Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 68 Pei Ming's life is really good.

Summer has arrived, and it was still bright at around 6 p.m. The sun's lingering heat made it hard to open your eyes, especially in the passenger seat area.

After passing through the congested section of road, the remaining journey became smoother as the vehicle approached the Ming family mansion.

"My sister-in-law asked me today whether she should prepare only my room or two rooms when we go back to City C together."

Pei Ming had already made the decision on this matter, but he felt it was still necessary to talk to Ming Weiyi about it, so that Ming Weiyi would have a better understanding when she went to the Pei family.

This was a topic Ming Wei hadn't thought of yet. She tentatively looked at Pei Ming, who was driving, and asked, "So, what did you say to her?"

In Ming Weiyi's mind, she began to think about this problem. Given her current status, if she wanted to reassure the elders of both the Pei and Ming families about her marriage with Pei Ming, the most appropriate thing for her to do when she went to City C was to stay at the Pei family's house.

Pei Ming did not give Ming Weiyi a direct answer. Instead, he deliberately asked her, "How do you want me to answer?"

According to Du Lian, Ming Weiyi had repeatedly tested him, so Pei Ming is now also starting to test Ming Weiyi.

"So, you're asking for my opinion now?" Mingwei genuinely believed that Pei Ming hadn't yet answered Tong Ziyan's question.

"Hmm." Pei Ming responded in agreement, assuming that Ming Weiyi would definitely choose to have Tong Ziyan prepare two rooms.

"The reason your sister-in-law asked that question must be because your family guessed that you and I are not close, so you told your sister-in-law to just prepare your room."

"what?"

Pei Ming even had a slight doubt that he had misheard.

"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Ming Wei noticed something was off from Pei Ming's expression and continued to ask, "You're not going to have your sister-in-law prepare two rooms, are you?"

From Ming Weiyi's words, Pei Ming already knew that Ming Weiyi's decision differed from his own, and he quickly denied it, saying, "I just can't believe that you would be willing to sleep in the same room as me."

"I can guess that when you decided to marry me, your whole family must have been completely dumbfounded. You just said you would get married like that."

Pei Ming nodded subconsciously in agreement, "You're right, they really couldn't believe it at the time."

“I can feel that your family truly considers me a member of the Pei family, and your whole family has been busy with things for us. I am willing to do everything I can to put their minds at ease.”

Upon hearing Ming Weiyi's words, Pei Ming felt a surge of warmth from her. He truly hadn't expected her to consider so many things.

"You've thought of everything, you've considered things and wanted to put their minds at ease."

Compared to Ming Weiyi, Pei Ming only considered his and Ming Weiyi's current situation. He felt that in the Pei family, he and Ming Weiyi only needed to maintain the status quo.

"But! I only said I'd be in the same room with you, I didn't say I'd sleep with you."

Mingwei quickly added that she wasn't ready to speed things up with Pei Ming before they had confirmed their feelings for each other.

"You're planning to make me sleep on the floor?" Pei Ming couldn't help but chuckle as he asked the question.

Actually, he was already very satisfied that Ming Weiyi was willing to share a room with him after returning to the Pei family. He could also accept that Ming Weiyi might not want to sleep in the same bed with him.

"Are you going to sleep on the ceiling or not?" Ming Weiyi said, but then she thought, it wouldn't be right to let Pei Ming actually sleep on the floor, would it? Pei Ming laughed at her words, "If you have a way to let me sleep on the ceiling, I'd really like to try and see what it feels like."

Mingwei laughed along, "That's easy, I'll just tie you up with a rope and hang you up horizontally."

Upon hearing Ming Wei's suggestion, Pei Ming burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha... Don't be ridiculous..."

"Qi Fei said last time that you seemed cold and unpredictable. You should try to smile more like you are now." Ming Wei also thought that Pei Ming looked better when he smiled, seeing how happy he was.

"Do you two often talk badly about me behind my back?" Based on what Qi Fei had said to Du Lian, Pei Ming could easily guess that he must be the person that Ming Weiyi and Qi Fei often discussed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Qi Fei and I are just two cowards, how could we dare to say anything bad about President Pei?" Ming Wei couldn't help but laugh as she said this.

Pei Ming did not respond to Ming Weiyi's answer. He just smiled faintly. He knew that even if Ming Weiyi had said bad things about him, it was just an act with her colleagues at the company.

The gates of the Ming family mansion came into view of Ming Weiyi. It had been some time since she had been back, and she missed the place quite a bit.

In City C, the sun gradually withdrew its brilliance, and the sky's color blurred between gray and white.

Across the street, a tall building rises from the ground, looking magnificent. At the top of the building, the four large characters "Pei's Group" are already lit up.

Across from the tall building stood a woman in a white gauze dress, holding the hand of a child who looked to be about two years old. Amidst the bustling crowd, a gentle breeze ruffled the woman's long black hair.

Following the woman's gaze, I saw her looking up, her eyes fixed on the words "Pei's Group".

"Mommy...Mommy..." The little boy tugged at the woman's hand, and his soft, coquettish voice made the woman quickly look at him.

The woman skillfully picked up the little boy and gently coaxed him, saying, "Baby, in two days you'll see your dad."

"Dad...Dad..."

In a child's mind, he may not understand what his father means at all; he is just cutely repeating what the woman says.

The woman smiled knowingly at the thought of seeing the Pei family soon. After three years away from City C, she was finally back.

At the Pei family home, it was dinnertime, and a table was laden with fragrant dishes. Judging from the tableware, all four members of the family were present tonight.

"How are the arrangements for Pei Ming's engagement banquet going?" Pei Zhenhua asked, casually taking his seat at the head of the table.

"As Pei Ming and Weiwei wished, only close relatives and friends were invited. Now everything is ready, and we are just waiting for them to return to City C." Wen Lan also took her seat, sitting to Pei Zhenhua's left.

"Dad, I've prepared five dresses in different styles for Weiwei and Pei Ming, according to their measurements. I'm planning to give Weiwei a surprise the night after tomorrow." Tong Ziyan was already sitting next to Pei Cheng, her voice gentle and smiling.

Pei Cheng was quite satisfied with Wen Lan and Tong Ziyan's arrangements. He deliberately said sourly, "Pei Ming is really lucky. He has a biased father, a worried mother, and a kind sister-in-law."

Seeing Pei Cheng's feigned jealousy, Tong Ziyan laughed and continued to stab him in the back: "Haha...he clearly has a trustworthy older brother."

Seeing this, Wenlan quickly added, "And he also has a lovely wife."
