Pei Yucheng pinched the spot between his eyebrows. âMiss Lin, apart from me and you, I wouldnât allow anyone to enter Cloud Manor or my study. No one could imitate my handwriting. Besides, given JM Corporationâs professionalism, they couldnât possibly not be able to verify the authenticity of my handwriting. Therefore, the woman you are talking about doesnât exist.â
Pei Yucheng had given Lin Yan an answer.
The problem was that Lin Yan should never have suspected him.
Who would have thought that Pei Yucheng would be so shrewd?
Lin Yan didnât know how to explain herself, but she was certain that she had seen this with her own eyes.
She was certain that Pei Yucheng was lying by denying it.
Pei Yuchengâs last words made sense. She had wondered about this before. There was no way the JM Corporation wouldnât be able to verify the authenticity of his handwriting.
The problem was that she had confirmed this repeatedly and even called Cheng Mo.
The impossible had happened.
If Pei Yucheng wasnât up to something, why would he lie to her?
Lin Yan deliberated over this for a long time before she asked, âThen... have you taught your childhood friend or childhood playmate how to cook?â
Pei Yucheng asked, âCook?â
Lin Yan nodded solemnly. âYeah! I know a woman who has inherited your cooking skills and tastes. Didnât you teach her?â
Pei Yuchengâs recipes were absolutely unique. If he hadnât taught her personally, how could there be a second person in the world who could cook like him?
Pei Yucheng hadnât expected Lin Yan to notice this, so he hadnât noticed that anything was amiss. âI havenât taught anyone how to cook. Of course, if you want to learn, I can teach you.â
Lin Yan almost coughed out blood when she heard him. She hurriedly stopped him. âYou donât have to...â
Was she crazy? Why would she learn how to cook from Pei Yucheng?
Lin Yan calmed herself down and added, âMr. Pei, I still have to say something. Perhaps you should consider who the woman you like is so that you wonât show the wrong kind of affection to the wrong person.â
She had known this! How could Pei Yucheng have fallen for her? Had he seen another womanâs shadow through her?
After all, the few times she had interacted with Pei Yucheng had been when that âpervertâ had possessed her...
Pei Yucheng fell silent.
The manâs eyes were like stars in a deep sea, quietly watching her.
After a long while, the man finally said, âMiss Lin, can I ask you a question too?â
Lin Yan replied sternly, âGo ahead.â
Pei Yuchengâs eyes sparkled behind his spectacles. âI remember you telling me that you had a best friend. The reason she got together with her boyfriend wasnât because she liked him, but because of some special reason. Your best friend was at a loss and didnât know if she should tell her boyfriend about it.â
Lin Yanâs heart skipped a beat.
She had indeed told Pei Yucheng about this before. However, the âbest friendâ she had mentioned was herself.
Of course, she didnât dare tell Pei Yucheng the truth. Sheâd merely wanted to use her status as her âbestieâ to find out more about him.
She still remembered Pei Yuchengâs reply...
