Chapter 945 Won
"What exactly do you want to say?" Cheng Yunchuan said straight to the point in an unfriendly tone.
Lin Zixuan sat down opposite him, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip slowly. "Don't worry, let's talk slowly." He paused, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "Do you know? The child in Jiang Mubai's belly is not yours at all."
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He stood up suddenly, grabbed Lin Zixuan's collar, and asked with gritted teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Lin Zixuan met his gaze fearlessly, with a sneer on his face. "You know whether I am talking nonsense or not. That night, she was with me..."
"Shut up!" Cheng Yunchuan roared and punched Lin Zixuan hard in the face.
Lin Zixuan staggered after being beaten, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. But he was not angry at all, instead he laughed even more wildly. "What? Are you angry because of shame? Do you think you really understand her? Jiang Mubai, she is a fickle woman!"
Cheng Yunchuan's rationality completely collapsed at this moment. He punched and kicked Lin Zixuan like an enraged beast, and the bar suddenly became a mess.
"Cheng Yunchuan, calm down!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Cheng Yunchuan paused, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Jiang Mubai standing at the door. She was pale, looking at him with complicated eyes, which were filled with unspeakable pain and disappointment.
"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan muttered to himself, and his fists slowly loosened.
Jiang Mubai walked up to him, glanced at him coldly, and then turned to Lin Zixuan. "Lin Zixuan, that's enough! It's over between you and me a long time ago, why are you still entangled?!"
Lin Zixuan sneered. "Entangled? Jiang Mubai, do you dare to say that you have no attachment to me? Do you dare to say that the child in your belly is not mine?"
Jiang Mubai's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. She bit her lips tightly, as if she was trying her best to restrain something.
Suddenly, she raised her head, with a look of determination in her eyes. "Okay, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you the truth!" She took a deep breath and said slowly, "My child... is mine, but not Cheng Yunchuan's, nor yours..."
Cheng Yunchuan and Lin Zixuan were both stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
"My child... is..." Jiang Mubai's voice choked, "is..."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "My child... is... mine alone."
The bar was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Cheng Yunchuan and Lin Zixuan were both stunned, as if they were struck by lightning.
"You...what did you say?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Jiang Mubai burst into tears. She covered her face and choked up, saying, "I did IVF... I... I don't want to wait any longer..."
Cheng Yunchuan felt dizzy, staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the sofa behind him. He felt as if his heart was torn apart, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
Lin Zixuan was also stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to say such a thing. He looked at Jiang Mubai with a complicated expression, including shock, confusion, and a hint of...heartache?
Jiang Mubai slowly put down his hand, looked at Cheng Yunchuan with tearful eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry... Yunchuan... I... I'm too selfish..."
Cheng Yunchuan shook his head weakly. He felt as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything.
"Why?" After a long time, he finally squeezed out these two words.
Jiang Mubai bit his lips, tears streaming down his face. "I... I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll leave me..."
"Leave you?" Cheng Yunchuan smiled bitterly, "Why would I leave you? I love you, Mu Bai!"
"But...but I'm afraid..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, "I'm afraid that one day you will leave me like he did..."
"Him?" Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai in confusion.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and said slowly: "My ex-husband...he...he abandoned me..."
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to have such a past. He looked at Jiang Mubai with eyes full of heartache and pity.
"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan stretched out his hand and wanted to hug her.
Jiang Mubai dodged, she shook her head and said, "Don't touch me! I... I'm dirty..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart felt like it was pierced by needles. He looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
"Mubai, listen to me..." Cheng Yunchuan tried to explain, but Jiang Mubai interrupted him.
"Stop talking! I don't want to listen!" Jiang Mubai covered his ears and burst into tears.
Lin Zixuan looked at this scene with mixed feelings. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to be so fragile and so afraid of losing. He looked at Cheng Yunchuan, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
"Cheng Yunchuan," Lin Zixuan suddenly said, "Go away and leave her alone."
Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He looked at Jiang Mubai deeply, then turned and left the bar.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's departing back, and her tears became more violent. She squatted down, hugged her knees, and cried silently.
Lin Zixuan stood aside, looking at her silently. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He only knew that his heart was in pain.
Suddenly, Jiang Mubai stopped crying. She raised her head and looked at Lin Zixuan, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Lin Zixuan," Jiang Mubai's voice was hoarse but firm, "Let's... start over."
Lin Zixuan was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Jiang Mubai with shock and confusion in his eyes.
"You...what did you say?"
Jiang Mubai stood up, walked to Lin Zixuan, looked him straight in the eyes, and said word by word: "I say, let's start over."
Lin Zixuan looked at Jiang Mubai, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He didn't know why Jiang Mubai suddenly made such a decision, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
"Mu Bai, you..."
"I know what you are thinking," Jiang Mubai interrupted Lin Zixuan, "I know that what I did was very selfish and I am very sorry to Yunchuan. But...but I don't want to be alone anymore..."
Jiang Mubai's voice trembled and tears welled up in his eyes again.
Lin Zixuan looked at Jiang Mubai, feeling mixed emotions. He reached out his hand, gently stroked Jiang Mubai's cheek, and said softly, "Don't cry, Mubai. Everything is over..."
Jiang Mubai leaned in Lin Zixuan's arms, crying silently.
Lin Zixuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in his eyes.
He won.
