Beijing Colors Lingering

After a long while, night fell and the city lights came on.

Uncle Zhang drove them to the Mingyi Hotel. They took the elevator directly to the top floor and entered Zhou Yancong's private suite.

Zhou Yancong learned that Shen Jinsui was meeting with her friends this afternoon, so he suggested that everyone have dinner together in the evening, and Shen Jinsui naturally agreed to his arrangement.

Shen Jinsui entered the suite and saw Ye Jinwen, He Sinian, Xu Tingzhou, Qi Mingyuan and Qi Minglang were also in the private room.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui was pulled into a warm embrace.

She looked up at Zhou Yancong, her eyes crinkling, and her voice clear and pleasant: "When did you get here?"

Zhou Yancong lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her lips, replying softly, "About ten minutes ago."

Shen Jinsui reached out and hugged Zhou Yancong's waist, rubbing her cheek against his chest. Then, remembering that there were other people in the private room, she gently pushed him away.

The next moment, Shen Jinsui saw He Zhenzhen and the others' teasing smiles, and her expression immediately turned shy.

Zhou Yancong calmly took Shen Jinsui's hand and they walked together toward the restaurant.

After greeting each other, everyone took their seats.

At this moment, in the huge room, everyone was sitting at a large dining table.

Xu Tingzhou slowly raised his eyelids and glanced around, raising an eyebrow before leaning closer to Qi Minglang with a gossipy look on his face. "I discovered that they are actually four couples. How sweet!"

Qi Minglang glanced at the others present and said calmly, "My brother, that idiot, hasn't even started pursuing He Zhenzhen yet, so the two of them don't count."

"Anyway, they can be considered a couple in a way." Xu Tingzhou looked somewhat speechless, placing his hand on his shoulder. "In short, the two of us here are the only pure singles."

"I'm just single, you're the dog." Qi Minglang pushed his hand away expressionlessly.

Xu Tingzhou glanced at him with disdain, leaned back lazily in his seat, and complained, "Old-fashioned, doesn't understand humor."

After a long while, dinner ended.

The group left the hotel one after another by car, and soon only He Zhenzhen, Qiao Yunshu, Qi Mingyuan and He Sinian remained.

Before getting into the car, He Zhenzhen whispered to He Sinian, "Uncle, remember to take my future aunt home."

"I've told you before, as a junior, you shouldn't always meddle in the affairs of your elders." After saying that, He Sinian pushed her into the back seat of the car and told the driver that he could start the vehicle.

He Zhenzhen glared at him, then angrily slammed the car door shut.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Mingyuan walked to the other side of the car door with remarkable ease, and the driver opened the rear door upon seeing this.

Qi Mingyuan got into the back seat of the car, and the driver then opened the driver's side door.

Qi Mingyuan and He Zhenzhen live in the same villa area. He didn't drive here, but rode in his brother's car. He had no intention of calling his driver to pick him up.

Seeing the driver get into the car, He Sinian waved to signal him to drive.

At this moment, Qiao Yunshu looked at He Sinian and asked curiously, "When will your driver come to pick you up?"

He Sinian curled his lips and said lazily, "Since no driver is here to pick me up, can I ride back in your car?"

Qiao Yunshu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly, "Yes, that's fine."

It was just a side thing, and she had no reason to refuse.

He Sinian smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qiao Yunshu gave a polite and courteous smile.

He Sinian did not rush to get into the car, but quietly watched Qiao Yunshu.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice steady and powerful: "Qiao Yunshu, I forgot to tell you about my past relationships the other day. I had two girlfriends before, but neither relationship lasted long. I didn't have deep feelings for either of them, and we broke up peacefully in the end. I had no contact with them afterward."

After she finished speaking, Qiao Yunshu nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, she decided to talk about her past relationships: "Well, I only had one boy I liked, but for some reasons, we didn't end up dating."

He Sinian's lips still curved into a smile as he continued, "If you find someone you like in the future, or if you want to break off our engagement, you can just tell me. I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Qiao Yunshu pondered for a few seconds and replied, "Okay, you too."

"Ah."

He Sinian then walked to the car, opened the back door, and gestured for Qiao Yunshu to sit in the back seat.

"Thank you." Qiao Yunshu bent down and climbed into the carriage.

"You're welcome." He Sinian raised his hand and carefully protected the top of her head.

Qiao Yunshu noticed He Sinian's extremely gentlemanly behavior, and a gentle smile involuntarily curved her lips.

The following afternoon, the He family and the Qiao family simultaneously announced the date of He Sinian and Qiao Yunshu's engagement banquet.
