After the holiday break, everyone returned, and the first morning meeting was held at the hotel. Shen Xifan noticed an unusual atmosphere between Lin Yishen and Xu Xiangya—it was distinctly different from their usual sharp confrontations. Meanwhile, Fang Kexin decided to let go of her feelings for He Suye and took the initiative to talk to him about it, which left him feeling relieved.

The next morning, Shen Xifan pulled out a photo and curiously questioned Lin Yishen and Xu Xiangya about their relationship. Eventually, they had no choice but to admit that they were officially dating. It turned out that during this time, both of them had come to terms with many things and had finally confronted their true feelings. Xu Xiangya even planned to resign and find a new path in life after Shen Xifan left for her studies abroad.

At that moment, He Suye unexpectedly sent Shen Xifan a message, asking about her medicinal cuisine assignment for the day. Shen Xifan replied that her father usually did the cooking, so she had no way to submit the assignment. However, He Suye’s next response caught her off guard—he said he was looking forward to seeing her. Her heart fluttered, but since she was busy with work, she couldn’t reply right away.

That night, Shen Xifan received another message from He Suye, this time with two pictures—one showing empty beer bottles scattered on the ground and the other capturing the view from the residential complex. When Shen Xifan went to find He Suye, she saw him sitting on a bench, completely drunk. He complained that she had arrived too late and that he had already finished all the alcohol by himself.

In his drunken state, He Suye also accused Shen Xifan of being heartless, saying she had reeled him in only to let him go, showing no sense of responsibility. Shen Xifan was helpless at his words—somehow, she had become the one who played with emotions and then abandoned him. Worried that he might catch a cold, she had no choice but to personally take him home.

However, the moment He Suye closed his door, his eyes suddenly became clear—he wasn’t drunk at all. Meanwhile, Shen Xifan was left feeling unsettled by his words. The next morning, as she watched her father prepare fish soup, she couldn’t help but recall He Suye’s “fishing” comment. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she snapped a photo, sending it to He Suye as her “assignment submission.

”He Suye repeatedly looked at the photo, overjoyed, only to be teased by his grandfather, Yu Liren. While He Suye was waiting for Shen Xifan to finally put an end to the lingering issue that was Yan Heng, Yan Heng suddenly checked into the hotel. Manager Cheng Dong gathered everyone for a meeting, instructing them to ensure top-tier service and secure this high-value client.

Shen Xifan was shocked and felt a mix of emotions, but she had no choice but to focus on work. As soon as Yan Heng arrived, both Xu Xiangya and Lin Yishen could tell he was here for Shen Xifan. Yan Heng, on the other hand, claimed he was staying at Gunan Huating for a business bid at the local technology park. However, on his very first day, he made a big show of looking for Shen Xifan.

Xu Xiangya firmly refused to tell Yan Heng about Shen Xifan’s whereabouts, shutting him down without hesitation. Later, Yan Heng appeared in the hotel lobby holding a large bouquet of roses. Upon seeing this, Cheng Dong quickly sent Shen Xifan a message, urging her to come down immediately. Reluctantly, Shen Xifan went to meet Yan Heng and had no choice but to accept the roses.

The front desk staff noticed the interaction and immediately realized that Yan Heng was Shen Xifan’s ex-boyfriend. Yan Heng initially intended to invite her to his room for a private conversation about their relationship. However, Shen Xifan, furious, directly threw the roses at him. Hearing his attempts to justify himself and his suggestion to get back together, Shen Xifan rejected him without hesitation. She was even more disgusted by his attempts to touch her.

In the break room, Xu Xiangya and Lin Yishen comforted Shen Xifan, advising her never to agree to a reconciliation. Soon, the entire hotel was buzzing with gossip about the incident. The female employees speculated that Shen Xifan was being overly dramatic and didn’t know how to appreciate someone like Yan Heng, who was considered a "golden bachelor. "At the staff meeting, Cheng Dong criticized Shen Xifan for how she handled the situation, stating that it had affected the hotel's reputation. As a consequence, he deducted her monthly bonus and reminded everyone to maintain professionalism and learn from this incident.
