Chapter 510: The Beginning of Decision: The Corner Chapter
After Jiang Ciyou left the banquet hall, she came to a relatively quiet corner. Her mood was like the surface of a lake ruffled by the wind, with waves rising and falling. She leaned against the wall, raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her thoughts. However, the appearance of Lu Jingchen was like a huge rock thrown into the lake, breaking all her efforts.
She recalled the moment she saw Lu Jingchen at the banquet, and the surprise and panic in her heart had not dissipated until now. She never expected to meet him here, and in such an occasion. Lu Jingchen's figure, his eyes, his smile, and his familiar breath kept appearing in her mind.
Just as Jiang Ciyou was immersed in her thoughts, she heard a slight sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Jingchen walking towards her. Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know how to face him, and she didn't know what to say.
Lu Jingchen walked up to Jiang Ciyou and looked at her quietly. His eyes were full of expectation and uneasiness. Jiang Ciyou avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and broke the silence. "Can we talk?" His voice was low and gentle, as if carrying an irresistible power.
Jiang Ciyou was silent for a while, then nodded gently. She knew that they needed to have a conversation and make everything clear.
The two found a relatively quiet place to sit down. It was a small terrace with some green plants around it, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The moonlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou with deep affection in his eyes. "Long time no see, Jiang Ciyou." There was a hint of emotion in his voice.
Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked at Lu Jingchen. His face was still so handsome, and his eyes were still so deep. She felt inexplicably moved, but she didn't know how to express it.
"Yeah, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here." Jiang Ciyou's voice was a little hoarse, and she tried hard to control her emotions.
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly. He could feel Jiang Ciyou's nervousness and uneasiness. He wanted her to relax and let her know that he had no ill intentions. "Don't be nervous. I just want to talk to you." His voice was gentle and soothing.
Jiang Ciyou nodded, and she tried to relax herself. She looked at Lu Jingchen, waiting for his next words.
Lu Jingchen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Jiang Ciyou, I know there are many misunderstandings and contradictions between us. But, I hope you can listen to my explanation."
Jiang Ciyou didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. Her heart was full of doubts, not knowing what Lu Jingchen was going to explain.
Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, I haven't told you my true identity because I don't want you to get close to me because of my identity. I hope you love me as a person, not my identity."
Jiang Ciyou's eyes widened. She couldn't believe her ears. She had never thought that Lu Jingchen would have such an idea. She always thought he was just an ordinary man, a pretty boy that she could support.
"Are you the son of the richest man?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of surprise.
Lu Jingchen nodded, his eyes full of helplessness. "Yes, I am the son of the richest man. I know this identity may make you feel pressured, but I hope you can understand me. I don't want to lose you because of my identity."
Jiang Ciyou was silent for a long time, she didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, including surprise, confusion, touching, and helplessness.
"Why are you telling me now?" Jiang Ciyou finally broke the silence.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou with sincerity in his eyes. "Because I don't want to lose you. I know if I tell you my identity from the beginning, you might leave me because of the pressure. So, I chose to hide it. But now I find that I can't go on like this. I must tell you the truth, I must let you know my feelings."
A warm current surged in Jiang Ciyou's heart. She could feel Lu Jingchen's sincerity and love. However, she still had many concerns in her heart. She thought of her husband and every little bit of their past. She didn't know how to choose.
"I don't know what to do. My life is already a mess, and I don't want to get into more trouble." Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of helplessness.
Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand, his eyes full of determination. "I won't cause you any trouble. I just want you to know that my feelings have not changed. I still love you, and I am willing to do anything for you."
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, and her heart was filled with emotion. She could feel Lu Jingchen's sincerity, but she still had many doubts in her heart. She didn't know whether Lu Jingchen's love could last, and she didn't know whether there would be a future between them.
"I don't know who to trust." Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of confusion.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of understanding. "I know you are confused and bewildered now. But I hope you can believe me. I will use my actions to prove my love, and I will make you happy."
Jiang Ciyou was silent for a long time, her heart was full of contradictions. She didn't know how to choose, she didn't know where her future lay.
Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou's hesitation, and he knew she needed time to think about it. He didn't want to push her too hard, and he hoped she could make her own choice.
"I'll give you some time to think about it. I hope you can make the right choice." After Lu Jingchen said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's back, feeling reluctant to leave. She wanted to call him, but she didn't know what to say. She could only watch him leave silently, feeling conflicted and tangled.
After Lu Jingchen left, Jiang Ciyou sat alone on the terrace, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't know what to do. She thought of the time she spent with Lu Jingchen, and those beautiful memories made her heart beat. However, she thought of her husband again, and she felt that she couldn't just abandon him like this. She fell into deep entanglement.
She thought of her past dreams and the life she wanted. She felt that she could not live in such a muddle-headed way any longer. She had to make a choice, a choice that would make her happy.
However, this choice is not easy. She doesn't know whether she should choose Lu Jingchen or her husband. She doesn't know where her future lies, and she doesn't know where to go.
Jiang Ciyou sat on the terrace for a long time until she heard the end of the banquet. She stood up, sorted out her emotions, and prepared to return to the banquet.
When she returned to the party, her husband saw her and came over quickly. He asked, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Jiang Ciyou said perfunctorily, "I went to the bathroom." Her husband did not doubt her and continued chatting with others. Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband's back, feeling a little helpless.
She knew she couldn't go on like this, and she had to make a choice. However, this choice was not easy, and she needed time and thought.
