100 years before Divorce - Chapter 231

Xia Sha was all silent when she slides inside Guan Xian’s car. Guan Xian’s body tense immediately as he tried not to squeak when he sat down. Faking his calmness, he pressed the start button as he clear his throat.

“So, we found the ring!” Guan Xian tried to remind Xia Sha on the bright side, although he knew meeting Ye Zhen Zhen would turn the whole trip sour.

“Yeah, we did,” Xia Sha replied as she took a deep breath.

And it’s certainly not a coincidence that Ye Zhen Zhen is the one who takes the ring. Xia Sha had a strong gut about Ye Zhen Zhen, and apparently, the subject didn’t bother to his her intention for Xia Sha’s finance either.

Xia Sha knew she might sound shallow if she said this out loud, so Xia Sha decided to calm down and waited for Ye Zhen Zhen to make her move before she strikes back.

The calm response from Xia Sha makes Guan Xian startled. He felt his heart racing fast as he turned to look at his future wife.

“Hey, look at me. Are you okay?” Guan Xian asked with distress written all over his face.

Xia Sha turned to him with a furrowed eyebrow as he mumbles with a confused tone. Brushing away his hand that checks her forehead, she finally gives the response Guan Xian wanted.

“What do you mean? I’m fine!”

The resignation and irritated tone make Guan Xian’s muscles relaxed. He holds his heart as if he sees a ghost, “I thought you got possessed,” he mumbles under his breath.

Guan Xian got an instant glare from Xia Sha the moment she realized what he wanted to imply.

“I’m not okay because I didn’t go berserk after meeting that two-face woman? Let me tell you, If Ye Zhen Zhen is a virus, then I could validate that I already got vaccinated,” Xia Sha sneers as she looks back to the packed street.

“Ah, I forgot her company invested in your new project. How is it going anyway?” Guan Xian smoothly changed the topic. Well, at least that is what he thought before Xia Sha looks at him suspiciously.

“It’s going well, but why do you care? You never ask me about my project before,” Xia Sha squinted her eyes as she looks at him intensely,

Guan Xian got rendered speechless. He only wants to change the unpleasant topic, and he never asked about her project because he thought he should separate private and work life.  He didn’t come to Xia Sha to talk about his burden. He comes to spend qualities time with her.

“Huh? Do you care about the project or the investor?” Xia Sha raised her eyebrow as she interrogates Guan Xian.

Cold sweat started to form on Guan Xian’s forehead as he tried to answer Xia Sha’s question. The pressure Xia Sha gave oppressed his ability to make up some creative answer.

“Forget it, I should’ve known not to trust a man,” Xia Sha said in a monotonous tone as she turned her back from Guan Xian.

“Why would I care about both of it? I only care about you,” Guan Xian tried to salvage his mistakes.

“Huh, stop lying. You wouldn’t be speechless if it’s true,” Xia Sha mumbles with an indifferent attitude. She got pissed off by Guan Xian. Obviously.

Guan Xian’s chest expanded as he holds his breath and tilted his head with forbearance. He forces a smile on his face as he quietly drove the car to Xia Sha’s apartment.

Does She want to be unreasonable today? Fine, let her be.

“I wouldn’t be speechless if you weren’t asking such out-of-the-box question. You know work and other people weren’t matter to me,” Guan Xian answer in his hoarse voice after a long period of silence.

“Oh yeah, as if,” Xia Sha stubbornly answers as she rolls her eyes lazily.

“Uh-huh, as if I could stay alive if I dare to do something outrageous,” Guan Xian mumbles with a stupified face which turned Xia Sha’s frown into a giggle almost instantly.

“Why are you so cute? Huh?” Xia Sha suddenly brings herself to hug Guan Xian as they got into the basement of the apartment building.

Guan Xian’s lips twitched when he sees the bright sparkle in Xia Sha’s eyes. He didn’t need more confirmation to know that Xia Sha’s body in discomfort right now.

“You are cute yourself. Don’t you see your face when you got angry? It’s like an angry Pomeranian dog, so fluffy,” Guan Xian squeezed Xia Sha’s cheek along with a chuckle.

“Huff,” Xia Sha pouted at Guan Xian as she pulled her body back and caressed her cheek.

Guan Xian chuckles as he turns off the engine and rushes to open the door for Xia Sha. As they walked to the lift, Guan Xian got remind of something he heard during the day.

“I head your ex come to your company today? You don’t want to tell me about that?” Guan Xian raised his eyebrow as he slips his hand into his pants pocket.

He lay his back quietly to the lift as he waited for Xia Sha to answer.

Xia Sha turned in Guan Xian’s direction and pressed her lips into unimpressed lines. She needs to make Fu Qun stop blabbering every little thing to Tang Yu Bin.

“Hm, he comes to ask for money and promise to disappear forever,” Xia Sha answers casually, as she didn’t care about the matters at all.

Guan Xian’s faces turn cold for a second before he shows a warm smile to Xia Sha. That man is practically audacious to think he could save himself by running to Xia Sha.

Does he think he could run away after taking his money and breaking his oath?

“Good for him if he keeps his promise,” Guan Xian murmured with wicked intentions aligned in his eyes.

Xia Sha could feel something dark omitted from Guan Xian even though he is smiling at her. She squared her shoulder to appear taller before she took a step closer to him and gently coax him.

“Let the matter pass. It’s all in the past, and that man is trying hard.”

“He tried too hard,” Guan Xian mumbles in annoyance. He didn’t understand why Xia Sha cared about the unqualified man.

“He is hopeless. His mother needs to undergo an operation. So, just let this pass and forget. Okay, big man?” Xia Sha smiles as she patted Guan Xian’s shoulder coquettishly.

Xia Sha’s words are proven effective to subside the anger in Guan Xian’s chest. In the end, Guan Xian nods his head when Xia Sha asked him for the second time.

“Fine, I’ll let this matter pass. However, if that Ling dares to show his nose in front of you again, I swear I’ll break every bone in his body.”

“…”

Xia Sha heard many gossips about Guan Xian’s extreme personality, but she didn’t believe it until today. But it takes a short time for Guan Xian to forget about the matters when they arrived at the apartment.

Guan Xian seems to form his routine in Xia Sha’s private place. After arriving, he would get the bath ready as he took a shower. Xia Sha would get a prepared bathtub when he finished. The shameless man has even bought some of his shirts inside Xia Sha’s wardrobe.

After cleaning up, they would cuddle while watching a movie or discussing some matters. However, no matter what activities they do, Xia Sha always ends up in the same place.

Guan Xian’s chest.

Like tonight, for example, they start with chilling on the comfortable sofa in the living room. Xia Sha watches the documentary with little interest, and when she blinked, she found herself had moved to the bedroom when she woke up. Her lips have turned swollen as wet as Guan Xian keeps bullying her with his sweet tongue.

Her eyes were misty as she forces her lips to open up and look at Guan Xian. Falling deep into his eyes, Xia Sha bought her weak arm on his chest to stop him from going farther than kisses.

Xia Sha would be lying if she said she didn’t know what Guan Xian wanted right now. However, we couldn’t always get what we want. Don’t we?

“My aunt is in the house,” Xia Sha said in a hoarse voice that could turn Guan Xian’s orbs three shades darkened.

Guan Xian’s eyebrow arched high for a second before frustration took over his face. He blinked and tried to act normal and still gave Xia Sha his kisses. It’s less intense and dangerous. Instead, it gave Xia Sha comfort and care.

“I love you,” he mumbles quietly, still on the top of Xia Sha.

With that affectionate eyes and face, how could Xia Sha’s heart not melt? Guan Xian had pushed her into term with no return as she had no choice but to said, “I love you too.”

A sincere smile blooms on their face as they enjoy each other company. But it didn’t last long as Guan Xian rushed to the bathroom.

Xia Sha chuckles on her bed as she heard his frustrated groan. She sat on the bed before she teases him even further, “Do you need help there?”

She heard a loud intake of breath before a sharp snap coming out from the bathroom.

“Shut up!”

“HAHAHA!”
