Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 34 This man is somewhat handsome

After Ouyang Xin said that, Yan Jie and Ming Hui were actually hoping that Pei Ming would change his mind, but they respected Pei Ming's opinion.

Ming Chengze glanced at Ouyang Xin a few more times, his eyes seeming to say: If you can talk, then talk more; if you can't, then don't talk nonsense.

He could sense that Pei Ming and Ming Wei both felt a little awkward when Ouyang Xin spoke.

But actually, Pei Ming's embarrassment was simply that he had only ever been used to calling Pei Jianhua and Wen Lan "Mom and Dad" since he was a child, and had never tried calling anyone else "Mom and Dad" in all these years.

As for Ming Weiyi, her embarrassment was simple: she just felt that everything had happened too fast. Pei Ming suddenly changed his tune today, so should she also change her tune when facing the Pei family couple?
Ouyang Xin has already put Pei Ming in a difficult position by saying all this. If he refuses now, the Ming couple might think that he doesn't consider himself their son-in-law.

Besides, there's no difference between changing our tune now and changing it later.

"Dad, Mom..." Pei Ming mentally prepared himself and finally addressed Ming Weiyi's parents differently.

Pei Ming's sudden change of heart made Ming Wei's heart skip a beat again. She hadn't expected that Pei Ming would actually listen to what Ouyang Xin said.

Unlike Mingwei, Pei Ming's calling out "Dad" and "Mom" delighted Minghui and Yanjie.

"Wow... that's a really nice way to say 'Mom'." Yan Jie couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay...okay..." Minghui nodded with a smile.

Ming Chengze didn't expect Pei Ming to actually change his mind at this moment. "Pei Ming is really amazing. With just two words, he can make Dad and Mom so happy they're practically rolling on the floor."

Yan Jie immediately glared at the spoilsport Ming Chengze, "You're such a grown man, don't you have any manners? Don't you know how to call him brother-in-law? Look how polite and well-behaved Xinxin is!"

“Exactly, your brother-in-law is at least three or four years older than you, can’t you be a little more polite?” Ouyang Xin said, poking Ming Chengze’s head with her finger.

Two minutes ago, Ouyang Xin put Pei Ming in a difficult position, but now it's Ming Chengze's turn to be in the spotlight. However, Pei Ming knows that Ming Chengze won't easily change his mind about him.

Only when Ming Chengze completely accepts in his heart that he is Ming Weiyi's husband will he call Pei Ming "brother-in-law".

"What would you two like to eat? Let's go out for dinner together later."

Pei Ming suddenly asked a question unrelated to the topic, thus helping Ming Chengze out of the awkward situation.

"The food outside isn't healthy. All of you are coming home for dinner today. I'll have Aunt Wu prepare dinner properly." After saying this, Yan Jie picked up her phone from the bedside table and made a call.

Everyone present, including Ming Chengze, knew that Pei Ming was unwilling to argue with Ming Chengze and had always been very tolerant of him.

"Can Aunt Wu make lotus root and pork rib soup? Aunt Wu's lotus root and pork rib soup is so delicious!" Ouyang Xin's eyes were full of anticipation, and her longing for the food had already made her start ordering.

Ouyang Xin's adorable appearance made Ming Chengze reach out and ruffle her hair. "You little glutton, all you ever do is eat..."

Seeing Ming Chengze and Ouyang Xin's affectionate relationship, Pei Ming felt a little envious. He wondered when he and Ming Weiyi could be like that.

On Mondays, traffic congestion has become the norm, with vehicles moving along major roads and ring roads in dense, slow-moving numbers, like ants carrying food.

Ming Group
On the first floor, those who swiped their name tags at the last minute hurriedly ran towards the elevator.

With work time fast approaching and the prospect of being late, Qi Fei sprinted towards the elevator.

However, just as she reached the elevator at the corner, the elevator doors slowly began to close.

"Wait!" Qi Fei shouted reflexively.

The shout worked; the elevator doors slowly opened again. From Qi Fei's perspective, she saw a man in a black suit press the button to open the elevator door for her.

"Thank you... thank you!" Qi Fei ran into the elevator as fast as she could and politely thanked the man in the black suit.

"You're welcome."

From the elevator door, Qi Fei could see the man standing right behind her, and she took a closer look at his appearance.

From the moment the elevator doors opened, Qi Fei thought the man in front of her was quite handsome.

Why does he look so familiar? Like I've seen him in the last few days, but do we even have anyone like him in our company?

There aren't many people who would enter the elevator at this hour, so there weren't many people inside. Du Lian naturally saw Qi Fei staring at him through the elevator doors.

"Are you trying to ask which department I'm from? I don't look familiar to you." Du Lian could guess what Qi Fei was thinking from her expression.

"Uh...yes." Qi Fei was so embarrassed she wanted to jump out of the elevator. She saw the man standing behind her looking at her through the elevator door.

"I'm President Pei's assistant, Du Lian," Du Lian introduced himself briefly to Qi Fei.

Holy crap! I actually ran into President Pei's assistant right when I was late! What was I thinking?!

Since Du Lian had already introduced himself, Qi Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn to look at him. "Hello, Assistant Du."

Please, sir, don't ask me which department I'm from!

Qi Fei had just finished her prayer when the elevator dinged and opened. She stepped out of the elevator as if she were in a hurry.

The distance from the first floor to the fifteenth floor was really far for Qi Fei today!

However, without Qi Fei saying much, Du Lian could tell from the floor she just stepped off the elevator that she was from the planning department.

Miss Ming's department is pretty good; another stunning beauty just appeared.

Planning Department 1

It was time for work, and Qi Fei quietly slipped away to her workstation and sat down.

If Qi Fei didn't tell Ming Weiyi about the person she had just met, she felt she would suffocate. So she coughed lightly to make Ming Weiyi look in her direction.

"What?" Ming Wei asked casually.

"I had a really good idea today, I ran into President Pei's assistant just when I was late." Qi Fei's voice was soft, but her facial expressions were still very rich.

"So what? He doesn't even know you. Besides, why would he bother with such trivial matters?"

Du Lianming and Wei Yi knew that apart from doing things for Pei Ming, he didn't care about anything else.

“That makes sense. A man like him wouldn’t be so gossipy, telling President Pei such trivial things.” Qi Fei felt that Ming Weiyi’s words made sense, and she immediately felt much more at ease.

"Next time you're late, try to avoid him, or he might remember you." Ming Weiyi finished speaking and secretly smiled.

Qi Fei withdrew her gaze from Ming Weiyi and said nonchalantly, "Tch, I don't believe my ideas are that bad!"
