Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 83 indicates interest in someone.
Monday, a busy day is about to begin.

In the early morning, before the city had fully awakened, the branches of trees on both sides of the street swayed in the breeze, and pedestrians walked briskly toward the subway station not far away.

Facing the sunlight, the vehicles traveling in Dulian were about to drive onto the main road.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared to his right front, so he slowly moved the car closer to the right and opened the window.

"Qi Fei!"

Hearing someone call her name, Qi Fei looked to her left in confusion and saw Du Lian sitting in the car looking at her.

Du Lian noticed that Qi Fei had stopped and was looking at him. He called out loudly out the car window, "Are you going to the company? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Is this convenient for you? And this isn't really appropriate..." Qi Fei knew without a doubt that this luxury car must be the one Du Lian used to drive Pei Ming every day, and it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to sit in it.

"Stop talking nonsense, we can't stay here for too long, get in the car quickly." Du Liancai was too lazy to waste time with Qi Fei. It was just giving Qi Fei a ride along the way, what was the big deal?
With Du Lian's words, Qi Fei could no longer refuse him, so she quickly opened the back door and got in.

"Didn't you say you weren't staying here? Why were you here this morning?" Du Lian asked Qi Fei as soon as she got into the car and closed the door.

“My little niece insisted that I sleep with her yesterday, and it’s quite convenient to take the subway from my cousin’s house to the company, so I stayed.”

"That little girl is so close to you, isn't she your niece?" The image of the adorable little niece immediately popped into Du Lian's mind.

“My cousin and I are both only children, so our relationship has been like that of biological parents since we were little. Therefore, his daughter is also my niece.”

Qi Fei wasn't on guard against Du Lian at all; she answered whatever Du Lian asked.

"Such a harmonious sibling relationship is wonderful."

"By the way, why weren't you with President Pei this morning?" Qi Fei was quite curious; Du Lian had actually offered her a ride to the company so early in the morning.

“Last night I picked up President Pei and his wife from the airport and took them home. He told me to rest a little longer this morning and that he would go to the company by himself.”

Similarly, Du Lian answered all the questions Qi Fei asked him.

"According to you, President Pei is a really nice person."

"What, do you guys think he's bad behind his back?" Du Lian glanced at Qi Fei's reaction through the rearview mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"How could that be! You absolutely can't say things like that!" Qi Fei quickly denied what Du Lian said. Last time, Pei Ming had helped her with a casual remark, so how could she think Pei Ming was bad?

Seeing Qi Fei's nervous expression in the rearview mirror, Du Lian's smile widened. "Don't worry, I never say anything carelessly in front of President Pei."

"Can I add you on WeChat later? I can ask you questions later if there's anything I need."

If we add Du Lian on WeChat, the company can ask him about any decisions the planning department makes.

"You can add me on WeChat, but there are some things you shouldn't ask me." Du Lian knew that Qi Fei was a gossip, and she only wanted to add him on WeChat because she wanted to know more.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Du Lian agreed to add her on WeChat later, which satisfied Qi Fei.

Qi Fei didn't expect Du Lian to tell her any company secrets; she simply wanted to inquire about work-related matters later.

More than half of the workday has passed, and the entire Planning Department is now very quiet.

The weekend, which should have been a time for relaxation, turned out to be very busy. In addition, Mingwei had insomnia last night, so she was completely out of sorts today.

In the afternoon, a strong sense of drowsiness kept creeping into Ming Weiyi's mind. She vowed that she would not let her mind wander tonight and would definitely go to bed early! "Which one of you is Ming Weiyi, Miss Ming?"

While she was feeling drowsy, Mingwei heard someone calling her name. She finally perked up a bit and looked towards the entrance of the Planning Department.

“I…I am…” Ming Wei also stood up and looked towards the door.

Not only Ming Weiyi, but everyone in the Planning Department also started looking towards the door at this moment.

A food delivery guy was standing at the door, holding a bouquet of brightly colored orange roses.

This finally woke Ming Weiyi up from her drowsiness. She took the roses from the delivery guy's hand with a bewildered look on her face.

"Hey Ming, tell me, who gave you these roses? They're quite pretty." Qi Fei was the first to walk up to Ming Weiyi and start gossiping.

Other colleagues in the Planning Department were also caught up in the gossip.

"Orange roses represent passion and appreciation, indicating interest in someone." One of the colleagues quickly looked up the meaning of orange roses on Baidu.

Mingwei also picked up the card on the bouquet and glanced at it. It read: You look so beautiful when you smile.

Similarly, Qi Fei also saw the words on the card, and her gossip-loving heart was already burning brightly. "Who is it?! Who is interested in our Xiaoming?"

"I really don't know anything right now..."

Ming Wei was completely bewildered. The only thing she could think of was whether Pei Ming had sent the flowers.
Yesterday he thought someone in the sales department was interested in me, and now he's sending me this bouquet of flowers. Is he trying to make me admit to everyone that I have a boyfriend?

However, Pei Ming wouldn't leave such an old-fashioned sentence on a card, would he?
With these questions in mind, Mingwei also took a picture of the roses. She needed to ask Pei Ming if he had given her this bouquet of roses, so she would know how to answer Qi Fei's question.

Ming Weiyi did indeed seem quite bewildered, so Qi Fei didn't press her for more details. After all, given Ming Weiyi's looks, she had received quite a few flowers from people over the past two years.

After everyone's excitement about the bouquet of flowers subsided, Ming Wei took out her phone and opened Pei Ming's chat window.

She first sent Pei Ming a picture of roses, and then she sent a WeChat message.

Did you send me this bouquet of roses?

In the president's office, there were many things to handle on Monday, and Pei Ming was giving Du Lian some instructions.

The ringing of his phone interrupted Pei Ming's conversation. He picked up his phone, glanced at the WeChat messages, and the next second, with a dark expression, he slammed the phone in front of Du Lian.

"Go and find out who sent this bouquet of roses to my wife. Was it someone from the sales department?"

If it's just that sales department, that's fine. Pei Ming doesn't want anyone else to have any ulterior motives towards Ming Weiyi.

Du Lian picked up Pei Ming's phone and looked at it. "What's the point of investigating? Miss Pei is so beautiful. Even if you investigate Zhang San, there will be Li Si. You have to solve the problem at its root."

Pei Ming took the phone from Du Lian and asked, "How do we solve this? She won't admit her identity now."

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't acknowledge her identity, as long as the people in the company know that she's taken, you can leave it to me."

Pei Ming was quite confident in Du Lian's abilities. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
