Chapter 941 Painful Memories

Lu Jingchen's heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, and it hurt slightly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.

"Lu Jingchen," she leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchid, "You know, I regret it."

"What do you regret?" Lu Jingchen was stunned and his breathing became rapid.

Jiang Mubai's fingertips gently stroked his cheek, his eyes blurred and a little teasing. "I regret not choosing you back then."

Lu Jingchen's brain buzzed, as if something had exploded. He felt his heartbeat was about to jump out of his chest, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head.

"Mu Bai..." He called out her name tremblingly, his eyes burning.

Jiang Mubai suddenly stood up and looked down at him with a charming smile on his face. "Lu Jingchen, do you want to come with me?"

Lu Jingchen looked at her, his eyes full of struggle and desire. He hugged Lu Xingchen, and for a moment he didn't know how to choose...

Lu Jingchen's mind went blank. Jiang Mubai's words echoed in his ears like a spell. Regret? Choosing him? He could hardly believe his ears.

Lu Xingchen in his arms moved restlessly, his little hands grasping his collar, his soft voice with a hint of tears: "Dad..."

The child's voice instantly brought Lu Jingchen back to reality. He looked down at his daughter's innocent sleeping face, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart. How could he? How could he abandon his daughter and follow Jiang Mubai away just because of his momentary impulse?

"Mu Bai..." He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "I..."

Jiang Mubai seemed to see his hesitation, and his eyes dimmed. "Why, you can't bear to leave her?" Her tone was a little sarcastic, and also a little bit of imperceptible loss.

"Xingchen is my daughter..." Lu Jingchen hugged his daughter tightly, as if she was his last straw.

Jiang Mubai sneered, "Lu Jingchen, you are still as indecisive as before! Do you think you can escape reality by holding her? Do you think you can go back to the past?"

"I didn't want to escape..." Lu Jingchen whispered, "I just..."

"Just what?" Jiang Mubai pressed on, "Just can't let go of your responsibility? Or can't let go of your guilt?"

Lu Jingchen was silent. He knew Jiang Mubai was right. He couldn't let go of Xingchen, nor could he let go of his guilt towards his wife.

"Lu Jingchen, you're such a coward!" Jiang Mubai said this, turned around and left, and the black figure quickly disappeared in the hustle and bustle of the bar.

Lu Jingchen stood there blankly, holding his daughter, like a sculpture. He didn't know what to do, should he chase after her or go home?

The music in the bar was still loud and the crowd was still partying, but he was the only one who seemed to be abandoned by the world, lonely and helpless.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Lu Jingchen? Is it really you?"

Lu Jingchen raised his head and saw Cheng Yunchuan standing in front of him with a hint of surprise and worry in his eyes.

"Yunchuan..." Lu Jingchen's voice was a little weak.

Cheng Yunchuan glanced at Lu Xingchen in his arms, then looked at his slightly embarrassed appearance, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Lu Jingchen smiled bitterly and briefly told Cheng Yunchuan what had just happened.

After listening to this, Cheng Yunchuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jingchen, are you really going to give up like this?"

"Give up what?" Lu Jingchen looked at him blankly.

"Give up Jiang Mubai, give up your love." Cheng Yunchuan's tone was firm and powerful, "I know you still have her in your heart, and I know you can't let her go."

Lu Jingchen's heart trembled suddenly. He didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to say such a thing. He always thought that Cheng Yunchuan stood on his wife's side and opposed him and Jiang Mubai being together.

"But..." Lu Jingchen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"No buts!" Cheng Yunchuan interrupted him, "Jingchen, listen to me, you only live once, don't leave yourself with regrets. If you really love her, don't give up easily. As for Xingchen, I believe you can find a way to have the best of both worlds."

Lu Jingchen looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of struggle and hesitation. He didn't know whether he should believe Cheng Yunchuan's words, nor did he know whether he should take another risk for love.

"Jingchen, think about the promise you made to Jiang Mubai, and think about the ups and downs you have experienced together." Cheng Yunchuan continued to persuade, "Do you really want to watch her disappear from your life?"

Lu Jingchen's mind flashed back to every moment he and Jiang Mubai had together, those sweet memories, those painful struggles, and that unforgettable love.

Suddenly, Lu Xingchen woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Lu Jingchen, and asked in a baby voice: "Dad, where are we going?"

Lu Jingchen looked at his daughter's eyes and suddenly made a decision. He took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Cheng Yunchuan, and said firmly: "Yunchuan, thank you. I know what I should do."

He hugged Lu Xingchen tightly in his arms, turned and walked out of the bar, chasing in the direction Jiang Mubai left... He didn't know if he could catch up with Jiang Mubai, nor did he know if he could save this broken love, but he knew that he had to try, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would try his best.

What he didn't know was that Cheng Yunchuan looked at his departing back with a barely perceptible sneer on his face...

Jiang Mubai staggered along the street in the middle of the night. The noisy music in the bar was gradually left behind, replaced by the sound of her chaotic heartbeat. Lu Jingchen, this name was like a thorn, piercing her heart. She thought that time could dilute everything and let her forget those painful memories, but the encounter tonight made her understand that some scars can never heal.

Tears blurred her vision, she didn't know how long she had been walking, nor where she was going. She just wanted to escape, escape from this suffocating city, and escape from this heartbreaking relationship.

Suddenly, a big warm hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back from the edge of collapse.

"Mubai!"

The familiar voice made Jiang Mubai tremble all over. She turned around suddenly and saw Lu Jingchen standing behind her, panting, with the sleeping Lu Xingchen in his arms.

"You..." Jiang Mubai choked up and couldn't speak.

"Mu Bai, I'm sorry!" Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly, his eyes full of guilt and pleading, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have not believed you and let you suffer so much alone."

Jiang Mubai's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She shook off Lu Jingchen's hand and cried, "Lu Jingchen, it's too late! It's impossible between us!"
