Rose Florist

Hello, Miss Chen

You want to buy some roses?

Half a dozen please

Zhang, pick some good ones

Yes

Ten dollars please

Thanks

Zhang, has she come here?

Not yet

I haven't seen her step out of school

She'll soon be over to pick up the flowers

What's the rush?

It's her birthday today

I'm afraid if she might be sick !

Lady Rose, I'm here to pick up the flowers

I've wrapped them up for you

Thanks

Miss Ling

How come you're so late from school?

Today's my birthday

Mum told me to invite the headmaster for dinner

You like this doll?

Yes

You can have it

I can't take it

Why not?

Mom told me not to receive gifts from others

Tell your mom...

that this is a birthday present from me

Take it

Thanks, Lady Rose

I don't get it

She's your daughter

... and you love her so much

Yet why did you give her away?

As a mother...

who would want to give her daughter away?

Daddy

Your roses

Good girl

Mommy

Is your headmaster coming?

Yes

Fine

Look mom

This is from the headmaster?

No, from Lady Rose

Oh?

Mom, should I keep it?

Go ahead

Why is she so fond of me?

She knows it's my birthday today

You know her, mom?

Yes

Go get changed, Amy

Alright

Fengyao

Jiacong

I want to invite Rose to Amy's birthday party

You'd invite her?

I think we should

It's not necessary

Now that I can get a glimpse of her everyday

I'm very content

Fengyao insisted

Come join us

You've never...

spent Amy's birthday with her

Then ...

I'll pick you up tonight

Alright

You know, tonight you can tell Amy that

... you're her birth mother

No, I won't tell her

Why not?

When I was studying in Macau

Jiacong was in love with me

And I was in love with him

He had a cousin called Jialiang

We always stayed together

Didn't ever expect Pearl Harbor incident to occur

Hong Kong and Malaysian troops went to war

Rose, Rose

Think Macau would go to war too?

Not sure

Situation in Hong Kong is calm

Malaysia is still dangerous though

My dad's business is over there

So our whole family

... will move to Hong Kong tomorrow

Do you have to go?

What about us ...

Your father?

He's unwell

Rose

Can you ask your dad to move to Hong Kong?

I can't

Then could you come with me?

With you?

Yes

We'll get married

My dad won't let me go

I'm his only daughter

He hasn't been keeping well

Then we'd have to part

God only knows when we can meet again!

Jiacong

No matter how long it takes

I'll be waiting for you

Rose

After the war

I'll come back for you

Wait for me

I should go pack now

What time are you leaving tomorrow?

I'm not sure

I'd rather you not see me off

Jiacong

This rose is for you

Keep it

Until we see each other again

Till the next time we meet

I'll give you a large bouquet of roses

After the war...

I moved to Hong Kong with my dad

Three years have passed

No news of Jiacong

Dad

Hey, finished teaching today?

Rose

You know Fengyao is engaged?

I thought she's in Singapore

She's back

She sent an invitation here

We're both invited

Are you going?

I'm still unwell

What if I faint there?

All the same you may go

Then I too won't

Why not?

I'll keep you company here

You should go

Fengyao is your schoolmate

And you were so close

It's her engagement party

You should be there

I'll just send a gift

I don't like socializing

Rose

You're not a young girl anymore

You hardly go out

You head home straight after school

How can you meet anyone?

Are you worried that I won't get married?

No, I know that you still miss him

Rose

I know what you're thinking

Your mom passed away long time ago

And my health is deteriorating

I hope that you'll get married soon

You've been waiting for Jiacong for 7 years

And there's no news of him

Maybe he ...

Don't say it, dad

Fine, I'll go

That's right

Jiacong?

Could Jiacong be Fengyao's fiance?

Thanks

I'll drink to you

Fengyao

Let's have a drink

Sure

Everyone

Come on

I hope you could be the witness

... at Jiacong's wedding

Certainly

I've been to Hong Kong for almost 5 years

After Fengyao gets married

... then I'd have no worries

Have you set a date yet?

Not yet

We look forward to the wedding banquet

Hello, Rose

Congratulations, auntie

Thanks

Where's Fengyao?

Over there

Please help yourselves to the drinks

Yijen

Congratulations

Thank you

Please go inside

It's okay

Rose?

Rose

Fengyao

You should have told me sooner

Now you know

Have I met your fiance before?

No, I met him in Singapore

Singapore?

Come, I'll introduce you

Jiacong

This is my friend

Rose?

You two know each other?

Yes

We were classmates in Macau

Oh, I see

I haven't seen him for a long time

Seven years I think

No wonder I've never heard you mention him

Please

Let's have a drink

I don't drink

Come on

We are friends

And you went to school with Jiacong

I can't drink

Come on

Cheers

I wish you two ...

Rose

I wish you'll get married soon

Thanks

Fengyao

Your cousins are here

Jiacong

Please take care of Rose for me

I'll be right back

I didn't expect to bump into you here

Neither did I

Jialiang

Is that Rose, the one with Jiacong?

Rose?

How long have you been in Hong Kong?

Over three years

Yes, that's Rose

Where do you live now?

No. 15, Kowloon Village

No. 15, Kowloon Village?

Why do you want to know?

We need to talk

Have you forgotten that

you're Fengyao's fiance now?

Why couldn't this happen sooner?

What if it did?

Then things wouldn't be the same today

Today?

Aren't you happy?

Rose

I'm engaged to someone I don't love

Do you think I'm happy?

If you don't love her

... why then are you engaged ?

It's a long story

But I haven't forgotten

... the girl I loved

After the war

I looked for her in Macau

I still have

... the rose she gave me

Rose

Jiacong, stop it

Please tell Fengyao that...

I left early because I'm not feeling well

Rose, do you remember me?

Jialiang

We looked for you in Macau

Right, we had no idea you've come to Hong Kong

Drop by my place some time

You live in ...

Jiacong knows

Goodbye

Jiacong

What's wrong with Rose?

Said she wasn't feeling well

I have to get you out of my mind

Rose, Jiacong's here

What?

Haven't you been missing him?

Hurry and get changed

Jiacong

Have a seat

Where were you all those years?

I was helping with my dad's business

I spent time between Hong Kong

... and Singapore

You have no idea how much Rose misses you

She is still single

It's good now that you're back

Rose ...

Dad

Rose, you two have a chat

I've to take care of the flowers outside

Make yourself at home

Rose

I've promised you this

It's the past

No, nothing's changed

I still feel the same way

Why are you engaged to Fengyao?

That's against my wish

It's my dad's idea

Because my dad's business...

needs the support of Fengyao's father

He knows Fengyao likes me

When I was in Singapore

He arranged the engagement

After I came back I realised it was too late

Right

It's too late now

No, there's still a chance

I'm only engaged to Fengyao

I can break off the engagement

You can't do that, Jiacong

Why not?

Fengyao is my classmate

Wouldn't want to ruin the relationship

It's not your fault

There's no love between me and her

Since you're engaged to her

You should honor the engagement

Jiacong

If you still love me

... then listen to me

Bestow all your love on Fengyao

Rose !

Because I was hurt

I don't want Fengyao to get hurt

I could sacrifice my own happiness

It's all for my dad's sake

But after I saw you last night

I couldn't sleep at all

I couldn't stop thinking about you

You must forget about me

Jiacong

You're now Fengyao's fiance

Let's just be good friends

I don't want to come between you and her

I'd rather go back to Macau with my dad

Please don't

Then promise me

Forget about me

Rose

Let go, Jiacong

Forget about me

Do you hate me?

I thought we're still friends

But don't forget

We're only friends

Thanks for your bouquet

And don't bring the past up again

Think of it as a dream

I'll try

Rose

Look who's here !

Rose

Jialiang

Jiacong

Have a seat

Sure

You're together again

Jialiang

Are you still studying?

No, I'm learning to paint

Jialiang is an artist now

When will you show me your work?

How about tomorrow?

Sure

I live in the New Territories

That's alright, I drive

I'll give Rose a lift

Great, I'll see you two tomorrow

Where's Jialiang's mom?

She passed away last year

He loves solitude

That's why he lives alone in N.T.

Everything's changed after the war

Let me do it, Zhang

Go buy some seafood

Prepare dinner for three

Rose, Jiacong

Have you been waiting long?

No

Nice place, Jialiang

My friend moved out of the country

I'm renting his place

Have a seat

You've brewed fresh coffee

Would you have coffee first...

or look at my paintings ?

Your paintings of course

This way

Wow, so many

Take your time

You could have brought Fengyao along

She's not into art

Jialiang

I like this painting

This one got me an award you know

You should paint more portraits

I need a model

I'm free tomorrow

Can I be your model?

Sorry?

Are you kidding me?

Of course not

It's a tough job

I'd like to help

Thanks

You must be tired

Take a break, have some tea

Look at this

What do you think?

It's good

I look nothing like that

Honestly, I couldn't etch out your beauty

You must be kidding

Not at all

There's an inner beauty

... which I just can't portray

That's why takes that long

Then we'll do this again another day

Rose

Are you free tomorrow night?

What is it?

I want to treat you to dinner

You're too kind

It's my birthday tomorrow

I wish I could spend the day with you

Do you want to go out with me?

Sure

I'll pick you up then

Jiacong and Fengyao are here too

Jiacong

Jialiang

Who's your date?

Rose

Rose?

Rose, you're on a date with Jialiang

Let's sit together

Good idea

Do you come here often?

No, it's my birthday today

I've forgotten about that

You should've told me

It's Saturday

I know you would go out with Fengyao

I don't want to disturb you two

It's great running into you here

Jiacong

Don't you dance?

Sorry

Let's dance

Why do you keep dancing?

I'm happy

Jiacong

What do you want to drink?

Some alcohol

BOY

You've drunk a lot, Jiacong

In order to celebrate Jialiang's birthday

Another bottle of brandy

Jialiang, cheers

Sorry

I'm going to be drunk soon

It's a good thing to be drunk

Come on

Jialiang, don't drink too much

Sorry, Jiacong

I'm not going to drink anymore

Just because of what Rose said?

I'll drink on his behalf

Sure, cheers

Another one

You'll be drunk

Even better

Don't drink anymore, Rose

I won't

Then I'll drink on my own

Rose

Will you dance with me?

Jiacong's drunk

Rose

Now I figure

You're in love with Jialiang

Sorry?

My feelings for you are the same

Haven't you promised me that

... we'll be friends?

No

When I saw you dancing with Jialiang

I was jealous

You're drunk

I'm not

It's late, you should go home

See you tomorrow

Rose

I want to talk to you

But I don't know where to start

Go on, I'm listening

During the half month we've spent together

I've been so happy

But every time after we said goodbye

I felt so lonely

I wish I could be with you all the time

What do you say?

That ...

You don't like me?

No, I know you're very nice to me

So yes?

No

Are you in love with someone else?

Jialiang

Let's talk about this another time

You should go home

Otherwise you wouldn't get any transport

That's alright

I can stay at Jiacong's

That's a good idea

Go check on him

Sorry, Jialiang

I had too much to drink earlier

No... Don't worry

Jiacong

Can you do me a favor?

Name it

I'm in love with Rose

I don't know if she feels the same way about me

Jiacong

Could you ask her for me?

Sorry?

You want me to talk to her?

I don't mean to pressure her

I just want to know how she feels

Why don't you ask her yourself?

I just did

What did she say?

She didn't say yes...

and she didn't say no

Jiacong

You are friends with her

Help me out

Alright

Doctor

He had a heart attack

Is it serious?

I gave him an injection

Let's have a look

It's you

What is it?

Jialiang wants me to be his matchmaker

What? You...

What do you think?

I have nothing to say

Just tell me

Yes or no?

Jiacong

Do you have to get involved?

You think I want to do this?

Jialiang is my cousin

I can't tell him that

I too am in love with you

But if you really love him

I won't be in your way

Jiacong

How could you say that?

You should be very aware

that I'm in love with you

I've been waiting for 7 years

I'd rather sacrifice my love

So that you can love Fengyao

Why do you think I'm doing it?

What can I tell Jialiang?

Not sure

Think of something

Jialiang, don't be sad

You're still young

You'll find someone

What exactly did she say?

She said she has someone in her heart

She has someone?

Who?

Why do you want to know?

I could have guessed

Rose is in love with you

I know you two were in love long time ago

But now ...

Jialiang, you won't blame me?

I won't

But I don't think that is right

You're engaged to Fengyao

How could you love Rose?

You know that I don't love Fengyao

But I mean, you're Fengyao's fiance now

All three of you will suffer

Jiacong

If you really love Rose

... then call off the engagement

If you can't do that

For Rose's sake

So that you won't get hurt later

and you'll hurt Rose too

Jialiang

Thanks for reminding me

I hope they will get married soon

It's settled then

Sure

I'm off

Goodbye

Uncle Yang

Hey, Jiacong

How come you haven't dropped by to see Fengyao?

I've been busy lately

And you'll be more busy soon

Bye

Bye

Bye

Dad

What is it?

We've decided that...

you'll get married with Fengyao next week

So soon?

Everything's ready

Dad

I've thought about it

There's no love between me and her

It's not a good idea to get married

Are you crazy?

You're engaged to Fengyao

And now you tell me you don't love her?

That's because ...

No excuse

I've made a decision

Dad

Dad

Why can't you be considerate?

I'm your only son

Why can't you be more considerate?

If not for the Yangs' support these years

You think our business could still run?

You could live in such a house?

Please try to understand

What do you want to do?

If you love me

Come away with me

Go away?

Yes, we'll go to Macau first

No, I can't take you away from Fengyao

Or you'd rather see us getting married?

Rose

Our future happiness

... is in your hands

Get your courage

And stop pondering upon it

Promise me you'll come with me

Jiacong, I'm confused

I can't give you an answer now

Don't you trust me?

It's not that, give me time

Alright, you have 2 days to think this over

I'll buy the tickets for the night after tomorrow

I'll wait for you at the Restaurant near the pier

If you love me...

show up before the boat leaves at midnight

If you don't show up

I'll understand

I'm off

Remember... the night after tomorrow

Night after tomorrow?

Rose

Dad

Who was here?

Jiacong

Do you feel better now?

I was hoping I could marry you off

But I'm afraid I won't be able to make it

Dad

Why did you say that?

I'm a candle in the wind

We all die sometime

Dad

I just worry that after I'm gone...

No one's here to take care of you

Don't cry, my child

Tell me

You've been waiting for Jiacong for so long

Now that he's back in your life

Why don't you two get married soon?

It's complicated

I'm not interfering

I just want you to be taken care of

Then I'll be relieved

Never put your life on hold

... for my sake

Hongmian Restaurant

Waiter, a cup of coffee

Yes, sir

Rose

Dad, are you thirsty?

Are you alright ?

I've called the doctor

Doctor

My dad can barely speak

Doctor

What happened?

It's serious

Better have him admitted to the hospital

The hospital?

It's too dangerous to move him now

Then what?

Make a phone call

Check if there's any vacant room in the hospital

I'll take you

Thanks, Mister

Waiter

Another cup of coffee

Get the ambulance, quick

Dad... !

What do you want to say?

Doctor

Dad

I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness

You're very lucky

Cheers

Jialiang

Sorry

I shouldn't be here at this hour

But I can't help it

I'm here for Rose's sake

You told me you love Rose

But you've married Fengyao

Why?

Why?

Do you have anything to say?

Then I'll tell you

You married for money

You lied to a nice girl

And you lied to your cousin

Tell me

How can you face Rose?

How can you face me?

Jialiang

You've got it all wrong

Oh?

I told her to go to Macau with me

She never showed up

What?

Then I realize she loves you

You should understand now

I married Fengyao

... not because I don't love Rose

Sorry, Jiacong

I'm wrong

We're all wrong

Go find Rose

She needs you

Drink up

Thanks

Rose

Why are you so kind to me?

I'm not pitying you

I need you

Last time I asked Jiacong to be my matchmaker

You turned me down

If you still want to marry me

I'll do my best to make you happy

I'll try my best

Say yes, Rose

Jialiang

Rose

Is it too late now?

Not at all

I'm not going to love you for a while

I'll love you forever

Jialiang

Now I know what love is

Zhang

Relax

Just pretend you're in the kitchen

I can't, master Jialiang

Just don't look so worried

Don't move

I'll help the lady to cook breakfast

It's alright

You just help Jiacong

Take a break

Let me help you

You can help by eating

Stop it

The maid's here

It's okay

She has watched me grow up

Have you eaten breakfast?

Yes

But I have to go to the market

I'll go

Just be a model

This is crazy

Zhang, go to sleep

Yes

I'm not done yet

Continue tomorrow

You're exhausted

My exhibition is coming soon

Don't work too hard

You told me you'll love me forever

We've got plenty of time

Jiacong

Does this look good on me?

Yes

The flowers were still blooming

Why have you bought new ones?

So you like roses

Everyone has different likes and dislikes

Sorry, Jiacong

It's ok, I like roses

Jiacong

You're free today

Let's go out...

and watch a movie tonight

No

I'd rather stay at home

You like dancing

Let's go to a club

To a club?

Then I'll get to drinking

Jiacong

Do you think I'm annoying?

I have never said that

Since we got married

I haven't seen you happy at all

Do you want me to put on a happy face?

No, we're a married couple

You can tell me everything

I've got nothing to say

Then why?

I'm not sure

Maybe it's too hot

I'm going to take a shower

I know

Because of the roses

Jialiang

Oh !

Should I put a number on this painting?

No

I'll keep this painting forever

Master Jiacong

Is Jialiang here?

Yes

Jiacong

Jialiang

It's been a while

I've been busy

Where's Fengyao?

She's busy

So many paintings

Jialiang's exhibition is about to start

Why didn't you tell me?

Rose is helping me now

I don't want to bother you

Stay for dinner tonight

Sure

I'll cook for you

Have some fruits

Rose is a good cook

She's got this inner beauty

I think she's getting lovelier everyday

Eat up

Or you'll regret what you said earlier

Are you alright?

You're bleeding

Don't worry, just a small cut

Stay still, I'll get you a bandage

I'll go myself

Stay here with Jiacong

I'll be right back

Jialiang is like a child

He says silly things when he's happy

No, he's right, you ...

How are things with you and Fengyao?

Are you teasing me?

You know I don't love her

Jiacong

Are you still mad at me?

I'm not mad with anyone

Love is a strange thing

Let me tell you...

about what happened that night

My dad passed away

It's the past

That's why I've never told you

Sorry, I had no idea

From now on...

I want to be Jialiang's good wife

And you'll be Fengyao's good husband

You're stronger than me

You can love Jialiang

But I can't love Fengyao

Love goes both ways

I know Fengyao loves you

Be honest

Have you ever tried to love her?

Take me for example

I've always treated Jialiang as a friend

I didn't love him

But after we got married

I thought I should fulfill my duties as his wife

That I ought to love him

We're very happy now

I think I'm pregnant

Congratulations!

Jialiang doesn't know yet

Why don't you tell him?

I must confirm with my doctor first

Madam

Go take a look at Master Jiacong

What's wrong?

He's bleeding

What?

Jialiang, how's your hand?

I'm fine

You're still bleeding

Maybe the wound is deep

I'll go with you to the doctor tomorrow

Of late you tire out too soon

It's alright

Jialiang, you know Doctor Liang

I'll go with you tomorrow

OK

When you were bleeding...

did you feel dizzy?

A bit

Feeling tired all the time?

Yes

I'll refer you to the hospital

The hospital?

They have better equipment

I'll send the report to Doctor Liang

What's wrong with me?

Doctor Liang will tell you

Don't worry

Taking a blood test is a simple procedure

Let your husband know

You're pregnant

According to the hospital's report

There's something wrong with your blood

Sorry?

Don't worry, it's minor

But it's better to stay in the hospital

No, my exhibition is coming soon

You can postpone it

Jialiang, health comes first

No, I've already set the date

Then I'll write you a prescription

Jiacong

How's your father?

He's fine

Remember to call me later

Don't forget

Jiacong

Please go ask the doctor...

What's wrong with me?

He's told you

It's a minor thing

I need to know

I'm waiting to pick up my medicine here

Go ask him for me

Sure

According to the report

He has too many white blood cells

Too many white blood cells?

It is still incurable

He has only a few months to live

A few months?

What should we do then?

Check him into a hospital for a blood transfusion

How could I break the news to him?

Ling Jialiang, Ling Jialiang

Talk to his wife

Wait over there please

The doctor said you are anemic

Huang Xiaobao

Jialiang

I heard the doctor

You heard us?

It's incurable

I've got a few more months

Jiacong

You can't tell Rose

Promise me

Don't talk to Rose about this

What did the doctor say?

Nothing to worry about

Then I'm relieved

Take your pills

Sure

Is that new?

Pass it over

This dress ...

I went to the doctor today

Are you unwell?

Are you pregnant?

Jialiang

Are you happy that I'm having a baby?

I'm thrilled

I went to the doctor to confirm first

... before I told you anything

Rose, I'm afraid

Why? Of what?

I don't know what to do

But I love you

I'm scared too now that I'm pregnant

Don't worry

No matter what happens

I'll always love you

Doctor

I know my condition is incurable

You must think of something

My wife's pregnant

Calm down

I'll do whatever I can

I'm not emotional

I'm not scared to die

But I have a wife

And she's pregnant

I can't die

I must live

I must live on

Sit down first

With advanced medicine these days

I'm sure we can think of something

Jialiang, Jialiang

Send him to the hospital, quick

Doctor Liang

Jialiang ...

He's calmed down

Can I go inside?

This is his wife

Sure

Jiacong, come with me

Rose

Jialiang

Don't worry, it's nothing serious

Stop lying

I know

Don't be scared

For you, for our baby

I'll live on

Don't cry

I like to see you smile

That wasn't a smile

I can't smile

Rose

I know we're going to have a daughter

How do you know?

Because I love you

I love you too, Jialiang

Hold me, Rose

Don't leave me

I won't

And you don't leave me too

I won't

Jialiang

You called for me?

I promised Rose that I won't leave her

But I'm afraid I won't be able to make it

I hope you can take care of her for me

When I'm dead ...

Zhang

Call Master Jiacong

Hello

Yes

What?

I'll be right there

What is it?

Rose is about to give birth

Rose

It's a girl

I knew it

You knew it?

Jialiang wants a daughter

Jiacong

Please give her a name

Jialiang loves beauty

Let's call her Amy

Amy

Amy

This is your father

You know?

Master Jiacong

Amy

This is for Amy

And toys for her

She should sleep

You shouldn't have bought all those

I sold Jialiang's work

Don't try to cheer me up

He died before he made his name

Who'd buy his paintings?

Now that you have Amy

You'll need money

Take this

Okay, I'll accept it

Does Fengyao know about it?

She doesn't

That is it

You didn't go to play mahjong?

No

Why are you home so late?

Work

I don't think so

You could just tell me you went to see Rose

Jialiang's dead

I should go to see her

Why are you lying?

Let me ask you

Did you give the money to Rose?

Tell me

Yes

A widow and a single parent

Besides she happens to be my sister-in-law

I should help her

Yes you should

But you're not just helping her

You still love her

Before we got married

You were in love with her

After she got married

You're still in love with her

I know everything

Why did you lie to me?

I didn't

But regarding this

I don't know how to explain to you

Don't bother

After we got married

You've never loved me

I'm trying to please you

I waited and hoped that

... you will turn to me one day

But you just can't forget Rose

Let me tell you

I won't put up with this anymore

What do you want me to do then?

You must leave Rose

What?

You can't go to see her anymore

No way

Then we should get a divorce

A divorce?

Alright

Do whatever you want

She saw my cheque book

And said that I'm still in love with you

I can't take this anymore

Jiacong

Even I could tell that...

You still miss me

No wonder Fengyao is angry

Yes, I do miss you

But I don't have any other thoughts

I know, but Fengyao won't understand

Why don't you explain to her?

There's no point

Maybe I'll explain to her

There's no need to

We should just get a divorce

Divorce?

We don't love each other

You're wrong

You kept saying that there's no love between you

Ask yourself

Have you ever tried to love her?

If you don't love her

How can she love you?

Don't blame everything on Fengyao

You're in the relationship too

Don't get a divorce...

just because you're mad at this moment

Just like me and Jialiang

I didn't cherish his love in the beginning

And when I'm in love with him...

He's gone !

It's too late

No wonder Jialiang praised you no ends

Well, Fengyao is great too

But you don't love her

That's why you don't appreciate her

I'm going to get changed

I'll come along and talk to Fengyao

Jiacong

Dad

How dare you bring her here?

Uncle Ling

I'm here to explain to Fengyao

Fengyao is gone

She's gone?

She's going to tell her father

What can you do now?

Sorry

It's my fault

I'll go talk to her

Fengyao

You're here to talk to me?

It's not what you think between me and Jiacong

I don't think I'm wrong

I didn't know that...

you two were in love before we got married

Yes, we were once

But after I married Jialiang

I don't love anyone but him

Yes, you don't love him

But that's not the case for him

No matter how much I love him...

he won't appreciate it

You're right

Because he's not married to me

He puts me on a pedestal

I'm a woman

I understand you

In a woman's mind

She won't bear for her husband...

to have another woman in his mind

Fengyao

If you could forgive him

Don't divorce him

I'll leave this town

Why?

If I leave this place

He won't miss me anymore

If you can give him a chance

I'm sure he'll be moved

But

I need to ask you for a favor

A favor?

Fengyao

Amy's also a member of the Ling family

I will leave her with you

Why'd you want to do that?

Because I don't know where life takes me

I don't want her to suffer with me

Please adopt her

How can that be?

Fengyao

You're my friend

... and we are family

Help me out please

It's not that I don't want to help you

But I can't keep you two apart

I beg of you

If you promise you'll adopt her

... then I can leave this place with ease

In a short span of time...

When you and Jiacong are on good terms

Then I'll come back for her

You don't need to leave town

If I don't...

I'll be in your way

I've spoken to Jiacong

Rose

I'm sorry to accuse you

Don't worry

I hope you can forgive Jiacong

He will come around

If you love him

He'll surely be touched

Rose

I don't know how to thank you

I will leave her with you

Don't worry

I'll treat her like my own

I'll do my best

... to raise her

Master Jialiang's here

You're still not changed?

One, two, three

Come on, another round

Rose

Fengyao

Let's play with them

No, I don't know how

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to Amy

Happy birthday to you

It's the first time I'm with her on birthday

Are you happy?

Thanks

Have a slice of cake, mom

Pass it to Lady Rose first

Lady Rose

No, your mom should take this first

Amy honey

I must tell you now

I'm not your birth mother

Sorry?

Excuse me, everyone

I've kept this a secret

I adopted Amy

She is your birth mother

Fengyao

What's going on, dad?

I'm not your birth father

Your dad passed away

She's your birth mother

No, she's not

She's not my mom

Amy, listen to me

We've raised you for 12 years

She is your birth mother

She has never raised me

She isn't my mum

Stop it

Your mom loves you very much

If she really loves me...

Why did she give me away?

Amy, don't say that

Amy

Amy

Look after the guests

Sorry, headmaster

Please sit down

Amy

Why don't you listen?

What you just did

... would break your mom's heart

I don't care

I don't want her to be my mom

She is your birth mother

Well, she gave me away

Amy

No mother would...

give up her own children for no reason

She did it for you

For me?

She didn't want you to find out

... that she's your birth mother

It's for your sake

One time

when you were only little

You mightn't even remember

When you were six

She came back once

Rose

Fengyao

You're back?

Just got here

Have a seat please

How have you been?

As a woman wandering around

... it's been tough

But I made it through

Why don't you write to me?

Didn't want Jiacong to know where I am

You know, after you left...

He has finally come to his senses

I'm so happy for you !

Rose

I don't know how to thank you

I should be thanking you

You raised Amy

She's this tall now

She's started school last year

Thanks for everything you've done

Amy is a lovely girl

I'm here to take her back if I may

Is she alright?

She's fine

She's a good girl

It's embarrassing

Although I'm only her adopted mom

But since she started talking

She has been calling me mom

and Jiacong as daddy

That's why we haven't told her that...

you're her birth mother

Rose

You won't be mad with me?

All these years

No matter where I am

No matter what I do

I think of her when I close my eyes

I've come back for her

Fengyao, please forgive me

I must take her with me

You've misunderstood

I will return her to you

I'm just worried as to...

How should we talk to her !

Let me do the talking

Okay

Master

Jiacong

You're back?

Amy

Mommy

Good girl

Amy, say Hi

Hello, auntie

Ma, it's a cute doll isn't it?

Yes

Daddy bought this for me

Amy, have a chat with this lady

Come closer, Amy

Go on

Come

Do you like dolls?

I'll get you a bigger one later

Alright, dear?

No, thanks

Mum told me not to take things from strangers

Yes

You don't know me

Bye, auntie. I've to do my homework now

Okay, go along then

Why didn't you tell her?

I couldn't

Let me talk to her

Maybe I should do it

Jiacong

Stop

Why?

I shouldn't take her with me now

Rose

She's very happy here with you

Why should she live a tough life with me?

Then let her spend some time with us

As it is we don't have any children

And I do love her very much

Well, as long as she's happy

She doesn't need to know I'm her birth mother

But I hope that...

I can see her often

That's why she has her shop across the school

And I told you to go there everyday

So that she can see you

Now you should understand

She's the best mom

Mother...

Amy dear

I want to see her, I want to see my mom

When will you come back?

I might never come back

Where's my mom?

Go inside

Mom

Amy

Mom

Amy

Mom

Don't cry, my child

Mom, are you angry with me?

Of course not

Fengyao

Thank you very much
