Jiang Ciyou sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the familiar yet strange scenery outside, her heart full of melancholy. She had been back to her husband for a while, but her life was like a stagnant pool of water, without any waves. She once thought that returning to her husband was a responsibility and obligation, and an explanation for the past, but now, she felt more and more that this decision was so hasty.

Her eyes slowly fell on her husband's face. The face that was once so familiar to her now looked so strange. His eyes lacked the love and tenderness they once had, replaced by a kind of fatigue and helplessness. Jiang Ciyou knew that the relationship between them could no longer go back to the way it was before.

The betrayal she had felt was like a thorn deeply embedded in her heart. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, it could not be shaken off. It was a wedding night she would never forget. She was filled with joy, but what she received was a text message from her husband, telling her that he had eloped with his mistress and left the country. At that moment, she felt her world collapse in an instant, and the pain and despair in her heart overwhelmed her like a tide.

Since then, her life has changed dramatically. She began to become strong and independent, no longer relying on anyone. She went to various high-end places, looking for a gigolo to support, trying to forget her husband's betrayal in this way. And at this time, she met Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen, the handsome man with broad shoulders and narrow waist, who is a wolf and a milky man who loves to act like a spoiled child. His appearance is like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Jiang Ciyou's world. They spent many wonderful times together, going on vacation to the beach together, enjoying the sun and the beach; going to high-end restaurants together to eat and taste delicious food and fine wine. Lu Jingchen's gentleness and thoughtfulness made Jiang Ciyou gradually forget the pain of the past.

She missed the days she spent with Lu Jingchen, those passionate and warm times. They traveled together, enjoyed life, and their feelings for each other grew deeper. They went to world-famous cities such as Paris, London, and New York together, leaving behind many beautiful memories. With Lu Jingchen's company, Jiang Ciyou gradually walked out of the shadow of the past. She began to re-examine her life and decided to be an independent and self-reliant woman.

She began to learn business knowledge, investing in stocks and real estate, and gradually accumulated her own wealth. Lu Jingchen also grew a lot in the past three years. He was no longer the playboy who only knew how to have fun. He began to study hard and improve his abilities. He helped Jiang Ciyou manage her investments and became her right-hand man.

However, everything changed after Jiang Ciyou's husband returned to China. He tried to win her back, apologized to her, admitted his mistakes, and expressed his willingness to start over with her. Jiang Ciyou was entangled and didn't know how to choose. In the end, out of responsibility and obligation, she chose to return to her husband.

But now, she deeply regretted it. She knew that she could no longer love her husband. Being with him was just a heavy burden that made her breathless. She missed Lu Jingchen's gentle eyes and considerate actions. Those scenes kept replaying in her mind like a movie.

Jiang Ciyou stood up and walked slowly to the living room. Their wedding photos were placed in the living room. In the photos, they were smiling brightly and full of happiness. But now, all this has become the past. She gently stroked the photos, and an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart.

She thought of the days they had spent together, and those sweet memories had now turned into sharp blades, piercing her heart. They had gone to the movies, shopping, and eating together. Those wonderful times seemed to be still before her eyes, but they could never go back.

Jiang Ciyou sat on the sofa, lost in thought. She began to reflect on whether her decision to return to her husband was too hasty. She knew that her heart was no longer with her husband, and she loved Lu Jingchen. But she was afraid of being hurt again and afraid of making the wrong choice again.

She thought of how good Lu Jingchen was to her. He always showed up when she needed him the most, giving her warmth and comfort. He would tell her jokes when she was in a bad mood, and stay by her side when she was sick. His love was so sincere and so passionate.

What about her husband? He had betrayed her and caused her great harm. Although he came back now and wanted to win her back, she could no longer trust him. She didn't know whether he came back sincerely or for other purposes.

Jiang Ciyou felt extremely lost and confused. She didn't know where to go, and she didn't know where her future would be. She wanted to get rid of this painful life and find her happiness again, but she was afraid of being hurt again.

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the night. The city lights were brilliant, but they could not illuminate the darkness in her heart. She felt so lonely and helpless.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

"Hello, how are you?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was a little hoarse.

"Ciyou, it's me." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Ciyou's body trembled violently. She recognized the voice, it was Lu Jingchen. A complex emotion surged in her heart, with surprise, touching, and guilt.

"Jingchen, why did you call me?" Jiang Ciyou's voice trembled a little.

"Ciyou, I miss you. I know you have returned to him, but I still can't forget you. I love you, and I hope you can come back to me." Lu Jingchen's voice was full of affection.

Jiang Ciyou's tears burst out instantly. She didn't know what to say, her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. She knew that she also loved Lu Jingchen, but she was afraid of being hurt again.

"Jingchen, I don't know what to do. I've returned to him and I can't hurt him anymore." Jiang Ciyou said with a sob.

"Ciyou, you don't love him. You are with him just because it is a responsibility and obligation. Doing this will only make you more miserable. I love you, I will give you happiness, and I will always be with you." Lu Jingchen said firmly.

Jiang Ciyou was silent for a moment. She knew that what Lu Jingchen said was right. She didn't love her husband, and being with him was just a torture. She needed to face her feelings bravely and pursue the happiness she really wanted.

"Jingchen, let me think about it again. I need time to make a decision." Jiang Ciyou said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. No matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice." Lu Jingchen said.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou couldn't calm down for a long time. She knew that she had to make a decision, a decision about her future.

She returned to her room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning. The figures of Lu Jingchen and her husband kept appearing in her mind, and she didn't know how to choose. She loved Lu Jingchen, but she was afraid of being hurt again; she had responsibilities and obligations to her husband, but she couldn't love him anymore.

Jiang Ciyou felt extremely painful and entangled. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't know where her future was. She wanted to get rid of this painful life and find her happiness again, but she was afraid of being hurt again.

Just then, her cell phone rang again. She picked up the phone and saw a text message from her husband.

"Ciyou, I love you. I know I made mistakes, but I regret it. I hope you can give me a chance to start over."

Jiang Ciyou looked at the text message, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know whether her husband's words were true or false, and she didn't know whether he really regretted it. She wanted to believe him, but she was afraid of being hurt again.

Jiang Ciyou was in deep conflict. She didn't know who to trust, and she didn't know how to choose. She felt that her world was in chaos, and she didn't know where to go.

The author says:

Jiang Ciyou's inner struggle is relatable. She is hesitating between responsibility and love, not knowing how to choose. This decision concerns her future, and she must consider it carefully. The appearance of Lu Jingchen adds more complexity to her choice. I hope she can face her feelings bravely and find her own happiness.
