Episode 16 recap: Sun Hanhai Learns About Zhou Bin's Remarriage
In Episode 16, Zhou Bin visits Zeng Cheng to bring her lunch and asks what she's thinking about. Zeng Cheng recalls the time when Baidu was just becoming popular; she spent a long time teaching her mother how to use it. However, when she returned home, she discovered that her mother’s search history was filled with queries about how to deal with a cheating husband. Zeng Cheng mentions that she peeked through the door and saw her mother crying in secret.
Zeng Cheng reflects on her father, whom she loved dearly, and asks Zhou Bin if her test results are really bad. She asserts that no matter what the results indicate, she will not remarry Zhou Bin. Zhou Bin reassures her that regardless of the results or their marital status, he will always care for her.
When Han Su enters the office, her colleagues cheer for her, and Lawyer Hu presents her with a bouquet of flowers. The excitement stems from Han Su successfully signing a contract with Gao Peng, who even sent an email praising her diligence and professionalism. The senior partners at the law firm are delighted and decide to appoint Han Su as the project lead.
Lawyer Hu calls Han Su over and mentions her intention to nominate Han Su for the Best Lawyer award this year. Han Su expresses her gratitude for Hu’s support, to which Hu replies that Han Su earned it herself. Later, Han Su celebrates her contract win with He Zhi Nan, joking that she’s never met such a clueless client.
Han Su shares that her cooking has been criticized in the past, prompting He Zhi Nan to ask if it was by an ex-boyfriend. Han Su, aware of He Zhi Nan's situation with Qu Yi Peng, feels there's not much to discuss. However, He Zhi Nan insists, and Han Su eventually reveals that her ex has moved on with someone else. He Zhi Nan is surprised that someone could steal a partner away from Han Su, but Han Su believes their breakup wasn’t anyone’s fault; they were simply too rational and realistic, which led to their separation.
He Zhi Nan confides in Han Su that she had feelings for someone else in Jiangzhou, finding Gao Peng to be like a robot who only chats on WeChat. Just then, a boy unexpectedly enters her life, and she falls for him.
Han Su urged her to stop talking, and He Zhi Nan asked why. Han Su explained that she and Gao Peng were partners and had nothing to fear from her telling tales. He Zhi Nan reassured her that their relationship was strong enough for that not to happen. Han Su wanted to confess her feelings about Qu Yi Peng, but just as she began to speak, He Zhi Nan's phone rang. It was Sun Hanhai calling, who informed her that she had intentionally arranged to meet Zhou Bin at the seminar where Zeng Cheng would be present.
He Zhi Nan questioned whether Sun Hanhai really wanted to do that, to which Sun Hanhai insisted she needed to see for herself. When Zhou Bin arrived, Sun Hanhai took his hand and led him toward the seminar, just as Zeng Cheng spotted them. Zeng Cheng stepped out, and Zhou Bin quickly pulled his hand away from Sun Hanhai.
Zhou Bin realized that the two women were trying to confront him. He stated that he needed to leave first. Zeng Cheng urged him to tell Sun Hanhai the truth. Reluctantly, Zhou Bin admitted that he had remarried Zeng Cheng. Upon hearing Zhou Bin confirm it, Sun Hanhai burst into tears as Zeng Cheng linked her arm with Zhou Bin and walked away.
Crying, Sun Hanhai left and moved out of the apartment Zhou Bin had arranged for her. He Zhi Nan asked Han Su what perfect love was, and Han Su replied that love is most perfect before it even begins. She recounted how, in high school, a boy used to bring her steamed buns and chocolates every day, yet they never spoke a word to each other after graduation.
Meanwhile, Gao Peng was in a meeting with Han Su and the company staff when He Zhi Nan called him away urgently. Gao Peng asked why she needed him back so quickly. He Zhi Nan offered him some of the roasted meat she had prepared, but after tasting it, he spit it out. He told her that his company was going public, and he didn’t have time for these “make-believe games.” He started to leave to return to the office.
After Han Su and Gao Peng finished their meeting, they chatted for a bit. Gao Peng expressed that he was seen as just a wealthy fool by others, but he wanted to achieve something to show his parents. He asked Han Su to help him, and she assured him that she would.
Han Su also thanked Gao Peng for praising her in front of their superiors, to which he replied that she deserved it.
