Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1501

“What did you say?” Han Muzi thought she had misheard Ye Moxuan. Little Bean was just a small boy. How could they start planning his betrothal now? He wasn’t going to arrange a blind date for his son, was he?

Han Muzi thought that he was just joking, but he seemed to be deep in thought. “A few days ago, I met the daughter of Tang Group’s owner. She is quite a lovely girl, a perfect match for Little Bean,” he suggested seriously,

“Come again?”

Ye Moxuan coughed lightly, feeling rather guilty. Honestly, he didn’t even notice the girl’s appearance. All he heard was that the owner of Tang Group had a daughter, and she was one or two years younger than Little Bean. That was all he remembered.

Her appearance wasn’t a concern. What mattered most was to arrange a marriage for Little Bean so that he wouldn’t hog his mother’s attention all the time.

“I will talk to her father, and set a time for the two of them to meet.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi was speechless yet again.

Since just now, she had no idea what was going on. Before this topic got any further, she wanted to clarify on what he was suggesting.

But Ye Moxuan was on a roll, and kept planning the matter. When he mentioned that he wanted to arrange a meeting between Little Bean and the girl, Han Muzi finally couldn’t stand it any longer.

“Little Bean is still so young. What have you been rambling on about? Are you seriously considering it?”

Ye Moxuan held her hands, his dark gaze staring back at her.

“Yes, Little Bean isn’t a child anymore. Children should be nurtured since young. If there is someone who fits the bill, we should match them. After Little Bean graduates, they can get married straight away.”

Han Muzi pursed her red lips, thinking that it wasn’t far fetched for Ye Moxuan to come up with such an idea. “I hope it’s not because of me that made you want to find a match for Little Bean, right?” she asked.

“Is that a problem?”

She did not expect Ye Moxuan to admit it out loud. “He vies for your attention every day. You’re my woman, so I have to find one for him.”

Han Muzi’s lips twitched. “But he is your son.”

“So what?” Ye Moxuan chuckled coldly. “Even though he is my son, he still can’t take my woman away.”

Han Muzi was absolutely speechless. This was taking his jealousy to a whole new level.

“Ye Moxuan, I know that you are jealous, but your jealousy should have a limit. Little Bean is still young. To find him a match at this age is just too much. No parent would do such a thing.”

“Why not? In the olden days, didn’t people get married through matchmakers? Some were even spoken for before they were born. Besides, we are just introducing them to each other, not asking them to get married. Let them get along first as childhood friends. Who knows, things might work out in the end.”

He did have a point. Han Muzi had no comeback for him.

“I don’t think this will work. It will never happen.”

“In that case, I will just introduce them to each other and be friends. I won’t talk about marriage.”

Seeing Han Muzi’s rejection, Ye Moxuan tried to persuade her from another angle. Han Muzi glanced at him and she could see that his eyes were filled with determination. It seemed that he wouldn’t give up no matter what.

Becoming friends seemed much more acceptable than becoming engaged, right?

“When he’s in school, he sits and interacts with other girls too, right? Come on. Is there a problem in befriending more girls? Won’t you wish for Little Bean to have more choices in life?”

As a mother, Han Muzi had never thought of this. It wasn’t that she did not think of it, more like it wasn’t the right time for her to be concerned about it yet. She still had at least ten years before it became a pressing matter.

Now that Ye Moxuan asked her all of a sudden, she really didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her in deep thought, Ye Moxuan held her hand tightly and interlocked their fingers. His voice was low and deep, with a sense of leadership in his tone.

“I’m his father. Although I’m jealous, I will never harm him. I just want to give him some space to grow. He sticks to you all day, and it isn’t good for him to be too dependent on you. Every day, you need to divide your time between me, Little Bean, and Little Sprout,so I’m sure you’re exhausted. If he doesn’t stick to you, you will have more time for Little Sprout, right?

Han Muzi seemed affected by his words.

It was true that Little Bean had been sticking around her a lot, but she didn’t think much about it. However, she did think that Little Bean should be socializing more and making more friends.

“Little Bean will have more friends. Moreover, since Little Sprout is still young, she needs more time and attention. Isn’t it a win-win situation?”

Ye Moxuan spoke seriously, as if he was a particularly brave and selfless father; he even managed to completely hide his selfish intentions while talking to Han Muzi.

He thought she wouldn’t realize his true intentions.

At last, Han Muzi raised her head and stared at him. Gritting her teeth, she said, “You put it that way, but it is all for your own reasons. This is my first time seeing a father being jealous of his own son.”

But his idea actually wasn’t that bad. After all, Little Bean would get to know more people.

Therefore, no matter how she disliked his idea, she agreed to it in the end.

As Han Muzi agreed, Ye Moxuan’s heart filled with joy, even though his face didn’t show it.

When he returned to work in the afternoon, he didn’t even think to hold the meeting. Instead, he immediately went to find Tang Group’s owner.

That very evening, he brought home a little girl, almost giving Han Muzi a heart attack when she saw her.

Ye Moxuan had indeed brought home a little girl, but she was chubby all over, with round cheeks framing round eyes, and a round figure with chubby arms and legs.

She was like a little ball.

Han Muzi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you sure Little Bean is your biological son?”

It was not that she was trying to discriminate against fat people, but this young girl was really round. She just thought that with Ye Moxuan being Little Bean’s father, what he said in the morning was completely different from the sight that greeted her now.

It really was a huge difference.

As for Ye Moxuan, he honestly didn’t expect the girl to be…

He covered his lips with his hands and coughed softly. Bracing himself, he forged on, “Just a new friend. If Little Bean dares to discriminate, I will never let him live it down.”

When Little Bean came home that night and saw Little Chubbs sitting at the dining table, he was confused.

As soon as Han Muzi saw him, she waved at him.

“Welcome back, Little Bean!”

Baffled, Little Bean walked over to ask his mother. “Mom, who is she?”

Little Chubbs was sitting at the dining table, her head buried in a bowl while she ate with gusto. Little Bean looked at what she was eating, and noticed that it was actually a bowl of peanut glutinous rice balls.

Usually, he wouldn’t even have a bite of it because he felt it was overly sweet.

However, Little Chubbs happily gobbled all the food in a flash.

After finishing her bowl, she even asked for another helping.

Her appetite really was astonishing.

“I’d like you to meet the youngest daughter of the Tang Group. Her name is Tang Yuanyuan. Come over and say hi.”

Tang Yuanyuan?

Little Bean memorized the name. Indeed, it was aptly chosen.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1502

Tang Yuanyuan. A fitting name for the little girl.

She had round eyes and a round body.

Every part of her was round. Her name was indeed meant for her.

“Yuanyuan.” Han Muzi wiped the corner of Tang Yuanyuan’s mouth. Gently, she said, “Come and meet this little brother, alright?”

“Okay!” Tang Yuanyuan’s voice was cute and soft, just like her.

Mrs. Ye had given her many types of food to eat, so she liked her very much and listened to everything she said.

“This is my son, Little Bean.”

Upon hearing, Little Bean frowned with dissatisfaction. “Mummy, that’s my pet name. How can you tell her my pet name?”

“Both of you are just kids. What’s wrong with telling her your pet name?”

“Brother, what’s your real name?” Unexpectedly, Tang Yuanyuan ventured to ask Little Bean his name.

Little Bean smiled delightedly, “Listen carefully. My name has four words—Yuchi Yishu.”

Tang Yuanyuan didn’t seem to recognize these four words. Still, she watched Little Bean’s mouth closely, and tried to repeat these words. It resulted in her saying Little Bean’s name haltingly yet seriously.

Hearing those words, Little Bean couldn’t help but fall for the adorable side of Tang Yuanyuan. Also, since he was older than her, he walked toward her and patted her on the head.

“Well done! Call me ‘brother’ and I will treat you to some chocolate.”

I just have to call him ‘brother’ and I can have chocolates? Tang Yuanyuan loved anyone who gave her food. From the moment when she was born, she only bowed to one thing, and that was food.

“Brother!” Tang Yuanyuan pulled on Little Bean’s shirt with her chubby little hand. “Brother! Brother! Thank you, brother!”

She had never been stingy when it came to people who gave her food. That was why she generously called him ‘brother’ numerous times. It was rare for Little Bean to be called and treated by girls in this manner.

Before his little sister—Little Sprout—was born, he had actually envisioned this scenario a few times. He always felt helpless because his own sister rarely called him ‘brother’. Although Little Bean tried to teach her often, Little Sprout always called him ‘Baba’, making him furious.

He even felt that Little Sprout was siding with his father. That could be why she insisted on calling him ‘Baba’ no matter how hard he tried to correct her.

Tang Yuanyuan’s words had pierced straight to his heart.

When Han Muzi saw the entire exchange, she said softly to Little Bean, “Mummy has to look after Little Sprout for a while. Can you help me to look after Tang Yuanyuan?”

Little Bean nodded obediently. “Okay, Mummy.”

After Han Muzi left, Tang Yuanyuan blinked her big round eyes and looked at Little Bean, but he showed no reaction, so she played with her fingers nervously.

Moments later, Tang Yuanyuan raised her head impatiently and looked at Little Bean again.

However, she didn’t open her mouth to remind Little Bean about the chocolate he had promised her. Her mother had told her not to ask for food from others because it was rude, and people would dislike her.

If a person is willing to give you something, they will surely give it to you even without you asking.

Even though Tang Yuanyuan loved to eat, she still had her own principles.

When Little Bean realized her eyes were brimming with desire but she didn’t even ask for anything, he eventually asked her, “I don’t have any chocolate with me now, but I can take you along to buy some. Would you dare to go out with me?”

Eh?

Tang Yuanyuan glanced at him and nodded her head profusely. “Brother, I’m willing to go with you!”

“Alright. Follow me then.”

Upon hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan climbed down from the chair and followed right behind Little Bean. Compared to her short round legs, Little Bean had impossibly long legs, so his steps were naturally bigger when he walked. Unfortunately, Tang Yuanyuan’s footsteps were half of that of the average person; all she could do was to run and keep up with Little Bean.

She could keep up with him at first, but after some distance, Tang Yuanyuan started to pant tiredly. She looked at the tall figure walking in front of her, but she didn’t dare ask him to slow down.

At this moment, Little Bean felt that something was a little off, so he stopped to look at Tang Yuanyuan.

Tang Yuanyuan was running with all her might. When she saw that Little Bean had stopped, she almost couldn’t stop in time. Luckily, Little Bean held out his hand to stabilize her.

Noticing her panting, he realized that he was walking much too fast just now. He immediately slowed down his steps, unconsciously glancing at Tang Yuanyuan’s short legs.

Just like her name, her legs were short and round.

Although Tang Yuanyuan was chubby, she had a glowy complexion, with big round sparkly eyes and pretty pink lips. She was indeed an adorable chubby girl.

Little Bean couldn’t resist pinching her cheek.

“Brother?” Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head at him.

Seeing her reaction, Little Bean couldn’t resist himself again and pinched her cheek once more.

Such chubby cheeks.

Looking at her expression, Little Bean pulled his hand back. “It’s nothing. Are you tired from running? We can walk slowly.”

Although Tang Yuanyuan was still young, she knew that he was giving in to her. Her own mother used to carry her when she walked slowly.

It was different with this brother. He was not her mother, but he was willing to stop and wait for her; he was indeed a caring person.

Therefore, Tang Yuanyuan said to him sweetly, “Thank you, Brother.”

Then, Little Bean continued to walk with her, before going to find the chauffeur to bring them to a shopping mall near Seabay Villa.

Concerned for the two kids, the chauffeur said, “Little Young Master, let me go in with you.”

Unexpectedly, Little Bean shook his head. “It’s fine. Both of us will go in together. We’ll be back in a little while.”

Little Bean was an intelligent boy. Judging by his looks, they should be alright, so the chauffeur agreed.

And so, Little Bean and Tang Yuanyuan went in to buy some chocolates.

Initially, they were planning on buying chocolate. However, along the way, Tang Yuanyuan was distracted by the cotton candy on the shelf; she kept staring at it and wouldn’t move.

Little Bean noticed that she wasn’t keeping up, so he turned, only to find her staring at the cotton candy.

As soon as she realized he was looking at her, Tang Yuanyuan blushed and looked down shyly.

Just then, much to her surprise, Little Bean walked toward her and took the cotton candy from the shelf, asking, “How many do you want?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1503

“What?” Tang Yuanyuan thought she had misheard him. Why would Little Bean ask her how much cotton candy she wanted?

“Are you going to buy it for me, Little Bean?”

“You don’t want it?”

“But…” Tang Yuanyuan bit her fingers hesitantly as she gave him a pitiful look. “You only promised to buy me chocolates. Although I do love cotton candy, I also love chocolates too.”

The most important thing was that she did not know which one to choose.

If she were to choose cotton candy, Little Bean might not buy her chocolates anymore.

Seeing through her hesitation—after all, this little girl wore her heart on her sleeve—he went to grab a few packets of cotton candy and placed it in the trolley. “In that case, we’ll buy both chocolates and cotton candy, and…”

Suddenly, he tugged on Tang Yuanyuan’s hands, saying, “Don’t bite your fingers. It’s very unhygienic.”

“Okay.” In an instant, Tang Yuanyuan withdrew her hands, stood up straight and obediently agreed. “I’m sorry, Brother. I won’t do it again.”

After Little Bean had bought cotton candy and chocolates for Tang Yuanyuan, she looked at him almost reverently.

As he walked together with the short and chubby little girl, Little Bean suddenly asked, “Do you want to play some games?”

Tang Yuanyuan’s face lit up with a curious and excited look. Seeing that, Little Bean couldn’t help but curl his lips upward. “Come, I’ll take you.”

When Tang Yuanyuan heard that, she felt grateful toward Little Bean. Not only did he buy her cotton candy and chocolates, he even took her to play games.

The little girl was so touched that she reached out and hugged Little Bean by his arms, leaning entirely on him.

“Thank you, Brother.” Tang Yuanyuan’s voice was all soft and gentle.

Little Bean then took her to play for quite some time. The chauffeur who was waiting started to become anxious, and wondered if something had happened to the both of them. Just as he was about to enter the shopping mall in search of them, he received a phone call from Han Muzi.

“Young Lady Ye. Yes. Little Young Master is in the mall. He said he wanted to buy some chocolates. Yes, he has entered the complex but hasn’t returned for a long time.”

Originally, Han Muzi just wanted the two of them to get along well. But when she returned, to her surprise, she couldn’t find the two of them anywhere. It was only after asking around that she knew that Little Bean had gone out with Tang Yuanyuan.

She was really worried and anxious. It was fine when Little Bean ventured out alone as usual, but how could he bring someone else’s daughter along with him? So, she immediately called the chauffeur.

After hearing from the chauffeur, she was still worried. “The complex is crowded and is like a maze. Even though Little Bean is smart, they are still two little children. Plus, Tang Yuanyuan…”

With those short little legs of hers, how could she run if they faced any danger?

The chauffeur could hear the anxiety in Han Muzi’s voice. He assured her, “Don’t worry, Young Lady Ye. Little Young Master is quick on his feet, I’m sure nothing will happen to them. I’ll go in at once to search for them.”

“Alright.”

Hanging up the phone, the chauffeur was getting ready to enter into the building in search for the two children.

As soon as he took a few steps out from the car, he saw Little Bean walking out from the complex, but this time, the two of them did not walk out together.

Tang Yuanyuan had fallen asleep and was clinging to Little Bean’s back. Her chubby little arms were wrapped around his neck, and she was fast asleep on his back.

Although Little Bean was carrying a chubby little girl on his back, he managed to walk steadily without wobbling.

The chauffeur hurried toward them and opened his mouth to speak. However, Little Bean made a hand gesture to silence him. Seeing that, the chauffeur had no choice but to remain silent and proceeded to open the car door for them.

After buckling up a sleeping Tang Yuanyuan, they departed for Seabay Villa.

At night, the President of Tang Group and his wife went to pick up Tang Yuanyuan. Both husband and wife felt extremely nervous when they entered the house, their hands fidgeting the whole way.

Even though Tang Group was a very profitable group, they were nothing compared to Ye Group.

When the couple first heard Ye Moxuan had come over to look for Tang Yuanyuan, even initiating to matchmake both their children together, they were shocked to the core. President Tang’s wife even thought there was a hidden agenda behind all this.

But after they got to know Ye Moxuan’s character better, the couple was relieved.

When Tang Yuanyuan hadn’t returned home, the couple gave a call and went over personally to pick her up.

Looking around Seabay Villa, the couple could only lament on the fact of poverty limiting one’s imagination. Only the Ye Group could achieve such an accomplishment, building a place as grand as Seabay Villa by the sea.

Previously, the Tang couple had never thought that they would one day be associated with the Ye Group. They were happy even with a business relationship between the Ye and the Tang Group. One could easily imagine President Tang’s elation when Ye Moxuan went to visit him.

“This huge household is certainly different from the rest,” President Tang whispered softly as he led his wife along.

“Of course. The decorations and displays here are all very valuable. What if our Yuanyuan offends them by accident? If that were to happen…” At this point, President Tang and his wife became a little fearful.

“She’ll be fine.”

President Tang waved his hands. “Our Yuanyuan is only a foodie. She just likes to eat a little more. Other than that, she is always courteous and polite. You’ve taught her well.”

President Tang was right. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tang felt a sense of relief.

After this, the couple went in to pick up Tang Yuanyuan, and Han Muzi came out personally to welcome them. She was dressed casually in a light gray knitted outfit, and her waist-length hair was twisted into a half-bun, making her seem all the more gentle.

President Tang’s wife stared at Han Muzi. She never knew Young Master Ye’s wife was so beautiful.

Noticing her stare, Han Muzi touched her face and asked cautiously, “I’m sorry, but I was in a rush when I came out. Is there something on my face?”

Startled, President Tang’s wife waved her hands quickly. “No. There’s nothing on your face. It’s just that you’re so beautiful, Mrs. Ye, and I got distracted for a moment.”

Han Muzi never thought that Mrs. Tang would get distracted by her looks. After all, it had been some time since someone complimented her. Immediately, the corner of her lips curled upward and her mood lifted.

“Mrs. Tang, you’re too kind. You look beautiful too.”

In the face of Han Muzi’s generosity, President Tang’s wife seemed reserved, probably because she was in the Ye Family’s house.

“How could I? I can’t compare with you, Mrs. Ye. Did Yuanyuan give you a lot of trouble? This child can’t help herself when it comes to food.”

Having said that, President Tang’s wife laughed embarrassedly.

At this moment, a soft voice floated over.

“Daddy. Mommy.”

Tang Yuanyuan rubbed her bleary eyes as she walked to her parents on chubby little legs.

Seeing her, Mrs. Tang knew immediately that Tang Yuanyuan had fallen asleep at President Ye’s house, which made her feel even more awkward. “Yuanyuan, my dear child. How could you fall asleep in someone else’s house?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1504

“It’s alright. Children being children, they’ll fall asleep anywhere once they’re sleepy,” Han Muzi chimed in. She couldn’t bear to see Mrs. Tang faulting Tang Yuanyuan just because she fell asleep. After all, Tang Yuanyuan was such a lovely girl that she reminded her of how Little Sprout would be when she grew up in future.

Little Bean trailed behind Tang Yuanyuan as they walked over together.

President Tang and Mrs. Tang were taken aback when they saw Little Bean. Truth be told, with Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi’s genes, it was unsurprising that their children would be good looking as well.

Little Bean was an exact replica of his father.

Mrs. Tang had been unconsciously staring at Little Bean for a while now. It wasn’t until Tang Yuanyuan tugged at her sleeves that she snapped back to reality.

“Mrs. Ye, your son looks so much like President Ye. He’s such a handsome boy; tall and slim too, unlike our Tang Yuanyuan. She still loves to eat even though she is already very chubby.”

“Don’t worry.” Han Muzi laughed. “It’s normal for children to love food. Once she grows up and starts caring about her appearance, she’ll know to watch her food intake.”

“You’re right,” Mrs. Tang agreed. “We’ve disturbed you long enough. It’s about time we got back home now. Mrs. Ye, thank you so much for today. Yuanyuan must have caused so much trouble for the both of you. We’ll take her back home now.”

Han Muzi blinked and smiled gently. “Oh, it’s nothing. They’re children after all, so it wasn’t any trouble for us. Moreover, she got along very well with our Little Bean. If she wants to stay, I can prepare a new room for her.”

What? The Tangs were shocked by her words. For a brief moment, they even thought they were hallucinating. They did not expect Han Muzi to be so friendly, certainly not to the extent of preparing a room for their daughter. Weren’t families like the Yes supposed to look down on people like the Tangs?

How could it be possible that…

“No, it’s okay. We’d hate to impose. Yuanyuan, quickly thank Mrs. Ye and Little Bean.”

Tang Yuanyuan looked at both Han Muzi and Little Bean, politely saying, “Thank you beautiful Mrs. Ye. Thank you Little Bean.”

Such a sweet-talker. Han Muzi thought that Tang Yuanyuan was such a pleasant little child.

“No problem. Remember to visit us more often.”

After a round of goodbyes, the Tang couple finally brought Tang Yuanyuan back home.

In the car, Tang Yuanyuan laid her head on her mom’s lap and told her about her day. The Tang couple listened attentively as she told them how Mrs. Ye had prepared glutinous rice balls for her, and how Little Bean took her out to buy chocolates and cotton candy. She also told them Little Bean brought her out to play some games and how he carried her on his back to the car when she fell asleep.

The couple was taken aback.

“Hubby, I thought Young Master Ye from the Ye Group was difficult to get along with. Everyone seems to be afraid of him. Why does this sound different from the rumors we’ve heard?”

“He is Young Master Ye after all. Have you not seen him today? A person of his status would surely marry a beautiful and generous wife. His children would also be raised well.”

“Is today real? Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”

“You’re not the only one. It felt unreal for me too when Young Master Ye came to visit me today.”

“Isn’t our Tang Yuanyuan lucky? Look at her, she only knows how to eat. What if she continues on like this even when she’s all grown up? What should we do?”

“She is just a child after all. Let her eat as much as she wants. It wouldn’t be a problem for us to take care of her forever even if she can’t find a partner in the future.”

The couple only had one daughter, and they spoilt her to the core.

Back at the villa, after the guests had left, Han Muzi asked Little Bean, “Are you happy with the playmate that daddy found for you?”

Little Bean was stunned. “Daddy found her?”

“Of course. When he heard that the Tang Group had a lovely daughter, he wanted to introduce the both of you. From the looks of it, I take it you were happy to spend time with her?”

Truth was, Han Muzi could tell that Little Bean was very fond of Tang Yuanyuan, and she wanted to take this opportunity to bring it up since both father and son often did not get along well with each other. She had hoped to ease the tension between them.

However, even before she could finish her sentence, Little Bean’s face turned dark with anger.

Noticing his expression, Han Muzi walked toward Little Bean and reached out to stroke his head. “Please don’t fight with your daddy so often. He really cares for you.”

Displeased, Little Bean pursed his lips. After a beat, he asked, “Mommy, is daddy more important than me?”

Han Muzi froze; she did not know how to answer Little Bean at all.

Little Bean pushed her hand away, and spun on his heel to leave.

Han Muzi had wanted to go after him, but she couldn’t catch up. It was at this moment that she realized her child had really grown up.

Little Bean was tall; coupled with his long legs, he could walk even faster. In a few years, she predicted that Little Bean would even be as tall as her.

After all, he inherited Ye Moxuan’s genes as well, so Han Muzi’s height could never compare to Little Bean’s.

Han Muzi sighed helplessly. It looked like she would need to look for an opportunity to talk with Little Bean tonight.

Little Bean was sitting by his window before going to bed. Although he was gazing out into the night, he was thinking about what happened during the day.

Indeed, he really liked Tang Yuanyuan. Who wouldn’t like such a cute and chubby little girl? Unfortunately, it was his daddy who introduced her. But what did daddy mean by this? Did he think I was too clingy to mommy? What shocked him more was that mommy actually agreed with daddy, and even defended him.

Did Han Muzi think Little Bean was too clingy and annoying? In the past, the mother and son duo depended on each other a lot. She was not like this at all.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Little Bean, are you still awake?”

Hearing his mommy’s voice, Little Bean remained silent.

“Can I come in? Mommy would like to have a chat with you.”

Han Muzi asked softly while she stood outside; she did not enter without Little Bean’s permission.

Since Little Bean gave no response at all, she quietly stood outside waiting for him.

A long while passed before she heard a muffled voice.

“Come in.”

With a smile, Han Muzi opened the door and walked in.

“You’re still awake?” Han Muzi closed the door gently. She had already taken a bath and changed into her pajamas. After entering the room, she sat on the bed and beckoned Little Bean over. “Come here.”

Sitting by the window, Little Bean looked at her and asked unhappily, “Why?”

“Come here. It’s been so long since mommy had a chat with you. Come have a chat with mommy today, please?”

Although Little Bean looked uncomfortable, he surrendered the very instant Han Muzi used a soft tone to coax him over. In the end, he shuffled over, unwilling to climb onto the bed.

Han Muzi grabbed his hand and pulled him over.

Little Bean sat awkwardly by her side.

“I want to apologize for today.”

Little Bean lifted his head swiftly. Mommy is here to apologize?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1505

“I’m sorry. It had always been just the two of us, so naturally you’d be more reliant on me compared to daddy. But I promise you, whatever happened today will not happen again. In the future, as long as there’s anything that is related to you, mommy and daddy will seek your permission first, okay?”

Little Bean did not expect Han Muzi to tell him this. In fact, he was just making a fuss. He wasn’t angry at all; he just felt a little jealous.

After all, he had been with his mom since young. However, after his dad came into the picture, he took mommy away from him. The time that he spent with his mom was already little to begin with, but now that there was another person in his mom’s life, there was even less time left for the both of them.

This gave Little Bean a feeling that his dad wanted to drive him away from his mom.

On top of this, Han Muzi even sided with his evil daddy!

This had caused Little Bean to feel even more jealous.

Noticing he had yet to say anything, Han Muzi pulled Little Bean into her arms.

“Didn’t you like to sleep on mommy’s lap? I’ll let you sleep on my lap tonight while I tell you a story and watch you fall asleep, okay?”

Indeed, Little Bean did like to sleep on his mom’s lap, back when he was two or three years old. Sometimes, he would even sleep on her stomach. But now that he had grown up, he had also grown taller, and his weight had increased significantly. If Little Bean were to sleep on his mom’s lap now, Han Muzi’s legs would grow sore in no time, and her legs would be numb.

At the thought of this, Little Bean shook his head. “It’s okay, mommy.”

“Why not? Are you worried about me and my legs?” Han Muzi gently pinched his nose. “You’re still so young. Have you really started to think of yourself as an adult?”

“Mommy, I’m much heavier than before.”

Han Muzi asked, “How much can you weigh? No matter how heavy you are, you’re still a child. Mommy will be fine. Just lie down.”

In the end, Little Bean put his head on Han Muzi’s lap while she stroked his head lightly. The atmosphere in the room had quieted down, and the mother and son stayed together in silence, content with each other’s company.

“Mommy, this isn’t the only thing you wanted to tell me tonight, right?”

Little Bean asked his mom some time later.

Han Muzi froze before sighing deeply. She knew her son was smart, but she didn’t expect him to be this sensitive toward other people too.

“You’re right, I do have something to tell you. It’s about what you said tonight.”

The light in Little Bean’s eyes dimmed. The next second, he heard Han Muzi telling him, “Although these may sound harsh to you, I know that you have your own thoughts and opinions. Even if I were to put it nicely, you would feel hurt too. Let’s have a serious conversation together, shall we? What do you think?”

“Mommy, if there’s anything you’d like to say, just say it.”

Little Bean rolled over, putting his back to Han Muzi. “Since I can’t disagree with you anyways.”

This child…

Looking at Little Bean, Han Muzi often had the feeling that she was like an aged mother while her son was all grown up.

She reached out to touch the back of his head. “Please turn around and listen to mommy.”

However, Little Bean did not turn around, and his voice was still muffled.

“I can hear you even if I lie this way too.”

By the looks of it, he won’t turn around at all, and Han Muzi did not force him to do so. After collecting her thoughts, she spoke, “About your question, the one where you asked whether daddy was more important than you…”

Upon hearing this, Little Bean tensed up. He was eager to hear her answer, but was also afraid that he wouldn’t hear what he wanted.

Han Muzi spoke quickly, not giving him time to react at all.

“All mommy can say is—yes.”

As soon as he heard this, the light in Little Bean’s eyes disappeared completely as he remained silent.

“I know you’re not happy about it, but I still want to make things clear to you. The reason your daddy is more important is because he is the person I will spend the rest of my life with, for the next ten, twenty, thirty… Maybe even fifty to sixty years. Until we grow old and die, the both of us will have to spend all of our time together. You, on the other hand…”

Suddenly, Little Bean sat up as he said anxiously, “Mommy, if you want, I can always stay by your side and accompany you.”

“What are you talking about?” Han Muzi cupped his cheeks and looked him firmly in the eye. “You’re still young. When you grow up, you’ll meet the love of your life, just like daddy and mommy. You’ll marry, have children and a family of your own. So tell me, is daddy more important, or you?

At this moment, Little Bean seemed to understand her better. However, he was still somewhat gloomy.

As he was still young, he hadn’t considered the things he’d do in the future. He only thought of staying by his mom’s side forever, but who knew what would happen when he was all grown up?

“Still, for mommy and daddy, you and Little Sprout are important to us. You are our children, our flesh and blood. Do you understand?”

Little Bean did not answer. However, the gloomy look on his face had disappeared. It seemed that Han Muzi’s words had gotten through him.

“I know you’re a smart child. That’s why I’m willing to tell you all of this.”

Suddenly, Little Bean reached out and hugged Han Muzi tightly. He shut his eyes and said deeply, “No matter what happens, I’ll always put you first.”

“Oh?” Han Muzi teased him. “Will I be more important than your wife, then?’

Han Muzi really wanted to see Little Bean’s reaction when he went back on his own words in the future. Perhaps she might have to wait for another 10 years or so for that day. What would happen if Little Bean had found his true love, but they disapproved of the match? Would he still put his own mom first?

No matter what the outcome was, Han Muzi wouldn’t really mind, as she wasn’t one to meddle in her children’s relationship. She just needed to raise them well so that they’d grow up healthy and have a proper moral compass.

As for when Little Bean reached adulthood, he could do whatever he wanted, so long as he upholds the moral values.

After all, only he could walk his own path.

In the end, Little Bean sent his mom back to her own room. The reason being he had already grown up and could sleep by himself; he would no longer sleep on his mom’s lap.

Afraid that he was still angry, Han Muzi was unwilling to leave his room, but Little Bean told her firmly, “I understand all that you’ve said. I think you’re right, mommy. Daddy should be the one accompanying you for the rest of your life. That’s why daddy is more important than me. But I also understand that Little Sprout and I are still very important to you and daddy.”

As soon as Han Muzi heard that, she felt that Little Bean had grown up a lot.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1506

Han Muzi was firm when she had the conversation with Little Bean just now.

Not long after returning to her room, she felt remorseful, wondering if her words were too much for Little Bean to bear. After all, Little Bean was still a child, no matter how mature he might look.

Han Muzi became preoccupied as she worried that Little Bean would overthink.

The more she thought about it, the messier her thoughts became. Ye Moxuan had just come out of the shower, and went and lay beside her. He then hugged Han Muzi from behind, burying his face into her neck.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

His voice was low. As he spoke, his breath landed on Han Muzi’s neck, leaving her with a warm and tingling sensation, as he playfully touched her and lifted her shirt.

It wasn’t long before Han Muzi pushed him away.

“Stop it. I’m not in the mood right now.”

Ye Moxuan was a little dazed by her actions. He wanted to cling to her again, but could sense that Han Muzi really wasn’t in the mood. Therefore, he calmly lay down beside her, and instead of making a move, he asked her nervously, “What’s wrong?”

Hearing his question, Han Muzi turned to give him a look.

Seeing his face, she suddenly seethed with anger and asked hotly. “Little Bean is your son, is he not?”

Ye Moxuan froze for a beat, then nodded his head. “Of course.”

“Then why do you always go against him? He is just a child. Little Bean has been with me ever since he was young. We depended on each other, even before you appeared. Now that you’re here, you keep wanting me all to yourself. What would he think?”

Ye Moxuan never expected her to get angry because of this. For a moment, he was at a loss for words, and could only look at her mutely.

“Just because I’m your woman, it doesn’t mean that you can push everything else away.”

“What’s the matter?” Ye Moxuan dare not answer her question, and just skirted around it.

“You even have to ask?” Han Muzi thought of the look on Little Bean’s face, and felt that she had wronged him. How cruel she had been, saying those harsh words to a child.

Even though those words were the truth, it was still too harsh for a child to bear.

She truly felt regretful; she wasn’t a good mom after all.

“The love you had for Little Bean was already little to begin with. You never spent time with him since he was young. When you appeared, not only did you not shower him with love, you even wanted to deprive him of his mother.”

Ye Moxuan had never thought about it. Now that Han Muzi had brought it up, it helped jog his memory. Indeed, he was absent for many years of their lives, and they did not go through much together as a family. Now when faced with his own son, he had forgotten how to make it up to him.

“We will spend our whole lives together, but what about Little Bean? He had been deprived of paternal love for so many years, so are you going to deprive him of maternal love too? Please don’t treat him this way. I know it is realistic, but he is still a child after all. Let’s protect him together until he’s all grown up, okay? Same goes for Little Sprout too. Once they’ve reached adulthood, we won’t interfere in their lives anymore.”

Han Muzi teared up. At the sight of her tears, Ye Moxuan felt distressed and quickly pulled her into his arms.

“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you and do whatever you say. From now on, I’ll spend all my time with the three of you.”

After their discussion, the couple decided to place both their children as the top priority. After all, they were their parents, and they had to be responsible for them.

Children did not have a choice. If a couple wanted to bring a child into the world, they must do their utmost to become great parents for the children.

Ye Moxuan had also decided that he didn’t want a third child after having Little Bean and Little Sprout. After Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi had raised them properly, they would no longer interfere in their children’s lives anymore.

By then, he would just stick to his wife every single day.

The next day, Han Muzi went to wake Little Bean up. However, she was greeted with an empty bedroom and he was nowhere to be found. It was only later that she got to know from her maid that Little Bean had already left for school.

This early? Han Muzi glanced at the time. He left for school an hour earlier compared to usual.

Could it be her words that made Little Bean upset?

At that thought, Han Muzi turned to look at Ye Moxuan worriedly.

Ye Moxuan knew what she was thinking, so he pursed his lips and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”

“Okay then. But please don’t be angry at Little Bean.”

“Don’t worry.”

After Ye Moxuan left, Han Muzi was still anxious. However, she could not follow along because Little Sprout was still sleeping, and therefore, she could only return to her room and look after Little Sprout.

On the other hand, Little Bean had left early for school.

Han Muzi had thought that he was angry, but in reality, he wasn’t. Little Bean understood where she was coming from.

Mommy and daddy are the ones who would spend their entire lives together. While Little Sprout and I are important to them, their relationship should still come first.

Before this, Little Bean had always been competing with his dad for his mom’s attention, which was really unnecessary. He was enlightened after last night’s conversation.

He had been wrong this whole time. Why would he want to compete with his dad for mom’s attention?

He was their child after all, so he could be loved by the both of them. His initial thoughts of his dad wanting to snatch his mom away from him was wrong. Now that he had figured it out, he could finally be loved by both his parents.

So why should he go against his dad again?

As for his actions this morning, Little Bean did it on purpose.

He knew that his mom would be worried over last night’s conversation, and that Little Sprout had a fixed sleeping schedule. On the other hand, his dad would be reluctant to let his mom go out so early, hence the only person that would come after him was none other than his dad.

And the person that came to find him today would surely act differently from the dad he knew yesterday.

Hence, Little Bean had to fake a scene. He grinned as he thought of this.

Daddy wouldn’t have thought that one day he would fall into the hands of his very own son, right?

Before Ye Moxuan arrived, Little Bean had already come up with a plan on how to cause trouble for his dad.

He did not enter his school. Instead, he squatted at the entrance, pretending to read a little book with his head lowered, while in reality, he was counting down the minutes until his dad arrived.

He didn’t squat for long. After calculating, he only had to squat for a few minutes before his dad arrived.

Sure enough, a pair of leather shoes appeared before him three minutes later.

He did show up.

Little Bean’s eyes flashed cunningly, but he did not look up.

The man’s voice came from overhead.

“You’re up early. Why are you squatting here and not in school yet?”

Little Bean lifted his head slowly. Instead of his usual expression, he put on a pitiful look.

Seeing that, Ye Moxuan’s chest tightened.

Even though Little Bean had previously gone against him, he was his flesh and blood after all. Looking at his expression now, Ye Moxuan felt bad inside.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1507

No matter how smart Little Bean was, he was just a child.

Besides, he used to be deprived of paternal love, so it was only natural to develop hatred for his dad.

At the thought, Ye Moxuan’s face softened as he said, “Stand up.”

However, Little Bean did not move. With a sigh, Ye Moxuan squatted in front of him. “Come one, I’ll carry you.”

His words were gentle, and successfully made its way into Little Bean’s heart.

Originally, Little Bean just wanted to cause some trouble and make his dad feel sorry for him. He certainly did not expect his dad to say something like this.

A few moments later, Little Bean could no longer hold it in and choked up.

he felt annoyed. How could he get all choked up from these few words? He was a man; it would be embarrassing if he cried.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head.

However, Ye Moxuan had already seen the look on his face.

Ye Moxuan had never expected that his words could make Little Bean cry. It tugged on his heartstrings.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and grabbed Little Bean’s arms, pulling him up together.

Little Bean had grown so tall that Han Muzi couldn’t carry him even if she wanted to. For Ye Moxuan though, it was still a fairly easy thing to do.

That was why when Little Bean was lifted into Ye Moxuan’s arms, his expression changed immediately.

“Bad daddy, evil daddy! Let me go! I don’t want you to carry me. Put me down now!”

All of these happened at the school entrance. Before long there would be people passing by on their way to school, so how could he live it down if someone were to see his dad carrying him?

Little Bean did not want his classmates to think that he still needed his daddy to carry him.

He kept on struggling, but was no match for Ye Moxuan’s strength. As he struggled furiously, Ye Moxuan simply patted his butt.

“Why are you making a fuss? I’m your father. Can’t you let your dad carry you for a while?”

Little Bean immediately stopped struggling after his dad patted his butt. His entire body tensed, and his face red.

“It’s… It’s embarrassing!”

“Embarrassing? What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Ye Moxuan continued. “How old are you? Just because you’ve grown a little taller, you’re embarrassed to be carried by your father?”

Little Bean stopped struggling. However, his face was still flushed red.

Looking at his irritated expression, Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and gave a deep sigh before putting him down. Then, he squatted in front of him and asked, “How about we talk like this? Is this okay?”

Little Bean remained silent.

“What happened before was my fault. In the past, I wasn’t there for you and your mom. Then, I tried to take your mom away from you. All of it is my fault, and now that I’m aware of my mistakes, will you forgive me?”

Ye Moxuan originally thought that it would be difficult for him to say these words. At one point, he even thought that he wouldn’t be able to speak them out loud.

But when he saw Little Bean’s red eyes, he finally realized what it was to be a father.

Little Bean and Little Sprout were both his and Han Muzi’s treasure; they were a gift from God.

‘You, Little Sprout, and mommy are daddy’s most precious treasure. No matter what happens, I will always put the three of you first. I’ve discussed it with mommy last night, and from now on we will always put both you and Little Sprout first, until you grow up.”

Little Bean blinked. “Really? You will not stop me from getting close with mommy anymore?”

“That’s right.” Hiding his pain, Ye Moxuan answered, “I won’t stop you anymore. You’re still young; you can rely on mommy if you want to. But of course, you can rely on me too. You can even follow me to work every day.”

“Really?” Little Bean blinked his eyes asked innocently. “Then can you arrange for me to have a position at the company?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Moxuan’s expression changed slightly.

“Position? You’re still young, so what can you do?”

Ye Moxuan did not agree to his request. “Besides, you still have to study. You won’t have the time to go to the company.”

“Evil daddy. So what you said was all a lie. I don’t want to rely on you, and I will not rely on mommy anymore. From now on, you can just let me sink or swim on my own.”

Even though Ye Moxuan knew his child was scheming, he softened after looking at Little Bean’s expression. All he could do was coax him, saying, “Alright, I’ll give you a position in the company, but you can’t act as you please.”

“You’re really mean daddy. If it were great-grandfather, he would’ve given me the entire company without second thoughts.”

“Your great-grandfather doesn’t have to take care of anyone, but I still have to earn money to take care of your mommy, Little Sprout and you. How can we be the same?”

Little Bean harrumphed. After their discussion, Ye Moxuan gave Little Bean a position and title in the company, but did not give him any actual power. He would also have to give Little Bean some pocket money, and only then did they reach an agreement.

Ever since that day, Little Bean did not see Tang Yuanyuan for one whole week. No matter how cute she was, if she wasn’t willing to visit him, he did not have the heart to look for her either.

It was until a week later that the Tang couple couldn’t handle their daughter’s pleas any longer. They reluctantly went over to their house, and explained that ever since Tang Yuanyuan returned home that day, she kept pestering them every day and insisted that she wanted to play with Little Bean.

Upon hearing, Han Muzi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Mrs. Tang, next time you can just let Tang Yuanyuan come over and play. Whenever you’re free, just bring her over. Besides, I also feel bored looking after Little Sprout alone at home day after day.”

In fact, Han Muzi really wanted to work. Since Little Sprout was already a year old, Han Muzi no longer had to take care of her 24/7. Besides, Little Sprout behaved really well too.

Little Sprout tended to sleep soundly, and would just lay there playing with her fingers or stare at the ceiling whenever she’s awake. She didn’t cause any trouble. Other than fussing when she needed a change of diapers, she was usually calm and quiet.

In Han Muzi’s words, even though Little Sprout was still a baby, it was great that she loved being clean.

But Ye Moxuan didn’t want Han Muzi to go back to work; he had hoped that she remained as a housewife.

However, Han Muzi didn’t have to do much as a housewife. There were already many servants working at Seabay Villa. They cleaned the house every day, leaving not a single speck of dust anywhere. Food was also prepared when it was time to eat.

That was why she felt bored at times. If Tang Yuanyuan could come over to play, it’d make everything livelier.

But because there was a huge gap between the Ye Family and the Tang family, Mrs. Tang felt embarrassed and uneasy, for she was afraid of giving off the impression that they were trying hard to please the Ye Family if she kept bringing her daughter over.

“I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Mrs. Ye. If Tang Yuanyuan comes over too much, it will disturb you. I myself have raised children too, so…”

Han Muzi understood Mrs. Tang’s underlying meaning. Even though she did not say it out loud, Han Muzi knew what she was thinking. With a faint smile, she said, “Actually, you don’t have to worry. The Ye family wouldn’t think much about it. Besides, children being children, Tang Yuanyuan just likes Little Bean.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1508

It’d be impossible if Mrs. Tang didn’t understand Han Muzi’s words.

Mrs. Tang gave a sigh of relief, yet still felt a little embarrassed. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to say these things. It’s just that this is always the case within this social circle. We’re aware that the Tang Group is no match for the Ye Group, so Mrs. Ye, please don’t take this personally.”

“Why would I?” Han Muzi held Tang Yuanyuan’s hand and pulled her into her arms. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Tang. I like Tang Yuanyuan very much, so much so that I won’t get any other ideas. Am I right, Yuanyuan?”

Tang Yuanyuan reached out her chubby little hands and hugged Han Muzi while she softly asked, “When will Little Bean come?”

“Oh? You’ve spent a day playing with Little Bean, and now you only have eyes for him? Do I not treat you well enough?” Han Muzi teased. Tang Yuanyuan looked at her innocently and said in a serious tone, “Mrs. Ye, you have treated me very well. You even cooked sweet glutinous rice balls for me.”

“Then why do you only look for Little Bean, and not me?”

Tang Yuanyuan stared at her with big round eyes, unable to answer for a moment. As she started to become anxious, her eyes turned red. Han Muzi only wanted to tease her, but did not expect to make her anxious, so she quickly explained, “It’s alright. I’m just joking. Don’t be nervous, okay? You said you wanted to find Little Bean? Little Bean has gone to school, so we’ll play with Little Sprout together first. Once Little Bean returns from school, you can play with him, okay?”

Tang Yuanyuan looked at her mom and nodded as she swallowed back her tears. “Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Ye.”

With that, she stood on her toes to give Han Muzi a peck on the cheeks.

”This child cries easily when she gets anxious. Look at how she was when you asked her that question just now; she wanted to cry because she couldn’t think of a suitable answer.”

“It’s fine. People tend to have a soft spot for girls like her.”

Mrs. Tang left after exchanging a few words, leaving Tang Yuanyuan behind. While Tang Yuanyuan waited for Little Bean to get off from school, she wouldy play with Little Sprout.

As Little Sprout woke up, Tang Yuanyuan just stood there and stared at her while she stared back at Tang Yuanyuan; both of them silently stared at each other.

After a while, Tang Yuanyuan asked, “Mrs. Ye, what is this little girl’s name?”

“Her name is Ye Yaya.”

Ye Yaya?

Tang Yuanyuan then gave Little Sprout a bright smile, the two deep dimples becoming visible on her cheeks. “Nice to meet you, Ye Yaya. My name is Yuanyuan, Tang Yuanyuan.”

Ye Yaya lay there as she stared at Tang Yuanyuan innocently. Little did she know, Tang Yuanyuan would become entangled with her brother in the future, and that she too would have a deep connection to her.

When it was time for Tang Yuanyuan to leave, Little Bean had yet to return home. She started to worry a little, and the only thing Han Muzi could do was to comfort her.

“Please be patient, Little Bean will return soon. Once he returns, I’ll ask him where has he been all day; coming back so late.”

Upon hearing, Tang Yuanyuan was shocked and immediately spoke on Little Bean’s behalf.

“Mrs. Ye, please don’t scold Little Bean. Maybe he’s just busy with something. It’s okay, I can wait a little longer.”

Afraid that she would cause trouble for Little Bean, Tang Yuanyuan immediately collected her thoughts while she sat there and waited, looking all cute and adorable.

When Little Bean returned home, it was already near night time. He was prepared to greet his mom before entering his room to call it a day, even wanting to skip dinner.

But when he opened the door, he saw Tang Yuanyuan sitting on a chair holding a heart-shaped pillow. With her head leaning against the door, her mouth was slightly open and she was fast asleep.

Little Bean observed her for a while, and noticed that she was breathing through her mouth.

Silly girl. Aren’t people supposed to breathe through their nose? Why is she using her mouth to breathe? If this goes on, it would cause her upper lip to become shorter, and her lip muscles to loosen. Not only that, it would damage other facial tissue too.

It had been so many days since Little Bean last saw her, and he thought she wouldn’t visit him anymore. Who knew he would get to see her today?

He walked toward Tang Yuanyuan, waving his hands in front of her face, but she was in a deep sleep, and did not notice him at all.

Little Bean did not want to wake her. However, by the looks of her awkward neck position and sleeping posture, she would definitely feel discomfort once she woke up. It left him no choice but to wake her up.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuanyuan had been dreaming of chocolates. In her dream, the chocolates tasted sweet and had a hint of bitterness; once eaten, even the bitterness tasted pleasant too. They were the ones Little Bean had bought for her. Although she had recently finished the cotton candies, she couldn’t bring herself to eat those chocolates.

That was why she was dreaming about eating those chocolates.

Her dream was interrupted by Little Bean. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was his face. Upon gaining consciousness, she said, “Little Bean, the chocolates were delicious.”

Hearing this, Little Bean froze, and it took him some time to react.

Could this mean that this silly girl came to him because she wanted him to take her to buy chocolates again?

Tang Yuanyuan shut her eyes again.

“Wake up, Yuanyuan.” Little Bean gently patted her cheeks to wake her up. “You can’t sleep here. If you want to, you can sleep inside. Also, don’t use your mouth to breathe the next time you sleep, or else you’ll become ugly.”

Little Bean pulled Tang Yuanyuan up while he said those things to her. As soon as she got up, she drowsily followed him inside, asking, “Brother, you’re back? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

She waited? She came here early to wait for me?

Little Bean tilted his head and looked at her. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Tang Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes. “Not very long. Brother, did you have fun at school? Oh right, what was the problem you mentioned just now about my sleep?”

Little Bean squatted in front of her and repeated what he said earlier.

“When you sleep, don’t breathe through your mouth. We should breathe through our nose.”

Hearing this, Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head. Feeling a little sad, she said, “But I’ve already gotten used to breathing through my mouth.”

“It’s not good to breathe through your mouth. Try your best not to open your mouth when you sleep. You may not be used to it at first, but if you slowly correct it, you’ll be able to get over your habit in no time.”

Tang Yuanyuan’s mom had taught her to breathe through her nose, but Tang Yuanyuan preferred to breathe through her mouth because it felt more comfortable. Now that she was used to it, it would be difficult for her to change her bad habit.

At this moment, Little Bean suddenly opened his mouth and added, “Do you want to become ugly when you grow up?”

Upon hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan shook her head frantically. “No.”

“Good. If you continue to breathe through your mouth for a long time, you won’t grow up to be as beautiful as you should.”

“Oh, then I must correct myself. I don’t want you to avoid me for being ugly. I still want to play with you.”

“I won’t avoid you, but you have to change that bad habit of yours.”

“Okay, I will.”

“Anyway, what would you like to eat today?”

Tang Yuanyuan wondered if she could eat. It was never her intention to visit them just so she could eat. In fact, it was because she thought that Little Bean was nice to her that she wanted to play with him.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1509

She pursed her lips and did not say a word.

“What’s wrong?” Little Bean assumed that she was unhappy when she did not speak for a long time and asked, “Are you upset because I teased you?”

“No.” Tang Yuanyuan’s little head shook like a rattle. She put her fingers together and said in a small voice, “Actually, I came here today to see you and not to eat.”

He understood what she meant by that. “I know. I wanted to treat you today. You didn’t come here because you wanted to eat. Is that better?”

She liked nice food so much that she was salivating even at that moment. She lifted her head with her flushed cheeks and asked, “Then, can I have ice cream today?”

“Of course you can.”

“Thanks, Yishu.” After that, Little Bean brought Tang Yuanyuan to eat some ice cream and Mrs. Tang came to take Tang Yuanyuan home later that night.

The next day, Tang Yuanyuan insisted she wanted to go over again. She almost became part of the Han Family in the following days. Every day that she arrived, she seemed incredibly familiar with them. Even Ye Moxuan grew fond of her. The reason for that was that she always clung to Little Bean and Little Bean had no choice but to attend to her—making things a lot easier for Ye Moxuan.

Ye Moxuan then found some time to come clean to Han Muzi. I know we had this discussion already but I’m still worried that Muzi might overthink. “I was the one who brought her here, but the both of them seemed to have gotten along on their own. It had nothing to do with me.”

Han Muzi knew what he was getting at. “I didn’t say there was a problem with that. Why are you in such a hurry to confess?”

“I don’t want you to get mad later.”

When he thought of that night she got mad, it really frightened him. The both of them had gone through a lot and it was not easy to have these peaceful days now. He hoped that they would never get into a fight. But, even if they did, he always compromised and let her win.

“I won’t get mad. Even if I did, it would only be in the moment. Besides, it’s nice to see Little Bean like this. When I asked him the other day, he said that Little Chubbs is really cute and that he would look after her like his own sister.”

…

Since Yan gave birth, Han Qing kept going back and forth between their home and his company. More often than not, he found himself sleep deprived. Yan felt sorry for him, but Han Qing did not know how to go easy on himself and ended up being worn out.

At the meeting today, his face looked haggard. Upon seeing him, Su Jiu asked, “President Han, you don’t look well. Should we end the meeting and let you rest?”

He shook his head. “No.”

The others also noticed that he did not look well and started to ask questions out of concern.

“President Han, are you sure you don’t want to end the meeting? We can have meetings any time, so you should look after yourself first.”

“Yes, President Han. You don’t look well. Why don’t you go to the hospital now? We’ll take care of things here. Once we get the results, we will report back to you.”

Everyone looked at him with worried expressions. Han Qing sighed and put a hand over his mouth. “I’m fine. Let’s get on with the meeting.” When they continued to stare at him, he went on, “I know my own body best. Let’s proceed.”

After the meeting ended, Han Qing went back to his office and rested on the sofa with his eyes closed for a while. He rested for around an hour, then got up and started working again. However, after working for a bit, he started seeing double. It was then that he realized the gravity of the situation and figured he should get off work early that day and make a trip to the hospital. If I keep going like this, I might stop functioning at some point. Not only that, I would worry Yan.

At the thought of that, he started packing up. Halfway through, Su Jiu came in and reminded him, “How are you feeling, President Han? Are you sure you don’t want to rest for a bit?”

“I’m going to get off work early today. We’ll go over any issues tomorrow.”

Since Su Jiu had been so worried, she let out a sigh of relief when he said that. Had he not, she was ready to give Yan a call. If he still does not budge, perhaps Yan’s presence would make him budge. But there was no need for that now. “I really think you should still go to the hospital, President Han.”

“I will.”

“Why don’t I drive you there?”

“This contract isn’t settled yet; you should work on it. I’ll manage.”

“Okay then.” She had no choice but to retrieve the contract from him and urge, “You must be careful, President Han. If you don’t feel well, just give me a call and stop driving.”

“Thank you.”

After he left, Su Jiu went to deal with the contract.

…

At this moment, Yan had arrived at the supermarket. Luo Huimei was looking after the two children at home, so Yan came to the supermarket to buy the children’s daily necessities—diapers, milk formula, milk bottles, and so on. As she was picking up items from the aisle, a jar of sugar was accidentally knocked over by a cart not too far away from her. The jar made a loud noise on its way down, which startled her.

But the shock was so big to her that her heart kept pounding and her eyelids flickered furiously. She reached up instinctively to touch her eyelids. At the same time, her heart started to race. What is this? Why am I so startled?

She took a deep breath then looked up and brought down the item she was looking at. Putting it in her cart, she started to feel a throbbing pain in her heart. The pain overwhelmed her so much that she had to kneel down on the ground. Her thoughts immediately went to Han Qing and she panicked.

Just then, her phone rang. Her heart was in so much pain that it took her a while to collect herself again and pull out her phone. When she saw Han Qing’s name on the screen, the anxiety she felt did not fade but only got more intense. As soon as she picked up, the voice on the other end belonged to an unfamiliar woman. “Hello. May I know if you are the wife of the owner of this number?”

Yan felt a vague premonition and only found her voice again after some time. “Yes, that is me. May I know who this is?”

“Your husband drove his car into a railing and passed out. He was just taken away by the doctor but his phone was left here. I just picked it up and called you.”

Drove into a railing? The color in Yan’s face drained in an instant. “Excuse me, but is that… true?”

“Madam, I’m not joking with you. Your husband’s car is still here now.”

“Which hospital?” Yan’s tone immediately rose and shocked the other party. She suppressed her panic and explained, “I’m sorry. My emotions are a bit out of control. Can you please tell me which hospital he was sent to?”

“According to the logo, it must be the closest one here. It’s at the junction of the East Campus.”

“Thank you. I got it. I’ll head over there right now.” After putting her phone away, Yan started to run in a hurry but she ended up crashing into someone on her way out.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1510

Yan stumbled and slipped on the icy cold ground. Meanwhile, the person she ran into still stood firm and went to grab her arm when she stood back up. “It’s you?”

She turned her head up at the familiar voice and was astounded to see who it was. The person she ran into was Xiao Su. After seeing her pale face and watching her fall, he grabbed onto Yan but did not expect to see that it was really her.

On the other hand, Yan could not think of anything when she saw him. She only thought of Han Qing’s accident and how she had to go to him right away. In her absentminded state, she only took one look at Xiao Su before swinging her hand free then headed outside again. But after taking a couple of steps, there was a sharp pain in her ankle that almost made her fall to her knees if Xiao Su had not been there in time to catch her. “What’s wrong? What’s the emergency?”

Small beads of sweat started to form on her forehead from the pain. It hurt so much that she was unable to walk either. I must have sprained it when I fell earlier. But, I still need to go to Han Qing. I don’t even know how he is right now. I have to go. A thought occurred to her and she gripped Xiao Su’s hands. “I beg you. Please take me to the hospital near East Campus. The hospital near East Campus!”

The hospital near East Campus? His eyebrows slowly furrowed together. “What happened?” What put her in such a panic?

When he did not take her there right away and questioned her instead, she started to leave on her own again. He gave in and said, “I’ll take you there. Just give me a minute.” He was out shopping with Jiang Xiaobai and had waited for her outside while she was inside trying on clothes. Therefore, he had to inform her before leaving.

As soon as he turned around, however, Yan took off while limping. The injury to her ankle was evidently very painful but it looked like she did not feel anything as she kept running forward. Xiao Su had no choice but to go up to her to hold her back. But at that moment, she was unable to hear anything he was saying. Her only thought was on getting to the hospital near East Campus. Alas, he could not win against her so he just brought her to the hospital. Once I send Yan to the hospital, I’ll call Xiaobai to let her know. Xiaobai might get angry later when she comes out and doesn’t see me, but she should understand since it’s an urgent situation. Thus, he began to feel more at ease.

On the drive to the hospital at East Campus, Yan remained silent and simply sat there with a blank look in her eyes, looking very much like a puppet. Seeing her like that, he guessed something serious must have happened and did not dare to ask further.

Jiang Xiaobai went shopping for maternity clothes. She had eaten a lot lately and grown fatter. On top of that, her stomach was also getting bigger. She was no longer able to fit into the maternity clothes she had prepared earlier on. When she was out today, she saw a dress that she liked at a maternity clothing store and decided to try it on. She fiddled for quite a while in the changing room, then was finally able to put the dress on properly. When she looked in the mirror, she felt like she was as fat as a pig now. When I go out later, I have to let Xiao Su know how fat I’ve gotten and how I lost my shape just to give birth to this baby. He has to treat me super well from now on and not let me suffer one bit!

Suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her stomach. It seemed like the baby was kicking her again, so she sat down for a while before going out. However, when she came out, she did not see a trace of Xiao Su anywhere. “Where is he?” She looked around her with the dress in her hand. The shop assistant walked over to her with a smile. “Miss, this dress looks good on you.”

Jiang Xiaobai was not thinking about the dress anymore. She asked, “Excuse me. Where did my husband go?”

The shop assistant was taken aback and looked slightly hesitant. “A lady knocked your husband down at the entrance earlier. After that, it seemed like the both of them left together.”

“Left?” She frowned when she heard that a lady knocked Xiao Su down. “Out of nowhere? How did she knock him down? And why did they leave together?” She could not make sense of any of it.

“I’m not too sure. I happened to be serving other customers, so I didn’t go up close and only got the gist of it. But I’m guessing your husband knew that lady.”

“How do you know?”

“I saw him helping her up.”

A woman Xiao Su knows?

“Oh, but that lady did injure her leg.”

At that, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to put the pieces together and speculated, “Could it be that the lady bumped into my husband and fell, which caused her to injure her leg? So, perhaps my husband helped her up and brought her to a hospital?”

The shop assistant seemed confused for a second then quickly nodded. “You’re so clever, Miss. After hearing you say that, I think that’s what must have happened.”

Jiang Xiaobai was a bit furious. “That b*stard. He should have at least told me if he was going to send someone to the hospital. How can he just disappear like that?” Typical straight men! She fumed.

When she went to get her phone to call Xiao Su, she realized that his phone was with her too. Because she had been using his phone to pay bills and shop, she conveniently put his phone in her bag earlier. That’s just great. Now I can’t get in touch with him and I don’t even know where to find him. At the thought of this, she became glum.

The shop assistant stared at her. “Miss, do you want that dress you’re holding?”

Without Xiao Su around, Jiang Xiaobai did not feel like trying on any more clothes. “Yes. But I can’t be bothered to change so I’ll just buy this one.”

After paying, she carried the item and went out. She waited at the entrance for almost half an hour but Xiao Su still did not return. With that big belly of hers, she could not wait any longer and headed home first. When she arrived home, he was not there either. She just lay on the sofa and watched television while munching on some food.

At some point, Liang Yahe came over to see her. When she realized that Xiao Su was not home, she scolded him angrily. Jiang Xiaobai smiled and told her about the day’s events. After listening to everything, Liang Yahe scolded even more fiercely. “You’re so far along in your pregnancy that you could deliver any day now. Yet, he just left you there to help a stranger? He’s going to get it from me later when he gets back.”

But Jiang Xiaobai did not see a problem with it. If that lady really sprained her ankle, then she had to go see a doctor immediately. Since Jiang Xiaobai was in the changing room for quite some time, Xiao Su, as the typical straight male that he was, probably thought of sending that lady to the hospital first then giving Jiang Xiaobai a call later.

“Mom, don’t scold him anymore. I know his personality. He must have wanted to call me as soon as he was at the hospital, but he just forgot that he did not have his phone with him.”

“I’m so angry. How did I give birth to such an ignorant son? Xiaobai, don’t you try to defend him. When this little brat comes home later, I’ll give him an earful.”
