Beijing Colors Lingering

Shen Jinsui turned her head slightly and saw Zhou Yancong looking thoughtful. She called out to him softly, "Zhou Yancong?"

Zhou Yancong coughed lightly, subtly averted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and quickly adjusted his breathing.

He handed the paper bag and flowers to Shen Jinsui, his voice deep and magnetic: "These are cakes and flowers I bought on my way here."

Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes and stared at the bouquet of flowers, which consisted of champagne roses in the center and surrounded by a circle of white baby's breath.

A strange feeling gradually arose in her heart; she hadn't expected Zhou Yancong to actually buy flowers.

A moment later, Shen Jinsui extended her slender fingers, took the bag with one hand, and held the bouquet of flowers in the other, smiling gently as she replied, "Thank you."

"This is a matcha-flavored mousse cake."

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She raised her eyes and stared at Zhou Yancong. Under the interplay of light and shadow, his handsome and noble face showed a touch of gentleness.

If she were simply someone who values ​​appearance, Zhou Yancong's looks and figure would perfectly match her aesthetic.

Shen Jinsui's eyebrows curved into a smile, her eyes sparkling with a hint of light, as she asked curiously, "How did you know I like matcha-flavored cake?"

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly and explained simply, "Every time we eat together, you always choose matcha-flavored desserts."

Zhou Yancong dined with Shen Jinsui many times, and every time he saw her eating dessert, he noticed that she always chose matcha-flavored desserts.

Not long ago, Zhou Yancong was on his way back to Yujingyuan by car.

As the car was waiting at a traffic light, he turned his head to look out the window and inadvertently spotted a dessert shop that was open for business.

A few seconds later, as if possessed, he got out of the car and went to the dessert shop, where he bought a matcha nama chocolate mousse.

After leaving the dessert shop, he glanced at the flower shop next door and bought a bouquet of flowers on the spur of the moment.

Shen Jinsui was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then teased him with a smile, "Then you have excellent observation skills."

"Yes, thank you for the compliment." Zhou Yancong's lips curled into a slight smile. "I'm going home now."

"Okay." Shen Jinsui smiled and nodded. It was not appropriate to invite him into the living room for a casual chat at this time.

After Zhou Yancong left, Shen Jinsui turned and walked into the hall.

She put the matcha nama chocolate mousse in the refrigerator, deciding to eat it tomorrow, and then put fresh flowers in a vase.

Shen Jinsui went upstairs to her bedroom and took off her knitted cardigan.

The next second, her movements suddenly stopped.

She glanced down and instantly realized something was wrong. Her pupils widened slightly, and her mind went blank for several seconds.

She then realized that she wasn't wearing a bra, and she had just been talking to Zhou Yancong, so she didn't know if he had seen her.

Because the housekeeper and maids in the villa are all women, Shen Jinsui would take off her underwear and change into comfortable home clothes after getting home from get off work.

Shen Jinsui raised her hand and scratched her hair, then pursed her lips.

Only then did she belatedly realize her embarrassment and shyness, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she exhaled a deep breath.

-

Time flies, and Friday is here in the blink of an eye. Shen Jinsui is overjoyed at the thought of seeing her parents after get off work.

Around noon, Shen Jinsui and He Xiaoxiao went to a nearby shopping mall for lunch.

After everyone was seated, they each scanned the QR code on the table and began ordering food.

After ordering, He Xiaoxiao glanced at Ding Jiayi sitting across from her and whispered to Shen Jinsui, "Suisui, Jiayi has been absent-minded since this morning. I wonder what's wrong with her."

Shen Jinsui glanced at Ding Jiayi, her expression seemingly a little forlorn. She usually chatted with them with a smile, but today she sat quietly, silent.

Shen Jinsui said softly, "She was indeed acting strangely today. Could it be that something bad happened to her?"

Yu Qing, who sat next to Ding Jiayi, also noticed her unusual behavior. She glanced at He Xiaoxiao and Shen Jinsui, signaling to them whether they wanted to ask her.

After thinking for a moment, He Xiaoxiao looked at Ding Jiayi and asked her in a low voice, "Jiayi, what's wrong with you today? You seem unhappy."

Ding Jiayi pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed deeply before slowly saying to the three of them, "The man who is pursuing me actually has a fiancée, and they have even taken wedding photos."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three were stunned for a moment.

He Xiaoxiao quickly asked her, "How did you know? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Yu Qing: "Yes, I haven't heard that he has a fiancée."

He Xiaoxiao and Yu Qing both knew that the man pursuing Ding Jiayi was the head of another department. They had never heard from their colleagues in that department that he had a girlfriend or fiancée.

Shen Jinsui didn't know what to say; she had only been working at Xingyun for a few months.

Aside from her own department, she was completely unfamiliar with everyone else, and had never even met the man who was pursuing Ding Jiayi.

After a long pause, Ding Jiayi said through gritted teeth, "The night before last, I saw a photo posted by her fiancé on social media. It was a photo of the two of them together. At first, I thought I had mistaken her for someone else, but when I clicked into her profile, I saw her wedding photos with that scumbag."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Jinsui and Yu Qing, and then stared at Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi picked up her water glass, drank it all in one gulp, and continued speaking to them:

“I went to see him after get off work yesterday and confronted him about it. To my surprise, he admitted it right away. He shamelessly said that he was willing to give me a sum of money every month to be his mistress, and that his fiancée didn’t work in Beijing and wouldn’t find out anything. In the end, I slapped him hard and left, and then blocked all his contact methods.”

Although Ding Jiayi is not a second-generation rich kid, she is her parents' beloved only daughter.

Her parents bought her a house and a car outright a few years ago, and even after she graduated, they still gave her pocket money every month.

She's living a wonderful life now, why would she possibly become some kind of damn secret lover?!

Unless she's gone mad?

Thinking about this, Ding Jiayi felt that she should have kicked that scumbag again.

The other three people present remained silent for a long time after hearing Ding Jiayi's words.

Shen Jinsui broke the silence first, looked up at Ding Jiayi, and after careful consideration, slowly opened her mouth: "Fortunately, you two are not together yet. It's good that you can see each other's true colors sooner and stop the damage in time."

“Sui Sui is right.” Yu Qing nodded in agreement with Shen Jin Sui’s point of view, then shook her head and said, “This is what they call knowing a person’s face but not their heart.”

He Xiaoxiao comforted her: "Jiayi, don't be sad for this kind of scumbag. He's not worth it at all."

Ding Jiayi smiled sheepishly: "I know. I also plan to privately message the scumbag's fiancée and tell her about this."

Yu Qing was a little worried after hearing this, "I just don't know if the other party will believe what you said."

Ding Jiayi pursed her lips, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "Anyway, I'll tell the truth, whether she believes it or not is her business."

Shen Jinsui agreed with Ding Jiayi's approach, "Yes, it's good to let the other party know the truth."

He Xiaoxiao sighed softly, "I hope that scumbag's fiancée can get away from him as soon as possible."

"Anyway, I'll message her privately tonight." Ding Jiayi nodded seriously.

At this point, the waiter began serving the dishes, and the group stopped discussing the topic.
