It should be a delighted lunch for Xia Sha's department.
Their workaholic boss is paying and even bought two of the hottest man in the Capital City to sit on the same table with them.
But what should they do when all those privileges come with baggage. A dog-eating show interspersed with a ted talk by Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan got more interest in business the longer he leads the project. He spends more time talking with Guan Xian while Guan Xian spends more time serving more food into Xia Sha's bowl.
But it's pleasant noon for everyone. Xia Sha went back to her office with recharged spirit. She did not realize how long she had been working until Fu Qun knock on her door again.
"Boss, this is the report you need," Fu Qun posed a polite even though Xia Sha could see tired lines on his face. Xia Sha glanced at the clock and pondered for a while.
She is planning to pull an overtime tonight. However, she heard from Xiao Zhan that their department had working overtime almost every week since she takes leave. She also distributed quite some work today, so she thinks they deserve some quality rest time.
"Thank You. Tell everyone doesn't have to pull over time as long as everybody had finished the workload today. Including you," Xia Sha said as she shoves the repot from Fu Qun into her bag.
Fu Qun widened his eyes and swallowed his saliva.
"W-What? Go home? Boss, you are not firing us, right?!" he shuttered in disbelief.
Who is this Xia Sha in front of him?
The Xia Sha he knows would not let them go home before she settled everything.
He Only gives a new report for Xia Sha to reviewed. Fu Qun is ready to stay for another four hours in the office. And he is not complaining. Fu Qun realized that the company needs to recover, and it's reasonable for them to work harder.
But Xia Sha ordered everyone to go home today?
What had gotten into Boss Xia?
"I'm not. Do you want to work overtime? You could if you want," Xia Sha answer with her usual cold tone, raising one of her eyebrows toward Fu Qun.
"No! Thank you, Boss! I'll carry your order immediately!" Fu Qun walkout from Xia Sha's office without waiting for Xia Sha's answer.
Xia Sha rolled her eyes at Fu Qun and started to tidy her desk. She took some documents that she needs to finish. As Xia Sha cleared her table, Xia Sha spots the brown folder that Xiao Zhan mentions in the morning. Curious, she opens the file with a burgeoning sense of wary.
As soon as she read the whole document, she suddenly lost words.
The first document is Xiao Yu's agreement with Ling Guang that Guan Xian had shown her before. But what she did not expect is a proposal to bring The Xiao, Xia, and Zheng family together to build a group that could stand on the same level as the big Four of Capital City.
What is this proposal supposed to mean?
She put back the document into the brown folder and bring it to the paper shredder. As she about to tear the paper into pieces inside the machine, her hand suddenly froze in the air. She glances at the file again and puts it inside the drawer.
This time, the people in their department had made a circle in the new intern table. Ever since she hit the nail about Xia Sha being in love with Guan Xian, her colleagues started to crown her as the love expert.
"Intern, is this changed caused by love too?"
"Because of love? I think because she finally got her to complain from the Human Resource Department!"
"Huh huh, is that how you talk about the person you treat you to an expensive hot pot restaurant that cost your monthly annual?"
"It must be love! I knew it. Young Master Guan is amazing. He is not only handsome, but his gentle nature could melt Boss Xia's heart. Ah, dream man indeed..."
The internet pushed her eyeglasses innocently. She observes every expression around her and slowly mumbles her opinion.
"I think she wants to give us a proper rest. Mr.Xiao brags a lot about working overtime. She probably took a pity on us."
"Impossible! It must be love!"
They about to let out their argument when Xia Sha suddenly burst out from her office. Everyone suddenly froze on the ground they stand. Some even about to wet their pants when Xia Sha's glance sharply at each of them.
"Thank you for your hard work today, have a proper rest, and see you tomorrow," The sharp eyes suddenly turned into a beautiful crescent moon. The extreme transformation shooked them more than the news of the drug.
What's more shocking is when Xia Sha runs toward someone on the lift. The outstanding figure seems to dote on her when he patted her head. She hugs him with a big grin on her face as they disappear together behind the lift.
"See, love had changed our Boss Xia!"
***
Xiao Ni and Wang Kai choose Disney World to celebrate their wedding. Xia Sha, as the maid-in-honor and Guan Xian as the bride's brother, had flown along with the brides and groom.
Xia Sha looks more nervous than Xiao Ni when she walked into the castle for the wedding ceremonies. The ceremonies went on to exchange vows. Xia Sha swears she is not a crybaby, but she could not help shed tears when she heard Xiao Ni and Wang Kai's vows toward each other.
It's when a big, warm hand suddenly slips between her finger.
Xia Sha could not explain that little touch turns her heart into a cozy and warm place. She looked up and gave her best smile in reply to Guan Xian's charming grin.
"Don't worry. My sister is a beautiful bride. But you will be the most beautiful bride in our wedding soon," He whispered in her right ears. His voice suddenly turns husky as a mischievous glint alight on his eyes.
Three lines of distress appear on Xia Sha's forehead. She averted her gaze from Guan Xian and rolled her eyes. But she could not stop the muscle on her cheek that pull her lips into a smile.
"Silly," she murmured when Guan Xian winked at her.
They proceed to witness the wedding until it ended. When the brides and groom had gone to their room, Xia Sha also went back to her room. She only felt her body is aching after she sat down on the sofa and stretched her neck.
"Ah, marriage is tiring," she hissed as she hit her sore calf.
When she wanted to lay her back, someone rang her room bell. Xia Sha groaned and pushed herself to open the door. She is about to complain when she sees mother Guan and Guan Xian standing in front of her door.
"A-Auntie," Xia Sha is surprised and quickly glances at the bad and heels she threw carelessly on the ground. Xia Sha forced a smile when she tried to cover the mess.
"Xia Sha, you must be tired. Aunty comes with Guan Xian to deliver something for you. Can we go in?" Mother Guan shows an understanding smile, which makes Xia Sha hesitance slightly diminished.
Guan Xian smirked as he stands tall behind her mother. He fakes a cough as soon as their eyes meet. He probably had seen the mess inside but said nothing to help her!
Grrr..., this man is impossible.
"Of course you may, but it's a little bit messy," Xia Sha lowered her head and touched the back of her neck. She almost cried when she see her barefoot.
"Aiya, Aunty understand. Wearing high heels and dressing up to look pretty makes us women uncomfortable most of the time. Do you think I didn't do the same thing?" Mother Guan winked. Her words make Xia Sha embarrassed, but weirdly she felt better.
"How about this. I will wait for you in Guan Xian's room. I'm sure he hadn't even landed his foot there since he prepared to play with the boy's after-party," Mother Guan sneer at Guan Xian, who showed an innocent smile.
"Well, I won't be long," Xia Sha smiles and send them off.
After their departure, Xia Sha decided to clean up her mess and check herself in the mirror. She keeps her bridesmaid dress but changed her heels into a comfortable pair. Wasting no time, she went into Guan Xian rooms on different floors.
She pressed the bell after checking her reflection on the phone for one last time. Guan Xian welcomed her with his usual smiles. However, it appears to be wider today.
"Come in," he pulled Xia Sha's wrist and escorted her to the living room of the room.
"Slow down," Xia Sha murmured upon realized how excited Guan Xian seems to be. She doesn't understand why, but her heart keeps beating faster than she usually does. As if she knew something big in her life might happen the next moment.
Xia Sha knew her gut did not fail her when she spots grandmother Guan, grandfather Guan, Father Guan, Mother Guan, along with Xiao Ni and Wang Kai in the room. All of them smiled and look at Xia Sha as if they had been expecting her appearance.
"There you are. Come here child, We had something for you," Grandmother Guan said tenderly. She makes Xia Sha sit in front of her as she touches a jade bracelet on her fragile wrist.
Xia Sha still appears to be lost in the middle of the weird situations. She steals glances at Guan Xian, who take a seat next to her- Thank God he did not leave her alone.
"I heard Guan Xian, and you agreed on a committed relationship? We are here to give our blessing upon your marriage."
