Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 152 is all about a bunch of bystanders.

As evening falls, the city lights begin to illuminate the city, and neon lights gradually replace the starlight in the sky.

Sitting in the car, Qi Fei looked up at the horizon, where the afterglow of the setting sun was warm and serene.

The little girl had been having a blast all day, and she was so tired that she lay down on Qi Fei and fell fast asleep.

The atmosphere inside the car was quiet, and they were less than ten minutes away from their destination. Du Lian glanced at Qi Fei in the rearview mirror and, after thinking for a while, finally found a topic to talk about.

"Qi Fei, I'll still be waiting for you at the door tomorrow morning."

Du Lian's voice brought Qi Fei back to her senses. She had been in a state of complete abandon and hadn't heard what Du Lian was saying at all.

"Um... what were you just saying?"

Now, Du Lian is still very patient with Qi Fei. He repeated what he had said before, "I said, I will still wait for you at the door tomorrow morning."

Qi Fei roughly guessed what Du Lian meant; he planned to give her a ride to the company on his way the next morning.

"I'm sorry, you won't be able to wait for me."

"Why?" Du Lian raised his head slightly again and glanced at Qi Fei in the rearview mirror.

"My brother promised to take me home tonight, so we won't be starting from the same point tomorrow morning."

As Qi Fei spoke, she picked up her phone, unlocked it, and began to browse through the photos she had taken at the aquarium that day.

Keep the good-looking ones and those that can be edited; delete the bad ones.

"I won't trouble your brother. I'll take you home after I drop your niece off."

Du Lian doesn't know where Qi Fei lives yet, so he'll find out her address when he takes her home later.

Qi Fei raised her eyes. "Are you bored and have nothing better to do?"

She deliberately avoided agreeing to what Du Lian said, hoping to test his patience.

"I'll wait for you downstairs at your niece's house later," Du Lian said, not directly answering Qi Fei's question.

He just wanted to make his stance clear: he would definitely take Qi Fei home today.

Qi Fei didn't say much. Since Du Lian was so insistent on giving it to her, she didn't need to refuse.

On her WeChat Moments, she selected a photo of herself and her niece from behind, several photos of them facing the camera, and individual photos of herself and her niece.

After reviewing the photos again, she found them to be quite good. She and her niece were both very pretty and had sweet smiles. Then, she added text to the photos and clicked "post".

As dusk settled over the Ming family mansion, the entire house was brightly lit.

Pei Ming and Ming Wei also came home for dinner today, making the dining room much livelier, and one dish after another was placed on the table.

Before all the dishes were served, Mingwei took a look at her phone while Yan Jie was in the kitchen and the dishes were not yet on the table.

She casually opened her WeChat Moments and saw Qi Fei's post from just a few minutes ago.

In the photos, against the backdrop of the underwater world, Qi Fei looks beautiful and has a touch of childlike innocence, while her little niece looks like a fairy princess from the sea.

And her caption read: Today was another happy day. Luckily, a kind person helped me take care of this naughty little brat!
This set of pictures and text makes it hard not to think. The kind person not only helped Qi Fei take care of the child, but also took pictures of Qi Fei and the little kid the whole time!

Mingwei smiled knowingly, and quickly commented on Qi Fei's post on WeChat Moments:

Feifei and the little kid are both so pretty! Also, who is this kind person? Not only is he good at taking care of kids, but he's also a great photographer!
She could guess that the person with Qi Fei today was definitely Du Lian!
The colleagues in the Planning Department were no pushovers; in less than five seconds, they rushed to Qi Fei's WeChat Moments.

Colleague A commented under Ming Weiyi's question: "Is that even a question? It's definitely the guy who came to our department a few days ago waiting for Fei-jie to get off work." Colleague B: "I'm really curious, is this 'him' the same person as 'him'?"

Colleague C: What are you all pretending for? Can't you be a little bolder? Is typing "Du Lian" (杜联) a hot potato?

Colleague D: Hahaha... Those who know, know!
The comments from her colleagues were so funny that Mingwei couldn't stop laughing while staring at her phone screen.

"Hahaha... Absolutely amazing!"

Pei Ming, who was sitting next to Ming Weiyi, had already seen Ming Weiyi's appearance. He looked at Ming Weiyi as if she were an idiot.

However, he was also very curious about what Ming Weiyi had seen that was so funny.

Before Pei Ming could even get close to Ming Weiyi's phone, Ming Weiyi had already handed her own phone to Pei Ming.

"I'm showing you something funny. Look at the comments from one of our friends..."

Pei Ming wouldn't refuse to watch something interesting. He first glanced at Qi Fei's WeChat Moments post, and then he enjoyed the witty comments contributed by Ming Weiyi and her colleagues.

As he watched, a smile unconsciously crept onto Pei Ming's lips.

"You guys are quite interesting."

Having received Pei Ming's praise, Ming Wei also had a plan. "Hahaha... I'm going to take a screenshot and send it to Du Lian. The male protagonist of the scandal must know about this brilliant comment."

"What if the male lead isn't him?" Pei Ming said, a faint, mischievous smile appearing on his face.

"First, Qi Fei would never go out with a guy she's not interested in. Second, if it were girls, they would definitely take a selfie together. Third, if it were family, they wouldn't say they were doing it out of kindness..."

"Wow, you're amazing. You can even analyze things now." Pei Ming said, raising his hand to affectionately hook around Ming Weiyi's arm, and then naturally rubbing her cheek.

Yan Jie happened to see the two being so intimate, and she walked to the dining table with a smile and sat down opposite Ming Weiyi.

Just then, the family's rehabilitation therapist helped Minghui over, and Mingwei immediately got up and ran towards him.

"Dad, you're recovering really well!" Ming Wei also helped Ming Hui up with his other arm. She was really happy that Ming Hui could walk now.

Pei Ming stood up on his own initiative. "Yes, I suppose it won't be long before Dad recovers."

Yan Jie turned around and smiled, "With your wedding just around the corner, of course your dad has to work hard."

"Hopefully, we can take care of Zhuozheng Group before that happens."

Pei Ming felt that before his wedding with Ming Weiyi, and before Ming Hui could stand up again and return to the Ming Group, eliminating Zhuozheng Group, his enemy, would be the best wedding gift he could give Ming Weiyi.

"I'm a little curious, how did you manage to get Bai Qing on your side?" Yan Jie turned her gaze to Pei Ming.

“He chose me himself,” Pei Ming replied casually.

"Oh?" Yan Jie smiled, indicating that she was very interested in hearing the story.

"The Ming Group represents ten years of his hard work. It's not worth ruining the Ming Group for him. He might as well cooperate with me to show his loyalty, and if all goes well, he can take my position."

Minghui expressed his doubt, and as he sat down, he looked at Pei Ming and asked, "Your seat?"

“Ming Group belongs to Weiwei. In the future, she will sit in your position, and Fu Baiqing will be her CEO. I think it's very secure.” Pei Ming told Ming Weiyi’s parents the truth.

Ming Wei glanced at Pei Ming with a complicated look. She didn't say anything. She knew it was only a matter of time before Pei Ming left the Ming Group, but she just couldn't bear to part with him.

Even though she was reluctant, Mingwei had no choice but to grow up; she had responsibilities to bear.
