Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1361
She was obviously the most aggrieved party in this relationship. Without prior knowledge, she had suddenly turned into the third party! Yet now, he was pretending to feel wronged in front of her. Yan was so angry that she ground her teeth and said bluntly, “Stop looking so aggrieved in front of me. I’m the aggrieved one, not you! Also, I didn’t ask you to follow me here. If you feel so wronged, then just leave.”
“I’m not aggrieved at all.” Han Qing sighed heavily again. “I chose to follow you here. There’s no such thing as me feeling aggrieved. You’re the one who should be feeling more wronged compared to me. Can you drink the water now?”
“I’m not drinking,” Yan replied. She turned her head to face the other side.
Han Qing did not place the glass in front of her again. Yan thought to herself that he had probably given up, so she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, Yan felt her chin getting pinched by Han Qing’s hand. With a dark gaze, he pressed his lips against her soft lips. “Mhm—”
It was unclear when Han Qing had put down all the things in his hands. At this moment, he was squeezing her chin with one hand while the other was clasping the back of her head as he kissed her. He gave her the warm water that was in his mouth. When his tongue slipped in, Yan’s ears turned red with shame. She was desperately pushing his chest with her hands. This b*stard… Why did he suddenly become so… passionate? He actually thought of this method to get me to drink water?
Although she liked him, she found his way of feeding her water too disgusting! Yan gritted her teeth, preventing him from feeding her the water no matter what. As such, she did not drink the water. However, she was still caught by Han Qing and was kissed by him for such a long time. Although the two were not together for long, they had made out many times before. Furthermore, Han Qing would take the initiative and take charge almost every time. As a result, Yan had no power to resist. After getting kissed until her body was left feeling like jelly, she collapsed into his arms.
After the kiss, Han Qing wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with his fingertips and asked softly, “Are you willing to drink now? Do you still want me to continue feeding you?”
“You!” Yan’s face was flushed as she stared at Han Qing angrily.
Han Qing leaned in a little closer and kissed her fair forehead. “Hmm?”
Yan felt that his breathing was slightly hotter and faster than before. She could feel his heartbeat when he was leaning in his embrace, and it was completely different from before. If she did not drink the water, she was worried that he would want to kiss her again. They were on a train! It was too embarrassing. As such, Yan reluctantly said, “I’ll drink it.” She was then forced to drink water and eat breakfast.
At first, she wanted to give forced reactions, but Han Qing was staring at her with such a deep gaze. She had a feeling that if she did not eat well, the man would jump over and kiss her again. Ultimately, Yan ate wholeheartedly. When she was done with her breakfast, she was too full to sit still.
The most important thing to note was that Han Qing had accompanied her to eat whatever she ate and was not disgusted by the food. Seeing this side of Han Qing, Yan suddenly asked, “Does she know that you’re following me?”
“Hmm?” Han Qing raised his head as if he did not understand her.
Faced with such a look, Yan fiercely cursed herself in her heart. Why did I ask such a question? Am I looking to insult myself?
When Han Qing did not understand what she was talking about, Yan became angry again. “It’s nothing. Just pretend as if I didn’t say anything.” Then, she pulled the blanket and lay down.
Han Qing, who was unaware of everything, was speechless. Looking at Yan for a moment, he then stretched out his hand to lift the blanket. “You can’t lie down after eating. Sit up.”
“I want to lie down. You don’t have to bother with it.” Yan swatted his hand away.
Since saying that she wanted to break up with him, she had been merciless. She would be fierce, scold him whenever she wanted to, and even hit him if she felt the urge to. Han Qing did not dislike having this kind of interaction with her. In fact, it made him happier. His young lady should be as willful as she wanted; he was still willing to spoil her. He would much rather her be like that instead of having her carefully trying to please him every time. He had wanted to change this character of hers countless times before. However, he had never successfully done it. Unexpectedly, this time around… Perhaps this was an opportunity to change the way they got along. In short, he would never let go of the people he already had his hands on in this lifetime.
“It’s not that I want to control you. It’s just that it’s not good for the stomach.”
“That’s my own problem,” Yan said fiercely. “It’s my stomach, so I’ll decide for myself. It has nothing to do with you.”
Han Qing leaned down. “We haven’t broken up yet, so half of your stomach belongs to me.”
“You!” As soon as he approached her, Yan’s face turned red again as she finally cursed out, “Shameless!” Then, she sat up; infuriated by Han Qing. He was forcing her to do all kinds of things. Who does he think he is?! When she got off the train later, she would dump him and find a place to hide so that she would never have to see him again.
At this moment, Han Qing seemed to be able to hear the voice in her heart. He grabbed her fingers and asked, “Are you cursing me in your heart?”
Deep down, Yan was stunned. How does he know? Can he hear the voice in my heart?
“If you don’t want others to know what you’re trying to do, you must learn to control your expression and eyes. These are enough to reveal everything.”
“Hmph.” Yan turned her head as she could not be bothered to entertain him.
Han Qing lowered his gaze as his expression turned grim. He had not forgotten the words Yan said just now. Does she know that you’re following me? Who was this ‘she’? He did not give a reaction at the time, but thinking back about it now, he felt that there was something wrong with this sentence. Whose approval did he need to go out? Except for the people related to him, he could only think of his sister, Han Muzi. However, did he need to tell his sister if he came out? Then, who else could it be? After she calmed down, he needed to ask her this.
Sitting in a vehicle was the most boring thing as there were a lot of things that could not be done. Yan felt really uncomfortable after sitting for so long, so she lay down once more. Han Qing did not stop her this time and covered her with a blanket while saying softly, “Sleep.”
Since they were in the train, Yan knew that he would keep on staying by her side. As such, she did not say anything and let him mind his own business. Soon, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Then, Yan started having nightmares once more. In her dream, she had gone to the company. She was scolded and backstabbed by many.
“Shameless woman, are you happy to be a mistress?”
“I hate homewreckers like you the most; there’s nothing people like you can’t do. You only want to destroy other people’s relationship and marriage. Is it because no men love you? Or is it because you’re so lacking in love that you can’t stand it anymore?”
“That’s right. Do you have to be so hungry and thirsty that you want to snatch away another woman’s husband? You’re such a lowlife!”
Yan was shaking her head, saying, “No, I didn’t steal anyone’s husband; I really didn’t… I didn’t know… I’m not; I’m not!”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1363
She did not know anything and suddenly became a third party in the relationship. Now that she wanted to break up with him and end this bad fate, he became so clingy. She was left with no options. Why had she never noticed before that Han Qing had this side to him? In Yan’s opinion, he was someone who would just frown when he was upset and continue to do his job and ignore her when she proposed the breakup to him.
She could not go anywhere as even the door was under Han Qing’s control. Even if she went out, she did not have the money to book another room. As such, Yan simply sat by the bed and was so angry that she did not want to talk at all. Han Qing persuaded her to take a shower, but she merely sat still. Even when he asked her to sleep, she was still unmoving.
“Then I’ll go take a shower. Don’t simply run off.”
Bang! After Han Qing entered the bathroom, splashes of water could be heard.
Listening to the noises, Yan suddenly realized something. Since he had entered the bathroom, she could secretly search for her ID and wallet and sneak away. With this thought in mind, Yan immediately got up from the bed and began to search through Han Qing’s things. She was being surreptitious, and even her heartbeat had sped up. While looking for her things, she prayed in her heart for Han Qing to not come out at this time. I hope he can shower for a little longer; just a little longer.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Yan still did not find her things. She was so angry that she cursed like a deflating ball.
“B*stard, where did you hide all my things? Why can’t I find them?
“Are you looking for this?” Han Qing’s voice suddenly sounded from behind her, shocking her. When did he come out of the bathroom?
Yan turned around. Han Qing only had a towel wrapped around him after showering, and his dark hair was still dripping with small water droplets that fell onto his wheat-colored skin. They then slid down his chest, past his abdominal muscles, and finally…
Yan found herself almost drooling. No, I can’t keep looking! She was so angry, so how could she be seduced by his beauty at this time? She needed to look for her ID!
Later, Yan spotted her ID and purse in his hands. Han Qing twitched his lips while looking at her. “You want to escape so badly, so do you think I’ll put your things where you can find them?”
Yan asked, “So that’s why you took all the stuff into the bathroom?”
He did not answer but it was obvious that he was admitting to it; Yan suddenly became speechless.
“Shameless!” she cursed him while approaching him to snatch her purse back. Han Qing immediately raised his hand high and Yan tip-toed to reach for it, “You better return it to me. That’s my stuff; you have no rights over my freedom.”
Upon seeing her scrunched up face from being angry, Han Qing could not bear to see it and immediately pulled her into his arms. His body temperature was high as he just took a shower and there were still droplets on him. Yan could feel her clothes getting wet from the water droplets when she was pulled over.
“Shameless?” Han Qing twitched his lips again while his eyes showed a glance of mockery, “I don’t mind being shameless or whatnot; as long as you’re here, everything is fine.” He only had a thought in his mind, and that was to make sure Yan would never leave no matter what. He had an ominous feeling about what would happen if he really let her run away from him. All in all, he wanted her to stick around close to him.
“If you’re not having a shower, then you better rest soon.”
She purposely did not follow his advice and gritted her teeth while replying, “I don’t need to rest, I’ve slept long enough on the train. I don’t feel sleepy at all now.”
She purposely did not sleep because he wanted her to. Even if he wanted her to take a shower, she would not do it. She would not make things easy for him since he did the same to her before.
“You’re neither taking a shower, nor sleeping? Then, what do you want to do?”
“It’s none of your business; I’m not taking a shower or sleeping no matter what!” Yan replied furiously while sitting there disobediently.
Han Qing stared at her deeply, and suddenly said, “If you’re not going to take a shower or sleep, then why don’t we do something else?”
Something else? Yan turned her head and asked, “What are you planning to do again this time? Ah—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Han Qing pinned her down on the bed and used his body to press against hers. The sudden action immediately stunned Yan and her hands subconsciously pushed against his body. “What are you doing?”
“I thought you didn’t want to sleep? Then let’s do something else,” Han Qing replied while he reached over to unbutton her clothes. Yan froze, probably because she never knew this side of Han Qing. She only came back to her senses after Han Qing undid two of her buttons. She frantically pressed against Han Qing’s hands. “Don’t try anything funny!”
A part of her fair skin was exposed when the buttons were undone. After Han Qing took a glance at it, his eyes met hers and his voice became hoarse. “This isn’t trying anything funny,” he murmured softly while slowly approaching her, leaving a kiss on the corner of her lips. Yan was breathing heavily as she was trying to say something, but Han Qing took advantage of the little pause and blocked her breathing. “Mhm…” Yan made muffled noises while pushing Han Qing away harder.
Han Qing swallowed all the noises she made while using his big hand to pin her restless hands, raising them to the back of her head while continuing to kiss her.
“Han… Mhm…” Yan was trying to speak, but Han Qing’s kisses were like tsunamis as they kept coming—not giving her a chance to breathe. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to take a shower. Could she not go anymore?
It was uncertain how much time had passed before Han Qing suddenly moved back while pressing her head, saying hoarsely, “This is called growing our feelings for each other; do you understand, little dummy?”
Yan’s body weakened after the kisses and she was lying there with her face blushing while her eyes were teary as if she had just gotten bullied. Han Qing seemed to not be able to control himself. However, under such circumstances, he pinched Yan’s fair and soft cheek. “Tell me; are you going to take a shower or go to sleep?”
After hearing him ask, Yan subconsciously answered, “Shower. I’ll go and take a shower now; is that alright?” She was deeply aggrieved with Han Qing bullying her like this. The same thing happened on the train. He would kiss her whenever she disobeyed him to make her submit to him.
“That’s a good girl.” Han Qing kissed her on the forehead and carried her in his arms while approaching the bathroom. After that, he went to get a set of clothes for Yan while telling her not to shower for too long and reminded her to switch on the fan. He then exited the bathroom. He had not forgotten to close the door after he left.
Yan was stunned as she stood grounded. She took off her clothes and turned on the showerhead. As she was showering, she glanced at the rack. Han Qing got her a set of clothes that was placed there. The set of clothes also included her personal garments. Personal garments…
Yan’s face immediately blushed after thinking about it. She felt that Han Qing had changed a lot and was different from who he was before. Was it because… she was going to leave him?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1364
Han Qing became like this because I want to leave him? However, Yan immediately recalled that this news did not mean much as it would not change the fact that he was engaged. She closed her eyes and let the water splash on her face and ears as if she was separated from this world. When she was done with her shower and was about to exit the bathroom, she saw a few dark-colored hickeys on her neck in the mirror. They were left by Han Qing from before.
Yan gritted her teeth in anger upon thinking about what he did to her just now. She was not sure if this b*stard would treat her like this again once she got out from the bathroom. Since she had broken up with him, what would it look like if they were still hugging and kissing each other? She could not even accept it herself. Therefore, Yan decided to just stay inside the bathroom. After a moment, someone knocked on the bathroom door.
“Yan.” Han Qing’s voice came from outside. “Come out when you’re done. I’ll help you dry your hair.”
Help me dry my hair? Yan waved her hand in disdain while thinking, Forget about it. He should use his precious hands to sign the wedding agreement with his fiancée instead.
Yan did not agree to it, so Han Qing called her out again. She then answered unwillingly, “I’m not done yet. You’ll have to wait a little longer.” She continued to stay in the bathroom longer while looking at the marks on her neck and worrying about what to do if she was going to head out later. There was nothing else in the bathroom that she could use and her clothes did not have a high collar.
The bathroom door was suddenly unlocked when Yan was in the middle of her thoughts. She jumped in shock as she did not expect Han Qing to enter the bathroom directly after unlocking the door. After the shock, Yan immediately shouted at him, “Who permitted you to enter? Do you know that this is a bathroom? What if I was showering and you came in without my permission? What if you saw me—”
“So what if I saw it?” Han Qing took a step forward and grabbed her hand tightly. “I’ve already seen everything I need to, so why would you mind now?”
“You!” Yan was extremely furious and wanted to shake off his hand.
“Since you’re done showering, then let’s go out and dry your hair. Otherwise, you’ll catch a cold later.”
Yan initially wanted to disobey Han Qing, but after thinking about him being domineering just now, she swallowed her words and followed behind him unwillingly as they exited the bathroom. After that, Han Qing dried her hair with a towel first before using a hairdryer. The sound from the hairdryer sounded by the sides of her ears while the air around was warm. When her wet hair was almost dried, Yan suddenly felt a little sleepy. After Han Qing was done drying her hair, she immediately fell asleep while lying on her pillow.
After keeping the hairdryer, Han Qing turned around and saw her asleep while breathing steadily. She was lying there looking tired, and Han Qing remembered she had slept for quite long in the train for the past two days. How could she be sleepy again once they arrived at the hotel? However, he did not think too much about it and covered her with a blanket while quietly looking at her as he sat there.
A moment later, he took out her phone and checked her call logs and messages. However, they were all empty. This brat is so cruel as to change her SIM card secretly. There’s nothing left on her phone. It seemed that she was determined to break this relationship off with him, but Han Qing would not accept it no matter what. He had never loved someone else in his life apart from this young lady. Everything between them could be resolved. If someone had to compromise, he was willing to be the one.
Upon thinking about this, Han Qing’s eyes became softer as he gently touched her forehead while gently tugging away the hair beside it. “Sleep well.”
The next day, Yan felt like she had slept for very long. She touched something as soon as she turned around. It was warm and felt like an arm. She gradually opened her eyes and saw Han Qing’s handsome face in front of her.
His eyes were still closed while he looked cold and expressionless as he slept. His lips were pursed and two of the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned. He looked rather seductive to her. How beautiful and touching. These were the words that appeared in Yan’s mind. She subconsciously gulped and immediately came back to her senses. How could I be distracted by his beauty at this time?! No way! This was the perfect time for her to plan her great escape. She could not just stay here any longer while Han Qing was still asleep.
“Han Qing! Han Qing!” Yan was calling his name while waving her hand in front of him. Even so, the other party did not give any reaction while Yan made bigger actions.
However, Han Qing was still not yet awake. Yan curled her lips. She immediately took the opportunity to find her ID and purse while he was still asleep. This time, she would not let him find her easily when she left. Thinking about it, she carefully removed the blanket as she got out of bed and walked barefooted, moving quietly to the other side.
Han Qing had left the stuff on the chest drawer beside the bed before he slept. Yan walked over to his side and saw his wallet and phone on it, but she did not see hers. She was a little surprised as she looked at Han Qing, who was sleeping soundly. Could it be that he hid my purse and phone before he slept? Where could he possibly have hidden them?
Yan could only search around the chest drawer beside, but she would make noises as she was searching. So, she opened the drawer as lightly as she could. She would keep checking on Han Qing as she pulled open the drawer. She would only lower her head to search peacefully when she was sure that Han Qing had not made any actions. After searching through the first and second drawer, she still could not find her purse.
Yan was determined and started to look for them at the places she had already searched before last night. She even went into the bathroom but did not manage to find anything. She almost went crazy after searching everywhere for it. B*stard, where did he hide my purse and ID?
She had searched around the whole room, and Han Qing was still not awake. He was sleeping soundly, so Yan felt that she could not miss this opportunity. As such, she went to look around another time, and in the end, her eyes were locked on Han Qing. She suspected that the man had probably hidden her purse under his pillow or blanket before he slept. Thinking of this, Yan crawled onto the bed and went under the blanket while using Han Qing’s phone’s flashlight to search through the area. At last, she could not find her purse but was attracted by his abs.
Yan stayed there while drooling. It was only after a moment before she came back to her senses! No! Just when she was about to retract her hand, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force. Yan was shocked. When she tried to retract her hand again, the other party’s grip became tighter. “Why didn’t you continue touching?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1365
“You were actually awake?!” Yan asked in shock, but the answer she got was actually…
“I was always awake.”
Yan was puzzled. “Then why didn’t you react even after I searched for so long?”
Han Qing’s voice sounded dull probably because he just woke up; his voice was still a little low and hoarse as he said, “I couldn’t bear to disturb you while you were busy searching.”
After hearing this, Yan felt that his words were full of sarcasm. She was so angry that she immediately got onto him and hit him. “You did it on purpose. You were awake but you didn’t let me know. Were you enjoying yourself looking at me searching the entire room and drawers while being all sneaky? They’re my things but you’re keeping them from me. Plus, not only are you refusing to return them to me, but you’re also making fun of me. Do you find it very fun?”
Han Qing’s expression was a little pleased before, but after Yan got angry, the smile in his eyes gradually faded. “It’s not fun. If possible, I wouldn’t want to confiscate your purse and ID. However, if I don’t do so, you’ll leave in the next second. What would I do if you left me?”
What would he do if I left him? For a brief moment, Yan was moved by his words. What would he do if I left him? Does he actually not know what he should do? Does he really need me? But… Even if he needed her, she could not bear to break her moral principles. It was fine before as she had not known about it, but since she already knew it now, what would she become if she continued to be with him? Thinking about this, Yan gritted her teeth and refuted, “You’ll do what you should. If I leave, you can go find another one.”
Upon hearing this, Han Qing’s complexion darkened as his grip became tighter. “Find another one?”
“Yes!” Yan nodded her head hard. “I don’t want you anymore, so you can go find a new one.”
“Are feelings something you can toss away when you feel like it? If that’s the case, why did you chase after me back then?”
“Yes,” Yan answered disapprovingly, “Initially, I was attracted to your looks, but now I’ve gotten sick of them, so I don’t want you anymore. Besides, I realized you don’t know how to care for your girlfriend, and is always busy with your own work. I always send stuff to your office, but you? What have you given me? What did you do when your employees were talking behind my back? Your fiancée…” Having gotten to this point, Yan suddenly stopped. Oh sh*t, why did I end up bringing up his fiancée? By saying it out loud, would I not be slapping myself in the face?
Han Qing also realized that there was something wrong with her words and he narrowed his eyes. “What fiancée?”
Yan turned her head, ignoring him. He knew it clearly in his heart but was pretending he did not by asking her. Does he really think I can be so easily bullied? “You know it well in your heart. You don’t need to ask me about it.”
After hearing this, Han Qing raised his eyebrows. At first, he thought she was upset and angry at him because he left after she prepared a birthday celebration for him. He even said hurtful words to her. Han Qing would naturally think she would want to break up with him because she was angry with him about that. Indeed, he was the one who hurt her first. Now, however, he realized that Yan did not seem to be angry because of the birthday incident.
Thinking of this, Han Qing asked her about his guess, “Isn’t it because of what happened on my birthday that you suddenly asked to break up?”
The birthday incident? Even though she had prepared it for a very long time and he just left after that, after hearing from Xu Yanwan that he never celebrated his birthday, she thought maybe she had just touched his sore points. As such, she even felt a little guilty about it. She was indeed sad, but she also wanted to know why he did not want to celebrate his birthday. It was just that she did not expect to hear the news that followed after about Xu Yanwan being his fiancée. It could be said to be a double whammy. If Xu Yanwan was not his fiancée, then she might not have taken the words she said to heart. However, she cared very much about that one sentence. ‘I thought you’ve managed to change his thoughts about celebrating his birthday. Since the both of you are a couple, shouldn’t he have told you about this?’
Seeing that Yan was not answering, Han Qing clasped her shoulders. “Well?”
Yan raised her head and met his eyes. “You already know about these matters very well, so why do you keep asking me about it? Do you think it’s fun, or do you want to humiliate me even more?”
These words made Han Qing very certain that she did not break up with him over the incident on his birthday. “You mentioned fiancée earlier. What’s that about?”
Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment. She wanted to speak, but she suppressed her urge. Finally, she laughed with anger. “What’s that about? That’s your fiancée, so why are you asking me about her? How do I know what’s going on?!” After that, she aggressively swatted his hands away while her voice sounded a little hysterical as she spoke, “You obviously have a fiancée, but you’re still spewing nonsense in front of me saying things like you’ve acknowledged me to be the person you’ll spend your life with. Han Qing, you’re so hypocritical!”
Han Qing was stunned and speechless. After a long silence, his voice sounded rather helpless. “Who told you that I have a fiancée?”
Yan’s breathing was hitched from being too angry, but when she heard these words, she was stunned. She looked at Han Qing who was before her. “What do you mean?”
“So, you want to break up with me because of this matter?” Han Qing did not answer her but asked yet another question before laughing. “You silly girl…”
Yan was absolutely lost. What’s going on? What does he mean by that sentence? He’s not admitting to having a fiancée? No, that’s not right. It wouldn’t matter if it was someone else who had said it, but Xu Yanwan said it herself and even sent me a WeChat message.
Thinking of this, Yan bit her lower lip. “Don’t lie to me. Do you dare say that you don’t have a fiancée?!”
Han Qing looked helpless. “I’ve always been single. Where would I have found a fiancée?”
“Then what about Xu Yanwan? Isn’t she your fiancée?”
Only silence followed. After the name was brought up, Han Qing’s eyes flashed with a daze. “Yanwan? Isn’t she my Uncle Xu’s daughter? I told you that before; how did she end up becoming my fiancée?”
Yanwan? “You’re even calling her name so affectionately!” Yan gritted her teeth angrily.
“As affectionate as I am with you, Yan?” Han Qing bent down, his forehead touching her fair forehead. At that moment, his voice became softer. “If you’re angry about this and want to break up with me, then you’ve wrongfully accused me.”
“Wrongfully accused you?”
“Yeah.” Han Qing nodded. “She’s not my fiancée. At most, we grew up together, so our relationship is slightly better than others. However, nothing is going on between us. I don’t even consider her as my younger sister.”
Yan thought he would say that he only treated Xu Yanwan as his younger sister, but who knew he would actually say that?
“I’ve always been looking for my biological younger sister and I have no regard for others. When it comes to the Xu family’s daughter, she’s at most only my childhood playmate.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1366
“After we grew up, the Xu family moved away. We didn’t even keep in touch these few years, so how could she have become my fiancée?” Han Qing explained to her softly while Yan finally cooled down to listen to him.
According to him, the both of them seemed to not have any relationship at all. Then why did Xu Yanwan claim herself as his fiancée? “Are you sure both of you aren’t engaged? She’s not your fiancée?”
“Yan, a wedding engagement isn’t a small matter. Do you think I’ll forget about it if the both of us are really engaged?”
Yan suddenly was speechless. She suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, “Then back then when we were at home and I asked you why you didn’t tell me about this, but you only replied it’s hard to put it into words… Weren’t you referring to this?”
Han Qing recalled for a moment and suddenly laughed. “I thought you were referring to why I don’t celebrate my birthday.”
Yan was at a loss for words. So, I was mad for nothing all this while? Han Qing had misunderstood her question and she had also misunderstood him.
“Next time when you ask a question, can you be clearer? The question you asked that time was so vague, so how would I know what you were referring to?”
Yan felt like he was blaming her. She then blinked and asked, “So you’re trying to say I’m too willful now? Since the both of you aren’t engaged, why did she admit to such things? Did you forget about it?”
“Admit?” Han Qing caught the keyword in her sentence. “She told you herself that she’s my fiancée?”
“More or less.” Yan pursed her lips while answering in an upset tone, “She didn’t plan to tell me initially. It was the people in the company who told me first, then she admitted it herself.”
Han Qing was someone that could see through others. When Yan said that, he immediately had an idea of what she went through. She thought Xu Yanwan was engaged to him and the people in the company knew about it while she was the only one who did not. She was also left alone during the birthday celebration. In the end, when she heard of this unacceptable news and went to ask him about it after she found it hard to accept, the both of them had a misunderstanding. After that, she wanted to break up with him. Anyone would lose their cool when faced with this type of situation. Moreover, his young lady loved him so much. Han Qing felt his heart aching after thinking of her crying for the past few days. He placed his big hand behind her head and pulled her over into his arms.
“There’s no engagement. There’s nothing between the both of us. I, Han Qing, have always been a single man. You’re the one who came after me first. I’ve told you that I’ve only acknowledged you and I won’t choose anyone else.”
Yan lay in his arms while listening to his heartbeat as her eyes reddened. She felt like she had been angry at him for nothing all this while. He could not be lying to her, which meant there was no engagement between him and Xu Yanwan if he insisted on this. But… what’s going on? Why did Xu Yanwan claim that she’s engaged to him? The people in the company said the same too.
“I know what you’re thinking. I’ll investigate this when we go back. After that, I’ll give you an answer.”
“Hmph.” Yan scoffed proudly while snuggling up to him. “I don’t want to know…”
“You don’t want to know? Then I’ll just leave the matter be when we get back?”
“How dare you?!” Yan yelled at him subconsciously before freezing for a moment.
Han Qing’s gaze fixated on her; his eyes were full of emotions as he touched the corner of her eyes while whispering, “Let’s just remain like this from now on.”
“What?”
“From now on, just get along with me like this. Don’t be too cautious with me. When you’re with me, you do whatever you want.”
Yan did not know how to respond. Thinking back, she was indeed being too willful this time. However, Han Qing tolerated her and even followed her all the way to here. She even said such hurtful words to him that anyone with a large ego would probably be unable to bear. However, he never lost his temper and kept following her—all the while tolerating her. If… she did not have a slip of a tongue and mentioned his fiancée, then wouldn’t she have wrongly broken up with him. After thinking about it, Yan wanted to apologize to him but felt awkward, so she could only scoff again. “Don’t act all proud. I don’t need you to teach me how to do this. I can do whatever I want.”
“Yes, you can do whatever you want.”
Then, both of them entered a moment of silence. After a while, Han Qing’s deep voice broke the silence. “Do you know why I don’t celebrate my birthday?”
Yan’s heart skipped a beat after hearing the question. She blinked her eyes nervously. Is he going to tell me the reason why he doesn’t celebrate his birthday? Normally, everyone would not hate celebrating their birthdays. Even if they would not purposely celebrate it, they would still be happy if someone were to celebrate it with them. If he never wanted to celebrate his birthday, that meant there was a memory that he never wanted to recall.
Yan suddenly remembered he had a tortured look that day when she asked him to blow out the candles. She immediately replied, “No.” She shook her head and snuggled into Han Qing’s arms. “I don’t want to know why you never want to celebrate your birthday. If you don’t want to celebrate, then let’s not do it after this. I’ll accompany you but I won’t celebrate it with you.”
After listening to the words that came from the bottom of her heart, Han Qing’s heart melted as well. The gloomy mood he had been in in the past few days also disappeared. He raised his lips and smiled while asking, “You really don’t want to know? Now that I want to say it, are you sure you don’t want to listen? There’ll be no chances after this.”
“I don’t want to hear it!” The young lady shook her head in his arms. “I won’t listen no matter what you say. I don’t want to know.” He had truly looked as if he was suffering that day. If a cake could make him suffer that much, how would he react if he was going to tell her about what happened before this? She was not that cruel to rub salt on other’s wounds just to appease her curiosity. Here, let me show you; this is my wound. Her heart ached just thinking about it.
“I was never angry about that. I was angry about your fiancée. Since things are cleared up now, I won’t be mad at you anymore.”
“You’re not going to break up with me anymore?”
“Nope.” Yan shook her head. “Not breaking up anymore.”
“Then do you still want your purse and ID back?”
“Nope.”
“So you’ll go back with me today?”
Yan immediately came back to her senses while lifting her head to look at him. Han Qing grabbed onto her chin and kissed her unexpectedly as soon as she lifted her head. His tongue was already inside her mouth when she was frozen for a moment.
“Mhm.” Yan hummed softly, but this time, she did not resist fully. Her heart was so soft because of Han Qing’s words. She just left her neck hanging while accepting his kisses, occasionally responding shyly. It was uncertain how long they had kissed for when Han Qing retreated and asked her softly, “Will you follow me back then?”
Yan nodded in a daze and said, “Yes!”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1367
In the end, Han Qing and Yan only stayed for a night at the hotel before heading back the next day. However, this time, they did not take the train as Han Qing had booked flight tickets for both of them. The young lady was in his arms when he was booking the tickets. She leaned on his arm and suddenly asked, “Why are you booking flight tickets? Did you have a hard time taking the train with me?”
Upon hearing this, Han Qing’s fingers paused while he looked at her from the side. “You want to take the train? Sure, I’ll accompany you.”
“No, no, no.” Yan shook her head. “Let’s take the plane. It’s too noisy on the train.” Besides, it would be annoying if they met someone like that woman from before.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
As such, Han Qing booked two flight tickets back home. Yan felt awkward on the plane. “Well, I told my parents that I went out to let off some steam by myself. I told them I’ll head home when I’m done but now I’m heading back after only a couple of days. Would it be a little too…”
Han Qing was helping her fasten her seatbelt. He curled the corners of his lips after hearing it. “Just tell them the truth.”
“Tell them the truth? That’s… impossible. It’s so awkward.”
“Awkward? What’s there to be awkward about? I’ll accompany you. Let me do the explanation.”
“No way, no way!” It would be much more awkward if he was going back with her. Yan immediately shook her head in disagreement to reject his proposal and replied dully, “I think I should go back myself.” She then asked again, “What time will we arrive?”
“We should be arriving at 12 midnight.”
We’re arriving at midnight? It’ll be very late by then. I’ll probably interrupt them when I get home.
“Let’s go to my place after. You can go back and explain to them tomorrow.”
“Okay. Sounds like a plan.”
Although the both of them had reconciled, Yan was still feeling a little awkward after what had happened from before. In short, the atmosphere did not seem as good as before they argued. Therefore, both of them did not talk to each other when there were no longer any conversation topics. The lights went off as the plane took off. Han Qing’s hand went to grab hers while his palms passed his warmth to her. “Don’t worry.” His words made her feel calm. She did not think about other things after that. Her mind went blank.
When the plane landed, Mr. Nan came to pick up Han Qing from the airport. He left after sending both of them back to the private villa. Han Qing was pulling Yan’s luggage while she walked beside him. Suddenly, she started sneezing on the way. “Ah-choo! Ah-choo!” The sneezes came one after another, and Yan was puzzled. “What’s going on?” She rubbed her itchy nose and asked, “Am I getting a cold?”
Han Qing paused after hearing this and turned around to look at her. “Have I passed you the illness?”
Yan asked, “You caught a cold?”
“I was caught in the rain a few days ago, so just a little.” His body was strong and he recovered very fast. However, he probably had not fully recovered yet. Furthermore, they were always together these few days, kissing and hugging. She probably caught the cold from him.
After hearing that he had the flu, Yan felt her heart ache while she walked up to him and grabbed onto his arm. “Then, are you fine now?”
“Would I be able to follow you to such a faraway place if I wasn’t okay?” Han Qing rubbed her nose indifferently.
“Did I actually get infected by you?”
“To be safe, we should go get some medicine for you later.”
Yan did not think of it as a big deal and nodded in agreement. Until Han Qing brought the medicine and warm water to her, she looked at the medicine in her hand and recalled that she was pregnant. She was already pregnant, so she could not simply take medication. Upon thinking about this, Yan immediately said, “I-I don’t need it.”
“Huh?” Han Qing thought she was afraid of taking the medicine and coaxed her softly, “It’s just a flu medicine. It’s not bitter. Just down it with some water.”
“No, I can’t. I don’t want to.” Yan got on the bed and went under the blanket. “It’s just a few sneezes. It might not be a cold. I don’t want to take the medicine.”
Han Qing did not know what to do with her. This little brat already agreed earlier, so why is she suddenly refusing to take it?
Yan covered herself with a blanket while feeling moody. She wanted to tell Han Qing about the news of her pregnancy during his birthday to surprise him, but there were too many things that happened after that. Although they had reconciled, it would be too sudden to tell him about it now. Let’s just wait a little longer.
However, Han Qing did not know about her condition and kept persuading her to take the medicine. Yan rejected it determinedly, and finally, Han Qing gave up forcing her. He just let her drink some warm water. He then tucked her in with a blanket and let her sleep well.
Yan was soundly asleep after she said goodnight to him. Han Qing became speechless and helpless after he heard her breathing evenly, realizing that this girl was able to sleep more compared to before. Recently, all she ever did was sleep.
…
Back then, Xu Yanwan had seen Yan walking out with the front desk receptionist. She could not help but follow behind the receptionist from the back and saw her looking all mysterious. After that, Yan’s complexion changed. She probably guessed that the front desk receptionist had told Yan she was Han Qing’s fiancée. She never wanted to tell Yan about her engagement with Han Qing from when they were young. However, since someone wanted her to know, then it was none of her business. The text message later was also sent after being overcome by desire and hope.
Xu Yanwan felt a little regret after that. She understood clearly what that WeChat message meant. Anyone who received the message would overthink it. However, she did not want to explain it further. She was being selfish. She had lost everything. When she lost her company and her parents, she came back to look for Han Qing. At that time, she felt that all she had left was Han Qing. However… Alas, she even lost Han Qing. I have nothing at all now, so why do I need to treat others nicely?
The next day, Xu Yanwan went to the company and got to know that Han Qing was not in. Everyone in the company was discussing with each other and even started hearing rumors about President Han breaking up with his girlfriend. This sort of rumor came from none other than the front desk receptionist herself.
Therefore, when someone asked her about it, Xu Yanwan acted as if it was none of her business. She said coldly, “How would I know if they broke up or not? Let’s not talk about this during working hours.”
She heard her colleagues talking from behind her back as she turned around and left.
“Tsk. Why is she pretending? She must be happy to hear that the both of them have broken up. Didn’t she join Han Group for President Han?
“That’s right. If it’s not because she likes President Han, why would she come to Han Group out of so many other companies?”
“You all better stop. She was initially President Han’s fiancée. President Han was only playing with the mistress. Xu Yanwan is still the actual fiancée.”
Xu Yanwan smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. After hearing such words for a long time, she almost genuinely believed that she was the real fiancée while Yan was just a mistress. However, this was not the truth.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1368
Although both of them had an engagement, Han Qing never once showed his affection to her. He treated her plainly or maybe just slightly better than strangers. However, it was just a little better and nothing more. It was not even similar to affection toward a family member. If… they’ve really broken up, would… I have a chance again?
It was rare that Han Muzi was free today. She ditched Ye Moxuan and brought along Little Sprout to Han Group. She saw a familiar figure when she was about to go and look for Han Qing. She had doubts in her and immediately followed after. Finally, she followed her to the company’s department and saw Xu Yanwan sitting down at her desk.
Han Muzi narrowed her eyes and was shocked to see Xu Yanwan. What’s going on here? The moment Han Muzi stared at her, Little Sprout suddenly moved around in her arms. Han Muzi had no choice but to lower her head to coax her. Xu Yanwan already saw her when she lifted her head again.
Xu Yanwan was also surprised to see her. However, she adjusted herself soon enough and smiled as she approached Han Muzi.
“Muzi,” Xu Yanwan greeted her first while calling out her name.
Han Muzi could not bear to ignore her at this point. She gave her the same smile, but it was a little plain. She did not greet her back. Xu Yanwan could understand from her gaze and emotions. Her smile faded a little as she asked, “You came to look for Han Qing? It’s too bad then. He hasn’t been in the company these past two days.”
He’s not in the company? Isn’t my brother a workaholic? Why is he suddenly not coming to the company? Did something happen?
“I know you have a lot of questions for me, but it’s not suitable to talk here. Let’s change the venue?” Xu Yanwan initiated.
Han Muzi nodded. “Sure.” She did have a lot to ask her. She just did not expect the other party to be aware of it as well.
The both of them went somewhere else, thereupon Xu Yanwan brought them to the visitor’s room. Su Jiu saw the two of them and did not say anything. She just made a cup of coffee for them before leaving. The visitor room was only left with Xu Yanwan and Han Muzi. Oh, and Little Sprout, of course. Little Sprout was being exceptionally obedient. Currently, she was sleeping soundly in the arms of Han Muzi. Both her little fair hands were holding each other, forming a little fist while she slept soundly.
Xu Yanwan took a glance at Little Sprout and said enviously, “Is that your daughter? She’s so cute.”
“Yes.” Han Muzi nodded. “This is my daughter, Little Sprout.”
“You have a son and a daughter now. You have everything. You’re such a winner in life.”
Han Muzi felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words after hearing this. She did not reply and waited for Xu Yanwan to continue. Indeed, she did not disappoint her. The smile which was initially on her face gradually faded after that. “I know you’re surprised to see me here, aren’t you?”
Han Muzi remained silent as she looked at her.
“You must be thinking that I haven’t given up and that’s why I came back to Han Group to continue this relationship with him, right? Do you think I’m here to break his and his current girlfriend’s relationship?”
Han Muzi was stunned for a moment as she did not expect her to be this direct with her words. When she was about to say something, Xu Yanwan continued, “If you’re me, would you be willing to give up someone you’ve been cherishing deep down and have loved from young till now? Would you willingly let go of him? I know you’ve never been through this before, so you probably can’t empathize. However, I have no choice but to come to Han Group. I wanted to stay away from him too, but…” At this point, Xu Yanwan paused for a moment as she lowered her eyes. Her entire person had become lifeless. “I can’t help but get close to him. When I lost everything, I thought I would still have him. However, the fact is, I lost him too. How do you want me to accept this?” It was the time for her to confess herself and Han Muzi did not interrupt her either. “I don’t want to do this either since he already has a girlfriend. If I continue like this, it’ll only make me look like I’ve lost my morals. However, Muzi, I was the one who had an engagement with him first. Moreover, I haven’t done anything since I joined Han Group. I’ve only looked at him in pain every day whenever he’s with his current girlfriend.”
Han Muzi finally started talking, “I know you can’t accept this all at once. However, everything is full of uncertainties. Even if you said the engagement is real, both of you have never started a relationship. Therefore, I advise you to leave while you can. If you’re facing difficulties in life, I can help you. You’ll only get stuck even deeper if you stay here; you won’t ever be able to escape from it.” After that, Han Muzi just stared at her, seemingly trying to inspire her. “You might not have anything now, but if you want to, you can have a new life. Your future is bright. Why would you want to go to this extent for a man?”
Her words opened up Xu Yanwan’s heart.
Xu Yanwan slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Han Muzi’s face. She gave a slight smile as she said, “You’re indeed very smart and a good talker too. You’re gentle; just like the late Madam Han. What you’ve just said really hit the bottom of my heart. If I’m willing to, then it’s true that I can start my life all over again. However, Muzi, do you know just how much courage one would need to start their life all over again? I’m truly scared that I won’t ever be able to see him again. I just want to stay this way by his side looking at him and knowing what’s going on with him, even if it’s about him being with someone else. That way, I won’t feel that the days are bland.”
“Then, will you be okay even if you hear news about him getting married and having children of his own later on?
With just one sentence, Xu Yanwan’s expression changed. Her hands subconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes as she bit her lower lip. Han Muzi chuckled. “See. I’m only just casually bringing it up but you’re already unable to handle it, so why should you continue to remain here? You need to start a new chapter of your life; only then will you be able to forget about this old chapter.”
It was unknown what Xu Yanwan was currently thinking, but she suddenly raised her head while feeling resentment in her heart. “You and Ye Moxuan have separated before, right? If he loses his memory and falls for another woman, would you give up on him?”
Hearing this, Han Muzi was taken aback. She did not expect that she would bring up Ye Moxuan.
“You wouldn’t because he’s the only person you’ve loved, so you can’t give up on him. What about now? You’re asking me to give up, but why didn’t you give up when it happened to you?”
So you’re going to debate on this point? Han Muzi looked at Xu Yanwan in silence for a long time, then she suddenly tugged her lips into a smile. “You’re wrong.”
“What?”
“The reason I didn’t give up was because I know Ye Moxuan was in love with me too. The both of us love each other. He forgot about me, but he didn’t dislike me. That’s why I didn’t give up. If one day he chooses to love someone else in an absolute clear-minded state, then I won’t have any reason to stay.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1369
“Do you and my brother fulfill this condition? Apart from growing up together when you were kids, did you have any sort of romantic relationship with each other?”
Xu Yanwan was speechless when she heard the words, probably because she did not expect Han Muzi to speak such harsh and blunt words. Actually, Han Muzi had only been waiting for the right time to say these words out. She just thought that the other party would have something to say regarding this matter, so she never spoke up. She just did not expect that Xu Yanwan would bring up her affairs as an example. She also brought up the memories that had left her broken-hearted back then.
Now that everything had been said, Han Muzi figured that she did not have to be too courteous anymore, so she pointed it out clearly. “Am I wrong to say so?” She smiled and said in a light tone, “You and Han Qing aren’t in any sort of relationship, and I’m guessing that he’s not even aware of the engagement. Otherwise, with his character, he would’ve broken off the engagement with the Xu family long ago if he doesn’t like you. He wouldn’t have let you continue believing that you’re his fiancée.”
Xu Yanwan was shocked, and even her lips had turned a little pale. “You…”
“Yanwan, you used to be the treasure of the Xu family, so I won’t be saying any other unpleasant words. Since I already told you this, you can probably figure it out yourself.”
Xu Yanwan remained sitting with an unpleasant look on her face as she bit her lower lip. Then, she suddenly smiled. “That’s right; what you’ve said is correct. I don’t have any sort of relationship with him. He doesn’t like me, and it’s only my wishful thinking. No matter how deeply in love I am, I won’t be able to get my feelings reciprocated.”
“The things that I’ve said to you before are still valid. If you’re willing, you can start a new life for yourself. No matter what kind of life it is, it’s definitely not worse than watching the man you love happily in love with someone else.” After talking, Han Muzi stood up while holding Little Sprout. “Let’s end this discussion here. You’re already well aware of many things in your heart, so I won’t say too much. Little Sprout needs to sleep, so I’ll bring her back first.” Han Muzi bade farewell before turning around to leave.
Xu Yanwan looked at Han Muzi with her fists clenched tightly and hanging by her side. She gritted her teeth and called out to her, “Muzi, wait a minute.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi stopped and looked back at her. “Is there anything else?”
“You…” From the look on her face, Xu Yanwan appeared to be a little embarrassed. She was clutching the corner of her clothes while looking as if she was struggling to speak. “Do you hate me?” After asking this, she felt that her question seemed hypocritical, so she quickly explained, “I didn’t do it intentionally. I was just agitated earlier and suddenly thought of your affairs, so I couldn’t help myself from bringing it up. I don’t have any ill intentions, and I definitely didn’t intend to attack you.”
Han Muzi was surprised to see that Xu Yanwan would lower her head like this and say such words to her. She gave a carefree smile before saying, “It’s okay; I didn’t take it to heart.” She really did not take Xu Yanwan’s words to heart. After all, the two were not very close to each other.
When Xu Yanwan met her gaze, she probably knew what she meant. Her gaze seemed a little sad and she did not speak anymore. Han Muzi left right after that. As Han Qing was not around, Han Muzi planned to go to Yan’s restaurant with Little Sprout. When she stepped out, she bumped into Su Jiu. “Hey, Muzi. Have you guys finished chatting?”
Seeing Su Jiu, Han Muzi smiled at her. “Secretary Su, aren’t you busy today?”
Su Jiu raised her eyebrows immediately before replying, “How is that possible? Not only am I busy, but I’m almost going mad as well.”
“What’s wrong?”
“President Han has turned away all work, so I’ve been extremely busy these past few days.”
Turned away all work? Han Muzi did not think this sounded like her brother. Recalling what Xu Yanwan had told her earlier, she had probably guessed something. “Could it be that my brother and Yan are having relationship problems?”
“You’re the smartest after all.” Su Jiu nodded and smiled. “I think that they must be having problems too, and it’s not a small one either. As for what the problem is, I’m not sure.” After speaking, she seemed to remember something and looked in the direction of the reception room. She lowered her voice and asked, “What did you two talk about just now? Xu Yanwan…”
Han Muzi looked at her amusedly. “What about this person? Why did you stop talking?”
“Cough. Everything is uncertain now, so I don’t dare to say.”
“Just say it. We’re quite close, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
Su Jiu was only pretending to be hesitant. Even if Han Muzi did not say that, she would still tell Han Muzi her thoughts. “Xu Yanwan was in the hospital for a short while previously. While I was taking care of her, Yan would bring food to the hospital every day. Afterward, they added each other on WeChat, but I later realized that there was something off about Xu Yanwan. I can’t be sure if she has any ill intentions, but I know for sure that she likes your brother.”
“Yeah.” Han Muzi admitted it. “It’s true that she likes my brother. It can’t be hidden.” Whenever she saw Han Qing, her eyes would be full of strong feelings for him that even someone from ten yards away could sense.
“But Yan doesn’t know about this and still gets along with her so well. She’s usually quite a clever person, so why is she getting confused at this critical moment? Maybe this is what they meant by ‘the spectators see better than the players’?”
What Han Muzi did not expect was that Yan and Xu Yanwan had become good friends and even added each other on WeChat. Then, is the couple’s problem this time around involving Xu Yanwan?
Thinking about this, Han Muzi’s eyes darkened a little. “What’s the situation now? Where has my brother gone to? Do you know?”
“I do.” Su Jiu nodded. “I helped him buy a train ticket and he ran off with Yan.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I think it’s because Yan had lost her temper at him and didn’t want to entertain your brother anymore. Then, your brother bought a train ticket as well to follow her.”
Han Muzi was a little speechless after hearing this. What are they doing?
After finding out that Yan was not in the ramen restaurant, Han Muzi was in no hurry to leave and went directly to Han Qing’s office. She placed Little Sprout on the sofa and took out her phone to call Yan. Unexpectedly, the response she got was, “Hello, the number you have dialed is not in service.”
What the hell? Han Muzi hung up the phone and furrowed her eyebrows. What the hell are they up to?
However, with Han Qing by Yan’s side, she did not have to worry about Yan getting into danger. She just wanted to know what had happened to the two and whether it might be related to Xu Yanwan. After all, this matter was not a small one. Han Muzi regretted it a bit now.
She should have told Yan about it sooner, but when she started to get busy, she thought that Xu Yanwan was a pretty decent person, so she did not care much about it. Who knew… people change. In many cases, one would not be able to control their behavior completely and would involuntarily do things that they knew were wrong. Forget it. I shouldn’t worry so much. There’s no one here, so I should just quickly go back. If she went back late, Ye Moxuan would no longer let her out next time.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1370
On the other side, Yan and Han Qing were staying in a villa. As Yan refused to take the medicine, she got up feeling heavy in her head the next day and could hardly open her eyes. She was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes under the blanket. What unfortunate luck. Wasn’t it just a kiss? How did I catch a cold?
Thinking about it, she started to get a headache. However, Yan did not dare to let Han Qing know. If he knew that she was in even more discomfort than yesterday, then he would force her to take the medicine. She was pregnant now, so she could not simply take medications. Thinking about this, Yan rolled over and continued to nestle under the blanket. She might as well sleep for the day.
Han Qing thought that Yan was asleep and because they had come back late last night, he did not bother her in the morning. He did not expect that Yan would continue sleeping till noon. As such, he went up to look for her.
When she heard Han Qing knocking on the door, Yan thought to herself, If he comes in later, will he figure out that my cold has gotten more serious? Yan immediately got up from the bed and stood for a while before opening the door as she felt that her voice would sound nasal if she was lying down on the bed.
“Are you up?” Han Qing saw her sleepy eyes and messed up hair. He subconsciously reached out to tidy up her hair.
After being touched by him in this way, Yan realized that she probably looked like a mess. To try to hide the fact that she was having a cold, she was not bothered by anything else and forgot about the most important thing. Damn it! Sleeping at home could not be compared to sleeping outside. She would be more cautious when she was outside, but when sleeping at home, the bed was big and the pillows, as well as the blanket, were soft. As such, she would roll around in bed. As she rolled, she ended up with hair like a chicken’s nest.
Now, Han Qing was helping her tidy up her messy hair. Yan hurriedly retreated and took a few steps back with a shy expression on her face.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere on your body?” Han Qing still remembered that she did not want to take the medicine last night. When he saw her stepping back, not only did he not let her go, but he also took two steps forward to try to touch her forehead.
Yan only reacted when his hand came over. It turned out that he wanted to check her temperature. As she was not feeling cold, she thought that she was not having a fever. As such, she stood there obediently and allowed him to touch her.
Han Qing was taking it seriously, and when he did not feel anything, he placed his forehead against hers instead. Then, he frowned slightly while saying, “You seem to be having a slight fever. Do you have any dizziness?”
“Huh?” A slight fever? Yan blinked, shaking her head. In actuality, she was a little dizzy. Fortunately, she could still endure it.
“Don’t lie to me.” As he had asked her to take medicine last night but she refused to, Han Qing thought she was lying to him so that she could avoid taking medicine. “If you’re feeling unwell, you have to take medicine as soon as possible. If you’re not willing to take it, then we can head to the hospital.”
Hearing the word ‘hospital’, Yan’s gaze immediately changed. She shook her head vigorously. “No, no, I’m not going to the hospital.” As soon as she spoke, her voice sounded hoarse and she failed to hide her nasal tone. Yan was speechless for a moment. She could not hide it any longer…
Han Qing heard the difference in her voice and frowned even deeper. “So you are sick! And yet you still want to lie to me? Why don’t you want to go to the hospital?”
Hearing this, Yan lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip before saying, “I just don’t want to go to the hospital. I’m very tired. I just want to rest at home; is that not allowed?”
“What about the medicine? Why won’t you take it?”
In the end, she still refused to take the medicine and would not go to the hospital either. Yan thought about it for a moment before immediately breaking the jar. She said, “I don’t want to take it. I insist on being stubborn.” After speaking, she raised her head and looked over at Han Qing. “Didn’t you say that I can do whatever I want when I’m with you? This is what I want to do now. I don’t want to take the medicine or go to the hospital.”
Han Qing was left speechless by this. Did this silly girl deliberately say such words to anger him? Did she want him to feel like he had shot himself in the foot and make him regret his actions? “I indeed said those words, but you’re not feeling well now. Those are two different things.”
“No, I don’t care if it’s two different things. I won’t go either way.” Yan pursed her lips and complained, saying, “Plus, I was just fine before this and would never catch a cold. It’s because you kissed me and passed the virus to me! Can you blame me for this? No! So why should I take the medicine or go to the hospital over a mistake you made?!” After speaking till the end, Yan silently praised herself for her wit. She was really smart to even think of such words. He should be speechless now, right?
Han Qing probably did not expect Yan to push all the blame for this on him. He looked at the young lady in front of him and thought for a while before saying, “It’s okay if you don’t go to the hospital or take the medicine, but get up and have something to eat. You should drink more warm water too.”
“Hmph.” Yan snorted softly. “Drink more warm water? That’s a very famous saying.” However, she no longer had to take the medicine or go to the hospital, which made Yan feel quite pleased. She curled her lips into a smile and followed Han Qing downstairs for lunch.
After lunch, Yan started to feel sleepy again. Then, she suddenly remembered something very important. “By the way, I haven’t told my parents that I’m safe and sound yet. I have to call them.”
“I’ve already called them.” Han Qing stopped her from walking away and took the young lady’s hand before pulling her to sit on his lap.
Yan was a little surprised when she heard the words. “You’ve called them? When?”
“When you were in bed this morning.” Han Qing sighed silently. “When you finally remember, your parents would’ve already been so anxious.”
Hearing this, Yan touched her nose in an embarrassed manner before becoming angry again. “What about it? Are you blaming me now?”
“Nope.”
“Nope? I just saw a hint of disdain in your eyes just now. Are you upset at me for sleeping too much? You—mmph.”
His kiss fell upon her lips once more, sealing away all her words. Yan hurriedly pushed him away, blushing as she said, “I still have a cold.”
Han Qing pressed his head against hers while his thin lips touched the tip of her nose. He whispered in his hoarse voice, “It’s fine; I’ve caught a cold as well. We’re in this together.”
Yan blushed as she stared at him, “I… I don’t want to be in this with you!”
“Are you sure about that?” Han Qing leaned a little closer; his thin lips were very close to hers. However, he did not kiss her. Yan blinked her eyes nervously as their breaths intertwined. She could not bear such flirtatious ways and subconsciously tilted her head. It was better to remain stationary because as soon as she tilted her head, her lips were sealed again.
The atmosphere was filled with his masculinity, and Yan’s mind suddenly went blank. However, she immediately felt recharged and did not mind her cold anymore. Eventually, she started responding to his kisses. In the end, her entire person was carried up the stairs by Han Qing. It was not until they entered the bedroom that Yan could finally give a reaction.
