During the lunch break, He Suye couldn’t wait to see Shen Xifan. He leaned in to kiss her but was stopped by her playful reminder to maintain a ten-meter safety distance. Shen Xifan noticed how strained the relationship between He Suye and He Sheng was, and she couldn’t help but feel worried. Originally, He Sheng was very concerned about He Suye’s love life since he was always buried in work and alone. However, upon learning that his son was dating Shen Xifan, he was genuinely relieved and pleased.

That evening, Shen Xifan took the initiative to ask about He Suye’s relationship with his father. He Suye shared how his father’s long-term neglect of the family, coupled with his lack of care for his wife and child, eventually led to his mother’s early death from cancer. Hearing this made Shen Xifan feel distressed, so she gently asked He Suye to prepare a suit for the next day.

At the medical summit, Shen Xifan and Xu Xiangya had incorporated traditional Chinese medicinal cuisine and fragrances into the event plan, which was widely praised. Meanwhile, He Suye’s presentation on post-operative care using traditional Chinese medicine for chemotherapy patients was a huge success, drawing national and international attention. When He Sheng heard his son’s presentation, he was moved to tears. At that moment, he realized that, just like Shen Xifan said, his son was truly shining in his own professional field.

Since the father-son relationship had long been strained, many things needed to be clarified. Shen Xifan intentionally created an opportunity for them to spend time together. She invited He Sheng and He Suye for dinner at the hotel and carefully prepared traditional medicinal tea and herbal cuisine designed by He Suye. During dinner, He Sheng subtly asked whether the young couple had any plans for marriage. The two were caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond, but Yu Liren quickly stepped in to ease the awkward atmosphere.

After dinner, He Sheng invited He Suye for a private conversation outside. It was a rare moment when He Sheng expressed support for his son’s work. He even mentioned that once he returned, he would look for some cardiothoracic and traditional Chinese medicine collaborative papers, hoping they could do research together if He Suye was interested. This marked a significant breakthrough in their strained relationship.

On the way home, He Suye suddenly stopped, took out a bracelet that his late mother had left behind, and gently put it on Shen Xifan’s wrist. He sincerely confessed his deep love for her, which touched Shen Xifan immensely, and the two tightly embraced each other. Back at home, Shen Xifan’s parents were busy experimenting with herbal cuisine in the kitchen. When they saw the bracelet on their daughter’s wrist, they couldn’t hide their joy, and the family enjoyed a moment of pure bliss.

As the medical summit was coming to an end, experts gradually left the hotel. Before leaving, He Sheng took the initiative to express his heartfelt gratitude to Shen Xifan. Shen Xifan seized the opportunity to convey all of He Suye’s thoughts about end-of-life care to He Sheng, reassuring him that He Suye had never lost his passion for life. On the contrary, he was using his expertise to rekindle hope for countless patients. This allowed He Sheng to finally let go of his worries.

After receiving a text from Shen Xifan, He Suye couldn’t help but ask for a photo of her. The moment he saw it, he couldn’t stop smiling. His colleague, Xiao Song, excitedly showed him an article published on the hospital’s official account featuring his presentation. However, instead of caring about that, He Suye proudly showed off how Shen Xifan had carefully picked out his outfit. Even the nurses teased him, urging him to quickly settle his lifelong happiness.

That weekend, Shen Xifan’s parents went on a trip to the countryside, leaving her alone at home. Meanwhile, Xu Xiangya had decided to resign from the hotel, so she and Lin Yishen invited Shen Xifan and He Suye to hang out one last time. During the gathering, Xu Xiangya also sought advice from He Suye about opening a health and wellness restaurant specializing in herbal cuisine, to which He Suye gave full support.

Since Xu Xiangya was serious about starting the wellness restaurant, she would inevitably need a stable supply of medicinal herbs. Without hesitation, He Suye agreed to be her supplier. When it came time to pay the bill, Lin Yishen casually asked how He Suye felt about Shen Xifan studying abroad after resigning. Without a second thought, He Suye firmly stated that he would support her with all his heart.

That evening, as the sun set, Shen Xifan expressed her mixed feelings about leaving the hotel after working there for seven years. However, she felt incredibly fortunate that at the end of her journey there, she got to witness He Suye standing on the stage, shining so brightly in his career. Even more comforting was seeing the long-broken bond between him and his father finally beginning to mend. For her, that was already the most fulfilling and beautiful moment.
