Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 646 Testing Lu Jingchen

Jiang Ciyou has been tortured by her inner doubts these days and has been unable to sleep or eat. She knows that if she doesn't find out Lu Jingchen's true thoughts, this relationship will be like walking in the fog and may fall into unknown danger at any time. So, on a seemingly ordinary afternoon, Jiang Ciyou made careful preparations and decided to test Lu Jingchen.

She chose a quiet coffee shop, arrived early, and sat in a corner, so that she could observe the movement at the door while being relatively hidden. Jiang Ciyou tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her eyes drifted to the door from time to time, and she repeatedly rehearsed the questions she would ask Lu Jingchen in a while.

Not long after, Lu Jingchen showed up on time. He walked into the cafe with steady steps, quickly scanned the store, and soon found Jiang Ciyou. A gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked quickly towards her.

"Ciyou, have you been waiting for a long time?" Lu Jingchen asked softly, pulling out a chair and sitting down, his eyes full of concern.

Jiang Ciyou shook his head slightly, forced a smile and said, "No, I just got here too."

After they ordered coffee, they fell into a brief silence. Jiang Ciyou took a sip of coffee, but her eyes were secretly observing Lu Jingchen. She saw that Lu Jingchen was wearing a simple white shirt today, with the delicate buttons on the cuffs gleaming in the sun, and his hair was neatly combed. He exuded a mature, steady and elegant temperament. But at this moment, Jiang Ciyou had no time to appreciate these, her mind was all on the test that was about to begin.

Finally, Jiang Ciyou put down his coffee cup, cleared his throat, and said casually, "Jingchen, I've heard some rumors about you recently. It's said that you have dealings with some very powerful business groups, and are involved in some unusual transactions. Is this true?"

When Lu Jingchen heard this, he paused for a moment as he was about to pick up his cup of coffee. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He put down his coffee cup, crossed his hands on the table, stared into Jiang Ciyou's eyes, and said seriously, "Ciyou, where did you hear these false rumors? I can assure you that everything I do is legal and legitimate business dealings."

Jiang Ciyou noticed Lu Jingchen's strange behavior at that moment, and became even more suspicious. She frowned slightly and continued, "But these rumors are very credible, saying that you are involved with a mysterious organization, and that organization has a bad reputation in the business world. I don't want to get into any trouble without knowing what's going on. Can you tell me the truth?"

Lu Jingchen's brows also wrinkled slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and worry. He stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Jiang Ciyou's hand, but Jiang Ciyou subconsciously retracted it. Lu Jingchen's hand paused in the air, then slowly put it down, and said softly: "Ciyou, you know that my feelings for you are real. Those so-called rumors are all rumors fabricated by people with ulterior motives, with the purpose of destroying the relationship between us. How could I have anything to do with such an organization? You have to believe me."

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's sincere expression and felt a little shaken, but she still refused to believe it easily. She thought of the scattered and mysterious information she had collected and felt that things were not that simple.

"Then why do you never tell me in detail about your family and your past? Every time I ask, you are always vague. If you really love me, why can't you be honest with me?" Jiang Ciyou's tone was questioning.

Lu Jingchen sighed deeply, leaning back in his chair, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue. "Ciyou, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but my family background is complicated, and I'm worried that you will feel pressured after you know it. In addition, some things in the past were not pleasant for me, and I don't want those bad memories to affect our current relationship. But since you want to know so much, I can tell you slowly."

Jiang Ciyou stared at Lu Jingchen's eyes, trying to find a flaw in his expression. She found that although Lu Jingchen's eyes were sincere, they seemed to hide something deeper, which made her even more uneasy.

"Then tell me now, I want to know everything." Jiang Ciyou's tone became firm.

Lu Jingchen was silent for a moment, then began to talk about his family. He said that his family did have a certain status and influence in the business world, but because of this, they also faced calculations and attacks from many competitors. His childhood was not as carefree as other children, but was spent in various disputes over business interests. His parents often ignored his feelings for the sake of the family's business, which made him learn to be independent and strong since he was a child.

Jiang Ciyou listened quietly and felt some sympathy for Lu Jingchen's life experience, but she still did not forget her purpose.

"What about those business transactions you participated in before? Why do they look so mysterious?" Jiang Ciyou continued to ask.

Lu Jingchen smiled helplessly and explained, "In the business world, some transactions need to be kept confidential. This is a normal business practice and does not mean there are any secrets that cannot be revealed. Moreover, everything I do is to make the family business develop better and for our future."

Although Jiang Ciyou listened to Lu Jingchen's explanation, her doubts were not completely eliminated. She always felt that Lu Jingchen was still hiding something in some aspects, and she didn't know how to truly understand this man's inner world.

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere became a little heavy and depressing. Jiang Ciyou's probing did not get the exact answer she wanted, but made her more confused and bewildered.

After leaving the cafe, Lu Jingchen suggested going for a walk. Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. They walked slowly along the path by the river, and the breeze blew gently, blowing Jiang Ciyou's hair. Lu Jingchen occasionally turned his head to look at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of love and worry, but Jiang Ciyou was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice these.

"Ciyou, have you been worried about something recently? I feel like you are a little distant from me." Lu Jingchen broke the silence and said softly.

Jiang Ciyou stopped and looked at Lu Jingchen. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I just feel like there seems to be some distance between us. I don't want our relationship to be built on lies and concealment."

Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's shoulders and said seriously: "Ciyou, I promise you that I will be honest with you. As long as you are willing to believe me and give me some time, I will let you see my sincerity."

Jiang Ciyou lowered her head slightly, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know whether she should believe what Lu Jingchen said. She was afraid that she would be hurt again, but she couldn't bear to give up this relationship.

In the following days, Jiang Ciyou's probing did not stop. She would casually ask Lu Jingchen about some details of his life and work and observe his reaction. She would also deliberately bring up some topics related to the mysterious organization in front of Lu Jingchen to see how his expression changed. However, Lu Jingchen was able to respond skillfully every time, which made Jiang Ciyou feel that he was even more unfathomable.

Once, Jiang Ciyou found a document in Lu Jingchen's study, which contained some business terms and unfamiliar company names that she couldn't understand. When she picked up the document and prepared to take a closer look, Lu Jingchen suddenly walked in.

"Ciyou, what are you looking at?" There was a hint of nervousness in Lu Jingchen's voice.

Jiang Ciyou raised his head, looked at Lu Jingchen and said, "What is this document? Why does it look so mysterious?"

Lu Jingchen walked over, gently took the document from Jiang Ciyou, and said with a smile: "These are just some internal company information, nothing important. If you are interested, I can explain it to you slowly later."

Jiang Ciyou looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, her heart full of suspicion. She felt that Lu Jingchen was deliberately concealing the true content of the document, which once again hit her trust in him.

As time goes by, Jiang Ciyou's temptations become more and more frequent, and the relationship between the two becomes more and more tense. Lu Jingchen feels Jiang Ciyou's distrust, and he is very painful, but he doesn't know how to make Jiang Ciyou really believe in him. Jiang Ciyou is wavering between trust and suspicion. She doesn't know where the future of this relationship lies, nor does she know whether she can truly understand Lu Jingchen's true identity and the secrets behind him.

During an argument, Jiang Ciyou finally couldn't help but explode.

"Lu Jingchen, how many things are you hiding from me? I feel like a fool, being kept in the dark by you. If you can't be completely honest with me, there is no need for us to continue." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were glistening with tears and his voice was trembling a little.

Seeing Jiang Ciyou's sad face, Lu Jingchen felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that his concealment had hurt Jiang Ciyou, but he also had his own difficulties.

"Ciyou, I'm not hiding this from you on purpose. There are some things I can't tell you right now, but please believe me, this is all to protect you. When the time is right, I will tell you everything." Lu Jingchen's voice was full of helplessness and sincerity.

Jiang Ciyou sneered and said, "Protect me? I think you are doing this to protect yourself. How do I know if you are using me?"

Lu Jingchen said anxiously: "Ciyou, how can you think like this? I really love you, and everything I do is for our future."

But at this time, Jiang Ciyou was already overwhelmed by anger and suspicion, and she simply could not listen to Lu Jingchen's explanation. She turned and left home, leaving Lu Jingchen standing there alone, his heart full of pain and helplessness.

Jiang Ciyou walked on the street, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know where to go. Her feelings for Lu Jingchen made it hard for her to give up easily, but his concealment made it hard for her to let go. She recalled her experience of being betrayed by her husband, and the painful feeling came over her again. She was afraid that she would fall into the same trap again.

After Jiang Ciyou left, Lu Jingchen fell into deep self-blame and regret. He knew that his actions had hurt Jiang Ciyou, so he decided to solve his problems as soon as possible, confess everything to Jiang Ciyou, and win back her trust and love.

In the following days, Lu Jingchen accelerated the pace of investigation into the mysterious organization, hoping to uncover the truth as soon as possible so that Jiang Ciyou would no longer be troubled. At the same time, he kept sending messages and calling Jiang Ciyou to apologize to her and express his love and sincerity, but Jiang Ciyou never responded.

Jiang Ciyou hid in her friend's house alone, quietly thinking about her relationship with Lu Jingchen. She recalled every little bit of their time together, and those beautiful memories filled her heart with warmth, but doubts and fears made her unable to make up her mind to return to Lu Jingchen. She knew that she needed time to think calmly, and she also needed Lu Jingchen to prove his sincerity with practical actions.

In this way, the two spent a difficult time in pain and struggle, and their feelings also faced unprecedented tests. The shadow of the mysterious organization still looms over their heads, which may bring them greater crisis at any time.
