Chapter 360 Start a new life
Jiang Ciyou dragged her heavy steps and slowly stepped into the door of the home that was once familiar but now seemed a little strange. Her husband came up to her attentively, with a flattering smile on his face, took the bag from her hand, and muttered some caring words. However, Jiang Ciyou just nodded slightly, with a hint of confusion and indifference in her eyes.
In this home that was once full of warm memories, every corner seemed to tell stories of the past. The sofa in the living room, where they once sat together, watching TV and sharing the joys and sorrows of life; the wedding photo hanging on the wall, in which the two of them smiled so brightly, but now this smile seemed full of irony to Jiang Ciyou. She walked silently to the sofa and sat down, and her husband hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea and sat beside her.
Jiang Ciyou's thoughts drifted away, and she thought of the days she spent with Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen always created some small surprises for her when she wasn't expecting it, such as a bouquet of flowers that suddenly appeared on her desk, or a carefully planned short trip. His smile was as warm as the sun, and his eyes were filled with only doting and love for her. But now, the husband sitting next to her seemed to be separated by an insurmountable gap, even though he was so close.
At dinner, her husband carefully prepared a table of sumptuous dishes, all of which were Jiang Ciyou's favorites. He kept picking up dishes for Jiang Ciyou, trying to create a warm atmosphere. But Jiang Ciyou found the food tasteless, and every bite of food seemed to be stuck in her throat, difficult to swallow. She mechanically responded to her husband's words, but she was thinking about Lu Jingchen in her heart. Lu Jingchen knew all her preferences, and he would cook for her himself. Although his cooking skills were not superb, his full love made the food extremely delicious.
As night fell, Jiang Ciyou lay in bed, with the sound of her husband's breathing beside her. But she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She closed her eyes, and all she could think of was Lu Jingchen. She remembered them walking on the beach together, the sea breeze gently brushing her face, and Lu Jingchen holding her hand tightly. At that moment, she felt extremely relieved and happy. But now, she could only turn her back to her husband, her heart full of regret.
During the day, Jiang Ciyou was like a puppet without a soul, doing some daily things. She tidied the room and saw some items that she and her husband once shared, without any ripples in her heart. She began to try to do some work, but she was always absent-minded and made frequent mistakes. Her husband noticed her strangeness and tried to comfort her and chat with her about some light topics, but Jiang Ciyou just responded perfunctorily.
As time went by, Jiang Ciyou realized more and more clearly that she had made a wrong decision. She began to miss Lu Jingchen's company, his hugs, and his laughter. She often became dazed and immersed in her thoughts of Lu Jingchen. She tried to make herself fall in love with her husband again and tried to recall the good times they had, but those memories seemed to be overshadowed and could not rekindle the flame of love in her heart.
The husband also felt the change in Jiang Ciyou. He knew that his betrayal had left a deep scar between them. He began to reflect on his past behavior and realized how foolish it was to abandon Jiang Ciyou for the sake of temporary benefits. He saw the pain that Jiang Ciyou was in now and felt full of guilt. So he decided to cherish Jiang Ciyou more and work hard to make up for his past mistakes.
He began to take better care of Jiang Ciyou's life, getting up early every day to prepare breakfast for her and bringing her a bouquet of flowers when he got home from get off work. He would take the initiative to do housework to try to make Jiang Ciyou feel more relaxed. He no longer mentioned the unpleasantness of the past, but tried to create a positive family atmosphere. However, his efforts seemed like an invisible pressure to Jiang Ciyou, making it even more difficult for her to bear.
Jiang Ciyou knew that she had fallen into a very embarrassing situation. She wanted to escape from this seemingly peaceful but contradictory home, but she didn't know how to face Lu Jingchen. She felt that she had hurt Lu Jingchen deeply and had no right to return to him. She was sinking deeper and deeper into this painful vortex, spending every day in regret and helplessness.
She began to become silent and rarely took the initiative to communicate with her husband. She spent more time thinking alone, trying to find a way to resolve her inner conflict. She thought about leaving the family and starting her life over, but she was afraid of hurting her husband and facing an unknown future. She struggled in this dilemma and could not find a way out.
One day, when Jiang Ciyou was tidying up her study, she found an old photo album. The album recorded the process of her and her husband from meeting to falling in love. Looking at those photos, she felt a complicated emotion in her heart. They were so young, so energetic, and full of beautiful visions for the future. She remembered the scene of their first date, which was in a park. Her husband bought her an ice cream. They sat on a bench, watching people coming and going in the park, and their laughter echoed in their ears. However, all these beautiful memories were broken by the betrayal on the wedding night. She gently closed the album, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to make a change, both for herself and for the people around her. She began to re-examine her life and think about what she really wanted. She realized that love is not just about responsibilities and obligations, but more importantly, it is about inner feelings. She couldn't give up her right to pursue happiness because of a wrong decision.
However, it was not easy to take this step. She needed to face many problems, the first of which was how to confess her thoughts to her husband. She knew that this would cause great harm to her husband, but she also understood that if she continued like this, it would be a torture for both of them. She repeatedly weighed her words in her mind, trying to find the most gentle way to express her thoughts.
At the same time, she was also thinking about how to face Lu Jingchen again. She knew that the harm she had done to Lu Jingchen was huge, but she still hoped to have a chance to make up for her mistakes. She didn't know whether Lu Jingchen was still willing to accept her, nor did she know whether their relationship could return to the past. But she decided that no matter what the result was, she would bravely try.
In this new beginning, Jiang Ciyou faces huge challenges and difficulties. Her heart is full of contradictions and pain, but she also sees a glimmer of hope. She knows that only by bravely facing her heart can she find the happiness that truly belongs to her. She begins to slowly accumulate courage and prepare to meet the upcoming changes.
