Chapter 1088 Lost Soul
Cheng Yunchuan looked at the intimacy between Jiang Mubai and Su Muche, and felt as if his heart was torn apart. He wanted to stop them, wanted to pull Jiang Mubai back to his side, but he found that he was powerless. He could only watch Su Muche whisper in Jiang Mubai's ear, and watch the confusion and hesitation in Jiang Mubai's eyes...
"Mu Bai, believe me, okay?" Su Muche bewitched her, his voice getting lower and lower, "I will take you back to the past, to your true self..."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan with complicated eyes. That look was like a knife, piercing into his heart.
"You, go out first. I want to talk to him alone." She finally spoke, her tone cold, as if she was treating a stranger.
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned as if struck by lightning. He couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't understand what he saw. The woman he loved deeply was now shutting him out, just to be alone with another man who had hurt her.
Cheng Yunchuan felt his world collapse in an instant. He staggered back a few steps, as if all his strength had been drained away. He stared at Jiang Mubai infatuatedly, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
"You...what did you say?" He finally found his voice, which was hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper. "You want me...to go out?"
Jiang Mubai avoided his burning gaze, his voice as cold as ice: "Yes, I don't want to see you now. Please leave first and let me talk to him alone."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Cheng Yunchuan's heart hard, making him bloody and painful. He couldn't believe that the woman who used to act like a spoiled child in his arms and whisper love in his ears would say such hurtful words in such a cold tone.
"Why?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was filled with pain and confusion, "Mu Bai, why did you do this to me? Do you really... not remember me at all?"
Jiang Mubai remained silent, her eyes were still complex and difficult to read, like a bottomless pool of water.
Su Muche raised his lips in triumph. He admired Cheng Yunchuan's painful expression, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. He stepped forward, stood in front of Jiang Mubai, and declared like a winner: "Cheng Yunchuan, did you hear me? Mubai doesn't want to see you now, please leave immediately!"
Cheng Yunchuan stared at Su Muche intently, the anger in his eyes almost burning him out. He wanted to rush up and tear this despicable villain into pieces! But he couldn't, he couldn't lose control in front of Jiang Mubai, he couldn't let her hate him even more.
"Mu Bai, tell me, this is not what you really said, right?" Cheng Yunchuan suppressed his heartache and tried to force a smile, "You must be kidding me, right? You still remember our past, you still remember our promise, you still remember... you love me, right?"
His voice was full of pleading and expectation, like a drowning man desperately trying to grab the last straw.
Jiang Mubai finally raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan. There was a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by indifference. "I don't remember anything about the past." She said coldly, "I only believe Mr. Su now. He told me who I was. He was the only person I remembered when I was unconscious. You are just a stranger who I hate. So, please leave."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart completely sank to the bottom. He knew that Jiang Mubai really didn't remember him. All his hopes and expectations turned into nothing at this moment.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was filled with despair, "But I won't give up on you, Mu Bai. I will wait for you, wait for you to remember me, wait for you to come back to me."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Mubai deeply, turned around and left the ward. His back looked so lonely and desolate, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant.
Su Muzhe looked at Cheng Yunchuan's back as he left and smiled triumphantly. He turned around and said to Jiang Mubai gently, "Mubai, you finally made the right choice. Believe me, I will make you happy."
Jiang Mubai didn't say anything. She just looked at Su Muchhe quietly, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
"Now, tell me, what do you want to know?" Su Muche's voice was full of temptation. "I will tell you everything you want to know."
"I..." Jiang Mubai opened her mouth, but didn't know what to ask. Her mind was blank, like a piece of white paper erased by an eraser, without any trace left.
Su Muche took Jiang Mubai's hand, led her to sit on the bed, and then placed the gift box in his hand on her lap. "This was your favorite thing before. Now, I'm giving it back to you." He smiled gently, "Come, open it and take a look."
Jiang Mubai looked down at the exquisite gift box, which was tied with a beautiful ribbon, like an alluring trap, waiting for her to jump in. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly untied the ribbon and opened the box...
Inside the box lay a simple jade pendant, carved into the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings, and radiating a soft luster. Jiang Mubai stared at the jade pendant blankly, and suddenly some vague images flashed through her mind, a man gently put the jade pendant on her neck, and said affectionately: "Mubai, this is a token of love I gave you, I hope you will wear it forever and never forget me."
The scene flashed by so fast that she couldn't catch it. She reached out and picked up the jade pendant. It was warm to the touch, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over her. She held the jade pendant tightly, and her heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
"How is it? Did you remember something?" Su Muche's gentle voice sounded in his ears. He gently stroked the back of Jiang Mubai's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Mubai shook her head. She tried hard to catch the fleeting images, but she couldn't. "No, I don't remember it." Her voice was trembling. "I just...felt that this jade pendant was very familiar."
"It's okay, take your time." Su Muche comforted, "One day, you will remember everything."
Cheng Yunchuan walked down the street in a daze, Jiang Mubai's cold words echoing in his mind. He didn't understand why everything changed in just one month? A month ago, they were still immersed in the ocean of happiness, planning their future. But now, she seemed to have become a different person, rejecting him thousands of miles away.
He walked aimlessly and unknowingly came to the downstairs of the apartment where he and Jiang Mubai once lived together. He looked up at the familiar window, his heart filled with bitterness. He still remembered the scene when they first met here. She accidentally bumped into him and spilled coffee on him. She apologized in a panic, but he was attracted by her clear eyes.
