However, at th...

Chapter Forty-Four: Promise Me One Thing

"Thank you, Miss Lin," Ye Yuyan said with a smile, but secretly she made up her mind to find an opportunity to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Sister Ye, you're so kind." Lin Yue nestled close to Ye Yuyan and whispered, "Can I come visit you often in the future?"

Ye Yuyan smiled slightly, patted Lin Yue's hair, and said gently, "Of course you can. I'd love for you to come visit me."

She paused, then added, "However, you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"Stop pretending to be sick," Ye Yuyan said with a smile. "Your brother is very worried about you; it will break his heart."

Lin Yue's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "I understand... I won't do it again."

"Okay, good girl," Ye Yuyan said with a smile, but a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

The relationship between myself and Lin Yue has only just begun.

As for where their future will lead, no one can predict.

In the corridor, Ye Yuyan and Lin Yue chatted and laughed.

"Miss Lin, please don't call me Sister Ye anymore."

"Just call me Yu Yan."

"Okay, Yu Yan!"

"Why!"

"You haven't asked my name yet. My name is Lin Yue, Lin as in forest and Yue as in joy."

"What a good name, the person lives up to it."

As she spoke, Lin Yue's stomach rumbled again.

"Oh dear, my stomach is protesting again!"

Ye Yuyan smiled.

"Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

"Great! I know a dessert shop near the company; their cakes are delicious!"

Lin Yue spoke excitedly, completely forgetting her earlier discomfort.

The two walked hand in hand, like inseparable sisters, toward the dessert shop.

Ye Yuyan chatted casually with Lin Yue, but in reality, she was secretly observing her every move.

She discovered that although Lin Yue was innocent and carefree, she was also simple-minded and had no defenses against her.

This made Ye Yuyan even more certain that Lin Yue did not know the secret of the badge.

"Lin Yue, your badge is really beautiful. Can I take a closer look?"

Ye Yuyan asked, feigning curiosity.

"OK."

Without hesitation, Lin Yue took off the badge and handed it to Ye Yuyan.

Ye Yuyan took the badge and examined it carefully.

She discovered that the badge was exquisitely crafted, with every detail handled perfectly.

On the back of the badge, there is also a very small letter "L".

What does this "L" represent?

Is it Lin Fan's surname? Or does it have another meaning?

Ye Yuyan was filled with doubts, and she decided that she must find out the origin of this badge as soon as possible.

"Yu Yan, have you made up your mind?"

Seeing that Ye Yuyan kept staring at the badge, Lin Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Okay, okay."

Ye Yuyan snapped out of her daze and quickly returned the badge to Lin Yue.

"Thank you, Lin Yue."

"You're welcome."

Lin Yue smiled as she accepted the badge and put it back on.

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the dessert shop.

Wow, there are so many people!

Lin Yue looked at the dessert shop, which was packed with customers, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It's okay, we'll wait a bit."

Ye Yuyan said with a smile.

The two waited at the store entrance for a while before finally getting an empty seat.

"Lin Yue, what would you like to eat?"

Ye Yuyan asked, holding the menu.

"I want this, this, and this!"

Lin Yue pointed to the pictures on the menu and said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll give you all of it."

Ye Yuyan said with a smile, but in her heart she was calculating how to get more information about the badge out of Lin Yue.

Lin Yue is Lin Fan's closest person, so she must know a lot about Lin Fan.

And these things might help her unravel the secret of that badge.

"Lin Yue, you and your brother have such a good relationship."

Ye Yuyan said it casually.

"Of course! We're the closest siblings in the world!"

Lin Yue said proudly.

Has your brother ever told you anything about his childhood?

Ye Yuyan asked tentatively.

"I've mentioned it a few times, but not many."

Lin Yue recalled.

He said he was very naughty when he was a child, often got into trouble, and was often spanked by his parents.

Haha, your brother was so funny when he was little!

Ye Yuyan said with a smile, but in her heart she was secretly analyzing Lin Yue's words.

She discovered that Lin Yue didn't seem to know much about Lin Fan's childhood either.

This disappointed her, but she did not give up.

"Lin Yue, has your brother ever told you if he has any special... birthmarks or scars?"

Ye Yuyan continued to probe and ask.

"Birthmark? Scar?"

Lin Yue frowned and thought for a moment.

"I don't think so... I've never seen any special marks on my brother."

"oh……"

Ye Yuyan said with some disappointment, but she did not give up.

"Lin Yue, has your brother ever told you if he has any... special hobbies or habits?"

Ye Yuyan continued to ask.

"Hobbies? Habits?"

Lin Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"My brother seems to really enjoy collecting antiques. He often goes to antique shops to find some strange and unusual things."

"antique?"

Ye Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked.

Has your brother ever told you which antique shop he likes the most?

"This... I don't think I've ever heard him mention it."

Lin Yue shook her head and said.

Ye Yuyan was somewhat disappointed, but she did not give up.

She believed that as long as she continued to work hard, she would definitely find a clue.

"Lin Yue, has your brother told you anything...?"

Ye Yuyan wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Yue suddenly interrupted her.

"Yu Yan, why do you keep asking me about my brother?"

Lin Yue asked with some confusion.

"Do you...like my brother?"

"ah?"

Ye Yuyan was stunned; she hadn't expected Lin Yue to ask that question so suddenly.

"I...I didn't..."

Ye Yuyan quickly denied it.

"I was just... just curious."

"Really?"

Lin Yue stared into Ye Yuyan's eyes, as if trying to discern something.

"Of course it's true!"

Ye Yuyan said, feigning composure.

"How could I possibly like your brother? We're just work partners."

"oh……"

Lin Yue nodded, seemingly believing Ye Yuyan's words.

But Ye Yuyan felt a little flustered.

My behavior just now was a bit too obvious.

If she continued to ask, Lin Yue would definitely become suspicious.

"Lin Yue, let's eat the cake first."

Ye Yuyan quickly changed the subject.

"OK!"
