Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 471: Longing is hard to suppress

Jiang Ciyou sat in the small office, the pen in her hand sliding unconsciously on the paper, but her thoughts had already drifted away. The sunlight outside the window sprinkled in through the gaps in the blinds, forming a series of mottled light and shadows, but this warm sunlight could not dispel the haze in her heart.

Since leaving the home that was once full of memories, Jiang Ciyou has devoted herself to work, trying to numb herself with busyness and forget her longing for Lu Jingchen. She comes to the company early every day and works overtime until late at night, as if she is tireless. Her colleagues are all amazed at her professionalism, but they don't know that she is just avoiding the pain deep in her heart.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the longing followed her like a shadow. Whenever it was late at night, Lu Jingchen's smile and figure would involuntarily appear in her mind. She thought of the days when they were on vacation together at the beach, the blue sky and white clouds, the golden beach, and Lu Jingchen's gentle smile, like a beautiful painting, deeply imprinted in her heart. They held hands, ran and played in the waves, feeling the breeze, and at that moment, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

And the moments when they tasted food together, the delicious food and warm atmosphere, she still can't forget. They would sit by the window, watching the pedestrians outside the window, sharing each other's stories and dreams. Lu Jingchen would always pick up food for her carefully, his eyes full of love and tenderness. Those beautiful memories have now become the deepest pain in her heart.

Jiang Ciyou sighed, put down the pen in her hand, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself down. She knew that such yearning would be fruitless. She and Lu Jingchen had already separated, and perhaps they would never meet again. However, her heart could not help but go to him, and the yearning kept surging into her heart like a tide.

She wanted to contact Lu Jingchen to find out how he was doing and whether he was missing her. However, she was afraid of being hurt again. She was afraid that her initiative would be met with Lu Jingchen's indifference and rejection, and that she would fall into the abyss of pain again. She could only bury this longing deep in her heart and wait for the right time.

As the days passed, Jiang Ciyou's longing for her husband did not diminish at all. She became more and more taciturn and no longer participated in social activities as actively as before. She closed herself in her own world and endured the torment of missing her husband alone.

One day, Jiang Ciyou received an important project in the company. This project required her to invest a lot of time and energy, and she knew it was a good opportunity to improve herself. So, she decided to put all her thoughts on this project and temporarily forget about her thoughts about Lu Jingchen.

She began to study the project requirements in depth, develop detailed plans, and communicate and collaborate with team members. She was so busy every day that she didn't even have time to eat. However, she felt fulfilled and satisfied because she knew she was working hard for her future.

However, even in the busy work, Lu Jingchen's figure would appear in her mind from time to time. Once, when she was meeting with a client, she suddenly saw a figure similar to Lu Jingchen. Her heart suddenly tightened and she almost lost her composure. She tried hard to control her emotions and continue the meeting. However, that figure kept lingering in her mind, making it difficult for her to concentrate.

After the meeting, Jiang Ciyou sat alone in the conference room, unable to calm down for a long time. She knew that her longing for Lu Jingchen had penetrated deep into her bones and could not be easily erased. She began to doubt whether her decision was correct, and whether she should bravely contact Lu Jingchen and tell him her true feelings.

However, she thought of their past, the pain and hurt. She was afraid to experience that pain again, afraid that she would fall into the abyss of despair again. She didn't know how to choose, and her heart was full of contradictions and pain.

Just when Jiang Ciyou was in a dilemma, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hello, how are you?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was a little hoarse.

"Hello, is this Ms. Jiang Ciyou?" A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?" Jiang Ciyou asked puzzledly.

"I'm a doctor from XX Hospital. Your friend Lu Jingchen is in our hospital. His condition is very bad now. I hope you can come and see him." The doctor's voice was full of anxiety.

Jiang Ciyou's heart sank suddenly. She couldn't believe her ears. Why was Lu Jingchen in the hospital? What happened to him? Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and her heart was filled with worry and fear.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Jiang Ciyou said without hesitation.

She hung up the phone and left the company in a hurry. She took a taxi to the hospital. Along the way, she was extremely nervous. She didn't know what happened to Lu Jingchen. She just hoped that he would be safe.

When Jiang Ciyou arrived at the hospital, she saw Lu Jingchen lying on the bed, looking pale and haggard. Her heart ached and tears flowed down involuntarily.

She walked to Lu Jingchen's bed and gently held his hand. Lu Jingchen's hand was very cold, which made her feel distressed.

"Jingchen, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of concern and worry.

Lu Jingchen slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Jiang Ciyou, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, his face was still very pale, and he had some difficulty speaking.

"Ciyou, why are you here? I'm fine, just have a slight cold." Lu Jingchen forced a smile.

Jiang Ciyou knew that Lu Jingchen was lying. She learned from the doctor that Lu Jingchen was weak due to overwork and excessive stress and needed to rest. Her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. She knew that Lu Jingchen must have become like this because of her.

"Jingchen, why are you fighting so hard? Don't you know that this will hurt your body?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was filled with tears.

Lu Jingchen sighed softly and held Jiang Ciyou's hand. "Ciyou, I just want to make myself stronger so that I can protect you. I know it's over between us, but I still can't forget you. I've been working hard, hoping to see you again one day and tell you how I really feel."

Jiang Ciyou was touched. She knew that Lu Jingchen's feelings for her were sincere. She also knew that she had never stopped missing Lu Jingchen. However, she still didn't dare to accept his feelings easily. She was afraid of being hurt again.

"Jingchen, it's impossible for us now. There is too much past between us, too much pain and hurt. I don't want to go through that again." Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of helplessness and pain.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Jingchen's eyes, but he did not give up. "Ciyou, I know there are many problems between us, but I believe that as long as we truly love each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties. I am willing to do anything for you as long as you can give me a chance."

Jiang Ciyou's heart was full of contradictions and pain, and she didn't know how to make a choice. She knew that she still had feelings for Lu Jingchen, but she was afraid of being hurt again. She didn't know whether she should take this step bravely and accept Lu Jingchen's feelings again.

Just when Jiang Ciyou was in a dilemma, Lu Jingchen's phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hello, how are you?" Lu Jingchen's voice was a little weak.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lu Jingchen? I am the general manager of XX Company. We are very interested in your project and hope to cooperate with you." A magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Jingchen was pleasantly surprised. He knew that this project was very important to him. If he could cooperate successfully, it would bring him huge profits and reputation. However, his current physical condition did not allow him to start working immediately.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, but I'm not feeling well right now and it may take some time for me to recover. When I get better, we can discuss our cooperation in detail." Lu Jingchen politely declined the other party's invitation.

The other party seemed a little disappointed, but still expressed understanding. "Okay, then you should have a good rest. When you feel better, we will contact you again."

Lu Jingchen hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of helplessness and regret. "Ciyou, I know this opportunity is very important to me, but my current physical condition does not allow me to get back to work right away. I don't want to neglect my health because of work, and I don't want to make you worry."

Jiang Ciyou was touched. She knew that Lu Jingchen was a responsible person who would not sacrifice his health for work. She also knew that Lu Jingchen's feelings for her were sincere and he would not hurt her for his own benefit.

"Jingchen, you should have a good rest. We'll talk about work later. I will always be by your side to take care of you." Jiang Ciyou's voice was full of tenderness and concern.

There was a flash of surprise in Lu Jingchen's eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. "Ciyou, are you really willing to stay with me and take care of me?"

Jiang Ciyou nodded, his eyes full of determination. "Yes, I do. I know there are still many problems between us that need to be solved, but I don't want to escape anymore. I want to face our feelings bravely and give us a chance."

Lu Jingchen's heart was filled with joy and emotion, and he held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly. "Ciyou, thank you. I will take good care of myself and recover as soon as possible. I will also work hard to create better conditions for our future."

Jiang Ciyou smiled happily, knowing that she had made the right choice. She was no longer afraid of the difficulties and challenges ahead, because she knew that as long as Lu Jingchen was by her side, she would not be afraid of anything.

Since then, Jiang Ciyou has come to the hospital every day to take care of Lu Jingchen. They chat together, recall the good times in the past, and plan their future life together. Their feelings gradually warm up and become more firm in the process.

Under Jiang Ciyou's careful care, Lu Jingchen's body recovered quickly. They walked out of the hospital together, bathing in the warm sunshine. They held hands, their hearts filled with happiness and hope.

They know that the road ahead is still long and they will encounter many difficulties and challenges. However, they are no longer afraid because they know that as long as they have each other by their side, they can overcome all difficulties. They believe that their love will become better and better and they will definitely create their own happy future.
