When Pan An was assured that her mother's safety in the penthouse is secured, he already left with Shu Xian still playfully swinging her feet as she was being carried towards the car.
"Loooooove!"
Shu Xian slurred on her words as she rested her head on Pan An's shoulder, the girl's index finger circling on his chest and played the cloth of his shirt, making it ticklish for the professor.
"Do you promise me that we are going to play wrestling on bed?"
Pan An's eyebrow twitched. With him walking down the stairs with the others watching them, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed with how loud Shu Xian's voice is, some of the people of the hotel looking at them.
"If you're not quiet," Pan An started, "we won't be able to play wrestling in bed," he added, making Shu Xian nod and whisper back.
"Alright, Love! I'll keep my lips sealed until we're in the car!"
He felt that his vein was bulging! With him feeling that it's about to pop soon, He quickened his pace towards his car, the valet noticing them and opened the door of the passenger seat for Pan An to put Shu Xian inside.
When she was settled, Shu Xian furrowed her brows when she saw that she was still barefoot. The moment Pan An had already buckled her in her seatbelt, she raised both of her legs up so she could rest her foot on the seat's leather, the dress' cloth rising up, showing her skin.
"Shu Xian! What are you doing!?"
Pan An scolded her in a harsh whisper, making Shu Xian pout as she felt that she was being scolded.
"I don't like my feet touching the cold floor… your car is not carpeted…"
Without saying a word as he wanted to make sure that no one is looking at Shu Xian this way, he immediately closed the door, quickly getting his keys from the valet then entered the driver seat, banging the door close.
The sound slightly made Shu Xian jump on her seat. With Pan An clicking a button that would roll their windows up, he put his seatbelt on, having a slightly angry expression on his face.
Seeing this, Shu Xian couldn't help but look at him with tears pooling in her eyes. With her lips trembling to speak as her eyebrows knitted together, her soft voice in a whisper got the professor's attention, what she said next and how she looked like right now, taking him aback.
"Are you angry at Shu Xian?" she started addressing to herself in third person. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to anger my love."
With that said, Pan An couldn't help but blink his eyes a few times, wondering how much alcohol both her and her mother drank!
"How much did you drink with mother?"
"Ma and I drank one and a half bottles of champagne~!"
When she answered in a sing-song tone, Pan An couldn't help but sigh as he ran his hand through his hair, shaking his head in disapproval afterward.
"Apparently, that's your limit. Anything more, you wouldn't take it," he said, Shu Xian, cocking her head to the side as she looked at Pan An.
"Shu Xian is tipsy. Shu Xian is not getting this right now. Can you reschedule your scolding until tomorrow? Shu Xian promises to listen to you like a good girl by then!"
With that said, Pan An just ignored her. With the car now roaring to life, Shu Xian cheered on her seat, excited even though it's just a drive home.
"Yeah! My Pan An is going to drive us home! Yeah, yeah! He loves this flashy car! Yeah, yeah!"
Hearing this, Pan An had to admit that this now made him laugh. With him letting out a small chuckle, Shu Xian looked at her with a loving smile, what she said next slightly surprising him as it made his heart race in his chest.
"You're handsome, Pan An."
Pan An blinked his eyes at her for a few times. With him playfully rolling his eyes at her, he replied to what the drunk lady had said.
"You're just saying that because you're drunk. Thank you, though."
However, what Shu Xian did next was something that the professor didn't expect. She removed her seatbelt, leaned in closer to him, cupped his face with both of her hands, then initiated a kiss as her lips landed clumsily on him.
Shu Xian had her eyes closed. However, Pan An's, was opened wide, obviously dumbfounded by the girl's gesture.
With Shu Xian now breaking away from the kiss as her thumb caressed Pan An's cheek, she then smiled, her breath fanning over Pan An's lips as he slightly tasted the sweet champagne on her lips that had crashed unto his.
"I'm not saying that you're handsome before because I'm shy. But because of alcohol's effect giving me courage, I could say that you are indeed handsome, and that you have the potential to sweep any woman off her feet!"
"Oh?"
Pan An shook himself from his thoughts. With him now softly pushing Shu Xian back to her seat as he buckled her seatbelt for her again, he let out a chuckle, not expecting Shu Xian to be this cheeky once she is under the influence of alcohol.
"And that any woman off her feet… do you mean I could sweep you off your feet, too?"
"Hmm…"
Shu Xian contemplated for a while. With Pan An not giving any meaning to anything that she is saying and what she has done because she is drunk, he then started driving.
When the car started moving, Shu Xian then spoke, what she said making Pan An's heart race in his chest since he also felt honesty in her words even though she's drunk.
"If I'm not careful, yeah… maybe I will fall for you. I have to put my guard up."
Pan An couldn't help but laugh. With him shaking his head as he continued driving, Shu Xian then clicked his phone open to play some music, the girl already singing aloud in his car.
