Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 85 You just wait!

Around 7 p.m., just as day turns to night, the clouds on the horizon are dyed a bluish-black by the sky.

In the spacious and bright dining room of the Ming family mansion, the atmosphere became much more cheerful and lively with the addition of Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming today.

"Pei Ming, how's things at the company lately?"

The meal was coming to an end. Minghui had a special diet due to his special circumstances, but sitting at the table and listening to his family chat was still very pleasant.

In response to Yan Jie's question, Pei Ming replied, "Everything is fine at the company, so you and Dad can rest assured."

"Of course I trust you. It's only Weiwei and Chengze who give me trouble." Yan Jie's words were very fair. Ming Weiyi's marriage and Ming Chengze's studies both caused her a lot of worry.

“Speaking of troublesome, Weiwei is indeed a bit.” In front of Yan Jie, Pei Ming decided to play a trick on her.

Who made Yan Jie, Ming Weiyi's biological mother, able to suppress her so effortlessly?

Sitting next to Pei Ming, Ming Wei was completely bewildered. "What's wrong with me? How have I caused you any trouble?"

This was the first time Yan Jie and Ming Hui had heard Pei Ming speak ill of Ming Weiyi; Pei Ming had always been very protective of Ming Weiyi before.

Therefore, Yan Jie and Ming Hui were very curious about what had happened that Pei Ming was referring to as causing trouble.

"You and I have already registered our marriage, but everyone thinks you're still single. People who are pursuing you are sending you flowers to your office."

After saying this, Pei Ming pretended that this was exactly what you asked me to say.

It turned out that Pei Ming's worries stemmed from Ming Weiyi's troublesome romantic relationships, and Yan Jie indeed put on a stern face.

"I really have to say something to you about this. Is there a conflict between being the eldest daughter of the Ming family and having a boyfriend?"

"No." Ming Wei also shook her head honestly.

"Since there's no conflict, just openly tell others that you already have a marriage partner, and that way they won't bother you anymore."

Minghui nodded repeatedly at Yan Jie's words, as he shared the same sentiment regarding Pei Ming's accusations today.

"I already told everyone today that I have a fiancé." Ming Weiyi said, giving Pei Ming a knowing look that said, "You just wait."

You, Pei Ming! You actually complained about me in front of my parents. You just wanted them to teach me a lesson, didn't you?
"That's more like it!" Yan Jie was fairly satisfied with Ming Weiyi's answer, and her previously stern face looked a little more relaxed.

Similarly, Pei Ming was also very satisfied with Ming Weiyi's answer. The discarded flowers and what Ming Weiyi had just said told Pei Ming that she had completely rejected the man who sent her the flowers.

However, Ming Weiyi's little glance just now was already a reminder to Pei Ming that as soon as he left the Ming family, Ming Weiyi would definitely kill him!

C城

It was almost dark when the neon lights on the streets came on, officially announcing the arrival of nighttime life.

Pei Cheng was already exhausted after a busy day at the company, and now he had to deal with Xu Ling and her illegitimate child.

Following Pei Cheng's gaze, Xu Ling and her son were already waiting at the entrance of a restaurant with a relatively good level of privacy.

"Dad...Dad..."

Upon seeing Pei Cheng, Xu Jinghao happily ran towards him and then grabbed Pei Cheng's leg.

"Daddy...hug...hug..."

Pei Cheng knew in his heart that for a child to be so capable, it must be because Xu Ling taught him, but the child in front of him was still his son.

Seeing that Pei Cheng remained unmoved, Xu Ling walked up to him with a pitiful expression. "Haohao has never known what it feels like to be held in his father's arms since he was born. He's just a child who doesn't understand anything. Before we leave, can't you hold him for a moment?"

Pei Cheng was finally swayed by his son's simple needs and Xu Ling's words. He bent down and gently picked up Xu Jinghao.

The next second, Xu Jinghao reached out and quickly wrapped his arms around Pei Cheng's neck, then happily kissed Pei Cheng's cheek.

"dad……"

Xu Jinghao's kisses and his soft, sweet voice were irresistible to Pei Cheng, and his expressionless face eventually broke into a gentle smile.

"Haohao is such a good boy..." Pei Cheng said, and he couldn't help but affectionately raise his hand to rub Xu Jinghao's head.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ling smiled with satisfaction. She knew that Pei Cheng would definitely not be able to resist his own son's sweet talk.

If Pei Cheng spends a few more days with his son, Xu Jinghao will have a greater chance of staying in the Pei family. As a result, the Pei family will definitely be in chaos.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Cheng and Xu Ling had brought Xu Jinghao to the dining table. Pei Cheng was there to discuss business, not to reminisce, so he promptly settled Xu Jinghao into a baby chair.

“Pei Cheng, do you know that when Hao Hao and I are outside, he always asks me where his dad is and when he can be with his dad?”

Xu Ling deliberately used Xu Jinghao to play the family card, speaking in a gentle tone, much like a loving mother.

"I know what you mean, but I just want to tell you that I will not keep the child with me." Pei Cheng could guess Xu Ling's tactics, so he chose to confront her directly.

“I don’t want a single penny. I just want Hao Hao to have a complete family and a bright future.”

"You don't actually want my wife to raise your child for you, do you?" Pei Cheng's eyes clearly conveyed the message that Xu Ling shouldn't even think about it.

Xu Ling didn't take Pei Cheng's gaze seriously at all. She smiled and looked at Pei Cheng, asking, "My request isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Impossible. I promised her, and I will never let you or this child appear in front of her again." Pei Cheng's attitude was resolute, clearly leaving no room for negotiation.

"Don't wealthy wives usually turn a blind eye? She wouldn't be so petty as to not even tolerate one child, would she?" Xu Ling said, then calmly picked up the lemon tea on the table and took a sip.

When Xu Ling said that Tong Ziyan was stingy, Pei Cheng defended her, saying, "She's not out of her mind, why would she raise someone else's child?"

"You seem quite protective of her. Don't tell me you had feelings for her during your marriage?"

When Xu Ling asked that question, she was filled with resentment.

"Why not?"

"I'm really curious, since you two have feelings for each other, why hasn't she given you a son or daughter after two years of marriage?"

Since Xu Ling was able to give birth to Pei Cheng's child, it means that Pei Cheng is fine. She is now deliberately trying to imply that Tong Ziyan might have a physical problem.

"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm here today to tell you that I will pay Hao Hao's child support, and you must take him away from here."

Pei Cheng felt it unnecessary to tell Xu Ling, an unrelated person, about the matter between Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan.

"Are you really so heartless as to abandon Hao Hao?" After talking for so long, Xu Ling didn't see Pei Cheng waver in the slightest.

"Yes, give me an answer as soon as possible regarding how much money you want. I don't have the patience to waste any more time with you."

In Xu Ling's view, after Pei Cheng finished saying those heartless words, he got up and left the mother and son without any hesitation.

As soon as Pei Cheng left, Xu Ling's eyes, which had been gentle and tender just moments before, were now filled with hatred and resentment.
