Nothing To Give But My Heart

Chapter 111



“You rascal! Are you trying to ruin the Ye Family by hurting others like that for no reason?”

Ye Linhan tried to assuage Old Master Ye’s anger. “Grandpa, Moxuan has his own reasons for doing everything. I haven’t seen him attack anyone before, so maybe Lu Xunchang has really infuriated Moxuan this time. Moxuan, you should at least tell us about the situation. How exactly did he offend you?”

Ha! What rights do you have to know about my reason for doing things?” Ye Moxuan was extremely arrogant, not respecting Old Master Ye and Ye Linhan at all. However, Shen Qi, who was standing next to him, knew that he did this because he didn’t want to involve her in this matter.

Shen Qi knew it when she was blocked by him the last time she tried to speak up. Ye Moxuan didn’t want to implicate her in this. However, there was no reason to let him take the blame for everything. It was time for her to stand up for herself; she didn’t need Ye Moxuan to take the blame for her every time.

Thinking of this, Shen Qi stood up before Old Master Ye got angry again.

“It was because of me.” Shen Qi went forward firmly. Although she was quite slim, she completely blocked Ye Moxuan’s figure.

Ye Moxuan froze for a moment before frowning. “When has it been your turn to speak?”

Upon hearing that, Shen Qi’s face turned pale. Was he going to attack her for being an outsider again? But this time, Shen Qi didn’t want him to take the blame, so she quickly spoke, “It’s because Lu Xunchang kidnapped me!”

“What?” Ye Linhan was startled upon hearing her explanation. “Shen Qi, did you say that Lu Xunchang kidnapped you? This is…”

Old Master Ye stared at her with a pair of shrewd eyes. “Kidnapped you? When did it happen?”

Before Shen Qi could speak, Ye Moxuan rolled his wheelchair over. Shen Qi was worried that she would be scolded by him again for speaking up, so before he could speak, she answered, “Just last night. He kidnapped me at the banquet.”

Ye Moxuan frowned. “Damn it!” What is this woman doing? Am I the kind of person who needs others to defend me?

“Old Master Ye, I know you may find it incredulous, but Lu Xunchang did kidnap me, and he also attacked Ye Moxuan verbally with vicious words. If you were there, you probably wouldn’t have wanted to see your own grandson being verbally abused, right?” At this point, Shen Qi glanced at Ye Moxuan. She did feel his cold stare, of course, but she could no longer watch him take everything by himself.

“I’ve wanted to say it out loud before, but I never had the chance to. This time around, you won’t blame Moxuan anymore, right, Old Master Ye?”

Old Master Ye merely narrowed his eyes at her without speaking.

Meanwhile, Ye Linhan stepped forward and asked her nervously, “Lu Xunchang kidnapped you? Are you injured?”

Shen Qi took a step back and retreated to Ye Moxuan’s side. Then, she replied softly, “I was not injured. Moxuan saved me.” With that, she glanced at Old Master Ye again, and she saw that he was still appraising her with no other intentions.

Shen Qi then explained to Old Master Ye according to what Ye Moxuan had told her the other day. “Moreover, for business collaboration, Lu Xunchang is too unreasonable and unpredictable. This time around, the project that the Ye and Lu Families will be working together on is a long term project. After doing some research, I found out that Fang Group is a more worthy business partner compared to Lu Group for the same project.”

Hearing that, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help raising his eyebrows as he looked at Shen Qi. This woman is smarter than I thoughtI never expect that she would be able to deduce this. Heh! It seems like she really deserves to be my woman!

As such, a slight look of joy flashed through Ye Moxuan’s face.

“I hope you can be more considerate, Old Master Ye,” Shen Qi added.

“Did you hear that, old man?” Ye Moxuan chipped in.

Shen Qi’s expression changed slightly, and her hands that were in the suit clenched tight unconsciously. This jerk! I finally explained everything to Old Master Ye, and in the end, Ye Moxuan chose to say something like this! Isnt he deliberately making the old man angry?

Thereafter, Shen Qi pushed Ye Moxuan to the back and ran back to Old Master Ye.

“Old Master Ye, I’m really sorry about that, but this time around, it’s not a loss for the Ye Family that the business cannot be negotiated with the Lu Family. On the contrary, it’s a gain for us, as long as we can cooperate with Fang Group.”

Hearing that, Old Master Ye looked at her sharply. “Are you confident about that?”

Shen Qi was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses. Clearly, she was mentally prepared, thereupon she replied, “I will work hard.”

Ye Moxuan frowned, but just when he was about to say something, Shen Qi rushed in front of him and announced, “We shall go back to our room first.”

Then, without waiting for Old Master Ye to react, Shen Qi turned around and pushed Ye Moxuan away.

The whole process had taken less than three minutes. If she had let Ye Moxuan talk to Old Master Ye, the latter might just get angry again.

After entering the elevator, Ye Moxuan’s indifferent voice rang. “Who allowed you to call your own shots here?”

Shen Qi’s expression changed slightly when she heard that, but she explained, “Anyhow, we are going to cooperate with Fang Group, aren’t we?”

“So you’re using this reason as an explanation?”

Shen Qi pursed her lips. “I will try my best to strike a deal with them. I’m sorry.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Why is she apologizing again? Ye Moxuan’s eyes became slightly cold. “Who asked you to apologize?”

“Then… what do you want me to say?” Shen Qi realized that she couldn’t seem to do anything right in front of Ye Moxuan—whatever that she said was disapproved of by him.

Ye Moxuan raised his eyes and glanced at her. The slim woman in front of her was wrapped in a suit, showing only her fair face. In her clear eyes, there was a trace of fear. It was almost impossible to think that she was the same woman who had spoken before Old Master Ye for him.

Ye Moxuan’s eyes shifted. “Come here.”

Shen Qi was a little surprised to hear that, but she still went to him obediently.

“What are you going to do—” Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Moxuan’s big hand had reached over and pulled her into his arms. Shen Qi was caught by surprise and fell onto his lap.

“Listen to me: don’t stand in front of me to protect me no matter what.”

Shen Qi looked at him, dumbfounded.

“Whether it’s the incident with Lu Xunchang last time or my quarrel with my old man, you, as my woman, just need to stand behind me.”

What? Shen Qi’s eyes widened when she heard that. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, thinking that she had heard him wrongly. He said that I am his woman? Is that… true?

“What’s with that expression?” Ye Moxuan stared at her with a dissatisfied expression while he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Shen Qi asked dryly, “D-Did you just call me your woman?”

Upset, he grabbed her chin and asked her, “Well, we’ve already slept together; are you going to deny it? Or do you still want to go back to your ex-husband?”

Shen Qi froze. “I—”

“I won’t allow it!”

Ye Moxuan’s eyes were as dark as the quiet night, and his voice was cool and alluring. “You are not allowed to interact with other men in the future, are you clear?”

Dumbfounded, Shen Qi asked, “Just because we’ve slept with each other, you say that I am your woman now?”
