The next day, Litao asks her sister how long they've been talking. Litao tells her that she's just finished her job at the rival company. She's worried that the woman she likes is going to become Litao's enemy, and that the zhongs are going to use her as an instrument against them. She tells Litao that he can't be so worried, because even if Litao messes with him one day, she'll still come back to him. He says that he's worked hard to keep his career and his relationship separate since he got out of prison, and he'll never give up his job. She asks if he loves her, but he says he doesn't love her. He's disappointed that he didn't get Litao to call or visit him for the next few days. He feels like he has lost everything in his life. He asks her to take him home, but she refuses, saying that he looks bad. She says that she can go back home by herself, and she can drive him home. He tells her not to tell him not to go out with men, because he wants to fight Litao. She reminds him that he is sick, so he won't have any interest in fighting her. She also tells him that they're not employees of the company, and they shouldn't drink together. He tries to sneak out, but both of them prevent him from doing so. He wants to explain to Litao about his family and the family, but now he has nothing to say.
