Yu Minglang was intrigued when he heard she had something to say to him.
Qian was the first to sit on the long bench in the lakeside pavilion while Yu Minglang stood, waiting for her to speak.
Could she be wanting to express some feelings about their impending separation? He braced himself, planning to discreetly hold her hand when no one was watching once she was done...
"How's the investigation going?" Qian crossed her legs and put one hand in her pocket, asking like a boss chatting with a subordinate.
"What investigation?"
"Zheng Xu when he was 14."
Splash, a bucket of water doused all of Yu Minglang's pleasant thoughts.
"We hardly have time alone, and you just have to bring him up?"
Qian pushed her glasses up.
"As a man who can be used by a woman, you should be grateful you still have some value. At least over 90% of men are useless to me, and being in the 10% I can use shows you're quite outstanding."
