Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Lu Jingchen stood in the corner of the banquet hall, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ciyou who was talking to someone not far away. Her delicate face looked even more charming under the light, but her slightly furrowed brows revealed her inner struggle. Lu Jingchen knew that he had to do something to break the deadlock and make Jiang Ciyou face up to their relationship.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and walked towards a beautiful woman in a gorgeous purple dress. This woman was a famous socialite in the city, known for her beauty and sociability. Lu Jingchen walked up to her, a charming smile appeared on his face, he bowed slightly, and said politely: "My beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?" The woman was attracted by Lu Jingchen's handsomeness and demeanor, and readily agreed.

The music started, and Lu Jingchen and the woman stepped onto the dance floor. His dance steps were light and graceful, as if he was born for this dance floor. He danced with the woman while chatting and laughing with her. His eyes seemed to be focused on his dance partner, but every few seconds, he would glance in the direction of Jiang Ciyou as if inadvertently, observing her expression.

"Mr. Lu, you dance really well." The woman said with a sweet smile, her eyes full of admiration for Lu Jingchen.

"You're too kind. It's my honor to dance with a beautiful lady like you." Lu Jingchen responded, but his mind was still mostly on Jiang Ciyou.

Jiang Ciyou was talking to a business partner, but her eyes were always unconsciously attracted to Lu Jingchen. Seeing him and that woman so close, she felt as if something was blocking her heart and felt a little uncomfortable. She tried to focus on her conversation, but the scenes of her and Lu Jingchen in the past kept appearing in her mind. Those moments when they walked on the beach together, letting the sea breeze brush their hair; those moments when they cooked together in the cozy cottage and played with each other, all came to her mind like a tide. She tried hard to suppress her emotions, not wanting others to see that she was different.

"Ms. Jiang, what's wrong with you? You look a little absent-minded." The business partner noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Ciyou.

"Ah, nothing, maybe it's a bit stuffy here." Jiang Ciyou quickly found an excuse to cover it up.

Seeing that Jiang Ciyou seemed to be trying to control her emotions, Lu Jingchen was secretly pleased. He knew that his plan had worked, but it was not enough. He wanted Jiang Ciyou to be more aware of her feelings for him. So, when he was dancing, he deliberately made his interaction with his partner more intimate. He leaned close to the woman's ear and whispered something, which made the woman giggle and hit him lightly with her hand. In the eyes of others, this scene looked like a couple in love.

Jiang Ciyou felt even more uncomfortable when she saw this scene. Her brows furrowed tighter and her lips pursed slightly. She knew she shouldn't have such emotions. She was already with her husband and shouldn't care about Lu Jingchen anymore. But she felt sour uncontrollably in her heart. In order not to expose her emotions, she decided to take action.

She saw a young and promising entrepreneur next to her, so she took the initiative to walk over and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Lin, long time no see."

"Ms. Jiang, you look so radiant tonight." Mr. Lin responded with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Lin, you are really good at talking. How is your business recently?" Jiang Ciyou tried to make her voice sound relaxed and happy, and chatted with Mr. Lin about business topics. She laughed heartily from time to time, and the laughter echoed in the banquet hall, attracting the attention of many people, including Lu Jingchen.

Seeing Jiang Ciyou chatting happily with the man, Lu Jingchen couldn't help but feel a little jealous. But he quickly suppressed this emotion, because he knew that Jiang Ciyou was doing it on purpose. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and then he interacted with his dance partner more enthusiastically. He led his dance partner to spin and jump, and every move was full of confidence and charm. People around applauded them.

At the end of the song, Lu Jingchen gentlemanly sent his dance partner back to his seat, and then walked towards Jiang Ciyou. There was a hint of provocation and expectation in his eyes, and he wanted to see how Jiang Ciyou would react next.

"My beautiful lady, you are so beautiful tonight. I wonder if I would be honored to ask you to dance with me?" Lu Jingchen walked up to Jiang Ciyou and said with a smile, staring straight at her, not missing any expression on her face. He deliberately emphasized the word "beautiful lady", and his tone was full of ridicule and provocation.

Everyone around them fell silent, and all eyes were on them. Everyone felt the unusual atmosphere between the two, as if a war without gunpowder was quietly unfolding. Some people were whispering, speculating about the relationship between them and what would happen next.

"You... don't come and make trouble. I'm talking to Mr. Lin." Jiang Ciyou said in a panic. She didn't expect Lu Jingchen to come and invite her to dance so directly, and in front of so many people. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her face flushed slightly.

"Talking about things? I see you guys are having a good time. But am I not as good as Mr. Lin?" Lu Jingchen raised his eyebrows and continued to provoke. There was a flash of hurt in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Don't be unreasonable. I have nothing to say to you." Jiang Ciyou said angrily. She tried to bypass Lu Jingchen and leave, but Lu Jingchen blocked her way.

"What? You don't dare to dance with me? Are you afraid that you will fall in love?" Lu Jingchen pressed on. He didn't want to let go of this opportunity. He wanted Jiang Ciyou to admit in front of everyone that she had feelings for him, even if it was just a little bit.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with panic, she didn't know how to respond to Lu Jingchen's provocation. She was struggling in her heart, on the one hand, she didn't want to lose her composure in front of so many people; on the other hand, she was afraid that if she danced with Lu Jingchen, she would fall into a deeper emotional whirlpool.

"Get out of the way, I don't want to dance with you." Jiang Ciyou said through gritted teeth. Her eyes revealed determination, but only she knew how conflicted she was inside.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew that what he did might be a bit excessive, but he really had no other choice. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since you don't want to jump, I won't force you. However, you'd better think clearly, because once you miss some opportunities, you will never have them again." After that, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Ciyou alone, feeling restless for a long time.

The people around saw this scene and began to discuss it in a low voice. Some were speculating about the past between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, while others were excited about this wonderful "drama". Jiang Ciyou's husband saw all this not far away, his face became very gloomy, he clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with angry flames.

Lu Jingchen walked aside, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it all. He looked at the glass in his hand, regretting his impulsiveness. He knew that doing this might make Jiang Ciyou further away from him, but he really didn't want to lose her again. He secretly swore in his heart that he must find a better way to get Jiang Ciyou back to him.

The banquet hall at this moment seemed to be still bustling, but beneath this lively appearance, it concealed countless complex emotions and secrets, just like the undercurrents surging beneath the calm surface of a lake, which could cause huge waves at any time.
