Chapter 503: Eye contact and inner turmoil
Chapter 503: Eye contact and inner turmoil
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou with mixed feelings. He was wearing a well-tailored high-end custom suit, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his handsome face had a complicated expression. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Ciyou, as if everything around him had disappeared, and she was the center of his world.
He never expected to see her here again, and with her husband. The man who had abandoned her on their wedding night now appeared with her in such an occasion, which made Lu Jingchen feel indescribable anger and unwillingness. He secretly clenched his fists, trying to control his emotions, telling himself not to lose his composure at this time.
At this moment, Lu Jingchen's mind kept replaying every bit of his past with Jiang Ciyou. They were on vacation together at the beach, enjoying the sun and the beach, and Jiang Ciyou's smile was as bright as a blooming flower; they had dinner together in a high-end restaurant, tasting delicious food and fine wine, and Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction. Those good times seemed to be still in front of him, but now everything has changed.
Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to be impulsive. He needed to stay rational in order to handle the situation. At this time, someone came over to greet Lu Jingchen. He responded politely, but his eyes never left Jiang Ciyou. He didn't want to miss any of her expressions or actions.
Jiang Ciyou felt Lu Jingchen's gaze and became even more flustered. She was wearing an elegant evening gown, with a graceful and beautiful figure. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck, and her exquisite makeup made her even more radiant. However, at this moment, she no longer had the confidence and composure of the past.
Jiang Ciyou's eyes drifted towards Lu Jingchen from time to time, but she quickly looked away the moment their eyes met. She didn't know how to face him, the man who had once made her heart beat and heartbroken. Her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. On the one hand, she still had feelings for Lu Jingchen, and the good times they spent together were not so easy to forget; on the other hand, she felt that she could not betray her husband, even though her husband had betrayed her before.
Jiang Ciyou's husband was still chatting with others, not noticing her strangeness at all. He was smiling and saying flattering words, thinking only of making more friends with the rich and powerful at the banquet and seeking more opportunities for his career. Jiang Ciyou looked at her husband's back, feeling helpless and sad. She didn't know why she was with such a selfish man, nor did she know where her future would go.
Jiang Ciyou tried to calm herself down. She told herself that she couldn't lose her composure at this moment. She began to observe the surroundings and tried to distract herself. The banquet venue was very luxurious and magnificently decorated. There were guests wearing gorgeous clothes everywhere. Some of them were talking to each other, some were tasting delicious food, and some were enjoying music. The atmosphere was very lively.
However, Jiang Ciyou was not interested in all this. Her mind was completely on Lu Jingchen. She didn't know why he was here, nor did she know what kind of feelings he had for her now. She thought of the days they had been together, those passionate and romantic times, and a warm current surged in her heart. But she thought of her husband again, and the vows and promises they had made, and her heart was filled with guilt and uneasiness.
Jiang Ciyou fell into deep thought, she didn't know what to do. She felt as if she was trapped in a whirlpool and couldn't extricate herself. She wanted to escape from this place, but she didn't know where to go. She wanted to forget Lu Jingchen, but found that she couldn't do it at all.
Just when Jiang Ciyou was upset, Lu Jingchen looked at her again. This time, his eyes were full of determination and tenderness, as if telling her that he would not give up easily. Jiang Ciyou's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes again. She knew that if this continued, she might not be able to control her emotions.
Jiang Ciyou's husband finally noticed her abnormality. He turned around, looked at Jiang Ciyou and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Jiang Ciyou quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Her husband frowned and said, "Then you go and rest over there, I'll come to you later." Jiang Ciyou nodded, turned and left.
She found a relatively quiet corner and sat down. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. However, Lu Jingchen's figure kept appearing in her mind, making her restless. She didn't know what to do. She felt that her world was completely messed up.
Just when Jiang Ciyou was lost in thought, she suddenly felt someone coming over. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Jingchen standing in front of her. She was flustered and didn't know what to say. Lu Jingchen looked at her, his eyes full of concern and tenderness. He said, "Are you okay?" Jiang Ciyou nodded and said, "I'm fine." Lu Jingchen sat down beside her and said, "I know you are very conflicted and entangled now. But I hope you know that my heart has not changed." Jiang Ciyou was silent for a while and said, "I don't know what to do. My life is already very chaotic, and I don't want to get into more trouble." Lu Jingchen said, "I won't cause you any trouble. I just want you to know that I love you and I am willing to do anything for you." Jiang Ciyou was moved in her heart and didn't know what to say. She thought of the days they were together, and those beautiful memories made her heart beat. But she thought of her husband again and remembered every bit of their past. She felt that she couldn't betray him like this, and she couldn't be an irresponsible person.
Lu Jingchen saw Jiang Ciyou's hesitation and said, "I know it's hard for you to make a decision now, and I don't want to force you. I just hope you can think about it carefully, and I will wait for your answer." After that, he stood up and left. Jiang Ciyou looked at his back, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She didn't know what to do, she felt that she was trapped in an inescapable dilemma.
Jiang Ciyou sat there alone, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She thought of her past, her dreams and pursuits. She felt that her life had lost its direction, and she didn't know how to find herself again. She remembered what Lu Jingchen said, that he loved her and was willing to do anything for her. She didn't know whether this sentence was true or false, and she didn't know whether she should believe him.
Jiang Ciyou's heart was full of contradictions and entanglements. She didn't know how to choose. She felt as if she was standing at a crossroads, not knowing which direction to go. She wanted to go back to the past and start over with her husband, but she knew that there was an irreparable rift between them; she wanted to be with Lu Jingchen, but she felt that doing so was too selfish and would hurt many people.
Jiang Ciyou fell into deep pain, and she didn't know what to do. She felt that her world had completely collapsed, and she didn't know how to rebuild her life. She thought of her family and friends, who had always supported and encouraged her. She felt that she couldn't just give up, she had to face her life bravely and make the right choice.
Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She decided to think about her future. She couldn't live in such a muddle-headed way anymore. She had to find her own direction and start her life again. She knew that this process might be difficult, but she believed that as long as she had the courage and determination, she would be able to get out of the predicament and find her own happiness.
