Beijing Colors Lingering

As night gradually falls, the dim twilight spills over the bustling city.

In Villa No. 2 of Yujingyuan.

After changing into her home clothes, Shen Jinsui sat on the sofa in her bedroom and couldn't help but stare blankly at the screen of her phone.

A few minutes later, Shen Jinsui opened WeChat and sent Zhou Yancong a message: "I went to Huaheng Hospital today and overheard Aunt Ying talking to someone. She said you have a fiancée. I'd like to know if there's any misunderstanding?"

After typing the last word, Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes and stared at the phone screen, patiently waiting for the other party's reply.

However, after more than ten minutes, no new messages popped up in the dialog box.

Shen Jinsui blinked her slightly dry eyes gently, then turned off her phone screen, got up and walked out of the bedroom to the dining room on the first floor.

She decided to eat something first; she couldn't let a man make her lose her appetite.

"Ding!"

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Shen Jinsui subconsciously put down her soup spoon, immediately picked up her phone, unlocked it, and a smile appeared on her face that she herself did not realize.

In an instant, a hint of disappointment flashed across Shen Jinsui's eyes. Her expression froze for a second, and her beautiful, clear eyes dimmed. It turned out to be just a news notification.

She put her phone on the table and continued drinking her soup.

When Shen Jinsui chats with Zhou Yancong, he almost always replies instantly, with at most a few minutes between messages, and this was still the case even when he was working abroad these past few days.

But this time, Zhou Yancong didn't reply to her for a full hour.

After a while, Shen Jinsui finished her dinner and returned to her bedroom. After resting for more than ten minutes, she began to slowly wash and take a shower.

After finishing her skincare routine, Shen Jinsui lay in bed, picked up her phone from the bedside table, unlocked it, and opened WeChat. She found that Zhou Yancong still hadn't replied to her messages.

At this time in the past, Zhou Yancong would usually take the initiative to send her a message.

At this moment, Shen Jinsui felt more irritable and depressed than ever before, feeling that she shouldn't let a man disturb her emotions.

After a brief moment of reflection, Shen Jinsui decided to stop wasting her time on this.

A moment later, her long, slender, fair fingers tapped hard on her phone screen. She decisively blocked Zhou Yancong's WeChat and phone number.

Shen Jinsui knew that her current behavior might be a bit impulsive, but after doing all this, she felt instantly refreshed and happy, and that was enough.

-

The next day, as the morning sun gradually rose, a faint rosy glow pierced through the clouds, and the soft light gently caressed the entire city.

The elevator in the Nebula Animation Company building takes you to the floor where Shen Jinsui works.

She had just stepped out of the elevator, but was blocked by someone after only a few steps.

Shen Jinsui frowned, then looked up slightly. It turned out to be Qin Lei.

Qin Lei had recently learned that Shen Jinsui worked at a department store and that she was currently single. So, on Monday of this week, he came to her floor and gave her a large bouquet of roses.

Shen Jinsui naturally ignored the other person and threw the flowers she had placed at her workstation into the trash can.

On Tuesday, Qin Lei continued to send her flowers and even came to see her after get off work, openly and publicly confessing his feelings to her.

Shen Jinsui decisively rejected Qin Lei and made it clear to him that there was absolutely no possibility between them.

Qin Lei's high-profile behavior must have been seen by his colleagues, and they soon realized that he was the vice president who had been parachuted in last week.

For the next two days, Qin Lei did not appear again, and Shen Jinsui thought he had given up. Unexpectedly, he appeared in front of her again today.

"Is there something you need?" Shen Jinsui asked expressionlessly.

Qin Lei smiled and handed her the bouquet and the bag containing breakfast, explaining, "I've brought you flowers and breakfast."

Shen Jinsui's indifferent gaze swept over the things in his hands, and she refused without hesitation: "I don't need them."

After saying that, she walked past Qin Lei and headed forward.

The next moment, Qin Lei blocked her way again, glanced at the people coming out of the elevator out of the corner of his eye, stared at her and chuckled before saying, "Shen Jinsui, at least give me some face."

At this moment, several colleagues who were passing by glanced at this side with curiosity.

Shen Jinsui glanced at him disdainfully, her expression remaining calm, and said in a cold tone, "I'll say it again, I don't need it. Don't bother me again, and don't send me anything. I will absolutely not accept it."

Qin Lei's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something more, Shen Jinsui quickly walked past him and headed forward.

But he was still unwilling to give up and tried to go forward and grab Shen Jinsui again, but was blocked by two people who suddenly appeared.

It was He Xiaoxiao and Ding Jiayi, who had been standing quietly by and watching the drama unfold. When they saw that Qin Lei still wanted to bother Shen Jinsui, they quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Qin Lei frowned upon seeing this, glanced at the two people standing in front of him, and knew they were Shen Jinsui's colleagues. He patiently said, "Move aside."

He Xiaoxiao snorted inwardly, but smiled slightly on the surface, "President Qin, since Sui Sui has already rejected you, why do you keep pursuing her?"

Ding Jiayi quickly nodded in agreement, forcing a smile, and kindly advised him, "That's right, President Qin, please don't bother Sui Sui anymore. As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet."

Qin Lei frowned upon hearing this, his anger rising within him, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper here.

Seeing that he didn't speak, He Xiaoxiao and Ding Jiayi exchanged a knowing glance, then nodded slightly to him and turned to leave.

Qin Lei stared ahead silently. He was extremely annoyed by Shen Jinsui's repeated rejections, and a hint of anger gradually appeared between his brows.
