Fancy Me, Professor!

"I'll get straight to the point. You see, Ruo Xi is back… and I don't want Pan An to know that she is back."

When Shu Xian heard that, she couldn't help but feel her heart race in her chest.

She doesn't know why, but upon hearing what Cai Li had said, she started to feel nervous for Pan An, not knowing where this worry is coming from when she doesn't even know who this Ruo Xi is and what her background is!

Furrowing her brows, she then quickly wore her doll shoes at the side and half-tied her hair, quickly and accurately putting on lip tint on her lips as she continued talking to Pan An's mother.

"About her… if it's okay to ask, Ma'am Cai Li," she started, already standing up from the bed and quickly getting her pouch that was on the vanity mirror. "What is this about this woman that is making Pan An so sad, and that is also making you worry this much?"

Shu Xian heard a deep sigh from the other end of the line. With her answer then said, Shu Xian left the room, quickly waving her hand to Pan An and Wan Wan as the call already ended when Cai Li told Shu Xian the answer that she needed.

"It is something that you and I should only know—so please, I'm asking you… don't ever tell Pan An no matter what the cost."

The moment Shu Xian came outside, she already saw Cai Li who was standing outside, leaning on the car with a smile on her face the moment she saw her son's girlfriend.

Rather… acting girlfriend—since she doesn't know…

"Shu Xian," Cai Li greeted her, pulling her in an embrace as Shu Xian smiled at her as well, greeting her and apologizing at the same time.

"Good day, Ma'am Cai Li. I'm sorry you had to wait. I was unprepared, honestly."

"It's alright, dearest," Cai Li said, tucking some tendrils of her wavy hair behind her ear, Shu Xian, looking pretty with this simple get up. "Shall we go?"

"Ehem…"

With both of them suddenly hearing Pan An clearing his throat, both of the ladies turned their body to face him, Pan An, arching a brow at both of them, making a comment.

"Wouldn't even bother saying hello to your son?"

Cai Li playfully rolled her eyes at Pan An, doing a flying kiss instead as she greeted him.

"Hello, my sunshine~! I'm sorry to have come unannounced; I'm just excited to visit my future daughter-in-law so we can have so much to talk about! Eat and drink, too!"

Without bothering to even reply, Pan An faced Shu Xian, his lips curling into a smirk as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, shaking his head in disapproval as he made a comment about her suddenly leaving home.

"You won't even bother giving me a hug or a kiss? Just a wave of your hand?"

"Oh, geez…"

Shu Xian mumbled to herself, already blushing. Cai Li giggled, liking what she is hearing. However, little did she know that both of them are only doing this to keep Cai Li at bay, Shu Xian, already walking towards Pan An.

The moment Shu Xian arrived in front of the man, she glared at him, making sure that Cai Li won't notice a thing as she whispered as soft as she could, only for Pan An to hear.

"You don't have to make this so difficult!"

With Pan An grinning ear to ear, he pulled Shu Xian by the waist, planted a kiss on her forehead, the lady's heart racing in her chest as if it was in a marathon.

"Where's my kiss, Love?" Pan An asked, enough for Cai Li to hear. "Don't tell me you're so shy around mother when you kissed my cheek in front of a lot of people last night at the mall."

"Oooh… Pan An…" Shu Xian complained under gritted teeth. "You are so gonna regret this later."

Not saying another word, Shu Xian tiptoed, planting a kiss on Pan An's cheek as he bent for her to reach his face. With her already giving him a peck on the cheek, Shu Xian immediately left, shyly looking down on her feet as Cai Li let out a small laugh, patting the girl's shoulder.

"Oh, you don't have to be shy around me, Shu Xian! You are in a relationship with my son. So you can do freely what you want in front of me!"

With a wink given by Cai Li, Shu Xian found it awkward, the lady only giving her a small smile as the driver opened the backseat door for both of them to enter.

The moment both of them were already inside, the driver gave Pan An a small bow to say goodbye, the three of them already going away.

As Pan An waved his hand to say goodbye, his smile slowly turned into a frown, already remembering the folder that he acquired from his secretary a while ago before Shu Xian woke up and thought that it was his papers that he is doing early in the morning.

Pan An entered the house again, Wan Wan sleeping in the living room. With him sitting back down on the floor as he scanned the papers, he looked at the names one by one, not caring that this is 30 pages.

The moment the list landed on the R, Pan An carefully skimmed on the paper, and noticing that there is no Ruo Xi in the list and with him confirming it in the security of the mall along with the manager, he thought that maybe it was just his eyes playing tricks on him…

Or maybe, his mother might have done something about it and told the others not to let him know about Ruo Xi's whereabouts, and her suddenly coming here to pick up Shu Xian might have something to do about it.

Whatever it is, Pan An wanted to make sure if his eyes were indeed playing tricks on him, or not.
