Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 471
“Help?” Han Muzi hesitated. “You—”
“Don’t underestimate us.” Leng Yueyue patted Han Muzi on the shoulder and then looked at Wang An on her side. “Wang An is a computer expert. He can take a look for you.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi glanced at Wang An.
Seeing that he was known as the computer expert in front of his crush, Wang An was so happy that his eyes seemed to burst into pink lovely bubbles. He immediately nodded and patted his chest confidently. “Don’t worry, let me do it. I’ll hack into their system!” With that, he sat down in front of the computer, and everyone leaned over to him.
Han Muzi was a little skeptical, while pursing her red lips as she watched Wang An in action. Leng Yueyue seemed to see through Han Muzi’s thoughts and softly explained, “A normal computer expert can’t hack into other people’s systems, but Wang An is different. His family does this for a living. You guys must never let anyone else know!”
Han Muzi also felt that it was quite impossible to be able to hack into a system at ease. On top of that, it was illegal to hack into someone else’s system. She would not recommend him to do so, but it was quite difficult to track hackers down either.
While they were waiting for him in boredom, Wang An suddenly increased his typing speed and let out a sudden exclamation which shocked everyone.
“What’s wrong?” Leng Yueyue asked nervously.
“The system… was hacked.”
“What?” Han Muzi was a little surprised. “It was hacked?”
“Yes.” Wang An nodded with a serious expression. “Apart from that, their technique is more clever and powerful than mine. I assume this might give the Facebook team a headache for several days.”
Han Muzi was stunned upon hearing this. Who is this powerful hacker?
“Can you find out who is behind this?” Leng Yueyue asked again.
Wang An started to type on the keyboard again. After a while, he shook his head. “No, I can’t. He is too good. I can’t beat him.”
Leng Yueyue scoffed, “Wang An, is that all you’ve got?”
Being mocked by his crush, Wang An instantly felt upset, but he had no other choice but to keep his sorrows to himself. He quietly vowed to himself to brush up on his skills when he returned home later.
Then, Han Muzi returned to the office calmly.
Ye Moxuan was the main cause of the incident. If it weren’t for him who made such an action, she would not have been photographed, and it would not progress to the point where even her company was revealed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She directly took out her phone as she thought of calling Ye Moxuan to scold him.
However, on second thought, calling him at this time might make him get the wrong idea. After thinking about it, Han Muzi finally opened WeChat, thinking that Ye Moxuan had added her during the press conference and strongly cautioned her not to block him.
Han Muzi found Ye Moxuan’s contact right away and sent him a message. The content was nothing more than accusing him of his actions and telling him that all her personal information had been exposed on the Internet. Then, she asked him to figure a way out.
As it was working hours, Han Muzi didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to reply to her at this time. However, she was stunned after seeing that there was a reply soon after she sent the message. She then looked at Ye Moxuan’s message with a dumbfounded look. ‘Leave it to me.’ It was only a four-word reply, but it inadvertently gave her a sense of security.
What does he mean by that? Will he take care of this matter completely? What is he going to do? While she was deep in her thoughts, the phone in her hand vibrated again. When Han Muzi looked at the message, her mouth twitched into a smile. This time, there were more words than the previous message, but the content was extremely childish. ‘Don’t you dare block me!’
He had said this several times in front of her, but for some reason, the anger that emerged earlier had disappeared. Ye Moxuan was really different from before. In the past, she never thought that he would send a message like this. If it weren’t for what he had said in front of her…
She did not reply to Ye Moxuan’s message. Since he said to leave it to him, she waited quietly to see how he would resolve it. She didn’t want this rampage to extend to her and Little Bean.
Seeing that there was no reply for her, Ye Moxuan called her immediately.
Han Muzi paused for a moment before answering, “What’s up?”
“Did you block me?”
Han Muzi replied, “If I had blocked you, your message wouldn’t have gotten through.”
“Then why didn’t you reply to my message?” Ye Moxuan’s tone sounded like he was grumbling.
“I have seen your message. It’s normal not to reply, right?”
“It’s normal? If I were to view your message and not reply to you, would you be anxious?”
Han Muzi retorted, “What does this have to do with me?”
Ye Moxuan chuckled softly in a low voice that was quite intoxicating. “Of course it matters. It matters because I really care if you reply or not.”
Han Muzi went silent upon hearing that. At that moment, she suddenly felt her cheeks burning for no apparent reason. Yet, she was also furious. After saying that she was very busy and that she had no time to joke with him, she hung up immediately.
Ye Moxuan listened to the busy tone coming from the phone. After hearing her voice just now, he seemed to be able to imagine her anxious expression. Unknowingly, Ye Moxuan’s lips curled up. It’s okay. I can take my time. After all, there is no other man besides her now apart from me.
…
The trouble came quickly. Since Ye Moxuan said he would deal with it, indeed, there wasn’t any news about her the next day. The marketing accounts were very quiet. Although there were still netizens asking about it, they could not get anything since there was no update from these accounts.
Although the trouble online was temporarily settled, it didn’t mean that she could breathe a sigh of relief.
When Han Muzi came to work, she heard that Lin Qingqing was waiting for her in the office. This early in the morning? Han Muzi couldn’t help raising her eyebrows. Sure enough, troubles always came in pairs or more.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi walked toward the office. Yan tugged her arm and warned, “Be careful. She looks like she is in a bad mood. I don’t know who has offended her.” Yan didn’t know that Lin Qingqing and Ye Moxuan were on a blind date, so it was normal for her to think this way.
Apart from her, Leng Yueyue was clueless too. She crossed her hands around her chest. “She is nuts! After being provoked elsewhere, she dares to come here and pull a long face?”
The two of them didn’t know the inside story, and Han Muzi didn’t plan to explain anything to them at this time, so she said indifferently, “I’ll go and see her first.”
“You should be careful,” Yan still reminded in an uneasy voice.
Han Muzi opened the door of the office and saw Lin Qingqing sitting on the sofa. As soon as she walked in, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. As she was her client, Han Muzi donned a polite and professional smile. “Miss Lin, why are you here so early today? If you come next time, you can call me first so that you don’t have to wait for too long.”
Hearing her voice, Lin Qingqing looked at Han Muzi with sarcasm and anger in her eyes. Before she could react, Lin Qingqing threw the documents in her hand toward her. “Is this what you sent me? Can this be called a designer work?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 472
Although it seemed like she threw it with great and harsh effort, the documents were too light to fly and hit Han Muzi’s body. Instead, they fell to her feet.
Han Muzi glanced down at the papers on the ground. It was the design she asked Yan to send to Lin Qingqing. At that time, she spent a long time drawing the designs without any rest. She didn’t even take time off to eat or drink.
After a long pause, Han Muzi bent down to pick up the papers and asked calmly, “Which part are you dissatisfied with? Please tell me, and I can modify it for you.”
Hearing that, Lin Qingqing sneered. “Modify? How dare you take such a poorly-done design to pass it off! Even if I ask you to modify, what can you do?”
In contrast with Lin Qingqing’s savage face, Han Muzi appeared very calm and composed. She smiled and said gently, “Miss Lin, I can modify it to anyhow you want.”
“I’m afraid not.” Lin Qingqing crossed her hands in front of her chest and walked to Han Muzi on high heels with a disdainful look. “After all, people like you are always eyeing other people’s things. Perhaps your design works are plagiarized from somebody else’s. Even if you have already designed it, I dare not wear them on me. I’m afraid that my reputation will be ruined.”
Han Muzi was silent upon hearing this. Her face instantly became cold, and she raised her eyes to look at Lin Qingqing sharply.
The sharp look made Lin Qingqing startled. A touch of fear had actually risen within her.
“Miss Lin, do you know that I can sue you based on what you have just said? It’s considered slander.”
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows. “Slander? Sue me? Did I say anything wrong? Didn’t you take someone else’s things?”
Han Muzi was pretty sure that the reason for Lin Qingqing coming to her was Ye Moxuan, but the way she threw jibes made her unhappy. She put away the design and smiled at Lin Qingqing. “In that case, do tell me, Miss Lin—from who have I taken their stuff? What did I take?”
Hearing that, Lin Qingqing was stumped for a while and couldn’t answer a word.
“You said that I took someone else’s stuff, but I can’t think of anything that I took. Do enlighten me on this, Miss Lin.”
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Qingqing suddenly said angrily, “Han Muzi, stop pretending! Do you dare to say that you didn’t steal any of my things?”
The more furious Lin Qingqing became, the calmer Han Muzi was. She looked at Lin Qingqing nonchalantly, as if she didn’t take what the latter said seriously, nor did she admit it, which made her angrier.
“I’ve already told you, Miss Lin, if you think that I have taken someone else’s things, go ahead and tell me. We can talk it through. But I will not accept unfound criticism. Also, you have been very appreciative of my works, but now you are venting your anger on me based on something that is not true. Don’t you think that this is not in line with your status as the Young Lady of the Lin Family?”
“Are you using your position to hold me down now? Are you threatening me?”
“Miss Lin, don’t make me laugh. You are a client of my company, and Xinghuo introduced you to me. Of course, I will treat you well. On the same note, however, respect is mutual. If you have any questions about my work, you can ask me, and not throw my work directly on the ground. This is a very inappropriate act. Besides, since you said that I have taken someone else’s things, why don’t you tell me directly what I have taken? We can iron the details out,” Han Muzi spoke in a slow and steady way, looking neither humble nor overbearing. At this moment, she looked dignified and educated.
Lin Qingqing was the young lady of a prominent family, so she was well-trained. However, this time, she was really angry, so she lost control of herself and did such a faux pas.
She knew that it was inappropriate of her to act like this, but she couldn’t help herself after seeing Han Muzi’s beautiful face and the nonchalant gaze that formed a cold and charming style.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, “Well, since you are so shameless and you don’t want to admit that you have done such scandals, I shall tell you. You deliberately showed up when I was on a blind date. Did you know that Ye Moxuan and I were dating at that time?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi frowned slightly. “If I knew that you were going on a blind date that day, I wouldn’t go there at all. The most I would do is to keep a distance. Apart from that, Miss Lin, we had an appointment that day, yet you are accusing me of knowing you were on a blind date with Ye Moxuan. Do you think I am a fortune-teller?”
Lin Qingqing’s expression changed immediately. Of course, she didn’t mean it that way. That day, she did make an appointment with Han Muzi to look at her designs in the afternoon, but the abrupt blind date made her so excited that she forgot about the appointment with Han Muzi.
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip and defended herself, “So what? Even if you didn’t know, why did you always show up after that? You obviously have some ill intentions toward him. Now, everything is going according to your plans! I didn’t expect you to be this way. I am your client, yet you snatch your client’s boyfriend!”
“Boyfriend?” Han Muzi repeated this word while looking deeply at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing felt a little guilty when Han Muzi stared at her. When she and Ye Moxuan went on a blind date, Ye Moxuan was dissatisfied with her and had no romantic interest in her at all. However, Lin Qingqing felt that if she could be with such a man, she would be the happiest woman in the world. Moreover, how could she remain unfazed when faced with such an eligible bachelor like Ye Moxuan who treated women as nobody?
Almost every woman wanted to be the most special person to him, and Lin Qingqing was one of them.
She found herself to be quite charming, but when Ye Moxuan held Han Muzi in his arms at the press conference, his vindictive expression seemed to be telling everyone, ‘This is my woman! None of you can touch her!’
Outrageous! It should be me who is being hugged by him! But this Han Muzi had taken advantage of it first!
“Miss Lin, if I remember correctly, you only said that you had a blind date with him, but you didn’t say that he was your boyfriend.”
“So what? He is my blind date, and sooner or later, he will be my boyfriend. But what did you do instead? You snatched him away from me!”
“Miss Lin.” Han Muzi stared at her solemnly. “You’re an adult, aren’t you? I don’t think I should be teaching you this—if he is yours, no one can take it away from you. But he is not yours—he is just your blind date. You said that I snatched him away from you. Did I take the initiative to talk to him? Did I seduce him? If I’m not mistaken, you were the one who invited me over in the subsequent meeting.” At this point, Han Mu’s red lips curled up slightly, revealing a touch of sarcasm. “I’m afraid that you thought he was interested in my design, so you pulled me over, right? It’s a pity that you got him wrong.”
The thoughts in Lin Qingqing’s mind were being revealed so thoroughly. Lin Qingqing didn’t expect that Han Muzi would speak out her thoughts so quickly and accurately, so her face shifted between white and red for a while. It was a rather amusing sight to behold.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 473
“T-These are all your assumptions! You snatch someone else’s blind date, yet you are so arrogant! All of your designs are rubbish!”
Han Muzi’s expression turned cold immediately. “I have already made myself clear. I did not snatch your blind date, and he is not your boyfriend, so there is no question of snatching anyone or not. Let’s get back to business. Miss Lin, which part of my design are you not satisfied with? Let’s talk about this instead.”
Of course, Lin Qingqing was not dissatisfied with her work. On the contrary, she was totally satisfied with Han Muzi’s work. However, after seeing Ye Moxuan held her in his arms, she instantly felt that the designs were disgusting.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing sneered, “Your designs are very different from what I wanted. Redraw them.” She simply wanted to give Han Muzi a hard time.
“Redraw?” Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Well, then you have to tell me what you want.”
“I want it to be gorgeous! Make it as gorgeous as possible!” Lin Qingqing said directly.
“Okay.” Han Muzi nodded. “Since you have clearly stated the requirements, I shall design according to what you said.”
“I want it by tomorrow morning,” Lin Qingqing added. Han Muzi was stunned for a moment and stared at her subconsciously.
After seeing Han Muzi’s predicament, Lin Qingqing was so vindictive that she looked at her proudly with her hands crossed in front of her chest. “What is it? You can’t make it?”
Han Muzi stared at her for a while before nodding. “Of course I can, Miss Lin. Please come back tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” Lin Qingqing put her hands aside and picked up her bag. She sneered, “Then I shall look forward to Miss Han’s work tomorrow.”
With that, she stepped aside to walk out of the office. When she reached Han Muzi, she stopped in front of her and stared at her. “You are running a company now. I have a piece of advice for you—you better think twice before doing anything. You have to pay the price after snatching someone else’s man.”
With that, she slammed into Han Muzi’s shoulder hard and trotted away like a rooster that had won the battle.
Han Muzi stood rooted to the ground with the design still in her hand.
After Lin Qingqing went out, Leng Yueyue and Yan, who were eavesdropping outside the door, walked in sneakily.
“Damn, that Lin Qingqing is evil! She has the audacity to say that you snatch her boyfriend away? It’s just a blind date! Since when has he become her boyfriend? Doesn’t she have any dignity?” Yan was a straightforward person, so she cursed directly after entering.
Leng Yueyue, however, observed Han Muzi’s expression and said dejectedly, “I overheard your conversation just now. I think she has a problem. She may be fantasizing that Ye Moxuan is her future husband. I’m sure many women are dying to marry a man like Young Master Ye.”
Han Muzi pursed her lips and did not reply to them.
“Muzi, she’s too much. She wants us to complete a design by tomorrow morning, and she simply gave us ‘gorgeous’ as an idea. How would you know if she won’t continue to look for trouble again tomorrow?”
Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I’m sure she will.”
“In that case, why did you promise her?”
“What else can I do?” Han Muzi walked to her desk and sat down with a calm expression.
Seeing her calm look, Yan was very anxious and walked to her. “Don’t be like this, okay? She bullied you to this point, yet you’re still tolerating it.”
Leng Yueyue also came over. “If I were you, I would definitely give this kind of a woman a huge slap in the face. Not only is she a narcissist, but she also pushes the blame on you. Besides, it’s not like you want this to happen! She should go to Ye Moxuan, not you.”
“No way. You can bear it, but I can’t. I’ll go to talk to her now!” Yan rolled up her sleeves and turned around, looking as if she was going to fight Lin Qingqing.
“Come back!” Han Muzi called her coldly.
Yan stopped and turned her head around resentfully. “Muzi, are you going to stop me?”
Han Muzi stood up and sighed. “So what if you go argue with her? She is now our client. Have you forgotten how we should treat our clients? Besides, the problem can only be solved at its core. You giving her a piece of your mind will only make things worse.”
Hearing that, Leng Yueyue also thought that what she said was reasonable, so she nodded in agreement. “Although I’m quite angry, I think Muzi is right. It’s better if we don’t go.” She turned to look at Han Muzi. “Then, what are you going to do? She wants you to give her a design tomorrow morning. Are you going to take all the time to redraw it for her like last time, without taking any rest?”
Han Muzi shook her head. “I’m not going to draw.”
“You’re not?” Leng Yueyue’s eyes widened.
“No, I will still draw, but… I’ll simply give her something.”
After all, no matter what she designed, it would only be rubbish for Lin Qingqing. Even if she took out her award-winning work and put it in front of her, Lin Qingqing would not hesitate to throw her work on the floor. This was because her emotions had clouded her reasoning.
Ye Moxuan… Han Muzi’s eyes gradually darkened as she thought, This b*stard. After he approached me, he brought me nothing but trouble.
Han Muzi felt a headache when she thought about the recurrence of this kind of thing in the future.
How could she get rid of this man who followed her around? How did he change so much after five years? Han Muzi fervently hoped that he was the same as before—arrogant, lofty, and treated her as if she was insignificant. But now, he was so shameless that he even threatened her not to block his WeChat. What a headache!
After the door locks were changed, the house needed to be cleaned, and moving would take some time as well. Since the day after tomorrow was the weekend, Han Muzi planned to clean up and move over soon.
Han Muzi, Yan, and Little Bean had just returned to the country for a short time, so they didn’t have much belongings. The house was also fully furnished, which only required them to bring their suitcase at most if they wanted to move right away.
That night, Han Muzi drew a random draft and went to bed. When she saw Little Bean lie on the bed while reading his comic book, she frowned and said, “Little Bean, you can’t read a book while lying down. It’s bad for your eyes.”
Hearing that, Little Bean quickly put his comic book aside. “Mommy, I forgot! Mommy, please don’t be angry.”
Han Muzi glanced at him helplessly and stretched out her hand to pinch his nose. “You naughty fella! We’ll pack up and move to a new house in two days, and you will have your own room to sleep in.”
“Hmm…” Little Bean felt a little depressed and aggrieved upon hearing that. “But I want to be with you! Can I not sleep alone? I’m afraid of the dark!”
“Afraid of the dark? You are already five years old, yet you are still afraid of the dark? Aren’t you supposed to be a brave little man?”
Little Bean hugged her arm and said, “Mommy, please…”
“Hush, you will have to sleep on your own when you grow up. You can’t rely on me forever.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 474
“But I’m still young…” Little Bean looked sorrowful. “And I only have you to dote on me.”
It was this topic again. She rubbed Little Bean’s head and said softly, “Be patient and wait for a while more. Give me some time. I will definitely find you a daddy.”
“It’s a deal, Mommy.”
Her phone vibrated, so Han Muzi shot a glance at it. It was a message from Ye Moxuan.
“Mommy, your phone is ringing,” Little Bean reminded her and thoughtfully went to get her phone. However, Han Muzi’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly grabbed his little arm. “Little Bean, it’s late. Go to bed quickly. Young children can’t go to bed too late.”
“Alright!” Little Bean nodded and lay down beside her. He closed his eyes obediently and tried to sleep.
After a while, when his breathing gradually became even, Han Muzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she quietly took her phone over and turned it to silent mode so that it would not disturb Little Bean’s sleep.
It was a WeChat message from Ye Moxuan. ‘The matter has been resolved. How are you going to thank me?’
Seeing this message, Han Muzi was perplexed. Is there something wrong with this man? How was he not shameful to ask her to thank him after everything that had happened? If it weren’t for him, would so many things happen to her?
Han Muzi couldn’t help rolling her eyes as she typed her message out. ‘Young Master Ye, if it weren’t for your shocking behavior, my identity wouldn’t have been exposed to the public at all, and my company wouldn’t even be exposed in the first place. Who knows if I would be personally attacked or encounter some dangers in the future?’
Not long after the message was sent, she received a reply within seconds. ‘Who the hell dares to touch my woman?’
Han Muzi was speechless when she saw that. In fact, when she first saw that reply, her heart skipped a beat, but she soon felt exasperated again.
She didn’t want to talk to him, so she left her phone aside, went to brush her teeth and wash her face to get prepared to sleep. When she came back to bed, she saw that her phone screen was lit. It was another message from Ye Moxuan. ‘I will send someone to protect your safety so that you will not be harmed.’
Upon seeing him saying that he would provide protection for her safety, Han Muzi felt that he had at least some conscience in him after all. But she didn’t want to talk to him still, so she turned off her phone and went to bed.
The next day, when Han Muzi arrived at the company early in the morning, she was already mentally prepared to face Lin Qingqing who would pick on her. However, it was quite strange, for Lin Qingqing did not show up after she waited all morning.
Logically speaking, seeing her arrogant attitude yesterday, she should show up on time today. But, why was she not here until noon? Han Muzi couldn’t suppress the curiosity within her heart and sent a message to Lin Xinghuo.
Lin Xinghuo was an actress. In addition to filming, she had to film various advertisements every day, so she was very busy. When she was free, she was so tired that she would just close her eyes and fall asleep. Moreover, Lin Xinghuo was quite a careless person. She would often fall asleep while putting on makeup.
Right now, she had just finished a scene, and she was so tired that she lay down on the sofa and fell soundly asleep.
Chen Fei stepped forward and patted her face. “You can’t sleep now. Get up and wash off your makeup before going to sleep.”
“Go away!” Lin Xinghuo punched and kicked Chen Fei as she said irritably, “I am going to sleep right now! I don’t care about removing any makeup. I’m exhausted…”
Chen Fei had no choice but to wink at the assistant, who quickly delivered the makeup remover and cotton pad to him. Chen Fei sat next to her and patiently removed Lin Xinghuo’s makeup.
“Is it the last scene today?” Lin Xinghuo asked tiredly.
Seeing her tired look, Chen Fei felt sorry for her. After removing the eye makeup, the dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible. However, since they had already accepted the advertisements, they had no other options. “You can sleep comfortably for five hours. There’s another event you have to participate in at night.”
When Lin Xinghuo heard that, she pretended that she had already fallen asleep and did not answer him.
Beep! Beep! The phone rang twice; it was a WeChat notification tone.
Of course, Lin Xinghuo wouldn’t take it, hence Chen Fei took out her phone and took a look while helping her remove her makeup.
“Your cousin asked if you are coming home for the family dinner tonight.”
“I’ll pass,” Lin Xinghuo immediately said in a cold tone. “Can’t she see that I’m so tired?”
Chen Fei politely replied on behalf of Lin Xinghuo, then he went to read another message.
“Oh, the second message is from your idol. Guess what she sent—”
Before he could finish, Lin Xinghuo, who was like a dead fish earlier, sat up straight and grabbed the phone. Then, she looked at the phone joyously while replying to their messages.
Seeing the way she held her phone, Chen Fei couldn’t help giving some snide remarks, “If I didn’t know you well, the way you’re acting right now would really make me rethink your sexual orientation.”
Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo sneered and rolled her eyes at him. “What do you know? Muzi is my idol, understand?” Then, she happily replied to Han Muzi.
Beep!
It had been half an hour later when Han Muzi received Lin Xinghuo’s reply. Lin Xinghuo first sent a crying emoji and explained that she hadn’t seen the message just now because she was filming, so she didn’t reply until now.
After Han Muzi reassured her that it was fine, Lin Xinghuo told her that Lin Qingqing had gone back to attend the family dinner today and might stay at home all day. After that, she felt that something was wrong, and so she asked Han Muzi if Lin Qingqing had given her any trouble.
Lin Xinghuo might seem silly and unobservant most of the time, but she was sensible and smart whenever she needed to be. Han Muzi knew that she couldn’t hide this matter from her and admitted with a smile.
‘I knew it! I’ve already told you that she’s no kind soul. See, she even picked on you! I’m gonna warn you, you have to be careful around her. She is quite sinister, so you have to think of a way to deal with her.’
Seeing this, Han Muzi even suspected whether Lin Qingqing was really Lin Xinghuo’s cousin. Otherwise, why would the latter take her side?
However, if Lin Qingqing went to her family dinner, did it mean that Han Muzi would not be harassed by her today? It would be great since she wanted to spend this weekend quietly. In that case, she would think about the solution next week.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi asked Lin Xinghuo to take a good rest and logged off from their conversation.
Indeed, there was no news about her on the Internet now. The Internet seemed to have a surveillance team monitoring its activities everywhere. Even if there were netizens who would post something, that account would be blocked immediately. No one was able to discuss it. Ye Moxuan’s power was very strong indeed, at least on the Internet.
Han Muzi ended the day’s work in peace and went home.
Soon, the weekend was here. Since they were moving to a new house today, they got up early in the morning and brought three maids with them to clean the house together. It was a reasonably-sized house, but it definitely wasn’t small when it came to cleaning up. They would definitely be exhausted if they didn’t have several pairs of helping hands.
Han Qing personally drove them there, with Mr. Nan following behind as well.
An empty new home had become lively all of a sudden.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 475
Thinking that the furnishing in Han Muzi’s new house was not enough, Han Qing made a few calls to buy some things for her. Since the original owner had never lived there, the furnishing was still lacking here and there despite the completed renovation work, for example, the lack of decorations on the wall and ornaments on the table. Han Qing noticed these and helped her to buy them.
Meanwhile, Little Bean also joined everyone in cleaning the house, and everyone was busy with their own chores.
While they were busy doing work, they were chatting merrily with each other.
When everything was done, they realized that they were too tired to even move. Little Bean and Yan simply hugged each other and fell asleep on the couch without minding their image.
The maids were more restrained. Although they were very tired, they remained seated primly on the side and dared not make any complaints or showed it despite their exhaustive faces.
“It’s been a hard day for everyone. There is a room upstairs. You should go take a rest. When you have finished resting, I will invite everyone out for dinner.
The three maids were moved by her offer, but they waved their hands timidly. “No thanks, Miss Muzi. We are all quite filthy. If we go upstairs to rest, we will smear your quilt. We’ll just sit here for a while.”
Han Muzi smiled. “You have helped me so much today. How can I not let you rest? Go upstairs quickly. We have enough rooms.”
They were still trying to reject Han Muzi’s offer, reluctant to go upstairs. In the end, Han Qing ushered, “I’ll ask Mr. Nan to send them home to wash up and rest, then I’ll give them three days off. Will that be better?”
Han Muzi was speechless when she heard that. Her brother really understood her well.
When the maids heard that, their faces were flushed with joy. Three days of leave was a luxury for many, though they were still a little embarrassed.
“In that case, Mr. Nan will send you back first. We’ll take a rain check on the dinner.”
“Thank you, Miss Muzi. We shall take our leave first.” The maids looked at her gratefully before going out with Mr. Nan.
After they left, Han Qing couldn’t help bumping his fist on Han Muzi’s head gently. “Actually, this is part of their responsibilities. You don’t have to feel so guilty.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi froze for a while before saying, “Nothing should be taken for granted. Although the Han Family paid them to work, it is fine for them as long as they do their job well. But, it’s different for me to ask them to come over and clean this up for me.”
“Is there any difference in cleaning at the Han residence compared to cleaning for you here?”
“The mood is different.” Han Muzi raised her eyes and glanced at Han Qing. “At least to me, because they are not hired by me.”
Han Qing paused and understood where she was coming from. He didn’t say anything else after that.
“Qing, you should take a rest too. I’ll go upstairs and have a look.” With that, she walked to the second floor.
This was one of the great points of the duplex house. It had a spiral staircase with a huge crystal chandelier in the middle. Although it was exquisite, it was not too luxurious and quite pleasing to look at.
After walking around the entire house, Han Muzi felt that it was a great decision to buy this place. She took a shower and got changed before falling on the bed. In fact, she was also very tired, so she fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Then, she was woken up by the vibration of her phone. Perhaps she was too tired, for she immediately answered the phone without looking at the caller ID. She put the phone directly next to her ear and said a weak ‘hello’.
Ye Moxuan couldn’t help frowning when he heard her tired and confused voice. What’s wrong with this woman? “What did you do last night?”
A cold and deep attractive voice rang in her ears. Han Muzi was startled, but she was a little confused. She looked at the phone and found out that it was Ye Moxuan.
“How may I help you?” She still couldn’t muster any energy within her and felt that everything in front of her was dark; she hadn’t been so tired for a long time. After waking up, she felt that her limbs had gone soft and even trembled a little.
“You have to serve me 24 hours a day. I want to see your designs today.”
Han Muzi paused for a moment before saying, “Sorry, I don’t work on weekends.”
Ye Moxuan arched his eyebrows and curled his lips. “When we signed the contract, you didn’t state that you don’t work on weekends. Did you change it suddenly?”
“That’s right.” Han Muzi nodded immediately. After knowing that she did not divorce this man, and seeing how he pestered her all the time, Han Muzi didn’t feel like treating him as a client anymore. Since he was so unabashed about his actions, she decided to treat him with her worst attitude. Anyway, it would be best if he became angry and wanted to cancel the contract. If he didn’t get angry, then she would continue treating him this way. If he didn’t mind, she wouldn’t care either. “I’ve added this rule at the last minute. Do you have any objections?”
Ye Moxuan didn’t know how to reply at that instant and fell silent. He never thought that Han Muzi would suddenly change her tactics. Before this, she treated him as a client, but recently, she was not afraid of him anymore and treated him rudely without any respect.
Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan’s thin lips curled into an evil smile. “Since my wife is giving out orders, how dare I have any objections?”
When Han Muzi heard him suddenly addressing her as his wife, all her sleepiness was gone in that instant. She was taken aback and her phone fell on the pillow with a soft thud.
As the room was too quiet, Ye Moxuan probably heard the phone fall, thereafter she heard his attractive laughter. This b*stard…
After Han Muzi returned to her senses, she gritted her teeth and picked up the phone again. “Ye Moxuan, please conduct yourself. We will get divorced sooner or later, so don’t call me that again.”
“Who said so?” Ye Moxuan chuckled in a vindictive tone. “You haven’t succeeded in the last five years. Do you think it will be possible in the future?”
Han Muzi fell silent upon hearing that.
“If you are bored, please go to your company to make yourself useful, or you can help some poor people. Please don’t disturb my sleep.” After that, Han Muzi did not give him a chance to react and hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the dial tone from the phone, Ye Moxuan was taken aback for a moment. “Foolish woman, her temper is getting more outrageous these days…” Not long after that, he murmured again, “I wonder who has been spoiling her…”
After Han Muzi threw the phone aside, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep again, but it was a pity that she couldn’t calm down after being disturbed by Ye Moxuan’s words and voice. She lay down for a while longer with her eyes closed before sitting up again.
Although she didn’t treat him as a client now, she didn’t need to treat him as her previous client. She could just drive him away and ask him to get lost. However, it was not easier than before.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi sighed. She wondered when she could get rid of him. When she thought about the divorce, her hands were tied. Initially, she thought that she had grown a lot in the past five years, yet that man had also become smarter over the last five years. He had particularly become more thick-skinned.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 476
Han Muzi and the rest of them moved in officially at last. They slept through the night at the new place. After waking up, Yan walked in a very strange manner. “Damn it. If it weren’t for toilet bowls, I would not have been able to squat down on a squat toilet.” Yan massaged her sore legs and her face twisted in a painful grimace. “I merely did some cleaning up in the morning. Why do my legs feel like jelly? They are rather useless, aren’t they?” she pointed at her legs while complaining loudly.
Han Muzi was no better. The two of them rarely exercised, and the sudden physical activities took a toll on them. It caused them muscle soreness as well as fatigue.
Han Muzi didn’t look good herself. Fortunately, today was a Sunday. If it were a Monday, she was quite sure she wouldn’t be able to go to work in high heels.
“By the way, Lin Qingqing did not drop by yesterday. I’m sure she would charge at us on Monday with a vengeance which has been brewing over the weekend.”
Han Muzi pursed her lips at the mention of Lin Qingqing, but she didn’t reply to Yan.
“You don’t want to be with Ye Moxuan, but he wouldn’t stop pestering you. Lin Qingqing is in love with him, and that is why she has been targeting you. Muzi… You have to find a solution because Lin Qingqing is our client at the moment. This will not work in the long run. We can’t handle it the same way as before every single time this happens, can we?”
“I’m thinking about that too,” Han Muzi lowered her eyes. She still believed whoever started the trouble should end it. This is the trouble that Ye Moxuan got himself into on a blind date. What does it have to do with me? It gives me a headache for that woman to show up out of nowhere and raise a ruckus at my place.
Han Muzi felt uncomfortable at the thought of Ye Moxuan going on blind dates despite not being divorced from her. Hah, and to think that he has the audacity to claim that we have yet to divorce! Why did he go on blind dates then if we aren’t divorced? Without realizing it, Han Muzi’s anger was silently brewing in her chest.
“What are you thinking about?” Yan approached her and asked an important question, “To be honest, the other day when we were at the restaurant, did you ask me to leave on purpose with Little Bean because you were worried that he might see Little Bean?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by the sudden question, and she became paler. Indeed, she was afraid of that.
Yan continued persistently, “He’s persistent in pursuing you. Is it because he knows that Little Bean is his son?”
Han Muzi was shocked to hear that. “His son?”
“That’s right. The resemblance is so striking that you can tell at once that it’s his son,” Yan commented absentmindedly with a nod.
However, Yan’s words were like an electrical current that sent a jolt to Han Muzi. She bit her lip, and her thoughts became jumbled up. If Little Bean is his son, then that strange man in the car all those years ago… Her memory was fragmented at best, but it was accompanied by a surge of emotions that were overwhelming to her. Han Muzi suddenly felt like she couldn’t breathe due to the outpouring of emotions. Hence, she had no choice but to retreat from the situation as soon as she could.
“Let’s not talk about this. I don’t want him to be aware of the existence of the child. If something like that happens again, Yan… you have to help me!” Han Muzi gazed at Yan earnestly toward the end, which was sincere and intense.
Although Yan didn’t understand the reasons for Han Muzi doing so, no reasons were needed between close friends. Yan knew that she just had to go along with it, and so she nodded in acknowledgment.
On the other hand, Ye Moxuan was quite shameless because he phoned her the next day and chatted about random things. Some of them were random things young couples did when they were madly in love. While Han Muzi found it boring, Ye Moxuan seemed to be enjoying himself.
“Ye Moxuan, if you’re really that bored, I have something for you to do.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
Han Muzi answered emotionlessly, “I hope you can handle the trouble with your women you’ve got yourself into.”
Ye Moxun was stumped when he heard that. Something struck him, and he smiled in delight. “Oh? Are you jealous?”
Han Muzi smirked. “Young Master Ye, you have such a fantastic imagination. You may be enjoying yourself among these women—in fact, it doesn’t matter how many dates you go on or how many intimate female friends you have, but please don’t drag me into it.”
After saying that, she was met with silence on the other end of the line. After a few seconds, he asked in a quiet and deep voice, “Did she cause you any trouble?” The identity of ‘she’ in his question was self-explanatory.
However, Han Muzi felt ridiculed, and so she answered acidly, “I wonder who are you referring to when you say ‘she’?”
“You don’t have to be so harsh with your comments.” Ye Moxuan smiled. “Otherwise… I might have the impression that you still care about me, Muzi.”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words.
He deepened his voice on purpose when he called her name, and it sounded seductive and enticing. It sounded melodious like the cello, which tugged at her heartstrings.
Han Muzi felt as if she had a huge blow against her heart, and stars burst in her vision. However, she regained her composure swiftly, and she bit her lower lip hard before answering coldly, “In any case, I don’t want to handle these troubles you’ve caused which has nothing to do with me.” With that, she hung up on Ye Moxuan promptly.
After that, she stared at her phone in annoyance. Yan was sitting beside her, with her chin propped up on her palms, looking rather depressed. “I’ve noticed that your temper has gotten worse ever since you met him.”
Han Muzi hesitated before answering, “I don’t mean to.”
“You should learn to control yourself,” advised Yan seriously.
Han Muzi reached out to touch her forehead while feeling embarrassed. Her lips twitched and she replied to Yan, “I will try my best. I just get so angry every time I bump into him.”
Yan leaned her cheek against her knuckles while being deep in thought. “Are you jealous?”
Han Muzi’s eyebrows shot up. “What? Of course not!”
“Then why are you so mad? And you’ve mentioned it to him several times with deliberate emphasis. You make it seem like you’re particularly concerned about it.”
Han Muzi pondered before asking, “Yan, are you hoping for me to sort this matter out myself?”
Yan shook her head hastily.
“In that case, it’s best to let him handle it. He brought this upon us after all. Plus, he caused me so much trouble; I need to vent by hurting him with my words. I’m not jealous! Do you understand?”
Yan had a blank expression, but she nodded anyway. “I understand!”
Although Yan claimed that she understood, Han Muzi sensed that she didn’t truly understand. However, if she were to pursue this, it would feel as if she was hiding something. Her lips parted, but she stopped herself from explaining further. Forget it, we are best friends after all. She has the right to think whatever she wants. Han Muzi then went upstairs with her phone.
On the other side of the city.
After the end of the phone call, Ye Moxuan sat still to ponder for a very long time. Taking into account the fact that the other woman might have caused trouble for Han Muzi recently, he immediately sent a message to her via WeChat.
Lin Qingqing was over the moon upon receiving a message from Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan’s text asked, ‘Are you free tomorrow?’
Lin Qingqing waited for a while before replying to him, ‘I have piano practice tomorrow, but I can take leave to head out. What’s the matter?’
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 477
It was the same restaurant because it was near to Han Muzi’s company and Ye Moxuan wasn’t in the mood to pick another restaurant. Hence, he decided to meet Lin Qingqing in the same restaurant that they met.
Ye Moxuan’s charming image always turned him into the center of attention wherever he went. He had shown up at the restaurant two to three times, so the staff who worked there recognized him. Now that they saw him again, the staff hid behind the counter and started gossiping in hushed tones.
Lin Qingqing was rather upset when she saw that. She was well aware of how dazzling Ye Moxuan was. That was why she was so upset when she saw that he was the center of attention. She felt utterly regretful that Han Muzi had robbed her of such an outstanding man, and not to mention that she was the one who invited Han Muzi over. Why wasn’t I more guarded previously, seeing that he is such an outstanding man? I should have known he would have made any woman’s heart flutter!
Lin Qingqing glanced at the man, who was sitting across her, when she thought of that. He took the initiative to ask her out; despite her anxiety, she wasn’t happy at all because she wasn’t sure what Ye Moxuan wanted to tell her.
Lin Qingqing had no choice but to gaze agonizingly at the man across the table while biting her lower lip nervously. “M-Moxuan, you…”
Upon hearing her voice, Ye Moxuan looked up at her with a steely gaze. He stared at her sharply while stating, “Miss Lin, I don’t think we are close enough to be on a first-name basis.” His words were as cold and ruthless as before, his tone void of warmth and emotions.
Lin Qingqing felt her heart sink, but she bit her lower lip before asking, “Isn’t this a blind date? What is wrong if I address you by your first name?”
Ye Moxuan gave her a mocking look when he heard that, and his fingers drummed against the table absentmindedly. “That’s right, we are on a blind date, but haven’t you noticed how I’ve addressed you, Miss Lin? Didn’t I tell you from the very beginning when we first met? You are obviously not my type.”
Lin Qingqing’s face turned even paler. This man is blatantly saying such things to my face. I wish the ground would just swallow me up! However… the harsher he treats me, the deeper I find myself entangled in this web of love. I know I’m asking for it, but I truly am very in love with him.
Lin Qingqing bit her lower lip so forcefully that she almost drew blood, and she was fidgeting so hard underneath the table that her nails punctured her fingertips. The piercing pain made her clear-headed. The hatred and jealousy spread rapidly throughout her body like wildfire while she glared at Ye Moxuan. “It’s because of her, isn’t it?”
Ye Moxuan frowned deeply.
“Why?” Lin Qingqing accused him in frustration, “I am the one going on blind dates with you, but why do you treat her differently? What’s so great about her?”
Ye Moxuan pursed his lips while regarding her coldly. His gaze looked like he was staring at a mere stranger.
Why? I’ve been on so many blind dates with him, but he’s still staring at me like I’m a total stranger. Yet, he hugged and even picked that woman up at the press conference.
“What is the reason? How am I not as good as her? What’s wrong with me? Can’t you tell me? I can improve according to your preferences.”
Ye Moxuan chuckled mirthlessly when he heard that. “Miss Lin, you might have misunderstood something. She has something that you don’t. Hence, you should stop wasting your efforts.”
“What is it?” Lin Qingqing hissed while biting her lip, “What does she have that I don’t?”
“I asked you out today to clear things up with you. Stop harassing her in the future!”
Upon hearing that, Lin Qingqing finally realized what this was about. She stared at the ruthless man in shock before smirking at him. “I see. So she complained to you, huh? Such a narrow-minded woman! Do you like that type of woman? Do you know that she already has a—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Moxuan stood up abruptly and cut her off with an icy voice, “I fancy narrow-minded women. What are you going to do about it? Miss Lin, it’s better for women to at least have some self-respect.” He scanned the surroundings after saying that. His thin lips were alluring, but his words were void of emotions. “If I find out that you harass her once again, don’t blame me for making a move against the Lin Family.” After his warning, Ye Moxuan gave her a pointed look before turning around to leave the restaurant.
Lin Qingqing sat stunned on her seat in silence, and she felt a chill running down her spine. I didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to be so in love with Han Muzi in such a short time. I thought I’d still stand a chance, but… why is he doing this?”
Lin Qingqing couldn’t stop herself when she thought of that. Then, she grabbed her handbag and chased after him. “Ye Moxuan!” She chased after him and arrived at the parking lot. She then glared angrily at his back. “What is it that she has but I don’t?”
“You don’t deserve to know.” Ye Moxuan wasn’t even planning to tell her that. He got into the car after saying that, and drove off, leaving Lin Qingqing standing alone on the spot.
After a while, Lin Qingqing balled her fists in resentment while hissing through gritted teeth, “Han Muzi, I will not let you off the hook!!! Do you think you can retreat right after snatching away my man? Dream on! I, Lin Qingqing, am not a pushover!”
…
“Achoo!” Han Muzi sneezed twice in the middle of a meeting.
The group was stunned to silence, whereas Yan glanced at her anxiously. “Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?”
Han Muzi rubbed her nose while shaking her head. She responded with a faint smile. “I’m fine, let’s continue discussing the plans for this week.” However, she was rather distressed. Why did I sneeze twice for no reason?
After the meeting, Yan approached Han Muzi when she was arranging her documents. “A sneeze indicates that someone is missing you, whereas two sneezes mean someone is cursing you.”
Han Muzi paused what she was doing when she heard that. Then, she glanced at Yan before asking her incredulously, “Since when do you believe in such things?” With that, she picked her files up and walked out. Yan grabbed her things and rushed after her hastily.
“Because it’s fun! Am I not allowed to even mention it? Besides, I think my sixth sense is rather accurate. Maybe Lin Qingqing is cursing you behind your back.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by her response.
“Don’t you have another enemy other than Lin Qingqing? The girl called Zhao Yiru.”
Han Muzi paused for a while before continuing to move forward. She had a resigned look across her face. Who would have thought I would offend two different people within such a short time after returning home? First, Zhao Yiru, then Lin Qingqing. Although I’m not worried that they might do anything to me… these are all potential troubles. I’m not even sure how Ye Moxuan is planning to handle the matter. I wonder if he could resolve it smoothly without having anything backfire on me.
However, the reality proved that Ye Moxuan did not handle it well despite claiming that he would. In the afternoon, Lin Qingqing dropped by to make a scene again. Only this time, she was not alone—she had brought several friends with her.
“Miss Han, all of them love the work you did for Xinghuo. It just so happened that I know you, so I brought them over. I hope you wouldn’t mind.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 478
The group of girls was dressed beautifully, and they all looked like young ladies of wealthy families.
They were clad in designer brands from head to toe and they were all dressed up fashionably and charmingly. However… a quick glance at their gazes, and it was apparent that they do not come in peace.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing wants nothing more than to rip me apart. How could she possibly recommend potential clients to me? They are all here to cause trouble, but I can’t just chase them out. Hence, Han Muzi had no choice but to flash them a bright smile. “Why would I mind since you’re bringing me business, Miss Lin?”
Han Muzi smiled and instructed Yan to lead them to the lounge, then explained that she would be there soon.
As such, Yan led the group to the lounge, whereas Han Muzi returned to her office. She picked up some documents and introduction booklets. However, Han Muzi recalled Lin Qingqing’s devious look earlier, and she just had to phone Ye Moxuan.
“I see you are finally taking the initiative to phone me. How may I help you?” Ye Moxuan asked teasingly.
Han Muzi asked in an icy tone, “Have you handled the issue? Is this your way of handling the problem?”
Ye Moxuan was stunned to silence on the other end of the line. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes dangerously while asking, “What do you mean?”
“She brought a group of people to my office. Ye Moxuan, were you solving the problem, or were you provoking her?”
Ye Moxuan was at a loss for words. After a while, he smirked. “Ha! Such persistence! In that case, wait for me.”
“Wait for you?”
“Wait for me to come over.”
Click! Ye Moxuan hung up straight away, as if afraid that she might reject him.
Upon hearing that he was coming over, Han Muzi felt relieved somehow. In all honesty, I did not want to ask Ye Moxuan for help. However, I feel that Lin Qingqing is targeting me due to Ye Moxuan. Besides, I’ve never taken the initiative to approach him, so I refuse to take the fall for this. It’s best to let Ye Moxuan solve this issue in person. It doesn’t matter how they want to resolve it as long as I’m not dragged into it.
After pocketing her phone, Han Muzi made her way to the lounge. When she arrived at the door, Han Muzi heard the clinking sounds of china hitting the floor followed by a shriek of surprise and someone scolding loudly, “Are you blind? How dare you spill coffee on me?! Did you do that on purpose?”
Smack! When Han Muzi arrived at the door, she happened to see one of the women slapping Yan across her face.
She was too fast, and Yan wasn’t expecting it. Hence, after the slap, Yan stood rooted to the spot in shock.
Han Muzi’s expression soured immediately, and she marched forward. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Yan snapped back to her senses at Han Muzi’s voice. She was either extremely angry after the slap or she thought that Lin Qingqing brought them over to cause trouble, so she acted boldly and decisively by splashing the remaining coffee in the cup at that woman.
“Argh!!!” That woman shrieked, “Are you insane? How dare you actually splash coffee on me?!”
Yan stood there while staring at her with an evil gleam in her eyes. She then cackled mirthlessly, “Weren’t you accusing me of splashing coffee over you? Shouldn’t I commit the actual crime in order for your slap to be worth it?” Then, Yan threw the cup at the woman’s feet. “Do you really think that I’m an easy target? How dare you slap me?!” With that, Yan rolled her sleeves up as if she was ready to rush over for a fight.
The group of women was here to make a scene, but they weren’t expecting Yan to actually fight back. Thus, they were all dumbfounded.
Han Muzi was stumped as well, but she quickly approved of Yan’s methods.
“You all went overboard!” The woman, who had coffee splashed on her, started crying. On the other hand, Lin Qingqing’s expression soured as well. She pointed at Han Muzi and scolded at the top of her voice, “Han Muzi, what’s the meaning of this? Is this how you treat your clients? I was kind enough to recommend clients to you, but here you are mistreating them!”
“Did you say you were kind enough to recommend clients to me?” Before Han Muzi could reply to her, Yan charged at her furiously. “How dare you! I served you coffee, and what did you do? You tripped me on purpose, causing me to spill the coffee. Then, you took the chance and accused me. However, you weren’t expecting this, were you? I am not an easy target for you bullies!”
Lin Qingqing did not expect her to be so fierce and bold, so she screamed aloud, “Great! Forget the fact that you refuse to apologize after splashing coffee on her. How dare you twist the truth! I’ll post this on the Internet stating that your company has horrible customer service, so don’t dream of continuing your operations in North City!” With that, Lin Qingqing took her phone out.
Yan looked shocked when she saw that. “You wouldn’t dare!”
Lin Qingqing smirked at her. “Why wouldn’t I?”
“There is really nothing you wouldn’t dare to do,” commented Han Muzi who was observing the chaos with a steely stare. After that, she turned around to face Yan. “Are you alright? Did they hurt you at all?”
Yan was stunned earlier, and after the initial shock wore off, she started bawling. “Yes! They kicked my leg just now, and they even accused me of splashing coffee on them. Not to mention they even slapped me!” She covered her red and swollen cheek after saying that. “Muzi, they aren’t here as clients! They are here to cause trouble on purpose.”
“On purpose?” Han Muzi’s eyes darkened. Then, she took out her phone in front of Lin Qingqing with a faint smile. “In that case, let’s call some reporters. We shall let them see what’s happening in reality. I am confident the reporters would be more than willing to show up.” Han Muzi pondered before making a remark, “I’m wondering which reporter I should call. After all, I’ve been rather popular online lately as well. In that case…”
“Han Muzi, what are you trying to do?” Lin Qingqing lost her cool when she heard that and screamed at Han Muzi in frustration.
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi turned to glance at her. “Miss Lin, what is the matter? Didn’t you say that you wanted to post the news online? Since you are posting that, I can’t possibly be left behind. Besides, a staff member from my company has been wronged, so it’s only natural for me to stand on her side. In North City, we, the Han Family, have never been afraid of any forces, and that includes all of you.”
The color drained from Lin Qingqing’s face. She bit her lower lip hard while staring at the calm, beautiful, and delicate-looking woman with a strong presence. She was confident, and that was why she was calm; her calm façade accentuated her steadiness as well.It was also due to her steadiness that made Lin Qingqing look especially sinister in comparison.
The gentle and courteous Young Miss had morphed into a shrew now. Lin Qingqing realized with a start that she made a grave mistake by coming over today. Even if I wouldn’t let this woman off the hook, I shouldn’t have jeopardized my reputation.
“What do you say? Why don’t we call for backup together?” Han Muzi brandished her phone. “Shall we?”
Lin Qingqing’s face was ghastly pale as she stared at Han Muzi. “You are threatening me. Do you truly think that the Lin Family is afraid of the Han Family?”
Since she brought the Han Family’s reputation into the picture, Han Muzi had no problem riding the wave for a tad longer. Hence, she smiled provocatively. “Why don’t we find out?”
“You!” Lin Qingqing was starting to be afraid now. Although my family has some power in North City, we don’t stand a chance at all if we were to go against the Han Family head-on. Besides, Ye Moxuan is on this woman’s side. If those two families were to combine strengths, our Lin Family would be wiped out.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 479
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing felt a little afraid. She knew she was impulsive, but there was no turning back anymore. She had no more opportunity to retreat anymore.
“Go ahead!” Lin Qingqing nodded. “Go on! Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?”
Han Muzi smiled. “I really appreciate your courage, Miss Lin.”
However, as soon as she pressed the button on her phone, the person next to her quickly stopped her. “Forget it. Let’s go.”
“Yeah, Qingqing, we don’t have to waste our energy with a woman like this. She snatched someone else’s boyfriend and even used her authority to suppress others. How shameless!”
“Look at her shameless actions! I bet she must be very good at stealing men away. We are all proper ladies, so let’s not stoop to her level!”
“What are you guys doing?” Lin Qingqing wanted to post this on the entertainment section, but before she could do anything, the few girls whom she had brought had been dissuading her. As such, Lin Qingqing questioned them angrily.
Han Muzi, who was opposite to them, did not speak when she saw this, but Yan lowered her hand and sneered, “It seems that your friends are all cowards. When you guys came to look for trouble, have you found out who started this company? Are you all only afraid now? When you get out of here, I will find out your details one by one.”
When the group heard this, their faces instantly turned pale.
They were called over by Lin Qingqing. The Lin Family was considered a big family among them, and when Lin Qingqing talked about her blind date being stolen by Han Muzi, they immediately became angry. On top of that, the man was Ye Moxuan. As they wanted to suck up to Lin Qingqing, they had agreed to accompany her to seek justice from Han Muzi. However, they didn’t know that she was from the Han Family.
They would rather offend the Lin Family than the Han Family.
“Hey, we didn’t mean it just now. We really didn’t mean to trip you earlier. Please don’t be angry with us. We’ll apologize to you now.”
“What are you doing? Are you actually apologizing to a person like her?” Lin Qingqing was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, and her ladylike facade was all gone.
“Qingqing, forget it. We can’t afford to offend them.”
“Yes, Qingqing. Let’s leave quickly. If you don’t want to… then we’ll go back first.”
“My mother just asked me to have dinner at home tonight.”
“My dad wants to take me to a dinner party, so I’ll leave first.”
Soon, the group of people brought by Lin Qingqing found various excuses to get away from there, leaving Lin Qingqing alone.
Lin Qingqing’s face alternated between looking pale white and bluish green, and then she turned red because of shame and anger. The speed of her changing expression was quite impressive indeed.
Yan originally felt a pain on her face, but seeing Lin Qingqing look like this, she suddenly felt that the person with the most pain should be Lin Qingqing, so she laughed happily. “What a joke! She only knows how to find unreliable people. How dare you come to our company to make trouble! Although you are our customer, Miss Lin, I suggest you terminate the contract. Or else, it’s going to be so embarrassing each time you come here.”
Lin Qingqing screeched, “How dare you!”
“Are you incapable of understanding humans?” Since they had already fallen out, Yan could finally say everything on her mind. “I have already made it so clear, yet you still ask me if I dare to do that? Do you not have any brains, or do you only know how to parrot this line? Haven’t you seen it with your own eyes whether I dare to do this or not? Why do you keep asking?”
Han Muzi almost couldn’t help herself from laughing out loud when she saw this. It seemed like Yan had suffered a lot since just now, so she wanted to vent all the grievances she had just suffered.
When Yan vented her anger, few people could stand her, so Han Muzi simply stepped aside to watch the drama unfold.
Facing Yan’s taunts, Lin Qingqing was unable to even retaliate as this was the first time that she was humiliated by others to this extent. Apart from that, Han Muzi stood aside nonchalantly, as if she had nothing to do with this. Lin Qingqing was so angry that she walked directly to Han Muzi. “This was all your fault. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been so humiliated today, and Ye Moxuan wouldn’t have been taken away by you, Han Muzi!”
She suddenly came over to Han Muzi with something in her hand, and she wanted to splash it on Han Muzi.
Yan’s expression changed drastically. “Muzi, be careful! Duck!”
Seeing some liquid flying toward her, it was too late when Han Muzi wanted to avoid it. The speed was too fast, and she could only turn around subconsciously. But in the next second, a tall figure quickly rushed over to block her.
“Aaah!” A scream pierced through the air from Lin Qingqing himself. “Ye Moxuan!”
Ye Moxuan? Han Muzi raised her head swiftly, only to realize that Ye Moxuan was the one who blocked everything for her. However, at this time, his expression looked like he was in pain, and he seemed to be sweating. W-What was in the bottle that Lin Qingqing had just splashed over me just now?
Seeing Ye Moxuan’s anguished expression, a terrible thought flashed in her mind, and she glared at Lin Qingqing. “What did you just splash?”
Han Muzi’s eyes were horrifying, looking as if she was about to eat her alive. Lin Qingqing was so frightened that she could only stammer, “I-It’s sulfuric acid—”
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi almost fainted. But in the next second, she quickly calmed herself down again and immediately walked around Ye Moxuan to take a look at his back. Then, she found that his suit had been dissolved, revealing flesh and blood underneath.
Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically in an instant, and she ordered without even thinking, “Hurry up and take off your suit.”
Ye Moxuan also seemed to remember something and quickly took off his suit. Then, he was pulled into the restroom by Han Muzi.
After entering, Han Muzi took the shower tap in the bathroom and turned it on immediately so that the water rinsed on Ye Moxuan’s back. Then, she quickly took off his white shirt and threw it on the ground. When she saw the burned flesh, Han Muzi felt a lump in her throat. She felt incredibly upset. She forcibly endured this miserable feeling and kept rinsing cold water on Ye Moxuan.
Cold sweat broke out on Ye Moxuan’s forehead as he suffered a great pain on his back. To him, the pain felt like it had reached the core of his bone. By now, he had probably known what substance Lin Qingqing had used. Fortunately… Fortunately, I am here this time.
Yan was frightened by this shocking change in events that she stood still for a long time. When she returned to the senses, she quickly rushed to the bathroom and knocked on the door. “Muzi, how’s everything? Do you need my help?”
When Han Muzi, who was still showering water on Ye Moxuan, heard Yan’s voice, she ordered, “Hurry up and call an ambulance!”
“On it!” Yan quickly took out her mobile phone and called the ambulance.
Lin Qingqing stood on the spot blankly with a look of incredulity on her face. How could this happen? I initially… wanted to splash it on Han Muzi. But why did Ye Moxuan suddenly rush forward to block it for her?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing took a few steps back fearfully with a pale face. She was doomed. She had just splashed sulfuric acid onto Ye Moxuan. Will he… punish me later?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 480
After Yan finished calling for an ambulance, she turned her head and saw Lin Qingqing still standing there. Then, she suddenly thought of something and quickly called the police to tell them that someone here deliberately used sulfuric acid to hurt people.
After hanging up the phone, Yan glared at Lin Qingqing bitterly. “You vicious woman! Using hurtful words is one thing, but carrying out the action is another. I can’t believe that you actually prepared sulfuric acid beforehand. Your heart and blood must be pitch black!”
Lin Qingqing was trapped in the visual image of her hurting Ye Moxuan, so she didn’t react for a long time.
“I have already called the police. When they arrive, you’d better confess to them!”
“Police…” Lin Qingqing slowly recovered to her senses. “No, you can’t call the police! I can’t go to the police station! No!” She was the Young Lady of the Lin family, and her reputation had been stellar. If she entered the police station, her future would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing got up abruptly and stumbled outside. When Yan saw that she was about to run away, she went up to grab her. “Where are you going? Do you think you can run away just like this?”
“Let go of me!” Lin Qingqing anxiously wanted to break free from her. At this moment, she only had one thought in mind—not to be caught by the police. She could not afford to ruin her reputation. Lin Qingqing, who was only thinking of running away, was so strong that she broke free of Yan’s grip in no time.
When Yan wanted to catch up to her, she suddenly remembered something and turned back. “Muzi, Lin Qingqing ran away. What should I do? Do you want me to ask someone to catch her back?”
Han Muzi, who was in the bathroom, frowned slightly when she heard Yan’s question. Ask someone to catch Lin Qingqing back at this time? The most important thing right now is to deal with Ye Moxuan’s wounds.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi said coldly, “Don’t worry about her for now. Come in and give me a hand.”
“Alright.” Yan stretched out her hand to open the door, but it couldn’t be opened. “Why can’t I open it? Unlock the door first.”
Han Muzi had been focusing on rinsing Ye Moxuan’s back, so she was surprised when she heard that Yan couldn’t open it. After all, she didn’t lock the door when she came in just now. Why was Yan unable to open it?
Thinking of this, Han Muzi raised her head to take a look. When she wanted to walk over to look at the door lock, she realized that Ye Moxuan was reaching out and pressing against the door.
“You—”
“Don’t open it.” Ye Moxuan’s voice was full of suppressed agony.
Han Muzi frowned. “Why not? I need another person to help me.”
Even though he was already in unbearable pain, Ye Moxuan still did not groan out loud, and his dark eyes were still staring at her intently. “Do you think I will allow other women to see me like this besides you?”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Han Muzi almost had the urge to slap him to wake him up. “Look at the situation now! Yet you still care about this? Is your pride more important than your life?”
She was so angry that her eyes were a little red.
Seeing her like this, Ye Moxuan held back the unbearable pain on his back and looked into her eyes intently while he slightly parted his thin lips.
“You are the most important.”
Han Muzi’s heart skipped a beat. “You—”
At this hour, this man still has the mood to say something like this! Han Muzi was so furious that she shot him a fierce glare.
However, when Ye Moxuan saw that, he thought that there was a tinge of coquettishness in her glare, and so his pale lips curled into a weak smile. “You’re lucky I was around. If those chemicals were spilled on you, the consequences would have been disastrous.”
Han Muzi hesitated before barking, “Can you shut your mouth now? You should worry about your own injuries instead!”
What is wrong with this person? Obviously his back is hurt, yet he is still saying such cheesy things to me!
It’s so damn annoying!
Han Muzi stopped replying to him and continued rinsing water onto him. As Yan was still waiting for her outside, Han Muzi called out, “Just wait outside for now. I can manage everything here. When the ambulance arrives, we will get out.”
“Okay, then.” Yan was actually very obedient to Han Muzi’s orders. Hence, she took her orders and quickly went downstairs to wait for the ambulance.
There was only the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, and the breath of the two of them was obscured by the water. Han Muzi had been standing behind Ye Moxuan and rinsing water for him. She couldn’t do anything else before the ambulance came.
Her heart was thumping wildly as she felt anxious about the entire situation. Han Muzi only hoped that the ambulance would arrive soon.
However, even though Ye Moxuan was so badly injured, he didn’t say a word.
She almost couldn’t bear it anymore.
Finally, Han Muzi heard the sirens of the ambulance from a distance. In that moment, she felt like it was a sound from the heavens.
The ambulance is here? Han Muzi raised her head with excitement in her eyes.
“Are you afraid?” Ye Moxuan, who had been silent for a long time, asked suddenly.
Han Muzi looked at the back of his head. “What?”
He turned around and faced her. Suddenly, Han Muzi’s expression changed.”Turn around. I will continue flushing for you.”
Ye Moxuan’s expression looked very weak. His lips were ash-white, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, which showed how much pain the injuries had inflicted on him.
Seeing him like this, Han Muzi would rather look at his wounds.
He didn’t say a word, but he looked at her motionlessly. “Are you afraid I will die?”
Han Muzi’s heart sank as she walked around to his back and continued to rinse cold water onto his body. Then, she replied cruelly, “Stop talking nonsense. It’s impossible for you to die just because of these injuries.”
“It seems that you are not afraid anymore.” Ye Moxuan barked out a low chuckle.
Han Muzi frowned vigilantly. “What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing.”
Soon, the paramedics team took a stretcher and went directly to the bathroom upstairs. When Han Muzi heard that, she quickly opened the door for the team to take Ye Moxuan out for first aid.
After a simple treatment, Ye Moxuan got into the ambulance. Since he was heavily injured, Han Muzi couldn’t bear to leave him alone, so she got into the ambulance as well.
After getting into the ambulance, Ye Moxuan held her hand tightly and didn’t let go.
When Han Muzi wanted to break free from him, Ye Moxuan increased his strength. She didn’t have any chance to pull her hand back.
Han Muzi glanced at this person’s pale profile and muttered in her heart, He is already so seriously injured; how can he still have so much strength? Besides, the wound is so deep, but he still exerts so much strength. What if it worsens his wounds?
Thinking of how he threw himself in front of her to protect her just now, Han Muzi’s heart softened.
Forget it. If he wants to take my hand, so be it.
She had nothing to lose anyway.
Hence, Han Muzi gave up the struggle and handed over her little hand to him docilely.
Ye Moxuan held her hand, that was as soft as cotton, in his. For the first time in so many years, he felt that his heart was full.
Although his injuries were so deep that his bones were visible, Han Muzi was by his side.
Ye Moxuan’s pale thin lips curled up into a slight smile. Surprisingly, he felt quite happy.
“You are already hurt to this extent; what are you happy about?” the nurse couldn’t help asking after seeing his weird smile.
Hearing this, Han Muzi quickly looked at Ye Moxuan, but he immediately retracted his smile and showed an expressionless face.
