Chapter 229: "Emotional Test"
Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen have been working hard in the business field, and their efforts and talents have made their careers flourish. However, with the pressure of competition and the busy work, their relationship is once again facing a severe test.
Jiang Ciyou sat in the office and rubbed her temples tiredly. The company has been busy with many affairs recently, and she is busy almost every day. She looked at the piles of documents on the table and felt helpless. She knew that she had to go all out to gain a foothold in this fiercely competitive business world.
At the same time, Lu Jingchen was also busy with the development of the company. He traveled frequently and negotiated business with various partners. The two of them hadn't sat down and chatted for several days.
That day, Jiang Ciyou finally found some time to call Lu Jingchen, but found that his phone was always unanswered. She felt a little uneasy, wondering what Lu Jingchen was busy with. She tried to comfort herself, maybe he was in a meeting or had other important things to do.
However, as time went by, Jiang Ciyou's uneasiness gradually turned into doubt. She began to doubt whether Lu Jingchen's feelings for her were real. She remembered their previous quarrels, and those conflicts caused by trivial matters seemed to be infinitely magnified at this moment.
On Lu Jingchen's side, he also felt tired and confused. He knew that he had neglected Jiang Ciyou recently, but he was also working hard for the future of the company. He felt that Jiang Ciyou should understand him instead of doubting him without reason.
When Lu Jingchen finally finished his work and saw Jiang Ciyou's missed call, it was already several hours later. He quickly called back, but heard Jiang Ciyou's cold voice.
"You finally remembered me?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Ciyou's tone.
Lu Jingchen's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "Ciyou, I was in a meeting just now, and my phone was muted. I'm sorry to make you worry."
Jiang Ciyou didn't buy it. She asked, "Meeting? It's always a meeting. Have you ever thought that I also need your care and company?"
Lu Jingchen felt helpless. He said, "Ciyou, I know I have ignored you recently, but I am also working hard for our future. Why can't you understand me?"
The conversation between the two reached a deadlock, and the trust between them gradually decreased at this moment. Jiang Ciyou began to doubt whether Lu Jingchen still loved her, and Lu Jingchen also felt that Jiang Ciyou did not trust him enough.
In the following days, their relationship became more and more tense. They began to quarrel over trivial matters, and after each quarrel, the two would fall into a cold war. Jiang Ciyou felt very wronged. She felt that she had paid a lot for the company, but she could not get Lu Jingchen's understanding and support. Lu Jingchen also felt helpless. He didn't know how to make Jiang Ciyou believe his sincerity.
During an argument, Jiang Ciyou finally couldn't help but speak out her true feelings. "Lu Jingchen, I think you have changed. You are no longer the person who cares about me and loves me. You only care about your work now, and don't care about my feelings at all."
After hearing Jiang Ciyou's words, Lu Jingchen felt a sharp pain in his heart. He retorted: "Ciyou, how can you say that? I have always loved you, but I have been too busy with work recently. Why can't you understand me a little more?"
Jiang Ciyou burst into tears and said, "Understand? I have understood you many times. But what about you? Have you ever considered my feelings? You always say it's for our future, but where is our future?"
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou crying, feeling full of guilt. He knew that he had indeed neglected Jiang Ciyou recently, but he was also working hard for their future. He walked forward and wanted to hug Jiang Ciyou, but she pushed him away.
"Don't touch me!" Jiang Ciyou said loudly, "I don't want to see you now."
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou helplessly. He knew that it was useless for him to say anything now. He turned away silently, his heart full of loss and pain.
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's departing back, her heart full of contradictions. She didn't know what to do. She loved Lu Jingchen, but she was disappointed in him. She began to doubt whether the relationship between her and Lu Jingchen could continue.
In the following days, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen fell into a cold war. They were no longer as close as before, and the distance between them became farther and farther. Jiang Ciyou put all his energy into work, trying to numb himself with work. Lu Jingchen did the same, burying himself in work, hoping to forget the conflict between him and Jiang Ciyou.
However, the more they avoided it, the more serious the problem became. Their feelings gradually faded in the cold war, and the trust between them almost disappeared. Jiang Ciyou began to feel that there was no future between her and Lu Jingchen, and she even considered ending the relationship.
Just when Jiang Ciyou was in despair, her good friend Lin Yue found her. Lin Yue saw what was on Jiang Ciyou's mind and patiently advised her.
"Ciyou, what happened between you and Lu Jingchen? I see your relationship has been very tense recently." Lin Yue asked with concern.
Jiang Ciyou sighed and told Lin Yue about the conflict between him and Lu Jingchen. After listening, Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Ciyou, I think the problem between you and Lu Jingchen is not unsolvable. You are just too busy with work and ignore each other's feelings. If you can sit down and communicate properly, maybe the problem will be solved."
Jiang Ciyou was moved after hearing Lin Yue's words. She knew that what Lin Yue said made sense, but she didn't know how to face Lu Jingchen. Lin Yue saw Jiang Ciyou's hesitation, and she encouraged her: "Ciyou, be brave. If you still love Lu Jingchen, don't give up this relationship easily. You have experienced so many difficulties and challenges together, are you going to give up so easily?"
With Lin Yue's encouragement, Jiang Ciyou finally decided to have a good talk with Lu Jingchen. She sent a text message to Lu Jingchen, asking him to meet at the coffee shop they had been to together. After receiving the text message, Lu Jingchen felt happy and nervous. He knew this was their chance to solve the problem, and he didn't want to miss it.
When they met in the coffee shop, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen didn't know how to start, they just looked at each other silently. In the end, it was Jiang Ciyou who broke the silence.
"Jingchen, we can't go on like this. We need to have a good talk." Jiang Ciyou said.
Lu Jingchen nodded and said, "Ciyou, I also know that the problem between us is very serious. I don't want to lose you, but I don't know what to do to make you believe my sincerity."
Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's sincere eyes, and the ice in her heart began to melt. She said, "Jingchen, I don't want to lose you either. But the problems between us must be solved, otherwise our relationship will only get worse."
They began to communicate their feelings and thoughts frankly. Jiang Ciyou told Lu Jingchen that it was not that she did not understand his work, but she just hoped that he could care about her more after his busy work. Lu Jingchen also expressed his apologies to Jiang Ciyou, and he admitted that he had indeed ignored Jiang Ciyou's feelings recently.
Through this communication, they better understood each other's pressure and difficulties. They also realized that the relationship between them was so precious that they could not give up easily because of some trivial things. They decided to re-examine their relationship and find a way to solve the problem.
In the following days, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen began to work hard to repair their relationship. They tried to make time for each other, go to the movies, eat, and take walks together. They also paid more attention to communication with each other, and when they encountered problems, they no longer quarreled, but sat down to discuss them.
As time went by, their relationship gradually returned to its former sweetness. They once again felt the importance of each other and cherished this hard-earned relationship even more. They knew that their relationship still had a long way to go and would face various challenges, but they believed that as long as they understood and supported each other, they would be able to overcome any difficulties.
