Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 141 The Shadow Behind the Sweetness

The days in Paris were like a colorful dream. Every morning, the sun shone through the thin veil and gently onto the bed where Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen slept in each other's arms. They were almost inseparable in this romantic city, as if they were the only ones left in the world, immersed in their sweet world of two.

During the day, they walked hand in hand in the magnificent halls of the Louvre. Every corner of the Louvre exuded the breath of art, and Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with love and admiration for art. She stopped for a long time in front of Mona Lisa's mysterious smile, as if she could read thousands of years of stories from that smile. Lu Jingchen stood quietly beside her, looking at her focused expression, his heart full of love. He gently held her hand, as if holding the whole world.

When they climbed the Eiffel Tower together, they had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Paris. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the streets of Paris unfolded like a gorgeous painting in front of them. Jiang Ciyou excitedly pointed at the buildings in the distance and told Lu Jingchen about her love for this city. Lu Jingchen listened with a smile, occasionally interjecting a few words, making Jiang Ciyou laugh. At that moment, they seemed to be the happiest people in the world, without worries, without sorrow, only each other's company and endless sweetness.

However, every night when the bright lights of Parisian streets lit up, Jiang Ciyou's heart was gradually shrouded by a shadow. When she lay alone in bed, the silence around her seemed to be infinitely magnified, and those painful memories came flooding back to her mind. Her husband's betrayal was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart again and again.

She would think of the cruel text message on her wedding night. Every word was like an icy arrow, piercing her beautiful vision of the future. She had been preparing for the wedding with great joy, thinking that she had found the happiness of her life, but she did not expect to be hit so hard. The bridal chamber she had carefully decorated was now filled with loneliness and memories. The wedding dresses she had personally selected, hanging in the closet, seemed to be silently mocking her naivety.

She would also think of every little detail of her acquaintance and love with her husband. Those once beautiful times have now become so bitter. The streets they walked together, the movies they watched together, the vows they made together, all vanished in the moment of her husband's betrayal. She didn't understand why two people who once loved each other so much would end up like this. She began to doubt love, and whether she was still capable of love and whether she was still worthy of being loved.

Although Jiang Ciyou always tries to look happy in front of Lu Jingchen, she can't hide the pain in her heart. Behind her smile is deep sadness and confusion. She knows that Lu Jingchen treats her very well, and his gentleness and thoughtfulness make her feel unprecedented warmth. But she is afraid that she will be hurt again, afraid that she will not be able to forget the past and will not be able to devote herself wholeheartedly to her relationship with Lu Jingchen.

This inner struggle made Jiang Ciyou feel extremely painful. She tried to escape these painful memories in various ways, but they always followed her. She began to become sensitive and suspicious, and was particularly concerned about Lu Jingchen's every move. Sometimes, an inadvertent look or a word from Lu Jingchen would make her fall into deep anxiety.

She knew that it was unfair to Lu Jingchen, but she couldn't control her emotions. She felt like a child lost in the dark, unable to find the direction and seeing no hope. She didn't know how to face Lu Jingchen, nor how to face her own heart. She could only cry silently every lonely night, bearing the pain and suffering in her heart alone.

During the time in Paris, Jiang Ciyou's mood became increasingly depressed. She began to lose interest in everything around her, and was no longer as keen on shopping and social activities as before. She locked herself in her room all day and was unwilling to go out. Lu Jingchen saw it and felt pain in his heart. He knew the pain in Jiang Ciyou's heart, and he tried every means to help her get out of the shadow, but he always felt powerless.

He began to take better care of Jiang Ciyou's daily life, preparing a hearty breakfast and dinner for her every day. When she was in a bad mood, he would quietly stay by her side and give her a warm hug. He would also take her to some of her favorite places, hoping to cheer her up. But Jiang Ciyou's mood never improved much, and she was still immersed in the painful memories of the past.

Lu Jingchen felt very worried. He didn't know how to make Jiang Ciyou happy again. He began to reflect on his performance in this relationship. He felt that he might not know Jiang Ciyou well enough and had not really entered her inner world. He decided to work harder to care for her, love her, and let her feel his sincerity.

So, Lu Jingchen began to try to communicate with Jiang Ciyou. He hoped that she could tell him all the pain and confusion in her heart. He told Jiang Ciyou that he was willing to face the pain of the past with her and find happiness in the future together. Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's sincere eyes and was moved. She knew that Lu Jingchen really loved her, and she also wanted to try to forget the past and start over. But those painful memories always haunted her like ghosts, making it difficult for her to let go.

On a quiet night, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen sat on the balcony, looking at the starry sky. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Lu Jingchen gently held Jiang Ciyou's hand and said softly: "Ciyou, I know there is always a knot in your heart, and I also know that the past things have caused you a lot of harm. But I hope you can believe me, I will always be by your side and never leave you. If we work together, we will definitely be able to get out of this shadow and create a happy future for us."

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen, tears flashing in her eyes. She knew that Lu Jingchen was right, she couldn't live in the shadow of the past forever. She should face her heart bravely and pursue her own happiness. She leaned gently in Lu Jingchen's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. At that moment, she seemed to have found support, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated.

However, it is not easy to truly forget the past. Jiang Ciyou knows that she still has a long way to go. But she is no longer as confused and helpless as before, because she knows that no matter what difficulties she will encounter in the future, Lu Jingchen will always be by her side and face them with her. On this night in Paris, Jiang Ciyou gradually fell asleep in Lu Jingchen's arms. A long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.
