Episode 7 recap: Lin Shuang and Jiang Xi form an offensive and defensive alliance.

Jiang Xi arrived at work three seconds late the next day and thought a few words could help her avoid being reprimanded. However, the other party did not give her any face. Holding the documents Wei Ming requested, Jiang Xi entered his office and mentioned an art exhibition she wanted to invite him to over the weekend. Wei Ming asked when she became interested in art exhibitions, and he stated that they could go together if she performed well. Jiang Xi recalled the plans Lin Shuang had made and commented that people like Lin Shuang were too uptight and self-righteous. After all, marriage was about bonds and entanglements. If she couldn't even hate herself, how could she make a man cherish her?

Jiang Xi mentioned that wealthy artists nowadays liked these kinds of art exhibitions. Wei Ming became impatient and wanted to leave, but Jiang Xi insisted that he had promised to accompany her. Reluctantly, Wei Ming followed her. Just as they were kissing, Lin Shuang appeared and slapped them both without hesitation. Wei Ming claimed that she was just a client, and Lin Shuang asked who the woman next to him was. Wei Ming did not admit that they were colleagues. With Wei Ming's reassurance, Lin Shuang reluctantly suppressed her anger and pretended to forgive him. Jiang Xi was annoyed by Wei Ming's behavior and wondered how she could have fallen for someone like him.

Lin Shuang brought Guoguo to Jiang Xi's house for dinner. Lin Mu asked if Guoguo's father had been fighting with Lin Shuang recently. Lin Shuang suggested that if there was anything to ask, they should ask her directly and not discuss such matters with the child. Lin Mu worried about what would happen if Guoguo grew up and didn't tell her anything. On the way back, Guoguo expressed that what Grandma had just said was incorrect and that when they grew up, they would tell her everything. When Jiang Xi wanted to cook, she discovered that the gas and electricity had been cut off. At that moment, Wei Ming sent a message saying he had already taken leave for her and that she didn't need to come to the company for the next few days.

Lin Shuang was drinking beer alone, feeling helpless, so she took out her phone and messaged Jiang Xi. It was only at this moment that she realized that if two people were not in sync, their relationship was destined to fail. Lin Shuang transferred the promised reward to Jiang Xi, who stated that this matter would end here. Lin Shuang bluntly said that if Jiang Xi felt it necessary, she could still contact her. Jiang Xi went to work and was informed that she no longer needed to report to Wei Ming. She was told to just come to her if there were any issues. In other words, Wei Ming didn't want to see her anymore.

As soon as Wei Ming arrived at work, he gathered everyone for a meeting. During the meeting, he specifically mentioned that Jiang Xi should accompany him to a banquet. Jiang Xi stated that she was not suitable to go and used the excuse of a client arriving to leave the meeting room directly. Mi Xue offered to accompany Wei Ming to meet the client since she had no plans that evening, but Wei Ming ignored her.

When Jiang Xi saw Wei Ming come out after drinking, she immediately stated that she had already sent away the designated driver and that she would be the one to drive. She didn't care about what happened that day and didn't blame his wife because she was the one who chose to like a ambitious and opinionated man like him. No wonder.

While Jiang Hai was sleeping, he received a job interview notification from the company. Jiang Hai claimed that he didn't submit a resume, but Jiang Xi candidly admitted that she had done it on his behalf. After asking about the location and time, Jiang Hai hung up the phone and immediately got up, expressing his willingness to attend the interview. However, he was a bit worried that it might be a scam company. While Jiang Xi was at work, Jiang Hai went back to sleep.

Jiang Hai went for the interview and encountered his ex-girlfriend. She regretted wasting two years of her life on him. Jiang Hai stated that they were classmates, and there was no need to speak in such a manner. She suggested that it would be impossible for Jiang Hai to apply as a designer in his current state and that he could try jobs like security. She also mentioned that if he needed it, she could help him find work since her current boyfriend was a director at a real estate company. Lin Shuang witnessed this awkward scene and commented that Lin Shuang's judgment of men must be better than her sister's.

Guo Guo called their grandparents, and Lin Shuang sensed that something was amiss, but her mother didn't tell her. In the meantime, Wei Ming called to say that his parents were coming to see a doctor, and he had some work to do, so he entrusted Lin Shuang to help. Gu Xu saw Lin Shuang at the hospital and questioned her about what was going on. He was shocked to learn that he didn't even know that his father had broken his bones and was hospitalized.
