Chapter 376 Lu Jingchen's Busyness and Missing
Chapter 376 Lu Jingchen's Busyness and Missing
Lu Jingchen's life is now filled with various affairs. He is like a tireless spinning top, spinning at high speed on the stage of his career. Every morning, he gets up before the first ray of sunlight completely penetrates the curtains, does a few simple stretching exercises, and then begins to prepare for a day of intense work.
His company is competing for a large-scale commercial project that involves the integration of resources in multiple fields. This is both a huge challenge and an excellent opportunity for Lu Jingchen to demonstrate his abilities. He has to study market trends, analyze competitors' strategies, and coordinate the work among team members. In the conference room, he often sits for hours, discussing project plans with colleagues, with the whiteboard filled with dense numbers, charts, and various creative ideas.
Despite being so busy, Jiang Ciyou's figure was like a ghost, always inadvertently breaking into his thoughts during his work. Every time he took a short break, he would think of her involuntarily. When he picked up a cup of coffee and tried to clear his tired brain, the scene of sitting in a cozy little cafe with Jiang Ciyou would emerge in his mind. At that time, Jiang Ciyou would playfully add sugar to his coffee, and then giggle at his frown.
When negotiating business with partners, he would suddenly lose focus. The partners talked endlessly about the prospects of cooperation and the distribution of benefits, but Lu Jingchen's thoughts drifted to the moment when he and Jiang Ciyou were walking on the park path. The sun shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Jiang Ciyou's hand gently held his arm, and they talked about their dreams for the future. It was a simple and pure happiness.
Lu Jingchen sometimes stood in front of the French window in his office, overlooking the busy city. He silently asked himself in his heart, if Jiang Ciyou saw him now, seeing how hard he worked in his career, would she be proud of him? He imagined Jiang Ciyou looking at him with those gentle and loving eyes, just like in the past. However, every time this thought flashed through his mind, he would fall into a deep loss, because he didn't know where Jiang Ciyou was now, how she was doing, and whether she still thought of him.
He longed to see Jiang Ciyou again. This desire was like a burning flame in his heart, burning more and more. However, he didn't know how to face her. After all, she had left him so decisively and returned to her husband who had betrayed her. He was worried that if he really saw Jiang Ciyou, he would not be able to control his emotions and would ask her why she left, which would make the situation awkward and embarrassing.
Sometimes, when he was walking home alone after working overtime late at night, looking at the flickering street lights, his thoughts surged like a tide. He would wonder if Jiang Ciyou was also somewhere, looking at the same street lights, and occasionally thinking of the nights they had spent together. They had slept in each other's arms on such nights, and the sound of each other's heartbeats seemed to be the most beautiful melody in the world.
Lu Jingchen would also encourage himself in his heart, telling himself to focus on his career, maybe as time goes by, he will slowly forget Jiang Ciyou. However, whenever he achieved a little success or encountered a little setback, the first person he wanted to share or confide in was still Jiang Ciyou. This contradictory psychology made him suffer a lot, he was like a person who lost his way in a dark maze and couldn't find the exit.
At an important business dinner, Lu Jingchen attended as a representative of the company. The dinner was attended by elites from all walks of life, with bright lights and melodious music. He wore an exquisite suit and behaved elegantly, attracting many people's attention. However, his heart was still occupied by Jiang Ciyou. When he saw other couples dancing on the dance floor, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He imagined that if he and Jiang Ciyou were also on the dance floor, he would hold her waist tightly, feel her body temperature, and whisper love words in her ear.
After returning home, Lu Jingchen sat alone on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by silence. He turned on his phone, and the album still contained photos of him and Jiang Ciyou. In the photos, they were smiling brightly, and their eyes were full of love. He flipped through the photos one by one, and each photo was like a key that opened a door deep in his memory, and those beautiful memories came flooding in like a tide. He knew that he could not easily erase Jiang Ciyou from his heart no matter what, and she had been deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.
He thought about actively looking for Jiang Ciyou, but he was afraid that his behavior would cause trouble to her. He didn't know whether Jiang Ciyou's life was back on track and whether she was living a happy life with her husband. He didn't want to be a destroyer and didn't want to hurt Jiang Ciyou again because of his selfishness. This contradictory mentality made him struggle painfully between missing her and restraint.
When he attended business training courses, he would hear the lecturer talk about some cases about the balance between love and career. At this time, his thoughts would drift to Jiang Ciyou again. He thought that if they were still together, he would definitely balance his career and love better and would not let Jiang Ciyou suffer any grievances. He would work hard to give her a happy home, a harbor full of love and warmth.
Lu Jingchen also attends some social events in the industry, where he meets all kinds of women. Some women show obvious affection for him and take the initiative to talk to him and try to get close to him. However, he always responds politely and then silently compares them with Jiang Ciyou in his heart. In his eyes, those women have their own charms, but they do not have the unique temperament of Jiang Ciyou. Jiang Ciyou's beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in her strength, kindness and inner tenderness.
During the company's team building activities, everyone went outdoors for expansion training. While climbing the mountain, Lu Jingchen looked at the magnificent scenery in front of him, but thought in his heart that it would be nice if Jiang Ciyou was by his side. He imagined Jiang Ciyou excitedly pointing at the peaks in the distance, with curiosity and joy in her eyes. He would hold her hand, walk through the rugged mountain road together, and enjoy the beautiful sunset together on the top of the mountain.
Lu Jingchen knew that his longing had become a part of his life. Whether in busy work or in his spare time, Jiang Ciyou's shadow was always everywhere. He didn't know how long this situation would last, nor did he know whether he could finally let her go or win her heart back. He only knew that in this world full of challenges and opportunities, there was always a place in his heart for Jiang Ciyou, a place that no one could replace.
