Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 62 Your delicate beauty was almost bullied.
Shen Guining frowned slightly.

She has already made her rejection very clear; it would be impolite to persist.

The other person stared straight at her. "Miss Shen, surely you won't even give me this much face?"

Shen Guining was increasingly disgusted and was about to speak when another voice came first: "How much face do you have? The beautiful woman has already rejected you, so don't keep pestering her."

Shen Guining turned her head and saw Su Yucheng strolling over with leisurely steps.

The man who was rebuked turned pale, but upon recognizing the person, he dared not say anything and kept a low profile, saying, "President Su, I'm sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he slunk away.

Shen Guining thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for getting me out of that predicament."

"It was nothing." Su Yucheng raised an eyebrow. "Why haven't I seen you and Ci-ge hanging out lately?"

Shen Guining paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Mr. Qu and I are no longer together."

Su Yuchen was a little surprised.

No wonder I haven't been able to get him to come out lately.

"I have to go back now, Mr. Su, goodbye," Shen Guining said.

Su Yuchen nodded, and after she walked away, he took out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

The call connected, and the person on the other end asked simply and directly, "What's up?"

Su Yuchen said leisurely, "With you gone, your delicate beauty was almost bullied."

Zhu Sixuan had a holiday for New Year's Day, so she bought a plane ticket for the 31st to come and see Shen Guining, and they made plans to spend New Year's Eve together.

That afternoon, as soon as rehearsal ended, Shen Guining took a taxi straight to the airport to pick someone up.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and upon meeting, they excitedly embraced.

"I missed you so much, Ningbao!" Zhu Sixuan hugged Shen Guining's waist and touched it. "You seem to have lost weight again?"

Shen Guining, ticklish, dodged away, "No, it's not."

Zhu Sixuan carefully examined her entire body and said with certainty, "You've definitely lost weight."

"Don't worry about that." Shen Guining smiled and took her hand. "Let's go, I've made a reservation at a restaurant, let's go eat first."

“Okay.” Zhu Sixuan didn’t bring any luggage. She was only staying for one day, so she only brought a tote bag containing disposable clothes and daily necessities.

I left the airport terminal, but the taxi I took hadn't arrived yet.

The two waited by the roadside for a while.

The traffic flowed like a tide, and the sounds of footsteps mingled with the clatter of luggage wheels.

Shen Guining looked around and saw a very familiar minivan parked by the roadside, waiting.

Her heart skipped a beat.

A moment later, that tall and slender figure came into view, followed by two assistants.

He was dressed in a navy blue suit, with a crisp cut and excellent tailoring that perfectly accentuated his figure, and he strode in with long legs.

Ten meters away, our eyes suddenly met.

Shen Guining's expression froze.

The man's gaze lingered on her for only a moment before shifting away, as indifferent as if he were a stranger.

Han Yi stepped forward and opened the back door of the car.

Qu Yanci bent down and got into the car.

The car door closed again.

A moment later, the van sped away.

Shen Guining's eyes were dry from the wind, and her eyelashes trembled slowly.

Zhu Sixuan, having missed what had just happened, waved her hand in front of Ning Bao's face and asked, "What are you looking at, Ning Bao?"

Shen Guining looked away. "It's nothing."

She suppressed her disappointment and bitterness, and said, "The car is here, let's go."

"Ah."

The streets were bustling with activity on New Year's Eve.

The streets and alleys were decorated with festive and eye-catching red.

It was brightly lit and radiant.

After having dinner at the restaurant, Shen Guining and Zhu Sixuan took a taxi to Lingsi Street.

Tonight, Sanlitun and the pedestrian street were too crowded, all packed together and making it difficult to move, so I had to give up. Lingsi Street is a century-old street, a gathering place for food culture, with a dazzling array of stalls.

Zhu Sixuan was overwhelmed by the sight. "I wish I hadn't eaten so much earlier. There were so many snacks."

Shen Guining smiled and said, "You can pack it up and take it home. You can eat it when you're hungry tonight."

Zhu Sixuan nodded, "That works too."

The crowds were bustling, and the sub-zero temperature didn't feel cold at all; instead, I worked up a sweat walking around.

At the end of the long street, there is a wishing stall that attracts many passersby, who gather in twos and threes under the tree to hang red ribbons and wishing plaques.

Zhu Sixuan was very interested and pulled Shen Guining along.

I heard from passersby that wishes made under this banyan tree are very effective, especially in terms of academic and career success.

Without saying a word, Zhu Sixuan took out her phone and scanned the QR code to pay.

The shop owner smiled and handed them two blank wishing plaques, saying, "May all your wishes come true, young ladies."

Shen Guining reached out and took it, saying "Thank you."

"Ning Bao, what are you promising?"

As Zhu Sixuan asked the question, she picked up a pen and wrote four words without hesitation: "Promotion and sudden wealth."

Shen Guining thought for a moment, "Then I hope we are safe, healthy, and happy."

Whether a wish comes true or not is another matter, but it is a way to express one's hopes and aspirations.

After shopping, they found a square to watch the light show and the parade of floats.

As midnight approached, all the screens began their countdown.

The place was bustling with activity and overflowing with enthusiasm.

Shen Guining and Zhu Sixuan exchanged a knowing smile and said in unison, "Happy New Year."

My ears were filled with the deafening cheers.

"I also wish Mr. Qu a Happy New Year," Shen Guining silently added in her heart.

I got home at 1 a.m.

The sound of the door opening woke Ruby up, and she walked to the door with sleepy eyes.

Zhu Sixuan happily patted it, "Ruby! I'm so glad to finally meet you! How did you grow so fast?"

She looked like a little chubby baby in the photos before, but now she's gotten much rounder.

The little guy, smelling the familiar scent, scurried towards Shen Guining's feet in a daze.

Zhu Sixuan exclaimed, "So cute! Doesn't your heart melt when you see it after get off work?"

"Yes, I can't live without it anymore." Shen Guining smiled and carried the little guy back to his bed to sleep. She said, "Sixuan, go take a shower first. I'll find you some pajamas. There are new toiletries in the bathroom, in the cabinet above the sink. Just call me if you need anything."

"Okay, got it."

After washing up, taking a shower, and doing my skincare routine, it was already 2 a.m. before I knew it.

The two squeezed onto one bed. Zhu Sixuan wasn't sleepy at all and took out her phone to start editing photos.

I took a lot of photos today; it was a huge project.

Shen Guining doesn't know how to edit photos, so she can't help her with that.

Zhu Sixuan was envious and jealous, "Baby, you look so good in every photo, I won't Photoshop you."

Shen Guining smiled and said okay.

She sat leaning against the headboard, organizing photo albums, habitually categorizing photos for easy retrieval later.

I stumbled upon a photo of a profile I took a few months ago. It was a bit blurry, with light and shadow flashing past the car window. I snapped the photo in a panic.

At that time, I had just met Mr. Qu and tried every means to pester him, doing a lot of shameless things that seem unbelievable now.

"Ningning, are you happy now?" Zhu Sixuan suddenly asked her.

Shen Guining hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, I'm happy. I'm quite satisfied with this kind of life."

She can do what she likes, doesn't have to be forced into an arranged marriage, and even has a puppy.

I just sometimes feel like there's a small void in my heart.

Zhu Sixuan stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her, and said, "But I feel like you're not as happy as you used to be."
