At the door he asks her why she's avoiding him. Then asks why she isn't wearing the necklace? Does she think wearing it would give a different meaning? Does she not like it?
In the conversation, The necklace = his affections towards her.
After ep 22 i think i dont like shao yichen anymore. I dislike him
On the contrary, the character maintains his image for the viewers.
He has been single for something close to a year, an old friend is constantly showing interest in him, they have good understanding and she seems to be the kind of person with whom he can have the kind of life he wants.
They get together and when old friends confront her, he tries to save her by saying he initiated it. He's the kind of character who would do that for his girl, whoever it was.
There's a business ethics analysis done on this part. The part where he scolded her for using his name is he didn't…
It was not only the business ethics aspect of it, he was worried about her image as well. In the first case, she was showcasing an inappropriate relationship with HT and he made her realize that in the stairwell scene.
In the second scenario, he was introducing someone in whose company he has invested and when the most powerful member of a gathering gives someone importance (regardless of their gender) the others tend to treat the person respectfully as well.
Ithe hero and heroine finally had sex! I love watching their lips stick together when they kiss, it feels so inseparable~…
That's fine then, I'm not going to comment anymore on this as it's your field of study, not mine.
My initial reply about the story not going as you say was about the grandpa forcing ML to marry SFL for the company and ML refusing and getting kicked out of the company.

He would be hurt and clueless as to why she's avoiding him, because for him, they should've become a couple since then.
