Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Epilogue (Part 10)

When Lin Chuxia arrived at the clothing mall, a large crowd had already gathered below.

The police officers had arrived and were maintaining order.

People stood downstairs, unanimously looking up at the rooftop.

"It’s strange, isn’t it? Why do people always choose the rooftop of Xiyang Clothing Mall to jump from?"

"That’s true. I still remember a few years ago, someone went to the rooftop to jump because he regretted divorcing his wife and went up there to threaten his wife to remarry him."

"I remember that. In the end, he didn’t jump even if he was allowed to. He was such a coward, thinking he could threaten his wife by jumping. Who knew she wouldn’t buy it? Then the police took him away for disturbing public order."

"That’s the thing. What’s happening today? It’s a man again, isn’t it the same guy?"

"You could say Xiyang Clothing Mall has bad feng shui. Why do such things keep happening?"

"That’s not correct. I think Xiyang Clothing Mall has great feng shui. Among all the malls in our city, only Xia Yang Mall is the busiest every day. People come where the crowd is, to create a scene. If they really wanted to die, would they need to jump? Drinking a bottle of pesticide and not even an immortal could save them. Why make such a fuss?"

"You’re absolutely right. He’s been standing up there for a while but doesn’t dare to jump. It’s just posturing."

"You’re only half right. Didn’t you see he was holding a child in his arms? I heard he kidnapped someone else’s child to threaten people."

"My goodness, really? Whose child is that? How unlucky!"

"I heard the child’s grandma was playing with the child nearby. This madman suddenly appeared and ran away with the child. How could the grandma possibly catch up with a grown man?"

"What a sin, and the Xiyang Clothing Mall too. People went up to their roof before to jump, didn’t the mall management take any action? If you ask me, they should just seal off the rooftop so no one can get up there. Look, here we are again."

"You really can’t blame Xiyang Clothing Mall for this. My niece works as a salesgirl there. The rooftop used to be a terrace, and staff could go up there to rest. After that incident, the door to the terrace was locked. I heard this time the man had it planned and damaged the lock."

"Such a person is really frightening and evil. The police mustn’t let him go..."

.........

"Make way, make way, let me through..."

Listening to the chatter, Lin Chuxia was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

At this moment, a large hand grabbed her wrist, and she saw Qin Yang coming from another direction, looking anxious.

At the moment she saw the man, Lin Chuxia couldn’t hold back, "Qin Yang, he took Qi Qi away, up on the rooftop..."

Qin Yang nodded, "I know, let’s go up first. As long as we don’t see him, he won’t act hastily."

Though he said so, both of them felt heavy-hearted, and Lin Chuxia’s hand was even trembling slightly.

They climbed the four stories at once, barely taking a breath.

The rooftop was already crowded. Seeing the man at the edge holding a crying child, Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but shout, "Li Guangyuan, if you have something, come at me. Put the child down."

Li Guangyuan saw Lin Chuxia, then Qin Yang beside her, and his face twisted a bit.

"Really fickle, aren’t you? Even at a time like this, you’re with another man. Seems you don’t care much about this child."

He pulled the child closer to him, watching the child cry with interest.

Lin Chuxia took two steps forward, but a police officer stopped her, "Don’t rush, he’s agitated now and has the child. You can’t provoke him."

Zhuang Jingshu had already come to Lin Chuxia’s side, tears streaming down her face, "Xiaxia, I’m sorry. It’s my fault I didn’t take good care of Qi Qi..."

Lin Chuxia patted her arm comfortingly. This couldn’t be blamed on her mother.

Qi Qi was raised by her mother since infancy. She treasures the child more than life itself.

The bond between her and Qi Qi was even deeper than between the child’s parents.

Li Guangyuan noticed Lin Chuxia’s movements and looked over, "If we were to jump down from here and die, would we go back to that time? We’d also have a lovely child then, just like her. I’ve looked closely. This child looks like you, Chuxia. Did you know? I’ve fantasized countless times about what our child would look like. Too bad it’s a girl; a boy would have been better."

"Alright, I’m coming over now. You wanted to try, didn’t you? Then let’s try it."

As Lin Chuxia spoke, she started to move forward. Qin Yang worriedly grabbed her arm.

Lin Chuxia gave him a reassuring look.

Li Guangyuan suddenly laughed, "I suggest you stay there, Lin Chuxia. No one knows you better than me in this world. I don’t think I could outsmart you. When you come over, I might not even have a chance to say a word."

He spoke as he lifted the child to his other side.

He was sitting on the ledge by the edge, and with this move, little Qi Qi was suspended in mid-air.

Seeing her mother arrive, Qi Qi cried even harder, twisting her small body towards her mother.

This action made the situation more dangerous. If Li Guangyuan lost his grip, the child would fall.

The four-and-a-half-story building was a commercial one, at least twenty meters high.

Falling from such a height would lead to catastrophic consequences.

"I won’t come over. Bring the child back, Li Guangyuan. Don’t hurt the child. Say what you want. I’ll agree to anything I can do."

Li Guangyuan suddenly burst out laughing, "Really? Seems I’ve played the right move today. In the past life, nothing could strike you; now, in this life, you have a weakness."

He turned his gaze to Qin Yang, "Lin Chuxia, I want you to divorce Qin Yang and marry me, and we’ll start fresh. I promise to treat you well. Can you do that?"

Lin Chuxia looked at him without speaking.

Li Guangyuan laughed again, "See? You said you’d agree to anything, yet here you are. Can’t do it? Seems this child isn’t that important to you, at least not more than that man."

Li Guangyuan lifted the child again.

Lin Chuxia’s pupils contracted, "Li Guangyuan, is there any point to this? You know even if I marry you, I won’t be happy with you."
