Gao Haiming.

Gao Haiming.

I just saw someone in your house.

A dark figure passed by the window.

Stay here.

I'll go check.

Let's go together.

I'll get you clothes.

It's okay.

Is your house haunted?

Ms. Fang?

Mr. Gao, are you still awake?

Ms. Fang.

If you wanted to come back to get stuff,

you could've come back openly.

There's no need

to sneak back in the middle of the night.

I was just worried about disturbing you two...

Disturbing Mr. Gao.

Fine.

Ms. Fang, since you're back,

then stay and take care of him.

Look how sick he is.

I can't handle it alone.

Well...

I...

I...

I'm sorry.

I have things to do at home.

I'll go back.

Ms. Fang.

Mr. Lu can handle things

for you at home.

He is your husband.

No need for you both to go.

My husband?

Since when did I...

Right.

Mr. Lu is my husband.

But...

Well...

We need to handle

things together.

Mr. Lu is

too careless

to make it done.

He would mess it up.

Ms. Fang, you call your husband

Mr. Lu?

Mr. Lu...

That's a very distant way to address your husband.

Mr. Gao, Miss Lin.

I'll go back to take care of Mr. Lu...

My husband.

I'm leaving now. Bye!

Gao Haiming.

Can you stop lying?

I-I'm feeling sick.

Feeling sick?

Fine. Then Feel it by yourself.

I'm going back.

No, don't.

Still faking it? Are you addicted to that?

I just feel a bit dizzy.

I really don't know

if you're telling truth

or lies.

This time it's true.

What's wrong?

Why did your fever come again?

I'll get you back to your room.

Your fever is still running,

Gao Haiming.

Gao Haiming.

Miss Lin.

You and Mr. Gao are up?

Breakfast is ready.

Okay.

Thank you.

System has detected the Player

has been slacking off recently.

A timed quest will be assigned.

Wait.

Player, you must rip off

Male Lead's clothes within 24 hours.

What? Did I hear that right?

Tear off his clothes?

Quests are getting more and more outrageous!

Tearing off his clothes

while he's sleeping

is extremely rude behavior.

Change it for me.

Countdown begins now.

Do I have to stay here tonight?

How am I supposed to do it?

What are you doing?

Good morning.

I brought you breakfast.

Remember to have it

and take medicine.

Have some water.

Okay.

Are you okay?

My hand slipped.

You're pretty agile.

I just saw a loose thread on your clothes.

I'll cut it.

What have I done?

Don't move.

No, no need.

Stop it. What do you want?

I'll just cut the loose thread.

No need, thanks.

Thanks.

I didn't want it to ruin your look.

No need. I don't need anything.

I'm fine.

Time to get changed.

No need.

No need.

Let me help.

No need.

- It's fine. I should help. - Wait.

No need.

Lin Huan'er.

Lin Huan'er.

I...

I'll go shower.

No need.

I-I'll go right now.

This is so difficult for me.

I need to tear off his clothes.

But it didn't specify

tearing the clothes he's wearing.

I'm such

a genius.

Sorry.

What do you want?

I...

Listen,

this shirt is torn

and I want to sew it for you.

Did the shirt offend you

or me?

Neither.

I might have used too much strength

and accidentally tore it.

I'll buy you a new one.

Forget it.

I don't know what's wrong with you,

but

it must be the shirt's fault.

Huan'er...

Go rest now.

I'll sew it properly.

Go rest now.

Fine.

He must think I'm crazy.

But anyway,

I finally finished this timed quest

well.

Dear Player,

for your timed quest,

you only have 2:17:35 left.

Please hurry up.

I tore it. I did!

Warning,

do not attempt

to exploit system loopholes anymore.

Otherwise, it'll cause severe consequences.

Tell me what serious consequences.

What consequences? Tell me.

Male Lead will run a fever for three days because of you.

Wait.

What kind of lousy system is this?

I didn't finish this quest,

so you punish him?

You're unreasonable.

So I tore it for nothing?

(Gao Haiming.)

(Don't blame me.)

(I'm doing so to help you)

(get better soon.)

Hello.

Mr. Gao, how are you?

Should I pick you up?

It's fine. I can go myself.

Don't.

You just recovered.

How can I let you drive?

I'm already on my way.

I said no.

I'll go by myself.

Are you really okay?

Can't talk now?

Maybe I...

Luo, why are you still at the office?

Okay. Don't worry.

I'll hang up right now.

Huan'er.

I'm waiting for Hu Tiehan at school.

In these two days,

have you

been staying at Gao Haiming's place?

I'll get to work.

Talk later.

Don't hang up.

Tell me more.

I heard his parents

went to Sweden, right?

So in these two days,

you two have been living

under the same roof.

What stage have you reached?

Last night, did you...

Stop! Don't imagine things.

I'm going to work now. Bye.

Hello.

She's being shy.

Congratulations.

Male Lead's fondness

has reached 84 percent.

It was 83 percent after tearing off his clothes yesterday.

It became 84 percent now?

Why did this happen?

You...

You startled me.

You left without telling me.

I-I need to go back and change clothes.

Fine, let's go up together then.

No.

I've been exercising lately,

so I'll take the stairs.

You take the elevator.

Why is the school so empty today?

Did you forget it's the spring outing day?

Right.

You still remember that?

I forgot it.

Why are we here?

Practice singing.

In here?

Yes.

Maybe not.

What's wrong?

Just imagine this

is the competition venue.

No way!

In the competition,

there'll be lots of audiences,

and I'll get stage fright.

Let's practice it now.

Come on.

Well...

Come on.

Alright.

(The breeze on the Champs-Elysees)

(The breeze on the Champs-Elysees?)

(It's quite romantic.)

(The breeze on the Champs-Elysees?)

(Dinner together?)

Drink anything?

I'll pour you water.

I'll have tea.

Tea? I'll get it for you.

I'll do it.

I'll pour water.

I'll do it.

What are you afraid of?

What? I...

I'm not afraid of anything.

How much longer do I have to wait?

The meeting minutes from this morning?

This afternoon.

Lin Huan'er.

I'm waiting for your answer.

Wait.

We're in the office.

What do you want?

If not in the office,

then in private?

♪Entwined worries linger♪

♪My heart is not empty, yet pain remains♪

♪Now I see what passed between us♪

♪Walking through the crowd to meet you♪

♪Going through surging tides of people♪

They definitely saw us.

Mr. Gao.

Pour water yourself?

Should've let me do it for you.

Mr. Gao.

How have you been at home these two days?

What do you mean?

What would you like for dinner?

I'll go arrange it.

Whatever.

Whatever?

Mengmeng.

Have warm water.

Hold it to warm up.

I'm sorry. I...

I didn't expect

the weather to be so cold today,

making you get a cold.

Silly me.

It's fine.

Maybe I just didn't wear enough today.

Don't you have duty soon?

Go now.

I took leave.

I want to take care of you.

No need.

Are you hungry?

Maybe I make you some food.

Really, no need.

Right, you have no appetite.

I'll cook you some congee.

Why are you here?

You cook often?

You seem really skilled at it.

Well, I live alone,

so I cook sometimes.

This feeling is so surreal.

I've seen you in school uniform.

I've seen you in work uniform.

But this is the first time seeing you cook.

Feeling unfamiliar?

Not at all.

That's good.

Returning to school today

reminds me

of many childhood memories.

Do you remember?

The cafeteria once

sold the super spicy burger,

and you had to try it.

But after one bite,

your face turned as red as a lobster.

You even chugged two glasses of water.

Of course, I remember.

That burger

was ridiculously spicy.

I wondered

if the chef put a whole bottle

of chili sauce in it.

And, during sports day,

you and Huan'er were running the relay.

You got nervous and threw

the baton straight out.

Everyone was stunned.

Our class's championship

was gone with that one throw.

Fine.

You only remember

my embarrassing stories.

Actually, Mengmeng.

Today at the school,

when I saw you sing on the stairs

with confidence,

shining bright,

it felt

like we were back in school.

So,

you must attend the competition.

You'll definitely shine bright

and win Best Vocal Performance.

Right now, I just hope to win

Best Patient Award.

Alright, go rest then.

I'll bring you

the congee over.

Luo, we're leaving.

Bye.

Huan'er, let's go.

- You go ahead. - You go ahead.

I need to talk to Lin.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Any more work stuff

to talk to me?

Just go. It's all arranged.

Where to?

Relax.

The restaurant is super discreet.

I booked it myself.

No employees

would find out.

And I'll have Mr. Gao arrive later.

Just relax and enjoy

your candlelit dinner.

Wait, no!

Let him eat alone.

I have a lot to do.

And I won't go.

Lin,

how could you be so ungrateful?

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you cherish

such a golden opportunity?

What's wrong with Mr. Gao?

You cherish it, you go then.

Honestly,

having worked for Mr. Gao for so many years,

I've never seen him care so much

about anyone before.

He definitely likes you.

Touching, right?

You've worked for him for many years.

And you are his right-hand person.

Then you must know

all his preferences, right?

What do you want to know?

Tell me,

I'll give you the answer.

Then tell me,

what should I do

to make him stop liking me so much?

(Letao Tower)

(Letao Forum)

(Pinned: Surprised! Has Mr. Gao Been Captured by "Her"?)

(Pinned: Read now! Boss Lady Emerges from the Break Room)

(You guys spread rumors pretty fast.)

(It really feels like the internet age now.)

Huan'er.

What's going on between you and Mr. Gao?

Tell us.

There's really nothing.

Huan'er, we're caring about you.

Exactly.

The domineering CEO and Cinderella

are only in a fairy tale.

In real life,

how could they end up happiness?

We're both unmarried.

Even if we date,

what's wrong with that?

Just because I'm an ordinary employee

and he's a domineering CEO,

then you think I'm daydreaming?

Just imagine, if I were

a domineering CEO

and he's my secretary,

would you think

that makes more sense?

Congratulations.

Male Lead's fondness toward you

has reached 86 percent.

Your quest is almost complete! Congrats!

Well...

No, I...

I didn't mean I wanted

you to be my secretary.

I just...

I'll get back.

Finished your tasks?

- We leave now. - We're leaving.

Hello. Who's this?

Miss Lin,

you're quite forgetful.

Can't even recognize my voice?

I'm Gao Haiming's father.

Chairman Gao,

what can I do for you?

You must feel pretty pleased with yourself.

Miss Lin.

I heard

rumors spreading in the company intranet.

It seems

you've fully taken advantage

of our time in Sweden.

You've misunderstood me.

Misunderstood? How?

Are you trying to say

you truly love Haiming,

and not for his money?

Surprised, are you?

Did I beat you

to saying your lines?

But it doesn't matter.

Because I won't believe

whatever you say now.

Why couldn't I

truly love him?

If you truly loved Haiming,

Letao's new product sales figures

wouldn't be this dismal.

A good woman

supports and uplifts her man.

But a woman like you

is just dead weight

to him.

Understand?

Capturing market share with new products

takes time.

Besides, if I

can't boost Letao's sales figures,

it means I don't deserve to love him?

This is ridiculous.

Miss Lin.

I'm calling you now

to give you a chance

to prove your true love.

Given the current sales figures,

even if I take the production line

away from Haiming,

I doubt the board would object.

When I return,

I'll find

a suitable marriage partner for Haiming.

As for your fate,

that depends on

whether you truly love Haiming.

How rude!

(Current Situation Analysis Product Features, Channel Strategy, Consumer Awareness)

(Wait.)

(I'm not here)

(to finish the sales quota.)

(Even if he gets dismissed,)

(he might be upset)

(and making his fondness rise slower.)

(But,)

(how can I boost)

(sales figures?)

Huan'er, we're leaving.

- Bye. - Bye.

Oh my!

Luo.

How did you get this magazine?

Come on, show us.

I checked several newsstands

and snatched it

from a bunch of girls and elder women.

The last copy. Amazing, right?

Go buy one too.

Hurry.

Luo.

Luo.

Let me see.

(Gao Haiming)

(Reconstructing Letao, Advancing with the Times)

(Gao Haiming)

(Reconstructing Letao, Advancing with the Times)

Listen,

they were all sold out

at all the newsstands around here.

This is the restocked one.

Amazing, huh?

Yes.

So amazing!

Lend it to me.

What?

I'm off work, bye.

Give me back the magazine.
