Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 159 I love you so much!
Compared to the old and new grudges of the Ming Group, the sales department's half-year summary is really nothing.

Moreover, Du Lian didn't need to report anything; his task was simply to sit there patiently and listen to one PowerPoint presentation after another.

In the lecture hall, a phone call came in. Du Lian glanced at his phone and decisively chose to leave his seat and walk out of the lecture hall.

Qi Fei saw Du Lian leaving the lecture hall. Ming Wei had just sent her a WeChat message when Du Lian walked out of the lecture hall.

Since everyone was sitting in the lecture hall and no one would notice her, Qi Fei slipped out of the lecture hall.

After leaving the lecture hall and walking forward through the lobby area, Du Lian, with the elevator on one side and the emergency exit on the other, quickly headed towards the emergency exit while still on the phone.

As he passed through the lobby area, several sales staff greeted him politely.

"That's the situation. Now we need you to step in again."

On the other end of the phone, Mingwei had already explained the situation clearly and was now waiting for Du Lian's reply.

“Is it too late for me to resign now?”

Hearing Du Lian's words, Ming Wei burst out laughing, "Hahaha... It's too late. I was the one who pushed Qi Fei to you. For Qi Fei's sake, please help me one more time."

Du Lian couldn't refuse Ming Weiyi, either for personal or professional reasons. He jokingly said, "How could I say I'd help? You and President Pei are both my bosses. You two make the decisions."

"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person, but I can help you win Qi Fei's heart."

Ming Wei also said that this statement was more like a deal, a deal that would entice Du Lian.

Upon hearing Ming Weiyi's words, Du Lian's lips indeed curled into a smile. "This is what you said, Miss. If you can't do it, I'll really resign."

Ming Wei could indeed guarantee that she could accomplish this. Originally, she and Qi Fei were playing the role of Du Lian in concert, but Du Lian was kept in the dark and didn't know it.

Was it Ming Weiyi's bad idea to let Du Lian fully embody the role of boyfriend in his mind?

In the lobby, Qi Fei recognized the people from the sales department. She exchanged a few polite greetings with them, her gaze sweeping around as if searching for someone.

The sales department staff are all shrewd people. With Du Lian passing by first and Qi Fei coming out and looking around, plus the rumors about the two of them circulating in the company, how could the sales department staff not guess that Qi Fei came out to find Du Lian?

"Feifei, I just saw Assistant Du head that way. Why don't you go look for him there?"

After the saleswoman finished speaking, she pointed with her hand, a smile of schadenfreude on her face.

Qi Fei immediately denied it, saying, "Who said I was looking for him? I just came out for some fresh air."

"So... are the rumors circulating in the company recently true?" Another saleswoman looked at Qi Fei with curiosity.

"Yeah, are you and Assistant Du a couple or not?" The first girl to speak asked Qi Fei.

"Same question. A friend of mine has some feelings for you. If you and Assistant Du are really a couple, I'll tell him today so he can give up."

Just as the man finished speaking, Du Lian happened to walk out of the emergency exit, and he overheard what the man had said.

Qi Fei did catch a glimpse of Du Lian out of the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to see him at all.

Such a great opportunity came so suddenly, Qi Fei was determined to seize it.

She smiled calmly, "Assistant Du and I are really not a couple. President Pei has made a mistake. We just have a pretty good relationship." Hearing Qi Fei deny her relationship with Du Lian, the man's face showed an amused smile, "So, my buddy still has a chance?"

Du Lian was very unhappy to hear Qi Fei deny their relationship again, especially since he had also heard that other men were interested in Qi Fei.

"What opportunity? Tell me about it."

Du Lian walked towards the crowd, his brows furrowed and his expression showing displeasure.

The scene became somewhat awkward, and everyone could clearly sense Du Lian's displeasure.

Qi Fei remained calm and composed. She glanced at the entrance of the lecture hall and said to Du Lian, "Assistant Du, you represent President Pei. They must be waiting for you to return to the hall."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Go inside first, and I'll have a good talk with you tonight." After saying that, Du Lian walked towards the door of the venue.

If it weren't for important business, Du Lian would have liked to have a serious talk with Qi Fei right now; he really wanted to ask her what she was thinking.

However, Du Lian's words, "I'll see you again tonight," were ambiguous.

Even though Qi Fei just denied her relationship with Du Lian, Du Lian's words and attitude made people suspect that Qi Fei was lying.

As soon as Du Lian left, the saleswoman immediately shook her head with a mischievous smile, "Something's not right, something's definitely not right between you two."

Qi Fei didn't offer any explanation now; she had already achieved her goal, and she was just waiting for Du Lian to come to her tonight.

Amidst the bustling traffic, the sky gradually darkened. Inside the large, single-level apartment by the river, not a single light was on, and it was remarkably quiet.

Filled with anticipation for her birthday present, Mingwei couldn't wait to go home.

When she opened the door, star-shaped yellow fluorescent lights lit up on both sides of the floor, and the path she walked to the living room was covered with pink rose petals.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, the crystal chandelier lit up, and before her eyes, the coffee table was filled with pink roses. In the corner facing Ming Weiyi, the roses cascaded down to the floor like a waterfall.

Her gaze was drawn to the mountain of gift boxes piled up in front of the French windows. Stepping over the rose petals that filled the room, Mingwei walked up to the gift boxes.

Each gift comes in a different colored box, tied with a matching lace bow. Above the bow, balloons of the same color float in the air, creating a dreamy effect.

It has to be said that the surprise Pei Ming prepared truly satisfied Ming Weiyi's girlish heart; she was very excited and happy.

"Wife, these are the nineteen birthday gifts I prepared for you." Pei Mingjing quietly appeared behind Ming Weiyi and gently hugged her from behind.

Mingwei tilted her head and looked at Pei Ming, "Why are there nineteen portions?"

“We met when we were almost ten years old. It’s a pity that today is the first time I’m celebrating your birthday, so I’m making up for the gifts I gave you every year from when you were ten until now. I hope I can be with you for every birthday from now on.”

As soon as Pei Ming finished speaking, Ming Weiyi's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She was truly moved by what Pei Ming had just said.

"Husband, I love you so much!" Ming Wei said, turning to Pei Ming and hugging him tightly.

Hearing what Ming Weiyi said, Pei Ming hugged Ming Weiyi even tighter with joy and happiness.

In Pei Ming's arms, Ming Wei suddenly remembered that Pei Ming's birthday was March 28th. So the four numbers 3128 on Pei Ming's phone lock screen were actually her birthday plus Pei Ming's birthday!
It turns out that Pei Ming had been intentionally connecting the two of them all along!
