Ye Wenyu's knot in her heart was finally untied, and she became warm and happy again. Her heart was no longer filled with ice and snow, but with sunshine.

She pressed her face tightly against his chest and closed her eyes happily. From that moment on, her once dark and hopeless heart was finally bathed in warm sunshine and filled with hope once more.

Therefore, when she left Lin Tingfeng's office, her steps were as light as water bubbles.

The corridor was quiet; she could hear her own happy heartbeat. It was still lunchtime, and as she approached the secretarial office, it remained eerily silent, like a still valley. She thought her colleagues were probably still out for lunch. However, just as she was thinking that, she heard a noise in the office, like a mouse stealing something—the sound of someone tiptoeing and rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

Who could it be? They're obviously looking for something.

Ye Wenyu immediately became alert, a sense of doubt rising in her mind. She slowed her pace, tensed her body, and listened carefully. Who was in the office? At this time, everyone should be resting. She carefully pushed the door, trying not to make any noise. Soon, she found that the door was locked from the inside. She gently crouched down and saw a pair of purple high heels walking back and forth.

Purple high heels? Those belong to Lin Tingyue! She saw her wearing them this morning. Purple high heels with a purple skirt.

Beautiful yet wicked.

What was Lin Tingyue doing in her room? Why was she pacing back and forth and locking the door? Why was she rummaging through drawers and cabinets when everyone was out? Could it be that inviting her to lunch today, and even the internship in the secretarial group, were all part of her scheme?

Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu couldn't help but feel terrified.

Her face was pale as she continued to lie prone on the cold floor. Through the crack in the door, she saw Lin Tingyue searching for something. Her feet, clad in purple high heels, moved as stealthily as a cat's. The floor was littered with folders, storage boxes, A4 papers, and various other items, which had been neatly arranged but were now scattered haphazardly, seemingly on their last legs. Ye Wenyu thought to herself, "Lin Tingyue is going to turn the entire secretarial team upside down!"

The secretariat has many important documents that cannot be leaked. What exactly is she doing?

She wondered what to do. Should she use the key to open the door and go in, or pretend nothing had happened? Lin Tingyue's rummaging around like this must be for some ulterior motive! If she pretended nothing had happened, she would be letting Lin Tingfeng down. If she used the key, Lin Tingyue would be alert when the key turned the lock. Then, even if she went in, Lin Tingyue could easily find an excuse to cover up her purpose, saying she was just looking for something insignificant because she was new to the secretarial group and not familiar with it. In short, without evidence, it was best not to alert her.

Thinking this through, she pursed her lips and pondered deeply. She saw the phone in her hand, so she opened the camera and started recording a video. She filmed the pair of feet in purple high heels walking back and forth through the crack in the door, intending to use it as evidence to expose her later.

After taking photos for more than ten minutes, her hands and feet went numb, and her body began to feel cold and stiff from being pressed against the cold ground for so long. Then she heard her colleagues in the secretarial team laughing and talking.

At the same time, Lin Tingyue inside the room also tensed up, because in the instant Ye Wenyu jumped up and quickly stood up, she saw those feet in purple high heels running around nervously, trying to restore all the things in the secretariat that she had messed up.

Lin Tingyue is such an idiot. If it were Ye Wenyu who was secretly looking for things, she would have quickly put them back in their place when she was searching, instead of leaving them scattered all over the house.

However, Ye Wenyu frowned, thinking that Miss Lin had been waited on hand and foot since birth, so it was understandable that she didn't know that things should be put back in their place at all times, because she simply didn't understand such trivial matters as tidiness and organization.

However, why do siblings have to fight like enemies? Why does the younger sister steal things in her own company like a little mouse?

This is a mystery.

Ye Wenyu stood at the door of the secretarial group, pretending to have just arrived at the office and opening her handbag to look for her keys. Linda and a group of colleagues walked up to her with smiles, put a hand on her shoulder, and said to her affectionately, "Xiaoyu, why didn't you go to eat? Miss Lin is treating us today."

Another colleague said, "It's strange. Lin Da invited us to dinner, but she only stayed for less than five minutes before saying she had something to do and leaving. Miss is indeed a very busy person. She probably doesn't have time to spend with us."

Ye Wenyu smiled and said to Linda, "I made an appointment with a friend early this morning." She thought to herself that Lin Tingyue, who was overhearing their conversation, was probably pale with fright at this moment.

She took out her key to open the door, when with a "click," the door opened, and Lin Tingyue, dressed in a purple dress, stood in the doorway, yawning sleepily, smiling gently as she greeted them, "You're back."

Linda paused, looked at Lin Tingyue suspiciously, and asked her, "Tingyue, were you in the office just now?"

Lin Tingyue's smile held a hint of nervousness, but it was fleeting and easily missed by most. Ye Wenyu, looking down, spotted the pair of purple high heels. Indeed, her guess had been proven right once again! The one frantically searching through drawers in the office was Lin Tingyue. Only she could pull off purple; most women wouldn't dare to try such a terrifying shade—beautiful yet alluring, unforgettable at first glance.

Lin Tingyue glanced at Linda, then at the other colleagues in the secretarial team, smiled slightly, and pretended to have just woken up. She said to them, "I'm so sorry. I was supposed to stay with you all after the dinner, but something came up and I had to leave. I wanted to come back and have lunch with you all, but my stomach wasn't feeling well, so I went back to the office to rest first."

Linda nodded, still somewhat suspicious, and said to her, "If you're going back to your office to rest, why would you lock the door? Our building has excellent security; you need a key card to use the elevator, so there's no chance of a thief."

Thief? Upon hearing this word, Lin Tingyue's face turned pale, even paler than the wall behind her. Ye Wenyu saw it all and thought to herself, "Sending all her colleagues out and running around like this on her first day, what else could it be but stealing? Lin Tingyue, you're too impatient."

Lin Tingyue said to Linda, "Okay, okay, I'm new here and don't know the situation. Girls always have to be careful. Who sleeps without locking the door? But, Sister Linda, after hearing what you said, I won't lock the door next time."

Linda nodded and led all the employees into the secretariat, as it was not long before the afternoon workday began.

Ye Wenyu followed them inside. As soon as she entered the office, she immediately looked around. The office had basically been restored to how it was when they left; the documents that had been carelessly tossed on the floor were gone. However, something still felt different.
