Chapter 228 - Had Finally Opened Up



Shu Xian fell quickly asleep in Pan An's arms after they talked for a while about anything under the sun. Pan An watcher her sleep as he ran his hand through her hair and combed it for her comfort. 

Pan An couldn't believe it that he is capable to start loving another person after offering almost everything of what he has especially his time to someone like Ruo Xi. 

​​

With that in thought, he stared blankly at her as he remembered what his mother wanted to tell him. 

Cai Li always wanted to tell Pan An that Ruo Xi was betraying him and that she was doing something behind his back and is trying to use him. 

Why only now that did Shu Xian come and when Ruo Xi came back to the country did he start believing her?

With him wanting to have more answers now, he decided to call her mother even at this time of night and talk to her. 

Besides, he knew his mother pretty well. She sleeps late. With his sister here, obviously, they would have their usual girl talks that end very late at night. 

Pan An slightly pushed Shu Xian away from his arm, then settling her gently on her pillow. With a small sigh coming from her, she continued to sleep, Pan An planting a soft kiss on top of her head as he then stood up slowly and then got his phone from his bedside table. 

He then proceeded to dial his mother and went to the farthest part of the room, near the window overlooking the skyscrapers outside. 

The phone call then connected after the third ring. The moment Pan An greeted her, his mother greeted him back joyfully. 

"Hello, mother."

"Pan An! It's rare that you call your mother! What's up? Is something wrong?"

A small smile appeared on Pan An's face. 

With him remembering that his mother wanted him to find someone so that he could forget his woes, he also remembered that she is also fond of Shu Xian so she wanted to tell her the good news first before he tells her the other information that he wanted to know. 

"I'm with Shu Xian."

"I know, dear." It's as if Pan An could sense his mother rolling her eyes at him. "You two live together. What is it that you want to point out? Is she sad or something? She did not like the birthday celebration?"

"No, not that. She absolutely loved her birthday celebration," Pan An answered, letting out a small sigh as he felt a bit impatient with how his mother is taking things before even listening to him. 

"Then what is it? If you're calling me this late at night when I should be talking to your sister, then something important must have come up."

"I don't know if this is important," Pan An started, another smile appearing on his face. "But Shu Xian and I have started dating now."

"What!?"

Pan An could also hear his sister's exclamation. With him playfully rolling his eyes at them, he knew that their mother had put her phone on loud speaker so both of them could hear. 

"How did that even happen?"

Now it was his sister that talked. With Pan An still looking out the window and staring at the skyscrapers, both of them went silent when they heard what he had said. 

"Ruo Xi came back. And she is now a professor in the university that I'm working in."

"What?" Cai Li's voice sounded snappy. "Now you know that Ruo Xi is here and you only told me this now?"

"Oh, come on, mother," Pan An said, running his free hand through his hair. "I know that you know that she is here, but you decided to keep that information from me."

The call suddenly went silent. With a sigh heard from the other end of the line, it was his sister now that spoke in defense of their mother. 

"You know mother only wanted what's best for you. If you knew that Ruo Xi is here, you would've—"

"Well, I called because that is nothing that you should worry about. I did tell you that I'm dating Shu Xian now, haven't I?"

It was quiet again. Pan An had a point, but to the two women, both of them thought that it was so sudden that they couldn't quite absorb what had happened between them. 

How can they suddenly have a relationship?

"I hope you're not using Shu Xian to forget that woman," Cai Li said, "You know, Shu Xian is a nice woman and I—"

"Mother, you're offending me right now with what you're saying."

Pan An interrupted, trying his best to control his temper.

"I called you to tell you that I'm in a relationship with her. You think I hadn't thought of that when I started getting interested in her? I'm not stupid—you know that."

Cai Li sighed, furrowing her brows together as she now felt bad that she had thought of her son that way. However, she couldn't help it. Pan An never believed her and he always struggled with his feelings towards Ruo Xi even after their sudden breakup.

And with him suddenly saying that he is now in a relationship with Shu Xian, Cai Li couldn't help but wonder how that even happened!

"Then tell me," Cai Li started, wanting to make things clear. "How this has happened with Ruo Xi suddenly coming?"

Before Pan An answered, he took a deep breath. With him now composed and with his anger now slipping away, he answered their mother, not minding that his sister is listening to him. 

"Ruo Xi came and when I thought that I'd feel melancholic, I couldn't help but feel nonchalance. 

"I know I was looking for her for such a long time but now that she was before me and acting as if nothing happened, I can't help but think of Shu Xian. 

"And then it happened. When she was purposely trying to get my attention, I couldn't help but be pissed off. And when Shu Xian ran away because it's as if she knew who she is and what she has done, I just had to chase her."

The two of them listened to Pan An. With them surprised with what he was telling him, the professor just continued talking to them and kept expressing his own feelings. 

"Then she was there—before me. Shu Xian was about to cry and I asked her why and if she knew her. She didn't say yes exactly, but her reaction was enough answer for that.

"And then she just suddenly went of and then confessed that she was starting to fall for me and that's when everything went like a boom. All of a sudden, I felt this coursing desire and adoration flowing from within me—it's as if I was waiting for that exact moment."

Cai Li and Pan An's sister couldn't help but smile. With them listening to how Pan An is so comfortable at telling them of what had happened, they were happy that Pan An is not shy and afraid to tell them anything. 

Pan An obviously trusted both of them since they are his most trusted family. 

And they completely understood why. Pan An was never close with his father—especially with what had happened with their older brother. 

"And I was overcome with my feelings. I could not think of anyone else other than Shu Xian. When I saw her cry and when I saw the hurt in her eyes as she walked out, I can't help but feel my heart ache. 

"Before I even realized it, Shu Xian had become an important person in my life ever so suddenly without me even realizing it. I just kept denying it at first because I thought it was nothing serious and that I may be using her just to forget her. 

"But that wasn't the case. I wanted Shu Xian to feel important. Of course, I'll take it slow for her. I am indeed her first boyfriend.

"Ruo Xi was there before my eyes, yes, finally, in the flesh when I always looked for her. However, now that she was there right in front of me, I can't help but think of Shu Xian. I didn't want her to look hurt—I didn't want Ruo Xi anymore when I realized that. 

"She was throwing passes at me, yes… but I find myself no longer succumbing to her. Shu Xian… I want to get to know her more."

Then it suddenly went quiet after Pan An had said his overflowing emotions—stronger than ever as if he was right in front of his mother and sister. Even the two women couldn't believe what they have heard but knowing Pan An, it was something serious and thought well. 

Because Pan An would have never felt this way if he still was foolishly in love with Ruo Xi after all these years. Now that he has said this…

It could already mean that his heart had finally opened up to someone—and it opened up to a woman who's better than that bitch at that.
