Sheng Zhening escorted Xia Qian home, where they encountered Xia Qian's mother. To deter her mother from arranging more blind dates, Xia Qian quickly invited Sheng Zhening inside and introduced him as her boyfriend, claiming he had been courting her.
She boasted about his impressive background, mentioning that his family owned Evergreen Hotel and that he had chartered a yacht to take her to Iceland to see the aurora, and even gave her an unlimited credit card, which she, adhering to her mother's teachings, never used. Xia Qian urged her mother not to worry about her love life anymore. Xia Qian's mother, still somewhat suspicious, questioned Sheng Zhening about his pursuit.
Sheng Zhening, playing his role, corrected Xia Qian's earlier statement, saying he had actually been courting her for almost a year, not two months. When asked what he liked about Xia Qian, Sheng Zhening initially described her "flaws"—a bad temper, a one-track mind, acting without considering consequences, being prone to outbursts, and occasionally using petty tricks.
Xia Qian interjected, telling him not to go too far, but Sheng Zhening quickly shifted to a romantic tone, explaining that love is often inexplicable, and that despite any shortcomings, no one else could replace her. Xia Qian's mother was thoroughly convinced. As Xia Qian saw Sheng Zhening off, she thanked him for his performance.
He asked if his acting wasn't convincing enough, to which she replied he was "too good," and now her mother would pressure her to accept him. Sheng Zhening then offered to continue playing her boyfriend if she needed it, saying it didn't matter to him. Xia Qian thanked him, promising to seek his help if necessary. Sheng Zhening reflected on their recent interactions, realizing he had developed genuine feelings and wished to continue their charade.
Later that night, Qin Hebo found the cat on the roof vomiting and immediately called Fu Shuangshuang. Following her urgent advice, he rushed the cat to the pet hospital. There, Fu Shuangshuang learned that the initial diagnosis was indigestion, which she suspected was due to Qin Hebo abruptly changing the cat's food instead of gradually introducing the new brand. She explained the proper way to transition cat food to avoid such issues.
She reassured him the cat would be fine, just needing a drip for a while, and promised to write him a detailed guide on cat care tips. Qin Hebo went to buy late-night snacks, leaving Fu Shuangshuang resting on the hospital sofa. Upon his return, he found her asleep and gently covered her with his jacket, choosing not to disturb her. The following morning, he received a call from Mr. Xue, which he declined to prevent waking Fu Shuangshuang.
Before leaving, he sent her a text message, informing her about a company matter, providing his home address and the door code, and asking her to bring the cat to his place after its discharge. Following the resolution of Evergreen Hotel's credibility crisis, Qin Hebo successfully leveraged his tactics to help Lihe Capital acquire 2% of Mr. Yu's shares, increasing Lihe Capital's total stake to 5%.
During a meeting, Mr. Xue, aware that Evergreen Building No. 2, an old structure with aging infrastructure, was due for re-evaluation, saw an opportunity to exploit the situation. He suggested that if Building No. 2 caused Evergreen to lose its five-star rating, shareholders might be swayed to vote for its sale.
He noted that while Sheng Zhening was sentimental about the building, many shareholders were tired of funding its maintenance, forcing Sheng Zhening to choose between selling the building or losing shareholder support. While Sheng Zhening remained confident in Building No. 2 and insisted on normal procedures for the upcoming star rating evaluation, An An secretly contacted Xia Qian, hiring her to find the hidden star rating evaluator in the hotel.
He called Xia Qian to Building No. 2 to discuss this job, and she agreed to come immediately. Before arriving, Xia Qian made a small request, likely related to her disguise. Disguised with long hair and sunglasses, Xia Qian coincidentally shared an elevator with Sheng Zhening, who, due to her effective disguise, did not recognize her. Fu Shuangshuang took the recovered cat to Qin Hebo's apartment, finding it surprisingly devoid of personal touches.
She spent a significant part of her day tidying and decorating the sparse space, transforming it into a cozy home. Upon Qin Hebo's return, he was astonished by the warm atmosphere, a stark contrast to his formerly cold apartment. He invited Fu Shuangshuang to dinner at a Japanese restaurant, where she was eagerly anticipating his treat. Afterward, they went to a jewelry store.
Qin Hebo sought her advice on a gift for Ning Meng, describing the recipient as lively, cheerful, and light-skinned, similar to Fu Shuangshuang. Later, as they arrived at Qin Hebo's building, he gave Fu Shuangshuang a surprise gift: a cat-themed necklace.
He also received the "Tips for raising cats" from her, a detailed guide that prompted a discussion about cat psychology and the importance of companionship, where Fu Shuangshuang shared her childhood experience of her cat being given away due to scratches. Qin Hebo emphasized that the cat now had "two owners" and should not feel abandoned. In the days that followed, Sheng Zhening found himself constantly thinking of Xia Qian.
He confessed to her mother that he was dreaming of Xia Qian and seeing her everywhere, leading Xia Qian's mother to playfully diagnose him with lovesickness. She informed him that Xia Qian was away on a business trip, then offered to "help him cheat" by sharing insights into her daughter's likes and dislikes, such as her love for cherries, matcha ice cream, and corn (but not corn candy), and her habit of cleaning when angry.
She also mentioned Xia Qian enjoyed horror movies but was afraid to sleep alone afterward. Xia Qian's mother showed him childhood photos, recounting stories, including one where a six-year-old Xia Qian cried while dancing in the Children's Palace because of stage fright but still fulfilled a promise to a friend. Sheng Zhening, finding the crying photo endearing, chose it as a keepsake, despite her mother's attempts to pick a more flattering one.
Qin Hebo presented Ning Meng with a gift to lift her spirits. Instead, Ning Meng asked him for a favor, expressing her desire for a supplementary wedding vow ceremony at the hotel with only her and Zhijun present. She felt their love was incomplete without it and refused to ask her brother, citing his numerous rules and nagging.
Qin Hebo, seeing she already had a detailed plan, reluctantly agreed and promised to have Emily and the staff arrange the time and location. He then reminded her that gifts could be given at any time, not just for weddings, as long as she was happy. During her search for the hotel reviewer, Xia Qian, employing her observational skills, noticed a guest meticulously inspecting the hotel's carpet and room service, leading her to suspect he was the reviewer.
She identified his room, which was conveniently across from hers. To confirm, she enlisted An An to pose as a room service attendant and deliver lunch to the suspect's room. To their surprise, the "reviewer" was none other than Sheng Zhening himself, who was staying at the hotel to personally evaluate its services in anticipation of the official star rating. Sheng Zhening, recognizing An An despite his disguise, played along, claiming he was just helping out with lunch delivery.
An An then reported back to Xia Qian, explaining Sheng Zhening's intentions. Still disguised, Xia Qian later encountered Sheng Zhening in the elevator. Though he hinted that he saw through her disguise, she feigned innocence, maintaining her cover. An An then suggested Xia Qian try her luck finding the actual reviewer at the restaurant, which had launched new dishes, implying the reviewer might dine there.
