Beijing Colors Lingering

A moment later, the host announced that Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong were engaged at that moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.

Upon hearing the news of their engagement, Pei Chiyu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his regret growing stronger.

Shen Jinsui was originally his girlfriend, but now she has become someone else's fiancée.

What was originally within his grasp was destroyed by his own hands.

Pei Yinzi chuckled when she noticed his reaction. Seeing his earnest, regretful expression, she found it disgusting.

Pei Yinzi shook her head and then said sarcastically, "What's the use of regretting it now? You were thinking of keeping someone as a sugar daddy back then, it's utterly ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, Pei Chiyu glanced at her, his face turning terribly gloomy, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"What? What did I say wrong?" Pei Yinzi raised an eyebrow, completely unafraid of his gaze.

Pei Chiyu gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "Pei Yinzi, can you shut up?"

Pei Yinzi rolled her eyes at him, her voice cold: "What right do you have to interfere with my freedom of speech?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between them was becoming increasingly tense, Yi Hang immediately stood between them and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Fu Yueyan was furious at Pei Chiyu's current state and didn't even bother to pretend anymore in front of her.

At this moment, on the stage of the banquet hall, Zhou Yancong accepted a large bouquet of roses handed to him by a waiter.

He held the large bouquet of roses in both hands and placed it in front of Shen Jinsui. His deep, magnetic voice slowly rang out: "Sui Sui, our engagement ceremony is about to begin."

Shen Jinsui smiled and accepted the roses from his hand.

Then, two waiters stood beside the two men, each carrying a tray.

Zhou Yancong took the ring box from the tray, took out the ring, which was an exquisite and intricate diamond ring.

The centerpiece is a large, rare pink diamond that radiates captivating brilliance.

The main diamond is surrounded by green crystals shaped like rose petals, with a delicate and transparent texture and a light green glassy luster.

The ring is exquisitely luxurious and dazzling, with the three capital letters "SJS" engraved on the inner band.

Shen Jinsui handed the bouquet to the waiter next to her, and then picked up a ring from the tray.

This is a simple men's ring with a diamond set in the center and the three capital letters "ZYC" engraved on the inner band.

Next, the two exchanged rings.

A moment later, the waiter presented the engagement certificate, and the two took out pens and signed their names on it.

A marriage certificate marks the beginning of a happy marriage.

After a while, another waiter stood beside them with a tray, and Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong picked up their wine glasses from the tray.

Soon, the two drank a toast together under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Afterwards, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong toasted the elders of both families in turn.

As the engagement ceremony drew to a close, elders from both the Cheng and Zhou families gave brief speeches to congratulate the newlyweds on their engagement.

Thus, a simple yet proper engagement ceremony came to a successful conclusion.

At this moment, Ying Wenjun walked up to Shen Jinsui with a box made of golden nanmu wood, opened it and handed it to her, slowly saying, "Suisui, this is the heirloom of the Zhou family's mistress, and now it is time to hand it over to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui looked over and saw a priceless antique jade bracelet.

Shen Jinsui was conflicted. She had originally thought that today was just an engagement ceremony, but if she accepted this gift representing the mistress of the Zhou family, the nature of the event would change.

Seeing her in a daze, Zhou Yancong quickly took the box from her and placed it in her hands.

Shen Jinsui glanced at the box in her hand, then looked up and stared at Zhou Yancong.

Zhou Yancong said calmly and naturally, "Anyway, it will belong to you sooner or later, so it's the same as accepting it now."

After thinking for a while, Shen Jinsui accepted the bracelet without hesitation. She then looked at Ying Wenjun and smiled sweetly, "Aunt Ying, I will definitely keep this bracelet safe."

Ying Wenjun nodded slightly, a kind smile on her face. "Now it belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

At that moment, Gu Shihe, standing in the crowd, remained silent as she watched the joyful scene unfold before her.

After a while, she turned to look at Grandpa Gu and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm going home now."

Before Grandpa Gu could speak, she turned and left.

Grandpa Gu sighed softly, then followed her and instructed people to keep an eye on her to prevent her from having any suicidal thoughts or causing any accidents.

Meanwhile, Ji Yan quietly watched Zhou Yancong and Shen Jinsui. Seeing that the engagement ceremony was over, he clapped along with the others and then showed a relieved smile.

Ji Yan then came to He Zhenzhen's side, handed her the gift bag, and said gently, "Zhenzhen, please give this gift to Sui Sui for me. I have to go now."

He Zhenzhen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at him and said, "The banquet is about to begin. Why don't you finish your dinner before you leave? There's no need to rush."

Ji Yan shook his head slightly, pondered for a few seconds, and then explained, "No need, the hospital has an emergency surgery right now, I need to go back immediately."

After hearing his words, He Zhenzhen knew that he really had something urgent to do, so she stopped trying to persuade him and took the gift bag from his hand.

"Thank you for your help." After saying goodbye to her and Qi Mingyuan, Ji Yan turned and walked out of the banquet hall.

He Zhenzhen stared at Ji Yan's departing figure, feeling inexplicably sad, and suddenly said, "I feel so sorry for Ji Yan."

Qi Mingyuan glanced at Ji Yan's gradually disappearing figure and slowly complained, "He likes Shen Jinsui but has never been willing to say it. Who can he blame? Not everyone can guess what he's thinking."

He Zhenzhen felt that Qi Mingyuan's words made some sense, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "If it weren't for Zhou Yancong, do you think it would be possible for him and Sui Sui to be together?"

Qi Mingyuan replied decisively, "Before Shen Jinsui met Yan Cong, Ji Yan did not confess to her, so this assumption is meaningless."

He Zhenzhen continued to imagine, "What if Sui Sui didn't know Zhou Yan Cong now, and Ji Yan confessed his feelings to her today?"

Qi Mingyuan rubbed his forehead. "Life doesn't offer so many 'what ifs.' What's missed is missed, and any assumptions are meaningless."

He Zhenzhen asked him, "How come it has no meaning?"

"He Zhenzhen, mind your own business." Qi Mingyuan frowned slightly, his tone displeased, and asked her again, "You don't still like Ji Yan, do you?"

He Zhenzhen glared at him. "I stopped liking him a long time ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, a smile that was harder to suppress than an AK appeared on Qi Mingyuan's face.

He Zhenzhen stared at him suspiciously and questioned him, "What are you laughing at?"

Qi Mingyuan then said in a serious tone, "I'm relieved to see that you gave up when faced with difficulties and didn't pursue a man who had other girls in his heart."

"Nonsense!" He Zhenzhen snorted lightly, then walked back to the private room she had just left.

Qi Mingyuan wasn't annoyed and followed behind her with a cheerful smile.
