  Sitting on the swaying bus, looking at the gray-headed trees passing by the roadside, Cheng Zhiyi's thoughts were chaotic, her heart was stuffy. Although she had just won a "victory", she couldn't feel any joy of victory, her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and the image of Lin Zihao's dejected back kept appearing in front of her eyes.

  The former Lin Zehao, sunny and handsome, healthy and optimistic, positive and upward, when he smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, making you feel at ease, as if all the happiness in the world was his, sorrow and pain had nothing to do with him.

  The fleeting years washed away the vigor of Lin Zhehao's youth, and after graduating from university, he was baptized by this materialistic society to become pragmatic and utilitarian. After marrying Su Ruo, he indeed gained a lot, just like Lin Zhehao's father, who was originally just an ordinary staff member at the Lize District Bureau of Industry and Commerce, but is now a deputy director. And as for Lin Zhehao himself, he was promoted to deputy section chief at such a young age, truly having boundless prospects!

  But as the saying goes, "like a fish drinking water, one knows whether it's cold or warm". To outsiders, Lin Zihao seems to be flying high like a phoenix, with everything going his way. But is he happy now? Is he joyful? Does what he has gained outweigh what he has lost? Only he himself knows!

  Recalling Lin Zehao's embarrassed expression and his dejected departure, Cheng Ziy suddenly felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but ask herself - earlier, was she wrong to tease him so ruthlessly and mock him? Was she wrong?

  Isn't it that we've already forgiven and no longer resent? Isn't it that past events are not to be blamed, and magnanimity is a blessing? Isn't it that we keep saying he's not worth it at all? Why today does she still have to be so petty as to misinterpret his good intentions and trample on his dignity? At least, the concern in his eyes just now was genuine, she knew.

  Recalling Lin Zehao's words from just now, Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but think of Xu Shaoyan.

  Perhaps it was the heartfelt conversation in "Peninsula Time" that worked, perhaps it was her repeated blunt refusal to let Xu Shaoyan retreat, or perhaps he had already lost his initial interest in her. This week, Xu Shaoyan has not appeared in front of Cheng Ziyi again.

  To be honest, he no longer draws attention to the entrance of Rize District Procuratorate, no longer adds unnecessary trouble for her, and no longer lets her be troubled by rumors. Cheng Zhiyi really felt a lot more at ease, sweeping away the gloom of this period, with the sun coming out after the rain, and the wind being light and gentle.

  The bus arrived at the station, and Cheng Zhiyi got off the bus and walked slowly towards home.

  This area is the old town, with houses crowded together and roads that are not very wide. On days when there are typhoons or heavy rain, the roads will even flood. Nevertheless, this humble place is home, her haven and resting place.

  She walked to the alley entrance, but unexpectedly saw that familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom. Oh my god! She had just secretly rejoiced that this annoying car and its despicable owner had finally disappeared from her life, who knew that in the next second, they would appear before her eyes again!

  Xu Shaoyan also saw Cheng Zhiyi walking towards this direction, and quickly got off the car, smiling as he walked towards her: "You're finally back, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

  "Is there something?" Cheng Zhiyi's tone was unfriendly, and her face had a cold, icy expression that showed she didn't want to bother with him.

  "It's been so many days since we last met, have you missed me?" Xu Shaoyan asked with a playful smile, pretending not to notice the coldness on Cheng Zhiyi's face.

  Good heavens! This man has been waiting here just for her, is it really just to ask if she misses him? Speaking of which, are they close? Why would she miss him? It's truly inexplicable!

  "I'm not sick, why think of you?" Cheng Zhiyi said rudely.

  As soon as she said that, Xu Shaoyan immediately began to complain with a mix of grievance and resentment: "It's really unfair! I'm the only one who's sick - lovesick! In vain, I've been thinking about you every day in France, but you don't think about me at all! Look, as soon as I got off the plane, I rushed to see you. Originally, I wanted to pick you up from work, but I was afraid that by the time I arrived at the procuratorate, you would have already finished work, so I..."

  "Was it I who summoned you?" Cheng Zhiyi impatiently interrupted his chatter.

  "No!"

  "Have I made you think of me?"

  "No!"

  "Are you and I familiar?"

  "Not familiar!"

  "Ah - no, of course we're familiar!" Xǔ Shǎoyàn hastily changed his tone and said, "We've all kissed before, I even hugged you, isn't that familiar enough? Are you saying you want to be even more familiar?"

  This... this big scoundrel! It was clearly him who "harassed" her, and now he actually dares to bring up those things with a straight face? A surge of nameless fire blazed up in Cheng Zhiyi's heart, as she glared at him viciously, gritting her teeth and asking again.

  "Do I have your permission to kiss you?"

  "No... nothing." At first, it was he who had kissed her, and Xu Shaoyan felt a little guilty in his heart.

  "Did you get my consent before hugging me?"

  "No, nothing." Was she interrogating him?

  "Great!" Jing Yiyi narrowed her eyes, a hint of triumph in her gaze - without realizing it, she had successfully interrogated him! Truly worthy of being a capable female prosecutor!

  "Alright?" Xǔ Shǎoyàn smiled brightly and said happily, "Or else, shall we try again?"

  "Xu Shaoyan!" Cheng Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, looking at his unrepentant handsome face. She tried to put on a serious expression, adopting an interrogative tone, "You've already admitted it with your own mouth earlier! You went against my will and insulted me, which is enough to constitute the crime of insulting women! Do you know that? I'm being lenient by not pursuing your criminal liability. Please don't mention those things in front of me again!"

  She really seemed to be angry, speaking coldly and with a bad tone, not lovable at all! However, coaxing women was something that Xue Shao Yang was very good at.

  Then, Xu Shaoyan quickly turned around and took out a beautiful cowhide paper bag from the car. He handed the cowhide paper bag to Cheng Zhiyi: "I bought it in France, I'll give it to you!"

  "What is it?" Cheng Zhiyi looked at the exquisite leather paper bag and asked cautiously.

  "Just take a look and you'll know!" He said, and then he stuffed the paper bag into Cheng Qiyuan's arms. Cheng Qiyuan took it over with her hands and opened the bag in confusion.

  Xu Shaoyan waited for her to open the gift, while paying attention to her expression, just waiting to see her eyes light up and smile - in the past, those women who received such "luxurious gifts", which one didn't have this kind of reaction?

  She had a Louis Vuitton Deesse handbag worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in the paper bag she was holding.

  As expected, a smile appeared on Cheng Zhiyi's face!

  Xu Shaoyan was delighted - haha, women like clothes, jewelry, perfume and handbags? It turned out that Cheng Zhiyi couldn't resist the temptation of a branded handbag either.

  Bingo, his money attack has finally succeeded!
