(Episode 7)

(Storage Area No. 3)

Thank you.

An Sheng?

He left just like that.

If I were her,

I would find someone new too.

What makes you think he is cute?

He looks pretty outgoing.

Girls are into this type of person.

Your mom has been looking forward to your return.

But the first thing you did when you came back...

was not to see her.

Do you think I don't know that?

An Xin...

isn't an outsider.

Look at her.

She's just like her mom!

I won't be surprised...

if she does anything bad!

That's enough. Stop fighting.

An Sheng just got home.

Besides,

An Xin is a member of the Gu family.

You promised Jin Wan...

to take good care of her.

Indeed,

she was too willful.

But...

I believe she has learned from her mistakes.

Yuan Chao.

Your birthday is in a few days.

Why don't we invite her home for a reunion?

I'll let you take care of it.

Don't worry.

An Sheng, help yourself.

Thank you, Mom.

Mom, I'll do it myself.

(Ms. Hong)

Hello, Ms. Hong.

An Xin.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

It's like this.

Tomorrow is your dad's birthday.

We're celebrating at Haosheng Hotel with him.

Look.

You are a part of the Gu family after all.

You can't keep wandering out there.

Why don't you take this opportunity to come home?

Ms. Hong.

The moment he kicked me out of the Gu family,

I was no longer one of you.

Are you blaming me...

for not taking good care of you?

No.

You treat me very well, Ms. Hong.

- It's just that... - An Xin.

Your mom was a good friend of mine.

I'm also responsible for what happened to you.

It's normal for you to blame me.

But...

Your dad is not as healthy as he used to be.

He has always hoped you could come back to see him often.

Besides,

An Sheng is back too.

You two are so close.

You want to see each other, don't you?

Then it's decided.

I'll ask An Sheng to pick you up tomorrow.

Get some rest tonight.

You should rest early too.

An Sheng.

Isn't there still a while until the party?

Why are you here to pick me up so early?

I'm taking you to buy a few outfits first.

Outfits?

Don't I look pretty nice?

You do,

but it could be better.

Come on.

Xin Er, let me introduce you.

This is Mr. Jiang.

Hello, Mr. Jiang.

Xin Er.

It has been so many years since we last met.

You're so pretty now.

Whose eyes fell in here?

Are they the little brat's eyes?

Stop looking.

That's the eldest son of the Gu family, right?

Who is that girl next to him?

I don't know,

but she is quite pretty.

Don't you think...

this lady looks a lot like Mr. Gu's last wife,

Ms. Jin?

They are really similar.

Is she the illegitimate daughter Ms. Jin had...

with someone else?

It wasn't just "someone else".

It was the chairman of Lingshi Group.

Everyone knows.

Ling Fang.

Are those people gossiping about us and the Gu family?

Obviously.

They're talking so loud.

I guess they're afraid other people will hear them.

Yuan Chao.

This must be An Sheng's girlfriend.

She is so pretty.

All right.

I'll leave your family to talk.

I'll look for Old Qin.

You can go ahead.

Dad.

Happy birthday.

An Xin especially picked out this gift for you.

Happy birthday.

It's good that you're here.

No need to be so formal.

Yes, An Xin.

We're a family.

You don't need to be so polite.

So is that person...

the five percent?

I wish Dad was here.

What good would that be?

Do you want him to acknowledge his daughter at someone's party?

That's crazy.

I looked everywhere for her,

but it ended up being such a piece of cake.

Luckily, that nuisance Ling Yue isn't here today either.

(Awards)

(University of Toronto Math Competition Champion)

(Gu An Sheng)

Is this Gu An Sheng some collecting machine?

Why does he need so many awards?

He has such gentle and determined eyes.

A handsome and down-to-earth genius like him...

is hard to find nowadays.

Girls love this kind of man.

When did you become a physiognomist?

It's called having a discerning mind.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Ai Li.

As a woman,

would she prefer a poker face like you...

or a young man like this...

who is bright and cheerful?

Mr. Ling is the perfect man of course.

You're her boss.

She obviously wouldn't dare to speak the truth.

You can be bold and say it.

I won't blame you.

Mr. Ling,

there is something else more important than this.

Today, Ms. An Xin was invited to Gushi Group's banquet.

This Gu An Sheng also went with her.

This Gu An Sheng...

is the child Mrs. Gu had with her ex-husband.

He has no blood relation to An Xin at all.

Do you feel a sense of crisis now?

Why are you still here?

Are you going to live at my place?

That's not a bad idea.

The beds in your house are big and wide.

Mr. Ling.

I just got the latest update.

Mr. Ling Fang will be there too.

Get ready.

Are you...

We're off to Gushi Group's banquet.

Excuse me. Do you like magic?

You are...

Magic is so interesting...

because it's full of secrets.

But once they're unveiled,

people may be disappointed.

Are you ready...

to welcome the beautiful secrets of a new world?

Why does this guy sound like he is promoting a pyramid scheme?

Could he be a con artist?

I suddenly don't want to know.

It's indeed hard to guess what women are thinking,

especially beautiful women.

Don't try to con me.

No.

You...

Do you think I'm trying to scam you?

Isn't that the CEO of New Way?

He stole quite a lot of business from Gushi Group.

Why is he here?

Exactly.

Xiao Ba.

It has been a while.

Let me officially introduce myself.

I'm Ling Yue.

Ling Yue?

Ling Yue.

Your leg got better pretty fast.

Tell me.

Is Dr. Xiao the one who is skilled...

or are you the one with great acting skills?

May I have this dance,

Ms. An Xin?

I don't think I am qualified to dance with you, Mr. Ling.

So may I have this honor?

It has been a while.

Let's dance. Come on.

Let's dance.

Come on.

Let's dance too.

Now you know I'm not scamming you, right?

How long have you known my younger brother?

We just met by chance.

Then I should somewhat remind you.

My younger brother is no angel.

Most importantly,

he won't do anything that brings no value to himself.

What do you mean?

I know you have a lot of questions.

I'll explain everything to you.

But right now, can you stay away from my brother?

I know.

You want me to stay away from your Ling family.

No, An Xin.

That's not what I meant.

Jerk.

Ling Yue.

How did you meet my older sister?

It's a long story.

If my brother deliberately gets close to you,

then you should watch out.

After all, you have five percent of our Ling family's shares.

What five percent?

Aren't you curious about the world behind the secrets?

Once you meet my dad, you'll know.

Your dad?

He is Ling Tian, the CEO of Lingshi Group.

He is also your mom, Jin Wan's old friend.

Your dad and my mom have no relationship at all.

As for the five percent of shares you mentioned,

I have no idea about it.

Don't talk nonsense.

I'm sorry.

Gu An Xin.

Do you still remember me?

An Xin.

- An Xin. - Are you okay, An Xin?

- An Xin. - Are you okay?

Hurry and call the police.

Don't call the police.

- This is my friend. - Nonsense.

Who is your friend?

I was so unlucky to have met you.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have ended up like this.

What are you doing?

An Xin.

How long are you going to keep this up?

Dad.

Mr. Gu.

Shouldn't you be defending your daughter right now?

Ling Yue.

This is my family matter.

I would appreciate it if you would keep quiet...

and stay out of it.

But if it's regarding An Xin,

I have to get involved.

Chairman.

I'm sorry to have disturbed your party.

We're leaving now.

Yu Guo.

I looked all over for you, but I couldn't find you.

Let's find a quiet place...

and I'll explain it to you, okay?

Let her go.

- An Xin. - I'll go with you.

This is my personal matter.

Don't follow me.

If you keep following me, I won't talk to you anymore.

All right. Let's stop watching.

It was just a small interlude.

Confiscate all cameras and delete all the photos.

Yu Guo.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect we would meet again like this.

I didn't just lose my hands.

I lost my entire life too.

Do you think you can make up for it with an apology?

Yu Guo.

I know.

No matter what I do now, I can't make it up to you.

But I'll do my best.

I'll make it up to you with everything I have.

Yes.

You're a high and mighty rich heiress now.

What is there you can't do?

What is there that you can't fix?

Stop.

Zoom in on this scene.

They disappeared after that.

I'll do whatever you want.

Sure.

I want your hands right now.

Use your hands to make it up to me.

What areas in the hotel don't have security cameras?

Places like the dressing rooms and restrooms have no cameras.

Let's hurry and search them, one by one.

An Xin.

An Xin.

Gu An Xin.

Go away.

An Xin.

An Xin.

Send her to the hospital.

When did this brat become so sleazy?

An Xin.

Thank you, Mr. Ling.

Please return my sister to me.

It's okay.

What did you say?

Even if you're An Xin's friend,

I don't think it's appropriate for you...

to openly take my sister away...

from our Gu family's banquet.

She is mine.

What is that nonsense you're saying?

I said,

"She is mine."

Everyone, let's talk it out nicely.

Mr. Gu,

Mr. Ling's relationship with Ms. An Xin...

is a lot closer than you think.

What can one photo prove?

This rowdy behavior is a disgrace.

Let them leave.

And you...

You left all those guests behind just for a stupid matter like this.

Dad, how is this a stupid matter?

- An Xin is already... - An Sheng!

Come back with me.

Goodbye, Xin Er.

Ling Fang.

Why are you holding onto your stomach?

I'm fine. I ate something bad.

Where is Ling Yue?

He left.

Let's go home.

Are you okay?

Is your stomach okay?

I'm fine.

Go back to the countryside and stay there for a while.

I'll go and find you.

Gu An Xin.

We'll meet again.

Didn't you say she was fine?

Why hasn't she woken up yet?

She hasn't woken up yet...

not only because of her external injury,

but it's also because...

her heart has been constantly suffering too much burden,

causing a weakened cardiac pump.

As for who the culprit is,

I think it's self-explanatory.

Here.

Do you feel sick anywhere?

It's none of your business.

Where is Yu Guo?

She...

Yu Guo ran away.

Don't worry.

I won't let her off.

If you do anything to her,

I won't forgive you.

You're too softhearted.

She did this to you, yet you're still taking her side.

I'm indeed too softhearted.

If I wasn't so softhearted when I first met you,

I wouldn't have gotten fooled.

It's my fault.

It doesn't matter.

Let go.

Go out first.

Me?

Close the door.

Okay.

Let's talk.

What is it?

Are we talking about...

how much money you'll give me to sever ties with you?

That's not what I meant.

Then there's nothing to talk about.

Let go.

Then...

Then what if you run away when I let go?

I won't run. Let go.

Then promise me. Don't run away.

I promise you. I'm not running away.

No.

You must be lying.

If you don't let go,

I'll bite my tongue and kill myself.

I'm going to bite it now.

Don't do anything reckless.

What era are we in?

Who would bite their tongue and kill themselves?

Can you give me a minute?

(Timer)

Talk.

I'm sorry.

I came late.

There's actually no need to come back after leaving.

I left...

because something urgent came up at home.

I had to go.

Did you have to go to a hotel for your urgent matter?

A hotel?

- How did you... - How did I know?

There are already too many things I don't know.

When did you recover from your amnesia?

Did you lie about your leg injury too?

No.

You lied to me from the start...

for that five percent of shares.

Mr. Ling, all that acting must have been tough.

Ai Li is just my subordinate.

I was wrong for not telling you about a lot of things right away.

I was also a jerk for pretending to be hurt even after recovering.

But all this time, my feelings for you were real.

(Timer)

Dad.

No matter where you are now,

come home right away.

An Xin.

Wait for me.

I'll be back really soon.

Okay.

I'm a man of my word.

Let's seal the promise.

You're so childish.

You taught me this.

Don't play dumb.

What are you doing with my shoes?

I'm putting them away.

What if you run away?

Ling Yue.

Do you know a girl called Gu An Xin?

Yes.

I like her.

You like her?

So you're saying...

you actually knew where she was a long time ago,

but you didn't tell me. Is that so?

Was it because of her five-percent share?

Ling Yue.

That wasn't right of you.

How could you play with An Xin's feelings...

just for some shares?

Also, what if An Xin was really our dad's daughter?

You would've made a big mistake.

I truly like An Xin.

Also,

she is not our dad's daughter.

This is An Xin's DNA test.

It says that she is not your daughter.

If An Xin isn't a part of our family,

then why did Dad give her some shares?

That's right.

It's true that An Xin isn't my daughter.

Since all of you are here today,

I'll just tell you everything...

all at once.

I gave her some shares...

because of her mom, Jin Wan.

To me,

Jin Wan is someone I must be grateful to forever.

I remember when my business failed back then,

if it weren't for Jin Wan's help,

today's Lingshi Group would not exist today.

So in my eyes, Jin Wan is...

both my friend...

and my benefactor.

The five percent of shares...

was a promise I made to Jin Wan back then.

Although she is not here anymore,

I won't take back the words I said.

Although An Xin is not related to me,

Jin Wan's daughter is my daughter too.

So remember this.

Don't even think about...

getting involved with An Xin.

Ling Yue.

Did your leg just recover?

Take it easy when you're walking.

Don't worry about it, Ling Fang.

Have a safe trip.

Ling Fang.

Why are being so mean?

I'm not.

Ling Fang.

Dad just said...

you guys aren't allowed to touch Gu An Xin.

Are you planning something again?

That's what he said,

but wouldn't it be great for her...

to be both his daughter and his daughter-in-law?

But I don't think you can beat Ling Yue.

Hey, whose side are you on?

My sister is in this room, right?

No.

Don't put me in a difficult position.

An Xin.

An Xin, I'm here to get you.

An Xin.

An Xin!

- An Sheng. - Get up here.

Why are you here?

Hurry and come up!

I can't get up.

I can go down. It's not that high anyway.

Wait for me. I'll be right there. Pull the rope.

I almost had a heart attack.

When did you become so bold?

Go back and tell Ling Yue...

I'll pay back all the medical bills and the money I owe him.

An Sheng, let's go.

Look at you.

Come on.

I'll pay the hospital fees, okay?

Can you stay?

Ling Yue will resent me.

I'm sorry.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Mr. Ling.

I'm sorry, buddy.

I was incompetent and couldn't win against...

your smart little beautiful wife.

Even though I risked my life and stopped her again and again,

she still ran off with Gu An Sheng.

For redemption,

I have decided to self-reflect in seclusion for one week.

Don't look for me.

Let's go to Yangmei Alley.

(Unit 208)

Mr. Ling, you should knock.

Where is An Xin?

Where did you hide her?

Aren't you the one...

who is good at hiding?

Mr. Gu.

There is something we want to talk to Ms. An Xin about.

Then wait for me here.

I'll go and get her.

What is the meaning of this?

A man can't just randomly barge into a girl's room.

I am Gu An Xin's older brother.

Who are you?

I am her destiny.

I've already slept over many times.

Watch what you say.

You are both men.

It's inconvenient for either of you to go in.

Let's wait for Ms. An Xin.

As a son of the respectable Lingshi Group,

it's not very appropriate for you to be so shameless...

at someone else's house, right?

I was given the right...

to use this sofa a long time ago.

That cup is mine.

What a coincidence.

That cup is An Xin's.

An Sheng.

Mr. Ling said he wanted to see you.

I already said everything I need to say to him.

There is nothing more for us to talk about.

I just wanted to come and see you.

You've seen me now.

You can go.

Let's go.

I happen to be hungry too. Let's go together.

We're going to a cheap and filthy restaurant.

Do you want to go too?

- Cheap and filthy? - Yes.

There are a ton of bacteria,

dust, and flies flying around.

While you're eating,

something might even fall from the ceiling.

Do you still want to eat there?

I like flies.

We don't like them.

Right now,

I think you're just like a fly that's buzzing around me every day.

You can go and eat.

I'm not eating anymore.

I won't go.

Don't starve yourself.

Ms. An Xin.

Mr. Ling means well.

Let's go.

I won't see you out.

If you don't want to go out,

then let's not.

I'll make some food for you at home.

What do you want to eat?

An Sheng.

Why aren't you asking me?

What is it about?

About everything that has happened recently,

my relationship with Ling Yue,

and why I'm treating him like this now.

If you don't want to tell me,

I don't want to force you.

Also, no matter what happened between you two,

it's all his fault, right?

An Sheng.

Did he mistreat you?

If he bullied you, tell me.

I'll go and teach him a lesson right now.

Ever since we were kids,

you have always taken my side no matter what.

I remember once,

I got into a fight with a classmate.

I was the one who hit him,

but you went to his house and dragged him out.

You wouldn't let him go until he apologized to me.

Ms. Hong even punished you...

to write self-reflection essays for a week because of this.

How do you have the face to mention this?

I wonder who told me...

to go and make photocopies instead?

That's because you don't know how to lie.

Once you got exposed, you chickened out.

Yes.

No one else is as smart as you.

I'll cook for you.

It's okay.

You put a lot of good food in my fridge again, didn't you?

You should go home early.

It's his birthday today.

Why can't Dad see your qualities?

After leaving the Gu family,

I've been supporting myself with my own hands.

I'm so happy.

Okay.

It's good as long as you're happy.

If you get tired, come and find me.

I'll always be here.

Okay.

I'll get going then.

(Yu Guo)

That girl named Yu Guo...

has disappeared ever since the banquet.

We've been looking for her.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Due to some personal reasons,

"Accidentally Picked Up a Prince" will be taking a break.

I look forward to seeing everyone again.

(Xi Bei Wang Chang An, Notice from the author)

(Xi Bei Wang Chang An, Notice of Xiao An's break)

Xiao Wang?

Why are you here?

An Xin, it really is you. This is your express delivery.

My express delivery?

It's an urgent order. It's still warm.

Eat it while it's hot.

Thank you.

If there is nothing else, I'll get going.

- Be safe. - Okay.

My express delivery?

From now on, I'll cook for you every day.

Gu An Xin, grow a spine!

How can you be bought off so easily? Where are your morals?

Right.

I remember I still have some instant noodles.

An Sheng.

Can't you just experience the joy of junk food?

It smells so good.

Aren't you self-reflecting in seclusion?

Why are you back so soon?

It's okay as long as I'm doing it internally.

Did you make this?

You're quite the cook.

When will you cook for me someday?

It wasn't me.

It wasn't you?

Who else could it be?

Did you make it for An Xin?

We've known each other for so long,

but you've never cooked for me.

Yet for a girl you've only known for a few months, you...

You treat girls way better than your friends.

Mr. Ling.

Since Ms. An Xin is still mad at you,

do you think she will eat your food?

Is she still mad at you?

No matter how mad she is with me,

she won't refuse food.
