Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 94. Indulging in debauchery outside!
As night deepened, the number of vehicles outside the window gradually decreased, and the neon lights of the tall buildings in the distance were reduced to mere specks of starlight.

In the living room on the first floor, the main light had been turned off, and a strip of lights illuminated the lights outside the window.

On the second floor, Mingwei was already lying in bed. She picked up her phone to check the time again; it was already 11:27 PM.

Even if Pei Ming had dinner engagements before, he wouldn't still be out so late. What was he doing in the middle of the night?
Mingwei felt increasingly uneasy. This man, drinking late at night, might do something morally reprehensible.

After some internal struggle, Mingwei decided to call Du Lian to sound him out.

The call to Du Lian was answered quickly, it seems Du Lian is free.

"Du Lian, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Ming Wei chose to apologize to Du Lian first before calling him at this time.

"Miss, are you trying to ask me why President Pei hasn't come home yet?" Du Lian asked directly, a smile playing on his lips.

Someone said they wouldn't check up on me, but it's only been a few days and they've already called to check up on me!
"Yes, I just wanted to ask what kind of meal takes so long?" Ming Wei answered Du Lian's question frankly. As Pei Ming's legal wife, it was perfectly reasonable for her to ask this question.

"What are you talking about? President Pei and his business partners are at a nightclub. They've been drinking and haven't come out yet."

"What did you say?"

Ming Wei frowned, silently cursing Pei Ming in her heart: Pei Ming, you dog! I've been waiting for you until now, but you're out there having a good time!
Du Lian wanted Ming Weiyi to sound angry, so he suppressed a laugh and spoke again into the phone.

"I promise to get President Pei back before 12:30, so you can rest assured."

"Whether he comes back or not is up to him. There are plenty of beautiful women in nightclubs, and besides, he's probably had quite a bit to drink. I advise you not to ruin his good time."

From Ming Weiyi's words, Du Lian could sense her sarcastic tone; if Pei Ming really didn't go home today, he would definitely die a horrible death.

After hanging up the call with Du Lian, Ming Wei threw her phone heavily onto the pillow. She had already imagined Pei Ming's drinking party tonight, which would definitely be big shots exchanging compliments and surrounded by beautiful women.

Now Mingwei was even more unable to sleep. With Pei Ming's good looks and the effects of alcohol, who knew if something inappropriate for children might happen between him?

At the entrance of the nightclub, Duan Ziang had his arm around Pei Ming's shoulder, looking like they were old friends who had met too late, while He Lin chimed in.

It's clear they enjoyed their drinks today.

As the time for parting approached, Duan Ziang smiled and said to Pei Ming, "The current policy is to promote the development of the new energy industry. Thanks to you, He Lin and I can also respond to the national call."

"The market potential for new energy is huge. I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Pei Ming had drunk quite a bit today, but his willpower kept him from getting too drunk.

"After drinking together today, we're friends. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just come to us two brothers." Duan Ziang said this with great sincerity.

"Why do I need your help? I need your advice on how to win over a girl?" He Lin was always the one who knew exactly how to hit Duan Ziang.

Pei Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha... that's not impossible."

"It's getting late, let's go." He Lin was the first to make his escape. He hadn't drunk this much in a long time, and he was almost at his limit.

"By the way, there's something I really want to ask you two for a favor." Pei Ming suddenly thought of something.

"What is it?" He Lin stopped and looked at Pei Ming.

Duan Ziang also stopped in his tracks, looking at Pei Ming with curiosity.

"The Ming Group suffered heavy losses recently due to the rumors. I would like to ask you two to help me secretly investigate who did it."

"No problem, wait for my news." He Lin understood that Pei Ming was new to the city and not very familiar with the people and things in Jiangcheng.

"Then thank you in advance, Mr. He." Pei Ming politely thanked He Lin. "No need to thank me, I'll invite you out again next time." Duan Ziang's smile was as carefree as his personality.

A few minutes before midnight, Pei Ming appeared before Du Lian. Seeing Pei Ming holding his forehead and looking somewhat dazed, Du Lian quickly got out of the car and helped Pei Ming into the back seat.

Once inside his car, Pei Ming unconsciously wanted to close his eyes, and with the cold wind blowing inside, he felt his head getting heavier and heavier.

The roads were easy to drive on at night, and Du Lian drove into the underground parking lot in just over ten minutes.

He turned around and glanced at Pei Ming, who had his eyes closed. At that moment, he felt nothing but schadenfreude.

Drinking so much alcohol, just wait and see how the young lady will sarcastic and sarcastic remarks you get!
However, Du Lian was still very "loyal" to Pei Ming. Before helping Pei Ming upstairs, he dialed Ming Weiyi's number.

As Du Lian expected, the call was successfully connected.

Why are you calling me so late?

Ming Weiyi's voice sounded somewhat impatient, but unusually clear, which meant she was still waiting for Pei Ming.

"What else would I need you for? Mr. Pei has had too much to drink. Could you please open the door in two minutes and I'll throw him inside?"

"What a nuisance!" Ming Weiyi said, but her body betrayed her by lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

Mingwei also picked up the cloak from the sofa, put it on, and walked out of the room.

Du Lian's timing was fairly accurate; just as Ming Wei opened her front door, the elevator doors also opened.

According to Ming Wei's imagined scenario, she didn't give Pei Ming a friendly look. She turned to the side and gestured for Du Lian to help Pei Ming into the room.

"Since you've already brought him back, you might as well go all the way and throw him into his bed."

Hearing Ming Weiyi's voice, Pei Ming opened his eyes in a daze, "Weiwei..."

Pei Ming fell asleep in the car just now; the alcohol had numbed his senses, making him unconscious.

"Don't call me! You're disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night!" Ming Weiyi said with a stern face, looking quite fierce. She walked ahead and guided Du Lian to lead Pei Ming back to the bedroom.

"Miss, you're so angry. You don't actually think that President Pei had some beautiful women with him at the dinner party today, do you?"

If it were just a simple dinner party, Mingwei probably wouldn't be angry; it's true that nightclubs can easily lead to all sorts of fantasies.

"I don't care if he has beautiful women with him..." Ming Weiyi's answer was very insincere.

"Don't worry, the partners just want to have a couple of drinks. Their gathering today is completely 'green' (i.e., clean and healthy)."

Du Lian's words had calmed Ming Wei down considerably, but she still kept a straight face and said, "It doesn't matter..."

As the two were talking, Ming Wei opened Pei Ming's door and watched as Du Lian helped Pei Ming to the bedside step by step.

Du Lian casually tossed Pei Ming onto the bed and walked out of Pei Ming's room while stretching his muscles.

"Alright, I've delivered the person to you. I'm leaving now."

"You've had a hard day because of him." Mingwei was angry with Pei Ming, but she wouldn't forget Du Lian's hard work.
