Because of Yan Heng’s presence, Shen Xifan once again became extremely anxious. She suffered from insomnia throughout the night and experienced nightmares. When she woke up, her face was covered in tears. Looking at the message He Suye had sent her, she could only force a smile while replying to him. Meanwhile, Yan Heng was on a call with his father.

He saw his pursuit of Shen Xifan as a strategy to break free from his father’s control, without ever truly considering how much he cherished this relationship. Early the next morning, Shen Xifan arrived at the hotel for work and found the roses and card that Yan Heng had left for her. Without hesitation, she threw them into the trash. She then brewed some red bean water, took a picture, and sent it to He Suye as her “assignment submission.

” However, He Suye immediately saw through it, realizing that she had bought it from outside. He gave her a failing grade and invited her over for a meal. Since Shen Xifan still had a lot to do, she politely declined He Suye’s invitation. She thought Yan Heng wouldn’t show up again, but as she and her colleagues stepped out of the hotel, they saw Yan Heng standing at the entrance, pulling the same old trick—publicly inviting her to dinner.

Considering the negative impact of a scene outside the hotel, Shen Xifan had no choice but to agree. Sitting in the car, she caught a whiff of the scented sachet that He Suye had blended for her, which immediately drew Yan Heng’s attention. Yan Heng wanted to relive the past and took Shen Xifan to their old favorite restaurant for grilled meat and rice, hoping to rekindle their relationship. He even brought up the topic of marriage.

However, due to his habitual selfishness, he once again angered Shen Xifan. She firmly rejected him and, before leaving, coldly stated that she had never liked eating grilled meat. On the way back, Shen Xifan’s anxiety resurfaced. While searching her bag, she realized that she had left the sachet in Yan Heng’s car. Suffering from a headache, she hurriedly called He Suye. Yan Heng, however, had been secretly following her all the way to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

When he saw the sachet left in his car and connected the dots, he finally understood the situation. On the other side, He Suye checked Shen Xifan’s pulse and guessed that her symptoms of emotional distress must have been triggered by an encounter with her ex-boyfriend. Just as he was taking her pulse, Yan Heng suddenly barged in, claiming that he was there to accompany his “girlfriend” and deliberately making it seem like Shen Xifan was just throwing a little tantrum.

He Suye, completely unfazed by Yan Heng, blocked his way and told him to wait at least fifteen minutes until the consultation was over. He even added an extra herb to the prescription on purpose, sarcastically referring to Yan Heng as “April’s Artemisia. ”With He Suye’s help, Shen Xifan managed to escape through the back door of the clinic.

After dealing with Yan Heng, He Suye hurried outside and embraced Shen Xifan, warmly comforting her and urging her to let go of the past and focus on the present and future. At home, Shen Xifan’s parents noticed that she seemed downcast and worried something was wrong. She casually made up an excuse to brush off their concerns.

The next day, Manager Cheng Dong had a talk with Shen Xifan, advising her to resolve the issue with Yan Heng as soon as possible. After all, gossip spreads quickly, and the situation was affecting the hotel’s reputation—not to mention her own future. Yan Heng continued his relentless pursuit, sending his assistant to deliver flowers to Shen Xifan as usual. Shen Xifan firmly told them to take the flowers away, making it clear that she would not accept them anymore.

Meanwhile, Grandma Liu visited the hospital for a follow-up consultation with He Suye and subtly mentioned that Yan Heng’s presence was causing Shen Xifan a great deal of distress. Although He Suye was concerned, he maintained a calm exterior, believing that Shen Xifan would handle the matter properly. Later, Yan Heng successfully completed a signing ceremony at the hotel. Seeing the news, He Suye couldn’t help but comment on how Yan Heng was still playing the role of a domineering CEO.

At that moment, Li Jie suddenly came running in to announce that their research group’s application had been approved. Everyone was thrilled—their long perseverance had finally paid off. When Yu Liren heard the news, he sincerely felt happy for He Suye. After hanging up the call, He Suye took a picture of the scenery and sent it to Shen Xifan, along with the message: “The weather is nice today.
