Xing Mo brought food to the office. You Ning nosily asked who it was for, earning a major eye-roll from Xing Mo. Wu Ming informed You Ning that after careful consideration, the company had decided to let her act in a drama. You Ning was completely unwilling—she worried that if she did well, she’d be swamped with acting offers and wouldn’t have time to walk the runway.

President Ling, seeing that You Ning kept making a fuss, clearly told her that her previous actions—privately negotiating with brand partners to raise endorsement fees and causing a scene at a party—had already spread throughout the industry. No brands would want to work with her anymore. Transitioning to acting was her only option now. As President Ling stormed out of the company in anger, Xing Mo followed her out and handed her the blueberry tuna sandwich.

President Ling still didn’t want Jia Fan to return to the company. She wanted Xing Mo to go to Spain, but Xing Mo said he wouldn’t go. Han Yijing asked the doctor about retinitis pigmentosa. The doctor warned her that it was a hereditary condition—if the father had it, the child would most likely be affected too. You Ning felt terrible seeing a magazine filled with Han Yijing’s photoshoot.

She wanted to ask Xing Mo out for company but was rejected. Just when she felt at a loss, she got a phone call offering to publish a report about Liao Jinyuan, Han Yijing, and Jia Fan, claiming such a dramatic story would definitely go viral. You Ning warned the caller not to mess around, or they’d suffer the consequences.

Xing Mo closed the bar and got everything ready to celebrate President Ling’s birthday, but she was still working late at the office. He texted her, and President Ling told him not to wait. So Xing Mo brought the flowers, gifts, and cake directly to the office. President Ling said she’d keep the cake, but refused the gift. Xing Mo asked her to at least open it. Inside was a custom-designed dress he had made just for her.

President Ling rejected him again. Xing Mo understood her concerns—back then, someone had spread rumors about the two of them. He had taken on both accusers at once and taught them a hard lesson. When the incident reached President Ling, she didn’t punish Xing Mo—she knew his nature and that he wasn’t someone who caused trouble.

From then on, Xing Mo made up his mind—no matter how President Ling treated him, he would always stay by her side, because no one else had ever believed in him unconditionally. When President Ling tried to leave with the flowers and cake, Xing Mo stopped her, took the car keys, and said since she didn’t want the gift, he would take that as a yes to driving her home. Han Yijing and Jia Fan talked about the eye condition.

Jia Fan didn’t mention his own diagnosis, but Han Yijing seemed to have already guessed. Since Jia Fan didn’t want to say it, she didn’t press him. Jia Fan walked Han Yijing to her doorstep, just as Xing Mo pulled up in his car. Xing Mo said birthdays should be spent with family. Jia Fan cooked while Han Yijing watched by his side. In the living room, Xing Mo apologized to President Ling for deciding everything on his own.

Though President Ling talked tough, she softened a little. The four sat around the table, the mood a bit awkward at first. But with compliments from Han Yijing and Xing Mo, President Ling finally picked up her chopsticks. Eventually, thanks to the others’ efforts, she managed a smile and raised her glass. The tension eased. After the meal, they played games together, the atmosphere lively and joyful. Everyone sang the birthday song for President Ling and gave her a happy birthday celebration.
