Chapter 657: Inner Wavering
Jiang Ciyou sat quietly in front of the window, the moonlight sprinkled on her body like water, outlining her delicate yet resolute figure. Her eyes looked into the distance with a bit of emptiness, and her mind kept emerging with every little thing Lu Jingchen did for her, and those scenes flashed in her heart like a revolving lantern.
Recalling the time when they first met, she only wanted to take revenge on her husband to support a gigolo, but she didn't expect to have such a deep entanglement with Lu Jingchen. In those seemingly decadent days, Lu Jingchen's smile, his gentleness, and his care that he inadvertently revealed, all moistened her long-dried heart quietly like spring rain.
I still remember that time when they were on vacation at the beach. The sun was so bright that it was a little dazzling, and the sea breeze with a salty and wet smell blew their hair. Lu Jingchen held her hand and ran on the beach, and his laughter was particularly crisp under the beating of the waves. At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the world, and only the warm palms and bright smile of the man in front of her were left in her heart. There was also that time when she was sick, she lay weakly in bed, her consciousness blurred. And Lu Jingchen had been guarding her bedside, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He personally cooked porridge for her, blew it cool carefully, and then fed it to her mouth one spoonful at a time. The temperature of the porridge was just enough to warm her cold body, and it also made her heart begin to throb differently.
And now, Lu Jingchen's actions made her feel his sincerity. He took her to meet his family, which was a family full of warmth and harmony. His parents were kind and amiable, with their eyes flashing with love for Lu Jingchen and kindness to her. In that family atmosphere, she felt a long-lost sense of belonging for the first time, as if her long-drifting soul had finally found a harbor to dock. Lu Jingchen also showed her the future plans he had carefully made for her. Those detailed plans covered their career development, daily life, and even the education of their future children. The determination and expectation in his eyes let her know that this man really wanted to spend his life with her.
Jiang Ciyou's fingers unconsciously stroked the windowsill, and her heart was in deep struggle. She began to believe in Lu Jingchen's sincerity. Those past memories and his current actions made her heart involuntarily approach him. However, the pain of being betrayed in the past was like a deep scar, lying across her heart, making her unable to completely let go. She was afraid that all this was just a short-lived beauty, and she was afraid of falling into the abyss of pain again and being unable to extricate herself.
She recalled the sweet time she had with her husband, and the vows they made to each other that eventually turned into nothing. The betrayal on their wedding night haunted her like a nightmare. She didn't know if she had the courage to trust someone again, and if she could withstand being hurt again. This contradictory mentality filled her heart with pain and confusion. She didn't know how to make a choice, and she didn't know how to face her deep desire for love and fear of being hurt.
Jiang Ciyou sighed deeply. She knew that she needed time, time to heal the pain of the past, time to completely let go of the doubts in her heart and accept Lu Jingchen again. But she was also afraid that during this long time, more unexpected things would happen, which would put this budding relationship to the test again. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but behind that helplessness, there was a hint of expectation for the future. She hoped that she could take this step bravely, but she was tightly bound by the fear in her heart. Under the moonlight, her figure seemed so lonely, but full of persistence and struggle for love.
