Chapter 169: You Don't Have To Stay Broken.

Xia Sha squinted her eyes when Guan Xian suddenly take the empty seat next to her. She hasn't seen him since Meng Ran tried to provoke her in the bowling lane. She tried to ask Ji Cun Xi, but he somehow keeps engage her in unwanted conversation. 

"Where have you been?" she probed a question as soon as their eyes met. 

"Uh? Why? Did you miss me?" Guan Xian seems surprised Xia Sha would ask him straightforwardly. Usually, she would play with words and avoid direct questioning. 

Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow and averted her gaze almost instantly. Guan Xian wrinkled his nose when people from their table shot him a questioning glance. 

"I was talking with Xiao Ni. She seems sad because Wang Kai bought Bai Jing as his date," Guan Xian stares appraisingly at Xia Sha. His mouth quirks up. 

Xia Sha's expression softens after she heard Guan Xian's answer. She leaned slightly toward Guan Xian and whispered in a low voice. 

"They used to be a best friend. What happen?" Xia Sha asked curiously. 

"I guess people drifted apart when they don't have the same vision anymore," Guan Xian answer wisely but shrugged his shoulder indifferently. 

"Oh," Xia Sha nodded her head slightly and turned to Xiao Ni on the other table, observing her expression. 

Xiao Ni should be sitting at the same table with Guan Xian since they are family. However, she invited a personal guest she needs to entertain (Xavier and his daughter, Sienna, from Italy), Xiao Ni could not sit with the Guan family. 

Guan Xian and his brilliant mind then come up with the idea to put Xia Sha, Xia Qi Feng, and Shen Xia Fei on the same table with the Guan family. However, Shen Xia Fei did not attend the charity, and Xia Qi Feng hasn't seen around. 

Xia Sha is miserable before Guan Xian comes. Imagine sitting with your boyfriend's parent while your boyfriend is not around. 

And, as if it's not awkward enough, every eye on the room is observing your table. 

Xia Sha could not imagine how she could go through this crisis if her mother and father Guan is not lovely and friendly. But there is still some anger directed at Guan Xian for putting her into this tough spot. 

It would be great if she had Xiao Ni at this table. 

That is what Xia Sha's thought before. But after witnessing how dark and conflicted Xiao Ni on her table right now, she pitied her instead. 

"Tsk! What is Wang Kai thinking? How could he do this to Xiao Ni?" Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow as she shifted her gaze to Wang Kai and Bai Jing's direction. 

All individuals at the table followed her direction. Everyone put on the same cold face at Wang Kai. Especially father Guan, who felt hurt and somewhat betrayed by Wang Kai. 

"Hmph! I don't even know. Is there any good man left in this world? I don't understand why they treated my Xiao Ni this way," he scowls. 

Mother Guan spare father Guan some warning look. She placed a glass of wine to father Guan and gritted her teeth. 

"What are you saying? Don't you realized that your son is also a man! Moreover, there is Xia Sha at this table! Don't scare my future daughter-in-law with your nonsense!" Mother Guan pinched Father Guan's tight as she laughs for Xia Sha, ignoring her husband's silent cry. 

"Xia Sha, don't bother them. The problem between Xiao Ni and Wang Kai is-" 

Mother Guan turned to Xiao Ni with a pretentious worried gaze. But watching her daughter standing on the stage with a drunken gesture, her worried expression becomes genuine. 

Guan Xian and Xia Sha seem to followed Mother Guan's reaction. Only Father Guan remain calm upon his daughter's appearance on the stage. He even looks proud. 

"Old man! What is your daughter doing?!" Mother Guan hit Father Guan's arm panicked. 

"What is she doing? Of course, my daughter is giving her speech. She had done a great job with this charity," Guan Lin Yi smiles. 

"I'm a proud father," he added before he realized something is amiss with Xiao Ni's movement. 

"Is she drunk?" Guan Lin Yi rounded his eyes in surprise. Guan Qian Si rolled her eyes cynically at her husband and turned to Guan Xian instead.

"Guan Xian! Quick! Your little sister wanted to do something stupid again!" Mother Guan urged Guan Xian. Her face is ghastly white as her heart filled with worried. 

"Oh!" Guan Xian replied. 

He panicked and ran to the stage to stops drunk Xiao Ni for ruining her hard-arranged event. He is about to reached Xiao Ni. But it's all too late since Xiao Ni has spoken through the microphone. 

"Hello everyone! Tonight~ I want to tell everyone something special," Xiao Ni announced. 

Xia Sha took swallowed a big gulp when Xiao Ni started to smiles brightly. Xiao Ni's eyes are sparkling as it has always been. But there is unspeakable sadness written on it. 

The whole ballroom turned quiet as Xiao Ni stood at the stages alone. Beautiful in her spotless dress as always. 

She is still shining, even though she is broke inside. Xiao Ni's condition right now somehow slapped Xia Sha with a sudden realization. 

Yes, Xiao Ni felt miserable and dying inside.

Yes, there is a big chance Xiao Ni will lose the man she loves forever.

Yes, her heart is breaking.

Yes, there is a chance that she will get cheated by Wang Kai.

Xiao Ni's steadfastness and conviction turned into a gentle voice in Xia Sha's ear. 

"The world might break you apart. But if you're broken, you don't have to stay broken."

Xia Sha suddenly gains a different level of respect for Xiao Ni. She admires Xiao Ni's courage and bravery to be true to her feeling. 

"From now on, I announced to all of you that I, Guan Xiao Ni...." She confidently said.

Hop! 

"Hmph.... hmph... hmph..." 

Before Xiao Ni finishes her sentence, Guan Xian has appeared at the stage. He posed dashingly handsome smiles for the guess as he grabbed the microphone from Xiao Ni's hand.

"Sorry everyone, my sister likes to jokes around. She wants to say that she will play a song for all of you to accompany your dinner tonight!" Guan Xian makes up some random excuses. 

Xia Sha recognizes that stupified expression of him. A smile broke on her face. He must've realized his random excuse had put their family name in more dangerous situations. 

Xiao Ni is drunk. How could she play the piano in her state right now?

But Xiao Ni surprisingly nods her head obediently. Her eyes seem alive, alight with some wicked thought.

"Sure, I want to present to you my special performances. Please welcome Mr. Wang Kai as my partner." she forcefully snatches the mic from Guan Xian.

Guan Xian makes a 'can-you-please-stop-making-trouble?' look for Xiao Ni. Obviously, he got ignored by Xiao Ni. 

Xiao Ni turned to the piano and sat elegantly. A moment later, Wang Kai sat next to her. They look like coming straight out from the fairytale when they sat side by side. 

Xia Sha raised her eyebrow when she watched Wang Kai covering Xiao Ni's backless dress with his suit. He looks calm, but everyone could notice his frown.

The whole crowd loses their sanity when they watch both of them a seat on the same chair. Round applause and gasp started to fill the hall when they played a perfect harmony together. Xiao Ni and Wang Kai had bewitched the guess with their piano plays. 

"Hubby, Hubby! Look at them! I swear no matter what happens, I will only let Wang Kai marry Xiao Ni," Mother Guan expressed her adoration. She looked at Wang Kai and Xiao Ni in an aw, hitting Father Guan's arm excitedly. 

Xia Sha smiles and secretly agrees with mother Guan. Xiao Ni looked the happiest when she had Wang Kai beside her. I might be the same with Guan Xian and her. 

She feels the happiest when Guan Xian walked down from the stage and approached her with his charming smile. 

"Mission accomplish?" She grinned at Guan Xian. 

"What accomplished? Don't you see the tension between them? They are fighting on the piano like crazy!" Guan Xian lowered his voice so only Xia Sha could hear him. 

"Ah? They are fighting?" Xia Sha said in disbelief and took another look at Xiao Ni and Wang Kai. 

Xia Sha witnesses A frosty smile on Wang Kai's face and a cynical look from Xiao Ni. Xia Sha smiles wryly. 

"I think I should take over the charity event from Xiao Ni," Guan Xian frowned and pinched the bridge between his thick eyebrow. Xia Sha patted his back to show her empathy. 

"I'll be with Xiao Ni. A consolation or a company would work. Maybe?" Xia Sha said with a bright smile on her face. 

Guan Xian looks surprised because Xia Sha takes an initiative to get close to his family this time. A wide, relieved smile is plastering his face as he thanked her. 

Xia Sha did not reply, but she does remember the past days she spends with Xiao Ni. Consider this as a direct payment, she thought. 

She did not notice Guan Xian's text to his team. 

GX: Carry on the next mission at the charity session. 

Team 1: Copied Boss Man! Target 1 locked.
