Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 661
“20 minutes?” Ye Moxuan’s discontent was obvious in his tone. Then, Han Muzi quickly explained herself. “I’m passing by a supermarket, so I wanted to buy something here. Since you are already at the entrance of my unit, can’t you just wait for a while?”
“Which supermarket? I’ll fetch you.”
“No need!” Han Muzi rejected his offer in panic. If I let him come over to fetch me, wouldn’t he find out about it? Han Muzi took a deep breath to calm herself down. “You don’t need to come and fetch me. I’m just buying a few things, so it’ll be fast. You can go back home first if you’re tired of waiting. I’ll find you later in the night.”
After she finished talking, the other side of the phone went silent for a long while before he finally agreed. “Fine.”
As soon as the call ended, Han Muzi let out a huge sigh of relief while holding on to her chest. Her heart was accelerating at high speed. If I tell too many lies, will I feel all the guilt after? However, at this point, how could she dare to tell Ye Moxuan the truth? According to his temperament, he would rush over with no questions asked if she told him that she was at the hospital. By then, things would be a whole lot complicated when he realized that she was here to see Ye Linhan.
Although she knew she shouldn’t come to visit Ye Linhan, her heart wasn’t cruel enough to stop her. That was why she reminded herself to go back immediately after asking the doctor for confirmation on whether his life was in danger.
“Miss Han, you still have work at this time?” Manager Yi couldn’t help but ask her after she came over.
Listening to him, Han Muzi gave him a glance. “No. It’s family business. What is it?”
“Nothing. I assumed that you had unfinished work at this time, so I felt a bit sorry for asking you to come over.” Manager Yi smiled, then he couldn’t hold back his words. “By the way, Miss Han, do you have a boyfriend?”
Han Muzi was silent for a while before she replied, “Manager Yi, don’t you think your question is a little weird?”
“Huh?”
“The situation of your Vice President Ye is still unknown at this time, and you are asking such a question. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
Han Muzi’s eyes were sharp, and it sent a shiver down his spine while he broke out in a cold sweat. Manager Yi smiled awkwardly afterward while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. “Hehe, I… was just trying to make small talk with you, Miss Han, but I didn’t know what to say. Miss Han, if you’re offended by my words, then I won’t say things like that again. I’m so sorry.”
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi retracted her eyes and diverted it toward the ward in front.
The surrounding sank into an awkward silence while Manager Yi glanced at the side of Han Muzi’s expressionless face, but he didn’t dare to speak. They could only keep on waiting like that. After some time, the doctor finally came out. “Which of you is the patient’s family?”
Han Muzi stood stationary while Manager Yi went up to him after stalling for a second. “Hello, doctor. I’m the patient’s friend. His family is not here, so you can just tell us everything.”
“The patient suffered from acute gastroenteritis, but he is fine now. We just need to observe him for a while, and if he doesn’t show any other symptoms, it’ll be fine for him to leave the hospital at night. Young people like him should be more wary of their diet.”
“Okay. Thank you, doctor. I will pass on your words to him.”
After the doctor was gone, Manager Yi took the first step toward the ward but realized that no one was following him from behind. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Han Muzi. “Miss Han, aren’t you coming in?”
She let out a faint smile. “Since he is already fine, then I won’t go in.”
“Uhh…”
“You can take over now, Manager Yi. Take good care of your Vice President Ye. I have other things to do at home, so I’ll be leaving now.” Afterward, Han Muzi left straight away without waiting for his reaction.
Han Muzi departed the hospital without even stopping. After she left, she immediately called a cab and gave the driver her address, then she took out her phone to have a look at the contact records.
She found out that 15 minutes had passed since her last call with Ye Moxuan. If she hurried back now, it would take at least another 15 minutes. Sigh, I really should have asked for more time just now. But if I asked for too much time, Ye Moxuan would be suspicious of me. But now, I can’t get back in time.
Han Muzi retracted her sight and looked toward the driver. “Sir, can you go any faster? I’m in a hurry.”
The driver became discontent with her. “Young people like you only know how to go fast and never take note of safety. It is peak hour at this point in time. How can I go as fast as you want me to be?”
“I’m sorry. I know it’s a little difficult for you, but I still hope that you can be as fast as possible. Please.” Han Muzi looked toward the driver while showing a pleading gesture. The driver squinted at her, then he retracted his eyes. “I will try to go as fast as possible, but I can’t assure you that if there’s traffic.”
As someone once said, ‘when ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers’. This was what it meant.
She was in a hurry to get back but was met with traffic ahead, and to make things worse, it was during peak hour. The road was heavily congested with cars as Han Muzi looked at the situation worryingly. As she watched the time fly by a second at a time, she didn’t know how to explain it to Ye Moxuan later.
“Sir, how long will this traffic last?”
“It’s hard to put a finger on it. This is a serious congestion. Sometimes it would take half an hour, but sometimes it would even take an hour; both are possible. However, we are not too far behind the jam, so maybe we can slowly nudge over this.”
Slowly nudge over this. There wasn’t much time left, so Han Muzi looked at her phone and sent a text over to Ye Moxuan. ‘I can’t get back for the moment. Can you wait for me a while longer?’
As soon as the text was sent, she got a phone call. Han Muzi felt a real headache when she saw the name—Ye Moxuan—on her phone. Then, she braced herself and answered the call.
“Where are you? Why aren’t you back yet?” Ye Moxuan’s voice was low, and it seemed as though he was upset about the long wait.
Han Muzi bit her lower lip and blinked her eyes. “I-I’m stuck in traffic…”
“Aren’t you at the supermarket below? Why would there be traffic?”
Han Muzi choked on her breath since she didn’t know how to answer him.
Both parties went silent for a while, and Ye Moxuan sensed that something was wrong, so he spoke in a deep voice, “Where are you now? Tell me your location, and I’ll come over to pick you up.”
Han Muzi remained silent for a second before replying to him, “I’m stuck in traffic. There’s no use for you to pick me up. Your car can’t reach here.”
Ye Moxuan took a deep breath. “You really have a way of winding me up, Muzi.”
“Don’t be mad. Why don’t I get off the cab now and walk back?” As Han Muzi was speaking, she was already preparing to get a move on until Ye Moxuan rebuked, “How can you walk with so many cars around? Sit back quietly.”
Her movements stopped accordingly while she felt a bit of grievance in her heart. “Then what should I do now?”
“What can you do?” Ye Moxuan asked resignedly. “Wait for the traffic to pass. I’ll wait for you downstairs at the entrance.”
Listening to his words, Han Muzi suddenly felt bad. She bit on her lower lip as she didn’t know what else to say. After ending the call, she was even more flustered. I was lying, and he doesn’t know anything about it.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 662
Not only that, he also bought gifts. He’s just standing there waiting while I’m… As Han Muzi thought about the scene, she started to feel bad. She bit on her lower lip while she thought on whether to tell Ye Moxuan the truth when meeting him later.
But… what will happen if I tell him? According to his temperament, will he suddenly get mad and ignore me after? Han Muzi felt a headache as she rubbed her forehead with a helpless face.
“Was that call from your boyfriend?” The driver glanced at her while trying to have a chat with her.
Han Muzi didn’t have the drive anymore, so she nodded listlessly.
“I can see that your boyfriend is pretty concerned about you, but we can’t do anything about this traffic.”
“Yes.”
Han Muzi really didn’t have the drive to talk to him, so the driver didn’t bother her again. The car slowly moved forward while stopping intermittently, which made her feel impatient. Subsequently, she leaned on the door to rest her eyes.
After some time, she actually fell asleep, but she was later woken up by the driver’s voice. “We’re almost there.”
Han Muzi had a look outside the window and realized the buildings around were starting to look familiar. She then rubbed her eyes and saw that it was dark around. The car then moved forward smoothly as it gradually approached the residential community.
Far away, she could see a tall and handsome figure standing right at the gate, drawing a lot of attention.
It was already dead in the night, so the street lamps by the entrance were lit. That figure was standing not far from the gate while his shadow was extended by the street lamps. The dim yellow lights cast a layer of brightness on Ye Moxuan while also giving his silhouette an even more gentle look.
As Han Muzi was witnessing the scene, she suddenly felt a twinge in her nose.
She pursed her lips while waiting for the car to stop. After that, she opened the car door and walked toward Ye Moxuan.
Hearing a commotion, the side of the handsome man’s face twitched before he turned his head in her direction.
After seeing her, a glimmer appeared in his once black eyes. Before Han Muzi could come up to him, Ye Moxuan had already walked to her front, and he held on to her slightly cold hands.
“Ye—” Han Muzi could only say a word before being dragged inside the community area by Ye Moxuan. She couldn’t react in time, but mostly because of the guilt in her heart, she could only follow him from behind. She then lowered her head to look at their steps and shadows while her mind drifted.
When they entered the elevator, Ye Moxuan didn’t say anything to her as he stood there with a stern face. Han Muzi could feel the frosty aura he was emmiting, and also… anger. She then bit her lower lip while allowing him to grab tight on her arm because she didn’t know what else to say.
Until they came out of the elevator with Han Muzi being dragged out by him, she couldn’t hold back anymore and lifted her head. “Ye Moxuan, I—”
Before she could finish, the man in front of him turned over and pinned her against the wall behind, then he came pressing down. “Umm…” Han Muzi’s vision went black while her lips were sealed.
Ye Moxuan’s unhesitantly landed his kiss on her. His burning lips kept on pressing on hers as his huge hand locked on to her fine waist while the other was pinching her chin to pry her lips apart.
After Han Muzi returned to her senses, she whimpered while trying to push him away. Nevertheless, it was better to stay stationary because her slight movements triggered Ye Moxuan to press his body down even further. She could feel her back being squeezed while her thin shirt wasn’t able to block her from the coldness of the wall.
There was a huge contrast between the coldness behind her and heat in front. The man’s kiss was violent and assertive, which invaded her to a point where she had nowhere to hide.
A while later, he slowly backed his lips away and was panting heavily against her forehead. His breath and cold eyes made him look like a ferocious panther. “I’ll give you a chance to come clean. Where did you go?”
Han Muzi felt the pain of his kiss on her lips. After being asked by him, she instantly lowered her eyes in guilt. Actually, she wanted to come clean with him, but before she could even talk, she was dragged upstairs by him and pressed against the wall to kiss.
Before she said anything, he was already filled with rage. If I actually say the truth, will he… kill me for it? Thinking about it, Han Muzi was dispirited as she didn’t dare to resist Ye Moxuan.
“Are you going to tell me?” Ye Moxuan exerted more force on her chin. Although it was strong, it didn’t hurt at all. However, it was enough to lift Han Muzi’s head. There was still a sense of loss in the eyes of the woman he just kissed while her red lips bulged. He ate up most of her lipstick, but there were still some left on the corners of her lips, which made her look even more charming.
Han Muzi stared at him blankly. “Will you be mad if I tell you?”
Ye Moxuan paused and spoke in a husky voice, “It depends.”
It depends… Which means he may still get angry. Han Muzi grinded her teeth and pleaded softly, “I will tell you if you promise me that you won’t get mad.”
Listening to her words, Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes with dangerous intent as he raised his eyebrows toward the woman in front of him. “Are you threatening me?”
“Can you promise me?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. Han Muzi would rarely look at him with this kind of expression. There was already a sense of loss in it, but now, there was also a sense of imploring and carefulness, paired with her face that looked as if she was afraid of offending him. That expression and look…
Ye Moxuan gulped as his voice became even more hoarse. “Fine. I promise you.” He was willing to give up his life for her, so there was nothing he couldn’t promise her.
“You really promise me?” Han Muzi couldn’t believe him, so she double-confirmed. “Then don’t be mad when I tell you. I… met Ye Linhan…”
Upon the mention of that name, Han Muzi felt the temperature of the man in front of her drop.
She quickly reminded him, “You said that you wouldn’t get angry. Don’t break your promise.”
Hearing her words, Ye Moxuan could only calm himself down and glance at her. “Then what happened?”
“Then… he looked sick, so I called the ambulance and sent him to the hospital.”
At this point, Ye Moxuan was so angry that he smiled sarcastically. “So you accompanied him to the hospital?”
She shook her head in panic. “I didn’t accompany him. I called a cab and followed from behind. After all, he collapsed in front of me. I couldn’t do nothing, could I? But I can assure you that if it was a stranger who collapsed on the ground today, I would’ve still visited him at the hospital, never mind…”
Speaking of this, she hesitated for a second. Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes. “Never mind what?”
“Never mind him, whom I know. If I didn’t even go to have a look at him, then… that wouldn’t be nice, right?”
“You’re nobody to him. Even if you didn’t visit him, he still couldn’t hold it against you. Nobody has the right to judge you for it.”
“But I actually saw him collapsing in front of me. I just couldn’t leave him alone. Can you understand my intentions?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 663
Ye Moxuan remained silent as his pitch black eyes stared deeply into hers.
In his eyes, Han Muzi could feel her heart slowly sinking. She didn’t want to say it out, but he forced her to. I’ve said it now. He promised me that he wouldn’t get mad, but his eyes right now… It’s obvious that he doesn’t trust me.
Han Muzi felt annoyed inside, and she gave him a vicious glare before turning away to leave.
However, after walking two steps, her wrist was again held back by Ye Moxuan. Her rage burst out. “Let me go!”
His imposing figure dashed toward her and pressed her against the door. “What? You had me waiting for you the whole day while you went out to see another man. Can’t I be jealous about that?”
Han Muzi replied to him loudly, “You’ve promised me just now that you wouldn’t be mad.”
“Have I scolded you? Have I thrown my temper on you?” Ye Moxuan rebuked her coldly.
Han Muzi stayed silent afterward. All of a sudden, she froze in place as she glanced toward Ye Moxuan’s ice-cold face. She felt aggrieved while her previous rising guilt faded away at this moment. Now, what remained was… extreme grievance. She bit on her lower lip, and her eyes started to turn red.
A while later, she lowered her eyes and resigned. “Yes, you didn’t get angry at me, and you didn’t scold me. It was me who was unreasonable, alright? Now that we’re done, can I go in the house?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless while he gazed at her drooping eyes. What was only lacking from her was a sign on her head which read ‘grievance’, and it made him feel very much resigned inside. In reality, he was the one being cast away to wait at the gate for her for such a long time like an idiot. After hearing that she was at the supermarket, he ordered people to move the gifts into her house first, then he went there to find her. At the end, he couldn’t find anyone, and she told him after that she actually went to the hospital. Not only that, she went there to see another man—the man who still had intentions toward her, no less.
He closed his eyes, and all of a sudden, he reached out to hug her violently with great force. “Ugh…” Before she could shove him away, she heard the grinding sound of Ye Moxuan’s teeth coming to her ear. “Just put all the blame on me, alright? I shouldn’t have made sarcastic comments to you; I shouldn’t have come early to wait for you; most of all, I shouldn’t have looked for you at the supermarket multiple times like an idiot after you said that you would come back. I was worried that something had happened to you again…”
She stopped her hand from pushing his chest while she froze on the spot with bulging red lips. She couldn’t find a word to say. “You… went to look for me at the supermarket?” He didn’t answer her. “But didn’t I ask you… to wait for me for a little while?”
“How can I rest assured?”
Han Muzi didn’t reply to him. Forget it. What am I doing arguing with him? Even though he was sarcastic toward her, it was still because he cared about her and was jealous. If he was emotionless, or even indifferent, toward what she just said, then that would really enrage her.
As she thought about it, Han Muzi said to him annoyingly, “Forget it. I’m too lazy to argue with you. Why were you waiting for me?”
“Gifts.” There was discontentment in the man’s voice.
“What gifts?” Han Muzi was confused since this man went to her doorstep waiting for her right after getting off work. What has he prepared for Little Bean?
“You’ll know it when we go in.” Ye Moxuan held her hand to the doorstep before pressing the familiar password.
Seeing this scene, Han Muzi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You went in again while I wasn’t at home?”
“I remembered the password, and I couldn’t forget it.”
Creak. The door opened, and Ye Moxuan dragged Han Muzi inside.
After going in, she was still sulky when she bent over to change her shoes at the entrance. However, after she raised her head while preparing to enter, she abruptly stopped her steps as she stared in awe at the scene in front of her.
What… is this? Have I entered the wrong place? Why are there so many toy cars and models piled up in front of me? The stacks of toys blurred her vision.
“What’s this?” She couldn’t recover from the shock as she was still stunned.
Ye Moxuan walked to her side while remaining silent.
Han Muzi stared at the stuff in front of her for a long while until she came back around and looked toward Ye Moxuan. “When you mentioned the gifts just now, you meant this?”
That was why he suddenly waited for me at my doorstep. It was to give Little Bean his gifts? But Little Bean… went out with Yan today.
“Yes.” His eyes darkened as he scanned the surrounding. “Where’s my son?” he asked.
Han Muzi pursed her lips and glared at him. “He hasn’t acknowledged you yet, so stop flattering yourself. Besides… he may not like all these, even though you’ve bought a lot.”
Listening to her, Ye Moxuan’s expression changed while he looked at her with his eyebrows raised. “He may not like this?” After asking her, he seemed to start panicking. “I’ve never met a child before, so… I don’t know what gifts he likes. You—”
“Forget it.” Han Muzi shook her head. “First, we need to place all of these gifts by the side. How could you just pile it all here after buying so much? I can’t even walk past it.”
He gazed at the pile of stuff before his eyes and realized that she was right. The whole living room was stuffed with gifts to a point where they couldn’t even go upstairs. He twitched his lips and said, “We’ll move away half of it and leave the other half as is.”
“Leave the other half as is?” Han Muzi widened her eyes. “What are we leaving the other half for?”
“These gifts were carefully prepared by me for my son. What would he get when he comes back if I move away all of it?”
Han Muzi went speechless. Hearing his intentions, does he plan to stay here for the night? Is it likely?
Han Muzi bit on her lower lip since she still wasn’t prepared for this. What will happen when the two identical people meet? Will Little Bean and Ye Moxuan be shocked on how identical they look? How will I explain to them later? It’s so frustrating!
While she was worried about the situation, Ye Moxuan had already called someone over to move the toys, and soon after, the workers came in to move the stuff. After half of it was moved away, the air of the surrounding was finally flowing again. Han Muzi felt that the air was better, then she had a look at the remaining toys and ordered the workers, “Move another half of it away. We’ll only keep a few of them.”
The workers followed Ye Moxuan’s orders, so after hearing Han Muzi’s instruction, they couldn’t help but look toward him to ask for his view.
Ye Moxuan had a look at her and realized that she was gazing at him while blinking her calm and beautiful eyes. These eyes… Ye Moxuan gulped before instructing them in a husky voice, “Do as she said.”
“Yes, Young Master Ye.” Subsequently, the workers moved away half of the remaining gifts while leaving only a few pieces.
“Are you sure this isn’t too few? What if my son isn’t impressed, and he disowns me?”
Han Muzi was left speechless before she comforted him, “Don’t worry. He won’t disown you.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 664
Just by the looks, he will know that you’re his dad.
“How do you know?” All of a sudden, Ye Moxuan thought of something important and dragged Han Muzi to the sofa after the workers left. He had a serious expression on his face. “Have you told him of my existence?”
Have I told him? I only told him that I would find him a daddy. However, according to Ye Moxuan’s question, he’s asking whether I actually told Little Bean about him. I don’t know whether I did.
Ye Moxuan could see the answer through her expression as his expression fell. “You didn’t even mention me, huh?”
“I—”
“Am I really that unimportant in your heart?”
“Ye Moxuan, I—”
“Am I not even worth mentioning?”
“Can you just let me say something?” Han Muzi snapped.
He sat there with a stern face while he fixed his eyes on Han Muzi. His eyes were so sharp that she didn’t know for a moment how to explain to him. “What do you want to say? You can spit it out now.”
“I’ve mentioned to Little Bean… about finding his daddy, but—”
“But you never said that that person would be me, right?”
“No!” Han Muzi cut him off. “Ye Moxuan, can you not have such a bad temperament? I’m already with you now, and you’re still this fierce to me?”
After being reminded by her, Ye Moxuan relaxed his mind. She is right. She’s already with me now, so why am I being fierce to her? It doesn’t matter if she told him or not; he will become my son anyway, and he’ll have to call me daddy.
Thinking about it, he pursed his thin lips and uttered, “Fine. I’m not going to be fierce to you, but I’m staying for the night. I’ll be here waiting for my son to open his gifts when he comes back.”
Han Muzi widened her eyes. “Are you really staying? Didn’t you promise to give me more time?”
“I promised to give you three days, and today’s already half over. Do you really don’t want me to meet him that much?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“Then let me stay.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless as she looked at him hesitantly for a while before she stood up. “If you want to stay, then stay. I don’t want to bother anymore.”
After she finished speaking, she went straight past Ye Moxuan and up the stairs to prepare for a bath since she figured Yan wouldn’t be back this early.
As soon as she went into her room, she couldn’t restrain her flustered heart anymore, so she took out her phone to call Yan.
She didn’t know of Yan’s current progress at Han Qing’s side, so she wanted to ask her when she would be back. Han Muzi felt that she wasn’t ready yet.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
There was a sudden joy on Han Muzi’s face as the call connected. However, the moment she wanted to speak, her waist was suddenly seized by someone from the back. Immediately, her neck could feel the steaming breath of the man. She didn’t need to turn her head to know that Ye Moxuan was holding her waist at this time while he placed his chin on her shoulder.
“Hello?” Yan’s voice was heard coming out of the phone.
Han Muzi blinked as she replied to her dumbly. Then, she didn’t know what else to say. All the words that she wanted to say suddenly got stuck in her throat after Ye Moxuan’s approach.
“Muzi? Why are you calling me? What’s up?” Yan’s voice was low, as if she lowered it on purpose. Other than that, there were also sounds of people talking in the background, so it was obvious that it was inconvenient for her to talk now.
Han Muzi pressed her lips while her eyes drifted. “N-Nothing. Nothing’s up.”
“Oh, I thought you had something to tell me. If there isn’t anything, then I’ll end the call.”
As Yan was about to hang up, Han Muzi suddenly let out a scream. The sudden scare caused Yan to tighten her grip on her phone reflexively as she asked her nervously, “What’s wrong?”
Han Muzi was flustered as she tried to push away Ye Moxuan’s hand. The bastard actually pulled up her shirt and reached his hand inside while she wasn’t noticing. It gave her a good scare.
“N-Nothing,” Han Muzi answered while pushing away his hand.
However, how could she ever compete with Ye Moxuan’s strength? Not only was she unable to push his hand away, it even prompted him to advance further. Not long after, Han Muzi’s breathing became a mess.
Yan hadn’t ended the call as she was listening to Han Muzi’s side of the phone while holding on to her breath. “Are you really alright?” she asked suspiciously.
“I-I’m fine.” Her voice seemed to be trembling. Han Muzi was afraid that Yan might suspect her, so she answered, “I just want to remind you not to be too late and come back early—”
Before she could finish, she quickly bit on her lower lip, almost letting out another scream.
“Heh…” The man’s dark seductive giggle was heard from behind, and Han Muzi’s ears were heating up just by listening to it. If he doesn’t stop soon, I would embarrass myself in front of Yan.
Without giving it a second thought, Han Muzi immediately ended the call, then Ye Moxuan took the phone and placed it on the desk beside them. Later on, both her hands were grabbed by him as he pressed her against the dressing table.
He pushed forward while looking at her lips with his sharp eyes. “If it weren’t for me coming up to you, you would have kept my son away again, right?”
Han Muzi was trying to avoid his eyes out of guilt. “I didn’t—”
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips came close to her. “You’re denying it? Then explain yourself. What were you trying to do by making the call? Huh?”
He kept on speaking, but his hand didn’t stop. Han Muzi was so tortured by him that she couldn’t get her mind straight anymore while her heart trembled. “Y-You heard it just now, didn’t you? I was asking her to come back early. I wasn’t—”
“Was it because I’m here?” Ye Moxuan let out a chuckle, and he bit on her fair chin as a punishment. Due to her fair and delicate skin, a red teeth mark was quickly formed on her chin.
Ye Moxuan glanced at the teeth mark, then he felt a sense of sympathy and affection for her. After looking at it for a while, he lowered his head to kiss her. “You woman, there really isn’t anyone crueler than you. Fortunately, I was careful enough, or else I wouldn’t be able to see my son tonight.”
“It hurts!” Han Muzi resisted him by trying to push him away.
Both her arms were caught by Ye Moxuan as he squinted at her. “Then you need to remember not to push me away like this ever again.”
Han Muzi—who was bit on the chin and had her hand held on by him—was now in an embarrassing state; her clothes were ruffled while she was being pressed against the dressing table, feeling extremely annoyed. “Fine. I’ll remember… Let me go now. They may be back soon.” However, he didn’t move. “Ye Moxuan?” After she pushed him again, Ye Moxuan suddenly lifted his head while his black eyes were burning with lust, which was fearful to see. “D-Do you want—”
“Yes.” Ye Moxuan nodded his head honestly. “It’s too boring to just wait. Why don’t we do something productive?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. What did he mean by productive? She only wanted to escape, so she pretended she didn’t hear the words he said. As she shoved him to get away, her legs were suddenly dangling in the air while she was carried up by someone.
“It’s too late for you to escape now.”
“Ye Moxuan!” Han Muzi felt the world in front of her rotate as she was now pressed against the soft bed. Her expression changed out of fright while she hurriedly pushed him. “T-The door isn’t locked…”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 665
What if Little Bean and Yan suddenly come back and see us after opening the door? Where can I put my face after that?
“Don’t worry,” Ye Moxuan whispered in her ear. “I locked the door when I came in.”
Han Muzi remained silent. Surely this is his true intention when he entered the house, right?
“Ye Moxuan, you b*stard—mmph!” Ye Moxuan swallowed her last few words while she glared at him with her bell-like eyes. With the man a few inches in front of her, she could see the malicious smile hanging by his lips.
“This is your punishment for lying to me today. I need you to remember this the next time. If you look for him again in the future, I will punish you one more time; if you look for him a second time, then I will double your punishment to four times. Do you hear me?”
“You—ugh, b*stard!” Han Muzi could feel the anger on her chest as she gradually lost her strength. Then, her whole body turned into a ball of cotton while being trapped in his arms.
…
When Yan brought Little Bean back home, it was already late. As they were about to enter the house, Yan noticed a pair of men’s leather shoes lying on the porch.
She staggered for a second before looking into the house. It was quiet inside as though no one was there. However, a few boxes were lying in the living room, and Little Bean went over to them after taking off his shoes.
After Yan came back around, she hurriedly took off her shoes and went over. “What are these? They look like… children’s toys.” Yan had a glance at it and realized that they were all kid’s toys, which added further weight to her guess.
The pair of men’s shoes at the entrance seemed to be of good quality leather, so it couldn’t be owned by any regular person. Other than that, Han Muzi wouldn’t bring anyone else, except Ye Moxuan, to her house. But the lower floor is empty. Are they upstairs?
As she thought about this, she had a look at the floor above before placing down her bag to walk upstairs. Little Bean found it curious, so he followed her up too.
In the end, before they got any closer, Yan heard a strange sound. When she realized what it was, she immediately turned over to Little Bean and covered his ears, thereafter she dragged him downstairs.
Little Bean looked at her with an innocent face. “Aunt Yan?”
Yan composed herself and brought him over to the gifts. “Come. Let’s open these first. Then, we’ll go up.”
“Why?” Little Bean frowned as he looked at the kid’s toys in front of him. “I don’t even like these, and they aren’t ours. Why are we opening it?”
Listening to him, Yan giggled. “What makes you think they aren’t yours? They’re all placed here in our house, and you’re the only kid here. Are you expecting them to be for your mommy and me?”
“I guess so.” Little Bean nodded and thought of something else. “But who gave these to me?”
Who gave these to you? Yan remembered the sound she heard from upstairs and placed her hand on her forehead helplessly. These two people are terrifying. They knew that Little Bean and I would be back, yet they chose to make love upstairs. How awful is that? Aren’t they afraid of corrupting the kid?
“This, you need to ask your mommy.” Yan winked at him and smiled. “Maybe, you will have a daddy soon.”
“A daddy?” Little Bean stood still for a moment before suddenly turning away to go up the stairs. Yan’s expression changed drastically afterward. “Hey, where are you going?”
He stopped in his tracks while putting on an innocent face. “I’m going to find my daddy.”
“No!” Yan walked over and dragged him down the stairs. “We’ll open the gifts first. Then, we’ll find your daddy afterward.”
“But why? Are these gifts given to me by daddy? I need to ask for his permission before opening it.”
“Now is not the time.”
“But why, Aunt Yan?”
Yan couldn’t stand it anymore. Han Muzi, why do I have to handle this mess for you? How can I say right to his innocent face not to disturb his daddy and mommy while they are trying to make him a little sister? Kill me. I can’t say these words.
Yan gave it a thought and changed her words. “We just got back from a meal outside, so there is a smell all over you. Let me bring you to your room for a bath first and sweeten you up before we go meet your daddy. Alright?”
Little Bean nodded after thinking about it. Then, Yan brought him upstairs while covering his ears. In the end, Yan let out a sigh of relief after sending him into the bathroom.
She knew that it wasn’t nice to disturb others, but Little Bean was here after all, so she braced herself and locked the door before walking up to the front of Han Muzi’s room.
She didn’t knock on the door right away, but she leaned against the door, sneakily trying to eavesdrop. There wasn’t any sound in the room, and Yan blinked. Is it over now?
As she was about to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened.
Since Yan was leaning against the door, she lost her balance in an instant when the door was opened. Following that, she fell forward, and the figure, who was standing in front of her, gently drifted aside while she fell on the icy cold floor.
“Ah! It hurts.” Yan couldn’t help but exclaim in pain. She felt that her face was almost broken, but after moaning about it, she could feel the weird atmosphere around her. She lifted her head and saw Han Muzi staring at her with a blushed face while huddling under the blanket.
“Yan, what…” She was embarrassed since she didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to put on his clothes straight away and open the door before she even got properly dressed.
Seeing Han Muzi at this moment, Yan quickly diverted her eyes away toward Ye Moxuan. As she was now lying on the floor, when she lifted her head, Ye Moxuan was there staring at her from above with eyes as sharp as a hawk. His eyes felt like they were shooting arrows at her.
Yan’s face quickly turned pale. Later on, she got up hurriedly while ignoring the pain and forced herself out. “Sorry for interrupting!” After she said this, Yan closed the door shut for Ye Moxuan while avoiding his cold sight.
Bang! As soon as the door was closed, Yan turned and ran away. She had already shown her face anyway, so Han Muzi should know that she had brought Little Bean back. Yan did not care about anything else at the moment.
When Yan got back to her room, she could hear the splashing sound coming from the bathroom as Little Bean was still showering. She thought of his face, which was identical to Ye Moxuan’s. It is clear that they look alike, but why does Little Bean look so cute while Ye Moxuan is so terrifying?
Yan rubbed her cheeks while thinking about Ye Moxuan’s murderous eyes just now. This made her shiver with fear.
The moment Han Muzi saw Yan, she knew immediately that she had brought Little Bean back, and her expression changed. After Yan was gone, she came out of the blanket without any reservations and quickly put on her clothes. At the same time, she told Ye Moxuan, “Are you all dressed up now? It’s already late. Why don’t you head back home first?”
Ye Moxuan crossed his hands in front of his chest and stared at her while being lost in his thoughts. “I already said that I want to stay.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 666
Han Muzi stopped as she was putting on her clothes, and she raised her eyes to have a look at Ye Moxuan.
His expression was serious. It didn’t feel like he was joking; instead, it appeared that he was determined to stay. His face stated clearly that he wouldn’t be going anywhere if he didn’t see his son tonight.
Yan is already back. Will Ye Moxuan bump into Little Bean if he goes out? As she thought about it, her heartbeat accelerated while she buttoned up her shirt and quickly brushed her messy hair. Then, she walked to the front of Ye Moxuan. “Put your clothes on. I will go and give him an ideological education first. You go back to your house and wait for me.”
As she finished, she immediately pushed him outside the door without waiting for his reply.
Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but frown at her actions, so he asked her while going outside, “What ideological education?”
“Aren’t you afraid of him disowning you?” She had already pushed him to the side of the door. Then, she quickly opened it and shoved him out. “Quick. Go downstairs,” Han Muzi urged him while he leaned against the stairs. His enormous physique was motionless, as though he was trying her patience.
“I’ve said that I won’t be leaving. If you want to get rid of me, why don’t you push me down from here?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. “Are you crazy?” She grinded her teeth while some part of her was still worried. If it wasn’t for fear, she wouldn’t have gotten up at this time.
Ye Moxuan stared at her with his pitch-black eyes. No one could tell if there were countless emotions in it or not. “Muzi, I’m not crazy.” A while later, Han Muzi heard his calm voice. “I’ve said it on the way to the airport that I want to be the father of your child. It must… be fulfilled today. You can’t stop me no matter what you do.”
Han Muzi stood rooted to the spot while her red lips twitched, but she didn’t know what to say since she was helpless. Is there no other way of stopping this? I have kept Little Bean hidden for so long. Is he really going to see his daddy today? What will Ye Moxuan’s reaction be like?
She bit on her lower lips with her eyes closed. Finally, it seemed like she tacitly agreed to his action, and she spoke to him in a low voice, “Come into the room with me and tidy up your clothes.”
He knew that she had given up resisting and had approved tacitly, so he followed her into the room.
After coming into the room, Ye Moxuan tidied up his clothes, but Han Muzi came to him with an iron and said. “Your shirt is wrinkled. Take it off.”
Without giving it a second thought, he took off his white shirt and gave it to her.
Then, Han Muzi found a spot to iron his shirt for him.
Every time she saw Ye Moxuan, his clothes were always tidy and without any wrinkles, whether it was a shirt or suit, but after… that incident, his clothes had become crumpled. Perhaps out of her own guilt, or maybe she was trying to help Ye Moxuan leave a good impression when meeting with Little Bean, she helped him to iron it out.
She looked focused when ironing his shirt. Under the gentle light, as she was bending her waist, a few strains of her hair drooped to conceal a portion of her eyes, making her look even more tender.
Seeing Han Muzi this way, Ye Moxuan felt that his heart was suddenly stuffed with balls of cotton while it turned his insides soft.
As soon as she was done, she handed over the shirt to Ye Moxuan and helped him put on his tie. She was as gentle as an angel from heaven when doing all of these.
As Ye Moxuan kept on staring at her quietly, a sudden affection for her flashed through his black eyes. All of a sudden, he couldn’t help but hug her while she was halfway through tying the tie.
“What are you doing?” Han Muzi was stunned as she tried to push him away. “It wasn’t easy for me to iron out all the wrinkles on your shirt. Don’t crumple it again.”
Then, Ye Moxuan stepped back. “I won’t disappoint you, alright?”
“What?”
“I will take good care of you two forever. I will treat the two of you as my closest people in the world.”
Han Muzi felt a bit surprised. Why is he suddenly making a pledge? “You’re so touched just because I ironed your shirt?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless before he pinched on to her cheek and said resignedly, “Don’t you know how to be romantic? Why do you have to ruin the atmosphere now?”
“I think you’d better keep these words to yourself until you meet Little Bean. I hope you won’t be too shocked about it.” She finished with his tie and went on tidying herself up.
Ten minutes later, Han Muzi opened the door and brought Ye Moxuan downstairs. “You wait here. I’ll… go and see where Little Bean is at.”
He should be in Yan’s room. As Han Muzi thought about it, she went up to call Little Bean down.
When she opened the door, she found that Yan was applying a facial mask. “Eh? Muzi?”
Han Muzi looked around, but she couldn’t find Little Bean anywhere. “Where is he?”
“He?” Yan blinked. “Who is he?”
“Little Bean. Didn’t you bring him back just now?”
When Little Bean was mentioned, Yan thought about it and nodded. “I did bring him back. He just had his bath and went downstairs already. Didn’t you see him?”
Han Muzi was left speechless. “H-He went downstairs?”
Seeing her face, Yan felt that something was wrong. “What is it? Didn’t you see him downstairs? I remember now. I think he said that he wanted to wash some fruits in the kitchen… to serve the guest or something…”
Both of them went silent after.
Downstairs.
Little Bean was wiggling his bottom while searching inside the fridge for a long time. Finally, he finished washing a plate of fruits. When the child came out of the kitchen with the plate of fruit, he happened to see a figure in the living room.
Ye Moxuan was sitting on the sofa as his eyes and expressions showed his unrest. I’m just… meeting a kid. What am I nervous about? Even if his identity is special, he is still a five-year-old. How is it possible that an adult like me won’t be able to handle him? For the first time, Ye Moxuan felt unprepared. What can I say when I meet him later? What should I call him? I think I’ve heard Muzi call him Little Bean before. Little Bean, is it? It sounds like… a cute name.
Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan suddenly stood up as he was still a little nervous. His brows furrowed as he felt that he shouldn’t be this troubled about it, so he sat back down.
Then, he tapped the table top with his finger tips, but the rhythm of it was unstable. There was a lot going on in his black eyes, and finally, he took out his phone to ask the middle-aged men in the company’s WeChat group.
Ye Moxuan: ‘What should I say first when meeting a kid for the first time?’
It was probably late at that time, so the group was quiet, and nobody replied.
Ye Moxuan was starting to become frustrated as he was impatient of waiting. Less than five seconds later, he retrieved his text and locked the screen of the phone before putting it away in his pocket.
Why isn’t Muzi down yet? Is she… trying to send him away again? As Ye Moxuan thought about it, his expression changed. The tall and well-built man stood up, preparing to go upstairs and find Han Muzi.
As soon as Ye Moxuan turned his body, his eyes unintentionally fell on Little Bean, who was standing right there while holding a plate of fruits. His height didn’t even reach his knees.
Just a look at him felt like a thunderstrike on Ye Moxuan as he stood there dumbfoundedly.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 667
The five year old kid stood there, carrying a plate of fruits, but this was not the point. The point was that despite the faint sharpness in the little brat’s eyes, his entire frame—including his eyes, nose and lips—made Ye Moxuan feel as if he was looking at a mirror. The kid in front of him resembled a mini version of himself.
His heart shrank as he looked at the kid’s face, which was identical to his, before his mind stopped functioning.
On the other hand, the little brat was also stunned when he saw Ye Moxuan. His dark iris was not obscured by any debris, which made it easier to see the confusion in the little brat’s eyes after seeing him.
The little brat regained his composure and moved toward him. Each step that the boy took felt like a step on Ye Moxuan’s heart, but he did not realize that his fingers trembled at the same time too.
Little Bean now stood in front of him and saw that Ye Moxuan’s face was pale. Geez, why is Daddy useless? He looks at me as if he is seeing a ghost. Oh no, does he really think that I’m a ghost?
Little Bean placed the plate on the table, but accidentally knocked the porcelain plate against the table. He then stuck a couple of toothpicks into pieces of fruits and lifted his head to look at Ye Moxuan. “Would you like some fruits?” Little Bean’s adorable face only made him even more innocent and harmless.
The tall man squatted before he gradually reached out toward Little Bean’s white and tender face. “You…”
This face… Why is it so identical to mine? It looks as if it was carved out from mine. All of his nervousness faded in that instant after he saw the face in front of him and what remained was his astonishment.
“Little Bean!” A lady’s voice suddenly shouted followed by Han Muzi rushing down the stairs. When she reached the living room, she was greeted with the scene of Little Bean and Ye Moxuan together.
The little one held an apple to eat and biting sounds came out of his mouth whereas the big one had almost bent his waist with his trembling hand almost touching Little Bean’s face.
Have… they already met? Han Muzi’s velvet lips trembled as her mind went numb. What… should I do now?
Yan realized that her face did not look right, so she left her facial mask on while she went downstairs. As she digested what she saw in front of her, it left her so shocked that the mask almost fell off her face.
How did the biological father and son meet up so soon? There weren’t any warnings about this. When she saw Han Muzi standing there dumbfounded, Yan instinctively went up to her and dragged her aside by grabbing her arm.
“Yan, I…” Han Muzi felt at a loss when she reached out for Yan’s arm and her eyes also drifted away.
“I know that you’re nervous, but I don’t think that you should go up to them now.” Yan tore the facial mask away from her face and sighed. “Little Bean is such a smart kid. I’m sure he would be able to handle the situation. Why don’t I bring you up for you to calm down?”
Calm down? Han Muzi’s feeling was in a peculiar state, but she could not put her finger into it. One thing was sure; her feelings were so complicated that she could not calm down. But what can I say if I go up to them?
“Let’s go.” Yan dragged Han Muzi up the stairs. Silence was finally restored in the living room. Yet, the adult and the child were there. The adult maintained the same posture as before while the kid showed his indifference and even shoved a fruit into his mouth.
Even after a moment of silence, his hand still hadn’t reached his face. He slowly retracted it instead and tried to speak, noting the faint quiver in his voice. “Y-You are called Little Bean?”
Little Bean looked at him and blinked his eyes. “Yes.” As he nodded, Ye Moxuan felt a huge thump in his heart as if something exploded inside of him. This is Muzi’s child. He is the Little Bean that she has always talked about. After he saw the child’s face again, he could almost determine one thing…
Suddenly, he grabbed hold of Little Bean’s tiny wrist and squinted at him. “Who is your daddy?”
The once subtle atmosphere was destroyed at this moment when Little Bean lifted his head to show his innocent face. “I don’t have a daddy.”
Ye Moxuan felt his breathing stopped. “You… don’t have a daddy? Then you…”
“Mommy said that Daddy is dead already.” As Ye Moxuan glanced at the boy’s face, which was identical to his, he felt blood spilling out of his mouth.
“What do you mean by ‘he’s dead’?” That woman, is this how she used to curse me back then?
“I have never seen my daddy in my life. Doesn’t that mean he’s dead?”
He stepped closer to him with eyes that were sharper than arrows. “Then, do you find that my face is similar to yours?” The two faces were a few inches apart from each other. If it had not been for the facial size, nobody would have been able to identify who was who.
Little Bean shoved another piece of apple into his mouth and bit on it.
Ye Moxuan remained silent, constraining his excitement. “Can you not eat at this time, please?”
“Oh. No, I can’t.” Little Bean quickly declined his request as he smiled. “I love to eat fruits.” After he finished eating, he picked up another piece of fruit and stuffed it into Ye Moxuan’s mouth.
This startled Ye Moxuan when the kid’s soft palm scraped past his tough chin as he stuffed the apple into his mouth. He then bit on it; the sweet and sour taste of the fruit burst open inside his mouth and stimulated his taste buds. An idea gradually formed in his mind while he looked at the child in front of him.
“Mister, is it delicious?” Little Bean asked with a smile after Ye Moxuan ate the apple.
“Mister?” Ye Moxuan slightly squinted his eyes and his voice became husky. “Don’t call me ‘Mister’.”
Little Bean blinked at him while chomping on some fruit. “Then what should I call you?” he asked curiously.
Ye Moxuan was not anxious when he locked eyes with the child and slowly raised his hand to touch his face. Then, he took a step back and hugged the kid with trembling arms.
“Mister?” The little brat sounded more confused.
Ye Moxuan had his eyes closed and probably did not realize that his eyelashes slightly trembled. Afterward, he placed a hand on the back of the little brat’s head as his own eyes burned with tears and his voice became deeper with emotion. “Don’t call me ‘Mister’. Call me Daddy.”
That damn woman. How could she… hide this from me for so long? No wonder… No wonder she never allowed me to investigate her background. No wonder she never wants me to know about the existence of this child. No wonder she always gets agitated and her eyes would flash whenever I mention about the child. So this is why… So this is why!!! The child she carried is actually mine! Little Bean is indeed my child! Muzi, you’ve really destroyed me by hiding him from me!
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 668
At the moment, in the room, it was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Han Muzi sat alone on the sofa, all curled up like a dead corpse. Meanwhile, Yan sat beside her and looked troubled. She kept quiet as she feared that her own emotions would be affected if she spoke about it.
They had no idea about the situation that occurred downstairs, but a long period of time had since passed. They heard nothing suspicious and wanted to have a look, but also feared that the scene would be awkward with them being there.
Yan sat still as minutes ticked away. As she felt that her limbs went numb, she gave in to the temptation and stood up. “Why don’t I go down and have a look?”
She had taken two steps when Han Muzi broke the silence. “Don’t you go.”
“Muzi?” Yan looked at her confusingly. “You should be the one curious about the situation. We have been here for a while now. Don’t you want to know how they are handling it?”
Han Muzi did not say anything while she faintly nodded. She did not need to know how Ye Moxuan and Little Bean mingled with each other because she could already guess it. It was impossible for him not to figure things out, especially when Little Bean’s face resembled his.
She only thought about what Ye Moxuan would do after he realized the truth and the fact that she had kept this hidden from him for over five years. Will he be mad at me? Will he hate me?
Yan grinded her teeth when she saw that Han Muzi did not move an inch. “I’ll go down and have a look. Don’t stop me.”
“Yan!” she screamed, which made Yan stop and look back at her. “It’s late now. You should go back to your room and apply your mask before taking a bath and sleep. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“But you—”
“Relax. I know my limits and how to handle this.”
“Muzi!”
“Go back!” Han Muzi insisted with a stern face.
Yan had never seen her behave in such a manner with her before. It was obvious from her eyes that Han Muzi did not want her to interfere with the situation. If she did not know better, she would have thought that she was angry with her.
“Fine. I won’t interfere and I won’t care about you all. I’ll head back to my room now and rest.” Yan left right after she finished speaking.
After she left, Han Muzi retreated into the sofa with her eyes closed.
A slight sound then came from the door, causing Han Muzi to feel helpless as she thought that it was Yan coming back. “Didn’t I tell you that I can handle this by myself? Go back to sleep and stop irritating me!”
There was no reply from the person outside, which made her think that Yan left again. It felt weird when she thought about it. Yan was aware of her temperament, so she would not return right after Han Muzi was stern with her. Then what was that sound from the door?
A startled Han Muzi opened her eyes and looked toward the door. A tall and slim figure stood by the door and gazed at her with burning eyes. Ye Moxuan.
Her lips twitched when she saw that it was Ye Moxuan. She rose from the sofa instinctively and returned his gaze. Both of their eyes met, but no one spoke a word.
She, however, saw that there was something different in his eyes. The dark eyes were now filled with helplessness, disappointment and a mixture of other emotions. She was secretly fearful of those eyes, but she feigned calmness on the surface as she forced a smile on her face and walked toward Ye Moxuan.
While she walked right up to him, his eyes gazed forward as if he had never looked at her face to face before.
Han Muzi’s heart ached at the sight of this, but she chose to smile and ask, “Is Little Bean still downstairs? I’ll check up on him.” Once she was done, she was like a general who wanted to run away in defeat.
Ye Moxuan suddenly raised his arm to block her from leaving as she walked past him. Staring at the pair of arms in front of her, she stood still and patiently waited.
As she walked past him, Ye Moxuan suddenly raised his arm to block her from going forward. Looking at the arm in front of her, Han Muzi could only stand still and wait quietly.
“Is this the reason why you always refused to let me see him?” he finally spoke after some time. His voice was a bit husky, which made it hard for him to speak.
Her heart turned bitter as she remained speechless while pressing her lips.
“You already knew about this?” he asked another question and Han Muzi had nowhere to hide. “When we were abroad, were you testing me by asking those questions? Did you know about it then?”
She bit her lower lip, but still did not reply to him.
“Heh…” Ye Moxuan chuckled. It was filled with sarcasm and self-mockery. “You didn’t let me investigate you and I promised. So, this is the reason why. Five years. You hid the truth from me for five whole years. And you still plan to hide it from me until now, right?”
Ye Moxuan suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist. It packed such a force to it that her hand almost broke in half. Han Muzi groaned at the pain as he pressed her against the cold wall beside them. “Do you think this is fun? Ensuring that everyone else knows about this while I’m kept in the dark like an idiot?”
“It’s not like that!”
“It’s not like that? I’ve been kept in the dark for five whole years. If I didn’t choose to find you, are you planning on never seeing me again and hiding with my son? Are you thinking of hiding the truth from me for my whole life?”
He started to become irrational, but she understood where he came from. Before they reconciled, she was worried that he would snatch the child away from her, but now that they were together, she was also worried that he would be disappointed and angry at her. As expected, he really is disappointed.
She saw the man in front of her clutching her hand tightly that she began to feel the pain from his grip. “It’s painful. Let me go first. I…”
“So you do understand the feeling of pain then?” Ye Moxuan asked ironically. “Then how do you think I feel?”
Han Muzi frowned. “I know that your heart isn’t feeling well, but I didn’t hide him from you on purpose. Let me go first and I’ll explain it to you, alright?”
He kept silent—neither denying nor agreeing with her—and only stared at her. He gradually loosened his grip on her hand a while later. She rubbed her wrist in an attempt to soothe the pain while she bit her lower lip and lifted her head to look at him.
“I only want to know the answer to a question.”
“Say it.”
“Does Han Qing and Ye Linhan know about this?”
Listening to him, Han Muzi felt the sudden thump in her heart as she wondered why he asked the question. It did not take her long to react to it. Is he trying to compete with Ye Linhan? She then glanced at him with hesitation in her eyes.
Moments later, she spoke softly, “I don’t want to lie to you. In short, Ye Linhan… also knows about it.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 669
After all, Ye Linhan had seen Little Bean at the supermarket before. Considering that he was an intelligent man, he would have figured out the truth with ease. He had even hired a private investigator to do a background check on her, so there was no way he did not know about it.
“Oh?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows with the smile softening his fierce face. Yet, the smile was not a bright one as it gave out a chilling aura.
The smile caused Han Muzi to suspect that something was wrong, so she panicked inside and grabbed hold of Ye Moxuan’s sleeve without thinking much. “The situation is not what you think it is. He didn’t find out because of me; it was him—”
“It doesn’t matter what the reason is. He still knew about it earlier than me. And you… actually kept on following me because you hoped that I, the real father, won’t know about it. This was how the situation went, am I right?”
“I…” His words prevented Han Muzi from rebutting him.
Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes while they remained sharp and the temperature around him dropped. “Is it true?”
She lowered her eyes. “It actually went that way at first, but it’s different now. I—”
“Enough.” He immediately cut off her words. He did not fly into a rage and his voice seemed calm, but this made her even more fearful.
“Are you now… disappointed in me? Are you trying to argue with me?”
Ye Moxuan did not answer her.
“Are you trying to break up with me?” Han Muzi asked again.
Then, Ye Moxuan lifted his eyes toward her as his deep eyes reflected her face. “I haven’t thought about that.”
Those words caused Han Muzi’s heart to sink even further while her lips turned pale. “What do you mean you haven’t thought about it?” Does that mean he has considered it before?
Han Muzi held the sleeve of his jacket tightly, which made the sleeve that she ironed all crumpled up again. “So what are you saying now? You said that you haven’t thought about it, which means you’ve just considered it, right? Why? Is it because he is your son? Is that why you’re upset?”
However, Ye Moxuan stood still without moving a muscle.
She looked at him, tightening her grip. “Say something. Have you ever considered that? Do you want to break up with me? Are you trying to split up with me?”
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, his eyes rolled when he heard the words ‘split up’. Those pair of eyes were filled with worries and it felt like a needle was poking his heart. He never once considered to split up with her. He never gave it a thought even after he discovered that she had lied to him. This woman in front of him… was someone he could not reach out to and she only showed up in his dreams for the past five years. After such a hard time trying to get her, he would not split up with her. It was just that… he did not know what to do.
He lowered his head, slowly pushing away the pair of hands holding onto his sleeve.
At first, she was unwilling to let him do so and widened her eyes in resistance. She held on tightly to his sleeve.
He saw tears swimming in her eyes when he glimpsed at her eyes. He felt sorry for her, but his rage of being lied to overshadowed his sympathy and finally sighed. “Let go.”
“I don’t want to.” Han Muzi resisted the tears in her eyes. “If I let go, will you leave me again?” It was a question that she carefully asked.
Ye Moxuan looked at her with an ironic smile. “Are you actually afraid of losing me now?”
Han Muzi widened her eyes, but the tears had not rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes were naturally beautiful and now that it shone with tears, it looked like a magical piece of blue masterpiece being engulfed by mist. She shook her head. “Please don’t be angry. The situation isn’t what you think it is.”
Both of them had endured a treacherous journey to finally be together with each other. It was childish for them to split up just because of this. Throughout this period of time, it had always been Ye Moxuan who glued himself to her. On the surface, it seemed as if she had won and he had lost, but only Han Muzi herself was aware that there were no winners or losers in a relationship.
Although he had been the driving force, her heart was also closer to him each time. She knew this clearly because she never stopped loving Ye Moxuan all these years.
At the end, Ye Moxuan still pushed her hand away. Han Muzi felt a sudden emptiness in her hands as he backed off a couple of steps. “Let me think about it.” He gazed into her eyes and continued speaking, one word at a time, “I can’t think clearly now.”
Han Muzi twitched her lips. “After you have thought things through, are you going to split up with me?”
He frowned as he listened to her. “I didn’t say that.”
“But you are doing it right now. Little Bean is your child. Isn’t that good? I thought that… even if you’re angry at it, you will still feel a little happy about it, but I didn’t expect…” His rage was so huge that it encompassed everything else. Did I misjudge the situation?
“Let me think about it.”
He repeated the same words, which drained her energy all at once. She closed her eyes, leaning against the wall in defeat. “Fine. If you want to think about it, then I’ll let you think about it.”
Their surroundings quietened and after some time, she reopened her eyes to find that Ye Moxuan was gone.
Although she knew that this would happen, she was still disappointed at not seeing him in front of her. Her legs began to melt as she felt a bit unstable when she stood, so she leaned against the wall for support as she slowly sat down on the ground.
The icy cold floor sent shivers up her bottom, which made her unable to sit any longer. Maybe it was also her state of mind affecting her. She suddenly thought of something and rose to her full height before heading down the stairs.
It was empty downstairs and all that was left was the plate of fruits on the table. Han Muzi was stunned by what she saw. It was a while before she realized that her child was missing. Little Bean… Where’s Little Bean?
She did not give it much thought when she rushed upstairs to search for him, but to no avail. The sounds that she made caught Yan’s attention. “What is it?”
When she saw Yan, she immediately reached out to her. “Have you seen Little Bean? Is he there with you?”
“What do you mean?” Yan looked at her, confused. “Isn’t Little Bean downstairs? Why are you…” She widened her eyes mid-sentence and looked at Han Muzi in horror. “Could it be…” she trailed off, covering her mouth.
She slowly put down her hands and spoke a while later, “Muzi, Little Bean …”
Han Muzi stood there with a bitter smile. “He was taken away by his daddy.”
“What should we do now? Should we go and bring him back? Or, should I call your brother for help?” Yan immediately took out her phone and clicked into the contact list, but was stopped by Han Muzi from proceeding further.
“Don’t call him.” Ye Moxuan was already angry, so if she actually called Han Qing at this time, how would the former perceive her then?

“We’re not calling?” Yan put away her phone. “Then what about Little Bean? Young Master Ye…”
“It’ll be fine.” Han Muzi smiled faintly. “If he took him away, then let him be. He just found out the truth, so he needs some time to digest all of it. And… Little Bean isn’t that stupid either. After all, he is his biological father, so he won’t hurt him.”
Yan did not have anything else to add after hearing her words about it, so she nodded. “Alright, as long as you have a plan.”
“Go to sleep. Don’t keep running out.”
“Fine. Goodnight.”
Yan walked back to her room while holding her phone, but after a few steps, Han Muzi’s voice spilled into the hallway. “You’d better not secretly text my brother and tell him everything. I know you are thinking for me, but… you don’t have to tell him everything about me.”
Yan felt her back becoming stiffer as she nodded. “I know!”
…
Ye Moxuan drove the car away with Little Bean at the front passenger seat. He opened his mouth. “Mister, where are you bringing me to?”
His hands trembled as he held the steering wheel. Then, he glanced at the child beside him and did not notice that he addressed him in a gentle voice, “Didn’t I just say it? Don’t call me ‘Mister’. You need to call me Daddy.”
Little Bean blinked at him with innocent eyes.
“Hey, why don’t you call me Daddy now?” Ye Moxuan felt that his breathing accelerated after he said those words. He held his breath while waiting, but he didn’t receive the squishy sound of ‘Daddy’ as he expected. There was only silence instead. He could not help but look sideways at Little Bean. “Why aren’t you calling me Daddy?”
Little Bean pressed his lips and said, “I won’t call you that.”
Ye Moxuan’s breathing almost stopped. “Why not?”
“Mommy didn’t say that you’re my daddy, so I can’t simply call you that.”
So that is why. Ye Moxuan smiled faintly. “But your mommy also didn’t say that I’m not your daddy. Besides, look at how identical we look. If I’m not your daddy, who else is?”
After he was done, the little brat came up to him and stared at him to have a better look. Then, he sat back and crossed his tiny arms. “No. Even though you look exactly like me, I still can’t call you Daddy.”
“And why… is that?”
“Hmm, even if you really are my daddy, I still don’t want you as my daddy.”
His words stabbed Ye Moxuan’s heart like an arrow. The stoplight in front of them coincidentally turned red, so he stopped the car and looked toward Little Bean. “Can you tell me why?”
It made him feel weird to see a face that was so identical to his. He felt a special feeling inside him even looking at it now. In this world, only Song An was the closest to him. They might not have been biologically related, but there was still… that tiny bit of it in them. And now, this little brat was related to him by blood. This newfound knowledge made him feel excited and wonderful.
“Hmm, it has always been Mommy who takes care of me since I was born. Now I’m already five years old, and you suddenly show up. Why should I see you as my daddy? I won’t!” As soon as he finished, he turned his head away in a fit of anger.
The child’s words left Ye Moxuan speechless. In these five years, it had always been Han Muzi who took care of Little Bean while his father was far away, never once seeing his child or trying to fulfill his responsibility as a parent. A woman bringing up a child on her own. If he had not experienced it before, he would not have known how difficult it was. But he did. When he was a little boy, this was the kind of life his mother went through with him, so he was well aware of the difficulties of raising a child alone.
“Hey, kid,” Ye Moxuan suddenly called him.
“What is it?” Little Bean turned over to look at him.
“Are you speaking for your mommy?” Seeing him this way, Ye Moxuan curled the corners of his lips.
Little Bean grunted afterward. “My mommy doesn’t need me to speak for her. She is a good mommy.”
“I know that your mommy is good,” Ye Moxuan said helplessly. “But Daddy isn’t a bad person too. It was my fault for not taking care of you in the previous five years, and now… Daddy regrets it. I want to take care of you from now on to make up for my mistakes. Would you like that?”
Honk! Just as he was done with his words, someone had honked at him from behind. The traffic lights had changed from red to green, but he had been distracted by chatting with Little Bean.
Ye Moxuan drove his car away and said, “Alright. I will talk to you about this later when we go home. I don’t want you to call me ‘Mister’ again. You need to call me Daddy.”
Little Bean sat there as he blinked his eyes. Even though he was cute and innocent, he was capable of being crafty. Hmph, you never fulfilled your responsibility as a father and now you want to acknowledge me as your son. For a father who didn’t do much, you really are dreaming. Hmm, seeing that he brought me out, it’s obvious that he is angry with Mommy! Mommy is the best person in the world! How can he be angry with Mommy? B*stard! Little Bean mentally scoffed at him while thinking of an idea. You b*stard, Daddy. You’ve put Mommy in such difficult situations, so I need to help Mommy to make you pay. You need to pay a hundred times more than what Mommy endured!
It was already late at night, but he still made the long journey to bring Little Bean to Seabay Villa.
The security guards by the main gate found it odd when Ye Moxuan returned in his own car. Why would he be back at Seabay Villa at this time? Is he bringing Young Lady Ye back?
When the car went past them, they were all stunned while standing stationary. A few seconds later, they finally regained their senses.
“What the hell? Did my eyes deceive me? Is there someone sitting in the passenger seat? It wasn’t a mistake right?”
“I think I saw a ghost… I swear there was a kid in Young Master Ye’s passenger seat!”
“Pfft! Don’t say something this horrid. Young Master Ye is the dragon among people with a strong aura. How could he run into a ghost? But wait… Whose kid is that?”
“That ain’t right! That kid looks exactly the same as Young Master Ye!”
“Oh my God! Is he Young Master Ye’s son?” The guards looked at each other and went speechless. After a while, they screamed at the same time, “When did Young Master Ye have a son?”
At the same time, Ye Moxuan had parked the car and opened the door for Little Bean. When the child came down the car, he carefully placed his hand above his head to prevent it from bumping into the roof of the car.
