Chapter 147 The Untouchable Moonlight

At midday, the underground parking lot was quiet; it was lunchtime, and there were very few people there.

The elevator doors opened, and Pei Ming casually walked out, phone in hand.

He walked at a leisurely pace, eventually stopping beside Ming Weiyi's car.

Seeing that no one was around, Pei Ming quickly opened the back door and got in.

"Why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Pei Ming sat on his side, looking relaxed, with his elbows resting on the back of the seat for support.

"I really want to curse you to death!" Looking at Pei Ming's leisurely appearance, Ming Wei felt even more disgusted with him.

"What's wrong? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Pei Ming's slightly puzzled tone was tinged with doting affection. This morning when they left home, Ming Wei and he were still inseparable.

Ming Wei also looked at Pei Ming with disdain, and she brushed her hair aside on the right side to reveal the back of her ear.

"Look what you've done! Someone even saw us today, it's so embarrassing!"

Ming Weiyi has fair skin, and her skin is flawless. The hickeys left by Pei Ming are very obvious.

Faced with Ming Weiyi's accusations and the mess he had made, Pei Ming couldn't help but smile. "I'll be more careful next time..."

"Next time! And you're still laughing!" Ming Wei said coquettishly, slapping Pei Ming's arm.

She was so embarrassed, and Pei Ming still dared to laugh!

Mingwei also made a move, and Pei Ming naturally dared not dodge, otherwise he would only be dealt with even more severely.

However, he then grabbed the hand that Ming Wei had just used to hit her.

"I have something important to tell you."

"what's up?"

Hearing that Pei Ming was going to talk to her about serious matters, Ming Wei also stopped her playful attitude towards Pei Ming and looked at him seriously.

"Jia Ni said that Luo Zhi will take her to a drinking party this Saturday. Ask your cousin if he's going." When talking about serious matters, Pei Ming's expression became much more serious.

Even if your cousin doesn't go, you still hope he'll run into Jia Ni, right?

Mingwei had already guessed what Pei Ming was thinking. After all, Wen Jiani was a girl, and if Fu Baiqing was there, he could ensure Wen Jiani's safety.

Pei Ming nodded slightly. "Your cousin is incredibly intelligent. He knows how to ensure Jiani's safety and even advance our plans."

"Okay, I'll call him in a bit."

Having finished discussing important matters, and having been busy all morning without having lunch, Pei Ming, seeing Ming Wei here, began to have some ulterior motives.

He looked into Ming Weiyi's eyes and reminded her, "Wife, have you forgotten that we haven't had lunch yet? Aren't you hungry?"

"You still want lunch? Get out of my car right now!"

"I'm not leaving!"

In the back seat of the vehicle, the two grown-ups started playing around like children again.

However, every time, the poor guy who gets beaten up is Pei Ming.

Hospital, cafeteria.

The cafeteria at lunchtime is where the largest number of medical staff from various departments gather.

In this place, they all consciously took off their work clothes, revealing their true selves.

In a corner of the cafeteria, Tang Ying was eating while scrolling through her phone when, out of the corner of her eye, a plate was placed in front of her.

She looked up and saw it was Lu Xiao.

"Senior sister, don't you know that you eat more when you play on your phone at the same time? Your stomach is stretched out without you even realizing it."

"Can't I relax a bit while I eat?" Tang Ying quickly observed Lu Xiao's expression and, seeing that he didn't seem to care about what happened yesterday, she felt relieved.

Their communication remained the same as before, and this was the best state to be in.

"I filled out the application for further training this morning, and I'm just waiting for the hospital's approval." Lu Xiao said this with a bitter feeling in his heart.

However, when facing Tang Ying, he made his expression and tone of voice very casual, so that Tang Ying would continue to treat him as her junior brother.

"Study hard after you get out, and don't embarrass the hospital, Director Xu, and Lao Zhang." Tang Ying tried to sound like a senior student.

"Don't worry about that, just wait and see how I, your junior brother, will make you proud."

The title of "junior brother" is really hard to accept, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Tang Ying smiled, her smile showing her approval of Lu Xiao. "Okay, okay, I'll be waiting."

The meal was about to end in a long silence when Lu Xiao spoke again.

"Senior sister, could you see me off at the airport when I leave?"

Lu Xiao's question made Tang Ying's heart tighten. Not seeing him off would seem somewhat heartless, after all, she was her senior sister.

If I send her off, she really dislikes the feeling of parting.

"See? Look at what job I was doing the day you left."

Tang Ying neither refused nor directly agreed.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Lu Xiao didn't expect Tang Ying to actually see him off; Tang Ying's reply was already the best he could ask for.

Even though she knew that liking someone shouldn't be so humble, Lu Xiao just couldn't control herself.

It's because he likes someone he can't have, just like he can never truly touch the moonlight.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the sky outside the window remained a clear blue.

In the Planning Department, Qi Fei leaned over someone else's desk with one hand and their office chair with the other, reviewing a PowerPoint presentation.

The person who made this PPT was a new employee who had just joined the company. She glanced at Qi Fei's expression and then at her own work, feeling quite uneasy.

It was time to leave work, and everyone started shutting down their computers and preparing to leave.

After leaving the planning department's corridor, Du Lian walked towards Planning Department One with an expressionless face.

His expression was perfectly normal, but his position and his relationship with Pei Ming still gave people a sense of pressure.

As Du Lian was about to walk into the adjacent room, the people in the second room began to whisper among themselves:
"With Assistant Du having gone to one of the stations at this hour, they're basically not going to be able to leave work!"

"Just two days ago, he was clashing with General Manager Fu in Department One. Today, everyone in Department One is in danger..."

At the entrance of the building, sharp-eyed people had already seen Du Lian walk in. Du Lian gestured for them to be quiet.

"The PPT you made looks like you're writing a novel. Are you trying to win the Mao Dun Literature Prize?"

Hearing Qi Fei's complaints, Ming Wei glanced at Du Lian, then at Qi Fei, who had her back to Du Lian, and gave Du Lian a very amusing smile.

As Du Lian approached step by step, the newcomer caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye. She quickly coughed twice and even gestured to Qi Fei with her eyes to look back.

Receiving the look, Qi Fei turned her head and looked back. She could guess that the person standing behind her was either Fu Baiqing or Li Anwen, but she never expected it to be Du Lian.

Although Qi Fei was surprised, she calmly straightened up and looked at Du Lian, "Assistant Du, what brings you here?"

People who were about to leave their workstations slowed down their packing by at least ten times as soon as they sensed some gossip.

"Have you forgotten what I said this morning?"

What did he say this morning? Qi Fei searched her memory for what Du Lian had said that morning. Could it be that they were going to have dinner together tonight?
Even if he's just asking me out for dinner, does he really need to be so high-profile?
Seeing that Qi Fei didn't speak, Du Lian said again, "I'll wait for you at the entrance of the planning department. You should finish what you're doing first."

Qi Fei remained silent throughout the entire process. She was genuinely bewildered. Why was Du Lian acting so strangely today?
Upon hearing Du Lian say that he was waiting for Qi Fei, everyone in the show wore a knowing smile.

Watching Du Lian walk away, Ming Wei smiled mischievously and said, "Qi Fei, take your time revising the PPT, make him wait a little longer."
