Although Tong Mengdi has never admitted that she likes He Yao over the years, those around her, whether it's Hu Mingkai or Liu Lian, can tell that Tong Mengdi actually has feelings for He Yao. And just as Hu Mingkai said, Tong Mengdi's breakup with him was a long-planned move. Although Hu Mingkai still suspects that there is something ambiguous between Tong Mengdi and He Yao, it has to be said that Hu Mingkai loves Tong Mengdi. Although Tong Mengdi was serious about breaking up this time and it seems that her decision is irreversible, Hu Mingkai still doesn't want to give up easily and hopes to reconcile with Tong Mengdi through Liu Lian. Although Peng Hao has been reasoning with Liu Lian, hoping that she will stop meddling in Tong Mengdi's affairs and, even more so, not interfere with Tong Mengdi's decision, seeing how Tong Mengdi treats Hu Mingkai, Liu Lian still feels sorry for Hu Mingkai. However, since Liu Lian can't persuade Tong Mengdi, she has no choice but to turn her attention to He Yao again, because she knows that Tong Mengdi still listens to He Yao. After much consideration, Liu Lian decides to make an appointment with He Yao, hoping that he can persuade Tong Mengdi. Today, Liu Lian invited He Yao. At first, He Yao refused. But Liu Lian didn't give up and kept contacting He Yao. Helplessly, He Yao had to agree to meet Liu Lian. After work today, He Yao met with Liu Lian. After ordering something, He Yao immediately asked:

"What's so important that we have to meet and talk about it?"

"He Yao, I want you to persuade Mengdi," Liu Lian said.

He Yao asked curiously, "Persuade Mengdi? What do you mean? I don't understand."

"Hu Mingkai has always wanted to get back together with her, but her attitude..."

"Do you want me to persuade her?"

"I knew you were smart," Liu Lian said with a smile.

"Liu Lian, you misunderstand me. Although I know you're doing this for her own good, this is after all a matter between two people. Isn't it not appropriate for us as friends to interfere too much?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that this is a matter between two people after all. As friends, we shouldn't interfere too much. If Hu Mingkai really wants to reconcile, let him talk to Tong Mengdi himself. What's the use of him asking us? We can't influence her decision. She doesn't love Hu Mingkai anymore. Even if we force them to get back together, they won't be happy. I think you understand such a simple truth, don't you?"

Although He Yao has made his words very clear, Liu Lian doesn't understand. Because she thinks that Tong Mengdi likes He Yao and that Tong Mengdi is so beautiful, so He Yao can't really be so indifferent. Originally, Liu Lian thought that there was an ambiguous relationship between He Yao and Tong Mengdi, so He Yao naturally hopes that Tong Mengdi will break up, which is contrary to what He Yao said that he and Tong Mengdi are just friends. So, listening to He Yao's words, Liu Lian is still a bit angry. Then she looks at He Yao and continues:

"She doesn't love Hu Mingkai anymore? Why didn't I see that? Did she tell you that?"

"Liu Lian, can you please stop being so sarcastic? The problem between Tong Mengdi and Hu Mingkai has nothing to do with me at all," He Yao said.

Liu Lian said, "Since that's the case, then please help persuade her."

"Sorry, I can't help you. Do you have anything else? If not, I'll leave now."

"He Yao, He Yao."

"I've already paid the bill. You can eat slowly."

Although Liu Lian kept trying to persuade He Yao to stay and wanted to make things clear with him, He Yao simply ignored her and left immediately. Although both Hu Mingkai and Liu Lian have had many misunderstandings about him over the years, He Yao still endures it for Tong Mengdi's sake. But today, He Yao is still very angry about Liu Lian's behavior, so he directly makes an appointment with Tong Mengdi, wanting to talk to her about Liu Lian. In the evening, while Tong Mengdi is having dinner at home, she receives a WeChat message from He Yao asking her to go to his place. Although Tong Mengdi says that she doesn't want to go out today and that they can talk about anything at the company tomorrow, He Yao is very insistent today and still wants to see her, saying that he will be waiting for her at home. Hearing He Yao say this, Tong Mengdi is a bit worried. So, she puts on her coat and drives to He Yao's apartment. She rings the doorbell and waits for a while before He Yao opens the door. However, what Tong Mengdi sees is a He Yao reeking of alcohol. Tong Mengdi leads He Yao in, wipes his face for him (it should be "wipes his face" instead of "wipes a sword" as it doesn't make sense in this context), and immediately asks with concern:

"What's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?"

"Tong Mengdi, if you really can't make up your mind, just forgive Hu Mingkai. That way, I won't be misunderstood," He Yao said.

Tong Mengdi said, "How much did you drink? You're talking nonsense again."

"It's not nonsense. Liu Lian said that I'm pestering you."

"This Liu Lian."

"I know she means well and that she cares about you, but her words..."

"I know, but I don't like others interfering in my feelings, especially when it comes to my love life."

Indeed, Tong Mengdi really hates others interfering in her relationships. Whether it's Hu Mingkai or Liu Lian, it's all the same to her. In Tong Mengdi's heart, she likes He Yao, but she hasn't taken any action. So, Liu Lian and Hu Mingkai have no right to criticize her. Tong Mengdi doesn't say much and just drinks. Although He Yao keeps trying to stop her, he can't. Tong Mengdi gets drunk, and He Yao has no choice but to carry her to the bedroom. He Yao puts Tong Mengdi on the bed. When he gets up and is just about to leave, Tong Mengdi opens her eyes at that moment. The two of them look at each other, and Tong Mengdi's lips approach the corner of He Yao's mouth. Although He Yao tries to dodge, Tong Mengdi still kisses him. Just like that, the two of them have a relationship. Although it's not Tong Mengdi's first time, He Yao still feels a bit guilty in this situation. After it's over, He Yao smokes a cigarette but still doesn't dare to look into Tong Mengdi's eyes. Looking at his appearance, it's actually Tong Mengdi who speaks first.

"He Yao, you don't have to blame yourself. We're both adults. I'm not a little girl. I won't make a fuss and ask you to take responsibility for me," Tong Mengdi said.

"Mengdi, I..." He Yao seems a bit regretful.

Tong Mengdi said, "I know what you want to say, but I don't want to hear it."

"..." He Yao remains silent.

"Do you regret it?" Tong Mengdi asked.

"No, I just wasn't prepared and don't know how to face you."

"He Yao, anyway, the company doesn't allow dating. Let's just keep it like this for now."

"Okay, I promise you."

Maybe just as Tong Mengdi said, because of the company's decision, or perhaps because both of them weren't ready, the two decide not to make their relationship public for the time being. Due to an accident between them, the two start an underground relationship. At first, they are very sweet, but after all, Tong Mengdi is a woman, so in her heart, love is still very important. However, in He Yao's heart, the most important thing is still his work. So, Tong Mengdi gradually finds that He Yao is simply unwilling to admit their relationship and only wants to continue this underground relationship with her. Just because of the different mentalities of the two of them, their relationship is affected, and the result is...
