Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 941

Yan immediately walked away after placing the cup of water in front of Han Qing.

Han Qing frowned reflexively while looking at Yan. She immediately exclaimed, “I just recalled that I haven’t tidied my clothes and I will do that now.” After that, she turned around and left hurriedly to her room.

Both Han Qing and Han Muzi were speechless. After Yan entered her room, Han Muzi blurted out, “Qing, you shouldn’t be so fierce. Just look at how scared Yan is.”

Han Qing coldly glanced at her. “That good friend of yours is quite bold. She took Little Bean away without informing me.”

Han Muzi bit her lower lip and she decided to take the blame for Yan. “To be honest, it wasn’t her idea to fly over. I felt that there isn’t any improvement here, which is why I sent a message to Yan, asking her to bring Little Bean to me.”

However, Han Qing did not believe her and merely cocked a brow at her. “Are you trying to share the blame with her?”

“Qing, it’s not that. I really texted her to ask her to fly over.”

“Do you have any proof?” Han Qing asked.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response as she hadn’t expected Han Qing to ask such a direct question. She was stunned for several moments before finally explaining, “Well, I sent her a message, but I’ve cleared the inbox in my phone.”

“Is that so?” Han Qing asked leisurely, as if he was not in a rush.

Han Muzi suddenly did not know what else to say because she had a feeling that she couldn’t hide the truth, no matter what she said. Han Qing knows me very well. Previously, I didn’t want Little Bean to tag along because I wanted to handle everything alone. I was hoping to bring Little Bean over after Ye Moxuan recovered his memories. However, Ye Moxuan has yet to recover his memories and I’m already claiming that I asked Yan to fly Little Bean over through a text message. My own words aren’t even convincing to my ears. She kept quiet because she knew that he wouldn’t believe her and she lowered her head, suddenly feeling depressed.

Han Qing was stumped when he saw that. He felt guilty upon recalling his overly stern tone earlier and Han Muzi now looked overwhelmed. “I’m sorry… I don’t mean to speak to you in such a harsh tone. However, just now—”

“I understand,” Han Muzi interrupted. “I know you are just worried about me. However, I am an adult now. I should be allowed to do what I want to and that includes Yan too. She knows what she’s doing. It clearly means that she’s not doing this alone since she has the courage to fly with Little Bean.” Han Muzi looked up and she met Han Qing’s gaze. “Why would you blame her since Little Bean did this willingly?”

Han Qing noticed that Han Muzi was adamant on defending Yan. He knew that there was no chance for him to lecture Yan. Initially, Han Qing wanted to reprimand her in the open. She is free to do whatever she wants, but what irks me the most is the fact that she took Little Bean away without informing me. What am I to do if something happens during their journey? Upon taking that into consideration, Han Qing’s tone significantly softened. “I understand if this is what you wish for.”

“I am not wishing for anything,” Han Muzi interrupted him. “I am merely stating the facts. If you want to reprimand Yan, I’m afraid you would have to lecture Little Bean as well. After all, I bet Little Bean is the bolder one between the two of them. Yan would never have brought him to see me if Little Bean had not requested her to do that.”

Well, that seems fair if she puts it that way. But… Han Qing frowned at Han Muzi. She does not seem worried about her own son at all. Isn’t she worried that I might reprimand Little Bean too? However, I shouldn’t worry about that. He paused for a long time before reassuring her, “Fine, I understand. Don’t be angry.”

Han Muzi kept her eyes lowered without answering him. The living room was completely silent. After a while, Han Muzi broke the silence, “Are you celebrating Chinese New Year with us now that you’re here?”

Han Qing grunted in agreement and he explained, “The whole company is on leave now. Su Jiu originally wanted to tag along, but I did not agree to it. Hence, she stayed at home to accompany her child.”

“Oh.” Han Muzi glanced around him when she realized something important. I think Han Qing was holding a small bag when he entered, but I didn’t see a suitcase. He couldn’t have only brought a phone and his ID, could he? Han Muzi looked up at him when she considered the possibility. “Qing, where is your suitcase?”

Han Qing’s calm and steady face flushed with embarrassment when he heard that question. He was annoyed with himself because he was in a rush and he did not pack a suitcase before flying over. It was only when the flight attendant inquired about his suitcase that he recalled he forgot to pack one. Fortunately, he brought along his paperwork and phone. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have found Han Muzi’s address.

“Were you in such a rush that you didn’t take anything with you?”

Han Qing looked up with a stern expression. “I have my paperwork and phone with me.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless at his response. After she pondered for a while, she cleared her throat before speaking, “When Moxuan comes home, I will ask him to lend you some of his clothes, alright?”

Wear Ye Moxuan’s clothes? Han Qing was repulsed by the idea. How could I possibly wear another man’s clothes? I wouldn’t do it even if he is my brother-in-law. He immediately rejected her suggestion, “No. I will head out to buy some clothes later.”

Han Muzi never forced him and she replied to him after a pause, “You might not be familiar with the surroundings since you’ve just arrived. Why don’t I accompany you?”

“No need.” Han Qing looked toward the direction where Yan disappeared. “Let her come with me.”

Initially, Han Muzi was about to say something, but something struck her. Isn’t this a rare chance for Yan? There will be no one else if she accompanies Han Qing to shop for clothes. I’m sure the two of them would get to spend a long time alone.

Han Muzi nodded in agreement once the idea settled in. “Sure, I will inform Yan later.” After that, she stood up to walk to Yan’s room while Han Qing kept his head bowed and his eyelashes hid the darkness in his eyes. Muzi gave me a speech earlier and I understand that she just doesn’t want me to blame Yan. Nevertheless, certain things should be made clear. Since I can’t speak my mind in front of my younger sister, I shall take Yan out to speak to her.

Han Muzi relayed his message to Yan after entering her room. The color drained from Yan’s face when she heard that and she immediately rejected Han Muzi. “I do not want to go with him!”

Han Muzi was astonished when she heard that. “Why not? Why don’t you want to go out with my brother when it’s such a good opportunity?”

“Muzi, I don’t have the courage… I’m very scared of him now because he must be mad at me.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve spoken to him just now and he promised that he would not pursue it.”

“Are you sure?” Yan was suspicious. “Nevertheless, I’m still scared.”

“What are you afraid of? You get to spend time alone with him. Go ahead and shop for clothes with him. Are you sure you want to give up on such a good opportunity?”

Han Muzi decided to bite the bullet since she noticed that Yan was still in a dilemma. She turned around while heading toward the room door, and she commented, “In that case, I’ll tell him that you don’t want to go with him.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 942

Yan panicked when she saw Han Muzi leaving and she held onto Han Muzi’s hand reflexively. “Don’t leave!”

“Why not?” Han Muzi looked at her in amusement. “Didn’t you say that you are still scared of him? I was just thinking of asking my friend to accompany him if you’re not up for it. Coincidentally, my friend is a girl too. She might fall in love with my brother at first sight.”

Yan had a look of despair when she heard that. “Muzi, you sure are evil! You know that my chances are slim at best. I have no hope if you add a competition!”

“In that case, are you going or not?”

“Yes, I am!” Yan nodded firmly while hissing through gritted teeth, “Of course, I am!” I have to go even if I’m scared. Muzi is right; this is a rare chance for me. We get to spend time alone! The more Yan thought about it, the more excited she was. I must have lost my mind to even consider rejecting such a good opportunity. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t regret it even if Han Qing reprimands me later.

“However, you will have to wait for me. I can’t leave right now because I need to apply some make up and change my clothes.” Yan was casually dressed since her crush was not around. It was at that moment when she noticed in horror that she wore simple and mismatched clothes.

Han Muzi checked the time. “Sure, you might want to rush, though. I can’t stop him if he leaves after waiting for too long.”

“Sure!” Yan swiftly opened her suitcase to change her clothes while Han Muzi waited for her outside. It was about ten minutes later when she walked out and caused Han Muzi’s eyes to bulge in surprise upon seeing her.

“A-Are you alright?”

Yan pursed her lips together. “I don’t have nice clothes, so…”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless while she ogled at Yan. “Do you know how cold it is outside? Do you want to freeze to death wearing this??”

Yan defended herself from Han Muzi’s mean remarks. “I obviously know how cold the weather is. However, you should know how difficult it is to have the chance to spend time alone with him. I have to flaunt whatever I have in front of your brother. Your brother might be even more uninterested in me if I were to wrap myself up into a huge ball of fur.”

Han Muzi asked, “Are you sure? You might catch a cold and be down with a fever later.” She frowned at this sight, adding, “No, I can’t let you leave when you’re not adequately dressed. Wait here for me. I will get you a jacket.”

“No!” Yan stopped her. “I’m begging you, Muzi. Let me head out in this attire. I have heat packs underneath. I won’t be cold.”

Han Muzi was at a loss for words at her insistence, but did not stop her in the end. After Yan left, Han Muzi entered the room while staring incredulously at Yan’s messy suitcase. Is this how… being in love looks like?

Han Muzi felt aggrieved at the sight of her best friend losing her identity for the sake of a man. She couldn’t help but feel indignant on behalf of Yan. She then sighed in resignation. If it were up to me, I really hope that Yan hadn’t fallen for Han Qing. She could have fallen in love with anyone else. Why must she fall for him? Previously, Secretary Su was in love with Qing for such a long time. She remained by his side for so long, hoping that he would develop feelings for her over time. However, what happened in the end? She couldn’t bear it because her family pressured her. How about now? Yan is now in the same situation. How long can she go on like this? Will she end up like Su Jiu and not survive the wait? My brother… is truly troublesome. Why does it feel as though he is a cold-blooded animal with no emotions? It’s difficult to understand him. It’s not quite accurate to label him as a cold-blooded animal because as my older brother, he treats me well.

On the other hand, Yan followed Han Qing out of the apartment. After closing the door behind them, they used the elevator and walked out of it, but Han Qing did not even look at her.

Yan couldn’t hide her disappointment. I dressed seductively for him, but he is not even paying me any attention. This is saddening. However, Yan’s sorrow vanished soon enough. Well, we have plenty of alone time ahead. He will have a chance to look at my outfit later, even if he doesn’t look at me now. Yan’s mood improved immediately at that thought. She tugged at her collar and she recalled what Han Muzi said about the cold weather. Why do I feel fine walking around here? I don’t think the walk would be too cold.

However, she had a rude awakening the moment she walked out of the building. The walls provided an insulated barrier earlier when she walked out of the elevator. However, now that she left the building, gusts of bone-chilling wind blew from all directions. The chilly wind seeped through the protective layers of her clothes and ultimately reached her skin.

Oh my God! Yan’s mind went blank apart from those three words! It’s freezing!!! It felt fine when I was walking along the corridor! Why is there such a drastic change the moment I walked out of the entrance of the building? In an instant, her teeth chattered in the freezing cold and it was so cold that she could hardly walk.

Even so, Han Qing, who was walking in front of her, did not slow down to wait for her. Yan glanced at his back view and she wanted nothing more than to say that she needed to head home to wear more clothes. Nevertheless, she barely brought herself to say anything. Han Qing will think I’m a nuisance if I were to say anything now. He would tell me to just go home alone. I’ll just bear with it. Shopping for clothes wouldn’t take too long after all. Besides, it’s impossible for me to freeze until I’m a block of ice. I’d catch a cold and end up with a fever in the worst-case scenario. I just have to soak myself in a warm bath upon arriving home. Yan gritted her teeth in determination after she decided and followed Han Qing from behind.

After walking for quite a while, Han Qing noticed the footsteps beside him were gone. Just when he was about to stop and check on Yan, he heard her footsteps approaching him. Hence, he did not slow down and continued marching forward with his heavy and steady footsteps instead.

Yan caught up to Han Qing but was a couple of steps behind him. She did not walk alongside him because she just couldn’t keep up with him. He took long strides and walked briskly. She had to jog along just to keep up at this distance. It’s so cold. It is freezing. Why wouldn’t Han Qing turn around to look at me? I’d settle for a quick glance! Otherwise, wouldn’t my efforts of dressing up go to waste?

“Do you know why I asked you to come out with me?” The wind suddenly carried Han Qing’s cold and distant voice from the front.

Yan was stumped for a while, but she jogged behind him while dumbly asking, “Why did you? Were you thinking of reprimanding me?”

Han Qing paused for a while, but he did not stop walking and glanced at the petite figure behind him from the corner of his eyes. His eyes darkened when he saw her jogging just to keep up with him.

Yan did not receive a reply from him after asking that question and she slightly panicked. “Did I guess correctly? Are you really planning to reprimand me? Well… It’s my fault this time. However, what’s done is done. Can you soften the blow?” Yan’s pace slowed down while she tried to run after him. Is it my imagination? Why do I feel as if Han Qing is deliberately slowing down to wait for me? Soon, she noticed that she would overtake Han Qing if she continued to jog. Hence, she stopped immediately and walked at a normal pace beside him instead.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 943

It’s not my imagination! Han Qing is truly slowing down! Yan’s heart raced once she realized that and her heart started to beat faster as it was now in her throat.

“It seems like you aren’t too dumb after all since you know where you stand.”

Yan suddenly felt energized after her heart started to pulsate. It’s completely worth it to brave the cold today because I now know that Han Qing would slow down for me. This simple encounter is enough to serve as a sweet memory for me to reminisce. When Yan thought about it, it made the weather less cold for her. She wasn’t sure whether it was her sudden realization that warmed her heart and limbs or whether her body and limbs were numb from the extreme cold since she had been outside for so long.

“I know my limitations and where I stand. It’s impossible for you to ask me to accompany you to shop for clothes. The only plausible reason is that you didn’t want to reprimand me in front of Muzi.” Her tone softened when she added, “Fine, I know it’s my fault this time. I won’t be bold enough to take Little Bean away on my own in the future.”

Han Qing scowled deeply when he heard that. He stopped dead in his tracks and he pressed his thin lips together while radiating a displeased aura. Yan did not notice him stopping abruptly, so she bumped into his back. She exclaimed in surprise and stopped abruptly. “What is it?”

“It seems like you don’t know what your mistake is.”

Yan was rendered speechless by his response. She looked dumbfounded. What was my mistake? Isn’t my mistake taking Little Bean abroad on my own accord? As Little Bean’s uncle, Han Qing is worried about the child’s safety and that is why he is angry at my actions. I have already apologized, but somehow, Han Qing still seems extremely angry. What is happening?

Han Qing raised his hand to massage the spot between his eyebrows. His tone was calm. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Yan was stunned to silence while she froze to the ground. Her brain stopped functioning as if the wind had numbed her. I felt the warmth earlier, but I feel so chilly now that I’m about to sneeze. I wish for… nothing more than a bowl of hot soup. I’d also like a hot bath since it will feel wonderful. She shook her head to clear those thoughts from her clouded mind. Then, she tried her best to steer her imaginations away. Why am I thinking about that at this moment? Han Qing is the most important person right now! He is my crush! He is the person whom I am in love with!

Forcing herself to focus, she explained, “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. I-I was just afraid of telling you about it. I’m s-s-scared that you wouldn’t l-l-let us go i-i-if I were to tell you about it. That is why…”

Han Qing’s scowl deepened. This girl… However, he realized quickly there was something amiss. Why is this girl’s voice trembling? Is she scared of me? Is she so afraid that even her voice is trembling?

“Am I really that scary?” Han Qing asked coldly while turning around to face her.

Their eyes met unexpectedly at that moment. Yan’s wish for Han Qing to turn around and acknowledge her was finally granted. However, the weather was terrible because there was a sudden strong gust of wind billowing against Yan’s long hair. Her usually soft and silky hair suddenly flapped against her face, leaving Yan’s face stiff with pain. The saddest part was her hair was now as messy as a chicken coop after the wind stopped blowing.

Han Qing, who was standing right in front of her, still looked as good as always whereas Yan’s hair was in a mess, making her look disheveled.

“Ah!” Yan cried out in alarm. She covered her face in a panic when she snapped back to her senses. “Don’t look at me!” I wished for Han Qing to pay attention to me so that my efforts today wouldn’t go to waste, but I didn’t expect the wind to mess up my hair!

Han Qing frowned at her without looking away. He observed her from head to toe, scowling in disapproval when he realized what she wore. His tone was icy-cold and it was void of emotions. “What are you doing?”

Yan covered her face while turning her back to him. “T-The wind is too strong, so my hair is in a mess now.” Then, she immediately combed and smoothened her hair down with her fingers while trying to look presentable.

Smack! He held onto her wrist suddenly and she was stunned into silence out of shock. D-Did my crush just take the initiative to hold my hand? W-Why?

Han Qing walked to Yan’s front and his calm expression fell on her face. “What on earth are you doing?” He sounded displeased. In fact, he looked annoyed.

Yan tried to explain, “I-I’m not doing anything. I thought you wanted to shop for clothes. Let’s go! There is a supermarket just in front, then—”

“What’s up with your clothes?” Han Qing interrupted her with a direct question.

Yan was stunned into silence again and she lowered her eyes to check out her outfit. She scanned her clothes carefully before finally looking up at Han Qing with caution. “Does it not look good?” Did I choose the wrong outfit?

Han Qing was dumbfounded and his frown deepened. Her small hand is extremely cold to touch. She feels like a cold stone that was fished out of a frozen lake in the middle of winter. Is this what she has been wearing from the beginning? How long has it been? Doesn’t she feel cold at all? Why did she ask a dumb question on whether she looks good when I asked about her outfit?

He released Yan’s hand whereas she stared at his large hand while feeling a tad bit regretful. She looked as if it was a pity that he hadn’t held her hand longer.

Han Qing felt helpless, so he asked in a steely tone, “Aren’t you cold?”

Upon hearing that, Yan finally understood what he meant. It turns out that he is not complaining that my clothes do not look good. Did he just ask whether I’m cold or not?

A surge of hope rose in Yan’s heart once again. “A-Are you worried about me?”

Han Qing squinted at Yan impatiently while glancing at her as she was scantily clad in front of him. She is already freezing, but her first reaction is the fear that I might find her outfit ugly. Besides, did she just ask if I’m worried about her? Can’t she take better care of her body? “We are going back,” he instructed calmly.

The color drained from Yan’s face when she heard that. She shook her head firmly. “No, I want to take you to shop for clothes.”

“I don’t need them anymore.”

Yan started to panic. “How can that be? What will you do in the next few days if you don’t buy your clothes now? Besides, you haven’t reprimanded me, so I can’t return home yet.”

Han Qing was rendered speechless by her reaction.

Yan’s cheeks and lips were ghostly pale, but she was adamant about going through with the initial plan. “I’m not leaving. In any case, I’m not returning home, no matter what you say. It’s my own body and I’m not cold at all.”

Han Qing was at a loss for words.

Yan knew that he was angry because she was greeted with total silence from him, but wasn’t sure how furious he was. Hence, she looked up tentatively to check on him, but she realized that Han Qing was unbuttoning his coat in front of her. Upon seeing that, Yan’s heart fluttered in her chest.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 944

Yan couldn’t be sure if Han Qing removed his coat for her. She wanted to stop him, but she was worried that he might deny it and claim that she was overthinking if she were to say anything. However, if I don’t stop him, wouldn’t he end up freezing if he were to take off his coat for me? I’d rather suffer and freeze than to have Han Qing suffer in the cold!

Just when she weighed her options, Han Qing took off his coat while approaching her with it. His eyes were fixed on her with a chilly stare.

Yan took a step back reflexively. “No!”

Han Qing stopped abruptly and he scowled at her. “Come over here and put the coat on!”

“No, I won’t!” Yan stared back at him stubbornly. She bit her lip while shaking her head firmly. “You should put it on. I am not cold!”

Han Qing looked upset and impatient at that point. In fact, his brows were knitted tightly. Why is this girl so stubborn? He squinted at her. “Do you think I’d believe you? You either come over here and put it on or I’ll go over there and do it myself!”

Yan was rendered speechless by his reaction. If I have a choice… I hope that Han Qing will come over to put the coat on me. It’s so romantic to have a man personally putting a coat on a woman. Ah, no! No! She shook her head violently to rid her mind of those enchanting thoughts and snapped back to her senses, only to be met with Han Qing’s cold and distant gaze. I just can’t walk to him. The weather is too cold and I honestly do not wish for Han Qing to suffer like I did.

While she was pondering, Han Qing approached her steadily. Yan’s eyes widened in shock and she was about to retreat, but he arrived in front of her in one long stride. He raised his arms to place the warm coat over Yan’s shoulders.

Yan stood to the ground in shock while staring blankly at Han Qing, who was in front of her. They were barely inches apart. She looked up and saw Han Qing’s jaw above her. He did not have the time to shave—most probably since he boarded the plane in a rush. Hence, his chin was covered with stubble. Usually, it takes me a lot of effort and diligence to be in such close proximity with him. However, this time, I did not take the initiative to approach Han Qing. On the contrary, he took the initiative to approach me instead.

Nevertheless, before Yan could savor their close proximity, Han Qing pulled away from her after merely fastening a coat button when he placed the coat over her shoulders. Then, he stated with a deep and stern voice, “Fasten the rest of the buttons yourself.”

Yan glanced blankly at him before looking down at the coat with one fastened button.

The coat had Han Qing’s residual warmth. At first, Yan’s body felt numb due to the freezing cold, but she felt especially warm and toasty in his coat now. The warmth she felt was different from the usual warmth in temperature because she felt it deep in her heart. The heat spread to her limbs and it was so intense that she felt revitalized by the warmth. She barely heard what he said about fastening the buttons and merely looked up at Han Qing.

However, Han Qing looked away when she gazed at him and he started to move forward again. Yan was stumped for a few seconds, but she caught up to him swiftly. “Well…”

His pace quickly resumed its original speed. Yan had to jog along to keep up with him and she trotted along after Han Qing while gasping for air. “Let’s go home.”

Han Qing maintained his pace. In fact, he did not answer her.

“The weather is too cold. Let’s go home now. We should stop walking.” Yan reached out to tug on his sweater since he was blatantly ignoring her.

Han Qing stopped and turned around to stare at her with a blank expression. Yan lowered her eyes under his stern gaze and she stated flatly, “Honestly, you should listen to me… I’m afraid that you—”

“Why did you refuse to head home just now when I told you to do so?”

Yan was stumped by his question. Well, I cherish the chance for the both of us to spend time alone. After all, I’m not sure when the next time would be if I were to miss this chance. It’s such a rare opportunity presented to me. I am a fool if I didn’t grab onto this chance. However, to win something, you have to lose something—it’s the chain of cause and effect. That’s why I don’t mind at all if I can’t spend time with him now.

Han Qing pursed his lips together since she refused to answer him. He broke the silence after a pause, “You should go home if you’re tired. I will shop alone.” With that, he continued marching forward.

Yan was left with no choice because he refused to heed to her advice, so she chased after him. Han Qing’s figure stood tall and sturdy like a large tree amidst the strong winter wind. He seemed unfazed by the cold, which gave people the feeling that he was reliable. He is the type of man who gives off a sense of security, even by walking beside him. Besides, he is a true gentleman. Han Qing is obviously not in love with me, but he took it upon himself to take his jacket off for me, even if it means that he’d suffer in the cold. Based on this alone, I am more in love with him than ever before.

A tall and a short figure walked in synchronicity along the streets. Yan wasn’t sure how long they had walked for, but she finally saw a supermarket in front of her. She ran over quickly while dragging Han Qing into the mall.

Yan let out a sigh of relief the moment they entered the supermarket because they were greeted with a blast of warm air. This is great! Han Qing can finally avoid the freezing cold!

Soon, the two of them found the men’s department in the shopping mall. Han Qing seemed familiar with the brand because he stated his size once he entered the department. Yan did not enter with him since he bought men’s clothes. Instead, she waited obediently at the entrance with his coat still on her. Yan must have walked for too long earlier because she was exhausted by that point. Her eyelids felt as heavy as lead and she couldn’t help but squat on the floor. Then, she rested her chin on her palms while forcing herself to stay awake.

After five minutes, Han Qing had an extra dark grey coat on. He walked out of the store with a bag in hand. His tall and sturdy figure came to an abrupt stop when he saw Yan squatting at the entrance.

Yan wore Han Qing’s coat, which was several sizes larger, and it fitted loosely around her. Now that she was crouched on the ground, she looked like a mushroom from afar. Han Qing looked away after gazing at her for several moments. He pressed his lips together and he maintained a blank expression while approaching her.

Yan turned around when she heard footsteps behind her. True enough, she saw Han Qing walking out, so she stood up swiftly to approach him. She looked like the help trying to take the bag from Han Qing. “Let me help you with that!” When it’s someone whom you love, you simply wouldn’t have the heart to let them tire themselves! Even if Han Qing is a man and I am a woman, the feeling remains the same!

Naturally, Han Qing did not hand her the bag. Yan felt slightly depressed when she heard him speak, “Let’s go. There’s a women’s clothing store in front. Go ahead and buy a coat.”

“Huh?” Yan looked up in shock. “I thought I’m wearing one?”

“You can return my coat after you’ve purchased yours.”

Yan hesitated before asking, “Why? Can’t I return your coat when we are back home? I packed clothes with me for this trip. I don’t need to buy more.”

Han Qing gazed at her steadily when he heard that. “Muzi will misunderstand.”

His statement felt like thunder in Yan’s mind. She felt as if she had heard some terrible news.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 945

Muzi might misunderstand… Muzi might misunderstand…

The same phrase was on repeat in Yan’s mind like a broken record. Something shocking flashed across her mind, but she denied it swiftly. How is that possible? I must be mistaken.

As Yan tried to reassure herself, Han Qing noticed that she turned ghostly pale in that instant, as if she had just received some horrible news. She didn’t look this bad even when I rejected her in the past. Upon considering the possibilities, Han Qing realized that Yan might have misunderstood what he said earlier. Just to make sure, he asked her while scowling, “What are you thinking?”

Yan looked fine before he asked, but now that he posed the question to her, she appeared sheepish and bit her lower lip while suppressing the intense emotions in her chest. “W-What did you mean w-when you said that M-Muzi might misunderstand?” she stammered before biting her lower lip.

Han Qing frowned when he heard that. She truly misunderstood what I meant. Fortunately, I asked her about it so that I can double confirm. He shifted the bag to his other hand before explaining calmly, “Muzi is my only family and I am the same for her. She will be extremely concerned about my relationship status. You, on the other hand, are her best friend, so I do not want her to think that there is any possibility between you and me and I don’t want her to try to matchmake us either.” I think my statement is clear enough.

After listening to Han Qing’s explanation, Yan let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt that her heart had been ripped apart with a gaping hole. Luckily it’s not what I thought it was. However… I didn’t expect him to dislike me so much that he was afraid that Muzi would try to matchmake us. She lowered her eyes, as though she was disheartened. “Alright, I understand. I will go ahead and buy a new coat and return this to you.” After that, she turned around swiftly and marched forward.

This time, Yan walked briskly and immediately entered the first women’s clothing store she saw at the side. Obviously, Han Qing did not enter the shop. Instead, he waited with an aloof expression at the entrance of the shop while holding his bag. After several minutes, the shop assistant walked out with a black coat in her hands. She looked left and right before finally focusing on Han Qing, as if to confirm something.

Han Qing approached her since he noticed that she was holding his coat. “What is the problem?”

“Sir, is this your coat?”

Han Qing nodded. “Yeah. Is she done with her purchase yet?”

The female shop assistant flashed him a smile with a slight embarrassment. “Well, the madam requested for us to return this coat to you, sir.”

Han Qing remained silent for a while before accepting the coat. However, the shop assistant must have realized how awkward it looked because she added, “Please wait for a while. Allow me to get you a bag to keep the coat.”

Han Qing did not reject her request and soon, the shop assistant placed his coat in a bag. However, Yan still hadn’t showed up at that point. The shop assistant looked conflicted, but she stammered after Han Qing shot her a look, “Well, sir, madam said that she would like to browse through some clothes here, and… you should head home first.”

Han Qing paused after accepting the bag, but he nodded in the end. “Sure.” He stated after a pause, “Ask her to head home soon. Otherwise, her friend would be worried about her too.”

“Sure, sir. I will convey your message to her.”

Soon, Han Qing left with his bags without glancing backward.

When the female shop assistant returned, Yan sat on the stool in her newly purchased coat while spacing out in the changing room and looked up in anticipation. The female shop assistant informed Yan in a chatty tone, “Madam, that mister just left.” She saw the last glimmer of hope in Yan’s eyes vanishing completely at those words.

The atmosphere suddenly felt gloomy all of a sudden. Since the female shop assistant had never encountered such a situation before, she felt rather helpless. In fact, she had no idea on how to console Yan or whether Yan would buy the coat she now wore. In any case, the man went overboard. I can’t believe he left just because she asked him to.

“So, are you two a couple?”

Yan snapped back to her senses when she heard the shop assistant’s question and she shook her head with a bitter smile. “No, we aren’t.”

The shop assistant’s interest was piqued when she heard that. In that case, she doesn’t have any right to blame that man if they aren’t a couple.

“I am in love with him, but he has no feelings for me.” With that, Yan took off her coat to return it to the shop assistant.

The female shop assistant looked slightly upset, but she did not comment further. She looks so sad. I’m sure she is not in the mood to shop for clothes.

“Please wrap it up for me.”

The shop assistant was shocked, but she nodded anyway. “Sure, please wait for a while.”

After paying for the purchase, Yan took the bag with the coat and she prepared to leave. The female shop assistant chased after her until they both arrived at the entrance. Seeing how listless Yan was, the shop assistant couldn’t help but advise Yan, “Madam, the weather is extremely cold today. It’s best for you to wear the coat now. I can help you remove the tags.”

Yan paused when she heard that and turned around to flash the shop assistant a friendly smile. “That’s not necessary. I’m not cold.”

“Madam, you aren’t cold now because there are heaters in the mall. You wouldn’t feel warm once you leave the shopping mall.”

“I know. I will put it on once I leave the shopping mall. I’d like to have a look around… for now.”

The shop assistant did not comment further since Yan said that, so she nodded at Yan while looking at Yan leaving.

Yan had the coat in the bag when she left the mall. Sure enough, as what the shop assistant had mentioned, it was no longer warm once Yan walked out of the mall. The bone-chilling wind attacked her body in all directions, but this time, Yan was not as cold as before. She had the coat in her bag, but she didn’t feel like wearing it. Maybe the chilly wind would knock some sense into me. Yan smiled bitterly when she thought of that. Once I’m more sensible, I don’t think I’ll be in love with Han Qing anymore. It’s been such a long time and my feelings for him might be deeply ingrained, but it’s not impossible to overcome it.

Yan walked forward aimlessly as her whole body felt numb due to the cold. Things had always been smooth sailing for her ever since she was a child. She always rose to the challenge whenever she faced difficulties, but the only expectation was matters related to relationships. Being secretly in love and pinning for someone with unrequited love are such horrible feelings. This feeling is terrible. Given the chance, I wish I could let things go. I can fall in love with someone else if Han Qing doesn’t love me. It’s not like I do not have any pursuers.

Yan smiled as she wiped her tears away. Passersby shot weary glances at her, as if she was a mad woman. She wasn’t sure how long this went on for, but a figure blocked Yan’s way eventually, forcing her to stop abruptly. Initially, she saw a pair of familiar shoes, which caused her heart to skip a beat. Did Han Qing return to look for me?

However, when she looked up, she saw Xiao Su with a deep frown etched across his forehead. He stood in front of her while staring at her and his scowl deepened when he saw her tear-streaked face.

“Xiao Su?” Yan cackled self-deprecatingly when she saw him.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 946

There was a black car parked nearby and Little Bean leaned against the window. His chubby arms pressed against the car window as he stared unblinkingly at the two figures outside. “Daddy, Mr. Xiao went out to see Aunt Yan.”

Ye Moxuan calmly turned to glance out of the window. I know who Xiao Su is now. As for that woman, she must be Muzi’s best friend. However, I have no idea what her relationship is with Xiao Su. Upon considering that, he stated calmly, “What is there to see? Aren’t you hungry? Let’s have our meal first.” I need to go home and have a word with Muzi after feeding this little brat.

Unfortunately, Little Bean was extremely curious and he still leaned against the window while staring at the two figures. Ye Moxuan felt resigned at how intrigued Little Bean was. “Are you not done looking?”

“Daddy, do you think Mr. Xiao is in love with Aunt Yan?”

Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless by his question.

“Will Aunt Yan fall for Mr. Xiao?”

“You can ask your Aunt Yan such a boring question in person.”

Little Bean was at a loss for words at Ye Moxuan’s response. After a short pause, he snorted loudly. Then, he turned around and glared at Ye Moxuan while vehemently commenting, “Daddy, you are such a boring person. No wonder you always hurt Mommy’s feelings!”

Ye Moxuan felt a throbbing headache when he heard that. How is this even related to Muzi and me? My mind is preoccupied by methods to regain my memories. Besides, Muzi and this little brat have been distracting me the rest of the time. How would I have the extra energy or be in the mood to care about the emotions of others?

“Bad daddy! I want to wait for Mr. Xiao to have our meal together!” Then, Little Bean opened the door to get out of the car, but Ye Moxuan stopped him just in time. “Wouldn’t you be disturbing them if you were to approach them now?”

Little Bean exclaimed in surprise, “Huh?”

“Are you sure your sudden appearance now is the best for them if what you said is true?”

Little Bean cocked his head while mulling over the thought. He suddenly felt that what Ye Moxuan said made sense. Hmph! He pulled his hand away while pouting unhappily. I saw Aunt Yan looking very sad earlier. Under normal circumstances, Aunt Yan wouldn’t cry like that. She must have encountered something horrible for her to look so dejected while walking the streets in tears. However, Uncle Han Qing is not here. What could possibly make Aunt Yan so sad and for her to cry uncontrollably?

Little Bean was unable to figure this out and he knew that he couldn’t investigate with Ye Moxuan right beside him. Thus, he had no choice but to leave with Ye Moxuan for lunch. The car started to drive away, but Little Bean stared at the two figures until they were out of sight.

…

“Why are you here?” Yan asked while staring at Xiao Su.

Xiao Su silently stared at her. After a short pause, Yan asked him in amusement, “Why are you staring at me? Is it because I’m ugly right now? Do I look very dumb right now?” Even I find myself ridiculous to fall so blindly for someone. He rejected me openly in the past and even stated that he would never fall for me. However, I clung onto whatever hope there was and ploughed on. I figured as long as Han Qing is not married, I would persevere and stay in love with him until the end of time.

Xiao Su remained tight-lipped as he continued to stare at Yan.

Yan could no longer endure his unwavering, long stare and scolded him after biting on her lower lip, “What are you staring at? You’d better stop looking at me. Have you not seen others in a distressing position? Xiao Su, let me set things straight. Previously, you questioned Muzi and I on why we wanted to return to China because you treated that place as your territory. Are you claiming this area your territory as well? I’m telling you that this is not your territory! Get lost!”

Seeing that he stood still, Yan shoved against him straight away. However, before she could even get her hands on Xiao Su, he held onto her hands first. Yan struggled to free herself, but to no avail. She was stunned by his actions and started to reprimand him ferociously, “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

It was only then that Xiao Su released her wrists. After that, he took a handkerchief out of his pocket to hand it to her. “Wipe it off. Your makeup is smeared.”

Yan was at a loss for words. His statement riled her up further. I’m already feeling so sad and he has the audacity to remind me that my makeup is in a mess! Is he calling me ugly now? She recalled how she had meticulously put on her makeup earlier because she was headed out with Han Qing. She was in a rush, but she did put in her effort. It is… ruined now. Han Qing is gone and my makeup is ruined. The coat is gone too.

Yan slowly reached out to accept the handkerchief from Xiao Su and she started to wipe away the tears across her face mechanically. She wasn’t sure if it was due to the severe cold or her agitation because she did all that she could to wipe her face clean, but it had worsened her makeup.

Xiao Su felt helpless while observing her, so he grabbed her wrist to take the handkerchief from her. “Let me.”

Yan did not resist him and he took the handkerchief away from her to wipe her cheeks. His eyes stared at her face as he wiped her face, cleaning every inch of her skin with caution.

Yan’s tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks all of a sudden. Her tears resembled a broken pearl necklace as they dripped onto the back of Xiao Su’s hand.

He stopped wiping for a while. “What happened?” Why is she walking alone in the streets while crying her eyes out? Besides, why is she so scantily clad? These were Xiao Su’s confused thoughts. Did something horrible happen?

Yan looked up at him with tears in her eyes as she sobbed, “I know that I’m about to request now, sob… is inappropriate, but… sob… can I stay in your arms just for a while?”

Xiao Su hesitated before answering her, “Of—” However, before he completed his sentence, the freezing woman in front of him threw herself into his arms. She slammed against his chest like an ice block and he was instantly overwhelmed by the sudden coldness radiating from her body. She feels even colder than I expected. How long has this girl been freezing in the cold?

Yan started to cry at the top of her voice after throwing herself into Xiao Su’s arms. She unreservedly wiped her tears and snot across Xiao Su’s clothes.

On the other hand, Xiao Su froze like a statue the moment Yan wrapped her arms around him, resembling a puppet that lost its ability to move. Xiao Su wasn’t sure how long she cried for, but just when he felt that his limbs became numb, her weeping gradually faded and was replaced by sobs. He waited patiently for her.

After several minutes, Yan finally looked up at him as her voice was thick with tears. “I’m sorry. Your shirt is soaked in my tears.”

“Don’t worry about that.” Then, Xiao Su took his jacket off swiftly to put it over her shoulders. “Let’s go.” With that, he took her hand and they both left the place. He pulled her into a shop before Yan realized what was going on.

“I’m sure you haven’t had your lunch yet. Why don’t you have something to eat first? You should warm yourself up now.” Xiao Su dragged her to one of the seats. Yan’s eyes were rimmed red with tears and her lips were ghastly white from the cold.

She looked up at Xiao Su who sat in front of her. “Why are you so concerned about me?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 947

Upon listening to Yan’s question, he felt as if he went back to the time when she asked him in the kitchen whether he was in love with her. Xiao Su blushed in a deep shade of red and he summoned the server hastily to order some food.

It was impossible for Yan to order at this moment, so Xiao Su didn’t even ask for her opinion. Instead, he took charge and ordered some food to warm her up before he returned the menu to the server after that.

Xiao Su realized that Yan still stared at him after the server left. She stared at him unwaveringly and looked especially pitiful because her eyes were red and swollen from crying. “You haven’t answered my question,” she stated persistently.

Xiao Su was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he calmly explained to her, “We are acquaintances. Would you have the heart to ignore someone whom you know if you were to see the person crying all alone on the streets?”

As Yan listened to his explanation, she thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. “Ah, I see. That’s great then! For a moment there, I thought… that you’re in love with me,” she commented.

Xiao Su froze before turning to look at her. However, Yan did not meet his gaze and kept her eyes on the table instead. “I will reject you if you confess your feelings to me.”

Xiao Su’s heart clenched in pain and the passion in his eyes faded. Unfortunately, Yan hadn’t noticed the changes in his mood and actions while she continued speaking, “You would be devastated if I were to reject you when you’re truly in love with me. You would most probably end up like me right now. You would feel sad and be in a mess.”

Xiao Su squinted at her as if he realized something important in what she just said. “Just like how you are right now?”

“That’s right. I was just rejected by someone.” Yan looked up at him while intentionally flashing Xiao Su a grin. “Do I look especially pitiful right now? You saw me earlier. It’s horrible to be rejected by someone else, especially when you are head over heels in love with that person.”

Xiao Su suddenly wasn’t sure what he felt. I’m not sure what happened to her. I only rushed toward her to comfort her. However, I’m not good with words, which is why I couldn’t even say anything after approaching her just now. Now, I suddenly learned that she was rejected, but by who, though?

“Thankfully, you treat me as your friend. You’d end up in a sorry state like how I am right now if you were in love with me…” With that, Yan let out a cackle of laughter.

Xiao Su was overwhelmed by the surge of mixed feelings. He silently shifted his hands, which were originally on the table, to place them on his thighs underneath the table. Somehow, he subconsciously clenched his fists. Judging by the looks of it, it seems like she didn’t fall in love recently. In fact, she fell deeply in love with that person.

“How long has it been?” Xiao Su heard himself asking her.

“Huh?” Yan seemed confused by his question.

Xiao Su smiled faintly. “How long were you in love with that person?”

Yan looked as if she was drunk when she lowered her head to count her fingers. Her slow and adorable actions made him want to tightly hug her. After a long pause, Yan finally looked up while answering bitterly, “It’s been almost four years now.”

Xiao Su smirked when he heard that. “Four years, you say?”

After carefully doing the math in his head, he thought to himself, It has been six years since I’ve fallen for Yan. It seems that time really flies by quickly. Time flies by on a daily basis, and if I hadn’t actually calculated the number of years, it still feels as if everything has just happened yesterday, but somehow, it feels out of reach too. Xiao Su felt as though he was in a trance.

“That’s right! It has been four years!” Yan nodded eagerly. “Long, isn’t it? Previously, I didn’t expect to fall for him for such a long time. That’s four years…” She counted her fingers while she remarked, “What a dent it left on my youth! That’s four years of my youth!”

Xiao Su thought to himself, I have been in love with you longer than that. I’m not sure why I fell for Yan. In fact, I find that the feelings I have for her came out of no blue. However, I truly fell for her all those years ago. I sacrificed my life and time for my career, ever since I started working for Young Master Ye. I was exhausted and did not have the time to search for the right candidate when it was time for marriage. I willingly did everything for my career even though my family tried to rush me to settle down. After all, I’m more than ready to put my life on the line for Ye Moxuan. If it hadn’t been for Young Master Ye who helped me back then, I would still be in deep trouble. I might have ended up dead or my family would have perished. Hence, Xiao Su was distressed all those years when he realized that he had feelings for Yan. However, he swiftly suppressed his love for her and buried it deep in his heart. It had been years since he hid his feelings.

When Xiao Su met Yan again after such a long time, his suppressed feelings gradually resurfaced. After that, as they continuously encountered each other, the intensity of him missing her also escalated, which caused his feelings for her to grow again. Xiao Su looked up and focused on Yan once again when he thought of that. Would she accept me if I were to confess my feelings to her? Wouldn’t I be taking advantage of her if I were to do that now?

He clenched his fists tighter, but he released his grip in the end. Forget it. It will be unfair to both of us if I were to confess my love for her right now. I will decide in the future once she has sorted out her feelings since she was just rejected. I will wait for her to give up on this person whom she is in love with. I will try to win her heart once she is emotionally available again. Unfortunately, with my current appearance… I’m not even sure if Yan would fall for me. However, there’s no way of knowing unless I give it a shot.

When the server served their dishes later, Yan ordered some alcohol all of a sudden. The server was stunned before glancing at Xiao Su.

Xiao Su immediately stopped her. “You were under the chilly wind for such a long time. Drinking alcohol is bad for your stomach right now. So, you should have something warm to soothe your stomach before your meal.”

“No.” Yan shook her head. “I want to drink alcohol now.” Then, she stared at Xiao Su. “You don’t know… how upset I am right now.”

Xiao Su paused before reminding, “Your stomach will feel even worse after alcohol and you will end up feeling horrible.”

“It doesn’t matter. I just want to drink some alcohol. Xiao Su, aren’t you my friend? Please go along with me this time, hmm?”

Friend… Xiao Su laughed bitterly in his mind. Am I digging my own grave now? I wouldn’t have mentioned the word ‘friend’ if I knew this was going to happen. She is now holding this over me.

Just when Xiao Su was about to advise her again, Yan made a gesture, as if pleading with him. “I’m begging you. I’ll just drink this once!”

She will drink just this time?! Is once not enough?

“Besides, I’m feeling so cold right now. Don’t you know that alcohol warms your body too?”

Xiao Su had no answer to that, so he helplessly nodded. “Well… you are only allowed to have a little bit to drink. In fact, you have to eat before you drink.”

Yan agreed immediately. Alcohol was served soon after, but Xiao Su couldn’t stop her at all. She ate some food as promised, but she drank a lot. Toward the end, her face was flushed red and she started to ramble non-stop in her drunken stupor!

As such, Xiao Su started to regret his decision to allow her to drink.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 948

Han Muzi was left alone at home after Yan and Han Qing left. The especially cheerful and crowded living room from last night suddenly felt empty, and it appeared especially dull and lifeless.

Han Muzi hesitated before walking toward the bay window to draw the curtains to allow the winter sun light up the living room. The entire apartment felt warmer visually with the copious sunlight. Han Muzi smiled happily, and she phoned Little Bean after her meal. After their phone call, she started feeling sleepy, and so she decided to go back to her room for a nap.

It feels inappropriate to sleep the entire day on the first day of Chinese New Year. It doesn’t matter, come to think of it. I don’t have friends and families here after all. Even if I were to celebrate Chinese New Year back home in China, there aren’t many family members there too.

Hence, after weighing her options, Han Muzi was reassured, and she returned to her bedroom for a nap. She did not have enough time to rest recently, and so she had not been well rested. Besides, she was not able to sleep soundly due to some issues which were bothering her. In any case, everyone is here with me now. I shouldn’t be losing any sleep over anything. Soon, Han Muzi fell sound asleep.

Ye Moxuan returned with Little Bean after their meal, and they even packed some afternoon snacks for Han Muzi. However, Little Bean noticed that Han Muzi was still asleep when he went to check on her in her bedroom. Thus, he closed the door stealthily and placed the snacks on the table. “Daddy, Mommy is still sleeping. You must not disturb her!” Little Bean instructed Ye Moxuan.

Ye Moxuan kept a blank expression; in fact, he did not respond to his son’s stern warnings. Little Bean placed his hands on his hips. “Bad daddy! Did you hear me?”

Ye Moxuan reached out to massage his throbbing temples, and he answered helplessly, “I heard you. I won’t disturb her.” If I were the one who checked on Muzi and realized that she was asleep, I wouldn’t have woken her up either. I’ve heard that pregnant women need more sleep. She slept especially late last night, and so it’s natural for her to sleep in during daytime. However… The thing I have to do on a daily basis from now on…

While lost in his thoughts, Ye Moxuan drummed his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound. After observing Ye Moxuan for a while, Little Bean looked up suddenly to ask him, “Daddy, are you planning something naughty?”

Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan snapped back to reality, and he squinted at Little Bean. He thought in silence, Who would have guessed that my actions did not go unnoticed? He’s my son indeed; he reads me like an open book.

When faced with Little Bean’s trick question, Ye Moxuan responded with a question as well. “What do you think?”

Little Bean blinked several times. “I think you are!”

Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless by his reaction. This little brat doesn’t mind putting his daddy on the spot. In any case, he is my son. I have to accept it even if he wants to trick me. What can I say since I disappointed both mother and son in the past? That is why I have to regain my memories as soon as possible.

…

Han Muzi woke up abruptly because she heard someone shouting. She was deep asleep, but somehow, she heard a woman crying and wailing loudly. She must have been sound asleep, for although she felt the voice was annoying, she couldn’t be bothered about it. Soon, the same voice became louder, and it was so noisy that Han Muzi couldn’t sleep anymore. She woke up with a start, and her mind was wide-awake. Why does this voice… sound so familiar?

Han Muzi stayed in bed for a while, but she then got up abruptly. Then, she put on a jacket before walking out of her room. The voice became louder after she opened the room door.

“Hahaha! Don’t stop me! I’m not drunk; I want to drink more! Let’s drink!!”

The moment Han Muzi opened the door, she saw Yan standing on the couch like a mad woman while raising her phone up, as if she was about to make a toast. Yan’s cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes were unfocused. It was obvious that she was so drunk that she had no idea where she was. She is even holding her phone like a bottle of wine. What is happening? That was Han Muzi’s first thought. Didn’t Yan head out with Han Qing to shop for clothes? They finally had some precious alone time together. Apart from feeling happy for Yan, it was the reason why I felt relieved enough to get some shuteye. Why did she end up coming home so drunk?

Xiao Su, who was standing at the side, was panicking over Yan’s unstable state. He advised Yan patiently to get off the couch while trying to take her phone away. However, Yan smacked away his hand. “You’re not allowed to grab my drink! Don’t even think about it!” With that, Yan hugged her phone tightly. “The liquor is mine! It’s mine! None of you can take it away from me!” The both of them were swept into chaos.

On the other side of the room, both father and son observed the situation indifferently. Ye Moxuan and Little Bean were sitting far away from Yan. They sat there with a blank expression, as if they were oblivious to the ruckus Yan was causing. It was rare to see both father and son wearing similar expressions while moving in sync. No one would have expected such a thing under the current circumstances.

However, the two of them shifted slightly when they saw Han Muzi walking out of her room. Before they could react, she walked into the living room while asking in annoyance, “What is going on?”

The living room turned dead silent at her sudden question. Yan, who was acting like a drunkard, quieted immediately while turning to look at Han Muzi.

“Yan, why did you drink so much? Why are you standing so high up anyway? Get down now!”

Yan stood there blankly while cradling her phone, and she stared at Han Muzi for a very long time. Suddenly, her eyes gleamed brightly, as though she had spotted some sort of treasure. Then, Yan jumped off the couch suddenly, and she charged toward Han Muzi. She was quick, and everyone did not expect her to charge at Han Muzi.

Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes menacingly and stood up abruptly. However, there was a significant distance between him and Han Muzi, whereas Yan had already arrived in front of her. If she bumps into Muzi…

“Get out of the way!” Ye Moxuan bellowed.

Han Muzi didn’t think much of it in the beginning, but she panicked when Ye Moxuan yelled at her. However, she couldn’t dodge in time after all. Yan was barely a feet away from Han Muzi when a pair of hands grabbed hold of Yan. Yan’s movements stopped abruptly.

Han Muzi looked up at the person who did that. “Qing?” When did he come back? Why didn’t I see him just now? Where did he show up from?

Han Qing grabbed hold of Yan’s sleeves to stop her from charging forward. Yan stopped struggling after a while, and she turned toward the person holding her captive with an iron grip. She was snarling initially, but her expression softened drastically when she saw that it was Han Qing.

Xiao Su, who was approaching them, noticed the sudden change in Yan, and so he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at Han Qing. Han Qing is Young Lady Ye’s older brother, and he is also the President of Han Group. Previously, I assumed that Yan must have fallen in love with someone she met abroad. However, right now… it seems that the person might be Young Lady Ye’s older brother, Han Qing.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 949

What a coincidence.

Xiao Su’s gaze darkened, and he pursed his lips together while approaching Yan. He glared at her sudden obedient façade while barking at her, “Are you done acting like a drunkard?”

Yan did not have the courage to answer him.

Xiao Su reached out to tug at her arm.

Hence, Han Muzi was presented with a dramatic scene.

Xiao Su and Han Qing were holding onto the woman’s arm on each side. Han Muzi suddenly felt as though she was watching a drama with two men fighting over a beautiful woman.

Han Muzi blinked several times, and she took a couple of steps back, but she bumped into someone’s chest.

Ye Moxuan reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist automatically to protect her in his embrace. Then, he whispered at her, “You should keep your distance from her when she acts like a drunkard. Go in and rest now.”

Ye Moxuan led her back into the room without waiting for an answer.

Little Bean followed them from behind, and his face contorted into a snarl.

“Bad daddy! How dare you take mommy away when I was distracted! Stand right there!”

Nevertheless, he was greeted with a loud bang of the room door closing.

Little Bean was locked out of the room. Meanwhile, Han Muzi did not realize what was happening when she heard Ye Moxuan locking the room door with a loud click.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his actions.

What is this bastard trying to pull in broad daylight? Besides, there are so many people out there. I can’t believe he took me into the room openly while leaving Little Bean locked outside.

Even if we aren’t doing anything in the room, those who are outside will assume that we are doing something unspeakable…

Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name then.

“Bad daddy! Open the door! What are you doing to my mommy? Mommy, open the door! I will beat bad daddy up!” Little Bean yelled on the other side of the door, and it made Han Muzi utterly ashamed. I’m already embarrassed with a child yelling on the other side of the door, not to mention Qing and Xiao Su, who are both outside.

How should I face them in the future?

Hence, Han Muzi reached out when she snapped back to her senses. She wanted to unlock the door, but Ye Moxuan gripped her wrist while speaking to her in a quiet voice, “Don’t open the door.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response.

She shot him a warning look. “What are you doing? Didn’t you see what was going on outside?”

“I did.”

Ye Moxuan smiled faintly after saying that, and he grabbed her hands while approaching her slowly. Han Muzi felt his palpable aura inching closer to her.

“I saw what was happening outside, and that is why I want to… take advantage of the chaos right now.”

T-Take advantage of the chaos?

Han Muzi was just about to ask what he was taking advantage of amidst the chaos when she saw Ye Moxuan’s face inching closer to her. Then, he started kissing her firmly.

Han Muzi was stunned to silence.

Is this what he is referring to by taking advantage of the chaos???

Han Muzi felt incredulous at that moment.

Ye Moxuan was pressing against her from the front with his scorching body, but her back was squashed against the cold and hard room door. Furthermore, there were sounds of intermittent knocking and yelling from Little Bean.

Han Muzi was distracted throughout the kiss, and it didn’t feel good at all.

Thus, she pushed Ye Moxuan away while gasping for air. “There are people outside. Do you want to embarrass me?”

Ye Moxuan chuckled when he heard that. “So what if there are people out there? They don’t have the time to care about us.”

“Even if they do not have the time to care about us, Little Bean is still outside.”

“It’s a punishment,” Ye Moxuan hissed.

Han Muzi looked at him questioningly.

What punishment?

Ye Moxuan’s gaze darkened upon mentioning this. Han Muzi felt his hot breath against her cheeks.

“Did you forget about it? Who was the one who mentioned on the phone that she loves him more than she does me?”

“You can’t possibly be jealous of your own son, right?” Han Muzi hesitated before asking him. She stared at Ye Moxuan in disbelief, but she seemed ready to flash him a disgusted look if he were to admit that he was jealous of his own son.

However, I can’t care less if she looks down on me because right now… I just want to conquer her.

Ye Moxuan squinted at her upon that thought, and his eyes turned frosty suddenly.

“I am the most important man in your life. Even my son can’t compare to me. I come first; he comes next.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his reaction.

He is truly jealous over Little Bean. Did he pull me into the room and claim that he wants to take advantage of the chaos because I mentioned over the phone that I love Little Bean the most?

Han Muzi wasn’t sure if Little Bean could hear her through the door, and so she explained in hushed tones, “Why are you acting like a child? How old is Little Bean, and how old are you? He is a child; are you one too?”

Despite what she said, Ye Moxuan insisted nonetheless, “I must be the first in your heart.”

Little Bean wailed loudly from the other side of the door because he heard Ye Moxuan’s voice.

Han Muzi might have lowered her voice, but Ye Moxuan did not. On the contrary, he raised his voice to ensure that Little Bean could hear him.

That little brat was so gleeful when he made fun of me. In the end, he insulted me several times.

I’d like to see how he handles the feeling of being locked out of the room.

Little Bean knocked against the door violently. “Mommy, don’t listen to bad daddy. You love me the most! Mommy, please open the door. I want to come in.”

Ye Moxuan was right, for apart from Little Bean, no one outside had the time to care about them because Yan had started acting up again. However, this time, her target was Han Qing.

She threw herself at Han Qing suddenly while calling him ‘daddy’.

Han Qing wanted to push her away, but she wrapped her limbs around him like an octopus. She started yelling things like, “Daddy, I missed you so much.”

Xiao Su noticed that Han Qing’s expression darkened, and he knew that he must look upset himself as well.

Han Muzi couldn’t open the door because Ye Moxuan had clasped her hands together. He gazed into her eyes deeply, as if unwilling to let go of her unless she agreed with him.

She had no choice but to admit hastily, “You are the first, followed by Little Bean. Are you happy now? Let go of me this instant! Little Bean is getting anxious waiting for me.”

Then, Han Muzi released herself from Ye Moxuan’s grip to open the door.

Little Bean barged into the room like a bull the moment the door cracked open. “Bad daddy, you had better come out.”

Ye Moxuan smiled gleefully because he was convinced that Little Bean heard what Han Muzi said. “Sure, let’s resolve this in private, just between the two of us as father and son.”

He reached out to pick Little Bean up before walking in the opposite direction.

Han Muzi was rendered speechless when she saw that.

She was about to say something, but after opening the room door, she saw her brother trapped in a horrible situation. Hence, she decided to ignore Ye Moxuan and Little Bean for now to handle Yan.

Yan was still acting out, and Xiao Su snapped back to reality when he saw Han Muzi approaching them.

“Young Lady Ye.”

“How much has she had to drink? Let’s get her into the room, and I will look after her.”

“N.” Han Qing rejected Han Muzi’s suggestion straight away while frowning deeply. “You are pregnant now, and she might hurt you while acting out like a drunkard.”

Han Muzi paused before asking, “Then what should we do?”

“Allow me.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 950

Xiao Su answered promptly.

Han Muzi was stunned to silence, and she did a double take at him. She obviously did not expect Xiao Su to offer his help.

After observing the determined look in Xiao Su’s gaze and expression, a thought flashed across Han Muzi’s mind. However, she felt that it was impossible, and so she dismissed it as soon as it appeared.

After saying that, Xiao Su walked toward Han Qing’s side to take Yan away from his arms.

Han Qing, who was about to say something earlier, stopped himself just in time since Xiao Su volunteered. Han Qing lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes shielded his true emotions. Then, he handed Yan to Xiao Su in silence.

“Ah! Don’t abandon me! Sob, sob…. Please don’t abandon me. I really… love you…”

Everyone felt embarrassed all of a sudden after hearing her say that.

Xiao Su grabbed onto Yan’s arms, and he yanked hard to pull Yan, who was struggling, into an embrace. She seemed exhausted, and she wasn’t even sure who was supporting her now. She merely closed her eyes and leaned backward.

Xiao Su noticed that, and he immediately supported her waist to pick her up in a princess carry.

“Young Lady Ye, President Han, I will look after her. I will keep you updated if anything crops up.”

Then, he turned around to leave.

Han Muzi stared at his back view.

If the idea I had earlier seemed vague, I’d say it’s clearer than ever now.

It turns out that Xiao Su is in love with Yan.

When did this start? Why had I been oblivious to it?

Did I not pay enough attention to Yan? Or did Xiao Su hide his feelings too well?

Something struck Han Muzi, and she turned abruptly to face her older brother, Han Qing.

Han Qing stared at Xiao Su’s back view while seemingly deep in thought.

“Qing?”

Han Qing turned to look at her when he heard her. Han Muzi observed him, but she realized that he seemed unperturbed; in fact, his gaze seemed void of emotions.

Han Muzi couldn’t help but feel utterly disappointed when she saw that.

Yan is so in love with Han Qing. Nevertheless, another man is carrying her away, yet Han Qing seems unfazed. Does… Yan not stand a chance at all?

More importantly, wasn’t he moved at all by Yan’s feelings for him all this while?

“Qing, don’t you fancy Yan at all?”

Han Qing appeared calm when he replied to Han Muzi, “Is there a reason for me to fancy her?”

Han Muzi realized that she didn’t have an answer for him, and so she asked him back, “What is the reason for you not to fancy her?”

Han Qing looked away, and he answered flatly, “Feelings are not important to me.”

My calling is to find my missing younger sister and shoulder the burden of the Han Family. Besides…

Han Qing’s gaze darkened when he was reminded by that, and he remained silent.

However, Han Muzi was frustrated at him for brushing her off by claiming that feelings weren’t important to him. She exclaimed in frustration, “What do you mean by feelings aren’t important to you? If your excuse is that you’ve been single all this while because you were searching for me, I can tell you right now that you’ve found me, so you should start your own family. I don’t want to see you all alone when I have my own family, Qing… it’s not that you dislike Yan, so you can—“

Han Qing cut her off with a laugh, “If you are afraid that I’ll end up alone, you should have more children and give one to me.”

Han Qing was smiling faintly, his tone light and playful, but Han Muzi could tell that he was not joking at all.

Maybe Han Qing is really considering adopting one of my children. In that case… is he planning not to get married and not have children for the rest of his life?

I wouldn’t care what he thinks if he weren’t my family, but he is my own brother. Besides, he treats me with generosity and love. Han Muzi felt her heart break when she thought of that.

I was born in the modern era and have received education in an advanced civilization. Thus, I’m all for freedom when it comes to love and marriage, even if it means that Han Qing chooses not to get married. I, as his younger sister, could only give my blessings.

However, I somehow feel as if Han Qing has other reasons.

“Qing, what is the reason?”

Han Muzi was about to persist with her questions, but Han Qing already turned around to leave. “I checked the place out, and there aren’t extra bedrooms in the apartment, so I’m planning to stay in a hotel.”

Stay in a hotel?

Han Muzi was stumped. “Are you planning to stay in a hotel alone?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Han Muzi felt her heart clenching painfully, and she just couldn’t utter a word. My brother traveled all the way here, but he’s planning to stay in a hotel all alone. She bit her lower lip and was about to stop him when she realized with a start that there truly weren’t extra bedrooms to accommodate him.

“Hang on.” Ye Moxuan broke the silence suddenly. Han Muzi and Han Qing turned to him, and they saw Ye Moxuan putting his jacket on. He was holding his car keys when he explained, “There aren’t many rooms in the apartment. Your brother can take my room, and Little Bean will share a room with you. Xiao Su and I will leave.”

Han Muzi frowned because it seemed as if he had already decided without asking her. “What about you?”

“Xiao Su and I will stay in a hotel.”

Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his response.

Ye Moxuan shot Han Qing a cold and aloof stare. Nevertheless, this man is my wife’s older brother after all, which means that he’s my brother-in-law.

Addressing him as brother-in-law seems…

Ye Moxuan scowled deeply, but he nodded at Han Qing despite the initial embarrassment. “Brother-in-law.”

Han Qing was at a loss for words by Ye Moxuan’s greeting.

Who would have expected that the proud man, who once tried negotiating with me, would now address me as his brother-in-law? What is this subtle yet strange feeling I’m having?

Nevertheless, Han Qing did not let Ye Moxuan down since he knew that Ye Moxuan was trying to be nice. Thus, he nodded in acknowledgement.

Then, Han Muzi went ahead to help Ye Moxuan pack his clothes. She suggested while packing, “Why don’t I… take Little Bean along to stay with you in the hotel? We can let the rest of them stay in the apartment. Each one of them would have a room to themself.”

Han Muzi was suddenly amazed by her wisdom after she suggested that. I should have thought of that sooner. Isn’t this the perfect solution?

However, Ye Moxuan rejected her proposal straight away. “No.”

“Why not?”

“You are pregnant now, so you should not overexert yourself.”

Han Muzi retorted unhappily, “I’m just going to stay in the hotel with you. How is that overexerting myself? Besides, we don’t have to look for a hotel that is too far away; we just have to choose one nearby. I think it’s rather convenient.”

Ye Moxuan thought of the things he needed to do next, and his gaze darkened immediately.

Muzi would notice very soon if I were to take her along.

Hence, I can’t take her with me. Ye Moxuan tilted her chin up. “Are you dying to spend some alone time with me? Is that why you’re trying to come with me?”

Han Muzi was speechless when he said that.

We were having a proper discussion. Why is he flirting with me all of a sudden? Han Muzi smacked his hand away while speaking to him with a stern expression, “I’m talking to you about a serious matter. I think my suggestion is good, so you should consider it now. Besides, I’m taking good care of my unborn baby, and I know I’m not overexerting myself.”

Ye Moxuan started placing his clothes into his suitcase as he stated, “We are going along with my initial decision. I will return tomorrow morning.”

Han Muzi was slightly disappointed. It seems like he has made up his mind.
