Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 871

Han Muzi led them from the front while George supported Ye Moxuan by his arm and they walked into the bathroom together.

The walk to the bathroom wasn’t far, but Ye Moxuan’s senses were almost controlled by the drugs. When he was sitting in the car, he stayed quiet with his eyes closed and thin lips pursed, trying his best to contain the urge that was about to break out from him.

Upon hearing a familiar voice, he opened his eyes and found that Han Muzi was hurriedly walking in front of him. Most importantly, he noticed that she was in her sleepwear.

As such, Ye Moxuan frowned.

Soon, they arrived at the bathroom. Just as Ye Moxuan entered, George stated, “Muzi, please go out for a while.”

Han Muzi had no idea what had happened, but she believed that George wouldn’t harm Ye Moxuan, so she obediently went out and stood at the bathroom door. However, she saw that George switched on the showerhead and he was going to spray water on Ye Moxuan, much to her surprise.

Han Muzi’s eyes widened at George as she shouted, “What are you doing?”

George’s hands stopped and he looked at Han Muzi, who was standing at the door. Looking at her pale face, his lips twitched, but he didn’t know how to explain this to her. “Muzi, I—”

At this moment, Ye Moxuan, who had been silent the whole time, raised his eyes before his deep eyes fell on Han Muzi’s thin figure. In a low voice, he asked, “Where’s your jacket?”

“Huh?” She did not understand why he suddenly asked her this question, so she lowered her head and took a look at the sleepwear she wore.

“Go and put on a jacket. You might catch a cold.” As he said that, more cold sweat appeared on his forehead and he looked as though he was in a lot of pain.

Han Muzi instantly felt that her nose was sour, but she obediently turned around to put on a jacket.

With a twinge of envy in his voice, George, who stood beside, said, “Wow, Yuchi, you are still worried that your woman is wearing little when you yourself are in such a state.”

George didn’t know what to say about Ye Moxuan’s situation since it was obvious that the latter was drugged and suffered while on the way here. Just when George thought that Ye Moxuan would cave into the temptation, the latter unexpectedly had the courtesy to ask Han Muzi to wear a jacket for the fear that she caught a cold.

After George said that, he did not receive any response from Ye Moxuan. So, he shot a glance at him before he noticed that this b*stard had his eyes closed again with his thin lips pursed and he was in a bad shape. As the man looked rather terrible, George slightly doubted whether the person who talked to Muzi a while ago was indeed Yuchi or not.

As such, he couldn’t resist the urge to complain, “You are so biased. I took you all the way here, but you won’t even look at me and that makes me sad.”

Probably because he was too noisy, Ye Moxuan pressed his lips and uttered in displeasure, “Have you said enough?”

“What?” George asked.

“If you have said enough, get lost.”

“Yuchi Shen, I really want to crack open your head to see whether you have only a woman inside. You place too much value on love over friendship. It was me who brought you back just now. I even came to rescue you from hell, but now you have kicked me down the ladder before you could even climb up?”

At this moment, Han Muzi had already returned to the bathroom with her jacket and stood at the door of the bathroom while holding a phone in her hand. “George, what had happened? What’s wrong with him? Is he hurt? Do I need to call an ambulance?”

Seeing that Han Muzi was flustered, George felt that if he continued to feel out of place to explain the situation to her, she might really call an ambulance. But, how should I explain it to her? He thought about it for a while. Anyway, since the current situation is already as such, there’s nothing to hide from her. It’s better if I explain to her what’s going on.

Upon having such thoughts, George looked in the direction of Han Muzi and uttered, “Muzi, Yuchi actually—”

Just then, a voice colder than ice interrupted him, “Don’t call an ambulance. I’m fine.”

Hearing that, both George and Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan, only to see him struggling to raise his eyes before it fell on her worried face. “I’m fine.”

George was speechless. Pfft, fine, my a*s. Judging by his looks, the drug is very strong and only a person with strong self-control like Yuchi can maintain his consciousness until now. If it were someone else, he’d be… But he seems to have no plans to tell Muzi. And why is that so? Is he afraid that he will scare her?

Meanwhile, Han Muzi’s thought was similar to George’s. He doesn’t look well, but he says that he is fine. He’s lying to me just because he doesn’t want me to know the truth.

Then, she carefully examined him. Since Ye Moxuan entered the apartment until now, she had not seen any injuries on him and if he was injured, there would be a strong smell of blood. Yet, she hadn’t smelled any and he had no intention to call for an ambulance therefore she presumed that there were no physical injuries. If it isn’t physical injuries, then…

After she combined Ye Moxuan’s response and George’s actions together, she felt that she had guessed the reason behind it. To confirm her suspicions, she put down her phone and looked at Ye Moxuan. “You only need to soak yourself in cold water, am I right?”

Her gentle and soft voice slipped into his ears like crawling ants, making him difficult to hold himself back. Following that, Han Muzi saw that even more cold sweat appeared on Ye Moxuan’s forehead. Looks like I’ve guessed it right—Ye Moxuan is drugged.

“Muzi…” George still had the shower head in his hand and he didn’t know what to do with it. When he entered the bathroom, he intended to use it on Ye Moxuan, but Han Muzi prevented George from doing so.

Han Muzi raised her head and her eyes fell on George’s face. In a gentle voice, she said, “George, thank you for everything tonight. You can go back first.”

George didn’t know how to reply. Having heard her words, he subconsciously shot a glance at Ye Moxuan, only to find that he still had his eyes closed. His consciousness seemed to be completely controlled by the drug and all that he was left with was a thought to cling to. “Muzi, I…”

Han Muzi put on a smile. “Yes?”

George finally made sense of the situation. Placing the shower head back to its original position, he shook his head. “Nothing. Since you have said so, then… I shall head back home.” He finally understood what was happening. The reason Duanmu Xue drugged Ye Moxuan was to seduce him, but her plans failed in the end.

George exclaimed to himself, Since Yuchi and Han Muzi are in a relationship, is there a need for me to do those extra things? Muzi is intelligent and is able to understand the situation without me having to explain anything.

“Then… I’ll head home first. Call me if there’s anything.”

Han Muzi nodded and saw him off at the door. When she was about to close the door, George pressed his hands on the door with a troubled expression on his face. Then, he replaced the troubled expression with a stern face as he looked at Han Muzi, noting, “Muzi, I know that you had a relationship with Yuchi, but… this effect of this drug is very strong, so you… must be careful.”

Han Muzi was speechless. Although she acted calm earlier, she couldn’t help but blush when she looked at George advising her with a straight face.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 872

She already tried her best to calm down and on the surface, she seemed as though she didn’t know anything. Yet, after George explained it directly, her face flushed with embarrassment and it was understandable, considering that she was still a woman.

However, the athletic built George didn’t notice her awkwardness and even tried to warn her again. Therefore, Han Muzi quickly interrupted him before he could say anything. “It’s okay. It has been a tiring night for you, George. You should head home and rest.” After that, she pushed George out of the door before slamming it shut with a bang.

The door nearly slammed into George’s nose as he tried to say something, but she was already inside the house by that time. Then, he scratched his head sadly. “Why do they always value their love over friendship?”

As George went into the elevator while moaning, he gradually remembered Han Muzi’s embarrassment. Finally, he realized how stupid he was to say those words to her. However, when he awkwardly thought about it, he felt fortunate that Yuchi wasn’t there or Yuchi would have wanted to kill him.

…

After Han Muzi shut the door, she leaned against the door and stood there before she walked to the washroom. She felt anxious with every step. She didn’t know what she was doing when she asked George to leave after learning about Ye Moxuan’s situation. Now, when she thought about it, her ears flushed even redder.

When she opened the door, Han Muzi was still hesitant on how to deal with Ye Moxuan’s situation. Then, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She stopped before dashing into the bathroom the next second and noticed Ye Moxuan, who was previously motionless, now standing under the cold water.

As it was now the winter season, the temperature was below zero degrees. Even though the heater in the house was switched on, his face was paler and his lips turned purple after being drenched in cold water.

“What are you doing?” Han Muzi rushed over to turn off the water before pulling a towel from the rack and putting it on Ye Moxuan so that he could dry himself. She did not know whether it was because of the cold water or something else, but when Ye Moxuan opened his eyes, she saw that his eyebrows were close to being frozen and felt a pain in her heart as her eyes reddened.

By this moment, Ye Moxuan had already lost all of his sanity. When he opened his eyes, he saw Han Muzi standing in front of him with red eyes. The delicate and fair face of hers and her velvet lips tempted him as much as how a freshly plucked fruit did to a hungry farmer. Suddenly, something burst through his sanity and mind.

The next second, Ye Moxuan reached out to grab the back of Han Muzi’s head before he violently leaned over to shut her lips.

Cold. This was the feeling Han Muzi felt when he leaned over to her. She didn’t know how long he had been in the cold water for him to be freezing. She couldn’t help but shudder as she subconsciously tried to push him away. However, her actions seemed to agitate the person hugging her; a second later, he firmly held her in his arms.

His force was strong as from the time when Han Muzi shivered from his kiss; it now felt like she was melting from fire as his body continuously emitted heat on hers. I suppose that this is the power of the drug.

She hadn’t forgotten that she was pregnant. If she didn’t stop him now, what happened later might not be under her control anymore. Thinking about it, Han Muzi gave him a hard shove and said to him urgently, “You need to calm yourself down. Stay calm.”

Yet, her voice was like a catalyst at that moment as it caused Ye Moxuan to attack her with more intensity. At this time, she was like a plantain holding on for dear life in the storm. When she had nowhere to escape to, Ye Moxuan suddenly pushed her away before turning his back. “Go out,” he said coldly. His voice was so husky that it sounded like he drank a bottle of strong liquor. Although it was husky, it was also sexy.

Han Muzi felt the pain inside her like her heart was bitten by ants. If she wasn’t pregnant, she definitely wouldn’t have hesitated to do it after seeing Ye Moxuan this way. But if there wasn’t any other way, she was more than willing to do it. He is already struggling to exercise self-control, so why would he push me away and tell me to get out? Is he trying hard to restrain himself?

As she thought about it, Han Muzi bit on her lower lip and walked close to him before reaching out to pull on his drenched sleeve. “That…”

However, when her hand touched Ye Moxuan, he abruptly turned over and grabbed her fine wrist before pressing her against the cold wall. He warned her coldly, “I believe you can feel how strong the drug is. If you don’t go out now…” He squinted his deep and sharp eyes as they were filled with lust.

Han Muzi bit her lips nervously because Ye Moxuan’s eyes were dark and black, as if they were coated with ink. Soon after, the vein on his forehead burst while his body constantly broke out in cold sweat. The force he exerted on her wrist also grew stronger.

Han Muzi felt the pain on her wrist, so she struggled instinctively. “You’re hurting my hand,” she whispered.

Her voice is so soft and delicate, as if it’s seducing me. But… I just can’t do it. Even though I no longer have any sanity in my mind now, I still need to cherish the person before me, and that’s the reason why I cannot… have her in this situation. Ye Moxuan grabbed hold of her shoulder and used all of his strength to push her out of the bathroom. “If you dare to enter again, don’t blame me for turning into a monster tonight.”

Just when Han Muzi was about to say something, the door was shut with a bang. She remained silent and stood in daze, staring at the closed door. Due to her nervousness, she didn’t feel cold anymore, but when she finally regained her composure, she shivered for she couldn’t stand the cold.

However, Ye Moxuan only slightly drenched her clothes and it was enough to cause her to freeze, but then what about him? There was the sound of water from the bathroom again.

Han Muzi started to worry as she slammed on the door. “Open the door and let me in!”

Although he was drugged, he was still respectful of her. If she refused to back down, then it was her fault. She also felt sorry for him after continuously letting him splash cold water on himself. After she slapped on the door a couple of times, she turned the door knob, but Ye Moxuan had already locked it from the inside.

“Ye Moxuan, please open the door now!” Han Muzi even called his full name out of frustration.

At this point, Ye Moxuan sat against the wall since his consciousness was in a mess. The only thing that he knew was to lock himself in the shower and do nothing. Even though there was someone outside screaming and banging on the door, Ye Moxuan barely heard her words and all he knew was the constant icy water flowing down his body. Muzi…

Han Muzi slammed on the door for a long time, but she did not hear any movements except for the running water. After she calmed herself and thought to herself, she went to the drawer to find a key. There was an excess key to the bathroom door to prevent any accidents from happening. Luckily, she found the key in no time and hurried to the door.

A few turns later, the door finally opened and Han Muzi saw Ye Moxuan seated against the wall with a purplish face.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 873

Seeing Ye Moxuan like this, Han Muzi couldn’t conceal her distress and her face changed as she rushed inside to switch off the water tap. She bent over her waist to touch his shoulder and she realized that his whole body was icy-cold. Being drenched in cold water for so long and the effects of the drug must have agonized him.

His clothes weighed on his body, so she could only awkwardly unbutton his clothes to take off his jacket, which became heavy as a result of being soaked.

It would have been fine for him to use cold water, but it wasn’t an option because he would need to be drenched in it until the morning. However, it was now winter, so if she allowed him to do so, he would definitely freeze.

“I need you to move your body so that I can take off this jacket.” As the jacket weighed a ton after being soaked in water, Han Muzi used all of her strength to push Ye Moxuan’s shoulder continuously.

The stoic Ye Moxuan who sat against the wall finally opened his eyes and glanced at her face. “Didn’t I tell you not to come in?” His voice lacked all forms of strength and it even had a bit of trill.

Without even lifting her head, Han Muzi already felt that his deep eyes resembled an ambushing wolf in the dark night. She refused to meet his eyes and instead repeated what she said earlier. Yet, Ye Moxuan was still motionless and slowly raised his hand to grab her wrist. “Do you know how hard I’m trying to resist myself?” he asked in a husky voice.

Han Muzi lifted her head in shock. “I-I know…” Of course she knew how he felt. Back then, she had been drugged by someone else. So it was natural for her to understand how agonizing it was to resist the urge, but it was because of this reason that she didn’t want him to suffer alone.

“You know?” Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes as they portrayed a menacing light. With a slight pull from his hand, Han Muzi fell in front of his chest. “Since you know, why do you still dare to come in?”

She nervously blinked her eyes while her eyebrows resembled two tiny fans flapping. Then, she bit on her lip and uttered, “I’m worried about you.” As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and pressed her lips, as if she was about to make a big decision. A while later, she lifted her head again as her eyes met with his. “I would like to help you.”

Listening to her, Ye Moxuan breathed heavily while he grinded his teeth. He looked at her and said, “What did you just say? Say it again!” His looks were scary and his eyes looked as though they wanted to eat her alive.

Han Muzi instinctively shrank her neck, but after seeing his pale lips and the restraint in his eyes, she only suppressed her fears and took the initiative to approach him. “I know that you’re suffering and since it’s winter now, you’ll be sick if you soak yourself in cold water for the whole night.”

Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to him, Han Muzi was still in her set of pajamas. Even though she had listened to Ye Moxuan’s advice and wore a jacket, her clothes were still drenched after that kiss with him. Now that all of her clothes were glued to her body, it revealed her curves to him. She need not need to do much and just by standing in front of Ye Moxuan was enough for him to give into the temptation, especially when her posture also implied that she wanted to help him.

How much willpower do I need to refuse her? Ye Moxuan’s eyes were dark and black, as if they were coated with thousand-year ink. He raised his hand and grabbed the back of her head before saying in a husky voice, “Are you sure?”

Just as Han Muzi nodded without hesitation, Ye Moxuan’s kiss landed on her. It was icy, cold and violent when it landed on her lips. Yet, he moved away quickly while his eyes locked with her. “If you say that you don’t want it now, there’s still a chance for you to back away.”

Then, Han Muzi pressed her red lips and reached out to unbutton his shirt. Her actions explained everything. Ye Moxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he lowered his head to watch her movements with his black eyes. It looks like I won’t be escaping this tonight.

When Ye Moxuan picked Han Muzi up, she hugged his neck while her ears flushed as red as blood. Then, she whispered in his ear, “Be gentle with me.”

Ye Moxuan kissed her ear softly and gently replied to her, “Okay.”

Soon after, there wasn’t anyone in the bathroom, but both of their wet clothes fell to the ground. It was replaced by the dimly lit room where there were two figures on the comfy bed. The warm yellow light above the bed illuminated the room. The moon hid behind the clouds, but the clouds slowly dispersed. After tonight, everything… would never be the same.

…

Han Muzi woke up early. When she opened her eyes, she saw a dusky color outside the window. Judging from this, the time should be at about 6am or so. After a night of being tossed around, she felt that her whole body ached. She bit on her lower lip before slowly removing the arm around her waist before getting up to put on some clothes.

Afterward, she turned to have a look at Ye Moxuan. Due to the effects of the drug, he was in a deep sleep. Han Muzi blinked her eyes before heading to the bathroom. She threw all the wet clothes on the bathroom floor into the washing machine, but she felt that there was something wrong about her body. Therefore, she closed the door to check up on herself and she realized that there was fresh blood in between her legs. Although the amount of blood wasn’t a lot, it was enough to scare her.

Han Muzi’s face instantly turned pale and she used a tampon before coming out of the bathroom. Her pregnancy hadn’t even reached three months. Even though she had told Ye Moxuan last night to be gentle to her and he listened, he was unable to control himself in the heat of emotions. What should I do? Will this affect the child? Han Muzi was scared inside, but she couldn’t say it to Ye Moxuan.

As she thought about it, she went out of the washroom to take her coat. Then, she saw that Song An called her. Song An… Aunty! Han Muzi felt like she had found her savior and she hurriedly took the phone, running to the balcony to answer it. “Aunty Song.”

Song An heard the anxiety in Han Muzi’s tone, so she didn’t state her purpose for calling. Instead, she asked, “What happened? Why is your tone like this? Did something happen to you?”

Han Muzi bit her lower lip as she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t form the words. The situation is already like this. What else can’t I say? At the end, she only braced herself. “Aunty, Moxuan was drugged last night.”

Listening to Han Muzi saying those words, Song An felt a thump in her heart. “What did you say?” She was so angry that she slapped the table. “Why would something like this happen? What’s the situation like?”

Han Muzi bit her lower lip and spoke in a low voice, “He is fine, so you don’t need to worry, Aunty Song.”

Hearing that he was fine, Song An let out a sigh of relief. “Then…”

“Even though he is fine, I…” Han Muzi hesitantly explained her situation to her.

Song An remained silent at first before telling her, “Then what are you standing there for? Quickly change your clothes. I’ll bring you to the hospital to have a check.” Song An was previously a doctor, so, after hearing her words, Han Muzi didn’t dare to hesitate again. After the call, she immediately returned into the house to change her clothes.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 874

After Han Muzi had finished changing her clothes, she took a look at Ye Moxuan, who was asleep. He was still in the same posture as earlier and didn’t move a muscle. It seemed as though the effects of the drug had caused him to fall into a deep sleep. This is good. I can use this time to quickly go to the hospital to have a check. If he wakes up before I come back, I’ll just tell him that I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. If he hasn’t woken up, that’d be even better.

Han Muzi helped him with his blanket before she murmured, “I’ll be back soon. Sleep soundly.”

The sleeping man’s eyebrows twitched for a moment, but there wasn’t any other reaction. Soon after, Han Muzi went out the door. When she was going down to the lobby, Song An gave her a call to say that she had already left the hotel. “You can just call a cab and we’ll meet later at XX Hospital, alright?”

Song An used to live here, so Han Muzi didn’t have any doubts about what she said and nodded. “I know, Aunty Song. I’ll call a cab immediately.” Han Muzi increased her pace, but she felt an ache in her lower abdomen and it also didn’t help that last night’s fun activities made it harder for her to walk properly.

The ache wasn’t as bad when she first woke up from bed and now, she felt weaker with each step as if she had injured her wounds. She was afraid deep in her heart, so she could only walk slowly while calling a cab. When the cab dropped Han Muzi off at the hospital, Song An came up to support her the moment she got out of the car. “Are you okay?”

Han Muzi shook her head, but after taking two steps forward, she almost fell to the ground. Luckily, Song An was quick enough to catch her. The scene almost shocked the life out of Song An. She knew that Han Muzi was now a pregnant woman, so if she really fell down and injured herself, then she, as an aunt of hers, who was standing next to her, would have a hard time explaining herself.

“Why can’t you be careful?” Song An looked at her helplessly although there were traces of criticism in her eyes.

Han Muzi felt awkward in her heart. Initially, she refused to inform Song An about this matter because it was an embarrassing matter after all. However, given the current situation, she had to let Song An know. Now that she had been reprimanded by Song An, Han Muzi didn’t dare to talk back and only murmured, “I’m sorry, Aunty Song. My mind… drifted off a bit.”

Seeing that Han Muzi apologized to her with lowered eyelids, Song An realized that she went a tad bit overboard just now. Therefore, she softly coughed and changed her tone. “It’s fine. I don’t mean to blame you. It’s just that I was worried that you almost fell down.” Then, Song An brought Han Muzi inside the hospital.

When Han Muzi walked, she held back on her pain and was a bit slow in her pace. Song An also noticed her weird posture and twitched her lips, as if to say something but she didn’t. Forget it. The situation is already as such and there’s no point for me to say anything now. Let’s just wait for the test results and take it from there.

It was still early when they came to the hospital, so they didn’t need to wait in a line for a number and went to the doctor straight away for her check. Song An stayed by Han Muzi’s side during the whole process. After the results were out, the doctor frowned and said to her, “Your child isn’t even three months old. How could you be so careless?”

Han Muzi bit on her lower lip while Song An explained faintly on her behalf, “This is not an ordinary situation.”

“What kind of a special situation is this? Even if you couldn’t resist it, you still can’t do something like this. There are signs of miscarriage.”

Listening to the doctor made Han Muzi’s face pale and she almost collapsed. Fortunately, Song An was there to give her a hand or she would’ve definitely fallen on her back.

Song An couldn’t help but frown at the doctor’s words. “Doctor, the situation you’re saying will never happen again. She wasn’t even sure that she was pregnant. So isn’t that why we came to the hospital immediately after noticing something is wrong?”

The doctor shook her head resignedly, but after seeing Han Muzi speechless with a pale face when hearing about the signs of miscarriage, she felt sorry for Han Muzi, so she only said, “There’s only signs of misccariage, but that doesn’t mean it will lead to a miscarriage. If you look after yourself properly, you can still give birth successfully, but…” Her eyes fell on Han Muzi as she continued, “You will still need to be extra careful. You must not be startled and situations like this should never ever happen again.” As she finished, she advised her, “You need to stay in the hospital to recover.”

Stay in the hospital? Han Muzi immediately shook her head. “No, I can’t stay in the hospital.”

Listening to her, the doctor squinted her eyes at her and Song An quickly responded, “It’s like this. Our situation at home is quite complicated, so she can’t stay in the hospital for the moment. Doctor, is there any other way?”

The doctor was rendered speechless. Since the patient was unwilling to cooperate, she only thought of an alternative. At the end, she uttered, “Then you need to look after the child. When you return home, you need to lie down more often on the bed and rest. You also need to come here for your regular checkups. If there is any problem, come to the hospital immediately.”

Han Muzi accepted the advice and nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”

…

When they exited the hospital, it wasn’t early anymore. Han Muzi took out her phone to have a look and realized that there were many missed calls from Ye Moxuan. It seemed like he had woken up from his slumber.

“He called you?” Song An had a peek at her phone screen before asking.

Han Muzi nodded. “Yes.”

“Then, have you thought of what to say to him?” Han Muzi still thought about it and couldn’t answer Song An’s question. Then, Song An pressed her lips. “Do you want me to go back with you? I can help you explain.”

“No need for that, Aunty. I already feel sorry for troubling you to come with me to the hospital early in the morning. It was a tiring day for you yesterday, so today you should head back and have a rest.”

A rest? Song An raised her eyebrows and smiled. “You really are considerate. You really think I can sit still after what happened last night? I thought there wouldn’t be any unusual activities there, yet…” At this point, Song An’s eyes became colder.

Han Muzi wanted to say something, but her phone rang again. Song An smiled gently. “You don’t need to worry about me. I’m actually familiar with this place. After all, I’ve lived here before for many years. Since Moxuan is looking for you, you should go back now. Please be careful not to hurt your child again.”

Hearing her words, Han Muzi nodded with a blushed face. “Thank you, Aunty Song. I know.”

“Just call me ‘Aunty’ from now on. You don’t need to be this polite to me since we’re going to be a family soon.” Song An reached out to caress Han Muzi’s head while she spoke, “Go on now.”

After Han Muzi bid Song An farewell, she took a cab back. In the car, she answered Ye Moxuan’s call. “Hello?”

The other side was quiet for a few seconds before a husky voice was heard. “Where are you?”

Han Muzi had a look outside the car and smiled. “I went to the supermarket to buy some stuff. I’ll be back now.”

He hadn’t expected her to be at the supermarket, hence he remained silent for a while before urging her, “Come back earlier or you can send your location to me and I’ll pick you up.”

“No need for that. I’ll be back soon. Just wait for me.”

After the call ended, Ye Moxuan stared at the phone as he drifted away.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 875

After what had happened last night, his first reaction when he regained his consciousness was to hug Han Muzi, but he found out that his arms were empty. When he opened his dark eyes, he couldn’t find any traces of her.

Ye Moxuan quickly removed the blanket and woke up, realizing that the bed sheet and quilt were wrinkled up. He called out for her another time, but there was no response from her and he stood up to put on some clothes before he searched the room. At the end, the room was quiet and there weren’t any traces of Han Muzi.

Ye Moxuan sat by the bed with him being the only one in the room. If not for the wrinkles on the bed sheet, he would have doubted whether what happened last night was true. After a moment of silence, he took out his phone to call Han Muzi. A beep later, two beeps later, three beeps later… At the end, all he heard was the voice of a cold and polite woman apologizing, “I’m sorry. The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”

Ye Moxuan frowned as his delicate fingers continued to dial the phone, but his calls went unanswered. His eyebrows furrowed even more as the grip on his phone tightened. Don’t tell me, she regretted what happened last night? Is that why she left at the crack of dawn and refused to answer my calls? When that thought popped up in his mind, his eyelids twitched. He immediately rose to his full height to head outside, but stopped in his tracks when he passed by the bathroom.

Looking inside, he saw that both of their clothes from last night were already in the washing machine, but it wasn’t switched on yet. Maybe it was because she was afraid of waking him up earlier in the morning. Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened when he saw this.. If she had really regretted it, she would’ve just packed her things and left without doing all these.

He stood still and quietly looked at the washing machine before going back into the room. It was at this time that he noticed Han Muzi’s luggage was still there and only her purse and phone were gone. Maybe she just went out, he thought to himself.

Ye Moxuan further thought, As for her not answering her phone, she might have silenced her phone or it was too noisy outside for her to hear it ringing. He comforted himself as all of it seemed to make sense.

However, when he closed his eyes, he thought of the scene last night, which made him feel like a monster. She helped me because she was worried. Does that even give me the right to lose control? We just got together not too long ago and we slept together in the end because I was drugged. Come to think of it, I have definitely wronged her. So, if she got angry and left, I suppose it’s normal for her to do so.

A while later, Ye Moxuan had trouble sitting still to wait for Han Muzi, so he called someone to help him check on her location. Soon after, the building’s surveillance footage was sent to his email and he clicked on it to have a look. He realized that when she went out, there was nothing out of the ordinary with her. Her facial expression and body language were all normal, except that she had a weird posture when she walked.

Ye Moxuan fell silent as he remembered how rough he was with her last night and how Han Muzi had constantly begged him to be gentle with her. This recollection darkened his eyes while his throat continuously rolled. She tasted… as good as he had expected. Even though he was under the influence of drugs, he was aware that even if he was sober, he would still have had the same reaction when he faced her.

He saw that she picked up her phone and by the looks of it, she was just heading outside. Afterward, he received news that she went out together with Song An. Hearing Song An’s name left Ye Moxuan startled. Isn’t that her aunt?

“Young Master Xuan, she went with Song An to—”

“Alright,” Ye Moxuan interrupted him. “I understand.” Since she went out with Song An, then there shouldn’t be any problem. After all, she was just a girl, so she would want a close relative to console her, especially what had happened last night.

Ye Moxuan did not delve too much into it later, so the person who looked into it could only keep the news about Han Muzi and Song An heading to the hospital to himself. Forget it, he thought to himself. If Young Master Xuan doesn’t want to know about it, then there’s no point for me to say it either.

It was probably because Ye Moxuan was afraid of losing Han Muzi that he continuously rang her phone. Finally, she answered the call. Her voice sounded normal, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Therefore, he let out a sigh of relief.

Han Muzi went to a nearby supermarket and purchased some daily essentials that were light enough for her to carry before she prepared to return home. However, she had not expected Ye Moxuan to pick her up himself when she exited the supermarket.

He went to her and took the bags in her hand before speaking in a low voice, “Why did you go out without saying a word?”

He wore a gray coat and his eyes were deep while he pressed his lips. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him. Yes, he is alright now, she thought. She was freaked out when she saw his purplish lips and lustful face last night.

Han Muzi held onto his hand naturally. “I saw that you were asleep, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Ye Moxuan remained silent before he squinted his eyes and said in a deep husky voice, “Are you not tired? Last night was…”

Before he finished his sentence, Han Muzi’s face suddenly blushed as she cut him off. “Don’t you say it.” Last night… he really was… When she thought of how he forced her to be assertive, her ears started to turn red again.

Seeing her shy face, all the sadness in his heart suddenly disappeared all at once. Then, it was replaced by her red face and blushing ears. Her face…

Ye Moxuan’s black eyes sparkled as his throat continued to roll while he restrained himself by diverting his sight. After that, he held her delicate hands with his big palms and said in a husky voice, “Alright. I won’t say it.” She actually thought that he was being honest, but he later followed it up with another sentence. “I’ll just do it.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Before this, it was only her ears and face that blushed, but now the redness had spread to her neck while she used all of her strength to poke his palm with her finger. She had no idea if her pinch was hurting Ye Moxuan or not because she was only aware that his eyes filled with the joy of being pampered. With his huge figure next to her, it looked like a parent coaxing his child and as long as the child was willing, he would let her do anything that she wanted.

A while later, Han Muzi retracted her hands when she remembered the doctor’s advice while she was in the hospital, so she murmured, “We can’t… do it again.” My baby isn’t even three months old and if something like last night ever happened again, I wouldn’t know what would happen to the child. Although the baby is alright this time, I still had signs of miscarriage and the blood stains itself are enough to shock the life out of me.

Ye Moxuan had no idea what her thoughts were, but after he listened to her, he thought that he had scared her last night. So, he slightly curled up his lips. “Next time… I will be gentle.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 876

This man. He always likes to be direct about it. Han Muzi felt that if she kept on talking with him, she would be the one taken advantage of. Hence, she cut off the conversation right on time and changed the subject. “Let’s go back home first.”

The supermarket wasn’t far away from her community, so that was probably why Ye Moxuan could find her.

However, Han Muzi was still worried. After all, she went out early in the morning, and according to the call from Ye Moxuan, she didn’t know whether he had done something about it. What should I do if he asks me? What should I say? Should I just tell him the truth?

Han Muzi pursed her lips as she seemed to be lost in her thoughts when being dragged forward by Ye Moxuan. She thought to herself, Actually… I don’t have anything to hide from him on purpose since these are all his past memories that he has lost. If… he really notices or remembers something… speaking the truth doesn’t seem that bad at all.

Ye Moxuan came by car, so he brought Han Muzi into his car, but when he saw her entering the car heavy-hearted, he stretched his hand out to block her head from colliding with the doorframe.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi was still thinking about the matter when all of a sudden, she felt a warm breath closing in on her. When she came back around, she suddenly saw his handsome face enlarged right in front of her.

She was shocked.

Han Muzi was taken aback by the handsome face inches away from her while she breathed heavily. “W-What are you doing?”

He squinted his narrow eyes slightly, forming a beautiful arc. Then, Ye Moxuan quirked up his thin lips. “Seatbelt.”

After that, he reached out to help her put on the seatbelt.

Just as he was finished, he didn’t back away; instead, he got even closer. Both of them were able to smell each other’s breath.

“What are you in a daze for?”

Han Muzi was speechless at first. “Nothing,” she said while turning her head away to divert her sight.

The next second, Ye Moxuan squeezed her chin and forcefully turned her head back. Now, Han Muzi had to look at his eyes.

“W-What are you doing?” Because he was now very close to her, Han Muzi could even see the fine hair on his face, which made her think of last night’s heart-pounding scene. Then, her heart started throbbing in her body relentlessly, as if it was trying to burst out.

“Nothing? Look at you now.” Ye Moxuan lowered his voice as it became husky. “How many times have you drifted away while thinking about last night?”

Han Muzi’s face suddenly flushed red, then she stretched her hand out to push him away. “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and drive your car.”

As soon as she pushed him away, she quickly turned to face the car window because she didn’t dare to look at Ye Moxuan in the eye.

After a moment of silence in the car, the car finally departed.

Soon after, the two of them were back at home. The first thing Han Muzi did after coming back was taking off her shoes before dashing to the kitchen without even uttering a word to Ye Moxuan.

Due to her quick pace, she felt the pain on her lower body and frowned, causing her walking posture to become weird. She didn’t dare to stop because of the fiery eyes staring at her from behind, so she could only hold on to the pain and walk into the kitchen casually. Then, she closed the kitchen door with a bang.

Bang! Seeing this scene and hearing the closing kitchen door from the entrance, Ye Moxuan unconsciously touched his nose. The door is so far away, but why do I have a feeling that it was slammed in my nose?

After closing the kitchen door, Han Muzi finally felt that she had her own personal space, and the facade that she had been maintaining could finally fade away at once. Then, she rubbed her waist and moved forward with difficulty.

She placed the bags on the table and untied all of them one at a time before putting the groceries in the fridge.

She had spent the whole morning for the medical check-up, so she hadn’t eaten her breakfast yet. It would be too late for her to cook porridge now; therefore, she decided to cook noodles.

Han Muzi started the fire to boil the water. Then, she took out a ball of noodles from the bag. She bought it just now from the supermarket, and she would add some simple ingredients to it later.

After the water was boiled, she added the noodles into it.

At this moment, she heard the door creak, and later on, steady footsteps came from behind. Han Muzi felt a thump in her heart, but she quickly composed herself.

Then, her waist was wrapped around by a big hand while the huge man hugged her from behind. He lowered his head gently to lean on her shoulder. “Why did you leave this morning without sleeping for a few more minutes?” he asked in a hoarse voice.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless. He finally asked.

Just when she was hesitant on what to answer him, she felt a sudden softness on her neck.

Ye Moxuan gently kissed her neck with his thin lips and murmured, “I thought that you regretted it.”

What? Han Muzi thought she had mistaken his words. Did he say that he thought I regretted it?

Thinking about it, she blinked her eyes. “How could I… regret it?”

However, when she thought of it, it would be weird for him not to imagine things when realizing that she was gone early in the morning without leaving a word, especially after what happened last night. If she were the one left behind, her mind would’ve been a muddled mess right now.

Han Muzi avoided his kiss by turning away. “About last night… what actually happened?”

When she mentioned last night, a trace of hostility flashed through Ye Moxuan’s eyes, but he didn’t follow up.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi asked hesitantly, “Last night… didn’t your grandfather ask you to go back? Why did you come back…”

She was now suspicious of how he was drugged. Did… his grandfather know about this too?

Seeing her lost in her thoughts, Ye Moxuan reached out to comb her hair to the back of her head before replying to her in a deep voice, “You don’t need to worry about it. I will handle it myself.”

She bit her lower lip. “Last night, before you went out, you told me to wait for you. At the end—”

“At the end, I came back, didn’t I?” Ye Moxuan cut her off. “Even though I was drugged, I still came back, didn’t I?”

Han Muzi looked at him for a moment while biting her lips. “What a lame argument.”

Even though he came back, I was still worried about him, especially after such a serious matter. Also, under such a dangerous situation like last night, what if he didn’t come back? Then would he… As she thought about it, Han Muzi said to him, “I guess if it weren’t for George, you probably wouldn’t have come back.”

“I would’ve,” Ye Moxuan answered her firmly, leaving her dumbfounded. “I would’ve come back even if it weren’t for George. I can guarantee it.”

Han Muzi stared at him in daze since she didn’t expect such a reaction from him. She remained silent while Ye Moxuan caressed her cheek with his huge hand, and his gaze softened. “Last night must have been tiring for you. Have a proper rest at home today and don’t go to the company.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 877

Han Muzi didn’t oppose him.

She felt that she was unable to work in her current state. After all, the doctor already advised her to stay in bed and rest. If it was just an ordinary fatigue, she wouldn’t take it seriously, but now that she had signs of miscarriage, she obviously needed to look after herself.

Thinking about it, Han Muzi went with the flow. “Then… I would like to rest for a few days. Is that alright?”

Listening to her, Ye Moxuan could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Are you really that tired?” Han Muzi felt distressed about it, but before she could talk, he said to her, “Looks like we can’t do it like that the next time.”

Just when Han Muzi wanted to say something after being enraged by him, the noodles had already boiled. It startled her so much that she turned away to turn off the fire without thinking of anything else. Then, she started to drive him out. “You can get out now. I’ll take care of this.”

After the two of them filled their stomach with a bit of noodles, Ye Moxuan put down the bowl and announced, “This evening, I will ask Aunty to come over here.”

“No need—”

“I’m going to deal with what happened last night. You stay at home alone, alright?”

“Alright, then you should be careful. If possible, bring George with you.”

Even though George looked like a flippant person, he was still reliable during crucial moments, which was different from his usual carefree self.

After she mentioned George, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but look at her again. “Last night, were you the one who asked him to come over?”

“Yeah…” Han Muzi felt a little guilty as she tried to avoid his eyes. Then, she explained softly, “Last night, I was worried because you were not back even though it was late. Plus, I couldn’t go out, so I called George and asked him to go over there to have a look.”

“Alright,” Ye Moxuan replied to her.

When Ye Moxuan got into the car, he called George.

Meanwhile, George was waiting for his call. Although he left the place last night, he stayed up all night waiting. This was a typical example of an observer being more anxious than the people involved.

Just before dawn, he dozed off somehow.

When he woke up, he realized that it was already day time, and his phone was still lying next to his pillow quietly without a single call. All of a sudden, George felt upset! I was so worried about them for so long last night, and they didn’t even care to call me and explain the current situation. Don’t they know that I worry for them too?

However, after giving it a thought, he remembered that Ye Moxuan was drugged last night, and the two of them were together at the end. He started to feel more and more aggrieved, like a deflated balloon. Just then, his phone rang, and it successfully stopped the deflation.

George quickly answered the phone. “Yuchi, you finally called!”

Ye Moxuan was driving the car up the bridge when he heard George’s cries coming from the phone. Suddenly, he frowned and spat coldly, “Shut up.”

He stopped his cries in an instant before following up. “Yuchi, do you know how long I have waited for you? Last night, you were there having a great time, while I—”

Hearing the words ‘having a great time’ caused Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows to frown even further as he cut off his words with displeasure. “Don’t you ever mention that again.”

George was curious. “Why—”

“Because Muzi is shy.”

“Damn!” George exclaimed.

Sure enough, I shouldn’t even answer his call. This bastard is actually showing off his happy relationship without warning again. Gosh, how I hope to kick that smug a*s of his, George thought.

There was traffic ahead, so Ye Moxuan slowed down his car and said to him slowly, “I’m now going back.”

“Huh? Are you going back to the Yuchi residence? Then I’ll go with you!” George immediately volunteered himself; after all, he was a witness for last night’s events, and he realized right away that Yuchi Shen was now going back to deal with what happened

It was exactly what Ye Moxuan wanted, so he answered him and agreed.

George got up from his bed straight away and put on his clothes while asking him, “To be honest, it was Duanmu Xue who drugged you last night, right?”

Ye Moxuan remained speechless as his eyes darkened.

“She really must be crazy to have done something like this.”

Then, Ye Moxuan cut him off because he was afraid that he would start rambling away as usual. “See you later at the Yuchi residence.”

Afterward, he ended the call.

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, George sat still while his eyes were starting to fill with anguish. Duanmu Xue… Back when I didn’t know about her true self, I really really liked her. At that time, I thought that her name suited her. She really was like a snow in the sky—pure, noble and gorgeous. But now… the past is painful to recall.

George let out a bitter laugh as he told himself not to think of this anymore. Who’s never made bad judgments when they were young? Even though I have liked Duanmu Xue for a long time, haven’t I seen her true colors now after so many years? He was fortunate that he went to find Duanmu Xue that day; otherwise, he would’ve never known how rotten of a person she was.

Thinking about it, George continued packing his stuff before going out the door.

At the Yuchi residence.

“It’s fine, Xue. Don’t cry.” Old Master Yuchi was guarding Duanmu Xue by the bed while coaxing her.

At this moment, Duanmu Xue was in tears. Her head was covered by a thick layer of bandages while she cried until her eyes were swollen.

“What did you do to her?” Seeing her crying this way really frustrated Old Master Yuchi as he turned his head to scold the family doctor next to him. “How did you treat her wound? Why is she still crying?”

The family doctor looked at the scene resignedly and sighed. “Old Master, I have already treated Miss Duanmu’s wound. The reason she’s crying like this… is probably because of…”

“Because of what?”

The family doctor had another glance at Duanmu Xue since he was afraid that his words might provoke her again. When he told her before that the wound might leave a scar on her forehead, it immediately agitated this beautiful girl. Therefore, facing Yuchi Jin’s sharp eyes, he thought for a while before explaining, “The wound on Miss Duanmu’s forehead… might leave a permanent scar.”

“What?” Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes. “A scar?”

Listening to them, Duanmu Xue’s cries intensified.

Her sobbings echoed around the room, so the doctor could only try to comfort her gently. “Miss Duanmu, don’t be sad about it. I know that all girls cherish their beauty, so even if it leaves a scar on your forehead, we can still remove it through surgery.”

Yuchi Jin quickly followed up his point. “He is right, Xue. The technology now is so advanced, unlike the old days… It’s okay, Xue. Even if it leaves a scar, I will find the best hospital for you to have your restoration surgery. I can guarantee you that you’ll be back to what you used to be.”

Duanmu Xue was still crying with her tearful eyes as she pulled Yuchi Jin’s sleeve. “Old Master Yuchi, Shen never liked me anyway. If I have a scar on me this time, Shen will definitely hate me.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 878

As she mentioned Ye Moxuan, the fire in Yuchi Jin’s eyes started burning, then he bellowed, “That brat really crossed the line this time. He actually got you hurt like this. Xue… don’t worry. I will bring justice to you. He got you injured this way, so he must bear full responsibility!”

Hearing Yuchi Jin’s words, Duanmu Xue gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Grandfather Yuchi, can I live here during this period? I’m afraid that if my grandfather and brother found out about this…”

At this point, she cleverly stopped her sentence. Then, Yuchi Jin followed up. “Don’t worry. You can stay. It was my grandson who hurt you, so I won’t abandon you because I’m a reasonable man. Besides, you are the future granddaughter-in-law of the Yuchi family. I will talk to your grandfather and brother for you.”

“Thank you, Grandfather Yuchi.” Duanmu Xue lowered her head softly, but a trace of slyness flashed through her eyes. Looks like Grandfather Yuchi has yet to know that I drugged Ye Moxuan. Even if he finds out, I won’t admit to it since that cup of tea was given to him by a servant of the Yuchi family. I have already informed the servant, and she has received her huge sum of money, so she won’t tell anyone. As for Ye Moxuan, it has come to this, so I suppose he won’t bring it up directly to anyone. I only need to wait to take responsibility.

Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Yuchi Jin was not in a good mood, and so his tone became impatient.

Yu Bo, who was standing at the door, looked toward Yuchi Jin respectfully. “Old Master, Young Master Xuan is back.”

Listening to him, Duanmu Xue’s eyes lit up. He’s back?

She felt happy inside because he was finally back, but soon after, she thought of something else while her expression darkened. She gave Ye Moxuan a large dose because she really cherished her only chance last night, and there was only one notion in her mind, and that was to make him stay at all cost. However, she didn’t expect him to push her away, which caused her to bump her head so hard that she started seeing stars. When she got her senses back, he was already gone.

After a night of disappearance, Ye Moxuan was now back. Yet, last night… she didn’t know who had benefited from it. Thinking about it, Duanmu Xue tightened her fists with anger. I can’t believe someone else has benefited from my efforts, but who cares, for I’m the Young Lady of the Duanmu family.

When Yuchi Jin heard that Ye Moxuan was back, he quickly stood up, as though he was provoked. “He still has the audacity to come back. Good. Then let’s just see what he wants!”

“Grandfather Yuchi,” Duanmu Xue called him softly as she pleaded for Ye Moxuan’s sake. “Please don’t blame Shen too much. He… can’t be fully blamed for this matter.”

“Who else should I blame except him? You’d better rest here and wait for me while I take care of him.” As he finished, Yuchi Jin left the room. The doctor let Duanmu Xue rest properly before going out as well.

As for Yu Bo, he followed closely behind Yuchi Jin down the stairs. As they kept on walking, he heard Old Master bellow, “Yu Bo, bring me the family punishment.”

Yu Bo was rendered speechless before he replied to him, “Old Master, Young Master Xuan is already an adult now. I don’t think it’s appropriate to use the family punishment on him.”

Old Master Yuchi was a traditional man, and that was why the Yuchi family still had their family punishment.

Hearing his words, Yuchi Jin stopped his steps and glared at him with discontent. “Yu Bo, what are you saying? Although he is an adult now, he still injured Xue. If I don’t use the family punishment, he won’t know his place.”

While listening to him, Yu Bo unconsciously touched his nose as he spoke a few words for Ye Moxuan. “Although Young Master Xuan has not lived here for long, he doesn’t seem like a rash person. And also, Miss Duanmu is a girl after all, so he wouldn’t resort to hurting her no matter how angry he was.”

Yu Bo’s thoughts were different from Yuchi Jin’s since he was just a housekeeper, and for him, he was an outsider of the situation. Usually, outsiders would see the big picture more clearly than the people involved, unlike Yuchi Jin, whose mind was filled with his own stubborn thoughts; he even felt that his grandson was too extreme with his method. But from Yu Bo’s point of view, Young Master Xuan didn’t seem like a person who would do such a thing.

Even so, Yuchi Jin’s mind seemed to be enlightened by his words. Then, he squinted his eyes and stared at Yu Bo sternly. “So… what you mean is…”

Yu Bo let out a cough softly. “I’m guessing that there might have been a misunderstanding. Old Master, after all, Young Master Xuan is still your grandson, whom you’ve searched so hard for. So you shouldn’t hurt his heart… for certain things.”

Yuchi Jin was rendered speechless. Yu Bo really showed that he was the person who stayed by him the longest as he was able to speak to Yuchi Jin’s heart. Sometimes, Yuchi Jin really felt that he would one day push his grandson, Ye Moxuan, off the edge by forcing him.

However, as he thought of it, he remembered his mother’s tragedy back then. Then, Yuchi Jin felt that it didn’t matter if he hated him more because he hoped that his grandson could stay by his side forever.

Thinking about it, Yuchi Jin let out a heavy sigh. “I know what you mean. Enough. Don’t talk about it anymore. I have my own thoughts about it.”

When George and Ye Moxuan came to the hall downstairs, Yu Bo went to look for Old Master Yuchi.

Soon after, Yu Bo brought him over.

Seeing both of them slowly walking toward him, Ye Moxuan stood up.

Thud! Just like that, Yuchi Jin lifted his hand and hit his cane on Ye Moxuan’s shoulder.

Oh, sh*t! George was not quick enough to stop him. Before he even saw Yuchi Jin making the move, the cane had already landed on Ye Moxuan’s shoulder. The firm sound of the collision made it sound even more painful.

George stood up immediately. “Yuchi, are you alright?”

Yu Bo, who followed Old Master Yuchi from behind, was also shocked. At first, he thought that Old Master Yuchi might have taken in some of his words, so he was surprised to see him hitting Ye Moxuan the moment they met. By the looks of Young Master Xuan, it seemed that he had no intentions to run; otherwise, with his agility, he definitely could’ve avoided it, Yu Bo thought quietly.

Actually, Ye Moxuan had a plan of his own; he really didn’t try to avoid the hit. As long as Old Master Yuchi would stop forcing him to be engaged with Duanmu Xue, this hit was worth the while. It would help to calm Yuchi Jin down, which would make it easier to talk to him later.

Meanwhile, Yuchi Jin didn’t expect him to not avoid it and just stand there to be hit. The hit wasn’t soft at all. I thought that he would try to avoid it, but…

Suddenly, he felt a bit sorry for him, but he didn’t express it; instead, he scolded him, “You brat. How dare you come back after injuring Xue like this!”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 879

George, who was standing aside, squinted his eyes strangely after hearing his words. Duanmu Xue is injured? How did that happen? He gave Ye Moxuan a look, as though he wanted to ask him.

However, he knew what he should do now, so he went up to Old Master Yuchi hurriedly to move away the cane and smiled. “Grandfather Yuchi, don’t be so angry. This stick is not light at all. What if you accidentally hurt Yuchi? Who will manage the company then?” he kept on saying while putting down the cane.

Hearing his words, Yuchi Jin bellowed, “It’s good if he is hurt. That way, he can finally understand how much wrong he has done.”

George continued smiling. “Grandfather Yuchi, even if he was wrong, you can still punish him after understanding the situation clearly. Seeing you hit him like this, even I feel aggrieved for Xuan, never mind him.”

Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes after listening to him. “You feel aggrieved for him?” He put away his cane while looking at George. Then, he gave Ye Moxuan a glare before he scoffed. “What’s there to be aggrieved of? Xue is already injured like this. Try telling me yourself what is there to be aggrieved of.”

The hit was a painful one, but Ye Moxuan remained emotionless, as if that hit didn’t land on him at all.

He pursed his lips and gave Yuchi Jin a cold look. “Grandfather, do you know what happened last night?”

As he mentioned about last night, Yuchi Jin could feel his rage erupting. “How would I not know? I let you in to see Xue, and you injured her before running away.” As he finished, Yuchi Jin threw his cane aside straight away as he sat down. It was obvious that he was furious.

Seeing his expression, Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes. Looks like grandfather doesn’t know that I was drugged. If I let him know that Duanmu Xue, who he values highly, did something this despicable, what will he feel?

Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan quirked up the corners of his mouth and revealed a vague smile.

Yuchi Jin just so happened to see it, so he grinded his teeth. “You brat. What are you smiling for?”

George saw Ye Moxuan’s expression from the side and thought, Sh*t. If I don’t explain the situation quickly, I’m afraid that Yuchi’s temperament will make it hard for him to explain the whole thing. Now, even George felt fortunate that he came with him.

Therefore, George stepped up and walked to the front of Yuchi Jin. “Grandfather Yuchi, you only know about Duanmu Xue’s injury, but you don’t know about the complications behind it,” he spoke to him softly.

Complications? Old Master Yuchi glanced at George. “What complications? Enlighten me. I want to know the reason that caused this brat to injure Duanmu Xue like this.”

George gave it a thought for a moment as he looked at Ye Moxuan. While he was organizing his words, Ye Moxuan suddenly spoke coldly, “If Duanmu Xue did something despicable and shameless, will you still ask me to be engaged to her, grandfather?”

His words provoked Yuchi Jin as he stood up fiercely. “What do you mean despicable and shameless? You’d better be clear!”

Actually, Yuchi Jin did listen to Yu Bo’s words, but he just couldn’t figure out what Duanmu Xue could have done to anger his grandson so much that he injured her.

Ye Moxuan’s eyes and expression were cold and indifferent when he said to him casually, “Last night, I, your grandson, almost ended up in the hospital.”

“What did you just say?” Yuchi Jin grinded his teeth while looking at him. Then, he turned over to George. “What actually happened?”

George remained silent. He was organizing his words at first, but he didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to beat him to it. Without any choice, he could only explain to him, “Grandfather Yuchi, it was actually like this. Even though I wasn’t there myself, I was waiting outside to pick up Xuan. At that time, he looked like he was in bad shape, and his consciousness was starting to slip. I didn’t know the reason that caused him to be muddled, but there was no one else in Yuchi residence that could have drugged him except Duanmu Xue. Am I right?”

He didn’t quite explain it clearly. From his words, Yuchi Jin could faintly hear him say that Ye Moxuan was drugged, then he became unconscious and was almost sent to the hospital.

Thinking about it, he felt that it was all nonsense. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Are you saying that Xue tried to hurt Xuan? How is that possible? You’ve seen before how Xue took care of Xuan. How could she do such things?”

George remained speechless at first before replying, “Grandfather Yuchi, I didn’t say that Duanmu Xue tried to hurt Xuan. And… who says all drugs are poisonous?” George dragged the last word. However, after seeing that Yuchi Jin was still frowning and unconvinced, he simply changed the shape of his mouth.

Yuchi Jin couldn’t understand him. He squinted his eyes at him, then he looked toward Yu Bo.

Yu Bo also couldn’t wrap his head around it, but thinking of how crazy Duanmu Xue was about their Young Master Xuan, if the drug wasn’t used to hurt him, then it was probably…

As he figured it out, Yu Bo’s old face blushed as he let out a cough softly. “Old Master, I think I know what drug Young Master George is talking about.”

“What is it? Say it out now. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Yu Bo had a look at Ye Moxuan’s dark face before explaining to him, “If what we thought is true, Miss Duanmu definitely didn’t intend to hurt Young Master Xuan. Instead, she’s madly in love with him, so if this drug wasn’t poisonous, I’m afraid it was… that kind of drug.”

That kind of drug? Yuchi Jin never thought of it that way, because in his mind, the Duanmu family was a prominent family. Therefore, their children were all well-educated and noble, so it was impossible for them to commit such a thing. That was why when George repeated it many times, he still couldn’t get what he was saying.

Now with the explanation and implication given by Yu Bo, he gradually thought of it that way. Does he mean… aphrodisiac drugs?

With that, Yuchi Jin’s expression immediately soured.

Ye Moxuan smiled coldly. “Grandfather, according to your logic, after what she did to me, wasn’t it her fault that I injured her while I was unconscious? Don’t you think it’s unfair to blame it all on me?”

George nodded in agreement. “He’s right, Grandfather Yuchi. Xuan never gave in to it. Not many people have such a strong willpower as him. Therefore, it was all Duanmu Xue’s fault that she got injured.”

Yuchi Jin glared at George with displeasure and spat, “Shut up! This is between us Yuchi family and Duanmu Xue. Why are you here poking into our business?”

George was rendered speechless. He didn’t expect to be targeted, so he looked toward Ye Moxuan for help.

At this moment, Yuchi Jin was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe that Duanmu Xue would do such things. He watched her grow up almost her whole life, and usually, she was kind, considerate and even polite to elders. When Ye Moxuan got injured, she was the one who took care of him. How could she possibly commit such a despicable thing? Drugging him… What kind of a person would do such a thing?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 880

The more he thought about it, the more nonsensical it became, so Yuchi Jin simply threw away the idea from his head. “That’s impossible. I watched Xue grow up her whole life. How could she possibly do such a thing? You brat, are you ganging up with George to lie to me so that you wouldn’t be engaged with Xue?”

George was rendered speechless at first. “Grandfather Yuchi, how could we possibly gang up to lie to you? With our reputation at stake, how could we possibly speak nonsense if it is not true?”

At this moment, Ye Moxuan let out a faint laugh. Although he was laughing, the sound of it was actually chilling and devoid of any warmth. “I’ve guessed it from the start that you won’t believe us, so…” He stopped, then two people quickly came in while detaining a servant.

The scene caused George to blink his eyes, as if he couldn’t get any sense of what was happening. When Yuchi Jin saw the detained servant, he immediately recognized her as the one who served tea everyday. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, but he didn’t expect his grandson to have acted that fast.

When the servant saw everyone in the hall after being brought in by two men in black, her face instantly turned pale. “Let me go. Let me go now. I don’t know anything. Let me go…” Without having to say what it was about, her frantic reaction was enough to explain everything.

As Old Master Yuchi saw the servant’s mad expression, he suddenly felt that what Ye Moxuan and George said might be true. That little girl, Duanmu Xue, really did a despicable and shameless act. However… if this thing actually spreads out, the reputation of the Duanmu family will most likely be destroyed by Xue. I have such a deep friendship with the Duanmu family, so how could I possibly do nothing and watch while Duanmu Xue and the reputation of the Duanmu family is being destroyed like that? Thinking about it, Yuchi Jin immediately yelled, “What are you here howling for? It’s giving me a headache. Somebody bring her away now!”

In everyone’s eyes, Yuchi Jin was rarely this stern toward the servants in the house. He was always kind when treating them, and he had never looked down on them. But now that he actually said that, it showed that he really was panicking and trying hard to protect the reputation of the Duanmu and Yuchi families.

However, how could Ye Moxuan let him get his wish? Even if he was his own grandfather, some things were necessary to be brought up for discussion because he didn’t like to live a life under someone’s thumb. “Grandfather, what are you nervous about? Let’s hear what she’s got to say first before dragging her away.”

Yuchi Jin took a deep breath as he looked toward Ye Moxuan. When both of their eyes met, Yuchi Jin realized that this was the first time he felt such coldness in his eyes. For a moment, he felt as though Ye Moxuan wasn’t treating him as his grandfather anymore.

Suddenly, the words Yu Bo said to him when coming down the stairs came up in his mind. “After all, Young Master Xuan is still your grandson, whom you’ve searched so hard for. So you shouldn’t hurt his heart… for certain things.” The words rang in his ear as he stared at Ye Moxuan and was suddenly at a loss of words. He always thought that he was doing what was good for his grandson so that he wouldn’t follow his mother’s fate. But why… Why does it always end in the same way? What did I do wrong?

The servant kept on crying and screaming until Ye Moxuan landed his sharp and murderous eyes on her, then she immediately closed her mouth as she was frightened. She looked at her feet and didn’t even dare to make a sound.

Ye Moxuan sneered, “Tell me how you did it last night. I want you to explain it thoroughly.” Even though he was speaking to the servant, his eyes were locked onto Yuchi Jin. They were as sharp as lightning, and they didn’t allow anyone to escape from his gaze.

Hearing his voice, the servant couldn’t help but shiver. After that, her legs melted as she fell to the ground. A while later, she lifted her head and burst into tears. “Young Master Xuan, please forgive me. I was tempted at that time, so that was why I did it.”

If she had known that she would be caught, she would never have done it. The imposing manner of Ye Moxuan struck fear into her heart; just a scan from his eyes was enough to melt her legs. As she thought about how she messed with Ye Moxuan’s tea last night, she felt that her insignificant life was about to end here.

Seeing her being ambiguous with her words, George went up to interrogate her, “Explain it clearly! What did you do last night? What was the process? Who told you to do it? I want you to clear everything up. If you dare to utter even a wrong word, I will—”

“Enough!” Yuchi Jin couldn’t hold back his shout anymore. He was no idiot. After hearing what the servant had to say, how could he not understand the situation? It was just that he couldn’t dare to believe that Duanmu Xue would do such a thing. If she actually said it out…

“Grandfather, are you feeling distress for Duanmu Xue?” Ye Moxuan quirked up a cold smile with his lips. “What about me?”

What about me? The question hit hard on Yuchi Jin’s heart all of a sudden. His pupils shrank, and he looked at Ye Moxuan without saying a word. “Am I your real grandson?”

Yuchi Jin replied, “Of course you are. Is there even a doubt?”

“Then why are you helping an outsider instead when your grandson was wronged?” Ye Moxuan locked his sharp and deep eyes on him.

Seeing his eyes, Yuchi Jin knew that if he didn’t let him finish it, he was going to be disappointed with this grandfather of his.

When Ye Moxuan saw that Yuchi Jin had stopped resisting, he quirked up his lips and sneered, “Continue.”

Then, George pointed at the servant. “Didn’t you hear him? Tell us now. If you weren’t a woman, I would have definitely hit you right now. Do you want to taste the fury of my fist?”

Maybe it was because of George’s threat, the servant shivered with fright and blurted out immediately, “I’ll talk; I’ll tell you everything! I-It was Miss Duanmu who told me to do it!” After that, she looked as though she was about to collapse, and her eyes turned red as her voice shivered. “Last night, I was serving tea to Old Master and Young Master Xuan as usual. Then, Miss Duanmu suddenly showed up and gave me a pack of drugs. She said that if I poured this into Young Master Xuan’s cup, she would give me a huge sum of money so that me and my family could live a carefree life. I was worried about being caught, but she said that the drug was tasteless, so no one would find out about it. She even said that if I accomplished my task, she would immediately send someone over to bring me away. By that time… no one would ever find me.”

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Xue got injured, and the plan didn’t work, so the person who was supposed to arrange the servant’s departure got delayed. At such a crucial time, she was caught soon after.

“I have already spilled everything out. Old Master and Young Master Xuan, I know my mistake now. I did it because I was tempted at that time. Can you please consider the years that I have served in the Yuchi residence and let me go this one time?”

Yuchi Jin closed his eyes out of exhaustion and let out a huge sigh.
