Beijing Colors Lingering

At that moment, Shen Jinsui's phone vibrated.

After unlocking her phone, she opened WeChat and saw a message from Zhou Yancong: "Are you resting?"

Shen Jinsui wasn't surprised. Ever since the team-building activity ended, Zhou Yancong had been sending her messages every night.

For some reason, she found it to be a common occurrence.

Soon, Shen Jinsui replied to Zhou Yancong: 【Not yet.】

A few seconds later, Zhou Yancong's message came through: [Where are you going with your friends tomorrow? I'll pick you up and take you back to Yujingyuan after your party.]

Shen Jinsui didn't hide anything. Her slender fingers tapped the screen as she replied directly: "No need. We're going to the Hotness bar tomorrow. My driver will pick me up."

Zhou Yancong: [Okay, then please be careful. I'll also be out with friends tomorrow night, so contact me if anything happens.]

Shen Jinsui did not refuse Zhou Yancong's kindness and replied to him in text: 【Okay, I understand.】

Hotness Bar is the largest and most luxurious bar in Beijing, with security personnel patrolling at all times. Moreover, this wasn't Shen Jinsui's first time going to a bar with her friends.

What danger could she possibly be in?

Therefore, Shen Jinsui naturally didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yancong's words.

A moment later, Zhou Yancong sent another message: [Do you like the gift I gave you today?]

Shen Jinsui: [Thank you, I like it, the necklace is very pretty.]

Zhou Yancong: [You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.]

Upon seeing his reply, Shen Jinsui couldn't help but smile slightly. She typed back: "Zhou Yancong, I'll give you a gift next time. I hope you like it."

The next second, Zhou Yancong's message popped up in the chat interface: [Whatever gift you give me, I'll like it.]

Shen Jinsui stared at her phone screen, couldn't help but hum softly, and muttered to herself, "This Zhou Yancong is quite the smooth talker. If he doesn't like that pen, I won't give him anything in the future."

At this moment, Shen Jinsui suddenly remembered something: Zhou Yancong's suit jacket had not been returned to him.

The next day, the morning light was dim.

As the sun slowly rises from the horizon, its rays gradually spread across the land.

In Villa No. 2 of Yujingyuan, the person on the bed is still fast asleep in the spacious bedroom.

At noon, the intense sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, casting dappled patterns on the ground like scattered silver.

At that time, Shen Jinsui had just woken up naturally. When she opened her eyes, she heard the robot's greeting: "Good afternoon, Master."

Immediately afterwards, the curtains slowly opened to both sides automatically.

Sunlight lazily streamed through the window, bathing the room in a golden glow.

Shen Jinsui gently rubbed her temples, got up and quickly washed and tidied herself up. After changing into her pajamas, she went downstairs to the living room.

Upon seeing her, the maid bowed and greeted her, "Miss, would you like lunch prepared now?"

Shen Jinsui took a cup of warm water from another maid, drank more than half of it, and replied with a "Mm".

After finishing lunch, Shen Jinsui went into the art studio.

She sat in the ergonomic chair in front of the desk with her iPad and Apple Pencil, opened the software, and began drawing the latest chapter of the "Entering the Dream" comic.

About two hours later, Shen Jinsui put down what she was holding, got up and went to the bedroom.

Shen Jinsui picked up the massager, adjusted it to a suitable intensity, and placed it on her neck. Then she took out a steam eye mask from the drawer and sat on the sofa.

Shen Jinsui relaxed her body and leaned back on the sofa. She summoned the robot with her voice, asking it to play some soft music. Then she put on an eye mask and began to take a nap.

About an hour later, Shen Jinsui sat in front of the dressing table and put on a simple makeup.

Considering that she was going to a bar that night, Shen Jinsui chose to wear a burgundy retro vest and a black denim pleated skirt, showing off her slender waist and a pair of fair and straight long legs.

After changing her clothes, Shen Jinsui walked out of the bedroom carrying a golden-brown Hermes Kellydoll.

Afterwards, Uncle Zhang drove her to the largest luxury shopping center in Beijing.

Then, Shen Jinsui went directly into C's store, where the manager personally greeted her and led her to the largest VIC reception room.

Shen Jinsui walked into the reception room and saw He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu already sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui, they immediately stood up and waved to her, then sat down to the side, leaving the middle seat open for her to sit there.

Shen Jinsui noticed the gossipy looks in their eyes and knew what they were curious about. She then slowly walked over and sat down between them.

After a while, the manager brought out several new drinks, several plates of desserts, and fresh fruit.

Subsequently, several tall and beautiful female models walked in one by one, showing the three of them the latest and runway clothes, bags, and other items.

Shen Jinsui listlessly accompanied the two people beside her as they picked out things, but she wasn't very interested.

A few days ago, the brand representatives of major luxury brands delivered the latest seasonal clothing, bags, and accessories to the Cheng family's old residence, including almost all the clothes, bags, and other items displayed on the models.

After the models finished their presentation, He Zhenzhen told them to leave first.

At this moment, only the three of them remained in the large VIC reception room.

He Zhenzhen turned to stare at Shen Jinsui and quickly asked the question that had been bothering her for several days: "Suisui, what exactly is going on between you and Zhou Yancong?"

Shen Jinsui had no intention of hiding the truth from He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu. After thinking carefully for a while, she slowly revealed her relationship with Zhou Yancong.

After listening, He Zhenzhen blinked her beautiful, lively eyes and expressed her opinion: "Zhou Yancong definitely has feelings for you. He not only invited you to dinner but also gave you gifts. He's probably going to pursue you."

“I think so too,” Qiao Yunshu nodded.

After hearing He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu's words, Shen Jinsui picked up a glass of fresh juice from the table, took a few sips, and slowly said, "I know."

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally sense that Zhou Yancong had feelings for her.

However, she was still a little unsure whether Zhou Yancong would pursue her.

The boys who had pursued her all made it clear that they wanted to pursue her, but Zhou Yancong never said anything like that.

Therefore, she was a little worried that she might be imagining things, and that Zhou Yancong might not have such thoughts for the time being.

As Shen Jinsui pondered this, she couldn't help but imagine that if Zhou Yancong really wanted to pursue her, she would probably accept him.

Because she realized that she seemed to have feelings for Zhou Yancong as well.

Seeing Shen Jinsui looking thoughtful, He Zhenzhen asked her curiously, "Did Zhou Yancong ever say he wanted to pursue you?"

Shen Jinsui put down her water glass and shook her head slightly: "No."

He Zhenzhen then asked her, "Does Zhou Yancong know that you are Cheng Yu's sister?"

Shen Jinsui replied, "He probably doesn't know that he has never asked me about my family, and I would never bring it up with him."

Since Shen Jinsui returned to China after graduating, she has not deliberately hidden her family background from those around her.

Similarly, she wouldn't proactively tell others these things.

He Zhenzhen suddenly thought of Pei Chiyu, and her mind immediately went blank. She cursed and said, "You didn't run into another scumbag, did you? Since Zhou Yancong didn't say he wanted to pursue you, does he want you to be with him?"

Shen Jinsui was stunned upon hearing this. Was Zhou Yancong also a scumbag who didn't follow her?

That can't be true, right?

To be honest, she had never thought of Zhou Yancong in this way.
