Chapter 1174 I'll Keep You Company
Jiang Mubai shook off his hand violently, tears flashing in his eyes, "You protect me? What can you use to protect me? You will only push me into a deeper abyss!"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes darkened. He knew what Jiang Mubai was referring to. He had once promised to give her a future, but he broke his promise in the end. Now, what qualifications did he have to say that he would protect her?
"Mu Bai, I'm sorry..." He whispered, his tone full of guilt and self-blame.
Jiang Mubai sneered, "I'm sorry? Can a simple "I'm sorry" make up for everything? You ruined my life, do you know that?"
Cheng Yunchuan was silent. He had nothing to say. He knew that no matter what he said, he could not redeem Jiang Mubai's disappointment and hatred towards him.
"Get out of the car." Jiang Mubai said coldly.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her with helplessness and pain in his eyes. He knew that if he insisted on Jiang Mubai staying here, it would only make her more disgusted.
He opened the car door and got out silently. Jiang Mubai also got out of the car and walked into the hospital without looking back. Cheng Yunchuan stood there, watching her back disappear into the hospital gate, his heart was like a knife.
He knew that he had to do something to win back Jiang Mubai's heart.
The next day, when Jiang Mubai woke up, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. She struggled to sit up, but found that her whole body was sore and weak.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Cheng Yunchuan walked in. He was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, with a tired smile on his face.
"You're awake." He walked to the bed and put the porridge on the bedside table. "Are you hungry? I made some porridge for you."
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly. Cheng Yunchuan knew she was still angry, but he didn't give up. He scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew it gently to cool it, and then brought it to Jiang Mubai's mouth.
"Eat something, you haven't eaten all day."
Jiang Mubai turned her head away and rejected his kindness. Cheng Yunchuan was not annoyed, but patiently advised: "Mubai, I know you are still angry with me, but you have to take care of yourself. Even for the sake of the baby in your belly, you can't torture yourself like this."
"Child?" Jiang Mubai turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief. "What did you say? What child?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his tone low and firm: "Mu Bai, you are pregnant, it's our child."
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She had never expected this to happen. She subconsciously touched her belly, feeling mixed emotions.
This sudden news made her feel overwhelmed. She didn't know what to do, how to face Cheng Yunchuan, and even less how to face Lu Jingshen...
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and Lu Jingshen appeared at the door. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, with a cold smile on his face.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time." He said in a mocking tone, his eyes scanning back and forth between Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, "But it doesn't matter, I just happen to have something to talk to you two alone."
The atmosphere in the ward was stagnant, as if it was a taut string that could break at any time. Jiang Mubai's face was pale and his eyes were empty, like an exquisite porcelain doll that had lost all its vitality.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her worriedly, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe.
Lu Jingshen had a sneer on his face, and the bouquet of bright roses in his hand seemed particularly dazzling at the moment: "Cheng Yunchuan, you really are still haunting me. What, do you want to use a self-torture trick to win back Mu Bai's sympathy?"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were stern, and his tone was cold: "Lu Jingshen, Mu Bai needs to rest now. If there is anything, let's go out and talk."
"Go out and talk? Ha, why should I go out? This is my fiancée's ward, and I am the one who is qualified to stay here." Lu Jingshen raised his eyebrows provocatively and threw the bouquet of flowers on the bedside table. The rich fragrance of the flowers filled the air, but it could not cover up the tense atmosphere in the ward.
Jiang Mubai's gaze fell on the bouquet of roses with a complicated look, showing disgust, fatigue, and a hint of unspeakable sadness.
She took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Jingshen, we are done, you can go now."
The smile on Lu Jingshen's face froze. He looked at Jiang Mubai in disbelief, as if he had heard something incredible: "End? Mubai, what are you talking about? We are getting married soon, how can you just say it's over?"
"Marriage? Your so-called marriage is nothing more than a deal." Jiang Mubai interrupted him coldly, with a look of determination in his eyes: "I will not marry you, never."
Lu Jingshen's face turned pale. He took a step forward and wanted to grab Jiang Mubai's hand, but was stopped by Cheng Yunchuan.
"Lu Jingshen, I warn you, don't touch her!" Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were sharp, with a hint of warning in his tone.
"Cheng Yunchuan, what qualifications do you have to warn me? You are just a loser abandoned by Mu Bai!" Lu Jingshen roared, his eyes burning with rage.
"That's enough!" Jiang Mubai shouted weakly. She held onto the edge of the bed and stood up with difficulty: "All of you get out. I don't want to see you!"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her worriedly and wanted to go forward to support her, but was pushed away by Jiang Mubai: "You get out too! I don't want to see anyone!"
Cheng Yunchuan sighed helplessly. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only leave the ward silently. Lu Jingshen glared at him fiercely and followed him out.
Jiang Mubai was the only one left in the ward. She slumped on the bed, tears silently falling. She didn't know what to do. The baby in her belly was like a time bomb, making her panic.
Cheng Yunchuan stood outside the ward, feeling confused. He knew Jiang Mubai was in pain, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. The taste of nicotine calmed him down a little.
Lu Jingshen walked up to him and said in a mocking tone, "Why, are you heartbroken? It's a pity that Mu Bai only has me in his heart now. You don't have a chance anymore."
Cheng Yunchuan glanced at him coldly and said nothing. He didn't want to argue with Lu Jingshen. He knew that the most important thing now was Jiang Mubai's safety and health.
"Cheng Yunchuan, I advise you to give up this idea. Mu Bai is mine, and no one can take him away from me!" Lu Jingshen continued to provoke.
Cheng Yunchuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Lu Jingshen by the collar and looked fierce: "Lu Jingshen, you'd better shut up! If you dare to harass Mu Bai again, I will never let you go!"
Lu Jingshen met his gaze fearlessly, with a sneer on his face: "Why, you want to hit me? Come on, I'll fight you to the end!"
