The Unveiling of the Will
In this episode, the contents of Mr. Lin’s will are revealed, and Lin Xintong must grapple with the implications of her father’s final wishes.
A Disappointing Inheritance
Lawyer Wang officially announces the contents of Mr. Lin’s will. Lin Xintong learns that Chi Shan’s hopes have been dashed, and she also realizes that Qin Moyao had not deceived her. The will mentions only sixty million in cash and three houses left to her by her father, with no mention of the shares in the Hongfu Group that he personally founded. Chi Shan looks on with disappointment as Lin Xintong calmly approves the document. They inquire about the whereabouts of the shares, but Lawyer Wang explains that this information is beyond his purview.
A Candid Confrontation
While walking down the road, Zhou Mo intercepts Lin Xintong and reproaches her, suggesting that although her eyes have healed, her heart remains blind. He points out that she fails to recognize the extent of Qin Moyao’s efforts for her. Lin Xintong explains that Qin Moyao was merely performing his duties as a bodyguard and that there’s no need for such concern. Zhou Mo passionately retorts that Qin Moyao’s deep care is rooted in his affection for Lin Xintong. He questions whether she feels anything in return. Lin Xintong is taken aback by his words, and Zhou Mo hands her a USB drive containing information he gathered about Xia Yuwei. He then turns and expresses his desire to part ways, hoping never to see her again.
A Heartfelt Decision
Back at home, Qin Moyao languishes on the sofa amidst the disarray of his surroundings. In a surprising turn of events, Lin Xintong calls him and informs him of her impending visit. As Qin Moyao hurries to open the door, Lin Xintong enters and presents him with an agreement. She expresses her intention to hire him as her personal assistant starting from that day forward.
A Bold Declaration
Curious about her choice to trust him, Qin Moyao asks Lin Xintong why she has made this decision. Lin Xintong asserts that if he had ill intentions, he could have acted upon them long ago. She shares that what truly influenced her was Zhou Mo’s revelation that he harboured feelings for her. Qin Moyao blushes momentarily but then boldly admits that he does indeed have affection for her and sees no reason to be ashamed of it.
This episode marks a pivotal moment in the relationship between Lin Xintong and Qin Moyao as they make a heartfelt connection based on trust and genuine feelings.
