Pei Yucheng pinched the spot between his eyebrows. “Miss Lin, apart from me and you, I wouldn’t allow anyone to enter Cloud Manor or my study. No one could imitate my handwriting. Besides, given JM Corporation’s professionalism, they couldn’t possibly not be able to verify the authenticity of my handwriting. Therefore, the woman you are talking about doesn’t exist.”
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 didn’t 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 Yucheng’s last words made sense. She had wondered about this before. There was no way the JM Corporation wouldn’t 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 wasn’t up to something, why would he lie to her?
Lin Yan deliberated over this for a long time before she asked, “Then… have you taught your childhood friend or childhood playmate how to cook?”
Pei Yucheng asked, “Cook?”
Lin Yan nodded solemnly. “Yeah! I know a woman who has inherited your cooking skills and tastes. Didn’t you teach her?”
Pei Yucheng’s recipes were absolutely unique. If he hadn’t taught her personally, how could there be a second person in the world who could cook like him?
Pei Yucheng hadn’t expected Lin Yan to notice this, so he hadn’t noticed that anything was amiss. “I haven’t taught anyone how to cook. Of course, if you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Lin Yan almost coughed out blood when she heard him. She hurriedly stopped him. “You don’t have to…”
Was she crazy? Why would she learn how to cook from Pei Yucheng?
Lin Yan calmed herself down and added, “Mr. Pei, I still have to say something. Perhaps you should consider who the woman you like is so that you won’t show the wrong kind of affection to the wrong person.”
She had known this! How could Pei Yucheng have fallen for her? Had he seen another woman’s shadow through her?
After all, the few times she had interacted with Pei Yucheng had been when that “pervert” had possessed her…
Pei Yucheng fell silent.
The man’s eyes were like stars in a deep sea, quietly watching her.
After a long while, the man finally said, “Miss Lin, can I ask you a question too?”
Lin Yan replied sternly, “Go ahead.”
Pei Yucheng’s eyes sparkled behind his spectacles. “I remember you telling me that you had a best friend. The reason she got together with her boyfriend wasn’t because she liked him, but because of some special reason. Your best friend was at a loss and didn’t know if she should tell her boyfriend about it.”
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
She had indeed told Pei Yucheng about this before. However, the ‘best friend’ she had mentioned was herself.
Of course, she didn’t dare tell Pei Yucheng the truth. She’d merely wanted to use her status as her ‘bestie’ to find out more about him.
She still remembered Pei Yucheng’s reply…
