"No, they were scared of Guan Xian. Wen Rou threatened me to break up with him. That is why I decided to marry him."
Guan Xian bit his lower lips and turned to Xia Sha slowly. He nodded his head slowly, emitting a cold aura he never directed to Xia Sha before.
"Xia Sha, could you barely survive this enemy? How can you stay alive if you make Young Master Guan turn his back against you?"
That what Xia Sha said before. He thought that was sweet-nothing that she utters to bloom springs on her heart. Turn out Guan Xian failed to understand the double meaning she wanted to say :)
"Ah, so this is the truth," he intimidates Xia Sha with his sharp glance.
Xia Sha holds her breath and leaned back. She tried to draw a clear distance from Guan Xian. In case Xia Sha needs to run for her life. She posed a sweet smile to Guan Xin, hope it will soften his heart right now.
"Baby, it's not entirely like that," Xia Sha said.
Guan Xian's lips twitched. She never heard Xia Sha use endearment in front of his friend before. He never thought she would spat those world willingly to save her life.
"Oh, so there is a double meaning. Or triple? how many meaning do those you don't want to live without me carry?" Guan Xian widens his eyes, showing a wicked wide grin at Xia Sha.
Xia Sha pressed her lips. Her heart is racing. She keeps making a distance while Guan Xian leans inwardly to her until she reaches the end of the chair. She shot an SOS glance at Jian Jun and Ji Cun Xi in urgent.
"Why do you look at them? Do you think anyone can save you right now?" Guan Xian narrowed his eyes and slowly stretched his arm to catch Xia Sha's arm. He knew she is about to fall if she kept avoiding him. Thus he planned to pull her to his side at the last moment.
Who would know before he can objectify his plan someone has pulled Xia Sha behind their body and shot him a dagger look?
"Gasp," Xia Sha was also surprised after taken by someone. She got a small heart attack when she realized the man who helped her from Guan Xian is...
"Ji Cun Xi, move away," Guan Xian frowned at Ji Cun Xi.
"Tsk! Brother, she asked for help. As a true gentleman, I could not stand myself to help when someone needed help. You, on the other hand, is this the way you treat your fiancee?" Ji Cun Xi's critique stabbed Guan Xian's heart like a dagger.
Guan Xian scoffed and moved his gaze from Ji Cun Xi's milky white face. Ji Cun Xi's face is ugly and annoying right now. He could not stand him.
But Ji Cun Xi turned even more irritating when Guan Xian's found something that burns his blood.
"Ji Cun Xi-" Guan Xian called his name with his deep voice. A tone is full of warning. Ji Cun Xi suddenly become alerted at Guan Xian's wrath mode.
Guan Xian's face turned as dark as pot bottom when he sees Ji Cun Xi's hand is holding Xia Sha's arm. Ji Cun Xi notice the source of Guan Xian's ugly face and release Xia Sha's arm as if it's a plague.
"Jian Jun, that is not the way you treated your brother's girlfriend. It's an example. We need to Lookup for more in the future. We need to respect Xiao Ni as Wang Kai's girlfriend," Ji Cun Xi let out a nervous laugh and throw the blame at Jian Jun.
Xia Sha: "..."
Guan Xian remains stoic at Ji Cun Xi's joke. Ji Cun Xi takes a little step to escape from Guan Xian's sight.
But it was too late. Ji Cun Xi won't ever escape once he decided to help Xia Sha. Not because Guan Xian is merciless. But because Xia Sha would not let go of him!
When Ji Cun Xi is about to return to his seat, Xia Sha grasped into his back collar and used him as her shield.
"Wei! This fellow! What are you doing? Let me go?"
"Hello? Don't you see your fiance is about to kill me? Can you please not drag me into your family affairs?"
"Sigh, I regretted helping you. I should deal with my hero complex," Ji Cun Xi murmured.
Xia Sha holds into him tightly and won't release him as she peeks at Guan Xian behind Ji Cun Xi's board back.
She turned deaf at Ji Cun Xi's curse and protest. There is nothing in her mind except for Guan Xian right now.
"Guan Xian! Why are you angry at me? I never lied to you," Xia Sha shouted.
"What?! You did not lie to me with your sweet nothing?"
Guan Xian's eyebrow wrinkle. He doesn't sound pleased when he heard Xia Sha's self-defense.
"Oh. I never did. I said I could barely survive this enemy? How can you stay alive if you make Young Master Guan turn his back against me? I don't see any lies in that words. Wen Rou is trying to break us apart because she knew she would never win against you. That is why she wanted us to break up. So you could help and become her alley. I said I would not stay alive if you decided to join hand with her. I did not lie!"
Xia Sha said it in one breath. If Guan Xian weren't suffering from a sudden headache, he would praise and encourage her to start a carrier in rapping. But his head is throbbing right now, so he could only close his eyes and nod.
"Alright. Alright. You did not lie. I was wrong," Guan Xian said in a surrendering tone.
"Really? You admit that you are wrong for accusing me?" Xia Sha's eyes lit up. She looked at Guan Xian with doubt.
Guan Xian is amused. A little smile started to show on his lips even though he tries hard to keep his face straight.
"Hm. I was wrong. Can we stop fighting?" Guan Xian asked Xia Sha stared at Xia Sha with his usual gentle and warm gaze.
Xia Sha squinted her eyes, but she slowly releases Ji Cun Xi from her grasp. Because Guan Xian keeps showing his puppy eyes look, her heart finally softened. She nodded her head and return to her sit, next to Guan Xian.
"Is this how you two fight?" Ji Cun Xi stood on the former battlefield. His haw had long dropped to the floor when he witness Guan Xian's sick loving gaze at Xia Sha when she talked behind his body.
Ji Cun Xi was speechless upon watching how fast Guan Xian give in to this crafty witch that uses his body as a shield. On the sofa, Jian Jun had laughed his lung out. He even almost rolling on the floor.
What couple fights like this?
Wait. Ji Cun Xi asked the wrong question.
What is Guan Xian's position in this relationship? If he keeps acting like this, isn't he is going to lose all the argument? This situation is not much different from volunteering to be a slave. But why does this idiot seems happy and satisfied with this position?
Those questions keep haunting Ji Cun Xi's mind as he slowly returned to his comfy sofa. He stares at the screen blankly, unable to think about anything else before he cracks this weird mystery.
Because Ji Cun Xi is unable to continue his job to explain the investigation, Jian Jun filled his duty. After regaining his composure. Of course.
"Back to the investigation. Xia Sha, you were right. Zheng Shuang's impersonator most likely is the victim you bullied before. But that lady, she is the author and mind behind Wen Rou's scheme. And, as Ji Cun Xi had said. He succeeds in tracking the number location," Jian Jun stopped and suddenly looked at Xia Sha in most serious posture.
Jian Jun's eyes were cold. There is no emotion written on his well-crafted face. His speaking tone is as flat as usual. But it could make Xia Sha's heart stop beating as if she knew she would hear a piece of bad news from him.
She has smell trouble from far. Her guts are telling her that she would not like this.
Xia Sha gritted her teeth and toughed her head.
"Where?" she probed. Her voice was quiet, but she sounds quite firm.
Jian Jun averted her gaze and looked at Guan Xian. He thought he could break this news to Xia Sha because they aren't close. Turn out, he does not feel comfortable telling her.
Guan Xian's looked at his phone and read the investigation result himself. He doesn't bother to read it before because Ji Cun Xi said he wanted to show Xia Sha that he did not have any hard feelings for her anymore. J
But after Guan Xian read the report, he clutched his phone and took a deep breath. Facing Xia Sha's curious eyes, he finally makes everything clear for Xia Sha.
