Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 118 - Sure! Anytime.

"Oh, really?" Wang Fang shook her head. "You're starting to fancy the girl, Pan An."

"What? I—"

"Come on. Be mature on this," Wang Fang interrupted, further typing in her keyboard once more. "With you two always together and with you two acting like a couple, how could you not develop something towards her, even the slightest?"

With Wang Fang saying that, Pan An couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Is she right, though? The only time he started liking a girl and loving her to bits was only with Ruo Xi. After how many years, she is still the woman in his mind.

Could it be that Wang Fang is right and that Shu Xian has the possibility to make his heart swoon?

No… this is only the beginning… he still had to prove this himself. It's only a week since they stayed together. A lot of things can happen and they could debunk this idea in the future.

They don't know what's bound to happen—so they will only have to see it by then.

But with his jealousy and with him feeling uneasy… could it possibly be a developing crush towards the girl?

'No… this can't be,' Pan An thought, shaking his head. 'I have yet to confirm—not in this way. I should not deduce too early. Besides, we're staying and are always together... that's why. Right?'

Wang Fang watched the man in his office shaking his head and his lips mumbling to himself. He looked like a man losing his sanity, her being the therapist that he is talking to.

With a soft chuckle escaping from her mouth, Pan An looked at her, Wang Fang arching a brow at him as she spoke.

"You could not think serious about this, you know," she said, smiling at the same time. "It's too early. You guys are still getting to know each other—a week has passed."

With that said, she got her glass of water from the desk and drank it, further talking to Professor Pan An.

"Anyway, we should schedule a dinner with the girl. She should know our plan in advance. If we let her know late, she will be surprised," she added, Pan An, nodding in agreement.

"Thank you, Wang Fang. When do you want to have the dinner?"

"Maybe tomorrow or tonight? I want it in the new restaurant, Molto Affamato! By the way, the house will be prepared in a week. So she will still have to stay with you by then."

With that said, Pan An didn't know why, but a smile crept his face, making Wang Fang roll her eyes at him.

"I guess that smile is saying: 'Yes! I can still stay with her a bit longer than I thought!'"

"Wang Fang…" Pan An furrowed his brows, "You're really enjoying teasing me, huh?"

"Sorry," Wang Fang apologized along with a chuckle, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "Maybe you'd also be happy to know that the house that she will be staying in would be found across your house—that empty house before your gate."

When Pan An said this, she pointed at Wang Fang as if accusing her of something, his mouth and eyes opened wide.

"You… that's your house!?"

"Well, my mother's before she remarried. We lived there before and for some reason, my mother didn't want to let it go despite the sad memories. Anyway…"

With that coming out in a sort of a rush, Pan An sensed that it is something sensitive to ask, so he didn't dare push on further even though he was curious about it.

"So, Shu Xian will live there. I will tell her that it's a house that needs someone to watch over since it's not even visited for a while. I will ask someone to clean for her before she stays there so she won't have any problems hindering her studies."

As Wang Fang continued talking, Pan An couldn't help but think that there may be a secret behind Wang Fang. With how she is talking, she speaks as if she knows a lot of people who could do work for her…

Making her sound like a daughter from a known, rich family.

"Also, if you guys are seen there talking together or whatever, it's alright—better than you two seen living together. Because if they saw where Shu Xian lives, they will just say: 'Oh, they're neighbors,' or something like that."

As Pan An was nodding his head while he listened, he couldn't help but prop a hand under his chin, his eyes not leaving Wang Fang as he is now further curious about her going on and on about her plans.

"Shu Xian will not have a problem with her dog, either! She will be able to walk and then leave her in the garden if she wants. I'll have gardeners to fix the place, too, since it has been neglected very long."

"What about our plans of doing monthly groceries?"

"Oh, that is beyond me already. It will be weird if I provide for her. Since both of you do groceries monthly like you said, you can still share and she will still make the food for you since you're bringing lunch boxes, right?"

"Uhuh… and the bills?"

"Oh, Shu Xian wouldn't have to worry about that. I can tell her that her staying there is already enough payment for the bills and all—I'll take care of it."

"Mhm…"

With Pan An nodding his head interestingly, Wang Fang froze in her seat, realizing that she talked way more than she should.

With her slowly turning her head towards Pan An, he had a grin on his face, the professor narrowing his eyes at her and made a comment.

"You seem so able and rich, Wang Fang. From which affluent family are you from? Hmm?"

Wang Fang didn't like to talk about her family. With her rambling on and on about her plans as if she has people on her beck and call, she gulped slightly, smiling at Pan An as she feigned ignorance.

"What do you mean? I'm just a woman who's saving well and have connections. There is no meaning behind the words I'm saying. I'm a helpful person—like you."

With that said, Pan An just nodded his head slowly, his curiosity about her still lingering at the back of his mind.

"Alright, if you say so," he just said, Wang Fang, continuing to type as she feigned ignorance still.

"I'll text you up—maybe we have the dinner later," she added, Pan An, already looking at the time on his wrist watch, seeing that he has 10 minutes before his next class.

"Alright. I'll be going then, Wang Fang. Thank you so much for the talk."

"Sure! Anytime."
