Chapter 989 Why do this?
Jiang Mubai looked at the photo with mixed feelings. She was actually married, and the man she married was a complete stranger!
"Why do you do this?" Jiang Mubai asked, with a hint of grievance and confusion in his tone.
Li Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai with deep eyes and spoke slowly, "Because I love you, Mubai. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were my destined wife."
He paused and continued, "I know you have lost your memory and don't remember me. It doesn't matter. I will make you fall in love with me again."
Jiang Mubai looked at Li Jingchen's affectionate eyes, and a ripple appeared in her heart. Does this man really love her?
Suddenly, Li Jingchen's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and his face instantly turned gloomy, "What did you say? She ran away?"
Li Jingchen's face was terribly gloomy, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white. Jiang Mubai looked at him, and the ripples in his heart that had just emerged disappeared instantly, replaced by an inexplicable fear.
"Who is she?" Jiang Mubai asked cautiously.
Li Jingchen took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. "An insignificant person." He threw the phone aside and hugged Jiang Mubai again. "Don't think about her. Let's go home."
Go home? Jiang Mubai smiled bitterly. She didn't even know who this man was. How could she have a home? She was like a puppet, letting Li Jingchen manipulate her.
The luxurious villa and the extravagant decoration all showed Li Jingchen's power and status. The servants respectfully called her "Madam", which made her feel very unreal.
"Are you hungry?" Li Jingchen asked gently.
Jiang Mubai shook her head. She had no appetite at all.
"What's wrong?" Li Jingchen noticed that Jiang Mubai was acting strangely, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I..." Jiang Mubai hesitated, "I want to know what's going on between us?"
Li Jingchen pulled Jiang Mubai to sit on the sofa and patiently explained, "Three months ago, you were filming in Las Vegas and we met. You were drunk and we..." He paused, "had sex. Then, we got married."
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly. She couldn't believe that she had sex with a strange man while drunk and even got married!
"I don't remember..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled.
"I know." Li Jingchen hugged her in his arms distressedly, "It's okay, I'll let you remember it slowly."
In the next few days, Li Jingchen treated Jiang Mubai with all his care and tenderness. He took her shopping, to the amusement park, and to eat all kinds of delicious food. He treated her like a treasure, carefully protecting her.
Jiang Mubai gradually developed a liking for Li Jingchen. His gentleness, his thoughtfulness, and his domineeringness made her irresistible.
However, just when Jiang Mubai was about to fall, she unexpectedly found a photo. In the photo, Li Jingchen and a woman were hugging each other intimately. That woman was the "she" he mentioned on the phone.
Jiang Mubai felt as if her heart was stabbed by a needle, and she felt great pain. She questioned Li Jingchen, but Li Jingchen just said lightly that the woman was his ex-girlfriend and they had broken up.
Jiang Mubai didn't completely believe Li Jingchen's explanation, but she still chose to forgive him. She told herself that everyone has a past, and as long as Li Jingchen loves her now, that's enough.
However, things were not as simple as Jiang Mubai imagined.
One night, Jiang Mubai found a document in Li Jingchen's study. It clearly read: Jiang Mubai, schizophrenia patient.
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at the contents of the document again and again, her heart filled with doubts and fear.
She thought about what had happened during this period, how Li Jingchen had taken good care of her, and the sweet words he had said. Was all this fake? Was he approaching her just to control her?
Jiang Mubai's mind was in a mess. She didn't know who to trust or what to do.
At this moment, Li Jingchen pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw the documents in Jiang Mubai's hand, his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Have you seen it all?"
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Li Jingchen, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
Li Jingchen approached Jiang Mubai step by step, with a cold smile on his face, "It seems that you don't need me anymore..." He snatched the document from Jiang Mubai's hand and tore it into pieces, "In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"
He suddenly grabbed Jiang Mubai's neck, his eyes filled with murderous intent...
The suffocating pressure made Jiang Mubai's eyes go dark. Her instinct for survival made her struggle desperately, but she was as powerless as a trapped animal. The gentle mask on Li Jingchen's face was completely shattered, replaced by a terrifying sinister look. Just when she thought she was going to die here, a rapid knock on the door broke the desperate deadlock.
"Mr. Li! Mr. Cheng is here!" The assistant's panicked voice came from outside the door.
Li Jingchen's fingers suddenly loosened, and Jiang Mubai collapsed on the ground, breathing in the fresh air, like a dying fish finally returning to the water. Li Jingchen straightened his messy collar, and glanced at Jiang Mubai with a sinister look, warning: "Don't play tricks."
Then he turned and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Cheng Yunchuan, dressed in casual clothes, holding a box of exquisite snacks in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere in the room. Seeing Jiang Mubai slumped on the ground, Cheng Yunchuan's smile froze, and then he looked at Li Jingchen sharply: "What's going on?"
Li Jingchen chuckled and said nonchalantly, "It's just a joke between husband and wife, Mr. Cheng, don't take it seriously."
Cheng Yunchuan ignored Li Jingchen's explanation and walked straight to Jiang Mubai and helped her up. "Are you okay?" His voice was filled with a subtle concern.
Jiang Mubai shook her head, looked at Li Jingchen in shock, and said nothing. Cheng Yunchuan's appearance undoubtedly gave her a glimmer of hope, but she knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
"Mr. Li, I came here this time to talk to you about Jiang Mubai." Cheng Yunchuan put the snacks on the table and his tone became serious.
Li Jingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "Oh? What does Mr. Cheng want to talk about?"
"I think your treatment of Jiang Mubai was a bit too extreme." Cheng Yunchuan looked directly into Li Jingchen's eyes, his tone uncompromising.
"Too radical?" Li Jingchen sneered, "She is my wife. It seems that it is not Mr. Cheng's turn to tell me how to treat her, right?"
"What if I tell you that I know the true identity of your so-called 'wife'?" Cheng Yunchuan's tone was calm but powerful.
