Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 418: Sleepless Nights after Returning

Night fell over her husband's home. Jiang Ciyou lay on the strange yet familiar bed. Everything around her was quiet and a little depressing. Her thoughts were like a wild horse running wildly in her mind, and the end of every thought pointed to Lu Jingchen.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, but Lu Jingchen's face appeared more and more clearly in front of her. It was when they were on vacation at the beach. The early morning sun shone on the beach, and Lu Jingchen pulled her to the sea excitedly like a child. The waves came one after another, soaking their clothes, but they didn't care, just laughed and played to their heart's content. Lu Jingchen also spelled out her name with shells on the beach, surrounded by little hearts, and his bright smile was more dazzling than the sun.

Another time, in a high-end restaurant, the soft light shone on them, as if creating a world that belonged only to the two of them. Lu Jingchen picked up the knife elegantly and gently cut the steak for her, and every move was full of love. While cutting, he told her about the funny things that happened that day, and made her laugh from time to time. Their eyes met, and at that moment, she felt as if she was the happiest person in the world.

But now, she was lying next to her husband, the man who had brought her endless pain, but because of her so-called past and conscience, she abandoned Lu Jingchen, who truly loved her. She began to reflect on her decision. Was it really the right one? She felt as if she was entangled by countless threads. The more she struggled, the deeper she got into it, and she walked into a dead end that seemed to have no way out.

She turned over and looked at her husband's back. This once familiar back now made her feel so strange. She remembered that they had a good time before their wedding, and he was as gentle and considerate as Lu Jingchen. However, the betrayal on the wedding night was like an unhealable wound, deeply engraved in her heart. She thought she could accept this man again for the good old days and the love she had in the past, but now she realized that once some things are broken, they can never be restored to their original state even if they are put together.

She turned back to her original position and stared at the ceiling in a daze. She kept comparing her husband and Lu Jingchen in her mind. Her husband was her former lover. They had so many memories, common friends, and a common life trajectory. However, he betrayed her at the most important moment and chose to elope with another woman. As for Lu Jingchen, he walked into her life when she was in the most pain. He used his love to heal her wounds bit by bit and gave her countless warmth and happiness. He never hurt her and always loved her wholeheartedly.

She was struggling painfully. On the one hand, she felt that she couldn't just abandon her husband, after all, they had so much in the past; on the other hand, she loved Lu Jingchen deeply, and leaving him was like losing her soul. She didn't know how to balance these conflicting emotions, and didn't know how to face her current life.

She began to recall every detail of her time with Lu Jingchen. When they went to the movies together, Lu Jingchen would buy her favorite popcorn and drinks in advance, and would carefully prepare a small blanket for her, fearing that she would catch a cold in the cinema. After each movie, they would discuss the plot together, and Lu Jingchen would always come up with some unique insights that gave her a deeper understanding of the movie.

When they went shopping together, Lu Jingchen always held her hand tightly, fearing that she would get lost in the crowd. He would patiently accompany her to try on every piece of clothing, and no matter whether she looked good in it or not, he would sincerely praise her and say that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. And when she picked clothes for him, he would also let her dress up like an obedient child.

Her tears flowed down unconsciously, soaking the pillow. She felt as if her heart was being gnawed by countless ants, and the pain was unbearable. She didn't know why she tortured herself like this, why she made such a painful decision. She wanted to go back to Lu Jingchen, but she was afraid to face him, afraid that her behavior had deeply hurt him, and afraid that he would no longer accept her.

She imagined countless possible situations in her mind. If she left her husband now and returned to Lu Jingchen, would Lu Jingchen forgive her? Could they still live happily as before? Or was Lu Jingchen completely disappointed in her and never wanted to see her again? And if she continued to stay with her husband, could she endure this inner torment? Could she forget Lu Jingchen and fall in love with her husband again?

Her thoughts became more and more confused, and she felt like her head was about to explode. She tried to stop herself from thinking, but those thoughts kept coming like a tide. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this long night would pass quickly, and that tomorrow's sunshine would bring her some inspiration and allow her to find a way out of this predicament.

She closed her eyes again, trying to fall asleep. However, every time she closed her eyes, Lu Jingchen's figure would appear more clearly in front of her. She could even hear his voice, whispering his love in her ear, and those gentle words were like knives, piercing her heart. Her body began to tremble slightly, and she hugged the quilt tightly, trying to give herself some warmth, but the coldness in her heart could not be dispelled.

Time passed slowly in the torment of pain, and the night outside the window was still dark. Jiang Ciyou felt as if she was in a dark abyss, unable to find a way out, and could only wander in endless pain and confusion. She didn't know what her future would be like, and didn't know if she could make the right choice. She only knew that this night, she would spend in painful thoughts and regrets.
