In Between Recap
Episode 1 Recap
He Zhinan was almost late for work, so she hurried to get ready and dashed towards the company. Luckily, she made it just in time and wasn’t late. Sitting at her workstation, He Zhinan took a bite of a snack, and overheard her colleagues discussing the arrival of the new manager, Qu Yipeng. They were all talking about how handsome and gentle Qu Yipeng was, the ideal type for many girls. He Zhinan questioned how handsome he could really be.
One of the girls said that even J-sister liked him. Just as they were talking, J-sister arrived and told everyone to stop chatting and get to work. While He Zhinan was debating whether blueberry or lemon-flavored candy was tastier, Qu Yipeng arrived, and he told He Zhinan that the blueberry flavor was better. He Zhinan asked him if he was here for the lecture, offering to find him a seat.
Before she could finish, J-sister came over and pulled him away. He Zhinan’s good friend was having issues with her boyfriend after seven years of dating, just as they were approaching marriage. The boyfriend, trying to save money, replaced the real flowers they had planned with fake ones and even suggested that his girlfriend didn’t really want to marry him. This reminded He Zhinan of her own long-distance relationship with Gao Peng, her boyfriend of seven years.
Her friend, Sun Hanhan, told her that maybe long-distance relationships were better in some ways. He Zhinan replied that she was holding on to the beautiful memories to fight against time. While they were chatting, He Zhinan said she was going to grab something to eat. As she walked over, she spotted Qu Yipeng. He Zhinan could only gaze at him from a distance, too shy to approach.
Sun Hanhan asked her why she didn’t say hello, and He Zhinan replied that she was socially anxious and not very familiar with him. Sun Hanhan then mentioned that she had gotten a membership at a high-end gym, to which He Zhinan commented that the gym was quite expensive. Sun Hanhan explained that she joined in hopes of meeting high-quality men.
She went to the gym and was about to use the treadmill, but didn’t know how to turn it on. Just then, a man came over and helped her start it. After her workout, Sun Hanhan waited at the door, intending to talk to the man, but he just politely replied and left. Later, while eating, He Zhinan ran into Qu Yipeng again. Since there were no free tables, they had to share one.
When it was time to pay, He Zhinan wanted to ask the waiter to split the bill, but Qu Yipeng said that would be too much trouble and suggested she just send him her share later. He added that he didn’t mind treating her to the meal. As a result, they exchanged WeChat contacts. He Zhinan asked Sun Hanhan how she should send the money in a way that was polite yet cute.
After some thought, He Zhinan just sent a simple “Thank you,” and Qu Yipeng replied with an emoji. At home, Qu Yipeng was waiting for his girlfriend, Han Su, to come back, but he fell asleep while waiting. When Han Su returned, he got up and reheated the food for her. Han Su told Qu Yipeng to quickly finish writing his article because it was certain to get noticed.
Qu Yipeng complained that it was too late, but Han Su insisted that she would stay up with him. However, after taking a shower, Han Su found that Qu Yipeng had already fallen asleep. She ended up staying up all night to finish writing the article for him. The next day, Qu Yipeng suggested she take the day off, but Han Su refused, saying her meeting was too important to miss. Feeling helpless, Qu Yipeng left.
Xu Ying still hadn’t married her husband and had become single again. He Zhinan and her friends gathered for drinks, and Xu Ying, after getting drunk, mentioned that Gao Peng’s family was becoming wealthier. She said she should have agreed to marry him back then. He Zhinan asked what she meant, but her friends brushed it off, saying it was nothing.
After sending Xu Ying home, He Zhinan overheard a group of girls talking about how Gao Peng used to pursue Xu Ying, but she didn’t like him. They said that Gao Peng had invited them all to Kangding, but none of them had agreed to go, except for He Zhinan. Now that Gao Peng’s family was wealthy, they regretted not going. Hearing this, He Zhinan left in tears.
He Zhinan’s company was hosting an event, and Qu Yipeng had forgotten to RSVP. He asked He Zhinan what to do since the event was already full. She reassured him, saying that it was okay and he could just find her when he arrived the next day. Qu Yipeng thanked her warmly.
Episode 2 Recap
Early in the morning, Han Su went to see her supervisor, Lawyer Xu, and told her that she wanted to compete for the opportunity to go to Hong Kong. Lawyer Xu informed her that a candidate had already been chosen and suggested that she gain more experience here for now. Han Su, however, didn’t want to stay and expressed her desire for a promotion, insisting on going to Hong Kong.
Lawyer Xu brought up the issue of the language barrier, but Han Su immediately responded by speaking in Cantonese, explaining that she had been learning it for over a year. Seeing that Han Su was well-prepared, Lawyer Xu told her to submit the application materials. Lawyer Xu then asked her how she would manage being away for three years, to which Han Su confidently replied that Qu Yipeng would support her. With that, she happily left the office.
When Qu Yipeng arrived at He Zhinan’s company and was about to speak to her, J-sister came and pulled him away again. A nearby colleague commented that boys from small towns like him are drawn to successful women like J-sister, who can help their careers, and they don’t even have to take responsibility. He Zhinan knew she couldn’t compete, so she quietly lowered her head. Soon after, she received a message from Qu Yipeng thanking her.
He Zhinan replied that it was no big deal, no need to thank her. Sun Hanhan’s colleague, Mo Nika, had met an executive thanks to her, and now the two were about to get married. Mo Nika came to the office and handed out wedding candies to everyone. Xin-jie and Sun Hanhan chatted in the break room, joking that she had quickly turned a client into a husband. After finishing their conversation, both women came out beaming and congratulated Mo Nika.
Mo Nika said she had to thank Sun Hanhan because without her, she wouldn’t have met President Sun. After hearing that, Sun Hanhan and Xin-jie exchanged a look, clearly reluctant. Then, Qu Yipeng texted He Zhinan again, asking her to help him out. He said that if she didn’t accept his invitation, J-sister would keep pestering him. He Zhinan told him to set the time and place, and that she would reluctantly agree.
The two met at the restaurant, and Qu Yipeng said he wasn’t sure about her tastes, so he had chosen a Western restaurant. He Zhinan replied that since she was a local, she could eat anything. Qu Yipeng then asked if she lived with her parents. He Zhinan replied that she lived alone and that her parents had already bought a house for her.
Qu Yipeng mentioned that he came from the mountains and still had to rent a place here. After finishing their meal, Qu Yipeng offered to take He Zhinan home. It turned out they lived in the same neighborhood, right across from each other. Qu Yipeng had known this for a while, but he hadn’t told He Zhinan. Back home, He Zhinan called Sun Hanhan and mentioned that Qu Yipeng’s family was from Liuzhou, and how difficult his situation was.
Sun Hanhan called him a "phoenix man. " He Zhinan asked her not to label people so easily, saying that she admired how genuine Qu Yipeng was for sharing his background, and thought he was very down-to-earth. Just as she said this, she received a text from Qu Yipeng inviting her out for tiramisu. He Zhinan’s heart raced.
She thought back to the sweet times she had with Gao Peng and tearfully asked herself if she could ever return to those days. In the end, she decided to go out for tiramisu with Qu Yipeng. Meanwhile, Han Su’s colleague, Zhao Shan, was eager to go to Hong Kong and asked Han Su if she could withdraw her application.
Han Su explained that it wasn’t just her applying, and if Zhao Shan was strong enough, she could definitely get the spot. She refused to withdraw, and Zhao Shan angrily insulted her, saying she didn’t appreciate kindness. When Han Su got home, she found Qu Yipeng eating snail noodles. She asked him how the new energy project she had introduced to him was going. Qu Yipeng responded that nothing had really materialized yet.
Han Su then told him to open the window because the smell of the fermented bamboo shoots wasn’t going away. This led to an argument. Qu Yipeng felt that Han Su was looking down on him, and Han Su said she couldn’t stand seeing someone who hadn’t finished his work yet could still sleep soundly. While Han Su was diligently working, Qu Yipeng was playing games on the side, showing no ambition.
He knew his background wasn’t great, but instead of trying to improve himself, he had set his sights on He Zhinan, who already owned property locally. His phone reminded him that tomorrow was his fourth anniversary with Han Su, but he changed it to an outing for tiramisu.
Episode 3 Recap
While Han Su and Qu Yipeng were arguing, Han Su's mother suddenly video-called her, asking how to use the Tmall Genie that Qu Yipeng had bought for her. Han Su told her to check the manual, but her mother said she couldn’t understand it. Han Su, feeling frustrated, was on the verge of a breakdown. Qu Yipeng quickly took the phone and explained to Han Su’s mother how to use it.
When Han Su came back from the balcony, she saw that Qu Yipeng was sealing the jar of fermented bamboo shoots with plastic wrap. Han Su apologized to him, and Qu Yipeng admitted that he was also at fault. Han Su then informed him that she would be going on a business trip to Shanghai for three days.
Qu Yipeng carried the jar of fermented bamboo shoots out into the hallway and placed it in the fire extinguisher cabinet, while also changing the four-year anniversary reminder on his phone to a tiramisu date. Sun Hanhan had successfully completed her business trip, and everything had gone very well. She called her supervisor, Xin-jie, to ask if she could return the next day instead of taking a red-eye flight, as she was feeling exhausted.
Xin-jie agreed and told her to rest for the day. Sun Hanhan then messaged Mr. Zhou, who had helped her at the airport, asking if he had time for dinner so she could thank him for his help. Mr. Zhou agreed, and they arranged to have dinner together. Sun Hanhan even went shopping to buy a new outfit for the occasion.
Meanwhile, Han Su told Ceng Cheng about her application to go to Hong Kong, and Ceng Cheng asked if she had informed Qu Yipeng yet. Han Su replied that the application hadn’t been approved yet, and she’d tell him when the time came. Ceng Cheng then asked if she was going to Hong Kong to get back at someone. Han Su stayed silent.
Ceng Cheng inquired about her relationship with Qu Yipeng, and Han Su explained that in the past, she had admired him greatly, and a glance or smile from him used to thrill her. But now, she no longer felt that way. Ceng Cheng pointed out that back then, Han Su was just a graduate student, but she had grown rapidly, while Qu Yipeng was still stuck in place.
Ceng Cheng believed that Han Su’s feelings for Qu Yipeng had shifted from admiration to viewing him as an equal and now to scrutinizing him. Han Su acknowledged that Qu Yipeng was kind to her. After thinking it over, Han Su decided to apply for leave from work and go home, remembering that today was their four-year anniversary. Just as Qu Yipeng was about to ask He Zhinan to have tiramisu with him, Han Su unexpectedly returned home.
Han Su said that since it was their four-year anniversary, she had prepared a computer for him as a gift. Qu Yipeng admitted that he hadn’t prepared anything for her, but Han Su told him that all she wanted was for him to cook her a meal. However, instead of cooking, Qu Yipeng took her to the mall to buy a pair of shoes she had been eyeing for a long time.
Just as they were about to pay, Qu Yipeng received a call from his family, informing him that his father had been injured. Upon hearing this, Han Su realized that Qu Yipeng needed money, so she decided not to buy the shoes. When Qu Yipeng asked why she no longer wanted them, Han Su said she didn’t like them, though in reality, she had really wanted them.
Meanwhile, Sun Hanhan dressed up in a new dress and went to meet Lawyer Zhou. When Lawyer Zhou saw her, his eyes lit up. The two of them entered the dining room, but as soon as they did, Lawyer Zhou was invited to sit at another table, while Sun Hanhan sat at a different one. Throughout the meal, she kept watching Lawyer Zhou, while people kept asking for her WeChat.
He Zhinan, watching a video and eating cherries at the same time, accidentally swallowed a cherry pit. This reminded her of her first kiss with Gao Peng, when Gao Peng had also accidentally swallowed a cherry pit. She called him to ask if he remembered, but Gao Peng didn’t recall it at all and seemed to have forgotten their time together. He Zhinan was on the verge of tears and asked Gao Peng if he missed her.
Gao Peng said he did, but He Zhinan accused him of lying. She felt that Gao Peng no longer loved her, so she sent him an email, breaking up with him. In response, Gao Peng sent her numerous luxury gifts. Sun Hanhan was envious, but He Zhinan angrily threw everything out. Sun Hanhan quickly gathered the items and brought them back in, but He Zhinan planned to sell them.
When she saw a bracelet, she broke down crying because it was something Gao Peng had saved up for by skipping meals for half a semester to buy for her. He Zhinan told Sun Hanhan that, over time, Gao Peng’s gifts had become more and more expensive, but only that bracelet carried his love.
As for missing the tiramisu date with He Zhinan, Qu Yipeng lied to her, claiming that his father had been hospitalized, which was why he couldn’t make it.
Episode 4 Recap
While Sun Hanhan and He Zhinan were having a meal together, Sun Hanhan experienced stomach pain. He Zhinan suggested that since it's been a few days, she should get an appointment to see a doctor, but there were no available slots at the city hospital. She planned to book an appointment at a private hospital instead, but Sun Hanhan discouraged her, worrying that it might be too expensive and not covered by insurance.
Just as they were talking, Xin-jie called, asking Sun Hanhan to come over for something urgent. Despite her stomach pain, Sun Hanhan rushed to the office. After the work was done, Ceng Cheng brought them some food. While shaking hands with Sun Hanhan, she asked why her hands were so cold, and handed her a cup of hot milk tea. Sun Hanhan was overjoyed, as Ceng Cheng was someone she admired.
While running at the gym, Sun Hanhan suddenly fainted due to her stomach pain. When she regained consciousness, she found out that Mr. Zhou had already taken her to the hospital. The doctor informed her that she had appendicitis and needed surgery. Sun Hanhan insisted on waiting for her mother to arrive because she was scared. The doctor reassured her that it was a minor surgery, but her condition was serious and she couldn’t wait for her mother.
Lawyer Zhou went to take a call, but when he returned, the doctor told him that Sun Hanhan was missing. He quickly went out to search for her and found her hiding in a small room. Crying, Sun Hanhan called He Zhinan, telling her she was scared about the surgery and asked her to come keep her company. Lawyer Zhou overheard and reassured her that the surgeon was highly skilled, and he would also stay with her.
With Lawyer Zhou’s encouragement and support, Sun Hanhan successfully underwent surgery. He Zhinan called her, saying she was busy but would come as soon as she was free to keep her company. Just a moment before, Sun Hanhan had been pleading for He Zhinan to come quickly for comfort, but when she saw Lawyer Zhou enter the room, she told He Zhinan she could come the next day instead.
Lawyer Zhou raised the bed for her, and Sun Hanhan asked how much the medical bills were. Lawyer Zhou told her not to worry about it and to focus on recovery. Sun Hanhan insisted that since he had already saved her life, she couldn’t let him spend more money, and if he insisted, she would discharge herself from the hospital immediately. Seeing how firm she was, Lawyer Zhou relented and said they would discuss it when she felt better.
When He Zhinan arrived at the office, she was about to gossip with Keke. However, before they could say much, J-jie called Keke over and scolded her. When Keke returned, He Zhinan asked if she had angered J-jie. Keke said she had only made a few comments about Qu Yipeng, but J-jie had a thing for him, even though he was already spoken for.
Keke then mentioned that a few days ago, she had seen Qu Yipeng at the mall with a beautiful girl, and the two looked very close. Upon hearing this, He Zhinan became both angry and upset. Qu Yipeng was about to send a message to He Zhinan, but he noticed that he had already been blocked. He then remembered how Han Su wanted those high heels, but when he checked his bank balance, he felt conflicted.
Qu Yipeng went to the company’s finance department to ask for an advance of over two thousand yuan from his insurance. The finance officer told him to wait until next month, as everything for this month had already been processed. Qu Yipeng then used the excuse of a family illness to get the advance approved. Meanwhile, Han Su was hired by the company in Hong Kong.
She immediately went to the mall and bought the high heels she had been eyeing last time. When she returned to the office, her colleagues complimented her, saying she looked like she had a powerful aura. When Han Su got home, she hid the shoes, afraid that Qu Yipeng would see them. She told him that they should go out for a fancy dinner that night, her treat. However, Qu Yipeng suggested they save money and eat at home.
Han Su said she had something important to discuss. Qu Yipeng joked, asking if it was something serious enough that it required a dinner invitation—had she been unfaithful? Han Su countered, saying it was Qu Yipeng who had been unfaithful. When she entered the bedroom, she saw that Qu Yipeng had also bought her the same pair of high heels. Qu Yipeng told her that he always fulfilled his promises.
When he asked what she wanted to talk about, Han Su was so touched by his gesture that she said nothing and instead went to prepare a meal for him. Later, after some business-related drinking, Sun Hanhan was feeling unwell. Seeing her discomfort, Ceng Cheng quickly made her a cup of hot ginseng tea.
Lawyer Zhou had planned to pick up Sun Hanhan, but she told him she was done and asked him to come get her, though she hadn’t received a reply. Ceng Cheng remarked that her husband had come to pick her up and suggested Sun Hanhan come along with her. To Sun Hanhan’s surprise, her "husband" turned out to be Lawyer Zhou. Furious, she immediately discharged herself from the hospital.
Ceng Cheng later asked Han Su if she had told Qu Yipeng about her move to Hong Kong. Han Su replied that she didn’t know how to bring it up.
Episode 5 Recap
Han Su bought a lot of groceries and returned home to cook. When Qu Yipeng came back, he saw that Han Su had prepared a huge meal. He asked her what the occasion was for making so many dishes, and Han Su told him to wash his hands and sit down to try her cooking. Qu Yipeng went to the bedroom and saw two large suitcases packed, which immediately put him in a bad mood.
However, he still sat down as if nothing was wrong. Han Su then told him that she might be going to Hong Kong. She explained that Sister Shan was originally supposed to go, but since she had something come up, the company decided to send her instead. Qu Yipeng asked how the salary was, and Han Su replied that it would double. She then asked if he supported her decision to go.
Qu Yipeng said that doubling the salary was a great opportunity, so why wouldn’t he support her? Han Su asked what he would do if she left, and Qu Yipeng said it wouldn’t be a problem for him. However, he mentioned that it might be difficult to handle the rent alone since they had signed a one-year lease, and breaking it now would probably incur extra costs. Upon hearing this, Han Su felt deeply disappointed.
It wasn’t their relationship he was concerned about—it was the rent. Han Su told him that she could visit frequently, but Qu Yipeng said it wouldn’t matter; they could just stay in touch via WeChat. Hearing this, Han Su’s eyes filled with tears. After dinner, Han Su continued packing the rest of her things, and Qu Yipeng suggested leaving the winter clothes in the closet. Han Su replied that it was fine, and she would pack them as well.
Qu Yipeng asked if she was packing now because she intended to leave for good later. They both fell silent. Qu Yipeng sat in front of his computer, staring at the screen. Han Su took out the pair of shoes that Qu Yipeng had bought for her. He asked why she wasn’t taking the shoes with her. Han Su explained that she had already bought a pair.
When Qu Yipeng asked when she had done so, Han Su said she had gone shopping during her lunch break a few days ago and, seeing the shoes, realized she still liked them, so she bought them. Han Su added that the pair he bought was new and unworn, and she suggested he return them, mentioning that she had called the store and confirmed that they could be returned.
She asked if he still had the receipt, and Qu Yipeng said he did. Han Su nodded and then left. The next day, after seeing Han Su off, Qu Yipeng sent a WeChat message to He Zhinan, asking where she was, only to find that he was still blocked. Taking the initiative, he went to He Zhinan’s building and saw her getting picked up by a driver.
This confirmed his suspicion that He Zhinan was a rich girl, although he didn’t know that it was actually her colleague offering her a ride. Qu Yipeng followed He Zhinan to the supermarket and deliberately created a “chance encounter. ” When He Zhinan saw him, she was angry and walked away. She said that he had a girlfriend and still came to find her. Qu Yipeng then told her that they had broken up.
He invited He Zhinan to go eat tiramisu with him, and she asked why they had broken up. Qu Yipeng said it was because he had fallen for someone else—he had developed feelings for her. He Zhinan asked why he liked her, noting that his ex-girlfriend was rumored to be very beautiful. Qu Yipeng admitted that she was, but said he found He Zhinan to be “cute.
” As soon as she heard this, He Zhinan got angry and walked off, knowing that “cute” wasn’t the same as love. Unsure of how he had upset her again, Qu Yipeng hurried after her to explain, but He Zhinan wouldn’t listen and kept walking ahead. Qu Yipeng ran up, grabbed her, and kissed her on the cheek. This made He Zhinan stop being angry, and the two of them started kissing in the middle of the street.
When Qu Yipeng dropped her off at her building, He Zhinan asked if he wanted to come up for tea. Qu Yipeng said things were moving too fast and that he wanted to savor the moment. Because of this gesture, Qu Yipeng gained even more points in He Zhinan’s heart. Later, He Zhinan attended Sun Hanhan’s scarf exhibition and said she wanted to take pictures to send to “her Qu Yipeng.
” Sun Hanhan teased her, asking since when he became “hers,” to which He Zhinan replied that it was only a matter of time. While they were talking, Sun Hanhan received a text from Zhou Bin asking to meet, and he had also sent her a scarf to her office. Sun Hanhan went to return the scarf to Zhou Bin, telling him not to contact her anymore.
Zhou Bin then told her that he had already divorced Ceng Cheng, even showing her the divorce certificate. Sun Hanhan forgave him, and the two went to have dinner together. Meanwhile, Han Su, now in Hong Kong, reconnected with her university classmate, Alex. Alex mentioned that his friend Gao Peng had recently broken up and wanted to introduce him to Han Su. Back at home, Qu Yipeng ran into the cleaning lady, who asked about his pretty girlfriend. Worried that the truth might come out, Qu Yipeng ended up filing a complaint against her.
Episode 6 Recap
Han Su arrived in Hong Kong and reported to Lawyer Hu, speaking in her less-than-fluent Cantonese. Lawyer Hu asked her where she had learned Cantonese, and Han Su said she learned it by watching TV shows and listening to music. Lawyer Hu then told her that she also spoke Mandarin, making Han Su awkwardly admit that her Cantonese wasn't very good.
Lawyer Hu reassured her, saying it was fine and that she too struggled when she first learned Mandarin, but with more practice, it would improve. Lawyer Hu explained that she had originally planned to have Han Su familiarize herself with the work alongside a colleague, but the colleague had gone on a business trip to Shanghai.
She then told Han Su that she would have to take over a case right away, to which Han Su confidently replied that she could handle it. Han Su reported to her colleagues, who showed her to her workstation, and she greeted everyone. Meanwhile, the cleaning lady who had been reported by Qu Yipeng lost her job. Qu Yipeng saw her carrying her belongings as she prepared to leave. Feeling guilty, he gave her some of his old clothes.
The cleaning lady, unaware that it was Qu Yipeng who had reported her, complained that she didn’t know who the scoundrel was that had cost her the job. Qu Yipeng said nothing and simply told her to accept the clothes. The landlord then brought prospective tenants to view Qu Yipeng’s apartment. The landlord remarked, “It’s just a breakup, why return the apartment? Are you afraid of being reminded of her? ” Qu Yipeng remained silent.
Just as he was about to see the landlord and the tenants out, he spotted He Zhinan. He Zhinan was on her way out to throw away the trash, which startled Qu Yipeng, and he quickly shut the door. The landlord thought his behavior was odd, and Qu Yipeng texted him, claiming he suddenly needed to use the restroom. Peeking through the door's peephole, he watched as He Zhinan finished throwing out the trash and headed back home.
She caught a whiff of a foul smell as she walked past his door, and as she got closer, the smell intensified. It turned out to be the stench of pickled bamboo shoots that Qu Yipeng had left in the hallway. Wrinkling her nose in disgust, He Zhinan hurried back into her apartment, leaving Qu Yipeng feeling even more insecure. Later, after working overtime, Han Su was about to leave the office when she realized the main door was locked.
She called out, asking if anyone was around. Hearing her, Uncle Zhong, the security guard, came out and told her that the door automatically locks at midnight, suggesting that she use the side entrance. Han Su then asked Uncle Zhong if there were any good places nearby to grab a late-night snack, and Uncle Zhong gave her a few recommendations.
Meanwhile, He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng went on another date, and as he walked her home, he wrapped his arm around her waist and mentioned that he was planning to move. Surprised, He Zhinan asked where he was moving to. Qu Yipeng told her he was planning to move to the neighborhood next to hers so that he could come over and cook for her.
Shocked, He Zhinan asked if he really knew how to cook, to which Qu Yipeng replied that he had many skills she didn’t know about yet. He Zhinan then invited him to her place to try the milk tea she had recently learned to make, and as soon as they got home, they couldn’t resist kissing each other. In a hurry, He Zhinan rushed to the bedside and turned over a photo of her and Gao Peng.
After their passionate moment, Qu Yipeng made instant noodles for He Zhinan. While they ate, Qu Yipeng opened up about being a kid from the countryside, trying to gain her sympathy by playing the “pity card” because he was afraid she would look down on him if she noticed the smell on him. He Zhinan assured him that she had never thought less of him and that she actually found him impressive.
Touched by her words, Qu Yipeng told her that meeting her was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him. He Zhinan agreed, saying she felt the same way. The next day, He Zhinan happily went to work. While at work, she received a video call from Sun Hanhan. Sun Hanhan told her that she and Zhou Bin had gone to Sanya for a trip.
She mentioned that she had casually said she wanted to see the ocean, and Zhou Bin arranged everything. She didn’t even pack anything—all her things were bought there. After chatting for a bit, He Zhinan told her that she had to get back to work. After work, He Zhinan was in her neighborhood feeding the cats when she heard a parrot behind her calling out “Baby. ” She turned around and saw Gao Peng.
He told her that he had run away from home and asked if they could avoid breaking up. He Zhinan said no, but Gao Peng refused to leave her house. Meanwhile, Qu Yipeng texted He Zhinan, asking what she wanted to eat that night. She replied that she had gone back to her parents’ house. However, when Qu Yipeng got home, he heard a man singing in He Zhinan’s apartment. He texted her, asking if she had come back home, but she continued to insist that she hadn’t.
Episode 7 Recap
While Zhou Bin and Sun Hanhan were traveling together, Zhou Bin went to answer a call. Sun Hanhan looked at Zeng Cheng's Moments and saw no information about divorce except for work-related posts. Sun Hanhan asked Zhou Bin who he was calling. Zhou Bin told her it was Zeng Cheng. He also said he had to go back tomorrow. Sun Hanhan asked him why, didn't they agree to stay for one more day? Zhou Bin said Zeng Cheng needed him.
Sun Hanhan became upset. She asked Zhou Bin why he hadn't announced the news of his divorce yet. Zhou Bin said Zeng Cheng was a very sensitive and fragile person. She had suffered from mania when she was in school, and he didn't want to stimulate her at this time. Sun Hanhan asked him what she was to him. Zhou Bin said after all, he and Zeng Cheng had a relationship for over ten years.
If something happened to her because of him, he would feel guilty. He said he felt differently about Sun Hanhan; towards her it was love, towards Zeng Cheng it was responsibility. In the end, Sun Hanhan believed what Zhou Bin said and agreed to let him go back first. He Zhinan looked at Gao Peng sleeping on the sofa. She covered him with a blanket. Early the next morning, He Zhinan woke up and quickly checked her phone.
She looked at Gao Peng outside and quickly called Qu Yipeng. Qu Yipeng asked her what she was doing. He Zhinan said she wasn't doing anything, just staying at home with her parents. Qu Yipeng asked her, wasn't she not spending the weekend at home? He Zhinan said her grandma's birthday was next week. Qu Yipeng knew He Zhinan was lying.
Qu Yipeng told He Zhinan that they had just gotten together and he hoped He Zhinan could be honest with him. He Zhinan hummed in response, and Qu Yipeng said he was just joking with her. He Zhinan asked him what he was doing, she wasn't fully awake yet. Qu Yipeng said he just wanted to help her wake up. He Zhinan said she shouldn't have let Gao Peng stay here overnight. She told Gao Peng to go home quickly.
Gao Peng said before he went home, He Zhinan should accompany him to the mall. He Zhinan didn't want to go. Gao Peng said it was to help him with his psychological well-being. When they arrived at the mall, He Zhinan received a text message from Qu Yipeng saying that he saw her with Gao Peng. Qu Yipeng followed He Zhinan to the mall. He told her he was very sad.
Just when He Zhinan didn't know what to do, Qu Yipeng's call came through. He Zhinan quickly told Gao Peng she was going to try on clothes. In the fitting room, He Zhinan answered the call. Qu Yipeng said he was going crazy with jealousy, but he still missed He Zhinan very much. Qu Yipeng said he was waiting at home for He Zhinan to come back.
He Zhinan said she would go out now and make things clear to Gao Peng. He Zhinan went out and asked Gao Peng if he was still using his parents' money to buy these things. She said Gao Peng was giving his family the cold shoulder while spending their money. She told Gao Peng if he really wanted to give her things, he should use his own money.
She told Gao Peng to go home and have a good talk with his parents. Sun Hanhan and Zhou Bin came back together. Zhou Bin asked Sun Hanhan what she was thinking about. Sun Hanhan said these past few days were too wonderful, just like a dream. Sun Hanhan told Zhou Bin that the road to her home was too congested at this time.
She asked Zhou Bin to drop her off at the ferry terminal, and she would go back by herself. Zhou Bin asked her why she didn't live closer to the company. Sun Hanhan said not everyone was like him; houses near the company were too expensive. Zhou Bin said he would rent a house for Sun Hanhan. Sun Hanhan said if she did that, she would become a 'caged bird'. She refused Zhou Bin.
He Zhinan called Sun Hanhan and talked about Gao Peng and Qu Yipeng. Sun Hanhan called her a jerk, and He Zhinan said that only by doing this did she feel cared about. While He Zhinan was conflicted about Qu Yipeng and Gao Peng, the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw Qu Yipeng. Qu Yipeng kissed her as soon as he came in. He asked her if he was her boyfriend.
He Zhinan told him he was her ex-boyfriend. After they had a passionate time together, Qu Yipeng told He Zhinan that he wanted to marry her. But He Zhinan didn't have any thoughts on this. She didn't answer Qu Yipeng directly. Just as Sun Hanhan finished cooking, Zhou Bin arrived. Zhou Bin again suggested renting a house for her. Sun Hanhan was unwilling, feeling that she would lose her freedom that way. Han Su met the person she followed, Sun Xu, while running in the morning, even though he didn't know her.
Episode 8 Recap
As soon as He Zhinan got off work, she saw Qu Yipeng waiting for her. She asked him why he didn't call her. Qu Yipeng said he wanted to see if she was with someone else. He Zhinan said her ex-boyfriend had left long ago. Qu Yipeng said he wouldn't mention him again. The two of them went home hand in hand. Qu Yipeng asked He Zhinan when she would introduce him to her friends.
He Zhinan said she would take him to meet them. The two of them went back home together. Qu Yipeng cooked for He Zhinan in the kitchen. Qu Yipeng's phone rang. He Zhinan called out to him, but he didn't hear her. He Zhinan answered the call. Han Su's voice immediately came through.
She said she wanted Qu Yipeng to send her the Youku membership verification code, as she just remembered she used Qu Yipeng's phone number to set it up. Han Su talked for a while with no one responding. She then told Qu Yipeng to stop messing around; she finally didn't have to work overtime today and wanted to binge-watch a drama. He Zhinan was stunned when she heard Han Su's voice.
She asked if Han Su was looking for Qu Yipeng. Hearing a female voice, Han Su asked who was on the line. He Zhinan said she was Qu Yipeng's friend. Han Su said she was his girlfriend. He Zhinan said she knew her. Han Su asked what kind of friend she was to Qu Yipeng. He Zhinan said it wasn't convenient to tell her. She said she would pass the message to Qu Yipeng, and then hung up the phone.
He Zhinan deleted the verification code message and all the call records from Han Su. She then turned around and walked into the kitchen as if nothing had happened. Qu Yipeng's phone rang again. This time he answered it; it was Han Su's mother calling. He Zhinan also heard the content of their conversation. She quietly hid and wiped away tears. Han Su kept calling Qu Yipeng, but Qu Yipeng didn't answer any of them.
Han Su was so sad she started throwing up. After taking medicine, she lay in bed and called Qu Yipeng again, but he still didn't answer. Han Su lay in bed in disappointment. During dinner, He Zhinan asked Qu Yipeng why he didn't answer the phone. Qu Yipeng said it was a call from his boss. He Zhinan said she had already heard the content of his call and had also heard Su Su.
Qu Yipeng said she was his ex-girlfriend. He then started using PUA tactics on He Zhinan. Qu Yipeng told her everyone has a past, and wasn't He Zhinan still seeing her ex-boyfriend? Qu Yipeng also said that none of them popped out from a crack in a rock; they all have feelings. Since they cherish past feelings, it means they are all people who value emotions. Qu Yipeng told He Zhinan not to mention them again in the future.
He Zhinan nodded. The next morning, Qu Yipeng received a call from Han Su. He immediately said he worked overtime last night and didn't hear her call. Han Su then said, "Let's break up. " Qu Yipeng agreed. He said Han Su didn't think much of him anyway. He knew Han Su was an ambitious person, and his "temple was too small to hold her, the great Buddha".
Qu Yipeng said, "Didn't you go to Hong Kong because you wanted to break up? " Han Su didn't want to say anything more and remained silent. Han Su said they were both adults, so they should part amicably. She said she would come back next week to pick up her luggage. Qu Yipeng then offered to make her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
Han Su asked if he would change the note he had for her in his contacts now that they had broken up. Qu Yipeng thought for a moment and said he wouldn't change it. Zhou Bin called Sun Hanhan and asked her to do him a favor. His friend had a house near Sun Hanhan's company, and a set of furniture was being delivered there. He asked Sun Hanhan to go and help receive it.
Sun Hanhan was attracted by the luxury of the house when she arrived. Most importantly, it was very close to where she worked. Soon after, Zhou Bin also arrived. Zhou Bin told her this was his house and it hadn't been rented out. He said he wanted to rent it to Sun Hanhan. Of course, he would charge rent, but he would give her a discount. The two of them started kissing and cuddling in the new house.
Zeng Cheng came to Hong Kong to visit Han Su. She asked Han Su if she rented a house here at a high price just to meet Sun Xu. Han Su said she met him, but she didn't lose control of her emotions as she had imagined. All the efforts she made today were also to stand in front of Sun Xu and tell him that she was his daughter. He Zhinan visited Sun Hanhan's new home.
She asked Sun Hanhan if Zhou Bin still met with his ex-wife. Sun Hanhan said maybe.
Episode 9 Recap
After Sun Hanhan saw the large group photo of Zhou Bin and Zeng Cheng, she angrily walked into Zhou Bin's office and asked him what was going on. She asked about him holding Zeng Cheng's hand, looking sweet and affectionate, and even posting it on Moments. She said how come their relationship couldn't be made public, feeling like a mistress. Zhou Bin asked if she was finished, and if so, he would speak.
Zhou Bin said that the collaborating partner yesterday was introduced by Zeng Cheng, and in that kind of setting, he couldn't just shake off Zeng Cheng's hand. Zhou Bin said he had originally planned to clarify things with Zeng Cheng yesterday, but before he could say anything, she was already like this. Saying that, Zhou Bin showed Sun Hanhan a photo on his phone of a wrist with a wound.
As soon as Sun Hanhan saw the photo, her anger subsided. Zhou Bin continued to act pitiful, saying he had thought Sun Hanhan could understand him, but now it seemed he was overthinking. Zhou Bin told Sun Hanhan to go back. Sun Hanhan felt she had done something wrong and quickly tried to appease Zhou Bin. While Sun Hanhan was eating, a colleague told her that she would have a meeting with Zeng Cheng soon.
Sun Hanhan quickly went to the restroom to touch up her makeup. During the meeting, Sun Hanhan saw the gauze wrapped around Zeng Cheng's arm, and she thought of what Zhou Bin had said. After Zeng Cheng stated the main points of the meeting, she asked Sun Hanhan for her opinion. Sun Hanhan said it felt a bit condescending, and also a bit outdated.
After the meeting, Sun Hanhan went to find Zeng Cheng, saying there was a document she needed her signature on. She told Zeng Cheng that she didn't know what to say just now and just spoke randomly, apologizing to Zeng Cheng. Zeng Cheng told her not to apologize, saying she liked such unique insights in work. Sun Hanhan took the opportunity to ask what happened to Zeng Cheng's hand.
Zeng Cheng said they had a new house being renovated, and when she went to see it yesterday, the power went out, and she fell. Sun Hanhan thought about how it was different from what Zhou Bin said. She said it sounded quite painful. Sun Hanhan said Zeng Cheng was already injured but was still working so hard. Zeng Cheng said this injury was nothing to her. Zhou Bin was listening to something with earphones on.
Zeng Cheng came and hugged him, asking what he was listening to. She asked Zhou Bin to look at the renovation plans for their new house. Zeng Cheng said she didn't want the gym anymore. Zhou Bin asked if she wanted to expand the walk-in closet. Zeng Cheng said she wanted to create a children's room; she said she wanted a child now.
Zhou Bin told her not to be impulsive, saying it was she who originally said they would be DINKS, and now it was also she who wanted a child. Zeng Cheng said this time it wouldn't be like that; she truly wanted a child. Zeng Cheng asked Zhou Bin to accompany her for a physical examination next Monday. Zhou Bin said he would listen to her. Qu Yipeng invited He Zhinan and Sun Hanhan to eat together.
While Qu Yipeng was getting condiments, He Zhinan asked Sun Hanhan how she felt about him. Sun Hanhan said he was pretty good, and then she also went to get condiments. Qu Yipeng asked Sun Hanhan if he could ask her out alone. Sun Hanhan asked him what for. Qu Yipeng said he wanted to know about He Zhinan's boyfriend of seven years. Sun Hanhan said she wasn't familiar with Gao Peng; they had only eaten together a few times.
On the way back, He Zhinan sent a WeChat message to Sun Hanhan, asking what she thought of Qu Yipeng. Sun Hanhan said he was a nice person, and also very smart. She told He Zhinan that Qu Yipeng asked her about Gao Peng, but she didn't say anything. He Zhinan gave her a thumbs-up. Qu Yipeng saw Gao Peng's Weibo. He asked He Zhinan how about going to the ancient town this weekend.
He Zhinan asked Sun Hanhan if she was going. Sun Hanhan said she definitely didn't want to be a third wheel for the two of them. He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng went to the ancient town together and took a photo. He Zhinan changed it to her phone wallpaper, and Qu Yipeng also changed his. Han Su sent him a message saying she would be back this weekend. Qu Yipeng said he would pick her up.
Han Su told Uncle Zhong that she had broken up and would go back tomorrow to see him one last time. Uncle Zhong told her to cry hard and laugh hard; once she had cried and laughed, it would pass. When Han Su returned and ate with Qu Yipeng, she saw his phone wallpaper. He Zhinan also called.
Han Su said she had known for a long time; actually, the night before they broke up, when she called, it was He Zhinan who answered. Han Su said she believed Qu Yipeng loved her, but he was very smart and wouldn't keep someone without value.
Episode 10 Recap
On the first day Han Su returned to Hong Kong, she ran into Lawyer Hu, who was preparing to give her a ride. The two chatted for a while on the road. Lawyer Hu asked her what she went back for this time. Han Su said she went back to break up with her boyfriend. Lawyer Hu said then she should be promoted very quickly.
Lawyer Hu said their law firm has an unwritten rule, which is that if you sign a client within a month of working, you can get a promotion. She said it took her thirteen months to sign a client back then. Lawyer Hu asked Han Su if she wanted to take on the challenge. When Han Su was drinking with her good friend Alex, she asked him to introduce her to Gao Peng.
She said his company was about to go public. Alex said that Gao Peng just happened to be asking him about law firms a few days ago. Han Su asked him to put in a good word for her with Gao Peng. Alex said that was definite. Han Su asked him what Gao Peng's company name was so she could do her homework beforehand.
Alex told her that was secondary; for the first meeting, she should just become friends with Gao Peng first. Soon Gao Peng arrived, and Alex introduced him to Han Su. Zeng Cheng and Zhou Bin went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told Zeng Cheng it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant. Zeng Cheng asked if she could do IVF. The doctor told her the success rate for IVF was only twenty-five to fifty percent.
If IVF is not successful the first time, she would need a D&C, which would cause significant harm to her body. Zeng Cheng could not accept this result and started to cry. Zhou Bin comforted her, saying it was okay. Anyway, they were already used to being DINKS. Zeng Cheng said Zhou Bin clearly liked children so much. Zhou Bin told her not to cry and to go home first.
Sun Hanhan saw that Zeng Cheng was very haggard at the company. She asked Xin Jie what was wrong with Zeng Cheng. Xin Jie told her not to gossip about the boss. Sun Hanhan said perhaps Zeng Cheng seemed so perfect in front of others but had some flaws behind the scenes. Xin Jie said it was possible. Sun Hanhan then said she should persuade Zeng Cheng. Xin Jie said she was the one acting abnormally recently.
She asked Sun Hanhan if she was in a relationship. Sun Hanhan didn't answer. During the meeting, Zhou Bin sent her a text message asking her to eat together at night. Sun Hanhan quickly walked out and sent Zhou Bin a voice message saying she was still working overtime and probably couldn't eat together. He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng were eating hot dry noodles together.
He Zhinan asked what was the difference between these thirteen-yuan-a-bowl hot dry noodles and white truffles that cost several thousand yuan per gram. Qu Yipeng asked her why she was thinking about this. He Zhinan said the girl at the workstation next to her is the daughter of a real estate tycoon. When she first came to the company, she hid her identity, and only found out after losing a game with her.
Once she invited her to play at her house, and she ate something from the refrigerator that looked like preserved vegetables. Only later did she learn it was white truffle, and one bite she ate was worth several thousand yuan. Qu Yipeng thought about the many luxury brand boxes He Zhinan had thrown away. He said He Zhinan wasn't bad off either. He Zhinan said she was shocked when she saw the photos her colleague Chen Shishi took on vacation.
Saying that, she showed them to Qu Yipeng. Qu Yipeng knew he had mistaken the person. He could only awkwardly say it was quite shocking. Qu Yipeng found Sister J and asked her about He Zhinan's family background. Sister J told him He Zhinan was just an ordinary girl. Don't be fooled by her buying so many brand-name items every day; they were all gifts from her rich boyfriend. Qu Yipeng also inquired about Chen Shishi's background.
After inquiring, he started to give He Zhinan the silent treatment. Zeng Cheng treated the people in the company to pizza. They asked her about her and Zhou Bin. Zeng Cheng said their relationship was very sweet. Sun Hanhan felt very sad. When she returned home, Zhou Bin was a bit angry because he had waited too long for her. He said he had turned down many clients for Sun Hanhan.
He told Sun Hanhan not to work and that he would support her. Sun Hanhan asked if he wanted her to be his full-time Barbie doll. Saying that, she started to cry and asked him when he would come clean with Zeng Cheng. Zhou Bin asked her to give him three months. Han Su and Alex came to talk business with Gao Peng. Gao Peng asked Alex to help him log into his Weibo.
Alex saw someone sent Gao Peng a private message. He opened it and it was a photo of He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng together. Han Su also saw it. Gao Peng said he had something to do and would talk another day. Han Su asked him to give her a ride for a while.
Episode 11 Recap
Han Su saw that Gao Peng was a little angry, and she thought of what Alex had said about becoming friends with Gao Peng. Han Su told him that she knew the man in the photo, and the two of them came to the riverside. Han Su asked Gao Peng to take out the photo of He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng. She told Gao Peng that the man was her ex-boyfriend.
When she found out about He Zhinan's existence, Qu Yipeng and she hadn't completely broken up yet. Gao Peng said they were also in the same boat, and the two of them went to a bar. Gao Peng asked Han Su what kind of person Qu Yipeng was. Han Su said he was gentle and considerate and knew how to appease people. She asked Gao Peng what kind of person He Zhinan was.
Gao Peng said she was cute and had a sense of morality. The two chatted for a while. Han Su felt that Gao Peng's sadness was far greater than his anger. Gao Peng said he had always thought He Zhinan breaking up with him was just for attention. He also wondered why He Zhinan was so absolute about this breakup. Han Su said she could tell Gao Peng loved He Zhinan very much.
After drinking, Gao Peng walked Han Su downstairs. Gao Peng asked her if she was interested in his company. Han Su was very willing. The two of them agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon to talk about work. Han Su said she felt it was He Zhinan's loss to miss out on Gao Peng. Gao Peng smiled and watched Han Su's receding back. He Zhinan was drinking at a bar.
Sun Hanhan came to find her and asked her why she was here getting drunk in the middle of the day. He Zhinan said she had been broken up with. Sun Hanhan asked her what exactly happened. He Zhinan said she was dumped abruptly. She sent a message to Qu Yipeng saying he was busy. His phone was busy when she called, and she couldn't find him at the company either. It was like he had vanished into thin air.
He Zhinan thought back on these past few days. She felt like she wasn't in a relationship with Qu Yipeng, but rather with the part of herself that loved Qu Yipeng. What He Zhinan said was just heard by a boy singing in the bar. He sang that line into his song. He Zhinan also started shouting along with the melody. After the song ended, the boy proactively came over and added He Zhinan's contact information.
He thought what He Zhinan said was good and that she was very talented. He Zhinan also thought he was good. Turning around, He Zhinan deleted Qu Yipeng's WeChat. Sun Hanhan just quietly watched her. The next day, He Zhinan was at work. A colleague told her someone was looking for her at the front desk. He Zhinan went to see and it was the boy from the bar that day. She addressed him as Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang came to give He Zhinan his new song. He asked He Zhinan to give him some feedback. He Zhinan told Sun Hanhan that Teacher Zhang had invited her to the recording studio. Sun Hanhan said the two of them had just met and didn't know each other well yet. However, He Zhinan felt that Teacher Zhang valued her opinions. She thought Teacher Zhang was interested in her talent. Zeng Cheng just returned home after getting the ovulation shot.
She didn't expect the shot to be so painful. Zhou Bin told her to lie on the bed and rest. Zeng Cheng found that Zhou Bin's playlist was completely different from before. She looked and realized that Zhou Bin was listening to a playlist shared by a girl, and that girl was Sun Hanhan, whom she also knew. Zeng Cheng quietly looked at Zhou Bin's phone and found that he had deleted all call records. Zeng Cheng became suspicious.
She found Sun Hanhan in Zhou Bin's WeChat contacts. Zeng Cheng deliberately used Zhou Bin's phone to send Sun Hanhan an ambiguous text message, and the result was exactly as she had suspected. Zhou Bin had indeed cheated. Zeng Cheng called Han Su and told her everything. Zhou Bin quietly arranged to meet Sun Hanhan on the ferry. Sun Hanhan asked him what was wrong. Why did he block her, and why did it feel like a spy meeting?
Zhou Bin said Zeng Cheng found out about their relationship and argued with him all night yesterday. Sun Hanhan asked him if he was hiding something from her and why she felt so strange. Zhou Bin appeased Sun Hanhan again and gave her a card. Gao Peng, Alex, Han Su, and others were having fun at a bar, and Alex's cousin Emily was also there. And she was getting along well with Gao Peng.
Alex said he originally intended to introduce her to Han Su. Han Su told him that she now felt work was more important. He Zhinan was upset by Teacher Zhang, as Teacher Zhang just wanted to get intimate with her. He Zhinan was very sad. She decided to go find Gao Peng. Gao Peng was told He Zhinan was coming. Han Su asked him if he would forgive He Zhinan if she was completely honest with him.
Gao Peng didn't say anything. Zeng Cheng met Sun Hanhan alone. Sun Hanhan asked Xin Jie if she had done anything wrong lately.
Episode 12 Recap
Sun Hanhan went to see Zeng Cheng. Zeng Cheng said although it was awkward, she still felt they should have a good talk. Sun Hanhan directly said that her boyfriend was her ex-husband, it was just a coincidence and nothing to be awkward about. Zeng Cheng, however, said that she and Zhou Bin had a fake divorce in order to invest in a real estate property, and they would remarry soon.
And Zeng Cheng told her that Zhou Bin definitely told her he had bipolar disorder and that he was a person who valued feelings, and that Sun Hanhan was also a sensible adult woman. As soon as Sun Hanhan heard it was the same as what Zhou Bin said, she asked Zeng Cheng if Zhou Bin told her this. Zeng Cheng said he didn't need to tell her, she could already guess roughly.
Hearing this, Sun Hanhan's eyes were already welling up with tears, but she still sat there calmly. Zeng Cheng said the misunderstanding was cleared and hoped Sun Hanhan could keep her distance from Zhou Bin, and she could let bygones be bygones regarding past events. Sun Hanhan asked her what if Zhou Bin was unwilling to keep his distance from her, and she asked Zeng Cheng why she thought such things were always women seducing men.
Zeng Cheng said she was still young and shouldn't think love could conquer everything. Sun Hanhan then said yes, she was still young, while Zeng Cheng had already lost her youth. Zeng Cheng was about to say something else, but Sun Hanhan said national law protects marital relationships. But it doesn't protect fake marital relationships. She said she had a clear conscience regarding the law and her feelings for Zhou Bin. After saying this, Sun Hanhan left.
Not long after walking out, Sun Hanhan started crying. She took the ferry alone to the old house from before, but saw that people were already clearing things out. Sun Hanhan sat alone on the stairs and cried. Zhou Bin was talking business with Director Xu Par. Zeng Cheng kept calling him, so Director Xu Par told him to answer the phone first. Zeng Cheng told him no matter where he was, he must come home immediately.
Zhou Bin asked her what was wrong and said they could talk when he got back. He said he had finally managed to arrange a meeting with Director Xu Par. Zeng Cheng asked him what was going on with Zhongchenghui. When Zhou Bin heard that this was Sun Hanhan's residence, he quickly went back. When Zhou Bin got home, he started saying irrelevant things. Zeng Cheng asked him if he wasn't going to explain the Zhongchenghui matter to her.
Zhou Bin just said people of her status threw themselves at him. Zeng Cheng said that was different from what she heard. What she heard was that the two of them were in love. Zhou Bin told her not to listen to Sun Hanhan's nonsense. Zeng Cheng told him not to talk about these things vaguely with her. She said anyway, the two of them were already divorced.
Zeng Cheng said that if he hadn't relied on her connections and her family's money back then, how could Zhou Bin have gotten to where he is today? Zhou Bin got angry. He asked Zeng Cheng if she could stop bringing this up all the time. Zeng Cheng was so angry she smashed a cup on the floor. Zhou Bin said she could be angry, but why smash things?
Zeng Cheng said they were already divorced, everything in this house was hers, and she told Zhou Bin to get out. Zhou Bin turned around to find Sun Hanhan, but she also kicked him out. Zhou Bin was driving irritably and encountered a drunk driving check. The police officer asked him to blow, and Zhou Bin impatiently blew once. The traffic police officer asked him to blow again, but Zhou Bin refused, and the cars behind started urging him.
Zhou Bin immediately got out of the car angrily and started arguing with the driver behind him. Zhou Bin was arrested by the police and taken to the police station. The next day, as soon as Zhou Bin got out, he went to find Sun Hanhan. Sun Hanhan and He Zhinan happened to be getting ready to go back together. Sun Hanhan didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin said he would wait for her downstairs.
Seeing that Zhou Bin was still downstairs, Sun Hanhan couldn't help but bring him a bottle of water. Zhou Bin told her he didn't love Zeng Cheng at all; he only loved Sun Hanhan. Zeng Cheng called him. In front of Sun Hanhan, Zhou Bin said he wasn't going back. Sun Hanhan said if what he said was true, he should go back and sort everything out before coming to find her again.
On the way back, Zhou Bin saw a video sent by Zeng Cheng, showing things smashed all over the house and her cutting the sofa with a knife. He Zhinan went to find Gao Peng. Gao Peng said he wasn't free to pick her up and told her to take a taxi. He Zhinan arrived at Gao Peng's place by herself, opened the door, and saw a lot of people there.
Episode 13 Recap
He Zhinan opened the door and saw many people at Gao Peng's place, she was a bit stunned. Emily was the first to come and greet her, she said she was Alex's cousin and Gao Peng's good friend. Alex asked her if she still remembered him, they had met in Jiangzhou. He Zhinan nodded, and Emily introduced the other colleagues to He Zhinan. He Zhinan asked Alex where Gao Peng was, Alex said he had an online meeting upstairs.
After saying that, Emily said she would take her for a look around, and Alex went upstairs to tell Gao Peng that it was indeed as Han Su had said. He Zhinan felt a sense of crisis, Gao Peng looked at Han Su, and he said, "Is doing this really okay? " Han Su said, "You'll know soon whether it's good or not," Gao Peng was half-doubting and didn't speak.
The day before, Han Su and Gao Peng had talked about his relationship with He Zhinan. Han Su told him that the biggest problem between him and He Zhinan was that He Zhinan didn't realize Gao Peng's importance. Emily took He Zhinan around and introduced her to everything in the house, as if she were the mistress of the house.
Emily said to He Zhinan, "I heard you've been together for seven years, which is not as long as I've been with Gao Peng. " He Zhinan asked if the two of them were very close, Emily said, "Alright, I guess. " As she spoke, she took He Zhinan to a bathtub and said that last night she had told Gao Peng how pleasant it would be if they soaked together.
He Zhinan couldn't listen anymore, at this moment she just wanted to see Gao Peng. He Zhinan cried out for Gao Peng, and Gao Peng came out of the meeting room. He Zhinan saw him come out, quickly hugged him, and said she missed him. Gao Peng introduced Han Su to her, and Han Su recognized her at a glance as Qu Yipeng's girlfriend.
Seeing He Zhinan about to cry, Han Su said, "You must be very tired today, hurry up and wash your face and change your clothes. " After unpacking her luggage, He Zhinan went to the kitchen and started washing dishes. Gao Peng's friends had also left. Gao Peng told her to leave it there, someone would clean it up later. He Zhinan said it was okay for her to clean it herself.
Gao Peng said he still had documents to look at later, he told He Zhinan to do whatever she wanted. Gao Peng was also thinking about He Zhinan in the study, He Zhinan felt the unfamiliarity between the two of them. She came to the study and told Gao Peng everything about Qu Yipeng, Gao Peng asked He Zhinan if she loved him now. He Zhinan said she loved him, so Gao Peng chose to forgive He Zhinan.
Han Su and Emily went together to drink herbal tea, Han Su asked her if leaving her phone at Gao Peng's place last time was intentional. Emily said she should see through it but not expose it, Han Su asked how far their relationship had progressed. Emily didn't say directly, she felt that He Zhinan was no match for her at all, but if it were Han Su, she might think it was possible.
Han Su told her not to assume everyone likes Gao Peng, she said Gao Peng wasn't her type. At night, He Zhinan lay in bed and told Sun Hanhan that she and Gao Peng had made up, Sun Hanhan said she was really amazing and asked her how she managed it. He Zhinan was very happy, she shouted "I love you" to Gao Peng who was showering in the bathroom.
Gao Peng poked his head out and asked what she said, He Zhinan said "I love you" again. Just as she was happy, a stud earring suddenly appeared on the bed. He Zhinan asked Sun Hanhan what to do. As she was speaking, Gao Peng came out. When he saw the message Emily sent him, he quickly moved aside. Seeing this, He Zhinan felt even more strongly that Gao Peng was cheating.
Gao Peng said he had work and was going to the study. As soon as Gao Peng went out, he opened the swimsuit photos Emily sent him. Emily asked him to come play with her next time. Han Su and Gao Peng's company cooperated, Gao Peng told her that he and He Zhinan had made up. He said He Zhinan confessed everything to him, Han Su asked, "Including that person?
" Han Su asked him if he could get past it, Gao Peng said they had been together since they were eighteen. He Zhinan was the kindest, most straightforward girl he had ever met. Han Su didn't say anything more. Zeng Cheng hinted that all of Zhou Bin's assets were in her hands, and by then Zhou Bin would definitely beg her to remarry him.
And Sun Hanhan wouldn't waste her best years being a mistress, but she also wouldn't forgive Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin told Sun Hanhan that he was preparing to remarry, and he had no money under his name. If he really divorced, he would still be in debt. Sun Hanhan said she had a job and didn't need him to support her, only now did she realize Zhou Bin had been lying to her all along.
Episode 14 Recap
He Zhinan asked Han Su to have dinner together. She said she heard from Gao Peng that Han Su was a workaholic. She wanted to get to know Han Su better. Han Su said her lunch break was very short. She told He Zhinan to get straight to the point if she had something to say. He Zhinan took out the stud earring she found on Gao Peng's bed. She asked Han Su what she thought.
Han Su said what could she think? She and Gao Peng just had a living relationship. He Zhinan asked about Emily. What did it mean that she sent Gao Peng bikini photos in the middle of the night? Han Su said Emily was pursuing Gao Peng. She asked He Zhinan if she couldn't see that. Han Su said it wasn't just Emily, many girls at Gao Peng's company liked him. He Zhinan said she came too late.
Only after coming this time did she realize she couldn't leave Gao Peng. He Zhinan asked Han Su if she could help her. Han Su asked her how to help. He Zhinan said if Emily contacted Gao Peng, Han Su should tell her. Han Su glanced at her and didn't speak. He Zhinan then said if Han Su helped her, she would also make her a real client in front of Gao Peng.
Han Su asked her if she didn't trust Gao Peng very much, why wouldn't she ask him herself. He Zhinan's eyes were about to tear up. She said she couldn't leave Gao Peng. Han Su then asked if she wanted her to use her trust to gain Gao Peng's trust. He Zhinan didn't know what to do. Han Su thought of what Zeng Cheng had said, and she felt that prioritizing her career was important now.
Han Su felt that she should secure Gao Peng's business now. She told He Zhinan that the necklace might have been deliberately left by Emily to make them argue. He Zhinan understood what Han Su meant. Han Su said her colleague was looking for her and left. He Zhinan was very grateful to Han Su for telling her these things. He Zhinan was watching a short play on the sofa when Gao Peng returned.
He Zhinan asked him what he wanted for dinner. Gao Peng said he had already eaten. He told He Zhinan to stay by herself for a while, and he would take her for a late-night snack after he finished work. He Zhinan could tell that Gao Peng had a cold. She made a cup of cold medicine for Gao Peng and brought it to the study.
He Zhinan pulled Gao Peng and told him to come down because she had something for him. He Zhinan said it was herself. Gao Peng lay on He Zhinan's legs, listening to her sing. He Zhinan told Gao Peng that she wouldn't go back, she would stay in Hong Kong. This way, they wouldn't have a long-distance relationship anymore. Gao Peng sat up quickly when he heard this.
He asked He Zhinan what she would do if she didn't go back to work. He Zhinan said she would quit. She asked Gao Peng if he wasn't happy about her staying. Before Gao Peng could say anything, his phone rang. Gao Peng walked aside to answer the call. It was Emily calling. She said it was her birthday today and asked Gao Peng if he wasn't coming. Gao Peng said he had to stay home and accompany He Zhinan.
Emily then said Han Su was also there and was going to introduce a client to him. Only then did Gao Peng agree to go. He Zhinan asked him why he was going out for a meeting so late. Gao Peng said Zhang Jingli was introducing a client to him, and he had to go socialize. As soon as Gao Peng left, He Zhinan called Han Su. Han Su told her.
He Zhinan went directly to the bar where they were gathered. Gao Peng said she had a headache, how did she come? He Zhinan said Emily was hosting a welcome party for her, how could she not come? As she spoke, she gave a gift to Emily. Emily opened it and saw it was the stud earring she had deliberately left behind. Gao Peng gave Han Su a look. The two of them went to a stairwell.
Gao Peng asked Han Su if she had told He Zhinan. Han Su said He Zhinan had called her. She said instead of hiding it, it was better to be open about it, anyway, there were so many of them there. He Zhinan thanked Han Su for telling her. Han Su said that the stud earring was actually hers, and Emily had borrowed it from her. He Zhinan realized that Emily was trying to frame Han Su.
Suddenly, Emily's boyfriend arrived and started hitting Gao Peng. He Zhinan ran over angrily to help Gao Peng fight the man. The two of them returned home looking disheveled. Gao Peng said he was only relaxed in front of He Zhinan. He Zhinan also said she treated him like family. Zhou Bin's work had problems. He wanted Zeng Cheng to help him, so he found Zeng Cheng and wanted to remarry her.
Episode 15 Recap
Zhou Bin came to find Zeng Cheng with his divorce certificate and other documents to remarry. Zeng Cheng asked him if he was demanding her. Zhou Bin said no, he was begging her to remarry him. He asked Zeng Cheng what else she wanted to punish him with. Zeng Cheng asked him if he didn't think this matter was manipulated by her behind the scenes. Zhou Bin said he didn't think that way, but Zeng Cheng had that capability.
Zeng Cheng asked Zhou Bin if he wanted to give up love over there for this bit of petty gain right in front of him. Zhou Bin said these were two different things. He said didn't Zeng Cheng ask him to consider remarrying? He had considered it now and wanted to remarry. Zhou Bin said as for the messy business matters, it didn't matter if she didn't want to deal with them. Zeng Cheng said he was speaking quite strongly.
Zhou Bin began to apologize to Zeng Cheng, saying it was all his fault, that he had ruined their relationship. Zhou Bin said he was wrong. Zeng Cheng asked him if she would definitely forgive him just because he cheated. Zhou Bin said wasn't there Zeng Cheng's problem when he cheated? For so many years, he didn't feel like Zeng Cheng's husband, but rather her son.
Zeng Cheng asked Zhou Bin if this was discussing remarriage with her, this sounded like divorce. Zhou Bin spoke about how wronged he was in this family. Zeng Cheng told him since he was so wronged, they would still divorce after remarrying. At that time, it wouldn't be like now. By then, they would both become vulgar people who quibble over every penny for the sake of property. Zhou Bin asked Zeng Cheng if she had never thought about remarrying.
Zeng Cheng left angrily. He Zhinan came to Gao Peng's company with some things. Gao Peng asked her to wait in his office for a while, he would go find her later. He Zhinan said she wasn't here to find him. She heard Han Su was having a meeting here, so she came. As she spoke, Han Su came out.
She said her lunch break was only half an hour, and she didn't have time to eat lunch with He Zhinan. He Zhinan said she knew, so she brought lunch. After saying that, the two of them left together, leaving the hungry Gao Peng behind. Because last time Han Su read the article He Zhinan wrote on her official account, she thought it was very good. Han Su helped He Zhinan organize other popular official accounts for her to study.
Han Su encouraged He Zhinan to write articles for her official account. When He Zhinan was shopping, she saw a dress suitable for Han Su, so she bought it and gave it to Han Su. Xin Jie called Sun Hanhan and asked her to attend Zeng Cheng's meeting later. Sun Hanhan asked if she could not go. Xin Jie said Zeng Cheng specifically asked her to go.
Sun Hanhan was the person in charge of this case, so she had to go. After the meeting, Sun Hanhan waited for Zeng Cheng to thank her for speaking up for her during the meeting. Zeng Cheng said she wasn't helping her. This was her own matter; if not handled well, she would have to pay. She would do this even if she were just putting on a show.
She told Sun Hanhan to quickly revise the plan so they wouldn't have to meet again. Sun Hanhan called He Zhinan and told her about this matter. He Zhinan asked her if she still wanted to believe Zhou Bin. Sun Hanhan said Zhou Bin kept calling and texting her. She said if Zhou Bin really remarried Zeng Cheng and then divorced again for profit, then she would really look down on him. Zhou Bin was overwhelmed with work problems.
Zeng Cheng called him and said she was helping him, and only then did Zhou Bin feel a bit relieved. When He Zhinan and Gao Peng were chatting together, He Zhinan heard that Gao Peng might not use Han Su as the company's lawyer. He Zhinan started to worry about Han Su. She went to Han Su's law firm to find Han Su. She brought the documents she found on Gao Peng's desk to Han Su.
He Zhinan hoped she could help Han Su. Han Su asked her why she wanted to help her. He Zhinan said because they were good friends. Because of this sentence, Han Su thought of her high school deskmate who had said the same thing, but she ended up losing her best friend. Han Su poured out her feelings to Uncle Zhong, and started crying as she spoke.
Uncle Zhong told her this was growth and told her not to lose her good friend again. Zhou Bin came to find Zeng Cheng and learned that she had fainted. Zhou Bin quickly rushed to the hospital. The doctor told him that there were side effects from the ovulation injections she had previously taken. He said the worst case scenario was hemiplegia. Zhou Bin wanted to stay and take care of Zeng Cheng. Zeng Cheng said she had hired a caregiver.
Episode 16 Recap
Zhou Bin came to bring Zeng Cheng food. He asked Zeng Cheng what she was thinking about. Zeng Cheng said she still remembered when Baidu was first popular, it took her a long time to teach her mother how to use Baidu. But when she went back, she found that all the search history on Baidu was about what to do if her husband cheated. Zeng Cheng said she saw her mother secretly crying through the crack in the door.
Zeng Cheng said that was her dearest father, just one of thousands of men. She asked Zhou Bin if her test results were very bad. Zeng Cheng said no matter what the results were, she would not remarry Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin told her that no matter what the results were, and whether they remarried or not, he would not abandon Zeng Cheng.
As soon as Han Su walked into the office, her colleagues began to cheer for her, and Lawyer Hu even gave her a bouquet of flowers. It turned out that Han Su's signing with Gao Peng was successful, and Gao Peng even specially sent an email saying that Han Su was serious and responsible, and highly professional.
The other bosses at the law firm were also very happy when they saw this, and they decided to let Han Su be the person in charge of the entire project. Lawyer Hu called Han Su over and said that she was going to nominate Han Su for this year's best lawyer award. Han Su thanked Lawyer Hu very much for her care, and Lawyer Hu said that it wasn't she who helped her, but herself.
Han Su and He Zhinan ate together to celebrate Han Su's successful signing of the contract. Han Su said she had never seen such a silly Party A wife. Han Su told He Zhinan that the food she made had even been disliked by others. He Zhinan asked her if it was her ex-boyfriend. She asked Han Su to tell her about it.
Han Su knew about He Zhinan and Qu Yipeng's relationship, and she felt there was nothing to say. But He Zhinan kept asking her to talk, so Han Su said her ex-boyfriend had someone else. He Zhinan was surprised that someone could steal someone from Han Su. Han Su felt that their breakup was not someone else's fault. Because they were both too rational and too realistic, they were destined to break up.
He Zhinan told Han Su that she had actually liked someone else in Jiangzhou, because she felt that Gao Peng was just a robot who chatted on WeChat. But at this time, a boy happened to fall from the sky, and she fell in love with him. Han Su told her to stop talking. He Zhinan asked her why, and Han Su said that she and Gao Peng were partners and she wasn't afraid of her reporting her.
He Zhinan said their relationship was very close and she wouldn't do that. Han Su wanted to tell He Zhinan about her relationship with Qu Yipeng, but just as she opened her mouth, He Zhinan's phone rang. It was Sun Hanhan calling. Sun Hanhan told her that she deliberately arranged for Zhou Bin to be at the seminar where Zeng Cheng was coming. He Zhinan asked her if she was really going to do this.
Sun Hanhan said she had to see clearly in person. Sun Hanhan waited until Zhou Bin arrived, then she took his hand and walked towards the seminar. Just then, Zeng Cheng saw him. Zeng Cheng walked out, and Zhou Bin quickly shook off Sun Hanhan's hand. Zhou Bin saw that they wanted him to confront Zeng Cheng from back then. He said he had to leave first. Zeng Cheng asked him to tell Sun Hanhan the truth.
Zhou Bin had to say that he had already remarried Zeng Cheng. When Sun Hanhan heard Zhou Bin say it himself, her tears flowed down. Zeng Cheng took Zhou Bin's arm and left. Sun Hanhan cried and left. She moved out of the house Zhou Bin got for her. He Zhinan asked Han Su what perfect love was. Han Su said that love is most perfect before it even begins.
She told He Zhinan that when she was in high school, there was a boy who gave her steamed buns and chocolate every day, but neither of them said a word until they graduated. Gao Peng was having a meeting with Han Su and the company staff when He Zhinan called him back. Gao Peng asked her why she was in such a hurry to call him back. He Zhinan gave Gao Peng the roasted meat she had prepared.
Gao Peng took a bite and spat it out. He said his company was going public and he didn't have time to play this house game with He Zhinan. As he spoke, he was about to leave and go back to the company. Han Su and Gao Peng chatted for a while after their meeting. Gao Peng said that in other people's eyes, he was just a rich fool. But he also wanted to achieve something to show his parents.
Gao Peng said Han Su must help him, and Han Su said she would definitely help him. Han Su said she also had to thank Gao Peng for praising her in front of her boss, and Gao Peng said that was what Han Su deserved.
Episode 17 Recap
Since Sun Hanhan heard Zhou Bin say that he and Zeng Cheng had remarried, she felt like she had broken up. She was absent-minded every day, and even made mistakes at work. One day, she came to the arcade to catch dolls. A boy next to her told her how she should catch them. But Sun Hanhan was not interested, and she left silently.
Sun Hanhan walked aside to call the person she was going to have a blind date with, and unexpectedly, that person was the boy who had just spoken to her. He told Sun Hanhan that he had had her WeChat for half a year, from Zhou Bin's dinner party. He was immediately attracted to Sun Hanhan as if she were a ray of light, so he added Sun Hanhan's WeChat.
Sun Hanhan asked him if he was familiar with Zhou Bin. The boy said he knew him, but he didn't know him. He asked Sun Hanhan if she was familiar with Zhou Bin. Sun Hanhan said that like him, she was just insignificant in Lawyer Zhou's eyes. The boy said how could that be, he must be blind. As they talked, the two went to watch a movie together. He Zhinan asked Han Su to help her choose a dress.
She was going to attend a cocktail party with Gao Peng. He Zhinan didn't want to do this, but she was willing to go for Gao Peng. She said Gao Peng also gave her the guest list for the cocktail party to familiarize herself with. Han Su looked at the people on the list and said that the people on it were many people she wanted to know but didn't have the chance to.
He Zhinan said she had an idea to let Han Su be Gao Peng's female companion. Han Su said that people would misunderstand her as Gao Peng's girlfriend that way. He Zhinan said it didn't matter what others said. She thought Han Su should be the youngest lawyer partner. He Zhinan said there happened to be another invitation, and she could go enjoy food and drinks, which would be great for both of them, each getting what they wanted.
Han Su agreed to He Zhinan's suggestion. She attended the cocktail party with Gao Peng as his female companion. Some people mistook her for Gao Peng's girlfriend, and Gao Peng didn't deny it. Lawyer Hu came to greet Han Su and the others. Han Su told Lawyer Hu that He Zhinan was Gao Peng's girlfriend. Gao Peng wasn't very happy; on the contrary, the smile disappeared from his face.
Lawyer Hu told Han Su that she was planning to introduce Lawyer Sun, Sun Xu, to her. As soon as Han Su heard it was the person she had been trying desperately to see, her father, she was startled. But when Han Su saw him, she didn't dare to talk to him. Han Su quietly left. He Zhinan said how could he stand working eighteen hours a day?
Gao Peng said that when he got to the printing factory, he would have even less time to spend with He Zhinan. He Zhinan said it was alright, work was important. She said she could also go back. Gao Peng agreed happily when he heard this. He Zhinan was very disappointed to see his reaction. She said she was going to find Han Su. He Zhinan saw Han Su drinking sadly by herself. She asked Han Su what was wrong.
Han Su told her that she had just seen her dad. He Zhinan asked her if she had talked to him. Han Su said no. She said that since she was sixteen, she had set a goal to see him, and she wanted to achieve something to stand before him and ask if he regretted it.
But when she saw Sun Xu with his wife, Han Su felt that her ideas were too naive, and she ran away in a panic. Han Su cried sadly and drank a lot of alcohol. He Zhinan asked Gao Peng to take Han Su back. She said she wouldn't go home today and would stay to take care of Han Su.
Gao Peng said he couldn't imagine that Han Su could hang out with He Zhinan; they were not the same kind of people at all. Han Su said He Zhinan was frank and warm, and told Gao Peng to cherish her well. Gao Peng was not very happy. Han Su asked him what was wrong. Gao Peng said having no problem was their biggest problem. Emily knew that He Zhinan and Han Su got along very well.
She came to tell He Zhinan that Han Su was Susu. As soon as He Zhinan heard Susu, she immediately thought of Qu Yipeng's phone note Susu. She went to confront Han Su face to face. Han Su admitted it, and He Zhinan said she never wanted to see Han Su again. Zhou Bin saw Sun Hanhan talking to that boy. He stopped Sun Hanhan after she got off work.
Zhou Bin told her that he would definitely divorce Zeng Cheng. Sun Hanhan said Zeng Cheng went through IVF for him, and he was still thinking of divorce? Was he even a human? The two of them had a falling out. Zhou Bin started to humiliate Sun Hanhan, saying that everything she wore, used, and lived in was given by him. Sun Hanhan went home and packed the things Zhou Bin bought for her. She pretended to be a courier and put all these things in Zhou Bin's office.
Episode 18 Recap
He Zhinan sat by the sea alone, feeling the wind. She saw on her phone that her high school classmate's child was already a month old. He Zhinan wondered when Gao Peng would marry her. She said she wouldn't ask herself, right? Gao Peng came back at night. He said he was forced to go out for business and hadn't eaten yet. He Zhinan said she would make something for him.
He Zhinan watched Gao Peng eat and said their high school classmate's child was a month old. Gao Peng said he knew, and he even gave them a big red envelope. He Zhinan said she wouldn't give one. Gao Peng said she didn't need to. He Zhinan said among their high school classmates, besides those who broke up, only the two of them were not married. She asked Gao Peng when he would marry her.
Gao Peng was startled and choked. He Zhinan quickly said disappointedly that she was joking, saying she was still young and didn't want to get married. Gao Peng also said she was still young. He Zhinan quickly ran off as if to escape, saying she would go get water for Gao Peng. After He Zhinan walked away, Gao Peng spat out the noodles in his mouth.
Just now he was praising how good the noodles He Zhinan made were, but now he spat them out. He Zhinan came out to drink alone. When she was completely drunk, Han Su arrived. Han Su looked at He Zhinan lying on the ground. She also lay down with her and took her back. The next morning, when He Zhinan woke up, she saw Han Su making breakfast for her.
Han Su saw she was awake and came over to apologize to her. He Zhinan said that if she had received a 'tea-like' provocative call, she wouldn't have let that person off either. As soon as Han Su heard her words, she knew she wasn't angry anymore. She said then they were even, right? Han Su said she was cooking porridge and it smelled very good. He Zhinan said she smelled it and it was indeed fragrant.
He Zhinan asked Han Su what she said when she was drunk last night. Han Su said she said everything, including that she wanted to break up with Gao Peng. Han Su told her to think carefully about breaking up. She said He Zhinan could stay here as long as she wanted, with food and accommodation included. Xin Jie called Sun Hanhan to her office. She asked Sun Hanhan how she had offended Manager Li.
He was just being very critical of Sun Hanhan and wanted to fire her several times. Xin Jie said she treated Sun Hanhan like her own sister, and she had smoothed things over for her several times regarding work matters. Sun Hanhan thought for a moment and told Xin Jie that she should still resign. Xin Jie asked her what was wrong. Sun Hanhan said she knew this would happen sooner or later.
She said her previous boyfriend was called Zhou Bin. After she finished speaking, Xin Jie knew what was going on. As soon as Sun Hanhan resigned, she went to Hong Kong to find He Zhinan. She moved into Gao Peng's house. Sun Hanhan asked He Zhinan if Gao Peng wouldn't come back. He Zhinan said as soon as he heard Sun Hanhan was coming, he actively and quickly moved out.
Sun Hanhan said maybe she should stay in a hotel instead. He Zhinan said Gao Peng moving out was like a huge relief for him. She said if she wanted to go back, Gao Peng would immediately book a plane ticket for her. He Zhinan said Gao Peng's personality was such that he wouldn't say break up, but he would guide He Zhinan to say it. Sun Hanhan told her not to say it then.
He Zhinan told her their current relationship was like a car that had run out of gas, too lazy to find a gas station. Continuing like this was meaningless. He Zhinan told Sun Hanhan she would take her to meet Han Su. Sun Hanhan said she had always heard her talk about Han Su and should go meet her quickly. He Zhinan told her Han Su was Qu Yipeng's ex-boyfriend. Sun Hanhan was very surprised.
A few of them were playing truth or dare at the bar. He Zhinan dared Han Su to add the WeChat of the guy at the bar counter. Han Su went but was too embarrassed to add him. Unexpectedly, that guy came over and added Han Su himself. He said his name was Luo Ma. Han Su also introduced herself. During Sun Hanhan's truth turn, she said Zhou Bin was a scumbag.
As soon as Han Su heard Zhou Bin, she said she would take a picture as a souvenir. Han Su made an excuse that she had something to do and left. After she walked out, she sent the photo to Zeng Cheng to see if Sun Hanhan was alone. Just then, Luo Ma sent her a WeChat message. Han Su immediately deleted him. Luo Ma chased after her and asked why she deleted him.
Zhou Bin said he was going on a business trip to Hong Kong. Zeng Cheng received another call from Han Su, saying that what Sun Hanhan said didn't sound fake and that Zhou Bin was going to harass Sun Hanhan.
Episode 19 Recap
He Zhinan told Qiao Qiao, the parrot Gao Peng raised, that she was leaving and had packed her luggage. He Zhinan planned to send Gao Peng a WeChat message to break up, but she edited it many times and felt it was not suitable, and in the end, she didn't send it successfully. He Zhinan called Han Su and said she was leaving. She said she and Sun Hanhan were waiting for her near her law firm.
Han Su said she was too busy with work today and might not be able to get away. She said she would be going back to Jiangzhou in a few days and would contact her immediately then. He Zhinan said that was fine. Sun Hanhan was taking pictures with Andy. After Han Su and Gao Peng finished work, they went out for some air.
Han Su asked Gao Peng if He Zhinan was leaving tomorrow and if he wasn't going to see her off. Han Su also asked when He Zhinan would come back next time. Gao Peng said she might not come back. Gao Peng said the two of them were like rodents. Han Su was a little curious. Gao Peng said squirrels. Han Su thought that was quite cute.
But Gao Peng said that neither of them wanted to grow up and both enjoyed the feeling of keeping each other warm. And neither of them could bear to say break up. Han Su didn't say anything after hearing him talk like that. When He Zhinan was about to leave the next day, she sent Gao Peng a text message saying she was leaving and wished him well. Unexpectedly, Gao Peng came.
When He Zhinan saw him, she ran over and hugged him. He Zhinan cried and told Gao Peng they were breaking up. She said she was the one who brought it up first, which showed she was more mature. Gao Peng said sorry to He Zhinan. He Zhinan said there was nothing to be sorry about, asking if he was silly. Saying this, He Zhinan left. She told Gao Peng to take care. Gao Peng called out to her.
He Zhinan thought he was going to ask her to stay, but unexpectedly, Gao Peng said goodbye. He Zhinan cried and hugged Sun Hanhan. She said she had dumped a rich man, asking if she was amazing. Sun Hanhan hugged her and comforted her, saying she was very amazing. While the two of them were waiting for their flight, Sun Hanhan was reading a science fiction novel. He Zhinan asked her when she started reading this.
Sun Hanhan said Andy liked it. Andy happened to come over. He saw Sun Hanhan reading the book he liked. The two of them chatted happily together. Zhou Bin saw them from not far away. -------------------- After the three of them got off the plane, Andy said Zhou Bin had just gotten off too. He Zhinan asked him how he knew.
He said Lawyer Zhou had just posted on his Moments, and they were here for a conference in Hong Kong this time. As soon as Sun Hanhan heard Zhou Bin's name, she quickly made an excuse to go to the restroom. Not long after she walked away, she ran into Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin pulled Sun Hanhan and said he still loved her, and told Sun Hanhan to repay what she owed him with love.
Sun Hanhan shook him off, but Zhou Bin pursued her relentlessly. While the two of them were struggling, Andy came over. Zhou Bin shamelessly said Sun Hanhan was his girlfriend and they were having a spat. Sun Hanhan didn't explain and looked at Andy. Sure enough, Andy said he couldn't see her off anymore. Zhou Bin told Sun Hanhan that no man wouldn't mind, and said he would drive Sun Hanhan and He Zhinan.
He Zhinan immediately said they had a car. After returning home, He Zhinan ordered Sun Hanhan's favorite pizza and poured red wine for the two of them to drink. They comforted each other. Sun Hanhan said she would look for a new job and a new place tomorrow, and start a new life. Sun Hanhan came for an interview but didn't succeed.
Her senior told her that she had shown her resume to the company leader a few days ago, and the leader was very satisfied, so why didn't it work today? She asked Sun Hanhan if she had offended someone powerful. Sun Hanhan immediately knew it was Zhou Bin's doing. He Zhinan was sleeping when Han Su called her and told her to keep writing.
He Zhinan said that she and Sun Hanhan were just slacking off and she didn't want to think about that yet. He Zhinan received Gao Peng's call again and couldn't help but cry. She came alone to Kangding, the place where her love with Gao Peng began. He Zhinan felt that since their love started here, it should also end here. She planned to say goodbye to their seven-year relationship here.
Gao Peng brought a late-night snack to find Han Su. Han Su said Hong Kong even had Suzhou cuisine. Gao Peng said he dug three feet to find it. Han Su said she would go next time. Gao Peng said he would take her. Han Su didn't say anything. When Gao Peng took her back, he said that he and He Zhinan had broken up, and also said there was nothing between him and Emily. Han Su felt that he should say these things to He Zhinan.
Episode 20 Recap
Han Su was working when Lawyer Hu came over. Lawyer Hu wanted to talk to her. She asked Han Su if she had ever thought about going abroad for further studies, saying that if she did, she would definitely have better promotion opportunities. Han Su said she hadn't not thought about it, but she didn't have money now and was still using her old savings.
Lawyer Hu showed Han Su the ring she was wearing and told Han Su it would be even better if someone gave her one. She asked Han Su if Gao Peng was pursuing her, saying she had seen Gao Peng accompanying her at the printing factory these past few days. Han Su didn't say anything. Lawyer Hu told her to think about it, saying Gao Peng was very rich. Han Su told her Gao Peng wasn't her type.
As Han Su was getting ready for work, she received a text message from Gao Peng asking her to go to dinner with him. Han Su was about to reply but deleted it. In the end, she didn't reply to him. After getting off work, Han Su went to have dinner with Uncle Zhong. She told Uncle Zhong that someone was pursuing her recently. Uncle Zhong asked her if the person was handsome.
She asked Uncle Zhong why he didn't ask if the person was rich. Uncle Zhong said that since she said that, he must be very rich. Han Su said he was very rich, and perhaps many people who didn't like him would like him because of the money. Uncle Zhong told her to give him more of a chance, and maybe she would like him. Han Su said she wouldn't like him.
She asked Uncle Zhong what he would say if his daughter asked him the same thing. Uncle Zhong said he would tell them that he only liked who they liked. -------------------- He Zhinan and Sun Hanhan were drinking at a bar. Sun Hanhan asked her if she was planning to drink to drown her sorrows. He Zhinan said she was doing it to be happy. She planned to record all the jerk's actions and write an article.
Sun Hanhan said she couldn't find a job. At the time, Zeng Cheng said the company was fair and clear, but now she was blacklisting her. She felt Zeng Cheng was really hypocritical. Saying this, Sun Hanhan said she was going out to take a call. It was Zhou Bin calling her. He said he had something to talk to Sun Hanhan about. Sun Hanhan said she didn't want to see him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Bin appeared before her. Sun Hanhan asked him how he knew she was here. Zhou Bin said he saw Sun Hanhan's post on her Moments. Zhou Bin held a diamond ring and told Sun Hanhan he loved her, asking her to forgive him. Sun Hanhan didn't want to believe what he said anymore, but Zhou Bin said he would divorce Zeng Cheng. He said he would marry her when Sun Hanhan got pregnant.
Sun Hanhan asked him why he was still thinking about divorce when Zeng Cheng was undergoing IVF for him. Zhou Bin said the IVF failed. He guaranteed he would divorce in a year, or in half a year at the earliest. Sun Hanhan said she would forgive him one more time. She asked Zhou Bin if this ring was a token of promise. Zhou Bin said yes.
While He Zhinan was drinking, she heard a man saying that women's alcohol tolerance was too poor. He was talking to the bartender. He Zhinan heard him and decided to bet on drinking with that man. If he lost, he would have to apologize to all the girls. They were introduced to each other. Wang Zilu and He Zhinan's drinking bet landed them in the hospital.
He mumbled a sentence that He Zhinan heard, and it was the same as a personalized signature from one of her past online relationships. Han Su and Gao Peng finally resolved the company's matters. While Han Su was waiting for a taxi, Gao Peng arrived and offered to drive her. In the car, Gao Peng confessed his feelings to Han Su. Han Su closed her eyes and looked like she was asleep.
When they arrived at Han Su's place, Gao Peng parked the car nearby and waited for Han Su to sleep. After waking up, Han Su quickly got out of the car to find Gao Peng. Gao Peng asked her if she had heard what he said. Han Su nodded. Gao Peng asked her if she was pretending to be asleep to avoid his confession.
Han Su said that when she first heard it, she didn't know how to answer, but she really fell asleep later. Han Su said she and He Zhinan were good friends. Gao Peng told her not to rush to reject him. Sun Hanhan told He Zhinan that to get rid of Zhou Bin now, she had to find someone more powerful than him, and that person was Zeng Cheng. Sun Hanhan went to Zeng Cheng's company to find her.
She told Zeng Cheng that Zhou Bin had come looking for her again. Zeng Cheng initially thought she was trying to sow discord, until Sun Hanhan produced the recording of what Zhou Bin said when he went to find her, as well as the large diamond ring. Zeng Cheng burst into tears.
Episode 21 Recap
Han Su's boss Hu Muning was preparing to go to Jiangzhou and found out, so Han Su asked her to take her back with her. Hu Muning asked her if she didn't have better development opportunities in Hong Kong. Han Su said she came specifically for her, her good boss. Now that she was going to Jiangzhou, she naturally had to go too.
Hu Muning said just because of her complimentary words, she would take Han Su back to Jiangzhou with her. When Han Su finished packing everything and was ready to leave, Uncle Zhong came. He brought delicious pastries for Han Su. Han Su was very happy and reluctant to part when she saw Uncle Zhong. As soon as Han Su got off the plane, Zeng Cheng came to pick her up.
Han Su said actually she didn't need to pick her up. Zeng Cheng said she was in a hurry and had something to tell her. Zeng Cheng played the recording sent by Sun Hanhan for Han Su to listen to. Han Su thought Zhou Bin was really a scumbag. Zeng Cheng asked her if she knew what it felt like to have a basin of cold water poured on her in the dead of winter.
She felt chilled to the bone every time she listened to the recording now. Han Su asked her what she wanted to do now. Zeng Cheng said she was going to divorce him, and not only divorce him, but also make him lose everything. Han Su asked if she and Sun Hanhan were now considered comrades. Zeng Cheng said, what comrades? At most, they were using each other. She thought Sun Hanhan was quite smart and knew her temper.
By doing this, she not only got rid of Zhou Bin's entanglement but would also make Zeng Cheng thank her. Han Su called He Zhinan and said she was back. As soon as He Zhinan heard, she asked where she was and said she would go find her. Only when she arrived at the address Han Su told her did she realize it was right opposite her own home. Han Su said she had lived here before.
After coming back, she found information through an agent and lived here again. He Zhinan asked her, didn't Qu Yipeng also live here before, and didn't he still live here after she went to Hong Kong? Han Su said they should have known each other for a long time. He Zhinan and Han Su went to eat street food together. He Zhinan asked Han Su how Gao Peng was doing.
Han Su told her the work at the printing factory was quite busy, and Gao Peng had lost a bit of weight. He Zhinan asked her if Gao Peng had someone he liked, otherwise why isn't he proactively contacting you? Han Su was a little unsure how to answer. She said, "I don't know. " He Zhinan said Gao Peng was gentle, kind, and rich, and she just wanted to know what kind of girl he could like.
Han Su felt a little guilty hearing her say this. Luo Ma came to the law firm where Han Su worked as an intern. Han Su felt he looked so familiar. She remembered the boy whose WeChat she added while playing Truth or Dare at the bar. Luo Ma actively came to find Han Su. He told Han Su that he came here all for her. He asked Han Su if he could pursue her.
Han Su said she didn't need love at the moment. As long as it didn't disturb her work, it was Luo Ma's freedom to do whatever he wanted. Wang Zilu found He Zhinan and asked her to compensate him. He Zhinan asked him on what basis. Wang Zilu said she unlocked his phone while he was unconscious and paid the medical fees. He said this action was illegal. He asked He Zhinan to pay half of his medical fees.
He Zhinan refused, so Wang Zilu followed her all the way. He Zhinan couldn't stand it anymore and transferred the money to him. After returning home, the more He Zhinan thought about it, the more resentful she became. She felt she should figure out who he really was. She went to the bar where they made the bet that day and asked Rui about Wang Zilu.
Rui told her he was an arts student and had some influence on the Adou forum back then. When He Zhinan heard "Adou", she became even more eager to know who he was. She inquired about Wang Zilu's workplace and went to find him. Zeng Cheng arranged to meet Sun Hanhan. She introduced Sun Hanhan to Lawyer Wang and told Sun Hanhan to communicate anything she needed with her divorce lawyer, Lawyer Wang.
Sun Hanhan bought things and asked Zhou Bin to reimburse her. She told He Zhinan that this was a task her lawyer asked her to complete. Gao Peng also followed Han Su back to Jiangzhou. He took Han Su to eat delicious street food. Han Su asked him if he had contacted He Zhinan since returning. Gao Peng said he was afraid that if he saw He Zhinan, he wouldn't have the courage to see her anymore.
Han Su didn't say anything. He Zhinan posted Wang Zilu's phone number on various repair websites. Wang Zilu kept receiving calls. He Zhinan came to apply to be his writer. She found that Wang Zilu wasn't a bad person.
Episode 22 Recap
He Zhinan and Wang Zilu were eating crawfish together. Wang Zilu stared at the legs of a beautiful woman wearing shorts. He Zhinan said that his staring was impolite to others, but Wang Zilu said that the girl dressed that way wanted to be looked at. He said they were just in a relationship of appreciation and being appreciated. He Zhinan told him not to pretend that liking to look at beautiful women was art.
Wang Zilu said that if someone wanted to date him, waist-to-hip ratio was the standard, and he could tell at a glance. Just as he was talking, Wang Zilu received another call about repairing an air conditioner. He hung up and said why were there so many harassing calls. In fact, He Zhinan was the one behind this trick; Wang Zilu didn't know. He Zhinan muttered softly that it served him right for his big mouth.
When the two finished eating and were about to go back, they happened to see Han Su and Gao Peng getting out of a car together. He Zhinan immediately felt betrayed by the two of them. She asked Wang Zilu to pretend to be her boyfriend, and she went forward to greet Han Su and Gao Peng. He Zhinan introduced Gao Peng to Wang Zilu as her ex-boyfriend and Han Su as her good sister.
She asked Wang Zilu if he thought the two of them were a good match. Wang Zilu shook off her hand. He asked He Zhinan if she thought she could turn the tables by asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend, and what business was it of hers who her ex-boyfriend was with. He Zhinan told him to shut up, but Wang Zilu kept talking. He Zhinan felt very embarrassed and ran away. Wang Zilu quickly chased after her.
He said he would buy He Zhinan a drink. He Zhinan agreed. Wang Zilu asked her why she couldn't just wish them well, they looked very compatible. He Zhinan said she was just very sad, did she not even have the right to be sad, and she started drinking. Wang Zilu just watched her drink. Finally, He Zhinan drank herself unconscious, and Wang Zilu carried her back.
When He Zhinan woke up, she found all her clothes were changed, but she couldn't remember what happened last night at all. He Zhinan quickly went to find Wang Zilu. She asked Wang Zilu what happened between the two of them yesterday. Wang Zilu said he wanted to leave but He Zhinan invited him, or plainly speaking, forced him. He Zhinan felt very awkward listening, but Wang Zilu said he had principles and nothing happened between them.
Wang Zilu stayed with her until past two o'clock. Seeing that she was fine, he left. He Zhinan thanked him. Wang Zilu said there was nothing to thank him for, he wouldn't touch someone he didn't like. He Zhinan was about to leave. Wang Zilu said he read her articles and they were not bad. He invited He Zhinan to his studio to write popular articles. He Zhinan said she would give it a try.
Han Su kept calling He Zhinan, but she didn't answer. Han Su sent her a voice message saying she wanted to talk to He Zhinan in person, but He Zhinan also ignored her. Han Su quickly returned to the residential area and happened to run into He Zhinan. She told He Zhinan to listen to her explanation.
He Zhinan said that the matter between her and Gao Peng had nothing to do with her and there was no need to explain it to her. Han Su said she was her best friend. He Zhinan became even more angry when she heard this.
She said she had heard a saying before, that friends made after the age of twenty-five were like cheap earrings in a shopping mall, you take them out and wear them when you're happy, and you don't feel sorry throwing them away when you're unhappy. After saying that, He Zhinan left without listening to anything Han Su said. Han Su also left feeling helpless. Zeng Cheng's lawyer, Lawyer Wang, found Sun Hanhan.
Sun Hanhan handed over all the evidence she had collected to Lawyer Wang. Lawyer Wang told Sun Hanhan that Zhou Bin would definitely retaliate against her when he found out about this, and she asked Sun Hanhan to pay attention to her personal safety. As soon as Zhou Bin returned home, he saw Zeng Cheng surrounded by luxury goods he had bought for Sun Hanhan, and there was also a recording of his promises to Sun Hanhan.
He asked Zeng Cheng what this meant. Zeng Cheng took out a divorce agreement and asked him to sign it. She told Zhou Bin that he wouldn't get a single cent. Zhou Bin asked her on what grounds and said he wouldn't sign. Zeng Cheng then found Sun Hanhan again. She taught Sun Hanhan how to legally collect evidence. Later, Zhou Bin found out and came to Sun Hanhan. He not only hit Sun Hanhan but also molested her.
Everything was just as Zeng Cheng had said. Luckily, Sun Hanhan had installed surveillance in the room earlier and recorded everything. After Zhou Bin left, Sun Hanhan called the police.
Episode 23 Recap
Zhou Bin was detained for three days for hitting someone. Lawyer Wang asked Zeng Cheng to go to the police station to obtain the statement, which might be helpful to them. Zeng Cheng told Lawyer Wang that it was not necessary. She wanted Sun Hanhan to testify for them in court. Lawyer Wang said it was not necessary to be so troublesome. Zeng Cheng said she wanted to see Sun Hanhan's repentance with her own eyes.
Zeng Cheng found Sun Hanhan and told her to testify in court. Sun Hanhan said she did nothing wrong. And when she was with Zhou Bin, he was divorced, and she was also deceived. Zeng Cheng said she knew Zhou Bin was deceiving both sides. She asked Sun Hanhan if she had thought about how Zhou Bin would treat her after he got out in three days.
Zeng Cheng told Sun Hanhan that as long as she testified in court, she could destroy Zhou Bin's career. By then, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself in Jiangzhou, let alone trouble Sun Hanhan. Sun Hanhan asked if she was willing to help her. Zeng Cheng told her that those who make mistakes should pay the price. Gao Peng came to see Han Su again.
He thought it wasn't a bad thing for He Zhinan to have run into them. This way, the paper window separating them was also broken, and Gao Peng confessed to Han Su again. Just when Han Su didn't know how to answer, Luo Ma knocked on the door and told Han Su that Lawyer Hu was looking for her. Actually, Lawyer Hu was not looking for her. Luo Ma didn't want to see Gao Peng coming to see Han Su.
He told Han Su that Gao Peng was not suitable for her, and said that he liked her. Han Su said she didn't want to be in a relationship right now. As she was speaking, Lawyer Hu made a call. Lawyer Hu gave her a contract and asked Han Su if Gao Peng was pursuing her. Han Su said she had no expectations for love now, only work. Lawyer Hu said many women gave up conquering the world for love.
Han Su said she wanted to conquer the world. Lawyer Hu asked her if she would be willing to take an exam for a pass that could bring her top resources. Han Su said she certainly would. Lawyer Hu asked her what if the issuer was Gao Peng. Han Su fell silent. Sun Hanhan told He Zhinan about Zeng Cheng looking for her. He Zhinan said she would ask Han Su if she could help her.
He Zhinan told Sun Hanhan that Han Su was Zeng Cheng's cousin. Sun Hanhan asked if she was the Lawyer Han from Hong Kong. He Zhinan said she also found out recently. She was too embarrassed to call Han Su because of the Gao Peng matter. After some internal struggle, He Zhinan called Han Su and told her about Sun Hanhan. Han Su agreed to help her, but she didn't know what the outcome would be.
He Zhinan called Han Su and said she would go to her place for dinner in the evening. She had already ordered hot pot takeout with her favorite dishes. Han Su went home happily after work. During dinner, Han Su told Sun Hanhan that Zeng Cheng asked her to convey a message to her. Zeng Cheng felt that Sun Hanhan was more suitable to be punished. He Zhinan comforted her saying if we make a mistake, we admit it.
Sun Hanhan asked Han Su to tell Zeng Cheng that they would see each other in court. She said she thought Han Su would hate her and wouldn't help her. Han Su said how could she hate her. Moreover, she didn't want to see her sister sad, so she was actually helping her sister. Just as Han Su was about to talk to He Zhinan about Gao Peng, He Zhinan said she believed her.
The two reconciled, and the three of them became good friends. He Zhinan showed Wang Zilu the "Little Darling" articles she wrote, but Wang Zilu was not very satisfied. He Zhinan stayed up all night at home revising them and was very satisfied with what she had written this time. He Zhinan was preparing to go see Wang Zilu. Just as she reached the studio entrance, she encountered someone outside collecting rent.
The door was locked and no one was inside. Just as He Zhinan was about to call Wang Zilu, she was pulled away by Wang Zilu. Wang Zilu told her that he was broke now and unfortunately had been fired by his boss. He Zhinan said she felt very happy writing "Little Darling" this time, as she had found something she wanted to do. He Zhinan decided to take out all her savings, thirty thousand, to save "Little Darling".
She planned to invest in Wang Zilu's studio. Wang Zilu was very happy about her joining. Just as Zhou Bin got out of prison, Zeng Cheng found him. Zeng Cheng gave him a court summons. Their divorce case would open next week. Zhou Bin asked her if she wanted to destroy his career. Zeng Cheng said she was just taking back what she had given him before.
Episode 24 Recap
He Zhinan's "Little Darling" became very popular, and their studio welcomed many customers buying their dolls. Chen Shishi came over radiant with happiness to see He Zhinan. He Zhinan asked her why she came. Chen Shishi said she saw He Zhinan's Moments post and came to check it out. He Zhinan asked her what good news made her so happy. Chen Shishi said she was getting married. He Zhinan happily asked who her true love was.
When she turned around and saw it was Qu Yipeng, her smile instantly vanished. Chen Shishi said they didn't talk much when he used to come to the company. She never expected to run into him after crossing half the earth. He Zhinan asked her what she meant. Chen Shishi said they met in Tahiti. He Zhinan understood immediately. Han Su, who was helping He Zhinan, also saw Qu Yipeng. The two just looked at each other.
Qu Yipeng kept looking at Han Su as he left. Chen Shishi and Qu Yipeng got into the car. Chen Shishi asked Qu Yipeng if their meeting in Tahiti wasn't a coincidence. She said she brought him to see He Zhinan on purpose today. Qu Yipeng said he and He Zhinan were really over. Chen Shishi asked about before He Zhinan. Qu Yipeng asked if she was going to check three generations.
Chen Shishi said he knew, her parents check three generations for a manager, let alone a son-in-law. She said it's better if Qu Yipeng said it himself than if it was found out. Qu Yipeng looked a bit nervous. Chen Shishi suddenly laughed. She asked Qu Yipeng why he was so nervous and told him to hurry home, as her parents were waiting for them for dinner. Han Su had work matters to attend to and needed to leave.
As she left, she told Wang Zilu to protect He Zhinan well. Although He Zhinan seemed carefree, she was actually very sensitive, and Han Su told him not to let her drink at night. Wang Zilu and He Zhinan had dinner together. He asked He Zhinan to have a drink. He Zhinan said she wouldn't drink. She felt nothing when she saw Qu Yipeng this time, even though she liked him so much before.
He Zhinan used to think she was an animal of love, but now that love was gone, she felt it didn't matter anymore. Qu Yipeng watched Han Su go back up from downstairs. Just as Han Su reached her door, she found a letter. She opened it and saw it was from Qu Yipeng. Qu Yipeng said he had a lot to say to her but didn't have the courage to see her.
In the letter, he said they had been poor, suffered hardship, but he had never been as humble as he was now. He said he was very happy to see Han Su living confidently and brightly. Qu Yipeng was completely disrespected at Chen Shishi's home; when he went out to buy things, he was the driver and also carried things.
Even when eating snail noodles at home, the cleaning lady would tell him to quickly put it away because the young lady wouldn't be happy smelling it. Han Su told He Zhinan that she felt a lot of emotion when she saw the letter, but all of this was Qu Yipeng's own choice. He Zhinan said she was just an ordinary person. Before, she didn't think so.
But now she felt she wasn't pretty, very ordinary, and would be invisible in a crowd. She felt Gao Peng was ordinary before, but later when he became rich, he was no longer ordinary. And she was still ordinary, so she wasn't worthy of him anymore. Han Su told her that their problem wasn't like that, and He Zhinan wasn't ordinary at all. Han Su liked her very much. Han Su told He Zhinan to learn to like herself.
He Zhinan asked her if she liked herself. Han Su said it was a bit difficult, sometimes she even disliked herself. They laughed and agreed to like each other and discover each other's strengths. Han Su planned to go back to her hometown in Suzhou for a trip. Gao Peng found out and came to invite Han Su to dinner. After dinner, Gao Peng saw Han Su downstairs.
He asked Han Su if she wouldn't invite him up for a cup of tea. Han Su refused, saying she had work to do. As soon as she reached the elevator entrance, she saw Luo Ma sitting on the ground waiting for her. She asked Luo Ma why he was there. Luo Ma handed her a document.
Han Su saw it was what she needed and was lucky Luo Ma brought it; otherwise, she would have had to go back to the company late at night. Han Su asked Luo Ma if he wanted to come up for a cup of tea. Luo Ma helped Han Su finish her work together. Gao Peng insisted on taking Han Su home (later). When they arrived downstairs, Han Su felt it would be awkward not to let him up.
After dinner, Han Su saw Gao Peng off. She said she was exhausted. Han Su's mother said she looked tired too. Why did she bring someone she didn't like home? Han Su said she thought her mother would like him. Her mother said she did like him, but Han Su needed to like him too.
Episode 25 Recap
Han Su's mother told her that the reason she called her back so urgently this time was because she was getting married. Han Su was very happy, saying she had always supported her mother remarrying. She asked what kind of person he was. Her mother said he was just an ordinary person. She hadn't told her before because she was afraid Han Su wouldn't like him.
Han Su told her that she was the same as her; she would like whoever her mother liked. Han Su's mother said she was actually remarrying her father. Han Su was a bit stunned. She asked her mother, "Didn't Dad leave and go live with someone else? " Her mother said it was a big misunderstanding before. Her father lost money in business and said that out of fear that others would trouble them, the mother and daughter.
Before, he came back to explain himself, but she didn't listen. Han Su asked if she had a photo. Her mother took out a photo for her to see and told her this person was Qin Zhiwei. Han Su asked her, "Then who is Sun Xu? " Her mother hadn't recalled who that was. Han Su told her about the photo she found in the cabinet. Han Su's mother said it was before her father.
Her maternal grandfather introduced her to someone named Sun Xu. They dated for a while and found they weren't compatible. Later, she heard he went to Hong Kong for development. When Han Su heard this, she felt the sky had fallen. She rushed back to Jiangzhou by car overnight. On the way back, Han Su felt that all her years of effort were a joke.
She originally thought Sun Xu was her father, and all her efforts were to get closer to him. The next morning, Gao Peng came downstairs to Han Su's home in Suzhou and called her to ask her out. Han Su said she had rushed back to Jiangzhou overnight. Gao Peng heard that her tone was not right. He immediately drove back to Jiangzhou.
Han Su woke up and sent a message to Lawyer Hu asking if she could take her annual leave. Her tightly wound nerves relaxed, and she wanted to rest. Gao Peng came downstairs to her home, wanting to see her. Han Su thought about it and said, "Let's meet. " The atmosphere was a bit awkward when the two of them ate. Han Su broke the awkward silence and asked Gao Peng, "Is it okay if we are friends?
" Gao Peng knew this was Han Su rejecting him. Han Su said it was her problem; she was a selfish person. She had always been afraid of losing Gao Peng as a valuable client, so she didn't say anything. Actually, she should have told Gao Peng when she came back. Gao Peng told her it wasn't her problem, but his own problem.
He knew he wasn't a very good person; besides being rich, which might make people like him, he had nothing else. The two of them had a heart-to-heart talk. Gao Peng asked Han Su to continue being his lawyer. Wang Zilu was very sad because of the departure of his partner. He Zhinan came to bring him food. She told Wang Zilu that she planned to sell her house to increase investment.
She told Wang Zilu not to sell his limited edition figures. Wang Zilu disagreed with her selling the house. He said he would sell his figures for better development. Han Su and He Zhinan lay together. Han Su said she had taken all her annual leave at once. She felt very tired now, something she had never felt before. She had been running from sixteen to twenty-eight, and now she wanted to stop and find a different way of living.
He Zhinan asked her what kind of way. Han Su said, "I don't know, let's try. " He Zhinan and their new dolls were launched and received many likes. He Zhinan looked at Wang Zilu behind her and found him more and more attractive the more she looked. She reminded herself not to be a fangirl and to focus on her career. But she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Wang Zilu.
Their eyes met, and He Zhinan quickly turned her head away. Wang Zilu walked behind He Zhinan. He Zhinan nervously quickly stood up and said she was going to buy wine to celebrate. When buying wine, she didn't forget to look at condoms, but in the end, she didn't buy them. That night, Wang Zilu took He Zhinan back home. Wang Zilu accidentally dropped his condom, and He Zhinan saw it.
She felt that all men were the same, vulgar and scummy. Wang Zilu's other partner, Liu Fu, asked him if he really didn't regret giving up on He Zhinan. Wang Zilu said he was afraid of bearing someone's disappointment again. He Zhinan was sleeping when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Gao Peng had come with the "sadness three-piece set". He Zhinan also happened to be unhappy, so the two of them started eating together.
Episode 26 Recap
Gao Peng asked He Zhinan why she was sad, and He Zhinan asked him why he was. Had he argued with Han Su? Gao Peng said Han Su had rejected him. He Zhinan said Han Su rejecting him wasn't because of his problem, but because Han Su had other plans. He Zhinan asked him if her breaking up with him was her problem. Gao Peng said of course not.
He Zhinan said then that's it, it certainly wasn't Gao Peng's problem. The two of them chatted together and slowly became happy. When Gao Peng left, he told He Zhinan that he was going back to the botanical garden, and He Zhinan smiled at him. Luo Ma came to find Han Su. He asked Han Su what was wrong. Why had she become abnormal after returning home? He was worried about Han Su.
Luo Ma felt that Han Su taking such a long leave all at once was not like her style. He asked her if something had happened. He could accompany her, even for a lifetime. Han Su said a lifetime was very long and told him not to talk about a lifetime at such a young age. Luo Ma asked if Han Su was now willing to talk about matters of love with him. Han Su said she wanted to try.
Luo Ma was very happy. Han Su asked him if he wanted to stay for dinner. She said she would go out and play with him after dinner. The two of them came to an arcade. Han Su played the games inside, even looking for patterns. Luo Ma told her it was just a game and there was no need to be so serious about it. Han Su was accidentally injured while driving a go-kart.
Luo Ma quickly went to buy her medicine. Sun Hanhan called He Zhinan and said that tomorrow was the day of the court session. She was a bit nervous and asked if He Zhinan could come and keep her company. He Zhinan took Sun Hanhan out to eat and sing to relax. She said she would go with her tomorrow. Sun Hanhan said it was okay, she was a brave person.
When the court session began, Zhou Bin still tried to make things difficult for Sun Hanhan in court. Just as Zeng Cheng was about to ask Lawyer Wang to stop him, Sun Hanhan fought back. She said Zhou Bin asked how many times they had a relationship, wasn't he himself the clearest? Was he senile now? Sun Hanhan said this question asks how many times it happened, will the next question be about specific details?
She told Zhou Bin that if she answered seriously, it would probably be disadvantageous to him. Sun Hanhan said everyone else could say she was a third party, but only Zhou Bin had no right to do so. She said she was here to be a witness, not to be judged as a slut. Sun Hanhan felt that since she was sitting here, there were a few things she had to make clear.
Sun Hanhan said she was a mirror that exposed the reason for Zeng Cheng and Zhou Bin's divorce. She felt that Zhou Bin didn't love her, nor did he love Zeng Cheng; he only loved himself. Sun Hanhan told Zeng Cheng that she should actually thank her, because without her, Zeng Cheng would not have been able to see what kind of person Zhou Bin really was.
After the trial, Zeng Cheng turned her head to look at Zhou Bin, who didn't even have the courage to make eye contact with her. He Zhinan and Han Su comforted Sun Hanhan, saying that this matter had come to an end. Sun Hanhan said she planned to rest for a week and then go find a job. The three girls had different ideas. They sat on the swing, happily chatting about life.
As soon as He Zhinan walked into the studio, she saw Liu Fu packing things up. She asked Liu Fu what was going on. Liu Fu said the studio was out of money, and Wang Zilu planned to sell it. Wang Zilu was holding their newly launched doll, Little Sweetheart, and discussing selling the studio with a buyer when He Zhinan arrived.
She told them that she was also one of the shareholders, and she did not agree to sell the studio. He Zhinan angrily took the contract and left. Wang Zilu chased after her all the way, explaining to her. He Zhinan asked him to persevere a little longer. Wang Zilu said persuading others to persevere was the simplest, easiest, and most useless thing. He Zhinan asked him what he meant, saying she had also invested her hard work.
He Zhinan cried and said she had liked him before but had never dared to say it. But now it seemed Wang Zilu was even more cowardly than her. He Zhinan returned home sadly. She opened the article she wrote about Little Sweetheart and looked at the negative reviews below. He Zhinan lay on the bed feeling sad again. After a while, she felt it was time for a change. He Zhinan got up, straightened her hair, and decided to find a new job.
Episode 27 (Ending) Recap
As soon as Han Su arrived at her doorstep, she saw her mother squatting downstairs. She walked over and asked her why she had come. Her mother said she had seen Han Su's mood wasn't quite right that night and thought she would come and see her. Han Su said she had been emotional that night, but she was better now. The mother and daughter went upstairs together.
Han Su's mother took out a lot of food for Han Su to eat. She told Han Su that her father had made it. Han Su was stunned for a moment. She said it had a familiar taste. It was the taste from her childhood, but she couldn't remember what he looked like at all.
Han Su's mother said her father felt he had owed them too much before, and he wanted to take good care of them, mother and daughter, from now on. After saying this, she greatly anticipated Han Su's reply. Han Su thought for a moment and told her mother that she hoped they would be well. Her mother was very happy and said everyone should be well.
As soon as Han Su returned to the office, she saw that people from headquarters had sent her many flowers, including some from Lawyer Sun Xu. Hu Muning came over and called Han Su. She was very happy that Han Su had achieved what she had today. Han Su said she also had to thank Hu Muning's words for helping her understand her true feelings. Hu Muning asked her if Gao Peng had proposed to her.
Han Su smiled and shook her head. She said she had rejected Gao Peng. Luo Ma said he would take Han Su somewhere at noon. Han Su said her younger brother was quite skilled. Luo Ma took Han Su to a wedding dress shop. He told her it was opened by his friend. There was an event today, and he wanted Han Su to try them on. If there was a suitable one, he would buy it for her.
Han Su told him not to joke. A wedding dress here cost at least over a hundred thousand yuan. Buying such an expensive wedding dress just to wear for a short time wasn't worth it. She said Luo Ma wasn't a millionaire. Luo Ma said although he wasn't, he was willing to spend all his money to buy this for her. Han Su said, "Then his bride would follow him and starve in the future.
" Luo Ma said he thought Han Su would like it. Han Su told him there would definitely be girls who would be happy because of that sentence, but she wasn't that girl. After she finished speaking, Han Su's phone rang. Hu Muning told her she was needed for an urgent case. After listening, Han Su immediately went home with Luo Ma. Upon returning home, Luo Ma asked Han Su what their relationship actually was.
Han Su said she was pressed for time now and had no time to talk about this. She asked Luo Ma to go back first. As Luo Ma walked to the door, he sent Han Su a message saying he was leaving. Although Han Su was a bit uncomfortable, she naturally threw herself wholeheartedly into work. After work was finished, Han Su wanted to text Luo Ma, but she didn't know what to say.
She called He Zhinan to ask for her opinion. He Zhinan said it would be better for her to explain clearly, and she felt Luo Ma was not suitable for Han Su. Zeng Cheng found Sun Hanhan. She told Sun Hanhan that the court's judgment was coming down soon. Zhou Bin had also left Jiangzhou and gone to Shenzhen to develop. She said Zhou Bin would make a comeback because he only cared about himself.
Sun Hanhan told her that no matter how he was, it had nothing to do with them anymore. Zeng Cheng took out the resume for a company Sun Hanhan had interviewed with. She told Sun Hanhan that this company would be acquired by them soon, and then they would be working together again. She asked Sun Hanhan if she wanted to go to Shanghai. They had a branch there.
Zeng Cheng felt Sun Hanhan was capable, and she wanted her to be in charge of the Shanghai branch. Han Su's father made her many dishes. She asked He Zhinan and Sun Hanhan to come and eat. Han Su said she was going to New York for further study. He Zhinan said Sun Hanhan was going to Shanghai, and Han Su was going to New York, leaving her alone.
He Zhinan came to Wang Zilu's studio and found it had already been transferred. Wang Zilu paid her back thirty thousand yuan. He Zhinan was cooking at home. The new tenant opposite her came to give her some fruit and said he was going to renovate and was afraid it would bother He Zhinan. Sun Hanhan called He Zhinan and asked her to go to the location she sent. He Zhinan thought Sun Hanhan was inviting her out.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she found it was Wang Zilu. Wang Zilu confessed his feelings to her, and they got together. He Zhinan sent both Han Su and Sun Hanhan off within one day. She and Wang Zilu watched the sunset by the river.
