Chapter 940 Like You
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I was protecting her! In this dirty world, only I can give her happiness!"
"You're really crazy!" Lu Jingchen took a step back with the child in his arms. He didn't want to get entangled with this lunatic anymore.
At this moment, a clear female voice came from the door: "Cheng Yunchuan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Mubai stood at the door, her face pale, her eyes full of shock and disappointment. She didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to do such a thing.
Seeing Jiang Mubai, Cheng Yunchuan's expression softened instantly. "Mubai, listen to my explanation. All this is for you..."
"For me?" Jiang Mubai interrupted him, "You kidnapped Lu Jingchen's son for me?"
Cheng Yunchuan was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to know about this so quickly.
"Cheng Yunchuan," Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, "You disappoint me so much."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and despair. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
"Mu Bai, I..."
Jiang Mubai turned around and stopped looking at him. "It's over between us."
After saying that, Jiang Mubai turned and left, leaving Cheng Yunchuan standing there alone, like a sculpture that had lost its soul.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. He was happy that Jiang Mubai finally saw Cheng Yunchuan's true face, but he was sad that there was no possibility between him and Jiang Mubai anymore.
He held the child and left the factory silently.
A few days later, Cheng Yunchuan was sentenced to ten years in prison for kidnapping.
Lu Jingchen returned home with his son and started a new life. He put all his energy on his son and tried his best to be a good father.
Jiang Mubai also started a new life. She left the city and went to a place where no one knew her and started over.
A year later, Lu Jingchen took his son to the amusement park and saw a familiar figure on the carousel.
Jiang Mubai.
She was wearing a simple white dress, with long flowing hair and a faint smile on her face. She looked more mature and more beautiful than before.
Their eyes met.
Lu Jingchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt like he had returned to the young boy many years ago when he first met Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai also saw Lu Jingchen, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a hint of joy.
She walked towards Lu Jingchen.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know what to say or what to do.
"how is your day?"
Jiang Mubai nodded and said with a smile, "I'm fine. How about you?"
"I am fine too."
There was silence.
"He... is your son?" Jiang Mubai asked, looking at the child in Lu Jingchen's arms.
Lu Jingchen nodded. "His name is Lu Xingchen."
Jiang Mubai reached out and gently touched Lu Xingchen's little face. "He's very cute."
Lu Xingchen looked at Jiang Mubai and suddenly smiled.
Jiang Mubai also laughed.
Lu Jingchen looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Maybe, it's not over yet.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked up to Jiang Mubai and put his arm around her shoulders affectionately. The man was handsome and tall, and he looked like a successful person.
"Honey, it's time for us to go." The man said to Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai nodded, then turned to Lu Jingchen and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and left with the man.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai's departing back, and suddenly he felt an indescribable sense of loss in his heart...
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai's receding back, his heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, and his breathing became sluggish. He hugged his son tightly, and Lu Xingchen's little hands slapped his face randomly, babbling something, but he couldn't hear anything.
He recalled the first time he saw Jiang Mubai. She stood in the center of the stage, the lights focused on her, dazzling like a star. He was still a young boy at that time, but he fell in love with her at first sight and never forgot her. Later, he tried his best to get close to her and carefully protected her, thinking that he would finally see the moon after waiting for her, but he didn't expect that it was all in vain.
"Daddy, hug me." Lu Xingchen's babyish voice brought him back to reality. Lu Jingchen looked down at his son, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. He hugged Lu Xingchen tighter, as if he was grabbing the last straw.
He walked aimlessly and unknowingly came to a bar. The dim lights and noisy music made him feel a little numb and comfortable. He ordered a glass of strong liquor and drank it all. The spicy liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, as if it was going to burn away all his memories.
He drank one glass after another and soon got drunk. In a daze, he saw a familiar figure walking into the bar. Jiang Mubai? He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
Jiang Mubai seemed to have seen him as well and walked straight over. She was dressed very differently today, no longer in that pure white dress, but in a sexy black tight skirt that showed off her exquisite figure. Her flaming red lips were charming and attractive, like a blooming poppy, exuding a dangerous and charming aura.
"Lu Jingchen?" She called his name softly, her voice a little hoarse, like poison mixed with honey.
Lu Jingchen stared at her blankly, unable to speak for a moment. He felt like he was dreaming, a bizarre, yet incredibly real dream.
"What? You don't recognize me?" Jiang Mubai chuckled and sat down opposite him. His slender fingers gently stroked the wine glass, his eyes blurred.
"No, no..." Lu Jingchen finally found his voice, but he seemed a little incoherent, "You... why are you here?"
"Why, I can't come here?" Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows, his tone containing a hint of provocation.
"No, that's not what I meant..." Lu Jingchen hurriedly explained, but the more he explained, the more confused he became.
Jiang Mubai looked at his flustered appearance, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Lu Jingchen, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."
"You...you have changed." Lu Jingchen mustered up the courage to say, his eyes falling on her sexy red lips, his Adam's apple rolling unconsciously.
Jiang Mubai chuckled and did not deny it. "Yes, I have changed. This year, I have experienced a lot and grown a lot."
"That man..." Lu Jingchen hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind, "Who is he?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then returned to her usual charm. "Just an insignificant person." She paused, then added, "Just like you."
