Jiang Ciyou stood in the lobby of the luxurious villa. She was confused by the conversation with Lu Jingchen. Her eyes revealed a trace of confusion and uneasiness, and her mind was still immersed in the conversation with Lu Jingchen. At this time, her husband hurried in from outside, his leather shoes stepped on the marble floor with a quick and heavy sound, as if every step was filled with suppressed anger. He walked straight towards Jiang Ciyou, his face was terribly gloomy, and the fierceness in his eyes was like a cold blade, piercing Jiang Ciyou.

"I know you've met that Lu Jingchen again. Don't think about leaving me. I won't allow you to." Her husband's voice was low and hoarse, but it was full of unquestionable majesty. Jiang Ciyou was shocked. She didn't expect her husband to be aware of her meeting with Lu Jingchen so quickly. But she still raised her chin stubbornly and responded, "There is no love between us for a long time. Why do you ask me to do this?" Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried to stay calm.

The husband sneered, and the laughter echoed in the empty hall, which was particularly harsh. "With my current status and wealth, if you dare to leave, I will make you have no place to stand in this city, and everything you have will be gone." As he spoke, he slowly approached Jiang Ciyou, and his powerful aura almost made her breathless. Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband, and a chill surged in her heart. She knew her husband's means and influence in the business field, and he was indeed capable of putting herself in a desperate situation. She knew that her husband would keep his word, but she didn't want to give up her relationship with Lu Jingchen easily.

Jiang Ciyou's mind flashed through every moment she had spent with Lu Jingchen. When they were walking on the beach, Lu Jingchen gently brushed the sea breeze off her hair; when she was sick in bed, he stayed by her bedside, his eyes full of concern and worry, and personally boiled medicine for her. The warm scene seemed to be right in front of her. As for her memories of her husband, all that was left was the betrayal and endless indifference on their wedding night. She was struggling painfully in her heart. On the one hand, she was afraid of losing everything she had accumulated through years of hard work, including her career, fame, and wealth; on the other hand, Lu Jingchen's deep affection attracted her like a magnet, making it difficult for her to let go.

Seeing that Jiang Ciyou remained silent, her husband thought that she was wavering, and continued, "What do you think that Lu Jingchen can give you? He is just a little white face with nothing, living on your money. If you stay with him, you will only put yourself in an irretrievable situation." Jiang Ciyou's anger was instantly ignited when she heard her husband slander Lu Jingchen like this. "Don't slander him here! The warmth and care he gave me are what you never gave me." She retorted angrily.

The husband's face became even uglier. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Ciyou's arm tightly, so hard that she felt a sharp pain. "You dare to talk back to me? Don't forget that everything you have now is given by me. Without me, you are nothing." Jiang Ciyou tried to break free from her husband's restraints, but his hands were like iron clamps and did not move at all. "You are wrong. Everything I have is earned by my own efforts. It has nothing to do with you." She said through gritted teeth.

In this fierce confrontation, Jiang Ciyou gradually calmed down. She began to think about how to deal with her husband's threats. She knew that she couldn't be scared by him. She decided to stabilize her husband first, and then find a chance to get rid of his control. "Let me go first, and let's talk." Jiang Ciyou said. Her husband looked at her, hesitated, and finally let go.

Jiang Ciyou rubbed her red arm, took a deep breath, and said, "You said you wouldn't let me leave, so what do you want me to do?" Her husband looked at her, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "You must break off your relationship with that Lu Jingchen, and from now on, stay by my side obediently, and don't have any unreasonable thoughts." Jiang Ciyou sneered in her heart. She knew that her husband's request was impossible to achieve, but she still pretended to think about it to delay time. "I need time to think about it." She said.

The husband nodded, "Okay, I'll give you three days. If you haven't made a decision after three days, don't blame me for being rude." After that, he turned and left the hall, leaving Jiang Ciyou standing there alone, her heart full of contradictions and uneasiness. She knew that these three days would be the most difficult time in her life, and she had to make a choice between love and reality.

Jiang Ciyou slowly walked to the sofa, sat down, put her head in her hands, and fell into deep thought. She thought of her marriage with her husband, from the initial expectation to the subsequent disappointment, and then to the despair on the wedding night. This journey was full of pain and helplessness. She once thought that marriage was a harbor of happiness, but she didn't expect it to be the beginning of a nightmare. The appearance of Lu Jingchen was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, bringing her warmth and hope. But now, she is facing the risk of losing everything.

Her thoughts drifted back to the moment when she met Lu Jingchen. In that bar, Lu Jingchen's handsome face and unique temperament attracted her attention. At that time, she just wanted to find someone to fill the emptiness and pain in her heart, but she didn't expect to fall deeply in love with him. The time they spent together is the best memory of her life. They watched the sunrise and sunset at the seaside, and the gorgeous colors reflected on their faces, as if the whole world was left with only each other; in the high-end restaurant, they tasted delicious food and fine wine, and Lu Jingchen would always carefully select her favorite dishes for her, with his eyes full of pampering; when she was sick, he stayed by her bed day and night, comforting her softly, telling her jokes, and making her forget the torture of illness.

However, all of this is now under threat. Her husband's threat hangs over her head like a dark cloud, making her feel suffocated. She doesn't know what to do. She is afraid of losing her career, which is the result of her years of hard work; she is afraid of losing her reputation and becoming the object of everyone's scorn; but she is more afraid of losing Lu Jingchen and losing her true love. She is hesitating between love and reality, and her inner struggle is like a small boat in a storm, which may be submerged at any time.

Jiang Ciyou stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling city scenery outside the window, but her heart was full of confusion. She didn't know where her future was, and she didn't know how to choose to protect everything she cherished and pursue her own happiness. She knew that no matter what decision she made, she would face huge challenges and risks. But she also understood that she could no longer escape and must face it all bravely.

In the next three days, Jiang Ciyou felt like she was living in a year. On the one hand, she had to deal with her husband's surveillance and pressure, and on the other hand, she had to think about her future. She tried to communicate with her husband, hoping that he would let her go, but her husband refused to give in. She also thought about asking her family and friends for help, but she was worried that it would cause trouble for them. In this difficult time, she could only rely on her own strength to find a way out.

Three days passed quickly, and Jiang Ciyou still hadn't made a decision. Her husband found her again, his eyes revealing impatience and anger. "What have you thought about?" he asked. Jiang Ciyou looked at him, took a deep breath, and said, "I won't leave Lu Jingchen. I want to pursue my own happiness." When her husband heard her answer, he was furious. "You ignorant woman, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Ciyou alone, her heart full of fear and uneasiness. But she knew that she had made a decision, and no matter what was waiting for her ahead, she would not regret it.
