At a high-end hotel banquet, Chen Li unexpectedly encountered Gu Jingchen, the man she had been searching for over the years. Excitedly, she approached him to confirm his identity, but Gu Jingchen denied knowing her, leaving Chen Li confused and disappointed.
Li Xue stood nearby, observing coldly. She understood Gu Jingchen's true identity but chose to remain silent. Chen Li's outburst drew the attention of those around her, who began to whisper and judge her for her lack of decorum. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Jingchen publicly criticized Chen Li's behavior, further deepening her predicament.
Seeing Chen Li in distress, Li Xue decided she could no longer hold back. She stepped forward to condemn Chen Li's actions, pointing out that Chen Li had introduced Liu Wen to her despite knowing Liu Wen had feelings for someone else, which was unethical. Faced with Li Xue's accusations, Chen Li was at a loss for words; her worldview began to crumble as she struggled to understand how things had spiraled into this situation.
Throughout the exchange between Li Xue and Chen Li, Gu Jingchen played the role of a protector. He gently reminded Li Xue not to drink, as her health was not suitable for it. This scene shocked Chen Li even more; she realized that the relationship between Li Xue and Gu Jingchen was far from ordinary.
Gu Jingchen then told Chen Li that he did not want to hear anyone mention Li Xue's ex in his presence, which filled Chen Li with humiliation and pain. Overwhelmed by emotion, she began to cry.
At that moment, Jing Shen appeared and noticed Chen Li in tears. He approached her with concern and asked what had happened. Unable to respond, Chen Li felt as though her world was undergoing tremendous upheaval.
Jing Shen immediately sought to comfort her and turned his attention to question Li Xue and Gu Jingchen. His disdain for Li Xue was evident; he believed she was unworthy of being associated with Chen Li. In response, Li Xue retorted that she was not Chen Li's babysitter and did not need to follow her around all the time.
With Jing Shen's comfort, Chen Li's emotions began to settle somewhat. She attempted to explain that she was fine and that no one was bullying her. However, her eyes betrayed a sense of longing and loss for what she had with Li Xue.
Jing Shen remained oblivious to the shift in Chen Li's emotions as he continued expressing dissatisfaction with both Li Xue and Gu Jingchen for failing to take care of her. In a sarcastic tone, Li Xue replied that she was not a babysitter and did not need to bear all responsibility for Chen Li.
Old Master Jing also arrived on the scene and apologized to Gu Jingchen, hoping he could forgive Jing Shen's rude behavior. Under his grandfather's urging, Jing Shen reluctantly apologized to Gu Jingchen while feeling a deep sense of humiliation inside.
Gu Jingchen demanded that Jing Shen apologize to Li Xue, as she was his girlfriend. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jing Shen had no choice but to bow his head to Li Xue, which filled him with great shame.
Seeing Jing Shen's predicament, Chen Li stepped forward to apologize to Li Xue on his behalf, hoping she could forgive Jing Shen's rude behavior. Li Xue accepted Chen Li's apology, but inside, she felt a whirlwind of emotions; she realized that her relationship with Chen Li had completely shattered.
As the banquet neared its end, Liu Wen hurriedly arrived at the scene, dressed in a neat suit and tightly holding a diamond ring he had prepared for Li Xue. However, when he saw Li Xue nestled in Gu Jingchen's embrace, he felt shocked and unfamiliar with the situation.
Li Xue confirmed to Liu Wen that they had broken up and that she was now dating Gu Jingchen. Liu Wen couldn't accept this reality and tried to win Li Xue back, but her attitude was resolute. Gu Jingchen warned Liu Wen not to entangle himself with Li Xue any further, or he would not be polite.
As Li Xue was leaving, she said something meaningful to Liu Wen, asking about Chen Li's child's gender, which made Liu Wen realize that Li Xue had undergone a transformation. He felt despair and helplessness, understanding that she was no longer the person she used to be.
Sitting in the car, Li Xue gazed out at the scenery, her emotions complex. Everything had caught her off guard. She turned to Gu Jingchen and softly asked, "How did you know I was here?"
Gu Jingchen smiled slightly and replied, "I just knew."
Li Xue paused for a moment and asked, "Did you follow me?"
He shook his head. "I’m not that free."
Furrowing her brow, she pressed on, "Then how did you know?"
After a brief silence, Gu Jingchen quietly said, "Because I’ve been paying attention to you."
Li Xue was taken aback. "You..."
Gu Jingchen looked at her with deep eyes. As she met his gaze, warmth surged within her. She smiled softly and whispered, "Thank you."
Gu Jingchen nodded slightly, remaining silent.
The car continued to drive, stopping about half an hour later in front of Li Xue's house.
Li Xue got out and waved at Gu Jingchen, saying, "Bye-bye."
Gu Jingchen smiled and waved back, replying, "Goodbye."
