Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 119 Overflowing with Love

At midday, the sky outside the window was overcast and visibility was much lower. The dark clouds shrouded the entire city in gloom, making people feel depressed and oppressed.

Sitting alone at the dining table in the suite, Pei Ming forced himself to eat a few bites of the light lunch on the table.

If Ming Wei hadn't specially arranged lunch for him and made him eat it, he really wouldn't have been able to eat anything at all.

Ming Wei took care of him almost all night. Although Pei Ming was in a daze, he knew how hard Ming Wei was working, and a warm feeling of being loved flowed through his heart.

The ringing of the phone broke the silence. Pei Ming picked up the phone on the table and glanced at it. The call was from Pei Cheng.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Pei Ming spoke with a heavy nasal tone and his voice was hoarse, making it obvious to anyone who heard him that he was ill.

"Your voice sounds off, are you sick?"

Pei Cheng was, after all, Pei Ming's older brother. Even though he had something to discuss with Pei Ming, he still asked about Pei Ming's health first.

"It's a small problem, just say what's on your mind," Pei Ming said, taking another spoonful of millet porridge from his bowl and eating it.

"Go back to City C in the next couple of days as soon as possible and take care of something for me."

"what's up?"

Pei Ming knew that Pei Cheng must have something to ask him when he called, otherwise the two of them could go for ages without contacting each other.

"My project in Beihai is completed. Could you go and check on it for me? You know your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so I have to..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. See you at the company the day after tomorrow. We'll discuss your specific requirements when we meet." Pei Ming didn't bother listening to Pei Cheng continue explaining his reasons and interrupted him directly.

Anyway, Pei Ming knew in his heart that he had to go to Beihai. Pei Cheng trusted him the most and could only order him around.

Since Tong Ziyan is now pregnant with the Pei family's "crown prince," he, as her uncle, has to be sensible and give way to the "crown prince."

C城

In the same hotel room, the weather in City C was different from that in Beijing. The sky outside the window wasn't very blue, but it was still a sunny day.

"Mommy...eat this! Baby wants to eat this!"

Xu Ling complied with Xu Jinghao's request and placed a golden, crispy shrimp cake near Xu Jinghao's mouth.

Watching her son eat his lunch heartily, Xu Ling radiated maternal love.

The phone on the dining table rang at an inopportune moment. After comforting Xu Jinghao, Xu Ling put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, and glanced at it.

This unrecorded phone number was crucial to her, and she quickly answered the call.

"Hey, any new discoveries?"

"Yes, but Miss Xu, you won't be happy to hear that."

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a man, and judging from his tone, he was probably in his thirties or forties.

"Go ahead."

Xu Ling seemed calm; what could be more upsetting than Pei Cheng refusing to acknowledge Xu Jinghao?

"The person you asked me to keep an eye on is pregnant. I've seen her go to the OB-GYN a few times recently."

This news really upset Xu Ling, and it was even more troubling than Pei Cheng refusing to acknowledge Xu Jinghao.

"you sure?"

"I saw that she was holding a booklet for pregnant women to register, and I'm sure of it." At this moment, Xu Ling was so angry that she couldn't even eat. She originally thought that she could still control Pei Cheng if Tong Ziyan didn't have a child, but she didn't expect that Tong Ziyan would get pregnant so quickly!

If Tong Ziyan's child is born, what will Xu Jinghao gain? The Pei family will only despise Xu Jinghao even more.

Thinking of this, the ruthlessness in Xu Ling's eyes almost burst out.

Her jealousy of Tong Ziyan had reached its peak at this moment. Why was it that Tong Ziyan, who only met Pei Cheng later, could get everything?

She had spent so much time and energy on Pei Cheng, wasting six years of her youth, and even giving birth to a son for him, yet she received nothing in return.

Capital
The rain seemed to be threatening but couldn't fall, and the summer air was thick with a muggy, humid atmosphere, making people feel very uncomfortable.

After overseeing the commercial shoot on set, Mingwei also had a detailed discussion with the editor about the company's requirements for the advertisement. Exhausted after a long day, she finally returned to her hotel.

The sound of the room card swiping open the door reached Pei Ming's ears; he had finally waited for Ming Weiyi to return.

Ming Wei also entered the room and walked into the living room. She saw Pei Ming sit up from the sofa, and Pei Ming looked much better.

"You are finally back……"

Pei Ming's tone was soft and full of anticipation; he looked like a little puppy waiting for its owner to come home.

"Did you eat properly at noon?" Ming Wei also looked at the dining table not far away, which had been cleaned up.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have the strength to wait here for you to come back."

Seeing that Ming Weiyi had already walked up to him, Pei Ming reached out and put his arm around Ming Weiyi's waist, and Ming Weiyi sat on Pei Ming's lap.

"You haven't had a fever again during the day, have you?" Ming Wei also raised her hand and gently touched Pei Ming's forehead, her eyes filled with concern for him.

"No, I took the medicine on time as you instructed."

Mingwei was quite satisfied with Pei Ming's performance. She gently pinched Pei Ming's cheek and said, "Last night, we really owed a lot to Tang Ying. You should thank her properly."

"I will definitely thank Tang Ying, but the person I need to thank the most is you." Pei Ming said, pulling Ming Weiyi's waist even tighter.

"Don't even mention it. When I went to the commercial shoot today, I felt like my soul was about to leave my body. Luckily, the coffee from the evening breeze pulled me back to reality."

Hearing what Ming Weiyi said, Pei Ming felt very guilty. "It's all my fault for dragging you down and making you work so hard."

"It's good that we're together. If you had been home alone with a high fever last night, you would have stubbornly refused to tell me."

"You know that?" Pei Ming smiled slightly. To be honest, Ming Wei knew him quite well.

"So, let me work a little harder. At least I can take care of you myself, and I'll be happy to see that you're alright."

Ming Weiyi's voice was very gentle, and her words brought warmth to Pei Ming's heart like a spring breeze.

Pei Ming instinctively wanted to kiss Ming Weiyi, but reason stopped him.

Mingwei was a little stunned. Pei Ming was about to kiss her, so why didn't he?
Seeing Pei Ming withdraw his movement from getting closer, Ming Wei asked directly, "What are you hesitating about?"

"I'm afraid I'll give you my cold, and then you'll feel unwell."

It turned out that Pei Ming's step back was because he was worried that she would catch his infection. Ming Wei smiled.

“Last night when you had a high fever, I was so close to you and I wasn’t afraid of getting infected. It’s just a kiss now, what’s the big deal?”

After saying this, Ming Wei leaned closer to Pei Ming. Before Pei Ming could react, a gentle kiss landed on his lips.
