Nothing To Give But My Heart

That woman was bold enough to slap him twice!

Ye Moxuan grabbed her chin violently with strength strong enough to crush her jaw. As such, Shen Qi’s face turned pale from the pain.

“Since you hate me that much, why don’t you just end this quickly and throw me out of the building now? Or do you want to kill me? Why do you need to keep on humiliating me like this?!”

Although the force on her chin was enough to make her break out in cold sweat, Shen Qi still decided to go all out.

“Humiliate you?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes.

She actually thought that kiss was humiliating her?

To be honest, Ye Moxuan didn’t know why he decided to kiss her. It wasn’t something he planned, but when he went closer to her and saw her clear eyes, he had a deep desire to kiss her.

Then, as he deepened the kiss, it felt euphoric.

However, she bit his tongue right when he was thinking of what kind of sorcery this woman had.

So naturally, he would have to return the favor somehow.

“You’re the first woman ever to slap me!”

“Since I’ve slapped you, what are you going to do about it?” Shen Qi challenged.

What was he going to do about it?

By right, the old him would have killed her or at least made her half dead. However, he quickly found that he couldn’t make himself do it when he was facing her. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“What about it? Weren’t you thinking that I was humiliating you?” Ye Moxuan smirked before closing up next to her lips, “What about now? What do you think?” His voice was muffled.

“You b*stard—mmph!” Right when Shen Qi was about to push him away, he latched his lips against hers, silencing her.

Shen Qi felt disgusted, and her eyes widened the next second because Ye Moxuan’s hand started wandering beneath her shirt before he began to… fondle…

Shen Qi immediately jumped before pushing him with all her force as she backed up. She didn’t have time to think about anything else as she forced herself to leave the bed and stood as far as she could away from Ye Moxuan.

Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to get away from me? Where do you think you can run to?”

Shen Qi bit her lips, then, as though she suddenly thought of something, she started wiping her lips harshly with her hands right in front of Ye Moxuan.

Naturally, Ye Moxuan was angered by her actions. How dare she try to wipe her lips?! Ye Moxuan’s face darkened as he inched closer while he smirked. “Try wiping again!”

His voice was so eerily cold; it was as if Lucifer himself had reincarnated. Shen Qi watched as he slowly inched toward her in his wheelchair. Although she was scared by his presence, she taunted, “So what if I continue wiping? You can’t catch me anyway!”

Then, Shen Qi turned around and ran outside where she slammed into Xiao Su, who was just coming in, sending him a few steps backward. Shen Qi’s chest hurt so badly from the impact that she leaned on the wall for support while Xiao Su massaged his chest. “Assistant Shen, where are you going?”

However, Shen Qi ignored him and ran out of the ward.

Confused, Xiao Su went over to Ye Moxuan and asked, “Young Master Ye, has Assistant Shen… regained consciousness?”

Ye Moxuan, who was rolling his wheelchair, halted and glared at Xiao Su with a cold gaze. “Didn’t you see what happened just now?”

Xiao Su nodded. “I did, but I didn’t expect her to have the energy to run after not eating for a day though. She really knocked me real good just now.”

The veins on Ye Moxuan’s forehead popped.

Xiao Su then asked, “Young Master Ye, were you in a fight with Assistant Shen?”

Ye Moxuan said nothing.

As such, Xiao Su asked again, “Are you not going after her?”

Ye Moxuan remained silent. Perhaps getting an assistant like this was really my fault!

Shen Qi ran straight out of the hospital, thereafter she struggled to catch her breath as she slowed down. Black spots started appearing in her vision, and her legs almost gave in. Shen Qi held onto the wall as support as she slowly squatted down before closing her eyes.

She then reopened her eyes after a long while.

When she looked around, she had already wholly regained her vision.

Squatting on the cold ground, Shen Qi suddenly realized that she ran out without even wearing her shoes. At this moment, the sharp pain from her tongue reminded her of what Ye Moxuan did to her; she was never going back to that place.

Ye Moxuan is such a b*stard! Shen Qi clenched her fists before wiping her lips again.

Finally, she slowly stood up before staring at the people walking around her.

Maybe it was because of how she was right now, as many of the passersby looked at her weirdly.

Shen Qi smiled wryly before lowering her head and started walking.

“Qi?” A familiar voice rang behind Shen Qi, and she halted in her tracks. The person who called out to her immediately rushed over. “Is that you, Qi?!”

Shen Qi looked up before realizing that the person walking over was Lin Jiang.

Why did she run into him here of all places?

Shen Qi’s expression changed slightly while she quickened her pace and continued walking. However, considering she hadn’t eaten since yesterday, Shen Qi staggered weakly, and Lin Jiang rushed ahead to support her.

“Qi, why didn’t you reply to all my calls and messages?” Lin Jiang’s face was worried, albeit his accusing tone. He didn’t even notice that she was looking pale and was still in her hospital gown.

Pushing his hands away, Shen Qi chuckled coldly and took a step back. “Leave me alone, you jerk!”

Lin Jiang stopped right in his tracks and looked at Shen Qi in disbelief. “Qi, are you calling me… a jerk?”

Shen Qi glared at him coldly in response.

“Qi, would you believe me if I tell you that I have my reasons?”

Shen Qi turned around and left. However, Lin Jiang caught up to her and tried grabbing her hand, only for Shen Qi to push him away in disgust. “Leave me alone! Do not touch me!”

Hurt flashed across Lin Jiang’s face for a moment, and he retracted his hand before staring at her with a pleading gaze.

“I really have my reasons for doing what I did. Please let me explain.”

“What explanation? We’re divorced, aren’t we? I don’t have any relation with you anymore.”

“I had to take responsibility because she was pregnant! Qi, can you forgive me?”

Shen Qi was rendered speechless.

How dare he utter something as ridiculous as this? Shen Qi chuckled to herself before turning in Lin Jiang’s direction. “Lin Jiang, do I look stupid to you? Or am I already a fool in your eyes? Do you really think that I would do anything for you, that I would love you forever and not mind everything that you’ve done? Do you really expect me to forgive you even after you brought that woman to our home and even impregnated her?”

“Am I not right, though?” Lin Jiang asked rhetorically as he frowned. “After all, you’ve always been that way. Qi, as my wife, aren’t you supposed to be considerate about your own husband?”

Dumbfounded, Shen Qi didn’t know what to say.

This was the first time she had ever felt so helpless; she finally realized how terrifying ignorant people could be.

She then snickered sarcastically. “I didn’t know that you could be this ignorant.”

“Qi, am I wrong then? What kind of man wouldn’t have an affair? The one you found the other day? Who was that? Why were you with him?”
