Episode 5

The fifth episode opens with a fond memory.Wu Zhen and Aiyan were immersed in the romantic moment of taking wedding photos, and Aiyan took the opportunity to ask Wu Zhen to make a vow of eternal companionship.He readily agreed, and this promise remains engraved in his heart and has never changed.

This scene neatly connects with the ending of the previous episode. When Zhenren was tipsy, he accidentally called Wu Zhen “Mu Yi”, recalling the good time when the two first met in Thailand, and the scene of Wu Zhen's generous help..Later, she tearfully recounted her tragic experience of losing her son after returning to China, which made Wu Zhen leave in silence, unable to calm down for a long time.

Back at the villa, Aiyan had a sincere conversation with Mi Lai.Ai Yan gently advises Mi Lai not to let emotional turmoil cloud her judgment, especially when dealing with Wu Zhen's feelings, she should stay clear-headed.Although Mi Lai felt unhappy, she left the villa after careful consideration and embarked on the road to work.Fortunately, she accidentally had a real communication with Taiping while riding in the elevator. A smile appeared on her face inadvertently, but then she shyly restrained it, and her heart was filled with waves.

Tai Ping tossed and turned because of confusion about Mi Lai's feelings and couldn't sleep at night.

On the other side, Wu Jin invites Ai Yan out for dinner and tells her affectionately that she is an integral part of his life.However, Aiyan responds rationally, reminding him that the past is history and that after divorce, he should bravely move forward instead of dwelling on past memories.She firmly believes that only by letting go of the past can she find a new direction in life.

Although Wu Zhen strives to prove that he has matured and changed, in Ai Yan's view, apart from material improvements, he has not really touched the core of the problem.She pointedly pointed out that the complicated relationship between them could no longer accommodate more people.Even so, she reminded Wu Zhen to take responsibility for her children.

Meanwhile, Mi-rae and Ae-yeon have lunch and enjoy rare sister time.They chatted about the past events between Aiyan and Wu Zhen, and Aiyan used her own experience to encourage Mi Lai to let go of her worries and give herself some time to rest.

Aiyan is determined, but she still has to face curious inquiries from her neighbors.In the nail salon, she refuted these speculations one by one and emphasized that she hoped Wu Zhen could let go of the past and find new happiness.All this was heard by Zhenren who was listening on the side.She had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt guilty for her behavior, but at the same time she envied Aiyan's family and Wu Zhen's affection.In her drunken state, she almost said Wu Zhen's name, but eventually lost consciousness.Ai Yan accidentally caught a glimpse of a photo of her and Wu Zhen, and complex emotions welled up in her heart, which was unbelievable.

Faced with this sudden impact, Ai Yan fell into emotions of shock and denial, and the outside world speculated whether she was going through a midlife crisis.In the workplace, J-PlusThe company is facing severe tests.The CEO expressed dissatisfaction with the company's failure to reach the top of the list, and the sudden cutoff of supply from the Sokcho factory made the company even worse.The new product launch conference is coming soon, and Milai takes over the task at the critical moment, vowing to turn the tide and save the company.

After learning of Mi-rae's dilemma, Tae-pyeong decides to work with her to tackle the challenge, and they head to meet with the president.Taiping plans to use his personal relationship with the CEO to add weight to the negotiations.Milai was first faced with the CEO's cold attitude. She even knelt down to plead. Although it did not produce immediate results, it paved the way for subsequent development.Taiping's timely appearance, like warm sunshine, not only brought Mi Lai her favorite snacks, but also gave her a comforting hug.Millais eased the tension in a humorous way, using a model airplane“Feed” to the CEO. Although this move seemed a bit funny, it unexpectedly touched the CEO's heartstrings and allowed the conversation to continue.

The plot took a dramatic turn at this point.It turned out that the reason why the president decided to terminate the cooperation was because of an unpleasant experience two years ago.At that time, she hopedJ-PlusHelped promote the diver program, but was ultimately ignored.Millais' frankness and sincerity not only revealed the truth, but also demonstrated her sincerity and confidence in cooperation.She firmly believed that the diver rice cake would become a market favorite. This belief finally convinced the president and brought hope for the restart of the transaction.

At the same time, a profound dialogue also started between Aiyan and Zhenren.Aiyan is full of curiosity and questions about Zhenren's past in Thailand, especially about her relationship with Wu Zhen.Zhenren couldn't speak out and chose to escape.On the other side, Wu Zhen is also struggling with how to become a better father.His cry at the seaside is a torture of his own soul and confusion about the future.When he unexpectedly appears on the beach where Tai Ping and Mi Lai are, everything seems to have new possibilities.However, the revelation of the truth did not bring the expected peace, but instead plunged Wu Zhen into deeper self-blame and struggle.

Mi-rae's anxiety and anger are exacerbated by Hyun-jae's actions.She discovered that Xianzai did not concentrate on preparing for the exam, but was obsessed with his entrepreneurial dream and squandered huge tuition fees.Facing his brother's rebellion and his father's avoidance, Mi Lai felt powerless and angry.The conversation between her and her father was full of gunpowder until Wu Zhen handed over the property rights transfer letter, making the whole situation more complicated and heavy.

Wu Zhen's choice seems to be a kind of sacrifice and letting go, but it is actually an uncertain bet on the relationship between him and Mi Lai.He believes that his departure can prompt Xian Zai to awaken, but Mi Lai thinks this is an escape and irresponsibility.She questioned Wu Zhen and asked him to assume his responsibilities as a father.Aiyan's sudden appearance pushed this emotional storm to a climax.Her doubts and anger towards Wu Zhen were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.In the end, one of Aiyan's eggs not only hit Wu Zhen on the head, but also hit the complex relationship network between the three of them, making everything more complicated and confusing.
