Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 111 They're all romantics, all single-minded!

The doorbell rang, and about a minute later, Aunt Luo walked into the house with a woman.

The woman was wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts, along with a baseball cap, a black face mask, and sunglasses.

"Weiwei, this beautiful woman says she is your friend."

As soon as Aunt Luo finished speaking, Xia Wanfeng took off her gear. "I was planning to invite you two to lunch together, but you two are only having breakfast now?"

Mingwei was also a little stunned. Why was Xia Wanfeng at home, and why did she speak without any sense of boundaries?

Aunt Luo, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Wasn't this the big star Xia Wanfeng? Fortunately, Aunt Luo was worldly-wise, and she quickly walked away.

"Why are you here?" Xia Wanfeng's arrival was both unexpected and expected by Pei Ming.

"I'm here to see your wife." Xia Wanfeng looked at Ming Weiyi with a casual smile.

When Xia Wanfeng saw her, she wasn't surprised. Ming Wei immediately understood; it turned out that Xia Wanfeng knew her identity yesterday.

"You came to see me?" Ming Wei also stood up from the dining table. She didn't expect Xia Wanfeng to come to her door.

"Yes, I'd like to talk to you."

"What to talk about?"

Ming Wei also walked out of the restaurant. She calmly looked at Xia Wanfeng. Based on what happened yesterday, she felt that Xia Wanfeng had come to provoke her.

Xia Wanfeng glanced at Pei Ming, "I hope you can leave for a moment."

"Why should I avoid it?" Pei Ming also got up and walked out of the restaurant.

"Get out of your study!" Ming Wei pointed towards Pei Ming's room, and her words left Pei Ming no room to refuse.

Faced with Ming Weiyi's anger, Pei Ming didn't dare to confront her directly at this moment, so he had no choice but to back down.

"Hahaha...I'm dying of laughter..."

As Pei Ming's good friend for so many years, Xia Wanfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Pei Ming's cowardly silence.

Ming Wei didn't let Xia Wanfeng off the hook either. With a cold face, she asked Xia Wanfeng, "Is it funny?"

Xia Wanfeng realized that Pei Ming hadn't won over Ming Weiyi at all, and she sighed inwardly.

Out of courtesy, Ming Wei invited Xia Wanfeng to sit on the sofa. She wanted to hear what Xia Wanfeng would have to say to her today.

"Do you know that for so many years, Pei Ming has always kept someone in his heart? In order to stand by her side, Pei Ming has worked hard to become a better and more outstanding person."

Xia Wanfeng got straight to the point; she didn't like beating around the bush.

"You're not trying to tell me that you were that person, are you?" Ming Wei smiled and raised an eyebrow, trying her best to remain calm.

Xia Wanfeng was amused by Ming Weiyi's question, "The person I'm talking about is you!"

"Me? Are you sure?" Ming Wei was also stunned for a moment; she couldn't quite understand what Xia Wanfeng was saying.

"I am absolutely certain."

Mingwei also didn't know what to say at this moment, and she couldn't figure out Xia Wanfeng's intentions for coming today.

Seeing that Ming Wei also remained silent, Xia Wanfeng spoke again.

“When Pei Ming was in school, he was quite thin and a bit withdrawn. He worked really hard so that he could appear in front of you in the best possible way. He demanded that he be perfect in terms of physical fitness, knowledge, ability, and personality.”

"Is it really that bad?" Ming Wei was also a little incredulous. It turned out that Pei Ming's great change was all due to his hard work.

"How could it not be? You, the eldest daughter of the Ming family, have been too dazzling since childhood. He is worried that if he is not good enough, you will not even look at him."

"But I didn't have much interaction with him before, did I?"

Xia Wanfeng smiled again. "He said that when he was little, others always bullied him and didn't like to play with him, but only you, my little sun, would play with him every day, care about his thoughts, and not let others bully him." "That was only for a few days?" Ming Wei thought for a moment. She was not even ten years old at that time, and she only stayed at the Pei family for a few days.

"You were once a ray of light that shone into his heart, and even if it was only for a short time, he will cherish that light forever."

Xia Wanfeng's words were both literary and straightforward, and they struck Ming Weiyi's heart with ease.

"Then... what exactly is going on between you and him?" Today's events have unfolded differently than Ming Weiyi had anticipated, leaving her completely bewildered.

"It's an act, you've forgotten I'm an actor?"

"what?"

"It's just that Pei Ming isn't confident in you. I figured since we're already here, we might as well put on a show for him, just to provoke you a bit," Xia Wanfeng said, her smile gradually turning into one of schadenfreude.

"You two teamed up to mess with me?"

Mingwei pretended to have an expression that said it was really outrageous, but in fact she was happy with the result.

"It's because Pei Ming is too timid in front of you, so I'm here to be the catalyst for the two of you." Xia Wanfeng smiled smugly, feeling that she had now achieved her goal.

"And what's the deal with the trending topics?"

"I bought it. Don't you think that if it were posted by a paparazzi, would they have blurred Pei Ming's face?"

Ming Wei then realized that she had become mentally impaired from being so angry these past two days.

"But...won't this kind of scandalous news affect you?"

"It doesn't matter, it'll just help me avoid unwanted romantic advances in the capital."

"You've known Pei Ming for many years, haven't you? You know him so well, could it be that..." Even after Xia Wanfeng said so much, Ming Weiyi still couldn't help but speculate about her past with Pei Ming.

Xia Wanfeng waved her hands dismissively, "Stop it. I've never been interested in Pei Ming. The person I've always liked is his brother, Pei Cheng."

"Huh?" Ming Wei was completely bewildered again.

“My brother and Pei Cheng were high school classmates and best friends. I met Pei Cheng because of my brother. He is just like a manga protagonist. I fell in love with him at first sight.”

“Continue…” When it came time to watch the drama unfold, Ming Wei’s pupils dilated.

“It just so happens that Pei Ming was in the same class as me in middle school. I know he is Pei Cheng’s younger brother. I deliberately approached him and became friends with him, with the aim of getting close to Pei Cheng through him.”

"and then?"

"Although I took advantage of Pei Ming, I felt a little guilty and considered him a true friend. He was also smart and knew what I was thinking. He always complained about me while helping me at the same time."

Looking back on those days, Xia Wanfeng felt that they were both interesting and wonderful.

Mingwei was also somewhat incredulous, "With Pei Ming's help, you still couldn't handle Pei Cheng?"

Xia Wanfeng sighed deeply, "The most hurtful sentence in the world is, 'I only see you as a younger sister.'"

She summarized the ending of that year in a simple sentence. She was unwilling, but she also understood that Pei Cheng was someone she could never force to leave.

"So you've let go of Pei Cheng now, haven't you?"

Xia Wanfeng calmly shook her head. "No, otherwise why would I be drinking with Pei Ming by the river to drown my sorrows? Only he knows the depth of my tormented love."

"You and Pei Ming are truly good friends of many years!"

Ming Wei finally understood why Xia Wanfeng and Pei Ming had such a good relationship, and why it was a pure friendship between a man and a woman.

"how?"

"They're all romantics! And all single-minded!"
