Chapter 53 Yulia''s Boyfriend


    "Are you leaving?"


    Yulia asked with a hint of regret when she saw the man holding his car keys in his hand.


    "Unfortunately my friend has been looking for me, urgently trying tomunicate with me so I have to


    go home now. I''m sorry that I can''t apany you," said the man looking guilty.


    Meanwhile, although he was looking sorry, his eyes were looking straight into Yulia''s eyes, as if he was


    trying tomunicate something to her. Yulia bit her lips while wringing her hands and turned to look at


    the main vi.


    When she thought of Melinda, she really didn''t want to go back to the banquet hall at all, because no


    one cared about her existence anyway.


    "Can... can I go with you?"


    Yulia asked after some hesitation. She liked hanging around the man because he gave her a sense of


    comfort and always took her seriously. He treated her as if she mattered.


    "Are you sure you don''t want to go back to the banquet?"


    The man gave her a prating stare. His eyes seemed to see right through her thoughts at a nce.


    She nodded shyly, and said looking aggrieved, "I don''t want to stay there at all.


    "I''m going out for a drink with a few friends. Are you sure you are okay with that?"


    The man suddenly walked up and touched Yulia''s head, as if trying tofort her. Such intimate


    behavior as if they were familiar with each other made Yulia blush. Then she threw caution to the wind


    and put her arms around the man''s waist and said, "Take me away with you, please."


    His chest did not disappoint. It was as warm as she had imagined, and he didn''t refuse her request.


    She was sure that this person really must like her. She couldn''t help but give a secret smile marveling


    at how lucky she was.


    "Alright, let''s go," the man said as he tagged Yulia''s hand, leading her to the car.


    Once Yulia got into the car, he made sure she wasfortable before he fastened her seat belt for her


    carefully.


    "I don''t know anything about you, at least tell me your name for starters."


    Yulia had been so happy with all the attention she was receiving; she was in cloud nine, and had even


    forgotten to ask for his name. The man smiled exposing his well-lined teeth, fit for a toothpaste advert


    and said, "My name is n Lu."


    "n?"


    "What?"


    n Lu looked at Yulia in confusion, while she was giggling and grinning like a Cheshire cat. The car


    was soon started and smoothly left the Gu''s mansion, gaining power as it cruised down the freeway.


    Yulia was not worried that they were not talking to each other. She was veryfortable with the


    silence as long as she was sitting beside n Lu. She kept smiling the whole time until they reached


    their destination.


    Several of n Lu’s friends were at the bar. As soon as he walked hand in hand with Yulia, they teased


    the two of them for a while as if it was not an everyday urrence for n Lu to show up with a girl.


    Yulia was still adjusting to meeting so many strangers so she stayed quiet beside n Lu.


    They started ying dice while n Lu drank as fast as he was ying, although he prevented Yulia


    from drinking as much. Soon he was too drunk to even hold his head up so he leaned on Yulia, and


    took a nap.


    Yulia did not mind such intimate behavior and hoped for more.


    The rest of his friends continued drinking and watching the show without giving them a single thought


    until it was past 1 a.m. before they started leaving one by one, each for their own direction. Before they


    left they would look at the two curiously as if just noticing that they were still there.

    Yulia was getting drowsy and tired so Yulia took n Lu to the nearest hotel and booked the two of


    them a room. As soon as they got into the room, they both slumped into the bed at the same time. Yulia


    fell on n Lu who she had been struggling to hold upright and could barely move. Once it registered


    in her mind that she was actually on top of n Lu, she gingerly put her hands on his abdomen making


    provocative movements, trying to see if she could turn him on despite his drunken stupor.


    n Lu sharply held his breath and stopped Yulia''s hand from moving further.


    "Miss Gu, need to take a shower fast."


    Yulia knew that n Lu was rejecting her offer. He sounded more sober than she had assumed he


    was. Her face turned pale from embarrassment, but before she could apologize, she heard n Lu


    say, "We will have a better chance in the future."


    The double meaning of his words was clearly reflected in the soft look that he gave her, and Yulia was


    instantly appeased. She had been a little embarrassed by her daring actions, but now she felt better as


    if she had gotten a new leash in life.


    Yulia wrapped her arms around n Lu''s waist and said softly, "Please call me Yulia."


    "Yulia, please stop, I''m afraid if you continue what you are doing, I won''t be able to control myself


    anymore." She wanted to say that it didn''t matter if he couldn''t control himself, but she softened when


    she saw the look of desperation in his eyes and how much respect he had for her.


    "Okay."


    Yulia kissed him lightly on the left cheek, then went back and tucked herself into bed. She always


    thought that all men were kind and treated women well just for sex, but n Lu was different.


    After taking a shower, n Lu sobered up a lot. He hailed a taxi for Yulia and sent her home after


    profusely apologizing for his unbing behavior.


    When Yulia got home, she arrived right on time just as Melinda was taking out the cake that she and


    Jonas had made. Nelson was over the moon since they had spent such a long time with him. He had a


    big smile permanently stered on his face.


    Yulia stayed there with them burning with the need to ask who n Lu really was, but she held back.


    Eventually, she went to the dining room early the next morning and asked Nelson who was having


    breakfast by himself.


    "n Lu? Oh, he must be among the group of people who had started their own business in recent


    years. He is quite famous in the Information Technology industry although I don''t know much about


    that. Your brother may be better ced to give you more information about that industry."


    Nelson wasn''t familiar with what the young people were doing nowadays, but he was still impressed by


    their sess and their business acumen. Yulia became even more attracted to n Lu when she


    heard what her grandfather had to say about him. Her grandfather was never easily impressed and a


    person who started a business on his own without any external help must be very outstanding.


    "Why do you ask, howe you are so interested in this guy?"


    Nelson studied Yulia looking confused while Yulia tried to hurriedly avoid making any eye contact with


    him. "I heard a few people talking about himst night, and I got curious," she said perfunctorily.


    Yulia then continued asking more questions about n Lu, interrogating her grandfather as if she was


    the FBI, although Nelson wasn''t paying much attention. He finally realized she wasn''t going to stop


    asking so he asked Gavin to collect some useful information for her.


    Armed with the information she had collected from Gavin, Yulia went to Aner Electronic Technology


    Company. She curiously looked around thepany that had a modern electric feeling, giving off the


    vibes that it was definitely owned by a young person. She then walked to the front desk going for what


    she wanted.


    "Hello, I''m Yulia Gu from Soaring Group. I am here to see n Lu."


    Knowing clearly that she couldn''t just walk into people''s offices without an appointment, Yulia


    introduced herself giving her identity. As soon as she heard who Yulia was, the receptionist


    immediately made a call to n Lu''s office.


    "Miss Gu, the boss''s office is on the seventh floor, the secretary will be waiting for you as soon as you


    step out of the elevator, to show you to his office."


    The receptionist gave her very clear directions and it was only after Yulia had left that she stopped and


    wondered when theirpany had anything to do with Soaring Group.


    On the seventh floor, a secretary came to receive her with a professional smile.


    "Miss Gu, our boss is still in a meeting. Please wait for a moment," said the secretary. Then she


    brought a cup of tea for Yulia, who was the only one left in the office at that moment.


    Yulia carefully inspected the office with a lot of curiosity. The office was very minimalist, with not too


    many colors. It mainly had ck and white colors and was instead decorated with many brand names


    of various major electronic brands that some she could identify, while others she wasn''t very familiar


    with. They must have been international brands.


    n Lu had bloodshot eyes and was gently rubbing the back of his neck as he twisted it left and right


    trying to loosen up the kinks as he walked into his office. He always felt exhausted and ufortable


    after a night out and the subsequent hangover.


    "Yulia."


    A faint smile slowly spread across his face lighting up the whole room as soon as he saw her. "I''m sorry


    for keeping you waiting for so long," said n Lu apologetically.


    "Ohh don''t worry, I hope I didn''t disturb you too much bying to see you with such short notice?"


    "No, not really, I''m very happy that you came."


    The smile on Yulia''s face got bigger. She knew that n Lu must really like her for him to dot on her so


    much and allow her such liberties.


    "How about I show you around thepany?"


    As n Lu spoke, Yulia nodded her head excitedly. n Lu''spany hadn''t gonerge scale yet


    since it had been developed in thest two years. Most of his employees were in the IT industry and


    were young people who looked like technology geeks. As a result, Yulia had a new understanding of


    how things worked.


    Yulia had a serious crush on n Lu, and liked him more, the more time she spent with him. She would


    come to Aner Electronic Technology Company anytime she was free and was soon a frequent fixture in


    thepany. Everyone in thepany was familiar with her, and her rtionship to their boss


    although they weren''t very clear on how to ssify them.


    n Lu was a romantic man and Yulia was overwhelmed by his numerous surprises that woulde


    from time to time and totally fell in love with him.


    "n, let''s have dinner at my house today."


    Yulia had grown more and more fond of n Lu with every passing time that she spent with him. In her


    eyes, n Lu was a knowledgeable, talented, and capable person who even owned his own business.


    He was perfect for her.


    "I don''t think this is a good idea," n Lu said hesitantly.


    Their rtionship had been developing so fast that they were close to taking thest step since Yulia


    was so eager to be officially together with him.


    "n, I want you to meet my family. Grandpa praised you before when I asked him about you and I am


    sure that he will like you."


    She wanted to make sure that n Lu was acknowledged by her family, so that she could further


    develop their rtionship with n Lu. Yulia didn''t bother to hide her real intentions.


    "Yulia, I don''t think I am good enough for you."


    n Lu was not confident about himself and whether he was in Yulia''s league although she kept


    comforting him and assured him that Nelson would like him.


    "Well, okay, I will only go with you if you apany me to buy gifts for your family since I don''t know


    what Grandpa and the others will like."


    After n Lu agreed to apromise, Yulia was so excited that she kept jumping in short fast steps


    around him, before giving him a tight hug. She took him to buy gifts happily and informed Gavin that


    she would be taking a guest for dinner and it was very important.


    Nelson didn''t know who the person was, but he still informed Jonas and Melinda to make sure that they


    were back home for dinner. Dinner was for entertaining guests. When they saw that it was a man that


    Yulia had invited for dinner, they all cordially said hello although they had reserved expressions on their


    faces.


    "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend."


    Yulia introduced n Lu to Nelson but Nelson didn''t say anything except look at n Lu with sharp


    eyes. So n Lu took his silence as his cue to start talking and give out his gifts.


    "Grandpa, I''m sorry to visit you without an appointment. This is a gift I prepared for you. I hope you will


    like it."


    "Take a seat, please. Gavin, ask the servants to start serving dinner."


    Gavin epted the gift on behalf of Nelson. n Lu then bought all the gifts for everyone with great


    care. Even Jonas and Melinda received gifts.


    Nelson had always wanted Yulia to find a boyfriend. Now that she had gotten one, he didn''t say much.


    He wasn''t opposed to his presence, he just needed to get to know him well before he epted him for


    his granddaughter''s boyfriend.


    "Aner Electronic Technology Company?" said Nelson aloud.


    He felt as if the name was familiar before he remembered that Yulia had previously grilled him about


    this man relentlessly until he had to ask Gavin to help her out. It turned out that the young man Yulia


    had been interested in, was the man right in front of him. He looked nice, but Nelson needed time to


    know exactly how he was.


    Jonas generally paid little attention to Yulia, but he was still interested in the man his sister was dating.


    The man was an IT guru, and the topics they were talking about were more IT oriented, since it was


    also an area of interest for Jonas.


    Melinda didn''t understand much what they were talking about, so she just ate quietly without bothering


    to embarrass herself by contributing to topics that she had no clue and were of no interest to her. She,


    however, noticed that Jonas''s face was not as animated as usual; if anything; he seemed gloomy and


    kept getting annoyed by the minute. She was a little curious to find out what was affecting his mood so


    much.


    "What''s wrong? Don''t you like him?"


    Melinda asked Jonas after n Lu left.


    "He should be an expert in the IT industry, but when I asked him some questions on IT, his answers


    were all wrong."


    What Jonas said shocked Melinda. Didn''t he say that he was an expert in the IT field? He shouldn''t


    perform so badly when asked a few questions by Jonas. Now she understood why there was


    something wrong with Jonas''s expression earlier.


    "Do you think he is lying about his background?"


    Jonas didn''t reply, but his actions thereafter exined everything. He had asked William to send


    someone to investigate n Lu secretly.


    "Is it appropriate for you to do that?"


    Melinda asked. Jonas didn''t think that he had done anything wrong. If there was something wrong with


    n Lu, it would just be more problems for him.


    "I will only be at ease once I do my own investigation and everything is clear," answered Jonas, while


    still in deep thought.


    Melinda didn''t say anything. She didn''t want to get involved; if anything, she''d better stay away from


    Yulia''s issues.


    However, no matter how secretive William had been, Yulia finally got to hear about it. She heard that


    her brother was doubting her beloved man, so Yulia had gone to confront Jonas without


    thinking.
