Chapter 1166 I won’t let anyone hurt you
As time went by, Jiang Mubai's mood became more and more unstable. She was afraid and terrified. She didn't know when Sophie would make this so-called "secret" public. She even began to be afraid to go out or answer any phone calls, for fear of hearing any rumors about this matter.
Cheng Yunchuan saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He stepped up his investigation and tried his best to comfort Jiang Mubai. He took her on trips, shopping, and doing things she liked, trying to make her forget the pain this incident brought.
However, all of this is just a temporary solution. Sophie's threats are always like a thorn in Jiang Mubai's heart, making her unable to truly relax.
One night, Jiang Mubai had a nightmare. She dreamed that Sophie made her "secret" public, all the media were reporting on it, all the fans were scolding her, and she was spurned by everyone and ruined.
She woke up from her dream, sweating all over. She held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.
"Yunchuan," she said tremblingly, "I... I'm scared..."
Cheng Yunchuan hugged her in his arms with heartache, patted her back gently, trying to calm her down.
"Don't be afraid, Mu Bai," he whispered in her ear, "I will protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you."
However, at this moment, Cheng Yunchuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face turned pale instantly.
It's Sophie.
"She...she called again..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled and his eyes were full of fear.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Sophie, what do you want?" His voice was cold and ruthless.
On the other end of the phone, Sophie's voice was full of pride and sarcasm.
"What do I want? It's very simple," she said, "I want you to destroy Jiang Mubai with your own hands. I want her to be ruined and lose her reputation. I want her to taste the pain that I once tasted!"
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
"You're dreaming!" he said through gritted teeth.
"Really?" Sophie sneered, "Then we'll just have to wait and see! Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will make Jiang Mubai's biggest secret public! By then, I will let you see with your own eyes how she fell from heaven to hell!"
After saying that, Sophie hung up the phone.
Cheng Yunchuan held the phone, his face terribly gloomy. He turned to look at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
He knew that Sophie kept her word. If he didn't want Jiang Mubai to be ruined, he had only one choice...
He slowly walked up to Jiang Mubai, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Mu Bai," he said hoarsely, "I... I have a way..."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him nervously, waiting for his next words.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Let's...let's have a fake divorce..."
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't understand why Cheng Yunchuan suddenly made such a request. She stared at him blankly, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Divorce?" She murmured these two words, as if these two words weighed down her and made her breathless. "Why? Why do you want a divorce?"
A trace of pain flashed across Cheng Yunchuan's face. He turned his head away, not daring to look into Jiang Mubai's eyes.
"Sophie...she has your secret..." he said with difficulty, "If we don't divorce, she will make this secret public..."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She understood what Cheng Yunchuan meant. Sophie was forcing him to destroy her with his own hands.
"So... you're planning to sacrifice me?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
Cheng Yunchuan turned his head suddenly and grabbed Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
"No! Mu Bai, listen to me," he said anxiously, "I do this to protect you! Only in this way can I keep your career and everything you have!"
"Protect me?" Jiang Mubai laughed bitterly, "Use divorce to protect me? Yunchuan, are you kidding me?"
Tears slid down Jiang Mubai's cheeks. She shook off Cheng Yunchuan's hand forcefully and staggered back a few steps.
"Go away," she said, choking, "I don't want to see you again..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He wanted to go forward to comfort Jiang Mubai, but he didn't dare to get close to her. He knew that no matter what he said now, he could not make up for the harm he had caused to Jiang Mubai.
He turned silently and left the room.
In the room, Jiang Mubai sat on the ground helplessly, tears streaming down her face. She didn't understand why things turned out like this? Why would the man she loved so much push her into the abyss with his own hands?
The next morning, Jiang Mubai received a call from Cheng Yunchuan.
"Mu Bai, I've prepared the divorce agreement," he said, sounding very tired. "When are you free? Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried hard to control his emotions.
"Okay," she said calmly, "see you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 2pm."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Mubai appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau on time. She was wearing a black dress, her face was pale, and she looked haggard.
Cheng Yunchuan was already waiting for her there. When he saw Jiang Mubai, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing and just silently handed her a divorce agreement.
Jiang Mubai took the agreement and signed his name on it without even looking at it.
Cheng Yunchuan also signed his name and handed the agreement to the staff.
A few minutes later, the staff handed them two red divorce certificates.
Jiang Mubai took the divorce certificate, took a look at it, and then silently put it in his bag.
"Goodbye," she said lightly, then turned and left the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Cheng Yunchuan stood there, watching Jiang Mubai's departing back, his heart ached. He knew that from this moment on, there would be no relationship between him and Jiang Mubai anymore.
He slowly squatted down, buried his head between his arms, and cried silently.
At this moment, a black car stopped in front of him. The car window slowly lowered, revealing Sophie's smug face.
"How is it, Cheng Yunchuan," she said with a smile, "Does it feel bad? This is what happens when you betray me!"
Cheng Yunchuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"Sophie!" he said through gritted teeth, "you will die!"
Sophie didn't care at all, she smiled even more proudly.
"Of course I will die a good death," she said, "because I have already got everything I wanted! But you have lost the person you love most forever!"
After saying that, Sophie rolled up the car window and drove away.
