Xiao Tong resigned!
I look forward to seeing a Guan Xiao Tong
who started her life anew and lives for herself.
Jia Wei!
Ji Jia Wei and the ring should be returned to the rightful owner.
She thought we got back together? Why didn't you explain to her?
Explaining is your job, not mine, okay?
She's going on a business trip to Jiayi for two days.
Go figure something out yourself.
Excuse me, I'm staying in room 307. Can you take me to the third floor?
Sir, thank you.
There are tours for scenic spots near your hotel. It's worth a look.
Didn't you give up your spot for me?
But I just needed to think of a way to get someone else to give me their spot.
My hand.
I've gotten off work and am at home.
Are you still working on your report?
I've already started my life anew.
So you need to learn to say goodbye.
Why do you always decide the result before even trying?
This is my Murphy's destiny.
Guan Xiao Tong, are you willing to take a gamble with me?
Whether we'll be able to see the sunrise today.

[Murphy's Law of Love]
Episode 18
The seminar went well.
Our report got a lot good responses.
I've also exchanged contact information with some doctors here.
They said they'll send over related information.
When are you coming back?
Xiao Tong? Xiao Tong?
I'll head back after I pack up and check out.
I'll tell you about the other things when I get back.
Bye.
You really don't care about me at all?
I've already started my life anew.
So you need to learn to say goodbye
and learn to start over as well.
Why do you always decide the result before even trying?
Let's go, Polo.
Polo!
Excuse me, have you seen a shiba inu that's about this big?
- No. - Thanks.
Excuse me, sir, have you seen a shiba inu that's about this big?
This big?
- No, I haven't seen one. - Thanks.
Polo!
Polo.
Where did you go?
Polo!
Weird. Why aren't Mom and Dad home right now?
Where did they go?
[Ji Jia Wei]
- Hello? - Polo is missing.
Do you know where he could have gone?
Polo is missing?
Why are you here?
Have you found Polo?
It's all my fault.
I was distracted and didn't have the leash on tightly enough.
Polo normally doesn't just run off.
You've already looked in all the places he usually goes to?
The bracelet!
Doesn't Polo really like the bracelet's sound?
Dogs have sharper ears than humans.
Maybe he's hiding in a place that we can't see him
but if he hears a sound that he likes, he'll know that we're looking for him.
I'll stay here and look for him.
You go home and get the bracelet.
You should do it.
He listens to you more.
Polo!
Polo! Where are you?
Polo!
- Polo! - Polo!
Polo!
Come out, Polo!
What do we do?
We've already walked up and down this road so many times.
If Polo could hear the sound, he would've showed up.
Where did he go?
Maybe he'll recognize the way home.
I think we should go home and rest for now.
But he's so afraid of strangers.
He's now in a place he's not familiar with.
Everyone around him is a stranger.
He must be really, really scared.
Polo!
Don't worry.
Polo is a registered dog.
We'll definitely be able to find him.
But Polo used to be a stray dog.
He's lost again.
He must be hiding somewhere, trembling with fear.
When I think of how scared he must be
I can't hold myself together.
Hey.
Look at me.
Remember I told you that as long as we persevere until the end
we'll get what we want?
I'm sure Polo will come back.
Do you believe me?
Then don't cry, okay?
I'll take you home.
Careful!
Thank you... for coming out to help me look for Polo.
Remember to text me when Polo comes back, okay?
Dad, how come you're cleaning?
Where's Mom?
You're back.
Why are you here?
Where are my parents?
Your mom isn't feeling well, so I'm stayed to help.
Not feeling well?
Where is she? How is her condition?
Your mom took her medication and is sleeping now.
What's going on? Is it serious?
It's just the chronic illness.
She just fainted at night.
I didn't know what to do.
Zi Yan just happened to come over to give us something
so he took us to the hospital.
When we came back, he cooked dinner for us
so that I could take care of your mom at ease.
We're lucky he was here today.
Normally, you don't feel it.
But once something happens at home
having an able-bodied man at home really makes one feel at ease.
It's okay.
Your mom is fine.
Don't worry.
It's getting late.
Xiao Tong must be tired after coming back from her trip.
Mr. Guan, I'll leave now.
I'll come over tomorrow to visit Mrs. Guan.
Thank you so much for today.
Don't mention it.
I'll go upstairs to look after your mom.
I'll leave Zi Yan to you.
Okay.
Relax.
With me, you don't have to force yourself to smile.
I know you must be exhausted.
I'm sorry.
When I came home, I got a call from Ji Jia Wei saying Polo was missing.
I left hurriedly to help him.
I have such bad luck.
Every time my mom needs me, I'm never there.
You're too strict with yourself.
You didn't know what happened.
Besides, I'm here.
Why is it that whenever it's something that has to do with Ji Jia Wei
I can't stay calm?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be telling you this.
It's okay.
I'm happy that you're willing to tell me how you truly feel.
It means you're honest with me and trust me.
And if you could forget someone you loved just like that
you wouldn't be Guan Xiao Tong.
But this isn't fair to you.
I'm happy that you're starting to care about how I feel.
Until you can fully let go of this relationship
I hope that I can be by your side and help you get through it.
So that together, we can find the smile that I remember and captured in 'First.'
If you feel pressured
you can just tell me. It's okay.
I'll be your best friend until then, okay?
Jia Wei.
What are you three doing here?
Jia Wei, my wife discovered my texts with new friends
and kicked me out of the house. You must take me in tonight!
It's okay, I can sleep on the bed.
Yes, yes!
And the client for the divorce party on Saturday wants to cancel.
I couldn't get in touch with you, so I was waiting for you here.
And we already paid for the restaurant
but it's past the deadline for when we can cancel.
The restaurant won't give us a refund, so I have to discuss this with you.
Yes, yes! It's very important!
You guys are so dedicated to your work.
- Of course. - We have to work hard.
Then I'll confirm with those guests.
I'll coordinate with the restaurant manager.
You guys came over for this?
Jia Wei, do you have any ice?
Isn't my gaze icy enough?
Jia Wei, you're so funny.
Hey.
Shouldn't you guys be leaving?
Jia Wei, since we're all here, we should all have a drink.
And you don't have to look after us.
It's okay if we sleep on the floor.
What are you saying?
You don't have to work tomorrow?
I'll go get the glasses!
Yes, yes!
- I'll go get the ice. - Just a moment.
Hey.
Live in the moment.
Here.
Jia Wei.
Here, a toast for our company on becoming more and more prosperous!
Cheers!
I want to give a toast too.
I hope that no matter what difficulties Jia Wei encounters
he'll overcome each and every one of them.
Do you have to use the word 'guan'?
And you said it five times!
I can't use the word 'guan'.
Oh sorry! My bad.
I'll definitely never mention the word 'guan'.
Cheers! Cheers!
Drink, drink! Cheers! Cheers!
Honey, when are you coming back from comforting your boss?
Is this considered overtime?
You three...
What's this about getting caught texting?
Divorce party getting canceled?
Not getting a refund from the restaurant?
Were they all lies?
How is that possible...
Okay, Xi Men lied to you.
An Ting and I were telling the truth. It just wasn't that urgent.
Then why are you here at my house?
Don't tell me, you wanted to keep me company.
Jia Wei, we're not just colleagues
we're also friends.
Yeah, you can tell us anything.
We might not be able to help, but we're happy to listen.
Boss, you know that I'm tight-lipped.
So no matter what happens
if you tell me, it'll stay a secret.
Thank you.
With me here, how can we not keep drinking?
Raise your class and drink!
Here, cheers!
That's right!
I'll go buy some more beer.
Who's keeping who company?
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have felt so touched earlier.
You said you came here to drink with me. But no one has the tolerance.
What the heck?
Don't leave!
What are you doing?
Jia Wei.
Don't be sad.
How am I sad?
Although I've never experienced any of the things you've experienced
I know that your heart must hurt a lot.
But you have such a big ego
and love pretending like you're okay.
We can't comfort you even if we want to.
I don't need you guys to comfort me.
See? See?
You're always like this.
You'll make the people by your side feel really lonely, you know?
When we don't know what you're thinking
we'll think about the worst case scenario.
It makes us worry even more.
And it makes us...
makes us unable to tell you the truth.
Jia Wei, aren't we friends?
What truth?
Huh?
Wake up you!
Hey!
I won't tell you even if you kill me.
The truth is that Polo is missing.
We were worried that you'd be depressed at home alone.
Xiao Tong told us not to tell you that she was the one who told us.
Huh?
What did I just say?
So in your eyes
I'm worrisome when I'm like this.
Because I'm worrisome like this
the people by my side can't tell me the truth?
Dad.
Why did Mom leave right after she came back?
Do you really not know what's going on?
Yeah.
I...
How could I know?
Can you tell me what happened to her?
And...
How did you know she needed money?
Some truths
even if you choose not to tell me
I'm not an eight year old child anymore.
I have the ability to find the answer.
[Mama Ji]
Hello? Hello?
Who is this?
Who is calling?
Hello?
This voice...
Where have I heard it before?
I'll stay here and look for him.
You go home and get the bracelet.
I never would have thought that he kept the bracelet with him.
Don't worry, Jia Wei is safe at home.
It's just that Xi Men, An Ting, and I
will only be able to stay with him for a few days.
After that, it'll all depend on himself.
That won't work.
Polo is missing.
How can Ji Jia Wei be alone?
With your wife by your side, your condition has gotten better.
Okay, I don't have any other questions.
You can go to the next room.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[Polo missing]
Ji Jia Wei has been through a few days without Polo.
I wonder how he's doing.
I should go see him.
Just for a bit.
I can't.
It's too weird if I suddenly go see him.
How about I bring the ring to return it to him?
There's a restaurant that we must go eat at.
- Their cheeseburger... - Your treat?
My treat again?
You...
Hi.
Xiao Tong.
Where is Ji Jia Wei?
I have something to give him.
- Jia Wei... - He didn't come to work.
Why not?
- He... - We don't know why.
He just...
went missing.
Missing?
How long has he been missing?
You guys haven't contacted him?
Did something happen to him?
It's useless.
He won't pick up.
I don't know where Jia Wei went.
We're really scared
scared that he'll have suicidal thoughts.
You haven't contacted his dad or the police?
I'm afraid... that it's too late!
Xiao Tong!
- Don't go after her. - Xiao Tong.
Why did Xiao Tong leave in such a hurry?
What did she come here for?
What else would she come here for? Of course it's to see Jia Wei.
Jia Wei has been in Hong Kong for a few days. Didn't you tell her?
Yeah, why did you do that?
That's why I say you two are unskilled.
Since Xiao Tong is worrying about Jia Wei all on her own
of course we have to scare her a bit and make her nervous.
Then she'll know how important he is to her.
But speaking of her
when Dr. Love is dating she's just like any other person.
She's not that smart.
Ji Jia Wei!
Ji Jia Wei, where did you go?
Why won't you pick up?
Xiao Tong.
Polo, let's go.
Slow down.
Let's go.
Polo isn't here either.
I shouldn't have left you all alone.
Ji Jia Wei.
I'm sorry.
I turned my phone off after I got on the plane
so I didn't get your call.
Guan Xiao Tong, you must be really tired.
I finally know
how hard it must have been for you to face me back then.
Did you already know
that I'm an illegitimate child?
So you really did.
So you know now?
It must have been really hard to keep that secret.
Now that I think about it
I probably started caring a lot about saying proper goodbyes
from the moment my mother left me.
Ji Jia Wei.
Back then, I could only accept that she left me.
But I'm an adult now.
I can decide on my own now.
My mom left again after coming back.
I knew there must have been a reason.
So I flew to Hong Kong
to see my dad.
Coming.
Jia Wei.
What a surprise.
What's up? Are you in Hong Kong for a business trip?
I came to see you.
Wow! That's rare.
In the past, when I wanted to see you, I had to go to you.
What's up this time? You flew over to see me?
Polo went missing yesterday.
I looked for him all night and couldn't find him.
Did you call the police?
Ah, no. What about you? Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Hello, Hank? I won't be coming in to work today.
Yes, please cancel the meeting. That's all.
Dad, you can go to work. Don't mind me.
No, no, it's nothing.
But you...
Good thing you came to see me.
I'm worried that you'll be like last time...
that you'll go missing.
Compared to worrying about Polo...
the people around me are even more worried about me.
Xiao Tong had been busy with work for the past few days.
As soon as she came back to Taipei, she went to look for Polo with me.
My employees couldn't care less about buttoning up the wrong way
wearing different shoes
or wearing pajamas
and all came to my house to comfort me.
Just like how you reacted just now.
You guys all think that I can't handle the blow
so you hide things from me
and don't dare to tell me about them.
- Jia Wei. - Dad.
Maybe I'm not mature enough
but from today on, regardless if it's a good or bad thing
I'll make sure I'll be okay.
Please believe me.
Yesterday, I...
called Mom's US number.
A man picked up.
Does Mom... have another man?
That's your mom's legal husband.
Hello?
- Hello? - Hello?
Can you tell your mom to answer?
Who are you?
Well...
Hey, I said
I will go back, okay? I'm willing to.
So don't call this number again, okay?
No wonder
I thought I had heard that man's voice before.
When I met your mom...
they were separated.
They were about to get divorced.
When I found out
I had already fallen in love with your mom.
Later on, I got busy with work
and didn't spend enough time at home.
And at that time
your mom and I started quarreling.
Of course, that made me want to go home less.
I remember that you were never home.
But what hurt
was that your mom wanted to divorce with her husband in the US
because he was always busy at work.
The irony is
when her husband's business failed
she went back to him.
Then...
You didn't try to make her stay?
I did.
I... gave her some conditions.
I said, 'I can help your husband.'
'But the condition is that you must leave... Jia Wei.'
God.
She actually agreed!
I was wrong.
I really regret it.
I overlooked you.
You were innocent in all this.
I overlooked how much you needed a mom by your side as you grew up.
It's okay.
There's no instruction manual for being a parent.
Besides, you raised me all by yourself all these years.
It must have been harder for you than it was for me.
I'm sorry, Jia Wei.
I'm sorry for causing you this regret in life.
It was my fault.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I'm strong.
After knowing the truth...
I don't think it's that bad.
On the other hand, if I never found out
I would not be able to recover completely.
Child...
You're so strong.
Yep.
This is my strength.
Dad, it's been so many years.
We've gotten past it.
It won't be a problem in the future either.
It's okay.
What surprised me was that
on the night I found out the truth
it was the best night's sleep I've had in a month.
Maybe after realizing that things can't get worse than this
I felt calm.
I didn't mean to hide this thing about Mama Ji from you.
Seeing how happy you two were
I didn't know how to tell you.
Why are you so foolish?
Even though I'd get hurt
I would have found out about this eventually.
How long could you have protected me for?
I'm sorry.
I didn't make you believe that I could to handle all this.
That's why I made things difficult for you.
My dad already told me.
You called him.
You're going back to Taipei alone?
Will you be okay?
Why wouldn't I be okay?
You know what I'm asking.
Polo is missing.
You and Xiao Tong broke up.
Hey, your house in Taipei is big.
You won't feel lonely?
Aren't we similar?
We both focus on work
and aren't affected by other things.
Actually...
Actually, Xiao Tong called me.
She already knew about your mom.
She called me to discuss what to do.
I convinced her not to tell you.
I struggled like she did over this.
I can see that she really cares about you.
I finally understand
what you were saying when you broke up with me.
Maybe it's because you met me that your life became so hard.
Even when breaking up
we couldn't clarify things.
I blamed you for not being honest enough.
I was also wrong.
I didn't show you enough respect.
I wasn't completely honest with you about my feelings
and wanted to break up with you.
I thought this was a good way to separate.
Since I know that you're okay now
I should leave.
Will you really be okay at home alone?
Should I ask Shao Qiang to come over to keep you company?
It's okay.
But...
are you in a hurry to leave?
Can you stay a bit longer?
What do you think Polo thought of us
when he laid down here?
He probably thought you were really childish.
You always called me over.
You know, when you went to Hualian on your business trip
Polo was really considerate, and was by my side the whole time.
Otherwise, in your huge and empty house
I wouldn't have been able to stay so long alone.
Actually, on the night that you broke up with me
Polo spent the night with me in bed.
Because he was by my side the whole time
I realized that I spent the whole day in bed.
Good thing he was there.
So I had to get up and get him food
and take him for a walk.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten better so soon.
Most of the time, it looks like we're taking care of Polo.
But actually
it seems like Polo is taking care of us.
Over the past few days, I keep thinking
about what it was like
when I last held him.
When was the last time I petted him?
I really, really miss him.
Have you thought about
what you would do
if Polo never comes back?
I won't give up.
No matter how long it takes
this spot will always be for Polo.
I know you're a very loyal person.
Maybe Polo is on his way home.
Guan Xiao Tong.
What about you?
I need to go to the bathroom.
What am I doing?
Guan Xiao...
[Xiang Zi Yan]
Are you willing to make a bet with me?
Whether we'll be able to see the sunrise today.
If you win, I'll take back the ring.
If you lose, don't ever use Murphy
as an excuse to not be courageous.
So you won't admit defeat.
You plan on giving back the ring to me.
Well...
It's getting late.
I'll leave now.
Wait.
Didn't you say
that you had something to give me?
I came today to give you back your ring.
So?
Do you insist on giving it back to me?
This ring is yours.
I shouldn't have it.
Then, I'll leave now.
Xiao Ling isn't doing well lately.
She's not making any progress with chemotherapy.
She's discouraged.
She doesn't want to do any surgeries.
She even avoids me and doesn't want to see me
so I was wondering if I could ask you to help her.
I understand.
I'll find some time to go see her.
Okay, thank you.
Come in.
Is the family of the patient in 316 here?
That's me. What's wrong?
The patient is missing.
You and Ah Da need a divorce party?
You guys are doing well. Why are you getting a divorce?
What happened?
Do you know the feeling of possibly dying at any moment?
You don't have to worry.
Ah Da and we all will be by your side.
But I don't know how much longer we'll have to be like this.
While I still have the strength
I want to have a happy ending with Ah Da.
Ah Da won't agree to this.
Please help me okay?
[Ah Da]
Hello, Ah Da.
Jia Wei, did Xiao Ling contact you?
She's here with me.
Slow down.
Xiao Tong, why are you...
Ah Da came to see me about Xiao Ling's condition.
How long are you going to keep avoiding me?
Why can't you discuss things with me first?
Ah Da...
let's get a divorce.
I don't understand.
Did I do something wrong?
Is it that serious that we have to divorce?
How long has it been since you slept in a bed and had a good night's sleep?
How long has it been since you've had the chance to eat out at a restaurant?
Why are you talking about these things?
Didn't we say that we'd face all our challenges together?
I know it's hard for you to accept.
But don't you know that if we stay together
we'll just become more and more exhausted
because we keep worrying about each other?
Get up.
Sit.
Ah Da.
I'll ask you a simple question.
Have you thought about what your days will be like in five or ten years?
I believe that you two love each other.
But what Xiao Ling is worried about are the problems of the future.
For men, you guys are always in the present.
But for women, they think about the future.
I believe that you struggled a lot to make this decision.
But Ah Da, please remember what she needs isn't just a companion.
She needs your understanding even more.
Xiao Ling, you also need to remember
this is something between two people.
You can't make the decision alone.
Xiao Tong.
Have you thought about
what we'd be like five or ten years from now if we stayed together?
Honestly, being with you
I was really happy when I was happy.
I was really sad when I was sad.
My feelings were always going up and down.
Maybe you once thought about what we'd be like in the future.
But at that time
I couldn't really imagine it.
So that's what it was.
You know
I'm really stupid.
I never really know how to make the people I care about happy.
I just know how to keep holding them tighter and tighter
and force my thoughts on them
so that they lived according to my ways.
I didn't realize
how much pressure I gave you with this kind of love.
Don't think like that.
Every relationship has its challenges.
It's definitely not your own problem.
But our problems
were mostly my problems.
Because of Zhi Yu, and my mom.
You suffered because of these things.
You never fought with me
and never defended yourself.
I once thought I could make you happy
but I never thought
that I made it so hard for you to love.
It was only after I saw Ah Da and Xiao Ling
that I finally understand
sometimes, breaking up isn't because we no longer love each other
but letting go
so that we can live better lives.
Xiao Tong
don't worry.
From now on
I won't be ignorant and bother you like I did in the past.
From now on
you're finally free.
Don't cry.
I told you, it's important to say a proper goodbye and leave on good terms.
This time...
I can finally smile and say goodbye to you.
Why is it that
we learned so much from this relationship
but we can only use what we learned on the next person we're with.
Yeah.
It's so not worth it.
I'll miss you a lot.
A lot.
Me too.
But promise me...
you'll live a good life.
I'm home.
Then, I'll leave you now.
Take care.
Hello?
What?
Xiao Tong!
They found Polo.
Miss, where is he?
Over there! I'll take you there.
Over there.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Polo!
- Polo! - Polo!
- Polo, did anything happen to you?
Let me see.
Good thing nothing happened to you.
But it looks like you lost weight.
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
Let's go home, okay?
Polo, why are you here?
Hey! You little brat!
You came here for a date?
You rascal.
You made us worry about you for so many days because of a woman? That's despicable.
You!
So you really can get what you want if you persevere until the end.
Polo, let's go home.
Let's go.
Polo, let's go.
It's really late.
Work on it tomorrow.
It's okay. Just a little bit longer.
Dad...
have you thought about retiring?
You're willing to take over my business?
90.
91.
92.
93.
94.
95.
96.
Guan Xiao Tong, what's wrong with you?
Polo is back.
Ji Jia Wei has changed.
He can face all of his own problems.
Everything that happened was good.
You should be smiling.
Smile with all your might.
Smile happily.
Smiling like this.
I'll miss you a lot.
Me too.
But promise me
you'll live a good life.
98.
99.
100.
101.
Polo.
Go slower.
Why are you going so fast? Are you going on a date?
Let me tell you, the next time you go on a date remember to bring me.
Don't think about going on your own.
Isn't that the dog on the bulletin?
Yeah, it looks like it.
[Looking for a missing dog]
Guan Xiao Tong.
So it was you.
The Renew Agency of Divorce is closing.
I miss it.
Ji Jia Wei! Ji Jia Wei!
This time, I won't care about the result.
Only if I try will I not regret it.
Guan Xiao Tong.
