Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 451

“Oh my God, there’s so many.” Lin Xinghuo widened her eyes as she stared at everything in front of her in disbelief. “T-These are all your works? But why are there so many?”

Han Muzi smiled and said softly, “This is my brother’s collection. Most of them were already on the market; some have been bought, and some only made one appearance before being kept here.”

“Wow, Muzi, your brother really dotes on you.” Lin Xinghuo couldn’t help clutching her chest. After all, she didn’t expect such a cold man to be so caring. What should I do? I feel like I’m falling in love with him! Sobs!

“Let’s go.” Han Muzi took her inside. “I designed this dress very attentively, but it hasn’t been on the market since it was made, so no one has ever seen it before. Today, I will give it to you as an apology.”

Lin Xinghuo looked at the skirt that seemed to have a 3-D effect as it bounced off reflections. She was so moved that she almost cried.

“Muzi, you are so good to me. I didn’t expect that in my lifetime I would wear a hand-designed dress made by my idol! On top of that, it’s even the most precious piece. I have probably saved the galaxy in my previous life to be receiving this now! Muzi, come together with me to the press conference!”

Han Muzi thought for a while and nodded. “Okay.” Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Can I bring one more person?”

“Of course, you can bring whomever you want.” Lin Xinghuo looked at the skirt longingly with a sparkle in her eyes.

Han Muzi also glanced at the skirt. Probably this was fate. When she designed this dress, she liked it a lot. Because it was different from her previous designs, she kept it for herself to cherish. Who knew she would give it to Lin Xinghuo today?

Lin Xinghuo’s name was just like her life—shining brightly like stars in the skies. Perhaps, everything was pre-arranged by forces beyond their understanding.

Lin Xinghuo put the dress into her bag, but she didn’t take it away. Instead, she left it with Han Muzi and told them that she would put it on here on the day of the press conference.

Han Muzi agreed. After Lin Xinghuo left, she returned to the company.

When she went back, it was almost time to get off work. She packed her things and was about to go out when the lawyer came in.

“I’m sorry, Miss Han, but I’m afraid that I couldn’t accomplish what you’ve entrusted,” the lawyer said straightforwardly upon entering. “The Ye Group is not willing to discuss this, and… I think it would be easier if you settled this matter yourself.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi paused for a moment and said, “If I could settle this myself, why would I need a lawyer?”

What she said made sense. The lawyer’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t answer for a long time. Finally, he simply placed the file on the table and announced, “Anyway, I can’t handle this case. Miss Han, you should probably find someone else who is up for the job.”

“Mr. Zhang.” Han Muzi looked at him with an indifferent expression on her face. “Before you agreed to take this case, you already knew who you were dealing with. But you went ahead and signed the contract after all. Are you going to breach the contract now?”

“So what if I breach the contract? Wouldn’t it be worse if I lost my job because of such a contract?” Mr. Zhang put a bank card directly on the table. “Besides, you broke off the contract with the other party, so why can’t I do that too? I am willing to pay the penalty.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. She glanced at the card on the table and raised her eyebrows. “Triple the compensation fee?”

“No problem.” Mr. Zhang nodded while he looked at the card, feeling a pang of distress. Fortunately, the lawyer’s fees this time were not particularly high, so he could still afford it even if he had to pay her three times the amount. It was a pain to lose the money, but compared to the future of his career, this was nothing. “That’s all then. I shall take my leave now.”

Before Han Muzi could reply, he had already left. After he left, she took a look at the bank card. So, did she make a fortune by accident? Although she didn’t want to take his money, there was nothing else she could do now. Han Muzi put the bank card away and left the company.

The following day.

“The lawyer called me and said that he has already paid the penalty, so he will not deal with this contract again.” Not long after Yan went out, she ran back in and said, “What’s going on? This is too much! Just because the other party is Ye Moxuan, he’s lost his professional integrity?”

Han Muzi put down the pen in her hand when she heard Yan’s outburst. “He’s not to be blamed. I can only blame the other party for being such a pain in the neck. Even if this matter is resolved, I am afraid this won’t be the last of it.” After speaking, Han Muzi opened the bag, took out the bank card inside, and put it on the table.

“This is the penalty paid by Mr. Zhang. Transfer it to the company as public funds.”

Yan took it. “He even paid the penalty? It’s triple the original amount—it costs several million! My God, are all lawyers this rich? Doesn’t it hurt to spend so much money?”

Hearing that, Han Muzi couldn’t help but smile. “To him, his career is much more important than this money.”

Initially, if he carried out his duty to a further extent, Han Muzi would not consider this a breach of contract, let alone ask him to pay the penalty. However, he had given up too quickly and didn’t make any effort at all. On top of that, before signing the contract, Han Muzi had already asked Yan to explain to him as clearly as possible that this deal would be very difficult. The lawyers were asked to judge this themselves and only accept the job if they felt confident they could complete it. Mr. Zhang took it, but it didn’t take long before he gave up.

“So we have just made millions for doing nothing. But… what are your plans with the contract? If the other party is not willing to terminate it, won’t you still have to face Ye Moxuan?”

“I’ll set it aside for now.” Han Muzi sighed. “I have no choice, but he shouldn’t be bothering me these days.”

“Well, that’s all we can do for now; we have other more urgent things to deal with. By the way, I failed to do what you asked me to do; you may have to wait for a while longer.”

“Okay.”

While they were talking, the office door was pushed open. It was Leng Yueyue. She glanced at the two of them and walked in with an envelope.

“Is everything alright?”

“When I came in just now, someone gave me an envelope. They said that it must be handed over to you.” After speaking, Leng Yueyue walked to them and put it in front of Han Muzi.

“What is this?” Yan hurried to open it impatiently. The envelope was very big and thick. Because Yan was rushed to open the envelope, the photos inside splattered to the floor. Everyone was startled by that and squatted down to look at them.

“I-Isn’t this Zhao Yiru?” Yan stared at the person in the photo wide-eyed. “How strange! I wonder who sent the envelope. Why would they do this?”

Han Muzi stretched out her hand and took the photos. After looking at it for a while, she said, “Is there something else inside the envelope besides the photos?”

Yan rummaged through the envelope and her expression changed when she found something. “There’s this.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 452

“This is?” Leng Yueyue, who squatted beside them, also widened her eyes. “This looks like a pendrive. I wonder what the contents are.”

Han Muzi took the pendrive over and said, “Well, we’ll know after we view it.” She got up and plugged the pendrive into the computer, then opened the folder immediately. Leng Yueyue was dumbstruck when she saw this. “Is this all right? What if there is a virus in there?”

“That won’t happen.” Han Muzi shook her head. “If they wanted to harm us, they wouldn’t use such means.”

Hearing that, Leng Yueyue remained silent for a while. After thinking about it, she thought that Han Muzi’s logic made sense—if the people who sent them this information wanted to bring harm to them, they wouldn’t send a pendrive over. Who would dare to use it indiscriminately?

Both Yan and Leng Yueyue stood behind Han Muzi. After Han Muzi opened the contents of the pendrive, a video popped out.

“It’s Zhao Yiru and her manager!”

The conversation in the video was played.

“Yiru, let’s forget about this matter; it’s not very good. You are a popular celebrity. If this leaks out, it will probably ruin your reputation. Your entire career could be destroyed.” Zhao Yiru’s manager tried to persuade her.

However, Zhao Yiru did not take his words to heart and just scoffed contemptuously. “Why does it matter? Everyone knows that I am a popular celebrity, and I usually have a positive image. Even if they fabricated it, nobody would believe it; the public would only think that they are trying to take revenge on me.” With that, Zhao Yiru looked at the person opposite to her. “You’ll be responsible for carrying this out. You must find a good time to settle this matter properly and don’t leave any evidence. If there is any blunder on your side, you have to somehow chalk it up to be completely your idea. In short, I must not be implicated. After it is completed, you will have your fair share of benefits.”

The other person, who looked greedy for money, nodded with a smile. “That’s for sure. The biggest assurance we can give in this business is that we don’t betray our employers.”

Hearing that, Zhao Yiru smiled in satisfaction. “Not bad. If you do a good job, I will give you a bonus. I’m starting to get excited already. After that unknown designer’s work is destroyed, Lin Xinghuo will have no dress to wear at the press conference. She would have to temporarily find a replacement and she’ll lose to me. Just thinking about it makes me happy.” After speaking, she let out a burst of laughter that made her seem like a maniac. It was completely different from her seemingly innocent appearance.

Her manager, who was standing behind her, looked a little helpless. Since she had decided to do this, he had no choice but to look at the other person and say seriously, “Remember to do a good job and don’t leave any evidence behind, okay? Just carry out her orders dutifully. If you are caught, all the responsibility lies on you, understand?”

“No problem!”

The video ended here and Yan was full of anger at this point. “Damn, I knew that Zhao Yiru is not a good person. We shouldn’t have taken her order in the beginning. Popular celebrity, my a*s! How many people has she fooled with her innocent face? How could she be so famous in show business when she’s such a bad actress? I bet she has done her fair share of dirty deeds behind the scenes!”

Usually, one wouldn’t put too much thought into the words coming out of their mouths when they were angry. For example, even if Yan was just making assumptions, what she said wasn’t very nice. However, Han Muzi knew that the entertainment industry was very complicated. There were no innocent people in there.

“Who sent this pendrive?” Han Muzi suddenly looked at Leng Yueyue.

Leng Yueyue froze for a moment and stretched out her hand to scratch her head. “I-I don’t know who it was. He was just an ordinary-looking man. He stepped forward and handed this thing to me, saying that it is very important and that I must hand it over to you.” After saying that, she tried hard to recall. “I remember that he had a solemn expression on his face. Since many events have happened over the past two days, I didn’t hesitate and brought this over to you immediately. He probably would have left by now, and I don’t know if I can catch up to him anymore.”

“There’s no need for that,” Han Muzi said flatly. “It’s been quite a while; you can’t possibly catch up to him now. This video just helped us a lot—we now know who the culprit is.”

“We could’ve guessed it even without this video.” Yan looked at Han Muzi. “You already surmised this yesterday; this video just gave us concrete evidence.”

Leng Yueyue’s eyes widened. “Really? You are so smart!”

Hearing that, Han Muzi flashed a weak smile. “I have only returned to this country not long ago, so I know exactly how many enemies I have. I’m not particularly smart; I just narrowed the scope.”

“I see. No wonder you were so calm yesterday. In that case, the rest of the employees have wrongly accused Zhang Yu!”

“Yeah, maybe everyone is still suspecting that she is the culprit. I hope you guys can work in harmony as colleagues.”

“I know what you mean. Don’t worry, I will make it clear to everyone when I get back.”

“Good. By the way, don’t tell anyone that Zhao Yiru is the culprit yet.”

“I’m so angry!” Yan huffed while rubbing her hands together. “I was just too lazy to deal with her before, and now she’s up to such petty tricks! If you hadn’t dealt with it early, wouldn’t we be the ones suffering this time? I have to show her my true colors!” Yan squeezed the joints of her palms and quickly left.

Meanwhile, Leng Yueyue had also left.

After everyone had left, Han Muzi bent down and took out the pendrive; she stared at it pensively. Is it a coincidence? When she went to check the surveillance video yesterday, Ye Moxuan was there to help her. Today, an anonymous person directly sent the evidence to her and saved her a lot of trouble. If she had to find out about these things in person, it would be a lot of trouble. However, the HD video was now in her hands. In the video, both the conversation and the faces of the people involved were very clear.

Was this… done by Ye Moxuan? If their previous encounter was just for him to humiliate her, why did he bother to do these things to help her? However, except for Ye Moxuan, Han Muzi couldn’t think of anyone else. Ah, forget it. Sheclosed her eyes and conceded that she owed Ye Moxuan another favor.

The press conference would be held tomorrow, so she hoped that everything would go ahead smoothly. After this incident is over, she would settle everything between her and Ye Moxuan. As such, there should be a clean break between them by then. Han Muzi also wanted to question him about everything that had been going on.

Time passed quickly. In no time, a day had passed, and the day of the press conference had finally arrived. Han Muzi took Leng Yueyue and Yan along with her. As she was specially invited by Lin Xinghuo, there were a few seats reserved for her.

Yan didn’t want to come at first as she was usually not interested in such events. But she wanted to tag along this time because she wanted to see Zhao Yiru making a fool of herself at the press conference.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 453

At the dressing room backstage.

“What’s going on? Why couldn’t my dress be delivered all of a sudden? How on earth do you carry out your job? Didn’t you say that it would be delivered at this hour?”

A group of people were being scolded by Zhao Yiru until they dared not retaliate. They just stood with their heads down.

“Are you dead or deaf? Or have you lost your voices? Tell me what is going on!”

“W-We also don’t know what’s going on. It was agreed that the dress will be sent today, but—”

“But what?”

“But that dress was suddenly bought by another person, so—”

“Someone bought it? What do you mean?” Zhao Yiru’s eyes widened. “Didn’t I order the dress first? Why was it bought by someone else?”

“Yiru, when you asked us to order that dress, you only ordered it verbally without paying any money or deposit, so—”

Hearing this, Zhao Yiru slammed her hand angrily on the table. “Just because I didn’t pay any money, they won’t send it to me? This is absurd! I am a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry; how would it be possible that I would owe any money? Call the person-in-charge to come and see me.”

“Miss Zhao, please stop yelling.” A male voice suddenly rang. Followed by that voice, a man in a blue suit walked in steadily with one hand in his pocket—he was the person-in-charge of the brand this time.

“You are the person-in-charge? Chen Yi, you came just at the right time. Now, explain to me what has happened! Why wasn’t the dress that I ordered sent to me today? Don’t you know that the press conference will begin soon?”

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows. “Your staff made it clear to you just now, right? You didn’t pay any money and just booked the dress verbally. We have never made any promises to send it to you today.”

Hearing that, Zhao Yiru stood up angrily. “What’s the meaning of this? Do you think I will actually owe you money without paying you back? I have asked you to send it to me, but you did not do that! Where is that dress now?”

“It has already been bought by someone else with a high price. The person paid the full sum,” Chen Yi answered directly with a slight smile.

Zhao Yiru’s manager also stepped forward. “Chen Yi, you guys are being too much. Since you couldn’t send it to us, why didn’t you tell us in advance? It’s not like Yiru can’t afford this dress.”

“Is that so?” Chen Yi raised his eyebrows with an innocent look on his face. “Miss Zhao is unwilling to pay even 20% of the deposit, so I find it hard to believe that you will pay the full amount. After all, this is the first time that the product is going public. If anything happened to it, it would be completely worthless when we want to sell it again. Besides, I remember our company’s staff telling you that if you don’t pay the deposit, there is no guarantee that the dress will be delivered to you.”

Zhao Yiru was stumped for a moment before asking, “So you are shrugging off your responsibility now?”

“What responsibility do we need to take based on a verbal agreement? Miss Zhao, you should not use your own status as a celebrity to bully others.”

Zhao Yiru was so livid that her face had turned bluish. She gritted her teeth and tried to take a step forward, but she was stopped by her manager, who looked quite helpless. “Then what should we do now? You didn’t notify us in advance, and Zhao Yiru doesn’t have any spare clothes ready. What should she wear for the press conference?”

“This is your business—it has nothing to do with us. The reason for me coming here is just to inform Miss Zhao that this was a mistake on your part. Our company will not bear any consequences, including negative reviews.”

“You!” Zhao Yiru gritted her teeth angrily. “Aren’t you afraid that I will spread this bad review about your company?”

“Miss Zhao, if you are smart enough, you would not do this. Offending big brands is not the most sensible thing to do, and such behavior will only make other big brands shut you out.” After the confrontation, the person-in-charge took his leave.

After he had left, Zhao Yiru turned pale with anger. “What should I do now? Should I wear this to attend the press conference? Damn it! How dare Chen Yi do this to me and show me his cocky face!”

The group of people around her did not dare to speak, while her manager frowned and tried to find a way out. “The only solution is to go to other brands first to see if they can—”

“Is this Miss Zhao’s dressing room?” A female voice suddenly rang outside the door.

“Who’s there?”

Two women took a step forward and presented a specially-wrapped gift box to her. “Miss Zhao Yiru, a gentleman asked us to give it to you.”

“What is it?” Zhao Yiru was annoyed, and she was not in a good mood. Her brows were knitted into a frown when she questioned them.

Perplexed, Zhao Yiru’s manager went forward to open the box. Then, his expression changed slightly. “This is…”

“Oh my God. Isn’t this the dress from Chen Yi’s company? What’s going on? Why is it here?”

“Could it be that the person who bought the dress intended to give this to Yiru as a gift?”

Zhao Yiru was still very angry at the beginning, but when she heard that, she was stunned. Then, she walked over and found that the dress in the box was the same as the one she had chosen. How could this be happening?

“Oh my God. This person is so generous and romantic. He actually bought it directly and gifted it to you, Yiru. Is he courting you?”

“You’re such a lucky woman, Yiru! You actually have such a man who worked so hard to surprise you!”

Zhao Yiru felt quite delirious after hearing everyone’s compliments and couldn’t help but smile triumphantly. “It goes without saying, of course. There are many people courting me, you know.” She raised her head and glanced at the two girls in front of her. “What is the name of your boss who sent this?”

The two girls shook their heads. “Miss Zhao, our boss only ordered us to deliver the dress. We shall take our leave now.” After that, the two of them left without answering Zhao Yiru’s question.

“Hey, don’t leave first! At least tell me who he is!”

Zhao Yiru’s manager said, “Can’t believe he’s decided to remain anonymous. Yiru, do you have any idea who would give you this?”

“How would I know?” Zhao Yiru crossed her hands in front of her chest smugly. “There are so many people chasing after me. Maybe it’s one of them.” But this man was quite to her liking. The men who used to chase her only wanted to show off how rich they were in front of her, but none of them bought a dress designed by a major brand with full payment and sent it to her at such a crucial moment.

Although there was a great shock before that, the joy and pride afterward sent her straight to cloud nine. The envious eyes of those around her made her feel smug.

“Alright, then. Stop standing here anymore and change into it quickly. Put on some makeup and get ready to go on stage.”

“Yeah, Yiru. Hurry up and put on your makeup! The press conference is about to begin.”

“Hmph, Chen Yi, that petty fellow! When I’m free, I definitely won’t let him go after this. How dare he trample on my pride!” Zhao Yiru looked at the dress in the box with a smile on her face. As expected, she could do whatever she wanted with such a beautiful face.

It was a pity that she didn’t know that the greater the expectation, the harder the fall.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 454

When the press conference began, the lights in the auditorium slowly dimmed.

In fact, this was a new product launch. The tycoon in the jewelry industry had invited the popular celebrity, Zhao Yiru, and the award-winning actress, Lin Xinghuo.

Without a doubt, businessmen were shrewd—they would never make money-losing transactions. After inviting these two women of equal influence, with one being a popular young celebrity and the other an award-winning actress, they would inevitably be compared by the audience. In that case, there were bound to be quarrels. Once they started to quarrel, it would be hard for them to stop.

When that had happened, the businessmen would not need to spend any more money on publicity as the hard effort would be done by the fans and netizens. On top of that, the news would spread quickly and stir up a heated argument online.

“What have you done?”

Not long after the lights dimmed, Han Muzi felt that the empty seat beside her sank, as if someone had sat down.

She didn’t take notice of it; instead, she turned to Yan, who was sitting beside her, and asked her a question in a low voice.

In the darkness, Yan deliberately lowered her voice and replied in her ears, “I bought that dress directly.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi was stunned. “What?”

Worried that Han Muzi might misunderstand her, Yan quickly explained, “But I didn’t buy it with your money, I just… told Han Qing that you like the dress, so… tee-hee.”

When she finished her sentence, Yan apologized with a wide grin on her face that rendered Han Muzi speechless. “You actually went to him!”

With that, the seat next to Han Muzi seemed to sway for a bit, and then the surrounding aura became colder.

“I had no other choice—we have to save our money to buy a house, so I can’t spend your money any further. But if you don’t spend that money, you can’t take revenge. And I really can’t afford the full price of the dress, so I had to…”

After speaking, Yan reached out and tugged Han Muzi’s sleeves while saying pitifully, “Muzi, I really didn’t have a choice. Besides… I didn’t tell him anything—I just said that the dress would be a perfect match for you, so—”

Han Muzi questioned, “So you are justifying that it’s fine to spend this money for no good reason?”

“It’s not for no good reason! She destroyed our company’s dress, so we should buy her dress. As long as she makes a fool of herself at the press conference, we’ll be even!”

“So it’s alright to spend so much money to take revenge?” Han Muzi raised her eyebrows. Although she seemed to disagree with Yan’s behavior, she didn’t make it seem that way in her tone.

However, Yan still knew Han Muzi’s temper. Han Muzi wouldn’t blame her for taking any actions, but Yan knew that she couldn’t take these things for granted, so she hurriedly hugged Han Muzi’s arm. “Alright, alright, don’t be angry. I promise that this will be the last time. It is so refreshing to see her get what she deserves! Moreover, the lawyer has paid us millions because of the breach in contract. No matter what, it’s not a loss on our side!”

“You cheeky fellow!” Sitting close to her, Han Muzi couldn’t help poking Yan’s forehead.

Yan giggled and finally let go of her.

The lights on the stage were slowly turned on. The merchants of the jewelry industry held a press conference and invited two actresses to boost their fame; hence, this event should not be underestimated.

Suddenly, someone walked to Han Muzi and whispered in a low voice, “Miss Shelly, Xinghuo asked you to meet her.”

What? Meet her? Is there any problem? Although Han Muzi was a little confused, she could recognize that the voice belonged to Chen Fei, Lin Xinghuo’s manager.

“What happened?”

Chen Fei smiled. “It’s nothing big. You will know once you arrive.”

Han Muzi nodded and then got up to go outside.

However, her surroundings were simply too dark. When she got up, she could only walk to the left, for it was closer to the main aisle. But when she got up, she found that the leg of the person beside her actually took up all the foot space in front of them, so Han Muzi couldn’t walk past.

The lights were all focused on the stage; only a small amount of light had reached the audience.

Han Muzi finally looked at the person sitting beside her. With the dim surroundings, she could only make out the person’s prominent facial features and tall figure. It looked like a man.

“Sir, I’m really sorry. Can you please move your legs a bit and let me through?”

Faintly, Han Muzi felt that the outline of this man seemed a little familiar.

He looked like someone from her memory. However, as soon this thought popped up, she immediately suppressed it.

Impossible.

Today is the press conference of the jewelry industry. How is it possible for that man to be involved?

Am I thinking about him too much?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi quickly shoved the man out of her mind and recovered to her senses.

Han Muzi was a little confused after that man did not show any reaction. “Sir? Can you let me through?”

At this moment, the man finally moved his straight and slender legs away. Han Muzi breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out.

She was still wondering if the man deliberately prevented her from going out. Now, it seemed that she was overthinking. He probably didn’t respond just now because he didn’t hear her.

After taking a few steps, Han Muzi seemed to experience some uncanny premonition and stopped to turn her head involuntarily.

“Miss Shelly, this way, please.” Chen Fei’s voice rang in front of her. Han Muzi returned to her senses and nodded as she continued walking forward.

“Mind the steps.”

After leaving the audience seats, Han Muzi followed the figure in front of her for a long way before finally getting out of the hall to the corridor.

As the lights in the corridor were warm yellow, Han Muzi was not taken aback after walking out from the dark surroundings immediately. She finally saw everything in front of her.

In fact, when she was back there just now, she really didn’t like the feeling of being unable to see.

Although there were some lights, she couldn’t see anyone clearly.

“Shelly, there’s still twenty minutes to go before it’s Xinghuo’s turn to go on stage, so she has invited you for dinner together.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi stopped immediately. “Dinner together?”

“Yeah, that girl is starving.”

Han Muzi followed Chen Fei to Lin Xinghuo’s dressing room and finally saw her clearly.

Her makeup was done, and she had also put on her dress. She was just waiting for her turn to go onstage.

At this moment, she was supposed to sit backstage and wait quietly, or she could check if there was anything wrong with her looks. However, she actually lifted her skirt up and sat in front of the table while gnawing on a skewer of meat in her hand.

Hearing Han Muzi’s footsteps, Lin Xinghuo raised her head.

“Muzi, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time. This is the dinner that I ordered. Come eat together.”

Lin Xinghuo put down the skewer in her hand and got up to walk toward Han Muzi while attempting to hold her dress up.

Seeing that her oily hands were about to touch the layered dress, Han Muzi suddenly narrowed her eyes and shouted, “Don’t move!”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 455

As soon as Han Muzi yelled out, Lin Xinghuo stopped all her movement abruptly, as if she had been stunned. However, as she was halfway standing, she looked stuck in her actions. It was quite an amusing scene.

The others wanted to laugh, but Han Muzi walked over with a serious expression on her face.

After glancing around the surroundings, she took a few wet tissues to tug Lin Xinghuo’s hands up and wiped off the oiliness from her hands with the wet tissues. After Lin Xinghuo saw her actions, she felt incredibly anxious.

This dress was given to me by my idol, and it is a very precious work of hers.

However, she was so excited that she had forgotten about it. Lin Xinghuo suddenly felt a little guilty. Even though her posture was uncomfortable, she kept holding still.

She remained still until Han Muzi took a few steps back and said quietly, “It’s done.”

Lin Xinghuo finally put her hand down. Then, Chen Fei walked over to her quickly. “I’ve told you to stop eating, but you just wouldn’t listen.”

Lin Xinghuo looked at Han Muzi guiltily. “I’m sorry, Shelly. I really didn’t mean to do that just now. You won’t be mad with me, will you? I was just too happy to see you coming, and I just wanted to welcome you. That’s all.”

“I’m not mad.” Han Muzi shook her head faintly. “I didn’t know you when I designed this dress, so I didn’t know your size. Nevertheless, I didn’t expect the cutting to fit you almost perfectly, but… if you continue to eat, you might not fit in anymore.”

Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo’s expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly turned toward the people around her.

“Who sent this food for me? I didn’t even say that I want to eat this! Hurry up and get all these things out!”

She shirked her responsibilities to other people immediately before smiling and holding Han Muzi’s hand.

Han Muzi stepped back to avoid her approach, causing the smile on Lin Xinghuo’s face to freeze. “Shelly?”

“You must pay attention to your dress. Just stay put before going onstage and don’t let it be caught by anything.” Han Muzi’s outfit today had zippers, so she avoided Lin Xinghuo so that the dress wouldn’t get stuck in that.

“Alright, then. I promise you I won’t mess around again. I will sit and wait until I get onstage.” Lin Xinghuo ran to the sofa and sat down while the things that were on the table were quickly removed, and the room became empty after a while.

Looking at this, Chen Fei couldn’t help clearing his throat slightly. It was quite unexpected to see that Lin Xinghuo would be so obedient toward Han Muzi.

She was the idol of many people, but her fans would never have thought that their idol was also the fan of someone else.

It was really unexpected.

…

Han Muzi checked the dress for Lin Xinghuo. After confirming that there was no problem, she said, “Just stay here for a while. It’ll be your turn soon. Remember to perform well later.”

Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. By the way, do you know Zhao Yiru? I honestly don’t know why that woman is so lucky. Someone actually bought the dress from KL and gifted it to her.”

Han Muzi suddenly stopped her movements, and she couldn’t help looking at Lin Xinghuo.

“What did you just say?”

“You are also surprised to hear that, huh? I can’t believe that she has such luck!” Lin Xinghuo shrugged in exasperation. “She actually has a bad habit that is known in the entertainment industry—she always orders her dress without paying any deposit because of her fame as a celebrity; she only gave verbal promises. On top of that, she has a temper, but small brands dare not offend her. But look at KL! That is a well-known international brand, so they will not give her any face, of course. When someone offered to buy the dress at full price, of course they sold the dress off. We thought that Zhao Yiru would have a hard time this time around, but unexpectedly, a man bought it and gave it to Zhao Yiru. After hearing this, I almost vomited blood.” After finishing her sentence, Lin Xinghuo was indignant. “She is just an idiot with a big bosom. She doesn’t deserve this at all! Besides, the dress is so pretty! I bet that man must be blind to have bought it for her!”

Lin Xinghuo was lamenting in an angry tone.

However, Han Muzi was puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

Just now, Yan told her that she had asked Han Qing to buy the dress, but why did someone else give the dress to Zhao Yiru?

Is Han Qing the one who gave Zhao Yiru the dress?

No way.

It’s impossible.

According to Han Qing’s character, it was impossible for him to do such a pointless thing.

Moreover, to him, his sister was the most important. If Yan told Han Qing that this dress would suit Han Muzi well, he would never give it to others.

However, what is going on now? That dress… was in whose hands? And it actually ended up on Zhao Yiru?

Does this mean that Yan will be disappointed again, after everything that she has done?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi stood up abruptly.

“I have been here long enough. I have to go back.”

Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo blinked. “So soon? I thought you could stay with me for a while. That’s fine, then. Fei, please send her back.”

“Thanks, but no thanks.” Han Muzi shook her head. “I know the direction. All the best for tonight.”

“Don’t worry! I will definitely work hard to defeat Zhao Yiru!”

After bidding farewell to Lin Xinghuo, Han Muzi walked back. When she entered the press conference hall, she realized that the lights on the audience seats were not as dim as before. It was turned off just now for the effects.

At this moment, she could already walk with perfect eyesight. So, Han Muzi made way to her seat. However, she suddenly stopped abruptly when she was about to arrive at her seat.

To the left of her empty seat were two women whom she knew—Yan and Leng Yueyue.

But to the right, it was a tall and slender man.

And this wasn’t any other man.

It was the man whom Han Muzi thought would be the least likely to be here—Ye Moxuan!

Why is he here? And he is even sitting beside me?

Han Muzi stood there blankly, feeling a little surprised.

What exactly is going on?

When they were in the dark before this, she felt that his silhouette was familiar. Was this the actual reason?

“What are you doing? You are blocking our sight by standing here!”

Suddenly, someone complained behind her. Han Muzi returned to her sense and bit her lips as she walked forward. To reach her seat, she had to pass in front of Ye Moxuan.

At this moment, she had already seen who he was. She thought he would move his foot when she walked over, but she didn’t expect that he would still be motionless.

Han Muzi tolerated for a while before whispering, “Mr. Ye, can you please move your feet?”

Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her without saying anything. He merely moved a little, allowing Han Muzi to pass through.

Yan, who was sitting beside them, watched this scene unfold nervously.

When the lights were on, she was beyond shocked when she saw Ye Moxuan sitting here. At that moment, she thought, Why is he following us around? She wanted to send a text message to Han Muzi, but when she took the phone out, she felt a sharp look in her direction, which intimated her so much that she put her phone back.

Han Muzi originally thought that she could walk there smoothly, but who knew that the heel of her shoe suddenly broke at that moment, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 456

When Yan and Leng Yueyue saw this, their faces turned pale in fright, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

It happened so suddenly that Han Muzi didn’t even know that her heel would suddenly break at this moment, and there was nothing to hold on to, so her body fell to the side uncontrollably.

She even wondered if she would knock her head, so she subconsciously reached out her hands to protect her face and her head.

However, just when her hand moved, it was firmly grasped by another person.

In the next second, she fell into Ye Moxuan’s arms.

The atmosphere seemed to have frozen at this moment. The shocked expression was still etched on Yan and Leng Yueyue’s faces; both of them looked as if someone had hit the pause button.

Han Muzi thought that she would fall and result in some injuries. However, there was no pain at all; instead, she fell into a pair of warm arms. The strong masculine aura that belonged to Ye Moxuan engulfed her as he loosened his grip on her wrists and grabbed her waist instead. Then, he used another hand to pinch her chin and forced her to raise her head.

“Are you all right?” His voice sounded anxious, and his face turned pale with a terrified expression on it.

Han Muzi still felt fear lingering within her due to the sudden accident. Her heart thumped quickly as she shook her head subconsciously.

“I-I’m fine.”

Ye Moxuan looked at her for a long moment before suddenly stretching out his hand to hug her into his arms.

Click!

At this time, the lights on the stage were turned off for some special effects, and the hall was plunged into darkness.

It was quiet everywhere—so quiet that Han Muzi could only hear the heartbeats of Ye Moxuan and herself.

She was held tightly in his arms by Ye Moxuan, and the temperature on his body continued to transfer to her and surrounded her. Ye Moxuan hugged her into an even tighter embrace, and his strength was so strong that she felt as if her bones were almost crushed.

However, for some reason, Han Muzi didn’t push him away.

At this moment, she suddenly felt Ye Moxuan’s nervousness when he did this.

When he caught her just now, his pale face showed that he was anxious about her.

The music sounded like quiet chimes that hit on Han Muzi’s heart, beat by beat.

The man holding her also stopped moving in that instant, and it took a long time before he lowered his head. Apart from that, his thin lips seemed to have fallen onto her hair as he gave her a kiss.

The sudden touch made Han Muzi return to her senses immediately, and she suddenly realized that she was still in Ye Moxuan’s arms. When she thought of what he had said to her before, she managed to pry open Ye Moxuan’s embrace and escaped from his arms.

“Thank you, Mr. Ye.”

Han Muzi sat down in her seat in shock before realizing in annoyance that her heel had broken.

What is going on? Is the quality of the shoes I bought this time so poor?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi pursed her lips and thought about what she should do about this. However, at this moment, Ye Moxuan’s low voice rang in her ears.

“Just a simple ‘thank you’ is not enough.”

When his warm breath caressed her earlobe, Han Muzi frowned slightly in the dark.

She bit her lower lip and pretended that she did not hear Ye Moxuan’s words.

After that, the activities on the stage began with the audience still looming in the dark. Everyone was seated silently. Meanwhile, Yan and Leng Yueyue, who sat beside Han Muzi, were probably shocked by the change in events, so they kept quiet and did not speak.

If Han Muzi did not know for a fact that they were sitting next to her, she might have thought that she came to the event alone.

As time ticked by, the performance on the stage was over, and the stage fell into silence again. Han Muzi roughly estimated the schedule at this time—Lin Xinghuo and Zhao Yiru were about to go on stage.

Since the sponsors had arranged for them to appear together, there would definitely be a drama later.

Han Muzi couldn’t help glancing in Yan’s direction.

Yan came here today to see Zhao Yiru embarrass herself, but she suddenly got the news that the dress was bought by someone else in full amount and was delivered to Zhao Yiru. Han Muzi didn’t know what had happened either.

Nevertheless, Yan might be disappointed tonight.

When the background music rang, Zhao Yiru and Lin Xinghuo slowly appeared in the middle of the stage, each on one side.

In order to match the dress on Lin Xinghuo, the sponsors gave her the most special style of the year, while Zhao Yiru only got the pre-agreed jewelry.

With the shouts of the fan in the audience, the atmosphere that night was very heated indeed.

The appearance of Zhao Yiru and Lin Xinghuo became more and more clear under the lighting. When Han Muzi saw the navy blue dress on Zhao Yiru, she found out that it was completely different from the cerulean blue on Lin Xinghuo.

However, there were some intricate similarities.

At this time, a huge shock came from the seat next to her.

It was Yan, who stood up directly from her seat and looked at Zhao Yiru’s dress with agitation. How could this be happening?

“Who’s that? Why did she stand up suddenly?” someone complained behind her, and Han Muzi quickly pulled Yan down.

After Yan sat down, sorrow was written all over her face as she grabbed Han Muzi’s arm and gritted her teeth in anger. “Muzi, what’s going on? That dress…”

Han Muzi had heard Lin Xinghuo mention this before, so she was quite calm. She replied softly, “Since this has already happened, even if we have any questions, we should just wait until everything is over.”

Yan was livid. But after hearing Han Muzi say this, she suppressed the resentment within her. Nevertheless, she felt like she couldn’t sit still anymore.

Of course, Han Muzi knew that she was angry at this moment. However, since everything was set, there was nothing they could do to change it. She could only whisper, “Don’t be angry. We will talk about it later.”

When everything had ended, the lights were all lit up because there was an interview session.

Reporters from major media interviewed the two people on stage and then took a few photos for five minutes.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan said angrily, “What’s going on? That dress was bought by someone else, wasn’t it? Why is it on her now? What the hell is going on, Muzi?”

Han Muzi remembered what Lin Xinghuo had said to her, so she told Yan about it.

“That’s how everything went. I don’t know the rest.”

“Damn! That’s impossible! Han Qing bought the skirt! Is it possible that he gave it to Zhao Yiru? F*ck! Why is his taste so awful that he actually gave the skirt to Zhao Yiru?”

Han Muzi paused for a moment before saying, “It’s not him. This matter is a bit complicated, so let’s see how things unfold before we talk about this.”

Although Yan was very angry, she didn’t ask any more questions when she heard Han Muzi say that. She just thought depressedly, If Han Qing really gave Zhao Yiru the skirt, I will not treat him as my crush in the future anymore.

My crush would never do such a despicable thing!

At this time, the interview session on the stage had already begun.

Some of the people probably wanted to stir things up, so they asked Zhao Yiru an explosive question.

“Miss Zhao, I heard that you attended the product launch press conference today because you like this jewelry brand. But if you like this jewelry brand so much, why did you wear a high-quality counterfeit dress for the occasion?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 457

That question immediately made the atmosphere there become turbulent.

“What?” Yan, who was still morose from just now, opened her eyes wide when she heard these words. “Counterfeit? What do you mean?”

Han Muzi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. High-quality counterfeit dress?

She looked at Zhao Yiru’s blue dress carefully. Because of the lighting on stage just now, she only felt that the color of the skirt was not particularly beautiful. Without the additional lights now, the shortcomings of the counterfeit dress were exposed.

Under the white light, numerous shortcomings were revealed.

Is it a high-quality counterfeit?

Qing gave it to her? Thinking of this, Han Muzi couldn’t help curling her lips into a smile.

Since when has he become so sinister?

While she was thinking about this, she felt a scorching gaze coming from her side that was so powerful that she could not ignore it.

Han Muzi quickly retracted her slight smile and then pressed her lips together as she looked at the stage with an indifferent expression.

After Zhao Yiru was asked such a question by the reporters on stage, the smile on her pretty face froze, and then the corners of her mouth twitched. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by counterfeit? I’m wearing the real deal, okay?”

She did not believe that she was wearing a high-quality counterfeit because Chen Yi had told her that the skirt was bought by someone else at a high price. Not long after he left, someone sent the skirt to her, which made her quite proud for a long time. Now that someone else said she was wearing a fake, of course Zhao Yiru disagreed to that.

Reporters from the entertainment industry were all trying to dig out whatever juicy news available; they didn’t care about anyone’s reputation at all.

After seeing Zhao Yiru’s expression change, not only did the reporter not try to keep it down, he became even ferocious.

“Miss Zhao, don’t you know about this? The genuine version of this dress has been purchased by the president of Han Group, and that is the only dress of this style. If this dress you’re wearing is not a high-quality counterfeit, could the company have made two dresses of the same style?”

Hearing that, Han Muzi, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned for a while as she didn’t expect that the news traveled so quickly.

Zhao Yiru’s face turned pale upon facing the question from the reporter, and she didn’t know how to react for a while. However, at this moment, her manager responded quickly and went on stage. “Sir, I think you may have misunderstood. How could this dress be a counterfeit? Everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes here. Moreover, the information you received may not be true. After all, they are from two different circles. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that the dresses are similar to each other. Let’s close the topic now. Please ask other questions.”

This incident could have died down quickly, but their opponents were reporters of the entertainment industry—they were not so easy to be dismissed. Hence, instead of retreating, the questions they asked became even sharper.

“So you’re saying that the president of Han Group is a liar? The styles of both the dresses are obviously the same with its name labeled on it. How can they be just similar?”

Zhao Yiru was livid, but she heard the reporters say that the dress was bought by the president of Han Group, whom she knew was Han Qing. And the dress was sent by an anonymous person tonight.

Could it be… that Han Qing, who was famous for his indifference and self-control?

As soon as she thought of this, Zhao Yiru’s mood immediately became turbulent. If Han Qing really bought the dress, does this mean that he was the one who gave it to me? This was quite unexpected, as she thought that the person who gave her this was just an ordinary person who liked her; she didn’t expect it to be Han Qing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiru cleared her throat and said directly, “I’ll tell you the truth—actually, this skirt was not ordered by me. Before the start of the event today, I received news from the clothing brand that this dress was bought by someone else at a high price. I was shocked to hear that, as I was worried about what I was going to wear on stage later. But, after a while, an anonymous person sent this dress over. To tell the truth, I don’t know the person who bought this dress before you told me about this. It was given to me by an anonymous person.”

When she said that, Zhao Yiru’s eyes had a smug look.

Everyone there felt a little wistful upon hearing that.

“Could it be that this skirt was actually given to Zhao Yiru by Han Qing, the president of Han Group?”

“No way! I heard that Han Qing hasn’t taken any liking to any woman until now! Why is he suddenly treating Zhao Yiru differently?”

“Could she be lying?”

The more this topic was discussed, it became more heated.

At first, everyone thought she was wearing a counterfeit, so they looked down on her. But now, they found that she was not wearing a counterfeit, but that someone else bought her the dress in full amount. The most important point was that this person was the president of Han Group.

In North City, there was not a single soul who didn’t know about Han Group!

Hence, many people suddenly became envious when they looked at Zhao Yiru.

The spotlight of the day was completely taken away by Zhao Yiru as many people rushed to get the microphone in front of her.

“Could you share how you met Han Qing, Yiru? Such an eligible person has gifted you a dress—does he fancy you?”

Zhao Yiru smiled shyly and answered softly, “I’m not sure about this. If you want to know, you can ask him yourself.”

“Yiru, can you tell us about your mood right now? Are you excited or?”

“My mood? Well, I would like to thank President Han for giving me this dress. I-I like it very much.” Zhao Yiru smiled shyly and looked at Lin Xinghuo with a smug look in her eyes.

At first, Zhao Yiru almost went mad when she saw the dress on Lin Xinghuo.

I have already torn the dress apart. But why is she wearing a better-looking and more outstanding one? Before they switched focus to Zhao Yiru, a lot of reporters flooded in front of Lin Xinghuo.

However, beautiful things would always become vulnerable to public opinion.

The people from the jewelry brand realized that the point of this event had been distorted, so they cleared their throats and said, “Everyone, I know you care about the private lives of the celebrities, but today is the press conference of our company, so I still hope you can pay attention to all the jewelry on Miss Zhao. The questioning session is over now. Next, Miss Zhao and Miss Lin, please go to the center of the stage to take some pictures.”

Zhao Yiru smiled and nodded. “The host is right. I hope everyone can pay more attention to the brand.”

“How fake! Bleh!”

Yan, who was in the audience, scoffed Zhao Yiru fiercely. “This person is really disgusting. Don’t tell me that she really thinks that Han Qing was the one who gave her the dress she’s wearing! She doesn’t deserve it at all!”

Han Muzi was also a little confused. After all, she hadn’t expected that this was how everything would turn out today.

“What’s going on?”

Leng Yueyue held Yan’s arm with a sullen expression on her face. “I also want to know what is going on. Look at Han Qing—how is it possible that someone like him will fancy Zhao Yiru? And…”

She glanced at the slender man with a strong aura beside Han Muzi and couldn’t help gulping hard.

The scene where Han Muzi fell into his arms just now really frightened her, since the man was Ye Moxuan…

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 458

Forget it. Too many things has happened today. To Leng Yueyue, this was like a dream.

She never thought that she would be invited to the actual event. After seeing what had happened, Leng Yueyue did not feel depressed because of the destruction of her design anymore.

After she took a few more photos, this trip would be worthwhile.

After all, she had the opportunity to meet Ye Moxuan and the famous celebrities, Zhao Yiru and Lin Xinghuo.

When she was still an unknown designer in the past, although her work was brilliant, she could not be compared to the best teams, let alone have such opportunities.

After taking the group photo, an observant person suddenly noticed that Lin Xinghuo’s skirt was very special.

“Miss Lin, the dress you are wearing today is so special. If I didn’t remember wrongly, this seems to be the work of the designer overseas, Shelly, isn’t it?” he spoke.

Lin Xinghuo had already left the stage, but she stopped when she heard this question. Zhao Yiru, who was behind her, also stopped and looked at Lin Xinghuo in confusion.

Lin Xinghuo smiled slightly. “You have a sharp eye. This is indeed Shelly’s design.”

“I have seen this design when I participated in a few events abroad. I heard that it was bought by a mysterious person for a huge amount of money as soon as it was released. It has never been seen since then. Many people asked for it, you know! But Miss Shelly has never designed another similar work again. How did you get this, Miss Lin? Could it be that you were the one who bought this with a huge amount of money?”

Lin Xinghuo blinked and looked at Han Muzi in the audience, who shook her head slightly. Then, Lin Xinghuo reacted and laughed softly, “Well, you’ll have to guess the answer to that.”

Initially, she wanted to bring Han Muzi onstage, but she respected Han Muzi’s wishes—after all, she didn’t want to be exposed. Lin Xinghuo just gave the public a vague answer, neither denying nor confirming it.

Then, she waved her hand, picked up the hem of her dress, and gave it a twirl.

“Well, the event is over. My dear fans and reporters, let’s meet some other time.”

After speaking, she headed backstage while lifting her dress.

When many reporters saw this, they immediately rushed away from the venue with their cameras in their hands, ready to wait for her backstage.

When Zhao Yiru saw this, she became furious immediately, but she was stopped by the manager beside her.

“We’re still at the event. Let’s go quickly so that we won’t be photographed!”

“Hmph! So what if her dress was the work of a designer? Who is Shelly, after all? How come I have never heard of this person? They are just making a mountain out of a molehill. I don’t even bother to look at them.”

With that, she turned and left. When she saw the skirt on herself, Zhao Yiru thought of Han Qing, and the corners of her lips twitched into a triumphant smile.

When I become the Young Lady of Han Group, I will outshine everyone here.

…

Seeing that the event was coming to an end, Han Muzi planned to get up and take Yan and Leng Yueyue to leave. However, just when she was about to get up, she felt someone grab her wrist. Before she knew it, she was pulled back to her seat.

Turning her head around, she saw Ye Moxuan holding her hand while he stared at her thoughtfully.

“What are you doing? Let go of me,” Han Muzi chastised unkindly.

Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes. “You’ve changed your mind so quickly?”

Upon seeing this, Leng Yueyue and Yan blinked and returned to their seats, as if they hadn’t seen anything.

Many people around them turned to look at the pair. Han Muzi felt a little embarrassed and wanted to avoid their gazes, so she lowered her voice and said, “Hurry up and let go. Everyone is watching us. We’re at a press conference; do you want to be recognized?”

“So what if they recognized us?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows.

Indeed, Ye Moxuan was at the center of spotlight wherever he went, so he was not worried about being recognized.

In fact, he thought that it would be even better if he was recognized. He would have more limelight on himself.

“Nevermind.” Han Muzi took a deep breath. “Can you let me go first? I’m about to leave,” she whispered.

“Sure.” Ye Moxuan stared at her fixedly like a gangster. “If you add me on WeChat, I’ll let you go.”

Upon hearing this, Han Muzi remained silent.

She even thought she had heard him wrongly.

He stopped me just to ask me to add him on WeChat? What’s going on?

Han Muzi blinked. “What did you just say?”

“You blocked me.” Ye Moxuan still felt resentful when he said this. He had remembered that until now, and he hoped that Han Muzi could add him back on WeChat.

Therefore, this was a rare opportunity for him.

With that, Ye Moxuan even took the phone out and opened the WeChat application.

Han Muzi asked, “If I add you as a friend, you will let me go?”

After asking, Han Muzi felt that something had gone wrong in her. Why did I ask such a question?

“Probably. Get your phone out quickly,” Ye Moxuan urged her.

Han Muzi paused and looked back at Yan and Leng Yueyue.

Leng Yueyue blinked and uttered innocently, “It’s just adding him on WeChat. You have nothing to lose anyway. Just do it.”

Seeing this, Yan also nodded in agreement. “She’s right. Muzi, hurry up.”

Those two traitors.

Han Muzi glared at them privately before taking out her phone grudgingly. As she had blocked Ye Moxuan before, she had to open the list of blocked contacts in front of him and drag his contact out of the list.

“Are you happy now?”

“You haven’t added me yet.” Ye Moxuan sent a friend request immediately. Then, his tall body leaned over to her, sending a wave of strong masculine aura from his body. “Quickly accept it.”

His expression resembled a kid who wanted candies from his parents. Though Han Muzi felt a little helpless, she quickly clicked on ‘Approve’.

“Happy?”

Upon seeing that his request was accepted by her, the corner of Ye Moxuan’s lips was twisted into a beautiful arc before he growled coldly, “You are not allowed to delete me after you go back!”

Han Muzi stuttered, “H-How—”

She was about to ask, ‘How did you know?’. But after thinking about it, she thought it was unnecessary, so she just nodded.

“Fine, I won’t delete you from my contacts. Can we go now?”

At this moment, Ye Moxuan moved his legs away with satisfaction. Han Muzi breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave.

When she stood up, she realized that the heel of her shoe was broken. She got so engrossed when she talked to him just now that she had forgotten all about it.

“Oh, no. Muzi, your heel is broken! What should we do?” Yan exclaimed.

Han Muzi sat down again and glanced at the heels of her shoes quite crossedly.

She simply took off the other shoe and took it in her hand. With her fair feet stepping on the cold floor, she whispered, “I’ll walk just like this.”

When Ye Moxuan, who was beside them, saw this scene, he thought that her fair feet were extremely attractive and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

In the next second, he suddenly got up and carried the barefooted Han Muzi in his arms by her waist.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 459

“Ahh!” A woman let out a shrill exclaim loudly, but it was not Han Muzi; instead, it was Leng Yueyue, who was holding Yan’s arm.

Everyone suddenly looked over to their direction. Upon seeing this, Han Muzi’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly turned to Ye Moxuan and whispered, “Let me down! What are you doing?”

Ye Moxuan frowned. “Don’t your bared feet feel cold? I’ll take you out in my arms.”

Han Muzi replied, “You don’t need to carry me. I can walk on my own. Just let me down!”

However, Ye Moxuan did not give her a chance to refute at all. He simply walked out holding her, causing the attention on stage to be diverted here. Han Muzi struggled for a while before eventually giving up and plunging into Ye Moxuan’s arms. She then reached out and pulled his collar to cover her face.

There were many reporters here, so it would be troublesome if they were photographed.

However, Ye Moxuan was not afraid. As long as she hid her face well, everyone would only know that Ye Moxuan hugged a woman in his arms. None of them would know that the woman was Han Muzi.

Apart from that, her actions did not make Ye Moxuan feel annoyed. On the contrary, he was happy to see that she relied on him and took the initiative to approach him. His thin lips were slightly curved as he strode forward.

On the other hand, Leng Yueyue and Yan were stunned for a good five seconds before they returned to their senses and quickly got up to follow him outside.

Some unknown reporters yelled out loud, “It’s Ye Moxuan, the business tycoon! My God, it’s Ye Moxuan of the Ye family in North City!”

“Who is he holding? Quick, take a picture!”

The spotlight quickly shone on the two of them. Leng Yueyue and Yan, who were behind Ye Moxuan, subconsciously raised their hands to block their faces, but they quickly realized that the ones being photographed were Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi, not them.

After realizing that, they put their hands down again.

Even though Han Muzi was buried in Ye Moxuan’s arms, she could feel many cameras shooting frantically at them. Her body was tensed up, and she felt speechless at such an occurrence while thinking that the media were too gossipy.

Is the charm of Ye Moxuan actually greater than those celebrities and jewelry? Why didn’t they take pictures of them but come to photograph Ye Moxuan instead?

“Tsk.”

As she was thinking about it, a rumble came from Ye Moxuan’s chest, and then his voice rang above her head immediately.

“Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”

Han Muzi was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

Hah!

If you hadn’t held me in your arms, nothing would have happened at all!

However, there was nothing else she could say—she could only wait for them to go out.

Ye Moxuan seemed to be deliberately torturing her by walking at an excruciatingly slow pace. After a long time, he was still trapped by the reporters.

“What are you doing? Hurry up.” Han Muzi felt that she was almost out of breath in his arms. In addition, she was wearing a skirt today, so it was difficult for her to adjust her posture. She was worried about her wardrobe malfunction.

Upon realizing that the woman in his arms was getting annoyed, Ye Moxuan looked at the reporters in front of him with a strong indifference as he glared at the group of people coldly.

“Get lost.”

After hearing Ye Moxuan’s command, all of them stopped immediately and exchanged glances before taking a few steps back subconsciously.

He didn’t give the reporters any respect, and he didn’t care how ruthless the reporters would say he was; to him, their comments were irrelevant.

However, only someone with a dying wish would have the guts to write any negative articles about Ye Moxuan.

Not only was the man ruthless, he was also not someone who could be provoked, unless they didn’t want to stay in North City anymore.

Hence, everyone got away from him obediently, and no one dared to catch up to him.

Then, Leng Yueyue and Yan followed behind them like two shadows.

After arriving in the corridor, Han Muzi still did not dare lift her head from Ye Moxuan’s chest, though she was almost out of breath from hiding in his suit for such a long time. Just then, Ye Moxuan’s slightly-amused voice came from above her.

“Nobody’s around now. You can come out and take a breather.”

Han Muzi snorted and ignored him.

She didn’t believe a word from this man. What if she was photographed by reporters as soon as she showed her face?

After a while, Han Muzi heard that there was really no other commotion around her, so she slowly poked her head out and looked around. Then, she was relieved when she found that there really was no one else.

“Okay, no one is there. You can put me down now,” Han Muzi said while looking at Ye Moxuan.

However, Ye Moxuan stared at her intently. “When have I said that I’m going to put you down?”

Han Muzi was perplexed when she heard that.

“Your heels are broken. Let me take you to buy a pair of new ones.”

Han Muzi paused for a moment before uttering tentatively, “I don’t think so. I can buy it myself.”

After taking a few steps, he arrived at the parking lot and walked to his car with Han Muzi still in his arms. Then, he looked back at Leng Yueyue and Yan, who had been following him all the way. After all, Han Muzi was still in his arms, so they couldn’t just leave her like this. At this moment, when Ye Moxuan looked at them, they felt a chill running down their backs.

“You two…” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes and moved his thin lips. “Go back first.”

“But…” Yan glanced at Han Muzi hesitantly. Seeing her struggling in Ye Moxuan’s arms, she had to bite the bullet and say, “Mr. Ye, you should put Muzi down. When she’s in the car, she won’t need any shoes anymore. We can bring her home directly.”

“Oh?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows. His indifference had suddenly lowered the surrounding temperature by a lot.

Yan cowered a little, but after seeing Han Muzi’s look, she could only continue, “I’m sure Muzi doesn’t want to leave with you. Besides, it’s late now, so it’s quite inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone. There are many reporters today—if this got photographed later, we would be in trouble.”

Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan and spoke calmly, “Didn’t you hear her? Put me down quickly.”

Ye Moxuan stared at her face thoughtfully for a long time. When he was about to speak, he heard Han Muzi say, “If you don’t let me go, I will block your WeChat account.”

Ye Moxuan felt speechless upon hearing that.

“Do you want to let me go or not?” It was finally Han Muzi’s turn to threaten him now.

They had no idea what had gotten into Ye Moxuan, who slowly put her down while she was watching at him, as if he was really afraid that she would block his WeChat account.

Han Muzi couldn’t help shivering when the soles of her feet landed on the cold floor.

It’s really quite cold.

“Don’t block me!” he ordered with a cold expression.

At this moment, Ye Moxuan looked like a gangster who was throwing tantrums. Han Muzi didn’t bother to pay any further attention to him and turned around to leave.

However, her wrist was pulled by him. Han Muzi couldn’t move forward, so she frowned when she turned around. “Let me go!”

“Did you hear what I said?” Ye Moxuan frowned while staring at her seriously.

He looked like he would not let her leave if she didn’t agree. Feeling that this kept happening, Han Muzi’s patience had finally worn off.

“Got it. I promise, and I swear I won’t block you. Happy? Can I go now?”

Ye Moxuan finally let go. “Go ahead. Be careful when driving.”

These words almost made Han Muzi think that the person in front of her had completely changed into a new person. Someone as indifferent as him could actually say such sweet things?
