Dong Xiaoru’s mother had stayed up all night playing cards, and the next day at the stall, she was surprised to see Jia Fan working there—with an injury on the corner of his mouth. The two quickly struck a deal: she wouldn’t tell Dong Xiaoru about the card game, and he wouldn’t tell her father. Each would keep the other’s secret. Dong Xiaoru’s mother regretted stopping Jia Fan from going to France to be a head chef.

In her eyes, modeling was unreliable—something for the young, with no long-term security. Just then, Han Yijing arrived and asked about Jia Fan’s injury. Jia Fan brushed it off. Han Yijing earnestly told Jia Fan that it wasn’t too late to change course—being a head chef really was a great option, and everything Dong Xiaoru’s mother said was right.

But Jia Fan told Han Yijing that modeling had been his mother’s dream, and he was also trying to make up for his father’s regrets. Han Yijing said that as long as he made it onto the cover, everything would work out. But Jia Fan couldn’t understand why she agreed to it in the first place. He didn’t want to be on the cover, and he didn’t want Han Yijing to keep compromising herself for him.

Han Yijing shot back—if he really didn’t want to be on the cover, why make her run around the whole market picking outfits and putting together looks for him? Jia Fan pulled her into a hug and coaxed her, saying fine, he’d do it. What really bothered him was Han Yijing having to work with her ex. Han Yijing got upset and told him to set his pride aside—just treat it like any other job.

Despite their argument, Jia Fan still insisted on escorting Han Yijing to her car. On the way, her old leg injury flared up. Jia Fan tried to carry her princess-style, but Han Yijing asked him to put her down. This whole scene was caught by President Ling, who was watching from a car in the distance. President Ling told Wu Ming that if Jia Fan wasn’t on the cover, then neither was Han Yijing—he should just wait a little longer.

Wu Ming warned You Ning to behave herself and stop stirring up trouble. When You Ning heard that the cover featured Han Yijing and Jia Fan, she immediately got excited—two men and one woman, tangled in love and hate. She couldn’t wait to watch the drama unfold. Jia Fan took Han Yijing to the hospital. While waiting outside, he remembered what Liao Jinyuan drunkenly said—that she would make a comeback in under three years and still return as Top Han.

That was impossible, unless Han Yijing was faking it—faking it for all those who doubted her. The doctor told Jia Fan not to worry, but Jia Fan didn’t believe it. Still, he couldn’t reveal who he really was. Due to patient privacy rules, the doctor didn’t say much more. Xing Mo and Liao Jinyuan were playing basketball when Han Yijing called. Right after he hung up, Jia Fan also called.

Xing Mo scolded Liao Jinyuan to do his job properly and stop creating a mess—just handle things, or he wouldn’t get any peace. Xing Mo cleared out the bar to host Han Yijing privately. Han Yijing said she herself had come to terms with everything, but no matter how she tried to convince Jia Fan, he just wouldn’t listen or even pick up her calls. She asked Xing Mo to talk to Jia Fan.

Xing Mo said, what a coincidence—Jia Fan had also called him, asking him to talk to Han Yijing. Han Yijing said she understood where Jia Fan was coming from, but she might not live to see next year. She only wanted to do everything she could to help Jia Fan succeed while she still could. Xing Mo hadn’t realized how much Han Yijing cared about Jia Fan. Han Yijing said Jia Fan made her feel a life outside of work.

Even without the “top model” title, she still felt loved and cherished. Xing Mo brought up that Liao Jinyuan had his own struggles back then. But to Han Yijing, the reason didn’t matter—what mattered was that he abandoned her and left. Liao Jinyuan overheard every word. He chased after her and told her he finally realized that he had ruined their relationship. He wasn’t asking for forgiveness and would only deal with her professionally from now on.

Han Yijing saw the injury on Liao Jinyuan’s face. Liao Jinyuan admitted he fought with Jia Fan and bitterly said that Jia Fan won. Xing Mo told Jia Fan that Han Yijing had agreed—and that she respected his wishes. President Ling ordered the company to issue a public statement: Jia Fan was removed from the top team. Jia Fan went to confront her and demanded a reason. President Ling called out his relationship with Han Yijing.

Jia Fan admitted it—he wasn’t Liao Jinyuan and wasn’t afraid of anything. President Ling threatened him with his modeling career and told them to break up. But before Jia Fan could respond, Han Yijing ran in. Jia Fan said only children make choices—adults take both. Since they were no longer part of Moyi Road, there was no need to sneak around anymore. Holding Han Yijing’s hand, he walked out of the company in front of all their stunned colleagues.
