He Qi Zhan then took over when she got home.  He was like the brother she never had.

They then spent the next day chilling and taking selfies where they met Zhao Meng Di who was desperate to get her photos taken for a contest.

Ella was impressed how good a cook Zhiyi was.

After dinner, he showed her a selection of notebooks much like the one she owned.  He then told her to take everything but still unable to give her the notebook because he sent it for repair.

He said it was not his fault and put solely the blame to his dog which shocked Ella.  She told him he must not blame the poor mutt.

Mendi and Qishan are getting close.  He more or less had become her official photographer, minder and assistant.

After their dinner together, Ella told Shiyi to smile more because he looks good smiling.

So Shiyi took this advice to heart and smiled at everyone the next morning at the office.

The people started to get nervous and asked Ella why the boss was behaving strangely.

In the end, Ella told him to cut it out.  Stop smiling already.

Shiyi could not believe that Ella told him to stop smiling when she was the one who advised him to smile more.

He went to Qishan to ask whether he really smile terribly.

Qishan said that Shiyi reminds him of someone in the movie – Valdemort.

Shiyi was so annoyed he told Qishan that he was on duty this weekend.

Hash came to have a random spot check at Shiyi’s company at the same time as Jason instructed to attack Shiyi’s computer system with a virus.

She then went out to dinner with Jason and Shiyi was unhappy about it.

Jason offered her a job in his company.  He said that it was a top job and that he really wanted her to work for him so he could see her everyday.

She said she does not want a high job.  She wanted a reception job.

Episode 24

I thought the last 4 episodes went downhill. Jason was fobbed off with Yelin. It made the story like they had to wrap it nicely so he gets his token partner which was so wrong, it did not work! He deserved a better match, not the fourth FL after all Jason had the dimples. LOL
