Chapter 1071 Church
Chapter 1071 Church
Cheng Yunchuan felt his blood freeze. Five years ago, Jiang Mubai left without saying goodbye, leaving only an ambiguous promise. Five years later, she came back with a child and an unsolvable fog. Lu Jingshen's words were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. Happy to be a father? The word was like a fire, burning in his chest, burning his reason.
He stared at Jiang Mubai intently, trying to find a flaw, a trace of panic, a trace of guilt on her face. But there was none, he only saw despair, pain, and... deep love?
"Yunchuan... I..." Jiang Mubai stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch him, but it fell down weakly in mid-air. She wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless at this moment.
Lu Jingshen smiled contemptuously, "What? You can't tell it, right? Jiang Mubai, you are such a brilliant liar! You have deceived me for five years, and now you want to deceive Cheng Yunchuan?"
"Shut up!" Cheng Yunchuan suddenly exploded. He turned around and grabbed Lu Jingshen by the collar, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to kill him. "What qualifications do you have to say anything about her?"
Lu Jingshen was shocked by his aura and was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "I... I am the victim! I was deceived by her for five years! I..."
"Victim?" Cheng Yunchuan sneered and pushed him away. "You toyed with her for five years, and now you still have the nerve to say that you are a victim?"
"You...you are talking nonsense!" Lu Jingshen became angry and punched Cheng Yunchuan.
Cheng Yunchuan dodged it easily and punched Lu Jingshen in the face with his backhand. Lu Jingshen screamed and fell to the ground.
"Brother Jingshen!" The girl named Siqi screamed and rushed to Lu Jingshen, stroking his face distressedly, "How are you? Does it hurt?"
Lu Jingshen pushed her away, struggled to stand up, and pointed at Cheng Yunchuan, "You... you dare to hit me? You..."
"What's wrong with hitting you?" Cheng Yunchuan approached him step by step, his eyes cold, "If you dare to slander her again, I will make you regret coming into this world!"
Lu Jingshen was so frightened by him that he dared not speak anymore. He could only hide behind Siqi and glare at him fiercely.
Cheng Yunchuan ignored him and turned to walk to Jiang Mubai. He squatted down gently and wiped the tears from her face gently. "Mubai, tell me, whose child is this?" His voice was very soft, but with unquestionable firmness.
Jiang Mubai looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes again. She choked and trembled, and finally told the secret that had been buried in her heart for five years and made her feel so miserable, "It's... it's yours..."
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned, his mind went blank, as if a bolt of lightning had split his head, making him lose the ability to think in an instant.
"What?" He couldn't believe his ears and wondered if he was hallucinating.
Jiang Mubai nodded while crying, "Five years ago, we..." She recounted everything that happened five years ago in a disjointed manner, including their meeting, their love, their separation, and the birth of their child.
Cheng Yunchuan listened to her story, the shock and ecstasy in his heart intertwined, making him almost unable to breathe. He hugged her tightly, feeling her temperature and her heartbeat.
"Mu Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't know..." He choked and his voice trembled.
Jiang Mubai shook his head, "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye..."
"No, it's my fault. I didn't protect you well..."
The two hugged each other tightly, their tears blending together. The church was silent, with only their cries and whispers echoing.
Suddenly, the door of the church was pushed open, and a tall man walked in. He was wearing a black suit, with a stern expression on his face. He walked straight to Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, and said coldly, "Cheng Yunchuan, if you've had enough fun, get out! Don't delay my daughter's wedding!"
Cheng Yunchuan raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "You are..."
The man snorted coldly, "I am Jiang Mubai's father!" He pulled Jiang Mubai up and said, "Come home with me!"
Jiang Mubai struggled, "Dad, I..."
"Shut up! Come home with me!" Jiang's father interrupted her without question and pulled her out.
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly and stood in front of them, "Uncle, please listen to my explanation..."
"Explain? What else is there to explain?" Father Jiang glared at him.
He, "Do you think I don't know who you are? You are just an actor! You are not worthy of my daughter!"
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale instantly. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh...
Cheng Yunchuan's face was pale, and his clenched fists were trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to control his surging emotions, and said word by word: "Uncle, what's wrong with being an actor? I, Cheng Yunchuan, make a living with my own ability, I am honest and upright, much better than some people who only know how to show off under the protection of their parents!"
Father Jiang laughed in anger, "How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?!"
"I know you are Jiang Mubai's father, a stubborn old man with a head full of pedantic ideas!" Cheng Yunchuan fought back without giving in, staring at Jiang's father with burning eyes, "But so what? Mubai loves me, the child is mine, you can't stop us!"
Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan in shock. She had never seen him so tough before. After five years, he seemed to have become more mature and more...charming. A warm current surged in her heart, and tears blurred her eyes again.
"You..." Father Jiang was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his fingers were trembling as he pointed at Cheng Yunchuan. "Okay! Okay! Okay! Just wait for me!" He swung his sleeves and turned to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Jiang Mubai fiercely.
The church was quiet again, with only Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai. Cheng Yunchuan turned around and gently embraced Jiang Mubai, "Mubai, don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.
Jiang Mubai hugged him tightly, buried her head in his chest, and felt his warm embrace. After five years, she finally felt his breath and his temperature again. She breathed greedily, as if to make up for all that she had lost in the past five years.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai choked with sobs, his voice trembling, "I... I miss you so much..."
Cheng Yunchuan stroked her hair gently, "I miss you too, Mu Bai. Have you been doing well in the past five years?"
Jiang Mubai shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Not good, not good at all..." She recounted her experiences over the past five years in a halting manner, including how she gave birth to a child with great difficulty, how she raised the child alone, and how she endured pressure from family and society.
Cheng Yunchuan felt heartbroken as he listened to her story. He hugged her tightly, wishing he could take all the pain on himself.
