Episode 8 recap: Gu Mo Li's career has made a breakthrough.
In Gu Mo Li's house, Zhu Jing Cao was about to have a romantic candlelit dinner with her when Gu's father arrived, disrupting their plans. Zhu Jing Cao was forced to go to the car and listen to her father-in-law's advice. After the divorce, they no longer had legal protection, and Zhu Jing Cao began to have contact with Gao Xia Jing, a single mother who also had a son.
Gao Xia Jing recorded a video of an unintentional physical contact between Yan Li and Gu Mo Li during their exercise session. However, if taken out of context, it could easily lead to misunderstandings. Gao Xia Jing didn't injure any bones, and the doctor advised her to rest and avoid heavy work. The doctor mistakenly assumed that Zhu Jing Cao was Gao Xia Jing's husband, and Zhu Jing Cao quickly explained that he was not.
The two officially introduced themselves and got to know each other. They learned that Keke wanted to eat hamburgers, but Gu Mo Li was too busy with work to accompany the child. Gao Xia Jing took the initiative to suggest taking the child out for hamburgers. Mi Na and Gu Mo Li expressed their opinions on Yan Li's three paintings. Mi Na spoke from a technical perspective, using empty words that did not touch Yan Li. On the other hand, Gu Mo Li understood the emotions behind Yan Li's paintings, which reminded Yan Li of sad things. He directly smashed the third painting and stormed out.
Yan Li's wife, Li Rui, told Gu Mo Li that Yan Li was angry because she was right. When Yan Li painted the third painting, he learned that his wife, Li Rui, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't continue painting. He felt guilty and refused to sign any more contracts with art galleries. He even said he wanted to take Li Rui abroad for recuperation. Li Rui couldn't bear to ruin his career, so she secretly accepted Gu Mo Li's friend request on his phone.
Gu Mo Li understood Yan Li's decision very well. As for Li Rui, Gu Mo Li took her to a hair salon to get a suitable wig. Li Rui's hair had almost fallen out due to chemotherapy, and she was a bit nervous when taking off her hat. But she clearly liked the wig, and later Gu Mo Li took her back home. Yan Li saw his wife transformed and even had tears in his eyes.
Gu Mo Li returned home after work and had a brief emotional conversation with Zhu Jing Cao in the parking lot. They both had to go back to their respective homes.
CEO Chen is currently criticizing Mi Na and Gu Mo Li for not using all means to secure the agency rights for Yan Li's artwork. Suddenly, Li Rui pays a visit and requests to have a separate conversation with Gu Mo Li.
Although Yan Li is still determined to take her abroad for recuperation, Li Rui entrusts Gu Mo Li with the agency rights for Yan Li's artwork in Shanghai, with Yan Li's consent. While they didn't secure everything, they managed to secure half, and CEO Chen praises Gu Mo Li for it and encourages Mi Na to learn from her. To celebrate this good news, Gu Mo Li specifically invites Zhu Jing Cao to her house for a candlelit dinner since her parents have returned to Ningbo.
Zhu Jing Cao comes directly in her pajamas, but little did they know that Gu Demao and Wu Yu Lan had sold the house in Ningbo and returned to Shanghai overnight, disrupting their romantic evening. Gu Demao covers for his daughter and takes Zhu Jing Cao to the underground parking lot for an open and honest conversation, pretending to dispose of trash.
Zhu Jing Cao understands Gu Demao's concern for Gu Mo Li, but deep down, he feels a bit upset. Zhu Jing Cao takes Gao Xia Jing and her child to the kindergarten and thoughtfully ensures that Gao Xia Jing doesn't sit in the passenger seat. However, he gives her a voucher for a yoga studio experience.
The subsequent events are quite coincidental. Gu Mo Li takes Li Rui for Pilates recovery, and Yan Li, worried, follows along. During a break, Li Rui goes to the restroom, and Yan Li takes the opportunity to seek advice from Gu Mo Li. Gu Mo Li teaches him casually, but Yan Li nearly stumbles, and Gu Mo Li supports him. In return, Yan Li supports her waist, and this scene is captured by Gao Xia Jing.
Gao Xia Jing opens the WeChat profile of Keke's mother in the kindergarten group and recognizes her as Gu Mo Li, Zhu Jing Cao's wife. If that video is taken out of context, it can easily be misinterpreted, which would harm Gu Mo Li's reputation. Zhu Jing Cao, upon seeing it, undoubtedly feels uneasy as well.
