My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1048 - 958: Free and Easy

"No need to mind me, I’m merely here for relaxation. Your words alone are quite sufficient."

Xu Jiaojiao appeared downcast, her demeanor in Hua Tiantian’s perception radiating melancholy and profound unhappiness. The connection to Jin Jing was undeniably the root cause, as evident to Hua Tiantian.

Clutching a cocktail, Hua Tiantian approached Xu Jiaojiao, exchanged a knowing glance with Lin Xiaoxiao, and offered, "Try to dismiss unhappy thoughts and focus solely on the joyful ones."

"Tiantian, your life is truly enviable. Simple living brings uncomplicated happiness. I once possessed your same carefree spirit, and I genuinely miss that former self."

With a resolute gaze and a significant expression, Lin Xiaoxiao placed a hand on Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder, sighing softly. "Honestly, you possess more strength than I had imagined. If a man can cause such a massive disruption in our lives, I believe it’s simply not worth it. Consider my situation; I encountered Song Li during a period of happiness, and we choose to disregard each other when we are not."

"Sister Xiao Xiao, you possess far too much leisure time."

Hua Tiantian’s observation caused Lin Xiaoxiao to acknowledge the abundance of free time she had. However, upon further reflection, she considered that having excessive leisure wasn't necessarily a point of pride. Nevertheless, it proved beneficial in her attempts to comfort Xu Jiaojiao.

"I understand your intention to comfort me. However, Xiaoxiao, I sincerely wish for you to find your own happiness. A brief period of cold war might be acceptable, but a prolonged one inflicts considerable damage on a relationship."

At these words, Lin Xiaoxiao perceived Xu Jiaojiao’s earnest stare, and a sense of unease settled upon her. She was acutely aware that a cold war could indeed be detrimental to a relationship, yet neither she nor Song Li were predisposed to yield until the situation became irrevocably broken. Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s gentle reminder prompted a significant alteration in Lin Xiaoxiao’s emotional state.

"Sister Jiaojiao, in my eyes, you have always embodied a person of carefree disposition and cool composure. I continue to cherish that carefree version of you."

The significance of Hua Tiantian’s words resonated deeply with Xu Jiaojiao, causing her mood to become even more somber. She was acutely aware of her current state, prompting her to raise her glass and declare, "I shall refrain from dwelling on distressing matters. In the future, I will remain my true self, living for my own well-being and refusing to be disheartened by others. Let us offer a toast, to a new beginning."

Abruptly, the atmosphere transformed, and a touch of haziness clouded the eyes of both Lin Xiaoxiao and Hua Tiantian. Observing the radiant smile gracing Xu Jiaojiao’s face, they found themselves uplifted by her joy, and soon their glasses were clinking in unison with hers.

"From this moment forward, I shall dedicate myself to pursuing my own life and will no longer succumb to sadness."

Xu Jiaojiao’s prolonged gloom had persisted for nearly two weeks, and she harbored a significant dislike for the person she had become. If she could not even cultivate self-love, how could she possibly expect others to perceive her in a favorable light? This profound realization dawned upon her with sudden clarity.

"In truth, Qin Miaomiao harbors genuine concern for you. She expressed considerable anxiety when discussing you during our last conversation."

A slightly inebriated Lin Xiaoxiao leaned in, whispering into Xu Jiaojiao’s ear.

A shared private moment unfolded between the two, their smiles communicating volumes. As friends bound by a long history, no elaborate explanations were necessary; a simple glance sufficed to convey their mutual understanding.

At that precise instant, Qin Miaomiao had just returned to the estate. After ensuring her three beloved little ones were settled, she quietly retreated to her room, completely unaware of the man concealed behind the door who would embrace her from behind the moment she entered.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Qin Miaomiao felt the secure embrace of the man’s arms, a helpless smile gracing her features. A whirlwind of thoughts occupied her mind as she gazed intently at the man, a subtle ache beginning to develop in her neck.
