100 years before Divorce - Chapter 256

For the first time in twenty years of friendship, Guan Xian felt he shouldn’t befriend his moron friend.

“Do you seriously think this would make me happier than rolling in bed with my wife?! I might expect this from Ji Cun Xi and Jian Jun, but you?!” Guan Xian said in disbelief toward Wang Kai.

Wang Kai raised his eyebrow without changing his stoic expression while sipping a coffee while reading his iPad.

“Bother-in-law, Your wife kick you out from your honeymoon bed. Why blame it on me?” Wang Kai answered and jabbed Guan Xian’s heart casually.

Calling him brother-in-law is one. Pointing out Xia Sha allowing her husband to go on their wedding night is another one.

“Oh really, as if you’ll be here if Xiao Ni didn’t end your honeymoon early,” Guan Xian replied mindlessly.

You want to prick my heart with words, don’t you? Huh?

Wang Kai turned speechless.

“…” Wasn’t it to attend your wedding?

“I’m so done with you two! I bought you to the hottest club in Vegas, and one of them is drinking a black coffee while reading his document while the other whine about his wife. Come on, guys! You bummed me out,” Ji Cun Xi complained.

A slight fury burns in Ji Cun Xi’s eyes for a moment when he speaks. It makes Guan Xian feel guilty while Wang Kai puts down his tablet.

Jian Jun laid back lazily on the black leather sofa as he chimed in, “Cun Xi had a point. It’s been a while. We only hang out to play the avengers these days.”

Naturally, the four of them realized this by heart. Everyone had a busy life, but sometimes they wished to gather and have a good time like in the good old days.

“Well, I’m sorry for that. Everything comes so naturally and-”

“It’s okay. We understand. It’s not your fault either,” Ji Cun Xi cut him off with an attitude.

Guan Xian wrinkled his nose and nodded several times, “thank you,” he murmured before he clapped his hand together and asked,” So, we are in Vegas, should we win some money?”

They only had three purposes in Vegas. Work, Party, and Casino.

They were in the so-called late bachelor party. Work won’t be suitable. Wang Kai and Jian Jun wouldn’t come to a non-related work party. He could understand them now.

So, there’s only The Casino left to enjoy in Vegas.

“Stop playing dumb. We knew you’ve been preparing since you engaged to Xia Sha,” Jian Jun pointed out indifferently, peeling out the act Guan Xian tried to use.

Titling his head like an innocent boy, Guan Xian furrowed his eyebrow, “Guys, what is it? I don’t remember a thing,” he confidently carried on his act.

“Brother-in-law, you are the initiator of the pact. But if you forgot, then you could send back the car I bought you,” Wang Kai ripped out the mask that Guan Xian is wearing.

“Uh-huh, stop trying to divert the attention here and let us watch that single ladies dance,” Jian Jun added the fuel to Ji Cun Xi’s fire and Guan Xian’s misery.

Guan Xian clenched his teeth as he took a moment of silence. Three pairs of sharp eyes watch him playfully, and there is no way he could run away from this VIP room.

Damn it! If he knew he would get so whipped by a woman someday, he would never utter nonsense at Dubai!

“Fine! I’m a man of my word. Where’s the costume? Bring it on!” Guan Xian scoffed as he stood from the sofa and began to strip.

“Oh! My eyes! My eyes! What are you doing? Don’t contaminate my eyes!” Ji Cun Xi panicked shouted as he covered his eyes with his hand.

Guan Xian smirked when he saw his friend’s black expression. Leaving only his boxer, he deliberately prolonged his time changing costume.

“Ah? Wasn’t you looking forward to my performance? I think a little warming up is needed,” Guan Xian murmured, placing his hand on his hip.

“If you don’t want any evidence of tonight, I suggest you not gross me out,” Ji Cun Xi panicky threatened as he used his tie to cover his eyes.

Utterly! Completely! Defeated! Guan Xian was so speechless that he didn’t even complain when the binding lights blinded him as the music started to play.

“All the single ladies, all the single ladies. All the single ladies, all the single ladies,” the background music started to fill the VIP room before it filled with laughter from Wang Kai, Jian Jun, and Ji Cun Xi.

Guan Xian took a long deep breath as he lowered his head. When the music cue, his body starts moving along with the rhythm, “Now put your hands up.”

“Eyyyyy!” The boys hype him up while trying to hold on to their laughter.

If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it.

If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.

Don’t be mad once you see that he want it.

If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.

The music faded as the night grew colder in Las Vegas. As the boys entertained themself with laughter and alcohol, Xia Sha and the rest of the girls couldn’t help but feel enjoying themself on the other side.

Xia Sha took a long deep breath after enlightening herself with every information she missed while ‘sleeping’ in the hospital. There’s indeed some problem in the construction site, but it’s not as dire as the news report.

“So everything is fine?” Xia Sha wants to reconfirm with Fu Qun with a tone that makes Fu Qun wouldn’t dare to lie.

“Yes, mam. Apart from Mr.Guan might pass out from lack of sleep, there’s nothing. I don’t know that Mr.Guan is quite an engineer himself.”

With that in mind, she had no worries when Xiao Ni suddenly abducted her to Mother Guan’s secret spa space.

“Ah~ You are right, Guan Xiao Ni. It’s an earthly paradise,” Xia Sha murmured as she enjoyed the massage on her back.

“Absolutely. Why don’t you tell us sooner?!” Kai Xin complains with a smile on her face.

“Excuse me, I also forget about this tradition. If my sister cousin didn’t mention this, I would’ve missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Xiao Ni sighed.

“They weren’t talking about the stuff you want to do after this. It’s the spa,” Xia Sha tried to knock some sense into Xiao Ni’s muddle head.

She heard a low “Oh,” from Xiao Ni before an indifferent answer, “My mother insists on keeping this place a secret even from me. She wants to make this place her legacy?”

Xiao Ni wasn’t quite so sure herself. But knowing her mother-in-law, it’s not impossible.

Xia Sha lay on the massage bed with her eyes closed as she pampers her body quietly. The tradition Xiao Ni mentioned is something that mother Guan had told her recently. The woman of Guan’s family had special three treats the day before marrying.

On the first day, the bride would get the best body and face treatment to pamper herself.

On the second day, they could shop to their heart content, fully funded by the Guan family.

On the third day, they could do things that they want to do but couldn’t do after marriage. Everything would be provided and forgiven.

Mother Guan even explicitly said, “Even if you want to try an affair with someone, you could. I won’t tell Guan Xian.”

Xia Sha was stunned at that time. She didn’t know that the Guan family could be this liberal. It terrified her a little if mother Guan didn’t add, “I would’ve forgiven you for that, but I won’t be responsible for collateral damage.”

“…”

Xia Sha shook her head to refuse. She almost broke a cold sweat thinking of involving herself in an affair. It’s the one thing she hated the most in this world.

The thought of it makes Xia Sha shiver in discomfort.

“The spa is not the main event, guys. I shall give you feast in the eyes after comfort to your body,” Xiao Ni wiggles her eyebrow playfully as she makes the three of them laugh.

“Xiao Ni couldn’t get satisfied with this paradise. Maybe if a ripped-bun-stomach oppa becomes a masseuse, she would agree on the earthly paradise term,” Xia Sha said.

“Anyway, doesn’t senior Wang Kai have a great figure? Why do you look so desperate to see another six-pack oppa?” Kai Xin teased.

Xia Sha notices a blush on Xiao Ni’s cheek, but the girl seems to cover her shyness with a comedy.

“I love the bun at my house, but it wouldn’t hurt to look, right?”

They laugh at Xiao Ni’s answer before one of them starts to stop smiling.

“But is this save for me? Guan Xian and the other might be too busy to notice. But Xiao Yu-” Zheng Shuang turn to Xiao Ni nervously.

“Don’t worry. I asked my father to extend the Rothschild conference invitation to Xiao Yu. I’ve sent them all far away that they couldn’t do anything when we enjoy our night!” Xiao Ni grinned.

“Well, I appreciate the message. But I don’t understand why you make it such a big deal,” Xia Sha raised her eyebrow at Xiao Ni.

“Aiya! Sister-in-law, are you sure you weren’t rushing to marry my brother? He won’t let a single man lay a hand on your hair now that you are legally his wife. Don’t you know this by now?”

“He could be protective, but he never really prohibit me from doing things that I want,” Xia Sha replied calmly, a smile blooms at the end of her sentence.

“I want to say I had enough of the foolishly-in-love-because-I-just-got-married smile, but she had only someone’s wife for one day,” Kai Xin clicked her tongue and averted her sight from Xia Sha.

Indifferent to Xia Sha’s confident answer, Xiao Ni calmly makes her point as she quietly says, “Yeah, have you ever wanted to enjoy the company of half-naked young meats before?”

Xia Sha: “…”

“Guan Xiao Ni, you live up to your name as a trouble maker,” Zheng Shuang couldn’t hold her giggles when she heard Xiao Ni’s unfiltered choice of words.

“Now that I think about it, Xiao Ni is our senior in marriage life,” Kai Xin murmured.

A shed of interest suddenly sparked Xia Sha’s eyes as she wondered, What makes Xiao Ni so eager to watch those young meats right now?

“Xiao Ni, tell me, what changes after marriage?” Zheng Shuang wasted no time waiting while she probed. Two pairs of eyes watch Xiao Ni vigorously while Xia Sha secretly concentrates on her hearing.

“Lot of things changed after marriage. Let me tell you. Wang Kai was a control freak even before we got married. He forbid me to do stuff, but he can’t do anything to stop me before,” Xiao Ni squinted her eyes as she looked at Zheng Shuang, Kai Xin, and Xia Sha one by one.

“So? Does he restain you that you become unhappy?” Zheng Shuang sounds concerned as a slight frown appears on her nervous face.

The silence between pause breaks makes the atmosphere tense. The quiet shook that Xiao Ni makes indicates a piece of bad news that they are about to hear, witness, and eventually, experience.

“Oh, no. Wang Kai would never restain me. He only- slyly do stuff so I could do what I want to do!” Xiao Ni passionately scoffed as she looked at Xia Sha.

Slyly do stuff, huh?

“Let me tell you! You are next. Birds of feathers flock together. He might not tell you his objection, but the next thing you know. You missed the event because you are too tired to walk,~” Xiao Ni said.

“That is an old trick. You fall for that?” Xia Sha raised her eyebrow in question.

“…”

“…”

“…”

There is a long silence filled the spa room as Xiao Ni’s jaw drops while Zheng Shuang and Kai Xin look confused. Xia Sha doesn’t quite understand what’s happening, but when she heard the replay of her voice in her head, she wished to hide forever in a wormhole.

“Hah? Tell me how you get away with it!” Xiao Ni seems the only one who wasn’t aware of the awkward air.

“….” Xia Sha blushed as she tried to avoid eye contact with anyone.
