Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 671

“Be careful.”

After Little Bean exited the car, Ye Moxuan closed the door and naturally squatted down in front of him. “Do you want me to carry you inside?”

Little Bean took a step back and said to him seriously, “My mommy didn’t say that you’re my daddy, so I’ll walk by myself.” He immediately walked past Ye Moxuan after saying those words.

Looking at the little brat’s back, Ye Moxuan almost guessed his thoughts. The kid is still mad at me. Is he mad that I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a father for the last five years? Is that why he is unwilling to call me Daddy? Or is he angry that I only brought him here tonight?

Ye Moxuan suddenly thought of Han Muzi’s aggrieved expression earlier. It was rare for her to talk to him in such a depressive voice today. Thinking of it now, I really feel sorry for her, but…

Ye Moxuan did not delve too deep into it, so he followed Little Bean.

Seabay Villa was a huge place. Little Bean’s silhouette was almost engulfed by the dark of the night as he walked at a fast pace. If not for his short legs, Ye Moxuan would not have been able to catch up to him.

“Mister, will you send me back home later?”

Ye Moxuan stopped and answered, “It’s too late now. I’ve already informed your mommy that you’ll be staying with me tonight.”

Little Bean stopped in his tracks and Ye Moxuan felt his breathing halted for a moment. Will he be upset about it?

Little Bean turned his head and glanced at Ye Moxuan seriously. “Mister, did my mommy really agree to this?”

In the night, after seeing the little brat’s damp eyes, which resembled the eyes of a serious little beast, Ye Moxuan felt the guilt inside him, so he did not dare to look him at the eye. Therefore, he avoided Little Bean’s gaze and smiled faintly. “Of course. How could I have brought you out if I didn’t have your mommy’s permission?”

Little Bean tilted his tiny head while poking his fingers together. “That’s true. Then Mister… I want to have a video call with my mommy, so can I borrow your phone?”

Ye Moxuan immediately agreed to Little Bean’s request to borrow his phone. “Of course you can.”

It was almost as casual as it could have been when Ye Moxuan handed his phone over to him, as if he was offering candy to the boy. Ye Moxuan’s heart skipped for joy when the little brat reached out to grab the phone with his tiny hands.

“Thank you, Mister.” Little Bean happily turned away and ran into the house.

What kind of feeling is this? It took him a long time to convince himself to accept that this kid was the child of Muzi’s ex-husband when he had been under the misconception. After he met with the child and realized that the kid was actually … of his own blood, he did not know how to react. He looks exactly like me, so whose blood does he have except for mine? He should have cried with joy about it. After all, was this not his own child? However, along with joy, there was more anger inside him. This is my own biological son and he has been hidden from me for a whole five years. Five years… How many five years does one even get in a lifetime?

Ye Moxuan stood in a daze as the memory of that woman pulling on his sleeve and pleading with him flashed through his mind. His heart ached in pain as she was also the same woman that he would give up his life to be with. If possible, I would like to hold her in my arms and love her with all of my soul. But I don’t know what to think now.

As he thought about it, Little Bean’s voice came from inside the house. “Mister, what is the pattern of your password?”

After he heard his voice, Ye Moxuan came around and replied to him, “It’s a Z.”

Little Bean drew a ‘Z’ on the phone and unlocked the phone. The desktop of Ye Moxuan’s phone was very neat since there were only a few work related and pre-installed apps; there were no apps for entertainment whatsoever.

He gave the phone a scan and helplessly sighed inside afterward. He really is a boring man. All he has in his phone is work. How did he live throughout the past five years? According to my investigation, he didn’t have any woman beside him during the last five years. If it wasn’t for him protecting his integrity, I would never let Mommy be with him again.

Little Bean clicked into his WeChat and saw that his mommy was at the top of his chat. He then found a comfy space on a sofa before curling up on it. Afterward, he started scrolling Ye Moxuan’s phone. He then realized that there were no other female contacts in his WeChat except for his mommy.

Hmph, good for him! Little Bean grunted inside and clicked into Han Muzi’s chat before sending her an invitation for a video call.

Han Muzi was quietly sitting in her room when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate. She lowered her head to see that Ye Moxuan had sent her an invitation for a video call.

Han Muzi was shocked as she couldn’t react to the situation. What is he trying to do by sending an invitation for a video call? Has he finally straightened things out? As she thought about it, she accepted the invitation. While connecting to the video, Han Muzi felt that her heart was accelerating at high speed.

Afterward, a frame slowly appeared on her phone screen and it looked like Ye Moxuan, only thing was… it wasn’t Ye Moxuan.

“Little Bean?”

“Mommy!” As soon as he saw Han Muzi, a silly smile instantly appeared on his face. “Do you miss me?”

Do I miss him? Sigh… Han Muzi looked at him resignedly. “How can you ask me if I miss you after you have just left?”

“Hmph, how can you say that? Don’t you love me anymore? I have been away for a long time and I missed you so much, but you don’t miss me now, Mommy.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Then, she coughed softly and explained, “No. It’s because I knew where you were going, so I was assured. It’s not that I don’t miss you.”

Little Bean lifted his eyes to look at Han Muzi through the screen and coincidentally saw Ye Moxuan entering from the corners of his eyes. So, he asked, “That mister said that you’ve allowed him to bring me here. Is that true, Mommy?” Han Muzi was dumbfounded as she knew who Little Bean meant. Actually, Ye Moxuan had not informed her when he was taking Little Bean away. That was why she could not find Little Bean anywhere in her house after she returned to her senses. “And also, Mommy? Why does that mister look exactly like me? He says that he is my daddy. Is it true?”

Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan came to the door and saw the little brat sitting on the sofa while holding his phone. He curled up into a little ball and let out a childish voice when he talked to the phone. Along with his white shirt, there was a squishy feel to him—like a ball of cotton candy.

Ye Moxuan felt that his heart was coated with a layer of honey. However, in the next second, Little Bean made him anxious with his question. If Muzi doesn’t admit to it, will the little brat… disown me as his daddy? Ye Moxuan held on to his breath as he waited quietly.

After a passage of time, he heard the gentle voice of a woman saying, “Yes, he is your daddy.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 672

Ye Moxuan felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart, while Little Bean grunted in such a soft tone that only he heard it. Mommy, how could you speak up for Daddy like that after what he did to you?

Little Bean was a bit furious, so he snorted. “Then is he good to you, Mommy? If he doesn’t treat you well, I don’t want him as my Daddy!”

Ye Moxuan’s heart hung on a thread again when he listened to what the child said. He felt that he was about to have a headache and reached out to massage his forehead. This little brat… Why do I have a weird feeling that he is a quirky child who always stirs up trouble? It is understandable, though. If I were him and a man suddenly shows up to claim that he is my father, surely I will resist him too. After all, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities for the past five years, so it will be difficult for him to believe me when I tell him that I’m his father. He probably needs time to digest the news. With this thought in mind, Ye Moxuan gradually calmed his heart.

“It doesn’t matter whether you want to or not. He is your daddy.” Han Muzi sighed before she asked softly, “Is he beside you?”

Little Bean pretended not to see Ye Moxuan and shook his head. “He’s not here, Mommy.”

“Then listen to me.” Han Muzi looked at her son with a pair of gentle eyes and smiled before she spoke softly, “It doesn’t matter where he was before because he is here now. He is still your daddy. Even if you don’t want to acknowledge him as your daddy, he is your daddy. It doesn’t make any difference whether you want to acknowledge him or not. And also, for the past five years, I myself have made some mistakes too, but I’ve thought clearly about it. So, Little Bean, for my sake, please don’t make things difficult for your daddy, alright?”

What was in Han Muzi’s mind now? She was able to place herself in Ye Moxuan’s position and understand his feelings. If it had been her, she would have felt bad about it too. He was concerned, especially with the last two questions that he asked—and they were about Ye Linhan. Even though nothing was said about hating Ye Linhan to Han Muzi, he was still the man who destroyed Ye Moxuan’s family. How could he not hate him for what he had done? Han Muzi related well to the feeling of having a third party destroy a relationship because it had happened to her relationship with Lin Jiang as well. She was also disgusted that time, which was why she understood Ye Moxuan’s feelings.

Little Bean pouted with discontent. “Mommy, you are always so considerate of him, but does he even know?”

Those words were strictly meant for Ye Moxuan, who stood at a corner, to listen. He rubbed his chin, feeling that his image had suddenly collapsed in the eyes of his son. The little brat initially hated him, but after he had brought him without his mother, Little Bean’s grudge for him only intensified. He pressed his lips, feeling embarrassed.

On the other side of the call, Han Muzi smiled faintly. “Alright, you children shouldn’t ask too much about adult issues. I have my own limits, so I know what to do. Remember to ask your daddy to send you to school tomorrow. I will bring your bag to school for you. Do you hear me?”

“Okay.” Little Bean nodded, but he still felt sorry for his Mommy.

“It’s late now. You better go to bed early. Don’t doze off at school tomorrow.”

“Goodnight to you, Mommy. I love you.” Little Bean showed a loving gesture to the screen and ended the call. After he put away the phone, he curled up on the sofa and muttered, “Hmph, stupid Mommy.”

While he stood outside the living room, Ye Moxuan heard his words and felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He did not enter and instead ordered a servant to take care of Little Bean as he returned to his study room.

The minute he entered the study room, he wanted to make a phone call to Xiao Su, but realized that his phone was still with the little brat when he tried to take his phone out. He went to his drawer and fished out a backup phone in such a helpless situation. Just as and when he made the call, he suddenly thought of something and immediately cut the call. He felt that he broke his promise by asking Xiao Su to look more into the child’s background.

He then put down the phone. Forget it.

…

Han Muzi woke up early the next day and casually showered before she headed downstairs to make breakfast.

Yan followed suit not too long after and saw that Han Muzi had already prepared breakfast for them. “Why are you up so early?”

Han Muzi lifted her eyes to meet Yan’s gaze and smiled. “How is this early? It’s almost time for work. Hurry up and eat.”

Yan did as she was ordered. As she started to eat, she saw that Han Muzi was already headed upstairs. After she had finished eating, she got up to wash her hands and saw that her roommate was prepared to head outside while holding Little Bean’s bag. “I’m going to Little Bean’s school first. Maybe you should take the bus to work instead.”

Yan was upset by this. “Really? We haven’t gone to work together in a long time and now you’re not even waiting for me?”

Han Muzi replied in a resigned state, “Then I’ll give you five minutes to finish your makeup and get ready. Can you do that?”

Five minutes? That won’t even be enough for my makeup. Yan shook her head in refusal. “Forget it. I think I’ll just squeeze myself in the bus. Are you okay today?”

“Yes? How could I not be fine?”

Yan blinked. “Why do you look like you’re in a good mood today?”

“Should I be in a bad mood instead?”

Shouldn’t you be? Last night, Ye Moxuan took Little Bean away and left here, so it did not seem right. Muzi woke up earlier today to make breakfast and prepared everything diligently. The more normal it looked, the weirder it was for Yan.

“Alright. I’ll be off then.” Han Muzi left and carried the bag without waiting for Yan’s reaction.

After she left, Yan rubbed her head and went upstairs again.

Han Muzi went to school earlier and left Little Bean’s bag there before immediately heading to her company. Maybe she was scared of meeting Ye Moxuan and Little Bean.

She hated to relive last night’s scene and lacked the courage to talk to Ye Moxuan anymore because when it came to emotions, she was an exceptionally weak person. If Ye Moxuan said something that was uncertain to her again, she was sure that she would throw in the towel in their relationship. Their love made her feel like she walked on thin ice.

Ye Moxuan also woke up earlier to send Little Bean to school. When he brought him to the gate, the teacher had carried his bag while having a chat with her colleague as they walked inside. Coincidentally, they saw that Little Bean was approaching them.

What surprised the teachers the most was that the man, who sent Little Bean to school, was the exact replica of him.

The school teachers had never met Little Bean’s father, which made everyone curious. As Han Qing was his uncle, they only dared to talk about it privately. Now that they finally met Ye Moxuan, a few teachers were stunned at the facial similarities.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 673

“Good morning, teacher,” Little Bean greeted his teacher, noticing the bag in her hand and raising his head. “Teacher, did my Mommy send my bag here?”

The teacher, who was taken aback by Ye Moxuan’s appearance, returned to her senses and nodded. “Yes. Your mommy sent the bag over just now. She said that someone will send you here later and is that… your daddy?”

As the two of them were exact replicas of each other, it was not her fault that she asked this question because it was rather obvious that they were father and son.

When he heard this, Little Bean turned around and shot a glance at Ye Moxuan, who just got down from the car. He thought about what Han Muzi had told him last night and was obviously still angry with that. But since they were in front of outsiders, Little Bean still planned to give Ye Moxuan some respect and nodded instead.

The group of teachers were shocked by the child’s admission as they kept guessing who his father was when they had never seen him. Now that they had finally met him, they were surprised that he was incredibly good-looking.

“I’ll pick you up in the afternoon?” Ye Moxuan ignored the rest of the teachers there and walked to Little Bean. He squatted and pressed his huge palm on Little Bean’s little head while asking him this question.

After he thought about it, Little Bean shook his head. “Lunch is provided by school later.”

Ye Moxuan nodded after he pondered for a while. “Okay then, I’ll pick you up in the evening.”

Little Bean nodded at this suggestion.

“Go in then.” Ye Moxuan patted Little Bean’s back.

A surprised voice shot through the crowd at this time. “A-A-Aren’t you Young Master Ye?”

Both Ye Moxuan and Little Bean raised their heads simultaneously and saw a bespectacled middle-age man standing in front of them. When he saw Ye Moxuan, he rubbed his hands anxiously, looking at him with saucer eyes. “Y-Y-Young Master Ye, is this… your son?”

Ye Moxuan looked at him, but did not remember who this person was. However, in front of his son, he thought it would be bad if he was too cold, so he nodded and hummed in agreement.

Rumors had spread that Young Master Ye from the Ye Group was very arrogant and did not treat everyone with respect. This middle-age man was excited after hearing Ye Moxuan’s reply and thought that unlike what was being said, Ye Moxuan was not that difficult to get along with after all. As a result, he was elated and offered a handshake to Ye Moxuan.

“Y-Y-Young Master Ye, good morning. I-I-I-I am the manager from the Lin Property Group. My name is—”

Ye Moxuan frowned impatiently. What is this person doing? While the man refused to finish his sentence, Ye Moxuan patted Little Bean’s school bag. “Get in there quickly. Don’t stand here like a fool.”

Little Bean did not move; he blinked and looked at Ye Moxuan with saucer eyes. He then raised his head and looked at the stammering middle-age man before asking, “Why is he so afraid of you?”

This question only made Ye Moxuan’s body stiffened.

“Is it because you are very terrifying?” The little guy blinked innocently yet no one knew that he was actually quite cunning.

Ye Moxuan only recently got to know his son and could tell that the child did not like him. Hence, he thought that if he allowed his son to have the impression that he was a difficult person, the boy’s dislike for him would only grow even deeper.

This made him conflicted and the smile on the corners of his lips seemed a little stiff. “How so? I’m a very friendly person. You don’t have to be afraid of me at all.” With that, he raised his head and looked at the middle-age man next to him. “So, what were you talking about just now? What is your name?”

The bespectacled middle-age man froze for a long time before he snapped back to reality and extended his hand. “I-I-I said that I’m a manager from the Lin Property Group. I have admired you for quite a while now. If we have the opportunity, I hope we can collaborate…” While he spoke, the man took this opportunity to quickly take out his business card. “T-This is my business card.”

As his hands trembled, he handed his business card to Ye Moxuan with a flattering smile but still worried that Ye Moxuan would not accept it. If his business card was rejected, it would be a greatly embarrassing moment.

The people around them involuntarily became nervous for no apparent reason.

All this while, Little Bean kept his head raised and looked at Ye Moxuan. Even though he was a clean freak, he had no choice but to take the business card from the middle-aged man in front of his son.

The man trembled even more when Ye Moxuan took the business card and was so agitated that his eyes turned red. On the other hand, to show that he was an amiable person, Ye Moxuan exchanged his business card as well. “This is my business card.”

After the man took the business card, he was shocked beyond belief. “T-T-Thank you so much, Young Master Ye! I will definitely treasure this business card. Oh, by the way, may I shake hands with you?” The man extended his hand again and looked at Ye Moxuan expectantly.

To a clean freak like Ye Moxuan, this posed a great challenge as he was asked to shake hands with a stranger. His veins stuck out on his forehead as he shot a warning look at the man. Unfortunately, the man was too shocked to realize this.

Ye Moxuan shot a glance at Little Bean and realized that his son was still looking at him. Feeling helpless, he twitched his lips into a slight smile before he shook hands with that man.

Because of this, the man became even more excited. When he withdrew his hand, he treasured it a lot. His reaction made others feel like he would never wash his hands again.

“Little Bean, please be good. I’m a very friendly person, so you don’t have to be afraid of me. Quickly go into your classroom.” After he shook hands with a stranger, Ye Moxuan felt incredibly uncomfortable.

When Little Bean saw that Ye Moxuan restrained himself, he felt that this was funny in his heart and nodded. “Alright.” He then turned around and entered the school compound after he waved goodbye to Ye Moxuan.

It was only after Little Bean disappeared in his field of sight that Ye Moxuan heaved a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he shot a cold glance at the man who was still absorbed in his thoughts and walked past with an indifferent expression.

He felt uncomfortable from head to toe as a result of his encounter with that man. After he returned to his car, he sat in the driver’s seat and took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands carefully, not letting go of any inch of his hand. Then, he immediately threw the handkerchief into a nearby dustbin.

After a while, he slouched in his seat and closed his eyes in exasperation. It would be an arduous effort to placate the little guy. When can I hear him calling me daddy?

Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and opened his eyes again. That woman came to school to send the bag so early yet she didn’t stay. Is she afraid of meeting me? Why is she afraid of meeting me? Is she afraid of being questioned? Or is it because she thinks that she is wrong and dare not confront me?

Ye Moxuan straightened his tie and felt quite annoyed. He realized that no matter what reason it was, it had infuriated him.

It was a long time later that his car, which was parked in front of the school gate, was driven away. A group of female teachers then discussed his presence among each other.

“The man who came earlier is Little Bean’s father? He is so good-looking!”

“Indeed, but he looks very familiar as well. I felt like I’ve met him somewhere…”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 674

one noticed that there was something off about Ye Moxuan during the meeting. From the moment he stepped into the conference room, the cold expression on his face combined with his negative mood made the temperature in the room dip by a few degrees.

Those present for the meeting looked at each other in shock and did not know what went on.

This meeting had already been held many times before, but no one had produced any satisfactory results. It had been previously postponed multiple times because he was interrupted by other matters.

Even though they wanted to tell Ye Moxuan that his behavior of allowing his personal matters to affect his work was not right, he was their boss. They preferred to have a couple more meetings than to infuriate their demon overlord and they feared that he might point the finger at them instead. They only kept their unhappiness to themselves as a result.

What made things worse in today’s meeting was Ye Moxuan’s foul mood. Seeing that he already arrived with a negative aura, this made everyone more anxious. How on earth is this meeting going to proceed?

After they exchanged glances with each other, someone broke the silence. “Young Master Ye, is the present that you asked being sent?”

When he heard the word ‘present’, he glared at the person who had the courage to ask such a question. That person was petrified to such a stage that he never spoke a single word after that.

“Let’s start the meeting,” Ye Moxuan said in an unfriendly tone after a while.

Everyone became silent and thought, Are we going to the meeting for real now?

Everyone was afraid to voice out their opinions in the beginning. After some time, they realized that Ye Moxuan merely listened to their discussions with a stoic face and took the discussion further.

As he heard their discussions, Ye Moxuan thought about Han Muzi’s distressed look and Little Bean’s adorable face.

“Young Master Ye? Young Master Ye?”

Ye Moxuan suddenly returned to his senses and saw that someone called for him, so he looked at that person.

“What do you think of this suggestion?”

Ye Moxuan froze for a while before pursing his lips. “Not bad.” Even though he had barely paid any attention to what was said.

Everyone became quiet and glanced at each other again. They all knew that Ye Moxuan did not hear a word of their discussion just now.

Xiao Su, who was beside them, could not stand this anymore, so he walked to Ye Moxuan and whispered the summary of the discussion in his ears.

Initially, Ye Moxuan’s expression was still normal, but after he heard Xiao Su’s recap, he frowned and snorted. “Which idiot suggested that idea? After working in the Ye Group for such a long time, are you not ashamed of yourself to have suggested this?”

Everyone was speechless upon hearing that. You just said that it was a good idea seconds ago. Are you sure it’s okay to contradict yourself like this?

Ye Moxuan made sure that his gaze penetrated the crowd with fear. “Do you think that your work has been too easy recently? Which is why you wanted to simply find an idea to pass it off?”

Xiao Su put his fists near his lips and cleared his throat lightly before speaking in Ye Moxuan’s ears.

However, as Ye Moxuan was absorbed in his own thoughts, he sat there like a statue when Xiao Su finished speaking.

Someone who possessed enough courage asked in a quiet voice, “Assistant Xiao, why don’t we end this meeting sooner? I suggest that we continue this meeting after Young Master Ye has finished settling his personal stuff.”

When they heard that, everyone’s expression changed immediately and they looked at Ye Moxuan, fearing that he would burst in anger. However, he looked like he had heard nothing and just sat there without moving.

Everyone was befuddled upon seeing this.

After he remained quiet for a while, Xiao Su said, “Why don’t you guys head back first? When Young Master Ye has finished dealing with his matters, we will continue with this.”

Since Xiao Su had already spoken, everyone did not waste their time in the room anymore and left after taking their things.

When Ye Moxuan finally returned to his senses, he realized that there was no one in the room. He was stunned for a moment, frowning in dissatisfaction. “Where’s everyone?”

Xiao Su stood beside him with an exasperated expression. “I’ve asked everyone to leave first.”

He shot a sharp look at Xiao Su, which sent chills down his spine. Xiao Su straightened his back and replied, “Young Master Ye, I did not ask them to leave on purpose. It’s just that you weren’t focusing at all—you haven’t even heard a single word that they said. With due respect, if you are not the boss here, everyone would complain about you.”

Ye Moxuan pressed his lips into a thin line and said coldly, “Do you have a death wish?”

How intimidating… Xiao Su took a step back and felt a chill down his spine. He coughed gently before saying, “I don’t, but there’s something that I must tell you. Young Master Ye, you have been dealing with Young Lady, right? In the past, you had a clear line between work and private matters. However, recently, you have mixed your private matters with work. This is not a good occurrence.”

Ye Moxuan raised his head. “Are you criticizing me now?”

Xiao Su’s mouth twitched a little. “Young Master Ye, I’m not criticizing you. I’m just advising you!”

“Get out of here.” Without leaving any respect, Ye Moxuan asked Xiao Su to get lost.

Quite dejected, Xiao Su suggested helplessly, “If this goes on, there will be no end to this meeting. Young Master Ye, I’ve been quite busy with work recently, so it wouldn’t really make any difference if I’m busier. W-Why don’t you take time off to settle everything with Young Lady first?”

After he thought about that woman, Ye Moxuan recalled Little Bean and pursed his lips before looking at Xiao Su. “I have a question for you. If there are two people in this world who look alike, what do you think is their relationship?”

Xiao Su was not sure about the purpose of this question and he could not grasp what Ye Moxuan’s thoughts were either. He answered tentatively after looking at his superior, “Two people who look exactly alike? Are… they twins?” With that, Xiao Su noticed that Ye Moxuan frowned almost immediately.

Is this not the answer that he wants? Xiao Su immediately changed his answer. “Did one of them undergo plastic surgery?”

Ye Moxuan did not reply to him. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Su sharply. “Do you want to die?”

Xiao Su paused for a moment before asking, “Young Master Ye, why do you suddenly ask this question? In my opinion, apart from twins, it’s quite difficult to find another person who looks exactly like the other.”

Ye Moxuan had a sudden thought. “What if they are father and son?”

“Father and son?” Xiao Su felt a sudden stroke of inspiration. After he thought about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on him. “Young Master Ye, are you saying that…”

Xiao Su suddenly remembered what Ye Moxuan had done for the past few days—he had asked Xiao Su to buy a lot of children’s toys and now he talked about father and son.

Could it be… Xiao Su looked at Ye Moxuan with saucer eyes.

“Y-Y-Young Master Ye, has Young Lady given birth to—”

Ye Moxuan had a conflicted expression and merely sat there without confirming nor denying Xiao Su’s question. Xiao Su gulped and moved closer to Ye Moxuan. “—to a son? And apart from that, he even looks exactly like you?”

Ye Moxuan frowned in annoyance.

Xiao Su returned to his senses and said immediately, “I’ll go look into this right away.” With that, he was about to turn around to leave, but after taking a few steps, he heard Ye Moxuan’s cold command. “Stay right there.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 675

Xiao Su’s feet were buried to the ground upon hearing that and he looked at Ye Moxuan in confusion. “Young Master Ye?”

Ye Moxuan raised his head, shooting Xiao Su with an expression that could have frozen lakes. “Did I ask you to look into it?”

Xiao Su shook his head.

“Then why did you take the initiative to do so?”

Oh, right. Young Master Ye didn’t give me any orders. Why am I so nervous? Xiao Su cleared his throat, but still felt shocked at the truth. “Young Master Ye, what I said just now is true, right? Young Lady really gave birth to your son and he looked exactly like you? Is that the reason why you have been worried about what presents to give him for the past couple of days?”

Ye Moxuan ignored him, but Xiao Su thought that this was a tacit approval. He felt a little wistful, but he felt that something was wrong somewhere, so he mumbled to himself, “Something is wrong. Why does her son look exactly the same as Young Master Ye? For the past five years, Young Master Ye hasn’t even seen the Young Lady. When she married into the Ye Family, she had already been pregnant for a month. Before that, Young Master hadn’t even married her. How is this even possible?”

After his analysis, Xiao Su felt that he was not very smart. What the hell is going on? Young Lady had Young Master Ye’s son? When did she give birth? His thoughts about it only made Xiao Su more confused.

When Ye Moxuan heard that, he had a mocking smile on his face as well. “That’s right. Even I didn’t guess that. I can’t believe I have been tricked by her for such a long time.”

Xiao Su scratched his head. “Young Master Ye, I think my brain is not functioning anymore. What is going on?”

“Back then, when I asked you to find out about that woman, you didn’t manage to find out who she is, right?”

He noticed that Ye Moxuan had suddenly changed the topic and was even more confused, but he dutifully replied, “That’s right. I didn’t find her. This is also quite weird. She’s just a woman and I have sent so many people to look for her. No matter what, we should have already found her by now, but that woman seems to have disappeared from the world. No matter how hard I try, I still can’t find her…” When he had reached this point, Xiao Su suddenly stopped talking and looked at Ye Moxuan. “Young Master Ye, don’t tell me that Young Lady is the one we have been looking for?”

Since they had already reached this point, Xiao Su felt that he did not need to ask further to confirm this. He widened his eyes, still feeling incredulous.

Back then, Ye Moxuan had asked him to find that woman and he spent a lot of effort to do that. However, in the end, they had no idea that the woman was right in front of them. They were looking for her high and low without even knowing that she was already in their house.

“No wonder…” Xiao Su scratched his head and mumbled to himself again, “I was thinking that it had been so difficult looking for her back then. The reason why we can’t find her is because … she has always been right in front of us?”

However, they had completely neglected this possibility. To be precise, they had never thought of it in this manner.

Xiao Su suddenly remembered that. “Remember that time when you wanted the Young Lady to abort the baby inside her? Didn’t you almost…” As soon as he had said it aloud, Xiao Su felt that the atmosphere had changed drastically and immediately shut his mouth.

In retrospect, they still thought that it was quite a close call. If Ye Moxuan had not taken pity on Young Lady and assured that it was fine even if she did not have an abortion, he probably would have already killed his own child. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he thought about that likelihood.

“Young Master Ye, Young Lady has suffered a lot during those years.”

“Suffered a lot?” Xiao Su’s words had made Ye Moxuan freeze in stupor.

“Yeah.” Xiao Su nodded vehemently. “If the baby inside Young Lady’s belly was your child at that time, it is not an illegitimate child anymore. However, when she married into the Ye Family at that time, she suffered a lot because of this. You probably still remember your attitude toward her, Young Master Ye, don’t you?”

Ye Moxuan was stunned. After a while and probably because of this, he said, “Get lost.”

Xiao Su remained quiet upon hearing that. After he saw that something was wrong with his expression, Xiao Su merely walked out of the conference room silently.

After everyone had left, Ye Moxuan leaned against the chair and closed his eyes in the big, empty conference room, whereupon the memories from five years ago started flooding in.

At that time, when Han Muzi married into the Ye Family, even the marriage certificate was done by his grandfather and the wedding was just simply held. At that time, he also knew what his grandfather thought.

When he asked Ye Moxuan, who was wheelchair bound, to marry a daughter from a family who was going bankrupt, this was equivalent to announcing to the entire North City that Ye Moxuan was just average and that he would not be treated equally by the Ye Family.

Of course Ye Moxuan knew that even though Old Master Ye had brought him back to the Ye Family, he had caused Ye Moxuan’s mother to die and took precautions against him for the fear that he would take revenge upon discovering the truth. He even found a wife for him to try and control him.

It was a pity that Old Master Ye thought highly of Ye Moxuan’s capabilities and wanted him to work on the Ye Group without having him wielding too much power as well. Ye Moxuan also knew about such matters back then.

Hence, when Han Muzi married into the Ye Family, Ye Moxuan felt that she had already paired up with Old Master Ye and his group. On top of that, he even realized that she was pregnant. To Ye Moxuan, this was a disgrace and ridiculous. Because of that, he thought that Han Muzi was vain and would give her a hard time so that she would know where she stood. However, no one knew that…

Ye Moxuan stretched out his hand to massage his temples. After he thought about their history, his temples throbbed. So, when he felt that he was being deceived, did Han Muzi not suffer a lot as well?

…

When Han Muzi saw Leng Yueyue’s design, she nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad. You are improving a lot. Keep it up.”

After she received Han Muzi’s recognition, Leng Yueyue felt happy and left with her design.

When Yan entered and observed that Han Muzi was still busy without being affected by the recent events, she was worried again. She was also shocked that Han Muzi was able to analyze the questions that she posed.

“Muzi, are you sure you’re fine?” Yan could not help but ask again.

Han Muzi raised her head and looked at her. “Why wouldn’t I be? We’re working now. What are you thinking?”

When Yan heard Han Muzi’s slight rebuke, she had nothing to say because if she continued, it seemed as if she did not take her job seriously. As such, she kept her mouth shut about that topic.

“I shall continue my work then. Can I fetch Little Bean from school in the evening?”

Han Muzi was stunned for a bit when she heard this, completely forgetting that Yan had already regarded Little Bean as her love guru. But these few days…

After she gave it some consideration, she said, “It’s probably inconvenient. Little Bean… is with Ye Moxuan now. He will pick him up later.”

“Or maybe he won’t?” Yan still harbored some hope. “I don’t care. I will just go and wait for him after school. If Young Master Ye isn’t there, I will take Little Bean home.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 676

Han Muzi looked at Yan helplessly. Just how much does this girl like Han Qing? She wants to see him everyday?

When she saw Han Muzi’s bewildered expression, Yan shyly lowered her gaze and recovered her normal, cheerful self after a while before she cleared her throat.

“I know you must think that I’m too initiative. But… if I don’t grab this opportunity, what if Han Qing has feelings for other women? When that happens, no matter how much I want to try, I won’t have the chance anymore.”

Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.

“On top of that, if I don’t reinforce his memory by showing up around him everyday, your brother might just forget about my existence in a few days.”

“I know.” Han Muzi nodded. She suddenly smiled at Yan’s worried expression. “At most three days. After three days, I’ll let Little Bean come back to you to be your love guru.”

“Really?” Yan asked, sounding pleasantly surprised to hear that.

“Yup.”

After Yan remembered Ye Moxuan’s cold expression, she felt a little fearful and bit her lips before asking, “W-What if… Young Master Ye doesn’t agree to that? After all, things are different now.”

By this stage, Little Bean had already known that Ye Moxuan was his father. He was not just a normal person on the streets; he was Young Master Ye from the Ye Family in North City. If he knew that she wanted his son to be her love guru, Yan had no idea how she would survive that.

“I’m sure he won’t disagree with that.” Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I’ve already told you—it’s just three days. You just have to bear with it these few days.”

Three days… Yan suspected that there was more to it than meets the eye when she heard the timeframe. Is Muzi going to try something? After three days, if Young Master Ye disagrees to that, is she… going to take her son back forcefully?

Now that they had finally made peace with each other, if they got into a fight again, it could have a ricochetting effect. She asked tentatively when she thought about this. “Er, Muzi? Why don’t we ignore my personal matters for a while? I think that your happiness is the most important thing here. After all, Little Bean is your child. Even though I really like Han Qing, I can’t be this selfish…”

“Who said you’re selfish? What on earth are you thinking?” Han Muzi crossed her arms and looked at Yan with an amused expression on her face, believing that Yan had misunderstood something.

“Now that you and Young Master Ye have finally reconciled with each other, I’m worried that—”

“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. After all, I’ve indeed hidden this matter from him for far too long.”

“You mean…” Yan suddenly understood everything, looking at the smile on her face. “I get it now. I will wait for your good news then.”

Han Muzi smiled and remained quiet.

Time flew quickly. Han Muzi continued her life as usual. Even though there was a person less in her household, she did not feel any discomfort whatsoever. If Yan had not known about her thoughts beforehand, she would have thought that Han Muzi suffered from mental issues.

Three days had quickly arrived.

While Han Muzi continued her life as usual and went to work, Yan became increasingly worried. “Three days have passed. Muzi, you…”

“Yeah?” Han Muzi was stunned for a while before saying in surprise, “Has it been three days already? Time has passed quite quickly indeed.”

Yan suddenly felt worried, looking at Han Muzi’s nonchalant expression. What is wrong with her? It has been three days and Young Master Ye and Little Bean haven’t even appeared. Why is she so chill?

However, although she looked quite confident, Yan did not know what exactly went on within her. “Since the time is up, why don’t you pick up Little Bean a little earlier today?”

“What?” Yan widened her eyes. “You want me to pick Little Bean up slightly earlier? Is this… really fine? Have you told Young Master Ye?”

“No,” Han Muzi replied calmly.

After Yan had heard that, her face immediately sank. “Is it really fine for me to pick him up without you telling him beforehand?”

“Don’t worry. You just have to bring Little Bean back. I will go to his office to find him after I get off work.”

Yan became more relieved upon hearing that Han Muzi would talk to Ye Moxuan. As long as Han Muzi had a word with him, she could take Little Bean away.

“Alright, got it! I’ll wait for him after I get off from work earlier today.”

Time went past quickly. When it was almost time to leave the workplace, Yan quickly left after giving Han Muzi a heads up.

Han Muzi shot a glance at the phone on the table after she left. Throughout the entire day, it had been silent without anyone calling her. To be precise, her phone had been silent for many days. It seemed like Ye Moxuan had disappeared from her life. For the past three days, he did not send her any messages or call her. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

In contrast to the way he showed up at her company and house almost instantly in the past, Han Muzi lowered her gaze helplessly without any smile.

Since Yan had already gone to pick Little Bean up, Han Muzi thought that it would probably be better for her to go to the Ye Group to wait for Ye Moxuan.

Han Muzi acted on her thoughts almost immediately. After she had finished all her work, she left the company and drove to Ye Group.

At the Ye Group, when Han Muzi had arrived, it was almost time for everyone to get off work. She decided that it would be best to wait for him in the lobby. If she went up to look for him, she thought that he might try to avoid her.

However, waiting in her car at the entrance for too long was not an option, so she parked at a nearby parking bay before going to the opposite cafe. After she had a cup of coffee, she sat at a spot near the windows. It was quite a good position indeed—the lighting was good and she could see everything opposite her through the clear glass.

As soon as Ye Moxuan was out, she could see him immediately. Han Muzi held her phone and opened WeChat to look at the all-familiar profile picture, hesitating on whether she could call him or not. After she hesitated, she thought that there was no need for her to do so since she was already there. It would be the best to just go and see him directly.

As seconds and minutes ticked by, Han Muzi finally saw a familiar figure walking out from the company five minutes after the end of business hour. Her heart raced as she snatched the cup of coffee with her hands and grabbed the bag before running out.

With his car keys in his hand, Ye Moxuan frowned when he walked out because he realized that he had left work too late. If he went to pick Little Bean up now, the latter would have waited for him for a long time. Hence, he walked quickly. Han Muzi was behind him, panting as she tried to catch up to him in her high heels. Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan increased his pace in his worry.

Han Muzi thought that he had already discovered her presence and did not want him to catch up to him because he refused to see her, which angered her. She stopped in her tracks and shouted at him, “Ye Moxuan!”

The man in front of her stopped. Ye Moxuan’s frown deepened. Am I having hallucinations? I think… I heard that woman’s voice? That’s ain’t right. According to her behavior, how would she come and find me? Probably it’s because I’ve missed her too much recently, which explains why I am having hallucinations.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 677

That person only paused for a moment before he continued to walk as if he had heard nothing. Han Muzi widened her eyes in disbelief. This person… He obviously heard me calling his name, but he only paused for a while and kept walking after that! Is he pretending not to hear me? Does he want to avoid talking to me so much?

Han Muzi’s anger boiled as she bit her lips and tried to catch up to him again, yelling once more, “Ye Moxuan, if you don’t wait for me, I will block you on WeChat!”

Just as she had expected, the tall figure in front of her did not just pause for a moment; he came to a complete stop. After she noticed this, she refused to chase after him as she was already out of breath but paused and looked at his back. He will turn around, won’t he?

Han Muzi thought, If Ye Moxuan doesn’t turn around and continue walking, I… I will definitely block him on WeChat! She bit her lips and kept her feet to the ground, glaring at his back without moving.

After some time, when she saw that the man in front of her did not make any movements, she could not help but yell, “Aren’t you going to come around?”

There was a hidden meaning behind her question. On the surface, it looked as if she had asked him whether he wanted to turn around and acknowledge her, but in reality, she meant the events that transpired over the past few days.

Han Muzi deliberately phrased the question that way. Of course she knew that Ye Moxuan was incredibly smart and would have known what she was trying to convey. Since he said that he needed more time to think about it, she agreed to his request. Hence, she had given him three days.

She thought, No matter how angry he is, three days should be enough for him to think it through. This was the reason why she came here to look for him to hear his answer today.

Even though her voice was not too loud, she was positive that Ye Moxuan, who was not far away from her, could hear her. After she said those words, she patiently waited for him at the same spot where she stood.

The long wait made her feel quite disappointed. When Han Muzi felt that she could no longer bear with it and wanted to head off, the person in front of her had finally moved, albeit rather slowly. His side-profile and cold eyes had convinced Han Muzi that he had aged a lot over the past few days.

After she saw that Ye Moxuan turned around and the handsome face was now in front of her, Han Muzi’s heart raced with nervousness. She bit her lower lip but did not move from her spot. The two of them then looked at each other from a distance.

However, he did not seem to have the intention to come over to her. Han Muzi thought about it and walked forward to Ye Moxuan.

When she had almost reached him, she suddenly thought of something and a hint of disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes. After that, she also stopped walking when there was still a distance between them.

Ye Moxuan moved his lips as he looked at her with a conflicted expression.

There was a sarcastic smile on Han Muzi’s face. “If I hadn’t come looking for you, were you planning to avoid me forever?”

Ye Moxuan pressed his lips into a thin line and the cold expression was etched on his face.

“Is that right?” Han Muzi added, not wanting to give up. This was because she thought that since she had made the journey here, she needed to clear up any misunderstandings between them.

Ye Moxuan continued to look at her without uttering another word.

After they looked at each other for some time, Han Muzi said helplessly, “I know that I’m wrong to hide this from you for such a long time, but you don’t know the true reason behind my actions. There are many reasons behind this. When I knew about this back then, I wasn’t even sure about it because I had no idea that the man that night was you. Can’t you put yourself in my shoes for a moment? If I knew that man was you, I wouldn’t have to suffer so much after I married into the Ye Family.”

Suffer? He remembered that he insulted her that the child she carried was a bastard. Apart from that, he said that she was promiscuous and slutty and, after sometime, he even thought that she was an incredibly foolish woman. Her husband had cheated on her and hooked up with another woman yet she still wanted to give birth to his child. However, no one knew that the baby she had carried was actually his child. Moreover, she was still a virgin during that night.

How could this be? Ye Moxuan was moved when he thought of this. When he asked Xiao Su to look into Han Muzi’s background, he knew that she had been married to her ex-husband for two years. It was quite impossible that she was still a virgin.

Is it possible that during that two years, she has never slept together with that man? Which means, I’m the first man who slept with her? Feeling a little agitated, his expression became even more conflicted when he looked at her again.

“Why do others know this before you? In regards to this question, I can explain. Han Qing found out about it before you because he is my brother. During the past five years, he has been taking good care of me. Don’t tell me that you are going to be jealous of my family too?”

Family… This word had moved Ye Moxuan. His eyes flickered, but Han Muzi continued, “As for Ye Linhan, it was pure coincidence that he knows about this. I didn’t tell him on my own.”

“Coincidence?” he asked out loud.

When he finally said something, Han Muzi’s nervousness had slightly dissipated. Since he was willing to talk to her, this showed that she had a chance to explain herself and that he was able to accept her reasoning.

“Yeah, it’s pure coincidence. When I went shopping at the supermarket with Little Bean, I happened to bump into him. You know that Little Bean looks exactly like you. Since he has seen Little Bean, how could he not have known about this?”

They met at the supermarket? Ye Moxuan’s face darkened even more. How is it possible that there is such a coincidence that they met at a supermarket? He started to second guess the reason why Ye Linhan knew about this earlier than him.

Ye Linhan probably knows about this earlier than me. However, how did he figure it out? If he has already known this, then…

He suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously and immediately grabbed Han Muzi’s wrist. “Does he know about this back then?”

His actions were quite rough, and it shocked Han Muzi, who widened her eyes. “You—”

“Tell me.” His voice was quite hoarse.

“Back then?”

She shook her head. “It’s quite impossible! He wouldn’t have known about this before he met Little Bean. On top of that, when he first saw Little Bean, he was quite shocked at the similarities. Maybe he looked into it after that.”

In fact, he did not have to check anything. Ye Linhan probably would not have even known that she was pregnant before she married into the Ye family. Even if he knew that she got pregnant afterward, he would only have thought that this was Ye Moxuan’s child.

“Damn it!” Ye Moxuan gritted his teeth angrily. “He is just a mistress’s child. He has no right to know about this earlier than me! If you had informed me about this earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Han Muzi paused before saying, “It has only been a while since I accepted you. Have you forgotten how you treated me back then? I went to look for you yet you locked me out of the house. Now you want to blame me?! Fine, go ahead! But, are you going to continue ignoring me?”

 

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 678

After she saw that Ye Moxuan was silent again, Han Muzi felt disappointed and smiled bitterly. “I’ve given you three days. Isn’t it enough for you to think it through? Did you think that such matters are more important than us being together?”

Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and stared at her.

Han Muzi took out her phone and passed it to him immediately. “If you can’t get past this, then we—”

“What are you going to say?” His cold voice stopped her mid-sentence.

She raised her head and saw that he had a cruel yet sullen expression to him.

Han Muzi smiled nonchalantly and said in a light tone, “You should be very clear about what I want to say. For the past few days, I didn’t come looking for you because I want to give you some space for you to think without any interruptions. After three days, if you haven’t thought it through, I don’t think you need to do that anymore. First, there’s something I want to make clear to you: I am the one who gave birth to Little Bean. Even though you are his biological father, you can’t take him away.”

Ye Moxuan frowned and looked at her with anger in his eyes. “I beg your pardon?” This woman wants to break up with me?

Even though his expression was fierce, Han Muzi did not try to avoid him and instead looked at him straight in the eyes. “Was I wrong? Throughout the last five years, you have not carried out any responsibilities as a father. You don’t even have the right to be his father!”

Ye Moxuan was silent upon hearing that. His dark pupils dilated out of agitation. After a while, he laughed out of anger. “So, you gave me three days so that I can have my personal space to think. And now you’re here to break up with me? Have you even thought about the consequences, though?”

Han Muzi did not answer him and bit her own lip. She was not here to break up with him. She just wanted to come over to visit him and hear his thoughts. However, she also felt aggrieved upon seeing his stony behavior. For the past three days, he had not given her a call. It was as if he had disappeared. What about me? Is he the only one who feels that he is the victim? Does he think that I don’t have any emotions at all? After all these events, he’s not the only person in the dark. I only learned about this after giving birth to Little Bean, and since then, I have slowly accepted it.

Tears flooded Han Muzi’s eyes, but she returned to her senses and turned around so that her back was facing Ye Moxuan as she didn’t want him to see her.

“Indeed, I have already thought about it. Since you can’t handle this, then forget it. For the past five years, I have been doing perfectly fine on my own. Initially, I didn’t even want to be with you again. If not for—argh!”

Before she finished her sentence, Ye Moxuan’s huge hand grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. He said fiercely, “So, you’re saying that I have been forcing you all along?”

He froze when he saw her clear, beautiful eyes that were full of tears, which caused all the defense that he had built to collapse. “You—”

She’s… crying? Just like this? On top of that, she even looks so miserable. Is… it really like what Xiao Su has said? The person who suffers the most… is her?

Ye Moxuan felt as if something sharp had pierced through his heart and suffocated him. However, she pushed him away before he could even react.

“You are the one who has been forcing me all this while. You are the one who appeared in front of me. I didn’t ask for you to follow me around! Even when I went abroad, you drove me to the airport. Without even asking for my consent, you acknowledged Little Bean as your child just like that, and without giving me a heads up, you just ignored me! Y-You…” Feeling agitated, Han Muzi could no longer hold her tears back.

Without knowing why, Ye Moxuan stretched out his hand to catch her tears.

The tears burned his palm as if they were scorching hot and he felt the pain as well.

In fact, Han Muzi seldom cried. In front of him, even if she felt like crying, she would not let herself shed any tears and her eyes would only turn red. However, at this moment, at this very moment, her eyes were red and raw with tears rolling down her face like a waterfall.

As such, Ye Moxuan felt sorry for her. He bit his teeth and said quite helplessly, “Stop crying, okay?”

When it came to emotions, it was difficult to suddenly turn off one’s feelings like a switch. She had already cried in front of him and his words, even though he tried to comfort her, only made her tears fall down even more.

She did not want to cry in front of him. After all, she had already made her decision, but she could not control herself in the end and this created an illusion that she did not want him to go. Nevertheless, she was not able to control her feelings well.

Out of surprise and anger, she tried her best to avoid his gaze and wanted to shove him away. However, he was a step faster; before she got away from him, he bent down to kiss her.

Han Muzi widened her red, swollen eyes and was at her wits’ end.

Ye Moxuan did not kiss her lips. Instead, his cool lips fell on her cheeks as he kissed her tears away.

Han Muzi stood rooted to the ground. What is wrong with this person suddenly? He has already ignored me for so long yet he is kissing my tears off after watching me cry?

She felt quite nervous and wanted to push him away. But as if he had already known what she was going to do, he caught her hands and placed it on his chest.

Thump! Thump! Han Muzi’s palm felt the thumping of his heart.

Thump! Thump! She felt each thump of his heart through her palms.

Before she understood what Ye Moxuan had been doing, his lips suddenly moved to her eyelids and she closed her eyes in shock.

Kisses as light as feathers fell on her eyelids as Ye Moxuan held her face with his hands and used his thumb to wipe the tears off her cheeks. It was only after a long time that he retreated. Then, he leaned his forehead against hers and looked at her deeply in the eyes.

“For the past three days, even though I was furious, I have never even thought about breaking up with you. Yet, the first thing you mention is to break up with me. Han Muzi, you are cruel indeed.”

Under his profound gaze, Han Muzi blinked nervously. “S-Seeing how you acted, I thought you wanted to break up, so I just fulfilled your wishes.”

Ye Moxuan’s expression darkened when he heard that and he narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I wanted to break up?”

“Wasn’t it so? If I didn’t come to find you, would you do that first?”

His kisses had probably taken their effect as Han Muzi had completely forgotten about her tears and just wanted to argue with him now.

“Who said that I wouldn’t come looking for you?”

“In that case, why did you continue walking even after hearing my voice?”

When she brought this up, Ye Moxuan went silent. He did not possess the courage to tell her that he had missed her so much for the past few days that hearing her voice made him think that he was hallucinating.

“You’ve said it yourself that I’m the one who took the initiative to follow you around shamelessly. How would I ever have thought that you would come to me one day?”

 

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 679

What did he just say? His words stunned Han Muzi and it took her a short while before she reacted to it.

“So… you thought that I won’t find you anymore and that it was all your hallucinations?”

Ye Moxuan’s face darkened a little. He replied to her after a pause, “Hallucination or not, it is not important anymore.”

Han Muzi remained silent.

She had no idea what went on with him because he was hot and cold with her. Until today, Han Muzi still remembered what she had told him. If you can’t give me enough sense of security, stop pestering me.

After she experienced so many things, she was very sensitive. There was one positive side to this—she was able to always put herself in his shoes because of this. She thought that since he always took the initiative before, it was not impossible for her to take the lead for once.

“So… what is important to you? Is it Little Bean?” After she asked that, she continued with another question, “Is is because of Little Bean that you feel that I’m not that important any—”

Before she finished speaking, he pressed his lip to hers. He only kissed the tears on her face in the beginning, but now, he kissed her lips directly. This caught her by surprise and it was a while before she pushed him away subconsciously. “What do you mean by this? Is it fun to play hard to get?”

Ye Moxuan hugged her tightly and blew some air in her ears. “Not fun. It’s not fun at all. For the past few days, it’s been a torture for me… I know you have suffered a lot, but I haven’t completely accepted the news. I have never wanted to break up with you. Even if you don’t come to me, I would have come to you. ”

She finally felt his body warmth through his clothes as Ye Moxuan held her in a tighter embrace. Even though she was a little uncomfortable being held by him this way, it was enough to fill the emptiness in her heart. She simply closed her eyes and returned the hug. Whoever said that a hug was not able to solve the problem? If one hug could not solve the problem, two probably would.

Han Muzi admitted that she was quite annoyed these days. But after she was held so tightly by him, she felt that there was nothing else that mattered when they were together and understood each other.

Without a clue on how long the hug lasted, Ye Moxuan slowly let go of her and whispered, “Do you want to come to my place tonight?”

Han Muzi paused before asking, “What?”

“Or do we go to your place?”

Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that. After she stood still for a while, she finally knew what Ye Moxuan meant. Her face blushed and it took a long time before she stuttered, “Y-Y-Your house.” It’s not quite convenient at my place!

Han Muzi still lived with Yan and Little Bean, so it would not be good if they made noises that were inappropriate for children. She still remembered the embarrassment of being interrupted by Yan the other time. At that time, if there had been a way for her to vanish into thin air, she would have done it without hesitation.

“Good.” After he received her consent, Ye Moxuan swept her off her feet.

Han Muzi exclaimed and stretched out her hand to cling onto his neck. “W-What are you doing? Let me down! I can walk on my own.”

“I’m going to bring you to the car in my arms.”

Han Muzi stopped for a while before saying, “It’s fine—it’s just a short distance away. Plus, I drove here.” After she finished speaking, she shook the car key in her hand to prove her point.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to peck her cheeks. “Just leave it here and drive it back tomorrow.”

She pursed her lips and had no words to refute him, allowing him to carry her to the car. Ye Moxuan fastened her seat belt and drove the car away from the company.

On the way back, Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan’s side-profile. “Did… you forget something? ”

Ye Moxuan stared at the dashboard and glanced sideways at her. He did not seem to understand what went on. Hence, Han Muzi had no choice but to remind him, “Didn’t you plan to pick Little Bean up?”

After hearing her reminder, Ye Moxuan stopped his motion of turning the steering wheel and frowned instead.

It seemed that he had really forgotten about Little Bean from his demeanor. Han Muzi twitched her lips into a slight smile. She originally thought that because he just recognized his son, he would take him seriously. But what’s going on? Has he forgotten about his son after I came to find him?

As the traffic light had just turned red, Ye Moxuan stopped his car and frowned. “I will turn around in a while.”

Han Muzi paused before saying, “You really forgot about it, didn’t you?”

After he heard what she had said, he pursed his thin lips and cleared his throat slightly with his fist in front of his lips.

“I can’t believe this! He is your son, yet you—”

He turned around and stared at her deeply, saying, “Well, you were the one who distracted me.”

Her jaw dropped slightly and she almost could not close her mouth. What does this have to do with me?

“I’ll turn around later.” He did not say anything after this. After all, he did not expect that he would forget about picking Little Bean up after Han Muzi’s arrival. It seems like my mind is easily occupied by her once she appears.

“You don’t have to turn around anymore.” Han Muzi looked at his handsome side-profile exasperatedly. “I’ve already asked Yan to fetch Little Bean before this. If I had to wait for you to remember him, chances are that Little Bean would have already been taken away by human traffickers…”

Ye Moxuan became silent upon hearing that. He massaged his temples to relieve the headache he was feeling, not expecting that he would forget about this. Had Han Muzi not reminded him at the last minute, he probably would have taken her back to Seabay Villa and… left Little Bean at school.

Meanwhile, when Little Bean, who followed Yan in the car, suddenly sneezed, Yan immediately turned her head. “Are you okay, Little Bean? Why did you sneeze suddenly? Have you caught a cold?” With that, she quickly hugged Little Bean. “Now that the weather is getting colder, you should wear more layers of clothes when you go out in the future.”

Little Bean blinked. “Aunt Yan, I am not cold. But my nose was a little itchy just now. Do you think that someone might be scolding me behind my back?”

“Scolding you?” Yan was curious about this. “Who would scold you? You are so cute! Are you referring to your classmates?”

“Uhm… I don’t think so…” Little Bean shook his head and changed the topic. “Aunt Yan, did Mommy really ask you to pick me up?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Or are you already used to staying with your daddy that you don’t want me to pick you up? ”

“No, it is just that I missed Mommy already.”

Yan stretched out her hand and ruffled Little Bean’s hair helplessly before saying, “Be good. Your mommy and daddy need to get closer to each other. Once their relationship is more stable, you will have both your mommy and daddy close to you. Wouldn’t that be great?”

Little Bean replied, “You are probably right.”

“In the meantime, you’d better obediently help me chase your Uncle Qing. A man must hold true to his words, so you’d better keep your promise.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 680

“But, Aunt Yan, will you be able to win Uncle Qing’s heart?” There was a lot of hesitance in his question because he thought that she could not succeed in her quest.

Yan looked at Little Bean and reached out to caress his cheek. “What do you mean? I thought I have you as my powerful assistant. As long as you are willing to help, I can definitely win over his heart!”

Little Bean blinked. It was evident that one could read his emotions just by looking at his eyes.

“Alright. We are arriving at Uncle Qing’s company. Just remember to help me out.”

…

On the other hand, after Ye Moxuan heard that Han Muzi had made arrangements for Little Bean, he did not turn around and instead drove to the direction of Seabay Villa.

She had only visited Seabay Villa once after returning to the country. Both of them still had not reconciled the last time she was at Seabay Villa for the design project. Time flew so quickly.

The breeze at night was chilly due to the villa’s proximity to the sea. Han Muzi sat on the wooden plank in her pajamas and stared at the sea under the moonlight, her emotions gradually calming down.

The calm aura of the sea at night possessed the ability to soothe one’s emotions, but it was just as turbulent once there were high tides. As the breeze picked up speed, Han Muzi felt a little cold and wrapped her arms around herself before she huddled herself up. It did little to keep the cold away. The breeze was much stronger and cold here than it was in the city. Just as and when she was about to return to the villa, a tall figure sat next to her and draped a warm coat on her.

She glanced sideways and noticed that it was a freshly showered Ye Moxuan beside her. His skin was a little flushed from the hot shower and his thin lips were tightly pressed together with his hair dripping with water.

Han Muzi frowned. “Why didn’t you dry your hair first?” The breeze is so strong. Does he think that he is made from iron?

Ye Moxuan’s eyes shone brightly as he said in a flat tone, “It’s okay. I have a strong body, but look at you. Don’t you know that you should wear more layers when you’re sitting here at night?”

She shrugged. “If I feel cold, I’ll enter the villa on my own.”

“But you, on the other hand, just finished your shower, or—” she said as she got up, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

“Hey!” His movement was a little rough, sending her into his arms. When her soft cheeks slammed into his chest, she screamed out in pain.

As he had just taken his shower, his body still had the fragrance of the soap and it felt warm in his embrace. The chill that she felt quickly dissipated as a result of being hugged.

“What’s wrong?” Han Muzi asked after noticing that something was off about him.

He lowered his head and buried his head in her neck. Droplets of water dripped from his hair onto her neck, causing her to subconsciously shiver. She heard him whispering his apology when she tried to push him away. “I’m sorry.”

Han Muzi was stunned as she thought that she had heard it wrongly. He… is saying sorry to me now?

The whisper came from her neck, but it was quite muffled because his thin lips were pressed against her skin, so she could not hear it clearly. She merely tried to identify the exact words that he had said based on his tone.

“Are you… apologizing to me?” she asked, feeling incredulous.

His hands reached to her waist and held her slender waist as his voice became hoarse. “Yes, I am. Will you forgive me?”

She thought for a while and said, “Because of what has happened these few days?”

He did not give a definitive answer and instead hugged her tightly. She felt that there was something he wanted to say, so she did not ask him again. She just allowed him to hold her in the silence, listening to his strong heartbeat while waiting for him to speak.

Only the sound of the evening breeze, the waves crashing against the beach and the sound of their breathing were heard on a quiet night like this.

His embrace made Han Muzi feel that she was no longer cold. She leaned in his arms and waited until she was about to fall asleep before he broke the silence. “From now onward, I will give you all my trust.”

It was not easy for both of them to reach their current stage. If trust was not established between the both of them, their relationship could collapse soon.

“Do you mean… all of your trust?” The trust between Ye Moxuan and I? We don’t really spend much time together. If we are able to give each other a little more trust, we probably wouldn’t have gotten to this point in the first place. This is like five years ago…

“Okay. Even if you know something in the future, you are not allowed to suspect me anymore.” Han Muzi thought for a while before she concurred.

He nodded with a smile. “I will give you all of my trust in the future. Even if I die, I would not doubt you anymore. But…” He suddenly changed the topic. “You still have to stay away from Ye Linhan. What I told you at the airport before was true. ”

“I know.” Han Muzi nodded. “I will keep a distance from him.”

After she knew Ye Linhan’s identity and Ye Moxuan’s past, she felt that it would be too fake if there were no animosity between the brothers.

Ye Moxuan’s behavior had always been normal, but Ye Linhan, on the other hand… He had always looked like a gentleman. Although he had never said anything bad about Ye Moxuan in front of her, his actions looked as if he intended to separate her and Ye Moxuan. His thoughts on this were very clear.

Han Muzi closed her eyes and secretly made a decision. She did not want to be the victim between the two brothers and she did not want Ye Moxuan to be in a difficult position. If the two of them wanted to fight, she would just let them do so—fair and square.

“Why did you suddenly become so obedient?” Ye Moxuan let go of her and pinched her chin.

Han Muzi blushed and bit her lower lips as she glared at him. His eyes were dim and his thin lips twitched into a slight smirk. “After I have been neglecting you for three days, you realized that you still care about me very much, and—”

Before he finished speaking, she interrupted him. “Enough. Are you very proud of yourself because I took the initiative to come to you first?”

He leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers as he softly laughed. “What do I have to be proud of? Who was the one who came to find me but gave in after less than a few words? If it wasn’t me who held you back, you would have run off earlier.”

Han Muzi retaliated, “Who asked you to play hard to get each time?”

“I won’t do it again.” Ye Moxuan held her cheeks with both his hands. His black irises were quite clear and bright in the night as he brought his face closer to her, huffing his warm breath on her face.

“All my passion will be given to you in the future,” he said.

His eyes blazed with fire. On top of that, the close distance between them made her blink as she couldn’t resist him. He kissed her passionately when she wanted to get away from him.
