[Once Given Never Forgotten Ep28]

He almost ruined his career

due to a past relationship.

This is just the beginning.

A lot more things like this will happen.

How long can you last?

He'll get tired eventually.

What are you gonna do?

Ma'am,

I've thought about these.

I've considered everything

during the years when we were apart.

But since they haven't happened yet,

why worry about them.

I was young

when I married my husband.

Every weekend

I'd drag him to holidays

and parties.

I loved glamming up

but he didn't.

I wanted to travel the world

but he wanted to stay at home.

Gradually we had more and more

problems.

Love is essential.

But

it's not the answer to everything.

Ma'am.

You separated from your husband

because you're both stubborn.

You insisted on your lifestyle

and he insisted on his.

But Yuqiu and I are different.

I've always been a part of his life.

We like each other's pace

and we make changes for each other.

I know you grew up in an orphanage.

You knew him from then.

You've been through a lot.

But have you ever thought about

how he feels

about being with a girl

that he practically raised?

Only

he knows

if it's right or not.

You don't want Xiang Yuqiu

to live his life with other people's opinions, do you?

We understand each other

and support each other.

Nothing

can change that.

Fine.

Since I can't persuade you,

you'd better prove to me

that you're right.

Again,

take good care of the products this time.

OK.

Slow down.

OK.

Move it.

Face forward.

OK.

There's dust on it?

Grab a cloth.

Yeah, cloth.

Don't stare at me. Relax.

I promise to do a fantastic job.

You know that's not what I meant.

The dust. No.

Grab a cloth.

Wipe it down.

Her family is right in front of her,

but it took them years to realize that.

I'm afraid Lianxin won't take this well.

Have you spoken to Lianxin?

Yes.

But every time

she'd change the subject.

She's avoiding it.

Well.

Who could have thought this?

If neither of them

wants to take a step forward,

then we'll have to weigh in.

We have to think carefully

about something this delicate.

This series...

And you can take this...

Remember to adjust the sequence.

Shall we do this first?

OK.

I think...

Oh.

How's your mom doing with the Lianxin thing?

Not as resistant as before.

How long is she staying?

She'll stay for a while.

She's staying?

They're going shopping today.

Really?

Not my idea.

Lianxin's.

They're that close?

Not really.

But better than before.

Let me tell you.

You can't let them

gang up on you.

When you get married,

you have no say in the family.

Way too early for this.

I've said everything I could.

If she's still against it,

I really don't know what to do.

See?

You two clearly care about each other.

But neither wants to take initiative.

Why not?

Are you done?

I've been working my ass off.

Can you help?

Master Chen,

I've placed the products for you.

Do you want me to escort you here?

Coming.

You got a lot to say.

We're done.

It makes me feel peaceful.

It really does.

I love it too.

Nice structure.

But the brushes are there yet.

Can't you just say something nice?

Geez.

Ignore him.

That's what he does.

You two are ganging up on me?

Well.

I say

we buy this painting.

It matches with the house too.

We can hang it in the living room.

It will be my gift to Lianxin.

You're not selling the house?

Changed your mind?

I was mad at you before.

I was just saying it.

Think about it.

I could never sell

the house you grew up in.

Right, right.

I'm not selling the house

on one condition.

What?

I need a room

so I can come to stay any time.

No problem.

Look at Lianxin.

She's so sweet.

Why can't you be like this?

I didn't object.

Fine.

You should see your mom off.

Don't you want to talk to her on the way?

She doesn't need me.

I'm sure she is

having lots of fun somewhere.

She has a younger mind than me.

Lianxin.

When are you going to

talk to Tang Shi?

Let me tell you,

sometimes

when you have a lot on your mind,

you don't have to keep it to yourself.

You can talk to me.

Tang Shi is your only family

in this world.

She's kept it from you for a long time,

but perhaps she...

I know.

But

she used to be my competitor, now she's my sister,

I don't think anyone can take this well.

No matter what,

I'm happy.

At least I have a sister

in this world.

I'm happy for you too.

Are you gonna talk to Lianxin?

Pardon? Can't hear you.

Ingenuity and Beloved

have been through a lot together.

You should also make up with Lianxin.

Still can't hear you.

Xiang Yuqiu said

Lianxin is getting along well with his mom.

They went to an art exhibition yesterday.

She also gave up on selling the house.

What's with you today?

Why do you keep telling me about Lianxin?

I know you care about her

and are too shy to ask.

I don't need your information.

I'm only doing it for you.

You kept saying the timing wasn't right.

But when's good timing？

I grew these

myself.

100% organic.

Would you like some?

Is it gonna be a lot of trouble?

Not at all.

It takes ten minutes

to cook this sweet potato

in a rice cooker.

And these soybeans

are freshly harvested.

Perfect for making soy milk.

I doubt you'd want the trouble.

You never cook.

Don't burn the kitchen down.

You must be an office lady.

You stay up late a lot

and skip breakfast a lot,

don't you?

This is convenient.

Just put them in the steamer

and you can leave to brush your teeth.

OK.

I'll have a bit of each kind.

Great.

See, I'm giving you plenty.

OK.

One more.

Your boyfriend is so lucky.

Thanks. Thanks.

I hope so.

Thank you so much.

The change.

No need.

Thank you.

No. Here.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Let me.

No.

What's wrong?

I just remembered

we have an unfinished wish.

What?

You forgot?

Our first year in Spain.

On Christmas...

I see.

Travel to Switzerland.

Thanks to you

I was so upset.

It's too late

to make amends.

Not at all.

I'll make all your wishes

come true.

It's been hectic lately.

Would be great to take a holiday.

Actually,

I went alone

the year you took off.

Sorry.

I'll never leave you alone.

OK?

It's different this time.

We'll go together.

But Ingenuity...

Are you leaving it to Tang Shi temporarily?

From now on, I'll leave it to Tang Shi.

What do you mean?

From now on,

I will only focus on the creative side.

Tang Shi will have full control

over the company.

I support you

no matter what.

Let's eat.

Xiang Yuqiu.

Are you kidding me?

You're leaving Ingenuity to me?

Li Ang's drama is over.

It's time.

We just got over the hump.

We need you the most now.

I didn't found Ingenuity

to be a place full of controversy.

A lot has happened lately

and I hate to see that.

That's why I'm taking a step back

to be a designer, not a businessman.

So you just dump everything on me?

The company needs you right now.

Not me.

Xiang Yuqiu,

how can I do this without you?

You're really irresponsible.

Do you know how far we've come?

Sorry, I've made my mind.

I know

no one could change your mind.

If you insist,

fine,

I'll do this.

What about the future?

Will you focus only on the creative side?

I plan to create a craft commune,

where all designers with similar values

can gather together

and focus on the creative work.

Not anything else.

Not the numbers.

Does Lianxin know?

Of course she does.

She's very supportive.

Oh.

We also plan on

going abroad.

It's a trip we always wanted to go on.

Actually

I've been trying to talk to Lianxin.

But I'm worried

that she won't accept me.

Not true.

She's thrilled

to have you

as her sister.

Really?

Really.

We will spend some time

abroad.

If you could make up with her

before we go,

it would be best.

What do you think?

Good.

If you like this,

I'll learn to make more.

OK.

Slow down.

Uncle Yuan.

Miss Tang.

You're visiting again?

Yes.

I happen to be free today.

With you here,

he looks so much better.

He's quiet,

but really he's very happy.

It's just that he can't say it.

Who said so?

I lost my parents from a young age.

And his children aren't around.

We keep each other company.

I'll look after him.

Don't worry.

OK.

See you then.

Bye.

Bye.

Are you cold?

Let's button up.

Your mind.

Something is on your mind.

Uncle Yuan. You two

look alike.

On your mind.

I found my sister.

We've met

a long time ago.

I just had no idea

that stubborn little girl

was my own sister.

I've been looking for her all these years.

Now she's in front of me,

I find myself too scared to face her.

What if she doesn't accept me?

Daughter. Lost.

I miss my daughter.

Uncle Yuan.

I know what you mean.

You're asking me

to seize the day.

[The Little Mermaid]

Is this

yours?

Daughter's favorite.

She likes fairy tales.

Me too.

I used to badger my dad to read me this one

and I never got sick of it.

Tell story.

Tell story.

OK, OK.

I will.

Far out in the ocean,

the water is so blue,

like the most beautiful cornflower,

and as clear

as the purest glass.

When the grand party was over,

she went back

to her splendid yet lonely dwelling.

The silver moonlight

spread from the window to the bed like silk.

[The Little Mermaid]

She thought of

the blue moonlight through the surface of the sea

when she lived under the sea.

The happy times were as peaceful

as the moonlight.

But now everything changed.

Because of love.

Shi.

What a nice day today.

Let's go to the sea.

Let's go.

What a nice day.

Having fun?

Yes.

Let's go.

We're on board.

Be careful.

Wang.

Speed up.

Listen, be careful.

Look how beautiful it is.

Dad.

I'm Shi.

My sweetheart.

What's wrong?

Chen Qi.

I found my dad.

Look, that's me.

That's my sister.

I always felt that

he looks familiar.

Turns out

he's my dad.

But he doesn't remember us.

Doesn't he?

Not me.

Not my sister.

I'm so confused.

You said you found him at a home.

Is it the one we always go to?

Not important.

The important thing is

I found my dad.

We can finally be together.

OK.

It took a while,

but you finally found him.

It's great.

You have your family back.

Cheer up.

Let's see.

You were one beautiful kid.

How annoying.

How nice.

Paisley.

Where have you been?

I went to see a friend,

just got back today.

I thought you went missing

and never coming back from Spain.

How could I leave you?

Right.

How're the companies?

Doing well?

Beloved is fine.

But many big clients

terminated their contracts

with Ingenuity.

Don't forget my order.

Paisley.

With what's going on,

I fully understand

if you want to cancel.

I'm reminding you

to deliver the products on time.

You're the best, Paisley.

Don't kiss my ass.

I demand high quality

or I'll return them.

Rest assured.

Just trust Ingenuity.

So you're the owner's wife now?

Not really.

He left Ingenuity.

He's unemployed now.

What?

She's exaggerating.

I'm just taking a step back

to focus on the creative side.

OK.

That sounds like you.

Understandable.

May I ask

where's that order of yours

going to?

An old friend of mine is moving.

So I'm sending these to her

as a gift.

Paisley.

Do you remember

that little house Xiang Yuqiu and I had back in Spain?

It was like a dumpster.

But a lot nicer after you tidied it up.

It'd always been nice.

Do you know

the cockroaches

freaked me out

every time I visited.

But you still visited many times.

I did it for you.

You remember the first time?

You got scammed.

Yeah.

So close.

Thank you, Paisley,

for helping us out.

Well...

This is how you get strong.

Thank you.

There're so many beautiful towns in Switzerland.

So romantic.

We should ok.

Sure.

We'll go wherever you want.

Let's go.

There will be a long line

for security checks.

Let's go.

Hello?

OK. I see.

What's wrong?

We're not going to Switzerland.

We should

leave them be.

What's going on?

Lianxin answered the call

and rushed down here, saying nothing.

Tang Shi found their dad.

In this home.

Over there.

Go ahead.

Lianxin.

Be prepared.

Dad has Alzheimer's.

His memory froze at the point

before the accident.

He calls everybody daughter,

because he misses us too much.

Daughter.

My daughter.

My daughter.

Dad.

Dad.

Daughter.

Dad. Dad.

I'm here.

Don't worry.

I'm back.

You're back.

Be quiet.

Your mom's asleep.

I see.

I'll keep it down.

Look

who came.

Uncle Yuan.

Uncle Yuan.

I'm here to visit.

Shuxin, you're here.

Uncle Yuan,

today's the anniversary of Luo Ting's death.

She's a nice and kind girl.

She used to volunteer

at the orphanage.

Even though I couldn't see,

but I told myself that

I wanted to be someone like her

and help people in need.

Shuxin, I'll take you home.

My name is Lianxin.

Call me Lianxin.

Not Shuxin.

Lianxin.

Uncle Yuan.

You know him?

I used to volunteer here.

He'd always called my Shuxin.

Turns out that was my name.

My family was right in front of me.

And I had no idea.

Why are you crying?

Who did this to you?

Tell me.

Dad.

Dad, it's me.

Lianxin.

I'm here.

It's me.

Dad.

Look.

How beautiful

she is now.

Are you happy?

Dad.

Shi and Shuxin

are here.

Shi.

Shuxin.

That's right.

My baby girls.

They left?

I told them to.

I want to spend some time with dad.

Lianxin, actually

I...

Sis.

I'm Lin Shi.

And you're Lin Shuxin.

I always saw myself as an orphan

and someone who's unfortunate.

But now

I have a sister

and a dad.

I'm so happy.

I don't want to lose you ever again.

I wanted to say this to you

a long time ago.

Sorry

we didn't make the trip again.

You OK?

I'm so happy right now.

I was worried all night.

Can't believe that's your father.

If I knew,

I would never go to Spain.

I'd never leave him for one second.

It's fine.

You can do this now.

But dad is in the advanced stage

of Alzheimer's.

He can still recognize us now,

but I'm afraid...

As long as you're with him,

every single day

is full of happiness.

What are you reading?

The End of Memory.

You're studying for him?

From now on,

I gotta learn to take care of him.

Well,

what do you think?

Do I get any reward?

Yes.

You're mean.

So you're in a good mood.

You're running fast.

I guess.

Want more?

Chen Qi.

Thank you

for being there for me.

Why so nice all of sudden?

I'm not used to this.

Forget it then.

♫ I'm singin' in the rain. ♫

♫ Just singin' in the rain. ♫

♫ I'm singin' in the rain, in the rain. ♫

♫ I'm singin' in the rain. ♫

What a nice day.

So nice.

Dad.

Are you cold?

Cover it up.

You look cold.

Sir,

it's time to take your meds.

Let's go inside.

Before his condition worsened,

he kept a journal.

Knowing he'd forget everything one day,

he wrote them down as much as he could.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't read it if you don't want to.

Don't force it.

No.

I want to

know how he lived

his life

without us.

My older daughter, Shi

is very perky.

She's so lovely,

always badgering me

to read her The Little Mermaid.

That's her favorite story.

Every time,

she'd ask,

Daddy,

is there really a little mermaid in the sea?

When can we see her?

My younger daughter, Shuxin,

can't talk much yet.

But every time I read a story,

she is attentive

as if she could understand.

It was

the weekend.

At naptime,

I told The Little Mermaid to Shi again.

And she loved it.

She asked,

Daddy,

When can we see the sea?

I said,

tomorrow.

We're getting on a ship tomorrow.

And you'll see the sea.

The next day,

I took my wife

and my two daughters

and boarded the ship.

It was a foggy day.

We crashed with a cargo ship

soon after we left the dock.

The ship shook so badly

that I fell into the sea immediately.

I was in a coma for months.

When I woke up,

I asked every doctor,

every nurse and every policeman.

I went to every Rescue Center.

But no one saw my two daughters.

Where are you?

Shi and Shuxin.

Let's bring him home.

Home?

It'd be easier to look after him.

And you can spend more time with him.

But

I'd hate to bother you.

Both of you are my family.

How's this trouble?

Thank you.

Don't say thank you ever again.

From now on,

we share responsibilities

as well as happiness.

We are home.

Move, move.

Let's go.

Wait.

Sir, look,

this is the handrail I put in for you.

This

was a bookshelf.

I put a hook on it

and now it's an infusion bottle rack.

Look at this.

I retrofitted

the desk

so that you can

play with building blocks

and puzzles on it. - Stop it.

What do you think?
