Cheng Zhiyi was tightly held in Xu Shaoyuan's arms, at that moment, her tears finally burst forth, the grievances and anger in her heart slowly wetting Xu Shaoyuan's chest with her tears. With her head leaning on his warm chest, she could feel his anger at this moment - his heart beating wildly, his body trembling slightly, he held her tightly, as if afraid of being snatched away...

  Out of the banquet hall, into the elevator, Cheng Zhiyi still refused to lift her head from Xu Shaoyan's arms, still letting him hold her tightly - let her savor this moment of warmth for a while, maybe from now on, she would never feel this man's breath again!

  Yes, through this matter, Cheng Zhiyi finally understood that this was not the world she should be in! Her world is a humble house, a simple dress, a smiling face, sincerity, and true heart. No matter how luxurious or wealthy, no matter how noble or powerful, all these are someone else's world, and have nothing to do with her!

  The love given by Xu Shao Yan is too luxurious, too heavy, too bumpy and too hopeless. She's just a girl from an ordinary family, she can't bear it!

  Xu Shao Yan, this deeply emotional, persistent and serious man who is almost perfect, is a high and mighty prince, the favorite of God, she will never be able to enter his world!

  She never wants to love him again!

  Because she knew herself to be a girl with strong self-esteem, she could not bear those humiliating insults; because she had long expected that her future with Xu Shaoyan would be thorny and bloody; because an unblessed love was destined to be a tragedy!

  Sitting in Xu Shaoyan's car, Cheng Zhiyi still silently shed tears and refused to speak.

  Looking at her red and swollen eyes and sad profile, Xu Shaoyan's heart was cut like a knife, filled with regret. He said sorrowfully: "Sorry... sorry... it's all my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have taken you to the dinner party... sorry..."

  Because of anxiety and distress, Xu Shaoyan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was about to cry - He knew that Cheng Ziyue was a girl who valued her reputation and self-respect, always careful and cautious, caring about moral judgments, worldly views, and other people's opinions, and tonight's events must have dealt her a severe blow!

  Afraid that she would shrink back in the face of Bai Jie's humiliation and never be willing to accompany him again! Afraid that she would let go of his hand, once again becoming disillusioned with the world and despairing of love.

  "Go to the beauty salon, I need to change my clothes." Cheng Zhiyi finally spoke up in a low voice - yes, she couldn't go home looking so disheveled and let her parents know what kind of humiliation their daughter had suffered; she couldn't use her own actions to prove true her mother's long-held doubts about Xu Shao Yan; she couldn't be a bad daughter and make the parents who loved her most worry and grieve!

  Arriving at the styling studio, she silently walked into the dressing room with her clothes in hand, and as soon as the door was locked, Cheng Zhiyi finally couldn't help but squat down by the door and cry out in anguish - who made her accept this unattainable love in the first place, who made her ignore the reality that they were not a match?

  Now I finally know what it means by "you reap what you sow". All of this is her fault! It's all her fault!

  Hearing the faint sound of sobbing coming from inside the dressing room, Xu Shaoyan couldn't help but feel anxious, his heart feeling like it was being slowly tortured, bleeding drop by drop. He frantically knocked on the door, using a tone that was half pleading and half sorrowful as he called out: "Zhiyi, what's wrong? Open the door - just open the door already - Zhiyi, I'm sorry - can you please just open the door?"

  Xu Shaoyan's anguished cry finally brought her back from her sorrow, she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, forcing herself to hold back the pain in her heart, and choked out: "It's fine..."

  Take off that expensive "golden silk dress", remove the dazzling diamond jewelry, take off the delicate makeup, put down the long hair like a waterfall, looking at the mirror with a plain face, Cheng Zhiyi finally let out a sigh of relief - this is the real Cheng Zhiyi, not Cinderella, nor Snow White, but an ordinary girl, an ordinary female prosecutor!

  "Let's go! Take me home!" The sorrow of the past was gone, and Cheng Zhiyi's mood returned to calmness, also returning to the Cheng Zhiyi before she knew Xu Shao Yan - that indifferent Cheng Zhiyi. At this time, she just wanted to go home.

  "Sorry!" Xu Shaoyan still felt apologetic, gently putting his arm around Cheng Ziyuan's shoulder to walk out the door. However, Cheng Ziyuan deliberately avoided his intimate gesture and lightly shook him off, continuing on her own way out.

  "With a thud, a huge stone was heavily pressed on Xu Shaoyan's heart - indeed, Cheng Zhiyi was escaping again! At first, when he chased her, she was like this too, always afraid to face her own heart, always subconsciously avoiding, avoiding love, avoiding him, and also avoiding herself!"

  Tonight was the first setback between him and Cheng Zhiyi, but she had already begun to retreat and escape. He knew that next time, their love would face even greater tests and more difficulties, so what should he do then?

  Is she no longer willing to hold his hand and fight side by side with him?

  "Xī Yī——" Xǔ Shǎo Yàn hastily caught up, domineeringly grasping her hand, as if a drowning person desperately clinging to a lifeline.

  "Who is that woman?" Cheng Zhiyi stopped in her tracks and finally asked the question that had been on her mind, "She said I seduced someone else's husband!"

  After all, we must face it bravely!

  Originally, Xu Shaoyan did not want to tell Cheng Ziyin that he already had a fiancée, so as not to make Cheng Ziyin feel the weight of moral guilt, thinking she was the third person who stole someone's love, and escape. He wanted to properly handle the divorce with Bai Jieyu first, and then confess to Cheng Ziyin and ask for her forgiveness.

  However, things didn't turn out as easy as he imagined, but instead became more and more troublesome. Finally, he had no choice but to take the bewildered Cheng Zhiyi onto the battlefield with him - many things required them to face together, so that they could share honor and shame, and go through thick and thin together.

  Moreover, he wants to change this girl who is strong on the outside but weak inside, let her learn to face harm, face rumors, face difficulties, and face herself, let her willingly accompany him to fight for love - He has confidence, he must change her fear of being hurt, must let her honestly and bravely face her own emotions!

  "She... is my fiancée." Xu Shaoyan gazed deeply into Cheng Zhiyi's eyes, unreservedly and honestly telling her, "However, I never loved her - the one I love, is only you!"
