Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After a while, Jiang Ciyou went to the balcony alone to get some fresh air. The moonlight tonight was like water, sprinkled on the balcony, as if covering everything with a layer of silver gauze. She leaned gently on the railing, and the breeze blew her hair, revealing her delicate but slightly tired profile. There was a hint of confusion and loneliness in her eyes, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the time she had been with Lu Jingchen in the past.

When Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou go to the balcony, he immediately followed her. His heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his steps became a little anxious. When he walked to Jiang Ciyou, he stood quietly for a while, greedily breathing in the familiar scent on her body. Then, he whispered, "We meet again. We are really destined to be together."

Jiang Ciyou was startled by Lu Jingchen's sudden appearance. Her body trembled slightly. Then she calmed down, turned her head and looked at him and said, "Why are you here too?" Her voice trembled a little, and there was a hint of surprise and complicated emotions in her eyes.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, who looked even more beautiful under the moonlight, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He frowned slightly, then said seriously: "I want to talk to you alone, there are some things I have always wanted to tell you."

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen nervously. Her hands unconsciously clenched the railing and said, "What do you want to say?" She was both expectant and afraid. She didn't know what Lu Jingchen would say, and she was afraid that she would fall into the whirlpool of emotions again.

Lu Jingchen took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself. He looked directly into Jiang Ciyou's eyes and said, "Jiang Ciyou, I know we have had a lot of unpleasant pasts, but my feelings for you are real. I have liked you since the first time we met. Although you used to keep me as a gigolo, I don't care because I can feel the pain and loneliness in your heart. I want to take care of you and make you happy."

Jiang Ciyou felt touched when she heard what Lu Jingchen said. Her eyes were slightly moist, and the beautiful memories of being with Lu Jingchen came flooding back. She remembered watching the sunrise together at the beach, the sun shining on them, warm and beautiful; she remembered walking in the rain, hugging each other, as if the whole world was just the two of them. But at the same time, she also remembered the pain and helplessness when they separated, and she was afraid of experiencing that kind of hurt again.

She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then said slowly: "Lu Jingchen, I am very grateful that you said these words to me, but we can't go back. I have my own life now, my husband..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

Lu Jingchen interrupted her, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and determination: "Do you really love your husband? Or are you just with him because of responsibility and obligation? You can deceive others but you can't deceive your own heart." His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Ciyu's heart.

Jiang Ciyou was struck by Lu Jingchen's words. Her body trembled slightly. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and slid down her cheeks. She knew that she no longer loved her husband and was only with him out of habit and helplessness. But she was afraid of being hurt again and did not dare to accept Lu Jingchen's feelings easily.

Seeing Jiang Ciyou crying, Lu Jingchen felt distressed. He reached out his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but was afraid that she would refuse. His hand stopped in mid-air, hesitating for a moment, and then he said softly: "Ciyou, I know you are afraid of being hurt again, but I really won't let you get hurt again. I will use my actions to prove my love for you."

Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked at Lu Jingchen. She saw sincerity and determination in his eyes. She was a little shaken in her heart, but she still didn't dare to believe it easily. She bit her lip and said, "Lu Jingchen, I need time to think about it. Too many things have happened between us. I can't make a decision so easily."

Lu Jingchen nodded. He understood Jiang Ciyou's concerns. He said, "Okay, I'll give you time. But you have to know that I will wait for you until you are willing to accept me." His eyes were full of expectation and love.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the balcony became a little subtle. Under the moonlight, the two stood quietly, each other's eyes were full of complicated emotions. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but they didn't seem to feel it.

Jiang Ciyou suddenly broke the silence. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not stand here, let's go in." She turned around and wanted to leave the balcony, but Lu Jingchen grabbed her hand.

Jiang Ciyou's body froze, and she turned to look at Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of surprise. Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and said, "Stay with me for a while, just a little while." There was a hint of request in his voice.

Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. They stood on the balcony for a while, chatting about some irrelevant topics, trying to ease the embarrassment and tension between them.

After a while, Jiang Ciyou asked to go in again. Although Lu Jingchen was a little reluctant, he still let go of her hand. They returned to the banquet hall together. The banquet hall was still bustling at this time, but their mood became a little heavy.

Jiang Ciyou returned to her husband, who immediately came over to greet her. He looked at Jiang Ciyou's slightly red and swollen eyes, and a nameless anger surged in his heart. He whispered, "What did you say to him? Are you still thinking about him?"

Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband tiredly and said, "Nothing, we just chatted for a few minutes." She didn't want to explain too much to her husband. She was in a complicated mood and needed time to sort it out.

The husband obviously didn't believe Jiang Ciyou's words, his eyes were full of suspicion and jealousy. He glared at Lu Jingchen fiercely, then pulled Jiang Ciyou to the other side of the banquet hall, trying to stay away from Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen felt lost as he watched Jiang Ciyou being pulled away by her husband. He knew that Jiang Ciyou's husband was an obstacle between them, but he would not give up easily. He decided to find a way to make Jiang Ciyou truly come back to him.
