Li Huizhen remains distant and cold towards Bai Haoyu, unsettling him after their recent reunion. She is unwilling to openly pursue a relationship with him, primarily out of consideration for Xia Qiao's feelings. Bai Haoyu, who finally found the real Li Huizhen, struggles to understand her sudden aloofness and refuses to give up. Li Huizhen insists on maintaining a professional boss-subordinate dynamic at work, though this decision also pains Bai Haoyu.
Meanwhile, Lin Yimu, aware of Li Huizhen and Bai Haoyu's situation, becomes noticeably cold towards Li Huizhen and withdrawn from his colleagues. Despite Li Huizhen's concern for his well-being, he keeps his distance, often seeming downcast and leaving company gatherings, like a dinner hosted by Bai Haoyu, early. Lin Hao returns from a business trip, sharing his new ideas, and Zhu Ying proposes an exclusive brand concept for "Eternal".
Lin Yimu is secretly meeting with "Old Jiang," who is attempting to poach him. Li Huizhen, growing worried after Lin Hao's suspicions, finds Lin Yimu. She initially believes he is leaving for personal reasons, but he reveals "Eternal" may be shut down, making his departure seem normal. Li Huizhen pleads with him to stay, emphasizing their collective efforts for the magazine. Lin Yimu vents his frustrations by boxing at home, skipping work the next day.

Li Huizhen tries to connect with Xia Qiao, urging her to ignore the men and talk. However, Xia Qiao feels Li Huizhen pities her and cannot bear to see Li Huizhen and Bai Haoyu together, especially after Bai Haoyu's decisive rejection upon learning the truth. Seeking solace, Xia Qiao goes to a hotel, where she finds Lin Yimu packing his belongings.
The two, sharing similar heartbreaks, confide in each other, and Xia Qiao offers to treat him to a meal before he leaves. Returning home, Xia Qiao finds Li Huizhen waiting for her, having fallen asleep on the sofa.
