If a couple’s notion of Heaven,

Is like a heart-warming barrier

Imprisoning your dreams,

Is happiness akin to a metal-barred window?

The bird has lost its internal compass for the south.

If you aspire to travel into the sky,

And long for a pair of wings

Releasing you to soar up high,

Roses should not accompany your feathered wings.

Obeying ageing properties of time,

If romance has morphed into a leash,

I’m willing to choose to return to a life of solitude for your sake.

If lingering touches have morphed into chains,

It is time to discard the vows.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

For your sake, I must lose you.

Cruelly putting on an act to hurt you.

Leaving you for your sake.

Leaving without ever letting go

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Let love end the dreams of a life-long romance.

If my departure lets you gain everything,

Let true love steer me away, and initiate break-up.

Love in the forlorn city

Episode 5

Mr. Yang.

Hey, you feeling better?

I'm fine.

You seem to be still burning up.

You should go see a doctor first.

No need, I still didn't finish the project.

There's a client coming,

and I still need to present it to them.

I know enough about this project.

I'll present it for you.

But I didn't finish all my work.

How can I just leave and let someone else finish it.

Then let's do this.

The client is coming at 10:30.

You still have 1 more hour.

You should use this time to see a doctor.

Eat something, and let your fever pass.

Then come back and work.

I don't want the client to see you like this.

It'll be bad if they think I treat my workers so badly.

I understand.

I'll be late, OK?

Driver.

Don't bring me to doctor, can you just go back

to where you picked me up from.

- OK. - Thank you.

Please this way.

Why are you so late?

When I was coming, there was traffic.

Sorry, you can begin now.

Ok, we'll start now.

This time we created a theme of snow flakes and fireworks.

Love is as ageless as snow and ice.

And extravagantly beautiful like fireworks.

In order to incorporate this theme...

on that day we will place a giant ice sculpture there.

The result of the fireworks is an artistic display.

We bought some special fireworks from Australia.

We will create a heart shaped fireworks display.

I think it's pretty good. What do you think?

Excuse me.

Hello?

OK, I understand.

Something came up at work, I have to leave.

What's more important than our engagement plans?

What are we going to do if you aren't here?

It's OK. The idea is pretty good.

Let's do it.

Then I am going to put down a deposit.

OK.

Then I am going to leave.

I'm leaving first.

Oh, please cancel the part with the fireworks.

Why?

No reason.

I just don't like fireworks.

Miss Wang, you think this theme...

Oh, I feel it's pretty good. Let's just confirm it.

But I just heard from Mr. Yan... he wants to cancel the fireworks part.

I said it was okay, so we'll just leave it at that.

Okay.

We'll see each other again on the day of the ceremony.

- Okay. - Thank you.

You must elaborate on all the small details.

That way the client will understand.

Do you understand?

Mr. Yang, where's the client?

What did you come back for?

I'm fine. Did they leave?

They just left.

They just left?

So what did they think about it?

It's okay. Right now, what's more important is you need to relax.

I can go to the rehearsal in several days.

There no need. Don't worry, I'm fine.

It's just a little bit of a cough.

I'm fine.

Yan Fei?

You're here?

What a coincidence.

Is he your friend?

Yes, he is my friend.

You guys go first. Don't need to wait for me.

I'll catch up with you guys later.

Okay. Bye bye...

How are you?

What have you been busy with lately?

Nothing in particular.

And you don't call that busy?

You will inherit your family's business anytime now...

You're in much better than a position than a worker like me.

Didn't you take over your family's small noodle shop?

That's right..

In the past, I didn't feel safe if I don't find a job.

Now, when I think about it, it's pretty good.

When I work at my own shop,

I can sleep and wake up anytime I want,

counting money until my fingers get cramp,

but it's just counting chop change.

Now, talking about it, we are the same,

relying on the family.

Okay I can't talk to you anymore.

They are waiting for me. I'm leaving.

Bye bye.

Wait.

What's wrong?

Are you still in touch with Yu Ching?

You finally ask the main question.

Of course we still communicate.

Is she still good?

You are about to get marry. Why are you still looking for her?

I wasn't planning on looking for her.

I just want to know how she's doing.

Pretty good.

But... I still think you shouldn't bother her.

I understand.

How should I describe you?

I can't tell if you're crazy in love or cold-hearted.

People aren't sure whether they love or hate you.

Okay. I'm leaving. Bye bye.

This is my number. Call me.

You must call.

Bye bye.

Don't drink any more, Su Bing.

Stop drinking, Su Bing sis.

If I didn't go to your house, then nothing would have happened.

That's not your fault.

As a matter of fact, I should thank you.

A man married for no more than a month

that is already thinking of another woman.

Means he's not happy with his life.

If that is the case,

then we shouldn't continue on like this.

But didn't you say he treated you well?

That's correct.

He has treated me well all along,

which is the reason why I have waited this long to divorce him.

These days women don't need men to support them..

Being single is great. There's so much freedom.

I was so dumb in the past,

thinking all I needed to do was find some guy to marry.

Now I finally understand.

I'm still young,

I can still find someone I love that loves me back.

See, right now I'm doing fine

care free and light weighted.

Okay... so stop blaming yourself.

Lets sing karaoke.

Not today. My throat hurts.

Lately in our company, we accepted a big project

and there's not enough workers.

After I get home, I still have work to do.

Okay, let me bring you home.

We will go together.

- Okay. Let's go. - Let's go.

Miss, may I ask how many seats?

I left my purse here.

Oh, follow me please.

Its just at this bar table.

Thank you.

Bye bye.

Are you okay.

Just a minute.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is it?

Most of the time it's a wrong phone call.

Okay. I'll bring you home.

No, I'll bring you home.

Let's go.

The things you want are all here, please check it.

Okay.Thanks.

Mr. Yang.

Are these the fireworks for the wedding ceremony?

Yes.

Did you prepare everything yet?

There shouldn't be any problems.

Will you be alright? Are you all better?

I'm feeling better. Thank you.

You don't need to be so polite.

Do you think that I'm kind-hearted?

I'm just afraid that you got sick and can't do any work.

Are you free this evening?

You mean tonight?

I have an dinner appointment with a client tonight

and I want you to come with me.

You want me to go with you?

This is a really important client.

I want to introduce my company's top wedding planner.

That's so exaggerated.

I still have work to do, so I will have to decline.

Don't give yourself so much pressure.

You should relax tonight.

Then it's settled.

There's something I want to let you know.

I really like your idea this time.

See you tonight.

Hey, you came.

Sit down.

Sorry Mr Yang for making you wait so long.

That's alright.

The client still hasn't arrive?

Oh, they said something came up, so they can't make it.

Its only us two tonight.

Its only us two eating?!

Why don't we eat at another place?

It's okay.

Just think of it as my treat to the company's best employee.

If you are eating with a client...

how come no one else from the company came?

I can't trick you.

Okay then... I'll tell you the truth.

I wanted to ask you out to eat today.

It's because earlier I asked you out to eat...

and you declined, so I resorted to this method.

You won't get angry at me, right?

Of course I won't.

Actually... before... I didn't intended to reject you.

It's just that... I didn't want to...

let the company's coworker mistaken me.

Why would they mistaken you?

Although I am their boss,

I'm not married and I don't have a girlfriend.

I just want to go out on a date with you normally.

I don't think there's anything to mistaken about that.

Yu Qing, after getting to know you more these days...

I think that you have a lot of good points.

You are worth for me pursuing.

You are really pretty and really smart.

Work wise, you are focused and diligent.

Personality wise, you are bubbly.

I have a good impression of you.

For me,

in these few years business has been going well,

but my love life...

I am a really stubborn person.

I have always hoped

to find a girl that can also help me with my business.

After knowing you for this period of time,

I feel you are the one I'm looking for.

Mr. Yang. I don't want to reject you.

No. I do want to reject...

I don't know what I'm trying to say.

I meant

I still don't know you that well

so I don't want to...

accept you just like that.

Frankly, I think

I am afraid this would affect our working relationship.

I never thought you would accept me.

I just wanted to tell you how I felt,

so you wouldn't avoid me on purpose.

We can be like friends.

We can have dinner or watch a movie.

I hope you can give me a chance

and yourself an opportunity to get to know me.

Of course, after we get to know each other better

and you discover that I am not the type of guy you love,

then you can definitely reject me.

Even though I'm your boss

I can guarantee

I will not let personal feels affect our work.

Don't put it so far away or too close together.

You put it upside down. Make it right side up.

Put the flowers in the front. A little more over.

- Okay. I will. - Follow it closely for me.

Yes, it's ready.

Then that's good. Just put it here.

Then you can prepare this stuff. Okay?

Go.

How's it going?

Are the preparations almost complete?

Almost.

Looks pretty good.

You don't look so good.

Did you not sleep well?

You have a pair of panda eyes.

Really?

I might have been a little nervous.

It's normal to be nervous doing a project this big for the first time.

But you don't have to be too worry.

Today is just the rehearsal.

We just need to see what still needs work.

Oh yeah, I have some good news to tell you.

I have already talked to the American side.

I plan to send a wedding planner over there.

They have more experience in this area, so it might be good

to learn from them.

So I have decided to send you.

Me?

Living expenses are covered by the company.

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

What's the matter?

You don't want to go?

That's not it.

You don't seem excited at all.

Really?

That's alright.

If you have any problems or hardships,

just let me know and I'll help you.

- Work hard - Yes.

The decorations are done pretty well.

Over there.

Do you see it?

Did you plug in the power?

- Already done. - You already checked it?

Hello? Hello?

We can speak (into the mic)?

Later, put two more under that speaker.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

And then...

Just a minute.

Is it ready?

Later put a couple more under that speaker.

We need better sound quality since we're outside.

You need to prepare a couple more mics.

Alright? Okay, you can go back to work.

Why are you here?

I'm working here.

I didn't know it was your engagement.

I didn't think you were planning this.

Yan Fei.

Why are you here?

Excuse me.

Yan Fei.

Mom and dad is looking for you. Hurry over.

Yan Fei...

Yu Qing...

Listen to me.

Yu Qing. Listen to me.

Let go of me.

Listen to me.

After I broke up with you

I've been missing you.

I don't want to deal with the family business.

I also don't want to have responsibility for them.

Let's start over again.

Alright?

I just want to know

if I am I still in your heart?

No.

I don't agree.

What are you disagreeing with?

Our engagement or this location for the engagement ceremony?

I disagree with working with this wedding coordination company.

The engagement ceremony is in just a couple of days.

Is there enough time to change companies?

He just doesn't want see Zhou Yu Qing.

I can see your heart is still with her.

Mi Mi, today's situation was Yan Fei's fault.

He's still young. He can make mistakes.

For me, please forgive him. Okay?

Auntie, look at his expression.

I don't have the confidence to marry him.

How about we change the wedding planner?

No.

I must get engage to him in front of Zhou Yu Qing.

So that they can both give up on each other.

Do you have to be so ridiculous?

I'm ridiculous?

You left me in front of everyone to chase her today.

Don't you think you went far (overboard)?

Alright. Just listen to Mi Mi.

Mi Mi don't be mad anymore.

Don't make yourself angry. He'll listen to you.

Mr. Yang.

Please come in.

- Please have a seat. - Okay.

- I'll get you a glass of water. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I didn't come here to blame you,

even though you almost ruin this big job for me.

Mr. Yang.

I'm really sorry. Today was my fault.

It's not your fault.

It's not like this is the first time this kind of situation has occurred.

Mr. Yang, I know

I didn't deal with today's situation correctly.

But I have a request.

I don't want to follow this project anymore.

That Yan Fei. Is he your ex-boyfriend?

Yes.

Actually, there are somethings you have to face.

Avoidance is not a solution.

You have to deal with your own feelings

before you can do what you want.

I think you can deal with it.

How about this. Get some rest tomorrow.

You can continue this project.

Think about it.

I still hope

to be able to see you at the engagement ceremony.

Are all the preparations complete?

Almost.

We are still waiting for 1000 roses to be delivered.

What's going on? You can't even take care of this minor issue.

Give me the number of the florist.

I'll call them.

I have already decided.

I want to follow through with the project,

but I have a request.

Once the project ends

can I fly right away to America?

It's not a problem.

I just need discuss the itinerary change with them.

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

I will try my hardest to do my best.

I don't want only your best.

Ah Fei, I know you're going through a hard time.

I remember when you were young

there was a time when you were bored at home

so you snuck out to play with the children in the orphanage.

When I came home, you weren't there.

I was so worried.

After I found you

I gave you a good beating,

but you didn't cry.

You told me you wished you were an orphan.

Even though you wouldn't have parents,

you would still have someone to play with you.

That day, I ended up crying all night.

I wanted to be a better mother to you.

But I wasn't able to do it.

Don't say that.

Actually, I should be thanking you both.

Thank you both for giving me such a good life (lifestyle).

Although it wasn't very happy.

Mom knows that she should have been more caring towards you,

and I'm sorry.

But what can we do?

We're forced by our circumstances.

We didn't have a choice.

If you where in our shoes,

you would have also done it.

Don't worry. I will not blame you.

I will listen to you.

I will do my best.

Although, I don't know how long I can last,

but I will try my best.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming.

Today is a wonderful occasion.

We're so happy to celebrate

Miss Wang Mi Mi and Mr. Yan Fei's engagement.

Honored guests.

Please put your hands together to welcome

the special couple today.

I think all our guests

really want to know

how they fell in love.

Lady's first.

Please go ahead Ms. Mi Mi Wang.

I first met Yan Fei at a party.

He came over and invited me to dance.

At that time, he was especially gentle.

At that moment I realized I liked him.

So they met at a dance, how romantic.

Mr. Yan Fei, when/how did you fall in love with your fiancee?

It was at...

In my hometown.

There's a small town.

There must have been a romantic story at that.

That night,

I set off fireworks for her so she can make a wish.

That night, I thought she was really beautiful.

Afterwards she said to me

every time she tried to make a wish,

it did not happen because the Y portion of the meteorite was too fast.

That night, the fireworks were set off continuously.

I don't know what she wished for.

And I don't know

if her wish has been realized.

Yan Fei, you've gone too far.

Stop right there!

You horrible son!

I am awfully sorry.

I'm really sorry for this situation.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry.

- I'm going back to work. - Okay.

I'm sorry.

I just couldn't carry on the pretense any longer.

I understand.

You don't have to look at me like that.

Your father and I

had been young once and also rash.

How can we not understand

that young men and do foolish things.

Then what's going to happen to the company?

Don't worry. Heaven knows.

Your father and I had already discussed this.

Next week we are flying to Europe

to see if we can get some orders (contracts).

We have a tough life, but there's no choice.

Later, when you get home,

try and explain it clearly to your father again.

Are you alright?

Yes.

It's probably just exhaustion.

Mr. Yang. I'm sorry.

Because of me,

the engagement turned out this way.

I cannot really blame you.

What the client wants to do or say

is not something we can control.

You don't have to blame yourself.

I feel very sorry.

The pressure you've been under might have been too much.

You should get a good rest.

When your visa is ready,

I'll have them prepare your plane ticket for America.

A change of scenery should be good for you.

Hello?

Hello. Xin Tong.

This is Yan Fei.

Are you free? Can you come out for a chat?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

Didn't I tell you to rest for a couple more days?

When I'm not busy I'll come lazy.

Then take off early from work today.

I'll treat you to dinner.

No need. I still have a lot of work to do.

Yu Qing. Don't be so unhappy.

If your keeping anything in your heart you can tell me.

Just think of me as one of the street barrel,

collecting people's burdens

protecting them from rain and wind without spilling.

Thank you.

I'll get back to work now.

Why are you avoiding me?

Didn't we already decide

that we will not meet again?

Mi Mi and I are finished.

There's no way I'll marry her.

I thought we made it very clear.

Is it because of my parents?

Don't worry. I'll make them accept you.

Yan Fei.

It's not a matter of whether your parents will accept me or not.

Don't you think that being together won't work out?

I now have my own life. A very satisfying job.

I want a peaceful and calm life.

Peaceful and calm.

Are you saying together we cannot have peaceful and calm?

With you, there can be no peacefulness.

You have your lifestyle, friends, and family.

If I were to get back together with you,

have you considered

how I would be able to face the people around you?

Have you considered how I would feel?

I'm going back to work.
