Beijing Colors Lingering

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong lowered his eyes, looked at Shen Jinsui, and spoke without hesitation, his tone gentle: "I don't believe you. Even if what she said is true, I won't care. That's your past. As long as your present and future belong to me, that's enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui still looked at Zhou Yancong and asked him, "Are you telling the truth?"

“Of course.” Zhou Yancong took her hand and walked into the elevator.

Shen Jinsui blinked, a slight smile curving her lips, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "You really don't mind at all that I've dated other people before?"

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, led her into the elevator, and his clear, magnetic voice slowly rang out: "Having dating experience is a very normal thing, of course I don't mind. All I want is your present and your future."

As the elevator doors closed, Shen Jinsui turned to stare at Zhou Yancong, her eyes crinkling with a lively and charming expression. She teased him with a smile, "You're already twenty-eight years old this year, how come you have no dating experience?"

Zhou Yancong replied earnestly, "Because I didn't have this idea before I met you. I only wanted to be in a relationship after I fell in love with you."

Shen Jinsui poked Zhou Yancong's arm with the fingers of her other hand, her voice clear and gentle: "I've noticed that you're getting better and better at saying nice things, so smooth-talking."

"I told the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator reached the second floor, and Zhou Yancong led Shen Jinsui out of the elevator at a leisurely pace.

“We actually met several years ago.”

After Shen Jinsui finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and chuckled softly, two dimples appearing on her lips, making her look sly and playful. "If you had said you liked me back then, my parents would definitely have thrown you out, and I guess my brother would have given you a good beating."

Zhou Yancong stopped, turned around and gently pulled Shen Jinsui into his arms, slowly lowering his gaze.

The man's handsome and noble features shone with a gentle and tender quality, and a smile gradually spread from the depths of his dark eyes to the corners of his eyes.

After a moment, he spoke slowly and sincerely: "So we met at the perfect time, but it would have been better if it had been a little earlier."

Shen Jinsui raised her hand to wrap around his waist, her eyes slightly curved, her clear and bright round fox eyes seemed to have sparkling light, her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft: "But it's not too late now."

Zhou Yancong leaned down, his forehead touching hers. "Yes, baby is right."

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, a cough broke the intimate and sweet atmosphere between the two.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jinsui quickly stepped out of Zhou Yancong's arms and saw Cheng Yu standing not far away.

Zhou Yancong glanced at Cheng Yu, his gaze, which seemed to look at a third wheel, revealing a hint of displeasure and disgust.

This good brother, who has become their brother-in-law, keeps suddenly appearing in front of them, which is really a killjoy.

Cheng Yu raised an eyebrow, pretending not to see Zhou Yancong's expression, and said slowly, "Dinner is about to start."

Zhou Yancong ignored him and led Shen Jinsui toward the private room.

Shen Jinsui glanced back at Cheng Yu and gave an embarrassed smile.

When He Zhenzhen saw Shen Jinsui enter the private room, she handed her Ji Yan's gift and then said, "Ji Yan said there was an emergency surgery at the hospital, and he has already left."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded slightly upon hearing this. She knew that doctors were busy, so she didn't ask any more questions and took the gift bag from He Zhenzhen.

After a long while, the banquet ended, and Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong politely bid farewell to their respective elders.

Zhou Yancong declined his friends' suggestion to go somewhere else, and then left the hotel with Shen Jinsui.

All the birthday gifts Shen Jinsui received today were sent back to Yujingyuan first, and she will slowly open them tomorrow.

-

Traffic flowed like shuttles on the wide road. Shen Jinsui looked out the car window and took in the bustling and prosperous city night scene, with dazzling neon lights illuminating the night sky.

A few minutes later, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Shen Jinsui then turned to the side, staring at Zhou Yancong suspiciously, and asked, "This isn't the way back to Yujing Garden. Where are we going?"

Zhou Yancong replied, "I haven't given you your birthday present yet. I'll take you to see it now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui raised her left hand, shook her palm slightly, and the ring on her middle finger shone brightly. She smiled and said, "Isn't this your birthday present to me? And those roses in the hotel too."

Zhou Yancong took her hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said gently, "The roses in the hotel are not a birthday gift, and the ring is just something a fiancé should prepare."

Hearing him say that, Shen Jinsui didn't continue. She smiled and asked curiously, "So what birthday present did you prepare for me?"

Zhou Yancong kissed her fingers again, his eyes gentle and tender. "You'll know soon enough."

After a long while, a dark blue Rolls-Royce Sweptai stopped in front of a manor, and a magnificent and grand gate came into view.

The door frame is carved with delicate and exquisite patterns, with smooth and beautiful textures.

Tall stone pillars stand on either side of the gate, with intricate reliefs of flying dragons in the sky carved on them.

Beside each of the two stone pillars stands a majestic and imposing stone lion.

The grandeur and majesty of the manor entrance alone are evident, showcasing the owner's taste and status.

Upon seeing this, several gatekeepers saluted them, and then the gate slowly opened to both sides automatically.

The car then drove through a classical garden, past a giant European-style fountain, and stopped in front of a six-story building.

After getting out of the car, Shen Jinsui glanced around at the surrounding scenery.

This is a manor, and all the lights outside are on, making it as bright as day.

The antique architectural style is perfectly blended with modern luxury facilities, including a variety of high-tech equipment.

There is a large helipad next to the building, where a helicopter is parked.

Shen Jinsui looked at the man standing beside her. The cool moonlight outlined his deep and three-dimensional features. She then asked him, "Is this where you usually live?"

Zhou Yancong explained to her carefully, "Well, I used to live here, but after I met you, I started living in Yujingyuan."

Shen Jinsui asked him, "So you moved to Yujingyuan because of me?"

Zhou Yancong readily admitted, "Yes, I had planned to stay there after I sent you back to Yujingyuan."

Shen Jinsui smiled upon hearing this and then teased him, "You have quite a few ways of pursuing people, it doesn't seem like this is your first time pursuing a girl."

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly, led her into the building, and calmly said, "I'm self-taught."

The two then entered the elevator.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the top floor, and Zhou Yancong led Shen Jinsui outside, then into the master bedroom.

The next moment, Shen Jinsui saw a large expanse of red roses, and the fresh and elegant fragrance of the flowers instantly wafted over her. A pile of gifts was placed in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.

Shen Jinsui walked over slowly and saw an extremely luxurious crown on the table, inlaid with several crystal-clear diamonds, sparkling and radiant.

Next to it is a pair of exquisite high heels, with the heels and uppers studded with countless diamonds, dazzling and highly collectible.

On the other side was an expensive and exquisite diamond evening bag and a sports car key.

"Happy birthday, baby." Zhou Yancong hugged Shen Jinsui from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "These are all birthday gifts I carefully prepared. Do you like them?"

Shen Jinsui nodded gently and smiled sweetly, "I like it very much."

Zhou Yancong kissed the back of her ear, his warm breath spraying onto her cheek.

Shen Jinsui's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but turn her head slightly.

A moment later, the man's deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear: "There's one last birthday present. I don't know if you'd be willing to accept it."
