Ye Yu, unaware that Ye Fei had already seen through his ploy, believed his words were airtight.
Internally, Ye Fei sneered but kept his anxious facade, pleading earnestly, "Brother Yu, come on, just tell me who she is, please? I promise, I won’t let anyone know you were the one who told me."
"It's not that I don’t want to tell you, Xiaoman. You’re my brother, and I want you to be happy," Ye Yu responded, looking conflicted. "But I made a promise to her. There are many beautiful women out there, why be so fixated on her?"
"But I really like her," Ye Fei insisted, increasing his urgency. "Brother Yu, just tell me. Whatever conditions you have, I’ll agree to them!"
"We’re brothers, no need to be so formal," Ye Yu said with a hypocritical smile, patting Ye Fei on the shoulder. "But I really can’t ask for anything from you right now. How about this—if I ever run into trouble, you help me out, and then I’ll tell you. I'll break my principles just once for you."
