You Came Just After Your Boyfriend Left (1)

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows with a faint smile. "Miss Gu, you're so outstanding. There should be many young men competing to be your partner, right?"

Gu Liqing thought to herself, "How can those people compare to you?"

She blushed as she lowered her head. "Young Master Han, you must be joking. Actually… I've never had a boyfriend."

"No way?" Han Zhen's eyes had a teasing look.

Gu Liqing did not look up. Needlessly to say, she did not see the look in the man's eyes. She continued, "I graduated and returned to China last year. Because of the strict school rules, I rarely came back during my schooldays. I also didn't like the men I met overseas, so I never had a boyfriend. This is my first date…"

Han Zhen raised his glass and took a sip. He gazed at the woman in front of him and did not say anything.

Gu Liqing waited for Han Zhen to speak. After a long silence, she looked up and her heart skipped a beat.

He… was looking at her!

Due to Old Madam Han's quarter-Russian lineage, the Han family had deep set eyes and exquisite facial features, especially Han Zhen, who had amorous eyes with slightly upturned corners. He could charm people just by looking at them without saying a thing.

Gu Liqing felt that she had really fallen in love with him.

Han Zhen suddenly stood up. "Sorry, I'll go make a call."

Looking at his handsome face, Gu Liqing's heart fluttered. "… Okay."

After Han Zhen left, Gu Liqing touched her face. It was burning!

At the Yu family's residence in the military district.

In the living room, Old Madam Yu pretended to wipe her tears. "Poor me. I'm so old, but none of my three grandsons has married and raised a family. Look at the Jing family—at least they get to hug a little grandchild. As for me…"

On the sofa were all men. The siblings were seated according to their birth order. From left to right were Yu Dongchen, Yu Jinchuan, Yu Cunyu, Yu Chengyan, and Yu Yuting.

Before Old Madam Yu could finish, Yu Yuting's phone rang. He glanced at it and stood up immediately.

"What are you doing! Sit down!" Old Madam Yu pointed at him and shouted.

"Grandmother, I'm still young. Please educate First Brother and Second Brother more. I'll answer a call first." Yu Yuting fled to the second floor.

Everyone was silent.

In the study room on the second floor.

Yu Yuting answered the call thankfully. "Ah Zhen, you're such a good brother! Your call was timely. Otherwise, I would have to endure Grandma's nagging. Think about that scene—five grown men sitting there, getting reprimanded by Grandma. Tsk, tsk…"

Han Zhen interrupted him. "I think you should shut down your detective agency."

Yu Yuting was confused. "What do you mean?"

"Gu Liqing only returned from overseas last year, and the incident happened in November five years ago. She could not have been in China at the time."

Yu Yuting frowned. "That… might not be the case. What if she took leave and came back for a blind date?"

Han Zhen chuckled. "Alright, I'll give you another chance to investigate. If you don't find anything new, I'll find someone else."

"… Hey, can you not be so pragmatic? Will it kill you to support my detective agency?" Yu Yuting was depressed. "Besides, this detective agency is my big brother…"

Before he could finish, the call ended.

Yu Yuting was speechless…

Gu Liqing touched up her makeup. When Han Zhen returned, she raised a smile and said, "Young Master Han, I'm sorry. It's getting late. There's access control at home. I have to go back."
