Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 771
Would I then be able to meet Ye Moxuan? At this point, Han Muzi subconsciously touched her belly—she was starving. At the same time, she knew that she should probably head home right away to eat something and take a shower so that she could get some rest. After all, staying up late was not a good thing for pregnant women. However… in comparison, being able to see Ye Moxuan seemed to be a more attractive option. Alas, to her, Ye Moxuan was more important than anything else.
Seeing the look in her eyes, George knew that he had hit the nail on the head. He instantly put on a proud smile. “This is such a rare opportunity. Are you not coming along?”
Han Muzi hesitantly looked at George with a little bit of doubt.
George was afraid that she would not buy it, so he took out his phone and showed it to her. “I was just on the phone with Yuchi to invite him over for supper, and he has agreed to it. Weren’t you working late tonight? It’s so late; aren’t you hungry? Let’s go get some food, then we’ll bring you home.”
He had been upfront about this and also had a thorough understanding of the company. Furthermore, he seemed to be quite close to Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi was tempted. She did indeed want to have more interactions with Ye Moxuan, as she might be able to stimulate and cause him to recall his memories quicker.
“But…” Though tempted, she still seemed slightly hesitant. At the end of the day, she was only an employee of the company. It would look strange if she were to leave right now to get supper.
“No ‘buts’’. You are overthinking. The clock is ticking. Let’s go now.” George did not leave her with any time to consider. He immediately grabbed her by her hand, opened the car door, and pushed her into the car. His actions were considerably gentle toward Han Muzi, who finally got into the car after some effort. George then closed the door and hopped into the driver’s seat. A while later, he let out a smile and said, “Here we go.”
Han Muzi nodded without saying a word. As the car was moving on the broad and smooth road, she looked at the lights and skyline through the window. To be honest, these lights and scenery were not much different from the ones back home. The only difference was the people around her.
While George was driving, he took a quick look at Han Muzi through the rearview mirror. He noticed that she was indeed more beautiful than he thought. She might not be the stunning kind who would make your jaw drop the first time you met her, but she was able to cause your appreciation of her beauty to increase every time you saw her.
Her eyes, in particular, were so tranquil they seemed indifferent. They were like an icy spring. Although it was cold, it was calm and drew people to it. People might have the urge to stir it… but they would still be reluctant to do it.
Well. George murmured in his heart that for Yuchi Shen to fall for a woman, she had to be someone special. Initially, he thought she was merely a woman with a decent appearance and body figure, but now, after observing her, he felt that there was something more. She was calm, peaceful, and composed. At this juncture, George started to get curious about her identity. “How long have you known Yuchi?”
Ever since Han Muzi got in the car, she had been quiet, as she was not in the mood to speak with him. She was just looking out the window, thinking about what to say and how to react to Ye Moxuan later. These matters were more than enough to keep her distracted.
All of a sudden, the male voice in the car brought Han Muzi back to her senses. She yelped and then turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.
George looked at her confused look. It was as if she had just noticed his presence. He was rendered speechless. He wanted to get upset at her. Even though he wanted to give her a ride, ever since she got in the car, it felt like she never noticed his presence. Why is she acting like Yuchi Shen?
Fortunately, Han Muzi was much better than Yuchi Shen. After coming back to her senses, George saw her purse her lips before she forced a gentle smile on her face. “What do you mean?”
Seeing this, George let out a sigh and thought that she did look pretty good when she smiled. Distracted, he licked his lips. “Stop pretending. How can you be so close with Yuchi if you haven’t known him for a long time?”
Han Muzi did not know how to respond.
“Even though I haven’t known Yuchi for too long, one thing I know for sure is that… he would never fall for just any woman. You are the first woman I have met that he has fallen for.”
Upon hearing these words, Han Muzi was not sure if she should be happy or upset. She thought that since Ye Moxuan had returned to his old self, it should be much more difficult for her to approach him again. On the other hand, she was somewhat glad that he was like this. Otherwise… he would be accepting every woman who came up to him, and she would have had a lot more competitors.
“Based on what I’ve just said, don’t you have any thoughts?” George thought his words would in some ways provoke or excite her. Who knew that she would still just sit there calmly with her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes were covering her beautiful eyes. It seemed like she was deep in thought.
Hearing George’s question, she looked up. “What thoughts can I have? What happened between him and I is not what you think it is.” She knew that George had regarded her as one of the women who had fallen for Yuchi Shen, or one who had spent a lot of time with him.
She admitted that, indeed, she still loved Ye Moxuan, and that feeling was mutual, just that Ye Moxuan had temporarily lost his memory. As it was difficult to explain all these, she would never say anything in detail to George.
“Not what I think it is? So what is it?” George was extremely curious. “It’s my first time seeing Yuchi treat a woman like that. Please stop lying and tell me what your relationship with Yuchi is—to help satisfy my curiosity.”
Han Muzi gently smiled. She knew that as long as she was not giving him any answers, he would not give up questioning her. After some thought, she decided to throw the question back at him. “If you want to know, I think I am not the best person to ask. You should ask Yuchi Shen instead.”
Looking sour, George responded, “Are you asking me to go and ask him?” Forget it. He was not bold enough to ask Yuchi Shen this question; even if he was, would Yuchi Shen answer him? He might just throw a cold glance at him and ask him to ‘f*ck off’.
The thought of this happening annoyed George. However, his chance was here tonight. George realized he had finally found leverage to be used against Yuchi Shen. He stopped the conversation with Han Muzi and quietly sent Ye Moxuan a message on WeChat while he was waiting at the traffic light. ‘Your woman is in my car!’
After sending it out, George had a malicious smirk on his face while he put his phone away. He was having so much fun. As long as Yuchi Shen saw his text and decided to show up, he would be able to… Hahaha!
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 772
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got. George even felt that he could make a fool out of Yuchi Shen as revenge for telling on him.
After some time, Han Muzi looked at the watch on her wrist and wondered why they had not arrived after being on the road for twenty minutes. Why did they have to travel so far just for supper? She looked at George and asked, “Is the place we’re having supper at very far?”
George waved his hand while driving. “Not far. Not far at all. It’s right around the corner. We’ll be there in no time. Don’t worry. If we happen to stay until late, I’ll bring you home. I won’t let you get hurt.”
He looked like an upright person, so he did not cause Han Muzi to be skeptical.
After a couple of minutes, the car came to a stop. George helped Han Muzi out of the car, passed the key to the valet, and took Han Muzi in. “Let’s go. We’re here.”
Han Muzi stood there and looked at her surroundings; her face suddenly changed. “Is this the supper place that you were talking about?”
Without noticing that her face had changed, he mindlessly nodded his head. “Yes. This is the place.”
Han Muzi’s face fell. She tightened her lips and stood there, unmoving. George curiously turned over and looked at her. “Let’s go.”
“I’m not going.” Without any hesitation, Han Muzi immediately turned around and left, leaving no time for George to react.
When he got back to his senses, she was already far away. He quickly ran to catch up with her. “Oh my goodness, how can you just walk away like that? I spent half an hour on the road just to get here.” George stood in her way, stopping her from walking any further.
Han Muzi stared at him unemotionally. “You didn’t ask Yuchi Shen out, and you’re not here to buy me supper.”
To his surprise, he was exposed. But, given the kind of person George was, he was used to being in this kind of situation, so he knew how to respond to her. “Of course I am. I’m here to buy you supper.”
“Eating supper at a place like this?”
George nodded confidently. “Of course it’s at a place like this. That’s what we do here in this country… Yuchi Shen is the same. Have you never heard him talk about this before?”
Han Muzi did not know how to respond. The confident look on his face made her feel like she was an alien to this unfamiliar culture, and so she started to doubt herself. Perhaps she had misunderstood him. She frowned and looked around once again. “What is there to eat at a place like this?”
George smiled and gently explained to her, “You have no idea. Is this your first time coming to a place like this when you’re abroad? This place has everything—not just supper. Even if you want to eat breakfast now, they will be able to make you some.”
Han Muzi did not know what to say. That’s one hell of a bar. Precisely. George had brought Han Muzi to a bar. Places like these with all their bright lights were not somewhere that Han Muzi had been to a lot.
It was not that she disliked places like this; it was just that she rarely had any spare time. She also felt that adults should exercise more self-control.
“Let’s go. Let me bring you in.” While she was still trying to process everything, George had dragged Han Muzi in. After entering the bar, Han Muzi realized that this place was quite clean, and everything inside was different from what she had imagined. Even though the music that was playing was loud, everyone else was properly seated at their seats, drinking. Unless it was consensual, nobody would try to go up and take someone away.
“Not anyone can be here.” Seeing that she was contemplating, George decided to explain to her by saying, “You have to be someone well-off to be able to be here. Everyone knows that whatever happens here is consensual; nobody would dare to go overboard.”
Based on what George had just said, Han Muzi could tell that he was experienced and was obviously a regular in this bar. He seemed to be familiar with all the rules here as well. The thought that he and Yuchi Shen frequented this place made Han Muzi frown.
Did George start bringing Ye Moxuan to this place after he lost his memory—to look for some consensual “fun”?
Han Muzi asked, “Did you say earlier that… Yuchi Shen also comes here with you a lot?”
George took a step back. Seeing her frowning eyebrows, he knew exactly what was on her mind. Truth be told, Yuchi Shen had only come here with him once, and he left right after he had a couple of drinks. It was obvious that he was uninterested in places like this. But of course, when he was here, many women came up to him and surrounded him trying to hit on him.
Rather than saying Yuchi Shen was uninterested in this place, it was perhaps better to say that he left because of those women. Nevertheless, George would never say these things to Han Muzi. He quickly waved his hand instead and replied, “It’s no big deal. He only comes here occasionally. Please don’t think too much about it.”
His hesitation to say the whole story intrigued Han Muzi to find out the real truth. It seemed like Ye Moxuan did come here often, and George was just covering for him.
Han Muzi felt a little annoyed and followed George to the second floor with a serious look on her face.
“We have a private room and it’s right around the corner.” As he was speaking, he brought her to a room, opened the door, and entered.
A pungent alcohol smell came at them the moment they entered the room. Han Muzi almost passed out as a result of that, so she quickly took a step back.
“What’s going on?” George turned around and looked at her.
“The smell of alcohol here is too strong.” She wrinkled her nose.
George looked at the inside of the room and smiled. “I will keep the door open for the smell to go away. I will ask them to stop drinking. Please don’t be afraid; let’s go in.”
Since they were already here, Han Muzi had no choice but to go in with George. She frowned while she was walking in, and the thought of Ye Moxuan visiting places like these lingered in her mind. Why would someone who cares so much about his hygiene and is a germaphobe come to such a messy place?
When everyone else saw George, no one paid attention to him. But, the moment they saw he had a woman behind him who was dressed conservatively without any make-up on and a head full of dark hair, they were all stunned.
“My God. Young Master George, did your taste change? Since when are you into women of this kind?”
“Of course. He’s probably sick of the sexy and hot ones and is now into someone pure and innocent. Just that…” A man with his hand under his chin let out a perverted smile. “Is she the same kind of person on the inside?”
Han Muzi was shocked by these words. She looked toward where the voice came from and saw a Caucasian man sitting indecently with a sexy-looking girl in his arms. He was speaking English, as he thought that since Han Muzi was Chinese, she would not understand him. Perhaps that was why he spoke in an unrestrained manner.
George was frightened. He was merely testing Yuchi Shen and had no intention of getting involved with the woman that Yuchi Shen had a relationship with. Otherwise… he might get in trouble in the future.
He immediately denied it and said, “What’re you talking about? This woman belongs to Yuchi Shen.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 773
He was not too loud, but loud enough for everyone there to hear it. His words silenced the room that was rowdy moments ago.
George did not seem to be surprised. He proceeded to lead Han Muzi to a cleaner spot and sit down. “You may sit here.”
After Han Muzi was seated, she felt all the eyes in the room were on her. Some were curious; some were admirable; while some were skeptical.
George then shouted, “Everyone, let’s stop drinking for a moment. Muzi right here is not used to the alcohol smell. I will just keep the door open for now so that the smell can go away.” He quickly asked everyone to put down their glasses.
Yuchi Shen’s name was like a heavy-duty explosive that blew everyone up. Although they looked calm on the surface, no one was bold enough to say a word in response. Amidst everything, Han Muzi seemingly heard a lady murmur.
“What? Yuchi Shen’s woman? Does Yuchi Shen fall for this kind of woman? She looks boring. What is she doing here?”
“That’s right. We all know that Yuchi Shen does not fall for any woman. George… are you sure you aren’t bluffing?”
George responded, “Damn it. Why would I lie to you? If you don’t buy it, you can ask her yourselves.”
No one dared to respond. When Han Muzi still had not seen Ye Moxuan, she felt that she had fallen into a trap. She questioned George, “Didn’t you tell me he’s going to be here? Where is he?”
George smiled and answered, “Don’t worry. He’s on his way here. Let me give him a call right now and ask him when he’s going to be here.”
His words sounded truthful but still left her skeptical. George quickly left the room to make a phone call.
The moment he left the room, the people who were asking the questions earlier came up to her and started asking her more questions in English, “Are you seeing Yuchi Shen? George is not lying to us, is he?”
Han Muzi did not know how to respond. All these questions gave her a headache, as she was wondering how she was supposed to answer all of them. Han Muzi pursed her lips and let out a gentle smile; she had decided to not respond to them.
On the other side, George unlocked his phone after leaving the room and found no notifications. He had not heard anything from Ye Moxuan. Damn it. Why is this different from our arrangement? Yuchi Shen was supposed to question him immediately after receiving his text message. Either that, or he was supposed to come here right away.
Why is he not responding? Has he not seen my text? George was not going to give up as he had already gone to the trouble to bring Han Muzi here. So, he dialed Yuchi Shen’s number. It took a long time before the phone was answered. Yuchi Shen sounded hoarse and exhausted. “What’s the matter?”
George was taken by surprise. He was sure that this jerk did not see his text message. “Yuchi Shen, did you see my text on WeChat?”
Ye Moxuan did not respond to his question. Instead, he replied in an unemotional way, “Please don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important. I’m hanging up now.”
“Hold on. I have something important to tell you!” George called him out and replied, “Your woman is here with me.”
Ye Moxuan was stunned by what he had just said.
“Your woman. Do you hear me?” George let out a satisfying smile as he uttered this sentence. “Do you remember the assistant to that secretary of yours in the office? That’s her. I told her I was bringing her here for supper—who knew she would actually come along. Yuchi Shen, are you sure you’re not coming to bring her home?”
The phone clicked.
George thought that these words would upset him as he had conveniently skipped the part of how he tried to persuade Han Muzi to come with him and jumped right into telling him that Han Muzi had come here with him willingly. It was as if he was saying to him ‘Hey, your woman is with me. If you are upset, come and get her now.’
He thought he might be able to hear his angry voice over the phone, but shortly after, all he heard was the phone getting disconnected.
George was extremely puzzled. What’s happening? Did he just hang up on me? That’s not possible. Doesn’t he care about that little assistant? If he doesn’t, why did he pin her against the wall in the office the other day? Why would his first response be to hang up the phone when he heard that his woman has gone with another man?
George instantly felt upset. “So that’s brotherhood.”
At this moment, someone came up from the back—it was the Caucasian man who was making perverted comments earlier. He put his hand around George’s shoulders and asked, “Is that chick that you brought really Yuchi Shen’s woman?”
Recalling how Yuchi Shen hung up on him earlier made George a little sad. “I-I’m not too sure now.” If she was not someone Yuchi Shen loved, why would he pin her against the wall? Furthermore, why would he take revenge on him after he made some cynical comments about her? Even then, the moment he heard that she had come to the bar with him, he did not even ask which bar it was; all he did was hang up the phone. Is this even normal?
“Not too sure?” The Caucasian man smirked. “That means she’s not Yuchi Shen’s. I knew that someone like Yuchi Shen… would never fall for a woman like her.” He touched his chin and started pondering about something. “She looks quite pure and innocent, however… I’m not sure… she’s really like that.”
These words sound… George immediately became alarmed and he turned to look at him. “What’re you going to do? Don’t tell me…”
That man smiled lustfully. “Nothing. Just curious.” He then patted George on his shoulder and went back into the room.
George felt that something was not right, as he knew that he and that man were very similar, though he himself was slightly more upright. He would never force anyone to have fun with him. After all, having fun was all about mutual willingness.
But that man was not the same. Whenever he found prey, he would do whatever it’d take to catch it. So many young female college students had already fallen victim to his tactics, yet he was still relentless. The thought of this worried George.
Since he brought her here—although Yuchi Shen was not going to show up anymore—he had to bring her home safely. If anything happened to her here, he would be… in big trouble. From all the times he had spent with Yuchi Shen, George knew well that he was not this kind of man. Even though he did not know what happened to Yuchi Shen that turned him around all of a sudden, it was still better… for him to leave here as soon as possible. He then quickly went back to the cubicle.
Meanwhile, after the Caucasian man had gone back, he started plotting something. He poured a glass of beer and quietly added something into it. He started walking toward Han Muzi while shaking the glass that was in his hand.
At that point, Han Muzi was surrounded by a group of ladies who were endlessly asking her questions.
“Yuchi Shen is such a gorgeous man. How did you both end up together?”
“By the way, do you have his phone number? Would you like to give him a call and ask him to come over and have some fun with us? We have not seen Young Master Yuchi for a long time.”
Han Muzi responded, “I’m sorry. I can’t help you.”
“Why not? Don’t you have his phone number? Aren’t you seeing each other?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 774
Han Muzi was annoyed by this group of people. The overpowering perfume smell on them, while they were surrounding her, was unbearable, not to mention the horrible alcohol smell in the cubicle. She felt like she was poisoned by the smell. All she could think about was leaving, but George had not returned yet. Is Ye Moxuan going to be here?
Han Muzi suddenly felt that she had been deceived. Why would Ye Moxuan be at a place that was so packed with people and smelled like perfume, alcohol, and cigarettes? At this point, Han Muzi had decided to leave. She smiled and gently said, “Please excuse me. I need to use the bathroom.” She could also check up on George and speak with him.
No one would have known that the moment she got up, a hand landed on her arm, pulling her back down to her seat. “Don’t be in such a rush. George is only out there making a phone call. Do you want to be out there with him too?” This was spoken in not so fluent Mandarin.
Han Muzi looked over in the direction where the voice came from and realized that it was the Caucasian guy who commented on her when she first walked in. This time, he raised his eyebrows and sat down directly next to her, shaking a glass of beer in his hand. His lustful eyes rested on her.
Han Muzi frowned as his words earlier had made her extremely comfortable. Now, he was sitting right next to her, looking at her in a lecherous manner.
What does he want? She had no smile on her face, and her voice also sounded cold and indifferent. “Mister, I can understand English.”
He was stunned for a few moments before he went on to shrug his shoulders. “So what?”
So what? The man was shameless. Han Muzi felt sorry for this person—who was not a proper person judging by the way he was looking at her.
She would not allow herself to stay there for any longer. Reluctant to even spare him another look, Han Muzi immediately got up and ignored him. However, the Caucasian man grabbed her by her wrist.
“Hands off.” Han Muzi tried to break his grip.
However, the Caucasian man’s hand was warm and sweaty while he stared at her lustfully. “Why are you in such a rush? I reckon… you have nothing to do with Yuchi Shen, do you?”
Han Muzi was holding in the urge to slap him in the face. “Mister, please let go of me.” As she was getting upset, there were ripples in her calm eyes—it was like a stone had been thrown into a tranquil lake. Although ripples had formed, it still looked beautiful.
The Caucasian man was always involved with hot and sexy women, though he preferred ones that were purer and simpler, especially college students. But some of them did not have the best body figures, and that turned him off.
His proximity to Han Muzi had enabled him to see the body figure under her simple and pure look—it was one that would get someone excited. Besides, her getting upset right now had turned him on. He had a feeling that if he was able to get her into bed, tonight would be a wonderful night. Having determined what he was going to do, there was no way the Caucasian guy would ever let her go.
“Why are you mad? Since you’re already here, come and sit with us and have a couple of drinks with us.” He went on to pass the beer glass in his hand to her. “I will allow you to sit once you finish this. Is that alright?”
Han Muzi did not know what to say. She was still trying to hold it in, and she did not take the beer glass from him either.
Right at this point, George returned. Seeing what was going on, he quickly went in between the two and tried to pull the Caucasian man away from her, but he would not let go.
George began to get upset. He stared at him and said with a low voice, “Are you out of your mind? She’s Yuchi Shen’s woman.”
The Caucasian man ignored him and jokingly commented, “That’s just coming from you.” He then looked toward Han Muzi. Under the lighting in this room, Han Muzi looked a lot more beautiful than he had imagined. The more he looked at her, the more delighted he became.
“Yuchi Shen didn’t admit it himself, plus…” He paused and continued, “Have you called Yuchi Shen? Is he here already?”
George replied, “Who says he’s not coming?”
The Caucasian man looked confident. “Alright then. Give Yuchi Shen another call in front of us, and let this woman talk to him. Let’s see if he’s still coming.”
George was caught off guard. Damn it! Was he not putting him in a difficult position? Yuchi Shen had hung up on him after he told him earlier that his assistant was here. If he were to give Yuchi Shen a call in front of everyone, wouldn’t that only embarrass Han Muzi? He could not do that.
George became enraged and yelled, “I meant it when I said she belonged to Yuchi Shen. You know what kind of person Yuchi Shen is, don’t you? If he hasn’t fallen for her, would I dare say this to you?”
The crowd instantly went silent. What he said did indeed make sense. Again, the crowd looked at Han Muzi and felt that it was nearly impossible for Yuchi Shen to fall for her. At this point, some of them had decided to make things worse.
“Whatever! It doesn’t really matter whether or not you belong to Yuchi Shen. Even if you don’t, we won’t laugh at you either. But… you can’t lie to us. If you two are seeing each other, you have to give him a call in front of us, and let him speak to confirm your identity. Isn’t that simple enough?”
A woman with a skinny waist stood up and maliciously stared at Han Muzi, waiting for the latter to embarrass herself.
Han Muzi knew their intentions, so she smiled with her red lips and commented, “I don’t have to report to any of you what’s going on between him and I, do I? And neither do I have to let you guys know whoever Yuchi Shen is seeing, right?”
Her bold words startled everyone in the cubicle. They threw a glance at each other.
Han Muzi still had her gaze fixed on the Caucasian man, then she unemotionally said, “I’ll give you one last chance; let go of me.” Her cold words and the cruel look on her resembled Yuchi Shen in every sense, and that had somehow convinced the crowd about her relationship with Yuchi Shen.
George was greatly perplexed. He was wrong in thinking that Yuchi Shen would be here; otherwise, he would never dare to bring Han Muzi to a place like this. However, the Caucasian man was still very certain that she had nothing to do with Yuchi Shen. At this point, he still had not let go of her even after her threat. Conversely, he was still looking at her with his eyes full of lust.
“Hmph! Last chance? Let’s do it this way then: I’ll ask you a question, and I’ll let you go if you can answer me. How does that sound?”
Seeing how he was still not giving up, Han Muzi had already noticed the glass of beer behind her.
Slyly, the Caucasian man continued, “George says you belong to Yuchi Shen. So, tell me—have you slept with Yuchi Shen?”
Then, there was silence.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 775
The whole cubicle went silent. This was because Han Muzi suddenly reached out to the glass of beer that was closest to her and splashed it on the Caucasian man’s face.
The beer on his face rolled down his cheeks. As the crowd witnessed this they all became quiet. They had probably been surprised by what Han Muzi did. They did not expect that despite looking quiet and harmless, she would actually splash a glass of beer at him out of anger.
Han Muzi still had the empty glass in her hand and she stared at the face of the now drenched Caucasian man. “Now, can you let go?”
George’s eyes widened as shock flashed across his face. This assistant… has got guts!
The Caucasian man was also stunned while he slightly loosened his grip. Han Muzi quickly escaped him and walked out of the room.
Seeing she was about to leave, a figure stormed to stand in her way. It was the Caucasian man. He roughly wiped off the beer on his face with his bare hands and let out a barbarous chortle. “You splash beer all over me and decide to leave just like that?”
Even though he was standing right in front of her, Han Muzi was not terrified. She simply stared at him and said, “What else do you want?” After behaving so inappropriately, how could he still expect her to be nice to him?
The Caucasian man had never been treated by a woman in such a way before, moreover in front of so many people. Nevertheless, she was not afraid, and this had caused him to feel embarrassed. “You splashed beer all over me in front of so many people. If you don’t redeem yourself, there’s no way you can leave this place tonight.”
“Redeem myself?” Han Muzi repeated these two words in her mouth. Her eyes began to look cold. “Are you even worthy of that?”
“Alright then.” The Caucasian man came closer to her and bent over slightly. He lustfully looked at her while looking drunk. “It’s fine if you don’t. Just stay here and have some fun with me tonight.”
Han Muzi replied, “F*ck off.”
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can either do it the easy way or the hard way’. It seems like we’ll have to do it the hard way.”
Han Muzi laughed coldly and said, “There’s also another saying that goes—I’m giving you face but you’re being an ungrateful animal.”
“How dare you!” Finally, the Caucasian man had stopped arguing with her. He abruptly grabbed Han Muzi by her chin and chugged the drink in the beer glass down her throat. It was the same beer glass that he had added something into earlier.
Han Muzi was shocked. She quickly pushed him away by much force and backed up. She looked terrified. She was a pregnant lady now. Who knew what he might have added into that drink?
Seeing that she finally looked terrified, the Caucasian man smiled evilly. “Since you didn’t want to drink it that way, let me use another way to help you drink it.” After that, he slowly finished the drink in the beer glass and threw it to the side. He was now unbuttoning his suit jacket and getting ready to walk over to Han Muzi.
George could no longer tolerate it anymore. Just as he was about to walk over…
Bang! In the next second, the Caucasian was seen being thrown at the cabinet at the back of the room. It was a heavy and loud hit.
The Caucasian man let out a moan as he kneeled in pain. He was cursing under his breath while he lifted his head. “Which son of a b*tch dared to kick me…” As he lifted his head, he saw a pair of furious eyes. The Caucasian man was horrified and stunned.
“That’s Yuchi Shen!” someone in the cubicle shouted.
“Oh my God, Yuchi Shen is here…”
“Is she really Yuchi Shen’s woman?”
“I’m so jealous. How did she get so lucky?”
Yuchi Shen was wearing a casual sweater with a coat over him that he grabbed on his way out; he looked casual but still gorgeous. However, what was intense about him right now was the chilly vibe that he emanated. He was staring at the Caucasian man like he was staring at a dead man.
“Yuchi Shen, I…” The only thought that crossed his mind when he saw the cold eyes on Yuchi Shen’s face was that everything was over.
The f*ck. Didn’t George say he was not coming after he spoke with him on the phone? Why did he suddenly show up? What’s going on? The Caucasian man panicked and was utterly incapable of coping with what was unfolding before his eyes.
George then ran up to Yuchi Shen like a submissive pet. “So… about this…” He quickly opened his mouth to utter something, not entirely sure how to explain it to Yuchi Shen.
“Were you trying to make her drunk earlier?” Yuchi Shen cracked his head; half of his face was hiding in the shadows. He looked terrifying.
“I-I was just gonna have some drinks with her to befriend her. I meant no harm.”
“Really?” Yuchi Shen let out an eerie, blood-freezing smile. “That’s very nice of you. George, make sure you treat him well tonight.”
“What do you mean?” George asked.
Yuchi Shen signaled him with his eyes and George immediately got the message. “Understood. Servers, immediately bring over all the alcohol that you have.”
George knew that he had to be the bad guy right now. Even though he had not known Yuchi Shen for too long, he felt he still understood him quite well. Since he brought them all here, if he did not come forward and do something at this point, he might end up the same as the Caucasian man.
As Yuchi Shen was still coldly looking at George, the latter approached him and quietly asked, “Didn’t you f*cking hang up on me?”
Yuchi Shen started walking toward Han Muzi, who was still in shock, without even looking at George. Meanwhile, Han Muzi, who was hiding in the corner, attempted to leave, as she was unable to process everything that was taking place. This was until a tall and well-built figure stood in front of her and remarked, “Why aren’t you leaving? Are you planning to stay here and wait to be made drunk?”
Han Muzi did not respond. Her pink lips moved slightly as if she was about to say something, but decided not to. Even though she wanted to leave, her legs would not allow her to. Her chest felt warm. It was like something was about to blow up in her chest.
“Why are you zoning out?” Yuchi Shen squinted and looked at her unhappily. He sounded harsh, had sharp eyes, and was not gentle at all.
But the moment he showed up, Han Muzi completely lost it. Her nose began to turn red and before she realized it, her eyes had become watery. When Yuchi Shen saw that, he thought it was because of what the Caucasian man did. He became even more irritated and looked at her with an increasingly fierce look.
Yuchi Shen could not help but go up to her right away and stuck his thick arms around her skinny waist to lift her.
“Oh.” Han Muzi choked for a moment before she reflexively put both of her arms around his neck.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 776
She was feeling extremely cold, though she was not sure if it was because of the cold weather outside or because she was starving. After she wrapped her arms around Ye Moxuan’s neck, both their bodies leaned against each other intimately. His body was exceptionally warm even through the layers of clothes. Compared to her, one was like ice while the other was like fire.
Yuchi Shen realized she was very light when he carried her. Her waist was so thin that it could be broken with one hand, and… her body was as cold as a block of ice. He frowned and ignored everyone else. He then turned around and left the cubicle with Han Muzi in his arms.
The people who were left in the room looked at each other. Some of them could not help but rub their eyes. “Am I seeing this correctly? Is that person… really Yuchi?”
“Damn. Why is that woman so lucky?”
The server George called brought over all the alcohol—dozens after dozens. Even though he did not know what happened here… the bar was still earning money. Moreover, it was under his tab, so he could get a hefty commission from this. It was only natural for him to perform diligently. He even went over to George after he was almost done serving. “Sir, we’re almost done serving all the alcohol.”
George passed the waiter his credit card from his wallet and said frivolously, “Swipe my card. After that, go get a few people and restrain that person over there. Pour all this wine into his mouth.”
The server was stunned after he took the card. “What?”
George was losing his patience. “What’s with your reaction? Can’t you do it?”
The waiter reconfirmed, saying, “No, what I mean is… he’ll die if we pour all this wine into his mouth, won’t he?” If this man was going to die here, would it not cause a lot of trouble?
George thought about it, then said, “How about this… As long as he’s alive, it doesn’t matter how much I pour it into his mouth. I just want him to drink since he likes treating other people to drinks.”
The Caucasian man gritted his teeth and looked at him. “George, aren’t you going to help me?”
Taking a step backward, George said, “What am I supposed to help you with? Haven’t I warned you before that she’s Yuchi Shen’s woman? I told you not to play with fire, didn’t I? Were you even listening to me? Since you’ve offended Yuchi Shen, even if you don’t pay the price today, you’ll have to in the future.”
The Caucasian man instantly felt helpless after hearing this. George is right… He was only forced to drink alcohol today. Worst case scenario, he would only end up losing it in the toilet. This was just a small matter. If he did not accept his punishment today, in the future…
However, based on Yuchi Shen’s temper, the woman might be someone who meant a lot to him, since he was willing to start a fight with him today. His intestines twisted with regret when he thought about his future.
…
Han Muzi was carried out. She was leaning warmly in the arms of Ye Moxuan, her heart filled with satisfaction from smelling his familiar scent. Does this count as a blessing in disguise for me? Initially, she thought she would never see him again. From thinking that she would never meet him again to now being in his arms…
It had been more than a month since they last hugged each other, but it felt like an eternity. Closing her eyes, Han Muzi’s hands unconsciously held him tighter and tighter as her body leaned closer to him. She was particularly clingy toward Ye Moxuan.
Of course, this behavior of Han Muzi did not go unnoticed. This woman had been grabbing onto him since he carried her, and their intimacy was as if they were a couple. Now she seemed to be taking advantage of him by leaning ever closer to him. Ye Moxuan lowered his head and saw that her lashes were trembling softly. However, he did not find this annoying…
He thought that the woman should just obediently stay in his arms despite him being a germaphobe. This small, obedient, and vulnerable feeling in his arms made his heart tremble.
Ye Moxuan did not know what was wrong with him, but he started moving faster.
He carried Han Muzi into the passenger seat. When he wanted to bend down and leave, she was still hugging his neck tightly.
Remaining silent, he tried to leave again. However, Han Muzi was still holding him tightly as if she had forgotten the time.
Narrowing his eyes, he held her slim wrist and said, “I’ll just leave you here if you don’t let go.”
His cold warning rang in her head, snapping her back to her senses. She let go of him reluctantly.
After Ye Moxuan got into the car, he reminded her, “Seatbelt.”
Stunned, she moved to fasten her seatbelt quietly. She lowered her eyes and looked at her arms, feeling sorry all of a sudden. The journey was too short, wasn’t it? It feels like… the hug lasted only for a while. It would be great if the hug was a little longer.
After they hit the road, the entertainment centers around them gradually disappeared and the scenery was replaced with a never-ending stretch of road. Compared to the noise in the hotel just now, it was extremely quiet inside the car. Furthermore, it did not have that acrid smell.
“Are you an idiot?” Out of the blue, Ye Moxuan’s question rang in the car.
She looked at him; her eyes were filled with doubt as if she did not understand what he meant.
Smiling coldly, Ye Moxuan then said, “George brought you there, right?”
She nodded.
“Why didn’t you reject him? Do you just follow other people no matter where they bring you to? Are you out of your mind?”
Faced with Ye Moxuan’s consecutive questions, she was stunned. She did not expect him to be this harsh with his words. Feeling a little ashamed, she retorted, “I didn’t just follow along when he told me to go; he said you’d be there, so I…”
Han Muzi instantly went quiet after saying that. She realized she had exposed something with her words earlier. After stopping his car in front of the red light, he looked at her with his dark eyes.
“You went because you thought I’d be there? And you said you didn’t join the company because of me, huh?”
Han Muzi said, “Who said I went because I heard you’d be there? I just went because I was afraid you had something you wanted to order me to do. I didn’t want to cause any delays, so I went.”
After saying that, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were still on her. He looked straight into her eyes. His eyes were so straightforward as if he was saying, Well, continue lying. I’ll see what you have to say.
Han Muzi was a little annoyed as she bit her lower lip, trying to defend herself again. “I’m telling the truth. Since I was working overtime tonight, I thought… there’d be more work to do. That’s why…”
“Tsk.” Ye Moxuan sneered while curling his thin lips. “Stubborn woman.” This woman was not only weird but she also did not speak her mind.
After that, the car was silent again. He asked for her address after a while, and they went back into a strange silence after she told him. It was already late at night, so there were not many vehicles on the road. They arrived at Han Muzi’s place very soon. There was not a single light on and the area by the gate was dark.
“Thank you… for sending me back,” Han Muzi thanked him as she unfastened her seatbelt and got ready to exit the car. She was a little reluctant as she wanted to stay with Ye Moxuan a little longer. However, his face looked tense, showing that he did not want to have a conversation with her anymore. She had no choice but to say goodbye to him. Then, she turned and walked toward the door.
After a few steps, Han Muzi wanted to rush back and ask him why he came to save her when suddenly, a warm coat covered her head.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 777
Han Muzi stopped suddenly and was stunned for a couple of seconds. She turned around while holding tightly onto the coat on her head. As she turned, she met Ye Moxuan’s cold and deep eyes. She opened her lips and wanted to say something… but her nose became sore.
Ye Moxuan frowned and said, “Get in.”
Biting her lower lip, she turned around to look at the dark gate and gritted her teeth. “The light’s broken. It’s too dark inside and I don’t dare to enter alone.” She was lying. The landlord would normally turn off the lights when everyone went to sleep to save costs on the electricity bill. Plus, the lights outside were not able to shine in anyway. She normally did not work overtime, and she would not go out during the night either. This was the first time she encountered this situation.
She could have just walked in herself using the torchlight on her phone. However, she did not want to. Since this was such a good opportunity for her to spend more time with Ye Moxuan, she needed to seize it. After saying that, she looked carefully at the man. The look in his eyes…
A very faint smile suddenly appeared in Ye Moxuan’s eyes. Although Han Muzi’s eyes were cautious, they were very clear—as if they were naked. Her gaze seemed to be saying, Can you accompany me?
Deep down, Ye Moxuan was helpless as he was uncertain of his feelings toward this woman. However, his body reacted faster and his lips started moving before he could come around. “Lead the way.”
Han Muzi was extremely happy when she heard that. Knowing he was willing to accompany her, she marched forward while feeling satisfied. He followed her from the back after locking the car.
She then walked slowly while taking small steps. It was a short journey, but she walked for a long time. Beside her was Ye Moxuan, and the road in front of them was dark. In the dark, he suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
What? Shocked, she replied instinctively, “I’m not doing it on purpose. The road’s too dark and I can’t walk fast.”
Soon, Ye Moxuan’s sneer came from the left side. “Was I referring to that?”
Han Muzi was speechless. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hands. She admitted it herself! Oh, God! Why am I so nervous in front of Ye Moxuan?
Han Muzi did not speak anymore after that, and she slowly increased her pace. As they reached the front of her house, she lowered her head to look for the keys in her bag.
The sound of keys jingling rang out in the night. She opened the door and turned to look at Ye Moxuan, who was beside her. “Thanks for sending me back, you…” She was hesitant, but in the end, she managed to ask, “Do you want to come in for a drink before you leave?”
The moonlight shone on the corridor, and the person in front of her did not reply after she asked. However, Han Muzi could feel that the aura on him was different from before. She finally realized that she was being a bit too proactive tonight. When she was stumbling to enter the place, the man who had been remaining silent suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed onto her slim, fair wrist. He pinned her to the door.
“Ah…” Han Muzi exclaimed softly.
The man’s strong hormonal aura enveloped her. His warm breath was felt beside her ears. Then, Han Muzi heard his unique deep voice that was a little hoarse—like a strong liquor flowing down your throat. “Do you know what it means to invite a man into your house in the middle of the night?”
His breath and warm body were very close to her. At that moment, Han Muzi was so nervous that even her breathing trembled. She did not dare to simply move and stood there like a wooden puppet.
Something soft went by her ears, and she was trembling with her eyes widened. When she thought that something might happen tonight, she gripped the coat on her tightly just as she was pushed into the house.
Bang! The door was closed. It was pitch black and silent inside the house.
Han Muzi stood at the same place for ten seconds. When she finally came to her senses and realized that Ye Moxuan had pushed her into the house before closing the door, she quickly turned around. She opened the door to look outside, only to see the man’s back as he left.
She remained speechless. After that, she saw him getting into the car. Then, the lights came on and he left the place instantly.
Han Muzi tightened the coat subconsciously after the night breeze came blowing. The scent on the coat belonged to Ye Moxuan, but it was on her now at the moment. Curling the corners of her lips into a smile, she went back into the house.
She hugged the coat that Ye Moxuan gave her to sleep that night, her empty heart now filled. What she did tonight was unexpected, and she also received an unexpected reward. She was extremely happy and excited.
She thought she would have to deal with the Caucasian man alone, but she did not expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly appear and save her. Was it because… Even though Ye Moxuan did not recognize her anymore, would he still subconsciously help her?
She felt that her victory was not too far away. To her, it was fine if Ye Moxuan did not remember her anymore. She would not even mind if he had forgotten their past, as long as he could fall in love with her again and be with her.
The next day, Han Muzi woke up with Ye Moxuan’s coat in her arms. It was probably because she stayed up too late last night, thus her eyes were hurting and she felt unwell. However, her mood was great. She quickly got up to wash and get changed. She hung Ye Moxuan’s coat by the side of her bed.
Due to the uncertainty of her workload today and the fact that it would be a Sunday tomorrow, she would wait until tomorrow to wash the coat. She went to the company straight after.
After cleaning Ye Moxuan’s office, she went back to the secretary’s office. Her eyes were still sore in the middle of the day, so she used her hands to rub her eyes.
Miss Lin saw this and asked, “Your eyes are very red. Didn’t you get a good night’s sleep last night?”
Han Muzi shook her head after hearing the question. “No. Maybe it’s just something wrong with my eyes.”
Miss Lin saw her working very hard, and seeing her reddened eyes now, she felt bad for her and said, “If you don’t have much to do in the afternoon, go get some rest.”
“Thanks, Miss Lin. I will.”
Soon after, Ye Moxuan came to work. Han Muzi made coffee, and Miss Lin helped her to bring it over directly. This made her slightly disappointed as she did not have the chance to meet him. After what happened last night, she still wanted to see Ye Moxuan and wanted to know what he was thinking. She wanted to tell him… I’ll clean your coat for you before returning it.
During lunchtime, Han Muzi did not see Ye Moxuan, but an unexpected guest came instead.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 778
It was George—the man who took her to the bar and lied to her. When she thought of the time she was given a hard time by the Caucasian man and how George only stood aside while looking on stupidly, Han Muzi was so angry that she turned around immediately upon seeing George.
“Hey, don’t go.” George quickly went forward to stop her with a pleasing smile on his face. “You’re not still angry with me for what happened last night, are you?”
Han Muzi remained silent. He had done such an awful thing, but when those words came out from his mouth, it sounded as if something was going on between them. After noticing the looks of people around them, she frowned and scolded directly, “What are you on about?”
George just realized that everyone around was looking at them, so he coughed softly while lowering down his volume. “I’ve realized my mistakes, so I came here to apologize to you as soon as possible.”
Pursing her pinkish lips, she replied coldly, “No need for that.” Then, she walked directly past George and toward the cafeteria.
At that moment, someone with a petite figure ran toward her while waving her arms. “Muzi, wait for me.”
George found the voice to be familiar and looked in the direction where it sounded. Then, he saw a figure approaching closer. Hey, isn’t this the little beauty I met in the elevator that day?
“Muzi.” After Rory ran over, she immediately took Han Muzi’s hand intimately.
Han Muzi was a little helpless as she found that Rory was someone who would get close to strangers easily. Even though she did not like Rory, but… she did not dislike her behavior, so she just let her be. She then nodded at Rory. “Yes. Let’s go eat.”
“Okay,” Rory answered happily, unaware of George’s presence.
As he was used to being the center of attention no matter where he went due to his good looks, George was slightly disappointed. He did not think that the two girls in front of him would ignore him like this. One was even unaware of his presence. It was like he was invisible when he stood with them. Although he was a little upset, he soon regained his spirits. He looked at Rory and waved. “Hi, gorgeous! We meet again.”
It was only then that Rory realized someone was standing beside Han Muzi, and he seemed familiar to her at first glance. George was a good-looking person who appeared flighty at the same time. Even if he did not open his mouth to speak, those narrow and smiling eyes gave people a particularly skittish feeling. Moreover, he had teased Rory the last time they were in the elevator. As such, Rory’s face changed slightly when she recognized him. After that, she did not look at him anymore and reacted as if she had not seen him and heard his greeting.
George was speechless. Damn. What’s wrong with these two women?
Han Muzi and Rory walked toward the cafeteria together. At that moment, George recalled what he had done last night and realized that if he did not get Han Muzi’s forgiveness today, he would be in much bigger trouble in later days. Thinking of this, he quickly caught up to her and started hovering behind her.
“Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it last night, and… I technically didn’t lie to you, right?”
Han Muzi, who was walking in front, paused abruptly. She raised her eyebrows and stood in place. “Sister-in-law?”
“That’s right.” George gave her a huge smile. “Aren’t you with Yuchi Shen? That would make you my sister-in-law. ”
She retorted, “Who said I was with him?” It was true that she was together with Ye Moxuan before, but now, he had forgotten all about her. George could babble all he wanted in front of her, but what if he did the same in front of Ye Moxuan? When that happened, would her dignity not be at stake? No, this can’t be happening.
George looked at Han Muzi’s serious expression and scratched the back of his head, feeling doubtful. “No? Last night… didn’t Yuchi Shen come to rescue you?”
Rory felt like she was overloaded with information as she stood beside them. She did not dare to interrupt their conversation, so she could only stand there obediently and listen to them.
“Don’t you understand that he only came to rescue me because you brought me there? By the way, do you call yourself a man? You just left me there and didn’t do anything after you brought me to that sort of place!” Han Muzi smiled coldly at him while her eyes were full of mockery.
The look in her eyes made George very uncomfortable. He bit his lip in annoyance and scratched his scalp harder. “I didn’t mean it. I wanted to save you, but Yuchi Shen arrived just in time… Though, I do admit that I brought you there last night on purpose. However, I already knew that Yuchi would be there. I just didn’t expect the Caucasian man to have the guts to do this to Yuchi Shen’s woman—” His voice was loud, attracting other people’s attention. Immediately, they started whispering to each other.
Han Muzi interrupted him, “Are you done? Get lost if you’re done. It’s our lunch break now. I’ve worked all morning and I need to rest.”
George saw that her eyes were bloodshot and that her face did not look good. Could it be because of what happened last night? He felt bad after thinking about that, so he nodded and replied, “Okay, you guys enjoy your meal. I won’t disturb you any longer.” He would continue to beg her for forgiveness after she had eaten and rested.
After George stopped pestering them, Han Muzi and Rory both arrived at the cafeteria with no further disruptions. After ordering their meals, the two got to their seats and sat down. Rory bit down on her chopsticks and nosily started questioning her, “About that… Muzi, can we gossip for a while?”
Raising her eyes to look at her, Han Muzi stopped moving her hand completely.
Immediately, Rory waved her hand and said, “Uh, if you don’t want to talk about it, then it’s okay. Just take it as if I didn’t say anything.”
Helplessly, Han Muzi said, “It’s just like what you heard earlier. The rest… I shouldn’t talk too much about it.”
“Huh?” With widened eyes, Rory inched her head closer bit by bit while she asked in a soft, suppressed voice, “Could it be that you’re dating our President?”
“No, I’m not,” said Han Muzi, shaking her head and denying it. How was she considered to be dating Ye Moxuan? They were almost going to get married. It was just that he did not make it that day. It was just fate playing tricks on them.
Not dating? Curious, Rory had a feeling as if she had just heard incredible news and quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth before eventually letting go. “Rest assured, Muzi. I’m Chinese just like you. I’ll safeguard your secret.”
Looking at Rory, Han Muzi was torn between laughter and tears. “Come on, just act as if you don’t know anything.”
“Yeah, I didn’t see or hear anything today. Don’t worry.”
George, on the other hand, went directly to Ye Moxuan after suffering a loss on Han Muzi’s side.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 779
When George found Ye Moxuan, he told the latter how he forced the Caucasian man to drink all the alcohol last night. After that, the man could not carry on and passed out. He dialed 911 to send the person to the hospital and left after making sure that the man was still breathing.
After Ye Moxuan heard this, his face was neutral without any trace of emotions. George did not know what else to say. Damn, this guy has facial paralysis! He scolded the man in his heart and thought, Was he not like this as well when he came to her rescue last night?
Last night, when Ye Moxuan kicked the Caucasian man, he had used a lot of strength. When everyone had left, George took a look around and found that the wine cabinet was cracked. The man was lucky enough to not have broken bones.
Stroking his chin, George suddenly asked, “After you sent her back last night, you didn’t do anything else to her, did you?”
Hearing the question, the movements in Ye Moxuan’s hand suddenly paused as his cold eyes fell on the man before him. “Do you think I’m like you?”
“Hehe, you didn’t dare to do it, eh? Are you still a man? It was such a good opportunity for the hero to save the damsel in distress. She’s just a lone woman, yet you didn’t make your move. Are you incompetent, or…”
After speaking, George was suddenly reminded of something terrible and jumped off the sofa to go over to Ye Moxuan’s side while squinting his eyes. “Could it be that you didn’t dare to?”
Sitting there blankly, it was as if Ye Moxuan did not care about what he said. If George had not witnessed him taking someone away last night and also taking revenge on the Caucasian man, he might really think that Yuchi Shen was a particularly indifferent and heartless person. However, it was different now. The man saved her, avenged her, but did not do anything even after sending her back home.
There were only two possibilities for this. One was that he did not like her and was not interested in making a move on her. However, this did not make sense. If he was uninterested in her, why would he rush over to rescue her as soon as he hung up the call? In conclusion, he liked that woman. If that was the case, why did he not make a move on her? This was where the second point came into play; he wanted to make a move, but he did not dare to or… was reluctant to do so.
The more George thought about it, the more mystified he felt. Furthermore, he felt like trouble was brewing. Although he did not know whether his guess was right or not, he needed to remind his friend. “Yuchi, you can’t possibly be serious, right?” George asked.
He was thinking that this was the only likely possibility. A man like Yuchi could get any woman he wanted. Seeing that the assistant was willing to go to the bar after hearing that Yuchi was going to be there, if he really wanted her, the chances of her refusing were very small. The only possibility was that Yuchi himself did not want her.
“I’m telling you, Yuchi Shen; you can’t take that woman seriously.”
George surrounded Ye Moxuan like an annoying aunt. “You should know what our family background is like. You can tell what sort of background that little assistant comes from just with one look. If you want to have a serious relationship with her, you’ll only do more harm to her than good.”
Even though Ye Moxuan was still ignoring him, George got anxious and continued, “I’ll be blunt with you. Our marriage can only be decided by the elders, and we have to make sacrifices for the family. If you really have feelings for her, I advise you to quickly retract them. Are you even listening to me? I’ve been speaking for half a day and you haven’t given me any response.”
There was only silence. Finally, Ye Moxuan lazily raised his eyelids and cast a mild look at George. “Are you done talking?”
George nodded.
“Then get out.”
This rendered George speechless. After talking to him for such a long time, he only got these three words in response? He’s even chasing me away?
Sneering in his heart, George deliberately persisted. “Even if you want to chase me away, I won’t leave. I’ll tell you first that Grandpa Yuchi has taken quite a liking to the daughter of the Duanmu family. In the future, you’ll most certainly be engaged to her. There’s nothing much that your little assistant has to offer, but I can see that she is quite persistent when it comes to you. If you really have anything going on with her, don’t get in too deep or you’ll only end up harming her.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan’s eyes finally showed a hint of impatience as he stretched out his hands to massage his temples. It seemed that George was especially talkative today, which was extremely annoying.
George was still planning to say something when he suddenly saw Ye Moxuan stand up to grab his keys and coat before immediately leaving the office.
“Hey, I’m still talking. Where are you going?”
“To eat,” Ye Moxuan replied coldly.
“Eat?” Remembering that he had not eaten, George quickly followed after him and said, “Take me with you. I’m also hungry.”
“I don’t have the time.”
“You’re not bringing me along? Then, shall I just go to the cafeteria and eat with your woman?”
Pausing, Ye Moxuan turned his head as his cold eyes fell on the man before him.
George suddenly felt his scalp go numb. “You… Why are you looking at me like this?”
A fierce aura was enshrouded around Ye Moxuan as he said, “If I see the same thing like last night happen again…”
“It won’t.” George immediately raised his hands as a sign of surrender. “There won’t be another time. I won’t go look for her to eat, okay? I’ll just follow you.”
At this, Ye Moxuan finally retracted his sharp gaze and resumed walking forward calmly while George followed along helplessly, wondering what the man was thinking. On the surface, it indeed appeared that he was very calm as if he had no feelings for her, but at the same time, he would not let others approach her. Obviously… this was his strong possessiveness.
Thinking about this the whole time they were walking, George could not help but question him, “Then Yuchi, can you just tell me. Are you together with her, or not?”
Ding! Right as the elevator door opened, Ye Moxuan stepped out without looking back.
…
Han Muzi said goodbye to Rory after the meal, then went back to rest in the secretary’s office. It was only a few days into her probation and she had not lain and rested on the couch here before. She felt embarrassed doing so as she was outside. However, today was different. Her eyes were extremely sore and she felt very sleepy.
After Han Muzi closed the door to the secretary’s office, she lay down on the sofa while holding a pillow, and soon fell asleep. Then, she had a long dream. In the dream, Ye Moxuan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. Han Muzi was greedy for his warm embrace and hugged him with both arms.
However, eventually, Han Muzi realized that the body temperature of the person she was hugging was dropping gradually and was getting colder. In the end, it was as cold as ice cubes and it made her tremble. She was almost frozen; she looked up and realized the person she was hugging was no longer Ye Moxuan but just a block of ice.
She turned around and looked for Ye Moxuan, but she could only see a plane crashing into the vast ocean.
“No… No!!”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 780
When Ye Moxuan returned to the company and passed by the secretary’s office, he suddenly heard a voice coming from inside. After listening carefully, he realized that it was the voice of the secretary’s assistant. Why is she yelling so frantically? What’s happening?
Frowning, he raised his hand and opened the door. Looking around, Han Muzi could be seen lying on the sofa in the secretary’s office. She was the one who had made the sound earlier. Then, Ye Moxuan subconsciously walked toward her and was unsure about why he was doing this.
Arriving in front of her, he saw that her brows were tightly furrowed together while her fair forehead was covered in sweat. A few strands of her hair were soaked. Her pinkish lips were moving, and she looked like she was in pain. Is she… having a nightmare?
Bending down, Ye Moxuan moved his fingertips and pushed away from her wet hair.
“No, come back…” Han Muzi, who was having a nightmare, suddenly yelled, shocking Ye Moxuan who was by her side. He saw that her complexion was not looking well and her breathing was getting faster and faster. Furthermore, tears were falling from her eyes.
Ye Moxuan felt that this bitter expression looked familiar.
The first time. When he saw her for the first time, she was running toward him anxiously, and when she was taken away from him, her expression was the same as now. Crystal clear tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. They fell to the sofa and it felt as if they were falling onto Ye Moxuan’s heart as well.
When her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, the woman sleeping on the sofa suddenly yelled and opened her eyes. Meanwhile, he was still bent over, so the two were looking at each other.
Ye Moxuan did not say a word. When he pursed his thin lips and was just about to stand up, the woman stretched out her hands and hugged him tightly. “I’m so glad that you’re fine. I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone…”
Earlier, Han Muzi was having a nightmare in which she wanted to save Ye Moxuan but she could not get close to him. She could only watch him continue falling, and although she was frantic, she could not do anything. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Ye Moxuan standing in front of her, well and alive. Thus, she instinctively hugged him. There was a sense of having recovered a precious item.
However, Ye Moxuan, who was being held by her, was no longer the same as she imagined. Frowning, his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter as he listened to her constant whispers. This woman… Does she think I’m another person? How else would she dare to hold me like this while saying these inexplicable words?
As an unknown fire erupted in his chest, Ye Moxuan clasped her thin arms and pushed her away. However, Han Muzi only hugged him tightly once more in panic. “No, don’t push me away. Don’t leave me alone again.”
He was speechless. Damn it! Did she really mistake him for another person? The one she had mentioned previously? As his heart became more and more uncomfortable, he used a little strength to push her away.
At this moment, Han Muzi reluctantly let go. Even though there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her beautiful eyes were still lovely. Her face was pale as if she was suffering from a serious illness.
Ye Moxuan sneered, “Who do you think I am?”
With a surprised look, Han Muzi stared at him.
“Huh?” The man was squinting his eyes; his entire body was emitting a murderous aura that caused Han Muzi to shiver before she slowly recovered.
The person in front of her was indeed real, but… the current Ye Moxuan had lost his memory and no longer recognized her. And she had embarrassed herself earlier. Thinking of this, Han Muzi quickly reached out her hand to wipe the tears off her face and apologized to him. “I’m sorry, President!”
Ye Moxuan further confirmed his conjecture after seeing her shocked and at a loss after she came back to her senses. She had indeed mistaken me for someone else, right? Otherwise, why would she have such a reaction? One that was full of heartbreak?
Ye Moxuan tugged his lips into a sneer. “Sorry? Are you sorry for hugging me or sorry for mistaking me for someone else?”
Astonished, Han Muzi looked at him and felt anger from his breath as well as his gaze. His first reaction was… that he was angry she hugged him? Biting her lower lip, she apologized once more. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.” After having that nightmare, she was just too scared. When she awoke, she saw the person in her dream standing in front of her, so she hugged him without hesitation.
She was only starting to recover from her nightmare now. If she knew he would be so angry, she definitely would not have done that. Speaking of which, why is he in the secretary’s office? When she thought of this, Han Muzi’s gaze turned doubtful as she asked, “President, why are you here?”
Ye Moxuan did not know what to say. Initially, his heart was full of mockery, but now he felt a little guilty when she questioned him. Could he say that he came over after hearing her yell in her nightmare? Of course not.
Pursing his thin lips, he looked at her coldly.
The look in this man’s eyes made her hands and feet numb. As she sat there, she even felt a chill running down her spine. It seemed that he was really angry. Lowering her eyes, Han Muzi bit her pink lip. “I’m sorry. I know what I did just now has made you very angry, but I didn’t mean it. I had a nightmare, so…” She could not continue; her voice became softer and softer while her head was lowered even more.
Seeing her like this, Ye Moxuan’s heart became even more irritable as he stood up. “If you have nightmares, what does that have to do with me?”
Han Muzi raised her head in shock. It seemed that he was really angry, but she did not know what to say. As such, she bit her lower lip and remained silent. The atmosphere in the secretary’s office suddenly became quiet. Then, Ye Moxuan turned around and was about to leave.
“That…” She could not help herself from raising her head and calling out to him.
With a leg stretched out, he did not look back but asked aloud, “Is there anything else?”
“Thank you for last night,” she said.
Sneering, he said in a cold tone, “No need to thank me. If you weren’t brought over by George, I wouldn’t have gone to save you.”
These blunt words made Han Muzi’s face hot, but she did not give up and continued, “Even so, I still have to thank you.” She no longer needed to ask a stupid question like, ‘Why’d you come to save me last night?’
“That’s all?’
“What?” Stunned for a moment, Han Muzi then thought of another thing and hurriedly said, “Also, I’ll send your coat to the dry cleaner and will return it to you when it’s been cleaned and ironed.”
Ye Moxuan did not utter a word. His long body stood there without moving. After some time, he said, “Don’t you know that I’m a germaphobe?”
“I do.”
“Since you do, then just throw the coat away. Why bother returning it to me?” When the words fell, he did not give Han Muzi another chance to talk and immediately strode out of the secretary’s office.
After he left, she sat on the sofa in a daze. It was not that she could not tell, but compared to last night, his emotions had fluctuated too aggressively. Was it because I hugged him for that short moment?
