Hello, Song Xue. Are you home?

I'm still on set.

I think the shooting will end at midnight.

I still have class tomorrow morning. My goodness.

No expensive facial cream will save my skin.

Take a look at the picture I sent.

You know branded stuff better.

Let me know where I can buy the dress.

Give me a moment.

This is a runway dress.

It has to be pre-ordered at the official website.

Pre-ordered?

How much does it cost?

Do I have to wait for a long time?

It's around more than 10,000 yuan.

And the wait would be around half a month.

More than 10,000 yuan?

And half a month?

Why?

You want to buy that?

Did you win the lottery or something?

It's a long story. Let's talk when we meet up.

By the way,

did you meet Li Haomiao last night?

So, has he transformed

from a weird kid to a middle-aged man?

Hey, answer me. Don't play dead.

Ms. Song, we're ready to film.

I'll be right there.

The shoot is going to start.

I'll let you off the hook this time.

Talk to you later. Bye.

Baylor.

Misfortunes never come singly.

First, there's Li Haomiao.

Second, that brat, Yuan Song.

And now there's this Ye Luming.

Am I under a curse or something?

Mr. Ye,

I might only be able to return the dress

in half a month.

I can't do that.

I just said I'd return it tomorrow.

Won't I be giving myself a slap in the face?

Forget it.

The truth speaks for itself.

Baylor, what have you done?

SENT

Go reflect on your mistake right now!

What should I do?

I'm sorry,

my dog sent it by accident.

Albatross, here, lick this.

All you know is licking stuff.

Do you know how to accept money?

Here, accept it.

Can you do that?

Other dogs would accept the money.

I'M SORRY, MY DOG SENT IT BY ACCIDENT.

He Fanxing can't even eat if she's hiding something,

let alone going home drunk.

Hey.

Don't you know who she was with?

She's your sister, not a teenager.

Why do you care?

I'm a bit worried

that the man might be Li Haomiao.

It'll be bad if she gets drunk and begs him to be with her.

Men have this bad habit of being with their exes

even if they don't have any feelings left.

I don't think it's like that.

That's not Ms. He at all.

You don't know her.

When she's drunk, she becomes another woman.

She'll just ramble on and let things slip from her mind.

If she were a spy,

torturing her would be pointless but a bottle of liquor will do.

Isn't that cute?

Cute?

Are you serious?

Who was it that told me when he entered her office,

even the air seemed to be too thick to breathe?

She always keeps a straight face.

Had she been more gentle, I wouldn't have talked behind her back.

Men.

Anyway, it's really weird that she has never dated

in all these years.

She looks like someone who would have had some sort of puppy love.

That would be

my fault.

SUN TONG LOVES HE FANXING

Sun Tong!

Sun Tong!

Sun Tong!

So you're Sun Tong?

Do you like He Fanxing?

What is it to you?

It's nothing.

It's none of my business.

Who did this?

Stop laughing.

He Canyang!

Focus on your studies.

I'll be watching you. No puppy love for you.

What puppy love? Give it back.

He Canyang, give it back!

He Canyang!

Unbearable memories.

No wonder people say siblings are debts from a past life.

I stopped messing with her.

But now, even playboys won't approach her.

Why don't you do it?

As an act of charity.

Seriously?

That was obviously a joke.

You want to be my brother-in-law?

I was wrong. Look, I was just joking.

You brat.

I'll settle the balance in the morning.

I got you your favorite spicy hotpot.

Goodness, I am no longer like that, okay?

I'm sorry!

-I'm sorry about your flower. -It's okay.

-It's okay. -I'm really sorry.

There are stars in your eyes.

They are glittering.

Can you

date me?

Me?

If it was ten years ago,

I would definitely date you.

What about now?

Now?

You're always late for work, leave early, skip work without notice.

You troublemaker!

Will you be late again?

-Let me go first. -You tell me first. Promise me!

I promise!

He Fanxing, please let go.

No!

Good morning, Ms. He.

Good morning.

You're early today, keep it up.

Don't treat me like a subordinate when we're outside.

You're not my subordinate, you're just an intern.

Let's be friends.

You've even kissed me already.

That doesn't count!

But that was your first kiss.

I said it doesn't count!

Stop that or I'll deduct your salary.

Why are you being so fierce? Can't you be more friendly?

Keep your distance.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Cong Xiao.

Thank you.

Qingqing, you left the gathering too early last night.

You left right after nine.

I had to.

We have curfews.

My mom wants me to be home by ten o'clock.

Moreover, the best looking guy among the six

only stuck around you.

Do you only care about looks?

He even owns three florist shops.

He smells like flowers.

You're not into him? Give me his contact info.

Not a chance.

I haven't smelled any flowers yet.

At least, let me smell some.

I knew it.

No worries, I have my own target.

Had it not been for the free seafood last night,

I would've never gone there.

Who is it? Is he in our company?

Good morning, Chang Huan.

Thank you.

What's wrong with him?

He didn't even greet us properly.

Stupid geek.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

What made you show up early?

If I was late again, I'd have been thrown back to school.

And I thought you were fearless.

Is Aunt Flo visiting?

If you miss her that much, do you want me to call her?

You...

Hey.

You two look like quarrelsome lovers

that are always squabbling.

Just get together.

Am I a masochist?

How is it?

What a big company.

Not bad, He Fanxing.

You're already a director in such a big company.

It's not that big.

We mainly design houses for newlyweds,

so there are only about 30 workers.

As the executive director, I'm like the housekeeper.

No, you're doing well.

Unlike my wife

who only spends and spends.

She knows all the places with the latest bags and clothes,

restaurants with new dishes,

or places with new wine cellars.

She's a food map and a fun navigator.

How do I describe her?

A silly cutie who knows nothing but how to enjoy life.

But anyway,

when it comes to women spending money,

my take is that

I make it so she can spend it.

And sometimes she'll get me gifts bought with my own money.

Like this one for example.

"I love you".

She made it herself.

-Let me show you. -It's okay.

You've paid your balance, right?

Yes, but I got you some spicy hotpot on my way here.

You used to like this, so I bought it for you.

Never mind. I'll eat it later, thanks.

No, don't wait or it'll get cold.

Eat it while it's hot.

We'll be fined if we eat at work.

I must set a good example.

Well, why don't you pick a time?

I'll treat you and the lady to a meal.

Well...

Give me a minute.

I have a favor

to ask from you.

You met my wife last time, right?

She thought that you're excellent

in all aspects.

Her cousin.

He is a bank employee and 33 years old.

Married once but with no children.

Honest and sincere.

And a filial son too.

Fanxing, can you please,

for my sake, meet or maybe dine with him?

Otherwise, I don't know what to tell my wife.

I'm sorry, Haomiao.

I already have a boyfriend.

I knocked but you didn't hear me.

Who is this man?

It's none of your business. Leave.

He tried to matchmake you with an old fat man.

And you want me to leave?

Am I even your boyfriend?

You...

So, you're...

Stop it.

It's fine.

Since he's here today,

I'll just tell him.

I'm your boyfriend.

And I don't agree with you being a bridesmaid again.

You've already done that thrice.

One more time and your future marriage will be rough.

Like your wife, I'm superstitious as well.

Stop fooling around, get out. Go out already.

Why must you be a bridesmaid again?

That role is usually done by the bride's friends.

Doesn't she have any friends at all?

No, you're not doing this.

I know.

I won't. I'll settle this.

You two are together?

He looks so young, so it never occurred to me.

Isn't your wife a few years younger than you as well?

I understand.

People say that

your blind date is a reflection

of what the matchmaker thinks of you.

That's not it. Wait, Fanxing.

-My wife didn't mean that-- -It's okay.

I don't care how people see me.

But I'm afraid

you'll need another bridesmaid.

You can pamper your wife however you like.

But you can't ask others to do the same, right?

She's your wife, not everybody's wife.

I should get back to work.

Let's forget the meal.

But I'll attend your wedding.

Johannes Vermeer,

one of the greatest Dutch artists.

An icon of the Dutch Golden Age,

Girl with a Pearl Earring,

a painting I personally enjoy very much.

A girl who holds back her words while looking back.

Please don't ask questions.

Can anyone tell me the other works of this artist?

Do tell, miss.

"Prepare for trouble,

and make it double.

To protect the world from devastation,

to unite all people within our nation,

to denounce the evils of truth and love."

Louder.

"To extend our reach to the stars above, Cai Minmin!

Team Rocket blasts off at speed of light,

surrender now, or prepare to fight.

Meowth, that's right!"

Quiet.

Please take care of your friend who has lost a bet.

Cai Minmin?

I'll remember you.

And I'll call your name next time.

Mr. He even said, "Louder, louder."

Let's go with Sailor Moon next time.

"In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"

What goes around comes around.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Mr. He seldom asks questions in class.

And you chose this class yourself.

Don't blame me.

How unlucky.

Old Man Ye, are you here to fetch me?

Turn around.

Catch you later. Old Man Ye is here for me.

Old Man Ye!

Careful.

What a dream guy.

Why is Melon so lucky?

Are you jealous? Go ahead and take a stab.

If not for our friendship, I would have.

Old Man Ye!

I love pom pom chrysanthemums and that French restaurant!

I love you so much.

Show some respect. Call me, "Uncle".

-Uncle. -Good girl.

Happy birthday.

I have booked the venue for your birthday party.

You're welcome.

One more thing.

What's this?

Didn't you say your dorm was too noisy?

I bought a 50 square meter apartment in front of your college.

Uncle, I love you!

You're really too kind!

Hey.

I'm driving, stop it.

I'll take care of you when you're old and sick.

You're all grown up.

Why do you celebrate your birthday twice like a child?

Friends for the Gregorian calendar,

family for the traditional lunar calendar.

I take care of both sides.

And I'm going to confess my love

to my dream guy at this year's party.

I don't want to end up like you, still single at 37.

My mom is so anxious that she prays to any god she can.

She even gave you a consecrated love charm.

You better try harder.

What's the use of being anxious about it? I'm occupied with work.

That's just an albatross, not a love charm.

And tell your mom

not to cry every time we talk about this on the phone.

It's not a problem to be scared of a woman's tears,

but if other women find out about this, you're done for.

Enough.

Don't jinx me.

Hi.

I'm He Fanxing from Amazing Decoration.

I'm here to see Mr. Ye.

I recognize you from the other day.

But he's out for lunch.

May I ask what is this about?

It's sort of personal.

Personal?

Hello, Mr. Li.

I'm not in the office right now.

I'm on an errand outside.

I'll head back now.

Okay.

Goodbye.

I LEFT THE MONEY ON YOUR DESK. PLEASE CHECK IT WHEN YOU'RE BACK.

PLEASE SEND A FRIEND REQUEST...

Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry.

I'm paying you 10,000 yuan for the dress.

I had torn the dress.

I'll replace it with a new one once I get it.

From He Fanxing.

Paying for the dress,

then replacing the dress as well?

Come in.

Mr. Ye.

Details about the client's new car.

Let me ask you something.

Why would a person who was

after money, returned the money

after she got it?

Since she's after money, she must be after a bigger payoff.

She's playing the long game.

Just as I thought.

Don't burn bridges. They might come in handy one day.

She's good.

What happened?

It's nothing. Hand me the file.

There's one more thing.

A personal affair.

No personal affairs at work.

I know. You're my superior at work.

But after work, you're my distant cousin.

What did my sister say this time?

Can't you use words?

Last night, she called and cried, begging me to find you a date.

This fast?

I got her love charm only three months ago.

According to her, it has already been three months,

but you're still single.

If heaven can't help, we do it ourselves.

So, is it a VIP member on a dating site,

or someone in her neighborhood this time?

She said to sign you up for the current hottest dating show.

I refused.

Fine.

Just no dating shows.

We'll do a little get-together.

Arrange one like always. I'll go.

Okay then, time to work, I'm off.

ROTTEN LOVE

So, Ms. Song, what do you think of the participant?

It's absurd to assume something that has never happened.

Our world changes, so do our choices.

Why do you think the partner who emphasizes more on the relationship

is better than the materialistic one?

Ms. Song, our show should deliver a positive message.

But are you encouraging gold diggers?

Yes, this is a positive show that focuses on the topic.

So there shouldn't be any hijacking of morality

and labeling of people on our show.

I even saw a college student of mine

get in a wealthy old man's car today.

Kids nowadays are scary.

They should just look for a simple and pure love in college.

Gold digger this, gold digger that. How horrible.

Is it wrong for a proper lady

to wish for a good and secure life?

Even a sparrow builds a nest before it lays its eggs.

The male sparrow in our house

has had the nest ready, yet no one stays.

Look at all we've spent on other people's weddings,

we'll never get it back.

Don't put your hopes on me.

I'm a bachelor.

Put them on He Fanxing.

You?

I don't even care if you want to be a monk.

You have no persistence.

If you ever get married,

you'll be invited to Song Xue's show as an expert on the issue.

Don't waste other people's time.

Women

have to struggle harder than men from the moment they are born.

I would rather have Fanxing stay single.

Seriously.

I can take care of my own daughter,

even if it's for her whole life!

You're already talking nonsense at this age?

After the two of us

pass away,

there will be no one to care of her even when she's sick.

I'll see how you jump out from your casket to take care of her then.

If it's someone like Canyang,

I'll really jump out and deal with him instead.

Just keep on talking about Fanxing.

Leave me out of this. Why do you have to drag me into it?

I'm done.

I'm going to take Baylor for a walk.

He's at my place.

Okay.

Don't stay out too long.

You!

You and your big mouth.

It's not my fault she feels bad for being single.

I didn't ask Li Haomiao to marry.

I told you before

that friend of her wasn't a good man.

A child's words can't be taken seriously.

Even Fanxing is still like a child.

It's so cute.

But why is it called Braised Meat?

It's my mom's pet.

She gave it that name.

The previous owner told her

if she ever gets bored of it, she can braise it.

You seemed so reluctant before,

but you're actually quite aggressive.

Since I have made a promise, I have to walk the talk.

And as your superior, I have to set a good example.

Not again.

You're like a peanut.

Tough on the outside,

but crunchy on the inside when you get through the shell.

What a weird analogy.

By the way,

thanks for today.

If you hadn't barged in,

I wouldn't have known what to do.

You're welcome.

And I didn't like him anyway.

So,

I hope you'll keep it a secret.

So this is why you called me out?

Setting a good example, you say?

What about you then?

Pretending we're a couple walking their dogs?

How ridiculous.

What if I run

into a neighbor here?

How will I explain it?

Why do you care what they think?

They're not your husband.

That's right. They are not my husband.

But my parents do public square dancing with them.

As their daughter,

I can't ignore how people around me see me.

I may not really be into getting married,

but

even the wife of my friend from university

thinks that I'd be scraping for leftovers.

Let alone my neighbors seeing me

walking my dog with a young boy.

How will I explain that?

Just take it as a concern from the neighbors then.

Concern itself is the shadow of stress.

Now you know why I don't want your concern.

Don't mix this up with work.

Also,

don't you dare share my private affairs with others at the office.

Or I'll fire you.

Baylor, let's go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hello. Are you Mr. Liu?

I'm Cong Xiao from Amazing Decoration.

I contacted you before this.

May I know when you plan to renovate your house at Lijingwan?

Hello, are you Ms. Zhang?

I'm Cong Xiao from Amazing Decoration.

You've registered with us during our exhibition.

May I know when you plan to renovate your house at--

Thank you.

See?

We got these registrations at the exhibition.

Call them one by one like this, get it?

Can we really get clients this way?

New girl,

do you think orders come to us while we're sipping coffee in the office?

Should I hire you a nanny since you're so precious?

Dear Ms. Cong,

"Helping new hires is our responsibility."

This is what Ms. He said.

Your intern, Yuan Song, already has his own clients.

But this one, if she cries again, I'll just send her back to her mom.

At least, she comes to work on time.

The company would go bankrupt if everyone was as unambitious as you.

Well said.

He Fanxing speaking.

Mr. Li?

Reservation?

How many people?

Is the usual place okay?

Okay.

Let's get something to eat.

Hey.

Is Mr. Zhou courting you?

He's a really good catch.

His parents are relocated residents.

They live in the old district,

so they don't need much from their son.

And he's a motivated person.

He's going to take the CPA test.

Are you checking out all the single men in our company?

I don't have to. A chat at the pantry will do.

The pantry?

Then I'll have to install a CCTV camera in the pantry.

Pay cuts for those chatting endlessly during work.

I repent.

But I think you and Mr. Zhou are such a match in all aspects.

But I want more than just a match.

I need to like him.

As for Mr. Zhou,

we've worked together for five years.

But the only time he made my heart race

faster than 120 beats per minute

in these five years, was when he fell while setting up

a two-meter tall exhibition booth.

Ms. He, you're already 32.

Even a 22-year-old

takes her partner's wealth into consideration.

Yet here you are, talking about your heart beating like a young girl?

Isn't it obvious?

A 22-year-old girl can't stand on her own feet,

but a 32-year-old can.

At least, I don't have to choose between love or having bread.

I have nothing to say to that.

I have a hunch

that you and this man I'm introducing next will really be together this time.

Did you find me a man again?

It's my senior's distant cousin.

It was originally my date,

but I met a nice florist guy

during my previous social gathering.

I'm seeing him now.

Otherwise, I would have saved that fine man for myself.

He's 37 now.

The reason he stays single

is that he's waiting for the destined one.

Still waiting for the destined one at the age of 37!

And here I thought pure love is so rare these days.

The destined one?

He sounds interesting.

I knew it!

I knew the term, "the destined one"

would hit the spot for you.

She's matchmaking again.

Matchmaking?

Look at her excited gestures. There's no doubt about it.

Coming!

I'm coming.

He Canyang!

How many times have I told you?

Why do you always forget your keys?

It's Saturday!

What now? Why are you here so early?

Professor He invited me for a meal, and asked me to wait here.

Wait outside then.

How can you leave a guest out here?

Don't you have any manners?

You should ask yourself that.

You...

Suit yourself.

Oh gosh.

All right. Come out.

Here you go.

Braised Meat.

Braised Meat!

So that's what she looks like as a kid.

Hey!

Why did you enter my room?

So this is your room.

What did you expect?

Health supplements,

a walking stick, and dentures just laying around?

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?

No!

It's because you came into my room without my permission.

So you want me to apologize?

Obviously.

I'm sorry.

Braised Meat ran in here, so I came to get it.

I shouldn't have touched your things. I'm sorry.

Then...

Never mind. But be more mindful next time.

Come here.

Say sorry.

Sorry.

I shouldn't have said that and let him lead me by the nose.

I should have chewed him out.

Wrong move.
