Chapter 251 - Am I That Unreasonable In Your Eyes?! (2/2)

”I think it was Xia Xiang under Meng Ran's control,” Xia Sha said wryly.

Xia Sha got that long probing gaze from Guan Xian for the first time after she dropped the bomb. Somehow, she senses that Guan Xian's body got tense and careful toward her as he asks, ”Are you sad?”

”My relationship with her is never as good as you and Xiao Ni. I just thought we have become civil recently,” Xia Sha raised her hand to show her strong rebuttal toward Guan Xian's question.

Though her heart feels heavy somehow, Xia Sha did not let emotion stir up her head. Xia Xiang and Meng Ran, those two people were not new trouble in her life.

”I'm glad to hear that you are still cold-hearted,” Guan Xian chuckles. He extends his hand and ruffles Xia Sha's hair in lively manners.

Xia Sha clicked her tongue and saved her hair from Guan Xian. Ignoring Guan Xian's nonsense, she continues her comment about Xia Xiang.

”I don't particularly feel any familial love toward Xia Xiang. I just pitied her luck. It's bad enough that my father implicated her in this hot mess called family, and then she chose to jump into a hell pit along with Meng Ran. I won't be surprised if you say Xia Xiang help Meng Ran harming me.”

Guan Xian was stunned when Xia Sha accidentally sput out the truth behind her cyanide situation.

”It's not her luck, but she just stupid,” Guan Xian told Xia Sha nonchalantly. He's too lazy to waste his breath to talk about Meng Ran and Xia Xiang.

Xia Sha nodded her head as she pondered, ”So anyway, Liem Ke Yong give me that girl business card- one that offers him the 'video' I was thinking maybe you can help me find this person?”

Her request took Guan Xian by surprise. It usually takes some time and trouble before Xia Sha asks for a hand. The fact that she could bring this so casually put him in a pleasant mood.

”Of course, baby. Anything for you,” Guan Xian agreed without throwing fuss, dropping some kisses on Xia Sha's back of the hand.

Efficient is the right word to conclude Xia Sha's day. Liem Ke Yong didn't extort her deal. Instead, he only wants a permanent room at Futuria in exchange for the information. She got the nightclub girl information at the end of the day ten minutes after they arrived at-

”Can you explain why we are in your apartment?” Xia Sha dumbfoundedly asked after Guan Xian pulled her into the familiar lift.

The embarrassing memories flood back into Xia Sha's mind as she passes through the same receptionist in the lobby, forcing her to make a polite smile.

”Well, you need some rest, and my apartment is closer than the Shen residence,” Guan Xian answers absent-mindedly, trying to avoid Xia Sha's doubtful stare as best as he could.

”What a bad excuse,” Xia Sha rolls her eyes, sparing no mind to Guan Xian's scheme as soon as she enters Guan Xian's penthouse.

Everything looks the same as Xia Sha remembers. The spacious room looks marvelous and gives the person inside a warm and homey feeling. Xia Sha took her time to observe her surroundings today- since she didn't have the urge to hide inside a hole like last time.

She could feel Guan Xian's gaze lingering on her back as she walked around.

”You don't seem to worry about being alone with me at my apartment?” Guan Xian teases her with a cheerful tone, turning to the minibar in the living room and pouring himself a glass of wine and water for Xia Sha.

Xia Sha glanced slightly at him before saying, ”There's Aunty Chen, right?” in a calm manner.

”Aunty Chen only stays here until she finishes her job. We are alone here,” Guan Xian retorted. A playful smirk decorated his face as he approached Xia Sha with two glasses of different substances.

”Well, you cannot do anything to a patient,” Xia Sha answered calmly, sitting on the couch with a rigid expression.

”Oh? I thought you had regained your health? Judging from your performance today, I think some careful exercise would improve your condition even better,” Guan Xian said calmly despite his sarcastic remarks.

Xia Sha: ”...”

”You won't drop it down, won't you?” Xia Sha monotonously replied, turning away only when she heard a chuckle from Guan Xian's side.

Guan Xian leaned closer to Xia Sha, enjoying the natural fragrance coming from her body as he put his head on her shoulder, ”A hug might make me forget.”

Xia Sha scoffs coldly, but his warm word has eventually softened her heart. She extended her hand and hugged Guan Xian. While he seems to enjoy her embrace, he suddenly remembers something that he missed today!

”Aiya! We have a meeting with your wedding dress designer today!”

With that, Guan Xian had replaced Xia Sha to be the groomzilla~
