Chapter 79: Next Time, Let's Catch The Sunset

"The file you got from Meng Ran?" Xia Sha murmured. 

Guan Xian nodded and back to his seat in front of Xia Sha. He said nothing but wearing a mysterious face. Xia Sha reluctantly pulls out the flash disk from her purse and put it on the CPU. 

"Wait, how can you manage to get this file from Meng Ran? Do you seduce her?!" Xia Sha raised her voice and glared at him with an upset look.

"Whoa, easy there, baby. I didn't do anything." He defended himself. But upon facing Xia Sha's deadpan, serious face, he confessed.

"I might have tricked her into thinking she is smarter than she is," Guan Xian mumbles while rubbing his chin. 

Xia Sha clicked her tongue. She averted her gaze and felt uncomfortable. Xia Sha, what are you doing? You aren't in a relationship yet. You sound so possessive right now. So embarrassing!

Guan Xian smiles when he saw her eyes avoiding his. He grinned and look at her more intently than before, "Awe, are you jealous?"

"Nonsense!" Xia Sha quickly snaps. 

"Awe! You are jealous! My heart is bursting right now, can you feel it?" Guan Xian pulls her hand over the table and puts it on his chest. Xia Sha's hand meet his warm chest, but she felt her cheeks is warmer. 

She looks at him with disbelief when she starts to felt his heartbeat over her hand. 

His heart, 

it's pounding really fast. It might even beat faster than her right now. 

Xia Sha pulls her jittery hand with the last energy she had. She might have fallen into the ground if she didn't sit on the chair right now. Guan Xian smiles and casually whisper to her, "I knew right, It keeps jumping around whenever I met you," 

"Crazy!" Xia Sha scold while hiding her blushing face away. She continues reading the files until the last file, where the investor list pages appear.

Mr. Xiao Yu. 25 million dollars. 

Xia Sha's eyes changed from shock to anger before it a mist covers her disappointment. Guan Xian look at her and carefully asked, "Still think your ex-boyfriend is not a suspect?"

"But what for?" She massages her temple. 

She couldn't believe this. The Xiao family has always been their close friends. Xiao Yu is like her own brother in the past,.Why did they do this to the Xia family? 

"Well, do you read the call of the wild?" Guan Xian suddenly asked something very out of the topic. 

Xia Sha rolls her eyes but nods her head. "I did," she answers even though she couldn't fathom, yet, what he wanted to imply. 

"NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the 'Wolf' that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack." He quotes the call of the wild so specifically. 

He tilted his head to Xia Sha and raised his eyebrow, taunting, "Understand? It's the power struggle for those below the chain." 

Xia Sha scoffed at his smug face right now, trying to surpass the urge to throw a thing at his arrogant face. 

"Is it our fault to be less capitalist than you and your 'great' friend?" She said with a denouncing face. Guan Xian chuckled and replies in low tones, "Capitalist helps run the world honey, the government would collapse without our support."

"Still sounds like capitalist suck blood to me," Xia Sha answers nonchalantly. She turns her focus back to the computer.

"Xiao Yu is sly. He has handed over the Liu family. If he could somehow combine the Xiao and Xia group, he could join the positions just one seat below the four families." Guan Xian starts to drop hints for Xia Sha. 

It's not like he wanted to show the ugly truth about the family she believes in so blatantly like this. That boy, Xiao Zhan, might say he is cheating in this fair competition if he did. However, he needs to warn her about the hungry wolf around her. 

Xia Sha look at him with a cautious look then fell into a deep silence. The Xiao family can achieve their desire if she marries Xiao Zhan as she is the sole heir to Xia Corporation. But they calculate the probabilities if she refuses, like last night. 

Thus, they use this trick. 

"All is fair in love and war, just saying." Guan Xian shrugs his shoulder. 

"So you think Xiao Zhan is the one who gives my product design to Ling Guang?" She asked in a flat tone, eyes sharp fall on him. 

"I said he could be a suspect." Guan Xian said indifferently. 

Seeing Xia Sha fall into a silent mode again, Guan Xian stretches out his hand before yawning. Something interesting caught his eyes as playful smiles rose on his face. 

Xia Sha is still pondering on these issues when she felt someone is pulling her up from her seat. Caught unprepared, she becomes limp and falls into his broad chest.

"Wh-What are you doing again?!" She pursed her lips at him. 

"Follow me!" He said enthusiastically, ignoring her frowns and drag her out from her office. 

"I need to work!" She yells and moving her wrist widely to escape from his grip. Guan Xian pretends to be deaf and open the emergency stairs door. 

He forced her to climb the stairs. Xia Sha almost wanted to throw a fit-out of tiredness. But she closes her lips when the windy breeze from the rooftop. 

Guan Xian runs to the center of the rooftops, which means she also needs to run if she didn't want to fall. "Come on, baby! We almost miss it!" 

Xia Sha's lungs filled with free air as they run on the big rooftops. Her heart pounds fast. She isn't sure it is because of running or because he called her baby. Again. 

Finally stopping, Guan Xian laughs brightly ad lets go of her wrist. 

"Look! Sunrise!" He pointed at the orange sun with a happy face. 

Xia Sha shot him a look that scold him with 'Childish!' words. Guan Xian chuckles and helps her patted her back as she controls her inspiratory systems. 

He gently smiles at her, who looks furious. He also didn't know what makes him so happy right now. It's almost felt like her soul is jumping around, bursting with happiness. 

The fresh air, sunrise, and Xia Sha felt liberating in his mind. 

And, oh boy, he is right. 

Xia Sha finally gained her breath. Guan Xian invites her to stand on the rails, watching the sun appearing from his hidden places. Xia Sha stands beside him, and her annoyed face slowly changes. 

"Look, that clouds look like a rabbit!" She suddenly squeals, pointing at one cloud. Guan Xian laughed and nodded his head, even though he couldn't see where the heck is the rabbit. 

"That looks like a shit!" He pointed at another cloud and laugh. Xia Sha laughed with him and shook her head. 

"Shouldn't young master speaks proper words only?" She asked, enjoying the wind and the view. Guan Xian hissed and lean-to her ears, "Keep this a secret from my beloved Guan Qian Si," he whispers. 

Xia Sha wrinkles her nose and slightly chuckles. 

"Hey, why do I get the same feeling like Jack and Rose in Titanic right now? You jumped, I jump?" He stands on the lower rails. 

Xia Sha widens her eyes and pulls him back instantly. "Are you crazy? You would've fallen!" she scolds. If he slips, he might die silly in such a young year. 

"Will you be sad if I died? Does that mean you have a feeling for me? A tiny, whiney. bit?" He asked with hopeful looks.

"You are board insane," Xia Sha averted her gaze, refusing to give him the answer he wanted. 

"What if I jump?" He asked with almost the same tone as she uses in the hot air balloon. Xia Sha realized this, and she blushes again. 

She tried to ignore him and dodge the questions, but he repeated his question. Only with a deep voice this time, pulling her chin towards him. 

"What if I jump?" His hot gaze is breaking all the fort she builds inside. She blinks slowly, trying hard not to get bewitched by him. 

Xia Sha rack her brain to answer his question. Guan Xian's eyes never leave her pupils. Instead, it intensifies that Xia Sha gets intimidated by him. 

"If you jump, I jump." She said slowly with playful looks to hide her nervousness inside. 

Guan Xian falls into silence for five heartbeats before a wide smile breaking him apart. "Are you seriously quoting Titatinc right now? Way to go to ruin the mood." He sniffed. 

Xia Sha smiles quietly and returns her gaze back to the sun rising. Guan Xian secretly observing her face without her knowing. Once again, she becomes the mesmerizing views he adores. 

How many beautiful places he has visited, and how many pictures he has taken? He almost felt proud of her photography skills and brag about it. But it turns out, what his lens capture could never beat what his eyes see when Xia Sha is in the view. 

She is, breathtaking. The view he wanted to see every day if he can. 

Xia Sha turns at him slowly, maybe after she realized his gaze on her. "What?" She raised her eyebrow. 

Guan Xian smiles faintly, turn his head to the beautiful view in front of him. "We've caught the sunrise twice, next time, let's catch the sunset." 

He is expecting her to refuse like she usually would. But who knew he would her agreeing instead. 

"Will waiting for that," she smiles at the sun.
