Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 238 - Is This A Punishment?

"To be honest, I do like it… I just don't want to develop more feelings towards you as I realized that I am suddenly forming one for you now."

"Other than you being the CEO of the company where I work at that makes you my boss, being in a relationship where we're together could be seen as something inappropriate."

"I have a son. I cannot develop feelings towards you so let this be our last sudden interaction. Let's act as if the kiss never happened."

"There is no need with the silence you displayed, Mr. Wang Lei. I am sure that you couldn't answer because you were thinking of the women you'd like to get involved with in the future."

"You know what I mean. You're active when it comes to gallivanting and interacting with women. I am no different and I know that you just had the urge to do it that's why you did it."

Wang Lei couldn't believe those statements that came out of Yu Yan's mouth! He always knew that she is always blunt even in the view of work as she states her opinions and thoughts about a concept. 

However, he didn't know that Yu Yan could be this honest when it comes to life conversations as well!

With him walking out as he didn't expect saying something so suggestive to Yu Yan such as proving himself to her that they could have something more if they plan on having a relationship with each other, he decided that he would visit Pan An so he could vent to him. 

He started groaning as he realized that he had left his other home without getting his car. With him hailing for a cab, one instantly came, making him enter the vehicle then telling the driver to drop him to the address where Pan An lives. 

Wang Lei slumped on his seat as he got his phone from his pocket and browsed his social media account. The moment he scrolled down, he saw Yu Yan's post in Weibo a few hours ago before they went home from the park. 

It was a picture of her and Li Jie, smiling at the camera while Yu Yan's mother was behind them, serving food. The caption of the photo was: great, family day.

It was a nice family picture. It was then that Wang Lei realized that only now did he follow Yu Yan in her social media accounts. 

If he had followed her ever since, then he would possibly know more about her especially Li Jie since she is not hiding him from anyone at all!

He suddenly thought if she had ever had any suitors. If her showing her child in social media and with them backing out because of that fact, Wang Lei found himself angry if ever they thought that Yu Yan is not worth to pursue just because she has a child. 

Well, speaking of this in perspective, Wang Lei thought that he'd maybe do the same if ever he didn't know much about Yu Yan and about Li Jie and their background. 

However, now that he knew more about her, he found himself getting interested more when it comes to her. And other than that, the existence of Li Jie never bothered him. 

Even though that he had a wretched man as his father, Wang Lei never thought that Li Jie would be like him—ever—with how Yu Yan raising him well. 

Especially his manners and his upbringing! He had never been so fond of children but when it came to Yu Yan's son, he never found the little boy obnoxious and decided to get to know the child more instead!

With the cab already stopping in front of the house of Pan An, Wang Lei snapped out of his thoughts then paid the driver. He then started opening the gate with his spare key.

Wang Lei was given a spare key to his gate and main door since he is always welcomed there at Pan An's home. 

The CEO let out a soft sigh as he started walking inside. With Wan Wan in the garden and just greeting him with a nudge at his hand, she never bothered to bark, not indicating his presence to both of her masters. 

Wang Lei never even bothered sending a message that he will come to pay them a visit. With him already unlocking the door, he opened the door wide, about to greet the two. 

"Hey, Pan An, Shu Xian," he said, already stepping inside the house with Wan Wan following him. As he closed the door, he further walked in. "I'm sorry to come in unannounced, but—"

However, he never got the chance to finish his sentence because the moment he came in, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and Wang Lei's jaw dropped to the ground with what the scene was before him. 

Shu Xian was seen straddling Pan An, her hair disheveled as Pan An's hand combed through her hair. With his hand in place and with his other hand on her waist, Shu Xian gasped when she realized that she was no longer alone with the professor. 

"Wh-wh—what…" 

Wang Lei was incoherent, pointing at them accusingly as if they had done something wrong. 

"What the hell are you two doing!?"

"I could ask you!"

Pan An retorted, annoyance evident on his face as he settled Shu Xian on the couch, the girl obviously embarrassed as they were seen in such an awkward position. 

"What the hell are you doing here in my house unannounced!?"

Wang Lei scoffed as if his best friend had said something unbelievable. 

"You gave me a spare key!"

"I know I gave you a spare key!" Pan An put his hands on his waist, completely exasperated. "But that doesn't mean that you can go here unannounced!"

Wang Lei rolled his eyes at him as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. 

"Why are you doing something so inappropriate?"

"Oh, you're one to talk," Pan An complained, arching a brow at him. "You were the one doing something inappropriate—barging in my home! Of course, you'd see what we're doing! This is my house!"

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes at him. With Shu Xian excusing herself as she now took this chance to go to her room to fix herself, her ruffled clothes and her disheveled hair, Wang Lei talked to his best friend again, still having the audacity to complain. 

"Well, alright, congratulations for no longer being single. It was a shocker to me, you have never told me even!"

"Do I have to?" Pan An scoffed. "It was sudden and we were having this time to ourselves before she'll move out from my home and live across mine!"

"Oh, Pan An..."

Wang Lei chuckled, the atmosphere between them already easing up as he joked about what he said.

"As if living in different places could hinder you guys from doing stuff that you'd want to do together. She'll be living across you! Besides… take it as a place where you can do it other than…"

"Oh, shut up."

Pan An and Wang Lei now laughed out loud. With the professor shaking his head as his smile stayed on his face, he looked at his best friend, wondering why he's here. 

"What could be bothering you so much that you came here to disturb my sweet time with Shu Xian?"

Pan An then now sat back down on his couch, Wang Lei, sitting across him by sitting on the single couch behind him. 

"It's about Yu Yan."

"Oh?" Pan An arched a brow at him. "The secretary again? Why? You kissed her? Is that it?"

Pan An said it as a joke. However, when he saw Wang Lei nod to answer his question, Pan An widened his eyes in surprise, not expecting it to be a true case. 

"Woah, really?"

"Really," Wang Lei replied, slumping on the couch where he sat. "I can't believe it either. It was a different kiss compared to all of the kisses I have ever experienced."

Pan An nodded at him slowly, still in disbelief that his best friend, a womanizer at that, had kissed his secretary and had felt something different compared to all of the kisses he had experienced with different kinds of women. 

"And? Is that all?"

"No."

Wang Lei ran his hand through his hair, letting out a deep sigh as he stared straight into his best friend's eyes. 

"I want to talk to you about this in private. Can I borrow you from Shu Xian and ask you for a drink outside? Please?"

Pan An chuckled, shrugging his shoulders as Wang Lei's next comment made him laugh out loud as it was a surprise other than it being funny. 

"My sister is no longer single, my best friend is no longer single… is this a punishment for me because I've been fooling around for quite a long time—a sign that I, too, should not be single for too long and start acting serious?"
