Chapter 956

Xu Jiamu lightly bid his goodbye, then silently opened the door and headed out, after closing the door with cautiousness .

Song Xiangsi was the only one left in the room . She sat in front of the dining table, staring at the table full of food . Grabbing onto the spoon, she ate a mouthful of porridge .

It was sweet and just the right temperature, warming her throat . She could no longer hold her tears and allowed them to stream down her face .

Just like in a movie playback, images flashed past her mind, scene by scene .

He held onto the cash, making a deal with her, but when they entered the hotel room he didn't do anything .

He waited with her when her father was in surgery, he knelt down in front of her to massage her ankle .

He promised to act as her boyfriend and had then delighted her father . He didn't mind the dirt, helping her father wash his soiled clothes .

He had always been pampered but willingly slept on the sofa in her house . He willingly made her meals and had even pulled the weeds from her mother's grave .

He tended to all the necessary arrangements when her father passed away, stayed by her, knowing that she was upset .

Late into the night, when she ran out in tears, he was the one who found her, bringing her back home . He guarded her by the side the entire night . Knowing she was afraid of thunder, he had called her countless times to find her . He had even prepared a tombstone for the child he thought was dead . . .

What should she do . . . The more she thought about it, the more tempted she was to give in .

The huge wall that she had struggled to build was starting to crumble .

Song Xiangsi ate the porridge in tears . Then, the next moment, she placed the spoon abruptly and bolted up . Kicking the chair aside, she ran out the door to chase after him without even changing her shoes .

She wanted to go back, she wanted to put Little Red Bean under their two names, she wanted to find a support, she didn't want to go stay in America, she didn't want to be alone anymore . . .

The moment she reached the streets, she saw Xu Jiamu leaving in a cab .

Without hesitation, she ran after the cab .

There was a speed limit on the road so the cab drove slowly, but it still widened the distance between them steadily .

–

The moment Xu Jiamu entered the cab, he shut his eyes .

He always knew he missed her, but only when he met her did he realize how much .

This time, he could only see her because she called, he didn't know when he would meet her again .

Maybe never in this lifetime .

An entire lifetime . . . Xu Jiamu lowered his head, staring at his palms .

Once, he had held onto her hand . . . But in the end, he managed to lose her .

Sorrow clouded his eyes, and he couldn't help turning to look into the rear view mirror . At that moment, his gaze froze .

He stared at the rear mirror for a long moment before seemingly confirming something . He suddenly turned towards the driver . "Stop the car!"

In a hurry, he realized that he had blurted it out in Chinese, so he repeated it in English once more . The driver slammed into the brakes, and before the cab had even fully stopped, Xu Jiamu tossed some money and jumped out .
