Episode 18 recap: Cheng Yao asked Qian Heng to start a livestream.
Qian Heng had been waiting downstairs for Cheng Yao and Mengting to come out because she didn't have a place to stay temporarily, so she wanted to stay at Cheng Yao's house. However, Qian Heng didn't want to disturb the two of them, so he directly paid for a hotel room and brought Mengting there to check in.
Before leaving, Cheng Yao prepared hot porridge for Qian Heng. Actually, Cheng Yao was worried that he wouldn't eat and would have an upset stomach. To supervise Qian Heng, Cheng Yao intentionally started a livestream to monitor him at all times. Before leaving, Cheng Yao told Qian Heng to make sure to set the privacy settings so that no one could enter the room and see them. However, after Qian Heng started the livestream, he forgot to set the permissions and started drinking the porridge.
Cheng Yao asked Mengting why she would secretly film the two of them since it was illegal. Mengting didn't expect that it would be illegal, but now the focus was on how to resolve the child's situation. At that moment, Cheng Yao's colleagues kept sending messages to Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao asked Mengting to rest in the room and went out to see what was happening.
To Cheng Yao's surprise, she saw that everyone knew that Qian Heng was livestreaming, and there was even a young girl sending gifts to Qian Heng. Cheng Yao knew that things were going to be a disaster. At this point, more and more people were watching the livestream. Qian Heng, who was still unaware, continued to drink his porridge in front of the camera. Guo Ying and her group were also very curious why Qian Heng suddenly started a livestream, and it was even stranger that he used Cheng Yao's account.
In a hurry, Cheng Yao returned to the car to tell Qian Heng about the situation, but Qian Heng was already asleep in the car, and Cheng Yao didn't want to disturb him. She quietly returned to her seat, put on her earphones, and watched the replay of the livestream. Cheng Yao couldn't help but laugh because she had never seen Qian Heng like this before. In fact, sleeping Qian Heng was quite handsome.
Cheng Yao couldn't help but get closer to Qian Heng and lightly touched him with her hand, which woke him up immediately. Qian Heng bought bread for Cheng Yao and pretended that it was just a casual purchase, but Cheng Yao knew that he had bought it specifically for her.
After returning home, Cheng Yao cooked noodles. Qian Heng said he didn't want to eat, but he was actually very hungry after smelling the aroma. Qian Heng asked Cheng Yao to cook a bowl for him, and at Qian Heng's pleading, Cheng Yao finally made a bowl of noodles for him.
In the morning, Qian Heng said he didn't want Cheng Yao to ride in his car, but in reality, he still waited for her to walk together in the morning. Cheng Yao also asked Qian Heng to put her down earlier, so as not to be seen by other colleagues, which made Qian Heng very angry. Cheng Yao wanted to establish clear boundaries between them.
Deng Ming accidentally took the wrong gift prepared for the collaborator, and he received a phone call from the other party expressing unwillingness to cooperate.
Afterwards, Deng Ming realized that it was his conversation with Cheng Xi that the collaborator found out about. It seemed that Cheng Xi was behind all of this. He was very angry and confronted Cheng Xi, even threatening her. In his frustration, he even raised his hand to hit Cheng Xi. Fortunately, someone came looking for Cheng Xi at that moment, so he had to leave. He warned Cheng Xi that her sister would suffer consequences.
Mengting called Cheng Yao and told her that she had decided to divorce and would fight for her rights. Cheng Yao naturally supported Mengting and even suggested that she seek help from Qian Heng, as he had the ability to secure better terms for her.
Cheng Yao went to find Qian Heng, but he said he didn't need to be informed about cases below five million. Cheng Yao mentioned that it was about Mengting's case, but Qian Heng still felt it wouldn't be appropriate for Cheng Yao to handle it alone, considering the lack of evidence. Cheng Yao wasn't afraid and expressed confidence, so Qian Heng reluctantly agreed.
Cheng Yao quickly shared the good news with Mengting. However, when Mengting tried to contact her boyfriend, he didn't answer the phone. Mengting also showed a signed agreement where her boyfriend promised to give up all his assets if either of them cheated. Cheng Yao asked Mengting to focus on taking care of herself while she would handle the task of gathering evidence.
While Mengting was still at the company, Qian Heng's mother secretly approached Cheng Yao and handed her a blind date candidate, hoping she could help. Qian Heng's mother wanted both of them to acknowledge their mutual interest.
Qian Heng suddenly received a message from his father informing him that his mother had come to the company. When Qian Heng went to see her, he found Cheng Yao with his mother. Initially, Cheng Yao was speaking positively about Qian Heng, but in order to secure Qian Heng's mother's assistance with her own blind date, she started mentioning some of Qian Heng's flaws. Unfortunately, Qian Heng overheard these comments and became very angry, scolding Cheng Yao.
In his anger, Qian Heng said that Cheng Yao was just his subordinate. In reality, neither of them had admitted their feelings for each other. That night, Qian Heng worked late and didn't go home, but he was still absent-minded. He even made arrangements with a moving company to move out of his house. However, when he returned home, he saw that Cheng Yao had prepared a table full of food for him and had written an apology. At that moment, Cheng Yao was already asleep on the sofa.
Seeing Cheng Yao sleeping, Qian Heng felt a deep sense of tenderness for her. He woke her up and told her that he was going to move out. Qian Heng noticed that Cheng Yao didn't seem too saddened by his decision to leave, which angered him even more. He then called Wu Jun to complain.
As Cheng Yao was about to return to her room, Qian Heng happened to come out of his room. They exchanged a glance but didn't say a word. Both of them felt deeply disappointed. The next day at work, Cheng Yao saw that Qian Heng hadn't arrived and wondered if he was moving out. In that case, she decided to go back later.
