Episode 1 Recap

Zhou Fang and Wang Zeyang were a couple who had been in love for five years. They were about to enter the sacred hall of marriage and were taking wedding photos by the sea when Wang Zeyang's phone suddenly rang. Wang Zeyang looked at the screen, and his expression changed slightly, but he only explained to Zhou Fang that Xiao Zhang from the company needed to discuss a contract with him.

Zhou Fang did not doubt him and told Wang Zeyang to go deal with company matters first, pausing the wedding photoshoot. Wang Zeyang went to a secluded spot to answer the call. It turned out that Wang Zeyang was cheating on her; he had not only deceived Zhou Fang but also another girl, Peipei. Peipei claimed to Zhou Fang that she was Wang Zeyang's girlfriend and then asked who Zhou Fang was.

Zhou Fang could not believe what was happening before her eyes. She took Wang Zeyang's phone, confirmed his infidelity, slapped him, and ran away. Zhou Fang was walking aimlessly on the road when a motorcycle approached her. Zhou Fang was heartbroken over Wang Zeyang, and facing the oncoming motorcycle, she did not evade. The motorcyclist could not avoid her in time, and the wheel ran over Zhou Fang's wedding dress. Both of them fell by the roadside.

Zhou Fang struggled to get up, and seeing that the rider was lying motionless on the ground, she quickly went to check on him. The owner of the motorcycle was Song Lin, the boss of Wanfeng Group. Song Lin and Zhou Fang blamed each other; one blamed Zhou Fang for wandering around on the road in a wedding dress, and the other blamed Song Lin for not slowing down on a curve.

After a few arguments, Song Lin did not want to argue with Zhou Fang anymore and asked her to help him push the damaged motorcycle back. To thank Zhou Fang for helping him push the bike, Song Lin invited Zhou Fang to dinner. Zhou Fang drank too much at the dinner table and kept complaining to the stranger in front of her.

Song Lin was a bit helpless and could not leave the drunk Zhou Fang to wander alone outside, so he could only take her to the only hotel in town. However, there was only one room left in the hotel, so Song Lin had to carry Zhou Fang to the bed while he himself slept in the dressing room for the night. Zhou Fang did not return all night, so Wang Zeyang called the police, reporting her missing.

The next morning, just as Zhou Fang and Song Lin left the hotel, the police investigating Zhou Fang's disappearance traced them to the hotel. After learning that Zhou Fang had just left, the police quickly caught up with Song Lin's car. The police took them both back to the police station. Wang Zeyang also rushed to the police station and shamelessly clung to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang gave Wang Zeyang a cold shoulder.

After the misunderstanding was finally cleared, Zhou Fang and others came out of the police station. Zhou Fang's good friend Qin Qing arrived at the police station entrance. As soon as Qin Qing saw Wang Zeyang, she rushed forward and severely beat him. After Wang Zeyang was beaten away, Qin Qing recognized Song Lin, but Song Lin refused to admit it.

Zhou Fang wanted to return the clothes and money to Song Lin, but he refused them, handed his own clothes to Zhou Fang, and left without a word. Qin Qing took the heartbroken Zhou Fang to a bar to relax and even tried to freeload in someone else's private room. Just as the two were suspected of being there to freeload, Zuo Yulin suddenly spoke up to help them out, saying that he knew Qin Qing.

Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin thus became acquainted. After a while, Zhou Fang drank too much and wanted to go home, so Qin Qing asked Zuo Yulin to send them back. Zuo Yulin did not refuse and called a designated driver. In the car, Qin Qing thought Zuo Yulin saying he knew her was a pickup line, but Zuo Yulin very seriously said he really did know Qin Qing.

Zhou Fang also thought Zuo Yulin was talking nonsense and drunkenly asked the designated driver to take her back to her company. When Zhou Fang arrived at the company, it was a mess, as if it had been ransacked. Zhou Fang felt something was wrong and wanted to call Wang Zeyang to clarify, but Wang Zeyang did not answer. After Zhou Fang returned home, she found her house also turned upside down. Zuo Yulin sent Qin Qing home.

As soon as Qin Qing opened the door, her cat Keke ran out of the house. Qin Qing quickly asked Zuo Yulin to help her stop Keke. Zuo Yulin helped Qin Qing catch the cat, and using this opportunity, he chatted with Qin Qing for a few more minutes, learning that Qin Qing was a jewelry designer and also getting her phone number. Song Lin's Wanfeng Group's products were light luxury women's clothing.

Song Lin was unwilling to abandon his positioning in pursuit of the market. Moreover, recently there had been other companies copying Wanfeng Group's products. Song Lin attached great importance to protecting the works of his company's designers, so he instructed his subordinates to find the source of the plagiarism. Wang Zeyang embezzled the company's money. The company's landlord also came to urge Zhou Fang to pay the rent.

Zhou Fang, disheartened, disbanded the company's employees, but Shao Kai from the technical department, designer Tang Jie, and intern Youyou said that they were willing to stay with the company and stand by Zhou Fang. Seeing that she still had supporters, Zhou Fang felt much more re-energized. Qin Qing helped Zhou Fang find Shen Di for a consultation.

However, Shen Di said that Zhou Fang was the legal representative of the company, and the money Wang Zeyang embezzled was validated by her signature. Therefore, from a legal perspective, Wang Zeyang had no issues, and even if they filed a lawsuit, their chances of winning were slim.

Episode 2 Recap

Lawyer Shen told Qin Qing that everything Wang Zeyang did was not problematic on a legal level. Zhou Fang could only condemn him on a moral level, but a lawsuit would basically have no chance of winning. Lawyer Shen could only suggest that Zhou Fang conduct a systematic review at her company to see if there were any pending issues. On the way back, Qin Qing couldn't help but scold Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang became a bit annoyed.

Just then, Zhou Fang's mother called, asking Zhou Fang and Qin Qing to come home for dinner. Zhou Fang couldn't refuse, so she had to ask Qin Qing to change direction. After the two arrived home, Zhou Fang hesitated whether she should tell her parents about herself and Wang Zeyang. While Zhou Fang was still hesitating, Zhou Fang's parents asked why Wang Zeyang didn't come for dinner.

Zhou Fang prevaricated a few sentences, then secretly kicked Qin Qing under the table, wanting her to help her speak up. Zhou Fang's mother noticed that something was off with the two of them and asked what they had to say. Reluctantly, the two of them had to tell Zhou Fang's mother that Zhou Fang and Wang Zeyang had broken up, and Wang Zeyang had also run away with the money.

Song Lin asked his subordinate Chen Chen to find a way to sneak into the factory producing counterfeit products to obtain evidence. After Chen Chen agreed, he went out and met Zuo Yulin. It turned out that Zuo Yulin was an intern in the marketing department of Wanfeng Group. Chen Chen then asked Zuo Yulin to disguise themselves and sneak into the factory together. The two were beaten up, but finally obtained the evidence from the factory.

This factory was the clothing factory cooperating with Zhou Fang, and that batch of counterfeit products was also related to Wang Zeyang. When Zhou Fang arrived at the company, she wanted to hold a meeting with Shao Kai and others. Just as she started, a delivery person handed Zhou Fang a document. Zhou Fang opened it and found it was a lawyer's letter sent to her by Lawyer Shen. Zhou Fang quickly called Lawyer Shen to inquire.

Lawyer Shen explained helplessly, stating that he was only Song Lin's entrusted lawyer and could not decide whether to sue Zhou Fang. Qin Qing and Zhou Fang arranged to meet Lawyer Shen. Zhou Fang requested Lawyer Shen to arrange for her to meet Song Lin so that the two could negotiate face-to-face. Lawyer Shen, feeling helpless, could only call Song Lin.

When Zhou Fang saw Song Lin answer the phone, she realized that Song Lin was the person she had met by chance at the beach that day, so she quickly tried to get close to Song Lin, inviting him to meet and talk. However, Song Lin was very cold, only saying that he would consider it. Seeing Song Lin's cold attitude, Zhou Fang and Qin Qing waited downstairs at Wanfeng Group and stopped Song Lin.

Zhou Fang explained to Song Lin that the design draft was taken by her ex-boyfriend Wang Zeyang, but Wang Zeyang had now run away, so she didn't know what exactly happened. Furthermore, she was currently facing some financial difficulties, so she hoped Song Lin would not sue. Song Lin gave Zhou Fang two options: one was to proceed with legal procedures, and the other was to clearly explain how the design draft came about.

Zhou Fang was very helpless; investigating this matter was truly difficult for her. Seeing that Zhou Fang could not explain clearly, Song Lin believed that Zhou Fang was someone who copied others' designs and dared not take responsibility. Song Lin did not listen to Qin Qing's explanation and insisted on suing Zhou Fang. Female star Luna had a good relationship with Song Lin.

Song Lin regarded Luna as a partner, but Luna had been secretly in love with Song Lin for several years. Although Song Lin didn't like Luna now, Luna felt that over time, Song Lin would definitely change his mind and realize that she was the most suitable candidate for him to marry. Zhou Fang woke up from a nightmare and suddenly received a call from Director Wang of the clothing factory.

Director Wang told Zhou Fang that because of the lawsuit between Zhou Fang and Wanfeng Group, their factory could no longer continue with Zhou Fang's orders. Zhou Fang pleaded desperately, but Director Wang could not make that decision. Zhou Fang could only take back the fabric. Zhou Fang decided to use these remaining fabrics to make new products.

Zhou Fang took out the design drafts she had quietly made over the years and asked Tang Jie, who was originally a designer in the company, for her opinion. Tang Jie found Zhou Fang's designs very novel and suggested trying them according to Zhou Fang's ideas. Zhou Fang worked overnight to make sample clothes and sent them for Boss Qi to review. Boss Qi, however, felt the market risk was too high.

While the two were talking, Mrs. Qi suddenly threw a dress at Boss Qi with a complaint, unhappy with the designer Boss Qi found for her. Seeing that Mrs. Qi was troubled by the dress, Zhou Fang quickly handed over her design draft. Mrs. Qi was very satisfied with Zhou Fang's design draft and asked Zhou Fang to try designing a dress for her.

Seeing this, Boss Qi said that as long as Zhou Fang satisfied Mrs. Qi, he would buy Zhou Fang's newly designed clothes. Zhou Fang worked overnight at the company making Mrs. Qi's dress, and then received a court summons. The court ultimately ruled that Zhou Fang's company must compensate Wanfeng Group 1. 8 million yuan. Zhou Fang did not give up; for Boss Qi's order, she continued to rush the production of Mrs. Qi's dress.

The dress Zhou Fang made satisfied Mrs. Qi greatly. Qin Qing, to help Zhou Fang, also gave Mrs. Qi a wedding anniversary ring. Zuo Yulin fell in love with Qin Qing at first sight. He wanted to confess to Qin Qing but didn't know how to start. He hesitated at Qin Qing's doorstep for a long time, not daring to knock on the door, only daring to call Qin Qing.

Qin Qing lied to Zuo Yulin that she was drinking with handsome guys at a bar. As a result, as soon as she went out, she saw Zuo Yulin at her doorstep. Qin Qing was a bit embarrassed and asked Zuo Yulin what he wanted. Zuo Yulin plucked up the courage to confess to Qin Qing, saying that he wanted to pursue her. Qin Qing listened to Zuo Yulin's somewhat childish confession.

Although she said she found Zuo Yulin annoying, she arranged to meet him tomorrow. Song Lin's younger sister, Song Luo, was a rebellious teenager who defied Song Lin's discipline, not returning home at night and going to nightclubs to drink. Song Lin had no way to deal with his disobedient sister. Zhou Fang's nephew, Shen Di, transferred to Tanding Foreign Language Middle School, where Song Luo was, and became her deskmate.

Shen Di was a good student with excellent character and academics. Song Luo listening to music in class disturbed Shen Di, so Shen Di complained to the teacher. Inside Wanfeng Group, Chen Chen told Song Lin that Zhou Fang's compensation payment had arrived. Zhou Fang also had Chen Chen transfer another bank card to Song Lin, returning the money Song Lin had lent her previously. Chen Chen looked at Song Lin gossiping, wanting to know what history there was between Song Lin and Zhou Fang, but Song Lin said there was nothing between them.

Episode 3 Recap

At Tanding Foreign Language Middle School, Lin Xi, the study committee member in Shen Di's class, told Shen Di that Song Luo's parents had passed away when she was young. Song Luo had lived with her older brother Song Lin since she was little, which made her personality a bit strange. Lin Xi told Shen Di not to bother with Song Luo.

When Song Luo returned to the classroom and saw Lin Xi sitting in her seat, she kicked the desk, telling Lin Xi to quickly leave. Lin Xi had no choice with Song Luo and had to leave. Song Luo then aggressively told Shen Di to find the teacher and change seats soon. But Shen Di ignored Song Luo. Seeing Shen Di was so uncooperative, Song Luo wanted her friends from outside school to scare Shen Di.

However, Song Luo's friends ended up injuring Shen Di. Song Luo's teacher, Teacher Xu, seeing that a fight had occurred, quickly summoned Song Luo's and Shen Di's parents to the school. Shen Di's parents are both abroad and had entrusted Zhou Fang's family to look after Shen Di. Zhou Fang rushed to the school. Seeing Shen Di was injured, she immediately started scolding Song Luo out of anxiety.

She also said that Song Luo had not been raised well by her parents and asked Song Luo to give her parents' contact information. At this moment, Song Luo's older brother, Song Lin, also arrived at the school. Hearing Zhou Fang's words, Song Lin said that their parents had already passed away. Zhou Fang felt a bit awkward, but was also a little surprised to see Song Lin here. Song Lin learned the full story from Teacher Xu.

Knowing it was Song Luo's fault, he told Song Luo to apologize to Shen Di. Song Luo was rebellious against Song Lin's discipline and turned around and left the office. Seeing Song Luo had left, Zhou Fang was worried about Shen Di's hand injury, so she quickly took him to the infirmary to treat the wound.

As Zhou Fang was about to leave the school after dealing with the matter, Song Lin called out to Zhou Fang and apologized to Zhou Fang on behalf of Song Luo. Zhou Fang remembered what she had just said in the office about Song Luo's parents and felt a bit guilty herself. She also proactively apologized to Song Lin. Song Lin didn't dwell on it.

He also took out the bank card Zhou Fang had given him and asked her what was going on. Zhou Fang explained that the money was what Song Lin had spent for her on the island that day. Zhou Fang felt that ever since she met Song Lin, there had been a lot of troubles, so she and Song Lin agreed not to bother each other anymore.

Before leaving, Zhou Fang told Song Lin not to be too strict with Song Luo, otherwise Song Luo would become rebellious, and also told Song Lin to look for reasons within himself more often. While Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were on a date together, they unintentionally saw Wang Zeyang discussing cooperation with a client, President Du. Qin Qing stopped President Du, saying that Wang Zeyang had deceived his partners, plagiarized design drafts, and harmed his fiancée.

Wang Zeyang panicked a bit, telling Qin Qing not to talk nonsense. Qin Qing then said that she had a lot of evidence to sue Wang Zeyang. President Du saw the two arguing, felt a bit suspicious, and temporarily suspended the cooperation with Wang Zeyang. Wang Zeyang, seeing that he had lost a client, was so angry that he cursed Qin Qing as a shrew. Qin Qing's temper flared up, and she slapped Wang Zeyang.

As Wang Zeyang was about to hit back, Zuo Yulin promptly stepped in front of Qin Qing. Wang Zeyang was at a disadvantage and wanted to escape. Qin Qing quickly told Zuo Yulin to chase after him. Qin Qing was worried that Wang Zeyang would disappear again, so she and Zuo Yulin relentlessly pursued Wang Zeyang. Wang Zeyang had no choice and could only say that he wanted to meet with Zhou Fang to have a good talk.

Zhou Fang met Wang Zeyang. Remembering his plagiarism of the design drafts, she wanted to get information about the design draft leakage from him. But Wang Zeyang's mouth was too tight; she couldn't get anything out of him, so she had to invite Song Lin. Faced with Song Lin's questioning, Wang Zeyang still refused to speak. He also said he wanted to talk with Zhou Fang alone.

Song Lin then let Zhou Fang go in and turned on the recording on Zhou Fang's phone. As soon as Zhou Fang entered, Wang Zeyang knelt down in front of Zhou Fang, begging Zhou Fang to give him another chance. Wang Zeyang put on a remorseful act, saying that he only had good intentions to help Zhou Fang secure more funds.

Zhou Fang continued to extract information, asking Wang Zeyang to clarify the ins and outs of plagiarizing the April brand. But Wang Zeyang was worried that he would be retaliated against if he exposed those connections. After Zhou Fang finished talking with Wang Zeyang, she played the recording for Song Lin.

Song Lin decided that as long as Wang Zeyang was willing to cooperate, he could provide Wang Zeyang with a guarantee, and also asked Zhou Fang to send him the recording. That evening, at Song Lin's home, Song Luo and Song Lin were eating dinner together. Song Lin suddenly took out two music festival tickets and handed them to Song Luo, saying he wanted to take Song Luo to the music festival.

He also reflected to Song Luo about his previously harsh attitude towards her. Song Luo was a bit surprised by Song Lin's unusual behavior, but their relationship eased quite a bit. However, on the day of the music festival, Song Lin stood her up due to an urgent company matter. Song Luo was very disappointed by this, and their relationship, which had just barely eased, became tense again.

Zhou Fang's mother signed Zhou Fang up for a blind date event, telling Zhou Fang to attend the blind date event next weekend. Zhou Fang looked at her father, wanting him to speak up for her. But Zhou Fang's father also told Zhou Fang to be obedient and attend the blind date event.

Episode 4 Recap

After Song Lin finished dealing with company matters, he had just returned to the hotel when he received a call from the auntie at home. The auntie told Song Lin that Song Luo seemed to have not returned home all day. Song Lin was a bit worried, so he called Song Luo. Song Luo and her friends were out singing.

When Song Luo saw Song Lin calling her, she was about to answer, but Song Luo's friend took her phone, hung up the call, and even turned off Song Luo's phone. Song Lin couldn't contact Song Luo, so he sent Song Luo's location to Zhou Fang, asking her to help him find Song Luo. When Zhou Fang found Song Luo, Song Luo had already been so drunk that she lost consciousness and was almost taken away by a hooligan.

Fortunately, Zhou Fang arrived in time, rescued Song Luo, and had the hooligan apprehended. Only after Song Lin knew Song Luo was safe did he feel a little relieved, but he couldn't rush back for a while, so he had to ask Zhou Fang to help him take care of Song Luo. When Song Luo woke up, she saw Zhou Fang accompanying her in the hospital room. At this time, Song Lin also arrived at the hospital.

Song Lin, worried, started lecturing Song Luo. Song Luo did not want to pay attention to Song Lin's tough attitude. Song Lin became even angrier and wanted to ground Song Luo. Seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming increasingly tense, Zhou Fang quickly pulled Song Lin out of the room, asking him to calm down first. Zhou Fang was preparing to move her company.

Due to insufficient funds, Zhou Fang decided to move the company to a warehouse in the suburbs. Song Lin suddenly arrived, saying he wanted to treat Zhou Fang to a meal to thank her for helping Song Luo. Zhou Fang's mother suddenly called Zhou Fang, urging her to attend a blind date event. Zhou Fang was very bored at the blind date event, but Song Lin suddenly appeared.

Zhou Fang was a bit surprised, but to escape the blind date, she had no choice but to leave with Song Lin. After they left, they found a coffee shop and sat down to talk about Song Luo. Song Lin told Zhou Fang how he had stood Song Luo up and made her angry. Zhou Fang offered a few words of comfort.

Song Lin then told Zhou Fang that Song Luo hadn't eaten since returning home and wanted Zhou Fang to help him think of a solution. However, Zhou Fang asked Song Lin to thank her sincerely first before she would agree to help him. Song Lin, having no choice, sincerely thanked Zhou Fang. What they didn't expect was that their conversation was secretly photographed by a paparazzo nearby.

With Zhou Fang's help, the relationship between Song Luo and Song Lin eased, and unintentionally, Song Luo also developed a good impression of Zhou Fang. Not long after, photos of Zhou Fang and Song Lin were released by a paparazzo and became gossip news online, which caught Luna's attention. After Luna found out that Zhou Fang was a fashion designer, she had someone contact Zhou Fang. Luna asked Zhou Fang to design an evening gown for her.

Zhou Fang was a bit surprised; Luna was a popular celebrity, yet she suddenly approached an unknown designer like her to design a gown. Although Zhou Fang felt that something was amiss with this matter, she still agreed and took out her notebook to ask Luna about her requirements for the gown. After Zhou Fang returned to her company, she worked overnight to produce Luna's gown. After Qin Qing returned from her trip, she immediately went to find Zhou Fang.

Knowing that Zhou Fang had taken on Luna's order, Qin Qing immediately guessed that Luna was trying to gather information from Zhou Fang. Qin Qing unequivocally told Zhou Fang that Song Lin definitely had feelings for Zhou Fang. However, Zhou Fang couldn't believe it, and she felt that Song Lin already had Luna as a girlfriend, so even if he had feelings for her, she wouldn't pose a threat to Luna.

That evening, Song Lin thought that Song Luo's birthday was approaching, but he didn't know how to celebrate it for her, so he went to consult Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang agreed. Song Lin then asked if the news had affected Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang did not answer, but instead asked Song Lin if he liked her. Song Lin did not hesitate and directly told Zhou Fang that he liked her. Zhou Fang was a bit surprised.

Song Lin explained that he and Luna were not a couple, but Zhou Fang didn't believe him, only thinking that Song Lin was lying. After Song Luo rested at home for a few days, she got into trouble again shortly after returning to school. She graffiti-ed on the wall of the playground. The school security guard chased them into the classroom to find the culprit.

Shen Di intentionally tried to cover for Song Luo, so he picked up Song Luo's spray paint and lied to Teacher Xu, claiming he did it himself. However, Teacher Xu saw through Shen Di's lie at a glance. Teacher Xu called both of them to the office and scolded them, also telling Song Luo to call Song Lin to handle the matter. However, Song Luo called Zhou Fang instead.

Zhou Fang went to the school and pleaded with Teacher Xu for Song Luo for a long time before Teacher Xu finally let Song Luo off. Song Luo told Zhou Fang not to tell Song Lin about this. Song Lin had always wanted to create a meaningful online program about original design. He called Chen Chen, Zuo Yulin, and Wang He to a meeting to discuss what kind of program content to choose.

Zuo Yulin suggested bringing designers from behind the scenes to the forefront, and this idea gave Song Lin inspiration. To make the program popular, Song Lin decided to invite several celebrities to participate as contestants. Zhou Fang had finished making the evening gown for Luna. When she came to deliver the dress to Luna, she found Song Lin there as well.

Zhou Fang felt a bit awkward and was about to turn around and leave, but Song Lin called out to Zhou Fang, asking her to come in and wait. Soon after, Luna arrived and asked Zhou Fang to take out the gown for her to see. Luna took a couple of glances and, with great dissatisfaction, disparaged Zhou Fang's design.

Episode 5 Recap

The faults Luna picked were all the demands Luna had for the dress that day. Zhou Fang realized that Luna was deliberately making things difficult for her. Zhou Fang did not retort, but simply threw the dress on the ground and promised Luna that she would make a dress that satisfied her in ten days. Luna retorted by asking what Zhou Fang would do if she was still not satisfied after ten days.

Before Zhou Fang could think of a reply, Song Lin spoke up to help Zhou Fang out of the predicament. He said that if Luna was not satisfied then, he would personally design a dress for Luna. Although Zhou Fang knew that Luna was playing a trick on her, she felt a surge of anger and wanted to prove to Luna that she could design an excellent dress.

After Zhou Fang returned to the company, she began revising the design draft for Luna's dress. Song Lin suddenly arrived and, without explanation, pulled Zhou Fang out. He took Zhou Fang to the riverside to relax and let her vent her depressed emotions. Song Lin told Zhou Fang that he and Luna were just in a cooperative relationship. Zhou Fang didn't understand why Song Lin needed to explain this to her.

Song Lin did not continue this topic but instead brought up Zhou Fang's issues in design, wanting to give her some advice. Zhou Fang, however, retorted to Song Lin that while his theories were elaborate, his company's designs were outdated. Moreover, his company's website was also very backward, with a poor user experience. After Zhou Fang finished speaking, she left Song Lin and walked away. That night, Zhou Fang was still staying up late to revise the design draft.

Qin Qing saw how hard Zhou Fang was working and suggested that she should think carefully about how to develop herself in the future. She also proposed that Zhou Fang's designed clothing could be placed in Qin Qing's jewelry store for more people to see. Zhou Fang found Luna again and explained her relationship with Song Lin to her.

She asked Luna not to trick her again because of this baseless rumor, and she handed the re-made dress to Luna, saying that this dress was a thank you to Luna for teaching her a lesson. Song Luo showed Song Lin the paintings she had recently done. She also asked Song Lin to sign her up for a class, wanting to systematically study art. This would also help her get into an art university later.

Song Lin was somewhat surprised by Song Luo's sudden ambition. Song Luo also said that if Zhou Fang were there, she would definitely appreciate her. Song Luo also asked Song Lin if he liked Zhou Fang. Song Lin did not admit it. Wang He, Song Lin, and Zuo Yulin held a short meeting to discuss the specific preparations for the program's production. Wang He assigned Song Lin to be responsible for recruiting designer contestants, while he himself would contact artists.

Luna asked Song Lin out, saying she was willing to participate in the program Song Lin invested in. She also invited Song Lin to attend a dinner together, which could serve to clarify the rumors between Song Lin and Zhou Fang from some time ago. Song Lin did not agree. Luna was a bit angry and asked Song Lin if he was upset because she had played a trick on Zhou Fang.

Song Lin denied it, saying that he could not interfere with Luna's personal life, but he hoped Luna would not interfere with his. Luna became anxious and simply stated directly that Song Lin actually knew she was the most suitable marriage partner. But Song Lin retorted that the most suitable one is not necessarily the best. After saying this, Song Lin left and told Luna and Wang He to continue coordinating the program matters.

Luna did not give up because of Song Lin's coldness; she changed her strategy to approach Song Luo and curry favor with Song Luo. While Qin Qing was exercising at home, she suddenly heard movement outside the door. Qin Qing thought Zhou Fang had arrived, but after calling out a few times, there was no response. Qin Qing was a little scared, so she picked up two bottles and went out to check.

The tree outside the door had been decorated with colorful lights. It turned out that Zuo Yulin had prepared a surprise for Qin Qing, and Qin Qing felt a little sweet inside. Zhou Fang finally managed to go home to have dinner and chat with her parents. Zhou Fang's mother, however, kept urging Zhou Fang to date and get married. Zhou Fang was a bit troubled and could only keep deflecting.

Zhou Fang's mother suddenly saw Song Lin's interview on TV. Zhou Fang's mother recalled seeing Song Lin take Zhou Fang away at the blind date event that day, so she questioned Zhou Fang about her relationship with Song Lin. Zhou Fang didn't know how to explain. To seek peace and quiet, Zhou Fang wanted to move out of her parents' home with Shen Di. But school district housing in the city center was too expensive.

While Zhou Fang was having a headache over renting a place, a real estate agent suddenly called her. They said an owner was willing to rent out a property at half price, but required the tenant to pay the rent annually and would not refund it if they moved out midway. Zhou Fang gritted her teeth and rented the house.

After Zhou Fang's mother learned that Zhou Fang was moving out, she was a bit angry and scolded Zhou Fang at the dinner table. Zhou Fang quickly nudged Qin Qing, asking Qin Qing to speak up for her.

Episode 6 Recap

Qin Qing quickly explained that she had started dating recently, and it was a bit inconvenient for Zhou Fang to live with her. Moreover, Zhou Fang's parents' house was too far from Zhou Fang's company, so Zhou Fang wanted to move out. Zhou Fang's mother's attention, however, was focused on Qin Qing finding a boyfriend, and she shifted the topic to urging Zhou Fang to find a boyfriend.

Qin Qing comforted Zhou Fang's mother, saying that her love luck had been getting better and better since she moved out. Zhou Fang's mother was a bit helpless, but although she agreed to Zhou Fang moving out, she wanted Zhou Fang to tell her the address, and she would check up on her from time to time.

Since the news of Song Luo and Luna knowing each other became known to the students in the class, several students actively talked to Song Luo and asked Song Luo to help them get autographs. Song Luo agreed, and in the evening, Song Luo called Luna to ask her for autographs. While Song Luo was on the phone with Luna, she suddenly discovered that Zhou Fang had moved in across from her house.

Song Luo was a little surprised and, not bothering to talk to Luna any further, quickly called Zhou Fang to ask her how she had moved into her house. Zhou Fang was a bit confused, thinking she clearly lived across from Song Luo, how was it Song Luo's house? Song Luo explained that the apartment Zhou Fang was living in was also bought by Song Lin.

Zhou Fang was a little angry and ran to Song Lin's house to question him about what was going on. Zhou Fang felt that Song Lin had ulterior motives towards her, but Zhou Fang couldn't win an argument against Song Lin, nor could she get her rent back, so she could only go home in a fit of anger.

After Zhou Fang returned home, she found Song Lin watching her from the opposite balcony, so she wanted to close the curtains, but no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't close them. Song Lin then called Zhou Fang, saying that the curtains were electric. Zhou Fang looked for the remote control, but the remote control had no batteries. Song Lin then asked Zhou Fang to come to his place to get batteries.

Zhou Fang was furious and stubbornly closed the curtains manually. Song Lin found Zhou Fang's appearance a bit funny and told Song Luo, who was watching the fun from the side, to have less contact with Luna in the future. Zuo Yulin is allergic to cat hair. Just as he was about to kiss Qin Qing, Zuo Yulin was stimulated by the cat hair on Qin Qing's shoulder and started sneezing non-stop.

Qin Qing was a little disappointed and suddenly felt that she and Zuo Yulin were destined not to be together. The next day, Zuo Yulin handed the information of the participating designers to Song Lin and told Song Lin that Zhou Fang had also signed up for the designer competition, but Zhou Fang's brand had just been established and might not meet the entry standards.

Song Lin thought for a while and still instructed Zuo Yulin to conduct the selection according to the procedures. Shen Di and Song Luo's class were going on an outing, but Song Luo overslept and missed the school bus, so she pulled Song Lin up to take her there. Song Lin happened to meet Zhou Fang who came to deliver a telescope to Shen Di.

Song Lin wanted to take the opportunity to spend time with Zhou Fang, so he let Zhou Fang's taxi leave first. After Zhou Fang gave the telescope to Shen Di, she turned around and found that her taxi had already left. Knowing that Song Lin was behind it, Zhou Fang was a little angry and would rather walk than get into Song Lin's car. Song Lin hadn't driven far when his car ran out of gas.

Zhou Fang took the opportunity to mock Song Lin. After a few words of bickering, both of them were stubborn and strong, and neither would give in to the other. Zhou Fang couldn't get a taxi, so Song Lin sent the location to Chen Chen and asked Chen Chen to pick him up. While they were waiting for the car to come, it suddenly started raining in the mountains.

While they were sheltering from the rain, Song Lin was worried that Zhou Fang would catch a cold, so he put his clothes on Zhou Fang and took the opportunity to hug Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang suddenly received a text message, knowing that she had not passed the designer competition application, Zhou Fang was a little disappointed. Song Lin said that Zhou Fang's current strength was indeed not suitable for participating in this program.

Zhou Fang was a little angry, feeling that Song Lin was looking down on her. After the two returned, Song Lin had a fever because he had been caught in the rain, so Song Luo deliberately called Zhou Fang to take care of Song Lin, creating opportunities for the two to be together.

In order to be with Qin Qing, Zuo Yulin disregarded his allergy to cat hair and bought a membership card at a cat cafe, wanting to spend more time with cats, thinking that if he adapted more, he could cure his allergy. Seeing that Qin Qing had been in a bad mood these days, Zhou Fang guessed that there was a problem between her and Zuo Yulin, so she called Zuo Yulin to inquire about the situation. Zuo Yulin told Zhou Fang to rest assured that he would definitely be able to win Qin Qing over.

Episode 7 Recap

Zuo Yulin went to the cat cafe for several days in a row to spend time with the cats. Zuo Yulin thought he had made progress, but he still sneezed continuously when interacting with the cats. His allergy symptoms became increasingly severe, and he was even sent to the hospital. After Qin Qing learned that Zuo Yulin was hospitalized, she rushed to the hospital with Zhou Fang.

Qin Qing was a little angry at Zuo Yulin's nonsense, but Zuo Yulin pitifully said that he wanted to be Qin Qing's boyfriend, so he wanted to quickly build up immunity. Seeing the ambiguous atmosphere between them, Zhou Fang tactfully left the ward, leaving the two alone. Qin Qing proposed a condition to Zuo Yulin: they would only date, not marry, and only for three months. Zuo Yulin hesitated for a while but still agreed.

Zuo Yulin was overjoyed when he realized he had won Qin Qing over. Qin Qing looked at Zuo Yulin's silly appearance and found it somewhat cute. While Zhou Fang was peeking from outside the door, Song Lin also came to the hospital to visit Qin Qing. Seeing the two sticking together in the ward, Song Lin playfully teased Zuo Yulin a few times. Qin Qing defended Zuo Yulin and also playfully teased Song Lin a few times.

Wang He found Song Lin and said that Su Yushan, Song Lin's competitor from Wanfeng Group, had approached their platform's head, telling Wang He and his team that they could name any price as long as they secured the exclusive naming rights for the show. Song Lin had a headache and was unsure what to do when Luna appeared before them, offering to help.

However, Song Lin didn't want to owe Luna a favor and excused himself, saying he had something to attend to, and left. After Song Lin left, Luna asked Wang He about Zhou Fang's situation. Wang He didn't know much about Zhou Fang either, so he said that Zhou Fang and Song Lin were just ordinary friends and told Luna not to worry. He added that Song Lin might settle down in a few years and change his mind about Luna.

Luna felt better after listening to Wang He's comfort, but then she worried that Song Lin still wouldn't like her when the time came. Seeing this, Wang He half-jokingly, half-seriously said that if Song Lin didn't marry her, he would. Luna took Wang He's words as a joke, but what she didn't know was that Wang He had secretly loved her for ten years, and Song Lin also knew about this.

After chatting with Luna, Wang He looked for Song Lin again to help Luna inquire about some information. Wang He was surprised to learn that Zhou Fang lived across from Song Lin's home, thinking that Song Lin and Zhou Fang were truly dating. But Song Lin said it was unrequited love on his part, and he felt that such a feeling of liking was fleeting, and even if there was liking, they didn't necessarily have to be together.

After Luna learned from Wang He that Zhou Fang had indeed moved in across from Song Lin, she went to Zhou Fang the next day to confront her, claiming to be Song Lin's girlfriend and accusing Zhou Fang of getting too close to Song Lin. Zhou Fang explained that she had no intentions towards Song Lin and did not want to destroy anyone's relationship.

Luna gave Zhou Fang three days to move out and offered to compensate Zhou Fang for the lost rent. Zhou Fang agreed to move out, but her self-esteem made her refuse Luna's compensation. Although Zhou Fang acted very tough in front of Luna, her financial situation was indeed not very optimistic. After Song Lin learned that Zhou Fang was going to move out, he came to find Zhou Fang to clarify what was happening.

Seeing that Zhou Fang couldn't give a specific reason, Song Lin guessed that Luna had approached Zhou Fang. Song Lin said that since Zhou Fang and Shen Di moved in, Song Luo had been particularly happy, and he had been extremely busy with work lately and had no time to take care of Song Luo. Song Luo needed Zhou Fang now. Song Lin asked Zhou Fang to stay first to help take care of Song Luo.

Zhou Fang could only agree to consider it. Qin Qing had a class reunion that night and managed to persuade Zhou Fang to go with her. As soon as Qin Qing and Zhou Fang sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries with their classmates, an old classmate, Huo Chendong, also arrived. Huo Chendong had just been transferred back to Shanghai from the company's headquarters and would also live in Shanghai from now on. Huo Chendong sat next to Zhou Fang.

After they had only exchanged a few words, their classmates next to them started to gossip, asking if Huo Chendong came back for Zhou Fang, and also asking whether Huo Chendong liked Qin Qing or Zhou Fang. Huo Chendong didn't know how to answer and could only change the subject. After Zhou Fang finished the class reunion, she arrived downstairs at her home and happened to run into Song Lin, his sister, and Shen Di.

Episode 8 Recap

Zhou Fang was a bit dizzy from drinking and wanted Shen Di to help her back. Song Lin saw this and told Shen Di to go back with Song Luo first. He chatted with Zhou Fang for a few words, telling her to prepare well for the preliminary round of the designer competition. Zhou Fang, emboldened by the alcohol, said that if she couldn't pass the preliminary round, she would draw a turtle on her arm.

Zhou Fang, stimulated by Song Lin, was busy working after returning home, but soon got tired and fell asleep on the sofa. Song Luo was watching Zhou Fang from the opposite side and saw a puddle of red liquid on Zhou Fang's table. She thought Zhou Fang couldn't take the stimulation and did something foolish, so she quickly rushed to Zhou Fang's home with Song Lin. Song Lin was relieved only after seeing that Zhou Fang was fine.

Zhou Fang received a message from Luna before going to bed. Three days later, Luna asked Zhou Fang if she had fulfilled her previous promise. Zhou Fang did not reply, but went to see Luna the next day and told her that she did not want to move out. Zhou Fang told Luna that she did not want to be Luna's love rival; she just wanted to work well, and she and Song Lin were just ordinary friends plus landlord.

Luna, however, found Zhou Fang to be very hypocritical. Zhou Fang had already said everything she needed to say, but Luna didn't believe her words, and there was nothing she could do. On the other side, Huo Chendong was sending the drunk Qin Qing home. Zuo Yulin was waiting for her at Qin Qing's doorstep. When Huo Chendong saw Zuo Yulin, he quickly explained that he was just Qin Qing's friend, telling Zuo Yulin not to misunderstand.

Zuo Yulin wanted to help Qin Qing back, but didn't know the access code to Qin Qing's home. Qin Qing drunkenly said the password was Jiang Yan's birthday. Zuo Yulin didn't know who Jiang Yan was. Huo Chendong, seeing Zuo Yulin's difficulty, entered the access code for him.

When Zuo Yulin was drinking with Chen Chen, he complained to Chen Chen that Qin Qing went to a class reunion but wouldn't let him pick her up, and the apartment door password was still someone else's birthday. Zuo Yulin felt that Qin Qing definitely didn't like him, or at least he wasn't her favorite. Su Yushan, the CEO of Baisai Group, regarded Song Lin as a rival.

After knowing that Song Lin was going to organize a TV competition, he also wanted to get involved. Wang He advised Song Lin to play the Luna card. Luna had only one request for Song Lin: as long as Song Lin made Zhou Fang move out, Luna could step forward to help Song Lin secure the program. However, Song Lin was unwilling to win the program in this way. Wang He had no choice but to respect Song Lin's decision.

Luna did not wait for Song Lin, but she still wanted to help him, so she proactively came to the dinner party and helped Song Lin secure the program. After the dinner party, Song Lin told Luna not to do this again in the future. The more Luna helped, the more guilty Song Lin would feel. Luna, emboldened by the alcohol, hugged Song Lin and told him to repay her favor today.

However, their embrace was photographed by a paparazzi hiding nearby, and their scandal quickly spread. In the evening, Huo Chendong went to pick Zhou Fang up from work. As soon as they arrived downstairs, Song Lin saw them from upstairs. Song Lin quickly went downstairs and greeted Zhou Fang, asking her why she was just getting back and who Huo Chendong was. When Zhou Fang introduced Song Lin to Huo Chendong, she only said that Song Lin was her landlord.

The next morning, Song Lin suddenly gave bicycles to Shen Di and Song Luo, just so Zhou Fang would also come downstairs to teach them how to ride. Song Lin was absent-minded while teaching Song Luo, his mind entirely on Zhou Fang. Once Shen Di and Song Luo could finally ride by themselves, Song Lin sat down with Zhou Fang to chat.

Zhou Fang was thinking about work and didn't want to chat much, but Song Lin kept trying to find topics, wanting to talk with Zhou Fang for a while longer. He even asked if Huo Chendong was Zhou Fang's ex-boyfriend. Zhou Fang denied it, saying that Huo Chendong liked Qin Qing. Song Lin didn't believe it, saying that he could tell at a glance that Huo Chendong liked Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang found Song Lin a bit boring, and seeing that Song Lin had nothing much else to say, she went home. Here, Huo Chendong asked Qin Qing out to inquire about Song Lin. Qin Qing also saw that Huo Chendong was finally going to pursue Zhou Fang. As the two were talking about Zhou Fang, they were seen by Zuo Yulin who was outside the shop. Zuo Yulin misunderstood their relationship and felt a bit jealous. On the way home, Qin Qing suddenly received a call from her father. Qin Qing's father urged her to go home and visit her parents.

Episode 9 Recap

Qin Qing's mother asked Qin Qing if she was in a relationship, but Qin Qing denied it. After hanging up the phone, Qin Qing was a little confused, wondering how her mother knew she was in a relationship. Qin Qing suddenly saw Zuo Yulin's car following her in the rearview mirror. She called Zuo Yulin and asked him where he was, but Zuo Yulin, of course, refused to admit that he was following Qin Qing.

Qin Qing was a little angry. That evening, she went to Zhou Fang's house and told her about it. Qin Qing felt that Zuo Yulin simply didn't trust her. Zhou Fang suggested that she go to Zuo Yulin and clear things up, but Qin Qing said that her feelings for Zuo Yulin weren't that deep now, and if they couldn't talk it through, she would break up with him immediately. Qin Qing broke up with Zuo Yulin.

Zuo Yulin didn't know what he had done wrong and kept chasing Qin Qing, desperately trying to get her back. But Qin Qing was very resolute, feeling that they were indeed not suitable for each other. Ignoring Zuo Yulin's emotional tactics, she turned around and left directly. The next morning, Zhou Fang was about to start drawing design drafts.

Song Lin, however, said that Zhou Fang wouldn't make any progress by working in isolation all day and told her to bring her design drafts and sample clothes to his office in the afternoon. In the afternoon, Song Lin looked at Zhou Fang's design drafts and then asked Chen Chen to take Zhou Fang to visit Warehouse Two.

Chen Chen was a bit surprised; since the previous plagiarism incident, Warehouse Two had become a high-security area, and Song Lin letting Zhou Fang visit showed that he trusted her completely. Zhou Fang gained a lot from her visit to Warehouse Two, understood the gap between herself and Song Lin, and even felt a little discouraged. Not only was there a gap in design between her and Song Lin, but she also had significant technical flaws.

Song Lin took the opportunity to instruct Zhou Fang, telling her to calm down and focus on design, not to rush for quick success. Zhou Fang was convinced, but she didn't give up on participating in the competition and continued to work hard. Zhou Fang was busy until evening. Huo Chendong came to pick Zhou Fang up from work again.

When they arrived downstairs, Song Luo saw Huo Chendong and was a bit puzzled, thinking Zhou Fang was in a relationship. Song Lin was a little jealous and said that Huo Chendong was not Zhou Fang's boyfriend at all. Inside Zhou Fang's company, Shao Kai was about to turn off his phone after finishing a live stream at the company.

Zhou Fang suddenly called Shao Kai over and told him to contact the factory to stop all the clothes they had made previously. She also asked Shao Kai to bring her the clothes that had been changed out of during the previous live stream. Shao Kai was busy getting clothes for Zhou Fang and completely forgot to turn off his phone. Zhou Fang was unaware of this and was about to try on the clothes herself after tailoring them.

Tang Jie, who was nearby, quickly rushed over to block Zhou Fang, saying that the live stream was still on. Su Yushan still intervened in the production of the designer competition program. Several people were discussing the program production at the TV station. Su Yushan's assistant suddenly showed them a video of Zhou Fang transforming a piece of clothing in five minutes and then taking off her clothes before a live stream.

The station director mistakenly thought Zhou Fang did this on purpose to gain fame. Luna arranged to meet Song Lin. After Luna learned that Yuan Yiwei was also participating in the program, she spent a lot of money to buy Yuan Yiwei's scandalous information and handed it to Song Lin. Luna thought that exposing the information could make Song Lin's program popular, but Song Lin didn't want to use such unethical means.

Luna had no choice but to take the information back, saying only to come to her if he needed it. That evening, Huo Chendong, as usual, escorted Zhou Fang home. Song Luo watched from the balcony as Huo Chendong went upstairs with Zhou Fang this time. For Song Lin's sake, Song Luo told Shen Di to go back quickly, and she also went to Zhou Fang's house with Shen Di.

Huo Chendong was injured while helping Zhou Fang fix a water pipe. Zhou Fang putting a band-aid on him was coincidentally seen by Song Lin from across the way. After Song Luo returned home, she kept praising Huo Chendong in front of Song Lin, which made Song Lin feel very uncomfortable. Zhou Fang had continuously signed up for the designer competition. Su Yushan's assistant, acting on Su Yushan's instructions, approved Zhou Fang's application. Zuo Yulin told Song Lin about this.

Song Lin had a headache; he didn't want Zhou Fang to be selected at this time. If Zhou Fang were selected now, their relationship would definitely be exposed. By then, Zhou Fang would be mistakenly thought of as someone who got ahead through connections. What Song Lin worried about even more was that Su Yushan would use Zhou Fang. Zuo Yulin curiously asked if anything had happened between Song Lin and Su Yushan.

Song Lin sighed and said they were all minor matters, but they were all things that couldn't be resolved. After Zhou Fang received the email notifying her of her selection for the preliminary round, she went out to celebrate with her colleagues. That evening, after Zhou Fang returned home a little tipsy, she suddenly went to Song Lin's house. She proudly told Song Lin that she had been selected for the designer competition.

After sharing the news, Zhou Fang wanted to leave. But Song Lin pulled Zhou Fang along for a drive. The two chatted by the river. Zhou Fang was still immersed in the excitement of qualifying for the competition. Song Lin told her that her selection was indeed due to someone pulling strings, but that person wasn't him, it was Su Yushan. Song Lin told Zhou Fang that Su Yushan might be planning to use her, but he didn't yet know what Su Yushan specifically intended to do.

Episode 10 Recap

After Zhou Fang heard that Su Yushan had gone easy on her, she felt that her abilities were not enough to participate in the competition. She wanted to withdraw and leave the qualification to someone more capable. Song Lin was a little helpless. Zhou Fang did not want to say more to Song Lin and went straight home. At the preliminary round of the designer competition, the on-site director informed the contestants about the rules for the preliminary round.

After the competition began, Su Yushan and Song Lin, among others, watched the contestants' performance in the studio. While the contestants were rushing to choose fabrics, Zhou Fang was not in a hurry; instead, she observed from the side. Su Yushan found Zhou Fang quite interesting and expressed to everyone that he was very much looking forward to Zhou Fang's performance. Huo Chendong and Qin Qing also arrived at the competition venue.

Zuo Yulin saw that Qin Qing had come with Huo Chendong, and he felt even more uncomfortable. Huo Chendong noticed the strange atmosphere between Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing and was a little surprised, but Qin Qing was thinking about Zhou Fang's matter and was unwilling to say more to Huo Chendong. Halfway through the competition, Su Yushan and Song Lin, among others, suddenly arrived at the competition venue. Su Yushan deliberately spoke to Zhou Fang in front of everyone.

After the competition ended, the contestants were all waiting for the last promotion spot. The director announced to everyone that Zhou Fang had successfully advanced. Everyone recalled the recent conversation between Su Yushan and Zhou Fang and believed that Zhou Fang had advanced through Su Yushan's connections. Zhou Fang passed the competition, but she was not happy. Zhou Fang asked Song Lin if Su Yushan had truly gone easy on her. Song Lin denied it.

He asked Zhou Fang, even if Su Yushan had indeed gone easy, what could she do? Should she hand over the hard-won opportunity to someone else? What Zhou Fang should do most now is to do her current work well, work hard, and seize this opportunity. According to the competition format of the designer competition, every celebrity had to choose a designer partner.

However, recording was about to begin, and no celebrity was willing to choose Zhou Fang as a partner. Song Lin asked Zuo Yulin to tell Zhou Fang this news, letting Zhou Fang figure out a solution herself. Zhou Fang refused to admit defeat. She took her portfolio and began looking for a partner, but she found no one. The next day, Luna asked Song Lin out, saying she could choose Zhou Fang as her partner. Song Lin disagreed.

There were already rumors that Zhou Fang had risen through connections; if Luna really became partners with Zhou Fang, wouldn't that further confirm it? Song Lin did not want Luna to ruin Zhou Fang. Seeing Song Lin defend Zhou Fang so much, Luna became even more determined to choose Zhou Fang as her partner. Zuo Yulin told Zhou Fang this news and asked if she was willing to accept Luna's request. Zhou Fang was also a bit conflicted.

The next day, she found Luna and asked her why she wanted to choose her as a partner. Luna said she was doing it for the show's effect, explaining that although Zhou Fang was a newcomer, she had strong malleability and great potential for growth. However, Zhou Fang felt Luna's reason was too simple. But to avoid being eliminated, she still decided to talk with Luna. While the two were negotiating, Song Lin suddenly called.

Zhou Fang did not answer, and Luna's expression changed slightly. But she only told Zhou Fang that her schedule was very full and that after the official recording began, their group's progress might not be synchronized with others, so Zhou Fang would have to accommodate her time. Zhou Fang readily agreed, and the two thus reached a cooperation. Zhou Fang's parents bought a lot of delicious food and brought it to Zhou Fang's house to cook for Shen Di.

The two of them encountered Shen Di and Song Luo coming home together downstairs, so they asked Song Luo to stay for dinner too. Shen Di was worried that Song Lin would come looking and encounter Zhou Fang's mother, so he quickly told Song Luo to go home. But just as he finished speaking, Song Lin came to Zhou Fang's house to call Song Luo home. Zhou Fang's mother recognized Song Lin at a glance.

Song Lin quickly explained that he had no relationship with Zhou Fang, only having interacted due to Song Luo and Shen Di. However, Zhou Fang's mother did not believe him and gave Song Lin a cold look. Song Lin quickly took Song Luo and left.

Episode 11 Recap

Song Lin had just walked downstairs with Song Luo when Luna suddenly appeared, saying she had something to discuss with Song Lin. Luna told Song Lin that Zhou Fang was currently full of drive, and hoped Song Lin would not be a stumbling block for Zhou Fang. Song Lin was a little surprised, not understanding why Luna would suddenly think of Zhou Fang. Luna, however, said that without Song Lin, she and Zhou Fang would be very good friends.

Now, rumors about the three of them were flying everywhere. Song Lin didn't care because the rumors had no impact on him, but Luna needed to cut her losses. Only by teaming up with Zhou Fang could the rumors be dispelled naturally. After Song Lin left, Zhou Fang's mother began to ask Shen Di about Zhou Fang and Song Lin's relationship.

Zhou Fang's father didn't want Zhou Fang's mother to make things difficult for Shen Di, so he told Shen Di to quickly go and do his homework. Shen Di, relieved, quickly left. Seeing that she couldn't get any information from Shen Di, Zhou Fang's mother wanted to ask Song Lin directly. Just as she arrived downstairs, Zhou Fang's mother saw Luna and Song Lin talking together.

Before Luna left, she even hugged Song Lin, which made Zhou Fang's mother even angrier. Qin Qing was a little anxious after learning that Zhou Fang and Luna had teamed up. She felt that Luna had bad intentions and was only teaming up with Zhou Fang to take advantage of her. However, Zhou Fang had already entered the second round of the competition, and the team-up with Luna was a done deal.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Zhou Fang, Qin Qing and Huo Chendong had no choice but to let her be. Zhou Fang came to the TV station and met Song Lin in the elevator. Zhou Fang subconsciously wanted to avoid suspicion, but Song Lin grabbed her and asked her why she wasn't checking messages. As the two were talking, Su Yushan suddenly arrived. It wasn't convenient for them to talk much, so Zhou Fang greeted Su Yushan and left.

The On-site director announced the format and rules for the new round of competition to all contestants. The new round of competition was a closed-topic production. After the director announced the rules, he left. When Zhou Fang was chatting with one of the contestants, she learned that she had already been regarded as an eyesore by the famous designer Quanye. In everyone's eyes, with Luna and Su Yushan as her backing, how could Zhou Fang still worry about being eliminated?

After Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing broke up, he was always distracted, even absent-minded at work. Seeing that Zuo Yulin's condition was not right, Song Lin took him out for a drink. Zuo Yulin told Song Lin about his breakup with Qin Qing. Zuo Yulin always felt a bit inferior in front of Qin Qing, believing that the gap between him and Qin Qing was too large.

Song Lin enlightened Zuo Yulin, telling him to face his inferiority directly, and when facing the gap, just try hard to bridge it. Zuo Yulin seemed to understand but not fully, but his mood was finally better. When Qin Qing and Zhou Fang were eating together, Zhou Fang was preoccupied with thoughts of her competition work and had no appetite. Qin Qing went to the restroom.

Zhou Fang looked at a family of three diagonally across from her; a mother was celebrating her child's birthday. The child's father was a firefighter, and he only stayed for a while before receiving a new assignment and returning to his team. Zhou Fang felt deeply touched looking at the family of three in front of her. In the competition the next day, Zhou Fang's assigned theme was "mix-and-match." Zhou Fang drew several design drafts but wasn't satisfied.

Suddenly, she recalled what she had seen and heard yesterday, and inspiration struck, so she began to draw the design on paper. Zhou Fang handed the completed design draft to Luna. Luna was very satisfied with the design draft. After Zhou Fang left, Luna's assistant was a bit puzzled, not understanding why Luna praised Zhou Fang so much. Luna simply said she knew what she was doing.

Zuo Yulin went to Qin Qing's store to find her, wanting to pursue Qin Qing again, but he encountered another suitor of Qin Qing. Zuo Yulin not only wasn't angry but even gave him some pointers and shared Qin Qing's preferences with him. Qin Qing's suitor listened to Zuo Yulin's advice half-believingly. He made a date with Qin Qing at her favorite restaurant and even brought her favorite wine. Qin Qing was surprised by his understanding of her. The suitor then pointed in Zuo Yulin's direction and said that Zuo Yulin had told him.

Episode 12 Recap

Qin Qing was somewhat surprised by Zuo Yulin's appearance. She subconsciously felt that Zuo Yulin wanted to follow and monitor her again. However, Zuo Yulin said that he was very grateful that Qin Qing had broken up with him before, which made him realize that his previous actions were indeed problematic. He told Qin Qing that he had realized where he went wrong, that he would correct his mistakes, and would pursue Qin Qing again.

Luna was a bit tired after finishing the rehearsal for the designer competition program and was resting on the sofa. She wanted to invite Song Lin and Song Luo out for dinner. Zhou Fang happened to arrive and asked Luna if the clothes fitted well. Luna mentioned a few points that needed modification and was about to go to the changing room to take off the clothes, but she accidentally sprained her ankle.

Zhou Fang saw Luna about to fall and quickly reached out to help her. As a result, both of them fell to the ground. Luna's assistant quickly took Luna to the hospital. Song Lin, upon hearing the news, also rushed to the hospital to visit her. Seeing that Luna was not seriously injured, Song Lin asked if Zhou Fang was hurt.

When Zhou Fang and Luna fell together, her wrist was also injured, so Song Lin helped Zhou Fang treat her wound. Seeing Song Lin care so much about Zhou Fang, Luna felt a bit disappointed. The TV station arranged an interviewing reporter for Zhou Fang. After they met, Zhou Fang realized that Shen Peipei, Wang Zeyang's ex-affair partner, was the reporter interviewing her.

During the interview, their conversation strayed further and further, even involving personal feelings, and they almost got into an argument. Zhou Fang then went to the restroom to calm down. When she came out, wanting to continue the interview, Shen Peipei had already left. Wang He told Song Lin that Zhou Fang had entered the top eight. However, it was uncertain whether this news was good or bad.

Now, everyone believed that Su Yushan was Zhou Fang's backer, and there was much discussion about Zhou Fang behind her back. If Zhou Fang couldn't stand out exceptionally, every subsequent promotion she received would attract more controversy. Qin Qing and others gathered for a small celebration to congratulate Zhou Fang on entering the top eight.

When Qin Qing called a taxi to go home, Zuo Yulin followed Qin Qing all the way, even getting into the car Qin Qing called, accompanying her home. Zuo Yulin walked with Qin Qing to her doorstep. As Qin Qing was about to go back inside, Zuo Yulin suddenly hugged Qin Qing and proposed getting back together.

Qin Qing did not agree, but Zuo Yulin was not discouraged, saying that he was just asking, and it was okay if Qin Qing didn't agree. Before Zuo Yulin left, he said that he would pick Qin Qing up from work tomorrow and take her to eat something delicious. On her way home alone, Zhou Fang kept thinking about the negative evaluations from the outside world.

Zhou Fang returned home feeling depressed and found a bouquet of flowers and a card on her door. Zhou Fang opened the card and saw that it was flowers and a card sent by Song Lin to encourage her. Zhou Fang felt slightly comforted. After returning home, she put the flowers in a vase to keep them. Song Luo saw this from across the way and quickly called Song Lin.

Song Lin, however, was very calm, and only then did Song Luo realize that Song Lin had sent the flowers. Song Lin watched Zhou Fang arranging the flowers from across the way, feeling a bit happy. But Zhou Fang seemed to know that Song Lin was watching from across the way, and she raised her hand to pull the curtains with the remote control. Zhou Fang finally made it home for a visit.

Zhou Fang's mother pulled Zhou Fang aside and told her not to associate with Song Lin anymore. Zhou Fang's mother felt that Song Lin was not a proper person, and that they were just ordinary common people who only needed to live their own small lives well. Zhou Fang agreed, saying that she and Song Lin had no particular relationship to begin with, and only then did Zhou Fang's mother feel relieved.

After chatting with her mother, Zhou Fang went to the kitchen to help her father. Zhou Fang's father also started talking with Zhou Fang, saying that although he didn't completely agree with what Zhou Fang's mother had just said, he advised Zhou Fang that character was the most important thing, whether it was making friends or looking for a partner. In the middle of the night, Zhou Fang was suddenly woken up by Qin Qing's call.

Qin Qing, with a tense tone, told Zhou Fang to quickly check the news. Only then did Zhou Fang discover that she, Luna, and Song Lin were in the news, with rumors circulating online that Zhou Fang was the third party between Song Lin and Luna, and that she was even rumored to be the TV station's predetermined champion.

Wang He found Song Lin to discuss how to handle the matter, wanting Song Lin to come forward and cooperate with Luna, but Song Lin did not agree. Luna also found Song Lin, wanting him not to suspect her, but Song Lin still suspected that Luna was framing her from behind. Qin Qing, however, guessed that Shen Peipei was framing Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang had no clue, and was even wondering whether to withdraw from the competition.

Zhou Fang called her father, asking him to help keep the news from Zhou Fang's mother. After the designer Quan Ye heard the news, he proposed withdrawing from the competition to the director and, in front of Zhou Fang, commented that Zhou Fang got to her position through connections. Zhou Fang couldn't contain her anger and stepped forward, wanting to argue with Quan Ye.

Episode 13 Recap

Zhou Fang told Quan Ye that she and Su Yushan only met on the show, and Su Yushan was not her backer. Although she knew Song Lin, Song Lin was fair and would not give her preferential treatment on the show just because he knew her. Quan Ye didn't believe her explanation and turned to leave. A new round of competition began, and this time the contestants only had two hours to complete their designs.

Zhou Fang's mother accompanied Zhou Fang's father to the hospital. After returning home, she was anxious to see the voting results of Zhou Fang's competition. Zhou Fang's father couldn't stop her. Zhou Fang's mother opened her phone and saw that Zhou Fang's ranking was at the bottom. Zhou Fang's mother was a little anxious and quickly called Zhou Fang to ask about it. Qin Qing drove Zhou Fang home.

Zhou Fang scrolled through her phone and saw that Shen Peipei's press release didn't say anything bad about her. Zhou Fang was a little puzzled, but Qin Qing suspected that Shen Peipei wanted to praise Zhou Fang to death. When Song Luo and Shen Di were doing homework together, they watched Zhou Fang walking around the house, busy. Song Luo was a little worried about Zhou Fang's condition.

At this time, Huo Chendong suddenly came to the door and wanted to chat with Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang saw that Shen Di and Song Luo were at home doing homework, so she went downstairs with Huo Chendong. Huo Chendong saw that Zhou Fang looked relaxed and felt that she was pretending, hoping that Zhou Fang could stop the loss in time.

Huo Chendong also asked Zhou Fang if she really liked Song Lin, and asked if Zhou Fang knew Song Lin's thoughts. Zhou Fang said that she didn't want to guess Song Lin's thoughts. Huo Chendong suggested to Zhou Fang that if she found a boyfriend now, the rumors between her and Song Lin would disappear. If Zhou Fang was willing, he could pretend to be Zhou Fang's boyfriend, but Zhou Fang politely declined.

Zhou Fang forgot to bring her phone when she went downstairs. Luna sent Zhou Fang a message to meet her. Song Luo saw the message and gave the phone to Zhou Fang, and told Song Lin about Luna's appointment with Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang went to see Luna, but her words were already very estranged. Luna asked Zhou Fang if she was willing to continue participating in the competition.

Luna hoped that Zhou Fang would cooperate with her to hold a press conference for Song Lin's sake. While Luna was trying to persuade Zhou Fang, Song Lin suddenly came, took the statement and told Luna that Zhou Fang was his girlfriend, and he would protect her as much as possible. After Song Lin finished speaking, he reached out to Zhou Fang and asked her to leave with him.

Zhou Fang was a little surprised and inexplicably put her hand in Song Lin's hand and left with Song Lin. After the two left, Song Lin told Zhou Fang that from now on, she didn't have to worry about anything, just focus on the competition. After Zhou Fang returned home, she recalled the scene where Song Lin had defended her in every possible way, and her mood was a bit complicated.

Zhou Fang's mother came back from buying groceries and met several neighbors chatting together. From the neighbors, Zhou Fang's mother learned that Zhou Fang and Song Lin had a scandal. Zhou Fang's mother anxiously called Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was recording a program at the TV station at this time. Zhou Fang's mother didn't want to disturb Zhou Fang at this time, so she hung up the phone and went directly to the TV station.

At the entrance of the studio, Zhou Fang's mother had a conflict with Luna's fans. Zhou Fang saw this and rushed in to pull Zhou Fang's mother away. Qin Qing sent Zhou Fang's mother home and reported her safety to Zhou Fang, and then told her to adjust her mentality and show her true strength in the competition to silence the critics.

Zuo Yulin happened to meet Qin Qing's mother when he came to pick up Qin Qing from get off work. Zuo Yulin greeted her and was about to introduce himself, but Qin Qing interrupted Zuo Yulin, saying that Zuo Yulin was her friend. Qin Qing's mother didn't believe it and called the clerk Fang Fang to inquire. Fang Fang didn't know the situation, so she said that the two were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Afterwards, Qin Qing explained to Zuo Yulin that it wasn't that she didn't want to admit Zuo Yulin's identity as her boyfriend, but that she was worried that her mother would keep urging them to get married after she found out. Zuo Yulin said that if Qin Qing wanted to get married, he was ready at any time, and it didn't matter if Qin Qing didn't want to get married now.

Zuo Yulin got a raise and bought Qin Qing a watch, but Qin Qing said that she already had an identical one. Zuo Yulin had to say that he would go and exchange it for another one after dinner. On the way home from their date, Zuo Yulin saw that Qin Qing didn't buy anything when she went shopping, so he asked Qin Qing if she didn't want to spend his money.

Qin Qing only said that she didn't see anything she liked, and said that she wanted to give Zuo Yulin a gift. While Zuo Yulin was wondering, Qin Qing suddenly kissed Zuo Yulin. Zuo Yulin was surprised and happy. Qin Qing looked at Zuo Yulin's happy appearance and found him a little cute.

Episode 14 Recap

Chen Chen suddenly called Zuo Yulin, informing Zuo Yulin to come to the TV station for an emergency meeting half an hour later. After Zhou Fang returned to the hotel, she found that the contestants were all very distant from her, and her room had been checked out by the production team. Zhou Fang met Luna in the hotel lobby. Luna also mocked and ridiculed Zhou Fang.

At the TV station's emergency meeting, everyone asked Song Lin to deal with the matter quickly. Song Lin stated that he would not let Zhou Fang take the blame for him. He asked Zhou Fang to continue the competition, and he also believed that with Zhou Fang's strength, she would definitely be able to change the audience's perception in the end.

Song Lin single-handedly secured Zhou Fang's qualification to continue the competition, but Zhou Fang proactively approached Song Lin, saying that she wanted to withdraw from the competition. Song Lin was a bit angry, feeling that Zhou Fang's attitude made her completely unqualified to talk about pursuing dreams with him. Zhou Fang's mother knew about Zhou Fang's withdrawal, so she started thinking again about getting Zhou Fang married and settled down quickly. She also asked about Huo Chendong's recent situation.

Zhou Fang was a bit helpless, saying that she and Huo Chendong were impossible. When Song Lin was having a meeting at the company, employees told Song Lin that Wansheng Group had suffered significant losses since the scandal came out. However, Song Lin felt that since Zhou Fang had already withdrawn from the competition, the losses would decrease after the fervor of this incident passed.

The most important thing for Wansheng Group now was to find a new development path and widen the gap with Su Yushan's Baicai Group. Su Yushan met with Luna. The two didn't know what they talked about, but it seemed they had reached a cooperation. Because of Zhou Fang's withdrawal, Luna also withdrew from the competition. Zhou Fang didn't understand why Luna withdrew, as she could have clearly continued the competition by changing partners.

Qin Qing guessed it might be Luna's scheme. Zhou Fang couldn't figure it out, thinking that since she had already withdrawn, these matters were no longer her concern. When Qin Qing went back to her parents' house for dinner, Qin Qing's mother asked how her relationship with Zuo Yulin was going. She also instructed her to date with marriage in mind. Qin Qing was a bit helpless, saying that she would be cautious.

However, Qin Qing's mother never ended the topic and kept urging Qin Qing to settle down. Qin Qing left the dining table to get a drink. Qin Qing's mother asked Qin Qing's father when he planned to tell Qin Qing about his illness. Qin Qing's father, however, didn't want his daughter to worry and decided not to tell Qin Qing that he needed to be hospitalized for surgery.

After Qin Qing returned home, she saw Zuo Yulin waiting for her on the sofa, having fallen asleep. Qin Qing playfully woke up Zuo Yulin. Just as they had talked for a few sentences, Zuo Yulin had to leave again for work. Qin Qing was a bit disappointed, but could only let Zuo Yulin go attend to his work first.

After Zuo Yulin left, he called Song Lin, telling him that Zhou Fang was not in a good state and asked Song Lin to go accompany Zhou Fang. However, Song Lin said that he himself was also in a bad state. Song Lin hung up the phone, but still looked towards Zhou Fang's house across the street, finding that Zhou Fang's lights were off. He then asked Song Luo if she knew where Zhou Fang had gone.

Song Luo only knew that Zhou Fang was in a bad mood and had gone out alone to clear her mind after sending Shen Di to her parents' house. Song Lin found Zhou Fang by the riverside. Zhou Fang asked Song Lin if she, as a fashion designer, was particularly bad. Song Lin did not discourage Zhou Fang, only saying that one would never regret doing what they liked. Song Lin suggested that Zhou Fang go traveling to relax.

After Luna withdrew from the competition, netizens widely expressed their indignation for Luna, feeling that Zhou Fang had dragged Luna down. They then collectively demanded that the production team allow Luna to return to the competition. Wang He, for Luna's popularity and fame, let her return to the competition. On the other side, Zhou Fang listened to Song Lin's suggestion and prepared to travel with Qin Qing.

Episode 15 Recap

Qin Qing and Zhou Fang went on an outing to an ancient town near Shanghai. They came to a fabric dyeing workshop, visited the factory, and learned how to dye fabric. Zhou Fang felt she gained a lot. They walked around until noon, and while resting and chatting at a restaurant, Qin Qing secretly called Huo Chendong over, wanting to help him pursue Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang, on the other hand, secretly called Zuo Yulin to join them.

A group photo of the four of them eating together was seen by Song Lin. Song Lin was a bit angry. After hesitating for a long time, he called Zuo Yulin to ask about the situation. Zuo Yulin said he had only just met Huo Chendong and that he was currently accompanying Qin Qing, and didn't know about Zhou Fang and Huo Chendong's situation.

After Zuo Yulin finished speaking, he was worried that Qin Qing would get angry if he continued, so he quickly hung up the phone. Luna found Song Lin. She said that she returned to the show all for him, but Song Lin didn't believe her. He felt that Luna returned to the show because the show still had value. Song Lin said he watched Luna's interview.

Luna's words in the interview were very beautiful, but he always felt she was being hypocritical. Song Lin reminded Luna that their contract would also end after the competition, and she wouldn't need to look for him for anything in the future. Song Lin's ruthlessness made Luna very sad. In the evening, the fireworks display began. Zuo Yulin gave Qin Qing a photo album full of their memories. Qin Qing was touched, and they sweetly kissed each other.

On the other side, Huo Chendong and Zhou Fang were watching the fireworks on the bridge. Huo Chendong suddenly confessed his feelings to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was stunned. Huo Chendong continued, saying that he had liked Zhou Fang since school, and since they met again, he didn't want to miss this opportunity again. Zhou Fang didn't know how to respond and just thought Huo Chendong was joking, wanting to give him a way out.

However, Huo Chendong seriously said that he was serious. Zhou Fang had no choice but to directly refuse, saying that they were not suitable for each other. Huo Chendong then asked Zhou Fang if she refused him because she liked Song Lin. Under Huo Chendong's questioning, Zhou Fang had to admit that she indeed liked Song Lin. No sooner had Zhou Fang finished speaking than Song Lin suddenly appeared behind Zhou Fang.

He pulled Zhou Fang closer, unable to suppress his feelings any longer, and kissed Zhou Fang. Huo Chendong looked at the scene before him, heartbroken, and silently left. Zhou Fang and Song Lin walked back to the hotel hand in hand. Song Lin's room was next to Zhou Fang's. After they each returned to their rooms, they both recalled the kiss they had just shared on the bridge. After showering, neither of them felt like sleeping.

They couldn't help but want to go find each other, but they were also very hesitant. They both opened their doors at the same time and felt a bit sweet seeing each other appear before them. The next morning, while Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were having a sweet moment, Song Lin called, asking Zuo Yulin to return to Shanghai with him for work. Zuo Yulin had no choice but to leave with Song Lin.

On the other side, Zhou Fang told Qin Qing about what happened last night. Although Qin Qing felt it was a pity that Zhou Fang refused Huo Chendong, she still supported Zhou Fang's choice. She only reminded her not to be too good to Song Lin all at once, so as not to get hurt in the relationship again. The designer competition was drawing to a close.

Su Yushan and Song Lin were both thinking about how to maximize their profits from the show and sign more and better designers. Meanwhile, Song Lin's team encountered obstacles in their collaboration with the Korean side on the overseas warehouse. It might require Song Lin to personally handle it. Song Lin had a headache. If he went to deal with the overseas warehouse issue, he wouldn't be able to compete with Su Yushan for signing designers.

As Song Lin was talking with Chen Chen, Su Yushan suddenly arrived. Su Yushan seemed to know Song Lin's company situation like the back of his hand. He asked Song Lin if he thought the overseas warehouse was more important or signing designers was more important. Song Lin replied that neither was important. Su Yushan didn't believe him, only thinking that Song Lin was bragging.

As Song Lin was about to leave, Su Yushan called out to him and warned him to quickly let go of what he had taken from him, otherwise, he would retaliate against Song Lin with double the force.

Episode 16 Recap

Zuo Yulin unintentionally saw Su Yushan's assistant talking to an internal spy from Wanfeng Group at the TV station. He saw the spy hand over Wanfeng Group's data to Su Yushan's assistant. Zuo Yulin noticed that the spy's watch and clothes were identical to Chen Chen's. He didn't make a fuss, but simply invited Chen Chen to dinner after work.

During dinner, Zuo Yulin kept subtly probing Chen Chen about his situation, and also asked him if he had any recent financial pressure. Shen Di's mother suddenly told Zhou Fang that she and Shen Di's father were planning to settle abroad and had decided to have Shen Di join them for school. Zhou Fang asked Shen Di to consider it carefully.

Shen Di hadn't seen his father in a year, so he naturally missed his family and agreed to transfer schools, but he worried that Song Luo would be sad once she found out. Zhou Fang sighed, deciding to find an opportunity to explain clearly to Song Luo. While walking with Song Lin, Zhou Fang brought up Shen Di's plan to go abroad, telling Song Lin that she was a little worried about Song Luo.

Song Lin, however, didn't quite understand, thinking that with them around, Song Luo should be fine. Zhou Fang told Song Lin that only after her recent outing did she realize she couldn't let go of her job as a fashion designer. Song Lin mentioned that Wanfeng Group was recently going to sign a new batch of designers to be responsible for the original design section, and asked Zhou Fang if she was willing to join.

Zhou Fang thought it over and decided to sign with Song Lin, promising that she would absolutely not bring disgrace to him. Zuo Yulin was busy investigating Chen Chen and hadn't contacted Qin Qing all day. Qin Qing didn't know the reason and thought Zuo Yulin had grown tired of her, losing confidence in their relationship and considering breaking up with him.

However, Zhou Fang spoke up for Zuo Yulin, saying that he might just be too busy, and comforted Qin Qing, assuring her that Zuo Yulin would definitely call her to apologize in the evening. Song Lin's team and the overseas warehouse project had been progressing unfavorably. The Korean company was wavering between Wanfeng Group and Baisai Group.

Song Lin's team was a bit discouraged and didn't want to continue the project, but Song Lin analyzed the situation, stating that the Korean company was the most suitable partner for Wanfeng Group at the current stage, that the short-term effort was worthwhile, and that he wouldn't let Wanfeng Group make a losing deal. At school, Song Luo saw Shen Di looking downcast and asked him what was wrong.

Shen Di hesitated for a moment, then told Song Luo about his plan to study abroad. Song Luo's eyes immediately reddened, and she angrily called Shen Di a liar, saying he didn't keep their previous promise to take university entrance exams together. In a state of breakdown, Song Luo skipped class and went home alone before school even ended.

After Song Lin learned that Song Luo had skipped class, he asked Zhou Fang to go home and check on Song Luo, as he was busy with company meetings. When Song Luo saw Zhou Fang, her suppressed emotions suddenly burst out. Song Luo thought she was like Shen Di, but today she realized she was different from Shen Di; Shen Di could still go find his parents, but she could never see her own parents again.

Zhou Fang hugged the sobbing Song Luo in her arms. After Song Luo cried for a while, Zhou Fang took Song Luo home and told her parents that she had recognized a goddaughter for them. Although Zhou Fang's parents were a little surprised, seeing Song Luo's wronged expression, they had no objections and acknowledged Song Luo as their goddaughter. Song Luo's mood improved after that. Zhou Fang's parents cooked a table of home-style dishes for Song Luo.

As they were setting the table, Huo Chendong and Shen Di also arrived. Zhou Fang felt a bit awkward and quietly asked Shen Di how he brought Huo Chendong along. Shen Di was a little helpless, saying that Huo Chendong had picked him up directly from school. When Song Lin returned home and saw Song Luo wasn't there, he called to ask where Song Luo was. Song Luo showed Song Lin that she was eating at Zhou Fang's parents' house.

Song Lin felt a bit jealous seeing Huo Chendong also sitting next to Zhou Fang, so he hung up the phone. At the dinner table, Zhou Fang's mother again tried to set up Huo Chendong and Zhou Fang. Seeing this, Zhou Fang quickly interrupted her mother, saying that she and Huo Chendong were impossible, as she already had a boyfriend. After Zhou Fang, Song Luo, and Shen Di returned home, Song Lin was already waiting downstairs for Zhou Fang.

Song Luo and Shen Di, sensing the awkward atmosphere, quickly went home separately. Song Lin was a bit jealous that Huo Chendong could casually go to Zhou Fang's parents' house for dinner, so he pestered Zhou Fang, saying that he also wanted to go to her parents' house for dinner.

At the Wanfeng Group meeting, Song Lin decided to fly to South Korea himself to discuss the overseas warehouse cooperation with the Korean side, and he asked Zuo Yulin to monitor the competition program. Chen Chen volunteered, wanting to go to South Korea with Song Lin, but Zuo Yulin interrupted Chen Chen, saying that there were still many things in China that Chen Chen needed to handle.

Song Lin also didn't let Chen Chen follow, only telling him to oversee the construction of the new domestic factory. After the meeting, Zuo Yulin found Song Lin and told him what he had seen at the TV station that day.

Episode 17 Recap

Song Lin heard Zuo Yulin's words but had no reaction, only telling Zuo Yulin to focus on the program's matters and not worry about Chen Chen's affairs. Song Lin personally went to Korea to meet with President Jin. Song Lin saw that President Jin was worried about funding issues and proactively offered to help solve a portion of the funding problems, but requested to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with President Jin.

President Jin breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Baissai Group also offered them a more attractive condition, but Su Yushan wanted to acquire shares. President Jin was unwilling to sell his years of hard work. Seeing that Song Lin could solve his funding problems, and the condition was merely establishing a long-term cooperative relationship, President Jin naturally chose to cooperate with Song Lin. After the two finished discussing the cooperation, they had a meal together.

During the evening's drinking session, Song Lin drank too much and was helped back to the hotel by his subordinate, President Sun. Unexpectedly, Luna also arrived in Korea and was staying at the same hotel as Song Lin. President Sun saw that Luna could take care of Song Lin and left first. Taking advantage of Song Lin's intoxicated state, Luna poured out her heart to him, wanting Song Lin to give her a chance.

But Song Lin groggily called out Zhou Fang's name. Luna was heartbroken, secretly kissed Song Lin's cheek, said "Happy Birthday," and then left. The next morning, Zhou Fang called Song Lin. Seeing that Song Lin was no longer angry, she asked him when he would return. While they were talking, President Sun knocked on the door outside. Song Lin then said he would return today and hung up the phone. President Sun pushed the dining cart in.

He had thought Luna was also in Song Lin's room, so he had prepared two breakfasts, but seeing Song Lin was alone in the room, he didn't say much. While chatting with Song Luo, Zhou Fang unexpectedly learned that it was Song Lin's birthday today, so she quickly ordered a cake to prepare a celebration for Song Lin. However, Song Lin returned early and met the cake delivery person at Zhou Fang's doorstep.

Song Lin got the cake and, upon entering, saw Zhou Fang fumbling around in the kitchen making dinner. Song Lin found Zhou Fang's clumsy appearance somewhat cute, while Zhou Fang was a bit embarrassed. But Song Lin didn't mind; as long as Zhou Fang celebrated his birthday with him, he was already very happy. As Song Lin and Zhou Fang were sweetly eating cake, Qin Qing suddenly called Zhou Fang, telling her to quickly check the news.

Zhou Fang checked the news and only then realized that Luna had also gone to Korea. Song Lin was completely drunk last night and had no idea Luna had looked for him. Song Lin called President Sun, wanting President Sun to prove his innocence, but unexpectedly, President Sun said that Luna really had looked for him.

Song Lin was somewhat surprised, and Zhou Fang felt even more that Song Lin was lying, thinking that President Sun hadn't cooperated well with Song Lin. The two had a big fight. Song Lin wanted their relationship to go further and hoped Zhou Fang could give him basic trust, but Zhou Fang said that they were completely unsuitable for each other and even proposed to break up with Song Lin.

Song Lin went to see Luna and asked her what she really wanted to do. Luna became even sadder facing Song Lin's series of questions, saying that she only wanted to wish Song Lin a happy birthday, and that kiss was just a farewell. After arguing with Song Lin, Zhou Fang went to Qin Qing to complain. Although Zhou Fang was angry, she still hoped Song Lin would coax her.

Qin Qing was also very angry with Song Lin's actions, feeling that Song Lin only defended himself and didn't consider Zhou Fang's feelings at all. Qin Qing advised Zhou Fang not to contact Song Lin anymore, but Zhou Fang was already so tired that she fell asleep. Qin Qing saw Song Lin calling and hung up the phone. Seeing that Zhou Fang hadn't returned home, Song Lin went out to look for her.

Later, he received a call from Zuo Yulin and only then learned that Zhou Fang had fallen asleep at Qin Qing's house. The next morning, Zuo Yulin went to Song Lin's office to discuss signing a contract with a designer. While they were talking, Qin Qing suddenly came to Song Lin's office, splashed a cup of water on Song Lin's face, and warned him not to look for Zhou Fang again in the future.

Although Song Lin told Zuo Yulin not to tell Zhou Fang about this, Zuo Yulin still called Zhou Fang, wanting her to persuade Qin Qing to stop causing trouble. Zhou Fang had a headache. After Qin Qing returned home, Zhou Fang told Qin Qing that she knew Qin Qing was doing it for her own good, but she had already broken up with Song Lin and hoped Qin Qing would stop doing these things.

Episode 18 Recap

Zhou Fang and Song Lin still had a contract, hoping Qin Qing would stop making trouble. Qin Qing, who hated evil like poison, believed that Song Lin was the same kind of person as Wang Zeyang. Zhou Fang, however, defended Song Lin, and said that if she continued to cooperate with Song Lin, Song Lin would also be her superior, and would not seek anything from her or deceive her.

Seeing Zhou Fang not listening to her advice, Qin Qing felt that Zhou Fang didn't treat her as one of her own. Zhou Fang had a headache, so she told Qin Qing not to bother with her anymore; she could handle her own affairs herself. Qin Qing was a bit angry, so she went back to the store and called Zhou Fang's company employees, telling them to take all of Zhou Fang's clothes back.

In the evening, a depressed Zhou Fang came to the riverside to clear her mind. Song Lin happened to be there too. Song Lin looked at Zhou Fang's back and called her. Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone and apologized to Song Lin. Song Lin was not angry; he just wanted to explain the rumors between him and Luna to Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang, however, didn't want to listen anymore, feeling that the two of them didn't understand each other well enough, and decided to break up with Song Lin. Zhou Fang hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Song Lin right behind her. Zhou Fang was a bit sad, but she still held back her emotions, turned around, and left.

At school, after class, Shen Di deflated Song Luo's bicycle tire, wanting to take the opportunity to walk with Song Luo. Song Luo, however, threw the deflated bike directly to Shen Di and walked away by herself. The next morning, Shen Di fixed Song Luo's bicycle and wanted to go to school with her. Song Luo, however, still had a cold face. Shen Di thought Song Luo was still angry with him, so he had to leave alone.

Qin Qing had a quarrel with Zhou Fang and was drinking alone in a bad mood. Huo Chendong found Qin Qing, wanting to persuade her not to have a spat with Zhou Fang. Qin Qing, however, felt that Zhou Fang was now only thinking about Song Lin and didn't care about her at all. She even told Huo Chendong to seize the opportunity to step in when Zhou Fang and Song Lin broke up.

Huo Chendong, however, told Qin Qing not to worry about him, and repeatedly advised Qin Qing to reconcile with Zhou Fang. Qin Qing went back home to visit her parents. But Qin Qing's father was not home. Qin Qing's mother only said that Qin Qing's father had gone on a business trip. Qin Qing missed her father a bit, so she wanted to go with Qin Qing's mother to find Qin Qing's father and give him a surprise.

Qin Qing's mother kept declining, making Qin Qing feel that something was off; she always felt that her mother was hiding something from her. Qin Qing's mother quickly changed the subject and asked Qin Qing how her relationship with Zuo Yulin was going lately. Qin Qing was a bit disappointed, saying that Zuo Yulin was too busy with work and often unreachable.

Qin Qing's mother looked at Qin Qing's disappointed expression and felt that Qin Qing was quite serious about this relationship. Song Lin and Chen Chen began interviewing designers together. Quanye also participated in the interview. Quanye told Song Lin that she participated in the designer competition show just for him. She handed her resume and brand introduction to Song Lin, saying that she didn't care much about the terms. Song Lin and Chen Chen were busy until evening.

Song Lin handed the designer signing contract to Chen Chen, asking him to keep it safe. Chen Chen looked at the contract in his hand, feeling a struggle in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, Chen Chen went to Su Yushan and said that he had not gotten what Su Yushan wanted. And he told Su Yushan that he no longer wanted to work for him.

Su Yushan's expression changed, and he told Chen Chen to clearly think about the consequences of withdrawing. It turned out that Chen Chen was initially a person arranged by Su Yushan to be by Song Lin's side. Chen Chen no longer wanted to let Song Lin down. Before going to Su Yushan again, he had already submitted his resignation to Song Lin. Su Yushan's attitude was tough and he refused to let Chen Chen quit.

Left with no choice, Chen Chen still handed the designer signing contract to Su Yushan. The next day, Song Lin called Chen Chen and asked him the reason for his resignation. Chen Chen only said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to accompany his parents. Song Lin knew Chen Chen was lying, and did not let him resign. In the evening, Zuo Yulin brought flowers and gifts to Qin Qing's home to coax her.

He also cooked a table full of dishes for Qin Qing. The two ate and chatted. Zuo Yulin suddenly started speaking up for Zhou Fang, wanting to persuade the two to reconcile. Qin Qing, however, stopped Zuo Yulin's words, telling him not to continue. Zuo Yulin accompanied Qin Qing for a while, then went back to the TV station to work overtime.

Qin Qing woke up in the morning and found that Zuo Yulin had prepared flowers and breakfast for her, feeling a bit touched. At noon, she even personally made pastries and went to the TV station to visit him. Song Lin and Song Luo were having breakfast together. Song Luo received a message from Shen Di saying that he had an exam today and couldn't go to school with Song Luo.

Song Lin then said that he could take Song Luo to school. Song Luo, however, refused, and even said that if Song Lin had this free time, he should think about how to win Zhou Fang back. After Zhou Fang took Shen Di to the examination hall, she received a call from Zhou Fang's mother. Zhou Fang's mother told Zhou Fang to pick Shen Di up and bring him home for dinner later.

She also asked Zhou Fang to invite Huo Chendong. Zhou Fang was a bit helpless, saying that Huo Chendong was away on a business trip. If they wanted liveliness, she would bring Song Luo back with her.

Episode 19 Recap

Song Lin went to the school intending to pick up Song Luo after school. He happened to see Zhou Fang also waiting for Song Luo at the school gate. After Song Lin learned that Zhou Fang was taking Song Luo home for dinner, he said that he would be busy at the TV station until very late today. He asked Zhou Fang to help take care of Song Luo.

He also reminded her that it was her first day reporting to Wanfeng Group on Monday, and she must prepare well so as not to lose face. After Zhou Fang took Song Luo home, she found that Zhou Fang's mother had already called Huo Chendong to prepare the meal in the kitchen. Zhou Fang's mother had always wanted to set up Zhou Fang and Huo Chendong, and she kept nagging at the dinner table.

She even said that she had already recognized Huo Chendong, and even if he couldn't be her son-in-law, she would acknowledge him as her godson. After they finished eating, Zhou Fang and Huo Chendong chatted downstairs at home. Huo Chendong wanted to reconcile Qin Qing and Zhou Fang, so he suggested that he organize a gathering to let Zhou Fang and Qin Qing clear things up.

However, Zhou Fang said that she hadn't figured out how to appease Qin Qing yet. Moreover, Qin Qing was angry that Zhou Fang was still cooperating with Wanfeng Group, feeling that Zhou Fang was a traitor. Zhou Fang decided to talk about it after she was done with this busy period. " "" Qin Qing's father went to the hospital for surgery, hiding it from Qin Qing.

Before the surgery, he called Qin Qing, helping Qin Qing's mother cover up the truth, and told her not to worry. Before they could talk much, Qin Qing's father worried about giving himself away and hung up the phone. Qin Qing's mother didn't understand why he always had to hide things from Qin Qing.

Qin Qing's father sighed, feeling that they had protected Qin Qing too well all along, worrying that Qin Qing hadn't experienced much in life, and if she knew he was sick, he feared she wouldn't be able to handle it. Zuo Yulin accidentally discovered Chen Chen talking with Su Yushan's assistant in the parking lot. Su Yushan's assistant urged Chen Chen to return to Su Yushan, but Chen Chen said he would leave once Song Lin found a new assistant.

In the TV station's conference room, Su Yushan was showing off to Song Lin, stating that he was going to poach other designers. Su Yushan thought he had a sure win after getting the contract from Wanfeng Group, but Su Yushan's assistant rushed in to report that the contract Chen Chen gave him was fake. After Song Lin left, he arranged to have dinner with Zuo Yulin and Chen Chen.

Zuo Yulin had just told Song Lin what he saw in the parking lot when Chen Chen arrived. Song Lin actually knew Chen Chen's identity a long time ago, but Chen Chen hadn't actually sent out any particularly confidential documents over the years; otherwise, Song Lin wouldn't have kept him for so long. Song Lin took out the resignation letter and returned it to Chen Chen, deciding to let Chen Chen continue to stay by his side.

Chen Chen was very moved and swore an oath that he would never betray Song Lin again. On Monday, Zhou Fang presented her plan for the studio's development to Song Lin and others in the conference room. She decided to focus her future development on offline haute couture. However, Song Lin criticized Zhou Fang, saying that she only talked about ideals and didn't consider practical realities.

He also said that the three managers in Zhou Fang's team were not professional enough. Zhou Fang was a bit angry, saying that her employees cooperated tacitly, trusted each other, and that she and they were partners who shared prosperity and adversity, not superiors and subordinates. Song Lin, however, said that professional people should do professional things, and business was not the time for personal favors.

Moreover, Wanfeng Group currently had no time to accompany Zhou Fang's team in their growth. Zhou Fang felt somewhat frustrated. After the meeting, Song Lin saw that Zhou Fang looked displeased and asked if she had been discouraged again. Zhou Fang was a bit helpless, saying she had gotten used to it. Zuo Yulin hurriedly found Song Lin, saying that Su Yushan had modified the contract overnight, and five out of eight designers had been signed away.

Song Lin, however, remained very calm, telling Zuo Yulin to sign the remaining two designers and instructing Zuo Yulin not to sign Quan Ye. Song Lin believed that Quan Ye's design style was not compatible with Wanfeng Group, and he didn't like Quan Ye as a person much. Disputes also arose within Zhou Fang's team; Tang Jie and Youyou worried about their insufficient abilities and did not want to take on managerial positions.

Wang He found Song Lin, saying that a friend of his wanted to hold a make-up wedding for his wife, but their situation was very special. Wang He thought about it and concluded that only Song Lin could help. That evening, Song Lin called Zhou Fang, asking her to clear her schedule for the next day, as he would take her somewhere. The next day, Song Lin took Zhou Fang to find Wang He's friend.

On the way, Song Lin told Zhou Fang about the situation of Wang He's friend, Mr. Lu. It turned out that Mr. Lu wanted to give his wife a surprise, but Mrs. Lu was sick and had difficulty moving around. So, Mr. Lu wanted to secretly plan a hospital ward wedding. However, this would make designing the clothing even more difficult. Zhou Fang looked at the photo album Mr. Lu gave her and found a very special yellow dress.

Mr. Lu told Zhou Fang the story of this dress. Zhou Fang was pensive and then toured Mr. Lu's house, hoping to find some inspiration. As they left Mr. Lu's house, Song Lin asked Zhou Fang if she had any ideas. Zhou Fang sighed, saying that when she had no inspiration, she liked to look at passersby on the street to find it.

Episode 20 Recap

Zhou Fang felt that Mrs. Lu probably didn't like white, and the material of the wedding dress was also not suitable for Mrs. Lu. As Zhou Fang and Song Lin chatted, Zhou Fang got a little inspiration. Zhou Fang went to Zhouzhuang, found the dye shop owner she had met before, and borrowed his workshop to dye fabric.

Zhou Fang planned to use plant dyes to make clothes for Mrs. Lu, which would also be more suitable for Mrs. Lu's physique. In the evening, Mr. Lu asked Song Lin to help him choose one of the three design drawings Zhou Fang had completed. Song Lin chose one of them. Zhou Fang asked Song Lin why he chose that dress. Song Lin said that if it were his own wedding, he would choose that dress.

As he spoke, Song Lin moved closer and closer to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang turned to look at Song Lin and asked him if he asked her to take Mr. Lu's order to get closer to her. Song Lin did not deny it and admitted it frankly. Song Lin also said that Wang He wanted to invite Zhou Fang to discuss the details of Mr. Lu's wedding preparations. Zhou Fang agreed.

When Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were on a date, Zuo Yulin's university classmate, Xiao Fei, called Zuo Yulin. Xiao Fei had also come to Shanghai and invited Zuo Yulin to meet up. Xiao Fei and his classmate Baozi had co-founded a tech company, but both of them were not good at speaking and couldn't sell their products at all. Xiao Fei wanted Zuo Yulin to join their company and help them negotiate collaborations.

After Zuo Yulin went to work, he told Song Lin about Xiao Fei and suggested that they could cooperate with Xiao Fei and his team to develop online try-on technology. Song Lin thought about it for a while and decided to give Xiao Fei and his team a chance. When Wang He and Zhou Fang were discussing wedding details, Wang He suddenly asked if she and Song Lin had not reconciled yet.

Wang He told Zhou Fang that he was the one who introduced Song Lin and Luna. There was only unrequited love between them, not mutual affection, and it was he who liked Luna, not Song Lin. Although Wang He could not control Zhou Fang's decision, he hoped there would be no misunderstanding between Zhou Fang and Song Lin. Mrs. Lu's wedding accessories had not been finalized for a long time.

After Zuo Yulin found out, he wanted Qin Qing to help Zhou Fang. Qin Qing was too embarrassed and didn't want to actively approach Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang returned to the company. Youyou and Tang Jie once again submitted their resignations to Zhou Fang. They both felt that the director position put too much pressure on them.

Zhou Fang was silent for a while, then said that since they had both decided to leave, they should accompany her to a place. Zhou Fang took the three of them for a picnic by the lake. The atmosphere among them was unusually relaxed. Zhou Fang told them that if Youyou and Tang Jie were willing to stay, they could participate in the Wanfeng Group's training.

The company was now developing in a good direction, and Zhou Fang still hoped they could stay by her side and move forward together. Tang Jie and Youyou were persuaded by Zhou Fang and decided to stay. Qin Qing, not yet reconciled with Zhou Fang, gloomily found Huo Chendong to drink. At this moment, Zhou Fang also called Huo Chendong.

After Huo Chendong learned that the two had not yet reconciled, he asked Zhou Fang what she planned to do and advised Zhou Fang to give Qin Qing a way out. Zhou Fang reassured Huo Chendong that she already had a plan and asked Huo Chendong to look after Qin Qing and not let her drink too much. Huo Chendong agreed. The next morning, Qin Qing suddenly heard someone ringing the doorbell outside.

When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Fang had placed balloons and a card at Qin Qing's doorstep. Zhou Fang apologized to Qin Qing on the card, wanting to reconcile with her. Qin Qing was a little touched after reading the card. Just then, Zhou Fang appeared behind Qin Qing, acting coyly towards Qin Qing. Qin Qing, seeing Zhou Fang's cute appearance, also let go of her anger and forgave Zhou Fang. The two reconciled as before.

Wang He, Zuo Yulin, and Chen Chen went to Song Lin's house for a gathering. Wang He wanted Zhou Fang and Song Lin to get back together, so he specifically invited Zhou Fang to come and eat with them. Song Lin complained about Wang He being a busybody, but he was still a little happy. Once the food was on the table, Wang He deliberately had Song Lin sit next to Zhou Fang.

Zuo Yulin and Chen Chen also joined Wang He in egging them on. After the gathering, Song Lin walked Zhou Fang out. Song Lin was worried Zhou Fang might be angry, so he said he didn't know why Wang He and the others kept egging them on today. Zhou Fang just took it as a joke and didn't mind. Soon after Zhou Fang returned home, Shen Di also came home.

Shen Di told Zhou Fang that he had received his admission letter and was going abroad next Wednesday, but Song Luo had been avoiding him recently, so he hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to Song Luo. He then asked Zhou Fang to help him tell Song Luo. That evening, Zhou Fang called Song Lin and told him about Shen Di going abroad, wanting Song Lin to relay the message to Song Luo.

However, Song Lin said he was worried Song Luo would be sad and didn't want to talk to her. Zhou Fang felt a bit helpless and could only go to Song Lin's house the next day to force Song Lin to tell Song Luo about it. Qin Qing took Zhou Fang to a beauty salon for a massage. Just then, Qin Qing's friend, Evelyn, who was also the massage parlor owner's daughter, came in to greet Qin Qing.

Qin Qing then introduced her to Zhou Fang. The two were very surprised when they met; it turned out that Evelyn was Shen Peipei. Shen Peipei got a little angry when she saw Zhou Fang and turned to leave. Only then did Qin Qing realize that Shen Peipei was Wang Zeyang's mistress.

Episode 21 Recap

On the way home, Qin Qing and Zhou Fang talked about Aivelin being Shen Peipei. Both Zhou Fang and Qin Qing were somewhat surprised, but Qin Qing stated that she would break off contact with Shen Peipei for Zhou Fang. Qin Qing told Zhou Fang not to overthink things and that she would handle anything. Qin Qing asked Shen Peipei out, wanting to draw a clear line with her.

Qin Qing also warned Shen Peipei that if she found out Shen Peipei was using public opinion to attack Zhou Fang, she would retaliate. Shen Peipei had always thought Zhou Fang was the third party, so she didn't understand why Qin Qing would speak up for Zhou Fang.

During their argument, Shen Peipei learned that Zhou Fang had been with Wang Zeyang four or five years ago, and that Wang Zeyang had been deceiving Shen Peipei from beginning to end while they were together. Shen Peipei suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed upon learning the truth. She told Qin Qing that she had broken up with Wang Zeyang last month because Wang Zeyang wanted her parents to invest in his new company.

Shen Peipei's parents didn't like Wang Zeyang, so they didn't agree. Shen Peipei had fallen out with her parents for Wang Zeyang, but when Wang Zeyang couldn't get the funds, his attitude towards Shen Peipei turned sour. Shen Peipei couldn't take it anymore and broke up with Wang Zeyang, who agreed without hesitation. After Qin Qing learned the truth, she brought Shen Peipei and Zhou Fang to meet.

Both of them understood the misunderstanding and no longer hated each other, instead becoming good friends. Song Lin told Song Luo that Shen Di was going abroad and asked if Song Luo wanted to go to the airport to say goodbye to Shen Di, but Song Luo pouted and didn't want to go. Song Lin then went to the airport with Zhou Fang to send off Shen Di.

After Shen Di entered the boarding gate, Song Luo, who was saying one thing but meaning another, finally arrived at the airport. Song Luo couldn't say goodbye to Shen Di and felt a bit sad, but still wanted to save face. She didn't let Zhou Fang and Song Lin follow her, and went back to school for class by herself.

After Song Lin picked Song Luo up and brought her home, seeing that Song Luo was unhappy, he tried to chat with her to comfort her. However, Song Luo refused to speak. Seeing this, Song Lin suggested she talk to Zhou Fang. Song Luo nodded. Song Lin found it a bit amusing that he was Song Luo's biological brother, yet Song Luo was unwilling to confide in him.

Song Luo then said that Zhou Fang was her sister-in-law, and Song Lin was quite pleased to hear this. Song Luo went to Zhou Fang's house. She told Zhou Fang that she had also decided to study abroad to pursue her dreams. She hadn't told Song Lin about her plan yet, but she was going regardless of whether Song Lin supported it or not. Zhou Fang expressed support for Song Luo.

Early the next morning, Song Luo brought Zhou Fang to find Song Lin, wanting to confess her plan to him. However, Song Luo was still a bit hesitant, so she asked Zhou Fang to speak for her. Song Lin was somewhat opposed after learning about Song Luo's plan, thinking that Song Luo was just doing it to go find Shen Di.

Seeing that Song Lin wouldn't agree, Song Luo said that if she could rank among the top ten in her final exams, Song Lin should agree to let her study abroad; if she couldn't, she would listen to Song Lin. Song Lin then asked Zhou Fang to be a witness for them. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu's special wedding was about to begin. Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with the dress Zhou Fang made for her.

After the wedding began, Mr. Lu's wedding vows to Mrs. Lu touched everyone present. Everyone applauded as they watched the two embrace. After the wedding, Song Lin and Zhou Fang walked together, chatting about Mr. Lu's wedding. Song Lin sighed about the impermanence of life and asked if Zhou Fang would have any regrets if something happened to him one day. Zhou Fang didn't know how to answer.

After they walked a few steps, Zhou Fang accidentally discovered Qin Qing's father, who was receiving treatment in the hospital. Zhou Fang asked the doctor about Qin Qing's father's condition on Qin Qing's behalf. The doctor told Zhou Fang that Qin Qing's father had advanced-stage liver cancer, and surgery could not completely cure it. Everything would depend on whether the patient could actively cooperate with the treatment.

Qin Qing's father then instructed Zhou Fang not to tell Qin Qing about his illness. Zhou Fang, Qin Qing, and Shen Peipei were having drinks outside together. Soon, Huo Chendong also arrived, and Shen Peipei had a good impression of Huo Chendong. Qin Qing's mother called Zhou Fang, wanting Zhou Fang to help arrange a meeting between Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing's father. Zhou Fang agreed and then asked Zuo Yulin to help her deliver something to the hospital.

Zuo Yulin arrived at the hospital and met Qin Qing's parents. He didn't forget to cover for Qin Qing, saying he was just Qin Qing's ordinary friend. Qin Qing's mother chatted with Zuo Yulin for a few moments and was somewhat dissatisfied with him, but Qin Qing's father was very kind to Zuo Yulin and asked him to stay overnight at the hospital. Zuo Yulin agreed, but this meant he had to cancel his date with Qin Qing.

After Qin Qing learned that Zuo Yulin had canceled their date, she became suspicious. She hung up the phone and told Zhou Fang and Shen Peipei that she thought Zuo Yulin was cheating. Zhou Fang believed in Zuo Yulin's character and advised Qin Qing to trust Zuo Yulin, but Shen Peipei suggested that Qin Qing should find evidence of Zuo Yulin's infidelity before breaking up with him.

Episode 22 Recap

As soon as Zhou Fang got home, she saw Song Luo waving to her from the opposite balcony, inviting her over. Shen Di helped Song Luo get the signed poster she liked. Song Lin felt a bit jealous seeing how much Song Luo liked that poster. Zhou Fang then said that if Song Lin wanted to be a good brother and surpass Shen Di's position in Song Luo's heart, he should send Song Luo to study abroad.

Song Luo persuaded Zhou Fang and Song Lin to get back together, saying that Zhou Fang and Song Lin broke up because Song Lin was still in contact with Luna, but now Song Lin and Luna have completely clarified things, and there are no obstacles between them, so why can't they reconcile?

After Zhou Fang left, Song Lin chased her downstairs again and awkwardly chatted with her for a few moments, just to invite Zhou Fang to dinner after their meeting tomorrow. After Song Lin returned home, Song Luo said with some disappointment that Song Lin should have directly embraced Zhou Fang just now. Song Luo worried that if Song Lin didn't quickly win Zhou Fang back, Zhou Fang would end up with someone else.

Zuo Yulin visited Qin Qing at her jewelry store. Qin Qing quickly messaged Shen Peipei, saying that Zuo Yulin had made her a bento box, which surely meant he had done something wrong. Qin Qing began to interrogate Zuo Yulin about his schedule yesterday. At this moment, Shen Peipei sent a message, telling Qin Qing to smell Zuo Yulin to see if he had any other woman's perfume on him.

Qin Qing used giving Zuo Yulin a massage as an excuse to smell him, but instead, she smelled a strong disinfectant scent on him. After Shen Peipei learned this, she suggested that Qin Qing check Zuo Yulin's phone. Qin Qing then sent Zuo Yulin to get drinks and checked his phone herself, but found nothing.

That evening, Shen Peipei helped Qin Qing start investigating Zuo Yulin's online information, but Qin Qing felt a bit discouraged and didn't want to continue suspecting him. After Zhou Fang and Song Lin finished eating, they walked and chatted. Song Lin mentioned that after Zhou Fang's new products were launched, the company would do a promotion for her. Zhou Fang felt that Song Lin was a bit unusual and asked him if he had anything else to say.

Song Lin then said he missed Zhou Fang and asked her when they could have dinner together again. The atmosphere between them was very ambiguous. Zhou Fang told Song Lin to call her if he wanted to ask her out for dinner. After Zhou Fang finished her work at the company, she returned home and was startled by Qin Qing, who was lying dejectedly on the sofa.

Qin Qing said that Zuo Yulin hadn't replied to her messages, and she was almost dying of anxiety. Before they could say much, Zuo Yulin rushed to Zhou Fang's house to apologize to Qin Qing, saying that he had been in a meeting with Song Lin that afternoon. Qin Qing was somewhat skeptical and asked Zhou Fang to call Song Lin. Song Lin, seeing the situation opposite, roughly guessed what was happening and covered for Zuo Yulin.

While Song Luo was freeloading a meal at Zhou Fang's house, she inadvertently discovered that Zhou Fang wanted to give Song Lin a gift. She then said that Zhou Fang and Song Lin getting back together would be the best gift for Song Lin. Zhou Fang, on the other hand, wanted to do a good job with this brand launch to put Song Lin at ease.

The virtual reality try-on software developed by Zuo Yulin's classmate Xiaofei piqued Song Lin's interest. Song Lin thought this project was good, so he decided to invest in it and intended to make Zuo Yulin their manager. After Song Lin returned home, he found Song Luo talking to Huo Chendong on the phone, asking about math problems. Song Lin wanted to get closer to Song Luo, but she wouldn't give him a chance.

Although Song Lin verbally opposed Song Luo studying abroad, he still went to a study abroad agency to consult about it for Song Luo. Qin Qing made a last-minute decision to go traveling, but she was still angry with Zuo Yulin, so she didn't tell him about it. Seeing that Qin Qing constantly distrusted Zuo Yulin, Zhou Fang invited Zuo Yulin out to ask him what he intended to do.

Although Zuo Yulin was a bit worried, his feelings for Qin Qing were sincere, so he had confidence in their relationship. Seeing Zuo Yulin's confidence, Zhou Fang also felt relieved. The next morning, an article accusing Zhou Fang of plagiarism suddenly spread online. Song Lin's subordinates worried that consumers would misunderstand Wanfeng Group because of Zhou Fang and suggested that Wanfeng Group draw a clear line with Zhou Fang. Song Lin did not respond.

On Zhou Fang's side, she also lost orders because of this article. Tang Jie, Youyou, and a few others looked at Zhou Fang's distressed expression, all somewhat at a loss. They sent Shao Kai to comfort Zhou Fang, but Zhou Fang said she was fine and told the three of them to go off work first. The three had no choice but to leave.

After they left, Zhou Fang called Song Lin and asked him how he planned to resolve the issue. Although Song Lin believed Zhou Fang, to calm the situation, he had to investigate Zhou Fang. Song Lin worried that Zhou Fang had offended someone, which led to the attack. Song Lin felt somewhat guilty, thinking that he had harmed Zhou Fang because of their relationship.

However, Zhou Fang said that she did not blame Song Lin, and without him, she would not have grown so quickly. Qin Qing also saw the news and called Zhou Fang, hastily asking her what the situation was. Zhou Fang said she didn't know either and would report to Qin Qing once she recovered.

Episode 23 Recap

Qin Qing knew that Zhou Fang had an issue and couldn't care less about her vacation, wanting to rush back immediately. Zhou Fang quickly reassured Qin Qing, saying that her matter had been taken over by Wenfeng Group and she didn't need to worry. Qin Qing also suspected someone was harming Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang knew that Qin Qing's first suspect would definitely be Luna, but this time, it really wasn't her.

Qin Qing then asked how Song Lin would handle this matter. She reminded Zhou Fang that Song Lin cared more about the big picture and might sacrifice Zhou Fang for the company's interests, telling Zhou Fang to remember to protect herself when necessary. Zhou Fang said she knew what she was doing; she never expected Song Lin to value her more than Wenfeng Group anyway. Song Lin prepared to investigate how Zhou Fang's design drafts were leaked.

However, the investigation progress often couldn't keep up with the speed of the incident's escalation. The shareholders of Wenfeng Group also began to pressure Song Lin, hoping he would handle the matter as soon as possible to restore Wenfeng Group's reputation. Huo Chendong worried that Zhou Fang was in a bad mood, so he came to pick her up and take her home.

After Huo Chendong took Zhou Fang back, he comforted her with a few words and told her she could come to him if anything happened. Qin Qing also asked Shen Peipei to go to Zhou Fang's house to keep her company. As soon as Shen Peipei arrived downstairs at Zhou Fang's house, she saw Huo Chendong, who hadn't left yet. Shen Peipei was a little nervous facing Huo Chendong, greeted him, chatted briefly, and then left first.

Zhou Fang was a bit surprised to see Shen Peipei arrive. Shen Peipei said she came to help Zhou Fang investigate and see if they could find the person who framed her. Shen Peipei told Zhou Fang that she had more or less interacted with all the participating designers. Most of them were humble and friendly, but she found Quanye a bit suspicious.

Zhou Fang also recalled that Quanye had been somewhat targeting her during the competition, and they had had friction before. Shen Peipei also recalled that when she interviewed Quanye previously, Quanye always subtly mentioned Zhou Fang. However, Zhou Fang felt that although Quanye was arrogant and self-important, she wouldn't do such a thing.

After some analysis, Shen Peipei believed that the mastermind not only had strong hostility towards Zhou Fang but also had a thorough understanding of the program's recording details and the relationships between contestants. Quanye met both of these conditions. After discussing this matter, Shen Peipei mentioned that she had met Huo Chendong downstairs. Shen Peipei was a bit puzzled, wondering why Zhou Fang didn't like Huo Chendong when he had such good qualities.

Zhou Fang saw that Shen Peipei liked Huo Chendong, so she wanted to set them up. She asked Shen Peipei to go downstairs and chat with Huo Chendong for a bit. To create an opportunity for the two, Zhou Fang even asked Huo Chendong to drive Shen Peipei home. Shen Peipei politely declined at first, but seeing that Huo Chendong was really about to leave, Shen Peipei disregarded her pride and got into Huo Chendong's car.

Encouraged by Zhou Fang, Shen Peipei wanted to confess her feelings to Huo Chendong, but Huo Chendong interrupted her. Shen Peipei then found it difficult to continue speaking. Zhou Fang still had some doubts about Quanye. After some consideration, Zhou Fang still went to Quanye's studio, wanting to find a place to have a calm talk with Quanye. However, Quanye said she had nothing to talk about with someone who plagiarized.

Zhou Fang was a bit angry, asking Quanye if she had any evidence, and also asking if she had spread the rumors online. Quanye denied it, saying she knew nothing. To avoid Zhou Fang, Quanye even left work early and asked Zhou Fang to leave. But Zhou Fang felt that Quanye was very guilty. As Zhou Fang came out of Quanye's studio, Song Lin happened to also want to investigate Quanye.

Song Lin told Zhou Fang that he had investigated all the participating designers. Quanye's studio had not been doing well recently, and her performance in the competition was also poor, so she might have targeted Zhou Fang. Song Lin told Zhou Fang not to worry about this matter, saying he could help her resolve it. No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Chen called Song Lin, saying a group of shareholders wanted to see him.

After Song Lin returned to the company, he asked Zuo Yulin what he would do if he faced such a situation. Zuo Yulin said that if he were to act on emotions, he would definitely support Zhou Fang. But thinking rationally, Zhou Fang's interests could not be compared with the interests of the entire group.

Song Lin could also support Zhou Fang privately, but he should communicate well with Zhou Fang first, so as not to hurt their feelings over this matter. Qin Qing was still worried about Zhou Fang and rushed back from abroad. The next morning, Chen Chen called Zhou Fang and asked her to come to the company. After Zhou Fang left, Qin Qing went home, but couldn't open the door.

Just as she was calling a locksmith, Zuo Yulin suddenly arrived and skillfully opened the password lock. Qin Qing was very surprised and told Zuo Yulin to change the password back. However, Zuo Yulin refused, saying he wanted Qin Qing to use her birthday as the password. The two bickered a bit. Qin Qing then asked how Wenfeng Group would handle Zhou Fang's matter, and why Zhou Fang went to the company so early in the morning. But Zuo Yulin didn't know. It turned out that several shareholders of Wenfeng Group had found Zhou Fang, hoping to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Episode 24 Recap

On the other side, Song Lin held a press conference. Song Lin stated that all works in the competition had nothing to do with Wanfeng Group, and Wanfeng Group would actively cooperate with the investigation into whether Zhou Fang had plagiarism issues. If plagiarism was confirmed, Wanfeng Group would terminate all cooperative relationships with Zhou Fang herself.

Qin Qing was a bit angry after learning about this, feeling that Song Lin completely disregarded Zhou Fang's well-being and turned his back faster than flipping a book. Although Zhou Fang felt somewhat disheartened, she felt that Song Lin's actions were rational enough, making him a qualified businessman. Qin Qing felt that Song Lin was too cunning and that Zhou Fang was not suitable for him. Qin Qing advised Zhou Fang never to cooperate with Song Lin again.

Zhou Fang also felt that after today's turmoil, the two of them wouldn't have any cooperation either. Zhou Fang also comforted herself, thinking that perhaps other aspects of her life were too smooth, which was why she was so unlucky in her career. At this moment, Song Lin called Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was hesitating whether to answer, but Qin Qing directly hung up for her. Song Lin couldn't reach Zhou Fang.

Seeing that Zhou Fang wasn't home, he drove out to look for her. However, Zhou Fang had already returned home by then. Song Lin sent Zhou Fang a message apologizing, saying that if it weren't for his connection, Zhou Fang might have developed better. Song Lin went to find Zhou Fang, wanting to explain about the press conference, but Zhou Fang interrupted him, saying that she could understand Song Lin's choice.

Song Lin comforted Zhou Fang, telling her to stabilize her company. He would continue to investigate the rumor-mongers and would also support Zhou Fang in a different way. Zhou Fang, however, felt a bit tired and proposed to Song Lin to terminate their cooperation. Song Lin did not agree, and even proposed to reconcile with Zhou Fang, hoping that Zhou Fang could stay with him for a long time. Zhou Fang disagreed.

Zhou Fang admitted that she liked Song Lin, but she couldn't be with him. She didn't want work to be affected by the on-again, off-again nature of relationships. Moreover, Song Lin's life was full of uncertainties, and most of these uncertainties were not pleasant surprises.

Song Lin sighed, knowing that Zhou Fang was still hurt by the press conference incident, feeling that he was someone who put company interests first and was worried that he would be ready to sacrifice Zhou Fang at any time. Zhou Fang, however, said that compared to being with Song Lin, she wanted to realize her dreams more. Seeing Zhou Fang's determination, Song Lin didn't know what to say, so he had to leave.

After Song Lin left, Zhou Fang finally couldn't help but cry sadly. Song Lin decided to invest in Xiaofei's technology company, but many on the board were worried that the investment was too risky. Song Lin decided to invest in his personal capacity, not involving the interests of others. That evening, after Zhou Fang returned home, she found a white paper pasted on the window of the opposite balcony, with "Miss me?" written on it.

Zhou Fang found it a bit amusing. After Song Lin returned home and found the paper on the balcony, he realized that Song Luo had written it for him. Song Lin verbally called Song Luo childish, but then he asked Song Luo to write another one for him and paste it on the window. Qin Qing and Song Lin both sought out Lawyer Shen to help deal with those who slandered Zhou Fang.

Meanwhile, Zhou Fang decided to contact Quanye again. Qin Qing again blamed Song Lin, but Zhou Fang and Shen Peipei spoke up for Song Lin. While the three were chatting, Zhou Fang's mother suddenly sent Zhou Fang a message, asking her to come home. After Zhou Fang returned home, she found that her mother had invited a feng shui master to their house to check the feng shui, and also asked Master Shao to read Zhou Fang's face.

Zhou Fang had a headache, but her mother was deeply convinced by it. Master Shao then suggested going to see Zhou Fang's current house. Zhou Fang could only let them do as they pleased. Zhou Fang's mother took Master Shao to look at the house, but unintentionally discovered that Song Lin lived directly opposite Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang's mother became furious and directly dragged Zhou Fang to Song Lin's house.

Zhou Fang's mother got straight to the point, saying she had a few questions to ask, and if Song Lin lied, he would never see Zhou Fang again for the rest of his life. Zhou Fang's mother asked Song Lin what his relationship with Zhou Fang was. Song Lin looked at Zhou Fang's expression and only said that he was pursuing Zhou Fang, but Zhou Fang had never agreed. As a result, Song Luo returned and accidentally exposed their lie.

Zhou Fang's mother was a bit angry after learning that they had been together, and even more angry that Song Lin had just deceived her. Worried that Zhou Fang would be hurt emotionally again, Zhou Fang said that they wouldn't reconcile. Zhou Fang's mother looked at Song Lin and told him to let go of Zhou Fang from now on.

Episode 25 Recap

Zhou Fang's mother, after taking Zhou Fang away, went back to pack Zhou Fang's luggage, wanting Zhou Fang to come home with her. Zhou Fang refused. Zhou Fang's mother then decided to stay at Zhou Fang's home to watch over Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang's mother warned Zhou Fang not to have any contact with Song Lin in the future, saying she would keep a close eye on her.

Zhou Fang went to Quan Ye's studio, wanting to talk to her again, but Quan Ye ignored Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang's mother, who came with Zhou Fang, saw that Quan Ye refused to acknowledge Zhou Fang and started making a scene outside the door, but Quan Ye still did not want to communicate with Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang's mother felt it was unfair to her daughter and asked what exactly happened between Zhou Fang and Quan Ye.

Zhou Fang fell asleep while waiting. Zhou Fang's mother saw Quan Ye come out and started talking to her. Zhou Fang's mother told Quan Ye about Zhou Fang's efforts and hardships over the years. Quan Ye, however, argued that many people questioned Zhou Fang, so why were they only fixated on her?

During their conversation, Wang Zeyang sent a text message to Quan Ye, threatening to disclose his transaction records with Quan Ye if she did not do as he said. Zhou Fang's mother also took the opportunity to persuade Quan Ye to tell them the truth. Quan Ye admitted to Zhou Fang that she was the one who spread rumors of plagiarism. Zhou Fang did not blame Quan Ye; she even invited Quan Ye to collaborate on high fashion custom designs.

Quan Ye thought Zhou Fang's action was to get her help in clarifying the plagiarism issue. Although Zhou Fang did have this selfish motive, she wanted a partner even more, as rumors would eventually pass, and netizens would forget about her. Zhou Fang asked Quan Ye to consider it carefully and contact her anytime. Just as Zhou Fang was about to leave, Quan Ye called out to her.

Quan Ye took out the design draft Zhou Fang created during the competition and said that she had made detailed changes to the design to ensure a high degree of similarity, then publicly declared it was the original manuscript. Zhou Fang was puzzled as to why Quan Ye had her design draft. Quan Ye asked Zhou Fang if she had not changed her email password in the past few years.

Quan Ye told Zhou Fang that Wang Zeyang had logged into Zhou Fang's email, downloaded those design drafts, and obtained an original registration certificate, then sold this certificate to her. This was the solid evidence of Zhou Fang's plagiarism, and the original document was still with Wang Zeyang. If Wang Zeyang still wanted to frame Zhou Fang, this matter was not over yet.

Shen Peipei was a bit angry after learning that Wang Zeyang was behind the mischief and wanted to retaliate against Wang Zeyang, but Wang Zeyang was very cunning, and she couldn't find him at all. Zhou Fang's mother stayed at Zhou Fang's home for two days. Zhou Fang's father urged her to return, and Zhou Fang also took the opportunity to tell Zhou Fang's mother to go back and check things.

However, Zhou Fang's mother was more worried about Zhou Fang resuming contact with Song Lin. Zhou Fang quickly promised that she would no longer associate with Song Lin or reconcile with him. Zhou Fang went downstairs to throw out the trash and encountered Song Lin. Seizing the rare opportunity to meet, Zhou Fang quickly told Song Lin that her brand had been taken offline and she planned to sell the remaining products in her own online store.

Song Lin agreed to authorize Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang also asked Song Lin not to interfere with Quan Ye's matter. She was worried that Quan Ye's issue would affect Song Lin, so she would resolve it herself. She did not want Wenfeng Group to be impacted. She would tell Song Lin once she had resolved it.

Song Lin advised Zhou Fang not to be too emotional in life and work; some people cannot be reformed, and during critical and extraordinary times, one must use tough measures. As Song Lin was speaking, Zhou Fang's mother called Zhou Fang, urging her to return. Zhou Fang quickly shoved the trash into Song Lin's hand and went back. Zuo Yulin was on the phone with Qin Qing's mother when Qin Qing happened to overhear.

Zuo Yulin went to the hospital to deliver something, so Qin Qing took a taxi and followed him. Qin Qing followed Zuo Yulin to the hospital and only then realized her father was ill. Qin Qing was extremely disappointed with Zuo Yulin, accusing him of disregarding her feelings and concealing her father's condition. If something truly happened to Qin Qing's father, Qin Qing would regret not being able to accompany him during this time.

After Qin Qing returned to the ward, Zuo Yulin quickly called Zhou Fang and told her about the current situation: Qin Qing's father was having surgery tomorrow. Qin Qing's father's biggest concern was Qin Qing's lifelong happiness, and he told her not to blame Zuo Yulin. Although Qin Qing's father had a good impression of Zuo Yulin, he did not want to force Qin Qing; he only hoped that Qin Qing would always take good care of herself.

Episode 26 Recap

When Qin Qing was talking with her father, Zhou Fang arrived at the hospital. Qin Qing's father then asked Zhou Fang to take Qin Qing to eat first. Qin Qing couldn't help but cry after walking out of the ward. Qin Qing's father then entrusted Zhou Fang to comfort Qin Qing well. The next morning, Zuo Yulin and Song Lin also rushed to the hospital.

Soon, the doctor came out of the operating room and told everyone that the surgery was very successful. Only then did Qin Qing breathe a sigh of relief. When Song Lin, Zhou Fang, and Zuo Yulin were eating together, the two comforted Zuo Yulin, saying that Qin Qing might forget about this in a few days. Song Lin and Zhou Fang went home together.

As soon as they walked downstairs to their home, Zhou Fang saw Zhou Fang's mother walking downstairs. The two quickly hid. Zhou Fang's mother discovered Song Lin and immediately looked around for Zhou Fang. Song Lin, seeing that she had walked far away, then called Zhou Fang out. When Qin Qing was staying overnight at the hospital, she asked Qin Qing's mother why she had concealed Qin Qing's father's condition from her.

Qin Qing thought it was because she was too bad and had disappointed her parents, which was why her parents didn't trust her. Qin Qing's mother comforted Qin Qing, saying that they had always been very proud of her. It was just that they were too worried about Qin Qing; in their hearts, Qin Qing would always be a child. The next morning, Qin Qing's mother asked Shen Di to stay overnight with her.

Qin Qing was a bit embarrassed, but Qin Qing's mother wanted to set the two of them up, asking Qin Qing to consider Shen Di. However, Qin Qing had always treated Shen Di as an elder brother. Qin Qing's mother also said that if Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were together, everything in the future would be uncertain, and the risks would be too great.

Shen Peipei told Zhou Fang that Wang Zeyang had borrowed money from her friend two days ago. Zhou Fang felt this was an opportunity, so she asked Shen Peipei's friend to trick Wang Zeyang into coming out. That evening, with the cooperation of Shen Peipei's friend, Zhou Fang and Shen Peipei finally found Wang Zeyang. The two tracked him all the way, and when they found Wang Zeyang's home, Wang Zeyang had just been beaten by creditors.

Wang Zeyang was overjoyed to see them arrive, thinking they were there to help him. Wang Zeyang even tried to act pitiful and beg for their help, but both of them were very cold-hearted. Zhou Fang demanded Wang Zeyang destroy the stolen manuscripts, but Wang Zeyang shamelessly asked Zhou Fang for two million. After the two left in a huff, Wang Zeyang called Song Lin, wanting to make a deal with him.

Song Lin met Wang Zeyang and demanded that Wang Zeyang come forward to clarify and apologize, promising not to pursue Wang Zeyang's responsibility. However, Wang Zeyang was very arrogant and left when he saw Song Lin refused to cooperate. After Wang Zeyang left, he drank too much and went to Zhou Fang's parents' house. A passing neighbor saw Wang Zeyang shouting and yelling at the door, so he called Zhou Fang's mother.

Zhou Fang's mother was a bit worried, but when she called home, Zhou Fang's father didn't answer. Zhou Fang's mother quickly called Zhou Fang, and the two rushed home. While they were on the way, Song Lin called. After Song Lin learned that Wang Zeyang had gone to Zhou Fang's parents' house, he also quickly got up and rushed to Zhou Fang's parents' house.

When Zhou Fang and her mother arrived home, Wang Zeyang was holding a knife and threatening Zhou Fang's father. In this critical situation, Song Lin arrived and subdued Wang Zeyang. Zhou Fang immediately called the police and had the police take Wang Zeyang away. The next morning, Zhou Fang went to find Wang Zeyang's mother. Wang Zeyang's mother learned about Wang Zeyang and Zhou Fang's matters and felt somewhat sorry for Zhou Fang.

Wang Zeyang's mother also said that Wang Zeyang owed so many debts because his brother was addicted to gambling and ran up the debts. Zhou Fang chatted with Wang Zeyang's mother for a few moments, and secretly left a bank card for Wang Zeyang's mother when she left. After Zhou Fang returned to her studio, Wang Zeyang suddenly arrived.

Episode 27 Recap

Wang Zeyang said he wasn't there to cause trouble, he just wanted to thank Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang told Wang Zeyang not to misunderstand, she just wanted to help Wang's mother, and it had nothing to do with Wang Zeyang. Wang Zeyang sighed, handed the previous registration certificate to Zhou Fang, and then took out an IOU for Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang, however, told Wang Zeyang to take it back, not to use the IOU as an excuse to contact her. Wang Zeyang wanted to explain. Just then, Song Lin arrived. Seeing the IOU Wang Zeyang gave to Zhou Fang, he didn't understand why Zhou Fang would lend money to Wang Zeyang. Zhou Fang said she wanted to tell Song Lin about this, but she forgot when she got busy.

Zhou Fang wanted to explain that it wasn't money lent to Wang Zeyang, but Song Lin started to accuse Zhou Fang of having no bottom line. Song Lin mistakenly thought Zhou Fang still had feelings for Wang Zeyang, and he left without listening to Zhou Fang's explanation. After Wang Zeyang left, he recorded a video to clarify the truth to the public and apologize to Zhou Fang. The plagiarism incident finally came to an end.

Quanye was very grateful to Zhou Fang for not blaming her, and accepted Zhou Fang's cooperation invitation. Qin Qing wanted to talk to Zuo Yulin about their relationship, but Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing separately received calls from Song Lin and Zhou Fang. Knowing that something must have gone wrong, they didn't continue their conversation. Song Lin found Zuo Yulin to drink and relieve stress, complaining about Zhou Fang to Zuo Yulin.

After Zuo Yulin left, Qin Qing drank alone at home, recalling what her mother had told her, feeling a bit conflicted. After both drank too much, Zuo Yulin sent the drunken Song Lin home. Song Luo happened to meet them downstairs. Song Luo supported Song Lin. Instead of taking Song Lin home, she pushed him into Zhou Fang's house.

Song Lin was passed out drunk; he staggered into the room and collapsed onto the bed, then rolled over and fell off the bed. Zhou Fang came out after washing up, turned off the lights, and got into bed. Not long after she lay down, Song Lin climbed onto the bed. Zhou Fang suddenly found someone next to her, screamed and jumped up in fright.

She turned on the light and was relieved to find it was Song Lin, but she was also angry about his sudden appearance. She tried to drag Song Lin off the bed but couldn't move him. Song Lin also vomited on the bed. The next morning, Zhou Fang called Song Luo to her house for a meal. Song Luo naturally refused to admit that she had brought Song Lin to Zhou Fang's house.

Song Lin also came out of the washroom. Sitting at the dining table, Song Lin felt very embarrassed recalling what happened last night, worried that Zhou Fang would misunderstand that he was pretending to be drunk to approach her. Zhou Fang also deliberately didn't offer any explanation. As Zhou Fang was about to leave after receiving a call from Youyou, Song Lin called out to Zhou Fang, telling her to greet the HR department and add Zhou Fang's order.

However, Zhou Fang refused Song Lin, stating that she would find an OEM factory herself and didn't need Song Lin's help. Shen Peipei came to find Huo Chendong, looking for an excuse to have a meal with him. However, Huo Chendong was somewhat resistant, constantly finding reasons to decline. Shen Peipei felt a bit disappointed, thinking that Huo Chendong still had prejudice against her because of previous events.

After Qin Qing found out, she encouraged Shen Peipei to take things slowly and advised her not to be so reckless when approaching Huo Chendong next time. After they chatted for a few sentences, Shen Peipei expressed some envy for the relationship between Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin. However, Qin Qing said wistfully that even if two people liked each other, they might not end up together. Song Lin and Chen Chen came to Xiaofei's company.

After touring, Song Lin asked Zuo Yulin if he was the one who sent him home that night. Zuo Yulin answered each question. Only then did Song Lin realize that he went to Zhou Fang's house because of Song Luo. Zhou Fang contacted Director Du of the processing factory, wanting to meet him to discuss OEM matters.

Just as Zhou Fang arranged to meet Director Du, Song Lin, who was looking across from her building, called Zhou Fang and asked if she was missing him. Zhou Fang hung up the phone and closed the curtains to prevent him from looking anymore. Qin Qing asked Zuo Yulin to go out for a walk with her. Qin Qing broke up with Zuo Yulin, saying that their relationship had long exceeded its term and should end.

Zuo Yulin asked what the reason for the breakup was. Qin Qing said she wanted to put her parents at ease, but Zuo Yulin couldn't provide her with stability, telling Zuo Yulin to find a girl more suitable for him, as an older sister like her was simply not suitable for Zuo Yulin.

However, Zuo Yulin said there was no such thing as an "older sister-younger brother" relationship in the world; his love for Qin Qing was simply a man's love for a woman. Qin Qing did not budge and still left. Although Qin Qing resolutely broke up with Zuo Yulin, she was still very sad inside, unsure how to interact with Zuo Yulin in the future. Qin Qing decided to pull herself together and strive for her dreams.

Qin Qing, Zhou Fang, and Shen Peipei were drinking and chatting together when Zhou Fang's doorbell suddenly rang. Zhou Fang opened the door and found no one, only seeing a bag of food on the ground.

Episode 28 Recap

The next morning, Zhou Fang went to Suzhou to talk to Director Du about cooperation. Director Du was hesitant and asked Zhou Fang for some time to consider. After Zhou Fang and Director Du finished their meal, it started pouring rain, so Zhou Fang drove Director Du back. The two chatted congenially, and Director Du greatly admired Zhou Fang. After returning to the factory, Director Du immediately decided to accept Zhou Fang's order. Zhou Fang thanked him repeatedly.

Having settled the OEM matter, Zhou Fang prepared to return. Song Lin went to Song Luo's parent-teacher conference at school. On their way home, Song Lin asked Song Luo to help him ask Zhou Fang when she would return from Suzhou. To get pocket money, Song Luo compromised and called Zhou Fang, learning that Zhou Fang was already on the highway. Not long after Song Luo and Zhou Fang finished their call, a truck illegally changed lanes on the highway.

Zhou Fang couldn't dodge in time and had to brake urgently. Song Lin and Song Luo also saw Zhou Fang's car appear in the accident news on TV. Song Lin was extremely anxious and quickly drove to the accident scene. When Song Lin arrived at the scene, he ignored the traffic police's attempts to stop him, wanting to rush in to find Zhou Fang. The commotion startled the traffic police who were questioning Zhou Fang.

The several people looked at Song Lin. Song Lin saw Zhou Fang standing well in front of him, only then did he feel relieved. He could no longer hold back and stepped forward to hug Zhou Fang. After Song Lin brought Zhou Fang home, he silently began to boil ginger soup for Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang saw Song Lin frowning, so she playfully begged Song Lin not to be angry anymore. Only then did Song Lin's expression soften a bit.

While feeding Zhou Fang the ginger soup, he began to lecture her. Zhou Fang dared not retort, silently listening to Song Lin's concern for her. After Zhou Fang rested, the two talked about the previous press conference. Song Lin felt a bit guilty. Although Zhou Fang had been a bit angry before, she had let go of the matter after understanding it.

After the false alarm, the atmosphere between the two finally eased, and they no longer sulked at each other. To get closer to Huo Chendong, Shen Peipei dressed as a mascot handing out flyers at the entrance of Huo Chendong's company. When Shen Peipei saw Huo Chendong come out, she ran over, wanting to greet him, but she was caught by a passing bicycle. Just as she was about to fall, Huo Chendong quickly reached out and supported Shen Peipei.

Shen Peipei became even more smitten with Huo Chendong. Not long after, Huo Chendong discovered Shen Peipei's identity. Huo Chendong did not want to see Shen Peipei again and told her not to come anymore. Shen Peipei was a bit sad. Quan Ye came to Zhou Fang's studio and helped Zhou Fang resolve the issues with models and the photography studio.

After Quan Ye and Zhou Fang cleared up their past misunderstandings, he sincerely cooperated with Zhou Fang and helped Zhou Fang's studio to the best of his ability. Zhou Fang was just about to show Quan Ye around the studio when Zhou Fang's mother called her, wanting her to come out and go shopping with her. Zhou Fang was busy with work and truly had no time.

Zhou Fang's mother ostensibly wanted Zhou Fang to accompany her shopping, but in reality, she wanted to set up Huo Chendong and Zhou Fang again. However, Huo Chendong knew that Zhou Fang only had friendly feelings for him. He didn't want to force Zhou Fang. When Zhou Fang's mother saw that Huo Chendong also had thoughts of giving up, she felt a bit disheartened. After Zhou Fang's mother returned home, she started complaining to Zhou Fang's father.

Zhou Fang's mother was worried about Zhou Fang and wanted to check up on her, but to avoid being discovered by Zhou Fang, Zhou Fang's mother decided to pretend to go on a trip. After Song Lin learned that Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing had broken up, he wanted to give Zuo Yulin two days off to adjust his state. But Zuo Yulin refused, saying that he was now entirely focused on work.

Song Lin comforted Zuo Yulin, saying that perhaps after being apart for a while, knowing what life is like without each other, they would slowly figure things out. Zhou Fang was in Qin Qing's studio, watching her draw design drafts. Qin Qing had hit a bit of a bottleneck. Zhou Fang advised her, saying that the quality of a design still depends on whether it can bring a good user experience to the client.

Episode 29 Recap

Qin Qing and Zhou Fang were talking about design when Shen Peipei suddenly called Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was a bit angry after learning that Huo Chendong had verbally abused Shen Peipei and wanted to call Huo Chendong to ask what happened. Shen Peipei stopped Zhou Fang, saying that if Huo Chendong knew, he would hate her even more. Shen Peipei sighed, feeling that her behavior was indeed annoying.

Zhou Fang wanted to take Shen Peipei out to dinner to comfort her, but Shen Peipei said she had to go back to rush a manuscript. As soon as Zhou Fang sent Shen Peipei away, Zhou Fang's mother began to implement her plan, calling Zhou Fang and lying that she was going to travel with Zhou Fang's father. Zhou Fang felt relieved after hearing the news, thinking she could finally have some peace and quiet for a few days.

After Qin Qing returned home, she found that Zuo Yulin had been there. Zuo Yulin had filled the refrigerator with food and cooked a table full of dishes for Qin Qing. He left a note reminding Qin Qing to eat on time. Qin Qing was a bit moved and started to miss Zuo Yulin. As Qin Qing ate the food Zuo Yulin cooked, she couldn't help but cry.

That evening, while Zhou Fang and Song Lin were on a date at home, Zhou Fang's mother suddenly showed up to check on them. Song Lin was a bit flustered, but thinking that he would have to face Zhou Fang's mother eventually, he told Zhou Fang to open the door. However, Zhou Fang was not psychologically prepared and told Song Lin to quickly hide. Song Lin had no choice but to hide on the balcony.

After Zhou Fang's mother entered, she started looking around. Zhou Fang's mother observed Zhou Fang's reaction and felt that she had a guilty conscience. Just as Zhou Fang's mother was about to search the balcony, it seemed like they couldn't hide it any longer. Song Luo rushed to the rescue, saying that Song Lin was lying at home and not even cooking for her, so she asked Zhou Fang's mother to cook for her instead.

Seeing Song Luo say this, Zhou Fang's mother stopped her search and decided to cook for Song Luo first. Seeing the opportunity, Song Luo and Zhou Fang quickly covered for Song Lin to leave. After the close call, Song Lin asked Zhou Fang how she planned to solve their problem. Zhou Fang wanted to take a long-term view. Zhou Fang was just texting Song Lin when she suddenly heard Zhou Fang's mother talking on the phone.

Zhou Fang quickly put down her phone. After finishing her call, Zhou Fang's mother asked Zhou Fang what she was really thinking. Just as Zhou Fang was about to speak, Zhou Fang's mother interrupted her, vehemently opposing her relationship with Song Lin. Zhou Fang's mother felt that Song Lin's feelings for Zhou Fang were just a fleeting novelty and was very resistant to Song Lin.

Zhou Fang wanted her mother to get to know Song Lin first, but Zhou Fang's mother was also very resistant. She only hoped Zhou Fang would have a plain, ordinary relationship. Zhou Fang was busy in her studio when Song Lin called her. Song Lin suggested that after this busy period, Zhou Fang should take him to meet her father, to win him over and flatter him.

Zhou Fang reminded Song Lin not to flatter him at all, as her father hated flattery the most. Zhou Fang decided to speak good words about Song Lin to her father. Zhou Fang felt that since they had encountered so many things, their relationship would definitely develop in a good direction in the future. After hanging up, Song Lin went with Chen Chen to Xiao Fei's tech company to check the progress of the virtual try-on software development.

Zuo Yulin proposed to Song Lin to send a designer to assist with the software design and development, and recommended Zhou Fang to Song Lin. Zuo Yulin thought Zhou Fang's design skills were definitely good, and since she was an acquaintance, it wouldn't take much effort to integrate with the team. However, Song Lin was worried that Zhou Fang's side had just gotten on track, and participating in this R&D might make Zhou Fang too tired.

Song Lin decided to discuss this with Zhou Fang after the shopping festival. When Zhou Fang was about to leave work, she wanted to invite Song Lin to dinner, but Song Lin was busy working overtime. Zhou Fang had no choice but to go find Qin Qing and Shen Peipei to eat together. While Shen Peipei was ordering dishes, Huo Chendong called Qin Qing. Qin Qing talked with Huo Chendong for a few minutes and arranged to meet him later.

After the few of them finished eating, Song Lin's overtime work also ended. He collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. Zhou Fang suddenly appeared, giving Song Lin a surprise, and also brought him his favorite food. The atmosphere between them became romantic, and as their feelings deepened, Song Lin kissed Zhou Fang. Meanwhile, Qin Qing specifically took Shen Peipei to meet Huo Chendong, wanting to create an opportunity for the two of them to spend time together.

However, Shen Peipei didn't realize this and thought Qin Qing really wanted to discuss financial matters with Huo Chendong. But Shen Peipei had already agreed to help Huo Chendong walk his dog, so she couldn't go back on her word. While Shen Peipei was walking Huo Chendong's dog, she saw a little girl nearby almost hit by a bicycle, so she rushed forward and pulled the little girl back.

The little girl was not injured, but Huo Chendong's dog Luka ran away. Shen Peipei was a bit anxious and searched everywhere in the park. As she was searching, Shen Peipei's phone also ran out of battery. Qin Qing couldn't contact Shen Peipei and was also worried, so she started searching with Huo Chendong. When Huo Chendong found Shen Peipei, he was a bit angry that Luka was missing.

But seeing that Shen Peipei had worn out her feet looking for Luka, Huo Chendong couldn't bring himself to blame her and could only tell Shen Peipei to go back first. Shen Peipei looked at Huo Chendong's expression and felt that Huo Chendong must hate her more and more.

Episode 30 Recap

Qin Qing comforted Shen Peipei not to overthink, saying Luca would definitely find his way home. Shen Peipei was still worried and asked Qin Qing to call Huo Chendong to ask. As a result, Luca was still not found. Shen Peipei was sad and guilty, so she went to print missing dog posters and put them up in the neighborhood near Huo Chendong. With Shen Peipei's efforts, Luca was finally found. Huo Chendong was overjoyed. Huo Chendong thanked Shen Peipei.

As he was about to leave, Shen Peipei called out to Huo Chendong, wanting to have dinner with him. Huo Chendong, however, said he had already eaten. As Shen Peipei was about to leave disappointedly, Huo Chendong took the initiative to ask her out for dinner tomorrow night. The Shopping Festival was approaching. With Song Lin's help, Zhou Fang's new brand immediately gained traffic after its launch and received a large number of orders.

In the evening, Zuo Yulin found Zhou Fang, wanting to talk to her about the technology company. Zhou Fang agreed without hesitation after only listening to a few words from Zuo Yulin, and also offered many of her own insights. Song Lin called Chen Chen and asked him to help recalculate the budget for the R&D project. To avoid restricting R&D progress, Song Lin planned to seek capital intervention after the Shopping Festival.

Chen Chen reminded Song Lin that if capital intervened and the R&D was successful in the future, the technology would not belong solely to Song Lin. However, Song Lin was open-minded, feeling that this technology would be shared sooner or later. Zhou Fang's new brand sold very well, and inventory quickly ran low. Zhou Fang called Director Wang at the factory to add another batch of goods.

After finally finishing up work at her studio, Zhou Fang collapsed onto the sofa to rest after returning home. Across the way, Song Lin tried every possible way to attract Zhou Fang's attention, wanting to visit her at her home. The next morning, a reporter from Today's News suddenly called Zhou Fang, claiming that Zhou Fang's brand had quality issues, leading to many consumers experiencing allergic reactions. Zhou Fang was very surprised.

As soon as this matter came out, the internet was filled with news about it. Zhou Fang tried to find out where the problem lay, but could not contact the supplier, so she could only arrange refunds for consumers first. Zhou Fang then went to Wanfeng Group to find Song Lin, saying that this incident was her responsibility and asking Song Lin to prioritize Wanfeng Group's interests.

Song Lin, however, disagreed, saying that he would protect Zhou Fang, as it was his promise to her. Song Lin comforted Zhou Fang not to overthink. Wanfeng Group held another emergency meeting. Chen Chen had already investigated and found that the clothing problem lay with the dye. Several subordinates demanded that Song Lin draw a clear line between himself and Zhou Fang's brand, making Zhou Fang bear the responsibility herself.

However, Song Lin said that drawing a clear line could not solve the fundamental problem. If the fundamental problem was not resolved, what would they do if similar problems arose in the future? One of the subordinates suspected that this matter was related to Baisai Group and suggested that Song Lin use the opponent's own methods against them. After Su Yushan returned home, his wife was watching news about Zhou Fang's brand having an incident.

Seeing him, she asked if he was behind it. Su Yushan did not deny it, only saying that he could take the opportunity to acquire shares of Wanfeng Group. This way, there would be no more competitors in the country who could threaten him. Su Yushan's wife was somewhat angry but found it hard to say anything, only suggesting to Su Yushan that he should get some good rest after the acquisition was completed. Su Yushan agreed.

Qin Qing saw that Zhou Fang was depressed, so she took her out for a drink. Zhou Fang talked about how Song Lin wanted to protect her and take responsibility for this incident, and she felt a bit sorry for Song Lin. However, Qin Qing comforted her not to overthink, feeling that it was a good thing that Song Lin could protect her. After Zhou Fang returned home, Song Lin also returned from being busy at the company.

Song Lin assured Zhou Fang that he would definitely be able to protect her this time. Zhou Fang wrote an apology letter, intending to publicly apologize to the public. Shen Peipei advised Zhou Fang to wait a bit, but Zhou Fang did not want to wait anymore. As the two were talking, Qin Qing suddenly arrived, saying that Zhou Fang could not wait any longer because she felt sorry for Song Lin.

Episode 31 Recap

Zhou Fang persuaded Qin Qing to send out the apology letter. Meanwhile, at Wanfeng Group, Song Lin was holding a meeting with the shareholders. A subordinate proposed that Baisai Group acquire Wanfeng Group, but Song Lin strongly objected. Nevertheless, several wavering shareholders wanted to cash out their equity. After the meeting, Song Lin was a bit angry when he saw the apology letter sent by Zhou Fang.

Chen Chen comforted Song Lin, saying that although Zhou Fang's action was rash, it was ultimately to help Wanfeng Group restore its reputation. After sending the apology letter, Zhou Fang contacted Lawyer Shen and prepared to sue the supplier. After this mistake, Zhou Fang decided that she must personally oversee such procedures in the future to prevent any further errors.

After Song Lin returned home exhausted, Song Luo unexpectedly poured him a glass of water and comforted him, saying he would surely solve the current difficulties. Song Lin was somewhat relieved, feeling that Song Luo had truly grown up recently. After Song Luo comforted Song Lin for a few words, she went to do her homework. Song Lin then called Zhou Fang to ask her to go for a walk. They walked to the riverside.

Zhou Fang told Song Lin not to blame her; she just wanted to share the burden with him. She wanted to tell Song Lin that she could also protect him, and that he could tell her any emotions he had. She liked the real Song Lin, not the decisive and vigorous Song Lin outside. Song Lin was touched. Song Lin found Teacher Cheng.

Teacher Cheng was the one who brought Song Lin into the industry, and Song Lin deeply respected her. Teacher Cheng thought highly of Song Lin and decided to give him her shares in Wanfeng Group. Teacher Cheng seemed to know the past between Su Yushan and Song Lin, feeling that Su Yushan was too obsessed with the "April" brand. Song Lin promised Teacher Cheng that he would work hard to make April go further.

Teacher Cheng then mentioned that Song Lin had a new girlfriend and asked him to bring Zhou Fang to meet her. Zhou Fang's father was a bit worried about Zhou Fang, so he went to Zhou Fang's house to visit. Seeing that Zhou Fang was in good spirits and very confident in resolving the matter, Zhou Fang's father was much relieved. Before leaving, Zhou Fang's father told her to come home for dinner on the weekend.

Su Yushan acquired Wanfeng Group's equity at a high price. Now Su Yushan holds 51% of Wanfeng Group's shares, becoming its controlling shareholder. Su Yushan arrogantly arrived at Wanfeng Group and declared his sovereignty to Song Lin. Song Lin was unwilling to work with Su Yushan, refused to cooperate, and ordered him to leave. Su Yushan asked his assistant and Chen Chen to step out first.

After they left, Su Yushan triumphantly said that Song Lin had lost, that he had finally taken back "April" and incidentally acquired Wanfeng Group. Song Lin, however, said that if he lost, he lost, but he would win it back sooner or later. Zuo Yulin told Zhou Fang the news about Wanfeng Group's trouble. Zhou Fang was a bit worried and messaged Song Lin.

Song Lin, however, only said he was too busy these days and would contact her after he finished. Zhou Fang was uneasy, but since Song Lin wouldn't tell her, she didn't want to disturb him. She had no choice but to ask Song Luo to help check on Song Lin's situation and inform her promptly if anything happened. The news that Su Yushan was going to take over Wanfeng Group spread throughout the company. Chen Chen was a bit disheartened.

He didn't want to work for Su Yushan. Song Lin told him to focus on his current tasks and not think about anything else. General Manager Song also represented the company executives to express their resolve to Song Lin, deciding to stand with him and fight a comeback battle together. Song Lin thanked them for their kindness, but he really didn't know how to turn the situation around.

His departure from Wanfeng Group would be an opportunity to think about his future direction. Song Lin returned home after work. Zhou Fang was waiting downstairs. He told Zhou Fang that he planned to transfer his shares in Wanfeng Group and would also leave Wanfeng Group. As soon as Zhou Fang heard this, she asked Song Lin to terminate her contract with Wanfeng Group. However, Song Lin didn't want Zhou Fang to compromise herself by giving up Wanfeng Group's resources. He hoped Zhou Fang wouldn't abandon her development opportunities because of his situation.

Episode 32 Recap

Song Lin didn't want Zhou Fang to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed in front of her. After watching Zhou Fang go home, Song Lin secretly sighed. After returning home, Song Lin was so tired that he fell asleep directly on the sofa. Song Luo felt a little sorry for her brother, but all she could do was cover him with a blanket. The next morning, Song Lin packed his belongings, wanting to quietly leave the company.

However, what he didn't expect was that the employees of Wafeng Group were already lined up outside to see him off. Song Lin was a little moved, but he didn't show his emotions, only encouraged the employees to work hard, and then left with his things. Just as Song Lin walked out of the company, he found Zhou Fang also waiting for him at the company entrance.

Zhou Fang took the items from Song Lin's hand, looked at Song Lin and said that even if Song Lin lost everything, she would still be by his side. Lawyer Shen invited Qin Qing to dinner. Qin Qing found it hard to refuse. Lawyer Shen said his parents had visited Qin Qing's father in the hospital. Lawyer Shen also suggested that once Qin Qing's father was discharged, their two families could go out together to relax.

Qin Qing was not very enthusiastic, only saying they would see then. Zuo Yulin was busy at the company. He wanted to call Qin Qing, but he didn't know what to say, so he put down his phone again. Because of the dye problem this time, Zhou Fang learned her lesson and decided to use healthier and more natural botanical dyeing techniques for ready-to-wear garments in the future, to avoid similar problems from happening again.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Fang also made a more precise positioning for her studio. After Zhou Fang finished work and returned home, Song Lin, who had nothing to do, was already waiting for her at home. The two snuggled on the sofa, leaning against each other and watching a movie, feeling warm and happy. The next morning, Song Lin took Zhou Fang to Wang He's motorcycle shop. Song Lin also gave Zhou Fang a motorcycle.

As the two left the shop, Song Lin rode the bike to take Zhou Fang to her studio. Just as they got off, Lawyer Shen and Qin Qing also arrived. Lawyer Shen wanted to talk to Zhou Fang about the follow-up of the compensation. After Song Lin learned that Lawyer Shen was actively pursuing Qin Qing, he became a little worried about Zuo Yulin, so he went to the tech company to talk to Zuo Yulin.

Zuo Yulin was not in a good state, he hadn't emerged from the shadow of his breakup. However, his career had just started and couldn't yet meet Qin Qing's standards in her heart. All he could do was not disturb Qin Qing. Seeing this, Song Lin didn't say much more, instructing Zuo Yulin to prepare a business plan to raise funds for the tech company.

Song Lin wanted to sell his shares, but under Su Yushan's pressure, no one dared to take over his shares. Song Lin accidentally ran into Huo Chendong, who had also heard about the Wafeng Group's affairs, so he invited Song Lin to chat. Song Lin had nothing else to do, so he agreed to sit down with him. The two talked about Zhou Fang.

Huo Chendong indeed couldn't let go at first, but when he saw the way Zhou Fang looked at Song Lin, he knew Zhou Fang's feelings for Song Lin. He just didn't want to miss this opportunity himself. The two then talked about work. Seeing Song Lin troubled by the financing issue, Huo Chendong offered to help him, acting as Song Lin's investment consultant to find overseas capital for him.

Song Lin agreed to cooperate with Huo Chendong, and Huo Chendong quickly found several overseas companies that met his requirements. After Song Lin returned home, Song Luo handed him her report card. Song Luo had kept her promise to Song Lin, getting into the top ten. Seeing Song Lin silent, Song Luo worried he might go back on his word.

Song Lin turned around and brought her a file bag, which contained all the preparations Song Lin had made for her studying abroad. Song Luo was a little moved; in places she couldn't see, Song Lin had already made all the arrangements for her overseas study. Song Luo promised Song Lin that she would study hard and become his pride in the future. Song Lin, however, said that Song Luo had always been his pride.

Song Lin worried that Song Luo might start dating Shen Di prematurely after going abroad, so he specifically called Shen Di, instructing him to take good care of Song Luo. He told them that they were still young now, and if they really wanted to be together, they should wait until they were adults.

Episode 33 Recap

Zhou Fang was originally going on an outing with Song Lin, but Quan Ye introduced a female artist to Zhou Fang for custom clothing. The two could only reschedule their date for another day. The female artist came to Zhou Fang's studio to try on clothes. Zhou Fang was a bit distracted, and Quan Ye quickly pulled Zhou Fang's thoughts back, telling her to focus on the current task.

The female artist was very satisfied with Zhou Fang's design and promised Zhou Fang that she would introduce other friends. After work, Zhou Fang asked Song Lin to go to an art exhibition together on Saturday, considering it compensation for their missed date. Just after finishing the call with Song Lin, Sun Qiang, the head of Baizai Group's events department, called Zhou Fang.

Sun Qiang told Zhou Fang that Baizai Group would hold an event dinner at Nanchen Hotel this Saturday. Sun Qiang invited Zhou Fang to attend the dinner. Before Zhou Fang could refuse, Sun Qiang hung up the phone. Zhou Fang was a bit conflicted. After Song Lin learned about it, he told Zhou Fang to attend the dinner, saying that meeting more designers would also help her future work.

Zuo Yulin went to the hospital wanting to visit Qin Qing's father. He happened to run into Lawyer Shen and Lawyer Shen's mother coming out of the ward. After Zuo Yulin heard that Lawyer Shen was going to marry Qin Qing, he felt extremely sad. He placed the gift at the ward door and left. Zuo Yulin drowned his sorrows in alcohol alone. Song Lin saw Zuo Yulin's dejected appearance, sat beside him, and started drinking with him.

After Zuo Yulin got drunk, Song Lin could only take him home to take care of him. Huo Chendong introduced two representatives from Nelson Capital, Chandler and Charles, to Song Lin. Charles had tried his best to understand Wanfeng Group during this time, but he felt that Wanfeng Group's stock price was a bit high and was concerned about high acquisition risks.

Song Lin carefully explained Wanfeng Group's situation, hoping that Nelson Capital could open up overseas markets after acquiring Wanfeng Group. But Charles only wanted to enter the Chinese market through Wanfeng Group. Seeing that their philosophies were inconsistent, Song Lin politely declined the two. Song Lin was about to leave when Huo Chendong called out to him, asking how the discussion went for Song Lin.

Song Lin told him truthfully, but he also knew that Huo Chendong had done his best. Huo Chendong mentioned that he had a very good investment candidate, but this person was too individualistic and difficult for ordinary people to deal with. Song Lin became interested upon hearing this. Song Luo was about to study abroad. Song Lin picked up Song Luo and brought her home, then had a meal at home with Zhou Fang.

After dinner, Zhou Fang walked into the elevator, intending to go home. As the elevator door was about to close, Song Lin walked into the elevator and went back with Zhou Fang. The two embraced and kissed as they entered, completely unaware that Zhou Fang's mother was at home. The two suddenly found Zhou Fang's mother sitting beside the sofa, watching them. The two instantly froze. Zhou Fang's mother's expression was one of clear distaste.

The two quickly separated, and the scene was extremely awkward. Zhou Fang asked her why she came without saying hello. Zhou Fang's mother, however, asked when Zhou Fang had planned to hide it from her if she hadn't encountered them today. Song Lin said that he truly liked Zhou Fang and wanted to be in a good relationship with her. Zhou Fang's mother was furious and told Song Lin not to even think about it.

Zhou Fang's mother wanted to talk to Song Lin privately, so she asked Song Lin to take her home. On the way back, Zhou Fang's mother asked Song Lin if he truly understood Zhou Fang. Song Lin said that he was in the process of getting to know Zhou Fang. He knew what Zhou Fang's mother was worried about, so he assured her that his feelings for Zhou Fang were genuine.

He also wanted to have a long-term relationship with Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang's mother then asked about the online rumors regarding Song Lin's fiancée. Song Lin explained that those things were false, and he would use his future time to prove to her that he truly liked Zhou Fang and could protect her well. After this conversation, Zhou Fang's mother softened and her attitude towards Song Lin was no longer so tough.

On his way home, a worried Zhou Fang quickly called Song Lin to inquire about the situation. After learning that Zhou Fang's mother agreed to their relationship, Zhou Fang was greatly surprised and also relieved. In Zhou Fang's studio, Youyou excitedly told Zhou Fang that her idol's agent had called the company. He wanted Zhou Fang to custom-make clothes for him. Zhou Fang was a bit puzzled and quickly asked who introduced them. Youyou said that Su Yushan introduced them.

Zhou Fang became even more confused, wondering what Su Yushan's intention was in doing this. At the art exhibition, Song Lin was looking at a painting. He overheard people nearby talking about gossip regarding painter Lin Yun and his ex-girlfriend. No sooner had the two finished speaking than someone who appeared to be Lin Yun's ex-girlfriend bumped into Song Lin. The wine in Song Lin's hand spilled all over him.

Not only did Lin Yun's ex-girlfriend not apologize, but she also caused a scene in the exhibition hall. She demanded Lin Yun come out and clarify things face-to-face. Lin Yun's ex-girlfriend took down a portrait from the wall, forbidding Lin Yun from exhibiting it. Lin Yun was firm and had his ex-girlfriend escorted out. Song Lin left the art exhibition to find Huo Chendong.

When the investor representative arrived, Song Lin was surprised to find that the representative, Ling Xi, was the very person who had just caused a scene at the art exhibition. At the banquet, Su Yushan took the initiative to speak to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang asked Su Yushan why he helped introduce clients to her. Su Yushan said he appreciated Zhou Fang's talent, and this was considered a gesture of goodwill towards Zhou Fang.

Su Yushan had read Zhou Fang's business plan and knew that Zhou Fang wanted to create a concept store for custom clothing. Although the plan was very immature, he was very interested in the concept Zhou Fang proposed. Zhou Fang was a bit strange, not understanding why Su Yushan would be interested in a non-profit concept.

Episode 34 Recap

Song Lin picked up Zhou Fang from the evening banquet. Zhou Fang mentioned that Su Yushan wanted to invest in her concept gallery. Although Song Lin supported Zhou Fang, he was a little worried that Su Yushan would take advantage of Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang promised Song Lin that she would be cautious in her interactions with Su Yushan. After they finished talking about work, Zhou Fang invited Song Lin to dance, but Song Lin couldn't seem to cheer up.

At the hospital, Attorney Shen brought fruit to visit Qin Qing's father, but Qin Qing dismissed Attorney Shen with a few words. Qin Qing's father, seeing Qin Qing's attitude towards Attorney Shen, knew what she was thinking. He wanted Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin to set a date for their wedding. Qin Qing told him her concerns, but Qin Qing's father reassured her, saying that life is a series of gambles, and nothing can be predicted in advance.

Qin Qing's father told Qin Qing to make the choice that would satisfy herself, and he would agree no matter who she chose. Song Lin went to see Teacher Cheng, who asked Song Lin to go with her to see a project out of town on the weekend. Song Lin mentioned that he couldn't find a buyer and couldn't sell the shares he had.

Teacher Cheng comforted Song Lin, saying that the time just wasn't right yet, and a buyer would definitely acquire Song Lin's shares. Zhou Fang still wanted to realize her concept store. She found Su Yushan and started discussing the cooperation. Zhou Fang asked Su Yushan why he was helping her. Su Yushan had to tell Zhou Fang that, besides admiring her talent, it was also because Zhou Fan resembled an old friend of his who had passed away.

After Zhou Fang returned home, Song Lin packed his luggage for a business trip, mentioning that he was now working with Huo Chen Dong and asked Zhou Fang to help take care of Song Luo these few days. To thank Huo Chen Dong, Zhou Fang treated him to a meal. Huo Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, but still asked Zhou Fang if she had ever liked him when they were in college.

Seeing that Zhou Fang didn't speak, Huo Chen Dong thought that the question had upset Zhou Fang and was about to skip the topic, but Zhou Fang said that she did like Huo Chen Dong. However, at the time, she thought that Huo Chen Dong liked Qin Qing, so she didn't dare to think too much. Because of this, Zhou Fang really treated Huo Chen Dong as a good brother.

Zhou Fang said this not to make Huo Chen Dong regret anything, but to say that relationships between people depend on fate. Since they didn't end up together, it meant they weren't meant to be together. Zhou Fang encouraged Huo Chen Dong to look forward and find the person he was destined to be with. Huo Chen Dong felt relieved after hearing Zhou Fang's words. After returning home that night, Zhou Fang started to have a fever.

After a day, the fever hadn't subsided, so Zhou Fang had to go to the hospital. Zhou Fang didn't want her parents and Song Lin to worry, so she didn't tell them about being hospitalized, only asking Qin Qing to come see her. Song Lin was worried because he couldn't reach Zhou Fang, so he asked Song Luo to check on her.

Song Luo was worried after learning that Zhou Fang was hospitalized, but Zhou Fang asked Song Luo to keep it a secret and not tell Song Lin. After Qin Qing arrived at the hospital, the doctor told her that Zhou Fang had the flu and just needed to receive the corresponding treatment. Meanwhile, Zuo Yulin also came to the hospital because of a fever and was also required by the doctor to be hospitalized.

Zuo Yulin happened to be in the bed next to Zhou Fang. Qin Qing felt a little awkward seeing Zuo Yulin, but she still felt sorry for him, so she went to Zuo Yulin's house to get him a change of clothes. Qin Qing ran into Zuo Yulin's mother while waiting for the elevator after getting the clothes. Zuo's mother called Zuo Yulin when she found him not at home.

Zuo Yulin didn't want her to worry, so he lied and said he was on a business trip. Zhou Fang felt that people are sometimes really strange. When something happens, they often hide it from the people closest to them because they don't want them to worry. Sick in bed, Zhou Fang suddenly missed Song Lin very much.

Song Lin always seemed so positive and cheerful in front of her, but only when he was alone did Zhou Fang see Song Lin's lonely side. Zhou Fang didn't want her illness to delay Song Lin's work. At night, Song Lin was calling Zhou Fang, but Zhou Fang was sound asleep and didn't hear it. Zuo Yulin heard the ringing and wanted to wake Zhou Fang up, but found that Zhou Fang was unconscious.

Zuo Yulin quickly called for a nurse. Zhou Fang had a lung infection and was sent to the emergency room. Song Lin was talking to investor Xu and Ling Xi about selling his shares when Song Luo, anxious and scared, called Song Lin, crying and telling Song Lin to come back quickly. Hearing that something had happened to Zhou Fang, Song Lin didn't care to say more, apologized to the two and left. Ling Xi chased after him, wanting Song Lin to stay calm and stay to continue the meeting, but Song Lin couldn't listen. He apologized again and left.

Episode 35 Recap

Song Lin drove back overnight. Zhou Fang was transferred to the intensive care unit. Qin Qing was guarding outside the intensive care unit. Zuo Yulin saw the tired Qin Qing leaning on a lounge chair, so he put his jacket over her. Qin Qing was woken up by the movement, and the two awkwardly chatted for a few minutes. Qin Qing was unwilling to show too much concern for Zuo Yulin.

After Zuo Yulin left, Song Lin called Qin Qing and asked how Zhou Fang was doing. Qin Qing was afraid that Song Lin would get agitated, so she did not tell Song Lin that Zhou Fang was in the intensive care unit. The next morning, Song Lin rushed to the hospital, but family members were not allowed to visit in the intensive care unit. Song Lin could only wait outside.

Soon, two doctors walked into the intensive care unit to rescue the patient next to Zhou Fang. Song Lin was worried about Zhou Fang's safety, but he could do nothing. Zhou Fang watched as the patient next door could not be saved, a life slipping away before her eyes, and she couldn't help but cry.

After the doctors came out, they told Song Lin that Zhou Fang's condition had stabilized and she could be transferred to a regular ward after another half-day of observation. After Zhou Fang was transferred to a regular ward, Song Lin finally felt a little relieved. He then asked Zhou Fang why she didn't tell him about her illness. Zhou Fang felt a little wronged, saying that she just didn't want Song Lin to worry.

Song Lin instructed Zhou Fang to tell him immediately about anything that happens in the future, otherwise, he would never see her again. Song Lin looked at Zhou Fang's weak appearance and couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so he hugged her and comforted her. Although Zhou Fang was out of danger, the scene she witnessed in the intensive care unit left a psychological shadow on her. She couldn't sleep well at night and always had nightmares.

Song Luo saw that Song Lin didn't look well and asked him about Zhou Fang's condition. Song Lin told her that Zhou Fang couldn't sleep at night and had no appetite for food. He was somewhat worried about Zhou Fang's condition recurring. Song Luo mentioned how Song Lin used to coax her to sleep when she was sick. Song Lin took the hint.

To help Zhou Fang sleep peacefully, Song Lin asked a nurse to give Zhou Fang a pair of headphones. He told stories into her ear through the headphones to coax her to sleep. With Song Lin's companionship, Zhou Fang finally had a good night's sleep. The next morning, Zhou Fang ate breakfast while video chatting with Song Lin and even joked that she wanted Song Lin to perform a striptease for her.

After Huo Chendong and Shen Peipei learned about Zhou Fang's illness, they wanted to visit her in the hospital, but Qin Qing told them that they wouldn't be able to see Zhou Fang even if they went to the hospital, so the two had no choice but to give up. Shen Peipei then told Qin Qing not to worry too much about Zuo Yulin.

Qin Qing was stubborn and refused to admit it, instead teasing Shen Peipei and Huo Chendong to change the subject. The negotiations between Song Lin and Ling Xi were halted, and other hesitant buyers also began to withdraw. The current situation was very unfavorable for Song Lin, but Song Lin was also worried that Zhou Fang would blame herself if she knew, so he instructed Huo Chendong not to tell Qin Qing and Zhou Fang about this.

Zhou Fang's condition improved, and she had already been discharged, but Zuo Yulin's illness had not yet improved. Zhou Fang knew Qin Qing was worried, so she called Zuo Yulin on Qin Qing's behalf, but Zuo Yulin's phone was turned off. Qin Qing's heart sank, and she had a bad premonition. She didn't bother to say more to Zhou Fang and rushed to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, she found that Zuo Yulin was not in his bed.

The patient next door told Qin Qing that a patient had just been sent for emergency resuscitation. Qin Qing heard the news like a bolt from the blue and rushed to the emergency room recklessly, but was stopped by a nurse. Qin Qing became even more worried about Zuo Yulin, unable to control her sad emotions, and knelt down by the emergency room door, weeping bitterly.

Episode 36 Recap

Qin Qing was crying bitterly when Zuo Yulin appeared perfectly fine in front of her. Hearing his voice, Qin Qing looked up and, seeing Zuo Yulin safe and sound, approached him with a mix of surprise and fear and hugged him. Zuo Yulin looked at Qin Qing and knew that she still had feelings for him. He wanted to push himself one more time and proposed reconciliation to Qin Qing, asking her to give him another chance.

Qin Qing also realized that she truly loved Zuo Yulin in her heart, so she agreed. After they reconciled, Zuo Yulin went to the hospital to visit Qin Qing's father. Lawyer Shen saw Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin in the ward and knew that Qin Qing had made her choice, so he no longer bothered her. Qin Qing thanked Lawyer Shen for taking care of her father during this period.

Song Luo received her admission letter, and Song Lin and Zhou Fang began to arrange things for Song Luo. Song Luo looked at Song Lin and Zhou Fang's sweet appearance, and her heart stirred, wanting to paint a picture for the two of them. Song Luo got her wish to study abroad, but she didn't seem very happy; instead, she became increasingly reluctant to leave Song Lin.

Song Luo felt a pang of sadness looking at Song Lin sleeping by her bed. She woke Song Lin up, pulled him onto the bed, and the two of them snuggled together. Zhou Fang, Song Lin, Qin Qing, and Zuo Yulin had dinner together. After Zuo Yulin sent Qin Qing home, he was about to leave when Qin Qing, drunk, told Zuo Yulin not to go and to stay and live with her.

Zuo Yulin took Qin Qing's words seriously and contacted a moving company the next day to start moving. Qin Qing was a bit resistant and even called Zhou Fang, wanting Zhou Fang to talk Zuo Yulin out of it. However, Zhou Fang sided with Zuo Yulin and even helped him move, leaving Qin Qing with no options. Song Lin asked Ling Xi out.

He knew that Ling Xi was a very principled person and would not change her attitude just because of his apology. So he proposed to Ling Xi that he could help her get back Lin Yun's painting. Ling Xi told Song Lin a story: initially, she also valued feelings greatly, believing them to be priceless and that one could give up everything for them. But now she realized that everything was an illusion.

Song Lin retorted that feelings vary from person to person; he believed his feelings were very reliable. Ling Xi knew that Song Lin's girlfriend was Zhou Fang, so she said that Zhou Fang's prospects were currently excellent, and wouldn't Song Lin worry about affecting his future career if he gave up valuable opportunities for her? Song Lin said that this equity sale had nothing to do with his future career, so he wasn't afraid.

However, Ling Xi said that without sufficient financial support, it would be impossible for Song Lin to make a comeback. Their conversation was overheard by Zhou Fang, who then realized that Song Lin hadn't secured the funds at all. Zhou Fang called out to Song Lin. Ling Xi greeted Zhou Fang and then left. Zhou Fang looked very upset. Song Lin didn't want her to worry, but Zhou Fang wanted to share his pressure and troubles with him.

Zuo Yulin went home and had dinner with his mother. His mother mentioned that he should bring his girlfriend home to see her someday. Zuo Yulin reacted quickly, lying to his mother that he didn't have a girlfriend. His mother was half-convinced; she had clearly seen a photo of Zuo Yulin and a girl in his WeChat Moments, but Zuo Yulin refused to admit it and quickly changed the subject with a few evasive words.

That night, Qin Qing didn't go home, staying at Zhou Fang's house and refusing to leave. Qin Qing didn't want to live with Zuo Yulin, fearing that they would argue and break up after cohabiting. Zhou Fang then brought up Song Lin's failed negotiations with the buyer. Zhou Fang wanted to help Song Lin win back Ling Xi, so she asked Shen Peipei to help investigate the past between Lin Yun and Ling Xi.

Su Yushan's wife prepared dinner and a birthday cake at home, wanting to celebrate Su Yushan's birthday. However, Su Yushan was so busy that he forgot his own birthday and didn't come home late. Su Yushan's wife was very disappointed. When Su Yushan returned home and saw the food and cake on the table, he felt a pang of regret, knowing he had let down his wife's good intentions.

The next morning, with a compensatory mindset, Su Yushan invited his wife to dinner together that evening. Zhou Fang went to the art exhibition and found Lin Yun. She shared her insights on the painting with Lin Yun. Lin Yun was somewhat surprised; Zhou Fang was the first person to comment on Ling Xi's portrait after he became famous. Zhou Fang seized the opportunity to suggest that Lin Yun return the painting to Ling Xi. Lin Yun saw through Zhou Fang's intention, thinking that Ling Xi had sent Zhou Fang as a lobbyist.

Episode 37 Recap

Zhou Fang denied it, saying that she had only met Ling Xi once and had a request for Ling Xi, which was why she came to find Lin Yun. Lin Yun told Zhou Fang that only when Ling Xi truly understood the meaning of the painting to him, would he give the painting to Ling Xi, but for now, the painting was still not for sale. Song Luo was about to study abroad.

Song Lin and Song Luo agreed to go to the airport together in the afternoon to see Song Luo off. After the agreement, he went to the technology company for a meeting. Song Lin asked Xiao Fei to ensure data security maintenance and guarantee that user data would not be leaked. After the meeting, Song Lin and Zhou Fang went home together and found that Song Luo had already left, leaving a letter.

Song Luo dared not bid farewell to them face-to-face, fearing the scene of departure, so she secretly changed her flight and left early. Seeing this, Zhou Fang quickly called Song Luo, wanting to rush to the airport with Song Lin. However, Song Luo said that she was about to board the plane. Song Lin took the call and gave Song Luo a few instructions. Song Luo responded a few times, but couldn't help but tear up again.

She didn't want Song Lin to worry, so she hung up after only a few words. Qin Qing received a package, opened it, and saw it was an invitation to an exhibition. Qin Qing was quite happy that her design was recognized. She quickly took a picture and sent it to her father, sharing her joy with him. Zhou Fang was also happy for Qin Qing when she found out. The two joked for a few words.

Zhou Fang then asked Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin how their recent life was. Just as she finished speaking, Zuo Yulin invited Qin Qing to dinner. Qin Qing only realized after arriving that Zuo Yulin was taking her to meet his college classmates. As soon as they sat down, Zuo's mother called Zuo Yulin, saying that the meal was ready and asking Zuo Yulin to come home for dinner.

Zuo Yulin was about to say something when Xiao Fei called out to Zuo Yulin, telling him to quickly come back and accompany his girlfriend. Zuo's mother had sharp ears and heard this, so she asked Zuo Yulin to send her a photo of his girlfriend to see. Zuo Yulin really couldn't brush it off.

Zuo Yulin had a sudden idea, suggesting a group photo to everyone, and then screenshot a photo of himself with another girl and sent it to Zuo's mother. Zuo Yulin was just thinking he had tricked Zuo's mother when Qin Qing suddenly appeared behind him, asking what he was doing. Zuo Yulin quickly explained that Zuo's mother wanted him to go home for dinner. After coaxing her for a few words, he returned to his seat with Qin Qing.

In the evening, Zhou Fang brought food to Song Lin's house to have dinner with him. Song Lin was preoccupied with Song Luo and wanted to call her to ask about her, but Zhou Fang said that if Song Lin kept calling Song Luo, Song Luo would not be able to adapt to her new life.

Song Lin thought so too, so he changed the subject, saying that since Shen Di and Song Luo were both not there, they might as well live together. Zhou Fang, however, did not agree. An hour after Zhou Fang got home from dinner, Song Lin came over again to ask Zhou Fang if she had considered it. Zhou Fang was busy with work and wanted Song Lin to leave first, but Song Lin wanted to act like a rogue.

Zhou Fang brought up Zhou Fang's mother to scare Song Lin, so Song Lin had no choice but to leave. The next morning, Zhou Fang arrived at Lin Yun's art exhibition. Song Lin already knew about Zhou Fang's little plan and asked Zhou Fang what her idea was.

Zhou Fang said she had thought about it all night and had her own way to win Lin Yun over, as long as Song Lin brought Ling Xi over tomorrow night and told her that Lin Yun promised to give her the painting. Zhou Fang found Lin Yun again, wanting to bring Lin Yun and Ling Xi together to have a good talk. Meanwhile, Song Lin also helped Zhou Fang convey the matter to Ling Xi.

Ling Xi's impression of both Zhou Fang and Song Lin improved somewhat. With one day left before Ling Xi and Lin Yun were to meet, Zhou Fang brought her studio staff to start preparing the setting for the candlelight dinner for the two. Everything was arranged according to Ling Xi's preferred elements, striving to create a romantic and cozy atmosphere for them.

After the two met, Song Lin and Zhou Fang also found a restaurant to eat, chatting about Lin Yun and Ling Xi's matters as they ate. As Zhou Fang had said, Lin Yun still couldn't let go of Ling Xi.

After Lin Yun handed the painting to Ling Xi, he wanted to speak up to ask her to stay, but Ling Xi was very resolute, saying that she was no longer fixated on the past and hoped that they would not interfere with each other in the future. As Song Lin and Zhou Fang ate, they brought up the topic of living together again, but Zhou Fang still refused to agree.

Su Yushan was not surprised to learn about Song Lin's new project, but he was also interested in it. He casually asked his assistant beside him where the key point was to defeat Song Lin again.

Episode 38 Recap

Su Yushan decided to launch the product before Song Lin to seize the initiative and capture the market. His assistant agreed and prepared to have the R&D team speed up. Zhou Fang told Qin Qing that Song Lin had proposed cohabitation, but she was very hesitant because she and Song Lin had almost never officially dated, and she didn't want to live with him just like that.

After Qin Qing left, Su Yushan came to Zhou Fang's studio to check on her work progress and promised to help her find a venue for the concept store. Su Yushan took Zhou Fang to a venue that was very suitable for her concept store, but Zhou Fang was worried that the venue held a special place in Su Yushan's heart and wanted to decline his kindness.

However, Su Yushan said he was just making the best use of resources and told Zhou Fang not to feel burdened, only asking her to continue helping him take care of his puppy when she moved in. Song Lin gave Zuo Yulin a bank card, which contained the payment for the project Zuo Yulin had introduced earlier. However, Zuo Yulin was worried about Song Lin's financial situation and refused to accept it, but Song Lin insisted he take it.

Zuo Yulin couldn't refuse and had to accept the card. After Zuo Yulin left, he went to the jewelry store to bring food to Qin Qing. Qin Qing mentioned that her father was about to be discharged from the hospital. Hearing this, Zuo Yulin offered to pick up Qin Qing's father together with her. However, Qin Qing was a bit worried that Qin Qing's mother was not very pleased with Zuo Yulin.

Zuo Yulin, knowing her concerns, assured her that he would definitely find a way to resolve the issue. When Zhou Fang returned home, she found that all her belongings had been moved by Song Lin and was a bit angry. She went to Song Lin's house to confront him, telling him her reasons for not wanting to cohabitate and expressing her desire to have proper dates with him.

Seeing that Song Lin agreed, she then asked him to move her things back. She also mentioned that Su Yushan had taken her to see a factory building. Song Lin didn't pay much attention, only telling Zhou Fang to feel free to do what she wanted and that such minor matters didn't need to be reported to him. Before Zhou Fang left, Song Lin mentioned taking her to meet Teacher Cheng over the weekend, and Zhou Fang agreed.

Song Lin took Zhou Fang to Teacher Cheng's exhibition hall. Teacher Cheng had a very good impression of Zhou Fang. After a brief chat, Song Lin went aside to take a call. Teacher Cheng brought up Zhou Fang's plan to open a concept store and then took Zhou Fang on a tour. Zhou Fang noticed a wooden machine in the store, which greatly impressed Teacher Cheng, as very few people showed interest in that machine.

The two conversed happily, finding their design philosophies aligned. Zhou Fang accidentally saw a photo of Teacher Cheng's daughter, Siyue, on the wall. Teacher Cheng voluntarily spoke about Siyue, which moved Zhou Fang, and she kept thinking about it on the way back. When they reached downstairs, Zhou Fang's father asked Song Lin to come upstairs with them, saying that Zhou Fang's mother had something to ask. The two went upstairs.

Zhou Fang's mother looked displeased and slammed a medical record onto the table, questioning them about what was going on. Song Lin quickly explained that Zhou Fang hadn't told her because she was worried about making her mother anxious. Song Lin's flattery and sweet talk eased Zhou Fang's mother's mood. Song Lin then offered to cook. Seeing Song Lin go to the kitchen, Zhou Fang's mother quietly asked Zhou Fang if Song Lin was truly good to her.

Zhou Fang didn't exaggerate but recounted Song Lin's meticulous care during her hospitalization, which finally put Zhou Fang's mother at ease. Meanwhile, Zhou Fang's father and Song Lin prepared the meal together. Zhou Fang's father had a good impression of Song Lin and subtly advised him that to make Zhou Fang's mother fully accept him, he shouldn't just rely on sweet talk but also on concrete actions.

Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin went to the hospital together to pick up Qin Qing's father and bring him home. Zuo Yulin cooked a table full of dishes, then took out a document bag and, in front of Qin Qing's parents, handed Qin Qing his salary card, car keys, and house keys.

Zuo Yulin expressed his stance to them, saying that although he might not be Qin Qing's best choice, he would work hard and do his best to make Qin Qing happy. Zuo Yulin's sincere declaration finally made Qin Qing's mother drop her opposition, and Qin Qing's nervous heart was finally put at ease. Zhou Fang reflected on what Su Yushan and Teacher Cheng had told her, becoming increasingly suspicious that the exhibition hall Su Yushan gave her was Siyue's studio.

Zhou Fang met Su Yushan and voiced her doubts. Su Yushan didn't deny it and told Zhou Fang about the events of that year, entrusting Zhou Fang to manage the experience hall well, treating it as the fulfillment of Siyue's dream. After Zhou Fang finished talking with Su Yushan, Song Lin drove to pick her up to go home. Zhou Fang asked about their dating plans, and the two exchanged another round of sweet nothings.

Episode 39 Recap

After eating, Zuo Yulin went home, and Qin Qing stayed at her parents' house to accompany them. As soon as Zuo Yulin got home, Qin Qing called him, saying that Zuo Yulin had performed very well today. Qin Qing was impressed by Zuo Yulin and asked him if he wanted to take back his bank card.

However, Zuo Yulin felt that it was reasonable to give the card to Qin Qing and asked Qin Qing to give him pocket money every month from now on. With the help of Ling Xi, Song Lin successfully sold his shares. To express his gratitude, Song Lin made an appointment with Ling Xi for a drink after signing the contract. During their conversation, Ling Xi asked him why he let Zhou Fang and Su Yushan continue to cooperate.

Song Lin told her that it was a good development opportunity for Zhou Fang, and he hoped that Zhou Fang could get better and better. Ling Xi had read reports about Zhou Fang online before and didn't have a good impression of her, but this time Zhou Fang was able to help her retrieve the painting from Lin Yun, who was both inferior and conceited and difficult to communicate with.

She also had a better impression of Zhou Fang, and she believed that since Zhou Fang's aesthetic sense could be recognized by Lin Yun, Zhou Fang's design was strong and would shine in Wanfeng Group in the future. Song Lin naturally believed in Zhou Fang's strength. Ling Xi then asked Song Lin about his future plans. Song Lin didn't hide anything and told her about the technology project he was working on recently, online customized tailoring.

Ling Xi was also interested in this project and decided to find an opportunity to evaluate it. After chatting with Ling Xi, Song Lin went on a date with Zhou Fang. They rode a motorcycle around and after playing for a while, they found a restaurant to eat.

Zhou Fang heard the couple at the next table playing a "map of life" game and casually asked Song Lin if he would be willing to take care of her when she was sick. Song Lin was touched and put down his knife and fork, looking at Zhou Fang seriously to propose to her.

Zhou Fang was a little dazed, and when she came back to her senses, she said that they had just started dating and wouldn't marry him now. Zuo Yulin gained the approval of Qin Qing's parents and felt that the time was ripe, so he took the initiative to go home and talk to his mother about his girlfriend.

Zuo Yulin praised Qin Qing in front of his mother, wanting to leave a good impression on his mother before bringing Qin Qing to meet her, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. When his mother went to Zuo Yulin's company, she inadvertently ran into Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing coming out together. As soon as his mother and Qin Qing met, his mother recognized her. It turned out that his mother was Qin Qing's high school teacher.

Back then, Qin Qing didn't study hard and even skipped classes. His mother had a very bad impression of Qin Qing and felt that Qin Qing was an unlearned person. Back then, his mother caught Qin Qing dating a boy on the playground at night and reprimanded Qin Qing in the office. His mother punished Qin Qing to reflect in the office.

As soon as his mother left the office, Qin Qing ran into Zuo Yulin, who came to find his mother. Seeing Zuo Yulin's honest appearance, Qin Qing asked him to stand in the office for her. After the recollection, Qin Qing didn't dare to stay in front of his mother for long, greeted her a few times, and fled in panic. His mother also stopped Zuo Yulin and didn't let him chase Qin Qing, pulling Zuo Yulin back home.

After Zuo Yulin returned home, his mother reprimanded him, feeling that the two of them were not on the same path at all and strongly opposed Zuo Yulin being with Qin Qing. She also felt that the good things Zuo Yulin had said for Qin Qing were all fake. Zuo Yulin was very firm, saying that he had seriously thought about his future with Qin Qing, but his mother forced Zuo Yulin to break up with Qin Qing.

The next day, when Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin met, Qin Qing guessed that his mother would make them break up. Zuo Yulin quickly assured her that he could convince his mother and would not let his mother control his decision. Zhou Fang was busy in the studio when Song Lin suddenly appeared and gave Zhou Fang a surprise.

Just as the two were about to go out for dinner, Su Yushan called Zhou Fang, saying that he had made an appointment with the editor-in-chief Dai Fei for dinner and asked Zhou Fang if she wanted to come along and introduce the two of them. Zhou Fang knew this was a good opportunity, so she agreed.

Song Lin, who was on the side, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this, but he still let Zhou Fang go to the social event. After Zhou Fang left, Song Lin was in a bad mood, so he went to the car dealership to confide in Wang He. Wang He felt that this was not a big problem and comforted Song Lin a few words.

After Zhou Fang returned home, Song Lin saw Zhou Fang lying down on the sofa when she got home, and she didn't answer the phone. Song Lin was a little worried, so he went to Zhou Fang's house to see what was going on. When Zhou Fang saw Song Lin coming, she told him that Su Yushan said he would take her to Milan Fashion Week at today's dinner.

Song Lin didn't object, but just let her go to participate, and carried the drunk Zhou Fang into the room. Zhou Fang and Shen Peipei suddenly went to Qin Qing's house. Qin Qing thought that Zuo Yulin's mother had come to her door, so she quickly hid. Seeing that it was the two of them, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Yulin made dinner and went to the company.

When the three of them were eating together, Zhou Fang said that she was going to Fashion Week this time, and Shen Peipei and Qin Qing were happy for her and wanted to accompany her to Milan.

When Zuo Yulin went home for dinner, Zuo Yulin's mother began subtly hinting at introducing a girlfriend to him, once again trying to dissuade Zuo Yulin from being with Qin Qing. Zuo Yulin, however, said that they had already made up their minds to be together. But Zuo Yulin's mother worried that only Zuo Yulin was determined, and that Qin Qing was just seeking temporary happiness.

She also said that if Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing were together, there would definitely be many problems in the future, asking Zuo Yulin if he was sure he could go through life with Qin Qing. Zuo Yulin's mother was uneasy about the instability of Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing's relationship, hoping Zuo Yulin could have a stable emotional life. Zuo Yulin knew his mother was thinking of him; his feelings for Qin Qing were very deep.

But under his mother's persuasion, Zuo Yulin also began to seriously consider whether he could spend his life with Qin Qing. With Xiao Fei's efforts, the online body measurement and customization technology became increasingly perfect. Seeing that the project technology was mature, Song Lin wanted to build a team to advance the next steps. However, Su Yushan, to release the new technology before Song Lin, interfered and cut off Song Lin's capital chain.

Song Lin could only solve the funding problem first and postpone the release time. In the evening, Song Lin invited Zhou Fang to dinner. Zhou Fang was busy in her studio until late, making Song Lin wait for a long time. Song Lin asked Zhou Fang how her experience center was doing. Zhou Fang told him that with Su Yushan's help, the experience center project was progressing very smoothly.

Just as Song Lin was about to tell Zhou Fang something, Zhou Fang's phone rang. After answering the call, Zhou Fang wanted to ask Song Lin about the project financing, but just as Song Lin was about to answer, Zhou Fang received another call. Song Lin's mood was somewhat bad after being interrupted twice, but since Zhou Fang was working, he couldn't disturb her. He could only say a couple of words, telling Zhou Fang to eat well first.

The two were always interrupted before they could even say a few words. Song Lin felt a lump in his throat, but he still said that Zhou Fang's work was the most important. On the way back, Zhou Fang noticed that Song Lin was a bit angry and wanted Song Lin to understand her current work pace. Song Lin pulled over and said that Zhou Fang's management model had problems.

Since Zhou Fang was now the boss, some trivial matters should be handed over to the team, instead of doing everything herself. As a manager, she only needed to make correct judgments at critical moments. If a team had problems, it meant that Zhou Fang, as the manager, had poor judgment in selecting people. Zhou Fang was a little angry after hearing this and defended her team, stating that her team members were all new.

It was already very good that they could complete the tasks she assigned. Her team naturally couldn't compare to Song Lin's professional team, and other designers also had this kind of work and management model, so she didn't think there was any problem. Song Lin's attitude gradually became serious, asking why Zhou Fang couldn't do what others could, and why she couldn't use a more professional management model.

Zhou Fang looked at Song Lin strangely, not understanding what he truly wanted to say. During their argument, Song Lin again mentioned Su Yushan. Song Lin always felt that Su Yushan had ulterior motives towards Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was so angry that she wanted to get out of the car and leave.

Of course, Song Lin couldn't leave Zhou Fang alone by the roadside, so he quickly stopped her and said they could discuss it further when they got home. Zhou Fang packed her luggage and went to Qin Qing's house for a night. The next day, she went directly to the airport with Qin Qing and Shen Peipei. While waiting for their flight, Shen Peipei recognized the female celebrity He Qin. Su Yushan overheard their conversation and proactively greeted He Qin.

He also pulled Zhou Fang to take a photo with her and asked Zhou Fang to post it on Weibo, having He Qin repost it to naturally promote Zhou Fang. Song Lin felt a bit depressed when he saw that Weibo post. To advance the technology company's project, Song Lin recalled all the management personnel from Wanfeng Group who had originally supported him but were sidelined by Su Yushan.

Chen Chen was also very happy to continue working with Song Lin. After finishing company matters, Song Lin went back to his hometown to visit his grandmother. Song Lin's grandmother was delighted to see him return and even happier when she learned he had a girlfriend, urging him to find time to bring his girlfriend home to meet her. Meanwhile, Qin Qing was on the phone with Zuo Yulin in Milan.

Qin Qing was going to a party and wanted Zuo Yulin to help her choose a dress. However, Zuo Yulin heard Zuo Yulin's mother outside the door, quickly greeted Qin Qing, and hung up. Qin Qing put down the phone and urged Zhou Fang to change clothes, but Zhou Fang wasn't in the mood to go out. Qin Qing knew she was down because of her argument with Song Lin.

Zhou Fang was sulking with Song Lin and hadn't contacted him for several days. Qin Qing and Shen Peipei both advised her to give Song Lin an opportunity to reconcile. After playing in Milan for a few days, Qin Qing missed Zuo Yulin a bit. She no longer felt like playing, so she canceled her flight to Ireland and returned home, also buying Zuo Yulin a watch he had liked for a long time.

While Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing were having a sweet moment, Xiao Fei rushed in to deliver news, saying that Zuo Yulin's mother had arrived. Qin Qing quickly hid and only dared to come out after Zuo Yulin's mother had left.

Episode 41 Recap

As soon as Su Yushan returned from Milan, Ling Xi found him for a meeting, questioning the new project Su Yushan had recently undertaken. Ling Xi told him that Song Lin's team was already far ahead in technological research and development, but Su Yushan hadn't paid attention. He believed that compared to technology, the time of technology withdrawal, subsequent operations, and market acceptance were the top priorities. Relying solely on technology couldn't guarantee a win.

However, Ling Xi still suggested that Su Yushan postpone the application's launch. Su Yushan was very arrogant, believing that he wouldn't cause any problems for Wanfeng Group, and rejected Ling Xi's proposal. After Zhou Fang returned home and found Song Lin wasn't there, she called Zuo Yulin to ask where Song Lin was. Only then did she learn that Song Lin had gone back to his hometown.

Zhou Fang hesitated for a moment but still took the initiative to call Song Lin, wanting to ease the tension with him. However, Song Lin's tone made Zhou Fang a bit sad. Zhou Fang didn't want to talk to Song Lin anymore, so she hung up. Although Song Lin couldn't bear to hurt Zhou Fang in this way, he even more didn't want Zhou Fang to get involved in the struggle between him and Su Yushan.

Because he knew that if Zhou Fang was by his side, he would definitely not be able to resist telling her about it, and given Zhou Fang's personality, she definitely wouldn't stand idly by. Meanwhile, General Manager Xu found Ling Xi to hold her accountable, believing that it was too rash and aggressive for Ling Xi to go to Su Yushan before holding an internal meeting.

Ling Xi calmly stated that she had repeatedly studied Wanfeng Group's project in the past few days and discovered loopholes in it, which was why she suggested Su Yushan postpone the project's launch. General Manager Xu didn't listen to Ling Xi's explanation, saying that no matter what, she shouldn't have bypassed the company to directly confront Su Yushan. Ling Xi knew that Su Yushan must have reported her to General Manager Xu.

General Manager Xu believed that Ling Xi had been getting too close to Song Lin recently, which affected her judgment. General Manager Xu gave Ling Xi a long vacation, telling her to take a good rest.

Seeing that General Manager Xu had already been convinced by Su Yushan, Ling Xi didn't try to explain further, merely telling General Manager Xu that she would do everything she could to prove she was right, and she would no longer stay in a company that didn't trust her. After resigning, Ling Xi went directly to Song Lin, seemingly intending to join Song Lin's team.

The first thing Ling Xi did after joining Song Lin's team was to take Song Lin to the United States to discuss financing. Zhou Fang was worried about Song Lin's company's recent financial situation and asked Zuo Yulin, but he knew nothing, only that Song Lin and Ling Xi had flown to the United States. After Zhou Fang returned home, she encountered a real estate agent again, and her worry intensified upon learning that Song Lin was selling his house.

Song Lin prepared the business plan overnight. Ling Xi became even more confident in Song Lin's company and told Song Lin to quickly cancel the sale of his house, saying that she would help Song Lin resolve the financial issues. After Song Lin finished his work and opened his phone, he found that Zhou Fang had sent messages asking about flying to the U. S. and selling the house.

Song Lin was incredibly tired and could only reply that he would explain thoroughly when he returned. Zhou Fang didn't get an answer and felt a bit depressed. Suddenly, someone came to Zhou Fang's studio to apply for a tailor position. The person was named Fu Chunlai and didn't bring a resume, only stating that his family had been tailors for three generations and that his skills were his resume.

Quanye, who was beside him, saw his confidence and asked him to cut and make a set of clothes on the spot as an interview. Soon, Fu Chunlai finished, and Quanye and Zhou Fang were very satisfied, reaching a cooperation agreement with him on the spot. After signing Fu Chunlai, Zhou Fang took the three members of her studio to visit a concept museum. When Su Yushan saw Zhou Fang, he invited her to a coffee shop for a chat.

During their conversation, Zhou Fang then realized that Song Lin and Su Yushan were competitors, and that Ling Xi had left Wanfeng Group for Song Lin, choosing to help him. Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing were caught by Zuo's mother while out shopping and on a date. Qin Qing saw Zuo's mother looking at them with a disdainful expression, which made Qin Qing uncomfortable. She pulled away from Zuo Yulin's hand and left in a hurry.

Both Qin Qing and Zhou Fang were in low spirits due to relationship issues, so they arranged to go to the gym together to vent. Qin Qing asked about Song Lin, and Zhou Fang, worried that Qin Qing's misunderstanding of Song Lin would deepen, didn't reveal everything, only saying that Song Lin had been too busy lately. Qin Qing then talked about her situation with Zuo Yulin, stating that she didn't want Zuo Yulin to abandon family for love.

Su Yushan's wife, Lin Zhenzhen, suddenly came to Zhou Fang's studio to customize clothes. Lin Zhenzhen knew that Su Yushan highly valued Zhou Fang, and Lin Zhenzhen felt some hostility towards Zhou Fang. She came to the studio this time to see what kind of person Zhou Fang was, that could make Su Yushan entrust The Little Building of April to her.

Zhou Fang explained that Su Yushan was merely her patron, and she only regarded Su Yushan as a benefactor. Ling Xi and Song Lin returned to the country. Just as Song Lin arrived downstairs at his home and was saying goodbye to Ling Xi, Zhou Fang suddenly appeared behind Song Lin. Zhou Fang looked upset and said that as Song Lin's girlfriend, she still had to hear about his affairs from others.

Work matters were one thing, but she didn't even know about Song Lin's personal life. She told Song Lin that if he continued to disregard her feelings like this, their relationship could no longer be maintained. After returning home, a sad Zhou Fang told Qin Qing the whole story. Qin Qing had also matured during this time; not only did she not impulsively go to confront Song Lin, but she also spoke up for him.

Zhou Fang actually knew that Song Lin wanted to protect her, but she hoped even more that she could bear the burden with Song Lin. Reflecting on it, Zhou Fang suddenly felt that what she had just said to Song Lin was too harsh.

Episode 42 Recap

Zhou Fang and Qin Qing were talking when Song Lin sent a message saying he had gone to his grandma's house. Qin Qing, knowing this, asked Zhou Fang to go find Song Lin. Zhou Fang went to Wang He's car shop and asked him where Song Lin's grandma's house was.

Wang He sent Zhou Fang the address while saying that Song Lin had been proud since he was little, and when he was dating Zhou Fang, he always felt unneeded, which hurt his self-esteem. Only then did Zhou Fang understand Song Lin's inner thoughts. After getting the address, Zhou Fang rushed to Song Lin's grandma's house. As soon as she arrived, she met Grandma Song. Grandma Song, knowing she was looking for Song Lin, showed her the way.

When Song Lin saw Zhou Fang arrive, the anger he had harbored dissipated. The two finally had a chance to sit down and talk properly. Zhou Fang also apologized to Song Lin, saying she had neglected his feelings because of work before. Song Lin also reflected that he had been too stubborn at the time. After their conversation, Song Lin took Zhou Fang back to his grandma's house for dinner.

This was the first formal meeting between Grandma Song and Zhou Fang. The more Grandma Song looked at Zhou Fang, the more she liked her, and she even took off the bracelet on her hand and gave it to Zhou Fang as a meeting gift. Zhou Fang and Song Lin stayed at his grandma's house for one night and returned to Shanghai the next day. Before they left, Grandma Song repeatedly told Song Lin to treat Zhou Fang well.

After returning to Shanghai, Song Lin arranged to meet Qin Qing through Zuo Yulin, saying he wanted to give Zhou Fang a surprise and therefore needed Qin Qing's help. Song Lin told Qin Qing that he wanted to marry Zhou Fang. Qin Qing saw that Song Lin was serious, so she agreed to cooperate with him. Zhou Fang's concept store began operation. Qin Qing arrived with Zhou Fang's mother.

Soon after they entered, Su Yushan and his wife also arrived, and Zhou Fang quickly went to greet them. Under everyone's witness, Zhou Fang announced the official opening of the experience store. Amidst everyone's applause, Zhou Fang's gaze remained fixed on Song Lin. Meanwhile, Zhou Fang took Song Lin to tour her new office, while Qin Qing was telling Zhou Fang's mother about her relationship troubles.

Qin Qing had already decided that she wanted to spend her life with Zuo Yulin, but she felt sorry for Zuo Yulin being caught between her and his mother. Zhou Fang's mother listened to Qin Qing's worries and encouraged Qin Qing not to give up. She was very optimistic about Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin's relationship and even promised to help think of a way to make Zuo's mother accept Qin Qing.

Qin Qing invited Zuo Yulin out several times, but Zuo Yulin kept making excuses. Not only could he not come out, but he also didn't reply to Qin Qing's messages. Qin Qing was worried that her relationship with Zuo Yulin was about to end, feeling completely flustered. Zhou Fang looked at Qin Qing's state with some emotion; she had never seen Qin Qing so worried about any man.

She comforted Qin Qing, saying she would definitely help Qin Qing deal with Zuo's mother. Meanwhile, Zuo Yulin was at home picking vegetables with his mother. Song Lin suddenly called Zuo Yulin, asking him to go discuss a project with him. Zuo's mother heard it was work-related, so she told Zuo Yulin to go handle work first. Zuo Yulin got into Song Lin's car, only then realizing that Song Lin was taking him to meet Zhou Fang and Qin Qing.

With the help of Song Lin and Zhou Fang, Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing finally met. Zuo Yulin met Qin Qing and said he would work hard to prove to his mother that he was no longer a child. He would strive in his career and talk to his mother from an independent and equal standing, to let her know that he was serious and earnest about being with Qin Qing. Meanwhile, Song Lin and Zhou Fang were chatting indoors.

Song Lin knew that Qin Qing had bought a gift for Zuo Yulin abroad, so he implicitly asked Zhou Fang if she had bought him a gift. Zhou Fang knew what Song Lin was thinking, but she deliberately didn't expose him and found his expression somewhat amusing. Actually, Zhou Fang had also bought a gift for Song Lin, but it just wasn't ready yet. Song Lin planned to cook a meal at home and entertain Ling Xi with Zhou Fang. Although Zhou Fang was a bit reluctant, to not appear petty, she still agreed to Song Lin's invitation for Ling Xi to dine at their home.

Episode 43 Recap

Su Yushan found Zhou Fang, saying that their application was ready to go live ahead of schedule, and wanted to get a few more designs from Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang asked Su Yushan if his actions would affect Song Lin. Su Yushan hesitated for a moment, but still confessed, but he also reminded Zhou Fang that Zhou Fang is now a member of Wanfeng Group and is destined to become Song Lin's opponent.

In the evening, Zhou Fang told Song Lin about Su Yushan's matter. Song Lin only told Zhou Fang to do her own thing and not worry about him. The next morning, as soon as Song Lin arrived at the new company to meet with the employees, Zuo Yulin discovered that Su Yushan had already launched the application.

Song Lin had already lost the opportunity, but he still asked Xiao Fei to pay attention to customer privacy and ensure that information security was foolproof. Zhou Fang helped Zuo Yulin deliver food to Qin Qing. Qin Qing was drawing design drawings. When she saw Zhou Fang coming, she asked Zhou Fang if she would ask her to design a ring if she wanted to get married.

Zhou Fang pointed to the design drawing that Qin Qing was drawing and said that the ring she wanted was like the one Qin Qing drew. Qin Qing then handed the design drawing to Zhou Fang and asked Zhou Fang if there were any modifications she wanted to make. Zhou Fang looked at it carefully and said that the design drawing was already perfect. If someone proposed to her with this ring, she would definitely agree on the spot.

In the evening, Su Yushan invited Ling Xi and Song Lin to dinner, and also invited Zhou Fang, who was unaware of the situation. Zhou Fang arrived at the restaurant and realized that Song Lin and Ling Xi were also there. Su Yushan deliberately said in front of Song Lin that the successful early launch of Wanfeng's application was thanks to Zhou Fang, so Song Lin's application would become a counterfeit. Zhou Fang felt guilty when she heard this.

Feeling upset, she excused herself and left the table. Ling Xi followed Zhou Fang out. Ling Xi questioned Zhou Fang whether she had considered Song Lin's feelings while doing her job well. Ling Xi also admitted that she admired Song Lin very much. Zhou Fang felt even more sad and left this strange dinner party on the pretext that she was not feeling well. When Song Lin saw Zhou Fang leaving, he chased after her. Song Lin found Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang felt very guilty. Not only could she not help Song Lin, but she also had to stand on the opposite side of Song Lin. She was afraid that the distance between her and Song Lin would become farther and farther, and that there would be nothing to say between them. Perhaps Ling Xi was more suitable for Song Lin.

When Song Lin saw Zhou Fang thinking this way, he quickly comforted her, saying that they would definitely reach the end, Zhou Fang was the most suitable person for him, and he would not give others a chance. Qin Qing knew that Zhou Fang was in a bad mood, so she went to her company to enlighten her, but as she spoke, Qin Qing remembered that her own emotional problems had not been resolved. Qin Qing felt a headache.

Zhou Fang took out the clothes she had ordered for Zuo's mother and asked Qin Qing to send them over, so as to ease her relationship with Zuo's mother. Qin Qing was very grateful to Zhou Fang, but she didn't dare to face Zuo's mother alone, so she dragged Zhou Fang to the school together. Zuo's mother was very indifferent to Qin Qing's show of goodwill.

Not only did she refuse to accept the gifts from Qin Qing and Zhou Fang, but she also directly opposed her being with Zuo Yulin. Qin Qing was very frustrated, but Zhou Fang comforted her, saying that this was just their first effort, at least Zuo's mother now had a new understanding of Qin Qing. Qin Qing, however, retreated and didn't want to face the indifferent Zuo's mother anymore, wanting to give up.

Zhou Fang encouraged Qin Qing not to give up easily, she would always be with Qin Qing, and believed that they would definitely find a breakthrough with Zuo's mother. Qin Qing stayed at Zhou Fang's house for one night. The next morning, Zhou Fang's mother called Zhou Fang and said that she had something to do with Qin Qing. Zhou Fang's mother came over and told Qin Qing that she had inquired about Zuo's mother's affairs.

A colleague of Zuo's mother happened to be a friend of Zhou Fang's mother. Zhou Fang's mother told the two that she would definitely help Qin Qing win over Zuo's mother. Qin Qing and Zhou Fang were overjoyed. Zhou Fang's mother got in touch with Zuo's mother through Teacher Shen's birthday party.

Zuo's mother was writing a paper, and Zhou Fang's mother had previously worked in the data room of the Education Bureau, so she immediately agreed to help Zuo's mother find relevant information. Zuo's mother thanked her repeatedly.

Episode 44 Recap

Song Lin stayed up in the office for several days to speed up the project progress. Fearing for Song Lin's health, Ling Xi dragged Song Lin out shopping with her, just to relax. While buying clothes, Ling Xi reminded Song Lin to think about how to improve the user experience of the software. Song Lin was thoughtful, realizing that only by improving the user experience and the realism of shopping could they have a chance to turn things around.

Zhou Fang and Qin Qing happened to be in the same shopping mall. The two's expression changed when they saw Song Lin and Ling Xi shopping together. Zhou Fang turned to leave, and Song Lin and Qin Qing quickly chased after them. Song Lin quickly explained to the two that he and Ling Xi had been talking about work the whole way.

Although Qin Qing was angry, she felt that Song Lin's explanation was sincere, so she advised Zhou Fang to give Song Lin a chance and see how he behaved. Seeing that Zhou Fang's expression had softened a little, Qin Qing didn't stay to be a third wheel, leaving Song Lin and Zhou Fang alone. Meanwhile, Ling Xi, feeling depressed, invited Huo Chen Dong out for a drink.

Seeing that Ling Xi had something on her mind, Huo Chen Dong asked, Ling Xi didn't hide it, saying that she might have fallen in love with Song Lin. Ling Xi couldn't tell whether she admired Song Lin more or liked him more, but she knew that she was just an outsider between Song Lin and Zhou Fang. Song Lin and Zhou Fang returned home.

They drank some wine while eating, and with the help of the alcohol, Song Lin rarely showed his vulnerable side in front of Zhou Fang, saying that he was now putting everything on this project. If he lost, he would have nothing, and he would not be able to fulfill his promise to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang felt sorry for Song Lin. The two finally spoke their minds.

Zhou Fang told Song Lin that although she couldn't help with anything, she would always be by Song Lin's side, and she believed that Song Lin could overcome this difficulty.

The next morning, Song Lin went to the company, wanting to explain things to Ling Xi, but Ling Xi spoke first, saying that she would not be a destroyer of Zhou Fang and Song Lin's relationship, and asked Song Lin to concentrate on the company's affairs, but if Zhou Fang took the initiative to let go one day in the future, she would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Song Lin said that he would never give Zhou Fang a chance to let go. After talking with Ling Xi, Song Lin went to find Qin Qing. It turned out that the ring Qin Qing made last time was the engagement ring that Song Lin asked Qin Qing to design. Zhou Fang's mother went to the school to send materials to Zuo's mother. Zuo's mother was very grateful.

Shen teacher happened to be in the office, so she invited Zhou Fang's mother to go on a small trip with several teachers. Zhou Fang's mother was worried about what to do next, so she quickly agreed and told the news to Qin Qing, asking Qin Qing to follow along. Qin Qing appeared in front of Zuo's mother as a tour guide, and Zuo's mother didn't know what to say. Zuo Yulin knew about this and hurriedly called Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang told Zuo Yulin not to worry, now Zhou Fang's mother is helping Qin Qing. With the help of Zhou Fang's mother, although Zuo's mother still didn't like Qin Qing, she couldn't refuse Qin Qing's kindness too coldly, so she could only accept it reluctantly. But Zuo Yulin didn't know the situation of Qin Qing. He was anxiously waiting for news at Zhou Fang's home.

Song Lin finally had the chance to watch a movie with Zhou Fang at home, and he drove Zuo Yulin, the third wheel, into the room. Zhou Fang's mother was originally in the same room with Zuo's mother.

In order to let Zuo's mother and Qin Qing get along, she made an excuse that she would wake up at night and was worried about disturbing Zuo's mother's rest, so she arranged Qin Qing and Zuo's mother to rest in the same room. Zuo's mother had no choice but to accept it, but she told Qin Qing that no matter what Qin Qing did, it would be in vain.

Qin Qing was not discouraged and only asked Zuo's mother to get along with her like ordinary teachers and students for the next few days. Qin Qing had just sent a message to Zhou Fang to report the situation. Zuo Yulin, who heard the phone ringing in the room, rushed out and asked Zhou Fang what was going on. Knowing that Qin Qing and Zuo's mother were in the same room, Zuo Yulin was anxious and worried that there would be a conflict between the two.

Episode 45 Recap

In the hotel, Zuo's mother turned off the lights and went to sleep at nine o'clock, not allowing Qin Qing to play with her phone. Qin Qing quickly put down her phone so as not to disturb Zuo's mother's rest. The next morning, Qin Qing specially arranged a scenic place for everyone.

Zuo's mother originally didn't want to get out of the car to play, but hearing Qin Qing say she would stay in the car with her, Zuo's mother didn't want to be alone with Qin Qing. Zuo's mother still got out of the car and went strolling with Zhou Fang's mother. Zuo's mother had always been cold towards Qin Qing; no matter how Qin Qing tried to please her, Zuo's mother always kept her at arm's length.

After Zhou Fang's mother went on a trip, Song Lin and Zhou Fang went to Zhou Fang's house to keep Zhou Fang's father company. Seeing that Song Lin knew how to play Go, Zhou Fang's father pulled him over to play a game. That evening, Zuo's mother returned to her room and secretly sent a message to Zhou Fang's mother, wanting Zhou Fang's mother to move back and live with her.

Just as she finished sending the message, Qin Qing walked out of the bathroom holding her stomach, looking uncomfortable. Zuo's mother asked her about it, and knowing Qin Qing had a stomach ache, she poured her a cup of hot water. Qin Qing was a little surprised; Zuo's mother's rare show of kindness made her feel that her efforts were not in vain. But Zuo's mother still advised Qin Qing not to try in vain anymore.

Qin Qing, however, refused to leave, stating that she would not give up. Zhou Fang was eating at Song Lin's house when she suddenly presented a gift box to Song Lin. Song Lin opened it and found it was clothes Zhou Fang had made for him. Song Lin was quite happy and couldn't wait to put on the new jacket. Meanwhile, Zuo Yulin received a call from Qin Qing after finishing cleaning at home.

The two exchanged sweet words, and then Zuo Yulin suddenly apologized to Qin Qing, worried that Zuo's mother would make things difficult for Qin Qing in the past few days and make her feel wronged. Qin Qing, however, reassured Zuo Yulin that she had not suffered any grievances. The next day, Qin Qing and Zuo's mother finished their trip and returned to Shanghai.

As soon as they got out of the car, Zuo's mother told Qin Qing not to pester Zuo Yulin anymore, stating that she wouldn't change her mind because of Qin Qing's recent attempts to please her. No sooner had she spoken than Zuo Yulin's car arrived. Zuo's mother said no more and pulled Zuo Yulin away. Zhou Fang's mother also returned home with Qin Qing.

Seeing Qin Qing was a little depressed, Zhou Fang's mother comforted her, saying she would slowly think of a way, as this matter couldn't be resolved quickly. After Zhou Fang knew they had returned, she also came over and comforted Qin Qing for a few words. As the two were talking, Zuo's mother suddenly called Zhou Fang's mother to greet her and said she would treat Zhou Fang's mother to dinner in a couple of days.

Zhou Fang's mother quickly agreed, hoping to use this to create another opportunity for Qin Qing. Song Lin's software went online for public beta testing. Su Yushan was a little worried and instructed his assistant to increase marketing. The assistant then said their software was under hacker attack. Su Yushan's face fell, and he told the technical department to speed up the repairs, ensuring it wouldn't affect the software's normal operation.

Meanwhile, Song Lin found Wang He and asked him to help negotiate some promotional collaborations. Song Lin and Ling Xi also started looking for investors to prepare for the second round of financing. However, due to Su Yushan's influence and the lukewarm response after Song Lin's software launched, Director Mo was not optimistic about Song Lin and did not want to participate in the second round of financing.

However, Song Lin's software far surpassed Su Yushan's software in terms of user experience and realism. At Zhou Fang's recommendation, Director Mo tried Song Lin's software for a few days and changed his mind. He then approached Ling Xi to proactively discuss the second round of financing. After Ling Xi learned it was Zhou Fang's recommendation, she proactively invited Zhou Fang to dinner to thank her.

As they ate and chatted, Zhou Fang also admitted that she had been a little bothered by Ling Xi before. Ling Xi explained that she and Song Lin were merely business partners. Ling Xi then asked Zhou Fang what she would do if Song Lin's software caused Zhou Fang to encounter a career crisis in the future. Zhou Fang smiled and said that she was confident she could withstand any storm.

Zuo Yulin finally found an opportunity to go on a date at Qin Qing's house. Zuo Yulin noticed Qin Qing had lost some weight. Qin Qing said her stomach had been a bit uncomfortable recently and she had already seen a doctor. Hearing this, Zuo Yulin felt a little guilty, thinking that Zuo's mother had made Qin Qing suffer.

Episode 46 Recap

Qin Qing worried that no matter how much effort she made, Zuo's mother would remain indifferent. Zuo Yulin was silent for a while, then suddenly proposed to Qin Qing. Qin Qing worried that Zuo Yulin was acting on impulse. Zuo Yulin, however, said that he had been thinking about marriage for more than just a day or two.

Moreover, during this period, Zuo's mother had caused Qin Qing to suffer a lot of grievances, and he wanted to do something for Qin Qing. Although Qin Qing was a little surprised, she happily accepted Zuo Yulin's proposal. After the excitement, Qin Qing suddenly remembered that Zuo Yulin's household registration book was at Zuo's mother's house, and getting it out would be a problem. After Zuo Yulin left, Qin Qing called Zhou Fang to tell her the news.

Zhou Fang was also very happy for Qin Qing, but reminded Qin Qing to think carefully about how to handle the aftermath. The next morning, Zuo Yulin urged Zuo's mother to go to work. After Zuo's mother left, Zuo Yulin began to search around the house. Just as he found the household registration book, Xiao Fei called Zuo Yulin, saying there was a problem with the software.

Zuo Yulin had to rush back to the company to deal with it first. Qin Qing waited alone at the civil affairs bureau until after closing time when Zuo Yulin finally arrived in a hurry. Qin Qing was a bit disappointed and was about to leave when Zuo Yulin pulled her back, asking the staff to help them process their marriage certificate that same day.

While Zuo Yulin was pleading, Zuo's mother returned home, found the household registration book missing, and quickly called Zuo Yulin. Zuo Yulin was determined to marry Qin Qing and did not answer Zuo's mother's call. But Qin Qing suddenly felt that something was not right. She didn't want to marry Zuo Yulin so furtively, so she turned and left the civil affairs bureau.

After Zuo Yulin returned home, Zuo's mother scolded him thoroughly, and sarcastically told Zuo Yulin to show her the marriage certificate. Zuo Yulin said that Qin Qing later felt that doing so would be unfair to Zuo's mother, so they didn't get married. However, Zuo's mother didn't believe it, thinking that Qin Qing couldn't possibly be so kind-hearted. Zuo Yulin was a bit angry. After returning the household registration book to Zuo's mother, he went back to his room.

Seeing that Zuo Yulin's words didn't sound like a lie, Zuo's mother also became a bit uncertain. Zhou Fang's mother was a bit anxious after learning about this, thinking that Qin Qing was too impulsive and that this would make Qin Qing even more passive in front of Zuo's mother. Qin Qing went to the school to apologize to Zuo's mother.

As soon as Zuo's mother saw Qin Qing, she got angry, feeling that if it weren't for Qin Qing's instigation, Zuo Yulin would not have become like this. Song Lin and Ling Xi had just finished signing with President Mo and left the building when they ran into Su Yushan. The two exchanged a few sharp words. Ling Xi was a bit worried that if Su Yushan knew about Zhou Fang helping Song Lin, he would target Zhou Fang.

Song Lin, however, said he wouldn't, as Zhou Fang was now the talent Su Yushan needed most. Not long after, Su Yushan went to find Zhou Fang. As Song Lin expected, Su Yushan did not make things difficult for Zhou Fang and even inquired about the development of Zhou Fang's experience store. Zhou Fang's mother invited Zuo's mother out for a meal and also arranged for Qin Qing to pass by the restaurant, pretending to run into them.

Zhou Fang's mother asked Qin Qing to sit down and eat with them. Qin Qing felt a bit unwell after just two bites and quickly ran to the restroom. After the meal, Zhou Fang's mother pulled Zuo's mother to her own house to chat and took the opportunity to ask about Qin Qing and Zuo's mother's situation. Zuo's mother also treated Zhou Fang's mother as a friend and told her everything about Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin.

Zuo's mother recalled Qin Qing's reactions during their trip and at today's meal, worrying that Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were rushing to get their marriage certificate because Qin Qing was pregnant. Zhou Fang's mother also followed Zuo's mother's lead. With Zhou Fang's mother fanning the flames, Zuo's mother became increasingly worried. The next day, she called Qin Qing to her home, wanting to get a clear answer.

After Zuo's mother suspected Qin Qing was pregnant, her attitude towards Qin Qing improved. She subtly inquired about Qin Qing's recent condition. Qin Qing honestly replied that she had acid reflux. Zuo's mother told Zhou Fang's mother about the situation. Zuo's mother worried that Qin Qing was deceiving her and planned to secretly abort the child. Zhou Fang's mother also echoed Zuo's mother's words, making Zuo's mother increasingly worried. She quickly called Qin Qing.

Upon hearing that Qin Qing was at the hospital, Zuo's mother, without explanation, immediately told Qin Qing to come to her house first. Zuo's mother also called Zuo Yulin home. After the two returned home, they were a bit bewildered, not knowing what Zuo's mother meant. Zuo's mother directly asked them if Qin Qing was pregnant. Qin Qing told the truth, but Zuo's mother didn't believe her. Zuo Yulin, however, went along with the lie, even holding Qin Qing to prevent her from explaining.

Episode 47 Recap

Zuo's mother was convinced that Qin Qing was pregnant, and her attitude towards the two changed. Qin Qing walked out the door, shaking off Zuo Yulin, saying that if Zuo's mother discovered the truth later, it would be even harder to deal with. Zuo Yulin wanted to turn the fake into reality, but Qin Qing had no plans for a child yet and left somewhat unhappily.

Qin Qing didn't want to deceive Zuo's mother, but since things had come to this, there seemed to be no other way to make Zuo's mother agree to her and Zuo Yulin's relationship. Zhou Fang and her mother both advised Qin Qing to first get the marriage certificate with Zuo Yulin and slowly make it up to Zuo's mother later. Zhou Fang and Song Lin went to Zhou Fang's parents' home together.

On the way, they met their neighbor Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu made a few remarks about Zhou Fang, which made Zhou Fang's mother a bit unhappy. Just as she was about to say something, Song Lin walked over from the side and joined the conversation, filling his words with praise for Zhou Fang and care for Zhou Fang's mother. Song Lin's performance greatly satisfied Zhou Fang's mother, and her attitude towards Song Lin improved significantly.

For the sake of the child in Qin Qing's womb, Zuo's mother proposed meeting Qin Qing's parents to finalize the marriage. Both sets of parents officially met. At the dinner table, Zuo's mother brought up Qin Qing's pregnancy, and only then did Qin Qing's parents learn the specific situation. Qin Qing's mother felt that Zuo's mother agreed to the marriage only because of the child, worrying that Qin Qing would suffer grievances in the future.

Qin Qing quickly spoke up for Zuo's mother, saying that after marriage, the two of them would live separately, and with Qin Qing's parents supporting her, she would not be wronged. Wanfeng Group's software was attacked by hackers, leading to a large-scale leak of user information. Zhou Fang's orders were also affected, but Zhou Fang still decided to proceed with the orders. Song Lin's team, upon hearing the news, immediately felt this was a good opportunity for brand promotion.

However, Song Lin reminded everyone that the situation on Su Yushan's side was still unclear, and Song Lin's company might become the primary suspect. All future actions needed to be cautious. At the Baisai Group meeting, someone indeed began to suspect Song Lin was behind it. Su Yushan demanded a thorough investigation to find the mastermind and halted the online customization section. Su Yushan accepted a television interview, implying suspicions that Song Lin was the culprit.

Chen Chen was somewhat flustered after watching Su Yushan's interview, worried that Song Lin would be implicated by Su Yushan. However, Song Lin believed that as long as they perfected their software, whatever others said would be useless. Su Yushan was overwhelmed with company matters. Lin Zhenzhen could no longer bear Su Yushan's indifferent treatment and decided to divorce him.

However, when Su Yushan actually returned home, Lin Zhenzhen heard him talking on the phone to handle affairs and felt a bit reluctant to hand over the divorce agreement to him. Zhou Fang was extremely busy with her previous orders. Song Lin saw Zhou Fang's tired appearance and asked her if she needed his help. He expected Zhou Fang to make some request, but unexpectedly, Zhou Fang only asked Song Lin to give her a massage.

While massaging and chatting, Zhou Fang did not understand why Su Yushan and Song Lin had to fight to the death and wanted a win-win situation. Song Lin was willing to compromise first for Zhou Fang, but he was afraid Su Yushan had no intention of reconciling. Zhou Fang mentioned that Zuo Yulin was going to get certified with Wusan, so Song Lin asked Zhou Fang if she wanted to get certified with him.

Zhou Fang just took Song Lin as joking and merely played along with him. Zuo's mother proactively called Zuo Yulin home and handed him the household registration booklet, telling him to go get certified with Qin Qing. The two stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but Qin Qing hesitated, feeling that getting married in such a way was truly inappropriate.

Zuo Yulin patiently persuaded Qin Qing, saying that he would find an opportunity to explain clearly to Zuo's mother later. Under Zuo Yulin's assurance, Qin Qing made up her mind. After they got married, Zuo's mother went to Qin Qing's home to cook for her and even asked her to send Keke away on the grounds that Qin Qing was pregnant. Qin Qing wanted to tell Zuo's mother the truth but lacked the courage.

In the evening, after Zuo Yulin returned home, he proposed buying Qin Qing a diamond ring. Song Lin suggested to Zhou Fang that she leave Wanfeng Group and return to his company, but Zhou Fang wanted to see if she could overcome this crisis with her own abilities. Furthermore, Su Yushan had shown her kindness, and she could not leave the company during its most difficult time.

Song Lin was somewhat disappointed, only telling Zhou Fang to think it over carefully. Song Lin also began to consider achieving a win-win situation with Su Yushan. Ling Xi expressed that she would support Song Lin no matter if he chose to help Su Yushan or seize market share, but he and Ling Xi both worried that Su Yushan would not appreciate it.

Episode 48 Recap

The next morning, Qin Qing went to the store to pick out a diamond for herself. Qin Qing saw a diamond of very good quality, but she didn't want Zuo Yulin to bear too much of a burden. The salesperson saw Qin Qing's dilemma and suggested that Qin Qing could pay the difference herself. He could help write a receipt for 10,000 yuan.

This way, it wouldn't hurt Zuo Yulin's pride, and Qin Qing could still get the diamond she liked. Qin Qing had a sudden realization and immediately agreed to the suggestion. Su Yushan's company was sued in court, which would inevitably impact Zhou Fang's career. Zhou Fang remembered what Song Lin had said and felt a bit hesitant inside. After making up her mind, Zhou Fang found Song Lin and said that she still decided to stay at Wanfeng Group.

Although Song Lin was a bit disappointed, he could understand why Zhou Fang did so. Meanwhile, Su Yushan returned home with the wedding anniversary gift he bought for Lin Zhenzhen. Su Yushan saw that Lin Zhenzhen was already asleep, so he wanted to put the gift into Lin Zhenzhen's jewelry cabinet. However, he accidentally discovered the divorce agreement Lin Zhenzhen had placed inside. Su Yushan was extremely surprised, but he didn't show it.

Qin Qing was eating a late-night snack at home when Zuo Yulin's mother suddenly arrived. Seeing Qin Qing eating takeout, she got a bit angry, feeling that Qin Qing was pregnant and still eating such unhealthy things. Zuo Yulin's mother lectured Qin Qing relentlessly. Qin Qing couldn't take it anymore, so she told Zuo Yulin's mother that she was not pregnant. Zuo Yulin's mother was very angry and very disappointed with Qin Qing.

Zuo Yulin's mother didn't listen to Qin Qing's explanation, took her things, and went home. Qin Qing felt very guilty. After Zuo Yulin's mother returned home, she questioned Zuo Yulin why he deceived her. She felt that Zuo Yulin learned to lie all because of Qin Qing. No matter how Zuo Yulin explained and defended himself, Zuo Yulin's mother believed he was defending Qin Qing and even told Zuo Yulin to break up with Qin Qing.

Zuo Yulin repeatedly tried to persuade her, but Zuo Yulin's mother's attitude was firm. As they were talking, Zhou Fang's mother called Zuo Yulin's mother and arranged to meet her tomorrow. The next day, Zuo Yulin's mother met Zhou Fang's mother and told her about Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin. Zhou Fang's mother advised Zuo Yulin's mother to let the two be together.

But Zuo Yulin's mother still believed that the two of them were not a good match at all, they were not on the same path, and would break up sooner or later. Zhou Fang's mother knew that Zuo Yulin's mother was wholeheartedly thinking for Zuo Yulin, but her method was wrong, so she continued to persuade her earnestly. After Zuo Yulin's mother returned home, she found that there was an extra massage chair at home.

Zuo Yulin's mother only knew it was bought by Qin Qing after seeing the card. Zuo Yulin's mother felt a bit complicated inside. The next noon, Qin Qing went to the company to deliver food to Zuo Yulin. Zuo Yulin's mother happened to arrive. Seeing the two of them together, she felt a bit annoyed.

Zuo Yulin's mother was about to leave when Qin Qing said that she happened to be going to the school for inspiration, so she went back to the school with Zuo Yulin's mother. At school, the two encountered students having a conflict. Qin Qing saw that Zuo Yulin's mother was about to be bullied by the students, so she stepped forward to speak for Zuo Yulin's mother and managed to calm those students down.

Zuo Yulin's mother then took the opportunity to educate those students. After this incident, Zuo Yulin's mother's opinion of Qin Qing changed somewhat. Her relationship with Qin Qing also became much closer. The two had a rare heart-to-heart talk. Qin Qing also apologized for her immaturity back then and the fake pregnancy. Zuo Yulin's mother forgave Qin Qing and also decided to accept Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin being together.

After Qin Qing returned, she quickly told Zuo Yulin the good news. Zuo Yulin was very excited. Qin Qing then decorated her home and took out the finished ring for Zuo Yulin to put on her. The number of registered users for Song Lin's software increased, but the order volume didn't grow much. CEO Sun was very troubled by this. Meanwhile, Su Yushan found CEO Qian of a technology company and asked CEO Qian to counterbalance Song Lin.

CEO Qian needed Su Yushan's help with financing, so he agreed to Su Yushan's request. Soon after, Xiao Fei discovered that their software was under hacker attack. It was still difficult to withstand the hacker attacks with the existing technology. Xiao Fei was busy at the company until late at night. When Qin Qing came to deliver food to Zuo Yulin, the hackers happened to start attacking the firewall again.

Zuo Yulin didn't care about eating anymore and rushed to check. It was the first time Qin Qing saw Zuo Yulin busy at work; she felt a bit emotional, thinking that Zuo Yulin, at such a young age, had taken on too much.

Episode 49 Recap

Song Lin and Zuo Yulin stayed at the company for two days, but the hacker issue remained unresolved. Song Lin told Zuo Yulin that this work pace might continue for a long time. Zuo Yulin said he could manage, believing that as long as they perfected the online customization section, they could establish a foothold in the market. However, Song Lin was still concerned about Zuo Yulin's health, telling him to prioritize it.

Meanwhile, Zuo's mother called Qin Qing, urging her to go for a hospital check-up. After learning about Qin Qing's physical condition, Zuo's mother rushed Qin Qing to regulate her body and prepare for pregnancy from now on. Qin Qing listened silently to Zuo's mother's nagging, not daring to retort. In the evening, Song Lin, Zuo Yulin, Xiao Fei, and others were still busy at the company, searching for the hacker's real account and attempting to counterattack.

Just as Song Lin felt despair and was preparing to hold a press conference, good news came from Xiao Fei. With Xiao Fei's efforts, they finally attacked the hacker's server, paralyzing it, and everyone cheered. After Song Lin returned home feeling relieved, he found that Zhou Fang had prepared a set of clothes for him at home, which made his heart feel even warmer. Early the next morning, Song Lin found Su Yushan.

Song Lin also knew Su Yushan's current situation; because Su Yushan had made too many enemies, his current predicament was difficult, and he could fall from grace at any time. Song Lin had also guessed that his application had been frequently attacked recently due to Su Yushan's instigation. Su Yushan did not deny it and even asked Song Lin if he came to see him today to gloat.

Song Lin said that their company's firewall had already applied for a patent, and if Su Yushan wanted it, Song Lin could sell it to him. Su Yushan was a little confused as to why Song Lin would help him. Song Lin replied that Wanfeng Group was a company he built from scratch, and he was reluctant to see it collapse. Moreover, Zhou Fang was currently still at Wanfeng Group, and its downfall would not benefit Zhou Fang.

After saying this, Song Lin proposed cooperation to Su Yushan, hoping they could work together to develop and strengthen online try-on. Su Yushan was very wary, unsure whether Song Lin was telling the truth, but he still thanked Song Lin. He had always regarded Song Lin as an enemy, but he never expected that it would be Song Lin who would ultimately be willing to help him.

Song Lin, however, dismissed it, believing that his relationship with Su Yushan was not so much that of enemies as that of very valuable opponents. Su Yushan was somewhat moved. After Song Lin returned to the company, Zuo Yulin, Chen Chen, and others strongly opposed Song Lin selling the patent to Su Yushan. However, Song Lin had already decided on the matter and would sign the contract with Su Yushan tomorrow.

After Ling Xi found out, she strongly supported Song Lin's decision. Ling Xi proposed to Song Lin to withdraw from company operations. Song Lin did not try to keep her and agreed to her request. After leaving Song Lin's company, Ling Xi returned to her former employer. After Zhou Fang learned that Song Lin had signed a contract with Su Yushan, she asked Song Lin why he would sell the patent to Su Yushan.

Song Lin told Zhou Fang the reason and also asked Zhou Fang if the current situation could be considered a win-win. Zhou Fang affirmed Song Lin's approach, and Song Lin also felt that his painstaking efforts had not been in vain. The two stood by the river, having a heart-to-heart talk. Zhou Fang jokingly proposed to Song Lin. Seeing that the timing was right, Song Lin suddenly spoke seriously to Zhou Fang from his heart.

Song Lin felt that Zhou Fang was his soulmate, and getting to know Zhou Fang and being with her was the most correct choice he had ever made and the happiest thing he had ever done. He hoped that Zhou Fang would also be by his side on the road ahead. As he spoke, Song Lin suddenly took out a ring, knelt on one knee, and proposed to Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang was touched and extended her hand, accepting Song Lin's proposal. In the evening, Zuo's mother went to Qin Qing's home to cook for her and insisted that Zuo Yulin come back to eat together. Zuo's mother kept urging Qin Qing to have a baby, disrupting Qin Qing's rhythm and lifestyle. This made Qin Qing feel somewhat angry and depressed, feeling that in Zuo's mother's eyes, she was just a baby-making machine.

Qin Qing sought out Zhou Fang and complained about this to her. As they were talking, Zuo's mother arrived, bringing Qin Qing squid and oyster soup. Qin Qing had disliked oysters since she was little and was a bit resistant. Zhou Fang also tried to persuade Zuo's mother. Seeing that Zuo's mother was getting angry, and worried about falling out with her over this, Qin Qing endured the nausea and finished the soup.

Zhou Fang felt a pang of sympathy seeing Qin Qing sacrifice herself so much for Zuo Yulin. After Zhou Fang coaxed Qin Qing to sleep, Zuo Yulin called Qin Qing. Zhou Fang didn't want to wake her, so she answered the phone.

Episode 50 Recap

Zhou Fang sighed, telling Zuo Yulin to go home and spend time with Qin Qing after he was done with work. Zuo Yulin also promised that he would take annual leave to spend time with Qin Qing once he handed over his work. As soon as he hung up, Zuo Yulin wanted to ask Song Lin for leave. Song Lin had already learned about the situation from Zhou Fang and agreed to Zuo Yulin's request without a second thought.

While they were talking, Zuo Yulin received another call from his mother, saying that Qin Qing had suddenly disappeared and wasn't answering her phone. Zuo Yulin was a little worried, and Song Lin also told Zuo Yulin to quickly go look for her. Zuo Yulin found Qin Qing and assured her that he would definitely resolve the matter. However, Qin Qing said she wished Zuo Yulin wasn't so good. Zuo Yulin patiently persuaded Qin Qing to voice her problems.

Qin Qing finally spoke, saying that she was a little scared, afraid that her free and unrestrained life would be gone after marriage, afraid of Zuo's mother, not knowing how to get along with her, and also afraid of Zuo Yulin being caught between her and his mother. Zuo Yulin felt a little guilty, thinking he hadn't handled the matter well.

Qin Qing understood that Zuo Yulin was too busy with work, but she herself had never yearned for marriage that much. She wanted to marry Zuo Yulin because she wanted to be with him for a lifetime, but if she and Zuo Yulin both changed and became unlike themselves because of marriage, then why get married? Moreover, Qin Qing felt that she couldn't even take good care of herself, so how could she take good care of a child?

Zuo Yulin repeatedly promised that he would talk clearly with his mother, asking Qin Qing to give him a chance to remedy the situation. Qin Qing was unwilling to let Zuo Yulin and his mother have a conflict, but Zuo Yulin was determined to resolve the matter and let Qin Qing be herself again. After Zuo Yulin returned home, he wanted to talk to his mother, but his mother's attitude was firm.

She insisted on urging Qin Qing to have a child, saying that Qin Qing was almost thirty, and if she didn't have a child now, when would she? Zuo Yulin, however, said that he married Qin Qing not to make her bear children, nor to change her. The more Zuo Yulin spoke, the more agitated he became, even telling his mother not to interfere in their lives in the future.

His mother was furious, had a big argument with Zuo Yulin, and even slapped him, wanting to kick Zuo Yulin out of the house and never interfere in his life again. Zuo Yulin felt a little guilty but still left. Zuo Yulin returned to Qin Qing's place and, feigning nonchalance, said that his mother would no longer control Qin Qing nor make her prepare for pregnancy.

Although Qin Qing was worried that Zuo's mother was angry, seeing Zuo Yulin's relaxed demeanor, she took it that Zuo Yulin had persuaded his mother. Su Yushan went to the experience store and invited Zhou Fang out for coffee. As they chatted, Su Yushan suddenly said he had something private he wanted to tell Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang indicated that she was willing to listen.

Su Yushan spoke about how he had recently been reflecting on why he was so fixated on the brand "April." Zhou Fang recalled the scene when she met Lin Zhenzhen before, and based on her understanding of Lin Zhenzhen, she offered Su Yushan a few words of advice, saying that Lin Zhenzhen might have been waiting for Su Yushan all along.

After Su Yushan returned home, he quietly signed Lin Zhenzhen's divorce agreement and wrote a letter telling Lin Zhenzhen that he truly couldn't let go of April in his heart, that he was not a good husband, and although he didn't want to divorce Lin Zhenzhen, he was unwilling to selfishly keep Lin Zhenzhen. But if Lin Zhenzhen was willing, he wanted a chance to change.

After reading the letter, Lin Zhenzhen gave her savings to Su Yushan for emergencies and said that if Su Yushan wanted to compensate her, there was still plenty of time. Su Yushan held a press conference, announcing his early retirement. This move caused a huge stir, but Su Yushan was very calm, stating that he had found more important things to do. Qin Qing, fearing that Zuo's mother would be sad, actively visited Zuo's mother's home.

Zuo's mother was eating alone. Seeing that Zuo's mother was still angry at Zuo Yulin, Qin Qing spoke many good words on Zuo Yulin's behalf. Qin Qing also spoke her heart to Zuo's mother, wanting to communicate well with her, and hoped that Zuo's mother could treat her as her own daughter, and that she could tell her anything in the future. She also promised to go home more often to accompany Zuo's mother.

She hoped their family could live well together. Zuo's mother was moved by Qin Qing's sincerity and voluntarily served Qin Qing a bowl of rice, signifying her acceptance and reconciliation with Qin Qing. Song Luo returned to China with Shen Di to attend Song Lin and Zhou Fang's wedding. Song Luo told Song Lin about her performance at school and also said she wanted to find time to go home and see her grandmother. Song Lin was quite pleased, and not long after, he found a time to take Song Luo, Shen Di, and Zhou Fang back to his hometown to visit Song's grandmother.

Episode 51 Recap

After Zhou Fang and Song Lin finished dinner at Song Lin's grandmother's house, they lay together in the yard looking at the stars. As they watched the stars, they chatted. Zhou Fang mentioned that Song Lin's software, besides high-end fashion customization, could also be used for other products. Song Lin, having been reminded, felt that Zhou Fang had a point and wanted to give it a try as she suggested.

A few days later, Zhou Fang and Song Lin held their wedding. As the wedding was about to begin, Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing suddenly discovered that Zhou Fang and Song Lin were missing. They were a bit worried. Just as they were about to arrange for people to look for them, the roar of a motorcycle was heard. They looked in the direction of the sound, and the hall doors opened.

Song Lin rode a motorcycle carrying Zhou Fang into the wedding venue. Only then did Zuo Yulin and Qin Qing feel relieved. Song Lin explained to everyone that he and Zhou Fang met because of a motorcycle, which was why he wanted to make an entrance like this. At first, Song Lin thought Zhou Fang was especially annoying, a particularly difficult person.

But in later life, through repeated interactions, Song Lin discovered Zhou Fang's cute side and saw her stubborn side. Yet for Song Lin, seeing Zhou Fang's stubborn side only made him increasingly want to protect her and stand by her. Song Lin felt that the most important reason for love was simply wanting to be with her for this lifetime, wanting to be together forever. Song Lin's heartfelt confession deeply moved Zhou Fang.

The two exchanged rings, officially becoming husband and wife, and the people below the stage applauded. Huo Chendong looked at the scene before him, his feelings a bit complicated. He quietly left the hall alone. Shen Peipei noticed he was in a bad mood and chased after him, but Huo Chendong insisted on leaving Shanghai, only telling Shen Peipei to take care.

Huo Chendong sat in the taxi, recalling the time he spent with Zhou Fang, but as he thought, he couldn't help but think of Shen Peipei. Unknowingly, Shen Peipei had also become somewhat special in Huo Chendong's heart. After Zhou Fang and Song Lin got married, Qin Qing and Zuo Yulin were also about to embark on their wedding trip. Song Lin and Zhou Fang bid them farewell.

After watching them leave, Song Lin suddenly said he wanted to travel to Zhouzhuang with Zhou Fang. Half a year later, Shen Di and Song Luo both got into their desired schools. Zhou Fang's mother was overjoyed after hearing the news. In the past six months, Su Yushan and Lin Zhenzhen's relationship also rapidly warmed up. After retiring, Su Yushan worked at that coffee shop, letting go of his obsession and pursuit of personal gain.

Su Yushan became amiable and approachable, and he and Lin Zhenzhen were no longer a couple in name only, but had truly entered each other's hearts. Zhou Fang and Song Lin rode motorcycles together, revisiting old places. The two returned to the place where they first met. Song Lin mentioned that when he first saw Zhou Fang, he felt she was special.

Song Lin also thanked Zhou Fang, saying it was she who enriched his life, making it no longer just about work, and thanked her for giving him a warm home. Seeing Song Lin's emotions, Zhou Fang then told Song Lin good news: Zhou Fang was pregnant with Song Lin's child. Song Lin was overjoyed, excitedly picked up Zhou Fang, and spun her around. The two sweetly embraced by the sea.

Life always tests you when you least expect it, and also brings unexpected surprises when you least expect them, allowing you to have happiness. Never give up when faced with difficulties and setbacks; get through this difficult period, and perhaps your happiness is right beside you.
