Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 33 As the saying goes, it's best to discipline your younger brother early.
It was almost lunchtime, and the hospital's outpatient clinics were about to close, so there was much less traffic around the hospital.

Seeing the blue parking sign ahead, Mingwei slowly drove the vehicle into the hospital's underground parking lot.

Pei Ming didn't open his eyes until Ming Wei found a parking space and parked the car.

Pei Ming's quiet and even breathing made Ming Wei unable to help but stare at him a few more times.

She was very close to Pei Ming now, and she could see his smooth profile, high nose bridge, naturally rosy lips, and thick eyelashes.

It's really unexpected. Pei Ming, who was so thin and pale when he was a child, is now fair-skinned and beautiful. His features look quite like Aunt Lan's.

Using his sixth sense and the unique "vision" of his facial skin, Pei Ming, who was in a light sleep, sensed that someone was watching him. He slowly opened his somewhat tired eyes.

The next second, their eyes met, and the next second, Mingwei hurriedly looked away.

"I...I think you really are asleep, and I was wondering whether I should wake you up..."

Ming Weiyi's heart started racing for no apparent reason, and she hurriedly offered an awkward explanation.

Pei Ming opened his eyes and saw the parking lot. "We're here so quickly."

When Pei Ming was alone with Ming Wei, he truly felt relaxed, but the time he spent relaxing passed by too quickly.

"This is fast? There was a bit of traffic on the way here." Ming Wei also unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door and got out.

The awkward atmosphere inside the car made Ming Wei unable to stay for even a second longer; she really couldn't stand why she had been staring at Pei Ming so intently.

From the way Ming Weiyi spoke just now, Pei Ming could sense that something was slightly off about her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

VIP ward
The ward was filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere. Today, Ming Chengze brought Ouyang Xin to the hospital to visit Ming Hui, and they arrived even earlier than Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming.

"Young people today have good taste, and I feel that my pursuit of art is the right path!"

Ming Chengze grinned broadly, clearly pleased with himself. He had seen many short videos of his paintings over the past few days, and he had read all the comments under each of them.

In today's fast-paced society, busy working people really appreciate Ming Chengze's warm and beautiful style of oil paintings.

"Those girls online have good taste, right? You're both good-looking and talented." Ouyang Xin said, then blinked her big eyes at Ming Chengze.

Ming Chengze deliberately sniffed the air around him, "It's so sour, ugh, what's that smell so sour..."

Yan Jie had seen too many young couples bickering, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.

Ouyang Xin raised her hand and lightly patted Ming Chengze's arm, her eyes filled with laughter, "Get lost!"

"Hey, you still haven't told me. Your brother-in-law signed a contract with you. How much did he pay you?" Yan Jie suddenly remembered this question.

"It's a secret." Ming Chengze smiled smugly.

Yan Jie looked indifferent. "Fine, don't tell me then. I'll always find out eventually."

"Chengze, what are you doing trying to fool your aunt? If your aunt makes a phone call to your brother-in-law, how could he not tell her?"

As soon as Ouyang Xin finished speaking, Pei Ming and Ming Wei appeared side by side at the door of the ward.

In the ward, only Ming Chengze was sitting on Ming Hui's bed with his back to him. He was the first person to see Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming walk to the door of the ward.

"Oh my, what a coincidence today! Look who this is!" The rest of the people in the ward turned their heads to look at Ming Chengze as he spoke, and happy smiles appeared on their faces.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?" Ming Weiyi questioned Ming Chengze as soon as she entered the room.

"Aunt Yan, Uncle Ming..." Pei Ming followed behind Ming Weiyi and greeted Yan Jie and Ming Hui politely.

Ouyang Xin obediently stood up and looked at Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming, "Sister Weiwei, brother-in-law..."

After everyone greeted each other, Ming Chengze looked up at Ming Weiyi with a grin and said, "Do I need to tell you in advance that I'm coming to see my dad? Aren't you being a bit too domineering?"

"I'm just that domineering, are you not happy about it?" Ming Wei said, habitually using her height advantage to grab Ming Chengze by the neck.

"Sis, someone's right here. Can't you be a little more ladylike? You're supposed to be a lady from a respectable family!" Ming Chengze looked at Pei Ming, then at Ming Weiyi.

"As the saying goes, you should discipline your younger brother as early as possible." Pei Ming gave Ming Chengze a look that suggested he was watching a show.

“I also think Chengze deserves to be beaten; he’s gotten a bit cocky these past few days.” Ouyang Xin also had a spectator’s attitude.

“I just asked him a question, and he wouldn’t tell me. You should beat him up.” Yan Jie also joined in urging him to beat him up.

"Look, it's not just me, Xinxin and Mom can't stand you either." Ming Wei also released her grip on Ming Chengze's hand and took two steps forward to the position closest to Ming Hui.

"Weiwei..." Minghui can now call out Ming Weiyi's nickname smoothly.

Mingwei also sat on the edge of the bed and held Minghui's hand. She looked at Minghui softly and said, "Dad, Tang Ying told me that you will be discharged from the hospital soon and you will be able to go home soon."

Minghui nodded. He knew the good news. He raised his eyes slightly to look at Pei Ming, and then slowly raised his left hand to signal Pei Ming to come to the closest position to him.

Upon receiving Minghui's signal, Pei Ming strode forward and stood beside Ming Weiyi.

“Pei…Ming, the company… these… times… have been… bothering…you…”

Minghui finished speaking haltingly and with difficulty, and Pei Ming patiently waited for Minghui to finish.

This time, Yan Jie no longer acted as Minghui's mouth double. It would be great for Minghui to practice his voice in front of his own family.

“Uncle Ming, when you handed the company over to me, it meant that you trusted me and the Pei family. Everything was based on trust.”

Pei Cheng spoke sincerely, and Ming Wei also raised her profile and looked at Pei Ming gently before turning to Ming Hui, "Dad, do you know that even Tang Ying's maternal grandfather said that you had good judgment and knew how to choose people back then?"

Hearing this, Minghui smiled happily. With Ming Weiyi and Ming Chengze's arrival, he clearly felt that his condition had improved.

"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law and Sister Weiwei are already a legally married couple with a marriage certificate, so why does my brother-in-law still call them Uncle and Aunt? Shouldn't he start calling them Mom and Dad?"

Ouyang Xin really wanted to know the answer to this question, so her eyes were filled with curiosity.

This question was a little awkward, and everyone present was silent for a few seconds.

"It's probably because of custom; it's not time to change the way people address each other until the wedding is held," Yan Jie was the first to speak up, explaining this awkward situation.

"But my brother-in-law is used to calling me 'uncle' and 'aunt' every day, and it's easy for him to blurt it out in front of outsiders with ulterior motives."

Ouyang Xin's innocent tone and serious expression made her statement seem very reasonable.
