Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend
Chapter 303: Husband's Promise
Jiang Ciyou sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the man who had once betrayed her with somewhat empty eyes.
The husband's hand holding the rose was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of guilt and expectation, a complex expression that was a mixture of fear of being rejected and an extreme desire to be forgiven.
"Ciyou, I know that whatever I say now may seem pale and powerless, but I still want you to know that I really know I was wrong."
The husband's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions. "At the beginning, I was blinded by the benefits and eloped with that woman. I abandoned our feelings and our marriage. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life."
He slowly sat down opposite Jiang Ciyou, placed the rose on the coffee table beside him, and crossed his hands, as if trying to calm himself down. "These days, I have spent every day abroad in pain. I look at those unfamiliar streets and unfamiliar faces, and all I think of is you. I often wake up in the night and dream of your crying face. At that time, I really realized that I have lost the most important thing in my life."
The husband raised his head and looked straight at Jiang Ciyou, "I came back to make up for my mistakes. I know that the harm I have caused you cannot be described in words, but I am willing to spend the rest of my life trying. I will change my ways, Ciyou, and I will completely cut off all contact with that woman. I have drawn a clear line between us, and there is only you in my world."
He began to describe his plan in detail. "I will work hard to give you the best life. I have some new business plans, and I believe that with my ability and experience, we will be able to live a rich life. I will buy you a house you like and decorate it according to your dreams. We can have a big garden full of your favorite flowers."
The husband's eyes were full of longing, as if he had seen the beautiful future. "I will take you on a trip to places we have always wanted to go but never could. We can stroll along the streets of Paris and feel the romance; we can watch the sunset at the beach in Bali and enjoy the quiet time. I want to give you all the beautiful things in the world."
Jiang Ciyou continued to listen quietly, and a ripple appeared in her heart.
She had fantasized about such a life countless times before, building their own happy little world with her husband.
Her husband's words were like a key that opened the box of beautiful memories deep in her mind.
"Ciyou, I know I have disappointed you and made you unable to hold your head up in front of your family and friends. But I want everyone to see that I will become a person worthy of your lifelong trust again. I will respect you and love you, just like when we first met. I will give you a shoulder to lean on when you are tired, laugh with you when you are happy, and give you a warm embrace when you are sad."
He moved his body a little closer to Jiang Ciyou, his voice deeper and more sincere, "I know that trust is hard to rebuild once it's broken, but I'm willing to prove it with my actions. I will be honest with you and report everything to you. You can check my phone and social media accounts at any time, I don't have any secrets. I want you to feel again that my love for you is pure and without any impurities."
The husband held Jiang Ciyou's hands, which were a little cold. Jiang Ciyou trembled slightly but did not struggle.
"Ciyou, you are the kindest, most beautiful, and most gentle woman I have ever met. I gave up on you so easily. I was blind. Now I just hope you can give me another chance, let me spend the rest of my life protecting you and making you the happiest woman in the world."
Jiang Ciyou was in deep conflict.
She looked into her husband's sincere eyes and a part of her was touched.
Memories of their past love came flooding back like a tide. Those days and nights they spent together, those sweet words of love, those warm hugs, all seemed to be calling on her to forgive the man in front of her.
However, the betrayal on the wedding night was like an insurmountable gap in her heart.
She was afraid that this was just a momentary impulse of her husband, that his promise was just to alleviate his guilt, and that she would fall into the abyss of being hurt again.
She recalled that she was alone in the empty room on her wedding night, and the feeling of despair of being abandoned still haunts her.
She also thought of Lu Jingchen, the man who had spent many wonderful times with her.
Lu Jingchen's gentleness, thoughtfulness and unreserved love for her formed a sharp contrast with the betrayal of her husband.
However, she and her husband have a long-standing emotional foundation, and those memories cannot be forgotten just like that.
Jiang Ciyou didn't know how to respond to her husband's promise.
She knew that she was a little shaken in her heart, but she couldn't completely let down her guard.
Her eyes revealed confusion and hesitation. She gently pulled back her hand and said, "I heard what you said. But I need time to think about it and judge whether you can really do everything you said."
The husband looked at her with some disappointment, but still nodded, "I understand, Ciyou. I will give you time, and I will wait for your reply. I just hope you can believe that I am sincere this time."
Jiang Ciyou stood up, walked to the window and looked at the street scene outside.
The world outside is still bustling and noisy, and people are rushing around, each pursuing their own lives.
She felt like a ship lost in the vast ocean, not knowing where to go.
Her husband's promise was like a lighthouse looming in the distance, bringing her a glimmer of hope, but she was not sure whether it was a real harbor.
She began to recall more details of her time with her husband.
How did they meet?
It was a sunny afternoon at a friend's party.
She was wearing a white dress and walked into the room like a fairy.
The husband was attracted to her at first sight and came over to talk to her.
They talked about a lot of things, from literature to art, from travel to food, and found that they had many common interests and hobbies.
From then on, they began to date frequently.
When they went to the movies together, the husband would secretly hold her hand in the dark theater;
When they went hiking together, her husband always held her tightly on steep slopes, fearing that she would fall;
They went to a music festival together, and they laughed and danced to their heart's content in the frenetic music atmosphere.
Those times were so beautiful, full of youthful vitality and longing for the future.
As their relationship deepened, their feelings grew stronger.
The moment her husband proposed to her, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
She still remembers the carefully planned proposal scene by her husband, which took place on a lawn covered with flowers, surrounded by their relatives and friends.
The husband knelt on one knee, holding a shining ring in his hand, and said to her affectionately: "Ciyou, you are the only one in my life, I love you, will you marry me?"
She agreed without hesitation, and at that moment, she thought they would live happily ever after.
However, betrayal on the wedding night completely shattered her beautiful dream.
She could never have imagined that the man who had made countless promises to her would abandon her on their wedding night.
Her world collapsed in an instant, and she fell from the peak of happiness to the valley of despair.
Now, her husband has come back to promise her something, and she doesn't know if she can trust him again.
She was constantly struggling inside, on the one hand she was nostalgic for her past relationship, on the other hand she was afraid of being hurt again in the future.
She didn't know how to weigh the pros and cons, and didn't know how to make this difficult decision.
She turned her head and looked at her husband sitting on the sofa.
His eyes were still full of expectation, as if his whole world was waiting for her answer.
Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and said, "You go back first. I need to be alone for a while. I will think about what you said carefully."
The husband stood up slowly. He knew that he could not force Jiang Ciyou any longer.
He picked up the bouquet of roses, walked to Jiang Ciyou, gently placed the roses in her hand, and said, "Ciyou, I will wait for you. This bouquet of flowers represents my feelings, I hope you can accept it."
Jiang Ciyou took the rose and looked at the beautiful flower, feeling mixed emotions.
Her husband turned and left, and she was the only one left in the room. She stood by the window with a rose in her hand, lost in endless thought.
She began to analyze whether her husband's promises were credible.
From a rational point of view, her husband is indeed able to provide her with a materially comfortable life.
He has certain abilities and connections in the business field, and if the business plans he mentioned can be realized, they can indeed enable them to live a rich life.
However, material things are not what she values most. What she cares more about is feelings and trust.
She didn't know whether her husband could really completely break off his relationship with that woman.
Although he kept saying that he had drawn a clear line, how could she be sure?
She was worried that if she accepted her husband again, that woman would suddenly appear and destroy their lives again.
Moreover, the husband's betrayal is not just physical infidelity, but also a blasphemy against their feelings.
He can be tempted by interests so easily, so what about the future?
Will something similar happen again?
She thought of Lu Jingchen again.
Although Lu Jingchen did not have as rich material foundation as her husband, he gave her real care and companionship.
When she was in the most pain, Lu Jingchen walked into her life and warmed her broken heart with his love.
Lu Jingchen would watch the sunrise and sunset with her, would take care of her meticulously when she was sick, and would stand by her without hesitation when she encountered difficulties.
However, her relationship with Lu Jingchen was not all smooth sailing.
There had been quarrels and conflicts between them, and she knew that Lu Jingchen's identity might not be as simple as it seemed.
She didn't know where her future with Lu Jingchen would go, and if she chose Lu Jingchen, would she face more unknown challenges.
Jiang Ciyou felt as if he was stuck in a dead end. No matter which one he chose, there would be risks and uncertainties.
She doesn't know what she really wants, a stable past or a future full of uncertainty?
Is it material security or pure love?
Her heart was in a mess with these questions and she couldn't find a clear answer.
She sat on the sofa, put the rose aside, and put her head in her hands.
She tried to calm herself down and make sense of her confused thoughts.
She wondered, if she gave her husband a chance, would she be able to truly let go of her past resentment and accept him again?
If I continue to go on with Lu Jingchen, do I have enough courage to face the difficulties that may arise?
She thought of her parents.
Their marriage was dull but stable.
They supported each other and went through ups and downs together.
She didn't know if she could have a marriage like her parents'.
