Episode 16 recap: Zheng Shu Yi accompanied Shi Yan.

As the two of them arrived at the riverside, Shi Yan looked at the woman in front of him and started asking about her future plans. Before he could hear her response, Shi Yan quickly took off his coat and put it on her. Zheng Shu Yi was instantly surprised by his gesture. She stood there in the cold breeze, allowing him to approach her cheek for a kiss. However, their moment was interrupted by a phone call from Shi Yan's niece. He became visibly annoyed and hastily ended the call. Zheng Shu Yi, who was standing beside him, felt increasingly awkward.

On the other side, after ending the call, Qin Shi Yue observed her brother-in-law's reaction and began to suspect that he was on a date with his girlfriend. Even when her friends passed by, she analyzed her own thoughts and excitedly messaged Yu You about the surprise she had prepared for him. It was only then that Professor Yu You noticed that the gift in front of him was from Qin Shi Yue.

While Qin Shi Yue was happily sending messages and preparing to invite him to dinner, she was unexpectedly rejected. His firm refusal left her feeling very unhappy. After finishing his work, Shi Yan arrived early the next day at the entrance opposite and waited for the person inside to come out. They then got into the car together. When Shi Yan saw the hot coffee specially prepared for him, Zheng Shu Yi felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart and happily went along with it.

Later, Zheng Shu Yi purposely went to Mr. Jiang's room to start working. However, he asked her to wait outside for a moment. Despite this, someone outside the door, without hesitation, rushed in and introduced themselves. After getting into the main topic, Zheng Shu Yi listened to Mr. Jiang's entrepreneurial journey over the years and asked him to talk about the battery accident. After completing the work, Mr. Jiang specifically instructed her to speak positively about his company when she returns, as establishing a company is not easy, and a few negative words can ruin it. After hearing this, Zheng Shu Yi continued to express her own views and prepared to handle official business. Afterward, she did not accept the gift from Mr. Jiang and continued to go out for dinner with Shi Yan.

On the other side, Professor Yu You finished teaching his students, but Qin Shi Yue, who had come from a long distance, invited him to have a meal together. Seeing all this, the professor called her into his office and returned the items to her. This time, he made up his mind to firmly reject the young girl in front of him. However, Qin Shi Yue remained undeterred.

Unexpectedly, when Zheng Shu Yi went to complete her work tasks, she coincidentally ran into her ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend. Upon learning her identity, the other person treated her with disdain. Zheng Shu Yi waited for a long time but didn't see anyone. When Shi Yan learned about the situation, he harshly criticized the other person.

After meeting with the visitors, CEO Qiu began to harshly criticize the people in the company. Coincidentally, Zheng Shu Yi met Shi Yan as she got off the elevator. The two of them remained silent in the room after getting off the elevator to complete their work. After drinking lemon water, Zheng Shu Yi overheard from others about the things Shi Yan had done for her, which deeply touched her. She then willingly provided warm water and accompanied him to work together.
