Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 291

Her words were a surprise to Shen Qi.

She didn’t expect Han Xueyou to say it directly like this in a loud voice.

Hence, she turned her head in a panic as she looked at the door of the ward.

“Qi, are you very scared? Because you are pregnant with Ye Linhan’s child, so even if you are with Ye Moxuan, you won’t feel peace. If, and I mean if, Ye Moxuan knew that you had an affair with Ye Linhan, do you think that he could tolerate this?”

Hearing this, Shen Qi’s heart turned cold. She looked at Han Xueyou. “So what? Are you going to tell him about this? Or do you think that by saying this, I will divorce Ye Moxuan?”

Han Xueyou shook her head with a look of horror. “You’ve misunderstood me, Qi. As long as you don’t want to, I won’t tell this to anyone until I die. Qi, we are best of friends, and I always have your best interest at heart. Look at this…”

Han Xueyou suddenly handed a contract to Shen Qi.

Shen Qi didn’t care at all, but when she saw the name on the agreement, her face instantly turned pale, and her breathing sped up. “Why is this agreement with you?”

Han Xueyou didn’t speak but looked at her with some timidity in her eyes.

It was the divorce agreement she signed with Ye Moxuan. But why was it here with Han Xueyou? What on earth was happening?

Could it be that… The satisfactory answer that Ye Moxuan promised me. Is it this divorce agreement?

“Qi, I know you may have a deep love for Moxuan, but… love cannot be forced. He doesn’t love you at all. If he found out that the father of your child is Ye Linhan, he would hate you. Instead of making both of you miserable, wouldn’t it be better to stay with Ye Linhan? He really loves you.”

“Stop talking!” Shen Qi interrupted her harshly. “I don’t need anyone to teach me what decision I should make. I can be with whomever I want to be with. You also said that love cannot be forced, then why are you forcing me to be with Ye Linhan? Han Xueyou, I’ve always considered you as my closest friend, my sister. You said you are doing this for my good, but have you ever asked me if I want to be with Ye Linhan? You only know that he loves me, but you’ve never asked me if I love him back. Even if you know about it, you still insisted on me being with him. To put it nicely, you said it’s for my own good. But in reality, it’s just to fulfill your selfish desires, isn’t it?”

Han Xueyou was stunned by her words, and she looked at her blankly. “S-Selfish desires?”

“If you aren’t acting out of selfish desires, you will find that your behavior is no different from forcing me. However, you have been completely led by your feelings for Ye Moxuan, so you intentionally tried to matchmake me and Ye Linhan, right?”

“Qi—”

“Today is the last time I’m going to see you. Xueyou, no matter what you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me anymore. Indeed, you have been very good to me all this while, but I’ve treated you very well too. In a relationship, the feelings between two parties have to be mutual. I don’t owe you anything. On top of that, I saved your life yesterday, so I owe you nothing from now onward. I won’t see you again in the future.”

With that, Shen Qi turned around and walked out.

She knew that she had to be tough, otherwise she would be moved by Han Xueyou easily.

“Even if Ye Moxuan takes that divorce agreement and tells you that he wants a divorce one day, wouldn’t it matter to you? Qi, you said I’m doing these for my own selfish desires, but I’m also doing it for your own good. If he really divorces you, what should you do?”

“Really?” Shen Qi smiled faintly. “We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. Besides, it’s my business. I believe I have the abilities to handle it well.”

Seeing that Shen Qi had really made up her mind to leave, Han Xueyou felt anxious and jumped out of bed to pull her hand. “Don’t go, Qi. It’s all my fault. But I really can’t live without Moxuan, and he doesn’t love you at all. Will you give him to me? I beg you this time.”

“What are you talking about?” Shen Qi thought she heard it wrongly as she stared at Han Xueyou incredulously. “Say it again?”

“I’m sorry, Qi. I know this request is too much, but I really can’t live without him. Every second that I’m alive, I think of him. You shouldn’t have saved me yesterday, and you should’ve let me die. It would be so much better if I was dead!”

Hearing this, Shen Qi sneered as she looked at Han Xueyou mockingly, but she seemed to be mocking herself at the same time. “Are you blaming me because I saved you? Or, are you threatening me with your life?”

“Qi, I didn’t mean it, but I really love him. You are pregnant now, and Ye Linhan loves you so much. Why don’t you just change another man to fall in love with? Ye Linhan is the one who can give you happiness!”

“You don’t have the rights to force me to accept what Ye Linhan can give me! Xueyou, you weren’t like this before. How come you have become like this now?”

“Qi, just let me have him. Please, I’m begging you.” Han Xueyou didn’t answer Shen Qi; instead, she looked as if she had been hit by a spell—she kept hugging Shen Qi’s thigh, asking her to give Ye Moxuan to her repeatedly.

Shen Qi struggled to pull her legs away from Han Xueyou’s grasps, but she seemed to have made up her mind as she held Shen Qi firmly while begging her with tears in her eyes.

“Qi, I have known you for so long; you can tell how sincere I’ve always treated you. I have never begged you for anything. But this time around, I just beg you to give me Ye Moxuan. Qi, without him, I really can’t survive.”

Han Xueyou kept crying miserably, completely unaware of the fact that Shen Qi’s fair cheeks were already covered with tears as she bit her lower lip tightly.

“Are you threatening me with your own life again? Our friendship is completely broken this time. For a man, you would rather lose your best friend!”

“No!” Han Xueyou shook her head vehemently. “As long as you promise to give Ye Moxuan to me, we can still be good friends. Qi, I will treat you very well in the future, and after your child is born… I will treat the baby as my own child. You will be my sister in the future, and I will treat you very well.”

After hearing these words, Shen Qi had already understood Han Xueyou’s thoughts.

Perhaps she really had a deep love for Ye Moxuan.

“How sweet.” Shen Qi let out a chuckle with tears flowing down her face, but she didn’t lower her head.

In the past, Han Xueyou was the only person whom she was not afraid to show her tears to. But now, she felt that if she let Han Xueyou see her tears again, she would probably make fun of her.

After all, Han Xueyou’s mind was full of Ye Moxuan now.

“You only think about how much you love Ye Moxuan, but you didn’t spare a thought about my feelings at all.”

She never knew that she and Han Xueyou would fall in love with the same man, and that such a big change would happen between them because of this man.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 292

Shen Qi had never expected that all of this would happen.

“Let go.” Shen Qi’s tone became cold and decisive.

Han Xueyou shook her head and hugged Shen Qi’s legs tightly. “Qi, don’t you feel sorry for me? I will really die because of this! I will really die!”

Shen Qi bit her lower lip. In the end, she still couldn’t control the tears that flowed down her cheeks like a broken dam.

“Your life belongs to no one but you. If you don’t value it yourself, you have no right to ask others to value it.” Shen Qi bit her lower lip and gulped before suddenly turning around. “Han Xueyou, tell me why should I do that? Your life belongs to you. You called me over, telling me that you wanted to see me for one last time, and it turned out that you attempted suicide in the bathtub. I sent you to the hospital and rescued your life, but you blamed me for that. Now, you even threaten me with your life, which I just saved, saying that you don’t have the will to live anymore unless I give you my husband! Han Xueyou, if I haven’t known you for so many years, I wouldn’t have believed that this is you!” Shen Qi bellowed.

Han Xueyou remained silent, stunned by Shen Qi’s outburst. She stared blankly at Shen Qi with tears on her face and eyes that were red and puffy.

They had known each other for many years, yet she had never seen Shen Qi so agitated. Even when Shen Qi had suffered a lot after marrying into the Ye family after the divorce, she had never acted like this before. But now…

Han Xueyou was also made of flesh and blood. How could she have no feelings at all after spending so many years with Shen Qi? Seeing Shen Qi’s appearance now, Han Xueyou actually felt a little sorry for her. But when she thought of Ye Moxuan, her heart twitched.

Her desire to be with Ye Moxuan was too strong. She even thought that as long as she was with him, she would treat Shen Qi ten times better!

“Qi, I know that it’s useless to say anything now, and I know I’ve let you down. But…” Han Xueyou said as she gritted her teeth hard.

One doesn’t do things halfway. Since I have already decided to do this, I have no other way out now.

Thinking of this, Han Xueyou raised her head and looked into Shen Qi’s eyes intently before reaching out her hand to caress her lower abdomen. “Actually, there is another reason why I want to be with him. Qi, I am also pregnant.”

Shen Qi was stoned upon hearing that.

At that moment, Shen Qi thought there was something wrong with her hearing. Otherwise, how would she hear this shocking news?

Han Xueyou actually said that she is pregnant?

“The child belongs to him. Qi, you are pregnant with someone else’s child, but I am carrying his biological child. If you leave with Ye Linhan soon, maybe things won’t turn out ugly in the future.”

Shen Qi’s face turned pale, and she even forgot about the tears that were rolling in her eyes.

“You’re saying that the child belongs to Ye Moxuan?” Shen Qi asked in a shaking voice. “Do you think I will believe you? This is just a tactic that you’re using to deceive me.”

Han Xueyou finally stopped hugging her legs. Instead, she stood up from the ground after supporting herself on the floor. Then, she looked into Shen Qi’s eyes. “Qi, we have known each other for many years—I have never lied to you, and you know my character. I never make jokes about things like this.”

Hearing that, Shen Qi’s face became a little paler. Her weak body staggered back, as if she had been hit by a heavy object.

“I didn’t want to tell you this, but… I couldn’t help it anymore. Qi, even now, are you still reluctant to give him to me?”

Shen Qi couldn’t take this anymore as Han Xueyou’s words were too real. Although she didn’t want to believe it, it was highly unlikely that Han Xueyou would make jokes about this matter.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi pursed her lips and gave Han Xueyou a cold look before turning around and walking out of the room.

Han Xueyou was still holding her stomach, feeling a little smug.

It seems like she has believed me. I have to strike while the iron is hot; I just have to light the fire again.

Thinking of this, Han Xueyou covered her belly and shouted after Shen Qi, “Qi, if he had a trace of affection for you, this wouldn’t have happened. He is the Second Young Master of the Ye family. But what about you?”

Hearing that, Shen Qi paused and looked back at Han Xueyou coldly.

“Even you are implying that I’m used goods?”

Han Xueyou was stumped by her question. “I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to tell you that you and Ye Moxuan are from different worlds. If you forcibly enter into his world, you will have a very hard life in the future.”

Hearing this, Shen Qi couldn’t help herself from laughing. Her laughter lasted for a long time, making Han Xueyou a little frightened. In the end, she couldn’t help asking, “What are you laughing at?”

“So, as my best friend, you think that my pain isn’t enough that you have to personally add fuel to the fire and make things worse?”

Han Xueyou remained silent upon hearing that.

“Previously, I said that I would not forgive you, but I can understand your feelings for Ye Moxuan because I know that you simply can’t control who you fall in love with. But today, I want to take back this sentence.” Shen Qi bit her lower lip and looked at Han Xueyou firmly as she slowly enunciated her next sentence. “You are not even worthy of being forgiven, Han Xueyou. Even after being friends for so many years, I have only seen you clearly today. Starting from now, our friendship is over. You have nothing to do with me anymore.”

Han Xueyou felt as if her heart was being stabbed, and it hurt so much that she was a little out of breath. She looked at Shen Qi flusteredly. “Qi, I-I didn’t mean it! I’m telling you all this for your own good.”

With that, she even took a step forward, wanting to grab Shen Qi’s hand again.

Shen Qi took a few steps to get as far away from her as possible with an expression that was extremely aloof.

“Put away your hypocritical facade. Just based on what you’ve said today, I won’t believe you anymore.”

Han Xueyou wanted to go to her again, but she suddenly heard Shen Qi loudly call out, “Zhu Yun!”

Zhu Yun, Mr. Jin, and Su Jiu had been waiting outside all this while. After Shen Qi entered, Zhu Yun seemed to hear some commotions inside. She felt anxious, but Mr. Jin had asked her to be patient, so she had no choice but to wait.

Finally, when she heard Shen Qi calling her name, Zhu Yun, who had been paying attention to what was happening inside intently, got up and rushed in after pushing open the door of the ward.

“Young Lady!”

When Zhu Yun rushed in, Han Xueyou looked astonished. She looks like a maid who’s following Shen Qi around. Is this what Ye Moxuan has given to Shen Qi?

Zhu Yun quickly walked to Shen Qi’s side. After finding that her face was full of tears, she froze.

“Young Lady, why are you—” When the words reached her lips, she quickly stopped speaking and took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Shen Qi.

At this moment, Su Jiu and Mr. Jin also entered the ward. When Han Xueyou saw that, she hurriedly fell to the ground, crying. Since Su Jiu was supposed to be taking care of her, she had to help her up.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Qi closed her eyes and said, “Let’s leave here.”

“Sure, Young Lady.”

When Zhu Yun supported her weak body and walked out, Shen Qi felt that after walking out of that door today, she and Han Xueyou would be strangers in the future.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 293

Everything happened too sudden this time. After Shen Qi left, Su Jiu helped Han Xueyou back to the hospital bed, and she couldn’t help asking, “Why were you guys arguing?”

Han Xueyou sobbed and turned her back to Su Jiu without answering her.

Su Jiu could tell that this was not an ordinary dispute. When Shen Qi glanced at Han Xueyou before leaving, the expression in her eyes looked like she was about to sever all ties.

Su Jiu hesitated whether or not to tell Han Qing about this.

After thinking about it, Su Jiu said, “Miss Xueyou, rest well. I’ll go out and have a look.”

Hearing that, Han Xueyou wavered for a bit and suddenly ordered, “Don’t go!”

Su Jiu was a little puzzled. “Miss Xueyou?”

Han Xueyou sat up from the bed while gritting her teeth, looking completely different from her weak demeanor just now. “You must not tell my brother what happened today.”

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and blinked upon seeing Han Xueyou, who showed such a different temperament.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Han Xueyou, who was still crying a second ago, suddenly became so domineering?

“Miss Xueyou, have I heard you correctly? Are you talking to me?”

“Secretary Su, this is a dispute between me and Qi. Please don’t tell my brother, for I don’t want to worry him.”

“Is that so?” Su Jiu felt that something was wrong—Han Xueyou’s temperament changed too drastically in such a short time.

“I’m telling the truth. Secretary Su, I’m begging you.” After that, Han Xueyou stepped forward and hugged Su Jiu’s arm while looking at her innocently like a child. “I will handle it myself. Qi is just in a bad mood today. After I leave the hospital, I will ask for her forgiveness. Secretary Su, just don’t tell my brother, alright?”

Seeing her like this, Su Jiu suddenly felt that she might have misjudged Han Xueyou just now. Even if that had indeed happened, perhaps Han Xueyou was just throwing some childish temper tantrums. Thinking of this, Su Jiu replied, “Got it, Miss Xueyou. Don’t worry about it.”

Han Xueyou smiled upon hearing that. “Thank you, Secretary Su.”

After Shen Qi left the hospital, her face was pale when she got into the car, and her eyes were still red from all the crying. Zhu Yun kept giving her tissues to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, Shen Qi raised her hand to stop her. Zhu Yun was taken aback for a moment before she called out, “Young Lady?”

Shen Qi took the tissue from her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I’m fine. Let’s go back today. We don’t have to visit her anymore.”

Although Zhu Yun didn’t know what happened, she could tell from Shen Qi’s expression and tone that this was not something trivial. It was highly probable that the relationship between the two of them had fallen apart, but no one knew the reason.

Zhu Yun had a hundred questions in her mind, but after seeing how miserable Shen Qi was right now, she couldn’t bring herself to ask any of them.

Shen Qi didn’t shed any more tears. Instead, she looked at the gate of the hospital, which was getting further away, through the rearview mirror.

Starting today, Shen Qi had truly lost her best friend that she had once cherished. In the future, she would never regard Han Xueyou as a friend anymore.

…

On the same day itself, Zhu Yun thought that Shen Qi would be quite down for a long time, and it may even affect Ye Moxuan. However, she did not expect that after returning to Seabay Villa, Shen Qi recollected herself quickly. When Zhu Yun talked to her, her expression was quite distant, but her voice was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Shen Qi mentioned that she wanted to go out, but when Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin wanted to continue to follow her, she refused them directly.

“You guys don’t have to follow me around anymore. I want to go to my friend’s place to chat with her alone.”

After something like that had happened in the hospital, Zhu Yun and Mr. Jin looked at each other when they heard that, feeling worried. “Young Lady, if you don’t let Mr. Jin send you, at least let me follow you. As long as you are willing, I can accompany you wherever you go.”

“It’s really not necessary.” Shen Qi shook her head lightly. “Don’t worry, I am a grown adult—I’m not a child anymore. I’ll be fine.”

“But—”

“By the way, Zhu Yun, Mr. Jin, I know that many things have happened in the past two days, but please keep it a secret for me. I don’t want Ye Moxuan to know about them for the time being.

Zhu Yun bit her lower lip. “Young Lady, don’t worry about this. Since I’ve promised you, I won’t say a word about this. But both Mr. Jin and I are worried about you. Why don’t you let Mr. Jin send you to your friend’s place? He’ll return once he sees that you’ve arrived safely.”

Zhu Yun was very worried about Shen Qi, so she tried to persuade her. Knowing her intentions, Shen Qi gave in and let Mr. Jin send her to Yan’s place in the end. Mr. Jin only left after Yan came to pick her up.

“Why did you come here suddenly? Are you still not used to living in Seabay Villa?” Yan asked jokingly, but Shen Qi’s expression was very morose; there was no trace of joy on her face. Yan talked to her for a while before realizing that something was wrong with her, so she asked, “What happened to you?”

Shen Qi pursed her red lips and stared at her blankly. “Can I stay with you for a few days?”

Yan hesitated before asking, “Is there something wrong? Did you guys quarrel again?”

“I have something to tell you. I don’t know what has just happened, and I don’t know what to do.”

Yan noticed the melancholic expression in her eyes and nodded. “Alright, take the key and go upstairs to wait for me. I will go to the nearby supermarket to buy something. Since it’s almost evening, just have dinner with me tonight.”

“Okay.”

Shen Qi took the keys in her hand and glanced at Yan gratefully. “Yan, thank you so much.”

Although they had known each other not for long, Yan treated her really well.

Now that she thought about it, she realized that Yan was completely different from Han Xueyou.

When Ye Moxuan appeared around Shen Qi, Han Xueyou would try to get closer to him, but Yan would never do that—she always stayed away from them as far as possible, keeping a distance. Moreover, she would also tell Shen Qi about the good points of Ye Moxuan, and she had never forced her to be with Ye Linhan.

I guess everyone is different indeed.

“Oh, you don’t have to be so polite! Just be a good girl. I will need about an hour or so to shop, and it looks like you are not in any condition to be able to go with me, so I’ll just go by myself. Just go upstairs and wait for me obediently.”

After Yan left, Shen Qi went upstairs alone with the key and entered the apartment after opening the door.

Yan’s apartment was not big, but it made Shen Qi feel very warm.

She actually found a sense of belonging here.

Shen Qi put down the bag in her hand and sat on the sofa. Finally, she closed her eyes peacefully.

After some time, she fell asleep on the couch. When Yan came back later, she saw that the entire apartment was quiet. When she went to the living room with a bag in her hand, she found that Shen Qi was curled up on the sofa, sleeping.

Then, she went to the kitchen to put away her stuff and began to cook.

After a while, Shen Qi woke up, feeling hungry. She was not in a good mood at noon, so she didn’t eat much. However, she was carrying a young life inside her after all.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 294

In short, the baby was hungry too.

Naturally, she felt the hunger as well. After Shen Qi woke up, she stared at the unfamiliar scene in front of her for a while before remembering what had happened today. Then, she rubbed her eyes and got up before looking around the empty house.

“Yan?”

No one responded. Isn’t Yan back yet? Shen Qi felt confused. When she was about to call Yan on the phone, the door of the kitchen was pushed open, and Yan walked out with two plates in her hands.

“You’re finally up? Hurry up and wash your hand. We’re going to eat soon.”

Shen Qi was stunned upon hearing that. “Is it time for dinner? When did you come back?”

“It’s been a long time since I got back. I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn’t want to wake you.” Yan smiled as she put the dishes on the table and greeted Shen Qi as if she was her pet. “Qi, don’t sit around anymore. Get up and wash your hands to eat. I’ve cooked some rice and sauteed some vegetables. Why don’t you go get the cutleries now? You will need to wash the dishes later, alright?”

Shen Qi had a dumbfounded expression, but when she heard Yan saying that, she immediately recovered to her senses and stood up with a smile.”Of course.”

She got up and went to the kitchen to get some cutleries before sitting down to eat with Yan.

This was the first time Shen Qi tried Yan’s cooking, and she realized that her cooking was quite good. While eating, Yan said, “I’ve cooked several dishes which I don’t usually cook. How is it? My cooking is quite nice, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

The two of them didn’t say much during the meal—they just focused on filling their stomachs. When Yan saw that Shen Qi had almost finished eating, she asked, “You said you have something to tell me. What’s the matter? Don’t tell me that you quarreled with Ye Moxuan again.”

Hearing that, Shen Qi stopped what she was doing and raised her eyes to look at Yan.

Suddenly, she put down her cutleries and stared at Yan seriously.

Yan continued to put food in her mouth, thinking that it was a correct decision that she hadn’t asked Shen Qi before the meal; otherwise, Shen Qi would not have eaten anything.

“I don’t have anyone else to talk to. There’s no one else I can confide in except you. Yan, there is something I want to ask your opinion on.”

After Yan’s mouth was full, she picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup. “Go ahead.”

Shen Qi felt miserable because she had to keep everything to herself. She thought for a while before finally asking, “Have you always felt that Ye Moxuan and I are able to live a good life?”

Hearing that, Yan nodded righteously. “That’s for sure—you are a married couple. You love him, and he loves you too. What else are you supposed to do, if not living a good life?”

“But, what if I tell you that I’m pregnant?”

Yan was stunned for a moment, but her reaction was also quick. “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t this better? After you give birth to his child, your position will also become stable. We’ll see how Han Xueyou can sabotage your relationship then.”

After hearing that, Shen Qi suddenly felt a little sad. She lowered her eyes and spoke in a tone that seemed to be mocking herself.

“What if I tell you that the child’s father is not Ye Moxuan?”

“So what? It doesn’t matter—” Yan replied immediately, but after she said that, she stopped mid-sentence abruptly. She merely sat there with wide eyes, looking as if she was stunned.

After a long time, she swallowed the food in her mouth with a grunt before looking at Shen Qi in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I seem to have missed what you said just now. Can you please repeat it?”

Shen Qi smiled bitterly at her. “It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Isn’t it particularly hard to accept that we are a married couple, yet I am pregnant with someone else’s child?”

“It’s not like that. You…” Yan found that she was a little bit incoherent. What on earth is going on? Initially, Han Xueyou is already causing a big problem, but Shen Qi is actually pregnant with someone else’s child. Will Ye Moxuan mind?

For a moment, Yan, who encountered such an incident for the first time, didn’t know what to say to comfort Shen Qi.

“Even you find it incredulous, let alone him.” Shen Qi lowered her eyes and batted her long eyelashes while letting out an incredibly bitter laugh as she bit her lower lip. “Maybe this has been destined.”

“Wait… What the hell is going on? Why are you pregnant with another man’s child? Shen Qi, did you cheat on him?”

Yan couldn’t fathom how a married woman would be pregnant with another man’s child. Hence, she really couldn’t think of anything other than cheating.

“Actually this is not my first marriage. I have been divorced once.”

Yan was speechless upon hearing that.

“So, you’re saying that the child belongs to your ex-husband?”

Shen Qi shook her head again and opened her mouth. Since they had reached this part of the story, she had nothing to hide anymore. But the fact that the child’s father was Ye Linhan was a secret that Shen Qi would bring to the grave.

Thinking of this, she bit her lip and answered, “I also don’t know who the father of the child is.”

“What the hell is going on? Hurry up and explain! You are making me so anxious!”

Yan thought that Shen Qi just had a small fight with Ye Moxuan, but who knew that there was such a long story between them. At this moment, Yan felt anxious looking at Shen Qi’s calm demeanor, and she hoped that she could read Shen Qi’s mind to search through all her memories.

Hence, Shen Qi gave a brief explanation of what had happened to her.

“That’s it. Everything was a shock to me. When I found out about it, it was too late. At first, I thought about having an abortion, but the hospital told me that I could not have an abortion, otherwise there would be a risk of excessive bleeding. After thinking about it, I realized that the child is innocent, so I decided to keep it.”

Yan gulped hard and suddenly uttered, “Give me some time to digest this for a while. There’s too much information here. It’s a little… overwhelming.”

With that, Yan got up and directly went back to her room.

Looking at her slender figure, Shen Qi suddenly felt miserable.

After telling Yan about this, she is probably disgusted by me and will think that I am a shameless and annoying b*tch.

After thinking about it, Shen Qi sighed and got up to tidy up the table before moving the dishes into the kitchen. After all, she had promised Yan to clean up after eating.

After washing these dishes and chopsticks, I will just leave silently.

It’s better than staying here and annoying her.

Shen Qi did the dishes very quickly. After doing the dishes, she returned to the living room to get her own things and prepared to leave.

When she walked to the doorstep, she heard the door of the room open with a click as Yan walked out. When Yan saw that Shen Qi was about to leave, she asked, “Where are you going in the middle of the night? ”

Hearing that, Shen Qi’s movements stopped. Then, she turned her head to look at Yan, and her lips moved.

“I—”

Yan narrowed her eyes in confusion and looked at Shen Qi. When she saw the bag in Shen Qi’s hand, her eyes widened. “Are you leaving? What’s the matter?”

Shen Qi couldn’t speak for a while. She thought Yan hated her, so she wanted to leave quietly so that she wouldn’t be a hindrance.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 295

However, seeing Yan’s expression now, it didn’t seem like she disliked Shen Qi.

In the end, Shen Qi couldn’t help asking, “D-Don’t you feel disgusted by me?”

Yan looked at her strangely. “Why would I?”

As soon as she asked that, she suddenly came to a realization. “My God, please don’t tell me that you thought I didn’t like you anymore because I entered my room for a while. And you were going to leave silently because of that?”

Shen Qi didn’t answer her, but this was her line of thoughts indeed.

Yan was speechless with anger. “Come on! Even without hearing me out, you’ve already made all these assumptions! Do you often do this to Ye Moxuan too?” While speaking, she stretched out her arm and pulled Shen Qi back into the living room. “I went back to my room because I have never encountered such a situation before, so I didn’t know how to comfort you for a while; that’s why I went back to my room to sort out my thoughts. Now that everything is sorted out, I planned to come out to talk to you. However, you actually… thought of me as that type of person! That’s too hurtful!”

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to.”

“Forget it. Since I’m not a petty person, you’re forgiven.” Yan pulled her to sit on the sofa. “I’ve thought this through. If I didn’t hear you wrongly, Ye Moxuan knows about this, right?’

Shen Qi nodded.

“Then it’s easy. Since he knows about this, and he still shows affection to you—even allowing you to keep the child—this shows that he has already tacitly accepted this.”

Yan held her chin in deep thought. “As for what you’ve just said, I think it’s because you’ve always reproached yourself first. Just like how I have done nothing, yet you felt that you are annoying and wanted to leave. Maybe it is the same with Ye Moxuan. Qi, I told you before that you have to give him a chance to explain. From the way he looks at you, I can tell that he really loves you.”

“What if I’m not the only person he loves?”

Yan asked, “You’re referring to Han Xueyou?”

“I haven’t told you another news.”

Upon hearing that, Yan took a few steps back abruptly and clutched her chest. “You have too much news for me. I feel like I can’t take another shocking news.”

“Han Xueyou said she is pregnant.”

“And the child belongs to Ye Moxuan?” Yan answered as if it was beyond obvious.

Shen Qi was a little surprised to hear that. “How did you know about that?”

Yan scoffed. “You don’t believe it, do you?”

Shen Qi went silent at that.

“I think you are out of your mind to believe this kind of nonsense. Han Xueyou is really a b*tch; she wants to take her best friend’s husband away, and she even has the guts to tell you that she is pregnant. And you actually believed it, you fool!”

For a while, Shen Qi could not utter another word as she indeed believed Han Xueyou. “I highly doubt that she would joke about such matters.”

“Is that so? Do you truly know her? In the past, did you think she was someone who would do this to you? You didn’t predict that these would happen, yet you’re still pretending that you know her well? If she’s indeed pregnant, does she have a medical certificate from the hospital?”

When Yan said that, Shen Qi immediately felt as if she had woken from a trance, and many of her muddled thoughts became clear. Was I deceived by Han Xueyou?

However, on the other hand, Ye Moxuan said he was going to give her a satisfactory answer, but he hadn’t given her that. Why would he keep dragging it out, and what kind of relationship is there between him and Han Xueyou?

“This matter is very complicated, but I’m sure Han Xueyou is lying. If you don’t believe me, I can accompany you to look into this.”

“Look into this? How do we do that?”

“It’s very simple. Didn’t she say that she is pregnant? We can go to her to ask for proof. If there is no proof, you can’t believe her just by her words. Qi, since she is determined to steal your husband, she is definitely prepared. You must not be deceived by her. It will do you no good if your relationship with Ye Moxuan is affected.”

Shen Qi could not speak for a while, for she felt really useless. She should have been able to think clearly about such things, but her feelings and emotions got the better of her at that time, so she believed what Han Xueyou said.

“You came to me without telling Ye Moxuan, didn’t you? Quickly call him or send a text message saying that you missed me today, so you’re here to keep me company. Then, ask him to quickly come and take you back.”

While Shen Qi was still hesitating, Yan grabbed her bag and took out her cell phone. Just when she was about to call Ye Moxuan, the phone actually rang at this moment. Both of them were taken aback at the same time before they looked at each other.

Yan was always calm and mature, but after answering Ye Moxuan’s call, she immediately smiled and spoke in an obsequious tone, “Young Master Ye, good evening, are you looking for Qi? She is here with me.” She had changed into a completely different person from who she was just now—she kept using Ye Moxuan’s full name earlier, yet she immediately addressed him respectfully at this moment.

Of course, Yan was not a fool—Ye Moxuan was her boss after all. If necessary, she would flatter her boss when she wanted a raise or bonus. But when the boss was not around, she could say whatever she liked.

Meanwhile, Shen Qi clenched her fists nervously. When she came out during the day, everything was going awry, and she didn’t know if Zhu Yun really did keep her secret for her.

“Why? We are good friends, so she came to find me because she missed me. Young Master Ye, are you coming to pick her up now?”

“What?!” Yan exclaimed out loud. “I see.” Then, she hung up the phone quickly.

Shen Qi was shocked by her sudden change of tone just now and became nervous. “What’s wrong?”

Yan gave her the cell phone and answered, “Young Master Ye is downstairs!”

Hearing that, Shen Qi was shocked. He is already downstairs? In other words, he was already here before he called? Did Mr. Jin tell him about my location? Did he also tell Ye Moxuan about what happened today?

“Let’s go, Qi. I will take you downstairs so that you can go back.”

Shen Qi bit her lips and got up after her nervously. “Is it really possible?”

“Why not? Just leave behind your worries here. When you go back with him later, just treat it as if nothing had happened. As for Han Xueyou’s pregnancy, I will take time off tomorrow and accompany you to look into this. Just leave it to me.”

Although Yan looked young and petite, she was quite strong. While dragging Shen Qi out, she opened the door and pulled her outside. Then, she locked the door and led Shen Qi to the elevator.

“Remember not to tell him what happened, and be more confident! Young Master Ye really loves you. Don’t imagine nonsensical things by yourself again!”

These remarks warmed Shen Qi’s heart; Yan was really kind to her through and through. She wondered what she had done in her past life to always meet people who treated her well.

Ding! The elevator door opened, and Ye Moxuan was in it.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 296

To Ye Moxuan, he just came to pick up his woman.

She had gone out too late, so he came out to pick her up in person.

But for Shen Qi, she felt as if she had been through an apocalypse. When Shen Qi looked at him after the elevator door opened slowly, she felt as if a thousand years had passed.

She was almost separated from him again.

When he saw her wearing quite thin clothes, Ye Moxuan frowned, looking a little unhappy.

“Young Master Ye, I was just about to send Qi down, yet you are already here.”

With that, Yan even exchanged glances with Xiao Su.

Seeing Yan, Xiao Su’s indifferent face flushed red suddenly, and he did not dare to meet her eyes.

“Since Young Master Ye is already here to pick you up, you should hurry back with him,” Yan urged while pushing Shen Qi forward gently. “You don’t need to stay back so late next time. I can come over to find you tomorrow, and then we can go shopping.”

Shen Qi turned around and glanced at her gratefully. “Alright, then I will go back first.”

Yan waved to her. “Go ahead. Young Master Ye, have a safe trip back. I’ll go back first.”

After Shen Qi went into the elevator, her hand was held by Ye Moxuan immediately after walking for a few steps. Compared to him, her hand was cold; Ye Moxuan’s palm had a scorching temperature.

“Your hands are so cold. Don’t you know what the weather is right now?” he frowned and rebuked her gently before taking off his suit and handing it to her. “Put it on so that you don’t catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Shen Qi took the suit and put it on. It suddenly occurred to her that in the past, when his suit was worn by her, he threw it away, saying that it was not clean.

But now… he often gave her his suit, and he would still continue to wear it the next day.

It was as if the cleanliness freak before this was another person.

After arriving downstairs, Shen Qi took the initiative to push Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair into the car. After the two of them sat down, they did not speak. Hence, silence fell on the car. Because of what happened earlier, Shen Qi still felt very upset about that.

Although Yan had already given her some advice, she still kept thinking about Han Xueyou’s words.

Before she could determine whether Han Xueyou was pregnant, Shen Qi would have difficulty being close to him again.

“Recently, something seems to be wrong with you,” Ye Moxuan suddenly commented when Shen Qi was still engrossed in her thoughts.

Hearing that, Shen Qi was startled, and she turned to give him a quick glance.

“I don’t think so.” She denied it directly. After all, she and Yan would find out about the truth tomorrow, so it was better not to start a fight today.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi took a deep breath and pursed her lips. “I-I’ve been a bit bored at Seabay Villa recently, so I went to Yan’s to chat with her. Is there a problem?”

Is there a problem?

Ye Moxuan stared at her fiercely like a hawk. It seemed that there was no problem, but at the same time, something seemed to be wrong.

As for what the problem was, Ye Moxuan couldn’t figure it out.

But how Shen Qi had been behaving these past two days worried Ye Moxuan. He pursed his lips and did not speak any more.

Shen Qi also turned away from him. The two of them returned to the villa in absolute silence, probably because they had a little dispute just now. When Shen Qi got out of the car, she didn’t push him. Instead, she waited for him to get out of the car before following behind him.

After reaching the room, Shen Qi put down her bag. “I’m going to take a shower.”

With that, she walked directly to the wardrobe. However, when she passed by Ye Moxuan, he suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.

“If something’s up, you must tell me. I don’t want there to be any secrets between us.”

Upon hearing that, Shen Qi froze in her tracks. She suddenly turned around to look at Ye Moxuan. “Even if I tell you everything, will there really be no secrets between us?”

He said he was dealing with it, but he still hadn’t given her any answers. He, too, didn’t tell her everything.

Even if she told him her thoughts, would there really be no secrets between them?

Sure enough, Ye Moxuan was stunned immediately after hearing her words, and his thick eyebrows furrowed into a frown. When he was about to speak, Shen Qi suddenly smiled. “I know. I was just joking. How would there be any secrets between us? I have told you everything that’s on my mind. Hence , you just have to focus on your job. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Although she had already said so, Ye Moxuan’s gaze was still fixated on her. His irises were as dark as night, almost drowning her smile.

At first, Shen Qi could still keep smiling, but gradually, when the smile on her lips was about to vanish, she heard Ye Moxuan speak.

“Do you actually mean what you said?”

After returning to her senses, Shen Qi pursed her red lips and nodded.

“Of course I do. Do you think I’m lying to you?”

Ye Moxuan stared at her silently.

Shen Qi was a little disappointed. She didn’t think that she was lying to him—she just thought she was going to look into the matter tomorrow, so there was nothing wrong in saying such words to placate him today.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi turned around and left.

“I trust you.”

His voice suddenly rang behind her again, making Shen Qi pause and look back at him with a conflicted expression.

For no apparent reason, Shen Qi always felt that both her and Ye Moxuan had never trusted each other, and there was a huge distance between them. Although Han Xueyou’s words were mostly unpleasant, she was right about one thing.

Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan were from different worlds.

They were just two parallel lines. Even though their paths intersected at this moment, in time, they would still drift apart and move on.

After staring at him for a while, Shen Qi said nothing and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

That night, Ye Moxuan didn’t hug her when they slept. She shrank into a corner under the blanket on her own, staying far away from the warmth behind her. He also didn’t cling to her shamelessly like he usually did.

…

The next day, after Shen Qi got up, she went to brush her teeth as usual. After washing her face and changing her clothes, she went directly to Yan.

“How are we going to investigate? Ask Han Xueyou directly?”

“Finding her is the most straightforward way, but I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for us to confront her directly. I suddenly feel that since she has really told you that, she would definitely be fully prepared. As the Young Lady of the Han family, it couldn’t be any easier to fake a pregnancy statement.”

Hearing that, Shen Qi frowned.

“Based on our abilities and for your sake, we can’t openly ask Young Master Ye for help. Besides, I don’t have any connections, so, Qi… I’m afraid that we will have to ask Vice President Ye for help.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qi froze. Ask Vice President Ye for help?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 297

Isn’t that… Ye Linhan?

We’re going to ask for his help? Shen Qi frowned when she heard this.

“I think it’s best to find him for this. He is Young Master Ye’s eldest brother, so he is your brother-in-law. We can only ask him for help.”

“What if I don’t want his help?” Shen Qi asked.

Yan went silent for a while before giving her a feeble smile. “It’s okay. I’ve guessed that you wouldn’t agree. If you don’t want to, we will think of another way.”

“Think of another way? What you said just now made me suddenly realize the difference between me and Han Xueyou. She is the Young Lady of the Han family—her family is so powerful that it will be just at her fingertips if she really wants to fake a medical report. But, be it forging fake documents or seeing through her forgery, we don’t have the resources to do that.”

Yan paused for a moment before saying, “Well, we can’t do anything about it anyway. You can’t choose which family you’re born into.”

“I don’t blame my background; I just wonder why I should stay in their world forcibly. Obviously, I don’t belong here, and it’s just a coincidence that I’m a part of their world.”

Upon hearing that, Yan’s expression changed instantly before she took Shen Qi’s hand anxiously. “What do you mean by this? Don’t give up easily! Love can transcend time and even genetics and race. What did you mean by saying you are from different worlds? As long as you love each other, there’s no problem at all! You don’t have to think so much into it. In my opinion, you just don’t trust Young Master Ye because your situation is vastly different from the norm since you got married. If you guys gave each other more trust, you wouldn’t believe a word Han Xueyou said!”

“I know.” Shen Qi nodded. “I also really want to trust him unconditionally regardless of what others say. But Yan, I am a divorced woman, someone who has experienced a failed marriage. In those two years of marriage, I also trusted my ex-husband, but what did I get in the end? A divorce agreement, a mistress who came to me, telling me that she has been pregnant for months, and in the end… I was kicked out.”

Hearing this, Yan was moved, and her pale lips trembled. “Qi, I know you have experienced a failed marriage before, but… not every man is like your ex-husband.”

“I know. I may have done something wrong myself, but… I just can’t get past that trauma. After all, I am different now. The child I am pregnant with is not his. Even if Han Xueyou is not pregnant, if I were Ye Moxuan, I would also choose a woman with a clean background instead of choosing… used goods like me.”

When Shen Qi said this, she had a particularly bitter and mocking smile on her face. “Or—”

Yan suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Shen Qi’s mouth solemnly. “Don’t talk nonsense. Think about your purpose of coming here today. We are going to look into the matter instead of just saying frustrating things without doing anything.”

“If we don’t seek help from Ye Linhan, we probably can’t do anything.”

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Yan forced her forward. “Let’s go.”

In reality, although Yan was very bright, they had no power or influence, so they couldn’t do anything at all. They were rejected by the authorities when they asked any questions about it. No one cared about the situation of people they didn’t know.

In the end, the two of them came out of the hospital feeling exhausted with no questions answered.

After that, they found a restaurant and ordered two bowls of beef noodles. Famished, Yan took a large mouthful of the soup. “If there is really no way out, let’s go to Vice President Ye. Though he loves you, he has always been a gentleman and has never forced you to do anything. I think—”

“Yan,” Shen Qi interrupted with a solemn expression.

“Do you know that this matter is very crucial? If you find Vice President Ye, maybe—”

The relationship between Ye Moxuan and Ye Linhan was very sensitive—they were not biological brothers. Apart from that, Shen Qi could still remember vividly what Ye Linhan had told her—he wanted to take her away. If this matter was known by him now, Shen Qi really couldn’t guarantee what he would do next.

“But, I already told him.”

“What did you say?” Shen Qi thought she had heard wrongly.

Yan gulped. “When you went to foot the bill just now, I sent a message to Vice President Ye, telling him that we are here. He said that he would come over soon.”

Hearing that, Shen Qi’s expression changed in an instant. “What are you doing?”

“Qi, we don’t have to explain the truth to him. We just need to ask him to help investigate this matter. Why do you want to make things so complicated?”

Shen Qi hesitated before retorting, “You’re the one who thinks that everything is that simple.”

In the end, she lowered her eyes helplessly. Is there no way out?

People like Ye Linhan might look gentle and chivalrous on the surface, but Shen Qi felt that his true temperament was not like this. The gentleness was nothing more than a facade he used to cover up his dark side.

Since he and Ye Moxuan were half-brothers, how was it possible that they had a close relationship? On top of that, Shen Qi also felt that he was not that simple.

If he were someone decent, he would never have told her that he had intentions to bring her away.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi quickly packed up her things and got up. “Stop eating. We’re leaving here right now.”

Hearing that, Yan’s face turned pale. “Why? I have already sent a message to tell him that we’re here, and he’ll be here soon. If we leave now, aren’t we standing him up?”

“So be it. I can’t meet him. I would rather stop looking into this matter than to ask him for help.”

“Qi, why do you have to be so stubborn? Can’t you work hard for your own happiness? I told you not to overthink stuff and just trust Young Master Ye, but you just wouldn’t listen to me. Now that I asked Vice President Ye to come over, you’re not happy with that too. What do you really want? Do you still want to find out the truth, you useless coward?”

Shen Qi was rendered speechless upon hearing that.

She looked at Yan in shock. After all, she didn’t expect that Yan would actually call her a coward.

“What? Did I say anything wrong? Look at you—don’t you look like a wuss? Just because you have experienced a failed marriage, you think every man is like that. Han Xueyou was your best friend, yet she turned her back against you and betrayed you. Is it because of that, you don’t trust me either? Is that the reason you are unhappy that I asked Vice President Ye to come over?”

“Yan…” Shen Qi stared at her blankly. “Why do you think so?”

“Isn’t that the case? Because you have experienced it once, you don’t have the guts to put it behind you. Am I right?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 298

Her remarks made it difficult for Shen Qi to calm down, and her heart was already in a turmoil like the stormy sea suddenly became even more turbulent at that moment. Shen Qi looked at Yan for a long time before lowering her eyes.

“You are right, but no matter what you say, I’m still going to leave. If you want to stay here, suit yourself.”

After she finished speaking, Shen Qi turned around and left.

Yan looked at her back and shouted angrily, “Shen Qi, are we still good friends? Are you this petty?”

Shen Qi paused and closed her eyes tiredly.

Good friends? She also wanted to be good friends with Yan, but she didn’t want to have anything to do with Ye Linhan.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi didn’t give her any reply and continued walking forward. Yan thought she would look at her before leaving, but she didn’t even turn around, making Yan feel hurt and angry. Then, she quickened her pace to catch up with Shen Qi.

After taking a few steps, she saw a familiar figure walking in, blocking Shen Qi’s path.

Shen Qi didn’t expect to meet Ye Linhan head-on. She froze for a moment before walking past him, pretending not to see him.

Ye Linhan was still shocked when she saw her red eyes, but before he could do anything, she walked past him as if he was invisible. At that moment, Ye Linhan felt like his heart was stabbed by a knife.

Then, he reacted quickly and turned around to catch up to her.

“Qi!”

Ye Linhan was fast and managed to grab hold of her arm directly. Shen Qi’s expression changed, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

“Let me go!”

Seeing how she reacted, Ye Linhan couldn’t stop himself from frowning. “You don’t want to see me? Are you not happy that I’ve come to help you? Qi, do you really hate me that much? Do you hate me to the extent that you won’t even glance at me and accept my help?”

Shen Qi bit her lower lip and looked at him stubbornly. “Linhan, you have helped me many times before. I already owe you many favors—I can’t afford to owe you anymore.”

Hearing this, Ye Linhan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “So, you do know that you owe me a lot. Since you already owe me so much, it doesn’t matter if you owe me some more.”

Shen Qi remained silent upon hearing that.

Yan stood from afar, watching them from a distance. Although she couldn’t hear what they were saying, she had calmed down now. Thinking back, she was too agitated just now. When she heard that Shen Qi wanted to leave to avoid seeing Ye Linhan, it was equivalent to giving up on this mission, so she was anxious and said things that couldn’t be taken back.

“This is not how it works. I’ll pay you back for what I owe you.” Shen Qi always remembered the 300,000. Although her mother’s behavior made her very angry and disappointed, she had given birth to her after all. No matter how angry she was, she had to bear the debt.

“Since you have already owed me this, and you’ll still have to pay it back regardless, it’s fine to just owe me one more thing.”

With that, Ye Linhan took the initiative to walk into the restaurant. “Since I’m here, let’s go in.”

Shen Qi stood there, refusing to budge. Seeing her stubbornness, Ye Linhan stepped forward and directly held her shoulders to pull her in.

“Ye Linhan, let me go. Let me go!”

Hearing his name from her mouth again, Ye Linhan’s longing for her had finally alleviated.

After all, she suddenly disappeared in the Ye residence, and he couldn’t see her at the company as well. On top of that, he couldn’t even talk to her unless he had valid reasons to do so. Today, when he heard that he could finally see her again, he sped all the way there.

Finally, he saw her standing in front of him again.

However, after remembering that she had been staying with Ye Moxuan all these while, he felt a stab of pain in his heart. Pursing his lips, Ye Linhan pulled Shen Qi back to her previous position while Yan was still standing there dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Shen Qi looked grumpy.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but after remembering that she owed him a lot of favors, she couldn’t bear to do it.

In the end, she sat down again with a calm expression.

“I don’t need your help.” Since she couldn’t leave, she didn’t have to ask for Ye Linhan’s help either.

Yan’s expression changed slightly and looked at Ye Linhan. “Vice President Ye, it’s a good thing you’re here. We need your help with one important thing.”

“What is it?”

The two of them acted as if they didn’t hear what Shen Qi had said and talked to each other directly.

Shen Qi gritted her teeth angrily.

Yan started explaining. Just when she was going to describe the situation they were facing, Shen Qi interrupted her. “I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with you. I don’t need you to help me.”

Ye Linhan looked at her indifferently, but his tone was quite bitter. “What if it’s someone else? Would you accept help from anyone except me?”

Although it would upset him, Shen Qi still admitted to this ruthlessly.

“That’s right. Linhan, I’ve said countless times that I’ve already owe you a lot, and I can’t afford to repay everything if I owe you any more. So, please don’t help me in this matter.”

Yan gritted her teeth and retorted, “No, you have to help! If you do that, we will be wronged!”

Shen Qi was stunned to hear that. With a slight pause, she said, “Yan, do you have to always oppose me?”

Yan looked at her firmly. “I’m sorry, Shen Qi. Even if you will be angry, I won’t back down this time.”

Shen Qi stared at her for a long while, but she couldn’t utter another word at that moment. She just looked at her and smiled coldly. “Forget it. Since you insist on doing this, you can stay and tell him. I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, Shen Qi got up and walked out of the restaurant.

This time, Ye Linhan didn’t stop her anymore, Yan wanted to get up and chase after her, but she was stopped by Ye Linhan.

“You don’t have to chase after her. Since she wants to leave, it’s useless even if you chase after her.”

Hearing that, Yan was so anxious that her eyes reddened. “But—”

“You know what happened, right? I can still help you without her physically here.”

Yan paused and bit her lips. “If Qi is not here, you will still be willing to help?”

Ye Linhan looked at her quietly. “Of course. Just tell me what is going on first.”

Yan glanced around as she thought about how to phrase her words. She was not a fool, so of course she knew that she couldn’t tell Ye Linhan everything. She could only create an excuse.

“You’re saying that Young Lady of the Han family fell in love with your friend, and she became pregnant. However, the man left her, so she committed suicide?”

Yan nodded quickly even though she felt quite embarrassed upon hearing her summary. She didn’t know how to make stories up at all, and she didn’t know if this story would work, but this was the best she could think of.

“Are you telling the truth?”

As expected, Ye Linhan asked her this.

Yan bit her lower lip. “Of course it’s the truth. What good would I get by lying to you? It doesn’t do me any good. I just want to know if she is really pregnant. We have no way to find out from the hospital, so I just want to ask you to help me find out about that. After all, my friend is quite worried about her.”

After a brief silence, Ye Linhan nodded and said in a cold voice, “Al lright, I will help you find out about it.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 299

“Really?” Yan beamed happily. “Vice President Ye, thank you so much.”

“But…” Ye Linhan suddenly changed the topic and stared at Yan probingly. “Since it’s such a simple matter, why did Qi refuse to accept my help?”

Yan felt a little awkward, but she was determined not to reveal too much, so she explained, “Because she has accepted a lot of help from you. She also told me about the 300,000. Vice President Ye, Qi is the kind of person who will always remember those who have helped her and what they have done for her. On top of that, she will keep reminding herself that she owes people favors, so that’s why she didn’t want you to help her. I guess I can understand why she feels this way.”

Hearing that, Ye Linhan thought that it made sense. Ever since he had given Shen Qi’s mother the 300,000, she always looked uncomfortable every time she saw him. It has to be related to that 300,000.

“I’ve never thought of asking her to pay me back.”

“It is precisely because of this that she is even more upset about it.” Yan stared at Ye Linhan earnestly and sighed. “Although I haven’t known Shen Qi for a long time, she is quite a simple and pure person. She is serious, stubborn, and strong. In her world, black is black, and white is white; there are no gray areas. You probably know it already—it’s precisely because you want to help her wholeheartedly that she felt even guiltier.”

Ye Linhan looked at Yan even more gently, not expecting her to actually know Shen Qi so well.

“She probably doesn’t feel guilty, but she’s just worried that she owes me too much, and she wouldn’t be able to pay it back.”

“Yes. Actually, I know about that too. I didn’t want to trouble you at first, but I really can’t think of anyone else who can help us.”

Hearing this, Ye Linhan smiled slightly. “It is an honor for me to serve you ladies.”

“Okay, that’s all. I have to go find Shen Qi and explain to her about this.”

“All right, leave it to me.” Ye Linhan nodded. “I will update you soon.”

“Thank you, Vice President Ye.”

After Yan left, Ye Linhan’s slender fingers knocked lightly on the table as he looked at the two bowls on the table thoughtfully. Something is wrong. It seems that I have to look into this thoroughly. Maybe I can find something.

Shen Qi hailed a cab to go back to Seabay Villa. Not long after she returned to the villa, Zhu Yun came to tell her that Yan wanted to see her, and she asked in confusion, “Young Lady, I thought you went out with Yan together this morning? Why is she—”

In order to avoid Zhu Yun from overthinking, Shen Qi replied, “Maybe she left something here. Just bring her to me.”

Finally, Zhu Yun brought Yan over and left the quiet room. Shen Qi had gradually calmed down on the way back. Yan went up and hugged her arm when she saw Shen Qi. “Qi, are you still angry with me? The matter has been resolved, so don’t be angry, okay?”

“The matter has been resolved?” Shen Qi smiled bitterly. “In the end, you chose to tell him about the matter, didn’t you?”

Yan’s face turned pale, and she quickly explained to Shen Qi, “Don’t get me wrong. I’ve made up a story, so he won’t find out.”

“Are you a fool? No matter what story you’ve made up, the outcome will not change.”

“But—”

“Do you think he is stupid? Even if you tell other people about this matter, they might not even believe it, let alone Ye Linhan who is such a smart person. He can probably tell what is happening without you explaining it to him.”

Hearing that, Yan couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “I don’t think so. Why would ordinary people think like that? On top of that, he is Young Master Ye’s brother, so he probably wouldn’t think like that.”

“Well, he might not have thought of this, but he has all the power to look into this.” Shen Qi glanced at her helplessly and sighed. “You don’t know who Ye Linhan is—he is not as simple as you think he is.”

It was mainly because he disguised himself too well. If one was an outsider, they certainly wouldn’t know who Ye Linhan really was. Shen Qi only knew that both Ye Moxuan and Ye Linhan were secretly competing with each other after Old Master Ye told her about it. On top of that, from what Ye Linhan had told her before, she knew that he was definitely not as gentle as he seemed, and that he was not someone simple. What Yan had told him this time would definitely make him realize that something was wrong, and he would definitely investigate.

“Have I misjudged him?” Yan lowered her head, muttering to herself. “Maybe I don’t know what kind of person he really is, but I won’t be wrong. Because based on the way he looks at you, he will never hurt you.”

Shen Qi smiled indifferently. “Perhaps, he might do bad things out of good intentions. Forget it. Since it has already happened, I have nothing else to say.”

“In that case, will you stop being angry at me? Qi, I was really doing it for your own good.”

Looking at Yan in front of her, Shen Qi suddenly felt quite helpless. In all honesty, Yan was really doing this for her own good. Although she had tried her best to stop Yan in the process, she didn’t expect the result to be the same.

“Since it has already happened, there is nothing to be angry about,” Shen Qi said softly.

Although Shen Qi wasn’t angry, the look on her face made Yan even more fearful. The latter then took a few steps forward and grabbed her hand. “Qi…”

“It’s quite late now. Why don’t you go back first?”

Yan uttered, “I—”

“I will see you tomorrow.” Hearing this from Shen Qi, a smile spread across Yan’s face. “Will you really come see me tomorrow? Are you really not angry with me?”

Shen Qi explained helplessly, “I was too agitated just now. I know you are doing this for my own good. I will ask Mr. Jin to send you back.”

After that, Shen Qi asked Zhu Yun to take Yan to Mr. Jin. Before Yan left, she rushed over and hugged Shen Qi, reminding her to meet her tomorrow, and Shen Qi agreed.

After Yan left, Shen Qi looked at the night outside the window. I’m afraid it won’t be this peaceful anymore in the future.

In fact, even if they didn’t look for Ye Linhan, this day would probably arrive sooner or later. However, she didn’t expect that it would come so quickly.

Ye Linhan’s actions were very quick; he messaged Yan that he had an update the next day, and they also made an appointment to meet at night.

When Yan called Shen Qi, she did not refuse her meeting; instead, she agreed right away.

“Let’s meet again at night. You don’t need to come and find me during the day.”

“Alright.” Shen Qi nodded.

In the evening, when Shen Qi put on her clothes and was about to head out, she happened to run into Ye Moxuan who had come back early from the company.

Seeing her attire, Ye Moxuan asked, “Going out?”

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment before nodding, and she asked, “Why did you get off work so early today?”

Ye Moxuan glanced at her and pursed his lips. After a moment, he replied, “I’m going to a dinner party.” As soon as he said that, Xiao Su came to her and handed her a box.

Shen Qi glanced at the box with confusion written on her face. “What is this?”

Xiao Su handed the box to her, so Shen Qi had no choice but to take it. After opening it, she found that it was a dress.

“Change into this and come to the dinner party with me.”

Shen Qi paused. “But I have something else to do—I have an appointment with Yan.”

Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan frowned slightly. “You have been with her long enough for the past few days. Can’t you put that off and go to the dinner party with me?”

“But I have already promised her that I would meet her today.” Most importantly, she had a very important matter to do tonight. Why is Ye Moxuan asking me to go to the dinner party with him now? It didn’t seem appropriate to refuse him directly, so Shen Qi tried to make compromises. “Why don’t you go first? I’ll head over after I meet up with Yan later.”

“Is it that important?” Ye Moxuan who had been silent suddenly asked.

“What?”

“I’m asking—is Yan more important than me?”

Shen Qi stood rooted to the ground, staring at Ye Moxuan blankly. What is this question? She had no idea why, but at that moment, Ye Moxuan sharp, falcon-like eyes made Shen Qi feel a little guilty. His eyes seemed to have the power to penetrate her thoughts.

Is it possible that he already knows something?

Thinking of this, Shen Qi’s lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something.

After a long time, she uttered, “It’s not like that. It’s just that I have already promised her.”

“Can’t you accompany me just this once?” Ye Moxuan’s frown was so deep that his brows almost met, and his tone was extremely hoarse, sounding quite upset.

Shen Qi thought of the person she was going to meet tonight and made up her mind harshly. “I’m sorry, but I really can’t make it. Maybe another time. If you have another dinner party next time, I will definitely accompany you.”

Hearing that, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but curl his lips into a mocking smile. “‘Next time’?”

Then, he said nothing else. Ye Moxuan stared at her for a long time and suddenly said, “Just go.”

Shen Qi remained silent.

He’s fine with it? For some reason, Shen Qi thought that this was too good to be true, but after looking at the time, she realized that the time that she and Yan had agreed to meet up was approaching fast.

No matter what, it was better to figure out the truth first. If there was excess time after coming back, she would go to the dinner party to find Ye Moxuan.

“Then, I will take my leave first.”

With that, Shen Qi stepped forward and walked past Ye Moxuan. However, he suddenly clasped her fair, slender wrist when she passed him, stopping her.

“Must you go?”

Shen Qi lowered her head and looked at the hand that was on her wrist. Ye Moxuan’s fingers were slender and long, and his palm was burning her like a soldering iron. She nodded with difficulty. “Y-Yes, I-I’ll just stay with her for a while. If I still have time when I come back, I’ll go look for you.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Shen Qi felt his grasp tighten, but soon, he let go and freed Shen Qi. She wanted to look at the expression on Ye Moxuan’s face, but he turned his wheelchair around and left quickly.

He immediately disappeared around the corner. Shen Qi blinked and looked at Xiao Su who was standing beside them.

“What’s wrong with him?”

Xiao Su felt a little depressed with how things turned out. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head. “Nothing.”

Shen Qi hesitated before she asked, “Is that true?”

“Young Lady, Young Master Ye hopes you can attend the dinner party with him tonight.”

“I’m sorry, but I have already made an appointment with Yan. Why don’t you give me the address? I will rush over when I get back. When does the party start?”

Xiao Su thought for a while and told her, “The official starting time is eight o’clock in the evening.”

Eight o’clock in the evening? Shen Qi shot a glance at her phone. “It’s not even six right now. I definitely have enough time to reach there.”

After she finished speaking, Shen Qi took the box from Xiao Su. “I will take the dress first. Xiao Su, please send the address to me. I shall leave first.”

Shen Qi left soon afterward. She got into Mr. Jin’s car and left Seabay Villa. What she didn’t know was that Ye Moxuan stood by the window on the second floor, staring coldly at the car as it drove away.

…

While heading to the destination, Shen Qi looked at the time again. The meeting place that Ye Linhan had chosen was really far away. It would take her more than half an hour of driving to reach from Seabay Villa. Although it was quite early now, by the time she reached there, it would probably be past six. The journey to and fro would take a lot of time, and she didn’t know how long the conversation would last.

“Mr. Jin, can you please hurry up?”

Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn’t help urging. In fact, she didn’t want to do this if she could. After all, safety was the most important thing while driving.

However, it was just that she had been feeling a little restless today. Such feelings had been intensifying since she met Ye Moxuan and got in the car. Her eyelids had even been fluttering since leaving the house.

She had a foreboding premonition that something huge was about to happen.

The phone vibrated—it turned out that Xiao Su had sent her the address, and he added a message.

‘Young Lady, if you can make it, do come back now. If not, please make sure to be there tonight because it is a very important event tonight!’

‘Important event’? Shen Qi sent a message back, asking Xiao Su what the important event was.

Soon after sending the text message, Yan called her.

“Qi, I have arrived. Are you going to arrive soon?”

Shen Qi didn’t know the route, so she asked Mr. Jin, “Mr. Jin, are we reaching soon?”

Mr. Jin was silent for a while—it seemed that he was making rough estimations. After a while, he said, “We’ll be there soon. In about ten minutes.”

When Yan heard what Mr. Jin had said, she nodded understandingly. “All right, I’ll wait for you for ten minutes, but I’ll go in first. Just find me in the restaurant later.”

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qi saw that Xiao Su hadn’t returned her text message and thought, Maybe he’s busy with other things.

Thinking about it, she put her phone down.

When she arrived at the destination, Shen Qi saw Yan sitting in the corner as soon as she entered the restaurant. There were not many people at that moment, and Mr. Jin walked in behind her.

Thinking of what they were going to discuss today, Shen Qi stopped for a while before she turned around and told him, “Mr. Jin, you can go back now.”

“But Young Lady, don’t you still have to go to the dinner party later? I know the way around, so I can just wait for you here.”

“It’s okay. There is still some time to spare anyway, so don’t worry. I’m just afraid that you would wait for too long. On top of that, it’s not early now, so I’ll just take a cab to go there later.”

Mr. Jin looked at the time and probably thought that what Shen Qi had said made sense, so he nodded and left.

After he left, Shen Qi went into the restaurant to look for Yan.

Bored, Yan kept staring at her cell phone. When the time was up, she looked around and stood up to wave at Shen Qi. After finally seeing her, she said loudly, “Qi, I’m here!”

Shen Qi walked toward her and sat down in front of her.

“Where is Ye Linhan?”
