Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After a busy day, Jiang Ciyou sank into the sofa in the office to take a short rest. Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the city remained, with traffic jams and neon lights flashing like a dream, but they could no longer stir up the waves in her heart. In the past, such a prosperous scene would always make her heart surge, full of ambition to conquer the business world, but now, after going through the baptism of wind and rain, those false fame and false profits gradually faded in her eyes, and only the figure of one person became clearer and clearer - Lu Jingchen.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed her sore temples, her thoughts drifting away involuntarily, back to the beginning of her acquaintance with Lu Jingchen. It was in a bar with dim lights and deafening music. She was full of sorrow and grief over her husband's betrayal on the wedding night. She just wanted to find a little comfort in this world of luxury. At that time, Lu Jingchen was like a ray of light, rushing into her world recklessly. He was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His handsome face was even more profound and charming under the ambiguous light and shadow. His temperament, which could be both wolfish and milky, had a unique bewitching power, which instantly attracted Jiang Ciyou's attention. But at that time, she was full of scars, and only regarded him as a tool to avenge her husband and numb herself, trying to fill the void in her heart with an absurd "keeping" relationship.

At the beginning of their relationship, Jiang Ciyou was always a bit careless, even deliberately keeping a distance, using money to build a cold defense line, trying to tell herself that this was just a transaction. However, Lu Jingchen was like a burning fire, melting the ice in her heart bit by bit. The time they spent together shone like pearls in their memories. They strolled along the beach, the salty sea breeze ruffled their hair, and the soft sand left a string of footprints. Lu Jingchen would suddenly rush towards the waves childishly, splashing crystal water, and then turn back to show her a bright smile. At that moment, the sun shone on him, and Jiang Ciyou was a little dazed, and a long-lost ripple appeared in her heart.

Another time, in a high-end restaurant, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the exquisite food. Jiang Ciyou was saddened by the memory of her husband's betrayal, and she lost her appetite. Lu Jingchen noticed it keenly, he didn't say much, just gently held her hand, the warmth in his palm continued to come, and then he told one humorous joke after another, his eyebrows curved, his eyes full of pampering, and he made Jiang Ciyou burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the restaurant, dispelling the haze.

Memories surged in like a tide, and Jiang Ciyou's mouth corners unconsciously rose, but her eyes gradually became moist. She knew very well that her previous wavering and fear of loss were like a sharp blade that pierced Lu Jingchen's heart many times. She had struggled in the quagmire of past emotions, blinded by hatred and confusion, and regarded Lu Jingchen's sincerity as a plaything, squandering it wantonly. Sometimes she was warm and intimate with him, enjoying the warmth and happiness he brought; sometimes she was indifferent and distant, licking her old wounds alone in the dead of night, shutting him out and making him wait outside the door. Thinking of that lonely figure in the cold wind now, it pierced Jiang Ciyou's heart like a needle.

But now, in this desperate situation, when all the disguises were stripped away by the cruel reality, when the whole world seemed to be against her, Lu Jingchen rushed to the front without hesitation, using his not-so-broad but extremely solid chest to protect her from the wind and rain. He mobilized the deep connections accumulated by his family over the years, and those low-key and humble friends hidden in all walks of life appeared one after another at his call, like heavenly soldiers and generals to help her solve problems. He personally ran between various partners, and never backed down in the face of doubts and difficulties. With his keen insight into business, he analyzed market trends and tapped the company's potential. He spoke earnestly and with a sincere attitude, just to save those partnerships that were about to break.

The guilt in Jiang Ciyou's heart was like a vine that entangled her like crazy, making her breathless. Every time she thought of the little things Lu Jingchen had done for her, the affection that she had ignored and trampled on, regret would overwhelm her like a tide. She secretly vowed that if she could get through this difficult time, she must cherish this relationship and not let those external rumors and business disputes interfere with them. This love, after going through hardships, has become like quenched steel, indestructible, and she must spend the rest of her life to protect it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ciyou stood up suddenly, with a gleam of determination and tenderness in her eyes. She tidied up her messy clothes, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. In the company, employees were still busy at their respective posts, and the sound of keyboard tapping and telephone calls intertwined into a melody of struggle. Seeing the boss coming out, everyone cast a concerned and admiring look. During this period, Jiang Ciyou's tenacity and hard work were obvious to all, and she had become the spiritual pillar of the company.

Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded to everyone, then walked straight to the kitchen area. The company has a simple kitchen for the convenience of overtime employees. On weekdays, few people come to it, but now it has become a stage for Jiang Ciyou to express her love. She opened the refrigerator, looked at the limited ingredients inside, and silently thought about the recipe in her mind. Although she is not good at cooking, for Lu Jingchen, she is willing to try and make every effort.

She carefully took out the fresh steak, vegetables and a few eggs, put the steak on the chopping board, and gently patted it with the back of the knife, trying to make it more tender and tasty. The knife in her hand was a little out of control and her movements were a little clumsy, but her eyes were focused, as if she was carving a rare treasure. Then, she lit the stove, and the blue flame jumped up, adding a bit of warmth to the cold kitchen. When the pan was heated, pour a little olive oil, and the aroma of the oil filled the air in an instant. She gently put the steak in, and the "sizzling" sound echoed throughout the kitchen, and the oil splashed, but she was not afraid at all. She stared at the steak intently, turned it over at the right time, and watched the surface of the steak gradually become golden and charred, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

On the side, she washed the vegetables in clean water, and then she clumsily cut them into neat strips and put them into another pot to blanch them, making the green color brighter. She tapped the egg gently on the edge of the bowl, and the golden egg liquid flowed into the bowl. She quickly stirred it with chopsticks, then poured it into the pan and spread it into a golden omelet.

After a long busy time, a simple but thoughtful dinner was finally ready. Jiang Ciyou carefully arranged the steak, vegetables and omelette, and found a bottle of red wine that she had treasured for a long time and poured it into a crystal clear goblet. The red wine sparkled charmingly under the light. She looked around, and the slightly simple kitchen was now filled with warmth because of this thoughtfulness.

Jiang Ciyou brought dinner back to the office and gently called Lu Jingchen. On the other end of the phone, Lu Jingchen's slightly tired but still concerned voice came: "Ciyou, what's wrong? Is everything okay at the company?" Jiang Ciyou's eyes were hot and he said softly: "Jingchen, are you done with your work? Come to my office."

Not long after, Lu Jingchen hurried over. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned. In the office, the dim light was adjusted to the warmest tone, shining on the coffee table covered with an exquisite tablecloth. On the table was a tempting dinner. Jiang Ciyou stood beside him, her eyes gentle and shy, just like the girl with aspirations when they first met.

"Jingchen, thank you for your hard work during this period. I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past and caused you a lot of grievances. This dinner is a little gift from me, and I hope you like it." Jiang Ciyou walked up, took Lu Jingchen's hand, and led him to the sofa.

Lu Jingchen's eyes flashed with surprise and emotion. His Adam's apple rolled and thousands of words were stuck in his throat. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Ciyou, what are you doing..." Jiang Ciyou gently covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't say anything, try my cooking first."

The two sat opposite each other in a warm and quiet atmosphere. Lu Jingchen picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender, and although the seasoning was a little undercooked, in his heart, this was the most delicious delicacy in the world. He looked up at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of love: "Ciyou, it's delicious, really." Jiang Ciyou's cheeks flushed, he picked up the wine glass, and gently clinked glasses with Lu Jingchen: "Jingchen, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, let's go together, okay?" Lu Jingchen nodded heavily and drank the red wine in the glass. The mellow liquid slid down his throat, warming his body and mind, and strengthening his determination to protect this love.

Outside the window, the night deepens, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually fades away, and only the warmth and sweetness in this office become more and more intense. After experiencing countless storms, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen finally find the original beauty. Their love, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, soars above the ruins and flies towards the other side of happiness. In the days that followed, no matter how turbulent the business world was, no matter how the outside world gossiped, they held hands, heart to heart, and wrote their own legend with love and courage, making this unswerving affection a good story passed down in the business world and even the entire city, warming the hearts of everyone who heard it.
