Episode 32
Commander in Chief. What's wrong?
Nothing. Let's go.
- Sorry. - Let me do it.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Go back to work.
Did Pei Lin see you too?
I really didn't have the guts.
I chose to run away.
Jing Wan.
It's useless to run away from it. You should face him.
I know but...
The motive behind coming to Chengzhou was to persuade him to resist the Japanese.
If you don't have the courage to see him,
how are you going to persuade him?
I understand what you are telling me.
But when he came so close to me,
I was too nervous and couldn't think straight.
I thought I would never feel that way again.
Everything is in the past.
Time has changed everything.
But Xin Zhi, do you know that
at that moment, I realised
how much I missed him.
These kind of feelings can't be erased by time.
Jing Wan, come to your senses.
It's already in the past.
If you want to start a new life,
you can't get bogged down in past memories.
Xin Zhi.
You know,
all these years, I have worked very hard to forget.
I wanted to start a new life
- but... - Jing Wan.
I have always been next to you all these years,
to help you forget the past and start your new life.
I painstakingly wished for you to start a new life.
I also hoped there would be a little place in your heart
for me.
Jing Wan.
I admit that
my feelings for you
have already gone beyond that of a good friend.
I like you.
I want to see you be happy.
I want to be by your side
and take care of you forever.
I already knew that.
Xin Zhi.
I can feel all the good things you have done for me
But my intent is to not contradict my heart.
I don't want to lie to you.
My heart belongs to only one man.
With certain things,
the more you want to forget them, the harder it is.
They are already engraved deeply in my heart.
I want to use a knife to cut it away
but every time I try cutting,
my heart bleeds.
In the past, I never mentioned this.
Honestly, I was running away from this too.
I have always been afraid of what's in your heart.
But today,
I want you to clearly tell me.
At this moment, between Pei Lin and you,
after having ended things with each other long ago,
when all the bad memories faded
about him,
what kind of feeling do you still have?
It's love.
I have never stopped loving him.
Xin Zhi.
Please forgive me.
Miss.
How is it?
The taste is not bad. Remember to add more cordyceps next time.
Yes, Miss.
My dear Miss. Your appetite is really not bad.
Mother Guo.
Here.
This is... - Please deliver this to the Governor's residence
and give it to In-law Lan.
- Miss. What you are saying is... - When I tell you to go, just go.
Okay.
Give me another bowl.
Madam. Don't worry. There is nothing to be alarmed about.
It's just that you have received a slight shock.
You will be fine in a few days. It's just that...
Just what?
Congratulations, Madam. You are pregnant.
What did you say?
- I'm pregnant? - Yes.
In the days to come, you must take care of your moods
and eat healthy foods that are good for the baby.
Child. God gave me the most beautiful gift.
As long as I have you, no one can separate me from your father.
Your father still doesn't know about this good news.
I think when he finds out,
he will be very happy.
There are so many out-of-date newspapers here. What news will we find in them?
Stop talking nonsense.
Let me tell you, in order to be trustworthy, we need to rely on old news.
Stop talking nonsense. Look for it now.
This is better.
What's wrong with you again?
Chief, look at this.
I get it.
Take this one, it's good.
What are you doing?
Jing Wan?
What's wrong?
What happened?
Is this really you?
Oh my God.
It's me.
If you we that closely related with Mu Rong Feng,
why won't you persuade him to save the country?
I really want to do it
but I can't face him.
This is a critical moment.
The country and the nation are at risk.
You have to give up private interests and take into account the well-being of the whole nation.
That's right, Jing Wan.
We all heard about your painful past with Mu Rong Feng,
but as a young patriot,
you need to stand by your beliefs and face him.
Jing Wan. If you were fated to join us in our anti-Japanese movement,
the will of heaven probably wanted you to convince Mu Rong Feng.
Since this is heaven's will, you should be brave and do it.
Okay, I will go.
Come.
Miss Yin, please stay.
Bye.
I'm leaving first.
Miss Yin.
This tunic is still not done.
It's Fourth Master who ordered it from me.
I haven't done the buttons.
I wanted to ask you to help me to sew them.
Could you do it?
Master Tan.
Miss Yin is smart. You should know what I mean.
I will do my best.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @Viki
Pei Lin. Please reply to this letter if you want to meet.
A few years have passed since our separation in Chengzhou.
Can we meet for a bit and chat?
I will wait for you at the Eglantine Restaurant on the 6th at 19.00.
I hope you will be present at the appointed time.
Jing Wan.
Start the car.
Has Commander in Chief been staying here the entire time?
Commander in Chief has been living here alone.
Sometimes, he drinks
and sleeps here.
By the way,
I told the staff to boil nutritious soups for him. Did he drink them?
Yes.
But according to your instructions,
we didn't tell Commander in Chief that you delivered it here.
Madam. Why can't we tell Commander in Chief?
You are so concerned about him and think of him every night.
If he finds out, he will definitely forgive you.
Mrs. Lan. It's not the time yet.
It's common for married couples to fight and reconcile.
What are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for the day
when he misses the feelings between us
and personally fetchs me back.
Of course.
Madam. He's just sulking.
He will come and fetch you home soon.
This letter was just delivered here.
When Commander in Chief left, it was was too late for him to read it.
In-law Lan. It's nothing.
Madam Tao is inviting us to a banquet.
I think Pei Lin won't be in the right mood to attend.
It's better not to let him know.
Hello, Miss Yin.
An important client, who booked the private room, is already in there.
This way, please.
This way.
Please wait.
What's wrong? You don't welcome me?
No.
We haven't met for a long time.
Miss Yin. You have changed a lot.
You must be very disappointed to not see the person who was supposed to meet you.
Pei Lin wanted me to thank you for the invitation.
He's very busy and can't come.
You must be thinking that I didn't allow him to come.
Although, I would like to tell you that
maybe you have not yet abandoned your idea
of retaking your place as his wife.
I think even you know that with time, things change.
You are a reasonable person.
You wouldn't unreasonable as to ruin someone else's family at time like this, right?
Madam. I only wanted to see him
to persuade him to join the resistance against Japanese. For no other reason than this.
Are you that noble now?
But Miss Yin, what right do you have to persuade Pei Lin to come to such a great decision?
What right does Pei Lin have to agree to you?
Who are you to him?
You are right. Who am I to him?
I'm doing this
because he is a friend of mine,
I don't care what your motive is. I advise you to stop it.
To Pei Lin, you are just a woman from his past.
It is impossible to rekindle your relationship as it was before.
I'm the only one he loves.
Only I can pursuade him
and be able to help him.
Madam.
I will be frank. I don't care what you think.
No matter what, I must find him.
I will persuade him not to take the wrong path this time.
Wait.
What's wrong? Do you still have something to say?
Miss Yin. Please don't disturb our lives.
Don't show up in front of Pei Lin.
Don't ruin our family, okay?
Madam. I think you have misunderstood.
No. No matter what the reason is,
you must not show yourself in front of Pei Lin.
It has really been hard for me all these years.
I want to live a peaceful life.
Miss Yin.
For my sake, for the sake of the child in my stomach,
take it as I'm begging you.
You are pregnant?
Yes, I'm pregnant.
I'm pregnant with Pei Lin's baby.
This child is the evidence of our many years of love.
It's like a miracle. It suddenly came into this world.
It's already three months old.
We already heard its heartbeat.
In the deep of the night when everything is quiet,
I can hear its heartbeat.
Miss Yin. You are also a woman.
You almost became a mother too.
You should understand how I feel, right?
Don't say anything more.
Jing Wan.
Why are you back so fast?
Jing Wan. So?
Tell us, quick. So how did it go?
How was Mu Rong Feng's attitude?
What's wrong? He didn't agree?
It's okay. We can think of another solution.
That's right.
It's not that easy to change a person's mind.
We need to prepare for a long battle and double our efforts.
Jing Wan, take a rest first.
Okay.
Let's think of another solution.
Jing Wan. What exactly is going on?
Mu Rong Feng
didn't show up.
Jing Wan. What happened today?
He didn't show up. It's that simple.
Stop lying to me. Something must has happened.
Jing Wan.
Do you know how worried I am seeing you like this?
No matter what happened, tell me.
Even if something big happened, I can help you to solve it.
He really didn't show up.
The one who showed up was your sister.
Jin Zhi?
Why did she go there?
She came to warn me
to not ruin her marriage.
That Jin Zhi!
She is really unbelievable.
Honestly, I understand her.
She is afraid of losing the man she loves.
Even more so,
she doesn't have a way out now.
She's pregnant with Pei Lin's child.
What? What did you say?
She is pregnant?
Yes, she's pregnant.
As a mother,
she has the right to protect her family.
Isn't that so?
I went to meet him
to persuade him to join the resistance.
But what Jin Zhi said is right.
The three of us
shouldn't perhaps meet like this anymore.
This is really Heaven playing with man.
Jin Zhi. Where did you go?
I suddenly craved some cake so I went to Eglantine Restaurant to eat some.
Eat cake?
Dad.
Tomorrow is Pei Lin and my wedding anniversary.
I would like to invite him home
and celebrate with everyone.
Jin Zhi. You...- Uncle Zhong
What needs to be done, I will leave it all to you.
When you have done the preparations, I want to personally do the cooking.
This...
Don't say anymore.
I must see Commander in Chief today.
Let me in.
Mr. Maeda.
Commander in Chief is really sick. He can't see anyone.
Do you know who sent me here?
I was personally sent by General Sakai of the Japanese Army.
If I don't see Commander in Chief today,
what do you expect me to tell the General?
Even if it's the Emperor,
you still need to consider the condition of our Commander in Chief.
How about I relay your message to the Commander in Chief.
Mr. Maeda, please go back first. When Commander in Chief is well,
you will be the first person I notify.
Commander in Chief, the Japanese has left.
Madam would like to invite you to a feast tomorrow.
I wonder what present Commander in Chief wishes to bring along.
I will make the preparation.
I won't go.
Madam seems to have something important to announce.
Let's talk about this tomorrow.
I will prepare a few presents first.
You can choose them tomorrow.
Do you have anything else?
By the way, Commander in Chief,
Master Tan delivered your clothes here.
I told him to give them to me but he insisted on personally seeing you.
He has been waiting downstairs for a long time.
Master Tan.
Fourth Master.
If you have called me, I would have sent someone over.
You didn't need to personally drop this off for me.
I won't hide it from you. Frankly, I personally delivered it here
because I have something to tell you.
Okay, please sit.
Please speak.
I remember when Senior Madam was alive.
She once said you had an aura of a noble man
and will become a hero.
Now, the country is in danger.
Therefore the hero should now appear.
Fourth Master, you need to make up your mind quick.
Thank you for your advice.
Your mother will protect you from the other world.
I must decide without hesitation.
Jing Wan. If it were you,
what would you want me to do?
Would you make the decision as me?
Harsh winter suffocates me.
Blue sky lost its dazzling beauty .
Suddenly, heavy rain begins to pour. Everything is already predestined.
White mists swirl over green fields.
Our traces left on the grass.
Sweet past moments still fresh in my mind. I want to erase my memories.
My loneliness grows with the unmelted snow.
My heart frozen in the icy night.
I sense your presence with my eyes closed. Memories stay hidden on the bottom of my heart.
Thank you
for giving me the answer.
Jiang Ping.
Commander in Chief.
It is very urgent. The streets of Chengzhou are filled with protesters.
They are heading towards the Japanese Consulate.
I'm afraid it will be hard to control them.
Commander in Chief. Should I send the soldiers there?
The Japanese will use force to suppress them.
Avoid a bloody conflict and protect the people.
I will personally go.
Commander in Chief. What about Madam?
Tell them to light the candles later.
And also, tell the kitchen
to cook the beef steak from France medium rare.
The dessert should be cheese cake.
Okay.
Dad.
Move it. Be careful.
Jin Zhi.
Pei Lin is as stubborn as a donkey.
He will not bend to your will so easily.
You must be mentally prepared.
I'm not doing this to seek forgiveness from him.
What then?
I want to tell him that he's going to be a father soon.
What?
You didn't hear wrong. You are going to be a Grandfather.
I'm going to be a Grandfather?
I'm going to be a Grandfather.
I'm going to carry my Grandchild.
Senior Master. You are...
I'm going to be a Grandfather. I'm going to carry my Grandchild.
Great.
Congratulations, Senior Master.
Congratulations, Miss.
MIss. You are really a good daughter.
Bring that red bottle of French wine now.
- We must celebrate tonight. - Yes, Senior Master.
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Japanese invaders, get out of here!
Japanese people, get lost!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Japanese invaders, get out of here!
Japanese people, get lost!
Leave here now or we will shoot!
We are Chinese. This is our territory.
Why do we have to listen to you?
That's right. Who says we should listen to you?
Japanese invaders, get out of here!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
This is China's territory.
- Retreat! - Japanese people, get lost!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Citizens of Chengzhou.
Dear Patriots, listen to me.
To avoid being injured,
- please leave now. - Why should we listen to you?
You are also Chinese.
The Japanese people are already at our door. What are you still doing?
Yes! You are just a coward!
Down with Japanese imperialism. Resist Japanese aggression.
Listen to me.
Everyone already heard.
Commander in Chief said that within a week,
he will give you an answer.
Please trust our Commander in Chief.
He will keep his word.
Please go back first.
Okay, we will trust him this time. We will give him a week
and see what he will do.
Everyone, let's disperse.
Let's disperse.
Let's go.
Jing Wan. Is it really you?
Is it really you?
Come with me.
- Let me go. - I'm not letting you go.
Let me go.
If I let you go, you will disappear.
I will discover that this is just a dream.
Let me go.
I promise you I won't disappear.
I have many things to tell you.
Jing Wan.
I have many things to say to you too.
Jing Wan. Do you know that
in my residence, I built an orchid nursery for you?
It's called Jing Garden.
Jing Garden...- And our Tianlin (rare orchid plant)
suddenly bloomed this morning.
When it bloomed,
I felt something special.
I suddenly knew that you would be back.
Do you know that
Heavens took pity on me
and brought you back to my side.
You misunderstood. I only came
to ask you to declare war against Japan
and defend the homeland. You cannot hesitate.
Do you still hate me?
Or are you still unwilling to forgive me?
It's already in the past.
I don't mind anymore. You don't need to apologise.
Why are you so cold to me? Why are you like a stranger to me?
Fourth Master. I'm not the Jing Wan from the past.
In the past I was fragile and small-minded.
But after having experienced much pain,
I am now very broad-minded.
I know that with the country at risk and on the verge of deep suffering,
my personal feelings are insignificant.
Please answer me.
Are you going to protect our country or not?
Who cares about national affairs?
I only want to ask you this.
Can you not leave me again?
Come with me.
Where are you taking me?
I'm taking you back to our past.
We are returning to Qiangping, where we spent our best time together.
I kept everything there unchanged.
Jing Wan. Let's start anew.
Okay?
You already know
we can't go back.
We really can't go back anymore.
