"Can't Bear to Forget You" by Ariel Tsai

♫ When romance is too insignificant ♫

♫ But I can't stop missing you, like a bad cold ♫

♫ Drifting in a deserted island, where feelings have no reception ♫

♫ Have you been well? ♫

♫ Don't worry, I'll be fine ♫

♫ Don't worry, I can't fall asleep ♫

♫ Don't worry, I can't get used to this lonely world ♫

♫ Hitting the pause button, leaving your side ♫

♫ Letting the memories migrate to that day of happiness ♫

♫ I'm trying hard to smile as I say goodbye to you ♫

♫ I recall and long for the happiness you want, I can make it happen ♫

♫ Can't hold back the tears, leading to regret ♫

♫ Losing you whom I love, heartbreak is inevitable ♫

♫ I choose to bid farewell with a smile ♫

[Recap]

You're so irresponsible!

What did Chen Qing from the book do wrong?

Can't you finish writing and give him a proper ending?

Why do you have to make Chen Qing in the novel suffer

just because you're suffering?

I'm begging you to write it well.

This time, I must get Qingfeng a happy ending.

This is the lantern you lit?

[He Tianxing]

Why is my name on it?

Zheng Xiao'en, who are you exactly?

Why do you keep appearing before my eyes?

I'm Zheng Xiao'en, someone who works at a publishing company.

Our publishing company

sincerely wants to publish an autobiography of yours.

I guarantee that we can present the real you.

Isn't Zheng Xiao'en just a stranger to you?

Why do you have to particularly look after her?

I already know that Situ Aoran is Situ Aoran

and that He Tianxing is He Tianxing.

But when I went to conduct the interview,

I couldn't help but try to find

traces of Situ Aoran on He Tianxing.

That's why I really can't go anymore. Really.

I can't go anymore.

May I ask if you're Mr. He Tianjian?

Someone came forward to testify against you.

Then what do you plan to tell the police?

I plan to cooperate with the investigation

and respond honestly.

[Lost Romance]

[Chapter Eighteen]

[Tianliang Group]

Tianjian was questioned by the police?

Come in.

Where is the chairman?

It's already been a few days since the chairman last came to the office.

Hello? Old Hu!

Tianjian? Tianjian isn't home.

Isn't he at work?

No?

How is that possible?

It's true. He hasn't come in for a few days already.

What?

Old Hu! He left the country!

He even took his passport with him.

Lately, Tianliang Group has been going through incident after incident.

First, the leader changed due to issues with inheritance.

Now, the current chairman, He Tianjian, is involved in a criminal case.

Because He Tianjian has repeatedly

failed to respond to the court summons...

Looks like whether I want to or not,

I still have to go see He Mingli.

I'll go contact them.

You have to use that money from Dad.

- To do what? - To save Tianliang.

Why should I?

Because if Tianliang falls,

I won't starve if I leave.

But you, your mom, and your brother will definitely be devoured.

In the end, you might not even be able to hold on to that money.

Why should I believe you?

You don't have to believe me.

It's not because of you that I want to save Tianliang.

It's because of Dad. Because he used to take care of me.

I will only help this once.

What do you want to do?

Someone is trying to hollow out the company.

A lot of money has been changing hands multiple times.

Whether that money will come back in a legal way

and when it will come back are still problems.

We can only try to find that money back ourselves.

You take care of it.

He Tianxing.

What will happen to Tianjian?

What will happen to him

depends on what you did at the police station, doesn't it?

Since he was able to leave the police station safe and sound,

doesn't that mean you lied?

What could happen to him?

I didn't want to cover it up for him. It's just that...

He's really important to my mom.

At least you still have family members you can protect.

Hey, be careful.

It's a bit late now.

Why don't we cancel the publishing company's interview?

No.

Do your best to get home as soon as possible.

Okay.

Did you wait a long time?

Why is it you?

CEO, Zheng Xiao'en cannot come out to conduct this interview

due to personal reasons.

I will be conducting the interviews from now on.

Where is Zheng Xiao'en?

Where is Zheng Xiao'en right now?

I haven't heard anything from Chuntian.

That probably means things are going smoothly, right?

Don't think about it anymore.

Zheng Xiao'en, starting this second,

you must completely forget about He Tianxing.

Zheng Xiao'en.

No way, is this the auditory hallucination they speak of?

What did I say about letting go?

Zheng. Xiao'en.

I was hearing things before. Now I'm seeing things.

What's next?

Ah, it hurts!

Why didn't you show up as promised?

Mr. He, please have some tea.

I didn't come here for tea.

Give me a reason.

It's just...

I had something going on.

So you didn't even think of a reason to explain your absence?

No, that's not it.

Our publishing company is so small.

There are so few people yet so many things to do.

When we're busy,

it's more efficient to divide the work and cooperate with one another.

Oh, so only you're busy and I'm not busy?

No, I just think that...

It doesn't matter who the interviewer is.

The interviewee is the important one.

Oh, I'm very important.

So important that you didn't even tell me that you wouldn't be coming.

Zheng Xiao'en, how do you carry out your tasks? What do I usually teach you?

If you don't go, you have to let the other party know.

Hurry up and apologize.

I'm sorry.

But it's also the same if Chuntian interviews you.

How is it the same?

Don't you know that you're the reason I'm letting Ruge

publish my autobiography?

Because of me?

Yes, it was because of you.

Because you were the one who convinced me.

I trusted you,

yet you chose to run away just as we were getting started.

If you're such an irresponsible person,

then I have to honestly say that

I'm very disappointed.

Zheng Xiao'en, you're also in the wrong here.

Some people and some things can never be replaced.

You are absolutely right.

For example, the sense of trust.

You are absolutely right.

For example, a promise.

You are absolutely right.

For example, the interviewer and interviewee's chemistry.

- Do you— - You are—

Do you know what the most precious thing in this world is?

Money?

No. This answer is too tacky.

That's right, it's money.

Because time is money.

You used your time to exchange for mine.

But in all fairness,

do you think the cost of our time is the same?

I gave you my time, which means that I trust you.

But in the end, you treated me as a human ball.

You come when you want to.

When you don't, you kick me to your teammate.

I know I'm in the wrong—

If you're not apologizing from the bottom of your heart,

then don't say sorry to me.

"Although You're an Overbearing CEO, It's Okay?"

What? Do you have any comments?

I really don't understand

why Tianxing would let

a romance novel publishing company publish his autobiography.

It's so ridiculous.

Do you want to know the reason?

You know why?

No, I don't.

I just know that wealthy people think differently from us.

That's why he is the CEO,

and you can only be an assistant.

Are you teaching me a lesson?

Who gave you the courage?

Brainless romance novel editor.

What do you mean, brainless?

I don't care if you insult me,

but I won't let you hear the end of it if you insult romance novels!

It's because you don't read romance novels

that you can't get the overbearing CEO!

Which of your eyes saw that I was trying to get the overbearing CEO?

I saw it with both eyes!

Zheng Xiao'en and I used a drone and saw it clearly

in high definition, unpixelated, and with no blindspots!

So it seems... you still can't think of a reason to convince me.

Then let's follow the original plan.

You will continue to conduct my interviews.

Of course. That's exactly what she'll do.

That's what we should've done in the first place.

No problem.

See you tomorrow.

CEO, I'll walk you out.

After you.

These romance novels are a gift from me.

After you learn from them,

you can use those skills on overbearing CEOs

other than He Tianxing.

As for how successful the mission will be, the face decides that.

I can't help you with that part.

Mr. He, I'm sorry that you had to specially make the trip here.

I'm really sorry.

You guys are done talking?

Where's Xiao'en?

As for the interview time and location,

Su Shanna will notify you later.

Okay. CEO, take care.

If you're free, come over for a visit. Our office is so close anyway.

If you're free, come over for a cup of tea.

- CEO, watch your step. - Be careful.

Be careful on the road!

Bye bye!

Where's Xiao'en?

Do you think He Tianxing's plan is trustworthy?

We have no other choice; we can only trust him.

Miss, the most important thing now is to save Tianliang Group.

The only person who has this ability is Young Master Tianxing.

My most hated rival turned out to be my last teammate.

In the end, the person standing by my side

is actually He Tianxing.

Madam.

Mingli.

Mom, why are you here?

Haven't you watched TV? Tianjian is wanted by the police.

How can this happen?

Hurry up and think of a solution.

Think of a solution?

When did I become in charge of the court of law?

We can't just sit back and let Tianjian be wrongly accused.

What if he wasn't wrongly accused?

That's not possible.

Since young, he's been kind and timid.

He can't possibly kill someone.

It's He Tianxing. To seize back control of the company,

he's falsely accusing Tianjian on purpose.

Now that I think about it, it's really not easy being He Tianxing.

No matter what mistakes arise, we just push it all on him.

Are you speaking up for He Tianxing?

I'm not speaking up for anyone.

I'm telling the truth.

He Tianxing was pushed off the building by He Tianjian.

That's not possible.

You're lying!

I saw it with my own eyes.

Even though I was the mastermind,

Tianjian was the one who carried out the task.

Mingli, how could you?

So now do you understand?

Tianjian is not innocent at all.

It's all because of you. It's all because of you!

What kind of elder sister are you?

Since young, Tianjian has always listened to you.

He would do whatever you told him to.

How could you tell him to do such a thing?

I only have one son!

Why don't you blame him for being weak and gullible?

Growing up, whenever he faced problems,

he only knew how to hide behind me.

No matter what the situation was,

other people had to make decisions for him.

He's not a child anymore!

It's about time he learns to face problems himself!

You're talking nonsense.

You guys are the ones who led him astray.

That's right. It's you guys!

You guys led him astray!

It's you guys!

You guys led my son astray.

Tianjian.

- Xiao'en. - Yeah?

We haven't lazed around like this at home for a really long time.

It feels like a lot of things have happened after you woke up.

But it's good that everything is gradually getting back on track.

Thank you for never leaving my side.

You're indeed my best friend.

Finally, there's someone who can share the world's most delicious unit with me.

Half a bag!

God, I really miss this flavor.

You'll have to see He Tianxing again tomorrow.

Will you be okay?

I'll be okay!

Business is business. What's so hard about that?

Alright!

It's very hard.

Is it because they look alike

that I keep seeing Aoran in him?

Zheng Xiao'en is planning on having an affair

and making a cuckold of Situ Aoran.

I'm not!

Do you know what's crazier than cheating on an overbearing CEO?

What?

Cheating on him twice.

Huh?

Look, you went into the novel thinking

"Situ Aoran is so much like He Tianxing!"

Then, you come back to the real world thinking,

"He Tianxing is so much like Situ Aoran!"

You are toying with the overbearing CEO

from both worlds in the palm of your hands.

You are a paragon of womankind (*Symbolizes men who are cuckolds)

and a wholesale distributor of green hats. (*Symbolizes men who are cuckolds)

Is that a compliment?

Of course.

Green hats are only green if the man considers it to be.

Think about it. Yesterday, I liked Gong Yoo.

Today, I like Lee Min Ho. Tomorrow, I'll like Hyun Bin.

Do they think they're wearing a green hat (being cheated on)?

That's right!

But...

My relationship with Situ Aoran is different.

I know.

Your marriage with him is not recognized in this world.

So is your relationship with He Tianxing crossing a moral line?

- No. - That's right! Stop fretting.

It's more urgent to quickly finish our mission.

Press on! Pull yourself together!

Hey, thanks to you,

I finally experienced for the first time today

what it's like to be roared at by an overbearing CEO.

Even though he shouted another woman's name,

the anger was directed toward me.

In that second, I had a place in his heart, right?

Another woman? Who?

Who else could it be, other than you?

Where is Zheng Xiao'en?

I said, where is Zheng Xiao'en right now?

I need to make out with her right now.

What?!

I added that sentence at the end.

You scared me to death.

You were secretly happy about it. I can see you trying not to smile.

- Don't think you can lie to me. - When did I?

You were.

You don't even know.

This afternoon, I really wanted to ask He Tianxing to stay still

so that I could take a photo certifying that the overbearing CEO was here.

After all, the only roaring god I know in my life is the chief editor.

Speaking of the chief editor, I almost forgot

that I need to take time off next Friday.

It's almost the orphanage director's birthday, isn't it?

Don't worry, I'll let the chief editor know.

[CEO, You're So Naughty]

[Chairman He Tianjian]

Uncle Hu.

Miss, why are you here?

I can't come to my family's company?

That's not what I meant.

I was just concerned for you.

I'm just joking with you, Uncle Hu.

Don't worry.

Ah, okay. Is your health okay?

Thank you for your concern, Uncle Hu. I'm better.

Actually, I wanted to rest more,

but Tianjian is having issues, so how could I not return?

If I didn't step in,

who else could carry Tianliang on their shoulders? Could you?

Miss, you really love telling jokes.

I'm not. I'm for real this time.

Before, I worked myself till I was sick.

After a long break, I realize that people need to take breaks.

Unfortunately, God isn't sparing me.

Miss, we are all very clear how responsible you are.

We are just concerned about your health. You need to...

Miss, Young Master Tianxing has returned.

[Tianliang Group]

CEO, welcome back. I hope you had a full recovery.

Aren't you coming along?

CEO, we knew that you could overcome this crisis.

Thank you, everyone.

CEO, welcome back.

We've waited a long time for you.

Your life sure is resilient.

A fall from the rooftop couldn't even kill you.

Turns out there really are miracles in this world.

If you could even become Tianliang's chairwoman,

this world definitely has miracles.

He Tianxing!

Don't be like this.

The late chairman said we're all family.

There's no need to have daggers drawn at the first encounter,

especially with all the employees watching.

Tianxing, didn't you just get discharged from the hospital?

You haven't recovered for very long.

Is there a rush to be back at the company?

I have a reason I must return.

What reason?

I returned to Tianliang today

in order to exercise the right to inspection as a board director

and reexamine all investment profits and losses of Tianliang

and its subsidiary companies.

Uncle Hu, I'll need your assistance.

That won't be a problem, right?

Of course that won't be a problem.

Let's go.

Wait.

Why do you seem familiar?

Have we met somewhere before?

I don't think so. I think you're mistaken.

What is going on?

The day Tianxing transferred hospitals,

you were the person he grabbed on the stretcher.

So you already knew each other?

What do you mean?

I grabbed her?

When they were putting you in the ambulance,

you were unconscious but you suddenly grabbed someone's hand.

That was her.

[CEO He Tianxing]

You use this, too?

Too?

So who else uses this?

It's a bit hard to explain.

There are so many things in your life that are hard to explain.

Are there?

That incident at the hospital.

Why would I grab your hand when I'm unconscious?

That's something I should be asking you.

I was just passing by when you grabbed me.

You nearly scared me to death.

I thought I was being taken as a replacement. (Chinese folklore)

I'm the victim.

But I clearly didn't know you at that time.

What happened after?

Afterwards, I had a fever when I went home that night.

And then...?

You fell into a coma for three months, just like I did.

Don't you think this is really weird?

You and I had no prior interaction,

yet at a time of life and death, I grabbed your hand.

Then, we were both in a coma for three months.

It is really weird.

Could this all just be a coincidence?

No, I don't think it's just a coincidence.

Then, what is it?

It's fate.

You've read too many novels.

No, it really is fate.

Otherwise, why didn't you grab anybody else

and just so happen to grab me?

Alright, let's just call it fate.

Have a seat.

Are you done with your work?

Not yet, but I don't want to make you wait too long.

Same rules. You ask a question, then I'll ask a question.

I came prepared today.

Bring it on.

Come in.

CEO.

Did I interrupt you?

No, go ahead.

In order to celebrate your return,

we would like to host a dinner tonight to welcome you back to the team.

I don't know if you are available to attend, CEO.

Of course.

Please let Shanna know the time and place. I will show up on time.

That's great. The employees are really looking forward to this.

This is Ruge's editor, Zheng Xiao'en.

Hello, Miss Zheng.

Do you want to join us for dinner tonight?

No, it's okay.

I'm not a Tianliang employee.

Not just the financials for the past few years,

we have to start inspecting from

the first investment case that Hu Chaoqin managed.

Even if they're companies that are already bankrupt,

we still need to find the people

who were responsible at the time and the companies' account books.

Check for any discrepancies between the accounts on both sides.

Don't worry. I will take care of it.

Even if the accounts on both sides are checked, there won't be a problem

and you won't be implicated.

Yes, I'd like to verify with you the discount and loan,

as well as that sum of money.

We must force him into a dead end,

so that he can only take the one emergency exit we've left him.

He must flee in defeat.

Didn't I already kick you both out?

Why are you both back?

Hello? It's me.

Are you free right now?

[Chairman He Tianjian]

He Tianxing hit the nail on the head.

It was Hu Chaoqin who called.

He said that there's something he'd like to discuss with me.

Miss, this is just the beginning.

You must be careful.

You must not let the cat out of the bag.

I know.

What do you mean there's no need? Who said there's no need?

Are you just going to give He Tianxing to the white lotus?

That's not it.

It's a company dinner. I don't even work for Tianliang Group.

Where are they having dinner?

What do you want to do?

Do you still need to ask?

Of course it's pulling out all the old tropes.

Meeting coincidentally, tripping, and kissing until we're satisfied.

We can't.

What do you mean you can't?

They already asked you, so it's not like you can't.

I rejected it.

We can take it back. You can even take back wedding vows.

If you flake on plans, you can still make it up, right?

Hurry up. Hand over the location of the dinner.

I don't know where it is.

Then who should I ask?

Su Shanna with the facial paralysis or dumb Jason?

Give me their phone numbers.

How would I have their phone numbers?

I'm so hungry. I want to eat right away.

What a coincidence.

Our table is over here.

- What are you doing? - It's the white lotus.

She'll misunderstand and think that we followed them here.

I—

Did we do anything shameful? I have nothing to hide.

Why do I have to cover my face?

Okay, okay. Not so hard.

Shut up and follow me.

Six o'clock direction. Retreat.

Why are you so slow?

It's a waste to order food and not eat it.

Hurry up.

- You again? - You again?

Did you guys hate each other in a past life?

We meet again.

So hungry.

Let's order this. It'll be tasty.

- I want to drink alcohol. - You want to drink alcohol?

I want this chocolate flavor one.

Look, there are so many options.

Why did you agree to He Tianxing's invitation?

Oh, please. Who can say no to the overbearing CEO?

At the very least, I can't.

Then you could've just come yourself.

Why did you drag me into this?

You said it yourself. Half a bag is the most delicious unit.

It's meaningless if I enjoy something by myself.

Order whatever you want to eat. Don't hold back.

Don't worry, I never hold back.

It looks really yummy.

When can we start eating?

I'm so hungry.

Before we eat, let's give a toast to the CEO.

- Welcome back, CEO! - Welcome back, CEO!

I haven't been to a gathering with you all in a long time. Thank you.

During my absence, all of you have continuously cheered me on.

I appreciate your kindness.

It's really great that Tianliang has you guys.

We're the ones who should thank you.

It's our fortune to have CEO safely return to the company in good health.

Everyone, let's give a round of applause

to welcome the CEO back to the team!

Sit down please.

Let's eat.

Yes.

CEO.

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

- Eat more. - Why are you being so nice to me?

Because after I eat, I want to play basketball.

- So suddenly? - Yes, you can be the ball.

Thank you.

Me too, while you're at it.

Am I a waitress?

Are you okay?

I feel like I'm in the audience.

It's like watching live streamers compete through a screen.

I don't even have the qualifications to donate to them,

let alone join the competition.

I'm a complete outsider.

Zheng Xiao'en, I see that you haven't eaten much.

Is the food not to your taste?

No, I'm not a picky eater at all. I eat everything.

It's happy hour!

Everyone, today's happy hour

happens to be a weekly drinking competition.

Today, the winner of the competition

can get 20% off the total bill.

Wow!

CEO, if I win,

can I make a wish to have a pair of cufflinks you wear often?

Does it have to be a drinking competition?

Can't it be a boxing competition?

Please take away my fork and knife.

I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.

Zheng Xiao'en, fight with her.

Zheng Xiao'en and I want to join the competition.

Ready, set, go!

Go, go, go!

You're almost done.

Go, go, go!

I'm so full.

- My stomach is going to explode! - Oh, please.

If we don't catch up quickly, when Chuchu gets the CEO's cufflinks,

we'll be too heartbroken to shed tears.

If we don't determine the winner soon,

the whole department will have to ask for leave tomorrow.

Okay. Then let's fight a quick battle to determine the winner.

One sentence. Go big or go home.

Beer is for kindergarteners. Let's compete using mixed drinks!

Who's competing?

Me!

Me... and my friend!

The person who gets the cufflinks rules the world.

- There's such a sentence? - That's not important.

The important thing is

the cufflinks can't fall into the hands of the white lotus.

Are you ready?

Ready.

Yeah... right.

Ready...

- Set... - Wait.

CEOs are just so assertive.

CEO, you can't be biased.

"Handsome" is just one word, but it follows him for life.

Chuntian!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You won.

Time to go home.

Jason.

I'll have to trouble you to take care of Shanna and Chuchu.

CEO, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Then I'll take them home first.

We'll head out now.

I'm sorry.

There's still something I'd like to tell Xiao'en.

Then you guys take your time to talk.

I suddenly feel a little nauseous again.

I'll go first. Bye bye.

♫ See you around, will you miss me? ♫

♫ Don't miss home too much when it's time to party ♫

Are you okay?

♫ And I'm leaving home ♫

♫ Don't think it's where I belong ♫

♫ I say goodbye in place of gratitude ♫

Although you probably can't tell,

I'm actually... on the brink of collapsing.

♫ Walking on this unfamiliar street ♫

♫ I really want to make a phone call ♫

♫ A number with no one to answer ♫

♫ My last wish is to never regret ♫

♫ Brave out the heartbreak to no longer be afraid of heartbreaks ♫

♫ I choose to bid farewell with a smile ♫

Sorry.

I didn't hurt you, did I?

My hand doesn't hurt.

Then, it's...

My heart hurts.

You're in such a drunken state, yet you're still so guarded.

How exactly did you grow up?

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You're vomiting like this and you still say you're fine.

Wipe your face.

Thank you.

I'm much better now.

It's late. I'll call a taxi for you.

Call a taxi? Why?

To take you home.

You don't think I know how to do such a simple task?

I'm not a three-year-old baby. I can go home by myself.

Also, this isn't what's important.

Then, what's important?

You should hurry and go take a shower, lie in bed, and get some sleep.

These are all the important things.

- But— - No buts.

Do you know how many people suddenly die when they're drunk?

I won't feel at ease unless I'm by your side watching you.

Here, go take a shower.

Remember not to make the water too hot.

That prevents the blood vessels from constricting rapidly.

Go quickly.

What am I doing here?

I shouldn't be here.

Zheng Xiao'en, you didn't want to get close,

yet you can't help but worry.

You already left,

yet you keep thinking about him.

She left?

Where did you go?

There's only a convenience store and a cemetery nearby your house.

Where else could I go?

So you helped me forage for food?

I was hungry, and I just picked up some food for you along the way.

Do you want some?

This is ramen.

You must've seen it but never eaten it before.

Let me tell you, it's super unhealthy but super delicious.

I don't know why you think I've never had ramen before.

Not only have I eaten it often,

but there was also a time when ramen was the only thing I had to eat.

But it has been a long time since I've eaten it.

I do kind of miss it.

Oh...

You're really different from the overbearing CEO I imagined.

I thought that rich heirs wouldn't eat junk food like this.

You know that He Mingli, He Tianjian, and I

are siblings with the same father but different mothers, right?

Yes.

In the past, my mom was really busy.

My dad was even busier.

I was a latchkey kid ever since I was little.

When I was hungry, I'd go buy ramen to eat.

When my clothes were dirty, I'd wash them myself.

I knew since I was young that only I could take care of myself.

I wish there was ramen with such a big pieces of meat in the past.

I thought that every rich heir was born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

But you're still pretty lucky to have had parents.

I don't even know what my parents look like.

So you're like me.

You learned how to make a living and support yourself early on.

Yeah, I used to have a lot of part-time jobs.

The most grueling one was having to put on a clam shell costume over the summer.

Is there a more inhuman part-time job than this?

I think I got heat stroke every summer.

Me too.

What?

I've also had a part-time job where I had to dress up in a costume.

Are you trying to console me?

No, it's true.

Once, I did poorly on a test.

I didn't get the scholarship, and I was too scared to tell my mom.

So I had to work part-time every weekend.

I never would've thought that you used to work when you were a child.

So we came from the same line of work?

You would've never expected that, right?

Thank goodness my friends at that time were really nice.

They saw how hard I worked, so they would take my shifts for me.

Or else, I wouldn't have been able to balance both school and work.

I would've had to work the next semester as well.

I get it.

Even though I didn't have a family,

I had friends who were closer than family.

Just like Chuntian.

But ever since my mom passed away, I was taken to the He family

and was transferred to an elite school.

I haven't had ramen since then,

and I also lost touch with all my classmates from back then.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't know why but

I used to think that we were people from different worlds,

but the more I come to understand you,

the more I feel that you're not that far out of reach after all.

Take your time to eat. I'm full.

Hey, leave it here. I'll clean it up.

It's okay.

Wait.

You have a fever?

Yes.

When did it start?

Yesterday.

The day before yesterday.

And you said you knew how to take care of yourself ever since you were little.

♫ See you around, will you miss me? ♫

♫ Don't miss home too much when it's time to party ♫

♫ And I'm leaving home ♫

♫ Don't think it's where I belong ♫

The ice pack isn't cold anymore.

I'll help you switch it out with a cold one.

That's too much trouble for you.

I'll get better after I sleep.

Just go to sleep. Don't mind me.

In a storm, you have to be like an adult.

In beautiful weather, you have to be like a child.

But did the storm never clear up in your world?

Didn't I say that as long as I reach out my hand,

I must be able to touch you?

This is the farthest distance you can be away from me.

As long as I reach out my hand,

I will be able to touch you.

This is the farthest distance you can be away from me.

What did you say?

What did you just say, He Tianxing?

He Tianxing.

What did you just say?

Say it one more time.

Did I just say something?

It's nothing.

I misheard.

Please rest.

Why did He Tianxing say the exact same thing as Situ Aoran?

[Romantic CEO]

[CEO, You're So Naughty]

[CEO, You're So Naughty]

I'm overthinking things.

I've just read too many romance novels.

Zheng Xiao'en left?

Why didn't she say anything again?

Good morning, CEO.

Good morning.

I know! How many times do you have to repeat yourself?

How annoying can you be?

I don't care what reason you use,

you have to do your best to stall Hu Chaoqin

to create time for Su Shanna and the others.

I understand,

but don't be too pleased with yourself.

It's because I'm taking the big picture into account

that I'm allying with a secondary enemy

to fight the main enemy.

I understand. Hurry up and go in.

Hu Chaoqin should already be here.

Hi.

Are you looking for our CFO?

He's not here.

Let's go together.

Keep looking.

Uncle Hu, why did you suddenly ask to meet me?

Is there something you need?

It's nothing much actually.

I just wanted to celebrate

your return to the company with a welcome dinner, Miss.

Uncle Hu, you're very kind.

I'm going to say something that sounds self-righteous.

Please don't take offense, Miss.

Actually, having watched all of you grow up,

I feel like you're my own daughter in my heart.

That's why seeing you return in good health

makes me happier than anyone else.

But not once did I expect that

Tianxing would return too.

That's right. He Tianxing fell from such a height, yet he didn't die.

As it turns out, it's true that bad things never die.

Uncle Hu, tell me. How is he any better than me?

How could he even compare to you?

Are you here to have a heart-to-heart talk?

Get to the point. Investigate the cash flow.

From now on, repeat after me.

Uncle Hu, you invited me here today to discuss He Tianxing, right?

So, Uncle Hu, you invited me here today to discuss He Tianxing, right?

Sure enough, you are exceptionally intelligent, Miss.

To be honest,

out of the entire He family,

He Tianxing is the one with the business mind.

To be honest, out of the entire He family,

He Tianxing is the one with the business mind.

Why would I overestimate my abilities and try to compete with him?

Why would I overestimate my abilities and try to compete with him?

Don't you think this is such a joke?

Miss, you're too modest.

I don't even know how to write the word "modest."

However, I'm quite an expert at the word "bankruptcy."

After all, I toyed with so many companies into their collapse.

Isn't that right?

He Tianxing, you're dead.

Great plans can be ruined by just a touch of impatience.

Also, stop adding your own lines.

That's how investments are. There are gains and losses.

It's fine. I will help you.

So what have you been investing in, Uncle Hu?

Are there any opportunities to make money?

As it happens, I have an antique chess set on me right now.

It has some value.

How much do you want for it?

NT$30 million (~US$1 million).

NT$30 million?

What kind of chess set is worth NT$30 million?

I haven't even seen so much as a shadow of the chess set,

and you want me to pull out NT$30 million?

It seems a bit expensive.

It's not expensive.

With just NT$30 million, you can resell it for double.

It's a guaranteed profit with no losses.

But Uncle Hu, you just said that there must be gains and losses in investment.

That's right. That's why I'm putting out the NT$30 million.

You just need to sign a form as a figurehead,

and then wait to earn your NT$30 million.

There's such a good opportunity?

Of course that's not a problem.

Thank you, Uncle Hu.

But since I'm helping you out,

I'd like to kindly ask you to help me with something.

Help with what?

Kick He Tianxing off the board of directors.

[Preview]

You were the one who saw through my disguise

and allowed me to experience feelings I've never felt before.

He Tianxing and Situ Aoran are like a loop.

Perhaps I'm seeing He Tianxing as Situ Aoran

due to a projection of my innermost feelings.

Don't be like this. Don't make me confused.

Don't make me fall in love with you.

Why do you have to do so much for me,

and then now tell me that you don't want to fall in love with me?

You don't love me? Then let me love you.

"Lose to You" by Marcus Chang

♫ Memories wear protective coloration ♫

♫ Ambushing in the middle of the night ♫

♫ A quiet strike ♫

♫ Streetlights awaiting dusk ♫

♫ Still awaiting as always ♫

♫ Nothing is impossible ♫

♫ Even if no one is perfect ♫

♫ Holding you next to my heartbeat ♫

♫ Tightly held the palm of my hand ♫

♫ It remains the only farewell ♫

♫ If I could see you again ♫

♫ Carefully planning my gamble with you ♫

♫ In the end, I lost to you ♫

♫ I think of you until I can no longer breathe ♫

♫ If you were a painter ♫

♫ Then I'll be your canvas ♫

♫ No regrets ♫

♫ I lost all my love to you ♫
