Office Rom-Com Gone Wrong
After work, Liu Danyang gets ambushed by her very persistent admirer Eric (yes, that Eric), who shows up with flowers and a baffling confession: he’s into her because she once punched him. (Ah, toxic romance 101.) Danyang, unsurprisingly, nearly decks him again before coworkers intervene. In a legendary move, she drags a random security guard into the mess, introducing him as her "fiancé" to shoo Eric away. Office gossip group chat officially overloaded.
Chen Yun’er’s Not-So-Glam Moment
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen rallies coworkers to cheer on Chen Yun’er at a competition… only to arrive post-defeat. Backstage, Yun’er overhears snarky comments about her "embarrassing" loss, but the squad saves the day by hyping her up for an impromptu dance session and group selfies. Post-event, Yun’er giddily waves goodbye to idol An Tata, daydreaming about becoming a "hero" like her. Cue the inspirational montage music.
Luo Zhongliang’s Descent Into Chaos
Now, the real drama: Luo Zhongliang’s paternity test confirms the baby is his, but wife Li Na’s done with his nonsense. As she packs to leave, Zhongliang crashes in, literally breaking down the door when he hears their son cry. He begs forgiveness, swearing to change, but Li Na’s out of fcks to give. Things turn dark* when he snatches the baby, threatens to flee, and stabs Li Na’s dad during a carjacking frenzy. (Parenting tip: Don’t do this.)
Trauma Unpacked
Cops track Zhongliang’s tragic backstory: abandoned as a kid, bounced between foster homes, and haunted by abandonment issues. Ye Zhen tries negotiating via phone, but he’s too far gone, ranting about his "perfect family" while speeding toward… an abandoned orphanage? Yep. Zhongliang drags Li Na and the baby there, nostalgically touring his childhood hellhole like it’s a Airbnb. "See this corner? That’s where I cried myself to sleep!" Awkward.
Cliffhanger Alert
As Ye Zhen’s team closes in, Zhongliang monologues about finally feeling "loved" with Li Na and their son. But with cops surrounding the Orphanage and Li Na visibly terrified, this family reunion’s about to go very sideways.
