My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 867 - 786: Growing Ambiguity

"Song Li, from the beginning, your attitude towards apologizing was all wrong. You obviously did something wrong and hurt our relationship, yet you apologize with arrogance. And this is my workplace, I am an actress; have you never thought that your impulsiveness might interfere with my work?"

Lin Xiaoxiao’s words couldn’t have been clearer. Song Li suddenly realized he came for nothing and glared at her angrily, saying, "Fine, you win! Today is a wasted trip for me!"

Watching him storm out in anger, Lin Xiaoxiao felt as if all her strength had been sapped away.

Her assistant saw Song Li leave in a huff and worriedly returned to the lounge. Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao’s forlorn expression, she couldn’t help but show her concern: "Sister Xiao Xiao, I just saw Mr. Song leave."

"If the words don’t match, what good is it to meet face-to-face?"

As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she clutched her chest, feeling as if she could hardly breathe.

Song Li’s appearance made her realize one thing more clearly.

The feelings between two people cannot withstand outside temptations nor the intentional sabotage of others. More than once afterward, she questioned how she happened to witness that scene, and the timing was so precise that it left her unsure of how to suspect those around her.

"You know what? He’s really immature; he doesn’t understand how much pressure I’m under."

"Sister Xiao Xiao, don’t think about it. I’ll get you some water."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a void in her heart, an unusual sense of loss that left her unfocused. She had always kept work and personal life very separate, which was one reason why Song Li found it unacceptable; his macho attitude easily suffocated people, worsening her mood.

"What did you say? Song Li went to the set today?"

Upon receiving the tip-off call from Lin Xiaoxiao’s assistant, Qin Miaomiao’s mood shifted significantly. She thought the two had reconciled long ago, but now it seemed there was still some distance to go.

"Tell me everything that happened, in detail."

After hearing the whole story, Qin Miaomiao showed a tense expression; she didn’t expect Song Li to be more immature than she had imagined. Moreover, it was evident that Lin Xiaoxiao had genuine feelings for Song Li.

However, there were obviously significant issues between them that Lin Xiaoxiao could no longer ignore.

"I understand. Don’t let Xiao Xiao know you called me."

Squinting her eyes, she pulled out the movie script and carefully reviewed the day’s shooting schedule, feeling a bit concerned.

"I wonder if Xiao Xiao can handle her emotions well."

Quickly, Qin Miaomiao’s attention was diverted by the two people coming in. She took the files handed to her and frowned deeply, "Are these all?"

"Yes, I’ve screened them, and these remaining ones are quite distinctive. I’ll leave the final selection to President Qin."

Qin Miaomiao nodded and, with a complex expression, said, "You may leave."

Originally, there wasn’t a grand plan to collect novels, yet in just two short days, many had been received. After screening, those remaining were laid out before her. She opened her notebook, looking at the previously packed schedule, bit her lip, and concluded that overtime was the only way to review these novels.

"The lights in President Qin’s office are all on."

"I guess Qin is working overtime today."

An assistant heard them whispering nearby, glanced at the darkening sky outside, stood up, and knocked on the office door.

"Come in."
