Beijing Colors Lingering

On Saturday afternoon, Shen Jinsui drove a pink Lamborghini Aventador studded with several diamonds out of Yujingyuan.

After the car arrived safely at the hospital's parking garage, Shen Jinsui got out and took the elevator.

"Ding."

When the elevator arrived at the floor where Aunt Ji's ward was located, Shen Jinsui stepped out of the elevator and saw Ji Yan standing outside waiting for her.

When Ji Yan saw her, he smiled gently and said, "Sui Sui."

Shen Jinsui casually asked, "How long have you been at the hospital?"

As Ji Yan walked forward, he answered her, "I only got here a few minutes earlier than you."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly, "Okay, then let's go see Aunt Ji first."

"can."

Ji Yan nodded, and then walked into his mother's hospital room with Shen Jinsui.

After a while, Ji Yan left the ward and went into the on-duty doctor's office to learn about his mother's recent treatment.

A few minutes later, Shen Jinsui's Bluetooth headset rang with a phone call. She glanced down and saw it was Zhou Yancong.

Shen Jinsui's lips curved slightly as she got up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the ward.

She answered the phone, and her deep, pleasant voice came through the receiver the next second: "Baby, what are you doing?"

Shen Jinsui replied, "My friend and I are outside. What about you?"

Zhou Yancong assumed that Shen Jinsui was having a gathering with He Zhenzhen and the others, so he didn't ask any further questions.

He then spoke, his voice soft and deep: "I just finished a meeting and I'm in my office now. I have to go discuss a project later."

Upon hearing that Zhou Yancong had such a busy work schedule, Shen Jinsui immediately asked him, "Did you eat lunch on time?"

“Yes, of course I eat on time,” Zhou Yancong replied.

Shen Jinsui instructed him, "Okay, remember to eat dinner in the evening too. Don't wait until you finish work to eat, or you'll get a stomachache."

Zhou Yancong's lips curled up slightly, and he spoke in a cheerful tone: "Baby, I know."

Shen Jinsui pouted and muttered, "Don't just promise me verbally, then get so engrossed in work at night that you forget to eat on time."

Zhou Yancong chuckled softly and earnestly assured her, "Baby, I will absolutely listen to you."

"you……"

Just as Shen Jinsui was about to say something more, a gentle, refined voice suddenly sounded behind her, interrupting her—

"Sui Sui, why are you out here?"

The next moment, Zhou Yancong recognized the voice on the other end of the phone. His expression froze instantly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, "Baby, are you with Ji Yan?"

A hint of unease flashed across Shen Jinsui's face. After a forced laugh, she explained to Zhou Yancong, "Yes, he and I came to the hospital to visit Aunt Ji."

Zhou Yancong remained unusually silent upon hearing this.

Listening to his breathing, Shen Jinsui seemed to sense that he was in a bad mood and even jealous, so she quickly said, "Ji Yan said he had something to tell me, so I came to the hospital with him and also to visit Aunt Ji."

"Okay." Zhou Yanzong replied in a deep voice, "I'm busy now, you should go home early."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui could tell that Zhou Yancong was definitely unhappy. After thinking for a moment, she coaxed him softly, "I'll come to Jingsheng to keep you company tomorrow, so don't be upset."

Zhou Yancong said gently, "Baby, I'm not unhappy."

"Then see you tomorrow." Shen Jinsui could tell from his words that he was clearly unhappy. She couldn't explain it over the phone now, so she would have to wait until he returned to Beijing to explain properly.

After Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong hung up the phone, Ji Yan happened to walk up to her. Seeing her displeased expression, he immediately asked, "Were you talking to someone just now? Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were on the phone."

Shen Jinsui pursed her red lips and gently shook her head.

This was ultimately none of Ji Yan's business. She was wearing a Bluetooth headset when she made a phone call with Zhou Yancong, so it was normal that Ji Yan didn't notice.

She then took off her Bluetooth earphones and put them back into the earphone case.

Shen Jinsui suddenly remembered the purpose of her meeting with Ji Yan today, and then asked him, "By the way, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

Ji Yan nodded, pondered for a while, and then said, "Sui Sui, I will be sent abroad to study for two years in a while, and I will hardly have time to return to Beijing. I would like to have dinner with you tonight as a farewell dinner."

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; it turned out that Ji Yan was referring to this matter.

As a friend she had known for many years, it was reasonable for her to have a farewell dinner with Ji Yan. However, considering that Zhou Yancong had just been angry and jealous, it would be inappropriate for her to have dinner alone with Ji Yan again.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jinsui suggested, "Then I'll invite Zhenzhen and Yunshu, and we can have dinner together?"

“Okay, then you decide on the restaurant location,” Ji Yan replied.

"Ah."

After Shen Jinsui finished speaking, she unlocked her phone, entered the WeChat group chat of the three of them, and sent a text message: [Zhenzhen, Yunshu, do you have any plans for tonight?]

He Zhenzhen immediately replied: 【No arrangements.】

Qiao Yunshu: [I'm at the dessert shop right now, and I don't have any plans for tonight.]

Shen Jinsui: [Ji Yan said he's going abroad for further studies, let's have dinner together tonight as a farewell dinner for him.]

He Zhenzhen: [Sure, no problem!]

Qiao Yunshu: [Great! I was just wondering whether I should go home for dinner tonight.]

Shen Jinsui: [What do you guys want to eat tonight?]

Qiao Yunshu: [I'm fine with anything, it depends on what you like to eat.]

He Zhenzhen: [I want to go eat at that really popular Cantonese restaurant.]

Shen Jinsui: [Okay, then send me the address.]

He Zhenzhen: [OK, just give me a few seconds.]

After He Zhenzhen sent the restaurant's location, Shen Jinsui immediately turned off her phone.

She looked at Ji Yan and said, "I've already told them we'll go to the restaurant later."

"Okay." Ji Yan nodded.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yancong remained silent after hanging up the phone.

After a long while, a knock on the door brought him back to his senses.

Zhou Yancong pressed the electronic screen on the desktop, and then Yan Ze pushed open the door and entered, standing in front of the desk, bowing slightly and saying, "Chairman Zhou, the meeting is about to begin."

Zhou Yancong tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice, "Contact the bodyguards protecting Sui Sui now and have them tell me her schedule for tonight."

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Ze's eyes. Even though he felt it was strange, he remained calm on the surface and immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Zhou."

The two female bodyguards who were secretly protecting Miss Shen were only responsible for her personal safety and never had to report her whereabouts to Chairman Zhou. Yan Ze did not expect that Chairman Zhou would give such an order today.

-

About an hour later, Shen Jinsui and Ji Yan arrived at a Cantonese restaurant in the city center.

Shen Jinsui had booked a private room. When the two of them went in, He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu had not yet arrived.

The waiter then presented two menus, handed them to them, and asked what kind of tea they would like.

Ji Yan looked at Shen Jinsui, indicating that she could make the decision.

Shen Jinsui understood and looked at the waiter, replying, "Pu'er tea."

"Okay." The waiter smiled and nodded in agreement, then stood aside to brew tea, and poured hot tea into the two cups.

After a while, Ji Yan saw the waiter leave the private room, pondered for a few seconds, and then slowly said, "Sui Sui, there is actually something else I want to tell you."
