Chapter 252 - Groomzilla (1/2)
Under Guan Xian's ridiculously gigantic television, there lay several pieces of paper in varieties of size. Xia Sha initially thought it was work-related, but when the queer drawing caught her attention, she realized- it was Guan Xian's sketches of their wedding reception.
After being pushed away by the shocked Guan Xian, Xia Sha absent-mindedly take the A3 paper. She titled her head, rotating the masterpiece up and down before she inquired, ”What is the right way to look at this? Can you walk me through?”
Guan Xian, who finished his call with the wedding planner look dejected before he lay the paper on the coffee table. Facing Xia Sha's 'I-won't-laugh-I-promise' face, he scoffed, ”Don't look at this. It's all rubbish.”
”No way! I could see something interesting there that I might like. Come on, enlighten me!” Xia Sha begged. She tried to persuade Guan Xian with her puppy eyes and gentle rubs on his arm.
Softened, Guan Xian cleared his throat before he tried to share his vision with Xia Sha. Pointing on a broad half-circle line across the paper, he explains, ”This is a giant glass igloo.”
”A giant igloo? Could it fit two thousand guests?” Xia Sha subconsciously asks, turning to Guan Xian with twinkled eyes.
”Honey, I don't know that you want to invite two thousand friends for our intimate wedding? Well, it's not a big deal. Just build a bigger igloo then,” Guan Xian murmured playfully.
”Hah, two thousand friends? Yeah, More like two friends. Isn't it for our parent's guests? We compromised on that number, remember?”
”I thought you lost some of your memories. Look like our wedding is important to you, after all.”
”...” Can you not be so wussy and answer my curiosity already?!
”It's not their wedding. Why should we listen?” Guan Xian wrinkled his nose and averted his eyes from Xia Sha.
Xia Sha gasped loudly. Her finger pointed at Guan Xian in disbelief look.
”Baby! Baby, listen to me!” Guan Xian tried to salvage himself.
Her body moved outwardly. With jaw almost dropped to the ground as she said in a restrained shout, ”You did not just do that! Tell me you did not change all my arrangements.”
”Well-”
”I cannot believe you,” Xia Sha murmured as she shook her head.
”How could I do that? Of course, I did not!”
”Oh yeah? So you will fly two thousand people to the north pole? Huh?” Xia Sha inquired with a raised eyebrow. Her head tilted in a way that makes Guan Xian feel she is declaring war.
While the atmosphere between them started to feel tense, Guan Xian's phone rang and broke the silence between them. Glancing at the screen display, Guan Xian decided to accept the call and turn on his television at the same time.
”Wait a minute, I got my bride here as well,” he mumbles as he set up something on the television menu.
Xia Sha tried to relax her body while picking up hints here and there, trying to figure out what's Guan Xian is doing. However, before she comes out with something, Xia Sha has seen the reflection of herself on the big screen.
”Good evening Mr. Guan and Miss Xia Sha. I'm Danny, your pointed wedding decorator for your big day. Mr.Guan had several ideas before, and I'm here to present several of the realistic sketches that we've made.”
An instant frown appeared on Xia Sha's face, and it grew colder through Danny's presentation. Danny feels something wrong with his presentation start to form sweat in his back.
His hand is sweating as he moves the pointers to the next slide, where a sketch up of north pole-themed wedding Guan Xian's has personally ask interacted through the screen. Danny doesn't understand how his drawing had offended Xia Sha, but he could not hold himself back when Xia Sha shot a glare at Guan Xian.
”Ms.Xia, is there's something not to your liking? I- We- could work on it,” Danny asked too politely that Xia Sha felt uneasy at him.
”Wait a moment. I need to talk privately to my wife,” Guan Xian notified Danny before he cut off the teleconference.
As Danny disappears in a blitz, Xia Sha automatically looks at Guan Xian with an upset face, ”You! I won't walk on that aisle if you don't give me a good explanation.”
