00:00:00Who does that? Having your assistant handle something like marriage, forget it. Better
00:00:08not to make a fuss. Better to avoid trouble. Hello?
00:00:12Fine, thank you. Ma'am, now that the marriage certificate is ready, I'll be leaving first.
00:00:18Oh, by the way, I've sent Mr. Chi's phone number to your mobile.
00:00:28Anything you need, just swipe. The pin is your birthday.
00:00:32Take this card back. Since it's a contract marriage anyway, there's no need for us to
00:00:35see each other in the future.
00:00:50Regarding my dad's situation? I have no idea what the Chi family sees in
00:00:54you insisting on having you marry into their family. But don't worry, even though I'm your
00:00:59stepmom, once I get the contract with the Chi Corporation, I'll make sure everything
00:01:04concerning your dad in prison is taken care of.
00:01:09Mr. Chi, the marriage certificate has been processed. The lady refused your black card.
00:01:14She mentioned there's no need to meet in the future because there would be no further connection.
00:01:18Got it. Let's head back to the company.
00:01:34What am I going to do now?
00:01:36That counselor is really awful. Back when your dad was still okay, she was all respectful
00:01:40to you. Now that your family has fallen on hard times, not only does she give you a demerit
00:01:45for missing an exam, but she even wants to call your parents. Honestly, she's just trying
00:01:50to embarrass you.
00:01:51My stepmom definitely won't come to get a telling off from the counselor. But apart
00:01:55from her, the only family I have left is my grandma. And she's sick right now.
00:02:01Didn't you get married? You could ask your husband.
00:02:04Just forget it. We're just husband and wife in name. He couldn't care less about me.
00:02:08How will you know if you don't try?
00:02:09Hey, what are you doing?
00:02:15Qingqing, don't tell me that handsome guy is your husband.
00:02:43I have no idea either. I've never met him.
00:02:51The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Guess nobody's answering. Looks
00:02:55like handsome guys just aren't in your fate.
00:02:57Qingqing, think of something, please. I really don't want to delay my graduation.
00:03:01Why don't you just find someone online to pretend to be your parent and come to school?
00:03:06That'll do it.
00:03:12Regarding the investment in Jing University, everything has been taken care of. Tomorrow,
00:03:21you just need to personally confirm the contract. And that's it. Oh, by the way, today, your
00:03:28wife called you. It's been a year. Finally can't pretend anymore.
00:03:33From now on, you take her calls. No need to inform me. Yes, sir.
00:03:42Miss Yan, where are you now? I've arrived at the school gate. Thank you for Mr. Qi's
00:03:52generous support. I'll have my secretary come down to meet you right now. Hello, let's get
00:03:57going. That woman from yesterday? This is a school. Please let go. Not bad. That's the
00:04:16way. Professional. Quickly getting into the role. I see. Keep it up. Is this person really
00:04:22suited for greeting guests? Off you go. Where's Principal Li? A no-name relative of Yan Cheng,
00:04:33who popped out of nowhere, being some broke relative, and she gets to meet the principal?
00:04:37Hold on a second. We're not done talking. Where do you think you're going? Mom passed away early
00:04:48and dad ended up in jail. Not a single normal person in the whole family. No wonder her daughter
00:04:53turned out to be such a weirdo. What happened to her? She missed an exam. Guess she's looking
00:05:04at a delayed graduation. But I've heard each academic unit offers a makeup exam for those
00:05:09who failed or missed the test for some reason. Are you trying to tell me that Jinda University,
00:05:15a prestigious institution, doesn't have this process? Well, if it does, then she can just
00:05:22take the makeup exam as per the process. Don't stress out the student's parents over this. Time
00:05:26is precious. I'll have to pass on this drama. Little piggy? Were you abandoned too? Just like
00:05:34me, without a family. Isn't this the former Miss Yan Cheng? Who's now working over a dozen jobs a
00:05:56day? Your father is a former lady of the house, Yan Cheng. Yan Cheng, you really are tough.
00:06:03You've outlasted everyone in your family. And here you are, still standing strong. Instructor,
00:06:10don't be so harsh. She's been working really hard, running around doing 800 part-time jobs,
00:06:15paying off her dad's debt. He Lin, you might not know yet, but in this international competition
00:06:20collaboration, I came in first, and you're in second. Instead of being sarcastic, you'd better
00:06:26go back and read some more books. Grow some brains? You, let's go? Sorry for making you
00:06:37witness that debacle. By the way, I hope the counselor didn't give you a hard time. Just wait
00:06:42through the school to send the notice for the makeup exam. Oh, and when you're free, you might
00:06:46want to check out Professor Yan's lectures. So you're an alum. That means your grades must be
00:06:51pretty good. Could you help me catch up on a few lessons? I'll pay you the going rate for tutoring.
00:06:58I can't afford to delay my graduation. I still need to work and earn money.
00:07:02Sure. What?
00:07:08I'm sorry, Mr. Chi. Mrs. Wang's grandson is sick. I need to help her watch her stall tomorrow.
00:07:14About the tutoring, we might need to reschedule. No problem. I'm free these next few days.
00:07:20Let's get the kitten to the vet first. Really? Thank you so much.
00:07:34How many buns for you, boss? Give me two with pork and green onion. Got it.
00:07:43Chi Jing, I really owe you one today. We not only sold all the buns, but also helped Mrs. Wang build a good reputation.
00:08:02Sir, buy a flower for your lady.
00:08:08Wishing you and your sister everlasting love.
00:08:11Miss Yan, your flower.
00:08:23Stop teasing me, Chi Jing.
00:08:26It's hard work selling flowers as a little girl. We're also doing a good deed here.
00:08:31You're right.
00:08:31Oh no, not good. How could I forget about this? I'm going to be late for my next part-time job.
00:08:36Don't worry. I'll give you a ride.
00:08:40Thank you so much. I'll treat you to a meal next time. I have to go now.
00:08:53Got it.
00:09:01Miss Yi, welcome. What's new in your store recently? Show me what you've got. Sure, I'll get it right away. No need for you.
00:09:17I want her to serve me.
00:09:22Hello, ma'am. How can I assist you today? Yan Cheng, as long as you make me comfortable, I'll buy everything.
00:09:31Handling shoes without gloves, you'll dirty them. Can you afford that?
00:09:50Show me that pair.
00:09:57Why are you standing there stunned? Do I have to do it myself?
00:10:02Who told you to stand? I want you to kneel down and help me put them on.
00:10:13Still acting like a pampered princess, huh? Before you want to live the life,
00:10:17you at least need to be able to survive.
00:10:19Do you like these shoes? Don't like them. Get another pair.
00:10:33What kind of shoes are these that you've picked out for me? They're hideous. Change them.
00:10:40What kind of shoes are these that you've picked out for me? They're hideous. Change them.
00:10:56Yan Cheng, lift your head up. Let everyone see this so-called princess,
00:11:00reduced to kneeling on the ground to put shoes on someone. It's truly disgraceful.
00:11:05Helene, don't go too far.
00:11:09Consider who you are to talk to me like that. You're not even worthy to lick my shoes.
00:11:15I really do want to look after your business, but these shoes, not a single one to my liking.
00:11:22Sorry about that.
00:11:29How did these shoes get damaged? These are limited editions, worth three million.
00:11:33Yan Cheng, now you've really lost out.
00:11:37But I didn't damage them.
00:11:38All the customers have left now. Who are you going to hold responsible?
00:11:43Better think of a way to compensate quickly.
00:11:56Hey, it's me. Could you lend me some money for now? My scholarship will be issued soon.
00:12:02I'll pay you back quickly.
00:12:03I knew it. You calling would certainly be no good news. Want money? Sure,
00:12:06but today you have to go see the Qi family.
00:12:09Haven't I told you already? I'm not going to see him.
00:12:14Yan Cheng, you better take good care of President Qi.
00:12:16I heard your dad caught a cold in prison. Stop talking.
00:12:21Please don't. I'll go.
00:12:25How's the company doing lately?
00:12:28I've left the company in your hands for quite some time now.
00:12:31The company is as usual. No need for you to worry.
00:12:35How are you talking to your dad? Is it wrong for me to care about you?
00:12:39I never said that. Nor did I ever have a dad who'd use his son's marriage as a bargaining chip.
00:12:45All right. Every time you two meet, you have to argue. It's like you're enemies.
00:12:49Come. Have some food. I made these dishes especially for you.
00:12:54Thank you, Grandma.
00:12:57I had my own difficulties today. I called over that girl from the Yan family.
00:13:02It's been over a year since the marriage, and you've hardly seen each other.
00:13:06It's not a good look.
00:13:07If you like her so much, why don't you marry her yourself?
00:13:11I wouldn't mind having another stepmom.
00:13:12You?
00:13:14I don't want to be a stepmom.
00:13:16I wouldn't mind having another stepmom.
00:13:18You?
00:13:21Are being unreasonable?
00:13:24You're?
00:13:28Your dad is just worried about you being busy with work.
00:13:34And being alone out there. It must be lonely, right? Isn't it?
00:13:37Don't worry, Grandma. I think someone has already made their way into my heart.
00:13:44Really?
00:13:46Yeah.
00:13:49This is so annoying. A year into the marriage and not seeing each other,
00:13:52and I still couldn't avoid it.
00:13:55Just meet once and leave quickly.
00:13:56I really don't want any relationship with these people.
00:14:03Qi Jing, why are you here?
00:14:07How are you here, too?
00:14:09I... To tell you the truth, I married the owner of this house.
00:14:13It was my stepmom who forced me using my dad.
00:14:16I truly despise this marriage that binds my freedom.
00:14:20If possible, I'd divorce right now.
00:14:22You're saying? You're the wife of the owner of this house?
00:14:27Yes, wait. You haven't told me why you're here.
00:14:32I...
00:14:34I'm a friend of the owner of this house?
00:14:39She can't find out her husband is me?
00:14:41That's quite a coincidence.
00:14:44Do you want to come inside first?
00:14:49I'll cook something for you.
00:14:51Okay, but this is someone else's place.
00:14:53He's hardly ever home. He let me stay here for a while.
00:14:56I see. Well then, I'll graciously accept your offer.
00:15:00Let's go?
00:15:08We're short on time, but we'll make do.
00:15:11This is making do?
00:15:14By the way, how did you meet the owner?
00:15:16His family is really wealthy.
00:15:18My stepmom married me off to him just for a chance to collaborate.
00:15:23We met by chance while traveling.
00:15:25He mentioned you before?
00:15:27He said you're kind and beautiful.
00:15:31That's a complete lie.
00:15:32I've never even met him, okay?
00:15:34In that old man's eyes, anyone slightly younger is considered beautiful.
00:15:38Old man?
00:15:39Mr. Chi is a boring, very old man.
00:15:42You've got it wrong.
00:15:44Mr. Chi is only 28 years old.
00:15:48Successful, upright, and dedicated.
00:15:50Oh, right?
00:15:51I need to call Mr. Chi quickly to tell him I visited.
00:15:54Otherwise, my stepmom will think I'm deceiving you again.
00:15:57Wait a moment.
00:16:04Hold on a sec.
00:16:05Ms. Yan, I'm Mr. Chi's secretary.
00:16:08I just wanted to let Mr. Chi know if my mom asks, just say I reached out to him.
00:16:12Almost forgot, the number I gave her is my work number.
00:16:17What's with you? You seem all tense.
00:16:21It's nothing. Just eat.
00:16:30What happened to your face?
00:16:31I don't know.
00:16:32What happened to your face?
00:16:35I went to my part-time job today.
00:16:38Ran into He Lin? She even forced me to put on her shoes.
00:16:51If you don't apply a hot compress today, you'll have bruises all over by tomorrow.
00:16:56Be gentle.
00:17:03What? My scholarship ran into issues. How could this be?
00:17:11How would I know?
00:17:12The competition committee says there's suspicion you cheated on your score.
00:17:16It must be re-examined.
00:17:17Tell me the truth. Was it He Lin's doing?
00:17:19In this world, power and money reign supreme.
00:17:22People like you just have to make way for them.
00:17:28Why is everyone treating me this way?
00:17:30The more you tolerate, the more rampant they'll become.
00:17:34Just eat first. I'm going to make a call.
00:17:44Investigate the whole Yan Cheng suspension matter.
00:17:48And don't let those who bullied her off the hook.
00:17:52Principal, you wanted to see me?
00:17:55Miss Zhao, I've heard you have quite an opinion of my wife.
00:18:00Who did I think it was? Turns out it's you.
00:18:03The wife you just mentioned wouldn't happen to be Yan Cheng, would it?
00:18:06I remember her family couldn't wait to stay away from her.
00:18:09How could they possibly send someone to the school?
00:18:11Married off at such a young age. Truly shameless.
00:18:15Hold your tongue.
00:18:16Principal, he's just a nobody who works for a living.
00:18:19You don't need to be so cold-blooded.
00:18:21He's just a nobody who works for a living.
00:18:23You don't need to be so polite to him.
00:18:25Watch your mouth.
00:18:26He happens to have invested in our school.
00:18:28An heir to a first-class fortune, no less.
00:18:31Mr. Qi, you really had no idea.
00:18:34Mr. Qi, I'm sorry. I was blind.
00:18:37I offended you.
00:18:39Please be the bigger person and forgive me.
00:18:41Please spare me.
00:18:42But I remember when you bullied my wife, you didn't have this attitude.
00:18:47Since you can't even adhere to the basic principles of being a teacher,
00:18:50I don't see why you should continue in this position.
00:18:52At all. Stay away.
00:18:54Mr. Qi, I'll have her dismissed right away.
00:18:57No need. Just send the word.
00:18:59From now on, whoever dares to hire her
00:19:02will be opposing me and the Qi Corporation.
00:19:16Where's this year's graduation party being held?
00:19:19Helen, I heard your dad donated another three million to the school this time.
00:19:23How can someone be so talented and beautiful, too?
00:19:26My next life, I've got to pick right.
00:19:28I love Jinda University so much.
00:19:31I hope one day I can contribute to Jinda like my father, for Jinda's sake.
00:19:36Isn't that Yan Cheng?
00:19:38Look at what she's wearing. Total trash.
00:19:40Didn't she miss the exam?
00:19:42How could she still attend the graduation dinner?
00:19:45She must have passed her makeup exam.
00:19:47Probably because she won many national and provincial awards.
00:19:50The college must have considered it all to give her the okay.
00:19:53Way to cheat her in competitions.
00:19:55Also gets to attend the dinner.
00:20:00Wow, seriously?
00:20:02What's going on?
00:20:03I heard this is an international collaboration.
00:20:05Yan Cheng got first place, huh?
00:20:07I've never even seen her study.
00:20:09How did she beat He Lin for the award?
00:20:11She must have done something.
00:20:13Unsavory, right?
00:20:15He Lin, don't talk nonsense, Rike.
00:20:17Wow, you've got some nerve.
00:20:19The organizers have already issued a penalty.
00:20:21The punishment notice is out from the school and here you are,
00:20:24daring to show up?
00:20:25Is that true?
00:20:26There's an official seal on it and everything.
00:20:29Don't think I don't know.
00:20:31This was all you're doing.
00:20:32You're the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
00:20:34I, Yan Cheng, have always been upright and honest.
00:20:38I would never do such a thing.
00:20:39You're accusing me of scheming behind your back?
00:20:42Do you have any proof?
00:20:43Look at our statuses now.
00:20:45We're not even in the same league.
00:20:46Why would I need to target you?
00:20:48Exactly.
00:20:49It seems like she's just throwing a tantrum because she got exposed,
00:20:53trying to pin it on He Lin.
00:20:55That's just disgusting.
00:20:57If I were her, I'd want to hide in a hole.
00:20:59I will request a thorough re-examination from the competition organizers.
00:21:04Please.
00:21:05Who do you think you are?
00:21:06Those are prestigious artists with high status.
00:21:09You think you can just meet them whenever you want?
00:21:11My advice?
00:21:13Better leave on your own.
00:21:14Save yourself some face.
00:21:17I won this award on my own merit.
00:21:18Why should I leave?
00:21:19Typical of someone.
00:21:21Raised without a mother.
00:21:22You really don't get it.
00:21:24Coming from a father who's been in jail.
00:21:26What else could she be but a petty thief?
00:21:28Engaging in such dishonorable acts.
00:21:31What are you waiting for, Yan Cheng?
00:21:33Just leave already.
00:21:34Standing near you makes me feel sick.
00:21:37I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on her.
00:21:46Wow, who's that?
00:21:54So handsome.
00:21:55Why do they look so familiar?
00:21:57How did you get here?
00:21:58Your graduation party?
00:21:59How could I miss it?
00:22:01Who allowed you, an outsider, to come in here?
00:22:05Let me tell you, my dad is the largest shareholder of this school.
00:22:09Around here, I decide who gets to come.
00:22:12And who needs to scram when I say so.
00:22:14What does being a mere shareholder matter?
00:22:17To show my gratitude to Jing University for nurturing Yan Cheng,
00:22:20I've decided on this important day in the name of Yan Cheng
00:22:24to donate 100 million yuan to Jing University.
00:22:27Am I hearing this right?
00:22:29Did he say 1 yuan or 100 million yuan?
00:22:32You heard right.
00:22:33It's 100 million.
00:22:35The school leaders must be over the moon.
00:22:37Wow, it turns out Yan Cheng's family isn't down and out.
00:22:41That's way more impressive than He Lin's family.
00:22:43She will still be pinned to the pillar of shame for the rest of her life.
00:22:47She'll have to carry this cheating scandal forever.
00:22:50I wonder which company would dare to hire her after this.
00:22:53Yan Cheng didn't cheat.
00:22:54Her grades are all the result of her own hard work.
00:22:57She earned them.
00:22:57You're her family, of course you would back her up.
00:23:00Security, how can just anyone be let in here?
00:23:03Get her out of here now.
00:23:05I remember now.
00:23:07Isn't he the one on the commendation wall, that senior?
00:23:09I heard he's now with the Chai Corporation.
00:23:14Yan Cheng's scores were released a while ago.
00:23:17So why the suspicion?
00:23:18I think somebody knows the truth better than anyone.
00:23:21I had the organizing committee look into it again.
00:23:24Turns out, someone bribed the judges to score themselves higher.
00:23:27Still, they scored 5 points lower than Yan Cheng.
00:23:31Which, of course, led to dissatisfaction.
00:23:33So they bribed the prosecutor to falsely accuse Yan Cheng of cheating.
00:23:37I wonder if Miss He is clear about what really happened.
00:23:41Shut up.
00:23:42I never did such a thing.
00:23:43Stop slandering me.
00:23:44But here I have the records of your bribes to the judges.
00:23:48Care to explain?
00:23:52He Lin, how could you do something like this?
00:23:54Oh my goodness.
00:23:56It's true what they say.
00:23:57You can't judge a book by its cover.
00:23:59Can't believe her scores were faked.
00:24:02Money really can make the world go round.
00:24:05Don't listen to his nonsense.
00:24:07So, how should we handle this?
00:24:08We will deal with this matter strictly.
00:24:10Miss He Lin will be blacklisted from the competitions.
00:24:14She will never be allowed to compete again.
00:24:16You wouldn't dare.
00:24:17Don't forget how much my dad has invested in your competition.
00:24:20A minor shareholder daring to challenge me?
00:24:23I suggest you go home, since the issues there are far more serious than here.
00:24:31You useless thing.
00:24:32What kind of trouble have you gotten us into with some big shot?
00:24:35Our family's bankrupt because of you.
00:24:37What?
00:24:41How is this even possible?
00:24:42It can't be.
00:24:44Let go of me.
00:24:47Yan Cheng, you...
00:24:48Why do you always have to outdo me?
00:24:50Why don't you just die, Yan Cheng?
00:24:52Qi Jing, could you talk to the school leaders about this?
00:24:55In your own name, donate to the school.
00:24:56I'm really grateful for what you did today.
00:24:59You saved me from embarrassment.
00:25:00But no work, no reward.
00:25:03This matter really can't be done in my name.
00:25:05I've been thinking what to get you for a graduation gift.
00:25:08I think this is pretty good.
00:25:09Although the donation is in your name, the actual donor is me.
00:25:12I just didn't want to steal the spotlight.
00:25:14Isn't this just a way to stand up for you?
00:25:17It seems like I've never brought any benefits to you.
00:25:20Instead, you're always helping me.
00:25:23If you really feel bad about it, then how about you treat me to a meal?
00:25:27Sheng Cheng.
00:25:28I'm here.
00:25:29Okay, we'll get in touch later.
00:25:31My friends come to see me.
00:25:33Go ahead.
00:25:34Uh-huh.
00:25:35Hey, don't forget about that meal, okay?
00:25:41Got it.
00:25:45Sheng Cheng, are you okay?
00:25:46I heard that Helene embarrassed you in front of everyone.
00:25:49I'm fine, really.
00:25:50That's good to hear.
00:25:52Can you believe it?
00:25:53We actually made it through graduation.
00:25:55Let's go celebrate tonight.
00:25:56It's on me.
00:25:58But I've already got plans tonight.
00:26:01What?
00:26:01Who's ditching me?
00:26:03Oh my.
00:26:04It's the person who had my back earlier, also my tutor,
00:26:07and the parent who booked me on the app.
00:26:09He's also a well-known alumnus of our school.
00:26:12Well-known alumnus.
00:26:13What?
00:26:14He's involved in so many things.
00:26:16I only caught a glimpse of him from afar.
00:26:18Couldn't see him clearly.
00:26:19Everyone was going crazy, and I just couldn't get through the crowd.
00:26:23Sheng Cheng, what's your relationship with him?
00:26:25He's that wealthy?
00:26:27I don't even know what to do now.
00:26:28Feel like I owe him a lot.
00:26:29I feel like I owe him so much.
00:26:31A little debt never hurt anybody.
00:26:33It's fine.
00:26:35By the way, Sheng Cheng, is he really that handsome?
00:26:39Yeah, he really is.
00:26:41Then I have to meet him.
00:26:43That might not be a great idea, though.
00:26:45What's wrong with that?
00:26:46I'm not going to bite him.
00:26:47I'm just curious and want to see, that's all.
00:26:51All right, all right.
00:26:52I can't win with you.
00:26:53I'll take you with me, then.
00:26:55Sheng Cheng, you're the best.
00:26:58See you, John.
00:27:04Isn't that the handsome guy from the coffee shop the other day?
00:27:07This is my bestie, Yi Qingping.
00:27:12Hey there, handsome.
00:27:14This is my friend, Qi Jing.
00:27:17Wow, he's incredibly handsome.
00:27:19Could you act a bit more normal?
00:27:21With a friend like him backing you, who needs a bike anymore?
00:27:28You guys go ahead and eat.
00:27:30I've got some things to take care of.
00:27:35Attack.
00:27:35Subtly.
00:27:36Him.
00:27:37You.
00:27:39Sorry about that.
00:27:40My BFF is just naturally blunt.
00:27:42Sorry for any embarrassment.
00:27:46So, do I fit your definition of attractive?
00:27:50Well, you're so handsome, I don't think anyone could resist.
00:27:54So, do you like me?
00:27:56Qi Jing, why do you have to ask so bluntly?
00:27:59It's almost like you're tempting me to cross a line.
00:28:02Yes, I like you.
00:28:05That's good to hear.
00:28:16What's going on?
00:28:17Text message?
00:28:20Hello?
00:28:21Order ending in 89.89.
00:28:23I was wondering about my unused service.
00:28:26What's the deal?
00:28:27Here's the thing.
00:28:28Here's the thing.
00:28:29Ma'am, staff member Xiao Yang went to your school and couldn't find you.
00:28:32We couldn't reach you by phone either.
00:28:34So we refunded the amount back to you.
00:28:37Xiao Yang?
00:28:38Yes, ma'am.
00:28:39Do you have any other questions?
00:28:41No, thank you.
00:28:44So, you're saying Qi Jing.
00:28:46Why did he have to deal with Zhao Zhao for me?
00:28:48What's that about?
00:28:49You never know.
00:28:50Maybe Mr. Qi fell for your beauty love at first sight and decided to cleverly get close to you.
00:28:55Look at you, Cheng Cheng, without even trying.
00:28:57You've captured Mr. Qi's heart.
00:28:59Wow.
00:29:00Ah, stop it.
00:29:02That's impossible.
00:29:02Qi Jing doesn't seem like that kind of flirtatious person.
00:29:12Of course, go.
00:29:13Why not?
00:29:14But...
00:29:14Ah, come on.
00:29:15Hurry up and go.
00:29:16Quick, quick.
00:29:17Go on.
00:29:18Hurry up.
00:29:22Should I ask Qi Jing if he likes me or not?
00:29:25Would that be too narcissistic?
00:29:28What's wrong with you?
00:29:29Why do I feel like you're off today?
00:29:31Qi Jing, you...
00:29:33What?
00:29:35I mean, are you single?
00:29:37With looks like yours, you must have a girlfriend, right?
00:29:40After all, handsome guys are usually in high demand.
00:29:47I'm married.
00:29:56What?
00:29:57I'm married.
00:29:59I'm married.
00:30:01Why are you upset?
00:30:03You and Qi Jing were never a possibility?
00:30:05How did we get on this subject?
00:30:06Don't tell me.
00:30:09You have feelings for me?
00:30:11No, no.
00:30:11How could that be?
00:30:12I was just curious.
00:30:13Also, Qi Jing, you suddenly reached out today.
00:30:17Is there something you need?
00:30:18Our group invited Professor Yan to be the architectural design consultant.
00:30:22If you're willing, I can arrange for you to assist him.
00:30:25I...
00:30:25I'm willing, of course.
00:30:26I'm willing.
00:30:27Not everyone gets the chance to assist Professor Yan.
00:30:30Thank you.
00:30:30Thank you for securing such a great opportunity for me.
00:30:33Diligence can make up for lack of skill,
00:30:35as long as you're not afraid of hard work.
00:30:37I'm not afraid.
00:30:38This kind of hardship, I'm more than willing to take it on.
00:30:41This won't be easy, young ship.
00:30:43I'll make you graduate except me.
00:30:45Mr. Qi, you really found me a great talent.
00:30:58Yan Cheng is exceptionally gifted in architectural design.
00:31:01I just gave her one example, and she could deduce so much more from it.
00:31:05It'd be a shame if such talent were to go unnoticed.
00:31:08Then Professor Yan, you have to nurture her well.
00:31:10You're practically her mentor now.
00:31:12Of course, naturally.
00:31:16It's getting late.
00:31:17I have to take her out for lunch.
00:31:18Would you like to join us?
00:31:20Ah, I'll pass.
00:31:21I have another engagement.
00:31:22Next time, I'll definitely join you, Mr. Qi, for lunch.
00:31:26All right.
00:31:29Yan Cheng.
00:31:37No, Qi Jing is a married man, and I'm married too.
00:31:39Must not fall for it, must not fall for it.
00:31:41No men in my heart, only focus within.
00:31:46How did you get here?
00:31:47It's your first day at work.
00:31:48Just came to check on you.
00:31:51Are you adjusting well?
00:31:52I'll take you out for lunch.
00:31:56Qi Jing, I have a question for you.
00:31:58Shoot.
00:31:59Why are you so nice to me?
00:32:02That's a weird question.
00:32:03Would you prefer I were mean to you?
00:32:05No, of course not.
00:32:07So you do want me to be nice to you.
00:32:09Who wouldn't want others to be kind to them?
00:32:13But shouldn't you in turn be nice to me as well?
00:32:15It's only polite to reciprocate.
00:32:16Well, how should I be nice to you?
00:32:18I don't have much to offer.
00:32:22Just join me for meals more often.
00:32:24But it's my period.
00:32:29What can I do for you, Mr. Qi?
00:32:30Clear all this and bring us some nourishing food instead.
00:32:33Right away, Mr. Qi.
00:32:37I'll buy you cake later.
00:32:40I want two slices.
00:32:42All right, all right, you little glutton.
00:32:45I'll buy you cake later.
00:32:51Helene, what are you doing here?
00:32:52If it's nothing, please leave quickly.
00:32:55Yan Cheng, this is my desk now.
00:32:57What do you mean?
00:32:58You don't know yet?
00:33:00I started working at this company today.
00:33:02And you?
00:33:03You're just someone helping Professor Yan doing some menial tasks as a little intern.
00:33:08Better find an empty spot to curl up in.
00:33:10Don't be an eyesore here.
00:33:12Do you even understand first come, first served?
00:33:16Didn't you see the sign on the desk with my name on it?
00:33:19Yan Cheng, Qi Group.
00:33:21Hey, you.
00:33:21Well, it's gone now, isn't it?
00:33:23Hurry up and get out of my sight.
00:33:25Don't be an eyesore here.
00:33:26Helene, I put up with you in school.
00:33:29But now that we're out in the real world, how can you still be so domineering?
00:33:33So what?
00:33:34You think I don't have someone backing me up?
00:33:36Hey, honey, come out for a sec.
00:33:38Someone is bullying me here.
00:33:42Who dares to bully my baby?
00:33:46It's her.
00:33:51Isn't that our head of the design department?
00:33:53Since when did Helene start dating him?
00:33:55What's up with Yan Cheng?
00:33:56Making all this noise?
00:33:58Helene insisting on fighting over the desk with me.
00:34:00Why don't you just switch?
00:34:02Why should I have to switch?
00:34:03I clearly got here before her.
00:34:05Besides, only this computer's specs can produce the design Professor Yan wants.
00:34:10So why should I?
00:34:11Am I the director or are you?
00:34:12Last time I checked, you were just an intern assistant.
00:34:15Not even officially employed yet.
00:34:17And here you are, bossing us around.
00:34:18Who gave you such courage?
00:34:20Oh, Yan Cheng, how did I not notice that you're just like a clingy mutt,
00:34:24stubbornly refusing to leave?
00:34:25Didn't you hear what my husband said?
00:34:27Scram.
00:34:28Fine, I'll move.
00:34:30But this computer has to move with me.
00:34:32No way, I need this computer.
00:34:34Yan Cheng, any other regular computer will do.
00:34:36But what about Professor Yan?
00:34:38Stop using Professor Yan to pressure me.
00:34:40You're just a recent college graduate.
00:34:42Thinking you can achieve something extraordinary?
00:34:44Pack your stuff and leave.
00:34:46Don't make me repeat myself.
00:34:57Oofs, how careless of me to spill water on the desk.
00:34:59Yan Cheng, you're not mad, are you?
00:35:02Boring, can't even talk back.
00:35:05Unlike you, always sounding like your mouth's been greased.
00:35:09You, Yan Cheng, enough with your snide remarks.
00:35:12Watch it or you'll regret it.
00:35:18Oh, you remember how to come back, huh?
00:35:21I thought you had forgotten all about this home.
00:35:23Grandma, I'm back.
00:35:25Yan Cheng, you're becoming more and more disrespectful.
00:35:28I am talking to you, and you don't respond.
00:35:32I am talking to you, and you don't respond.
00:35:36Is this how you were raised?
00:35:38Well, it depends on what you say.
00:35:39You're supposedly an elder, but your words are pretty sharp.
00:35:42You...
00:35:44Mom?
00:35:45Why are you here?
00:35:46Can't I come back?
00:35:47Why are you being so aggressive?
00:35:49And to think you even got married.
00:35:51That's really something.
00:35:53Grandma's hands are so cold.
00:35:55Let's get another blanket.
00:35:56Yes.
00:35:57Mom, about that thing we discussed.
00:36:00Have you considered it?
00:36:02Our family doesn't have that much money to buy you a car.
00:36:05Mom, I'm begging you.
00:36:07Everyone else has a car, and I'm the only one who doesn't.
00:36:11It's so embarrassing.
00:36:12Yan Cheng, now that you are a lady of high standing.
00:36:16Giving your brother some money to spend isn't too much to ask, right?
00:36:20I can barely support myself with my own job.
00:36:23How could I afford to buy him a car?
00:36:24I can't even afford a tire.
00:36:28You can just ask your husband for it.
00:36:30He's got money.
00:36:31You're his wife, after all.
00:36:32It's only right he spends some on you.
00:36:34Isn't that just natural?
00:36:36We're only spouses in name.
00:36:38Why should he give me money?
00:36:39Besides, I could never ask someone for money like that.
00:36:42It's just not something I'd do.
00:36:44Really?
00:36:44You think your pride is that important?
00:36:46You still see yourself as the Yan family's precious daughter?
00:36:50Wake up, sweetheart.
00:36:51This marriage was dead in name only to begin with.
00:36:53It's bound to end in divorce sooner or later.
00:36:56There's really no point in holding on.
00:36:57I don't owe him anything.
00:36:59He doesn't owe me anything.
00:37:01That's the only way we can part amicably.
00:37:03Don't be so naive, Yan Cheng.
00:37:05If it weren't for your marriage to Mr. Chi,
00:37:07our family's company would have gone bankrupt.
00:37:10Who would have paid for your grandmother's medical bills?
00:37:12Who would have funded your brother's studies abroad?
00:37:15But I'm not a pawn for keeping your company afloat.
00:37:18You married me off to someone I hardly know.
00:37:21Did you ever consider how I feel about this?
00:37:23So everyone else gets their happy ending and I'm the only sacrifice.
00:37:27Is that it?
00:37:27Sacrifice?
00:37:29Don't act like you don't know what's good for you.
00:37:31Some people can't even find a decent marriage if they searched with a lantern.
00:37:35And here you are complaining.
00:37:36It's all because your dad spoiled you rotten, never letting you suffer even a bit.
00:37:45Take good care of Grandma.
00:37:46Remember to take her to the doctor on Monday.
00:37:48And send me the medical report.
00:37:50Yes, miss.
00:37:51I'll be leaving now, Grandma.
00:37:59I hate you.
00:38:00I hate all of you.
00:38:02Why?
00:38:02Just why?
00:38:03Why do all of you target me?
00:38:05Why do I have to marry someone I don't know at all?
00:38:24Yan Cheng, why are you talking?
00:38:29Qi Jing, you're also a big jerk.
00:38:31Where are you?
00:38:32I'll come to you.
00:38:33I'm at Crescent Bay.
00:38:35All right, don't hang up.
00:38:36I'm on my way.
00:38:37Cancel the meeting.
00:38:38Prepare the car.
00:38:39Understood.
00:38:58Don't be so nice to me.
00:39:19What's wrong?
00:39:20Is something bothering you?
00:39:22I have so many troubles.
00:39:26Take your time.
00:39:27You can tell me slowly.
00:39:29Maybe I can even help solve them for you.
00:39:32It's no use.
00:39:33No one can help me.
00:39:34I hate him.
00:39:36Why?
00:39:36Why am I the victim?
00:39:43I don't want to marry Yang at all.
00:39:45Not one bit.
00:39:57What's wrong?
00:40:19Did we... yesterday?
00:40:21What are you thinking about with that little head of yours?
00:40:28Seriously?
00:40:30Xiao Wang!
00:40:32You threw up all over yourself yesterday.
00:40:34I had her help you change your clothes.
00:40:36Yes, miss.
00:40:39Oh, sorry for the trouble yesterday.
00:40:41It's no problem.
00:40:42If you need anything in the future, just give me a call anytime.
00:40:47What's the matter?
00:40:47You're so nice to me, even took me home.
00:40:50Will your wife not mind?
00:40:52She won't mind, right?
00:40:54She's actually lying in bed right now.
00:40:58Are you treating me like your mistress?
00:41:01Is that what you think of me?
00:41:05I don't know.
00:41:06But I definitely won't be your mistress.
00:41:09You're overthinking it, miss Yan Cheng.
00:41:11So I was just imagining things, huh?
00:41:18Let's get you up.
00:41:21What's wrong with you?
00:41:27Still not feeling well?
00:41:30I'm just wondering why on earth did he marry me?
00:41:33Is this a sham marriage or is it because he married me just to have a better cover for
00:41:37being with men?
00:41:38Ah, doesn't that make me a victim?
00:41:42How could that be?
00:41:43He likes women.
00:41:44How do you know?
00:41:46He's my friend.
00:41:47Well, of course.
00:41:48Don't overthink it.
00:41:49You seem pretty anxious when I mention him.
00:41:52You guys aren't a couple, are you?
00:41:58Why don't you try and see what my orientation is?
00:42:03Better not.
00:42:10Your car is too conspicuous.
00:42:12Drive further away, will you?
00:42:14I'll walk back later.
00:42:20I'll be going now.
00:42:21Thanks for everything.
00:42:27Weird.
00:42:28Really weird.
00:42:29You, the workaholic, now hardly ever stay overnight at the office.
00:42:35Qi Jing, you haven't been swept off your feet by some woman, have you?
00:42:44Who's that?
00:42:45It can't possibly be your wife you've never met, right?
00:42:49No way.
00:42:50That's not right.
00:42:51Weren't you really unhappy that your dad forced you into marriage?
00:42:54The past is the past.
00:42:56Ah, how far have you two gotten?
00:42:58You've been pretty free with work lately, huh?
00:43:00Want me to find more for you to do?
00:43:02Who's that?
00:43:03Off I go, then.
00:43:09Mr. Qi, this is from President Su.
00:43:11A limited edition autumn rabbit decoration.
00:43:14Toss it in the storage.
00:43:15All right.
00:43:16Wait.
00:43:17Leave it here.
00:43:17I have use for it.
00:43:18Since when did you start liking this kind of stuff?
00:43:21Oh, okay.
00:43:28I'll pick you up from work later.
00:43:29Got something for you.
00:43:31This is for you.
00:43:32Wow, this rabbit is really hard to get.
00:43:34You're really giving it to me?
00:43:36As long as you like it.
00:43:38I love it.
00:43:39Let's also go shopping for a bit later.
00:43:41I want to get you a return gift.
00:43:42No need, really.
00:43:43How can that be?
00:43:51What's up?
00:44:00You haven't been out to play with me for so long.
00:44:02I've missed you so much.
00:44:03I've missed you to death.
00:44:04I've missed you, too.
00:44:06Want to go out tonight, Cheng Cheng?
00:44:10Maybe next time, Cheng Cheng.
00:44:11I'm still in an online class.
00:44:13Been helping Professor Yan lately.
00:44:15I need to learn more so I don't let him down.
00:44:18Come on, Cheng Cheng.
00:44:19You've been studying for days.
00:44:20It's time to take a break.
00:44:21It's not too late.
00:44:22You can continue studying tomorrow.
00:44:24Won't you come out and play for a while?
00:44:27Ah, okay.
00:44:28Okay.
00:44:29Okay.
00:44:29Let me get ready then.
00:44:30Great.
00:44:36Cheng Cheng, it's been a week since I last saw you.
00:44:40That's because you always sleep till the sun is high.
00:44:42Well, I just graduated.
00:44:44I'm trying to recover all the energy I spent on my thesis.
00:44:47I'll back.
00:44:48That's you, all right?
00:44:51Let's drink.
00:45:04So you respond this fast when she's mentioned, huh?
00:45:08Seeing color and forgetting friends?
00:45:11Come on.
00:45:22Let me introduce you guys.
00:45:24This is my best friend, Yan Cheng.
00:45:26We're all here to have fun.
00:45:27How about adding each other on WeChat, miss?
00:45:29No, thanks.
00:45:30I don't have WeChat.
00:45:32If you don't want to share, at least make up a better excuse.
00:45:35Are you disrespecting me?
00:45:37You guys don't understand as high on.
00:45:39Our Cheng Cheng is usually a homebody.
00:45:42She's not really into social media, doesn't use it.
00:45:44Fine.
00:45:47This is the first time a woman has dared to reject me.
00:45:52Fine.
00:45:52Let's see how I deal with you today.
00:45:54Cheng Cheng, are you not in a good mood today?
00:45:57I don't like the way he looks at me like I'm prey.
00:46:01Then let's leave in a bit.
00:46:02We can go have fun on our own.
00:46:04Yeah, sounds good.
00:46:09What if Qi Jing finds out I'm still at the bar this late?
00:46:17Would that make a bad impression on me?
00:46:28Luckily, Qi Jing didn't ask too much.
00:46:34Hey, Cheng Cheng, don't drink so much.
00:46:36Your stomach will hurt later.
00:46:38I'm gonna head to the restroom.
00:46:39Let's leave when I get back.
00:46:51Why is my head spinning so much?
00:46:53It's so hot in here.
00:46:54Is the air conditioning off?
00:47:04Feeling unwell, are you?
00:47:05Come on, big brother.
00:47:06We'll take you home.
00:47:09Back off.
00:47:10Get your dirty hands off of me.
00:47:12Don't touch me.
00:47:13Oh, quite the fiery one.
00:47:14I like it, but dare to refuse me?
00:47:16Then I won't be so polite.
00:47:20Let go of me.
00:47:28Touch her again and see what happens.
00:47:31If you don't show up soon, I won't be able to hold back.
00:47:35Do you know who I am and dare to hit me?
00:47:37I've already lit a candle for you.
00:47:39Of all people to mess with, you had to mess with Qi Jing's woman.
00:47:42Animal.
00:47:43I'll make you pay.
00:47:44I'd like to see what you can do.
00:47:46Someone, come here.
00:47:48What are you doing?
00:47:52Let go of me.
00:47:53Let go.
00:47:54The hand that touched her.
00:47:55I want that hand disabled.
00:47:56Let me go.
00:47:57Let me go.
00:47:57I'm calling the police.
00:47:58Ah!
00:47:59Take good care of her best friend.
00:48:07Ensure her safety.
00:48:09So I'm just a tool here, huh?
00:48:14It's so hot, Qi Jing.
00:48:18Speed up to Yan Yu Lan Ting.
00:48:20Right away, Mr. Qi.
00:48:22Call our private doctor to Yan Yu Lan Ting.
00:48:25And make sure it's a woman.
00:48:26Qi Jing.
00:48:28I'm here.
00:48:29I feel so awful.
00:48:32Just hang in there.
00:48:33We'll be there soon.
00:48:45Take your hand away.
00:48:48Okay.
00:48:49It's so cold.
00:48:59So cold.
00:49:17I thought you were getting ready for bed.
00:49:21Next time, no more bars, okay?
00:49:24And if you must go, bring your bodyguard with you.
00:49:27Where am I supposed to get a bodyguard?
00:49:31Well, if you're okay with it, I can be your bodyguard.
00:49:34Stop it.
00:49:35We can't keep going like this.
00:49:36We both have our own marriages.
00:49:39We can't keep sinking deeper.
00:49:41No, thank you.
00:49:42I think we should keep our distance.
00:49:54It's all over for me.
00:49:55You've really done me in this time.
00:49:57What happened?
00:49:57It's a long story.
00:49:58Better to explain in person.
00:50:00Just tell me over the phone.
00:50:02It's about your wife's best friend.
00:50:06What? You said you two?
00:50:09I didn't want to either.
00:50:11A real hunk took care of me in every possible way.
00:50:14How could I not fall for him?
00:50:16Ah, Cheng, don't worry.
00:50:17We took all the necessary precautions.
00:50:19And besides, we're all adults here.
00:50:20We're responsible for our actions.
00:50:22But do you even know who he really is?
00:50:24No idea.
00:50:25Probably just someone coming to the bar for a drink.
00:50:28Or maybe...
00:50:30Sigh.
00:50:32So, what's the situation between you two now?
00:50:36Oh, nothing.
00:50:37Nothing.
00:50:40And contact information.
00:50:41You must have that, right?
00:50:50Let me see.
00:50:51Can I just shake some sense into your head?
00:50:53Cheng, I know I was wrong.
00:50:55I was wrong.
00:50:56I promise.
00:50:57Never again.
00:50:58You're literally killing me here.
00:51:00Oh, yeah.
00:51:00You got taken away by Boss Chi yesterday.
00:51:04The guy from yesterday, he's in jail now.
00:51:06Heard the sentence was pretty heavy.
00:51:08Serves him right.
00:51:09I'm so sorry, my treasure.
00:51:11I shouldn't have called you out yesterday to run into that mess.
00:51:15All right, all right.
00:51:16I'm okay now, aren't I?
00:51:20You and Boss Chi.
00:51:21Did something happen?
00:51:25Hey, can't we just talk?
00:51:28Why resort to hitting?
00:51:30Your head.
00:51:30It's filled with nothing but dirty thoughts.
00:51:33Chi De Lau Hu is both handsome and sophisticated.
00:51:35How could I not go after him?
00:51:37Let me tell you.
00:51:38There's no second chance for me in this village.
00:51:40To be honest, I do have feelings for Chi Jing.
00:51:43But we could never be together.
00:51:45It just couldn't happen.
00:51:47What?
00:51:48Chi De Lau Hu doesn't like you?
00:51:50That doesn't make sense.
00:51:51Oh, did you forget I'm already married?
00:51:54You've never even met him.
00:51:56No emotional foundation whatsoever.
00:51:57Are you planning to spend a lifetime like that?
00:51:59Ching Ching.
00:52:02Chi Jing.
00:52:04Chi Jing is also married.
00:52:06What?
00:52:07Is he even human?
00:52:09Ah, Ching Ching.
00:52:10Anyway, that's the situation.
00:52:12I also have things I've kept from him.
00:52:15So we're even.
00:52:16All right, then.
00:52:25Why do you think she's not happy?
00:52:27Hey, you can you let me finish?
00:52:31Go ahead.
00:52:31That morning when I woke up, she was gone.
00:52:34Ah, and she left me a few hundred bucks on the table.
00:52:38That's so humiliating.
00:52:40It's like she just saw me as...
00:52:43Come on, where can you find someone as tall, dark, and handsome as me?
00:52:48Let me tell you.
00:52:50This time I really lost out.
00:52:52Don't play the victim when you've benefited.
00:52:54Hey, you're actually not siding with me?
00:52:57What are you, a child?
00:53:00Who thinks like you do, unable to control themselves?
00:53:04Bro, let's be honest.
00:53:06Wouldn't you have these thoughts if you met someone who makes your heart race?
00:53:12I hit the nail on the head, didn't I?
00:53:16Bro, we're all adults here.
00:53:19These things are consensual, right?
00:53:21Right?
00:53:21Don't tell me last night you didn't hook up with her.
00:53:25Can't believe I guessed right.
00:53:26Man, you've really got some self-control.
00:53:29Even Yan Cheng got involved and you still remained unmoved?
00:53:32Don't want your paycheck anymore?
00:53:36Don't feel like going to class?
00:53:38All right, I'm off to work then.
00:53:39Off to slave away for you.
00:53:49Hello?
00:53:49Your grandma's been rushed to emergency.
00:53:51Hurry over here.
00:53:52What did you say?
00:53:54Where's grandma?
00:53:55She's in the operating room.
00:53:58And you're still watching videos?
00:53:59I'm asking how grandma suddenly-
00:54:01How would I know?
00:54:02The fact I got her to the hospital is already going above and beyond.
00:54:06If we waited for you, your grandma would have been long gone.
00:54:11What kind of thing is that to say?
00:54:12Yan Cheng.
00:54:14Get this straight.
00:54:15Your grandma and I have no blood relation.
00:54:18Whether she lives or dies is none of my concern.
00:54:21Besides, at her age, though it's a bit unexpected, it's quite normal.
00:54:25Zhang Yirong, you-
00:54:31What did the doctor say?
00:54:33The patient's condition is not optimistic.
00:54:35We need to collect 10 million in medical fees.
00:54:38Otherwise, we can't proceed with the surgery.
00:54:42What 10 million?
00:54:45Why are you just standing there?
00:54:47Pay up?
00:54:47I don't have the money.
00:54:50The company's annual dividends and the bride price from the Chai family, where did it all go?
00:54:54Well, wasn't it all used for your grandma's medical expenses?
00:54:57That's impossible.
00:54:59How much does grandma spend on medicine a year?
00:55:02Plus, before my dad went in, he left a sum for grandma's retirement fund.
00:55:05Where's the money?
00:55:06Enough, don't ask anymore.
00:55:09I bought a car for your brother.
00:55:10He's been begging for a Bugatti Veyron, right?
00:55:12So, I bought it for him.
00:55:14Have you lost your mind?
00:55:15Do you not know our family's situation?
00:55:18Such an expensive luxury car, we simply cannot afford it.
00:55:21Let me tell you, Yancheng.
00:55:23In this family, I have the final say on the finances, not you to be calling the shots.
00:55:28In the future, all of our family's resources are going to Xiaozhe.
00:55:32Whether we spend it sooner or later, doesn't it all go to the same place?
00:55:36Your grandma has been sick for so long, spending so much money,
00:55:40and yet the illness hasn't been cured, has it?
00:55:43I say we shouldn't bother treating it anymore.
00:55:46Zhang Yuerong, are you even human?
00:55:48I'm sorry, but we can't delay the surgery any longer.
00:55:54Are you ready to-
00:55:55I'm sorry?
00:55:57Doctor, about the money, I will find a way to gather it.
00:56:01Please, you must find a way to cure my grandma.
00:56:13Qi Jing.
00:56:24What happened to Chengcheng?
00:56:27What's going on?
00:56:28Qi Jing, could I borrow some money from you?
00:56:31My grandmother, she needs surgery, but I don't have enough money to pay for the surgery.
00:56:37Sure, how much do you need?
00:56:39Send me your card number.
00:56:40Thank you so much.
00:56:41Don't be afraid.
00:56:42I'm on my way to you now.
00:56:54I'll call the best specialists to come and treat Yancheng's grandmother.
00:56:58I'll arrange a VIP ward with the best medical equipment.
00:57:01I'll take care of it right away.
00:57:02You don't need to worry.
00:57:04I believe your grandma will be just fine.
00:57:08Qi Jing, aren't you afraid I won't be able to repay you?
00:57:12I never expected you to pay me back, as long as I can help you.
00:57:16I'm willing to do anything.
00:57:17Why are you so good to me?
00:57:19I'm scared I might not be able to help myself from falling for you.
00:57:23Don't hold back.
00:57:27I like you too.
00:57:37Chengcheng.
00:57:37If you're coming, just come.
00:57:41No need to bring anything.
00:57:42You can still enjoy some treats even when you're not busy.
00:57:47Where's your stepmom and your brother?
00:57:51My stepmom thinks the treatment cost for grandma is too high.
00:57:54She doesn't want to take responsibility.
00:57:56Yancheng, that irresponsible one, might not even know about this yet.
00:58:00He's probably clueless.
00:58:01What kind of monsters are these?
00:58:03That's so unfilial.
00:58:05Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?
00:58:08Isn't that Boss Qi?
00:58:11Hello, Boss Qi.
00:58:12Hello. Have some breakfast.
00:58:16So what's your relationship with Boss Qi now?
00:58:18Just friends?
00:58:19We're just normal friends.
00:58:21Doesn't look like it to me.
00:58:23Just friends don't care about you this much.
00:58:25Nor come to look after grandma.
00:58:37Are you crazy?
00:58:45What are you looking at?
00:58:47It's her.
00:58:47I'm gonna go first.
00:58:49What's going on?
00:58:51Do they know each other?
00:58:52Should we go check out?
00:58:53Don't worry about it.
00:58:55They'll sort it out.
00:58:56About the money, I might not be able to pay you back any time soon.
00:59:00I might not be able to return it for a while.
00:59:02It's no big deal.
00:59:03It's all minor to me.
00:59:04Don't stress about it.
00:59:06Consider it a good deed.
00:59:07Remember, you don't have to pay me back.
00:59:10No, I will pay you back within five years.
00:59:13I'll definitely pay it back.
00:59:16Why are you so angry?
00:59:17I'm not angry.
00:59:17I'm just worried about you.
00:59:19I'm worried about you.
00:59:20I'm worried about you.
00:59:20I'm worried about you.
00:59:21I'm worried about you.
00:59:22I'm worried about you.
00:59:22I'm worried about you.
00:59:23I'm worried about you.
00:59:23I'm worried about you.
00:59:24I'm worried about you.
00:59:24I'm worried about you.
00:59:25Why are you running so fast?
00:59:26I'm not going to eat you.
00:59:31Why are you running so fast?
00:59:32I'm not going to eat you.
00:59:38I've already forgotten about what happened before.
00:59:40Let's just pretend nothing ever happened.
00:59:42Hey, then you've got to take responsibility for me.
00:59:44It was my first time, you know?
00:59:46I've never seen anyone so shameless.
00:59:49Even though we were both drunk, it was still consensual.
00:59:52You can clearly tell you're older than me.
00:59:55If anyone should be taking responsibility, it's you.
00:59:58I'm willing to take responsibility.
01:00:00Well, I'm not willing.
01:00:03I'm not going to argue with you about this.
01:00:05I'm leaving now, and don't come after me again.
01:00:09Let's part on good terms.
01:00:10Hey, my name is Tang Ming.
01:00:12Remember that.
01:00:18So that guy was actually him.
01:00:22I didn't expect it either.
01:00:23And he actually knows Big Boss Chi.
01:00:27That's really quite a coincidence.
01:00:31So that guy was actually him?
01:00:35I didn't see that coming either.
01:00:36And to think he knows Big Boss Chi.
01:00:40It's really surprising.
01:00:42He even asked me if the money on the table was for.
01:00:45Actually, I was thinking the same thing.
01:00:47But I didn't want to hurt his pride, so I said it was for the rent.
01:00:53Qing Jing, you're getting more and more audacious in your actions.
01:00:56Wilder by the day.
01:00:58Just feeling a bit more spirited.
01:01:00When it's time to go crazy, go crazy.
01:01:02Besides, what's normal anyway?
01:01:07What's the deal with you and Big Boss Chi right now?
01:01:09What's really going on?
01:01:11You know my situation.
01:01:12I like Qi Jing.
01:01:14And Qi Jing has feelings for me too.
01:01:16But between us, there's this thick barrier.
01:01:18I don't know how to break through it.
01:01:20That question is a bit beyond me.
01:01:22I don't know what to do either.
01:01:25Let's not talk about that now.
01:01:26Right now, nothing's more important than Grandma's illness.
01:01:29Speaking of which, haven't you checked your phone?
01:01:33Your childhood friend, Deng Zirui, is back in the country.
01:01:37He asked you to pick him up.
01:01:38I haven't even checked my phone.
01:01:40You should really take care of yourself.
01:01:42You've lost a lot of weight.
01:01:43Grandma's health is important, but so is yours.
01:01:46Sigh.
01:01:48Deng Zirui.
01:01:49Ouch, it hurts, man.
01:01:51Cheng Cheng, you haven't changed a bit after all these years.
01:01:55Still as strong as ever.
01:01:56Why didn't you just stay in England?
01:01:58Why come back?
01:01:59Came back because I missed you.
01:02:00Act normal, will you?
01:02:03All right, all right.
01:02:04England, you see, is really a culinary way of life.
01:02:07It's not a place where you can just come and go as you please.
01:02:11It's not a place where you can just come and go as you please.
01:02:13It's not a place where you can just come and go as you please.
01:02:15It's really a culinary wasteland.
01:02:17Couldn't stand it anymore.
01:02:18Came back for our Chinese cuisine.
01:02:20After all these years, and you're just saying it now?
01:02:23Hurry up, let's go.
01:02:24We still have things to do.
01:02:26Let's go.
01:02:26Right.
01:02:30So, what are your plans now?
01:02:32Guess I'll be sticking with you.
01:02:33Wherever you go, I go.
01:02:35Be serious.
01:02:36You haven't been in touch lately.
01:02:38It was after I asked Cheng Cheng.
01:02:39That Cheng Cheng told me.
01:02:41I was worried you couldn't manage alone, so I rushed back home.
01:02:44At least you're somewhat conscientious.
01:02:46I did look out for you when we were kids.
01:02:48Not a bad deal.
01:02:49You know it, my boss.
01:03:02Long time no see, Cheng Cheng.
01:03:09Why not change the time for the welcome dinner?
01:03:11Ah, can't help it.
01:03:13Trying to coordinate with everyone's schedules?
01:03:15I already said I could go by myself.
01:03:16Still insisting on picking me up.
01:03:18It's on the way.
01:03:19Come on, get in the car.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:23Your carriage awaits, princess.
01:03:25Okay, hehe.
01:03:31Welcome back home, Brother Rui.
01:03:33Thank you all.
01:03:34I'm also very happy to see you guys.
01:03:36I'll finish this drink.
01:03:37Here's to everyone.
01:03:40Have a seat, have a seat.
01:03:41That's our zirui for you.
01:03:43Us men from the north are all about boldness.
01:03:45Hey.
01:03:47Brother Rui, how long are you planning to stay this time?
01:03:49Probably I won't be going abroad unless,
01:03:51you know, someone convinces me to leave the country with them.
01:03:58What are you doing?
01:03:59Making it sound like something's going on between us.
01:04:01Ah, let's eat, let's eat.
01:04:03Here, have some okra.
01:04:11Let's all toast to zirui once more.
01:04:18Cheers.
01:04:22You guys go ahead.
01:04:23I've had a bit too much already.
01:04:24Ah, but I haven't had enough yet.
01:04:27Let's keep drinking.
01:04:29No more drinking.
01:04:34Keep drinking, huh?
01:04:36Stop drinking already?
01:04:40No, I mean...
01:04:42I'll just keep drinking.
01:04:43Yes.
01:04:44Keep drinking.
01:04:45Go on.
01:04:46Poor girl.
01:04:49Why don't you make this one a little bit more callsign-y?
01:04:52I don't know.
01:04:53You can call it whatever you like.
01:04:55I'm not very amiable to people I'm not dating.
01:04:58Okay, fine, fine, fine.
01:04:59If you're really that callsign-y,
01:05:01I might be able to make it for you.
01:05:02You don't have to, I've got you.
01:05:03Really?
01:05:04What?
01:05:05You don't?
01:05:06You don't have to, I'm not telling you to stop drinking.
01:05:08I'm not getting wasted.
