As soon as Sang Yan’s graduation ceremony ended, he rushed to Yihe University to find Wen Yifan. Standing in the crowd, he quietly watched as Wen Yifan took her graduation photos. But when Wen Yifan turned to look for him, he silently left.

Su Haoan visited Zhong Siqiao’s home, where the whole family was enjoying a warm and lively gathering. Meanwhile, Wen Yifan went to find Sang Yan at work, only to unexpectedly run into her aunt’s younger brother, Che Xingde, coming downstairs. Fortunately, Sang Yan appeared in time and shielded Wen Yifan. As they were heading upstairs, Che Xingde suddenly grabbed Wen Yifan’s arm. Seeing this, Sang Yan sternly shouted at him to let go. A few coworkers also stepped in to help, eventually forcing Che Xingde to leave.

Sang Yan was worried about Wen Yifan, but she assured him she could handle it and that it wasn’t a big deal. That night, Wen Yifan sleepwalked again, staring at the wall clock. Seeing her silently crying in her sleep, Sang Yan felt a deep ache in his heart. He took her hand and guided her back to her room. Even after lying down, Wen Yifan refused to let go of his hand, so Sang Yan simply lay beside her.

Early the next morning, Wen Yifan woke up to find herself sprawled on top of Sang Yan. She thought he had been sleepwalking, but Sang Yan laughed and said it was actually Wen Yifan who had sleepwalked and dragged him over.

Wen Yifan cooked two large bowls of noodles, and Sang Yan ate with great satisfaction. Wen Yifan told him that if Che Xingde ever showed up at work again, he should just ignore him. However, Che Xingde was persistent—he had somehow become a security guard at the TV station’s building.

One night, Wen Yifan was working late to meet a deadline. When she left the station, Che Xingde followed her. He stopped her, claiming that everything before had been a misunderstanding, that he had never actually impacted her life, yet he had fallen to where he was now entirely because of her. He then said he was struggling financially and demanded Wen Yifan’s help.

Wen Yifan turned to leave, but Che Xingde suddenly grabbed her and shoved her against the wall. He threatened that if she didn’t do as he said, he would tell everyone that she had seduced him and even tried to kill him. He scoffed, saying that since he had nothing to lose, he wasn’t afraid of anything.

Just as Wen Yifan was terrified and trembling, Mu Chengyun arrived—he had been waiting for Wen Yifan at his farewell banquet.

Worried about Wen Yifan, Sang Yan also went to the restaurant after work. While Wen Yifan was talking to him, she received a message from her mother, Zhao Yuandong. The message said that Che Xingde had recently been in a car accident and hit someone. She had originally planned to kick him out, but now that he had found a proper job, he was still staying at her place, so Wen Yifan didn’t need to worry.

That night, when Che Xingde returned home, he greeted Zhao Yuandong. After watching him go upstairs, Zhao Yuandong deliberately reminded Zheng Kejia to put on her clothes properly.

Meanwhile, a customer filed a complaint about food poisoning at Workaholic, triggering an investigation by the Market Supervision Bureau and Nanwu TV Station. After handling the crisis, Sang Yan spotted Che Xingde lurking at the entrance. The reporters covering the incident were led by Fu Zhuang. Sang Yan specifically told him not to inform Wen Yifan about it.

As expected, Che Xingde was behind it all. Ever since being kicked out of Workaholic, he had been holding a grudge. During a gambling session, he deliberately brought people over to stir up trouble. Due to the Market Supervision Bureau’s involvement and the rapid spread of public opinion, Workaholic was eventually shut down.

Seeing the closure notice, Zhong Siqiao immediately called Wen Yifan. Wen Yifan suspected Che Xingde’s involvement, and right then, she received another message from Zhao Yuandong. Zhao Yuandong said that she had heard from Che Xingde that restaurant owners were all shady people and that running a restaurant was not a proper business. She warned Wen Yifan to stay away from “those kinds of people.”

Under the rain, Wen Yifan went to Zhao Yuandong’s home. She sternly warned Che Yanqin and Che Xingde not to involve her in whatever they were planning. Che Yanqin tried to guilt-trip her by bringing up the favor of raising her, but Wen Yifan fired back, saying that her family had covered all of Che Yanqin’s surgery fees and her son’s school tuition without ever asking for repayment.

Zhao Yuandong also brought up the favor of raising her, to which Wen Yifan coldly responded, “You could afford to raise me, but you didn’t dare to.” Before leaving, Wen Yifan gave them one final, commanding warning—if they dared to harass the people around her again, she would fight back with everything she had.
