Far Away LoveEpisode 22
Why... at sister-in-law's place... do you still need to do these?
Didn't I already tell you earlier? Marriage is quite a fun thing.
These things are one of the sources of its fun.
James, I don't have any more appointments this afternoon, right?
- Then I'll get off work now.- Okay. I'll go prepare your car.
Brother Shen, you still haven't finished the food. You...
I'm full already. Thank you.
I'm rushing to go home so I'll be leaving first. Once you're done eating, James will dispatch a car to send you home.
Brother Shen!
How is it? I know what you're thinking.
A faucet can be this artistic too.
President Shen has really opened my eyes. Right?
Okay already. No need to thank me. For me, this is just as easy as lifting my hand.
Meng Xiang, later when you go downstairs, buy another new faucet, okay?
Why? Wait, wait.
I've really never seen this look in your eyes before.
The look in your eyes is filled with disgust.
Three meters distance, don't forget.
If I have to maintain a three meter distance from you within this house, I have to go beyond the wall already.
Tell me. What's wrong with this faucet?
President Shen, don't you feel that it totally doesn't fit with its surroundings?
Putting it there, is like having the shimmering Prince Shen
living in our house, totally not harmonious.
That's easy. I'll let James send men
to change everything and it'll be solved.
If that's the case, it's best that you change me and Meng Xiang too.
Meng Chu Xia, I really don't understand.
Even if at the start, allowing me to move in was against your will, but what have I brought to this house?
I brought a healthy lifestyle, delicious food,
and even became your son's good friend. So many benefits.
Then why do you still keep being so picky?
A little while, you suspect me of threatening Meng Xiang,
a little while, you're worried that I'm too near you.
Could it be that other than these, don't you feel that having a man in the house is quite nice too?
Who says that we don't have a man in our family? Isn't Meng Xiang one?
In our home, one man is enough. No need to add another one.
Slowly, you'll realize,
how important I am in this house.
Meng Xiang!
Meng Xiang, get up already! Meng Xiang!
Put these down.
Hey, you...
You usually change light bulbs like this?
I'll do it by myself.
It's dangerous to do it that way.
I know what your intention is.
Don't you just want me to admit that having a man in the house is beneficial?
Sorry to disappoint you. I don't feel that there's anything special about it.
For the past 10 years, everything in this house was done by me.
Without a man, we also were able to live quite well.
Don't forget, 3-meter distance.
The one who's forgetting is you. I never agreed with this keep distance thing.
Anyway, Meng Xiang isn't back yet from his revision class. Today, for every time you step up on that,
I'm going to carry you down.
I'm warning you. If you dare touch me again,
you must immediately move out!
What are you doing?
Since I can't touch you, but I still need to ensure your safety,
I can only protect you like this.
- Hello, Little Shadow.- Brother Shen,
my hand got scalded. It's really painful. What should I do?
Don't fret. Tell your chauffeur to take you to the hospital first. We'll meet there.
Okay.
What happened to Jia Ying?
Her hand's been scalded. I need to rush to the hospital to see her.
Why aren't you still leaving yet?
I don't want to have to, after visiting the one who got scalded, to immediately have to take care of the one who fell and got injured.
*
If there's any more dangerous chores, don't do it first. Wait for me to come back.
In this world, as long as it's not 100% pure love,
then there's a possibility of them breaking apart.
Little Shadow, are you willing to be that person who will break them apart?
Good thing, it's not that severe.
Don't wet that for several days. Watch your diet. It'll be ugly if it leaves a scar.
Brother Shen, luckily you're here. Or else, I'll be scared to death.
No big deal. Rest here for a while. I'll go pay the bill.
Hello, Jia Ying. I heard that your hand got scalded. Are you alright?
No big deal. Just a minor injury.
But it did made Brother Shen overly worried.
Sister-in-law, really sorry. It's already this late but I still made Brother Shen come out.
At first I just called him to ask how to do emergency first aid for scald burns.
Who would've thought that he'd insist on sending me to the hospital and refused to be persuaded against it?
Right now, he's gone to help me get my medication.
Later, he wants to send me home.
He might get home a little late.
Sister-in-law, you won't be angry, will you?
It's fine, Jia Ying. Please let him keep you company as long as you can.
If he doesn't come home, all the better.
Oh, right. If you want to look for your Brother Shen in the future, just do it as much as possible.
Especially after work, he has a lot of time.
If you need anything, just give me a call.
What does she mean by that? Is she being sarcastic?
Lontano, Restaurant-Club
You must be careful. Food sanitation is most important.
You must remember it well.
The success of this dessert is mainly determined by the butter and jam.
Hello, customer
Right now we aren't open yet. Also, we are prepping right now. It's not convenient for you to come in.
I'm here to find Meng Chu Xia
Chu Xia!
*
Fei Fei!
I will leave for a bit.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Why are you here?
I have something really important to tell you.
What is it?
I met him. I met my other half apple!
Really?
My dear, did you know?
I thought that I wouldn't be able to meet him in this lifetime. I thought that my fate would be such.
Who'd have thought that he'd suddenly appear like that.
Before I died of old age, I really met him!
Silly.
Previously, although I've always believed in the existence of one's other half of the apple,
but I've never experienced what that felt like.
Until I met him. That's when I knew what "match made in heaven" and "two hearts beating as one" mean.
Just one gaze and one smile, or even an unfinished sentence, and we can immediately guess what the other party wants to say.
That feeling of familiarity, it's like
you've known each other your whole life.
Fei Fei, looking at you now, I finally realise how badly you wanted this person to appear.
In the past, every time you had a failed relationships, you must have been very sad.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
For so long, I was not able to understand your true feelings.
I should have properly comforted you in the past. I'm sorry.
It's fine already.
As long as I'm able to meet that guy I'm destined to be with,
those unhappiness I suffered in the past won't mean anything.
Chu Xia, this is really great.
It's really great! The two of us now have already met our destined and most important man.
Fei Fei, yours is your most important man.
Mine is my most important enemy.
What's wrong?
You and Shen An fought again?
Let me remind you. The high school entrance exam is just a few days away. You'd better not have any disruptive ideas.
- Such as ideas of moving out.- I...
It's not like that.
Fei Fei, don't you feel that since I met Shen An, he always get to have the last word in everything.
It seems that I've never won against him in any of our arguments.
I'm even being forced to live according to his pace now.
Meng Chu Xia...
with your fighting strength, who do you think you can win against?
From head to toe, the only thing that you have that might have a little attack power is that... what's that called?
Dark cuisine, right?
But on the contrary, Shen An is definitely a mature version of Meng Xiang.
His attack power keeps increasing exponentially. Do you know?
The stupidest thing a person can do in his lifetime
is to put up meaningless resistance.
You'll be taking your exam in just a few days. Nervous?
It's still okay.
That... how's Yao Yao?
She's recovering quite well. She said that after your exam, she'll find time to see you.
- Really?- Uh-huh.
Here.
President Shen, recently, you've helped us a in a lot of things.
That's why, to show my gratitude, I specially made this dish for you.
Mom. Could this be... again?
Lift the cover.
Gosh. It's back again.
This is...?
This is a skill that I've never shown you, creative cuisine.
What I've prepared for President Shen today is my latest creation, Chocolate Cumin Eggplant. Please have a try.
Mom, how do you always manage to make these inedible things?
How is it inedible?
You can eat chocolate, can't you?
You can eat cumin as well, and eggplant as well. So you can definitely eat them when you put them together.
Please, eat.
Do you need me to help you call 120*?(*China's emergency hotline)
The taste is still okay.
It has a very interesting taste. The chocolate on the outside has already hardened, and match that with the soft eggplant... It's texture is quite good.
Then, please eat more.
Could it be that today, my mom...
I got tricked!
Since you like it so much, then from now on, I'll make it for you every day.
How about that?
Okay. Sure.
Let's see how long more you can act.
Are you thinking that those dishes... oh, what Meng Xiang calls "dark cuisine", will prank me and make me feel afraid?
- Ms. Meng Jing Xia (Horrifying)?- You are indeed faking it.
Just to beat me?
Prince Shen, who owns high-class restaurants, was actually able to endure it while keeping a straight face for so many days.
I was just able to see through your intention, but I didn't say that I was faking it.
Those dark dishes... although their taste is a little weird and unique,
but it's exactly because of that that makes you look forward to them.
I'm sorry. This cake...
It seems quite unique.
Once, by chance, I asked Chu Xia to chat with you for me. Who'd have thought
that you spoke more that day than you'd ever before. Hence, I shamefully asked her to help me.
In the end, it's true that you slowly got closer to me, but I didn't have the guts to tell you the truth.
And also, that rainbow cake that touched you was also made by Chu Xia.
Sometimes, life is like the dishes you make. You don't know what the next taste will be like.
Ah!
For example, did you ever think that we would have a night together like this?
What kind of night? What are you planning?
Meng Chu Xia, what are you thinking of doing?
Isn't this reaction of yours too exaggerated?
Shh! Did you hear that?
There's noise coming from outside.
Let me do it.
Can you do it?
Don't cut me.
- I'll be going to my revision class now.- Okay. Be careful.
Oh, right. When you go downstairs, make sure not to get frightened by that little cat.
You're talking about Xiao Mi? Who will be frightened by such a little cat?
Could you keep what happened last night a secret?
Don't worry,
I definitely won't tell all the employees at the restaurant
that Prince Shen was scared so badly by a cat that he ran to hide behind a cupboard.
Neither will I tell Manager Wu that Prince Shen was scared so badly by a cat that he ran to hide behind a cupboard.
- and Mr. Zhan--- That's enough.
How many times do you have to say it?
Ah, right, there's also Senior Teddy.
Don't worry, I definitely won't specially call Senior Teddy to tell him
that Prince Shen was scared so badly by a cat--
Karma.
Come over and help me, can you? Help me push this back.
If I'm not understanding it wrongly, are you begging with me? But I have a condition.
When Meng Xiang comes back, the both of us can fix this too.
We aren't discussing conditions anymore?
Hurry and move aside. If you miss this chance, it won't wait for you.
Promise that you won't tell anyone about the cat incident last night.
Let's see my mood.
Meng Chu Xia, you are blushing.
Hello. Would you like to order?
I'll order later.
Why are you blushing?
- Hello, Little Shadow.- Brother Shen, I'm eating outside,
but I realised that I forgot my wallet only after they served the food.
I can't get through my chauffeur's phone.
Could you come pick me up?
There are some matters that I have to take care of at home, I will send James to help you.
Jia Ying, your Brother Shen is going to go there right now. Give him a while.
Meng Chu Xia, you are blushing.
I think this is a blessing in disguise. Even though I forgot my wallet,
but in exchange, I managed to have a meal with Brother Shen outside.
It's really hard to come by.
Brother Shen, you're not eating? It's not up to your taste?
I'm not hungry. This restaurant serves food rather slowly.
I thought that you would have finished eating by the time I got here.
Why? Brother Shen doesn't even have the patience to sit with me for a while now?
Little Shadow's temper seems to have worsened.
Who asked some people to be so cold to me lately.
But still thanks to Brother Shen for saving me.
I should say, that all thanks to Sister-in-law for saving me.
Brother Shen, Sister-in-law seems to be really different from others.
She doesn't seem like a married woman at all. She's really magnanimous.
She doesn't care at all whether or not you go home.
Chu Xia... keeps all her love for me stored in the bottom of her heart,
and doesn't show it on the outside.
Why are you blushing?
Why am I like this? It must be because that I haven't interacted with men for too long.
- Mrs. Shen.- Manager Wu.
Are you sick? Why is your face getting more and more flushed?
I applied too much blush today.
Manager Wu, why are you calling me Mrs. Shen again?
I'm just not accustomed.
Oh, right, Chu XIa, this is your pay slip this month. Take a look at it.
Thanks you, Manager.
Why so much?
Manger, it isn't because I'm Shen An's wife, that's why...
Don't worry. President has already instructed
to treat you the same as other employees. Here, look at these and you'll understand.
Everyone's gotten a pay rise?
That's right. Didn't you know, Chu Xia?
Last week, the corporation underwent a change in policies,
and increased employee's performance pay and welfare.
Also, didn't you realise these past couple days?
The two people with the worst performance last month, Xiao Min and Xiao Qiang, haven't been coming to work.
They were advised to resign, haven't they?
No. Based on the new policy, there is still the policy of elimination by competition.
But the employee with the worst performance
still has the chance to train and to return to their post.
Xiao Min and Xiao Qiang went to the main company to train. They'll be back after a few days.
Right now, the corporation is becoming more and more considerate for employees.
Our co-workers are all very happy.
Looks like, he took all my suggestions to heart.
So it was you who gave President these suggestions?
Mrs. Shen is really Mrs. Shen. You really have great power.
It's not me. I didn't do anything.
It's the President who's grateful for everyone's contribution to Shen Group, that's why he made these changes.
But to tell you the truth, Chu Xia,
since our President married you, he's completely changed.
Initially, our employees both respected and feared him. Do you know what the employees are saying now?
They say that the distance between the President and them is getting closer and closer.
Manager, President is here to check on our work.
Then Mrs. Shen, I'll go take a look.
Go do what you need to do first.
Could it be because of our raise in pay?
President looks especially handsome today.
Are you alright?
You even dare to drool over President while in front of Mrs. Shen?
Don't you feel that there's something wrong with President's facial muscles?
It's like it's always that expression. It's never changed.
Did you see that? Did you see that? President smiled!
So he knows how to smile...
When he smiles, it's so gentle. He's so charming.
He's so charming.
Did I just smile?
I've gone crazy.
Manager, go do what you need to do first.
President.
It's already time for the next meeting.
Oh, right. Go and prepare the car first.
Okay then. I'll go prepare the car.
Why did I suddenly smile like that to her earlier?
Crazy. Crazy. I've totally gone crazy.
Hello, welcome. May I ask if you have any reservations?
I'm here to look for...
Inform the kitchen to hurry with the lobster soup for Table Three.
Xiao Nan, the candle on Table Four is almost out. Come out and change it.
And also, Table Seven just added an order of chocolate raspberry tart. Don't forget.
Senior Teddy!
You are...
I was a little busy with work recently. I kind of miss...
miss the dishes here. Why? Am I not welcome?
How is that possible? Table for how many?
- Two, me and you.- Huh?
Don't be nervous. I just want to discuss something with you.
What a coincidence.
Fei Fei? Ah... this is?
You must be Fei Fei's best friend, Chu Xia, right?
The handsome guy beside you who's fine-looking, elegant and refined,
must be the Senior Teddy that Fei Fei's frequently talks about.
You are that other half of the apple that Fei Fei talked about, right?
That's right. It's my honor to be able to be Fei Fei's other half of the apple.
I'm so glad to meet you guys. My name is Wei Zheng De.
Hello.
How about this, Fei Fei. Teddy and I will go look for seats.
- I'll give your girlfriend 3 minutes to evaluate with you her first impression of me, okay?- Okay.
Okay. Teddy, this way please.
How is he?
Really not bad.
It's like he just walked out of that commercial.
Say, those "uncle-obsessed" girls like this type of guy the most, right?
Isn't he a little more gentle than Shen An?
A little more mature than Senior Teddy?
Ding Fei's Mr. Right must be of this caliber.
Look how pleased you are with yourself.
And also, he gave the two of us space to talk about him.
He's really quite considerate.
Regarding how good he is, you've only just seen the tip of the iceberg.
After I sent my customer to the hotel,
I received his call asking me out to eat supper with him.
On my way to meet him, I was repeatedly listening to a male singer's song.
The atmosphere was so romantic.
Oh, right, what's the name of that male singer again?
How come my mind suddenly went blank. The one that's really tall...
Shin.
Right. Right. Right. I was indeed talking about him.
Wow, Mr. Wei, the attribute of being tall is so vague
but you can still guess it right away?
No need to guess.
When she said it, that's the first name that came to my mind.
Fei Fei and my thoughts are on the same speed. Usually...
I'll say the first half of a sentence and he completes the second half.
This is too magical.
- That's why, this is called- a match made in heaven.
Oh my!
Do you guys want a glass of peach wine?
You can sense that too?
That's right. I, too, took a bite of this mashed potato earlier,
and felt that it'd be great if it was paired with peach wine.
I'm a little envious already.
I'm also quite envious.
Fei Fei, seeing that you're so blissful, I'm really happy.
Fei Fei, do you still remember what I said before?
I said that the person that you're waiting for must be rushing over as fast as he can.
Look. Isn't he here now?
Come.
Wish you guys happiness.
Say, why are you guys in such a hurry? You're leaving so soon.
There's nothing we can do. He's rushing off on a business trip and needs to catch his flight.
Chu Xia, come over here for a while.
We'll just say a few words.
Women...
- What is it?- I want to remind you.
This is Shen An's restaurant after all.
You and Senior Teddy should pay more attention when you guys meet each other.
What are you saying?
Senior and I are just normal friends.
Besides,
even if there's anything between us,
what's it got to do with Shen An?
It's not like you don't know the truth.
I know. In your eyes, this wedding is fake.
But in others' eyes, Shen An is really being made a cuckold.
If you get photographed by someone else,
and it gets posted on the internet,
the headlines tomorrow will be that the new Mrs. Shen
was having a rendezvous with an IT nouveau rich. Let's see what you'll do.
Would... would it be that exaggerated?
Anyway, I'll just leave my good advice here. It's up to you whether or not you listen to it.
I'm pressed for time. Got to go now. Let's go
- Let's go.- Okay.
Teddy, Chu Xia,
if there's a chance next time, we should get together again.
- Bye bye.- Bye bye.
Bye bye.
Only now do I know what it means to be a match made in heaven.
That's right. Not everyone can be that lucky.
Isn't Shen An your match made in heaven*? (*literally made by heaven, arranged by earth)
He's my complete chaos*.(*turn heaven and earth upside down)
Love to the point of complete chaos?
Senior, didn't you say that you wanted to talk to me about something?
You don't need to prepare dinner tonight. I won't be eating at home.
I happen to pass by Brother Shen's restaurant. I'll just be eating here.
Who knows, I might even bump into Brother Shen.
I won't talk to you for now.
Previously at Shen Group Corporation, I saw you arguing with Shen An.
And then I saw you became very down because you weren't able to change him.
I also heard you say
that if not for the status of Mrs. Shen, you wouldn't stay at Shen Group.
That's why, when I got back, I asked one of my friends.
He happens to have a company that's currently hiring.
Chu Xia, if you're not happy working at Shen Group Corporation,
you can go to my friend's company and give it a try.
It's a transnational company, so it won't be degrading to your status as Mrs. Shen.
As for Shen An's side, I can talk to him.
He's someone who is able to keep work and personal matters separate. I believe--
Senior, thank you for always being so considerate towards me.
Even those grumbles that I normally just use to vent my emotions, you take them to heart.
I really...
feel a little overwhelmed.
It's true that I'm someone without much talents and ambitions.
In the past,
as long as it's a job that can earn me money for Meng Xiang, I'd be willing to do it.
This standard,
hasn't been changed even after marrying Shen An.
You're about to say 'but' already, right?
Working at the restaurant these past period,
I discovered
that as long as customers get to eat delicious food,
they will express a simple and satisfied smile.
This happiness has nothing to do with being successful or failing.
It's the simplest and most primitive type of happiness.
And I... have been infected by this happiness already.
That's why you can't bear to leave this place any more, is that right?
Actually, when I arrived earlier today,
and I saw you concentrating on your work,
I already have this premonition.
In the first place, I was here to help you solve your troubles.
But now that the trouble has passed,
I'm at ease too. As long as you're happy,
regardless of what choice you make,
I will always support you.
Thank you, Senior.
Shall we go in?
Only putting them up now, isn't it too late?
This is not for you to see. It's for me.
There's only seven days left till your high school entrance exam.
Seven days... I've already set a battle plan.
First, it's the nutritional food recipes for these seven days.
Meng Xiang, look at it later. Remember to tell me if you still want to eat anything else.
Oh right. I still need to do a major grocery shopping trip.
This grocery list... I must organize it later.
Meng Xiang, you must not be nervous. Got it?
Don't know who's feeling more nervous right now?
Meng Xiang, I made you ginseng chicken soup.
Wait! Don't anyhow destroy my nutritional recipe.
For these seven days, everything he eats needs to be suitably paired and planned.
How can drinking an extra bowl of soup affect his grades too?
Touch wood! Touch wood! During special times,
in this house, unlucky words like that are not allowed to be said.
Shen An, from now on,
I hope that every word you say
can be positive and motivational, and full of positive energy.
Aren't you being too sensitive?
If you act this way, it'll put more pressure on the examinee instead.
Who says so? In these last few days, we must not miss any small detail.
I'm warning you, don't be a pig-like teammate,
and drag Meng Xiang and me down.
Meng Chu Xia, why are you being more and more discourteous with me?
Am I? Did you feel it?
I should go ask that small cat downstairs.
Brother Shen...
Brother Shen, what should I do? What should I do?
Auntie Qiao is here.
What happened?
That... Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry.
I was too anxious. I was a little disrespectful.
It's nothing, nothing. You're being too polite. It's nothing, nothing.
If you're in such a hurry, couldn't you've just called?
I did. I called a lot of times!
But... the call just couldn't get through.
Brother Shen, what should I do? My computer crashed.
The pictures of us since we first met till now are all inside it.
I'm so scared. Will you accompany me to go take a look at it?
I'm not an expert on this matter either. How about if I help you get a professional--
You can find people who know how to fix computers everywhere.
But I'm really very afraid. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find those memories of ours anymore.
Even if I'm going to ask someone else to repair it,
Brother Shen, can you still please stay by my side?
Sister-in-law... since young, I was all by myself in the States,
my parents were both out working.
In this city, Brother Shen is my only family.
Luckily Sister-in-law is magnanimous, always allowing Brother Shen to accompany me.
Or else, I really wouldn't know what to do.
It's nothing, nothing, You're being too polite.
It's what I should do. It's all what I should do.
Thank you, Sister-in-law.
It-It's nothing.
