Chapter 402 Endless Attachment and Pain
Jiang Ciyou's feet seemed to be dragged by heavy lead blocks. Every small step forward seemed to exhaust her whole body's strength. Her heart seemed to be pierced by countless fine needles. The pain became more intense with each step, and she could hardly breathe. In her mind, it was as if there was a projector constantly playing the scenes of her time with Lu Jingchen. Those beautiful memories were like surging tides, sweeping towards her wave after wave, drowning her in endless attachment and pain.
When they were on vacation at the beach, the vast blue ocean was like a huge gem, shining with charming brilliance under the sunshine. The sea breeze blew gently, with a salty taste, ruffling their hair. Lu Jingchen stood on the beach, with the blue sea behind him, and his smile was brighter than the sunshine. He took Jiang Ciyou's hand mysteriously and led her to a carefully decorated area. There was a heart-shaped pattern made of shells and flowers, and some exquisite trinkets were placed around it. Lu Jingchen took out a small box from behind, which contained an exquisite shell bracelet. He gently took Jiang Ciyou's hand, his eyes full of affection, and said: "Ciyou, this bracelet is like you, unique and beautiful. I hope you can wear it forever, just like I will always be by your side." At that time, Jiang Ciyou was moved to tears. She felt as if she was the happiest person in the world, tightly surrounded by Lu Jingchen's love.
There is also a scene in a high-end restaurant, where elegant music fills the air and the lights are soft and warm. They sat by the window and could see the bustling streets and flashing neon lights outside. Lu Jingchen was wearing a neat suit, and he looked handsome and charming. He carefully pulled out a chair for Jiang Ciyou, and then he slowly sat down. When the waiter brought the steak, Lu Jingchen took the plate, picked up the knife and fork, his eyes focused and gentle. He skillfully cut the steak into small pieces, each of which was even in size, and then gently pushed the plate in front of Jiang Ciyou and said, "Ciyou, try this steak. This is their signature dish. I think you will like it." His voice was low and magnetic, as beautiful as the music in the restaurant. Jiang Ciyou looked at the steak in front of him, then looked at Lu Jingchen's loving eyes, and his heart was full of sweetness.
However, at this moment, she had to cut off all these beautiful memories with her own hands. She felt like a cruel executioner who had to destroy the things she once cherished most with her own hands. This feeling filled her heart with self-blame and pain, but she felt that she had no other choice.
She finally came to the door of Lu Jingchen's room, which was like a door leading to an unknown fate. Her hand stopped in mid-air, trembling slightly, and she hesitated for a long time before gently pushing the door open.
Lu Jingchen was sitting quietly in front of the window. The sunlight was like a golden thread, shining through the window onto his body, outlining his nearly perfect handsome face. His hair glowed with a light brown luster in the sunlight, and his eyes were deep and bright, as if they contained endless stars. He had a clear outline, a high nose bridge, and beautiful lips. Every part of his face was like a work of art carefully carved by God.
When he heard the door being pushed open, he turned around. The moment he saw Jiang Ciyou, his eyes were immediately filled with surprise. It was a joy from the heart, as if the whole world became brighter because of Jiang Ciyou's appearance. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a charming smile, which was full of love and longing for Jiang Ciyou.
However, Lu Jingchen soon noticed the frosty determination on Jiang Ciyou's face. The smile on his face seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, replaced by a sense of doubt and uneasiness. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He didn't understand why Jiang Ciyou's eyes were so cold. He felt that something bad was about to happen.
Jiang Ciyou stood at the door, her body trembling slightly. She didn't dare to take another step forward, she was afraid that once she got close to Lu Jingchen, she would lose the courage to leave. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she felt as if her throat was choked by something and couldn't make a sound. She could only use all her strength, take a deep breath, and try to calm herself down. But her heart was still like a leaf in the wind, unable to calm down.
Lu Jingchen stood up slowly, his movements were very slow, as if he was afraid of disturbing Jiang Ciyou. He kept his eyes on Jiang Ciyou, trying to find some answers from her eyes. His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He didn't understand why Jiang Ciyou suddenly became so strange. He took a step in the direction of Jiang Ciyou, and each step was full of expectation and uneasiness.
When Jiang Ciyou saw Lu Jingchen walking towards her, she took a step back involuntarily. This small step seemed to have created an insurmountable gap between them. This step was not only a physical distance, but also a spiritual barrier. It symbolized that Jiang Ciyou wanted to completely cut off the connection with Lu Jingchen and bury their former love beyond this distance.
Lu Jingchen's smile froze on his face instantly, and his steps also stopped. His eyes were full of doubts and confusion, as well as deep uneasiness. He didn't understand why Jiang Ciyou retreated and why he refused to approach him. His heart seemed to be pressed down by a huge stone, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Jiang Ciyou avoided Lu Jingchen's gaze. She didn't dare look directly into his eyes full of doubt and hurt. She was afraid that once she saw the pain in Lu Jingchen's eyes, she would change her decision. She lowered her head, looked at her toes, took a deep breath, and then tried to make her voice sound calmer, and said, "Jingchen, I think we should end it."
Lu Jingchen's eyes widened, as if he had heard the most incredible words in the world. His eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't believe that these words came from Jiang Ciyou's mouth. His body shook slightly, as if he was blown by a strong wind, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he felt that his throat was blocked by something and couldn't make a sound.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Ciyou quickly handed him the huge check that he had prepared long ago, as if afraid of being interrupted. The check was particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and it was like a cold symbol, representing Jiang Ciyou's determination to break up their relationship.
Lu Jingchen looked at the check in front of him, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp sword. He felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and an indescribable stabbing pain spread from the bottom of his heart. He felt that this check was like a great insult to him. The feelings between them were so deep and sincere, how could they be measured by money?
His voice was trembling as he asked, "Ciyou, what do you mean by this? What do you think of me?" His eyes were filled with pain and confusion, as well as a hint of anger. He didn't understand why Jiang Ciyou did this, why he wanted to end their relationship in such a way.
Jiang Ciyou still didn't dare to look at Lu Jingchen's eyes. She just lowered her head to avoid his fiery and hurt gaze. Her voice was flat and indifferent, as if she was trying her best to suppress the pain in her heart. She said, "My husband is back. I can't continue with you. This check is my compensation for your company during this time."
Lu Jingchen's face turned as pale as snow, and his lips lost their color and turned purple. His body was shaking violently as if it had been hit by a powerful force. He grabbed Jiang Ciyou's wrist and held it tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush Jiang Ciyou's wrist. His eyes were full of despair and unwillingness. He didn't want Jiang Ciyou to leave. He felt that as long as he held her tightly, he could stop her from leaving him.
