My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 764 - 682: Unwilling to Give Up

Huang Shan took the initiative to go to Li Li’s company—she simply couldn’t let it go! Even though the receptionist blocked her outside, she stubbornly waited in the nearby lounge.

Without realizing it, an hour had passed. Just when she thought she wouldn’t be able to see Li Li, he appeared. Anxious and excited, she rushed over and blocked his path.

"I need to talk to you."

Li Li glanced down at her coldly, completely indifferent, and snorted. "You want to see me? I don’t have time."

"Please, I’m begging you. I really have something important to say."

Li Li thought about it and agreed. The two of them went to a popular bar.

"Say whatever you want."

Li Li didn’t want to waste time and certainly didn’t want to spend much of his energy on Huang Shan. Watching her nervously holding her drink, he delivered his blunt demand.

"If you’re here to explain the things you’ve done that shouldn’t have been done, you’d better not bother."

Huang Shan had indeed come with the intention of explaining the situation with Hua Tiantian. But now, seeing how unwilling Li Li was to listen, her heart sank halfway. She already knew he wouldn’t want to hear her out, yet she couldn’t find a reason to convince herself to let it go. She hastily began speaking anyway.

"I know that explaining things now is too late. But if she hadn’t provoked me, I definitely wouldn’t have gone after her first. Why can’t you just listen to my explanation properly?"

"I’ll give you time. If what you say turns out to be pointless, you can leave."

Li Li’s mood wasn’t good. If it hadn’t been for his boredom being alone and his desire to drink, he wouldn’t have agreed to come out with Huang Shan. Ready to leave, he stood up.

"Wait. Fine, I won’t bring this up anymore. But I want to know—between my face and your new lover’s face, which one do you truly care about? I want answers."

Li Li found Huang Shan’s words to be absurdly childish. He couldn’t fathom why she’d think this way. Her question even struck him as laughable. Sitting back down, he picked up his glass, swirled the ice cubes inside nonchalantly, and replied, "A face is just a face. What does it matter?"

After saying this, he downed his drink in one gulp.

The words hit Huang Shan’s heart like a blow. She couldn’t bear them—Li Li’s indifference made her feel deeply resentful, unwilling to accept being replaced like this. Fixing her eyes on him, she said, "Li Li, I’ve always liked you; you know that. I’m not asking you to like me back, but at the very least, I hoped you’d have me in your heart, that you’d care about me. But it turns out the only thing you liked about me was my face."

As soon as these words left her mouth, Li Li’s expression changed. He squinted his eyes, a hazy smile appearing on his lips as he stared at her. To his surprise, her words cut straight to the truth—triggering him to recall something he’d just found out.

"Is it because my face resembles someone you knew? Is that it?"

Faced with Huang Shan’s aggressive questioning, a wave of helplessness and melancholy stirred deep within Li Li. All he wanted was to drown himself in alcohol, escape his thoughts, and avoid confronting the reality before him.

"Shut up. Stop talking."

Pouring more liquor into his glass, Li Li was clearly distressed, his heart heavy with sorrow. He couldn’t shake off the news of Qin Miaomiao’s pregnancy—it gnawed at him relentlessly. More than anything, he hated himself for not acting sooner, letting someone else get ahead of him.

"Why... why does everything have to be like this..."

Li Li slurred his words, unable to find peace within himself.

Watching him drink excessively, an idea brewed in Huang Shan’s mind—a bold, dangerous idea that made her hesitate. But as he grew more intoxicated, her courage swelled. Finally, with Li Li thoroughly drunk, she summoned her nerve and took him directly to a nearby four-star hotel.
