Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 86 You're treating me like a fool
In the morning, a ray of sunlight pierced through the curtains that weren't fully drawn. The person lying in bed stirred a few times, then finally put on a bathrobe and went to the window.

Tong Ziyan gently pulled back the curtains by the French windows, and in her view, she could almost see the entire city.

A brand new day began. Tong Ziyan returned to her bedside and picked up her phone from the bedside table. Her intention was to see if Pei Cheng had called or sent her a WeChat message.

To her surprise, she received dozens of MMS messages from the same number on her phone, and the MMS messages contained images of Pei Cheng holding a child.

The photos look very coherent, and when put together, they could be edited into a short animated video.

This set of photos, showing Xu Ling standing gently to the side while Pei Cheng and the child are intimate, makes it seem to an unsuspecting person that the people in the photos are a warm and sweet family of three.

After looking at the photos, Tong Ziyan sneered. Blood is thicker than water, and the bond between father and son is deep.

Her previously calmed heart was shattered once again. She knew that the unfamiliar number must belong to Xu Ling, and she knew even more that Xu Ling was deliberately provoking her.

However, Tong Ziyan did not intend to pay attention to Xu Ling. She knew that the calmer she was and the less she paid attention to Xu Ling, the more tormented Xu Ling would be.

She sneered inwardly, "Xu Ling, you want me to come to you? How much face do you think you have?"

Tong Ziyan looked at the photos one by one several times, and she already had an idea in her mind.

Since Pei Cheng and his son seem to get along quite well, I should give Pei Cheng a strong dose of medicine.

Jiangcheng, Ming Group

In the morning, the work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the entire planning department was relatively quiet.

The electronic clock on the wall showed that it was 11 a.m., and the workers sitting at their desks were typing away at their computers.

"Excuse me, who is Ms. Ming Weiyi?"

A pleasant male voice came from the doorway of the Planning Department, causing the onlookers in the department to look up.

The man at the door was not only dressed in a suit and tie, but also tall and handsome. Most importantly, he was holding a large gift box in his hands. The gift box was wrapped in pink and tied with a pink lace bow.
This scene surprised Mingwei as well. Who was this? What was going on today?
However, in order not to make things difficult for the deliveryman, Mingwei accepted the gift box amidst everyone's gossipy gazes.

The gift box was a bit heavy, and Mingwei practically carried it to her desk.

"This is much more exquisite than the bouquet of flowers from yesterday, Xiaoming, let's open it and show it to everyone." Whenever there's gossip, Qi Fei is always the first to chime in.

"Take it down, take it down quickly, or I won't be able to continue my class..."

"Me too, hahaha..."

Her colleagues were all incredibly gossipy, so Mingwei had no choice but to go along with them, since she herself was very curious about what was inside the gift box.

Ming Wei gently untied the bow on the gift box, quickly opened the lid, and took out the gift.

A rabbit doll inlaid with hundreds of pink preserved roses was presented to everyone. The rabbit's base was made of gray wood, and a transparent acrylic cover covered the entire rabbit.

The pink rose rabbit is standing upright. Its long ears are very cute, and it has a black heart-shaped bow tied on its chest.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Qi Fei was the first to exclaim in praise.

"I've seen this store before! This rose rabbit is super expensive!"

"The flower delivery guy today has great taste! Xiaoming, choose him!"

Her colleagues chattered amongst themselves, and Mingwei didn't know what to say for a moment. She silently took a card from the gift box. The card was exquisitely decorated and flashy, and Mingwei opened it without any suspicion.

After she read what was written on the card, her head was buzzing.

"And so you go home."

Based on those four words alone, Mingwei didn't even need to guess; this adorable rose rabbit must have been sent by Pei Ming.

Qi Fei, who was closest to Ming Weiyi, also saw these four words, and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"Hey! Xiaoming, you better tell me honestly, who gave you this rose rabbit?"

These four simple words, with no more or less words, perfectly and concisely summarize the relationship between the flower sender and Ming Weiyi, and even the extent to which it has developed.

"He is my marriage partner, and we have already set the wedding date for October." Facing everyone's gossipy gazes, Mingwei also came out the truth.

Since Mingwei said that, it won't be surprising if she comes to the company wearing her wedding ring.

However, Ming Weiyi's colleagues are now shocked. This person who doesn't seem to have a partner at all is getting married!
"I treat you like a sister, and you treat me like a fool, huh? You're getting married and you haven't said a word!" To be honest, Qi Fei was a little angry. Ming Weiyi hadn't even told her about this important life event.

Seeing that Qi Fei was angry, Ming Wei quickly grabbed Qi Fei's arm and said, "Do you believe me if I say that my family arranged a blind date for us last month, and we hit it off and decided to get married?"

"Only last month?" Qi Fei, who had been angry, now looked like she was watching the drama unfold.

“Yes, that’s right.” Ming Wei nodded quickly.

"Then he must be very handsome, right? Otherwise, how could you two have gotten together..." Qi Fei deliberately left her sentence unfinished, but she gave Ming Wei a mischievous look.

When it comes to Pei Ming's looks, Ming Wei is anything but modest, "Of course, otherwise why would I be interested in him?"

Qi Fei's eyes were filled with admiration for Ming Weiyi after her best friend found a handsome and discerning boyfriend. "Great, great...you're amazing!"

Ming's Group President's Office

Du Lian had just received a notification on his phone that the goods had been signed for, and he smiled as he knocked on Pei Ming's office door.

"President Pei, Miss has already signed for the roses you chose." Du Lian couldn't hide his smile; he knew Ming Weiyi would definitely give Pei Ming a good scolding tonight.

"Is she wondering who sent her the flowers?" Pei Ming said, glancing at his phone as he waited for Ming Wei to ask him.

"No," Du Lian replied simply.

Pei Ming was slightly puzzled. "Why?"

"I left a message on the card for you. You'll find out when you get home tonight." Du Lian was quite impressed with himself when he thought about his masterpiece.

What did you write?

Pei Ming asked the question aloud, but in his heart he was thinking: According to Du Lian's idea, when Weiwei sees the card, she will know that the rose rabbit was a gift from me.

"You'll find out tonight, anyway, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Du Lian had said enough, and he quickly slipped out of Pei Ming's office.

Sitting in the armchair, Pei Ming felt like ants were crawling inside him. What on earth did that bastard Du Lian write on the card?
Did he write something really cheesy?
