Cheng Zhiyi shyly raised her head, but saw Xu Shaoyan with a completely surprised expression. His eyes were completely glued to her body, his eyes bursting with surprise, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably rising, his eyebrows and eyelashes full of smiles, he nodded repeatedly saying: "Really beautiful, really beautiful... this dress is too fitting, you look really beautiful in it..."

  Perhaps this is what they call "beauty that shocks the heavens and moves the earth"? Xu Shaoyan was completely stunned by Cheng Qiyin's beauty and elegance, nodding his head in admiration and smiling, unable to stop praising her.

  To be honest, he had seen women as beautiful as Cheng Zhiyi before, but he had never seen a woman with such outstanding temperament, nor had he seen a woman so elegant and reserved. Her beauty revealed a hint of freshness, her reserve revealed a hint of shyness.

  Rosy cheeks, autumn water-like sparkling eyes, a faint smile at the corner of her mouth... Is this a woman who has walked out of a painting? Or is she an immortal fairy who doesn't eat human food? She's really too beautiful!

  He's indeed worthy of being Xu Shaoyan's favorite woman!

  He unknowingly walked up to Cheng Zhiyi's front, gently kissed her smooth forehead, and sincerely praised: "Really beautiful!"

  Cheng Zhi covered her chest with both hands, blushing and saying: "I'm not used to it - this dress is too... strange!"

  "No! Not at all strange!" Xǔ Shǎoyàn smiled, holding her hand and walking slowly to the dresser. Then, as if by magic, he produced a black box from somewhere again.

  Xu Shaoyan gently opened the black box with the Boucheron logo, and inside, he saw a diamond necklace and a pair of diamond earrings, sparkling brightly. Was this valuable diamond jewelry another one of Cinderella's dreams?

  Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little excited (is it true that all women get excited when they see diamond jewelry?), and also a little sentimental: indeed, this was a world she had never seen before, a world where money was spent like dirt, a world that didn't belong to her!

  "Is this another place you specifically went to order?" Cheng Zhiyi raised her head and asked softly, "Isn't it just a date? Why make such a big fuss? — I don't like it!"

  Yes, she likes simple life, simple love, and simple lover. Apart from that, she doesn't need anything external! The luxurious, grand, and dreamy things that Xu Shaoyuan carefully prepared, although they were once one of her dreams in her girlhood, but after experiencing the vicissitudes of time and the tribulations of love, now she doesn't like them at all!

  His wealth that knew no bounds, his extravagance in throwing money around, wasn't it a reminder to her of the vast disparity between their financial situations and social status? All of this was forcing her to confront her own circumstances and position - were she and Xu Shaoyan really suitable for each other? Was this really the life she wanted? Could she really overturn the worldview and values she had established over twenty-eight years, and enter a completely unfamiliar world to live a life of extravagance and luxury?

  "I'm promising you, just this once, okay?" Xǔ Shǎoyàn gently put the diamond necklace on her, then leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I know you don't like being so showy, I promise you, it won't happen again!"

  At least tonight, he would disregard her wishes and package her into such a stunningly beautiful, elegant and noble woman!

  "Hmm..." Cheng Zhiyi nodded slightly, then raised her head to look at Xu Shao Yan, saying seriously, "However, these things, I'll just wear them tonight - I won't keep anything!"

  She always kept in mind that she was a prosecutor and could not accept money or goods from others! Moreover, she really didn't want to be the subject of gossip, nor did she want to be a woman enslaved by wealth.

  "Alright, alright......" Xǔ Shǎoyàn gently scratched her nose tip and said helplessly, "I know my prosecutor princess won't want anything, and I won't give you anything either - but my heart, you must accept it!"

  Tong Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing and said cutely: "What I want is your loyalty, if it's your flirtatious heart, I don't want it!"

  "How dare I be unfaithful?" Xǔ Shǎo Yàn hastily said seriously, "I swear, I only have this one heart - a loyal heart that belongs to you."

  After laughing, she changed into the black high heels prepared by Xu Shao Yan. Cheng Zhi Yi carefully examined herself in the mirror again and thought she looked really beautiful! However, she looked more like a woman who had become rich overnight, with her whole body shining with jewels and an unmistakable air of vulgarity. She couldn't help but tease: "Dressing me up like this, are we really going to film a TV series?"

  "No! We're here to film a documentary." Xǔ Shǎoyàn smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, my leading lady, we're off to the next location!"

  The car stopped in front of the magnificent Carlton Hotel, the most luxurious five-star hotel in Baisu City. The decoration was grand and the facilities were perfect. For a working-class person like Cheng Ziyi, it was always a place to admire from afar. After handing the car over to the valet, Xu Shaoyan took Cheng Ziyi's hand and walked into the hotel.

  Not... wine, hotel?

  What are they doing at the hotel? Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but feel puzzled again, and quickly turned her head to ask Xu Shaoyan: "Is there anything delicious in the hotel?"

  Xu Shaoyan smiled and looked at her, saying with a spoiled tone: "You little glutton, all you know is eating!"

  "So, where are we... exactly going?" For some reason, Jing Yi's heart began to feel uneasy, always feeling that something was off - this man, wouldn't he be taking her to a hotel or something?

  "Do you believe me?" Xu Shaoyan's eyes suddenly became deep and emotional, staring at Cheng Ziyi, asking softly.

  The deep affection in his eyes seemed to have a magical power, making Cheng Zhiyi feel at ease instantly.

Unconsciously nodding his head, he said, "Hmm! I believe you."

  "That's good, just follow me!" Xu Shaoyan smiled and nodded, then tightly held Cheng Ziyue's hand, took the elevator to the top floor of the Carlton Hotel.

  "Ding" - the elevator doors opened, and he walked out of the elevator with her hand in his. Cheng Zhiyi's eyes immediately landed on the red banner directly opposite the elevator door - "Tiancheng Group 35th Anniversary Dinner".

  Cheng Zhiyi was startled, this...this is actually the Tiancheng Group's anniversary dinner! Xu Shaoyan......how could he bring her to a place like this? In this setting, how can she appear? What identity should she use to appear?

  Cheng Zhiyi subconsciously wanted to pull away and escape, unknowingly taking two steps back, wanting to take advantage of no one noticing her before quickly retreating back into the elevator. However, Xu Shaoyan instead grasped her hand even more tightly.

  Turning back, he saw that Xu Shao Yan's firm and powerful eyes seemed to have a hint of pleading. He gazed deeply into Cheng Qiyuan's eyes and said softly: "Believe me, believe me..."

  Thus, Cheng Zhiyi unknowingly followed Xu Shao Yan, step by step, towards the banquet hall...
