On the next day, Gu Yi comes back to work at Ko Company with the permission of Duan Qingfeng. Before his arrival, the news that he will come back prevails in the whole company and excites all the staff whose nerves are finally at ease.

“President Ko, this is the stock market quotation.” “President Ko, this is our latest financial statement. Also as for previous cases, our cooperators have shown their willingness to continue.” “President Ko, we have news that a few companies headed by Gu Company unite a new company to make an economic revival plan.”... Staff keep coming to his office and sending emails to him in the whole morning. It is already noon before he knows it because he doesn’t notice the time when dealing with the company matters.

Ko Chen is a well-known workaholic. Before his secretary goes for lunch, she is considering whether to remind Ko Chen of lunch. There is no reaction inside after knocking on the door a few times and she is scared that Ko Chen will suddenly faint in his office like last time. So she opens the door regardless of everything, only to find Ko Chen is engaged in working at his office table. She tries to call him several times, but he does not react as if his ears were stuffed with earplugs. Seeing this, she dismisses the idea of bringing lunch for him and retreats silently.

The moment the secretary goes into the elevator, Tan Lin walks out from another elevator with her fully-prepared “home-made lunch”. As this is her first time to visit Ko Company, she can’t help looking around carefully and finds that the environment represents Ko Chen’s consistent style: simple.

She knocks at the door of his office, but there is no response inside. Tan Lin guesses that he might go for lunch, because she didn’t call to tell him her coming in order to give Ko Chen a surprise. Lowering her head, Tan Lin takes a look at the home-made lunch and decides to put it in the Ko Chen’s office, so that at least he can see it when he is back.

She opens the door. Her original thought is to put it on the office table so that he can find it at the first sight when he is back. But unexpectedly, the man behind the office table comes into her sight. He wears a pair of black frame glasses, and when he concentrates on work, his appearance is so charming that Tan Lin loses her mind at the door and it is after a few seconds that she manages to come back to herself. She walks to the office table and puts the home-made lunch on it.

Ko Chen hasn’t raised his head since she opened the door and entered the office, as if he has not noticed her coming at all. Tan Lin glances at the files in his hands and finds that “Lin Xiu Company” appears several times. An imperceptible smile emerges on her face. It is faint and disappears in a flash.

“Chen? Ko Chen?” She calls his name, but Ko Chen still doesn’t have any response. Until Tan Lin walks to poke his arms does Ko Chen have a shudder and leave his work. He takes off the glasses and looks at Tan Lin with confusion, as if silently asking her why she is here. Tan Lin raises the paper bag in her hand with a big smile, “I come to bring you the lunch. I know you definitely won’t eat when engaged in work.”

At the same time, she sets the dishes. Ko Chen didn’t feel hungry when engaged in work before, but now his stomach is growling and he does feel hungry when smelling the smell of the delicious food. Tan Lin passes the chopsticks to Ko Chen. As if claiming credit, she says, “Have a try.” Seeing the food in front of him is just for one person, he doesn’t eat immediately. Looking at Tan Lin, he asks with his eyebrows raised, “You don’t eat?” Resting her chin on her hands, she looks at him with her big bright eyes. Her passionate eyes may make a common person shy, but Ko Chen is not an average man, and he doesn’t even miss a beat. Finding that she has no intention to eat, Ko Chen doesn’t ask further and starts to eat.

However, putting one piece into his mouth, Ko Chen is stunned for a second. He thought it was bought outside, but now it turns out that it is made by Tan Lin herself. Ko Chen is picky about food, so he puts down the chopsticks after tasting it. Tan Lin is absorbed in watching him with her chin resting on her hands. Seeing that he doesn’t eat, she asks anxiously, “Why don’t you eat it? Is it not good?” Ko Chen doesn’t admit it and just says that he is full.

Tan Lin doesn’t think much and puts away the lunch box buoyantly, then she sits down on the sofa in the office and starts to read a magazine at ease. Ko Chen is confused for she doesn’t have tendency to leave. Thinking twice, he decides to say nothing and lets Tan Lin stay in his office. He is engaged in his work again.

Lunch time is over, and the secretary brings a file for Ko Chen to sign, but little does she think that there will be an unknown woman in his office. Her surprise isn’t shown outwardly except for her peeping at the unknown woman. Walking out of the office with the file signed, she is still thinking about Tan Lin whom she just saw. The woman wears sexy and wavy hair, delicate and decent make-up, and obviously expensive branded clothes, which suggests she must be born in a rich family. But soon the secretary shakes her head and thinks that she cares about too much and she should not care about her boss’s privacy. So she immediately forgets Tan Lin and concentrates on her work.

In the office, Tan Lin stays in the office so quietly as if she isn’t there. She makes no sound except that she occasionally turns over pages. At first Ko Chen would glance at her from time to time, and later he is so preoccupied with dealing with files that he leaves her alone. The office is pretty quiet.

On the other side, at Yu Fei’s home, Yu Fei has stayed at home for several days and her bones get sore now. Seeing the sun outside through the window, she feels that every cell in her body is crying for going out. As a result, Yu Fei decides to hang out. She just changes into leisure clothes and ties a simple ponytail, but she is still shining even without any make-up.

The instant the door is closed, Gu Yi calls her. He hasn’t contacted her for several days, so she has no idea why he suddenly calls her. She connects it with confusion. “Fei, where are you?” His tender and hoarse voice is delivered from the phone, which unexpectedly sounds kind of Ko Chen’s voice. It scares Yu Fei so much that she doesn’t respond to him. Hearing no response, Gu Yi is afraid that something bad has happened to Yu Fei and he calls her name aloud hurriedly. Then Yu Fei comes to herself and answers him, which relaxes Gu Yi. His voice is full of love without any blame, “Don’t scare me, Fei, everything about you will worry me.”
