Beijing Colors Lingering

The woman looked at Ji Yan, her red lips slightly upturned, and slowly explained her purpose: "Does Dr. Ji have time now? I'd like to talk to you about something."

Ji Yan stared at the woman, hesitated, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Dr. Ji, we met at Shen Jinsui's birthday party a few days ago."

After speaking, Ji Yan thought carefully for a long time before finally remembering who she was.

On the day of Shen Jinsui's birthday banquet, Mr. Gu from the Gu family took the initiative to introduce his granddaughter, Gu Sihe, to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan and Gu Sihe both understood Mr. Gu's thoughts at the time, and after listening to him, they both politely declined.

Ji Yan snapped out of his reverie, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He wondered what Gu Sihe wanted from him. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Miss Gu, is there something you need? Is there something wrong with Mr. Gu's health?"

Gu Sihe did not answer his question, but chuckled softly, then looked around and said, "Dr. Ji, this is not the place to talk."

Ji Yan thought Gu Sihe had something important to say, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then let's go to my office first, but I have surgery this morning, so I can't talk to you for too long."

"Mm." Gu Sihe nodded.

The hospital has always valued Ji Yan highly, and not long ago they even arranged a private office for him.

Afterwards, Ji Yan led Gu Sihe into his office.

He gestured for Gu Sihe to sit on the sofa, then took a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to her, before leaving the office door slightly ajar.

Seeing Ji Yan sit down on the sofa opposite her, Gu Sihe smiled and casually asked, "Dr. Ji, do you like Shen Jinsui?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yan frowned instantly, then lifted his eyelids to look at her, his tone somewhat cold as he asked, "Miss Gu, what brings you here to see me today?"

Gu Sihe chuckled softly and slowly said, "Dr. Ji, if you like Shen Jinsui, perhaps I can help you."

Ji Yan's expression gradually darkened, and he said coldly, "Miss Gu, if you don't have anything important to say, please leave. Don't delay my work."

Gu Sihe said calmly, "Dr. Ji, this is what I want to talk about today."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan glanced at her coldly, his voice tinged with anger: "Miss Gu, I am very busy with work, please do not waste my time."

Gu Sihe stared at his expression and tentatively asked, "You've liked Shen Jinsui for so many years, are you really willing to see her with someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan pursed his lips, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "She is already engaged to Zhou Yancong."

Gu Sihe noticed Ji Yan's fleeting reaction, and just as she had guessed, he liked Shen Jinsui.

Gu Sihe chuckled lightly, unconcerned, and spoke calmly: "They're not married, I can help you get Shen Jinsui."

Ji Yan closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, and said in a cold voice, "Miss Gu, please don't do such a meaningless thing."

Gu Sihe was unconcerned about his attitude and said softly, "I genuinely want to help you, and at the same time, I want to help myself."

Ji Yan was surprised to hear Gu Sihe's words, and then asked her, "You like Zhou Yancong?"

"Yes." Gu Sihe nodded frankly in admission, and then added, "I almost got engaged to him."

Ji Yan was taken aback by her answer, then asked, "Did you date Zhou Yancong before?"

Gu Sihe smiled slightly but did not answer his question. Instead, she coaxed him, "Dr. Ji, please think carefully about what I just said. After all, they are not married yet, so we still have a chance."

Ji Yan remained silent, his eyes filled with complex emotions, staring at her without uttering a word.

Seeing that Ji Yan remained silent, Gu Sihe continued, "Dr. Ji, we can become partners and each get what we need."

Ji Yan looked at Gu Sihe, his expression softening slightly. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Sihe's smile deepened, her mood suddenly brightened, and she parted her red lips slightly: "Dr. Ji, let's exchange contact information first."

"Hmm." Ji Yan took his phone out of his work uniform pocket.

……

After a long while, Gu Sihe walked out of Ji Yan's office with a faint smile.

Ji Yan stared at her departing figure, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Afterwards, Gu Sihe took the elevator to the hospital parking lot and drove out of the parking lot.

After returning to the Gu family villa, Gu Sihe made a phone call. Upon hearing the other party's reply, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, remember to tell me as soon as possible, and I'll have someone transfer the money to your account right now."

A moment later, Gu Sihe hung up the phone, a triumphant smile spreading across her face. There was nothing she couldn't get from childhood to adulthood.

Gu Sihe recalled that on Shen Jinsui's birthday, Grandpa Gu saw Ji Yan talking to the Cheng family elders in a very familiar manner, so he took her to go and greet Ji Yan.

Gu Sihe naturally understood her grandfather's thoughts, and after politely declining, she didn't say anything more.

In the following time, Gu Sihe noticed that Ji Yan was standing on the side of Shen Jinsui's friends.

Not long after, Gu Sihe inadvertently discovered that Ji Yan's gaze towards Shen Jinsui seemed to be the same as her gaze towards Zhou Yancong, so she guessed that Ji Yan might like Shen Jinsui.

The next day, Gu Sihe hired a private investigator to investigate the relationship between Ji Yan and Shen Jinsui.

She soon learned that Ji Yan's mother had been Shen Jinsui's caregiver and was now in a vegetative state in the hospital. The two would occasionally visit Ji Yan's mother together in the hospital.

However, Gu Sihe did not dare to continue investigating Shen Jinsui and Ji Yan's affairs, fearing that her actions would attract the attention of the Cheng family, so she only allowed the private investigator to stop here.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Sihe decided to come to the hospital to find Ji Yan in person, wanting to test whether he liked Shen Jinsui.

She came to the hospital today with a gambler's mentality. If Ji Yan didn't like Shen Jinsui, she would just be wasting her time.

If she guesses right, it will be a huge gamble for her.

Gu Sihe tapped her phone screen with her fingers, a slight smile playing on her lips. At least her trip hadn't been in vain.
