Beijing Colors Lingering

After turning around and seeing who it was, Shen Jinsui couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Today, it was all because of Zhou Yancong that Su Yuxin treated her as a potential enemy and was inexplicably targeted by him.

Zhou Yancong glanced at Su Yuxin lying on the ground, his eyes flashing with intense disgust.

When he noticed a white bottle, his expression suddenly turned sinister and violent.

Why is this woman appearing in front of him again?

There must be something harmful inside this bottle.

Is she planning to harm Shen Jinsui?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yancong looked at Shen Jinsui, his expression softening, and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright? What did this madman do to you?"

Shen Jinsui scoffed, glanced at Su Yuxin who was looking down, and said sarcastically, "How could I possibly be in trouble? She doesn't have the ability to do anything to me. She tried to hit my friend just now, so I slapped her."

Then she added, "Zhou Yancong, your bad luck with women is really something. I've been dragged into this mess by you for no reason today."

Zhou Yancong carefully examined Shen Jinsui and, seeing that she was alright, immediately felt relieved.

Zhou Yancong immediately felt apologetic and assured her in a low, gentle voice, "It's all my fault. This will never happen again."

He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu both recognized the man as Zhou Yancong. Judging from his interaction with Sui Sui, the two must have known each other for some time.

Their gossip instincts suddenly ignited, and they wanted to ask Shen Jinsui right now what was going on.

Zhou Yancong glanced at Su Yuxin and coldly ordered the bodyguard standing beside him, "Throw her out and call Yan Ze to handle it."

"Yes, boss."

Then, the bodyguard who had been following Zhou Yancong quickly stepped forward, picked up the medicine bottle, and dragged him away.

Su Yuxin's face turned ashen, and she bit her lip hard, only now truly feeling regret.

She shouldn't have been so arrogant and tried to seduce Zhou Yancong, and she shouldn't have come to Shen Jinsui today to indulge in a moment of verbal sparring and even tried to do something to her.

At this moment, Ye Jinwen and Xu Tingzhou strolled over here.

Ye Jinwen raised an eyebrow and immediately saw Shen Jinsui, recognizing her as the little girl who had captured Zhou Yancong's heart last time.

It really does take a stunningly beautiful woman like this to make the cold-faced Buddhist monk break his vows.

Upon seeing them approach, Zhou Yancong briefly introduced them to Shen Jinsui: "These are my friends, Ye Jinwen and Xu Tingzhou."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly and introduced the two people beside her to Zhou Yancong: "He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu, they are my good sisters."

Xu Tingzhou looked at He Zhenzhen and felt that she looked familiar. He asked uncertainly, "Are you He Sinian's niece?"

He Zhenzhen smiled and nodded, saying, "Mm."

She recognized the people in front of her; she had met them before. They were all her uncle's friends.

Those present were not surprised, after all, they were all people in this circle.

Zhou Yancong looked at Shen Jinsui and asked, "Are you getting ready to go home now? I'll take you back to Yujingyuan."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded.

Then, she looked at He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu, both of whom had gossipy and puzzled expressions.

Shen Jinsui knew they were curious, so she said softly, "It's a long story, I'll tell you in person in a few days."

He Zhenzhen winked at her, her tone teasing: "Okay, I'll wait until you reveal the answer."

Qiao Yunshu took a step toward Shen Jinsui and whispered jokingly, "Suisui, you and Zhou Yancong look like a perfect match."

Shen Jinsui: "..."

Zhou Yancong has always had excellent hearing, and he can hear everything even when they deliberately lower their voices.

He smiled smugly, agreeing with the statement in his heart.

Afterwards, Zhou Yancong and Shen Jinsui entered the elevator and went straight to the parking lot.

-

After the elevator arrived at the parking lot, Zhou Yancong led Shen Jinsui towards the private parking garage.

The driver saw them approaching and immediately opened the back door.

After Shen Jinsui got into the car, her phone, which was in her bag, vibrated.

"Ding!"

Shen Jinsui took out her phone, unlocked it, and opened WeChat. It was a message from Ji Yan.

[Sui Sui, I had a major surgery today and just got back to the office.]

Shen Jinsui knew his work was always very busy, so she didn't think much of it and quickly typed a reply: "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

A few seconds later, Ji Yan's message popped up: [I saw your message. I've accepted He Zhenzhen's friend request.]

Shen Jinsui: [Okay.]

Ji Yan: [Sui Sui, are you free next Saturday? Can we go to the hospital to visit my mom together?]

Shen Jinsui had already agreed to have dinner with Zhou Yancong this Saturday, but she did have time that afternoon.

After considering for a moment, Shen Jinsui replied to Ji Yan: 【Okay.】

Ji Yan: [I'll pick you up this afternoon, shall we go to the hospital together?]

Shen Jinsui: [No need, I'm going back to the old house tomorrow, Uncle Zhang will drive me to the hospital.]

Soon, Ji Yan's message appeared on the chat interface: 【Then I'll go directly to the old house to pick you up, and we can visit Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng while we're there.】

After seeing the reply, Shen Jinsui did not refuse again. Ji Yan would indeed occasionally visit her grandparents at the Cheng family's old house.

She immediately typed a reply to Ji Yan: 【Okay.】

Zhou Yancong noticed that Shen Jinsui was chatting with someone else, and his gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over her phone screen.

Out of politeness and respect for her privacy, Zhou Yancong did not carefully read the chat content, but only noticed the nickname at the top of the chat interface.

Ji Yan.

This must be a man's name.

Is he Shen Jinsui's friend?

A moment later, Zhou Yancong glanced casually at the person sitting next to him, whose fair, jade-like fingers continued to tap on the screen.

Why is Shen Jinsui still chatting with the other person?

Are they familiar?

Zhou Yancong lowered his eyelashes slightly, stroking the jade thumb ring on his hand, while the gold cufflinks on his sleeve reflected a luxurious gleam.

His face was calm and indifferent, his eyes were deep like a pool, but his mind was in turmoil, and he felt a strange sense of unease.

Shen Jinsui was chatting with Ji Yan and didn't notice the change in Zhou Yancong's expression. After replying to the last message, she turned off her phone.

Zhou Yancong's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and casually asked her, "Are you chatting with a friend?"

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded.

Zhou Yancong continued to stroke the jade thumb ring on his hand, and then asked casually, "You're starting your vacation tomorrow. Are you going to rest at home or go out with your friends?"

Shen Jinsui replied, "I'm going to my grandparents' house tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong's mood instantly improved; at least she wouldn't be going out with that man named Ji Yan tomorrow.

Afraid that she might forget about dinner on Saturday night, Zhou Yancong casually asked, "What would you like to eat on Saturday night? I'll have someone make a reservation in advance."

Shen Jinsui: "Either is fine."

After pondering for a while, Zhou Yancong asked her, "Are you interested in racing?"

“Yes, I’ve watched racing competitions before,” Shen Jinsui replied.

When she was studying abroad, she would occasionally go to watch races with her classmates, and she was quite interested in it.

Zhou Yancong calmly and slowly said, "If you don't have anything else to do on Saturday afternoon, we can go to the racing club first, and then have dinner."

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Didn't Zhou Yancong say last week that they would only have dinner? He clearly didn't mention where they would go to play together in the afternoon.

Besides, she had just promised to go to the hospital with Ji Yan to visit Aunt Ji on Saturday afternoon.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Jinsui said truthfully, "I have to visit an elder in the hospital on Saturday afternoon, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

Zhou Yancong recalled the day he met her at Huaheng Private Hospital, so he asked her, "Huaheng Hospital? Is she my mother's patient?"

"Ah."

"Tell me when you're leaving the hospital, and I'll come pick you up."

After speaking, Shen Jinsui fell into deep thought.

Ji Yan said he would visit his grandparents at their old house on Saturday afternoon, and then visit Aunt Ji at Huaheng Hospital. He was unsure when he would leave the hospital.

Like her brother, Zhou Yancong is a big boss who manages a group, so every minute and second must be extremely precious to her.

Therefore, Shen Jinsui didn't want to take up his time, so she replied truthfully, "No need, I'll just go directly to the restaurant. I don't know exactly when I'll be leaving the hospital, so I don't want to take up your time."

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly and replied patiently, his voice low, mellow, and languid: "It won't take up my time."

Shen Jinsui thought about it for a moment, then stopped worrying and replied, "We'll talk about it later."

At that moment, in the quiet carriage, Zhou Yancong suddenly called out her name: "Shen Jinsui".

Upon hearing Zhou Yancong call her name, Shen Jinsui looked puzzled and slowly asked, "What's wrong?"
