Chapter 544 Lu Jingchen's Thoughts
Looking at the backs of Jiang Ciyou and her husband leaving, Lu Jingchen felt a sense of loss. He stood there blankly, his eyes full of loneliness, and his originally bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze. He still held the unfinished glass of wine in his hand, his fingers tightened unconsciously, and the joints turned white due to the force.
He kept asking himself in his heart, why did he still care about her so much? She had abandoned him before, but his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by her and he couldn't break free. He said to himself: "Jiang Ciyou, what magic do you have that makes me so fascinated?" There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his voice. In this noisy banquet, he was the only one who could hear the cry in his heart.
Lu Jingchen turned around and walked to a relatively quiet corner, leaning against the wall, but his eyes never left Jiang Ciyou's direction. He watched her moving among the crowd and talking to others, and every smile and every look touched his heart. He thought of every bit of their time together, and those beautiful times unfolded before his eyes like a scroll.
They watched the sunrise and sunset together at the beach. The golden sunlight shone on them. Jiang Ciyou's smile was as bright as the sun, and her eyes were full of longing for the future. They walked hand in hand on the beach, leaving a trail of footprints, as if they were the mark of their love. The sea breeze gently blew her hair, and her beautiful appearance was deeply engraved in his heart.
When they were tasting food together in the streets and alleys, they would be as happy as a child for a bowl of delicious snacks. Jiang Ciyou would close his eyes, savor the taste of the food, and then open his eyes with satisfaction to share the joy with him. They were in a small shop, squeezed around a small table, but felt like they owned the whole world. Those ordinary and beautiful moments have now become the most precious memories in his heart.
Lu Jingchen took a big gulp of wine. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart. He knew that he couldn't just give up like that. He wanted Jiang Ciyou to come back to him. He decided to find a chance to have a good talk with Jiang Ciyou and let her know that his feelings had never changed.
He began to look for Jiang Ciyou at the banquet. Every time he saw her talking to someone else, a trace of jealousy would surge in his heart. The jealousy was like a poisonous snake, entwining in his heart. He watched her smiling and talking to a man, and the jealousy in his heart instantly erupted. He clenched his fists, tried to control his emotions, and told himself to stay calm.
"Why can she laugh so happily with others? Has she forgotten everything we had?" Lu Jingchen thought to himself, with a trace of pain in his eyes. He kept adjusting his breathing, trying to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't be impulsive at this time, otherwise it would only push Jiang Ciyou further away.
When Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou's husband being attentive to her, he was filled with disgust. He remembered that all the hurt Jiang Ciyou had suffered was caused by this man. How could he come back to her so easily and pretend that nothing had happened? A trace of determination flashed in Lu Jingchen's eyes. He must let Jiang Ciyou see the true face of this man and let her know that he is the one who can really make her happy.
As he thought about it, he continued to look for opportunities to get close to Jiang Ciyou at the banquet. He saw Jiang Ciyou go to get food alone, so he immediately followed her. He walked up to her and whispered, "Ciyou, long time no see." There was a hint of tenderness in his voice, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Jiang Ciyou was startled by the sudden appearance of Lu Jingchen, and the plate in her hand almost fell to the ground. She calmed down and said, "Lu Jingchen, why are you here again?" There was a hint of surprise and vigilance in her voice, and a hint of panic in her eyes.
Lu Jingchen looked into Jiang Ciyou's eyes and said seriously, "I just want to talk to you. Can we find a quiet place to talk?" His eyes revealed sincerity and a hint of desire.
Jiang Ciyou hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm with my husband now, so it's not very convenient." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice and a hint of confusion in her eyes.
After hearing this, Lu Jingchen felt disappointed, but he still didn't give up. He said, "Okay, we'll talk again when you have time. But, Ciyou, you have to know that my feelings for you are real, and I have never forgotten you." There was a hint of determination in his voice and his eyes were full of affection.
Jiang Ciyou didn't answer. She lowered her head and left in a hurry. Lu Jingchen looked at her back, his heart full of helplessness and pain. He knew that he still had a long way to go before he could win Jiang Ciyou's heart again.
Lu Jingchen returned to his seat and continued to drink. His mind was full of thoughts, he was thinking about how to make Jiang Ciyou accept him again. He thought of the good times they had spent together, those memories were the most precious treasures in his heart. He decided to use these memories to impress Jiang Ciyou and let her know how deep their feelings were.
He saw Jiang Ciyou and her husband talking to other guests. Although she was smiling, her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue. Lu Jingchen felt distressed. He knew that Jiang Ciyou was not happy in this marriage. He was more determined to help Jiang Ciyou get rid of her current predicament and find her own happiness again.
Just then, a friend came over, patted Lu Jingchen on the shoulder, and said, "Lu Jingchen, why are you standing here in a daze alone? Today is the birthday party of the richest man, you should communicate more with everyone."
Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired." There was a hint of bitterness in his smile and a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
The friend looked at Lu Jingchen and said, "Are you worried about something? You don't look right today."
Lu Jingchen sighed and said, "It's nothing, I just met some old friends and remembered some past events." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice and a hint of memories in his eyes.
The friend patted Lu Jingchen on the shoulder and said, "Let the past be the past. People should always look forward. You are the son of the richest man now, and you have a bright future waiting for you."
Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "I know, thank you for your concern. I will seize this opportunity and make myself better." There was a hint of determination in his eyes. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he better protect Jiang Ciyou.
Lu Jingchen chatted with his friend for a while, and then began to look for Jiang Ciyou again. He saw Jiang Ciyou went to the balcony alone to get some fresh air, and he immediately followed her. He walked up to Jiang Ciyou and whispered, "We meet again. We are really destined to meet." There was a hint of surprise in his voice, like a child who had found his favorite toy.
Jiang Ciyou was startled by Lu Jingchen's sudden appearance. She calmed herself down and said, "Why are you here too?" There was a hint of surprise and vigilance in her voice.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou and said seriously, "I want to talk to you alone. There are some things I have always wanted to say to you." His eyes revealed sincerity and a hint of expectation.
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen nervously and said, "What do you want to say?" Her heartbeat began to speed up again. She didn't know what Lu Jingchen would say.
Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Ciyou, I know we have had a lot of unpleasant past, but my feelings for you are real. I fell in love with you from the first time we met. Although you once treated me as a gigolo, I don't care because I can feel your inner pain and loneliness. I want to take care of you and make you happy." He said these words in one breath, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ciyou, hoping to see a hint of response on her face.
Jiang Ciyou was very moved by Lu Jingchen's words, but she was also very conflicted. She didn't know if she could still trust Lu Jingchen, after all, there had been so many ups and downs between them. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then said: "Lu Jingchen, I am very grateful for what you said to me, but we can't go back. I have my own life now, my husband..." There was a hint of helplessness and hesitation in her voice.
Lu Jingchen interrupted her: "Do you really love your husband? Or are you just with him because of responsibility and obligation? You can deceive others but not your own heart." There was a hint of urgency in his words. He hoped that Jiang Ciyu could face up to his feelings.
Jiang Ciyou was struck by Lu Jingchen's words, and her eyes were slightly moist. She knew that she no longer loved her husband, and was only with him out of habit and helplessness. But she was afraid of being hurt again, and did not dare to accept Lu Jingchen's feelings easily. She whispered: "Lu Jingchen, I'm afraid... I'm afraid of being hurt again."
Lu Jingchen looked into Jiang Ciyou's eyes and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I will prove my sincerity to you with my actions. Give me a chance, okay?" His eyes were full of expectation and sincerity.
Jiang Ciyou nodded gently without saying anything. She was confused and didn't know how to face Lu Jingchen, nor did she know what would happen between them.
When Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou nod, he was delighted. He knew that he had taken the first step. Although Jiang Ciyou had not yet completely accepted him, at least she was willing to give him a chance. He decided to seize this opportunity and prove his sincerity with his actions.
He and Jiang Ciyou chatted on the balcony for a while, and then returned to the banquet hall together. Their appearance attracted the attention of some people, especially Jiang Ciyou's husband. When he saw Lu Jingchen and Jiang Ciyou coming back together, he was filled with jealousy and anger. He glared at Lu Jingchen fiercely, then walked to Jiang Ciyou and said, "Ciyou, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Jiang Ciyou glanced at her husband and said, "I went to the balcony to get some fresh air and met Lu Jingchen. We chatted for a while." Her voice was calm, and there was no longer the panic in her eyes.
The husband was even more dissatisfied after hearing this. He said, "Stay away from him in the future. He is not a good person." His voice was so loud that everyone around looked over.
When Lu Jingchen heard what Jiang Ciyou's husband said, he sneered and said, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? How did you treat Ciyou in the first place? Do you think she will forgive you if you come back now?" His words were full of sarcasm and his eyes revealed disgust.
Jiang Ciyou's husband was speechless after being told this by Lu Jingchen. He was so angry that he raised his fist to hit Lu Jingchen. However, Lu Jingchen dodged easily and said coldly, "You'd better not be impulsive. This is the birthday party of the richest man. If you make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous." There was a warning in his eyes, which made Jiang Ciyou's husband dare not act rashly.
Jiang Ciyou was disappointed when she saw her husband's behavior. She held her husband's hand and said, "Stop making trouble, let's go." There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.
The husband looked at Jiang Ciyou, then at Lu Jingchen, and then followed Jiang Ciyou out of the banquet hall. Lu Jingchen looked at their backs, his heart filled with helplessness and pain. He knew that there were still many obstacles between him and Jiang Ciyou that needed to be overcome, but he would not give up, and he would keep working hard until she came back to him.
The author says:
In this chapter, we deeply portray Lu Jingchen's inner world and show his complex and deep feelings for Jiang Ciyou. His various performances at the banquet, such as jealousy, determination, helplessness, etc., all stem from his love for Jiang Ciyou. At the same time, Jiang Ciyou's reaction also allows us to see her inner entanglement and struggle. The emotional entanglement between them is more prominent in this special occasion, adding more tension and drama to the development of the story. I hope that readers can feel the collision of emotions between them in this chapter, and I also look forward to everyone continuing to pay attention to their story to see if they can finally overcome difficulties and come together.
