Both of them thus hold grudges against each other because of this incident. Meanwhile, Sik Sik's boyfriend Ching Zin Bok (Matt Yeung) proposes to her and they held their engagement ceremony back in Hong Kong. When Sik Sik thinks she's the world's most blissful bride, a clip of her boyfriend cheating on her was played during the engagement ceremony. With a broken heart, Sik Sik goes to Malaysia where she meets Kung Zi again at her workplace. From then, both of them developed good feelings for each other. Zin Bok's sister Ching Zin Zan (Lin Xiawei) supports her best friend decision to break up with her brother instead of forgiving him. Under Sik Sik's introduction, Zin Zan gets to know chef Cin Jun (Tony Hung) and starts learning cooking from him.
