Episode 9 recap: Peng Yu'an suspected that Zhao Jin had an affair with Cong Shan and confirmed that she promised to break up with Peng Yu'an.

Peng Yu'an suspected that Zhao Jin had an affair with Cong Shan and confirmed that she promised to break up with Peng Yu'an.Peng Yu'an, Zhao Jin, and Da Hao were drinking together. Peng Yu'an asked Zhao Jin if she had been at Cong Shan's house a couple of days ago. Without hesitation, Zhao Jin directly admitted that she was there.

Peng Yu'an immediately became nervous. Zhao Jin explained that at the time, she and Xu Yang were inside the house and knew that Cong Shan and Peng Yu'an were not on good terms, so they didn't come out to greet them. After saying that, Zhao Jin proactively raised her glass and apologized to Peng Yu'an. Peng Yu'an seemed to let go of his suspicions and casually said that there was nothing for Zhao Jin to apologize for. Da Hao was confused by the situation while listening. Peng Yu'an then mentioned that Shu Ran, a close friend of Xu Yang, had been staying at Cong Shan's house recently, and Xu Yang had been spending more time with Shu Ran. That's why they were at Cong Shan's house that day. Peng Yu'an said that if he had known it was Zhao Jin and Xu Yang, he would have gone in immediately. He was having conflicts with his girlfriend at the time, and it would have been better if he could have gone in and explained things clearly that day.

Zhao Jin agreed and said that it should have been like that, there should be no hiding or concealing. Sensing the tension between them, Da Hao quickly intervened to mediate. Meanwhile, Xu Yang and Shu Ran were having dinner together. When Xu Yang brought Shu Ran back, Da Hao called Xu Yang and asked what had happened that day. Xu Yang was confused and didn't know how to answer. After hanging up the phone, Xu Yang nervously told Shu Ran that it seemed like he needed to explain things to Peng Yu'an.

Coincidentally, when Xu Yang, Shu Ran, and Peng Yu'an reached the entrance of Peng Yu'an's house, they encountered each other. Upon hearing the news, Peng Yu'an was drinking with Zhao Jin, and he was also surprised. The two of them returned home, and Peng Yu'an was extremely anxious, not knowing what would happen between him and Zhao Jin. Shu Ran suggested that she call Peng Yu'an. After Peng Yu'an received the call from Shu Ran, he somewhat boasted and then hung up, saying that his girlfriend asked him to go home. Da Hao urged him to go quickly, but Zhao Jin said, "Can't you not go?" Peng Yu'an angrily asked why Zhao Jin wouldn't let him go. Zhao Jin replied, "Your girlfriend can come here too." This made Peng Yu'an even more furious, and he wanted to confront Zhao Jin physically, but Da Hao quickly stood up and stopped him, saying that Zhao Jin had drunk too much.

When they arrived at Cong Shan's house, Shu Ran explained the events of that evening to Peng Yu'an. Peng Yu'an said that he didn't care about that matter, and Shu Ran suggested turning the page on it. As Peng Yu'an was leaving, he hugged Cong Shan and said that he couldn't be without her, and they should start anew. However, Cong Shan remained unmoved by his words.

Peng Yu'an sat down in the taxi, feeling dejected. Cong Shan called him and asked if he could come pick her up. Peng Yu'an replied that he had been drinking and couldn't drive.

Xu Yang returned home and asked Shu Ran if she was disappointed in him. Shu Ran hugged him and said that she supported him no matter what. Xu Yang called Zhao Jin to apologize, and Zhao Jin understood that it was for his own good. Xu Yang directly told Zhao Jin that he liked her. At that moment, Xu Yang saw Peng's mother coming in and quickly hung up the phone. Peng's mother was worried about Peng Yu'an's relationship with Xu Yang, and Xu Yang didn't hide it from her. She told her directly that she had already broken up with Peng Yu'an.

Peng's father came to find Peng Yu'an and urged him to handle his relationship with Xu Yang as soon as possible. Peng Yu'an asked his father to go upstairs and have tea. Meanwhile, Peng's mother was having a conversation with Cong Shan, and they talked about Peng Yu'an's relationship with Cong Shan. Peng's mother seemed to understand the reason why Xu Yang broke up with him. Peng's father and Peng's mother came out, and Peng's mother left angrily because Peng's father was pressuring Peng Yu'an to marry Cong Shan.

Peng Yu'an explained to Cong Shan about the drinking incident but didn't tell her about Xu Yang's breakup request. Zhao Jin accompanied Zhao Qin to deliver a cat to Xu Yang and saw that it was snowing outside. Zhao Qin suggested going for a walk, and they all happily went out to have steak together. Zhao Jin explained Zhao Qin's illness to Xu Yang.

Cong Shan was angry that Peng Yu'an didn't tell her about his breakup with Xu Yang and didn't let him accompany her home. Cong Shan went to find Xu Yang and confirmed the breakup with Xu Yang. Then she turned back to Peng Yu'an to verify the situation. Peng Yu'an had no choice but to admit that Xu Yang indeed proposed a breakup, but he didn't agree to it.

After Peng Yu'an and Zhao Jin finished a match, they planned to go for a drink together. They sat in the car and silently competed with each other. Just then, Xu Yang called, and Peng Yu'an pressured Zhao Jin to answer the call. Surprisingly, Zhao Jin answered the phone and openly told Xu Yang that she and Peng Yu'an were together.
