Xiao Zhan's possessive and jealousy surfaces when a new, attractive client, Mr. Lin, begins frequenting Wang's Cooperation for business meetings.

Despite Mr. Lin's professional demeanor, his charm and charisma don't go unnoticed by Xiao Zhan, who has been accompanying Wang Yibo more often to the office.

One afternoon, as Xiao Zhan waits for Wang Yibo in his office, he observes Mr. Lin and Wang Yibo engaging in a friendly conversation.

Mr. Lin's laughter and the way he leans in slightly make Xiao Zhan's jealousy flare.

Although he knows Wang Yibo is devoted to him, the ease with which Mr. Lin interacts with his husband unsettles him.

Determined to stay composed, Xiao Zhan joins them, putting on his most charming smile. "Hello, Mr. Lin. I see you're keeping my husband busy," he says lightly, slipping his arm around Wang Yibo's waist possessively.

Mr. Lin smiles back, seemingly oblivious to the tension. "Just discussing some future projects. Your husband is quite the visionary."

Wang Yibo senses Xiao Zhan's unease and places a reassuring hand on his back. "Yes, but right now, I'm looking forward to lunch with my beautiful husband. Shall we?"

As they leave, Wang Yibo leans in and whispers, "You know you're the only one for me, right?"

Xiao Zhan nods, his heartwarming at the reassurance. "I know. But I can't help it sometimes."

Later that evening, they discuss the incident over dinner. Wang Yibo takes Xiao Zhan's hand, his eyes filled with sincerity. "I love you, Zhan. There's no room for anyone else in my heart."

Xiao Zhan smiles, feeling a bit foolish for his jealousy but also grateful for Wang Yibo's constant reassurance. "I love you too, Yibo-ge. I guess I just needed to hear that."

Their moment is interrupted by Shean, who runs up to them with a drawing. "Look, Daddy! I drew our family!"

The picture shows Wang Yibo, Xiao Zhan, Shean, and a baby, reminding them of their growing family and the love that binds them together.

A week has passed since the incident with Mr. Lin, but Xiao Zhan's mood swings begin to intensify. His jealousy over Mr. Lin still lingers, and his hormonal fluctuations make him more irritable. The slightest thing seems to set him off, including innocent comments or gestures from Wang Yibo.

One evening, as they prepare dinner together, Xiao Zhan snaps when Wang Yibo accidentally spills a little sauce on the countertop. "Can't you be more careful? You're always so clumsy!" Xian Zhan's voice is sharp, and he quickly regrets his outburst when he sees the hurt in Wang Yibo's eyes.

Wang Yibo sighs but keeps his tone calm. "I'm sorry, Zhan. I'll clean it up. It was just a mistake."

The following day, Xiao Zhan accompanies Wang Yibo to a business lunch.
