My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1087 - 997: Meeting
Previously on My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious...
"I'm not sure how to make a choice..."
Suddenly, an intense pain gripped Mu Sha's chest, causing her to lean her forehead against the steering wheel, struggling to breathe.
Yan Lv, occupied with a crucial meeting, experienced a sudden acceleration in his heartbeat. He found himself inexplicably anxious, the reason eluding him. Glancing at his subordinates, he signaled for his secretary to continue the presentation before excusing himself to the restroom.
"This is strange, what is going on with me?"
He splashed cold water on his face, attempting to clear his muddled thoughts. The fleeting discomfort left him deeply uneasy, and the more he dwelled on it, the more pronounced the feeling became. His mind raced through various possibilities, ultimately settling on Mu Sha.
"My brain must be playing tricks on me; she's surely at the lab right now."
Yan Lv couldn't shake off his mounting concern, feeling as though he would suffocate if he didn't get answers soon. He checked his watch, resolving to leave work early, cancel all pending social engagements, and have a heart-to-heart with Mu Sha.
With newfound determination, Yan Lv yearned to see Mu Sha immediately. Recalling the ongoing meeting, he tidied his appearance and exited the restroom.
Jin Jing received a message from Yan Lv, and he too felt a wave of puzzlement.
Regardless of Meng Chengjun's seemingly simple background, it was inconceivable that nothing significant had occurred. Having lived twenty years without any major transgressions, it suggested either a deliberate suppression of truths or underlying issues. Pondering this, Jin Jing sensed something was indeed amiss.
When Yan Lv's call went unanswered, Jin Jing opted to edit a message and send it over. He then hesitated before placing a call to Meng Chengjun, intending to find a pretext to probe her further.
"Let's have dinner together. We'll meet at the entrance of New Heaven and Earth in an hour."
Meng Chengjun dressed with meticulous care, accentuating her best features. She contemplated applying mascara but decided a more natural look might garner greater empathy from Jin Jing. With subtle makeup, she departed her apartment.
"Taxi! To New Heaven and Earth, please."
Jin Jing arrived at New Heaven and Earth ahead of schedule. He refrained from exiting his vehicle, instead switching off the engine and waiting for Meng Chengjun's arrival. Within ten minutes, her silhouette came into view.
Noticing she was wearing flat shoes yet again, Jin Jing's perspective shifted subtly. Having previously contemplated the finer details of Meng Chengjun's persona, he identified numerous inconsistencies.
"It's about time. If he doesn't show up soon, I'll start getting anxious."
Twenty minutes elapsed as Jin Jing remained still in his car, observing Meng Chengjun. Concerned about his car being recognized, he had parked a considerable distance away in a less conspicuous spot. He watched her repeatedly check her phone and make a brief call, realizing she was growing impatient.
"Now you understand how frustrating it is to wait for someone else."
Jin Jing alighted from the car, approaching Meng Chengjun from behind. He deliberately slowed his pace as he called out her name.
Meng Chengjun turned, her pupils widening as she looked at Jin Jing. Her gaze softened, and she squinted at him, remarking, "If you don't come soon, I'm going to find a place to sit. I'm not tired, but he is."
As Meng Chengjun gestured towards her stomach, Jin Jing felt an overwhelming, indescribable emotion wash over him. A sense of unease permeated his entire being. Meeting her gaze intently, he squinted and said, "Let's find somewhere to sit. We should go inside first."
