Beijing Colors Lingering

Ye Jinwen helped Jiang Yining into the back seat of the car, and the driver immediately started the vehicle.

He glanced at the person next to him and casually asked, "Who was the man standing next to Shen Jinsui just now?"

Jiang Yining didn't think much of it and replied directly, "His name is Ji Yan. I've heard Sui Sui mention him. He's been a friend of hers for many years."

Ye Jinwen chuckled softly. A friend I've known for a long time?

He recalled the scene of seeing Ji Yan and Shen Jinsui standing together and actually felt that the two were somewhat well-matched.

Furthermore, Ye Jinwen always felt that Ji Yan's gaze towards Shen Jinsui was more than just that of a friend.

Poor guy, the first time he met a girl he liked, he probably already had a hidden rival.

Ye Jinwen knew that Jiang Yining was having dinner with Shen Jinsui today, and two of Shen Jinsui's male friends were also present.

So he kindly sent the restaurant address to Zhou Yancong, but he didn't know if Zhou Yancong would come to pick up Shen Jinsui.

If Zhou Yancong were to come and appear before the two of them, seeing Shen Jinsui and Ji Yan standing together, he would definitely have the same thought as him.

This is probably what they call a love triangle?

Thinking of this, Ye Jinwen felt a little regretful. He should have left later; maybe he could have seen Zhou Yancong break down and be embarrassed.

Sigh, I missed a great opportunity to watch the play.

Jiang Yining noticed the man laughing inexplicably and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"I wasn't laughing at anything." Ye Jinwen shook his head and then asked her, "Is Ji Yan really just Shen Jinsui's friend?"

Jiang Yining looked blank for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Of course."

Ye Jinwen reached out and took her hand, stroking it as he lazily said, "Alright then."

A few seconds later, Jiang Yining realized something was wrong. She grabbed Ye Jin's hand and tentatively asked, "Why would you ask that? You don't actually think Ji Yan likes Sui Sui, do you?"

Ye Jinwen didn't hide anything from her and nodded directly, "I do have that idea."

“How could that be?” Jiang Yining shook her head and stated her opinion, “Sui Sui and Ji Yan have known each other for a long time. If he liked Sui Sui, he would have confessed to her long ago.”

Ye Jinwen's lips curled slightly as he listlessly pinched and played with her fingers, giving a faint "Mm".

-

Meanwhile, shortly after Ye Jinwen and Jiang Yining left, the Qiao family's driver picked up Qiao Yunshu and took her home.

A few minutes later, Qi Mingyuan, expressionless, pulled He Zhenzhen, who looked displeased, forward and got into the back seat of the car.

Then, a black Cullinan drove smoothly on the wide road.

Sitting in the back seat, He Zhenzhen glared angrily at Qi Mingyuan and questioned him, "Qi Mingyuan, why did you insist on dragging me away with you?"

He Zhenzhen had just wanted Ji Yan to take her home, but Qi Mingyuan, that idiot, forcibly dragged her away.

Qi Mingyuan said calmly, "He Zhenzhen, Ji Yan likes Shen Jinsui. He could never like you. Don't waste your energy on him."

"What?" He Zhenzhen looked shocked and raised her voice. "You mean Ji Yan likes Sui Sui?"

"Mm." Qi Mingyuan nodded calmly.

"How is that possible?" He Zhenzhen shook her head and murmured subconsciously.

Qi Mingyuan countered, "Why is it impossible?"

He Zhenzhen pouted and muttered, "I didn't realize Ji Yan liked Sui Sui."

Qi Mingyuan said lazily, "Maybe it's because you're blind."

"You're the one who's blind!" He Zhenzhen glared at him, indignant. "Yun Shu, Yi Ning, and Sui Sui can't see it either."

"Oh," Qi Mingyuan continued, "then it means that all of you have problems with your eyesight."

He Zhenzhen suddenly thought of something and asked him, "If Ji Yan likes Sui Sui, why doesn't he confess to her?"

Qi Mingyuan shrugged, his voice weary and languid: "You'll have to ask him that question; maybe he just doesn't want to say it."

He Zhenzhen pursed her lips and asked him, "Then how did you figure out that Ji Yan likes Sui Sui?"

“A man’s intuition,” Qi Mingyuan said calmly.

He Zhenzhen snorted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Is your intuition really that accurate?"

“Of course,” Qi Mingyuan replied confidently.

"I don't believe you at all." He Zhenzhen remained skeptical. How could she not see through her?

After thinking for a few seconds, Qi Mingyuan decided to explain to He Zhenzhen seriously: "Actually, I couldn't tell before either, until at Shen Jinsui's nineteenth birthday party, I noticed that Ji Yan's gaze was always on Shen Jinsui, and the way he looked at Shen Jinsui was not like how he would look at a friend."

Qi Mingyuan was telling the truth. Before that, he really didn't think Ji Yan liked Shen Jinsui.

However, during Shen Jinsui's nineteenth birthday party, Qi Mingyuan inadvertently discovered that Ji Yan's gaze was constantly following Shen Jinsui, and he even briefly revealed a passionate and affectionate look in his eyes.

As a man himself, he naturally understood that this meant Ji Yan had developed romantic feelings for Shen Jinsui.

However, to his surprise, Ji Yan had not revealed his feelings since the birthday party and had concealed them very well in front of Shen Jinsui and the others.

Later, Qi Mingyuan roughly guessed why Ji Yan was unwilling to confess to Shen Jinsui, perhaps it was related to his mother.

If He Zhenzhen hadn't been pursuing Ji Yan, Qi Mingyuan wouldn't have revealed what he had discovered.

After listening to Qi Mingyuan's explanation, He Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before looking at him. After considering it carefully, she asked, "Should I tell Sui Sui?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Mingyuan put on a speechless expression. He raised his hand and gently flicked He Zhenzhen's forehead.

After a while, he started rambling on and on: "Ji Yan hasn't confessed to Shen Jinsui, so what are you going to say? Since he hasn't said anything, he must have his reasons. Don't meddle in other people's business, and don't say these things to Shen Jinsui."

"Ugh!" He Zhenzhen waved his hand away and shouted impatiently, "I know."

Qi Mingyuan raised an eyebrow and asked her, "So, are you still planning to pursue Ji Yan?"

He Zhenzhen shook her head decisively. Since Ji Yan already had someone he liked, she would definitely not continue to pursue him.

Qi Mingyuan stared at He Zhenzhen, looking at her with a sense of accomplishment, and nodded with satisfaction, praising her: "Yes, this is the right choice."

He Zhenzhen's thoughts drifted away, and suddenly she thought of something. A smile flashed in her eyes, and she said cheerfully, "I've been to the hospital where Ji Yan works and met other handsome doctors. I can find someone else to pursue."

Just kidding, she's not going to hang herself on one tree.

How could she possibly give up the whole forest for one tree?

Upon hearing this, Qi Mingyuan's face immediately darkened, and he turned to look out the car window.

He suddenly felt very angry.

How is this going?
