Beijing Colors Lingering

As Ji Yan watched Qi Mingyuan and He Zhenzhen leave, he couldn't help but sigh, "They really are like a pair of bickering lovers."

Shen Jinsui smiled gently, "Yes, Zhenzhen and Qi Mingyuan are childhood sweethearts."

“They are a good match.” Ji Yan immediately looked away.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback. She naturally understood what Ji Yan meant by those words.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui remembered what He Zhenzhen had said at the dessert shop that afternoon, and she decided to continue pursuing Ji Yan.

After careful consideration, Shen Jinsui finally spoke to Ji Yan, saying, "Ji Yan, sometimes it's the onlooker's perspective that's clearer than the player's. Zhenzhen is my good friend, and this is the first time I've heard her say she wants to pursue someone. You..."

“Sui Sui, I know what to do.” Ji Yan interrupted her and said decisively, “I will find a suitable time to explain it to her.”

Shen Jinsui nodded upon hearing this. Since Ji Yan had his own plans, she didn't say anything more and simply smiled, "Okay."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ji Yan slowly said, "Sui Sui, I also consider Zhen Zhen a friend. I hope she can see her true feelings clearly in the future and be with the person she truly likes."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded.

Ji Yan glanced at his watch. "Sui Sui, I'll drive you home now."

After saying that, Ji Yan walked to the black Mercedes parked on the side of the road.

Upon hearing Ji Yan's words, Shen Jinsui realized that she hadn't sent a message to Uncle Zhang yet.

A dozen minutes earlier, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Skywalker slowly came to a stop not far from them.

Immediately afterwards, the back window slowly rolled down, revealing a cold and deep-set face.

Zhou Yancong's arm was draped lazily over the car window, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he stared straight ahead.

As expected, it was Ji Yan again.

He was having a familiar conversation with Shen Jinsui.

When Zhou Yancong saw Shen Jinsui smile at Ji Yan, he felt extremely displeased.

Then, Zhou Yancong pursed his lips, a hint of anger flickering in his dark eyes.

At that moment, in the quiet carriage, the driver sitting in the driver's seat inexplicably felt a sharp and intimidating aura coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Jinwen sent a message to Zhou Yancong in the afternoon, saying that Jiang Yining was going to have dinner with Shen Jinsui today.

After seeing the message, Zhou Yancong ignored it.

Not long after, Ye Jinwen sent him another message, saying that Shen Jinsui's two female friends were also present, and also mentioned the place and time for dinner.

Upon seeing this message, Zhou Yancong guessed that Ji Yan must be there, so he arrived at the appointed time.

After a moment, Zhou Yancong withdrew his gaze, his eyes darkening. He closed his eyes briefly and slowly uttered a few words: "Crash into it."

The driver, sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine after hearing his boss's instructions.

He looked ahead shakily, his expression one of astonishment.

If the car suddenly accelerates past, it will hit the stranger's car.

The driver took another closer look at the stranger and suddenly remembered that he had seen him before at the entrance of Huaheng Hospital; he was Ms. Shen's friend.

Is the boss jealous again?

How puzzling!

The driver swallowed hard, lowered his voice, and tried to dissuade his boss: "Mr. Zhou, Miss Shen is standing right next to us. Doing this will probably scare her."

After saying that, he silently complained to himself—

Is it really appropriate for you to act so impulsively?

This won't work!

After a long pause, Zhou Yancong lazily lifted his eyelids, glanced disdainfully at the driver, and said in a sharp voice, "Drive over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Zhou."

The driver started the vehicle and drove forward, then stopped next to Shen Jinsui.

As Shen Jinsui was considering whether to take Ji Yan's car home or have Uncle Zhang drive her home, she suddenly noticed a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

Soon, Shen Jinsui saw Zhou Yancong get out of the back seat of the car and walk slowly towards her.

Shen Jinsui looked up at him and asked in confusion, "Zhou Yancong, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Yancong calmly explained to her, "My friend and I were also having dinner nearby and just happened to be passing by."

"Hmm." Shen Jinsui nodded slightly, but she was a little doubtful. Could it really be such a coincidence?

Seeing this, Ji Yan walked over, looked at Zhou Yancong, and greeted him politely but distantly: "Mr. Zhou, hello."

Zhou Yancong glanced at Ji Yan casually, his expression indifferent and calm, and replied in a low voice, "Mm."

Then, Zhou Yancong looked at Shen Jinsui and asked, "Any other plans for tonight?"

"No," Shen Jinsui shook her head. "I'm going home."

The next second, Zhou Yancong's deep, clear, and magnetic voice rang out: "Then I'll take you home now. Anyway, we both live in Yujingyuan, so it's on the way."

Shen Jinsui pursed her red lips and did not immediately agree, even though Ji Yan had just said he would take her back.

Why do they all want to take her home?

Shen Jinsui pondered this difficult problem. Both of them were her friends, and it seemed inappropriate to refuse either of them.

After a while, she thought to herself, maybe she should just ask Uncle Zhang to take her home, so as to avoid agonizing over it.

Zhou Yancong was already standing next to Shen Jinsui, looking calm and composed.

He patiently waited for Shen Jinsui's reply, not expecting her to reject him.

Zhou Yancong was very confident that he would win against Ji Yan in every aspect.

Ji Yan glanced at Shen Jinsui, not wanting to put her in a difficult position, and even more afraid that she would reject him and choose Zhou Yancong instead.

Although the other party didn't say anything at that moment, Ji Yan could see his possessiveness in his eyes.

Therefore, Ji Yan took the initiative to suggest, "Sui Sui, since you and Mr. Zhou live in the same place, let him take you home."

After considering for a moment, Shen Jinsui nodded and replied, "Okay."

Afterwards, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong got into the back seat of the car.

Ji Yan stared at the car as it drove away, his eyes suddenly dimming, the streetlights casting a lonely glow on his shoulders.

He suddenly recalled the scene at the entrance of Huaheng Hospital, as if it were happening again.

Ji Yan witnessed another man taking Shen Jinsui away in front of him again, and he didn't even have the courage to fight back.

After a long while, Ji Yan withdrew his gaze and slowly walked towards the black Mercedes parked by the roadside.

He took out his car keys, unlocked the car, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.

-

As dusk settles, the bustling city transforms into a scene of dazzling extravagance.

Neon lights mingled in the thick darkness of the night as a black Rolls-Royce Phantom Terrace drove smoothly along the wide road.

In the quiet and spacious carriage, a cell phone suddenly rang, and Zhou Yancong answered the call unhurriedly.

After a dozen seconds, he replied in a deep voice with a single word: "Hmm."

Zhou Yancong hung up the phone quickly.

He looked at the person sitting next to him, his voice tinged with apology: "I have to go back to Huaheng headquarters now. If you'd like to come with me, you can wait for me in my office. It will take about an hour."

After saying that, Zhou Yancong immediately added, "If you're in a hurry to get home, I'll have the driver take you back to Yujingyuan now."
