Chapter 1030 Sweetness
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She was happy that he had come back to life, but also scared of the danger he had gone through. She reached out and gently stroked his cheek, feeling his real warmth.
"Yunchuan, promise me that you won't do such dangerous things again, okay?" There was a hint of pleading in her voice.
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand and kissed it gently on his lips. "Okay, I promise you. For you, I will live well too."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
After returning to the apartment, Jiang Mubai helped Cheng Yunchuan clean up, and then the two of them made a simple dinner together.
While eating, Cheng Yunchuan suddenly said, "Xiaobai, let's get married."
Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment, and then a shy blush appeared on his face. "You...what did you say?"
Cheng Yunchuan put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously. "I say, let's get married. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
Jiang Mubai's heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She lowered her head and whispered, "But... I'm not ready yet..."
Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and let her look at him. "It's okay, I can wait. Until you are ready." His eyes were full of pampering and love, "But you have to promise me that you won't make me wait too long."
Jiang Mubai looked into his eyes, and a sweet warmth surged in her heart. She nodded and said "hmm" softly.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Cheng Yunchuan stood up and opened the door. A man in a black suit stood outside the door, holding a document bag. "Mr. Cheng, this is what you wanted."
Cheng Yunchuan took the file bag, opened it and took a look, his face instantly turned gloomy. "I see, you can go down."
After the man left, Cheng Yunchuan returned to the dining table and placed the file bag on the table. "Xiaobai, take a look at this."
Jiang Mubai opened the file bag suspiciously, and inside was a DNA test report. When she saw the contents of the report, her face turned pale instantly...
Jiang Mubai's fingers trembled as she pinched the thin DNA report, feeling it like a branding iron burning her skin. The report clearly stated: Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan have a genetic similarity of 99.99%, confirming that they are related and are siblings.
"What...what does this mean?" Jiang Mubai's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan with a distracted look, her eyes full of disbelief and fear.
Cheng Yunchuan's face was equally grim. He snatched the report and read it over and over again, as if to confirm that it was just a nightmare. However, the conclusion written in black and white was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely.
The room fell into silence, with only the rapid breathing of the two people echoing in the air.
After a long while, Cheng Yunchuan finally found his voice. He said in a hoarse voice: "This... This is impossible! This must be a mistake!"
He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room like a trapped animal. "We grew up together, how could it be possible... how could it be possible..." He kept repeating this sentence, as if this could change reality.
Jiang Mubai slumped in the chair, tears silently falling down her cheeks. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain. Compared with the torment in her heart at the moment, what was this little flesh wound?
"Xiao Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan walked up to her, squatted down, and wanted to hold her hand, but stopped in mid-air. How should he comfort her? He didn't even know how to comfort himself.
"Don't touch me!" Jiang Mubai shook his hand away, her eyes full of disgust and pain. "We...we are actually brother and sister...we..." She choked and could no longer speak.
Cheng Yunchuan's heart felt like it was being torn apart. He stretched out his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that his touch would defile her, and that his embrace would become a sin.
"Xiaobai, listen to me, there must be some misunderstanding here..." He tried to explain, but found that he couldn't even find a reasonable explanation.
"Enough!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly and interrupted him. "The facts are right in front of you. How long do you want to deceive yourself?" She pointed at the report, her voice trembling, "It's impossible for us... to be together! Do you understand?"
After saying that, she turned and ran into the bedroom, closing the door forcefully.
A loud bang, like a bomb exploding in Cheng Yunchuan's ear, made him dizzy. He sat down on the ground dejectedly, covering his face with his hands, letting the despair consume him.
He never expected that fate would play such a cruel joke on him. The woman he loved so much turned out to be his own sister. And he almost...
He didn't dare to think further, the feeling of guilt almost suffocated him.
The room fell into silence again, with only the sound of suppressed crying coming intermittently from the bedroom, like a blunt knife, cutting Cheng Yunchuan's heart again and again.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence. Cheng Yunchuan raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. Could it be that the person who delivered the report came back? Could it be that there was something wrong with the report?
He stumbled to the door and flung it open.
The person standing outside the door was not the person he was expecting, but... Li Cheng.
Li Cheng had a sinister smile on his face and a gun in his hand, with the black muzzle pointing directly at Cheng Yunchuan's chest.
"Long time no see, Cheng Yunchuan." His tone was cold, as if he was a devil crawling out of hell.
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. Before he could react, Li Cheng pulled the trigger...
Li Cheng's cold laughter echoed in Cheng Yunchuan's ears, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, making people's hair stand on end. "You think you won? You think Jiang Mubai will be yours?"
Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He spoke with difficulty: "What...what do you want to do?"
"What?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, his eyes full of teasing, "Of course I'm giving you a big gift! A 'big gift'... that you will never forget!"
He suddenly put the muzzle of the gun against Cheng Yunchuan's forehead. The cold touch made Cheng Yunchuan tremble all over. He closed his eyes and waited for death to come. However, the expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Li Cheng suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell backwards and tears came out.
"Hahaha... look at you, you coward! Are you scared silly?" Li Cheng laughed breathlessly, pointed at Cheng Yunchuan's nose and sneered, "With your guts, you still want to snatch a woman from me? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
Cheng Yunchuan then realized that he had been fooled, and a surge of anger instantly surged in his heart. He pushed Li Cheng away and roared: "You fooled me?!"
