Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 87 As long as you like it

In the afternoon, a rain fell, and the Pei family's residence was shrouded in a misty rain.

Upon learning that Tong Ziyan had returned home, Pei Cheng rushed home from the company. He missed Tong Ziyan very much after not seeing her for several days.

Pei Cheng hurriedly opened the door to the master bedroom on the second floor, and he saw Tong Ziyan sitting on the sofa.

"Ziyan, you're finally willing to come back!" Pei Cheng walked happily towards Tong Ziyan and sat down right next to her.

Tong Ziyan didn't give Pei Cheng a kind look at all. She took a document out of her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

"This is the divorce agreement. Take a good look at it, and sign it if there are no problems."

The word "divorce" was like a bolt from the blue for Pei Cheng. He couldn't understand why Tong Ziyan would bring up divorce.

"I will absolutely not divorce you!" Pei Cheng said, then picked up the prenuptial agreement from the coffee table and threw it into the trash can.

Tong Ziyan was somewhat satisfied with Pei Cheng's attitude, but she remained indifferent, saying, "Go ahead and throw it away. I can print another copy for you."

"Didn't we agree that I would resolve Xu Ling and the child's issues, and then we would continue our lives?" It wasn't until Tong Ziyan brought up the divorce that Pei Cheng started to panic.

“You two were a couple to begin with, and now that you have a child, you two are more suited to live together as a family, aren’t you?” Tong Ziyan looked into Pei Cheng’s eyes, her usual gentleness gone.

"Ziyan, don't be like this. Try to see things from my perspective. It does take me some time to get rid of this child."

"You want me to put myself in your shoes? But who will put themselves in my shoes? How come my husband's ex-girlfriend suddenly showed up at our door with her son?"

Tong Ziyan became more and more agitated as she spoke, and she pushed Pei Cheng away and stood up from the sofa.

Pei Cheng quickly stood up as well. "Wife, don't get agitated. I will definitely keep my promise to you."

"Is this the promise you kept?" Tong Ziyan calmly opened her phone and showed Pei Cheng the photo that Xu Ling had sent her.

Looking at the photos on his phone, Pei Cheng was stunned for a moment. He finally understood why Tong Ziyan had thrown such a tantrum today.

"Honey, let me explain..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation. I'm waiting for you to sign the divorce papers." After saying that, Tong Ziyan angrily pushed Pei Cheng away and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

Pei Cheng briefly pondered why Tong Ziyan would have such a photo, but he quickly realized something was terribly wrong, and he hurriedly chased after Tong Ziyan.

"Honey! Don't be impulsive, okay? Let's have a proper talk."

"What's there to talk about! If you don't agree to a divorce by mutual consent, I'll file for divorce, and you can expect a summons from the court!"

Tong Ziyan deliberately spoke very loudly, wanting everyone else in the family to hear her.

"Ziyan... what happened? Why are you suddenly talking about divorce?"

Wen Lan, who was not far away, came over upon hearing the noise. She thought Tong Ziyan was willing to go home today, but she didn't expect her to come to ask for a divorce.

"Mom, you should ask your son what's going on. I think the three of them are a good family." After saying this, Tong Ziyan appeared eager to leave the Pei family.

Upon hearing Tong Ziyan's words, Wen Lan's temper flared up immediately. She glared at Pei Cheng and demanded, "What exactly happened?!"

"Mom, can you let me go and bring Ziyan back first?" Seeing that Tong Ziyan had already gone downstairs, Pei Cheng didn't have time to explain to Wen Lan.

Wen Lan quickly stopped Pei Cheng in his tracks. "What problem will it solve if you bring Zi Yan back now? You're not trying to have your cake and eat it too, are you?"

"I didn't!" Pei Cheng answered decisively, truly unable to defend himself. "If you don't want Zi Yan to divorce you, you know what to do. I won't tell your father about this yet, but you'd better not be blinded by greed!" This was Wen Lan's warning to Pei Cheng.

Wenlan could tell that Xu Ling was behind her daughter-in-law's outburst of anger today, especially since her usually gentle daughter-in-law had even brought up divorce.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, dazzling lights illuminate the city's night sky, and rows of skyscrapers showcase the city's prosperity.

On the sofa, Ming Weiyi was already leisurely half-lying down. The rose rabbit doll that Pei Ming had given her today was placed on the coffee table.

The aroma of dinner was already filling the house; now they were just waiting for Pei Ming to come home.

Ming Wei's phone rang, and a moment later, Pei Ming appeared before her.

"Didn't you say you'd wait for me to come home? How come you're back later than me?" Ming Wei also sat up from the sofa and looked at Pei Ming teasingly.

Pei Ming clearly remembered that he hadn't said that today, and he picked up the card next to the rose rabbit with even more curiosity.

After opening the card, Pei Ming couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, and admiration showed in his eyes.

Based on Pei Ming's smile and his eyes, Ming Wei instantly understood that the words on the card were not left by Pei Ming.

"Tell me the truth, did you leave these four words?" Ming Wei pointed at Pei Ming, pretending to question him.

"No." Pei Ming answered Ming Weiyi's question honestly, and gently placed the card back on the coffee table.

"Did you choose this rose rabbit?" This question was crucial for Ming Weiyi.

Pei Ming nodded slightly and sat down next to Ming Weiyi. "Of course, this is my choice. After I choose the flower, I'll leave the rest to Du Lian."

"Du Lian is truly your cunning strategist!"

Pei Ming smiled again, this time with an appreciative smile. "Really? I think he's incredibly wise."

"Of course he's smart. His concise four words got me a scolding from Qi Fei." Ming Wei also acknowledged Du Lian's intelligence.

"Then I'll give Du Lian a piece of my mind, is that alright?"

Pei Ming didn't even need to think about it; Qi Fei must be complaining that Ming Wei was also disloyal for having a marriage prospect and keeping it a secret from her.

"You're going to scold him? You two are always in cahoots."

From Pei Ming's expression after seeing those four words on the card, Ming Wei could tell that he was very satisfied.

"No, how could that be..." Pei Ming denied repeatedly with a smile.

Ming Wei then turned the topic to the plush toys on the coffee table. She turned to Pei Ming and said, "But you have good taste. Everyone in our department says the rose rabbit you gave us is quite pretty."

"They think it's pretty, but do you think it's pretty, or do you like it?" Pei Ming asked this question with his eyes full of expectation.

“If I didn’t like it, would I have brought it home? Do you know how heavy this thing is?” Ming Wei said, pointing to the rose rabbit doll.

Ming Weiyi liked the gift not only for its contents, but also because it was a gift from Pei Ming.

Having received Ming Weiyi's affirmative answer, Pei Ming's face showed a satisfied smile, and he naturally raised his hand to rub Ming Weiyi's head.

"As long as you like it."
