Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 641
At two o’clock in the morning, the plane finally arrived at its destination.
Han Muzi might’ve been sitting for too long, so she felt a little dizzy when she got off the plane. Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan was feeling refreshed from having slept during the journey.
Compared to him, Han Muzi was in a much worse state.
When Ye Moxuan slept on her shoulder during the flight, he did not seem to take her shoulder as a person’s shoulder at all and rested on it until it became numb! Even so, she could not say a word about it.
Moments before they were about to land, Ye Moxuan woke up to see her bitter expression and instantly pulled her into his arms so that she could sleep for a while.
At this point, Han Muzi thought to herself, You’ve already leaned on my shoulders till they went numb, so how am I supposed to sleep now?!
Although Han Muzi was complaining internally, she was so tired that she still went into a deep slumber rather quickly.
Before she could even begin to dream, however, the plane started its descent.
Han Muzi woke up when the plane experienced some turbulence, but she felt that her palm was warm; it was only then that she realized Ye Moxuan was holding her tightly.
Raising her head, she accidentally met Ye Moxuan’s eye.
When the plane landed, Ye Moxuan carried Han Muzi in his arms as they did not bring along much luggage. His coat was over Han Muzi’s shoulders, and she was so dizzy that she could not walk properly.
He had already arranged for a personal ride, and Han Muzi groggily closed her eyes when she got into the car.
“Let’s head to the hotel and settle down first. Have you prepared the toiletries and clothes?”
Leaning in Ye Moxuan’s embrace, she could feel the vibrations from his chest as he spoke.
“They’re all ready, President Ye. You can check-in at any time.”
“Okay.”
Lowering his head to look at the woman in his arms, he found it rare to see her looking pleasant, and as such, he could not help but reach out and adjust her hair. He then lowered his head and kissed her on her fair forehead while whispering, “Just rest; we’ll be reaching the hotel soon.”
“Okay.” She nodded while closing her eyes.
Knowing that Ye Moxuan was there made Han Muzi feel at ease because she did not have to worry about having no one to wake her up when they arrived at the hotel. In fact, even if no one woke her up, she might even wake up later to find herself already in the hotel room.
With this thought in mind, she drifted off to sleep.
True to her thought, she was already in the hotel room by the time she woke up.
In the hotel room, only a small table lamp was turned on, casting a soft yellow light that was gentle to the eye and not at all dazzling even if one had just opened their eyes from a deep slumber.
Just then, she heard sounds of water splashing coming from the toilet. After thinking for a moment while lying there, Han Muzi thought it might be Ye Moxuan taking a bath.
While thinking about this, she subconsciously reached out to touch under the pillow and found her mobile phone there.
Pursing her lips, she wondered if Ye Moxuan actually knew about her habit. Did he leave her mobile phone under her pillow?
Her phone was already connected to the hotel’s wifi, so Han Muzi opened her WeChat app to see that Yan had sent her a message.
‘Have you gone out with Ye Moxuan? When will you be back?’
After reading those words, Han Muzi was rendered speechless and sighed helplessly before video-calling Yan.
It did not take long before Yan answered the call. Her cute little face could be seen shaking on Han Muzi’s screen as she sat on the bed, wanting to ask a couple of questions.
Without warning, Yan suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my! Muzi, are you in a hotel room? Damn, you couldn’t pick Little Bean up just because you went for a hotel stay with President Ye? My goodness, there are so many rooms at home. Even if it’s not at home, President Ye still has…”
“Stop right there!”
The more Yan talked, the more ridiculous her words became, so Han Muzi interrupted her just in time.
“If you say one more word, I’ll deduct your salary!”
When it came to matters regarding salary, it could successfully shut Yan up. Looking at Han Muzi through the screen, Yan let out a cough and asked, “About that… Did I say something wrong? You’re indeed in a hotel room.”
“It’s true that I’m in a hotel room, but I’m abroad now.”
“Abroad? W-Why are you abroad all of a sudden?”
“I can’t explain it to you in just a few words, but have you picked Little Bean up?”
“Aren’t you just annoying, Muzi! Besides Little Bean being your precious baby, he’s also my darling. How could I not have brought him home? Even if you hadn’t said anything about it, I would’ve still picked him up.”
Han Muzi remained quiet.
“Little Bean has showered and is now soundly asleep, you stepmom!”
“Okay, then I can be rest assured,” said Han Muzi.
“Let’s talk about you now. Why did you suddenly go abroad? I didn’t go to work for just one day and you’ve already run off? Did something happen that I don’t know about? Can I be a busybody and know more about it?”
Her busybody attitude gave Han Muzi a headache. “No, didn’t I already tell you that it can’t be explained in just a few words?”
“In that case, you just have to try your best to make it short and clear,” Yan complained while pouting. “Since you’re at a hotel now, does this mean you’re sleeping with President Ye tonight? Oh my, it’s so exciting just by thinking about it.”
When talking about this, Yan cast a charming look at Han Muzi through the phone camera with an ambiguous expression on her face.
Click.
At this moment, the bathroom door opened.
When Han Muzi subconsciously raised her head upon hearing the sound, she happened to see Ye Moxuan walking out of the bathroom topless. There were still water droplets on his hair and face after his shower, and his skin was slightly red from the steam; the droplets from his hair fell on his face and slid down his neck.
Looking at the scene before her, Han Muzi could not help but gulp.
“Muzi, Muzi? Tell me quickly—are you sharing a room with President Ye? Are you two planning to have…”
Beep, beep, beep.
The call was cut off while Yan was still in the midst of frantically expressing her inner thoughts.
“What happened?” Scrunching her nose, Yan wondered if the call disconnected because of the poor line. Otherwise, why had the call disconnected so suddenly?
Should she call Han Muzi back?
As such, Yan took her mobile phone and made the initiative to video call Han Muzi once more.
The call got disconnected again when it just went through, and there was no reply at all when she tried again once more.
Suddenly, Yan realized something.
If Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan were in a hotel room together and the video call was suddenly interrupted, it was probably because…
“Hehe.” Yan’s smile turned a little cunning.
Well then, she would not disturb them.
On the other side of the line, Han Muzi did not expect Yan to call back again after the video call was disconnected, so she immediately rejected the next video-call. She locked and silenced her phone before keeping it aside. Ye Moxuan then appeared in front of her the moment she raised her head.
Han Muzi choked.
“Are you done showering?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her with his deep eyes and simply replied a ‘yes’ with his hoarse voice. Then, he slowly leaned his body forward.
With Ye Moxuan getting so close to her that they were almost touching, her heartbeat started getting faster when she suddenly lay backward and said, “It’s my turn to shower.”
Then, she turned away, wanting to leave the bed.
However, her actions were still a little too late as Ye Moxuan pinned her down with his body.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 642
“Ah!” Han Muzi exclaimed. She did not manage to escape and both her hands were caught by him. With the vapor and heat which lingered on him after his shower, he pressed himself on her with his bare chest.
Her heart was in her throat. Nervously, she looked at the man before her eyes.
“W-What are you going to do…” asked Han Muzi, licking her lips out of nervousness.
She was not aware that the action of licking her lips, if done in front of men, would be a signal of her initiating sex—especially when they were so close to each other in an intimate posture.
Almost instantly, Ye Moxuan lowered his head and kissed her. The hot kisses were even hotter than his body, and she was drowned in kisses immediately.
“Uh…” Han Muzi glared at him; her hands were trying to push him away.
This b*stard… I haven’t showered after working for the whole day; I must be reeking of sweat. However, Ye Moxuan is different—he has just showered. Making love to him now will put me in an unfavorable situation because I… stink.
With these thoughts in mind, she tried hard to avoid his kisses and said, “W-Wait for a moment—I haven’t showered.”
The thin lips of Ye Moxuan slid down to the side of her neck. “Shower? Forget about it. I don’t mind.”
“But I do mind! Let go of me!”
The man on top of her fell silent before he suddenly got on his feet and carried her up.
“That’s great. Let me carry you to the bathroom to shower.” Without waiting for her answer, he immediately carried her into the bathroom.
Bang!
The heat from his recent shower still remained in the bathroom. After Ye Moxuan brought her into the bathroom, he quickly shut the door as if fearing that she would escape.
He was tall; naturally, he could reach up to high places. With one hand carrying her in his arms, his other hand turned on the shower head.
The water rushed out from the shower head and splashed onto Han Muzi’s head, which also made her head clear.
She started struggling. “Let go of me. I can shower by myself. Get out!”
Ye Moxuan put her down but did not leave. Instead, he pushed her to the wall, pressing her back against the cold wall.
There is hot water spraying in front, but a cold wall behind. Having to feel both icy cold and fiery hot at the same time is surely…
Slowing down her breath, Han Muzi looked up to meet his eyes—Ye Moxuan’s eyes were as dark as night and as deep as the ocean. No one could see through his eyes.
Han Muzi was flustered, yet she was hoping for the best. Her hollow eyes darted everywhere with a sense of emptiness and nowhere to go… not until all her clothes dropped to the floor.
“Look at me.” He pinched her chin and signaled her to focus on him.
“At this moment, you just need to look at me.”
“Huh?”
She was a bit panicked, but his words seemed to have magic, which made her nod unconsciously.
Han Muzi could even see her own reflection in his dark eyes—her face was flushed red; her hair was messy; and her eyes were watery yet charming. She looked enchanting…
The shower took a long time.
After they stepped out of the bathroom, Ye Moxuan helped her to dry her hair as he gazed at the hickeys on her neck. Unable to resist the temptation, he lowered his head down and kissed her again.
As the kisses continued on, they made love to each other on the couch. They then slowly made their way from the couch to the bed, going at it all night until they were exhausted.
The couple went to sleep in each other’s arms. Han Muzi was worn out, breathing heavily while asleep. On the other hand, Ye Moxuan was also tired, but he was not sleepy.
Having Han Muzi—who was tiredly asleep—in his arms, he lovingly planted a kiss on her forehead, feeling satisfied and content. From her forehead, the kiss moved to her eyes, then to her nose, and…
His eyes became deeper. I can’t continue on, otherwise… I may lose control and have another round. I still can go on, but she won’t be able to get off the bed tomorrow.
Due to the love and affection he had towards her, his kiss did not continue on. Instead, the kiss was placed back on her forehead. In a low voice, he murmured, “Goodnight.”
Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep together with her.
That night, Han Muzi had an immensely deep sleep. She was then awakened by Ye Moxuan the next morning. As soon as she opened her eyes and regained her senses, she felt that her limbs were so exhausted that they gave way, and she had no strength that even lifting an arm was difficult for her.
“Are you awake? Here, drink some warm water.” As his handsome face came close, he helped her to sit up while placing two pillows behind her back, personally bringing the glass of water to her lips.
She was so thirsty that she didn’t reject him, taking a few sips of warm water from the glass he was holding to hydrate her throat. After a while, she felt better.
“I’m sure you are tired. Let’s rest for a day in the hotel.”
“The reason I’m here in another country together with you is not to stay and rest in the hotel!” Han Muzi said, rolling her eyes at him.
“Of course not; I still remember what we came to do, but… aren’t you tired?”
“I’m tired because of you!”
Ye Moxuan chuckled as he scooted over in hopes to please her. “Yes, I couldn’t control myself and my passion for you—that’s why I did this to you.”
Pushing his face away to stop him from coming close, Han Muzi said, “I’m hungry. You have prepared my breakfast, haven’t you?”
“Of course I have. Let me carry you to the bathroom to brush your teeth.”
“There’s no need for that—I can go by myself.”
Having said that, she pushed him away to get off the bed. However, just as her feet touched the ground, her legs gave way and she nearly fell down.
In the end, it was Ye Moxuan who helped her up and then carried her in his arms to bring her to the bathroom.
Brushing my teeth while being carried in his arms will definitely become the most embarrassing moment in my life, she thought to herself.
Therefore, she refused to allow him to carry her; she only allowed him to help her stand up so that she would not fall over. Eventually, she managed to brush her teeth while standing on her own feet.
After brushing her teeth, Ye Moxuan carried her to the dining table. Finally, she was able to have a bite of the delicious breakfast spread. Starving, Han Muzi even glared at him while eating.
He looked at her smilingly and said in a low voice, “It looks like you still have the strength to glare at me. Are you hinting that I didn’t ‘work hard’ enough last night?”
“…”
Hearing that, Han Muzi was at loss for words. If I look at him one more time, I think I should just take his surname.
Quietly, she ate her breakfast. After having a hard time filling her stomach with her weak body, she asked while wiping her mouth, “When are you taking me out to meet that woman?”
The smile on his face froze upon hearing her words. He then raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the rush? Also… aren’t you tired?”
Having heard his words, she laughed coldly. “I am not too tired that I can’t even see anybody or talk to anybody.”
The reason he brought her along with him was to meet the woman named Duanmu Xue. To be honest, the moment they boarded the plane together, she had already believed him.
In other words, she was not really suspicious of him. However, if he could not handle his relationship problems and could not give her a sense of security, she would not waste her time spending her life together with him.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 643
Therefore, if he had not mentioned it, Han Muzi would have mentioned it too.
After giving it some thought, Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and slowly said, “I will arrange everything tomorrow; you get some rest first today.”
Tomorrow? Han Muzi nodded. “Alright. Let’s go back after we meet her tomorrow.”
It was crazy of her to suddenly leave the country and go abroad. Besides, Yan seemed to be in a bad mood even though she didn’t show any signs of it when they were on the phone last night. However, during their video call, Han Muzi noticed that her eyes were red and swollen, which showed that she might have been crying for quite some time.
As for why she had cried, anyone could easily guess the reason behind it. Therefore, it would be better for her to hurry back as soon as possible.
“Why are you so anxious to get back?” Ye Moxuan frowned. “We hardly have the chance to travel, but you want to go back just like that?”
“What else then? Would you prefer if we explore the area first?”
“Wouldn’t it be better that way?” Staring at her, his eyes became deeper without anyone knowing what was going on in his mind. After a while, the corner of his lips turned up along with his eyes. “You know what? That’d be great too. Let’s go back earlier.”
Why do I feel like he has turned into a big black wolf? All of a sudden, she remembered the things he told her before they left the country. “I want to become your legitimate man. I want to be the father of your child too.”
Sh*t! Han Muzi could not believe that she actually forgot all about these; the action of urging him to go back made her seem like she couldn’t wait for him to become her legitimate husband.
Han Muzi bit the inside of her cheeks in secret. She was the one who forgot about it, so there was nothing she could do now. However… Ye Moxuan is going to meet Little Bean soon, she anxiously thought. When he realizes that Little Bean looks exactly like him, what expression would he have on his face? Surprise? Shock? Even perhaps… joy?
Countless emotions stirred within her. However, all of these were just her imagination, and all she could do now was just to return to their country.
After staying in the hotel for the whole day, Ye Moxuan left the hotel at night. Meanwhile, Han Muzi remained in her room to talk to Yan about work via video conference using Ye Moxuan’s notebook.
Without Ye Moxuan around, she could speak freely with Yan. After they talked about work, Yan suddenly said that Little Bean wanted to see her too, and asked Han Muzi if it was convenient for her.
She gave it some thought. Ye Moxuan had left for quite some time, so he shouldn’t be back so soon. Therefore, she nodded. “Yes, please ask him to come over. However, you need to let him know beforehand that we can’t talk for too long.”
“No problem.” Yan quickly called for Little Bean. Sitting in front of the table, Han Muzi quietly looked at the screen, and a cute little face suddenly popped up in front of it. “Mommy!”
Looking at Little Bean, the corner of her red lips turned up unconsciously; her eyes and voice softened as well. “Little Bean…”
“Mommy…” The next instant, Little Bean snorted with an expression that seemed like he was trying hard to put up an unsatisfied face. “Mommy, you’re so bad! You promised not to send me away even if you are busy with work.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi was stunned for a moment before she replied to him with a laugh, “I didn’t break my promise; in fact, I didn’t send you away.”
Little Bean pouted, his bottom lips protruding out prominently. “But you went away and left me behind.”
“What do you think I should’ve done instead?” She smiled weakly, reaching out her hand to tap his forehead on the screen. Although they were separated by a cold screen, she could not hold back the urge to touch him. “Should I have taken you with me? Don’t you need to go to school? Silly child!”
“Hmph, not only did you not take me with you, you even called me silly. I’ve decided to split up with you for a day, Mommy!”
“A day? Starting from when?”
“Now!”
“Fine then, if we are splitting up now, you should leave and give your place to Aunt Yan.”
“Why?” Little Bean glared at her with a disgruntled look on his face.
Holding back her laughter, she lectured in a seemingly serious manner, “You wanted to split up with me for a day starting from now. Since this is a split up, you are not supposed to talk to me, so you cannot talk to me via video call.”
Her words made Little Bean speechless. After a moment of staring at each other through the screen, his lips suddenly flattened as he let out a cry. “Mommy, you’re mean! How can you treat me this way? You neglected me, and now you are going to ignore me.” As he cried, the little boy’s eyes turned red.
Han Muzi was holding back her laughter, but when she saw Little Bean’s red eyes, her laughter died away. Flustered, she said, “Little Bean, why are you crying? I was just kidding. Don’t be angry at me. Why would I ignore or neglect you?”
“But just now… you said… you asked me to give my place to Aunt Yan…” he said between sobs. His expression seemed like he was horribly wronged, and it made her feel awfully guilty.
“Sorry, I was just kidding; I didn’t mean to upset you. Can you forgive me? You are my only baby, and I definitely won’t ignore you.”
Her words successfully consoled him. Blinking his eyes that looked like black pearls, Little Bean gazed at her for a moment and suddenly sniffled while looking at her seriously. “Is it true?”
“Of course it is.” For fear that she would make this little boss cry again, she quickly nodded and even stuck out three fingers at him to show that she swore on it. “Do you still not believe me? I swear, it’s true.”
Little Bean snorted and folded his arms across his chest. “Since you have apologized, I will forgive you. However, don’t tease me again after this.”
Having heard that, Han Muzi smiled and looked at her child in delight. “Of course, I won’t tease you again after this.”
“Mommy, when are you coming back? Before this, you said… you’d take me out to meet Daddy…” His words stopped here. The little boy cradled his face with eagerness in his eyes.
“Uh…” Han Muzi thought for a while and then said with warm eyes, “Probably once I get back. Little Bean… you might get to see your daddy after this.”
“Really?” The little boy at the other side of the screen rubbed his hands in anticipation. “Then, can I make some requests to him?”
“Make some requests?” Han Muzi was in doubt. “What sort of requests?”
“Hmph, this is a secret which I will only let my future Daddy know. I won’t tell you.” Little Bean snorted.
Han Muzi was speechless.
As they were chatting, the door to the hotel room opened along with a creaking sound.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 644
Upon hearing the sound, Han Muzi looked up at once and turned her head to look at the door.
The man entering was wearing a dark suit. It might’ve been because he had just returned from outside, but he looked rather tired and dusty. Where has he been to? As Ye Moxuan entered her sight, this was the first thought that crossed her mind.
However, when the corner of her eyes fell on the little face on the screen of the notebook, Little Bean’s face was not much different from Ye Moxuan’s face; her expression changed immediately. Trying to look calm, she used the mouse and hung up the video call.
The call was stopped without warning. On the other side of the screen, Little Bean blinked as Han Muzi’s face vanished from the screen all of a sudden.
Looking at the empty screen without her face, he sat in his seat and blinked innocently. Suddenly, he turned his head around and looked at Yan, who was sitting on a couch eating an apple with relish and asked, “Aunt Yan, why did the video call end all of a sudden?”
Yan swallowed the mouthful of apple and exclaimed before getting up on her feet and walking over to him. From behind Little Bean, she used the notebook and saw the message sent by Han Muzi.
After some thought, she told him. “Little Bean, the internet connection at your Mommy’s place is not stable, so the video call got cut off abruptly.”
“The internet connection is not stable?” Little Bean looked at Yan with his pure and innocent eyes.
Such pure eyes! Feeling rather guilty for lying to him, she did not dare to look into his eyes; Yan moved her sight away and coughed. “Try to understand the situation, Little Bean. Your Mommy is staying at a hotel in another country—maybe the internet signal suddenly became weak. Let’s video call your Mommy some other day. It’s getting late, so you should go shower and do your homework.”
Reluctantly, Little Bean flattened his lips and snorted.
“Why did the internet signal become weak when we were on video call? When we were abroad, we also stayed in a lot of hotels. Why didn’t I find the internet signal weak back then?”
“You…” Yan put up a stern face upon hearing his words. “Listen to yourself! I told you that the internet signal is weak, but here you are questioning me—your Aunt Yan!”
With a loud snort, Little Bean looked up to meet Yan’s eyes. “Aunt Yan is being fierce to me. I will tell Mommy about this when she gets back.”
“Huh, have you learnt how to tell on me? You should go ahead and do that then. Let’s see if I’m afraid of her, or if your Mommy will scold me for this.”
Having said that, Yan hugged herself with her arms while pretending to be afraid and said, “I’m scared! Very scared!”
Yan was so dramatic that she seemed to be possessed by the spirit of an actor.
Little Bean had no choice but to use his ultimate move. “Fine. Mommy is not here now, so there’s no use in telling her. I will call Uncle Qing now to tell him that Aunt Yan was being fierce to me.”
Immediately, he jumped down from his chair and started running out.
Meanwhile, Yan was still in her acting mood, but when she heard him mention Uncle Qing, her face instantly turned sour and her whole body froze.
After three seconds, she finally snapped out of it; Yan turned around and shouted, “Who are you telling? Little Bean, come back right now!”
On the other side, Han Muzi hung up the video call and opened up her work documents naturally, pretending as if nothing had happened.
As her slender and white fingers danced on the keyboard, she said in a casual manner, “You’re back.”
Ye Moxuan was about to walk toward her, but after hearing her words, he just stood still and looked at her in silence.
The girl was sitting on a large bed in the room with his notebook on her lap; her pretty, white fingers were hovering on the keyboard.
Since she did not leave the room, she still had her sleepwear on. Her light blue clothes set off her fair skin, making it look crystal clear and glowing. Her soft hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail; her face was clear without makeup, and her usually red lips were now a shade of faint pink.
This scene gave Ye Moxuan a particularly warm feeling.
He was just like a husband who had gone out, while she was his little wife who was obediently waiting for him at home.
As the door was pushed open, a light could be seen, and a girl was just sitting there waiting for him to come back.
Looking at her, his heart nearly melted.
It seemed like he was too quiet, so Han Muzi raised her head from the notebook screen and looked up at him.
“What happened?”
Ye Moxuan snapped out of it and started walking toward her. As he sat down by the bed, Han Muzi immediately felt the edge of the bed sink as he sat down.
“What are you doing?” Ye Moxuan asked casually.
His question had induced a sudden guilt in her, so she stuttered, “I’m working. It’s not like y-you can’t see what I’m doing.”
“I meant earlier on.” Then, he reminded her. “I heard you talking before I came in.”
Han Muzi was dumbstruck. She did not reply, as if waiting for him to continue on.
Surely, Ye Moxuan did not let her down. “Was it him?”
She was so shocked that she could not breath. “W-What?”
The next second, he leaned down and took her into his arms. With his warm breath, he whispered in her ear and said, “Our son.”
Upon hearing that, she could not resist herself and stared at him with her pretty eyes. I’d never thought that he would actually hear it.
However, she quickly realized the pronoun Ye Moxuan used to call him. She bit her lower lips and said, “He is my son. When… did he become your son?”
His large hand slowly slid down to hold her waist; while the warm breath at her ear became hotter, he whispered in a soft yet captivating voice, “Why is he not my son? I’m your man, so your son is also my son.”
Words between lovers were always sweet to the ears, and most women loved sweet words; if one was indifferent to a man’s sweet words, they most probably had no feelings for that man.
The man before Han Muzi was the man in her heart. When he said those lovely and sweet words to her, it made her feel addicted to it as if they were poisonous drugs to her.
Ye Moxuan’s words stirred up her emotions; her expression changed and she could not hold back her intention to feel him out.
“Do you really not mind that he is not your actual son?”
This was probably the first time Han Muzi had asked him this question in such a serious manner.
As this question traveled to Ye Moxuan’s ears, it was asked by Han Muzi with a slight trace of carefulness in her voice. Embracing the girl in his arms, he asked, “You refused to accept me because of this?”
She thought for a moment and replied, “That’s part of the reason.”
Part of the reason?
“In that case, you can stop worrying now; your man is working hard to eliminate all your worries.”
Han Muzi was speechless. Biting her lower lips, she suddenly reached out and hugged Ye Moxuan tightly around his neck.
Her sudden action of throwing herself into his embrace shocked him, and he responded with a loving smile on his face.
“Ye Moxuan!”
“Yeah?”
“I won’t let you down.”
Let me down? He raised his eyebrows in doubt; just as he was going to ask her about it, she said, “Of course, you’d better not let me down too. Otherwise… I will hate you forever!”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 645
Han Muzi deliberately stressed on the word ‘hate’ when she said it, as if to let Ye Moxuan know how determined she was.
The corners of Ye Moxuan’s lips lifted up slightly. Seeing how Han Muzi was acting spoiled, he swept her into his arms and held her tightly, his tone filled with love. “You won’t get the chance. I will only make you fall deeper for me.”
Filled with embarrassment, Han Muzi was left speechless for a moment.
Her face blushing red, Han Muzi shot back, “Who’s in love with you? Just because I agreed to let bygones be bygones, doesn’t mean that I like you.”
“Hmm?” Ye Moxuan raised an eyebrow, as if noticing something. “If it wasn’t because you like me, then what was it?”
Han Muzi gave a small harumph. “It was because you were so damn thick-skinned, always bothering me. What else?”
“Is that so?”
Han Muzi’s eyes widened and she frowned at him. “Are you trying to deny it?”
“When did I deny it? No matter what your reason is, you agreed to get back with me. In short… it’s enough for me if you are by my side.”
His eyes, as deep as an abyss, locked onto her. Thrown off by his gaze, Han Muzi didn’t know how to react as she felt his hot breath coming closer to her.
Only when his face grew closer and closer did Han Muzi recover herself from her surprise. It seemed that he wanted to kiss her again.
“No!” Just when his lips were about to kiss her, she quickly tilted her face away, and Ye Moxuan’s lips landed on her cheek.
Unbothered by it, his thin lips lightly kissed her cheek, then one of his hands pressed against the back of her head, and he moved toward her red lips.
“No more!” Han Muzi placed a hand on his chest, begging. “I’m already very tired.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan paused. A moment later, he gave a chuckle. “You’re still tired even after a day’s rest?”
“This isn’t something you can recover from just a day’s rest.”
“But I want to do it again. So what now?”
Ye Moxuan’s hand slid lower down from her waist. Feeling his hand groping her, Han Muzi’s face slightly darkened and she gave a low warning, “Stop messing around. Could it be that you had no intention to bring me to meet this woman? Is that why you’re doing this? To stall?”
Upon hearing her words, Ye Moxuan was silent for a moment before his expression immediately turned solemn. “You don’t believe me?”
“Then prove it to me. I followed you overseas yesterday, until now…”
Ye Moxuan gave her an exasperated look, and in the end, he let out a heavy sigh. “Forget it. Just get some rest early tonight.” He then got up and went to the bathroom.
This should do it, right? Han Muzi breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the bed. Remembering something, she quickly took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Yan.
Unexpectedly, Yan had already sent her a WeChat message. ‘Everything on Han Yishu’s side has been dealt with. A woman’s honeymoon night is invaluable, so you should cherish it.’
Han Muzi was somewhat speechless. Damn Yan. She’s always trying to tease me.
She put away her notebook, thinking about what she had said to Ye Moxuan. Unknowingly, a smile had appeared on her lips. She had promised that she would never let him down, so she would definitely see to her promise. It was likely that Han Yishu… was his son.
With the two sharing such a striking resemblance, it couldn’t be anything else. She didn’t dare believe it in the past. Whenever she had doubts, she would think that it was too ridiculous to be true. But even if it was ridiculous, so what?
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Han Muzi thought about it, closing her eyes. She would need to find an opportunity to get Ye Moxuan to talk later.
At night, after the hotel’s lights are out, Ye Moxuan lay by Han Muzi’s side. Their breathing was even, but they both knew that neither of them were asleep.
Han Muzi blinked her eyes in the darkness, suddenly turning around to get comfortable to sleep. But just as she turned around, the idiot leaned closer to her, holding on to her waist. She struggled for a bit, then heard him whisper, “Enough, it’s time for bed.”
“Then sleep. Why are you hugging me?”
The weather wasn’t hot, but with the two of them hugging together, it felt like a furnace. Add to the fact that Ye Moxuan’s body temperature was higher than hers, it was a bit uncomfortable to hold one another.
Han Muzi struggled some more, then felt as if Ye Moxuan’s body temperature rose even higher. She was about to ask him what was wrong when she suddenly thought about something and blushed hotly. “You have so little self control?”
Behind her, Ye Moxuan’s breathing became heavier, and his voice was hoarse.
“I’m a hot-blooded male. You want me to control myself when I have the woman I love in my arms?” He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “It’s already a miracle I haven’t gobbled you all up.” Finishing his words, he deliberately gave her ear a nibble, causing Han Muzi to let out a yelp in surprise. Then, he held onto her using both his arms and legs. “Alright, time for bed. Anymore out of you and I’ll eat you up.”
Han Muzi was left wordless. Although feeling a bit put out, she still obediently closed her eyes.
In the darkness, not only were they physically close, but their hearts were also connected. Holding the person in his arm, Ye Moxuan’s felt uncomfortably warm, as if he was being burned by a fire. He knew that if he wanted to have relief, he just needed to let her go.
But he wasn’t willing to loosen his grip on the woman in his arms. He just wanted to keep on holding her. So, to him, this uncomfortable burning sensation was endearing yet painful. It was endearing that he could hold her to sleep, but it was painful that he could only hold her and not do anything more.
Sigh… The man gave a heavy sigh. He buried his face in the groove of her neck, greedily breathing in her scent.
“Ye Moxuan.” In the darkness, Han Muzi suddenly called out to him.
“Hmm?” a muffled voice answered from the groove of her neck.
Han Muzi looked at the faint moonlight shining through the window, thinking about the question in her heart. Biting her lower lip, she slowly opened her mouth, “I have a question I want to ask you. Will you answer me?”
The man behind her breathed deeply, as if restraining himself. It took a long time before she heard his hoarse voice. “What is it?”
“You told me that I am the only woman in your life. But that day, you said that there was another one before me.”
She could feel him stiffen behind her before she finished her words, as if he was getting nervous. He even held his breath.
Han Muzi was taken aback. Is he getting nervous? Although it was amusing, she could only hold back her laughter, her eyes full of mirth. “What are you getting nervous about?”
The person behind her was silent for a long time. “What would you like to know?”
“I want to know… That person before me, was it 5 years ago?”
Ye Moxuan gave a snicker. “You silly girl. If not 5 years ago, then do you mean 5 years in the future?”
Oh, right. She had forgotten about this.
She gave an awkward pout, then asked, “When was it 5 years ago? Do you still remember? What day was it? What time was it? And how about the location? Do you remember what she looked like? And…”
She asked several questions in a row, but the person behind her was as silent as a grave.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 646
There was a long silence, but Ye Moxuan’s answer was never heard.
Han Muzi thought about it, could it be that she asked too many questions at once? Was that why he was unwilling to answer?
Thinking this was the case, she said, “If you think I have too many questions and you don’t know which one to answer, then do it in steps; I’ll ask a question and you answer it. How about it?”
Ye Moxuan pursed his lips, his eyes similar to that of a man facing a firing squad.
“You really want to know that much? The details about that other woman?”
He gave another rueful chuckle. “I wonder, will I be able to stay on this bed after I answer your questions?”
“Why wouldn’t you?” Han Muzi replied very naturally, her indifference made Ye Moxuan’s spirit a little dazed.
Something feels… off.
Yet he couldn’t put his finger on it.
“Did you hear me? I will ask the questions one by one and you’ll answer them. You’re not allowed to lie, trick me, or remain silent.”
Ye Moxuan couldn’t come up with a reply.
Can I choose to die?
“Ye Moxuan?”
She called his name again. Ye Moxuan’s lips twitched, and a word squeezed itself from his throat with difficulty.
“Fine.”
Getting his permission, Han Muzi was a bit excited, feeling that she was just a few steps away from the truth.
“Ok, then here’s my first question: Where did you go at that time? Why did something like that happen?”
“I went to a private cocktail party for a trade war.” In truth, Ye Moxuan knew very well who it was who drugged him back then to test if he was really crippled. And there was only one person in this world who would care that much if he was crippled.
The answer was quite succinct, Han Muzi thought to herself, and then asked, “Then… how did it happen? Where were you at the time?”
Ye Moxuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly and told it to her straight.
“It happened too suddenly. That woman suddenly rushed up to me. I was drugged at the time, so I was pretty out of it.”
Han Muzi nodded her head. “Then do you remember when that day was?”
The date was of the utmost importance.
The man behind suddenly stopped answering, and hugged her tightly.
“Stop asking, okay?”
“Why?” asked Han Muzi.
If she didn’t ask, how would she verify? Although she had a pretty good guess of things, she still wanted to hear it from his lips to confirm her guess.
It was like a person suddenly saying something they shouldn’t have said, and warning others not to spread it. Being very worried because of a slip of the tongue, they would repeatedly remind others in order to feel at ease.
Although she didn’t say anything wrong, her mentality at the moment was almost the same.
“Why? Aren’t you uncomfortable, asking about these?”
“Not really.” Han Muzi shook her head. She wanted answers to her questions, and couldn’t wait for him to answer.
Not really…
Although he was fine with anything as long as they reconciled, no matter the reason or even if she hated him, seeing her show zero care to herself made his heart ache uncomfortably.
The burning heat from his libido vanished without a trace at this moment. Ye Moxuan gave a self-deprecating smile. “You may be fine with it, but I’m not.”
Perplexed, Han Muzi spoke nary a word as she listened on.
“Even if you really are not bothered by it, you don’t have to be so obvious about it, do you?” The more Ye Moxuan said, the tighter his grip. “Can’t you just pretend, even if it’s just for a little while? Just pretend that you are with me because you like me, you…”
Before he finished speaking, Han Muzi suddenly turned around and faced him directly.
Their warm breaths coiled together, and Ye Moxuan looked at the woman who had suddenly turned around. Under the faint moonlight, he could see the outline of her face, and her moist lips were shining from the moonlight, giving off a tempting light.
His eyes grew hooded as he slowly pressed over.
“What are you doing?” Han Muzi covered his mouth with a hand, stopping him in his tracks, saying, “What were you thinking? The reason I’m asking you these questions is because I want to verify a few things. Not because I don’t care about you.”
The lips covered by her hand moved, as if trying to say something.
Han Muzi didn’t take away her hand and slowly said, “I wouldn’t be asking these questions if I really didn’t care about you, let alone let you take me overseas. After all, I could have reported you to the police, but I didn’t.”
It seemed a certain person’s breathing became heavier.
Han Muzi could clearly feel it, her thin eyebrows furrowing.
What is up with him?
What is he busy doing there while I’m here explaining things?
“You have something you want to say?” Han Muzi asked, uncertain, then withdrew her hand.
As soon as she withdrew her hand, Ye Moxuan eagerly came and kissed her.
“Um—”
The moment her lips were sealed shut, Han Muzi let out a squeak. She tried to push him away, but both of her hands were grabbed by him, who continued his assault on her lips.
Yet he only kissed her and made no other moves. As the kiss deepened, and just when she thought she was about to blackout, Ye Moxuan finally let up.
He pressed his forehead against her, his breath slightly heavy.
“This is what you said. I’ll never forget it for the rest of my life. No take backs allowed.”
“What I just said?” Han Muzi asked.
Ye Moxuan gave a soft laugh, his laughter like the sound of a cello, deep and hypnotic, yet seductive.
“Say that you care about me.”
“I care…” Han Muzi’s words paused. It did seem that that was what I had said…
But she did that because she noticed he was acting strange, so she hurriedly gave him an explanation. In the darkness of the night, Han Muzi’s face turned as red as a tomato.
“Well, go on. Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“You pulled a fast one on me. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Han Muzi gave him a glare. “Not answering my questions properly and playing tricks like these. I’m ignoring you now.”
Saying finished, she directly turned her back on him. “If you’re not going to properly answer my questions, then don’t speak to me.”
Currently, she really resembled an aggrieved wife.
Usually, Ye Moxuan would feel that a woman who acted like this was a shrew, but seeing it on Han Muzi, he only felt love.
“I’ll tell you the date, but this is the last question I will answer. When I have answered it, you are not allowed to ask me about any other details.”
If I had the date, then it would be enough to confirm it, right?
Han Muzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head in the end.
“Fine. Talk.”
Ye Moxuan leaned over to her ear and whispered a sentence. Han Muzi clearly heard the date, and she searched her mind for a moment. Then, she was struck by a sudden realization.
If she remembered correctly, the date that he told her was the same date as the night she got divorced!
Although she had thought it was pretty likely, having Ye Moxuan personally tell her about it now was still a little bit shocking for her.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 647
It’s him. It really is him!
With only this thought left in her mind, Han Muzi suddenly realized that her eyes were a little warm, and tears were actually coming up.
She had always thought that she was pregnant with a stranger’s child, and had even considered abortion.
She decided against it, and slowly grew to love the tiny life in her tummy.
Later, Xueyou said that she would help her check, and Ye Linhan’s name came up.
The moment when she heard that the child was Ye Linhan’s, Han Muzi almost broke down at the time. She felt that she had no right to face Ye Moxuan after giving birth to the child.
Then…
The past did not bear remembering.
Han Muzi closed her eyes, tears silently pouring from the corner of her eyes, seeping into the pillow next to her.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Moxuan seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Han Muzi came back to her senses and shook her head.
“It’s nothing. It’s getting late and I have finished asking what I wanted. Let’s get some rest.”
After a moment of silence, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure that you are all right?”
Han Muzi let a chuckle while wiping away her tears. “I’m fine. Go to sleep.”
After speaking, she closed her eyes.
Yishu… you would definitely be happy if you see your daddy, right? After all, he’s your real daddy.
Although a lot of things happened back then, Han Muzi was too tired now to give a damn.
And there was no need for her to be jealous. The woman that Ye Moxuan cared about, both back then and now, was her.
With these thoughts in her mind, she slowly drifted into sleep.
Although she was satisfied and had fallen asleep, Ye Moxuan was a different matter.
After he told Han Muzi the date, she seemed a little choked up, and wondered if she was crying.
But he couldn’t hear anything wrong from the way she chuckled.
It wasn’t until Han Muzi’s breathing even out that Ye Moxuan slowly raised himself up and looked at her cheeks under the moonlight. He noticed that the corners of her eyes were stained with tears.
Although her tears had already dried, when he touched the corner of her eyes, he could still tell the difference.
She cried, huh?
Ye Moxuan pressed his lips, his brows furrowing.
Is it because I clearly remembered the date, resulting in her becoming jealous and sad? Is that why she cried?
The reason he could so clearly remember the date was because so many things had happened on that day. Not only because he wanted that mysterious woman, but it was also the day that he was set up.
He needed to remember that day so that he would never again fall for that sort of trap in the future.
Seeing the faint tear tracks, Ye Moxuan lowered himself and gave Han Muzi a kiss, his movements were as light as a feather. After a while, he lay beside her, but his heart felt like it was caught in a vice.
…
In the country.
Yan propped herself on the table writing furiously. After writing for a while, she felt it wasn’t right, so she threw away the paper in her hand.
She continued to rewrite a page, but once more felt that it wasn’t right, so she did it again.
After seeing her throw away countless papers, Han Yishu, who was sitting on the sofa hugging a fruit basket, couldn’t help it anymore.
“Aunty Yan, you’ve already wasted a lot of paper.”
Hearing this, Yan lifted her head and shot him a glare. “It’s not like I’m wasting yours. I bought all of these myself.”
“But…” Han Yishu ate a grape. “You could type it on a computer, so editing and deleting becomes much easier. Why do you waste paper like this? My teacher said that it’s bad to waste things.”
Yan could not refute.
“Fine.” She scratched her long hair furiously and gave an angry huff. “It’s just so annoying, not being able to write well.”
“Actually, you don’t really need to write. After all, no matter how you write, Uncle Qing would never use your writing.”
“What do you mean he won’t use my writing?” Yan gave a harumph. “Everything starts out difficult in the beginning. If he’s not willing to use my writing in the beginning, I will just have to try and try again. Who knows, I might just succeed.”
“Oh.” Han Yishu rubbed his chin, as if thinking about something. “Uncle Qing is a cold man. Instead of becoming a secretary at his company, why not consider becoming a babysitter for the Han Family?”
“A babysitter?” Yan looked at him with large disbelieving eyes. “Are you actually a devil in disguise? You want me to become a babysitter for your Uncle Qing? Do you know how dangerous it is for young women like me to be a babysitter?”
Han Yishu paused in his eating as he looked at Yan in confusion.
“Danger? What danger?”
Yan got up and walked in front of him, and poked his forehead with her finger.
“You little moron. Is eating everyday the only thing you know how to do? Young, beautiful women who become babysitters are easily targeted by those kinds of male employers. When they do, they’ll get bullied.”
Han Yishu swallowed the grape in his mouth, then blinked his eyes and tilted his head.
“But Uncle Qing is the head of the Han Family. Didn’t you want to be bullied by him?”
A thought suddenly came to Yan’s mind.
That’s right. Isn’t the head of the Han Family Han Qing? If Han Qing wanted to do anything to her, she was completely fine with it.
Her only fear was that he didn’t want to do anything to her.
Wait a minute, what the heck was I thinking?
And what was up with Han Yishu? Why was he telling her this? And how did he know these things?
Thinking about this, Yan leaned over, her eyes narrowed dangerously at Han Yishu. And suddenly, her hand grabbed Han Yishu by the ear.
“Tell me honestly, how do you know so much about these things? And at such a young age too. Did you not receive proper lessons on etiquette?”
Yan was as fierce as a demon. She tightened her grip and Han Yishu’s ear quickly turned red as he gave a pained yelp. “Ow! Aunty Yan, let go! It hurts!”
“Hurts, huh? Look at you, learning things you shouldn’t learn. I knew you were smart, but this takes the cake. And should you be learning about these things? Now then, I want you to quickly forget about everything I said, as well as everything impure in your head.”
“Ow…” Han Yishu kept yelping in pain. He tried pushing away Yan’s hand, but couldn’t manage it, and tears quickly gathered in his eyes from the pain.
He had no choice but to use his final trump card. “Aunty Yan, if you don’t let go of my ear right now, I’ll immediately give Uncle Qing a call and say bad things about you!”
Hearing Han Qing’s name being mentioned, Yan was struck dumb. Just from a moment of slip-up, Han Yishu had already escaped from her hand.
He covered his ear that was pinched red and ran to the staircase, a leg already on the first step. Then, he turned around his head and looked at Yan.
“Hmph, if you bully me again, I’ll phone Uncle Qing everyday and tell him what a bad person you are. After that, you’ll never get another chance with him.”
“Don’t you dare!”
Yan angrily placed her hands on her hips. “You’re prohibited from calling him! I’m still planning on becoming your aunt-in-law!”
“Then start ingratiating me. If you do, I’ll bring you to see Uncle Qing.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 648
Hearing this, Yan was startled.
Then she thought of something, and her eyes sparkled instantly.
“Oh, Little Bean!”
She called out and then spread her arms and ran towards Han Yishu. Han Yishu was so scared that he was about to turn around and run upstairs, but he heard Yan yelling, “Little Bean, you really are a clever kid! You are my lucky star!”
Han Yishu gave a confused ‘eh’ before pausing in his tracks, and turned to look at Yan.
“The suggestion you gave just now was simply wonderful. Why didn’t I think about it before? Han Qing is your uncle, so there’s nothing strange about you visiting him often. There’s no need for me to look for a new job, for I can just depend on you.”
Yan said while pinching Han Yishu’s face, her movements were very gentle, and her tone of voice was especially flattering.
“Little Bean, darling, your Aunty Yan usually treats you well, right?” Her smile and tone were becoming strained. “Your uncle has been single for so many years, so it wouldn’t be right for him to grow old alone, right? And you wouldn’t want to see him be lonely, do you?”
Han Yishu’s eyes blinked. “Uncle Qing wouldn’t be lonely. He’s rich, so there are plenty of women who want to marry him.”
Hearing, the expression on Yan’s face suddenly became distressed.
“You are right. Your uncle is affluent. There are a lot of women in North City who want to marry him, and I… am just one of many. I’m not as beautiful as the others, nor am I as talented as them, but I have you. With you as my secret weapon, my chances are higher than any of them! So why don’t you bring me to meet your uncle while you put in some good words for me?”
Seeing that he was unmoved, Yan could only tempt him with various promises.
“How about from now on I make you sweet and sour pork ribs everyday?”
He seemed to not have heard her, and continued to blink, looking at her with clear, innocent eyes.
Yan gritted her teeth. “As well as Song Sao Fish!”
He continued to blink, his eyes sparkling.
“Fine!” Yan knew when she was beaten. “How about in the future whenever you want to eat anything, you just give me a yell and I’ll make it for you immediately, deal?”
Han Yishu’s eyes brightened, and he finally gave a nod. “Deal!”
Yan was happy that her goal was finally achieved. She knew that things might be a little difficult for her in the future, but for the sake of getting her man, she would put up with it.
…
The night went by quickly. When Han Muzi woke up, she seemed to hear something outside.
Her eyelids were still heavy, so she didn’t put too much thought about it, and turned around to continue sleeping.
Eyes closed, Han Muzi thought back about the sound she just heard, and felt that something wasn’t right.
After thinking about it, she opened her eyes again. Her beautiful eyes that had just woken up were still blurred from sleep, like the clouds in the sky.
The voice of a woman?
Aren’t we in a hotel? Why is there a woman’s voice outside?
When Han Muzi felt something was amiss, her body was already moving. She lifted the quilt with her hand, sat up, and got out of bed.
This hotel was a suite, so there were separate rooms and living rooms, kitchens and washrooms.
Right now, there were several people in the living room.
Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze swept over them and he sneered, “In the past, I had heard that the Duanmu Family was one of the top families in upper society overseas. But now it turns out that your family is really lacking in common courtesy that you can’t even match a normal, working class family.”
Duanmu Xue stood in place with a depressed expression. Beside her stood a tall man with a handsome face.
The man’s facial features were extremely flamboyant, for the corners of his eyes were upturned, resembling a fox. His gaze was even more enticing than Duanmu Xue.
Yet there wasn’t any hint of femininity in him.
“Zhe!” Duanmu Xue was struck by Ye Moxuan’s words, and hurriedly pulled the man beside her and asked him for help.
The man was her elder brother, Duanmu Zhe.
Duanmu Zhe had a hand in his pocket. Although he was wearing a smile, the pressure he was giving off didn’t lose to Ye Moxuan in the slightest.
“Young Master Ye, your words are too harsh. My sister has always been a polite individual. It’s just that our family has always been open minded, so when we find someone we love, we give it our all. If you think that my sister is rude, you can only blame yourself for looking too handsome, making my sister fall in love with you at first sight.”
Duanmu Xue nodded her head in agreement.
“That’s right.”
“Moxuan, I really didn’t use my authority to enter your room deliberately. It just happened that the hotel you were staying in belongs to me, so… I couldn’t help myself.”
Ye Moxuan was feeling vexed.
The Duanmu Family’s main industry was hotels. Most of the hotels abroad were owned by the Duanmu Family.
What gave him a headache was how he settled in on a hotel owned by the Duanmu Family again.
He sneered as he said, “Get out.”
Duanmu Zhe’s expression shifted slightly. “I say, Young Master Ye, you are being quite rude yourself. You complained about my sister lacking manners, yet now you’re doing the same thing.”
Looking at the pair of siblings in front of him, especially Duanmu Zhe, they had been talking endlessly since they came in.
But dealing with a man who was as long-winded as an old woman was making it difficult for him to restrain his anger.
Most importantly, Muzi was still resting.
This might disturb her.
Just when he was thinking about this, a confused female voice rang out.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone followed the voice and saw a woman with fair skin, messy hair and red lips standing in a man’s shirt.
The man’s shirt reached her thigh, just covering her butt, but it showed her legs, white and lean.
Duanmu Zhe gave her a glance, but before he had time to look more carefully, a tall figure had rushed over, took off his coat and wrapped it over Han Muzi’s body.
Ye Moxuan’s face was livid, and he put the coat he had just taken off over her, covering her currently alluring appearance, and then in a low tone asked, “Why did you pop out suddenly?”
Han Muzi remained silent for a moment before she looked up at Ye Moxuan. “You guys woke me up.”
I knew it.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes narrowed. He pulled her into his arms, blocking all gazes with his figure, and swept his cold eyes toward the Duanmu siblings.
“Get out. Before I lose my temper.”
Han Muzi was taken aback. Although Ye Moxuan said that he was not angry yet, Han Muzi could already hear the anger in his tone.
She quietly poked her head out of Ye Moxuan’s arms and looked at the two.
Who were these two? And why did they barge into our room so early in the morning?
When Han Muzi looked over, the two of them were also sizing her up.
Duanmu Zhe looked for a while, then curled his lips.
“Xue, could it be that this is your rival in love?”
The moment Duanmu Xue laid her eyes on Han Muzi, she knew that she was her rival for Ye Moxuan’s affections, and a strong rival at that.
She could tell from how Ye Moxuan fretted over her.
She also knew that if she wanted to be with Ye Moxuan, she would have to put in a lot more effort.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 649
“Hi.” Duanmu Zhe suddenly raised his hand and greeted Han Muzi.
Han Muzi was stunned for a moment. This person’s eyes are kind, but the one next to him…
Han Muzi and Duanmu Xue looked at each other, and saw a strong hostility radiating from her eyes.
For some reason, Han Muzi suddenly had a hunch that this woman was the one who answered her phone that night and said that Ye Moxuan was taking a bath.
She’s wearing glamorous clothes, while I…
Han Muzi’s eyes paused, then the corners of her lips curled up.
“Don’t be so quick to chase them away. Since they are here, you might as well act as a good host.”
“Muzi?” Ye Moxuan asked.
He frowned and couldn’t figure out what Han Muzi was thinking. Why did she want him to play host to the two siblings?
“I’ll go freshen up.” Han Muzi drew the coat tightly to herself and smiled at Ye Moxuan before she turned around and entered the room.
After Han Muzi entered the room, she quickly threw away Ye Moxuan’s coat and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, then put on her clothes and makeup on as quickly as possible.
Making sure that her makeup was perfect, Han Muzi pulled her long hair back, then got up and walked outside.
Pushing the door open again, she saw that the Duanmu siblings were sitting on the sofa.
Duanmu Zhe’s posture was languid, with a teacup on his lap, his expression seemed indifferent. Hearing her entering, he instantly looked toward Han Muzi.
With just a glance, Duanmu Zhe’s eyes gained a stunned look, and he said, “Xue, I think you should give up.”
Hearing this, Duanmu Xue straightened her waist. “Why should I give up? Moxuan is not married yet, so I still have a chance.”
When Ye Moxuan saw Han Muzi come out, he noticed that she had changed her skirt and put on makeup, and had placed special care on her makeup.
He felt that he now understood what she was getting at.
A faint hint of amusement flashed across his eyes. Ye Moxuan remained sitting and when he saw Han Muzi walking up to his side, he naturally raised his hand and offered the seat next to him.
Duanmu Xue had been watching Han Muzi, so it was obvious to her that she had gone in to freshen up and apply makeup. Although she had spent a relatively short time, she has dressed up well.
After thinking about it, Duanmu Xue straightened her waist again and looked at Han Muzi with a smile.
“Young miss, were you in such a hurry to clean yourself up because you were afraid of losing to me?”
Just as Han Muzi sat down beside Ye Moxuan, she heard her sentence.
She froze for a moment, then looked at Duanmu Xue.
Duanmu Xue was wearing a suit skirt, with bright red lipstick, and her curly hair made her look imposing.
As for Han Muzi, she changed into a light-blue dress today; the clear, bright color made her fair skin look crystal clear, seemingly flawless. Covered with soft blue silk and simple makeup, she completed her outlook with a fuchsia lipstick.
Han Muzi, who was sitting next to Ye Moxuan, almost merged with him.
Ye Moxuan’s powerful presence enveloped the gentle Han Muzi.
Han Muzi leaned slightly against Ye Moxuan, her lips curled slightly up at just the right angle.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean. I had just woken up before, so I wasn’t dressed appropriately for guests. You think that I went back to dress up to compete with you? Do you usually dress up in pajamas when you have guests at home?”
Duanmu Xue paused, watching as Han Muzi’s eyes became serious.
It seemed that this woman was not someone who was easy to deal with. When she took a look at Duanmu Zhe and realized that he was enjoying the show, she wanted to give him a vicious kick.
But Ye Moxuan was in front of her, so she resisted the impulse, and said slowly, “Of course not. The Duanmu Family pays much attention to etiquette and appearances.”
“But…” Duanmu Xue glanced at her, then set her gaze on Ye Moxuan.
“Even if you come out in pajamas, I wouldn’t mind. After all, I came here for Moxuan.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi wasn’t annoyed. Instead, she smiled and hooked Ye Moxuan’s arm.
“If that’s the case, then I need to formally freshen up so that I don’t embarrass him.”
Ye Moxuan felt the movement of her hand, and he met her beautiful eyes. After understanding her meaning, Ye Moxuan nodded in agreement.
“Only I can see you without your makeup on.”
After he finished speaking, he touched the corners of her lips with his finger, and wiped it lightly. His fingertip was stained with a bit of color, and then he moved his finger to his lips to taste it, and his thin lips curled up.
“You used a peach-flavored lipstick for today?”
The smile on Han Muzi’s lips froze.
The smile had disappeared on Duanmu Xue’s face. Seeing what Ye Moxuan did, she couldn’t keep it in any longer as her hands on her lap clenched tightly together.
Was this man, who is acting so tenderly now, the same man as the one who was worried that he might come into contact with her and wrapped her in a quilt and threw her out of the room roughly last time?
Why was there such a big difference between them? When he was in front of her, he acted like a frozen glacier. But when he was in front of that woman…
Duanmu Xue discretely bit her lower lip, then heard her brother next to her give her a reminder.
“Let me just remind you that if you give up now, you won’t have lost too much face.”
“Shut up,” Duanmu Xue reprimanded in a low voice. “I finally fell in love with someone. You said you would help me, and now you are telling me to retreat?”
Duanmu Zhe sighed. “Yes, I did say that I would help you, but don’t you see? He only has eyes for that woman. You have no chance.”
“They are not married, so who says I don’t have a chance?” Duanmu Xue said angrily, for she was really jealous in her heart.
She could handle it if Ye Moxuan treated her a bit coldly, but seeing how much better he treated Han Muzi compared to how he treated herself really made her upset.
As soon as Duanmu Xue finished speaking, Ye Moxuan clasped Han Muzi’s shoulders tightly, and suddenly said, “By the way, we will be holding our wedding next month.”
The smile in Han Muzi’s eyes froze. She didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly say something like this.
She did agree to make up with him, but the two of them weren’t even close to getting married.
Why did he…
“What did you say?” Duanmu Xue couldn’t sit still anymore, and stood up quickly.
“The two of you are going to marry next month?”
Didn’t that mean that she only had a month left to make Moxuan hers?
She had planned on them splitting up!
“Is that so?” Then congratulations are in order. Do remember to invite us to the wedding.”
Duanmu Zhe’s reaction was completely different from his sister’s. He was still lying there with a languid look, even the smile on his lips was extremely casual.
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan sneered, “The Duanmu Family is very busy, so I don’t think an invitation would be necessary.”
“No, no, it’s fine. I’m the president of the Duanmu Family, so I actually have a lot of free time.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless.
This man is truly thick-skinned.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 650
“Seriously, when you get married, remember to send an invitation to the Duanmu Family. I will take my sister to your wedding and choose a husband for her who is a hundred times more handsome than you. But you probably wouldn’t allow someone who’s more handsome than you to appear at your own wedding, right?”
Having said this, Duanmu Zhe even held his chin in a thinking motion.
Han Muzi was stunned when she heard what he said. This man in front of me who looks so beautiful but not feminine is actually Duanmu Xue’s brother?
They… do not resemble each other in the slightest.
Although Duanmu Xue was also a beauty, her aura is completely different from that of Duanmu Zhe. Whether it was the eyebrows or their facial features, the two did not share a single resemblance.
When Duanmu Xue heard what her brother had said, she became anxious and tugged at his shirt sleeves.
“Zhe, what are you saying? Saying that I am going to attend his wedding banquet and pick up a man there. Duanmu Zhe, what kind of person do you think I am?”
The expression on Duan Muze’s face was despicable, and he grinned. “Didn’t you fall for this man because of his looks? Now that he is about to get married, it wouldn’t be proper of you to pine after him. That’s why your big brother has decided to bring you out to look for a better one to bring home.”
Duanmu Xue stood abashed.
She had wanted to show off in front of her rival. However, she didn’t think that her own brother would embarrass her to the point that she had lost all dignity.
“Who said that I fell for him because of his looks? You don’t get it at all!”
After speaking, Duanmu Xue glared at Han Muzi angrily, then turned her head and left.
“Don’t send invitations to us. I definitely will not attend your wedding!”
The corners of Han Muzi’s mouth twitched, and she spat out two words, “Feel free.”
Ye Moxuan looked at her coldly. “As you wish.”
Duanmu Xue left in exasperation. When she arrived at the door, the servants hurriedly supported her. “Miss Duanmu, are you okay?”
Duanmu Xue held her head up high and puffed out her chest, as proud as a peacock. The servants then hurriedly followed after her.
After walking a few steps, Duanmu Xue suddenly waved her hand. “Come over and support me! I’m so angry that I can’t stand anymore!”
“Miss Duanmu!” The servants rushed up and quickly supported her.
“Damn it! Just when I finally find a man I like, someone gets in my way! And who was it among you lot who said to me that he was single? Why did a fiancée suddenly appear by his side? I’ve lost a lot of face because of this!”
The servants all lowered their heads, their voices were as loud as a mosquito.
“It… it should be false information, Miss Duanmu. When we get back, we will beat up the person who gave this info to death.”
“That’s right! We’ll beat him black and blue!”
“Forget it, just help me back home. I need to center myself, then come up with a plan!”
Duanmu Xue had originally thought that Han Muzi was just a normal woman chasing after Ye Moxuan, so she was confident about her chances. After all, with her status and beauty, there was no man she couldn’t get.
But now, hearing that he was going to marry, she realized that very soon, she would lose her chance to pursue him.
But her shame came pouring back to her quickly.
Why did she keep hanging on to someone who was about to get married? And remembering what she had said to Han Muzi and finding out that she was his fiancée, Duanmu Xue really felt foolish about herself. She was an absolute fool!
“My sister was so angry that she left? I really have to hand it to you guys. Then I’ll be going as well.” Duanmu Zhe finally stopped lying on the sofa, and stood up with one hand in his pocket. “Ye Moxuan, remember to send me an invitation next month. My sister may not want it, but I do.”
His raised, fox eyes fell on Han Muzi’s face, and he smiled widely.
“Just asking, does the future Mrs. Ye have any sisters?”
Han Muzi grimaced, but before she could answer, Ye Moxuan gave a cold snort. “None of your business. Your mission is over, so leave.”
“Damn,” Duanmu Zhe cursed. “You really are heartless. I came over here early in the morning to help you, and now that my sister is gone, you’re going to give me the cold shoulder?”
Ye Moxuan frowned and looked at the frivolous guy in front of him.
Before signing the contract, he and Duanmu Zhe had only met a few times. Although the man in front of him seemed to be smiling, Ye Moxuan knew that he was not as simple as he looked.
A family as large as Duanmu was tightly under his control, with everyone from the top to bottom working hard together like a well-oiled machine.
Perhaps, the seeming lackluster attitude was just a way for him to fool others.
Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and his gaze pierced Duanmu Zhe like a sharp arrow.
“Wow, I’m really scared of your look. Anyway, since my sister is gone, and I have nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave. Future Mrs. Ye, if you have a younger or older sister, please remember to introduce her to me.”
Saying finished, Duanmu Zhe gave her a wink.
Han Muzi was baffled by the man’s attitude.
This guy is really… she couldn’t help but grimaced again.
Thinking about it, today might be the most she had grimaced.
When Duanmu Zhe had left, Han Muzi was lost in her thoughts, until a sharp pain from her waist brought back her attention.
Looking at Ye Moxuan who was holding her in his arms, Han Muzi raised her eyebrows.
“Why are you holding me so tightly? It hurts.”
She stretched out her hand to pull away Ye Moxuan’s big hand on her waist.
Ye Moxuan’s frown deepened. Not only did he not let go, but he used his other hand to grab her.
“What are you thinking about?”
Voice hoarse and tinged with jealousy, he asked irritably, “Were you lost in thought because you were thinking about him?”
Han Muzi was stunned for several seconds before coming back to her senses, and looked at the striking face in front of her mirthfully.
“Ye Moxuan, are you that unconfident about yourself?”
“Hmm?”
“Why would I be seduced by other men when I have you here in front of me?”
The sudden compliment stunned Ye Moxuan. Han Muzi was immediately taken aback upon realizing what she had said when she finished speaking.
Why did I praise him? I’m just fueling his arrogance further!
Han Muzi was just about to say something to ease his concern, but she noticed that Ye Moxuan’s ears turned bright red.
Thinking that she was mistaken, she took a closer look and saw that they were indeed red.
“You… can actually get embarrassed?”
She said this with no small amount of surprise, staring at his red ears. Curious, she couldn’t help but want to stretch out her hands and touch his ears.
Just when her fingertips were about to touch his ears, Ye Moxuan grabbed her hands.
“What are you doing?” he asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Han Muzi blinked, still trying to reach out and touch his ears, a curious look on her face. “Just let me touch them for a bit.”
This was the first time he was acting all shy in front of her, so she was really surprised.
“You can touch them if you want.” Ye Moxuan leaned his body over and nibbled on her ear. “You just have to give me something in exchange.”
“Forget about it,” said Han Muzi.
“Too late for that.”
