(Blossom Through the Cloud)

(Adapted from the novel on JJWXC, "Landing on My Heart", by Qiao Yao)

You scared the life out of me!

Look, if you're sleepy,

why don't you just go upstairs and get some sleep?

I wasn't sleeping.

I was meditating.

Meditating, my foot.

Where's Ming Yu?

Hasn't he been back at all lately?

He hasn't been home since he got back from Ma'ao.

Don't pretend you don't know.

Come on.

Didn't you and Mr. Zheng...

conspire to do this?

Conspire?

Wait, what did we conspire about?

Keep acting. Keep it up.

You...

The two of you...

had Ming Yu accompany...

Mr. Zheng's daughter to Ma'ao.

Wasn't that to try and set them up?

Did you think I wouldn't see through...

your little scheme?

Mr. Zheng had that intention,

and I couldn't just brush him off.

Right? The main thing is An An.

We watched her grow up.

We know her family well.

It's exactly because I know them well...

that I don't want any connection with that family.

I'm telling you,

it's the young people's business.

Let them decide for themselves.

Maybe this time in Ma'ao,

some sparks will fly between them.

I don't want to hear that.

I can't believe you would do that.

Ming Yu was clearly going there for work.

It was a business trip.

Yet, you had to go and trouble him.

You really don't know when to stay out of things.

You...

You just don't like An An's mother, do you?

She's the stepmother.

She's just a future in-law.

At most, we'll just see less of them.

Wouldn't that be fine?

In-law?

Surprise!

You look so handsome!

Ming Yu.

Tell me, isn't she exhausted?

Hurry up.

Smile for the camera. Come on.

The baby is 100 days old! This is fun.

Oh, my goodness.

What did I do to deserve this?

To become in-laws with Dong Xian?

If the heavens could arrange for the right woman...

to capture Ming Yu's heart,

I would even go vegetarian for a year!

(Episode 12: As Lousy As a QR Code)

She's really not home.

It's better that she's not.

If she were, the surprise would be ruined.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Is it ready? I'm starving.

It's ready. All done.

Come eat.

(Happy Birthday)

Nice skills.

You even carved the carrot.

But you made so much. I might not be able to finish it.

You have to finish it.

Or I'll deduct your year-end bonus.

What are you wiping off?

My lipstick.

I don't want to eat it with my meal.

No need to wipe it off. It looks good.

What's with you today?

Did you take a crash course in EQ?

Just eat.

Thank you.

There's cake too?

Looks like you were prepared.

"Dear 'Captain' Ruan,"

"if the road ahead is long,"

"I hope it's paved with flowers."

"If not, you don't have to be afraid,"

"because we will always be by your side."

"Be a proud princess."

"Love you forever."

Actually,

I ordered this cake for you...

on behalf of Hengshi.

The message on it represents the blessings and affection...

from all the employees...

at Hengshi.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Not bad!

- You're really amazing. - Of course.

"Captain" Ruan, I can see that...

you don't want your year-end bonus docked.

Who would want that?

(Dong Xian)

Hello?

No need.

I've finished eating. How did you know I live here?

It's still raining outside.

You should head back soon.

Okay.

Wait a moment.

Boss, do you have an umbrella?

Yes.

What do you need it for?

I want to go downstairs to get something.

It's pouring outside.

I'll go.

Thank you, boss.

Ms. Dong.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ming Yu?

Where's Ruan Ruan?

The rain is too heavy, so I didn't let her come down.

Ming Yu,

may I ask you something?

What is your current relationship with Ruan Ruan?

During work hours,

it's an employer-employee relationship.

After work,

we're friends.

Still just friends?

Ms. Dong,

what kind of relationship we end up having...

depends on how Si Xian defines it.

When I go upstairs later, I can ask her.

All right, then...

I'll leave it to you.

I'll be sure to pass on your wishes.

It's raining hard. Please get home safely.

Thank you, Ming Yu.

You're back.

Ms. Dong actually asked me a few days ago...

if you were scheduled for a shift today.

- Did you tell her? - No.

I have professional integrity, okay?

It's the same one you ordered.

"Don't mention..."

"Dad"?

She's my mom.

She just asked me...

what our relationship is.

And what did you say?

I told her...

that we're friends.

Yes, exactly.

We're friends.

Since we're friends,

come.

I have a birthday present for you.

You'll accept it, right?

What is it?

After you.

So many planes.

Do you like them?

I thought you were giving me a real airplane.

That's not impossible.

But there's a condition.

Are these all from your collection?

Yes.

Are you really giving them to me?

- Take your pick. - Then I won't be modest.

I'll pick...

The Z101.

I never said you could only pick one.

Really?

Anything you like in this room,

you can have it.

What if I like everything?

Does that include me?

Fu Ming Yu,

are you trying to take advantage of me?

You want to hit me again?

Or kick me this time?

Today,

you look really beautiful.

Well...

I'll head back now.

- Surprise! Happy birthday! - Surprise! Happy birthday!

You guys scared me to death!

Your cake.

I don't want it anymore. Keep it for yourself.

I've left it by the door.

Remember to take it inside.

Spill it.

We waited forever for you to come back.

Where have you been?

What were you doing with Fu Ming Yu?

Confess everything.

I...

Speak up.

What did you eat tonight?

- Longevity noodles. - Just longevity noodles?

He's a big-shot VP,

and he only ordered longevity noodles?

It wasn't takeout.

He cooked them for me.

What?

A big-shot VP like him...

personally cooked longevity noodles for you?

All right.

Can we stop focusing on the food?

Then you ask her.

I'll do it.

What exactly did you two do tonight?

He cooked noodles,

I ate them, picked a gift,

and then I came back.

- That's it? - That's all.

- Then why were you panicking? - Was I panicking?

You were panicking.

When you came in and closed the door,

you were breathing so heavily, and your face was all red.

I swear,

that's because I ran down the stairs.

I didn't take the elevator.

With your stamina,

would you pant after just one floor?

And he even ordered a cake for you.

One was from my mom.

The other was from him,

on behalf of the company.

I've been at Hengshi for seven years,

and I've never seen such special treatment.

You poor thing.

- Open it and see. - Open it and see.

It's smashed.

It has been through some rough times.

But it's still edible.

You didn't have a single bite?

I didn't have time to eat it before I came back.

Why did you come back so early?

Was it because he had some ulterior motives?

No, it's because...

I wanted to bring the model plane home quickly.

I was afraid he would change his mind.

I believe you, I really do.

"If it's a long road ahead..."

Aren't those my lines?

They really are.

She's got such a strong poker face.

We've been asking all night, but we got nothing out of her.

I don't think you need to ask.

There's definitely something between them.

But you can rest easy.

Your job is safe for sure.

Right?

Go park the car yourself.

I can't even tell whose car this is anymore.

I'm the one driving every day.

Drive safely!

Today is Ruan Ruan's birthday.

Xuan and I found out...

that there's something going on...

between her and our vice president.

We grilled her all night, but she didn't crack.

She's so tight-lipped.

You're pretty tight-lipped too.

You still haven't confessed your feelings.

How much longer do you plan...

to sleep here?

It must be my period.

It's the hormones.

Otherwise, why would I think about him?

Stop thinking about him.

Once my period starts,

I must lock my heart away.

Stop thinking about him.

No way.

Are these hormones that powerful?

Have you had breakfast?

Yes.

It's raining a bit today.

It might be hard to get a taxi.

Go change your clothes first.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

Mr. Fu,

today's flight might not...

be able to take off smoothly.

Should I notify them first?

Okay.

I'm going to the US today.

I'll be back in 10 days.

So?

I'm just letting you know.

Why bother telling me?

Get out. I'll park the car.

It's raining outside.

If you stop here, I'll have to walk in the rain.

If I go to that parking lot,

you'll have to walk even further.

Isn't this closer?

Then can't you drop me off at the entrance?

- Where? - The main entrance.

Only the executives can park their cars there, right?

If we stop the car there...

and other colleagues see us, what are we going to do?

Anyway, it's raining. I'm not going out there.

You make it sound so bad.

If I called a ride-hail car, wouldn't they stop at the door?

Am I a ride-hail driver?

If I drive over there, colleagues will recognize my car.

You're just afraid of being seen.

That's not what I'm thinking at all.

That's exactly what you mean.

If people see us and ask,

I'll say I ran into you in the rain,

and you just happened to give me a lift.

Besides, who would even ask me that?

Are you new to the workplace?

A lot of people are very nosy.

They'll definitely ask.

When that happens, I'll have to waste time explaining.

You don't want to explain,

so you would rather I walk in the rain.

There's an umbrella.

Yue Yang,

if any other colleague...

who had no relationship with you...

was in your car today,

they wouldn't be treated like this.

Let me tell you, there is no "any other colleague".

You're the only one who has ever sat in this seat.

You're the only woman who has sat here.

I don't even let men sit here.

- Really? - Really. It's true.

I'm telling you, when you're not around,

I keep a photo here...

and put a pile of snacks on this side.

I have to remind them that this seat is taken.

Her name is Jiang Zi Yue. Okay?

Then swear it.

Swear it.

Actually, in your current state,

I know what you're thinking.

You want people to know...

that we're in love, right?

I think this kind of happiness...

is enough as long as the two of us know it, right?

Why do we...

have to make it formal and show others?

What is there to prove?

Besides, you're so pretty and capable.

Your colleagues aren't even in your league.

If they get jealous of you,

I can't even imagine what would happen.

That's enough from you.

You're all talk.

Yes, I'm all talk.

You only do this when I'm angry.

All right, don't be angry anymore.

You'll be late.

Go on.

I'm really leaving. Go on.

Thank you.

What are you looking at? Checking for drunk driving?

Morning, Ms. Jiang.

I just saw it.

Ruan Si Xian got out of Mr. Fu's car.

- Really? - It's true.

Mr. Fu's car was parked right there.

Mr. Fu dropped her off personally.

Ms. Jiang, let me tell you.

I was giving her lessons before,

teaching her how to woo Mr. Fu.

This is so hilarious.

Thinking back, I really was a clown.

What time is your flight?

Don't be late.

Ms. Jiang, I'm running out of time.

I have to go now. See you later.

(Lu Ming)

Xiao... Xiao Zhen.

Ma'am, let me explain.

Lu Ming?

Yes, that's the one.

Ni Tong, we're leaving.

Bye. Be safe.

When will this rain stop?

The waitlist is so long. How long will it take?

Ni Tong.

- Ms. Ruan. - Have you secured a ride?

Not yet.

There are still more than 20 people ahead of me.

Where are you headed?

A friend of mine is coming to pick me up.

We'll give you a ride.

Ms. Ruan,

this friend of yours wouldn't happen to be Mr. Fu, would it?

Just wait for your ride-hail.

Can't I even ask?

Xiao Zhen, where are you?

I'm already in the parking lot.

(Si Xiao Zhen)

(WeChat)

(Fu Ming Yu)

I've landed.

How's the weather there?

(Fu Ming Yu, Recall Message)

I must be crazy.

Why did I message him?

Hello. The number you have dialed is powered off.

- Sorry, the number... - Why is her phone off?

Hello, Ruan Ruan.

Hello, Xuan.

I've landed,

but I can't reach Xiao Zhen.

What time did she leave the bar?

She left the bar quite a while ago.

She said she would go to Lu Ming's first,

and then pick you up at the airport.

Hasn't she arrived yet?

No.

Her phone is turned off.

I hope nothing happened to her.

I've been waiting here for ages.

Listen, don't panic.

I remember Lu Ming's address...

is in our group chat.

- I'll head over there now. - Okay, I'll head there too.

Let's meet there.

Ms. Ruan?

What... What are you doing?

Ms. Ruan, this is the taxi I hailed.

Where's your friend?

My friend might be in danger.

I'll pay for the whole fare.

Let's go. Get in.

Get in, quick!

Wait.

Driver, go to Ruifeng Garden Estate first.

Ms. Ruan, how could you do this?

I waited so long for this car.

Shut up.

I can't get a hold of Xiao Zhen.

Driver, please hurry.

Xiao Zhen!

It's the middle of the night. What are you doing sitting here?

Where's Lu Ming?

I've been waiting and waiting.

I don't know where he went.

He's not here.

Don't cry now.

Crying won't help.

- Xiao Zhen, where's Lu Ming? - It's okay.

Ruan Ruan.

There, there. It's okay.

- Don't cry. - I can't find Lu Ming.

Here. Drink it while it's hot.

Me too?

Weren't you in the rain too?

Thank you.

Ruan Ruan, don't give her any.

For the sake of a man,

she ditched you at the airport.

I really didn't see it coming.

This little thing puts romance before friendship.

I'm not a "little thing".

You're right, you're not.

You're a big jerk.

- How could you leave Ruan... - Xuan.

Ruan Ruan.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave you at the airport.

I just didn't know what to do.

I just wanted to ask him in person.

Why did he ignore me once he left for his trip?

He didn't reply to texts or pick up calls.

Why hasn't he contacted me for so long?

And my phone ran out of battery.

I just lost my mind for a moment.

I'm not someone who puts romance before friendship.

Okay.

I know you're not that kind of person.

Si Xiao Zhen,

is it worth it for a scumbag?

"Going on a trip" or "business trip"...

are just the precursors to ghosting you.

Once a man is away,

his heart starts to wander.

Then he can use the excuse...

that he's very busy.

He doesn't care about your feelings at all.

He... He's not like that!

- He always told me... - It's sweet talk.

Would he say anything mean to you?

Tong Le, come here.

Say a few phrases...

that you use to sweet-talk women.

Before I met you,

my life didn't really have a plan.

But now it does.

I have unilaterally...

included you in my future.

I'm not exactly a gentle person.

But for you,

I can do gentle things.

I didn't know how to mix drinks at all.

But to stay here,

I did my absolute best to learn how.

So whether you think I'm just driven by lust...

or completely infatuated, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, I just want to tell you...

that for you, I can change everything about myself.

- All right, that's enough. - I...

See? To coax a woman, men will lie through their teeth.

Everything I said is true.

Are you done yet?

Finished washing the glasses? Get back to work.

You got it.

Men will say just about anything...

to get what they want.

One second,

they're all over you.

The next, they give you the cold shoulder.

They don't hesitate for a second.

If you ask them...

why they don't value your history,

they'll say there is no history...

and that you just made it all up.

Fine.

Let's look at it another way.

Did you and Lu Ming...

ever make it official?

Did he ever confess to you?

Cutting off contact is how adults maintain a final bit of dignity.

You're so silly. You even went to his door.

You made such a mess of yourself.

You look...

really beautiful today.

I'm going to the US today.

I'll be back in 10 days.

What a scumbag.

He's as lousy as a QR code.

Back then, didn't Ruan Ruan and I tell you...

that he was unreliable?

Didn't we both tell you...

to play it cool?

But you didn't listen at all.

The tears you're shedding now...

are the result of your earlier blindness.

Let them flow. It's for the best.

Tell me, is it because...

I made him invest too much time?

And since I never made my stance clear,

has he lost his patience?

After everything I just said, you're actually blaming yourself?

Seducing and then dumping someone is a classic scumbag tactic.

He's already moved on to the next one,

yet you're still finding fault with yourself.

That's enough, Xiao Zhen.

No matter the reason,

you have to face reality.

Usually, there are three possibilities...

for this kind of sudden disappearance.

First,

he has found a new target.

Second,

his actual girlfriend found out.

And there's one more possibility.

He has been detained by the police.

So which one is he?

Whichever it is,

you have to act as if this person never existed.

All right, don't be sad anymore.

After this drink,

forget that scumbag.

When one relationship ends,

the next one will be better.

You're so kind.

Are you still cold?

Not anymore.

(United States)

What's with Charles?

He's just leaving us hanging here.

It's so rude of him. He's late.

We didn't reach out to him in the name of the company.

He knows my purpose for coming here.

It's normal for him to act high and mighty.

If I had known this would happen, we wouldn't have come here...

straight from the airport.

You haven't eaten anything all day.

We could've eaten before coming.

There's no need to wait for him like this.

Let's wait a bit longer.

If we hadn't come early,

we might have missed him.

But even if he shows up,

your jet lag is kicking in.

How can you hold up?

I was thinking...

of taking you to Chinatown.

There's a great hot pot place there.

The one with the little stools.

They have a mala hot pot.

Many local Chinese people go there to check it out.

- It's really delicious. - I don't eat spicy food.

How did these two get so drunk?

Tong Le,

what did you put in this ginger tea?

Red wine.

Red wine? Which bottle?

The one...

under your cabinet.

I saw it had been open for a while and wasn't finished yet.

I didn't want it to go to waste.

Oh no.

The Romanée-Conti.

Now it just tastes like ginger.

What a total waste of a fine wine.

Let's go.

- Careful. - Careful.

- Where's the light switch? - Light switch?

The light switch is on your left.

Close the door!

You forgot the suitcase.

Wait, change your shoes. Change them!

Man, change my shoes?

I can barely hold her up! Put her on the bed first.

Careful.

Oh, my gosh.

- Easy. - Give me a hand.

Careful.

All right. Wait outside.

I'll change her clothes first.

Then I'll... I'll go get some water.

Tong Le,

from now on, when those two come,

don't give them a single drop of alcohol.

Unless someone is with them.

You...

What did you say?

I said,

they need someone to accompany them if they're drinking.

Who do you want to accompany you?

How about me?

Is there no internet over there?

You won't even send me a text.

(Fu Ming Yu)

(Waiting for the other person to accept the invitation)

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

- Nice to meet you guys. - Nice to meet you too.

- Have a great trip home. - See you.

- See you. - See you.

- Bye, guys. - See you.

We have that meeting, right?

- In the afternoon. - Okay.

Hello?

Are you Fu Ming Yu?

- It's me. - So you didn't lose your phone.

And your phone isn't broken either.

You pretend to be busy as soon as you're on a trip.

And then you stop texting.

You're just a player who abandons people.

You got what you wanted and left.

Have you been drinking? No!

I'm perfectly sober right now.

I'm going to make a major decision.

I'm going to kick you out.

Kick you out of my head.

I won't think about you anymore.

Scumbag.

Do you think...

that just because you celebrated my birthday,

you've earned a title?

Not even close.

I'm going to lock my heart away.

I'll be invulnerable.

I'll listen to Xuan.

I won't believe men's lies.

I won't believe you.

Scumbag.

Mr. Fu.

The itinerary for this trip needs to be compressed further.

I need to head back early.

Are we not going to eat hot pot?

(Departing Ep. 12 for Ep. 13)
