Chapter 229: Both Jump Off the Building
Ye Qingcheng thinks that since Xiao Tianyu did something to her, he must take responsibility. Even if it's coercion into marriage, it's only natural. She believes she hasn't done anything wrong, and it's quite normal to use Xiao Tianyu as a shield.
But she didn't expect Xiao Tianyu to outright refuse, saying he won't marry her, no matter what. However, would Ye Qingcheng let him have his way?
Ye Qingcheng shouted, "Xiao Tianyu, stop right there!"
"Is there anything left to say between us?"
"I'll give you one last chance, are you going to marry me or not?" Ye Qingcheng said.
"Not marrying!" Xiao Tianyu bluntly refused. This woman wasn't just sick but seriously sick. Marriage isn't a game; you can't just say marry and be done with it.
Besides, marrying such a strong and domineering Iceberg President would mean serving her at home, no less.
Didn't I just glance at you? Didn't do anything to you, and you looked at me too, right? It should be even now.
"Do you believe I could go to court right now to accuse you of rape?" Ye Qingcheng threatened.
"Go ahead!"
"You..." Ye Qingcheng's chest heaved with anger, turbulent and vast. She had never been so humiliated growing up. Usually, in Celestial Capital, countless people flatter her, but this guy was impervious to both hard and soft approaches.
Ye Qingcheng thought she had already humbled herself, yet still nothing.
More infuriatingly, he ogled and touched but still refused to admit what happened.
"Aren't you going to accuse me? Go on, stop wasting time here!" Xiao Tianyu said seriously. If it's found out that he's still a virgin, it wouldn't be Xiao Tianyu who'd feel ashamed, but Ye Qingcheng.
Moreover, it would absolutely become headline news.
However, Xiao Tianyu's perpetually unruffled face really made people angry, leaving Ye Qingcheng almost spitting blood with rage.
"Xiao Tianyu, you're a bastard, a total bastard!"
"Say one more word!"
"Say one more word, and then what..." The next second, Ye Qingcheng shut up because she felt herself getting trapped by a gaze. A gaze like an abyss, no matter how she struggled, she seemed to sink deeper, unable to escape.
What kind of gaze was this, Ye Qingcheng didn't know, but she felt the gaze was full of bloody slaughter, as if the abyss was filled with bones and rivers of blood.
Gulp~
Ye Qingcheng swallowed hard, her hair standing on end, taking a while to react.
Then she walked toward the balcony of the café, ready to use her final trump card.
Xiao Tianyu looked stunned, thinking this woman intends to threaten with suicide? He wasn't raised to be scared easily, and he had seen this kind of threat before. Recently at the Celestial Universe Hotel, Xiao Tianyu had just encountered it once.
Very quickly, Ye Qingcheng stepped onto the edge of the balcony. A step forward, and her life would be over.
Looking back, she stared at Xiao Tianyu and said, "If you don't agree, I'll jump off from here, making you feel guilty for the rest of your life!"
"Threatening me?" Xiao Tianyu's lips curled slightly. This woman is really childish. So Xiao Tianyu said, "Jump then. This is the tenth floor. If you fly down, a monument for heroes and martyrs would definitely have a place for you!"
"However, don't blame me for not warning you, at this height, even a metal pancake would be flattened, let alone a person!"
Xiao Tianyu stood by and added fuel, as if telling Ye Qingcheng, go ahead if you dare. If you die, it doesn't affect him in the slightest.
Guilty?
You're overthinking it, if you seek death yourself, why should Xiao Tianyu feel guilty?
"Xiao Tianyu, do you really think I wouldn't dare to jump?" Ye Qingcheng was furious; especially the look on Xiao Tianyu's face, which seemed like he was eagerly hoping she'd die.
"Go ahead!"
"You..." Ye Qingcheng swallowed, glanced down, damn it's high.
"What's there not to dare?" Xiao Tianyu said, "You really think I'm scared easily?"
Immediately, Xiao Tianyu took out his phone and dialed a number.
Ye Qingcheng shouted, "Don't expect to call 120!"
"You're overthinking. I'm calling the mortuary!"
"..." Ye Qingcheng felt like spitting blood, "Bastard, you're a total bastard who stands by doing nothing, fine... fine, you want me dead, right? I'll die just to show you!"
"All talk and no action, what's the use!" With that, Xiao Tianyu turned to leave.
Now, outside the café, below the building gathered quite a crowd, all staring in shock at Ye Qingcheng.
"What's she doing? Is she going to jump?"
"Should be? Such a beautiful woman, why jump? Even if heartbroken, it's not worth it, this is punishing her own life for someone else's mistakes, too foolish!"
"Hey beautiful, even if you're dumped, there's still me!"
The crowd below spoke unanimously, it's utterly something no man wishes to see, a tender flower withering away.
Seeing Xiao Tianyu about to open the door and leave the room, Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath. Even if she had to die, she wouldn't marry Guan Zhongyuan, and since Xiao Tianyu violated her without taking responsibility, she'd make him guilty for life.
Then, Ye Qingcheng closed her eyes, stepped her right foot forward, suddenly finding herself in freefall as her graceful body truly plummeted down.
"My God, it's unprecedented, she's really jumped!"
"..."
Such a scene made everyone below terrified; a tragedy was about to unfold as Ye Qingcheng's death leap started to be pronounced by the heavens above.
Just as Xiao Tianyu opened the door of the cabin and heard the screams, he glanced at the balcony and Ye Qingcheng was indeed gone, leaving him speechless. This woman meant business; what kind of sin had he committed in a past life to deserve this? Clearly, he hadn't even touched her, merely glanced, is this necessary?
Apparently, this isn't ancient times, right? Where would you find such loyal women?
Right there, behind the door were café umbrellas prepared for guests. These umbrellas were specifically for rainy weather for customer use.
Xiao Tianyu said nothing, grabbed an umbrella impulsively, his silhouette flickered and followed Ye Qingcheng in jumping off.
The crowd below was dumbfounded by the scene.
"Look, someone else jumped too!"
"Wow, what day is it today, Suicide Day?"
"Two big fools, isn't life good?"
"..."
The crowd below fixated on the two jumping figures. However, Xiao Tianyu's body was seemingly heavier, falling at twice Ye Qingcheng's speed, quickly catching up with her.
When Ye Qingcheng thought she was doomed, suddenly, a big hand wrapped around her waist. Her eyes opened wide, seeing a handsome yet indifferent face in her view.
"What's this bastard doing? Dying with me?" Ye Qingcheng was terrified, but the rapid descent didn't allow for much thought.
