After Ko Chen leaves, Yu Fei stays at the door for so long a time that Gu Yi almost thinks she has sealed herself again.
“Fei?” Gu Yi walks up to Yu Fei worried, squatting down slightly, and looking straight at her. To his surprise, Yu Fei’s expression is very indifferent, totally different from her tearful expression he imagined before.
As if called back to her consciousness by his words, Yu Fei blinks and whispers slightly, “Go back.”
Gu Yi has to go because of Yu Fei’s order. He looks at Yu Fei for a few more times and makes sure that she isn’t crying. Then he turns to open the door.
Yu Fei does not give Gu Yi a chance to care about her after they enter the room. She just says, “I’m tired, so I’ll go back to my room and have a rest”, and then walks directly into the guest room.
Gu Yi can only watch her back without saying a word.
That night, Yu Fei lay sleepless, staring at the ceiling. She also felt tired, trying to close her eyes several times. But as soon as she closed her eyes, Ko Chen’s hurtful words would appear in her mind three-dimensionally, disturbing her sleep.
Yu Fei finally feels sleepy until dawn comes. She goes to sleep in a daze and when she wakes up again, it is close to noon. She feels her lower abdomen is not very comfortable and she suddenly realizes that she and her baby are hungry.
Caressing her belly with her left hand, she feels that the hardness in her soft belly is so obvious, which makes Yu Fei feel guilty all at once. She closes her eyes painfully and meditates in her heart: Baby, you must give strength to me. I have nothing but you.
Yu Fei’s mind is still wandering when a sudden knock on the door comes, and Gu Yi’s gentle voice rings outside the door, asking if she is awake.
She answers, gets up and simply washes her face. When she looks at herself in the mirror, she finds there are two big dark circles under her eyes. She smiles helplessly.
Out of the room, Gu Yi notices Yu Fei looks very haggard, and he frowns slightly. He worries that she will be lost in various fancies if she stays at home all the time, so he decides to take her  out to eat.
Although Yu Fei doesn’t really want to, she feels embarrassed to let him down, considering his good intention.
Gu Yi chooses a porridge shop. Though Yu Fei has not yet suffered from vomiting, her taste has gradually become picky. Greasy food disagrees with her.
The ordered porridge is quickly delivered to the table. Noticing that Yu Fei still looks unhappy, he tells several jokes, which makes her smile a little.
After eating, they go out of the shop. Just within several steps they hear a familiar female voice, “Yu Fei?”
Yu Fei doesn’t look back but she can recognize the master of the voice. She pauses for a second before turning around. However, she becomes another person in her appearance.
A fierce look sweeps across Yu Yu’s face, making her feel a sense of oppression out of reason.
But she soon rids herself of the oppression. Her eyes keep looking back and forth between Yu Fei and Gu Yi, and she jokes: “You are really charming. You just move out of Ko’s house and soon find another man.”
Her voice is full of bitter sarcasm, indicating that Yu Fei is a lady of easy virtue.
Yu Fei clenches her back teeth, looking at the woman. Noticing that Gu Yi is also there, she doesn’t make it clear, but vaguely reminds her, “Yu Yu, god is watching everything you do. You know what you did. If you forget, I will remember it for you!”
Yu Yu looks stiff. What she referred to is the abortion three years ago and she said before that she still had evidence. Yu Yu is afraid, but she can not show her fear in front of her.
Raising her head, Yu Yu glances at Yu Fei, looking unconcerned, “I forgot? What did I forget? My dear sister, I think it’s you who forgot.” Yu Yu’s eyes are full of vicious light, “Chen chose to believe me originally.”
Hearing the name of Ko Chen from Yu Yu’s mouth, Yu Fei feels a trance for a moment, but it’s only a moment, and soon she comes back to herself, so fast that almost no one finds it.
Yu Fei can’t understand why there could be such a shameless person in the world. She tries to suppress her anger by taking deep breaths. But as long as her eyes focus on Yu Yu’s face, she can’t keep calm.
“Let’s go.” Yu Fei grabs Gu Yi’s arm and turns to leave.
How can Yu Yu let her go so easily? She shouts at her loudly, “Mom and I live very well in Ko’s manor now. But the house is too big. Sometimes it’s boring. Sister, you can come back to see us if you have time.”
Yu Fei stops. Her words make her think of the scene Yu Yu and Wang Fong living in Ko’s house. Her breath quickens and the hand holding Gu Yi’s arm is also exerting force unconsciously.
Gu Yi has been observing Yu Fei’s expression. Seeing that she doesn’t look right, Gu Yi turns back to Yu Yu and shouts, “shut up.”
Yu Yu thought he was a cowardly lion because he said nothing from the beginning, but she didn’t expect that he was a tough guy.
Yu Yu is not the person that can be bullied. She looks back at Gu Yi fearlessly and provocatively,  and raises her eyebrows, “My sister doesn’t speak. What qualifications do you have to shout here?”
Their quarrel attracts many passers-by. Yu Fei hears whispers in the crowd, and she becomes more and more upset. She pulls Gu Yi to break through the crowd and they leave.
Yu Yu holds her arms and proudly looks at the back of the departing Yu Fei. She snickers in heart: Yu Fei, I’m sure Ko’s wife is me.
Yu Yu comes back to Ko’s house and accidentally sees Ko Chen in the yard. He wears a set of smokey household clothes and cuddles a corgi dog and his temperament is much gentler than usual.
Yu Yu comes up with an idea.
She takes out her little mirror, combing her hair and making up again. Making sure that she looks well, then she walks slowly towards Ko Chen.
On walking closer to Ko’s back, Yu Yu is trying to reach out to hold the man. The little dog in Ko’s arms suddenly jumps down and barks at her recklessly, which makes her back several steps. As a result, the high-heeled shoes are accidentally stuck in the grass, which makes Yu Yu fall on all fours.
“Ah…” Yu Yu touches her hip and feels the pain. The dog is still barking at her, which makes her more upset. She is about to stare back, but suddenly remembers that Ko Chen is still near and she has to change her expression in a hurry.
Ko Chen witnesses Yu Yu is putting on a pitiful look. Two big watery eyes look at him, as if she were seeking help silently.
He glances coldly, stooping to pick up the dog and leaves.
