Beijing Colors Lingering

The next morning, a sliver of light pierced through the clouds. A light drizzle had fallen the day before, and a gentle breeze carried a misty haze.

Zhou Yancong's biological alarm clock rang on time. He lazily opened his eyes and saw a peaceful and beautiful sleeping face.

Shen Jinsui's neck rested in his arm, her exposed skin was snow-white and delicate, with a faint rose color, as if it were coated with a natural pearl-like luster.

Her long, black, curly hair was scattered on the pillow, with a few stray strands falling on her smooth, fair forehead.

Zhou Yancong immediately lay down on his side, affectionately kissed her cheek, and carefully used his fingers to tuck the stray hairs on her forehead behind her ear.

After a long while, Shen Jinsui woke up. Before she even opened her eyes, she instinctively snuggled close to Zhou Yancong, draping her arms and legs over him and pressing her face against his chest.

Zhou Yancong naturally put his arm around Shen Jinsui's shoulder, and his other arm rested on her side waist as he carefully turned her over to lie flat.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jinsui clung to Zhou Yancong like an octopus.

The man's body was tall and slender, with firm and strong muscles in his arms and legs, which made Shen Jinsui, who was already tall, appear somewhat petite.

Shen Jinsui buried her face in his neck, her lips pressed against his skin, and asked him indistinctly, "What time is it now?"

Her light and clear voice carried a slight hoarseness and softness, as if she had just woken up.

Zhou Yancong gently rubbed the back of her fluffy head and replied softly, "It's just 9:30."

Shen Jinsui nuzzled Zhou Yancong's neck, feeling a little uncomfortable from the pressure on her chest. She turned slightly to the side and mumbled softly, "I want to sleep a little longer. Wake me up in an hour."

"Okay." Zhou Yanzong gently stroked her back.

Shen Jinsui could hear the clarity in the man's voice, and knew that he must have woken up long ago.

The two fell asleep at the same time last night. Zhou Yancong was as energetic as ever, while she felt tired and weak.

Shen Jinsui gave Zhou Yancong a light bite and scolded him with great dissatisfaction: "Zhou Yancong, you big liar, you always verbally promise me that you will be more restrained next time, but you have never kept your word."

Apart from this incident, Zhou Yancong would always accommodate her, which made her feel helpless.

Hearing this, Zhou Yancong felt a little guilty. He gently patted her back and coaxed her softly, "Baby, I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Shen Jinsui snorted and ignored Zhou Yancong, secretly thinking that she must think of a good way to deal with him next time.

A moment later, Zhou Yancong gently turned Shen Jinsui to her side, making her more comfortable to sleep in.

Shen Jinsui shifted her body slightly, casually adjusting her sleeping position, finding a comfortable spot in his arms, and continued to close her eyes and sleep.

After Shen Jinsui woke up again, Zhou Yancong carried her out of bed and into the bathroom.

After a while, Shen Jinsui finished washing up and sat in front of the dressing mirror to apply skincare products.

After Shen Jinsui finished her skincare routine, Zhou Yancong took a pair of socks and walked to her side. He slowly turned her chair so that it faced him, and then knelt down on one knee.

Zhou Yancong held Shen Jinsui's feet and placed them on his lap, then put on her socks one by one.

Although the indoor temperature is kept comfortable, it is, after all, winter.

Shen Jinsui has been staying at Jingsheng Manor for the past few days. Zhou Yancong noticed that she likes to walk barefoot on the carpet and was worried that she would get sick, so he would help her put on socks every day.

Shen Jinsui was already used to Zhou Yancong's meticulous service. She lowered her eyes to watch his movements and saw him swing his feet after putting on her socks.

Zhou Yancong held Shen Jinsui's ankles, kissed her knees, then stood up, bent down, picked her up, and carried her out of the room.

"I'm not a child anymore. Put me down and let me walk by myself. You don't have to carry me all the time."

Shen Jinsui casually raised her hand and wrapped it around Zhou Yancong's neck, speaking in a soft voice.

Zhou Yancong carried her into the elevator and calmly said, "But I want to hold you."

"Whatever you want," Shen Jinsui said with a helpless smile.

In the afternoon, several staff members delivered a haute couture dress and jewelry.

The two are going to attend a charity auction dinner next Saturday, and Zhou Yancong specially instructed people to prepare a dress and jewelry for Shen Jinsui a few days ago.

Shen Jinsui looked at the dress on the mannequin. It was a new evening dress from the top haute couture brand. It had only appeared in magazines so far and was limited to three pieces worldwide. The dress she wore to her birthday party was also from this brand.

When Zhou Yancong had her measurements taken a few days ago, she guessed that the man was going to send her a dress. She didn't expect the man to have such good taste.

After a while, Shen Jinsui changed into a formal dress.

She stood in front of a huge floor-length mirror, while several designers stood beside her carefully checking the size of the dress to see if it needed alterations.

Shen Jinsui's gaze fell upon the full-length mirror, where she wore a champagne-colored evening gown with a clever fishtail design that accentuated her perfect curves.

The dress's fabric shimmered, its hem was flowing and light, and its length reached the heels, making it sparkle under the lights.

Exquisite diamond shoulder straps hang on the shoulders, and the chest features a shallow V-neck design with intricate and gorgeous embroidery, revealing glimpses of the full, snow-white breasts.

Her seaweed-like black curly hair cascaded down her chest, revealing her fair and slender neck, as delicate as a swan's, and her exquisite and sexy collarbone.

Even without makeup, she still looked stunning in her gorgeous evening gown.

After the designer left the room, Zhou Yancong carefully helped Shen Jinsui put on her jewelry one by one.

Shen Jinsui's lips curved into a smile, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes seemed to hold a dazzling light.

Her gaze then fell upon the mirror, where she wore a pure emerald necklace that shone brilliantly, and diamond tassel earrings dangled from her earlobes.

"Like it?"

Zhou Yancong asked her, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Yes, I like it very much. You have good taste."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly. Her voice was light and melodious, like the clinking of jade stones.

Zhou Yancong smiled warmly, hugged Shen Jinsui from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you for the compliment, baby." Zhou Yancong's deep, mellow voice was captivating, and a faint smile played on his lips.

Shen Jinsui turned around in Zhou Yancong's arms, raised her hand to hug his waist, pressed her forehead against his chest, and felt his steady and powerful heartbeat up close.

Zhou Yancong pulled Shen Jinsui closer to his chest and gently stroked the back of her round head.

Then, Shen Jinsui took off her dress.

She returned to her room on the top floor, put on some light makeup, and then drove with Zhou Yancong to the Cheng family's old residence.

Cheng Su and Kang Yiqi were very happy to see them come, their faces full of loving expressions.

Zhou Yancong greeted the two elders politely, and then instructed someone to bring a pile of gifts to the hall.

After a long while, dinner ended, and Shen Jinsui led Zhou Yancong to the Ferris wheel outside the main building.

When the carriage reached its highest point, the two embraced each other intimately.

In the quiet of the night, the lights of thousands of homes shone like a galaxy of stars.

The night view of Beijing is bustling and vibrant, with dazzling neon lights and a panoramic view.
