“Brother Yucheng, I shall head back first. Thank you for your hospitality.”
Tang Rong didn’t stay any longer. She had already said what she needed to say. Even though Pei Yucheng’s attitude had been impeccable, she didn’t believe that Lin Yan would be so nonchalant.
A man like Pei Yucheng hated jealous women the most.
After Pei Ze and Tang Rong left, Pei Yutang was the first to flee. “Brother, sister-in-law, I won’t disturb you two. I’m leaving too!”
As soon as he said that, he picked up a drumstick from the table and fled.
Pei Nanxu and Xing Chen had witnessed Lin Yan be calm before the storm, so they didn’t dare stay any longer. They bade her farewell and left.
When everyone left, only Lin Yan and Pei Yucheng were left in the room.
Pei Yucheng stroked the girl’s head. “Is the food not to your liking? You didn’t touch your chopsticks. Shall I cook something for you?”
Lin Yan, who was still sulking, didn’t reply.
When she snapped back to her senses, Pei Yucheng had already put on his apron and gone to the kitchen to cook.
When Lin Yan saw that Pei Yucheng had entered the kitchen, she got even angrier and almost vomited blood…
Is this how you torture your girlfriend?
Pei Yucheng soon served three dishes and a soup. The two of them sat down at the dining table.
Lin Yan, who had been silent all this while, took a deep breath. Her suppressed anger finally erupted. She stared at Pei Yucheng and enunciated each word slowly. “Childhood friends…”
As expected, he couldn’t avoid this…
Pei Yucheng, who was helping Lin Yan get some soup, paused for a moment before he coughed softly and explained, “We’ve only known each other since we were young.”
Lin Yan snorted coldly. “What about the childhood playmate?”
Pei Yucheng paused for a second before he gazed at the girl gently. “There are no childhood sweethearts, and there are no childhood playmates. There is only you.”
Actually, Lin Yan knew very well that even if Pei Yucheng had a childhood friend or two, she had no right to question him. After all, that was all in the past.
But where was that close confidante?!
“Are you sure this was just an acquaintance and not an intimate relationship?”
Regardless of whether she had the right to ask or not, Lin Yan didn’t beat around the bush. “If you weren’t close, she wouldn’t know the password to your personal equipment, and she would also not be able to enter and exit Cloud Manor freely. Plus, she would not be able to imitate your signature to the point that even JM Corporation’s employees wouldn’t be able to identify it…”
His signature?
Initially, Pei Yucheng had been suspicious. Now, he was certain.
Previously, he had used Lin Yan’s body because of an emergency. He had assumed that she had been sleeping deeply, but it seemed that she hadn’t been.
Lin Yan had to know what she had done that day. However, she didn’t suspect him. Instead… she had a strange theory…
Why did she think so?
She thought that there was a woman by his side who had an extraordinary relationship with him, and it was that woman who had controlled her body.
Why would he deliberately conceal the existence of such a “soulmate” from her?
Pei Yucheng was speechless…
If he did not tell her the truth, she would continue to misunderstand. However, if he told her the truth…
For the first time in his life, Pei Yucheng was in a dilemma.
How should he explain this?
