Chapter 102 The First Kiss to Ming Wei (Bonus Chapter)
As people were leaving get off work, the elevators carried batches of people downstairs. Ming Wei and Qi Fei had been busy brainstorming ideas for Xia Wanfeng's event these past two days, so they decided to have dinner together.

The sky outside the window was a bit gloomy, giving the impression that I had been working overtime for quite a while.

The elevator descended to the twelfth floor and stopped. As the elevator doors opened, the two women saw Du Lian standing inside.

"Assistant Du, what a coincidence." Qi Fei greeted Du Lian and then took Ming Weiyi's hand as they entered the elevator.

"You two are working overtime again?" Du Lian asked casually, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, we've reached an agreement with Xia Wanfeng's agent. She'll be attending the event we've planned this Saturday, so of course we need to hurry."

When Qi Fei answered Du Lian's questions, her relaxed demeanor made it seem as if she already considered Du Lian a friend.

Following Qi Fei's words, Ming Wei continued, "Fortunately, this collaboration went very smoothly. They signed the endorsement contract electronically as soon as they received it, without even mentioning that they wanted to meet with us in person."

Without thinking, Du Lian blurted out, "Of course it went smoothly. Xia Wanfeng is President Pei's friend."

Then, Mingwei also looked up at Du Lian, her eyes seeming to say: Say it again?
Du Lian was a little confused. From Ming Weiyi's eyes, he could tell that Ming Weiyi didn't know about this.

"No wonder Xia Wanfeng spent millions to buy Ming Chengze's painting at the last auction. It turns out it's because she's friends with President Pei." Sensing the gossip, Qi Fei immediately thought of what happened last month.

"What kind of friends are they?" Ming Weiyi looked at Du Lian. With Qi Fei by her side, Ming Weiyi's expression remained unreadable.

"Just ordinary friends." Du Lianzhen regretted his slip of the tongue.

Moreover, he truly didn't expect that Pei Ming hadn't told Ming Wei about being good friends with Xia Wanfeng.

"What kind of ordinary friend would spend millions so easily? I don't have any ordinary friends like that." Ming Wei seemed to be gossiping, but she was actually subtly criticizing Pei Ming.

"Yeah, I bet our CEO Pei isn't like those other rich young masters who have affairs with female celebrities, is he?"

Du Lianzhen really wanted to sew Qi Fei's mouth shut right now.

"How could that be! President Pei only has his wife in his heart and by his side. Xia Wanfeng is really just an ordinary female friend of his." Du Lian tried his best to explain, and he could already imagine Pei Ming scolding him.

"It's also possible that the two of them had feelings for each other before, but President Pei was forced to marry the eldest daughter of our Ming Group due to a family marriage arrangement."

The elevator dinged, signaling that they had arrived at the underground parking garage on the first basement level. Ming Wei was the first to step out of the elevator.

Following behind Ming Weiyi, Du Lian glanced at Qi Fei speechlessly, "Can you shut up? Are you the only one who can think and talk?"

"I won't shut up! Don't you understand freedom of speech?" Qi Fei wasn't going to back down from Du Lian at this point; it was already past closing time.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you..." After saying this, Du Lian walked in a different direction from Qi Fei.

Qi Fei had no idea what she had said wrong; all she knew was that Du Lian's attitude towards her had made her very unhappy.

Inside Ming Weiyi's car, Qi Fei sat in the passenger seat and couldn't help but complain to Ming Weiyi, "What was Du Lian's attitude just now? I didn't say anything to him!"

"You seem to care a little about his attitude?" Ming Wei didn't want to bring her emotions to Qi Fei's ears, so she teased Qi Fei as usual.

"How can it be!"

"Oh, stop pretending with me..."

Seeing Ming Weiyi's gossipy smile, Qi Fei simply kept quiet; she was now speechless.

In the other car, Du Liangang had just sat in the driver's seat when he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Pei Ming.

"I accidentally told Miss that you and Xia Wanfeng are friends. Take care tonight."

Pei Ming didn't take Du Lian's message seriously; Ming Wei would find out sooner or later that Xia Wanfeng was his friend. The night passed quickly with gossip and casual conversation over dinner.

The vehicle traveled through one bustling street after another, eventually getting closer and closer to home.

When Pei Ming returned home after dinner, Ming Wei was already leaning back in a chair by the French windows.

"Didn't you say you were going to have dinner with Qi Fei and then go shopping together? You're back quite early."

As Pei Ming spoke, he walked step by step toward Ming Weiyi.

"You're back pretty early today, not even ten o'clock yet." Ming Wei was also thinking about how to steer the conversation towards Xia Wanfeng.

"Today I had dinner with designers and engineers; they don't have as many tricks up their sleeves."

After Pei Ming finished speaking, he naturally sat down in Ming Weiyi's armchair, with Ming Weiyi's waist right next to him.

"Don't you say what you should say, and instead always say things that don't need to be said?" Ming Wei put down her phone and looked up at Pei Ming.

"What is it that needs to be said?" Pei Ming was looking at Ming Weiyi, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes at this moment.

"What do you say?"

Ming Wei straightened up, moving even closer to Pei Ming. She could even smell the faint scent of alcohol emanating from him.

Suddenly, Pei Ming remembered what Du Lian had said to him, and he smiled slightly.

"You mean Xia Wanfeng? I've known Xia Wanfeng for many years, and we're very good friends."

"No wonder you said I made a good choice in selecting Xia Wanfeng as the spokesperson; it turns out she's your good friend." Ming Wei also smiled, though it was a forced smile.

Mingwei still gets angry when she thinks about how Pei Ming personally told her that the spokesperson was a good choice. So that's why!

"It's not entirely because she's my good friend. The hype surrounding her buying Chengze's painting was indeed quite high, so she's definitely the right person to be her spokesperson."

"Your good friend is really something. She spent a fortune to buy the painting to help you gain popularity, and you didn't even introduce her."

"I was busy at the time and forgot to tell you about it." Pei Ming thought about it seriously. He really didn't take Xia Wanfeng buying the painting seriously.

"Did you forget to tell me, or are you hiding something?" Ming Weiyi moved closer to Pei Ming again, this time with their faces only ten centimeters apart.

Ming Wei was so close to Pei Ming, and her eyes were fixed on him, which made Pei Ming's heart beat faster.

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, perhaps it was the beautiful night view outside the window, or perhaps it was because Ming Weiyi's face was too alluring, but Pei Ming inexplicably kissed Ming Weiyi's soft lips.

The kiss was light and gentle, but Mingwei felt every pore on her body tighten. Her eyes widened in that instant, and her heartbeat was completely out of her control.

When Pei Ming kissed Ming Weiyi for the first time, he felt as if a surge of heat rushed straight to his head. He finally got to experience Ming Weiyi's soft, fragrant red lips.

"What are you doing?" Mingwei was genuinely a little embarrassed, and she pretended to be blaming Pei Ming.

Pei Ming found this question difficult to answer. He pointed at Ming Weiyi and teased, "Your face is red again..."

"I'm not playing with you anymore! I'm going to sleep!" Ming Wei was also a little embarrassed; she just wanted to escape the scene and stop her face from turning red.

Watching Ming Weiyi hastily flee the scene, Pei Ming laughed wildly. In short, teasing Ming Weiyi was still the most fun!
