Chapter 1169 Wedding Gift
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly stopped, and he almost subconsciously protected Jiang Mubai behind him. Through the peephole, the fierce eyes of the man in black and the shiny gun in his hand made him instantly realize that the man was not friendly. He quickly locked the door and pushed Jiang Mubai into the bedroom. "Mubai, hide, lock the door, and don't come out!"
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale, and he grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's arm in fear. "Yunchuan, be careful!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll be fine." Cheng Yunchuan gave her a reassuring look, turned and rushed to the kitchen, picking up a kitchen knife.
There was a violent bang outside the door, and the wooden door creaked under the weight. Cheng Yunchuan clenched the kitchen knife, and sweat oozed from his palms. He never thought that his peaceful life would be disrupted by such sudden violence.
With a loud "bang", the door was pushed open and a man in black rushed in, pointing the gun at Cheng Yunchuan.
Cheng Yunchuan met his gaze fearlessly and raised the kitchen knife. "What do you want to do?"
The man in black sneered. "Someone is paying for your life."
In a flash, Cheng Yunchuan threw the kitchen knife in his hand at the man in black, and dodged the bullet by leaning sideways. The kitchen knife hit the man in black's wrist, and the pistol fell to the ground.
The man in black covered his injured wrist and screamed. Cheng Yunchuan took the opportunity to rush forward, kicked him to the ground, then snatched the pistol on the ground and pointed it at his head.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was cold and carried a hint of murderous intent.
The man in black gritted his teeth and refused to speak. Cheng Yunchuan increased the strength of his hand, "If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
"It's... it's Sophie!" The man in black finally couldn't stand the pressure and revealed the name of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes shone. It was indeed her! This woman was so vicious!
At this time, the bedroom door opened, and Jiang Mubai walked out. Seeing the scene in front of him, he turned pale with fear. "Yunchuan, what happened?"
Cheng Yunchuan quickly hid the gun behind his back, not wanting her to see the bloody scene. "It's okay, it's been resolved."
He turned to look at the man in black, "Get lost!"
The man in black crawled out of the room.
Jiang Mubai walked to Cheng Yunchuan and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay? Who is he?"
Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell her the truth. "It was a killer sent by Sophie."
Jiang Mubai's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe his ears. "Sophie? Why would she do this?"
"Because she hates you and me." Cheng Yunchuan sighed, "She feels that we have taken away everything from her."
Jiang Mubai was silent. She didn't expect Sophie's hatred to be so deep.
"Mu Bai, don't worry, I will protect you and won't let her hurt you again." Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly with a firm tone.
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and his heart gradually calmed down.
"Yunchuan, let's get married." Jiang Mubai said suddenly.
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to propose marriage at this time. "Mubai, you..."
"I know I shouldn't say this now, but..." Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at him affectionately, "I don't want to wait any longer. I want to be with you, forever."
A warm current surged in Cheng Yunchuan's heart. He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Okay, let's get married."
The two hugged and kissed each other. After going through so many ups and downs, they finally got together.
The next day, Cheng Yunchuan took Jiang Mubai to get a marriage certificate. Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Mubai held the red marriage certificate in his hand, feeling like he was dreaming.
"We are now a legal couple." Cheng Yunchuan said with a smile, his eyes full of happiness.
Jiang Mubai also smiled, his smile as bright as a flower. "Well, we are husband and wife now."
Just then, a black car suddenly stopped in front of them, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked out.
"Mu Bai, long time no see." Sophie was wearing a black dress with delicate makeup on her face, looking particularly charming.
Jiang Mubai's face changed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Sophie, what do you want to do?"
Sophie sneered, "Of course I'm here to congratulate you on your wedding."
She took out an exquisite gift box from her bag and handed it to Jiang Mubai. "This is my wedding gift to you."
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but finally took the gift box.
"Open it and take a look." Sophie said with a smile.
Jiang Mubai opened the gift box and saw a photo inside.
In the photo, a man and a woman were hugging each other tightly. The man was Cheng Yunchuan, and the woman... was actually Sophie!
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale in an instant, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"What does this mean?" Jiang Mubai asked tremblingly.
Sophie smiled proudly, "What do you mean? Of course it means literally. This photo is the wedding gift I carefully prepared."
She paused and continued, "I forgot to tell you, this photo was taken last night."
Jiang Mubai's mind exploded with a bang, and she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body cold.
Cheng Yunchuan was also stunned. He had no idea what was going on.
"Sophie, you..." Cheng Yunchuan wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Sophie.
"Yunchuan, you don't need to explain, I understand." Sophie's eyes flashed with a cunning light, "I know you still have me in your heart, you are just confused by this woman."
She walked up to Cheng Yunchuan and stroked his cheek, "Yunchuan, come back to me, we are a perfect match."
Cheng Yunchuan pushed her away violently, his eyes full of disgust. "Sophie, you are crazy!"
He turned and looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame. "Mubai, listen to my explanation..."
"Snapped!"
A loud slap interrupted Cheng Yunchuan's words.
Jiang Mubai's raised hand trembled slightly in the air, and finally fell down, just gently stroking her cheek that was burned by the beating. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but just looked at Cheng Yunchuan quietly, her eyes were empty, like a statue that had lost its soul.
Cheng Yunchuan panicked. He tried to grab Jiang Mubai's hand, but she dodged him. "Mubai, listen to me. Things are not what you think..."
"It's not what I thought?" Jiang Mubai finally spoke, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing against glass. "The photos are so clear, how else do you want to explain? Are you saying that you and Sophie were just competing in acting?"
There was a hint of self-mockery, a hint of despair, and a hint of... relief in her tone.
"Mu Bai, I..." Cheng Yunchuan was speechless. Sophie's appearance and the photo were like a well-designed trap that trapped him tightly. He wanted to explain, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.
