Chapter 605 Lu Jingchen's Patience and Expectation
Although Jiang Ciyou did not respond immediately, Lu Jingchen was not impatient at all. He knew that this was an extremely difficult decision for Jiang Ciyou, and she needed time to sort out her emotions and thoughts.
At this time, the breeze gently blew through the garden, bringing bursts of floral fragrance. The surrounding flowers swayed in the moonlight, as if they were also sighing softly for the fate of the couple. Lu Jingchen bent down slightly, his eyes never leaving Jiang Ciyou. He gently held Jiang Ciyou's hands, which were broad and warm. His movements were gentle and firm, as if conveying a silent power.
He said gently, "Ciyou, I know this is difficult for you, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you. I just want you to know my feelings. No matter what decision you make, I will respect you." His voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to flow slowly from the deepest part of his heart, with endless affection and attachment. "But I hope you can believe me, I will spend my whole life protecting you and not let you get hurt."
Jiang Ciyou slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with complex lights, with surprise, emotion, hesitation, and a hint of imperceptible expectation. She looked at Lu Jingchen's sincere eyes, which were like the brightest stars in the night sky, bright and firm, as if they could penetrate the heavy fog in her heart. At that moment, she was even more moved. She knew that Lu Jingchen was a person worthy of entrusting her life to. His gentleness, thoughtfulness, patience, and everything he did for her made her deeply feel the taste of being loved.
However, she still couldn't let go of her worries easily. The painful scene of her husband's betrayal emerged involuntarily in her mind. It was a deep wound. Although it has gradually healed, it still hurts every time it is touched. She was afraid that she would fall into a failed relationship again, and that Lu Jingchen's family and business affairs would bring unbearable pressure to their love. She knew that Lu Jingchen's family played an important role in the business world, and the relationships within the family were complicated. Marrying into such a family would inevitably face many challenges and disputes. Moreover, she was not sure whether she could really integrate into that strange and stressful environment.
In this quiet corner of the garden, time seemed to have frozen. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood there quietly, each with a complicated mood, waiting for the guidance of fate. Everything around them became quiet, with only their slight breathing and heartbeats intertwined.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou in silence, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He gently pulled Jiang Ciyou to sit on a bench nearby. Their bodies were very close, and he could feel her slightly trembling body. He stretched out his arms and gently embraced her in his arms, letting her head rest on his shoulders. This hug was not aggressive at all, but full of comfort and protection.
He whispered in her ear, "Ciyou, I know what you are worried about. My family background is indeed complicated, but I am not someone who will be bound by my family. I have my own ideas and pursuits. I just want to be with you. Nothing else matters." His words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing through Jiang Ciyou's heart and slightly easing her uneasiness.
Jiang Ciyou was in Lu Jingchen's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat and warm body temperature, and her thoughts gradually drifted away. She recalled every moment she had spent with Lu Jingchen, and those beautiful memories played in her mind like a movie. That romantic summer they spent together at the beach, the sun shone on them, and Lu Jingchen taught her how to surf hand in hand. When she fell into the waves again and again, he always rushed over to help her up at the first time, with a concerned smile on his face, without the slightest blame. And that cold winter night, she suddenly fell ill with a fever, and Lu Jingchen was anxious and ran out in the heavy snow to buy medicine for her. When he came back, his whole body was soaked, but he only cared about taking care of her, making porridge for her, feeding her medicine, and staying by her bed all night without sleep.
These memories filled Jiang Ciyou's heart with emotion and sweetness, but at the same time made her more entangled. She didn't know whether she should take this step bravely to pursue this love. She was worried that her decision would bring trouble to Lu Jingchen and put him in trouble in the family. She was also afraid that she would be hurt again. Once she lost Lu Jingchen, she didn't know if she could still bear it.
Lu Jingchen seemed to sense Jiang Ciyou's inner struggle. He gently stroked her hair and said, "Ciyou, don't be afraid. We have been through so much together, and my feelings for you are as solid as a rock. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can face them together. Although my family is complicated, I will try my best to coordinate and make them accept you. I believe that as long as we love each other, nothing can stop us."
Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes. She saw firmness and determination in his eyes. Her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start. She knew that Lu Jingchen had done a lot for her. He had been silently protecting her and supporting her. And she herself couldn't keep running away like this. She needed to face her feelings bravely.
However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard footsteps. The two turned around and saw Jiang Ciyou's husband walking towards them. There was a sneer on his face, and his eyes were full of jealousy and anger.
"Hmph, you two dogs, being so affectionate here, you are really shameless!" he said viciously.
Jiang Ciyou's face turned pale instantly, and she subconsciously broke free from Lu Jingchen's arms. Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, and he stood up, blocking Jiang Ciyou, looking at Jiang Ciyou's husband with cold eyes.
"What qualifications do you have to talk nonsense here? You were the one who betrayed Ciyou, and now you have the nerve to blame us?" Lu Jingchen's voice was low and majestic, with a hint of unquestionable air.
Jiang Ciyou's husband was intimidated by Lu Jingchen's momentum, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Ciyou and I haven't divorced yet. She is still my wife. Do you think you can take her away easily?"
Lu Jingchen sneered and said, "You have already lost her heart. Do you think a marriage certificate can bind her? You don't deserve her at all."
Jiang Ciyou was behind Lu Jingchen, feeling mixed emotions. She looked at the two men in front of her, one was her husband who had betrayed her, and the other was Lu Jingchen who loved her deeply. She didn't know how to face this sudden situation. Her heart was full of contradictions and pain. She didn't want to hurt Lu Jingchen, nor did she want to have any more disputes with her husband.
At this moment, Jiang Ciyou's husband suddenly rushed towards Lu Jingchen and wanted to hit him. Lu Jingchen easily dodged his attack and then restrained him with his backhand. There was a hint of warning in his eyes, and he said, "I don't want to fight with you. You'd better stay away from us, otherwise I won't be polite."
Jiang Ciyou's husband struggled a few times, but Lu Jingchen was too strong and he couldn't get away at all. He could only look at Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou fiercely and said, "Just wait and see, I won't let you have it easy!"
After saying that, he left in disgrace. Lu Jingchen looked at his departing figure, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He turned around, looked at Jiang Ciyou, and said, "Ciyou, don't let him affect your mood. He just doesn't want to fail, so he comes to make trouble. Let's ignore him and continue our topic."
Jiang Ciyou nodded slightly, her heart was still heavy. She knew that her husband would not let them go so easily, and they would face more troubles and challenges in the future. But looking at Lu Jingchen's determined eyes, a trace of courage surged in her heart. She knew that as long as Lu Jingchen was by her side, she had the strength to face everything.
Lu Jingchen took Jiang Ciyou's hand again and sat on the bench. He looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation, and said, "Ciyou, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I will always wait for you, until the moment you make a decision."
Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath, she looked at Lu Jingchen and said slowly: "Jingchen, I am very grateful for your feelings for me, and I am also touched by everything you have done for me. I know you are a person worthy of entrusting your life to, but I am really scared. I am afraid of being hurt again, and I am afraid that our love cannot withstand the pressure from the outside world. I need time to think and sort out my feelings."
Lu Jingchen nodded slightly. He gently stroked Jiang Ciyou's hand and said, "I understand how you feel, Ciyou. I will give you enough time. Don't feel any pressure. I will always be here waiting for you, no matter how long it takes."
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen with tears in her eyes. She knew how lucky she was to meet such a man who loved her so deeply. She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what decision she made, she would not hurt Lu Jingchen.
In this quiet corner of the garden, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen sat quietly, their hands tightly clasped together, as if conveying a kind of strength to each other. The flowers around them were still swaying in the breeze, and the moonlight sprinkled on them, sketching a beautiful and peaceful picture for them. However, they all knew that this was only a temporary calm, and there would be countless challenges and unknowns waiting for them in the future. But their hearts were full of hope, because they believed that as long as they loved each other, they would be able to create a happy future that belonged to them.
