Xing Ren shows her counter designs to Cheng Feng in hopes of gaining some insight into just what We Mi Na wants. This just tears Zi Qi up to see Xing Ren spending time with the designer. He later once again warns Cheng Feng to stay away from her. Older and wiser Cheng Feng informs Zi Qi that if this is how he's going to conduct his relationship with Xing Ren, they won't be together for long. Zi Qi needs to learn to respect Xing Ren and communicate with her.
Since trying to get Yu Cheng Feng to stay away isn't working, Zi Qi goes to Plan B. He plots to get Cheng Feng and Mi Na back together so they can leave Taiwan and go back to Paris.
Xing Ren shows her designs to Mi Na. Mi Na announces she's changed her mind. She's not going to have a Yu Cheng Feng counter in the store. However, she would like to hire Xing Ren on as a personal assistant/manager and take her to Paris. Xing Ren would have to sign a contract and work for at least three years. The job would take her to Paris, New York and Tokyo. The money is very tempting to the poor gal. However, on the con side that would mean leaving her mom behind. And now there's Zi Qi to think about as well.
On Zi Qi's advice, Shi Te Long stands outside the girls' apartment building and serenades Le Le. She threatens him with a pair of shears.
Cheng Feng takes Mi Na out for brunch. They start off alright but end up arguing. Mi Na tells him about her job offer to Xing Ren. He feels Mi Na is using Xing Ren to get to him.
Xing Ren is away from her desk when her cell phone receives a message. Zi Qi takes it upon himself to see what it is. Cheng Feng has texted her, asking if she really wants to go to Paris. Not knowing about the job offer, Zi Qi immediately jumps to the conclusion that Xing Ren is going with Cheng Feng. Xing Ren later clears things up with Zi Qi, yet also jumps all over him (as she should) for reading her private messages. The two argue.
After work, and after a therapy session with his stuffed toy, Zi Qi grabs his guitar and sings an apology to Xing Ren. As he tries to convince her to stay in Taipei, Xing Ren gets a call from Mi Na. She's down on the street corner with a couple of packed bags. She asks if she can stay with Xing Ren for the night. Naturally Xing Ren takes her in. Xing Ren takes everybody in.
Mi Na and Zi Qi get rather plastered that evening and talk about Cheng Feng while a concerned Xing Ren looks on. Drunk Zi Qi promises her he'll get her and Cheng Feng back together. Then he goes to throw up. Mi Na hits that crying-in-her-drink level of drunkenness, asking what's wrong with her, why doesn't Cheng Feng love her anymore? She wants to go home! So Xing Ren has to escort a drunk Mi Na back down to the street and hopefully into a cab. (Gosh, I didn't realize until now just how tall Mi Na is.)
When she comes back upstairs to her apartment, Xing Ren finds Zi Qi passed out on her couch. She takes this opportunity to plant a very chaste kiss on his cheek.
This was the second Kai Er-free episode in a row. I was beginning to think the writers had realizes how useless her character/actress was and had written her off. Unfortunately I see from the previews that she'll be back. Darn. I didn't miss her at all.
