Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Epilogue (Part 4)

Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "I wasn’t sleep talking. I’m very clear-headed. Do you know why the bride was suddenly changed just a few days before the wedding?"

Qin Yang shook his head.

Although his mother handled this matter, he knew that the person originally proposed to him by the matchmaker was not Lin Chuxia, but Lin Jiayi, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family.

The two of them were originally engaged, but one day the matchmaker came to his mother and said the Lin Family wanted to change the bride.

They even said the Lin Family’s eldest daughter had various shortcomings, and the second daughter was more suitable for him.

Although his mother didn’t know much about the Lin Family’s situation, she knew that a forced marriage wouldn’t be happy, so they changed the marriage.

Looking at it now, what the matchmaker said was quite right.

The second daughter of the Lin Family was indeed more suitable for him.

Lin Chuxia didn’t think too much about it and continued, "It’s not only me. Lin Jiayi, like me, lived another life and came back. She envied the spectacular life I had in my previous life and wanted to marry Li Guangyuan after coming back, which is why she proposed to change the bride. And it just so happened to suit my intentions; I didn’t want to marry into the Li Family anymore, so I agreed to change the bride..."

She looked seriously at Qin Yang, "At that time, I also found this matter unbelievable, and even though I knew Lin Jiayi was also living a second life, I wanted to keep this secret and not tell anyone. But I didn’t expect Gu Peng to also come back, as well as Li Guangyuan, who has also remembered the past life’s events."

"And what about me?" Qin Yang tightly held onto Lin Chuxia’s hands, his large hand even trembling slightly, "Will I remember things from my past life too?"

Lin Chuxia shook her head, "Probably not. I only recently realized we were able to come back because, directly or indirectly, it was related to Gu Peng. Qin Yang, I’m sorry. I know you feel uncomfortable with Gu Peng around me, but I still kept him by my side, as judged by my past life’s experiences. That was my fault."

If Gu Peng truly harbored such thoughts, no matter how innocent she thought her intentions were, it was a form of harm towards Qin Yang.

Moreover, Qin Yang had noticed it from the beginning.

She was just too self-assured.

Qin Yang reached up to touch her head and chuckled softly, "If I didn’t know you had memories of your past life, and that you had a connection with Gu Peng back then, I’d be a little jealous seeing you keep him by your side. Now that I know there’s an additional layer to your relationship, I’m actually not that uncomfortable anymore."

If Lin Chuxia harbored even a little romantic feeling toward Gu Peng, she wouldn’t have chosen to marry him after being reborn with the memories of her past life.

Someone Gu Peng couldn’t win over in a lifetime, he probably has even less chance in this life.

Seeing him still a bit smug, Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing her emotions had stabilized, Qin Yang didn’t rush to sleep, "Do you want to tell me what happened exactly?"

Since she had started, Lin Chuxia didn’t plan to hide anything from Qin Yang anymore.

So she told him everything that had happened during this time.

Including everything that happened after she married into the Li Family in her past life.

When talking about how the Li Family wanted to exploit her blood to make her work for their business while simultaneously despising her for being too assertive, to the extent of overshadowing the men, Qin Yang couldn’t help but curse.

Moreover, when Lin Chuxia injured her body and couldn’t bear children while saving someone, and Li Guangyuan despised her and frequently sought out other women, the veins on Qin Yang’s forehead throbbed.

Lin Chuxia was sure that if Li Guangyuan were right in front of them, Qin Yang would definitely beat him up.

After she mentioned the things Li Guangyuan had brought up, Qin Yang fell silent again.

Time ticked by quietly, as the night outside remained still.

After an unknown period, Qin Yang spoke, "Xiaxia, is it necessary to dwell on the past life?"

Lin Chuxia knew he was referring to going to Gu Peng to clear things up.

These days, Lin Chuxia had also been pondering this question.

She only wanted to know the truth, but was afraid the truth would exceed her expectations.

Of course, Qin Yang also noticed her apprehension.

"Xiaxia, what’s past in the previous life has already gone. Even if you all have memories from back then, you each have brand new lives now, be it you, Li Guangyuan, Lin Jiayi, or Gu Peng. You all have different life trajectories. You have me, Qi Qi, our mother, and our master. Would you abandon us all for the people and things from a past life?"

Lin Chuxia shook her head, "How could I?"

These people were her closest, her beloved, and those she would protect with her life.

How could she abandon them?

Qin Yang raised the corners of his lips, revealing a slight smile, "Since that’s the case, why get tangled up with the past life? You’ve said yourself that you weren’t happy in the past life, struggling in the mess of the Li and Lin Families. Now, this time, you’ve broken free from that quagmire. Would you still want to fall back in?"

No matter the reason, since you’ve been reborn and we’ve met, it’s our fate in this life. Let the past be past."

"Can it really be let go?"

Not just her, the others came back with memories too.

After all, Lin Chuxia was afraid, afraid things would spiral out of control, afraid she would lose everything she now possessed.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be plagued by nightmares.

Seeing her unease, Qin Yang reassured her by holding her hands once more.

"It’s already past, trust me. I’m grateful to fate for bringing us together and allowing me a happy life. Xiaxia, thank you."

Lin Chuxia gazed at the handsome face and determined eyes of the man, suddenly feeling a protective barrier building within her heart for her to lean on.

Everything became clear, her eyes unexpectedly welled up, "Qin Yang, it’s me who should be thanking you. You’re right, I shouldn’t be tangled up in the past. There are many things I can still do."

So many meaningful things, and the people right in front of her.

Let the rotten people and bothered affairs of the past fade away; compared to all of that, her lover and family are what truly deserve her attention and care.

"I’m sorry, Qin Yang. I’ve been stuck in my own headspace, ignoring your feelings. It won’t happen again. No matter what they say, I won’t let any of those past events occupy my mind even a little."

Even if the sky were to fall, it would still be part of the past life.

At this moment, Lin Chuxia reconciled with her past self.

Qin Yang saw her relief and also chuckled with satisfaction, drawing her into his embrace.

The moon, at some point, had risen, the crescent casting a gentle glow.

Lin Chuxia suddenly looked up, "Aren’t you curious about your past life’s self?"

Qin Yang thought for a moment and turned to Lin Chuxia, "Did we know each other in the past life? According to what you’ve said, if I married Lin Jiayi and you married Li Guangyuan, we should be relatives, right? In that case, we should’ve known each other."

Qin Yang couldn’t imagine what life would be like if he married another woman, only caring about what perspective Lin Chuxia might have seen him from in their past lives.
