Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 45 Even if she had fallen for him
The sound of high heels was getting closer and closer. Pei Ming raised his head slightly, and sure enough, the person in front of him was Ming Weiyi.

This glance met Ming Weiyi's gaze. In Ming Weiyi's eyes, the moonlight was soft, and Pei Ming casually leaned against the car window waiting for her. Coupled with the effects of the alcohol in her head, Ming Weiyi suddenly felt that Pei Ming looked really attractive.

In that instant, Mingwei could clearly feel her heartbeat quicken.

"I didn't expect you to get out so quickly." After saying this, Pei Ming gentlemanly opened the car door for Ming Weiyi.

"Why did you come to pick me up?" To suppress her racing heart, Ming Wei didn't dare to look at Pei Ming.

"I'm worried about you, a girl, going home alone in the middle of the night after drinking."

Pei Ming's voice was very soft and gentle, but Ming Wei heard it clearly as she walked past him and got into the car.

The words "I don't trust you" made Ming Weiyi's heart pound again. She took a deep breath and told herself that she must have been drinking too much today.

After Pei Ming got into the car and sat next to Ming Weiyi, Du Lian started the engine after confirming that both of them were seated.

For some reason, Mingwei felt uneasy with Pei Ming sitting next to her today, and she felt her face getting hotter and her chest getting tighter.

Subconsciously, Mingwei opened the car window, and the cold wind blowing in from outside immediately eased her tension.

There was no traffic congestion at night, and Ming Weiyi's address was not far from Tang Ying's. Before long, the car drove into the underground parking lot.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Pei Ming quickly opened the door and got out. He then walked around the front of the car to Ming Weiyi's side.

Mingwei knew they had arrived. She reached out and opened the car door, but her head felt heavy, and she wondered why she was suddenly so dizzy.

Pei Ming opened the car door for Ming Weiyi by the car window. Just as Ming Weiyi got out of the car and was about to walk away, she suddenly felt her legs go weak and she almost couldn't stand up.

Fortunately, Pei Ming reacted quickly and instinctively grabbed Ming Weiyi, pulling her into his arms.

Du Lian caught a glimpse of Pei Ming quickly embracing Ming Weiyi in the rearview mirror. He chuckled to himself and thought: Beautiful!

The air suddenly fell silent. Ming Weiyi's face was pressed against Pei Ming's chest, and Pei Ming's arms naturally wrapped around Ming Weiyi's waist. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest.

This was the first time Pei Ming had held Ming Weiyi so intimately, so his heart was naturally racing. However, before Ming Weiyi could react, he pretended to be calm and casually picked her up in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Ming Weiyi sobered up instantly, but she didn't intend to break free from Pei Ming.

“You can’t even stand properly, and you’re wearing high heels. Of course I want you to get home safely. What if you twist your ankle?” Pei Ming said logically and calmly.

It only takes a minute to get from the elevator to his doorstep. For the first time, Pei Ming wished that time inside the elevator could slow down.

Once inside the house, Pei Ming gently put Ming Weiyi down, and Ming Weiyi quickly changed into her slippers and took a couple of steps forward.

"It's getting late, I'm going to wash up and go to bed." Ming Wei was also focused on making her way out; she needed to quickly take a shower to calm herself down.

Seeing Ming Wei hurriedly running away, Pei Ming's lips curled into a smile. Could she be shy?
At 12:30 a.m., Ming Wei finally lay down on her fragrant and soft bed, but her head still felt very heavy and even a little hot.

She suddenly remembered what Tang Ying had told her: not to be exposed to the wind after drinking that glass of wine, but she had been exposed to the evening wind all the way home.

Oh my god! No wonder my head feels so uncomfortable and I feel dizzy. It's all my fault for not listening to Tang Ying!

However, is it because I drank alcohol today that I have different feelings for Pei Ming?
Thinking about the overwhelming feelings she had for Pei Ming that evening, and the moment he embraced her, Ming Weiyi's face burned even hotter. To suppress her emotions and the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Ming Weiyi began to reassure herself: Pei Ming is my legal husband, so it's perfectly natural for me to have feelings for him! Pei Ming is so outstanding, it's only reasonable for me to be attracted to him! There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!
I am destined to have no sleep tonight...

on Monday
Every Monday, the roads are exceptionally congested, and many people drive very fast in order not to be late.

At the traffic light intersection, Qi Fei unfortunately got stuck just as the light was changing. She was already a little annoyed, but then the car suddenly banged.

"Holy crap! How could I run into that?!"

Qi Fei opened the driver's side door with a look of disgust, along with the driver of the car behind.

The driver of the car behind knew it was his fault, and he quickly apologized to Qi Fei: "Beautiful lady, I'm so sorry! I couldn't stop in time! I'm really sorry."

The other party's sincere apology immediately calmed Qi Fei down by half. She bent down and carefully examined the rear of the car for any damage.

The impact was very light; there were no scratches on the rear of the car, only a faint mark.

"Forget it, everyone's in a hurry. Just be more careful at traffic lights next time," Qi Fei said, preparing to return to her driver's seat.

There were many cars on the road in the morning, and Qi Fei knew that parking her car on the road would affect the people behind her. Her car was fine, so she decided to leave it.

"Beautiful lady, I'm really sorry. How about we add each other on WeChat? I'll treat you to a coffee as an apology."

The man in front of her was very nice and seemed quite honest. Qi Fei waved her hand and said, "Never mind, be careful on the road."

Although the minor collision didn't affect the car much, it made Qi Fei miss two green lights, and with the traffic even worse ahead, she was destined to be late again today.

On the first floor of the Ming Group building, since she was already late, Qi Fei calmly walked into the elevator. After the rush hour, she was the only one in the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, but the next second, someone pressed the button to open them again from the outside.

When their eyes met, Du Lian stepped into the elevator, his gaze seeming to say: It's you again.

"Good morning, Assistant Du." Qi Fei really regretted not hurrying up earlier, so she wouldn't have run into Du Lian again when she was late.

Du Lian glanced at the watch on his left wrist with feigned seriousness, "It is quite early."

"I had a reason for being late today. There was a small accident on the way, which is why I was late." Du Lian's imposing presence as the president's assistant made Qi Fei quickly explain the reason for her lateness.

"I don't care about these things, you don't need to explain to me."

"So you mean you'll pretend you never saw me?" A hint of expectation flashed in Qi Fei's eyes.

"Ah."

"You're such a kind person!"

Du Lian didn't take Qi Fei's lateness seriously at all; besides, she was the young lady's friend.
