When he heard Xu Chen and Zhang Ziyuan's voices, Xu Shaoyan's handsome face suddenly turned black, and he turned his head away with displeasure, shooting them one by one with warning eyes, then turned back to gaze deeply at Cheng Ziyi, a charming smile appearing on the corner of his mouth as he said politely: "Sorry, my friends are here, let's chat again next time!"

  Who wants to have a good chat with you! If you are willing to stay away from me, I will be grateful for the rest of my life! —— Cheng Zhiyi looked at his back as he walked away, muttering discontentedly.

  Mo Wei smiled brightly at Cheng Zhiyi, leaning in slightly and saying in a low voice: "This handsome guy is really cute - but I think he genuinely likes you!"

  While speaking, the dishes arrived, and Cheng Zhiyi poured rice for Mo Wei while saying lightly: "True heart? What is true heart?"

  "Hmm... Sincerity is being genuine and wholehearted!" To be honest, Mo Wei was really stumped by Cheng Zhiyi's question - she didn't know if this answer was appropriate or not.

  "There were also people who were sincere and wholehearted towards me, but in the end, it was all just like clouds scattering in the wind, and we became strangers even when standing face to face." Cheng Zhiyi said with a hint of melancholy.

  "Zhiyi, those are all in the past... Not all men are like Lin Zhehao, who values profit over righteousness... You can't live your whole life in unhappy memories, can you?" Mo Wei advised kindly.

  "I won't be sad, I just take those things as a lesson, that's all!" Cheng Zhiyi put down the chopsticks in her hand and stared at Mo Wei's eyes seriously, "True heart is not only wholehearted, but also single-minded! Maybe there really will be a man who truly loves me in this world, however, it absolutely won't be Xu Shao Yan! Do you know? He's the heir of Tian Cheng Group, he's promiscuous and extravagant, only knowing how to play with flowers and show off his wealth. What kind of man is he to entrust my true heart to? — I know, he just wants to play me!"

  "Besides, I've long passed the age of believing in fairy tales, needing romance and idealizing love. After going through all that, I finally understand that love is a luxury, not a necessity! I no longer believe in love. In this world, the only people who truly, wholeheartedly, and unconditionally love me are my parents! Now, I just want to find a down-to-earth, responsible man and live an ordinary life."

  "Alright, I was wrong!" Mo Wei couldn't take Cheng Zhiyi's long lectures anymore and quickly surrendered, "I'll never mention you again, Prosecutor Cheng Zhiyi!"

  Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but smile, feeling satisfied and nodded her head in agreement before continuing to eat with her head down.

  "Wow, I'm really impressed by her glibness! Mo Wei shook her head helplessly."

  However, Mo Wei had to admit that Cheng Zhiyi was telling the truth - a wealthy young man like Xu Shaoyan, who had already mastered the "art" of flirting with women without getting hurt, how could he be sincere with Zhiyi? And now, Cheng Zhiyi was a girl who had just been defeated in the battlefield of love, wounded all over by the unstoppable arrows, and couldn't afford to be hurt even a little bit!

  On this side, soldiers come and block, seeing the move and dismantling it. On that side, however, it's a war of words, with lips and tongues clashing, winds rising and clouds gathering.

  "He called us in a hurry and said he wanted to treat us to dinner, but then he takes us to this small restaurant?!" Xǔ Chēn complained with disdain, "When you, Master Xǔ, invite guests out, shouldn't it at least be to a nightclub?"

  Ye Zhai is the top-rated restaurant in Baisuicheng, run by a French boss who rented a small villa in the downtown area to operate French cuisine. Their foie gras, escargots, onion soup and bouillabaisse are especially famous, of course, so is the price for ordinary people, with an average consumption of over 2,000 yuan per person.

  "Really thought it was an invitation to dinner?" Xǔ Shǎoyàn said with a sly smile, "It's actually an impromptu invitation for you to be an extra!"

  "Brother, is that girl in uniform the female prosecutor who has captivated you?" Guo Zhengzheng asked curiously as he looked at Cheng Ziyi.

  "Hmm!" Xu Shaoyan nodded, then lowered his voice and said to Guo Zhenzhen, "I always feel like she's very familiar, yet I just can't seem to recall if I've ever met her somewhere before. Can you help me see if I really know her?"

  Xu Shaoyan and Guo Zhengzheng were both the only children in their families, growing up together from a young age, sharing all their thoughts and knowing each other's secrets, even closer than biological brothers! That's why Xu Shaoyan asked Guo Zhengzheng for help searching his memories - if he really knew Cheng Ziyue from before, then maybe Guo Zhengzheng would know too?

  Kuo Tzu-tzu carefully sized up Cheng Ch'i-yi for a moment, then gently shook his head and said decisively: "I'm definitely sure I've never seen her appear by your side before, however..."

  "Isn't he the one-night stand you had before?" Zhang Ziyeh also leaned in to listen with relish, and before Guo Zhengzheng could finish speaking, he couldn't help but tease Xu Shaoyan.

  "If it's really like that, then I don't know!" Guo Zhenzhen said with a smile.

  "You won't even remember what the woman you've been with looks like?" Xu Chen looked at Xu Shao Yan in incredulity, exclaiming in an extremely exaggerated tone.

  "Get out of my sight!" Xǔ Shǎoyàn couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks on the table and knock Xǔ Chēn's head heavily, "She is absolutely not that kind of person!"

  "How did you know?!" Xu Chen and Zhang Ziyuan asked in unison.

  "I... I just know!" To be honest, Xu Shaoyan really didn't understand Cheng Ziyue very well and didn't know what kind of woman she was. However, he subconsciously believed that Cheng Ziyue wasn't a casual woman!

  "Brother, think carefully... maybe you really have forgotten?" Guo Zhenzhen asked with a worried expression - after all, since that accident ten years ago, Xu Shaoyan's memory had indeed deteriorated a lot!

It was as if he had suddenly changed into another person - he was no longer the clever and cunning Xu Shaoyan of before!

  "What are you talking about! I and she will absolutely not be in that kind of relationship!" Xu Shaoyan was certain, affirmative, and determined - after all, although he had a string of romantic conquests and a reputation for being a ladies' man, he was sentimental rather than promiscuous! He just happened to have had a few more girlfriends than others, and changed them "slightly" more frequently, but he had never been the type to engage in one-night stands!

  "Alright, let's get back to the point." Unable to dig up any romantic history about Xu Shao Yan, Xu Chen felt rather helpless. "You asked us to come, what's this all about?"

  Xu Shaoyan looked at Cheng Zhiyi and nodded, saying in a low voice: "Whoever can help me get that woman's phone number, I'll treat him to three meals of snails at 'Night Villa'."

  Alas, if it weren't for the past few days, that icy woman would never have deigned to look at him straight in the eye, nor been melted by his stunning good looks. Why else would he have had to swallow his pride and ask this brother for help?

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chen suddenly stood up and walked towards Cheng Zhiyi with a handsome and confident gait.
