My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 757 - 675: Struggle

Facing Huang Shan’s aggressive questioning, Li Li’s heart grew heavy with helplessness and melancholy. He really wanted to drown himself in alcohol, to stop thinking, to avoid facing the harsh reality before him.

"Shut up, don’t say anything."

Grabbing the bottle, he poured wine into his glass. Li Li felt an unbearable pain in his heart, an aching sorrow. He couldn’t recover from the news of Qin Miaomiao’s pregnancy. He even hated himself for not acting sooner, for letting someone else beat him to it.

"Why... why is everything this way..."

Mumbling to himself, Li Li’s heart was far from calm.

Watching him drink excessively, Huang Shan’s mind was flooded with an idea—an idea that gave her pause. But as she saw Li Li gradually succumbing to drunkenness, she mustered up her courage and took him directly to a nearby four-star hotel.

"I like you. I think, deep down, you must like me too. I don’t know what I can do to make you change your mind. I’ve run out of options, so this is all I can do."

She undressed the man, then took a warm towel to wipe his face gently. Starting from his forehead, it traveled down to his chin. Huang Shan felt an unsettling emotion stirring deep in her chest. Her finger lingered on the thin line of Li Li’s lips, brushing back and forth, her heart aching for not just his physical presence, but his love.

"Li Li, why won’t you spare me even a glance? Was the reason you held me back then only because of my looks?"

Feelings cannot be faked, but in this moment, Huang Shan didn’t want to let go of the golden opportunity in front of her. So, she removed her clothes, unfastened her bra, and surrendered herself entirely to the chaos of this drunken encounter.

Feeling the man’s response, Huang Shan couldn’t help but release sounds of pleasure.

Li Li’s half-lidded, drunken eyes were still full of Qin Miaomiao. His hand caressed the woman before him, as if he was seeing Qin Miaomiao in her place. In a surge of emotion, he flipped over and pinned her beneath him.

"Miaomiao... Miaomiao..."

Lost in passion, Huang Shan’s body suddenly stiffened. Hearing the words spill from Li Li’s mouth, she froze entirely. Her heart grew colder and colder, and tears welled up before silently falling from the corners of her eyes. Disappointed and resigned, she shut them tightly.

Hua Tiantian walked absentmindedly with Meng Yan on their way back to the film crew. Neither of them spoke throughout the journey.

"You seem to be in a bad mood."

Realizing she’d been ignoring Meng Yan all along, Hua Tiantian awkwardly stopped in her tracks.

"You don’t have to say it. I understand how I feel."

Seeing her shadow as she paused, Meng Yan felt anything but calm internally. On the surface, however, he maintained his usual gentle demeanor. Turning back to gaze at Hua Tiantian, he noticed her crestfallen expression and couldn’t help but say, "I’ll help figure out who’s behind this."

"No, no need. I don’t want you involved in this matter."

She’d been wanting to bring this up during dinner earlier but hadn’t dared to speak. Now presented with the chance, Hua Tiantian felt it was time to say what was on her mind. She fixed her eyes on Meng Yan, sensing a warm safety with him.

"I’m grateful for what you did for me last time. And I think I’ve figured out who’s targeting me this time. Honestly, before I came here, I was thinking about how revenge only leads to endless bitterness. If she dislikes me enough to smear me, then I retaliate, back and forth—we’ll remain tangled even after the shoot wraps, forever unresolved. I don’t want that."

Meng Yan understood what she was worrying about.

Striding forward, he halted right in front of her. His hesitant hands finally landed on her shoulders as he said, "Hua Tiantian, listen carefully to what I’m about to say."
