Chapter 19 - Ask Shi Lian



Shu Xian didn\'t know what to do. She knew that she just started staying in Pan An\'s home so she decided to not pry into his personal life. She silently walked to her room, getting the dog food she stashed in her travelling bag.

Wan Wan sat as she eyed her master, cocking her head to the side as she wondered when Shu Xian will feed her because the young lady stopped moving for a while the moment she got the ziplocked dog food from her bag.

\'Would it be insensitive of me to ignore Pan An when I noticed he was feeling that way?\'

Shu Xian shook her head, her eyebrows furrowing as she disagreed with herself.

\'Won\'t he think that I was watching him secretly if I asked him if he was alright?\'

Shu Xian then turned her body, facing her door as Wan Wan continued looking at her master whose mind was still wandering elsewhere.

\'Would he think that I\'m being selfish—thinking of only myself If I ignore him and only talk to him when needed?\'

With her thoughts bouncing in her mind, it made Shu Xian worry as she thought what Pan An might\'ve think of her.

She started feeling uneasy, her overthinking self taking a toll over her body as her grip tightened on the ziplocked dog food she has for Wan Wan.

\'Aaaah! What if he thinks less of me know—thinking I am desperate?\'

Shu Xian\'s free hand then ran through her hair. When Wan Wan grew impatient as she felt how hungrier she was becoming with each passing second, the dog barked at her master, snapping the young lady out of her thoughts as she stared at her dog.

"Oh…" Shu Xian blinked her eyes a few times, "I\'m sorry, Wan Wan. I forgot that I should start feeding you."

Remembering that she has her responsibility as a pet owner, Shu Xian removed her heels as she walked barefooted towards the kitchen, Wan Wan following behind her.

She did not even bother changing into her comfortable clothes, deciding to feed Wan Wan as her eyes landed on the sink.

Shu Xian then remembered that she wasn\'t able to clean up earlier. With her seeing the dishes that she left on the sink, Shu Xian got a disposable Tupperware, putting the dog food inside before serving it to Wan Wan.

The moment Shu Xian served Wan Wan her food, she tied her hair into a messy bun with a hairtie that was around her wrist moments ago. She then started washing the dishes as she waited for Wan Wan to finish her food.

It was a quiet evening—Shu Xian could even hear her dog chewing on her own food. She also heard the water going down the sink, the young lady\'s mind wandering off again as she remembered what had happened today.

\'Today is my first day here in Pan An\'s place, and a lot has happened already—I can\'t keep up!\'

Shu Xian\'s eyebrows started to furrow as she remembered what had happened yesterday.

She was kicked out of her apartment, the landlady giving her money as her sympathy for not having a place to stay despite her working hard only for herself.

She then went to the park to rest, until she was almost assaulted by men. Soon after, Pan An arrived to rescue her, Shu Xian thankful that she came because if he wasn\'t around, who knows what might\'ve happened to her—to Wan Wan, too.

Shu Xian\'s hands tightened on the plate she was washing. She stared at the plate blankly as she remembered Pan An, not expecting the personality he has.

When she met him earlier in the morning, he was nice. Until she met him as her professor in one of her education classes, Shu Xian dumbfounded to know that he\'s aloof and at the same time, popular at the workplace.

With him being popular in the university, why does it seem that people don\'t know much about him—Pan An being the son who owns Invicta Corporation?

Well, their family is indeed powerful enough—they may have done something on their end, blocking any personal information about them.

Shu Xian heaved a sigh as she continued washing, Wan Wan still continuing to eat the dog food that was served to her.

The young lady\'s mind then wandered off to the dinner she had with his mother, her cheeks turning red as she remembered an event that happened earlier, making her heart race.

She remembered how Pan An grabbed her by the waist, his lips smoothly landing on hers, claiming her first kiss.

"Aaah, jeez!"

Shu Xian felt steam coming out of her head, the girl roughly washing the plate she was holding repeatedly even though it was already squeaky clean. She then rinsed every utensil she washed, Shu Xian, sighing as she put them in the drainer for them to dry.

At the same time, Wan Wan finished eating her food. Wanting to shake herself from her own thoughts, she walked towards the front door, opening it to make Wan Wan go to the front yard to do her business.

Shu Xian crossed her arms in front of her chest as she leaned on the doorframe, waiting for Wan Wan\'s potty session to end. Her eyebrows then furrowed as she thought of Pan An\'s background, Shu Xian getting curious about him by the second.

She was surprised when she knew that Pan An is the son of the owner of the Invicta Corporation. She was more surprised with the secrets he held—what his mother could have meant, and what could Pan An be saying when they had a conversation in his car.

Shu Xian could not help but heave a lot of sighs tonight as her mind continued to connect the pieces that she knows. However, no matter how much she tried, the picture still wasn\'t clear, making her think if staying with Pan An is a good idea.

Shu Xian was about to stop thinking when a sudden thought passed in her mind. Her eyes widened when she remembered her best friend Shi Lian, remembering that they promised to talk to each other once she comes home.

With her remembering as well that Shi Lian\'s family is involved with Pan An\'s, her eyes glistened in excitement, clapping her hands once at the same time.

\'That\'s it! I\'ll ask Shu Xian what she knows about Pan An!\'
