Jiang Ciyou looked at the investment contract that carried hope in front of her, and she could no longer hold back her tears. The hot tears rolled down one by one, hitting the paper of the contract, leaving small patches of water stains. At this moment, her heart seemed to be penetrated by a strong light, and the fog that had shrouded her heart for a long time dissipated instantly, and she finally saw her heart clearly.

All the past events flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. She had been ruthlessly betrayed by her husband on her wedding night, and was driven into the abyss by that cold and heartless text message. Her joy and expectations vanished in an instant, leaving only endless pain and despair. The feeling of being abandoned by the person closest to her was like a biting cold wind, whistling through her heart, causing her to have deep doubts about love and human nature.

When she was most vulnerable and confused, Lu Jingchen was like a warm dawn, quietly shining into her world. At first, she just wanted to use him to forget her pain, but Lu Jingchen used his sincerity, gentleness and patience to melt the ice in her heart little by little. The time they spent together, whether it was walking hand in hand on the beach during their vacation at the seaside, feeling the breeze and the caress of the sunset, or when she was sick, Lu Jingchen stayed by her bedside, made porridge for her, fed her medicine, his eyes full of concern and heartache, every picture was so clear and so profound, as if engraved in the depths of her soul.

She recalled a time when she was extremely depressed due to work pressure and the shadow of the past, and became particularly indifferent to Lu Jingchen. She thought he would be angry and leave, but Lu Jingchen stayed by her side silently, telling her jokes and trying his best to make her happy. There was no complaint in his eyes, only full of love and tolerance. At that moment, her heart had actually been quietly shaken.

There was also that quarrel. The two of them had a dispute over a small matter and refused to give in to each other. In her impulse, she said many hurtful words. Afterwards, she was full of regret and thought that their relationship had broken down. However, after Lu Jingchen calmed down, he took the initiative to find her, looked at her with red eyes, and said softly: "Ciyou, don't be angry, it's my fault, let's not hurt each other's hearts." His generosity and affection made her feel more and more that her willfulness was inappropriate.

Now, when the company is facing a desperate situation and he is almost swallowed by darkness, it is Lu Jingchen who stands up again regardless of everything. He runs around for her, suffers cold eyes and doubts but never gives up. Even in the face of many difficulties, he always stands firmly behind her and gives her the most powerful support with practical actions.

Jiang Ciyou realized that Lu Jingchen was the one who truly loved her and was willing to give everything for her. His love was not as hypocritical and utilitarian as her ex-husband's, but pure and passionate, like a bright star, illuminating her way forward. This love could stand the test of time and withstand the baptism of wind and rain.

She secretly vowed that she would never give up this relationship easily this time, and would bravely stand with Lu Jingchen and face the future together. In the past, she made too many wrong choices because of fear and confusion, hurting herself and Lu Jingchen. But from this moment on, she would completely let go of the burden of the past and respond to this deep love with all her heart.

Jiang Ciyou slowly stood up. Her legs were a little numb from sitting for a long time, but she didn't care at all at this moment. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Jingchen, and her eyes were shining with a firmness she had never seen before. One step, two steps, she walked towards Lu Jingchen with a slightly staggering but extremely firm pace, and every step seemed to crush the hesitation and confusion in the past.

Lu Jingchen stood there, quietly watching Jiang Ciyou walk towards him. His eyes were full of affection, relief and a little bit of subtle nervousness. Over the past few days, he has put in countless efforts for her and endured tremendous pressure. He was afraid that his efforts would still not be able to win her heart back, and that she would be shrouded in the shadow of the past again and choose to retreat.

When Jiang Ciyou finally walked in front of him, their eyes met, and at that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. All the noise around them gradually faded away, and it seemed as if the whole world was left with only them. Jiang Ciyou stretched out her hand, trembling slightly, and the trembling was not because of fear, but from the surging emotions deep in her heart. She gently hugged Lu Jingchen, buried her head in his chest, and felt his strong heartbeat, which sounded like the most beautiful music, playing in her ears.

Lu Jingchen was also stunned by this sudden hug, and then his eyes were instantly moist, and all the fatigue, grievances and worries turned into deep tenderness at this moment. He hugged Jiang Ciyou tightly back, his arms like a solid fortress, protecting her firmly in his arms. He lowered his head, gently resting his chin on the top of Jiang Ciyou's head, and whispered softly: "Ciyou, don't be afraid, we will go together in the future."

Jiang Ciyou was in his arms, tears flowing freely. She nodded vigorously and said with a sob: "Jingchen, thank you, I will never push you away again. I know that you are the one I have been waiting for."

The two of them hugged each other like this, unwilling to separate for a long time. They seemed to want to make up for the hugs and warmth they had missed in the past at this moment. The sunlight outside the window shone through the mottled leaves, casting light and shadows on the ground, as if sending the best wishes for their lost and regained love.

After a long time, Jiang Ciyou slowly raised her head. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but her face was filled with a happy smile. She looked at Lu Jingchen, reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "Let's go out for a walk. I want to get some fresh air."

Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded, holding Jiang Ciyou's hand, interlocking their fingers. They walked out of the office hand in hand, and the employees in the company saw this scene, and they all looked at them in surprise and relief. During this period, everyone saw the company's difficulties, and the boss Jiang Ciyou's haggardness was even more distressing. Seeing her cheer up again and being so sweet with Lu Jingchen, everyone's hearts also ignited the flame of hope.

The two of them strolled along the street, the afternoon sun was warm and comfortable. The shop windows on the street were filled with all kinds of exquisite goods, and occasionally a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers. They walked along the way, sharing each other's inner thoughts. Those words that had never been said because of misunderstandings or busyness, now poured out like a flood.

Jiang Ciyou talked about her despair when the company was in trouble. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "Jingchen, do you know? At that time, I really felt that the sky was falling. I looked at the company in a mess, and my heart was full of self-blame, wondering why things had turned out like this again. I even felt that I was unworthy of your love and almost gave up."

Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and said distressedly, "Silly girl, don't say such things. You are so strong and work so hard, but you just encountered a villain. No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side, and we will bear it together."

Jiang Ciyou leaned on his shoulder with emotion and continued, "I now understand that love is not about escaping or taking advantage of others, but about supporting each other and growing together. You gave me the courage to believe in love again."

Lu Jingchen kissed her forehead gently and responded tenderly: "You also make me more mature and responsible. Ciyou, our future will definitely get better and better."

They passed by a coffee shop, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee. Jiang Ciyou suddenly felt like pulling Lu Jingchen in. The two found a seat by the window and ordered two cups of latte. Looking at the wisps of steam rising from the coffee cup, Jiang Ciyou's thoughts drifted away. She whispered, "Jingchen, do you remember the first time we met? In that bar, I was full of thoughts of revenge, but I didn't expect to meet you."

Lu Jingchen's mouth curled up, his eyes full of tender memories: "Of course I remember, at that time you looked stubborn, but you couldn't hide the sadness in your eyes. I was attracted to you at first sight, and I thought to myself that I must help this girl get out of the haze."

Jiang Ciyou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "So you had evil intentions at that time."

Lu Jingchen smiled and held her hand: "This is called fate. God destined me to protect you."

The two drank coffee and imagined the future. They planned to travel once the company was completely stable, to see places they had always wanted to visit but never had the chance to, such as romantic French towns and mysterious Egyptian pyramids. They also discussed learning new knowledge together and improving themselves, not only for their careers, but also to better manage their relationship.

After leaving the coffee shop, they went to the park again. The park was covered with green grass and colorful flowers. Children were laughing and playing on the grass, and the elderly were sitting on benches basking in the sun and chatting. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen found a quiet corner to sit down and quietly enjoy this moment of tranquility. Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, closed her eyes, and her heart was full of peace and happiness. She knew that there might be bumps in the road ahead, but as long as Lu Jingchen was by her side, she had the courage to face everything.

As the sun gradually sets, the horizon is dyed a gorgeous orange-red, like a beautiful painting. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stand up, hand in hand, and walk slowly towards the afterglow of the sunset. Their figures are stretched out, as if telling the story of their journey, and also foreshadowing that they will walk hand in hand towards a hopeful future. For them, this day is the starting point of a new beginning and a witness to the sublimation of love. They will carry this firm love and bravely rush to every challenge and beauty in the future.
