Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 801

Han Muzi was furious, but the words coming out from her mouth seemed to carry a hint of flirtatious intent. It didn’t sound angry at all as she sounded like she was being coy. What is going on? I’m trying to give him a tongue-lashing!

She was furious, but she saw a hint of a playful smile in Ye Moxuan’s lowered eyes. “Scoundrel?” He seemed to recall something and laughed mockingly. “Who was the one that draped her bra all over my coat last night?”

Her ears flushed red instantly when he brought up this topic.

“Just who is the scoundrel here?”

She was mortified. “Listen to my explanation! What happened to your coat wasn’t intentional!”

God can be my witness! I didn’t do it on purpose! I’m not that perverted, okay? She would not deliberately drape her bra over his coat, although… she had already slept in her lingerie while hugging the coat close to her body. However, she only did that when she was under the impression that he no longer wanted his coat back! She did that only because she had already treated it like it was her possession. If he had said he wanted his coat back the other day, then she wouldn’t have… Han Muzi felt a little desperate as she pondered.

“An accident?” He leaned closer to her, squinting his narrow and long eyes. Every single strand of the eyelash surrounding his eyes stood out clearly. “The probability of an accident like that happening is about 0.1 percent. Do you think I’d believe you?”

She was at a loss for words. Forget it! Believe me or not, I don’t care! “Whatever. Just assume that I did it intentionally, alright? So what?”

So what? Ye Moxuan’s narrowed eyes revealed hints of danger. “Are you finally admitting to seducing me?”

“Wait! What has that got to do with me seducing you? I just couldn’t beat you in an argument. Besides…” At this point, her voice was slightly resentful and aggrieved. “If I was seducing you just by hanging up a bra, then… what were you doing just now?” Nearing the end of her sentence, she had undoubtedly lost her confidence; her voice became much softer, but her resentment and dissatisfaction were written all over her face.

He mulled over it for a bit, then replied, “Being seduced.”

Han Muzi was utterly confused. Did he mean… he was being seduced by me? She peered into his eyes, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from the outside.

Hearing the knock on the door, she reflexively squatted down. When she crouched down, she saw that there was a hiding spot behind his desk. Without thinking, she crawled inside.

Ye Moxuan, who watched the entire process, was speechless. After waiting for her to fully conceal herself, he coldly said, “Come in.” He took a few steady steps and reached out his hand to smoothen out the wrinkles in his clothes that were created when he embraced her. Then, he sat down behind his desk.

The person who walked in was none other than Miss Lin. Han Muzi had been gone for a while. After careful consideration, Miss Lin felt like there was something off about Han Muzi’s complexion today. She was worried, so she came over to check things out, and brought along some tasks to report while she was at it.

Upon entering the office, Miss Lin’s eyes swept across the office, searching for Han Muzi. However, she didn’t find any sign of Han Muzi. That’s weird. Where did that brat go? I just asked her to send a coffee. She’s not in the President’s office or the secretary’s office, so where did she go?

While Miss Lin was mulling over it, she didn’t forget that she had come in on official business. She walked over to the desk and placed a document on it. As she bent down, she saw the cup of coffee on his desk and felt curious. “The coffee was delivered?”

“Yes.” Ye Moxuan nodded. He had resumed his usual expression, and the aura around his body was icy. His entire being seemed to exude an aura that prevented people from coming close to him.

Han Muzi, who was hiding under the table, was speechless. His desk was very big, but it also had many cabinets. Except for storage purposes, there was only enough space under the desk for him to fit his legs in comfortably. Usually, the small space didn’t bother him when he was alone, but with the addition of Han Muzi crouching there right now, it felt especially tight.

When he sat down, she couldn’t help but curse him in her heart. He saw that I’m squatting here, so why did he have to come and sit down here? Can’t he just stand for a while? Besides, what made her even more confused was why she had to hide under his table in the first place. She was the secretary’s assistant, and not somebody who came here to flirt! However, at that moment, she didn’t know what was going on inside her head when she instinctively crouched and hid. Could it be that she had suffered a misconception due to the conversation with Ye Moxuan before? As the thought entered her mind, Han Muzi glared at him fiercely. It’s all your fault!

Ye Moxuan was listening to Miss Lin as she reported to him, but he suddenly felt a gust of wind battering against him—it was coming from under the table. He lowered his chin slightly and glanced downward. He saw Han Muzi crouching there with her hands hugging her legs to her chest—she looked like a small cornered animal. It was… rather comical.

“President, what did you think of what I just said?” Miss Lin asked. After not receiving a reply from Ye Moxuan despite waiting for a while, she looked at him and noticed that he was peering under the desk. Curious, she walked closer, intending to take a look under the desk.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Han Muzi instinctively pulled at his pants and shook them desperately. Originally, he was expressionless, but now, he furrowed his brows. This woman…

“President?” Miss Lin was walking toward his desk.

He raised his eyes and his gaze turned cold. “Your suggestion is fine; just proceed with it. Are there any other problems, Miss Lin?”

Miss Lin’s footsteps stilled and she did not move any closer. “On the whole, there are no other problems. I’ll proceed according to what we just discussed. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“Okay.”

As Miss Lin left the office, she couldn’t resist peeking over her shoulder at Ye Moxuan. Why is everything so strange today? Did something happen?

After the door closed, Han Muzi poked her head out from under the desk and looked at him pitifully. “Has she left?” She didn’t dare to make a sound and only mouthed the words at him. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t resist sticking out his index finger and placing it on her forehead, pushing her head back down little by little.

“What’s wrong?” she whispered at him. She pushed aside his finger and tried to poke her head out again. However, every time she poked her head out, his finger would push her head back in. This went on for a few more times before she suddenly realized that he was doing it on purpose. Miss Lin had left a while back, otherwise he would not be acting this conspicuously.

On that thought, she crawled out from under the table and stood up to straighten out her clothes. “I’m returning to the secretary’s office.” When she finished speaking, she ignored his reaction and quickly fled from his office.

After she left, Ye Moxuan sat there quietly and motionlessly. After a while, he stretched out his index finger and gently touched his thin lips—it seemed like her softness and her breath… still lingered on his lips. But, what were those fragments of images that flashed through my mind when I kissed her?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 802

Returning to the secretary’s office, the redness in Han Muzi’s flushed face and ears had yet to completely fade away. The moment she entered, Miss Lin looked over at her. “Where did you go just now?”

Miss Lin’s voice seemed to ring in her ears. Han Muzi glanced at her once, then shifted her gaze away. She calmly replied, “I went to deliver the coffee to the President, Miss Lin. Did you forget?”

“I didn’t forget.” Miss Lin shook her head, then narrowed her eyes. “If you delivered the coffee to the President, then why didn’t I see you in his office when I went in there to submit my report? Where did you go?”

Han Muzi blinked her eyes. “I didn’t go anywhere, Miss Lin. After delivering the coffee to the President, my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I went to the restroom. Did something happen?”

Hearing those words, Miss Lin sized her up for a moment and noticed that her face and ears were flushed red. No matter how you looked at it, something doesn’t seem quite right. But… Her attitude while speaking to Miss Lin was calm—not a heartbeat out of place. Moreover, Miss Lin truly had not seen her in the President’s office just now. Don’t tell me… it was my misunderstanding? Or am I overthinking it? “Nothing much happened. I just thought you were acting a little odd today. Did you not get a good night’s sleep last night? Do you want to take the day off?”

Han Muzi gratefully smiled at her, then shook her head. “Thanks for your consideration, Miss Lin, but I’m fine.”

“Well, then you can continue with your work.” After Han Muzi returned to her work, Miss Lin rubbed her chin thoughtfully, recalling the situation in the President’s office just now. Both of them seemed to be acting strangely today. Besides… she heard that George had specially come to the secretary’s office to look for Han Muzi. What are these young people trying to do?

Due to the episode in the office, Han Muzi couldn’t focus on her work throughout the entire day. She kept remembering how he had suddenly pulled her into his embrace and lowered his head to fiercely search for her lips. They had kissed countless times before, but this was the first time he had instinctively kissed her after losing his memories. She realized that many of his actions toward her were done subconsciously.

He might have forgotten all his memories, but his body still seemed to be familiar with her. However, didn’t Su Jiu mention that constantly being with somebody he knew well would stimulate his memories and possibly restore them? Why hasn’t he shown any special reactions despite their time together recently, including today’s intimate encounter?

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. She decided to give Su Jiu a call after getting off work; she wanted to carefully consult with Su Jiu about this matter and see how she should deal with it. Therefore, after work, she tidied up her stuff and prepared to give Su Jiu a call after she got home. Exiting the company, she headed toward the subway station.

Halfway there, a car suddenly stopped right in front of her. The car window rolled down and revealed a handsome face. Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze landed on her.

Seeing him, Han Muzi was puzzled. Why is he here? I’m already quite a distance away from the company; did he notice me as he was coming out?

“President?” she called out to him hesitantly.

In return, he curtly replied, “Get in.” Seeing as she said nothing and hesitated, a displeased expression appeared on his face. “Hurry up; parking is off-limits here.”

Han Muzi circled over to the other side, whereupon she smoothly opened the door and got in. Ye Moxuan’s behavior today… is extremely unusual, she thought as she sat in the car.

“Why are you spacing out? Fasten your seatbelt!” he reminded her just as she was mulling over his odd behavior today. She hurriedly lowered her head and fastened her seatbelt.

Once she had fastened her seatbelt, she watched as he turned the car around and drove straight ahead. She didn’t know what he was thinking about, so she just kept her silence. After all, the incident from this afternoon was still making her feel embarrassed. At the very least, she didn’t know how to meet his gaze right now.

After a while, Han Muzi noticed that the car seemed to be heading toward her house. She was surprised. Could it be that Ye Moxuan was driving her home? But after giving it some thought, she decided that it wasn’t possible. Based on his current temperament, how could he possibly take such a detour just to send me home? It didn’t seem like something he would do.

Her house was not too far away from the company. The further he drove, the more familiar the roads became—she could finally ascertain it. However, she still timidly asked him, “A-Are you sending me home?”

Ye Moxuan said nothing. The light turned red, and the car stopped. Then, he turned his head and glanced at her coolly. “Don’t flatter yourself.”

“Huh?” She was stunned. “If you’re not sending me home, then where are we going?”

He pursed his lips; the expression on his face wasn’t happy. “To pick up the clothes I left behind yesterday.”

She said nothing in return. I see. Realizing that his purpose in sending her home was just to pick up his clothes, she felt a wave of sourness rising in her heart. She sneered, “You sure treasure that coat of yours.”

Seeing her disgruntled expression, he snorted lightly. “Last night, did you do anything perverted to the coat and the clothes I left—”

Listening to what he said, she fiercely and abruptly cut him off while gritting her teeth, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m not that kind of person!”

“Really?” As the red light changed, he placed his hands back on the steering wheel, withdrew his gaze, and stopped responding to her.

Han Muzi felt that he had taken her to be a pervert. Otherwise, why would he keep emphasizing this matter? Moreover, after he had kissed her in the office today… he said that he was being seduced? She had wanted to make a good impression on him, but who could have expected that… it would be utterly ruined just like this. As such, she wallowed in despair.

Ye Moxuan drove very steadily, and they arrived at the entrance of her house very quickly. He mentioned that he would head upstairs with her after he parked the car.

When they entered, they coincidentally ran into the landlady, who was about to go out for a post-dinner walk. Today, the landlady was even bringing a dog along with her. Watching Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan entering together, she gave a fascinated smile. “Muzi, you brought your boyfriend over again?”

Han Muzi didn’t reply. She found it hard to argue—even if she said he wasn’t her boyfriend, he had indeed come over for two days straight. The landlady wouldn’t believe her even if she denied it. In the end, she simply couldn’t be bothered explaining, so she headed upstairs after greeting the landlady.

As she was searching for her keys to open the door, he piped up all of a sudden from behind her. “You told her that I’m your boyfriend?”

Han Muzi’s hand trembled as she opened the door, and the keys fell noisily to the floor. She panicked and crouched down to pick them up to resume opening the door. Then, she ferociously retorted, “How could that be possible? I’m not the kind of person who likes to make up stories! My landlady just has a wild imagination.”

“Really?” Ye Moxuan casually threw her a glance, then walked inside.

She still had only her pair of indoor slippers in her shoe cabinet. So, he could only enter the house barefooted. The ice-cold feeling on his feet made him frown. It seemed like he should remind her to prepare a pair of male indoor-slippers.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 803

Han Muzi didn’t try to guess what he was thinking; she simply changed her shoes and went inside. As she walked toward the kitchen, she said, “Take a seat. I’ll pour you a glass of water, then bring in the clothes for you.”

Bring in? Ye Moxuan seemed to have caught on to some important information. He didn’t sit down; instead, he stood in the living room and looked around.

Very quickly, she came out carrying a glass of warm water. “Drink this first, I-I’ll go and bring in your clothes.” After speaking, she walked in the direction of the balcony. She couldn’t just throw away the clothes he had left behind in her bathroom last night, so she decided to help him wash them and hung them out to dry.

As she was retrieving the clothes at the balcony, her heart trembled; she didn’t know if he would follow her out here and tease her for being a pervert. Fortunately, this time around, he didn’t. She finished retrieving the clothes and went back inside. “These are the clothes you left behind yesterday. On another note, I took your suit to the dry cleaner’s again. It will probably be ready by tomorrow.”

He looked at the clothes she had retrieved—she had even packed them carefully into bags—and just responded, “Okay.”

Han Muzi felt that it was strange when he didn’t say anything else after replying with an ‘Okay’. Two people sitting in the living room quietly also felt very strange. She felt that it was odd to continue sitting there, but he just sat there seemingly without any intention to leave. She could only say, “I’m going to wash and cook the rice. After that, I need to go to the department store downstairs to buy some fresh ingredients.”

He nodded. “Okay.”

She was confused. At this point, isn’t he going to say something like ‘I’m leaving’? Didn’t he come here just to take his clothes? Isn’t he going to leave since he’d already received it? The implication behind her words was very obvious, but she didn’t expect him to do anything at all even after all that. Don’t tell me…

“Do you… want to stay for dinner?” she asked cautiously; her eyes looking at him were full of curiosity. Honestly speaking, the thought hadn’t even crossed her mind. Last night, he had commented that the fish soup she cooked was mediocre, so he shouldn’t be wanting to eat her home-cooked dishes again. But his odd behavior today made her blurt out the question.

After asking the question, she felt like she had gone crazy. Why did I have to go and ask a question that would only humiliate me? Just as she was wondering how she could salvage the situation, he suddenly replied, “Since you’ve invited me, I’ll have to reluctantly accept your request.”

Han Muzi was very confused. Huh? When did I invite him? I was just asking him! “Wait! That… when did I—”

Before she could even finish her sentence, Ye Moxuan stood up. “Weren’t you going to wash the rice? Why haven’t you gone?”

She was at a loss for words. Fine. Since it’s already come down to this, what else am I thinking about? As such, she went back into the kitchen to cook the rice. As she was washing the rice, she suddenly realized something. It’s not a bad idea if he stays. If he keeps coming every day in the future, and he agrees to stay for dinner every time I ask, isn’t that a good thing?

Soon, she went out to buy the ingredients. She didn’t ask him to go with her; instead, she told him to wait for her in the house as she would be back soon. Unexpectedly, when she walked out the door, he was right behind her. She didn’t say anything, and they went downstairs together. The department store was very close by—it was just a few minutes away—so they didn’t take the car.

Han Muzi loved eating fish. Also, fish was very nutritious for her right now. So, after buying the vegetables, she headed to the fish stall. As soon as they approached, a strong fishy odor wafted toward them. His steps came to an abrupt halt, and he frowned at her. “Are you getting fish again?”

“Eating fish is good for you, and I like to drink fish soup.” After saying that, she felt something wrong with the expression of the person standing next to her. She couldn’t resist adding jokingly, “Don’t worry. I’m going to cook the fish immediately today, so I’ll get the man to slaughter it for me now. I won’t be asking you to help me prepare the fish again.” She continued in a soft mutter, “I sure wouldn’t want you to get your clothes wet again.”

Ye Moxuan remained quiet. He scowled as he watched her back disappearing in the distance. Is she looking down on me? Just because I couldn’t catch the fish back then, much less kill it?

When she returned after buying the fish, the air around his body was even heavier than before. However, his handsome appearance attracted the attention and gazes of many. When they were at the cashier, a few women were glancing his way, and they even took out their phones to take pictures. Alas, he swept a cold glare in their direction; they had no choice but to put away their phones while gazing at him doe-eyed.

As Han Muzi watched this scene, she thought, Sure enough, no matter where they went—be it at home or abroad—good looking people will always be popular.

After that, they quickly returned to Han Muzi’s residence. They had just arrived at the entrance when they noticed that another person was standing there. George sat in front of the door, watching them with a surprised look. “You guys…”

He stared at the scene in front of him in amazement—Ye Moxuan was carrying a shopping bag from the department store that seemed rather heavy while Han Muzi was carrying a small bag that looked rather light. They looked just like a young, married couple living their everyday life together. Of course, he didn’t dare to say those words out loud. Instead, he quickly got up and said, “Hehe, I’m here for a free meal again.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a death-glare fixated on him. His smile stiffened; he didn’t even need to think to know who was the one glaring at him. He cleared his throat lightly, pretending that nothing happened.

Han Muzi opened the door nonchalantly. “Come on in.”

George was about to step forward, but Ye Moxuan’s tall figure stood in the doorway, blocking his path. He watched as Han Muzi changed her shoes and headed straight into the kitchen with all the ingredients. He then withdrew his gaze, and coldly asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“I’m not trying to do anything. I just thought that your assistant is a very good cook. The dishes she makes are very tasty, so I came here to beg for a meal,” George quipped.

His words made Ye Moxuan furrow his brows. If I hadn’t followed her home today, would George have come over regardless? “Did I give you my permission to come here begging for free food?” He turned his head and stared at George with an unhappy expression.

Hearing that, George couldn’t help retorting, “That’s weird. What has your permission got to do with me? It’s not like I came here to eat the food you cooked.”

Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless.

“What? You’re just her superior at work. Don’t tell me you want to manage the private lives of all your company’s employees too?” George laughed as he teased him. He put his hands on his hips and wickedly continued, “Yuchi, you can’t be so controlling! I can’t believe you even want to control people’s private lives!”

“Why are you guys standing by the door?” Han Muzi walked out of the kitchen and saw that the two men were still standing at the entrance; she scrunched her brows as she asked this question.

“It’s nothing!” George squeezed through the gap between Ye Moxuan and the door, taking advantage of Ye Moxuan’s stunned pause. Then, he asked loudly, “So, what’s for dinner today?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 804

George entered the house and quickly squeezed into the kitchen. Then, he was particularly surprised. “Wow! We have fish soup again today! That’s awesome!”

Ye Moxuan, who was still standing by the door, remained silent. He glared at George with a murderous gaze. Why have I never realized that George is such an annoying jerk? Heh. Seems like he’s itching for a beating. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and took out his phone.

“Muzi!” George took the chance to sneak into the kitchen while Ye Moxuan was still outside. He softly conversed with her, “Why is Yuchi here?”

“He followed me here after work saying that he wanted to pick up the clothes he left behind yesterday,” Han Muzi replied.

Oh? George couldn’t help but raise his brows at that reasoning. “Yesterday’s clothes? Did he say that he wanted to come and retrieve them himself?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“Do you believe that?” George leaned over and narrowed his eyes as he questioned her.

“What’s wrong?” She looked at George, who had leaned close to her, with a doubtful expression. “He said that the coat from yesterday was very expensive, so naturally he had to retrieve it.” Of course, she didn’t tell George about how her bra had been draped over the coat. That kind of information… was best kept between her and Ye Moxuan.

George immediately seemed to misunderstand something when he heard those words. He snickered, “Very expensive? The heir of the prestigious Yuchi Group said something like ‘very expensive’? Muzi, I can’t help saying this, but you’re just way too naïve!” Seeing as she was still looking at him, George continued explaining, “I think he was just looking for an excuse to get a free meal here. This is the first time I’m learning that Yuchi is this type of person!”

He wanted to come over to spend time with her, but did he have to come up with a bunch of lousy excuses? Compared to me, he’s way too arrogant! Thank goodness it’s Muzi; if it were any other woman, they… probably would have run away a long time ago.

However, with a face like Ye Moxuan’s, even if he was arrogant—let alone heartless—as long as he did not reject them, what woman wouldn’t jump into his arms? Sigh. Comparing myself to him is maddening.

“What are you guys doing?” A cold voice rang out in the kitchen.

Han Muzi and George turned around at the same time and saw Ye Moxuan leaning against the kitchen door. His arms were crossed in front of his chest as he stared at them with indifference. George realized that if he stood a little closer to Muzi, Yuchi’s emotions would become very unstable. The look in his eyes in particular looked as if he was about to murder George.

“Hehe, we’re not doing anything. I just came to ask your assistant about her cooking techniques. Why are you so anxious?” George even intentionally winked in Ye Moxuan’s direction. He deliberately wanted to provoke Ye Moxuan, who was pretending to be like this in front of the woman he fancied, and watch his downfall when his facade was exposed on the spot.

In George’s eyes, Ye Moxuan had always been a cold and arrogant person who looked down on everyone else. Perhaps due to George’s bad taste in humor, he suddenly really wanted to see Ye Moxuan lose his sense of reason and descend into utter chaos over a single woman. Just thinking about it… seems so exciting!

The more George thought about it, the more the glee showed in his eyes. Just wait and see how I’m going to tear apart your disguise! However, his phone suddenly started ringing right at that moment. Glancing at the screen, his gleeful expression immediately turned into one of utter depression. Old man? F*ck! Why would the old man call me at this time?

George glanced at Han Muzi, then answered the call. “Grandfather?”

“George, you better get your a*s back here right now!”

“No… Grandfather, what did I do wrong today? Why are you yelling at me the moment I answered the phone?” George considered it carefully. He hadn’t done anything bad today, and the scandals surrounding him had also reduced considerably recently. Why was the old man raging at him the moment he answered the phone?

“How dare you say you haven’t done anything wrong? Where are you right now? Are you fooling around again? You b*stard, when are you going to grow up? Can’t you just let this old man with one foot in the coffin stop worrying about you for once?”

George was dumbfounded because he really had no idea about what was going on. However, the old man on the other side of the phone was still cursing at him angrily; he had no chance to explain himself at all, nor did the old man want to listen to his explanation.

“You b*stard! If I don’t see you standing in front of me in 30 minutes, don’t blame me if I freeze all your credit cards!”

“Grandfather, why suddenly—”

Toot-toot! The other party ended the call, and the engaged tone was heard from the phone. George stood there holding his phone. His entire being was dumbstruck.

On the other hand, the black eyes of Ye Moxuan, who witnessed the entire episode, turned considerably darker. His eyes took on a hint of a faint smile, and he curled up his lips in a sneer. “Looking at your expression, it seems like something urgent has happened?”

George, who was dumbfounded because he had been wrongly accused, suddenly realized what was going on when his eyes met Ye Moxuan’s directly.

This is all Yuchi’s doing! F*ck! This b*stard sold out his friend for a woman!

“What’s wrong?” Han Muzi asked as she looked at George curiously. “Who called you?”

George came back to his senses and forced a fake smile. “Erm… My grandfather called me on urgent business. So… I’m afraid I can’t stay for dinner.” His face revealed a pained and rueful expression. “Can I come back tomorrow for dinner?”

Han Muzi was quiet for a while, then she nodded. “Of course.”

Immediately, George smiled. “You said it yourself! I’ll be here again tomorrow! As for today… Hmph, forget it!” He then cast a triumphant look at Ye Moxuan. If you won’t let me eat here tonight, then I’ll just come back tomorrow! Anyway, they had a long future ahead; he had ample time to tear off Yuchi’s disguise!

After George said his farewells to Han Muzi, he prepared to leave. Ye Moxuan personally closed the door after him, and George pressed his hand against the door. “Yuchi, you’re despicable. How could you complain to my grandfather?”

Ye Moxuan raised his brows. “Despicable? I’m afraid it’s not comparable to your shamelessness.”

George gritted his teeth at those words. “I’m shameless? It’s hard to say who’s more shameless. You wanted to stay for dinner, yet you had to come up with a bullsh*t excuse about picking up your clothes!”

Ye Moxuan scowled so hard his brows were knitted together; he subconsciously narrowed his eyes to glare at George dangerously.

George knew that he had hit the nail on its head based on Ye Moxuan’s expression. He snorted and continued adding fuel to the fire. “The coat is very expensive? The heir of the prestigious Yuchi Family said that a coat is expensive? Then why don’t I see you act so diligently and thriftily when designing your suits on a normal basis?” Having found an opportunity, George gave his all to humiliate Ye Moxuan. Since he couldn’t stay for the dinner, he could at least mock Ye Moxuan in revenge, right?

“Are you done talking?” Unexpectedly, Ye Moxuan’s emotions quickly returned to their natural state. He looked at George standing outside the door and coldly continued, “If you’re done talking, f*ck off.”

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut. George, who was standing very close to it, nearly got hit in the face. As such, he yelled loudly in anger.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 805

“How noisy,” Ye Moxuan retorted. He turned around expressionlessly and reached up his hand to touch his ear. Once George—the busybody—left, the house became much more peaceful and serene.

Han Muzi was still cooking in the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen entrance, and let his gaze fall on her. The lights in the kitchen were a warm yellow. She was wearing her light-colored apron and her long hair was tied gently behind her head; the lights seemed to cover her in a soft glow. Watching her like this, he suddenly felt a strong feeling that a couple should be living together like this.

He had not known her for a long time—it hadn’t even been half a month yet—and he had no real understanding of the woman in front of him, yet his body seemed to act beyond his control. He wanted to stay close to her. Why do I feel this way? Why?!

As he was seriously pondering this question, she seemed to have an intuitive feeling and glanced at him. “Why are you standing there?” she asked him peculiarly. “Are you going to help again?”

Her eyes and her expression might not have been obvious, but he could tell that she was suspicious of him. His thin lips twitched slightly; a strong feeling of helplessness rose from the bottom of his heart. He never thought the day he was powerless to be in front of a woman, moreover, he didn’t even seem to have any words to refute her.

“Forget it; why don’t you wait in the living room? I’ll be done in a flash,” she said as she turned around to continue cooking.

He didn’t reply.

Today’s dinner had similar dishes to yesterday’s dinner—there were vegetables, meat, and soup. Since she was pregnant, Han Muzi would not skimp out on her meals. Only if she was exhausted to the point where she had no energy left to cook would she simply eat something light.

Normally, she kept to her routine. She would take the time to seriously choose and buy what she needed at the department store, slowly cook it after getting home, and then slowly eat it by herself. However, to Ye Moxuan, these dishes were very crude. After all, the Yuchi Family had chefs who were widely sought after, while her dishes were simple home-cooked meals.

They both ate their dinner in silence. He quietly drank his fish soup and watched the woman in front of him as she ate quietly, and his heart seemed to gradually calm down.

After eating, she tidied up the plates and brought them into the kitchen. He followed after her and neutrally said, “I’ll help you.”

She glanced at the sleeves he had not folded up and laughed. “Forget it; I’m afraid you might break all my plates. By then, I’d have to spend money buying a whole new set.”

Hearing that, he narrowed his eyes. “Are you doubting me?”

“Ah, no, no. I’m not doubting you. I just feel that the President of the prestigious Yuchi Group shouldn’t be doing these kinds of things. Besides, you’re my boss and a guest at that. It’s alright to just leave these things to me.”

‘You’re my boss and a guest at that’. These eight words made him go quiet. It coincided with the words George had just said to him. You’re just her superior at work; don’t tell me you’re trying to control her private life too?

So, in her eyes, she had invited him for dinner because she was treating him as her boss? What if he wasn’t her boss? After all, she didn’t reject George, who came here to claim a free meal.

At this moment, his phone rang. Ye Moxuan glanced at it—it was the housekeeper—and answered. “Young Master Xuan, Old Master wants to know what time you will be back.”

He looked at Han Muzi and pursed his lips. “Soon.”

“I understand. The Old Master would like you to come back earlier, Young Master Xuan.”

“I understand.”

After ending the call, she glanced at him as he looked at his phone, and asked, “Is your family urging you to go back?” Before he could even answer, she added, “It’s getting late; why don’t you hurry back home?”

Her words made him scowl straightaway, and he stared at the woman in front of him unhappily. “You want me to leave so badly?”

She didn’t answer. Of course, I don’t want you to leave. But, even if he stayed, what could they do? Right now, she was anxious to call Su Jiu and ask if there was a better solution because she couldn’t feel any fluctuations in Ye Moxuan’s memory—he was way too calm when facing her.

“No.” Han Muzi smiled faintly; she lowered her eyelids as she said, “Then, if I asked you to stay, would you?”

He narrowed his eyes at her words and stared at her dangerously. “Are you sure?”

I thought he would reject me. I didn’t expect he would actually… “Ahem,” She placed the plates and cutlery in the kitchen cabinet. “Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“You need to take responsibility for your words.” Ye Moxuan’s gaze pierced straight into her back while he coldly said, “Otherwise, don’t say it.”

She paused mid-step and turned back to look at him. “Then, what if one day, you find out that you failed to keep the promises you made?” He promised that he would take good care of herself and Little Bean, but he met with an accident and lost all his memories. She wasn’t angry at him, but her heart ached for him. Nobody could have predicted that an accident would happen.

He narrowed his eyes at her words; his gaze deepened with a touch of inquisitiveness. The words this woman said were truly strange and unusual. “I won’t. I always keep my promises.”

She smiled faintly. “Then, I’ll just have to wait for you to deliver on your promises. Alright, it’s not early anymore. You should leave for today. I’ve already packed up your clothes from yesterday; don’t forget to bring them with you.” Without waiting for his reaction or response, she walked into the kitchen. By the time she had finished clearing up, the living room had returned to its usual peacefulness.

She opened the door and peered downstairs—his car was gone. Seems like he truly left. She hurriedly went back into her room to get her phone to call Su Jiu.

Su Jiu must have been taking care of her kids when she answered the phone—there were children’s voices around her.

“Secretary Su, I’m sorry for calling you at this hour. You—”

“It’s not a problem, Miss Muzi. How can I help you?”

“Mommy! Mommy!”

Hearing the children’s voices through the phone as they called out to Su Jiu, Han Muzi couldn’t help but laugh. “How energetic.”

“Sigh. Kids are a boisterous bunch. They’re so noisy it gives me a headache every day.”

Han Muzi seemed to hear the sound of someone getting up and Su Jiu coaxing her children. Very quickly, the surroundings began to quiet down.

“Miss Muzi, did you have any questions for me recently?”

“Yes.” Han Muzi told Su Jiu everything about the recent events. She was very distressed. “I feel like he doesn’t seem to have any special reaction. Didn’t you say interacting with familiar people would stimulate his memory? But why do I feel that… he hasn’t recalled a single thing?”

Su Jiu considered it for a while, then answered, “Actually, this isn’t something written in stone—it isn’t necessarily absolute; it’s more a matter of a possibility. Besides, from what you said… it doesn’t seem like you guys have been particularly intimate with each other?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 806

Intimate with each other? Apart from this afternoon, there was no intimate contact before.

When Su Jiu noticed that Han Muzi was too embarrassed to speak straightforwardly and merely casually mentioned it, she asked, “Then, do you think there were any special changes in him that time?”

Special changes? That day, Han Muzi had been so nervous that she subconsciously pushed him away before she was restrained by him. She was too embarrassed at that time, so she was not in the right mind to take note of any special changes in him. Only after being reminded by Su Jiu did she realize that she should have observed his reaction at the time.

“Why don’t you try to recall? Was there nothing special about his behavior at the time?”

Pursing her lips, Han Muzi tried to recall. At that time, Ye Moxuan’s movements seemed to have paused momentarily and that was when she found a chance to push him away. Was there something suspicious about that?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi frowned and said, “Maybe there was.”

“That’s right.” Smiling softly, Su Jiu continued, “If having intimate contact stimulates him, I suggest having more of it.”

Han Muzi was speechless. This Su Jiu is toxic. Why else would I hear a hint of ridicule in her words? She then asked, “Secretary Su, is it really okay for me to do that?”

“What’s the matter? If it wasn’t for the accident, you’d both be legally married. According to what you said about Young Master Ye, since he’s willing to be intimate with you, it means that he just doesn’t remember a lot of things, so his actions are all instinctual. If having intimate contact with him stimulates him, isn’t that a good thing? Since it can improve your relationship with him and restore his memories, what’s wrong with that?”

Han Muzi could not refute it at all as what she said made sense. After hanging up the call, she sighed again and again. Would she… have more intimate contact with Ye Moxuan in the future? How should she do it? Should she follow Yan’s way of taking the initiative and rushing over to kiss him? When thinking of that scene, she shook her head abruptly and felt that she could not do such a thing. Ah, what an annoying problem.

…

At the Yuchi residence.

“Grandpa Yuchi, is Shen busy in the company these days? Why hasn’t he returned yet? He’s just recovered from a serious illness. Will his body be able to take the pressure?”

After hearing those words, Yuchi Jin let out a heavy sigh. “That workaholic… I don’t even know what he’s up to these days.”

After thinking for a while, Duanmu Xue said, “Could it be that there are too many things going on at the company? Why don’t… I go over and help?”

“You want to go help out at the company?” When Yuchi Jin heard her offer, he was happy. If Duanmu Xue worked at the company and got along with Xuan, he might develop feelings for her. However, what Yuchi Shen said the other day rang in his head once more while the image of his cold face appeared.

Duanmu Xue was smart, well-behaved, and witty. She came from a well-off family and her looks were above par. If the Yuchi Family and Duanmu family could join forces through marriage, it would be of great help to the Yuchi Family’s future success. Logically speaking, no one would dislike such a girl. However, even though Xuan had lost his memory, he still had no interest nor affection toward Duanmu Xue. This gave him a slight headache.

“Yes, Grandpa Yuchi. I used to follow my brother a lot, so I know many things and will be able to help out Shen.”

This is fine, but… While Yuchi Jin was thinking, the servant next to him said, “Young Master is back.”

The two raised their heads and saw Yuchi Shen walking in. With cold eyes and no expression on his face, he walked over to Yuchi Jin. “Grandpa.”

Yuchi Jin nodded and said, “Did you just get off work? If there are too many things to do, just leave matters to your secretary. If it’s still too much to handle, just leave the matters aside first. You’ve just recovered and should not overwork yourself. You should get something to eat.”

“It’s fine. I’ve already eaten.”

“Already eaten?” Narrowing his eyes, Yuchi Jin questioned, “Where did you eat? What did you eat?”

After hearing this tone, Ye Moxuan frowned and said coldly, “Grandpa, I’m already an adult.” The implication behind his words was that he could decide for himself what he wanted to do. Although Yuchi Jin was his grandfather, the way he treated him was as if he was still a little child. He even had to ask about his meals.

His response made Yuchi Jin stunned for a moment as he did not expect his grandson to counter him in front of Duanmu Xue. Embarrassed, he suddenly became unhappy and put on a straight face. “What’s with your attitude? I’m your grandfather. What’s wrong with me showing concern for you? How can you talk to your grandfather like this?”

“Grandpa Yuchi, don’t be angry. Shen might just be in a bad mood after working overtime. Don’t be angry. Let me massage your shoulders.” Duanmu Xue promptly got up and massaged Yuchi Jin’s shoulders. She then said in a seductive tone while looking at Ye Moxuan, “Shen, Grandpa Yuchi hasn’t eaten dinner as he was waiting for you to come home, so hurry up and apologize to him.

Ye Moxuan frowned when he heard this. “Why haven’t you had dinner? In the future, you don’t have to wait for me anymore.”

“What do you mean? Do you mean to say that you’ll be working overtime everyday?” After all, this was his grandson. He would only feel better after asking this. “Do you have to work overtime every day? Didn’t I just say that you shouldn’t overdo things since your body has just recovered? Why are you so disobedient?”

“Grandpa, I know my limits. I’ll go upstairs first.” After speaking, Ye Moxuan turned around and left.

“Shen!” Seeing this, Duanmu Xue hurriedly caught up to him. However, Ye Moxuan was taking such large strides that she had to jog to keep up with his pace. “Shen, stop. I want to tell you something!”

He did not stop walking and indifferently said, “I’m tired today. If you have anything to say, tell me tomorrow.” He walked up the stairs while Duanmu Xue had no choice but to stay where she was. She looked upset as she looked at his back. Why is nothing working?

From the moment she knew that he was injured, she had been coming to see him and take care of him everyday. However, he still treated her so coldly and did not even want to look at her or listen to a complete sentence from her. He’s lost his memory and has no one on his mind. So, why can’t I squeeze myself in? The more Duanmu Xue thought about it, the more she felt wronged. She clenched her fists as her eyes reddened.

“Xue.” Yuchi Jin’s voice sounded from behind, and she quickly calmed her emotions and smiled at him. “Grandpa, I’m alright. You haven’t had dinner, right? I’ll accompany you.”

The old man nodded. After dinner, Duanmu Xue went back to the Duanmu Residence and smashed her phone right after stepping through the door.

Duanmu Aotian and Duanmu Zhe, who were in the living room, squinted their eyes at this sight.

“What’s wrong? Who messed with my baby granddaughter?”

Hearing Duanmu Aotian’s voice, she hurried over and asked, “Grandpa, what’s the situation with the engagement?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 807

“Hmm?” Duanmu Zhe seemed to have caught on to something. “What engagement? Who’s getting engaged to whom?”

After a mere glance, Duanmu Xue simply ignored him.

Duanmu Zhe looked at her in amusement. “I was only gone for a little trip, but something has happened without my knowledge? And what’s with that gaze of yours? Why does it seem like I’ve wronged you?”

“It’s like this.” Duanmu Aotian had always treasured his two grandchildren, so he took the initiative to explain to his grandson, “Previously, our family had a marriage contract with the Yuchi family, but Yuchi Jin’s daughter didn’t approve of it. It was with much regret that our two families weren’t able to be unified through marriage. That was when I discussed the matter with Yuchi Jin, saying that even if our children could not marry each other, our grandchildren could. Recently, that old man, Yuchi Jin, found his grandson, so he’s preparing for a marriage between our two families.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Zhe raised his eyebrows and asked, “He found his grandchild? He’s a guy?”

“Yes.”

Glancing at Duanmu Xue who was next to him, Duanmu Zhe smiled. “Grandpa, if you want to help Xue get engaged, I don’t think she would easily agree with that temperament of hers. Plus, just how old are both of you? You’re still interested in being a matchmaker for the youths?”

“Zhe, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re not allowed to talk to Grandpa like that.” Duanmu Xue stretched her hands in front of Duanmu Aotian to defend him while warning angrily.

It was very common for the siblings to act like this. Duanmu Aotian cheerfully replied, “Do you think I want to be a matchmaker? If it wasn’t because of Xue…”

“Xue?” Narrowing his eyes, Duanmu Zhe asked, “What’s going on with her?”

“You should ask her yourself. When a certain someone got injured, she kept visiting the Yuchi Residence everyday. Now that he’s better, she’s still going every day. She visits so frequently as if she wants to offer herself as their granddaughter-in-law.”

When he heard this, Duanmu Zhe understood. “Xue’s heart has been moved?”

That’s strange. Xue’s taste in men had always been hard to decipher. After so many years, the only man she has ever wanted to pursue was that Ye Moxuan guy. But Ye Moxuan got married not too long ago. Could it be that she has finally given up on him?

Biting her lower lip, Duanmu Xue looked over at her older brother. “Zhe, I’ll take care of my affairs myself. You’re not allowed to interfere with my affairs this time.”

“You’re talking as if I’ve been meddling with your affairs,” said Duanmu Zhe.

“Are you saying that you didn’t previously?”

“Previously? The previous time was different, okay? Just think about it. If I hadn’t stopped you, then…”

“Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. The matters of the past are no longer important. I’m not blaming you for interfering in the past. But Zhe, you must promise me to not interfere in my affairs anymore.”

Duanmu Zhe was starting to get a headache as he looked at her. “I was helping you the previous time. How could you say I’m meddling with your affairs?”

“Just answer me. Will you promise me this?”

“Alright, alright. I promise you.” She was his sister, after all, so he had no choice but to agree to her request. “Then Grandpa, you must help Xue fight for it.”

“Alright. As long as it’s what Xue wants, I’ll help you. Are you feeling tired today? You should go ahead and rest.”

“Okay. Grandpa, don’t forget about this matter and discuss this with the Yuchi Family tomorrow. I’ll head upstairs first.”

When she left, Duanmu Zhe squinted his eyes and asked, “What sort of person is this grandchild of the Yuchi family? How did he win over Xue?”

What sort of person? Stretching out his hand to caress his beard, Duanmu Aotian replied while smiling inexplicably, “He’s quite somebody. I’m fond of him as well. He and Xue would make a perfect match.”

“If even Grandpa is praising him, then I have to see what kind of person he is.”

The next day, Duanmu Zhe went directly to the Yuchi Group, wanting to get to know the man his grandfather praised so much and who was capable of moving his sister’s heart.

When he arrived at the front desk, the lady there was a little overwhelmed. “Y-You are?” After all, Duanmu Zhe was quite popular in this circle for his looks and status and this made many young women fall in love with him. There was a lot of news and photos about him in WeChat Moments and even in magazines.

He previously commented that he liked cute, petite women who had clear eyes, long hair, and bangs. This comment of his broke the hearts of many tall women. On the other hand, those petite women immediately grew their hair long and cut bangs. However, there was no way for them to get close to him, so they could only fervently apply for jobs at the Duanmu Group.

“My name’s Duanmu Zhe. I’d like to meet President Yuchi. May I?”

It took a long time for the lady at the front desk to react. Then, she nodded quickly. “Of course.”

Parting his lips, he asked with his charming voice, “Is it okay if I don’t have an appointment?”

“Yes, of course. I’ll bring you up.”

“Thank you.”

As the front desk lady brought Duanmu Zhe to the elevator, her heart was thumping all the while. She had never thought she could ever be so close to this man and considered it as a historic moment in her life.

When they were on the way to the President’s office, they passed by the secretary’s room when a figure suddenly stepped out. The moment he saw that figure pass by, Duanmu Zhe found the person’s back to be familiar. Quickly stopping, he looked back at the figure in the distance and slowly narrowed his eyes.

That person… If he was not mistaken, that was Han Muzi. He had been surprised the other day when he met her in the restaurant. He did not think that they would meet again so soon. But, why is she here? Duanmu Zhe was feeling very puzzled.

The lady from the front desk saw that he had stopped and turned to look at Han Muzi’s departing back. Her heart was feeling sour for a moment. “President Duanmu, what are you looking at?”

Pointing to the retreating figure, he asked, “Who’s that person who just passed by?”

It turned out that he was indeed looking at her. Good-looking people were indeed different. Even Duanmu Zhe would give her a second look, and even asked about her. Although the lady from the front desk was feeling sour in her heart, she still replied, “She’s the assistant secretary we just hired. She’s quite fortunate to be here. After looking for an assistant secretary for so long, she was the first to pass the interview.”

“Assistant secretary,” Duanmu Zhe repeated these words, still looking puzzled. He was sure that the woman was Han Muzi, but… why was she here as an assistant secretary?

“Miss Lin, this is the President of the Duanmu Group. He wishes to meet with the President.”

Someone from the Duanmu Group? Miss Lin immediately raised her head, and after taking a look at Duanmu Zhe, she said, “Please wait a moment. I’ll talk to the President.” After stepping through the door, Miss Lin soon came out again. “Please come in.”

Smiling politely at her, Duanmu Zhe tidied up his clothes before entering. If this man was going to be his future brother-in-law, he should leave him a good impression. However, when Duanmu Zhe saw the man sitting at the desk, he was completely dumbfounded.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 808

Ye Moxuan?! Why is he here? Staring at Ye Moxuan who was sitting there, Duanmu Zhe’s eyes were filled with question marks. At first, he coincidentally stumbled across Han Muzi. Now, he met Ye Moxuan. After freezing for a few seconds, he turned to look at the lady from the front desk and Miss Lin. “This is the office of Yuchi Group’s President? Did I enter the wrong room?”

The two of them were thrown off by his sudden question and they looked at him with doubt in their gaze. Smiling slightly, Miss Lin explained, “Mr. Duanmu, you sure know how to crack a joke. There’s only one president’s office in the Yuchi Group. How would you have entered the wrong room?”

“Then… you’re telling me this person is Yuchi Shen?”

Miss Lin nodded, giving him a strange look. “Is there a problem, Mr. Duanmu?”

He was so shocked that he could not return to his senses just yet. Not being able to figure out what was going on in front of him, he could only wave his hand to indicate that everything was fine. Then, he walked in.

After entering, Duanmu Zhe kept looking at Ye Moxuan while wondering if he had recognized the wrong person. However, no matter which angle he looked at the man, he looked just like the man from before. Duanmu Zhe would never recognize the wrong person, but… Why had Ye Moxuan become Yuchi Shen?

Furthermore, Han Muzi is here as his assistant secretary? If they’re still together, how could he be engaged to Xue? I only went on a trip and everything has changed? Could it be that something happened to their marriage, or Ye Moxuan regretted it? Tsk. This man changes his heart so quickly. With this thought in mind, Duanmu Zhe approached Ye Moxuan and waved. “Hi, it’s been a long time.”

Frowning, Ye Moxuan asked, “Who are you?”

Duanmu Zhe was speechless. “How could that be? I’ve never offended you before, so you can’t possibly be holding a grudge against me, right? You’re not even planning to recognize me now?”

Looking at the stranger in front of him, Ye Moxuan did not have any recollection. However, listening to the man’s tone when he was speaking earlier, they had to be acquainted. Ever since he lost his memory, everyone was a stranger to him. Hence, he asked once more, “We’ve met before?”

Duanmu Zhe did not know what to say. What sort of situation is this? Ye Moxuan does not recognize me? Duanmu Zhe initially thought he was joking, but after looking at his solemn and indifferent expression, he did not think so anymore. When he noticed that Ye Moxuan was indeed looking at him as a stranger, he concluded that the man did not recognize him. Suddenly, he did not know what to say. He only came to Yuchi Group to see who his future brother-in-law would be, but he did not expect things to turn out this way.

“Are you looking for me?”

Helpless, Duanmu Zhe could only introduce himself. However, the other party told him coldly, “Before you came in, my secretary already informed me of your identity. If there’s nothing else, I would like to carry on with my work.” After finishing that sentence, he reminded again, “It’s working hours.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Zhe was speechless. The man was still as cold as before, but he just did not recognize him. Although he had a lot of questions to ask, he felt that the situation was too strange, so he needed to go back to investigate. As such, he shook his head. “Nothing much. I just came by to get acquainted with you. Since it’s working hours now, I won’t bother you any longer.”

After he left, Ye Moxuan went into deep thought. Judging by the look in Duanmu Zhe’s eyes, they seemed to know each other previously.

After leaving the office, Duanmu Zhe stepped outside and saw that the lady from the front desk and Miss Lin had both left. He then walked in the same direction as he came, but stopped when he passed by the secretary’s office. He had seen Han Muzi here just now, and the front desk lady said that she was an assistant secretary. Suddenly, he sort of understood why he had seen her here, but… why had she become an assistant secretary?

As he was thinking about this, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Raising his head, he saw Han Muzi returning with a folder in her hand. Immediately, he walked over and stopped her.

Seeing Duanmu Zhe, she froze for a while before furrowing her brows. Not him again?

“We meet again.” Curling his lips at her, Duanmu Zhe blinked. “Are you free to have a chat with me?”

However, he did not expect her to answer him directly, “No, I’m not.” Then, she promptly walked past him and left.

At the sight of this wayward woman, Duanmu Zhe felt helpless. Turning around and facing her back, he said, “I won’t take too much of your time. We can even talk right here.”

However, Han Muzi went directly into the secretary’s office as if she had not heard him. Seeing this, Duanmu Zhe was not angry but started thinking with his hand on his chin. These two people are equally temperamental. It seems that I need to go back and figure out what’s going on before doing anything else.

Back at the Duanmu Residence.

“Tell me, what happened here? Why has Ye Moxuan become the heir to the Yuchi Family and is somehow getting engaged to you?”

At this moment, Duanmu Xue was lying in front of the computer screen and hugging a pillow while watching a drama. After hearing her brother’s words, she jumped like an electrocuted monkey and asked, “Zhe, didn’t you promise me that you’ll stop interfering in my affairs? Why did you go back on your word? Why did you look into this matter behind my back?”

Seeing the hair on her body standing on its end, Duanmu Zhe stretched out his hands helplessly. “I wasn’t investigating you. I just wanted to see for myself the man who won over my sister’s heart. After all, you had only ever been swayed by Ye Moxuan. I was wondering who else in this world was capable of catching your attention, so… out of curiosity, I went to the Yuchi Group.”

Not wanting to listen to his explanation, Duanmu Xue yelled angrily, “You’re just getting back at me and not respecting me as your sister at all!”

“Xue, I just wanted to see how great of a man he is. Besides, since you want to be engaged to him, wouldn’t I find out about his identity eventually?” At this point, Duanmu Zhe was no longer smiling as his face turned serious while he said in a stern tone, “If you didn’t want me to know about this, does that mean that you’re hiding something from me?”

Hearing this, her face immediately changed as she looked away. “You promised me.”

“Yes, I did promise you. But before I promised you, you didn’t tell me that it was him you were getting engaged to.”

Turning her head angrily, she retorted, “So what? So what if the person getting engaged to me is him? I like him and I want to be with him. I’m your sister. Isn’t my happiness important?”

“Do you think that being with him will make you happy?” Duanmu Zhe sneered, “Does he even like you? If I heard correctly last night, you’re the one who brought up the engagement to Grandpa. Also, what’s going on with him?”

“Enough!” Duanmu Xue interrupted her brother aggressively. “I’m not going to tell you. Since you don’t see me as your sister anymore, then you’re not allowed to care about my matters. Whomever I get engaged to is none of your business. If you intervene again, I’ll go to Grandpa directly!”

Hearing this, he sighed helplessly. “Why do you have to be so stubborn?” Could emotions turn someone irrational?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 809

Ultimately, Duanmu Zhe was driven out by Duanmu Xue who slammed the door shut behind him. The sound was earth-shattering, causing many servants nearby to look over to see what was going on. Helplessly waving to them, he said, “Everyone, back to your own business. It’s not like you haven’t seen the young mistress lose her temper before.”

Hence, everyone dispersed and left. Then, Duanmu Zhe called his assistant and asked him to investigate Yuchi Shen. After hanging up, he looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he had never been lovesick before unlike his sister, who would do such crazy things for love.

…

Han Muzi went about her day like normal, and she was about to head to the subway station after getting off work. Once again, like part of a routine, Ye Moxuan’s car followed behind her and he told her that the car could not be parked here, so she should get in. Then, he drove her to the front of her house and got down from the car with her. Before Han Muzi could say anything, he asked, “I dropped my tie here yesterday. Is it with you?”

Tie? Blinking, she took another look at Ye Moxuan. After he left last night, she did not seem to have seen anything that was left behind. “I don’t think I saw it.”

Moving closer, Ye Moxuan asked again, “Did you really not see it, or are you hiding it away from me?”

At this question, Han Muzi was speechless. With such an imposing appearance, she was starting to feel a little guilty. Although she had not seen anything of his yesterday, she also did not clean up the room. What if he had left something behind and she just did not notice it?

Lacking confidence, Han Muzi stepped back and coughed. “I’m not that perverted to do such a thing. Stop looking at me like that. Whether or not you’ve left something behind, you can just go and have a look yourself.”

As such, Ye Moxuan followed her upstairs in a grandiose manner and found the tie that he had dropped under the coffee table. Picking it up, he tied it around his neck as usual. Standing by the side, she looked at him tying his tie, and started thinking, How did the tie end up under the coffee table? It’s no wonder I didn’t see anything left behind yesterday.

When Ye Moxuan was done tying his tie, he saw from the corner of his eye that Han Muzi was staring at him with pursed lips. His cold gaze fell on her. “Why are you staring at me?”

Immediately after hearing his voice, Han Muzi came back to her senses and shook her head subconsciously while looking into his black eyes. “No, it’s nothing. I was just thinking… How did the tie end up under the coffee table? It’s really strange.”

Hearing her say this, Ye Moxuan’s movements stiffened and an unnatural look flashed under his dark eyes. Then, he lifted his thin lips and sneered at her. “Why? Are you suspecting that I tossed it under there?”

Han Muzi stared confusedly at him. She swore that she had never thought about this until he said it. She was merely puzzled and wondered how the tie had gotten there. However, after hearing Ye Moxuan’s sudden words, she suddenly thought that it was possible. If he didn’t toss the tie under the coffee table, did it grow legs to crawl under there? But… Why would Ye Moxuan do this? It didn’t seem like he had any reason to do so.

While Han Muzi was still making up her mind about what had happened, she saw that Ye Moxuan’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, so she hurriedly explained herself, “Maybe I didn’t see it last night and accidentally kicked it under the coffee table. I’m not suspecting you at all, so don’t be angry. Oh right, are you hungry? I’ll cook something, how about that?”

The last sentence sounded like she was offering compensation. Unexpectedly, Ye Moxuan’s cold expression eased a little after listening to her. He then nodded before sneering again, “You’re hoping to compensate by making me a meal?”

“Then… I’ll treat you to a week’s worth of meals?” After speaking, Han Muzi felt that what she said might have been too ridiculous. How could he agree to that?

Who would have thought that Ye Moxuan would snort and say, “Your sincerity just meets the bare minimum.”

Han Muzi was speechless.

At the Yuchi Residence.

“Grandfather Yuchi, will Shen be back early for dinner today? I’ve been here for several days already. If he works overtime every day, it’ll be hard on his body. Why don’t you talk to Shen about this and advise him?” In the past few days, Duanmu Xue had been pestering Yuchi Jin and was causing him quite a headache.

Although he was fond of this young woman and hoped she could get engaged to Xuan and become his granddaughter-in-law, Xuan did not share that thought. As such, this young woman kept running around and pestering him, hoping that he, as the grandfather, could do something about it. If he could handle Yuchi Shen, he would not have to eat dinner alone.

“Grandpa Yuchi, is that okay?” Duanmu Xue kept shaking his hand.

As he was starting to get impatient, he had to put on a calm face, so he said, “That’s enough. Men like him work hard, so it’s normal for them to be busy occasionally. Furthermore, it’s only been a few days of overtime work. If you’re able to advise him then go ahead; if not, I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything even though I’m his grandfather.”

Thinking that Yuchi Jin adored her very much, it caught her by surprise that he would talk to her this way. As a result, she suddenly came to her senses. After all, Yuchi Jin was the founder of the Yuchi Group and was a top figure among many people. Her recent actions were inappropriate. With that in mind, Duanmu Xue instantly let go of his hand, sat aside obediently, and bowed her head to apologize. “I’m sorry, Grandfather Yuchi. I’ve been too worried these days, so… I’ve been pestering you to talk about these things. I promise that I won’t do it anymore. Grandfather Yuchi, please don’t be angry.”

Yuchi Jin’s impatience subsided a bit after seeing the other party apologize with such a pitiful appearance. While sighing, he said, “Xuan is my grandson. Although I’ve not been with him for a very long time, I’m very clear about his personality. His focus on his career is a good thing. Furthermore, what he said yesterday was right. He’s already an adult who can make his own decisions. The Yuchi family has a verbal agreement regarding the engagement with the Duanmu family, and I’ll find a suitable time to discuss with your grandfather regarding the details and date for your engagement. However… it all still depends on how you two grow and nurture your relationship. If he’s always unwilling to pay you any attention, I can’t possibly follow him around to nag him and request him to do something about it, can I?”

Lowering her posture, Duanmu Xue nodded and agreed. “You’re right. These past few days, I’ve been wrong. I won’t do this again in the future. I’ll listen to your words and fight for myself.”

“Alright. Let’s find a time tomorrow to have dinner with your grandfather. We’ll formally talk about the engagement then.”

Duanmu Xue raised her head in surprise when she heard this. “Grandfather Yuchi, would that be okay? Shen…”

Yuchi Jin snorted coldly. “I may not be able to meddle in any of his other affairs, but when it comes to his marriage, I must have a say.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 810

Duanmu Xue left the Yuchi Residence feeling content. As she was leaving, she happened to stumble upon Ye Moxuan who was heading in and could barely suppress her excitement while walking toward him. “Shen, you’re back? Are you tired from working overtime today?”

Glancing at the other person, Ye Moxuan acknowledged her faintly and promptly walked away without another glance.

Duanmu Xue felt a strong wind sweeping past the side of her body, and the hand that she was about to reach out also awkwardly stopped mid-air. She angrily clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. After a moment, she dropped her hand and smiled to comfort herself.

It was not a big deal. The colder his character, the better it was. It simply showed that he was not a man suited for just anyone. As long as she got engaged to him and found a suitable date for them to get married, she would not have to be worried about him not eventually falling for her. After all, she was not any ordinary girl, and she had ways to make him fall in love with her. Thinking of this, Duanmu Xue felt much better and proceeded to leave.

Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan greeted Yuchi Jin as usual and was about to head upstairs when his grandfather unexpectedly stopped him. “Been working overtime these days?”

Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips for a moment before shaking his head. “I’m coping fine with the company’s affairs, and I don’t need to work overtime.”

After hearing this, Yuchi Jin frowned. “Don’t need to work overtime? Then where have you been these past few days? Why don’t you come back for dinner if you’re not working overtime in the company?”

“I have something going on recently.” As for what it was, Ye Moxuan would not simply reveal this information.

Yuchi Jin wanted to ask his grandson what was going on, but when he thought about what Ye Moxuan had said to him last night, he thought it was inappropriate to ask. Thus, he swallowed his words and instead said, “You don’t have anything going on tomorrow, do you? I’ve invited Xue as well as her grandfather to have dinner with us tomorrow at 7pm.”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Moxuan frowned as an unpleasant color appeared in his eyes.

“Haven’t I said before that I don’t care about her? Grandfather, why do you still want to pair us together?”

Yuchi Jin snorted. “It’s alright. You can start paying attention to her now. Xue cares about you a lot; she’s beautiful and has a good family background. If you’re more attentive toward her, you’ll notice her good qualities.”

This rendered Ye Moxuan speechless. For some reason, he would have an uncomfortable feeling whenever he saw Duanmu Xue; he did not like the way she looked at him and how she wanted to be intimate with him. It made him very resistant toward her, which was why he did not want to pay her any more attention.

“Xuan, believe me. When it comes to marriage, Xue is your best candidate at the moment.”

When it comes to marriage… For some reason, a woman’s delicate face suddenly appeared in front of Ye Moxuan’s eyes. She had tears in her eyes and was saying ‘no’ while looking at him. Stunned, he wondered why he was thinking of her at this time.

“Did you hear me? Dinner tomorrow at 7pm. If you don’t come, I won’t ever forgive you.”

After returning to his senses, Ye Moxuan thought of Yuchi Jin’s words and replied coldly, “I’ll be there.” Even if he avoided it this time, there would always be a next time. As such, it was better for him to get it all over with at once.

Yuchi Jin smiled suddenly and said, “I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”

“By the way, Grandfather… have I always lived in the Yuchi Residence?” Ye Moxuan suddenly asked.

The smile on Yuchi Jin’s face suddenly froze; he was displeased. “Why are you asking me this? I’ve told you before. I raised you with my own two hands. In the future, you’ll inherit the entire Yuchi family. Seeing that you’re asking me something like this, does this mean that you think I lied to you? Would I simply hand over our assets to an outsider?”

Ye Moxuan did not know what to say. It was not that he doubted Yuchi Jin’s words; he was doubting his life experience and identity after waking up and forgetting who he was. It was Yuchi Jin who said he was his grandfather. He was told that he had gone out to sea and hit his head on a stone, injuring his brain—that was how he lost his memory. However, his grandfather had told him not to worry because he would find the best doctor to treat him.

This grandfather indeed treated him very well, but Ye Moxuan didn’t feel all that close to him. Even so, relatives would not lie as the same blood still ran within them. Moreover, the Yuchi family had such a big business, so his grandfather would not just give everything up to an outsider.

“Is it because you’ve remembered something recently? Does your head still hurt? Do you want me to call the doctor to check on you?”

Ye Moxuan said lightly after shaking his head, “No need for that. I’m fine.”

“That’s good to hear. Are you still taking the medicine that Dr. Hao gave you? It’s alright, Xuan. You’re my grandson, and whether you have your old memories or not won’t change this fact. Don’t pressure yourself. If you can’t remember things, then just don’t remember them. Anyway, memories of the past aren’t all that important. The most important thing… is to look ahead.”

He was an old man after all, so it was unavoidable that he had to be long-winded. After listening to him, Ye Moxuan said, “I’m going to rest.”

He then returned to his room and took a shower. When he came out and opened his wardrobe, he was taken aback when he saw the coat hanging inside. This coat was the one returned by Han Muzi.

That day, he saw her hanging his coat in her closet, and… her bra was draped over it; he even approached her to ask if she was a pervert. But what about now?

Despite knowing all these, he told her that he would never wear that coat ever again and did not want it anymore. However, after he took it back, he did not understand why he hung the coat directly in his closet as if he was enchanted. Moreover, it was at a spot that was immediately evident upon opening the doors to the closet.

Ye Moxuan stared at the coat for a long while, then he suddenly smiled. “Why do I have a feeling that I’m the pervert here?”

…

The next day, as she was going to cook Ye Moxuan a week’s worth of meals, Han Muzi had prepared a lot of fresh ingredients and even spent some time thinking about what to cook. After getting off work, she slowed down her walking pace as Ye Moxuan would follow after her and ask her to get into his car anyway. Sure enough, his car arrived after a little while. However, this time, without waiting for her to get into the car, he said, “I have something to do today.”

Hearing him, Han Muzi stopped walking. “What?” Did he mean to say that he was not going back to her place for dinner?

Ye Moxuan stared at her deeply and said in a lower voice, “But don’t you think of running away; we’re just postponing it. Just take it as you owe me for today.”

Han Muzi remained quiet. “Alright, I understand, but… what’s going on with you?” With curiosity in her heart, she could not help but ask.

Seeing the curious expression on the woman’s fair face, he suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason. Her eyes were incredibly clear with no impurities as she looked straight into his heart.

Ye Moxuan looked away, coughing slightly. “My grandfather has guests over for a meal.” When he was done explaining, he began to frown. Why did he explain so much to this woman? “Anyway, you owe me today, understand?”
