Fancy Me, Professor!

"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 guàiwù that you were talking about at work?"

Yu Yan still couldn't believe that her little mooncake had to sell her out to her boss like that even though it was innocently done!

She felt like a boulder was pushed onto her, Yu Yan now turning her body as best as she could just to face Wang Lei as she let out a nervous chuckle, apologizing to him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. My son is mistaking you for someone else," she said, Li Jie, cocking his head to the side as he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"But, mama… you showed me a picture of handsome guàiwù before and told me that he's making you tired and that he's the one keeping you from home so he can fatten our wallets for us to live."

Yu Yan felt her soul leave her body!

With her body suddenly stiffening like it was an iceberg, Wang Lei couldn't help but have a flabbergasted expression on his face, blinking his eyes a few times at the little boy who was talking in front of them.

"Your mother said that, Li Jie?"

"Yes!"

Li Jie put his little hand on his chest and proudly nodded, pride swelling from him as he told him what his mother had taught him.

"Li Jie never lies! Mama told me not to lie! What I'm saying is true, handsome guàiwù!"

'Oh, little mooncake!'

Yu Yan attempted to talk to him with her mind as she looked at him desperately.

'You are so cute, but why do you have to be this good at such a wrong time!?'

But Yu Yan knew that there is nothing she can do about it. Sighing, she just turned her body to look at her boss once more, a shy, apologetic smile, forcefully tugging the corners of her lips as she spoke to Wang Lei.

"I apologize for what you've heard, Mr. Wang," she started, giving him a small bow as well as Li Jie watched them. "I cannot deny it further—my son is indeed honest and if what you've heard is something that you didn't like, then I am prepared to receive punishment."

Wang Lei didn't say anything for a while. With his eyes now slowly shifting back to Li Jie, he gave him a smile as he bent down, patting his head as he talked to him instead.

"Li Jie," Wang Lei said his name, his smile not leaving his face. "Good boy for being honest. Now, if you can, is it alright to borrow your mama for a while? I need to talk to her and your NaiNai needs some company, no? Be a brave boy and watch over NaiNai, yes?"

With that said, Li Jie grinned, nodding as he let out a cute giggle that was also cute enough for Wang Lei to acknowledge even though he didn't like kids.

He saw them as an abomination! He knew that he was a kid before as well, but never did it cross his mind to have one. If there are quiet kids, then there are certainly naughty kids like he was when he was younger.

With that thought, he didn't want to have one even though his parents were adamant about it.

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Li Jie suddenly spoke, giving Wang Lei a thumbs-up as well.

"Li Jie will listen to handsome guàiwù! I will guard NaiNai and wait for mama to come inside like a brave boy!"

As Yu Yan was about to get him so she won't be left alone with the "handsome guàiwù," Li Jie had successfully ran away, closing the door behind him as well.

'Oh, no… there goes my little mooncake. After he sold me out, he left me alone!'

Surprising her, Wang Lei made a [1]kabe-don (rather, a [2]doa-don), making Yu Yan look at him straight in the eyes as Wang Lei made sure to himself that Yu Yan won't escape from him as his hand was on the door that was right behind her.

"Handsome guàiwù?" Wang Lei asked, Yu Yan, letting out a nervous chuckle.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. It was something that I said to my son when I came home a bit drunk. I told him why I was suddenly tired and then said the nickname—and it got stuck on the little boy."

Wang Lei arched a brow at his secretary, "You came home drunk? Aren't you worried that your son is going to—"

"I know, you don't have to scold me," she interrupted, not liking to be questioned on the way she raises her child. "I never did it again since then."

With Wang Lei's breath fanning over Yu Yan's slightly parted lips, both of them suddenly went quiet, staring straight into each other's eyes.

With Wang Lei's heart racing in his chest as they were closer like this at this time of night even, he started to feel warm, not liking the feeling already.

'Why?'

Soon after, Wang Lei removed his hand from the door, making Yu Yan sigh in relief as she was no longer trapped.

"Dinner would have to wait for next time, Yu Yan," Wang Lei said, his secretary, blinking her eyes in surprise.

"Are you sure? I—"

"Your son has already said it—I've been keeping you from him for a long time already," he interrupted, Yu Yan, feeling guilty now that he heard what she has been venting to the little boy.

"I'm sorry. I—"

Before Yu Yan was able to finish her sentence, Wang Lei cleared his throat, already fixing his composure as he stared straight into her eyes.

"See you at work tomorrow, Yu Yan. We will be talking about your new schedule once we start with work hours."

"What?!"

Yu Yan then suddenly felt nervous, not liking the tone of his voice.

"Is this about what you heard? I'm sorry—I'm willing to take any punishment, but if you're talking about firing me, then—"

"I'm not going to fire you, Yu Yan!"

Wang Lei interrupted, letting out a chuckle at the same time. What he did next was something that surprised Yu Yan. He kissed the back of her hand, making her heart race with the simple gesture that he did, opposed by the words that came out of his mouth.

This in turn, made her feel flustered as well…

"We'll just talk about your new working schedule. You're continuing to work for me, and I will continue to fatten your wallets, alright?"

With Wang Lei giving him a wink, Yu Yan stood still, her body stiffening in shock. Before Yu Yan could even retort, Wang Lei already turned his body to walk away, now understanding what was meant behind her words.

Yu Yan has Li Jie—and flirting with someone or having someone to love is out of her vocabulary.
