Chapter 104 Married His White Moonlight

In the stillness of the night, the wind was strong by the river, and a bright red bridge spanning the river shone with its beauty in the night.

Not far from the bridge, in a place with few pedestrians, Xia Wanfeng sat on the stone path by the river, with several bottles of wine beside her. Next to the wine sat Pei Ming.

"It's been so long since I felt this free. I used to be just as free as the wind..."

Xia Wanfeng stretched out her hand and felt the wind blowing towards her. The wind ruffled her hair and also blew into her heart.

"It seems you're not doing well in the capital."

From Xia Wanfeng's words, Pei Ming guessed that she might not be happy in the entertainment industry.

"It's not that I'm having a bad time. I have my brother to protect me, and no one will bully me, it's just..."

Xia Wanfeng didn't finish her sentence; she picked up the wine bottle and took a swig.

"But what? It's too lonely being alone in the capital." Pei Ming said, picking up a bottle of wine and taking a sip.

Xia Wanfeng had grown accustomed to loneliness, except that there was someone she could never let go of.

"Is your brother doing well now? I watched the auction live last time, and he and his wife seemed very much in love."

Seeing Xia Wanfeng staring into her eyes, Pei Ming knew that even after so many years and Pei Cheng being married, she still hadn't let go of Pei Cheng.

"He's not doing too well right now either."

Pei Ming didn't want to fool Xia Wanfeng. Even if he didn't say anything about Pei Cheng, he would tell Xia Wanfeng once her brother found out.

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Wanfeng's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Xu Ling has returned from abroad, and she has brought their illegitimate child with her. My sister-in-law is also pregnant now, so he's in a difficult situation."

"Pei Cheng actually got Xu Ling pregnant with his child back then, is he out of his mind?" Xia Wanfeng's feelings for Pei Cheng were genuine, and so were her complaints about him.

"Don't you think Pei Cheng isn't as good or as ideal as you thought now?" Pei Ming said this deliberately in order to help Xia Wanfeng let go of Pei Cheng sooner.

"If someone like Xu Ling can have an ambiguous relationship with Pei Cheng, why couldn't I back then?" Xia Wanfeng started to get angry when she thought of this.

"I think you're full of air!" This time, it was Pei Ming who looked at Xia Wanfeng with a disgusted expression.

Xia Wanfeng realized that there was no point in saying such things now. She took a sip of wine and continued, "Anyway, I still approve of Pei Cheng's current wife. I wish them both happiness and a fulfilling life together."

"Sigh, so many years have passed, I'm too lazy to persuade you anymore. Let time heal all wounds." Pei Ming said, taking another sip of his wine.

"Honestly, I really envy you, to the point of being jealous." Xia Wanfeng smiled at Pei Ming, her eyes also carrying a hint of blessing.

"Why do you envy me?"

"I envy you for marrying your ideal woman so easily. How wonderful that is!"

Xia Wanfeng picked up the wine bottle and made a toasting gesture towards Pei Ming, as a blessing for him.

Pei Ming picked up the wine bottle and touched the wine in Xia Wanfeng's hand. "I also feel very happy, it's incredible."

"You absolutely have to send me a wedding invitation when you two get married, or I'll break off all ties with you!" Xia Wanfeng warned Pei Ming, extending her other hand.

"Aren't you just talking nonsense? How many lives do I have? Would I dare not invite you?" Pei Ming said, then laughed and tilted his head back to drink the wine in the bottle again.

Humans are complex beings of emotions. Xia Wanfeng felt bitter because her unrequited love was unrequited, but she was also overjoyed by her good friend's happiness.

The night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows grew darker, and the lights of the skyscrapers gradually went out. Ming Wei stood by the window, her arms crossed over her chest, her gaze fixed on the night outside. Her expression was a stark contrast to the beautiful night view.

Xia Wanfeng came today, and Pei Ming seemed to have vanished. Ming Wei knew without a doubt that Pei Ming must be with Xia Wanfeng.

Time passed second by second. Mingwei's phone rang once, and the sound of a door opening and closing came from not far away.

In the living room, Pei Ming immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered. Ming Wei stood silently in front of the French windows with a stern face.

"Weiwei... were you waiting for me?" Pei Ming asked tentatively as he walked towards Ming Weiyi.

Ming Wei also turned around, her gaze sharp as she looked at Pei Ming. "What did you do tonight?"

"Xia Wanfeng came to Jiangcheng today, and I had a meal with her."

As Xia Wanfeng said, Pei Ming had to let Ming Weiyi know that he was with her tonight, because she wanted Pei Ming to see how Ming Weiyi would react.

Upon receiving this result that made her extremely angry, Mingwei couldn't hold back any longer.

"Pei Ming! This is Jiangcheng, not C City. If you and your movie queen have any shady relationship, can you please keep a low profile?"

Ming Weiyi's anger was exactly what Pei Ming wanted to see, so he calmly continued to ask, "What's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong with you? Do you know that after Xia Wanfeng went to the company today, everyone in the company is saying that you two must be having an affair? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

This was the first time Ming Weiyi had lost control of her emotions in front of Pei Ming. The way she questioned Pei Ming showed that she was extremely angry.

"Xia Wanfeng and I are completely innocent, you don't need to care what others say."

In the past, Pei Ming would have coaxed Ming Weiyi with kind words, but today he chose to be indifferent.

He just wanted to see what Ming Weiyi would say and do because of Xia Wanfeng's arrival.

Pei Ming's attitude really infuriated Ming Wei. She questioned him again, "Are you innocent? You're innocent, yet you had a secret rendezvous with her the moment you met her?"

"Could you please not put it so harshly? My relationship with her is not a secret rendezvous."

Pei Ming's use of the word "awful" hit Ming Weiyi's sore spot perfectly, and she was really furious with him!

"I'm being mean? Xia Wanfeng is being nice, isn't she? So, have you two been fooling around under the moonlight until now?"

"Are you jealous?" Pei Ming chuckled lightly on purpose.

Pei Ming did not refute Ming Weiyi's question, which meant he tacitly admitted to the "cheating" incident. This made Ming Weiyi even angrier. He even had the nerve to ask her if she was jealous.

"Jealous of you? You're joking! I just hope you and your actress can tone it down a bit. The Ming family still has some face in Jiangcheng!"

Ming Wei gave Pei Ming a final cold laugh before quickly walking away from him.

Pei Ming could tell from Ming Weiyi's every word, every action, and every expression that her anger level was already very high.

However, if he chases after Ming Weiyi now to coax her, then his and Xia Wanfeng's plan will be in vain.

Watching Ming Wei walk upstairs, Pei Ming took out his phone and opened WeChat.

"As you said, my wife knew I was with you tonight, and she got angry and yelled at me."
