Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 853 Looking Back at the Past

The night is like a huge piece of black silk, gently covering the city. Everything is silent, only the twinkling lights are twinkling in the darkness, just like the stars on the ground, echoing the night sky. In Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's home, the baby is sleeping peacefully in his warm little bed, with a sweet smile on his lips, as if he is immersed in a wonderful dream.

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen tiptoed out of the baby's room, fearing to disturb the hard-earned tranquility. They came to the spacious balcony, which was covered with warm wooden floors and surrounded by several pots of carefully cared-for green plants, which exuded a faint fragrance in the night. The balcony railings were exquisitely carved with iron art, which was both beautiful and had a retro charm. Jiang Ciyou gently leaned on Lu Jingchen's solid shoulders, the breeze blew past, ruffling her soft hair, her eyes looked at the vast night sky in the distance, her thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free, and instantly drifted away.

"Jingchen, do you still remember when we first met?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was as soft as a dream, breaking the silence of the night, but with a different kind of tenderness, as if she was afraid to disturb the beauty of this quietness. "At that time, my heart was full of pain, and I felt that the whole world had collapsed. I never thought that I could be so happy now." She raised her head slightly, tears flashing in her eyes. Those past events that were once like nightmares, now under the filter of memory, have become the background to set off her current happiness.

Lu Jingchen leaned slightly to hold Jiang Ciyou tighter. His arms were strong and firm, as if they could protect her from all the storms in the world. He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ciyou's face full of emotion. His eyes were full of pampering and affection. He responded softly, "Of course I remember. Although those days were hard, every moment was like the thread of fate, tightly entangling us and finally bringing us together."

Jiang Ciyou's thoughts were drawn by Lu Jingchen's words, and she slowly returned to the unforgettable scene of her wedding night. That night should have been the happiest and most shining moment in her life. She was happily preparing for the wedding, and every detail was filled with her infinite longing for her future life. The wedding dress she carefully selected was as white as snow, inlaid with tiny diamonds, and sparkled with a dreamy light under the lights, like the bright stars in her eyes. The new room she decorated with her own hands was full of warmth and sweetness. The bed was covered with pink rose petals, symbolizing the sweetness and passion of love; her wedding photo with her husband was hung on the wall. The two people in the photo were smiling, and their eyes were full of expectations for the future.

However, fate dealt her a heavy blow at that moment. She sat by the bed in her new house, expecting her husband to return. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated as time passed, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. But what she waited for was a cold text message from her husband, telling her that he had eloped with his mistress and left the country. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world fell into a dead silence. She sat there, holding the phone tightly in her hand. The bright light of the screen hurt her eyes, but she did not feel any pain. She was filled with endless despair and disbelief.

"I just can't believe that those vows we made and those sweet past are so fragile. In the face of interests, he can abandon me without hesitation." Jiang Ciyou's voice trembled slightly, and the tears in her eyes flickered in the night. The painful memories were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart again.

Lu Jingchen gently stroked her back, trying to use his warmth to dispel the haze in her heart, and said softly: "That was his stupidity. He didn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman like you. And it was his departure that gave me the opportunity to enter your world."

Jiang Ciyou nodded slightly, with a bitter smile on her lips. After being betrayed by her husband, she fell into extreme pain and anger, and was determined to take revenge. So she began to go in and out of various high-end places, shuttled between the bright lights and wine, trying to find a gigolo to support, so as to fill the emptiness in her heart and forget the unforgettable pain.

Until that day, in a bustling bar, she met Lu Jingchen. At that time, Lu Jingchen sat quietly in the corner of the bar, and the hustle and bustle around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was wearing a black suit, which made his broad shoulders and narrow waist look even more upright. His handsome face exuded a mysterious charm under the dim light, and his deep eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, which could easily make people fall in love with him. When Jiang Ciyou saw him for the first time, she was attracted by his unique temperament.

"I still remember the first time I saw you, you were like a ray of light that suddenly broke into my dark world." Jiang Ciyou raised his head and looked at Lu Jingchen, his eyes full of tenderness and attachment. "At that time, although I pretended to be strong on the surface, my heart was already full of holes. It was you who warmed me up bit by bit."

Lu Jingchen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming smile. Recalling that time, his eyes were full of smiles: "And you, although you pretended to be indifferent, I could still see the pain in your eyes. I made up my mind at that time that I must make you happy again."

At first, Jiang Ciyou just wanted to use Lu Jingchen to numb herself and forget her husband's betrayal. They went to high-end restaurants together, tasting delicacies from all over the world. The moment each exquisite dish bloomed on the taste buds, it seemed to be able to temporarily dispel the haze in her heart; they went on vacation to the beach together. The sun, the beach, the waves, and Lu Jingchen's gentle company made her gradually feel the beauty of life. However, every night when it was quiet, the scene of her husband running away from marriage would always involuntarily appear in her mind, making her miserable.

"During that time, I was really conflicted. On the one hand, I enjoyed the happiness of being with you, but on the other hand, I couldn't completely get rid of the shadow of the past." Jiang Ciyou frowned slightly, with a trace of pain in his eyes. "I was hot and cold towards you. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for you."

Lu Jingchen gently squeezed her shoulders and comforted her: "Silly girl, I understand. I know you have been hurt and it takes time to heal. I am willing to wait as long as you can be truly happy."

Under Lu Jingchen's meticulous care, Jiang Ciyou's heart gradually melted. They spent three years of carefree time together, and those three years were as beautiful as a dream. They traveled to Paris hand in hand, strolled on the Champs Elysees, and felt the unique charm of this romantic city. The aroma of coffee on the street filled the air. They held hands and admired the performances of street performers, as if time had stopped for them; in London, they visited the ancient British Museum, appreciating the thickness of history and cultural heritage. On the rainy streets of London, Lu Jingchen held an umbrella for Jiang Ciyou, and the two smiled at each other, warm and sweet; in New York, they climbed to the top of the Empire State Building, overlooking the magnificent scenery of this bustling city, neon lights flashing, Jiang Ciyou leaned on Lu Jingchen's arms, her heart full of longing for the future.

"Those three years were the happiest time of my life." Jiang Ciyou's eyes sparkled with happiness. "We saw all the beautiful sights in the world together. You accompanied me out of the shadow of the past and helped me find myself again."

However, the road to happiness is not smooth. As time goes by, some frictions begin to arise between them. The trivialities of life, like small stones, occasionally break the originally peaceful surface of their life and create ripples. They quarrel over trivial matters, such as what to eat for dinner and where to go on weekends. These seemingly insignificant issues gradually wear away their trust in each other in repeated disputes.

"At that time, I was really scared, afraid that we would drift further and further apart because of these quarrels." Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with worry, "I began to doubt myself, and also doubted whether your feelings for me could really stand the test of time."

Lu Jingchen sighed softly and held her hand tighter: "Actually, I feel the same way. Every time after a quarrel, when I see you sad, I feel worse than you. I know that I didn't give you enough sense of security."

Just when their relationship was in trouble, Jiang Ciyou's husband suddenly returned to China, like a heavy bomb, breaking their originally peaceful life again. He tried to win back Jiang Ciyou, and in front of her, he apologized tearfully, admitted his mistakes, told her about his regrets and longings abroad over the years, and even expressed his willingness to give up everything and start over with her. Jiang Ciyou fell into a deep tangle. On one side was her ex-husband who had betrayed her, but after all, they had had a relationship for many years; on the other side was Lu Jingchen who accompanied her through countless difficult times and brought her countless happiness.

"I really didn't know how to choose at the time. I was so confused." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of confusion. "I was shocked by his return, but I was also afraid of hurting you. The pain was really indescribable."

There was a flash of pain and anger in Lu Jingchen's eyes, but more of it was heartache for Jiang Ciyou: "I know you are in a difficult situation. Seeing you in so much pain, I feel so sad. I thought at the time that if you really choose him, I will respect your decision, but I will also be so heartbroken that I can't help myself."

Finally, after careful consideration, Jiang Ciyou decided to break up with Lu Jingchen. She handed Lu Jingchen a huge check, trying to completely sever their relationship in this way. She told Lu Jingchen that her husband was back and that this was the end of their relationship. At that moment, Lu Jingchen was furious. He could not accept this reality and tried to keep Jiang Ciyou, but she had made up her mind and left without looking back.

"The moment I left you, my heart seemed to die as well." Lu Jingchen's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes full of pain. "I felt like my world collapsed in an instant. I drank and smoked all day long, doing nothing, as if I had lost the meaning of life."

Jiang Ciyou's eyes also welled up with tears. She gently stroked Lu Jingchen's cheek: "I am the same. After returning to my husband, I realized that I could no longer love him. There are too many hurts and betrayals between him and me. Those cracks can never be repaired. I miss you every day, miss your gentleness, miss your thoughtfulness, miss every bit of our time together."

Recalling this, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's eyes were filled with tears. The pain and struggle they once experienced have now turned into a deeper attachment to each other.

"Without those experiences, we might not be who we are today." Jiang Ciyou was filled with emotion, his voice choking with sobs, "Those pains taught me to grow up and made me know how to cherish the happiness in front of me. And you, who never left me, always accompanied me and gave me the courage to embrace life again."

Lu Jingchen gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Ciyou's eyes and said softly: "Yes, everything in the past is a gift from fate. Although it is full of ups and downs, it is these ups and downs that make our relationship more indestructible. Now, we have each other, a baby, and this happy home. All of this is worth it."

They embraced each other quietly in the night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on them, as if they were covered with a silver cloak. At this moment, their hearts were full of gratitude, grateful for the arrangement of fate, which allowed them to meet, know each other, and stay together in the vast sea of ​​people; grateful for the pain and setbacks in the past, which made them cherish this hard-won happiness even more. The road ahead is still long, but they know that as long as they join hands with each other, nothing can stop them from going to the other side of happiness.
