Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 651

Ye Moxuan did not intend to let her go, and so he grabbed her hand. “Weren’t you planning on touching me? Go on.”

However, she didn’t have the courage to touch him because she knew that she would pay dearly for doing that. Han Muzi still wasn’t feeling well till now, and she couldn’t survive another round of torture from Ye Moxuan. She couldn’t even stand it once, let alone several rounds of it.

Once she thought of that, she smiled in embarrassment before pulling her hand away. “Well… excessive indulgence is not the best idea. I think we should forget about it…”

Just as she completed her sentence, Ye Moxuan pulled her hand to touch his reddened ear.

Han Muzi was dumbfounded, and she looked at Ye Moxuan in a daze. Is this man… a crook???

“Are you trying to pretend and forget about it after touching me?” Ye Moxuan pinned her down, and he kissed her neck with his cool lips. She felt his hot breath against her neck quicken significantly.

“Do you trust me now that the troubles are solved?”

Han Muzi paused, and she instinctively hugged Ye Moxuan, who was nestled against her neck, before whispering, “To be honest…”

“Huh?”

She couldn’t bring herself to say anything after a long hesitation. “Nothing.”

“What is it?” Her hesitation worried Ye Moxuan. He recalled the tears in the corners of her eyes last night, and he became even more anxious, effectively dampening his passion. He then pulled away and gazed into her eyes seriously. “Just tell me if you want to say something.”

Han Muzi shook her head. “Honestly, it’s nothing. I was just spacing out just now.” Actually, she just wanted to say that she believed him long ago, but it just seemed pointless to bring it up since they were already at this stage, and so she didn’t feel like talking about it. After a moment of silence, she added, “I do trust you.”

Ye Moxuan stared at her unblinkingly, as if still worried about something. “In that case, last night…”

“What about last night?”

Looking into her clear eyes while recalling how she took the initiative this morning, Ye Moxuan felt as if he was overthinking. Am I worried about losing her because I care too much? When it comes to business, I can analyze and understand the situation well. However, in front of the love of my life, it feels as if I am at a complete loss. The mind of a woman…

Ye Moxuan inhaled deeply while embracing her tightly. “Nothing,” he stated in a gravelly voice.

Han Muzi blinked several times while nuzzling against his chest. “Have you bought the return air tickets?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Aren’t you planning to go home?” Han Muzi looked up and scowled at him. “Wouldn’t your company be in a mess if you don’t go back soon?”

“Xiao Su is around; the company will be fine.”

“But…”

“We are finally somewhere else together. Don’t you want to hang around?” Ye Moxuan started to tempt her.

He was basically asking if she would like to go on a vacation with him. I’m actually rather tempted to go on a trip with him. However… I’ve just reconciled with him recently. I can’t very well abandon my company and family just like that, can I? After weighing her options, Han Muzi shook her head. “Another time, maybe. It is not a good time now. I left the country on a whim, and I have many unattended matters.”

“What matters are they? Can I help you with them?”

Han Muzi hesitated before answering him, “No, I need to attend to them in person.”

“Muzi…” Ye Moxuan nuzzled against the side of her neck while calling her name in a husky voice. He deepened his voice on purpose, and he sounded seductive. His voice was like a glass of well-aged wine, which would feel rich and fragrant as one swallowed it; in fact, it would be difficult to stop at only a glass.

Han Muzi felt her heart skip a beat, but she was determined to stick to her plans. “No, I’m not going. We’ll go on a trip next time.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to? It’s a rare chance…”

Han Muzi didn’t want to listen anymore, and so she shoved against him and got up. Then, she walked into the room.

After entering the room, Han Muzi entered the bathroom straight away. After that, she started removing her make-up with some make-up remover wipes. She had nothing to do today after all, and she was not used to having make-up on her face constantly. It gave her the feeling as if she was wearing a mask, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

After removing her make-up, Han Muzi started packing her things, and she checked the flight tickets on her phone. Coincidentally, Ye Moxuan entered the room, and Han Muzi told him immediately, “There are still tickets for 5pm. Shall I book them now?”

She asked him without turning to look at him, and so she did not notice the scowl on Ye Moxuan’s face. “Are you in such a rush to go home?”

“I told you I left on a whim. There are many things left unattended to. Do you insist I stay?”

Ye Moxuan heard the helplessness in her tone, and he finally realized that he was being too forceful. Hence, he responded accordingly, “Alright, I’ll get someone to book the tickets.”

“That’s not necessary. Hand me your ID, and I’ll book it for you.”

Ye Moxuan approached her and gave her his ID number.

Han Muzi was quick, but she pouted after booking their flight tickets. “I wouldn’t have removed my make-up if I’d known we’d have to leave in the afternoon.”

“You can reapply in the afternoon. You look good both with and without make-up anyway.”

Han Muzi decided not to put make-up on after considering her options. I’ll just wear a face mask; I’m not going to work after all.

The two of them checked out of the room when it was time and left together for the airport.

Before heading home, Han Muzi sent Yan a message, stating that she was taking the 5pm flight, and that it would most probably be midnight by the time she arrived home.

After learning that Han Muzi was returning home, Yan immediately replied to her message, stating that Little Bean was asking for a present.

A present? Han Muzi was stumped when she read the message. I’ve been in a rush throughout this trip. How would I possibly have time to get a present for Little Bean?

Just when she was about to reject her, an arm shot out from beside her and snatched her phone away before replying with two words. ‘Of course.’

Han Muzi asked in shock, “What are you doing?” She wanted to grab her phone back. “We are already at the airport. How could we find time to buy a present?”

Ye Moxuan grinned at her mysteriously. “I bought one.”

“Y-You did?” Han Muzi asked in surprise. “When did you head out to buy a present? Why didn’t I know that? Besides—”

“I’ll give him the present when I see him.” Ye Moxuan locked the phone screen before returning it to her. Then, he pulled her wrist and embraced her tightly.

“I’m his daddy now after all. I should prepare a gift for our official meeting.”

Han Muzi felt something wasn’t quite right. How did he manage to prepare a present in such short notice? We spent the entire time in the hotel for the past few days. I didn’t see him bring anything back after heading out the other day.

She was slightly curious. “What did you buy for him? Can I have a look at the present?”

“Why?” Ye Moxuan cocked a brow at her. “Are you trying to snatch away your son’s present too?”

Han Muzi retorted, “Who says I’m trying to snatch it away? I’m just curious to know what it is.”

“No.” Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and slowly formed a smirk. “This is a secret between my child and me. You are not allowed to know what it is.”

Han Muzi answered in resignation, “Fine.”

She had a strange feeling that despite her role as a mother, once both father and son were reunited, she might be left behind.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 652

It was in the middle of the night when Xiao Su specifically drove to the airport to pick them up.

His hair was in a mess, and he had dark shadows underneath his eyes. He looked worn out and haggard.

He hadn’t slept for many days.

Almost all of Ye Moxuan’s work fell on his assistant, Xiao Su’s, shoulders ever since he started his journey to pursue his wife.

It is undeniable that my salary has increased in folds.

However, I feel as if I’ve aged several years within the past few days.

If this goes on, I might die an early death.

I hope Ye Moxuan will end up together with Second Young Lady as soon as possible. In that case, I’d suffer less.

Just when he was deep in thought, Xiao Su saw two familiar figures at the entrance.

It is Young Master Ye and Second Young Lady.

Xiao Su’s eyes brightened with hope, and he got out of the car to welcome them. “Young Master Ye.”

Xiao Su suddenly had the illusion that the two of them rekindled their relationship when he saw Ye Moxuan holding Han Muzi, who appeared to be in a sleeping stupor, in his arms.

After getting into the car, Han Muzi slumped against Ye Moxuan’s embrace and fell asleep again, but she handed him her ID just in time. “Send me to a hotel. It’s already late now; I don’t want to bother them.”

Ye Moxuan raised his hand and held onto her ID. He looked down at her ID before smiling in silence.

“You don’t want to bother them? In that case, I’ll take you to somewhere else. Would you prefer that?”

Han Muzi nodded in a stupor. “Mm-hmm…”

Xiao Su blinked several times after observing the scene unfold before him through the rearview mirror. He confirmed quietly with Ye Moxuan.

“Young Master Ye, are you guys…?”

“Head to their residential community.”

Xiao Su had no choice but to nod his head, and he continued driving ahead. He couldn’t help but steal glances at the two of them behind. He realized that Ye Moxuan was taking good care of Han Muzi, and she was not resisting him either. Instead, she was sleeping soundly while leaning against him.

Maybe… they have truly reconciled.

“Focus on driving.” A deep and eerie voice rang from the back passenger seat suddenly. Xiao Su snapped back to reality and kept his gaze ahead.

Ye Moxuan kept her ID.

There weren’t many cars on the road since it was late at night, and so Xiao Su was quick. Upon arriving at their destination, he opened the door for Ye Moxuan, who got out of the car with Han Muzi in his arms.

They were in Han Muzi’s neighborhood.

Xiao Su cleared his throat before asking in a whisper, “Young Master Ye, didn’t Second Young Lady mention that she doesn’t want to return to the residential community? Why did you…?”

“What is it?” Ye Moxuan cocked a brow at him. “Do I not have a place to live in this neighborhood?”

Xiao Su kept quiet straight away. That’s right. Young Master Ye already bought a house right opposite Second Young Lady’s. Why wouldn’t he have a place to stay? I suppose Young Master Ye is planning to take Second Young Lady there tonight.

Xiao Su had no reason to comment further since the two of them were reconciled now. Hence, he nodded and walked alongside them while helping with the elevator button and luggage.

Xiao Su turned to leave only after Ye Moxuan had settled Han Muzi down.

However, before entering the elevator, Xiao Su couldn’t help but glance at the opposite house, and he was reminded that the other girl was living there. He shook his head to clear his mind before walking into the elevator.

…

“Aunty Yan, you mentioned that mommy is taking the 5PM flight yesterday. Why didn’t I see her despite waiting for her the entire night?” Little Bean questioned Yan while staring at her resentfully. It was early in the morning, and the moment she opened the door, Yan saw Little Bean sitting on the couch while swinging his legs.

Yan was astounded. She reached out to rub her cheeks to clear her mind.

“Is she not back yet? That’s strange. She told me she’d be on the 5PM flight. She should have arrived home at midnight last night. Have you checked her room?”

Little Bean pouted. “I was in mommy’s room the entire night last night. Hmph!”

“That doesn’t sound right. Did your mommy not return home the entire night? Hang on; let me phone and check with your mommy.”

With that, Yan turned around and ran upstairs. Then, she picked her phone up and phoned Han Muzi.

Han Muzi was dead asleep because she had been exhausted for the past few days. Hence, Ye Moxuan switched her phone to silent mode. In fact, he took her phone out of the bedroom after waking up in the morning.

Thus, Han Muzi, who was still fast asleep, obviously didn’t notice it when her phone was vibrating.

On the other hand, Yan was waiting anxiously. She scratched against the wall in distress since no one was answering her call. “Why isn’t she picking her phone up? Could something bad have happened?”

She started feeling anxious and restless, like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Just when Yan was about to hang up and try calling again, someone finally answered the call.

However, Yan was greeted by a deep and cold male voice.

“What is it?”

Yan was stumped when she heard this voice, and it took her several moments before she snapped back to reality.

This male voice sounds rather familiar…

Yan tried recalling who had been spending the last few days with Han Muzi, and it suddenly struck her.

“Y-Young Master Ye?”

Ye Moxuan frowned involuntarily when he heard the caller stutter on the other end of the line. Then, he asked coldly, “She’s still resting. What is it?”

Yan shook her head automatically, but she realized with a start that she was on a phone call, and so he couldn’t see her. Hence, she answered hastily, “N-Nothing. I was just checking on Muzi because she didn’t come home last night. That is why—”

“She’s here with me. Don’t worry.”

“Alright. If that’s all, I’m hanging up now…”

Yan ended the call nervously before placing a palm over her chest.

Damn it. That scared me witless. I can’t believe Ye Moxuan answered the phone call.

Till now, Yan was still extremely scared of him.

Yan was filled with despair upon considering the possibility that she would be meeting Ye Moxuan on a regular basis since he and Han Muzi had reconnected.

That cold and ruthless devil. Sob… He is too scary.

“Aunty Yan, where is my mommy?” Little Bean asked from behind.

Yan turned around and realized with a start that Little Bean was standing behind her without her noticing. She was stumped for several moments before she answered him, “When did you come in? Did you hear me on the phone just now?”

Little Bean blinked at her before answering, “I just got upstairs, Aunty Yan. Where’s my mommy? Did she answer her phone?”

“Uh… Your mommy is fine. Don’t worry.” Yan approached him and patted his head reassuringly. “Your mommy is busy looking for a stepdaddy for you. You don’t have to worry about her. Quick, go ahead and wash up before changing. I’ll send you to school after your breakfast.”

“Alright.” Little Bean nodded obediently. “What’s a stepdaddy?”

Yan hesitated before speaking, “Don’t you know what a stepdaddy is? I notice you are usually aware of a lot of things.”

“Mommy told me that… she is looking for a daddy, not a stepdaddy, for me.”

Daddy? Yan was reminded of the fact that the two of them looked like two peas in a pod. Thus, she shrugged. “I suppose so. It’s your daddy, anyway. Alright, go ahead and get yourself ready. I will be early to pick you up in the afternoon. Then, you can take me to your Uncle Qing’s company. When you see him, tell him that you missed him, and that you asked me to specifically send you there to see him. Do you understand me?”

Little Bean replied incredulously, “But… I don’t miss Uncle Qing at all!”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 653

Yan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing that.

“Little Bean, this isn’t what we agreed on. You promised me earlier. Are you going back on your word now?”

“However, I can tell Uncle Qing that I’m missing the lobsters of a certain restaurant, and I’d like him to take me there.”

When Yan heard that, her eyes gleamed brightly, and she hugged Little Bean’s shoulders tightly. She almost burst out in tears of gratitude. “Little Bean, you are truly my obedient baby. I’ll cook whatever you fancy in the future!”

Little Bean blinked several times, and he felt like he had hit the jackpot.

…

Han Muzi woke up at noon, and the sun was already shining bright. The room was especially bright despite having the curtains drawn.

She glanced at the strange surroundings and recalled what Ye Moxuan said to her last night.

She sat up slowly while thinking to herself, This doesn’t look like a hotel; it looks much more like a house. However, it doesn’t look familiar at all. Besides, I don’t hear the waves, and so this can’t be the Seabay Villa.

In that case, where am I?

Han Muzi lifted the blanket before getting out of the bed. The place was quiet, and she saw her phone placed on the table.

Han Muzi walked over to pick her phone up, and she saw a WeChat message from Ye Moxuan.

‘You should wash up in the bathroom after reading this message upon getting out of bed. I’ve prepared your toiletries, and there are clothes in the wardrobe. Wait for me to come back, and we’ll have lunch together.’

Han Muzi paused for a while before entering the bathroom, and true enough, there were toiletries prepared for her. Hence, she put her phone aside and started brushing her teeth and washing her face.

Then, she spaced out while staring at the mouthwash cups on the rack.

They are a set.

There are even three of them—two large ones and a smaller one.

It looks as though he specifically prepared these mouthwash cups for me and Little Bean as a family of three.

Upon seeing that, Han Muzi felt warmth spread in her heart somehow.

She switched her camera on; after adjusting the lighting and filter, she snapped a shot and stared at the picture with a silly smile.

Ten minutes had passed when she got out of the bathroom. She made her way to the wardrobe obediently and realized that there was a huge selection of women’s clothes when she opened the wardrobe door. There was a huge variety, ranging from tops to bottoms and dresses to skirts.

When did he… prepare these?

After looking at them, Han Muzi finally chose a set of casual clothes and changed into them. After that, she sat down to send Ye Moxuan a message.

‘It’s still early now. Why don’t I go home first? I won’t be waiting for you.’

At Ye Group.

A meeting was in progress, whereas Ye Moxuan was seated at the head of the table. He looked unfazed while staring at the shareholders entangled in a heated argument.

His phone in his pocket vibrated, and something gleamed in Ye Moxuan’s gaze. He fished his phone swiftly from his pocket.

Despite setting the rule himself, stating that no phones were allowed in meetings, he immediately thought of Han Muzi, who was supposedly asleep at his home, when his phone vibrated.

He was worried he might miss her message. When Ye Moxuan saw the WeChat notification across his phone screen, he smiled slightly. However, upon entering the WeChat interface, he read the message from Han Muzi, stating that she wouldn’t wait for him.

Ye Moxuan’s smile vanished from his face completely. He ignored the fact that he was still in the conference room and phoned her straight away.

Han Muzi placed her phone down after sending out the message. Since she just sent the message out, and Ye Moxuan was at work now, she wasn’t expecting a quick reply.

Unexpectedly, Ye Moxuan’s phone call came in as soon as her message was sent out.

It was as if he was haunting her…

Han Muzi answered the phone. “Hello?”

“What are you planning to do if you’re not going to wait for me?”

A deep and masculine voice reverberated throughout the meeting room. He tried lowering his voice, and it should have been swallowed by the arguments of the shareholders.

However, everyone was too familiar with Ye Moxuan’s voice, especially when he lowered his tone. That was because usually, when he lowered his voice, it was a clear indication that he was about to lose his temper, and so everyone was particularly sensitive to that tone.

Despite Ye Moxuan’s efforts to lower his voice, the shareholders turned swiftly to look at him.

They wanted to know if he was voicing an opinion.

Instead, they saw Ye Moxuan on a phone call.

What is happening?

Didn’t we agree that we shouldn’t use our phones during meetings? What is President Ye doing?

Hence, the group of people in the meeting turned toward Ye Moxuan while staring at him curiously.

“Huh?” Ye Moxuan cocked a brow. “Stay there obediently. You are not allowed to go anywhere else. I’ll pick you up at noon.”

Han Muzi rubbed her stomach while suppressing the urge to roll her eyes. “I’m hungry right now. I want to go out for food now before heading back to the company. You are busy after all, so why don’t—”

“You’re hungry?”

Upon learning that she was hungry, Ye Moxuan took a completely different stance immediately, and his voice took on a softer tone. “That’s an oversight on my part. I’ll go home and pick you up immediately. Don’t go anywhere.”

With that, he hung up on her and stood up abruptly.

Before the group in the conference room could respond, they witnessed Ye Moxuan picking his jacket up and making his way to the door.

It was only then that the group realized in horror what Ye Moxuan was doing, and several old men went forward to stop him.

“Y-Young Master Ye… we are still in the middle of a meeting. Where are you going?”

Ye Moxuan pondered before answering him, “I have something to attend to.”

Something?

One of the old men snorted loudly. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to leave in the middle of a meeting, don’t you agree? Besides, it’s not something urgent, Young Master—”

Before he could complete his sentence, Ye Moxuan shot him an icy glare.

“Do you have an objection?”

His gaze was as sharp as that of a falcon, and the group took a step backward reflexively in shock. However, they took a step forward after thinking things through.

“Young Master Ye, it’s not that I have an objection. It’s just that this is the time for everyone to discuss matters. The meeting is not even halfway done; wouldn’t it be rather inappropriate if you were to leave us right now?”

“Oh.” Ye Moxuan had a frosty expression. “In that case, the meeting is put on hold. Everyone shall wait right here, and you can continue when I’m back.”

“Y-Young Master Ye…”

“Young Master Ye, but time is money. Young—“

However, before they could finish their sentences, Ye Moxuan had already left through the conference room door and vanished.

Everyone exchanged shocked looks. After a while, someone asked in a quiet voice, “What should we do now? Should we really wait here?”

“Hmph, I think we should just forget it. Young Master Ye won’t be back for another few hours. Haven’t you all noticed his tone and expression during his earlier phone call?”

“Huh? Was Young Master Ye on the phone with a woman?”

“I think that’s most probably true. Everyone should return to their work respectively. This meeting… shall be postponed to tomorrow.”

“In that case… shall we leave? We will meet again tomorrow.”

Hence, the group of people started collecting their things, as if they had all come to an agreement. After that, they left the conference room.

Upon leaving, some of those who were still in the conference room suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. Have we… experienced this before?

Han Muzi was about to reject Ye Moxuan when he offered to pick her up just now, but he immediately hung up on her, as if afraid that she might reject him.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his reaction.

Must he always do things in such a vigorous and resolute manner?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 654

Since he told me to wait, I can’t very well head out right now and let him come back to an empty house, right?

Besides, I don’t even know where I am.

After weighing her options, she got up and walked out of the room. She wanted to check out the surrounding of the house and find out her current location.

Upon walking into the living room, Han Muzi noticed a very big balcony connected to the living room, but the curtains were blocking most of it.

She stretched lazily before walking to draw the curtains.

The weather is great today, and the sun is shining brightly. I wonder how long would Ye Moxuan take to arrive here.

Han Muzi walked out into the balcony to check out the surroundings. However, the more she looked around, the more it felt familiar. That gingko tree at the entrance of the residential community, and the familiar pebbled pathway.

Why… does this look exactly like my neighborhood? In fact, this position…

After about ten seconds, Han Muzi exited the balcony in a rush before dashing to the entrance briskly.

After opening the security door, Han Muzi stared wide-eyed at the entrance of her own house.

True enough…

It turns out that after I fell asleep last night, Ye Moxuan brought me to the unit opposite mine.

He has been living here all along.

In that instant, she felt overwhelmed with mixed feelings, but she just couldn’t describe them with words.

As far as I know, when I bought my house previously, no one lived in the unit across mine. It’s impossible that I bought a house opposite Ye Moxuan’s by chance.

This means that Ye Moxuan bought this house later on.

I don’t even need to guess the reason he bought the place.

Han Muzi shut her eyes before closing the door. Then, she walked back into the house.

Ye Moxuan arrived in a very short time. Han Muzi, who was sitting on the couch, looked toward the door when she heard it open.

His hair and clothes were slightly messy, and he had a sheen of sweat over his forehead. Han Muzi checked the time, and she noticed that barely ten minutes had passed since they ended the call.

He rushed over so quickly.

Han Muzi stood up, and Ye Moxuan approached her before hugging her waist snugly.

“It’s my mistake. You must be famished.”

“Uh… I’m not.” She shook her head. “How did you arrive so fast? Were you speeding?”

Ye Moxuan smiled at her. “Are you worried about me?”

She looked away, and he answered, “Don’t worry. I managed my speed well because I need to stay alive to take you out for a meal after all.”

Han Muzi couldn’t help but glare at him when she heard that. “Who needs you around for a meal? I could have handled it myself. Besides… this isn’t a foreign place to me.”

“I’m guessing you went out to have a look.”

Han Muzi nodded. “I had a look at the balcony when I was waiting for you, and so… I guessed as much.”

Ye Moxuan nuzzled against the side of her neck. His eyes twinkled with a hint of a smile when he saw her wearing clothes that he prepared for her.

“Do you like it?”

“What?” Han Muzi looked up at him in bewilderment, seemingly confused by his question.

“The clothes.” Ye Moxuan lowered his gaze at her. “I personally picked them.”

“You personally picked them?” She almost blurted out to comment that it was impossible. There are so many clothes in the wardrobe. How would he have had the time to pick them? However… the clothes are all in the right sizes, so I guess he’s telling the truth.

Hence, after blinking several times, she praised him, “Not bad. I like them.”

“Let me have a look too…” Ye Moxuan lowered his voice. He touched her collar, trying to unbutton her top.

Han Muzi’s expression stiffened, and she held onto his hands. “What are you doing?”

“I want to have a look at the clothes I picked.”

“You just have to look. Why are you taking my clothes off?” Han Muzi smacked his hands away before taking a step backward. He is so indecent. Ever since we reconciled, he has been trying to bed me whenever we are together…

Is it because he has been abstinent for too long? Why do I feel that he wasn’t like this before?

Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened when he heard that, and he took a step closer to her. “How can I see them without you taking your clothes off?”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response, and she stared at him in utter disbelief. After that, she dodged to the side while commenting, “Enough of that. Just look with your eyes. You can’t be—”

She paused abruptly, as if something struck her suddenly. She stood rooted to the spot while staring at him wide-eyed.

“When you say that you personally picked them, you can’t be…”

Referring to the undergarments, right? Han Muzi lowered her eyes to her chest, and the corners of her lips twitched involuntarily. Just when she was spacing out, Ye Moxuan approached her again and hugged her waist with his large arm. Then, he started attacking the buttons across her chest.

“Please be obedient. I’ll just have a look.”

Han Muzi’s expression soured. “Ye Moxuan, stop it right now,” she yelled almost indignantly.

Ye Moxuan paused before lowering his head to gaze into her eyes. He looked at her pleadingly and asked in a husky voice, “I’ll just look. Please?”

Han Muzi inhaled deeply before answering him, “No.”

“Please?” Ye Moxuan was still trying to coax her. His deep, husky voice sounded seductive, and it made Han Muzi feel as if she was losing her willpower.

Her lips parted, and she met Ye Moxuan’s gaze.

In the end… as if bewitched, Han Muzi nodded.

Upon receiving her permission, Ye Moxuan did not even waste another second. He unfastened the buttons on her top, exposing her fair, delicate collarbone and the red straps on the side.

Han Muzi felt his movements across her skin, and she could also feel his breathing becoming heavier. She blinked nervously while biting her lower lip.

“A-Are you done looking?”

“Mm-hmm…” Ye Moxuan stared at her seriously before grinning in satisfaction. “It’s a perfect fit. It seems like the sizes I chose for you were correct.”

Seeing as he was staring openly at her, Han Muzi blushed furiously, and she shoved against him hard while clenching her jaws.

“Enough. You’ve looked enough. Can we have our lunch now? I’m starved.”

She dodged to the side before turning around to button up.

She had barely fastened the first button when Ye Moxuan hugged her from behind. “Can I order some takeout, and we can have the meal later?”

His breath felt hot against her neck when he spoke to her. In fact, his hands started roaming around her body too.

Alarm bells were going off in Han Muzi’s head because she knew why he wanted to order takeout. Hence, she came up with a quick excuse. “No, I need to go to the company after lunch. You can dream about meeting your son if you don’t let me leave the house today.”

The arms around her waist paused, and he retreated reluctantly away from her.

“Muzi, you are truly cruel to me,” Ye Moxuan complained. After that, as if he could no longer endure it, and it also seemed as if he needed to vent, Ye Moxuan suddenly got closer to Han Muzi and kissed her neck. He did that longer than usual, giving her tingling sensations. Just when she was about to push him away, Ye Moxuan retreated.

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Hang on.”

Han Muzi wanted to check if he left a mark on her neck, but Ye Moxuan picked her up straight away before leaving the house.

Han Muzi didn’t get the chance to check her neck until she arrived downstairs and got into the car.

True enough, there was a pink mark on her neck, and the worse thing was that she was wearing a top with a low neckline today.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 655

It’s too obvious.

Han Muzi touched the mark, and just when she was about to apply some concealer over it, she realized with a start that she did not bring her handbag along. She had nothing but her phone with her.

“Where’s my bag?”

“It’s most probably at home,” answered Ye Moxuan with a relaxed smile.

She touched the love bite while processing the situation. Then, she glared sideways at him suddenly. “Did you do that on purpose?”

“You are my woman. Is there a problem for me to leave a mark on my woman?” Ye Moxuan’s voice became deeper. “With this, others will not covet you because you are Young Lady Ye now.”

Han Muzi retorted in exasperation, “I am not. I am not legally married to you, nor have I had a wedding with you.”

Her words were like a huge blow to Ye Moxuan, and he kept quiet suddenly.

After his palpable silence, Han Muzi thought he might say something. However, he remained tight-lipped despite a long wait.

She felt slightly disappointed because she assumed that Ye Moxuan might say something along the lines of, I’m taking you to register our marriage, or that he might offer to hold a wedding or even propose to her.

However… there’s nothing in the end.

Am I overthinking? After all, we were married in the past.

Han Muzi sighed in her heart when she thought of that.

Forget it. I shouldn’t be too calculative. I am well aware of his feelings for me; how could I not? I suppose everything else is not important as long as the two of us are truly in love with each other.

I should be worried about the mark on my neck right now.

I’m sure someone else will notice it if I don’t try to conceal it.

What should I do?

After mulling over it for a long time, Han Muzi reached out to untie her ponytail. She let her hair down, and it draped over her shoulders, effectively blocking the pink love bite.

Ye Moxuan glanced at her. “Why are you concealing it?”

She ignored him and turned away to look out of the car window. He is the main culprit who caused so many problems for me.

She leaned against the window while staring outside, appearing like a sullen woman. Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but have a twinkle of a smile in his eyes.

“When are you… taking me to see our son?”

“Are you calling him your son even before meeting him? We aren’t even sure if he’d acknowledge you,” Han Muzi answered in a nasty tone.

Ye Moxuan frowned when he heard that.

That’s a problem too. After all, I have never met the child. I can’t be sure if he would be willing to acknowledge me as his daddy.

If he is willing to acknowledge me, everyone would be happy.

However… what if he is not willing to do that?

“He has to acknowledge me no matter what happens. After all, I am the only man in your life.”

Han Muzi was at a loss for words.

“I’ll have my ways to make him acknowledge me.”

Han Muzi answered him, “I-I haven’t figured things out. You need to wait slightly longer.”。

She was still feeling anxious, and she was especially nervous since she returned to China. Han Muzi was filled with anticipation and excitement, but she was scared at the same time.

Should I prepare some sort of rite if I were to get both father and son to meet, or should I hold something in conjunction with the occasion?

After considering her options, none of them felt right.

Han Muzi massaged her brows and felt a headache developing.

I suppose it’s best to discuss with Yan if we have the time once I get back to the company later.

Han Muzi relaxed significantly after deciding on that. She felt as if a huge burden was lifted from her chest.

After lunch, Ye Moxuan dropped her off at the entrance of the company building. Before she got out of the car, he reminded her, “Remember to update me once you’ve made up your mind. However… don’t make me wait too long. I can wait for a maximum of another three days.”

Han Muzi replied after a moment of hesitation, “I understand. Don’t worry.”

After that, she left briskly without having the courage to meet Ye Moxuan’s scorching gaze.

After entering the elevator, the feeling of his intense stare finally vanished, then Han Muzi let out a sigh of relief. Despite being with him and the fact that they had done everything, Ye Moxuan’s intense and lustful gaze still made her uncomfortable.

How would I describe it? It feels as if he were ready to eat me alive.

She fanned herself with her hand, trying to dissipate the heat.

Han Muzi felt rather guilty for not being in the company for the past few days. Fortunately, she did not bump into anyone when she was riding the elevator. She saw Yan, who was extremely busy, once she entered the office.

“Pardon? Pardon me? I am not clear with your description. Can you please repeat that? Miss Xia, why don’t you drop by our company for a face-to-face discussion this afternoon? Don’t worry; we will give you a quotation for the style and the material price range of your choice!”

“Yes, of course. That’s not a problem at all.”

“Sure. Thank you so much for your understanding. I’m hanging up now. Goodbye!”

After Yan ended the phone call, she answered the next one straight away. Han Muzi was amused while she observed Yan frantically juggling her tasks. Hence, she continued observing her at the office door with her hands crossed in front of her chest.

When Yan was finally done with her work, she started pacing the office. She looked toward the office door when she noticed a shadow in that direction.

However, it was a quick glance before she looked away again. Nevertheless, she did a double take swiftly.

“Muzi?”

Han Muzi smiled faintly while nodding at her.

“Damn it! Are you trying to scare me to death? Why are you standing there without making a sound? When did you come back?!”

Han Muzi answered with a smile, “I’ve been standing here for a while, but I couldn’t bring myself to disturb you because you seemed to be obsessed with work.”

Yan answered incredulously, “Damn it! Since when was I obsessed with work? In case you can’t tell, I am so busy that I don’t have any free time. It’s great to be you; you’re not even trying to help when you’re here. I can’t believe you were just standing there looking at me work this whole time.”

“Fine.” Han Muzi walked toward Yan with a smile and tried comforting Yan. “I was just afraid I might distract you from work. That was why I kept quiet. How has it been for the past two days?”

“There’s been more and more clients coming over to sign on with our company. It’s most probably thanks to the exposure we had at the banquet previously. Besides, our existing clients recommended new ones to us as well. I think… if this goes on, you will have to hire an assistant because I’m barely hanging in there.”

Han Muzi pursed her lips while weighing her options. Then, she suggested straight away, “Why don’t you get yourself an assistant who can help you?”

“What do you mean?” Yan blinked several times while facing Han Muzi. “Are you planning to elope with President Ye and abandon me and the company?”

Han Muzi reached out and flicked Yan’s forehead when she heard that.

“What is going on in your mind? Wouldn’t it be easier on you when you handle things if you hire an assistant?”

“That’s how it works, technically. However, I am your assistant; would it make sense for me to hire an assistant of my own?”

Han Muzi smiled faintly. “In that case, why don’t I give you a promotion? Our company is now up and running well. Would you like a position in management?”

Yan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing that. “A position in management? I-I haven’t even had the time—“

“You’ve helped me throughout the years, and I trust your capabilities. In the future, you shall be the Vice President of the company. Apart from myself, you have the right to intervene in all company matters. But once you’re in a managerial position, you shouldn’t abandon your efforts in pursuing Qing.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 656

Yan cleared her throat when she heard that. “I already found an advisor. I won’t abandon my efforts.”

“That’s fine as long as you are confident. Don’t forget to post the job vacancy to the public and hire an assistant as soon as possible.”

“Mm-hmm, alright. The company is getting busier with time. I’m always swamped each time you leave. I think it’s best to hire an assistant.”

Once the two of them agreed on the issue, Han Muzi recalled the matter that was bothering her. She sat at her desk and stared at Yan while hesitating to speak her mind.

“What is up with you? Just spill if you have something to tell me. Please don’t sit there and glare at me like a resentful woman. Fortunately, I am a woman; otherwise, outsiders might think that I was a playboy who broke your heart.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by her response.

Yan tossed the pile of folders she was holding aside before pulling a chair up to sit beside Han Muzi.

“Tell me. What is bothering you? Why don’t you let me share your burden?”

Han Muzi glanced at Yan. “I haven’t figured out a way to tell you yet.”

Yan processed the incidents in the past few days before asking Han Muzi directly, “Are you guys together now?”

Despite her embarrassment, Han Muzi nodded while biting her lower lip. She was most probably feeling anxious because she blurted out after nodding, “Am I very silly? Previously, I’d made up my mind never to get back with him. After all, he hurt me deeply in the past… But I…”

Han Muzi lowered her eyes while looking as if she was eaten up by guilt. “I can’t seem to be able to control myself.”

The scene of Han Muzi lowering her eyes while looking sad and annoyed with herself tugged at Yan’s heartstrings. Hence, she grabbed Han Muzi’s hands and whispered, “What is wrong with that? No one can control how they feel. You can’t hide your feelings when you’re in love with a person. I know you are still in love with him for the past five years since I’ve been keeping you company. That is why I have been encouraging you to be with him. In all honesty, we are all the same. When you are truly in love with a person, you’d still charge ahead despite the obstacles and risks before you.”

Just like myself. I know clearly that Han Qing isn’t in love with me, and it’s impossible for him to fall for me. However, I just can’t let it go.

I also know that I would suffer less if I were to give up earlier.

However, I only have eyes for Han Qing, and I can’t stop thinking about him. It’s as if I see no one else but him.

Well, what should I do? Should I give up on him and live alone for the rest of my life?

I know clearly that since I’ve been in love with Han Qing for such a long time, I would never love someone else as much as I do him for the rest of my life. That is why… I have to work hard when there is still a chance.

Moths are attracted to the flames, despite knowing that death awaits them. They are still drawn to the flames regardless of its danger.

It is in their nature.

Just like how Muzi is in love with Ye Moxuan, and he is in love with her.

The both of them have not changed after five years.

This is destiny.

“To be honest, there’s something I didn’t tell you all these years,” Han Muzi blurted out after a long pause.

“What is it? Are you actually keeping something from me?”

In all honesty, others would not be surprised at all that Little Bean resembles Ye Moxuan, because from their point of view, Ye Moxuan and I have been husband and wife from the very beginning. To them, for me to be pregnant and give birth to a child after a divorce could only mean that Ye Moxuan is the child’s father.

However, I had no idea about this matter because Xueyou lied to me in the past. Hence, I’ve believed that the child was Ye Linhan’s all this while.

Besides, Ye Moxuan doesn’t even know about the incident of that rainy night. The irony is that the rest of the world knew that the child is ours, but we were oblivious to it.

Now that I know the truth, Ye Moxuan, the father, is the only one who is unaware of it.

“What is it? Say something!” Yan waved her hand in front of Han Muzi.

She snapped back to her senses and shook her head. “Ah, what was I saying just now? I forgot somehow.”

Yan was rendered speechless by her response.

I think I shouldn’t say anything. There’s no reason to explain since everyone knows that Little Bean is our child.

It’s best to keep such things to myself.

“Why are you so forgetful? It’s barely a second ago. Aren’t you planning on finishing your story?”

“Actually, I wanted to ask you if I were to allow both father and son to meet, should I… prepare some sort of ceremony for them?”

Yan hesitated before speaking, “If both father and son meet? Are you finally willing to let Little Bean meet Ye Moxuan? Are you not afraid anymore? That’s right, you are with him now. He wouldn’t snatch Little Bean away even if he were to meet him. However… have you discussed this with your brother?”

Han Qing.

He has always been against my being together with Ye Moxuan. Things happened too abruptly this time, and most decisions were made on a whim.

“Your brother treasures you like you are the most precious thing on earth. I think it’s best that you make time and talk to him about this. Otherwise… I’m afraid the two of you might end up arguing,” advised Yan worriedly.

Han Muzi bit her lower lip in response. “I haven’t figured out a way to tell him yet. Besides… I think I am free to choose the way I want to live my life. Even my parents wouldn’t possibly have so much control over such matters, would they?”

“In any case, your brother is still your family. Just look at how well he treats you.”

“I know that.” Han Muzi nodded. “I’ve been going along with everything he planned for me because he’s been so nice to me. However, I want to decide for myself now too. Yan, if you have the chance, I hope you can help me by dropping Qing hints too.”

The color drained from Yan’s face when she heard that. I’m already acting quite shamelessly by asking Little Bean to take me to look for Han Qing. If I were to mention this to him, wouldn’t I just incur his wrath?

“No way. I refuse to. I’m not helping you with this; you will have to find the chance to tell him yourself.”

“I knew you’d reject me. I’ll tell him when I have the chance, then.”

…

Simultaneously, on the other side of the city, Ye Moxuan did not head back to the conference room upon returning to his company. He wasn’t even angry when he heard from Xiao Su that everyone had dismissed themselves. On the contrary, he merely summoned everyone back to continue with the meeting.

However, Ye Moxuan started spacing out again once the meeting started.

Several old men started with a discussion that turned into a disagreement, which ended up in an intense argument.

This seemed to be the norm in their meetings these days. Ye Moxuan would simply turn a blind eye because once they were done with their arguments, he would just have to say his part.

However, at that moment, he was completely preoccupied by another matter altogether.

What present would be the best to give my son, whom I will be meeting soon?

Previously, I was just trying to paint a nice picture of myself when I boasted at the departure gate at the airport that I’ve already prepared for our son a present.

This is my first time as a father. I’ve never even met my child. How could I possibly know what to give him as a present?

I just didn’t want Muzi to know the truth when I was pretending to be mysterious.

Ye Moxuan felt his head throb when he thought of that, and he pursed his lips into a thin line.

“Young Master Ye, what are your thoughts regarding my earlier proposal?”

Ye Moxuan looked up at him and blurted out, “What do kids normally like?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 657

Everyone in the meeting was stunned to silence by Ye Moxuan’s sudden question.

Xiao Su, who was observing from the sidelines, was stumped as well. Then, he shot Ye Moxuan a panicked look before reminding him in a whisper, “Young Master Ye…”

One of the old men lifted his glasses and looked up at Ye Moxuan. “Young Master Ye, what did you say just now? Can you please repeat it? I didn’t catch that.”

Ye Moxuan was preoccupied with the question of what type of present to get his son, and so he answered without a second thought, “What do kids normally like?”

The majority of the people in the meeting were middle-aged men. The ones who were older even had several grandchildren, but they hadn’t reached the age for retirement.

They are mostly either fathers or grandfathers. They must know what children like since they have so many kids at home.

One of the middle-aged men exchanged glances with the person beside him, and they both saw the disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Did Young Master Ye just ask what do kids like in the middle of a meeting?

Why would he ask something that is irrelevant to work? They were all experienced people who had faced all sorts of challenges in the business world, after all.

After they exchanged glances for a while, some of them immediately responded.

One of them asked, “Young Master Ye, are you looking for a gift for a child?”

“Mm-hmm.” Ye Moxuan nodded, and his lips were pressed into a thin line. He had a deep scowl across his face too.

“Young Master Ye, I am familiar with this issue. Children usually like cute things. You can’t go wrong if you buy adorable things for them.”

“Cute?” Ye Moxuan was confused, and he squinted at him. “For instance?”

“For example, some plush toys or dolls. Besides, you can even buy some building blocks too. There is a huge variety of models nowadays. My wife often buys them for my daughter.”

Ye Moxuan kept quiet upon his answer. Daughter.

I suddenly feel as though it might be nice to have a daughter too. However… Muzi’s child is a boy.

“Hang on, we haven’t even asked in detail. Why are you making suggestions blindly?”

Everyone wanted to contribute something since Ye Moxuan seemed to be showing interest in this matter. Suddenly, everyone in the conference room seemed to be fawning over him.

“Young Master Ye, if I may, are you buying a gift for a boy or girl? There’s a huge difference between what girls and boys like. It wouldn’t be nice if you give them the wrong gift.”

“Mm-hmm,” Ye Moxuan agreed with a nod. “It’s a boy.”

“You might want to consider model toys as gifts if it’s a boy.”

Model toys?

I’m not unfamiliar with that term. However… do children play with that sort of thing?

“I’m referring to model toys which have children-friendly designs. Boys are slightly naughtier and cheekier than girls are after all, and they like different things than girls. You could get him game consoles, sports cars, or something of the sort.”

“Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye! In our family, we would always buy…”

The group of people started chipping in and provided him with tons of examples. Ye Moxuan scowled at all the suggestions, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.

After a while, he called out suddenly, “Xiao Su.”

“Yes?” Xiao Su answered automatically to his name despite feeling slightly astonished.

Nevertheless, he got up from his seat and approached Ye Moxuan swiftly.

“Young Master Ye, what can I do for you?”

Ye Moxuan glanced at him and instructed, “Jot down everything they mentioned.”

Xiao Su was at a loss for words when he heard that.

“Assistant Xiao, I mentioned this just now…”

The group of people started chattering again while scrambling to be the first to present Xiao Su with their suggestions. They were all in a conference room for the higher-ups, but they were now acting like women buying food supplies from a market.

Furthermore, Xiao Su was quite convinced that he had never heard of these things. In the end, he tried his best to jot down each toy’s name.

Once he was done doing that, Xiao Su handed the page of notes to Ye Moxuan.

“Young Master Ye, I wrote them all down.”

Ye Moxuan nodded in satisfaction while regarding the page of notes.

“Mm-hmm, make a list and buy everything from the list.”

Xiao Su spoke, “Are you sure you want to buy them? Young Master Ye, you are—“

“Is there a problem if I want to buy a gift for my son?” he asked coldly while cocking a brow at Xiao Su.

Xiao Su’s lips quivered, as if he heard something huge.

“Is there a problem?” Ye Moxuan’s eyes gleamed with displeasure.

Xiao Su shook his head. “No problem at all. I will get it ready immediately. I should purchase everything here, I believe? Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it!”

Xiao Su thought it was ridiculous to purchase everything because there were many similar things on the list; the only difference was their names. However, he couldn’t go against Ye Moxuan’s direct command.

After the meeting was adjourned, the group of people started a discussion in hushed tones at the elevator.

“What is up with Young Master Ye for the past two days?”

“That’s right! I’ve been wondering the same thing. He hasn’t been in the company recently, and when he got back, he left once he received a phone call. Why did he even ask what kids like? Do you think that he might be buying a gift for his own son, since he claims that he’s buying a present for a child?”

Someone hesitated before answering, “That’s impossible. When did you hear that Young Master Ye has a son?”

“Uh, maybe he’s buying a gift for his relative’s child?”

“I’ve never heard of anyone being close to Young Master Ye though…”

“Could he actually have a son?”

They exchanged meaningful glances with each other. Hence, when they saw Xiao Su walking past them, they chased after him. “Assistant Xiao, what is up with Young Master Ye for the past few days? Forget about him being absent from the company frequently; he can’t even stay in a meeting that is in progress.”

“That’s right. Ye Group is a huge company; Young Master Ye can’t be planning to abandon it, can he?”

Xiao Su stopped dead in his tracks when he heard that, and he turned to face them with a helpless expression.

“You said it yourself that Ye Group is a huge company, so how could Young Master Ye abandon it? Besides, there haven’t been any problems in Ye Group’s operations, have there?”

Everyone nodded instinctively when they heard that.

“There haven’t been any problems, indeed.”

“Assistant Xiao, we are not questioning Young Master Ye’s capabilities. We are just gossiping. Does Young Master Ye have a son?”

Xiao Su was rendered speechless by the sudden question. He pursed his lips while scanning the crowd with a calm expression. “Why don’t you ask him if you are so curious about it?”

That person scratched his head embarrassedly. How would I have the courage to ask Young Master Ye? I’d most probably only ask him that question if I had a death wish.

“Since you do not have the courage to ask him, please don’t ask me too. I’m scared of the same things you guys are afraid of!” With that, Xiao Su stormed off into the elevator.

The doors of the elevator closed before the group of people could snap back to their senses. Hence, Xiao Su was all alone in the elevator, and he mumbled to himself while staring at the elevator wall, “Why would you ask me? I don’t know much anyway. Besides, I wouldn’t tell you even if I knew anything. Who would have guessed… that the group of old men love to gossip as well?”

Xiao Su bought everything from the list according to Ye Moxuan’s instructions. However, after buying them all, he realized in horror that everything wouldn’t fit into his car.

Thus, he had no choice but to engage a courier service to send everything directly to Ye Moxuan’s house.

Ye Moxuan had a blank expression when he saw the huge pile of things.

“Is this all?”

Xiao Su nodded before gulping reflexively. “They are all here. What would you like to do with them, Young Master Ye?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 658

The corners of Ye Moxuan’s lips twitched involuntarily when he saw the pile of toys in front of him. Everyone was so enthusiastic about these toys; I didn’t expect them to be such childish things.

His brow shot up slightly in disbelief.

Do children like such things?

Ye Moxuan had never been a father before, and so he had no idea what kids liked. Hence, he bought everything suggested by the group. He was hoping that even if the child didn’t like one of the toys, he’d have other options as well.

Furthermore, he is still a child, and he should have a simple mind after all. Forget about whether he’s interested in these things; he’d most probably be delighted to see the pile of presents.

Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but smile when he imagined how his child might react upon seeing all his effort.

Xiao Su didn’t receive a reply from Ye Moxuan; instead, he noticed an eerie smile across his face. The smile belonged to a father, and it was no doubt a norm for a kind and loving father.

However, it looked especially eerie when that particular smile was etched across Ye Moxuan’s face.

However, Xiao Su did not have the courage to voice his opinion, and so he kept his eyes lowered while staring at the pile of presents.

I might not know what’s going on, but… whatever Young Master Ye is doing right now is most probably associated with Second Young Lady.

…

Han Muzi went to pick Little Bean up from school. However, she saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the school. He was leaning against the wall with a white shirt on, and he looked especially thin.

However, his handsome face attracted many women’s attention.

When Han Muzi saw him, she recalled the scene where he was beaten up by Ye Moxuan a few days ago. There was even blood trickling down the corner of his lips at that time.

I wonder… if he was severely injured.

I hadn’t seen him in the past few days. I have no idea how he is at all.

School was not over yet, and everyone was waiting for school to end. It was as if Ye Linhan had some sort of sixth sense because he turned to look at her when she got out of the car.

His gaze focused on her face for a while before he looked away. After a while, he made his way slowly toward Han Muzi.

She stood rooted on the spot until he was standing right in front of her. Then, she looked up at him.

She wasn’t aware of how bad it was, but when she looked up, Han Muzi was shocked because Ye Linhan had blotches of green and purple across his face. The injuries looked bad; despite that, it did not take away his dashing looks.

Did… Ye Moxuan beat him up so badly the other day?

Ye Linhan flashed her a bitter smile when he saw the surprise in her gaze.

“There’s still ten minutes before school ends. It’s inconvenient to chat here. Can you come to the side with me?”

Han Muzi fell silent.

She scanned the surroundings and saw a rather secluded spot. Then, she pointed before stating, “Let’s talk over there.”

Then, she led the way, whereas Ye Linhan followed her from behind.

“I’m very sorry about what happened the other day.” Han Muzi apologized to Ye Linhan once she stopped at a spot. “I didn’t know that he would be there, and that was why you got beaten up. I’m so sorry.”

“Are you apologizing to me?” Ye Linhan stared at her, and his bitter smile looked especially miserable, coupled with his injuries. Han Muzi couldn’t bear to meet his gaze, and so she looked away.

“He was the one who hit me. Does that mean you’ve accepted him since you are apologizing on his behalf?”

Han Muzi remained silent while biting her lower lip. She recalled Ye Linhan’s confession from before, but she still wasn’t sure if he was sincere or just putting up an act.

After all, I heard what Ye Moxuan had to say, and I am still slightly suspicious of Ye Linhan.

I still feel as though he is approaching me to target Ye Moxuan.

In any case, I should clear things up with him since he has confessed his feelings for me.

Hence, Han Muzi nodded.

A tightly-wound cord in Ye Linhan’s mind snapped in that instant, and the fire that was burning brightly in his eyes collapsed on itself. After that, he grabbed onto Han Muzi’s shoulders suddenly.

“Why? Why did you choose to be with him after going through so much? How is he better than I am? Have you forgotten what he did to you in the past?”

Han Muzi was scared witless by Ye Linhan’s sudden violent outburst. Her shoulders were in excruciating pain under his claw-like grip. The anger in his tone and viciousness in his gaze were utterly different from his usual gentle and mild appearance.

Han Muzi had never seen this side of Ye Linhan before, and she was so scared that she turned ghostly pale.

“W-What are you doing?”

“What am I doing?” Ye Linhan asked with a bitter laugh. “What do you think I have left to do? I’ve waited for you for such a long time, but you wouldn’t even spare me a glance. He did so much to hurt you, but here you are, going back to him so easily.”

Han Muzi bit her lower lip. “I-I’m in love with him.”

“In love?” Ye Linhan’s gaze lost focus for a while. Han Muzi took the chance and shoved him away, but he snapped back to his senses almost immediately.

Then, he grabbed onto her shoulders tightly again.

“Tell me! What do you love about him? Why did I lose to him? Tell me! I’ll change for you!”

Han Muzi frowned while trying to push Ye Linhan away, and she explained, “This is not the issue of you losing to him. My being in love with him has nothing to do with you. Previously, I’ve always regarded you as an older brother when I was with him. Even though a long time has passed, I still treat you as an older brother. I would never—”

“But I was never your older brother to begin with!” Ye Linhan cut her off in an agitated tone. “If you treated me as an older brother, why did you reject me when I wanted to help you in the past? Can’t you treat me as a man? He has hurt you so much, but you went back to him willingly. What about me? Can’t you even spare me a bit of pity?”

Han Muzi answered steadily, “Love is not pity, and it can’t be spared nor shared.”

Ye Linhan looked tortured, and he appeared as if he was suffering immemsely.

However, Han Muzi felt nothing but fear. She tried struggling to break free from him, and the next thing she knew, Ye Linhan had slumped onto the ground with a loud thud.

Han Muzi was about to leave when she heard a loud thud. After she turned around, she realized Ye Linhan was lying on the ground, and something didn’t seem right with him. There was cold sweat across his forehead.

She was stumped for a while, but she snapped back to her senses and crouched beside Ye Linhan. “What is wrong?”

Ye Linhan’s face was distorted in pain while he lay on the ground. He couldn’t utter a word, but he was sweating buckets. However, he managed to open his eyes, and he held her hand weakly.

“D-Don’t be with him. He will never treat you well… Never…”

“What is going on with you? You should stop talking. I’ll call an ambulance for you.”

Han Muzi took her phone out and dialed 911. After stating her location to the ambulance, Han Muzi realized with a start that Ye Linhan’s face was even paler than before.

Why is this happening?

What is happening?

Han Muzi started panicking at that point.

“Hang in there. The ambulance will arrive anytime now.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 659

Ye Linhan grabbed her hand. He appeared weak and frail, but he was adamant when he said, “No, I’m not going to the hospital.”

“Why wouldn’t you go to the hospital when you’re in such bad shape?” Han Muzi had no idea what was wrong with him, but she could clearly tell that he was in excruciating pain just from the cold sweat beaded across his forehead and his pale face.

However, Ye Linhan stared at her unwaveringly while smiling weakly.

“You will not be worried about me just like how you are right now once I get into the ambulance. That is why… I’d rather die of pain right here than to go to the hospital.”

Han Muzi exclaimed in exasperation, “Are you insane? You are already in so much pain!”

“I’m not insane.” Ye Linhan held onto her hands tightly. His eyes reflected even more suffering than that on his face. “I just want a chance for myself. Why… Why can’t you just spare me a look? If you say I am insane, so be it.”

Seeing him like this, Han Muzi felt guilty. After all, she was the reason he was beaten up by Ye Moxuan. I do think that Ye Moxuan was too reckless, but…

In conclusion, I am feeling extremely flustered now.

She wanted to pull her hands away, but Ye Linhan was holding onto her tightly. She couldn’t bring herself to push him away since he looked so weak; besides, it made her feel like a bad person. Hence, she had no choice but to console him, “You should stop speaking now. The ambulance is arriving soon.”

Han Muzi scanned her surroundings and checked their location on her phone before stating, “I remember the nearest hospital isn’t too far away from here. They should arrive in another eight minutes.”

She asked Ye Linhan while looking at him, “Where do you feel uncomfortable? Describe to me now so that I’d be able to inform the doctor later.”

However, Ye Linhan merely stared at her in silence. Although he appeared ghostly pale due to the pain, he seemed to be oblivious to his condition.

Why is this happening? Han Muzi felt very troubled. “Ye Linhan, you need to go to the hospital when you are not feeling well. Do you think you would recover miraculously without going to the hospital? I can’t help you up if you faint later.”

Ye Linhan’s gaze became slightly unfocused after staring at her for a while, then he broke into a grin suddenly. “Will you come with me if I were to go to the hospital later?”

Han Muzi hesitated before answering him, “I need to pick Little Bean up. You—“

He shut his eyes in resignation while laughing bitterly.

“True enough, no one would even know if someone like me were to die in a hospital.”

Seeing how he was acting, Han Muzi gritted her teeth and reassured him, “Little Bean should be heading out after the arrival of the ambulance. I’ll head to the hospital to visit you after sending him back home. Or… I will phone your company staff to keep them—“

“Alright, then. I will wait for you in the hospital.”

Han Muzi couldn’t bring herself to say anything else since he had cut her off, and so she waited beside him nervously for the ambulance. The ambulance had yet to arrive when Little Bean walked out of the school, and when he saw his mommy, Little Bean dashed toward Han Muzi straight away.

“Mommy!”

“Little Bean.” Han Muzi waved at him. Little Bean made his way to her and nuzzled against her. Then, he looked at Ye Linhan, who looked very pale as he sat on the ground while leaning against the wall.

“Eh? What happened to Mr. Ye?”

“Mr. Ye isn’t feeling well. I’m waiting for the ambulance. Can you wait a little while for me?”

Little Bean nodded obediently. “Of course. I will keep you company while we wait, mommy.”

“Alright. Thank you, Little Bean.”

Han Muzi was glad that Little Bean was such an understanding child.

Ye Linhan was leaning against the wall with an exhausted expression. When he heard Little Bean’s voice, he opened his eyes gradually. Then, he forced a smile when he met Little Bean’s clear, black eyes.

“I see you’re here, Little Bean…”

“Mr. Ye, good day to you,” Little Bean greeted him with a bow.

“I’m so sorry. I’m afraid… I can’t take you for a good meal today.”

“No worries, Mr. Ye.” Little Bean blinked several times innocently. After that, he reassured Ye Linhan, “Mr. Ye, you aren’t feeling well. You should close your eyes and rest. Mommy and I will keep you company until the ambulance arrives.”

Ye Linhan stared at Little Bean, who closely resembled Ye Moxuan. I know that Ye Moxuan has strong feelings for Han Muzi, and he is dead-set on having her.

I would not stand a chance at all if Ye Moxuan sees Little Bean, who is his spitting image!

Ye Linhan shut his eyes again once he thought of that. After a while, he asked Little Bean with much difficulty, “I’m in a lot of pain now. Can you and your mommy… accompany me to the hospital?”

“But…”

“I don’t have any family, and it’s too lonely in the hospital.”

He laughed bitterly, and since his eyes were closed, they couldn’t see the emotions he was hiding.

It is truly unbearable to lie to such a naïve and innocent child.

However, what choice do I have? Han Muzi is unmoved, and so I have no choice but to target this child.

He is a child after all, and I’ve given him what he wanted in the past. Besides, he greets me each time he sees me; I suppose he would be more soft-hearted compared to his mommy.

However, Ye Linhan had underestimated Little Bean.

Although Little Bean was a five-year-old child, he wasn’t the average boy. His wisdom, abilities and intelligence were different from those of his peers.

Little Bean blinked and glanced at his mommy before rejecting Ye Linhan in a serious tone. “Mr. Ye, do you not have any family? I recall you have your own company. Mommy, why don’t you phone someone from Mr. Ye’s company? Mr. Ye said that it’s too lonely in the hospital.”

Hmph! Is he trying to get mommy and me to accompany him? No way.

I might not dislike Ye Linhan, but I wouldn’t allow it if he’s trying to break daddy and mommy apart.

Ye Linhan opened his eyes to look at the child in front of him. Little Bean was staring unblinkingly at Ye Linhan, and the little boy’s eyes were clear and untainted.

However, the boy’s gaze sent chills down Ye Linhan’s spine for some reason.

Somehow, I feel as if this child is able to see through my mind.

Was it just an illusion?

Ye Linhan was still in shock, but at that moment, he heard the ambulance’s siren approaching them and getting closer.

“The ambulance is here.”

Very soon, the ambulance stopped at the roadside, and the paramedics carried Ye Linhan into the vehicle. Ye Linhan stared at Han Muzi unblinkingly until right before he entered the ambulance, and his lips parted.

“Don’t… forget what you promised me, Muzi.”

“Aren’t your family members coming along?” The nurse shot Han Muzi and Little Bean a strange look before shutting the doors.

Han Muzi snapped back to her senses, and just when she was about to answer the nurse, Little Bean, who was standing beside her, answered on her behalf, “Miss Nurse, we aren’t this Mister’s family members. My mommy noticed that he wasn’t feeling well, and that was why she called an ambulance for him.”

“Huh?” The nurse looked embarrassed. “I see. In that case, thank you so much.”

“No worries. I’m leaving with my mommy now.”

Han Muzi was about to say something, but Little Bean held her hand and walked to the side. The nurse looked at the little boy’s back and lamented, “Are kids nowadays all so good looking?”

 

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 660

Bang!

It wasn’t until the ambulance closed its doors and drove away when Han Muzi turned around to look at Little Bean, who was standing beside her.

“What is up with you?”

“Huh? What is it, mommy?” Little Bean looked up at Han Muzi with innocent eyes, and he appeared especially kind and naïve.

Upon looking at the innocent Little Bean, Han Muzi was puzzled. However, he was her son after all, and she knew him well.

She crouched down to pinch Little Bean’s cheeks.

“Did you… do that on purpose just now?”

“Mommy, what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“Don’t play dumb with me. Why did you tell the nurse that we don’t know him? You even ate the cake he bought you. Why were you acting as if you don’t know him just now?”

“Mommy!” Little Bean pouted. “When did I act as if I didn’t know him? I merely told Miss Nurse that Mr. Ye is not our family! Is that wrong? Hmph! Mommy, tell me! Is Mr. Ye our family? I am not wrong! Why did you accuse me, mommy?”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his reaction.

She recalled the incident and realized that Little Bean did not claim that he did not know Ye Linhan, indeed. He merely stated that Ye Linhan wasn’t their family member.

Well, it’s undeniable that it is the truth.

He sounded so reasonable that she did not have a comeback.

“Mommy, tell me! Was I wrong?”

Han Muzi snapped back to reality while gazing at Little Bean, who was right in front of her. Then, she shook her head helplessly. “You did not say anything wrong, but the nurse didn’t know that. She thought that you didn’t know Mr. Ye at all. Just think of it… Wouldn’t Mr. Ye feel sad if he heard that?”

“He might be sad,” answered Little Bean after a short pause.

“In that case, why did you say that?”

“However, he really is not related to me. Why should I care if he is sad or not?”

Han Muzi was stumped by his answer.

She truly did not expect her own son’s thoughts to be completely different from hers. Han Muzi realized with a start that she was completely at a loss for words.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Little Bean swung her arm back and forth. “You promised me you’d find a daddy for me. I just want my daddy; I don’t want Mr. Ye.”

He looked adorable when he said that, and it was almost impossible to reject him when he had such a sad and pitiful look.

“Soon, soon.” Han Muzi sighed as she caressed his head. “I promised I’d find you your daddy, and I’ll keep that promise.”

“Really?” Little Bean looked excited. “In that case, when can I see daddy? You’re so bad, mommy! You were not quick with your actions, and that was why I’ve been waiting miserably.”

“I know it’s my fault, but I will do my best. I will let you see your daddy once I figured things out, alright?”

“Sure! However, mommy, Aunty Yan mentioned that she is picking me up. Where is she?”

At that, they heard a sudden cry of surprise.

“Little Bean, Muzi! Why are you both here?”

The two of them turned to the voice, and they saw Yan running toward them.

“Yan, haven’t you gone home yet?”

“Aunty Yan!”

“Cough, cough…” Yan cleared her throat when she saw Han Muzi. “I thought you went out with you-know-who. I didn’t expect you to be here. However… you aren’t allowed to snatch Little Bean away from me because I have an arrangement with him. I’m taking him to see Han Qing this afternoon.”

“See Han Qing?” Han Muzi was astonished, but she smiled in realization. “Is this the advisor you were referring to?”

Yan was blushing furiously, but she nodded honestly in the end.

“With his relationship with Han Qing, he’s the most suited to act as my advisor.”

Since that was her reason, Han Muzi had no choice but to stand up and hand Little Bean to Yan. “Fine. I’ll return your advisor to you. Please take him home earlier tonight. Don’t stay out too late.

“I know; I’ll keep that in mind!”

Little Bean thought of something suddenly before leaving.

“Mommy, are you planning to visit Mr. Ye in the hospital?”

“Mr. Ye?” Yan was oblivious to what happened earlier, and so she looked bewildered. “Who is Mr. Ye?”

Ye? A name came to Yan’s mind swiftly, and she looked toward Han Muzi, as if asking for confirmation through her gaze.

Han Muzi nodded slightly before turning toward Little Bean.

“Mr. Ye is a person after all, so I have to visit him in the hospital. I will be quick about it.”

“What about the issue of finding daddy?”

Han Muzi looked troubled, and so Yan dragged Little Bean away. “That’s an adult matter. Why are you trying to get involved as a child? Your mommy knows that to do. You are still a child, and so you shouldn’t worry about it. Quick, come with me to see your Uncle Qing.”

With that, Yan picked Little Bean up and turned around to leave.

Yan had Little Bean in her arms, but his face was still turned toward Han Muzi. His dark and marble-like eyes stared unblinkingly at Han Muzi, so much so that she turned away because she felt guilty.

After the two of them left, Han Muzi cleared her throat before getting a cab, and then she went straight to the hospital.

He collapsed right in front of me. Even as a business partner, I should check on him. On the way to the hospital. Han Muzi phoned Manager Yi from before.

Manager Yi immediately asked the name of the hospital when he learned that Ye Linhan was ill.

By the time she arrived, Han Muzi saw Manager Yi already waiting at the entrance.

“Manager Yi.”

“Miss Han!” Manager Yi rushed toward her upon seeing her. “I rushed here immediately when I heard that Vice President Han was admitted to the hospital. Is he alright?”

Han Muzi shook her head. “I’m not too sure. He should have arrived not too long ago. Let’s head in and find out.”

“Sure.”

The two of them entered the hospital, and after they found out where Ye Linhan was, they rushed toward his ward.

Han Muzi’s phone started ringing on the way there.

She took her phone out and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Ye Moxuan’s name across her phone screen. Manager Yi asked when he saw her standing still, “Miss Han?”

“I’m sorry, I need to take this. Manager Yi, please go ahead.”

At that, Han Muzi dashed toward the side to answer the call. Since the hospital was bustling with people, she had no choice but to find a slightly secluded area to answer the phone call.

“Hello?”

“Where did you go?” Ye Moxuan’s voice sounded relaxed, but Han Muzi was still slightly shocked. She cleared her throat before answering him, “I-I’m on my way home.”

“You’re on your way home?” Ye Moxuan paused. “In that case, I’ll wait for you.”

“What do you mean?” Han Muzi asked.

“I’m at the entrance of your house.”

Han Muzi nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard that.

When did he go to my house? Why is he at the entrance of my house at this hour?

“Didn’t I tell you that I haven’t figured things out? Why did you—”

“What are you so scared about? Won’t I be meeting him sooner or later? Besides, I’ve prepared some gifts for our son.”

Han Muzi gulped instinctively and bit her lower lip.

“But I’m not home yet.”

“How long will you take?”

How long will I take? She turned to glance at Manager Yi, who was in front of her, before biting her lip. “20 minutes or so.”
