Chapter 19 Late at Night, a Lonely Man and a Lonely Woman
"Were we too noisy and disturbed your rest?" Ming Weiyi suddenly stopped being fierce, and her tone became gentle.

When facing Pei Ming, Ming Wei still had to maintain the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.

"No." Pei Ming shook his head.

"So you're standing here, just waiting to watch the show?" Ming Chengze had just seen Pei Ming's eyes, which were clearly those of someone watching a show.

"I just think it's kind of cute when you two are bickering." Pei Ming was speaking from the heart. He felt that Ming Weiyi was most authentic when she was with Ming Chengze.

And this most authentic Ming Weiyi seems to be the most interesting. Pei Ming is quite looking forward to when Ming Weiyi can show her most authentic side to him.

Ming Weiyi immediately thought of what Ming Chengze had just said. Moreover, Ming Chengze had spoken quite loudly to her, so Pei Ming would definitely have heard it. He would most likely think that Ming Chengze didn't welcome him and had even thrown a tantrum.

So Mingwei quickly looked at Pei Ming and explained, "Don't take what Chengze just said to heart. He really didn't mean it that way. He was just being cheeky."

Ming Chengze understood that it was not good that Pei Ming had heard what he had just said, so the best course of action was to leave.

"I won't hold these things against you today. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."

"Get lost!" Ming Wei also habitually and skillfully raised her foot and kicked Ming Chengze.

Watching Ming Chengze walk to the other end of the third floor, Pei Ming leisurely walked towards Ming Weiyi.

He stopped when he was about ten centimeters away from Ming Wei.

When Pei Ming suddenly walked towards her, Ming Weiyi's heart skipped a beat.

It's late at night, and there's a lone man and woman outside my bedroom door... Oh my god...

“No matter what Chengze says to me, I won’t care or take it to heart. I know he’s just worried about you because he cares about you as his older sister.”

Pei Ming spoke softly and gently, like a warm spring breeze, and Ming Weiyi immediately felt less nervous.

"It's also my fault. I didn't tell him about your trip to the company or about us getting our marriage certificate. He was very angry when he found out."

Pei Ming looked puzzled. "You didn't tell him about these two big things? He's your own brother. You're only being nice by now."

"So he blew it up..." Ming Wei sighed helplessly.

Pei Ming couldn't help but smile at Ming Weiyi's appearance. "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back to our rooms and go to sleep."

"Well, go to sleep."

Today was really tiring. After closing the door, Mingwei walked listlessly to the bed and lay down.

Suddenly, she remembered the gift Wenlan had given her earlier that day, and she sat up abruptly in bed.

In the dressing room, the dark blue gift box remained unopened, but Mingwei eagerly unpacked it.

Suddenly, Mingwei felt that everything in front of her was sparkling and bright.

In her view, lying inside the gift box was a diamond necklace that looked like two large branches connected together. The roots and veins of the branches were made of relatively large diamonds, while the leaf parts were covered with small diamonds. The shape of the two large branches looked as if they were being blown by the wind.

On either side of the necklace are a pair of earrings that look like budding leaves, each set with diamonds, and below each leaf hangs a teardrop-shaped diamond.

Besides the jewelry set, there was also a bank card and a handwritten card next to it. "Weiwei, this is a gift that your Uncle Pei and I prepared for you. We hope you like it! We sincerely wish you and Pei Ming a happy marriage."

Mingwei also picked up the bank card and looked at it. She found that there was a six-digit password on the back of the bank card, and below the password was a line of small print: the password is Pei Ming's birthday.

After all this, Ming Weiyi had figured out Pei Ming's birthday.

The expensive high-end jewelry and bank card in front of her made Mingwei feel from the bottom of her heart that she didn't have the confidence to accept this gift. She had just become the daughter-in-law of the Pei family in a daze.

In the early morning, a gentle breeze rustled my dress, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

With the arrival of Pei Ming, a distinguished guest, at the Ming family's restaurant this morning, the breakfast menu on the table has become much more diverse.

“Pei Ming, our Ming family has a large duplex apartment in Linjiang District of Jiangcheng that you can move into right away. I will complete the transfer of ownership in the next couple of days and give the apartment to you as your wedding home with Weiwei.”

Upon hearing Yan Jie's words, Pei Ming and Ming Wei both stopped eating their breakfast.

“Aunt Yan, there’s no need for you to give these things to me. Weiwei and I are legally married now, so these things can be given to Weiwei.”

The phrase "move in immediately" was particularly appealing to Pei Ming, because even if he immediately bought property in Jiangcheng, he couldn't guarantee that Ming Wei would be able to move in right away.

"Alright then, it will be your joint property as husband and wife. I've already arranged for someone to tidy up the room and buy household items. Pei Ming, you can move in in a couple of days." After Yan Jie finished speaking, she looked at Pei Ming.

Pei Ming nodded politely, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Yan."

"Weiwei, you should move over too." Yan Jie fixed her gaze on Ming Weiyi.

"Ah?" Ming Wei also exclaimed reflexively, her face filled with horror.

Similarly, Pei Ming was also taken aback by Yan Jie's words.

“Now that your father is sick, I have to go to the hospital to keep him company every day. Chengze will also be leaving next month, and there will be no one to look after you regularly. I’m worried about you living alone outside.” Yan Jie’s tone and eyes were exceptionally serious, leaving no room for negotiation.

“Mom…you’re my mom…don’t you think this is a bit too fast?” Ming Wei protested in front of Pei Ming.

"The old foxes on the board all acknowledge that Pei Ming and you are a couple, but after a private investigation, they found out that you two live separately. What are you trying to do?" Yan Jie's sharp gaze made it even harder for Ming Wei to refuse.

"Okay." Yan Jie's words made sense, which made Ming Wei give up resisting.

"Besides, Pei Ming's MBA isn't just for show. You two live under the same roof, and you have Pei Ming as a free teacher who can teach you every day."

"As long as Weiwei is willing to learn, I will do my best to teach her well."

The thought of soon living under the same roof with Ming Weiyi and spending every day together filled Pei Ming with immense joy.

At this moment, the person he was most grateful to was Yan Jie. Without Yan Jie's concern for the two of them, he wouldn't have been able to so smoothly accelerate the pace of developing his relationship with Ming Weiyi.

The dining table fell silent again for no apparent reason, but this silence lasted for less than a minute.

"Sis, I'll drive you to work today!"

Before anyone saw him, they heard his voice; everyone sitting at the table knew that Ming Chengze had arrived.
