Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 841

Even though the two of them had never met officially, Yuchi Jin was actually familiar with Han Muzi. The woman had a close connection with his grandson’s life, and she was also the woman who stayed by his side the longest.

However, only Yuchi Jin knew her well while Han Muzi couldn’t even recognize him. That was why when Yuchi Jin first saw her, he knew immediately who she was.

Han Muzi stood motionlessly and smiled at him while blinking her eyes. “Old Master, do you know me?”

Her words pulled Yuchi Jin’s mind back as he glanced at her. A smile was dangling by the woman’s lips while her eyes had a sly look. Then, he darkened his face. “That’s an interesting question.”

Is she actually asking me if I know her? Her face shows that she doesn’t know me at all. Yuchi Jin sneered inside of him. Looks like this girl is more clever than I thought. Yet Yuchi Jin still felt shocked when he saw her.

Before he came, he imagined the girl to be a freshly-graduated college student or some vain woman, so he thought that by giving her cash and warnings, it would be easy to make her leave. However, what he never expected was that the woman was neither a college graduate nor an ordinary person.

I should have considered that, based on my grandson’s weird temperament, he wouldn’t simply fall for anyone. In the past years, his heart has only been moved by one woman. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect him to fall into her hands again. If that’s the case, then we’re in big trouble!

“Old Master, what’s interesting about my question?” Han Muzi tilted her head to ask him. She knew from the start that Yuchi Jin was familiar with her, but before he admitted it himself, she… could play the fool too. Besides, he didn’t give a word of explanation when he wiped away Ye Moxuan’s memory of her.

Meanwhile, Yuchi Jin gave the woman in front of him a thorough look as he squinted his eyes. Compared to her photos, she was more beautiful in person. Her features were exquisite while her face exuded a classical vibe. Along with the cold aura around her, she was the pinnacle of the beauty of eastern women.

My grandson has a good eye to like such a woman. Nonetheless, deep down, he believed that Duanmu Xue was the only one who was qualified to be his granddaughter-in-law. No matter how good-looking the woman in front of him was, she would never be qualified. Since she wants to play the fool, then I’ll let her be.

Yuchi Jin let out a grunt and retracted his sight. “Since you’ve been clinging on to my grandson, don’t you know who I am? And you still have the guts to ask me if I know you. I can see that you’re quite bold.”

Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Old Master, thank you for your praises, but… I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. What do you mean by… clinging on to your grandson? Ever since I came into the company, I have always been following the rules. It seems that I haven’t done anything that crossed the line, right?”

Yuchi Jin could hear that she was quibbling with him, so he grunted coldly and beat his hand firmly on the table. “How dare you say that you haven’t crossed the line? Do you want me to pull in some witnesses to expose you?”

“I have nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you pull some witnesses over to confront me, I will still have a clear conscience.” She smiled calmly without any nervousness.

Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes. If Yuchi Shen hadn’t told him firmly last night that he would never be engaged with Duanmu Xue and give up the one he loved, he would have believed that the girl in front of him was innocent. But how could he believe her now after what Yuchi Shen said? This little girl is actually stubborn and quibbling with me.

“Little girl, being dishonest isn’t an honorable thing to do.”

“Old Master, I don’t know what I should be honest about.”

Yuchi Jin gave the housekeeper beside him a look. Then, the housekeeper immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and walked up to Han Muzi. “Old Master Yuchi asked me to give this to you.” The housekeeper respectfully took the envelope to the front of Han Muzi. His attitude was kind, and there weren’t any vicious looks in his eyes.

Han Muzi thanked him, but she didn’t take the envelope from his hand.

“There is a check in the envelope. Take it!” Yuchi Jin sneered.

Han Muzi remained stationary as she blinked while looking at the envelope. “Old Master, I don’t understand what you mean. Why do I need to take your check?”

Yuchi Jin was getting impatient with her. “Don’t play a fool. I am the grandfather of Yuchi Shen. Do you want the check or not?”

Listening to him, Han Muzi mumbled in response, and her face showed that she seemed to have realized something. Then, she took the envelope from the housekeeper’s hand and smiled at him. “Thank you, uncle.”

The housekeeper looked at her as if he wanted to say something, but he took a step back at the end. His eyes showed his disappointment as he regarded Han Muzi. Last night, he stood outside the study, so naturally, he heard Yuchi Shen’s words to his grandfather. He was determined not to engage with Duanmu Xue and give up his loved one, and he even used his own identity to threaten his grandfather. At that time, the housekeeper was curious on what kind of a girl could cause the Young Master to be this stubborn, so he wanted to have a good look at her today. That was why when Han Muzi refused to receive the envelope, the housekeeper had a good impression of her, but he never expected her to take it at the end. Sigh, has our Young Master’s heartfelt effort gone to waste?

After she received the envelope, the smile on her face turned brighter as she bent in the direction of Yuchi Jin and thanked him. “Thank you, grandfather.”

The housekeeper was stunned. He thought that he had mistaken her words, then he looked toward Yuchi Jin and asked with his eyes, Did I just hear her calling him ‘grandfather’?

Naturally, Yuchi Jin also heard it. “What did you just say?” he scolded.

Han Muzi held onto the envelope. “I said thank you, grandfather. Didn’t you come to give me this first-meeting gift because you knew Xuan and I are together now? I still believe you shouldn’t spend so much, grandfather, but… since this is your token of regard, I definitely can’t refuse it.” After that, Han Muzi forced a smile at Yuchi Jin. “Grandfather, you need to tell me in advance the next time you visit me so that I can prepare a meeting gift for you too. Otherwise… I’d be embarrassed to receive your red packet without giving you something in return.” Her smile was bashful as her face blushed.

All of a sudden, the housekeeper, Yuchi Jin, and everyone present were rendered speechless. Is there something wrong with this girl? Can’t she see that Old Master Yuchi gave her the check because he wants her to leave Young Master Shen? She actually thinks that Yuchi Jin came to give her a first-meeting gift? Does she even have a brain? What is she thinking?

Yuchi Jin almost passed out because of her words. He pressed a hand on his chest and pointed at Han Muzi. “You…You…”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 842

The housekeeper was shocked. He thought that she had agreed to Old Master Yuchi’s words by accepting the money, but she actually…

He was taken aback by the turn of events as he regarded the sly look in the woman’s eyes. Then, he couldn’t help but quirk the corners of his lips slightly. Sure enough, this woman must be different from others to be able to attract Young Master. I should have believed in Young Master’s words when he said he wouldn’t give up on the one he loved. How can someone whom he spoke so firmly of give up simply and leave with the money?

“Grandfather, do you want some tea? I’ll go get you a cup of tea, alright?”

Yuchi Jin bellowed at her angrily, “You’re not allowed to call me grandfather!”

Han Muzi blinked with an innocent face. “Why? You have already handed me your first-meeting gift, so it’d be rude of me not to call you ‘grandfather’.”

“I gave you the money because—” Before he could finish his words, Han Muzi turned away to make some tea. The rest were left in the secretary room while looking at each other.

A moment later, Yuchi Jin looked at the housekeeper. “Where has she gone?”

The housekeeper blinked as he recalled the conversation just now, then he replied to him tentatively, “Maybe… she went to make some tea for you, Old Master Yuchi?”

Yuchi Jin remained silent. “What tea? Do you think I’ll drink her tea?”

The housekeeper covered his lips and coughed softly. “I can see that this little girl is smart.”

His praise upset Yuchi Jin. After all, he only wanted Duanmu Xue to be his granddaughter-in-law even at this moment. As he listened to him, Yuchi Jin let out a cold grunt. “That girl. How dare she play her little tricks in front of me! Not only does she want to keep the money, she also wants to take advantage of me. There’s no such good deal in this world!”

His tone was so strong that even the housekeeper was getting worried. Old Master Yuchi was an experienced and shrewd old man, who had been in the business world for more than ten years, while Han Muzi was only a young girl. As a housekeeper, he wouldn’t dare to say much, so he quietly stepped aside and remained silent.

“She is trying to play word games with me. Yu Bo, when she comes back later, tell her I won’t drink her tea. If she knows better, she will leave the company on her own accord; otherwise, I will drive her out of the company myself.”

The housekeeper remained quiet as he found it hard to say his concerns. He didn’t want to do it, but… he had no other choice.

After a while, Han Muzi came back with a cup of tea. The tea was steaming hot when she took it to the front of Old Master Yuchi. Then, she bent over to place the tea on the table. “Grandfather, I’ve just made this for you. If you don’t mind, you can have a try.”

Even though she really minded that Ye Moxuan’s grandfather wiped away their past and set him up to be engaged with other people because he didn’t want them to be together, he was still Ye Moxuan’s family after all. Not only that, he was his grandfather. Naturally, she hoped to gain his trust because she didn’t want her love with Ye Moxuan to be opposed or not to be blessed by an elder. In this world, there were many couples who were not favored by their elders, and they couldn’t even get a blessing from them, which was very upsetting.

Yuchi Jin stared at that cup of tea and let out a cold grunt; he didn’t even reach out to touch it. However, its scent still got its way into his nose since the cup was so close to him.

When he smelled the thick fragrance of the tea, he could feel his taste bud tingling. Yuchi Jin loved tea; everybody knew about it. Han Muzi didn’t have ample time to prepare, so she could only seize every chance she got.

“Yu Bo!” Yuchi Jin called the housekeeper.

Yu Bo came back around and fixed his eyes on the Old Master before looking at the cup of tea again. Then, he walked up to her resignedly. “Miss, since you’ve already accepted the check, it’s better for you to leave the company. It’ll be more decent for you to leave now while the matter isn’t serious yet to avoid…”

Han Muzi answered him with a grunt and looked toward Yuchi Jin. “Grandfather, are you giving me a day off?”

Yuchi Jin and the housekeeper were rendered speechless.

A while later, Yuchi Jin let out a cold grunt. “Yu Bo, you don’t need to be polite about it. Just cut to the chase.”

Yu Bo nodded firmly and took a step forward before speaking emphatically, “Miss Han, our Old Master has stated that you should immediately leave the company and the Young Master of the Yuchi family as soon as you accept the money. The money in the check is already enough for you to live the rest of your life worry-free. If you don’t know what’s good for you, the Yuchi family will take on tougher methods to make you leave. By that time, you would suffer minor physical pain if you’re lucky. But if it’s serious… I won’t put my bet on it.”

His words were direct. Yuchi Jin then glanced at Yu Bo with approval while his face showed his satisfaction.

Logically, after how clear they had stated to her, Han Muzi should just leave with the money if she was thin-skinned. However, she didn’t. Instead, she was still smiling while standing by the table. “Actually, I have the ability to make enough money, so you don’t need to worry about how I’m going to provide for myself, grandfather. And also… I thought that this check was a meeting gift by you, but since it is not, then I can’t accept it.”

With that, she placed the envelope back on the table.

Everybody was taken aback as they didn’t expect her to return the envelope. This was equivalent to returning the money to Old Master Yuchi and stating that she wouldn’t leave Yuchi Shen for money. Yu Bo became even more satisfied with her while looking at her.

However, Yuchi Ji’s face darkened, and he spoke fiercely, “What do you mean? How dare you return my money back to me after accepting it!”

Han Muzi smiled gently. “Grandfather, unless you say that this is your meeting gift to me, or else I won’t accept this money.”

Then, Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes. Ever since he first saw her, she wasn’t overbearing, and she didn’t show any trace of fear for him. She was calm and adaptable when dealing with the situation.

This personality of hers really surprised him. Yuchi Jin had always admired this kind of woman since they were better than those who cried and panicked at first sight of trouble. What a shame!

“Did you open the envelope when you were making tea?” Yuchi Jin asked in a low voice. Yet, before she could reply to him, he asked again, “Are you saying that I didn’t give you enough? Then tell me how much you want. As long as you’re willing to leave my grandson, I’ll give you as much as you want.”

He was generous with his words, as if he was willing to give away everything for his grandson.

Han Muzi raised her eyebrows. Then, she couldn’t help but ask, “Grandfather, are you saying that you will give me anything as long as I’m willing to leave him?”

Yuchi Jin looked at her with displeasure while he answered her firmly.

However, Yu Bo noticed that something was wrong. He felt that the woman in front of him was no ordinary little girl who could be swayed that easily, and also, her expression now… showed that she didn’t actually want anything.

Sure enough, the words that came out of her mouth a second later almost put everyone in shock. “Grandfather, I don’t want much, but since you are willing to give away everything, then I’ll take the whole Yuchi residence.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 843

Everyone was almost shell-shocked by her words!

The several men in suits looked toward her in disbelief as their faces turned pale. This girl really dares to ask him about it. Seeing how much she is demanding, it looks like Old Master Yuchi is going to be furious. Then, all of them glanced at Old Master Yuchi.

Sure enough, he was so angry that his face had turned dark. He pointed at her furiously. “W-What did you just say? Say it again.”

Han Muzi let out a sweet smile with her red lips. “Grandfather, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say just now that I can have whatever I want? And isn’t Yuchi Shen more important than the Yuchi residence in your eyes? If you’re not giving me what I want, then I won’t leave him. After all, to me… even if you hand over the whole Yuchi residence, I still won’t leave him.”

Her words stunned Yuchi Jin as he didn’t expect her to say that she wouldn’t leave even if he handed over the whole Yuchi residence to her. How much of her words is true? Is she this confident because she knows that I won’t agree to it?

“Heh,” he sneered. “It doesn’t matter if you want it or not. I won’t agree to such a ridiculous request. If you think that I’ve offered you too little money, then I’ll add more to you. Just take the money and leave!”

Han Muzi stood stationary. After explaining to him for so long, she suddenly felt a bit tired. She didn’t know when Ye Moxuan would reach here, but because he was his grandfather, she couldn’t be too harsh with her words. However, she really was tired dealing with him, and it was obvious that he had already revealed his true intentions, so he wouldn’t play along with her anymore.

She let out a sigh inside her and said to him seriously, “Grandfather Yuchi, it’s impossible for me to leave him no matter what you give me.”

Seeing her this way, Yuchi Jin squinted his sharp eyes and grunted coldly. “I didn’t expect you to find us here.”

Hearing his words, Han Muzi was startled as she lifted her head to look at his eyes. Is he finally facing off with me and has stopped playing along with me? If that’s the case, I’ll just be frank to him.

However, just as Han Muzi twitched her lips, a cold voice of a man came from the door. “Grandfather, what are you bothering her for?”

This familiar and deep voice… Han Muzi felt the joy inside her and immediately turned her head toward the source of the voice. Ye Moxuan was there standing by the secretary room door while wearing a simple suit. The cold aura lingered around him as he watched the scene in the room with his chilling eyes, then he strode toward Han Muzi.

She wanted to call out for him, but he grabbed hold of her delicate wrist and pulled her aside. “I’m the one who is clinging on to her. So, grandfather, you can come at me.”

Ye Moxuan’s sudden appearance caused Yuchi Jin to squint his eyes. He glanced at Han Muzi, who was behind Ye Moxuan, with displeasure and pressed his lips. “Didn’t you have some more time before your office hours? What is it? Did you come early just for this woman? Or did she secretly report to you by using making tea as an excuse just now?”

While hiding behind Ye Moxuan, Han Muzi felt wronged all of a sudden. She really did make the tea sincerely without any plan of reporting to him. Naturally, she wasn’t those kinds of women who would report to their men right away after being treated unfairly. After all, the situation was too complicated for her to drag in Ye Moxuan since he didn’t know some of the things that she and Yuchi Jin knew.

Secondly, Old Master Yuchi never liked her anyway. Hence, if he realized that she reported to Ye Moxuan, his impression of her would only get worse. That was why she wouldn’t report to anyone no matter what happened. With that in mind, how did Ye Moxuan know about this and came at the right time?

“Grandfather, Muzi isn’t the kind of person who reports behind others’ backs.” Just when she was confused, Ye Moxuan came up to speak up for her with his cold voice. “I’ve already guessed that you would come here, grandfather. When I didn’t see you this morning, I predicted that you might be in the company. I never expected… to be right.”

Seeing his own grandson exposing him this openly, Yuchi Jin couldn’t hold on to his face, so he scoffed angrily. “So what? Do you remember what you replied to me last night? What a load of nonsense. Since you’re not willing to act, then I, your grandfather, had to come here myself.”

Ye Moxuan could feel his temple throbbing as he uttered to him coldly, “Grandfather, please go back. I will handle this myself.”

“How would you like to handle this?” Yuchi Jin squinted at Han Muzi with discontent. “By keeping her here?”

Ye Moxuan’s face was cold and devoid of any warmth. “She is a staff member of the company, so naturally, she stays here.”

Listening to him, Yuchi Jin felt like Ye Moxuan had stepped on his tail, so he raised his voice. “Do you know what you’re doing? Did you forget what I’ve told you? You need to fire her immediately.”

Hearing both grandfather and grandson starting to argue because of her, Han Muzi became worried because Yuchi Jin’s emotions seemed to be out of control ever since Ye Moxuan showed up. After all, he was still Ye Moxuan’s grandfather, and he saved him at that time, so her respect and gratitude for the old man still remained in her heart. Instinctively, she pulled Ye Moxuan’s sleeve, and his eyes were startled before he looked toward Yuchi Jin.

“Grandfather, she is the company’s staff member, so I’ll decide whether to fire her. If you feel that my decision is a problem to the company, you can always take back my position from me.” His words completely blocked Yuchi Jin from speaking out.

“W-What did you just say?”

Then, Ye Moxuan grabbed hold of Han Muzi’s fine wrist. “Grandfather, since you don’t like seeing her, I’ll take her away with me.”

After that, he pulled Han Muzi out of the secretary room with him right away.

“Stop!” Yuchi Jin shouted, but Ye Moxuan was fast. Soon after, he was gone.

Yu Bo had a look at his direction before turning his head and said awkwardly, “Seeing the direction they’re heading, I guess Young Master must be bringing the girl to his office.”

Yuchi Jin’s face darkened as he heard that. “Wanton!”

“Old Master, since you are unwilling to see her, Young Master could only bring her away.”

“Yu Bo, what do you think is wrong with this kid? Am I not doing this for his own good? How can he not know better and drag her away right in front of me? And did you listen to what he said just now? Was that a threat? Did he really think that I can’t find any other successor except for him?”

Yu Bo nodded in honesty. “But that is true.”

Yuchi Jin remained silent.

“Except for Young Master, you don’t actually have another successor in line.”

Wasn’t that why he worked so hard to keep him by his side? Before Ye Moxuan showed up, he had always run Yuchi Group all by himself because he didn’t trust anyone, not even his own relatives.

All of a sudden, Yuchi Jin was speechless.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 844

Yu Bo’s idea of the situation was much simpler, so he explained to him with an innocent face, “It looks like Young Master’s temperament is no weaker than Miss Xin’s back then. If you keep on forcing him like this, I’m afraid…” He didn’t continue his words as everyone knew clearly that nobody could predict the future before it even happened.

“Hmph, he really thinks he can scare me by threatening me? Without him, I can still find another successor!” Yuchi Jin scoffed while he became even more furious. Eventually, he gave the table a good slap.

With a thump, everyone in the room was taken aback. Yu Bo didn’t dare to say anything, so he stepped aside.

Yuchi Jin was so angry that the color on his face kept on changing. He sighed again and again, as though he was thinking about the perfect way to deal with this situation.

Just when his mind was turning, he suddenly saw the cup of tea beside his hand, dispersing its fragrance.

When he smelled the thick fragrance of the tea, he unconsciously pressed his lips before reaching out to the cup.

The housekeeper, who was standing aside, saw his movement. He twitched his lips as if he wanted to say something, but after giving it a thought, he closed his mouth again.

Yuchi Jin gave the cup of tea a smell. Hmm, it does smell quite nice. Does the young woman actually know how to make tea? He took a sip of it to have a test. It actually tastes… not bad.

Therefore, he took another sip. After multiple testing of the tea, Yuchi Jin noticed that something was odd. When he finally realized what was odd, he lifted his head to find that everyone in the room was watching him.

What just happened in the room was perfectly obvious to everyone. Yet, not only did Yuchi Jin actually drink the tea made by that young woman, he seemed to relish it…

That was why everyone was looking at him oddly.

Yuchi Jin went quiet for two seconds before placing the cup back on the table with a thud. “What kind of tea is this? Why is it so horrible?” he scolded.

Yu Bo was rendered speechless as he resigned to look at him. Who was the one drinking the tea so enthusiastically just now?

Yuchi Jin felt embarrassed, so he simply stood up. “Time to go!”

The group of men followed him out of the secretary room in force, and they so happened to meet Miss Lin, who came for work. She was surprised to see his old employer again.

“Old Master, why are you in the company today?”

Yuchi Jin was still furious, and he looked like he was in a bad mood, so he only nodded to her without making a sound.

Yu Bo smiled. “We came to deal with a few matters.”

“What is it?” Miss Lin asked instinctively. “Do you need my help?”

“It’s all fine now. We’ll leave now.”

“Alright.”

Miss Lin could only watch as they left the place. Then, she scratched her head. This is odd. Ever since Yuchi Shen took over as president, Old Master had never come to the company because he didn’t doubt his grandson’s abilities at all. Why would he come to the company today? And… why did he come to the secretary room?

As she thought about it, she instantly remembered that Duanmu Xue came by yesterday.

At this point, Yuchi Jin suddenly stopped his steps and told Miss Lin, “I need you to arrange a position in the company for Xue. She wants to gain some experience in the company.”

Xue? Quickly, Miss Lin reacted. I assume that ‘Xue’ is probably the Young Lady of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Xue, who came by yesterday.

“Old Master, there aren’t any positions left in the company now. If you arrange a position for her, the President will—”

“Hmph, although I’ve got one foot in the coffin, as long as I still have my breath, this company will not be completely managed by him. I still have my say!”

Miss Lin was left silent.

“Simply arrange a position for her so that she can get closer to Yuchi Shen.”

Miss Lin wanted to tell him that the President had ordered her not to simply send any riff-raffs into his office. Now, the Old Master was actually asking her to arrange a position in the company for one of the ‘riff-raffs’ mentioned by the President so that she could get close to him. Isn’t he just giving me a headache for being the person stuck in the middle?

“What? Is there a problem?” Yuchi Jin asked while raising his eyebrows.

When Miss Lin came back around, she smiled at him awkwardly. “No problem. I will arrange it.”

After that, Yuchi Jin left satisfyingly.

As soon as he was gone, Miss Lin entered the secretary room, speechless. Did Old Master come here today just because of that Duanmu Xue? He is really overdoing the spectacle.

At this moment, Ye Moxuan had brought Han Muzi back to his office. After he closed the door, he pressed her against the firm door plank.

Han Muzi remained silent as she looked at him alarmingly with her hands in front of her chest. “What are you trying to do?”

His grandfather was still in the secretary room next door when he dragged her over here and trapped her in a kabedon. Is he trying to kiss me at this time? Han Muzi was sure that if he kissed her right at this moment, she would punch him sober without hesitation.

As she thought about it, Ye Moxuan actually leaned his body forward.

Quickly, Han Muzi widened her eyes and gave him a hard push. “You still have that thought at a time like this?”

Ye Moxuan was startled as he stopped his movements. Then he squinted his eyes slightly. “I still have that thought? What thought?”

Han Muzi was confused. Is he playing a fool? She then bit on her lips and growled, “Stop quibbling. Would you dare to say that you were not thinking of…” She was too embarrassed to say it out directly.

Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan was still guessing what she meant, but after seeing the red tints on her fair face, he immediately understood her.

He let out a smile and reached out to pinch her fine chin. “Who says I was thinking of that just now?” His voice became deeper.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. “Then why did you come close to me?”

As she was speaking, Ye Moxuan went closer to her without warning. Both of their eyes and noses were in touching distance while their breaths tangled together. She stopped her breathing as she didn’t dare to gasp. “W-What are you doing?” Her voice was as weak as a mosquito.

Ye Moxuan remained silent. He only stared at her eyes carefully, and his serious expression made Han Muzi feel a bit awkward. She could only move slightly to take a few steps back, but behind her was a door plank, so she had nowhere to go.

Just when she was about to ask him, Ye Moxuan opened his mouth. “I’m sorry for letting you feel wronged.”

Han Muzi was dumbfounded as she looked blankly at the serious Ye Moxuan in front of her. Is he actually… apologizing to me?

Ye Moxuan gently caressed her head. “I was just trying to see if you cried… I’m glad you didn’t.”

Listening to him, Han Muzi finally understood why he came close to stare at her eyes. He actually thought that I cried because I felt wronged?

Initially, she didn’t feel anything; after all, she was messing with his grandfather, so she didn’t feel wronged. Yet Han Muzi was deeply touched when hearing his words.

Ye Moxuan locked one of his hands on the back of her head and dragged her into his arms. “I was afraid that I was too late,” he spoke with a sigh.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 845

One would always act particularly dramatic when being cared for.

A person who easily cried didn’t necessarily mean she had teary eyes; instead, it could mean that she had someone who loved and cared for her. Compared to those who wouldn’t shed a single tear even if the sky fell down, it seemed as though they always carried the load all by themselves without anyone else to care for them, so they needed to be strong.

If Ye Moxuan hadn’t come, she would have still been able to deal with Old Master Yuchi’s words alone. Although he made it clear to her at the end, she still had a way to handle the situation.

Yet Ye Moxuan came.

To protect her, he guarded in front of her and conflicted with his own grandfather without hesitation. The feeling of protection as well as the hug he was giving to her now made her nose twinge slightly. Her eyes also started to heat up, as though something was about to burst out of it.

Han Muzi did all she could to suppress these feelings as she smiled. “You’re thinking too much. Why would I cry?”

That said, her eyes were still wet. Luckily, her head was buried inside Ye Moxuan’s arms, so he didn’t notice her wet eyes. However, she didn’t know whether it was because of her stuffy voice, but Ye Moxuan suddenly moved and tried to pull her away.

Han Muzi was afraid that he would see her wet eyes, so when he tried to pull her away, she could only hug his skinny waist tight while holding firm onto his jacket.

A while after the hustle, he hugged her again.

Ye Moxuan seemed to understand her very well because the both of them just hugged like this quietly without speaking a word.

The time passed by minute by minute until she didn’t know how long the hug lasted. Han Muzi finally regained her normal state, so she left Ye Moxuan’s arms.

“Umm… about your grandfather just now—”

Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Ye Moxuan answered, “Yeah. I’ll take care of this. You just need to wait soundly.”

“Then how do you plan to take care of it?” Han Muzi was really worried after listening to the conversation between him and Yuchi Jin in the secretary room just now.

A few days after she confirmed her relationship with Ye Moxuan, something like this happened. Now that he had lost his memory, Han Muzi did wonder what he would choose if she ever came into conflict with his grandfather, who would implore him to give her up. However, after what happened today, Han Muzi felt… there was a possibility that Ye Moxuan might turn against his grandfather for her. Although she was deeply touched by his actions, turning him against his family was never her first intention.

As she gave it a thought, Han Muzi uttered, “You need to stay calm and don’t clash with your grandfather.”

Listening to her, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “What is it? You’re scared that I’ll lose to him in a fight?”

Han Muzi bit her lower lip as she pondered. “I don’t want you to fight with your family. Maybe… I can try to make him accept me.”

From what she had seen today, even though Ye Moxuan’s grandfather was a stubborn man, he wasn’t a bad person. However, if she wanted him to accept her relationship with Ye Moxuan, then she must find the root of the cause. I need to find the reason he refuses to let me be with Moxuan. Usually, people of his age are reasonable. So what made him prevent us from getting together?

“Yes. Let’s agree to this. I can try to persuade your grandfather and see if he accepts me. If it doesn’t work…” She dragged on her voice, but she didn’t continue her sentence.

Ye Moxuan frowned as he locked his hand onto her wrist. “What happens if it doesn’t work? Are you going to leave me?”

He exerted more force on her wrist as he frowned his thick eyebrows even more. His eyes were still locked firm onto her.

Seeing him this way, Han Muzi couldn’t help but try to mess with his mind.

“If… there is no other way for your grandfather to accept me, then… I could only leave,” she stated tentatively to tease him.

Right after that, the force exerted on her wrist increased as Ye Moxuan leaned over and choked her white neck with his other hand while his breathing accelerated.

“You’re not allowed to!”

Han Muzi was shocked.

Ye Moxuan’s eyes were much darker than before, like the darkness before a storm. Even though they looked calm, there was an unstoppable force behind it waiting to burst. Is he… being serious? Han Muzi never knew that he cared so much for her and was so easily provoked.

She couldn’t help but giggle. “What’s wrong? I was just joking with you.”

Listening to her, Ye Moxuan frowned. “You were joking?”

She nodded. “Yes. Of course I was joking.”

After she explained, Ye Moxuan’s face didn’t calm down; instead, it became even more imposing as his black eyes stared right at her. The coldness of his eyes sent a shiver all over Han Muzi’s body.

“W-What is it?” she stuttered.

Did I just say something wrong? Didn’t I just explain to him that it was a joke? Yet his expression didn’t get any better.

Ye Moxuan stared at her silently before asking, “Is it because of the short time?”

“What?” Han Muzi was confused.

“You don’t have deep feelings for me because we’ve known each other for a short time, so you simply joked about that.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. She realized that he really treated her simple joke seriously. This was how misunderstandings were created because mindless words could cause offense. She never expected Ye Moxuan to take her words seriously, but seeing his earnest face, she realized that if she didn’t change her attitude now, he might get angry.

Han Muzi quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I didn’t use our relationship as a joke. I just simply said it; I don’t actually think of it that way.”

After a few words, Ye Moxuan’s expression was still grim, as if it was covered with dark clouds; it wasn’t getting better.

Han Muzi got worried and grabbed on to his hands. “Are you angry? Then I’ll apologize to you. It was my mistake to have said that. I won’t joke about it anymore, alright?”

Hearing her apology, the darkness in his expression faded a bit as he pursed his lips with displeasure. “You provoked me, so you need to take the responsibility forever. You cannot abandon your responsibility.”

His previous looks really scared Han Muzi, so no matter what he said, Han Muzi could only nod. She even raised her hand and swore, “I promise that I’ll take full responsibility. I will never abandon my responsibility.”

After saying it, she came back to her senses. Shouldn’t the words ‘never abandon my responsibility’ be said by the man? Why did I have to say it all of a sudden?

However, at this point, she didn’t have the time to think about it because she was still worried that Ye Moxuan took it to heart, so to assure him, she uttered, “Look. I didn’t accept the money your grandfather gave me. From this, you can see my love for you. I definitely won’t leave you.”

Ye Moxuan thought about it and spoke in a deep voice, “The next time my grandfather offers you money, just take it.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 846

“Huh?” Han Muzi thought she had heard wrongly. Did Ye Moxuan ask me to accept Yuchi Jin’s money?

“He is giving it to his granddaughter-in-law,” Ye Moxuan stated casually. “The next time he gives it to you, you just take it.”

Han Muzi remained quiet. Why do I suddenly feel that the grandson saved by Yuchi Jin is here to bring troubles to him? Just as the two of them were talking, Han Muzi suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from her back. She was so shocked that she reflexively hid behind Ye Moxuan.

When she hid behind him, her hands accidentally crumpled his suit. As someone who had mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder like him, Ye Moxuan would have definitely been enraged by her back then. However, the one crumpling his suit right now was Han Muzi, so the situation was completely different. Not only did he not get angry, he actually felt a sense of satisfaction inside him.

The person outside the door didn’t hear a reply, so she knocked again. Afterward, her voice was heard as she called out, “President?”

“It’s Miss Lin!” Han Muzi whispered to him. Then, she scanned the surroundings and saw the office desk, and then she dashed over and squirmed under it.

Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless as he rubbed his forehead to ease the headache. Is this girl addicted to squirming under things?

“Come in.” When the cold voice of the man was heard, the office door opened. Miss Lin came in with an envelope and looked strangely at Ye Moxuan, who was standing by the door. “President, are you going out?” As she finished, Miss Lin seemed to notice something when her eyes fell on his suit.

Usually, his suit was always neat and clean without any traces of wrinkles, but today, there were lots of wrinkles on his sleeves and waist. Other than that, she also realized that he took a long time to answer the door. Nonetheless, she shouldn’t ask him such questions, so she could only hand over the item in her hand. “President, Old Master came by just now.”

Ye Moxuan’s expression was calm, as if he wasn’t shocked by her words at all. Looks like he met with Old Master Yuchi earlier. Thinking about it, Miss Lin became more direct with her words. “This envelope was left by Old Master when he left. I don’t know what is inside it, so I brought it over for you, President.”

An envelope? Ye Moxuan remembered what Han Muzi just told him. Then, he glanced at the envelope before taking it and opened it. Sure enough, there was a check inside. “I understand. Is there anything else?”

Miss Lin stood still as she hesitated. Finally, she felt that it was better to tell him. “Old Master… instructed me to simply arrange a position in the company for the Young Lady of the Duanmu family.”

Listening to her, Ye Moxuan instantly frowned his eyebrows as the aura around him turned gloomy. Hasn’t that woman given up yet? I have already told her so clearly.

Seeing him frowning, Miss Lin realized that her guess was correct. The President still shuns away from women, but this Duanmu Xue is no ordinary woman. It’ll be hard to deal with this. She thought for a while and spoke to him, “By the looks of Old Master, he really values Miss Duanmu highly. If we don’t give her a position, I’m afraid that Old Master will be furious. But if we give it to her…” Then in the future, the President wouldn’t have any peaceful days.

Even though Old Master’s attitude was tough, the situation still had something to do with Ye Moxuan after all, so Miss Lin decided to discuss it with him. I’ll just let both of them figure it out themselves at home.

Miss Lin noticed that the corner of Ye Moxuan’s eyes were glancing at the direction under the table, but she didn’t know why. Then, he asked her coldly, “Miss Lin, how is the situation with the Duanmu family’s company?”

This sudden question… Miss Lin was dumbfounded for a while before replying, “The Duanmu Group is very powerful too. After all, they are one of the top companies.”

Hearing her words, Ye Moxuan sneered, “Then why all the fuss to get into my company?”

At this point, Miss Lin finally understood Ye Moxuan’s intentions. She then nodded immediately. “I know what to do. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll leave now.”

“Alright.”

After Miss Lin was gone, Han Muzi was still hiding under the table, thinking about the situation. Is Duanmu Xue trying to get in the company? And she has the backing of Yuchi Jin? This is bad. If Yuchi Jin doesn’t accept me, then what’s the point going through all these? Sigh.

“She is gone now. You can come out. Or… are you planning to stay there?” As she was thinking, Ye Moxuan’s voice came from above.

Han Muzi lifted her head, and she happened to meet his eyes. Nevertheless, she didn’t stand up right away, and she asked him instead, “If you don’t give her a position, your grandfather will feel offended, right?”

Ye Moxuan waited for a few seconds, but she was still squatting there, so he simply crouched down in front of her and spoke in a low voice, “Don’t tell me you hope that I arrange a position for her.”

Han Muzi shook her head. She didn’t want to see that annoying face everyday when she went to work. Also, with Duanmu Xue’s character, she would definitely trouble her everyday.

“Get up first.” Ye Moxuan grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her into his arms, and then he got up with her. After she got up, she wanted to back away, but she then realized that the hand holding her waist wouldn’t budge. “I’ll handle the situation myself, and you just need to go on with your normal life. But… you can’t live there anymore.”

“What? Then where should I live?” Han Muzi twitched her lips. She just rented the house not long ago, and she had already paid the rental fee and deposit.

After remembering Duanmu Xue’s abnormal expression and seeing Han Muzi’s clean, pure eyes, Ye Moxuan decided not to tell her about it to prevent frightening her. However, he still needed an excuse to ask her to move. “I’m worried that my grandfather may trouble you privately. That is why I’ll find a new place for you to stay.”

Han Muzi blinked and gazed at Ye Moxuan, who was inches away from her. “Are you… trying to get me to move in with you?”

At first, Ye Moxuan was worried about her, but he couldn’t tell her the reason. Now, after what she said, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at her scorchingly. “Did I say that I wanted you to move in with me?”

Han Muzi remained silent.

“Or are you saying that you want to move in with me?”

“I…” Han Muzi’s face was blushing as she tried to defend herself. “I didn’t think of that. You were the one who said that you wanted to find a new place for me to stay.”

“Yes, I did say that. But did I say that I wanted to live with you?” He lowered his body while his warm breath came closer to her. “Looks like that is what you’re thinking.”

“I’m not thinking that!” Han Muzi frustratingly pushed him away. How could I fall into his trap like that?

“Last time, who was the one… who hung her undergarment on my suit? And you dare to say that you weren’t implying something to me?” When he said those words, he moved his lips closer to her and gently brushed her ear.

Even though they had kissed since establishing their relationship, their bodies never had the urge to do something. Even if they did, it was suppressed due to their current relationship. However, the topic was actually brought up right now…

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 847

What happened last time was really an accident. However, she couldn’t shake it off. I guess this is what they meant by a moment’s error can bring a lifelong regret.

Since it was just an accident, she definitely didn’t imply anything to him. And also, the two of them had no relations with each other at that time, so why would she imply something like that to him?

Yet, it was obvious that Ye Moxuan didn’t think of it that way. He leaned on her neck, and his lips seemed to intentionally brush through her white delicate neck. His warm breath scratched her like catkins.

Suddenly, the hands on her waist moved up a few inches, and Han Muzi could feel that his breathing was accelerating.

She blinked nervously while her lips opened unconsciously. “No. We can’t—”

However, what answered her was Ye Moxuan’s thin lips.

Bang!

“President, I forgot to tell you just now about—”

Just when Han Muzi’s legs were melting away, the office door was suddenly opened, and Miss Lin came in while mumbling, only to see this shocking scene.

Miss Lin widened her eyes in disbelief. What did I just see? The President, who saw women as pests, is actually… hugging and kissing a woman?

As soon as she heard Miss Lin’s voice, Han Muzi’s face changed drastically while her hands reflexively gave Ye Moxuan a hard push. Then, she staggered a few steps back before standing firm.

After being pushed, a sense of dissatisfaction filled Ye Moxuan’s dark eyes. He then frowned his eyebrows at the person who came in without knocking. On his face, there wasn’t any awkwardness of being exposed; instead, it was cold when he questioned her, “Why didn’t you knock?”

Miss Lin went silent as she was dumbfounded for a few seconds. After that, she said a few words of apology before leaving.

Han Muzi, who was standing aside, felt extremely embarrassed. Initially, she didn’t dare to let anyone know about them, but she never expected Miss Lin to witness this scene. Actually, it was normal for couples to kiss, but if it was seen by someone close to them, it would be very embarrassing.

She bit on her lower lips with her hands crossed in front of her. How am I going to face Miss Lin later?

Just when she was at loss, Ye Moxuan ordered, “Come here.”

Han Muzi was confused by him.

His face remained the same. “Let’s continue.”

She quickly replied to him without a second thought, “We’ve just been caught by Miss Lin. How do you still have the mood for this?”

Seeing her standing still, Ye Moxuan simply pressed his thin lips over while pinching her lower jaw, then he leaned over to kiss her. All of a sudden, Han Muzi was engulfed by his warm breath.

She blinked her eyes nervously as she looked at Ye Moxuan, who was so close that she could even see the pores on his face clearly. However, after exposing herself all of a sudden, she really didn’t have the mood to continue.

That was why when Ye Moxuan was about to pry open her teeth, she pushed him away. “It’s working hours now.”

After being pushed away, Ye Moxuan gazed at her blankly.

She took two steps back before saying to him, “I’ve told you before that I won’t seduce you during working hours. Then… you should do the same too. I’ll go out now!”

As she finished, she quickly dashed out of the office without waiting for Ye Moxuan’s reaction.

When she got out of the office, she felt a breeze blowing against her face, and then she hurried into the washroom next to her.

Sure enough, when she got in the washroom, she could see that her whole face was red through the mirror. Most importantly… there was an obvious red mark on her neck.

Han Muzi reached out to rub it, but the mark didn’t fade away. I’m going crazy. He knew that I’m not wearing a stand-up collar today, and he still left a mark on my neck.

She didn’t have any cream or concealer to cover it, so she could only loosen her hair on her shoulder to cover the red mark.

As soon as she was done tidying herself up, she walked toward the secretary room with a guilty conscience.

In the secretary room, Miss Lin was on the phone, and she didn’t bat an eye on Han Muzi when she came in. Han Muzi secretly rejoiced before rushing back to her place in a flash, then she opened her bag to find something to conceal it.

Just when she took out a concealer, Miss Lin had ended her call and walked over with a document in her hand.

Han Muzi reacted to it quickly by placing the concealer back onto her bag. After that, she straightened her back, like a student meeting a teacher, before sitting there quietly while looking at Miss Lin obediently.

“Muzi,” Miss Lin called out. Han Muzi didn’t know whether it was an illusion, but she felt that there was a profound meaning in her voice, as if she had emphasized her tone.

Hence, she straightened her back even more and gave Miss Lin a rigid smile while her ears flushed. “Miss Lin, what are your orders?”

Miss Lin placed a document in front of her with a smile. “Later, I want you to send this document downstairs and tell them that I want it by this evening, so ask them to speed up the progress. If they can’t keep up, there won’t be any bonuses this month.”

Han Muzi nodded like a chicken pecking rice. “I understand.”

Miss Lin smiled slightly as she put the document down before turning away to leave. Soon after, Han Muzi let out a sigh of relief. Looks like Miss Lin isn’t that kind of a gossip person, so I don’t have to bother explaining…

However, before she could really feel relief, Miss Lin suddenly turned around and stared at her. “Muzi, you and the President…”

Han Muzi straightened her back again as she looked at Miss Lin nervously.

Seeing her this way, Miss Lin couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t be so nervous. You are both young people. I can understand it.” Han Muzi twitched her lips, but she didn’t know how to follow up. “Actually, I didn’t expect you to be this quick.” As Miss Lin was speaking, she simply sat down next to her and smiled. “Can I gossip for a while? Before you came, the President was never fond of women. So how did you manage to seize his heart this fast after just coming in? And…”

Just now in the office, even though it was accidental for her to see them, she could still tell that the one taking initiative was obviously Ye Moxuan. This was what Miss Lin found strange, because the President was so assertive that it was almost scary to her. Other than that, he seemed to be not afraid of getting caught. Han Muzi, on the other hand, was panicking, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone.

Miss Lin’s mind moved quickly, and she suddenly remembered that the Old Master came to the company today. Then, she widened her eyes and realized. “Could it be that the Old Master came to the company today because…”

Since she was already exposed, Han Muzi couldn’t deny it anymore, so she nodded. “Yes. His grandfather came because of this. Miss Lin, I don’t want anyone in the company to know about this. Can you promise me?”

Listening to her, Miss Lin couldn’t help but reach out and flick her forehead. “Do you think that I’m a blabbermouth? Although I want to gossip about it, I don’t have a big mouth. I’m just curious on how you managed to seize the President because the progress is so quick.”

Han Muzi smiled, but she didn’t say anything. I already knew Ye Moxuan before, and it was fate that brought us together this time, so what can I tell her?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 848

Seeing that she wasn’t willing to talk much about it, Miss Lin gave up asking her. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, then I won’t ask you anymore. But do you remember the things I told you before?”

Han Muzi nodded. “I do.”

“Do you know the Yuchi family well? Do you know what kind of a family they are? To be honest with you, Old Master Yuchi has instructed me to simply arrange a position in the company for the Young Lady of the Duanmu family. It doesn’t matter what position it is, as long as it gives her the right to stay in the company, and it needs to be close with the President’s position.” After that, Miss Lin stopped for a moment. “I assume that you’re in the office when I was talking with the President, so it’s okay that I’m telling you this now. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Without waiting for her reply, Miss Lin explained again, “Old Master Yuchi really likes Duanmu Xue, and he intends to pair her with his grandson, so you…” At this point, she frowned her eyebrows and let out a sigh. “Love that is not blessed by the elders may not last long.”

Han Muzi knew that Miss Lin was saying to her this for her own good. Therefore, she held on to her hand and murmured, “Thank you, Miss Lin. Thank you for telling me this much, but don’t worry. I’ve thought about this long ago. I know which path I need to take, and this will be the only path that I’ll take. Even though I joined the company late and developed a relationship with him this quickly, you don’t see me as those riff-raffs; instead, you trust me. For that, I’m really grateful.”

After all, most people would definitely assume that she joined the company just to climb the social ladder because not long after she came in, she got together with Ye Moxuan. However, Miss Lin didn’t see her that way but was concerned for her instead.

“It’s good that you have thought about it thoroughly. As for the kind of person you actually are, I still have an eye for people after reaching this age.”

Miss Lin could see that she came in the company just for their President because she didn’t look like someone who wanted to climb the social ladder. Instead, she looked more like a person who felt aggrieved. Sometimes, Miss Lin would wonder if she was thinking too much about it, but of all people, only Han Muzi gave her this kind of a feeling, especially through her gaze when she looked at Yuchi Shen.

“Alright. Since you’ve already made up your mind, then I have nothing else to say. Besides… I can’t tell the two of you what to do.” When Miss Lin got up, she suddenly thought of something, so she poked Han Muzi’s fair face with a smile. “If the two of you can be together at the end, you must remember to invite me to your wedding, and I want a big red packet in return. After all, I was the one who recommended you into the company.”

With that, the atmosphere between the two of them relaxed as Han Muzi couldn’t help but smile. “Alright. With your blessings, I will definitely invite you to my wedding by that time.”

After the both of them came into an agreement, they went on with their own work.

Later in the day, Duanmu Xue came to the company because she had received a call from Yuchi Jin saying that he had sorted everything out for her. He told her to come to the company to find Yuchi Shen’s secretary directly, and that she would arrange a job for her.

Therefore, she came to Yuchi Group joyfully, and before that, she even dressed herself up meticulously. She wore her favourite lipstick and eyeshadow.

Girls always hoped to present their best selves for the people they liked; Duanmu Xue was no different.

When the receptionist saw her entering the company, she didn’t stop her from going up because she didn’t receive such orders.

However, after seeing Duanmu Xue entering the elevator, she couldn’t help but sigh with the girl beside her, who was also a receptionist. “We are all human, but why do some people just get a better life? Not only does she have a great background, she is also pretty and is about to be together with an outstanding person.”

Hearing her complaints, the other girl glanced at her strangely and said, “Outstanding people naturally get together with other outstanding people; what’s strange about that? It would be weird for an outstanding person to get together with someone who is worthless and knows nothing.”

The receptionist felt a twinge in her heart when listening to her, but she must admit that she was right. Outstanding people naturally get together with other outstanding people.

“If you feel unsatisfied about it, then you should work hard. You need to cut your leisure and do more meaningful stuff to enrich yourself. When you make yourself excellent, your friends around you will be gradually replaced by other outstanding people. By then, won’t it be easy for you to be together with someone excellent?” the girl stated again, and the receptionist nodded with agreement. However, she soon realized something wasn’t right, so she squinted at the person beside her. “How do you know so much?”

The girl smiled as she stuffed a candy into her mouth. “I read about it on Facebook.”

The receptionist was rendered speechless. Pfft, I’ll just pretend I’d never asked. Sure enough, I really can’t expect too much. We are both receptionists, and both of us will find any kind of leisure everytime we get off work. During Saturdays, we don’t do anything productive except for eating and sleeping. Most of all, we can’t even manage our time properly! So what can I expect from her?

When Duanmu Xue got upstairs, she went to the secretary room to find Miss Lin.

Unfortunately, when she got there, Miss Lin had already left. In the secretary room, there was only Han Muzi, who was arranging the documents quietly.

Duanmu Xue stood by the door and stared at her, who was head down while working hard.

Han Muzi was wearing a simple blue chiffon shirt, and at the bottom, she paired it with a pair of casual blue jeans. Meanwhile, her long hair wasn’t tidied up neatly as it was casually tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.

No matter how I look at her, she is just an ordinary woman. But why is a woman like her able to suck away the soul of Shen? What magic does she have on her? I, on the other hand, always use the best stuff on me. As for beauty, I’m definitely not worse than Han Muzi, so why won’t Shen look at me? As she thought about, she became even angrier while she tightened the fists beside her.

Coincidentally, Han Muzi lifted her head and glanced at her direction unconsciously, and then she lowered her head back. But soon after, she realized there was someone, so she lifted her head back up. Both of their eyes met in the air.

Duanmu Xue? Seeing Duanmu Xue appearing in front of her, Han Muzi was shocked at first, but she quickly reacted as she remembered what Miss Lin told her before.

However, she didn’t expect her to come so soon, and by the looks of her, she came well-dressed.

Just like this, the two of them looked at each other for a while. Suddenly, Duanmu Xue quirked up the corners of her lips and walked toward her. “Looks like I’ve underestimated you before. I didn’t expect you to find your way into here, and you even infiltrated the company quietly so that you can lurk beside him as his secretarial assistant. He doesn’t remember you anymore, but you’re still here shamelessly. You really have a thick skin.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 849

Han Muzi was extremely uncomfortable upon hearing that, so there was more hatred in the way she looked at Duanmu Xue. However, she quickly kept those emotions away. While she lowered her head to sort out the documents, she said casually, “In terms of the degree of being thick-skinned, I am certainly not as good as you.”

Duanmu Xue’s expression changed slightly as she gritted her teeth. “What did you say?”

Han Muzi raised her head and looked at Duanmu Xue with a faint smile. “He doesn’t remember me, and neither does he remember you. You just approached him through your identity as the Young Lady of the Duanmu Family, but he still doesn’t want to talk to you. Aren’t you think-skinned? Aren’t you angry about that?”

All of Han Muzi’s words had hit on Duanmu Xue’s weak points, making her furious.

Duanmu Xue guessed that she might have known what had happened in the office yesterday, and she was really annoyed. She didn’t know how long Han Muzi had been in the company and how far the relationship had developed between Ye Moxuan and her.

Shen probably doesn’t remember her, right? Otherwise, she wouldn’t be sitting here.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Xue replied angrily, “So what? You said that I approached him through my identity as the Young Lady of the Duanmu family. But you joined the company and approached him through the identity of a company employee. How could you have the audacity to comment on me?”

Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I rely on my own capabilities. I joined the company through numerous interview rounds and finally became a permanent employee in this company. What about you? ”

Duanmu Xue was silent upon hearing that.

“No matter the tactics you use, you joined the company anyway with the same purpose as mine.”

After hearing that, Han Muzi couldn’t help laughing as she shook her head. “You are wrong; my purpose is different from yours.” With that, she raised her head, and her gaze fell on Duanmu Xue’s face. Then, Han Muzi corrected her, “I am here to recover his memory, but you are trying to take him away from others.” She paused for a moment before adding, “Immorally.”

“You!”

Duanmu Xue was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. She lifted her skirt and walked into the room as she wanted to quarrel with Han Muzi, who was calm and had a slight smile on her face. On the contrary, Duanmu Xue looked livid and anxious.

The juxtaposition was quite glaring. Duanmu Xue tried to calm herself down and growled coldly, “What do you mean by ‘immoral’? I’ve told you long ago that the wedding between you and him was not completed. In that case, you are not husband and wife. It’s a fair competition between both of us.”

Upon hearing this, Han Muzi already knew that the two of them were not going to have a good time talking to each other.

Duanmu Xue’s worldview was too different from hers. In Duanmu Xue’s opinion, as long as Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan were not married, she could come over to take him away, and it was still a fair competition.

“Since you think so, there is nothing left to say between us. You’re looking for Miss Lin, right? She is not in the office now. Please leave first and come back later. ”

Han Muzi did not hesitate to ask her to leave.

Duanmu Xue was silent upon hearing that.

She looked around before answering coldly, “Since she is not here, I will wait for her until she comes back.”

With that, Duanmu Xue sat down directly on the sofa and looked like she was the host here. Suddenly, she ordered, “Pour me a cup of tea.”

Han Muzi was silent upon hearing that.

Is she asking me to pour her a cup of tea?

Han Muzi didn’t move and continued to sort out her documents.

Duanmu Xue waited for a long time, but no one gave her any tea, so she stood up. “What’s this attitude of yours? I asked you to pour me a cup of tea—didn’t you hear me?”

Han Muzi raised her eyes and sneered. “Why should I pour you a cup of tea? Are you a guest of our company? Do you have an appointment? If there is no appointment, it is not within my job scope.”

“You!”

After hearing this, Duanmu Xue stood up and looked at her angrily. After a while, she couldn’t help laughing and said, “You really have a sharp tongue. I’d really underestimated you.”

Upon hearing this, Han Muzi replied, “I’d also underestimated your shamelessness.”

Duanmu Xue was speechless upon hearing that.

If they continued their conversation, she would really be pissed off by Han Muzi. She had only talked to her once; why didn’t she find out that Han Muzi was so good at retaliating at that time?

Now, she was so shocked that she didn’t have the strength to refute her. In fact, she desperately wanted to rip Han Muzi’s face apart.

When Duanmu Xue was thinking about this, Miss Lin had already returned. When she entered the office, she was a little surprised to see Duanmu Xue, but she then reacted quickly to her.

“Miss Xue? Is that you?”

When Duanmu Xue saw Miss Lin, she immediately stood up and went to her. Since Grandfather Yuchi said that he would find this person to arrange a position for me, this shows that her power in this company is still quite powerful. She is also Shen’s secretary, so I have to please her. Then, Duanmu Xue smiled at her. “Hello, Miss Lin. You can call me Xue from now onward.”

Miss Lin was silent upon hearing that.

Her attitude changed too fast indeed. Miss Lin thought that there was a possibility that after she told Duanmu Xue the truth, she would also change her attitude as quickly.

Looking at Han Muzi, who was beside them, Miss Lin smiled slightly. “Hello, Miss Xue. I’ve heard the Old Master mention about your matter. Shall we talk about it in another place? ” Just in case she changes into a completely different person later.

However, Duanmu Xue blinked and answered with a smile, “No, I think it’s fine to just talk here.”

Han Muzi thinks that she has a chance to get closer to Ye Moxuan after she enters the company? I, Duanmu Xue, also want to let her see that I can also enter the company using such methods, and I can stay beside Shen anytime and anywhere.

Let’s see who will be the winner in the end.

Anyway, she was right. Since Ye Moxuan didn’t recognize anyone now, she had a chance. On top of that, Grandfather Yuchi had approved of her. Hence, her chances were even greater now.

Miss Lin didn’t expect that Duanmu Xue didn’t want to talk about it in another place. Feeling helpless, she couldn’t do anything else but to agree with her, so she nodded.

“Well, since you don’t want to change to another venue, Miss Xue, I’ll go straight to the point.”

Duanmu Xue stepped forward and wanted to hold Miss Lin’s hand intimately. “So, Miss Secretary, what position is arranged for me?”

Miss Lin took a step back quite subtly to avoid her touch with a stern expression on her face. “Miss Xue, I believe you also know that Old Master Yuchi has retired now. Although his words are also very important, the President is the main person who is in charge. So, naturally, I will have to need to report these things to him.”

Duanmu Xue was stunned at that moment. Looking at her expression, she felt that something was wrong.

“S-So?”

“There is no vacancy in our company right now. If I may give you a suggestion, your company is good enough for you to learn. Why do you want to come over to our company?”

Duanmu Xue’s expression darkened immediately.

“What do you mean?”

Miss Lin spoke directly, “Miss Xue, you can go back to your own company to work. Forget working as a secretary; even if it is a senior management position, you have the choice to do whatever you want there, haven’t you? There is really no need to come to Yuchi Group to lower your position. Our company is also worried about making you suffer.”

After hearing these words, Duanmu Xue’s expression completely changed.

“After all that bullsh*t, you’re telling me that I don’t have a place here?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 850

Even though the implicit meaning was like that, Miss Lin wasn’t rude with her statement.

She merely gave a slight smile. “We just don’t want you to face any troubles, Miss Xue. We’re not forbidding you to enter the company.”

Duanmu Xue shook her hand, and all her gentle and obsequious expression from earlier disappeared without a trace. “I’m not afraid of any troubles! Why don’t you just simply give me a post? Didn’t Grandfather Yuchi already tell you what to do? Why are you still acting this way? Is it so difficult to give me a position here?”

Her words weren’t very favorable to the ears. Miss Lin frowned and replied in a displeased manner, “If you think that it’s so easy to give you a post here, please go back to your Duanmu Group and find a post there. Forget an ordinary post; you can even take up an executive-level post up to your liking. After all, it’s your own company. I guess no one would have any objections.”

There was a slight pause before Duanmu Xue growled, “Is this how you talk to me?” She then widened her eyes and looked at Miss Lin indignantly. “Do you think that just because you are more experienced, you can order me? I’m the Young Lady of the Duanmu family, and I’ve been personally appointed by Grandfather Yuchi to join this company! How dare you speak to me in this way!”

Miss Lin, who was not someone who would back down easily, raised her head and replied coldly, “You are right. Though you are the Young Lady from the Duanmu family, I’m not working for Duanmu Group; I’m the secretary of the President here, so I will only take orders from him. If you have the capabilities to do so, you can ask Old Master Yuchi to find someone with a higher position to order me.”

Duanmu Xue remained silent upon hearing that.

As a bystander, Han Muzi was shocked to see that as she didn’t expect that Miss Lin was so skilled at debating. She had even rendered Duanmu Xue speechless.

However, all in all, Duanmu Xuan wanted to join the company all because of Han Muzi.

Thinking that she was the root cause of the problem, she figured it was not appropriate for Miss Lin to handle this alone. With that in mind, Han Muzi walked past the office tables to them and uttered nonchalantly, “I think you should go back now. As the Young Lady of the Duanmu family, if you can’t come in through the backdoor, why don’t you try using proper methods? Perhaps you stand a chance that way.”

Han Muzi purposely said it this way because she didn’t have a good impression of Duanmu Xue. She already knew that Han Muzi already had a relationship with Ye Moxuan, yet she still wanted to get between them deliberately.

According to Duanmu Xue, it was a fair competition. But the ugly reality was that she wanted to snatch Ye Moxuan away.

Since that was the case, why did she declare her intentions to be so upright?

If Duanmu Xue had courageously announced that she was indeed trying to sabotage their relationship, Han Muzi might have thought that at least this person was honest enough to admit what she was doing, but Duanmu Xue didn’t even have the courage to do so.

Not only did she not have the courage to admit it, she even tried to imply some rude remarks toward Han Muzi with her words. Since this was the case, Han Muzi felt she didn’t have to be nice to her anymore.

Indeed, Duanmu Xue was already quite infuriated that she had nowhere to vent her anger. As Han Muzi walked to her, she looked at her with vengeance in her eyes and growled irritably, “Don’t you dare to be arrogant too soon. Shen belongs to me. Even though you are beside him now, you can’t be with him. As long as he belongs to the Yuchi family, he would have to marry me someday. When that happens, you will be nobody. If I were you, I would have some self-consciousness and get out of here soon.”

Han Muzi merely looked at her nonchalantly and smiled. “Well, I have the same thing to tell you too—if you have some self-consciousness, you should go back to your company and find a post for yourself. If you continue to make trouble here, you are just bringing disgrace to the Duanmu family.”

“Hmph! Just you wait!”

Duanmu Xue lifted her dress and left. But before she did, she glared at Han Muzi fiercely.

Her glare was cruel and sinister, as if she was an evil python. This made Han Muzi feel a sense of danger instinctively.

Han Muzi’s heart sank, but she calmed herself down quickly.

After Duanmu Xue had left, Miss Lin walked to Han Muzi. “I could’ve dealt with her just now. Why did you chip in for nothing?”

With that, Miss Lin sighed. Han Muzi looked at her and spoke, “Miss Lin, I—”

“You what? I am the secretary of the company, and I’m years older than her. No matter how angry she was at me, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. However, you’re different; she already treats you as her rival in love, and that is really the case. From the animosity that I felt just now…” Miss Lin shook her head and touched her chin with her hand as she pondered about it. “The glare before she left was too sinister. I think you’d better be careful in everything that you are about to do in the future. She might use her position to find people to take revenge on you.”

Take revenge on me?

Han Muzi’s eyes drooped, and she did not reply to her.

“You really shouldn’t have stood forward,” Miss Lin added as she couldn’t help herself.

Hearing that, Han Muzi raised her head and shook her head nonchalantly. “Miss Lin, if she truly has such thoughts to attack me, she would still think about it regardless if I stood up against her or not.”

She wouldn’t have stopped anything that she has already planned to do just because I kept to myself just now.

When Miss Lin heard that, she immediately frowned. “So, according to you, she really has such intentions?”

Han Muzi smiled bitterly. “How would I know about that? I can’t read her mind, but I’m positive that she hates me.”

Miss Lin patted Han Muzi’s shoulder. “No matter what, you should stay vigilant. Didn’t you get together with the President already? Why don’t you tell him about this so that he can keep an eye on you?”

Tell Ye Moxuan?

Han Muzi pursed her lips and rejected Miss Lin’s suggestion.

“It has already been quite hard on him to face his grandfather, so I don’t want to bother him with such matters anymore. I have my ideas of how to deal with this.”

Perhaps I can try to contact Duanmu Zhe.

From their last encounter, Han Muzi could tell that Duanmu Zhe didn’t want his sister to be with Ye Moxuan, and from his actions, she could tell that he was quite a level-headed person. He knew that his sister would never be happy if she married someone who didn’t love her. Hence, because of that, he would rather destroy her wishful thinking and not give her his blessings.

“Fine. You really know how to put yourself in the President’s shoes. Since you have already decided, I won’t interfere with it. Anyway… just be vigilant.”

“Noted. Thank you, Miss Lin.”

Han Muzi smiled at her before returning to her desk.

When she was flipping through the documents, she couldn’t help frowning.

Indeed, she wanted to talk to Duanmu Zhe about this, but how would she find him? She didn’t have his contact.

Thinking of this, Han Muzi felt that this was quite troublesome. Do I have to go over to Duanmu Group?

For someone like her to appear without an appointment, she probably would be chased out before she could even see him.

However, Han Muzi was quite surprised that Duanmu Zhe had already taken the initiative to find her right after she thought about him in the morning.

However, he was not alone—George tagged along too.

It was George who sent a message to ask her to go to a nearby cafe. When Han Muzi arrived, she realized that Duanmu Zhe was beside George.

Han Muzi still felt quite puzzled by the fact that both of them were together.

“So we meet again.”

Duanmu Zhe gave Han Muzi a deep and meaningful smile while holding a cup of coffee in his hands.
