Beijing Colors Lingering

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong's lips curled up, and a cryptic smile appeared in his eyes. "Yes, I know."

Shen Jinsui raised her hand and pinched his cheek, complaining in a coquettish voice, "Zhou Yancong, I'm only now realizing that you're a bit shameless."

Zhou Yancong took her soft, delicate hand and kissed her fingers. His eyes were gentle, and his voice was deep and pleasant: "Baby is right."

Shen Jinsui snorted and shook off his hand with obvious disdain. Then she went into the dressing room and took out the bag she had just picked out.

Zhou Yancong consciously took the bag from Shen Jinsui's hand, then took her hand and walked out of the bedroom.

Afterwards, the two took a car to the Zhou family's old residence located in the western suburbs of the capital.

As the car passed through a lush garden, Shen Jinsui looked out the window, taking in the scenery before her.

The Zhou family manor is a traditional-style private estate. The overall architecture is modeled after ancient royal garden mansions. It covers an area similar to the Cheng family manor and has a similar architectural style.

A few minutes later, the car drove into a garden and finally stopped in front of the main building's entrance.

Upon seeing this, the servant waiting at the door stepped forward and immediately opened the back door of the car.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yancong and Shen Jinsui got out of the car.

The two had just gotten out of the car when they saw another car coming from the front.

A few seconds later, a girl got out of the back seat of the car.

The girl smiled brightly upon seeing them and quickly walked to Shen Jinsui's side, her bright eyes staring at her curiously.

The female lead winked at Shen Jinsui again and cheerfully greeted her, "Hello, Miss."

Shen Jinsui was a little confused by this and glanced at Zhou Yancong with a puzzled look.

She guessed that the girl must be a junior member of the Zhou family, why was she so outgoing?

Zhou Yancong frowned slightly, glanced at the girl, and then gave Shen Jinsui a brief introduction: "She is my second cousin's daughter, Zhou Yihan, who is currently studying at Peking University."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yancong looked at Zhou Yihan and introduced the person next to him: "She is my girlfriend, Shen Jinsui."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yihan looked at Shen Jinsui and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Shen Jinsui smiled and said to her, "You can just call me by my name."

Zhou Yihan affectionately took Shen Jinsui's arm, thought for a moment, and then asked her, "Okay, then I'll call you Suisui?"

Faced with her enthusiasm, Shen Jinsui couldn't refuse, so she could only let her do as she pleased and nodded slightly in agreement: "Okay."

Zhou Yancong glanced at Zhou Yihan and said in a deep voice, "Let go."

Faced with Zhou Yancong's cold gaze, Zhou Yihan felt a little scared. She was actually a bit afraid of this cousin, so she immediately let go of Shen Jinsui and obediently followed beside her.

As the three entered the lobby, they saw Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou coming out of the elevator.

Then, they greeted the two elders politely in turn.

Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou were very happy to see the three younger generations, and quickly invited them to sit down first.

Soon, several servants filed in carrying trays, placing drinks, desserts, and fresh fruit on the table, and then carefully setting out a complete tea set.

Grandma Zhou looked at Shen Jinsui with a loving expression and slowly said, "Suisui, you don't need to be so polite. This will be your home from now on, so please make yourself at home."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly, "Grandma Zhou, I understand."

Grandma Zhou then looked at Zhou Yancong and Zhou Yihan, "You two need to take good care of Sui Sui."

Zhou Yihan quickly nodded in agreement: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my cousin's wife."

At this moment, Grandpa Zhou looked at them and said, "Have some tea first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who was in charge of making tea stepped forward.

The movements of scalding the teapot, placing the tea leaves, warming the cups, pouring from a high position, and steeping from a low position are all performed skillfully and smoothly, without any hesitation.

Next, the servants filled several teacups to about seven-tenths full with hot tea.

In an instant, the room was filled with the aroma of tea.

Shen Jinsui then picked up the white porcelain teacup in front of her. The tea soup was bright apricot-yellow and had a rich orchid fragrance.

She took a small sip, and the first taste was mellow, rich, and fragrant – this was top-grade Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao.

Grandpa Zhou put down his teacup and asked everyone, "This is the tea I had someone buy for me a while ago. What do you think of the taste?"

Zhou Yihan nodded. "It's delicious."

Shen Jinsui looked at Grandpa Zhou and commented seriously: "The tea has a mellow taste and a very strong tea aroma. My grandfather also likes to drink Da Hong Pao."

Zhou Yancong nodded, indicating his agreement with Shen Jinsui's statement.

Grandpa Zhou took another sip of tea. "Yes, Old Man Cheng also likes to drink this. I even gave him a cake of tea before."

At this moment, Ying Wenjun and her husband came to the hall. They first greeted Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and then sat down on the sofa.

Zhou Yihan looked at them and called out, "Uncle, Aunt."

Seeing this, Shen Jinsui also greeted the two politely: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Ying."

Ying Wenjun nodded slightly, looking at Shen Jinsui with an irrepressible smile in her eyes.

She was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

She then said, "Sui Sui, come here to play and have a meal whenever you have time in the future."

Shen Jinsui nodded gently and smiled sweetly, "Okay, Aunt Ying."

Zhou Yancong reached out and took her hand, then looked up at his mother. "Mom, Sui Sui has to work during the week. We'll go back to the old house when we have time."

After a while, the group arrived at the restaurant.

A huge golden nanmu wooden table was set with several exquisite and delicious dishes. The servants served the last few dishes and then left the dining room.

Then, several other servants handed them hot towels to wipe their hands.

Grandpa Zhou looked at Zhou Yancong and specially instructed him, "Yancong, you must take good care of Suisui."

Zhou Yancong nodded in agreement: "Grandpa, I know."

Soon, Zhou Yancong picked up the serving chopsticks with his long, slender hands and served food to Shen Jinsui.

After a while, the man's long, slender, fair fingers began to slowly peel the shrimp, placing them one by one into the small dish in front of Shen Jinsui.

Shen Jinsui stared at the porcelain white plate in front of her, smiled helplessly, and quickly put down her chopsticks.

Shen Jinsui coughed lightly, reached out and pinched Zhou Yancong's waist, leaned closer to him and muttered softly, "Zhou Yancong, don't put any more food on my plate, and don't peel any shrimp for me. I can't possibly finish all this food."

"it is good."

Zhou Yancong's lips curved into a gentle smile as he placed the last peeled shrimp into her dish, then picked up a hot towel and carefully wiped his fingers clean.

A little while later, Zhou Yancong put down the towel in his hand and picked up a bowl of snow swallow soup from the dining table and placed it in front of Shen Jinsui.

Shen Jinsui turned her head and whispered to Zhou Yancong, "You can eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Ying Wenjun looked pleased to see this.

She was very satisfied with her son's performance, and then said to Shen Jinsui, "Sui Sui, Yan Cong is your boyfriend, he should take care of you."

Zhou Yihan quickly chimed in, "Auntie is right. Sui Sui, you should accept your cousin's services without any qualms."

Grandma Zhou also said, "Sui Sui, this is something Yan Cong should do."

The other two men at the table nodded silently, agreeing with everyone's statement.

Shen Jinsui gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.

Zhou Yancong reached out and took her hand, saying softly, "It's okay, let's eat first."
