100 years before Divorce - Chapter 212

“HAHAHA! REALLY? TOMORROW IT IS!” Guan Xian exclaims with vigor.

Xia Sha gets jolted when his strong hand suddenly pulled her into his lap. His hand circled her waist, and he hugged her tightly as if he could want to glue himself to her.

“You are not tricking me, right?” Guan Xian suddenly raised his eyebrow in suspicions.

“Can I trick you?!” Xia Sha dearly tilted her head.

“Who knows,” Guan Xian murmured with a hint of delight on his lips. He looks like a little boy who won his toys.

Xia Sha tried to stand up and remove herself from Guan Xian’s intimate hug. But those muscled arms did not want to let her go. She turned to Guan Xian slightly, asking in an unsteady voice, “Let go. I want to check on Pang Ze Tian and my father.”

“Wait a minute,” Guan Xian answers in his raspy voice. He seems to be resting his head on the back of Xia Sha’s head, making shivers run down Xia Sha’s spine.

“Don’t move for two minutes. I want to ask you something,” Guan Xian said with his gentle voice.

“W-What?” Xia Sha’s voice comes out cracked as she suddenly felt nervous.

Xia Sha did not know how and when the atmosphere shifted. The air felt sweeter than before, but there are strange vibes that make her heart race. The butterfly in her stomach comeback as she waited for Guan Xian’s question.

She could felt Guan Xian’s warm breath behind her neck, but somehow it makes her forget to breathe.

“Why do you suddenly agree to marry me today? It’s because of the scar? Or it’s because I saved you today?”

Guan Xian’s deep voice shrinks deep into Xia Sha’s heart. Since Guan Xian always appears to be fun and easygoing, it’s affecting people when he turned serious. His question makes Xia Sha stunned for a while before smiles appear on her face.

“We are going to marry anyway. Does my reason important?” Xia Sha raised from Guan Xian’s lap and turned around at him.

Guan Xian looks at the composed Xia Sha with hidden emotions in his eyes. A part of him was amused at how she remains to look immaculate after the shit they run through today. And the other side of him was dragging his heart down.

It’s always a battle between the mind and the heart. Between the logical and the guts. The calculation and a leap of faith.

The ego inside his head told him to give no damn at the consequences and take his chance today. God knew what inside that pretty little mind. She could change her decision tomorrow, and Guan Xian was pretty sure he would end up in regrets.

But something inside his heart had told him to wait and trust her.

“It’s necessary. Marriage is for once in a lifetime. I don’t want to hear any divorce coming out of our mouths later.”

Guan Xian’s word sounds like a warning as he intended to show so. His dark brown eyes connected to Xia Sha’s beautiful eyes. They fell silent for a long time.

“I come from a broken family. I don’t know how to be in a healthy relationship. Not because I always find the wrong man. But because I am the toxic one. I overthink and short-tempered. No one had ever said I have a good character. I was about to close my heart to everyone when you come knocking my heart,” Xia Sha paused to take a breath.

“You are the least kind of man that I want to deal with after I just got cheated. My father was always loyal to my mom, but he still cheated on her. How can I defy the nature and believe you would not do that to me?”

“But action always speaks louder than words. You might say a bunch of nonsense, but you had the consideration of me in every of your decision. And as if you refuse to prove my man view, you tell me that not giving up on love would worth it,” Xia Sha ended her tirade with a loud exhales.

Guan Xian blinked several times before he proceeded with everything and laughed.

“Why are you laughing? It’s not funny,” Xia Sha frown upon watching Guan Xian’s strange response to her long explanation.

“I know. I’m sorry for laughing. You are just too cute. What can I do to you? Hm?” Guan Xian stood up and cupped Xia Sha’s cheek with his warm hand.

“Well- Is that reason enough? I admit your action today had touched my heart. And those scars in your back, they convince me how you would fight for the ones you love. I guess that is why-” Xia Sha mumbles at the end of her sentence, suddenly getting embarrassed for showing too much of her thought.

“You said so much but revealed nothing. What exactly are you thinking? Hm? Did Pang Ze Tian’s words bothered you?” Guan Xian pulled her head inwardly toward him. He shortens their distance until the tip of their nose touches.

Xia Sha averted her gaze the moment his deep brown eyes unravel her.

“No,” she mumbles.

“You did. You can’t lie to me. I knew you so well,” Guan Xian’s smiles spreading across his cheek while he brings his forehead to her’s. His big hand slowly went down to her neck as Xia Sha shook her head.

“No, it’s not Pang Ze Tian. Either way, I knew I was going to marry you anyway,” Xia Sha wrinkles her nose and smiles mischievously to Guan Xian.

Her sudden change of action surprised Guan Xian. He pulled away and looked at Xia Sha with questioning looks. Why does he felt like he didn’t want to hear the sentence that would come out from Xia Sha’s mouth?

“I don’t think I could find another man that would get a vasectomy if he cheated on me.”

Xia Sha’s remark makes Guan Xian’s face turned white. Then it turned blue before it went green. Guan Xian forced closed his eyelids and nodded his head while nodding at Xia Sha’s infuriating reply.

“Sly, we need a sly Mrs.Guan. You are such a perfect candidate,” Guan Xian grin as he felt a sudden headache upon facing Xia Sha.

Xia Sha grinned upon seeing Guan Xian’s response. When Guan Xian’s hand on her neck loosens, Xia Sha brought her hand around his neck in a swift movement. At Guan Xian’s most ungraded moment, she clashed their lips together before she pushed him away in a flash.

Guan Xian was so shocked that he loss words.

“Well, thank you, mister. Now, if you excuse me, I still need to finish the mess I started today,” Xia Sha smirked.

“!!!”

Does she want to run away after eating him?

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! It is too much! He had doted on her until she turned rotten.

How could Xia Sha leave him hanging alone on this public ward after saving her?

How could the situations changed so fast from played to being played by a woman like this?

How could he let a woman steal a kiss from him?!

How could that lips taste too sweet?

The rows of question go on, but every single of it make him felt more and more infuriated. Xia Sha almost disappears from the emergency room when Guan Xian jumped out from his error states. He wasted no time and caught up with her with his long legs.

“Where are you going? You think you could wash your hand and take no responsibilities after what you’ve done?” Guan Xian’s voice runs deeps. He acts in an unfamiliar laconic manner.

Xia Sha stopped walking and looked at Guan Xian blankly. She complements for a few seconds before she nods her head firmly.

“Yeah, I think I would become an irresponsible person right now. You- I’m sure you will be okay,” Xia Sha said in a sweet tone and patted Guan Xian’s shoulder thrice as if she is coaxing a little boy who just got his heartbroken.

Guan Xian: “…” He never seen a day like this ever happen to him before.

“Fine, I will be an irresponsible person too! Just wait for me tonight,” Guan Xian said with gritted teeth. He had enunciated every syllable. The deliberate delivery of his words is palpable.

Xia Sha could not hold her snigger when she see his furrowed eyebrow. She smiles brightly at him with a pair of sparkling eyes. At the same time, she looks seductive and innocent as she took a step closer and whispered to his ears.

“We’ll see what you can do tonight. I’ll be waiting,” Xia Sha winked and mischievously patted Guan Xian’s muscled chest twice before she walked away.

Guan Xian was left in the cold corridor, filled with antiseptic smells as he grumbled to himself. He felt blood rushing into his brain as every cell of him turns active. He is so furious that he might explode soon.

“Who told you to be so whipped?! But Damn! That was hot!”
