Episode 17 recap: Xiao Yao asked Meng Yi An to conceal her personal life for her.
Sun Xiao Ru finished work late and wanted to use the restroom in the company to freshen up. Unexpectedly, Cui Bao Hui was secretly filming outside and refused to leave, blocking the door. Sun Xiao Ru was frightened and didn't know what to do, so she could only plead with Cui Bao Hui to leave. However, Cui Bao Hui insisted on staying and even started singing, causing Sun Xiao Ru to break out in a cold sweat.
Li Yi Jin finished work late and happened to go to the restroom when she discovered Cui Bao Hui's suspicious behavior. Li Yi Jin didn't know how to help Sun Xiao Ru, so she pretended to receive a phone call and played the ringtone, which scared Cui Bao Hui away.
After Cui Bao Hui ran away, Li Yi Jin immediately took Sun Xiao Ru away. However, they hadn't gone far when they felt someone following them from behind. They were afraid that Cui Bao Hui was still following them, so they quickly ran away. Zhou Dao, seeing that Li Yi Jin couldn't catch up, hurriedly caught up and explained the situation to Li Yi Jin.
When Li Yi Jin saw Zhou Dao, she realized that Zhou Dao had come back. She briefly talked to Zhou Dao about recent events and returned home under Zhou Dao's escort. Back at the entrance of their building, Li Yi Jin and Zhou Dao didn't have a chance to talk and could only bid farewell reluctantly. At that moment, Meng Ming Wei came downstairs.
Zhou Dao, worried about being seen by Meng Ming Wei, hurriedly left, while Li Yi Jin tried to provide cover to prevent Meng Ming Wei from discovering Zhou Dao. When Li Yi Jin urged Meng Ming Wei to go upstairs, Tao Shu Na returned from work and relieved Li Yi Jin.
Tao Shu Na went to find Zhang Xiao Yan to obtain space data, but unexpectedly, she accidentally saw her own photos saved in Zhang Xiao Yan's phone. It was then that she realized Zhang Xiao Yan liked her. After Tao Shu Na discovered Zhang Xiao Yan, he agreed to enter into a relationship with her. Tao Shu Na then asked Zhang Xiao Yan to take a photo together, and they officially became a couple.
After successfully becoming a couple, Tao Shu Na immediately called Meng Wan Qing to share the good news and explain the recent conflicts between them, hoping that they, as mother and daughter, would no longer have such disputes in the future. Tao Shu Na sounded very happy, and Meng Wan Qing shared her own feelings because her recent thoughts had changed, and she no longer wanted to divorce Tao Da Lei.
Zheng Bin returned from a business trip and saw Meng Wan Qing working overtime in the company. He was happy and wanted to greet Meng Wan Qing, but when he heard Meng Wan Qing say she wouldn't divorce, he suddenly lost interest. Meng Wan Qing felt that there were too many women in their family, and any man would do, so she decided to settle and continue with Tao Da Lei.
Li Yi Jin bought fruit tea early in the morning to give to Sun Xiao Ru, but unexpectedly, Sun Xiao Ru refused it. Shortly afterward, Li Yi Jin heard that Sun Xiao Ru rushed out of the restroom with a pale face. Li Yi Jin felt that something had happened to Sun Xiao Ru and immediately went to find her. It was then that she learned that Sun Xiao Ru had been photographed and recorded on video by Cui Bao Hui and was being threatened by her, not knowing how to handle the situation and hiding away to cry.
After being caught by Meng Yi An accompanying someone for drinks, Xiao Yao hasn't been in contact with Qiu Xia, which made her extremely worried. Qiu Qiu came for class, and when Xiao Yao saw Meng Yi An bringing Qiu Qiu, and then Qiu Xia arriving, her attention was divided, and she accidentally fell down.
Meng Yi An noticed Xiao Yao's discomfort. She took Qiu Qiu home and asked Qiu Xia to take Xiao Yao to the hospital. However, Xiao Yao insisted on not going to the hospital, so Qiu Xia could only take Xiao Yao home. This made Qiu Xia curious about why Xiao Yao never let him accompany her home.
Qiu Xia asked Xiao Yao about the reason and took her to a building in an old residential area. Xiao Yao still insisted on not letting Qiu Xia come to her place, giving the reason that her roommates in the shared apartment don't like strangers visiting and asked Qiu Xia not to suspect her.
After Qiu Xia left, Xiao Yao hesitated for a long time but eventually went to the residential area where Meng Yi An lived, wanting to have a talk with her. Xiao Yao explained that there was a reason she was involved with another man because he was the one who had the money to treat her father's illness.
Meng Yi An didn't accept Xiao Yao's reason. After Xiao Yao expressed her deep love for Qiu Xia, Meng Yi An requested that Xiao Yao be honest with Qiu Xia and not disappoint such a good person. After the conversation with Meng Yi An, Xiao Yao wanted to find Qiu Xia and called her. However, Qiu Xia had gone to find Qiu Qiu, so Xiao Yao couldn't say anything for the time being.
Xiao Yao didn't reveal her own situation, but she really wanted to marry Qiu Xia. So she proposed to Qiu Xia, but Qiu Xia was afraid to agree. Li Yi Jin, in order to protect Sun Xiao Ru, accompanied her to the restroom every day. They were always together, which made Cui Bao Hui realize that Li Yi Jin was the one who helped Sun Xiao Ru that day.
When Li Yi Jin finished work, Cui Bao Hui threatened her, but Zhou Dao suddenly appeared and didn't give him a chance to succeed. After Zhou Dao escorted Li Yi Jin home, she couldn't help but question Zhou Dao about the reason for his return to their hometown. Unexpectedly, they were caught by Meng Ming Wei again.
Meng Ming Wei wanted to confront Zhou Dao, but Zhou Dao had to leave first. Fortunately, Li Yi Jin stopped him, allowing Zhou Dao to have a chance to leave. After returning home, Meng Ming Wei still wanted to interrogate Li Yi Jin. Tao Shu Na had to step in to explain and assure Meng Ming Wei that Li Yi Jin had promised never to reconcile with Zhou Dao, hoping to put Meng Ming Wei's mind at ease.
Sun Xiao Ru told Li Yi Jin in the morning that Cui Bao Hui wanted her to go on a business trip together, and she didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, Li Yi Jin called Feng Yan Yan and asked her to agree to have a weekend meeting to discuss plans, allowing Sun Xiao Ru to attend. Feng Yan Yan agreed, so when Cui Bao Hui asked Sun Xiao Ru to book the hotel and flight for the business trip, Li Yi Jin requested that Sun Xiao Ru stay for the meeting, forcing Cui Bao Hui to agree.
