Episode 34 recap: Mai Cheng Huan helped Yao Zhi Ming overcome his pain.

The Xing'anli Hotel was named one of the top ten boutique hotels, and Mai Cheng Huan and the staff celebrated this hard-earned honor together. Yao Zhi Ming personally prepared a table full of dishes to thank Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian for taking him in, and they all raised their glasses in celebration.

Mai Cheng Huan and Mai Cheng Zao accompanied Mao Mao to Song Huai Min's house to find Ding Ding, but Song Huai Min did not allow them to see each other. Yao Zhi Ming was heartbroken and devastated due to the unexpected death of Yao Ren Fu. He sat on the ground in a daze, silent. Mai Cheng Huan silently stayed by his side, while Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian showed great concern for Yao Zhi Ming.

Today is Yao Zhi Ming's birthday. Liu Wan Yu made steaming hot noodles and carefully carved "Happy Birthday" with carrots. Mai Lai Tian brewed a cup of this year's new tea for Yao Zhi Ming. Yao Zhi Ming felt warm in his heart, but he still couldn't escape from his grief.

Yao Zhi Ming took a few bites of noodles and once again experienced the warmth of a family. His tears couldn't stop flowing. Mai Cheng Huan gave Yao Zhi Ming a cigar sample that Yao Ren Fu had selected at the tasting event before his death as a memento, and she comforted him desperately. Only then did Yao Zhi Ming feel slightly relieved.

Early the next morning, Yao Zhi Ming went to the cemetery to pay respects to Yao Ren Fu and express his grief. Mai Cheng Huan promised to stay by Yao Zhi Ming's side all the time, and Yao Zhi Ming was deeply grateful to her. The Xing'anli Hotel lived up to expectations and was named one of the top ten boutique hotels. Mai Cheng Huan was ecstatic, and Yao Zhi Ming was happy for her. Mai Cheng Huan gave bonuses to the staff and gave them five days of annual leave. Zhang Zi Yu bid farewell to Mai Cheng Huan and went to Switzerland to continue her studies. Mai Cheng Huan welcomed her to work at Xing'anli after graduation.

Yao Zhi Ming went to the market and bought a bunch of vegetables. He wanted to express his gratitude to the Mai family by preparing a meal, but he didn't know where to start. He had to call He Dong and ask for help from a chef who could cook at their home. Yao Zhi Ming expressed his gratitude to the Mai family for their continuous support and help. Mai Cheng Huan immediately noticed that the table of food was not prepared by Yao Zhi Ming. Yao Zhi Ming admitted it openly, and Mai Cheng Huan publicly announced the good news that Xing'anli had been named one of the top ten boutique hotels. Yao Zhi Ming also mentioned his promotion to the position of the East China Regional President. The whole family was happy for them.

After dinner, Mai Cheng Huan deliberately selected a few flowers grown by Yao Zhi Ming and placed them in front of Chen Shu Zhen's memorial. He talked to her about recent events, hoping that Chen Shu Zhen's spirit in heaven would bless them. Liu Wan Yu received a notification from the hospital that during her medical examination, shadows were found in her lungs, suspected to be tumors. The doctor suggested further examination, leaving Liu Wan Yu dumbfounded. She felt like her world was collapsing.

Mai Cheng Huan, Mai Lai Tian, and Yao Zhi Ming returned home from work and saw Liu Wan Yu sleeping on the sofa. Liu Wan Yu lied, claiming to have a stomachache. Mai Cheng Huan showed concern for her, but Liu Wan Yu quickly changed the subject and urged Mai Cheng Huan and Yao Zhi Ming to get married soon. Mai Cheng Huan wanted to wait for some time before making a decision.

Mai Cheng Huan arranged a trip for Mai Lai Tian and Liu Wan Yu, allowing them to go on a vacation together for a few days. Liu Wan Yu didn't want to worry Mai Lai Tian and Mai Cheng Huan, so she didn't mention her illness.

Mai Lai Tian packed their luggage overnight and took Liu Wan Yu out early in the morning. Mai Cheng Huan noticed that something was wrong with Liu Wan Yu but didn't dwell on it. Mao Mao suddenly received a call from Ding Ding, who cried and complained that Song Huai Min had hit him. Both Mai Cheng Zao and Mai Cheng Huan were present, so they went together to confront Song Huai Min.

Song Huai Min sent Ding Ding to his grandmother's house, and he yelled at Mao Mao. Due to the pending appeal, Mao Mao could only tolerate it for the time being. She had no choice but to leave with Mai Cheng Huan and Mai Cheng Zao. Liu Wan Yu and Mai Lai Tian departed with the tour group. Liu Wan Yu was burdened with worries throughout the journey and had no interest in sightseeing. So Mai Lai Tian took her back home.

Mai Cheng Huan invited a lawyer from Xing'anli Hotel to advise and strategize for Mai Cheng Zao. They worked overnight to develop a defense plan and strategy to regain custody rights.
