Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1251

That was what Han Qing meant, but when his words fell into Yan’s ears, she had a different interpretation of them. All she knew from her perspective was that he’d denied this being a marriage proposal. Although it was a misunderstanding, and the two of them had only dated for a short time which didn’t bring them to the stage of proposing marriage, she still felt a tad dejected.

“D-D-Don’t worry. I’m not hoping that you’ll propose. I was just simply spouting nonsense earlier. I…” Taking a deep breath, she hung her head, feeling slightly crestfallen. “So, you truly don’t need me to help you out?” she asked in a low voice. “Actually…” She raised her fair and petite face, her cheeks scarlet. “Even if we don’t get married in the future, I’m willing at this very moment in time.”

When she said this, her eyes were shimmering, inducing great arousal in men. Even without being drugged, a man would still crave her, what was more Han Qing who was currently drugged. If possible, he didn’t want to restrain himself. However, he hadn’t lost his sanity, so how could he take advantage of the woman he loved at such a time? As his thoughts came to this, he again reached out and stroked her head. “We can’t do it even if you’re willing. When it comes to such a matter, it’s the girl who’ll be on the losing end. In the future, you can’t act as you’re doing now whenever or wherever. Do you understand?”

Yan bit her lower lip, looking very much pitiful. “What would you do, then? A night is a very long time. Can you endure it?” She glanced behind him. “Plus, it’ll be bad for your body if you take cold showers all night long.”

“I won’t take cold showers anymore, then. I’ll just stay up tonight. You go and take a shower, then rest earlier.”

Yan still wanted to counter him, but Han Qing pushed her into the bathroom. Feeling extremely depressed, she heaved a sigh while leaning against the sink. She’d said everything she could think of, yet he still held himself back. Knowing that he would never change his mind regardless of whatever else she said tonight, she could only sigh before consigning herself to fate and taking a shower. After she was done showering, she realized she didn’t bring her clothes in, so she went out with a towel wrapped around her body. The room was silent, and Han Qing was nowhere to be found. She searched the entire place before discovering him on the balcony in the cold breeze. Fine, he’d rather weather the cold breeze than to touch me. What a block of ice who doesn’t know anything about being romantic!

She went back to the room in a cloud of despondency. No matter what, her emotions remained turbulent. In the end, she couldn’t take it any longer, so she grabbed her cell phone and started surfing the Internet. She created a private side ID and posted a thread on a love forum, detailing everything that had happened tonight. Subsequently, a bunch of night owls actively participated in the discussion.

User 1: ‘Oh my God, there are still men who can restrain themselves from touching a woman after being drugged? I thought they’re an extinct species now. Actually… I thought they’d never existed at all. After all, the majority of men are easily tempted even without any drug coursing through their systems. Even when one simply beckons with a finger, a man won’t be able to hold himself back anymore. But now, he actually refuses to touch you even after being drugged? Missy, I’m afraid this boyfriend of yours might be unable to get it up…’

User 2: ‘Just a passerby here who doesn’t know the truth, but perhaps User 1 has got it right by chance? After all, since ancient times, it has always been the first person who comments who has the truth of it.’

User 3: ‘I agree entirely.’

User 4: ‘You all need to leave room for maneuver. After all, no one knows whether he can get it up before they officially do the deed. But from the description of the thread owner, I think this man is quite decent. Putting aside the question of whether he can get it up, the fact that he can still restrain himself at such a time proves how strong this man’s willpower and mental fortitude is. This kind of person is also very strict with himself, so he must be a successful person in real life.’

User 5: ‘I think what User 4 said makes sense. There are still incredibly outstanding people in this world, but we just haven’t met them before. However, we can’t just deny their existence simply because we’ve never seen such people. I’d like to offer you a suggestion, thread owner. Since he’s reluctant to compromise you at such a time, you can take the initiative. For instance, seduce him or something. Such a point should be when this man’s defenses are at their weakest. If you like him, when else are you going to pounce if not now?’

User 6: ‘Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is always no.’

User 7: ‘Missy, where did you find this boyfriend of yours? Which category of men does he belong to that his self-control is so incredible? Does he have siblings? If he does, please introduce them to me.’

Looking at all these replies, Yan scratched her head. What nonsense are they all spouting? It feels as though I’d have been better off not asking them. However, she took notice of one of the replies, and it was the one that urged her to take the initiative and seduce Han Qing. Such a point is when Han Qing’s defenses are at their weakest, so when else am I going to pounce if not now? Upon seeing such words, she felt greatly encouraged.

From Han Qing’s perspective, he felt that she would be on the losing end because she was a girl, and the two of them weren’t yet married, so he couldn’t simply bed her. He’s probably afraid that he can’t take responsibility. However, to her, it was a completely different situation. She was entirely certain that he’d be the only man in her entire life. Even if he didn’t marry her in the end, she wouldn’t marry anyone else. Thus, if she grasped this opportunity and slept with him, that was her gain.

As she was mulling it over, someone else replied to her thread. User 8: ‘Thread owner, I’ll just ask you this—do you want to bed him? Are you a woman? If you are, then pounce on him! Don’t wuss out.’

Such a bold and lofty aspiration truly… had Yan’s hand that was holding the cell phone tremble. This user was just too open, but… she actually felt that this user’s words were indeed… an echo of her innermost thoughts. Pounce on him! Who cares whether he’s drugged? Isn’t it even better since he’s drugged? He won’t have the ability to resist at all, and it’ll be easy to ignite a spark! As this thought crossed her mind, the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile. How about… I try? Anyway, I’ve just taken a shower, and I’m not dirty. After making up her mind, she placed her cell phone on the bed. Then, she stealthily walked over to the balcony.

User 9: ‘Why is there no response at all from the thread owner after she’d posted? Shouldn’t she be waiting online for such a thing like a cat on hot bricks? But now, there isn’t even a peep from her. Could it be that something had happened?’

User 10: ‘You’ve got such a dirty mind, User 9. Over.’

User 11: ‘Perhaps User 9 has hit the nail on the head. 10 minutes have passed since this thread has been posted, but the thread owner still hasn’t reacted nor responded. I think… Heh!’

Subsequent users then all joined in to click their tongues, but Yan had no idea what had happened to the thread she’d posted because she’d already made up her mind to seduce Han Qing.

There was a chair on the balcony. Meanwhile, the sea breeze blew over, gust after gust. Thus, when Yan went out, she inevitably found the breeze rather chilly since she merely had a towel around her body, and her fair shoulders reflexively shuddered. Very quickly, she started toward Han Qing with swift strides.

The man who was sitting on the chair had a handsome countenance. At this moment, however, his eyes were tightly screwed shut as beads of sweat trickled down his forehead and neck. All of a sudden, a faint fragrance flooded his nostrils. Realization dawned upon Han Qing, but just as he opened his eyes, a figure hurtled right into his embrace and sat on his lap.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1252

Yan raced forward with all her might and plopped onto Han Qing with a whirl of her body. At the same time, her soft and supple hands hooked around his neck.

A glimmer of astonishment flashed across Han Qing’s handsome countenance, and his eyebrows swiftly creased. He grabbed her slender arms on reflex, his voice chilly. “What are you trying to do?”

Yan said nothing, merely clasping her hands tightly around his neck and moving her body close to him. Since she’d made up her mind, she would never retreat at such a time, so to avoid losing her courage, she’d decided not to say anything to him and pounced on him without any explanation. Hugging him around the neck, she recklessly arched in to capture his thin lips.

The young lady in front of him had just taken a shower, and her body still carried faint traces of shower gel fragrance. Not only that, she hadn’t put on any clothes yet and only had a towel wrapped around her. When it came to towels, they were naturally rather secure when left alone, but now that she was squirming on his body, how could her towel still stay fastened? As she moved, her towel had already started loosening. Afraid that the towel would slip down, Han Qing could only hold her waist with a hand while attempting to refasten the towel around her. The young lady, however, moved forward to kiss him without regard for anything else, so he could only dodge.

When he dodged, Yan only managed to kiss his chin. She was a tad chagrined, but she wasn’t discouraged because of this. Instead, she persisted by moving upward from his chin, while her hands that were hooked around his neck moved downward to touch his firm chest.

Han Qing’s expression changed, and he abruptly grabbed her petite, roving hands. “What are you doing?” he asked once again. However, there was no longer any frostiness in his tone this time, for only anxiousness and panting remained. The young lady gently blinked her shimmering eyes at him, but still, she said nothing. After a while, she leaned forward again, but he gripped her waist with one hand, stopping her from moving any closer to him. “Don’t mess with me anymore.” If this continues, something may truly happen. He was restraining himself back so arduously just to avoid doing anything to her at this time, but unexpectedly, she came over herself to fan the flames. This really had him feeling… utterly exasperated.

Yan struggled to lean forward, but his hand locked her tightly in place like steel chains, stopping her from moving forward. Her eyes turned red, and she lamented weakly, “You’re hurting my waist…”

Upon hearing that, Han Qing was momentarily taken aback before his grip loosened a fraction.

No sooner said than done, the young lady took advantage of this loosened hold and surged forward to kiss him.

All at once, Han Qing’s pupils dilated considerably. When he sensed that her towel seemed to be slipping, his brows knitted deeply, and he secured the towel for her.

Meanwhile, Yan was feeling rather smug since she’d managed to kiss him. If it were during the usual times, she’d definitely be worried about her towel slipping, but she was now pouncing on him, so she had no time to pay her towel any mind! Unexpectedly, Han Qing had taken it into consideration on her behalf, so she’d gotten a sweet deal out of it. Thus, as she pecked his lips lightly, she murmured, “We’re on the balcony now, so if you don’t hold me tighter, I might flash someone else…” After saying that, she persistently burrowed into him.

Han Qing was struck dumb. The cold sweat on his forehead had clearly multiplied, and several more veins popped out. Holding her tightly, he turned his body, shielding her in his embrace with his broad back facing outward. This time, he was truly concealing her entirely.

Taking the initiative, Yan kissed his ear before uttering something in his ear while blowing air into it. Since she was sitting on his lap, she could distinctly sense his physical reaction, and the surprised pleasure in her eyes couldn’t be concealed at all. Pursing her lips, she furtively giggled.

Han Qing’s breathing turned a fraction harder. “Since you know we’re on the balcony, why are you still so licentious?” Gripping her chin, he forced her to raise her head, his gaze profound like a dark and silent night.

Pouting, Yan cheekily declared, “I’m just so licentious. What are you going to do about it?”

“You’ve truly considered it? Won’t you regret doing so in such a place and under such circumstances?”

Yan shook her head vigorously. As though fearing that he wouldn’t believe her, she raised a hand and swore, “I won’t regret it. If even a single word I’m saying is a falsehood, then I’ll… Mmph…”

Leaning down, Han Qing captured her lips. The world went silent. A second passed, two seconds… When a minute had passed, Yan’s hands surreptitiously went up to his back. She was then scooped up and carried into the room before she was placed on the soft covers.

Click! The lights were turned off, and the room plunged into darkness.

Yan could sense the man’s searing breath as he asked her while panting harshly, “This is your final chance. It isn’t too late if you regret it now…”

Biting her lower lip, Yan was silent for a long while before she spoke, “I like you. I really like you a lot… so much so that I’ll never fall for another person in my entire life save you. I don’t care what you think, but I know that I’ll never regret this.” I’ll only regret not bedding you. This final declaration was one she merely murmured inwardly, for while she was being bold, she still dared not utter such candid words at this time.

“Silly girl…” In the darkness, one’s senses sharpened. Caressing her cheek gently, Han Qing pressed a light kiss on her forehead before leaning close to her ear and admitting in a hoarse voice, “I like you, too…”

Huh? Before Yan could digest what he’d said, her lips were ruthlessly captured. Then, there was no chance at all for her mind to wander because Han Qing had no intention of restraining himself anymore. In no time, it became Han Qing’s home court, while she merely accepted whatever he doled out. As the ‘match’ progressed, she wholly lost the ability to think and even… the ability to move.

After an indeterminable time, when the sky began lightening, Han Qing carried the young lady who was so exhausted that she was near unconscious to the bathroom for a bath.

Yan’s voice was utterly hoarse, but the hot water washed a third of the weariness off her. Opening her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly. As she gazed at Han Qing who was close at hand, her face inexorably flushed. I have truly… succeeded… The most glorious moment in my life is when I… have finally bedded my crush! She wanted to shout in joy, but she was truly too tired, so her eyes promptly closed, and she didn’t even know how she got back to the bed later.

She only knew that when she woke up the next day, it was already 2:00 in the afternoon. She was famished, her legs shaking, and she had no energy at all. Lying on the bed, she gazed up at the ceiling and contemplated it seriously for a minute before she took out her cell phone and texted Han Muzi.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi was playing with Little Sprout. When she suddenly saw the message from Yan, she almost choked on her own saliva. Cough, cough… She stared at the message, her face flushed. This girl is really too much! Why must she tell me everything?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1253

After her shock had passed, Han Muzi smiled faintly. This girl… is indeed much more aggressive than I’d imagined. She vaguely remembered that Yan had once told her a very long time ago that she’d definitely bed Han Qing even if she had to force herself on him. Now, she’d finally realized her dream of bedding him, but it remains uncertain… whether she’d forced herself on him. Although Han Muzi was rather curious about the answer, she was truly embarrassed to ask such an overly private question that was related to her brother at that.

As she was pondering the issue, another message came from Yan. ‘Muzi, why aren’t you saying anything?’

Uh… Holding her cell phone in hand, Han Muzi looked rather lost for words. Am I… supposed to say something? After deliberating it at length, she could only type back a word in reply. ‘Congratulations.”

Upon seeing this word, Yan was so elated that she couldn’t help rolling on the bed as excitement suffused her. Before she’d rolled on the bed, everything was fine, but after doing so, her entire body felt awfully sore again. Although Han Muzi was Han Qing’s sister, she was Yan’s only best friend, so she couldn’t temper her desire to share it with someone when such a thing had transpired. Now that she’d gotten her congratulations, she was naturally ecstatic inwardly. After she’d calmed down, she bit her lower lip for a moment, but she couldn’t resist the urge to type out a question to Han Muzi. ‘Did it also hurt during your first time with Young Master Ye back then?’

Han Muzi was dumbfounded, feeling torn between laughter and exasperation. This girl truly dares to ask and say anything. However, on second thought, she was Yan’s only best friend, so it must have been difficult for her to bottle everything, for who else could she talk to if not her? As this thought occurred to her, Han Muzi instantly understood her.

However, now that she’d mentioned this, Han Muzi’s thoughts subsequently drifted to the past. Speaking of her first time, it was truly pretty tragic. At that time, she didn’t know who that man was, and she’d just finalized her divorce with Lin Jiang that day. Later that night, she packed her things and left during the night. It was raining heavily, and her clothes were soaked through. She’d also almost gotten hit, and that person then…

When her thought came to this, she was slightly peeved. Ye Moxuan, you b*stard! At that time, you even said that you’re blameless since I asked for it! While she’d also experienced some heart-wrenching times, she’d still gotten together with Ye Moxuan in the end. Thus, recalling the incident back then, she now felt that he was truly a b*stard! At that time, if it were any random woman, would he also have bedded her anyhow?

Biting her lower lip, Han Muzi started typing as this thought crossed her mind. ‘Yes, it hurt, and it felt absolutely horrible.’

Upon seeing this reply, Yan called to mind Han Muzi’s first time, finally realizing that it probably wasn’t a pleasant experience, so she hurriedly changed the subject. ‘Muzi, I said I want to bed your brother, and I’ve truly accomplished it now. Aren’t I incredible?’ At that end, she even added a ‘compliment me for having behaved well’ meme.

Han Muzi went into the meme gallery and searched around for half a day before finally selecting a ‘you’re incredible’ meme.

Then, after they’d casually chatted a while longer, Ye Moxuan came home. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw her looking at her cell phone. As per his customary habit, when he came home after a meeting, he went over to hug her first before gripping her jaw and kissing her.

Han Muzi initially wanted to go along with him, but when the incident earlier came to mind, she pushed him away uneasily.

Since she’d never once pushed him away, Ye Moxuan was entirely stunned for a moment when he was suddenly pushed away at this moment, standing frozen on the spot. After two seconds, his obsidian eyes fell onto her profile, and he asked good-naturedly, “What’s wrong?”

Not in the mood to entertain him, Han Muzi put her cell phone away and scooped Little Sprout up. Ignoring him, she stroked Little Sprout’s chin, her gesture extremely gentle, and Little Sprout giggled happily.

Upon seeing this, Ye Moxuan walked over to her again, but unexpectedly, when she saw him approaching, she whirled around and walked out with Little Sprout in her arms. He was left standing there alone with questions bombarding his mind. Could it be that I came home late from my meeting today, so she’s angry at me? Thinking of this, he followed after her with his long legs.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi carried Little Sprout around Seabay Villa, strolling around. Throughout the entire stroll, Little Sprout gazed around at the novelty with wide eyes, then abruptly started giggling for no reason. “Little brat, don’t laugh like this anymore.” Han Muzi pinched her soft cheeks in exasperation and tapped the tip of her nose with an index finger. “If you continue laughing like this, I’ll think that I’ve given birth to a silly girl.”

Giggle, giggle… Little Sprout didn’t understand what Han Muzi was saying, but her actions once again made her laugh.

“Oh well.” Han Muzi could only sigh. For some inexplicable reason, she felt that Little Sprout’s IQ wasn’t as high as Little Bean, yet she still couldn’t get enough of her. When she carried this girl, she just felt much softer than a boy, looking incredibly adorable. Dipping her head, Han Muzi pressed a kiss on Little Sprout’s forehead, then straightened her clothes. “Let’s go and play elsewhere. Today, we’re going to ignore your bad daddy.”

When her words fell, an exasperated voice rang out behind her. “Why am I a bad daddy now?”

Han Muzi went still for a moment before she glanced over her shoulder. At some point in time, Ye Moxuan had been standing behind her, rendering her speechless. Has he been trailing after me? Casting him a chagrined glance, she made to leave with Little Sprout in her arms without answering him.

Upon seeing that, Ye Moxuan’s eyes narrowed a smidge, and he blocked her path with a swift step, encircling her in his arms. “What’s wrong? You’ve been acting out ever since I came home. Have I angered you?”

Acting out? Han Muzi’s eyes widened. “Who’s been acting out?” She merely didn’t talk to him, so how was that considered acting out?

“Then, tell me what’s wrong first. Is it because I came home late? Hmm?” Ye Moxuan extended a hand to pinch her face, but she dodged him.

“Don’t touch me.” Her tone was slightly frosty, and her expression held no warmth. It seems that she’s truly angry.

Upon seeing her attitude, the expression on Ye Moxuan’s face also turned solemn. “What happened?” Why was it that he’d merely left to attend a meeting, and his wife got angry with him when he came home? She didn’t allow him to hug or kiss her, and now, he wasn’t even allowed to touch her…

“Nothing.” Han Muzi had also realized that her reaction was rather extreme since that was all in the past. “I just don’t feel like talking at the moment. I only feel like spending some time with Little Sprout, so you should go and get busy.” After saying that, she left him and walked away by herself.

Ye Moxuan stood there and pondered for a long time, but he just couldn’t figure it out. Why is she suddenly acting so cold toward me? He didn’t return to his study. Instead, he kept trailing behind Han Muzi. All along, he noticed that she behaved normally, teasing Little Sprout as she walked, and everything was seemingly fine. Then, what is that all about? He couldn’t fathom it, but she didn’t want to entertain him for the time being, so he could only follow after her.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1254

In the end, Ye Moxuan truly couldn’t take it anymore, and he stepped forward to take Little Sprout from her arms. At first, Han Muzi didn’t want to allow it, but since Ye Moxuan normally held Little Sprout often, Little Sprout actually giggled and stretched out her tiny fists at him when he extended his arms to carry her.

Han Muzi who’d wanted to dominate Little Sprout was struck speechless. Isn’t this my biological daughter? How could she abandon her mother when she sees her daddy? Don’t they say that a child always clings to the mother? Although she was chagrined with Ye Moxuan, since Little Sprout wanted her daddy to carry her, Han Muzi naturally didn’t refuse, allowing him to take her into his arms. “You carry her, then. I’m going back to the house to rest for a moment.” She turned around to leave after she’d said that, but Ye Moxuan firmly grasped her wrist.

“You haven’t told me what had happened.” Ye Moxuan easily carried Little Sprout with a single hand. It’d taken a very long time from when he didn’t know how he should hold her and still made her uncomfortable despite being extremely careful in the beginning to the extent whereby he could simply carry her without making her cry now. The Ye Moxuan now could be dubbed a superdad, and as long as he was there, Han Muzi didn’t need to do anything at all.

Han Muzi pursed her red lips, not knowing what to do now that he’d restrained her hand. After all, it didn’t seem to be her style to dig up the past, and if she truly uttered it aloud, it’d make her seem all the more petty. So, what should I say? However, if she bottled it, she’d feel very depressed. In the end, she could only say ‘nothing’ in a morose tone.

Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan instantly chuckled helplessly. His voice was gruff, and as the tip of his tongue pressed against his back molars, even his tone dropped a few notches. “Yet you say nothing? As soon as I came back, you’ve been giving me attitude. Not only did you not allow me to kiss you, but you also forbade me from following you. I just came back from a meeting, so I don’t know what had happened in this house. Did anything unpleasant happen?”

Frowning, Han Muzi looked at him seriously. “So, you mean, you’re already very tired after the meeting, but when you came home, you see me trying to make trouble out of nothing?”

Ye Moxuan was dumbfounded. He felt that she was behaving rather unreasonably today, nitpicking at him when she spoke. After a moment’s stupefaction, he said, “You know I didn’t mean that.”

“What did you mean, then?” Han Muzi demanded. Actually, in regard to this matter, as long as he didn’t trail after her, she would’ve naturally returned to normal at night. However, he just had to ask for trouble and even said such a thing. Failing to suppress her emotions, she mouthed back at him twice, and the atmosphere between them grew tense.

Ye Moxuan naturally sensed that the atmosphere had turned taut, and he gazed at her fixedly. Meanwhile, Little Sprout who was in his embrace seemed to have sensed it as well, for she no longer giggled. She merely had her limpid eyes wide open, her gaze roving as she looked at her parents.

Having realized it as well, Han Muzi pulled herself together and lowered her gaze. “I’m sorry, but I’m not in a good mood today.” She then wanted to turn around and leave after saying that.

However, how could Ye Moxuan allow her to leave? The initial issue hadn’t been settled, so if he allowed her to leave by herself when the atmosphere was so tense, her imagination might run wild. Hence, with a tug of his hand, he pulled Han Muzi who was going to leave into his embrace.

Having not expected this, Han Muzi’s forehead bumped into his chest, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze so happened to meet Little Sprout’s innocent and curious gaze from her spot in his arm. “Have you lost your mind?” When she’d snapped back to reality, Han Muzi berated, “You shouldn’t have yanked me over like that. What if you misjudged your strength, and I knocked into Little Sprout?”

“That’ll never happen. I’ll control my strength well, never allowing either of you to suffer the slightest bit of harm.”

Startled, Han Muzi looked up at him.

Pursing his thin lips, Ye Moxuan wore a serious expression on his handsome countenance as he gazed at her solemnly. “Tell me what happened.” After saying that, he leaned down slightly and gently rested his head against her smooth and lovely forehead, the tips of their noses touching as their breaths mingled. “Hmm?”

With this gentle treatment of his, Han Muzi’s anger was entirely extinguished. Biting her lower lip, she said softly, “If I say it aloud… you might laugh at me.” The two of them had experienced so much, and Han Muzi was also the mother of two children, yet she still couldn’t help turning into a sensitive young maiden before Ye Moxuan. She craved for concern, for someone to cherish her and treat her preciously, shielding her from worries and hardships; that person was naturally Ye Moxuan.

“What else is unspeakable between us?” Ye Moxuan lightly bumped her forehead, and his tone suddenly turned a fraction sterner. “Hurry up and tell me.”

Han Muzi pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. “You’re snapping at me?”

“Yup.” Ye Moxuan’s expression was grim, his eyes a pool of obsidian. “If you don’t tell me, not only am I going to snap at you, I’ll even bully you.”

“What?”

“Like this…” All of a sudden, Ye Moxuan surged forward and bit her lip. Han Muzi couldn’t react for a while, standing there blankly. As she gazed into his eyes, she could distinctly see a glimmer of mirth and affection in them. He moved half an inch back, his eyes narrowed. “If you insist on not telling me, I’ll bully you to the very end.”

Han Muzi was at a loss for words. After spacing out for a few seconds, she stretched out a hand and touched her lips before criticizing him, “Where did you learn such outrageous behavior? Little Sprout… is still here.” How could he kiss me in front of a kid? What a b*stard!

“What does that matter? She’s still young anyway, so she doesn’t understand anything.” After he’d said that, Ye Moxuan’s massive hand clasped her waist and pulled her toward him, plastering her against him. “Are you going to speak up?”

Han Muzi shook her head. “I think I’ll just pass… Mmph…” Before she could finish speaking, he once again leaned down and bit her. This time, however, it wasn’t as simple as earlier. Just now, he made it clear that he was just teaching her a small lesson that was equivalent to a mere appetizer. And now… He’d just gotten started.

Biting her lip lightly, he tormented her repeatedly before prying open her mouth and slipping past her pearly white teeth. Earlier, Han Muzi was still thinking about the past, but she was now breathless from his teasing. As something came to mind, she pushed hard at him, but he was just so strong that she couldn’t move him despite him merely using a hand to hold her. Time passed by the seconds and minutes. After an indeterminate time, Ye Moxuan finally released her. “Are you going to tell me now?” he asked.

Would Han Muzi still dare say no? If I insist on saying nothing, he’ll probably grab me and kiss me again in front of Little Sprout. Shooting him a glare, she then awkwardly told him her thoughts.

After learning why she was angry, Ye Moxuan was momentarily taken aback before a wealth of delighted mirth blossomed in his eyes. “You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder for half a day because of this?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1255

After hearing what he said, Han Muzi glared at him.

“Why is it that, from your tone, this matter doesn’t seem to be that important?”

“How can it possibly be unimportant?” Ye Moxuan lifted his hand to wipe the corner of her lips. His voice was slightly gentler than before as he said, “I thought you were ignoring me because you blamed me for coming home late.”

Han Muzi kept silent. How was that possible?

In order to spend more time with Little Sprout and her, Ye Moxuan had washed his hands clean of almost all company matters. But at the end of the day, the company still belonged to him, so he still had to attend some important functions.

For a major meeting such as today’s, it was a given that it would take at least most of the day. Han Muzi used to work in the company, so she naturally knew how important a meeting like today’s was.

How could she possibly blame him for coming home late?

“I didn’t think you’d think of me as such an unreasonable woman.”

Uh-oh…

Ye Moxuan dared not speak recklessly anymore and changed his statement.

“No, I just felt like I came home late and pissed you off. I deserved it.”

“Don’t change the subject!”

Did I change the subject?

He actually remembered very clearly what happened that year.

But he knew that fate had them meet again. If Ye Moxuan didn’t have Chinese medicine on him that night, maybe he wouldn’t have bumped into her.

Also, if Han Muzi had never divorced her ex-husband, she probably wouldn’t have been walking alone on that deserted road.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Han Muzi looked at him suspiciously. “What are you thinking about?”

“I was thinking…” Ye Moxuan paused for a moment before continuing again casually, “If you didn’t come out that night, I would’ve driven back home and whatever that happened after wouldn’t have happened, so there wouldn’t have been another woman. There would’ve been only two possible outcomes; one was nothing and the other was you.”

In fact, Ye Moxuan had been keeping this in his heart for a very long time, and he truly meant it. But he was also really worried that he would say something wrong and upset Muzi.

When Muzi heard him say “If you didn’t come out that night, I would’ve driven back home,” she couldn’t help cursing him inwardly. Dimwit! However, when Ye Moxuan added “There would’ve only been two outcomes; one was nothing and the other was you,” this phrase alone had her in the palm of his hands.

She gritted her teeth gently as she felt her heart quivering, and all the anger that once boiled from within her just disappeared instantaneously.

“Then…” Han Muzi initially thought of asking more but realized there wasn’t the need for it after some thought. Since he had said so, what else is there that I can complain about?

Even though Han Muzi never said anything after that, Ye Moxuan could tell from the look on her face that Han Muzi was no longer angry.

But, he wasn’t stupid. There was a smile on the edge of his lips, and even though he was smiling, he didn’t seem too kind.

“Muzi, you were on your phone when I came home, weren’t you?”

This sudden question caught Han Muzi by surprise, but she still nodded nonetheless.

“You were chatting?”

Han Muzi nodded again.

“Yan sent you a message?”

Han Muzi started to realize something was off. Although he was usually concerned about her, he seldom interrogated her like today. Could it be…

“In the future, if I was in a meeting and not at home, perhaps you could get her to chat with you so that your mind wouldn’t wander too much,” Ye Moxuan added quickly, most likely because he sensed that she was getting suspicious about something.

Upon hearing that, the thought that was starting to form in Han Muzi’s mind was instantly quelled where it stood, and she felt relieved.

She was terrified, for she thought that Ye Moxuan was going to make things difficult for Yan.

Good thing he isn’t.

“Okay, I got it.” Han Muzi nodded.

“So, you’re not mad at me anymore?” Ye Moxuan asked again.

Han Muzi was speechless.

This man is really annoying! He’s been hugging and kissing me the whole day, yet he still had to ask? Han Muzi was too lazy to be bothered and only responded with a snort. She then said, “In the future, when Little Sprout is around, you can’t just kiss me casually like that. Even though she’s still young, we can’t influence her like that!”

Ye Moxuan pinched lightly on her nose and said, “Okay, I got it. Can we go home now?”

Yan, who was abroad, had no idea one word of hers would cause such a commotion among this Ye Family couple. But in the end, both of them settled it amicably and made up with each other.

Yan was lying in bed, and she saw the message Han Qing had left her when she picked up her phone. He said he was settling some stuff downstairs and would be back in the evening, but he had ordered room service for her and asked her to give the front desk a call when she woke up.

But Yan was so eager to chat with Han Muzi that she had totally overlooked all this.

It was only after she was done chatting with her that she realized she was famished.

I guess I should eat first, since Han Qing is out doing who knows what…

When the waiter pushed the meal cart into the hotel room and removed the cover, the smell of food immediately permeated the whole room and whetted Yan’s appetite. The waiter then told her to call them if she had any more requests and excused himself.

Yan caressed her tummy and proceeded to drink some soup.

After eating for a while, Yan was slightly depressed. After what happened last night, she woke up unable to see him, and he was out probably until the evening.

What is so important?

But Yan took it very well and just forgot about it after a while. That was because she knew Han Qing all too well. It had to be something important for sure, or he wouldn’t have left her alone like that.

It was probably because she was too tired, but Yan ate the most she had ever eaten, and she only realized when she was about to finish that she hadn’t left any for Han Qing.

It’s all gone.

Yan looked at the mess on the dining table before her and rubbed her stuffed belly, feeling awkward.

She accidentally overate.

Because of that, Yan called the room service and had the waiter clean up the dishes, and she ordered another meal to be sent up when Han Qing came back later tonight.

The waiter took the order and left.

Yan thought of drawing a bath to relax herself since Han Qing hadn’t returned after a while. The hot water washed away her fatigue, but it also made her feel sleepy. As she lay in the bathtub, she slowly dozed off into dreamland.

When Han Qing was done with his things and got back to the hotel, it was already evening. Before he went up, he went by the front desk and found out that Yan had been awake and had eaten, so he had the waiter send dinner upstairs, only to find out that Yan had already ordered a meal.

He was in a brief daze but went upstairs soon after.

It was quiet in the room when he opened the door. Han Qing smacked his lips thinking, Could it be that the girl is still sleeping?

Was she too tired from last night?

But he soon found out that Yan wasn’t in the bedroom.

After some searching, he finally found his little lady in the bathroom.

But this time, he found her sprawled by the bathtub fast asleep. Her darkened eyebags showed how tired she was from the night before.

Han Qing’s heart pinched slightly as he went over to feel the temperature of the water and furrowed his eyebrows after he did.

The water had started to cool down, and this lady had been in it for who knew how long. If he didn’t come back, she probably would still be in the tub till the water turned cold.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1256

Walking over, Han Qing squatted beside her and patted her face gently.

“Yan?”

Yan was fast asleep. It took Han Qing a while before she slowly awoke and opened her weary pair of eyes to look at the person in front of her.

“Hmm??” She yawned. It seemed she was still exhausted. Looking gentle, Han Qing reached out and put his palm under her chin and softly asked, “Have you slept enough?”

Yan was initially still in a daze until she clearly saw who was right in front of her. That was when a sheepish smile appeared on her face. “You’re back?”

Her fair white face was flushed because she was soaked in the bathtub for too long. Her teary eyes looked like a ripple in a pond.

The way she looks…

Han Qing felt his throat growing taut, and his voice got deeper. “Yeah, I’m back.”

Yan smiled sheepishly and asked, “What were you up to?”

Han Qing did not say a word.

That question disrupted his breathing as he dodged the lady’s gaze. “Why don’t you get out of the bath first? The water’s no longer warm. You’ll catch a cold if you continue soaking in it.”

“Huh?” Yan looked at him, puzzled.

Han Qing couldn’t help snickering and thinking, This lady can’t possibly still be in a daze from her sleep and still unaware of the situation she’s in, can she?

So, Yan just stared at him for quite a while before she suddenly thought about something. Her facial expression then changed slightly as she looked down.

“Ah!” She suddenly realized where she was, and she shrieked as she sank even deeper into the water of the bathtub.

But before she could fully submerge herself in the water, Han Qing immediately reached out his large hands to lift her by her shoulders. He then said to her, slightly annoyed, “I already told you the water was getting cold and you’re going even deeper into it?”

“But… But…” Yan stuttered and looked at him, too nervous to speak coherently.

“Hmm?” Han Qing’s handsome face looked like he was trying hard to hold in a laugh as he slowly leaned over toward her, and with a hint of tease in his tone, he said, “You weren’t like this when you came on to me last night.”

Yan’s face blushed an even brighter red when he mentioned what happened the night before. She awkwardly bit her lip and said, “I… I was just trying to help you last night, that’s why I—”

“Oh?” Han Qing stared at her playfully. “So there wasn’t even a bit of self-interest somewhere?”

Self-interest?

“Of course, there wasn’t! I… I didn’t do it out of self-interest at all! I did all that to help you! If you weren’t in so much pain, I… I wouldn’t have…”

Her face was beet red before she could reach the end of that sentence, and she couldn’t continue any further.

She denied so completely that she totally did not acknowledge her own agenda for all this. Han Qing knew that this lady might just blow up from embarrassment if he continued to tease her. So, he gently pinched her chin with one hand and approached her lips as he sighed. “You ungrateful little lady.”

He lowered his head to kiss her after saying that.

Yan was still thinking, When was I ungrateful? Since I’ve already slept with you, I’m not going to admit that I was the one who initiated the whole thing. I will just insist that I was doing all this for your own good to save face, hmph!

Little did she know Han Qing would just suddenly kiss her. She was instantly stunned where she was, unable to respond at all.

It was until her teeth were pried open that she realized Han Qing was kissing her as a strong adult man with needs.

His hand…?

Yan let out a moan. The next second, she felt an arm around her waist as she was lifted out of the bathtub.

Just when she thought something was about to happen, Han Qing picked up the towel by the side and covered her up, leaving the scene right after.

“Put on some clothes and get ready for dinner.”

Then, Han Qing left the bathroom without looking back.

He just left Yan standing there looking silly.

A few minutes later, Yan came out fully-clothed. The moment she saw Han Qing, she immediately thought of what happened last night and couldn’t help blushing. One thing led to another, and she thought about what happened in the bathroom and blushed even more.

“If your face gets any redder, we’ll be cooking dinner on your face.”

Han Qing still had to tease her. Yan immediately felt uncomfortable and hopped to him to tell him off, “You evil man. I was doing all that yesterday to help you. Is this how you repay your benefactor? You just keep teasing me!”

She pointed her index at Han Qing, but without looking, Han Qing just grabbed onto it and pulled her into his arms. His voice deepened with a hint of hoarseness.

“How was I teasing you?” He leaned over and placed his thin lips on her ear lobe. “My Yan is so understanding that I can’t wait to love her, so why would I tease her?”

My Yan…

Crack—

At this moment, Yan’s face turned a complete beet red. She was stupefied and in disbelief.

He actually… called me ‘His Yan’?

She never thought that one night in bed with him would change the way he addressed her.

This moniker was being repeated by Han Qing countless times over; his deep voice sounded exceptionally moving at the moment.

Sob…

Yan was so touched she could cry.

Yet, she could only tug on his sleeves, biting her lower lip, her face so red she couldn’t say a word.

Because of what happened last night, their relationship immediately advanced a few levels. Yan’s face also blushed a deeper red, but at the same time, she also became more confident.

That was because she bedded the man of her dreams.

So, she no longer had any regrets in life.

But more importantly, Yan suddenly thought of something very important. She looked at Han Qing seriously, hemming and hawing before she said, “I… I don’t think… we took any precautions last night.”

After what she said, Han Qing became silent.

It was under exceptional circumstances since they didn’t have time to think about it. On top of that, they had never thought about it at all when they came out, so they hadn’t prepared anything.

Actually, Han Qing had thought about this when he woke up the next day. He initially furrowed his brow but soon after just accepted it and let go.

He never thought of splitting up with the young lady when they got together. That was why Han Qing would definitely assume responsibility if they really hit the jackpot.

However, the young lady had no idea what he was thinking at the moment and still said, “It seems like there are no pharmacies on this little island, and it’ll be too late after we leave this island.”

If there was a pharmacy, she could still go get some contraceptive pills.

But the little island had only entertainment facilities.

The young lady frowned when she thought about this. But immediately after, it seemed she had thought about something. “Oh right, the married couples that came with us just got married. I don’t think they want to have kids so soon, so they should have something prepared. Let me go ask them.”

She felt Han Qing pull her back the moment she turned to walk away.

His tone sounded annoyed.

“You’ve already said that they are married. Even if they didn’t take precautions, it wouldn’t really matter. On top of that, if they didn’t take precautions, who would bring around with them contraceptive pills?”

Han Qing silenced Yan with what he said. Her lips twitched a little as she looked at Han Qing and said, “So, what should we do? Or… should we just go back?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1257

This girl… Han Qing placed his large hands on her head and slightly squinted his eyes. “Now you know to worry?”

Yan bit her lower lip at a loss for words. When she was on her aggressive run last night, she never once thought of such a serious issue. At the time, she only thought of bedding her dream man. Who knew there were so many things to worry about after the fact. Sob, sob… If only I knew… Wait, that’s not right. Even if I knew, I would probably make the same choices the night before.

She was so into Han Qing. Only good things would come if she were to have his baby, so why was she in such a dilemma? All she was afraid of was the pressure it would bring to Han Qing. After all, he’d suffered so badly just to hold everything in. He’d even asked her if she would regret at the crucial moment. That was part of the reason why Yan didn’t want to give him any unnecessary pressure.

When she thought of this, Yan raised both hands to promise, “Let’s get out of this island now and I’ll go buy some emergency contraceptive pills so that we can be sure I won’t get pregnant. If I really end up getting pregnant, I won’t burden you with any pressure, I—ouch!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Han Qing frowned and flicked her on her forehead.

“What are you going on about again? What do you mean you won’t burden me with any pressure? You were thinking for my sake from the beginning till the end?”

Yan just looked at him in a daze. Han Qing pulled her into his embrace and gently rubbed her ears with his thumbs. He then gently said, “Don’t worry, just let nature take its course. I’m here, aren’t I?”

Yan couldn’t really figure out what he meant, but she could understand that he didn’t want her to be overly anxious about it, so she just sheepishly asked, “So… are we still leaving the island?”

“Since we’re here, we should of course play to our heart’s content before leaving, no?” He gently pinched her ear. “Or do you want to leave?”

Yan swallowed the lump in her throat and gently shook her head a few seconds later. She didn’t want to leave. She liked Han Qing, and she wanted to have his baby. So if he wished for it…

“If you don’t want to, then we shall just stay.”

“Okay…”

This matter ended then and there, but Yan already felt warmth beyond description, so much so that the food she was eating felt exceptionally delicious.

It was only two days later when they left the island that Yan realized Han Qing had left that night to settle Lin Qin’er’s matter. She was sent away from the island that day, and her actions the night before were reported to the police. It was only after she was brought to the police station that they found out it wasn’t her first time; she had been a serial offender. She flirted and seduced married men time and again just because she was unsatisfied with her husband, but not enough to divorce him. She’d hoped that one of them would be Romeo to her Juliet and save her from her marriage and her life. But to no avail. After all, who would put in effort for a married woman? Then again, what kind of man could she bag by offering up her body in return? It would most likely be a superficial man.

In the beginning, all her husband did was occasionally hit or scold her, and she dared not speak of divorce, so she went around places, seducing and flirting with all kinds of men. Once her husband found out about her actions, he started treating her as trash and abused her randomly. Any glare or word that didn’t sit right with him would be returned with a tight slap. The bruises on her were evident, and Yan had witnessed it for herself; it was definitely gruesome. But then…

Yan just sighed and said, “She actually started on the wrong foot from the beginning. She should have asked for help from the police or lawyers to deal with a violent man. She should have fought for herself using the law and not pin her hopes on these superficial men. Think about it. If a man could get entangled with a married woman, what kind of a man could he be? What more could she hope for?”

That was why they said a pitiful person most likely had it coming to them. Disaster lurked within good fortune. If she insisted on divorcing from the beginning, she had to force it even if she was threatened.

In this world, most people feared death, but if she had to suffer so much just to live, she should’ve fought to the end for that sliver of hope to be free instead of allowing herself to sink deeper and deeper to the point where she lost herself. And all this while, the man lived scot-free. But this matter just ended right there. As to what she would choose in the future, Yan had no idea. To her, Lin Qin’er was just another passerby in her life.

Even though she had done many detestable things after that, Lin Qin’er inadvertently matchmade Han Qing and her. Because of that, Yan actually… didn’t blame her at all. If it weren’t for Lin Qin’er, she and Han Qing probably wouldn’t have progressed so quickly.

On the way back home, Yan thought about Muzi saying she had something to tell her, but after holding everything in for so many days, Muzi paused and said nothing except to tell her to wait until she got back. That aroused Yan’s curiosity and totally piqued her interest in the matter. She was wondering, What could be so important that they had to wait for me to get back to talk about it?

…

At the same time in the country, Jiang Xiaobai’s phone was ringing off the hook with calls from her mother. She sprawled on her computer table and closed her eyes to pretend she was dead, as if she could tune out the sound of the phone ringing like this. Ever since she said she had a boyfriend and brought Xiao Su home, her mom had been calling her everyday to ask her how things were going between them and when they were coming to visit her at home again.

Initially, she still handled her with patience, but as the frequency increased, she started to get annoyed about it, so much so that she just pretended she was dead when she heard the phone ring. She finally understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot. She initially thought she’d just solve the problem before her and worry about the consequences later. She had thought her mom would stop for at least a month after she knew she had a boyfriend. At the very worst, she’d thought she’d have a week if not a month. But who knew… that she would bombard her with calls every single day?

Jiang Xiaobai was going insane. With her mom bombarding her, she couldn’t even complete her script, and her chapters were all in a mess. The readers were criticizing her in all forms and manners in the comments and asking her what was going on with her. Some even sent her monetary donations and commented personally what was wrong with her or how she felt. They were also gifting her stuff, hoping she would cheer up and lift her spirits soon. Jiang Xiaobai was being driven mad. Who would’ve thought that she would be driven to insanity by her dearest mother? Argh!!

At this moment, Fang Tangtang emerged from the kitchen with a slice of bread between her lips, teasing her, “Xiaobai, death has come for you. Hurry up and answer the call.”

Jiang Xiaobai kept silent.

Brimming with laughter, Fang Tangtang sat beside her and patted her shoulders like a mother. “Running away from your problems won’t solve anything.”

“Whoever wants to can just go answer it because I’m not going to. I just want to have some peace and quiet. Fang Tangtang, do you think my mom will stop forcing me if I stop thinking about everything and convert into a nun?”

“Huh?” Fang Tangtang was in shock. “Convert into a nun? You’re joking, right? You can’t even void yourself of your desires and sins, so how are you going to be a nun? Would you be willing to give up your needy readers and all the delicious food and scenery in this world? What about the money you have made…”

“Sigh.” Jiang Xiaobai’s head dropped smack on the table as she gritted her teeth. “If that’s the case, I think I can hold on a little longer.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1258

“Yeah, what’s so nice about becoming a nun? Although there are many displeasures and disputes in the real world, there is an abundance of beauty as well. Plus… all you are lacking in your life is just a man. If you can find yourself a man, you have nothing more to worry about.”

“Easier said than done.” Jiang Xiaobai rolled her eyes helplessly. “You really do think good men just fall from trees, don’t you? I bet you also think that all women are like the leading ladies in novels that are just waiting for the one to appear before their very eyes?”

Fang Tangtang grabbed her by the shoulder and while eating, said in a motherly manner, “Think about it; you are also the leading lady in your own world, aren’t you? On top of that, there will naturally be a person that’s destined for you. He could just be late, but he will never not arrive. I think you shouldn’t be so against matchmaking. Who knows? Maybe you’ll meet the one you really love through your matchmaking sessions.”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled. “You make it sound so perfect. Since when were you on the same side as my mom? You know I don’t like matchmaking, but you keep pushing me to go.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to be match-made, just do what we did before then.”

What we did before? Take Xiao Su to meet my mother? Jiang Xiaobai shook her head. She definitely didn’t want to do that again.

“I have come up with so many ideas and you have rejected them all, then what is it that you actually want? In my opinion, if he can pretend to be your boyfriend once, he can pretend to be your boyfriend twice. That man from the other day was so good-looking, so maybe if you keep the charade going, you two would end up actually being together?”

Jiang Xiaobai said hastily, “Get out!” How could that be? How could she love a man that was pining for another woman? She was not so cheap! If she had to love someone, it would have to be someone who’d empty his heart out for her and her alone. She would only be torturing herself if she didn’t do that.

On top of that, she could tell that Xiao Su tried to keep his distance from her. She didn’t even need to think why he would act like that; he acted that way because he already had someone he loved and he didn’t want to have anything to do with her. He already made his intentions clear as a man, so how could she shamelessly throw herself upon him? She couldn’t possibly hold the favor over his head for this, could she? He already repaid the favor in full the last time anyway. Conversely, it was her that kissed him of her own volition and on top of that, acted as though she had been taken advantage of by him.

Sigh. It was heartbreaking to see the kind of pitiful state she was in. “Poor Xiaobai, being forced into a pile of mess. Since you have been through such heartbreak, I shall be the kind person that you need. I’ll take you to a bar for a night of fun and treat you to all the alcohol you can drink. I’m treating you.”

After she said that, Jiang Xiaobai just glared at her. “Oh, so the man of your dreams is going to start a concert again?”

Fang Tangtang took in her glare guiltily. “How… How did you know…”

“Your thoughts are written all over your face, yet you ask me how did I know about what you’re thinking?”

“Erhem…” Fang Tangtang coughed awkwardly and said, “Aw come on, it’s so rare that we get the chance to be reckless in life, so why don’t you just assume I especially want to treat you to some alcohol tonight? Who knows? Maybe you will meet your true love at the bar tonight?”

“Pfft, meeting my true love in a place like a bar? Did you get your head caught in a door or did a donkey just kick your head? Meeting my true love in a place like that? Do you mean finding a one night stand?”

Fang Tangtang said angrily, “Jiang Xiaobai, you better watch your mouth! There are nice people in the bar too! The man of my dreams is a good man! Also, he wouldn’t go out looking for a one night stand!”

“Oh?” Jiang Xiaobai raised her eyebrows. “How do you know? Do you have someone monitoring him 24 hours a day or what?”

The moment Fang Tangtang heard Jiang Xiaobai say that, she was instantly ridden with guilt. Jiang Xiaobai squinted. “You wouldn’t… My goodness, you’re really insane. If he knew, he’d just think you were a crazy person. If it comes to that, you would lose any chance that you may have had at all.”

“I… I wouldn’t do anything anyway. I just wanted someone to look out for his safety. He no longer had a manager and a team. What if a female fan harasses him? That is why I have to get someone to protect him! You wouldn’t understand!”

Jiang Xiaobai said, “Hehehe, what an ostentatious reason.”

She had no words to describe Fang Tangtang’s actions. She didn’t really agree with her methods in the first place. Pursuing celebrities, admiring a person and even treating someone like that as a pillar of support is no problem, but he wasn’t a major celebrity and was still an undiscovered, dejected talent. Jiang Xiaobai was fine with Fang Tangtang attending and supporting a few of his gigs, but it was later on that she realized this girl was way in over her head. When she thought of saving her from the abyss, it was already all too late.

“To be honest, I think what you are doing is rather perverted. He is living his own life, so if he was harassed, he would have his own way of dealing with it. He’s a man, and even if the two of you were to end up together in the end, he should be the one protecting you and not the other way round. You really shouldn’t waste your time doing this. On top of that, do you think that being stalked by someone is a pleasant thing to experience?”

After hearing what Jiang Xiaobai had to say, Fang Tangtang started to realize that she might be at fault here. “Then… Then I’ll tell the person to stop following him when I get back. You were right; I also feel that I am perverted, but I just… couldn’t bear the thought.”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed in her heart. Actually, these musicians that ended up becoming hot celebrities were never the people around them. She didn’t mean that in offense to them as musicians, but she meant that if two people’s interests were too far apart, they’d just end up going their separate ways.

No matter what she said and how much she disapproved, Jiang Xiaobai still went along with Fang Tangtang to accompany her to the bar. She just drank her beverage in boredom while she watched Fang Tangtang scream and shout for the man of her dreams. Jiang Xiaobai was thinking that this seemed good for her too. In the end, to Fang Tangtang, he was her target, a target that made her continue to work hard toward so much so that it filled her with energy. There didn’t seem to be anything bad about it. At least Fang Tangtang lived life in a purer and simpler way than her—she was just doing what she wanted to do, unlike her…

Jiang Xiaobai then took another sip of her drink, and a man suddenly leaned by her side. “Pretty lady, what’s the fun in drinking beverages all night? You should drink some alcohol now that you’re in a bar. How about I buy you a drink?”

After he was finished, Jiang Xiaobai just glanced at the man. His casual attire, mannerism and how he looked at her like she was food, instantly betrayed his intention. Jiang Xiaobai bit her lip and said, “No thanks. I’m fine just drinking this.”

However, the man wouldn’t give up and paced around her. “You haven’t drank before, have you? Let me treat you to a glass. It tastes great; don’t you want to give it a try?”

Hah. Jiang Xiaobai suddenly laid eyes on a man with a tall and strong stature not too far from her. She beckoned the man beside him to her by curling her index finger, and the man, thinking that she had taken the bait, rushed over almost instantly.

“See that man over there? He’s my boyfriend. If you want to treat me to a drink, why don’t you ask him if he agrees to it?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1259

The man thought she took the bait and he wouldn’t be sleeping alone tonight.

Who knew that when he leaned over, he had to hear her say the words that would stop him dead in his tracks.

He only reacted after a short pause. “Your boyfriend? You’re kidding me right? Why are you not sitting with him if he is your boyfriend?”

“This is our thing. We like to roleplay when we arrive at the bar. We are quite far apart now, but if you dare make a move on me, he will come over immediately.” Then, Jiang Xiaobai raised the edge of one side of her lips and smiled at the man smugly and confidently. “You can try your luck if you don’t believe me.”

The man was at a loss for words.

He suddenly looked toward where Yan pointed and looked back at Jiang Xiaobai. Suddenly, his lip cracked open as walked toward the man she pointed at.

She let out a breath of relief when Jiang Xiaobai saw him walk away, thinking he had given up, but when she took a second glance at where he was headed, her expression instantly changed completely.

What is this man trying to do? Is he trying to expose me right here? D*mn! She initially just wanted to trick him into leaving, but she never thought he would actually try something like this.

It was so irritating.

Xiao Su just came over to the bar for a few drinks after a busy day at work. The moment he was drinking his first glass, some overly-friendly guy just rested his hands on Xiao Su’s shoulder and said to him menacingly, “Bro, are you here alone?”

The man reeked of alcohol and the fragrance of women’s perfume. The mixture of the smells caused Xiao Su to frown and turn around, then he snapped in an icy cold tone, “Let go of me.”

The man initially thought of chatting him up, but he didn’t expect Xiao Su to look so unfriendly when he turned his head over. The scar on his face looked menacing under the flashy lights of the bar, freezing him with fear.

However, almost instantly, he responded and casually said, “Bro, it isn’t right for you to take your girlfriend to a bar and ignore her. This isn’t the way to be a boyfriend to her.”

Xiao Su kept quiet and stared at him as though he was retarded and continued drinking; he had no intentions to respond to him at all.

The man also read his gaze and understood what it meant. He’s looking at me as if he’s looking at a retard. He was slightly pissed off since he felt he was being fooled. Then, he laughed dryly as he pointed to the girl at the other end. “Isn’t that lady your girlfriend? She was just telling me you are her boyfriend.”

Xiao Su said coldly, “Are you done?”

The man then replied, “Bro, enjoy your drink. I shan’t bother you any longer.”

The man went and returned. Jiang Xiaobai guessed as much. She initially just wanted to find a reason to chase the man away, but who’d have thought he’d actually go right up to ask him. This man was just unbelievable.

Even then, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t panic, because she had more ideas in the pipeline. In fact, she already thought of another story, so when the man returned, she angrily looked at the man and asked, “Let me ask you; did he tell you he isn’t my boyfriend?”

The man thought that Jiang Xiaobai would panic now that her lie had been exposed, but never did he think she would actually be mad. It was puzzling to him, but since he had nothing better to do, he just played along with her.

“Pretty miss, lying isn’t a good habit. I was just trying to buy you a drink, you didn’t have to—”

“Help me go back and ask him if he really wants to break up with me since he said he’s not my boyfriend!” Jiang Xiaobai placed both her hands on either side of her hips. Her pretty, fair face was slightly pale from the anger as she shot him an angry glare.

The man was convinced by her words and paused in a daze for a bit before asking, “What… What do you actually mean?”

“Don’t you understand? Help me ask him if he really wants to break up with me. If he really meant it, I will stop seeing him!”

The man said, “Err…”

“Hurry up. Don’t you like asking questions? Go on.”

The man couldn’t help but roll his eyes in his mind and think, Who do you think I am? Why should I go just because you asked me to?

However, he still felt like she was just putting on an act, so he just stared at her.

“I say, little lady, I just wanted to buy you a drink. Did you have to put on such an act for me? If a lady like you can come to a bar, then why can’t you just accept a simple offer such as a drink?”

These words angered Jiang Xiaobai and made her spurn the man before her.

What do you mean by why can’t I accept a drink just because a lady like me comes to a bar? She then scoffed and said, “What do you mean by that? Bars are no longer what they were before. I just plainly came here for drinks, so what does that have to do with you at all?”

“Come on.” The man continued to act casually. “Who doesn’t know what kind of place a bar is? Do you see those body collectors by the door? At this day and age, you’re telling me you come to the bar plainly just for drinks? Fine, then I’ll be just plainly treating you to a drink, so would you accept my offer?”

Jiang Xiaobai just mocked him with an insincere laugh, not wanting to respond to him.

The man just wouldn’t give up.

Actually, he wasn’t like this normally. Normally, he would just switch targets when his target declined his offer, but he just loved a challenge, especially girls that played hard to get like that. Those girls that usually act pure and demure didn’t really catch his attention, because he felt that those girls were just too fake.

However, the lady, Jiang Xiaobai before his eyes looked pure, yet the aura that was emanating from her suggested that she wasn’t putting on an act of innocence. She was so sincere from her voice to her actions.

Although she looked sweet on the surface, inside her was a straightforward girl that pretty much feared nothing and was independent.

This kind of girl was hot and enticing enough for men like him, which was why he would not avert his gaze nor step away.

He wouldn’t give up and picked up his glass of alcohol before he walked closer to Jiang Xiaobai.

“Little lady, I just sincerely wanted to buy you a drink, just one drink, so what do you say? On the account of all my asking, just drink this glass of alcohol and I will leave.”

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless.

Is this guy retarded??

Saying something like this just exposed his agenda wide open. What did he mean by taking his drink on account of his insistence?

She was only afraid that she wouldn’t be able to leave after she had taken his drink.

If it were really just for the sake of one glass of alcohol, why would he linger around for such a long time?

Although she seldom went to bars, she wasn’t someone who didn’t understand the way of the world and the threats of society. How could she not have seen through the thoughts and intentions of the man before her? How could she be so silly to believe him and drink his glass of alcohol?

She ignored him and just continued drinking her own alcohol while saying, “It’s fine if you don’t want to leave. You can just stay here till my boyfriend gets back. Although we argued, both our families are connected together in more ways than one. If he were to see me getting bullied, he wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.”

“Boyfriend?” The man’s tongue brushed across his teeth as he stared at where Xiao Su was sitting, then he smiled mysteriously. “You are really making a habit out of this lying thing, little lady. Well then, let me help you test your boyfriend’s loyalty and protectiveness of you then.”

Immediately after that, the man didn’t hold back and directly grabbed Jiang Xiaobai by the shoulder and laughed sinisterly. “How’s this? As a man, he probably wouldn’t be able to stand it if he saw his woman in another man’s arms, right?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1260

“Little lady, how about we make a bet?”

After the man rested his hands on her, Jiang Xiaobai was like an angered cat as she struggled to get free of him, but the man’s hand felt like a huge mountain sitting on her shoulders firmly.

It was at this moment that Jiang Xiaobai understood the magnitude of the disparity between a man and a woman’s strength!

“I’ll count to three, and you better let go of me.”

Although Jiang Xiaobai seldom went out, she wasn’t the kind to be afraid of things happening. If this guy were to try anything on her, she would fight tooth and nail instead of letting herself get taken advantage of.

The hint of hate that flashed across her face stunned the man for a moment, but he recovered almost immediately.

She was just a woman, what could she do to him even if she got angry? She would at most give him a few slaps that hardly hurt him, so the man just ignored her emotions and laughed more menacingly instead.

“Don’t be angry, little lady. Didn’t you say that he is your boyfriend? You got into a fight with your boyfriend and he is ignoring me, so I’m hugging you to help you here. When he sees you with another man, he will lose it and rush over to take you over. By the looks of it, I will have done a great deed.”

Jiang Xiaobai scoffed. “F*ck your great dead, I’m about to start counting. One!”

The man was still laughing without showing any intention of letting her go.

“Two!”

The man instead raised his head and looked at her disdainfully, as if to say, ‘What are you going to do about it?’

“Three.”

Splash!

Jiang Xiaobai picked up the glass of juice in front of her without a second thought and splashed it onto the man’s face.

The man was caught completely by surprise and stood there in a daze for quite a while before he recovered. The man then went into a rage and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai by the neck.

“How dare you splash me?”

Jiang Xiaobai said nothing but pursed her lips and stared at him mockingly.

“Are you touched in the head? I’m already done splashing you, and you still asked if I dared to splash you? Do you want me to do it again?”

“You!” The man was furious, but Jiang Xiaobai did all these menacingly. Her pretty face exuded an aura and an elegance that didn’t fit in with the messed up surroundings, as if she was born with it. It was as if it was meant for this woman in front of him to live without restraint as such, while the man should just kneel before her.

Lust and infatuation flashed across the man’s eyes as he held on to Jiang Xiaobai even tighter. “It’s okay. I’m not mad. You can splash me all you like, no matter how many times you want to do it. You can splash me to your heart’s content. When you’re done having your fun, can you give me your WeChat? Let’s be friends!”

He was pretty excited when he said this, because he felt like he had been hopping from these kinds of places one after the other before finally finding his one true love in this one on this day.

Jiang Xiaobai was totally speechless. She thought, This guy is definitely retarded, isn’t he?

She was struggling as hard as she could, but the man’s hands held on tightly to her without any signs of letting up. Jiang Xiaobai then stepped on the man’s foot hard and just drilled it in as much as she could. The man’s face was pale with pain, but he still gritted his teeth and held on through the pain.

“It’s okay. You can do anything you want. I will pamper you.”

Words could no longer describe her expression when she looked at him. She initially thought he just looked like a retard, but right now, she felt that he really was a retard.

“After you’re done splashing and everything, why don’t you drink this drink that I bought for you?” The man was smiling happily as he brought the glass before her once again.

Jiang Xiaobai scoffed at him and took it from the man to pour it over his head.

Splash!

The alcoholic beverage flowed down from the man’s head mercilessly, but Jiang Xiaobai still wasn’t satisfied. She held onto the glass and smashed it on his head with all her might, which caused the man to frown in pain.

“Didn’t you say I can do anything I want? Now I want to see how much you can tolerate.”

After she said that, Jiang Xiaobai smashed the glass and picked up a shard. She then put the shard close to the man’s temple; her smile was dangerous but exceptionally beautiful.

The man was infatuated by the way she looked, but his survival instincts kicked in when he saw the glimmering glass shard in her hand. He laughed dryly and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist. “Little lady, I just wanted to buy you a drink, but do you have to go so far? Do we really have to draw blood? This could escalate beyond control, so are you sure you want to go there?”

Jiang Xiaobai’s hand was held in place by the man and couldn’t advance any further, but the expression on her face looked as dangerous as before. “What’s wrong? Didn’t this weird man just say he could let me splash all I want and he would pamper me? Right now I just want to draw a little blood and you’re scared already? Are your words as worthless as farts in the wind?”

Upon seeing her acting this way, the man felt that he had to man up a little or he wouldn’t be able to control this woman at all.

Thus, he no longer let her do as she pleased and firmly grabbed her hands, then he placed them behind her back. “That’s enough little lady. I said I’d let you do whatever you want to your heart’s content, but I never said you are allowed to injure me. But since you want to have some fun, why don’t we switch venues? I can definitely play with you to your heart’s content.”

The man then forcefully dragged Jiang Xiaobai by her hands toward the outside of the bar.

Jiang Xiaobai showed a moment of weakness by shooting a glance at the barkeeper to ask for help, but the barkeeper was busy serving other customers, so he didn’t notice her at all.

Plus, these kinds of things always happen in bars, so they wouldn’t think too much of it.

Jiang Xiaobai knew that if she didn’t think of something quickly, she would really be taken away by this man. Although she was vicious, that didn’t mean that her strength matched her intentions. A man’s strength wasn’t something she could compete against.

When she thought of this, Jiang Xiaobai said grimly, “Believe me when I say that if you dare take me out this door tonight, I’ll make sure you’ll make the headlines tomorrow.”

The man just shrugged it off nonchalantly. “Oh, pray tell. How do you plan on letting me make the headlines tomorrow?”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at him with a stern face and said, “Murder.”

The man heard her and his expression changed slightly. “Hm?”

“When you wake up, you will find out that there’s a dead body lying on top of you and the media will definitely put you on the headlines. The police will send you to prison and you won’t have to worry about appearing in these kinds of places for the next half of your life, since you’ll be spending them in a dark prison cell. By then, you won’t even get to drink alcohol, let alone meet girls like myself. Of course, your greatest loss will be your freedom.”

By this point, Jiang Xiaobai had noticed that the man’s face was already deathly pale.

She raised the edge of her lips in satisfaction. “I don’t have a good temper and I got it from my mom. If I die, she will definitely go into a rage. You should have a family too, right? By then, she will probably take out all her anger on your family.”

The man was rendered speechless. He just occasionally came to these places, and he had never expected to put his life on the line here. He just thought he’d have some fun and when he was done having his share of fun, he’d settle down and have a few kids. That was why these words from Jiang Xiaobai really impacted him.
