Chapter 8 Unforgettable Memories

  "Cloud Top Villa" is located on Cloud Top Mountain, it is the most luxurious and high-end villa area in Baishui City. This villa area has been carefully planned, with each villa spaced just right and laid out reasonably. Each villa was designed by top domestic designers, so the villas here are elegant and refined, yet absolutely unique, noble and atmospheric without being tacky - of course, the price is also one of the highest in the country, with even a single suite costing over 50 million!

  "Cloud Top Villa" is developed by Tianfu Real Estate Company under the "Tiancheng Group", so naturally, Xu Shao-yan, the successor of the "Tiancheng Group", lives in the most luxurious and beautiful one on the top of the mountain.

  In the spacious study on the second floor, only a dim floor lamp was lit. The dim light added a touch of warmth to this fifty-square-meter study, otherwise, this villa located at the top of the mountain and only inhabited by Xu Shaoyan would be too cold and quiet.

  Xu Shaoyan stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing through the transparent glass at the city below Cloud Top Mountain, where lights shone brightly like a radiant night pearl. On most nights, he would be out with Xu Chen and others, throwing themselves into this sleepless city, reveling in the mortal world, reluctant to leave. But tonight, he suddenly wanted to be alone, letting his thoughts settle down, and ponder a question - why did he always involuntarily think of that 'female' prosecutor named Cheng Zhiyi?

  Yes, when Xu Shaoyan met Cheng Zhiyi again at the Procuratorate of Rize District in the morning, he was attracted by the faint and cold temperament emanating from her body. The one wearing a procurator's uniform, with a severe and stern expression, revealed a hint of a cold female procurator, like an unsolved mystery, always triggering his thoughts.

  After leaving the procuratorate, Xu Shaoyan couldn't help but think of her, her bright and sorrowful eyes, her small face flushed with anger, her neat and white teeth, her cherry-like tender lips... Her every frown and smile, every move made his heart skip a beat!

  What's going on?! Why is he so restless all day? Why does her lovely face keep popping up in his mind, refusing to be shaken off? Why can't he stop thinking about her? Why does he always feel like they've met before?

  He gently swirled the red wine in his hand, savoring it as if unintentionally. His thoughts spread out like a fishing net, shrouding the dark night sky, then slowly reeled back in, attempting to catch one or two escaped fish of memory, to clarify the chaotic thoughts at this moment.

  However, no matter how hard he tried to rummage through his memories, he still couldn't recall whether he had ever met Xun Zhiyi before. Hmm, yes, yesterday must have been the first time they met! So, why was he so concerned about a woman he had only seen twice?

  Is it because she's pretty? Yes, Cheng Zhiyi is indeed beautiful, but what kind of woman hasn't Xu Shaoyan seen before with his notorious reputation? Those women who are even more beautiful than Cheng Zhiyi have never made him so infatuated! What on earth does this prosecutor named Cheng Zhiyi have that's extraordinary?

  Xu Shaoyan felt more and more annoyed, so he drank the red wine in his high-footed cup in one gulp. Then he walked to the sofa and lay down on it, closing his eyes. He didn't want to get tangled up in such a trivial matter anymore!

  However, closing his eyes, Cheng Zhiyi's pale and cold face appeared in his mind again.

  Never intentionally thought about it, yet thoughts still come uninvited.

  You say, how can Xu Shaoyan not be annoyed? — Perhaps, he was really "enchanted" by Cheng Qiyue! This aloof "woman", what's so special about her that she can attract him? Is this what they call love at first sight? Or, as usual, is he just temporarily infatuated with some pretty girl and will lose interest after the excitement passes?

  In the darkness, Xu Shaoyan couldn't help but smile wryly. His heart also felt at ease - yes, since he didn't know why he couldn't forget about Cheng Yidian, then why not listen to the voice deep within his heart and investigate that 'woman'? Maybe after getting her, he would soon find out whether he really liked her or was just temporarily infatuated with her beauty.

  Besides, isn't chasing after women exactly what Da Shao is interested in and good at? Over the past decade or so, as long as he had his heart set on pursuing a woman, which one didn't fall into his hands? He has never once "missed"!

  Recalling his own illustrious military exploits, Xu Shaoyan's confidence surged a hundredfold in an instant, and he was firmly convinced that the woman named Cheng Ziyuan would also be his plaything!

  The next morning, Cheng Zhiyi stood in front of the window as usual, drinking coffee.

  The air conditioning in the office is very sufficient, so the summer sunlight shines through the window glass, but it doesn't feel hot at all. Standing by the window can see the White Egret Park, there is a curved emerald lake in the park, and the marshy land around the lake often sees the light and agile white egrets.

  Every morning, Jing Yi likes to stand here and drink coffee, watching the white little elves walking leisurely on the marsh, shrinking one foot and standing with their necks raised, a carefree and contented look.

  The coffee had not been finished, and the office phone suddenly rang, disrupting Cheng Ziy's deep thought and quietness. Cheng Ziy slightly furrowed her brow, picked up the phone, and said warmly and politely: "Hello, this is the Prosecution Department."

  "Is that Little Cheng? This is the guard room. Someone's looking for you, says they're from the Flower Shop and have brought flowers for you - should I let them go up?"

  "A flower shop? Sending flowers? Cheng Ziyue was puzzled in her heart, she hadn't bought any flowers, how could a flower shop send her flowers? However, she suddenly understood - perhaps it was sent by some man who wanted to pursue her!"

  Cheng Zhiyi is a beautiful and kind girl, from junior high school onwards there have been boys pursuing her. The flowers she has received are naturally as numerous as the stars in the sky, so how could she not understand men's repetitive tricks?

  But what astonished her was that she was no longer the innocent and lovely 'girl' like a flower, but an old leftover woman who had been abandoned by her ex-boyfriend and was approaching thirty. How could someone still send her flowers?

  Ever since Lin Zhihao dumped her for Su Ruo, she became the laughing stock of everyone - what's the use of being beautiful if you still lose to that short, fat, dark and boastful deputy mayor's daughter?... She and Lin Zhihao had been together for four or five years already, both sets of parents had agreed to their relationship, what's the difference between this and a divorce? Who would still want to marry her?

  Is it right that now, Cheng Zhiyi is just a worthless and pitiful "abandoned woman" who should hide in the corner and cry alone, where can she still enjoy the pursuit of others like when she was young, with unlimited glory? So, which "blind" person sent her flowers? She really wants to know.

  "Let him come in." Cheng Zhiyi said softly, then hung up the phone and quietly waited for the mystery to be revealed.
