Original subtitles

It's been so long, yet I still miss you.

Subtitles by DramaFever

On behalf of The Peak Department Store, I propose a temporary motion

to replace the current General Manager.

Mr. William Shen's position will be temporarily taken over by Li Bo Yan.

- Director! - I won't be a priest anymore.

If I have to sacrifice you to achieve my spiritual ideals, I'd rather give it up.

Let's break up.

Tell me, who are you doing this for?

- Chen Yu Xi! - Because my sister's heart will ache.

Ya Ti has my sister's heart. Ya Ti also knows my sister's love for you.

Someone once said, the light shining in the darkness is the warmest and brightest.

To me, Yu Xi is that light.

Then please protect this light well.

As long as you're happy, Luo Han can rest in peace.

I just want to protect her.

But I ended up hurting her.

Yu Xi, dinner's...

Chen Yu An.

Is it true?

What?

Are you really going to stop being a priest?

Yeah, it's true.

That's great.

Fei Fei.

- Can you let go of me? - Why?

Fei Fei.

- What? - Well...

Morning, Auntie, Yu Xi.

Morning.

I got a little too excited

so... you know.

I understand.

So have you had lunch yet?

- Not yet. - Then have lunch with us.

Okay.

- Fei Fei, you can have this. - Thank you.

Let's start eating.

Auntie, you must be so happy to have Yu An back, right?

I am.

This way, we can have dinner together every day.

- Here you go. - Thanks, Mom.

You should eat more.

You're going to become the man of the house.

It's great to be able to eat together as a family.

Here you go, son.

Yu Xi, don't you need to go to work today?

I've resigned.

Why?

But I thought you really liked your job.

Yu Xi.

Did something happen between you and Mr. Fang?

We broke up.

Why?

I thought you both really got along.

How did that happen?

What actually went wrong?

What's done is done.

Actually, come to think of it

we're not really that compatible.

So if we insist on being together

it'll only make our lives more difficult.

Yu Xi.

Is that how you really feel?

It's better to break up now.

At least we can still be friends.

But I don't think Mr. Fang would have agreed to break up.

Yu Xi.

Have you really made up your mind about it?

I have.

I have to go and wash your plate.

How's everything going with the supplier contracts?

I've already sent them out so we're waiting for their confirmation.

- Good. - Hello, GM.

Have you notified the stores with which we're not renewing contracts?

Yes, GM.

Good.

Crystal Department Store will be taking on

a totally different management approach from now on.

So in regards to stores that are currently

providing middle price range products

our supply department has already notified

them that their contracts won't be renewed.

In that case

what are you going to do with those store spaces?

I'm going to reorganize our prime stores on the first two floors.

I'll invite international brand names

and attract the high-end market.

This way

we'll be able to increase our profit over a shorter period of time.

Don't worry.

I've already spoken to a few international brand names

and they're very interested in working with us.

We're already in the final stages of confirmation.

So once that's done, it won't affect our store's operation at all.

So you want to turn Crystal Department Store into The Peak?

Why not?

As you all know, high-end brand names will always yield the highest profit.

For example, not only do real diamonds and synthetic diamonds differ in pricing

but there is a tremendous gap between the profits that they yield.

Absolutely.

Just as you said

high-end products obviously yield very impressive profits.

But do you realize where Crystal Department Store is located?

Of course.

Then what about its surrounding area, population structure

residential to business ratio, consumer segments

as well as spending preferences and power?

Obviously, I only came up to such a decision

after having carefully analyzed all those factors.

Within close proximity to Crystal Department Store is a deluxe residential area.

So the majority of its consumers would prefer to have a quality life

and have relatively high income.

That's why I decided to offer high-end brand names

in order to satisfy their needs.

This will in turn attract them to come to Crystal Department Store.

I think it's a great idea.

But have you noticed

that over the past two years

such a high-end segment has already begun to move out of the area?

I know, but not in huge numbers.

In fact, it's so insignificant to the overall population

that it won't be affecting the current spending pattern.

Generally speaking

high-end products can still yield the highest profit

over the shortest period of time.

I agree with you.

Let me ask you one final question.

What about three years later?

What do you mean?

Two affordable housing complexes will be built near Crystal Department Store

three years later.

At that time, it'll affect both the population structure

and the spending pattern.

Did you also take that into consideration?

I'm not trying to criticize you.

I know it's important to attract more consumer spending.

But it's even more important to strengthen customer loyalty.

But that's three years later.

All we have to do is change our stores again two years later.

We shouldn't sacrifice such high earnings just because of that.

Two years.

Do you realize how much time it takes

to form our customers' spending habits, establish loyalty

and test out the brand power of new product brands?

One year?

A company should take on a long term vision instead of short term profits.

Although the individual spending power of the high-end market is very strong

the middle-class segment's annual spending

is actually the biggest support in the department store industry.

GM, don't forget.

People can relate better to crystals rather than diamonds.

At first, I agreed with GM's suggestion.

But after listening to Zhan Cheng's analysis...

as a director, it's understandable for me to have missed such a point.

But how could you have ignored such an issue?

Vanessa, are you sure you've appointed the right GM?

Yes, Director Chen's right.

I know how eager you are to prove your ability.

But I think you're really

rushing into things.

I don't think it'll be that easy to ask our suppliers to come back

after you kick them out like this.

GM, you should really reconsider it.

- Wait here, I'll get the car. - Okay.

Vanessa.

You can wait for me at the elevator.

So you think you're tough, do you?

Sorry, I didn't see you standing there.

I hope I didn't scare you.

You did.

The management approach you suggested was really scary.

- Fang Zhan Cheng. - Bo Yan!

Zhan Cheng.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Why did you do that?

I understand men can be very competitive when it comes to work.

But why did you have to do that?

Did you realize what you were doing?

- I was trying to scare him. - Scare him?

If you had really run him over

you could have been charged with assault.

What would you do then?

So you're worried about me?

I'm tired.

Auntie Juan, I really don't feel like eating.

I don't have an appetite.

But you've barely eaten at all.

You must eat something.

Just eat a little, okay?

I really can't.

Please come in.

Mama Chen.

So do you feel better now?

- Much better. - Who's this?

Auntie Juan, she's Yu Xi's mom.

Mama Chen, she's Auntie Juan.

Yu Xi's mentioned her to me before.

Thank you for looking after her when she's at your motel.

It's fate that brought us together, you're welcome.

Mama Chen, why did you come to see me today?

Mama Chen.

It's okay, you can say whatever you want to say.

Ya Ti.

I know this might sound a little selfish

but I really can't let it drag on like this.

What do you mean?

Did you know that Yu Xi broke up with Zhan Cheng?

I know.

Yu Xi told me this morning.

She said it's because they're not suitable for each other.

But I don't think it's true.

Of course it's not.

She thinks that

you only fainted

because you found out about her relationship with Zhan Cheng.

Why would she think that?

Actually, both Zhan Cheng and her already know

that you're the recipient of Luo Han's heart.

So...

Yu Xi already knew about it?

That's also why

she's worried that you'd get upset.

That's why she decided to break up with Zhan Cheng.

Don't worry.

Everything that upsets you

will go away.

She's so silly.

She's also very stubborn.

That's her character.

Once she's made up her mind

she won't listen to anyone's advice.

She'll just keep all the pain and suffering to herself.

We know how painful it must be for Yu Xi.

But it's not any easier for Ya Ti.

- Auntie Juan. - Let me finish first.

Right now

she's already having enough struggles waiting for a new heart.

We don't even know if she'll be able to wait until that happens.

Are you trying to make her more upset and give her more pressure?

But that's unfair for Yu Xi as well.

She's only doing it for the sake of Ya Ti.

She doesn't want Ya Ti to get upset over her being with Zhan Cheng.

Yu Xi cares about Ya Ti even more than she does for herself.

But Ya Ti cares about her just as much.

Is she saying that Ya Ti forced Mr. Fang to break up with her?

- Auntie Juan. - No, that's not what she means.

- But that's what it sounded like... - Auntie Juan, listen.

Don't think like that.

I'm sure Yu Xi only made this decision

because she thinks it's best for me.

That's right.

Yu Xi really thinks it's best for Ya Ti.

She really only did it for Ya Ti.

That's the kind of person she is.

She can be quite an idiot.

She always comes up with such silly ideas

to protect the people that are important to her.

I didn't mean to blame Yu Xi.

I really like that child

because I know how kind she is.

But how can the characters of these two be so alike?

Auntie Juan, I'm sorry.

Auntie's Juan's a very straightforward person.

It's okay, I don't blame her.

Actually, after I found out about your relationship with Yu Xi

I've always wanted to come and see you.

I didn't really mean to say those things

to make you upset.

You're just like a daughter to me.

I really hope you can get better soon

so that you can be Yu Xi's best friend for life.

Mama Chen, don't worry.

I'll definitely talk to Yu Xi and try to convince her.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

At today's meeting

when those directors suggested to replace the GM...

what did you think?

When I appointed you as the deputy GM

I gave you three months.

So you still have time.

But, Bo Yan

there's something that I want to ask you.

Between you and Zhan Cheng

apart from being competitive in your careers

is there any other reason?

Ever since you were my assistant

you've been picking on him the whole time.

So there must be a reason, right?

You're right.

I admit there is a personal issue.

Because of him

my girlfriend broke up with me.

What's that got to do with him?

Because my girlfriend

is now Fang Zhan Cheng's girlfriend.

You mean

Chen Yu Xi?

Vanessa.

This baby was an accident.

It wasn't really part of our plan.

It'll become a huge burden for you.

You don't really have to take on this responsibility at all.

So you still love her?

That's why you said

this baby was just an accident

and that it shouldn't exist.

That's right.

I'm still in love with Yu Xi.

As for you...

you also still have feelings for Fang Zhan Cheng.

So we'll never be good parents.

Actually, we're very similar to each other.

We're both trying to get the person that we love.

That used to be the case.

But now...

all I can think about is my baby.

Bo Yan.

Love can't be forced.

All right, it's getting late.

You better go home now.

Goodnight.

Excuse me.

Is Yu Xi home?

Who are you?

You must be Yu An.

I've heard about you.

- Fei Fei said you're really nice to her. - You must be Zhan Cheng.

Are you here for my sister?

Is she here?

- I'll get her for you. - Thank you.

Yu Xi.

I want to talk to you.

But I've already made myself very clear.

Yes, you have.

That's why I know how upset you are

and can understand your decision.

But

do you actually know how I feel inside?

As you know

I was once deeply in love with Luo Han

and she was my everything.

Til this day

I want her heart to live on more than anyone else does.

My concern is no less than yours

when it comes to this issue.

But if you're naive enough to think...

that Ya Ti will get better simply because of our breakup...

don't you think

that's a bit too silly?

We promised each other

that we must face all problems together

and support one another.

But why must you burden yourself by taking full responsibility for it?

Why must you cope with all the pain and suffering yourself?

Trust me.

I'll definitely do my best to help Ya Ti live on

and keep Luo Han's heart beating.

I know what you're worried about.

But I won't let it happen.

I won't break up with you.

My feelings for you will never change.

Even if you push me far away

it won't change a thing.

It's very unlikely that I'll become a pond.

That's because

I'm a very stubborn stone.

Where are you going?

Ya Ti said she's leaving the hospital for a few days

and she wants me to go to the motel with her.

Really?

- Why is she going back to the motel? - I don't know.

I'm a bit worried so I better go now.

Okay, make sure you look after her.

You must pay extra attention.

Okay, don't worry, I'm going.

- Be careful. - Okay, bye.

Ya Ti.

Thank you.

Auntie.

Fei Fei, you're here.

Just in time to learn how to cook.

What's wrong?

Why do you look so upset?

Auntie.

I probably can't come here for your cooking lessons anymore.

Why?

What happened?

I applied for a fashion design course before.

I received their notification letter this morning.

I see.

So you'll have to go overseas?

Come on, ask me to stay.

If only you'd say it, I'd definitely stay.

So...

when are you leaving?

In a few days.

I see.

Auntie, I'm really sorry.

I really wanted to learn how to cook.

That's okay.

It's not as if you're not going to come back.

I can teach you after you come back.

Well...

why don't you come over for dinner before you leave?

I'll cook your favorite dishes as your farewell dinner.

Thank you, Auntie.

Let's learn one more dish today.

Yu Xi, here you are.

Ya Ti.

Why didn't you just stay in the hospital?

Stop nagging me.

I know you're worried about me

but the hospital's so boring.

That's why I asked them to let me come back for a few days.

At least you're here with me, right?

All right, let's go inside.

Come on.

Yu Xi?

I've actually asked you to come

to help me with something.

Help you with what?

Auntie Juan said a lot of people are asking about my handmade cookies.

So I want to take this chance to make those cookies.

But since it's quite a big order

I'd like to ask you guys to give me a hand.

That's not a problem.

But are you sure you're up for it?

I'm okay.

Don't worry.

- Is that okay, Mr. Fang? - Sure.

Let's get started.

Ya Ti, make sure you take a rest if you feel tired.

- You can just tell us what to do. - Yeah, Yu Xi's right.

Don't push yourself too hard.

It's okay, I won't.

Yu Xi, the butter's ready.

You can add the sugar now.

Can you please turn this way?

- That's enough. - Thanks.

Can you pass me that?

Not this.

That one.

Can you please pass me the mold?

Are you okay? I'm sorry.

I'm fine.

Sorry.

Yu Xi.

Look at your face... no.

It's really sweet.

No.

William, hurry up.

Okay.

Chen Yu Xi, you're so mean.

You never told me you were coming here.

If I hadn't called you, I wouldn't have found out.

- I'm sorry. - That's okay.

I should thank you for giving me an excuse to come here with William.

Wang Xiao Lin.

Hello, Auntie Juan, Ya Ti, I'm Wang Xiao Lin.

Still remember me?

She looks familiar.

It's Miss Wang, remember her?

She burnt down two sky lanterns before it finally flew up into the sky.

- That Miss Wang. - Please don't mention that again.

Welcome, I didn't know you were Yu Xi's friend.

I was the one who introduced her to your motel.

Sorry for crashing your party today.

You're welcome to come as often as you like.

- Really? - Of course.

- Help yourself to some drinks. - Okay.

You're certainly not shy.

Chen Yu Xi.

So are you guys back together yet?

No.

She's certainly very stubborn.

But she's also the kindest girl I've ever seen.

She's just very spoiled.

- Here. - Okay, I'll bring it to them.

Here comes the food.

Lunch is served.

It's cooked with Zhan Cheng's love.

Mr. Fang, come and eat.

- I can cook. - Okay.

- Bring over your food. - Let's play a game.

What game?

I never lose in any game.

- Really? - Of course.

- Come on. - Okay, ready?

Rock, paper, scissors.

- One more time. - You lose!

Yu Xi, come and help me.

Don't just sit there and smile.

Fate is such an amazing thing.

Through my Edelweiss cookie, I met you and Yu Xi.

Then we became good friends.

That's right.

I never thought

I'd be so interested in baking.

Before my operation, I wasn't interested in baking at all.

I really didn't expect that this heart

would affect me so deeply

that it would affect my interests...

and even...

make me fall in love with you.

That it would affect my interests...

and even...

make me fall in love with you.

- Ya Ti... - I like you.

I really like you.

Ya Ti.

I'm sorry.

I can't respond to your feelings for me.

- Why not? - You should know why.

It's Yu Xi that I love.

I'm very serious about her.

- But you should know that my heart... - It's Luo Han's heart.

Do you not love Luo Han anymore?

I do.

After Luo Han's death

I kept myself locked up in darkness.

Because of that, my family got very worried about me.

But then Yu Xi came along

and led me out of darkness.

She let me hear happiness

and helped me accept the fact that Luo Han was really gone.

Ya Ti, like I told you before

this doesn't conflict with my love for Yu Xi.

Why are you asking me this again?

Yu Xi.

You can come out now.

Did you hear that?

Mr. Fang won't change his feelings for you

just because you wanted to give up your relationship.

I already know

that you broke up with Mr. Fang because of me.

But, Yu Xi

you shouldn't have done that.

Mr. Fang...

will never accept my love

because of you backing down.

I also won't get his love

because you decided to give him to me.

If you do that

you'll only make me feel even more guilty and upset.

Ya Ti.

I don't want you to be upset.

I just want you to live happily.

Yu Xi, compared to my own happiness

it's even more important for you to be happy.

It's how I truly feel.

- No. - Yu Xi.

I know you care a lot about Ya Ti

and so do I.

But this is not the right way.

You can't decide on all of our relationships yourself.

When we said we'd look after Ya Ti together

but that's just friendship.

You shouldn't confuse my feelings for you with our friendship.

That's right, Yu Xi.

If you do that, I'd blame myself for breaking you guys up

and taking away your happiness.

It's not your fault.

- It was my decision... - Yu Xi, I know that.

I know you want the best for me.

But if you do that

you're only going to hurt all of us.

You know what?

Your joy and happiness

will give me courage to live on.

Remember that.

Whenever you're upset

I'll also be upset with you.

But when you're happy

I'll also be happy as well.

I made this sunflower cookie especially for you.

Yu Xi.

Do you know what sunflowers stand for?

Sunflowers symbolize

the courage to pursue happiness.

So make sure you don't miss out on the happiness that belongs to you.

For my sake...

and for the sake of the person that you love...

think about it, okay?

Whenever you need me

knock on the wall twice.

As soon as I hear you, this is what I'll do.

Yes, Boss.

I'll run into your room.

Boss, what can I do for you?

I love you.

Yu Xi.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, thank you.

Goodnight.

I'm fine, thank you.

Goodnight.

Let me stay with you, okay?

It's okay, I...

Just let me stay here with you.

How long are you going to keep the electricity off?

- The whole night, of course. - Whole night?

But I'm scared of the dark.

How am I supposed to go to sleep?

- I better go to Yu Xi's room. - You can't.

Why would you want to interrupt them now?

But I'm really scared of the dark.

Then why don't you just stay the night in this room?

Really?

- Are you sure? - Yeah, just stay here.

Trust me.

I'll definitely do my best to help Ya Ti live on

and keep Luo Han's heart beating.

I know what you're worried about.

I won't let it happen.

I won't break up with you.

My feelings for you will never change.

Even if you push me far away

it still won't change a thing.

Give me your hand.

Since I can't find any fairy floss

I hope this can also cheer you up.

Yu Xi.

Do you know what sunflowers stand for?

Sunflowers symbolize

the courage to pursue happiness.

So make sure you don't miss out on the happiness that belongs to you.

For my sake...

and for the sake of the people that you love.

Fei Fei, it's your favorite... chicken drumstick.

You can have as many as you want.

Thanks, Auntie.

I'll definitely finish them.

This way, I won't miss your cooking while I'm overseas.

Fei Fei.

So how long will it take you to finish your masters degree?

Probably two years.

Does that mean you'll come back after two years?

I'm not sure, it might be longer.

If I find a job there after I graduate

then I probably won't come back at all.

You have to come back.

Otherwise I'll miss you to death.

Then I'll come back to visit you whenever I have time, okay?

Okay, don't you forget your promise.

I promise.

All right, after you go overseas

make sure you look after yourself.

I will.

Bye, Auntie.

I already miss you.

Chen Yu An.

I have to go now.

Well...

look after yourself.

I will.

You, too.

- Bye. - Bye.

Yu An.

You once asked me

if there's anything that I'd like you to do, right?

Actually, there is.

I really like Fei Fei.

If I can have her as my daughter-in-law

I'd be really happy.

It's just a thought.

There's no pressure.

I'll respect your decision.

Ya Ti.

Have... have you seen...

Zhan Cheng?

Mr. Fang?

He said he had to go back to the office.

He left?

- When did he leave? - Just now.

Fang Zhan Cheng...

Why didn't you wait for me?

Why did you leave by yourself?

You said you'd stay with me

and wouldn't leave me alone.

So why did you just leave without saying a word?

I know what I did was wrong.

I shouldn't have tried to solve the problem by breaking up with you.

It's my fault for neglecting your feelings.

I'm sorry...

Now that you're gone

how am I supposed to apologize to you?

Don't leave me here.

Don't leave me, Fang Zhan Cheng!

Why would I ever leave you?

Subtitles by DramaFever

I...

Can you please stay?

Sure, I'll stay.

I hope Ya Ti will get better real soon.

I hope Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi will live happily ever after.

Another great show put on by the department store genius.

Looks like it's going to be a fierce competition.

Also, Li Bo Yan will never have enough time

to copy our idea.
