My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 749 - 667: Seeking but Not Acquiring

Having one black-hearted shell after another is really meaningless.

However, the thing you desperately want is always out of reach.

He picked up his glass and drank one cup after another.

"Why are you drinking so much? If you want to see her so badly, just go talk to her. I think you’re just scared, huh?"

Mo Wenwan was provoking him. To be honest, she quite admired Li Li, but this man was incredibly hard to get close to.

She had tried, but alas, he wouldn’t take the bait. And his words always hinted that she should focus on her proper work.

Even that bitch Huang Shan, he was willing to sleep with her, but he wouldn’t sleep with Mo Wenwan.

Who knows if he’s genuinely upright or just faking it.

Especially the way he looked at Qin Miaomiao—that yearning gaze. Jealousy, like a venomous snake, coiled deep in Mo Wenwan’s heart and quietly reared its head.

She gave his arm a tug: "Go say hi. You’re acquaintances, after all."

Li Li let her drag him over.

"Miss Qin, Brother Qing, congratulations to you both! I didn’t expect Miss Qin to disappear for so long—I was constantly thinking about you. Turns out you were hiding away for pregnancy and childbirth. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Qin Miaomiao glanced at her, wondering who had invited her here.

She clearly remembered Mo Wenwan purposely causing trouble for Yaoguang Entertainment. However, a guest was a guest; Qin Miaomiao’s expression remained composed.

Li Li raised his glass to Qin Miaomiao and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you. I apologize for not being a better host."

"No need for politeness. By the way, where are the children? Might I take a look at them?"

Qin Miaomiao hadn’t expected Li Li to request to see the children. There were so many people here, and she naturally didn’t want to bring the children out.

Mo Wenwan chimed in with a smile: "Right, since it’s a full-month celebration, why not bring the children out? I’ve never seen triplets before. It’d be a blessing for all of us to share in the joy."

Lu Qing’s face darkened, and voices echoed around the room:

"Yes, let’s see the Lu Family’s little young masters! It’d be a treat for us all!"

Some were just looking for entertainment, while others were genuinely curious. Over a hundred people filled the room, each face showing a different expression, none betraying the hidden thoughts underneath.

If the children were truly brought out, who would hold them? And if something went wrong, what then?

As their mother, Qin Miaomiao didn’t want anyone touching her children. Her expression gradually cooled.

Lu Qing placed his arm around her shoulder. It was clear he didn’t want it either.

Just then, an authoritative voice rose from the crowd.

"Little Jin’er, bring the children out."

"Ninth Uncle."

Mr. Jiu sat in the main hall, dressed in a traditional Tang suit, accompanied by the heads of three major families. Only individuals of such lofty status were qualified to sit with him in the same space.

His gaze swept across the room, sending chills down everyone’s spine. His words came out slowly but firmly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you’re welcome to hold the children, but if anything happens to them, you should weigh the consequences yourselves."

With that single warning, anyone harboring ulterior motives immediately quashed their thoughts.

In a crowd this diverse, daring to hold or tease one of the babies—if one slipped or anything untoward happened—it would spell disaster. Who’d want to bring such trouble upon themselves?

The Ninth Master of the Su Family and Lu Qing of the Lu Family—either one of them was bad news to cross! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

If someone dared to tamper with the children, they’d be the ones to take the fall. What could anyone do then?

One by one, those who had been itching to act quietly backed off.

"The children are still so little; it’s better to let them rest."

"Yes, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to see them in the future. Let’s skip it for today. But honestly, Ninth Master is the luckiest of all—all at once, he gained three grandchildren."
