Episode 23 recap: Ji Yu Heng and Tu Xiao Ning's Relationship Discovered
After the successful press conference, the famous host was captivated by the exquisite glassware and eager to make a purchase. However, she encountered a payment issue and grew anxious. Seeing this, Tu Xiao Ning kindly offered assistance, checked the card, and generously paid on the host's behalf. Grateful, the host proactively exchanged WeChat with Tu Xiao Ning, sparking a new connection between them.
While riding together, Zhao Fang Gang accidentally spotted an elastic band in Ji Yu Heng's passenger seat, raising his suspicions that a woman had previously been in Ji Yu Heng's car. To ease the awkwardness, Ji Yu Heng cleverly shifted the conversation, jokingly mentioning Zhao Fang Gang's affection for Rao Jing.
Back in the office, Zhao Fang Gang remained preoccupied with the elastic band, even associating it with Tu Xiao Ning. When confronted, Tu Xiao Ning quickly clarified that such elastic bands were common and many people might own similar ones. Soon after, a group photo was taken, and colleagues jokingly suggested Tu Xiao Ning and Ji Yu Heng looked like they were posing for a wedding photo, creating a tense atmosphere. Tang Yu Hui promptly stepped in to defuse the situation, explaining the resemblance was merely a coincidence.
Elsewhere, Ling Wei Yi was upset that Qi Yu had refused her gifts, as he wanted to provide for her through his own efforts rather than rely on her family's resources. After understanding Qi Yu's perspective, Ling Wei Yi was deeply moved, and the couple reconciled.
Late at night, Zhao Fang Gang, while working overtime, stumbled upon Rao Jing's forgotten work badge. Concerned, he called her but found she was intoxicated and unable to open her door. Zhao Fang Gang rushed to her place and learned her home had been burglarized, though she was unharmed. Facing her worries, Zhao Fang Gang silently comforted and supported Rao Jing, who in her drunken state expressed uncertainty and fear about the future of their relationship.
She feared that once she started, she would be unable to go back, and she did not want to lose this precious friendship. However, driven by her emotions, Rao Jing couldn't help but kiss Zhao Fang Gang, then promptly fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Fang Gang remained by her side, carefully tending to her, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, Ji Yu Heng was in a frenzy over the upcoming project collaboration with the CEO. Multiple banks were eyeing the opportunity, and the competition was fierce. Tu Xiao Ning encouraged Ji Yu Heng to stay calm, believing they could find a breakthrough. While waiting for the traffic light, the two couldn't resist embracing, a scene witnessed by the passing Tang Yu Hui.
Tang Yu Hui was stirred, recalling the many interactions between Tu Xiao Ning and Ji Yu Heng, beginning to suspect that Tu Xiao Ning's feelings for Ji Yu Heng were not something that had just blossomed overnight. Rao Jing seemed to have forgotten the events of the previous night, but she was fully aware, simply pretending to be oblivious, amusing and exasperating Zhao Fang Gang.
In the office, Tang Yu Hui suddenly launched an attack on Tu Xiao Ning, her words laced with a clear target, leaving Tu Xiao Ning perplexed and unsure of the reason. Tang Yu Hui even planned to report the matter to the bank's president, coinciding with Ji Yu Heng's ongoing briefing to the president, as Tang Yu Hui was already well-versed in Ji Yu Heng's project proposal.
She hatched a plan to leverage her connections to secure more opportunities for Ji Yu Heng, while also taking the chance to badmouth Tu Xiao Ning in front of Ji Yu Heng. At that moment, Rao Jing timely appeared and brought Zhao Fang Gang to defend Tu Xiao Ning, creating a delicate situation.
Ji Yu Heng learned that he needed to travel over the weekend and thoughtfully booked a flight ticket for Tu Xiao Ning. Later, Ji Yu Heng and Tang Yu Hui visited a key figure, Mr. Jia, who expressed strong interest in the project and agreed to serve as a financial advisor.
However, when the topic of Ji Yu Heng and Tu Xiao Ning's rumors came up, Mr. Jia seemed somewhat displeased. Ji Yu Heng intended to clear up the misunderstanding, but was interrupted by Tang Yu Hui's ambiguous remarks, further complicating the situation.
