Episode 38 recap: Xu Yan's feelings deeply moved Xu's father.
Ye Han accidentally broke the photo with Xiao Xiao and discovered the words she had said to him, so he remotely sent her flowers. Xu's mother encountered Tong Yi Wen and mentioned an incident involving Tong Yi Wen's father, stating that she would not allow Tong Yi Wen to step into the Xu family's threshold. Tong Yi Wen proposed a breakup to Xu Jia Cheng that evening.
Lu Zheng, while drunk, spoke heartfelt words to Guo Cheng Yun and instructed her to take care of herself. Xu Jia Cheng, looking at Xu Yan's past wishes, was surprised to find that the secrets Xu Yan wrote were all about Xu Jia Cheng, advising him on things to pay attention to when playing basketball. He sighed at how excellent Xu Yan was in studying and even in playing basketball, and how difficult it was for him to imitate.
Tong Yi Wen took the initiative to invite Xu Jia Cheng, expressing that his work was going to participate in Fashion Week, and they needed to celebrate tonight. Xu Jia Lin once again brought a lunchbox to Xu Yan, and Xu's mother angrily came to confront Xu Yan, criticizing him in public. Xu Jia Cheng intervened and advised his mother to leave, stating that his sister had grown up and knew her own behavior, and moreover, Xu Yan was a reliable person.
Both of them were shocked by the sudden support they received. After Xu's mother stormed off, Xu Jia Lin expressed gratitude to her brother. Just as Xu's mother was leaving, she ran into Tong Yi Wen and directly told her about encountering her father. Unexpectedly, her father was in a dire situation, which further fueled his opposition to her entering the Xu family. Guo Cheng Yun asked Lu Zheng if he had seen her passport, and he used it as leverage, stating that she had to come home and get it herself.
Guo Cheng Yun went home to get her passport, but she didn't expect it to be a ploy by Lu Zheng. Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Zheng proposed a drinking contest, using provocation to see who could drink more. In no time, Lu Zheng was intoxicated and kept rambling. He spoke nonsense, saying how he started to like her, how she was older, appeared strong on the surface but was actually very lonely. He advised her not to drink, as it would harm her stomach, and he said a bunch of caring words for her. Guo Cheng Yun couldn't help but kiss him.
The next day, Lu Zheng woke up and found Guo Cheng Yun sleeping next to him. He shifted all the blame onto Guo Cheng Yun, and they argued, ignoring each other. Ye Han arrived in Beijing as planned and realized that electronic magazines had become prevalent there, more professional, and he found it challenging to catch up with the trend.
Xu Jia Cheng admitted over the phone that he had agreed to Xu Jia Lin dating Xu Yan. Xiao Xiao saw that Shendu had released a new issue and became lost in thought while reading its contents.
Xu Yan came to pay respects to Zheng Jie and voluntarily informed her about being together with Jia Lin, hoping to gain her support and apologizing to her. He felt it was time for him to take a step forward.
Upon learning that her brother had reconciled with Xu Yan, Xu Jia Lin happily hugged him and expressed her gratitude, hoping that he could help them pass the test of their parents. Since Tong Yi Wen's last encounter with Xu's mother, she had cut off contact with Xu Jia Cheng. Xiao Xiao's mind was solely focused on the student competition, and whenever she had a moment to stop and think, Ye Han occupied her thoughts.
Ye Han returned to his hotel and accidentally broke the photo with Xiao Xiao. As he looked at the back of the photo and read Xiao Xiao's message, he decided to pursue her once again. The next day, Xiao Xiao received an anonymous bouquet of flowers. Although she didn't know who sent them, she could sense that they were from Ye Han.
After Lu Zheng slept with his ex-wife, he didn't hear from Guo Cheng Yun for several days. He called Ye Han to confide in him. Taking the opportunity, Ye Han asked if Xiao Xiao had been to the store, and upon learning that they hadn't met, Ye Han told Lu Zheng to confide in Xu Jia Cheng and Xu Yan.
Xu Yan took the initiative to invite Xu's father and mother to dinner as a way to apologize. He felt guilty for the pain he had caused Jia Lin in the past and vowed to give her all his love in the future, promising to stand by her side no matter how difficult it would be. Xu's father said he couldn't bear to see them fight and break up, and instead of expressing disagreement as expected, he surprised them by suggesting they get married directly.
Xu's mother thought she misheard and believed there was a misunderstanding. Xu's father said he knew his daughter well, and his agreement was final. Xu's mother couldn't control Xu Jia Cheng and Tong Yi Wen, and now she couldn't control her daughter Xu Jia Lin either. Frustrated and angry, she left. To avoid Xu Jia Cheng, Tong Yi Wen deliberately worked overtime at the company, while Xu Jia Cheng kept guarding outside her door. In the middle of the night, Eric escorted Tong Yi Wen home.
Xu Jia Cheng didn't understand where he had gone wrong, why Tong Yi Wen could give her smile to Eric but not to him. Tong Yi Wen didn't explain much and simply mentioned that her mother had met her father. Xu Jia Cheng knew that his mother had caused trouble again. Tong Yi Wen didn't want Xu Jia Cheng to hurt his mother because of her, so since she couldn't change her family background, she proposed breaking up.
After a three-month business trip, Ye Han returned, and the three brothers held a "warm welcome" ceremony.
