In the bar, Xia Qiange, a young man from the Xia Group, was dancing inside, with a creepy man standing behind him, trying to take advantage of him. Xia Qiange received a call and went out first. The assistant on the other side reminded him not to forget what the chairman had instructed.

Xia Qiange came to the bar counter, and the man followed him, saying he wanted to buy him a drink. Gu Chengze was mixing drinks at the bar counter and said that the drink had a problem and he would replace it for them. The man told him not to interfere, but Xia Qiange said it was just a drink and there was no problem, and then drank the drink. The man sent a message, indicating that the matter had been taken care of.

After drinking, Xia Qiange was dizzy, and Gu Chengze supported him, saying that someone had drugged him. Xia Qiange said he was just drunk. Gu Chengze had no choice but to take Xia Qiange to the hotel. Gu Chengze was about to leave when Xia Qiange's clothes accidentally caught his tie. While trying to undo it, Xia Qiange woke up and mistakenly thought he was taking advantage of him.

Xia Qiange threw up, and finally calmed down. Gu Chengze was about to leave, but Xia Qiange grabbed him and even untied Gu Chengze's tie. The next day, Xia Qiange woke up and saw Gu Chengze tied to himself. He didn't expect himself to be so wild. A group of reporters rushed in from outside and took pictures of them, and the assistant couldn't stop them.

After being secretly photographed, the news quickly came out, stating that the female CEO had a private meeting at a hotel, suspected of having a chaotic personal life. Xia Qiange felt very depressed, wondering how he had become known for having a chaotic personal life. Xia Qiange told Gu Chengze that he was not good with money and gave him a card. Gu Chengze asked what Xia Qiange meant, and Xia Qiange said that they were all adults and he wouldn't shortchange him. Once he took the money, they would be even, and the money should be enough for him to work at the bar for a year. Gu Chengze said that he wasn't like that, and Xia Qiange asked if he had a purpose for not taking the money. Gu Chengze said that they probably wouldn't see each other again in the future.

Xia Qiange received a call from his assistant, who said that Gu Chengfeng was a person with a chaotic personal life and had even been involved in a lawsuit, not a good person. Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze had a blind date and didn't expect to meet again. Xia Qiange didn't expect Gu Chengze to be like this and felt that he had to expose his true nature. Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze to drink, but he didn't expect Gu Chengze to be a heavy drinker. Xia Qiange felt that the alliance between the Gu family and the Xia family was a good thing, but he was more dominant. If they got married, she would make Gu Chengze endure it.

Gu Chengze worked at a bar, and Xia Qiange drove away several female customers. The man from before came back and thought Gu Chengze was just a bartender. Xia Qiange bought the bar and had the man kicked out.

Soon it was time for the engagement between Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze. The host asked Xia Qiange what he thought of Gu Chengze. Xia Qiange said he had never met him before and didn't know him. The host then asked Gu Chengze how he felt about Xia Qiange. Gu Chengze said that the first time he saw Xia Qiange, he was amazed.

A reporter came over and said that Xia Qiange had hooked up with another handsome guy before. The bodyguard dragged the reporter out. The host asked Gu Chengze if he wanted to confirm the engagement with Xia Qiange. Gu Chengze said it was his honor. The host then asked Xia Qiange if she wanted to confirm the engagement with Gu Chengze. Xia Qiange said she didn't want to.

Xia's father was very angry, but Xia Qiange said he wanted to be engaged to Gu's family, but he wanted to be with Gu Chengze. During the blind date, Gu Chengze admitted he was Gu Chengfeng's younger brother. Gu Chengze's father had an affair with Gu Chengfeng's mother, and now the illegitimate child was in power. Gu Chengze could only work in a bar. Xia Qiange said he could help him take back the Gu family and make him marry her.

Xia Qiange asked the host to announce the engagement quickly, and when Gu Chengze was stunned, he announced it himself and kissed Gu Chengze. Xia Qiange's brother was very angry and felt it was unacceptable. Xia Qiange said that as long as she was engaged to the Gu family, it didn't matter who she was with.

Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze when he would move in with him and when they would go to register their marriage. Gu Chengze said that this matter still needed careful consideration because, given their current relationship, it wouldn't be good for her reputation if he moved in. Xia Qiange reminded him that on the day of their engagement, he promised to marry her, and now he seemed to be going back on his word. Gu Chengze explained that he did promise, but they needed to think it through.

Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze went back home and thought it would be good for Gu Chengze to move in with him. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about others' opinions at Gu's house, and as for his own reputation, he didn't need to worry too much. Gu Chengze asked if she was really willing to sacrifice herself to achieve their goals. Xia Qiange replied that sacrifices were necessary to accomplish great things, and besides, marrying him wasn't exactly a sacrifice.

Suddenly, the man from before appeared with a group of other men and said they needed to settle the score. Xia Qiange quickly grabbed Gu Chengze's hand and they ran away. No matter where they ran, those men kept chasing them. Xia Qiange thought it would be better to hide upstairs, and Gu Chengze agreed.

After entering the house, Xia Qiange claimed it was his home. Gu Chengze tried to open the door to go out, but it wouldn't budge. Xia Qiange told Gu Chengze to take a shower and sleep on the sofa for tonight. The next day, when Xia Qiange woke up and saw Gu Chengze still there, he expressed surprise, thinking he had already left.

Gu Chengze said that Xia Qiange went to great lengths to deceive him and if he were to leave, it would be quite tactless. Gu Chengze mentioned that someone once told him not to give up when it's time to cherish, and said he wanted to take Xia Qiange to a certain place.

Gu Chengze took Xia Qiange to register their marriage, and Xia Qiange was extremely delighted. Xia Qiange brought Gu Chengze to the company and introduced him to everyone as his husband, mentioning that they had registered their marriage today. It was his first day as the CEO, and as long as they worked hard with him, he wouldn't mistreat them. However, if they violated his taboos, he wouldn't be polite to them either.

Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze returned to Gu's house, and Gu Chengfeng greeted them with sarcastic remarks. Gu Chengze stated that he didn't come to argue with him but to collect his belongings. Xia Qiange remarked that Gu Chengze was much better than some individuals with chaotic personal lives. Gu Chengfeng wanted to hit Xia Qiange but was stopped by Gu Chengze, and Gu Chengfeng expressed surprise at Gu Chengze's newfound assertiveness.

Gu Chengze moved his things over and cleaned the house with Xia Qiange. Xia Qiange mentioned that he still had something to attend to at the company and asked his assistant Yang Fan to tidy up. Yang Fan was Gu Chengze's junior in college and mentioned that she joined the Xia Corporation right after graduating. She asked Gu Chengze what he was busy with, and he replied that he was just busy with meaningless things. Gu Chengze asked Yang Fan what she thought of Xia Qiange, and she said Xia Qiange had a bit of a bad temper.

Xia Qiange couldn't sleep and kept tossing and turning in bed, wondering if Gu Chengze really had no feelings for him. Earlier, Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze about their agreement to get married and how they should act affectionately in front of others. Xia Qiange mentioned that they should hold hands when they're out in public, and if it's a formal occasion, they should link arms. Gu Chengze said that he would protect her when they're out, and he can take care of all the household chores.

Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze what they should do if someone further tested their relationship. He felt that if they wanted to deceive others, they should make it believable and asked Gu Chengze to give it a try. Gu Chengze thought that no one would pay attention to such things, and Xia Qiange found it uninteresting and simply walked away.

Xia Qiange handed the marriage agreement to Gu Chengze, stating that he was not allowed to have any relationships with other women and should not enter his personal space without permission. Gu Chengze mentioned that the house belonged to Xia Qiange, so how should they define such matters. Xia Qiange replied that it meant he couldn't enter her room, but Gu Chengze thought that in case of an emergency, he might need to enter, so Xia Qiange agreed to remove that clause. Gu Chengze also stated that Xia Qiange couldn't have any relationships with other men outside, and Xia Qiange agreed.

Xia Qiange couldn't sleep and got up, sitting in the living room. Gu Chengze also couldn't sleep and came out, and the two of them watched TV together.

The next day, Xia Qiange woke up and saw that Gu Chengze had prepared breakfast. Gu Chengze noticed that there was nothing in Xia Qiange's refrigerator, so he assumed he hadn't been eating breakfast properly and insisted that he must eat well in the future.

Xia Qiange's senior brother suddenly arrived and pulled Xia Qiange aside, saying that he had been especially miserable without her. Gu Chengze pulled Xia Qiange over and introduced himself as her husband. Xia Qiange's senior brother took Xia Qiange aside and asked why she was bringing all sorts of people into their home. Xia Qiange assured him that she had investigated and everything was fine. Her senior brother said that information only shows what a person appears to be on the surface and warned her not to be deceived by Gu Chengze's harmless appearance. Xia Qiange asked her senior brother why he had come back this time, and he said he had come to help her with a project she was working on, which made Xia Qiange happy.

Xia Qiancheng came to find Xia Qiange and questioned why certain suppliers had been replaced when they were doing well. Xia Qiange explained that she knew how much profit those suppliers were making, and now that she was back, she wouldn't let him make these small moves anymore.

Yang Fan reported work to Xia Qiange, but Xia Qiange seemed distracted and asked if there was any way to know what someone was doing without sending them a message. Yang Fan mentioned that there was still a pet monitor from when they used to have a cat. Meanwhile, Gu Chengze was at home sorting through documents when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Gu Chengze felt strange when he saw a monitor on the table. Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze what he was doing in their room, and Gu Chengze took out the agreement, saying that he had thought of something to add to it. Xia Qiange came home and was about to ask Gu Chengze when she saw him cooking in the kitchen, instantly captivated by him.

Xia Qiange offered to help, but Gu Chengze said she had worked hard all day and it was enough for him to handle it. Xia Qiange mentioned that she had always wanted to learn how to cook, so it was a good opportunity for her to learn. Gu Chengze asked her to cut the tomatoes, and they started cooking together while joking and laughing.

Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze what clauses should be added to the agreement, and coincidentally, her father sent her a message, urging her to have children early. Xia Qiange heard it and said that without both parties' consent, they couldn't proceed to the next step, such as having children. Xia Qiange assured him not to worry and said she wouldn't force him.

Xia Qiange looked at herself in the mirror and wondered if she really lacked charm. Gu Chengze went to see Gu Chengfeng and gave him some documents, asking him to return their mother's belongings. Gu Chengfeng asked Gu Chengze for another favor and informed him that the pricing information from Xia Corporation was on Xia Qiange's computer. He wanted Gu Chengze to obtain that pricing. Gu Chengze agreed, making it clear that this time he must keep his word.

Song Jie came early to pick up Xia Qiange for work, but Gu Chengze didn't let him in, saying that Xia Qiange was still getting ready in his room, and it would be inconvenient for him to come in. When Song Jie heard that Xia Qiange was in his own room, he immediately calmed down and asked if they slept in separate rooms. Xia Qiange came out and said that newlyweds couldn't be separated even for a moment, and they had slept separately for a few days because they were tired.

Gu Chengze and Song Jie competed with each other, saying that they would count to three and then let go together. As a result, both of them held on even tighter and refused to let go. In the end, they went to work together as a group of three. Song Jie took care of the paperwork for Xia Qiange, who said that she had to go to work first and asked Gu Chengze to go back home. Gu Chengze said he would go home and cook for Xia Qiange and mentioned that her hair was messy, so he helped her tidy it up. Xia Qiange asked why Gu Chengze was being so sweet today.

In Xia Qiange's office, Gu Chengze was searching for something when Yang Fan suddenly arrived, holding a USB flash drive, and asked if he was looking for it. Gu Chengze said he couldn't explain this matter to him, but he asked him to believe that he had absolutely no ulterior motives towards Xia Qiange. Yang Fan said Xia Qiange was only using Gu Chengze and didn't have genuine feelings for him, but he assured Gu Chengze that no matter what happened, he would stand by his side and be there for him.

Yang Fan grabbed Gu Chengze's hand, but Gu Chengze immediately shook it off, stating that he and Xia Qiange were doing well and he had his own reasons. After saying that, he walked away. Xia's father suddenly came to see Xia Qiange, and Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze quickly embraced each other, pretending to be affectionate.

Xia's father told them not to pretend, as he had heard everything. He knew they were sleeping in separate rooms. Xia Qiange asked him who told him that and said that sleeping in separate rooms didn't prove anything. Xia's father asked them to prove it to him and suggested they kiss. Xia's father felt it would be improper. Xia Qiange asked how they should prove it, and Xia's father said they should quickly have a chubby grandson. Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze could only say that they would try their best.

Xia Qiange, Gu Chengze, and Song Jie were drinking together. Xia Qiange kept pouring Song Jie a lot of alcohol and asked him who he had told about them sleeping in separate rooms. Song Jie said he had told Xia's father about it when he saw him a few days ago. Xia Qiange said her father didn't know about it, and Song Jie said he didn't know that he didn't know. He said he understood now that they had an arranged marriage.

Song Jie mentioned that he had pursued Xia Qiange before but didn't succeed. Xia Qiange was puzzled, and Song Jie brought up a surprise he had planned. On that occasion, Xia Qiange entered a pitch-black room, and Song Jie suddenly jumped out to surprise her, causing Xia Qiange to hit him. After telling the story, Song Jie fell asleep.

Song Jie asked Xia Qiange out and questioned why she married Gu Chengze. Xia Qiange explained that marrying Gu Chengze was purely driven by a purpose because her father had been pressuring her. Instead of marrying someone she disliked, she chose to marry someone she could get along with comfortably.

On the other hand, Yang Fan was also questioning Gu Chengze about the situation. Gu Chengze stated that he was initially unwilling, but somehow at a certain moment, he agreed.

Song Jie asked if Xia Qiange now liked Gu Chengze. Xia Qiange admitted that she couldn't figure it out herself, but she supposed she did like him. Gu Chengze had a good personality and even cooked for her. Gu Chengze expressed that marriage was sacred to him, and since they were married, he wouldn't consider divorce.

As the four of them were preparing to leave, they unexpectedly ran into each other. Yang Fan was even holding onto Gu Chengze's arm. Xia Qiange returned home extremely angry, and Gu Chengze insisted that there was nothing between him and Yang Fan. Xia Qiange argued that an arranged marriage was still a marriage, and he was not allowed to have any contact with other women. Gu Chengze reminded Xia Qiange that she also had to abide by the terms of the agreement, as it was evident that Song Jie had ulterior motives and had pursued Xia Qiange before.

The two of them quarreled, and Xia Qiange, in a fit of anger, refused to eat and ended up eating the leftovers in the fridge in the middle of the night, which gave her a stomachache. Gu Chengze brought her medicine and even cooked porridge for her. Gu Chengfeng called Gu Chengze and informed him that the crucial data was missing from the previous materials.

Xia Qiange brought Gu Chengze to the company and asked if Yang Fan knew who Gu Chengze was, stating that Gu Chengze was her lawful husband. Gu Chengze presented a guarantee letter stating that he and Yang Fan had a senior-junior relationship. Yang Fan asked if it was necessary to be so exaggerated, but Gu Chengze said that as long as Xia Qiange was happy, it was fine.

Xia Qiange had a meeting with everyone, and Gu Chengze brought water for Xia Qiange. Song Jie also brought water for Xia Qiange, but Xia Qiange chose the one brought by Gu Chengze. Gu Chengze asked if Xia Qiange needed any help, but Xia Qiange said there was nothing and asked Gu Chengze to go back first. After Gu Chengze left, Song Jie felt that Xia Qiange shouldn't have let someone from the Gu family listen to their meeting, but Xia Qiange expressed her trust in Gu Chengze.

Gu Chengze entered Xia Qiange's office and searched for something but couldn't find the remaining part. Suddenly, Yang Fan arrived, holding a folder and asked if he was looking for it. Yang Fan asked how Gu Chengze planned to repay her, and Gu Chengze said that he owed her a favor this time. Yang Fan reminded him to remember that he must not play tricks in the future.

Xia Qiange and Song Jie entered the room, and Gu Chengze quickly pulled Yang Fan to hide behind the curtain. Song Jie expressed that he always found Gu Chengze suspicious and advised Xia Qiange not to trust him too much. However, Xia Qiange insisted that she trusted Gu Chengze.

Xia Qiange stated that if Gu Chengze dared to betray him, he would make Gu Chengze suffer unbearably. Xia Qiange attended the bidding meeting, and Gu Chengfeng was also present, telling Xia Qiange not to feel too frustrated if he lost later. Xia Qiange said that it was still uncertain who would win or lose.

Xia Qiancheng said that it was Xia Qiange's fault this time. He had always said that women should not manage a company because they would definitely mismanage it. Xia Qiange mentioned that his own company was also in a mess and not well taken care of. Xia's father asked Xia Qiange for his opinion, and Xia Qiange took responsibility for the bidding failure. Xia's father asked Xia Qiange to leave the company first.

Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze were drinking together, feeling very frustrated. Xia Qiange expressed that regardless of how hard she worked before, her father never noticed her efforts. He believed that the company should be inherited by a boy. She did all this to show her father that she was capable of inheriting the company, but things had turned out like this.

Song Jie showed Xia Qiange a photo of Gu Chengze and Gu Chengfeng meeting. Xia Qiange asked where he got it, and Song Jie said it was sent by a stranger. Xia Qiange believed that it was definitely sent by Gu Chengfeng at this critical moment. Song Jie thought it didn't matter who sent it; what mattered was that Gu Chengze and Gu Chengfeng met, and the information must have been leaked by Gu Chengze. Song Jie asked Xia Qiange to take a look at the surveillance footage to find out.

Xia Qiange opened the surveillance and saw Gu Chengze looking for documents here. Xia Qiange confronted Gu Chengze with the photo, and Gu Chengze admitted that his mother left behind a necklace that was very important to him. It is now in Gu Chengfeng's hands, and he wants to retrieve it. Gu Chengfeng made a condition, which is to help him secure the Zhongxia Plaza project.

Gu Chengze explained that he received information earlier about a major capital planning to build a mall in this area, with investments and scale several times larger than theirs. This project would not be profitable, so he deliberately let Gu Chengfeng take it. Xia Qiange mentioned that he did a background check before and didn't receive such information. Gu Chengze said that if they found out, the project would be compromised, so the information had to be kept confidential.

Xia Qiange expressed that he didn't care about the project; what mattered to him was that someone deceived him. He asked if Gu Chengze's previous kindness in the office was also intentional. Gu Chengze quickly stated that all of that was genuine.

Gu Chengze went to find Gu Chengfeng to make him fulfill his promise. Gu Chengfeng said he already knew about the project and didn't expect Gu Chengze to dare deceive him. Gu Chengfeng mentioned that the necklace is with their grandfather and challenged Gu Chengze to go find him if he has the ability. Gu Chengfeng ordered his men to attack Gu Chengze, but Xia Qiange rushed over and forbade them from bullying his man. Gu Chengze protected Xia Qiange and got beaten badly. After returning home, Xia Qiange helped Gu Chengze apply medicine to his injuries.

Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze woke up and found themselves sleeping on the same bed, which startled them. Xia Qiange said that they were legally married now, so it's not a big deal, and he pulled Gu Chengze closer and kissed him.

Gu Chengze said he would go cook, but Xia Qiange insisted that he couldn't let a patient cook, so she would do it instead. Xia Qiange cooked several dishes, and Gu Chengze tasted them. He found them delicious and finished a bowl of rice but couldn't hold it and went to the bathroom.

Xia Qiange took a bite and found it particularly bad, thinking that Gu Chengze didn't have to eat it. However, Gu Chengze said that he couldn't let down his wife and the food she cooked. Xia Qiange was deeply moved.

Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze wanted to use a linen bag to beat Gu Chengfeng, but they realized that the voice was off after they finished. They opened the linen bag and surprisingly found Song Jie inside. Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze invited Song Jie to have a meal and apologized to him. Xia Qiange said she would make it up to him by introducing a girlfriend to him. Gu Chengze asked Song Jie if he still liked Xia Qiange, and Song Jie admitted that he did before, but Xia Qiange didn't have feelings for him, so he let it go.

Yang Fan came to find Gu Chengze and said she was fired for leaking information. Gu Chengze said he would go talk to Xia Qiange, but Yang Fan stopped him and admitted that it was her fault in the first place. Gu Chengze asked if there was anything he could do for her, and Yang Fan said she would let him know once she figured it out.

Xia Qiange said that everyone knows about Zhongxia Plaza, and Gu's Group cannot secure the project on their own. Now they can cooperate and share the risks together. Gu's grandfather asked Xia Qiange to state her demands, and Xia Qiange said she wants to bring someone into Gu's Group.

Gu Chengfeng said that it's not their Xia family's group, so how could they let an outsider in. Gu Chengze came over and said that he also carries the Gu surname, so he is not an outsider. Gu Chengfeng thought Gu Chengze was just an inexperienced youngster, but Gu's grandfather agreed and said that from today onwards, Gu Chengze would be the vice president of Gu's Group. Although Gu Chengfeng was very angry, he couldn't do anything about it.

Gu Chengfeng thought that if they divorced, he didn't believe Xia Qiange would still protect him. He messaged someone, feeling that it was time to reveal the truth from back then. Xia Qiange went home and took out the prenuptial agreement they signed before, saying that she no longer wanted to abide by the terms and conditions on it. She picked up a pair of scissors and cut the agreement. Gu Chengze hugged Xia Qiange, and they kissed each other.

Gu Chengze had a dream about the past. Gu Chengze's mother called and said that since he valued the illegitimate child, he shouldn't expect to see Gu Chengze again. Gu's grandfather said that Gu Chengfeng is also his son. Gu Chengze's mother became emotionally unstable, and Gu Chengze reminded her to stay safe, but she still got into a car accident.

Gu Chengze woke up with a loud shout. Xia Qiange asked if he had a nightmare, and Gu Chengze said he remembered what happened when his mother had an accident. At that time, a car suddenly came from the opposite direction, and his mother, in an attempt to avoid it, crashed into a nearby tree. He got out of the car in a daze and tried to pull his mother out, but he fainted on the ground. When he woke up, he was already in the hospital, and his mother had passed away. Xia Qiange comforted Gu Chengze, assuring him that she would always be by his side and help him reclaim what belongs to him.

Gu Chengfeng said the contract was ready. Xia Qiange looked at it and didn't find any problems. Gu Chengze mentioned that the numbers were nearly double the original amount. Xia Qiange felt that this was the only way to help Gu Chengze and signed the contract, stating that Xia Group could afford the money.

Gu's grandfather was happy when he saw the contract and said that no matter what Gu Chengze wants, he would agree. Gu Chengze mentioned that he wanted the necklace his mother left behind as a keepsake, and Gu's grandfather agreed.

Gu's grandfather said he never forgot how his mother had the accident. At that time, they had just recently married, and Gu Chengfeng's mother became pregnant, which also made him his son. Gu Chengze said it was because of Gu Chengfeng's infidelity in the marriage that led to his mother's tragedy. Gu's grandfather asked if Gu Chengze could forgive him and come back to his side. Gu Chengze said it was already too late.

Xia Qiange asked Gu Chengze why he hadn't been home recently. Gu Chengze said he was just too busy and apologized to Xia Qiange. Xia Qiange said she needed to punish him, and Gu Chengze asked how she wanted to punish him. Xia Qiange pushed Gu Chengze down onto a chair and kissed him directly.

Gu Chengfeng came to find Gu Chengze, and Gu Chengze asked if there was something they couldn't discuss at the company. Gu Chengfeng said he had underestimated Gu Chengze before and hoped that the two brothers could stand together against the enemy. Gu Chengfeng revealed that the truth behind their mother's car accident was far more cruel than he had imagined. Gu Chengze recalled the accident and how he had taken his mother out of the car and rushed her to the hospital.

Gu Chengfeng told him that the car coming from the opposite direction at that time was driven by Xia's father. Xia Qiange had fallen ill, and her father was driving her to the hospital. Her father initially wanted Xia Qiancheng to go with them, but Xia Qiange said she was in too much pain and asked her father not to worry about them and to hurry to the hospital. Her father left. Gu Chengfeng said it was hard for him to accept that his loved one didn't try to save his mother.

Gu Chengze said he didn't believe that Xia Qiange would be that kind of person, but Gu Chengfeng played a recording for him as solid evidence. Gu Chengze left in a daze and returned to the company, where he happened to see Xia Qiange and her family discussing something. He didn't know how to face them.

For Gu Chengze, marriage is sacred. Since he is married, he won't easily divorce. But now he has learned that a significant reason for his mother's death was Xia Qiange's failure to save her, and he doesn't know how to face Xia Qiange and continue this marriage.

The employees of the company were reporting the project to Xia Qiange, but he kept calling Gu Chengze and didn't know why there was no response from him all day. Xia Qiange couldn't focus on listening to the company's report and went out to find Gu Chengze. Xia Qiancheng said since Xia Qiange had left, he would report to him instead. Xia Qiange searched many places but couldn't find Gu Chengze. He was close to finding him on the most recent occasion, but still missed him.

Yang Fan came to find Gu Chengze and asked if something was bothering him recently, saying he could talk to her if there was. Gu Chengze asked her if someone very important hurt her, would she choose to forgive them. Yang Fan thought that if it was someone very important, forgiveness could be possible, but often the question is not whether to forgive but rather finding a reason to leave. Yang Fan mentioned that Gu Chengze had said he would help her, and now she wanted to become Gu Chengze's assistant.

Gu Chengze returned home, and Xia Qiange asked where he had been. Gu Chengze started packing his things to leave. Xia Qiange asked what was going on, and Gu Chengze played a recording for Xia Qiange to listen to.

Xia Qiange felt that there must be a misunderstanding in this matter and wanted to investigate it with Gu Chengze before making any conclusions. However, Gu Chengze ignored him and walked away. Xia Qiange sent many messages to Gu Chengze, but he didn't respond. Song Jie came over and asked what was going on, thinking that there must be something that couldn't be discussed properly, resulting in leaving home. Xia Qiange believed that it was because of Gu Chengze's mother that he had such a strong reaction. Song Jie believed that the most important thing now was to have a good conversation. Xia Qiange said that he also wanted to talk to Gu Chengze, but Gu Chengze simply ignored him, and there was nothing he could do. Song Jie offered an idea.

Gu Chengze came to the rooftop and saw Xia Qiange also there, with fireworks being set off in the distance. Xia Qiange informed him that Song Jie couldn't come and expressed that he felt Gu Chengze had unfairly judged himself based on a few inexplicable recordings, showing a lack of consideration. Gu Chengze stated that now the evidence was conclusive, and he didn't want to see Xia Qiange again. After saying this, Gu Chengze walked away. Xia Qiange confessed to Gu Chengze, but Gu Chengze only mentioned that they should get a divorce.

Gu Chengfeng arranged to meet Xia Qiancheng and stated that since they were getting a divorce, Xia Qiange had no reason to help Gu Chengze anymore. Song Jie mentioned that Xia Qiange was not focused on work at the moment, and it was a good opportunity for Xia Qiancheng to take over the company. The path had already been paved for him, and it was up to him how to proceed.

Xia Qiange was drinking at a bar when Gu Chengfeng approached him and said that he should have married him instead. Xia Qiange told Gu Chengfeng to leave immediately, and this angered Gu Chengfeng to the point where he wanted to hit Xia Qiange, but Gu Chengze stopped him. Gu Chengfeng claimed that Xia Qiange was originally supposed to marry him, and it was only right for him to take Xia Qiange away. Gu Chengze stated that if Gu Chengfeng dared to touch Xia Qiange again, he would make him suffer greatly. Gu Chengfeng mocked Gu Chengze, questioning how he could make him suffer in his current state. Gu Chengze ignored him and left with Xia Qiange.

Xia Qiange was drunk and asked Gu Chengze what he was thinking. He said that Gu Chengze could divorce him if he wanted, or even blame him for his mother's death, but he just wanted to know if Gu Chengze truly loved him. Gu Chengze mentioned that Song Jie would come to pick her up soon and left without answering. Song Jie came to pick up Xia Qiange, who felt that Gu Chengze didn't love him at all.

Yang Fan asked Gu Chengze why he had been neglecting her during this period and if there was something she did wrong. News broke online about issues with the Xia Group's buildings, and Xia Qiange stated that she would issue a press release blaming it all on Xia Qiancheng. She mentioned that now she was in charge of the company and would thoroughly investigate the matter.

Xia Qiange revealed that she had evidence of Xia Qiancheng's tax evasion, embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds. She gave him three months to resolve all these issues, or she would report him to the authorities.

Song Jie cooked a meal for Xia Qiange, and Xia Qiange was reminded of how Gu Chengze used to cook. He thought he had forced his brain to forget, but it turned out he couldn't deceive his own stomach. Gu Chengze has collected a lot of evidence against Grandfather Gu, but he still lacks a crucial piece, believing that the necklace might be the key. Yang Fan brought a cake and wished Gu Chengze a happy birthday. Gu Chengze mentioned that he had forgotten it was his own birthday.

Yang Fan tried to tempt Gu Chengze, but Gu Chengze remained unaffected. Yang Fan confessed that she had liked Gu Chengze for many years and asked if there was still a possibility between them. Gu Chengze stated that once he had made up his mind about someone, it wouldn't change.

Xia Qiancheng went to find Gu Chengfeng, saying that she had tried to make plans with him several times, but he always claimed to be busy, so she didn't know what else to do. Gu Chengfeng mentioned that he had already helped Xia Qiancheng a lot and that it was his own fault for reaching this point, so he wouldn't help anymore. Xia Qiancheng said she had leverage on him and that if she pushed him too hard, it wouldn't end well for either of them. Gu Chengfeng didn't care at all and stated that the evidence in his possession couldn't threaten him.

Xia Qiancheng came to find Gu Chengze, hoping he could help her because she had no other options. Gu Chengze said he couldn't help her and wanted to leave directly. Xia Qiancheng claimed that he had wrongly accused Xia Qiange regarding his mother's situation.

Xia Qiancheng stated that the recorded audio was edited. At that time, Xia's father asked Xia Qiancheng to go down and take a look. Xia Qiancheng saw Gu Chengze lying on the ground and was very scared. Just then, other people saw from afar and said they would call the police, so Xia Qiancheng quickly ran away and went back to tell them that everything was fine. Xia Qiange urged them to leave quickly.

Gu Chengze angrily punched Xia Qiancheng several times and asked why he lied. Xia Qiancheng said it was Gu Chengfeng who told him to do so. Gu Chengze questioned why he didn't try to save him. Xia Qiancheng said he was too scared, but later he also made a call to report the incident. The accident was attributed to his mother, and he was also punished.

Gu Chengze rushed back home and saw Xia Qiange packing his luggage. Xia Qiange told Gu Chengze to leave quickly and said he didn't want to see him. Why did he think he could come and go as he pleased? Xia Qiange expressed that he really disliked Gu Chengze and didn't want to see him anymore. Gu Chengze said even if she hit him and scolded him, he wouldn't leave this time. Gu Chengze apologized to Xia Qiange, confessed his love to her, and said he loved her. Xia Qiange and Gu Chengze kissed.

Xia Qiancheng arrived at a construction site that looked very desolate, with no one around. Xia Qiancheng called Xia Qiange and said he didn't want to be there, asking if she could arrange another place for him. Xia Qiange explained that until the matter was resolved, he could only stay there.

Gu Chengze and Xia Qiange went to find Gu's grandfather and presented him with evidence of his illegal activities. Gu Chengze expressed that he had done many bad things, but he didn't expect his mother had already prepared his grave. Gu's grandfather was very angry and said he was his father, how could he treat him like this. Gu's grandfather admitted his wrongdoing to Gu Chengze and his mother, asking him to spare Gu Chengfeng, after all, Gu Chengfeng was his elder brother.

Gu Chengfeng also arrived, and the police had also arrived. Gu Chengfeng picked up a vase and tried to hit Xia Qiange, but Gu Chengze blocked him. Gu Chengfeng tried to run, but he was eventually caught by the approaching police.

Gu Chengze said he already knew everything, that Xia Qiancheng's exposed secrets were all backed by Xia Qiange. Xia Qiange asked how Gu Chengze found out, and Gu Chengze said it was Song Jie who told him. Xia Qiange didn't expect that he was the biggest hypocrite. Gu Chengze said it was his turn to help him now. There was a safe password on the necklace left by his mother, which contained evidence of Gu's grandfather's crimes, as well as several properties.

Yang Fan was about to leave and asked Gu Chengze why he fell in love with Xia Qiange. Gu Chengze said Xia Qiange had disrupted his life, but at that time he felt that happiness was not only about longing and attachment, but also about pain. Xia Qiange also arrived and found Gu Chengze's words cheesy, but the two embraced each other affectionately.
