100 years before Divorce - Chapter 211

“This crazy lady!” Guan Xian pushed Xia Sha away in urge and turned around in a swift motion. He grabbed Wen Rou’s wrist and paralyzed her movement by kicking her knee.

“AHHH! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!” Wen Rou goes beserk as she wailed in pain.

“DON’T HURT MY DAUGHTER!” Wen Du Jiao shouted. His face turned pale as he watches the messy scene. He is so angry that he could not move or do anything right now.

“MOM!” Xia Xiang’s shouted from upstairs as she rushed down the floor.

Xia Qi Feng and Ji Cun Xi instantly come over and help Guan Xian to hold onto Wen Rou. Of a sudden, everything turned into a mess. Xia Sha’s heart dropped when she saw blood running on Guan Xian’s back. Her body trembles as her eyes darted to Pang Ze Tian.

“Tell the driver to prepare the car, NOW!” Xia Qi Feng shouted to the stunned maid on Pang Ze Tian’s side.

Xia Sha felt everything was ringing in her ear until she runs to Guan Xian and grabs his hand. With a slightly shaken voice, she probes a question, “Are you okay, let’s go to the hospital.”

“I-” Guan Xian was stunned by Xia Sha’s worried face. He was just about to say he is alright, but then he swallowed back his words and nodded his head.

“Yeah, Xia Sha, take Guan Xian to the hospital first. Father will stay here and clean this mess,” Xia Qi Feng frowned at Wen Du Jiao, Wen Rou, and He Jin Nan, that seems to lost his soul.

“Yeah, Let’s go to the hospital. It’s painful,” Guan Xian groaned exaggeratedly.

Ji Cun Xi: “…” Bro, your acting is too palpable.

And so Xia Sha rides Guan Xian to the hospital while the driver and Xia Xiang escorted Pang Ze Tian. While Xia Sha drives the car with a stiff expression, Guan Xian seems to be enjoying the emotion and affection from her. He casually laid his back on the seat and humming in a low tone.

“Are you okay?” Xia Sha turned to him with a concerned expression every two minutes.

Mischievous smiles appear on Guan Xian’s handsome face. He tilted his head and shook his head slowly. “It’s hurt, but I felt better because you take care of me.”

“You still have time to joke around? I am serious now!” Xia Sha scolded him as she frowned. Her forehead creased in displeasure. Guan Xian chuckled when he heard Xia Sha’s response. He lifted his hand and patted Xia Sha’s head.

Being cared for by someone you love must be one of the sweetest things in this world. That is because you could see the love they express with their action and words. Even if his back were a bit sore right now, Guan Xian felt it was worth it.

Initially, he wanted to enjoy Xia Sha’s worried face a little longer. But his heart softened when he felt the pressure she put upon herself.

“Don’t be scared. I am fine,” Guan Xian tried to calm her down.

Xia Sha turned to him slowly and saw the reassuring smile. Guan Xian just realized the rims of Xia Sha’s eyes were slightly red when their eyes meet. Her whole body is trembling still as she shows a glistening something in the depths of her eyes.

She looks so vulnerable, yet she refuses to appear weak. Guan Xian felt a bittersweet inside his heart. He reaches out to Xia Sha’s hand and holds it gently, “I am okay. We don’t even need to go to the hospital. The wound is not that severe.”

Guan Xian’s remarks got ignored by Xia Sha. He had no choice but to let the doctor checked his wound. Xia Sha was standing on his side all the time as she listens to the doctor’s word carefully.

“It would be okay in days. Just make sure you apply for the medicine and don’t let the water touch the wound,” the doctor said to Xia Sha.

“Do he need to get hospitalized? Will, it left marks?”

“I don’t think leaving mark wouldn’t be a concern to Mr.Guan here,” the doctor patted Guan Xian’s shoulder with a meaningful expression.

“Uncle Dong, what do you mean? Of course, I need to keep my bareback smooth and clean. Do you have something so it wouldn’t leave a mark?” Guan Xian showed a pressed smile at the doctor.

“Xiao Xian, Don’t lie too much to your future wife. Can’t you see how worried she is right now? Tsk Tsk,” The doctor or uncle Dong clicked his tongue before he walked away.

He left Guan Xian speechless while Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow.

“You lie to me?” Xia Sha remains silent but looked at Guan Xian rather subtly.

“Damn Uncle Dong!” Guan Xian cursed under his breath. What should he do to his father’s old friend? Would it be impolite to make him suffer a little bit…?

Being silently stared at Xia Sha’s cold and intense eyes made Guan Xian’s hair stands on the end. He let out a dried laugh before he reached Xia Sha’s hand and pulled her inwardly to him.

“It’s not like that. Don’t listen to Uncle Dong’s nonsense. He is my father’s old friend. They a mutual love and hate relationship towards each other.”

Xia Sha’s countenance turned even queerer than before after she heard Guan Xian’s lame excuses. Knowing her suspicion, Guan Xian smiles gently. There is a sign of resignation displayed between his eyebrow. He puts his hand on his shirt, lifting it.

“Eh? What are you doing?” Xia Sha suddenly panicked and taken a step back from him.

“I wanted to show you my back. What do you think I want to do in this place?” Guan Xian tilted his head and moved his eyes around the curtain that give them some privacy.

Xia Sha was flushed red, but she played it cool by averting her gaze and clear his throat. She blinks several times before she said, “Well, go on.”

Guan Xian’s left lips curled up into a smirk. He wiggles his eyebrow to tease Xia Sha. Xia Sha ignored him, but the guy got stuck because of the wound on his back.

“Well, I might need some hands,” Guan Xian raised his eyebrow at Xia Sha.

Xia Sha slightly jolted before her mouth twitched. She clenches her teeth and moves around Guan Xian. Her heart started to race as her fingertips touched his shirt.

The room fell quiet as Xia Sha slowly pulled Guan Xian’s shirt up. A cool gleam filled Guan Xian’s eyes when he felt a jolt of electricity all over his nerve as Xia Sha’s dainty finger touch his back.

“What happened?” Xia Sha’s gasp sound restrained as her trembling fingertips touched one of many scars on Guan Xian’s back.

Xia Sha would never think under those flawless skin Guan Xian hides so many scars on his back. There is nothing about him that speaks violent, but-

“How do you get these scars?”

Guan Xian could felt Xia Sha’s intense gaze on his back as he replied honestly, “That time when I asked you to accompany Xia Sha, we are actually on a mission to save Wang Kai’s aunty. That’s nothing new. We trained with professionals ever since we are kids. Even Xiao Ni had her training. But as the man of the house, I pushed myself to trained harder.”

Xia Sha was silent for a long time after she heard Guan Xian’s long explanation. Guan Xian did not rush her to respond. He gives her time to complement and adjusting herself to the situation.

Guan Xian could felt Xia Sha’s intense gaze on his back for a long time. But it surprised him when he felt two soft arms circled his neck and a hot breath in his neck. He titled to his right shoulder and brushed Xia Sha’s cheek with her lips.

“Don’t be hurt again, will you?” Xia Sha suddenly asked with a very soft voice. Guan Xian’s heartfelt ticklish as he listens to her.

“Why? There is a lot of things that aren’t in my control. I could not promise you that.”

Guan Xian did not want to lie. He had several agenda and probabilities scenarios where he might get hurt in the future. Of course, he could hide it from Xia Sha if he wanted, but he decided to be transparent and honest with her. He won’t give her empty promises.

Xia Sha seems to think for a long time as her beautiful eyes looked at Guan Xian’s perfectly sculpted face. There are lines of disappointment on her lips as she meekly said, “Even when I marry you?”

Her questions caused a hint of smiles playing on Guan Xian’s face, intrigued by her words.

“Will you marry me today if I promise you?”

Xia Sha’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement and relief when she heard his negotiation.

“That is not a difficult demand at all. Fine, I will marry you today,” Xia Sha murmured and moved inwardly closer to Guan Xian’s neck.

Guan Xian look completely confounded as he heard her answer. He felt someone almost dropped his heart to the cold ground but then decided to throw it into the air. A mixture of every emotion becomes one inside him.

“Are you serious with your words? You know you could not take it back later,” Guan Xian reminded Xia Sha with a warning tone.

“Hm. I’m serious, but I don’t think we can do it today.. The bureau had closed at this time,” Xia Sha hides her embarrassed nature by acting nonchalant.
