Because of Wu Kaitong's work, Wei Shijie suggested they participate in a parent-child sports day together, which took her by surprise. Meanwhile, a flight from Beijing to Macau landed, and Xu Jiajia personally came to the airport to pick up her parents, but Xu Junhao was notably absent. On the way back, Tang Wei curiously asked about her daughter’s boyfriend, surprised that she even had time for a relationship.

Xu Jiajia reassured her that they would meet him later at the hotel. Isabella recently started dating a race car mechanic. When she mentioned how European racing far surpasses that in China, Chen Jiahui couldn’t help but refute her, subtly defending Han Junhao. At that moment, Wu Kaitong arrived at the art gallery to see Chen Jiahui and was surprised to learn that Chen Jiahui was dating Han Junhao.

Not wanting Isabella to gossip too much, Chen Jiahui used a work-related excuse to leave with Wu Kaitong. Later, Han Junhao, accompanied by his team manager, Charles, personally attended the pre-race drivers' meeting to draw lots for their starting positions in the qualifying race. Before the meeting began, Han Junhao was largely ignored, forming a stark contrast to Tangben Doushen, who was surrounded by admirers.

Though Tangben Doushen did not openly provoke Han Junhao, his attitude made it clear that he didn’t regard Han Junhao as a competitor. Han Junhao worked hard to stay calm and not let his emotions get the better of him. After the meeting, Han Junhao reached out to Chen Jiahui and suggested going somewhere to unwind.

To his surprise, Chen Jiahui took him to a cemetery and began sharing stories about the lives and identities of the people behind the gravestones. She told Han Junhao that everyone lives in the shadow of death, so they should live more freely and treat life as a vast playground, without the need to achieve perfection in everything. Chen Jiahui understood how important victory was to Han Junhao but reminded him that not all endings are predetermined.

Life’s experiences, whether good or bad, are meant to be lived, and they will eventually pass. That evening, Xu Jiajia reserved a table at a restaurant. Tang Wei, Xu Jianming, and Li Meng were already seated when Xu Junhao arrived late, which annoyed Xu Jianming. Tang Wei’s first impression of Xu Junhao was decent, but Xu Jianming deliberately tested him with probing questions about his family and remained cold toward him.

Thankfully, Tang Wei kept the atmosphere lively enough to prevent things from becoming too awkward. During the meal, Xu Jianming suddenly proposed drinking, and Tang Wei, noticing his intent, skillfully defused the situation. Her ability to manage Xu Jianming’s domineering nature and need for control was something Li Meng had never dared to imagine. However, Xu Junhao accidentally revealed the upcoming wedding, which Tang Wei didn’t mind, as she was unbothered by the idea of a quick marriage.

In contrast, Xu Jianming was furious, and once back in his room, he angrily ranted that Xu Junhao wasn’t good enough for his daughter and that Xu Jiajia would regret marrying him. Because of this, Xu Jianming took the initiative to speak with Tang Wei, seeking her opinion on Xu Jiajia’s sudden marriage. Compared to Xu Jianming’s agitation, Tang Wei remained composed, expressing her preference to have an in-depth conversation with their daughter before forming any judgments.

Xu Jianming, however, complained that Tang Wei was always too preoccupied with work to notice their children, to the point where she didn’t even know Xu Jiajia was about to get married. Hearing Xu Jianming’s grievances, Tang Wei couldn’t be bothered to argue and left the room. Feeling hurt by Tang Wei’s indifferent attitude, Xu Jianming drank heavily downstairs and eventually became completely drunk. Li Meng rushed to help him back to his room.

In his drunken state, Xu Jianming revealed his long-standing feelings for Tang Wei, leaving Li Meng, his current wife, feeling like an outsider and deeply unsettled.
