Chapter 493: A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Marriage

Meanwhile, in Star City.

Fu Yingzi was listless at work today. She couldn't muster any energy and was feeling uneasy. Although her parents and younger brother had been doing something excessive recently, she was, after all, her parents who gave birth to her and raised her, and her younger brother who grew up with her.

Family ties are inseparable.

So if it weren't for Shen Yuan, she never would have thought of it coming to this.

At this time, the cell phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from lawyer Zhang Shoujin, Fu Yingzi quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Miss Fu."

The voice on the other end of the phone was polite: "Things went smoothly. Your parents agreed to your request and signed the trust."

This was expected, so Fu Yingzi was not surprised. She was more worried about other issues.

"My parents didn't say anything else, did they?"

"No, they actually care about you and asked about you and Director Shen, but I didn't mention these things."

Zhang Shoujin did not tell the truth. In fact, Fu Yingzi's parents' first reaction was to blame them, and then to question why her brother was not included in the trust.

Even in this situation, Fu Yingzi was still worried about her parents' reaction. Zhang Shoujin sighed silently in his heart, thinking that such a pair of naughty parents could actually raise such a sensible daughter.

I don’t know whether it is lucky or sad?

"Got it. Thank you, Lawyer Zhang."

"You're welcome. It's my duty. I'll prepare the documents and materials when I get to the law firm and send them to you."

"Ok."

Fu Yingzi hung up the phone and looked at her mobile phone, which contained a WeChat message from her mother.

Sure enough, it worked quickly and they no longer made a series of fatal phone calls.

Mom: "Yingzi, give me a call when you are free. I have something to ask you."

Fu Yingzi took a deep breath and dialed the number. The call was quickly connected. Yao Cuilan said in a calm tone, "Yingzi, you're not busy, are you?"

"No, Mom, you say."

"The trust that you asked the lawyer to send today has already been signed by your father and me. I'm so sorry for your kindness, Sakura. It was mom and dad who were wrong before, so don't take it to heart."

?

Fu Yingzi was a little confused. What was her mother's attitude today?

After changing her normal routine, Fu Yingzi felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yingzi, I want to ask you, are you and your boss..."

Fu Yingzi suddenly realized that this was what she really wanted to know. She interrupted and said, "Mom, ask something else."

Hearing her daughter say this, Yao Cuilan understood and her mood became even more complicated. Logically speaking, she should be happy that her daughter found a very rich man, but they had already signed a trust, so no matter how rich the man was, it had nothing to do with them.

She didn't dare mention her son's matter, for fear that it would violate the trust agreement. It was really painful.

"It's nothing. By the way, is your boss treating you well?"

"pretty good."

"That's fine."

After saying a few simple words, Fu Yingzi hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

The phone calls and messages I received recently were so suffocating, but now I’m finally free.

At the same time, Shen Yuan had arrived in Yanjing.

I always said I would come to Yanjing to see Zhou Peiwei, but I always broke my promise. This time, after coming back from Sanya, I first visited my parents and fed the NPC well, and then simply came to Yanjing.

However, this time she did not inform Zhou Peiwei in advance, but only told Luo Bingying about it.

Coming out of the airport's VIP channel, Shen Yuan and Ji Ya took the Alpha sent by the hotel to the Second Ring Road.

This time, Ji Ya booked the Mandarin Oriental Qianmen Hotel, which is located in the Caochang Hutong community within the Second Ring Road. It can be said to be the core area of ​​the Yanjing Central Axis. It is a 10-minute walk to the Tiananmen officialdom, the Forbidden City, and Qianmen Street.

The Mandarin Oriental Qianmen Hotel is a top-level luxury hotel in China. It just opened this year and broke the domestic hotel room rate record as soon as it opened.

The entire hotel has 42 guest rooms, each of which is a stand-alone courtyard house. The 525-square-meter courtyard suite, known as the Yanjing Mansion, is priced at 15 yuan per night, which is equivalent to half a suite in a small place.

Even the Waldorf Courtyard Hotel where Shen Yuan stayed before was quite different from this hotel.

The hotel reception area is at No. 1, Shitiao. As soon as you get off the car, a housekeeper will be waiting to greet you. The reception area is also converted from an old courtyard house. From the outside, it looks more like a private residence.

The inner courtyard is designed as a pool landscape, with several ancient and heavy trees standing in the center. The staggered pools and flowers look pleasing to the eye.

In addition, many old Yanjing characteristics have been added to the surrounding areas, such as the 28-inch bicycle, rickshaws, etc.

The functional areas of the hotel are also here, such as the spa, healing space, fitness center, etc. After checking in, they took a brief tour and the room manager took them to their guest rooms.

Ji Ya booked the Yanjing Mansion, the one that cost 15 yuan.

It is a bit far to walk there, so the hotel has prepared a shuttle bus. It is worth mentioning that the shuttle bus has its own heater, which can keep people warm in the autumn and winter in Yanjing.

When you enter the suite, the first thing you see is a spacious patio courtyard. The other areas are divided into three areas: living room, bedroom, and foyer. This suite has a total of 3 bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, floor-to-ceiling windows and courtyard views.

The furniture and decoration in the room are modern, but also retain the characteristics of the courtyard house. The roof is a wooden mortise and tenon structure, and there are many old Yanjing art pieces placed around it.

The check-in gifts include nuts, chocolates, bubble tea, etc., which are pretty much the same.

Shen Yuan had already stayed at the Waldorf once, so it was not very new to him. However, he could clearly feel that some details were different.

Various pads in the room, such as the remote control box and writing pad, are made of leather. Each bedroom and the living room has an air purifier, which uses Dyson's BP04. The toiletries in the bathroom are all in small aluminum bottles. Even the drinking water and free drinks in the guest rooms are either packaged in aluminum or glass, indicating that ESG is implemented throughout the hotel.

The whole house is equipped with floor heating, so you won’t feel cold at all.

After the room attendant introduced everything, he left the suite with a smile without further ado.

Shen Yuan lay on the sofa and looked at the time. There were still two hours before dinner time, so he might as well ask the two girls to come over for dinner.

First, he sent two messages to Luo Bingying, and then made a video call to Zhou Peiwei.

The video call was connected soon, and a clear and pleasant voice was lowered very low: "Hey, scumbag, what's the matter? I'm in class."

Looking at the video footage, the four white walls and the stepped tables and chairs look like a university classroom without a doubt.

Fortunately, Zhou Peiwei was sitting at the back and put her phone under the table, otherwise she would not have dared to answer the video so blatantly.

"Am I as important as class?" Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Haha, you think too highly of yourself."

Zhou Peiwei snorted: "No one comes to visit you for no reason. What's the matter? If not, let's talk after class."

"Have you thought it through?"

Shen Yuan turned the camera around and pointed it at the hotel's living room and courtyard. Zhou Peiwei looked at it with a puzzled look: "Hey, where is this? It doesn't look like your home. It looks a bit like a courtyard house."

"Siheyuan?!"

Zhou Peiwei's breathing stagnated. The courtyard house is a characteristic of Yanjing, and he called her via video at this time.

"Are you a heartless person like you coming to Yanjing?!"

She ignored the class and raised her voice, even affecting the old professor who was giving the lecture.

The gray-haired old professor pushed his glasses and said nothing. The students next to him also reminded Zhou Peiwei, and she lowered her voice. "Where are you? I still have half an hour before get out of class ends." Zhou Peiwei said anxiously.

"It's okay. Class is more important. You go to class first." Shen Yuan teased her deliberately.

"Shen Yuan!"

Zhou Peiwei stamped her feet anxiously: "Stop it, tell me where you are."

"Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Qianmen, ask Luo Bingying to come and have dinner with you. I'll ask the hotel to send a car to pick you up."

Zhou Peiwei then smiled proudly: "Okay, hehe, you have a conscience and finally came to see me."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Peiwei had no intention of attending class. Thinking of Shen Yuan's naughty look, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Even her roommate next door couldn't stand it anymore.

"Forget it, Weiwei. Don't force yourself. I know your thoughts have left school. Go back and change your clothes. I'll help you answer the phone later."

Zhou Peiwei patted her shoulder excitedly: "Good sister! I'll pack it for you tonight."

My roommate smiled and said, "Can you come back at night?"

Zhou Peiwei blushed: "I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow."

"That's pretty much it."

Zhou Peiwei quickly ran back to the dormitory, glanced at her closet, and suddenly had a headache: "Which one should I wear?"

I changed 4 sets in a row, looked at myself in the mirror over and over again, and finally decided on one set.

She put on her favorite octagonal beige beret, took out the small cloth bag at the bottom, and stuffed it into her bag with rosy cheeks.

"You bastard, you actually made me wear this kind of clothes! Since you came to see me, I'll let you off this time!"

Then she came to Luo Bingying's dormitory, but found it was locked. She looked inside through the mirror and it was empty.

Bingying is not ready yet? Doesn't she have classes in the afternoon? Why does it take so long?

After waiting at the door for ten minutes and urging on WeChat for a while, Luo Bingying hurried out.

"Bingying, what took you so long? Your face is red, what were you doing just now?"

Zhou Peiwei was very puzzled. Luo Bingying was always calm in the face of difficulties, but today she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Nothing, I was just taking a shower, let's go."

Luo Bingying quickly took her downstairs.

"Why are you taking a bath so early? That's weird."

Zhou Peiwei didn't think much about it, and his thoughts quickly flew to Shen Yuan.

In fact, if Zhou Peiwei was more careful, she would have noticed that Luo Bingying's walking posture was a little awkward.

Alpha had already parked in front of the gate of Renmin University. The two checked the license plate and got in the car. After more than half an hour, they arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Qianmen.

The hotel has two restaurants, one of which is called "Yanting" which serves Chaozhou and Cantonese cuisine. It is said that the kitchen is run by a team led by a Michelin-starred chef and a Chinese executive chef, and they specialize in Chaozhou and Cantonese cuisine.

There is also an Italian restaurant called VICINI, which employs an Italian chef.

Both girls prefer Western food, so they chose VICINI.

Ji Ya didn't want to disturb the boss and the girls, so she didn't join them. When Shen Yuan saw the two of them at the window seat, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"As expected of my first love and my current boyfriend."

Zhou Peiwei is wearing a Chanel-style jacket on the upper body and an A-line skirt + leg-revealing artifact + high boots on the lower body, which highlights her plump and proud figure.

"Shen Yuan, you didn't even come out to pick us up. You have no sincerity at all."

Zhou Peiwei was still very happy to see Shen Yuan, with joy in her eyes and brows, but when she spoke, her tone changed to blame.

Shen Yuan stood up and opened his arms: "Come, let me hug you, just to make up for it."

"Humph, you're trying to take advantage of me again. Fortunately, the weather is cold recently, so I'm wearing more clothes."

Zhou Peiwei put down her bag and hugged him.

Luo Bingying next door nodded to Shen Yuan: "Long time no see, Shen Yuan."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shen Yuan thought to himself, I checked your homework on video two days ago, how can it be said that we haven’t seen each other for a long time? But Zhou Peiwei didn’t know that, so the two could only pretend to be reunited after a long separation.

Zhou Peiwei pouted and said, "Shen Yuan, you are not even a gentleman. You should pull out the stool when you invite a girl to dinner."

"You are the only one who has many things to do."

Shen Yuan pulled out the stool next to him for Zhou Peiwei to sit on, and then pulled out a stool for Luo Bingying. After both of them sat down, Shen Yuan snapped his fingers and called the waiter over.

They ordered 3 Florentine steaks, 1 roast lamb saddle, and 1 king crab pasta, which are all their signature dishes. Shen Yuan asked the waiter to recommend appetizers and desserts, and then ordered a bottle of cocktail. Shen Yuan handed the menu back.

It is said that a short absence is better than a new marriage. Zhou Peiwei is in this state. She hasn't seen Shen Yuan for nearly half a month, and her eyes are full of emotions when she looks at him.

"Shen Yuan, why did you come here suddenly without telling me in advance?"

Zhou Peiwei held her chin with both hands, not hiding her longing at all.

"I missed you."

When saying this, Shen Yuan also glanced at Luo Bingying.

Luo Bingying lowered her head and said nothing.

"You miss me too. I thought I was the only one who missed you. You have a conscience."

Zhou Peiwei raised her chin and looked around the restaurant and the courtyard outside the window: "This hotel is very expensive, and you are the only one who can afford it."

Shen Yuan smiled but did not answer. Soon Zhou Peiwei got up and went to the bathroom, leaving Shen Yuan and Luo Bingying sitting face to face.

"It's time to hand in your homework."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Luo Bingying's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yuan: "Let's go later, we're having dinner."

"What I want is that we're eating. There's heating here. Take off your coat first, and then pass the things to me from under the table."

Hearing this, Luo Bingying's heart began beating wildly. She looked around guiltily, then shyly took off her coat, revealing her beautiful figure underneath.

Under the thick coat is a drop-shoulder camisole that reveals a large area of ​​fair skin. The chest is designed with transparent lace, which looks vaguely visible.

The cold white skin looks particularly attractive under the light.

"Where are the things?" Shen Yuan asked.

Luo Bingying opened her mouth in embarrassment: "What if we are discovered?"

Shen Yuan smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there are not many people in the restaurant, you just need to try not to be discovered by Weiwei."

Luo Bingying hesitated for a long time before she bit her teeth and took something out of her bag, holding it in her palm, then quickly handed it over under the table, like a guilty thief.

Shen Yuan took the thing, took a look at the small object, and smiled with satisfaction.

Because it's a small remote control.

"What do you think? Should we go to 2nd gear or 3rd gear?" (End of this chapter)
