Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 74 My soul has been completely captivated by Ming Wei.
At noon, the main color of the banquet hall was festive red. From the entrance to every corner of the room, there were bunches of bright flowers, their fragrance filling the air and adding a lot of sweetness to the atmosphere.

As per Ming Weiyi's request, today's engagement banquet appeared very low-key from the outside. Anyone who happened to pass by would never guess that the family hosting the engagement was the renowned Pei family of City C.

Under everyone's gaze, Mingwei was wearing a strawberry pink strapless dress. The upper part of the dress was made of delicate lace flowers, and the flowers at the chest area perfectly outlined the curve of a heart.

The long dress clung tightly to the upper abdomen, elongating the figure and making the waist appear slender. The lining of the skirt only reached above the knee, but the outer tulle skirt reached the ankles, adorned with elaborate lace flowers. Through the skirt, Ming Weiyi's long legs were faintly visible.

This meticulously handcrafted gown, paired with the "Lovebirds" diamond necklace and earrings chosen for her by Tong Ziyan, made Mingwei the most beautiful person there today.

Such radiant beauty made Pei Ming unable to tear his gaze away from Ming Weiyi for even a second; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Pei Ming's soul had been captivated by Ming Weiyi.

"When Weiwei came out of her room all dressed up today, Pei Ming stared at her with wide eyes."

Tong Ziyan stood beside Pei Cheng, whispering something to him. Today, she still had a maternal smile on her face.

Pei Cheng looked Tong Ziyan up and down again, his eyes full of admiration. "I felt the same way when I looked at you. You look really beautiful today."

Today, Tong Ziyan is wearing a champagne-colored halter-neck dress. A circle of diamond embellishments around the collar encircles her slender neck, and the downward curve on both sides of the collar perfectly outlines her fair shoulder blades. The bottom of the skirt is sewn with small diamonds that resemble a starry sky.

"Have you been eating too many sweets lately? How come you're so good at talking?" Hearing Pei Cheng's praise, Tong Ziyan was even happier.

The engagement ceremony was finally completed after going through all the procedures. Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief; her face was practically frozen from smiling all day.

However, she had to admit that when Pei Ming appeared in front of her today wearing a custom-made black suit, she was genuinely impressed by his handsomeness.

The main reason is that Pei Ming had a professional stylist to style him today, making him look more elegant compared to his usual formal attire.

Watching Pei Ming chatting amicably with his family and friends, Ming Wei silently thought to herself: It's a good thing that such a handsome man like Pei Ming is my husband.

Gradually, after rounds of pleasantries, the guests all left.

In the corridor leading to the hotel entrance, Ming Wei walked silently beside Pei Ming. She had finally made it to the point where she could go home and rest.

"The heels on these shoes are so high and thin, my feet and legs are going to be ruined," Ming Wei muttered under her breath. She had been standing the whole time at the engagement party, and her legs were really about to give out.

The corridor was quiet and there was no one else around, so Pei Ming naturally heard what Ming Weiyi said. He subconsciously looked down at the high heels Ming Weiyi was wearing.

"If you're uncomfortable, take off your shoes."

Mingwei quickly shook her head. There were still family members at the hotel entrance; how could she possibly take off her shoes and walk out?

"No way, I'm dressed so beautifully today. If my feet hurt from wearing these shoes, it's definitely my fault, not the shoes. It's because I'm too incompetent."

Since Ming Weiyi refused to take off the shoes that were causing her so much suffering, Pei Ming had no choice but to put his arm around her waist and carry her out of the hotel.

However, Mingwei quickly dodged Pei Ming's offer, asking, "What do you want?"

Pei Ming thought Ming Wei was also resisting his touch, so he explained a little unhappily, "Didn't you say your feet hurt? Since your feet hurt and you wouldn't take off your shoes, I had to carry you to the car." "There must be your family members at the hotel entrance. How could you carry me out like that?" Pei Ming only thought of carrying her to save her from suffering, and Ming Wei naturally said this with a smile.

Ming Wei's words made a lot of sense, and she hadn't been resisting him just now, so Pei Ming wasn't unhappy. "Then just bear with it a little longer. I'll get you into the car as quickly as possible."

"it is good."

At the hotel entrance, Wen Lan's close relatives were still there. In the parking lot not far away, Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan had just seen Tong Ziyan's parents off to their car.

Just as Wenlan was chatting and laughing with her sisters, a little boy of about two years old suddenly ran up to her side and even tugged at Wenlan's skirt in a friendly manner.

Wenlan lowered her head and looked at the little boy. The little boy's fair skin and chubby face made him look very cute.

"Oh my, whose child is this? He's so pretty and cute!" Wenlan bent down and looked at the little boy with a smile. Someone of her age, who should be a grandmother, just loves little kids like this.

"Auntie, it's been a long time!"

Wenlan raised her head and straightened up upon hearing the voice. She remembered the voice and disliked it.

The little boy saw the woman approaching and called out in his childish voice, "Mommy... Mommy..."

"What are you doing here?" Wen Lan asked the person in front of her in a harsh tone.

The little boy in front of her called Xu Ling "Mom." Based on the number of years Xu Ling had been away from City C, Wen Lan carefully examined the little boy's features and already knew whose son he was.

Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan walked hand in hand from the parking lot toward the hotel entrance, just as Pei Ming and Ming Wei also came out of the hotel together.

Upon seeing Xu Ling for the first time, Pei Cheng was somewhat surprised, "Xu Ling, what are you doing here?"

At his second glance, Pei Cheng saw the little boy standing next to Xu Ling, and his little head was immediately filled with great confusion.

Tong Ziyan noticed that Pei Cheng's gaze towards this woman was unusual, and a bad premonition came over her.

Xu Ling did not answer Pei Cheng's question. Instead, she picked up the little boy and looked at Pei Ming, who was walking over.

Just as Xu Ling looked at Pei Ming while holding the child, Ming Wei also thought that today's commotion was aimed at her.

"Today is the auspicious day of Hao Hao's uncle and aunt's engagement. Hao Hao is here to wish them a long and happy marriage."

As soon as Xu Ling said this, everyone present was in an uproar. Wen Lan really wanted Xu Ling and her son to disappear from her sight immediately.

Fortunately, Pei Zhenhua is still in the hotel banquet hall discussing company matters with his family; otherwise, he would have been utterly humiliated today.
