Chapter 1185 Call Me If You Need Anything
Jiang Mubai curled up in the soft sofa, covered with Cheng Yunchuan's gray wool blanket, holding a glass of warm milk in his hand and sipping it in small sips.
The hot air blurred her vision and also relaxed her tense nerves a little. Outside the window, the neon lights of the city flickered like jumping notes, playing a noisy nocturne.
Cheng Yunchuan sat down opposite her, tapping the screen of his mobile phone lightly with his slender fingers, his brows slightly furrowed, as if thinking about something. He occasionally looked up at her with a barely perceptible worry in his eyes.
Jiang Mubai put down the cup of milk and said hesitantly: "Yunchuan, those people...why did they kidnap me?"
Cheng Yunchuan put down his phone, sighed, stood up and walked to her side, gently holding her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
His voice was low and gentle, like a warm light, dispelling the fear in her heart.
Jiang Mubai buried her head in his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling the warm breath emanating from him. At this moment, she felt as if she had found a safe haven where she could remove all her disguises and defenses.
"But... I'm still very scared..." Jiang Mubai's voice was choked with sobs: "I don't want to go through this again."
Cheng Yunchuan gently stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "It won't happen again, I promise."
He paused, and his tone became firm: "I will find out who is behind this and make him pay the price."
Jiang Mubai gradually calmed down in his warm embrace, and his eyelids began to feel heavy.
"Are you sleepy?" Cheng Yunchuan noticed her change and asked softly.
Jiang Mubai nodded gently, his voice soft and sticky: "Yeah!"
Cheng Yunchuan picked her up and carried her sideways towards the bedroom. Jiang Mubai subconsciously hugged his neck, pressed her cheek against his chest, and felt the warmth coming from his body.
He gently put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and kissed her on the forehead: "Go to sleep, I will always be by your side."
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a reassuring smile.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her peaceful sleeping face with a complicated expression. He knew that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed. Who was the mastermind behind it? Why did he kidnap Jiang Mubai? He needed to find out all of this.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the brightly lit city night scene, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
The next morning, when Jiang Mubai woke up, she found that Cheng Yunchuan was no longer in the room. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up from the bed and walked to the living room.
Cheng Yunchuan was busy in the kitchen. He was wearing simple home clothes and looked particularly gentle. The sunlight came in through the window, shining on him, giving him a golden halo.
"Awake?" Cheng Yunchuan heard the noise, turned around and gave her a warm smile: "Breakfast will be ready soon, go wash up first."
Jiang Mubai nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she returned to the restaurant, Cheng Yunchuan had already prepared breakfast: fried eggs, toast, milk, and her favorite strawberry jam.
"Thank you, Yunchuan." Jiang Mubai sat down opposite him, picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
"What are your plans for today?" Cheng Yunchuan asked while drinking coffee.
"There's a magazine shoot this afternoon," Jiang Mubai replied, "But I'm a little worried."
"Don't worry, I'll go with you." Cheng Yunchuan said firmly: "I will ensure your safety."
Jiang Mubai looked at him gratefully, his heart filled with gratitude.
After breakfast, Cheng Yunchuan drove Jiang Mubai to the shooting site. Along the way, he held her hand tightly, as if giving her strength.
The filming went smoothly. Cheng Yunchuan stayed silently by his side, never leaving. His presence made Jiang Mubai feel extremely at ease.
After the shooting, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan left the studio together.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Mubai asked.
"I'll take you somewhere." Cheng Yunchuan smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly.
He drove to a manor in the suburbs, where the environment was beautiful, the air was fresh, and it was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
"Where is this place?" Jiang Mubai asked curiously.
"My friend's private estate." Cheng Yunchuan explained: "I want you to have a good rest here for a few days and relax."
Jiang Mubai looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and his mood became relaxed.
"Thank you, Yunchuan," she said sincerely, "You are always so thoughtful."
Cheng Yunchuan smiled and held her in his arms: "Silly girl, I'm willing to do anything for you."
The two spent a few peaceful and wonderful days at the manor. During the day, they walked in the garden, talked, and basked in the sun. At night, they watched movies, listened to music, and enjoyed each other's company.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
One night, Jiang Mubai found a document in the study of the manor. The contents of the document shocked her.
Is the child really Lu Jingshen? So Cheng Yunchuan has been hiding it from me? She reached out and gently stroked her belly, thinking about the fact that she was about to get married to Cheng Yunchuan. Was it Lu Jingshen who was behind this?
Jiang Mubai's fingers trembled, and the document slipped from his fingers and fell on the floor like a withered autumn leaf. It was clearly written on it: DNA paternity test report, child's father: Lu Jingshen.
She staggered back a step, fell onto the soft sofa, and stared ahead with unfocused eyes.
Is the child really Lu Jingshen's? Why did Cheng Yunchuan lie to her? He knew how much she hated Lu Jingshen, but he still chose to hide the truth.
A huge sense of betrayal surged over her like a tide, drowning her. She found it difficult to breathe, and her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Mu Bai!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of anxiety.
Jiang Mubai suddenly came to his senses, picked up the document in a panic and hid it behind him.
Cheng Yunchuan pushed the door open and saw Jiang Mubai's pale face. His heart sank: "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."
"Nothing... nothing." Jiang Mubai pretended to be calm, but his eyes flickered.
Cheng Yunchuan walked to her side and gently held her in his arms: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Tell me, okay?"
Jiang Mubai's body was stiff. She wanted to push him away, but he hugged her tighter.
Jiang Mubai's voice trembled: "Yunchuan, I... I'm tired and want to rest for a while."
Cheng Yunchuan noticed her strangeness, but did not ask any questions. He just stroked her hair gently: "Okay, you have a good rest. I'll be outside. Call me if you need anything."
He stood up and left, closing the door gently.
Jiang Mubai could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound, but her shoulders could not stop shaking.
