Su Mang, a career woman, is an executive at CT Company, a British international tourism group. Zheng Chu, a fashion travel experience expert at Shanghai MG Tourism Group, spends 300 out of 365 days a year sleeping in five-star hotels. Su Mang's husband, Chen Jiaming, comes from a wealthy family background but is infertile. Su Mang and her husband have never had children.

For her husband's dignity as a man, and at her mother-in-law's request, Su Mang decides to undergo artificial insemination. Zheng Chu's girlfriend, Chen Shanshan, is an elegant and beautiful flight attendant, whose parents divorced when she was young, leading to a turbulent life. She yearns to live a superior life, but her boyfriend Zheng Chu's mediocre career has always made her critical and discontented. The story begins here. Su Mang went to the hospital, determined to undergo artificial insemination.

She had strict requirements for the sperm donor: high IQ and pure Chinese ancestry. Su Mang wanted to see a photo of the donor to have an idea of his appearance, but the doctor strictly adhered to hospital regulations and disagreed with Su Mang's request. Su Mang was displeased. Zheng Chu went to a five-star hotel for an experience inspection.

He was picked up and dropped off by a Mercedes-Benz, and all hotel staff cleared the way to welcome him, a spectacular scene. Zheng Chu was diligent and responsible in his work, finding deficiencies in many details of the hotel and pointing them out truthfully to the hotel management. Unexpectedly, while the hotel staff appeared respectful, they called Zheng Chu's company to complain about him after he left. Following Su Mang's requirements, the hospital selected several qualified donors.

After careful and strict selection, Su Mang reluctantly found a donor she was reasonably satisfied with. The procedure went smoothly, and now she awaited the conception results. Zheng Chu returned to the company and was severely reprimanded by Hehe, the director of the tourism department, at a departmental meeting. Zheng Chu had always known that Hehe was quite dissatisfied with him and did not respect his work as a travel experience expert at all.

Hehe ordered Zheng Chu to reissue the investigation report for the Haining five-star hotel. Zheng Chu felt he took his work seriously and that his report was factual, so he firmly refused to change it. During the meeting, Hehe uttered malicious words, which pushed Zheng Chu to his limit. Zheng Chu told Hehe that as soon as he finished the Sanya hotel project he was working on, he would immediately submit his resignation.

Cai Ling was Su Mang's superior and close friend in the UK. She strongly supported Su Mang's work. After learning of Su Mang's decision to undergo artificial insemination, she supported her and happily said, "Now you can finally stay in the UK with complete peace of mind." Zheng Chu and his girlfriend Chen Shanshan had been in love for many years, and he decided to propose to Chen Shanshan, turning their love into marriage.

For this proposal, Zheng Chu had prepared the ring and venue early. Unexpectedly, due to the argument with Hehe, Zheng Chu was over an hour late when he arrived at the agreed-upon bar. Zheng Chu, holding a bouquet of blue roses, walked up to Chen Shanshan, who looked impatient. Zheng Chu quickly apologized. Chen Shanshan coldly said, "You're busy every day, but I never see you when it's time for promotions and raises."

Zheng Chu only wanted to avoid spoiling the proposal atmosphere and didn't take Chen Shanshan's sarcasm to heart. Chen Shanshan went to the restroom. Zheng Chu quickly worked with his friends to place the ring he had prepared into the dessert that had been ordered yesterday, hoping to surprise Chen Shanshan. When Chen Shanshan returned to her seat, Zheng Chu eagerly waited for her to discover the ring while eating the dessert.

To his surprise, Chen Shanshan was furious because the strawberries on the dessert were not fresh and insisted that the waiter replace it with a freshly made one. Zheng Chu had no choice but to tell Chen Shanshan about his intention to propose. Upon hearing Zheng Chu's proposal, Chen Shanshan showed no joy.

She told Zheng Chu that in the eyes of outsiders, he stayed in five-star hotels and frequented high-end restaurants, but who knew that his salary was not even as much as hers, a flight attendant. Chen Shanshan admitted that she simply wanted a good life, but Zheng Chu couldn't fulfill her needs. Furthermore, Chen Shanshan didn't understand Zheng Chu's work as a travel experience expert and saw no value in it. Chen Shanshan broke up with Zheng Chu.

Zheng Chu never expected that his carefully prepared proposal surprise would result in his girlfriend breaking up with him. Zheng Chu repeatedly tried to win Chen Shanshan back, but she responded coldly. Zheng Chu was utterly disappointed. Su Mang returned home from work and found messy clothes scattered everywhere near the entrance. Su Mang felt suspicious. When she went upstairs, she discovered her husband having an affair with another woman. Su Mang was furious.

Tian Xuecheng showed no remorse at all. It turned out he already knew about Su Mang undergoing artificial insemination and unconvincingly argued that Su Mang was cuckolding him. He not only uttered harsh words but also pushed Su Mang to the ground, injuring her knee. Su Mang was deeply disappointed. Tian Xuecheng declared that if Su Mang was pregnant with someone else's child, she was coveting his family's property, and he wouldn't let her have her way, deciding to divorce.

Su Mang was heartbroken by the person in front of her and agreed to the divorce without any hesitation. Cai Ling stood up for Su Mang. Su Mang was physically and mentally exhausted and decided to leave the UK. Cai Ling told Su Mang that the acquisition of MG Company by CT Company was almost complete, and there would be personnel changes at MG Company.

She would help Su Mang secure an opportunity to work at the Shanghai company, allowing Su Mang to return to China for a period, considering it a way to clear her mind. Tang Ming was Zheng Chu's good friend. His sister, Tang Guoguo, was a famous singer, lively and cute, but also had a spoiled temperament. She had always pursued Zheng Chu relentlessly.

Now, knowing that Zheng Chu and Chen Shanshan had broken up, she decided to go all out and aggressively pursue Zheng Chu. Knowing Zheng Chu was going to Sanya to inspect hotels, Tang Guoguo arrived in Sanya ahead of him to await his arrival. Su Mang was surprised that her artificial insemination succeeded on the first attempt; even the doctor was astonished because the chance of success on the first try was rare.

However, the now-divorced Su Mang didn't want the child anymore. The doctor was puzzled and even accused Su Mang of being irresponsible with life. Su Mang sat alone, lost in thought, in a park. Seeing children playing with their parents, her maternal love was suddenly awakened. Su Mang felt that the arrival of this little life might be a destined fate with this baby.

Cai Ling advised Su Mang to think carefully, as raising a child was not an easy task. Su Mang's mind was made up; no matter how many problems there would be in the future, she would give birth to this child. Su Mang's transfer order quickly came through. Before heading to Shanghai for her new post, Su Mang decided to take a vacation in Sanya to relax. Zheng Chu arrived in Sanya, unexpectedly finding Tang Guoguo already waiting for him.

Zheng Chu warned Tang Guoguo that he was there for work and she shouldn't disturb him, or else he would threaten to tell the paparazzi about her whereabouts. Su Mang, Zheng Chu, and Tang Guoguo checked into the same hotel. While checking in, Tang Guoguo and Su Mang bumped into each other, scattering their room cards on the floor. Unbeknownst to them, Su Mang and Zheng Chu accidentally picked up each other's room cards.

Su Mang successfully checked into her room using the room card number. Zheng Chu, finally free from the clingy Tang Guoguo, was about to return to his room when he found his room card couldn't open the door. He went to the front desk. After verifying Zheng Chu's check-in information, the service staff opened the door for him.

Zheng Chu, tired after a long day, was just about to take off his pants to rest when Su Mang emerged from the bathroom after showering. The two embarrassed individuals were flustered, and Su Mang even took Zheng Chu for a pervert. Zheng Chu suggested letting the front desk handle the matter to determine whose room it actually was. Tang Guoguo came looking for Zheng Chu and, seeing Su Mang there, got into an argument with Su Mang.

The hotel staff confirmed that the room belonged to Zheng Chu. Su Mang suddenly remembered the morning incident at the front desk when they bumped into each other, realizing they must have swapped room cards. Zheng Chu kindly offered his room to Su Mang. After everyone left, Su Mang saw Zheng Chu's wallet on the bed.

Su Mang went to Tang Guoguo's room and knocked on the door, wanting to return the wallet to Zheng Chu. Tang Guoguo was still sleeping and was quite annoyed by Su Mang's knocking, naturally not giving Su Mang a friendly look. Su Mang didn't mind. Su Mang came to the hotel restaurant and happened to run into Zheng Chu, who was also preparing to have breakfast. She then returned the wallet to Zheng Chu, who was very grateful.

Su Mang had chosen her breakfast and was sitting at her chosen spot, ready to eat. Zheng Chu, grinning, also took his plate and sat opposite Su Mang. Su Mang was slightly displeased and told Zheng Chu that they weren't even strangers to each other. Zheng Chu wasn't angry at all after hearing this; he even specifically recommended the best soup in the hotel to Su Mang.

Zheng Chu told Su Mang that he was a travel experience designer, so he was the most qualified to recommend the best things in this hotel to her. Not only that, but Zheng Chu also consulted Su Mang on whether the hotel's facilities satisfied users. Although Su Mang still verbally disliked Zheng Chu, as Zheng Chu's future superior, Su Mang inwardly approved of Zheng Chu's work attitude. Zheng Chu went to inspect the hotel's swimming pool environment.

Tang Guoguo insisted on going with him. The two encountered Su Mang by the pool. Tang Guoguo was at loggerheads with Su Mang, and Su Mang skillfully retorted. Tang Guoguo fell into the pool during a scuffle with Su Mang. After Zheng Chu pulled Tang Guoguo out, he specifically instructed the hotel staff to place anti-slip mats and relevant anti-slip measures by the pool, otherwise, children and the elderly could easily fall.

Su Mang, standing by, felt an even greater appreciation for Zheng Chu's work performance. Tang Ming went to a jewelry store to choose a piece of jewelry for his mother. He was hesitating at the counter, unsure which one to pick. Yan Xiaoqiu saw him and stepped forward to recommend a pair of bracelets to Tang Ming, which suited him perfectly.

When the sales assistant was about to tell Tang Ming that the designer of this jewelry was Yan Xiaoqiu, Yan Xiaoqiu stopped the assistant, only telling Tang Ming that she was the assistant to the jewelry designer, which was why she understood the design so well. Chen Shanshan's water pipe burst at home. She called Tang Ming, hoping he could come to her house to help her. Tang Ming kindly went to Chen Shanshan's house to fix the pipe.

After fixing it, Chen Shanshan, wearing her pajamas, swayed intentionally or unintentionally in front of Tang Ming, causing his heart to flutter for a moment. Zheng Chu and Tang Guoguo were going to the beach. Coincidentally, Su Mang also wanted to go, so the three traveled together. Upon reaching the destination, Tang Guoguo, in a huff, didn't want Su Mang to join their activities. Su Mang tactfully left.

Tang Guoguo wanted to rent a yacht, but all the yachts had already gone out to sea. Tang Guoguo called Tang Ming, hoping he could ask his friends in Sanya to help connect them with one. However, she found out that Tang Ming was actually at Chen Shanshan's house fixing water pipes, which made Tang Guoguo almost explode with anger. The evening bonfire party was an important project for Zheng Chu's inspection of this hotel.

He conducted surveys with numerous users participating in the bonfire party one by one. Su Mang also came to the bonfire party. While Zheng Chu was talking with Su Mang, he saw a pregnant woman holding barbecue on her plate. Zheng Chu kindly reminded her that pregnant women should eat less barbecue-type food. The pregnant woman was also helpless, as there was only barbecue at the bonfire party.

Zheng Chu immediately went to contact the hotel kitchen to prepare light food for the pregnant woman. Su Mang greatly appreciated Zheng Chu's responsibility and thoughtfulness. The next day, Su Mang decided to return to Shanghai. Before leaving, she quietly instructed the hotel's publicity department manager to test Zheng Chu with money. The manager, holding fifty thousand yuan, wanted Zheng Chu to give the hotel a perfect score in his review, but Zheng Chu was unmoved.

Director Su Mang, newly appointed, was resolute and efficient. She was determined to change the current lax and passive work situation of the tourism department. Su Mang's "three fires of a new official" even led the people in the tourism department to secretly nickname her "Black Spider" behind her back. Zheng Chu returned to Shanghai from Sanya. On his way back to report to the company, he encountered condom promoters downstairs.

The promoters, taking advantage of Zheng Chu's inattention, stuffed a handful of condoms into Zheng Chu's backpack. Zheng Chu got rid of these promoters and arrived downstairs at his workplace, where he saw a moving company carrying furniture from the director's office downstairs. Zheng Chu was puzzled. Xiao Gu told Zheng Chu that the new female 'devil' was going to completely overhaul the office. Zheng Chu even muttered, "This woman is really something."

Zheng Chu kindly lent a hand, but unfortunately, he used improper force and twisted his waist. He could only hold his waist, enduring the pain, and entered the office. Su Mang invited Zheng Chu to her office. Zheng Chu entered the director's office and was utterly surprised to see that his new director was Su Mang. Zheng Chu found it very amusing and was grinning as he greeted Su Mang.

To his surprise, Su Mang adopted a dignified air of a superior and criticized Zheng Chu's work from head to toe. This made Zheng Chu feel aggrieved and resentful, so he took the opportunity to tell Su Mang his decision to resign. Su Mang said he could resign, but he had to complete his current work. She would approve his resignation report when his Sanya investigation report was written to her satisfaction.

Zheng Chu angrily took out his report from his bag, but unexpectedly, condoms spilled all over the floor, making the scene instantly extremely awkward. Su Mang awkwardly said that they were both adults and she understood. Zheng Chu quickly explained that they were promotional items, but the more he explained, the more confused it became. Su Mang surprisingly asked, "They sell so many for promotion?"

Zheng Chu, supporting his recently twisted waist, was about to defend himself when Su Mang waved her hand and said, "Go to the pharmacy and buy something for kidney tonic." Zheng Chu was truly unable to express his misery. Zheng Chu, Tang Guoguo, and Tang Ming went out to eat. Coincidentally, they met Chen Shanshan and her friends also coming to eat. Zheng Chu felt stifled and went out for some fresh air.

Tang Guoguo, feeling indignant for Zheng Chu, went to lecture Chen Shanshan and even splashed a glass of water on her. Tang Ming stepped forward to intervene, and Chen Shanshan immediately put on a pathetic look. Su Mang liked old houses with a Shanghai charm. As it happened, her new house was chosen right opposite Zheng Chu's home, and the two became neighbors by coincidence.

Su Mang called Su Chang to help her tidy up the house and threw out old, unusable furniture outside the door. Some aunties saw them and wanted to pick them up for use. Just then, Zheng Chu passed by, and the aunties asked Zheng Chu to repair them. Zheng Chu, not knowing that the woman living opposite was Su Mang, agreed to help the aunties.

That evening, Zheng Chu repaired the small furniture and was about to deliver them to the aunties when he accidentally bumped into Su Mang, who was moving boxes. It was then that they realized they had become neighbors. The incident with the small furniture made Su Mang even more furious, and their conflict escalated once again.

In the morning, Zheng Chu went out and saw Su Mang's new car parked at the entrance, blocking more than half of the door, affecting others' access. Its tire had also been punctured. Su Mang came out and saw Zheng Chu squatting next to her car, and with her tire punctured, she naturally assumed Zheng Chu had done it. Zheng Chu explained the situation clearly to her. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu to help change the tire.

Zheng Chu helped without holding a grudge, which made Su Mang change her impression of him. At the company, Su Mang actually greatly admired Zheng Chu's work ability. Zheng Chu once again brought up his desire to resign because his work as a travel experience designer was not respected.

Su Mang told Zheng Chu that she had never disrespected his work, and from now on, if Zheng Chu felt that a hotel company's experience was unsatisfactory, the company would no longer cooperate with them. This surprised Zheng Chu. Although the two still had their disagreements, for the first time, they reached a consensus on the treatment of travel experience designers.

Since its successful acquisition, the first case accepted by CT Company would not only generate a large amount of tourism demand but was also the first very important case after the company's merger. Su Mang called a meeting with her colleagues from the tourism department to discuss this matter.

At the meeting, Su Mang informed everyone that it had been decided that Zheng Chu would be responsible for this case, and she asked him to work overtime with his colleagues today to submit the initial draft. It was Zheng Chu's first time being appreciated by his leader and entrusted with such an important task since he started working, and he was overwhelmed. However, those present felt otherwise. Everyone had originally thought Zheng Chu was determined to resign.

Unexpectedly, not only did Zheng Chu not resign, but he also became the person in charge. This meant they all had to work extra hours, so naturally, there was a lot of grumbling about Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu led everyone to work overtime, and finally, close to midnight, they finished the initial draft. His colleagues all went home. As Zheng Chu was about to leave, he saw Su Mang still working in the office.

He handed the initial draft to Su Mang. Knowing that Su Mang had no intention of leaving yet, Zheng Chu, to make her get off work early and go home to rest, pretended to be mysterious and scared her by saying the garage was unsafe at night. Even though Su Mang was strong, she was still a woman. Startled by Zheng Chu, she immediately decided to go home with him. Zheng Chu secretly chuckled.

Zheng Chu took Su Mang to a wonton shop he had previously reviewed for a late-night snack. The shop owner highly praised the suggestions Zheng Chu had made during his review. Su Mang tasted the wontons, found them indeed delicious, and inwardly admired Zheng Chu's ability as a travel experience expert. After they finished their late-night snack, they returned home together. As they were going upstairs, they saw Chen Shanshan holding a cardboard box, preparing to leave.

Zheng Chu's expression was awkward. Although Su Mang didn't know the relationship between this woman and Zheng Chu, she could tell it was unusual from the awkward atmosphere, so Su Mang discreetly left first. Chen Shanshan thought Su Mang was Zheng Chu's new girlfriend. To ease the awkwardness, she said that she used to feel guilty towards Zheng Chu, but seeing him now, she was relieved. Hearing this, Zheng Chu said disappointedly, "You really don't understand me.

How could I like a woman like that?" Chen Shanshan left feeling snubbed. Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Su Mang, who couldn't help but fiercely retort at Zheng Chu once again. Tang Guoguo held a fan meeting. At the meeting, Guoguo decided to invite Zheng Chu onto the stage and, without permission, announced to all the fans that Zheng Chu was her boyfriend. Guoguo's agent, Tony, had no prior knowledge and was utterly shocked by her action.

Tang Ming knew these were all his sister's wishful thinking and that Zheng Chu would not likely appear at the event. Seeing Guoguo acting so foolishly, Tang Ming also felt anxious. Guoguo called Zheng Chu to invite him over, but Zheng Chu was busy and couldn't make it, so he naturally didn't show up. Guoguo was very sad, and she had boasted to her fans, now she didn't know how to face everyone.

Guoguo, while Tony and the fans weren't paying attention, secretly changed her clothes and slipped away. Guoguo, who had been repeatedly rejected by Zheng Chu, went to a barbecue stall to drink away her sorrows. Guoguo, who couldn't hold her liquor, got drunk as she drank. She was already unhappy, and fueled by alcohol, Guoguo started acting wildly. Passersby, seeing that it was the celebrity Tang Guoguo, stopped to watch, and the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

Su Chang happened to pass by and thought so many people gathered meant there was something new happening. He then saw Tang Guoguo acting wildly while drunk. Su Chang quickly stepped forward, dispersed the onlookers, and took Guoguo away. Guoguo woke up at Su Chang's place in the morning. Her spoiled young lady temper flared up, thinking Su Chang had ill intentions towards her, and she yelled that Su Chang was a pervert and a hooligan.

Su Chang's good intentions were taken for granted and scorned, so naturally, he was infuriated. Guoguo angrily went out to leave, only to find a large number of reporters blocking Su Chang's doorway. It would be terrible if she were seen by reporters at that moment, so Guoguo had to turn back, completely changing her arrogant and domineering demeanor, and humbly begged Su Chang to help her get out.

As a condition for helping, Su Chang asked for Guoguo's phone number. Guoguo deliberately left a string of numbers that, when read aloud, were insulting words. After Guoguo safely left, Su Chang discovered the meaning of the phone number, regretting that he had been tricked by Tang Guoguo again. Just then, he saw Tang Guoguo's wallet left at his house. Su Chang had a plan to get even.

Su Chang took Guoguo's bank card to the mall and spent over 20,000 yuan. Tang Guoguo received a spending notification and knew Su Chang was behind it; she was absolutely furious. She called Su Chang, threatening to sue him if he didn't return the money. Su Chang, with a smug expression, asked Guoguo if she hadn't received the package yet. Guoguo was wondering why he asked that when a delivery arrived at her door.

Guoguo opened the package and discovered that Su Chang had bought a pile of things for her according to his own taste, and naturally, the money was charged to Guoguo's card. Now Guoguo had even less recourse against him. Zheng Chu timidly came to Su Mang's office. He asked Su Mang if she knew that the chairman of Tang Group, with whom they were collaborating on this case, was Tang Guoguo's father.

As Su Mang remembered Tang Guoguo's appearance, as if she wanted to bite her, a chill ran down her spine. Su Mang suddenly recalled that Tang Guoguo had always relentlessly pursued Zheng Chu. Now it seemed that Zheng Chu was the most suitable and promising candidate to secure the cooperation with Tang Group. Zheng Chu, unable to resist Su Mang's repeated threats and inducements, had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Zheng Chu originally wanted to ask Tang Ming for help in arranging a meeting with Chairman Tang. However, Tang Ming's relationship with his father had always been strained. Tang Ming suggested to Zheng Chu that they still had to approach Tang Guoguo for this matter. Left with no choice, Zheng Chu had to call Guoguo. Guoguo didn't mind Zheng Chu having stood her up before and agreed to help arrange a meeting between Zheng Chu and Chairman Tang.

That night, Zheng Chu and Su Mang pulled another all-nighter for the proposal they were to submit to Chairman Tang the next day. At dawn, both of them, without rest, rushed to the agreed-upon golf course. Su Mang doubted whether Zheng Chu's golf skills would be enough to please Chairman Tang. Zheng Chu confidently told Su Mang, "I wouldn't dare boast about anything else, but when it comes to golf, I can be considered half a professional player."

After they went in, knowing that Chairman Tang had gone to the restroom, they waited in the lobby. When Guoguo saw Su Mang, she naturally couldn't resist bickering with her. However, Su Mang was now representing the company to cooperate with Tang Group, so she merely smiled at Guoguo's provocation. Chairman Tang came out of the restroom and happened to see Chen Shanshan arguing with a cleaner. She was speaking rudely and disrespectfully.

Chairman Tang didn't know who Chen Shanshan was, so his first impression of this young woman was naturally very bad. Zheng Chu's golf skills were indeed no exaggeration; he managed to make Chairman Tang very happy. The group, after playing golf, were chatting and laughing, preparing to rest. Unexpectedly, they ran into Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan, who also came to play golf. Tang Ming explained that he had coincidentally met Shanshan and they came to play together.

Guoguo, however, didn't believe this excuse. Her intuition told her that Chen Shanshan, this vixen, after dumping Zheng Chu, now wanted to attach herself to someone wealthy and powerful, trying to get close to Tang Ming to enter their Tang family. It was only when Guoguo accused Chen Shanshan that Su Mang understood the relationship between Zheng Chu and these two girls. Chairman Tang's first impression of Chen Shanshan was already bad.

Now, knowing that she was Zheng Chu's ex-girlfriend and that his own son was involved with this girl, he immediately became furious. The father and son got into an argument, and Chairman Tang, in a fit of rage, fainted on the ground. Everyone quickly rushed him to the hospital. After the doctor's diagnosis, he informed everyone that Chairman Tang was no longer in danger.

Tang Ming finally felt relieved, but facing the long-standing misunderstandings and grudges between the father and son, he felt troubled and didn't know how to resolve them. Tang Ming sat on a bench, looking troubled. Yan Xiaoqiu came to visit her hospitalized father, saw Tang Ming's worried expression, sat down to comfort him, and tried to console Tang Ming with her own personal experiences.

Zheng Chu invited Tang Ming to box the next day. Tang Ming intended to explain to Zheng Chu about seeing him and Chen Shanshan at the stadium. Tang Ming explained that they were just friends and he treated Shanshan like a sister. Zheng Chu said he didn't care, and even if Shanshan was truly with Tang Ming, he would actually be relieved because Tang Ming was trustworthy. Zheng Chu said he invited him out because he needed a favor.

Now that Chairman Tang was hospitalized, the cooperation might be postponed. To facilitate the cooperation with Tang's Group, Zheng Chu decided to play the emotional card. Tang Ming agreed to help Zheng Chu with this, providing Zheng Chu with a prescription list and a meal menu, both highly beneficial for Old Tang's recovery. Zheng Chu took leave at home to prepare meals for Old Tang.

Su Mang came back and saw that Zheng Chu's reason for taking leave was to cook at home, and she couldn't help but repeatedly accuse him. Zheng Chu, playing coy, did not tell Su Mang the true intention of his cooking. He decided to let Su Mang know when the matter succeeded. Su Mang tasted Zheng Chu's dishes and found them pretty good, so she accepted Zheng Chu's invitation and sat down to eat.

Zheng Chu delivered the cooked food to the Tang family. Although Tang Ming told Zheng Chu not to tell Old Tang that he made the list, Zheng Chu decided to tell Old Tang the whole story to alleviate the conflict between the Tang father and son. Old Tang showed little emotion, but his heart was warmed. After Zheng Chu left, Old Tang called the company to arrange the contract for cooperation with CT company.

Zheng Chu went to the hospital to find Tang Ming. As the two were talking, they saw Su Mang walk out of the consultation area. Zheng Chu kindly stepped forward, wanting Tang Ming to help look at Su Mang's medical records. Su Mang was afraid that her pregnancy would be discovered, so she stubbornly blocked him from seeing it. As a last resort, she said that she was seeing a gynecologist, and Zheng Chu was instantly frozen in embarrassment.

After returning, Zheng Chu desperately apologized to Su Mang. Finally, a bowl of hot and sour noodles from Zheng Chu finally appeased Su Mang. The next day at work, Su Mang went to sign the contract with Tang's Enterprise. To congratulate the success of this contract, Su Mang treated her colleagues in the tourism department, letting them leave work early to celebrate, and she would cover the expenses.

Su Mang knew that if she went, everyone would not have a full good time, so she used an excuse of having something to do and didn't go with them. That evening, everyone was having fun at the KTV. Xiao Gu even clamored that since Su Mang was paying, they should drink the most expensive wine.

Zheng Chu stopped him and warned everyone that if they wanted to drink expensive wine, they should pay for it themselves, and they shouldn't be dishonest. Zheng Chu secretly went back to Su Mang's home halfway through and saw Su Mang eating vermicelli crackers alone. Zheng Chu dragged Su Mang to the KTV, wanting Su Mang to integrate into the group. Everyone egged on Su Mang and Zheng Chu to sing a duet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Mang started singing, she amazed everyone, including Zheng Chu. In the restroom, Zheng Chu overheard two colleagues badmouthing Su Mang and slandering her. To protect Su Mang's reputation, Zheng Chu immediately took action to teach these two people a lesson. Su Mang saw him and reprimanded Zheng Chu for causing trouble after drinking. Zheng Chu felt it was good to vent his anger and didn't defend himself at all.

The next day at work, the tourism department received new personnel appointments. Zheng Chu was promoted to team leader of Group 1 due to his excellent performance. Just as Zheng Chu was feeling pleased with himself, Su Mang came in with a stern face and coldly stated in front of everyone that Zheng Chu had fought the previous night, and therefore decided to revoke his appointment. Zheng Chu's smile instantly froze on his face.

Xiao Gu spoke up for Zheng Chu and told Su Mang that the reason Zheng Chu acted was to defend her. Su Mang was surprised upon hearing this. Su Mang had a dinner engagement to attend, but she couldn't drink alcohol, so she had to call Zheng Chu to help her out. Zheng Chu was not at all ambiguous; he drank two seasoned drinkers under the table.

Zheng Chu himself was extremely drunk, so Su Mang had to help him home. This scene was seen by Su Mang's secretary, who also took pictures. Zheng Chu woke up in Su Mang's home in the morning and found himself sleeping only in his underwear. He feigned shyness, which made Su Mang laugh, and she told him that he had vomited everywhere last night, so she had to help him change his clothes.

Through repeated misunderstandings and assistance, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Su Mang took Zheng Chu to Hainan to inspect a tourist route. Unexpectedly, seven people suffered food poisoning in a hotel along their route. The exposure of this incident had an extremely negative impact on this tourist route and even the entire development plan. Su Mang and Zheng Chu were both distraught. Su Mang was even scolded by someone sent from the head office.

Zheng Chu couldn't bear to see Su Mang being scolded, so he stepped forward. Zheng Chu sent Xiao Gu to inquire where these seven poisoned people had eaten before coming to the restaurant. The investigation revealed that all seven had eaten barbecue at a street-side stall. Not only that, but everyone who ate at that stall at the time has now also developed food poisoning symptoms, indicating a turn for the better in the situation.

Just as Zheng Chu thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Mang suddenly fell ill. Zheng Chu took Su Mang to the hospital and only then learned that Su Mang was pregnant. Su Mang also knew she could no longer hide it after she woke up. Su Mang felt that since Zheng Chu already knew about her pregnancy, and Zheng Chu's cooking skills were decent, she directly appointed Zheng Chu as her personal male nanny.

After the Sanya incident was resolved, Su Mang and Zheng Chu returned to Shanghai. While waiting for their flight at the airport, they coincidentally met Chen Shanshan. Chen Shanshan deliberately greeted Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu no longer wanted any involvement with Chen Shanshan, so his attitude was very cold. Chen Shanshan saw Su Mang next to him and felt a bit jealous. While browsing news on her phone, Su Mang saw gossip about Su Chang and Tang Guoguo, becoming furious, she decided to rush back to Shanghai "to clean up the mess".

Su Chang held a press conference at his magic museum. Reporters eagerly scrambled to interview Su Chang and Tang Guoguo about their relationship. Su Mang happened to come looking for Su Chang, but seeing him acting so foolishly, she was too bothered to deal with him and left first. Coincidentally, Guoguo dragged Zheng Chu to confront Su Chang. Zheng Chu saw Su Mang walking out of the magic museum in a huff and was puzzled.

Guoguo brought Zheng Chu as her boyfriend, hoping to make Su Chang back off and stop harassing her. Su Chang declared that as long as they weren't married, he still had a chance. Tang Ming saw Yan Xiaoqiu guarding her father in the hospital ward. Tang Ming told Xiaoqiu that the doctors had decided to perform bypass surgery for her father. Xiaoqiu asked about the surgery cost; 100,000 yuan was far beyond her means. Xiaoqiu clenched her fists, feeling lost.

That evening, an elderly gentleman under Tang Ming's care, after being transferred to a regular ward post-surgery, suddenly had a heart attack and passed away. During the family's dispute with the hospital, Tang Ming accidentally injured his arm. Xiaoqiu happened to come to the office and saw him, concernedly asking about his injury. Tang Ming took Xiaoqiu to the hospital kitchen. He prepared a nutritious porridge suitable for her father. Xiaoqiu was very touched.

While cooking the porridge, Xiaoqiu chatted with Tang Ming, saying that having an elderly person to care for at home was actually good. It allowed one to experience future life in advance and cherish the present life even more. Xiaoqiu's words enlightened Tang Ming, who was currently in a cold war with his father, giving him new insights into father-son relationships. Seeing Xiaoqiu's back, Tang Ming was somewhat lost in thought.

Zheng Chu returned home and played with his parrot, Earl. He also posted a comment on the company forum: "Workplace encounter with a female boss, a long road of 'leveling up'." Before he finished typing, Earl messed with the keyboard and accidentally stepped on the send key, sending the post out directly. Su Mang, who also happened to be browsing the forum at home, saw what Zheng Chu wrote at a glance.

Immediately, comments flooded in below, with terms like "black spider" and "female Yama" popping up. Just as Su Mang was about to get angry, Zheng Chu knocked on her door. As Su Mang's chosen male nanny, Zheng Chu felt responsible for her current diet and nutrition. The first thing he did upon entering was check the refrigerator, cleaning out all the expired food and junk food.

The two established three rules for their newly formed employment relationship: first, Zheng Chu could not reveal Su Mang's pregnancy news; second, he could not inquire about Su Mang's personal privacy; and third, he could not mix personal and professional matters. Xiaoqiu was tidying up her father's newspapers scattered on the floor in the hospital. She found a divorce agreement that had fallen under the cabinet. Xiaoqiu's father and the deceased elderly gentleman were in the same ward.

Xiaoqiu realized that the elderly gentleman's sudden heart attack was not the hospital's responsibility. Xiaoqiu stepped forward with this evidence, helping Tang Ming out of a predicament and clarifying the truth for the family. Tang Ming was very grateful to Xiaoqiu. He said Xiaoqiu was like the warm sun in spring, bringing warmth to people. For some reason, Tang Ming always associated Xiaoqiu with Shanshan. Shanshan was like the summer sun, passionate and uninhibited.

Although they were two girls with completely different personalities, Tang Ming always felt a similarity. Zheng Chu was diligently cleaning Su Mang's house. Su Chang came to find Su Mang. Seeing Zheng Chu at his sister's house, he assumed Zheng Chu was a "two-timer" scumbag. Zheng Chu then realized that Su Chang was Su Mang's younger brother. Zheng Chu, unaware that Su Mang's pregnancy was a secret even from her own brother, accidentally let it slip.

Su Mang, furious, threw Zheng Chu out. Su Chang assumed the child was her ex-husband's, feeling injustice for his sister – she finally got divorced, and now she had her ex-husband's child. Su Mang did not explain the full story to Su Chang. Su Chang told Su Mang that he was truly serious about Tang Guoguo. Su Mang only advised Su Chang that fame brings trouble and warned him to stay away from Tang Guoguo.

Su Mang arrived at the company and received a complaint letter from her superior. It turned out that their department's intern, Fang Yuan, made numerous mistakes during a tourism experience in Dali due to insufficient preliminary preparation, damaging the company's image. Su Mang was very angry and severely scolded Fang Yuan. Colleagues in the tourism department were startled by Su Mang's demeanor.

Everyone privately discussed that ever since Zheng Chu and Su Mang returned from Sanya, Su Mang's attitude towards Zheng Chu had been unusual, suggesting there was likely something fishy going on. Shanghai was hosting a University Tourism Alliance Experience Competition, challenging participants to earn the most money in the shortest time. Su Mang gave Fang Yuan an ultimatum: she must achieve first place in this competition; if she failed, she didn't need to return.

Tang Ming took Xiaoqiu's father to the courtyard to bask in the sun. During his conversation with Yan's father, Tang Ming learned that the pair of bracelets he gave his mother was actually designed by Xiaoqiu herself. However, because she had no fame and was only an assistant, her work was attributed to someone else's name. Yan's father and Tang Ming joked about when Xiaoqiu would find her other half, so he could rest assured even if he was gone.

Tang Ming comforted Yan's father. The two chatted and laughed. Xiaoqiu returned from outside and happened to see this scene, feeling a long-lost warmth in her heart. Zheng Chu returned to the company and heard from colleagues about Fang Yuan being severely scolded by Su Mang and having to participate in the Shanghai Tourism Alliance Competition. Zheng Chu called the disheartened Fang Yuan out for a private chat.

Su Mang happened to see them and was very curious about what Zheng Chu said to Fang Yuan. After work, Su Mang invited Zheng Chu out to discuss this matter. Zheng Chu used the conversation as a provocation to get Su Mang to also participate in the competition, wanting her to gain a down-to-earth understanding of an experience designer's job.

To establish her authority as a leader, Su Mang decided to participate in the competition with Zheng Chu and Fang Yuan. The experience competition began. The organizers collected each participant's phone and wallet, giving each person only one yuan. Su Mang, as an elite white-collar worker who was not used to manual labor, naturally could not do physically demanding jobs. The three ran around for most of the day, but no store was willing to hire them.

Zheng Chu worried that Su Mang was so tired and hadn't eaten. He went to a bakery and, after much persuasion, exchanged one yuan for a bread and gave it to Su Mang. Finally, the three found work at a pizza shop. Zheng Chu showed off his skills in front of Fang Yuan and Su Mang, expertly making pizzas, which impressed Su Mang.

The hospital had started urging Yan Xiaoqiu to pay the fees as soon as possible, so that medication and surgery could proceed for Yan's father. Xiaoqiu held the notice, feeling very anxious. Zheng Chu's pizzas were a great success, and the boss gave each of them 100 yuan. To compete for first place, Zheng Chu took the 300 yuan to buy a cart of apples on the street. He and Fang Yuan started shouting to sell the apples.

Su Mang naturally couldn't let go of her pride and hid to the side, covering her face. However, seeing Zheng Chu and Fang Yuan working so hard, Su Mang was involuntarily drawn to them and naturally joined them. Zheng Chu saw Su Mang's change and her after she put down her leader's facade, smiling with relief.

Although Su Mang's team ultimately only won second place in the competition, their spirit of cooperation and communication skills were highly admired by the Tourism Alliance. The alliance decided to make an exception and list MG Company as their second partner, a piece of news that greatly excited the three of them. After this experience, Su Mang truly understood the hardships and struggles of an experience designer's job. She also decided not to fire Fang Yuan.

Zheng Chu told Su Mang that Fang Yuan's previous mistakes were not due to a bad attitude, as Su Mang thought, but rather a lack of experience. After this experience competition, Fang Yuan had already felt Su Mang's change in attitude towards her, and that was enough. Under the setting sun, Su Mang and Zheng Chu chatted and laughed as they went home together.

Tang Guoguo came to find Zheng Chu, insisting that Zheng Chu accompany her to eat and go shopping tomorrow. Zheng Chu decisively refused. Guoguo took out the theater tickets of the master Zheng Chu most admired to lure Zheng Chu, but Zheng Chu remained unmoved. Guoguo took out her trump card to threaten Zheng Chu, saying that if he didn't go, she would tell the paparazzi that he was her boyfriend.

Zheng Chu had no choice but to agree, but he immediately called Su Chang and asked him to come along. In order to completely dispel Tang Guoguo's thoughts, Su Chang also called Su Mang, wanting to use her to tie down Zheng Chu. The next day, the four people met in the same escape room. After some arguing, they finally split into two teams to pass the levels.

Zheng Chu and Su Mang were assigned to one team, while Guoguo was pulled away by Su Chang to the other side. The two teams agreed to have a competition, and the losing team would treat everyone to dinner. Zheng Chu and Su Mang cooperated along the way, although there were many quarrels, bickering, and disagreements, they still successfully reached the final level. In order to reach the key placed high up, Zheng Chu hugged Su Mang despite her objections.

Although they successfully passed the level, the price was being beaten up by Su Mang. On Su Chang's side, however, a small problem occurred. The circuit in the escape room suddenly went out, and Tang Guoguo, who was afraid of the dark, hugged Su Chang in fright. Su Chang gently comforted her. Guoguo told him about her lonely childhood with lingering fear. The two gradually entered a better state, and finally couldn't help but kiss.

Just as the two were about to kiss, the circuit suddenly repaired. Guoguo fled out of the room in embarrassment. Seeing that Zheng Chu and Su Mang had already come out, she forcibly dragged Zheng Chu to accompany her to the theater. Zheng Chu pushed her to Su Chang, and he forcibly took Su Mang back instead of Su Chang.

Su Mang was still angry about Zheng Chu hugging her forcefully, so she tricked him out of the car halfway and drove away by herself. Zheng Chu smiled wryly at the sight. Yan Xiaoqiu was very worried after seeing her father's bill, so she secretly called Zheng Chu to borrow money. Tang Ming heard it from behind and quietly paid the fee for her. Su Mang hasn't had morning sickness these past two days.

She feels very strange and worries if there is something wrong with the baby, so she decides to go to the hospital for a detailed checkup. She happens to run into Zheng Chu who is about to go out, so she naturally asks Zheng Chu to drive her. Zheng Chu originally planned to go to the hospital to give Xiaoqiu money.

He didn't know that Su Mang was also going to the hospital, so he bluntly said that he had something to do and couldn't take her today. When Zheng Chu arrived at the hospital to give Yan Xiaoqiu money, Su Mang also arrived at the hospital. She happened to see Zheng Chu giving Su Mang money. Coincidentally, the two met in front of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

This made Su Mang assume that Zheng Chu had caused the girl to become pregnant and wanted her to have an abortion. In an instant, she defined Zheng Chu as a scumbag. Yan's father's surgery fee was still short of some money. Zheng Chu applied to Su Mang to pre-pay the salaries of the two of them. Su Mang thought that Zheng Chu was cleaning up his mess for his love affair.

Zheng Chu explained in every possible way, but Su Mang just didn't believe him, and kept calling him a scumbag. However, Su Mang still lent her money to Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu saw that Su Mang didn't listen to his explanation, so he had to give up for the time being. After Su Mang returned home, she drove Zheng Chu, who came to cook for her, out.

After a while, she couldn't bear the hunger, so she called Zheng Chu back again. After Zheng Chu finished cooking, he saw Su Mang sleeping on the sofa, so he lay down on her bed until the next morning. Su Mang woke up groggily and wanted to go to bed to sleep, but then she discovered Zheng Chu lying on her bed, and couldn't help but be shocked.

The two were arguing when Su Chang opened the door and came in. Seeing this scene, he naturally assumed that the two had already slept together. Zheng Chu and Su Mang explained again and again, but the more they explained, the worse it got. Su Chang accidentally took in a stray dog. He named the dog Coca-Cola and placed it in a foster kennel.

Once, when he went to find Tang Guoguo, he saw Coca-Cola running out, so he hugged it and took Guoguo to the foster kennel to play together. Guoguo had a great time playing with those dogs, and her relationship with Su Chang became closer unconsciously. Yan Xiaoqiu learned that Tang Ming had paid her hospitalization fee for her, and she was very grateful to him.

She couldn't help but secretly develop a love for him, so she wanted to choose a gift to give to Tang Ming. She happened to meet a girl who came to Shanghai for tourism while she was looking at flowers in a flower shop. The girl told her that the pot of flowers she had her eye on was called Kenilworth ivy, and the flower language was "Please notice my love."

Yan Xiaoqiu was overjoyed when she heard that the flower was very suitable for her heart. The two introduced themselves to each other. The girl said that her name was Xiaolu and she was getting married soon. Learning that Yan Xiaoqiu was a jewelry designer, she asked her to design a wedding ring for her. Yan Xiaoqiu readily agreed. Xiaoqiu told Zheng Chu that a kind doctor had already paid all of Yan's father's medical expenses.

Zheng Chu jokingly said to Xiaoqiu that the doctor should be Xiaoqiu's boyfriend. Zheng Chu came to the hospital to visit Yan's father. Su Mang also happened to come to the hospital for a physical examination for the baby. Su Mang saw Zheng Chu and curiously followed him. Only then did she know that Zheng Chu and the girl were not what she had imagined.

In a great mood, Su Mang dragged Zheng Chu to go shopping with her and bought a lot of things. Su Mang told Zheng Chu that she wanted to take him to a place. Tang Guoguo was invited to play in Su Chang's old house that looked like a children's playground. As a result, she happened to meet Su Mang bringing Zheng Chu.

Guoguo was worried that Zheng Chu would misunderstand if he saw her and Su Chang together, so she pulled him and hid. Su Mang and Zheng Chu almost beat the two people hiding behind the curtain as thieves. After discovering that it was a false alarm, Zheng Chu persuaded Tang Guoguo, who insisted on dragging him away, to stay here for dinner. In the end, the two men cooked, leaving Guoguo and Su Mang staring at each other with hostility.

Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming arranged to go running together in the park. They discovered that they shared many common interests and hobbies. Previously, both of them ran alone, but now with someone accompanying them, the tedious sport of running became much more interesting. Halfway through their run, both were already out of breath. Xiaoqiu saw some young girls playing jump rope nearby and joined in.

Tang Ming watched Xiaoqiu jumping, his face beaming with such a warm smile, like the bright sunlight in spring opening up his heart. In Su Mang and Su Chang's childhood home, Zheng Chu and Su Chang, two grown men, were downstairs picking vegetables and preparing lunch. Su Mang and Tang Guoguo, two women, stayed in the room, clashing fiercely. Tang Guoguo warned Su Mang to stay away from their Zheng Chu.

Su Mang cleverly retaliated against Tang Guoguo's attack, leaving Tang Guoguo speechless. The two women, with menacing looks, were at a stalemate when suddenly they shrieked, each frantically grabbing pillows and other objects to throw at each other. Zheng Chu and Su Chang heard the screams and commotion and were startled, thinking the two women had really started fighting. However, when they ran in, they discovered that they were frightened by a cockroach.

After Zheng Chu had prepared the meal, he thought that the four of them had finally had their fun and their arguments, and could now sit down quietly for a good meal. Unexpectedly, wherever women were, there was a battlefield. Tang Guoguo and Su Mang secretly competed, making the meal utterly frustrating for Zheng Chu and Su Chang. After Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming finished their exercise, it was already late.

On their way home, Xiaoqiu shyly gave Tang Ming a small gift she had prepared – a delicate and elegant brooch modeled after a snapdragon. Xiaoqiu had also placed her subtle feelings for Tang Ming into this brooch. Tang Ming asked Xiaoqiu what kind of flower it was, and Xiaoqiu, lowering her head shyly, told Tang Ming to look it up himself when he got home. Xiaoqiu pinned the brooch onto Tang Ming.

The fountain next to the square suddenly activated, and the two of them danced in the center of the fountain. Subtle, unspoken affection stirred in the air. The next day, Zheng Chu's proposal at the company meeting was exceptionally well done, earning him the admiration of his colleagues. Su Mang came to inform Zheng Chu that since his proposal was so good, he should join them for the upcoming field investigation.

Zheng Chu only learned upon asking that almost everyone from the tourism department would be deployed for this field investigation, even Su Mang herself. Su Mang explained that she had listened to Zheng Chu's advice; as a leader, she shouldn't just look from top to bottom, but sometimes also get hands-on. Zheng Chu asked with a wry smile, "Is this considered a reward for me?" Su Mang smiled faintly and said, "Wrong.

The reward is that you no longer have to do odd jobs at the company." Zheng Chu, with a mischievous smile, told Su Mang, "Then you'd better prepare well!" Su Mang was unconcerned. Zheng Chu, Su Mang, and the others arrived in Shaoxing for the project investigation. Su Mang arranged for everyone to split up. She and Zheng Chu went to Shunwang Temple to find a temple guardian.

Halfway there, Tang Guoguo called Zheng Chu, wailing that her father was arranging a blind date for her. Zheng Chu brought up Su Chang as a shield, telling Tang Guoguo to go to Su Chang for help, as Su Chang would surely be happy to assist. Su Mang complained to Zheng Chu that Su Chang knowing him was his biggest misfortune.

As the two of them were bickering, their car suddenly broke down halfway, with no village ahead and no inn behind. The two had no choice but to get out and walk quickly to find a household. Along the way, they bickered and played, yet got along very well. Su Chang received Zheng Chu's heads-up and eagerly called Tang Guoguo to help her out. Tang Guoguo currently had no better option, so she grudgingly made do with Su Chang.

A couple came into Su Chang's shop. Su Chang accidentally spilled a drink on the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman was very finicky, and the man was a typical rich second generation. While calling the woman "honey" or "baby," he was going to a blind date later as a formality. Su Chang really couldn't stand such a person. As Su Mang and Zheng Chu walked, it grew dark. They finally found a house where people lived.

A middle-aged couple resided in the house. Zheng Chu asked the couple for directions to their destination, only to find it was still more than ten "li" away. It seemed impossible to reach it today. The kind couple lent Zheng Chu and Su Mang a tent. Seeing the two hungry people, the couple gave them one of the chickens they raised. Zheng Chu and Su Mang finally found a place to stay for the night.

Zheng Chu clumsily set up the tent and roasted the chicken. Zheng Chu told Su Mang that she hadn't eaten much all day, and that if the roasted chicken tasted good later, she should eat more. Su Mang and Zheng Chu discussed taking turns sleeping in the tent. However, Zheng Chu couldn't bear to let Su Mang, a pregnant woman, stay up all night. When it was time to switch, he didn't wake Su Mang.

Later in the night, Zheng Chu was truly tired and cold, so he had to enter the tent. Su Mang kept muttering about being cold in her sleep. Zheng Chu took off his clothes and covered Su Mang with them. To prevent Su Mang from making trouble for him the next day, Zheng Chu foresightfully recorded Su Mang's cries of "cold."

In the morning, Xiao Gu and his companions received a message from Zheng Chu and quickly went to search for Su Mang and Zheng Chu. Meanwhile, in the tent, Su Mang woke up to find Zheng Chu holding her, and she questioned Zheng Chu why he was hugging her. Zheng Chu explained to Su Mang that she herself had said she was cold in her sleep, which was why he hugged her.

Zheng Chu was glad he had kept the recording as evidence, which finally appeased Su Mang. Just then, Xiao Gu and his companions found Zheng Chu, seeing him emerge from the tent. Su Chang rushed to the restaurant where Tang Guoguo's blind date was taking place. At the room entrance, he encountered the rich second generation from his shop earlier. It turned out this rich second generation was Tang Guoguo's blind date for the day.

In front of Tang's father and everyone present, Tang Guoguo declared Su Chang was her boyfriend. Tang's father naturally had no pleasant expression for the uninvited Su Chang. Su Chang also had no pleasant expression for that man; after the incident in his shop, he knew this was an unreliable playboy. The blind date ended unhappily. Tang's father was furious with Tang Guoguo's actions.

Su Chang, not listening to Tang Guoguo, fabricated a story to Tang's father that he was the heir of some international conglomerate. Facing the enraged Tang's father, Su Chang told the truth, admitting he was just an unknown small magician. Tang's father left in anger. Zheng Chu and Su Mang finally found the guardian of Shunwang Temple.

The guardian told them the legend of the azure luan dancing in the mirror, which led to the legendary story between Jian Li and Emperor Shun. This story, heard from the old man, gave them new inspiration for this route. Su Mang decided to end her vacation early and return to the company.

Su Mang and Zheng Chu returned to Shanghai. The next morning, Zheng Chu came to deliver breakfast to Su Mang. Su Mang was wearing pajamas, disheveled, and groggily walked to the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly realized her appearance and quickly ran back into the house. She changed into a presentable outfit and put on her makeup before opening the door for Zheng Chu.

Zheng Chu teased Su Mang about her appearance right after waking up, asking if she was hiding someone in the house. Su Mang flusteredly took the breakfast and told Zheng Chu to leave quickly. After driving Zheng Chu away, Su Mang didn't understand what she was doing. While Su Mang was enjoying the delicious breakfast Zheng Chu brought, she heard Tang Guoguo knocking on Zheng Chu's front door.

Su Mang saw Tang Guoguo posing in various ways in front of Zheng Chu's house, secretly muttering that with her figure, any pose would look the same. Watching Tang Guoguo enter Zheng Chu's house, Su Mang couldn't suppress her curiosity. She wanted to know what these two single individuals were doing alone in a room. Perhaps Su Mang herself hadn't realized the subtle change in her attitude towards Zheng Chu.

In the morning, the two of them arrived at the office and heard colleagues gossiping about them sleeping in the same tent. For some reason, Su Mang started having morning sickness again, feeling very puzzled. Regarding the colleagues' whispers outside, Su Mang pulled Zheng Chu in front of everyone. She sternly told them that if anyone dared to spread rumors again, she would deal with them severely.

In the evening, Cai Ling called Su Mang to ask about the rumors concerning her and Zheng Chu, wondering why they had spread so widely, even reaching the UK. Su Mang firmly told Cai Ling that Zheng Chu was not her type, which was why she let him confidently be her bodyguard and nanny. However, Cai Ling didn't agree. She told Su Mang that to capture a person, one must first capture their stomach.

Upon hearing this, Su Mang was stunned. At this moment, Zheng Chu and Tang Ming were boxing at the gym. Zheng Chu was very agitated, punching the sandbag repeatedly. It turned out that Zheng Chu was upset because colleagues in the company were gossiping about him and Su Mang, causing Su Mang to not only give him a cold shoulder at work but also frown at him at home.

Tang Ming told Zheng Chu that there's only one reason a woman distances herself from a man: that man must have done something improper to her. Zheng Chu hesitated, not revealing that he and Su Mang had spent a night together in the tent. Tang Ming was going to attend a cocktail party in the evening and was missing a female companion. Coincidentally, Chen Shanshan's flight had just departed.

Tang Ming met Yan Xiaoqiu at the hospital entrance, who was there to pick up medicine for her father. He asked Yan Xiaoqiu if she could take a day off to help him with a favor. Tang Ming took Yan Xiaoqiu to a dress shop. Tang Ming didn't directly tell Yan Xiaoqiu that he was taking her to a cocktail party.

He only explained that he wanted to give a friend a gift and hoped Yan Xiaoqiu could try it on for him. Yan Xiaoqiu appeared before Tang Ming in a black evening gown. Adorned in the evening gown, Yan Xiaoqiu looked elegant, graceful, and stunningly beautiful. Tang Ming was amazed by Yan Xiaoqiu's beauty. Yan Xiaoqiu's bag happened to contain a set of jewelry she designed herself.

Tang Ming asked Yan Xiaoqiu to wear them and attend the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce event as his companion. Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu danced gracefully at the ball. The handsome man and beautiful woman became the center of attention. Tang Guoguo saw that Tang Ming's companion was the female designer she had previously met on set. Tang Guoguo liked Yan Xiaoqiu very much.

Regarding her being her brother's companion, Tang Guoguo even thought that if Yan Xiaoqiu were her brother's girlfriend in the future, she would be very happy. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu to be responsible for liaising with the marketing department. Zheng Chu was feeling very down due to the company's gossip. Zheng Chu went to Su Mang's office to ask her why she assigned him this task.

Su Mang told Zheng Chu that although she was reluctant to admit it, Zheng Chu was the most meticulous during the Hangzhou inspection trip, and it was most appropriate for him to handle the liaison. Zheng Chu worked overtime to organize the proposal and handed it over to Fei Yi from the marketing department. Fei Yi thought that Zheng Chu's attached promotion text to the proposal was interfering with the marketing department's affairs and was slightly displeased.

Zheng Chu put forward his unique insights, believing that departments should help each other to complete work more effectively. Chen Shanshan attended a company gathering. A new colleague, Jiang Qiang, took advantage of her drunkenness and intentionally tried to rape her. Chen Shanshan struggled free and ran out, calling Tang Ming immediately. Chen Shanshan had a fragile look on her face. When Tang Ming was about to leave, Chen Shanshan hugged him tightly from behind.

She pleaded with him to stay, repeatedly saying she was scared. Tang Ming did not push Chen Shanshan's hand away. Zheng Chu finally had a weekend to relax, but Tang Guoguo pestered him to accompany her to an amusement park. Coincidentally, Chen Shanshan had asked Tang Ming to buy her seafood from the seafood market near the amusement park. When Tang Ming passed by the amusement park, he saw his sister pestering Zheng Chu there.

He went up to greet them. Tang Ming didn't hide anything, telling Su Mang and Zheng Chu that Chen Shanshan was sick and wanted seafood, so he came to buy it for her. As soon as Tang Guoguo heard Chen Shanshan's name, she became furious and was about to argue with Tang Ming. Su Chang and Su Mang also happened to pass by. As a result, the five of them became embroiled in a commotion, unable to reason things out. Eventually, the five of them ended up sitting in the same Ferris wheel, a truly comical scene.

Su Mang and Zheng Chu went home from the amusement park. Su Mang's face was pale and her heart was pounding intensely. Zheng Chu, concerned for Su Mang, only then realized she had acrophobia. He couldn't help but blame Su Mang for going on the Ferris wheel despite knowing her fear of heights. Zheng Chu kept murmuring, "You must constantly remind yourself that you are pregnant now and must be responsible for the baby."

Su Mang asked Zheng Chu why he was still so good to her, given her cold attitude towards him these past two days. Zheng Chu was stunned for a moment, then resumed his usual playful smile and said that everyone in the building knew he was a good-natured pushover, so taking care of her was nothing out of the ordinary. The next day, in the MG company's tourism department, everyone gathered around Jiajia's computer.

The tour route "Ancient Town Phantom - Spirit of Protection" on the website had unexpectedly high click-through rates. Everyone, including Zheng Chu, hadn't expected this route to be so popular. Everyone was cheering for the success of this plan. Su Mang came in, smiling, and said, "Tonight we'll have a celebration party, I'll treat everyone to dinner." The whole room fell silent, then the office area erupted in another round of cheers.

Xiao Gu came over and teased Zheng Chu, saying, "Brother Chu, I didn't see wrong, did I? The Black Spider actually smiled." Zheng Chu smiled faintly, gazing blankly in the direction of Su Mang's office. In Tang Ming's office, Chen Shanshan came to see Tang Ming. Tang Ming said apologetically, "Shanshan, I'm sorry, last night. . ." Chen Shanshan smiled and said, "It's okay, you must have been delayed by something important, I understand.

Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future, I'll cook for you next time." Shanshan turned to leave, her face showing a resentful expression completely different from her earlier pleasant demeanor. She clenched her fists and thought to herself, "Tang Ming, yesterday was the first and last time. I will definitely not let you ignore me again." At the tourism department's celebration party, Jiajia and others saw Su Mang not drinking, feeling it wasn't fun enough.

They tried hard to persuade Su Mang to drink. Su Mang, unable to refuse, intended to take a small sip, but Zheng Chu snatched the drink away. He used the excuse that "who would pay the bill if Su Mang got drunk" to deflect the drink for her. Su Mang, displeased, secretly kicked Zheng Chu. As for Zheng Chu, he held the wine in his mouth and made a 'shushing' sound, secretly amusing Su Mang.

Tang Guoguo, to teach Zheng Chu a lesson for not accepting her confession and pushing her towards Su Chang, secretly posted a Weibo message when Tony wasn't paying attention. By the time Tony discovered it, the Weibo post was already online. Tony read the content and almost fainted. The Weibo post read: "The sky is so blue, I want to sail far away with you, my Mr. Z."

Tony quickly initiated crisis public relations, asking Guoguo to post another Weibo message saying her phone was lost or her account was hacked. In short, he wanted to control the situation as quickly as possible. However, Guoguo was indifferent. When Tang Guoguo makes up her mind, when can it be easily changed? The day after the celebration party, Zheng Chu was still sound asleep in bed. Suddenly, a phone rang, interrupting Zheng Chu's good dream.

Zheng Chu groggily answered the phone. Upon hearing the content of the call, Zheng Chu almost jumped out of bed and quickly put on his clothes. In Fei Yi's office, Zheng Chu was looking at a document with a frown. Fei Yi said, "This past week, we've received complaints that our tour guides have been privately taking guests shopping, with bad attitudes and repeatedly refusing to change. Who is responsible for arranging your tourism department's tour guides?

Call him over, I need a reasonable explanation." Zheng Chu was also surprised and said, "Our company's tour guides wouldn't make such a basic mistake." Although Zheng Chu explained, it was still unconvincing. Fei Yi then said, "Now that you mention it, I almost forgot. You, as the post-production supervisor, probably can't bear this responsibility. I'd better go find General Manager Su." Zheng Chu had no choice but to follow Fei Yi to Su Mang's office.

Su Mang had to use a lot of persuasion to convince Fei Yi to give the tourism department a bit more time, and she believed that Zheng Chu could resolve the matter well. As Zheng Chu passed by the lounge area, he unintentionally overheard Jiajia on the phone. On the call, Jiajia deliberately lowered her voice and urgently said, "Tell Jiamin, tell her not to privately take tourists shopping anymore.

I arranged for her to be a tour guide, not to take petty advantages." Zheng Chu was surprised. Jiajia was startled when she saw Zheng Chu, but Zheng Chu pretended not to hear and left. Zheng Chu went to Fei Yi's office again. He told Fei Yi that he was the post-production supervisor for this project and should bear all the responsibility.

Fei Yi sized up Zheng Chu and said, "Being responsible is a good thing, but acting on a momentary impulse, you could very likely be fired by the company." Zheng Chu thought for a moment and said, "I'll say it again, I am the post-production supervisor for the project, and I will find a way to solve it." Fei Yi gave Zheng Chu three days, and Zheng Chu reluctantly agreed.

In the office, everyone was discussing the tour guides privately taking guests shopping. Jiajia became frantic when she heard about it. Xiao Gu knew that Jiajia was the tour guide supervisor this time. When Jiajia heard that Zheng Chu had taken on the entire responsibility alone, she became even more restless. Zheng Chu was called into Su Mang's office.

Su Mang directly asked Zheng Chu, "When we went to Shaoxing, you were with me the whole time, and I clearly entrusted the tour guide matter to Jiajia. One person does the work, one person takes the blame. If supervisors have to take responsibility for every mistake made by their subordinates, then what will serve as a warning to the employees below?" Zheng Chu couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

He only said that he knew what was going on but couldn't say it because it was Jiajia's privacy. Su Mang, puzzled, continued to press him, but Zheng Chu hesitated for a moment and still refused to speak. He only said, "I will find a way to solve it. If I can't, at worst, I'll go home and be your full-time nanny." Su Mang glared at him angrily, truly at a loss for words.

At this moment, Fei Yi walked in. Employees outside were all discussing animatedly. Jiajia restlessly watched the activity in Su Mang's office, then suddenly stood up. Xiao Gu pressed her down and whispered, "Won't admitting your mistake now just make things worse? General Manager Su won't turn her elbow outwards (meaning, she won't side with outsiders against her own people). Now you see clearly, don't you? Brother Chu isn't someone who only talks the talk."

Seeing that Zheng Chu and Su Mang couldn't come up with any good solution immediately, Fei Yi offered a method he had thought of. He said to Su Mang, "Let Zheng Chu bear all the responsibility alone, and then the company will dismiss him. Externally, we'll say that he privately colluded with tour guides to take guests on tours and has been dismissed. This way, those who complained won't blame the company."

Upon hearing Fei Yi's suggestion, Zheng Chu was stunned and took a moment to recover. Su Mang listened, then scoffed disdainfully, "Is this the 'good idea' you came up with? Do you know that if we do this, Zheng Chu will be ostracized by the entire tourism industry? Since you say the problem is in our tourism department, then I, as the director, should be the first to take responsibility.

I went on the inspection with them; I also have a responsibility for not discovering the problem." Fei Yi was a bit angry. Before he could speak, Su Mang interrupted and continued, "General Manager Fei should understand the principle of unity. I will worry about my own subordinates. General Manager Fei, please leave. I will not fire Zheng Chu, nor will I fire anyone from the tourism department. Don't we still have time?

I believe my employees are capable of solving the problem." Zheng Chu looked at Su Mang, slightly surprised, then filled with gratitude. He turned to Fei Yi and said, "That's right, General Manager Fei, please leave. I'll return your words to you: each department should perform its own duties. Please, General Manager Fei, do not interfere with our tourism department's affairs." General Manager Fei left with a wry smile.

Su Mang and Zheng Chu discussed that they would call these tourists one by one that night. Su Mang would pay for the tourists' losses out of her own pocket. Su Mang and Zheng Chu were discussing follow-up work in the office when Jiajia and Xiao Gu knocked and entered. Jiajia's eyes were red and swollen, and she was in poor spirits.

She handed in her resignation letter and apologized to Su Mang for causing such big trouble for the company due to her abuse of power. She was very grateful that Zheng Chu had taken the blame for her, but she didn't want to implicate others anymore. Xiao Gu next to her couldn't help but advise Su Mang not to accept Jiajia's resignation.

It turned out that if Jiajia hadn't personally gone door-to-door to apologize, Zheng Chu and Su Mang calling alone wouldn't have solved the problem so quickly. Zheng Chu and Su Mang were both stunned. Su Mang looked deeply at Jiajia and said, "I said I wouldn't fire any employee from the tourism department. Moreover, you are a good employee who knows her mistakes and can correct them.

From now on, I don't want to see your resignation letter unless you feel you are not capable enough and cannot handle your current work, understood?" Jiajia was moved to tears. To celebrate the successful resolution of this matter, the four of them were treated to a meal by Jiajia. It was already late after dinner. Xiao Gu was responsible for taking Jiajia home.

Su Mang's car was in for maintenance, so she was waiting at the intersection for a taxi. However, she waited for a long time but couldn't get one. Zheng Chu proudly rode his bicycle, cycling past in front of Su Mang. With no other choice, Su Mang had to get on Zheng Chu's bicycle. Under the lamplight, their silhouettes were stretched very long. This night was very cold, yet very warm.

The next day, Zheng Chu noticed Su Mang coughing incessantly; she looked sickly. That night, Su Mang lay in bed, extremely thirsty, pale, and feeling cold. Zheng Chu came to knock on her door, wanting to borrow some vinegar. Su Mang opened the door but didn't reply. Zheng Chu saw that Su Mang's face looked wrong, reached out, and touched her forehead. He exclaimed, "Why are you so hot? Su Mang, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore!"

Zheng Chu wanted to take Su Mang to the hospital, but Su Mang stubbornly refused to go, vaguely saying she wouldn't go to the hospital or take medicine, as injections and medication would be bad for the baby. Zheng Chu couldn't persuade her, so he called Tang Ming for help. Tang Ming told him methods for physical cooling. Zheng Chu took Su Mang's temperature, applied a towel, and then wiped Su Mang's palms with alcohol to cool her down.

Zheng Chu was afraid Su Mang had an empty stomach, so he cooked a bowl of white rice porridge for her. Su Mang was drowsy and wouldn't eat. Zheng Chu had no choice but to prop Su Mang up and hold her in his arms, trying to spoon the porridge into her mouth. Su Mang fell asleep after only two bites. Zheng Chu felt Su Mang, and it seemed her fever had broken, but he couldn't pull his hand away.

So, he just held Su Mang like that, leaning against the headboard, and slept through the night. Tang Guoguo was surrounded by fans at the airport, so densely that not even a drop of water could get through. Just as she looked up, she saw Chen Shanshan, who had also just gotten off the plane. Guoguo deliberately walked towards Shanshan. The clamoring fan circle pushed Shanshan to the ground. Guoguo helped Shanshan up in front of everyone.

Shanshan, in a low voice, triumphantly told Guoguo that she had a date with Tang Ming tomorrow, and Tang Ming said he definitely wouldn't stand her up this time. Guoguo retorted to Shanshan, "Alright, we'll see then if you're more important or if I, your younger sister, am more important." Guoguo helped Shanshan up and said, "My dear fan, please be careful when picking up celebrities at the airport."

Guoguo cleverly used Shanshan to establish an image of herself as a star who loves her fans. Shanshan looked at Guoguo's retreating back with a resentful expression. Early the next morning, Zheng Chu got up to make chicken soup for Su Mang; his arm, which had been pressed for a night, was still aching terribly. Su Mang woke up and groggily walked out of her room.

She saw Zheng Chu leaning over in the kitchen, making chicken soup for her, and was momentarily stunned. Zheng Chu busied himself taking care of Su Mang. Su Mang, who had been shouldering everything by herself for a long time, saw Zheng Chu toiling for her and felt a ray of spring sunshine illuminate her heart. Tang Guoguo arranged to go shopping with Yan Xiaoqiu.

Tang Ming called Xiaoqiu, asking if she was free that evening, as he had something to give her. However, Xiaoqiu had to work overtime tonight. Tang Ming said, "Then let's talk about it when you're free." As soon as Xiaoqiu hung up, Guoguo pestered her, wanting her to come home with her today. Guoguo said she had no friends in the entertainment industry and wanted to experience the feeling of having an all-night talk with a best friend.

Xiaoqiu explained that she had to work overtime. Guoguo, without any explanation, pulled Xiaoqiu and left. Su Mang woke up in the morning feeling a sudden pain in her stomach. Frightened, she went to find Zheng Chu, wanting him to take her to the hospital. Zheng Chu was half-asleep but instantly became alert when he heard Su Mang say her stomach hurt. Zheng Chu floored the accelerator and drove Su Mang to the hospital.

Along the way, Zheng Chu frowned and lectured Su Mang, asking if she had eaten something she shouldn't have with her "cheap mouth." Although it was a scolding, Su Mang, for some reason, wasn't angry; instead, she felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. After Su Mang's examination, the doctor said that the minor pain was normal in early pregnancy and would subside once she adapted.

The doctor mistook Zheng Chu for Su Mang's husband. Just as Zheng Chu was about to explain, Su Mang stopped him. Leaving the hospital, Zheng Chu asked Su Mang why she didn't let him explain. Su Mang feigned composure and said they didn't know the doctor, so why bother with an unnecessary explanation? The two left the hospital, chatting and laughing.

Tang Guoguo forcibly dragged Yan Xiaoqiu to the Tang family home. Yan Xiaoqiu saw it was Tang Guoguo's parents' house and didn't want to go in, but she couldn't resist Tang Guoguo's invitation, so she had to go with the flow and followed Tang Guoguo inside.

Tang Guoguo introduced Yan Xiaoqiu to Tang Ming's mother, and also re-gifted the necklace Yan Xiaoqiu had originally given her, explaining that Yan Xiaoqiu was a designer and had personally designed this necklace for Tang Ming's mother. Tang Ming's mother saw the necklace, found it unique and exquisite, and loved it dearly. Yan Xiaoqiu didn't understand why Tang Guoguo claimed the gift she gave her was for Tang Ming's mother.

Tang Guoguo winked at Yan Xiaoqiu, telling her not to speak. To give Tang Ming's mother a better impression of Yan Xiaoqiu, Tang Guoguo also told her that the pair of bracelets Tang Ming had given her earlier were Yan Xiaoqiu's work, and Yan Xiaoqiu had recommended Tang Ming buy them. After Tang Guoguo's words, Tang Ming's mother liked Yan Xiaoqiu even more.

Tang Guoguo quietly told Tang Ming's mother that Tang Ming's father didn't like Chen Shanshan anyway, and Yan Xiaoqiu had both looks and talent, and crucially, she liked Tang Ming. However, Tang Ming's mother felt it was difficult, as it was her first time meeting Yan Xiaoqiu, and whether she could be her daughter-in-law, she still needed to observe and consider.

Tang Ming's mother pulled Yan Xiaoqiu to play mahjong together, but Yan Xiaoqiu knew nothing about mahjong and couldn't learn it no matter how hard she tried. Tang Ming's mother couldn't help but complain that Yan Xiaoqiu was not smart in this aspect. Tang Guoguo defended Yan Xiaoqiu, saying that mahjong wasn't Yan Xiaoqiu's strong suit, so how could she say someone wasn't smart? To ease the atmosphere, Yan Xiaoqiu proactively offered to help in the kitchen.

Tang Ming's mother came to the kitchen and saw Yan Xiaoqiu virtuously preparing meals. In their conversation, she found that Yan Xiaoqiu was very considerate of Tang Ming, and her speech was appropriate and her demeanor graceful, all of which made Tang Ming's mother very satisfied with Yan Xiaoqiu. That evening, Tang Ming came home from work and found Yan Xiaoqiu surprisingly at his house.

He remembered Yan Xiaoqiu had clearly said on the phone earlier that she would be working overtime tonight, yet she appeared here at this time. This made Tang Ming frown. Tang Ming's mother intentionally tried to set up Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming, saying that Yan Xiaoqiu had such good cooking skills and was very suitable for Tang Ming.

Tang Ming was disgusted and displeased, saying there were so many women in the world who could cook, did that mean any one of them had to become his daughter-in-law? Yan Xiaoqiu didn't expect Tang Ming to be so angry upon seeing her; she stood frozen, at a loss. Tang Ming ignored Yan Xiaoqiu and angrily left the house. Yan Xiaoqiu called Tang Ming, but he kept not answering.

Worried that something had happened to Tang Ming, Yan Xiaoqiu had no choice but to go to the hospital to find him. To her surprise, Tang Ming coldly told Yan Xiaoqiu that if he had done anything recently to make her misunderstand, then he apologized. He only considered her a friend, and if she intended to achieve certain goals through his parents, then their friendship was over. Yan Xiaoqiu never expected Tang Ming to think of her this way.

She immediately felt deeply wronged. Yan Xiaoqiu returned her father's medical expenses to Tang Ming, tried hard to control herself from crying, and turned to leave. " "" The CEO of MG Company informed Su Mang and Fei Yi that CT Company had invited a planner named Dawson, dubbed "the planner from hell," to personally oversee the development of the Tibet and Nepal routes.

The CEO specifically emphasized that there should be an airport pick-up spectacle tonight, but it shouldn't be too grand. Also, everyone must not wear red or red jewelry, because this Dawson had severe mysophobia. Su Mang told Zheng Chu this news and wanted him to go with her to pick up Dawson. Zheng Chu said with a troubled expression that he had something to do that evening and couldn't go.

He also added that Dawson wasn't the only "one from hell"; he had one at home. Su Mang had no choice but to give up. Su Mang and Fei Yi took Xiao Gu and Jia Jia to the airport to pick up Dawson. Unexpectedly, Dawson's plane arrived early. Everyone rushed inside. Su Mang accidentally bumped into a lady, and gift boxes from both sides scattered on the ground.

Su Mang told the lady they were in a hurry and would compensate if anything was damaged. However, the lady believed Su Mang had bumped into her but didn't apologize immediately, and she looked very displeased. Both parties parted ways unhappily. Su Mang and Fei Yi finally picked up Dawson. To their surprise, Dawson saw the gift box in Xiao Gu's hand and immediately became furious.

Su Mang and Fei Yi turned around and then realized that when they had bumped into the lady earlier, they had accidentally mixed her red gift box with the gift box for Dawson. The CEO had repeatedly warned them that Dawson absolutely couldn't see anything red. As a result, the first impression completely collapsed. Su Mang and Fei Yi were both panic-stricken.

Fei Yi calmed Su Mang, saying that after all, they were the hosts and Dawson was the guest, so there should be a chance to salvage the situation. With that, everyone quickly chased Dawson to the hotel. At the same time, Zheng Chu also came to the airport to pick someone up. The person Zheng Chu was picking up was none other than the lady Su Mang had bumped into earlier.

This lady was Zheng Meiling, Zheng Chu's paternal aunt, and also the president of China Fashion Emmy Group. Zheng Meiling asked Zheng Chu to drive her back to the hotel. Zheng Chu was surprised, "Doesn't aunt live at home?" Zheng Meiling teased Zheng Chu, saying that if she lived at home, it would be inconvenient for a grown boy like him if he ever brought a girl back.

After Dawson returned to the hotel, he refused to see Fei Yi and Su Mang. Not only did he refuse to listen to Su Mang and their explanations, but he also intentionally humiliated Su Mang and the others. Everyone reluctantly had to go back and figure out how to handle tomorrow's meeting. Xiao Gu didn't know what to do with the red gift box. Su Mang took it, thinking she had to find its owner eventually.

Coincidentally, Zheng Meiling also stayed at this hotel. When Su Mang went to the restroom, she ran right into Zheng Meiling. The two women inevitably engaged in a war of words. Dawson expressed dissatisfaction with the proposal presented by Su Mang and her team. Not only that, but he also canceled all his subsequent itinerary. Everyone was at a loss, truly not knowing how to get Dawson to open up and provide feedback on the proposal.

Otherwise, no matter what they did, it would all be for naught. Zheng Chu suggested that he had an idea, but it was a bit risky and could easily lead to big trouble if not handled well. However, there was no better solution at hand, so they decided to try anything, even a long shot. As Emmy's spokesperson, Tang Guoguo met Zheng Meiling backstage at Fashion Week. The two immediately clicked.

Zheng Meiling liked Tang Guoguo very much; she felt Tang Guoguo resembled herself when she was young. Tang Guoguo also felt that although Zheng Meiling was known as the "fashion devil," she gave her a very kind and approachable feeling, with no sense of distance at all. The two established a very friendly relationship. Zheng Chu went to find Dawson.

Dawson arrogantly stated that he would no longer look at their terrible proposal, hoping they could part ways amicably and send him back properly. Before Dawson could finish speaking, Zheng Chu poured a basin of dirty water, prepared beforehand, all over him. Dawson was completely stunned. Zheng Chu told Dawson that their company invited him not to revive the project, but to add icing on the cake.

As the chief executive officer of this project, Dawson had done nothing, just like this basin of dirty water splashed onto the project, causing it to stagnate. Incidentally, Zheng Chu stuffed the proposal into Dawson's hand, telling him that if he wanted to read it, he could, but if not, his name was Zheng Chu, a travel experience designer for this company, and he welcomed Dawson to come find trouble with him anytime.

After speaking, Zheng Chu left without looking back. Zheng Chu anxiously waited for Dawson's response in the office. Zheng Meiling came to see Zheng Chu, bringing dinner. Everyone recognized Zheng Meiling as the chairperson of the Emmy Group. They were surprised that such a big shot was Zheng Chu's aunt. Su Mang and Zheng Meiling's subsequent meeting made them both feel, coincidentally, that it was a small world for rivals. Zheng Chu's strategy of provocation indeed worked on Dawson.

Dawson changed his previous impression of MG Company and decided to cooperate with them. Zheng Chu and Su Mang went home after work, both relieved about the Dawson situation. Zheng Chu gave Su Mang the gift box his aunt had originally given to him for his girlfriend, thinking it was something for a girl and useless to him since he didn't have a girlfriend now.

Zheng Chu entered his house, turned around, and was startled to find Zheng Meiling sitting in the living room. Zheng Meiling said she still preferred living at home. Su Mang returned home and found she was out of fish food, so she called Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu could only secretly answer Su Mang's call behind his aunt's back and bought fish food for Su Mang under the pretense of going out to buy groceries.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Meiling still discovered that the two were neighbors. As soon as the two women met, a war of words was inevitable. Zheng Chu, caught between these two women, truly had a headache.

Su Mang asked Su Chang for a suckermouth catfish to clean the fish tank. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu to help her retrieve it from Su Chang's shop. It so happened that Guoguo was also in Su Chang's magic hall, and she had Xiaoqiu with her. Guoguo happily held Zheng Chu's arm and introduced him to Xiaoqiu, saying he was her boyfriend. Both Zheng Chu and Xiaoqiu were stunned. Guoguo didn't expect that these two already knew each other.

Guoguo told Zheng Chu that Xiaoqiu was the future sister-in-law she had chosen. Since they knew each other, Zheng Chu should be even more duty-bound to set up Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming in the future. Zheng Chu's expression was solemn; he had no choice but to pull Guoguo aside, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to her that Xiaoqiu was Shanshan's biological older sister. Guoguo was extremely surprised.

Zheng Chu explained that Shanshan was his ex-girlfriend, which was why he knew about their relationship. However, Xiaoqiu was a very good person, Zheng Chu admonished Guoguo not to take out her anger on Xiaoqiu because of Shanshan. The next day, Zheng Chu went to Su Mang's home to change the water in her fish tank. But to his surprise, no one answered the door no matter how he knocked.

Zheng Chu panicked for a moment, worried that something might have happened to Su Mang at home. So Zheng Chu went downstairs; fortunately, their houses weren't very tall. Zheng Chu struggled to get in through the window. He found Su Mang sitting blankly by the fish tank, her face looking like she had just cried. Zheng Chu's heart immediately rose to his throat. It turned out that upon asking, he learned that the two kissing gourami had died.

Su Mang was grieving for those two fish. Only then did Zheng Chu relax; he quickly coaxed Su Mang to rest in a gentle tone, as if comforting a child, and stayed behind to handle the fish matters for her. Zheng Chu couldn't understand why Su Mang, who used to be a decisive and straightforward career woman with an unambiguous and neat personality, but now she had become melancholic, even crying for half the night over a fish.

He was very worried about Su Mang, so he specifically consulted a doctor. The doctor told Zheng Chu that this was merely a problem of mental tension in the early stages of pregnancy. The doctor suggested frequently engaging pregnant women in activities that cultivate sentiment and bring joy to the mind and body, as this could alleviate their tension.

To help Su Mang relieve this tense pregnancy mood, the next day, Zheng Chu specifically took Su Mang to a pottery shop to make ceramics. Su Mang gradually began to enjoy the pottery-making process, moving from initial resistance. Su Mang would playfully bother Zheng Chu from time to time; the two chatted and laughed, having a lively time.

From time to time, they would gaze at each other's profiles; bathed in the glow of the afterglow, the scene of them together was so beautiful and warm. Zheng Meiling decided to move back home to live, and incidentally, to supervise Zheng Chu to prevent him from being harassed by his single female boss. That day, Guoguo came to see Zheng Chu and happened to run into Zheng Meiling at home.

Only then did Guoguo realize that the CEO of Aimei Group was Zheng Chu's aunt. Zheng Meiling mistook Guoguo for Zheng Chu's official girlfriend. Guoguo was ecstatic, repeatedly saying that Auntie was truly her benefactor, and upon her return, she had achieved a double harvest in both career and love.

Zheng Chu frowned, a bitter expression on his face, and quickly explained to his aunt that there was nothing between him and Guoguo, and they could absolutely not be a couple. Su Mang woke up in the middle of the night, unbearable with hunger, and had no choice but to knock on Zheng Chu's door. Unexpectedly, she woke Zheng Meiling. Zheng Chu opened the door and saw Su Mang standing at his doorstep in her pajamas.

This scene made Zheng Meiling misunderstand Su Mang, thinking she had ulterior motives. She sarcastically accused Su Mang, saying, "At work, you're superior and subordinate, and being together then is fine, but coming out like this in the middle of the night is a bit unacceptable, isn't it?" Su Mang retorted to Zheng Meiling, "I couldn't sleep at home because I was hungry and came to ask your nephew for some food.

Do I have to put on makeup and wear nice clothes to do that?" The two exchanged words, almost starting a quarrel. Zheng Chu was caught in the middle, awkwardly trying to mediate. Zheng Meiling was unrelenting in every way, and Su Mang didn't want to be scorned any longer, so she turned and went back. A little while later, in Su Mang's living room, Su Mang was wolfing down the noodles Zheng Chu had made for her.

While eating, Su Mang said to Zheng Chu, who was beside her, that he had a conscience. Su Mang suddenly thought, "That aunt won't wake up and rush over, will she?" Zheng Chu comforted Su Mang, saying that his aunt valued her noon nap more than anything else, so she wouldn't. Su Mang then relaxed, but on second thought, it still didn't seem right. " The two of them are innocent, but now they are acting so secretively.

Why should I be afraid of that woman?" Zheng Chu quickly stopped Su Mang, saying that he had been slaving away for her for so long, so for his sake, she shouldn't argue with his aunt. Only then did Su Mang give up. Tang Ming invited Zheng Chu to the boxing gym to box. Tang Ming could see that Zheng Chu had been very out of sorts these past two days.

Zheng Chu sighed, saying that his mind was in a mess due to the constant bickering between Su Mang and his aunt. Tang Ming, as an outsider, told Zheng Chu that if he had nothing to hide, wouldn't keeping a distance from Su Mang solve the problem? Zheng Chu listened to this without committing. Zheng Chu hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Tang Ming that Xiaoqiu and Shanshan were biological sisters.

Tang Ming was completely stunned after hearing this. Shanshan flew back to Shanghai and called Tang Ming to ask him out for dinner. Tang Ming originally wanted to decline by saying he had a surgery, but he couldn't resist Shanshan's pleading. Tang Ming promised he would go after his surgery. Shanshan was at a party with colleagues, and everyone was clamoring to see Shanshan's new boyfriend. Just as they were talking, Tang Ming walked in.

Shanshan, with a triumphant smile, stepped forward and linked her arm through Tang Ming's. The male colleague who had previously harbored improper thoughts about Shanshan sarcastically said, "Who knows if it's real or fake?" To save face in front of her colleagues, Shanshan proactively kissed Tang Ming. Tang Ming knew that Shanshan did it to get rid of that colleague's harassment.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Shanshan's actions in his heart, he did not expose Shanshan's lie in front of everyone. After the party, Tang Ming intentionally asked Shanshan about her family situation. It turned out that for so many years, while Shanshan knew a lot about Tang Ming's family background, including his relatives, Tang Ming realized he knew very little about Shanshan's family. He only knew that her mother had passed away.

Shanshan didn't expect Tang Ming to ask her this question, which also touched upon her pain. Shanshan told Tang Ming that she indeed had an older sister and a father, but her father was addicted to gambling, so she deeply hated him. As for her older sister, they hadn't been in touch for many years. Tang Ming thought of Xiaoqiu, and his heart felt heavy. Shanshan saw the snapdragon brooch on Tang Ming's chest.

Shanshan knew its flower language represented subtle love, and she couldn't help but resent what other women Tang Ming had around him that she didn't know about. Tang Ming felt very vexed after talking with Shanshan. He didn't know how to handle his relationship with the two sisters. That evening, Tang Ming invited Zheng Chu to drink together.

Zheng Chu told Tang Ming that he couldn't rely on listening or observing; what he could do in this matter was to see his own heart clearly. Unexpectedly, Tang Ming was fine after the drink, but Zheng Chu got completely drunk. Tang Ming helped Zheng Chu back home. Zheng Chu mumbled drunkenly that he couldn't go home because his aunt was there. Tang Ming didn't know what to do. Zheng Chu himself stumbled and walked to Su Mang's doorstep.

As soon as Su Mang opened the door, Tang Ming practically threw Zheng Chu into her arms, left a phrase "I'm leaving him to you," and quickly slipped away. Zheng Chu was dead drunk and fell asleep on the spot. Su Mang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't send the drunk Zheng Chu back in the middle of the night, as his aunt seeing him would only cause a greater misunderstanding about her.

Helpless, Su Mang had to help Zheng Chu onto the sofa. Zheng Chu snored terribly loudly, making it impossible for Su Mang to fall asleep. Su Mang secretly drew a funny face on Zheng Chu, punishing him for making her unable to sleep. Zheng Chu was woken up in the morning by his aunt's incessant phone call. After realizing he was actually at Su Mang's house and understanding the situation, Zheng Chu quickly tiptoed out of Su Mang's house.

Just as he stepped out, he ran into Guoguo. Guoguo saw Zheng Chu coming out of Su Mang's house with a painted face and insisted on confronting Su Mang. Zheng Chu desperately stopped her and took Guoguo to explain to his aunt that he had been drinking with Guoguo's brother last night and it was too late, so he slept there. His aunt asked Zheng Chu how he would explain what was on his face.

Zheng Chu was startled when he looked in the mirror; he calmed himself down and winked at Guoguo. Guoguo helped him out, explaining that they played a game last night, Zheng Chu lost, and that's why he had a big painted face this time. His aunt reluctantly believed it.

Zheng Meiling took Zheng Chu to a party on a cruise ship. Coincidentally, Su Mang also arrived on the cruise ship with Su Chang. When Su Mang went to the restroom, she accidentally overheard Zheng Meiling discussing something with Tang Guoguo. It turned out that Zheng Meiling was determined to make Tang Guoguo her nephew's wife. To facilitate their union, Zheng Meiling told Tang Guoguo that she had put a little something in Zheng Chu's drink.

This way, after Zheng Chu finished his drink, she would have Tang Guoguo take him back to his room, and then the two of them would make it a done deal. Tang Guoguo listened to Zheng Meiling's suggestion and felt it was improper. She didn't want to get Zheng Chu this way, but out of consideration for her aunt's feelings, Tang Guoguo didn't say much. Su Mang was startled to hear this.

She thought, "Now Zheng Chu will owe me a big favor again." Zheng Meiling and Tang Guoguo took their seats. Su Mang and Su Chang quietly sat behind a few people. From the corner of his eye, Zheng Chu seemed to catch sight of Su Mang. Su Chang heard Tang Guoguo's voice and was overjoyed. He pulled Su Mang, Zheng Chu, and others to sit at the same table.

When Zheng Chu saw Su Mang, a spontaneous smile appeared on his face. Su Chang playfully messed up Zheng Meiling's matchmaking efforts between Tang Guoguo and Zheng Chu. As for Su Mang, she also quickly spilled Zheng Chu's drink on him. This made Zheng Meiling dislike Su Mang even more, and she felt even more hostile towards this strong-willed woman. Zheng Chu had no choice but to go back to his room to change clothes.

Su Mang followed him, offering a slight apology. Zheng Meiling and Tang Guoguo left, leaving Su Chang alone. Su Chang, feeling annoyed by Tang Guoguo's disregard for him, picked up the half glass of wine Zheng Chu hadn't finished earlier and gulped it down. As Zheng Chu was changing clothes in his room, he couldn't help but complain to Su Mang about her insisting on spilling the drink on him.

As for Su Mang, she smugly said, "Then you don't know what your aunt put in that drink." The two of them chatted and laughed. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang why she hadn't sent him on business trips recently, and instead sent Fang Yuan every time. A trace of panic flashed in Su Mang's eyes, but she immediately regained her composure and said in a "dominant woman" tone, "I'm doing this for your own good.

Not only are business trips tiring and demanding, they're also not good for finding a girlfriend." Zheng Chu jokingly told Su Mang with a cheeky smile that he was afraid his superior would trip him up. The two of them continued to bicker playfully. Su Mang knew in her heart that not sending Zheng Chu on business trips was because she didn't want him to be away for too long.

Perhaps, while she was getting used to Zheng Chu's care, she had also gotten used to having Zheng Chu by her side. After Su Chang drank the wine Zheng Meiling had originally prepared for Zheng Chu, he felt incredibly hot and restless. He quickly called Su Mang to ask if he had a fever. Su Mang clearly knew what was going on, but it was difficult for her to say it.

She could only awkwardly tell Su Chang to quickly take a cold shower, the colder the better. Su Mang suffered from insomnia that night, tossing and turning. So she sent Zheng Chu a WeChat message, inviting him to watch the sunrise together. The two of them stood on the deck, watching the sun joyfully emerge little by little from the sea horizon. However, Zheng Chu kept looking at his phone. Su Mang was displeased.

Zheng Chu explained that he was searching online. It turned out that early pregnancy insomnia is caused by nervousness, and they need to eat more high-protein foods. Su Mang looked at such an attentive and considerate Zheng Chu, and the warmth in her heart spread freely, just like the morning light on the sea, spreading freely in the depths of her heart. Tang Ming, with a face full of worry, absent-mindedly came to find Zheng Chu for a drink.

Tang Ming dejectedly told Zheng Chu that he had thought Yan Xiaoqiu was approaching him with ulterior motives. She used Tang Guoguo to get close to his parents, which disgusted him. But after Yan Xiaoqiu returned her father's surgery fees to him, she never contacted him again. Zheng Chu heard Tang Ming's words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zheng Chu explained on behalf of Yan Xiaoqiu, "Tang Guoguo is Tang Ming's biological sister.

Don't you understand her personality? Tang Guoguo has always disliked Chen Shanshan. Now that Tang Ming has another good woman by his side, of course Tang Guoguo would try hard to push this person towards Tang Ming's parents!" Tang Ming listened thoughtfully. The next day, Father Yan came to the hospital for his follow-up check-up. Tang Ming chatted with Father Yan. He intentionally wanted to learn more about the matters between the two sisters, Yan Xiaoqiu and Chen Shanshan.

Father Yan recalled past events, full of regret. Back then, Father Yan was addicted to gambling and lost all their family fortune. Yan Xiaoqiu's mother then divorced Father Yan, taking their younger daughter with her. Father Yan tried hard to push Yan Xiaoqiu to her biological mother, but Yan Xiaoqiu refused to leave no matter what he said. She kept saying that she believed her dad wasn't that kind of person.

It was precisely because of Yan Xiaoqiu's expectations that Father Yan finally made up his mind to quit gambling. From the description of Yan Xiaoqiu given by Zheng Chu and Father Yan, he knew that he had indeed misunderstood Yan Xiaoqiu, and had also hurt her. Father Yan could see that there was a misunderstanding between Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu. Tang Ming insisted on taking Father Yan home.

Father Yan felt this was an opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between the two young people. But unexpectedly, when Yan Xiaoqiu opened the door and saw Tang Ming, her eyes showed only aloofness. She simply thanked Dr. Tang for taking Father Yan home, and then closed the door. Tang Ming felt a wave of disappointment. Using the excuse that she had their mother's relics at home, Yan Xiaoqiu invited Chen Shanshan to her house.

Yan Xiaoqiu had originally thought that after so many years, they were biological sisters after all, and hoped they could resolve their grudges face-to-face. But Chen Shanshan arrogantly stated that she would not forgive her father, nor would she acknowledge Yan Xiaoqiu as her older sister. She said they had no connection to her, she was living very well now, and didn't need their familial affection. Yan Xiaoqiu looked at Chen Shanshan in such a state, and felt extremely sad.

Tang Guoguo participated in a program rehearsal. But for some reason, her voice suddenly gave out. This made Tony very anxious. Tang Guoguo dismissed it, she felt it was just because of something she ate earlier. But those newcomers who were jealous of Tang Guoguo didn't think so. Especially Ye Lisha. Taking advantage of Tang Guoguo's voice failing her, making her unable to perform, she quickly went on stage and replaced Tang Guoguo. How could Tang Guoguo endure such humiliation?

She immediately flew into a rage. Fortunately, Tony pulled her away. Tang Guoguo could only vent her anger on Tony. Tang Ming returned home. Father Tang called Tang Ming to drink tea together. It was rare for the father and son to chat peacefully about daily life like this. Father Tang instructed Tang Ming that if he wasn't busy with hospital matters, he should participate in more social activities. This way he could find a girlfriend sooner.

Mother Tang, who was standing nearby, said, "That girl Tang Guoguo brought back last time was very good!" Father Tang asked, "Which girl?" Mother Tang explained that Tang Guoguo said she was her best friend, and that's why she brought her home. Tang Ming heard Mother Tang's words and only then realized that it was indeed Tang Guoguo who brought Yan Xiaoqiu home that day.

Recalling how he had misunderstood Yan Xiaoqiu's intentions because of this matter, and had said so many hurtful things to Yan Xiaoqiu, Tang Ming felt extremely regretful. Su Mang enrolled in a prenatal yoga class. On the day of the first class, when Su Mang rushed to the yoga class, everyone had already started. Every pregnant woman had brought her husband, making the solitary Su Mang particularly conspicuous.

The teacher kindly reminded Su Mang that she should bring her husband next time, because many prenatal yoga poses could not be completed by one person alone. Su Mang smiled awkwardly. Just then, Zheng Chu also rushed to the yoga class, carrying an insulated box. It turned out that Zheng Chu had cooked a meal for Su Mang. Just as Su Mang was going to the yoga class, Zheng Chu followed Su Mang's car all the way on his bicycle.

Zheng Chu helped Su Mang complete the yoga poses, and jokingly explained with a cheeky smile that Su Mang had been wronged because of his aunt's matter a while ago, and he was here to make it up to her. Although Su Mang didn't let Zheng Chu off easily with her words, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

The nearby pregnant women were all envious of Su Mang for having such a considerate and good husband, who even made her a meal and brought it over. Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu, who was very smug after hearing the praise, and smiled shyly. But none of them noticed that at that moment, someone outside the classroom was secretly taking pictures of them with a phone.

This person was precisely the assistant of He He, the former director of the Tourism Department, who was now Su Mang's assistant, Aila. The next day, Su Mang went to work. She was called over by the general manager for a talk. The general manager straightforwardly asked Su Mang why she had concealed her pregnancy from the company. Su Mang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how the general manager could have known about it.

The general manager admonished Su Mang that although she had lived in the UK for a long time, and was more or less influenced by Western open-minded thinking, this was China after all, and many things were still very conservative. Su Mang explained that this was her private matter, and it would not affect her work. Su Mang angrily went to find Zheng Chu. Only Zheng Chu in the entire company knew about her pregnancy.

Su Mang thought Zheng Chu had leaked the secret, and she was furious at Zheng Chu, giving him a dirty look. No matter how Zheng Chu explained, Su Mang wouldn't listen. This made Zheng Chu feel extremely wronged. In the staff canteen, Aila was triumphantly gossiping with Xiao Gu and others about Su Mang's pregnancy. Zheng Chu came over to eat and heard Aila gossiping, and describing Su Mang in such a degrading way.

He was about to stop them, when Fei Yi got up from not far away and walked to Aila and their table. He severely reprimanded Aila and the others. Zheng Chu saw that the gossiping people had all dispersed. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and saw not far from Aila and their table, Su Mang's slight figure standing there. Su Mang coincidentally turned around, and their gazes unexpectedly met.

Zheng Chu looked at the dejected Su Mang with eyes full of pity. Su Mang quickly turned away, not wanting Zheng Chu to see her vulnerability. Zheng Chu hurriedly returned home after work. He found that Su Mang wasn't home, and she wasn't answering her phone. Zheng Chu ran all over every place Su Mang might be, but couldn't find her. Zheng Chu was worried sick.

He worried if Su Mang had suffered a blow and something bad had happened to her. Zheng Chu remembered Su Mang had taken him to the old house where she and Su Chang grew up, and decided to look there. When Zheng Chu, out of breath, arrived by bicycle at the old house that had already become ruins, he indeed found Su Mang daydreaming there. Finally, Zheng Chu's heart could rest at ease.

Su Mang apologized for having wrongly accused Zheng Chu earlier that day. Zheng Chu carelessly joked that he wouldn't bother arguing with a silly pregnant woman. Zheng Chu comforted Su Mang, telling her not to care what others said. Zheng Chu secretly and tentatively asked Su Mang if she still loved her ex-husband. Su Mang calmly replied that she no longer loved him. " As early as when he gave me the divorce agreement, I stopped loving him."

A wave of secret joy surged in Zheng Chu's heart. At the same time, Su Mang also asked Zheng Chu, "What about his ex-girlfriend? Does he still love her?" Zheng Chu immediately declared, "A good horse doesn't eat old grass," (meaning he doesn't go back to old relationships). The two of them exchanged a knowing smile. Zheng Chu covered Su Mang's eyes and took her to a place.

When Su Mang opened her eyes, she found that all the things from the old house were here, and they were all still the same. Tears filled her eyes for a moment. It turned out that after Zheng Chu had seen Su Mang's old house, he had secretly gone to negotiate with the developer, and transferred all the belongings from the old house here for people to visit and exhibit.

Although this was no longer Su Mang and Su Chang's secret place, it could preserve their most complete memories of the old house. Su Mang was deeply moved. She tightly hugged Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu was overwhelmed for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them started joking and playing around again.

It's just that at this moment, perhaps neither of them had realized yet that the other person, in their heart, had already become an indispensable part of them. The next day, Zheng Chu went to work. He noticed that his colleagues were looking at him strangely. While Zheng Chu was still puzzled, Xiao Gu mysteriously came to find Zheng Chu. He secretly asked him if the child in Su Mang's belly was his. Zheng Chu quickly and sternly denied it.

Xiao Gu showed Zheng Chu the company's intranet. It turned out that someone had posted photos of Zheng Chu accompanying Su Mang to her prenatal yoga class. This had already caused a strong sensation within the company, and Su Mang's reputation was even more damaged. Zheng Chu angrily said that this was cyberbullying. To resolve the matter, Zheng Chu decided to go to the Marketing Department. Su Mang watched as Zheng Chu indignantly went to the Marketing Department.

Coincidentally, Aila came in to deliver documents. Su Mang told Aila that she was going out for a bit. She ordered Aila to sort the documents on her desk. After that, she should clean up the conference room, as she would need it for a meeting soon. Aila looked confused.

Su Mang looked at Aila with cold eyes, and told her that it was her own poor management before, but from now on, she would let her know what a director's assistant should be doing. Zheng Chu was in Fei Yi's office. He requested Fei Yi to transfer him from the Tourism Department to the Marketing Department. Su Mang came in and stopped Zheng Chu's application to transfer departments.

She also calmly told General Manager Fei that Zheng Chu had not made a mistake. If he was transferred departments just like that, people would say that she couldn't retain her staff. Zheng Chu secretly told Su Mang, "Doing this is good for both you and me." But Su Mang refused Zheng Chu, and said that doing so would be playing right into the hands of the rumor-mongers.

She also threatened Zheng Chu to quickly go back with her, otherwise, his next month's salary would be docked. Zheng Chu heard this, and had no choice but to follow Su Mang back to the Tourism Department.

Zheng Chu and Su Mang returned to the tourism department. Zheng Chu unhappily asked Su Mang why she wouldn't let him transfer to the marketing department. Su Mang countered by asking if he really wanted to go. Zheng Chu helplessly said this was the best way to resolve the rumors about them. Su Mang did not answer Zheng Chu's question, but instead asked Zheng Chu why he, who never avoided problems before, was doing so now. Zheng Chu couldn't answer.

Su Mang continued, saying that they were innocent and their relationship hadn't changed, so why did he choose to face things before but now he was avoiding them? Zheng Chu felt that it made sense after listening, but also felt something was off, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Su Mang knew that given the current situation, she had to consider how to handle it.

However, if handled improperly, it might backfire, and now Zheng Chu was also a factor in her considerations. Zheng Chu left work with his colleagues. Su Mang drove up and stopped in front of him, proactively asking Zheng Chu to get in the car to go home together. Zheng Chu looked embarrassed. Su Mang calmly said that they lived together anyway, so there was nothing wrong with going together. Zheng Chu had no choice but to get in the car.

The next day, Zheng Chu and Su Mang entered the office building at the same time. Su Mang deliberately pulled Zheng Chu to take a photo together in front of everyone. Su Mang smiled brightly, while Zheng Chu's smile was stiff. Su Mang posted the group photo in the tourism department's WeChat group.

While everyone was whispering, Su Mang openly walked up to everyone with Zheng Chu and told them that if they wanted to gossip in the future, they should use the high-definition photo she just posted, and not those blurry, dark candid shots from before. Su Mang's "fight fire with fire" approach surprisingly made the rumors dissipate on their own. Fei Yi came to deliver materials to Su Mang.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Tang Guoguo storm into Su Mang's office. Guoguo directly questioned Su Mang, saying she had only been back in the country for a few days and already had a child. Guoguo asked Su Mang if the child was Zheng Chu's. Su Mang replied that it wasn't, but Guoguo had no intention of letting it go, continuing to press Su Mang about whose child it was.

Su Mang's face turned grim as she stood up and discussed with Guoguo whether they could talk about the issue after work. Guoguo persisted, even pulling at Su Mang. Zheng Chu rushed back from outside and entered the office, scolding Guoguo. Su Mang looked very uncomfortable. Zheng Chu eagerly stepped forward to check on Su Mang, but Guoguo excitedly pulled at Zheng Chu. With all the pulling and pushing, Su Mang lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Zheng Chu panicked instantly, and when he turned around, he accidentally hit Guoguo. Guoguo cried and ran out of the office. Fei Yi told Zheng Chu to go check on Tang Guoguo, and to avoid suspicion, he took Su Mang to the hospital himself. Su Mang remained silent throughout the journey. Fei Yi looked at the taxi following closely behind his car and chuckled, saying the taxi behind them was following quite closely.

Su Mang heard him and looked back, realizing that Zheng Chu was sitting in the taxi. Her heart trembled, and she felt an indescribable feeling. Fei Yi dropped Su Mang off at the hospital. Su Mang politely declined Fei Yi's kindness, saying she didn't need him to accompany her. Seeing Zheng Chu approaching, Fei Yi tactfully left. However, Su Mang ignored Zheng Chu's presence, not even looking at him.

Zheng Chu had no choice but to follow closely behind Su Mang, accompanying her through various examination rooms in the obstetrics department. To teach Zheng Chu a lesson, Su Mang deliberately led him into the women's restroom. As a result, Zheng Chu was so preoccupied with watching Su Mang that he didn't even notice he had entered the women's restroom, almost being mistaken for a pervert.

Tang Ming called Yan Xiaoqiu, wanting to visit her under the pretense of prescribing medicine for her father. Xiaoqiu thought for a moment and said she would go pick it up herself. Tang Ming probed, asking Xiaoqiu if she planned to come after eating or before. However, Xiaoqiu saw through Tang Ming's desire to reconcile, and this alone made Xiaoqiu feel very content. She hung up without saying much more.

Tang Ming felt a pang of disappointment, hearing Xiaoqiu still call him "Doctor Tang." Su Mang smiled triumphantly in the restroom, watching Zheng Chu's awkwardness. Su Mang's necklace accidentally broke in the restroom, scattering beads all over the floor. Just as Su Mang was about to bend down to pick them up, Xiaoqiu, who had come to find Tang Ming for medicine, was right beside her.

Xiaoqiu, considerate of pregnant women who shouldn't bend over frequently, personally helped Su Mang pick up the necklace. She also told Su Mang that she was a jewelry designer and could fix the necklace for her. Su Mang felt an instant connection with Xiaoqiu, and the two walked out of the restroom chatting and laughing. They then encountered Zheng Chu waiting outside. All three were surprised to find that they knew each other.

Xiaoqiu told Su Mang about Zheng Chu lending her money for her father's surgery previously. Su Mang finally understood the truth behind her misunderstanding of Zheng Chu advancing his salary, realizing that was how it was. She unconsciously dropped her cold demeanor towards Zheng Chu, and the two reconciled. Xiaoqiu went to Tang Ming's office to get the medicine. Tang Ming introduced the usage and precautions for each medicine to Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu maintained a polite distance.

Just as she was about to leave, Tang Ming suddenly stood up and apologized for misunderstanding her that day. Xiaoqiu smiled and told Tang Ming that she had already forgotten about that day. After Xiaoqiu left, Tang Ming watched her retreating figure in silence for a long time. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted his thoughts. Guoguo's crying voice came through the phone, and Tang Ming then learned that Zheng Chu had actually hit Guoguo, which instantly enraged Tang Ming.

Tang Ming arranged to meet Zheng Chu at the boxing gym. Tang Ming had no choice but to let Su Mang go home first, while he himself hurried away, leaving Su Mang wondering where this mysterious guy was going. In the boxing gym, Zheng Chu was repeatedly knocked down by Tang Ming. Zheng Chu got up again and again, his face bruised.

The enraged Tang Ming wouldn't listen to Zheng Chu's explanation, but instead, full of fury, accused Zheng Chu, saying that he had never laid a finger on Guoguo since childhood, and Guoguo treated him better than she treated her own brother. How could he hurt Guoguo? Zheng Chu explained that it was because Guoguo had gone too far that day; she had pushed a pregnant woman, which was why he had struck her by mistake.

The two ultimately parted on bad terms. That evening, Zheng Chu appeared at Su Mang's doorstep with injuries on his face. Su Mang had already guessed that Tang Ming had arranged to fight him, but she hadn't expected him to hit so hard. Su Mang subconsciously reached out to touch Zheng Chu's wounds, her eyes filled with tenderness. Seeing Su Mang's gaze, Zheng Chu involuntarily fell for her. Zheng Chu gave Su Mang a kissing fish cushion.

Su Mang, puzzled, asked if kissing fish shouldn't come in a pair, and why he only bought one. Zheng Chu stammered that he didn't know and would get her another one next time. Su Mang pulled Zheng Chu to the computer to look at the nutritious recipes she had collected to provide the best nutrition and growth environment for the baby, totaling over a hundred dishes. Zheng Chu wondered, asking if she expected him to learn all of them.

Su Mang slapped the table and asked him if he would do it or not. Zheng Chu glumly agreed. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang if she wanted to hear the baby's sound. Su Mang, puzzled, asked how she could hear it. Zheng Chu mysteriously told Su Mang to wait, then ran home to retrieve the fetal heart monitor he had bought for Su Mang, telling her that this would be how she communicated with the baby from now on.

Su Mang listened curiously to the fetal heartbeat. A moment later, she exclaimed in surprise, "I hear it, I hear it!" and shared the moving heartbeat sound with Zheng Chu. As they listened, Zheng Chu inadvertently looked up, and their eyes suddenly met. The close distance made their heartbeats seem to synchronize into one. After being slapped by Zheng Chu, Guoguo had been sad and distraught.

That evening, attending Amy's charity gala, she completely messed up the press release Tony had given her, and when answering the host's questions, she was completely detached, her mind entirely focused on Zheng Chu hitting her. Her answers were completely irrelevant, almost leading to disaster. That evening, Tony accompanied Guoguo home and saw Su Chang waiting at her doorstep. Guoguo knew he must have found out about Su Mang's situation.

Guoguo told Tony to go home, wanting to talk to Su Chang alone. Su Chang, abandoning his usual playful smile, looked at Guoguo with extreme seriousness. Guoguo cried, complaining about Zheng Chu hitting her. After listening, Su Chang said nothing and prepared to leave. Guoguo pulled him, asking why he was leaving without a word. Su Chang told Guoguo that someone had already taught her a lesson, and he had nothing more to say.

As he left, Su Chang added that he couldn't control his feelings for Guoguo, but he only had one sister. If anyone wronged his sister, he could only wrong himself. With that, Su Chang slapped himself hard across the face and turned to leave, leaving Guoguo squatting on the ground, crying bitterly. The next day at work, Su Mang returned the three hundred yuan medical fee that Fei Yi had paid for her trip to the hospital.

Fei Yi countered by asking Su Mang if she also kept such clear accounts with Zheng Chu normally. Su Mang replied that Zheng Chu was one of her own, so of course, there was no need to be so clear about accounts. She simply knew whose money she could spend and whose money she couldn't. After Su Mang left, Fei Yi smiled meaningfully. Xiaoqiu came to find Su Mang and returned the repaired necklace to her.

Su Mang looked at the necklace, which was as good as new, feeling both surprised and delighted, and she admired and thanked Xiaoqiu even more. Su Mang invited Xiaoqiu to have a drink at the coffee shop next door. During their chat, Su Mang casually inquired about Zheng Chu to Xiaoqiu.

When Xiaoqiu looked at her suspiciously, Su Mang quickly covered up, saying she just wanted to know more about her employees from a superior's perspective, as she had many big projects to entrust to Zheng Chu in the future. Xiaoqiu told Su Mang that she could rest assured, Zheng Chu was definitely a responsible, caring, and kind employee. Su Mang couldn't help but smile when she heard Xiaoqiu give Zheng Chu such high praise.

Ever since their farewell at home, Su Chang truly never came to see Guoguo again. Guoguo had no choice but to disguise herself and come to the magic theater, but unexpectedly, Su Chang didn't appear on stage even after the performance ended. When all the guests had dispersed, Guoguo insisted on going upstairs but was stopped by the theater staff. Guoguo started to make a scene, and only then did Su Chang appear.

It turned out he had been backstage all along, silently cleaning his magic props. While wiping his props, Su Chang told Guoguo that his parents hadn't supported his magic from a young age, and it was his sister who finally persuaded their parents. Although Su Mang didn't support him either, ever since their parents passed away, she had worked six jobs to support herself. This magic theater was also opened with Su Mang's help.

Guoguo quietly listened as Su Chang spoke about his past with Su Mang. She gradually understood why Su Chang was so angry with her. In Su Chang's heart, Su Mang was his sister, and even more, she was the person in this world he would protect with his life from the slightest harm. That evening at Su Mang's house, Zheng Chu and Su Mang were sitting on the sofa.

Zheng Chu was browsing a tablet with one hand, while the other was held by Su Mang. Su Mang declared that she would tell Zheng Chu about his past and present lives. Zheng Chu initially thought Su Mang was just trying to be mysterious, but he was surprised to find that some things she said about his past few years were actually correct. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu if he had any other girlfriends besides Chen Shanshan.

Zheng Chu swore to heaven that he had no other girlfriends. Su Mang rolled her eyes and asked, "What about Xiaoqiu's sister?" Only then did Zheng Chu realize that Su Mang had gotten all her information from Xiaoqiu. Zheng Chu, with a smiling face, told Su Mang that Xiaoqiu's sister was Shanshan. Su Mang was startled. Zheng Chu reminded Su Mang not to discuss their sisterly relationship in front of Xiaoqiu next time they met.

Su Mang nodded, saying she wasn't foolish. Zheng Chu chuckled, "Hmph, pregnancy makes you silly for three years." On the weekend, Zheng Chu bought groceries and was about to return home to cook for Su Mang when he saw Su Mang busying herself around the house. Many snacks that hadn't expired yet were thrown into the hallway by Su Mang. Zheng Chu entered the house and saw, "Goodness, what a major rearrangement!" Even a countdown sign was hung up.

Zheng Chu, both amused and curious, helped Su Mang arrange the things she had bought. Suddenly, his phone rang. It turned out Tang Ming had invited him to the boxing gym again. Zheng Chu had no choice but to leave first. With Zheng Chu gone, Su Mang felt a bit uneasy, and she decided to secretly follow him.

Zheng Chu arrived at the boxing gym and saw Tang Ming already waiting for him. Zheng Chu asked Tang Ming if he would feel relieved after this fight. Tang Ming said coldly, "What if I don't?" Zheng Chu, looking determined, said, "Then we'll keep fighting until you do." Tang Ming looked behind Zheng Chu and asked, "Why did you bring her here?"

Zheng Chu turned around, puzzled, and found that Su Mang had followed him to the boxing gym without him knowing. Su Mang said that since the matter started because of her, she had a responsibility to explain it to Tang Ming clearly. Su Mang told Tang Ming everything that had happened that day. Tang Ming was silent for a moment and then said, "Men have their own way of resolving things."

Seeing that she couldn't dissuade the two from fighting, Su Mang had no choice but to watch from the sidelines. In the ring, Zheng Chu was constantly attacked by Tang Ming but never fought back, which made Su Mang, who was watching from below, feel terrified. Finally, unable to watch any longer, she rushed onto the stage and told Zheng Chu that truly fighting your opponent was the only way to respect him.

Finally, Tang Ming and Zheng Chu had a real man-to-man fight in the ring. After the fight, Zheng Chu and Tang Ming resolved their differences. The three of them went out for noodles together. During their conversation, they realized that they all knew Yan Xiaoqiu, and Tang Ming decided to forgive Zheng Chu because Yan Xiaoqiu had enlightened him.

After dinner, Su Mang needed to go to the hospital to pick up her medical report and ordered Zheng Chu to go with her. Su Mang told Tang Ming that she knew Tang Guoguo was a simple and straightforward good girl, so she wouldn't hold anything against her. There were a lot of people at the hospital picking up their reports.

Zheng Chu and Su Mang had been waiting in line for a long time, but there were still so many people ahead of them, and it seemed like they would never get to the front. Someone called Zheng Chu. Seeing Zheng Chu looking anxious, Su Mang told Zheng Chu that if he had something to do, he should go ahead and she would wait in line.

Zheng Chu said with a grin that they wouldn't be getting to the front anytime soon, and there was a new coffee shop nearby, so he would take her there for a bite to eat, and they could come back when there were fewer people. Zheng Chu coaxed Su Mang into going to the coffee shop. He told Su Mang to go upstairs first while he went to the restroom. This was actually Tang Ming's idea.

He wanted Yan Xiaoqiu to act as a mediator between Su Mang and Tang Guoguo to resolve the conflict between the two women. Tang Ming and Zheng Chu stayed on the first floor to observe the situation. Sure enough, when Su Mang went upstairs, she saw Yan Xiaoqiu waiting for her. After a moment, Tang Guoguo also arrived. When Tang Guoguo saw Su Mang, she glared at her.

Su Mang just looked at Tang Guoguo's angry expression and found her extremely cute. With Yan Xiaoqiu's mediation, Su Mang told Tang Guoguo about her marriage experience. After listening, Tang Guoguo felt indignant on Su Mang's behalf, claiming that if she had been there at the time, she definitely wouldn't have allowed Su Mang to be bullied. Although Tang Guoguo and Su Mang weren't good friends, these words still warmed Su Mang's heart.

Tang Guoguo said that she would definitely make Zheng Chu fall in love with her. Su Mang said with a smile, "We'll see." After Tang Guoguo left, Su Mang said to Yan Xiaoqiu thoughtfully that she kind of liked this straightforward Tang Guoguo. If she had a younger sister, she would definitely spoil her like Tang Guoguo.

When Su Mang and Zheng Chu were about to leave, Tang Guoguo returned and told Su Mang that the woman in their department named Ella could be fired because everything she knew was told to her by Ella. Zheng Chu found Tang Guoguo's advice strange and jokingly asked Su Mang, "Has your relationship progressed so quickly? Is there any hope of becoming besties?"

Yan Xiaoqiu said with a smile, "Not quite besties, but there wasn't really a big problem to begin with. It's good that they've talked it out." With this matter resolved, Zheng Chu finally felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. Zheng Chu took Su Mang to get her test results. Unexpectedly, Su Mang was diagnosed with mild thalassemia. The doctor suggested that Su Mang have the child's father tested as well.

If the child's father also had mild thalassemia or didn't have it at all, the child could still be kept. But if the child's father had severe thalassemia, then the child would be in great danger, and a termination might be necessary. Hearing this, Su Mang panicked. When she got home, Su Mang locked herself in her room, and no matter how much Zheng Chu knocked on the door, she wouldn't open it.

Zheng Chu was anxious and didn't know what to do. Just as Zheng Chu was thinking about how to get in, Su Mang opened the door and told Zheng Chu with a flustered expression that the child might be in trouble. Zheng Chu calmed Su Mang down and asked what was going on. Su Mang repeated the doctor's words to Zheng Chu and showed him the information she had found.

Zheng Chu thought the doctor was right and that it was necessary for the adults to compromise for the sake of the child. Hearing this, Su Mang felt even more despondent. She told Zheng Chu to leave her alone for a while. Su Mang touched her stomach and said to herself, "Child, are you trying to punish Mommy? Everyone wants me to find your father, but I don't even know where your father is."

The next day at work, Zheng Chu gave Su Mang the information he had gathered from Tang Ming, several authoritative doctors, and online research about thalassemia and comforted her, saying that if she collapsed at this time, then the child would have even less hope. Su Mang was filled with gratitude for Zheng Chu's all-night efforts for her. Su Mang calmly told Zheng Chu that she had been too irrational and impulsive yesterday.

Now she had decided to have another checkup and promised that she would definitely not break down like she did yesterday. Looking at Su Mang's determined eyes, Zheng Chu felt heartbroken but also sincerely admired Su Mang. Zheng Meiling was working diligently in the UK when a staff member came in and told Zheng Meiling with a serious expression that her medical report was out and the test results showed that she had breast cancer.

Zheng Meiling's face changed, and then she fell silent. Su Mang arranged her work and went for a re-examination with Zheng Chu. While Su Mang was taking a number at the front desk, Zheng Chu was highly nervous. Tang Ming, who was accompanying them, couldn't help but laugh at Zheng Chu, wondering how he could be so nervous when Su Mang wasn't even that nervous herself.

Tang Ming asked Zheng Chu if he was too immersed in the role or if he had really developed feelings for her. This question left Zheng Chu unsure how to answer. Tang Guoguo called Zheng Chu to ask him something and suggested meeting at the hospital. Hearing Zheng Chu on the phone, Su Mang told him that she could go for the checkup alone and he didn't need to accompany her.

After Su Mang finished her checkup, she was about to return to the company when she saw Tang Guoguo and Zheng Chu talking in the hospital lobby. Su Mang, who was about to leave, heard Tang Guoguo ask Zheng Chu if he liked her. Hearing this, Su Mang stopped and wanted to know how Zheng Chu would answer this question. Zheng Chu didn't directly answer whether he liked her or not.

He told Tang Guoguo that although Su Mang seemed cold and distant on the outside, she actually cared about everyone in her heart. He also listed all the things Su Mang had done for everyone during this time and how much responsibility she had taken on that she shouldn't have. Finally, Zheng Chu told Tang Guoguo that no matter what happened, he would stand by Su Mang's side, and more importantly, he wouldn't let anyone hurt her.

After listening, Tang Guoguo ran away crying. Hearing these words, Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu's back, tears welled up in her eyes, her heart was filled with warmth, and love had already begun to sprout secretly in their hearts, gradually growing. Yan Xiaoqiu asked Su Mang to meet her at the coffee shop downstairs from their company. Yan Xiaoqiu heard about Su Mang's thalassemia from Tang Ming and was very worried about Su Mang.

Su Mang finally had someone to talk to about the worries and fears she had been holding in her heart. Yan Xiaoqiu felt very sorry for her and comforted Su Mang, reminding her to remember that she was a mother and couldn't give up on this life because of a little difficulty. During their conversation, Su Mang received a text message from the hospital notifying her to pick up her test report.

Su Mang couldn't help but feel a little scared. Yan Xiaoqiu grabbed Su Mang's hand and told her that she would go with her. At the hospital, Su Mang got her report, which stated that the previous test was misdiagnosed and the current test results showed that Su Mang had no problems at all. Su Mang's face was filled with disbelief. Zheng Chu rushed over, and seeing that Su Mang's test was fine, he finally felt relieved.

Su Mang was still worried that there might be a problem and insisted on having another test. Just as Zheng Chu was stopping her, Su Mang received a call from the company urging them to go back for a meeting. Su Mang took Zheng Chu back to the company. Aimei Group proposed to cooperate with Su Mang's company.

This was a big project, but Aimei Group stated that if they wanted the project to be successful, Zheng Chu must be the project leader. At the company's meeting, Su Mang left Zheng Chu behind. Luo, the boss, said that although Zheng Chu was Zheng Meiling's nephew, wouldn't this be inappropriate? Fei Yi was also very dissatisfied and was even more confrontational towards Zheng Chu at the meeting.

At this time, Su Mang strongly supported Zheng Chu and said that if the project was not successful in the end, she would resign to apologize. But if the project was successful, Fei Yi said disdainfully that he would bow to Zheng Chu in front of the whole company to apologize. Back in the office, Zheng Chu's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion for Su Mang.

He knew that Su Mang was betting everything in order to prove to everyone that he, Zheng Chu, had the ability to do it. Zheng Chu secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let Su Mang down. At noon, Zheng Chu took Su Mang to a baby store. Su Mang chose a lot of things. When she came out, she saw that Zheng Chu had already made his selections and was waiting for her.

Su Mang rummaged through Zheng Chu's shopping cart and found that there were several books about expectant fathers. Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu in confusion and asked, "Is he really going to be a father?" Zheng Chu jokingly said that it wasn't him who was going to be a father, but the child needed it. Su Mang looked surprised. Zheng Chu quickly explained that he didn't mean anything else.

It was just role-playing, and he was still her little nanny, but he could play the role of the child's father. Hearing this, Su Mang was very touched, but she jokingly said, "Why not use it if it's free?" Both of them left with warm smiles on their faces.

In the company, Zheng Chu sorted out the relevant information about the Aimei project on a USB drive and gave it to Su Mang, instructing her to let Ella take it to him after she finished reading it. Looking at Zheng Chu, who was organizing things in an orderly manner, Su Mang was tempted to tease him. So Su Mang put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, saying, "President Zheng is getting into character quickly now.

Not only are you arranging things for me, but you're also arranging work for my assistant." Zheng Chu immediately put on a flattered look and repeatedly said that he wouldn't dare. The two sang in harmony, making it a lively scene.

Tang Ming was fencing in the fencing hall when a master suddenly appeared. The master attacked quickly and decisively, moving flexibly and gracefully. After a few rounds, Tang Ming was no longer a match. When the two took off their helmets, Tang Ming was surprised to find that the mysterious master was none other than Yan Xiaoqiu.

Yan Xiaoqiu had recently been preparing for a jewelry design competition but had been struggling to find inspiration and was frustrated that she couldn't create a satisfactory piece. However, during the fencing match with Tang Ming, Yan Xiaoqiu suddenly caught a flash of inspiration. Yes, that was the design she wanted to create. Yan Xiaoqiu delightedly told Tang Ming that she had found inspiration and, after saying so, couldn't wait to go home and design her piece.

Tang Ming still caught up with Yan Xiaoqiu and escorted her all the way home. Tang Ming asked Yan Xiaoqiu if she still hadn't forgiven him, which was why she kept calling him Doctor Tang. Yan Xiaoqiu smiled and told Tang Ming that she had actually forgotten about it and had thought about it for a long time, still not wanting to lose him as a friend. Their misunderstanding was finally completely resolved.

Tang Ming watched Yan Xiaoqiu's back as she went upstairs, his gaze soft and profound. Fei Yi handed Su Mang a USB drive. The USB drive contained all the evidence Fei Yi had collected about Su Mang's assistant, Aila, and former director, Hehe, regarding their fraudulent accounting and kickbacks.

Su Mang looked at the USB drive but did not immediately go to Aila to deal with her; she simply threw the USB drive on the desk and paid no further attention to it. After Su Mang finished reading the preliminary project proposal for the "Aimei Project" that Zheng Chu had given her, she threw the USB drive on the desk and got up to leave.

However, Su Mang did not notice that at this moment, there were two identical USB drives lying on the desk. The Tourism Department and the Marketing Department held a joint meeting to hear Zheng Chu's report on the Aimei Project. During the meeting, Zheng Chu asked Aila to go to Su Mang's office to retrieve the USB drive containing the Aimei Project's data.

Aila went to Su Mang's office, saw a USB drive on the desk, and took it directly, completely unaware that an identical USB drive was still plugged into the computer. Zheng Chu inserted the USB drive into the computer, and to everyone's astonishment, evidence of Aila and Hehe's joint fraudulent accounting and kickbacks, along with screenshots of their chat logs, suddenly appeared on the screen.

Su Mang then knew that Aila had brought it upon herself by taking the wrong USB drive. Colleagues were in an uproar, and Zheng Chu was completely stunned on the spot. Su Mang, with an unpleasant expression, told Aila to go to the finance department to settle her wages. Before, Aila had made continuous small mistakes, which Su Mang could tolerate.

Su Mang had only intended to keep this matter to herself, but given the current situation, she absolutely could not keep Aila. Aila stood up in a panic to defend herself. In desperation, Aila shouted that she was pregnant, and according to legal regulations, a company cannot dismiss a pregnant employee. Su Mang called Aila into her office and asked her how long she had been pregnant. Aila stammered, "About 20-some days."

Su Mang told Aila that she had an appointment with a doctor for a check-up and suggested they go together so Aila could also get checked. Aila struggled, a look of fear on her face. Su Mang looked at Aila's tearful and helpless face and sternly demanded to know how much longer she intended to lie.

Seeing that her deception was exposed, Aila had no choice but to admit that she was not pregnant at all; she had only told such a lie because she was too worried about the company dismissing her. Aila recounted everything about her and Hehe to Su Mang. Su Mang listened, then frowned and said, "So, Hehe abandoned you?" Aila choked up. Aila was about to offer her resignation but was stopped by Su Mang.

Su Mang told Aila that she had actually known about these things for a long time but had never exposed her, wanting to keep Aila and give her another chance. Su Mang then assigned Aila new work responsibilities. Aila couldn't believe that Su Mang wouldn't fire her and expressed her sincere gratitude and admiration for Su Mang.

Su Mang told Aila that this matter should serve as a lesson for her, to have better judgment when choosing men in the future. Aila was too grateful to speak. Ever since Mother Tang received that set of jade mahjong tiles from Chen Shanshan, her luck had been incredibly good. Mother Tang instructed Tang Ming to definitely bring this friend home tonight, as she wanted to thank her properly.

That evening, Tang Ming brought Chen Shanshan home as Mother Tang had requested. Mother Tang realized that this friend was the Chen Shanshan whom Father Tang disliked, and she couldn't help but wonder why Father Tang looked down on such a nice girl. While the three were having dinner and chatting, Mother Tang inadvertently mentioned that Tang Guoguo had brought Yan Xiaoqiu home last time.

Chen Shanshan suddenly understood; the girl next to Tang Ming was actually her own elder sister, Yan Xiaoqiu. Chen Shanshan secretly seethed, wondering why it had to be her blocking her path. Su Mang and Zheng Chu went to the mall for dinner. However, Su Mang barely ate a few bites, but instead spent over 2000 yuan buying a pile of useless things. Zheng Chu was astonished.

Su Mang nonchalantly told Zheng Chu that buying things made her happy and brought her good luck. That evening, Zheng Chu looked it up online and discovered that Su Mang's situation had a professional term: shopaholism. The route for the Aimei Project required strong support from the local government, so Zheng Chu decided to personally scout the route and specifically came to Su Mang to request a business trip.

When Su Mang heard that Zheng Chu was going on a business trip, for some reason, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. Zheng Chu wanted to change Su Mang's shopaholic habit, so he restricted her shopping. Although Su Mang was very unhappy about having her hands tied, for some reason, deep down, Su Mang was still very willing to listen to Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu pulled Su Mang to the shopaholism cessation center.

Zheng Chu used a provoking tactic and finally got Su Mang into the classroom. Zheng Chu revealed a smug smile. In class, the students were all stating their reasons for compulsive shopping. Su Mang couldn't listen anymore, so she got up and left. Back home, Su Mang locked herself in. Zheng Chu knocked on the door, but Su Mang ignored him. Su Mang hugged the kissing fish Zheng Chu had given her, falling into deep thought.

The next morning, Zheng Chu, holding a prepared storage box, knocked on Su Mang's door. To help Su Mang overcome her shopping addiction, to help her find healthier ways to vent, and especially to provide her child with a rational and calm mother, Zheng Chu put the flashy, impractical, and largely useless items Su Mang had bought up for sale on a second-hand website.

Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu pitifully, her eyes tearful, and pleaded with Zheng Chu if she could sell these things herself. Zheng Chu believed Su Mang, turned to go to the market to buy groceries, and reminded Su Mang to eat her breakfast. Reading the little note Zheng Chu had left, Su Mang couldn't help but smile, happily enjoying her breakfast. Zheng Chu came to pick up Su Mang after her yoga class.

Su Mang was sullen and deliberately asked Zheng Chu if he didn't come to her yoga class because he was afraid of being misunderstood. Zheng Chu smiled and said, "Of course not." He had found a cooking auntie for her, so when he was away on a business trip for a week, Su Mang's pregnancy meals would be taken care of.

Zheng Chu also told Su Mang that today he wanted to take her for a walk in the suburbs, as the doctor said it was good for both the baby and the pregnant woman. To accompany Su Mang on this outing, Zheng Chu had specifically stayed up all night yesterday organizing his business trip documents. Su Mang felt a warmth in her heart seeing Zheng Chu, who had stayed up all night to be with her.

Zheng Chu jokingly suggested, "How about giving me a kiss for encouragement?" Su Mang smiled, closed her eyes, and said she'd rather sleep. Inside the car, even the air seemed to turn sweet. While on his business trip, Zheng Chu didn't forget to set a reminder for Su Mang to attend her shopaholism cessation class. Zheng Chu called Su Mang, and Su Mang asked Zheng Chu if he was still trying to control her from such a distance.

Su Mang, slightly sourly, asked Zheng Chu if the Mosuo girls at Lugu Lake were very beautiful. Zheng Chu, to cooperate with Su Mang, put on an appearance of enjoying himself. At noon, Fei Yi saw that Su Mang hadn't eaten much and specifically brought her a meal. Su Mang opened it and saw cilantro inside. Su Mang secretly thought that Zheng Chu was indeed the one who understood her best.

Fei Yi invited Su Mang to a concert, but Su Mang naturally refused. Su Mang deliberately took a photo of the meal Fei Yi had brought and posted it on her Moments, adding the caption, "A loving meal from a colleague." Sure enough, less than a minute after the post went live, Zheng Chu's video call came through. Zheng Chu immediately asked who sent the loving meal. To annoy Zheng Chu, Su Mang deliberately didn't tell him.

Zheng Chu, in a huff, then said he would continue to spread love to the Mosuo girls. That evening, Tang Ming was driving Zheng Chu. Tang Ming asked Zheng Chu, "Didn't you say you'd be back in two days? Why are you back already?" Zheng Chu told Tang Ming to drive to Huaihai Middle Road. Tang Ming, puzzled, asked where they were going. Zheng Chu explained that it was, of course, for something important.

Tang Ming teased Zheng Chu, saying it wasn't like him to feel so insecure after being separated from Su Mang for just three days. Zheng Chu rolled his eyes and said, "If Su Mang hadn't been so picky and driven away the cooking auntie, I wouldn't have come back so early." Zheng Chu rushed to the shopaholism cessation center. He quietly opened the door and found Su Mang sitting attentively in the classroom, listening to the lesson.

Zheng Chu was overjoyed; this proved that Su Mang had still listened to him. From another perspective, his position in Su Mang's heart was still extraordinary. Zheng Chu couldn't contain his delight and secretly began to spontaneously dance in the corridor. After class, Su Mang went to her car and was pleasantly surprised to find Zheng Chu waiting in front of it.

Su Mang suppressed the joy in her heart, put on a calm expression, and asked Zheng Chu why he was back. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang how she had angered the auntie away and what Su Mang had been eating these days since the auntie left. Su Mang, looking very smug, told Zheng Chu that people had been sending her loving meals these days.

Zheng Chu sourly remarked that accepting others' food makes one beholden, especially from those with ill intentions. Zheng Chu then deliberately provoked Su Mang, saying that compared to those Mosuo girls, she lacked a little bit of tenderness. Su Mang angrily left Zheng Chu standing there and drove off. Tang Guoguo's voice suddenly failed, reaching a point where she could no longer perform on stage.

The entertainment industry is a place where new talents quickly replace the old, and Ye Lisha swiftly took over all of Tang Guoguo's work. Tang Guoguo not only lost opportunities to appear publicly but also her commercial performance gigs. Tony was extremely anxious. Ye Lisha intended to draw Tony to her side, but Tony told Ye Lisha that he was not only Tang Guoguo's agent but also her buddy, and he would not leave Tang Guoguo.

This deeply moved Tang Guoguo. Su Mang went to her last class. Zheng Chu had something to do and didn't come. Su Mang looked at the empty chair next to her, feeling uneasy. Zheng Chu ran in, panting. When Su Mang saw Zheng Chu, she instantly felt at ease. Just as it was time for Su Mang's concluding remarks, Tang Guoguo followed Zheng Chu all the way to the classroom.

Tang Guoguo kindly showed concern for Su Mang, but her direct words led Su Mang to misunderstand. Su Mang thought Zheng Chu had deliberately brought Tang Guoguo to laugh at her. Zheng Chu had no choice but to quickly take Tang Guoguo out. That evening, Tang Guoguo returned home and met Su Chang waiting downstairs for her. Su Chang took Tang Guoguo to a magic museum, wanting to show her his latest magic trick.

The audience commented on how well Su Chang and his assistant, Yangyang, matched on stage. Tang Guoguo listened from the side, feeling a strange pang of jealousy. After the performance, Tang Guoguo quietly asked Yangyang if she liked Su Chang. Yangyang smiled but didn't answer, simply telling Tang Guoguo that since she didn't like her boss, why was she bothering so much?

Tang Guoguo, steeling herself, told Yangyang that no matter what, the two of them were not a good match, just not a good match. Su Mang returned home and closed the door, ignoring Zheng Chu's knocks and apologies. Although Zheng Chu knew Tang Guoguo had been a bit excessive today, she hadn't meant any harm. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang if her reaction was a bit over the top.

Su Mang opened the door and yelled at Zheng Chu, but as Zheng Chu listened to Su Mang's accusations, they sounded more and more like jealousy. Su Mang stubbornly refused to admit she was jealous. Zheng Chu, listening to Su Mang scold him, felt a secret delight in his heart.

Zheng Chu blocked Su Mang's doorway early in the morning, forcing her to hand over her wallet. Su Mang unwillingly gave the wallet to Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu was surprised that Su Mang had kept so much cash on her. To help Su Mang live a healthier life, Zheng Chu decided to only leave her one credit card and five hundred yuan in cash in her wallet, keeping the rest himself for safekeeping.

If Su Mang truly needed to buy something, he would give her the money after confirming. Su Mang complained endlessly as she looked at the small amount of cash and the card. The company no longer provided resources for Guoguo. To help with Guoguo's career, Tony decided to go out and secure some resources for her. However, Tony worried that if he did this, his care for Guoguo would definitely not be enough.

Tony knew that Su Chang truly liked Guoguo, so he went to discuss with Su Chang, hoping that Su Chang could accompany Guoguo when he wasn't by her side. Su Chang felt that the immediate priority wasn't to secure resources for Guoguo, but to take her to see a doctor. Tony and Su Chang reached a consensus for the first time. They literally tied and bundled Guoguo and took her to the hospital.

The doctor truthfully told the three of them that Guoguo's throat definitely wouldn't recover in a short time, so singing was probably out of the question. The doctor even suggested that Guoguo should change jobs. Tony and Su Chang were both astonished, but only Guoguo was particularly calm. Tony and Su Chang asked Guoguo if she had seen a doctor a long time ago.

Guoguo put on an indifferent facade and instead comforted the two, saying that she just couldn't sing anymore, but she was still Miss Tang. Su Chang saw the sadness behind Guoguo's feigned strength. Su Chang took Tony and Guoguo to a particularly delicious barbecue restaurant. Usually, Tony protected Guoguo like a fairy, not letting her eat this or that, as if she didn't partake in earthly food.

Encouraged by Su Chang, Guoguo finally cast aside all her worries and ate and drank heartily, regardless of how others viewed her as a faded star, not caring about her weight or appearance. Just as Guoguo was having a great time, Tony and Su Chang noticed a large rash of red spots on her arm. The two pulled Guoguo to find Tang Ming.

Tang Ming angrily scolded Guoguo, asking if she didn't know she had an allergic constitution and still dared to gorge herself outside. After leaving Tang Ming, Tony comforted Guoguo, telling her not to give up on herself like this. However, although Guoguo appeared incredibly strong on the surface, the vulnerability revealed in her eyes was truly impossible to hide. Tony and Su Chang took Guoguo to a karaoke bar.

Guoguo recklessly strained her voice, telling Tony that she only now realized all her previous singing was just 'moaning without illness'. Tony looked at Guoguo like this, genuinely feeling heartache. Guoguo finally sang until she was tired, no longer screaming so intensely, but switched to a low pitch. Tony was instantly captivated by Guoguo's voice.

He woke up Su Chang and asked both Su Chang and Guoguo to feel it: in an environment where good voices emerged endlessly, Guoguo's deep and husky voice was instead unique. Tony felt that Guoguo had hope for a comeback. Xiaoqiu came to Tang Ming for a prescription, which was for nearly a week's supply. Tang Ming asked in confusion, "There should still be some of the last medicine left, right?"

Xiaoqiu told Tang Ming that she and her father were returning to Lijiang for Chinese New Year and would leave tomorrow. Tang Ming hadn't expected Xiaoqiu to leave Shanghai so soon, and suddenly felt very reluctant, but couldn't say anything for a moment. Xiaoqiu looked at Tang Ming's profile, feeling guilty for concealing the matter between herself and her biological sister Shanshan from him.

She wondered if Tang Ming would still forgive her if he ever found out she had kept things from him. That evening, Tang Ming returned home, thinking about the time he had spent with Xiaoqiu. He became increasingly certain that Xiaoqiu was the woman he wanted to spend his life with, so Tang Ming booked a flight to Lijiang for early tomorrow morning. Tang Ming arrived in Lijiang just as Xiaoqiu and her father were having lunch.

Xiaoqiu's father was naturally overjoyed to see Tang Ming, bringing out his long-cherished good wine to entertain him. Tang Ming asked Xiaoqiu to show him around Lijiang for the next few days, and Xiaoqiu happily agreed. Two days later, that evening, Xiaoqiu was packing for the last stop of their visit, a climb up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Tang Ming happened to pass by and came in to take a look.

Seeing Xiaoqiu meticulously preparing every single item, Tang Ming couldn't help but blurt out, "Xiaoqiu will definitely be a good wife and a good mother in the future." Xiaoqiu's face immediately flushed red when she heard Tang Ming's praise. These days, under Zheng Chu's strict control, Su Mang hadn't enjoyed the thrill of shopping for a long time. One day, Su Mang secretly took advantage of Zheng Chu's absence from home, shopped, and had items delivered to her door.

When checking out, Su Mang took a large block of ice from the refrigerator. It turned out that to evade Zheng Chu, Su Mang had frozen her credit card in ice. As fate would have it, just as Su Mang finished swiping her card, Zheng Chu returned and saw so many people in her home. Su Mang lied, claiming these people were her friends visiting her, and these items were gifts from them.

Zheng Chu, of course, didn't believe Su Mang's nonsense. Su Mang had no choice but to admit that she had bought these things, but only spent a little over 2000 yuan. Just as Zheng Chu was about to reprimand Su Mang, the people who had left earlier returned. They told Su Mang that because of her single purchase of 20,000 yuan, they were giving her a lucky bag.

Seeing her lie exposed, Su Mang timidly dared not look Zheng Chu in the eye. Zheng Chu sarcastically remarked that it was "absolutely brilliant" of Su Mang to come up with the idea of freezing her card in ice. Just as Su Mang was feeling smug, Zheng Chu opened her wardrobe and discovered that all the clothes and shoes Su Mang had promised to get rid of were hidden inside, scattered everywhere.

Su Mang was at a loss for how to explain. Zheng Chu angrily left Su Mang's house, even threatening never to care about her again. Su Mang grabbed Zheng Chu's sleeve to apologize, but Zheng Chu ignored her. In the hallway, Zheng Chu secretly called Su Mang's teacher. The teacher advised Zheng Chu to be strict now, as only then could Su Mang's shopping addiction be effectively treated.

Zheng Chu followed the teacher's instructions; no matter how Su Mang apologized and begged for mercy, Zheng Chu simply ignored her. Su Mang received a call from a British lawyer. On the call, the other party informed Su Mang that her ex-husband, Chen Jiaming, had gone bankrupt, and Su Mang was required to bear half of the debts incurred during their marriage.

Su Mang found it incredible; when they divorced, she hadn't taken a single penny from Chen Jiaming, yet now she was being made to bear half of his debt, an amount even reaching several million yuan. Su Mang made a video call to Cai Ling. After hearing Su Mang's description, Cai Ling also thought Chen Jiaming was utterly shameless. She instructed Su Mang that she absolutely must not give in on this matter.

Su Mang was thoughtful; she felt this matter wouldn't be so simple. At the company, Zheng Chu claimed he was sick and gave all the proposals to Xiao Gu, asking him to report to Su Mang. Zheng Chu then chatted, laughed, sang, and danced with his colleagues outside Su Mang's office. Su Mang hadn't expected Zheng Chu to actually ignore her when he said he would. After work that evening, Su Mang went to Zheng Chu's house again.

Su Mang was truly out of options. She confronted Zheng Chu, saying she really knew she was wrong and would accept whatever Zheng Chu said. Zheng Chu, suppressing a smile, asked her if she really would agree to anything. Su Mang firmly replied yes.

Zheng Chu then seized the opportunity to ask Su Mang to return to Shaoxing with him for the New Year, and casually told her that Su Chang would likely be with Guoguo for the New Year and wouldn't have time for her. After verifying with Su Chang, Su Mang discovered that everything Zheng Chu said was true.

Su Mang thought about it back and forth, only then realizing that this was a trap set by Zheng Chu, with the goal of making her go home with him for the New Year? Zheng Chu explained that to avoid suspicion and for a legitimate reason, the main focus of the Emmy project this time was on developing small and medium-sized cities, and Su Mang could conveniently visit Shaoxing for an inspection.

Su Mang knew she was caught in this trap no matter what, so she agreed to Zheng Chu's proposal. Zheng Chu was overjoyed. Chen Shanshan called Tang Ming, but found his phone was continuously turned off. Last time Chen Shanshan went to the Tang family for dinner, she had the foresight to save their landline number. Shanshan called Tang Ming's mother and learned that Tang Ming had gone to Lijiang. Shanshan became pensive.

Yan Xiaoqiu took Tang Ming to Erhai Lake. By the picturesque Erhai Lake in Dali, Yan Xiaoqiu pulled Tang Ming and shouted loudly towards the lake. Tang Ming looked at the smiling Yan Xiaoqiu, and he seemed a little unclear whether the scenery was beautiful or if it was more captivating because Yan Xiaoqiu was by his side. In the following days, Yan Xiaoqiu took Tang Ming to visit various famous scenic spots in Lijiang.

Tang Ming spent a very unforgettable and happy Spring Festival in Lijiang. Chen Shanshan learned from Tang's mother that Tang Ming had arrived in Dali, so Chen Shanshan immediately returned to Dali. When she rushed back to her old home in Dali, only Yan's father was at home. Yan's father was overjoyed to see Chen Shanshan; he thought she had returned home for the New Year. Chen Shanshan coldly asked where Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu had gone.

Yan's father told her that they had gone to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Upon hearing this, Chen Shanshan's face darkened. Chen Shanshan did not say another word to Yan's father and turned to leave. Chen Shanshan recalled how her father had been addicted to gambling when she was a child and completely neglected their family, making her hatred for him even stronger. As for Yan Xiaoqiu, now she had become the one obstructing her marriage.

Chen Shanshan thought to herself, "You all forced me into this." As the last scenic spot for this Dali trip, Yan Xiaoqiu arranged for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. She decided to take Tang Ming to climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. When they went up the mountain, the weather was still sunny, but the higher they walked, the thinner the air became, and the snow on the ground grew thicker.

Both of them chose not to take the cable car; they wanted to hike up the mountain and measure the magnificent scenery of the snow mountain with their own feet. Halfway up the mountain, Tang Ming was chatting and laughing with Yan Xiaoqiu and didn't pay attention to his steps. It turned out there was ice under the snow. Tang Ming was momentarily careless and slipped, his whole body dangling over a crevice in the mountain.

Yan Xiaoqiu, disregarding her own safety, held on tightly to Tang Ming. However, Yan Xiaoqiu was slender, and holding onto the strong Tang Ming was too difficult. Tang Ming saw that Yan Xiaoqiu was losing strength, and if this continued, even Yan Xiaoqiu might be dragged down by him. Tang Ming scolded Yan Xiaoqiu, telling her to let go. Yan Xiaoqiu said without any hesitation that she would never let go of him, no matter what.

In an emergency, the mountain patrol team saw Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming, and finally, Tang Ming was rescued. Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu had no choice but to stay in an inn on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and leave the next day. Tang Ming anxiously asked if the arm Yan Xiaoqiu used to hold him was alright. But Yan Xiaoqiu stammered and refused to let Tang Ming see it, telling him she was fine.

Tang Ming looked at Yan Xiaoqiu and earnestly said that if they encountered similar dangers again, he wanted Yan Xiaoqiu to prioritize her own safety. Upon hearing Tang Ming's words, Yan Xiaoqiu's lips quietly curved into a sweet smile. After Tang Ming left, Yan Xiaoqiu thought to herself, "If I can't even protect someone important to me, what's the point?" Chen Shanshan told Yan's father that Tang Ming was her boyfriend. Yan's father was surprised.

Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming didn't return overnight, and Yan's father called Yan Xiaoqiu countless times, but none connected. When Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming hurried back, Yan's father sent Tang Ming away, wanting to talk to Yan Xiaoqiu alone. At this moment, Yan Xiaoqiu suddenly received a call from Chen Shanshan. Yan Xiaoqiu went to meet her at their agreed location. Upon seeing Chen Shanshan, Yan Xiaoqiu was overjoyed, thinking she had returned for the New Year.

But unexpectedly, Chen Shanshan arrogantly accused Yan Xiaoqiu and Tang Ming of having an unclear relationship. She shamelessly told Yan Xiaoqiu that Tang Ming was no one else but her boyfriend. Yan Xiaoqiu was shocked to hear this. She didn't expect that Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan would know each other, and that the relationship Chen Shanshan spoke of was boyfriend and girlfriend. However, Yan Xiaoqiu calmed down.

She told Chen Shanshan that even though she said so, did Tang Ming admit it? Yan Xiaoqiu only knew that ever since Tang Ming met her, he had never mentioned Chen Shanshan's name. The next morning in Suzhou, Zheng Chu rushed to Su Mang's hotel room, knocking on the door as if his life depended on it. Su Mang, who was half-asleep, got up and opened the door.

Zheng Chu told Su Mang that the good news was that Zheng Meiling was very satisfied with the Aimee project and decided to make an additional investment. Upon hearing this, Su Mang's eyes began to sparkle. However, Zheng Chu also shared some bad news. It turned out that Zheng's father had been urging Zheng Chu to get married soon. This time, Zheng Chu brought Su Mang to Shaoxing and also told his parents that he was bringing his girlfriend home.

Su Mang completely freaked out when she heard this. Zheng Chu knelt before Su Mang with a pitiful look, begging her to help him with this favor. Su Mang was unmoved. Zheng Chu had no choice but to reveal his trump card. He told Su Mang that his parents had said if the two of them didn't appear at home in half an hour, the old couple would directly come over.

Half an hour later, Zheng Chu, pulling Su Mang's suitcase, followed by a reluctant Su Mang, walked home. Acquaintances they met congratulated Zheng Chu on finding such a beautiful girlfriend. Zheng Chu gladly accepted, but Su Mang felt like she had been tricked into a bad situation. Upon arriving home, Zheng's mother was extremely satisfied with Su Mang, pulling her aside to chat about everything. Zheng's father even gave Su Mang a piece of calligraphy he personally wrote.

Seeing the two elders so enthusiastic towards her, Su Mang felt overwhelmed with guilt. Zheng Chu escorted Su Mang to his room to rest. However, the two elders actually eavesdropped on their conversation, which Zheng Chu immediately caught on to. Zheng's father explained that he was there to inform Zheng Chu that his aunt, Zheng Meiling, had arrived at the high-speed rail station and asked Zheng Chu to pick her up.

As soon as she heard that Zheng Meiling was coming back, Su Mang's face instantly changed color. She could only force a smile and go out with Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu and Su Mang picked up Zheng Meiling. Zheng Meiling blamed Zheng Chu for coming up with such a lie as renting a girlfriend to bring home. Zheng Chu, with a tearful face, indicated that wasn't it because Zheng's father was pressing him so hard?

Zheng Meiling then made a series of sarcastic remarks to Su Mang, which made Su Mang very displeased. She stood up, preparing to leave. Zheng Chu quickly stood up and, with an incredibly firm gaze, told Su Mang that at this moment, she was his girlfriend, and he wouldn't be at ease if she went anywhere. Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu, stunned.

Zheng Meiling saw Zheng Chu being so serious and, thinking that it was, after all, the Chinese New Year, decided to let things be. She agreed to help the two of them play out this act, and only then did the three of them return home together. While Zheng Chu and Su Mang were out picking up Zheng Meiling, Zheng's mother came into Su Mang's room to clean. She accidentally discovered that Su Mang was taking medicine.

Zheng's mother and Zheng's father only found out after checking that the medicine was for pregnant women. The two elders happily thought they were about to become grandparents. As soon as Zheng Chu and the other two returned and entered the living room, Zheng's mother came over to announce the good news that she was going to be a grandmother. Zheng's mother explained to Su Mang that she found out by accidentally discovering her medicine.

After the New Year, she planned to go to Shanghai with Zheng's father to take care of her. The family also decided to combine Zheng Meiling's birthday banquet with Su Mang and Zheng Chu's engagement banquet. Logically, Zheng Chu should have stepped forward to sort out this matter at this time. However, looking at Zheng Chu again, his triumphant smile revealed that he secretly wished for this outcome.

Su Mang excused herself, saying she felt unwell, and hurried back to her room. Zheng Chu came to find Su Mang. Su Mang was preparing to leave; she couldn't bear to deceive the two elders like this. Zheng Chu pretended to be pitiful and miserable, which ultimately persuaded Su Mang to stay. Su Chang called Su Mang, and Tang Guoguo happened to overhear.

Tang Guoguo, knowing that Su Mang and Zheng Chu were together, quickly called Zheng Chu to check on him. Zheng Chu tried every means to prevent Tang Guoguo from seeing Su Mang in the video, but eventually, the secret was revealed. During the day, Su Mang and Zheng Chu went together to inspect the Aimee tour in Shaoxing.

A passerby on the street almost bumped into Su Mang, and Zheng Chu instinctively pulled Su Mang into his arms to protect her. Zheng Chu took Su Mang to do bottle painting. They each painted the other person on their respective bottles, happily taking photos as souvenirs. Su Mang asked Zheng Chu for one thousand yuan. Zheng Chu thought Su Mang's shopping addiction had relapsed.

However, Su Mang used the one thousand yuan to buy a silk scarf for Zheng Meiling as a birthday gift. Zheng Chu was very touched. In the evening, Zheng Meiling came to Su Mang's room to find her. She asked Su Mang if she liked Zheng Chu. Su Mang denied it.

Zheng Meiling, with a regal demeanor, asked Su Mang that she had conducted an investigation in the UK, and her ex-husband was infertile, so where did this child come from? Su Mang's face hardened, and she questioned Zheng Meiling why she was investigating her; this was an invasion of privacy. Zheng Meiling sharply told Su Mang that as long as it didn't involve Zheng Chu, she wouldn't care about her private matters. Su Mang felt a moment of embarrassment.

She told Zheng Meiling that she would leave soon and would not be with Zheng Chu. Only then did Zheng Meiling give up. Full of melancholy, Su Mang knew that the reason she felt so upset at this moment was that Zheng Chu had long, silently, been in her heart. Tony organized a fan meeting for Tang Guoguo. Tang Guoguo was singing passionately on stage when some fans started questioning her voice and singing skills, even throwing eggs at her.

Su Chang was so angry he wanted to go up and hit people, but Tang Guoguo stopped him. Tony calmed the fans down and took Tang Guoguo away from the scene. Backstage, both Tony and Su Chang were worried for Tang Guoguo. Tang Guoguo calmly told them that it was clearly a premeditated act. Tony suddenly realized, "It's that bitch, Ye Lisha!" Tang Guoguo was not disheartened.

She firmly told Tony and Su Chang that the more people tried to stop her, the more determined she would be to return to the music scene and fight her way through.

Su Chang, in order to cheer on Tang Guoguo, secretly mobilized his friends and family to write fan letters to encourage Tang Guoguo. After Tony found out, although he didn't say anything, he still admired Su Chang in his heart. This day was Zheng Meiling's birthday banquet. Zheng mother took out a jewelry box containing a valuable jade ring. Zheng mother enthusiastically wanted to put it on Su Mang.

Su Mang, flattered, looked at Zheng Chu beside her and quietly asked what to do. Zheng Meiling leisurely interjected, saying that this ring was easy to put on, but difficult to take off. Su Mang saw that the situation was already beyond her control, and Zheng Chu was determined to make her accept the ring.

Su Mang had no choice but to stand up, bow to the elders, and tell Zheng father and Zheng mother that she was indeed pregnant, but the child was not Zheng Chu's, and that she and Zheng Chu were merely superior-subordinate colleagues, and their relationship as a couple was also fake. After Su Mang finished speaking, she hurriedly returned to her room to pack her belongings. The entire living room instantly fell silent.

Zheng father sternly asked Zheng Chu what was going on. Zheng Chu was in no mood to answer his father and turned to chase after Su Mang. Zheng Chu rushed to the airport, eagerly searching for Su Mang's back in the crowd. He finally saw her at the boarding gate. Zheng Chu shouted as he rushed over. Su Mang originally wanted to leave quickly, but Zheng Chu grabbed her arm. Su Mang shook off Zheng Chu's hand.

She told Zheng Chu that perhaps he didn't think much of it, but she felt very, very guilty. Who would be responsible for things as they were now? Zheng Chu stared intently into Su Mang's eyes and said word by word, he would be responsible. Zheng Chu finally decided to confess his feelings.

He told Su Mang that he had liked her for a long time, from washing clothes and cooking for her, to helping her overcome her shopping addiction, and then taking her home for New Year's. Zheng Chu pleaded with Su Mang, saying that he had done so much for her, and asked her not to ignore him. Su Mang looked bewildered. She said that she was divorced and had a child.

Before Su Mang could finish her sentence, Zheng Chu suddenly cupped Su Mang's face and kissed her. Su Mang's mind went blank from the kiss. Zheng Chu tightly embraced Su Mang's shoulders, his strong arms slowly calming Su Mang down. Zheng Chu earnestly told Su Mang that her child's father was Zheng Chu.

Zheng Chu promised to give himself time, and that he would definitely explain everything clearly to his family, telling them that the child in Su Mang's belly was his father. Su Mang burst into laughter at this slip of the tongue and mischievously said, "Then you're my grandson." The two finally opened their hearts and confirmed their feelings for each other. Just as the two were gazing affectionately at each other, Zheng Chu received a call from home.

Zheng Meiling had suddenly fainted. Su Mang urged Zheng Chu to hurry home to take care of his family. Zheng Chu reluctantly looked at Su Mang. Su Mang smiled and said that she would wait for him in Shanghai. Zheng Chu was overjoyed. Su Mang watched Zheng Chu's joyful retreating figure, her heart stirring. This man had done too much for her. The path was right there; how could she know the outcome if she didn't walk it?

Back in her Shanghai home, Su Mang often recalled all the moments she shared with Zheng Chu. Just then, Zheng Chu's call came in. He told Su Mang about the delivery numbers he had personally vetted for her, and the credit card he had prepared for her. Zheng Chu, in a tired voice, told Su Mang that his aunt had breast cancer.

Su Mang was startled; she could hear the suppressed choke in Zheng Chu's voice and felt extremely sad in her heart. In the hospital ward, Zheng Meiling looked lovingly at Zheng Chu. She hoped Zheng Chu could take over the Amway Group for her. Zheng Chu was surprised. He told Zheng Meiling that his capabilities were limited, and he couldn't be the CEO of the Amway Group. However, Zheng Meiling was still determined to have Zheng Chu take over.

Furthermore, Zheng Meiling also told Zheng Chu that he and Su Mang were not suitable; how could a future CEO of the Amway Group have people gossiping about his private life behind his back? Zheng Chu stubbornly stated that he genuinely liked Su Mang. He just wanted to live a simple life with Su Mang, and the child wouldn't affect their relationship.

Zheng Meiling looked at Zheng Chu's serious expression, sighed helplessly, and had to tell him that if that was the case, she wouldn't force him. However, his parents might not be easy to deal with. Zheng Chu looked at the weak Zheng Meiling, feeling an even deeper sadness in his heart. Chen Shanshan finally found Tang Ming in Lijiang. Tang Ming was surprised to see Chen Shanshan there.

Chen Shanshan stepped forward, grabbed Tang Ming's hand, and told him that her colleagues now all believed he was her boyfriend. That Xiao Jiang, who had harassed her last time, had started bothering her again in Tang Ming's absence these past few days. Chen Shanshan hoped Tang Ming would be her boyfriend for a few more days, so that Xiao Jiang wouldn't dare to trouble her again. Tang Ming was hesitant but, out of compassion, agreed to Chen Shanshan's request.

Chen Shanshan deliberately raised her voice and said, "Then, Brother Tang Ming, I'm your girlfriend now!" Yan Xiaoqiu happened to pass by and saw and heard this scene. Her heart sank, realizing that what Chen Shanshan had told her before was all true. Chen Shanshan pulled Tang Ming away from Lijiang. Before boarding, Tang Ming was distracted, constantly waiting for Yan Xiaoqiu, but his calls to Yan Xiaoqiu wouldn't go through.

Tang Ming thought he would explain to Yan Xiaoqiu when they returned to Shanghai. Su Mang went to find Su Chang, and Tang Guoguo happened to be there too. Su Mang noticed that Tang Guoguo and Su Chang's relationship was truly progressing by leaps and bounds. Su Mang pressed Su Chang for details, asking what was going on. Su Chang proudly told Su Mang that things were "in progress."

Su Mang hadn't expected that in just a few days since she left Shanghai, the relationship between these two had quietly developed. Su Mang went shopping at the mall and involuntarily succumbed to her old shopping addiction. Just as she was about to buy a bag she fancied, Zheng Chu suddenly appeared in her mind, scolding her for relapsing into her old habit. Su Mang instantly sobered up and consciously put the bag back.

On New Year's Eve, Zheng Chu sent Su Mang a WeChat message teaching her how to make fried rice. Separated by distance, Zheng Chu looked up at the night sky, feeling that his longing for Su Mang was greater than all the stars in the sky. Zheng Chu told Su Mang there would be a surprise soon. No sooner had he finished speaking than Su Mang's doorbell rang.

Su Mang was surprised; she thought Zheng Chu had returned and opened the door joyfully, the name Zheng Chu escaping her lips. However, it wasn't Zheng Chu standing at the door, but Fei Yi. Su Mang couldn't help but feel disappointed. Fei Yi was worried about Su Mang spending the New Year alone, especially as a pregnant woman, and since he was a bachelor himself, he came uninvited.

Although Su Mang didn't want Fei Yi to accompany her for the New Year, it was a kind gesture, and she found it hard to refuse. Fei Yi cooked the meal and poured drinks for Su Mang. Su Mang naturally remarked that Zheng Chu didn't let her drink anything but freshly squeezed juice. When serving soup, Fei Yi picked out some carrots, which Su Mang didn't like to eat.

However, Fei Yi emphasized that carrots were nutritious and she must eat them. In her anxiety, Su Mang blurted out that Zheng Chu never forced her to eat them. Fei Yi looked at Su Mang, who couldn't go three sentences without mentioning Zheng Chu, with a meaningful look in his eyes. Su Chang suddenly arrived at Su Mang's house with several people, each carrying an exquisite and delicious dish.

It turned out this was the surprise Zheng Chu wanted to give Su Mang. Fei Yi wisely left. Su Chang lectured Su Mang on Zheng Chu's behalf, asking how she could "cheat" while Brother Chu was away. Su Mang rolled her eyes hard at Su Chang. Looking at each dish, which represented Zheng Chu's thoughtfulness, Su Mang felt a sweet and not cloying warmth in her heart.

At the beginning of the New Year, Su Mang distributed red envelopes to her colleagues in the office. Xiao Gu and Jiajia were all incredibly happy. Su Mang saw Zheng Chu's empty seat, and her heart felt empty too. During a dinner gathering that evening, Su Mang felt unwell. Fei Yi drove Su Mang home. It turned out that the light in Su Mang's stairwell was broken.

In the dark stairwell, Fei Yi carefully supported Su Mang, but just as they were almost home, Su Mang accidentally slipped. Fei Yi quickly helped Su Mang. Just then, Zheng Chu rushed out from the shadows and instantly pulled Su Mang into his arms. When Su Mang saw Zheng Chu return, she felt as if her whole being lit up. Zheng Chu sourly sent Fei Yi away, and once inside, deliberately kept a straight face.

Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu's childish, jealous demeanor, finding it utterly adorable. Zheng Chu got up to make Su Mang some porridge. Su Mang affectionately hugged Zheng Chu from behind. The two enjoyed this rare intimate moment, and the air was filled with the scent of happiness. Tang Ming returned to Shanghai but could no longer contact Yan Xiaoqiu. He didn't know why Yan Xiaoqiu was suddenly ignoring him.

Tang Ming scrolled through Yan Xiaoqiu's WeChat, and the last status update on her Moments was from the day they went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, where Yan Xiaoqiu wrote that it was the happiest day of her life. Tang Ming felt bitter in his heart. Su Mang and Zheng Chu were having breakfast in the morning. Zheng Chu's parrot, Earl, was circling near Su Mang's fish tank, repeatedly squawking "fish, fish."

Su Mang scolded Earl, telling him not to eat fish. Zheng Chu took the opportunity to also educate Earl to listen to "Mommy." The two fed each other at the dining table. These small moments of happiness made both of them cherish each other even more. Zheng Meiling called Zheng Chu and Su Mang in. After listening to their report on the Amway Journey project, Zheng Meiling was very satisfied. Zheng Meiling sent Zheng Chu away, leaving Su Mang.

Su Mang preemptively stated that she had already anticipated what Zheng Meiling wanted to say to her: merely that she was married before and had a child. However, Su Mang affirmed that she was serious and couldn't control matters of the heart. Seeing Su Mang's earnest demeanor, Zheng Meiling also showed no weakness, telling Su Mang that she would not let her be with Zheng Chu. Su Mang calmly replied that she would listen to Zheng Chu.

Zheng Meiling then told Su Mang about her intention to entrust Amway to Zheng Chu. Zheng Meiling hoped that Su Mang would let Zheng Chu resign. Su Mang hesitated after hearing this. Zheng Meiling told Su Mang to go back and think clearly: whether she truly loved Zheng Chu or was being too selfish. As a bargaining chip, she promised to hand over all Amway projects to MG Company.

After Su Mang and Zheng Chu left, Su Mang asked Zheng Chu what his ideal was. Zheng Chu replied that he indeed used to have the same ambition as his aunt, but now he only wanted to live a simple life with Su Mang. Su Mang became thoughtful. A few days later, Su Mang went alone to find Zheng Meiling. Getting straight to the point, Su Mang told Zheng Meiling that she wanted both Zheng Chu and the Amway project.

In order for Zheng Chu to gain credibility in the future, Su Mang voluntarily offered to hand over the Amway project entirely to Zheng Chu. Zheng Meiling actually didn't have much prejudice against Su Mang; she frankly admitted that if Su Mang didn't have a child, she would definitely support Zheng Chu marrying her. Zheng Meiling proposed making Tang Guoguo the project's spokesperson, and Su Mang agreed.

Zheng Meiling seriously told Su Mang that since she felt the Amway Journey project wasn't enough of a bargaining chip, she would hand over all future Amway projects to MG Company, and also designate Su Mang to be in charge. This would guarantee Su Mang's promotion and salary increase. Her only goal was to make Su Mang leave Zheng Chu. Su Mang stated that she was not interested in any of these.

Zheng Meiling spoke earnestly, and uncharacteristically calmly, sharing her true thoughts with Su Mang. She asked Su Mang to put herself in her shoes: if twenty years from now, her son brought home a woman who was carrying another man's child, and her son insisted on marrying no one but her, how would Su Mang feel?

As the future CEO of Amway, if Zheng Chu's private life were to be scrutinized and gossiped about because of Su Mang, had Su Mang considered the immense pressure he would face? Su Mang gradually clenched her fists and, after a moment of silence, she promised Zheng Meiling that she would go back and seriously consider her words. After saying this, she turned and left. Zheng Meiling watched Su Mang's retreating figure. Although she felt great sympathy for her, she knew she had to do this for Zheng Chu's sake.

After Yan Xiaoqiu returned from Lijiang, she met Su Mang at a coffee shop. Su Mang told Yan Xiaoqiu everything in one go: Zheng Chu confessed his feelings to her, and Zheng Chu's aunt was going to hand over the Aimei Group to Zheng Chu. Yan Xiaoqiu understood the situation and was left only with sighs. Su Mang wanted to hear Yan Xiaoqiu's opinion.

Yan Xiaoqiu gave a wry smile and said that from a friend's perspective, she encouraged and supported Su Mang to pursue love, but as a good friend, she felt that Zheng Chu and Su Mang were not suitable. Yan Xiaoqiu told Su Mang that a couple's relationship couldn't always be sweet and affectionate. If one day Zheng Chu's career didn't develop well, he might suddenly blurt out, "Su Mang, I gave up the entire Aimei for you back then."

Yan Xiaoqiu asked Su Mang what she would do if such a thing really happened. After hearing Yan Xiaoqiu's words, Su Mang's head dropped lower and lower. Zheng Chu was boxing with Tang Ming at the gym. Zheng Chu and Tang Ming each had their own romantic troubles. Zheng Chu was bothered by the heavy pressure from his family and aunt, while Tang Ming was troubled that Yan Xiaoqiu had isolated him even before he could confess his feelings.

The two brothers drank together, and Zheng Chu got drunk again. Tang Ming took Zheng Chu back to Su Mang's house. Su Mang painstakingly settled Zheng Chu on the sofa, covering him with a blanket. Su Mang gently stroked Zheng Chu's face, her heart full of lingering affection. Zheng Chu couldn't answer the phone while drunk, so Zheng Chu's father called Su Mang. Zheng Chu's father told Su Mang that his family could not accept a daughter-in-law like Su Mang.

Su Mang quietly promised Zheng Chu's father and mother that she would leave Zheng Chu. After hanging up, Su Mang looked at Zheng Chu. In fact, she knew better than anyone how difficult this relationship was, and she knew better than anyone Zheng Chu's sacrifices for her. But how could a relationship not recognized by family and friends, a relationship that might hinder Zheng Chu's career, continue?

Large tears streamed down Su Mang's cheeks; her heart ached so much she couldn't breathe. But Su Mang knew it was time to let go. The next day, Zheng Chu rushed into Su Mang's office. He held a note and stared into Su Mang's eyes, asking her what it meant. Su Mang took a deep breath and said lightly that it was exactly what it said. Zheng Chu pressed Su Mang, asking what "let's just call it quits" meant.

Zheng Chu paused and asked if his aunt had said something to her. Su Mang suppressed the sadness in her heart and forced a seemingly nonchalant smile, saying that as a divorced pregnant woman, she didn't seem to match him at all. She added that instead of a drawn-out breakup later, it was better to cut ties now.

Zheng Chu's eyes reddened; he lowered his voice and roared that he didn't care about being the chairman of Aimei at all; he wanted nothing but Su Mang. Su Mang said with a cold face that no one could change her mind once she had made a decision. After speaking, Su Mang immediately told Zheng Chu to contact Tang Guoguo regarding the Aimei endorsement. Zheng Chu stared at Su Mang. She made him feel heartbroken and also unfamiliar.

But this was the company, and Zheng Chu knew it was not suitable to say more, so he exited the office. Su Mang was alone in the office, covering her face and sobbing. Su Mang and Fei Yi met by chance. Fei Yi was concerned that Su Mang didn't look well and jokingly asked if she had broken up. Su Mang retorted with a hint of sarcasm that Mr. Fei could now try fortune-telling.

Fei Yi asked Su Mang if Zheng Chu's aunt was difficult to deal with. Su Mang just gave a wry smile and replied to him that there was nothing difficult; it was just a matter of making a decision after thinking things through. Out of the corner of her eye, Su Mang saw Zheng Chu standing not far away, staring intently at her. Zheng Chu quickly walked over and, without a word, pulled Su Mang to the rooftop.

Zheng Chu asked Su Mang if what she just said meant she had decided to give up their relationship for the "Aimei Journey" project. Su Mang pretended to be calm and said that his aunt not only gave her the "Aimei Journey" case, but also, as long as she broke up with him, his aunt would hand over all future Aimei cases to her. She claimed to be such a woman.

Zheng Chu found it hard to believe that Su Mang would look down on herself like that. Zheng Chu told Su Mang that no one would believe her words. Su Mang only left him with the phrase, "Time will prove everything," and then turned and left. Chen Shanshan invited Yan Xiaoqiu for dinner. Yan Xiaoqiu thought Chen Shanshan wanted to reconcile with her. Unexpectedly, Tang Ming also came to the restaurant.

Chen Shanshan feigned an innocent look and introduced Yan Xiaoqiu to Tang Ming as her biological elder sister. She also deliberately acted intimately to show Yan Xiaoqiu. Yan Xiaoqiu looked at Chen Shanshan in disbelief; the smile on Chen Shanshan's face was innocent and sweet. Tang Ming awkwardly sat down with the two sisters. During the meal, the three of them had their own thoughts. Yan Xiaoqiu left early, claiming she had to work overtime at her company.

Tang Ming stood up to chase her. Chen Shanshan deliberately hooked Tang Ming's arm, preventing him from going. Yan Xiaoqiu saw their intimate appearance and left without looking back. A victorious smile appeared on Chen Shanshan's face. At the press conference for the "Aimei Journey" event, Tang Guoguo attracted all media attention as the spokesperson. As event planners, Su Mang, Zheng Chu, and Fei Yi were all present. Su Mang deliberately chose a seat next to Fei Yi.

During the event, Zheng Chu couldn't help but keep looking in Su Mang's direction. Su Mang deliberately acted very close to Fei Yi, whispering and laughing together. Zheng Chu withdrew his gaze with an indifferent expression. Zheng Meiling saw this scene between the two of them. When the banquet began, people kept coming to toast Su Mang. Fei Yi stayed by Su Mang's side the whole time, helping her block toasts.

Zheng Chu watched the two of them with a dark expression throughout. That night, Zheng Chu waited at Su Mang's doorstep. He finally waited for her to return. Just as Zheng Chu pulled Su Mang, about to have a good talk with her, Su Mang received a call from Chen Jiaming. Su Mang heard the voice on the phone and asked in surprise, "Chen Jiaming, you're returning to the country?" The call ended, and Su Mang looked stunned.

She didn't know what Chen Jiaming intended to do by returning at this time. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang who Chen Jiaming was. Su Mang exclaimed in distress that he was her ex-husband, and she was already troubled enough, so she wanted to be left alone. Su Mang slammed the door shut. Zheng Chu had no choice but to call Su Chang to ask him about Chen Jiaming and Su Mang.

However, Su Mang was the kind of person who kept all her troubles to herself, so even Su Chang wasn't very clear about their marriage details, including why they divorced. Zheng Chu didn't get any useful information, but he felt that the situation wasn't that simple. A few days later, Zheng Chu was leaving work and saw a strange man at Su Mang's doorstep, carrying a suitcase and making a phone call. He didn't seem to have good intentions.

Zheng Chu heard the content of the man's phone call and could roughly guess that he was Chen Jiaming. Zheng Chu went up and asked him who he was looking for. Chen Jiaming told Zheng Chu that he was looking for the woman of this house and also asked Zheng Chu if he knew where she had gone. Zheng Chu paused, his expression already clear, and retorted irritably, "You must be Chen Jiaming, right? Su Mang doesn't live here anymore."

After saying that, he turned and went back inside. Once inside, Zheng Chu quickly called Su Mang, telling her not to come home yet. But Su Mang was already upstairs when she answered the phone; it was too late. Chen Jiaming saw Su Mang return and shamelessly approached her. Chen Jiaming noisily insisted on going home with Su Mang to talk. Su Mang told him in disgust to speak right there if he had something to say.

Chen Jiaming threatened Su Mang that if she wasn't afraid of him revealing all their past scandals, then they should talk right there. Zheng Chu, at home, kept peering out through the peephole, fearing something might happen to Su Mang. Zheng Chu opened the door and asked Su Mang if she needed his help. Su Mang coldly said no and even brought Chen Jiaming back into the house.

Zheng Chu looked at the tightly closed door, his face filled with sorrow. Once inside the house, Chen Jiaming immediately asked Su Mang to pay his debts. He also shamelessly brought up Su Mang's artificial insemination, speaking in a vile and dirty manner. Su Mang could no longer tolerate it; she picked up a cushion and threw it at Chen Jiaming. Su Mang pushed Chen Jiaming, telling him to leave her house.

Chen Jiaming retaliated, unexpectedly pushing Su Mang onto the sofa, hitting her stomach. Zheng Chu, who was worried about Su Mang, climbed in through the window from outside and happened to witness this scene. He quickly helped Su Mang up and confirmed she was okay. Zheng Chu was deeply distressed and warned Chen Jiaming to leave immediately, or he would teach him a lesson. But Chen Jiaming was like a persistent scoundrel, utterly shameless.

Su Mang suddenly told Zheng Chu to leave and even pushed him out the door. Zheng Chu helplessly called Su Chang. Su Chang rushed to Su Mang's house after receiving the call. When he arrived, he found Chen Jiaming sound asleep in bed. Su Chang grabbed a broom and gave Chen Jiaming a good beating on the bed. The two fought from the bedroom to the living room. At this moment, Zheng Chu walked in through the open door.

He and Su Chang, with a look, locked Su Mang outside the door. Without Su Mang to break up the fight, Zheng Chu and Su Chang worked together to beat Chen Jiaming until he fled in disarray. Su Chang was worried that Chen Jiaming would cause trouble again. The two agreed that from then on, Su Chang would protect Su Mang at home, and Zheng Chu would protect her at the company.

Although Su Mang didn't give them a good look, once she closed the door, she shed tears of gratitude. The next day, Su Mang came to Zheng Meiling to discuss work. She proposed that Zheng Meiling attend the event as a patient representative and personally participate in the "Aimei Journey." This suggestion made Zheng Meiling greatly appreciate Su Mang's work ability.

Zheng Meiling couldn't help but secretly sigh, thinking that if Su Mang didn't have a child, she would definitely be a very good woman. After finishing work, Su Mang arranged to meet with a lawyer to carefully review her divorce agreement, to see if she truly had to help Chen Jiaming repay his debts. After reviewing it, the lawyer candidly told Su Mang that the other party's debts were indeed incurred during their marital relationship.

If there was no prenuptial agreement for independent property, then Su Mang was obligated to repay this debt. Chen Jiaming went to Su Mang's company to cause trouble. Zheng Chu saw him and asked him to leave. Chen Jiaming threatened, saying that Zheng Chu was Su Mang's toy boy.

Just as Zheng Chu was about to resort to violence again, Fei Yi appeared, dispersed the curious colleagues, and gave Zheng Chu a look, telling Chen Jiaming to wait in the meeting room, as it was better than causing a scene there. Su Mang returned to the company and learned about Chen Jiaming's matter. She rushed to the meeting room, where Chen Jiaming was sprawled on a chair like a boss. Zheng Chu approached Su Mang.

Su Mang still spoke with a cold expression, saying that she had placed the proposal discussed with Mr. Zheng on the table and told Zheng Chu to quickly organize the documents. Zheng Chu had no choice but to leave first. Su Mang told Chen Jiaming that she would help him repay his debts, but she didn't have that much money and would need some time to raise it. Only then did Chen Jiaming leave the company, satisfied.

Recently, Tang Guoguo received two major invitations: one was for the second female lead in a famous director's film, and the other was as a guest singer for the renowned singer Chen Yiran. Tang Guoguo felt that her luck had changed and was extremely happy. After hearing Tang Guoguo's news, Tang Guoguo's mother asked Tang Guoguo's father doubtfully if he hadn't sponsored this film and concert a few days ago.

Tang Guoguo's father told Tang Guoguo's mother to keep it a secret from Tang Guoguo. However, to his surprise, Chen Yiran was very dissatisfied after hearing Tang Guoguo sing. He even wanted to replace Tang Guoguo, but his agent secretly went up and told him that Tang Guoguo was backed by Tang's investment. Chen Yiran then sarcastically said to Tang Guoguo, "Miss Tang, just sing whatever you want, I'll accompany you."

Only then did Tang Guoguo realize that all of this was arranged by her father for her. Tang Guoguo ran off angrily. Zheng Chu came to Su Mang's office to check if she was alright. Su Mang still maintained her usual cold demeanor. As Zheng Chu was about to leave, he received a call from Zheng Chu's mother. Zheng Chu's mother told him that she was currently at his doorstep.

She also told Zheng Chu that there was an old lady waiting for someone at the house across from his place. Zheng Chu asked Su Mang confusedly, "Isn't your mother deceased? How could there be an old lady at her doorstep?" Su Mang's expression changed, and both of them rushed home.

The two rushed home to see Zheng Chu's mother and Chen Jiaming's mother arguing at the door. It turned out that Zheng Chu's mother knew Chen Jiaming's mother had come back from abroad to look for her daughter-in-law. She casually asked if it was so open abroad that women could remarry even while pregnant. Chen Jiaming's mother didn't understand why divorced women couldn't find love again.

When Su Mang and Zheng Chu returned, Zheng Chu's mother asked Zheng Chu with a horrified expression, "So Su Mang is the daughter-in-law Chen Jiaming's mother was talking about!" Zheng Chu and Su Mang quickly pulled the two elders back into their respective homes. Zheng Chu's mother was about to chase Zheng Chu, incessantly complaining about Su Mang.

Zheng Chu only told his mother one sentence: he was determined to be with Su Mang, and nothing she said would change that. At Su Mang's home, Chen Jiaming's mother was concerned about Su Mang's baby. She told Su Mang that she had calculated the time, and Su Mang must have been pregnant before she and Chen Jiaming divorced. " So, this child is Jiaming's, right?"

Su Mang looked at Chen Jiaming's mother, who was full of expectation, and could only tell her that the child was really not Chen Jiaming's. Chen Jiaming's mother, however, said she didn't believe it. Just then, Chen Jiaming called. He shamelessly told Su Mang that his mother had no relatives or friends in Shanghai. He also informed Su Mang that his mother should live at her house until she repaid the money. Su Mang was so angry she was speechless.

Su Mang picked up her bag, closed the door, and left. Outside, she met Zheng Chu, who had also been thoroughly questioned by his mother. Both of them left, looking tired. On the day of Su Mang's prenatal check-up, Fei Yi insisted on accompanying her. Su Mang couldn't refuse, so she went along with Fei Yi. At the hospital, Su Mang got the film. Fei Yi asked Su Mang about the results.

Su Mang looked at the baby's ultrasound photos and excitedly introduced them. But then she suddenly realized there was no sound beside her for a long time. She looked at Fei Yi's strange expression. Fei Yi said with a wooden face, "You kept calling me Zheng Chu just now." Su Mang froze for a few seconds, then forced out an awkward smile and said, "You must have heard wrong," and quickly left.

Fei Yi looked at Su Mang's stubborn denial and sighed. Tang Guoguo went to see her father, accompanied by Su Chang. She questioned her father why he did this, stating that such actions were not helping her but rather undermining all her efforts during this period. Tang Guoguo said word by word that this time she wanted to stand up on her own. Her father was very happy with his daughter's growth and expressed that he understood her self-esteem.

After discussing Tang Guoguo's matter, her father warned Su Chang that he had told him not to associate with his daughter. Hearing this, Tang Guoguo looked at her father without hesitation and righteously declared that she had already said Su Chang was her boyfriend. With that, Tang Guoguo pulled the surprised Su Chang and left her father's office. After leaving her father's office, Tang Guoguo pulled Su Chang and drank continuously until she was unconscious.

Su Chang looked at Tang Guoguo with melancholy. Tony rushed over and told Su Chang that Tang Guoguo had strong self-esteem and definitely couldn't handle this. He told Su Chang that he had been busy with something for the past two days. Su Chang questioned him, and Tony pulled out the application form for 'The Voice of China'. Su Chang was unsure if Tang Guoguo would agree.

Tony looked at Tang Guoguo, who was drunk and slumped on the table, and firmly said this was the best opportunity to prove her strength, and she would agree. The next morning, Su Mang still had to go to the hospital for a Down syndrome screening. Fei Yi came to pick up Su Mang for the hospital but met Chen Jiaming and his mother.

Fei Yi entered with a sneer, saying he had seen many shameless people, but never anyone so brazen. Without waiting for them to speak, Fei Yi picked up his phone and took a rapid series of photos of Chen Jiaming and his mother. Chen Jiaming asked in horror what he was doing.

Fei Yi smiled and said he was taking souvenir photos, as such bizarre people were once in a blue moon, and he would post them online later to attract clicks. Chen Jiaming's mother's face flushed hot from Fei Yi's words. She turned around, went into the house to get her luggage, and was about to leave. Chen Jiaming tried to stop her. His mother said guiltily that they had already wronged Su Mang and shouldn't go too far.

As she left, Chen Jiaming's mother told Su Mang that she would wait for the child to be born for an explanation. Chen Jiaming also quickly got up to chase his mother. Su Mang didn't expect the matter to be resolved so simply. She was very grateful to Fei Yi. Fei Yi took Su Mang out to the hospital, and they were coincidentally seen by Zheng Chu's mother. Zheng Chu's mother whispered to Zheng Chu about Su Mang's character.

Zheng Chu didn't say a word, frowned, and turned to leave. When Su Mang returned to the company, she learned that Zheng Chu had already gone to the frontline of the 'Ai Mei Zhi Lv' event. The flags of the 'Ai Mei Zhi Lv' event fluttered in the wind. The reality show event was very successfully planned, and Zheng Meiling was very satisfied.

It was only during her conversation with Zheng Chu that she learned the idea for this case came from Su Mang, which made her admire Su Mang even more. Zheng Meiling could tell that Zheng Chu had been forcing a smile. Everything she had done before was hoping Zheng Chu would be happy, but now seeing him so sad, Zheng Meiling even felt somewhat unsure if what she had done for Zheng Chu before was truly right.

That evening, Yan Xiaoqiu came home from work and saw Tang Ming waiting at her doorstep. Tang Ming told Yan Xiaoqiu that she had changed her phone number and disappeared, so he could only use the dumbest way to find her. Tang Ming asked, puzzled, if there was some misunderstanding for Yan Xiaoqiu to suddenly ignore him, and he hoped they could talk properly.

Yan Xiaoqiu told Tang Ming that she had overheard his conversation with Chen Shanshan in Lijiang, knowing they were boyfriend and girlfriend, so Tang Ming was now her brother-in-law. Tang Ming quickly explained to Yan Xiaoqiu that his relationship with Chen Shanshan as boyfriend and girlfriend was merely a pretense to protect Chen Shanshan from harassment.

Tang Ming also told Yan Xiaoqiu that he had actually known a long time ago from Zheng Chu that she and Chen Shanshan were biological sisters. Yan Xiaoqiu gave a bitter smile, asking if she was ridiculous. Tang Ming looked at Yan Xiaoqiu affectionately, his eyes full of love, and said that he thought she was even cuter. Su Mang was on the phone, trying to raise money, in the stairwell corner of the company.

After the call, Su Mang took a deep breath and was about to turn and leave when she saw Zheng Chu standing behind her. Zheng Chu directly asked Su Mang what trouble she was in and that he wanted to help her. Su Mang retorted to Zheng Chu, asking if his family agreed to him helping her. She said she had already caused his family to misunderstand, and she didn't want the misunderstanding to grow bigger.

Su Mang coldly stated that she would handle her own affairs and did not want to involve others. After Su Mang finished speaking, she left. Zheng Chu stood rooted to the spot, looking at Su Mang's slender back with a heavy heart, feeling both pained and helpless. For the past two days, Su Mang had been continuously receiving debt collection calls. A bank came to Su Mang to discuss business.

As soon as Su Mang heard the word 'bank', she instinctively told her assistant she was unavailable. Fei Yi came to Su Mang and asked her why she wasn't meeting the bank manager who came to discuss cooperation. Su Mang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was about business. Before Fei Yi came in, he had heard Su Mang calling a real estate agent to sell her house.

Fei Yi kindly expressed concern for Su Mang, but Su Mang still stubbornly denied having any recent troubles. Looking at this stubborn woman, Fei Yi still felt a pang of sadness. Just as Fei Yi was about to leave, Su Mang suddenly fainted. Fei Yi took Su Mang to the hospital. The doctor reminded Su Mang that as a pregnant woman, she couldn't skip breakfast, as it could easily lead to hypoglycemia.

The doctor suggested she be hospitalized for two days of observation, but Su Mang couldn't stand staying and requested to be discharged. As she was speaking, Zheng Chu rushed over, looking anxious, and quickly asked Su Mang if she was alright. Su Mang's eyes reddened, and she faintly said, "Thank you for your concern," then turned to Fei Yi and asked if he could take her back.

Fei Yi didn't say much seeing Su Mang in this state, and helped her out of the ward. Zheng Chu stood in place, feeling disappointed. On the way back, Fei Yi didn't take Su Mang back to the company but drove towards Su Mang's home. Fei Yi told Su Mang that he had arranged a week's leave for her so she could rest well at home during this week. Su Mang, upon hearing this, did not thank him.

Instead, she questioned Fei Yi with sharp words, asking why he was making decisions for her. She said their relationship was merely colleagues, and he had no right to interfere in her life, and she didn't need anyone to pity her. Fei Yi felt very sad hearing this. He confessed in a deep voice that he simply liked her. He knew he couldn't enter Su Mang's heart right now, but he asked Su Mang not to reject him.

Su Mang remained silent. Su Mang arranged to have a meal with Yan Xiaoqiu. At the dinner table, Yan Xiaoqiu noticed that Su Mang had been looking very haggard and her mental state was poor. Su Mang, with a worried frown, told Yan Xiaoqiu that her ex-husband had returned, and things were indeed too much. Su Mang saw Yan Xiaoqiu looking radiant and teased her, asking if she was with Tang Ming.

Yan Xiaoqiu shyly told Su Mang that Tang Ming had explained his situation with Chen Shanshan to her. Su Mang was happy for Yan Xiaoqiu. During their conversation, Yan Xiaoqiu gathered that Su Mang seemed to be considering not having the child. After parting ways with Su Mang, Yan Xiaoqiu quickly called Zheng Chu to tell him about this. Yan Xiaoqiu said she knew that Zheng Chu and Su Mang had just separated.

Zheng Chu thanked Yan Xiaoqiu for calling him and also told her that he and Su Mang had not separated, and would never separate. In the morning, Zheng Chu made breakfast for Su Mang, but Su Mang didn't answer the door no matter how he knocked. Zheng Chu had no choice but to go through the window. He climbed in through the window. Su Mang saw him, grabbed a broom, and tried to drive Zheng Chu out.

As a result, Zheng Chu almost fell out of the window, which frightened Su Mang. She quickly pulled Zheng Chu back in. Su Mang was subconsciously worried if Zheng Chu was hurt. Zheng Chu looked at Su Mang's worried expression and finally tasted a little sweetness in his heart. He knew that Su Mang was so anxious about his safety because she still cared for him.

Zheng Chu saw Su Mang eating plain boiled noodles at home and couldn't help but scold her. Zheng Chu brought the breakfast he had carefully prepared to Su Mang. Su Mang refused to eat anything and, with an emotional breakdown, tugged at Zheng Chu, telling him to leave. Su Mang frantically pushed Zheng Chu away. Zheng Chu looked at Su Mang like this, feeling immense heartache. He abruptly pulled Su Mang into his arms, letting her hit him.

No matter how Su Mang cried and yelled, Zheng Chu said nothing, just held her tightly. Su Mang finally stopped struggling and cried aloud in Zheng Chu's arms. Time passed by second by second, and the sunlight streamed through the curtains, falling upon the two of them. Zheng Chu's heart was filled only with heartache, heartache. The next day, Su Mang went to work and saw Chen Jiaming sitting in her office.

Chen Jiaming immediately asked Su Mang for five million. Su Mang was already too tired to argue. Chen Jiaming begged Su Mang, saying that Monday was the repayment date, and if he couldn't repay, he would go to jail. Chen Jiaming promised this was the last time he would ask Su Mang for help. Su Mang asked him for a little more time. After Chen Jiaming left, Fei Yi came to Su Mang's office.

He put his savings on a card and gave it to Su Mang. Su Mang was very grateful for Fei Yi's kindness, but out of her remaining bit of self-esteem, Su Mang still refused Fei Yi's offer. Fei Yi expressed understanding. He told Su Mang to come to him anytime if she needed anything. Chen Jiaming ran into Zheng Chu in the elevator. Zheng Chu invited him to the coffee shop downstairs.

After they finished talking, Zheng Chu told Chen Jiaming that he would repay him the five million, but it wasn't a small amount, and he needed time. Zheng Chu asked Chen Jiaming if he would return to the UK after getting the money. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiaming replied with a shameless look that it wasn't necessarily so. Zheng Chu suppressed the urge to hit him. After Chen Jiaming left, Zheng Chu called Su Chang.

Zheng Chu told Su Chang about Chen Jiaming forcing Su Mang to repay her debt. Su Chang felt guilty for not being able to protect his sister, and he wanted to think of a solution with Zheng Chu. That evening, Zheng Chu got the key to Su Mang's house from Su Chang. He was worried about Su Mang, so he secretly entered her house after she had fallen asleep.

The worries of these past few days always gave Su Mang nightmares. Zheng Chu looked at Su Mang, and his heart ached. Su Mang, not sleeping soundly, woke up and saw Zheng Chu, startled. Without a word, she drove Zheng Chu out of her house. In the morning, Zheng Chu caught up with Su Mang's car, wanting to explain to her that he only entered her bedroom because he was worried about her.

At this moment, Su Mang was like a hedgehog, putting up all her protective spines, furiously rejecting anyone's approach. Zheng Chu consulted an expert, who told him that based on his description, the pregnant woman's abnormal behavior at this time might be due to gestational depression. Zheng Chu was worried. Zheng Chu asked Zheng Meiling for help in lending him 5 million yuan. Zheng Meiling was not surprised by Zheng Chu's sudden request for money.

It turned out that Zheng Meiling already knew that Su Mang had been raising money recently, even to the point of selling her car and house. Zheng Meiling told Zheng Chu that with Su Mang's personality, she would not accept the money. Zheng Chu anxiously asked his aunt to think of another solution. Zheng Chu said that Su Mang had been under too much stress these past few days, even feeling a bit depressed.

Zheng Meiling looked at Zheng Chu and seriously said that she could be the buyer, purchasing Su Mang's house outright. However, Zheng Chu must take over the Aimei Group. Hearing this, Zheng Chu hesitated. Zheng Meiling gave Zheng Chu time, telling him to go back and think it through, as this was their only solution now. Zheng Chu followed Su Mang closely the whole way, fearing any mishap.

Su Mang got out of the car to walk around, and Zheng Chu followed behind, watching her back. Finally, he made up his mind to call his aunt. He agreed to Zheng Meiling's previous proposal that he would take over the Aimei Group and hoped his aunt could buy Su Mang's house as soon as possible. As soon as Su Mang got home, she received a call from a buyer.

The other party agreed to buy Su Mang's house outright at a set price. Su Mang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Chu, hearing Su Mang on the phone, returned to his own home, leaning weakly against the wall, with a complex expression. Chen Shanshan began to approach Tang Ming's mother. She accompanied Tang Ming's mother shopping, making her very happy.

Tang Ming finally made up his mind to call Chen Shanshan, telling her that he could no longer pretend to be her boyfriend. Chen Shanshan anxiously asked if she had done something wrong, or if Tang Ming had someone he liked. Tang Ming honestly replied to Chen Shanshan that the person he liked was Yan Xiaoqiu.

The reason he decided to make things clear to Chen Shanshan was that he didn't want to affect the relationship between the two sisters because of himself. Hearing the name Yan Xiaoqiu, Chen Shanshan's hatred surged. She secretly told herself that she would not let them get what they wanted. Tang Ming meticulously arranged a surprise for Yan Xiaoqiu at the old bar. He planned to formally confess his feelings to Yan Xiaoqiu today.

After everything was ready, Tang Ming waited nervously and happily. Time slowly passed. Tang Ming called Yan Xiaoqiu, who was already at the bar entrance. Tang Ming sat in his seat, his eyes full of anticipation, waiting for his beloved to arrive. Suddenly, Chen Shanshan called Tang Ming. In the call, Chen Shanshan threatened Tang Ming, saying that if she didn't see him now, she would kill herself. Tang Ming was surprised. Just then, Yan Xiaoqiu walked in.

Tang Ming hurriedly told Yan Xiaoqiu that Chen Shanshan was going to commit suicide. After saying that, Tang Ming quickly left. Yan Xiaoqiu stood stunned for two seconds before quickly turning and rushing after him. Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu arrived at Chen Shanshan's house. At this moment, Chen Shanshan was standing on the edge of the rooftop, one more step and she would fall. This scene terrified Yan Xiaoqiu, making her face turn pale.

Tang Ming nervously calmed Chen Shanshan's emotions, asking her to come down so they could talk properly. Chen Shanshan feigned a dazed look and said she wasn't stupid. If she came down, Tang Ming and Yan Xiaoqiu would be together, and she would have no say. Yan Xiaoqiu appeased Chen Shanshan, saying that ever since they were young, whatever Chen Shanshan wanted, she would give to her. Now, as long as Chen Shanshan came down, she would agree to anything.

Chen Shanshan seized the opportunity to tell Yan Xiaoqiu to leave Tang Ming, to leave him forever. Yan Xiaoqiu agreed to Chen Shanshan. Tang Ming looked at Yan Xiaoqiu in disbelief, but Yan Xiaoqiu only stared intently at Chen Shanshan, avoiding Tang Ming's gaze. Seeing Yan Xiaoqiu agree, Chen Shanshan walked down from the rooftop. When Yan Xiaoqiu saw Chen Shanshan was safe, she told her expressionlessly to remember her promise and cherish her life.

After saying this, Yan Xiaoqiu left without looking back. Tang Ming told Chen Shanshan that love forced by threatening death would not last. Chen Shanshan disbelievingly asked if his earlier nervousness for her didn't prove that Tang Ming liked her. Tang Ming didn't want to explain to Chen Shanshan, turned around, and went to chase Yan Xiaoqiu. Behind him, Chen Shanshan's expression was twisted as she secretly thought, "I will make you stay by my side forever."

Tang Ming caught up with Yan Xiaoqiu. He tightly gripped Yan Xiaoqiu's arm, begging her not to leave. Yan Xiaoqiu lowered her head, trying not to look into Tang Ming's eyes, and said that she only had Chen Shanshan as a sister, and Tang Ming's nervousness for Chen Shanshan just now also showed that she was in his heart. So, he should love Chen Shanshan well and give her his share of love too.

Tang Ming eagerly explained that he was a doctor, and he would be nervous if anyone tried to commit suicide. Yan Xiaoqiu cruelly pushed Tang Ming's hand away, leaving only the words, "Nothing matters anymore, Tang Ming, don't look for me again," and resolutely left. Tang Ming watched Yan Xiaoqiu's departing back. His confession had not yet been spoken, but he was about to lose the one he loved.

Su Chang decided to sell his magic club to help Su Mang overcome her difficulties. Tang Guoguo accompanied Su Chang, looking around the magic club with lingering affection. Tang Guoguo tenderly asked Su Chang if he really had to sell it. Su Chang smiled and said, "My sister has been looking out for me since I was a child. Now that I'm grown up, it's time for me to protect her."

"Is this magic club my only treasure, and my most valuable possession?" Tang Guoguo playfully chided, "Am I not your treasure?" Su Chang put his hand on Tang Guoguo's shoulder, his eyes firm, and said, "I'm a man, I need to stand tall and firm." Tang Guoguo looked at Su Chang, her eyes filled with admiration.

Su Chang came to find Su Mang and saw that everything in her house was already packed, even the sofa was covered with a white cloth. Su Chang was surprised. Su Mang told Su Chang that she no longer opposed him and Tang Guoguo. Su Chang, with a sense of responsibility, told Su Mang to buy the house back, saying he would figure out the money.

Su Mang helplessly said that if she had any other way, she wouldn't sell the house. She might have to temporarily live at the magic club. Su Chang stammered that to raise money, he had already sold the magic club. Su Mang felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She insisted that Su Chang buy the magic club back.

Su Chang quickly put on a cheerful face and comforted Su Mang, saying that his skills were still there, and he could earn it back with a few magic shows in minutes. Su Mang broke into a smile through her tears. Chen Jiaming called Su Mang asking for money. Su Mang told him to wait, saying she would be there soon. Su Chang wanted to go with her but was refused by Su Mang.

After Su Mang left, Zheng Chu returned home. Su Chang told Zheng Chu that his sister had gone to give Chen Jiaming money. Zheng Chu was worried and decided to chase after her. Before leaving, he told Su Chang to tell Su Mang when she returned that the person who bought the house said she could stay there temporarily and didn't need to rush to move out.

Su Chang understood that for the house to find a buyer so smoothly, Zheng Chu must have been helping Su Mang behind the scenes. Zheng Chu only told Su Chang that his aunt bought the house. Su Mang arrived at the agreed location. Chen Jiaming was still not satisfied after getting the money; he wanted Su Mang to remarry him. Su Mang found such a scoundrel utterly unreasonable. Not wanting to waste any more words, she turned to leave.

However, Chen's mother appeared, forcefully pulling Su Mang and demanding she return to England with her for a DNA test for the child in her womb. Chen Jiaming told his mother that the child could not be his, but Chen's mother refused to believe it. Su Mang had truly had enough of this mother and son. When Chen's mother tried to pull Su Mang again, Zheng Chu rushed over and protected Su Mang behind him.

Chen Jiaming threatened that Su Mang had better remarry him, otherwise, if he wasn't happy, he wouldn't let Su Mang be happy either. Zheng Chu could no longer tolerate it. He stepped forward and punched Chen Jiaming hard. Chen Jiaming cried out in pain. Shamelessly, he told Zheng Chu that Su Mang's child was conceived with purchased sperm, and even she didn't know who the child's father was. Su Mang wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Zheng Chu was shocked after hearing this. Chen Jiaming looked at Zheng Chu's reaction and triumphantly told Su Mang that originally, since she had settled his debt, he wanted to tell her a secret, but now he didn't want to. He added that given Su Mang's tendency to hide from problems, she wouldn't be able to live in China either. He would wait for her in England. Su Mang sped down the road in her car.

Zheng Chu chased frantically behind her on a bicycle. Su Mang suddenly saw Zheng Chu flip over and fall to the ground in her rearview mirror. She quickly stopped the car and ran over. Su Mang scolded Zheng Chu, asking if he had a death wish. Zheng Chu embraced Su Mang.

Su Mang hysterically shouted, asking if Zheng Chu had deliberately fallen, insisting that her life or death had nothing to do with him, that she didn't even know who the child's father was. She added that Zheng Meiling made her choose between Zheng Chu and her future, and she chose her future, claiming she was just such a woman. Zheng Chu suddenly kissed Su Mang, holding her tightly.

He told Su Mang that he simply didn't believe that she left him because of his aunt's conditions. He asked what he needed to do to make Su Mang believe that he was willing to be the child's father, even if they only had this one child in the future, he was willing. Tears welled up in Su Mang's eyes. She looked back at Zheng Chu with deep affection.

However, the words of Zheng's father and Zheng Meiling suddenly echoed in her mind, suppressing the love in Su Mang's heart once again. The attachment in Su Mang's eyes gradually faded as she said, "I don't believe Zheng Chu would love my child as much as a biological child. I am a mother. Between Zheng Chu and my child, I love my child more." After saying this, Su Mang walked towards her car without looking back. Zheng Chu paused for a moment behind her, then shouted at Su Mang, "Su Mang, I won't let you go!" Su Mang, who had turned away, was already in tears.

Tang Guoguo was nervous about participating in the competition. She came to the kennel to play with Kele. Su Chang found Tang Guoguo, and with Su Chang's encouragement, Tang Guoguo decided to give it her all. Tony and Su Chang accompanied Tang Guoguo to the company. To their surprise, Tang Guoguo's fan group was waiting in front of the company building to cheer for her and encourage her. Tang Guoguo was deeply moved; she knew she wasn't fighting alone.

Even if she only had one fan, she would do her best for them and make them proud. Su Mang returned home. The harsh words she had spoken to Zheng Chu during the day replayed in her mind repeatedly. Su Mang saw a note on the table that read, "You jump, I jump, Mr chu." Just then, Su Chang called. Su Mang recognized the messy handwriting and knew it was Su Chang who wrote it.

Su Chang told her that the buyer was going abroad and wouldn't be living there for now, allowing Su Mang to continue staying for a while. Su Mang asked, confused, why someone would buy a house if they were going abroad. Su Chang quickly covered up, saying, "Who knows what rich people think?" Su Mang didn't press further.

Su Mang earnestly advised Su Chang that since he had made up his mind, he should be well with Tang Guoguo, and as her elder sister, she supported the two of them. Su Chang found Su Mang's demeanor a bit strange. Zheng Meiling video-called Zheng Chu, asking him when he would resign. Only if he accepted Aimei could she feel at ease returning to treat her illness. Zheng Chu promised his aunt that he would resign tomorrow.

Su Chang called Zheng Chu, feeling that Su Mang's conversations with him these past two days sounded like she was making final arrangements. Zheng Chu knew that Su Mang wouldn't do anything reckless for the sake of the child. In the evening, Zheng Chu prepared a meal for Su Mang, placed it at her door, knocked, and then left.

Su Mang opened the door, saw the insulated lunchbox on the ground, looked up at the tightly closed door opposite hers, and her expression was forlorn. Su Mang took the lunchbox home and spoke with Cai Ling while eating. Su Mang told Cai Ling that she was returning to England and would try to forget everything that happened in China as soon as possible.

Cai Ling sighed, saying that Chen Jiaming had indeed said one thing correctly: Su Mang truly had a personality that fled whenever she encountered difficulties. Cai Ling told Su Mang that she would help her arrange the relevant matters; Su Mang just needed to complete her work handover. Su Mang ate the meal Zheng Chu had prepared for her bite by bite, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Zheng Chu was at home, teaching Bojue repeatedly to say, "Su Mang, Zheng Chu loves you. Su Mang, Zheng Chu loves you." Su Mang opened the window, and Bojue flew in. Hearing Bojue mimic the words, Su Mang choked back sobs. She cried, saying, "Fool, you will meet someone better. I'm just a passerby in his life." As a result, when Bojue returned home, he only remembered the two words "Fool."

Zheng Chu secretly prepared a pair of shoes for Su Mang that she had admired a long time ago. The next day, Fei Yi came to Su Mang's office. Fei Yi truly couldn't stand seeing Su Mang suppressing herself like this; he suggested that Su Mang should go out for a walk and clear her mind. As they were talking, Zheng Chu entered expressionlessly.

Su Mang deliberately said coldly that Aimei Group's trip was well done, and she would consult with the company to give him a raise and promotion. Zheng Chu placed his resignation letter in front of Su Mang. Su Mang asked for the reason. Zheng Chu stared at Su Mang and said, "I no longer have a reason to stay."

Su Mang deliberately evaded, saying she had forgotten that Zheng Chu was about to become the successor of Aimei Group and naturally wouldn't need to gain experience in a small place like MG. Zheng Chu smiled indifferently and said, "Think whatever you like." Zheng Chu said that if she hadn't prevented him from resigning back then, perhaps the outcome would be different now.

Su Mang pretended to be calm and said, "Take the resignation letter to Human Resources; you don't need to give it to me. I'll also be leaving soon." Zheng Chu asked in surprise where she was going. Su Mang feigned nonchalance, saying she would follow President Fei's advice and go on vacation. Fei Yi was pleasantly surprised and said he could accompany her. Su Mang cut him off, telling Zheng Chu to go say goodbye to his colleagues.

Before leaving, Zheng Chu whispered to President Fei, "I will accompany my woman." Zheng Chu reluctantly bid farewell to everyone, packed his belongings, and stood quietly outside Su Mang's office. Su Mang knew Zheng Chu was watching her there; she forced herself not to look at him, maintaining an indifferent expression. Zheng Chu gazed at Su Mang with deep affection, recalling all the little moments they had shared along the way.

Zheng Chu knew all of this woman's strength, vulnerability, endurance, and charm. Zheng Chu turned and left gracefully. Su Mang watched Zheng Chu's retreating back, tears quietly falling. Downstairs, Zheng Chu ran into Su Chang and Tang Guoguo strolling. Su Chang told Zheng Chu that he would take care of the matter between Zheng Chu and his sister.

Zheng Chu advised them that Su Mang might be on vacation for a while and asked them to spend more time with Su Mang during this period. Su Mang told Su Chang and Tang Guoguo that she had decided to return to England. Both Su Chang and Tang Guoguo insisted that Su Mang at least stay until after her birthday.

Su Chang and Tang Guoguo decided that they would even tie Zheng Chu up and bring him there when the time came. Zheng Chu and Tang Ming, two disheartened men, sweated profusely at the boxing gym until they collapsed onto the ring. After boxing, the two went for a drink. Tang Ming told Zheng Chu about what had happened between him, Yan Xiaoqiu, and Chen Shanshan these past few days. Zheng Chu found it incredible.

He asked Tang Ming what he had done to Chen Shanshan that would make her attempt suicide for him. Tang Ming wistfully said that he and Chen Shanshan were just friends and he had been ready to confess to Yan Xiaoqiu, but now he couldn't even contact Yan Xiaoqiu. Zheng Chu scornfully told Tang Ming that he clearly knew Chen Shanshan liked him, yet he couldn't distinguish the boundary between friends and lovers.

His constant hesitation was the greatest harm to the two sisters. Tang Ming fell silent for a moment, as if he had understood something, then raised his glass and shouted that he would go find Yan Xiaoqiu tomorrow to complete the confession from that day. The two brothers clinked glasses and drank heartily, soon falling drunk on the table. Chen Shanshan called Tang Ming. Zheng Chu heard it and instinctively picked up the phone.

Drowsily, Zheng Chu mistook Chen Shanshan's voice for Yan Xiaoqiu's and told Yan Xiaoqiu that Tang Ming was going to confess to her tomorrow and would chase her to the ends of the earth. Hatred surged in Chen Shanshan's heart. She got the address from Zheng Chu and decided to seize this opportunity. Chen Shanshan brought Tang Ming back to her home. She deliberately called Yan Xiaoqiu, asking her to come to her house tomorrow no matter what.

Chen Shanshan told Yan Xiaoqiu the password to the front door, telling her to let herself in tomorrow. The bar owner called Su Mang, telling her that Zheng Chu was drunk and unconscious at his bar. Her number was the most frequently dialed in Zheng Chu's phone, so he wanted Su Mang to pick him up.

Su Mang hung up the phone, hesitated, but still called Zheng Meiling, telling her that Zheng Chu was drunk and hoping Zheng Meiling could pick him up. Su Mang knew that since she had decided to completely break up with Zheng Chu, she should do it cleanly. However, knowing what to do and actually doing it were two different things. In the morning, Zheng Chu still placed the lunchbox at Su Mang's door, knocked, and then left.

Su Mang opened the door, looked at the lunchbox on the ground, and remained silent. The next day, Zheng Meiling met with Su Mang. She told Su Mang that she was returning to England. Su Mang promised that she would also be leaving soon and therefore would not have anything more with Zheng Chu. Zheng Meiling also opened up, telling Su Mang that, in fact, without this child, she would not have obstructed her and Zheng Chu. Su Mang smiled faintly, saying that she would not give up this child.

Early morning, with faint sunlight. Although Yan Xiaoqiu didn't know why Chen Shanshan insisted on her coming today during their call last night, since she had decided to leave, she still wanted to bravely give Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan her blessings. Yan Xiaoqiu entered Chen Shanshan's house, and the scene before her left her completely dumbfounded. On Chen Shanshan's bedroom bed, Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan were naked and embracing tightly.

Chen Shanshan woke up, saw Yan Xiaoqiu, and feigned surprise. Tang Ming drowsily opened his eyes, only to see a stunned Yan Xiaoqiu standing before him, and Chen Shanshan lying beside him. Yan Xiaoqiu turned and ran away. Chen Shanshan went to chase Yan Xiaoqiu. Tang Ming also got up, put on his clothes, and wanted to chase Yan Xiaoqiu, but when he went out, he saw a gift box Yan Xiaoqiu had left behind.

Inside were a pair of bracelets and a note, on which she had written her blessings for Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan. Chen Shanshan caught up with Yan Xiaoqiu, but Yan Xiaoqiu didn't want to say much. She only told her that she had given up and would also leave Shanghai. After speaking, Yan Xiaoqiu left without looking back. Behind her, Chen Shanshan showed a victorious smile. Tang Ming still didn't catch up with Yan Xiaoqiu.

He returned to Chen Shanshan's house, full of doubt, and asked what exactly had happened between him and Chen Shanshan last night. Chen Shanshan put on a pitiful expression and said that she just wanted to be with him and hadn't thought about marriage yet, but what if she got pregnant because of what happened last night. . . . Tang Ming had a severe headache.

He told Chen Shanshan that he would take responsibility for her, but now he needed some time alone. Su Chang and Tang Guoguo decided to use Su Mang's birthday party as an opportunity for Zheng Chu to propose to Su Mang. Zheng Chu felt this was his best chance to win Su Mang back, so he carefully selected a diamond ring; this time, he wouldn't let Su Mang leave again.

Zheng Chu encountered Tang Ming in the underground parking lot after a meeting at Aimei. As a result, Tang Ming punched Zheng Chu without a word. Tang Ming angrily cursed Zheng Chu, asking why he didn't go check on Chen Shanshan himself, instead of "pushing himself" onto Chen Shanshan. He clearly knew that the person he liked was Yan Xiaoqiu. Zheng Chu was bewildered by Tang Ming's scolding.

Zheng Chu explained that the call he received last night was clearly from Yan Xiaoqiu, and he had even told Yan Xiaoqiu that Tang Ming was going to confess to her. However, when Zheng Chu opened Tang Ming's phone, Chen Shanshan's name was prominently displayed on the incoming call log. Zheng Chu looked at the utterly dejected Tang Ming, at a loss for what to do.

Tang Ming tightly clutched the pair of bracelets Yan Xiaoqiu had left, and large tears streamed down his cheeks. Finally, Tang Ming seemed to have made up his mind, turned around, and left. Yan Xiaoqiu accompanied Su Mang to the birthday party. Yan Xiaoqiu noticed the different atmosphere and looked at Su Mang with concern. Su Mang merely said, "If I, the protagonist, leave, how can the play continue?"

At the party, Su Chang suggested playing the game "When it's dark, please close your eyes." The lights went out, and colleagues from the tourism department projected photos of Zheng Chu and Su Mang one by one onto the big screen with slides. Su Mang was already sobbing uncontrollably when she saw them. As the game concluded, Zheng Chu was about to propose to Su Mang, but found that Su Mang had already run away.

Su Mang turned and ran out of the hall. Zheng Chu chased after her with the ring. Su Mang took Zheng Chu to the old house's exhibition hall. Zheng Chu asked doubtfully why she brought him there. Su Mang coldly said that she had fallen for him there, so let it end there too; an unblessed relationship cannot endure. Zheng Chu gave Su Mang the shoes he had meticulously prepared for her as a birthday gift.

Su Mang, suppressing her heartbreak, accepted the gift and prepared to leave. Zheng Chu suddenly knelt on one knee, took out the prepared ring, and said to Su Mang word by word, "I will let you see happiness." Su Mang steeled herself and swatted the ring out of Zheng Chu's hand, then shouted hoarsely, "I don't love him anymore, I don't!" After saying this, Su Mang left, leaving Zheng Chu stunned in place. Su Mang returned home distraught.

Su Chang was waiting for her at home. Su Mang picked up the cake on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. Su Chang couldn't stop her and could only watch Su Mang with a heavy heart. Su Mang told Su Chang that her flight back to the UK was at 6 PM tomorrow. Su Chang pleaded with Su Mang, saying that tomorrow was Tang Guoguo's "Charming Voice" competition and hoped Su Mang could go cheer her on.

Su Mang agreed. Tang Ming went to find Chen Shanshan. He questioned Chen Shanshan, "Last night, Zheng Chu told you the address because he thought the person on the phone was Yan Xiaoqiu, didn't he?" Chen Shanshan knew she couldn't hide it from Tang Ming, so she had to admit that she was worried about him and had no choice but to impersonate Yan Xiaoqiu.

Chen Shanshan deliberately said that she wouldn't force Tang Ming, and if he changed his mind, he didn't have to take responsibility for her. Tang Ming felt extremely annoyed in his heart, driving furiously on the road. Chen Shanshan, sitting in the passenger seat, was also scared. Finally, Tang Ming calmed down and decided to take Chen Shanshan home.

When Tang Ming's father heard Tang Ming say he was going to marry Chen Shanshan, he immediately became furious and firmly opposed Tang Ming's decision. When Tang Guoguo returned home and learned of Tang Ming's decision, she also opposed it along with their father. Chen Shanshan couldn't bear to listen anymore and told everyone about her intimacy with Tang Ming. Tang Ming's mother was overjoyed to hear that Chen Shanshan might be carrying Tang Ming's child.

In the end, Tang Ming's father still agreed to Tang Ming and Chen Shanshan's marriage. Only Tang Guoguo always felt that this was a scheme by Chen Shanshan, but seeing the weak Tang Ming, Tang Guoguo was helpless. Chen Shanshan was enthusiastically studying the wedding guest list and wedding dresses. Tang Ming, on the other hand, looked preoccupied. Chen Shanshan playfully asked Tang Ming for his input.

Tang Ming told Chen Shanshan that as long as she liked it, it was fine, and that he was thinking about Tang Guoguo's competition. Tang Ming gave Chen Shanshan the tickets for Tang Guoguo's competition, telling her to go cheer Tang Guoguo on if she had time. As for the guests, there was no need to be too nervous; it was just a wedding. After saying this, Tang Ming left.

Chen Shanshan angrily tore up the tickets, secretly vowing that she would make all the guests know that she, Chen Shanshan, was Tang Ming's wife, and her status was irreplaceable. Su Mang pulled Yan Xiaoqiu to ride the Ferris wheel. Yan Xiaoqiu didn't understand why Su Mang, who was so afraid of heights, would force herself to do this.

Su Mang sat in the gradually rising Ferris wheel and told Yan Xiaoqiu with a hint of nervousness that she wanted to overcome her fear of heights, just like she wanted to overcome Zheng Chu. Su Mang told Yan Xiaoqiu that she was going back to the UK. Yan Xiaoqiu was also preparing to leave Shanghai and return to Lijiang to open an inn.

Yan Xiaoqiu asked Su Mang, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Zheng Chu before you leave?" Su Mang sadly said, "No need." Su Mang lamented that Yan Xiaoqiu was too weak, which allowed Chen Shanshan to take advantage. The two "sisters in misfortune" sighed, truly feeling like kindred spirits in misery. At Tang Guoguo's competition venue, Su Chang gazed affectionately at Tang Guoguo on stage. Zheng Chu, meanwhile, searched for Su Mang's figure in the audience.

Tang Guoguo's efforts were not in vain; her unique voice finally won the approval of the judges. Zheng Chu finally saw Su Mang in the crowd, but in a blink of an eye, Su Mang was gone. Zheng Chu asked Su Chang if anything seemed wrong with Su Mang these past two days. Su Chang then realized and said, "Su Mang isn't here right now; could she have moved her flight up?" Only then did Zheng Chu learn that Su Mang had decided to leave Shanghai and return to the UK. Zheng Chu rushed to the airport frantically.

At the airport, two couples deeply in love but unable to be together found even their breakups heartbreaking. Tang Ming knew Yan Xiaoqiu was leaving Shanghai and frantically searched for her at the airport. Finally, Yan Xiaoqiu answered Tang Ming's call, only saying one sentence, "Tang Ming, goodbye." When Tang Ming called again, it went unanswered. Su Mang was in the waiting area, holding the kissing fish pillow Zheng Chu had given her.

A little girl prompted Su Mang, saying that the QR code on the fish might be a love letter. Su Mang scanned the QR code, and indeed, Zheng Chu had written a love letter. Su Mang read every word of the love letter, tears streaming down her face. All her memories with Zheng Chu replayed before her eyes.

Su Mang knew that even if she went to the ends of the earth, deep down, she would never forget Zheng Chu, because he was the person she deeply loved. But precisely because of that deep love, Su Mang understood that she had to leave. By the time Zheng Chu desperately rushed to the airport, he was still a step too late; Su Mang's flight had already departed. Zheng Chu met Tang Ming, who was equally dejected, at the airport.

The two brothers joked with each other about how both their beloved women had left on the same day. Tang Ming and Zheng Chu went for drinks. Zheng Chu received a call from Fei Yi, and pulled him along to drink with them. Fei Yi watched the two of them drinking like madmen. He pulled Zheng Chu aside, saying he was there to talk to him about Su Mang.

He said if Zheng Chu didn't go after her, then he would. At this point, Zheng Chu was so drunk that he couldn't clearly hear what Fei Yi was saying. Tang Ming drank until he vomited. In the restroom, Tang Ming received a call from Chen Shanshan. Tang Ming mockingly told Chen Shanshan, "Yan Xiaoqiu has already gone back to Lijiang, what is she still worried about?" Chen Shanshan suppressed her anger and offered to pick up Tang Ming.

Tang Ming refused, shouting that he was fine and then hung up the phone. Chen Shanshan casually tossed her phone aside. Her girlfriends nearby asked Chen Shanshan about what happened between her and Tang Ming that night. Chen Shanshan gave a wry smile and said there was nothing good. Tang Ming was blackout drunk, and the two of them hadn't done anything.

Her girlfriends comforted Chen Shanshan, saying they were getting married anyway, so why worry about not having children after marriage? But unexpectedly, Tang Ming had not hung up the phone. These words instantly sobered Tang Ming. Tang Ming's hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. He regretted missing Yan Xiaoqiu like this. The next day, at the Tang family wedding, Chen Shanshan was meticulously dressed. She wanted to make herself the center of attention today.

Although Tang's father was extremely reluctant about this marriage, given the circumstances, he could only accept it. Zheng Chu came to be Tang Ming's best man. Everything was ready, except for Tang Ming, the groom, who was late. Tang Guoguo ran onto the red carpet and told everyone, "Chen Shanshan used a trick to deceive Tang Ming into marrying her. This marriage cannot happen!" Chen Shanshan furiously denounced Tang Guoguo for going too far.

The scene instantly took everyone by surprise. Just then, Zheng Chu shouted that Tang Ming was back. Tang Ming, still in his regular clothes and with an angry expression, walked towards Chen Shanshan. Tang Ming questioned Chen Shanshan, saying he had heard her conversation with her friends last night, and knew that nothing had happened between them that night. Chen Shanshan hadn't expected her easily obtainable happiness to shatter so quickly.

Chen Shanshan pleaded for Tang Ming's forgiveness, repeatedly claiming she did it because she loved him too much. Tang Ming no longer wanted to bother with Chen Shanshan. He walked up to Tang's father and sincerely apologized to him, blaming himself for not listening to his advice. Tang's father looked at his son and just sighed. Tang Ming made up his mind and turned to leave, completely ignoring Chen Shanshan's desperate pleas behind him.

Zheng Chu grabbed Tang Ming, asking him what he planned to do. Tang Ming, with firm eyes, told him that he had decided to go to Lijiang. He was going to win Yan Xiaoqiu back. Meanwhile, in Lijiang, Yan Xiaoqiu was running an inn. Here, she befriended people from all walks of life. Her life was light and simple. Some friends from Shanghai were staying at Yan Xiaoqiu's inn. They invited Yan Xiaoqiu to climb Tiger Leaping Gorge with them.

Tiger Leaping Gorge was dangerously steep but a must-visit for mountaineering enthusiasts. Yan Xiaoqiu happily accepted. Zheng Chu video called his aunt. His aunt had been hospitalized for treatment since handing over Aimei to Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu told his aunt he wanted to go to the UK to see her. Zheng Meiling scoffed, saying she had asked him to come to the UK countless times, but he refused. Now he was voluntarily coming, what was the reason?

Zheng Chu had no choice but to tell Zheng Meiling that Su Mang had gone to the UK. Zheng Meiling went for her check-up. As she opened the door, she met Su Mang, who was also there for a gynecological exam. Although the two had been very unhappy in China, Zheng Meiling still admired Su Mang from the bottom of her heart. The reason she so strongly opposed her and Zheng Chu was partly because of the child.

A bigger reason was that she felt Su Mang was too overbearing. Zheng Meiling sincerely suggested that Su Mang find the child's father. Su Mang smiled and said that her ex-husband had been infertile, and this child was conceived with sperm she had purchased. Zheng Meiling was surprised. She sighed, saying that the sperm bank could not possibly tell her who the child's father was. Zheng Chu was alone in Su Mang's home.

He hugged his kissing fish pillow, his mind and eyes filled with images of Su Mang in this room. He couldn't forget Su Mang; his longing for her would only grow stronger. Tang Guoguo and Su Chang had found their happiness together. Tang Ming had also gone to Lijiang to pursue love. Zheng Chu opened his phone and realized that the only person he could find to drink with was Fei Yi. Zheng Chu cooked a few dishes.

Fei Yi smiled and said it was a true honor to have the CEO of Aimei Group cook for him. Fei Yi told Zheng Chu that Su Mang's heart only had him, and hoped he could go to the UK to win Su Mang back. Zheng Chu sighed in silence, saying that Su Mang hadn't even said goodbye when she left, and probably no longer had him in her heart.

Fei Yi looked at Zheng Chu, lost in his own thoughts, and advised him that the person who leaves first doesn't necessarily mean they don't love. It's because of deep love and fear of troubling the other person that they leave first. Fei Yi also reminded Zheng Chu that Aimei Group would stay put, but if a person went far away, it would be difficult to get them back. Zheng Chu fell into deep thought.

Before Tang Ming went to Lijiang, although he hated Shanshan for deceiving him, he still couldn't bear it. To prevent Shanshan from misunderstanding further, Tang Ming asked Zheng Chu, if he had time, to go and check on her. Zheng Meiling knew that Su Mang, despite her ex-husband's infertility, chose to get pregnant via sperm donation rather than abandon him. This couldn't help but add another point to Zheng Meiling's good impression of Su Mang.

Zheng Meiling deliberately asked Su Mang to stay by her side to take care of her, even calling it repayment for Zheng Chu's kindness in taking care of her domestically. Su Mang looked at the childlike Zheng Meiling, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Su Mang helplessly said, if she, a pregnant woman, stayed, who would take care of whom?

Zheng Meiling reassured her, saying that she wouldn't let her do any heavy work; she was just lonely in the hospital and wanted someone to accompany her. Su Mang had no choice but to agree. After Zheng Chu and Fei Yi finished dinner, he kept thinking about what Fei Yi had told him, but he still couldn't muster the courage to find Su Mang.

Zheng Chu recalled Tang Ming's instructions before he left, and he decided to go see Shanshan first. Tang Ming rushed to Lijiang. He apologized to Father Yan, saying that he couldn't marry Shanshan, and nothing had happened between him and Shanshan. The person he truly loved was Xiaoqiu. Tang Ming eagerly asked Father Yan where Xiaoqiu had gone.

Father Yan told Tang Ming that he was also very uneasy today; Xiaoqiu had taken tourists into the mountains, but the weather changed suddenly, there was no signal in the mountains, and she couldn't be contacted at all now. Tang Ming waited anxiously. At this moment, a sudden heavy rainstorm hit the mountains. The rain was fierce, causing a mudslide. Xiaoqiu and her fellow travelers were trapped in the mountains.

In a critical moment, Xiaoqiu used her own life to save the lives of others. The rescue team brought the tourists from the mountains to the hospital. Tang Ming frantically searched for Xiaoqiu's presence in the hospital. As a result, a tourist who had traveled with Xiaoqiu tearfully told Tang Ming that Xiaoqiu had died. Hearing this, Tang Ming immediately felt dizzy, and his world collapsed in an instant. Shanshan still went to extremes, cutting her wrist at home.

Fortunately, Zheng Chu arrived in time to take her to the hospital. When Shanshan woke up, she was still stubbornly insistent on calling Tang Ming. She wanted to make him regret choosing Xiaoqiu. Zheng Chu told Shanshan that Tang Ming and Xiaoqiu cared about her life and death because they cared about her, but if she was so self-willed, and if they no longer cared about her, her life and death would be meaningless.

Constantly hurting those who genuinely loved her with such methods would only lead to increasingly outrageous mistakes. Zheng Meiling and Su Mang chatted in the hospital room. Zheng Meiling inadvertently told Su Mang that Zheng Chu had begged her to buy her house, and it was also because of this condition that he agreed to take over the Aimei Group. Su Mang was greatly surprised. Zheng Meiling recounted her past to Su Mang.

Su Mang also didn't expect that this strong businesswoman also had her softest part deep down. Zheng Meiling told Su Mang that separating from the person she loved due to a misunderstanding was her biggest regret, and she wondered if they would ever have a chance to meet again in this life. Su Mang also opened up to Zheng Meiling, saying that if it weren't for this child, she would definitely be with Zheng Chu.

Whether he was a CEO or a travel experience designer, wherever Zheng Chu was, she would be too. But she had left so resolutely; Zheng Chu must hate her now. Zheng Meiling patted Su Mang's hand and dialed Zheng Chu for a video call. Zheng Meiling saw Zheng Chu in the hospital with Shanshan and couldn't help but frown, asking how he could be with her.

Su Mang heard Shanshan's name, her face darkened, and she took the phone for a glance. Zheng Chu just happened to see Su Mang's face and was also surprised. He asked Zheng Meiling how she could be with Su Mang. Zheng Meiling didn't answer, only pressing Zheng Chu about what was going on with Shanshan. Before Zheng Chu could explain clearly, Guoguo burst into the ward filled with anger.

Zheng Chu had no choice but to hurriedly ask his aunt to take good care of Su Mang, then he hung up the call. Guoguo furiously scolded Shanshan, saying that if it weren't for her, Xiaoqiu wouldn't have hidden in Lijiang and wouldn't have encountered the mountain flood. Now Xiaoqiu was dead; was she satisfied? Shanshan and Zheng Chu were stunned where they stood after hearing Guoguo's words. Shanshan insisted on being discharged from the hospital.

Zheng Chu thought she was still going to try and win back Tang Ming and couldn't help but angrily scold Shanshan, asking if she was going to fight for a man with a dead person. Shanshan, her face streaked with tears, hysterically said that was her own sister, and she just wanted to find her sister, even if it was just to collect her body. Shanshan eventually left. Zheng Chu's eyes were full of tears.

He was worried about Su Mang, wondering how upset she would be if she knew her good friend had died, and he couldn't lend her his shoulder when she cried. Tang Ming stood silently under the old tree at the inn, holding Xiaoqiu's ashes. It was as if every blade of grass, every tree, the sunlight, clouds, and dust had transformed into Xiaoqiu's likeness, gently smiling at him, just as she looked when he first saw her.

Shanshan returned to the inn and saw Tang Ming. She couldn't help but cry, saying that she had cut her wrist, and if it weren't for Zheng Chu, perhaps she would have gone with her sister by now. It was Tang Ming's indecisiveness, his giving her hope again and again, that killed Xiaoqiu, not the mudslide; it was Tang Ming. At this moment, Tang Ming was already in tears.

He choked out that it was his fault, that he had simultaneously hurt both sisters. Tang Ming gazed at Xiaoqiu's ashes and said he would use the rest of his life to make up for his regrets. Shanshan met Father Yan. She cried and apologized to him, admitting it was her fault. If she could start over, she would be willing to exchange everything to bring her sister back to life.

If she could start over, she would definitely choose her sister, not Tang Ming. Father Yan hugged Shanshan tightly, tears streaming down his face. Zheng Chu and Fei Yi met for boxing. Fei Yi learned about Tang Ming's situation and once again persuaded Zheng Chu, saying that no one knows whether disaster or tomorrow will come first. Weren't the two living examples of him and Tang Ming enough to make Zheng Chu gather the courage to find Su Mang? Zheng Chu finally understood that no one can control when regret will happen, and all he can do is seize the present moment.

Zheng Chu decided to go to England. Before going, he went to the old house exhibition hall and, with great effort, found the engagement ring that Su Mang had knocked off last time. This time, he was determined that no one could stop his decision to be with Su Mang again; even if the road ahead was full of hardships, he would walk alongside Su Mang.

At the airport, Zheng Chu met Guoguo, who was there to pick up Tang Ming returning from Lijiang. Tang Ming was completely disheartened at this moment. Zheng Chu landed a heavy punch on Tang Ming, saying it was on behalf of Xiaoqiu. If it weren't for his indecisiveness, his relationship with Xiaoqiu wouldn't have ended with such lifelong regret. Tang Ming told Zheng Chu and Guoguo that he had decided to leave and travel far away.

He had promised Xiaoqiu to see more scenery and climb more mountains for her. Zheng Chu said he was going to England. Tang Ming encouraged Zheng Chu to go bravely and not to be like him, left with irreparable regrets. In England, Su Mang was deeply distressed to hear about Xiaoqiu's accident. She never expected that she and her good friend would be separated forever so soon after parting ways.

When Cai Ling returned home and saw Su Mang in such pain, she hugged her and comforted her. Cai Ling consoled Su Mang, saying that she should cherish the people around her now and not wait until they were gone to regret it. As soon as Zheng Chu arrived in England, he rushed to the hospital.

He told his aunt that this time he was determined to be with Su Mang, no matter how much his parents and aunt opposed it. Zheng Meiling told Zheng Chu that she and Su Mang had met by chance at the hospital, and Su Mang hadn't visited her since their last video call. Zheng Chu immediately wanted to go look for her.

Zheng Meiling feigned anger and said, "She's truly a femme fatale, you have a lover and forget your relatives! If you're going to look for her, at least wait until my surgery is over." The next day, Zheng Meiling was about to undergo surgery and was very nervous. Her beloved suddenly came to the hospital. It turned out that Su Mang had found the writer and told him about Zheng Meiling's illness.

The two finally resolved years of misunderstanding, and Zheng Meiling's emotional knot was finally untied. Zheng Meiling earnestly told Zheng Chu that Su Mang was a good woman, a woman worth pursuing. " Go on, win back the woman you love!" Zheng Chu couldn't help but feel stumped, "England is so big, where should I look for her?"

Zheng Meiling told him, "You've already come all the way from China; if you truly care, are these few steps really a problem?" Su Mang saw Chen Jiaming drunk and slumped on a table in a restaurant. The next day, Chen Jiaming found himself at Su Mang's house. Chen Jiaming never expected that after how he treated Su Mang, she would still kindly help him. Chen Jiaming and Su Mang sat in a cafe.

He told Su Mang that he had learned through a classmate working at the hospital that she was going to buy sperm for insemination, so he asked his classmate to retrieve the sperm donor information, and Zheng Chu was in the donor list. Chen Jiaming earnestly told Su Mang that the father of her child was Zheng Chu. For a moment, Su Mang was stunned. Following that was shock, joy, and an overwhelming sweetness in her heart.

Finally, Su Mang swept away all the gloom of the past period, and tears, mixed with a happy smile, spread across her face. Su Mang called Cai Ling, telling her that Zheng Chu was the biological father of her child. Cai Ling was also shocked by the news. As they were speaking, Zheng Chu, with an urgent expression, came looking for Cai Ling to inquire about Su Mang.

Cai Ling told Su Mang on the phone that her happiness was rushing towards her and asked her to stay put. Cai Ling then told Zheng Chu what Su Mang had said, and Zheng Chu rushed out of the company, sprinting towards the direction Cai Ling had indicated. On the Thames River Bridge, the lovers finally met. Zheng Chu rushed to embrace Su Mang and, illuminated by the sunset's afterglow, passionately kissed her. Zheng Chu knelt on one knee.

This time, he was no longer acting solely on impulse; this time, he wanted to give Su Mang stable happiness. Zheng Chu tenderly said, "Our child has pulled a very long red thread for Mommy and Daddy, across oceans, a long journey. Now, nothing can stop this love." Su Mang happily extended her right hand, allowing Zheng Chu to place the long-awaited ring on her finger.

At Zheng Chu and Su Mang's wedding, Xiao Gu, in a moment of carelessness, failed to retrieve Su Mang's wedding shoes. Su Mang then took out the pair of shoes Zheng Chu had given her for her birthday. Zheng Chu smiled when he saw them. Su Mang playfully told Zheng Chu how silly he was back then. Inside the church, friends and family offered their most sincere blessings to the loving couple.

Under the pastor's witness, Su Mang and Zheng Chu vowed to love each other for a lifetime. Su Mang even playfully stepped on Zheng Chu's foot, whispering in his ear that she would "step on him" for a lifetime. Zheng Chu was truly in pain yet happy. Zheng Chu shouted, "Sun Wukong!" Su Mang loudly replied, "Grandpa is here!" Everyone burst into laughter, amused by this bickering pair. In a moment of excitement, Su Mang's water broke.

The new life interrupted the wedding, and Zheng Chu, holding his beloved—no, his two beloveds—rushed to the hospital. No one knows where life's destination lies, nor which will arrive first, tomorrow or disaster. But when you calmly look back at the path you've traveled, holding hands tightly, in this journey of love, there was tolerance, pain, understanding, sacrifice, and fulfillment. This is the best ending. The End.
