Beijing Colors Lingering

Shen Jinsui smiled when she saw the person who came, lifted her skirt and twirled around gently. Her fluffy, soft long curly hair swayed slightly with her movements, and the skirt drew a beautiful arc in the air, shimmering with tiny sparkles.

A moment later, her eyebrows curved into crescents, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and melodious: "Do I look good in this dress?"

Zhou Yancong walked behind her, bent down and embraced her, gazing at her face in the mirror.

Her fair and flawless skin had a faint rose hue, her eyebrows were delicately drawn, her eyelashes were long and thick, her clear and lively round fox eyes were slightly upturned, her nose was straight and elegant, and her lips were bright and luscious.

The exquisite and flawless makeup only added a touch of color to her already bright and beautiful features.

After a while, Zhou Yancong kissed the back of her ear, a soft curve appearing on his lips. "Beautiful."

Shen Jinsui dodged his kiss and asked again, "How does that compare to my usual self?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Yancong replied, "They are all beautiful."

Shen Jinsui snorted, turned around and pushed him away, saying coquettishly, "You smooth talker."

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, his tone sincere: "I'm telling the truth."

After saying that, Zhou Yancong pulled her into his arms again and kissed her temple.

"Cough cough!"

A sudden cough broke the intimate atmosphere between the two.

Shen Jinsui looked towards the door and saw that it was her brother, Cheng Yu. She smiled awkwardly and then stepped out of Zhou Yancong's arms.

Cheng Yu leaned lazily against the door frame and said in a deep voice, "You two stop being so lovey-dovey and get ready to go to the hotel now."

Soon, Zhou Yancong took Shen Jinsui's hand and walked outside.

For the birthday banquet of the Cheng family's youngest daughter, almost all the prominent families and celebrities in Beijing were invited.

However, the Cheng family refused entry to any media outlets and specially arranged for several security personnel to guard the hotel entrance.

The banquet was held at a seven-star hotel under the Lingyue Group. The hotel closed several days in advance to prepare for the banquet.

Shen Jinsui only invited He Xiaoxiao, Ding Jiayi, Yu Qing, and editor-in-chief Zhao Ying to her workplace, Xingyun Animation Company.

The group was stunned as soon as they entered the banquet hall. They had guessed that Shen Jinsui's birthday banquet would be very luxurious, but they did not expect it to be so extravagant, even booking out the entire hotel.

Countless red Carola roses and Juliet roses were displayed at the hotel entrance and in the largest banquet hall. Each flower was vibrant and fresh, with glistening dewdrops on its petals.

Above the ceiling, an exquisite and intricate crystal chandelier shimmered with dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall.

Colorful balloons decorate every corner of the banquet hall, and various dreamy crystal ornaments of different shapes are placed in different places. Famous artworks from home and abroad are hung on the walls.

The beautiful cello music, accompanied by the piano melody, flowed gently throughout the banquet hall.

Inside the magnificent banquet hall, glasses clinked and voices mingled, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere as guests continuously entered the hall.

The hotel's waiters were all dressed in uniform, elegant staff uniforms. They moved about the banquet hall in an orderly fashion, with clear division of labor, and dared not make the slightest mistake.

They glanced curiously at the guests who had already arrived, all of whom were well-known elites and dignitaries in Beijing. From their conversation, they learned that today was the birthday banquet of the Cheng family's youngest daughter.

The group exchanged glances and quickly guessed Shen Jinsui's identity.

They only knew that Shen Jinsui was a rich second generation, but they never expected that she was actually the youngest daughter of the Cheng family with such a distinguished background. However, they couldn't figure out why Shen Jinsui didn't have the surname Cheng.

At that moment, Pei Chiyu and Fu Yueyan appeared at the hotel entrance with invitations. After being checked by security personnel, they walked towards the banquet hall.

Fu Yueyan walked into the hall and began to look around at the elaborately decorated birthday party, feeling somewhat uneasy.

As a wealthy heiress, she didn't celebrate her birthday in such a lavish and grand manner, nor did she hold such a high-profile and extravagant engagement banquet with Pei Chiyu.

While Fu Yueyan and Pei Chiyu were talking with others, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the hall.

The two looked over curiously and saw a group of people being escorted in by hotel staff and a group of bodyguards.

Among the guests present, several people recognized them and tried to approach them with smiles, but were immediately blocked by the bodyguards standing beside them.

The next second, Fu Yueyan and Pei Chiyu both saw two familiar figures: Shen Jinsui and the man they had seen at the hotel last time. They were walking in hand in hand.

At that moment, Yi Hang happened to walk up to Pei Chiyu's side and followed his gaze to see Shen Jinsui and the man beside her.

Yi Hang immediately sensed that this man was either rich or noble.

A moment later, he looked away and immediately noticed an extremely complicated expression on Pei Chiyu's face.

Yi Hang curled his lip, patted Pei Chiyu on the shoulder, and added insult to injury without any politeness: "What? Are you unhappy that Shen Jinsui has a new boyfriend?"

Fu Yueyan glanced at Pei Chiyu and casually said, "Who knows if they're boyfriend and girlfriend? What if it's not a proper relationship?"

Yi Hang raised an eyebrow and looked up at Fu Yueyan, "They look like boyfriend and girlfriend, how could they possibly have an improper relationship?"

Yi Hang had seen it clearly just now: the man carefully escorted Shen Jinsui into the banquet hall, keeping his attention on her at all times.

Pei Chiyu ignored them and walked towards the sofa in the corner. He suddenly remembered what happened at the hotel that day.

Zhou Yancong actually brought Shen Jinsui here. Are the two of them really dating?

At the same time, Gu Shihe, who was chatting with a friend, also heard the noise at the door. She turned her head and immediately noticed Zhou Yancong and the woman beside him.

Gu Shihe recognized her at first glance as the woman she had met at Huaheng.

Gu Shihe suddenly sneered. She was quite a capable woman, managing to get Zhou Yancong to bring her to such a public occasion.

Meanwhile, Shen Jinsui and the others headed towards the private rooms upstairs in the banquet hall.

Just as Shen Jinsui was about to step into the private room, she saw her cousin Cheng Yi, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, walking towards her. He was wearing a neat and tidy military uniform, with handsome and cold features, a tall and upright figure, and a sharp temperament.

"Happy birthday, Sui Sui." Cheng Yi handed the gift bag to Shen Jin Sui.

"Thank you, cousin." Shen Jinsui smiled and took the things from his hands.

Then, Cheng Yi nodded slightly to Zhou Yancong, and the two exchanged a brief greeting.

Next, Shen Jinsui saw several of her brother's friends, Ye Jinwen, Xu Tingzhou, He Sinian and Qi Minglang, whom she already knew.

After exchanging greetings, the group took their seats. A short while later, several of Cheng Yu's other friends also arrived at the private room.

Shen Jinsui looked up and saw that she only recognized one of them: Zhong Baihao from the Zhong family in Hong Kong.

Soon, through her brother's introduction, Shen Jinsui learned the identities of the other people: Rong Yanxiu and his sister Rong Youyi from the Rong family of Hong Kong, and Lin Shengan from the Lin family of Hong Kong.

Then, Zhou Yancong introduced Shen Jinsui to them as his girlfriend.

Then, Zhou Yancong said to Shen Jinsui, "Rong Yanxiu and Rong Youyi are my cousins."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui looked over and said to Zhou Yancong, "Your cousin and cousin are both very good-looking."

Zhou Yancong stared intently at her, then suddenly asked, "You think my cousin is handsome?"

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded.

Zhou Yancong pursed his lips slightly, tapped the edge of the table lightly with his fingertips, and spoke casually in a lazy, deep voice: "So, who is more attractive?"

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She had just said it casually, what a child.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Zhou Yancong reached out and took her hand, squeezing it gently to signal her to answer the question.

Shen Jinsui gave Zhou Yancong a standard, emotionless smile. "Of course you're prettier."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Zhou Yancong looked very happy.

Cheng Yu, who was sitting next to Zhou Yancong, overheard their conversation and gave him a disdainful look.
