Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 121 Holy crap, you're keeping a mistress?
Capital
The gloomy sky always darkens particularly quickly. Outside the window, neon lights light up one after another, and the capital city transforms into a dazzling and opulent place once again.

At her desk, Ming Wei was carefully reviewing her tasks on her laptop. Even if she was on a business trip, she had to do the work that Li Anwen had assigned her well.

Jiangcheng
The residential area is much quieter at night, and the lights from every household add warmth to the night.

In the living room, Qi Fei casually lay down on the sofa. The more she thought about Du Lian's matter today, the more upset she felt.

She was even more curious about what had happened between Du Lian and his ex-girlfriend that made her come to him in person.

And it's obvious even to a fool that his ex-girlfriend is definitely trying to get back together with Du Lian.

These questions were driving Qi Fei crazy. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone.

Looking at the WeChat homepage, Qi Fei focused her attention on Xiao Ming.

So, Qi Fei opened Ming Weiyi's chat window and pressed the voice call button.

Capital
The unexpected phone call made Mingwei stop what she was doing. She thought Qifei wanted to talk to her about something related to work.

She simply switched to speakerphone so she could work and discuss things with Qi Fei at the same time.

"Hey, do you have any new task for me?"

"I'm trying to talk to you because I'm in a bad mood right now."

Qi Fei had no interest in talking about work right now; she just wanted to find someone to talk to.

"What's wrong?" Ming Wei also stopped typing and looked at her phone.

Thinking that Ming Wei might also be wandering around the capital, Qi Fei asked, "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's convenient. I'm at the hotel. Just tell me."

"Du Lian's ex-girlfriend came to our company to see him today, and she came all the way from far away."

Ming Wei's face instantly turned into one of astonishment, "Oh no?"

"It was quite a coincidence that Du ran into me. He told his ex-girlfriend that I was her current girlfriend."

"Isn't that good? You two are making pretty good progress."

"Good my ass! I'm just Du Lian's tool! I can tell that Du Lian hasn't let go of her yet."

Qi Fei's tone was somewhat angry, and also carried a hint of resentment, which immediately changed Ming Wei's expression.

"what?"

"He said before that he wouldn't date, and today I understand, he just doesn't want to date me."

"I bet you're still helping Du Lian fool his ex-girlfriend, right?"

"if not?"

To make Qi Fei feel better, Ming Wei also comforted her, saying, "Du Lian asked you to help him fool his ex-girlfriend today, which means he doesn't intend to get back together with her."

"Don't I know this man? He's just acting out because he's angry. Once his ex-girlfriend coaxes him a few more times, he'll naturally go back to her."

"They've already broken up, so you still have a chance. You know, being close to someone gives you an advantage, right?"

From Qi Fei's consistently unhappy tone, it was clear that she had genuine feelings for Du Liandong, so Ming Wei could only try to put a positive spin on her words.

"Am I some kind of despicable person? They clearly have unfinished business, why would I interfere?"

Qi Fei was unwilling to think positively, so that even if what she said was right, she could accept it.

"Don't think things are too absolute. What if Du Lian is really determined not to reconcile with his ex?"

"We'll see. Anyway, Du Lian offered to take me home today, but I refused. I get annoyed just looking at his sullen face."

Mingwei was also speechless. "Why did you reject him? What if Du Lian really has feelings for you?" "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist singing 'New Endless Love' to him in the car."

The melody of the song immediately popped into Ming Weiyi's mind, and she burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Come on, sing me a couple of lines..."

Qi Fei cleared her throat. Singing was nothing to her. "I can't forget the painful longing of the past, why do you still stir my heartbeat? How can I stop loving you..."

What was supposed to be a sad occasion turned into a hilarious ordeal for Qi Fei, with Ming Wei laughing so hard she nearly fell over. "Hahaha... Stop singing, it's so fitting... Hahaha..."

Ming Weiyi had completely forgotten that there was another person in the room. Pei Ming heard Ming Weiyi's laughter from inside the bathroom, and he pushed open the bathroom door while wearing a bathrobe.

"Weiwei, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing Pei Ming's voice, Ming Wei inexplicably tensed up and quickly made a "shh" gesture towards him.

Fortunately, Pei Ming was sick, and his voice sounded off, so Qi Fei couldn't tell who was speaking; she only heard a man's voice.

"Damn, you're keeping a mistress?"

Qi Fei had already put the unpleasant incident behind her; now her task was to gossip about Ming Weiyi.

"What are you hiding? Old Li didn't say we can't bring family members on business trips, did he?"

Pei Ming was very pleased with the word "family member," and he smiled as he walked step by step toward Ming Weiyi.

"Hey, I just remembered something. I was too busy yesterday to gossip with you."

Since the man who just spoke is Ming Weiyi's fiancé, it doesn't mean much to Qi Fei anymore; he's not some random guy from the capital.

"what's up?"

Mingwei thought it was some kind of gossip from inside the company, so she casually asked a question.

“Yesterday, Du Lian told me that President Pei also went to Beijing, and he even showed me President Pei’s flight information. You two were on the same flight.”

As soon as Qi Fei finished speaking, Pei Ming was already sitting on his desk, facing Ming Weiyi. He recognized that the person who had called Ming Weiyi was Qi Fei.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Ming Weiyi started playing dumb again, even though Pei Ming was sitting next to her on the plane.

"You didn't see him? You must be really blind."

"I really didn't see it."

Pei Ming listened to their conversation and gave Ming Weiyi a look that said, "You're really good at making things up."

"So that means you didn't see President Pei at Xia Wanfeng's advertisement shooting set today. I thought he went to Beijing to take the opportunity to see Xia Wanfeng."

Qi Fei's words made Pei Ming's face darken. In order to suppress Pei Ming's desire to speak, Ming Wei warned him with her eyes not to speak.

After warning Pei Ming, Ming Wei also denied Qi Fei's guess on Pei Ming's behalf, "No, Xia Wanfeng didn't mention President Pei at all today."

"What did he do in the capital?" Qi Fei asked casually, without even thinking about it.

Pei Ming ultimately ignored Ming Weiyi's warning and directly picked up Ming Weiyi's phone to answer Qi Fei's question.

"Du Lian has already deliberately shown you my flight information, don't you dare to guess in a bolder direction?"

Qi Fei on the other end of the phone felt like her head was about to explode, and her pupils dilated instantly.

"Pei Ming! Even a sore throat can't stop you from talking, can it?"

"Qi Fei is still your friend, are you planning to keep this from her forever?"

"Why do you talk like a green tea b*tch?" Ming Weiyi had once again experienced Pei Ming's green tea behavior today.
