Early the next morning, Qian Heng woke from his sleep—it had been a long time since he’d slept so soundly. He found it hard to believe and suspected that his ability to fall asleep might have something to do with Cheng Yao. When he came to the living room, he found Cheng Yao sleeping soundly on the sofa. Qian Heng called her awake, startling her so much that she rolled off the couch and fell to the floor.

She quickly apologized to Qian Heng, explaining that she had planned to leave after cooking but had accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa. Qian Heng didn’t blame her—after all, he himself had slept well, which was a rare occurrence. After arriving at the firm, Cheng Yao began digging into the Xu Jun divorce property division case.

She was a die-hard fan of Bai Xingmeng, and only now did she realize that Xu Jun had once been rumored to be involved with Bai Xingmeng. However, the timeline of their rumored relationship didn’t match, and Cheng Yao was convinced that Bai Xingmeng had been deceived. Bao Rui advised her to switch her allegiance to Qian Heng instead and even added her to the "Glory and Wealth Group Chat. "That night, Qian Heng was once again plagued by insomnia.

He couldn’t understand why he had been able to sleep the night before but not now under the same conditions. He tried to recreate the noise Cheng Yao made while cooking late at night—he even hired a housekeeper and asked her to make more noise while cooking. The housekeeper quit on the spot, accusing him of disturbing the peace in the middle of the night and telling him to get help if he had issues.

Left with no other option, Qian Heng took some sleeping pills, but they didn’t work. He recalled what Cheng Yao had said about her strong adaptability and ability to sleep anywhere, so he got up and headed to the office to work overtime. On the way, he saw a pharmacy clerk sleeping on the counter and mistook her for Cheng Yao. After waking her up, he realized he had the wrong person.

When he reached the firm's front desk, he mistook the receptionist for Cheng Yao too. When he finally did see the real Cheng Yao, he couldn’t believe it and pinched her mouth to confirm, leaving her completely confused. Trying to please Qian Heng, Cheng Yao offered to share her self-heating hot pot with him but was immediately kicked out. She continued humming as she cooked, and Qian Heng, sitting nearby, started dozing off.

The next morning, colleagues gathered outside Qian Heng’s office and found him sleeping soundly on the sofa. Tan Ying insisted on taking a photo to commemorate the rare scene. Later, Wu Jun arrived and announced that there would be a party tonight to welcome the new employees. He went into Qian Heng’s office, and Qian Heng, already suspicious, knew he had ulterior motives.

As expected, Wu Jun sought out Cheng Yao and asked her to invite her sister Cheng Xi to the party—that was his real goal. During lunch, Qian Heng went looking for Cheng Yao and found out she had gone downstairs for noodles. Cheng Yao was happily sharing her delicious noodles with her best friend Tingting when a former high school classmate recognized her. Upon learning that she was a lawyer, the classmate asked her about financial fraud issues.

Since Cheng Yao specialized in family law, she offered to introduce another lawyer, but her classmate misunderstood her. Just then, Qian Heng arrived and quickly defused the awkward situation with a few words. With a stern face, Qian Heng told her the drain at home was clogged and asked her to fix it—he even told her to move back in.

Cheng Yao found his sudden change in attitude hard to adapt to, and her best friend warned her to be wary of her possibly deranged boss. At the party that night, Wu Jun realized that Cheng Xi hadn’t shown up, so he used the excuse of creating a family contact group to get her WeChat ID. Bao Rui had invited two elite lawyers from another firm, but unexpectedly, one of them started trying to poach Cheng Yao.

When Qian Heng arrived, he immediately shut them down with a few sharp remarks, leaving them speechless. He then suggested playing a game, saying that Truth or Dare was outdated, and proposed a new game: reciting legal statutes. Anyone who couldn’t recite a statute would be fined fifty yuan, and the money would be forfeited. One by one, everyone lost. Qian Heng, true to his elite status, recited the statutes with ease. Cheng Yao got drunk, and Qian Heng offered to drive her home. On the way, she ended up vomiting in the car.
