EPISODE 9

-Hello, my name is Wen Rui Xuan. -Hello.

Have we met before?

I don't think so.

I would've remember if we did.

Wait.

Are you a housewife like Mrs. Wen?

Oh.

No. Rui Xuan works in the sales department

of Tai Gu Cars. She's awesome.

If your friends have to buy cars, you have to introduce them to her.

Then don't you need to be at work now?

Yes.

I had a meeting at the head office and I just made an excuse to leave.

You make it sound so easy. I don't know who just told me

about meeting the president in the elevator,

and being scared of the new director.

Hey. When did I say that? Please.

I am also pretty experienced, okay?

I think they were going to ask me for advice.

Advice on what? How to skip work?

Hey.

Thank you.

Are you full? Do you need anything else?

No need. We are really full.

The tuna was really good.

Can we have another one?

Why did you kick me?

It was an accident.

Excuse me, we'll have one more tuna dish.

And please bring the desserts. Thank you.

Miss.

You can just pack the tuna to-go. Thank you.

Wait.

I think I saw Mr. Wen yesterday in a restaurant.

Yesterday?

You must've seen someone else. He was working overtime yesterday.

-Oh, really? -Yes.

Then maybe I saw someone else.

Are you sure you saw someone else, Mr. Lan?

Which restaurant was it?

It was Do on An He road.

But I only saw the person briefly. It's hard to say for sure.

Hey. That restaurant is the one where your brother proposed to me.

Was the person you saw proposing as well?

They are probably not at that stage yet.

I think he was on a date with his girlfriend.

Thank God that wasn't your husband.

Or else I'll be embarrassed today.

I know.

Mr. Lan. You said that you had something to tell me.

Was it this?

Don't worry. I trust my husband the most in this world.

He is a really good man. Right?

Then I was thinking too much.

No. It's okay.

I'm really thankful that you think of me as a friend. Thank you.

-I found it. This one! -What?

What about it?

Don't you think someone looks familiar?

He's your brother.

No kidding. I meant this woman beside him.

Don't you think she looks familiar?

Not really.

She's that she-devil He Ai Lin.

Really?

Oh!

She's much prettier now.

How come I didn't know that she was Rui Fan's classmate?

She didn't go to school with my brother. And her real name is He Shu Lian.

Why do you keep telling me about He Ai Lin today?

What's wrong with you?

Do you have dementia?

You don't remember such a vulgar name as Shu Lian?

Hey!

He was your brother's girlfriend?

Right. She didn't like the name Shu Lian.

So she changed her name to something more vulgar, Ai Lin.

Just a second.

Hey.

Then why didn't your brother tell me after all those years in the company?

My brother said that he didn't love that woman anymore.

He only sees her as a normal colleague.

So maybe he didn't feel like he needed to tell you.

If he had told me,

I would've believed him.

Maybe because

you know, my brother was super sad when they broke up.

Maybe he really didn't want you

to worry about it and think about it too much.

Hey.

Why did they break up?

I'm not really sure, either.

I just know that

He Ai Lin's family needed money but my brother was just a poor student.

Ai Lin's ambition and wants was something my brother couldn't fulfill.

So they had to say goodbye.

Looking at Ai Lin now, you'll know how formidable she is.

Hey, Rui Xuan.

So you think

that He Ai Lin is trying

to do something to Rui Fan now?

I already forgot about them a long time ago.

I just got to know when Hao Kang De told me

that here's someone interested in my brother at his office.

I didn't care that much.

-But that Mr. Lan-- -Nothing would happen.

Your brother is not that kind of a person.

-He wouldn't. -I know.

I trust my brother, too. I just don't trust that Ai Lin.

Because she's very conniving.

I'm afraid that she'll try to lure my brother

to get the position of vice president.

She would make my brother feel pitiful so that he won't fight with her.

Your brother is working hard. He's doing overtime every day.

It won't happen.

Let me teach you. Why you don't do anything?

Why don't you deliver lunch to my brother,

or walk around in the office?

It'll warn that woman to not do anything rash.

Okay.

Even though I've dated before,

I've never been as happy as I am now.

Good.

Before, I used to complain that God was unfair to me.

But now,

I think He has started to adore me.

Really?

No one has liked you before? What about your ex-boyfriend?

Don't mention him.

He treated me the worse out of everyone.

Sorry for bringing up your painful past.

It's okay.

I won't let anyone ruin the good times we have together.

Okay. Then let's forget

our painful past.

I hope

that our journey together will continue for a long time.

So long that it'll never end.

-Good night. -Good night.

You are still up?

I was waiting for you.

You don't have to wait for me. I won't be hungry or thirsty.

-Don't worry. -I just wanted to ask you,

how long were you going to keep me in the dark?

What are you talking about?

You should've told me.

Didn't we promise each other

when we got married to have no secrets between us?

We don't have secrets between us.

I know everything.

Listen to me.

If you had told me, I would've been okay with it.

But you didn't say anything to me. I think this is weird.

It doesn't really matter that He Ai Lin is your ex-girlfriend.

You were talking about He Ai Lin?

Then who else would it be?

Rui Xuan must've told you, right? So useless.

I have no relationship with her.

And don't forget, we are enemies now.

She hasn't bothered you?

Why would she bother me?

We were both shocked when I first got into the company.

But we made an agreement

to not mention the past. We pretend like nothing happened before.

Hey.

Then did you eat with a woman at An He road yesterday?

Of course not.

Hey, whose lies are you hearing now? Is it Rui Xuan again?

No. I'm not telling you.

What's happening? Are you grilling me now?

Say it! Who's trying to cause discord?

-Say it! Who is it? -It's nothing.

Okay, I believe you.

-Don't be suspicious anymore. -I got it.

Look at you. You are an adult and you still throw clothes around.

I trust my brother, too. I just don't trust that Ai Lin.

Because she's very conniving.

Why don't you do anything? Why don't you deliver lunch to my brother,

or walk around in the office?

It'll warn that woman to not do anything rash.

-Ah Tang, hey. -Hey?

An Zhen, you are here.

I made lunch to give to you guys.

It's here.

This is yours. Eat it while it's hot.

An Zhen, thank you.

But Rui Fan went to eat outside. Do you want me to call him?

Oh, no need.

So, who's he eating with?

Sorry, An Zhen, I don't know.

Okay, no problem. Eat it while it's hot. I'll be going.

Okay. Have a good day.

Bye bye.

Don't tell me

that my husband is eating with He Ai Lin?

-Mrs. Wen. -He Ai Lin.

Why are you here?

Didn't Wen Rui Fan tell you that he switched departments?

He did. I'm delivering lunch for him.

I didn't see him over there so I came here

to see if he's here.

He wouldn't be here for no reason.

Lunch?

-Yes. -You are such a good wife.

Then...

Since my husband's not here, you can have it.

Hey, I made it deliciously.

-There's no need. -It's okay.

-You must've not eaten yet. -But...

Thank you, He Ai Lin. I'll be going. Sorry for disturbing you.

Oh my god! What was I saying?

Why did I give her the lunch?

I was so scared that I didn't know what to do.

Gosh!

The hearts!

Who makes this kind of lunch nowadays?

Such a pathetic housewife.

So humiliating.

Never mind.

Rui Xuan said that I had to have the upper hand.

Right. Now she knows

that the relationship between us is still good.

She won't want to do something to my husband.

Mom, read a story for me.

Can you go read first? Mom is cooking right now.

But I can't read a lot of the characters.

Then wait for me.

Dad has to drink this tomorrow so I have to finish it, okay?

Dad, read a story for me.

Meng Meng, be good. I'm studying, so go ask Mom to read it.

No. Read a story for me.

Don't study anymore.

You haven't read me a story for a long time.

Read, read.

-Read. -Meng Meng.

Dad looks busy.

How about I read a story to you?

Okay.

What are we going to read today?

"The Fantastical Animal Kingdom."

Wow. We are going to visit the zoo today.

Guess who we will meet today?

Zebra. He has big teeth and eats people.

-Big teeth, right? -Right.

Oh no. I only have four fingers left.

We have to say that...

We can't go

-because they are lying to us. -Why?

They'll eat us.

It said, Oh!

-"Then we'll keep going." -Ah!

-Who's this? -Tiger.

Tiger. Then what do we have to say to it?

Thank you.

"Then we saw a huge toucan

with a huge mouth.

Then it screamed, ah, ah."

What would happen,

if you put your finger in?

It hurts. Oh no.

"I only have four fingers left. What should I do?"

"Then we saw the panda zone.

There's a mama panda holding a baby panda.

Rocking like this.

Rocking and rocking.

Rocking and rocking.

Then the baby panda slowly fell asleep."

What time is it?

Rui Fan.

Rui Fan.

Wei En.

Wei En.

That's weird. Why does it all look the same?

-An Zhen! -Wei En, sorry. Are you okay?

It's okay.

Why was the door locked?

I don't know, either.

I was reading a story for Meng Meng. And then I fell asleep.

Brother-in-law and Meng Meng fell asleep, too.

I woke up when you knocked.

Sorry. I actually fell asleep in the living room, too.

Meng Meng doesn't let people go easily. Sorry for troubling you.

Not at all.

I like telling her stories.

She's very lucky to fall asleep while listening to stories.

When I was little, I often fell asleep to the sounds of my parent's fighting.

Never mind. Let's not talk about it. They'll wake up.

I'll be going to sleep.

-Okay. Thank you. -No problem.

-Okay. Go to bed. -Good night.

Good night.

That's weird.

Why was the door locked suddenly?

Oliver.

Am I being bad?

I'm just pretending to have a family

and that they are mine.

Just pretending for a little bit.

Pretending...

Hey. Unpaid nanny, you are here again.

Stop talking so much. Do you want to pay me instead?

Hey, it smells so good. You are so warm-hearted.

My parents don't live here,

but you're making food to bring to them?

Taiwan's best daughter-in-law.

Then why don't you cook?

You are doing this to suck up to my mom. You really don't have to do that much.

-Just buy take-out and bring it there. -Don't even think about it.

Take-outs are too salty and unsanitary.

They are not worth it.

If Mom knew I did that, I don't know what would happen.

Oh no.

Now is not that time for the Eldest Sons Wife.

If my mom scolds at you, then just play dumb.

Do I have to play?

I went to Rui Fan's company the other day.

Why did you go to his company?

Why? Hey!

You told me to show my dominance to He Ai Lin. Did you forget?

Right... What happened?

On that day, I don't know why I felt so nervous.

I even gave her a lunch.

You are so dumb.

Hey, but you really went there?

Xie An Zhen. I didn't know you were that brave.

I can do anything to protect my husband, I'm telling you.

That's weird. Why did his wife come?

To get some inside information from me?

If he was that dumb, he couldn't run for vice president.

Just simply to give him lunch?

Impossible.

Could it be

that they're having some marriage problems?

I want to find out the truth.

But I can't go to the company that often. I'm afraid Rui Fan won't like it.

This is not easy.

Let me tell you, you can't look for these things yourself.

You have to get a spy.

But you are lucky. You have two spies you can use.

-My husband can take care of He Ai Lin. -Yes. Yes?

What about my husband?

Don't you have your coquettish cousin, Wei En?

-Wei En... -Hey.

I don't want to put her beside any men, either.

But my brother can definitely be an exception.

And with those two as your guards,

bad things will never get through.

It's not that, it's...

How do I bring this up to Wei En? About her being a spy?

Who was saying something about

"I can do anything to protect my husband."

-But-- -Okay. I know. I'm sorry.

Buy one get one free.

Biggest sale of the year. I'll go talk to her with you, okay?

Thank you.

Goodness.

You wanted to go anyways.

SISTER

Hello? An Zhen. Do you need something?

You want to have lunch with me?

Okay.

Look, Wei En. I bought some sushi you like.

Here you go.

An Zhen, I'm actually not that hungry today.

It'd be a waste if you don't eat it. I'll eat it if you don't.

Let's eat together.

Okay.

Right, An Zhen. Why did you suddenly want to see me?

What do you mean? Your sister is so good to you.

She is considerate and takes care of you. What the heck do you mean?

Nothing. We just did this on a whim.

We were nearby, so...

Then why didn't you call Brother-in-law?

To put it simply,

there's no such a thing as free lunch, Wei En.

An Zhen wants you to help her with something.

What is it?

Wei En. Don't you think Rui Fan is a little weird?

What?

Not really.

Really?

Do you know anyone trying to get close to him?

An Zhen, I've been really busy with work lately.

I don't really know.

That's okay. Then from now on,

can you help me keep an eye him a bit more?

Why?

To put it simply, Rui Fan has a girlfriend.

What?

-Sorry. -It's okay.

Just use another one. Here.

-We'll throw this away. -See, even she's scared.

How can Brother-in-law have a girlfriend?

Who's his girlfriend?

Why are you so nervous? It's his ex-girlfriend.

A girlfriend from a long time ago.

-Oh. -Hey.

-There's something even crazier. -What?

This ex-girlfriend is your boss.

Ai Lin?

Please! Why did you tell her?

It's better to say it straight up. Wei En, let me tell you.

Married men should not meet two kinds of vixens.

One is an experienced vixen like He Ai Lin.

-And the other one is like you-- -Hey.

-Wen Rui Xuan, just get the point. -Okay, the main point.

The main point is, He Ai Lin is the master of masters.

I don't think you want him to be seduced by this experienced vixen, right?

Right.

So, if this woman dares come near my brother again,

you'll have to report it to us, got it?

Wei En.

We just heard that she might be interested in Rui Fan.

You know he is softhearted and sentimental.

I'm afraid he'll get scammed.

We'll have to rely on you.

Okay, An Zhen. I got it.

But don't worry too much.

I think he wouldn't abandon you

no matter what happens.

I...

I thought so, too.

CABBAGE, RAPE, BOK CHOY, ORIGINALLY 50¢, NOW 25¢ A BUNDLE

-Wen Rui Xuan. -Yes.

Can you buy some fresh produce?

Look at you. What is this?

Frozen fried rice, frozen buns, and frozen dumplings.

No wonder

you and Kang De's relationship is always frozen.

How can you captivate his heart at this rate?

Do what? It's more important to catch his girl.

Using my vixen-catching experience,

the spies are only the outfield defense.

You have to rely on yourself for infield defense.

-Did you start watching baseball? -No.

It's just a metaphor.

Infield and outfield are like the home and the outside.

Hey, do you remember what three things wives fear the most?

What are they?

-Crashing into cars, ghosts, and affairs. -That's right.

So to check if he really crashed onto an affair,

you, as a wife, have to set up elaborate traps, too.

You can't miss both infield and outfield.

Player at first base.

One must have incredible observation skills.

See if your husband has secretly changed his appearance,

his attitude, and even his habits.

Then you have to be careful.

Okay. So if she dares to act rashly, I have to tag her at first base.

That's right.

The player at second base must be incredibly alert.

Pay attention to whether your husband has been especially good to you.

Or especially warm and caring.

Even giving you expensive gifts when it's not a holiday.

Ah? Wouldn't that be good?

It's not good!

If he kisses up for no apparent reason, it's never going to be a good thing.

I know.

It means he feels bad. He pities you and wants to make up for it.

That's right. You are getting better.

The player at third base.

He is very important. He determines if you'll see a lover.

What does the player at third base do?

What does he do? He sees if your husband keeps using work

as an excuse not to be home.

So he can be out of your control.

If this happens more and more, then you'll likely find him in an affair.

That's right.

But things get serious at this step.

So you have to prepare in advance.

-I need to hold down first base well. -That's right.

Any tiny change my brother makes needs to be seen by your eyes.

Take notes.

The delivery rate for that department store is really high.

I think we need to design

new marketing techniques and sales strategy.

Brother-in-law, wait for me.

Brother-in-law, this tie would look good on you. You look great.

We came to the stores to see how we can get money from other people,

not how we can give money to other people, okay?

Okay.

But if you wear this tie, it will increase your sales,

make you look better and more charming and professional.

Wouldn't that be a good deal?

It's a good deal.

Then can we concentrate on the work after buying this?

Yes, I promise.

Didn't you say you needed a haircut? How come I'm here?

You'll definitely look better after doing this, okay?

Different hair style, different mood. There's no disadvantage.

If you don't like it, then go back to the original style.

What kind of mood should I be in?

The mood for love.

I have a gift for you.

What is it?

You'll see when you open it.

Sazabi.

How did you get this?

I can't believe you know this. You are pretty nerdy.

I liked Char when I was in high school.

Tell me why you bought this for me.

I just thought red looks good.

And your life has too much composure and is too proper.

You need some red-hot passion to stimulate it.

I haven't done Gundam for so long.

I seldom play these childish things.

You mean you don't like it?

Never mind. I'll go return it.

I like it, give it to me.

You're not being sincere. Do you want it or not?

Give it to me.

Okay.

You didn't even say thank you.

Thank you.

No problem.

-Hey. You are back. -Hey. Ironing clothes?

What's with your hair?

I had some time this afternoon while touring the shop.

-I just did it at the salon. -Oh.

-Does it look good? -Yes.

It's not bad.

Did you do it with Wei En? She got a haircut today, too.

Really? I didn't know.

What a coincidence.

When did you buy the new tie?

I saw it on the tour.

They said it's from the latest collection.

It looks good, right?

Oh, yes.

I need to exercise. I can't be lazy.

I'm going to play basketball every week from now on.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Have you eaten?

I'll warm up dinner for you.

You don't have to.

What do you mean?

I'm not hungry.

Did you also eat out like Wei En? Eating out before coming back?

Hey, I made a lot tonight.

I didn't want you to bother you. Ironing clothes and warming up dishes.

How is this troublesome? Just wait for me.

Now I have to eat even when I'm full.

See if your husband has secretly changed his appearance,

his attitude, and even his habits.

Then you have to be careful.

What are you doing? You scared me.

You said you don't play with such things.

Gundam modeling requires a lot of concentration.

You don't feel sorry for scaring a man in concentration?

Didn't you say it was a kid's toy? Why are you concentrating?

It's so late for eating junk food. Aren't you afraid you'll get fat?

No, I like junk food the most.

Besides, I'm young, so my body can take it.

Do you want some?

An Zhen usually doesn't let me eat this.

She said she's caring for my health.

Really?

But you only live once.

What's the fun

in having so much restrictions?

Okay, you are still young.

You'll know when you get to my age

that you can't just do whatever you want.

Rui Fan.

I think

that whatever lives people live are chosen by themselves.

Some people like to follow the common path

but some like to find their own way.

It's just most people don't want to get out of their comfort zones.

Come on, tell me now. Why did you give me a gift?

Because when you look at it, you'll think of me.

Why do you keep looking at me?

Brother-in-law, don't you think that this haircut makes you

look handsome and young?

-Really? -Really.

It probably does.

Come, help me.

Where should this hand go?

Mom, Dad is gone. What should we do?

An Zhen, don't cry.

Come, have some candy.

Don't worry, we will be fine.

Is it sweet?

Yes.

Life is sweet

and the future will be sweet, too.

You just have to believe in it.
