Watch it!

Mom,

all the kids say

you're the coolest mom ever!

What makes me so cool?

You never ground me

or spank me,

even when my grades

are a disaster!

I wouldn't mind an A, y'know.

Do me a favor

and ace the next one, OK?

Next one is future me's problem!

And when is that?

Whenever pigs fly and stars turn pink!

Cheeky little brat!

I'm gonna get you!

C'mon,

first time on the top floor?

Come on.

Welcome to

Hengshi's VIP territory.

This is Mr. Fu's

main stomping ground.

Here,

take a look.

This is the lounge,

caffeine central,

basically.

These folks here

are all part of the CEO squad.

And here's the big boss' office.

Ignoring my texts?

Didn't check.

Why?

Got a meeting.

Sit tight and wait for me.

Here,

stay hydrated.

Mr. Fu,

room's ready.

Stay put.

Dinner's on me after.

Wait, excuse me?

He snaps his fingers and I just sit here?

"Dinner's on me after?"

What?

Can't I feed myself?

And hello...

are we even

on dinner terms?

This definitely isn't

about work...

Great, you're back.

Want a medal?

[This guy]

[is putting in work!]

[You would've been toast]

[without him, girl.]

[Yeah!]

[Total damsel-in-distress rescue!]

[There is definitely a spark!]

[Turns out Mr. Clueless]

[can actually be thoughtful.]

[Thank you, everyone!]

Unbelievable.

Barely off the plane from a getaway

with another girl,

and now he's sniffing around me?

Ms. Ruan, wait!

Where are you going?

Home.

Tell your big boss

to take himself on a solo date!

Where'd she go?

Where is she?

She said...

She had an urgent thing...

What kinda urgent thing?

Well... she said...

you can eat all by yourself...

Greetings, Captain Ruan!

VIP Gourmet at your service!

Hey...

What the...

Who called an entire restaurant

to my place?!

Er...

Greetings, Captain!

Lord...

Mr. Fu booked an exclusive private chef

experience just for you!

Alright people,

let's prep!

I...

Hey...

I mean...

What the hack?

Remember?

We had dinner plans.

So... gonna invite me inside?

Hon!

You in there?

Working hard?

Just...

editing some shots.

Time to spill the tea.

What tea?

Totally slammed here...

Fine,

won't bother you then.

So...

I'm out.

OK fine,

let's talk!

Spill!

How was the getaway?

Seven whole days!

A full week!

And the guy couldn't even

spare twenty minutes to eat with me!

Like, who is that busy?!

Bringing me along

was basically

just another chore

on his schedule!

Maybe work really piled up.

Your dad runs around

24/7 too,

you know how it is.

I was fuming...

But hey...

at least I can now say

with absolute certainty:

I am so NOT

into Fu Mingyu!

On a scale

of one to ten?

It's

a solid ZERO!

Put Dad's delusion

out of its misery already!

What's with that smirk?

Then explain why you

stalked him 24/7

when you were little.

I was

a clueless toddler!

You and Dad

brainwashed me

into thinking

he was

Prince Charming!

This trip totally

snapped me

out of it.

Good for you.

Living your

best life?

Picasso and Da Vinci!

Still in the zone?

Art can wait,

the old man cooked a feast!

Say no more!

Dinner is

my top priority!

And

Mom,

for the record:

I am thriving

and stress-free!

Seriously, what is she on?

Hey, a happy kid

is all I need.

Old man!

What'd you whip up?

World-class ribs!

Move your butt!

Let's eat!

Bon Appetit!

We'll take our leave, sir.

Appreciate it.

Anytime!

Your Highness.

Ridiculous.

You might

own the building,

but you don't

own me!

Not your vibe?

We can do

a restaurant next time.

Missing the point, genius!

Who said anything about next time?

You literally just landed

from a lover's getaway,

and now you're

trying your luck here?

WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?!

She's not my lover.

Pfft.

Her dad's

a business associate.

She had a shoot there.

Her flight

got canceled,

so she hitched a ride on my jet.

Please.

Who tipped you off

that I live for spicy food?

You eat ghost peppers

when you have stomach cramps.

Pretty easy math.

Try some.

You're just gonna stare?

After you.

Not bad.

Aww, big boss can't handle a little spice.

Hey, so...

Go ahead.

Spill it. What's the vibe with her?

If she hadn't

interrupted us,

what was your real question?

This was the question.

Nice try dodging it.

OK,

official record:

her dad does business

with us.

We have known

each other

forever.

Zero romantic chemistry.

What kinda girl is she?

Childhood

acquaintance,

then she

went overseas.

Past five years?

Met maybe

four times tops.

Barely traded twenty words.

Got zero idea

who she is today.

So,

we are not a thing!

Sure.

Whatever you say.

I'm so sorry, ma'am!

My bike literally died!

I ran ten blocks,

then your security

grilled me...

Please don't give me a one-star!

Hey, you're fine!

Really!

Here, take it.

Don't sweat it!

You're an angel!

Good luck!

Thanks!

Delivery?

Wish you gave me

that customer service.

Deliver my food next time,

then we'll talk.

Cry about it!

I stand with the working class.

Look,

these are amazing.

Slow down,

eat some real food.

I've got a board meeting.

Gotta run.

Hey, girl...

Rough day?

Just...

running on empty.

On shift these days?

Awesome.

Taste-test my new drink:

"Sunset Boulevard."

World premiere just for you.

And?

Tastes like candy!

Don't sleep on it.

It hits harder

than a Long Island.

Boy trouble?

Please...

Babe,

menu please!

Alright!

Get some fresh air outside.

Be right there.

You finished the whole thing?!

Are you alive?

I'm great!

Tastes like sweet tea.

Be honest with me.

Did your mom show up again?

Nah.

Alright.

Bottoms up!

[You hungry, baby?]

[Nope.]

[My tummy's growling!]

[Can't wait to see]

[what Daddy made!]

[Watch it! ]

[Look where you're going!]

[Bugs!]

[I'm scared!]

[Don't be.]

[Mommy's got you.]

Drinking again?

Bad vibes tonight...

What happened?

I am simply...

a bit blue...

Still holding a grudge?

Is that why you

ghosted my texts?

Just didn't feel like replying...

It's on me.

Gone for a whole week

and didn't

drop a single message.

Like I even cared, big jerk!

Hate me that much?

C'mon, I can't be that terrible.

Not always...

Sometimes you're...

actually kinda sweet...

HOWEVER!

Most of the time...

I wanna punt you

to a galaxy far, far away!

Still fuming

over You'an?

How about this:

no more hanging out

with her alone,

OK?

I'm mad at her on my own terms!

Why are you making it about you?!

You're practically drowning in jealousy.

Who else could it be about?

Wait... you seriously think

I'm jealous

over YOU?!

Were you born...

with a giant ego or what?!

Your ego

could block out the sun!

Carry me.

Block out the sun, huh?

Looking for someone?

Where's my girl Sixian?

Already gone.

Aren't you supposed to be

with Lu Ming?

He's...

doing bro stuff.

Good,

while she's missing,

let's plot

her birthday surprise!

Doesn't she hate birthdays?

That's

total BS.

Her mom crashes it

every year,

and she

pretends she doesn't care...

She's hurting,

plain and simple.

Hey,

let's kidnap her for a trip!

If her mom can't find her,

she can actually have a blast!

So...

Cake, flowers,

and glamping by the beach?

Lock it in!

OK.

So...

Cake is on me!

I got the bouquet!

What's my job?

You?

Out of my sight!

Thumbprint.

Easy.

Having that big of a breakdown?

I'm miserable, yeah.

None of your concern,

crystal clear?!

Don't...

flatter yourself...

If it's not about me,

why drink yourself under the table?

I drink

when

I want!

Are you my boyfriend?

My sugar daddy?

You wish!

I'm just... so damn

jealous of You'an...

Jealous of?

They share zero DNA,

and they're still a happy family...

What are you talking about?

I'm her flesh and blood...

and she dumped me like trash.

Who dumped you?

Mom...

My own mommy didn't want me...

Wait... why are you in my apartment?!

You're completely hammered.

I brought you up.

You unlocked the door yourself.

And you just...

invited yourself in?

Banks are unlocked during the day,

why don't you go commit armed robbery?!

Hey,

can we have one sensible conversation?

Get out right now!

What if I stay?

Then I'll...

throw you

off the balcony

to save you the elevator!

Hey, girl!

[Hi,]

[it's Fu Mingyu.]

Oh!

Evening, Mr. Fu! Is Sixian around?

She had a bit too much.

I just brought her home.

Awesome,

glad she's in one piece.

Appreciate it!

Tell me...

that isn't Mr. Big!

It's totally him!

So are they...

She's drunk and defenseless...

And they're...

Behind

closed doors at her crib!

Stop it!

For real?!

Sparks are flying,

babe!

I am dying to ring her back!

Do NOT

ruin the vibe!

Sixian's dry spell is officially...

OVER!

Lemme go...

Bedtime.

Sofas aren't for sleeping.

I'm her blood...

Why did she leave me...

It's 11PM.

Home?

Dig up everything

you can on Mrs. Zheng.

Right away.

Mom.

My handsome son!

Honey,

Mommy is about to explode!

What's wrong?

The absolute

audacity!

The whole town

knew

I wanted

that Master Yue painting!

I walked in

with cold hard cash,

and the piece

was magically gone!

Wanna know who stole it?

Who?

Dong Xian snuck in before the auction

and bought it off-market!

Backstabber!

Mom,

just find another piece.

Easy for you...

Making a call.

Zero sympathy for

your own mother!

Raising a son is completely useless!

I should've just gotten a golden retriever!

[Sir.]

Skip the preamble.

So,

[Mr. Zheng is on his]

[second marriage.]

[This is common knowledge.]

[His first wife]

[died of an illness]

[right after giving birth to You'an.]

[His current wife]

[was also]

[widowed...]

Get to the punchline.

The punchline is...

[Mrs. Zheng had a kid from that marriage.]

[It's Ruan Sixian.]

Got it...

[I'm really glad you showed up.]

[Spill it. What's the vibe with her?]

[If she hadn't]

[interrupted us,]

[what was your real question?]

[This was the question.]

[Nice try dodging it.]

[I'm her flesh and blood...]

[and she dumped me like trash.]

Look who had his head up his own a**...

[Easy...]

Who is it?

Breakfast delivery!

[Thanks for breakfast,]

[appreciate it.]

[Rise and shine, drunkie!]

[DoorDashed]

[you hangover food.]

[Enjoy!]

GOD, IT WASN'T HIM?!

[Not from me.]

[Don't flatter yourself.]

[Sent to the wrong contact, clearly.]

[Sorry not sorry!]

[Woke up to breakfast from the bestie!]

[ILYSM!]

[Forever soulmates!]

Jerk...

[Caught you lurking!]

[Face it,]

[you're down bad for me!]

Hey,

get me

a birthday cake for tomorrow.

Sure.

Consider it done.

High-end only.

Absolutely.

[Good morning!]

[You're tuned to FM 93.7.]

[Here's your]

[local]

[weather forecast.]

[Expect]

[heavy rainstorms today,]

[Highs of 28 Celsius,]

[lows of 15.]

[Grab your raincoats, folks!]

It is literally 30 degrees

with

zero clouds!

Do these meteorologists

just guess?!

Hold up,

did the system glitch?

What happened?

Three orders for the exact same cake!

Different customers,

though.

Look, different

messages.

Wait...

did

this guy submit a whole novel?

Look at the recipients,

it's the same lucky chick.

"Ruan Sixian," "Captain Ruan,"

"Sweet Sixian..."

Need to double check.

[Yellow?]

Greetings!

Big Cousin

Bakery!

You ordered

our toddler

plane cake,

correct?

Yup!

[This is designed for five-year-olds.]

[You sure about this?]

Positive!

Just make the fondant plane

adorable!

Appreciate it!

Double checking:

strictly peach-free?

Zero peaches!

Zero!

She will literally swell up!

Any other fruit is totally cool!

OK, so the icing says:

"Happy Birthday, Ruan Sixian?"

Right?

Actually...

make it "Captain," see?

"Happy Birthday, Captain Mommy?"

Little spicy,

but OK!

WHOA, NO! Keep it PG!

[No "Mommy!" Just "Captain Ruan!"]

[Actually...]

[full name feels]

[so corporate.]

[but "captain"]

[has zero romance...]

What about just "Sixian?"

[Sweet, casual, respectful.]

"Sixian!"

Brilliant!

Sweet, intimate, with a whole lot of love

baked in!

See you at pick-up!

DONE! Lord give me strength!

Settled on Sixian?

Yepper.

Enjoy, kiddo!

Hey there!

Hey,

got a pick-up.

Last four digits,

please?

4933.

Custom message:

"Happy Birthday, Sixian."

With "Keep it PG!"

Ha?

Nah...

Just "Happy Birthday, Sixian!"

Buddy,

you yelled it

in my ear:

"Happy Birthday, Sixian!"

"Keep it PG!"

Hey!

Are you insane?!

Why would I suggest mature content?!

Don't question the artist!

All three cakes

go to the same chick.

And...

Personally

checked each one.

Here's

your masterpiece!

This monstrosity?

"Happy Birthday, Sixian!

Keep it PG!"

DONE AND DONE.

How long to fix it?

30 minutes.

What a psycho!

Hey, weatherman was right

about the rain!

Shut up, dumbass!

Whatever...

it's all ending up in the same stomach.

Hey,

get an opaque box

and hide that cursed cake

right now!

Before someone sues us!

Move your a**!

The whole street is packed!

Just

double-park here.

We'll grab the cake and bolt.

Cool.

Let's go.

It blocked us in?!

Are they for real?!

Move, move!

NOOOOO!

Someone kill me now!

It's fine!

Nobody panic!

Where the hell are my keys?!

Er...

Seriously?!

Yikes...

Help me reach!

My fingers are too short!

Think, think!

Hey,

that twig!

Poke it through!

OK,

going in!

C'mon, babe.

Left, left!

OK.

Holy cr*p...

Babe...

look up...

WE'RE GETTING TOWED!

Look at this absolute stunner.

Who's taking you out?

Jesus!

Give a warning!

Meeting a buddy!

Guy or gal?

Not your concern!

Just looking out for my staff.

A very hot guy.

Making it back tonight?

Not a chance.

Let me chauffeur you.

Really wanna test me?

Dying to see

which lucky guy

earned a dinner date

with Your Highness tonight.

Go get the car!

[Hey, sweetie,]

[just grabbed a ride,]

[en route now!]

Wait,

you left already?

Look...

we're in

a bit of a crisis.

[Can you just]

[hang out there solo?]

[Things are... slightly]

[on fire here...]

Did you just stand me up?

In so many words... yes.

We're in

parking ticket hell.

I'm the worst...

Don't sweat it.

I hate birthdays

anyway.

Go fix your mess.

I'll wander around.

You're the best!

Now what?

Is this cake completely ruined?!

[Route ended.]

[Thank you.]

What?

Taking you to my place.

Slippers, Madame.

Honestly, it's a tragedy.

You looking this gorgeous,

and nobody gets to stare

but me.

We're not ordering food?

Homemade tonight.

Name your craving.

A full-blown Michelin star dinner?

Big cravings, huh?

Bigger attitude!

Birthday

noodles?

How on earth did you know

it's my birthday?

I'm thorough with background checks.

Does

every employee

get this royal treatment?

Nice try playing dumb.

If I whipped up

noodles

for everyone,

my title would be Head Chef,

not Head of the Company!
