Miss Shen,

today our marriage

has officially ended.

Thank you for your cooperation over the past three years.

This is a small token of my appreciation.

In addition,

i've also purchased an office

building in your name,

three different cars,

and six

guaranteed investment projects.

This way, even if

the Shen family

encounters another crisis,

these will ensure the rest of your life

is worry-free.

That's not necessary, Mr. Duan.

Our marriage

was always just a deal.

You don't owe me anything.

You don't need to give me anything.

I won't accept it.

President Duan,

the Civil Affairs Bureau closes at 5:30.

If we don't go get the divorce certificate now,

it'll be too late.

Understood.

Let's go.

Three years ago,

Duan Jingyang's grandfather was terminally ill.

His only wish

was to see him tie the knot.

So they found

me, who met the requirements.

To help the Shen family company, Daddy

agreed without a second thought.

Over these three years,

aside from not having a real marriage,

Duan Jingyang

gave me everything.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

We've already registered our marriage.

For the next three years,

you can call me Jingyang.

I didn't know what kind

of clothes you liked,

so I bought a bit of everything.

Wear whatever you like.

This card

has no limit.

I'm usually busy with work.

If you see

something you like,

just buy it yourself.

That's not necessary, Mr. Duan.

You've already done

so much for my family.

You don't need to give me anything else.

Though we're in a contractual marriage,

you are still

my legal wife.

These

are things I

should do

as a husband. Starting today, I'll sleep in the guest room.

From 11:00 PM

to 5:00 AM the next morning

is my rest time.

At any other time,

you can reach out to me whenever you want.

Qianfan,

take your medicine.

Since my mother passed away,

no one has ever

been this good to me.

I almost thought

you were really my husband.

I got up to get some water because I was thirsty,

and accidentally bumped into it.

Forgot to turn on the light again.

All of

this was done by you?

Yeah.

This way, if you bump into it later,

it won't hurt.

Miss Shen.

Miss Shen?

Miss Shen.

Coming.

Where are you going?

I'll drive you.

No thanks.

I'll just Uber.

Please,

take care of yourself, Mr. Duan.

Miss Shen,

regardless of everything,

I want to thank you

for letting Grandpa pass away without any regrets.

Since you won't accept those

material things,

then I'll give you a promise.

From now on,

at any time,

if you need anything,

you can find me whenever you want.

I'll do whatever it takes.

You're Duan Jingyang's ex-wife.

You never have to settle for less.

Really, it's okay.

You've already been so good to me.

I hope

we can still be friends.

From now on,

you're my ex-husband now.

The most

perfect ex-husband in the world.

Duan Jingyang,

you'll never know

what these three years meant to me.

They were a rare moment of

light in my dark life.

You gave me warmth again,

and gave me the courage

to do me freely.

You let me be wild.

But now,

my dream is over.

Daddy,

Jingyang and I are divorced.

Show me the papers.

You useless thing.

Years,

and you couldn't even make the marriage real.

How did I raise

such a fuckups?

This marriage

was always in name only.

You knew that from the start, Daddy.

Besides,

how could Duan Jingyang ever like me?

If he doesn't like you,

couldn't you find a way?

What kind of man is Duan Jingyang?

In Gangcheng,

he's all-powerful,

and his word is law.

Now that you've made such a mess,

how is the Shen family

supposed to rely on him?

Exactly.

We should have

let Yaoyao go instead.

She probably would've had a kid by now.

You think I didn't want to?

It's because Duan Jingyang's grandfather

insisted on choosing Qianfan.

What could I do?

He forced me to sign

some kind of NDA,

and wouldn't let me say a word.

Now look what happened.

It's all for nothing.

By the way,

you lived with him for three years.

Now that you're divorced,

did you get

a lot of benefits?

Nothing at all.

When we got married,

he already gave you a large sum of money.

He doesn't owe us anything.

It's because you're so useless. Look how little money

I've managed to get

from the Duan family

because of you.

And Duan Jingyang

is so cheap.

Sister.

Duan Jingyang,

did he really not touch you for three years?

Could he

have some kind of illness?

He doesn't.

He just respects me.

He's a good man.

Don't talk nonsense.

Respects you?

He already kicked you to the curb,

and you're still defending him?

Now you're just

a divorced handme-down.

I'd like to see who would want you now.

Whatever.

Since you're back,

go back to serving us.

Three years ago,

a guy named Zhao Peng

liked you a lot.

He's now a sales lead at one of the Duan Group's

branch companies.

Branch companies.

Since you couldn't land Duan Jingyang,

someone from his company will do.

He can help me land some collabs.

I'll set you up on a blind date in a few days.

Find a loser leftovers while

you're still young.

Dad,

I just got divorced.

So what?

In this house,

you have no room to bargain.

Don't forget,

I'm the one running your

mother's company.

President Duan,

you and Miss Shen

lived together for three years.

Are you really getting divorced?

It was a contractual marriage to begin with.

Besides,

when have you ever seen

me cross the line?

Plus,

Shen Qianfan

never said

she liked me.

What are you doing?

See something you like?

Everything in your house

is so dead.

It doesn't feel lived-in at all.

I'm off to work.

It's been three years.

You're still so forgetful.

Changle,

where are my black lapel pins?

Sorry, President Duan.

Your personal items

have always been handled by Madam

All these years.

I'm not sure.

Right.

I see.

Excuse me,

I have to take this.

Mr. Duan.

Yes.

Sorry to bother you.

Not at all.

What is it?

My black cufflinks are

in the second row of the walk-in closet,

third shelf of the glass case.

All your regular cufflinks are in there.

Okay.

Thanks.

Who was that?

Just a friend.

Okay,

let me continue.

I liked you three years ago,

but then you went

and married someone else.

Now

you've been dumped.

At least you're still good-looking.

Since the Shen family fortune

is decent enough,

I'm down for

marrying you, I guess.

Mr. Zhao,

about us

Once you marry me,

you have to serve me.

Bring me tea and water every day,

wash my feet,

and serve my whole family.

You're just a hand me down now.

I'm only down for this because of

our history three years ago.

Anyway,

your ex-husband

couldn't have been better than me, right?

Why did he leave you?

Was he seeing someone?

No.

He was good to me.

I was just beneath him.

There you go.

From now on,

just stick with me.

You'll realize

a man like me

is already

the top tier for you.

By the way,

there's a high-end gala in a few days.

Be my date.

Dress well.

Don't embarrass me.

Maybe

Zhao Peng is right.

I'm nothing now.

Even if it weren't Zhao Peng,

Dad would

find someone else for me.

I've already met the best man.

No matter who I'm with in the future,

I'll just be settling.

Ladies and gentlemen,

today's coffee is a limited edition

sponsored by the Duan family of Gangcheng.

Please enjoy.

Try some.

The Duan family?

You don't know the Duans?

The Duans are

the kings of Gangcheng.

They're also

my big man at work.

You're so clueless.

Manager Zhao,

who is this?

I've never seen her before.

Let me introduce her.

This is my fiancée,

set up by my family.

Her family is okay.

She's not beneath me,

but she's a divorcee.

Then you're basically doing charity work,

Manager Zhao.

Drink up.

Yirgacheffe

is a small town

is a small town

in Ethiopia. It's one of the most famous

coffee-growing regions in the world.

Want to try

some washed Yirgacheffe that just arrived?

It tastes a bit acidic.

That's Yirgacheffe's

signature

citrus notes.

See if you can smell

the lemon and citrus.

And a hint

of jasmine.

Yeah,

it does smell like fruit.

This is much better than the last one.

Jingyang,

we aren't a real couple.

Why

tell me all this?

Because I can only be with you for three years.

But in those three years,

I want you to

learn things

that stay with you for a lifetime.

What are you staring at?

Sorry.

Let's welcome tonight's guest of honor,

the head of the Duan clan, President Duan,

and Miss Fang Lei,

who just returned from abroad.

Duan Jingyang.

In all these years,

President Duan has never

brought a date to a gala.

This must be the one he loves.

She's gorgeous.

You're supposed to be an heiress. Why do you look so low-class

compared to her?

So

So

this is the woman Duan Jingyang

really wanted to marry.

Now

he's finally got what he wanted.

Hello, President Duan.

I'm the sales lead at the

Nancheng branch,

Zhao Peng.

I'm technically one of your subordinates.

It's an honor to meet you.

Mr. Zhao,

this is my homecoming party,

but it seems

you aren't here for me.

No, not at all.

I totally didn't mean that.

What are you standing there for?

She's my date.

I truly came for the gala.

Qianfan.

The Shen family heiress,

Shen Qianfan.

She's also my fiancée.

Fiancée?

Did I

give you permission to speak?

Look where you are.

President Duan,

I hope to learn more from you.

I'm going to the restroom.

Fine, go.

Women are so high-maintenance.

President Duan.

President Duan.

Chen Ming,

go buy something for me.

Shoot,

I'm on my period.

What's up?

Um.

Zhao Peng.

Could you help

Find someone else.

I'm busy.

Jing

Mr. Duan.

Running around during your period?

Did you forget you'll get cramps?

I didn't.

I'm just here with a friend today.

That guy just now.

He said you're his fiancée.

Is it true?

Even though he works at

one of my subsidiaries,

he seems slick and untrustworthy.

He's not a keeper.

Think carefully.

We're already divorced.

Why do you still care about my business?

Even if we're divorced,

legally,

you're still my ex-wife.

I don't want to see you throw your life away.

Jingyang.

Jingyang.

What are you doing here?

Daddy is waiting for you in the lobby.

Meeting the parents already?

Makes sense.

Even from behind,

you look so good together.

I have to go.

Head back on your own.

There's a subway station nearby.

Young lady,

that man just now,

is your boyfriend, right?

Thoughtful men like him are rare.

You should hold on to him.

He's not my boyfriend.

He's my brother.

My ex-husband.

Even if we're divorced,

legally,

you're still my ex-wife.

I don't want to see you throw your life away.

Duan Jingyang,

you really are

a truly good person.

It's not because we were married.

You're just a good person.

You really are.

I'm just not that lucky.

Dad.

Qianfan.

At the gala today,

how was your talk with Zhao Peng?

Daddy can tell.

He has feelings for you.

Dad,

do I really have to marry Zhao Peng?

I just feel like

he's not a good person.

No.

How many people have you even met?

To say he's not a good person?

Let me tell you.

Your old man

now has

no chance

to cling to Duan Jingyang anymore.

But with your relationship with Zhao Peng,

I think we'll have plenty of

business dealings together.

Dad,

I've known since I was a kid

that you don't like me.

Every time Shen Yao and her mother

bullied me together,

you pretended not to see.

But marriage is a big deal.

As a bargaining chip,

I've already secured profits

for the Shen family once.

Shen Qianfan,

as a child,

you have no right

to lecture your father.

Do you understand?

All you need to know now is

filial piety comes first.

But

Dad,

I'm begging you.

I really don't

I really don't want to marry.

Don't want to marry, huh?

Don't want to marry.

Don't want to marry.

Don't want to marry.

I knew you didn't want to marry.

Say it again.

Don't want to marry.

Again.

Don't want to marry.

Again.

Let me tell you something.

This company today

was built from scratch by your late mother.

If you don't tie the knot with Zhao Peng,

you'll just watch

your mother's hard work

be destroyed.

Be destroyed.

That's it.

Fanfan.

You and the company

are Mom's most precious baby dolls.

Mom will definitely

protect you both.

When I grow up,

I'll protect Mom.

Mom.

Dad is right.

The company is your life's work.

I can't just ignore it

for my own sake.

If you're free,

let's meet.

Let's meet.

You left something at my place.

Okay.

I've cleaned the suit.

I'll bring it to you.

I haven't seen you in a few days.

Why have you lost weight again?

To fit into the wedding dress.

Didn't you say you'd give me the clothes?

It's here.

I already got it clean.

Have you

not been doing well lately?

It's just a suit.

Was it worth coming in person?

But didn't you come too?

Shen Qianfan,

when did you

become so timid?

During our three years of marriage,

you clearly weren't like this.

I've just learned it.

Give it a taste.

How is it?

Not bad.

During those three years at my place,

you lived so freely,

boldly,

and full of life.

Why now

Is someone bullying you?

No.

Mr. Duan.

That Zhao Peng guy,

you're really getting hitched to him?

Yes.

Actually,

besides getting all worked up easily,

he's pretty good.

And he's good to me.

So don't worry about me.

Don't worry?

How can I not worry?

At the gala last time,

he kept belittling you.

Do you really think a man who disrespects women like that

will make you happy?

Yes.

Whatever happens,

I'll try.

Mr. Duan,

didn't you say

I left something at your place?

What is it?

It's nothing.

I remembered it wrong.

Qianfan,

i've transferred 10 million

to your account.

This money isn't to thank you.

It's for emergencies.

You might need it later.

But

we're already divorced.

So what?

I was supposed to pay you alimony anyway.

You're the one who kept refusing.

Tell you what.

In a year,

if you're doing well,

and you really don't need this money,

then give it back.

But for now

Don't refuse.

Okay?

Yeah.

I should go now.

Dad and Zhao Peng are at home,

waiting to discuss us getting hitched.

Shen Qianfan.

Can you please not

get hitched to that man?

What did you say?

Don't forget my promise to you.

I can give you anything,

and do anything for you.

If you're ever mistreated,

you must come find me.

You're my, Duan Jingyang's, ex-wife.

You have to live a good life.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

But,

in the future,

we shouldn't see each other again.

Jingyang,

I wish you a life of peace and joy.

I hope you marry Miss Fang soon.

Don't see each other again?

Qianfan,

didn't we agree to stay friends?

Why are you suddenly

so cold to me?

President Duan,

why are you crying?

President Duan,

you've really

fallen for Miss Shen, haven't you?

Then why not win her back?

She never said she liked me.

We just aren't

meant to be.

Yes.

Let's drink.

I'm entrusting Qianfan

to you from now on.

If she doesn't listen,

feel free to hit her

or scold her.

Don't hold back.

Uncle Shen,

don't worry.

I'll definitely take good care of her.

My sister is back.

Your brother-in-law has been waiting a long time.

Brother-in-law?

Once you and Zhao Peng get hitched,

we'll be one family.

Might as well start calling him that now.

What are you hiding from?

Wife,

you're back so late.

Tell me,

were you meeting some

secret lover?

Zhao,

don't worry.

She's just a

divorced woman now.

Except for you,

she's undatable.

As long as you're good,

I'll treat you well.

I'll reward you every day

by letting you scrub my back and wash my feet.

You dare push me?

You've been slept with for three years.

Why are you trying to fake it?

Don't talk nonsense.

He and I

You and him what?

Don't you dare mention

that pathetic ex-husband of yours.

You're too scared to even say his name.

He's probably worse than a

rat on the street.

Zhao,

Qianfan is just being immature.

She won't dare do it again.

Qianfan,

come here.

Pour Zhao some wine.

How can you

talk to your future hubby like that?

Right?

Shen Qianfan,

did you forget

what I told you?

Do you not want your mother's

soul to rest in peace?

If you don't listen,

I'll bring people tomorrow

to dig up her grave

and scatter her ashes.

Daddy,

pour the wine.

Mr. Zhao,

I'm sorry for earlier.

She ran!

Mr. Zhao,

Qianfan will be yours sooner or later.

Why not just take her now?

What are you doing in here?

You're almost my wife.

Can't I come in

to see you?

I'm not your wife.

Get out!

Out!

Not my wife?

Then whose wife are you?

Speak!

If you come any closer,

I'll call for help.

My dad is still outside.

Your dad?

Your dad passed out drunk a long time ago.

And

even if he were sober,

he wouldn't help you.

You think I don't know?

In the Shen family,

you're just

an unwanted dog.

Don't come any closer!

I'll kill you!

I'm going to beat you today.

What's up?

You dare hit me?

Shen Qianfan,

you still don't get reality,

do you?

Your mom is dead.

You're divorced.

Your dad doesn't want you.

In this world,

no one will ever cherish you

or respect you.

No.

No.

Nah.

What did you say?

Someone cherishes me.

I've already cleaned myself.

Actually,

besides getting all worked up easily,

he's quite good in other ways.

He's very good to me.

Stupid woman.

President Duan,

what did you say?

Chen Ming,

turn around.

Yes, sir.

That Zhao Peng

must you get hitched to him?

Last time at the party,

he kept belittling you.

Someone who disrespects women like that

are you sure he'll make you happy?

Don't forget my promise to you.

I can give you anything,

and do anything for you.

If you're ever mistreated,

you must come find me.

You're my, Duan Jingyang's, ex-wife.

You have to live a good life.

Shen Qianfan,

I'll kill you!

Nah, I'm not the

hand me down and trashy person you claim.

In this world,

someone truly respects me

and cares for me.

Even if I can't be with him,

I'll totally never let myself

fall into this mess again.

Shen Qianfan,

I shouldn't have divorced you.

Come here!

Shen Qianfan!

You think you can run after hitting me?

You must have a death wish.

Get over here!

Still running?

Run!

Run!

I'll show you!

Help!

OMG!

Still screaming?

You trying to attract some random?

President Duan,

where are you going?

I'll drive you.

Go back.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

But from now on,

we shouldn't see each other anymore.

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

She probably

really doesn't want to see me again.

Miss Shen,

today our marriage

is officially over.

Our marriage

was just a business arrangement.

From now on,

please take care of yourself, Mr. Duan.

You are Duan Jingyang's ex-wife.

You never have to settle for less.

I hope

we can still be friends.

He said you were his fiancée.

Is that true?

Have you

been struggling lately?

When did you become

so timid?

Are you sure he'll make you happy?

I can give you anything

and do anything for you.

Because we're already divorced,

we shouldn't see each other anymore.

President Duan.

What's with all these clothes?

These are the new fall

arrivals for the shop.

There was no space,

so

I put them here for now.

It's autumn again.

Grandpa said

the bae he set me up with

is volunteering here today.

President Duan.

She's Miss Shen.

What's up?

Are they bullying you?

If those big dogs bully you again,

you have to hide.

Got it?

Duan Jingyang,

I saw your ID.

It's your birthday today.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's no big deal.

My family lives abroad year-round,

and I don't really celebrate.

That won't do.

I'm celebrating with you today.

It's too late to buy a cake.

Use this instead for now.

Quick, make a wish.

You make it for me.

I'm giving this wish to you.

Let's hang it up first.

Did you know?

The patient in this room

was in a coma for three whole months.

I know, right?

We called her family,

but no one cared about her.

If the director hadn't been kind enough

to cover her medical bills,

honestly,

I don't know what she would have done.

Shen Qianfan,

if you don't tie the knot with Zhao Peng,

you're useless to the Shen family.

From now on,

you're no longer my daughter.

Qianfan,

how are you doing?

Have you tied the knot already?

How have things been?

It's getting cold.

Remember to dress warmly.

Your stomach is weak,

so avoid cold drinks.

Qianfan,

you're the one who said we'd stay friends

after the divorce.

Why aren't you texting me back?

Duan Jingyang

should be

with Miss Fang by now.

Why does he still care about me?

What exactly happened?

Why is she suddenly

so cold to me?

How is Zhao Peng

from the Nancheng branch doing?

I heard he's pretty mediocre.

Three months ago,

after you promoted him to general manager,

many people were upset.

Qianfan is going to tie the knot with him.

I wanted him to earn more

so that Qianfan's life

could be a little better.

President Duan,

why go through all this trouble?

Trouble?

Just assume I have too much money to burn.

I can't go back to the Shen family.

I need to find a place to stay first.

Luckily, Jingyang

left me some money back then.

I didn't expect

I'd actually need it.

Qianfan,

I transferred

ten million to your account.

This money isn't to thank you,

it's for emergencies.

You might need it later.

Dad,

where's the money Jingyang gave me?

Did you take it?

You have the nerve to call me?

Your money is my money.

What's wrong with me using it?

But I really need it now.

Can you give some of it back?

Bullshit!

Didn't your hospital stay cost money?

Consider this money

as me paying your medical bills.

But that money

was clearly

covered by the director.

Whatever the case,

I have to survive first.

Life is a bit exhausting now,

but it's better than that

vicious den of wolves at the Shen house.

Luckily,

Jingyang once taught me how to taste

and make coffee.

Your coffee.

Miss, is my coffee ready?

Coming.

Enjoy.

Xiao Shen,

the trash outside is full.

Go empty it.

I'm going to unload the cargo in the back.

Okay, Manager.

Yes,

this is

I'm on it real quick.

Xiao Shen, stop what you're doing.

We just got a huge order.

Hurry and make thirty coffees

and deliver them to the Duan Group corporate.

Duan Group?

You don't know Duan Group?

It's the tallest,

biggest building in the city.

Hurry up.

Manager,

but

Why are you calling me?

Get to work!

Okay, okay, Manager.

I probably

won't run into him, right?

Hello.

May I ask

where to deliver the coffee

ordered by Miss Su?

Go, go.

Head inside.

Thank you.

Hello,

may I ask where Miss

Su's office is?

I don't know.

Hello, the coffee is here.

Good.

My coffee!

What's wrong with you?

There are dozens of people in the conference room,

waiting for their coffee.

Now what?

You have to pay for this.

I'm so sorry.

It wasn't intentional.

Someone bumped into me.

Cut the crap!

Pay up and get out.

You've made a mess of

the floor and made it all dirty!

I don't have that much

cash on me right now.

Could you wait until I get paid at the end of the month?

No money?

What does your lack of money have to do with me?

You break something, you pay for it.

Don't you understand that?

I understand the principle,

but I really don't have that much cash

on me right now.

I'll give you what I have now.

When I get paid at the end of the month,

I'll definitely pay you back.

Young lady,

I've seen plenty of people like you.

If I let you walk away today,

I'll never get that money back

in my lifetime.

No, ma'am, I won't.

Shut up!

Pay up and get out now!

Otherwise, I'm calling the police

and having you locked up for a few days.

Ma'am,

Don't touch me!

Do you know how much this outfit

costs?

And you just touch it?

What are you all staring at?

You still think you can leave?

What's going on?

President Duan.

I kindly ordered coffee for everyone,

but this piss poor employee

spilled it all.

I was just about to call the police on her.

Aren't you also

an employee working for the company?

Me?

When has the company ever

made things difficult for someone over such

a small amount of money?

I

I was just worried about the company's money.

Are you okay?

Should I have a secretary

take you to the hospital for a check-up?

No.

I can't let Duan Jingyang

see my face.

I can't let him see

me like this, so disheveled.

It's fine.

Here's the money to compensate you.

What?

What's happening?

Looks good, right?

Chen Ming.

President Duan.

Go find out who that person was.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Drawing.

You try it.

Just try it.

Be serious.

So what if I drew it wrong?

What are you laughing at?

So this house used to be

so lively.

President Duan.

I found her. The girl who delivered coffee

to the company today

was Miss Shen.

Was Miss Shen.

Your ex-wife.

What did you say?

Miss Shen

is currently working at a coffee shop.

She rents a place in the suburbs.

Also,

I found out that three months ago,

she was in a

very serious car accident

and was only recently discharged from the hospital.

She's not doing

well at all.

Where does she live now?

I'm not sure.

Come with me tomorrow morning

to her workplace.

But you have a very important

international conference tomorrow morning.

Cancel it.

But

I said cancel it.

Shen Qianfan.

Who gave you permission

to let yourself get so miserable?

Enjoy your meal.

President Duan,

Miss Shen

is right inside.

Aren't you going in, President Duan?

Qianfan probably doesn't want me

to see her right now.

Why?

No woman

wants her ex to see

her in a difficult situation.

Qianfan's fiancé?

Why is he with another woman?

Server!

I'd like to order.

Coming!

What would you like to order?

It's you!

Shen Qianfan?

What are you doing here?

Weren't you hit by a car?

Didn't you tell me

she'd already run off?

How is she here?

Shen Yao.

You refused to tie the knot

with Zhao Peng back then.

What,

are you down for it now?

Cut the crap!

Pengpeng was just promoted to

General Manager three months ago.

He's so outstanding.

Of course I wasn't unwilling.

I see.

But Zhao Peng,

what you did,

others might not know,

but you know it yourself, don't you?

What are you talking about?

I haven't done anything.

Anyone who gets involved with a hand me down like you

will catch a bullet.

Only I,

I pitied you before.

I must've been blind to want to marry you.

Zhao Peng!

How dare you say you didn't do anything?

Three months ago, you clearly

Shut up!

You hit me?

Do you know

I'm from the Duan Group of Nancheng?

President Duan.

As a man,

your responsibility to your partner

is to give her weapons,

pave the way,

and build her up.

To give her the courage to face the world.

Not to deceive her

trust

and trample her self-respect like you do.

President Duan, I

Duan Jingyang?

What are you doing here?

Didn't you and her

Yaoyao.

You know President Duan?

What were you just saying?

The three of you.

Miss Shen Qianfan and I

are fake married.

This matter,

besides you,

I don't want anyone else to know.

Understand?

If anyone leaks this,

I will make sure

you won't be able to stay in this city

for even one day.

I don't know him.

I didn't say anything.

I don't know him.

I

I didn't say anything.

I don't know him.

President Duan.

I

I'm Zhao Peng, the General Manager of the branch company.

You even promoted me before.

Is there some kind

of misunderstanding here?

Look at my hand,

you're practically breaking it.

I just happened to see you about to hit a woman.

What misunderstanding could there be?

You mean her?

This is my ex-fiancée.

You've met her before.

But right before we were getting hitched,

she ran off with someone.

I was just teaching her a lesson.

You're not married?

How could I possibly tie the knot

with a hand me down like her?

She's been tied the knot before.

Her ex-husband was just

a nobody.

And even he

dumped her.

Shen Qianfan!

You're lucky you ran into

President Duan today.

If you dare to talk nonsense again,

I'll come beat you up every day.

That's enough.

President Duan, you're busy.

I won't bother you.

You should back off from women like her, too.

Otherwise, you'll just invite trouble.

Shen Qianfan.

Turn around.

Duan Jingyang,

what exactly do you want?

Chen Ming,

get out of the car.

I have something to say to Miss Shen.

Why are you here?

What about the money I gave you before?

I didn't tie the knot with Zhao Peng.

My father disowned me.

That money

He took it all, too.

I'm working here

To support myself.

What about that car accident?

What was that all about?

I sent you so many messages.

Why didn't you reply?

We have nothing

To do with each other anymore.

Why should I tell you any of this?

Fine.

One last question.

Since your life is so miserable

Why didn't you come to me?

When we divorced

I prepared a car for you

A house

And money.

You didn't want any of it.

Did you really want

This kind of life for yourself?

What's wrong

With my life now?

Fine.

You're exhausting yourself every day

Living in a rental in the suburbs

And being bullied by that scumbag

Zhao Peng.

Shen Qianfan

You call this fine?

I'm self-sufficient now.

I don't think it's bad.

Come home with me now.

Everything that happened

During this time

One by one, piece by piece

Explain it all to me.

I want to know

Exactly what you've been through.

I still have to work.

Duan Jingyang, what do you think you're doing?

I'm not off the clock yet.

I've got you.

You can leave whenever you want.

Chen Ming, drive.

Careful.

Drink the milk first.

I can do it myself.

Now

Eat something.

I'll cook.

Come and eat.

There wasn't much

In the fridge.

I just made some easy noodles.

This is

The sticker I put up before.

How is it still here?

Not to your taste?

No.

It's delicious.

Compared to your usual cooking

it's actually not bad.

It feels like

We're back in those three years.

But I know

This isn't then.

Qianfan.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

I do.

Then can you tell me

During this time

What exactly happened to you?

During this time

What exactly happened to you?

Three months ago

The day we met

When I got home

Zhao Peng was there.

And then?

He was drunk and tried to force himself on me.

To get away from him

I hit him.

Then I ran out into the street.

During the struggle

The accident happened.

So after that

You were in the hospital

For three whole months?

I found out later

That it was a random

Who sent me to the hospital.

The director helped me

By paying my medical bills.

Shen Qianfan.

Let me get payback for you.

I'll get payback for you.

Whether it's Zhao Peng or your father

Or that stepmother

And her daughter.

I'll make them all pay.

But

This has nothing to do with you.

Well, I am your ex-husband.

I told you

For the rest of your life

You must live a good life.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

But I don't want revenge.

I think my life

Is fine now.

It's very peaceful.

Peaceful?

I know what kind of man

Your father is.

He's always used your mother to threaten you.

And that Zhao Peng

To stop you from talking

He'll definitely come looking for trouble again.

The wrongs and hurts you've suffered

If they don't get a just response

Those wounds

Will rot on you forever.

Shen Qianfan

Don't dream that they

will wise up.

I don't want you

Living in a nightmare forever.

I also don't want

The rest of your life

To be spent like this.

If you just say the word

You can use

The status of Mrs. Duan

To get payback on them.

I

Am yours anytime.

It's not that I haven't thought of revenge.

But

But you can't do it.

Or rather, you're afraid.

You're afraid of bringing

Even more harm to yourself.

So

I'll get this payback for you.

You're my ex-wife.

I'm Zhao Peng's boss.

The three in the Shen family

Won't dare tell anyone

About our marriage.

So Shen Qianfan

I am

Your perfect blade.

Duan Jingyang

You're about to tie the knot with Miss Fang.

Why are you still so good to me?

Like this

How can I ever let you go?

Though I don't know

Why you suddenly pushed me away

Rather than that

I might as well be of some value to you.

This has nothing to do with you.

And there's no benefit for you.

I'm a businessman.

Whether there's a benefit

I'll be the judge.

It figures, it's still because

It benefits him.

I actually thought

He might like me a little.

So what do you plan to do?

With your power

You could easy

Take care of them.

There's no rush.

I'll help them reach the top first.

Then I'll turn them into

Street rats that even dogs despise.

Did I scare you?

It's just the first time I've seen you

Like this.

What happens after the payback?

We'll deal with that when the time comes.

We'll deal with that when the time comes.

Fine.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

You'll still be staying in the master bedroom for now.

Your things

are still there.

Still there.

Lately,

work has been busy.

I haven't had time to clear them out.

I was just picking up some clothes.

You can just leave it to the housekeeper.

I can sleep on the sofa too.

If I sleep in the master bedroom,

would it be inconvenient?

Ms. Shen,

I'm not so undignified

as to let my ex-wife sleep on the couch.

But we're already divorced.

You'll have to start a new life sooner or later.

Here,

besides you,

no other woman has ever been here.

So you don't have to

worry about that.

You must be tired today.

Get some rest.

Jingyang, what are you doing?

Come out and hang for a bit.

Forget it.

You guys go ahead.

You're such a buzzkill.

You've been back for so long,

and I've barely seen you.

Am I still

your most important person?

Probably not.

Duan Jingyang, what do you mean by that?

You

You've been drinking?

In all these years,

I've never seen you touch alcohol.

What's up?

Sis.

I regret the divorce.

Qianfan.

Morning.

Mr. Duan.

That outfit suits you.

It's beautiful.

Are you going out?

To the coffee shop.

It opens at nine.

You really like that place.

I do.

The owner is a bit annoying,

but there are lots of flowers.

The regulars are nice too.

Right.

You like flowers.

What?

Nothing.

That shop is yours from now on.

You can run it however you want.

Me?

Mine?

When did you buy it?

Let's go.

From now on,

make me a cup of coffee every day.

Consider it paying off your debt.

Your favorite Yirgacheffe pour-over.

Smells great.

Then I'll get back to work.

Miss Shen Yao,

can you grab a drink with me?

A painting of Guan Gong.

Looking at this?

Looking at this?

Looking at this?

Looking at this?

Me?

What's up?

Is it inconvenient, Miss Shen Yao?

No, President Duan.

It's my honor.

Please.

President Duan,

are you here for Shen Qianfan?

You two

aren't getting back together, are you?

She's just an ex.

I never fall in love with my ex again.

Besides,

you know very well

why Qianfan

and I got hitched.

You're right.

That kind of woman

is completely out of your league.

Then why are you here?

Haven't you thought

that I came here to see you?

President Duan,

the fact that you and Shen Qianfan parted ways

I haven't told a soul.

Even Zhao Peng doesn't know.

Then why did you come looking for me?

There's one thing

I haven't been able

to figure out.

What's that?

Someone like you, Miss Shen Yao,

who is so talented

and well-educated,

how could you be a thing with a guy like Zhao Peng?

What does Duan Jingyang

mean by this?

He's not into me, is he?

President Duan,

President Duan,

I don't understand what you're saying.

There is a lady,

lovely and bright.

What do you think,

Miss Shen?

Would you like to be my

personal companion?

Me, your personal companion?

President Duan,

you're not joking, are you?

Do you think I'm that bored,

or

do you lack confidence in yourself?

No,

President Duan.

I wouldn't dare think that.

A personal companion

how is that any different from

being a girlfriend?

It seems Duan Jingyang

is really into me.

If I could get hitched to him,

I'd be

the most noble woman in Gangcheng.

I'm willing to be your personal companion.

President Duan,

is there anything else?

Nothing much,

it's just that Zhao Peng

I'll part ways with him today.

The two of us never

had any relationship.

He's the one who's been clinging to me.

You have to believe me.

Do something for me,

and I'll believe you.

No matter what,

Shen Qianfan and I

were married in name.

Bout that Zhao Peng,

he is a general manager at

one of my subsidiaries.

As for me,

I don't want

their mess

to leave a stain on my life.

So,

I need to know

all the details

all the details

all the details

and evidence

of Shen Qianfan's car accident from three months ago. Once this

is done,

I'll give you ten million upfront.

That's way more than

my Daddy ever gives me.

That stingy old fart

only gives me

a few dozen grand in pocket money each time.

Duan Jingyang is much more generous.

Don't worry, President Duan.

The task you gave me,

I'll get right on it.

Just wait for my good news.

The water is cold, let me do it.

The water is cold, let me do it.

What did you say to Shen Yao?

Nothing.

Just playing her.

Playing her?

Shen Yao is simple-minded.

She could be a thing with Zhao Peng

for a promotion,

and she can ruin him for money.

You promised her money?

You can't give her money.

Otherwise I

Otherwise what?

Otherwise, I'll never be able to pay you back.

Don't you have to go to the office today?

No.

And you don't need to see Miss Fang Lei?

Why would I see her?

This Duan Jingyang,

what is up with him?

Even if I'm his ex-wife,

he shouldn't ignore his current girlfriend

like this.

I can handle things here.

You should head back.

You want me gone that badly?

Sick of me after just a bit?

It's not that.

Fine.

I'll come back to pick you up tonight.

Once I fully gain

Duan Jingyang's trust

and conquer him,

I'll be the first lady of Gangcheng.

Baby doll,

I'm back.

Any plans for tonight?

Hubby,

I've been waiting for you for so long.

Love.

How is the company doing lately?

It is peachy, of course.

I am the general manager now.

Even if there are a few blind fools

who look down on me,

I was personally promoted

by President Duan.

Besides, today

Secretary Chen said

there is a chance

I will be promoted again.

No matter how high you climb,

you are still Duan Jingyang's dog.

You will never be as good as him.

You are so amazing, love.

I want to marry you in a sec.

Really?

I have even more impressive things to tell you.

Like what?

Tell me, love.

How do you think

Shen Qianfan's car crash

three months ago

really happened?

It was you?

Make me happy tonight,

and I will tell you.

I can do it myself.

I used to always do this for you.

Why not now?

Back then,

you were at least

my husband in name.

Now,

you are just my ex-husband.

Ungrateful.

By the way,

tomorrow,

you are not going to that cafe again, are you?

We agreed on one cup a day

to settle the debt.

Are you trying to renege on the first day?

No.

It is just that

you have such a large group to run.

It is not good

for you to be away from the office.

Do not worry.

My company does not have

anyone that stupid.

It is late.

I am going to shower.

As you requested,

I have informed Zhao Peng

about his upcoming promotion.

Good.

Also, you have three meetings tomorrow.

They are scheduled for

Mr. Duan,

I can do it myself.

Don't move.

This scene

feels like

we are back in those three years.

How can you fall in

your own yard?

If only time

could stop at this moment.

How wonderful that would be.

What are you smirking at?

Nothing.

It is nothing.

You

what are you doing?

I want to kiss you.

RW.

No.

Qianfan,

who exactly am I

in your eyes?

We are neither

husband and wife in name,

nor are we a couple.

This is not appropriate.

Qianfan.

Get out.

Then get some rest.

Duan Jingyang,

you already have Fang Lei.

Why are you still messing with me?

President Duan,

this is Shen Yao.

I just saw your number

on Zhao Peng's phone.

What is it? The truth about Shen Qianfan's crash

three months ago.

I have the

voice recorder.

When should I give it to you?

Tomorrow.

Is that okay?

President Duan,

you asked for.

You asked for.

Regarding Zhao Peng,

it figures he was the one behind the crash.

Well done.

Here is ten million.

Thank you, President Duan.

I still have things to do.

Miss Shen Yao,

please, help yourself.

As for Zhao Peng

I trust you know what

to do next.

Yes.

I understand.

I understand everything.

Baby doll,

did you miss me?

Zhao Peng,

I called

to part ways with you.

Part ways?

Why?

Are you on drugs?

You are the one on drugs.

I never liked you anyway.

You were always out of my league.

I only stayed with you

because I felt sorry for you.

I am out of your league?

Shen Yao,

this is not like when you

begged me to sleep with you.

Tell me,

why are we really parting ways?

You are so annoying.

I just do not like you anymore.

If you do not

give me a clear reason today,

I will treat you

just like I treated Shen Qianfan.

Try me if you do not believe it.

It was Shen Qianfan.

She said you are a sicko.

What did you say?

Anyway,

Shen Qianfan said

you are just trashy.

Anyways, I already

have someone I like.

Stop bothering me.

Finally, I am ditching him.

It won't be long

before I am by Duan Jingyang's side.

Ten million.

That fuckups, Shen Chunqiu,

could not earn this in a year.

Shen Qianfan,

you call me trashy?

A second-hand hand me down

is not any better.

Fine.

This time,

I will make you rot to the core.

President Sun,

it is Peng.

Did you not say before

that you wanted to find a different kind of girl?

Well,

I have a young divorcee here.

I think you will like her.

I will be back next time.

Take care.

Business is so slow.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to look out for you.

A friend of mine

is hosting an outdoor event today.

He needs a barista.

You should go.

I am not going.

Shen Qianfan,

do not be so ungrateful.

I feel sorry for you

so I am bringing you business,

and you are giving me attitude?

I said,

I am not going.

Well, let me tell you,

you are going whether you like it or not.

Come on, let's go.

What are you doing?

Let's go.

Come with me.

Stop struggling.

Move.

President Duan,

why are you buying so many stickers?

Only kids like these.

Qianfan is just a kid.

My kid.

Qianfan.

Zhao Peng,

where exactly are you taking me?

Behave yourself.

Stop moving.

Drive faster.

Qianfan is missing.

Drive. I will check the surveillance.

Yes, sir.

Shen Qianfan,

these are imported drugs I gave you.

In a while,

you can have some real fun with President Sun.

Mr. Sun.

She's here.

Come up.

I found her, President Duan.

Half an hour ago,

Zhao Peng took Miss Shen away.

Surveillance shows

they went to the Gangcheng Hotel.

Hello, President Duan.

President Duan, Secretary Chen.

Check where these two

are located.

In room 1808.

They've been up there for a while.

Also,

there's another man

who just went to 1808.

Who is he?

He's Mr. Sun from Collab Corp.

Sun Xun.

A supplier for your branch office.

A small company.

Immediately terminate

all cooperation with Sun Xun.

Yes, sir.

Who are you?

I'm looking for Mr. Duan.

Who are you?

How dare you barge into my room!

Chen Ming.

Stop hitting me!

Hey, look,

what did I ever do to you?

The one lying on the bed

is my ex-wife.

What do you think?

No,

it was them.

No,

she's already your ex-wife,

why do you still care?

Wait,

if you wanted to join in,

you should have just said so.

Why hit me?

Chen Ming.

Drag him out.

Let's go.

Do you know who I am?

Move it.

Duan Jingyang.

What took you so long?

What did you say?

I said,

I'm so hot.

Help me.

Qianfan.

Do you see who I am?

Duan

Jing

yang.

My ex-husband.

Qianfan.

You said it yourself.

We aren't husband and wife.

We aren't a couple either.

So,

are you still

But I miss you so much.

One more time.

President Duan,

you finally called me.

I want your father's company.

I don't care if you coax or trick him,

by next week,

I want to see the Shen family's company

under my name.

President Duan,

but

the company is my Daddy's

most precious possession.

You,

aren't you making things difficult for me?

I see.

My birthday party is at the end of the month.

I originally

wanted to introduce you to my family.

Since that's the case,

then never mind.

Wait, wait, President Duan.

I was just joking.

Don't worry.

As long as I can be with you,

I'll do anything.

Good.

Since Duan Jingyang

invited me to

his birthday party next week,

does that mean

as long as I get this done,

the position of Mrs. Duan

will definitely be mine?

Once I marry into the Duan family,

it's useless even if Daddy blames me.

Maybe

he'll even be proud of me.

Duan,

Mr. Duan.

Does your head still hurt?

How did I end up here?

How did I get back?

You forgot so quickly?

We

slept together at the hotel.

Yes.

You were the one who started it.

That's impossible.

How could I do something like that to you?

Duan Jingyang.

What took you so long?

What did you say?

I said,

I'm so hot.

Help me.

It really was me.

Mr. Duan,

I was drugged yesterday.

I had no idea

how things happened.

It's okay.

How could it be okay?

This isn't a small matter.

It affects your reputation.

Then what do you want to do?

This was my mistake.

Since it was a mistake,

then we

should pretend

nothing happened.

Okay?

But it already happened.

So what?

We can't just get together

because of something like this.

Anyways,

I'll forget it.

Wait,

I've already forgotten it.

So many divorced people

can remarry.

Why can't we?

I can't believe you're asking me why.

Duan Jingyang,

do you want me and Miss Fang

to both stay by your side?

How can I act like

nothing ever happened?

The car is here.

I'll take you.

No need.

I can take care of myself.

I can't have you drive me every day.

What's up with that?

By the way,

that plan of yours,

when will it end?

Are you in a hurry

to see their consequences,

or do you want to escape from here?

I just think

the sooner we get back to

our own lives,

the better it'll be for both of us.

Since you won't let me drive you,

promise me one thing.

From now on,

when I'm not with you,

if someone bullies you,

don't be weak and run away.

Hit them back.

You mean

I mean anyone.

Whoever bullies you,

hit them back.

If things go south, it's on me.

I'll have your back.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

And also

The owner must have

offended someone.

What happened?

I don't know.

Some guy is trashing the shop.

Jiang Shizi,

Yun Shizi,

Zhao Peng,

stop!

Shen Qianfan,

quite capable, aren't you?

Even daring to mess with President Sun.

It seems

you really don't want

to stay in Gangcheng anymore.

What President Sun?

Don't play dumb with me.

President Sun told me

that in the hotel room last night,

someone claiming to be

your ex-husband

beat him up.

You definitely put him up to it.

It was Jingyang.

You're still laughing?

Hurry up and hand your ex-husband

over to me.

President Sun was beaten senseless last night,

so he didn't see clearly

what he looks like.

Otherwise,

I would have beaten him up long ago

and hung him from a tree.

Zhao Peng,

you drugged me yesterday

and found someone to humiliate me.

The one who deserves to be beaten is you, right?

So what?

You still want to hit me?

Go ahead.

In the future when I'm not

by your side,

if someone bullies you,

don't be weak and run away.

Hit back.

If you break something, it's on me.

I'll back you up.

Hit me.

You dare to hit me?

Try hitting me again!

What if I hit you?

People like you deserve it.

I really regret not hitting you sooner.

Hit me.

The footage of you trashing my shop

was all captured on camera.

And about what happened yesterday,

do you want me to go to your company

and let everyone know

exactly how filthy you are in private?

Fine.

You have the balls.

You just wait.

Sooner or later,

I'll kill you and that

ex-husband of yours.

The little girl has turned into a wildcat.

Turns out,

the feeling of hitting a scumbag

is so refreshing.

President Duan,

since you care so much about Miss Shen,

why didn't you go in just now?

Zhao Peng still doesn't know

that Qianfan's ex-husband is me,

so he bullies her over and over.

Besides,

I actually prefer

that Qianfan has the ability to protect herself.

Especially when I'm not around.

President Duan,

after I got my dad drunk last night,

I got the company.

The Shen Group is yours now.

For your birthday banquet,

you must invite me.

Stupid thing.

Find a few people

to help Qianfan clean up.

I'm quite busy lately.

Keep a close eye on this place.

Understood,

President Duan.

You're back.

Just in time for dinner.

So many dishes.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

You're so polite to me now.

During those three years,

weren't you quite capable of acting out?

Your mother's company,

I've gotten it back for you.

The company is my dad's life.

All these years,

he has relied on the Shen Group

to maintain his good look.

How could he give it to you so easily?

I should also thank your

half-sister,

Shen Yao.

You made her do it.

What's up?

What do you mean what's up?

I'm reminding you

not to forget to accompany me

to see Mom and Dad this weekend.

I know.

Fine,

then get back to work.

Really,

every time I call you,

we can barely say two words.

Okay.

Why are you eating so little?

Is it not to your taste?

Um,

how about

I move out after all?

Otherwise, Miss Fang

Qianfan?

Qianfan!

Qianfan?

Qianfan!

Qianfan, do you need a family doctor?

Qianfan!

Qianfan,

what's wrong, Qianfan?

That has already been late for a few days.

It couldn't be

Qianfan,

say something, Qianfan.

Don't scare me, Qianfan.

Mr. Duan,

I'm fine.

It might be because the weather has cooled down lately,

my stomach feels a bit uneasy.

I'll go find some medicine.

Better not to scare myself just yet.

Wait until I test it tomorrow.

How could it happen just once

I'm really pregnant.

One more time.

It was that night.

I'm really pregnant

with Duan Jingyang's child.

How could this happen?

How can I

be pregnant with his child?

No,

I can't keep this child.

I can't let Duan Jingyang know either.

Miss Fang is innocent.

I can't let them

be hurt because of this.

Once I see Zhao Peng

get his deserved karma,

I will leave here immediately.

Leave Gangcheng.

President Duan,

why have you been ignoring me lately?

I missed you.

Qianfan.

Why do you look so pale?

Is your stomach still upset?

It's nothing.

I'm much better.

I have things to do, so I'm leaving.

I'm asking you,

has Duan Jingyang been here lately?

Mr. Duan?

What do you want with him?

None of your business.

Don't think that just because Duan Jingyang

is your ex-husband,

he still has something to do with you.

Look in the mirror.

What about you?

What's your relationship with him?

I might as well tell you.

In a while,

he's going to introduce me

to everyone in Gangcheng.

He's going to marry me.

Marry you?

Thank you, Mr. Duan.

Also

Shen Yao

must still be dreaming of

marrying into the Duan family.

If you meet her,

just go along with what she says.

Okay.

Then congratulations to you.

Of course you should congratulate me.

Didn't expect it, did you?

A man you couldn't

scored in three years

was bagged by me.

Then why

can't you find him?

That's because President Duan is busy.

He's a successful man.

I can't explain it clearly to

a working girl like you.

Speak up,

has he been here lately?

Like you said,

that's my ex-husband.

I have nothing to do with him anymore.

You

The matter of the child

can't be delayed any longer.

Otherwise,

sooner or later

Duan Jingyang will find out.

Your health isn't very good.

It seems you've been malnourished since childhood.

Although it's clear you've been taking better

care of yourself these past few years,

it's still not enough.

What does this have to do

with the abortion surgery?

The damage from an abortion surgery is very significant.

If you terminate the

pregnancy this time,

it might have

irreversible effects on your body.

It might be very difficult to get pregnant in the future.

Did the child's father not come?

Does he also support you having an abortion?

Thank you, doctor.

Mr. Duan.

Why aren't you at the shop?

Did something happen?

It's nothing.

I'm at the city hospital.

The hospital?

Wait for me there.

The baby isn't just my brother's.

Maybe the doctor is right.

The baby finally

chose us to be its parents.

After all,

Duan Jingyang has a right to know.

Why did you come to the hospital alone?

Is your stomach acting up again?

What did the doctor say?

Actually

Jingyang.

Ms. Fang.

Fang Lei.

At the homecoming banquet

you met her.

Hello, Ms. Fang.

I'm Shen Qianfan.

I know.

Jingyang's ex-wife.

Qianfan isn't feeling well today.

I'll take her home now.

No need.

I can get home myself.

Let's go.

Wait.

You're really leaving?

You owe me another meal.

Little brother.

Your path to win her back

looks like it's going to be long.

In Gangcheng,

so what if you're all-powerful?

You're still being rejected.

It's your favorite.

I don't really feel like coffee lately.

Is there any milk?

Thanks.

Today at the hospital

did you have something to tell me?

If

if I let Jingyang know

that I'm pregnant now

it wouldn't be fair to

him or Ms. Fang.

It's nothing...

Thanks for picking me up from the hospital.

By the way,

Mr. Duan,

about Zhao Peng

Getting all worked up?

Yeah.

He did so many

things to hurt me.

I want to see his downfall as soon as possible.

And then

leave you for good.

Shen Qianfan,

what more do I have to do

to make you stay?

Don't worry.

Soon.

I'll settle this at my birthday banquet

at the end of the month.

That's your birthday, though.

You shouldn't use it for something like this.

So,

can I ask you

for a birthday gift?

What gift?

I want you to be there in your best attire.

Standing in the most

dazzling spot

in all of Gangcheng.

Say a final goodbye

to your past self. I want you to find happiness

and start a new life.

From now on, your path

will be filled with flowers

and happiness.

Qianfan,

as for those who bullied you,

i won't let a single one of them go.

Thank you.

Thank you,

Mr. Duan.

Thank you for the past,

thank you for now,

and thank you forever.

President Duan.

Tell Zhao Peng

I'm throwing a grand

promotion party for him

at the Duan family clubat the end of the month.

To thank him for his dedication

to the company all these years.

Understood, President Duan.

Is it beautiful?

It's gorgeous.

This is how you should look.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Tonight is the night.

X.

President Duan,

Ms. Shen has already gone down.

She said you shouldn't worry.

She'll do exactly as you said.

You should go, too.

Yes, sir.

You've played the kitten long enough.

It's time to show your claws.

This is so grand.

And the Duan family club

is never open to the public.

Looks like President Duan

sees me as one of us.

Manager Zhao,

I heard you were promoted.

Our family

will need your help from now on.

Low key.

Indeed, Mr. Zhao.

President Duan thinks so highly of you.

We must stay in touch

from now on.

100%.

Zhao Peng.

Shen Qianfan?

How can you be here?

And dressed like that?

If you can be here,

why can't I?

Take a good look.

This

is President Duan's exclusive club.

Everyone here

is from Gangcheng's elite families.

An outcast like you,

a divorced hand-me-down

appearing here

is a bit inappropriate, don't you think?

Or

did you hear about my promotion

and

regret breaking off our engagement?

Did you come all the way here

just to butter me up?

Mr. Zhao,

you're quite the joker.

I know today

is a very important day for you.

I've prepared a special gift.

A special gift?

Look at you, all piss poor.

What kind of decent gift

could you possibly afford?

Three months ago,

you failed to force me into marriage

and caused my car accident.

You admitted it yourself.

Are you going to

deny it now?

What are you talking about?

What did I admit? I'll have you thrown out

right now, believe me?

Yo,

chill.

Just listen.

9.

Shen Yao.

I'm telling you,

Shen Qianfan's car accident

was all my doing.

It's her own fault for running.

If she hadn't run,

would she have been hit?

It serves her right.

It's a shame she didn't die.

That sounds like Manager Zhao's voice.

He

He committed attempted murder.

President Duan cares so much about employee conduct,

why would he promote someone like him?

That woman, Shen Yao

How is it?

This gift,

do you like it?

Haven't seen you in a while,

you've really become capable.

Don't believe her,

this recording is fake.

She's trying to extort me.

Shen Qianfan,

don't think a few lines of recording

can ruin me.

Look at the venue today,

you have no idea

how much President Duan values me.

I remember now,

President Duan went

to your coffee shop before

and said a few words for you.

So,

you didn't come here

to seduce him, did you?

Mr. Zhao, you're quite the joker.

My ex-husband

invited me today.

Your ex-husband

invited you?

What does he do?

In the kitchen,

washing dishes and sweeping floors.

What's wrong with washing dishes and sweeping?

I told you,

don't talk about him like that.

You hit me again?

Shen Qianfan,

I'm going to kill you today!

Zhao Peng!

You dare to hit

my ex-wife?

President Duan,

she

how could she possibly be your ex-wife?

The ex-husband Qianfan mentioned is me.

What,

do I need to pull out the divorce certificate

and show it to you?

No way.

President Duan,

Shen

how could Shen Qianfan

have been married to you?

I heard before that President Duan

kept his marriage a secret,

but I've never

seen Mrs. Duan.

So it was her.

They're divorced now,

otherwise, who would want to leave the Duan family?

To be honest,

three years ago,

the marriage between Qianfan and me

was my idea.

As for why we divorced,

that was my fault too.

My ex-wife

did nothing wrong.

President Duan,

I

I

really didn't know

Qianfan was married to you.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have dared to treat her like that.

You're already divorced,

why do you still care about her business?

Even after a divorce, she's still family.

If anyone bullies her,

I'll destroy them.

I don't want to see him again.

Okay.

Chen Ming.

Here.

By tomorrow morning,

I want Zhao Peng's scandal

to be out on every news headline.

Besides that,

send the word out.

No company in Gangcheng

is allowed to hire him ever again.

Yes, sir.

President Duan,

give me another chance!

President Duan,

President Duan, I'll never do it again!

Qianfan,

say something for me!

President Duan!

Satisfied?

Looking at your face,

it seems like something's missing.

Missing what?

Chen Ming.

Yes?

Starting now,

give Zhao Peng a beating.

The worse the injuries, the better.

Make them visible.

Yes,

President Duan.

Qianfan,

from now on,

from now on,

the nightmares

that used to haunt you have been crushed by my own hands.

Thank you.

Why aren't you resting yet?

Not feeling well?

It's just everything

feels like a dream.

Since Mom passed away,

I've been a kid without a home.

Until

those three years we were fake married,

then I felt

like I came alive again.

Then those things happened.

The moment I was hit by the car,

I thought

my life

was truly over.

It's all in the past now.

By the way,

you tricked the Shens

out of their company.

Didn't they give you any trouble?

I was just returning it to its rightful owner,

how is that trickery?

Actually, it's useless even if you give it to me.

My dad never

let me touch this stuff growing up.

He was so strict,

I have no idea how to run a business.

I'm afraid

if I don't manage it well,

Mom in heaven

will blame me.

You're the boss,

you can find people

who know how to manage it to help you.

Besides,

don't you still have me?

You've thought of everything.

What about Shen Yao?

I bet she's

still waiting to marry into the Duan family.

She has even less to worry about.

Given the Shen family's current situation,

Shen Yao is likely

to rekindle her

romance with Zhao Peng.

I see.

It's late,

you should go back and get some rest.

I'll finish the rest.

President Duan,

Ms. Fang Lei

called while you were in

a meeting today.

She said she's going abroad for a few days,

definitely to

look for that foreign boyfriend of hers.

My sister

hasn't stayed quiet for more than a few years since we were kids.

She's got guts,

daring to block my car.

Go down and take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Where's the President?

Where's President Duan?

Why won't he get out?

President Duan is busy,

just say what you have to say.

President Duan!

President Duan, get out of the car!

My dad knows

that I gave you the company,

so he's too afraid to come to you.

He beat me like this!

Come out and let's talk,

okay, President Duan?

Look,

President Duan isn't your grandfather.

Why come to him because your dad hit you?

But I became like this

because of President Duan!

And he said he'd marry me!

He just needs to

comes home with me now and clears things up,

everything will be solved!

You've misunderstood.

From start to finish,

President Duan has only ever loved Ms. Qianfan.

Besides her,

he won't marry any other woman.

How is that possible?

How?

They're divorced!

Mr. Duan,

when are you coming back?

Do you miss me?

No.

I made dinner,

I have some things I want to tell you.

Okay.

Chen Ming,

get in.

Qianfan is waiting for me to come home for dinner.

President Duan

Yes?

President Duan!

President Duan!

President Duan!

It turns out the life I dreamed of

is exactly like this.

You're back.

Dinner is ready.

She's willing to cook for me,

does that mean she won't leave again?

Why are you cooking all of a sudden?

The chef at home

doesn't cook very well.

We've known each other for so long,

and I feel like

I've never done anything for you.

I feel a bit guilty.

I know I'm not a good cook,

but I

followed some videos for these.

They shouldn't

taste too bad.

Try some.

It's good.

I'll finish it all.

You're not well.

Have some more soup.

Baby,

today our family of three

has finally had a reunion dinner.

From now on,

it's just the two of us.

Mr. Duan,

thank you for everything you've done for me.

But I think

it's time to end this.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

I haven't decided yet.

But

I want to leave Gangcheng.

Anyway,

I won't bother you anymore.

Do you never want to see me again?

Yeah.

We were always

two different worlds.

That engagement three years ago

was never what either of us wanted.

Right?

I'll pack up in a couple of days

and move out.

I'm going to my room.

Miss Shen.

Leaving so early today?

Aren't you waiting for President Duan to drop you off?

No need.

The shop is busy on weekends.

Oh, right.

The cleaning company

is coming for the routine house cleaning today.

I've tidied your bedroom

and the bathroom

along with the rest.

Thanks.

Sure.

Qianfan.

Qianfan?

President Duan.

Where's Qianfan?

Miss Shen already left for the coffee shop.

President Duan,

while I was cleaning earlier,

I found this in Miss Shen's room.

I found this.

She's pregnant.

It seems so.

The pregnancy test was

in the corner of the bathroom.

Miss Shen probably didn't notice it.

That day

at the Gangcheng Hotel,

Qianfan must be pregnant with my child.

She's really carrying my baby.

President Duan,

Congratulations to you and Miss Shen.

But why didn't she tell me?

Could it be because

you and Miss Shen are divorced,

and your relationship is unclear,

so

Divorced.

Right.

Then I'll propose to her.

This time,

I want her to

marry me properly.

Duan Jingyang,

you've played me so badly.

Anyone who deceives me...

deserve to die.

Just kidding

it was always me.

If you want something,

stand up to me alone.

I'm sorry, Qianfan.

In the future,

I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore.

If you're ever mistreated,

you must come to me.

We're already divorced.

You still want to interfere in my business?

So what if we're divorced?

You're Duan Jingyang's ex-wife.

You have to live well for the rest of your life.

When I'm not by your side,

learn to protect yourself.

Mr. Duan,

thank you for everything you've done for me.

But I think

it's time to end this.

Shen Qianfan,

what else do I have to do

to make you stay?

We should

stop seeing each other.

You don't want to see me anymore?

We were always

two different worlds.

I won't bother you anymore.

Where's Jingyang?

Say something!

Xin Changle said

President Duan knows about your pregnancy.

So he bought a diamond ring

and was going to the coffee shop to puts a ring on it.

Puts a ring on it?

Look,

Shen Yao has been arrested.

Don't worry,

she won't have a good time

for the rest of her life.

Right now,

I just hope Duan Jingyang

is safe.

In this life,

I owe him way too much.

Doctor?

Please rest assured.

President Duan is very lucky.

No vital organs were hit.

But the wound is deep.

It will take time to recover.

When the patient wakes up,

he must get plenty of rest.

Okay.

I'll go in and see him.

Is he okay?

Is he all right?

Jingyang,

I'm leaving.

My presence

will only bring you

more harm and burdens.

Even though I have a thousand things

I want to say to you,

what I want to say most

is thank you.

Since we won't meet again,

I wish you

peace for the rest of your life.

Happiness.

With Miss Fang,

may you have a long and happy life together.

Miss Fang?

Pick up the phone!

Qianfan,

you've misunderstood me.

You've misunderstood everything.

My dear brother,

slow down.

What if your wound opens up?

Sister,

I finally know

why she won't accept me.

I finally know

why she left.

She always thought

we were lovers.

OR

Chen Ming!

Quickly find flight and high-speed rail info.

Find out where Qianfan went!

Yes, sir.

Okay, okay.

Easy, Tiger.

No wonder every time she saw me,

she looked so apologetic.

It's all our parents' fault

for giving us different surnames.

Let's not talk about that now.

Chen Ming,

did you find anything?

President Duan,

for flights and high-speed rail,

there's no information on Miss Shen.

Nothing.

What?

Nothing?

Did she not leave

from either of those places?

You like flowers that much?

Yeah.

I do.

If I get the chance in the future,

I definitely want to go see Yuncheng.

I heard

it's like spring all year round there,

and there are flowers everywhere.

Yuncheng.

Qianfan must have gone to Yuncheng.

But Yuncheng is so big.

Where do I even look?

If I can't find her, I'll keep looking.

No matter how big Yuncheng is,

there will be a day we meet.

Qianfan.

Happy New Year.

Sister Xia.

Auntie Liang.

Happy New Year.

Enjoy your meal.

Thanks.

Happy New Year.

Liyi, be careful.

Walk slowly.

Exactly.

You're carrying a baby right now.

I'm fine.

I saw the doctor last week.

The doctor said

the baby and I are both healthy.

That's great.

Qianfan,

I brought you some food.

Why did you bring me food again?

People here who don't know

might think you're working for me.

Don't be polite with me.

Your coffee is so good

that business has really picked up.

Here.

Eat up.

It smells good.

There's chicken soup too.

Hurry and eat.

Recently,

news came from the Duan Group in Gangcheng.

Fang Lei, the daughter of the Duan family,

has tied the knot with her foreign boyfriend.

Her brother, Duan Jingyang, sent a grand gift.

Since birth, the siblings

have taken different surnames from their parents.

They've always had a close relationship.

It's reported that

Miss Fang

is actually Jingyang's biological sister.

Siblings?

Weren't they lovers?

What did you say?

What siblings?

Qianfan,

what's up with you?

This Jingyang mentioned in the news,

who is he to you?

Actually,

he's my ex-husband.

And he's also my baby's

Daddy.

What?

So the ex-husband

is a prominent person.

No wonder you refused

to tell us

who the baby's Daddy was.

I didn't expect him to be such a big shot.

So what if he's a big shot?

There are good and bad big shots.

I think this Yang guy

is just a big jerk.

Otherwise,

would he leave Qianfan all alone

while she's pregnant here?

Auntie Liang is right.

A man this irresponsible,

I'll hit him every time I see him.

Qianfan.

Qianfan.

Jingyang.

I've been looking for you for a long time.

I finally found you.

You're Qianfan's ex fiance?

That's me.

Sisters,

it's him!

Why are you still

protecting him?

Let us teach him a lesson for you.

You've misunderstood him.

I misunderstood him, too.

I misunderstood him, too.

Jingyang

is the best person in the world.

Before the divorce,

he made me feel

love and being loved like never before.

The reason I always called Jingyang

ex-husband

is because

his love is truly

so generous.

Even after we split up,

he kept worrying

that I wasn't doing well.

When I'm not by your side,

you must learn to protect yourself.

If anyone bullies you,

hit them back.

If they get hurt, it's on me.

I'll back you up.

He always wanted to give the best things

to me.

I want

you, on that day,

to be dressed up

and stand in the most

dazzling spot in all of Gangcheng.

I want every day of your future

to be filled with flowers

and happiness.

His kindness makes me feel like

in this world,

no one

can ever compare to him.

My ex-husband

repeatedly

saved me from the depths of misery

and pulled me out of

the cold swamp.

He helped me punish those

who bullied me,

just so that

the rest of my life

wouldn't be troubled by the past.

I'm down to give you anything

and do anything for you.

If you're mistreated,

you must come to me.

You're Duan Jingyang's ex-wife.

You must live well for the rest of your life.

Qianfan,

the nightmares that troubled you,

I'll drive them all away.

I told you,

the rest of your life

must be very good.

Thank you.

He's the world's

best ex-husband.

I was too stupid

and lost him.

Qianfan,

Fang Lei and I

I know.

I know everything.

I'm sorry.

I misunderstood you.

No need to say sorry.

I love you.

I've always loved you.

I'm just glad I found you.

I love you so much.

Even before we divorced,

I already loved you very much.

I just didn't know it myself.

They're already hugging.

Does this mean they're getting remarried?

Duh.

Qianfan said

this young man

is the best ex fiance in the world.

Then don't be an ex-husband anymore.

Get remarried right now.

Even though this place is simple,

we have plenty of flowers.

Sisters,

let's go.
