100 years before Divorce - Chapter 227

“No, I don’t want to know about it,” Kai Xin sounds absolute as her voice rang like clear water.

Xia Sha wasn’t surprised by the choice Kai Xin made. And even though words of explanation remain on her throat still, Xia Sha’s shoulder felt light. Kai Xin raised her eyes and turned to Xia Sha with gratitude on her face.

“Thank you. Thank you for your honesty and intention. However, no matter what I knew, the baby won’t come back to me. And as much as I wanted to blame another person, I need to admit that I’m irresponsible for both of us,” Kai Xin murmured with a faint smile on her face.

“I believe that God had prepared everything at the right time for me. It’s, indeed, painful to let go. But wouldn’t it be more torturous for the child if he stays with me in this chaotic world?”

The three of them is the only customer in the coffee shop. The room quickly fell into silence as Xia Sha and Zheng Shuang fall into a reflection on themselves.

Among the three of them, Kai Xin is the kindest, purest and softest. But Kai Xin had the most determination between them. Xia Sha and Zheng Shuang are used to standing in front of Kai Xin to protect her because Kai Xin lets people walk over her.

She is one of a kind human. She is the type who would bravely enjoy the pain and learn from her mistake rather than running away like a coward.

“I don’t want revenge. I want to avenge my baby by living and preparing well until I ready to protect him in this world. Hehehe, you two must think I’m naive, right?” Kai Xin let out a chuckle when Zheng Shuang and Xia Sha remained silent after a long time.

Zheng Shuang nods her head slightly as she affirmed, “You do. However, Kai Xin, I admire your courage. I couldn’t believe I would say this, but I’m glad you choose to let it go.”

“It took a willingness to forgive, but to forget, you need courage. I couldn’t believe this is still my Kai Xin that cry because she lost her teddy bear,” Xia Sha took Kai Xin’s hand and held them tight.

Kai Xin’s smiles grew wider after she listens to Zheng Shuang and Xia Sha’s supports.

“I knew, right. I felt so grown-up right now. It’s exhausting,” Zheng Shuang said in disbelief.

“Oh, Kai Xin did grow up, but you are just getting older,” Xia Sha teased Zheng Shuang. Zheng Shuang furrowed her eyebrow and fuming in anger. Xia Sha happily laughed at her as she sipped her macchiato.

They talked awhile before parted ways. Xia Sha thought she would go straight to her apartment, but she realized she needs to take some documents home with her. She had notified Guan Xian over the text, but he hasn’t replied.

There is nothing strange at first. However, after a fifteen-minute driving back to the apartment, Xia Sha feels followed from behind. She tried to catch the person from the corner of her eyes as she fastens her pace to pass the security.

Xia Sha tried to gave a secret sign to the security guard when they exchanges look. She calms herself as she walks inside the lobby and waits for voices from her back. But instead of sounds, she felt someone tapping her shoulder before a hand covering her eyes.

“Akh!” Xia Sha yelled for help as she got panicked before she observes her surrounding.

“Hey, Hey, calm down. It’s me!” The familiar bass voice calmed her down with a touch on her cheek.

Xia Sha felt her heart racing fast slowly turn normal when their eyes meet. She regains control over her breathing. She holds Guan Xian’s arm as if she lost the energy to stand on her own feet.

“Sigh, I thought you are a stalker,” Xia Sha hissed.

“Stalker?!” Guan Xian furrowed his eyebrow as he turned his head to the entrance door. He looks stern as he frowned toward the security before he turned his head back to Xia Sha.

“Let’s head upstairs first,” Xia Sha murmured as she didn’t want to cause a scene in the lobby.

Knowing Guan Xian for several months now, Xia Sha still unsure of two things. How shameless Guan Xian can be and how he vents his anger. This whole time, Guan Xian always successfully control his emotion when Xia Sha is around. He could be scary sometimes, but Xia Sha saw him in that explosive anger.

Somehow, Xia Sha could feel that she about to witness that scene because of this matter.

But again, Guan Xian seems to surpass his emotion and followed Xia Sha quietly to the apartment. He didn’t even bother to ask about the stalker anymore. Instead, he began to pull out a big photobook from his working bag.

“I didn’t know you carry a bag to work before,” Xia Sha queried as she glances at the bag.

With his usual boyish grin, Guan Xian avowed, “I never did before. I just bought this to carry this photobook. Which, you need to see because you need the best wedding dress for our marriage ceremony.”

Xia Sha was speechless, things like this- shouldn’t she discuss this with her bridesmaids instead of the groom?

“Here, I borrowed this from Xiao Ni. It could be a prototype before we choose a designer,” Guan Xian sounds excited as he opens the pages for Xia Sha.

Xia Sha look at him for a moment before she burst into laughter. She left Guan Xian stood with his confused face as he frowned, “Is there’s something funny? I don’t intend to make a joke at all.”

He glares at Xia Sha as if he wanted to probe, ‘Did you laugh because you see me as a joke?’

Xia Sha stops laughing after a while. She couldn’t surpass the urge to steal a kiss on Guan Xian’s cheek. The anger on Guan Xian’s face vanished immediately as soon as he felt her soft lips against his skin. Wandering eyes started to fall upon Xia Sha’s dilated pupils.

“You don’t want to provoke me right now,” Guan Xian mumbles with his low, hoarse voice.

Xia Sha’s felt her heart almost drop into the door when Guan Xian trapped her in between his arms. Sitting on the chair, Xia Sha felt powerless as she looked up to him.

“It just a peck in a cheek. How could that provoke you?!” Xia Sha raised her voice and asked in a disbelief tone.

Guan Xian’s eyes turned darker as he listens to Xia Sha’s arguments. And no, it’s not because he got offended by her sentence. But observing her moving lips as he talks had him tense.

Hesitantly, his finger moves to caress her dump and soft lips. His thumb felt rough as it meets Xia Sha’s gentle lips.

“Haven’t you notice?” Guan Xian raised his gaze and looked straight at Xia Sha’s eyes. He got Xia Sha’s stomach filled with butterflies as he intensely whispers, “I’m addicted to your lips.”

Silence.

Xia Sha felt her whole world got paused as it turned upside down. And not in a horrible way, but rather in a fun roller coaster rides way.

She took a sharp breath as she braces herself to stare back at him. She put her dainty hand on her cheek as she smiles brightly at him. Aligned with playful thoughts, Xia Sha whispered back at Guan Xian.

“I didn’t notice that before. I thought you are addicted to me. It seems like that isn’t the whole case,” Xia Sha mumbles in a fake disappointed tone.

Guan Xian let out a low chuckle as he touched her nose with the knuckle of his finger. After messing up with Xia Sha’s head, he decided to tap the photobook twice and remind her of their goals today.

“Not today, beautiful. We have jobs to do. Now let’s go through this photobook and dresses before I see you through the blanket and messy sheets.”

“Oh, controlling. That’s hot,” Xia Sha answered without thinking as she smiles at Guan Xian seductively.

She could see Guan Xian’s adam apples boobed up and down hard twice before he heard his answer.

“Stop it,” he glowers at Xia Sha as he tries to avert his gaze.

Xia Sha laughed and gave in to him. She followed Guan Xian going through the photobook as he observes every dress one by one.

Xia Sha didn’t know that these new rituals would stay for a long time. She only realized wedding preparation had become Guan Xian’s new hobby as he bought three different photo books for three days straight. And every night he came, they would stay up late that Xia Sha almost come late to the office.

She began to felt a headache as she rushes to head inside the company lobby. Little did Xia Sha notice, there is another ruckus inside the company caused by somebody she forgot three days ago.

All she knew is somebody kneels in front of her when she steps inside the company. Knocking his head against the floor, Xia Sha heard him wailed, “XIA SHA! PLEASE HELP ME!”
