Original subtitles

Ling Yizhou.

What do you mean by this?

You can come at me.

But if you touch my fiancée,

do you think I'll just sit around and do nothing?

-I'm not drunk. -I know.

-I'm good at drinking. Let go. -I know you are.

Careful.

I'm not drunk.

Let's sit over there.

-Let go of me. -Sit down.

Let go...

Well, Ling Yizhou.

Not only did you come uninvited,

you're actually making yourself at home.

Mumu, I already tidied everything up.

Do you want to check?

No, just do as you please.

I'm not one to just do as I please.

Right, you aren't.

I'll go get a drink.

Mumu?

I want one too.

Not only is he making himself at home,

but he's also ordering me around like a servant.

Are you kidding me?

I'm supposed to make you a drink?

In your dreams.

I'm so pissed off.

Mumu, this is my first day living here.

This is the first cup of drink you made for me.

You're mistaken. This is mine.

Can I have a sip?

This is for women. Why would you want it?

You can't fool me.

I know what it is.

I can drink it too.

I already drank from this cup. You still want it?

Yes, that's exactly why I want it.

I want to know more about you.

-I want to try the same things as you. -You want to know more?

You must be kidding.

Do you want it? Here you go!

Gosh! I'm so sorry.

Did you get scalded? Take off your shirt!

I'm sorry.

Take it off now!

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

Your skin has turned red. I'm so sorry!

It was an accident.

I'm sorry.

You big pervert! Put on your shirt!

You told me to take it off.

You just do as you're told?

How could I not when you ask me to?

So why don't you go home?

I've tolerated you for three hours.

You made yourself at home and even treated me like a servant.

So what if I dirtied your shirt?

I can afford to buy you a new one!

Also, I'll have your things thrown out of my house tomorrow

and you're leaving!

Leave!

Ling Yizhou. Where did you go?

Taking a shower.

Damn it!

ANIMAL WORLD

Chairman Ling Yizhou of Lingshi Group and female celebrity, Xia Lin

were seen making out in a dressing room.

Fans gave them the nickname "Muzhou" and are soaking up these sweet moments.

No way.

If this keeps up,

something that can't be undone really will happen.

-Ling Yizhou, you should leave. -I can't.

There are people outside.

Who?

When I arrived, I noticed the paparazzi camping outside.

If you kick me out so late at night,

I guarantee the headlines tomorrow will be,

"Muzhou has done the deed."

What about Wen Li?

You can tell him to get rid of them.

Mumu.

Wen Li is also human.

He needs sleep.

He needs time to pursue love.

Pursue love?

That's right.

Mumu.

Look.

Wen Li is in pursuit of true happiness.

Shouldn't we also...

Fine.

You win.

I'll give up my room.

I'll sleep in the guest room.

Mumu?

Good night.

What are you doing here?

-I-- -Get out!

-Come out! -Wait, Mumu.

Who let you in? Get out!

Wait.

Get out.

Mumu.

Ling Yizhou, what is this?

That's my toothbrush.

You used my cleanser.

I was about to tell you, but you wouldn't let me finish.

Fine, but shame on you.

Ling Yizhou, what happened to my skincare products?

-Why are they all gone? -They're in the cabinet below.

Listen. I use these every day.

Don't move them!

Got it.

I've had it with him.

Mumu, can you hurry it up?

I need to shower.

I haven't washed my face yet.

Gosh.

He's making me lose my mind.

Ling Yizhou, you just wait.

Mumu.

Can I ask you a question?

I can't hear you.

What's the passcode to your apartment?

-Six figures. -Which six?

Pay me and I'll tell you.

It's 180716.

How did you know?

In 2018,

you starred in several works directed by Wu Qiang

and won the Best Newcomer Award.

That was the first award that gained you the most recognition since your debut.

As for 0716,

that's the date you received the award.

I will never forget

the acceptance speech you gave

as you stood on stage with the award.

You shone so brightly.

Everybody else paled in comparison.

That was an award of little importance.

How did you know about it?

Wait a minute.

How long have you known about me?

Mumu.

Talking while eating can disrupt digestion.

Don't talk.

I'm done. I'm heading out.

I'll just take some Baiyinian when I'm hungry.

ADOLPH

Should we get this?

Let's go.

Isn't that Ling Yizhou?

What is he doing here?

I think Xia Lin lives around here.

Wasn't their relationship exposed?

Are they living together?

Hurry. Take a picture and post it online.

Okay.

Excuse me, is this...

Sorry.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Why won't you give up?

Because I...

Let's go again.

Sorry.

Five, four, three, two!

Why won't you give up?

Because I love her.

So what if she's with Mo Ran?

I've liked her for so many years.

I've seen her happy, sad, and heartbroken.

I was the one at her side

the first time she received exam results

and the first time she got an interview.

But everything changed after that jerk showed up!

Why?

Why him?

Chu Yan, take a break.

Let's all take five.

Your rest area is over there.

Chu Yan, your family called several times.

I didn't think I should answer.

Hello?

What does the old man want?

Chu Yan, Mr. Chu is fine.

He just misses you.

Who would miss him?

He still sounds robust.

He seems fine.

I'm going to hang up. I'm working.

Wait, Chu Yan.

Come and visit if you have time this week.

Have dinner with Mr. Chu.

Okay, I'll check my schedule.

LING YIZHOU MOVES IN WITH XIA LIN, BECOMES HOMEMAKER FOR LOVE

LING YIZHOU SEEN IN GOOD SPIRITS OUTSIDE XIA LIN'S HOME

THOUGHTFUL PURCHASES FOR XIA LIN

FANS GUESSING THEY'VE MOVED IN TOGETHER

LING YIZHOU BECOMES HOMEMAKER FOR XIA LIN, BEST DISPLAY OF LOVE

Chu Yan.

Your family's housekeeper called and said your dad had a heart attack

and was sent to the hospital.

Tell the director I need to go.

Sir, how is he?

There you are, Chu Yan.

Mr. Chu is resting.

Sir, this is Mr. Chu's son.

You can speak in front of him.

All right.

The patient had a heart attack caused by overwork.

His situation has improved after emergency treatment,

but he will need to be hospitalized to monitor his condition.

He must refrain from overexerting himself during this time.

He needs proper rest.

Okay. Thank you, doctor.

Not at all.

Chu Yan.

The company suffered severe losses lately

and Mr. Chu has been working late every day.

He hasn't had a good night's rest.

The last time I called you,

he was sick.

But he recovered after taking medication.

He wouldn't let me tell you.

He said he has to weather the storm no matter how difficult it'll be.

He doesn't want his life's work to go down the drain.

This isn't the first time.

He's being absurd.

Does he think he's still young?

Life's work?

Isn't there anything else that could be more important?

Chu Yan,

the only thing more important to him

is you.

He is keeping the company afloat for your sake.

If you no longer want to act in the future,

you don't have to worry about anything

and live a comfortable life.

Spend some time with Mr. Chu.

I'm going to ask the doctor

if there's anything we need to pay attention to.

You're really

an old man now.

My health is fine.

It's an old people problem.

You had to be resuscitated.

Can you stop worrying about the company?

It's my life's work.

It's not that easy to just let go.

Your company is too traditional and outdated.

I'm making good money from acting.

I can support you when you're old.

I have money. I don't need yours.

I think...

I've said the same thing to you before.

You brat.

Come back.

I'm old now.

I know you only became an actor

to make a statement.

You can't avoid reality forever.

I'm no longer as healthy as I once was.

The company will gradually be downsizing.

I don't care about maximizing profits.

I just hope it can survive.

Go do what you want to do.

I'm glad

I was able to do what I wanted in life.

Even though I might end up losing everything.

At least,

I've tried and succeeded.

You're my son.

Don't disappoint me

by aimlessly wandering through life.

Xia Lin should act in more dramas with this genre.

-I understand, sir. -Got it?

-Promote your artists. -Okay.

-Okay? -Okay.

Here are the clothes. Good job today.

Of course. You too.

By the way, what brand is the tie that the male lead wore today?

It looked nice.

Are you noticing these details now that you two are living together?

I'll send the store's address to you later and you can browse directly.

-Okay. Thank you. -I'm taking off now.

-Don't forget your bag. -Thank you.

Ms. Jiang.

What's this about?

LING YIZHOU MOVES IN WITH XIA LIN, BECOMES HOMEMAKER FOR LOVE

It happened quite unexpectedly.

Wait a minute.

Ms. Xia, Boss is drunk.

-Could you please come by? -I...

Ms. Jiang, I have to take care of something urgent.

Help me fix that.

I'll explain it next time.

-You... -Bye!

Where are you going?

I just have to leave!

Where is he?

Mr. Wen, I'm here.

Where are you? Why can't I see you?

Boss, are you okay?

What happened? Why is he so drunk?

The company's crisis was handled successfully.

-He was in a happy mood and overindulged. -Look!

It's a building!

-Yes, it's a building. -Yes, you're right.

Leave him to me. Don't worry about him.

-That's light! -You should head home.

I'll take Mr. Cheng home.

-Go on. -Be careful.

Watch out.

-An airplane. -All right. Are you okay?

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Hey! Be careful.

Why did you drink so much?

Hey, be careful.

Slowly.

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

All right.

Aren't we going home?

Yes, we're going home now.

What's wrong?

Where's the steering wheel?

Have you seen my steering wheel?

Where's your steering wheel?

I need to drive home.

I need the steering wheel to do that.

-Where's my steering wheel? -The wheel is right in front of you.

Just reach out.

Do you see it? It's right in front of you.

-Yes, right there. -Here it is.

Hold it and you can drive.

I know how to drive.

I'll be going now.

Drive safely.

Why are you outside my house?

Well, I...

Never mind. It's okay.

Get in.

I'll drive you home.

Okay, I'm coming.

Right.

I'll help you with that.

Okay.

Don't move.

Why did you drink so much?

Ling Yizhou, we're home.

Come on.

Let's go.

Why did you have to drink so much?

Careful.

Slow down.

So it's true.

Careful.

Watch out.

Gosh, I'm exhausted.

You're heavier than you look.

Feeling nauseous?

Serves you right.

Jeez,

you drank so much.

You brought this upon yourself.

Turn over.

You're so heavy.

This side now.

This is tiring.

What are you doing?

What, Mumu?

I'm warning you.

Since you're drunk,

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

I might take advantage of you.

That got your attention?

Are you sober now?

No.

Ling Yizhou, you're drunk.

I'll get a towel for you so you can cool down.

Xia Lin.

You're the one to talk.

You're the one who needs to calm down! What are you doing?

Aren't you two engaged?

What's done is done.

It's past the point of no return.

But, I...

But it's a fake engagement.

Aren't those just excuses?

Ling Yizhou?

Ling Yizhou?

Good night.

Boss, Mr. Chu had a sudden heart attack last night

and was hospitalized.

He is stable now but needs to rest.

OUTPATIENT

Mr. Chu, how are you feeling?

Old man, I brought food for you.

Yizhou?

Why are you here?

I came to see how your dad is doing.

I'm glad he's fine.

You should get going.

You came so early.

I'm sure you're needed at your company.

Go back to work.

Mr. Chu, I'll be leaving now then.

I'll give my grandma an update later.

Don't alarm her.

-Tell her not to worry. -Okay.

-I'll visit her after I'm discharged. -Okay.

-Good. -Take care.

Goodbye.

I'll see him out.

I heard about your dad's company.

Is there anything I can help with?

No.

I've decided to return to the company.

Are you going to quit acting?

I plan on retiring after wrapping up my current drama.

You're giving up already?

That's not like you.

I'm not giving up.

I just came to the realization

that I want to be there for my loved ones

when they are sick or dying.

Hey.

Don't try to comfort me.

My dad and I have been at odds for years.

It suddenly feels pointless.

And lately,

I realized I don't like acting very much.

I'm going to try a different career.

I thought you loved acting.

It's all right.

Do you remember that when we met,

I was really into photography?

I wanted to be a professional photographer.

I somehow became an actor and discovered I had some talent.

So I continued down that path.

If that's the case,

have you considered integrating acting and photography

into your company's operations?

Are you kidding me?

You already have an idea?

I mean...

Take over the company first and get a lay of the land.

See if there's any overlap.

Don't hesitate to ask for help.

All right, I'll give it a try.

We're not out of options yet.

Besides, my dad said

no matter how bad it gets,

we still won't be homeless.

Right.

I saw you and Xia Lin yesterday

outside her place.

Ling Yizhou.

Xia Lin is a good girl.

She has been giving her best ever since she entered the industry.

I never confessed my feelings to her.

That's because I didn't know

whether my feelings for her

were as a friend, a lover,

or a colleague.

Either way, all this time,

I've been quietly watching over her as a friend.

She's not a flower that needs to be sheltered.

Still, I have to thank you.

Thank you for being at her side as a friend.

Don't be so smug.

I'm warning you.

If you don't treat her well,

-I will-- -You'll what?

I won't give you a snowball's chance in hell.

Don't think about getting between us.

While we're acting,

she and I could still be a couple.

-Really? -Pidan could be our child.

Mumu, I need to go out for a bit.

Let's have dinner together.

Thanks for your help last night.

Ling Yizhou.

Having fun living together?

It happened out of the blue.

I'm totally devastated.

Are you free today?

Come out and I'll take your mind off it.

Yes, ma'am!

I have something to ask you anyway.

JIA FEI

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE WORKED UP A SWEAT.

I'M STILL KILLING IT!

I'm leaving work soon. Where are you?

Should I pick you up?

LINGSHI GROUP

No need. I'm out with Linlin.

Queenie, make the changes that I just mentioned.

Okay, Mr. Ling.

Boss!

You can go now.

LINGSHI GROUP

The boss said you can go now.

Wen Li.

Grab a few things from my house and take them to Mumu's.

Okay.

Why aren't you going?

I'll go.

Is something the matter?

Ms. Xia and Jia Fei

might not be home.

-I'm going. -Where are you going?

To the gym!

Did Wen Li tell you?

I learned from the general public.

So what do you think?

It's already clear that Mr. Ling likes you.

But...

-Enough buts. -But...

See for yourself.

Look at that silly grin on his face.

It's confirmed that he likes you.

What matters now is what you think.

I...

I don't know.

Xia Lin, look.

Based on my experience as a screenwriter,

there's no running away for you.

What?

You can't escape from Mr. Ling's clutches.

For my script, I've recently been studying

relationships in which the woman is older than the man.

My male lead is a testosterone-fueled hunk who is clingy like a puppy.

This is the perfect opportunity...

to do some research.

Why do I get the feeling

research

is just an excuse?

Don't tell me those two are going to...

Ling Yizhou, what are you doing here?

Why can't I be here?

I mean, how did you know I'm here?

Wen Li said that

he's worried about Ms. Jia's safety.

I came along to take you home.

Yes, I was worried that

Ms. Jia and Ms. Xia would encounter danger going home at night.

Why are men nowadays so narrow-minded?

You don't even have a basic level of trust!

Who would want to be my personal trainer from now on?

I'll be the only trainer for Mumu!

-Why do you get to dictate that? -Because you're my wife!

I don't care.

You guys chased away the trainers

and we don't have any hunks to ogle anymore.

You guys need to make up for that.

Did you come for the eye candy?

Yes, I like gazing at sweaty studs bursting with testosterone.

It'll even spark inspiration for a character in my new script

which is especially steamy.

-Right, Linlin? -Yes!

Look at what you two have done.

How can we show our faces here again?

-I'll come with you! -How will you make it up to us?

Wen Li.

-Arrange it. -Okay.

-That was fast. -Boss.

It's okay for men to be fast sometimes.

Go!

-Pass the car in front of us. -Okay!

GANGDONG MUNICIPAL CIVIL AFFAIRS BUREAU

MARRIAGE REGISTRATION OFFICE

Here.

This is it.

Mumu, why are we here?

We have to end the engagement contract before we can get married.

Since the engagement was your scheme, then I'll help you succeed.

As far as I'm concerned, marriage is a gamble.

Dare to take a chance?

Yes.

So long as you're not what's at stake,

I'll bet anything.
