Beijing Colors Lingering

Shen Jinsui ignored Zhou Yancong and gave him a disdainful look.

She looked down at the large hand that was holding her wrist; the fingers were clearly defined, and the veins on the back of the hand were clearly visible.

After a long pause, Shen Jinsui spoke up and scolded, "Let me go first."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong released Shen Jinsui's wrist. Then, remembering the message she had sent him, he slowly explained to her carefully, "Shen Jinsui, I don't have a fiancée. However, the fiancée my mother mentioned is you. There's a misunderstanding here."

"Hmm?" Shen Jinsui looked at Zhou Yancong with surprise, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

When did she become Zhou Yancong's fiancée?

How come she doesn't know?

Soon, Zhou Yancong told her everything, as well as the arrangements and plans of their two grandfathers.

After saying that, Zhou Yancong continued, "I'm sorry, my mother likes you very much. She was very happy when she found out that I was going to confess to you, so she couldn't wait to share this with her family and friends, which caused the misunderstanding."

Shen Jinsui fell silent after hearing this. It was true that her family would be having dinner with the family of one of her grandfather's friends this Sunday.

She never expected that the friend her grandfather mentioned was Zhou Yancong's grandfather, and she never expected that her grandfather would actually use this opportunity to introduce her to a potential partner.

Shen Jinsui thought for a few seconds and realized that this was indeed something her grandfather would do.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked curiously, "When did you find out I was from the Cheng family?"

Zhou Yancong answered truthfully: "Because of what happened at the Beijing Club that day, Cheng Yu told the manager to find someone to protect you. Then I remembered that I had seen your photos in Cheng Yu's phone album before, and I had also seen you at your brother's birthday party, so I knew that you were Cheng Yu's sister."

"Hmm." Shen Jinsui nodded gently upon hearing this, and began to think carefully after hearing Zhou Yancong's words.

She did have a vague recollection of him; no wonder he looked familiar. However, she was quite young at the time, so her memory wasn't very strong.

Zhou Yancong continued to explain to her:

"I'm sorry, I was in a very important meeting when you messaged me. The meeting was very long, and I didn't realize my phone was out of battery, so I didn't see it in time. I only found out you blocked me on WeChat when I replied to your message, and I found out I was blocked again after I called you."

He spoke softly and slowly, and towards the end, his mellow and clear voice seemed to carry a hint of grievance.

At this point, the two cleared up the misunderstanding.

"Hmm." After seeing Zhou Yancong's attitude, Shen Jin's anger inexplicably subsided by more than half. She also knew that what she did yesterday was indeed somewhat impulsive.

A slight glint appeared in her eyes. She slowly lowered her gaze, moved her lips, and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be returning to Beijing until Saturday night?"

Zhou Yancong slowly said, "Because I wanted to explain things to you in person as soon as possible, I took a plane back to Beijing today ahead of schedule."

Zhou Yancong only realized his phone was dead after the meeting ended yesterday. He charged it as soon as he got back to his office and then turned it on.

He immediately saw the message from Shen Jinsui, and after reading it, he quickly replied. But the next second, he found that he had been blocked by Shen Jinsui.

Immediately afterwards, he called Shen Jinsui again, only to find that he had also been blocked.

At that time, Zhou Yancong stared at his phone screen without saying a word. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to return to China ahead of schedule, and thus continued working during the remaining time yesterday.

After arranging the follow-up matters today, Zhou Yancong took a private plane that took more than ten hours to return to Beijing. After learning where Shen Jinsui was, he rushed to find her.

Just as Zhou Yancong reached the door of the private room, he overheard a man confessing his love to Shen Jinsui. Before she could answer, he went in and stopped him.

"Oh," Shen Jinsui responded softly after hearing this.

Zhou Yancong smiled slightly and said gently, "You didn't finish your dinner. Shall I take you to get something to eat now?"

Shen Jinsui shook her head, "No need, I'm already full."

She only eats until she's 70% full at night, so she really doesn't need to.

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, "How about I take you somewhere now?"

"Where are you taking me?" Shen Jinsui asked him.

Zhou Yancong calmly replied, "You'll know when we get there."

"Ah."

Shen Jinsui glanced at Zhou Yancong's face and closed her eyes.

She had a strong grip; she had just slapped the man with all her might, so the red finger mark on Zhou Yancong's face was still very noticeable.

After hesitating for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Is it okay for your face to go out like this? Why don't you go to the hospital to apply some medicine first?"

Zhou Yancong's lips curved into a gentle smile, his voice low and magnetic: "No need to go to the hospital, can you apply the medicine for me later?"

"Mmm." Shen Jinsui pursed her red lips and nodded slightly.

-

Afterwards, Zhou Yancong led Shen Jinsui to a place.

After Shen Jinsui got out of the car, she followed Zhou Yancong to the art museum where he had once taken her to see an exhibition of his works.

Shen Jinsui followed Zhou Yancong into the art museum, where she was greeted by vibrant red Corolla roses, cleverly arranged on both sides, with a passageway in the middle.

Then, she slowly walked inside.

Her expression froze for a moment after she saw what was hanging on the wall.

Every piece of art she posted on social media was printed out as a picture and hung on the wall for display.

Her previous short comics were also printed out as pictures and hung on the wall one by one.

Shen Jinsui looked ahead and saw a large patch of Juliet roses arranged in a giant heart shape, stunning and elegant, understated yet passionate.

The entire venue is filled with a faint fragrance of roses and fruits, an elegant and noble aroma that is refreshing and soothing.

Next to the roses, many exquisite gift boxes were neatly arranged, each roughly shaped like a heart when viewed from the front.

Each gift box is luxuriously packaged, with an exquisite bow tied on the surface.

"Shen Jinsui".

A moment later, a calm and clear voice rang out in the quiet and spacious art museum.

Shen Jinsui turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Zhou Yancong holding a large bouquet of roses, with two rings of Carola red roses on the outside and Juliet roses on the inside.

At that moment, the lights in the art museum softened, and a flowing pale blue halo appeared on the ceiling, shimmering like a dazzling galaxy.

Zhou Yancong walked slowly to her, the light shining on him, his expression sincere and earnest.

He then spoke slowly, his voice soft and deep: "Shen Jinsui, I like you very much and want to be with you forever. Would you give me a chance to become your boyfriend?"

Shen Jinsui silently watched Zhou Yancong, listening to his heartfelt confession, his tone sincere and his attitude earnest.

Shen Jinsui's heart beat faster involuntarily, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Zhou Yancong paused for a moment, then continued carefully choosing his words:

"I originally planned to confess to you on Sunday, but because of what happened yesterday and today, I've decided to tell you my feelings now. If you're not willing to accept me now, could you give me a chance to pursue you?"

The man's voice reached Shen Jinsui's ears, like a feather, silently disturbing her heart.

She pursed her red lips, slowly lowered her eyes, and her gaze fell on the toes of her high heels.

At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop; time seemed to stand still, and everything was still.

Shen Jinsui felt her chest pounding, as if she could hear her own heartbeat accelerating; it was a thrill she had never experienced before.

Zhou Yanzong gazed at her tenderly, a slight smile playing on his lips, patiently awaiting her reply.

His eyes were like stars, his gaze both fiery and gentle, like a vast ocean of stars, shimmering and irresistibly drawing people in.
