s sentence meant. “Miss Lin…”

“I am not hinting at anything. I just thought that he shouldn’t lead you on especially since you’re such a kind-hearted person. Hence, I’m telling you my sincere thoughts. There is a possibility that he’s staying in a separate room because he respects you instead of not being interested or not in love with you.” Lin Qin’er was quick to correct herself, but Yan took everything that was said to heart.

Usually, it would have been easier to guess what Lin Qin’er’s motive was—if Yan had paid more attention and mulled over it. However, at that moment, Yan was blinded by love. After I woke up, I realized that Han Qing reserved another room for me. However, I tried to convince myself not to read too much into it, but I still wondered whether Han Qing… is truly in love with me as I have imagined. We did hug and kiss, but…

“It’s fine. You shouldn’t overthink. I was spouting nonsense just now. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Yan forced a smile while answering her softly, “Don’t worry, Miss Lin. I will not take it to heart. It’s getting late now and you should rest.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qin’er went ahead to sleep whereas Yan took some clothes into the bathroom for a shower. After Yan closed the bathroom door, she leaned her back against the door and stood there without moving. Lin Qin’er’s remarks continued to echo in Yan’s mind.

After a few minutes, Yan shook her head firmly to clear her mind. No! Why am I entertaining these foolish ideas? We finally got together after experiencing so many challenges. Han Qing has always been a cold and distant person to start with, but he’s changed so much ever since he’s been with me. Previously, he unbuttoned his shirt in front of me, but I was so shocked that I stopped him by grabbing his hands. He even said that I’d see it when the time is right! The right time hasn’t arrived yet since he’s not spending the night with me in the same room! Yes! After all, we just got together not too long ago. I shouldn’t entertain these foolish ideas!

Yan soon discarded those distracting thoughts before having a quick shower. Her hair was wet after her shower, so she walked out of the bathroom while drying her hair. However, she froze the moment she took her first step out because there was an extra person in the room—Han Qing.

He sat on the chair by the table with both feet planted firmly on the floor. His face was calm and distant while Lin Qin’er poured a glass of red wine and approached him. “President Han, here is some wine,” she announced in a gentle and soft voice.

Lin Qin’er bent slightly to place the wine glass on the table beside Han Qing. Yan was not sure whether her mind played tricks on her—when Lin Qin’er bent down, it seemed as if she moved forward to rub against Han Qing unintentionally. Just when her waist was about to graze against Han Qing, Yan’s eyes widened in horror and she was about to say something, but he avoided Lin Qin’er’s touch swiftly and silently. He stood up and glared at Lin Qin’er with a deadly gaze.

Lin Qin’er’s eyes flashed in astonishment. I lowered my collar on purpose just now and I even softened my voice and footsteps when I got closer to him. I can’t believe he has no reaction whatsoever. In fact, I think he just avoided me. Was it by chance or did he do that intentionally? However, she refused to give up… My perfect and seductive figure is much better than that woman with a stick figure. How could he not be attracted to me if he’s a normal man?

Just when Lin Qin’er was about to try her luck again, Han Qing spotted Yan walking out of the bathroom and fixed his gaze on the latter. He walked toward Yan before Lin Qin’er had the chance to approach him. “Are you done with your shower?” Han Qing still retained his calm and distant expression when facing Yan, but his gaze and tone were gentler and more tender.

Yan had no idea what happened, so she remained standing where she was and blankly stared at Hang Qing while he walked toward her.

“Yeah,” Yan responded to Han Qing while nodding reflexively. Then, she looked at Lin Qin’er before glancing at him. “Why are you here?”

Han Qing smiled lightly while gently caressing Yan’s with his large hand. “Pack your things.”

“Huh?” Yan stared at Han Qing in confusion. “Pack my things?” What happened? Why did he ask me to pack my things all of a sudden? If this was happening in a comic book, there would be multiple question marks popping up on the top of my head right now.

“Be good and do as I say, alright?” Han Qing refused to explain further. Instead, he insisted for her to gather her things. Yan had no idea what happened, but she did as instructed. After that, she wrapped her wet hair up swiftly and started to pack her items. She didn’t bring many things, so it took a short time for her to pack. Once she was done packing, she walked to Han Qing’s front and he took her suitcase naturally from her.

“What happened?” Yan couldn’t stop herself from asking.

Lin Qin’er, who stood at the side, was obviously not doing well. She had a smile across her face, but she was obviously not fine. She rushed toward them in a hurry while staring at the suitcase in Han Qing’s hand. “What happened? Am I troubling the both of you? Why don’t I leave if that’s the case?” With that, Lin Qin’er turned around to leave.

Han Qing maintained a dark expression without commenting. However, Yan felt embarrassed, so she stopped Lin Qin’er. “Miss Lin, hang on.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1215

Lin Qin’er had no choice but to stop in her tracks since Yan was calling for her. However, Lin Qin’er’s eyes reddened with tears and she sobbed, “I am really sorry. I would have stayed in the hospital if I knew that I’d cause both of you so much trouble. However… I am really afraid of staying in the hospital alone at night, sob…” She started to cry her eyes out while she explained herself.

Yan frowned while tugging at Han Qing’s arm and mouthing at him. ‘What happened?’

Han Qing looked at the young lady in front of him who wore a shower cap over her head. She has no makeup on her fair and dainty face. Her eyes are as clear as crystal—just like a simple girl who knows nothing about the world. He felt helpless, so he held onto Yan’s hand. “There’s only one bed here. You should move into the next room with me.”

Yan remained standing still when she heard that, feeling as if his words were a blow to her head. Otherwise, why do I see so many stars? However… Why is Han Qing asking me to move to his room suddenly? Did Han Qing overhear our conversation earlier? No, that’s impossible. In that case, why? Unfortunately, Yan was unable to figure it out despite racking her brain.

Han Qing glanced at Lin Qin’er as his tone became polite yet distant. “Miss Lin, don’t worry. We will help you to the end by appropriately sorting things since we are involved in this matter. You should stay here without any worry for the next few days. Feel free to phone room service if you need anything.” With that, Han Qing left the hotel room with Yan’s suitcase while holding onto her hand.

Slam! Lin Qin’er, who was standing at the same spot, clenched her fist when the room door was slammed shut, causing the color to be drained from her pretty face! Damn it, that man! How dare he humiliate me in such a way! He even took Yan with him! It’s as if he’s afraid that I’m some kind of a demon!

She was blinded with anger and was about to smash the things in the room. However, she refrained from doing that after weighing her options. No way. I have to calm down. That man is not an ordinary man. It wouldn’t make sense if I had succeeded in seducing him effortlessly. I should put in more effort to seduce him, so I have to calm down to devise a plan. I can’t possibly return to that scary man. Otherwise, I’d have nothing to look forward to apart from the constant torture and abuse. Hence, my target is Han Qing. As for Yan, ha! She’s just a young girl whom I can easily influence. What does she have to compete with me? Lin Qin’er smirked at the thought.

On the other side, Yan was still bewildered when Han Qing pulled her hand as they walked. They arrived at the neighboring hotel room soon enough. When she entered the room, he specifically took a pair of sandals for her before walking into the room with her suitcase.

Yan looked down at the sandals. These aren’t the right size again… Nevertheless, she shuffled closely behind him. She saw him placing her suitcase and just couldn’t help but tug against the corner of his shirt.

After placing the suitcase, Han Qing turned around and saw Yan standing behind him while tugging at his shirt. She eagerly looked up at him although her clear eyes shone with doubt. He raised his hand to gently tap her head. “What is it?”

She pressed her lips together while blinking several times. “You know what I’m asking.”

“Your hair is still wet. Aren’t you planning to blow dry your hair?”

She obviously never cared for this question because she wanted to know about something else. Hence, she stubbornly stood still. The next thing she knew, he held onto her wrist when he spoke to her. “You should blow dry your hair first. You wouldn’t want to catch a cold.”

Thus, Yan had no choice but to blow dry her hair under Han Qing’s insistence. She planned to blow dry her hair in the beginning, but he unexpectedly helped her with that.

Hence, Yan sat quietly on the chair while Han Qing blow-dried her hair for her. It was most likely due to her nerves because her legs were squeezed together and her hands were placed obediently on her thighs. “What’s going on? Why do I have a feeling that you… don’t really like Lin Qin’er?” she blurted out the question after hesitating for a long time.

The man standing behind her did not react in an odd manner. Instead, he answered calmly, “She is a stranger after all. It’s not safe for you to stay with her alone.”

Well, that sounds reasonable. However, I don’t think it’s as simple as that. “Is that the only reason?” she asked while blinking her eyes.

Han Qing switched off the hair dryer and he attended to her hair while asking her in a gravelly voice, “Otherwise, what were you hoping for?”

“Um…”

Before Yan could answer him, Han Qing suddenly bent down to her to press his chin against her shoulder. She felt his hot breath caressing her neck. “Just treat it as me wanting to take you to my room. Is that okay?”

Yan was rendered speechless when she heard that. She was about to faint at that moment because Han Qing had provocatively said those words to her by her ear. In fact, he deepened his voice on purpose, so his voice was extremely husky. He sounded as if a scorching knife slashed across his throat and it felt intense.

Her eyelashes fluttered and he carefully pulled her backward. Hence, Yan ended up in Han Qing’s embrace, but her vision swiftly turned black when Han Qing kissed her. The kiss, which came along with a crisp scent that was unique to Han Qing, shrouded over her. She was overwhelmed by Han Qing’s scent.

Due to her position, Yan was forced to tilt her head up while resting her head on Han Qing’s thigh. Hence, She clearly saw that he was kissing her while he bent over. She blinked several times while admiring how strong his core muscles were, but she snapped back to her senses upon feeling a sharp pain on her lip.

Han Qing flicked her forehead softly and his eyes reflected a trace of helplessness. “Why are you distracted about something else at this point?”

“Um…” Yan pouted while complaining, “I wasn’t distracted on purpose.” It’s not my fault that the strength of your abdomen seems much more attractive.

“You didn’t do it on purpose?” Han Qing squinted at her when he heard that. He squeezed her lower jaw gently while approaching her. “In that case, are you saying that… I haven’t worked hard enough? Is that why you are distracted?”

Yan’s eyes widened in shock when she heard that. “No! I wasn’t thinking that!” After that, she acted as if she was determined to prove herself. She stood up from his embrace abruptly. However, she did it too aggressively and knocked into Han Qing’s chin. The impact gave her a shock and sent her sitting back down, but she fell sideways as she was in the wrong position. Han Qing yanked her back with an arm, but they ended up falling together toward the bed behind them.

Thud! Thud! Han Qing’s back slammed against the soft bed whereas Yan fell onto Han Qing’s firm chest. In comparison, the impact left Yan in pain. She looked up with distress due to the pain while destroying the excellent atmosphere.

“It hurts…” Yan complained in an aggrieved tone while looking at Han Qing.

Han Qing was at a loss for words. Such a silly young lady. I have a beautiful woman in my arms and we are the only ones in the room. The venue and atmosphere are perfect, but she’s now telling me that she’s hurt. What else can I do? Hence, he reached out to rub her head while asking in a gentle tone, “Where did you hit yourself?”

Yan blushed the minute he asked her that. I fell face first against him. Where else could I have hit myself? In the end, her cheeks were flushed red when she answered, “I hit my face!”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1216

She glared at Han Qing angrily as if he offended her.

“It’s all my fault. Shall I give you a massage?” As soon as he finished his sentence, Yan slapped his hands off. “It’s my face that hurts. How are you going to massage it?”

“Who said that you can’t massage your face?”

“Tell me then. How are you going to massage my face?” Yan felt his arms around her waist tightening the next second and before she could react, she felt the world spinning. She was already underneath Han Qing when she regained her senses.

The air seemed to have stilled for a few seconds. When Yan realized what went on, her breathing stopped—she clearly felt the shape and the lines of the person above her and she didn’t dare to move. She only lay there blankly like a marionette!

“Lost your mind?” Han Qing held her fair face with both his hands and whispered, “Didn’t you say it hurts? Let me check.”

Yan was speechless. Then, Han Qing played around with Yan’s face for the next few moments. He said that he was going to check on her injury yet he had fun pinching her face. His usual cold gaze was actually filled with warmth and happiness as he nipped her face into different facial expressions.

Although Yan didn’t have a mirror and was unable to see what she looked like, she could totally imagine how ugly she was. At first, she was still muddle-headed and didn’t dare to move, but she was soon enraged when she realized that Han Qing pranked her. She was so mad that she raised her arms and pushed Han Qing’s hands off. “B*stard! Don’t touch my face!” Yan never realized that her tone was coquettish and she even glared at him.

The young lady before him was energetic—she would be happy, would fool around, and would also be mad.

Meanwhile, Han Qing was always calm. His forbearance and control was his pride—as long as he could keep everything under his control. But now… all these slowly left, making him lose his control before Yan.

Just like earlier… He wanted to kiss her, but he held back. Han Qing was afraid that he would scar the young lady in such a small space, so all he did was pinch her face. Watching Yan’s face being transferred into different facial expressions under his hands made him feel more lively. However, it maddened the young lady and she now glared at him.

Han Qing’s heart skipped a beat and he wanted to bend forward… but he knew he couldn’t do so. They had just started dating and hadn’t reached that step, so it’d be better if he didn’t scare her off.

Thinking as such, Han Qing’s hands, which were on the bed, clenched into fists before they tightened. He then lay next to Yan. “All I did was pinch your face. If you are mad, I’ll let you pinch mine too.”

Yan’s eyes brightened when she heard that, even though she was still angered. Pinch him back? “Can I do so?” She stared at his handsome but cold face and started to imagine his face with different expressions. Hahaha. She found it hilarious just by thinking of it. He must have pinched my face and made me look ugly just now. I have to take revenge on him later on. If possible, I shall find the opportunity to take a photo of it and make it my wallpaper!

Yan was someone who wore her thoughts on her face. She had already expressed all of her thoughts on her face when she thought about it. Han Qing sighed inside when he looked at her, expressing his love for her in his eyes. “You can. I’m your boyfriend and of course you can… do anything you want,” he added helplessly. He paused for a while before continuing his words, but he had no idea whether she understood him.

However, he soon learnt that she never understood what he meant when he saw her excitement and actions—or maybe she never listened to him as all of her focus was on taking revenge on him. Even if he had other thoughts, it all vanished into thin air.

Yan glared at Han Qing angrily after she got her revenge. “Don’t move. I want to take a photo!”

Upon hearing that, Han Qing couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Take a photo?”

“Yes!”

“Don’t take photos.”

Yan was about to take the photo and she pouted after she heard Han Qing. “Will you be unhappy if I take photos of you?”

“Hmm?”

“But you were so happy when you bullied me earlier and now… I want to get back at you!” Yan looked into his eyes seriously and said.

They stared at each other for a moment before Han Qing’s thin lips curved upward a little. “Are you sure about this?”

Yan nodded her head in certainty. In the end, Han Qing had no choice but to give up. “Fine. Do it. Just don’t share the photos. After all, only you, my girlfriend, gets to see this side of me.”

Yan was satisfied when she heard his doting voice. She quickly switched on her phone’s camera and took a few photos of Han Qing’s handsome face continuously. After taking the photos, Yan realized that Han Qing, who was lying on the bed, actually looked pretty hot just now. She looked at the photos and realized that it all looked good. What is going on? I was going to take ugly photos of Han Qing! How can I forget to pinch his face?

Just when Yan was about to reach out toward Han Qing with her demon hands, he suddenly grabbed her thin wrist and asked quietly, “Shall we take a photo together?”

Yan’s attention was immediately attracted to the words ‘photo together’. “Photo together?”

Han Qing’s handsome face had a faint smile on it. “Don’t you girls like it?”

As he mentioned it, she touched her phone’s front camera subconsciously. She had seen many couples taking photos together when they were on their trip today and wanted to do so then, but she lacked the courage to ask. Therefore, they didn’t have any photos together. She never expected him to suggest it himself.

As Yan thought about it, she became troubled and looked at Han Qing indecisively. She refused to say whether she was willing or unwilling. “But it’s late and there isn’t any scenery around. How are we going to take the photo?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Han Qing exercised some force on his arms and Yan fell into his embrace. His chest was wide and warm—a perfect spot for Yan. He was hugging Yan and she was still lost when she heard him speak, “You can take it now.”

She was beyond words. So our posture now is him hugging me and taking a selfie of us lying on the hotel’s bed? His words left her speechless. What’s wrong with this man’s thinking? I really can’t take a selfie on the hotel’s bed. A photo like this feels embarrassing and might raise misleading thoughts…

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1217

Cough! I was distracted again! Yan quickly shooed away her weird thought and slowly raised her phone up. I’m just kidding. Although a photo like this might be misleading, I’m not going to let an opportunity like this pass, especially when Han Qing took the initiative.

Although Yan was prepared for it, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw their faces on the screen. It might have been because the light was too bright or her mood, but she thought that he looked especially handsome. Such a great man held her in his arms and his broad shoulders were just perfect for her. The scene seemed so harmonious.

Click! Before Yan realized it, she had already taken a few shots in the same position. She couldn’t help but want to shoot again before feeling that they were all the same. Besides, if she took too many photos in the same position, Han Qing might laugh at her. So, Yan soon put her phone away after taking a few shots, but she was a little disappointed.

“What’s the matter?” The young lady’s emotion was written on her face, therefore, Han Qing was immediately able to read her mood.

Yan’s lips pressed against each other as she whispered, “I should’ve taken more photos when we were outside.”

Han Qing looked at Yan, who was in his arms. He couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle her hair. “Let’s take more photos when we are outside tomorrow then, shall we?”

“Really?” Yan looked at him nervously. “Won’t you be annoyed by me?”

Upon hearing that, Han Qing didn’t reply to her immediately. Instead, he stared at her helplessly.

“What’s wrong?” Yan’s heart immediately rose to her throat. Will he really be annoyed by me? Just as her thoughts ran wild, someone had flicked her forehead. She cried out in pain and covered her forehead before hearing Han Qing scolding her. “I told you to take more photos until you are satisfied yet you still thought about all those nonsense. Can you have a little confidence in yourself? I’m right next to you yet you are still thinking about all those?”

He was right—his words enlightened her. He is right next to me, so why do I still keep thinking about all those nonsense?

Thinking about it, Yan suddenly reached out and hugged Han Qing’s waist tightly as she buried her face into his chest. He is real and he is mine. What else do I have to worry about? At least he never had anyone else. Only me.

Han Qing once again raised his arms and was about to put it on her head, but he stopped as he remembered something. He then hugged her thin shoulders and enveloped her in his embrace.

The next day, Yan was still asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door, but she was too sleepy… Her eyelids were so weighted that she could hardly keep them open. Although her body heard the noise, her lethargy forcefully separated her from the outside world.

Knock, knock—

Knock—

There was a long, intermittent knock on the door. Han Qing opened his eyes and his dark pupils were calm without a slight confusion. He looked to his side and took a glance at the little girl sleeping next to him. Her entire body was hidden under the quilt, revealing only her head and her fair face. She was probably disturbed by the knock as her delicate eyebrows frowned. Even her nose was wrinkled up. Her sleepiness seemed to be dissipating from the noise soon.

They had slept together yesterday night, so Han Qing knew that Yan didn’t fall asleep in the beginning. She turned her back against him nervously and didn’t dare to fall asleep—even to the stage where she called his name several times. He pretended to be asleep to ease her nerves, so he knew that she went to the bathroom several times in the middle of the night and didn’t fall asleep until dawn.

Now that Yan heard the knock, her body responded to it but her mind was still muddled. If the knock continued, she could be woken up at any minute. Han Qing sat up with a straight face, got out of bed, wore his shoes and walked quietly without making a sound.

Knock, knock—

The knocking still continued and the nearer Han Qing got to the door, the more he frowned. He could already guess who was knocking on the door. Han Qing quickly opened the door, for he was worried that Yan would be woken up if the knock continued.

Click! It was indeed an acquaintance standing at the door when he opened the door—Lin Qin’er.

Lin Qin’er was elated to see the handsome face that she was expecting. Just as she was about to step in, Han Qing acted quicker than her and closed the door, leaving only a gap. He looked at the person before him with a gloomy face. “Yes?”

Lin Qin’er froze for a moment as she never expected him to be so cold. She forgot the lines that she had been preparing for a long time and stammered, “I-I just wanted to see… if you have gotten up…”

“No,” Han Qing answered in a cold voice. “You can go now.”

Bang! He closed the door right after finishing his sentence.

She had wanted to take a step forward, but the door almost slammed on her face. Anger flashed past Lin Qin’er’s face. She had woken up early, got changed and dolled herself up just to make this man look at her yet he was so cold toward her! Just as she was enraged and felt like banging on the door, the door opened again. She quickly held back her anger and wore her best smile.

“Don’t knock on the door if there are no important matters. It’s rest time in the morning.”

Bang! Poor Lin Qin’er. She barely had the time to put on her best smile and Han Qing closed the door once again after finishing his sentence. She stood there and stared at the door for some time before her face twisted, close to being unable to restrain her anger with the desire of wanting to hit the door.

This was her first time encountering such a difficult, impolite and uncompassionate man! She was pissed off! Why? I’ve already dolled myself up, so why won’t that man take another look at me? Am I worse than that wench who doesn’t have anything? Her face was filled with anger as she turned around and left in dissatisfaction.

Back in the room, Han Qing thought the woman wouldn’t cross her boundaries after he closed the door. If she had the nerve to knock again, he wouldn’t be kind toward her. Just as he walked back and was about to rest for a bit, he saw Yan sitting up and rubbing her eyes as she asked, “I thought I heard someone knocking on the door? Who is it?”

Her voice was still a little coquettish from sleepiness and her eyes were squinting. She couldn’t open her eyes and it was clear that she was still sleepy.

“You heard it wrong,” Han Qing lied without skipping a heart beat.

Heard it wrong? Confusion flashed past Yan’s eyes. Did I really hear it wrong? But I clearly heard someone knocking. Just as Yan was wondering, Han Qing had already taken off his shoes and now sat on the edge of the bed.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1218

“It’s still early. You can sleep for a while if you’re sleepy.”

Indeed, Yan was very sleepy. She was too sleepy to even think about anything else, so after hearing what he said, she nodded her head and continued to lie down. But before doing so, she muttered something to herself, “That’s strange… I clearly heard someone knocking on the door, or was I dreaming?”

Han Qing remained silent.

He glanced back at the girl for a brief moment and became speechless.

She was just talking to herself one second before, but fell asleep soundly the very next second.

This girl really is something…

Han Qing shook his head helplessly and caringly adjusted her blanket. He no longer had the cold and chilly attitude he just put on to face Lin Qin’er.

Han Qing thought that Yan was a stubborn and obstinate girl. However, it turned out that she was still a naive and simple girl…

Because she slept near midnight the night before, Yan slept the very instant she shut her eyes and continued until noon. In between, one of the traveling agents came knocking on the door, but was dismissed by Han Qing, who told him about the postponement.

After Yan woke up from her sufficient rest, she suddenly recalled the scene where she had actually slept with Han Qing in the same bed last night.

But at this very moment, the entire room was very completely silent, and she was all alone in that space.

Yan rubbed her eyes and hazily reached out for her phone.

Could it be that Han Qing had sneaked out as before while she was sleeping? Did he secretly go out and seek pleasure with another woman?

Yan searched her phone to see if Han Qing messaged her, but alas, her inbox was empty. Not even a single message was in sight.

Han Qing wasn’t here, and she did not even receive a single message from him. So where did he go?

As though something popped up on her mind, Yan jumped out of bed and dashed out barefoot to the next door even before tidying up her clothes.

She hastily knocked on the door and was promptly answered by someone. When Lin Qin’er opened the door and saw Yan, she asked in surprise, “Here you are, Yan!”

Gasping for breath, Yan looked at Lin Qin’er without uttering a word.

Seeing this, Lin Qin’er smiled softly. “Why are you so anxious?”

Upon hearing these words, Yan froze. She’s right. Why am I feeling so anxious? Nothing really happened anyway. However, as long as Han Qing was absent without a single message, Yan couldn’t help but think of the scene from the previous night. She was also unclear of Lin Qin’er’s motive. Lin Qin’er was most probably unintentional, but she just couldn’t stop herself from thinking about it.

Looks like I get jealous too easily.

Yan then shook her head while panting. “Oh it’s nothing, I just woke up and suddenly thought of you. Have you had your breakfast?”

With this, Yan naturally put her foot forward, ready to enter the room. Nevertheless, Lin Qin’er blocked her steps as soon as she saw what Yan was trying to do.

“Qin’er?” Yan lifted her head as she gave Lin Qin’er a puzzled look.

With crimson lips and a flushed face, Lin Qin’er stared at her and said, “Didn’t you just wake up? Why don’t you hurry and wash up? Aren’t you all supposed to be going out later?”

Yan became even more doubtful. “How did you know……”

Lin Qin’er smiled sheepishly, and a shy expression seemed to have appeared on her face. “Oh, President Han told me about it.”

Yan felt that her brain had been hit violently by something. As she looked past Lin Qin’er into the room, Lin Qin’er shifted herself and completely blocked her vision before placing both hands on Yan’s shoulders and pushing her out.

“Alright, that’s enough. What are you still thinking about? Hurry up and go get yourself ready.”

After the conversation, Lin Qin’er closed the door even before Yan could react.

After closing the door, Lin Qin’er leaned against the back of the door with a sneer. She was already stupid enough to bring herself to the room. She could even be deceived by just a few words and a little gesture.

Tsk, what’s so good about that young girl who doesn’t know anything? Men may like these girls at first, but they’ll gradually be bored of them. Wait till Han Qing sees her true color! He will abandon her like a useless old pair of shoes.

But before that, she would definitely have to create more misunderstandings.

At the thought of this, the smile on Lin Qin’er’s face grew wider. She was so pleased that she completely forgot who came to her rescue and took her to the hospital when she was beaten up by her husband.

She was so familiar with getting revenge that she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Yan, on the other hand, was being shut outside and stood there completely stunned.

She didn’t think much at first, but the more Lin Qin’er tried to cover up, the more suspicious her actions became. Yan wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion, but she felt that Lin Qin’er acted as though Han Qing was in fact in her room, and she even said that Han Qing told her to go out with him.

Could this be true?

She dared not think much, nor could she directly affirm anything, because she didn’t want to blame anyone.

Therefore, Yan decided that she needed to stay back to reaffirm certain things.

So, instead of leaving, she squatted down by the door with her phone at hand, and texted Han Qing. “I’m awake. Where did you go?”

After drafting and sending out the message, Yan then waited patiently.

Time was passing by. One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

And half an hour passed by.

Although half an hour did not seem like a long time, it felt like a whole century had just passed for Yan who was in the process of waiting.

But Yan was not in a hurry, so she quietly squatted there and waited.

Unexpectedly, she received no text messages, and Han Qing also did not appear. After squatting for a long time, her legs started to become numb. Therefore, she wanted to change her posture before she could squat longer.

But just as she was about to do so, the sound of firm and steady footsteps came from the corridor.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Yan quickly looked toward the direction of the sound.

At a glance, she saw the very person that she was thinking and longing for.

Han Qing was carrying a bag in his hand. As he walked over, he saw a familiar figure squatting by the corridor. It was only after he came nearer that he saw the figure clearly.

Yan’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Han Qing. Ignoring the fact that her legs were numb, she shot right up and ran toward Han Qing.

“Where did you go?”

“Where did you come back from?” Yan questioned while looking past Han Qing.

The girl had an anxious expression on her face, and the questions she asked were weird. Therefore, Han Qing took a look at where she had squatted just now, trying to understand the reason. When he recalled the questions asked, he quickly figured out the entire story.

“I went downstairs to buy something and took the elevator on my way back up. Why? Should I take the stairs on my way back up too?”

As he spoke teasingly, a light smile surfaced on his face.

Yan felt a little awkward and shook her head. “No, I was just… a little worried about you. That’s all. You didn’t even reply to my text message.”

Half an hour had already passed by!

She had squatted out there for a whole half an hour, but it did not matter now. Instead, she was ecstatic!

That was because she had finally verified her suspicion!

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1219

“Oh? A message?”

Pursing his thin lips, Han Qing fished out his phone and pressed it a few times. “Oh, my phone’s dead.”

His phone was really switched off, and Yan directly took it from him. “I’ll help you recharge it then. Why didn’t you fully recharge your phone before heading out? This is a bad habit. Also, did you bring a power bank? If you didn’t, I’ve brought two. I’ll share one with you after this!”

In fact, Han Qing did have all these things. After all, he was a self-disciplined person; he would charge his phone at night so that it could be used for a whole day, but… he stayed in the same room with this girl last night… so he forgot about it.

In front of her, all these traits that he was supposed to be proud of slowly got out of control.

This is bad.

Han Qing reached out to pinch the girl’s fair face with a tint of blush. “That’s nice. Then from now on I’ll leave my phone to you.”

“OK!” Yan did not mind and immediately stuffed his phone into her own pocket. She wanted to sneak back into the room, but when she passed by Han Qing, her collar was held by him.

“Now that the phone problem is solved, shall we discuss another problem?”

With her collar held by Han Qing, Yan asked, “Another problem?”

What problem?

Yan opened her eyes widely. “Is there anything you want to tell me?

Han Qing looked at her with a half-smile.

“Where did you squat just now?”

Yan went silent.

As soon as the question was asked, Yan felt that something was slightly wrong. Guilt-ridden, she avoided Han Qing’s eyes and slightly coughed out. “I just felt like casually squatting around…”

“Felt like casually squatting around?”

“Yes!” Yan nodded her head with all her might. “I noticed that you weren’t here, so I came out to wait for you. Since there’s no other place nearby, I just casually found a spot and squatted there. Did I look like a fool? Hahaha, I won’t squat like that again next time.”

Yan joked as she tried to avoid the topic.

But Han Qing wasn’t the type who could be fooled easily. Just as Yan awkwardly joked about it, Han Qing stared at her with a half-smile. Immediately, her smile faded a little as she awkwardly bit her lower lip.

This was a psychological confrontation. Yan initially planned to play dumb until the end. But, since Han Qing was staring at her like this, she felt very uncomfortable and could only look at him pitifully.

“Alright, I admit I squatted over there on purpose, okay?” Yan bowed her head a little while continuing her explanation, “I didn’t see you when I woke up, and you didn’t leave a message for me. That’s why I went to the next door to check if you were there, and then…”

At this point, Yan’s words seemed a bit hesitant. As she recalled the scene, it seemed that Lin Qin’er’s behavior was quite strange.

Han Qing obviously came back from outside, but why did Lin Qin’er act as though there was another person with her in the room? Did she intentionally want her to misunderstand? Or did…

Unable to think further, Yan suddenly lifted her head and looked at Han Qing firmly. “I’d like to verify something. Can you return to the room first and wait for me?”

At this very instant, the girl became clear-eyed, as though she had already made a decision. Looking at her expression, Han Qing made no objections and asked, “Don’t you want me to stay?”

Upon hearing that, Yan shook her head. “It’s okay, I can handle such a trifle.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

He agreed with what his girl wanted to do and believed that she could solve those things. Although his girl was very naive, she was not dumb, and some things had to be explored by herself.

Yan took a deep breath after Han Qing left. As she tucked her hair behind her ears, she suddenly realised the way she looked right now was a little…

Should she go back and clean herself up first?

Forget it. If she went back right now, the prey would run away right? She’d go now!

Thinking about this, Yan turned around and went back knocking on the door.

As Lin Qin’er opened the door, she was a little surprised to see that Yan was still dressed this way as before. “Yan, I thought I told you to go back and wash up, didn’t I? Why are you still looking like this? You haven’t even changed your clothes…”

As soon as she finished, Lin Qin’er suddenly realized something. “Were you not washing up in your room?”

But Yan just looked past Lin Qin’er with a firm expression that slightly frightened her. After all this time, this girl is still the same. Could it be that she has been guarding outside? And now she’s back knocking at the door again?

Does she want to come in and search?

No, I can’t let her in. It wasn’t easy for Lin Qin’er to create the illusion by taking advantage of the situation. If it was destroyed just like that, there wouldn’t be another chance as good as this in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Qin’er simply came out. “Where did you go? Why didn’t you go back and change? Should I accompany you back?”

Seeing that Lin Qin’er was about to grab her hand, Yan did not avoid her and held her by her arm while saying affectionately, “It’s not that I didn’t go back to wash up. I just happened to notice that I forgot to bring my toothbrush last night, and my facial cleanser seemed to have disappeared too. Maybe I left them while I was packing last night. That’s why I came back to look for them.”

Listening to her words, Lin Qin’er became stiff. She had no idea that Yan would suddenly utter such things.

“Toothbrush? Facial cleanser?”

“That’s right.” Yan nodded. “How can I brush my teeth without a toothbrush? And my skin is a little oily. I need my facial cleanser to wash it clean. Let’s go, Miss Lin, please accompany me to see if my toothbrush and facial cleanser are there.”

As she finished her words, Yan held Lin Qin’er’s arm, preparing to enter the room.

Lin Qin’er realized what Yan was about to do at this moment and swiftly stopped in her tracks. “Wait a minute.”

Yan blinked while looking at her with an innocent face. “What’s wrong, Miss Lin?”

“Did you… really leave your toothbrush here? But, it’s already been a long time since you left, and you only think of washing up now?”

Without a flushed face, Yan nodded and explained calmly, “That’s right, I took a nap as I was sleepy after going back. I just woke up and wanted to wash myself up. That’s when I found out that both my toothbrush and facial cleanser were missing.”

Lin Qin’er stared at her, trying to verify the authenticity of her words. But Yan’s gaze was innocent, and her facial expression was natural. Not even a single trace of lie could be found.

Could it be that what she said was true? Did she really go back to bed? Did she come back after finding out that her toothbrush and facial cleanser were missing just as she was about to wash up?

Although Lin Qin’er started to believe Yan, she still didn’t want to let Yan in and destroy the illusion she had created. Therefore, she spoke softly, “Why don’t you go back first, and I’ll help you search for them and send them to you later?”

Yan blinked while looking at Lin Qin’er. “Will you really send them over to me?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1220

Lin Qin’er smiled and nodded as the girl fell into the trap. “Yes. You should go and change your clothes. By the time you’re done changing, your toothbrush and facial cleanser would be delivered to you.”

Yan smiled happily and nodded. “Okay, thank you. You can bring me those things later. For now, I’ll just go back and have a change.”

Lin Qin’er finally sighed as she watched Yan leave. She was really afraid that Yan would simply rush into the room. As expected, Yan was a little girl who didn’t know anything, so it was not difficult to ease her out. Even so, how could this little girl be so forgetful? How could she even forget her toothbrush and facial cleanser? And now Lin Qin’er had to help to deliver it to her?

Lin Qin’er felt the fire in her heart raging, but she still turned around and went in to help Yan get her toothbrush in order to maintain the image she created for herself. However, even after searching through the whole bathroom, Lin Qin’er couldn’t find the things mentioned by Yan. It wasn’t just the toothbrush, because she couldn’t find any facial cleanser either.

Lin Qin’er placed both her hands on the sink, as she stared at her own reflection in the mirror solemnly. This can’t be right. If she had really left those things behind, it would be impossible that neither of them could be found. If she really couldn’t find them, what else did this mean? It meant that she had been tricked by Yan!

Yan was lying to her face! Lin Qin’er clenched her fist as she realized what had just happened. Damn it! How could she be fooled by a girl who was so much younger than she was? However, Lin Qin’er soon came to realize why the girl decided to make a fool out of her! Did she already realize what was going on? But how could she know what was going on? She didn’t let her in…

Thinking of this, she decided to go out and have a look. After Yan confirmed that her thoughts were true, she wandered back to her room. Han Qing invited her to go over for some milk as soon as she entered the room. However, Yan had not even brushed her teeth. She ran to look for Lin Qin’er right after she got up. So how would she dare to drink milk in this state? Hence, Yan rejected his offer and immediately went to brush her teeth.

While Yan was halfway brushing, she heard a knock on the door. She thought it might be Lin Qin’er who was here to look for her, so she quickly spat her toothpaste out and washed her face. When she was about to go out, Han Qing stood in front of the door and said, “Eat your breakfast.”

“But…” Yan pointed at the door behind him. “Someone is knocking on the door, so I…”

Before she finished, Han Qing grabbed hold of her pale white wrists and dragged her back into the room, pushing her down onto the chair. “Nothing is more important than having your meal. You don’t have to care about anything else now.” He then shoved a bottle of milk into her hands. “You have to finish this.”

Yan blinked and realized that Han Qing didn’t look as if he was joking. She suddenly remembered that she heard someone knocking on the door while she was still fast asleep this morning. She did wake up to ask Han Qing about the knock on the door, but he brushed her off by saying that she misheard it and told her to get back to bed. Han Qing’s current expression was just like the one he had this morning. Could it be that…

Thinking about this, Yan’s eyes widened. “She was here this morning?”

Han Qing glanced at her with a faint smile and nodded. Seeing him admit it, Yan felt a bit upset. She initially thought she was dazed with sleep, but apparently Lin Qin’er really did come to knock on the door.

Yan stared at him suspiciously. “Why did she come here so early in the morning?”

Han Qing merely drank his juice in a leisurely manner as he said, “Who knows?” He didn’t ask why Lin Qin’er came; he just warned her to stop knocking on the door because he didn’t want her to disturb Yan, who was sound asleep. That was why he wasn’t able to answer her question.

“You don’t know?” Yan stared at him questioningly. “Didn’t you attend to her? She didn’t tell you anything?”

Han Qing stared at her and said, “Just stop talking and eat your meal.”

Why am I being cold-shouldered… Yan lowered her head and drank her milk gloomily. As she was being dragged back in by Han Qing earlier, the knocking on the door came to a stop. However, the person had now continued knocking on the door.

Han Qing was just leisurely sitting there even when the knocking on the door was loud and clear. If Yan wasn’t in the same room as him when she heard the knocking on the door, she would have thought that it was all just an illusion in her mind.

Compared to Han Qing, Yan was feeling slightly more self-conscious. She wasn’t able to drink her milk and eat her food in peace, but she was also afraid that if she attended the door without finishing her food, Han Qing would drag her back. Therefore, she had no choice but to devour her food.

As soon as she finished her food, she immediately wiped her mouth clean and stood up. “I’ve finished my food. I shall go and check on the door!” She then tossed the tissue into the dustbin next to her and ran away.

Looking at her hasty figure, Han Qing shook his head and thought, She really has to learn to settle her temper a little more. She’s already this anxious in the face of someone who’s that insignificant. If this persists, she would end up exhausting herself every time she encounters something similar. Hence, he made a decision to train Yan’s temper as soon as this thing was settled.

The sound of the knock on the door seemed to be getting more rapid when Yan walked toward it. The person who was waiting outside had become so impatient that she ended up ringing the doorbell several times. Sometimes the doorbell rang for a long time; sometimes it shrieked for a short while before it subsided.

Normally, Yan wouldn’t let Lin Qin’er wait so long outside. However, after what Lin Qin’er deliberately did to her in the morning, Yan dared not open the door immediately. Therefore, she felt no guilt at all to keep Lin Qin’er waiting outside. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself for battle and went ahead to open the door.

Lin Qin’er got so angry while knocking on the door, but she didn’t want to expose her true colors, so she had to hold herself back from breaking the door. When she finally saw Yan coming up to open the door with that delicate and light-complexioned face, she was overcome by the urge to yell and strike the lady.

However, as she gave it a second thought, she realized that she still had to rely on Yan to get closer to Han Qing. After all, before she successfully got Han Qing on her hook, this little girl would be an important person highly valued by him. As soon as she got rid of this girl, she would definitely teach her a lesson.

After Lin Qin’er comforted herself, her anger finally subsided. She stared at Yan coldly, and there was still a tiny hint of blame in her voice. “Yan, what were you doing in there? You didn’t open the door for me even though I had been knocking for some time.”

Yan noticed her long face, and her eyes were glaring at her, as if she was about to gobble her up. Is this the way to treat a person who just saved your life? Yan always knew not to expect anything in return when helping someone out.

Therefore, when she saved Lin Qin’er, she didn’t expect anything in return. She was happy as long as she was able to help others. Besides, she wasn’t the kind of person who would help with everything. But since the incident happened right in front of her, she couldn’t bear it any longer and decided to help Lin Qin’er. But now that Lin Qin’er was staring at her with such a cannibalistic gaze, it really made her unhappy.
