Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 371 Jiang Ciyou's Quiet Departure

Jiang Ciyou woke up in the morning when she decided to leave her husband. Everything around her was familiar yet strange. She looked at the ceiling with mixed feelings. The past experiences with her husband played in her mind like a slide show. She knew that today was the day she would say goodbye to this disappointing marriage.

She slowly stood up, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing something. The room was filled with an oppressive silence. She took a deep breath and began to pack her things. She opened the closet and looked at the clothes that she had bought with great joy, but now she felt only dull. She picked them one by one, only taking some simple, necessary clothes. Every time she picked up a piece, a complex emotion surged in her heart, with pity for her past self and worry about the unknown future.

She walked to the dressing table again and picked up some commonly used cosmetics and jewelry. Some of those jewelry were dowries when she got married. They once represented beautiful aspirations, but now they seem like a kind of irony. She gently put them into her bag, and her fingers accidentally touched the wedding ring. She hesitated for a moment, but finally took off the wedding ring and placed it on the dressing table. This small action seemed to be her final farewell ceremony to this marriage. Her hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were a little wet.

While packing, her thoughts kept drifting back to the days after she reunited with her husband. When she first came back, she thought she could accept him again, after all, there were so many memories. However, those memories became vulnerable under the impact of reality. Her husband was still busy with his career and completely ignored her emotional needs. They communicated less and less, and almost every conversation ended in a quarrel. She thought of those nights when she sat alone in the living room waiting for her husband to come home, but what she got was a cold "I'm busy, you go to bed first", or he simply didn't come back all night. She once tried to understand him, after all, his career was very important to him, but where should her own inner needs be placed?

She walked around the house, looking at every corner. The sofa in the living room, where they used to sit and watch TV together, was now covered with dust, just like their feelings, eroded by time and indifference. The kitchen utensils in the kitchen, which she used to carefully select, thinking of making delicious meals for her husband, were now mostly unused because her husband rarely ate at home. Her heart was filled with sadness. This home used to be the harbor of her dreams, but now it became a cage that trapped her.

Jiang Ciyou knew that she couldn't go on like this. The life she wanted was not like this. She longed to be loved and to have warm companionship. Although she knew that leaving this home would bring her a lot of pressure and difficulties, she was more afraid of wasting her life in this loveless marriage. She didn't want to cry alone every night, and she didn't want to look at herself in the mirror who was becoming increasingly haggard.

After packing her things, she looked around the house for the last time. She saw the wedding photo hanging on the wall. She was smiling so happily in the photo, but now, that kind of happiness was out of reach. She sighed softly, picked up her bag, and slowly walked to the door. Her steps were heavy, and every step seemed to be stepping on her heart. She opened the door, the sun shone on her face, but she could not feel a trace of warmth. She looked back at the house, and then gently closed the door, as if closing a piece of unbearable past.

When the door closed, she suddenly felt a sense of relief. She knew that once she took this step, there would be no turning back, but she was determined. She was going to find the life she really wanted, even if the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges. She walked on the street, and people around her came and went, each busy. She felt like a person who had been reborn. Although she didn't know what the future would be like, she knew that as long as she left this painful place, there would be hope.

She came to a small hotel and checked in. Walking into the small and simple room, she put down her things and sat on the bed. A feeling of loneliness came over her. But she told herself that this was only temporary, and she believed that she would be able to find her own happiness. She looked out the window at the street and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the days to come would be kind to her.
