Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 106 I really want to curse myself for being brain-damaged

Stepping out of the dressing room, Mingwei felt a tightness in her chest, as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife, and she felt a sharp pain.

It was at this moment that she realized that liking someone could cause not only a racing heart, but also heart pain.

Moreover, upon learning from Xia Wanfeng that she and Pei Ming were childhood sweethearts, Ming Wei couldn't help but ask herself, "Then what am I?"
In the dressing room, as soon as Ming Weiyi left, Xia Wanfeng quickly moved far away from Pei Ming. She even opened the door a crack to see if Ming Weiyi had left yet.

"Pei Ming, did you see that? Your wife's face was so dark just now. She's definitely jealous!"

As soon as Xia Wanfeng finished speaking, her agent and assistant were all dumbfounded. They thought they had already gotten a big piece of gossip, but they didn't expect there to be an even more exciting piece of gossip.

Pei Ming couldn't help but praise Xia Wanfeng, "You truly deserve to be an award-winning actress. If I didn't know you were acting, I would have believed you."

The agent and assistant standing to the side were once again dumbfounded. What was going on?

"I'm serious about acting, otherwise, wouldn't I have won the Best Actress award for nothing?"

"You're amazing. I'm just worried that when I get home tonight, I might not even be able to get in the door."

Pei Ming had seen the look on Ming Wei's face when she slammed the door and left, and he was already starting to worry about what to do that night.

Recalling Ming Weiyi's series of reactions just now, Xia Wanfeng had already analyzed the answer for Pei Ming.

"From the moment you walked through this door, your wife disliked you. She's just unhappy that you came to see me. Why is that?"

Without a second thought, the assistant said, "It's because she's jealous. If a woman is unhappy that a man is seeing another woman, there's only one possibility: she likes that man."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right!" Xia Wanfeng gave her assistant a thumbs up in satisfaction.

"So, that person just now was President Pei's wife, the heiress of the Ming Group, and our real client this time?"

The agent realized the relationships involved and quickly thought about whether she had offended Ming Weiyi in any way.

Xia Wanfeng nodded indifferently, "Yeah."

The agent was speechless; Xia Wanfeng was too capricious, even daring to act like the client.

"Pei Ming, my assistant has been so blunt, you still don't understand what your wife means to you?"

Xia Wanfeng steered the conversation back to Pei Ming, ignoring her manager's concerns, since she believed Pei Ming could handle his wife.

"Do you even need to look? I could feel the anger of President Pei's wife when she slammed the door and left. I thought she was a young lady from the Ming Group who had a crush on President Pei."

The assistant enthusiastically rattled off a whole bunch of stories, explaining that no girl doesn't love gossiping about love entanglements.

"Xia Wanfeng, give your assistant an early year-end bonus. I'll pay for it."

Pei Ming was deeply moved by his assistant's words, and he happily left the dressing room after saying them.

The assistant was overjoyed at the prospect of receiving a large sum of money. She exclaimed enviously, "This CEO Pei really loves his wife."

Xia Wanfeng smiled and said, "Just kidding. His wife is the only white moonlight he's had in the past twenty years."

The press conference venue was packed with people, and many fans had already held up Xia Wanfeng's exclusive support signs, as it was getting closer and closer to six o'clock.

"Hey, Xiaoming, how's the process going with you and Xia Wanfeng?"

Qi Fei, who was in charge of managing the situation, grabbed Ming Weiyi's arm with the agenda. With Qi Fei holding her back, Ming Weiyi forced herself to return to work. "It's alright, she and her agent are quite cooperative."

"That's good. I hope everything goes smoothly today so we can leave early." Qi Fei turned her neck; she was really tired after working an extra day on Saturday.

"Thank you for your hard work today. President Pei said that those in the planning department who came to work overtime today will receive triple pay."

Du Lian suddenly appeared behind Qi Fei again, and then he suddenly uttered those words.

"Why are you here?" Qi Fei was somewhat surprised by Du Lian's arrival.

Du Lian stood beside Qi Fei and casually replied, "Because President Pei is here."

"Where is he?" Qi Fei looked left and right, gossiping about whether Pei Ming had come specifically to see his female celebrity.

"He said there were too many people at the event and he didn't like it; he just wanted to know that the event had ended smoothly."

After Du Lian finished speaking, he glanced at Ming Weiyi. Pei Ming had just personally instructed him to come to the event to keep an eye on Ming Weiyi's movements.

Upon hearing Du Lian say that Pei Ming wouldn't be coming to the event, Qi Fei casually asked, "Oh, isn't President Pei going to come and see his rumored female celebrity?"

Du Lian felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. "Shut up."

Qi Fei didn't understand what Du Lian meant by telling her to shut up. She finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "What do you mean! Why do you always tell me to shut up?"

"I've already told you, there's nothing between President Pei and Xia Wanfeng, so don't talk nonsense!"

Du Lian's words seemed to be an explanation to Qi Fei, but in reality, he was speaking well of Pei Ming in front of Ming Weiyi.

"Both of you shut up!" Ming Wei really didn't want to hear about Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng anymore; she was already at her breaking point.

If Mingwei hadn't witnessed the dramatic scene unfolding in the dressing room, she would have believed Du Lian's words. But now, no matter what Du Lian said, she wouldn't believe him anymore.

"Xiaoming, what's wrong with you?" From Ming Weiyi's angry words just now, Qi Fei sensed that something was wrong with Ming Weiyi.

Du Lian glanced at Qi Fei, sighed inwardly, and muttered, "You're still asking her what's wrong? Her temper isn't because of your mouth!"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired today." Ming Wei also calmed herself down, but her complexion looked terrible.

"Xiao Ming, why don't you go sit down and rest for a bit?" Du Lian could tell from Ming Weiyi's expression that she wasn't feeling well.

Qi Fei noticed that Ming Weiyi's lips were a little pale, so she quickly instructed Du Lian, "Du Lian, take Xiaoming to sit over there for a while. I'll go buy Xiaoming some food and drinks."

Mingwei didn't want to stand there awkwardly backstage, so she followed Du Lian to the mall's rest area.

Seeing Ming Weiyi sit down, Du Lian also thought that Ming Weiyi's complexion was not good, probably because she hadn't eaten and was about to have low blood sugar.

"Are you alright? Did you skip lunch?"

Mingwei knew she looked terrible. She looked up at Du Lian and said, "Would you believe me if I told you I was angry?"

Mingwei was fine if she hadn't looked up, but when she did, she saw Xia Wanfeng's support message on the huge poster: "Love rises with the wind."

She really wanted to curse herself for being brain-damaged. Why did she have to choose this particular line from the fans' support messages? Using it between Pei Ming and Xia Wanfeng was truly brilliant!
