Chapter 1097 The Taker
Cheng Yunchuan instinctively protected Jiang Mubai behind him and looked at the man in front of him vigilantly.
"Who are you?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a deep voice.
The man sneered, his eyes full of disdain and contempt: "Who am I? I am the father of the child! I am her real husband!"
Jiang Mubai's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled even more violently. She looked at the man in front of her in horror, as if she saw a demon from hell.
Cheng Yunchuan frowned. Things seemed to be more complicated than he thought... The father of the child? The real husband? What was going on?
Jiang Mubai's face instantly lost color, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make any sound. She grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's sleeve tightly, her knuckles turned white, as if she was grabbing the last straw to save her life.
The man glanced at Cheng Yunchuan with disdain, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Boy, if you know what's best for you, get out of here! Don't get in my way!"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes shone, and a chill emanated from him. He held Jiang Mubai tighter behind him, and said in a cold tone: "Sir, please be more respectful when you speak! Mubai is my wife, I won't let her go with you!"
The man laughed as if he had heard a big joke. "Wife? Why don't you ask what kind of person Jiang Mubai is! She has been my woman for a long time, who do you think you are?"
Cheng Yunchuan's fists clenched and creaked, and anger surged in his chest. He resisted the urge to beat someone up and said coldly, "Mu Bai, is what he said true?"
Jiang Mubai's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She choked but could not deny it.
Seeing this, the man became even more complacent. "What do you think, kid? Do you understand now? You are just a scapegoat! If you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't embarrass yourself here!"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He stared at Jiang Mubai and asked word by word: "Mubai, tell me, do you love him?"
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Then do you love me?" Cheng Yunchuan continued to ask.
Jiang Mubai's tears flowed even more violently, and she nodded vigorously.
Cheng Yunchuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile. "That's enough." He turned his head and looked at the man in front of him with cold eyes, "Sir, no matter whether what you said is true or false, Mu Bai is my wife now. If she doesn't want to go with you, you have no right to force her!"
The man's face darkened and he roared, "You're looking for death!" He raised his fist and hit Cheng Yunchuan in the face.
Cheng Yunchuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the man's fist and twisted it hard, causing the man to scream.
"You dare to hit me?" The man was furious, and the bodyguards behind him immediately surrounded him.
Cheng Yunchuan protected Jiang Mubai behind him and glanced at the bodyguards around him with sharp eyes without any fear.
"I warn you, you'd better not mess around!" Cheng Yunchuan said coldly, "Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded: "Dad!"
A little boy of three or four years old ran in from outside the ward and threw himself directly into Jiang Mubai's arms.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" The little boy hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, his little face full of tears.
Jiang Mubai hugged his son tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably.
When the man saw the little boy, his expression suddenly became even uglier. "Jiang Mubai, how dare you hide my son!"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind. He pointed at the little boy and asked, "You said, he is your son?"
The man snorted coldly: "Nonsense! Of course he is my son!"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes fell on the little boy's face, carefully examining his facial features. The more he looked, the sank his heart. The little boy's eyebrows and eyes were actually somewhat similar to his...
Cheng Yunchuan felt his blood freeze instantly, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He stared at the man in front of him in disbelief, and then looked at the little boy in Jiang Mubai's arms. The boy was looking up at him curiously, and his clear eyes looked very much like...his own.
"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was trembling, and he could hardly pronounce a complete syllable. He felt like he was pushed into a huge whirlpool, all his cognition was overturned, and the world was spinning.
Jiang Mubai hugged the child tightly, her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word. The fear and helplessness in her eyes, like a sharp knife, pierced Cheng Yunchuan's heart.
The man saw Cheng Yunchuan's reaction and showed a smug smile on his face, as if he was enjoying a good show. "What? Are you scared? Boy, I tell you, this bastard is yours!" He deliberately emphasized the word "bastard" and his tone was full of malice.
Cheng Yunchuan felt a buzzing in his head and his eyes went dark. He staggered back a step and barely stood firm by holding onto the wall. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but his trembling voice revealed his inner panic. "Mu Bai, is he... is what he said true?"
Jiang Mubai's tears burst out again. She closed her eyes in despair and nodded gently.
"No! This is impossible!" Cheng Yunchuan shook his head violently, unable to accept this cruel reality. He had always thought that their love was pure and flawless, and their marriage was happy and perfect. But now, this sudden child, like a bomb, completely destroyed all his fantasies.
"Impossible? Haha, look at this little bastard, he looks so much like him!" The man pointed at the little boy and said in a mean tone, "Jiang Mubai, that bitch, slept with me while flirting with you! What a fickle bitch!"
Cheng Yunchuan could no longer tolerate the man's insults. He rushed forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and roared, "Shut up!"
"What? Are you angry and humiliated? You want to hit me? Come on!" The man stared at Cheng Yunchuan fearlessly, his eyes full of provocation.
Cheng Yunchuan raised his fist high, but then put it down helplessly. He looked at the child in Jiang Mubai's arms, his heart aching. He wanted to beat the man in front of him beyond recognition, but he couldn't ignore the fear and helplessness in the child's eyes.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai choked, stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Yunchuan's face, but stopped in mid-air.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai with a complex expression, which showed love, hatred, disappointment and pain. He didn't know how to face this sudden change, nor how to face Jiang Mubai, let alone how to face this child who might be his son.
The atmosphere in the ward was extremely depressing, and the air seemed to be frozen.
