Jiang Zhi returned home feeling as if a dark cloud had enveloped her. Jiang Yao's words, like stubborn vines, lingered in her mind. Despite repeated attempts to dissuade herself from them, they seemed to have a life of their own, lingering on her mind.
She sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly ahead. Everything in the house was carefully chosen by her and Shen Qingchen, and every corner was filled with sweet memories of their wedding. The cushions on the sofa were bought after they saw them together at the mall, feeling they were particularly cozy. The painting on the wall was also one they had spotted at an art exhibition. It depicted a loving couple strolling in the sunset, and they had laughed and said it looked like their future. But now, Jiang Zhi felt as if these once beautiful things had become distant.
She began to recall every little detail about Shen Qingchen's past. He did have many female friends. Before they were together, Jiang Zhi knew that Shen Qingchen was a very popular person. His charm came not only from his handsome appearance, but also from his talent, humor, and kindness. Among those female friends, some were business partners, some were neighbors who grew up together, and some were friends he met at various social events. Jiang Zhi always believed in Shen Qingchen's feelings for her. She felt that she was the most special one. Shen Qingchen chose her, which meant that he gave her all his love.
However, Jiang Yao's words were like a sharp sword, easily piercing the seemingly solid line of trust in her heart. When Jiang Zhi thought of the female friends Jiang Yao mentioned still having feelings for Shen Qingchen, her heart ached. She began to imagine what those female friends were like around Shen Qingchen. Did they understand Shen Qingchen better than she did? Did they also occupy a place in Shen Qingchen's heart? Jiang Zhi knew that such thoughts were irrational, but she couldn't control herself.
Her thoughts drifted back to a party where she saw Shen Qingchen chatting happily with a female friend. At the time, she didn't care because she believed in Shen Qingchen and she could also feel Shen Qingchen's love for her. But now, that picture kept magnifying in her mind, and she began to interpret different things from the eyes of that female friend. She felt that the eyes seemed to contain special feelings for Shen Qingchen. Jiang Zhi knew that this might just be her own groundless speculation, but once this idea came out, it grew like wild weeds.
When Shen Qingchen returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was a little off. Usually, Jiang Zhi would always greet him with a smile and give him a warm hug, but today, Jiang Zhi just sat quietly on the sofa, with a look of worry in his eyes that he had never seen before. Shen Qingchen's heart suddenly tightened. He hurried to Jiang Zhi's side and asked with concern: "Dear, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Jiang Zhi looked up at Shen Qingchen, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. She didn't know how to tell Shen Qingchen, she was afraid that her doubts would hurt their relationship. But she also felt that if she kept all these thoughts in her heart, it would only make herself more uncomfortable and would not be conducive to the development of their relationship. After some inner struggle, Jiang Zhi decided to tell Shen Qingchen what Jiang Yao had said.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Qingchen, when Jiang Yao and I were chatting today, she mentioned some of your former female friends and said that they still had feelings for you. I know these may just be some unwarranted remarks from her, but I still feel a little uncomfortable." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Shen Qingchen, she wanted to find the answer from his eyes.
After hearing Jiang Zhi's words, Shen Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then a helpless smile appeared on his face. He gently held Jiang Zhi's hand and said softly, "Dear, how can you doubt me just because of Jiang Yao's words? Those female friends are just ordinary friends to me. I chose you, which means you are the most important person in my life. You are the only one in my heart."
Shen Qingchen began to patiently explain to Jiang Zhi. He said that those female business friends only interacted because of work, and they only talked about work. As for those neighbors who grew up together, although they had a deep friendship, it was just a kind of family-like feeling, which was completely different from love. He told Jiang Zhi that since the moment he fell in love with her, there was no room for anyone else in his heart.
He also talked about every little thing about their relationship, starting with his initial impression of Jiang Zhi. He said that when he first met Jiang Zhi, he was attracted by her unique temperament. At that time, Jiang Zhi was wearing a simple white dress, standing in the crowd like a shining star. He said that it took him a long time and hard pursuit to win Jiang Zhi's heart. This relationship is invaluable to him. How could he be shaken by others?
Jiang Zhi listened to Shen Qingchen's explanation, and the doubts in her heart slowly began to dissipate. She looked into Shen Qingchen's sincere eyes and felt his deep love for her. She felt that her previous thoughts were really stupid. How could she doubt the person she loved so deeply just because of a few words from others? A smile gradually appeared on her face. She held Shen Qingchen's hand tightly and said, "Qingchen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you. I know your love for me is sincere, and I also cherish the relationship between us."
Shen Qingchen hugged Jiang Zhi in his arms and whispered, "Dear, it's okay. I know this may be Jiang Yao deliberately provoking the relationship between us, and we can't let her succeed. We must trust each other more so that our relationship can be stronger." Jiang Zhi nodded in Shen Qingchen's arms. She secretly made up her mind that she would never doubt Shen Qingchen because of such things again.
In this world, love always faces various tests. Sometimes, these tests may come from external interference, like Jiang Yao's provocation; sometimes, they may come from one's own inner insecurity. However, as long as there is unwavering trust and deep affection between two people, these tests can be overcome and the flower of love can bloom more brilliantly. This is the case with Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's relationship. Through this small setback, they have a deeper understanding of each other and their love for each other has become more solid.
