Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 951

In the evening, Old Master Yuchi sent Yu Bo over to invite everyone for dinner at the Yuchi residence. Yu Bo explained, “Yesterday was the last day of the lunar year, and it’s a festival that we celebrate. Though we couldn’t gather yesterday, it’s the same if we gather today.”

Dinner at the Yuchi residence?

Han Muzi hesitated.

Yu Bo smiled slightly and explained gently, “Old Master has already sent someone to pick Miss An up.”

Han Muzi thought about it and asked, “Mr. Yu, so you’re saying that Aunty Song has agreed?”

When she saw that he had nodded, Han Muzi knew that she had to go to this dinner. However, now that Yan was so drunk, she definitely couldn’t join them, and someone had to stay back to take care of her.

At this moment, Xiao Su walked out from the room, frowning. “Something’s wrong with Yan.”

Upon hearing that, Han Muzi’s expression changed immediately. She quickly walked into the room to sit beside Yan.

“What’s wrong?”

Xiao Su walked over to them. “I thought she was just drunk, but she kept saying nonsense just now, and I saw her starting to sweat. After putting my hand on her forehead, I think she is running a fever.”

Fever…

That aside, what actually happened? Why was she so drunk when she returned with you?”

Xiao Su paused for a moment before saying, “Young Lady, when I met her on the streets, not only was she wearing very little, she was crying a lot as well. I felt that something was wrong, so I brought her to a restaurant to eat something. Toward the end, she told me that she wanted to drink, and I didn’t manage to stop her from drinking.”

When Han Muzi heard Xiao Su’s explanation, her frown tightened. Yan went out with Han Qing, but when Xiao Su met her, she was already alone. On top of that, according to Xiao Su’s description, Han Qing probably did or said something that hurt her.

Why did everything turn out this way?

Seeing the way Yan looked right now, Han Muzi also felt upset. She thought that this was a good opportunity for Yan to be alone with Han Qing this time, but she had never expected that Yan would be hurt so badly.

Could it be that this matter is too forced?

Thinking of this, Han Muzi remained silent and only nodded to Xiao Su to indicate that she understood the matter now.

Noticing the change in her expression, Xiao Su guessed that Han Muzi probably understood what had happened. After all, they had been good friends for a long time, and they had been together for all these years. Hence, how could she not know about Yan’s thoughts?

It seems like I don’t have to say anything more.

“Let her fever recede first. You’ve been taking care of her for quite long already. I’ll take over now.”

Xiao Su shot another glance at Yan. However, he just nodded and left the room without saying anything else.

After Xiao Su left, Han Muzi tried to cool down her fever physically. In the midst of doing that, she remembered that Yu Bo was still waiting for her in the living room, so she went out and explained, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Yu. I also intended to go over, but Yan is running a fever now. If we go with you, there would be no one else to take care of her here. So… I think I won’t go over tonight.”

Yu Bo had never expected that this would happen at such timing, but he also understood the situation. He didn’t say much and just looked at the others.

“What about Young Master Xuan and Little Young Master?”

After thinking about it, Han Muzi suddenly smiled. “Let Little Bean and Moxuan go.”

Yuchi Jin put on the facade of wanting to invite them for dinner, but in reality, he just wanted to see Little Bean.

The way he came here made it obvious that he was just trying to see his great-grandson. However, he didn’t get what he wanted in the end, so when he went back, he must have felt upset and was longing to see him even more.

After all, before he could say anything to his great-grandson, he had already fainted last night.

As for me? He will definitely be elated if I don’t go.

When Yu Bo saw Han Muzi’s openness, he touched his nose in a rather awkward fashion and explained, “Young Lady Ye, I understand your thoughts. But now, Old Master can accept things better. According to my understanding of him after so many years, even if he doesn’t want to, he has already accepted you as his granddaughter-in-law. He just appears to not act like that because of his pride, so—”

Han Muzi smiled slightly. “Mr. Yu, you don’t have to explain anymore. I know about all these.”

Yu Bo nodded in relief.

Indeed, from her attitude toward Old Master, it’s quite obvious that she still respects him even though his attitude is insufferable.

Judging from her character alone, this is rare and vital enough.

“But I can’t decide for them. Can you please go and ask them about this, Mr. Yu? If they are not willing to go, I can’t force them to do anything.”

Yu Bo nodded. “Indeed, indeed. I shall ask them, then.”

“Alright.”

With that, Han Muzi went into the room to take care of Yan. After a while, Little Bean went into her room to look for her.

“Mommy, aren’t you going to great-grandfather’s place with me?”

As soon as Little Bean entered the room, he asked this question. Only after that did he notice that something was wrong with Yan, who was lying on the bed. He let out a confused hum before asking, “Mommy, what’s wrong with Aunt Yan?”

Initially, everyone thought that Yan was just drunk, so they didn’t think too much about it.

But now…

After Han Muzi changed another wet towel for her, she replied, “Aunt Yan is running a fever, and she is not feeling well. I can’t leave her like this.”

Little Bean went silent upon hearing that.

“So I can’t join you to go to your great-grandfather’s place. If you want to go, you’ll have to go with daddy.”

However, upon hearing that, Little Bean wrinkled his nose. “But daddy rejected the offer.”

Han Muzi froze. “He rejected it?”

This is… pretty weird.

After thinking about it, it was also quite reasonable that he didn’t want to see Yuchi Jin.

“Then what are you going to do? Do you still want to see your great-grandfather? If you want, ask Mr. Yu to take you there, and daddy will pick you up later.”

Little Bean thought about it seriously in front of her. “In that case, I’ll be going to see him. Great-grandfather is always alone in the house, so he must be quite lonely. You’ll just have to take good care of Aunt Yan!”

“Alright.” Hearing his reply, Han Muzi smiled and pinched Little Bean’s soft cheeks. “You are the best, Little Bean. Off you go to accompany your great-grandfather. Remember to put in some good words for me. When he approves of me, we can have a meal together happily as a family.”

When that time arrives, as long as everyone is happy, every meal could be a reunion dinner.

There’s no need to care about such festivities that would only last for a few days.

When Little Bean heard that, he nodded fervently.

“Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll definitely change his opinion of you and make him like you!”

Uhm…

Han Muzi thought about it. Indeed, Little Bean has the ability to charm elderly people. I shouldn’t underestimate him.

Though he was young, his mind was precocious, and he had a lot of weird tricks up his sleeves.

Han Muzi didn’t have many special opportunities in her life, but the existence of Little Bean brought about a streak of luck for her.

In fact, Little Bean was her lucky charm.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 952

When Yu Bo picked Little Bean up, he thought emotionally, Old Master just wanted to see this great-grandson. When he knew that he has a great-grandson, and that the little guy is this big already, he was so agitated.

Unexpectedly, he became overexcited, and he actually fainted because of that!

Hence, before they arrived, Yuchi Jin already asked the kitchen to prepare a scrumptious meal. However, only the little guy came.

Nevertheless, he was enough to solve the deep problem hidden within everyone.

After all, only after hearing that Little Bean was going did Song An agree to join as well.

When Ye Moxuan found out that Han Muzi was taking care of Yan, he frowned immediately as he didn’t agree to her way of doing things.

Han Muzi kept reassuring him that she was fine, but Ye Moxuan carried her in his arms back to their room immediately.

“Put me down! Who’s going to take care of Yan if I don’t? She’s running a fever now!”

Ye Moxuan put her in the bathroom and said sullenly, “You are pregnant now. She’s gotten a cold and fever; what if you are infected by her? Can you take any medicines now?”

Han Muzi paused for a moment before replying, “It’s not that easy to get infected.”

“Do you think I don’t know how frail your body is?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes and shoved her into the bathroom. “Take a shower first to wash away all the germs. As for your friend, I will ask the family doctor to take care of her.”

Han Muzi wanted to protest in the beginning, but after she heard the word ‘doctor’, she calmed down immediately.

After all, a professional doctor would know much more than she did. If a doctor was going to take care of Yan, she had no further complaints. Hence, Han Muzi stopped arguing with Ye Moxuan, but she added, “In that case… I’ll take a shower first. Remember to fetch Little Bean home later.”

Ye Moxuan nodded. “Okay.”

With that, he even turned around to take some clean clothes for her before leaving.

As soon as he closed the door, Ye Moxuan called the family doctor of the Yuchi family, who was quite close to him. This doctor was the one who had been taking care of him when he woke up after sustaining the serious injuries.

After some time, he became friendly with this doctor.

The doctor arrived soon after he had made the call, and Xiao Su brought him to Yan’s room before leaving with Ye Moxuan.

When Han Qing, who was sitting at the couch, saw Ye Moxuan’s actions, he couldn’t help asking, “Where are you going?”

Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan froze and turned around to look at the man, whom he was supposed to address by ‘brother-in-law’, and his expression became more unnatural again.

“I’m going to book a hotel room.”

Han Qing raised his eyes slightly. “You can do that online.”

He was actually hinting Ye Moxuan that this matter didn’t have to be so rushed.

Though Han Qing didn’t say that explicitly, smart people would know what he meant. Hence, when Ye Moxuan heard that, he narrowed his eyes slightly at Han Qing, and even Xiao Su, who was standing beside them, shot a glance at Han Qing.

Does he know already?

Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan smiled slightly and spoke his mind.

“I have some matters to deal with. I will leave Muzi… under your care, brother-in-law.”

Han Qing was silent upon hearing that.

When he heard Ye Moxuan addressing him as ‘brother-in-law’, his lips moved, as though he was suffering from cramps. After a while, he returned to normal and flipped through his newspaper without saying anything else, looking as though he was reading it attentively.

Ye Moxuan knew that Han Qing had agreed to that, so he didn’t say anything else and left with Xiao Su.

When Han Muzi finished her shower, she realized that only Han Qing was left in the living room. After saying hello to him, she directly went into Yan’s room.

The doctor was already taking care of Yan inside, and he greeted Han Muzi as soon as she arrived.

After some small talk, they already knew who each other was.

After a while, Han Muzi asked, “Doctor, how’s my friend? Is her fever serious?”

He nodded. “Indeed, her fever is quite high. The weather has been quite cold recently, so it’s better to take care of yourself. Otherwise, if the fever gets too serious, her lungs might be injured.”

His last sentence shocked Han Muzi greatly.

She had indeed seen other people’s lungs get punctured of high fever, but that was an incredibly serious case. Yan’s situation now shouldn’t be that serious.

“So, how is she doing now? When will her fever go down?”

The doctor packed his stuff while he uttered, “It’s not too serious in her case. I believe that her fever will recede in a while, but she has been saying nonsense all this while.”

Han Muzi looked at Yan again in silence. After standing there for a while, she realized that there was nothing she could do, so she returned to her room.

When she passed by the living room, Han Muzi couldn’t help stopping to look at Han Qing.

She remembered the words Xiao Su had told her.

She also had a lot of questions to ask him, but so what if she did?

“What’s wrong?”

When Han Qing realized that Han Muzi was staring at him blankly, he put down his newspaper to ask her this question.

Han Muzi bit her lips and spoke, “Yan has a fever. Aren’t you worried at all?”

Han Qing paused for a moment before asking, “Why should I worry about her?”

There’s a doctor taking care of her there. Is there anything I should worry about?

His reply disappointed Han Muzi, who looked exasperated.

“If I remember correctly, you asked her out, didn’t you?”

Han Qing remained silent.

“In the end, she came back drunk, and now, she even has a fever. You brought her out, yet you didn’t take good care of her. How could you sit here reading the newspaper without feeling guilty at all? Qing, I know you don’t fancy her, but no matter how cold you are, you shouldn’t be so ruthless!”

Han Qing still remained silent.

Probably it was because he had never expected that Han Muzi would flare up, so he remained stunned, and he couldn’t find any words to reply to her.

“Qing, I’m really disappointed in you this time.”

Han Qing finally opened his mouth flatly. “Then what do you think I should do, Muzi? I already know that it’s impossible for us to be together, yet should I still give her hope and let her sink deeper into this mess?”

With that, he paused and looked in Yan’s direction with ruthlessness and coldness in his eyes.

“In my opinion, it’s better to feel the pain all at once instead of dragging it out. Only after letting her know clearly will she know that I’m not the one for her.”

Han Muzi paused before spitting, “Whatever.”

With that, Han Muzi turned around to go back to her room and closed the door.

Han Qing was left alone in the quiet living room. His gaze became more profound, but he soon retracted it and continued reading the newspaper, as if nothing had happened.

Apart from kinship, he knew that people like him shouldn’t yearn for anything more.

When Han Muzi returned to the room, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask where Ye Moxuan had gone. Even if he wanted to stay somewhere else, she figured he didn’t have to leave so urgently.

It was as if he had something to deal with.

Han Muzi complained about Ye Moxuan internally and felt a little hungry.

However, there was only Han Qing and her in the house right now.

She knew that Han Qing definitely hadn’t eaten anything, but she was so furious at him at this moment that she didn’t feel like going out anymore.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 953

After thinking about it, Han Muzi snuggled in her bed to sleep. It was good to stay hungry for a while since she ate quite a lot during the day and her appetite wasn’t usually voracious. After she got pregnant, she ate and slept a lot more than usual. She knew that she had to restrain herself.

Han Muzi comforted herself this way. Initially, she thought that she would be unable to fall asleep because of her hunger, but she drifted off to sleep a short while after her head hit the pillow.

Han Qing remained seated at the couch in the living room. He had already finished reading through the newspaper, but he still continued to flip through it. He had no idea how long he had been reading that with seconds and minutes ticking by since.

Creak! The doctor walked out as he opened the door of the room. When she saw the empty room, she paused for a while before her eyes landed on Han Qing, who looked at the doctor as well.

Their gaze met mid-air and Han Qing stood up in the next second. “Doctor?”

“Hello.”

Han Qing looked at the room behind her. “How’s everything?”

The doctor had not noticed Ye Moxuan, but she didn’t find this peculiar at all. After all, this was not the Yuchi residence, so the people here must be Ye Moxuan’s friends instead. While thinking about this, she said, “Her fever is coming down as we speak. Based on my experience, I believe that she will recover soon enough. When her fever has finally receded, she just has to keep warm. There won’t be any further problems.”

“And by the way…” She walked to Han Qing to give him a bag. “These are the medications that she’ll have to take after this. If you are free, please let her know that she should take these and I have already written the instructions on the packets.”

Han Qing politely took over the bag and bowed to the doctor before sending her out. When he returned to the house, he looked at the bag that the doctor had just given him. Seeing that there were a few boxes of medications inside it, Han Qing pursed his lips. After some hesitation, he strode into the room.

In the room, Yan quietly lay on her back with a thick blanket on her. Only her face was flushed in a faded shade of pink due to her fever. Although her cheeks were red, her lips were pale. She looked weak and sickly.

Han Qing walked to her steadily and bent over slightly to put the bag on the desk near her bed. Now that the medicine was placed next to her and the doctor was gone, there was nothing else for him to do here. He could have left right after he left the medicines there. However… Han Qing stood to the ground without moving an inch. After a while, he turned around slowly and looked at Yan’s face nonchalantly.

Under the faint lighting, Yan’s facial features were quite exquisite. She was not the type who looked beautiful at a first glance and she didn’t even have a feminine appeal at all. Her figure was quite bony with her expression and looks resembling that of a young girl. The energetic look when she smiled and her obstinate character even after being rejected was something that he had never encountered. It was quite impossible to say that he wasn’t moved by her at all.

Han Qing had long buried the emotional part of him in his mind. Ever since that incident happened, he no longer focused on love and relationship at all and thought that fate was something he couldn’t ask for. After that, he dedicated his entire life and soul into searching for his sister. As time passed, he no longer knew what love was anymore. It was not that no other women had expressed their feelings to him, but Yan was the first one to love so deeply and tortured herself to this extent. Because of that, Han Qing started to treat his relationships a little more seriously.

When such thoughts flitted across Han Qing’s mind, he realized that he had already sat down by Yan’s bedside when he returned to his senses. Then, he looked at Yan, who was in deep sleep, without uttering a single word. Dozens of seconds passed just like that.

Yan, who had been sleeping, suddenly sobbed. Tears rolled down from her tightly-shut eyes to the soft pillows, disappearing into the cotton. Han Qing lifted his hands subconsciously to wipe the tears off. When his hands were about to touch her tears, he suddenly thought of something and wanted to retract his arms.

However, right at this moment, Yan suddenly opened her eyes as if she had felt something. Tears swam in her beautiful eyes and she froze for a moment when she saw Han Qing before grabbing his hand. “Han Qing, you’re such a bad fellow! How can you do this to me? I like you so much… so, so much… Would it kill you to like me back? I-It won’t hurt you to like me back. Why won’t you even at least try?” Yan said, in between sobs.

Han Qing’s expression immediately darkened as he didn’t expect that she would suddenly wake up. She even saw him and where he placed his hands just now. If she misunderstood him because of this and refused to give up, what should he do if she became more intense with her actions? Thinking of this, Han Qing’s frown deepened and he tried to apply force to withdraw his hands from Yan.

“N-No… Don’t…” When Yan saw that he was about to take his hands away, she hugged his entire arm tightly after getting out of the bed. “I know I’m wrong. I shouldn’t say such nonsense. Please don’t be angry with me…”

Han Qing remained quiet upon hearing that. He had not expected that she would suddenly get out of her bed. When he wanted to pull his arm away from her, he was worried that she might catch a cold. After all, she still ran a temperature. What if her fever becomes more serious? In exasperation, Han Qing only said, “Let go of me and lie back.”

When Yan heard that, she fervently shook her head with tears still in her eyes.

Han Qing frowned and ordered, “Listen to me!”

When his tone became more stern, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. “How can you do this to me? Isn’t this in my dream? Why… Why do you still order me so fiercely in my dream?”

Han Qing was speechless upon hearing that. So she thinks this is a dream. The fever must have confused her to think that this is a dream.

However, this was even more sorrowful for Yan because her subconscious probably realized that he would only take the initiative to visit her in her dreams. Indeed, Yan hugged his arms in the next second and pitifully said, “I’m already ill yet you would only visit me in my dreams. Since you are here, can’t you say something nice to me?”

When Han Qing heard that, his lips twitched. Say something nice? How do I do that?

When Yan saw that Han Qing had no reaction, she immediately felt miserable and tears rolled down her cheeks again. “Can’t you do that? I thought I’m the master of my dreams? I’m only asking you to say something nice to me. You are so fierce to me usually and I don’t even complain about that.”

This again… Han Qing felt troubled by this as this scenario seemed to be quite familiar. A long time ago, when Yan was drunk, she would also throw tantrums. She was doing the same thing again now that she was both drunk and under the weather.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 954

Regardless of whether she thought that this was a dream or something else, Han Qing didn’t do what she asked him to and instead said nothing.

In the end, Yan was upset about that and snuggled close to him. She thought, Since this is my dream anyway. In reality, there’s nothing I can do to him, but now that I’m in my dream, I can finally do something. Hence, Yan started to cause trouble with everything she had. “You are such a bad person. I asked you to say something nice to me yet you can’t agree to that. Now, you even dare to come into my dreams! During the day, when you left me alone, I dare not take revenge against you for that. Now… I want to settle the score with you once and for all!”

She tugged at Han Qing with her limbs and he only tried to avoid her. However, not long after that, she clung onto him like an octopus with her arms around his neck. “You evil man! How dare you leave me alone without saying anything! Apologize to me!”

Han Qing was exhausted with the scene she was throwing. He lowered his head and heaved a sigh before asking, “Didn’t you ask the shop worker to let me know to leave first?”

Upon hearing that, Yan immediately widened her eyes. “You’ll leave just because I asked you to? Don’t you know that girls don’t mean what they say, especially to the people whom they like?”

Han Qing remained silent upon hearing that. In all honesty, he really didn’t know about that. How could he figure out what a woman thought?

“I don’t care! You’ve abandoned me and I want to settle the score with you!” Looking at the handsome face right in front of her, Yan became braver. Since he has already rejected me, it’s not too much to kiss him in my dreams. Thinking of this, Yan puckered her lips as she inched toward Han Qing.

His expression changed immediately as he turned his face away and the kiss fell gently on his cheeks. “Argh! You’re not allowed to avoid me!” When Yan didn’t manage to kiss him, she growled loudly and prepared to kiss him again.

Han Qing pinched her chin and asked her not to fool around in a cold voice, “If you continue with this, I’ll knock you out right here.”

Yan stopped and no longer made a scene. However, she returned to her pitiful look with tears in her eyes. She returned to the bed and wiped her tears off, sobbing, “I’m really miserable. No matter if it’s reality or if it’s in my dream, you never treat me well.” She wiped the tears off her face forcefully and turned her back to him. “Leave.”

Han Qing chose to keep quiet. Seeing her small body curled into a ball, he had no idea on what else to say in that moment and only sighed. “Lie back down and cover yourself in the blanket. After that, I’ll leave.”

Yan remained still until Han Qing tugged on her hand. She suddenly erupted and yelled loudly, “Stop entering my dream, will you? I asked you to leave! I didn’t ask you to show your concern to me! Stop being such a hypocrite here! During the day, didn’t you ignore me so effortlessly? Why are you putting on a facade here?”

Upon hearing that, Han Qing’s expression turned cold, making Yan nervous. Isn’t this my dream? Why does Han Qing feel so real? Is it possible that Han Qing couldn’t be controlled by me even in my dream? This is too powerful! At this point, Yan didn’t dare to say another word.

“I didn’t leave,” Han Qing narrowed his eyes as he replied coldly.

Yan froze. “Y-You didn’t leave? H-H-How is this possible? You… You are lying!” Her voice grew louder as she looked at him incredulously. “The staff at the shop told me that you left without a second look at me!” At that moment, she felt devastated because he wasn’t even willing to wait for her to go back with him. This illustrated that not only did he not like her, he even hated her. However, at this moment, he told her that he didn’t leave. How is this possible? If he didn’t leave, where did he go?

However, before Yan could ask him this question, Han Qing closed his eyes and pushed Yan back into the bed. He realized what he had told her after hearing her remarks. “You are tired. Rest well.”

Yan still wanted to struggle, but probably due to the fever, she also felt tired and her eyelids weighed as heavy as bags of cement. She fought against the urge to close her eyes while mumbling, “No. You tell me the truth now… Without telling me clearly, don’t think of leaving…” Yan grabbed onto his sleeves, still not willing to let him go. In the end, her voice became weaker and the strength that she had while holding onto his sleeves disappeared.

After Han Qing saw that she had fallen asleep, he heaved a sigh of relief and smoothened out his shirt that she crumpled before walking out of the room.

When Han Qing walked out, he ran into Han Muzi who was standing right outside. When their gaze met, Han Muzi looked curious and confused.

This look of hers… Han Qing suddenly couldn’t tell when she had arrived and how much she had seen or heard of everything that had happened in the room. However, he lacked the intention to explain anything to her. He merely pursed his lips and said, “Rest earlier. The doctor has left.”

“Okay.” Han Muzi nodded and looked at Yan, who was asleep, before glancing at Han Qing. “You—”

However, Han Qing’s gaze and expression were indifferent and he returned to his room calmly. The words that Han Muzi was about to say were held back. Forget it, it’s better not to say too much. As his sister, it was better not to pry into their matters. On top of that, she really couldn’t meddle into their relationship. Their fate was already destined. Whether Yan could be together with Han Qing or not wasn’t something that could easily be changed with Han Muzi’s words.

However, Han Muzi hadn’t known much about the events that had happened in the room. When she arrived, she only heard Yan asking Han Qing for the reason he left her alone. She then heard Han Qing saying that he didn’t abandon Yan.

After that, just like Yan, Han Muzi was confused. If Han Qing didn’t leave her alone, where did he go? Why didn’t he stop Yan from breaking down in the streets? Is it really like what he said just now—to let Yan realize that they are not suited for each other? It’s better not to drag it out? After pondering about this, Han Muzi felt even more troubled. In the end, she decided to leave this matter alone.

On the other hand, Little Bean, who had been sent to the Yuchi residence, saw Song An sitting on the couch in the living room not long after he entered. She wore a pair of sunglasses with her arms folded in front of her chest as she crossed her legs, looking fierce. Yuchi Jin sat not far away from her, but in comparison, his aura was not as strong as hers.

“Grandaunt Song!” As soon as Little Bean saw Song An, he addressed her.

Song An, who had such a fierce aura, changed into a completely different person as soon as she heard Little Bean. She took off her sunglasses and asked, “Little Bean?” Soon, she realized another problem. “Why are you here alone? Where’s your daddy and mommy?”

When Yuchi Jin saw Little Bean, his old heart started to thump furiously. However, when he saw that the first person Little Bean addressed was Song An and Little Bean acted as if he hadn’t seen Yuchi Jin, Yuchi Jin felt miserable like he was a deflated balloon.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 955

Little Bean thought about it and told Song An about what had happened back home. When Song An heard it, she frowned immediately. “Yan has a fever and your mother is taking care of her?”

Little Bean nodded flatly. “That’s right.”

“Little Bean, how can a pregnant lady take care of someone who has a high fever? What if she gets infected?”

Though Little Bean was smart, he knew little about pregnancy. He was only aware that Yan was under the weather and that she needed someone else to take care of her. Since his mother was willing to be the caretaker, he didn’t think of anything else. Now that he saw Song An speaking about this seriously, only did Little Bean realize how grave the issue was. “Grandaunt Song, Mommy—”

Song An took out her phone. “Let me call your daddy and ask him to deal with this.” Since everyone’s background had already been cleared up, Song An also had Ye Moxuan’s number registered in her phone. She got up and walked outside to call him.

Yuchi Jin, who sat next to them, heard their conversation, but he didn’t hear it clearly. Hence, after Song An walked out, he got up to sit next to Little Bean.

“Hi, great-grandfather!” Little Bean only seemed to notice Yuchi Jin at this moment and addressed him after letting out a brief exclamation.

Yuchi Jin was emotional when he heard that. However, at the same time, he felt like he was a failure that his existence had only been noticed until now and yearned for kinship more than anything else after being alone for so many years. Seeing a good-looking, smart, delicate great-grandson seated in front of him, it was no longer important whether he was the first to be noticed or not. He was already more than elated by the fact that Little Bean was willing to address him ‘great-grandfather’. “Hello there!” he replied to Little Bean as a child-like smile blossomed on his old face.

Little Bean looked at him and blinked before saying, “Aunt Yan is very good to me. She often takes care of me and cooks for us.”

Upon hearing that, Yuchi Jin looked a little shocked. “This Aunt Yan is so good to you?”

“Yeah!” Little Bean nodded fervently with a disappointed expression on his face. “I should be the one taking care of her since she is sick. But Mommy says that since you have already invited us for dinner, if no one comes, you will feel lonely. So, she asked me to come over to keep you company.” With that, Little Bean tugged on Yuchi Jin’s sleeves and continued in a small voice, “Great-grandfather, are you upset because I’m the only one who came?”

Yuchi Jin remained quiet. How could I be upset? I’m elated beyond belief! To be honest, I had wished that everyone could attend tonight’s dinner. After all, the reunion dinner last night made him realize the joy that he had not experienced for a while—even though Ye Moxuan and Little Bean were not there. It had been a while since his house had been so full of people.The incidents that had happened in the past were already part of the bygones. When he wanted to reminisce about it, he realized that his memories had been blurry. He could only vaguely remember who was there, but he couldn’t recall the conversations back then. As he recalled the past, he only felt mixed emotions within him.

After that, Yuchi Jin realized that the most vivid memory that he had of the reunion dinner was that not everyone attended it. After all, it was just yesterday when it happened, so he yearned for that feeling of joy even more. He even thought, Now that my grandson, great-grandson, and my own daughter are back, it would be a big family if my granddaughter-in-law with all her friends comes here! Thinking about this, Yuchi Jin smiled broadly.

Sure, he hadn’t completely accepted his granddaughter-in-law. “Of course not. So, your name is… Little Bean?”

Upon the mention of his name, Little Bean blinked and explained to Yuchi Jin, “Little Bean is the nickname my mommy gives me. My real name is Han Yishu.”

Han Yishu? When he heard the last name, Yuchi Jin frowned immediately and responded in displeasure, “Why is your last name Han?”

Little Bean asked innocently, “Is there any problem with my last name being Han?”

Yuchi Jin replied, “Of course. Han is the last name of your mother, right? You should follow your daddy’s surname, Yuchi.” Yuchi Yishu? When Yuchi Jin recited this name in his thoughts, he thought that the name was perfect and it sounded good.

However, Little Bean did not agree with him. “You’re wrong about that, great-grandfather. Even if I were to follow my daddy’s last name, it will be ‘Ye’, and not ‘Yuchi’.” Little Bean knew that his daddy was Ye Moxuan and he only used the last name ‘Yuchi’ after he lost his memories. “On top of that, since Daddy can have ‘Yuchi’ as his last name, I can have ‘Han’ as my last name too.”

To Ye Moxuan, the Yuchi family was his mother’s family and to Little Bean, the Han family was his mother’s side as well. If Ye Moxuan had the last name Yuchi, Yuchi Jin, as his great-grandfather, should not have any excuses to condemn Little Bean for having the last name ‘Han’.

At that moment, Yuchi Jin was unsure on how to respond. “May I know why you want to have the last name ‘Han’?”

Little Bean said, “Great-grandfather, if you want to know about this, you can ask Mommy as she knows the best about this. When I was born, only Mommy was with me. I had no daddy.”

When Yuchi Jin heard that, he was shocked immediately. “No daddy? You’re saying that—”

“Hmph! Daddy didn’t take care of Mommy and I. Bad daddy! Great-grandfather, Mommy was the only person who brought me up.” With that, Little Bean even looked like he was about to cry. “Back then, apart from working, Mommy had to take care of me. Her life was really tough.” It was while putting in good words for his mother that Little Bean stabbed Ye Moxuan in the back.

When Yuchi Jin heard that, he went silent. He was unable to learn more about Little Bean’s background because his information was well protected, probably due to the Han family’s influence. However, Yuchi Jin never realized that this was the case. What had happened back then? Why did that woman bring this little brat up alone?

Yuchi Jin reflected on the way Han Muzi respectfully treated him each time, even though she knew that he did not approve of her. She didn’t hold any grudges against him and even treated him well.

If Song An hadn’t stopped her at that time, he could probably have eaten more of Han Muzi’s home cooked food during the reunion dinner.

Thinking about this, Han Muzi had looked at him with a grateful expression in her eyes. It seemed as if she wanted to impress him. On top of that, she even brought Little Bean up alone and taught the little brat well. Yuchi Jin’s thoughts about Han Muzi had changed completely in that instance. He believed that women who were able to bring up their children alone were great women. After all, it was never easy to take care of a child. When he raised both his daughters, it was quite tough indeed. However, in the end, who knew that both of them would still leave him?

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 956

When Song An returned from her call and saw that Yuchi Jin had sat in her spot, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and said coldly, “I just went out to make a call. Why are you sitting in my spot?”

As he got scolded by his own daughter, Yuchi Jin touched his nose in embarrassment and stood up to give way to her obediently.

After all, Song An had sat there before. If she didn’t approve of him sitting there, he did not dare to do so.

When Song An saw that Yuchi Jin had moved back to his original spot obediently and how he dared not speak to her, she felt quite amused. If an outsider saw this without knowing anything about them, they would have thought that Song An was bullying her own father.

Hmph, so what if I bully him?

Because of his stubbornness and what he did back then, it had resulted in my sister’s death!

To Song An, Yuchi Jin was indirectly responsible for her sister, Song Xin’s death.

Hence, she wouldn’t forgive him so easily.

Even though she came over today, it was just because of Little Bean and the others. If not… she would never want to have anything to do with Yuchi Jin throughout her entire life.

Song An sat back down. As her body touched Little Bean, the hostility in her eyes died down a little. Worried that she would scare the kid, she only spoke to him gently after her anger and hatred had somewhat dissipated, “I just called your daddy just now.”

“Did Daddy pick up?”

When the kid mentioned this, Song An felt quite confused about it, but she replied, “Yes. He said that he has already asked the family doctor to take care of Yan. We don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

However, Song An was more confused about the fact that Ye Moxuan didn’t pick up her call three times. During the fourth call, she was already prepared to call Han Muzi if he still had not picked up the call.

However, the call finally went through, but Ye Moxuan was not the one who picked it up. It was his assistant Xiao Su.

Song An had asked him why Ye Moxuan did not pick up the call himself.

Xiao Su answered calmly that Ye Moxuan was in the shower, and that the phone was in silent mode, so he hadn’t heard the calls. Coincidentally, Xiao Su had walked into the room and noticed that the phone was ringing, so he picked it up for Ye Moxuan. Then, Xiao Su asked Song An if there was anything else she wanted him to pass it on to Ye Moxuan later.

His explanation was quite reasonable indeed, and there seemed to be no problem with it.

After that, she asked her question. Xiao Su explained that because of Han Qing’s arrival, there weren’t enough rooms in the house, so they decided to stay at a hotel.

She finally understood what had happened. It was just that she didn’t expect that Han Muzi’s brother would be here as well.

In this case, they were really a huge family now.

When Little Bean heard Song An’s explanation, he snorted in his mind. Bad Daddy! You finally know how to take care of Mommy.

After realizing that no one else was here, Song An took her bag and said, “Since no one is here, let’s go back.”

With that, she stood up immediately.

As soon as Yuchi Jin heard that she was leaving, he stood up nervously.

“You just arrived. We haven’t even started dinner…”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll have something on the way back.”

Now that everyone was not here, she had no interest in accompanying her father for a meal. Song An was going to leave with Little Bean, but Little Bean suddenly held onto her hand and said, “Grandaunt Song, do stay for dinner, come on!”

Song An froze upon hearing that.

Standing beside them, Yu Bo said, “That’s right, Miss An. The maids have already prepared the dinner. It would only take a few minutes to serve. Since you are already here, it won’t hurt to stay for dinner before leaving.”

Song An lowered her head and met Little Bean’s expectant gaze.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that she couldn’t reject him.

Indeed, kids always softened her heart.

In the end, Song An stretched out her hand to pinch Little Bean’s face. She said in exasperation with a slight smile on her face, “Since Little Bean has asked this from me, I wouldn’t qualify to be his grandaunt if I don’t agree to it.”

When Yu Bo and Yuchi Jin heard that she was willing to stay, they smiled in relief. …

In a room filled with medical apparatus, cold sweat broke out from Ye Moxuan’s forehead. The corner of his eyes, nose, chin, neck, and chest were covered in sweat.

As for his clothes, they were already soaked with sweat.

Standing next to him with Ye Moxuan’s phone in his hand, Xiao Su felt nervous after picking up Song An’s call. However, thinking back, he believed that he hadn’t revealed anything, so all should be good.

Then, he put Ye Moxuan’s phone on silent mode and kept it away.

A tall man stood next to Xiao Su as he witnessed all this with a frown on his face. Xiao Su asked, “Jason, how is he doing?”

Jason shook his head helplessly. “He doesn’t seem to be doing well.”

Upon hearing that, Xiao Su frowned. However, Ye Moxuan, who was standing in front of them, submerged his head into the water without any hesitation.

Even Xiao Su was shocked upon seeing this.

“Is he going to be fine?”

Jason did not reply, and both of them waited while holding their breaths.

As time passed by, the house felt too quiet. There was some splashing of water in the beginning, but now, there was no sound at all. Both of them felt that something was wrong as they exchanged gazes.

“Quick!”

Jason yelled suddenly. In the next second, both of them rushed toward Ye Moxuan.

When Xiao Su helped Ye Moxuan up, his handsome face had turned pale and he looked like he was not breathing.

“Lay him on the ground, quick.”

After Ye Moxuan was laid flat on the ground, Jason kneeled beside him to perform emergency CPR.

Xiao Su also kneeled beside them as he waited anxiously.

One second, two seconds…

After a long ten seconds, Ye Moxuan finally returned to consciousness.

When Xiao Su and Jason saw that, they both heaved a sigh of relief.

In the next second, Jason punched Ye Moxuan’s chin. As the pain traveled from his chin to his brain, Ye Moxuan, who had just woken up, returned to his senses immediately and narrowed his eyes dangerously at Jason.

“You are crazy!” Jason was unafraid of Ye Moxuan’s threatening glare and yelled at him instead.

Through his expression, Ye Moxuan could tell that he was greatly concerned about him as a close friend.

Thus, as he was about to lose his temper, his anger died down upon realizing the strong concern Jason had for him. After that, he pursed his lips and propped himself up as he leaned against the wall.

When Jason saw his nonchalance, he snorted coldly, “I have never seen anyone like you who treats his life as if it’s nothing important. What? You really thought that your life is worth nothing? Let me tell you this—if one can donate their life away, I would have already asked you to donate it to someone else instead of torturing yourself this way.”

Ye Moxuan lowered his gaze. “My life is important. But I need my memories as well.”

Jason was infuriated by his words. “Even if you yearn to regain your memories, you don’t have to do this to yourself! According to medical research, there are no shortcuts to cure this. You will have to recover your memories on your own slowly. What you are doing now is—”

Ye Moxuan shook his head. “No, I need to get them back quicker.”

He knew that he had to regain his memories as quickly as possible. After hearing Little Bean’s words, he knew that he could not afford to continue waiting.

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 957

In the endless future beyond them, it would be very hard on Han Muzi if he couldn’t recover his memories.

She remembered everything that happened in the past, but he had no clue at all.

And she had to suffer all the pain alone; this wasn’t fair to her.

He must at least regain his memories to take a share of her pain.

Xiao Su didn’t look happy as well. He couldn’t help himself from advising Ye Moxuan, “Perhaps we can take the more conservative option. This is too dangerous. What if something happens to you? By that time…”

Though Ye Moxuan looked quite pale, he didn’t think much of it after hearing their words. Instead, he said casually, “It’ll be fine. As long as you guys are guarding over me, you can pull me back from death.”

From his words, it didn’t seem like he had lost consciousness just now.

As his long-time friend, Jason really wanted to punch him in the face, but the punch to his chin just now had already left some obvious bruises on him.

Before coming here, Xiao Su had already told him that this long-time friend of his had lost his memories and needed to regain them. Since a legitimate hospital couldn’t take too many risks, their only other option was to look for him.

Jason had one idea at that time—to simulate what had happened back then.

Since Ye Moxuan lost his memories after he was rescued from the sea, the best way to stimulate him was by submerging him in water. It was possible that he might remember everything after the stimulation.

Initially, Jason had wanted him to interact with people from his past.

However, Ye Moxuan said that it had stimulated his memories a little, but it wasn’t enough to make him remember everything. It felt like he was stuck in a bottleneck situation.

There were fragments of his memories, but no breakthrough whatsoever.

Hence, Jason had proposed this idea recklessly.

It was just an idea that he had brought up very casually. However, Ye Moxuan had really decided to go with it. But such an attempt was very dangerous. If there were any accidents during the stimulation process, no one knew what would happen. The entire process was not within their control.

“Let me tell you this—if you aren’t so weak, I will definitely hit you until you can’t stand on your feet in order to wake you up.”

Xiao Su said, “Jason, if you hit him any more, the Young Lady will notice.”

“Young Lady?” Jason froze and arched his eyebrows. “You’re married? How come I didn’t know that?”

Heh. After so many years of being friends, I didn’t even know that Ye Moxuan had gotten married. Jason scoffed internally.

What kind of friend is this? I actually know nothing at all!

Xiao Su looked a little awkward. “The problem back then was quite complicated. I’ll tell you in more detail after Young Master Ye regains his memories.”

Jason scoffed. “Regain his memories? He might torture himself to death before that could happen. Anyway, let’s call it a day and stop the stimulation today. We can’t continue doing this anymore.”

Ye Moxuan frowned as he said in a low voice, “There doesn’t seem to be any progress today.”

He felt quite unwilling to leave just like this.

Jason paused for a moment before saying, “Hey, this is only the first day! What progress do you have in mind? A lightning-speed progress? Do you think I’m a thunderbolt or something?”

Ye Moxuan remained silent upon hearing that.

He shot a glance at Jason, who at this moment was like an irritable lion in front of him. But Xiao Su said that this was his best friend in the past.

He felt quite suspicious about it. Would I really befriend such a person?

He felt extremely befuddled by his past decision just thinking about it.

“What is that look of yours? Even if you don’t feel happy about it, we really can’t continue anymore. Xiao Su, take him home. Rest properly and come again tomorrow. I’ll think about other safer methods tonight as well.”

Upon hearing that, Xiao Su went over to hold and support Ye Moxuan.

“Young Master Ye, why don’t you listen to Jason and go home to take a rest? Maybe he’ll be able to think of a better way by tomorrow, so that you don’t have to suffer this much.”

Ye Moxuan too felt that his mental state was too weak at this moment. Hence, he listened to Xiao Su and got up to leave with him.

As Jason watched both of them leave, he couldn’t help but complain loudly, “Lunatics! A bunch of lunatics!”

I’ve never seen anyone more terrifying than him!

…

When it was close to midnight, Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su appeared at the front gate of Yuchi Residence. They then asked the maids to inform the people inside that they were here to take Little Bean home.

Initially, Xiao Su had asked Ye Moxuan to rest in the hotel as he could pick up Little Bean by himself, but the latter had taken the keys and walked out of the room without uttering another word.

At this moment, sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Moxuan looked extremely exhausted.

Xiao Su couldn’t help reminding him, “Little Young Master is smart. If he sees you like this, he will definitely suspect that something is up.”

When Ye Moxuan heard that, he suddenly stopped pursing his lips, and his gaze darkened.

“After he gets into the car, talk to him to divert his attention. Dim the lights in the car to prevent him from seeing my face clearly.”

It was true that he didn’t look too good right now. As Little Bean was very smart, it was quite possible that he would realize that something was up.

It would not be a big deal if Little Bean was the only one who realized that something was wrong. What Ye Moxuan worried about the most was that Little Bean would talk to Han Muzi about this. It would be bad if this affected their relationship.

He didn’t want to change his decision.

On top of that, this decision was extremely important.

Xiao Su was exasperated but agreed to his request.

However, before Little Bean came out of the house, Xiao Su felt that he had to make some points clear.

“Young Master Ye, I still think that this way of doing things isn’t right. You’ve only tried it once today, yet you already look so worn out. If you still look like this after you wake up tomorrow morning, Young Lady will realize it soon… unless you don’t go home.”

After all, they are not fools. Such matters can be hidden for a while, but definitely not forever.

At this point, Ye Moxuan couldn’t afford not to go home. In fact, he had to return home everyday.

When Ye Moxuan heard this, his gaze darkened as he looked at Xiao Su.

“So, what suggestion do you have?”

Xiao Su asked tentatively, “Why don’t you go on alternate days?”

“No.”

Alternate days? This will give my brain enough time to rest. In this case, when will I be able to regain my memories?

In fact, after the simulation today, Ye Moxuan felt chaos in his mind. Especially when water entered his ears and nostrils, he actually felt a deep sense of fear that rose from the depths of his heart.

He could feel it, but he didn’t know why he was so fearful.

What was I afraid of in the water?

Ye Moxuan didn’t think that he was someone who would be easily afraid.

However, apart from fear, he didn’t remember anything else.

If Jason hadn’t stopped him then, he would probably try the simulation again.

Xiao Su said, “Young Master Ye—”

“I’ve already decided. When you go back home, don’t tell her anything. When Muzi asks you about this—and she would definitely do that—just reply to her this way.”

When he heard Ye Moxuan’s words, Xiao Su couldn’t help but frown. At this moment, one of the maids came out of the house.

However, she was alone.

She looked at them apologetically as she came nearer. “I’m sorry, Young Master Xuan, the Old Master said that Little Young Master is already asleep and he asked you to go home first.”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 958

“He’s asleep?”

When they heard this, Xiao Su looked quite shocked. After all, he was just discussing with Ye Moxuan about the actions that they would take to prevent Little Bean from realizing anything.

In the end, Little Bean was not going to follow them home after all.

Xiao Su could only turn to Ye Moxuan to ask for his opinion with his eyes.

After thinking about it briefly, Ye Moxuan nodded. Only then did Xiao Su tell the maid, “Okay. In this case, take good care of him. We’ll pick him up tomorrow.”

“Of course, Young Master Xuan.”

As the car slowly drove away, Ye Moxuan took out his phone to call Han Muzi.

He had to tell her that he didn’t manage to pick up Little Bean.

At this moment, Han Muzi was lying in bed. It was already quite late, and she didn’t know if Ye Moxuan had already picked up Little Bean. He hadn’t called her or texted her, so she had no idea what was happening.

Just when she was taking out her phone to ask Ye Moxuan about it, he was already calling her.

Han Muzi quickly placed the phone by her ears.

“Hello?”

From her tone, Ye Moxuan could tell that Han Muzi was anxious. He could almost imagine her expression at this moment, so he chuckled.

“So anxious?”

When Han Muzi heard Ye Moxuan teasing her, she was surprised at his hoarse voice. It was as if his vocal cord had been injured, or he had forced himself to speak despite not feeling well.

However, after hearing his chuckle and teasing tone, Han Muzi felt that he could be doing this on purpose.

That jerk!

Han Muzi berated him internally before asking seriously, “How’s Little Bean? Did you pick him up?”

After asking that question, Han Muzi felt that it didn’t, so she continued, “Why don’t you bring him to the hotel? You can pick me up on the way. We’ll stay together, and the room—”

“You want to stay with me so badly? But this plan of yours has failed.”

“Hm?”

“Little Bean has already fallen asleep at Grandfather’s place. I didn’t manage to get him back.”

Han Muzi went silent upon hearing that.

He has fallen asleep? Little Bean actually…

Han Muzi was initially shocked, but she soon understood. Little Bean had gone there to put in some good words for her to the extent of falling asleep there.

If it was at someone else’s place, Han Muzi would feel worried. However, it was after all Ye Moxuan’s grandfather, and also Little Bean’s great-grandfather. From his expression, it was obvious that the appearance of his great-grandson had made him unusually happy.

Hence, the reason why Little Bean stayed overnight was most probably because Yuchi Jin had asked him to do so.

This was probably why Little Bean stayed there.

“Got it. You—”

“Or…” Ye Moxuan shifted his gaze onto Xiao Su’s face and, at once, Xiao Su felt a chill down his spine. In the next second, he heard Ye Moxuan tease, “Why don’t I leave Xiao Su alone at the hotel and drive home to sleep with you?”

Both Xiao Su and Han Muzi did not know what to say to that.

Han Muzi didn’t expect that Ye Moxuan would suddenly say this so directly and explicitly.

Before she could react, Ye Moxuan added, “After all, we didn’t have many opportunities to be alone together for the past few days.”

Alone…

Come back to sleep with me…

Without any apparent reason, Han Muzi suddenly remembered the other day in the room at the kitchen. At that time, Ye Moxuan found the rare opportunity that he was looking for and kissed her once he saw her.

If he really returns, wouldn’t he take things further?

I’m still pregnant now. What if we accidentally…

At the thought of this, Han Muzi rejected his suggestion right away.

“No. You can’t do that!”

“Yeah?”

Ye Moxuan’s thin lips were still smirking. Under the light, he looked much paler. When Xiao Su saw this, he was increasingly worried about it. He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but Ye Moxuan raised his hand and signaled for Xiao Su to remain silent.

With no other choice, Xiao Su could only swallow back the words he was about to say.

“Why can’t I?”

“You went out together with Xiao Su after all. I won’t say anything about going to a hotel with him, but if you leave him alone and come back… this won’t look too good. It’s better for you to stay outside tonight.”

A hint of a smile could be seen in Ye Moxuan’s eyes.

Indeed, as soon as he took a step forward, she would start to retreat.

This was clearly the best way to deal with her.

As soon as he became very proactive, she would retreat, as if she was a rabbit whose tail was being stepped on.

“You really don’t want me to go back?”

“Yeah. You just have to take care of yourself and remember to come back for dinner tomorrow.”

With that, Han Muzi quickly hung up, as if she was afraid that he would return if they spoke longer.

After that, Han Muzi looked at her phone as she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, she immediately thought that she had hung up too quickly. She should have asked Ye Moxuan to pick up Little Bean early in the morning tomorrow.

It was impossible for her to call him again. Therefore, she could only let that pass and decided to call again tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan, who had just hung up the phone, lost all traces of a smile on his face and closed his eyes tiredly. When Xiao Su saw this, he couldn’t help but sigh internally.

So it was just an illusion that Young Master Ye’s voice became more energetic when he was speaking to Young Lady?

He is just trying to hold on because he knows that Young Lady will definitely be worried about him. That’s why he deliberately says that so that she will chase him away. I have to admit that this is a brilliant tactic.

However, the energy spent while using that tactic was too much as well.

With that, Xiao Su looked at Ye Moxuan’s pale expression and sped up.

During that night, Han Muzi didn’t really sleep much. As she had slept too much during the day, she didn’t feel sleepy at night. Besides, she was worried that something might happen to Yan while she was all alone in the room, so after a while, she got up to check on Yan.

She had made two rounds to Yan’s room. Each time she went in, she found Yan sleeping peacefully. Her breathing was even, and her heartbeat was normal as well. She looked quite obedient in her sleep without making any fuss.

Han Muzi thought to herself, Could this be the effect of alcohol that causes Yan to sleep so peacefully?

After she took a final look, Han Muzi decided to go back to her room to sleep until the morning, and that she wouldn’t check on Yan anymore. However, when she was about to go back to her room, she met Han Qing at the door.

“Go back to your room and sleep well. I’ll take care of her.”

Han Muzi was still upset at Han Qing, but she had to hold back her anger. She said sarcastically, “This wouldn’t look good, would it? After all, you two are of different genders. It’s not right for you to take care of her all night.”

Both of them were not in a romantic relationship, nor were they family members.

Upon hearing that, Han Qing frowned and said, “Gender difference only matters in certain situations. She is now ill, and you are pregnant. If I’m not going to take care of her, who will take care of her? Am I supposed to let a pregnant lady like you run around during the night?”

Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 959

“Anyway, don’t you trust me as your brother? I won’t do anything to her.”

Han Muzi remained silent upon hearing that.

Of course she knew that Han Qing wouldn’t do anything to Yan. She knew that even if Yan had tried to seduce Han Qing, he would never be tempted as well.

There was definitely no danger for Han Qing to take care of Yan.

However, after thinking about their ambiguous relationship, Han Muzi felt quite awkward. At the same time, she also felt sorry for her best friend Yan.

After pondering for a while, she couldn’t help but say, “Qing, you—”

“I know what you’re going to say.” Before she could finish her sentence, Han Qing interrupted her and said softly, “Don’t worry. Since Yan is your friend, I will settle this matter well. Apart from that, she is someone who can separate different matters clearly. I’m sure I won’t affect the friendship between the two of you.”

Han Muzi swallowed back the words that she was about to say as she didn’t expect that he had already seen through her. At that moment, she didn’t know what else she could say, so she just nodded. “Got it. As long as you know what you’re doing.”

With that, Han Muzi strode toward her room.

When she was about to reach her room, Han Muzi couldn’t help but turn back to look at Han Qing.

“Qing.”

Han Qing asked, “Yeah?”

“Can I ask you a question?”

Since it was from his sister, Han Qing would definitely agree to any of her requests and answer any of her questions. “Sure.”

“Why don’t you want to get married?”

Throughout the night, not only did she not sleep well, she even thought of many other things. The one thing that she kept thinking about was the relationship between Han Qing and Yan, and what had happened between them. Initially, she just thought that Yan wasn’t the type of woman Han Qing would like, so he didn’t fall for her.

She completely understood his feelings—people like him who hadn’t met someone they liked yet would feel that there was no problem at all with being single for their entire lives.

However, when she heard the conversation between both of them earlier, she felt that it was quite suspicious.

Toward Yan, Han Qing is clearly…

I won’t say that he has fallen for her; that’s a tad too much. However, if he doesn’t have any feelings for her at all, what was that scene I had just witnessed?

Hence, she decided to ask him properly.

Usually, Han Qing would answer any questions that she had.

However, this time around, he remained silent for a long time without answering her.

Han Muzi frowned slightly as she stared at Han Qing.

“Do you have any difficulties that you can’t talk about?”

When Han Qing heard the word ‘difficulties’, he raised his head and looked at Han Muzi, who stood not far away from him. Under the dim lighting, she appeared like the elegant and beautiful woman back then who would look at him with a doting expression.

“Qing, when your sister is born, you must take good care of her and protect her.”

Standing in front of his mother, his younger self nodded fervently upon hearing that. “Don’t worry, Mom. I will definitely take good care of her.”

They really look alike…

“Qing?”

Han Muzi’s voice entered his ears again. When Han Qing returned to his senses and saw his sister standing there looking at him in confusion, the dazed expression on his face immediately disappeared. He just smiled slightly before saying, “Silly girl, what are you thinking about? I don’t have any difficulties. Your body is quite frail, so you should go to bed now. Go on, don’t stand there like that. What would happen if you catch a cold?”

Han Muzi just stood on the same spot without moving. She had seen a different expression on Han Qing’s face just now.

However in the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared. She thought that her eyes were probably playing tricks on her.

She hesitated. Though she had many questions to ask him, she knew that he probably wouldn’t answer her even if she continued asking.

Thinking of this, Han Muzi nodded and said seriously, “Qing, I’m the only kin you have in this world. If there’s any important matter going on, you must tell me. Don’t shoulder it on your own.”

When Han Qing heard that, he couldn’t help but smile. “What do you mean by ‘only kin’? You’re not my only kin now.”

“What?”

“Little Bean.”

He reminded her.

Han Muzi let out a slight exclamation after she realized that.

Indeed, even though Little Bean is not Han Qing’s immediate family, I gave birth to him after all. So, he is very close to Qing as well.

“Besides, there is one more coming soon.”

This time around, he was referring to the baby she was carrying.

“Alright. Go to bed now. Don’t waste your time here anymore.”

Han Muzi returned to her room to lie down, but she kept thinking about Han Qing’s words.

In the past, she hadn’t paid much attention to Han Qing and thought that it was quite normal that he never dated anyone. However, she now felt that something was wrong.

Han Qing had fulfilled all his responsibilities as a brother to Han Muzi. Not only did he take good care of her, he even treated her son like his own son. However, as his younger sister, Han Muzi had seemed to be enjoying the care that Han Qing gave her to the point of neglecting his matters.

Perhaps, Qing is keeping something important from me.

Han Muzi didn’t know what that was, and Han Qing didn’t seem to have any intention of telling her.

Should… I look into this?

After this thought formed in her mind, Han Muzi felt more decisive about it. Perhaps she really ought to look into this to find out about Han Qing’s past.

After making that decision, Han Muzi finally stopped worrying. She turned in her bed and pulled the blankets over herself. After a while, she drifted into sleep.

The next day, Han Muzi felt that something was off in her dreams. It was as if a pair of eyes were constantly staring at her without moving away.

Gradually, Han Muzi felt that something was wrong, so she slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of resentful eyes entered her vision.

Han Muzi blinked in shock. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who the person was. With that, she pulled her blankets up exasperatedly.

“Why are you standing here so early in the morning? Who are you trying to scare?”

Seeing that Han Muzi had finally woken up, Yan pouted and looked aggrieved.

“Muzi, you are finally up! I’ve been waiting for such a long time, but you didn’t wake up.”

Han Muzi felt speechless upon hearing that.

Judging from her expression and tone, why does she sound like I’m dead?

She took a deep breath as she suppressed her exasperation.

“What’s up?”

Yan asked, “Was I drunk last night?”

Han Muzi nodded. “Yeah.”

“D-Did I throw a tantrum because of that?”

Han Muzi nodded again.

Yan widened her eyes. “Did I throw a tantrum at your brother?”

When Han Muzi heard that, she tried to recall. That seemed to be the case.

She continued nodding. Yan’s face turned pale immediately.

“No way! I really did throw a tantrum at him! I-I-In that case, his impression toward me must have…”

Yan covered her face with her hands and wailed in agony.

Seeing Yan behaving this way, Han Muzi couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. “You were so sad when you returned yesterday. I thought… you have already given up.”

“Given up?” When Yan heard this, she stopped all her movements immediately and bit her lips awkwardly. “I did plan to give up already. But… I dreamed of him last night.”

“Yeah?” Han Muzi was perplexed when she heard that. “What did he do in your dream?”

Yan slightly cleared her throat and lowered her head shyly as she whispered, “I dreamed that he explained to me that he didn’t abandon me, and that I’ve misunderstood him.”

“So?”

“So… I decided to forgive him in my dream!”

Han Muzi was confused by the turn of events.

So… this lady thinks that everything that had happened last night is just a dream? Not only is she treating it like a dream, she even forgives Han Qing, and now, her love for him has rekindled?

“I know that you will definitely laugh at me. But… the dream last night felt so real as if it had actually happened. At that moment, I felt that if I try my best and I can get Han Qing to be nicer to me even if just a little, I will feel content.”

Seeing Yan this way, Han Muzi suddenly wondered if she should tell her about what had exactly happened last night.

Should I tell her that the dream that she is talking about right now isn’t a dream? It had actually happened.

However, Yan was probably confused due to her fever. On top of that, she had drunk a lot, so she thought that it was a dream.

Sigh…

At that moment, Han Muzi suddenly felt sorry for Yan.

“Muzi, are you secretly laughing at me?”

Yan’s voice brought her back to reality.

Han Muzi came back to her senses and shook her head. “Of course not. Why would I laugh at you?”

It was a serious matter to like someone.

If she laughed at Yan because of this, what would she have become?

“As long as you don’t laugh at me, it’s fine. I don’t care if others do so, as long as you don’t laugh, I’m happy enough!”

Her words made Han Muzi feel touched as she didn’t think that she would be so important to Yan. Just when she was feeling this way, Yan suddenly said, “You are his sister, after all. If you think that I’m a joke, I won’t stand a chance.”

Han Muzi paused before saying, “So… you care about how I perceive you just because I’m his sister?”

Yan smiled in embarrassment. She stretched out her hand to hug Han Muzi’s arms as she moved closer to her.

“Oh, don’t bother with the details! You know very well that I didn’t mean that. Even if you’re not Han Qing’s sister, I still care about your thoughts a lot.”

Upon hearing that, Han Muzi couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Then, she said jokingly, “If I ask you to give up on Han Qing, will you listen to me?”

When Yan heard that, she tensed up immediately. “M-Muzi…”

“How about it?”

Seeing Han Muzi’s serious look, Yan’s face fell slowly as she stuttered, “D-D-Don’t tell me that you are serious.”

When Han Muzi didn’t reply, Yan became flustered and grabbed her hands as she shook her head vigorously. “I can do anything you ask of me, Muzi, but on this matter, I… just can’t do this for you. I’m sorry.”

Seeing Yan’s distressed look, Han Muzi felt that if she continued, Yan would probably cry in front of her.

After thinking about it, Han Muzi decided against fooling around with Yan further, so she smiled and said, “Alright. I’m just joking around with you. You think that I would ask you to do such a thing? We are best friends. I can’t possibly restrict your rights to like other people.”

Yan blinked. “Is it true? You’re saying that… that I can continue to like Han Qing?”

“This is your freedom. I won’t intervene.”

“Muzi, you’re too kind! We have to always be the best of friends! Even though I might not be your sister-in-law in the future, we must stay as close as we are right now!”

Her emotions had gotten the better of her as Yan hugged Muzi after she finished speaking.

Han Muzi was hesitating whether or not she should tell Yan about what had happened the night before.

If she told her that, Yan would probably be even happier right now. However, it was equivalent to betraying her own brother if she did that.

After pondering about it, Han Muzi decided against telling her.

After all, no matter it was a dream or reality, Yan had made up her mind.

On top of that, Han Muzi could tell that even though Han Qing had rejected her umpteen times, Yan’s feelings for him didn’t get any weaker. Instead, the feelings had gotten even stronger.

If it was possible, she really wanted to advise Yan not to be so stubborn anymore.

There are so many more fishes in the sea; why does she insist on this particular one?

However, she suddenly thought of the fact that she had never forgotten Ye Moxuan for the past five years too. Since she was also stubborn in love, what right did she have to ask others to give up on love?

After they chatted for a while more, Yan got up to leave.

Han Muzi got up to brush her teeth. After that, as she was preparing to call Ye Moxuan, the doorbell suddenly rang.

When she went to open the door, she saw Xiao Su and Little Bean standing outside the door.

“Mommy!”

When Little Bean saw Han Muzi, he ran to hug her happily and rubbed his cheeks on her thighs. “Good morning, Mommy!”

“Morning, sweetie.”

Han Muzi stretched out her hand to caress Little Bean’s head, but she was looking in the direction behind Xiao Su. When she didn’t see the person she had been waiting for, she felt quite disappointed and asked, “Where’s Moxuan?”

Xiao Su said after a slight pause, “Good morning, Young Lady.”

“Morning, Xiao Su. Why didn’t Moxuan arrive with you?”

Before Xiao Su arrived, he had already thought of an excuse and immediately explained, “Last night, before Young Master Ye fell asleep, he mentioned that he wanted to pick up Little Young Master to send him back here. Hence, in the morning, when he is still asleep, I woke up earlier to bring Little Young Master back here. I haven’t told him about this.”

It was quite a convincing excuse. After all, Xiao Su had been with Ye Moxuan for a long time, and he had always been very thoughtful.

It was quite normal for him to wake up earlier to get something done furtively so that Ye Moxuan could get more rest.

Hence, Han Muzi didn’t suspect anything and even smiled at Xiao Su, saying, “It’s been hard on you. You and Yan came from so far away, yet we asked you to stay at a hotel and do these things…”

“Young Lady, don’t blame yourself. I’m Young Master Ye’s assistant after all. It’s natural for me to handle these things. By the way, how’s Yan?”

Although he went out with Ye Moxuan during the night, he was worried about Yan all the time.

If I wasn’t worried that Ye Moxuan’s life might be in danger, I would have stayed back to take care of Yan, that silly girl.

Upon hearing him mentioning Yan, Han Muzi looked at Xiao Su with a hint of suspicion. “She’s up now. Do you want to talk to her?”

“Sure.”

Xiao Su nodded and walked into the room quickly to look for Yan after he changed his shoes.

Meanwhile, Han Muzi held Little Bean’s hand as they went into the house. After Xiao Su had left, Little Bean raised his head and asked, “Mommy, does Mr. Xiao like Aunt Yan?”

Upon hearing that, Han Muzi stopped in her tracks and shook her head. “I’m not quite sure.”

“Mommy, if Mr. Xiao takes Aunt Yan away with him, is she not going to be my real aunt anymore?”
