Chapter 1265 Nostalgia
She paused, looking out the window, her eyes empty and blurry: "It's... you!"
Jiang Mubai's words were like thunder, exploding in Cheng Yunchuan's ears.
His eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make any sound. How could it be him? How could he be the "K" who betrayed "J"?
After the great shock, it was replaced by endless anger and pain.
The woman he had loved so deeply had actually been hurt by him! This heart-piercing pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"No...not possible."
Cheng Yunchuan uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper: "I...how could I possibly betray you."
Jiang Mubai looked at him with cold eyes, without a trace of warmth: "Have you forgotten? Five years ago, in Country A, in order to gain the Qin family's approval, you betrayed me and gave all my information to Qin Yuanqing."
As Jiang Mubai told the story, the dusty fragments of memory in Cheng Yunchuan's mind gradually pieced together.
Five years ago, in order to avenge his mother, get close to the Qin family, and gain Mr. Qin's trust, he did do some things that went against his conscience, but he never thought that he would hurt Jiang Mubai!
"No... I didn't." Cheng Yunchuan covered his head in pain. Those memory fragments pierced into his brain like sharp knives, making him feel excruciating pain.
Jiang Mubai's voice was still cold: "You don't have to lie to yourself anymore. I know you have always regarded me as her substitute."
"No! It's not!"
Cheng Yunchuan suddenly raised his head and grabbed Jiang Mubai's hand, his eyes full of despair and pleading: "I admit that I treated you as her substitute at first, but later... later the person I fell in love with was you! The real you!"
Jiang Mubai looked at him, his eyes wavering for a moment, but soon returned to their coldness: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Cheng Yunchuan held her hand tightly, his tone firm and sincere: "Mu Bai, I love you! I never thought of hurting you! What happened five years ago was a misunderstanding! I didn't know J was you at the time."
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Misunderstanding? You gave all my information to Qin Yuanqing, this is called a misunderstanding? Do you know that I almost died because of you?"
Cheng Yunchuan's body suddenly stiffened. He looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and self-blame: "I'm sorry... I didn't know."
"What's the point of saying sorry now?"
Jiang Mubai shook his hand away with all his strength, saying resolutely: "It's over between us."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Cheng Yunchuan standing there alone, sitting on the ground dejectedly as if his soul had been sucked out.
He closed his eyes in pain, tears rolling down his eyes. He destroyed his own happiness and their love with his own hands.
Jiang Mubai returned to his apartment, locked himself in the room, and let the tears flow freely.
She thought she had let it go, but when those painful memories came back to her mind again, she realized that the wound had always been there and had never healed.
She hated Cheng Yunchuan, hated his betrayal, hated his deception, but deep in her hatred, there was a trace of attachment that was hard to give up.
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai isolated himself and refused to contact anyone.
She recalled every detail of her time with Cheng Yunchuan over and over again, from their first meeting, to their subsequent love, and to their final betrayal.
Those sweet memories have now turned into bitter poison, gnawing at my bones and heart.
Cheng Yunchuan, on the other hand, was looking for Jiang Mubai everywhere like a madman.
He went to her home, her company, and all the places she might go, but he never found her.
He lives in pain and self-blame every day, regretting what he had done.
He swore that if he could be given another chance, he would cherish Jiang Mubai and never let her get hurt again.
Just when he was about to despair, he finally found Jiang Mubai.
That day, he happened to pass by a bar, and through the glass window, he saw Jiang Mubai. She was sitting alone at the bar, drinking one glass after another, with an empty and blurred look in her eyes.
Cheng Yunchuan opened the door and walked in. He walked to Jiang Mubai and called softly, "Mubai."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and saw Cheng Yunchuan. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into indifference: "What are you doing here?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame: "Mu Bai, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Mubai turned his head and stopped looking at him: "Go away! I don't want to see you again."
"Mu Bai, please listen to my explanation."
Jiang Mubai interrupted him suddenly, his tone excited: "I don't want to listen, please go away! Please, leave my life!"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her, moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing. He turned and left silently, his back looking desolate and lonely.
Just as he reached the door, Jiang Mubai suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute!"
Cheng Yunchuan stopped, turned around, his eyes full of hope.
Jiang Mubai looked at him, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Let's... start over!"
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's shocked expression and smiled bitterly: "Why? Don't want to?"
“No…it’s not…”
Cheng Yunchuan came back to his senses, walked up to Jiang Mubai excitedly, and hugged her in his arms: "I do! Of course I do!"
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know if what she was doing was right, but she knew that she couldn't let him go.
"But," Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan with a serious look in his eyes: "This time, if you dare to betray me again."
"I won't!" Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her, his tone firm: "I swear, I will never let you get hurt again!"
Jiang Mubai looked at him, with a glimmer of trust in her eyes. She believed that this time, he would do what he said.
The two hugged each other tightly, as if they were about to melt each other. The noisy music in the bar turned into a touching love song at this moment, witnessing their love and reconciliation.
However, just as the two were immersed in the joy of happiness, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared and broke this beautiful picture.
"Hey, isn't this the great actor Cheng? What? Have you found a new love?" A sarcastic voice sounded.
Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai turned their heads at the same time, only to see a seductively dressed woman standing in front of them with a mocking smile on her face.
"Ren Xueer?" Jiang Mubai recognized the person at a glance. It was her plastic sister from her movie queen days.
Ren Xueer's fingers, painted with scarlet nail polish, frivolously curled her hair. Her eyes swept over Jiang Mubai with contempt, and finally landed on Cheng Yunchuan. She said in a sour tone: "Mr. Cheng is really nostalgic. It's only been a short time, and you've rekindled your old relationship with your white moonlight?"
