Fancy Me, Professor!

Since Pan An had cancelled their dinner, Wang Lei had actually stayed behind to finalize some papers so he won't have a lot of workload tomorrow. He had his hand on his forehead as he scanned the paper that was on his desk, his eyebrows knitted together as he signed, pen already at hand.

'Damn… why are there so many proposals when this can be due next month?'

Soon after, a knock was heard on the door. Knowing that it was Yu Yan who was knocking, he already signaled for her entrance, the secretary coming in with coffee at hand.

"Come in!"

Yu Yan's heels clicked in the quiet room. She elegantly put the coffee down, asking if Wang Lei wanted something before she leaves the room.

"Do you want anything else, Mr. Wang?"

"Yes…"

Wang Lei sighed in relief as he was now finally done reading the last paper of those submitted today, actually emptying his desk for tomorrow! He then slumped on his office chair, his hand wiping his face as he was obviously tired for this evening.

"I'm hungry. I want something to eat."

"Alright," his secretary nodded, already getting her phone to do a reservation in his favorite Chinese restaurant. "I'll call the manager right away and—"

"No, not in my favorite restaurant," Wang Lei interrupted, making Yu Yan look at him quizzically.

"Do you wish to try something new, Mr. Wang?"

"Yes," Wang Lei answered, a smirk tugging the corner of his lips at the same time. "I want to eat in Molto Affamatto, the new Italian restaurant and I want you to dine with me."

"Oh?" Yu Yan immediately declined, giving an apologetic smile as well. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang… but I must decline now."

"Hmm? Why?" Wang Lei frowned, not expecting that his invitation be declined. "Are you busy?"

"Yes. I already promised someone that I have to go home earlier so I could spend more time with him."

"Him?" Wang Lei's eyebrow twitched, "I thought no one was able to melt your icy heart! How can you have someone now?"

"Oh, Mr. Wang… you are mistaken!" Yu Yan said, laughing at the same time. "I said that because I have a perfect explanation as to why!"

Seeing her laugh this way as if he had said something stupid, Wang Lei couldn't help but knit his brows together. He continued to watch Yu Yan giggle, her laughter like music to his ears as he found her voice beautiful and melodious.

"Then, let me understand," he said, already standing up from his chair as he fixed his necktie. "If you want, I can drive you home."

"Oh, you can!?"

With Yu Yan hearing the suggestion of Wang Lei driving her home, he was actually surprised to have seen this happy and excited expression on his secretary's face, a complete different emotion from what she usually shows every time she's at work.

"Oh, thank you. It might seem that I am taking advantage of this suggestion, but I would want to arrive home as much as possible," she said, Wang Lei, now curious as to why she wanted to rush going home.

With Wang Lei remembering what she said a while ago that someone is waiting for her and being told that it's not what he thinks when she said no one can melt her icy heart, now he grew all the more curious as to who the person waiting for her is!

"It's alright," Wang Lei snapped himself from his thoughts, already walking out of his office as his secretary followed. "I'll drop you off to your home."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Yu Yan didn't mask her gratitude, her smile ever so beautiful on her face. "I'll cook for you, too, if you want!"

Actually liking the suggestion, he nodded, both of them already going in the elevator to go down the company's parking lot. Once they have arrived, the driver already bowed at the two, opening the back seat door to make Wang Lei and his secretary enter.

As the driver left the company, Wang Lei had already asked Yu Yan to tell him the address, the driver, nodding as he already knew the location and drove them to Yu Yan's house.

It was a ten-minute quiet ride. The moment they arrived in front of a simple house, Yu Yan immediately left the car, surprising Wang Lei with the urgency. He then instructed the driver to wait for him, Wang Lei already getting off the car then he followed Yu Yan.

"This is my home, Mr. Wang. I'm sorry you have to enter such a shabby house."

"It's alright, Yu Yan," Wang Lei said as he gave her a small smile. "With you preparing for dinner, I would have to experience your cooking, knowing that it's worth the visit."

As if sensing that there are already people outside, the door of the house opened, revealing a little boy at around the age of three, welcoming them.

"Aaah! Mama, mama! Mama, you're home!"

"Oh, my little mooncake Li Jie!"

Wang Lei opened his eyes wide when he saw Yu Yan scoop the little boy in her arms, the child giggling as his cute voice excited Yu Yan, further embracing him tighter.

"Mama came home late? Why, why?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my mooncake! Mama did more work!"

Yu Yan put him down after she planted a kiss on top of his head, her hands on her knees as she looked at Lie Jie lovingly.

"Where is [1]Nǎinai?"

"Shhh!" Lie Jie put his index finger in front of his mouth, indicating for Yu Yan to be quiet. "Nǎinai is sleeping on the couch!"

Yu Yan stood up straight, nodding as she let out a small laugh.

"Alright, then!" Yu Yan whispered, "Mama will be quiet!"

With little Li Jie noticing the man beside his mama, he cocked his head to the side, not knowing what to say as he was told not to talk to strangers.

Almost forgetting that his boss was with her, Yu Yan immediately turned her body to look at his boss, giving him a bow to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang! With suddenly seeing my son, I almost forgot that you're here," she said, Wang Lei, still surprised with the fact that his beautiful secretary is actually with a child, not remembering that fact in her employee's profile!

"It's alright," Mr. Wang said, snapping himself from his thoughts. He then looked at Li Jie then introduced himself with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Li Jie. My name's Wang Lei, your mama's boss."

"Boss?"

Li Jie then looked at his mama as he innocently asked a question, what he said making Yu Yan's face blush as the CEO's lips turned into a tight line, not expecting how Yu Yan described him to her son.

"Mama, he's the handsome [2]guàiwù that you were talking about at work?"
