Chapter 82 Shall we sleep together later?
As night fell, the plane landed smoothly on the airport runway, returning to the city, and a strong sense of familiarity washed over me.

The ring road was clear at night. After passing through brightly lit high-rise buildings, Pei Ming and Ming Wei's car finally arrived at the underground parking lot.

"Du Lian, we've known each other for so long, but I still don't have your contact information."

Before the car came to a complete stop, Ming Wei suddenly blurted out this sentence. Her thinking was actually very simple: as Pei Ming's special assistant, Du Lian might need her help in the future.

"Miss, you're asking for my contact information, not so you can check up on me later, are you?" Du Lian had already parked the car, and as he said this, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"What are you talking about! I just thought I might need your help in the future." Mingwei was also speechless. How could Du Lian be so prone to overthinking!

"It would be good if you could exchange contact information." Pei Ming felt that Ming Weiyi's words made some sense.

Du Lian is someone who follows Pei Ming around all day. Ming Wei is also Pei Ming's wife. If Pei Ming has something important to do at work that makes it difficult for Ming Wei to find him, she can ask Du Lian for help.

With Pei Ming's consent, Du Lian took out his phone and opened WeChat. In no time, Du Lian and Ming Weiyi added each other as friends, and Du Lian even sent his phone number to Ming Weiyi.

Two days later, Mingwei and Pei Ming returned to the home that they were already very familiar with.

The moment Mingwei stepped into her home, all she wanted to do was lie down on her soft, fragrant bed. The past two days had been so hectic and exhausting.

"I'll carry your luggage upstairs for you," Pei Ming said, picking up Ming Weiyi's suitcase and heading up to the second floor.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Ming Wei didn't refuse and followed Pei Ming up to the second floor.

A month ago, when Pei Ming reached the second floor, Ming Weiyi would have stopped him there. But today, Ming Weiyi calmly let Pei Ming push his suitcase into her room.

Pei Ming had been living in this house for several days, and this was the first time he had actually stepped into Ming Weiyi's boudoir. He unconsciously glanced around casually.

"I'll leave your things here. Get some rest," Pei Ming said, placing the suitcase in Ming Weiyi's walk-in closet.

He could see the fatigue on Ming Weiyi's face, so he chose to leave her room so that she could go to sleep earlier.

"Pei Ming...wait a minute!"

Just as Pei Ming turned to leave, Ming Wei called out to him urgently from behind.

"What, you called me back because you want me to stay here and we can sleep together later?" Pei Ming looked at Ming Weiyi again, a wicked smile on his lips.

"What are you thinking!" Ming Wei exclaimed anxiously, her face turning bright red.

Seeing Ming Weiyi's face flushed red with embarrassment, Pei Ming couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha... I was just teasing you."

"I called you over because I wanted to tell you to contact President Meng and ask when she'd be free so we can treat her to a meal."

To calm herself down, Mingwei quickly came up with a reason for calling out to Pei Ming earlier.

Actually, she called out to Pei Ming just now purely out of instinct. She just wanted to talk to Pei Ming a few more times. She never expected Pei Ming to ask such a direct question.

Unexpectedly, Ming Weiyi still remembered this matter. Pei Ming nodded, "Okay, I'll have Du Lian contact Manxian's side tomorrow."

"Okay, then you should get some rest too. Goodnight." Ming Wei waved gently to Pei Ming.

Only when Pei Ming left her room could Ming Wei's wildly beating heart finally calm down.

This time, Pei Ming truly left Ming Weiyi's room, and he even closed the door behind him. (City C)

The river was surging, and the wind along the riverbank was strong, tousling the hair of passersby. High-rise buildings lined both banks of the river, their brilliant lights illuminating the city's night sky.

Standing under the bright lights, with the night breeze blowing from the river, Pei Cheng leaned against his car, feeling somewhat irritated.

"President Pei, we have done our best, but we still can't find any trace of Madam."

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of Pei Cheng's assistant. Judging from the assistant's trembling tone, he was quite worried that Pei Cheng would get angry.

Hearing that his assistant hadn't found Tong Ziyan, Pei Cheng was indeed a little unhappy. "Keep looking tomorrow. Even if you have to turn C City upside down, you have to find her for me."

"Mr. Pei, could it be... could it be that Madam is no longer in City C?"

The assistant's words served as a reminder to Pei Cheng that Tong Ziyan was capable and wealthy, so it was quite possible that she would go out for a walk to clear her head.

Before Pei Cheng could continue speaking, the assistant added, "Today I asked one of Madam's close students about her schedule, and it's said that Madam will be in Jiangcheng next weekend."

"Jiangcheng? Next weekend?"

"Yes, Jiangcheng has invited your orchestra to perform. If we really can't reach you in the next few days, perhaps you could..."

"Are you telling me to wait until next week? Are you sure?" Judging from Pei Cheng's tone, he was about to explode.

Pei Cheng's words were very authoritative to the assistant, so the assistant quickly changed his tune, "Mr. Pei! I will do my best to find Madam these next two days!"

"it is good."

After saying that, Pei Cheng hung up the phone. Immediately afterwards, he opened WeChat and sent a message to Pei Ming.

"If your sister-in-law goes to Jiangcheng in the next couple of days, tell me immediately."

Pei Cheng pondered to himself that if Tong Ziyan was no longer in City C, she would likely go to Jiangcheng to relax before attending the performance there.

In Pei Ming's room, he had already finished showering and was sitting on the bed when he received a message from Pei Cheng. Pei Ming simply replied with a single word.

"it is good."

Judging from this message alone, Pei Ming guessed that Pei Cheng probably hadn't seen Tong Ziyan today. He couldn't help but think to himself: This useless guy, it's been two days and he still hasn't managed to coax his wife home. What else is he but a good-for-nothing?
After complaining about Pei Cheng, before going to sleep, Pei Ming's mind began to conjure up images of him and Ming Weiyi sharing a bed over the past two days. Pei Ming's eyes also caught sight of the sketchbook placed on the bedside table.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Ming picked up the picture book and flipped through it again. Ming Weiyi's lovely smiling face appeared before his eyes once more.

Upstairs in the master bedroom on the first floor, Ming Wei lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her body was exhausted, but her mind was unusually clear.

Mingwei's mind was filled with images of Pei Ming sleeping beside her these past two days. Pei Ming's body temperature, his breathing, and his warm embrace made her miss him terribly in the dead of night.

If I had known Pei Ming said he wanted to sleep together, I wouldn't have objected!

So why did I react so strongly back then? Why did I want Pei Ming to think that I was unwilling?
Sigh... Forget it! I'll just have to be reserved. I'll wait for Pei Ming to take the initiative and ask to sleep with me...
