Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 461

“Do you think I don’t know about that? Although you hid it well, your feelings are like your protruding belly when you got pregnant. After spending so much time with you, you can’t hide it from me at all.”

Han Muzi went silent and looked at her blankly before turning her head away after a moment.

“You think too much. You can’t conclude anything based on your assumptions.”

“Assumptions?” Yan took a deep breath and then looked at Han Muzi with her hands crossed in the front of her chest.

“Then why don’t you dare to look at me? Let’s put this aside first. Do you really think that I didn’t know that you searched for Ye Moxuan’s news when no one was around? Whose name has appeared the most in your searches? Don’t tell me that it’s someone else with the same name!”

Han Muzi sank into a long silence.

Her heart suddenly sank, as if she had been hit by a boulder.

“Did you always think that you have been doing a good job hiding from me, seeing that I did not say a word about this?” Yan then recalled something. “In fact, I even saw him on the highway from Su City to North City, but I didn’t tell you.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi raised her head abruptly.”What did you just say?”

Ye Moxuan was there on the highway?

Seeing her reaction, Yan told Han Muzi about what had exactly happened on the highway that day. After that, Han Muzi finally put the pieces together. She recalled that after Yan went to take some food from the car that day, she became a little strange. However, she passed it off with a random reason.

But now?

In retrospect, she didn’t think about this possibility at all.

“Pretty surprising, huh? You ran into him right after we returned to this country. I sometimes wonder if you two are destined for each other. Otherwise, with the distance from Su City to North City, how could you have possibly met? You guys really have a fateful destiny. Perhaps it’s just me, but Muzi, as your friend, I selfishly don’t want you to interact with him again. Because of him, you have suffered a lot. However, relationship-wise, if you still love him, then… I still fully support you.”

With that, Yan actually stepped forward and bent down to hug her.

Han Muzi was stunned.

Suddenly, her eyes felt wet and misty.

It turned out that she hadn’t been alone for so many years; Yan knew about everything she had been through.

Indeed, even though she pretended to be unperturbed when she saw Ye Moxuan again, after so many years, she still secretly loved him. She would pay attention to his situation and his news.

Including the fact that he got up from the wheelchair and became a normal person who could walk, and that he became the true owner of Ye Group—she knew all of these.

However, she still didn’t know how Ye Moxuan’s legs were cured.

Of course Han Muzi was happy for him after seeing that he could stand and walk again.

However, although she still loved him, she didn’t want to be with him again.

After all, everything was in the past. There was no hard rule stating that two people should be together just because they loved each other.

“Go ahead and talk things through with him. Ask him all the doubts in your mind. If you really love him, don’t miss this chance,” Yan patted her on the shoulder as she said in a gentle tone that was hard to come by.

After a long time, she let go of her before she turned around and left the office.

When Han Muzi lowered her head, she saw the wetness on her shoulders.

…

2PM.

A familiar vehicle parked downstairs in the company, and Xiao Su took the initiative to call Han Muzi.

“Miss Shelly, Young Master Ye asked me to pick you up.”

Han Muzi was already familiar with Xiao Su’s voice. She walked to the window and took a look, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Su leaning against the car with a phone in his hands. She pursed her lips and replied, “Sure. Give me five minutes.”

Han Muzi put the documents away and then got up and walked downstairs.

Because of Xiao Su’s appearance, many people stood at the window on the office floor and gawked at him.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is Xiao Su, Ye Moxuan’s assistant from Ye Group. Why is he here?”

“Our company has a business deal with their company, right? He is here to pick her up, obviously.”

“Even though there’s a business deal, he doesn’t have to pick her up in person, right?”

Shu Guo’er smiled faintly. “Perhaps she has some techniques up her sleeves.”

Hearing that, Zhang Yu also raised her eyebrows. “Of course! Han Qing started the company for her and gave her so many useful resources. This shows that this woman is on a whole new level.”

“Even if she really has the means, there’s no point for you two to be jealous. She has Han Qing on one hand and Ye Moxuan on the other—these are the two most difficult men in North City to be moved. They remained unmoved no matter how many women threw themselves at them. So, instead of being jealous, you might as well draw more designs.”

The person who said this was Leng Yueyue. She threw the documents directly on the table and stood up with her hands crossed in front of her chest as she stared at Zhang Yu and Shu Guo’er.

She had not liked them since the beginning.

After such a long time, they had become more annoying the more she looked at them.

“Tsk! No one cares! That woman is impressive, spending her time between those two men. Leng Yueyue, since you spoke up for her like this, do you want to be the same as her?” Zhang Yu snorted and retaliated at her.

Shu Guo’er crossed her hands in front of her chest. “It’s a pity that no one would take a second look at you.”

“Indeed.” Leng Yueyue put her hands on her waist. “They won’t take a second look at me, and nor at you. So what are you so proud of? Also, I think I must tell you one thing.”

Speaking of this, Leng Yueyue was a little proud.

She was the only person in this office who knew the truth. Thinking of this, she directly said, “You have always thought of Muzi as a promiscuous woman. But you will never expect this—she and Han Qing do not have that kind of a relationship at all. Her surname is Han.”

Zhang Yu didn’t recognize the hidden meaning and blinked. “So what if her surname is Han?”

Shu Guo’er thought about it carefully and stared at Leng Yueyue seriously.

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Just think about it for yourself. Since you can’t think of any other things apart from dirty thoughts, I shan’t say much.”

Leng Yueyue ignored them and walked away from them. Then, Wang An hurriedly followed after her. “Yueyue, where are you going? Let me go with you!”

“Go away.” Leng Yueyue immediately scolded him. “I am going to the bathroom. Do you want to follow me as well? Are you crazy?”

Being scolded by her, Wang An smiled a little embarrassingly and touched his head. “Then I will wait for you here.”

After Leng Yueyue left, everyone else was a little confused.

“What did she mean just now? Muzi’s surname is Han, and what does that have to do with Han Qing?” Zhang Yu was not a particularly bright person, so she was still asking about this.

After Shu Guo’er thought about it, she had a rough guess, but she didn’t say it aloud. Instead, her face became pale.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi was already in Xiao Su’s car.

After the car started driving, an awkward silence fell between them.

Seeing that the direction the car was driving was not toward the city, Han Muzi frowned and spoke, “I thought that we have agreed on meeting at the company.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 462

“Young Master Ye is the client, so it’s up to him to decide on the meeting venue,” Xiao Su replied without any emotions.

Han Muzi paused. After thinking for a while, she didn’t refute the logic. Indeed, he is the customer, so his thoughts are the most important. Since he wants to set the venue, I’ll just let him be.

Han Muzi didn’t know where Ye Moxuan wanted to meet, and she didn’t know how long it would take to reach there, so she took out her phone and texted Yan to let her know that in the event she wasn’t back after everyone got off work, Yan should take Little Bean home. They didn’t have to wait for her.

After sending the text message, Han Muzi put her phone back in her bag in relief. Then, she leaned on the seat and closed her eyes to rest.

Initially, she just wanted to take a break, but she didn’t expect that she actually fell asleep later. When she woke up, the car had stopped, and the surroundings were quiet. Xiao Su was no longer in the car.

Han Muzi looked around for a while and discovered that this was a restaurant not far from the sea. In the restaurant, a familiar figure could be seen from a distance.

It was Ye Moxuan.

Han Muzi stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes before tidying up her clothes. Then, she got up and pushed the car door open before walking in the direction of Ye Moxuan.

Since she was already here, she had nothing to be embarrassed about this time. Then, she sat down directly in front of Ye Moxuan.

“You’re up?” Since Han Muzi got out of the car, Ye Moxuan knew the answer already. However, she actually walked directly toward him and sat down in front of him indifferently. The more indifferent she was, the more frantic Ye Moxuan became. After all, this was the first time Han Muzi took the initiative to ask him out.

The waiter came over. “Miss, what would you like to order?”

Han Muzi smiled slightly. “A cup of coffee. Thank you.” She felt slightly tired after waking up .

“No problem. Please wait for a while.”

After the waiter had left, Han Muzi took a look at the design of the restaurant. The theme was mainly blue, and it complemented the color of the sea.

Both parties remained silent. When the coffee arrived, Han Muzi thanked the waiter and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon.

“Mr. Ye,” she addressed him politely.

Ye Moxuan frowned immediately. “If you are here to discuss business, you can call me Mr. Ye, but you are not allowed to talk about any personal matters after that. If you are here to ask personal matters , then… just call my name.” He really couldn’t bear this woman addressing him in such a distant fashion.

Hearing that, Han Muzi’s hand that was stirring the coffee came to a sudden halt. After a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man on the opposite seat to her before saying, “Fine, then we will not talk about work today. Let’s talk about personal matters.”

Ye Moxuan’s eyes locked on her. “Then call my name.”

Han Muzi felt speechless upon hearing that. “Do you have to give me such a hard time?”

“You think that I’m deliberately giving you a hard time?” Ye Moxuan frowned. “What did I do?”

Han Muzi stared at him blankly and then said amusedly, “What did you do? You still have the guts to ask me what you did? Don’t you know it yourself?”

“Humor me.” Ye Moxuan tapped his fingertips on the tabletop with a nonchalant look.

His attitude really angered Han Muzi, who took a deep breath before starting to accuse Ye Moxuan of the crimes he had done. “You suddenly came to my company to place some orders and kept showing up in front of me, making all kinds of rude requests to me. Does that count as you giving me a hard time?” Han Muzi then raised her head and looked at Ye Moxuan with a pair of eyes that seemed to say, ‘Don’t you know enough, whether you have given me a hard time or not?’

Ye Moxuan merely raised his eyebrows.

Han Muzi continued, “At the press release, you did all sorts of things that are unrelated to you. I could walk perfectly on my own, but you insisted on picking me up in your arms and exposing me to the reporters, which may affect my private life. Is that not considered giving me a hard time?”

Hearing that, Ye Moxuan pursed his lips for a moment and asked, “Did you not hide in my arms that day? No one has taken any pictures of you.”

Han Muzi felt stumped upon hearing his reply.

“I wanted to terminate the contract, but you disagreed. You have been giving me a hard time ever since you appeared in front of me. The reason for me asking to meet you today is just to make things clear to you—please let me go. I beg you. I’ve long forgotten about everything that happened five years ago. I don’t care whether you are single or married now—it has nothing to do with me. If you are willing to have a good business relationship with me, I will try my best to design for you. But if you have other thoughts, I advise you to put them aside.”

Whether you want to rekindle an old flame or humiliate me. Han Muzi didn’t want either of those. Although Yan’s words had left a deep impression on her, Han Muzi was more inclined to protect herself. After all, there was no guarantee that after she got together with him, he wouldn’t push her away ruthlessly, just like how he did five years ago. Having experienced that once in a lifetime was enough.

Ye Moxuan looked at her intently with cold eyes. “You can’t wait to put everything on the table so clearly, can you? So anxious to get rid of me, huh? Why is that?”

Hearing his question, Han Muzi almost laughed out loud in front of Ye Moxuan.

“Ye Moxuan!” She stared at him intently and enunciated every word. “Who was the one who threw the divorce contract in front of me and told me to leave you? Who was the one who said that I was not allowed to enter your company or villa? Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? After being ruthlessly abandoned and pushed away by you, do you think that I will still come back to you? I’m sorry—in that case, I might disappoint you.” Those words were accusations that seemed to be stained by blood.

Although she was very agitated when she spoke about that, her expression and her eyes, including her emotions, were calmer than he thought. She was not as hysterical as he thought. This woman has really changed.

Perhaps it was because of what he had done. Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and then whispered in a low voice, “I can explain all of those things. Would you like to listen?”

“No.” Han Muzi shook her head and then smiled faintly. “After a murderer has committed a crime, I don’t want to hear what he has experienced and his intentions for killing. This is the same for both you and me. Since you did me wrong, just face that. I don’t care why you said those things to me in the first place. I only know that you have pushed me away mercilessly. Your actions are the most important.”

Hearing this, Ye Moxuan laughed at himself mockingly. “It seems that no matter what I say, you won’t believe me.”

Since they got to this point, Han Muzi nodded. “Yes, I have already said everything I want to say today. The rest will be up to you, Mr. Ye. It is quite windy and chilly here, so I can’t stay for long. I will go back first.” With that, Han Muzi got up and walked out with a bag in her arms.

Ye Moxuan looked at her back with a pair of profound eyes. “Unfortunately, no matter what you say, you are still my wife.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi paused and turned her head around to look at Ye Moxuan. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know? Legally, we are still husband and wife.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 463

To Han Muzi, this news was undoubtedly a surprise that caught her off guard, so much so that she didn’t even have time to recover. Legally, we are still husband and wife. What does that mean? Han Muzi felt her heart had almost stopped beating.

Ye Moxuan got up and walked across the mosaic tiles before stopping in front of her. Then, he stretched out his hand to pull the hair from her forehead back to her ear and said in a soft and charming voice, “For the past five years, we have not been divorced at all.”

Han Muzi raised her head quickly and looked at him; her breathing sped up. How could this be?

“Do you think that you can just stop being my woman when you feel like it?” With that, Ye Moxuan’s gaze became more deliberate, and there was a faraway emotion in his eyes that she couldn’t understand. He took a step closer and reached out to hold her shoulders before leaning forward to gently breathe in her ears.

“I won’t let you go, and I won’t be so magnanimous. You have always been my woman, for you have no right to cease this.”

Han Muzi was stunned for three full seconds. She took a big step back and shouted angrily, “What do you mean by I don’t have the right to stop this? After five years of separation, even if I don’t get your consent, I can still divorce you!”

Her loud voice had attracted the attention of the people around them. However, Ye Moxuan didn’t seem to care. Even if they stood around and watched them, he would not have any opinion about it.

Han Muzi usually cared about how other people looked at her. However, when Ye Moxuan told her that she did not have the right to do anything about it, she retaliated angrily. At this moment, she didn’t care how other people looked at her.

It was unpleasant for Ye Moxuan to hear her say the word ‘divorce’. He took a step forward and locked her arm with his hands. “If divorce is as simple as you think, you won’t still be my wife after all this time.”

Hearing that, Han Muzi slowly widened her eyes. “Are you trying to control me?”

Ye Moxuan remained silent and looked at her deeply.

After a while, Han Muzi shook off his hand vigorously and staggered back. This news was so sudden that she needed to go back and ask Han Qing about what had happened.

Han Muzi turned around and left. Ye Moxuan wanted to catch up to her, but he stopped upon seeing her pale face. He had just told her the news, so she needed to take time to digest it. It would be better to leave her alone.

Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan looked at Xiao Su who was standing beside them. “Send her back and drive safely.”

Xiao Su nodded and quickly caught up with her.

Han Muzi originally wanted to take a taxi home by herself, but Xiao Su drove the car right in front of her. “Miss Shelly, get in the car now. It’s quite difficult to get a taxi here, and I brought you here after all. Young Master Ye asked me to send you back.”

Hearing Ye Moxuan’s name, Han Muzi’s expression faltered. Then, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Su who was sitting in the front seat of the car. “Is what he said true?”

Hearing that, Xiao Su remained silent and did not answer her.

“You are his assistant, so you must know everything about him. Tell me, what he said just now—is it true? In the past five years, I have not divorced him?”

Alas, Xiao Su nodded with a grave expression on his face. “Yes, it’s true.”

Han Muzi felt as if all the strings keeping her together had been broken, and she felt so upset that she couldn’t even catch her breath. So, what was the point of me leaving the country for all those years? Was it a goddamn joke?

“Miss Shelly, please get in the car,” Xiao Su urged.

Han Muzi ignored him and continued walking forward. She only left behind a sentence. “No, I want to be alone.”

“But—”

“Don’t follow me.” Her slender back looked decisive. He knew that even if he went after her, she probably wouldn’t get into the car anyway.

Xiao Su called Ye Moxuan and relayed the current situation to him. “Young Master Ye, what should I do now? She doesn’t want to get in the car, and I can’t do anything about it.”

There was silence for a long time. After a while, Ye Moxuan said coldly, “Follow her until she gets home safely.”

“Understood.” Xiao Su hung up the phone and drove slowly behind Han Muzi.

As it was a restaurant by the sea, it took Han Muzi a long time to get to the main road. The sea breeze blew her long skirt and blue silk blouse into a mess. In addition to Han Muzi’s outstanding looks and tall figure, people who drove past couldn’t help but stop and ask her, “Sweetie, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?”

Han Muzi glanced at the man indifferently without even replying to him. She didn’t need to show him any politeness, seeing that he was just trying to pick up girls on the road.

Although her eyes were indifferent, her facial features were good-looking. As such, this simple look was enough to make that man feel star-struck. “Sweetie, don’t be so cold, eh? It’s hard to get a taxi here, as most of the people here are tourists. My brother and I are the only ones in my car. Why don’t you join us? I can send you wherever you want to go.”

Han Muzi ignored him, but that person kept pestering her. “Come on, get in the car. It will take such a long time to walk out from here! You look so thin; you will tire quickly.”

Han Muzi continued ignoring him. Instead, she stopped walking and stood still.

Upon seeing this, the man thought that she was persuaded by him to get in the car. Just when he was about to open the car to welcome her in with a smile, Han Muzi said coldly, “F*ck off.”

The man’s smile stiffened, as he hadn’t expected such a reaction. He remained still for a long time. When he reacted, Han Muzi was already far away.

“Hahaha! Young Master Qi, I can’t believe you got rejected! It’s rare, isn’t it? Aren’t you very good at hooking up with women?” his friend in the passenger seat kept teasing him.

Young Master Qi, who was being teased, looked angry and proceeded to scold him, “What does this have to do with you? At least I’m willing.”

“She is such a beautiful woman. It’s just a pity that she doesn’t like you at all.” His friend continued to joke around.

Young Master Qi stared at the beautiful figure in front of him. “I’m sure as hell not going to let her get away.”

As Xiao Su had been following Han Muzi all this time, he also saw that a few guys had been hitting on her, but he didn’t think there was any trouble, so he didn’t go up to stop them. After a while, he saw that their car was also following Han Muzi. Somehow, they hadn’t noticed Xiao Su’s car.

Xiao Su frowned. Just when he was pondering on whether to stop them or to call Ye Moxuan, Han Muzi stood on the side of the road and waved toward another vehicle. It was a truck that happened to pass by, and the driver seemed to be an honest person. He stopped when she saw her beckoning. “Young lady, what’s the matter?”

“Sir.” Han Muzi smiled. “I want to go to the city, can you give me a ride?”

The driver seemed to be a little wary of her. Looking around, Han Muzi knew what he was worried about and said, “I came with my friend, but he has no time to send me back, so I have no choice but to walk back by myself. Can you please give me a ride? I will pay the fare.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 464

The middle-aged man felt a little embarrassed after what she said. He then smiled shyly. “You don’t have to pay me anything. I just happen to be driving to the supermarket in the city to deliver some goods. It won’t be too much trouble to bring you along, so just get in the car.”

Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Thank you, sir.” She walked around to the other side of the truck and opened the door to get into the vehicle.

In the car behind them, Young Master Qi and his friend sat with a dazed expression.

“What’s going on? She doesn’t want to ride with you, and instead, she got into a truck? Young Master Qi, isn’t she deliberately mocking you?”

“Damn!” Young Master Qi slammed his fists on the steering wheel angrily.

The truck promptly left after Han Muzi got in, and drove into the city. After arriving at the supermarket, Han Muzi wanted to pay the man some money, but the honest man was unwilling to accept it. “It was on the way anyway. You don’t have to be so courteous.”

Alas, Han Muzi still stuffed two hundred in his bag and thanked him sincerely before leaving the supermarket. As the supermarket was not far from her company, she could get back by taxi.

After Han Muzi returned, she went directly to her office and shut herself in there. She was confused. All the things that Ye Moxuan had told her were still stuck in her mind. For five years, she thought she had nothing to do with him anymore. But now, he told her that the two of them had not divorced at all. Legally, she was still Ye Moxuan’s wife.

Knock! Knock! Somebody knocked on her office door, and Han Muzi raised her head to see that the door was half-opened. Yan poked her head in and looked at her timidly. She knew that Han Muzi had gone to see Ye Moxuan, so she didn’t dare to barge in like she normally does.

“Come in.” Han Muzi calmed her emotions down and smiled at Yan.

Only then did Yan open the door and walk in. She assessed the expression on Han Muzi’s face and the emotions in her eyes as she entered. Truth be told, she was very curious.

Looking at Yan, Han Muzi sighed helplessly. “Stop being such a busybody. I didn’t get back with him, and it’s impossible to do so.”

Hearing that, Yan’s expression changed and she walked quickly to her. “Why? Don’t you still love him?”

“Love doesn’t mean that we have to be together.”

Yan scratched her head. “I don’t understand.”

“Then it’s better that you don’t understand. Knowing too much about things like that means that you have experienced bad things. Alright, is this why you were looking for me?”

“No!” Yan immediately shook her head and then took out her phone. “Look at what’s trending on Facebook.”

Han Muzi was puzzled and took the phone that Yan had handed over and carefully read the contents. ‘Ye Moxuan Meets a Mysterious Woman’

“Have you seen this?” Yan clicked on the second most trending search as she filled her in on the details. “I just saw this while I was scrolling through Facebook just now. The paparazzi photographed Ye Moxuan hugging you on the night of the press conference and posted it on the Internet. Now, everyone is wondering who this woman is.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Sure enough, she knew that Ye Moxuan would cause her trouble.

“Now, everyone is still just guessing, but some people in the comments are already frantically trying to dig out who you are.”

Han Muzi pursed her lips and imagined the scene that night. “Let’s put this matter aside first.”

“Muzi, are you sure that there won’t be any further complications? I’m afraid that you will be exposed. When that happens, you won’t have a peaceful life.”

“I should be safe for now. I hid well that night and didn’t show my face.” Han Muzi shook her head.

“Okay, then.” After Yan finished speaking, she saw another trending news and angrily said, “By the way, I will tell you one more thing. If Ye Moxuan wasn’t trending this time, Zhao Yiru would probably be the top trending news. She is shameless—she hired a lot of marketing accounts to send out rumors that Han Qing, the President of the Han Group, is trying to court her. She also pretended that a mysterious man had sent her some customized dresses. Many people are envious of her right now!”

Hearing this, Han Muzi was a little surprised. “My brother wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“I agree. This Zhao Yiru is just trying to get a sprinkle of Han Qing’s fame. I can’t stand her!”

Han Muzi looked at her amusedly. “Then what are you going to do? Tell my brother about this? That there is a female celebrity who is using his name to get more popularity?”

Yan’s eyes widened. “How could I possibly tell him? My crush would hate me! By the way—” Yan suddenly realized something and looked at Han Muzi with a mischievous glint in her eyes as she smiled slightly. “Muzi, you are the best…”

The more she tried to sound nice, the more goosebumps Han Muzi got.

“Muzi, you are his younger sister. You should tell him about this matter.” Yan simply bent down and hugged Han Muzi’s arm as she made her case pitifully. “You wouldn’t want anyone to use your brother’s name to do something wrong, would you?”

“Well, it’s not a crime to use his name for their popularity.”

“Muzi, how is it not a crime? She is taking advantage of the popularity of the Han Family. When that happens, everyone will have to show her respect. Maybe they will even call her the Young Lady of the Han Family. She is our enemy, you know? She ruined our work last time. If we let her use the popularity of the Han Family, wouldn’t that be—”

“Okay, okay. I know.” Hearing Yan’s reasoning, Han Muzi helplessly agreed to her request. “I will tell my brother later.”

“Muzi, you’re the best!” Yan bent down and kissed Han Muzi on her cheek before quickly running out of the office. Then, she suddenly stopped and suggested, “Why don’t you go to his company to find him now? Anyway, there is still an hour before we get off work. I will pick up Little Bean from school if it is late.”

“Right now?”

“Yes, many reporters already went to the Han Group today. I saw many videos online—many reporters wanted to cover this story and verify it, but your brother refused to give an interview, and no one dares to provoke him.”

Hearing this, Han Muzi understood what she meant. Yan hoped that Han Qing would take this opportunity to deny the incident publicly and embarrass Zhao Yiru.

“I got it.”

After Yan left, the smile on Han Muzi’s face gradually faded. Should I go to Qing? Yeah, I should just go. After all, I have something to ask him too.

So, Han Muzi went out again. This was one of the advantages of being the boss—there were no restrictions on whatever you wanted to do.

When Han Muzi went to the Han Group, she found that there were paparazzi outside the Han Group holding up cameras and discussing amongst themselves. Although she and Han Qing were siblings, this was the first time she had come to his company after so many years.

Han Muzi thought she might have to put in some effort to reach him. When she entered, she was about to call Han Qing, but a girl at the front desk suddenly ran over to her. “Excuse me, are you Miss Muzi?”

Hearing that, Han Muzi was a little surprised. “Do you know me?”

“President Han has specifically ordered that if you come, you can go directly to him using the private elevator.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 465

Han Muzi put back her phone and smiled. “How did you recognize me?”

The young woman smiled sweetly in response. “President Han had sent me your photo, and he had specifically instructed me to remember your face. Miss Muzi, after you.”

I see. My older brother is truly thoughtful. Han Muzi felt warm and fuzzy inside her. She nodded and followed the young woman.

After arriving at their destination, Han Muzi thanked her. Then, she went ahead to look for Han Qing. She knocked on the office door and was greeted with a deep and steady voice. “Come in.”

Han Muzi pushed the door open, and upon entering the office, she saw Han Qing seated on the couch with his legs crossed. He was sipping some coffee from a cup with one hand while flipping through some documents with the other. Today, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that made him look especially well-polished.

When Han Muzi stood rooted on the spot, Han Qing noticed the silence and looked up at her. “Muzi? Why are you here?” Gone was Han Qing’s calm façade the moment he saw Han Muzi. He placed the cup of coffee down before standing up and walking toward her.

Han Muzi collected herself and gazed at him while he approached her. Countless questions popped up in her mind. She wanted to ask him directly, but she thought it would be too deliberate. Hence, she flashed him a smile. “I’ve never been to your office, so I’m dropping by for a visit.”

Han Qing was her older brother after all; he knew his younger sister well. Although she was smiling, he noticed it was a rather forceful smile. Hence, he headed outside quietly and asked his secretary to bring Han Muzi a beverage before returning to Han Muzi’s side. “Aren’t you busy with your company? Why would you have time to drop by?”

Han Muzi didn’t sit down; instead, she paced around aimlessly. After that, she stopped in front of the French window and took in the city skyline in all its glory.

It was already evening now, and the sun was setting. The entire sky was dyed red by the sunset, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

“Qing, are you keeping something from me?”

Han Qing paused, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. After a while, he approached Han Muzi and stood right beside her.

“Silly girl, what have I not told you about?” Han Qing asked tenderly while ruffling Han Muzi’s hair. Why is this girl acting so odd suddenly? Did something happen?

“What is it?” Han Qing asked again as Han Muzi remained tight-lipped.

Han Muzi blinked several times before finally turning to face Han Qing. She inhaled deeply and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that my divorce with Ye Moxuan didn’t go through?”

Han Qing’s hand that was caressing her hair immediately froze. It felt as if time stopped as Han Qing regarded her. Han Muzi stood quietly as well, but her eyes were swollen with sadness and they looked like they were about to overflow.

After some time, Han Qing retrieved his hand. “Have you met him?” He did not admit to it, neither did he deny it.

Han Muzi felt her heart sink gradually. I suppose it’s true then. “Are you admitting to it?” she asked.

Han Qing did not reply to her; instead, he regarded her sternly before looking away. “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you about it—I have been trying my best to get it sorted. I just didn’t expect the two of you to bump into each other again.”

Han Muzi finally understood upon hearing his explanation. It turns out that Han Qing knew about this all along. He just didn’t inform me about it. I, on the other hand, thought that I was divorced long ago. I thought I had nothing to do with Ye Moxuan anymore.

Han Qing pursed his lips as he stared at her unwaveringly. “Did you meet him? What did he do to you? If you…”

“I can handle it myself,” Han Muzi answered coldly.

Han Qing was stumped at her response.

”From now on, I don’t need you to handle this on my behalf, Qing. I will get the rest of it sorted myself.”

“Muzi, are you mad at me?” Han Qing frowned. “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you about this. I thought I’d be able to handle it, and that is why I didn’t mention it all along.”

“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “I’m not blaming you. I just thought that… as the involved party, I have the right to know the truth. For the past five years, I thought I had nothing to do with him anymore. But now, he’s telling me that I have yet to divorce him. Do you know how unprepared I was when I heard this? How should I face him in the future?”

“I am sorry.” Han Qing finally understood where she was coming from. “It’s all my fault, you…”

“No worries. Now that I am aware of it, I will personally get a divorce from him. I’m merely here to verify this piece of information. By the way, there’s a female celebrity who has been using your name to gain popularity recently. You should check on that and respond accordingly when you have the time.”

Han Qing responded incredulously, “What?”

“It’s getting late; I’m leaving now.” After Han Muzi left, Han Qing was still wondering what she meant earlier. However, his thoughts were soon replaced with other emotions. Muzi knows about this. It means that she has met Ye Moxuan. They wouldn’t have discussed this in their first meeting, so it means that they have been meeting for some time already. As her older brother, how could I have been oblivious to this? Suddenly, Han Qing felt that he was an incompetent older brother. His gaze darkened when that thought crossed his mind.

After that, he lost his focus and mood at work. He stayed in his office until the end of working hours. Then, he grabbed the suit jacket that was hanging on the rack and picked up his car keys before heading downstairs.

Just when he got out of the elevator doors, someone appeared in front of him. “President Han, there is a group of paparazzi waiting outside of the company building. You have to be more vigilant when you head out later.”

Han Qing stopped dead in his tracks when he heard that. “Paparazzi?”

“Yes. They have been camping outside since this morning. However, since there aren’t too many of them, they wouldn’t pull any stunts, so we have been ignoring them. Why don’t…”

Han Qing recalled what Muzi told him in his office. That’s right, Muzi told me that a female celebrity has been using my name to gain popularity and that I should address it when I have the time. Is this what she meant?

“It’s okay. Let’s just head out.” With that, Han Qing walked out of the company building. He remembered what Muzi said, and that was why he wanted to respond to it right now. The group of lurking paparazzi worked themselves into a frenzy and snapped away enthusiastically upon seeing Han Qing.

However, Han Qing was a very powerful figure, so they only dared to photograph him from afar; they didn’t have the courage to come any closer. Despite being very curious about this matter, they were much more concerned about their career progression.

There were only two people in North City that no one would ever dream of provoking. One of them was Ye Moxuan—the cold and ruthless Devil; the second was Han Qing who always wore a blank expression.

He was completely different from Ye Moxuan. Ye Moxuan was cold and detached; he looked extremely hostile and gave off a vibe as if he might kill whoever approached him. On the other hand, Han Qing was different because he was like an elder. He was calm and collected and despite not having a vicious and forceful presence, his expressionless face was inexplicably eerie.

Han Qing took several steps forward but none of the paparazzi had the courage to come closer. The flashlights of their cameras continued to shine on him as they snapped pictures of him. Hence, he stopped walking and beckoned at a group of them.

The color drained from their faces, and one of them approached him slowly.

“What are you doing?” Han Qing asked icily.

“Uh, you…” It was a female paparazzi.

“Why are you taking my pictures?” Han Qing appeared very calm.

The female paparazzi hesitated before answering him, “President Han, you are the center of attention because you are courting Zhao Yiru. We are—”

“Zhao Yiru?” Han Qing narrowed his eyes as though he was racking his brains. After a moment, he asked suddenly, “Who is that?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 466

That night, a news article titled ‘Who is Zhao Yiru?’ started trending. Upon clicking on it, there was a video showing Han Group’s President Han asking coldly while having a hand in his pocket, “Zhao Yiru? Who is that?”

Netizens started making mocking comments, claiming that Zhao Yiru was acting out a self-directed drama. Some even commented that she was delusional for dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family and that she should take the time for some self-reflection.

After she saw the trending news, Yan put on a bathrobe and ran to Han Muzi’s bedroom with her phone. She got into bed with Han Muzi. “Muzi, you have your brother’s ear. Look, your brother responded. The entire internet community is now mocking Zhao Yiru.” Yan had a hand over her mouth while she giggled in exhilaration. “Just thinking of her usual gleeful face morphing into a panicked one makes me so happy.”

“Enough of that. What is there to be happy about?”

“Why shouldn’t I be happy? Wasn’t she faking? I’d like to see how she’d continue pretending now that she’s been exposed. She is shameless. How dare she use others for her popularity?! Hmph! Just read the comments section.”

Han Muzi took a glance and saw that they were all horrible comments. Netizens who were previously envious of her were now condemning her. They were condemning her for being shameless, and that she was sexy but brainless. Some were even demanding that she leave the entertainment industry.

‘Please call me the only prophet here. I’ve mentioned long ago that the President of the Han Group has no interest in women. Everybody knows that he has been single all along which means that he must have exceptionally high standards. How could he possibly fall for a bimbo like Zhao Yiru? It might have been slightly more believable if it were Lin Xinghuo. Those who were envious and wishing them happiness before must feel like absolute fools now. Who would have expected Zhao Yiru to use Han Qing to increase her popularity? Did she think that he would ignore such rumors just because he is always busy? She has now utterly embarrassed herself.’

‘Isn’t Han Qing being a little too inconsiderate? Even if he wasn’t acquainted with Zhao Yiru, he should have acted more like a gentleman when dealing with a woman! It would have been fine if he denied it directly. It would also have been acceptable if he had not commented at all. However, he just straight out asked who she was. Zhao Yiru is so popular; how could he possibly not know her?’

‘Hello? Are you kidding me? Do you know how powerful Han Qing is in North City? Why would a big player from the business world take note of a woman from the entertainment industry—a bimbo no less?’

‘Hey you, with the foolish comment! You must be another stupid fanboy or fangirl of Zhao Yiru, aren’t you?’

‘Let’s watch them go berserk.’

‘Someone’s fans were bragging about their idol previously. I am guessing they are utterly embarrassed now, aren’t they? Shouldn’t they hide in a corner and stay silent?!’

Han Muzi looked away after reading that last comment. “Alright, that’s the end of this matter for now. You’ve vented your frustration; you should go ahead and rest early.”

“Hmph, I have indeed vented my frustration. Han Qing claimed that he doesn’t know her, which means that he has never given her a dress in the past. It means that she’s wearing a fake. In the future, many luxurious brands will refuse to work with her. Ah, I am so happy. I’m going back to sleep.”

Once Yan left the room, the smile vanished from Han Muzi’s face. She stayed in bed while holding a book and spaced out. She couldn’t even focus on reading her favorite book because her mind had been replaying the words that Ye Moxuan said to her.

“Mommy.” Just when she was spacing out, a pair of hands pressed against her face suddenly.

Han Muzi snapped back to reality and realized that Little Bean was inches away. The little fellow was kneeling by the bed patting her face softly. “Mommy, what are you thinking about? I called you so many times.”

“Little Bean?” Han Muzi looked at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, I was thinking about something earlier. Were you calling me for a very long time?”

“Mm-hmm!” Little Bean nodded adorably. “I called ‘mommy’ three to four times, but you didn’t answer me. Mommy, is something bothering you? Why don’t you tell me? I can share your worries with you.”

Something bothering me? Share my worries?

Han Muzi stared at the child in front of her, and her heart broke. She reached out to pull him into an embrace before answering him softly, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about work earlier, and that’s why I was distracted. Little Bean, do you recall telling me that you were hoping for the big-shot from the other night to be your daddy?”

Little Bean blinked. “Is it not okay?”

Han Muzi chuckled before answering him, “I just wanted to ask you why you want him specifically. There are so many better and more outstanding men than him. Besides… I can find a better daddy for you.”

Little Bean wrinkled his nose when he heard that, and he replied to her in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, “But I think he is awesome.”

Han Muzi sensed that her child had very strong opinions, and so she wanted to advise him. However, she realized with a start that Little Bean did not see the person upstairs. He just heard that the person was a powerful figure; they had not even met. In that case, why don’t I just hide this from him? Little Bean wouldn’t know about it even if it were someone else. No. How could I possibly lie to my child as a mother?

Han Muzi smiled upon deciding, and she tried explaining to him, “However, I don’t wish to be with him. I don’t wish for him to be your daddy.”

“Huh?” Little Bean looked up in confusion while blinking at Han Muzi. “Mommy, don’t you like that person?”

“Mm-hmm.” Han Muzi nodded. “I don’t like him.”

Little Bean wrinkled his nose again. After pondering for some time, he finally wrapped his arms around Han Muzi’s neck while nuzzling her cheek intimately. “Alright. I don’t want him to be my daddy since you don’t like him, mommy.”

Han Muzi felt tears brimming in her eyes when she heard that. In the beginning, she thought her son would have insisted. Who would have expected him to be so considerate? Besides, he had a very tender expression when he said that. Han Muzi was moved beyond words at that moment.

She didn’t want her child to see her tears, and so she reached out to embrace him. Her eyes were glassy with tears when she spoke to him, “My dear Little Bean, you are so obedient. You are all grown up now; in fact, you are a mature, tiny adult.”

With Little Bean’s blessings, I will find someone else. As for Ye Moxuan, I will have to find a way to divorce him. Five years ago, he wanted a divorce. He wouldn’t even see me, and neither would he believe me. Five years have passed now, and I will never expose myself to such humiliation again by being with him. I must get a divorce—that’s not up for discussion. I will not allow Ye Moxuan to be Little Bean’s father. I have to find a father for Little Bean. I have to search for a loving and responsible man.

When she came to that conclusion, Han Muzi shut her eyes and hugged Little Bean even tighter.

“Mommy, let’s sleep.” Little Bean pushed her suddenly. Han Muzi looked away in a panic because her cheeks were streaked with tears. However, Little Bean was not looking at her; instead, he went ahead to switch off the lights.

The room became pitch black. Han Muzi was stunned for a while, but she swiftly brushed off her tears from her cheeks in silence. Then, she answered him with a smile, “Alright, let’s sleep. Good night, Little Bean.”

Little Bean approached her, and she wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence, but his soft lips pressed against her tears. “Good night, mommy.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 467

Although Han Muzi already made it clear that she will handle it from here on, as her older brother, how could I possibly leave my sister to suffer and brave through this alone? That was why he had to do something. For instance, he now had an appointment with Ye Moxuan.

There was soothing and romantic background music in the café. The two men were seated across each other. Both were exuding extraordinary auras, and everyone assumed they were both there to discuss business. However, they were giving off hostile vibes as well, which was effective in keeping people away.

When faced with Han Qing, Ye Moxuan’s gaze looked sinister and ruthless. Previously, Han Muzi was noticed getting into the Han Family’s car, so Ye Moxuan instructed Xiao Su to investigate this. Initially, Ye Moxuan thought that she was having a secret affair with Han Qing. However, he realized later that she was Han Qing’s younger sister.

Although he wasn’t aware of the intricacies, Ye Moxuan was satisfied as long as there was nothing romantic between them. In fact, he wouldn’t have shown up if Han Qing weren’t her older brother.

Ye Moxuan smiled faintly when he reminded himself of that. “President Han, you are a busy man. Why are you free to meet me here today? Are you here to talk business?”

“You should know very well why I wanted to meet you,” Han Qing answered with a steady voice while staring at Ye Moxuan coldly.

“Oh?” Ye Moxuan cocked a brow at him. “Am I close with you, President Han?”

Han Qing looked up at Ye Moxuan’s face. “Stay away from her. As far away as possible.”

“Ha!” Ye Moxuan gave a short bark of laughter without answering him. After that, he tapped his knuckles against the table gently while flashing Han Qing an evil smile. “She is my wife. As her husband, I’m not quite sure why I should stay away from her.”

A trace of anger flashed across Han Qing’s eyes at the mention of that. He suppressed his urge to throw a punch at Ye Moxuan. “If you hadn’t hired people to do your bidding in secret, both of you would not still be husband and wife.”

“So what? It’s your fault that you’re not powerful enough,” Ye Moxuan blatantly mocked him, and it was apparent that he was not afraid of offending Han Qing.

For the past five years, Han Qing had been trying all he could to end the marriage between Han Muzi with Ye Moxuan. Despite Han Qing’s powerful forces, Ye Moxuan’s cunning and vicious methods were unrivaled. After all, Han Muzi was Ye Moxuan’s wife. How could he possibly let others interfere?

The more he thought about it, the angrier Han Qing became. “Not powerful enough? Is this your style, Ye Moxuan? To trap a woman? I don’t want to cause a scene, but now that she knows about it, I don’t mind going against you head-on.”

“Head-on, you say?” Ye Moxuan mulled over his words before smirking at Han Qing. “Han Qing, you are just her older brother. What right do you have to dictate her life? You have no right to control who she falls for as well.”

Han Qing answered him, “I will never allow her to be with a playboy like you.”

Playboy? Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes menacingly, and he hissed through gritted teeth, “Who are you calling a playboy?”

“You should know perfectly well how you hurt her all those years ago.”

While they were locking horns, Xiao Su and Mr. Nan were observing them anxiously from outside.

“Nothing bad will happen, I hope,” mumbled Mr. Nan under his breath. Then, he took his phone out. “I think I should phone Miss.”

When Xiao Su heard Mr. Nan saying that, he thought in silence, He must be referring to Han Muzi. Hence, Xiao Su stopped him hastily before he made that phone call. “Mister, you shouldn’t add fuel to the fire. Wouldn’t things get messier if you were to phone your Miss right now?”

Mr. Nan stopped upon hearing that, and he was stunned for a while before adding, “That’s true. What should we do? Why don’t we go in and talk to them?”

Just when the two of them were discussing, they heard a cry of surprise from the café. It turned out the two men inside the café had started fighting. Ye Moxuan must have touched a nerve because Han Qing was grabbing him by the collar while staring daggers at him. “If you dare get any closer to her, I will not forgive you.”

The evil smile was still etched across Ye Moxuan’s face. He seemed unfazed despite Han Qing grabbing him by the collar.

Ye Moxuan appeared calm. “I would have hit you long ago if you weren’t her family.”

Han Qing smirked in disdain at him. “Well, go ahead and hit me.”

Ye Moxuan remained motionless.

Thud! Han Qing punched the corner of Ye Moxuan’s mouth.

However, Ye Moxuan did not dodge him nor did he fight back.

Han Qing was dumbfounded. Coincidentally, Mr. Nan and Xiao Su both barged in to stop the two of them.

“Why aren’t you fighting back?” Han Qing stared at him.

Ye Moxuan noticed the metallic taste at the corner of his lips. He reached out to wipe away his blood and burst out laughing. “I wouldn’t dare hit my brother-in-law. What would I do if my wife gets mad at me?”

Han Qing’s pupils constricted when he heard that, and he was about to charge forward. However, Ye Moxuan took several steps backward before stating in an evil tone, “I might not hit my brother-in-law, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy getting beaten up. That’s all for today, goodbye.”

Ye Moxuan turned around to leave the café, but he stopped suddenly after several steps. “I must have her. There’s no question there.” I don’t care what methods you use to stop me from being with her. Nothing will work.

A flash of anger glinted in Han Qing’s eyes, but Mr. Nan stopped him. “President, forget it.”

Han Qing weighed his options before finally deciding to return to his company.

…

On the other side, Han Muzi appeared listless because she had been suffering from insomnia for the past three days. Ever since Ye Moxuan told her that they were not divorced, her mind had been plagued with incidents from the past. Little Bean slept soundly beside her, but she just couldn’t fall asleep throughout the night, and it went on until dawn. Three days passed, and she was extremely groggy.

“You can’t go on like this. Why don’t I accompany you to the doctor?” Yan stared at the dark shadows underneath Han Muzi’s eyes.

Han Muzi collected herself when she heard this and responded with a shake of her head. “No, I’m fine. I’ll be fine after a few days.”

“That day… What happened that day? You seem off ever since you returned that day. Muzi… we are best friends; please just tell me.”

Han Muzi felt exhausted and weary the moment she thought of how complicated things were, and so she remained silent.

Seeing how lethargic Han Muzi was, Yan had no choice but to give up. She then prepared a cup of tea for Han Muzi before leaving her office.

Yan had just exited the office when she saw a figure sneaking toward her. “Who are you?”

Lin Xinghuo was wrapped up like a dumpling, and she was startled by Yan’s loud and stern voice. She pulled her mask down hastily. “It’s me!”

“Lin Xinghuo? What are you doing here?” Yan asked in surprise while staring at her. The oddest thing was that Lin Xinghuo was here alone, and her agent wasn’t with her.

Lin Xinghuo grinned, flashing her pearly whites. “I’m on the way to a filming set, and I was passing by so I thought I’d drop by.”

Yan asked, “Are you here to see Muzi? I’m afraid she’s not in the right state of mind.”

“Why is she not in the right state of mind?” Lin Xinghuo pondered before asking, “Is she too excited that she is losing sleep over it?”

“How did you know that she’s been losing sleep?”

Lin Xinghuo clicked her tongue. “Who wouldn’t be excited after being hugged by President Ye of the Ye Group?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 468

Yan blurted, “Damn! How did you know?”

“She was with me for a while that night. How could I not recognize what she was wearing? However…” Lin Xinghuo’s expression turned serious. “I need to clarify something very important with my idol.”

“What is it?” Yan asked like a busybody.

Lin Xinghuo stated sternly, “I can only speak with my idol about this matter.” With that, she squeezed past Yan and entered the office, in search of Han Muzi. She couldn’t help but cry out in surprise when she saw Han Muzi’s dark circles.

“My idol, what happened to you?” Lin Xinghuo exclaimed in shock while staring at the dark shadows under Han Muzi’s eyes.

“Just call me Muzi.” Han Muzi gazed at Lin Xinghuo who appeared in her office out of the blue. Isn’t she an award-winning actress? Why is she so free that she can drop by my office at such an odd hour?

“Muzi!” Lin Xinghuo clung onto Han Muzi’s arm. “I saw it!”

“What did you see?”

“President Ye of the Ye Group hugged you. Although you covered your face, I recognized you straight away.”

Han Muzi was astounded when she heard that, and she thought of something suddenly. That’s right. Despite my efforts of shielding my face that night, how could those who know and are acquainted with me not recognize me? Han Muzi’s expression soured at that thought.

Lin Xinghuo cleared her throat, and her expression turned somber suddenly. “I have something to tell you. News on the internet spread the fastest, and everyone is currently searching for the mysterious woman. They might not have a clue right now, but they might find out that it’s you by accident.”

Han Muzi was at a loss for words. She knew very well how fast news spread on the internet. If Lin Xinghuo was able to recognize her, it would mean that others might be able to as well. There were many people sitting beside her that night. Besides, she even headed out for a while.

”Did you drop by today to tell me this?”

“Mm-hmm, I just want to remind you to be more careful. You might want to be prepared. However, there’s something even more important that I feel obliged to tell you.”

Han Muzi asked, “What is it?”

Lin Xinghuo fidgeted with her fingers, and her pretty face looked torn. “I haven’t decided if I should tell you about it.”

Han Muzi chuckled in frustration. “Go home if you haven’t decided. Tell me about it next time.”

“I can’t!” Lin Xinghuo answered in a serious manner, “You are my idol, and so I think it’s best to tell you. After all… I think this is unfair to you.”

Unfair? What is it? Lin Xinghuo had successfully piqued Han Muzi’s interest now.

“Well… Do you still remember the client I recommended to you earlier?” Lin Xinghuo bit her lower lip while explaining softly to Han Muzi, “She is my relative, and she’s younger than me. She has always admired me since I succeeded as a celebrity. However, her mother does not agree with her joining the entertainment industry. Hence, she attended university like a goody-two-shoes.”

Han Muzi scowled at that because she figured Lin Xinghuo wouldn’t bring up Lin Qingqing for no apparent reason. Thus, she nodded while playing along. “Mm-hmm, I remember her.”

“Initially, these are all private matters. I wouldn’t tell you these things if Young Master Ye of the Ye Group hadn’t hugged you during the press conference, and I so happened to witness that.”

“What are you trying to say?” Han Muzi stared at Lin Xinghuo in amusement.

“I wanted to say that my cousin has been going on blind dates with Ye Moxuan!”

Han Muzi’s smile stiffened on her lips, whereas Lin Xinghuo bit her lower lip sadly.

“My idol, you are sacred and inviolable to me. In all honesty, I will wish you happiness if you truly end up together with Ye Moxuan. But… he is a playboy!”

“Playboy?” The corners of Han Muzi’s lips twitched involuntarily.

“Yes! He already went on blind dates with my cousin, but there he is, hugging you during a press conference. It would have been fine if he did it in private, but that’s a press conference! Both Zhao Yiru and I were present. I’m not blowing my own trumpet, but together, Zhao Yiru and I are quite popular in China. There must be many people following the event that night. Since that incident happened suddenly, I feel like he exposed you to the public, and that’s why…”

Han Muzi finally understood what Lin Xinghuo was trying to say. Who would have expected this girl to come all the way here specifically to tell me this? Han Muzi thought to herself in silence, and she looked up at Lin Xinghuo with a smile. “I understand.”

“T-That’s it?” Lin Xinghuo stared at her with a blank expression, as if she was in disbelief that Han Muzi was reacting so calmly.

“Huh?”

“I mean, aren’t you sad? You lost so much sleep that you have dark shadows under your eyes because Young Master Ye hugged you. Were you not excited because of this?”

Han Muzi hesitated before asking her, “Who told you that I was excited because he hugged me?” In the past, that man has hugged me countless times. Besides, we’ve done even more intimate things together. Why would I possibly lose sleep for being excited over a hug? I can’t sleep because I’m still married to him. That is something I find unacceptable.

“Alright, I think I have been a busybody. However, you have to be careful, my idol. Chen Fei is waiting for me downstairs, and so I’ll be leaving now. By the way, I can tell you that my cousin is no saint. You should be careful of her too.”

Once Lin Xinghuo left, Han Muzi finally faced the problem head-on. She’s right. Netizens will expose my identity sooner or later. Her gaze darkened at the thought.

Hence, that afternoon, Han Muzi made use of some public relations methods to delete all her marketing information. There was much less information about the mysterious woman online now. Han Muzi finally felt relieved with a cleaner layout. Although the issue between Ye Moxuan and I is troublesome, life goes on. I can’t allow myself to feel down in life just because of the divorce issue.

The house owner, whom she got into contact with previously, took the initiative and phoned her, asking if she would like to view the house. Han Muzi truly wanted to purchase the house in that area, but this matter was delayed due to the issue of terminating her contract with Ye Moxuan. Now that I think about it, I doubt I’d be able to terminate my contract with Ye Moxuan. What if there’s a need for me to spend money in the future?

Han Muzi was deep in thought, while the house owner might have been anxious due to the waiting and so blurted straight away, “Well, the thing is, I need money urgently due to some family matters. If you like my house, why don’t you drop by to have a look? Don’t worry, we can negotiate the price until both parties are satisfied.”

Han Muzi’s interest was piqued when she heard that. Since the house owner offered to lower the price, I should really go over to have a look.

Since there were no new orders recently, she wasn’t busy at that moment. Hence, she left the company earlier and picked Little Bean up from school with Yan. Then, they went to view the house together.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 469

The house was near to Little Bean’s school. There was a cinema right opposite the house; a library was about a five-minute walk to their left, and a supermarket about a six-minute walk further down the street. Not far from the supermarket was a huge amusement park with a food street nearby. In short, it was a very convenient location, which also meant that it was expensive. After all, everyone wanted their lives to be more convenient.

“Miss Han, you have seen the house—what do you think?” A kind-looking middle-aged woman was responsible for entertaining her, while a young woman followed after her, looking a little morose. The young woman was the house owner, whereas the middle-aged woman was a housing agent whom she managed to find.

Han Muzi looked around. The house looked quite vintage, and the decoration style suited what she had in mind. If the price was right, she was happy to buy it.

“What about the price?” Han Muzi looked at the agent and asked, “Has anyone lived in this place before? Will there be any disputes after buying it? I hope you can explain the entire situation to me clearly. After all, since you are trying to sell this urgently—”

“Miss Han, you have misunderstood. This house was given to me by my husband not long after we were dating. After that, we bought another villa, so this house has been vacant. No one has lived in it since we finished renovating it, but we hire a cleaner to clean this house on a regular basis. This agent here is an honest person—she won’t do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, I’m going to be honest—my husband’s business has failed this time, resulting in the company’s capital funds not being able to cover up the debt and whatnot. That is why I’m selling this house.”

After listening to her, Han Muzi thought that what she said was quite reasonable. “Alright, I have already understood what is going on. We’ll discuss this further. Give me some time to think about it.”

The young woman said nervously, “Miss Han, I really need the money now. If you can buy this house in two days, I am willing to lower the price by 10% and more.”

Han Muzi felt speechless upon hearing that.

Yan also couldn’t help herself from taking a sharp breath.

North City was a metropolis, and this was the central area. This house was worth at least tens of millions. If she was willing to drop the price by 10% and more, wouldn’t she have to lose a lot?

The agent didn’t really mind this. No matter what, she would make money when the deal was done, so she didn’t mind whether it was more expensive or not. To her, the most important thing was to seal the deal. So, she smiled and said, “Oh, Miss Han, seeing that the owner has lowered the price so much, it’s your gain if you buy this! If you don’t believe me, take a look at the houses around here. You can’t find a cheaper option! Since you want to buy a house, and she is eager to sell it, fate has brought you two together!”

Hearing her persuasion, Han Muzi couldn’t help twitching her lips. People could really do anything just to seal a deal.

Of course, she would not argue with the agent. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for the kind reminder, miss, but buying a house is a big decision. Even if I’m willing to buy it, I need some time to consider it; it has nothing to do with how much you are willing to lower the price.”

Hearing that, the young woman’s face darkened. “In that case, how long do you have to take to consider?” In the end, she could only ask dryly while biting her lower lip.

Looking at her anxious expression, Han Muzi assumed she really needed the money. However, she was not a philanthropist. It was impossible for her to buy a house in a hurry, so she shook her head. “Give me a few days to think about it and I’ll give you a reply soon.”

Although the owner was very unwilling, there was no other way. After all, she couldn’t possibly force Han Muzi to buy her house if she was unwilling to.

When they were about to leave, the young woman politely sent her down the elevator and watched them leave.

The three of them walked on the streets together. Little Bean looked at the surroundings with bright eyes. “Mommy, I think that house is pretty good. Let’s buy it!”

Hearing that, Han Muzi stopped for a while before reaching out her hand to poke Little Bean’s head. “Do you like it so much?”

Yan snorted. “Even if you like it, we can’t buy it right away. Who knows what kind of plan she is up to? Little Bean, Aunt Yan will teach you one lesson today. It is wrong to have any ill intentions to hurt other people, but you must know how to defend yourself. Why are you so anxious to urge your mom to buy it? Is it because the young lady just now looks pretty?”

Han Muzi paused for a moment before saying, “Nonsense.”

“Hehe. I’m just teasing him.” Yan looked at Little Bean. “Is it true?”

Little Bean raised his head and snorted. “Of course not! I just don’t want you and Mommy to wake up so early every morning. Aunt Yan, you’ve misunderstood me! You are evil!”

Yan asked, “What? You actually thought for us?”

“I feel so sorry for you, Mommy.” At this point, Little Bean took the initiative to hold Han Muzi’s wrist and rubbed her palm against his cheek while saying gently, “Mommy, you haven’t slept well in the past few days. I feel so distressed for you. Let’s buy it quickly and move in so that you can get up a bit later every day! After thinking about this, I realize that my school is not far from here. When we move in, I can walk to school on my own!”

Han Muzi said firmly, “No.” She rejected his proposal without thinking. “You are way too young to walk to school by yourself. It must be either Aunt Yan or me who would send you.”

Yan nodded in agreement. “Yes!”

“But Mommy—”

“Alright, since you like it, let’s go back and ask Uncle Qing. We will buy it if it’s suitable for us.”

“Yes!”

After returning home, Han Muzi talked to Han Qing about this matter, thereafter the latter said that he would look into the house there and buy it if there was no problem.

Worried that he would pay for her, Han Muzi said in advance, “Don’t pay for me behind my back, okay? I have already prepared enough money to buy a house this time. I want to be independent.”

Hearing that, Han Qing paused for a while. “Is there anything wrong here? Why do you want to move out?”

“It’s more convenient for us to stay nearer to the school.”

Han Qing didn’t say anything else. Instead, he stared at her dark circles. “About that—”

“Qing, I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry,” she quickly interjected as she didn’t want to mention this matter in front of Little Bean.

Han Qing glanced at the innocent and cute Little Bean before returning to his senses. “Okay, I’ll update you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Qing.”

In no time, Han Qing asked his people to inquire about the house. The next day, Han Muzi received the news shortly after waking up that there was no problem with the house and she could buy it as long as the official contract was ready.

As he was worried about her being deceived, Han Qing hired a lawyer to help her with the paperwork.

After the lawyer came over, Han Muzi contacted the homeowner who was overjoyed upon hearing that she was going to buy it. She immediately agreed to meet her. An hour later, the contract was signed, and Han Muzi got the key to her new home.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 470

A new home. Han Muzi’s heart warmed at the thought that she would have a house of her own in North City.

The homeowner told her that the key had only been given to their nanny previously and that it had already been returned. However, for the sake of safety, she suggested for Han Muzi to change the lock. Hence, the latter looked at a few fingerprint door locks on the Internet and found a trusted brand where she bought the fingerprint lock system. As the company was in the same city, the installer called her in the afternoon and asked her about a suitable time for installation.

Yan volunteered to go, so Han Muzi gave her a half-day leave.

Ye Moxuan’s orders were not yet completed, and Han Muzi was reluctant to continue. However, if she continued to drag it on like this, it meant that she would have to spend more time with Ye Moxuan. She figured that the sooner it completed the better, so she closed the office again to design the works.

Not long after she started drawing, the phone rang—it was a call from Yan.

Usually, Han Muzi wouldn’t answer the phone at this time, but Yan had gone to install the door lock. Plus, Yan wouldn’t call her if there was nothing important, so she answered the call and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yan said nervously on the other end, “Muzi, log on to Facebook right now! Your identity has been exposed!”

This sentence made Han Muzi’s heart palpitate. “What?” She was in a daze for a long time and heard Yan saying on the other end of the line, “I was just scrolling through Facebook on the way here when I found that someone posted your photo on it. Now everyone knows that the mysterious woman whom Ye Moxuan was hugging at the press conference that day was you.”

Han Muzi paused for a moment before asking, “Didn’t I ask the relevant people to take down all the news?”

“I have no idea. I, too, just found out about this matter. Why don’t I cancel the appointment and look into this matter first—”

“No,” Han Muzi said calmly. “You go and deal with the installation. I will take care of this matter myself.”

“Alright then, just call me if you need my help! We can always change the door lock another day.”

“Okay.” After hanging up, Han Muzi opened Facebook on her phone and took a look. Sure enough, her identity had been exposed.

In fact, after Lin Xinghuo told her that her identity would be exposed sooner or later, she quickly used some public relation resources to delete the information. However, it did not bring any effect at all. If the people wanted to know who one was, they would try their best to find out whether they had the person’s information or not.

Han Muzi saw her photos that were posted online. First, it was a picture of her back, taken during that night when she was walking in the corridor that revealed her side-profile. The second picture was a shot of the scene where she was sitting next to Ye Moxuan; she was watching the performance onstage, but Ye Moxuan watched her instead.

Her photo was exposed followed by her personal identity. Her occupation as a designer, her English name, and all her other information was revealed to the public, including her true identity in North City—the Young Lady of the Han Family, Han Muzi. Her excellent background and past were presented at once.

There were tons of comments under the post.

‘Damn, I was just wondering why all the information about this woman is being classified overnight. It turns out that she has such a strong background. Although I don’t know what this woman is like, in terms of appearance, they make a perfect couple.’

‘I ship them! But isn’t Han Muzi the younger sister of Han Qing? Zhao Yiru even dared to claim that her dress was given by Han Qing. Serve her right for getting a slap right to her face! Such a high-profile temperament is really different from Miss Han’s low-key characteristic.’

‘I’m not in North City, but I heard that it is a very awesome city. Of course, I’ve also heard about all the famous people there. This young lady is so blissful. Ye Moxuan, my husband! I’m so heartbroken today!’

‘Am I the only one who thinks that she is pretentious? If she really doesn’t want to be seen, why did she go to the press conference? Ye Moxuan hugged her in front of everyone, so can’t she just admit it with an open heart? Why is she hiding? It’s not like she is a celebrity.’

‘I have the latest news—this woman has just returned to the country from abroad not long ago and opened a designer company on XX Road.’

Seeing this, Han Muzi’s expression changed immediately, realizing that her life might really be greatly jeopardized.

Since her true identity was revealed and her company was also known in such a short time, would the same thing happen to Little Bean as well?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi’s face instantly turned pale, and she bit her lower lip forcefully. She didn’t care what other people said about her, but if Little Bean was involved, she had to pay attention to this matter and take action.

While thinking about it, Han Muzi was about to refresh the page and found out that the website had crashed. What is going on?

Han Muzi blinked and refreshed again, but the page could not load. Without hesitation, she got up and went out of her office to the staff area, then asked Leng Yueyue to lend her another phone.

Everyone in the staff office was quite free, and they were also scrolling on Facebook. All of them were surprised when they saw the post, but before they had time to talk about it, the website crashed.

Seeing Han Muzi coming here, Leng Yueyue subconsciously turned off the website. “Muzi?”

“Lend me your phone.”

Leng Yueyue handed her phone over without hesitation. Han Muzi logged on to the Facebook app and did a quick search. Then, she found that the situation was the same as hers. So, it isn’t my phone that has a problem? Is it the system?

Thinking of this, she looked around at everyone. “Do you have Facebook on your phone?”

“Yes.”

“Yup.”

Several people stood up and handed her their phones. Among them, Li Junfeng curled his lips and said, “If you want to see any posts about you, don’t bother. The system has crashed.”

“The system crashed?” Han Muzi frowned in surprise. No wonder everything suddenly disappeared. It turns out that the system crashed. After thinking about it, she turned to ask Li Junfeng, “If the system crashes, how long does it usually take to be up and running again?”

“Well, that depends on the technical skills of the Facebook team.” Li Junfeng pursed his lips and did not dare say anything to tease Han Muzi. He loved beautiful women the most, but when he met excellent women like Han Muzi, he couldn’t say any frivolous comments to her. After all, he would have to raise his head to look up at people who were better than him. It was impossible for him, as someone on the bottom of the pyramid, to tease someone at the top.

Han Muzi couldn’t read Li Junfeng’s mind, but she was relieved internally. Leng Yueyue tried to ask, “Do you want to see your news? This matter seems to be a big mess. There are even tens of thousands of comments on it, and there’s no sign of stopping. Would you like to deal with this urgently?”

“Of course.” Han Muzi didn’t bother hiding it anymore since everyone seemed to be aware of it.

“Do you need my help?” Leng Yueyue asked.
