Chapter 1137 I Won’t Make Mistakes Again
Cheng Yunchuan walked closer, his eyes locked on Jiang Mubai, as if he wanted to devour her. "Mubai," he said in a hoarse voice, with a slight tremor, "Why are you doing this?"
Jiang Mubai opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
"You married him to save me?" Cheng Yunchuan turned his gaze to Cheng Yunfeng with a hint of hostility.
Cheng Yunfeng sneered: "Why, are you feeling heartbroken? Unfortunately, it's too late." He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, declaring his ownership.
"Let her go!" Cheng Yunchuan roared and rushed forward to pull the two apart.
Cheng Yunfeng pushed him away: "Cheng Yunchuan, you'd better understand, Mu Bai is my wife now!"
"Wife?" Cheng Yunchuan staggered back a step, his eyes full of pain, "Mu Bai, tell me, this is not true, right?"
Jiang Mubai's tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to nod, but she couldn't deny it.
Seeing Jiang Mubai acquiesce, Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have lost all his strength and stepped back dejectedly. He closed his eyes painfully, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already cold.
"Okay, very good." He said word by word, "Jiang Mubai, remember the choice you made today!" After that, he turned and left, his back looking desolate and resolute.
The church was silent except for Jiang Mubai's suppressed crying. Cheng Yunfeng looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
The wedding continued, but there was no blessing, no joy, only endless depression and pain. Jiang Mubai was like a puppet, numbly completing all the ceremonies.
After marriage, Cheng Yunfeng treated Jiang Mubai with all his tenderness. He gave her expensive gifts, took her to travel around the world, and fulfilled all her wishes. However, none of these could fill the emptiness in Jiang Mubai's heart. She was like a canary in captivity. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she had lost her freedom and happiness.
She would think of Cheng Yunchuan every day, thinking of his smile, his gentleness, and his affection. She regretted her choice, but was powerless to change it.
One night, Jiang Mubai had a dream. She dreamed that Cheng Yunchuan was lying in her arms, covered in blood, dying.
"Mu Bai, I love you..." he said with his last bit of strength.
Jiang Mubai woke up in a cold sweat. She couldn't stand this torture any longer and decided to go find Cheng Yunchuan.
She sneaked out of the villa and drove to Cheng Yunchuan's apartment. However, the apartment was empty. The neighbor told her that Cheng Yunchuan had moved away and no one knew where he had gone.
Jiang Mubai returned to the villa in a state of despair, like a walking corpse. Cheng Yunfeng watched her getting thinner and thinner, his eyes full of worry.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong with you?" he asked gently.
Jiang Mubai looked at him and suddenly smiled, a smile that was desolate and desperate. "Cheng Yunfeng, you won. You got me, but you can't get my heart."
Cheng Yunfeng's expression changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. "Jiang Mubai, you'd better not challenge my bottom line."
"You've already trampled my bottom line." Jiang Mubai looked at him coldly, "Do you think you can get my love by imprisoning me? You are wrong, you will never get it!"
Cheng Yunfeng grabbed her wrist with such force that he almost crushed her bones. "Jiang Mubai, say it again!"
Jiang Mubai met his gaze fearlessly and said word by word: "I love Cheng Yunchuan, forever!"
A trace of pain flashed in Cheng Yunfeng's eyes, he suddenly let go of his hand and fell dejectedly on the sofa.
Just then, the doorbell rang. The servant opened the door and a courier came in with a letter in his hand.
"This is from Mr. Cheng Yunchuan to Ms. Jiang Mubai."
Jiang Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and he took the letter tremblingly. There was only one line of words on the envelope:
"Mu Bai, wait for me."
Jiang Mubai's tears burst out again, this time, they were tears of joy. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan had not given up on her, he was still waiting for her.
She looked at Cheng Yunfeng, her eyes full of determination. "Cheng Yunfeng, let's get a divorce."
Cheng Yunfeng raised his head and looked at her, his eyes full of disbelief. "What did you say?"
Cheng Yunfeng was stunned, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, waking him up from his sweet dream. He couldn't believe his ears, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.
Jiang Mubai ignored his shock and continued, "This letter was sent by Cheng Yunchuan. He told me to wait for him." She raised the letter in her hand, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
Cheng Yunfeng's eyes fell on the letter. Those few simple words were like a sharp blade that pierced his heart. He always thought that as long as Cheng Yunchuan was not around, he could slowly warm Jiang Mubai's heart, let her forget the past and fall in love with him. However, reality gave him a hard blow.
He suddenly stood up, walked to Jiang Mubai, snatched the letter from her hand, and tore it to pieces. "No! You can't leave me! You are my wife, Cheng Yunfeng!" He yelled hysterically, his voice full of unwillingness and despair.
Jiang Mubai looked at him coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. "Cheng Yunfeng, calm down. What happened between us was a mistake from the beginning. I have never loved you, and I won't love you now."
"No, you lied to me! You clearly said..." Cheng Yunfeng's voice choked. He thought of the vows Jiang Mubai made at the wedding, and now they were like slaps in the face.
"You forced me to say those words." Jiang Mubai said calmly, "I had no choice but to marry you at that time. But now, I have the opportunity to choose, and I will not make the same mistake again."
Cheng Yunfeng sat back on the sofa dejectedly, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly. He had always thought that if he got Jiang Mubai, he would get the whole world. However, he now realized that what he got was just an empty shell, a body without a soul.
Jiang Mubai didn't look at him again, and turned to walk towards the room. She needed to pack her luggage and leave this place that imprisoned her body and mind.
At this moment, the doorbell rang again. The servant opened the door and a figure walked in.
It’s Cheng Yunchuan.
He looked much thinner than before, with stubble on his chin, and his eyes had a hint of fatigue, but more of determination and affection.
Seeing Jiang Mubai, he quickly walked forward and hugged her tightly. "Mubai, I'm back."
Jiang Mubai's tears burst out again, this time, it was the joy and excitement of reuniting after a long separation. She hugged him back tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body. "Yunchuan, you are finally back."
Cheng Yunfeng looked at this scene and felt as if his heart was torn apart. He wanted to step forward to stop it, but found that he had no strength at all.
