Episode 14 recap: Promise's mother is worried about the person Promise entrusted, Cong Shan, who is planning to kick Peng Yu'an out of the game.
While Promise's mother was taking inventory at the laundry shop, she discovered that the red wine in the store had been consumed. She thought it was her ex-husband who drank it, but Ren Jun denied it. After much consideration, Peng's father eventually signed his name on the divorce agreement. Meanwhile, Peng Yu'an was attending a meeting at the company, and a project he proposed was rejected by Cong Shan. Peng Yu'an believed there was a misunderstanding between him and Cong Shan, so he arranged to have a meal with her at a restaurant.
Da Hao and Zhao Jin were chatting, and Da Hao felt that Peng Yu'an was constantly targeting him. In the middle of the night, Peng Yu'an would always ask him to accompany him for a drink. Zhao Jin asked Da Hao to make a sacrifice for himself. Zhao Jin earnestly said that he actually understood Peng Yu'an and believed that he must be feeling very sad at this moment. Upon hearing this, Da Hao spewed out his drink, astonished by Zhao Jin's consideration for his love rival.
Peng Yu'an had a meal with Cong Shan and explained the entanglement between himself and Promise. However, Cong Shan told him that it was over between them. Once, she considered Peng Yu'an as the most suitable investment object, but now the optimal investment period had passed. Peng Yu'an was surprised and exclaimed that Cong Shan regarded him as an investment rather than someone she loved! Cong Shan said that all her energy was focused on her career now, and she couldn't find fulfillment in a relationship.
For Cong Shan, Peng Yu'an was just a suitable companion. In fact, she didn't like him that much. Peng Yu'an asked if she would spend a lifetime with someone she didn't love. Cong Shan replied that she only considered suitability, not affection. She reminded Peng Yu'an to think about what he truly wanted. When Zhao Qin went to deliver flowers, they were casually thrown into the trash by the recipient. Zhao Qin retrieved the flowers and returned to the flower shop. Seeing her feeling down, Promise advised her not to take it to heart, as such things happen often. Zhao Qin asked about Promise's feelings for Shi Ran, realizing that everyone's feelings are different. Later that evening, a few of them made plans to play an escape room game together. Shi Ran chose a horror theme, and everyone was excited. Zhao Qin was also eager to try it out. However, during the game, she got carried away and teamed up with a boy from the game center, becoming the missing girl that Zhao Jin and the others were looking for.
When Xu Yang entered, he promised to protect Shi Ran, but the eerie atmosphere along the way terrified Xu Yang, and he ended up hiding behind Shi Ran. In the end, Zhao Qin successfully completed the role and was surprised to see the boy take off his props, revealing a bald head. Zhao Qin asked for his name, and he introduced himself as Xiao Bai.
Zhao Jin accompanied Promise back home, and Promise's mother was already waiting at the doorstep. She knew that Zhao Jin was the person Promise liked. Once inside the house, Promise's mother earnestly advised Promise not to choose Zhao Jin, as she didn't want her to repeat her own mistakes. She hoped Promise would understand her feelings. However, Promise didn't want to sacrifice her happiness solely for her mother's sake. Promise's mother asked how well Promise really knew Zhao Jin and how many secrets he still had that Promise didn't know about.
Peng Yu'an went to the horse stable to find Cong Shan. Cong Shan asked him what he really wanted. Peng Yu'an said he needed time from Cong Shan. Cong Shan replied that she wasn't Promise and couldn't give him ten years. She might not even be able to give him ten months. Peng Yu'an mentioned that he had been in a relationship with Promise for ten years, and it couldn't be without feelings. Cong Shan asked him if he had ever mentioned breaking up with Promise. After a moment of silence, Peng Yu'an asked if their relationship not progressing further would affect their fund company. However, Cong Shan said the fund company was set up by her father for her and didn't have much to do with Peng Yu'an.
Peng Yu'an mentioned that he had also invested a significant amount of funds, but Cong Shan said he could withdraw that money anytime. Peng Yu'an suggested that things didn't have to be so extreme, but Cong Shan stated that he was a minority shareholder in the company, and legally she couldn't do much to him. However, she mentioned that there would soon be new partners joining, and Peng Yu'an would need to report to them. Peng Yu'an drove back home, constantly thinking about the words Cong Shan had said to him.
Zhao Qin started to communicate with Xiao Bai, and the newly smitten Zhao Qin hid in the flower shop to exchange WeChat messages with him. When Shi Ran saw this, Zhao Qin admitted to liking Xiao Bai, and Promise felt it was necessary to tell Zhao Jin about it. Zhao Jin's ex-wife, Ms. Tian, returned with their child and moved back into their old house. Zhao Jin helped her fix the water pipes. When Promise called Zhao Jin, he didn't answer, but when he called back, Promise told him about Zhao Qin's situation.
