Chapter 1048 - 958: Free and Easy
"You don’t have to mind me, I’m just here to relax. Just listening to you talk is enough."Xu Jiaojiao seemed dispirited. In Hua Tiantian’s eyes, she was filled with melancholy and looked very unhappy. Thinking of Jin Jing, it was obvious to her what was causing the unhappiness.
Holding a cocktail, she walked over to Xu Jiaojiao, exchanged a glance with Lin Xiaoxiao, and said, "Don’t think about unhappy things, just focus on happy ones."
"Tiantian, I really envy you. Living simply brings simple happiness. I used to be as carefree as you, and I really miss the old me."
With a firm look in her eyes and a meaningful expression, Lin Xiaoxiao patted Xu Jiaojiao’s shoulder and sighed softly, "Actually, you’re stronger than I imagined. If a man causes a huge impact on our lives, I think it’s not worth it. Look at me, I meet Song Li when I’m happy, and we ignore each other when we’re not."
"Sister Xiao Xiao, you’re too free."
Hua Tiantian’s comment made Lin Xiaoxiao realize that she really was quite free. But on reflection, she thought being too free wasn’t something to boast about. However, in comforting Xu Jiaojiao, it had its advantages.
"I know you’re trying to comfort me. But, Xiaoxiao, I hope you find happiness. A few days of the cold war is okay, but a prolonged one really hurts a relationship."
At these words, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed Xu Jiaojiao’s serious gaze and felt uneasy. She knew well that a cold war could hurt a relationship, but neither she nor Song Li were the type to back down until things were irrevocable. Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s reminder caused a huge shift in her mood.
"Sister Jiaojiao, in my eyes, you’ve always been a carefree and cool person. I still like the carefree you."
Hua Tiantian’s words held a special meaning for Xu Jiaojiao, making her mood even heavier. She was well aware of her current state, so she raised her glass and said, "I won’t think about unhappy things. I’ll still be me in the future, living for myself and not getting upset for others. Come, let’s toast, to a new life."
Suddenly, the atmosphere lifted, and both Lin Xiaoxiao and Hua Tiantian’s eyes turned a bit hazy. Watching the smile on Xu Jiaojiao’s face, they were infected by it too, and soon their glasses clinked together with hers.
"From now on, I’ll strive for my own life and won’t be sad again."
Xu Jiaojiao’s gloomy mood had lasted for almost two weeks, and she didn’t like the person she had become. If she couldn’t even love herself, how could she expect anyone else to see her positively? With this realization, she suddenly got it.
"Actually, Qin Miaomiao is really worried about you. She was quite anxious when she talked about you last time."
A slightly drunk Lin Xiaoxiao leaned into Xu Jiaojiao’s ear as she spoke.
The two of them shared a private moment, exchanging smiles. As long-time friends, they didn’t need explanations, just a glance to know what was on each other’s minds.
At that moment, Qin Miaomiao had just returned to the estate. After checking on her three little treasures, she quietly returned to her room, not expecting to be held from behind by the man hiding behind the door as soon as she entered.
"You scared me to death!"
Qin Miaomiao felt the strength of the man’s arms, a helpless smile covering her face. She had many different thoughts inside her, as she gazed intently at the man, her neck gradually feeling a twinge.
