Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 667 An unexpected encounter

In the city's commercial center, a grand industry summit is in full swing. Inside the venue, the lights are bright, and elites in neat suits or elegant dresses are walking around the booths and exchange areas. The air is filled with the atmosphere of opportunities and challenges. As a dark horse in the emerging investment community, Jiang Ciyou naturally received an invitation. She was wearing a well-cut black slim dress, simple yet elegant, with an exquisite pearl necklace, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her hair look like clouds. She exuded a confident and charming glow.

She held a glass of champagne in her hand, sipping it slightly, her eyes revealing a bit of thoughtfulness. During this period, Lu Jingchen's figure always lingered in her mind. His deep affection and every little thing he did for her were like a gentle hammer, gently knocking on her heart. But the pain of being betrayed in the past was like a shadow, shrouding her on the road to a new relationship.

Just as she was lost in thought, there was a slight commotion not far away. The crowd unconsciously parted a path, and a tall and straight figure walked over with steady and powerful steps. Jiang Ciyou subconsciously raised her eyes, and in an instant, her eyes met those familiar and deep eyes - it was Lu Jingchen.

Today, he was wearing a dark grey suit made by hand in Italy. His broad shoulders were perfectly outlined, and the narrow waist was smooth and natural, making him look as straight as a pine tree. His tie was a deep royal blue, which was just right in front of his white shirt, adding a bit of coldness and dignity to his whole person. His hair was carefully groomed, not a single strand out of place, his sword-like eyebrows flew into his temples, his eyes seemed to hide bright stars, and under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly raised, with a faint smile.

Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou at first sight, and his eyes flashed with surprise and tenderness that could not be concealed. He walked straight towards her without hesitation, as if the hustle and bustle around him faded away at this moment, and she was the only one left in the world.

"Ciyou, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Jingchen's voice was low and magnetic, with a bit of joy, breaking Jiang Ciyou's momentary daze.

Jiang Ciyou panicked, and her first reaction was to avoid him. The chaotic and painful past relationship made her timid and cowardly when facing true love. She was afraid of getting hurt again, and afraid that the defense she had built up with great difficulty would collapse in an instant under Lu Jingchen's gentle attack. So, she slightly turned sideways, dodged his gaze, and said softly, "Yes, what a coincidence." There was a hint of alienation in her words.

Lu Jingchen seemed unaware. He took a step forward and cleverly blocked the direction Jiang Ciyou wanted to escape. His eyes were always fixed on her, as if he wanted to see through her. "How have you been recently?" His tone was full of concern, and his eyes were filled with genuine worry.

Jiang Ciyou subconsciously clenched the champagne glass in her hand, her knuckles slightly white from the force. She didn't dare to look directly into Lu Jingchen's eyes, so she could only lower her eyes slightly, look at the ground, and responded softly: "It's okay, let's leave it like that."

Lu Jingchen frowned slightly. How could he not hear Jiang Ciyou's perfunctory response? He knew her inner struggle and pain, and knew that it was the scars of the past that made her so cautious when facing him. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and secretly vowed to use his sincerity to slowly melt the ice in her heart.

"Ciyou, I know you are still worried. But I want you to know that my feelings for you have never changed. I am willing to accompany you to slowly heal those past pains." Lu Jingchen's voice was soft but firm. Every word was like a stone thrown into the lake of the heart, causing ripples in Jiang Ciyou's heart.

Jiang Ciyou's lips trembled slightly, she raised her head, and her eyes finally met Lu Jingchen's. At this moment, she saw the affection, persistence and heartache in his eyes, which was a sincere emotion that could not be disguised. The good memories of her past with Lu Jingchen flooded into her heart like a tide.

They had strolled along the beach together, listening to the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore, and watching the sunset dye the sky a gorgeous orange-red. Lu Jingchen would quietly pick up a beautiful shell when she was not paying attention, put it in her palm, and say with a smile: "This is a gift from the sea, just as beautiful as you." At that moment, the sea breeze blew past, ruffling their hair, and Jiang Ciyou's heart was filled with a warm feeling.

There was also that time when she was sick and lay drowsy in bed. Lu Jingchen was extremely worried. He stayed by her bedside and didn't dare to leave for a moment. He gently wiped her burning forehead with a wet towel, and then carefully fed her medicine, and kept muttering: "Get well soon, you are uncomfortable, I feel bad." His eyes were full of anxiety and concern, which made Jiang Ciyou feel extremely warm even in the pain.

These memories were like bright stars, flickering in Jiang Ciyou's heart, gradually dispelling some of the haze. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat felt dry and she couldn't make a sound.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jingchen's heart moved slightly. He gently stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Jiang Ciyou's slightly trembling hand and give her some strength. But just when his fingertips were about to touch her, Jiang Ciyou seemed to suddenly come to her senses and subconsciously took a step back.

"I... I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now." Jiang Ciyou said this in a panic, turned around and left quickly. She didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that if she stayed for another second, she would completely sink into Lu Jingchen's deep affection.

Lu Jingchen's hands froze in mid-air, and as he watched Jiang Ciyou leave, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes. But soon, that loneliness was replaced by determination. He knew that Jiang Ciyou was struggling inside, and he was willing to give her time and use his love to slowly guide her out of the shadow of the past.

Jiang Ciyou almost fled from the venue, her heart pounding like a drum and her cheeks slightly hot. Along the way, Lu Jingchen's figure and the words he said kept appearing in her mind. When she returned home, she sat exhausted on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

"What should I do..." Jiang Ciyou whispered softly, feeling confused. On the one hand, she was afraid of falling into the quagmire of love again and repeating the same mistakes; on the other hand, Lu Jingchen's sincerity made her heart beat fast, and those beautiful memories were the sweetness she had never experienced before.

After a long time, Jiang Ciyou slowly sat up, walked to the window, and looked out at the bustling city night scene. The lights were bright, the traffic was busy, and countless stories were staged in this city every day, with sadness and joy, gathering and separation. She thought of the ups and downs she had gone through, from the despair of being betrayed by her husband on her wedding night to meeting Lu Jingchen later and experiencing warmth and care again. She knew that she could no longer escape like this, and it was time to bravely face her heart.

At this moment, Jiang Ciyou's phone suddenly rang, and a familiar number appeared on the screen - it was Lu Jingchen. Her hands trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she pressed the answer button.

"Ciyou, I know you are feeling very confused right now. I don't want to put pressure on you, I just hope you know that no matter what you encounter, I will always be by your side to support you." Lu Jingchen's voice came through the receiver, gentle and firm, with a reassuring power.

Jiang Ciyou's eyes were slightly moist. She sniffed and said softly, "I understand. Thank you, Jingchen." At this moment, the defenses in her heart loosened a little. Perhaps it was time to give herself and this sincere feeling a chance.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou sat back on the sofa. Her mood gradually calmed down, and her eyes showed an unprecedented firmness. She knew that the road ahead might still be full of challenges, but with Lu Jingchen's company, she was willing to go on bravely and pursue her own happiness.
