Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 796: Chapter 796: Wei Sheng (Part 3)

Lin Chuxia sat there, unable to recover from Li Guangyuan’s words for a long time.

Actually, when Li Guangyuan mentioned the experimental base and time regression that Gu Peng was involved with in a past life, she knew her return must have something to do with Gu Peng.

Gu Peng had his own company and was involved in some scientific research project, even if he never mentioned it to Lin Chuxia, she had heard some rumors.

Seeing her like this, Li Guangyuan couldn’t help but soften his tone.

"I asked you out today just because I don’t want you to continue being in the dark. Chuxia, you should know, only I truly care for you. They’re all just after your money. Gu Peng is even a despicable person. To get you, he caused your tragic death. He is the one who truly deserves to die."

Yet, given a second chance at life, Lin Chuxia still trusted him so much.

And that man, even in this life, although Li Guangyuan had nothing to do with Lin Chuxia, he still saw him as a thorn in his side.

If he’s not going to let him have it easy, then no one should have it easy.

Lin Chuxia suddenly let out a low laugh, "Li Guangyuan, is all this just to show your deep feelings? With your character, do you think I would believe you?"

Li Guangyuan didn’t expect that after saying so much, Lin Chuxia didn’t believe him.

"Then what else do you want me to do? At worst, you can go ask Gu Peng. No matter how well he hides it, he will show some clues."

He just wanted to tear apart Gu Peng’s disguise and let Lin Chuxia see what the man she had trusted for two lifetimes was really like.

He did do some things that wronged her, but compared to Gu Peng, who wanted her life, what did his actions amount to?

Lin Chuxia definitely wanted to ask clearly, but she had to think carefully about how to get Gu Peng to confess everything.

.........

"Mr. Lin, hasn’t Li done enough to you? Do you still want to waste time with him? I know the corporation was founded solely by you, and it’s all your efforts. With just one word from you, even at the cost of my life, I’ll help you get the company back. Such scum doesn’t deserve to waste your life."

"What does he have in his hands now? If you want, it’s just a matter of a word from you. Even if the company suffers temporary losses, these are all within our control. Don’t you trust my ability, or don’t you even trust your own ability?"

"Mr. Lin, a person only has these few decades in a lifetime. You’ve already been delayed by him for so many years. Is it worth continuing this way?"

"Gu Peng, stop persuading me. This isn’t a question of worthiness. I’m tired. Didn’t you also say someone like him isn’t worth me spending energy on? Things are fine as they are now, aren’t they?"

"Fine? Even though he’s your husband, he’s out there fooling around all the time. Isn’t it just because he dislikes that you can’t have children? Why can’t you have children? Isn’t it all the Li Family’s fault? Are you going to just watch them trample on you?"

"Aren’t you out there fooling around too? Gu Peng, whether you can tolerate it or not depends on one’s attitude. To me now, Li Guangyuan is worse than a stranger. Not to mention fooling around out there, even if he really brought a child back, it might intrigue me. Watching him delightfully bring back an heir, only for them to inherit nothing, wouldn’t that be more interesting? The mouse doesn’t always need to be killed; teasing it can be quite amusing."

"Mr. Lin..."

"It’s enough, Gu Peng. Don’t persuade me any longer. Everyone has a life they want to face. My life is already entangled with these scoundrels, so if it can’t start anew, I’ll just get mixed up till the end. At this point, I have no expectations and even fewer regrets. As for not being able to have children, I’m actually relieved, because being born into such a family would be a tragedy."

"What if life could start anew?"

"Start anew? In that case, I would be more watchful and rather live as a widow than settle with someone like Li Guangyuan..."

......

All around was a vast expanse of whiteness, with nothing visible.

Yet, two people’s voices were clearly audible in her ears.

Lin Chuxia could recognize that it was the voices of Gu Peng and herself.

It was herself from a past life, in a conversation with Gu Peng on some particular day.

At that time, she had already lost passion for life, living each day perfunctorily.

Gu Peng had persuaded her more than once to divorce and break from Li Guangyuan.

But she was unwilling!

No matter how clear the break, Li Guangyuan was a well-known entrepreneur interviewed on television, who had gained many connections relying on her support.

Once out of her control, even if he left with nothing, relying on those connections, Li Guangyuan could still live well.

How could she let his days be too comfortable?

The scene shifted, and the heavy fog cleared.

Lin Chuxia walked on the overpass, stepping with her high heels.

She knew this place, where the red light up ahead was where she had the car accident.

As expected, she saw that figure walking towards the crosswalk. Just then, an out-of-control truck suddenly sped up and rushed over.

She saw that figure being thrown high and then hitting the ground heavily.

The feeling of bones breaking and internal organs rupturing swept over her.

She wanted to scream but was in so much pain that she couldn’t make a sound...

"Xiaxia, Xiaxia, wake up, you’re having a nightmare..."

Lin Chuxia suddenly opened her eyes, breathing heavily, and saw the man’s concerned eyes.

"Xiaxia, did you have a nightmare again?"

Qin Yang turned up the lamp a bit, saw the sweat on Lin Chuxia’s forehead, and went to get her a towel.

While wiping her sweat, he asked with concern, "Have you been too tired recently? Is there a problem at work? You’ve had several nightmares these days."

Lin Chuxia took the towel from his hand and shook her head, "No, work is going well. The weather in Yun City has already warmed up, and the planting base for medicinal herbs has started sowing."

"Then why are you always having nightmares? How about I take a day off tomorrow and accompany you to see a master to get your pulse checked and some traditional medicine for adjustment?"

Lin Chuxia looked at him and suddenly spoke, "Qin Yang, do you believe in reincarnation? Do you believe people have past lives?"

Qin Yang was slightly taken aback, then smiled and held her hand, "I believe, and if there is a next life, I will find you among the crowd again and marry you as my wife."

Lin Chuxia shook her head, "No, I’m talking about the past life. I clearly remember living a life. I remember the people and things in that life very clearly. Qin Yang, I’ve been keeping a secret from you. I’m someone who has lived a life. In my past life, I married Li Guangyuan. Days were difficult and full of setbacks, and later I died in a car accident. When I opened my eyes again, it was a few days before our wedding..."

Qin Yang looked at her, pursed his lips, and held her hand even tighter.

"Are you... still not fully awake?"
