Chapter 801

"Young master, madam doesn't want to see you right now . It'd be better if you weren't here . It'd save us from making her condition worse . "

Xu Jiamu said, "Aunt Yun, take good care of her for me . I'll wait for her condition to stabilize before I come back another day to see her . "

He left the hospital, but he wasn't in a hurry to get in the car . He leaned against the car’s door and lit up a cigarette . He raised his head and looked over at Han Ruchu in the patient's room .

The wind in Beijing during early spring was cold as usual . It brought a bone-chilling cold with it .

Xu Jiamu's fingers were freezing when he finished his cigarette .

He threw its butt into the bin beside him, and rubbed his hands . He was just about to open the car door when the phone in his pocket rang .

He paused for a moment, then pulled his phone out to see the name flashing on the screen . Suddenly, he dazed out .

The phone vibrated in his hand for a long time before Xu Jiamu accepted the call . He held his breath, as he put the phone to his ear, and licked his lips . "What's up?"

The other side was silent for a moment, then came Lu Jinnian's voice . "Do you have time at six?"

"Yeah . "

"Want to have dinner together?"

"Alright," responded Xu Jiamu . He then asked, "The old spot?"

"En," Lu Jinnian replied quietly .

The two of them instantly fell silent . Then after a while, Xu Jiamu heard two knocks at the door through the phone, followed by an assistant's reminder, "Mr . Lu, the meeting's about to start . "

"Busy?" asked Xu Jiamu first . With that, he raised his foot and kicked the car tire . "You're busy . Let's talk tonight . "

"Alright," Lu Jinnian replied with one word . Moments after, he hung up

Xu Jiamu put his phone away and stood by his car for some time, before eventually pulling the car door open . He got in and drove away .

–

Lu Jinnian was terribly absent-minded in the afternoon's meeting . Every now and then, his mind drifted off to the love letter . When it came time for him to speak up, he stumbled a few times, his mind blanking out .

The meeting was over by five . Lu Jinnian let his assistant off early, before he went to the office and gave Qiao Anhao a call to report back to her . He then went into the washroom in the office to change into a set of sports clothes . He grabbed his car keys and went downstairs .

They were meant to meet at six, but Lu Jinnian arrived at their meeting point at 5 . 50 pm .

It was a privately-owned restaurant by the national stadium . The lady boss was really friendly . Though there weren't many customers, the restaurant had returning ones . The only reason Lu Jinnian knew about it was because Xu Jiamu had taken him there .

He parked the car . When he pushed open the door to the restaurant, there wasn't a single customer . The lady boss, who stood at the front desk, immediately put down the calculator, raised her head and shot a dazzling smile at him . "Mr . Lu, you're here? Mr . Xu has already arrived . He's been waiting for you at your favorite table . "

Lu Jinnian gave a nod .

The lady boss walked around the front desk and escorted him inside, saying, "Mr . Lu, you haven't come to eat here for quite some time now, yet Mr . Xu comes often . But every time he comes, he comes alone . I even asked him why you're not here, but he always just repeats you're busy . "

Lu Jinnian let out an "En", as his eyes fell to where Xu Jiamu was sitting . He must of waited for a while, considering that there were two empty bottles of alcohol in front of him .

"Mr . Xu, Mr . Lu has arrived . " With the lady boss' words, Lu Jinnian elegantly removed his thick jacket and pulled out the chair in front of Xu Jiamu .
