> Here to Heart Recap
Wen Nuan returned home after work, just as Zhu Linlu brought Wen Rou back. Wen Rou took the opportunity to play matchmaker, praising Zhu Linlu as a good Chinese boss, worthy of a lifetime commitment. Zhu Linlu was not modest at all; he simply came into the house as a guest and lingered, refusing to leave.
Seeing this, Wen Nuan planned to go upstairs to rest, but Wen Rou grabbed her sister, looking for a topic, and brought up someone asking Wen Nuan for help finding a job. Wen Nuan had to truthfully say that the person looking for a job was Guo Ruqian, who had been fired by Qianyu. Zhu Linlu was greatly surprised. " Isn't he the one who instigated the email leak?"
Wen Rou learned the whole story and also advised Wen Nuan not to bother with such a person. Wen Nuan regretfully stated that Guo Ruqian was also implicated, and he was indeed a talented person, but unfortunately, he was now blacklisted in the industry. Seeing Wen Nuan speak up for Guo Ruqian, Zhu Linlu, to please Wen Nuan, agreed to let Guo Ruqian work at Daizhong.
As the three chatted, they mentioned that the next day was Wen Rou's birthday, so they prepared to celebrate together. Thanks to Wen Nuan's help, Guo Ruqian received a call from Daizhong's HR department, telling him he could start working without an interview. Guo Ruqian and Du Xintong were so happy they danced with joy. After calming down, Du Xintong couldn't help but wonder, "Was this Wen Nuan's help?"
Zhu Linlu told Wen Rou that Guo Ruqian had already reported for duty. He seemed very honest and capable. After a period of probation, he could join the Alpha research project. As he spoke, Zhu Linlu also gave Wen Rou a birthday present. Wen Rou beamed with joy. Zhu Linlu then proudly displayed his attire. He was full of confidence that such a handsome and dashing appearance would surely attract Wen Nuan.
When Zhu Linlu left, he even took back the gift he had given Wen Rou. He wanted to wait until evening to present it to Wen Rou in front of Wen Nuan, so he could make a good impression. Zhan Nanxian, Gao Fang, and Guan Ti were working together when they suddenly learned that Guo Ruqian had gone to work at Daizhong. All three were surprised. Why would Daizhong accept the tarnished Guo Ruqian?
The perceptive Gao Fang sensed that a benefactor must be helping him from behind the scenes. Just then, Ding Xiaodai walked in, handed Zhan Nanxian a report, and told him that Wen Nuan had left work early because it was Wen Rou's birthday today. After getting off work, Wen Nuan bought a bouquet of fresh flowers. When she returned home, she found that Zhu Linlu had already decorated the house to be warm and romantic, clearly a standard birthday party.
The three happily sat at the table. Zhu Linlu and Wen Nuan each toasted Wen Rou, wishing her a happy birthday, and then together they tasted the steak Zhu Linlu had personally cooked. Just then, Wen Rou received a call from Liu Rui. Liu Rui said he had prepared a birthday gift and asked Wen Rou to meet him outdoors. To give Zhu Linlu and her sister some alone time, Wen Rou agreed to Liu Rui's request.
Wen Rou arrived at the agreed location. She was surprised to see Liu Rui had decorated the walkway into a shimmering stage. At this moment, he stood on the stage holding a guitar and sang loudly, attracting many passersby to stop and watch. When the song ended, Liu Rui handsomely and dominantly shouted "Happy Birthday!" to Wen Rou, who was standing below the stage.
Amidst the cheers of the passersby, Wen Rou slowly walked onto the stage and sang with Liu Rui. A radiant, flower-like smile bloomed on her face, and her singing echoed in the night, lingering for a long time. Wen Rou was late returning home. Wen Nuan and Zhu Linlu were eating birthday cake at home. The two were playfully messing around, smearing cream on each other. Wen Nuan accidentally fell onto Zhu Linlu.
Just as Wen Nuan was struggling to get up, she found that Zhan Nanxian had arrived outside the door at some point. He walked coldly into the room, carrying a gift, and sarcastically remarked that Wen Nuan and Zhu Linlu were really having a good time. Zhan Nanxian left in a fit of jealousy. Wen Nuan hurriedly chased after him to explain, but Zhan Nanxian wouldn't listen at all.
He sternly asked Wen Nuan why she was so joyful with Zhu Linlu, but cold as ice with him. " Was this a tactic of playing hard to get?" Wen Nuan never expected that she was such a person in Zhan Nanxian's eyes. She simply stopped explaining and turned to leave. Zhan Nanxian grabbed Wen Nuan's wrist.
He stared fixedly into Wen Nuan's eyes and finally voiced the question in his heart: "Why did Wen Nuan break up with me seven years ago?" Wen Nuan was unwilling to say more. Zhan Nanxian's tone was grave. " Seven years ago, I had personally seen Wen Nuan get into Zhu Linlu's car. And now, Wen Nuan even unreservedly introduced Guo Ruqian to work at Daizhong. Are Wen Nuan and Zhu Linlu truly so deeply devoted?"
After Zhan Nanxian finished speaking, he left without looking back. Wen Nuan was in tears, and Zhu Linlu felt very bad seeing Wen Nuan's sad appearance. Wen Rou smiled and praised Liu Rui, saying that this unique concert was truly one of a kind. Liu Rui confidently stated that although Wen Rou seemed conservative, passion burned within her bones. Then, Liu Rui enthusiastically talked about his observations of Wen Rou, his words intimate and ambiguous.
Wen Rou stood up to leave, but Liu Rui grabbed her wrist, and suddenly touched the scar left by a wrist-cutting incident. Liu Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to normal, smiling as he escorted Wen Rou home. After Zhan Nanxian left, Wen Nuan ate the cake in a daze. Zhu Linlu could see that Wen Nuan still cared for Zhan Nanxian in her heart.
He couldn't help but advise Wen Nuan not to wait for Zhan Nanxian anymore; seven years had passed, and neither Wen Nuan nor Zhan Nanxian were the people they once were. Wen Nuan didn't want to hear these words and just wanted to rest. Zhu Linlu could only leave reluctantly. He wished that one day, Wen Nuan could shed tears for him.
In fact, Wen Nuan also didn't know why things had come to this point between her and Zhan Nanxian, leaving only arguments, sadness, and misunderstanding. Liu Rui rode his cool motorcycle to take Wen Rou home. Wen Rou was a little scared and couldn't help but wrap her arms around Liu Rui's waist. Liu Rui looked back at Wen Rou and smiled warmly. Wen Rou returned home and saw her sister sleeping on the sofa.
She tiptoed over to cover her sister with a blanket, but unintentionally woke Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan sat up; she had been waiting for her sister to come home. Wen Rou was in a very good mood and enthusiastically talked about Liu Rui. When she was young, Wen Rou used to think that loving someone was about how much money they spent. Only now, she finally realized that genuine affection is especially rare.
