Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The morning sun gently shines through the gauze curtains and sprinkles into the cozy bedroom of Jiang Ciyou and her daughter Xiaoyueliang. Today is Xiaoyueliang's third birthday. Jiang Ciyou deliberately turned down several important business meetings just to accompany her daughter wholeheartedly on this special day. She got up early, washed up quietly, put on a soft beige knitted dress, looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyes had a bit of gentle maternal radiance. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

"Mom, I want to get up." Xiaoyueliang rubbed her sleepy eyes and called out in a baby voice. Jiang Ciyou hurried to the bed, leaned over and gently picked up her daughter, and kissed her rosy little face: "Happy birthday, my baby." Xiaoyueliang's eyes lit up and she hugged her mother's neck with her little hands: "Mom, I'm three years old today!"

After washing Xiaoyue and putting on a beautiful pink princess dress, the mother and daughter went out hand in hand. Along the way, Xiaoyue was like a cheerful little sparrow, chirping non-stop, pointing at the flowers blooming on the roadside, and then excitedly looking at the birds flying in the sky. Jiang Ciyou patiently responded to every word of her daughter, her heart full of doting.

Soon, they arrived at the most famous cake shop in the city. When they opened the door, the sweet smell hit them in the face. A wide variety of cakes were displayed in the glass window, like a dreamy dessert kingdom. Little Moon let go of her mother's hand and ran to the window, her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open, obviously attracted by these exquisite cakes.

Jiang Ciyou followed her daughter with a smile, and her heart was filled with tenderness as she watched her daughter concentrate. The clerk came up to them enthusiastically and recommended various new cakes to them. Jiang Ciyou was patiently choosing when Xiaoyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of doubts, and asked in a baby voice, "Mom, why are you always so busy?"

This sudden question startled Jiang Ciyou. She squatted down slightly and looked straight into her daughter's innocent eyes. Suddenly, her thoughts came flooding back. She could remember the days and nights she had to work hard, the exhaustion of staying up late to prepare project plans, the hard work of traveling around to expand the business... But at the same time, what came to her mind more were the achievements she had gained from her hard work, her firm determination to create a better life for her daughter, and the warm scene of overcoming many difficulties hand in hand with Lu Jingchen.

She gently held Xiaoyue's hand, her voice gentle but firm: "Because mom has to protect many important things, just like dad protects us." Jiang Ciyou paused and continued, "Mom wants to give you a warm and comfortable home so that you can be happy every day. Look, the big house we live in, the cute toys in your room, and the playground you like to go to, these are all earned by mom's hard work. Moreover, mom is also doing some very meaningful things, helping many people realize their dreams, just like the fairy in the story, bringing hope to everyone."

Little Moon nodded, not quite understanding, scratched her head with her little hand, and a few strands of hair curled up playfully. She blinked her eyes, suddenly smiled slyly, reached out and dipped the cream on the cake next to her, and then gently wiped it on the tip of Jiang Ciyou's nose: "Then Mom will always protect Little Moon." Jiang Ciyou's eyes suddenly became hot, and the coolness on the tip of her nose intertwined with the warmth in her heart. She remembered the wedding night many years ago when she was betrayed by her husband, and her heart was full of despair and pain. At that time, she never thought that she would have such a warm and precious bond now.

She hugged Xiaoyue tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to embed her daughter in her heart. Xiaoyue was a little surprised at first, and her little body froze slightly, but she quickly hugged her mother back, and patted her back gently with her little hands, as if to comfort her mother. Jiang Ciyou placed soft kisses on the top of her daughter's head, and murmured: "Mom will always protect you, my baby."

At this time, the clerk came over with a carefully made three-layer pink princess cake, which was decorated with sparkling sugar beads and cute cartoon characters, and a small and exquisite crown candle on the top. "Wow, what a beautiful cake!" Little Moon screamed excitedly, broke free from her mother's arms, ran to the cake, and stared at it without blinking.

Jiang Ciyou stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes, smiled and thanked the clerk. After paying, she took Xiaoyueliang's hand and prepared to go home. Just as she reached the door of the store, Xiaoyueliang stopped and looked up at her mother: "Mom, I want to share the cake with the children in the kindergarten, can I?" Jiang Ciyou felt warm in her heart and touched her daughter's head: "Of course, Xiaoyueliang is really sensible."

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou helped Xiaoyue put the cake carefully on the dining table, and found a few exquisite small boxes to pack the cakes. Xiaoyue jumped around, humming a tuneless little song, and reached out to touch the cake from time to time, looking impatient.

Just then, Lu Jingchen came back from get off work. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the cake on the table and his excited daughter, and a bright smile immediately broke out on his face: "My little princess, happy birthday!" As he said that, he strode to Xiaoyue, picked her up, and spun her in the air. Xiaoyue giggled and put her arms around her father's neck: "Dad, my mother and I bought a super beautiful cake, I will take it to the kindergarten to share with the children."

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He nodded slightly, approving of his daughter's idea: "Little Moon is great. Knowing how to share is the most beautiful virtue." After putting Little Moon down, he walked to Jiang Ciyou, hugged her gently, and whispered in her ear: "Thank you for your hard work, dear." Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms and shook her head slightly: "It's not hard. Today is my daughter's birthday. I just want to make her happy."

The family of three sat around the dining table. Little Moon sat in the middle, holding the spoon tightly in her little hands, looking at the cake with shining eyes. Lu Jingchen put a birthday crown on his daughter and lit the candles. Jiang Ciyou sang the birthday song softly, and Lu Jingchen hummed along. Little Moon closed her eyes, put her hands together, and made a wish seriously. The flickering candlelight illuminated her rosy little face, like a beautiful painting.

After making a wish, Xiaoyue blew out the candles and clapped excitedly. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen smiled at each other, their eyes full of love for their daughter. They helped Xiaoyue cut the cake and put the sweet cakes into the small box. Xiaoyue took the box full of cakes, like holding the most precious treasure, and carefully put it into her schoolbag.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen sent Xiaoyueliang to kindergarten together. Along the way, Xiaoyueliang kept talking on the phone with her friends, excitedly sharing her birthday cake, her tender voice full of joy. When they arrived at the kindergarten, the children gathered around Xiaoyueliang as soon as they saw her. Xiaoyueliang happily took out the cake from her schoolbag and shared it with everyone.

Seeing her daughter laughing among the other children, Jiang Ciyou's eyes moistened again. Lu Jingchen gently held her hand and gave her silent comfort. At this time, the kindergarten teacher came over and said to Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen with a smile: "Xiao Yueliang is very sensible in kindergarten. She often tells her friends how great her parents are. She is very proud of you." Jiang Ciyou's heart moved and she looked at Lu Jingchen. Both of them flashed a touch of emotion in their eyes.

After leaving the kindergarten, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen did not go home immediately. They walked hand in hand on the street, the sun shining on them, warm. "Do you still remember when Xiaoyueliang was just born?" Jiang Ciyou asked softly, her eyes full of memories, "I was in a mess at that time, and it was all up to you to take care of me and the child." Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "How could I not remember, at that time you were so tired that you fell asleep, and I secretly told Xiaoyueliang our story and told her how brave her mother was."

The two walked and talked, recalling every bit of Xiaoyue's growth. From the first time she learned to roll over, the first time she called mom and dad, to her first steps and babbling, every moment seemed to be frozen in time and became the most precious treasure in their hearts. Unconsciously, they walked to a small park. The park was shaded by green trees and colorful flowers, and there were many children playing on the grass.

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen found a bench and sat down, quietly watching the warm scene in front of them. "Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't met you, what would my life be like with Xiaoyueliang?" Jiang Ciyou leaned on Lu Jingchen's shoulder and said softly. Lu Jingchen turned his head slightly and kissed her forehead: "Don't think about it. Fate made us meet to give us a happy home. In the future, we will have more good times to spend together, watching Xiaoyueliang grow up, and watching our home get better and better."

Jiang Ciyou was deeply moved. She knew that Lu Jingchen was right. All the pain and setbacks she had experienced were now in the past. Now she had a husband who loved her, a lovely daughter, and a successful career of her own. This was the happy life she had always dreamed of.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed a gorgeous orange-red. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood up and walked home hand in hand. Along the way, they discussed what delicious food to make for Xiaoyueliang in the evening and planned to take her to a picnic in the suburbs on the weekend. When they got home, Jiang Ciyou walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner, while Lu Jingchen helped by the side. The two talked and laughed, and a warm atmosphere filled the whole house.

After dinner, Xiao Yueliang ran to Jiang Ciyou with a picture book in her arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, tell me a story." Jiang Ciyou took the picture book with a smile, held her daughter in her arms, and sat on the sofa to read softly. Lu Jingchen sat next to her, with one hand around Jiang Ciyou's shoulders, occasionally echoing a few words, making Xiao Yueliang laugh.

After Xiaoyue fell asleep, Jiang Ciyou gently carried her back to the room, covered her with a blanket, and left a gentle kiss on her forehead. Back in the living room, Lu Jingchen was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. He stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Ciyou into his arms: "Are you tired today?" Jiang Ciyou shook her head with a happy smile on her face: "No, today is the happiest day of my life."

The two of them sat on the sofa, hugging each other, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, as if they were coated with a layer of silver gauze. Jiang Ciyou closed her eyes, silently grateful for the gift of fate. Once, she thought her world had collapsed and there would be no possibility of happiness, but now, she has it all, everything is better than she imagined. She knows that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties she encounters, as long as Lu Jingchen and Xiaoyueliang are by her side, she will have the courage to face it and protect this hard-won happiness.
