Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After the commercial activity ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's back as she left, and his heart suddenly clenched. He knew that he couldn't let her go like this. If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would have another chance to untie her knot. So, he rushed forward and called Jiang Ciyou: "Ciyou, long time no see, let's have a cup of coffee and chat, just give me a chance."

Jiang Ciyou paused, her heart in a mess. On the one hand, she was indeed afraid to be alone with Lu Jingchen, afraid that the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time would burst out like a flood; but on the other hand, there was a small voice deep in her heart calling out, longing to stay with him for a while and listen to his inner thoughts. After hesitating for a long time, she nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay."

The two walked side by side on the busy street, with cars and pedestrians rushing around them, but they seemed to be separated from the outside world by an invisible barrier, and the surrounding noise became a vague background sound. Jiang Ciyou lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, her heart full of entanglement and anxiety; Lu Jingchen turned his head to look at her from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, hesitant to speak.

Soon, they arrived at a quiet coffee shop. The interior was elegantly decorated, with warm yellow lights shining softly, the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and soothing jazz music echoed slowly, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to this small world. Lu Jingchen gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Jiang Ciyou, and after she sat down, he walked over to the opposite side and sat down.

The waiter came forward, and Lu Jingchen said softly, "A cup of latte, thank you." Then he looked at Jiang Ciyou with a questioning look in his eyes. Jiang Ciyou raised his eyes slightly and responded, "Me too." The waiter nodded and left. For a moment, there was only awkward silence between the two.

Lu Jingchen was the first to break the deadlock. His voice was a little hoarse, but full of affection: "Ciyou, how have you been these days? I miss you so much. Every day I wonder if you have been under a lot of pressure alone. When I think of this, my heart feels like being stabbed by a knife."

Jiang Ciyou's eyes reddened slightly when she heard this. She held back her tears and bit her lower lip: "I... am fine, just a little busy. How about you?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she did not dare to look directly into Lu Jingchen's burning gaze.

"I'm not okay, not okay at all." Lu Jingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, clasping his hands on the table, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Without you, my world has become gray and dull. Every place has our memories, but I can only stare at those empty corners in a daze. That feeling is really too uncomfortable."

Jiang Ciyou's heart trembled suddenly, and scenes from the past flashed through her mind like a slide show: strolling on the beach, they held hands, letting the waves caress their feet, watching the sunset together, dyeing the sky orange and red; in the high-end restaurant, Lu Jingchen carefully cut the steak for her, and the love in his eyes was hotter than the candlelight; and when she was sick, Lu Jingchen stayed by her bed all night, his forehead covered with sweat, his eyes full of anxiety and worry... Those beautiful moments, like bright stars, illuminated her dark time and made her truly feel the happiness of being loved.

"Ciyou, I know you have concerns in your heart. After all, you have been seriously injured before." Lu Jingchen leaned forward slightly, his eyes locked on Jiang Ciyou, as if he wanted to pour all his feelings into her heart, "But I want you to know that I am different from him. My feelings for you are pure, without any impurities. From the first moment I saw you, my heart was stolen by you, and there is no room for anyone else."

Jiang Ciyou's tears finally burst out, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the table, wetting a small area. She choked and said, "I know, Jingchen, I know everything. I have seen and remembered everything you have done for me. But I am afraid, afraid that all this is just a beautiful dream, and when I wake up, I will return to the abandoned and scarred self. I really don't have the courage to go through that kind of pain again."

Lu Jingchen's heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe. He quickly stood up, walked to Jiang Ciyou, squatted down, raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, his eyes full of love and determination: "Ciyou, no, I will never let that happen. I will use my whole life to protect you and let you live in happiness every day. You believe me, okay?"

Jiang Ciyou looked at the man in front of her, his eyes sparkling with sincerity, that light was like a beam of strong light, straight through the haze in her heart. At this moment, the long-built defense line in her heart completely collapsed, and the long-suppressed emotions surged out like a tide.

"Jingchen, I believe you." Jiang Ciyou burst into tears and reached out to hold Lu Jingchen's hand tightly, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. "I don't want to escape anymore. I want to face the ups and downs of the future with you."

Lu Jingchen's eyes were also moist. He nodded vigorously and gently embraced Jiang Ciyou in his arms, as if he was embracing the whole world. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the only thing left in the world was the sound of each other's strong heartbeats, telling of their expectations and determination for the future.

After a long time, the two of them gradually calmed down. Lu Jingchen sat back opposite her, his face filled with a happy smile, that smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling all the previous haze.

"Ciyou, what are our plans for the future? I want to hear your ideas." Lu Jingchen asked expectantly.

Jiang Ciyou lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I want to stabilize my career first. Because of all those messy things before, there were a lot of problems with the investment projects, and I have to sort them out. Also, I also want to learn more business knowledge and improve myself. I can't always rely on you." There was a firmness in her eyes, which was the fighting spirit rekindled after going through hardships.

Lu Jingchen looked at her with approval in his eyes: "Okay, I support you. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me and we can solve them together. I have to spend some time on the family business, but don't worry, I will arrange my time reasonably and will not let you suffer any grievances."

Jiang Ciyou felt warm in her heart and nodded gently: "Okay, I understand. By the way, regarding our affairs, your family..." When she mentioned Lu Jingchen's family, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "They can't quite accept it now. After all, they have a strong traditional concept and think you are divorced. But Ciyou, don't worry, I will slowly communicate with them, let them know your good side, and know that we really love each other."

"I understand. This is not something that can be changed overnight." Jiang Ciyou held Lu Jingchen's hand and gave him a comforting smile. "As long as we are firm, I believe they will accept it sooner or later."

The two chatted a lot, from daily life to future plans, every topic was full of longing for a new life. Unconsciously, the sky outside the window was getting dark, the lights were on, and the city was decorated in an especially charming way.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Lu Jingchen stood up and gently pulled Jiang Ciyou up.

Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded, and walked out of the coffee shop with him. At this moment, she no longer had confusion and fear in her heart, but was replaced by full of hope and strength. She knew that the road ahead might still be rough, but as long as Lu Jingchen was by her side, she had the courage to go on and meet their happiness.

On the street, the two people's figures were stretched out by the street lights, snuggling together tightly, blending into the night of this bustling city, like a beautiful painting, telling the story of an unswerving love.
