Episode 25

Game start!

One… two...

Jiayou! Jiayou! Jiayou!

They are really serious about it.

Let me announce it officially now.

Pang Da Hai and his friend got first place.

Applause!

Qiu Yang,

have a drink with your brother-in-law.

I still have to return to the company in a while.

I cannot drink, I am driving.

You should not drink as well.

It’s not a good thing to drink all day.

Is everything all with between you and my sister?

It’s nothing.

It can be solved.

Qiu Yang,

all those years

when I was with your sister,

I was wishing

for the time

to go back to the moment when we got married.

I never expected to reach this point today.

Really.

Brother-in-law,

I have never experienced a marriage as long as yours,

but I think that’s probably what marriage

is all about.

You have to walk away from all the things you had

You have to throw them away.

It is good in a way.

I have no courage

to enter a new marriage.

What do you mean?

You are now married with Sheng Xia.

I am talking about next time.

If me and Sheng Xia were to split.

Actually, it is not easy for me

to be with your sister now.

At that time, she

was young,

pretty.

She had this boyish character.

She was whirling around all day long,

always quick and agile in everything she did.

I felt bored

so I liked to be with her.

It was comfortable.

Really comfortable.

Right,

there was a man chasing your sister then.

There was still someone else chasing her?

Brother-in-law, so you won the competition so to say?

Won the competition?

I rather sealed my tragic fate.

At that time, my relationship with your sister was very good.

I was ashamed to mention that to her then.

I couldn’t guess your sister’s mind.

But that man….

But that man...

He would

smother her every day with flowers or a confession,

he would either send the flowers or personally

falling on his knees before her.

Do people still do such things?

Have you ever seen someone like him?

I really wanted to burn him alive.

And then?

She married me.

I know that, of course.

And that my sister bore you a child later.

I asked what happened later

that made my sister marry you.

I will tell you about it.

That evening,

he told me he’ll be watching a movie with your sister.

I decided at that time

that I must take action at this very moment

or I will never see your sister in my life,

you know?

So I was waiting.

I was waiting for your sister downstairs.

They came down after watching the movie.

I waited for the man to go

and immediately rushed up.

I picked her up from the stairs.

I was just holding her.

I could not let go, asking who does she love.

Your sister understood everything later.

Qiu Yang,

do you...

do you think

I am more stinky and shameless than that man?

No.

Brother-in-law,

I think you are very brave.

I admire you very much.

I still have something to do, I will be leaving first.

Don’t.

I just got a little emotional.

I have recalled something else.

Next time.

I will listen to you when I find some time.

You should not drink anymore.

I will call my sister later.

Qiu Yang...

All right, let’s move forward

to the most exciting moment of the year.

Who will take the big prize home this year?

Do you want to know it?

We do!

In fact, I also want to know it.

So we will put two light beams

on the faces of two people.

Those two will be the lucky ones

this year,

all right?

Good!

Let’s ask our lightning engineer to dim the lights.

It’s here. Here. Come.

Su Yun, it’s coming this way.

Su Yun, come, come. Here, here.

Exactly.

Is that us?

let our lighting engineer

to switch the lights on.

And now

let us give a round of applause and ask Sheng Xia and her friend to come on stage.

Let us be a bit more enthusiastic!

it turned out that doctor Sheng won the grand prize.

And...

this must be our doctor’s husband,

right?

Yes!

No. He really is not.

He is a good friend of mine.

Since you came together,

he must be really close with your doctor,

right?

Yes!

It is the final part of our annual meeting,

so doctor Sheng,

since you have reaped the big prize,

we, all your subordinates

cannot let you off so easily,

right?

Right!

Bring me the balloon here. Come.

Bring me the balloon.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Come, give us a round of applause as encouragement.

The rules are well-known.

Put the balloon between you two

and the squeeze it hard.

Our grand prize s coming up!

Applause!

Applause! Applause!

Come! One, two. Start!

Break it by pressing it!

Jiayou! Jiayou! Jiayou!

Applause!

We have to ask now

our doctor and her handsome guy

how are you going to share this award?

Actually,

I am lucky to have Sheng Xia at my side today.

Sheng Xia and I

are friends that have known each other for many years.

I did not expect to get such a chance today.

I want to take this opportunity

to ask Sheng Xia to travel with me to Taiwan.

So romantic.

It turned out to be a trip to Taiwan.

A trip! A trip! A trip!

A trip! A trip! A trip!=

Hello?

Zhang Li.

Qiu Yang, did you get off work?

You were looking for me?

I did.

Let’s meet at my company.

All right.

Was it Qiu Yang?

Yes.

I just wanted to ask him

why did he come and just left.

Oh, right.

Thank you

Sheng Xia...

Today

I want to do something particularly important.

In fact, I have been waiting for you.

It does not matter how long will it take,

but today I want to make a bet.

A bet that you will agree to.

You know about my mom’s situation.

I am going back to Taiwan soon.

I wonder

if you can go back with me

and use the identity I think you should have.

I am sorry.

it is all right.

Maybe… Maybe it is all too sudden?

I am a little too anxious.

I am sorry, Sheng Xia.

Let’s take it slowly, all right?

Meng Zheng...

We...

Let’s stop our

second attempt here.

Why?

Because I think I am too tired

Maybe I do not know

what I want for myself.

Some things have already passed,

we cannot make them come back.

Let’s just be friends.

Maybe being friends

is the most suitable relation for us.

Yes. You are right.

Maybe it is not the right time.

Maybe if it was before Qiu Yang appeared...

In fact, i was able to see

how Qiu Yang’s existence affects your emotions.

A bystander sees through everything.

But I am not a bystander.

No matter what,

I have really tried.

I will at least not have any regrets in the future.

Thank you, Sheng Xia.

Thank you for the ring.

One day,

it will find its way to the person that is most important to you.

Since you are returning to Taiwan in two days,

I wish you a speedy journey.

Since things turned like this,

I should be going tomorrow.

You...

take care.

I am sorry.

I am going first.

Hello?

Did you come to the auditorium?

I was just passing by.

I chased after you,

but I did not catch you.

You were gone already.

I just want to ask if you are free later.

I want to invite you to dinner.

I cannot.

I have something to do at the company.

Get back to work then.

You came back so soon.

Yes.

Since you called me,

it must be something important.

Why were you looking for me?

You did not wait until you can get off work,

how can you have so much free time?

I find that you

are only appearing when it is particularly suitable.

Say it.

Did you come to give me some good wine again?

Really, you...

You really brought it.

This is a red wine I brought to you

from my Bordeaux winery in France.

Taste it.

All right, I wanted to have a drink anyway.

This wine is really good

Qiu Yang,

before you get dizzy from drinking,

I will tell you something positive first.

Say it.

I have reported about the plan

you told me about to higher ups.

I have also discussed it with the founders.

They made an assessment.

I think there is a big hope for our collaboration.

All right.

Great news indeed.

Let’s do like this.

In the next days

speed up your talks with them.

See if it's possible to have an interview.

By the way,

I thought about several development projects in the past two days.

I will show them to you.

Wait.

Qiu Yang,

I think your recent state is somehow awkward.

How is it awkward.

Do you think I am particularly inspired?

I think you are drifting away.

Drifting away...

In fact, during our outing to the resort,

I found you were a little bit out of place.

Really?

Was I?

You do not have to lie to me anymore.

This bottle of red wine

is also my late blessing.

I wish you a happy marriage?

How did you know?

You are a business celebrity.

How can you hide your marriage news?

I think you really are extraordinary.

Last time at the resort

I found that you are not wearing your ring.

I am really curious

what kind of woman is she.

What methods did she use

to catch you.

I really want to know it.

I am particularly curious,

especially as your confidante.

All right.

Then I will tell you.

In fact, it is only 4 words.

It was a freak combination of factors.

A freak combination of factors?

In fact, no matter what freak combination of factors it was...

Qiu Yang,

I think that

you are enthralled.

is that so?

And so,

you have to think about it well.

Do not let it turn like your previous two marriages.

where you let yourself lose in a mess.

Qiu Yue,

what are you doing?

I gave you two days to look for a house.

You have not found anything.

Have I not warned you in the morning already?

The locks were changes.

My home lock was also change.

Qiu Yue, are you really going to be like this?

When did I ever joke like this?

Fine.

Let’s put it off till tomorrow morning, all right?

Where do you want me to go in the middle of the night?

You can go to your lover.

I do not care.

Qiu Yue!

Qiu Yue!

I am going to sleep, don’t knock on the door.

Stop knocking!

I am inside.

I am sorry.

I did not know you were inside.

It’s all right.

Did the anniversary event went well?

It went smoothly.

Meng Zheng is going back to Taiwan tomorrow.

He is going back tomorrow?

Did he not say he will leave later?

Tne will...

you really not go with him?

I already told him

that we should stop

I do not want to try again.

Should we slow down

our divorce then?

No.

I am afraid it will affect your normal life.

It has no influence on my life.

Is it not affecting your freedom?

Freedom cannot replace loneliness.

All right.

Good night.

Who is it?

Brother-in-law?

Qiu Yang...

Come in. What happened?

I have to move.

Can you help me with this baggage first?

Where are you going?

What is going on between you and my sister?

Did you not say that you’ll fix it?

Qiu Yang,

it is not as simple as I thought.

Forget it. Let’s not talk about it. I am leaving.

Where are you going in the middle of the night?

I will just go to my friend’s house.

What friend?

Any friend will do since it is the middle of the night.

All right.

Stay here.

Will it not be inconvenient?

Sheng Xia...

She’s here.

If she is in, then I will go.

You just got married,

what should i be doing here?

Enough, there is a second bedroom.

Is there?

There is.

Spend the night here.

We will talk about everything else tomorrow.

What are you doing?

Don’t be nervous.

I just want to tell you in advance

that I will spend today’s night in here.

You will stay in here?

Yes.

Brother-in-law is sleeping in our house.

We have to improvise for a while.

No. Absolutely not.

Why not?

Didn’t we sleep in the same room before?

We could do it before,

but

not now.

Why can’t we do it now?

The relationship between my sister and brother-in-law is really bad.

it is a special situation.

Can we not bear with it?

No.

I can't sleep with you on a bed.

I didn't say I want to sleep with you on a bed.

What were you thinking?

I am going to use the floor, like before.

I...

I only have one quilt.

How are you going to sleep on the floor?

I have my own quilt.

Brother-in-law is in the house, will you not get exposed

bringing your quilt here?

You don't have to worry about this.

I just came to give you prior notice.

I will find a way to do it later.

Sit.

Relax. Relax.

Relax. Be good.

Brother-in-law,

I have called my sister,

why is it still like this?

What exactly is going on?

Why did you vex her so?

Your sister is convinced that I have an affair.

Then do you not have an affair?

What kind of a man I am?

I couldn’t do that

Why is she doubting you then?

Maybe it’s menopause?

Is she making groundless accusations?

Then it’s not the case.

You saw that I have been idle for a while, right?

You gave me an idea later,

telling me

that you’ll help me with a part -time job.

I am helping people to cook.

One of my clients is a woman.

I think your sister misinterpreted it

because i did not report it to her right away.

These past two days

when your sister told you that I disappeared for hours,

I was actually

cooking for this girl.

It happened to be her birthday.

She wanted to be polite to me

and offered me a glass of wine.

That’s all.

In the end,

this girl has sent me a photo

and your sister discovered it.

There were two glasses with red wine in the photo.

After that your sister

made a single analysis

and decided that I have an affair.

The girl is single,

she is particularly depressed lately.

She just broke up with her boyfriend and did not snap out of it yet.

So...

you have cooked for her for a few hours.

What else can I do?

So you were cooking for her because she

broke up with her boyfriend.

In other way, you did what she told you.

I drank wine because she asked me to.

Brother-in-law,

you cannot blame my sister.

She has been really sensitive lately.

No wonder she is

doubtful about this case.

No, Qiu Yang.

I hereby swear to you.

I have never wronged your sister in any way

You do not have to swear it.

I believe you.

What you need now is a way to solve it all.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to

repeat the action you told me about in the bar

and gather enough courage

to go back home,

open the door,

go to my sister and embrace her...

Wait, wait, wait.

It was many years ago.

To tell you

the truth, Qiu Yang,

I really cannot stand it anymore.

I want to separate from her for a while.

So we can calm down

and be good to each other again.

Separate for a while?

Then you have to go abroad.

That’s a bit far.

Then how do you want to separate?

I will move to a friend’s house.

Hide there for couple of days.

What friend?

Do you even have such a friend?

I think….

I don’t have one.

How do you want to separate then?

Big deal, I will stay at the hotel.

How much...

how much does a hotel for a night cots?

What kind of hotel do you want to stay in?

How many are there?

Five-star...

Five-star will not do.

I cannot compare with you.

I will stay

in a hotel that does not cost more than a dozen dollars.

What do you think?

Brother-in-law,

just live here,

all right?

Do not bother your friends, all right?

Just live here.

Do you not want a place to quiet down,

to breathe?

Just stay here for a few days, slow down,

wait for an opportunity.

I will also talk to my sister about it,

all right?

Fine.

This place is not too close

but not too far away.

Thank you, Qiu Yang.

Sheng Xia will have no objections?

She will have no objections.

I have to tell you something.

Speak.

Due to some personal reasons

I may not be able

to help you with cooking meals.

Your wife told you something, right?

How did you know?

I have encountered many such situations.

Give me your phone.

What do you need my phone for?

I will call her now

and tell her that you are cooking at my place.

Don’t. Don’t call her.

Knowing her temper

you will two only make it worse.

Let me ask you,

do we have some kind of relationship?

Of course not.

Then it is settled.

What are you feeling guilty about?

Since it is a misunderstanding

you just have to explain everything clearly.

If only I could make it clear to her

I would not have to resign.

I really sympathize with you, Brother Long

There are not many

men who are taking care of the feelings of their other halves

like you do.

Are you and your wife

doing fine now?

We have a good relationship.

She's just a little hot-tempered.

But as a man

I have to endure it.

After all, family harmony and happiness are most important,

right?

Your wife is really lucky.

You are such a great man of standards.

You are skilled and understand life.

You are thoughtful and caring.

Where can one find

such a great husband like you?

Am I really that good?

Of course you are.

Although we do not know each other for a long time,

but

I think there you have many advantages

that you can still use.

Really?

Really.

She has never

praised me for all these years.

She’s been always disgusted with me, giving me a cold shoulder.

I have always felt that I am really bad.

This is called emotional abuse, you know?

it it continues,

it will only destroy your self-confidence.

Do you know what is the most important thing for men?

Confidence.

I am telling you,

I have become less and less confident these years.

Do you know what you need now?

What you need is a woman who truly understands you.

You are exactly on point.

But

if I do not find her,

I will be in trouble.

What is it again?

Sesame chicken nuggets with chili sauce.

it is a new dish that I have created.

Taste it.

It is especially good.

Eat more then, eat more.

Brother Long,

don’t you think

that it is a pity that you are not a chef?

Don’t you think

you are very talented in cooking?

If I were young, I still could become one?

You are wrong.

You are not old.

Your craft

is much better than the restaurants outside.

It is also very ecological and healthy.

I think

you could try to do something in this area.

I only know how to cook, I have no experience in this area?

My wife would never

let me open a restaurant.

Why do you need your wife’s approval?

We can open a business in a partnership.

I will be the funder, you will be taking over the technology.

How about it?

This is a big issue.

I will discuss it after going back home.

Men still have to have their own business

If you can use my money

for this, then just take it.

I am aware of your ability and talent.

How about

you let me think about it first.

What is there to think about?

This is your opportunity.

Opportunity?

Yes, it is indeed an opportunity.

I thought about it.

I think I still have to do something

What do you want to do?

I am partnering with someone to open a restaurant.

With whom?

Ren Sisi?

Have I not tell you not to meet with her?

Yes.

I originally went to her to resign.

And then?

It turned into a partnership with her to open a restaurant?

Yes.

She is chipping in the money,

this business means zero costs for me. Really great.

Brother-in-law,

I advise you to be cautious.

Think about it well.

There are too many cooks in the street.

Why should she be investing in you?

It's not you alone who can cook homemade dishes.

Why did you catch her eye?

What do you mean?

Am I really that naive?

I caught her eye, she wants to invest in me

and you already think it is a trap?

I guess in your sister’s and your eyes

I am just a good-for-nothing tramp, right?

No.

Brother-in-law, this is not what I mean.

I am afraid that you are being fooled by others.

Moreover,

do you think my sister will agree to this concept of yours?

You can tell her.

It is not like I have an unclear conscience.

My sister would make you quit your job

and sever your relationship with Sisi.

That’s out of the question.

This is my bottom line.

Men have to have a career.

I used to take care of Guo Guo.

I retired early.

Guo Guo is abroad now.

I am not ill nor handicapped.

I have to go out and do things.

Hello?

Hello?

Do you think

they will go for the divorce?

After listening to my brother-in-law on the phone,

I think he is quite determined.

All these years

my sister suppressed him really hard.

Did your sister come to see you today?

Did she tell you something?

No.

I guess she is still angry.

She wants to know

whether my brother-in-law is really having an affair with another girl.

It’s crazy, right?

Look, they have been married

for almost their whole life..

Why are they not trusting each other?

What would you do if it was you?

It is really difficult.

But at least

your sister still has feelings for your brother-in-law.

She ties him around

to prove his feelings.

Why do people want to get married?

Because they are lonely?

Is it not because of love?

Why are you looking at me like this?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Qiu Yang,

do you have the thick plaid in there perhaps?

Yes.

What is it? Are you cold?

I..

am cold. I am afraid of cold.

Then wait a minute.

Is it not to hard?

No.

It is not the first time I sleep like this.

You will be cold when you sleep like this.

It’s all right.

It is just one night.

It is a small issue.

I will call my sister to manage this tomorrow.

Then...

come and sleep on the bed.
