Beijing Colors Lingering

Time is like a handful of fine sand, slipping through your fingers unnoticed.

As a cool, light autumn breeze swept through, November arrived in Beijing, and golden leaves fluttered and danced in the wind along the city's roadsides.

The first Saturday of November happened to be Shen Jinsui's birthday.

The birthday party was organized by Shen Jinsui's parents, with his grandparents offering some suggestions.

Regarding how to hold this year's birthday party, Shen Jinsui had only one request: the overall process should be simple, including her engagement ceremony with Zhou Yancong, which should not be too complicated. She said that the elders would make the decisions on the rest.

Soon, it was Saturday morning.

Thin rays of light pierced through the clouds, casting the first rays of sunlight upon the earth. The weather was cool, and a gentle breeze carried a hint of dampness.

After a quick wash, Shen Jinsui stepped out of the bathroom and had just finished drinking a cup of warm water when she heard several soft knocks on the door.

After getting off work yesterday, she returned to the Cheng family's old house, and at that moment she thought that the elders had sent the servants to call her downstairs for breakfast.

Shen Jinsui placed her water glass on the coffee table and walked towards the door. When she opened the door, a hint of doubt and surprise flashed in her beautiful, clear, fox-like eyes.

The man stood calmly and composed in the doorway, tall and imposing with a narrow waist and long legs.

The white shirt accentuated his toned upper body muscles, subtly revealing his well-defined chest muscles. The sleeves were casually rolled up, exposing a section of his clean-lined arms.

He gazed at Shen Jinsui, a gentle smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with tender affection.

Shen Jinsui looked at the man and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until the afternoon the day before yesterday?"

Zhou Yancong walked in, his thin lips curving upwards slightly. He closed the door behind him and pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead as he spoke softly, "I flew back early because I wanted to see you sooner."

Zhou Yancong went abroad a few days ago to participate in an overseas investment inspection project of Huaheng.

His original plan was to return to Beijing this afternoon, but in order to see Shen Jinsui as soon as possible, he took a plane back to China last night.

Shen Jinsui asked, "Were you on a plane when we were chatting last night?"

Zhou Yancong answered truthfully, "Yes, because I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly upon hearing this. They usually video chatted, so it was no wonder that Zhou Yancong had texted her last night.

Given Zhou Yancong's workaholic nature, Shen Jinsui guessed that he might have been working on the plane and probably hadn't slept for long, so she said to him, "Why don't you rest for a while now?"

"No need, I slept on the plane last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yancong picked up the person in his arms and carried him to the French windows, then sat down on the sofa.

Only then did Shen Jinsui belatedly realize that she was embarrassed. She was still wearing a light pink spaghetti strap nightgown, the V-neck design of which made her full breasts faintly visible.

She raised her hand and nudged Zhou Yancong, trying to stand up.

Zhou Yancong stopped Shen Jinsui from getting up and slowly lowered his gaze.

His breath hitched, his heart tightened, his throat bobbed involuntarily, his eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse as he spoke: "Baby, don't move around."

The next second, the shoulder strap of Shen Jinsui's nightgown slipped down. She subconsciously tried to pull the strap up, but her wrist was grabbed by the man.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yancong lowered his head, his gentle lips covering and lightly caressing her delicate collarbone.

Shen Jinsui felt a shiver run through her body and quickly said, "Zhou Yancong, please don't do this... I'm going to wear a skirt this afternoon, and someone might see me..."

"Yes, I know, there won't be any traces," Zhou Yancong replied vaguely.

Soon, the man's hot kisses traveled to her round, fair shoulders, and then moved to her collarbone.

After a while, it gradually moved downwards.

Shen Jinsui slowly closed her eyes, not pushing Zhou Yancong away, tacitly approving of his actions.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and she actually missed him a lot.

She tilted her head slightly, her body trembling slightly, and unconsciously raised her wrist, her slender, soft fingers slowly running through the man's thick, black hair.

After a while, Zhou Yancong raised his head, then turned his head to touch her nose, and their lips slowly met.

The warm, moist air sprayed onto Shen Jinsui's face, her fair, jade-like ear tips were already tinged with red, and her snow-white cheeks were also flushed.

Then, Zhou Yancong carefully bit her soft, rosy lips with just the right amount of force.

Shen Jinsui felt a slight stinging and tingling sensation on her lips, and couldn't help but reach out and hug Zhou Yancong tightly.

After a long while, Zhou Yancong released her lips, then straightened her nightgown and gently stroked her back with his large hand.

Zhou Yancong realized that Shen Jinsui hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and he had kissed her for so long. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and low: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

Shen Jinsui chuckled softly. She hadn't refused at all, which could be considered as being smitten by the man.

A moment later, Zhou Yancong placed her in the seat next to him, saying, "After you change your clothes, we'll go downstairs for breakfast."

"it is good."

Shen Jinsui then got up and went into the bathroom to tidy herself up, then went to the dressing room next door and put on a comfortable set of casual clothes.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw Cheng Yu walking in from outside.

Cheng Yu's gaze swept across their faces, then he walked to Zhou Yancong's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, teasingly saying, "Brother-in-law, this is the Cheng family home, be more careful next time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui's cheeks flushed red. She pursed her lips and gave an awkward smile.

The older brother must have noticed that they were kissing just now.

Zhou Yancong glanced calmly at Cheng Yu, ignoring him.

"Brother, let's go eat first." After she finished speaking, she quickly pulled Zhou Yancong towards the restaurant.

Cheng Yu chuckled softly and shook his head slightly.

After lunch, the team that was in charge of styling Shen Jinsui arrived at the Cheng family's old house.

A few days ago, Shen Jinzhi had the housekeeper prepare an empty room for her daughter to do her makeup and styling.

Zhou Yancong originally wanted to follow Shen Jinsui into the room to help her with her makeup and styling.

However, Shen Jinsui wanted to wait until she was fully dressed before appearing in front of Zhou Yancong, to retain a sense of mystery.

Therefore, Shen Jinsui pushed Zhou Yancong into Cheng Yu's study and specifically instructed him not to disturb her.

After a long while, Shen Jinsui changed into a dress with the help of several designers.

She stood in front of a huge floor-length mirror, wearing a pair of diamond-encrusted silver stilettos.

She wore a gradient champagne-colored long dress, the fabric shimmering subtly, the loose skirt trailing on the ground, and the hem adorned with dazzling diamonds, like twinkling stars.

The waist of the dress is adorned with delicate and intricate patterns outlined in gold thread, and the well-tailored design cleverly showcases her slender and graceful figure.

The design features a shallow V-neck, revealing fair skin that is as delicate and smooth as mutton fat jade.

Her long, jet-black hair, as smooth as seaweed, was carefully styled and draped over her chest. A large gemstone necklace adorned her long, fair neck, and a pair of dazzling diamond earrings hung from her delicate earlobes.

A moment later, the man's tall figure appeared in the mirror.
