Chapter 987: Fun
The girl was stunned, obviously she didn't expect him to make such a request. She widened her eyes and stammered for a long while, "You...what did you say?"
Cheng Yunchuan repeated: "Be my girlfriend. Help me forget Jiang Mubai, and help me get rid of Qin Yao's entanglement."
A hint of hesitation flashed across the girl's face, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She took a deep breath and answered seriously, "Okay, I promise you."
Cheng Yunchuan was secretly delighted. He grabbed the girl's hand and said gently, "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
The girl was a little overwhelmed by his sudden intimacy, but she still followed him obediently.
In the next few days, Cheng Yunchuan took the girl to play, eat, and watch movies, just like a couple in love. The girl's name is Su Xiaoai, a college student with a lively and cheerful personality, completely different from Cheng Yunchuan's previous dating partners. When he was with Su Xiaoai, Cheng Yunchuan felt relaxed and comfortable, as if he had forgotten all his troubles.
On the other hand, Jiang Mubai and Gu Hanyu's wedding is being prepared in full swing. Although Jiang Mubai looks calm on the surface, she can't let go of Cheng Yunchuan in her heart. She tells herself over and over again that Gu Hanyu is the man she should choose, and Cheng Yunchuan is just a passer-by in her life.
The day before the wedding, Jiang Mubai came alone to the park where she and Cheng Yunchuan had dated before. Every blade of grass and every tree here was filled with their past memories, which made her eyes red.
"Cheng Yunchuan, have you really forgotten me?" Jiang Mubai whispered to herself, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her: "No."
Jiang Mubai turned around suddenly and saw Cheng Yunchuan standing behind her, looking at her with complicated eyes.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai called out his name with sobs.
Cheng Yunchuan walked up to her step by step, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said gently: "Mu Bai, I'm sorry, I..."
"Stop talking." Jiang Mubai covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face. "I'm getting married tomorrow."
Cheng Yunchuan's body froze. He looked at the woman in front of him whom he loved deeply, and his heart ached.
"Why?" he asked hoarsely, "Why marry him?"
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Because he loves me, and you... don't love me anymore."
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He looked at Jiang Mubai's resolute eyes, and suddenly a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He wanted to explain, wanted to tell her that he had never stopped loving her, but...
At this moment, Su Xiaoai suddenly appeared at the entrance of the park. She was holding an ice cream in her hand, with a bright smile on her face, and ran towards Cheng Yunchuan.
"Yunchuan, look what I bought for you..." Su Xiaoai's voice stopped abruptly. She saw Jiang Mubai standing in front of Cheng Yunchuan, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. The three people just stood there in a stalemate, and no one spoke.
The ice cream in Su Xiaoai's hand fell to the ground with a plop, and the melted cream flowed along the cracks in the bricks, just like her embarrassed mood at the moment. She bit her lower lip, and a layer of mist quickly accumulated in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let it fall. The gentleness on Cheng Yunchuan's face faded in an instant, replaced by panic and embarrassment. He looked at Su Xiaoai, and then at Jiang Mubai, like a prisoner who was caught, at a loss.
Jiang Mubai looked at the scene in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. Cheng Yunchuan had treated her so gently before, but now, this gentleness was given to another woman. She smiled self-deprecatingly, her tone so calm that it made people feel distressed: "It seems that I came at the wrong time."
"Mubai, it's not what you think..." Cheng Yunchuan wanted to explain eagerly, but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.
"No need to explain," Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and turned to leave, "I wish you happiness."
"Mu Bai!" Cheng Yunchuan stretched out his hand to hold her, but she dodged him.
"Tomorrow, I will be at the wedding on time as a friend." Jiang Mubai said with a resolute tone without looking back.
Looking at Jiang Mubai's departing back, Cheng Yunchuan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe. He turned to look at Su Xiaoai, with a hint of imperceptible annoyance in his tone: "Why are you here?"
Su Xiaoai couldn't hold back her tears. She choked and asked, "Is this what you said, that you want to date me seriously? Cheng Yunchuan, what do you think of me?"
Cheng Yunchuan scratched his hair irritably, and said impatiently: "I said, it's not what you think, she and I just happened to meet."
"Meet by chance?" Su Xiaoai sneered, "Cheng Yunchuan, who are you kidding? I saw the look between you and her clearly. You haven't forgotten her at all, and there is still unfinished love between you and her."
Cheng Yunchuan was silent. Su Xiaoai's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. He couldn't deny that he still had a deep attachment to Jiang Mubai.
Su Xiaoai ran away crying, Cheng Yunchuan stood there, looking at the direction where she disappeared, feeling lost. He didn't know what to do, he felt like a puppet, being manipulated by fate.
The next day, Jiang Mubai and Gu Hanyu's wedding was held as scheduled. Jiang Mubai wore a white wedding dress and was as beautiful as an angel. However, there was no trace of joy in her eyes, only endless loneliness.
Cheng Yunchuan sat in the guest seats, watching Jiang Mubai walk towards Gu Hanyu step by step, his heart felt like it was torn apart. How he wished that the person standing next to her was himself.
Just as the priest was about to announce that the two were married, an abrupt voice rang out: "I object!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in a black suit standing at the door of the church with a wicked smile on his face and a document in his hand.
"Jiang Mubai, have you forgotten our agreement?" The man spoke slowly, with a hint of threat in his tone, "If you dare to marry him, I will make this document public."
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly. She recognized this man. He was...
The church was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting to see how this farce would end. Jiang Mubai's face was pale, and she tightly grasped the bouquet in her hand, with her knuckles turning blue and white. She stared at the man, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.
The man's name was Shen Ze. He was Jiang Mubai's senior in college and the person she once loved deeply. Back then, the two young and energetic people had a short and passionate love, and even signed a ridiculous agreement in private that "they would not disturb each other after breaking up, and if they violated the agreement, they would compensate the other party for huge losses." Later, for various reasons, the two parted ways unhappily. This agreement was also regarded by Jiang Mubai as a joke of youth and frivolity, and had long been forgotten.
