Chapter 1186 The unbearable past
Why? Why do you do this to her?
She thought of the past with Lu Jingshen that she couldn't bear to recall, his deception and betrayal, and her heart was filled with hatred.
And now, Cheng Yunchuan also lied to her. He clearly knew that the child was Lu Jingshen's, but he still chose to conceal it.
He protected her so well, making her think she had found true happiness, but in the end she found out that it was all just a lie.
She felt extremely desperate and helpless, as if the whole world had collapsed.
She didn't know what to do. Should she question Cheng Yunchuan or endure it all silently?
She curled up on the sofa, letting her tears soak her clothes.
As night fell, the room was dark. Jiang Mubai lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Lu Jingshen's face and Cheng Yunchuan's gentle smile kept appearing in her mind.
She didn't know who to hate or blame.
She only knew that she was in pain and helpless.
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
"Mu Bai, are you asleep?" It was Cheng Yunchuan's voice.
Jiang Mubai didn't answer. She didn't want to face him and didn't know how to face him.
The knock on the door came again, more urgently.
"Mu Bai, I know you are not asleep, open the door, let's talk."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, got up from the bed, and opened the door.
Cheng Yunchuan stood outside the door, holding a cup of hot milk in his hand: "I guess you didn't sleep well, have a glass of milk."
Jiang Mubai took the milk but didn't drink it. He just stood there quietly.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her pale face and felt distressed: "Mu Bai, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, don't keep it in your heart."
Jiang Mubai bit his lip, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Yunchuan, why...why did you lie to me?"
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant: "You know everything?"
Jiang Mubai nodded, tears welling up in his eyes again: "Why? Why did you hide it from me?"
Cheng Yunchuan sighed and gently held her in his arms: "I'm sorry, Mu Bai, I don't want to make you sad."
"But you've already made me sad!" Jiang Mubai pushed him away, emotionally: "You clearly know how much I hate him, why are you still hiding it from me?"
"I know, I know you hate him." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of helplessness: "But the child is innocent. At that time, I thought I could also be the child's father."
"So you chose to lie to me?" Jiang Mubai sneered.
"Have you ever thought about how I feel? Have you ever thought about how I would feel?"
Cheng Yunchuan was silent, he didn't know how to explain.
"Go away, I don't want to see you." Jiang Mubai turned around and faced away from him.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her back, his heart filled with pain. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her, but then pulled it back.
"Mubai."
"Let's go!" Jiang Mubai's voice was trembling: "I don't want to see you now."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her deeply, turned and left the room.
He walked downstairs, took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Hey, help me check Lu Jingshen's recent whereabouts."
A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, Mr. Cheng."
The next morning, when Jiang Mubai woke up, she found that Cheng Yunchuan had left the manor. She walked to the window and looked at the empty garden, feeling confused.
She didn't know where to go or what the future would be like.
At this moment, a cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.
It’s Lu Jingshen’s call.
Jiang Mubai looked at the name displayed on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.
"Hey?"
"Mu Bai, long time no see, I missed you!" Lu Jingshen's voice was filled with a hint of smile.
Jiang Mubai frowned, his heart filled with disgust: "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm sorry about the miscarriage. I want you to give me a chance to make it up to me." Lu Jingshen's voice sounded somewhat flattering.
Jiang Mubai clenched his phone tightly, his face turning pale: "Without the child, we are nothing at that moment."
"You really don't intend to forgive me? Mubai, I am the best to you. There is no future for you and Cheng Yunchuan." Lu Jingshen's voice came over, but Jiang Mubai did not respond and held the phone tightly.
Lu Jingshen's voice was like a sharp thorn, piercing Jiang Mubai's heart. The child was the eternal pain in her heart.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart: "Lu Jingshen, it's over between us, don't contact me anymore."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without hesitation and blacklisted his number.
Jiang Mubai, feeling confused, walked aimlessly in the garden, the morning dew soaking her skirt.
She squatted down and stroked a blooming rose. The petals were gorgeous yet fragile, just like her mood at the moment.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Cheng Yunchuan. He looked much more haggard, with blue stubble on his chin and bloodshot eyes.
Cheng Yunchuan's voice was hoarse, with a hint of begging: "Mu Bai, can we talk?"
Jiang Mubai raised her head and looked at his exhausted appearance, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know how to face him, the man whom she once loved deeply but who had deceived her.
"What to talk about?" Jiang Mubai's voice was cold and distant.
Cheng Yunchuan squatted down beside her and held her hand carefully. Her hands were cold and without a trace of warmth.
"About the child, I..." Cheng Yunchuan hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to explain. He knew he was wrong, extremely wrong.
Jiang Mubai pulled his hand back suddenly, as if he had been burned: "Child? What else is there to talk about? You have already made your choice, haven't you?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at his empty palms, and his heart ached: "Mu Bai, please listen to my explanation. The situation at that time was very complicated."
"Complicated?" Jiang Mubai sneered and interrupted him: "Is there anything more important than the truth?"
Cheng Yunchuan was silent. He didn't know how to explain. He was afraid of losing her and afraid that she would never forgive him.
"Mu Bai, I love you, I really love you." Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled with a hint of despair: "I can't live without you."
Jiang Mubai turned his head away and didn't look at him: "Love me? Is this how you love me? To deceive me with lies?"
"I'm sorry, Mu Bai, I was wrong, I was really wrong." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was choked with sobs. He stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her hand again, but she dodged him.
"Yunchuan, let's all calm down." Jiang Mubai stood up, turned and left, leaving Cheng Yunchuan squatting alone in the garden.
For the next few days, Jiang Mubai locked himself in the room, refusing to eat or drink and ignoring anyone.
She recalled every detail of her time with Cheng Yunchuan over and over again, from the initial sweetness to the final lies, and her heart seemed to be torn into pieces.
