Qiao Corporation was acquired, and Qiao Ran, for the sake of her father, had no choice but to go to Gu Huai's side to steal the acquisition contract of Qiao Group. Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed by Gu Huai. Gu Huai told Qiao Ran that if she wanted to regain Qiao Corporation, she had to make him happy, but Qiao Ran refused to agree. Just when Qiao Ran was at a loss, her childhood sweetheart Ji Chen returned and proposed to her. Upon learning of their engagement, Gu Huai felt jealous. Qiao Ran, seeing Lu Wanru and Gu Huai behaving intimately, felt bitter in her heart. When Qiao Ran and Ji Chen left Yun City with Qiao's father, they were intercepted by Gu Huai. Gu Huai revealed his identity, and Qiao's father regretted deeply upon learning the truth, collapsing from a recurring illness. Before his death, he entrusted Gu Huai to take care of his daughter. Unable to bear the fact of her father's passing, Qiao Ran planned to commit suicide but was saved by Gu Huai. Gu Huai felt deeply guilty and questioned whether everything he had done was right, testing the sincerity between them.
