Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 481
Ye Moxuan looked at her coldly. The nurse couldn’t help but tremble as she wondered if she was hallucinating just now.
But after a closer look, she realized that Ye Moxuan was holding the hand of the woman beside him tightly, and she immediately realized what was going on.
Of course, his girlfriend is with him although he’s hurt. Of course he is secretly happy.
Then, the nurse pretended that she knew nothing and turned around to deal with other matters.
When he arrived at the hospital, Ye Moxuan was pushed into the emergency room because the wound on his back was too serious. He had to be treated in the emergency room.
Han Muzi couldn’t enter the emergency room, so after Ye Moxuan entered, he had to let go of her hand.
Staring at her with his pitch-black eyes, he enunciated, “Wait for me.”
Han Muzi didn’t get the chance to promise him as he was already pushed into the emergency room.
Bang!
The door of the emergency room was closed.
Han Muzi stood there for a while before slowly turning around and walking out.
At this time, she figured that the company must be in a mess, and she still had to deal with Lin Qingqing’s affairs. Since Ye Moxuan had already arrived at the hospital, the doctors would handle the wounds.
Hence, it was useless for her to stay here.
Hence, Han Muzi quickly returned to the company. The police had arrived, and Yan was explaining the entire situation to them. After Han Muzi arrived, she also told the police what had actually happened.
“Miss Han, we know about the situation now. But we still have to trouble you and the injured to go to the police station to make a report. If the patient’s injuries are too serious, we can also talk to him when he wakes up later. As for the culprit who deliberately hurt you, we will look into the footage and follow up.”
There was no expression on Han Muzi’s face when she spoke, “The video is the evidence, but I think it would be better if you can find someone to put her in custody now. She has sulfuric acid on her hands—I am worried that she will hurt people again.”
With that, she meant that Lin Qingqing was a hazard. The policemen exchanged glances at each other and nodded in understanding.
“Okay, we got it.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
After that, Han Muzi went with the officers to the police station to file a report. When she came out, she saw Han Qing and Yan. Standing right next to Han Qing, Yan uttered sheepishly, “This incident is too serious. After thinking about it, I decided to tell your brother.”
Han Muzi went silent upon hearing that.
Oh, no. I’m going to get another round of scoldings.
Sure enough, Han Qing looked at her coldly. “Was it because of him?”
Han Muzi said, “Qing—”
“Stop interacting with him anymore. You said that you knew how to handle this by yourself, but look at you now—a woman who fancies him has come to you and almost splashed sulfuric acid onto you.”
“I wasn’t the victim. It was him. He is now in the hospital.”
“Well, he certainly deserved that,” Han Qing remarked unceremoniously. “He has to pay the price himself, but what about you? You have nothing to do with this. Muzi, cut off all ties with him.”
Han Muzi thought for a while and blinked. “Qing, he is in the hospital now. He is seriously injured.”
“That’s his business,” Han Qing growled sharply and suddenly grabbed her hand. “Go home with me.”
“Qing!” Han Muzi’s expression changed. “I can’t go back with you now.”
While dragging her out, Han Qing couldn’t help turning his head when he heard this. A fierce glint was shown in his eyes as he asked, “What, now? Do you still want to visit him in the hospital?”
“Yes!”
“You!” Han Qing narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Do you know what you are doing right now? That person—”
“I don’t care what you think, Qing, but he was injured because of me. I can’t just leave him in the hospital like this. I can’t be so cold-hearted.” With that, Han Muzi shook off Han Qing’s hand forcefully. “Qing, I know you care about me, but I am no longer a child. Even if you want to make up for what you owed me when I was a child, you have done enough over the years. You have to focus on your own matters now. As for my matters, I can handle them myself.”
“You were almost splashed with sulfuric acid. Is this what you meant by handling matters yourself?” Although Han Qing was forced to relinquish his grip on her, his tall figure still stood in front of her like a motionless mountain.
Yan became anxious when she sensed the sudden tense atmosphere coming from them.
What should I do?
She just thought it would be better for Han Qing to solve it, but she didn’t expect that this would worsen the relationship between them!
“You guys, please stop arguing and calm down,” Yan advised weakly.
However, both of them did not listen to a word from Yan at all.
“I have my own way of handling this matter. And I wasn’t even splashed. Even if the sulfuric acid had really reached me, it would have been my own way of handling it!” This was the first time Han Muzi was so stubborn with her brother.
Han Qing didn’t speak anymore. His black eyes were fixated on her for a long time, and then he walked away after he spat, “As you wish.”
“President Han!” Yan yelled and tried to follow him, but she was worried about Han Muzi at the same time, so she could only watch both of them.
Han Muzi looked calm. She looked at the conflicted Yan and made the decision for her.
“I’m going to the hospital to see him. You go back with my brother first.”
“But Muzi, can you handle everything alone? I’m a little worried about you…” Yan bit her lower lip hesitantly.
Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. I’m not the one who was injured. Off you go.”
Finally, Yan bit her lower lip. After asking Han Muzi to take care of herself, she chased after Han Qing.
Seeing this, Han Muzi was finally relieved.
In fact, if Yan stayed with her at this time, she would be under more pressure. After all, she had to go to the hospital, and Han Qing was still angry. If Yan went back with him, she would probably speak on her behalf.
After thinking about it, Han Muzi let her emotions settle down and got into the car.
In the hospital.
Several hours had passed since Han Muzi finished handling everything, and the door of the emergency room was opened. Han Muzi went to the front desk to ask about the ward Ye Moxuan was sent to.
After the nurse told her the room number, Han Muzi went to look for him based on the number.
Ye Moxuan was alone in the quiet ward.
When she reached the door, Han Muzi saw him sitting there with a cold expression.
The outline of his facial features were half hidden under the light. And there seemed to be a tinge of moroseness on his face.
Han Muzi pursed her lips and walked in after clearing her throat.
Hearing the commotion, Ye Moxuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly. Then, he raised his eyes to look at her. Finally, his eyes fixed on her thin body.
“Didn’t I tell you not to leave?”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing this.
This man is really petty. He still remembered about that at this time.
She could only step forward and explain, “The company was in a mess, and Lin Qingqing has injured someone. I had to go to the police station to make a report, so—”
“These are more important than me?” Ye Moxuan suddenly asked, sounding like he was frustrated.
Han Muzi froze.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 482
After a long pause, Han Muzi whispered, “You are injured. I am not a doctor, so there was no use for me to stay here.”
“Who said so?” Ye Moxuan raised his head and stared straight into her eyes. Then, his thin lips parted. “Come here.”
Although he still did not look too good, he obviously looked better than before. Han Muzi didn’t walk forward. Instead, she stood still and said in a low voice, “If you want to talk to me, just speak out loud. I can hear you.”
“Is that so?” Ye Moxuan sneered. “But I can’t speak loudly. Come here.”
Han Muzi paused for a while before growling, “You are being outrageous!”
“Fine. I’ll go over.” With that, Ye Moxuan really planned to get up and walk toward her.
Upon seeing his movements, Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically. Without thinking about anything else, she rushed toward him and pushed him back onto the bed. “Don’t mess around. The doctor has just treated the wound for you. You can’t—”
The rest of her sentence was cut off by his embrace. Han Muzi was held in his arms with a dazed expression. Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped at that moment, and the air that she breathed in belonged to this man.
However, they were at the hospital.
Han Muzi’s eyelashes fluttered, and her voice was a little uncertain. “W-What are you doing?”
Ye Moxuan took in a sharp breath greedily between her neck and replied in a muffled voice, “Just making sure that you are safe.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.
“I’m fine. Let me go quickly,” Han Muzi ordered while trying to push him away.
“Ugh…” Ye Moxuan groaned in pain, successfully stopping all of Han Muzi’s movements. She was the one who saw his wounds with her own eyes, and after dealing with that for so long, she knew very well that the wounds must have hurt a lot.
Now that he grunted in pain, it must be real. After all, she couldn’t even bear watching it.
“You’re fine, but I’m not.” Ye Moxuan’s voice sounded aggrieved, and all the warm breath that he exhaled landed on Han Muzi’s neck. He sounded particularly sad. “Must you push me away even if I was just giving you a hug?”
Han Muzi blinked. Why did she have a feeling that this person was taking advantage of her using his injuries?
She took a deep breath to calm herself.
“Then how long do you want me to hug you?”
“Not long. Just for a while.”
Fine!
I will believe him just this once! If he wants a short hug, so be it! After all, he is a patient, and he was injured because of me.
Because of that, she couldn’t possibly push him away forcefully.
Anyway, it was just a short hug. She had nothing to lose, and it was not like Ye Moxuan had never held her before. She would just treat this same as the hugs from before.
But she had underestimated how shameless Ye Moxuan could get. She originally thought he would hold her quietly, but she didn’t expect that he only behaved himself for a while. After a while, the hands around her waist had trailed elsewhere again.
In the beginning, his hand moved slightly without doing much.
But probably because he realized that Han Muzi didn’t resist, Ye Moxuan started to become more courageous. His hand began to move up her back slowly and touched her shoulder gently. When Han Muzi felt that something was wrong, she frowned and raised her head to see what the hell Ye Moxuan was doing.
As soon as she raised her head, a shadow entered her eyes immediately.
Right after that, she felt softness on her lips.
Shortly after that, warmth wrapped around her lips.
Han Muzi’s eyes widened as she felt a pulse of electric shock passing through her heart, making her feel a little numb.
She stared at Ye Moxuan, who was close to her.
Probably because of the pain, he didn’t even open his eyes. Even the shadow cast by his eyelashes felt fragile.
“Uhm.” It took a few seconds for Han Muzi to recover to her senses. Reflexively, she stretched out her hand to push him away, but he did not respond. After she pushed him again, Ye Moxuan grunted in pain again, his lips making a hissing sound.
When Han Muzi saw the cold sweat on his forehead, her heart softened again. She then let go of her hand that had been pushing him.
However, if she stopped pushing him away, she would have to let him kiss her.
Han Muzi had never thought that, after five years, something like this would happen—he would hold her in his arms and kiss her gently.
Ye Moxuan’s kiss was not heavy.
In fact, it was as light as snowflakes falling on the ground in winter, without any desires or impurities.
Time passed, and Han Muzi didn’t know how long the kiss lasted before Ye Moxuan finally let go of her and planted his warm lips on her forehead. Then, he uttered in a low voice, “If you’re willing to let me hold you and kiss you gently like this, it would be worth it even if I died.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing this.
This man!
She gritted her teeth secretly without replying to him.
After a while, Han Muzi raised her head and glared at Ye Moxuan. “Aren’t you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?”
The distance between the two of them was very close. As they had kissed just now, there was still a hint of intimacy in the air.
“Are you willing to prepare food for me?” Ye Moxuan asked her back without answering her question.
Han Muzi was speechless for a while, and then she looked at this man who took advantage of her with a tinge of annoyance. “You got hurt because of me. Can I reject you?”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan’s expression fell. “So you offered to prepare food for me just because I’m injured.”
But soon, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by other emotions as he stared at her intently. “In that case, you can just stay and take care of me during this period.”
Han Muzi, who was standing upright just now, staggered after hearing his words and almost fell forward. Fortunately, she stabilized herself.
She looked at the man in front of her, who had an evil smile hidden between his thin lips. It was obvious that he was going to use his injury as an excuse to make her do anything.
But what could she do? She couldn’t really leave him here.
Han Muzi gritted her teeth and replied, “I can take care of you, but you can’t behave like just now.”
“Like just now? How?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows with a satisfied look on his face.
Such an expression angered Han Muzi, who stopped paying attention to him and announced coldly, “I’ll go back first before revisiting you later. Are you going to be okay on your own?”
“How long?”
“Who knows?”
“Don’t be too long. What if my wound hurts so much that I faint?”
Han Muzi replied, “I’ll be back in an hour.”
Ye Moxuan finally curled his lips into a satisfied smile. “Okay.”
When Han Muzi left, she glanced at Ye Moxuan in worry. Although he looked happy—which somehow annoyed her—she could tell from his pale lips and cold sweat on his forehead that his current state was not good.
So, she figured she should come back to him quickly.
After Han Muzi left the ward, the cheeky smile on Ye Moxuan’s face slowly disappeared after he heard the sound of her footsteps fading away. Instead, it was replaced by an expression of pain.
The pain on his back was so intense that he did not know which posture to lay down on. It was impossible for him to lay on bed, and even more impossible to lay on his stomach.
However, after reminiscing about the sweet taste of her lips just now, Ye Moxuan felt that it was a good thing that he was injured.
After a while, he closed his eyes and mocked himself helplessly.
“Ye Moxuan, come on. Just be a man.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 483
After Han Muzi returned to the Han residence, she went directly to the kitchen and cooked some porridge herself.
Since Ye Moxuan had sustained such serious injuries, she thought that he would have to eat something light.
Apart from that, she also wondered how Ye Moxuan would sleep at night as he had hurt his back. It was impossible for him to lie down. After all, with those injuries, applying more pressure to it would definitely make the wound worse.
Was he going to sleep on his belly?
The thought of his tall figure trying to fit into the small bed in the ward and lying down in a difficult posture formed a very vivid scene in Han Muzi’s mind. Then, she couldn’t help laughing out loud.
After a few laughs, Han Muzi felt sorry for Ye Moxuan, thinking that he was quite miserable now. If it weren’t for him blocking the attacks, his back wouldn’t have been hurt, and the person lying in the ward would have been her instead.
Moreover, if he hadn’t blocked her at the time, her face and body would have been—
After pondering what could have happened, Han Muzi didn’t dare to think about it anymore. She only focused on cooking the porridge and took a thermos to put the porridge in. After thinking about it, she even sautéed a few light dishes.
Her cooking was pretty good. She knew how to cook all this while, but she had been cooking less often during the recent years as Yan’s cooking skills were much better than hers, and Little Bean liked everything that she made. Hence, when they lived together, Yan was basically the masterchef.
Although she was not that familiar with cooking now, she still knew how to do it.
Han Muzi quickly finished up her cooking and then took the thermos flask to head out.
As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she ran into Han Qing, who had a cold expression on his face.
Facing his stern gaze, Han Muzi moved the thermos in her hand to the other side guiltily as she tried to avoid Han Qing from seeing it.
However, it was completely pointless—Han Qing knew very well what she wanted to do.
No matter how much she tried to block or cover, it was of no use.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi just stood still and looked at Han Qing.
“Qing.”
No matter what, she would still have to greet him.
Han Qing pursed his thin lips and asked with a pair of cold eyes, “Do you still regard me as your brother?”
Han Muzi answered, “Why not?”
“Who hurt you so deeply five years ago? Have you forgotten everything?” Han Qing stared sharply at her. “After five years have passed, you have forgotten all this? And you even want to take the initiative to send these to him? Muzi, where is your self respect?”
After a pause, Han Muzi defended herself. “In that case, what do you think I should do? That man blocked everything for me. Now, he is lying in the hospital with a wounded body. If it weren’t for him, the person lying there would have been me. Maybe then, the one who would bring the food over would be you! Having said that, do you still want to stop me?”
Han Qing replied, “Well, do you know that if it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have been the target of a hate crime? If you continue to get close to him, you will still have to face these troubles in the future. He can block it for you once, or twice, or the most, three times. But can he shield you for a lifetime?”
Han Muzi’s expression changed slightly when she heard Han Qing say ‘for a lifetime’.
“I don’t want to think about that now. I don’t have any other thoughts about him. Even if it were not him who blocked the attack, but a stranger, I would still go to the hospital to take care of that person. This is just general kindness without any personal feelings.”
Han Qing stared at her closely. “Are you sure you have no personal feelings toward him? Can you assure me that you won’t be with him again?”
“Yes, I promise.” Han Muzi nodded. “I never thought about being with him again, so don’t worry about that. And what I want to tell you is—whether I would be with him or not is my own business, and I have the ability to handle my business.”
Han Qing came over and clasped her shoulders.
“It’s not that I want to control you. You are now the Young Lady of the Han family. I just don’t want you to repeat the same mistakes as before. Do you understand?”
“I understand; of course I do. But I’m not a kid anymore. Do you understand my feelings? I want to decide my life by myself, not… follow the path that others have decided for me. That is not the kind of life that I want.”
Han Qing looked at her calmly. Suddenly, he stopped saying anything and let go of her shoulders. Then, he turned away.
Han Muzi didn’t know if Han Qing understood her or not, but at this time, she didn’t want to think about it so much, so she quickly left with the thermos.
Han Qing walked to the corner before turning back to look at the figure that went straight ahead without looking back, and his eyes darkened.
Yan, who stood behind him, advised weakly, “P-President Han, don’t be angry. Muzi is a softhearted person. No matter who rescued her, she would take care of that person. She’s going to the hospital not because of who that person is, but more importantly, what that person has done for her.”
After the incident of her kissing Han Qing, Yan had been avoiding him for a long time. When she finally mustered all her courage to call him, she even stammered when she spoke to him. However, after being around him a few more times, Yan found that she was not so nervous now.
It was just a kiss; it was no big deal.
You are a grown man who has never been in a relationship. So what if you kissed a young woman like me?
Hmph, you can’t possibly fall in love with me with just a kiss, right? If that really happened, and you were moved by me…
Thinking of this, Yan became more justified and confident.
After all, her crush was not young anymore. As time waited for no one, she must cherish the time now. Otherwise, in a few years’ time, he would only get older.
As Yan thought about this, Han Qing turned to look at her, which made her shudder. Everything that she had been thinking just had was shoved out of her mind.
She bit her lower lip. “Uhm… I’m telling the truth. I have known Muzi for a long time, so…”
When she bit her lip, Han Qing thought of what happened that day.
The young woman in front of him suddenly came over and kissed him. No one had ever done such an astonishing move to him, so that incident had affected him for a long time. Sometimes, he even dreamed about it at night.
Seeing the way Han Qing looked at her, Yan shuddered and took a step back involuntarily.
“Uhm… If you think what I said is wrong, then… I-I shall leave first.”
With that, she was about to turn around.
However, Han Qing suddenly stopped her. “Hey, you.”
Yan paused before turning her head and pointed her finger at herself. “Me?”
“Yes, you.” Han Qing’s gaze fell steadily on her face. Finally, he moved his gaze to her lips, being unable to stop himself.
His gaze was faltering, and Yan felt it all at once. In that instant, she felt a burning sensation on her cheeks, and she was so shy that she didn’t dare to look at him. “What’s up?”
Han Qing did not speak. Instead, he took a few steps forward without saying another word while a calm and steady aura exuded from him.
Yan’s face suddenly flushed red, and she took a few steps back suddenly.
“W-What are you doing? Don’t come over!”
With that, she turned and ran away.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 484
Han Qing frowned and watched that the petite figure disappear quickly from his sight without giving him any time to react.
Yan quickly ran upstairs and hid in her room with her heart thumping wildly.
What had just happened? Han Qing actually walked toward me unexpectedly, and if I didn’t see wrongly, he was looking at my lips.
Could it be… that he wanted to take revenge on me for kissing him that day?
Thinking of this, Yan hurriedly stretched out her hand to clutch her chest. “Why are you thumping wildly? Are you that useless?”
After thinking about it, she regretted it again. Why did she run when Han Qing took the initiative to approach her just now? She should have taken the opportunity to flirt with him again!
For example, she should have kissed him again.
Good idea!
But she had actually wasted such a great opportunity.
Sobs! Yan cupped her cheeks as she regretted her mistake.
…
In the hospital.
When Han Muzi arrived at the hospital with the thermo flask, it was already more than an hour later from when she left.
When she entered the ward, Ye Moxuan’s black eyes flashed with joy, but it was quickly replaced by darkness. He sat there with a gloomy expression and did not even greet her.
Han Muzi didn’t bother to talk to him either. Instead, she just put the thermos on the table and opened the lid.
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of the food inside wafted out; in no time, the entire ward was filled with the smell of food.
Ye Moxuan had been waiting for a long time. When he received her call, he rushed over without even eating anything, so his stomach had been empty for a long time. When he smelled the aroma of food, his stomach seemed to rumble in protest.
He frowned slightly. This woman…
Thinking of this, his lips moved, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.
Han Muzi put the porridge in a bowl. Taking his injury and inconvenience into account, she purposely brought the food to him.
“Dig in.”
Ye Moxuan didn’t answer her and stared at her displeasedly.
Han Muzi raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you hungry?”
“You told me to wait for you for an hour.”
“Yes.” Han Muzi nodded. “Is there any problem?”
Ye Moxuan didn’t speak and stared at her intently. After a while, he spoke in a resentful tone, “You were late for a total of thirty minutes.”
Han Muzi paused before asking, “So? Because I was late, you won’t eat anymore?” After speaking, Han Muzi shook the bowl in her hand at him.
Ye Moxuan ordered, “Coax me into eating.”
Han Muzi was confused by this.
Ye Moxuan uttered unabashedly, “I am a patient.”
Han Muzi fell silent while resisting the urge to hit him. Then, a sneer curled up on her red lips. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah.” Ye Moxuan nodded and leaned forward to her. His breath had blended with hers. “If you don’t make me eat, I won’t eat. If I don’t eat, the wound will be very difficult to heal. Let’s not forget that I was hurt because of you. The doctor even said that there will be scars in the future.”
Han Muzi glanced at him. Is this person deliberately using his injury to force me to do things?
Obviously, yes.
“And I have to do another surgery to remove the scar tissues later on. Do you bear to leave me hungry?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi sneered and put the bowl in her hand on the table next to her, making a crisp thud.
“It’s up to you whether you want to eat it or not. It’s not me who is going to starve to death anyway.”
With that, she got up and walked to the thermos. Then, she packed her things and covered it. When her movements stopped, she looked at Ye Moxuan from the corner of her eyes to find that that bastard actually lay back on the bed. There were still injuries at his back!
Thinking of this, Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically. She turned around and rushed back to him immediately.
“What are you doing? Don’t you know that you have injuries on your back? Yet you’re still lying down?”
Ye Moxuan lay there with a look of despair.
“No one cares about me anyway. I’d be better off dead.”
What is wrong with his childish tone? Han Muzi was dumbfounded when she saw that. She finally realized one thing—Ye Moxuan’s temperament had really changed—he was now in a shameless mode when he was with her.
At this moment, he was totally oblivious to the fact that he was the president of Ye Group, and he didn’t care about his image at all.
How could… such a person exist?
Although Han Muzi was very angry, she couldn’t do anything after thinking of the horrible injuries in her memories.
Ye Moxuan was really badly injured by sulfuric acid. In the future, his wounds would definitely leave scars. If any other person had suffered the same injuries, they probably would have been miserable. However, he used these wounds as his assets to make Han Muzi stay with him.
Forget it. I’ll just wait for his injuries to recover first.
Finally, Han Muzi closed her eyes and tried to suppress the other emotions within her. Then she opened her eyes and picked up the bowl on the table. “I beg you, Ye Moxuan. Get up and eat something. Your health is the most important. If you died, you would have nothing left.”
She began to nag like an old woman.
Ye Moxuan’s expression changed slightly as he looked at her squarely.
“Are you coaxing me?”
She nodded naturally. “What do you think?”
Ye Moxuan slightly raised the corners of his pale lips. “That doesn’t count. I still don’t want to eat.”
Han Muzi had no temper left within her. “Then what do you want?”
Ye Moxuan raised his hand and pointed at the corner of his lips with an obvious meaning. When Han Muzi looked at it, her pupils shrank.
This shameless bastard.
“No way. I can try to get you to eat, but I won’t do anything else. Ye Moxuan, if you don’t want to eat, then I will dump all this porridge I made myself and call Xiao Su over to take care of you. As for your injuries, I will bear all the medical expenses.” After speaking, Han Muzi took out her mobile phone, looking like she was about to call Xiao Su.
In the next second, Ye Moxuan suddenly sat up from the bed. His movements were so fast that Han Muzi jumped.
Before she could react, Ye Moxuan clasped her hand that was holding the phone.
“You said that you made these yourself?” Ye Moxuan didn’t care about anything else right now; he only cared about this.
When Han Muzi saw him sit up suddenly, she thought that such a sudden action would definitely cause his wounds to tear apart again, so she forgot to make the phone call. Instead, she wanted to go to his back to see his injuries, but Ye Moxuan was still holding her wrist tightly.
“Answer me!”
“Yes, I made it by myself. Do you want to eat it or not?”
“Of course.” Ye Moxuan stared at her and stretched out his hands toward her. “I was wrong just now. I will eat now.”
Han Muzi was speechless when she saw that.
She brought the bowl to him. “Hurry up and eat. The food is turning cold.”
“Okay.” Ye Moxuan nodded obediently and held the bowl. Then, he lowered his head to eat the porridge that she made herself. After taking a sip, he frowned in disgust. “Why is it so bland?”
“Of course. Look at your injuries! Would you like a gourmet dinner, my dear sir?”
Ye Moxuan didn’t reply to her sarcasm.
Seeing her cold expression, Ye Moxuan’s mouth twitched. “No, thank you. This is good enough.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 485
When Ye Moxuan finished eating, Han Muzi packed up her things and washed the thermos before putting it back on the table. After that, she took out her phone to take a look.
It was already past 8PM. She looked out the window and noticed the sky was completely dark.
Before coming, Yan promised Han Muzi that she would pick up Little Bean and asked her not to worry.
Ye Moxuan frowned when Han Muzi saw her looking at her phone. “Are you going back?”
When Han Muzi heard his question, she put her phone away and pursed her lips. “I will be here with you. Don’t worry.”
Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows as he was a little surprised. After all, he didn’t expect that she would take the initiative to stay with him. He even thought that he had to use his ultimate technique again.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking.” Han Muzi interrupted his thoughts at the right time, looking as if she had seen him through. “You only know that trick, don’t you? And you never get tired of using it. You know very well that you got injured because of me, and I have to obey your wishes, so you can do anything you like to me before you are healed.”
With that, Han Muzi sat down on the chair next to him. She probably felt bored, so she took out her phone again to text with someone.
Although Ye Moxuan was exposed by her on the spot, he was not annoyed or ashamed.
So what if she saw through me?
Even though he knew he was despicable, as long as he could keep her by his side, he didn’t care about being a little despicable.
As long as the result was what he wanted.
Thinking of this, the emotion in Ye Moxuan’s eyes became a little deeper.
Although Han Muzi stayed, she didn’t pay attention to him. She didn’t even look at him, nor did she ask if his wound hurt.
She merely looked at the phone, while Ye Moxuan looked at her.
After some time, Ye Moxuan felt unhappy.
Is my sense of presence so low? Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan suddenly snorted.
Han Muzi raised her head subconsciously when she heard a muffled hum, but when she saw Ye Moxuan’s pale face with cold sweat on his forehead, she was so startled that she put her phone away and ran over to him.
“What’s wrong? Has the wound worsened? I’ll call the doctor right away!”
After speaking, Han Muzi wanted to turn around to call a doctor, but she was stopped by Ye Moxuan. “Don’t.”
Han Muzi turned her head around. “You’re hurting, aren’t you? Why shouldn’t I call a doctor? I don’t know the condition of your wound, so let’s just ask the doctor to handle it.”
She didn’t give him a chance to refuse and quickly left the ward to call the doctor over.
His wound was very serious. As soon as the doctor heard that he might have other complications, he hurried over to check on Ye Moxuan and frowned. “What’s the matter? Weren’t all the wounds treated already? Why did it suddenly get worse? What did you guys do?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi’s expression changed immediately as she thought of what Ye Moxuan had done earlier. Sure enough, those actions worsened his wounds, but that bastard’s face is calm. He doesn’t seem to treat his injuries seriously at all.
Seeing that they were not talking, the doctor glanced at them again before saying, “I’ll treat your wounds again. But you will have to lie on your stomach to sleep at night because the wounds must not be touched anymore. Keep in mind not to do any behavior that might stretch or open the wounds again. This wound is too serious, so you should stay still to recuperate for a while. If this happened too many times and the wound worsened, don’t blame me for telling you the ugly truth upfront.”
Since the doctor had already explained so clearly, Han Muzi understood everything that was going on. She nodded. “Noted, doctor. I’ve written everything down, and I’ll make sure he follows your advice.”
After that, the doctor treated Ye Moxuan’s wounds. During the period, Ye Moxuan’s eyes kept falling on Han Muzi’s body without moving away at all. Because of that, the doctor mistakenly thought that they were a young couple and left a sentence before he left the ward. “Take good care of your husband. This injury can get very serious. If it doesn’t heal properly, it will be very troublesome in the future.”
Han Muzi remained silent.
She moved her mouth; just when she was about to deny her relationship with Ye Moxuan, she couldn’t utter a word when the words had reached her lips.
What could she deny? Legally, she and Ye Moxuan were still married.
And now that Ye Moxuan’s mood was unstable, she did not know what he would do if she said it out loud. This person really didn’t take his body seriously.
He could afford not to take it seriously, but she couldn’t.
After the doctor left, Ye Moxuan looked at her with satisfaction. “Why didn’t you deny it?”
When Han Muzi heard his words, she turned to him and rolled her eyes at him. “So what if I denied? Do you think he would believe it?”
Although she looked annoyed, the emotions in Ye Moxuan eyes looked happy when he saw her looking this way. His thin lips curled into a wider arc as he whispered, “You heard it yourself just now—take good care of your husband. If it doesn’t heal properly, it will be very troublesome in the future.”
“Heh,” Han Muzi sneered before turning around to go to the bathroom.
She splashed cold water on her face in the bathroom. When the cold hit her face, her mind was cleared a little. She looked at the quiet night outside the window, and her heart slowly calmed down.
Since everything had come to this point, she had no extra capacity to think about other things.
She would just give in to him during this time. When his injuries had healed, he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of her anymore.
Thinking about this, Han Muzi pulled a paper towel to dry the water on her face and then went out.
“Are you tired? Do you want to rest?”
Ye Moxuan shook his head as he sat on his bed and looked at her.
As he had a back injury, he couldn’t even lean on the seat. He could only sit still by supporting himself, but he seemed to be very tired after doing this for a long time. It was quite a misfortune to sustain injuries on one’s back.
Han Muzi pondered for a while and found a taller chair. Then, she put two pillows on it.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to sleep, but it’s very difficult for you to sit like that. I got this for you. If you are tired, you can lean forward,” she pointed to the two pillows while she explained.
Ye Moxuan looked at the two pillows with a sullen expression.
How could he lie down in front of Han Muzi like this? The posture would be incredibly ugly.
Both him and Han Muzi did not move, and the air seemed to be weirdly quiet. After a while, Han Muzi looked at him and asked, “Aren’t you tired of sitting straight? Don’t you want to lie down?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled. “Do you want me to rest so much?”
Han Muzi nodded. “You can say so. How can you heal without sleeping? If you mind me watching you, I can turn around.”
With that, Han Muzi also saw a small bed next to her. Just when she was about to go there to rest for the night, her wrist was pulled by Ye Moxuan. She turned around and saw Ye Moxuan removing all the pillows on the chair before he instructed, “Sit down.”
Han Muzi asked, “What do you want to do?”
“Just sit down.”
Hence, she sat down with a face full of confusion. As soon as she sat down, Ye Moxuan stuffed a pillow behind her back and put another pillow on her leg. Then, he lay on her face-down.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 486
Han Muzi was speechless upon seeing this.
He didn’t want it when she gave him the pillow. Instead, he wanted to be cushioned by her.
Damn, what a wishful thought! Han Muzi murmured in her mind, but she did not resist. Since there were soft pillows on her legs and her back, it would not be uncomfortable for her to sit like this, so she just let him lie on it.
It was actually quite uncomfortable for Ye Moxuan to lean on her like this, but it was better than sitting upright all the time. Besides, he could take in the fragrance of this woman this way.
He was satisfied.
The ward was quiet for a while. When Han Muzi looked down at the back of the young man in front of him, she could only see his back with his stomach on her lap.
Thinking of the wound she saw in the afternoon, Han Muzi closed her eyes as her heart clenched.
It was better to stop thinking about it and just go to bed.
She was ready to let him sleep on her thighs all night, so she simply leaned back. After tilting her head backward and closing her eyes, she soon drifted asleep.
The event that happened during the day was probably too terrifying; not long after Han Muzi went to sleep, she dreamed about Ye Moxuan rushing over to protect her from the sulfuric acid.
Moreover, in the dream, Ye Moxuan’s injuries were much more severe than reality, so it really scared Han Muzi. She was so nervous that she sweated profusely and opened her eyes suddenly.
Panting a little, Han Muzi found that her back was wet, but the ward was very quiet. Han Muzi looked down and found that Ye Moxuan was deep asleep while lying on the pillow on her lap.
Han Muzi didn’t dare to alarm him. Instead, she just tilted her head slightly and glanced at the watch on her wrist. Then, she found that it was slightly over 3AM. Is it already this hour? It would take a while until morning arrives.
She lowered her head to look down at Ye Moxuan again.
From her angle, she could see his long eyelashes being reflected in the light, casting shadows around his eyes. Because of the injury, Ye Moxuan’s face was a little pale, as well as his lips. When he was sleeping silently, he just looked like an extremely vulnerable patient.
Ye Moxuan was severely injured and was looking very fragile at this moment. However, he still tried to use his injuries to convince her to stay with him.
Ye Moxuan, what on earth are you trying to do?
You’ve gone to such lengths just to keep me around to lean on me while you sleep, and you’re already showing such a contented expression.
If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought that you’d fallen irreversibly in love with me.
But if you really loved me so much, why did you give me the divorce contract five years ago? Apart from that, you didn’t even want to see me.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi closed her eyes tiredly as she seemed to have fallen into that painful memory.
She really never wanted to experience such pain for a second time in her life.
…
When the first rays of sunlight rose in the early morning, Ye Moxuan was already awake, but he didn’t move. Last night, he kept lying on the pillow on Han Muzi’s legs in this position.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that she had fallen asleep leaning against the wall, so he got up and sat still for a while as he watched her peaceful face.
It was strange that Han Muzi didn’t look any worse now without any makeup on compared to five years ago; on the contrary, she looked even more confident than before. There was a distinct style that belonged to her, and he was enchanted by just looking at her.
Later, Ye Moxuan even secretly kissed the corner of her mouth.
It was just that the wound really hurt a lot, so he didn’t push himself.
When it was dawn, he leaned back on the pillow on the woman’s lap and enjoyed it.
It would be nice if she could be as quiet during the day as how she looked when she was asleep. In that case, he wouldn’t feel so troubled.
Unfortunately, this was impossible.
While he was thinking about it, Han Muzi stirred and woke up slowly.
“You’re up?” Ye Moxuan’s deep voice rang.
Han Muzi lowered her head and found that Ye Moxuan was staring at her sideways with a pair of gentle eyes, and she felt that she could almost drown in his eyes at that moment. Han Muzi’s breathing stopped, and she nodded blankly.
But soon, she returned to her senses again and avoided Ye Moxuan’s eyes. “Get up, now,” she whispered.
Ye Moxuan did not abide by her command. Instead, he stayed there for a while before getting up.
“It’s uncomfortable to sleep like this,” he couldn’t help grumbling.
Hearing that, Han Muzi frowned. “Well, you complain about being uncomfortable. Do you think it was comfortable for me?”
When she finished her sentence, she wanted to stand up and go to the bathroom, but she realized that she couldn’t even get up, as her legs were all numb.
Han Muzi’s expression changed, and her pink lips parted. In the end, she seemed to think that this was a little amusing, so she simply sat still.
“What’s the matter?” Ye Moxuan asked with a frown.
“What do you think?” she replied angrily. “You slept on my lap all night, and I can’t move my legs at all now.”
Ye Moxuan only wanted to sleep on her lap last night, and he didn’t think of this problem at all. Now that she couldn’t even stand up and could only sit there, he frowned in distress. “I’m sorry. I should have thought of it.”
Seeing his apologetic expression, Han Muzi felt a little sorry for him again and replied, “It’s not your fault. You were injured because of me. This is what I owe you.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan was rather unhappy, and his frown deepened.
“So you stayed with me all night because you think that you owe me?”
“What else could it be?” Han Muzi quickly replied, but after she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and she raised her head quickly.
Sure enough, Ye Moxuan wore a disappointed expression.
Oh, no! Han Muzi secretly thought. “I didn’t mean to blame you. I mean, you are injured now, so I have an obligation to take care of you,” she hurriedly explained.
She stopped mentioning the incident where he protected her so that he wouldn’t use this to give her trouble later.
Hence, it was better just to keep quiet.
It was better to let him recuperate first.
However, Ye Moxuan didn’t speak anymore; he just stared at her meaningfully with a pair of black eyes.
“I already let you sleep on my thighs all night until my legs are all numb. Don’t tell me that you are still angry with me at this time.”
Ye Moxuan paused for a moment. Seeing Han Muzi’s aggrieved expression, he suddenly realized that he had gone overboard, so he suppressed his emotions. “I’m not.”
Then, he raised his hand and placed it on Han Muzi’s leg to give her a massage.
Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically, and she quickly reached out to hold his hand down. “What are you doing?”
“Can’t you tell?” Ye Moxuan gripped her hand using his other hand and lifted it. Then, he gently pressed his other hand on her leg.
Her legs were numb because the blood couldn’t flow smoothly. If he kneaded her lightly now, it would improve her blood circulation much faster.
He didn’t do anything that was out of the line; he was massaging her very seriously. Han Muzi felt embarrassed and wanted to avoid him, but the serious expression on Ye Moxuan’s face made her feel that she was thinking too much into it.
Suddenly, Han Muzi exclaimed as she thought of something, “Your injury… Didn’t the doctor say that you shouldn’t do anything that would stretch or open your wounds again?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 487
Ye Moxuan suddenly paused his movements and raised his head. His gaze fell on her face, and his thin lips slightly curled into a slight smile.
“Don’t worry about it. I slept on your lap all night, so it’s no big deal for me to massage you.”
Han Muzi was stunned for a few seconds before she moved his hand away. “I don’t care if it is a big or small deal to you. It is a matter of your wound.”
With that, she stood up. “My legs are fine now! I can stand up, so you should sit properly now.”
When she was walking to the bathroom, she still stumbled for a bit. After all, her legs had just recovered, so she couldn’t walk smoothly. However, Han Muzi still entered the bathroom under Ye Moxuan’s sight.
When she came out of the bathroom again, she found that there was an extra person in the ward—Xiao Su.
Seeing him, Han Muzi was stunned for a moment. Then, she took a paper towel to dry her hands before walking over to him.
“You’re here so early, huh?” she asked quite naturally. Even Xiao Su couldn’t react in time and just nodded lightly.
“Go home to rest today and come back tonight,” Ye Moxuan instructed while looking at Han Muzi.
Hearing that, Han Muzi stopped walking and looked at him. “Come back tonight?”
Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and slightly raised his brows. “Do you not want to?”
She didn’t reply to him.
Of course, she was not unwilling to do so. It was just that she thought she should take care of him for the entire day. She didn’t expect him to ask Xiao Su to come over and change shifts with her.
Seems like he still has a conscience after all.
“Then I’ll come back tonight and bring you some food. I’ll go back to rest now.”
She slept all night in a chair, so she was suffering from back pain right now. Apart from that, she also had to go back to the company to deal with some matters.
“Alright, I will wait for you to come tonight.”
Han Muzi was about to leave when she suddenly felt that Ye Moxuan’s words sounded a little flirty. She then glanced at Xiao Su and found that he was also looking at her.
She blushed a little and quickly left the hospital.
Of course, when she left, she did not forget to take the thermos flask she brought last night.
After Han Muzi had left, Xiao Su’s expression became cold.
“Young Master Ye, you were too impulsive this time. Look at how severely you were hurt—how are you going to explain to Aunty Song?”
“I’m not going to explain anything to her,” Ye Moxuan answered with a nonchalant expression. After Han Muzi left, he subconsciously wanted to lie back, but as soon as his back touched the bed, he immediately sat up with pain. His nonchalant expression just now was replaced by a pained one.
He was totally different from last night, where he could still pretend to be miserable with Han Muzi.
“If you don’t tell Aunty Song, what will you do if she asks?” Xiao Su looked a little distressed. “Young Master Ye, this is not an ordinary injury, and Aunty Song is a doctor. She must be able to tell at just a glance. If she found out that you were injured while trying to save Miss Han, she would be—”
“What ‘Miss Han’?” Ye Moxuan suddenly interrupted Xiao Su and frowned in a displeased manner. “Call her Young Lady.”
Xiao Su paused for a moment before calling out, “Young Master Ye.”
“What?” Ye Moxuan’s thin lips curled up into a cold smile. “After I was injured, everything I said has no weight already, is it?”
Xiao Su immediately lowered his eyes and spoke morosely, “That’s not true, but… your injuries are so severe. I think you’d better—”
“Are you in any position to teach me how to do things?” Ye Moxuan interrupted him coldly before he could finish his sentence.
“Young Master Ye, it’s been five years. You—”
“Get out,” Ye Moxuan suddenly growled angrily, his temper flaring up.
Xiao Su remained silent.
After all, he could do nothing but to shut up and leave the ward.
He didn’t want Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi to repeat the same mistakes. He knew what happened five years ago better than anyone else, and he also knew how important Han Muzi was to Ye Moxuan.
However, after seeing Ye Moxuan sustain such serious injuries, Xiao Su still felt very sorry for him.
Indeed, he thought that Han Muzi was a good person.
But he had been with Ye Moxuan for so many years; he could almost be regarded as his brother.
If Ye Moxuan was injured to this extent this time, would he lose his life if anything more serious happened in the future?
That might very well happen. Sigh.
Xiao Su couldn’t stop himself from sighing. Then, he took out his phone and resisted the urge to call Song An.
…
At the company.
Although Han Muzi had back pain, she didn’t go home directly. Instead, she went to the company to check on them.
The employees of the company had all heard about what happened yesterday. Although they were not there personally, Leng Yueyue asked about the situation from Yan and went back to inform everyone. After finding out, everyone was worried about their boss.
When Han Muzi arrived at the company, the group of people surrounded her.
“Miss Muzi, I heard that someone came to our company to cause a scene yesterday. Are you okay? Why didn’t you call us at that time? There are so many of us—we definitely wouldn’t have let them do anything that would hurt you, Miss Muzi.”
“Yes, those people crossed a line! They had the guts to bully you just because you have fewer people with you.”
Han Muzi looked at the designers around her in surprise.
Before this, most of them were dissatisfied with her, but now, they actually surrounded her while checking up on her.
A surge of warmth suddenly flowed through her heart as she smiled slightly. “I’m fine. And the matter is almost resolved.”
“Do you need our help for anything? I heard that the troublemaker is our customer. What happened?”
“Come on!” Leng Yueyue stood up with her hands crossed in front of her chest, looking dissatisfied. “I told you about the incident not for you to gossip around! Didn’t you see Muzi’s pale face? Go back to your seats and leave her alone for a while.”
“Yueyue, we were just expressing our concern for Miss Muzi. What did you mean by that? Do you want to have Miss Muzi all to yourself?”
“Damn!” Leng Yueyue looked at Zhang Yu with an incredulous expression. “You are unbelievable! She is a woman, and I am also a woman. Why would I want to have her to myself?”
Looking at the commotion, Han Muzi only felt a headache after spending the night in the hospital.
“Stop arguing. I want to rest for a while.”
After Han Muzi finished speaking, she turned and walked in the direction of the elevator.
The others looked at each other for a while before going their own ways.
Leng Yueyue stood still for a moment, but after thinking about it, she quickly followed Han Muzi. Since witnessing her and Ye Moxuan at the press conference, Leng Yueyue felt that she was much closer to Han Muzi.
On top of that, such an excellent person like Han Muzi was someone Leng Yueyue admired.
Leng Yueyue would not let go of this opportunity to get closer to the woman she admired.
“Muzi, wait for me.” Leng Yueyue quickly caught up with Han Muzi and walked into the elevator with her.
Han Muzi stood aside to make room for her. Then, Leng Yueyue smiled with satisfaction. “By the way, Muzi, you didn’t get hurt yesterday, did you?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 488
“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “It was not me who was injured.”
Hearing that, Leng Yueyue widened her eyes doubtfully. “I heard from Yan that you were not injured, but I also heard that Lin Qingqing splashed sulfuric acid. That woman is really terrifying. We must never take clients like her in the future.”
“Client?” Han Muzi whispered the two words before showing a faint smile. “Of course not. Even if she wants to be our client in the future, she probably won’t stand a chance.”
Lin Qingqing had hurt people using sulfuric acid this time. Even though she was not injured, Ye Moxuan was.
According to Ye Moxuan’s temperament, he would definitely not let her go. Besides, even if he didn’t take any revenge, Han Muzi would not let her go. The thought of Ye Moxuan’s injuries on the back had infuriated her inexplicably.
“What do you mean by this? Have you figured out a way?”
“She has hurt people deliberately, so she deserves to go to jail. Without me doing anything, I’m sure someone will settle the score with her.” After Han Muzi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little pain in her eyebrows, and she reached out her hand to pinch her eyebrows hard.
Upon seeing this, Leng Yueyue said softly, “Did you not sleep well last night? I have some medicated oil here. You might feel better after dabbing a little on your forehead.” With that, Leng Yueyue opened her bag, took out a bottle of medicated oil, and handed it to Han Muzi.
After glancing at the bottle of medicated oil, Han Muzi’s eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously. She did not like its smell. Hence, she didn’t reach out to pick it up. Instead, she just smiled at Leng Yueyue. “Thank you, but I’m fine. I’ll be fine after a while.”
Leng Yueyue stared at her for a while before asking quickly, “You don’t like the smell of this, do you? Don’t worry. I didn’t like it at first too, but this is really good. Let me apply it for you.” After speaking, she opened the lid of the oil directly and then wiped a bit on her hand before walking forward to dab on both sides of Han Muzi’s forehead.
Han Muzi was quite annoyed at such behavior since she was not so close with Leng Yueyue, and yet the latter was so brazen with her actions.
However, although Han Muzi was annoyed, she still didn’t show it on her face. She knew that Leng Yueyue meant well, so if she showed her impatience at this moment, it would be very hurtful.
When Leng Yueyue retreated, she smiled at her. “Try it. You’ll probably be fine after a while.”
Han Muzi also smiled at her. “Thank you.”
Leng Yueyue looked away shyly. However, she suddenly thought of something and uttered indignantly, “T-This doesn’t show that I care about you. I-I’m just worried that your mind is not clear, and you can’t work properly.”
At exactly this time, the elevator door opened, and Leng Yueyue rushed out.
Han Muzi fell silent.
When she returned to the office, Yan happened to be working at her desk. When she saw that Han Muzi had come back, she immediately stood up. “My God, I thought you were going to stay in the hospital for the entire day. So you do know when to come back.”
Hearing her teasing, Han Muzi couldn’t help glaring at her. “What? Don’t you feel sorry for me for staying in the hospital for the entire day? And you’re even making fun of me?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t dare.” Yan grinned from ear to ear. “You were only staying in the hospital; you’re not the one who feels the pain yourself. So why should I feel sorry for you?”
“Oh, don’t you think that I’ll be at least tired?” With that, Han Muzi stretched out her hand and squeezed her neck and shoulders. After sleeping on a chair last night, she felt sore all over her body. Until now, her spine still felt uncomfortable.
“Alright, I was just joking with you. If I didn’t feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t have been in your office to handle the work for you. You can go back today. Just leave everything to me and take a good rest. I know you will definitely go to the hospital in the evening.”
Han Muzi didn’t know what to reply. She had a shrewd feeling that she was being tricked. Thinking of this, she put her hand in the pocket and narrowed her eyes at Yan.
Yan smiled. “What now? Am I wrong? He took the bullet for you like this. So when are you going to say yes to—”
“Yan!” Before she could finish her sentence, Han Muzi interrupted her solemnly.
Yan stuck out her tongue and uttered nothing else. After a long time, she spoke, “Alright, alright. I will take care of the things here, and I will also take care of Little Bean. You should go back and rest first. I have already made your bed last night. When you reach home, you can straightaway shower and sleep.” With that, Yan walked over and gave her a key. “This is the key to the lock that was recently installed; I haven’t given it to you. You’ll keep this pair. Later, I will send you the passcode via WeChat. Delete it after you read it.”
Han Muzi nodded. “Okay, have the police been here today?”
“No. It’s still too early. But, they called President Han last night. I don’t know exactly what they said, but… I believe Lin Qingqing’s path does not look too well.”
Han Muzi remained quiet upon hearing that. “Alright, then. I’ll go back to shower and rest. If something comes up, just call me.”
“Don’t worry.”
After Han Muzi finished giving them some orders, she left the company. She originally wanted to go back to the Han Residence, but now that she had her own house, she would go back there instead. Besides, she figured that Han Qing might still be sulking.
The new house was very quiet. As there were no maids, she was the only one in the empty house.
Han Muzi went upstairs to her room and opened her wardrobe. After taking out a set of pajamas, she took a bath.
After taking a hot bath, she felt that the soreness in her whole body had disappeared a lot. Later, when she was drying her hair with a towel, she realized that her phone was vibrating. She glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Lin Xinghuo. Why is this girl calling me?
Thinking of this, Han Muzi answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Oh, Muzi, you’ve finally answered the phone!” Lin Xinghuo sounded anxious.
Han Muzi frowned slightly, but she did not stop towel-drying her hair. “What’s up?”
Lin Xinghuo spoke anxiously, “I heard what Lin Qingqing did. Are you fine?”
“Yeah, I’m all good.” Han Muzi gave her a direct answer.
Hearing that, Lin Xinghuo was finally relieved. After a while, she became nervous again.
“I called my cousin, but she didn’t answer at all. I told you the other day that she was up to no good and asked you to beware of her.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Lin Xinghuo continued, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect that you and her would have such a grudge. It was all my fault that this happened. If I hadn’t introduced her to you as a client, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi quickly recapped about everything that had happened before and replied gently, “It’s not your fault at all. Even without you, as long as she has a blind date with Ye Moxuan, she would have still found trouble with me.”
After all, a leopard never changes its spots.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 489
If she truly did that, it would mean that she really was the kind of person people said she was.
“No. I can’t get in touch with her now. I’m afraid that she will try to harm you again, so I advise you not to be alone for the next few days,” Lin Xinghuo cautioned her. Han Muzi couldn’t help but turn her heard and look around the empty room.
Will she actually do that? But I just moved here; I doubt Lin Qingqing would be able to find out about it that fast. However… Lin Xinghuo is right. There’s a possibility that she’ll harm me again.
“I’m at fault for this. Initially, I wanted to take a day’s leave and come over to accompany you, but that b*stard, Chen Fei, forbade me to. I’m sorry, Muzi. You really need to be careful. I fear that she might harm you in many ways.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”
Lin Xinghuo then kept on reminding her that she should always have someone beside her and not move around alone.
After the call ended, Han Muzi put aside her phone. Then, she continued brushing her hair. Since it’s daytime now, there isn’t anything to be afraid of. Even so, Lin Xinghuo’s words had sent shivers to her heart.
Since Lin Qingqing is capable of pouring acid at me, who knows what atrocities she will do to me next after failing the last time? As she thought about it, she felt cold sweat breaking out on her back. The saying, ‘a hidden enemy is the hardest to avoid’, fitted Lin Qingqing perfectly. Even though she looks innocent at one moment, who could have known that she would pour acid on my face the minute later? She could even be aiming for my eyes. If we don’t catch her soon, the safety of me and my loved ones would be in danger!
While thinking about it, Han Muzi’s heart sank. After drying her hair, she went to bed, but her heart couldn’t stop stirring. At the end, she dazedly fell asleep. In her dreams, Lin Qingqing suddenly showed up in her house and went into her room.
Then, a creepy smile appeared on Lin Qingqing’s face as she looked at her on the bed. All of a sudden, she raised the knife in her hand and stabbed Han Muzi’s sleeping body.
“Ahh!” Han Muzi screamed loudly as she rolled over the bed and fell to the ground.
Thud! The impact had woken her up, but her heart was still racing. She lifted her head to take a look around the empty room and realized there was no one around.
Lin Qingqing and the knife she was holding are not here. Was it a dream? But why did it feel so real? She reached out to wipe off the cold sweat on her forehead and slowly crawled back to her bed. She grabbed her phone to check on the time and realized it was already 6am.
Have I slept for that long? Having no more desire to go back to sleep, Han Muzi got up and went down to prepare Ye Moxuan’s meal, which she would be bringing to him later.
After she changed her clothes, sounds of footsteps suddenly came from outside of the room.
Instantly, her movement halted like frozen ice, and she remembered the scene in her previous dream while the blood inside of her froze as well.
She instinctively put away her phone in her pocket and reached into her bag for a bottle of pepper spray after looking at her surroundings.
At first, she hadn’t been this scared, but after listening to Lin Xinghuo’s warning, she had that nightmare, which scared the life out of her till now. What if…
The footsteps grew louder. Han Muzi didn’t even dare to breathe as she quietly hid behind the door. She could hear her heartbeat accelerating; this was the first time she felt that danger was slowly coming toward her.
Click! The door opened, and a familiar voice floated in. “Little Bean, I’ve told you already that your mommy is still resting. Why can’t you look for her later?”
After hearing the voice, the huge tension within Han Muzi immediately faded away. Fortunately, it was Yan and Little Bean, who just got back. She thought…
“Eh? Where is she? Shouldn’t she still be sleeping? Or has she left early?” Yan’s baffled voice was heard.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi sat there with her trembling legs before coming back to her senses a while later. Then, she straightened up to wave at them and smiled in a weak manner. “I’m here.”
“Mommy!” Little Bean rushed toward as soon as he saw her.
However, Yan noticed Han Muzi’s pale face and the sweat on her forehead. “What happened to you?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi’s face darkened. She then stood up without hugging Little Bean in her arms. All she could think of now was that dream. This place is too dangerous for Little Bean and Yan to be here. What if Lin Qingqing found out about this place?
Han Muzi quickly dragged Little Bean aside after giving it a thought, then she went over to Yan. “Come with me.”
Yan was shocked since she had no idea what happened. But seeing the terrified look on Han Muzi’s face, she followed her out right away. “What’s going on?”
“I think it’s better that you two don’t live here for the next few days. Please bring Little Bean back to the Han residence today.”
Hearing her words, Yan was bewildered while she looked at her. “Why are you suddenly asking me to bring Little Bean back home? And why is your face so pale? Has something happened?”
Han Muzi didn’t tell her the details because she was afraid of scaring her, so she murmured, “I’m still not sure about the current situation, but I’m worried that this place is not safe. If anything happened, you and Little Bean may not be able to handle it if you were alone here, so it’s better for both of you to go back to the Han residence first. You can still move back here after the situation blows away.”
After listening to her explanation, Yan finally understood her concerns. “So that is what you were thinking about. Alright, then. I’ll bring Little Bean back to the Han residence today.”
“We need to act fast. You two must leave now before it gets dark.”
Yan was dumbfounded. “Why such a hurry? What about you then?”
“I still have few things to do, then I’ll go to the hospital.”
“Is it alright for you to be alone?”
“I should be fine for now. Just bring Little Bean away first, and tell him that I have something to take care of in the company, so—”
“Mommy, you’re lying to me!” Before Han Muzi finished her words, a childish voice came bursting from behind the door.
Han Muzi turned over to find out that the little rascal had already opened the door, and he was standing there, looking at her while breathing heavily. “Little Bean.”
Realizing that Little Bean had heard what she said, she felt a bit awkward. “I’m sorry, Little Bean. I didn’t mean to lie to you.” After that, she squatted and waved her hand at him. “Come here.”
Even though he was angry at her, he still walked toward her slowly with his tiny legs. “Bad Mommy!” He reached out his hand and pretended to punch Han Muzi’s shoulder.
“You’re right. I’m a bad mommy because I can’t protect you at the moment. So, please follow your Aunt Yan back to the Han residence. I need to rush to the hospital to take care of someone.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 490
“Mommy, you’re going to the hospital to take care of someone? Why?” Little Bean tilted his head aside, making a dorky face.
After her lie was exposed, Han Muzi naturally wouldn’t dare to lie in front of him, and now was not an exception. “Because that man saved me. If it weren’t for him, I would have been the one lying in the hospital. We need to be grateful for others, so I need to go to the hospital to take care of him because he saved me. Can you understand?” she explained to him patiently while he looked at her with his shiny glass-like eyes, devoid of any debris.
As soon as she was done, Little Bean nodded. “Okay. Then I’ll go with you.”
Han Muzi’s expression changed following his words, and she immediately declined. “No.”
Little Bean was confused. “Mommy, why can’t I? If that man rescued you, and I’m your baby, then I should be following you to the hospital too!”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. She couldn’t find the words to counter Little Bean, so she simply found a reason to stop him. “No, you can’t. The hospital isn’t some place anyone can go to. There are patients with a lot of bacteria over there. You’re just a kid, and your immune system is too weak; you will be easily infected if you go there.”
“Really?” Little Bean asked.
“Yes. You can ask Aunt Yan if you don’t believe me.”
“It’s true,” Yan followed up with a nod. “The hospital is no fun place to go to. You can go if you’re sick, but it’d be better not to go if you’re not. Besides, you’re still a small kid, so your mother is going to have to keep looking after you. How will she have the time to take care of the person who saved her then? Little Bean, if you really want to thank that man, you can wait till he is better and treat him to a meal with your mommy—” Yan suddenly stopped her words as she realized she had said something inappropriate. She awkwardly looked toward Han Muzi and quickly changed the subject. “It’s getting late now. Little Bean, we need to go back home before dark.”
“Okay. Then mommy… I’ll go back with Aunt Yan now,” Little Bean announced.
“Alright.” Han Muzi brushed his head and hugged his little body while feeling reluctant to leave him. “Have a good night’s sleep. I’ll bring you to the amusement park two days later after I’m free.”
“You must keep your words, mommy. You promised me the last time at my birthday that you’d bring me there, but it has yet to come true.”
Han Muzi was silenced by him.
“Alright. Let’s go.” Yan quickly grabbed hold of Little Bean in her arms and went outside because she didn’t want him to cling on to Han Muzi much longer.
She knew Han Muzi very well. She knew that she was in an awkward position, so she handled it perfectly.
After they were gone, Han Muzi swiftly entered the kitchen and started cooking. All the ingredients were prepared, so she just fired up the stove. When she was done cooking, it had turned dark outside.
When she was about to leave with the thermos, her phone rang.
It was from Ye Moxuan.
She frowned after getting the call. What is he doing calling me at this time?
Then, she picked up. “Hello?”
“Are you coming or what?”
Han Muzi took a look at the thermos in her hand and replied angrily, “Cooking for you is very time-consuming, alright?”
“I see.” His voice turned from anger to joy in mere seconds after hearing that she was preparing food for him. His voice was filled with delight as he uttered softly, “It may not be safe for you now that it’s dark. I will send Xiao Su over to pick you up. Where are you now?”
Xiao Su is willing to fetch me? The notion of going to the car park faded from her head. After all, there weren’t many people at the car park, and it was dark, so there might be dangerous people lurking there. But I can’t tell Ye Moxuan my address, or else he will come and find me after. What am I going to do if he really comes by and sees Little Bean?
For a moment, Han Muzi was hesitant to tell him her address.
“Where did your mind wander off to?” The man’s clear voice from the phone brought her senses back.
She thought about it for a while and decided to wait at a supermarket nearby.
After the thought came to her mind, she told him the supermarket’s name.
“You’re at the supermarket?” Ye Moxuan was curious, so he asked again.
Han Muzi let out a soft cough as she tried to lie. “I happened to be heading to the supermarket to buy something. It’s more convenient for him to go there from the hospital.”
“Pfft.” Ye Moxuan let out a chuckle. “Woman… since when did you have such good time management?”
“Don’t come if you have so much to rumble about. I can drive there myself!” Han Muzi snapped at him.
“Heh. Look how easily you’re annoyed. Why don’t you stay there and just leave me alone at the hospital?”
Han Muzi was left speechless. She couldn’t talk back to him because he was now a patient, so he must be prioritized.
As she went silent, Ye Moxuan, who was on the other side of the phone, softened up. “He’ll be there soon. Keep in touch.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up on the call, Han Muzi grabbed the keys and went out.
Due to the dream, Han Muzi felt a shiver in her heart as she went out. It was quiet outside, and she didn’t meet anyone while taking the elevator. To reach the entrance gate, she must walk along a small pathway. Even though there were street lamps around, it was still a bit dark.
Han Muzi held her breath while her beautiful eyes surveyed the surroundings as she walked. She was afraid somebody would suddenly pop up out of the dark.
Rustle. The bushes rattled and sent goosebumps all over Han Muzi’s body. She suddenly stood still, as if she was paralyzed.
Then, she looked carefully at the rattling bush.
Later on, a stray cat pounced out of it while holding a kitten in its mouth. It became cautious after seeing Han Muzi and went back to the bush to hide.
After seeing this, Han Muzi felt a huge sense of relief. Thank god it’s only a cat. But… the cat looks like it’s trying to move the kitten away from the nest.
She couldn’t help but go over to have a look. The closer she went, the clearer she could hear the kitten’s call. As soon as the cat, which was holding the kitten, saw her, it immediately let out a cautious hiss, warning her to back off.
“Don’t be afraid. I mean no harm.” Han Muzi stopped her steps and suddenly had an idea. She opened the thermos and took something out of the top container.
It was a plate of steamed fish, which she planned on giving Ye Moxuan to eat, but now… the cat would be having it.
“Have this…” Han Muzi placed the plate of steamed fish in front of the cat.
The cat sniffed the fish, and its eyes lit up as it looked toward her. It was still afraid of going up to her.
Han Muzi examined the surrounding and realized that it was a secluded spot, so probably no one would come here to disturb the cat. Then, she pushed the container closer to the bush so it would be hidden, and she later stood up and left.
