Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 931
Ye Moxuan sat there motionlessly. Despite knowing that Little Bean did on purpose in front of Han Muzi, he was still undoubtedly powerless when he faced his son’s whining.
“Daddy, can you do that? Daddy~” Although Little Bean was a boy, his whining differed little from that of a girl.
Ye Moxuan frowned his brows slightly before pressing the little brat’s neck the next second. “How old are you now? Do you still need me to carry you back?” he murmured.
“I’m just a kid after all.” Little Bean blinked. His face was kind and innocent, which made him look especially harmless.
Ye Moxuan twitched his lips. This little brat really thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he is my son?
As for Han Muzi, she was desperate for Little Bean and Ye Moxuan to bury the hatchet for each other. Therefore, she felt that Little Bean was overly compassionate when he asked Ye Moxuan for such a request. That was why before Ye Moxuan agreed to it, Han Muzi opened her mouth first. “In that case, you two quickly return to your room after both of you have finished your water. Little Bean, let your daddy carry you back.”
Little Bean grinned from ear to ear. “Alright, Mommy.”
Ye Moxuan was silenced. He looked at Little Bean for a moment before accepting his fate. Forget it. Besides, there will be time in the future and it doesn’t make a difference if nothing happens tonight. When I get my chance, I’ll straighten things out clearly then.
Right at this moment, footsteps were heard and it came from the living room. Soon after, the three of them heard Xiao Su’s voice. “Eh? Why are the kitchen lights switched on?” Xiao Su also woke up to drink water. Just as he was about to enter the kitchen, he saw that the lights were switched on, so he headed over there.
At this moment, Ye Moxuan seized Little Bean right away and tucked him in his arms. After that, he walked straight toward the exit while Little Bean screamed in his arms, “Ah! Bad daddy, let me down now!”
Ye Moxuan lowered his eyes. “Didn’t you want me to carry you back to your room? I’m carrying you back now.”
“Evil daddy, how is this even called carrying me? Mommy, Daddy is bullying me!” Little Bean shouted.
Han Muzi furrowed her brows as she glanced at Ye Moxuan. “He is still a kid. You should be a bit more gentle.”
Ye Moxuan was silent for a second before answering her, “Alright.” Then, he adjusted Little Bean’s position in his arms before he carried the child out of the kitchen without giving him a chance to complain. Coincidentally, he met Xiao Su who was coming into the kitchen.
Xiao Su was startled when he saw Ye Moxuan holding Little Bean in his hand. “Young Master Ye, what’s going on?” he asked a second later.
“We were thistry in the middle of the night, so we came down to get some water. They just finished drinking their water and were about to go back to their room. What about you, Xiao Su?” Han Muzi probably felt guilty over what she did with Ye Moxuan in the kitchen, hence she immediately answered Xiao Su without waiting for Ye Moxuan’s response. Afterward, she smiled at Little Bean and Ye Moxuan. “Alright. It is much colder now. You should quickly head back to your room and sleep. I’m also going back now.”
“I…” Xiao Su rubbed his head. “I also got up to drink some water.”
For some reason, everyone was exceptionally thirsty tonight. Is it because the heater in the house is switched on at a higher temperature? Or is it because I didn’t drink a sip of water when I rushed over here? The latter is more believable, Xiao Su thought.
“Mr. Xiao, you also want some water? We’ve just finished ours.”
“What a coincidence…”
Han Muzi hurried out of the kitchen and walked toward her room while Ye Moxuan left with Little Bean in his arms. Soon after, Xiao Su was the only one left.
Xiao Su stood there alone by the brightly lit kitchen door with a dumb expression. Later on, he lowered his head and entered the kitchen, deep in his thoughts. Young Master Ye’s whole family really is systematic. They are actually thirsty at the same time.
As soon as Han Muzi went back to her room, she carefully closed the door. When she turned around, she saw a black figure in front of her, which scared her.
“What are you doing in the middle of the night?” Yan’s voice came from the front.
Under the dim moonlight from the window, Han Muzi saw that Yan had wrapped a blanket around her due to the cold.
“I went out for a glass of water.”
Yan remained silent before saying to her, “I’m thirsty too.”
Suddenly, Han Muzi was confused. What’s the matter? Why is everyone thirsty at the same time? Could it really be due to Yan’s cooking? Is that why everyone is thirsty at the same time?
“Well, is there any hot water in the kitchen?”
“Yup.” Han Muzi nodded. After that, Yan still had the blanket wrapped around her as she walked past Han Muzi and opened the door. Yan was probably still sleepy because she waited a while before opening the door and she left it open afterward.
Just like that, Han Muzi saw her wobbling out the door in her blanket.
Initially, Han Muzi wanted to tell Yan that Xiao Su was now in the kitchen, but as she thought about it, there wasn’t any point in reminding her. Yan doesn’t have any grudge with Xiao Su anyway. As the thought came to mind, Han Muzi closed the door before squirming into her warm blanket. Her heart became peaceful a while after she lay down on the bed. Scenes of Ye Moxuan hugging Little Bean flashed through her mind as she hoped that the two of them could get along well. This time, Han Muzi quickly fell asleep.
On the other hand, after Ye Moxuan carried the little brat back to his room, he placed him on the bed and coldly said, “Did you do that on purpose?”
When Little Bean first sat on the bed, he immediately crawled into his blanket. Then, he looked at Ye Moxuan with his pair of innocent eyes. “Daddy, what are you talking about?”
Ye Moxuan stared at the face that was identical to his, but at this moment, the innocence and naivety on his face made it seem as though he was actually the bad person. Afterward, he squinted his eyes and leaned over to pinch Little Bean’s cheek. “Don’t pretend to be stupid. I can see that your thinking is much older than someone of your age.” Even though both of them had just met and they hadn’t interacted with each other for a long time, how could Ye Moxuan not observe that this little brat was no ordinary kid?
Ye Moxuan didn’t know why Little Bean had such a mature mind, but… it probably had to do with his experience. Didn’t I wrong them back then? Otherwise, Little Bean wouldn’t treat me like this. On the surface, he says that he doesn’t dislike me and he wants to be close to me, but after interacting with him, I can deeply feel the slight refusal in him.
Little Bean blinked as he and Ye Moxuan looked at each other for a while. Minutes later, the innocence in the child’s eyes faded, then he opened his mouth. “You are bad to Mommy.” His mommy wasn’t here anyway, so it was not necessary for him to pretend. He couldn’t care less whether the daddy in front of him knew of his true identity or not. No matter what Little Bean said, he knew that his mommy always believed him, therefore, if his daddy wanted to win his mommy’s favor, Ye Moxuan must first make him happy.
Hearing him, Ye Moxuan frowned. “I’m bad to her? You mean… like before?” After all, he had completely forgotten what had happened in the past.
“Yes!” Little Bean nodded continuously as he made a fist in midair with his tiny hand. “Back then, you were a terribly bad person, Daddy. Mommy suffered a lot because of you!”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 932
She suffered a lot? When the words reached Ye Moxuan’s ears, it felt like a needle stabbing his heart.
“Mommy cried a lot back then and it’s all because of you, Daddy,” Little Bean said to him again. At this moment, he wanted to fight for his mommy’s justice. He felt that Ye Moxuan should experience the pain that his mommy suffered so that Ye Moxuan knew how difficult it was for his mommy.
Ye Moxuan was startled when Little Bean continued, “Daddy, you also said a lot of horrible things to Mommy at that time. Not only did you interrogate mommy, you also described me as a bastard!”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless as he suddenly felt like a mess. Was I… such a horrible person before?
Seeing his thoughtful looks and lowered eyes, Little Bean knew that his words hit hard on Ye Moxuan’s heart, but he had no regrets since he wanted his daddy to know how terrible he was before!
“So Daddy, do you think you’re a bad guy now?” his tender voice spoke again. Then, Ye Moxuan lifted his eyes and his complicated gaze fell on Little Bean’s face while he pressed his lips as if he wanted to say something.
“Daddy, are you trying to defend yourself?” Little Bean stared at him curiously. His face clearly indicated that he would be particularly disappointed if Ye Moxuan tried to defend himself even with a word.
However, Ye Moxuan said nothing. After a moment of silence, he went up to Little Bean and uttered, “If I really am the bad person that you say I was before, then… I will repent.”
“Repent?” Little Bean tilted his head. “How do you want to repent?”
Ye Moxuan darkened his eyes. “How do you want me repent?”
Little Bean made a sound before replying, “I haven’t thought about that.”
Ye Moxuan wasn’t in a hurry, so he said to him faintly, “Alright. Then tell me when you have thought about it. It’s late now. Do you want to sleep?”
Little Bean was surprised by Ye Moxuan’s friendliness toward him, but he felt a bit empty inside like a ball of cotton being punched by a person. At first, Little Bean wanted Ye Moxuan to feel pain and regret so that he felt Han Muzi’s feelings back then, but by the looks of Ye Moxuan, he was not in pain at all. This is such a buzz kill!
Afterward, Little Bean rolled his body and ignored Ye Moxuan as he slept with his back facing Ye Moxuan. Ye Moxuan reached out to switch off the desk lamp on the bedside table, which plunged the whole room into darkness. The father and son slept on the same bed, but their minds were at different places.
Ye Moxuan initially had no idea what Little Bean thought, but now, he did not have the mood to give much thought to it since Little Bean’s words had already dug deep into his heart. In the darkness of the room, his eyes continued to stare outside the window while Little Bean’s words rang in his ear over and over again. Was I… really that horrible before?
Suddenly, Ye Moxuan thought of the first time he met Han Muzi. At that time, she approached him with a teary face, but he saw her as some random woman who was trying to hit on him instead, so he was a bit harsh toward her. When Little Bean mentioned that he had said lots of terrible things to hurt Han Muzi, Ye Moxuan couldn’t deny it. He really was… cruel to women. Just like how he had treated Han Muzi from the beginning and that was why she had been kidnapped.
When Han Muzi appeared in front of Ye Moxuan for the second time, she lacked the courage to even acknowledge him. She even said that she mistook him for someone else while feeling aggrieved so that she could work alongside him. Even though he wasn’t a woman, he felt his heart tearing apart when he put himself in her position at that time. Back then, what feelings did she have when she was approaching me? How did she continue with her life alone and helpless while not knowing what the future holds?
As it came to Ye Moxuan’s mind, he closed his eyes while waves of pain soared up from his heart. I must search for my memory myself, he thought.
In the kitchen.
Yan wobbled around in her blanket until she finally arrived at the kitchen. The kitchen was in complete darkness, so without thinking much, she reached out to the wall and found the switch a while later. With just a click, she switched on the lights.
“Ah!” Just as the lights were turned on, Yan was taken aback and almost jumped out of her skin. She then widened her eyes and stared bewilderedly at the figure sitting in the kitchen.
Xiao Su gradually stood up and looked at her awkwardly.
“Xiao Su?” After she saw who the figure was, she instantly got mad and shouted at him, “Are you crazy? What are you doing in the kitchen in the middle of night instead of sleeping?”
As he was dumbfounded after being yelled at, he pressed his lips and explained, “I was a bit thirsty, so I came for a glass of water.”
Even when he explained to her, Yan still wouldn’t let him off the hook and she continued to scold him, “Why do you need to switch off the lights when you’re drinking water? Other than that, you are silently sitting here. Who are you trying to scare?”
Xiao Su remained silent as he rubbed his nose, not knowing how to explain to her. When he came to the kitchen, he happened to meet Young Master Ye and Lady of the house. After they returned to their rooms, Xiao Su felt that the lights were a bit bright for him since he had been in a dark room for a while. The others had already gone back to their rooms anyway, so he simply turned off the lights. What he hadn’t expected was someone else coming to the kitchen afterward. He had good vision and he was also used to being in the dark. When he saw someone in a blanket coming over and trying to search for the switch, he tried to open his mouth to ask if he could help, but before that could happen, the lights were switched on. What came next was Yan’s scream. Due to her shock, her face had turned pale while her hair was messy. It was obvious that it wasn’t a mild scare and he happened to be the cause of it.
“I’m sorry. I…”
“Go away!” Yan walked to him angrily before pushing away his shoulder and poured a glass of water herself. She was very thirsty. Hence, after pouring a glass of water, she immediately directed the glass to her mouth with rage. Before the glass touched her lips, Xiao Su reached out and grabbed her wrist.
“The water is too cold. It won’t be good for your body.” After that, Xiao Su took the opportunity to take the glass from her hand while she was stunned and added some hot water into it. Then, he handed it back to her. “Now you can drink it.”
At the end, Yan never received the glass of water from his hand. Xiao Su lifted his eyes and realized that she stared at him without saying a word. Her eyes were sharp as though they could see through a person’s heart.
He felt that his heartbeat was missing a beat, so he placed the glass back on the table in panic before nervously licking his lips. “Just see this as my token of apology. Quickly drink it and return to your room.”
Meanwhile, Yan had not uttered a single word as she stared at that glass of water, then she looked toward Xiao Su’s nervousness and panicked expression, which she found familiar. He looks exactly like… me when I’m in front of Han Qing. Could it be…
An idea flashed through her mind. A second later, the words slipped out of her mouth as she asked, “Do you like me?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 933
Do you like me? Such a simple sentence with a few words was enough to stop Xiao Su in his tracks. He stood there dumbfounded as disbelief danced in his eyes. For a moment, he even thought that he was hearing voices. Otherwise, why would he have heard Yan asking him whether he liked her or not? No matter how hard he thought about it, she wasn’t the kind of person who would ask him such a question, but he heard it from her.
“That…” Xiao Su felt that his face burned while there was panic in his eyes and tone. “It isn’t what you think it is. Maybe you might have misunderstood something?”
“I’ve misunderstood something?” Yan blinked her eyes and she glanced at the glass of water in front of her.
Xiao Su remained quiet. Pouring water for her doesn’t mean anything, right? I really do like her, but I’ve never caught her attention before. And now that I have a huge scar on my face, she definitely won’t like me. Then again, my scar will only scare everyone including Yan away.
“Alright.” Yan shrugged her shoulders and acted differently. “It seems as though I’ve misunderstood the situation. You should go back to sleep.”
He initially thought that she was going to argue with him, but surprisingly, she admitted that she misunderstood—just like that. Then, she picked up the glass of water to drink. For some reason, Xiao Su felt upset in his heart while he stared at Yan’s indifferent face. He suddenly wanted to tell her that she didn’t misunderstand the situation and that he really liked her. However, when he thought of his facial scar, the idea faded away completely in seconds. He tightened both of his fists beside him before loosening it a while later and tightening it back again. In the end, he pressed his thin lips as he walked out of the kitchen silently.
After Yan finished drinking her water, she saw Xiao Su quietly leaving the kitchen. As she watched him, she couldn’t help but frown her eyebrows. What have I misunderstood? Why do I feel that there was something wrong with Xiao Su’s mood earlier? Could it be that he is just rendered speechless by my question? She hadn’t meant to ask him, but the question slipped out of her mouth when she noticed that the way he had looked at her then was similar to the way she looked at Han Qing. Thinking about it now, she actually felt that her question was inappropriate. It doesn’t matter if he likes me or not; he would still be embarrassed by my question and it will be awkward between us from now on when we meet.
With that thought in mind, Yan shook her head vigorously before she finished the last drop of water in the glass. Afterward, she grabbed hold of her blanket and returned to her room. After crawling back to sleep, Yan hadn’t noticed that she had received ten or more calls as her phone was on silent mode. She had a good night’s sleep.
Han Muzi felt that she slept for a long time and a lot had happened in her dream. When she woke up feeling dizzy, there were still fragments of her dream left in her mind. However, when she opened her eyes, her dream was slowly engulfed by reality—bit by bit. As she rolled her body to stare at the sunlight outside the window, she had completely forgotten about her dream. After lying there for a while, she realized that she was the only person in the room and Yan was gone. She got down from the bed and walked out the door.
The house was quiet as there wasn’t anyone to be seen. Then, Han Muzi tried to call out for them. “Yan? Little Bean?”
Nobody responded to her. Han Muzi went over to Ye Moxuan’s room and she found out that nobody was inside there either after she pushed open the door. She stood bare-footed on the ground as her mind stared blankly at the empty room. Could it be that what happened last night was just a dream and Little Bean isn’t even here? But why does it feel so real to me as if it really happened? Just when she became confused, she heard a voice behind her. “Muzi?”
This is… Han Muzi quickly turned around and saw a well-dressed Yan standing behind her while wearing an apron. Yan even carried a plate of delicious food on her hand.
“What are you doing standing here like an idiot? And why aren’t you wearing shoes? Do you remember that you’re a pregnant woman? Did your sleep make you stupid? Or is it the pregnancy that’s making you lose your intelligence?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. “What nonsense are you talking about?” She was still composed when she returned to her room and wore a pair of slippers. Seeing that Yan already placed everything on the table, she sat there. “What time is it? Why isn’t there anyone here?”
Listening to her, Yan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Am I not a person? Muzi, you really are ungrateful. I also followed them all the way here to see you and I even acted as Little Bean’s bodyguard for the whole journey, but you don’t even care about me.”
Han Muzi couldn’t hold back her smile. “Don’t you want to be Little Bean’s aunt?” Yan was startled at this question. “So future aunt, what do you want from me?”
Yan was speechless after just one sentence while she tilted her head and thought, If I actually become Little Bean’s future aunt, then there really isn’t much that I can ask for.
As Yan thought about it, she pouted. “Fine. Don’t you want to know where your two men have gone to? They went out early in the morning, leaving just me and you in the house.”
“They went out early in the morning?”
What could they be doing early in the morning? Han Muzi was confused, but before she could say something, Yan had already pushed the plate of food in front of Han Muzi. “Alright. You’re a pregnant woman, so stop asking questions and start eating your food or else the baby inside you will be hungry.”
It was better if Han Muzi didn’t speak about it because she suddenly felt hungry after Yan said those words. Han Muzi didn’t say anything else afterward as she tried to fill her stomach.
Seeing that she was willing to eat in peace, Yan let out a sigh of relief. “I was afraid that you would be hungry. As a pregnant woman, you have been living abroad alone for such a long time. Your brother is really worried about you.”
As she mentioned Han Qing, Han Muzi’s face twitched and she asked another question, “Now that you’ve mentioned my brother, did he agree to let you and Little Bean fly over?”
Yan’s face changed drastically and she couldn’t say a word after that.
Looking at the change in Yan’s facial expression, Han Muzi ate slower on purpose and twitched her lips. “Did you guys … come here without informing him?”
After a moment of silence, Yan immediately pleaded to Han Muzi with a pitiful face. “Muzi. My beloved Muzi, I didn’t mean to hide it from your brother, but if I told him, he definitely wouldn’t allow Little Bean and I to look for you. About this… I have already discussed it with Little Bean and Xiao Su also wanted to come at that time, so we didn’t need to worry much.”
Han Muzi nodded as she tried to digest her words. “So, you went abroad with another man without telling my brother?”
Yan was rendered speechless. “What do you mean by ‘another man’? Xiao Su is Young Master Ye’s assistant. What does that have to do with me?”
Han Muzi continued to smile without saying anything.
Yan started to become nervous. “Y-You can’t say such nonsense in front of your brother. I only like your brother. You should know that after such a long time.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 934
She knew. Of course she knew about it. Even though it wasn’t love at first sight, it was still love. Before Yan confessed to Han Qing, she already had a crush on him for such a long time that it became a secret love, but she eventually summoned the courage to come clean. It was probably because no one else had appeared beside Han Qing and she hadn’t met anyone who moved her feelings more than him. Therefore, under the pressures of her youth and time wasting away, she gained the courage to confess her love to him.
There wasn’t any wrong for her to chase after her love and happiness. Besides, Yan was also Han Muzi’s best friend, so she trusted Yan’s character. Han Muzi also hoped that Yan’s fiery passion could add a bit of life for her lonely brother. Otherwise, he would just be moody every day. To be honest, from Han Muzi’s recent interaction with Han Qing, she felt that he was quickly becoming a cold-hearted person except when he was pampering his little sister.
That was why Han Muzi hoped more than anyone else for Han Qing to find the right partner. It would be unfair for him to waste the rest of his life being dedicated to her. Even if Han Qing didn’t see it as unfair, Han Muzi still felt the guilt.
“Oh no, I didn’t realize it before you mentioned it. I think my phone was switched off. By this time, your brother definitely knows that Little Bean and I are gone. I don’t know if he has called my phone.” After that, Yan immediately got up from the chair and dashed to her room. When she entered the room and found her phone, she noticed that it was turned off when she tried to press the button, so she could only restart it. As soon as it was switched on, she saw that there wasn’t enough battery left and that she received lots of calls and texts that she hadn’t answered. Hence, Yan bent over her waist to search for a phone charger before she squatted there to scroll on her phone.
She received a lot of calls, which she didn’t answer. Except for a few calls from the company’s staff and clients, all the others were from the cold-faced Han Qing. Then, Yan took a look at his texts. Han Qing’s texts were simple.
‘Is Little Bean with you?’
‘Where are the two of you?’
These were the only two messages that he sent and he didn’t send anything else afterward. Yan didn’t know whether Han Qing would have hated her by now or not. At first, she planned to text him when she arrived here so that he had no choice but to accept the fact. However, after so many things had happened, she actually threw her plan to the back of her mind.
As Yan thought of it, she reached out to hit her head hard. “Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! You really are stupid! He is your dream man, yet you threw him to the back of your mind. A minute of repentance starts now!”
A minute later, she replied to Han Qing’s texts with trembling hands. However, after she sent her texts, she never received a reply from him. She nervously held on to her phone for a few minutes as there was no news from Han Qing. Could it be that he is exasperated? Or is it because he is working and hasn’t seen the messages? Then, Yan calculated the time at Han Qing’s place. There was a 7 hour gap between the two countries. If it was almost noon at her place, then it should be midnight in China. At this time, Han Qing should be asleep, so it made sense for him not to reply to her. As it came to her mind, Yan let out a sigh of relief. Han Qing will see my text when he wakes up. Therefore, she left her phone in the room for it to charge before walking out.
When Yan returned to the dining table, Han Muzi noticed the distress in Yan’s facial expression; her face had turned pale. She casually ate the food prepared by Yan while talking to her, “How is it?”
“Your brother made a few calls to me…”
Listening to her, Han Muzi couldn’t hold back her smile. “Isn’t that good? It means that my brother is taking the initiative.”
Immediately, Yan lifted her head and widened her eyes after hearing Han Muzi’s words. “I wish! He only took the initiative to call me because Little Bean is with me. If not for Little Bean, he would never have called me.”
Han Qing never liked Yan and he even rejected her firmly and cruelly, but her heart never changed as a result. After all, her crush for him was not developed in just a day. She had fancied Han Qing for so long that it made it hard for her to change her mind.
After seeing Yan’s mood going down, Han Muzi felt that the food inside her mouth became tasteless, so she only comforted her, “Don’t think too much about it. Even though he is only concerned about Little Bean, it is still a chance for you. Don’t you want chances like this?”
“Yes!” Yan lifted her head. “Of course I want it. You’re right. These are all chances for me. It doesn’t matter if he’s actually thinking of Little Bean. I will just cling on to Little Bean so that he will remember me everyday!” As Yan finished, she regained her old combative spirit.
Han Muzi hadn’t said much afterward as she continued eating with her head lowered.
The doorbell rang at this moment. Yan had a look at Han Muzi before telling her, “Keep eating. I’ll go get the door.” After that, she got up and went outside.
Han Muzi cared little about it, so she just sat there eating while Yan answered the door. However, Yan quickly ran back not long after. “Muzi! Muzi!”
As soon as Han Muzi heard her, she lifted her head to see Yan running toward her alarmingly and asked out of curiosity, “What is it?” Just as she finished her words, Han Muzi saw the two figures behind Yan. She was startled to see Yuchi Jin and Yu Bo.
Yan ran to her side while giving her a look, then she whispered, “Young Master Ye’s grandfather is here. Will he trouble you? Do I need to ask Young Master Ye to return?”
Han Muzi smiled slightly and refused Yan’s kind proposal as she shook her head. “No need for that. You can go back to your room if you’re afraid. I’ll be fine hosting them.”
Immediately, Yan shook her head and murmured, “No! How can I leave you in a time like this? That’s not what best friends do!” As she was done speaking, she tightened her hands around Han Muzi’s arm right away.
Han Muzi felt a headache as she was helpless toward Yan. She actually hoped that Yan would agree to her request and go straight back into her room.
“Grandfather. Mr. Yu.” When they got close, Han Muzi greeted them.
The moment Yuchi Jin heard Han Muzi calling him ‘grandfather’, he immediately roared like a lion, “Grandfather?! Who is your grandfather?”
Yan remained silent while standing aside. Young Master Ye’s grandfather is a really fierce person. Muzi must have suffered a lot from him before.
After Yuchi Jin was done being blunt, he saw that Yan scrunched her nose while looking at him. Then, he let out a soft cough before grunting coldly, “If you want to be my granddaughter-in-law, then I will have to look at your performance afterward.” Yuchi Jin did not want to bring disgrace to the family. Even though he had no idea who the little girl was to Han Muzi, if he made Yan feel that he was a bad grandfather, then it would be bad for his reputation.
On the other hand, Han Muzi smiled since she did not mind his behavior. “Grandfather, Yu Bo, why are you here today?”
“What now? Is this house yours? Why can’t I come over?”
Yu Bo smiled brightly and replied, “Old Master wants to see his great-grandson.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 935
At first, Yuchi Jin hadn’t planned on saying it, but he was caught off guard when Yu Bo expressed his thoughts in just that sentence. For a moment, Yuchi Jin felt that he couldn’t hold on to his reputation, so he sternly scolded, “Yu Bo!”
Yet, Yu Bo wasn’t afraid of him at all as he continued smiling. “Old Master has thin skin, so I’ll speak on behalf.”
“Yu Bo! What nonsense are you talking about?” Yuchi Jin was so angry that his old face turned red. He then explained frustratingly, “What are you talking about now? You were the one who told me to come here.”
“Yes. Yes. Yes.” Yu Bo nodded. “It was me who asked Old Master to come over, that’s right.”
Ever since Yuchi Jin woke up this morning, his mind drifted away while he continued to ask Yu Bo whether what had happened last night was real. Why does he always think that it wasn’t real? Yu Bo understood Yuchi Jin’s feelings of shock after discovering suddenly that he had a great-grandson. Yuchi Jin had been alone for a long time, so the feeling of having a family and a great-grandson brought a sense of surprise and happiness to him that no ordinary person could understand.
Although Yu Bo assured Yuchi Jin many times that it was real, Yuchi Jin found it hard to believe it. That was why Yu Bo suggested that Yuchi Jin come here by himself to make sure of it. However, he hadn’t expected to be sold out by Yuchi Jin when they arrived. How can I admit that I wanted to come? Won’t I become a joke to Han Muzi? Besides, if Yuchi Jin accepted her now after all the things that he did to her before, it felt as if he gave himself a slap in the face.
On the other hand, Han Muzi had not minded Yuchi Jin’s attitude. For her, his attitude toward her now was considered quite good. At least it wasn’t the same as the first time when they met. At that time, Yuchi Jin straight away asked Yu Bo to give her a check so that she could leave.
Although Yuchi Jin said that he never wanted to acknowledge her on the surface, Han Muzi felt his feelings and expectation to see Little Bean dancing in his eyes. Thinking about it, her mood improved as she explained with a faint smile, “Then you came at the wrong time. Little Bean and Moxuan went out, so they aren’t at home now.”
Yuchi Jin’s face darkened immediately after he heard her. He came to see Little Bean, but unexpectedly, he wasn’t here. For a moment, Yuchi Jin felt especially disappointed. Yu Bo asked, “What did they go out for?”
Han Muzi realized that they were gone after she woke up, so naturally, she had no idea what they did outside. Therefore, right after Yu Bo asked the question, she then turned her eyes toward Yan, who stood beside her. Following her sight, everyone in the house turned their attention on Yan’s face.
Yan suddenly felt everyone’s hopes on her, which made her a bit nervous. Then, she took a deep breath and explained, “About that… When Young Master Ye was going out, I didn’t dare to ask him why. Anyway, it was inappropriate for me to ask him about it.” After that, Yan’s lips still twitched.
A trace of disappointment flashed through Yuchi Jin and Yu Bo’s eyes. Yuchi Jin grunted coldly the next second, “Since my great-grandson isn’t here, then let’s go back!” As he was done, he turned away and walked outside. Yu Bo only gave Han Muzi a smile as compensation. “I’m sorry, Young Lady Ye. I’ll follow Old Master and leave now.”
Han Muzi smiled as she nodded. “Alright. Stay safe on the road.”
Yuchi Jin, who walked in front, suddenly stopped in his steps after he heard her. Then, he turned his head toward Han Muzi while his blurry eyes were filled with anger. Naturally, Han Muzi felt his expressions, so she curiously looked at him. Did I just say something wrong?
However, Yuchi Jin never gave her answers as he turned away and left angrily. Soon after, the door was closed with a bang.
Han Muzi turned her head toward Yan and bit her lower lip. “Why do I feel that the door was slammed shut with rage?”
Yan remained quiet at first before telling her, “You’re not the only one. From the look that he gave you, it was already terrifying enough.” At this point, Yan couldn’t help but shrink her neck and said to her in a terrified face, “Is it because he’s blaming you for Little Bean not being at home?”
“He wouldn’t…”
However, the old man really had a strong tsundere trait, so Han Muzi lacked the courage to simply say anything that she liked. She was afraid of asking him to stay when he wanted to leave because she was scared of accidentally triggering this grandfather of her, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Outside the door, Yuchi Jin went into the elevator in a bad mood. He was so furious, but Yu Bo remained quiet. A while later, Yuchi Jin finally couldn’t help but call him. Yu Bo seemed as though he just regained his senses when he nodded. “What is it, Old Master?”
His five words almost blew Yuchi Jin’s beard away out of anger. “Weren’t you looking? Even after calling me her ‘grandfather’, she still wouldn’t put in a few good words!”
“About this…” Yu Bo’s face showed his realization. “Old Master, you always seem uncertain in front of Young Lady Ye. If I was her, I definitely wouldn’t dare to simply say anything too.”
Yuchi Jin was rendered speechless.
“What do you think, Old Master?” Yu Bo asked.
Yuchi Jin squinted his eyes and asked with displeasure. “Are you saying that I should treat that girl better?”
Yu Bo rubbed his nose and smiled. “I think you can.” Listening to him, Yuchi Ji raised his brows as though he was about to burst into flames, so Yu Bo quickly added, “Excluding Little Young Master, Young Lady Ye is now pregnant for almost a few months. Old Master, are you sure you’re not going to allow them to be together?”
Yuchi Jin was rendered speechless. The way Yu Bo described it stopped Yuchi Jin from saying anything else. Then, Yu Bo followed up on his words, “Since you don’t oppose it, then you and Young Lady Ye will be a family in the future. If the relationship between family members is bad, then it will affect others too. However, if the family is harmonious, then Young Lady Ye, Young Master Ye and their two kids will be filial toward you together. You will have a big family and every festive holiday, you will have someone to accompany you.”
Yu Bo really knew how to talk because his words seemed as though they came out straight from Yuchi Jin’s heart. Yuchi Jin’s eyes became more complicated as he looked at Yu Bo, but his facial expression hadn’t changed at all. It was unknown as to whether Yuchi Jin had agreed to Yu Bo’s words.
Yu Bo carefully glanced at Yuchi Jin before gritting his teeth and added more oil to the fire. “I’ve heard Miss An saying that Young Lady Ye has showed signs of miscarriage. When our men tied her up the last time, the plan was intercepted by Miss Xue and Han Muzi almost fell down the stairs.”
At this point, Yuchi Jin started to fluster.
That will do, Yu Bo thought to himself. Then, he continued, “I’ve heard that a pregnant woman needs to remain calm so that the baby can grow healthily. Since Young Lady Ye already has signs of miscarriage, Old Master, if you still treat her with a bad attitude, she’ll hide in a corner alone and feel down-hearted. Wouldn’t that be cruel to the child in her belly?”
After he was done with his kind advice, Yuchi Jin couldn’t help but pout. “Alright. Enough. I get it now.” But, if I treat the girl better, isn’t it the same as slapping my face?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 936
As the time quietly slipped away, it wasn’t long before it was past noon yet Ye Moxuan, Little Bean and Xiao Su still hadn’t returned home. Han Muzi was a bit worried, so she made a call to Ye Moxuan to ask him where they had been. The phone rang for a while before it was answered. What came after was a childish voice from the phone. “Mommy!”
Little Bean’s voice came through the phone and it immediately lodged itself into Han Muzi’s heart. His infectious voice quickly put a smile on her face. “Little Bean.”
“Mommy,” he called her one more time before asking her quickly, “Mommy, you’re really bad. You have my phone number, but why did you choose to call Daddy? Are you biased, Mommy? You like Daddy, and you don’t like me, right?”
Listening to his words, a trace of helplessness flashed through her beautiful eyes as she pinched her forehead. “Silly child, how could I be biased?” she asked gently. Little Bean and Ye Moxuan were the two most important men in her life and it would never be in a particular order.
Of course, if the child she carried was another boy, then there would be one more important man in her life. However, Han Muzi personally hoped more that this child would now be a girl. If the child was really a girl, she and Ye Moxuan would have the full package. A family of four. Just the thought of it brought her warmth.
“Mommy, you’re lying! You said that you’re not biased, but you didn’t call me!” Little Bean still complained about her on the phone.
“Alright. Don’t be mad. I will call you next time, alright?”
“No! Mommy, you can only call me from now on!”
He was just a kid, so Han Muzi agreed to his request. “Alright. I promise you.”
Soon after, Han Muzi’s promise still hadn’t satisfied Little Bean at all as he sat on Ye Moxuan’s lap with the latter’s phone. Then, he suddenly lifted his head to gaze at Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan, who was reading through his documents, had a bad feeling right away. Right when he lowered his head, his gaze happened to meet that of Little Bean’s spotless eyes. Then, he heard Little Bean open his mouth. “Mommy, do you love Daddy more or me?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with dangerous intent as he looked toward Little Bean. He even squinted them while his sharp eyes stared right through Little Bean.
On the other hand, Little Bean was not afraid at all. He joyfully turned on the phone’s loudspeaker so that Ye Moxuan could hear Han Muzi’s every word clearly.
After being asked, Han Muzi casually replied, “Of course I love you more.” She hadn’t given it much thought since he was just a child and his emotions always changed, so it was fine for her to coax him. Besides, Ye Moxuan was Little Bean’s daddy, therefore, he shouldn’t mind her saying that. As a father, he must take on the responsibility!
“Mommy, are you being honest?”
“Yes.” For some reason, Han Muzi had a cold feeling down her back after she said that. She shrank her shoulders instinctively as she felt that something was odd. What’s wrong with me?
…
Inside the President’s office of Yuchi Group.
After Han Muzi’s words—‘of course I love you more’—reached Ye Moxuan’s ears from the phone, the aura around him changed drastically and it became dangerous and gloomy while he stared at Little Bean with his sharp eyes.
Naturally, Xiao Su, who was standing aside, felt the sudden change in atmosphere. After all, he had been beside Young Master Ye for so many years, so it was needless to say he was familiar with his master’s emotions. However, he never expected Young Master Ye to be jealous of his own son. This is too absurd, right? Xiao Su pressed his lips, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
“Thank you, Mommy. I’ll always love you. I’ll end the call now.”
As Han Muzi heard that he was about to end the call, she became anxious. “Wait.”
At the moment, Ye Moxuan’s eyes moved. Is she trying to ask about me? Thinking of it, he quirked up the corners of his lips slightly. After all, the phone number is mine. Her calling my phone number shows that she cares more for me than Little Bean. What she said just now was just to coax the kid. Yes, I shouldn’t mind at all. As he thought about it, his smile grew wider.
“Mommy, what else do you have to say?”
“Have you eaten yet? You’re still young, so you need to eat on time. If you’re hungry, remember to ask your daddy to bring you out for some delicious food, alright? Don’t be picky with your food too. Do you hear me?” At the end, Han Muzi’s tone became a bit stern.
Little Bean nodded quietly. “Okay, Mommy. I’m a good boy; I won’t be picky with my food.”
“That’s my good boy.” Han Muzi was assured after hearing him. According to Ye Moxuan’s previous performance when he first saw Little Bean, Ye Moxuan should be able to take good care of him.
“Mommy, is there anything else?” Little Bean glanced at Ye Moxuan with a smile hanging by his lips. He felt that he needed to give Ye Moxuan a huge blow or else the latter would never learn that his position was nowhere near Little Bean’s.
“Nope. Remember to behave.” As soon as her words came out, the smile on the corner of Ye Moxuan’s lips froze while his eyes were filled with disbelief. Nothing? She called my phone just to care about Little Bean only?! She didn’t even ask about me!
“Alright, Mommy. I’ll end the call now.”
The smile on Ye Moxuan’s face slowly faded away.
“Okay. Goodbye.”
Beep! This time, the smile on Ye’s Moxuan face completely disappeared. Then, Little Bean closed the screen and joyfully handed it over to Ye Moxuan. “Daddy, here’s your phone!”
However, Ye Moxuan refused to take it. Instead, his dark eyes continue to stare at the little brat’s tender face in front of him. As he kept quiet, the air around them seemed to freeze as well. Not too long later, Little Bean shoved his phone straight into his arms. “Daddy, did you hear it just now? Mommy said that she loves me more!”
Ye Moxuan clearly knew that the little brat was playing his tricks. The little brat answered Ye Moxuan’s phone on purpose before turning on the loudspeaker in front of him while he asked the question. He even purposely prevented Han Muzi from mentioning Ye Moxuan’s name. Is he trying to agitate me? Or is it revenge? Is it because I didn’t treat Muzi well before, so he’s trying to fight for his mommy? Come to think of it, this is the only explanation that I can think of.
Even though Ye Moxuan knew that he had wronged Han Muzi before, he was determined to make amends. Only thing was… he had lost his memory; it was difficult for him to remember what had happened in the past. Looks like I need to quickly recover my memory.
Nonetheless, he was still upset at the moment. That woman… it’s fine for her to say that she loves Little Bean more than me, but why didn’t she mention about me on the phone? Does she still remember whose mobile phone she rang? As he thought about it, he felt a distress in his chest as if he couldn’t breathe.
“Daddy, are you alright?” Little Bean came over and asked him, without a hint of sincerity in his voice.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 937
Ye Moxuan reached out to catch Little Bean’s approaching head stoically before saying to him coldly, “Go down.”
Little Bean looked at Ye Moxuan innocently. “Why, Daddy? Is it because Mommy loves me more and that has made you mad?”
Ye Moxuan remained silent. Little Bean continued to stab him with his words. “Or is it because Mommy didn’t mention you and that made you sad?”
Ye Moxuan still remained silent. Then, Little Bean pouted. “Daddy, you can’t be this petty! Otherwise, Mommy won’t like you!”
Ye Moxuan was still quiet. Before this, not only was he happy, surprised and joyous when he found out he had a son, but his chest was also filled with different kinds of indescribable emotions. However, after listening to Little Bean’s words, Ye Moxuan suddenly had an urge to slam Little Bean’s head on the desk and rub it. No, I can’t! Ye Moxuan glanced at Little Bean. No matter how annoying Little Bean’s face looked, Ye Moxuan reminded himself that this child was his and Han Muzi’s son. He is my child. I need to hold back.
Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan diverted his eyesight and forcefully suppressed the rage and anger inside him.
After saying so much to agitate Ye Moxuan, Little Bean felt the pleasure inside him when he saw that Ye Moxuan’s facial expressions changed. If bad daddy loses his patience and lays a hand on me, I’ll immediately complain about it to Mommy. Then, Mommy will not want to be with this evil daddy anymore, hmph!
However, when Ye Moxuan glanced over at him, there was only coldness in his eyes but they were also filled with limitless patience at the same time. In the end, he turned away and nothing else happened. Little Bean was confused. Eh, what just happened? Is it because my words weren’t enough to hurt daddy’s feelings? Is this the reason why daddy doesn’t have any reaction? But I clearly saw the rage in his eyes just now, so it definitely shows that he is angry. Why is it gone now? Should I be harsher with him then?
Meanwhile, Xiao Su, who was standing aside, heard the whole conversation between father and son. After hearing it, he changed his previous thought. At first, I felt that Young Master Ye was childish for being jealous of a child, but now, I really pity Young Master Ye. Each and every word from Little Bean must have been piercing Young Master Ye’s heart. But then, I remember that day in the hospital when Little Bean asked me whether I liked Yan. Hang on, I have an idea. If the child could see through my emotions with that smart tiny brain of his, could it be that those words Little Bean said were intentional? I mean, it might be true, considering that he is the son of Young Master Ye and Young Lady Ye. So, how could he not have inherited their good genes? However, for such a small kid, it’s rather shocking that Little Bean’s mind works like this. If I had heard about it without seeing it for myself, I reckon that I wouldn’t believe it.
At the moment, Little Bean was on Ye Moxuan’s lap as he was unwilling to go down and still thought of ways to pierce his daddy’s heart in his mind. After he thought of it, he gave up. I can’t toe over the line this time, but it doesn’t mean that the frequency should be lesser. I can’t let him lower his guard. I need to make him feel guilty so that he will treat Mommy much better!
Even though Ye Moxuan resisted rubbing Little Bean’s head against the desk, he still seized the little brat’s collar and placed him on the floor.
When Little Bean’s feet landed on the floor, he pouted as he complained to Ye Moxuan, “Daddy, you really are petty. I’m going to tell Mommy about this.”
Listening to Little Bean, Ye Moxuan turned and looked at him. “Your mommy is an adult. She can tell who’s right and who’s wrong.”
“But she is my mommy after all.” What Little Bean meant was that even though she was an adult, he was also just a kid. Since Han Muzi was his mother, there was a possibility that she might believe him. “Daddy, do you know this? Most people will assume that kids won’t lie.”
Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes and stared murderously at the little brat in front of his legs without making a sound.
“Mr. Xiao, do you think I’m right?”
Xiao Su tried so hard to blend into the background, but when he was suddenly named, his face stiffened. What should I say after seeing Little Bean rebel against his daddy?
Little Bean watched him while Ye Moxuan also happened to focus his sight on Xiao Su. Immediately, Xiao Su stood straight and showed his righteousness. “You’re right. Most people would assume that kids won’t lie, but it doesn’t apply to kids with a high IQ.” For kids with a high IQ like Little Bean, that might not be the case. Xiao Su didn’t say the last part aloud. If Little Bean wanted to argue with him, he could just say that he was stating facts.
Sure enough, Little Bean immediately became upset when he heard Xiao Su’s words and he walked toward Xiao Su to argue with him. In the same moment, Ye Moxuan squeezed his forehead as he stared at the dense words on the documents. All of a sudden, he couldn’t look at it much longer and closed the laptop before he placed it on top of the pile of papers.
At first, Little Bean suddenly wanted to visit the company, therefore, Ye Moxuan brought him over. When Ye Moxuan entered the office, he wanted to finish reading the documents so that the workload wouldn’t pile up.
Before Little Bean’s words, Ye Moxuan had the mood to peruse the documents, but now? After hearing Han Muzi’s words, his heart couldn’t stomach it. Even if he comforted himself by saying that she was coaxing the kid, the uncomfortable feeling still remained in his heart. How can she say that she loves Little Bean more than me? With that being said, is the love for a son the same as loving a partner?
As he thought about it, he quickly shoved his documents away and locked the cabinet. “Let’s go. We need to return home and celebrate the New Year,” he said coldly.
Listening to Ye Moxuan, Little Bean turned his head to look at him with contempt. “Daddy, I saw a lot of people were still working when we came up to your room. Is it suitable for you to go back home and celebrate the New Year now?”
Ye Moxuan glanced at him. “They’re not even from China.”
Little Bean grunted. “Daddy, you are now slacking off. You’re letting your staff do all the work for you while you do nothing.”
As for the point Little Bean made, Ye Moxuan accepted it wholeheartedly. Then, he walked straight toward Little Bean and scooped him up into his arms.
“Ah! Daddy, can you be more gentle the next time you carry me? You shouldn’t be this rough with me just because I’m a boy!”
Ye Moxuan coldly quirked up the corners of his lips and glanced at him. “We’re going back to ask your mommy who she actually loves more.”
Little Bean listened to him and abruptly widened his eyes. He was surprised to see that his daddy still pondered on this. Then, Little Bean gritted his teeth. “You evil daddy, I won’t allow you to ask Mommy. If you dare to bother Mommy, I won’t want you as my daddy anymore.”
However, when he was done talking, Ye Moxuan already had him pressed under his armpit and went out of the office.
Miss Lin was just about to come over and send some documents when she suddenly saw Ye Moxuan coming out while carrying a kid. Just as she saw the kid’s face, her eyes widened in shock.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 938
Am I seeing things? Miss Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief. Why does that child resemble our President Yuchi Shen? No, no, no, that’s not it. If I am to observe closer, there are still many differences between the two of them. Their facial features might look alike, but the child’s gaze and aura are completely different. Is he our President’s younger twin brother?
However, that thought vanished from Miss Lin’s mind as soon as it appeared. Judging by our President’s age, it’s impossible that he’ll have such a young twin brother. In that case, that must be his son. Everyone assumed that he was single when he first arrived. Who would have guessed that he already has a son? Miss Lin immediately thought of Han Muzi. Isn’t that girl head over heels in love with our President? Besides, she is now in a relationship with him. Is she aware about this?
“Miss Lin, I will be on leave for the next few days. I’m counting on you to handle the company.”
Miss Lin snapped back to reality when she heard Ye Moxuan, so she nodded blankly. However, she couldn’t take her eyes off Little Bean’s face and she blurted out, “President, this child is…”
Before Ye Moxuan could answer her, Little Bean answered Miss Lin in English, “How are you, Miss Pretty? I am Daddy’s son!”
Miss Lin froze in her spot while staring blankly at the exquisite-looking child who was conversing in fluent English with her. What is going on now? How old is this child? Besides, he is Chinese, so why is his English so fluent?
As if Little Bean sensed her confusion, he explained to her softly, “Previously, my mommy lived in C Country, which is why I’ve been speaking English since I was born!”
Ah, I see.
Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su were confused when they first heard him speak English as well. However, his explanation cleared their doubts. C Country? Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes. Where is that? I don’t recall the place at all.
Miss Lin looked at the adorable child in front of her. After that, she gave Ye Moxuan a quizzical look as she thought of Han Muzi again. Should I be a busybody and ask the President? After all, this is not fair to Muzi at all. However, the child is here and he might overhear me if I were to ask the President.
Just when Miss Lin was in a dilemma, Little Bean spoke again, “Miss Pretty, we are going home now. See you around!”
Miss Lin responded swiftly with a smile, “Sure!”
Ye Moxuan nodded at Miss Lin before taking Little Bean away through a special passageway.
Staring at their backs, Miss Lin couldn’t help but do a double take at the child. He is such a good looking and polite child. I wonder what kind of person the child’s mother is. Sigh, I suddenly feel sorry for Han Muzi. However, everyone has their own fate and no one can force such things. After that, Miss Lin turned around to continue with her work.
Ye Moxuan took Little Bean out for a meal. While waiting for the meal, Little Bean suddenly said that he needed to use the washroom. Hence, Xiao Su stood up immediately. “Little Young Master, I will go with you. I was just about to use the bathroom.”
Little Bean nodded without a second thought and Xiao Su took Little Bean’s hand and left with him.
As Ye Moxuan observed Little Bean and Xiao Su heading off, he suddenly focused on Xiao Su’s back view. Previously, when we met, he mentioned that he is my assistant. In that case, it means that he knows me very well and that he is used to following me closely. I suppose he should be trustworthy. Xiao Su… Xiao Su…
He repeated Xiao Su’s name in his mind as he tried to recall Xiao Su’s face. It wasn’t long before there were some fragmented images of Xiao Su replaying in Ye Moxuan’s mind. However, those fragments vanished as swiftly as it arrived, as if it was blown away by the wind. Everything had happened so quickly that Ye Moxuan couldn’t grab onto anything at all. Thus, Ye Moxuan tried hard to recall those fragmented images.
By the time Xiao Su and Little Bean had returned from the washroom, Xiao Su realized that Ye Moxuan looked horrible as Ye Moxuan’s face was pale and his lips had a tinge of green. W-What happened? We were merely gone for a short time to use the washroom. Did something happen in our absence?
However, Xiao Su was unable to directly ask Ye Moxuan since Little Bean was around, so he asked Ye Moxuan tentatively, “Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan looked up at Xiao Su with a shock when he heard Xiao Su’s voice. Their eyes met and Xiao Su saw that Ye Moxuan was worse off than before; in fact, he looked worse than Xiao Su had expected. Xiao Su immediately became distressed and he glanced at Ye Moxuan worryingly.
“Were there many people in the bathroom?” Ye Moxuan asked.
Xiao Su shook his head. “Not many.”
“Okay.” Ye Moxuan stood up to leave the table.
Little Bean hadn’t noticed Ye Moxuan’s pale face and as a result, he wasn’t aware of how Ye Moxuan looked. However, he was able to clearly tell that Xiao Su became anxious soon after Ye Moxuan left, so he immediately asked, “Mr. Xiao, why are you so worried when my daddy is only going to use the bathroom?”
Xiao Su hesitated before answering him, “Really? I don’t think so.” Then, he turned to Little Bean and forced a smile which looked more like a grimace.
Little Bean commented, “Mr. Xiao, stop smiling. You look extremely ugly.”
There was a scar across Xiao Su’s face, making him look ferocious. His expression and appearance were even fiercer after he forced a smile at Little Bean. Little Bean would have mocked Xiao Su if he weren’t afraid of hurting Xiao Su’s feelings.
Xiao Su’s smile vanished immediately when he heard that. He hadn’t meant to do so yet he couldn’t help but caress the scar across his face and chuckled bitterly. “I’m sorry, did my smile scare you?”
Little Bean cocked his head to a side when he heard that and shook his head in denial. “Mr. Xiao, it’s not about your scar. It’s just that you were so reluctant to smile.” He grinned before adding, “Besides, your scar isn’t ugly, Mr. Xiao. It won’t scare anyone at all!”
Xiao Su was astounded when he heard that. “Is it not ugly? How is that even possible?” He chuckled bitterly again. The scar might have been on his face, but in reality, it scarred him deeply in his heart.
“It’s really not ugly, Mr. Xiao. Haven’t you heard of this phrase?” Little Bean must have sensed Xiao Su’s sadness and tried to console Xiao Su.
Xiao Su paused upon hearing that and he lowered his eyes at Little Bean. “What is the phrase you are referring to?”
“Bodily wounds are the marks of a man.”
Xiao Su was stunned to silence because he did not expect Little Bean to say such a thing.
“Although your wound is across your face, Mr. Xiao, it’s still symbolic. You are very handsome, Mr. Xiao, so don’t feel inferior over a scar!”
Xiao Su remained silent for the longest time after hearing that. Previously, he thought that Little Bean was quite intimidating because he was always against Ye Moxuan. However, after listening to what Little Bean said earlier, it changed his perception of Little Bean. Regardless of whether he’s sincere or he is just trying to console me, his words have truly touched the bottom of my heart.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 939
Xiao Su shot Little Bean a grateful look while thanking him, “Thank you very much.”
Little Bean grinned at him. “No worries, Mr. Xiao. In that case, are you going to check on Daddy? You look very worried!”
Xiao Su nodded immediately. “I should.”
“Well, you should go ahead, Mr. Xiao. I will wait here for the both of you.”
Xiao Su stood up swiftly while reminding Little Bean not to leave the table. After advising Little Bean to wait for their return, Xiao Su left in a hurry and marched toward the washroom in a haste after he gained his bearings.
Ye Moxuan washed his face in the washroom and checked his reflection in the mirror. He looked very pale. No wonder Xiao Su looked so worried when he saw me. It seems that short piece of memory had somehow tortured me so mercilessly. My head is still throbbing painfully, but I want nothing more than to recall my memories. Despite the splitting headache, I just want to recall everything from the past since it truly is a bad feeling to have a blank memory.
Just when Ye Moxuan was deep in thought, he heard a voice suddenly calling from outside, “Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan turned to the source of the voice and he saw Xiao Su standing at the door with a worried expression. He pursed his lips together while walking toward Xiao Su. “Why are you here?”
Xiao Su did not hide his thoughts. “Young Master Ye, are you feeling ill? Should I…” Send you to the hospital for a check-up? Before Xiao Su even finished his sentence, Ye Moxuan had interrupted him, “Will I ever regain those missing memories?”
Xiao Su was astounded by the sudden question. It took him quite a while before he snapped back to his senses. “I-I think it’s possible,” he stammered.
Ye Moxuan focused on a spot next to Xiao Su and it was as if his mind had drifted away. “You said that you’re my assistant, right? In that case, can you do something for me?”
“What is it?” Xiao Su asked while straightening his back.
“I want to regain my memories. It’s inconvenient for me to do it alone, so I need your help.”
Xiao Su hesitated before asking, “Uh, Young Master Ye, what can I do for you?”
Little Bean swung his legs while sitting on the chair. The server had dropped by twice to serve food on the table, but the other two seats at the table still remained empty. Little Bean rested his chin on his palm while thinking to himself, Why are those two men spending such a long time in the bathroom? Is there something that I’m not aware of happening? Should I tell Mommy about this when I get home? I’ve heard that many men these days enjoy some alone time together for fun activities.
Just when he was lost in his thoughts, he heard some footsteps outside. Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su walked back to the table and coincidentally bumped into the server who was just about to leave. The server flashed Ye Moxuan a bright smile since she noticed how handsome he looked and even winked at him.
Foreigners were relatively more open-minded and usually didn’t beat around the bush. After the server noticed a handsome man such as Ye Moxuan, the individual tried to flirt with him. It would’ve worked in her favor if they managed to hook up, but if it didn’t, she would consider it as a greeting to him.
Little Bean witnessed the scene, so he observed Ye Moxuan in silence to gauge his response. In the end, Ye Moxuan entered their private room with a blank expression. Forget about the wink, he barely looked at the server.
The server immediately lost interest in Ye Moxuan because not only did she not receive a response, she was even given the cold shoulder. However, she seemed unfazed as she merely walked with a calm expression. Nevertheless, Xiao Su witnessed the entire exchange between Ye Moxuan and the server. Xiao Su shook his head in his heart as he followed Ye Moxuan from behind.
Little Bean started to reprimand Ye Moxuan the moment he sat at the table. “Bad daddy! I’ll tell Mommy once I’m home that you were flirting.”
Ye Moxuan, who had just returned from the washroom and was oblivious to his surroundings, looked at Little Bean in confusion.
Xiao Su coughed into his fist while explaining on behalf of Ye Moxuan, “Little Bean, you shouldn’t make such unfounded accusations. You saw it in person; your daddy didn’t respond to her at all. In fact, he is oblivious to what just happened.”
True enough, Ye Moxuan looked slightly confused while listening to their conversation because he did not know what had happened.
“Hmph! That’s Daddy’s fault. People wouldn’t be flirting with him if he had acted fiercer!”
Xiao Su was at a loss for words. He was about to voice his thoughts. Well, your daddy is extremely handsome, and that is why—
However, Ye Moxuan must have guessed what happened by that point and stated calmly, “Let him continue.” It’s understandable that this little brat is unhappy and dissatisfied with me. In fact, he is quite resentful toward me. In any case, I see it as an improvement since he’s merely attacking me with his words now compared to the punch he gave me on the first day we met.
Xiao Su kept quiet since Ye Moxuan had requested Little Bean to express his thoughts.
Ye Moxuan looked at Little Bean. “You must be hungry now. Your mommy reminded me to take you out for lunch, so you should keep your mouth shut and eat now. Feel free to speak your mind after the meal.”
Little Bean looked at him with contempt. “Stupid. How can I eat if I keep my mouth shut?”
Pfft… Xiao Su almost burst out laughing, but he resisted from doing so since Ye Moxuan was present.
Ye Moxuan felt helpless and had no choice but to pretend as if he didn’t hear Little Bean. What choice do I have since my own son scolded me?
…
Yan and Han Muzi had lunch together, though the latter didn’t have much of an appetite during the duration of their meal. However, Yan had force fed Han Muzi with the excuse that she was pregnant.
By the time they finished their meal, Han Muzi was about to burst from being too full. She remained seated while caressing her belly. “You shouldn’t feed me forcefully. Too much food isn’t good for the baby. It’s bad if the baby becomes too fat.”
Yan spoke, “What are you talking about? How can the baby become fat when you are so skinny? You should eat more. From now on, I will make sure to replenish all the nutrition you’ve lost during this time. Otherwise, I would be worried sick if the child is born with malnutrition!”
Malnutrition? That’s an exaggeration and it’s impossible.
Just when they chatted, the phone Yan left in the room for charging rang suddenly. She was caught by surprise, but she responded swiftly to Han Muzi, “I’m going to answer the call and it might be your brother, so you have to take my side if he scolds me later.”
Yan dashed into the room before Han Muzi answered her. Then, she returned swiftly with her phone while winking at Han Muzi. Han Muzi knew immediately that it was her brother, Han Qing, on the line. Hence, she smiled reassuringly at Yan while signaling her to answer the call.
Yan inhaled deeply while she suppressed the bubbling fear rising in her chest. “Hello?” she greeted him tentatively.
“Open the door.”
“Huh?” Yan was caught off guard when she heard Han Qing bark from the other side of the line. She was in a daze because she couldn’t process what he was referring to. What does he mean by that? Why should I open the door?
In the beginning, Yan was bewildered, but soon enough, her eyes widened in shock. “O-Open the d-door?”
“Right now,” Han Qing snapped coldly.
Yan was petrified for quite a while and she stared at Han Muzi. Finally, she walked to the entrance like a stiff puppet.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 940
Han Muzi was confused by Yan’s expression. Just when she was about to ask Yan what was going on, she saw Yan turning around to make her way to the entrance of the house. In fact, Yan seemed to be moving in an awkward manner.
What is happening? Han Muzi was confused because Yan wouldn’t have acted in this way if it was just a call from Han Qing. Besides, Yan never explained to her what had happened. Maybe it isn’t Han Qing on the phone.
Han Muzi was worried at the thought of that possibility and she stood up abruptly to follow Yan. Soon, she arrived at the entrance with Yan. Then, she saw Yan approach the door. However, just when Yan reached out toward the door handle, she withdrew her hand in horror as if she was electrocuted or that the plague was knocking on the door. After that, Yan took a step back before hiding behind Han Muzi and swallowed audibly.
She looks… Han Muzi was curious, so she shot a suspicious glance toward the door. Then, she patted Yan’s hand reassuringly while whispering at her, “I’ll do it. Don’t worry.”
Then, Han Muzi stepped forward to peek through the peephole to check who was at the door. The peephole was installed for security purposes, and usually, she wouldn’t pay much attention to it. However, Yan’s intense reaction worried her, so she decided to check who was at the door and became astounded the moment she peered through the peephole. After that, she took a step back to open the door swiftly.
A tall and sturdy figure framed the entrance and his cold and aloof face looked handsome under the corridor lights. Han Qing’s gaze softened when he met Han Muzi’s eyes. However, when he saw Yan, who stood behind Han Muzi, his gaze instantly turned ice-cold.
Yan flinched involuntarily, and at that moment, she wished the ground swallowed her so that she could hide forever without ever resurfacing again. After all, Han Qing’s gaze was now cold and sharp like a blade and she just couldn’t look at him in the eye.
Han Muzi sensed Han Qing’s severe gaze as well. Nevertheless, she hadn’t expected him to show up without warning, so she smiled and casually took a step to block Han Qing’s view of Yan. “Qing, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?”
As Han Qing gazed at Han Muzi, the coldness seeped away gradually from his eyes. It was obvious that he came here with suppressed emotions. He did not want Han Muzi to witness the feelings he hid from her, but he went through an emotional rollercoaster, which somehow exposed his suppressed emotions. “There just wasn’t enough time,” he answered calmly while walking into the apartment.
When Han Qing walked past Han Muzi, she noticed that he was quite exhausted by his journey. She frowned slightly as she closed the door behind him. Han Qing came over alone this time and Su Jiu hadn’t tagged along. But that makes sense because it’s not a working day after all. It’s the first day of Chinese New Year in China and yesterday was Chinese New Year’s Eve. Su Jiu has her own family, so she must be on vacation to return home to reunite with her family. It wouldn’t make sense for her to accompany Han Qing to travel abroad. Besides, even if Su Jiu was willing to work overtime, Han Qing wouldn’t have allowed it.
Yan felt her heart pacing when he walked past her. Previously, I had everything planned out before I left China. Furthermore, I was quite bold because I figured that I could easily blame Little Bean for everything when Han Qing visits. After all, both Han Qing and Han Muzi would never be angry at Little Bean. However, now that Han Qing is here, I don’t even dare to attract any attention to myself.
Yan stood at the same spot even after Han Qing entered the apartment, which caused Han Muzi to take her hand to lead her into the house. “Let’s go in.”
“I can’t.” Yan shook her head while biting her lower lip and her eyes were rimmed red. “Muzi, my legs feel like jelly.”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words when she heard that. After a pause, she chuckled in resignation. “Well, aren’t you a tad bit too timid? Why are you so scared when he hasn’t lost his temper? What would you do in the future if this happens again? I thought you wanted to marry him?”
Yan shook her head violently. “I can’t even think about it now.” There was only one thought in her mind currently. I hope Han Qing won’t blame me. Sob, he might not want to speak to me anymore after this.
“I’m here after all,” Han Muzi had no choice but to reassure her. “I will help you if anything happens.”
Upon hearing that, a pitiful Yan finally followed Han Muzi to enter the living room. Although Han Qing was here for the first time, he treated the place like home. He openly glanced at the surroundings, as though he was checking the environment. He let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the place was much better than he expected before sitting on the couch.
Han Muzi led Yan into the living room. They were the only ones at home at that moment, so Yan hid behind Han Muzi since she lacked the courage to look into Han Qing’s eyes.
Han Muzi smiled at Han Qing. “Qing, what would you like to drink?”
Han Qing pressed his lips together and stared at his younger sister before he answered her calmly, “Some plain water, please.”
Thus, Han Muzi patted a nervous Yan, who gripped Han Muzi’s hands. “Yan, please pour a glass of water.”
Yan felt uncomfortable hanging around anyway, so she shot Han Muzi a grateful look before leaving for the kitchen immediately for a glass of water. Due to Yan’s anxiety, she almost tripped and fell. Fortunately, Yan was agile and regained her balance before making her way to the kitchen.
Han Muzi looked away and she approached Han Qing to sit beside him. “Qing.”
Han Qing looked up to observe Han Muzi. “Why do you look thinner? Didn’t he take good care of you?” There was an element of coldness in his tone, which made him sound menacing.
Han Muzi was stumped when she heard it, but she shook her head hastily while explaining on behalf of Ye Moxuan, “Qing, what are you saying? He didn’t even recognize me before. How could he possibly look after me?”
“That b*stard.” Han Qing clenched his fist and his expression turned sour. In all honesty, this was unusual since he rarely cursed.
“However, Qing, please don’t be angry. We’ve acknowledged each other now. In fact, he knows that Little Bean is his son and he treats me very well too. You—”
Han Qing laughed mirthlessly when he heard that. “Did you? Was it thanks to Little Bean? What would have happened to the both of you if Yan hadn’t brought Little Bean over?” His voice was stern and he seemed to have a strong stand regarding her weight loss.
Han Muzi’s lips parted, but she was rendered speechless. He has such a strong opinion about my weight loss. I can already imagine him destroying the place if he leanrs that I almost had a miscarriage. The thought flashed through her mind and she decided not to inform him about this matter.
“Where is he now?” Han Qing coldly asked, just as Yan walked out of the kitchen with his glass of water.
