Episode 9 recap: Shao Yi Chen broke up with Ji Xing.
The two had been dreaming of a beautiful future, watching movies together. Shao Yi Chen reminisced how their biggest dream was to open a small restaurant, hire some chefs to cook, and then go fishing with the love of his life and travel to more beautiful places. But now, they had become increasingly busy and gradually forgotten their original simple happiness.
Ji Xing fell asleep while watching the movie. Shao Yi Chen helped her pull up the blanket, and when he closed the laptop, he saw that Ji Xing had been working on a wedding plan on the computer. Shao Yi Chen was very pleased, even though his girlfriend was busy, she was still thinking about their future.
The next morning, Shao Yi Chen had prepared breakfast. Normally Ji Xing would give her boyfriend a hug before leaving, but this time Shao Yi Chen released her from the embrace and calmly proposed breaking up. Ji Xing was very surprised, as they were at the age to discuss marriage, yet he wanted to break up.
The taxi driver downstairs was honking impatiently. Ji Xing saw that Shao Yi Chen had made up his mind, so she left the engagement ring on the table before leaving for a high-end software industry negotiation meeting. Upon arrival, Ji Xing dried her tears and gathered her spirits to go in.
Han Ting had been waiting in the banquet hall for a while. When Ji Xing arrived, she didn't see Han Ting and sat down gloomily. Han Ting noticed Ji Xing's unusual state and introduced her to his business partners, but Ji Xing was distracted. Zeng Di, who was also at the banquet, couldn't help but feel jealous every time he saw Ji Xing and Han Ting together, so he intentionally told the partners that Ji Xing used to be just a junior employee at the company. Han Ting noticed this and took the opportunity to remind Zeng Di not to unnecessarily embarrass the other party.
In Han Ting's impression, Ji Xing had never been in such a state before, and he realized that something might have happened. When he went back, he specially arranged for Ji Xing to ride in his car.
Ji Xing returned home, the house was empty, and the engagement ring she had placed on the table in the morning was missing. Ji Xing was very afraid. She and Shao Yi Chen had been dating for four years, and she had always thought it was a very stable relationship until they were about to get married. But in the past few days, everything had suddenly changed! Ji Xing couldn't understand it. She immediately went out to find Shao Yi Chen and ask him, to see if he had been unfaithful.
At Shao Yi Chen's rented apartment, Ji Xing searched every corner but didn't see any women's belongings. Ji Xing cried as she begged Shao Yi Chen for some time, saying she would get married after her company was on the right track, but Shao Yi Chen said helplessly that he couldn't just be a bystander, unable to help when Ji Xing needed it, he could only watch. Shao Yi Chen had thought it through clearly - he just wanted a simple, peaceful happiness, but Ji Xing was fully focused on her career and couldn't be his best partner.
Shao Yi Chen spoke clearly. Ji Xing left in a daze. Just last night they had happily watched a movie together, and today they had broken up, with no hesitation. Ji Xing was about to cry herself to death. Not wanting to return to the empty rented apartment, Ji Xing went straight to the nearest bar.
Han Ting could see that Ji Xing had broken up. When he saw her during the day, he noticed the engagement ring was gone. Ji Xing's good friend, invited to Han Ting's house, saw that Han Ting had made seafood porridge, and reminded him that since he knew about the breakup, he should seize the opportunity to make a good impression. Although Han Ting said he didn't want to take advantage of the situation, he couldn't resist his friend's advice and immediately went out to change his clothes.
Ji Xing was drowning her sorrows at the bar, barely able to sit upright. Han Ting saw this, couldn't bear to watch, and directly carried Ji Xing into his car. On the way, he had Lulu contact Xiaolong to ask for Ji Xing's address, then took Ji Xing back home. Xiaolong and Lulu had gone out to buy honey, so Han Ting stayed at home to keep Ji Xing company.
