> Here to Heart Recap
Yi Xin came to the hospital to visit her father, instructing him to get good treatment and not worry about anything else. Her father was full of guilt, regretting that he had impulsively gone to confront Wen Nuan. Yi Xin did not blame her father, but just told him not to interfere anymore, otherwise Zhan Nanxian would be unhappy. For his daughter's sake, Yi Xin's father naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Chi Bika came to Zhan Nanxian, asking if a new round of CEO assistant selection should be launched since Wen Nuan had already resigned. Zhan Nanxian looked up and answered firmly, "No need." Chi Bika understood and turned to leave. Guan Ti asked Xiaodai to meet on the company rooftop. Xiaodai was overjoyed, thinking she was about to receive a confession from Guan Ti.
To her surprise, Guan Ti enthusiastically demonstrated a robot girlfriend software, and this robot was created based on Ding Xiaodai as the prototype, named "Xiaodai No. 1." Guan Ti was full of confidence about this, saying that although it was just a model, physical robots would definitely be produced in the future. Regardless, he sincerely thanked Xiaodai. Ding Xiaodai's eyes welled up with tears.
She suddenly realized that Guan Ti's meticulous care and warm greetings were all for building a database for the robot, and now that the research was over, Guan Ti had "withdrawn" all his affection. Xiaodai was greatly heartbroken, found an excuse to leave the rooftop, feeling incredibly lost. That night, Wen Nuan dreamt of her past with Zhan Nanxian. In her dream, she was in tears, muttering sad things.
Wen Rou gently pushed open the door and found her sister having a nightmare. She felt very distressed but helpless. Wen Rou blamed herself, believing she had brought pain to Wen Nuan. Realizing that the one who tied the bell must untie it, Wen Rou arranged to meet Zhan Nanxian. She frankly told Zhan Nanxian that when Wen Nuan proposed to break up back then, it wasn't because she fell for Zhu Linlu, but for other reasons.
It turned out that seven years ago, Wen Rou also uncontrollably fell in love with her sister's boyfriend, Zhan Nanxian. She was deeply tormented by her feelings and couldn't help but get completely drunk in broad daylight. Under the influence of alcohol, she boldly confessed her feelings to Zhan Nanxian. Unfortunately, Wen Nuan happened to witness this scene, and a rift formed between the two sisters.
Wen Nuan was in a dilemma, so she simply proposed to break up and left. After listening to Wen Rou's narration, Zhan Nanxian was very calm. He had also had such suspicions, but what Zhan Nanxian didn't understand was why Wen Nuan wouldn't even listen to a single explanation and just left for seven years. Wen Rou quickly defended her sister, saying that Wen Nuan had not been happy these past seven years.
Now, Wen Rou only hoped that Zhan Nanxian would not reopen Wen Nuan's wounds, let alone bring up the matter of Wen Nuan's father's death. Zhan Nanxian returned home with mixed feelings, determined that this time he would absolutely not let Wen Nuan escape again. Yi Xin called Zhan Nanxian to invite him to her home. She even specially prepared delicious dishes herself.
At the dinner table, Yi Xin expressed her gratitude for Zhan Nanxian's various help and also made a request: her father was a dying man, and his only wish was to see her happy, so Yi Xin hoped Zhan Nanxian could fulfill her father's wish. This time, Zhan Nanxian decisively refused, stating that for him, Wen Nuan had always been in his heart. Yi Xin burst into tears. Even after so many years, she still couldn't win Zhan Nanxian's heart.
It seemed that what was fake would always be fake, and her dream should wake up. The next day, Yi Xin was spaced out at home, lamenting how ridiculous self-deception was. Just then, her assistant brought good news: netizens were now overwhelmingly supporting Yi Xin, and even Hollywood had extended an olive branch to her. However, Yi Xin was in no mood to deal with these matters.
She couldn't help but ask her assistant, "Who posted those online about me, Zhan Nanxian, and Wen Nuan?" The assistant stammered and finally told the truth: she had analyzed and guessed that Yi Xin and Wen Nuan had a close relationship, then told the agency, which then published the posts. Yi Xin was furious, saying that the company's actions would only make Zhan Nanxian feel more sympathy for Wen Nuan, and she and Zhan Nanxian would only drift further apart.
The assistant, however, continued to argue, "If we didn't use Wen Nuan to divert public attention and put Yi Xin in a vulnerable position, how could Yi Xin quickly clear her name?" Now, Yi Xin was unable to turn the tide and could only warn her assistant not to interfere in her life. Just then, Zhan Nanxian's mother called Yi Xin, angrily asking how Wen Nuan could be back with Zhan Nanxian. Yi Xin deliberately put on a pitiful act.
Zhan Nanxian's mother favored Yi Xin and was prejudiced against Wen Nuan. As a result, she decided to return to China soon to check on her son's relationship status. That evening, Yi Xin came to find Wen Nuan, sighing meaningfully that Wen Nuan had always been able to get everything effortlessly, while she herself could only stand by and watch. Therefore, she once dreamed so much of becoming someone like Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan stared into Yi Xin's eyes, asking, "Is it for this reason that you painstakingly tried to snatch Zhan Nanxian?" Yi Xin's emotions gradually intensified. " Wen Nuan was the one who voluntarily gave up Zhan Nanxian back then. Even if I was Wen Nuan's good friend, can't I fight for the love I want?" Wen Nuan no longer tolerated it.
She brought up the events of seven years ago, saying that when she had just broken up with Zhan Nanxian and was still hesitating, Yi Xin immediately entangled herself with Zhan Nanxian and even went to him pretending to be wronged, which made Wen Nuan very sad. Yi Xin refused to be outdone. She lied, claiming that she was about to marry Zhan Nanxian and hoped Wen Nuan would withdraw. This time, Yi Xin would not let go easily.
She wanted to see who between her and Wen Nuan could last until the end. Gao Fang and Guan Ti went to find Professor Wang, who had resigned from Alpha. Unexpectedly, they were seen by people sent by Zhu Linlu. Zhu Linlu secretly gloated, believing Zhan Nanxian had finally exposed his true colors. On the other side, after Gao Fang and Guan Ti came out of Zhan Nanxian's office, they noticed Xiaodai looked very upset.
Guan Ti knew the reason and couldn't help but apologize to Xiaodai. Xiaodai looked indifferent and refused to acknowledge Guan Ti. She couldn't get over the fact that Guan Ti had only approached her to make a robot. Zhu Linlu ordered people to investigate records of secret dealings between Professor Wang and Qianyu, and also brought in several lawyers. He was preparing to prolong the battle and confront Zhan Nanxian.
Wen Rou noticed that Zhu Linlu was still investigating Professor Wang's matter, and she was well aware of the seriousness of the situation. Zhu Linlu no longer concealed anything, frankly stating that before he acquired Alpha, Qianyu indeed had dealings with Professor Wang. However, whether they secretly colluded in transactions was still unknown. Zhu Linlu could only guarantee that he would absolutely not wrongly accuse Zhan Nanxian because of this matter.
Wen Rou was only worried that if Zhan Nanxian and Zhu Linlu went to court, Wen Nuan would likely be in a very difficult position and consequently break down. But Zhu Linlu stuck to his guns and refused to back down. Wen Rou was going on a business trip to Hong Kong tomorrow, but the originally assigned employee suddenly fell ill, so Liu Rui volunteered to accompany Wen Rou on the trip.
Wen Rou accepted his request and would use this business trip as an assessment for Liu Rui's probation. Wen Nuan noticed Ding Xiaodai was dejected, so she comforted Xiaodai not to overthink things and told her to go home and rest early. That evening, Wen Nuan returned home from work and saw her sister packing for her business trip. She stepped forward to help thoughtfully and also mentioned her impending resignation.
Wen Rou took her sister's hand and frankly told her that she had already talked to Zhan Nanxian and now only hoped Wen Nuan could be happy. Wen Nuan smiled faintly, saying that Zhan Nanxian already had another important person in his heart, not her.
