100 years before Divorce - Chapter 222

When Xia Sha woke up, Guan Xian had gone to Xia Corporation. He left notes on the nightstand, saying that he didn’t bear to woke Xia Sha up, and made breakfast on the dining table.

“Leaving so early,” Xia Sha groaned as she watched the digital clock show 07.21 in the morning. She tries to moves her numb legs and almost falls as she tried to walk to the bathroom.

“Damn, Guan Xian,” she mumbles under her breath as she took out a bathrobe from her wardrobe.

She did not regret provoking Guan Xian last night, but she always felt- what word could describe her feeling the best? Anyway, her sore body tells it all.

Tempting smells of sweet pancakes. Xia Sha got blown away for a moment after she tastes the pancake.

“What kind of human this? Wasn’t he too good to be true?” Xia Sha shook her head as she eats five whole pancakes to herself.

“How could he bake so good?” Xia Sha groaned after realized she ate too much sugar in the morning.

Xia Sha is patting her tense stomach when she suddenly felt nauseated after a few seconds pass. She covers her mouth with her palm before rushing to the toilet.

The splattering voice of puke rang all over the bathroom as Xia Sha’s stomach turned upside down. Xia Sha felt the aftertaste of bile all over her mouth after she threw up. She patted her chest as she supported her body to raise and rinse her mouth.

“Who told you to be so gluttonous?” Xia Sha hissed as she wipes her lips roughly.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror as she felt tears formed a thin layer in her eyes. There is a fragment of worries in her heart as she self diagnose herself. But thankfully, after getting ready for work, Xia Sha felt better.

However, her stomach started to felt sick again the moment she arrived at her office. The usual room perfume almost turned her floor into a sea of vomit if she hadn’t run out to the public bathroom.

Fu Qun, who witness Xia Sha’s weird action, waited for Xia Sha outside the room.

“Boss Xia, are you alright? You look pale. Do you feel sick? What can I do to help you?” Fu Qu’s rows of questions make Xia Sha dizzy. She pressed her temple with her finger and shook her head.

“Be quiet for a moment and throw the room perfume on my room,” she retailed in irritation.

“Right away,” Fu Qun said before he disappears behind Xia Sha’s office.

The burgeoning sense of uneasiness makes Xia Sha couldn’t concentrate on her work. In the end, she decided to push all the documents from her desk and took a fresh air at the building rooftops. Flash memories appear before her make her lips curled upwards. Thinking about Guan Xian makes her peaceful and calm.

Xia Sha wonders. How Guan Xian and her father’s talking went? Do they fight as Guan Xian expected? If that happens, Xia Sha swear she will believe the phrase that ‘Boys never grew up.’

Xia Sha took out her phone and decided to call the fool she loves, and Guan Xian answered it almost right away. A mischievous grin appears before Xia Sha’s face as she teased him, “Answering so fast, are you waiting for my call?”

“Always. I always wait and am excited to talk to you!” Guan Xian’s direct answers make her blush.

She forgets how shameless Guan Xian can be.

“… Well, how’s the ‘meeting’ with my father? Did he beat you before giving his permission?” Xia Sha decided to act as if she never heard his honeyed words before Guan Xian found out she is buying his sweet nothing.

“He did not,” Guan Xian mumbles under his breath. Xia Sha could point out a tone of disappointment as he sighed and clicked his tongue.

“And you are upset because…?”

“I’m not upset, but why did you sound amuse?” Guan Xian cheekily answers as he let out a low chuckle.

That tone and chuckle. Xia Sha could imagine his cheek indent with deep dimples when he does. It usually pleased her to watch his handsome face, but today she felt irritated instead.

“That chuckle and honeyed phrase, how many girls had heard that?!”

“Ah?” Guan Xian could not keep up with Xia Sha’s sudden mood change. He took a deep breath and carefully asked Xia Sha to repeat her questions.

“What?”

“What?!” Xia Sha snaps.

“What happened to you? What did I do that make you angry?” Guan Xian furrowed her eyebrow, still asking in a careful tone.

“I’m not angry!”

“Okay, you are not angry. You are not angry,” Guan Xian relent to calm Xia Sha down.

“Yeah, I am not angry. I’m just irritated because you are a womanizer before. Is that how you could treat me very well? You seem to know a lot of women. Ah! You must be lying when you said you never done sex with another woman before! You are so good in bed. How could I believe that your first time was with me?”

Guan Xian almost could not keep up with Xia Sha’s long tirade of accusations. He had every answer to her questions, but he senses that Xia Sha only wants to be coaxed right now.

“I’m sorry for irritating you. I know that I might not-”

“Huek! Huek! Stop- Huek! Talking!” Xia Sha vomits out nothing, but she felt someone punched her stomach hard that she could not breathe out. And she thinks it’s because Guan Xian started to talk in his usual gentle voice.

“Xia Sha! What happens-”

Beep.

Xia Sha ended the call before Guan Xian finish his sentence. After a while of silence, the nauseating feeling went away. Xia Sha felt her head is spinning when Guan Xian spam her message and calls. She decided not to answer his call and responded to his text only.

She implies that she’s fine and asks him not to come to her apartment tonight. Guan Xian is confused, but she said she might get hospitalized if he comes, so Xia Sha was left alone at night.

But because he is worried, he made Zheng Shuang come to check on Xia Sha. Strangely, Xia Sha didn’t felt sick the moment Zheng Shuang come with Kai Xin.

Kai Xin looks thinner, but there is a spark of joy in her eyes as Xia Sha pulled her into a long embrace. Zheng Shuang had a meaningful smile the whole night as they catch up with each other.

“Guan Xian is exaggerating. I’m fine. I’m just moody today,” Xia Sha rolls her eyes.

“Senior Guan said you threw up. Did you eat something bad in the morning?” Zheng Shuang asked carefully.

“I ate the pancake Guan Xian bake for me for breakfast and threw up afterward. It might be an allergic reaction. However, the pancake is delicious. It’s a shame,” Xia Sha shrug her shoulder.

Zheng Shuang raised her eyebrow and turned to Kai Xin with an expression Xia Sha could not understand. Kai Xin’s lips twitched as she turned to Xia Sha and hold her hands, “Senior Guan is here? In the morning? Tell me that you keep track of your period cycle date.”

Xia Sha got goosebumps all over her body the moment Kai Xin’s words got into her head. She swallows her saliva and forces a smile on her face. “My period is not regular, but I’m sure that is not the case.”

“Are you sure?” Zheng Shuang looks at her intently.

“Yeah, I’m sure. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine,” Xia Sha answered in a fake indifferent tone and turned to Kai Xin in great interest.

“Kai Xin,” she called her name gently, but Xia Sha lost her words when Kai Xin’s eye meet her’s. There are too many things on her head that she knew she should be telling Kai Xin right now, but somehow, Xia Sha could not push it out from her throat, and she did not know where to start.

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Instead, I also come here to ask you something,” Kai Xin’s heart went soft when she realized Xia Sha’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Yeah, she is more than fine. You don’t have to worry about her. When did you become such a crybaby?” Zheng Shuang added, wiping Xia Sha’s tears away with her thumb.

Xia Sha shook her head and bit her lower lips to stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She frowns and tried to surpass her emotional states and be rational.

“I’m just emotional today. Must be the weather,” Xia Sha mumbles as she wipes away the left tears from her eyes. After she composed herself, she turned to Kai Xin with expectant eyes, asking, “What do you want to tell me?”

Kai Xin lowered her head and glance at Zheng Shuang for a moment. Zheng Shuang smiles from ear to ear. Holding still Xia Sha’s hand, Kai Xin asks, “promise me that you won’t get mad at me?”

“Okay,” Xia Sha answers without hesitance.

“I- I’m in a relationship with Shen Mu Qing,” Kai Xin confessed.
