Original subtitles

Mr. Ling just wants you to get some rest at home.

Ling Yizhou, you love being in control.

Even in love, you try to set people up.

I was just trying to protect you.

I'm not your pet.

I can survive without you taking care of me.

I won't let you go.

I never thought about getting a divorce.

I just wanted some time to think about our relationship.

You've never treated me as an independent individual.

I never thought you would lock me up.

You just want to satisfy your sense of possession and manipulation.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 12

Morning.

What are you wearing?

What? Am I too handsome?

His Majesty didn't drag me here just to look at his pretty face, did he?

What's the job here?

Biking.

What?

Come bike with me. You'll get paid handsomely at the end of the day.

You're messing with me, aren't you?

Stop leaving before the conversation ends.

Let me finish speaking!

Fine.

It's a thing online now to sell your time, right?

Have a meal with someone, chat with them, whatever.

I haven't brought you here to do something that bad.

Are you that reluctant to exercise with me?

Find someone else. I'm busy and not in the mood.

Not in the mood? That's perfect then.

If you hole yourself up at home all day, you'll make yourself sick.

Fine. How about this?

For every mile you ride with me, I'll pay you 100RMB.

You're smart. 200RMB per mile, then.

Can you stop being so stubborn?

I'm a superstar who came out here just to exercise with you.

I'll bike you into bankruptcy.

Don't regret this.

Yizhou.

-You're awake. -What are you doing here, Grandma?

What am I doing here? If I hadn't come,

you'd keep hurting yourself, wouldn't you?

Drinking with a fever over 104 degrees Fahrenheit?

Are you trying to kill yourself?

It's just a cold, Grandma, I'll be fine with some rest.

Fine with some rest?

Last time, I didn't interfere in your marriage because

I was hoping you two would get over it yourselves.

What happened then?

Grandma, Xia Lin is just a bit mad with me.

You're lying to me.

If it were just a little bit,

why would you do this to yourself?

Tell me, what's going on with you two?

You're not going to tell me?

Fine. I'll go ask her.

Yizhou.

Tell your grandma the truth.

Do you still love her?

I do.

I used to think love was owning the person, ignoring everyone else.

I thought she'd only have eyes for me.

Was I wrong, Grandma?

It's not wrong, but the scope of your love is too narrow.

Love is indeed selfish,

but it is also about accepting, equality, and respect.

So to get Xia Lin back, I'll have to compromise, right?

Not necessarily.

A good marriage

takes effort to protect.

It should make you better.

Yizhou.

Family is all about love, not logic.

Look into your heart

and you'll know what to do.

Exercise is relaxing, right?

Thank you.

I know you did this to cheer me up.

Why so serious suddenly?

It's not like you.

Thankful as I am...

you still need to pay me.

I know.

What are you doing now?

I'm a little stressed too, OK?

I need to relax. Don't you know how far you biked?

What? Why are you staring at me?

I know.

Am I glowing to you right now? I'm absolutely perfect.

Maybe if you weren't so self-absorbed,

someone would have fallen for you by now.

Stop, I don't need any advice.

I'm very happy with myself.

Thank you.

No need to be polite. Just make me instant noodles next time.

-I'll get going. Bye. -Bye.

-Bye. -See you.

Mumu.

I don't have ten million yet, but I'm working on it.

Mumu.

I'm sorry.

This is the first time you've apologized to me.

You once told me that

honesty and respect are the most important things in a relationship.

I failed doing that.

Maybe in the future, I won't succeed completely...

but I'm willing to try hard.

Don't worry.

Things are over between us. You should leave.

Mumu.

If you're sick, you should stay at home.

I'm not hoping for your forgiveness.

But...

I'll try my best to change.

Even if you don't believe me now, I'll prove it to you.

Take care of yourself then.

I'll get going now.

I'm not hoping for your forgiveness.

But... I'll try my best to change.

Even if you don't believe me now,

I'll prove it to you.

Mumu, don't forget to eat breakfast.

Even though I'm mad, I shouldn't waste food.

Might as well eat it.

Just wear this and hand out flyers.

But it's so hot. I'll have a heatstroke.

You don't have to wear it, but the pay is 100RMB more if you do.

Alright, I'll wear it.

Wow. I even have a friend mascot.

Mumu.

What do you want?

Wherever you go, I go.

I don't have time to deal with you. Do whatever you want.

Have a seat.

Five kebabs and two chicken wings!

-Alrighty! -I'll have the same as her.

OK.

A special lamb kebab, too.

-Got it. -I'll have one, too.

I'm driving. I can't drink.

Sir, this lamb kidney isn't spicy enough!

You shouldn't have ordered so much.

Food-waster.

Sir, I'm paying.

Did you not like the food, sir?

I'll take it to go.

-Mumu-- -I'm home. You can leave now.

Good night.

Xia Lin, don't embarrass yourself.

Hold it together.

Hello, I'm here for the interview.

Miss Xia. Please have a seat.

I actually asked you here

because I am familiar with your previous work.

I think your image would be suitable for our company's next ad.

What kind of company is it?

Concentrated juice.

You can try it.

It tastes like lemon, pineapple, and orange.

It's quite flavorful.

Perfect.

To be frank, Miss Xia,

I've interviewed quite a few people before you,

but none of them were as perfect as you.

Would you be interested in this job opportunity?

Yes, of course!

Excellent, I'll go call the director.

Here are some details. Have a look.

OK.

Xia Lin...

Xia Lin!

Xia Lin!

You came...

I... I think I'm drunk.

What are you doing?

Ling Yizhou, why are you here?

What are you saying? I'm Chu Yan, not Ling Yizhou!

-Button up. -What about Chu Yan?

You don't like Chu Yan, you like me!

What are you talking about?

I...

Tell me, do you like me or not?

-I... -Tell me!

I like you.

Then... give me a kiss.

Give me a kiss!

Kiss me, Ling Yizhou!

Ling Yizhou, kiss me!

Stop it! Button yourself up!

Ling, you're finally here.

Your wife is killing me. Hurry up.

Don't go...

Why are there two of you, Yizhou?

Mumu...

Mumu...

Mumu...

Mumu...

Mumu...

I just received a message saying Xia Lin was in danger.

I found her like this when I got here.

Someone was trying to frame me.

Chu Yan.

Thank you for telling me.

No problem.

Just stop causing me trouble, you two.

I'll get going.

Mumu.

Mumu, wake up.

Mumu.

Wake up, Mumu.

It seems like Chu Yan has also fallen for Xia Lin.

I don't get it.

What allure does this girl have to bring two men to their knees?

What are we going to do then?

I actually have an idea.

But you have to make some tough choices.

As long as it destroys Xia Lin's reputation...

I'll do whatever it takes.

Mumu, I'll go get fresh clothes for you.

Don't go. Stay with me.

When I wake up...

I won't be able to talk to you.

I'm sorry, Mumu.

Ling Yizhou, you're such a jerk.

Yes... I'm a jerk.

After all this happened...

why do I still love you?

I'm sorry, Mumu. I'll never hurt you again.

Really?

I swear.

I'll always respect you.

I won't lie to you.

Whatever you do, I'll support you.

Just believe me one last time. OK?

Tell me, do you like me or not?

Tell me!

I like you.

Then... give me a kiss! Kiss me.

I like you, but I can't like you.

Ling Yizhou!

Morning, Mumu.

Stay there!

What? You're dumping me after a one-night stand?

I was drunk last night, I don't remember anything.

So you won't take responsibility?

You took advantage of me, Ling Yizhou!

Am I that kind of person?

The proof is right in front of you.

I didn't touch you.

But you just said...

I was joking around.

Where are my clothes?

I had Ms. Huang wash them. You'll get them back soon.

Xia Lin, I know you haven't forgiven me,

but I'm going to try my best.

Do you remember anything from yesterday?

I went to an interview.

I drank some juice and then passed out.

I don't know what happened after that.

Was there something wrong with the juice?

That was no juice.

It tasted similar, but it was actually high-proof liquor.

It gets people drunk unknowingly.

Someone was trying to harm me?

I'll find out as soon as possible.

How did you know I was there? Were you spying on me?

I plan on keeping my promises.

Chu Yan told me about it.

Chu Yan?

Why would he be there?

Someone sent him an anonymous message.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

I messed up too many times before.

Let's sleep in for a bit.

I need to freshen up.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to report to Mr. Ling.

Mr. Wen, I heard something happened to Xia Lin yesterday.

We're here to see her.

You haven't been home in days.

I called you, didn't I?

I've been rushing a script at work.

Are you avoiding me?

Why would I do that?

I don't owe you money. Why would I avoid you? Step aside.

Xia Lin.

Linlin, are you alright?

We'll talk later.

I'll get you a driver.

No, we'll get a cab.

How's the investigation going?

The cameras at the bar were destroyed.

The message Chu Yan received was anonymous.

It was sent from a proxy server, so we can't trace it.

They came prepared.

Someone sent me this.

They installed a camera in the suite.

Does Mrs. Ling know?

No. There's no need to tell her.

How's the investigation into the Chu family?

Everything is pretty much in place.

Set things in action then.

Yes, sir.

Got it.

-Xia Lin. -What did they say?

They said Chu Yan didn't show up at the office today.

He's not answering his phone, not going to work...

Did he just disappear?

Why are you looking for him?

He was the first one to find me last night.

I'm worried that...

Yes, you should find him.

Who knows what kind of misunderstandings you might have caused.

Other people might misunderstand. Chu Yan wouldn't.

We're buddies.

You never know with these things.

It's best to be clear about it.

What's up?

Finally! Where are you?

I'm at the pier that we rode our bikes to.

What are you doing there?

Pondering life.

I don't want to see news of your death in the papers tomorrow.

With me being the last person you talked to,

I'd never get the stain off my reputation.

Don't worry, before I jump,

I'll be sure to delete my phone records.

Feifei, don't worry. Go meet that investor.

We're already here.

Alright, I'll talk to you when I get home.

Tongtong, wait for me here.

I'll just have a quick look. Ten minutes.

Alright, just be careful.

I will.

Chu Yan, don't...

Thank God I stopped you.

What are you so upset about?

What are you laughing at? Are you crazy?

I was thinking how if I died today,

it would be because you pushed me.

Pushed you? You were about to fall in.

If I hadn't grabbed you, you'd have fallen in.

You're sick. Are you trying to make it worse out here?

Who's sick?

I didn't start coughing until you suddenly scared me like that.

Why are you posing?

There's nobody's here.

Go home now.

Is that how you speak to King Chu?

King Chu?

Strictly speaking, I'm your sister-in-law.

Go away.

Come on. I didn't come here for nothing.

Who asked you to come here?

I wanted to ask you... I didn't do anything to you yesterday, did I?

A tiny person like you? Taking advantage of me?

In your dreams.

Let me tell you a story.

Sure.

I have a secret crush.

You have a secret crush? What year are you living in?

You're that shy? You should just tell the person.

-I can't. -Why?

Because that person is you.

Fine, don't tell me then.

Go on with your story.

That was it.

That was one sentence.

That sentence is a story.

A predestined, unending story.

God, you're a hipster now.

How unsuitable for a playboy like you.

Hey, can you not ruin the mood?

I'm not wrong.

Fight for who you like. Leave who you don't like.

Destiny is in your own hands.

When did you become such a sissy?

Got it, life coach.

If you keep lecturing me, we're going to have to camp here tonight.

Oh! Tongtong is still waiting for me up there.

Let's go.

Xia Lin, I thought you'd got lost.

I was about to go look for you.

Sorry, I lost track of time.

Let's go now.

It's fine. I drove here.

Wait, Xia Lin, did you lose an earring?

I might have lost it on accident.

Just forget about it.

But these are my favorite pair. They've got a crescent moon on them.

Just buy another pair online.

Go home now.

Fine, then you should go home, too

-Bye. -Bye.

A rather unusual way of greeting me today.

Where did you get this?

Don't worry about where it came from.

She's Ling Yizhou's woman. Don't you know that?

So what?

You rotten child. If Ling Yizhou finds out,

the Chu family's prosperity will be ruined!

Are you happy now?

My last name is not Chu. I don't want to be a part of this family either.

You have no say in this.

You're right, I have no say.

I didn't choose to join, and I can't choose to leave.

But...

-Hello? -Xia Lin, have you seen the news?

Chu Yan has been sent to the hospital.

What?

GANGDONG INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

What are you doing here?

You did this, didn't you?

Mrs. Ling, you shouldn't worry about our family affairs.

Violence is illegal.

If you do this again, I'll report you!

Police won't interfere in family affairs.

Chu Yan is my son, anyway.

It's only natural that I discipline him.

You're not his biological father.

Say that again.

-I said, you-- -Director Chu.

Yizhou.

Did I not make myself clear last time?

Xia Lin is my wife.

I don't care if you act like that towards me.

But if you do so to her...

Director Ling, this is a misunderstanding.

As luck would have it, I have something prepared for you today.

Do take a look, Director Chu.

We can speak outside.

Xia Lin, just wait in here.

Lots of reporters around.

That scared me.

It's fine.

Director Chu, these documents I've prepared today

represent no ulterior motives.

I'm sure you understand that any one of these papers,

if handed over to the authorities...

would cost you dearly.

What do you want?

I just have one tiny request.

Let Chu Yan leave the Chu family.

Never.

I have just one son.

Have you ever treated him as a son?

Ever since he was adopted at two, you've been cruel and harsh.

No matter how much you hated his mother, it's no way to treat an innocent child.

What? You know?

Yes. I know that he's not your adopted son,

but your own child.

His mother abandoned us.

It doesn't matter who did what, Chu Yan was never involved.

If I ever find out after this

that you are hurting Chu Yan in any way,

or if you force him to do something he doesn't want to do...

I can have you sent to jail whenever I like.

You know everything?

I received that video.

Your dad probably did, too.

Listen to me, I really didn't do anything to Xia Lin.

I believe you.

This is the last time you'll get hurt for something like that.

Get some rest.

When you recover, you can leave that family.

Really?

But... how?

You're like a brother to me.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize for liking someone.

That's the most beautiful thing in the world.

It shows I made the right choice.

Xia Lin is my wife.

You are my brother.

That will never change.

That will never change.

What should we do? You look like you're in a lot of pain.

If only we had realized back at the hospital...

I'm fine.

I'll be better after some sugar water.

There's some in the fridge.

Hold on, I'll get you some.

I think we're out. I'll go get you some.

It's late now. Don't bother.

You must be hungry. Eat something

I can't do that.

I'll get some food on the way. You just rest here.

Xia Lin.

Thank you.

No need to thank me. Feel better soon.

LINGSHI GROUP CO. LTD.

Mr. Ling, Chu Yan is dead.

Wen Li.

Buy me a matching mascot suit.

Yes, sir.

Subtitle translation by Jake Eberts

FIRE AT GANGDONG HOSPITAL

Chu Yan is gone.

It's true.

The police are already investigating it.

The coroner's autopsy was released.

Chu Yan was holding an earring in his right hand.

Your earring was in his hand.

With no other evidence besides this...

you're the primary suspect.

So...

Regarding Mr. Chu Yan's death,

we'd like to ask for Miss Xia's cooperation.

You were away from the apartment

at the exact same time the fire started at the hospital.
