But before she could speak he has stood off and pointed at her. "The more you push me away, the more I will be plastering you!"
Xia Sha, Tang Yu Bin, Fu Qun: "..."
How is this business meeting has become a battlefield of love?
Xia Sha is rendered speechless at him that she could not come up with a better comeback. In the end, facing the furious man, she could only say, "You are mad."
Mad, definitely mad! She has deliberately acted as their date exists only for business matters. She has a hidden agenda behind it. Why is this guy so stubborn?
Guan Xian's eyes filled with an excitement which Xia Sha could not find the reason for it. His frown has turn upside down into a smirk. "Finally, we have something in common."
He picked up Xia Sha's report and skims read everything. Obliviously only an act to support his 'cool benefactor' images. "You know what to do if you want this in," Guan Xian slides the report back to her, smiling at her charmingly before he walks away from the meeting room.
Xia Sha gasp and laughed in disbelief. "Did he just-" she could not finish her sentence because she knew she started this.
Guan Xian's smiles radically changed when he reached the door. Tang Yun Bin slate glances and gets nervous when he saw Guan Xian's cold face.
His boss rarely frowns or show a flat expression. He is not like Wang Kai, who directly shows his fondness or hatred at people. Guan Xian is a smiling tiger than would play with his prey slowly before he swallowed them.
Initially, they should fly to X city at four. But when Fu Qun called and made a sudden appointment, Guan Xian pushed his schedule just to fit Miss Xia in. He looks so happy and cheerful. Who would have known this meeting is simply a trap for him.
"Boss, Helicopter is waiting at R building two blocks from here." Tang Yu Bin diverted his attention from the infuriating woman inside the meeting room.
Guan Xian lowered his head and slightly glance at the meeting room door before he nods his head and walks away from Xia company building.
In the car, he lay out all the information about Xia Sha. He hated being like this. Based on his past understanding, he should felt unbothered when the woman he hit on takes a little advantage of him. But Xia Sha doing this to him just make him pissed off.
"I must be insane," he murmured to himself. He felt so stupid to think he could have a normal relationship and committed to a girl. He starts to think of canceling his flight and go to a nearby bar. Drinking his sorrow and make his heart numb.
But a call from his little sister save him from the thought. "Brother! How is it going?" she asked with full excitement. Her question make his eyes turn bleaks once again, but he could never reveal what really happens to Xiao Ni.
He doesn't want another war erupted between these two women.
"It's a meeting, a formal business meeting. What did you expect to happen?" He fake scolding her.
"Well, I don't know? a kiss, maybe?" He could hear Xiao Ni's giggles before a sigh comes into his ears. "I still could not believe you did not kiss her under such beautiful scenery!"
"Well, your brother is not a jerk as your fiancee." Guan Xian said with his usual laconic manners. Xiao Ni scoffed, and Guan Xian has to guess she would defend Wang Kai in the next sentence.
"I need to fly now. I'll see you on Sunday, breakfast?" Guan Xian said before Xiao Ni could say something about Wang Kai and worsen the mood.
"Okay, I'll see you on Sunday brunch at grandfather's house." Xiao Ni answers hesitantly, catching Wang Kai's staring at her from his working desk. Xiao Ni pouted her lips before stood up and seat in front of him.
"My brother sounds upset. But he did not want to talk it with me. Do you think he got rejected by Xia Sha again?" Xiao Ni asked Wang Kai.
"I'm sure he will be alright. At least he won't have a son knocking on his door out of the blue." Wang Kai shrugs his shoulder and smiles innocently at Xiao Ni, who is glaring at him.
"You still dare to mention it? do you want to die?" Xiao Ni curled her finger into a fist. Wang Kai chuckle lightly and ruffled her hair from across the seat.
"Guan Xian is not as lucky as me." He sighs and looks at Xiao Ni with a tender smile. His wife's slave expression is a hundred and eighty degrees from his usual cold appearance.
"You are right. Xia Sha would not tolerate a fiancee like you. Much more, my notorious womanizer brother. Sigh, I'm so worried about him." Xiao Ni sigh for the second time as she put her right cheek on the desk.
"Why are you so worried. You should worry about yourself than your brother." Wang Kai's finger reaches for her long hair and plays with it gently. It's like he found his new entertainment and amused by it.
"You know my brother is an emotional blockhead. Apart from that short affair with Kiara in Cambridge, God knew how he hasn't turned gay right now." Xiao Ni straightens up his back and rolls her eyes at Wang Kai.
Wang Kai wrinkles his nose, looking cute in Xiao Ni's eyes. "You knew about Kiara?" he tried his best not to laugh.
"I accidentally found their love letters and email." Xiao Ni said in a small voice, sound suspicious to Wang Kai. Before Wang Kai opens his mouth to shot her with his correct guess, she soft slam the table with determination.
"My point is, he lacks experience and sounds upset right now. Can you talk to him later?" Xiao Ni turns to Wang Kai. Wang Kai smirks and slowly nods his head. "Fine, one kiss. I'll consider it done."
Xiao Ni: "..." You need a fee to help your best friend? No wonder my brother is so angry at you :)
***
Just as he promised Xiao Ni, Wang Kai called Guan Xian after dinner with his sister. When Guan Xian picks up his phone, Wang Kai is surprised because he heard no nosy background.
"You are in X city and did not go to the bunker? I suddenly believe in miracles." Wang Kai smirked as he walks to his balcony.
"Shut it. why do you call?" Guan Xian did not bother to hide his bad mood in front of Wang Kai. Different from Xiao Ni, he wanted to troublesome Wang Kai ever since hatred joined their friendships.
"I'm afraid you will kill yourself for a broken heart. What happen?"
Guan Xian looks at the dark sky above him as he sits in front of the pool. The quiet atmosphere makes him felt more melancholic and depressed but for the first time, he prefers being this way rather than spending 'fun' night at the bunker.
He took a deep sigh and finally talk to Wang Kai. "I don't know, it's very confusing. She keeps playing this pull and push game with me. I don't even know anymore."
"It's called woman, they like to keep you chasing them. They wanted to put you on a test, how willing this man sacrifices for me? how deep is his love for me? which more important, his friends or me, and a load of it."
Wang Kai did not have any difficulties in explaining the push and pull game. After all, he and Xiao Ni play this game for more than ten years. But he understands for a direct person like Guan Xian, this game might be confusing.
Guan Xian: "..."
"My sister did that to you? Brother, you suffer a lot." Wang Kai earns another respect from Guan Xian.
"Well, you might found it troublesome." Wang Kai guesses and he's right as usual. Guan Xian finds this game too time-consuming. He likes her and she clearly attracted to him, why do they need to go in a circle?
"But this push and pull game is crucial, and not only girl can does this. We, men, should have these tricks too. This way we can keep the fire in your relationship burning."
"Bro, Bro, Bro, stop right there. I don't understand your psychological plays. We are supposed to be confusing too?" Guan Xian is so serious that he stood up from the pool chair.
Wang Kau went silent for a few seconds before he finds the perfect analogy Guan Xian could possibly understand. "When you are racing, you can't possibly push accelerator whole the time. You need the perfect timing to accelerate and brakes if you want to win."
"Ohhh..." Guan Xian takes a note on his head.
"Of course, you should learn the circuit before you arrange your strategies. Do you understand?" Wang Kai questions his friend carefully. He hopes he does because he wanted to call Xiao Ni after this.
"I think, I am. Thank you, bro!" Guan Xian nods his head slightly. His heart is filled with new hope after listening to Wang Kai.
"Welcome. But-"
Tut. Tut. Tut.
Wang Kai pulls his phone from his ears and found Guan Xian has cut off the call before he finishes his sentence.
"Be careful, don't fall into that circle..."
Alas, the phone has died and Guan Xian has arranged his new strategies.
