Chapter 953
Back then, she was so ruthless, and never thought of leaving any leeway between them . If they started again now, she would be the first to turn her back on him .
In Beijing, she was actually tempted a few times .
Perhaps because she was old now, she had lost a little of her impulsiveness and courage .
Just like now, she really wanted to give him a call, and yet she . . .
At that thought, Song Xiangsi suddenly heard the doot-doot sound from the phone, and snapped back to her senses . Then, she heard a familiar voice . "Hello?"
Her eyes quivered when she realized that she had unthinkingly called Xu Jiamu's number .
"May I ask who's calling?" The sound of Xu Jiamu came from the phone again .
Song Xiangsi involuntarily wanted to hang up, but that's when she heard him speak again . This time, his voice sounded a little gloomy . "Xiangsi?"
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, as she held her phone, not knowing what to do .
"Xiangsi, it's you, right?" As Xu Jiamu spoke again, she heard the sound of him getting up from his bed . She raised her head and glanced over at the clock on the wall . At three in the afternoon in America, it was deep in the night in China .
Did she wake him up?
Xu Jiamu was very patient . He wasn't the least bit annoyed that she called but didn't want to say a thing . Over the phone, it sounded like he lit a cigarette and blew faint rings of smoke . Then he spoke again with his captivating voice . "Why did you call and now aren't saying anything?
"Did something happen?
"Are you listening? Xiangsi?"
With great difficulty, Song Xiangsi held back her tears from falling . She tried hard to control her emotions, but she still managed to crack a sob . She was afraid that Xu Jiamu would find out something was wrong . Without a second thought, she quickly hung up .

Repeatedly, her phone rang . It was Xu Jiamu calling, but she didn't pick up the call . She just shrank into the sofa, and stared at her flashing phone screen .
Xu Jiamu called about a dozen times, before he finally stopped .
The room fell particularly quiet . Song Xiangsi helplessly put her head between her knees .

At nine in the evening, her eyes started to swell up . She gave Jiang Licheng a call and told him not to bring Little Red Bean back today .
At night, she nestled in bed on her own, watching TV to almost one in the morning, before she groggily fell asleep .
The next day, when it was light out, she was woken up by a knock at the door . When she climbed out of bed, she stretched yesterday's graze . The pain abruptly woke her up . She thought Little Red Bean might've started to cry and had a tantrum for being away from her for too long, so Jiang Licheng sent her back . With that, she hurriedly ran out, quickly opened the door, and cried out "Little Red Bean", but saw a worn out Xu Jiamu at the door .
Her eyes flashed with disbelief . Gaping slightly, she stared at the man outside the door . After a long while, she forced out, "How are you here?"
Xu Jiamu didn't answer her questions but looked her up and down . "Did something happen to you?"
