Wu Jun invited Cheng Xi to dinner and brought up the idea of filing a lawsuit over Deng Ming’s false accusations against her. Cheng Xi pointed out that Deng Ming might turn around and bite back—he had always been cunning. Wu Jun said that with Qian Heng as his legal backing, there was no case he couldn’t win.

But Cheng Xi explained that she didn’t want to waste even a shred of energy on someone like Deng Ming—it simply wasn’t worth it. Wu Jun was secretly pleased. Even if he couldn’t help Cheng Xi as a hero saving a damsel, at least he now knew she utterly despised Deng Ming, which gave him more confidence to pursue her. Qian Heng searched online for ways to relieve stress, and one of them was doing housework.

So he deliberately messed up the apartment for two days in a row and blamed it on the dog. He thought that if Cheng Yao got busy, she might temporarily forget her troubles. But Cheng Yao could tell the mess was man-made and sarcastically blamed the dog for being inconsiderate—she already worked hard during the day and now had to clean up at night too.

Qian Heng searched the internet again and saw several comments from netizens asking why a male boss would care so much about a female subordinate—apart from love, there was no other explanation. Qian Heng’s heart skipped a beat. Could he really have developed special feelings for Cheng Yao? He couldn’t quite explain it himself. That night, Qian Heng took Cheng Yao out for a night run.

Cheng Yao couldn’t keep up and stopped, gasping for breath, in front of a shopping mall. The fountain began to spray, and the two of them paused to watch. Taking advantage of the moment, Cheng Yao expressed her gratitude to Qian Heng—for calming the online storm, for helping her relieve stress, for being thoughtful in every way.

Qian Heng didn’t know how to respond and ended up saying that he was merely trying to prevent his employee’s issues from affecting work efficiency. Cheng Xi went to the hospital to visit Deng Ming’s mother. Deng Ming repeatedly tried to initiate physical contact, which Cheng Xi found disgusting and kept rejecting. Seeing Deng Ming’s fake expression, Cheng Xi made sarcastic remarks. As she was leaving the hospital, Deng Ming asked for a reconciliation.

Cheng Xi advised him to stop putting on a show. When she got home, Wu Jun called to say he had resolved the issue of Cheng Yao being attacked online. In truth, he was taking credit for what Qian Heng had done, but since their relationship wasn’t that particular about such things, Cheng Xi was very grateful and said she would treat Wu Jun to dinner in a few days.

Deng Ming ordered his assistant to follow and secretly photograph Cheng Xi, obtaining pictures of her shopping with Wu Jun. Furious, he began scheming again. Wu Jun went to discuss it with Qian Heng and proposed a plan to bring Cheng Xi into Junheng Law Firm. Since Cheng Xi was currently doing legal aid work, they could create a new service area related to it. Qian Heng warned him not to mix emotions with work, or it would affect efficiency.

But Wu Jun didn’t listen at all. At the firm, Cheng Yao wasn’t tracking any cases and had a lot of free time. A colleague asked her to help with some legal aid work, which she was happy to do to stay busy. But Wu Jun snatched the aid project proposal right out of her hands and declared that he would handle all legal aid work from now on.

Dong Min invited Qian Heng to dinner, using the opportunity to inquire about recent communications between her father and Qian Heng. She also asked Qian Heng to consider her feelings. Qian Heng told Dong Min that while she was still young, she should focus on self-improvement rather than always thinking about romance. Qian Heng handed over Dong Min’s father Dong Shan’s divorce case to Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao arranged a meeting with Dong Shan to understand the situation.

Dong Shan had been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer that might develop into stomach cancer. Before the board of directors found out, he planned to divorce his wife so that even if he was later pushed out, his wife could remain on the board. Although Cheng Yao was moved by Dong Shan’s view of life, she also felt something was off.

A stomach ulcer wasn’t a serious illness, so his eagerness to divorce didn’t seem as simple as he made it out to be. But she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong and could only ponder it silently in her heart.
