The top star opened his eyes and became cannon fodder, the celebrity's wife was exposed

Chapter 976 Injured

Cheng Yunchuan recognized the man as Lin Wan'er's brother, Lin Hao.

Lin Hao raised his fist and hit Cheng Yunchuan hard in the face.

Cheng Yunchuan was beaten so hard that he staggered back, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

“Brother, stop it!” Lin Wan’er quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Hao, “Don’t hit him!”

"I must teach this scumbag a lesson today!" Lin Hao roared, and he raised his fist again and hit Cheng Yunchuan.

Lin Wan'er stood in front of Cheng Yunchuan, and Lin Hao's fist landed on her.

"Wan'er!" Cheng Yunchuan exclaimed, and he quickly supported Lin Wan'er, "How are you?"

Lin Wan'er's face was pale, she covered her chest and coughed painfully.

"Brother, what are you doing! You hit Wan'er!" Cheng Yunchuan glared at Lin Hao angrily.

Lin Hao then realized that he had hit the wrong person. He apologized in panic: "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Brother, I'm fine." Lin Wan'er said weakly.

Cheng Yunchuan supported Lin Wan'er and turned to leave the bar.

Lin Hao stood there, looking at their backs with complicated eyes.

Cheng Yunchuan sent Lin Wan'er to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, he said it was a minor soft tissue contusion and she would be fine after a few days of rest.

Cheng Yunchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He sat beside Lin Wan'er's bed, held her hand, and said, "Wan'er, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "Yunchuan, I'm fine. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that you and Jiang Mubai..." Lin Wan'er hesitated, not knowing whether she should ask.

"There's nothing between her and me." Cheng Yunchuan quickly explained, "We're just friends."

"Really?" Lin Wan'er's eyes were full of doubt.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Lin Wan'er's eyes and felt annoyed. He stood up suddenly and said, "Wan'er, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left the ward.

Lin Wan'er looked at his back, tears silently flowing down her face.

Cheng Yunchuan walked out of the hospital, took out his cell phone and called Jiang Mubai.

"Where are you?"

"I'm..." Jiang Mubai's voice was a little hoarse, "I'm on the overpass."

Cheng Yunchuan hung up the phone and drove to the overpass.

He came to the overpass and saw Jiang Mubai standing by the bridge, looking at the traffic below.

The night wind messed up her hair and her thoughts.

Cheng Yunchuan walked up to her and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Mubai turned his head and looked at him, his eyes blurred, "I was wondering, what would it feel like if I jumped from here?"

Cheng Yunchuan's heart tightened. Jiang Mubai's current state frightened him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the bridge. "What nonsense are you talking about! Why do you want to kill yourself when you can't just solve the problem properly?"

Jiang Mubai was startled by his sudden action and stumbled into his arms. She didn't struggle, but just leaned against him quietly, tears falling silently. "Yunchuan, I'm so tired of living..."

Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly, feeling her body trembling, and felt distressed. He patted her back gently, like coaxing a child, "I know, I know you are tired. Tell me, what happened? Let's face it together."

Jiang Mubai sobbed in his arms and told him intermittently about everything that had happened recently: the online abuse, the pressure from the company, the fans’ unfollowing, and... the existence of Lin Wan'er.

Cheng Yunchuan listened, his face becoming more and more gloomy. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to have endured so much. He always thought she was strong and independent and could handle everything, but he ignored that she also needed a shoulder to lean on.

"It's all my fault," Cheng Yunchuan blamed himself, "I shouldn't have let you bear this alone."

"No, it's not your fault," Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes, "It's just that I'm useless."

Cheng Yunchuan held her face and gently wiped away her tears. "Don't say that. You've tried very hard." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, gently and devoutly. "From now on, I will always be by your side, protecting you and not letting you suffer any more grievances."

Jiang Mubai closed his eyes, feeling his warm embrace and gentle kiss, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Cheng Yunchuan took Jiang Mubai back to his apartment. He poured her a glass of warm water and asked her to sit on the sofa and rest. "I'll make you something to eat."

Jiang Mubai nodded, looking at his back, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Cheng Yunchuan cooked a few simple home-cooked dishes, and the two ate in silence. Jiang Mubai's mood gradually stabilized, and he began to take the initiative to chat with Cheng Yunchuan.

"Yunchuan, is there really nothing going on between you and Lin Wan'er?" She couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.

Cheng Yunchuan put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously, "Mu Bai, she and I are just ordinary friends. You are the only one in my heart."

Jiang Mubai looked at his sincere eyes, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. "I believe you."

The two smiled at each other and the atmosphere became relaxed.

After dinner, Cheng Yunchuan cleaned up the dishes while Jiang Mubai curled up on the sofa watching TV.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Cheng Yunchuan opened the door and saw Lin Wan'er standing outside, her face pale and looking haggard.

"Yunchuan..." Lin Wan'er's voice was weak, with a hint of crying.

Jiang Mubai's heart sank when he heard Lin Wan'er's voice. She stood up from the sofa and walked to the door.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Mubai's tone was cold, not hiding his hostility at all.

Lin Wan'er's face turned even paler when she saw Jiang Mubai. She bit her lip and said nothing.

"Wan'er, why are you here?" Cheng Yunchuan walked up to Lin Wan'er and asked with concern.

"Yunchuan, I... I'm pregnant." Lin Wan'er's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were both stunned.

The air seemed to freeze, and a strange silence fell between the three of them.

Jiang Mubai felt her mind go blank and her ears buzzed. She looked at Cheng Yunchuan with eyes full of disbelief and deep hurt.

Cheng Yunchuan's face also turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He subconsciously looked at Jiang Mubai, but saw the painful expression on her face, and his heart felt like being stabbed by needles.

"The child... is it mine?" he asked with difficulty, his voice dry.

Lin Wan'er nodded, tears streaming even harder, "It's... it's yours."

Jiang Mubai couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed Cheng Yunchuan away, turned around and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

The loud bang was particularly harsh in the silent apartment.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the closed door, his heart filled with regret and helplessness. He didn't know how to face Jiang Mubai, nor how to deal with the situation at hand.

He took a deep breath, turned around and said to Lin Wan'er, "Wan'er, go back and rest first. I will take care of this matter."

Lin Wan'er wanted to say something, but when she saw Cheng Yunchuan's determined eyes, she finally left silently.
