Chapter 906
Before Xu Jiamu got into the car, he stopped as though having realized something . With his head slightly lowered, he said to Song Xiangsi, "I changed my mind . I don't need you to spend three days and nights with me . I just need two hours at eight on Sunday at the Four Seasons hotel . "
After he said this, he bent down and got into the taxi . The taxi drove off before Song Xiangsi could snap back to her senses .

The next day after after blood donation, Xu Jiamu lay groggily in bed with a fever all day . It was not until nightfall that his temperature fell .
He was still a little weak after he ate some food, but he wasn't the least bit sleepy . He was the only one in the villa, and the silence left him a little flustered .
When Song Xiangsi was back in America, he would often feel lonely, but now that she was back and he was in the same city, he felt even more lonely .
Xu Jiamu smoked two cigarettes, then walked into the study room . Since he hadn't been in the office for a day, there were dozens of emails in his inbox . He sat in front of his desk and looked through them one by one . When he finished working, it was already 5 am in the morning . He took a shower, and then drove to a random breakfast cafe for some food, then went to the office .
There was a tall pile of documents on his desk . He sat down and started to read through them, as though he didn't know what tiredness meant . He waited for people to come to work one after the other . He signed all the documents . Next, the secretary had to give him a run down of the day's schedule . Then, he had a meeting, and lunch . . . All in all, he was so busy the entire day, he had no time for a breather .
Xu Jiamu and Song Xiangsi didn't see each other after the day he donated his blood, nor did either of them take the initiative to contact the other .
That weekend, Xu Jiamu was alone in the office, working overtime for two days . It was not until six o'clock in the evening on Sunday that his phone reminder alarm started to ring . He saw the three words: Evening, 8 PM .
Xu Jiamu stared at those words for a long time, but eventually flipped his phone over and continued to work on his computer, all the way until twenty past seven . He then shut down his computer and cleaned up his things, then walked out the door .
It was twenty to eight when he reached the Four Seasons hotel . He booked a room, yet he wasn't in a hurry to go up . Instead, he waited in the lobby for about twenty minutes . At six past eight, he finally saw Song Xiangsi's car parked at the entrance of the hotel .
She stepped into the hotel lobby . Xu Jiamu waited until she noticed him before he got up and silently walked up to the elevators .
Song Xiangsi kept to about five meter distance behind him .
The elevator doors opened . Without even bothering with her, Xu Jiamu headed right towards his room . He swiped his card, pushed open the door, and walked in .
Seconds later, Song Xiangsi followed him in . She stood at the door for a while, before gently closing it .
Xu Jiamu sat sluggishly down on the sofa, then casually turned on the TV . After a while, he saw Song Xiangsi still standing at the entrance . He then turned the TV's volume down . Without thinking before he spoke, he suddenly asked, "Does your husband know that you're in a room with another man?"
When she heard his taunt, her usual arrogant eyes turned dark and she slightly lowered her head .
Xu Jiamu's mood grew increasingly more annoyed when he saw that look on her face . He turned his head and wouldn't stop clicking the remote control, changing the channels . In his head, he thought back to how similar this scene was to the first night they'd spent together many years ago .
