Chapter 220: Whenever You Are Ready.

"Are you sure?" Xia Sha slightly furrowed her eyebrow as she turned to Guan Xian.

She thought Guan Xian is careless as he let the notes slip inside the prenup. But if Guan Xian is sure that he never put the sticky notes inside, this could be a whole different kind of a mess. 

Guan Xian looked at Xia Sha and put on a mischievous grin. Playing with the notes between his index and middle finger, he teased Xia Sha, "Are you worried about me? What a good Mrs. Guan." 

Xia Sha's instantly got flustered by Guan Xian but infuriated at the same time. However, she learns to notice that she only would make Guan Xian satisfied if she got angry. 

"Forget it, I won't fall into your traps again," Xia Sha replied calmly, as she squared her shoulder to appear taller. 

Guan Xian felt amused by Xia Sha's every little action and word. He grins to himself as he crumpled the note before he aimed them into the trash bin around the corner. When the ball of paper falls inside perfectly, his lips curled into a boyish smile. 

"And- yep, I still got it," he proudly turned to Xia Sha. 

"I thought it's important?" Xia Sha raised one of her eyebrows. 

"It's just a meeting note. I'm sure Tang Yu Bin had made the report about it," Guan Xian shrugs his shoulder as he placed both of his hands on Xia Sha's shoulder. 

"Why is your body felt so tense? Do you have something bothering you?" Guan Xian asked in a worried tone. The former bright smile on his face turned into a frown. 

Xia Sha took a sharp breath as Guan Xian's words and care weigh down inside her heart. Heavily. 

She took another glance at the file next to their prenup agreement. Xia Sha felt anxious as if she had betrayed her Guan Xian if she did not tell him about Xiao's family plan. But at the same time, she did not know how to answer if Guan Xian about to ask why Xia Sha tells him now only when she had the file this whole time. 

"Xia Sha? What is it?"

Guan Xian's tender gaze breaks her train of thought. His passionate souls put shame on her tangled thoughts. 

"I have something to tell you. It's been for a while now." 

Xia Sha could feel the support Guan Xian gave when a smile spreads across his face. Suddenly her hand felt light as she handed him the file Xiao Zhan left on her desk. 

"This is the proposal Xiao Zhan gave to me. The Xiao family wanted to unite The Xia, Xiao, and Zheng company into one. Their goal is to make-"

"To become the fifth big five, right?" 

Guan Xian is surprisingly composed and did not look surprised at all. Instead of reacting like the scenarios Xia Sha had on her mind, Guan Xian chuckles as if he heard old jokes. 

"I wonder when they will ever evolve. The Xiao had the same plan over the decades. It's getting moldy."

Xia Sha could not proceed with Guan Xian's word. Her forehead filled with a line of confusion, and Guan Xian is more than delighted to explains. 

"Have you ever wonder why my mother or Wang Kai's mother stop attending any parties, except the one we initiate? Too much matchmaking and shady business," Guan Xian mocked as he knocked on the file Xiao family gave with his fingertips. 

Xia Sha suddenly remembers Xiao Zhan's father's reputation. If she carefully traceback everything, she found the Xiao family's plan is quite apparent. No wonder Guan Xian did not seems to be surprised at all. 

"Does that mean this plan has been made over a decade ago but never succeed?"

Guan Xian patted the top of Xia Sha's head when Xia Sha's expression turns bleak. He knew Xia Sha finally understand, but he needs to make another point clear for her. 

"Yeah, and no, not because we prevent them or anything. We are too busy to deal with that," Guan Xian added when Xia Sha a familiar suspicious glint flashed across Xia Sha's eyes. 

"I did not think that way!" Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow as she understands what Guan Xian is implying. Before Guan Xian could say something, Xia Sha quickly completes her sentence. 

"I was wondering if Xiao Yu genuinely loves Zheng Shuang, or it all just a pretense? These people were frightening," Xia Sha murmured.

Her heart felt chilly the moment she realized how vulnerable people in love. No wonder people say love makes people blind. She, herself, could not even differentiate between real or fake love. Not before, not even now. 

Ah, those evil little thoughts come back again. All the insecurities and distrust, the old friend of hers, did not even care when she had a glimpse of the loving facade on Guan Xian's eyes. 

"I bet he does. I could see it through his eyes. It just, ambition got the best of him sometimes," Guan Xian answer as he stood from his seat and walked to Xia Sha's back. In a blink, Xia Sha felt a warm body wrapping her in close. She felt and comfortable and safe under his embrace. 

"I love you," he gently whispers on her ears, a kiss planted on her shoulder as if he knew the burdens on her back and shadows on her heart. He knew, and he is trying to help her throw it away. 

"You do?" she asked like a kid, knowing well the answer in her heart. 

"Yes, I do love you. There is no doubt in that," Guan Xian replied touched the depth of Xia Sha's heart. She turned to him and kissed the top of his forehead. 

There is surprise and passion in Guan Xian's heart as he tightened his arm around Xia Sha's delicate body. In a slightly annoyed tone, he murmured with a frown on his handsome face, "How I wish I could throw you to the bed and doing 'innocent stuff' right now."

He is using the word innocent shamelessly, without a second of hesitation in his voice. Xia Sha was rendered speechless. 

She broke free from Guan Xian's hug and pulled the thick prenup agreement into her chest. "I still have the stuff to read. Do this gentleman mind if I take my time alone?" 

A mischievous smirk on her smiles burned down Guan Xian's chest. She raised her eyebrow and bit the lower lips slightly. Guan Xian's chest bobbed up and down as he tried to control his body. 

"You don't mind, do you?" Xia Sha said in her raspy, hoarse voice.

Guan Xian widened her eyes and looked at Xia Sha as if she would be the case of his death. He clenches his fist hard. Hard enough to turn his knuckled into white. 

"I hate that I gave you control over me," Guan Xian groaned as he frustratedly pulled Xia Sha's wrist and carried her like a potato sack. 

"Kya!" Xia Sha's squeals followed by satisfied giggles. The next thing she knew, they had done the innocent activities as Guan Xian likes to call it. In the middle of the activities, Guan Xian pinned Xia Sha in the bed. Xia Sha suddenly blurted out something that makes Guan Xian almost had a heart attack. 

"Oh, by the way, I think we need time to prepare for the wedding," Xia Sha said in between her racing heartbeat. 

Guan Xian looks a little bit pissed but sobered the moment later. He lowered his head and touched her nose with his soft and warm lips. "I knew. I figure it out already. My parents will soon meet you. Approximately this Sunday, if that's okay with you?" 

"T-This Sunday?!" Xia Sha's surprised reaction is more than what Guan Xian imagine in his head. He tilted his head and stole another peck from her swollen lips. 

"Why?" he asked, half-hearted as he began to lose his focus on the conversation. 

Xia Sha smacked his traveling hand and forced him to look at her eyes. Something that she soon regrets because Guan Xian finds out her negligence almost instantly. She took a sum of courage when Guan Xian's face changed. 

"You haven't told your parents, aren't you?" he sounds serious as he leaps away from her body. 

"Well-" Xia Sha tried to explain, but she realized she shouldn't be defending herself right now. She shut her mouth and looked at Guan Xian with a rare expression she never used before. 

"I- I don't even know what to say," Guan Xian sighed as he tucked blanket to cover Xia Sha's body. 

"I'll tell you later, I swear," Xia Sha promised. 

Guan Xian remains frowning as he shook his head and pressed his lips into a thin line. He went silent for a moment before he finally nods his head. He carest Xia Sha's supple cheek as he comforts her, "It's okay, take your time. Tell them whenever you are ready." 

"I don't mean that-"

"It's okay, let's sleep for now." 

Xia Sha went into a long thought as she watches Guan Xian fall asleep. She knew Guan Xian always tolerate her all this time, but, until when?
