Chapter 1010 Nightmare
Chapter 1010 Nightmare
The woman was not afraid at all, but became even more arrogant. "Cheng Yunchuan, stop pretending! Do you think I don't know that you and this bitch are having an affair? You two were being affectionate in the ward, do you really think I'm blind?"
Cheng Yunchuan's fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He suppressed his anger and spoke word by word, "I'll say it again, there is nothing wrong between Mu Bai and me! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The woman snorted disdainfully: "Cheng Yunchuan, stop pretending! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You've been tired of me for a long time and want to live with this little bitch, right?" As she spoke, she suddenly took out a fruit knife from her bag, pointed it at Jiang Mubai, and shouted hysterically, "I'm going to kill you today, you vixen!"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes instantly froze like ice, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. He snatched the fruit knife from the woman's hand, and pushed her against the wall with his backhand, with the tip of the knife against her throat. "Say it again?" His voice was low, but it was like the whisper of a demon from hell, which was chilling.
The woman turned pale with fear, and the brand-name bag in her hand fell to the ground with a muffled sound. She widened her eyes in horror, her lips trembling, but she couldn't say a word.
Jiang Mubai was stunned by this sudden change. She had never seen Cheng Yunchuan so furious. She wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but she didn't dare to get close. She could only stand aside and watch everything happening nervously.
"Cheng... Cheng Yunchuan... I... I was wrong..." The woman stammered and begged for mercy, her face covered with tears and snot. She no longer had the arrogance she had just now.
Cheng Yunchuan sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "You know you're wrong now? It's too late!"
He suddenly retracted the fruit knife, and the woman slid to the ground like mud. Cheng Yunchuan didn't even look at her, turned around and hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, gently stroking her hair. "It's okay, Mubai, don't be afraid."
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan's angular face, feeling a sense of security in her heart.
"Yunchuan, thank you." She said softly.
Cheng Yunchuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? It is my responsibility to protect you."
He helped Jiang Mubai sit back on the bed, then bent over to pick up the divorce agreement on the floor and tore it into pieces. "Don't read this kind of thing anymore."
Jiang Mubai looked at his overbearing behavior, and a sweet warmth surged in her heart. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan really loved her and cared about her.
After dealing with the troublemaker, the ward finally returned to peace. Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai tenderly, his eyes full of love.
"Mu Bai," he said softly, "Let's get married."
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She didn't expect Cheng Yunchuan to propose marriage at this time.
"What? You don't want to?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Cheng Yunchuan's tone was a little uneasy.
Jiang Mubai came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, "No... I just... it was too sudden..."
Cheng Yunchuan smiled, held her hand, and said affectionately: "I know that a lot of things have happened during this period of time, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. But I want you to know that my love for you has never changed. Marry me, okay?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes were moistened, and she nodded with sobs, "Okay... I do..."
Cheng Yunchuan was ecstatic. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly and said "I love you" over and over again in her ear.
The ward was filled with a sweet atmosphere, as if the whole world was filled with the taste of happiness.
However, at this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He held a document in his hand and said to Cheng Yunchuan expressionlessly: "Mr. Cheng, we found that you are suspected of a commercial fraud case. Please come with us."
Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were both stunned. They didn't expect that happiness would be so short-lived and yet be broken so easily.
"Impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan denied flatly, "This must be a mistake! I have never done anything illegal!"
The man shook his head expressionlessly, "Mr. Cheng, please cooperate with our work."
Cheng Yunchuan wanted to say something but was forcibly taken away by the two policemen behind the man.
Jiang Mubai watched Cheng Yunchuan being taken away, her heart aching. She didn't understand why God wanted to play such a trick on them? Why did they finally get together, but now they are facing such a crisis?
Just when she was in despair, she suddenly remembered what Cheng Yunchuan had said before: "Some people look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they hide many secrets that cannot be told."
Could it be that Cheng Yunchuan also has a secret? Could it be that he is really suspected of commercial fraud?
Jiang Mubai's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. She felt like she had fallen into a huge whirlpool and couldn't extricate herself...
Jiang Mubai felt her blood freeze. Business fraud? Cheng Yunchuan? How could this be possible? She clutched the bed sheet tightly, her knuckles turning white, her lips trembling, but she couldn't make any sound. The ward was empty, and the white walls seemed to be mocking her ignorance and naivety.
Suddenly, she thought of the woman who was subdued by Cheng Yunchuan, the woman who hysterically shouted "You cheated me! You cheated me of everything!" At that time, she was only afraid, but now thinking back, the woman's words seemed to have other meanings, not just a simple emotional dispute.
Could it be... that Cheng Yunchuan really lied to her?
This thought was like a poisonous snake entwining her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She struggled to get out of bed and stumbled to the door, wanting to chase him out and ask for clarification. However, outside the door was only an empty corridor and nurses coming and going. Where was Cheng Yunchuan?
She leaned against the wall helplessly, tears falling silently. She felt like a fool, fooled by Cheng Yunchuan's superb acting skills. She even began to doubt whether Cheng Yunchuan's tenderness and consideration for her was just a carefully planned scam.
"Miss Jiang, are you okay?" a nurse asked with concern.
Jiang Mubai shook her head. She didn't want to say anything now. She just wanted to be alone.
Seeing this, the nurse didn't say anything more, just patted her shoulder gently and left.
Jiang Mubai returned to the hospital bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and shivered like a wounded little animal.
She began to recall every moment she spent with Cheng Yunchuan. His smile, his eyes, his hug, his kiss... the memories that once made her feel so sweet now felt like thorns piercing her heart.
She remembered what Cheng Yunchuan had said: "Marry me, okay?" She agreed without hesitation, thinking that was the beginning of her happiness. Unexpectedly, it was the beginning of a nightmare.
