Chapter 78: So, What Do You Take Me As?

Xia Sha watch Guan Xian suits himself in the chair in front of her desk. He took out the noodle bowls one by one while lecturing Xia Sha about eating.

"No matter how important your work is, you should eat." Guan Xian said while he opens the noodle bowl lid. The tempting smells of broth spread all over Xia Sha's office in no time. It calls all the hungry caterpillar in Xia Sha's stomach to go wild.

Xia Sha's gaze falls on the looking-delicious noodle. She gulped her saliva as her mouth filled with drool. 

"Do you know that the ability to eat itself is a blessing?" He shook his head when he sees Xia Sha's hungry looks while breaking apart the wooden chopstick into two.

"I said, Why are you working so hard? To feed yourself so you won't starve. That is simple logic, but it got twisted the other way around in your mind," Guan Xian babbles. He rubs the chopstick together to removes the splinters. 

"Life and work are not as simple as eating food. Moreover, who said I hadn't eaten anything. I've my dinner at my grandpa's house." Xia Sha chimed in as she pulls the other noodle bowls to her side. 

Guan Xian scoffed and pulled back Xia Sha's noodle bowl to his side. "Ck! I'm worried about you for nothing! Since you've eaten, then don't eat my noodle again."

Xia Sha's jaw dropped to the ground. The worms in her stomach protest even wilder inside. "You have two! You will gain fat and indigestion for eating two bowls of noodles in the morning!"

'I want the noodle! I want a noodle!' 

"I'm a guy. I'm not worried about gaining fat. Shouldn't you be worried?" He tilted his head innocently at Xia Sha.

She shot him a sharp glare and snapped, "Then bring your noodles out from my office!" 

So petty! It's only a noodle. She can make a takeaway order anytime. She hopes he gets indigestion afterward!

Guan Xian pretended to be deaf and ignore Xia Sha. Instead, he deliberately sniffed the noodle smells and said, "Hmmm... Do you smell that? That is a thirty hour-long processed broth. It's rich and savory. Japan people called it UMAMI." 

Xia Sha's face darkened upon his exaggerated expressions. 

She knew it! She could smell the savory taste of the broth the moment he opens the lids. But now she couldn't taste the broth, the more she wanted to try it! Damn it!

"This noodle is freshly handmade. It's thin and chewy, a perfect fit for the broth. Ah, What did I do in my past lives to ever find this noodle? I'm so thankful." Guan Xian pressed his lips together while looking at the noddle with passion.

Xia Sha holds her breath and forces herself to look away. She won't lose to Guan Xian's cruel temptation. No, Xia Sha is fine. She has work to finish, and the noodle is not that delicious. It's only his exaggerated form of expression that make the broth smells so good. 

So good, she felt her tongue melt when she slurped the soup...

ASDFGHJK!

Damn it! She couldn't concentrate! 

Guan Xian pressed his lips to hide the amused smile when he caught Xia Sha stealing glances at the noodle bowl. She bites her nails to hold the urge to steal from him. 

Giving in, Guan Xian put down his chopstick and push the untouched noodle bowl to Xia Sha's side. Xia Sha widens her eyes but quickly changes her surprised face to her smug face. "I don't want your noodle." 

"You don't need to play hard to get. I knew you are stealing glances a few times already. Here, eat while it's hot." He pulls her hand and places the chopstick he prepared before in her palm. 

"I-" Xia Sha wanted to save her face.

"Eat!" He orders with a threatening look that says, 'say something, and I'll take your noodles, again.'

Xia Sha dares not to refutes no more. She buried her head low and started to eat the noodle. When the broth she keeps thinking about entering her mouth, she felt her mind almost exploded. 

"It tastes even better than what I imagine in my mind," She subconsciously praised while shaking her head in disbelief. Guan Xian laughed at her reaction. He snaps his left finger and makes a 'gun-like finger.' 

"This is how you should eat your food! With gratitude and happiness!" 

It's so delicious that Xia Sha groaned and do her little happy dance when she eats.

"Where do they sell this? I need to know." Xia Sha said when she slurps the last drop of her broth. Guan Xian, who has finished his noodle for quite some time and now enjoying Xia Sha's eat show, is smiling mischievously. 

"I'm not telling you." 

Xia Sha hissed at him after she drinks. "Stingy," she murmured with an ugly face. 

Guan Xian dimples show as he deliberately poses like a beautiful flower on the table. "What to do now? Every time you crave this delicious noodle, you need to come to me. Alas, it's a good thing I'm your boyfriend now." 

Xia Sha: '..." 

"Hm, I've eaten now. You can go and take a rest," Xia Sha tried to sound cold although Guan Xian has seen her cheek flushed. He chuckles lowly at her. 

"Do you take mistake me as the food delivery man?" 

"What kind of delivery man arrogantly eat their costumer's food like this?" Xia Sha rolls her eyes.

"So, what do you take me as?" His dark, brown eyes brighten up as he stares at her with a smirk.

It's a trap! 

It's a trap question! 

Sh*t she should have known He is crafty with his words!

Xia Sha averted her gaze back to her computer to avoid his burning eyes. "My benefactor told you already," she said. 

Guan Xian pointed his index finger at her and pressed his lips, dissatisfied. "Look at you trying to get back on your words." 

Xia Sha acts indifferently, typing random words on her computer only to looks busy, although her ears and mind solely on Guan Xian. Guan Xian lean back to his seat, dispirited, but he also didn't complain anymore. However, she does hear him murmured, "Next time, I'll make you sign an agreement on black and white." 

Xia Sha holds the laughter on the tip of her tongue. 

Guan Xian glance at her and smiles. 

"Okay! It is the last time I'll let you fool me." He said to her proudly, with attracting dimples on his cheeks. "Next time, you can't run away anymore. I'll make you say yes, with a witness."

Ah, he agreed, just like that?

She thought she needs to plan something to escape from the effect her foul mouth caused. 

Xia Sha didn't respond to him. She tried to make her mind concentrated on the work in front of her. She needs to finish this before seven in the morning, so she can call an emergency meeting and discuss the overview of this problem. 

However, with Guan Xian's eyes glued to her face, she finds it's impossible to think!

Guan Xian holds his laughter when he sees her eyebrow twitching several times because she forces herself to concentrate. After the fourth twitch, he couldn't endure himself anymore. He stands up and walks in her direction. 

"What are you doing? I'll help you." He surprised Xia Sha.

He encompassed Xia Sha between his arm. He leans forward, aligning his head with Xia Sha's head. Xia Sha froze when her back head hit his shoulder. 

"It's the legal move we wanted to take," Xia Sha explains nervously, trying to find a way to escape from him.

Guan Xian places his right hand on the top of her dainty hand. Scrolling up the text as he skims read. 

"Hm, I think you should call your lawyer to be sure. But this is actually really good." He stops on one mind map Xia Sha just made. 

"Really?" Xia Sha looks at the screen and turns to him. Her heart almost stops because she forgot how little their distance right now. 

"Yeah. I'm surprised you are really smart. I thought you only look smart." He averted his gaze back to the monitor, before the urge to kiss her soft cheeks consume his mind. 

Guan Xian, remember what Xiao Ni told you. Control yourself! You can only do something to the girl you like when she allow you. Respect! You need to respect her and yourself!

"..." Way to go. She should have learned by now to only listen to half of his sentence to avoid heartache caused by his sharp tongue. 

"Hm. You don't need to write this part. Since it's a big problem, fewer people should know the detail. Avoids words getting out, and mole found out. Oh, has you found out the mole?" He asked. 

"I have several names on the list," Xia Sha eyes turn bleak when she recalls those name on her mind. 

"Good. I hope you add your best friend's name there," He said casually, continue reading her works. 

"My best friend, who?" Xia Sha didn't think either Ruan Jing Tian, Zheng Shuang, or Kai Xin involved in this. They haven't even visited her office once. 

"The one who bought his family to tied you into marriage," He added, making Xia Sha furrowed her eyebrow. 

"Xiao Zhan? No way, he wouldn't do that to me." 

Although Xiao Zhan is irritated her tonight, she knew he would playing dirty tricks just for money. Moreover, he hates Ling Guang so much that he didn't want to look at him. 

How can he work together with Ling Guang. 

"People keep their friend close and their enemy closer. You should add him to the list, despite your beautiful past." He sounds petty. 

"No way. I knew Xiao Zhan too well. He can't even stand the sight of Ling Guang. 

"Oh? You haven't finished reading the file I gave you?" Guan Xian pulls his hand and crosses it over his chest. Xia Sha didn't answer but look at him with a confused expression. 

Guan Xian took a deep breath and finally said something, "You should read and find out yourself."
