Qin.

Don't be mad at me, alright?

Why would I be mad at you?

Don't mess with the stuff in the store.

If Xu sees it later, I'll be punished again.

I should have told you

about the night before last.

I promise it won't happen again.

You value a lover over friends.

We've washed so many dishes together overseas.

Will you talk to me again?

I have chores from yesterday.

I have to do them.

If you'll excuse me.

Then, I'm leaving.

I'm off.

I'm really leaving now.

It seems to be raining.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Qin.

Here you go.

♪In the muggy weather after rain♪

♪So quiet that I can hear my breath♪

♪The migrating clouds and birds fly solo, a seat now vacant♪

♪Drifting on their journey♪

♪Our memories are about to expire♪

♪Time teaches us a lesson♪

Before your friend forgives you,

take good care of yourself first.

♪I become more and more afraid to confirm our relationship.♪

♪Should they intersect or remain parallel without meeting♪

♪Take a deep breath and pause the emotions.♪

♪I'm fortunate to encounter such serendipity♪

♪I wish to be alone♪

♪In the boundless sky that's just cleared up♪

♪Rinse my mood clean♪

♪Take a good breath and think it over.♪

♪Whether to stop or continue loving you♪

♪I believe that solitude is the night's message to me♪

♪It's pitiful for it to become♪

♪A trace of love♪

You're burning up.

Do you have a thermometer?

Look at you,

not checking the weather forecast,

not putting on more when it's cold,

and not using an umbrella when it rains.

Caught a cold, right?

It's okay. I'll just drink more water.

Don't move.

Stay put, alright?

You will rest well.

And I will take good care of you.

It's just a cold.

Don't make a fuss.

Overbearing much?

Take the medicine.

Come on.

Take the medicine and have a good sleep.

Sweat it out, and the fever will go away.

Why take a photo when you're sick?

I want to record every little bit of our lives

for us to look at when we're old.

That's a nice idea.

My girlfriend is so cute.

I want to take a photo too.

(Post to Moments)

Are you crazy? Delete it now!

The more aboveboard we are together, the more it reassures

those who care about you.

I made it official.

It's no big deal.

Let's go. I'll take you to bed.

Do I look handsome?

Not handsome, but stunning.

Come on, have a good sleep.

Let's eat something good when you wake up.

But I can't sleep.

When the children at the orphanage can't sleep,

do you comfort them this way too?

You're sick today.

That makes you a child too, Bu Ran.

Go to sleep.

Mr. Lu made it official.

Did you see it?

The way Mr. Lu looks at Bu Ran

is full of love.

So envious.

When will it be my turn to be in love?

Right?

So it's true.

Yes, look, look.

Look, oh my Gosh!

Ms. Hua, I just found out...

How come it's you?

Ms. Hua knows everything

on Bu Ran and Lu Cenyang.

So it's because you've been keeping an eye on them.

Ms. Meng, what can I do for you?

Sit down.

I wanted to talk to you

because I want you to cooperate with me

and break up Bu Ran and Lu Cenyang

so that Ms. Hua will be utterly disappointed with Bu Ran.

Ms. Meng, you went to great lengths to find me

just to have me break them up?

Bu Ran seems not to be regarded highly by Ms. Hua,

but she is not entirely forsaken.

If Bu Ran climbs up the ranks of Pinshang,

Yi Minde would have a chance to turn things around.

By then, Ms. Hua

will be even less tolerant of our family.

But you can't poach from Ms. Hua.

What if she finds out?

My mother-in-law is getting old.

How could she get angry at her daughter-in-law for helping out?

Even if she did get angry,

she couldn't do anything to me.

But as for you,

if you refuse me,

I will let Lu Cenyang know

that you are Ms. Hua's spy.

When that happens,

you will be completely useless.

Between two evils, choose the lesser.

Just be a good fence-sitter,

and you will benefit from both sides.

Why not do it?

Ms. Meng,

if you want me to break up Lu Cenyang and Bu Ran,

I might not be capable.

However, there is someone who can help you out.

I heard that Ms. Hua is currently investigating

Bu Ran's close friend, Qin Xun.

I'm sure you're aware of how important

Qin Xun is to Bu Ran.

I will talk to him.

But you are also an important part of my plan.

Ms. Meng.

A token of appreciation.

You know I'm not helping you

for your coffee beans.

You helped me solve

the trouble my child faced abroad,

and I am very grateful to you.

This is just a small gesture from me.

You know what I really want,

so stop beating around the bush.

Lu Cenyang is very tight-lipped.

I brought out Mr. Lu's old photos,

but I couldn't find out about Lu Siqi.

Say something useful.

Why did you keep

Bu Ran's lackey, Qin Xun?

He is the child of an old friend of mine.

He's handsome and sweet,

perfect for attracting customers.

I waited for so long before coming to you.

Do you think that's what I wanted to hear?

Even if you don't think about yourself,

think about your child's future.

If you continue to be evasive with me,

I cannot guarantee

that your daughter will graduate smoothly.

Qin Xun...

Qin Xun is the biological son of Lu Mingyu.

He hates Lu Mingyu.

That's more like it.

Thank you for the coffee.

Best wishes to your child.

Hey, this is Old Pal's.

Two cups of Blue Mountain coffee delivered where?

Sure thing.

If you pay the delivery fee, I'll do it.

Mr. Yi didn't look for me

just for Old Pal's coffee, right?

Ever since you helped Lu Cenyang deal with Taylor,

I have started investigating you.

I also know

that you are the biological son of Lu Mingyu.

Your father has never acknowledged you.

Our Yi Family defeated him,

indirectly helping you get some payback.

I do think

we can have a pleasant talk.

You've investigated me so thoroughly.

Could it be that you want my help to take on Lu Cenyang together?

Lu Cenyang has stolen your father's love,

and he's also taken Bu Ran.

Let's join forces.

As long as you help me break up Lu Cenyang and Bu Ran,

then,

the Yihua shares that Lu Cenyang wants,

you can take them for a dime.

Once a man has money,

naturally, he'll have the confidence to vie for a woman.

Sorry, but you have

the wrong person.

Don't be in a rush to refuse, eh?

You can't make the decision now,

but soon enough

Lu Cenyang will take everything that's yours.

Yi Mincai is going to make a move again.

I must tell Bu Ran ASAP.

Navigate to Pinshang.

I'll go get your phone for you.

Thanks!

When you came with colleagues from the Design Dept.,

you didn't take pictures.

But this time, you had

to use up your battery.

What if someone needs to find you?

Wouldn't it be good if you could find me straight away?

Did you talk to the boss

about takeaway?

Of course.

You said Qin Xun loves vegetable with pork,

stewed duck, and deep fried tofu.

I've ordered them.

Good.

Remember the noodle shop I told you about?

I've packed the best dishes they have for you.

Don't have lunch yet.

I'll bring them over to you.

Where are you now?

I need to talk to you.

Noodle shop?

Seeing your good appetite

makes me relieved.

You've spent so much time with me.

If I don't get well,

the company will lose so much big business.

You sound like the boss's lady now.

I have to think about you.

You're thinking so much about me.

You weren't at the company when I went this morning.

Did you go to Old Pal's?

I guess you were, while I was working,

dealing with the distractions first.

One should not

underestimate the insight of an excellent designer.

When I went there,

Qin Xun had already gone out.

Qin Xun must be waiting to forgive me in person.

I'll find him myself.

Thank you for your efforts and trust.

And for the feast.

That's it? Saying thanks verbally?

Close your eyes.

Why?

Just close them.

Hello, Mr. Yi.

I'm interested in your proposal.

Ms. Yao,

Have you noticed

that Bu Ran and Mr. Lu

left the company together at noon?

Bu Ran's true identity in the Yi Family

is no secret anymore.

Why wouldn't Mr. Lu's sister

make any moves?

What reaction do you expect from Siqi?

To have a big fight with Mr. Lu at the company?

That's not what I meant.

I was just thinking

someone should come out to advise Mr. Lu, right?

We can't let Bu Ran

be the lady of Pinshang alone.

Besides, the boss dating an employee

can definitely affect work performance.

Otherwise, why would there be so many companies

that explicitly prohibit office romances?

Bu Ran has made many contributions to the company.

Besides, as the secretary,

how could I go about sowing discord

between the boss and his younger sister?

You've already been made an ally by Bu Ran's PR, haven't you?

Forget I said anything.

Hello? Who's this?

Lu Siqi.

I'm your brother.

Go tell Lu Cenyang

that I have found you.

Bu Ran, you go back to work first.

What happened?

Someone called me claiming to be my biological brother.

They knew my identity

and wanted to meet with me.

Is it the person Dad has been looking for?

I'm not sure yet.

I don't know if it's true.

Dad's been searching for so long, yet he hasn't shown up.

Regardless,

I'll go and meet him.

Okay.

But...

Don't worry.

Hello?

Boss.

He said he saw you appear

and refused to meet.

Mr. Lu.

Hello?

Who is this?

How can you not recognize my voice?

It's Yi Mincai.

Did you make that call?

What call?

Mr. Lu, before my call, were you aware

that Lu Minyu's true son

has appeared?

Speak. What do you want?

I don't want much.

Just break up with Bu Ran

and make it public.

Do you think I would agree?

If you refuse to do as I say,

everyone will know

that Lu Mingyu abandoned his wife and child.

With Lu Mingyu's son's announcement,

don't even think about covering it up.

What do you think

your sister Lu Siqi

would feel about that?

What's the situation?

The person

who made the call used a voice changer,

and I had the IT and Security department

look up the phone number

and found out it was spoofed.

People who know you're Lu Siqi

didn't just appear out of nowhere.

So, what Yi Mincai said might actually be true.

The person who called you

was indeed your half-brother.

Dad always used to mention him in front of me,

but I've never met him.

Why would he show up like that?

By the way,

how did Yi Mincai know about it?

Could he know that I am Lu Siqi?

Rest assured,

given Yi Mincai's personality,

if he knew you were Lu Siqi,

he would come to find you immediately,

instead of calling you.

I'm guessing your brother,

for some special reason,

chose to cooperate with Yi Mincai for now.

But he didn't

tell him that you are Lu Siqi.

Which is why Yi Mincai wants to use this to blackmail you.

He wants me to break up with Bu Ran.

Did you agree?

No way.

Right now, we don't know

what kind of tactics he will use next.

But what I can be sure of is

someone would know.

Carry.

So you don't need to worry.

Take good care of yourself.

For the sake of caution,

don't be alone

starting today.

In that case,

can I stay at Fortune Pavilion?

Bu Ran still doesn't know your identity.

So you have to stay

at the company's appointed hotel.

Rest assured.

I'll send men on point duty.

Bu Ran had someone deliver it at noon.

It's gotten cold now.

Did anything happen

with Ms. Yao and you?

I've never seen you so nervous.

It's nothing.

Just some work matters.

Although I don't know

what happened between you.

But when you're in trouble

and I can't help,

it feels terrible.

I know.

(Yi Mincai)

Uncle.

Don't worry.

Good night.

It's me, Yi Mincai.

For the industry gathering,

you should come in person tomorrow.

As long as you declare that you have

no connection whatsoever with Bu Ran in front of the entire industry,

I will preserve some dignity

for your foster father and sister.

Was that a threat?

Mr. Lu.

Between Bu Ran and Lu Siqi,

someone has to get hurt.

If I had to choose,

the sister is more important, right?

Was my uncle involved in today's matter?

What is he doing now?

Just some ridiculous petty tricks.

It's not your turn to take action yet.

Since we've already started dating,

we should

face difficulties together, right?

I know.

I am capable of solving it.

Can I take care of this matter?

What exactly are you hiding from me?

Either it's because my uncle did something again,

or it's because of my identity,

that you can't tell me.

What do you mean by that?

I mean you're wary of me

because I'm from the Yi Family.

Or that you have a relationship

with Ms. Yao that I can't know.

Do you not trust me that much?

It's you who doesn't trust me.

Ms. Meng,

you went to great lengths to find me

just to have me break those two up, huh?

Bu Ran seems not to be regarded highly by Ms. Hua,

but she is not entirely forsaken.

If Bu Ran climbs up the ranks of Pinshang,

Yi Minde would have a chance to turn things around.

By then, Ms. Hua

will be even less tolerant of our family.

Ms. Meng, what do you want me to do then?

It's simple.

Find someone to pretend to be Lu Cenyang's girlfriend

and accompany him to our industry's monthly gathering.

Do you want Lu Cenyang to publicly dump Bu Ran?

Mr. Lu.

We should get going.

It's you.

You're dressed

just like the leading lady in a palace drama.

When declaring sovereignty,

being the leading lady is very satisfying.

A large sandwich.

A large fruit salad

and a strong cocktail.

Are you still mad at me?

It's not worth it.

You're eating a lot.

Can't you tell I'm in a really bad mood today?

Being with Lu Cenyang,

getting upset was bound to happen sooner or later.

The sandwich can satisfy you.

If you want to drown your sorrows, don't look for me.

I won't let you do it.

Don't think that Lu Cenyang's post on Moments

is such an amazing thing.

In my opinion,

he's using the fact that you've never been in love.

Haven't you seen the gossip news?

Those who are truly recognized by the CEO as girlfriends

are openly taken to social events

to meet more people.

You

are the hidden mistress at Pinshang

at most.

I've been upset all day.

Did you have to make it worse?

Is there any wine or not?

Your discomfort has only just begun.

Drink this first.

If you don't serve, I'll order takeaway.

Today, I need drinks

to have the strength to contend with Lu Cenyang.

I just don't get it.

What on earth is going on

that he just has to keep it from me?

If he's hiding it,

there are matters that you shouldn't know about.

Matters that I shouldn't know about?

Mr. Lu, long time no see.

(Hai City Construction Industry Summit)

Mr. Lu.

You never bring a female companion whenever you come.

Always alone.

Mr. Wang, you are wrong there.

Mr. Lu is a young talent.

How could he possibly not have a girlfriend?

Speaking of which, I've recently heard a piece of gossip

saying that Mr. Lu

is dating the designer Bu Ran, right?

You seem quite interested

in my private life.

We're just curious

that what kind of woman

can date you, Mr. Lu?

- Why come here? - Ms. Yao.

I am more suitable

to play this act with you.

What are you doing here?

Carry, you got it wrong.

I should be the one here today for this occasion.

What do you know?

I know what you're to do today.

So, for your mission today,

I'll take care of it.

I thought you were never

interested in Mr. Lu.

I know that Mr. Lu

came under pressure today.

Compared to you,

the identity of a girlfriend

is more convincing on me.

You...

You don't know the story behind today,

so you can't replace me.

Is that so?

I heard that Mr. Yi and Ms. Meng will both be here today.

Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity in public?

Listen to me.

I'll take care of this matter.

You can complete the task

without getting involved.

Win-win, right?

This is Ms. Yao.

I suppose you have met her.

Hello, Ms. Yao.

Carry has put effort into her task.

I thought she would come herself,

but unexpectedly,

she actually found someone more suitable than her.
