Sooner or later, Pan An and Shu Xian were called by their private waiter to inform them that their dinner is ready. With Shu Xian already composing herself, she walked alongside the professor, both of them excited as to what they are going to eat.

The moment they arrived on their seats, the waiter gestured the table, a big smile on his face as he revealed to them what they are going to have for dinner.

"You will be having a medium rare Wagyu beef served for tonight, Mr. Pan An, Miss Shu Xian. Also, one of the restaurant's most expensive wine is to be given, and afterward, the most in-demand dessert will be served, chocolate soufflé, with vanilla ice cream placed on top."

"Oooh~!"

Shu Xian now looked at the waiter with a wide grin on her face, surprising him with how beautiful she is without even having the need to have makeup on.

"Thank you so much for serving us food! I'm excited to try your restaurant's cuisine!"

"Y-yes…" the waiter stammered, clearing his throat at the same time as he was taken aback by Shu Xian's kindness and beauty. "P-please enjoy, Miss."

With Pan An now looking at the waiter who was serving them, he arched a brow at him and gave him a warning smile, what he said making Shu Xian blush along with the shocked reaction of the waiter before them.

"I know that my girl is beautiful. But if you could please leave us in peace to enjoy our food, I'd really appreciate it as I want my Shu Xian to be mine alone tonight."

'My girl! My Shu Xian!' The young lady thought as she shyly looked at her steak, a blush already creeping her face. 'He just called me his girl and his Shu Xian!'

"Y-yes!" The waiter immediately bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry. I shall take my leave, then."

With that, the waiter already left, Pan An, letting out a chuckle as he was now assured that both of them are alone on their table tonight.

"Shu Xian?" he called out, grinning ear to ear. "Are we not going to eat?"

"Oh! Y-yes…" Shu Xian stammered, already getting her knife and fork. "I'll eat now."

Before Shu Xian could even put her fork and knife on her beef, however, Pan An smoothly got her plate and started slicing for her, Shu Xian, biting her bottom lip as she admired the professor before him.

She wondered how a handsome professor could be single until now if he is this smooth in taking care of his girl even though this is just an act. It made her think whatever could be the reason why that he was unable to look for another girl.

Does he really love Ruo Xi that much?

With Pan An suddenly meeting Shu Xian's eyes, he furrowed his brows slightly as he continued slicing her beef, asking her a question at the same time.

"What's wrong? Is this acting too much for you?" he asked, snapping Shu Xian out of her thoughts as she blinked her eyes a few times, now answering his queries.

"Oh! To be honest, kinda," she mumbled, feeling shy as Pan An now gave her her platter of steak.

"It's only basic for a man to treat his woman this lovingly," he replied, letting out a small chuckle as he now sliced his own Wagyu Beef. "Don't tell me that you haven't experienced liking someone, falling in love, or dating anyone?"

With this question thrown at her, Shu Xian felt slightly pressured. With her now stabbing her fork in one of the sliced beef, she put it in her mouth and chewed, answering the professor's question after she took a sip of her champagne.

"What if I told you that I never experienced any of them even though someone has courted me back in high school—boys visiting the all-girls school I attended? Would you believe me?"

Pan An arched a brow at her, actually not believing what she said.

"Wait… so you honestly haven't experienced dating anyone, or even liking anyone?"

Shu Xian shrugged, taking another bite of her sliced Wagyu beef.

"Yeah… never. With how I was at home and with how desperate I am with getting good grades in my classes, how could I? Dating is not in my vocabulary—and no one has gotten my fancy."

Hearing this, Pan An couldn't help but scoff. With this gesture, Shu Xian furrowed her brows, not understanding why Pan An was acting this way.

"Wh-what?" she asked, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No," Pan An said, laughing once more. "But you're so pretty—you can have a man wrapped around your finger!"

Shu Xian blushed, not expecting a compliment like that coming from the professor.

"Umm… can I be honest?" she asked, the professor nodding. "This conversation is making it awkward for me."

As Shu Xian continued to eat, Pan An couldn't help but let out another laugh, putting down his knife and fork for a while as he made a comment that made Shu Xian widen her eyes.

"This is going to be a trouble, then. For a woman who hasn't fallen in love yet, usually in dramas when they act as a couple, the woman falls in love with the man he's having shenanigans with."

"Wha—"

Shu Xian immediately blushed, her eyes opened wide as she looked at Pan An.

"Are you saying that I have a high possibility of falling in love with you?"

Pan An grinned, taking a sip of his champagne and nodded, answering Shu Xian's question rather proudly.

"Yes. How could you not? A mysterious professor who is born from an affluent family and rescued you from the beginning? How could you have a difficulty on falling in love with me? I'm so nice!"

Shu Xian balled a tissue and threw it at him, not believing what she has heard.

"You're so shameless, Pan An! You know, I would, if you're not this smug!"

With that comment made, both of them laughed as they continued eating dinner, already appreciating each other's company as they continued having their conversation while they were eating their delicious dinner.
