Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1541

When Jiang Xiaobai woke up again, she saw the account booklet left on the table. Sighing, she kept it away.

Considering her parents’ attitudes, they would never take back whatever was given to her.

Thinking of how Liang Yahe and Xiao Su had done so much for her in the past, she decided to call Xiao Su and meet him for a discussion.

They decided to meet at the house they had lived in before. Jiang Xiaobai had asked her mother to take care of her son before going over alone.

Seeing her arrival, Xiao Su heated a glass of milk for her but didn’t say a word.

“Do you know why I’m here?”

Jiang Xiaobai had just spoken when Xiao Su replied, “Drink the milk while it’s still warm. Don’t skip breakfast every morning, as it’s not good for your health.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai’s fingers paused slightly and did not touch the glass of milk for a long time. The silence in the living room was deafening. Seeing that she hadn’t touched the glass of milk, Xiao Su took it and passed it to her.

“Finish it before you start talking. Whatever it is, I’ll agree to it.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s heart trembled slightly, but she did not take the glass of milk from his hands. Her lips slightly moved as she lifted her head to look at Xiao Su.

“Do you know why I’m here?”

“I do.”

“Then why do you still say that you’ll agree to whatever I say?”

“Yeah.” Xiao Su nodded. “If it’s you, I’ll agree to anything.”

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai was tongue-tied. She slowly reached over and took the glass of milk from him. The temperature of the milk was exactly right, and the warmth spread from her palm into her heart.

She held the glass of milk in her hands and didn’t say a word.

After a long while, she asked, “Have you felt regret for the past six months?”

Xiao Su laughed bitterly and replied, “What good does it do anyway? Will you come back to me even if I regret it?”

He lifted his eyes and gazed deeply into hers. “Even if I’m in so much grief that I feel like I’m better off dead, you won’t come back to me ever again. Some things have already happened, and I’ve done many things wrong. But I don’t even know how to make up for them, and you won’t even give me a chance to make it up to you.”

Xiao Su laughed bitterly. His gaze dimmed as he lowered his eyes and said, “If… If I have a chance, I’m willing to make it up to you for the rest of my life.”

The tremors in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart grew stronger. She bit her lower lip forcefully, then she asked after a long pause, “Do you finally admit that you were in the wrong?”

“It’s not so much wrong as I shouldn’t have done it in the first place.” Xiao Su pressed his lips tightly together. “I didn’t think it through at that time, and I wasn’t a responsible man. I shouldn’t have gotten together with you before I’ve dealt with the residual feelings in my heart, and I shouldn’t still have feelings for another person when I’ve already married you.”

The phrase ‘have feelings for another person’ stabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s heart. Her face turned a few shades paler, and she said, “Don’t say another word.”

“But Xiaobai!” Xiao Su suddenly raised his head and stared at her earnestly. His hands held her shoulders tightly as he continued, “It was just that one time. After that incident, all my heart is for you and you only. There’s no other person in it.”

“What did you say?” Jiang Xiaobai was stunned as she stared at him.

“I know that you might not believe me, but I can swear to God that I’m speaking the truth right now. Perhaps I still had some feelings for her back then. But after that, my heart has become full because of you, and it can no longer accept another person in it.”

As Xiao Su said those words, his expression was earnest, and his gaze was clear. He looked so sincere that he would probably even allow her to cut him open and check his heart for the truth if she had wanted to.

All this while, Jiang Xiaobai was concerned about whether he loved her or not.

Now that he was upfront to her about it, she felt that something had collided against her heart, and it was then held tightly by a pair of large palms, refusing to free her.

She bit her lower lip and glared at him in frustration.

“Are you lying to me to make me stay? You’re a liar, for if you don’t have anyone else in your heart, why did you abandon me then? You’re a liar, for what you’ve said is nothing but lies!”

“If I still have her in my heart, I would be feeling really guilty. How would I even send her to the hospital straight away just like that? Xiaobai, it’s not that you don’t trust me. The truth is that you don’t trust yourself.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was startled.

“You don’t trust yourself to be able to hold my heart well, so you kept feeling insecure and paranoid about everything, right?”

Unfortunately, this was the truth. Jiang Xiaobai’s thoughts were all guessed accurately by Xiao Su. She still held a grudge about that first time and was extremely insecure since then. After the second time, she broke down completely!

Even the glass of milk was trembling in her hands now. She pushed him aside and put the glass on the table so that it wouldn’t fall from her nervous fingers.

“Don’t say another word. Even if you’re correct about everything, I don’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore. I’ve made up my mind, so I won’t…”

“Please give me another chance?” Xiao Su suddenly came up to her and hugged her waist, then leaned near her ear and whispered, “It took us a lot of effort to be together. Let’s not separate so easily, okay?”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say a word, but her eyelashes trembled lightly.

“The kid is still so young. Can you bear it? If he only has his mother and not his father, will his life be complete? Now that my heart is all yours, can you still not accept this new me?”

“Speak no more.”

“Do you remember when you told me that the fortune-teller said that we only have separation and death between us? Xiaobai, I was so touched then because you didn’t hide it from me. And I also decided then that we should be together for the rest of our lives. So let’s not separate from each other so easily, okay?”

Xiao Su’s tone became much gentler and lower. Jiang Xiaobai felt like she was stepping on clouds; everything felt so unreal.

Is his heart all mine? Is that even possible? He likes Yan so much. Can he give her up so easily?

Is it even possible?

“Xiaobai, please give me one more chance. Xiaobai…”

In the end, all Jiang Xiaobai could hear was Xiao Su’s longing voice calling her name.

She stared at the man in front of her and unexpectedly asked, “If I give you another chance, can you guarantee to become better?”

“I’ll guarantee that. I promise that I’ll love you with all my life. Just give me six months, okay? If you’re still dissatisfied after six months, and if you still want to leave me, I won’t stop you from doing so, alright?”

Six months?

“Do you know how much I’ve suffered and missed you for the past six months? I dared not look for you as I was afraid that you’d hate me even more. So I could only tip your writing. Did you see it?”

Tip?

Speaking of that, Jiang Xiaobai did notice a reader of hers who had tipped her and left her comments every day. There wasn’t a single day that went by without that reader tipping and commenting on her website.

She did notice the user, but she hadn’t thought much about it then. Perhaps she was always thinking of something else. But who knew that the user was actually Xiao Su?

So, did this mean that he wasn’t as unmoved and detached as she had thought for the past six months?

Knowing that Xiao Su had paid attention to her all this time, Jiang Xiaobai’s heart softened.

Therefore, she finally agreed to him that she would try for half a year more.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1542

Jiang Xiaobai was in a daze as if she were hypnotized. When she came back to her senses, their marriage certificate was kept away by Xiao Su.

“For the next six months, I’ll keep the marriage certificate. After that, I’ll give it back to you. If you still don’t want to be with me anymore by then, I’ll stay far away from you.”

It’s just half a year. After all, she had gone through the past six months, so it wasn’t that big of a deal to give him six more months of time.

Actually, Jiang Xiaobai’s heart had truly softened. Perhaps it was because she finally knew that he had paid attention to her for the past six months, which was why her heart had softened so quickly.

But she didn’t regret her decision either.

“Now, let me accompany you to bring our son back home.”

Jiang Xiaobai had left the house alone in the morning but came back with Xiao Su. Du Xiaoyu thought that they were done discussing and didn’t say much to them. She only told them, “The baby has just fallen asleep in the room.”

“Mom, let him sleep for a while longer. We’ll not disturb him.”

Why is he still addressing me as Mom?

Du Xiaoyu glanced at Jiang Xiaobai in confusion, so the latter pressed her lips together, her expression rather unnatural. In the end, she said, “Xiao Su and I didn’t get a divorce.”

“Yeah?” Du Xiaoyu had heard that they did get a divorce. But after a slight pause, she realized that Jiang Xiaobai had said that they didn’t get a divorce. “What happened?” she asked.

“It’s just what it is. I suddenly don’t feel like getting a divorce, so I didn’t ask for one.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to elaborate on what had happened. She was in a daze the whole time and only realized what she had done after the fact.

Du Xiaoyu was stunned for a while. After some time, she finally laughed and said, “Oh, that’s good then. Isn’t it good? It’s not really a big issue anyway. Since you’re done kicking up a fuss, you should be good to each other in the future.”

Xiao Su’s smile was so bright that it could literally light up the entire room. “I understand, Mom. I will definitely be good to her.”

After that, Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Su stayed back for lunch and waited for the baby to wake up before going back home.

Although they did not file for a divorce, they had kicked up such a huge fuss for a long time, so they were rather unnatural toward each other. But Xiao Su was especially enthusiastic and treated Jiang Xiaobai really well. After she got out of the car, he carried the baby for her and even held her bag for her.

For the next few days, Xiao Su was extremely meticulous and cared for Jiang Xiaobai tenderly, as if she was a second kid in the house. Every time Jiang Xiaobai woke up, she would see a glass of warm water by her bed. When she went into the bathroom, her toothbrush and toothpaste lay in front of her on the counter. Even the piping hot breakfast was already prepared and ready for her to tuck in when she entered the dining room. Xiao Su was like a robot that got everything ready for her well on time.

Although Xiao Su was good to her before, he was never like this. After enjoying life like an invalid for a few days, Jiang Xiaobai finally said, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. Even if you want to make it up to me, you don’t have to be so meticulous.”

While details were important in any relationship, it was also important to maintain them. If he did all this now, how long would he be able to maintain doing them every day?

Xiao Su knew what she was concerned about. “You don’t have to think on behalf of me. This is what I should do to make up for you. Since I’ve said that I need to make it up to you, I will definitely do so. I’ll do all these things for six months. If you don’t change your mind after that, I’ll do these things forever.”

His tone was so determined that Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know what else to say and could only sigh helplessly.

“Then do whatever you want to do, I guess. As long as you’re not tired about it.”

“Tired?” Xiao Su laughed lightly. “I desire to do it all for you.”

He no longer wanted to repeat those days without her presence in his life. He hoped that he could see her lying beside him every day when he opened his eyes in the morning, and he hoped that he could see her petite figure sitting on the couch every evening when he came home from work.

Jiang Xiaobai lay down and thought about what Xiao Su had said to her.

Do these things forever?

How long is forever? It sounds really, really long. Jiang Xiaobai closed her eyes. Can we really stick through thick and thin until forever arrives?

For the past six months, it wasn’t just Xiao Su who was tormented to hell and back. Yan had also suffered as well.

She had realized that it was she who had caused the rift between Xiao Su and Jiang Xiaobai. She had wanted to do something about it, but she was worried that her presence would cause Jiang Xiaobai to become even more upset about the matter.

So in the end, she didn’t do anything at all. But she was still depressed over this matter.

Homewreckers will all go to hell when they die.

Yan remembered this very well. So, if Xiao Su and Jiang Xiaobai were no longer together, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Yan started to hate herself again. Why did I bump into him at the supermarket? Although she was grateful that Xiao Su had sent her to the hospital, she kept feeling that if she hadn’t met him, things wouldn’t turn out this way. If she hadn’t been so clumsy and fell down, she wouldn’t have needed Xiao Su to send her to the hospital, and there wouldn’t be a misunderstanding like now.

Yan had heard that Jiang Xiaobai had returned, but she dared not contact her.

Initially, they had a pretty good relationship. But Yan hadn’t dared to look for her for the past six months, and Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t contacted her either. Suddenly, they had ceased contact just like that.

Han Qing saw that she was down in the dumps, so he decided to talk some sense into her.

“What’s happened has already happened. There’s no point for you to be depressed about it. Why not think about how to help them?”

“Help?” Yan smiled bitterly. “Considering my identity to them, what can I do?”

“Your identity is rather inconvenient, I suppose. You can’t do anything that could be of help now. So there’s that. Actually, this matter isn’t really related to you.”

Han Qing knew Xiao Su, and they were both men. So he knew what Xiao Su was thinking about when he rushed into the fire to save another woman when he already had Jiang Xiaobai.

Unfortunately, if Xiao Su still loved Jiang Xiaobai, he would have to make it up to her for the rest of his life.

“How is it not related to me? If I didn’t fall down, they wouldn’t become like this.”

“Silly girl.” Han Qing reached out to pat her head. “There are many things that are fated to occur. This is just God’s way of testing their relationship, otherwise why would you coincidentally bump into him at that very moment? Even if you both left at the same time, it’s still not certain that you two would reach the same supermarket at the same time. Coincidences are actually very rare in this world, and the possibilities are slim. But however slim the possibility was, you still bumped into him coincidentally. What does this mean?”

Han Qing reached out to pull Yan into his embrace and continued, “Don’t think about it anymore. Let him handle what he has to handle. It’s what he owes her.”

Yan didn’t really understand what Han Qing had said. She raised her head to ask something, but Han Qing held her head down. “There, you’ve worried enough for the past six months. Don’t worry about it anymore. If you have the time to think about things, why not use the time to accompany Yangchen and Zixi?”

“They play well together. Why would they need me to accompany them?”

“Even then, don’t they still need your company? If they don’t, then keep me company instead.”

Han Qing brushed her long hair with his fingers as he said in a low voice, “I won’t go to the company today. You stay by my side and keep me company, otherwise you keep having weird thoughts every day.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1543

Han Qing’s words had caused Yan’s face to turn red. She forgot about the other matters and kept pushing him away.

“Don’t be so frivolous. I’m talking about something very serious.”

“Frivolous?” Han Qing’s eyes darkened slightly as his tone became hoarser. “Which part of it was frivolous? Is it considered frivolous for me to not go to the company and accompany you for the day? Or… you’re the one who is having frivolous thoughts?”

“Don’t say another word!” said Yan.

She pushed Han Qing away, but her hand was suddenly grasped by his palm. He held her hand and pulled her into his arms, then put her arms around his slim waist. Lowering his head toward her, he said, “I’m just saying… How long have you left me out in the cold? At first, it was because of the kids. Then? How can you let other people’s matters affect our relationship? Even if his marriage is broken, that’s his problem. It has nothing to do with you.”

Yan pouted her lips and stared at him. “Why are you so cold toward them? He’s our friend after all.”

“Friend?” Han Qing sighed helplessly. “You’re friends with him, but I was never friends with him.”

Since he used to like Yan, they were probably considered love rivals rather than friends.

Han Qing had a cold temperament in the first place, so naturally, he wouldn’t be warm toward Xiao Su. He was even distant toward his own brother-in-law Ye Moxuan. This was probably due to his upbringing since he had lost a lot when he was young and had largely raised himself.

When one had to shoulder a lot of burdens, one’s temperament would be different.

Thinking of this, Yan felt rather sorry for him. So she reached out to hug him tightly.

“Don’t be like this. You have to try to accept others. Xiao Su does not have any enmity toward you, and it’s always good to make friends.”

Keeping Yan by his side was already a surprise to Han Qing himself. He hadn’t even thought that he would do so, let alone keeping other friends.

But it was true that after being with Yan, his heart had opened up slightly. Before this, he wasn’t used to people being close to him. But now, a girl was hugging him to sleep every night. Sometimes, when she kicked off her blanket in her sleep, he would get up to put it back over her for fear of her catching a cold.

Most importantly, there were those two kids as well. Han Qing finally had a few more blood relatives in this world.

Yan had brought with her the kids, her parents, and herself.

Luo Huimei and Mr. Zhou also became somewhat of Han Qing’s parents as well. They would remind Han Qing to take care of his health every now and then, and their concern toward him felt good to him.

All this while, he was the oldest in the family, and thus he was the one full of concern for his sister, never the other way round.

Therefore, Yan’s parents’ concern felt warm and fulfilling to him.

“Actually, you alone are enough,” said Han Qing.

“It’s not enough. You can’t just have me in your life.” Yan shook her head and spoke earnestly to him. “You need other people too. After all, I can’t be by your side all the time.”

Hearing this, Han Qing frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Life and death are unpredictable. Accidents may occur at any time, and I cannot guarantee that I can live a safe and long life. Perhaps one day I’ll…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Han Qing had covered her mouth. The remaining words stuck in Yan’s throat, and she had no choice but to swallow them.

She stared at Han Qing with her big eyes.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Han Qing knitted his brows as his frown deepened. “You’re not allowed to say this kind of nonsense from now on.”

He had sent many close relatives away. If even the only woman he loved left him too, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Yan saw that he had believed what she said and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Why are you so panicked? I’m not serious about it. In any case, it’s a fact, and I’m just stating a hypothesis. I didn’t say that something bad will definitely happen to me. I just want you to accept other people outside your circle and not be so lonely.”

“Okay, I promise you. But you shouldn’t say these things in the future.”

Originally, it was Han Qing who was trying to talk sense into Yan, but it suddenly became the other way round. Hence, he decided that he wouldn’t talk about this matter anymore.

Time passed by slowly. Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Su’s son finally had his own name.

Xiao Wangzhi.

The name was given by Jiang Xiaobai. When Xiao Su heard it for the first time, he was startled. But then he quickly agreed to it without saying anything further.

Then, the two of them went off to register the kid’s name. Liang Yahe didn’t think too much and even said smilingly that her daughter-in-law was talented at giving names, that the baby’s name was great, and that it was much better than her son’s name and so on.

Xiao Su had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

Liang Yahe didn’t care about anything. As long as they didn’t get a divorce, her grandson could have any name. Even ‘Doggie’ would be great.

The days flew by in a carefree way, like water flowing down a stream.

A month later, Xiao Su still did everything meticulously. It was so perfect that he was like a robot. Jiang Xiaobai was anxious at first, but after a while, she got used to his daily routine.

She even realized that Xiao Su was serious about making it up to her.

However, during this period, darker and heavier eyebags started forming under Xiao Su’s eyes. This was probably due to him having to sleep late and wake up early to look after her.

One morning, when Xiao Su woke up at the crack of dawn and prepared to get off the bed so that he could get things ready for Jiang Xiaobai, someone caught hold of his hand suddenly.

Xiao Su was startled and turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief.

He dared not think too much and only asked her in a low voice, “You’re awake? Did I wake you up?”

Jiang Xiaobai shook her head and looked at him without a word.

Xiao Su felt guilty under her gaze and looked away. “You… should sleep for a while longer. I’m going to prepare breakfast.”

“No need.” Jiang Xiaobai pulled his hand again. “From now on, you don’t have to wake up so early to do these things.”

Hearing this, Xiao Su’s breathing became ragged as his face crumpled.

“Why? Did I do something wrong recently? Or are you dissatisfied with something I’ve done? If you’re dissatisfied, then I…”

“It’s not like that!” Jiang Xiaobai interrupted him quickly. She pursed her red lips, then drew in a deep breath before saying, “Don’t panic. Lie down and listen to me carefully.”

Her expression was calm, so it didn’t look like she was dissatisfied with him. But Xiao Su was terrified, as if he was dragged up to the guillotine. However, he had no choice but to lie down on the bed and listen to her.

His heart felt like it was being barbecued on the spot.

“You’ve done very well for the past month, and I do see your determination. But I’ve thought about everything you’ve done, and I feel that when you’re doing these things, it’s rather unfair to you.”

“No, it’s not. I volunteered to do these for you.”

“Let me finish.”

Xiao Su pressed his lips together and stopped talking.

“Relationships should be equal on both sides. No matter if it’s feelings or other aspects, if one side keeps giving but not receiving, the relationship will become imbalanced. In the past, I loved you deeply, but your feelings toward me were shallow. After a while, our relationship became imbalanced. Although you’re making it up to me now, things will become imbalanced after some time. I’ve given it some serious thought, so please don’t do these things anymore in the future.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1544

Xiaobai, I—”

“Shh. You don’t have to do all these again for me. Just live our lives peacefully and let nature take its course, alright?”

Humans had limited energy, and overuse of it would result in exhaustion.

The past six months were a chance for Jiang Xiaobai to take a step back and mull over the matter. Only in this way would she stay and resolve the matter.

She knew it full well, therefore she was at ease.

Since they were going to spend the rest of their lives together, they had to treasure every moment. She didn’t need Xiao Su to do so much for her, for she was a capable woman herself.

Xiao Su nodded in agreement.

After Jiang Xiaobai got over the matter, she sent a message to Yan, whom she never contacted for a long time, on WeChat.

When Yan received the message from her, she thought that she was dreaming. Otherwise, why would Jiang Xiaobai spontaneously contact her and even ask her out?

Hence, she carefully worded, ‘Are we really going out? Where should we meet?’

When Jiang Xiaobai saw the message, she could visualize the expression on Yan’s face when the latter texted the message. Helplessly shaking her head with a smile, she replied, ‘Don’t be so nervous. We can go anywhere. Do you want to eat anything? We can bring our children along.’

‘Okay. Let’s go to an amusement park.’

It was decided that they were going to meet at an amusement park, but when they reached there, they realized that their children were too young, hence there wasn’t a single facility that was suitable for them. Therefore, they had no choice but to go to a nearby hotel with the kids. As they walked, Jiang Xiaobai shot Yan a funny look.

“You’re hardworking.”

Yan was carrying a child in her arms while there was another one on her back. Facing Jiang Xiaobai’s mockery, she had no choice but to put on a wry smile. “It can’t be helped because I’ve given birth to twins.”

Moreover, both of them were boys. Fortunately, only one was naughty, therefore she held the naughty one in her arms to stop him from moving aimlessly.

“Twins are wonderful. You just had to give birth once to have two children. It’s easier this way.”

“Is it? But I wanted a daughter. I never expected that I’d give birth to two boys at once. This is disappointing.”

“It can’t be helped. You just have to give birth to a girl and let her brothers dote on her. Isn’t that great?”

“You have a point.”

“Yes, just give birth to one more.”

“How about you? How many kids do you want?”

“Me? One is enough. I don’t think I can teach so many kids well. It’s easier to raise only one child.”

It didn’t seem like they hadn’t met each other for six months. Instead, their conversation was as casual as a talk between neighbors. When they finally found a suitable restaurant, Jiang Xiaobai pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at her back, Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that they wouldn’t have much to talk about when they met and the atmosphere would be awkward.

Upon entering the restaurant, Jiang Xiaobai placed her child on the chair beside her. Han Yangchen and Han Zixi were old enough, therefore Yan placed the lovable Han Zixi on the chair beside her and whispered, “Sit here and don’t move around, okay?”

Despite his young age, Han Zixi obediently nodded. “Okay, Mommy.”

“Good boy!” Yan was happy and gave him a kiss on the forehead. After that, she suddenly remembered Han Yishu. This is what it feels to have my own children.

“It’s not convenient to eat anything with kids around. Let’s order some light food.”

“Okay, you’ll order the food.”

After that, Jiang Xiaobai ordered some dishes and juices, but they lost their appetite after taking a few bites. After all, they didn’t come out for delicious food.

“Oh yes, have you named your child yet?”

“I have.”

“What is it?”

“Wangzhi.”

“Wangzhi?” Yan was startled as her gaze became evasive. Putting on a forced smile, she commented, “It’s a good name.”

Jiang Xiaobai raised her gaze and stared at Yan’s face. “Why are you nervous?”

“I’m not nervous.” Yan forced a smile. “Why do you think so? I just feel that you’re literarily talented. That’s why you could come up with such a nice name.”

“I’m not literarily talented. It’s just how I felt at that time.”

Without hiding it, Jiang Xiaobai exposed what was on her mind. At that instant, Yan didn’t know how to continue the conversation as her smile faded. After a while, she hung her head low and said, “I’m sorry.”

“Why do you say sorry?”

“Sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s my fault. If I never—”

“Yan,” Jiang Xiaobai called out. Yan raised her head and gazed at Jiang Xiaobai with reddened eyes.

“I asked you out today partly because of that matter. If you haven’t figured it out, I’ll make it clear to you. If you’ve figured it out, I don’t have to say anything. However, judging from your expression, you haven’t figured it out yet.”

Jiang Xiaobai picked up the glass of juice and took a sip, but she put it down because it was too sweet.

“It has nothing to do with you, and I should be the one who should say sorry.”

“What?!” Yan looked at her in shock. “Why did you say so? It’s me who almost ruined your marriage. You—”

“No.”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly and said, “You didn’t. Although it seemed that you almost ruined my marriage, it’s the irresponsibility of Xiao Su and me that caused the trouble. Moreover, you were injured and needed immediate treatment, hence it was normal that he’d send you to the hospital. However, I made you feel guilty and sorry for this incident. Were you wrong in this matter? No. You just happened to be injured and come across him. Although I was affected by this incident, you were never in the wrong all along. Therefore, you don’t have to feel sorry or guilty or whatever. To be precise, nobody was at fault in this matter. It was just a coincidence, so no one should be blamed.”

She only had herself to blame for getting together with Xiao Su when he hadn’t sorted out his relationship matters. No, it was because of the wine. If she never indulged in alcohol, they wouldn’t have sex, and the series of following events wouldn’t have happened.

As fate would have it, perhaps it was because they owed each other in their previous lives that they had to get together in such a way in their current lives.

Yan had never expected that Jiang Xiaobai could get over the matter. She was so shocked that she couldn’t utter a word. After a long while, she questioned, “What’s your plan for the future?”

“The future? We’ll just go on living together. We’re married, have a kid, and I still love him. What else can I do?”

With that, she burst into laughter first. “Anyway, his heart is all mine now.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1545

At that moment, Yan found Jiang Xiaobai’s smile beautiful. Jiang Xiaobai’s face was impeccable no matter from what angle you looked at it. She was already beautiful when she wasn’t smiling, and when she did, no one could turn their attention away from her. Hence, Yan was affected as well and laughed out loud.

“Really? That’s wonderful. Congratulations. I bless you from the bottom of my heart.”

“Thanks. We’ll be happy.”

After a while, Han Qing called Yan to inquire about her location.

Yan replied helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you that I’d go out with Xiaobai? Why are you coming now?”

“I’m worried because it’s inconvenient for you to look after two kids. I’ll fetch you now.”

“No need. I can go home on my own. Moreover, I haven’t—”

“Let him come here,” Jiang Xiaobai interrupted. “It’s really inconvenient for you to look after two kids. It’s good that he’s coming to fetch you.”

“But—”

“No buts. I’m going home soon. Do you think I’ll spend the whole day with you?”

Although she sounded fierce, Yan understood that her intention was good. She just didn’t want Yan to feel burdened psychologically.

Touched, Yan said gently, “Thanks, Xiaobai.”

After a while, Han Qing arrived. Jiang Xiaobai sized him up and found that he was still as indifferent as before. Although he was handsome and dominating, he wasn’t her cup of tea.

He was too aloof.

She liked men who were more down-to-earth. It seemed that they would never get along.

“Xiaobai, since we’re going home, why don’t we give you a lift?” Yan suggested.

“No need.” Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly. “I still have other matters to attend to, so I’m not going home. You guys, please go home first.”

“Alright.”

Yan bid her farewell and left with Han Qing, who nodded slightly to Jiang Xiaobai.

After Yan and Han Qing paid the bill, they went to the underground parking lot to get their car. Yan leaned in to him and whispered, “She’s forgiven me.”

Han Qing could hear that she was excited. He had never expected that Jiang Xiaobai would have such a huge impact on her as he inquired helplessly, “Are you happy?”

“Of course.” Yan nodded vigorously and bit her lip. “She’s willing to forgive me, so I won’t have any psychological burden anymore. Hubby, am I selfish? I didn’t want any psychological burden, so I had always hoped that she could put down everything and forgive me. However, after giving it a thought, I felt that if I were her, it wouldn’t be easy for me to put it down.”

With that, she felt lucky that Han Qing only loved her. He didn’t like Xu Yanwan at all. She asked herself before whether she would mind it if Han Qing had feelings for Xu Yanwan, but the thought alone made her feel unbearable, not to mention if it became a reality.

While she couldn’t accept it, she hoped that Jiang Xiaobai could put everything down and forgive her. I’m so selfish.

Perhaps humans were selfish after all. She also hoped that Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Su would get along well, giving them her blessing.

“Since she’s forgiven you, it’s time to put it down,” Han Qing impassively said as he carried the kid in his arms and continued, “You don’t have to be worried about it anymore.”

“Yes!” Yan nodded forcefully. “I’m glad that she’s getting better, and I hope that she and Xiao Su would get along well.”

“Let’s go.”

When they reached the car, Han Qing opened the door for her to get in. Holding the kid in her arms, Yan extended her hand. “Pass Yangchen to me as well.”

“No need,” Han Qing said indifferently and entered the car with the kid in his arms.

“Don’t you notice that Mr. Nan is here?”

Hearing that, Yan raised her head and saw that Mr. Nan was seated in the driver’s seat.

“Mr. Nan…”

“Hi, Mrs. Han,” Mr. Nan greeted with a smile.

Yan was embarrassed because she didn’t notice him. It was no wonder that Mr. Nan would come. After all, it was difficult for her to look after two kids. With Mr. Nan here, she and Han Qing could hold one kid each.

She wondered why she had to give birth to twins. Although it could save her the trouble of giving birth twice, it was exhausting to look after two kids at the same time. However, she didn’t want to hire any babysitter. It was her dream to be a mother and have kids with Han Qing, therefore she wanted to raise the kids on her own.

“Muzi called me just now to invite us over for dinner.”

“That’s great,” Yan agreed without a second thought.

Since becoming family with Han Muzi, she and Han Qing would have dinners at Ye Moxuan’s home sometimes. Initially, she was afraid of Ye Moxuan, for he was really an intimidating person. Moreover, he was her boss before. However, she started to feel indifferent as time went by. After all, he was now her younger brother-in-law, so why would she be afraid of someone who was lower in position in the family hierarchy?

With that thought in her mind, Yan wasn’t afraid of Ye Moxuan anymore. She would even tease them sometimes at dinners. Moreover, she found out that whenever she praised that he and Han Muzi were perfect for each other, his gaze would be filled with tenderness.

Compared to Ye Moxuan’s ever swinging mood, Han Qing was a more stable man. Of course, he was steadily indifferent.

Although he was flirty to her sometimes, most of the time he was calm and unflustered. It was only when they were alone that he would become flirtatious.

Thinking of that, Yan couldn’t help chuckling.

Hearing her laugh, Han Qing leaned in and questioned, “What are you laughing at?”

Yan blushed when she heard that.

“I didn’t laugh. Did you hear me laugh?” she denied as her gaze darted around, and her cheeks reddened.

“Stop lying. Your face is red.”

Is my face red? Yan never expected that she was so discomposed, therefore she could only explain, “I really wasn’t laughing. My face reddened because the weather is hot, and it’s tiring to carry a child.”

“Pass him to me.”

Han Qing took over the child and inquired in a lowered voice, “Were you thinking about something naughty?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?!” Yan denied.

With that, she shot Mr. Nan a guilty look as it would be awkward if he could hear what they said.

“Nonsense?” Han Qing blew air at her cheek. “Your face and ears are red. Your body doesn’t lie.”

“Alright, stop saying. We’re outside.”

“Okay, we’ll talk about it after going home and having dinner.”

Yan was rendered speechless.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1546

During dinner, Yan realized that one more person had joined the meal. She was the playmate of Little Bean, as well as the Young Mistress of the Tang Group, Tang Yuanyuan.

Looking at her chubby face, Yan couldn’t help saying with a smile, “Yuanyuan, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’ve become chubbier.”

Tang Yuanyuan batted her big eyes. Her skin had become even more translucent. Seated beside the tall and slim Little Bean, she was as soft as a pile of cotton. Not understanding Yan’s mockery, she flashed a silly smile to her.

This smile…

Yan was startled and turned to Little Sprout, who was seated beside her. She flashed the same kind of silly smile to her. In that instant, Yan’s mouth twitched. She remembered that the last time she met Tang Yuanyuan, her smile was cute and innocent. How did she become as silly as Little Sprout after mingling with her for some time? Could silliness be transmitted?

Time went by so quickly. Little Sprout was just an infant who had to be held in one’s arms back then, but now she could already sit on her own. After Han Muzi told Ye Moxuan to place all the dishes on the table, she took off her coat and took a seat.

“Qing, Yan, I’ve cooked all these dishes today. Please have more.”

Due to the fact that Han Muzi knew Yan before the latter married, therefore she never called her sister-in-law. Instead, she would just call her by her name. Ye Moxuan said in displeasure, “You don’t cook for me normally, but when your older brother comes, you prepare dishes yourself.”

Before Han Muzi could say a word, Yan batted her eyes and said, “Moxuan, Han Qing isn’t an outsider. He’s Muzi’s older brother. Why are you jealous?”

Hearing that, Ye Moxuan turned gloomy and stared at her with narrowed eyes. However, Yan wasn’t afraid at all. In the past, she would never dare to provoke Ye Moxuan. Now that she was his older sister-in-law, why should she be afraid? As expected, after shooting her a fierce look, Ye Moxuan retracted his gaze without saying a word.

“Alright, stop speaking and have dinner.”

Seated beside the two girls, Little Bean took care of them by helping them put food in the bowls. Tang Yuanyuan picked up the crispy pork slice Little Bean got for her and placed it on Little Sprout’s bowl before saying in a babyish voice, “Little Sprout, this is for you.”

Holding the durable bowl that was printed with animal pictures that her parents bought for her, Little Sprout batted her long eyelashes and replied in a low voice, “Thanks, Yuanyuan.”

“You’re welcome. Please help yourself.”

The three kids were getting along well.

After dinner, Yan followed Han Muzi into the kitchen as she helped out and inquired, “What do you think about Tang Yuanyuan? Do you want her to be the future wife of Little Bean?”

Hearing that, Han Muzi shot her a weird look.

“How is this possible? She’s a young girl. They just get along well. Moreover, I like her very much.”

“I know, but didn’t Ye Moxuan intend to find a girlfriend for Little Bean when he invited Yuanyuan over?”

“Yes, it was his original intention. However, both of them are still young, so I don’t want to be involved in it. Anyway, we can’t interfere in this kind of matter. If they get together in the future, I won’t object to it. But if they have no feelings for each other, I won’t force them. Therefore, I won’t say a word now, and let’s see how it’ll develop when they grow up.”

Han Muzi turned on the tap as Yan put the cleaned plates under the running water.

“You’re right, but Yuanyuan should control her diet. It’s not healthy to be obese.”

“Yes.” Han Muzi nodded in agreement. “I think so too. I had told her about it before, and she promised that she wouldn’t eat so much again. However, every time she sees delicious food, she would beam with glee and forget about my advice and her own promise.”

“Maybe she’s just too young. She should be able to control herself when she grows up. If she just can’t resist delicious food whenever she comes to your house, just don’t give her so much food.”

“Yes, your suggestion is great. I’ll remember that.”

They chatted casually in the kitchen. Suddenly, the door was opened before Han Qing and Ye Moxuan walked in together.

When Han Muzi saw that they had taken off their jackets and wore only white shirts, she asked perplexedly, “Why have you guys come here all of a sudden?”

With some bubbles on her hands, Yan looked at them in puzzlement as well. Rolling up his sleeves, Ye Moxuan walked over and directly took over the plate that Han Muzi hadn’t wiped clean. “I’ve cleaned up the table. Go out and leave these to me.”

With that, Han Qing stood beside the sink and cleaned Yan’s hands for her before saying gently, “The servant has prepared some fruits. Go out and have some. We’ll go home a little later.”

Just like that, the ladies were chased out of the kitchen before they could finish washing the dishes. After the door was closed, Yan and Han Muzi traded glances in bafflement.

“What is going on?”

“I don’t know. Why did he change suddenly and offer to wash the dishes?”

“Does he wash the dishes at home normally?”

“No, the servant would do it.”

“It’s the same case for my husband.”

With that, they fell into silence. What was wrong with the men today? Did they offer to wash the dishes because it was their wives who did that today? Thinking of that, Han Muzi pressed her lips together and said, “Forget it. Just let them wash the dishes. It’s easier for us. Let’s go play with the kids.”

“Okay.”

What they didn’t know was that after the men closed the kitchen door, Ye Moxuan sneered, “I’ve come here to help my wife wash the dishes. What does it have to do with you?”

Hearing that, Han Qing shot him a cold look and reminded, “It’s not just your wife. My wife was here as well. Moreover, she’s my younger sister.”

Ye Moxuan snorted, “So what? She definitely loves her husband more than her brother.”

“And, be more polite to Yan.”

Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless.

“Otherwise, I’d tell Muzi to come home to stay over more often.”

With a ferocious grin, Ye Moxuan wanted to punch him when he heard that. After a while, he tried hard to calm himself down.

“Do you know that your wife loves Little Bean?”

Han Qing raised an eyebrow.

“After all, before she had her own kids, she had spent so many years with Little Bean. What do you think if I tell Little Bean and Tang Yuanyuan to stay in your home?”

The corners of Han Qing’s eyes twitched as he narrowed his eyes. They shot daggers at each other with their gazes for a while before they looked away and put a stop to the war.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1547

In the living room.

The maid had placed a fruit platter as well as some snacks on the table. Little Sprout was playing with her video games. Tang Yuanyuan cheered for Little Sprout as she secretly reached out for grapes to pop into her and her friend’s mouth occasionally.

Little Bean voiced out his concerns when he saw them. “Tang Yuanyuan, don’t eat too much fruit after you just finish your meal.”

She had already eaten a lot during her meal just now. Eating so many fruits would be too much for her stomach.

Little Bean was advising her for her own good.

However, Tang Yuanyuan was taken aback when Little Bean called her out using her full name, and he sounded like he was pissed off. Then, Tang Yuanyuan looked up at Little Bean.

She felt confused when she saw that Little Bean was frowning and looked angry.

“I-I’m sorry, Yishu. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Then, Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes reddened, and she stopped feasting on the grapes.

Little Bean was dumbfounded. “Why are you crying?”

He just didn’t want her to eat too much so that she wouldn’t get a stomach ache. Why did she cry?

Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes widened even more when she noticed that he looked even more impatient. Tears were threatening to fall out as she tried her best to hold it back and pursed her lips, not daring to say anything.

Little Sprout, too, sensed that something wasn’t right. Although she was still small, she stopped playing games and tilted her head at Tang Yuanyuan when she noticed that Tang Yuanyuan looked teary.

“I’m sorry, Yishu.” Tang Yuanyuan placed the greenish grapes back and whimpered, “I won’t eat it anymore. I won’t simply eat everything anymore. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Little Bean was confused. “When am I mad at you?

Then, he proceeded to stand up. However, it terrified Tang Yuanyuan so much that tears started falling. “I’m so sorry, Yishu. I really won’t do it anymore.”

When Han Muzi and Yan came out, they rushed over when they heard Tang Yuanyuan crying.

“What happened?”

Little Sprout tilted her head as she watched Tang Yuanyuan cry. She was confused.

However, Little Bean was stunned. He didn’t know what was happening at all. All he did was ask for her not to overeat. Why did she cry?

Was his tone too harsh?

Little Bean tried to recall how he sounded just now, but it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with his tone.

“Yuanyuan?” Han Muzi reached out to pull Tang Yuanyuan into her embrace and wiped her tears off. “Don’t cry anymore. Tell me, what happened?”

Yan went over to Little Bean’s back before leaning down and pressed on Little Bean’s shoulder. “What happened? Did you bully that little girl?”

“I didn’t.” Little Bean sounded exasperated. “Everything was fine. Why would I bully her?”

“Then why did she cry?”

Little Bean didn’t know what was wrong as wrong. He didn’t know that Tang Yuanyuan would cry because of what he said.

“After all, if you didn’t do anything to her, she wouldn’t have cried. Am I right?” Yan patted Little Bean’s shoulder. “You’re the big brother here, you know? Yuanyuan is just a child. You can’t bully her, okay?”

“Aunty Yan, I really didn’t bully her. I just gave her some advice.”

“You gave her advice? Was your tone too harsh?” Yan guessed what happened from what he said. “You should be more gentle when you’re talking to a girl. Don’t you know that? Look at how old you are right now. Then, look at how old Yuanyuan is.”

Little Bean was speechless.

Han Muzi could only console Tang Yuanyuan gently as Tang Yuanyuan continued crying. Then, she carried Tang Yuanyuan to Little Bean.

“Stop crying, Yuanyuan. I’ll get him to say sorry to you, okay?”

Tang Yuanyuan couldn’t help but feel that Little Bean seemed unhappy when she met his gaze. It seemed like he didn’t like her. Shaking her head, Tang Yuanyuan buried her head in Han Muzi’s chest and refused to say anything.

“Just apologize.” Yan pushed Little Bean slightly. “You better apologize after making the little girl cry.”

However, Little Bean stood unwavering as he pursed his lips tightly.

Why should he apologize when he did nothing wrong?

“Little Bean?”

They did not expect Little Bean to just turn around and leave. Even Yan couldn’t make him come back when she tried.

Tang Yuanyuan looked even more upset when Little Bean ignored her and left.

Even when Han Muzi tried to use food to cheer her up, Tang Yuanyuan just refused to eat.

Running out of ideas, Han Muzi had no choice but to contact Tang Yuanyuan’s parents, saying that she suddenly started crying and wouldn’t stop no matter how much they tried to coo her.

The Tang couple came in no time.

When Mrs. Tang carried Tang Yuanyuan, she noticed that Tang Yuanyuan’s eyes were reddish from all that crying and said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, she must have caused so much trouble for you guys.”

Han Muzi shook her head. “It’s fine. I didn’t know what happened to her and Little Bean because I wasn’t present. However, she suddenly started crying and ignored me no matter how much I tried to console her. But, I don’t think Little Bean bullied her as I’ve checked her body and found no signs of injuries.”

Mrs. Tang exclaimed, “Muzi, how could you say that? Little Bean isn’t like that. Yuanyuan must have been greedily eating because she cried for a few hours after I lectured her for wanting to snack last time.”

Han Muzi felt awkward. “Is that so?”

“That should be it. It’s fine; I’ll take her home first, seeing that she’s not in a good mood right now. I don’t want her causing trouble for you guys.”

Han Muzi initially wanted to say that it was fine. However, seeing that Tang Yuanyuan was still upset and crying, she could only nod as it was better for Tang Yuanyuan to be accompanied by her own parents.

The Tang couple took Tang Yuanyuan home after that.

After they left, Yan leaned on Han Muzi and commented, “They’re really nice to you. However, it seems like Tang Yuanyuan can really cry. She didn’t even stop after so long.”

“Maybe she felt wronged? I’ll ask Little Bean about it later tonight.”

Han Muzi didn’t want to place the blame on Little Bean. All she wanted to do was to understand the situation further by asking him about it later tonight.

When the two men came out of the kitchen after doing the dishes, they did not inquire anything when they realized that Little Bean and Tang Yuanyuan weren’t there.

Han Muzi got Yan to inform the others about what happened while she went to Little Bean’s room to look for him.

Little Bean was propped in his room as he sat in front of his laptop and was watching something.

He pondered for a moment before getting up to open the door when he heard knockings.

Little Bean saw Han Muzi standing outside after he opened the door.

“What are you doing? Can I come in?”

Little Bean moved to the side to allow Han Muzi to enter.

“What happened today? I thought Yuanyuan and you get along with each other well usually. Why did she suddenly cry?”

Little Bean felt annoyed as he didn’t know why Tang Yuanyuan cried as well. “I’m not sure.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1548

“You’re not sure? Yuanyuan was already crying when I went there. If you’re not sure, who else can tell me what really happened?”

Han Muzi squatted down in front of Little Bean. “What really happened? I know that you’re mature now, but Yuanyuan is still a little girl after all. Were you too harsh on her?”

Little Bean became more agitated at that. He pursed his lips and refuted, “I wasn’t scolding her. I just commented on her because I saw that she was eating too much.” Little Bean really didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with his tone of voice. However, he ended up making her cry.

“Commented?” Han Muzi recalled that she had lectured Tang Yuanyuan not to eat too many snacks, but she was always okay with it. Why did she cry after Little Bean lectured her? “Was your tone too harsh?” Han Muzi could only guess from another point of view.

“I didn’t feel like I was harsh on her.”

“Did you look angry?”

“Mommy…”

“I’m not blaming you, but I just wanted to know what really happened just now. After all, you did make her cry. I mean, how old is she now? Don’t you know how much she likes to be around you? Since you don’t want to say anything, I won’t force you to. That little girl would probably forget all about it tomorrow.” Then, Han Muzi ruffled Little Bean’s head. “Alright. Don’t think too much about it and go to sleep.”

After Han Muzi left, Little Bean sat alone next to his bed as he recalled what happened today. What did he do wrong? After that, Little Bean gave up on thinking and fell asleep in his bed. However, he did not sleep well that night as dreams of Tang Yuanyuan crying kept occurring. He looked tired when he got up. Why are girls so fragile?

Little Bean still didn’t believe that it was his fault, so he got up early to find Little Sprout and used the same tone and expression that he used to speak to Tang Yuanyuan last night to speak with Little Sprout. However, Little Sprout tilted her head at him and started giggling. The corner of Little Bean’s mouth twitched. How could he forget that his sister wasn’t normal like the others? Moreover, she was too young to be his test subject. The thought of this made Little Bean reach out to flick Little Sprout’s forehead. “Stop laughing anymore. If not, Mommy might start worrying that you’re a fool again.”

The truth was, Han Muzi was really worried about the probability of this happening and had brought her for a checkup at the hospital. However, the results showed that she was normal, and the doctor had suggested that Little Sprout was a positive person, a girl who loved to laugh. That was what Little Bean thought as well, or so he hoped. Maybe his little sister would not have to be troubled by her own thoughts like this.

“Yishu.” Little Sprout was playing with his fingers and nibbling them before she giggled foolishly again, “Hehehe.”

“Sigh.” Little Bean sighed before carrying Little Sprout. “Are you tired? Let me bring you back to your room.”

“Okay.” Although Little Sprout had just woken up, she was taken back to her room by Little Bean to sleep again.

It was the weekend today. Usually, Mrs. Tang would send Tang Yuanyuan over on her own by this time. However, it was quiet the entire day today, for Mrs. Tang did not bring Tang Yuanyuan over. No one showed up by noon.

Han Muzi couldn’t help but pay more attention to Little Bean due to what happened yesterday. However, she felt relieved when she noticed that he didn’t look affected. Mrs. Tang called after lunch and explained that they wouldn’t be coming over because they had guests over. Han Muzi replied that it was fine before noticing Little Bean standing next to her when she hung up and informed him, “Some guests came over to Yuanyuan’s house today, so she won’t be coming.”

“Alright.” Little Bean turned around and left. Guests coming were probably just an excuse. It seemed like Tang Yuanyuan didn’t want to come over. It was okay if she didn’t want to come. However, if she could manage to throw such a huge tantrum when she was young, what would happen when she grew up?

Tang Yuanyuan didn’t come the second day as well, and everyone in the Ye Family carried on with their lives as usual. Ye Moxuan was initially worried that if Tang Yuanyuan didn’t come, Little Bean would annoy his woman. However, it seemed like Little Bean had gotten smarter. He’d return to his room after every meal, only occasionally coming out to take care of his little sister. As such, Ye Moxuan was satisfied with this outcome.

Three days later, Tang Yuanyuan still didn’t show up. In fact, she did not come for the entire week. Mrs. Tang would call over every day to apologize as she made up new excuses while Han Muzi continued acting like she didn’t know anything.

Han Muzi did not expect the little girl’s temperament to be so bad as well. However, Tang Yuanyuan was just turning four years old, so how could she hold a grudge for so long? Could it be that the Tang Family didn’t want to send Tang Yuanyuan over anymore as they thought that she was bullied here? Han Muzi sighed at that. If that was it, then there was nothing that she could do. After all, she couldn’t just confront them if they didn’t say anything.

Right when Han Muzi thought that the little girl wouldn’t come over anymore, Mrs. Tang brought Tang Yuanyuan over the next day. Mrs. Tang looked awkward when she came in as she kept apologizing to Han Muzi. “I’m so sorry, Muzi. Yuanyuan is just too stubborn. She refused to come when I wanted to bring her over previously. But, she finally told me that she wanted to come over to play with the kids after waking up in the morning today.”

“It’s alright.” Han Muzi was surprised. “She was upset for so long?”

“Yeah.” Mrs. Tang nodded. “This little girl has a really bad temper. However, she didn’t throw any tantrums at home. She just looked upset every day. I don’t know what she was thinking about, and she doesn’t even snack that much anymore.”

When Han Muzi glanced at the little girl, she couldn’t help but notice how Tang Yuanyuan instinctively avoided her gaze. Han Muzi reached out to Tang Yuanyuan. “Come, why don’t you let me carry you?”

Tang Yuanyuan was just a little child after all. Naturally, she spread her arms when Han Muzi spoke gently to her. Han Muzi then carried her over. “She’s way lighter now. It seems like she hasn’t been eating much recently. Tell me, Yuanyuan. Did Little Bean scold you? If so, I will protect you.”

Tang Yuanyuan shook her head slightly and mumbled, “No, he did not bully me.”

However, Han Muzi stopped probing when Tang Yuanyuan looked unwilling to talk about it. After they continued chatting while Han Muzi carried Tang Yuanyuan, Mrs. Tang left.

Then, Han Muzi carried both Tang Yuanyuan and Little Sprout to the living room before bringing some jigsaw puzzles and building blocks for the kids to play with and warned, “These toys are for you to play with only. You can’t put them in your mouth or try to swallow it, okay?”

Both girls looked up at her and nodded after she finished talking.

“Good.”

At this moment, Little Bean came downstairs. When his footsteps were heard, Tang Yuanyuan, who was initially relaxed, tensed up immediately. Her back was straightened as she looked nervous.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1549

Little Bean made his way down as usual. However, when he saw Tang Yuanyuan in the living room, he paused slightly before carrying on.

Little Bean went to the kitchen and informed Han Muzi that he was going out after his meal.

Han Muzi only asked him to study well and didn’t say anything else as he went to school.

Han Muzi noticed that Tang Yuanyuan looked upset after Little Bean left, so she reached out to poke Tang Yuanyuan’s cheek.

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Yuanyuan looked up with doe eyes before asking with an upset tone, “Does Yishu hate me?”

Han Muzi was taken aback by that. Then, she explained to Tang Yuanyuan, “Why could he hate you? Why would you think like that? Little Bean would never hate you.”

Tang Yuanyuan looked sad as she lowered her head.

“Are you overthinking because Little Bean did not talk to you just now? Don’t worry. He’s not a petty person. Little Bean has to go to school today, and you’ll be able to go together with him after you grow up as well.”

“Really?” Tang Yuanyuan looked up and asked hesitantly.

“Of course! It’s true. Little Bean will talk to you when he comes back. If he doesn’t, I’ll scold him for you, okay?”

Tang Yuanyuan did not answer Han Muzi and turned around to blink at Little Sprout, who was next to her.

Tang Yuanyuan started anticipating Little Bean’s return from school following what Han Muzi told her.

Children’s thoughts were naive. They’d think too much after fighting with their friends and only want to reconcile with them after that.

That was why Tang Yuanyuan could only hope for Little Bean to come home soon so that they could make up.

Tang Yuanyuan spent her entire day in anticipation.

However, Tang Yuanyuan finally fell asleep on the couch after one whole day of waiting. When Little Sprout noticed that Tang Yuanyuan dozed off, she lay down next to her friend, hugged her arms, and fell asleep as well.

When Han Muzi came downstairs, the first thing she saw was Little Sprout completely laying on top of Tang Yuanyuan. She could only rush forward to untangle Little Sprout’s hands and carried her upstairs before going downstairs to carry Tang Yuanyuan as well.

Right when Han Muzi prepared to go down to carry Tang Yuanyuan, she noticed that Little Bean’s transporter was here. Recalling the misunderstanding between the two kids, Han Muzi decided not to go downstairs.

To be honest, quarrels between kids were the easiest to resolve. After all, kids were more innocent yet braver. However, they’d probably feel awkward under the presence of an adult, so Han Muzi decided not to interfere.

Tang Yuanyuan had a dream of eating ice cream, chocolate, and tons of cotton candies. She was in a little castle with only food, where the fragrance of food was everywhere. Hence, she kept eating and eating until Little Bean suddenly appeared in front of her and scolded her with a harsh tone.

Then, she immediately jolted awake.

When Tang Yuanyuan woke up, she noticed a tall and slender figure on the couch as well. She did not overthink about it as she just woke up and instinctively greeted when she saw Little Bean. After all, she had already waited for one whole day. “Yishu.”

Little Bean tensed up at that. Then, he turned around slowly to face her.

A few moments later, Little Bean greeted awkwardly, “Hey.”

Tang Yuanyuan had completely forgotten about their feud and reached out to pull on Little Bean’s sleeves. “Yishu.”

Tang Yuanyuan didn’t know what to say, but she didn’t know how to apologize as well. The two of them barely spoke during this week, and Tang Yuanyuan had already reduced her snacking habit. However, she really wanted to snack on something right now. She sobbed in her heart, wishing that Little Bean would bring her to get cotton candies.

“Alright, it was my fault the other day. I shouldn’t have spoken to you so harshly,” Little Bean apologized before reaching for his bag to take out a bag of chocolates and lollipops. Then, he gave them to Tang Yuanyuan. “I hope these will make it up for you.”

“Oh!” Tang Yuanyuan was surprised as she took the present over. She felt giddy. “Thank you, Yishu.”

Little Bean felt reluctant when he saw that Tang Yuanyuan, who initially looked confused, started smiling like a fool after getting the snacks. Suddenly, he thought of an idea and said with an adult tone, “Remember that these snacks are not good for your body, so don’t eat too much of it.”

“I’ll remember that, Yishu.”

The kids finally made up and forgot about their previous fight, unlike adults who held on to their grudges.

When Han Muzi came downstairs again, Tang Yuanyuan was following behind Little Bean like a little puppy trying to get on his good side.

As expected, kids were innocent creatures. Once they make up with each other, they wouldn’t hold on to their grudges.

After this event, Tang Yuanyuan would always remember what Little Bean told her. The words, ‘do not eat too many snacks’, kept replaying in her mind every time. However, she’d forget all about it in the face of delicious food and only thought about them after she finished eating.

Meanwhile, Xiao Su realized that he changed a lot ever since having a heart-to-heart talk with Jiang Xiaobai. He started living together with her seriously and stopped mentioning wanting a divorce anymore. The both of them live together peacefully.

Of course, during these six months, Xiao Su respected Jiang Xiaobai and never once did anything to her so that she wouldn’t get pregnant.

In Xiao Su’s point of view, although he could see Jiang Xiaobai’s changes, he was still skeptical and afraid that she might leave him. So, on the day that they had decided to get a divorce, the man consciously handed Jiang Xiaobai their marriage booklets.

When he took the booklets and placed them in front of Jiang Xiaobai, she was carrying Xiao Wangzhi and feeding him by coercing him gently. Liang Yahe was there as well, sitting next to her. When Liang Yahe turned around, she saw her son walking over with two red booklets.

Her face immediately changed at that as she turned to Jiang Xiaobai and suggested, “I’ll take the kid to walk around downstairs.”

“Huh?” Jiang Xiaobai was confused. Why would she suddenly want to bring the child out for a walk? “Mrs. Xiao, I’m still feeding him…”

Before Jiang Xiaobai could finish what she was saying, Liang Yahe carried Xiao Wangzhi and left.

Jiang Xiaobai felt helpless. Right when she was about to say something, she heard footsteps coming from her back. Turning around, she noticed Xiao Su as well as the two red booklets that he was holding.

Jiang Xiaobai fell into silence. So that was why Jiang Yahe suddenly wanted to bring Xiao Wangzhi downstairs.

After Liang Yahe left with the child, only the both of them were left in the house.

Jiang Xiaobai did not move from her seat as she waited for Xiao Su to come over and sit next to her.

“These are the marriage booklets that I have kept for half a year.”

Xiao Su gave the booklets to Jiang Xiaobai. “I’ll hand them over to you now. Half a year’s time is already due. Do you still want to leave me?”

Jiang Xiaobai paused. Then, she acted as if it wasn’t her business and commented lightly, “Since you’ve been keeping them for half a year already, just continue keeping it, then. I’m too lazy to do anything about it anyway.”

Xiao Su’s heart started racing. “I can continue keeping it?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 1550

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xiaobai looked calm. “Do you not want to keep it?”

“Of course I want to keep it.” Xiao Su immediately kept the marriage booklets. Everything that just happened was like a dream to him. It was too good to be true.

“Do you mean… That?” Xiao Su asked hesitantly. However, he didn’t dare to ask if she didn’t want a divorce as he was afraid to mention the word ‘divorce’ in front of her.

Jiang Xiaobai felt funny when she noticed his cautious look.

“Half a year has already passed, but why are you still like this? Can you see what I’ve done during these six months?”

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath before explaining lightly, “Do you really think I have the time to play around with you for half a year? A woman’s youth is precious. Why do you think that I would stay with you if I don’t have feelings for you?”

These were words that Xiao Su never had the chance to hear during these six months.

Xiao Su felt delighted after hearing what Jiang Xiaobai said. He always knew that Jiang Xiaobai did not willingly stay just to fool around with him. After all, not all could afford to waste six months of their time. Moreover, if they weren’t happy together, who would have managed to hold on for the past six months?

“Just keep the marriage booklets. Be careful, for I might change my mind if you bring it up to me again.”

Jiang Xiaobai made her tone sound harsher purposely so that she could intimidate Xiao Su.

Xiao Su immediately kept the marriage booklets before moving forward and snaked his arms around Jiang Xiaobai’s waist. He looked emotional. “Thank you.”

His voice was low, as if the darkness of the midnight sky. “Thank you for giving me a chance and staying by my side. Marrying you is the greatest honor in my life. Don’t be worried as I’ll dedicate the rest of my life to treating you well.”

Jiang Xiaobai did not expect Xiao Su to confess something so touching. Luckily Liang Yahe was smart enough to bring the child downstairs. If it weren’t so, it would have been awkward for Xiao Su in front of his mother and his son.

“Come on. Stop annoying me.” Jiang Xiaobai pushed Xiao Su away. “I’m still eating now. Can’t you find a suitable timing when you want to talk about this? Your mother and son were both here, and you chose to take the marriage booklets out at this timing. What’s wrong with you?”

“Yes, it’s my fault. You can say and do anything you want to me as long as you don’t leave me.”

Xiao Su acted like he was under a spell, clinging to Jiang Xiaobai like a little puppy, although he was pushed away.

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback as well. It was her first time seeing Xiao Su acting like this.

“Why did I never realize that you’re so shameless?”

“What if you run away if I’m not shameless enough? Where else can I get another mother for my son? Where can I find another person that I like again?”

“What did you just say?” Jiang Xiaobai’s voice sounded a pitch higher as she accused Xiao Su, “Can’t you say it louder when you say you like me? Is liking me very embarrassing? Whatever, I know you’re the type of person who acts according to his likes only. I don’t want to hear it anymore. This topic ends here now. I want to continue eating…”

“I love you.”

Jiang Xiaobai paused. She thought she heard something wrong as her feet stayed rooted to the ground.

Everything quieted down until only both of their breaths could be heard. It took Jiang Xiaobai a while before she could meet Xiao Su’s eyes again as she struggled to speak.

“What… did you just say?”

Jiang Xiaobai was pulled into an embrace by Xiao Su. Pressed against him, her ear was on his chest. She could hear his husband’s heartbeat as the sound of his heartbeat entered her ear and reached her heart.

Jiang Xiaobai could feel her body trembling as what Xiao Su said echoed through her ears. Her eyes felt hot, as if something was threatening to fall out, and she struggled to catch her breath.

Jiang Xiaobai was waiting for Xiao Su to say these words for ages.

However, right when she was about to lose hope, she finally heard it.

“Was it not clear? Let me say it again.” Xiao Su moved his lips and went closer to her ear and whispered, “I love you.”

Jiang Xiaobai finally broke into tears.

“To be honest, I had already developed feelings toward you a long time ago. It was just that I was oblivious about it and wasted half a year of it. It’s my fault for ruining half a year of your time.”

“I should have sorted out my feelings and confessed to you earlier.”

Jiang Xiaobai was so emotional she couldn’t say anything. She stared at Xiao Su with reddish eyes as tears continued falling off her face.

The two of them faced each other as Xiao Su reached out to wipe her tears off. “I’m sorry for making you suffer. Please stop crying anymore.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes were red as she took a few deep breaths before she found her voice again.

“You can only love me from now onward. You can’t go around liking other people anymore.”

“Of course.”

“You also can’t give other women any second glances anymore.”

“Yes.”

After Xiao Su promised everything Jiang Xiaobai requested, he pulled her into his embrace. “My heart and body belong to you. What happened previously won’t ever happen again.”

Then, Xiao Su wiped her face clean. “Don’t be angry anymore. Isn’t it time to wear your wedding ring again?”

Jiang Xiaobai returned their wedding ring to Xiao Su during their previous fight, and Xiao Su only found out about it after she left.

Xiao Su had always kept the ring after that and never dared to mention it during the past six months until now.

Jiang Xiaobai stared at her empty ring finger at the mention of their wedding ring and reached out her hand before nodding at Xiao Su.

Jiang Xiaobai initially thought that Xiao Su would go to retrieve the ring. Who knew, Xiao Su took the ring out from his pocket and put it on Jiang Xiaobai in the next moment.

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless. “You really came prepared, huh?”

Xiao Su coughed slightly. “Everything is already prepared. I just need you to make the decision.”

“So you don’t mind either decision that I make, huh?” Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the wedding ring on her hand before raising her eyebrows at Xiao Su.

“Of course not.” Xiao Su had a strong sense of survival as he tried to argue, “Of course I hope that you can stay. However, I don’t want to force you to stay because I can’t stand seeing you being unhappy.”

Xiao Su was motivated because Jiang Xiaobai had been way happier during the past six months. If Jiang Xiaobai had been unhappy during the past six months, he probably would have broken down before Jiang Xiaobai did. Fortunately, that did not happen.

“Hmph, you finally said something humane.” Even though Jiang Xiaobai’s heart had already melted as she was very touched, she still couldn’t help but tease him. Finally, she reached out to embrace Xiao Su when she noticed that he looked very nervous.

“Alright. Stop overthinking. Let’s just continue living together. As long as you don’t let me down, I will never mention getting a divorce anymore.”

The two of them cuddled during the quiet morning as they listened to each other’s heartbeats. Their breath slowed down stably.

To be honest, Jiang Xiaobai did have thoughts about leaving him. However, she realized that she still loved him. Nonetheless, there wasn’t any need to make her life hard anyway. Since Xiao Su chose to change, Jiang Xiaobai would forgive him. It was as simple as that.

Jiang Xiaobai also trusted that every day could only get better from today onward.

Ordinary happiness was way more important than anything else.
