Episode 5 recap: Mai Cheng Huan and Xin Jia Liang arranged for their parents to meet.
Mao Mao felt that Mai Cheng Huan treated Xin Jia Liang like a child who would never grow up and advised her to carefully consider her feelings. However, Mai Cheng Huan didn't take it seriously. Yao Zhi Ming brought the dessert made by Mai Cheng Huan to his grandmother, who immediately recognized it as Mai Cheng Huan's creation.
Xin Jia Liang successfully proposed marriage and couldn't wait to share the good news with his mother, Chen De Jing. He urged Chen De Jing to arrange a meeting between the two sets of parents as soon as possible to discuss the wedding plans. Chen De Jing initially wanted Xin Jia Liang to marry the daughter of a business partner, Zhang, but Xin Jia Liang insisted on marrying only Mai Cheng Huan. Chen De Jing had no choice but to make a compromise.
Xin Jia Liang's sister, Xin Jia Li, strongly opposed the marriage. She herself had married Luo Ming Li according to their parents' wishes, but their relationship was filled with constant cold wars due to their mismatched feelings. Chen De Jing advised Xin Jia Li not to interfere in this matter. Xin Jia Li came up with the idea of booking a luxurious restaurant and ordering the most expensive dishes to show off their wealth and intimidate Mai Cheng Huan, who came from a humble background.
Mai Cheng Huan arrived early to report to Yao Zhi Ming about work. She repeatedly apologized to him and explained that Xin Jia Liang's sudden proposal at the 520 event caught her off guard and completely disrupted their original plans. Yao Zhi Ming didn't blame her, and Xin Jia Liang's proposal caused a sensation at the hotel. Mai Cheng Huan personally made a dessert and presented it to Yao Zhi Ming for tasting.
Yao Zhi Ming visited the nursing home to see Grandma Mai and brought her a few clothes. He also gave her the dessert made by Mai Cheng Huan, which Grandma immediately recognized. She hoped that Yao Zhi Ming would treat Mai Cheng Huan well, and he readily agreed.
Chen De Jing finalized the time and location for the meeting between the two sets of parents and Xin Jia Liang immediately informed Mai Cheng Huan. Liu Wan Yu didn't want to lose face in front of the Xin family, so she searched through her belongings overnight for suitable clothes. Mai Cheng Huan took the initiative to suggest buying new clothes for Liu Wan Yu, and she was ecstatic.
Professor Cheng wanted to take Mai Cheng Zao to meet a well-known lawyer who had just returned from abroad on the weekend. This meeting was crucial for Mai Cheng Zao's post-graduation job arrangement. However, he had to accompany his parents to meet the Xin family, so he had to send a message to explain the situation to Professor Cheng. Liu Wan Yu asked Mai Lai Tian to borrow a car from Yao Zhi Ming for the appointment. Mai Lai Tian couldn't refuse her and reluctantly agreed to ask for permission from the vice president, Zhang Pei Sheng.
Mai Cheng Huan asked Mao Mao to accompany Liu Wan Yu in choosing clothes. Mao Mao advised Mai Cheng Huan to carefully consider her feelings. Mai Cheng Huan carried stain remover, Bluetooth earphones, and a power bank with her at all times, all prepared for emergencies with Xin Jia Liang. Mao Mao worried that Xin Jia Liang wouldn't be able to support the family, but Mai Cheng Huan didn't think too much about it. As long as they truly loved each other, it would be enough for her.
Mai Lai Tian drove Yao Zhi Ming and Zhang Pei Sheng to the company. Liu Wan Yu kept calling, but Mai Lai Tian couldn't answer the phone with his hands, so he had to put it on speakerphone. Liu Wan Yu urged Mai Lai Tian to borrow a car from Zhang Pei Sheng to go to the appointment and even brought up the incident where Mai Lai Tian bravely saved Zhang Pei Sheng. Mai Lai Tian quickly hung up the phone and explained to Zhang Pei Sheng that Liu Wan Yu wanted to use the car to save face. Yao Zhi Ming agreed to give Mai Lai Tian a day off on the weekend to spend time with his family. Zhang Pei Sheng asked Yao Zhi Ming to choose a gift to send to the Mai family.
Professor Cheng didn't want Mai Cheng Zao to miss such a good opportunity, so he asked him to find some time to meet with an overseas returnee fellow student. Mai Cheng Zao followed the address and found the fellow student. When the fellow student learned that he wanted to go to the famous Fangyuan Law Firm, he asked for Mai Cheng Zao's resume and promised to help with the recommendation.
Mao Mao and Mai Cheng Huan accompanied Liu Wan Yu to choose a cheongsam. Liu Wan Yu liked it very much, but the price made her hesitate. Mao Mao lied and said she had a coupon, which convinced Liu Wan Yu to accept it. Mai Cheng Huan went to make the payment and ran into Yao Zhi Ming who came to choose a gift. Yao Zhi Ming congratulated her, and Mai Cheng Huan promised to continue working hard after marriage. Yao Zhi Ming chose a high-end watch as a gift.
Mai Cheng Zao arrived later and joined Mai Cheng Huan and the others for dinner. Mao Mao learned that Mai Lai Tian didn't borrow a car and offered to lend her own car for them to attend the gathering. Mai Cheng Zao invited Mao Mao to join the meeting, but Liu Wan Yu felt it was inappropriate. Mao Mao made up an excuse and concealed the awkwardness, asking Mai Cheng Zao to accompany her to the parking lot to get the car. Mai Cheng Zao felt guilty and repeatedly apologized to Mao Mao, but she didn't think much of it.
Mai Cheng Zao developed feelings for Mao Mao and curiously asked about her views on relationships. Mao Mao wanted a passionate love and didn't want to enter into marriage. Tomorrow was the weekend, and Liu Wan Yu put on the cheongsam and admired herself in front of the mirror. Mai Lai Tian polished his shoes and lamented the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, his daughter Mai Cheng Huan was getting married. Liu Wan Yu also shared the same sentiment. Mai Cheng Huan overheard her parents' conversation and felt a tinge of sadness. She couldn't sleep and came to chat with Mai Cheng Zao.
Mai Cheng Zao received a message from his fellow student, informing him that his resume had been rejected by the law firm. Mai Cheng Zao felt disappointed, but he forced himself to cheer up and had a heart-to-heart talk with Mai Cheng Huan. Mai Lai Tian changed into a new suit but accidentally tore the crotch. The whole family couldn't help but laugh.
Chen De Jing took Xin Jia Liang and Xin Jia Li to the restaurant for the appointment. She called Xin Zhi Shan to remind him not to be late, but Xin Zhi Shan was impatient, and his secretary massaged his temples beside him.
Mai Cheng Huan's family arrived at the designated location early, and Xin Jia Liang, Xin Jia Li, and Chen De Jing arrived shortly after. Liu Wan Yu warmly greeted Xin Jia Li, but Xin Jia Li responded coldly.
