My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1044 - 954: Are You Free Tonight?

Xu Jiaojiao was yearning for a moment of quiet when her phone suddenly rang.

"Let's hang out this weekend and have some fun. Tian Tian just called me, asking if you are available." Lin Xiaoxiao stated her intentions immediately. Xu Jiaojiao understood that her current condition wasn't ideal for being alone, yet she hesitated to reveal her vulnerable state to her friends. She had always admired Lin Xiaoxiao's unreserved nature but found herself entangled in emotional turmoil, realizing with a pang that she disliked this version of herself.

"I just finished filming a scene. I'll check my schedule once I've rested and call you back."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll await your response tonight."

Xu Jiaojiao sank into deep contemplation, pondering Jin Jing's current activities. Was he accompanying Yue Chengjun to her prenatal check-ups? The mere notion of them being perceived as a couple sent a wave of heartache through her.

"Hmm..."

Her assistant, noticing Xu Jiaojiao's somber mood, inquired with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm quite alright."

Xu Jiaojiao was making a concerted effort to maintain her dignity, aspiring to be more carefree. If she ultimately couldn't hold onto Jin Jing and their relationship was destined to end unfavorably, she felt she had only one recourse.

For three consecutive days, Jin Jing had been seeking solace in a bar. Had it not been for Meng Yan's intervention, his drinking might have continued indefinitely. The overwhelming feeling of being caught between two women was unbearable; he desperately sought to avoid conflict between them and was constantly searching for an appropriate resolution. At long last, he conceived a plan that even surprised him.

He decided to reinvestigate every detail concerning Yue Chengqun, including the child she was carrying.

"Indeed, Lu Qing was correct; relying solely on the woman's account might not uncover the complete truth. Upon careful recollection, there remain inconsistencies. I cannot distinctly recall the events of that particular night; perhaps there's an alternative explanation."

Though the possibility was faint, Jin Jing clung to a sliver of hope in his heart. He thought of an individual with extensive connections in such matters and promptly contacted Yan Lv.

"I have something of great importance to discuss with you in person. Do you have any availability this evening?"

Within the exclusive confines of a private club, Jin Jing sat in quiet anticipation, awaiting the arrival of the person he intended to meet. As he pondered his strategy, he began to second-guess himself, feeling the approach might be somewhat inappropriate. Just then, his intended contact appeared, instantly capturing Jin Jing's attention and drawing him back to the present moment.

"I am aware that you are occupied, and I do not wish to impose. However, you are the only one capable of assisting me with this."

With an anxious expression, he fixed his gaze upon Yan Lv and proceeded to elucidate the situation.

Observing Jin Jing, Yan Lv's thoughts momentarily drifted to other matters. He contemplated the situation seriously, suddenly recognizing the striking similarity between Jin Jing's current predicament and his own past experiences. Reflecting on Mu Sha, he couldn't suppress a frown.

"That is the entirety of the matter. I have laid bare my vulnerabilities before you."

Jin Jing spoke, a sense of defeat coloring his words.

Yan Lv, noting Jin Jing's crestfallen demeanor, experienced a fleeting moment of disorientation before firmly stating, "Cease your words. I shall personally undertake a thorough investigation for you."

Receiving such an unambiguous affirmation, Jin Jing's eyes betrayed a hint of bewildered resignation. "Your directness is remarkably unexpected," he remarked earnestly. "What have you been occupied with recently? I haven't seen you and your wife together in some time; perhaps we could arrange a dinner soon."

"She is currently unavailable; her schedule has been exceedingly demanding as of late."
