Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 414: Inner struggle and guilt in the farewell taxi

After Jiang Ciyou walked out of the house, the door slowly closed behind her, making a dull sound, just like her heavy mood at the moment. She stood on the street, the cold wind whistled past, messing up her hair, but it couldn't blow away the entanglement and pain in her heart. She raised her hand and tried to smooth her hair, but her fingers were shaking slightly.

Soon, a taxi slowly drove over, and Jiang Ciyou hurriedly reached out to stop it as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She opened the door and sat in the back seat. She seemed to have lost her support and collapsed on the seat. The driver looked at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, where are you going?" Jiang Ciyou was silent for a while before slowly telling her the address of her husband's home.

The car started, and the scenery outside the window began to recede. Jiang Ciyou stared out the window with a dull look, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. It was as if there were two little people arguing fiercely in her mind.

A voice said: "You did the right thing. Your husband was your support. You had so many good memories. You can't abandon him when he comes back. This is morality and responsibility."

Another voice retorted, "But your feelings for Lu Jingchen are real. He loves you so much, how can you just leave him like this? You will hurt him and regret it if you do this."

Her heart was confused by these two voices. She remembered Lu Jingchen's affectionate eyes. Every time he looked at her, it was as if she was the most precious baby in the world. When they were on vacation at the beach, the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on them. Lu Jingchen whispered in her ear: "Ciyou, you are as beautiful as the sunshine in the morning. I want to be with you forever." At that time, her heart was full of sweetness and happiness. In the high-end restaurant, Lu Jingchen would always carefully cut the steak for her, and then hand it to her with a gentle smile, which was full of love.

However, now she has to go back to her husband. Her husband, the one who abandoned her on their wedding night. Although he is back now and says he wants to start over, Jiang Ciyou knows that there is an irreparable rift between their relationship. She doesn't know why she chose to come back. Is it because of the memories of the past? Or is it because of the unwillingness in her heart, wanting to prove that she can regain what she once lost?

She recalled the desperate look in Lu Jingchen's eyes when she left, a look of helplessness as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. She felt like an executioner, ruthlessly severing the emotional bond between them. She didn't know what Lu Jingchen was doing now, whether he was still in that room, bearing the pain of being abandoned alone. How she wished she could go back and hug him, telling him how much she was reluctant to let him go, but she knew she couldn't do that.

Jiang Ciyou couldn't hold back her tears, which fell drop by drop on the back of her hand. She bit her lips, trying not to cry out loud. She didn't want the driver to notice her abnormality, but the pain in her heart was like a surging tide, and she couldn't suppress it.

The taxi was shuttling on the road, passing by the street they had walked together. The sign at the door of the coffee shop they often went to was still eye-catching. Jiang Ciyou remembered that Lu Jingchen liked to drink the latte there the most. He would order a cappuccino for her every time, and then they would sit by the window and share each other's joys and sorrows. There was also the park where they used to walk hand in hand, and Lu Jingchen would suddenly pick a small flower and put it in her hair, saying that she was the most beautiful princess.

These memories were like knives, stabbing her heart. She began to regret her decision, and she felt that she was too impulsive. However, she felt that there was no turning back. She had returned to her husband, and she could not hurt him again, nor could she let herself fall into more chaotic emotional entanglements.

Jiang Ciyou closed her eyes, trying to get rid of all these memories from her mind. However, the more she tried to forget, the clearer they became. Lu Jingchen's face kept appearing in her mind, his handsome features, his smile, his eyes. She felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was unbearable.

The taxi was still driving, getting closer and closer to her husband's home. Jiang Ciyou knew that once she reached her destination, she would really have to say goodbye to her past life. She didn't know if she could adapt to life without Lu Jingchen, and she didn't know if she could fall in love with her husband again. She only knew that her heart was filled with guilt and reluctance, and this feeling almost overwhelmed her.

She silently said to Lu Jingchen in her heart: "Jingchen, I'm sorry. I hope you can forget me as soon as possible and start a new life. You are a good person and deserve a better love." However, she also knew how slim this hope was. Lu Jingchen's love for her was so deep that her sudden departure was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

Jiang Ciyou's mood became heavier and heavier. She felt like she had walked into a dark abyss and couldn't find a way out. She didn't know what her future would be like. She only knew that her decision would change the fate of many people, including her own.

The taxi finally stopped at the door of her husband's house. Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her face. She paid the fare and slowly got out of the car. She stood at the door, looking at the familiar yet strange door, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that once she pushed open this door, it meant that she had to completely let go of Lu Jingchen and start a new life. But, can she really do it?
