Episode 15 recap: Zhou Bin Asks Zeng Cheng for Reconciliation
In Episode 15, Zhou Bin arrives with their divorce certificate and other documents, seeking reconciliation with Zeng Cheng. Zeng Cheng questions whether he is asking or pleading for her to remarry him. Zhou Bin clarifies that he is indeed pleading for her to consider their reunion. He asks Zeng Cheng what further punishment she has in mind for him. Zeng Cheng retorts that he shouldn’t think she orchestrated everything behind the scenes.
Zhou Bin insists he hasn’t thought that way, but acknowledges that Zeng Cheng is capable of it. Zeng Cheng challenges him, asking if he is willing to give up his love for a small gain right in front of him. Zhou Bin counters that those are two different matters, stating that she asked him to think about remarrying, and he has made his decision.
He expresses that he doesn’t mind if she doesn’t want to deal with their business troubles. Zeng Cheng comments on his newfound boldness, prompting Zhou Bin to apologize and take full responsibility for damaging their relationship. He admits he was wrong, but Zeng Cheng questions whether he expects her to forgive him just because he admits to cheating.
Zhou Bin argues that his infidelity doesn’t absolve Zeng Cheng of her issues. After years of their marriage, he feels less like her husband and more like her son. Zeng Cheng asks if he’s truly discussing reconciliation or if this feels more like a divorce.
Zhou Bin laments how wronged he feels in their home. Zeng Cheng responds that if he feels so oppressed, a remarriage would only lead to another divorce. She warns that they would turn into petty individuals fighting over assets. Zhou Bin asks if Zeng Cheng has never considered reconciliation, to which she angrily walks away.
Meanwhile, He Zhi Nan arrives at Gao Peng's company with some items. Gao Peng asks her to wait in his office for a bit while he finds her. He Zhi Nan clarifies that she isn’t there to see him; she came because she heard Han Su was having a meeting there. Just then, Han Su exits, mentioning she only has a half-hour for lunch and can’t join He Zhi Nan.
He Zhi Nan responds that she knows, which is why she brought lunch for them both. They leave together, leaving a hungry Gao Peng behind. After reading an article by He Zhi Nan on her public account, Han Su was impressed and offers to help her discover other popular accounts for her to learn from.
Han Su encourages He Zhi Nan to write articles for her public account. While shopping, He Zhi Nan sees a dress that would be perfect for Han Su and decides to buy it as a gift. Meanwhile, Xin Jie calls Sun Han Han, urging her to attend Zeng Cheng's meeting. Sun Han Han asks if she can skip it, but Xin Jie insists that Zeng Cheng specifically requested her presence, as Sun Han Han is the lead on the case.
After the meeting, Sun Han Han waits for Zeng Cheng to thank her for speaking up on her behalf, but Zeng Cheng clarifies that she wasn’t helping her; it was her own issue, and if things go wrong, it could lead to financial losses. Zeng Cheng states that she would act this way even if it were just for show. She tells Sun Han Han to quickly revise the proposal so they won’t have to see each other again.
Sun Han Han calls He Zhi Nan to share this news, and He Zhi Nan asks if she still believes in Zhou Bin. Sun Han Han admits that Zhou Bin has been calling and texting her. She adds that if Zhou Bin truly remarries Zeng Cheng and then divorces her for personal gain, she would have a low opinion of him.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bin is overwhelmed with work. Zeng Cheng calls him to say she’s helping him, which puts him slightly at ease. While chatting with Gao Peng, He Zhi Nan learns that Gao Peng may not use Han Su as the company’s lawyer, which makes her worry about Han Su's future.
She visits Han Su at her law firm and brings the documents she had on Gao Peng’s desk, hoping to help. Han Su asks why she wants to assist her, and He Zhi Nan replies that it’s because they are good friends. This remark reminds Han Su of her high school desk mate, who said the same thing, but she ended up losing her best friend. Han Su confides in Zhong Shu, and as she speaks, she starts to cry.
Zhong Shu tells her that this is part of growing up and advises her not to lose her good friends again. Meanwhile, Zhou Bin learns that Zeng Cheng has collapsed and rushes to the hospital. The doctor informs him that she is experiencing side effects from the ovulation injections she received earlier, warning that the worst-case scenario could lead to paralysis. Zhou Bin expresses his desire to stay and care for Zeng Cheng, but she tells him she has hired a caregiver.
