[Episode 38]
Ding Man Yi.
Ding Man Yi, why are you walking so fast?
Hey, stop there.
What's going on?
Do you know I was very worried about you today?
I was looking for you all day.
Why did you run off?
I don't want to go back with you. I don't want to go home either.
I don't want to see Dad or you!
I'm not going to worry about you. I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day.
Good thing I have a small sandwich.
I know you're hungry too, but I'm not going to share it with you.
If you'll go home with me, I'll consider taking you somewhere to eat.
Otherwise, you can go hungry.
You're really eating it?
You're the one who said you didn't want it.
You're starting to bully me too.
I'm not bullying you.
I know you really dislike me.
It's because you think I'm just like the evil stepmothers in those fairytales.
There's no helping it though.
I love your father and he loves me.
I will marry him one day.
If you love your dad, then please give me a chance.
We can try to be friends and try to understand each other.
- Otherwise-- - Otherwise, what will you do to me?
Bully me like the mean kids do in school?
Drink to your heart's content.
I'll do the same.
Just what I want. Drink!
This doesn't make sense though.
Shouldn't you be a beautiful mermaid swimming in the sea of love right now?
How come you're like a lone wolf roaming about and seeking prey?
Zhi Wei...
Have you thought about marriage?
Li Dong Ye proposed to you?
Wow, he moves fast.
That's good news. Congratulations. When do you plan on having the wedding?
Are you going to live in Beijing or abroad after getting married?
I'm not going to get married.
If I don't get married, I have the whole world.
After I get married, he'll be all I have. My world will shrink.
Aren't you tired of finding excuses?
To put it simply, you haven't had enough fun yet.
Do you know how many people there are in this world?
- 7 billion. - 7.3 billion.
He chose to spend his life with you.
You think marrying him means giving up the whole world.
But to him, you are the whole world.
In love, there's always one person who gives more than the other.
Congratulations on becoming the one who's loved.
If you don't do anything stupid, you won't regret it.
Never mind. Let's pass on this topic.
Let's drink.
[Li Dong Ye]
Hello?
Such an extreme emergency?
Okay, okay. I'm heading back right now.
Zhi Wei, I have to go.
Okay. Drive slowly.
If you keep my dad in the dark tomorrow
and don't make me go to school
I'll forgive you for bullying me today.
First, you can't negotiate with me.
Second, I didn't bully you. You were tormenting me.
Third, you don't seem like the type of kid who would take the wrong bus.
You must have taken it on purpose.
You can take tonight to think about
whether you'll tell me the reason tomorrow morning.
If you don't tell me
I'll draw all over your face with lipstick
before sending you off to school.
You already dislike me anyway.
I don't dislike you.
The one being bullied would be the unhappy one.
So, I'm not the one who dislikes you. You're the one who dislikes me.
How come you say that?
I... I was bullied by a few upperclassmen in school today.
They cornered me in the alley behind the school.
In the past, I picked on you, but you didn't fight back.
They weren't like that though.
I fought them and cried in front of them. Nothing worked.
Why aren't you telling your dad?
If I tell him, he will just lecture me
or tell me how to smile and make friends.
It's no use.
It'll also be very embarrassing.
And... I don't want him to know
I didn't want to come back because I didn't want to see you.
So do you feel a bit guilty towards me
and want to apologize to me?
No. If Dad likes you, I'll still be mad.
But I'll pick on you less.
You're going to be so nice to me?
You have to promise you won't tell my dad about this though.
Absolutely. I definitely won't tell him.
This is our little secret, then.
I feel I should pray those upperclassmen bully you a few more times.
Then you'll be nicer to me.
Why are you talking like a stranger?
I'm not a stranger now?
Am I your family now?
I already told you everything. Why aren't you leaving yet?
So annoying! Get out, get out!
I'm going to sleep!
Uncle, are you used to the food over there?
- What is it? What's happened? - Yes, I am.
- Oh, my darling daughter! - Dad?
How come you two are chatting?
- Why can't we? - Your dad is my backup.
Dad, don't meddle in our business.
How can I not?
A young fellow popped up out of the blue saying he wants to marry my daughter.
He even stressed he would come to the States after getting married.
His wife and children would stay there too.
Of course, I had to find out more about him
and what my daughter thinks.
And what have you found out?
I've listened to him talk about his future plans for you two
and looked at his bank deposit book.
I can't wait to try his braised pork and drink a few glasses with him.
Dad, you've been taken by the enemy.
The two of us can deal with our own internal conflicts.
You don't need to worry about it.
- How can I not? - We can't talk anymore. Bye!
- Love you! - Jia Xin--
Speak. How did you get my dad's number?
I got it from Zhai Zhi Wei in exchange for an old picture of An Qing Huan.
Why didn't he tell me when he was drinking with me just now?
It was a bribe!
I paid for those beers you guys just drank.
You really have guts, Li Dong Ye.
What now? I really want to marry you.
I'm about to go bananas.
Did you get my approval to discuss marriage with my dad?
Who agreed to marry you?
Jia Xin, your no-marriage idea is complete nonsense.
Won't you give me a chance?
- I can change your mind. - Why would you say that?
Because I like you. I love you.
I want to give you happiness.
All right.
If you really love me and want to marry me
then participate in the modern dance competition with me.
When we get into the finals, I'll marry you.
Call your office right now and ask for time off. Will you do it?
Hello, Boss?
My wife dances very beautifully.
I'm worried about letting her dance alone.
I want to resign and dance with her.
Are you crazy? You're really resigning?
Doesn't that show my resolve?
You tricked me again! Annoying.
All right, all right. I'll go in tomorrow and apply for time off.
If you want to dance, I'll dance with you.
If you want to jump off a building, I'll--
What nonsense is that?
Deal.
Okay.
- I've done the wrong thing. - What is it?
I shouldn't have drawn on Man Yi's face.
This is good.
Man Yi has been spoiled by his mom. He doesn't even know the world out there.
He needs to learn a lesson.
You really don’t blame me?
Of course I don't.
Who would come so late at night?
Ms. Cai?
Sorry for disturbing you.
An Qing Huan, why didn't you answer my calls?
Give me a reason for why you left early.
- You left early? - Don't talk yet.
I tried the dish you made today.
If you hadn't left 30 minutes early
you would have been the winner of the competition.
You would have won
the chance to train for a year at a Michelin 3-star restaurant in France
and a one million yuan scholarship.
- You didn't complete the competition? - Don't talk yet!
I came to tell you I am sorely disappointed in you.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cai.
It's not me you have let down. It's your own talent and hard work.
I'm done. You may talk now.
Did you not complete the competition because of Man Yi?
Ms. Cai!
Ms. Cai! Ms. Cai!
Ms. Cai, today's incident really was an accident.
If not for my son, Qing Huan absolutely wouldn't have left the competition.
Can you ask the judging committee to give her another chance?
She already made her choice.
Between her career and love, she chose you.
Treasure her. I wish you two happiness.
Never mind. I've done more than enough.
Qing Huan, thank you.
You've sacrificed too much for me and Man Yi.
It's okay. I'm super willing.
Chairman Tang, Mrs. Tang is here.
Okay.
Please sit.
What is it that can't wait to be discussed at home?
You want to take half my assets.
If it is you who wants this money, I'll willingly give it without a word.
However, if you want to give this money to Ding Ren Jian
I absolutely won't agree to it.
Ding Ren Jian has already succeeded.
He will defeat you sooner or later. So, he doesn't need it.
Is that so?
I shall wait and see.
As for this divorce agreement
I'll sign it when the day you speak of arrives.
You'll have to wait patiently, Mrs. Tang.
I can't wait that long.
You really can't tell Ms. Lu I'm sick?
What if I spread the sickness to others?
You can't pretend to be sick forever.
I'll take any day I can get.
It'll be okay. You're a little man.
What use is it if you see me as a man?
I still can't beat them.
I shouldn't have told you.
- Good morning, Ms. Lu. - Hello!
Sorry to have made you worry, Ms. Lu.
It's nothing. It's my job.
Man Yi, don't run off again.
You scared your teachers and family yesterday.
- I know. - Okay, go to class now.
Pay attention in class.
There's something I'd like to discuss.
Don't worry. We've already held an internal meeting.
I guarantee what happened yesterday won't occur again.
It's not that. The school wasn't negligent.
He had a reason for running away.
Does it have to do with his family or the school?
- This way, please. - Yes, yes.
Please.
Uncle.
Please hold on a moment.
Uncle. Uncle!
Wake up, wake up.
- He is here for an interview. - Oh, hello.
Hello.
Song, is it?
You're here to interview for the R&D Division manager position.
I interviewed for this position before as well.
How come you didn't fill in your age?
If I filled in my age, I would have no chance at all.
I did the same thing before.
Uncle, you still remember?
How long were you with your previous company?
Why are you leaving now?
I'll be honest with you. My wife wants to buy a house.
Go make it for me.
Okay.
I give you three minutes to make me interested in this game.
Okay.
This is a tactical role-playing game.
By leveling up, you can increase your professional skills
find the business venture for you--
Stop, stop. Are you reading my game's description?
I've never played this game before.
Marketing in itself isn't selling the product.
It is selling yourself.
Selling myself? I don't have many selling points.
I thought the same one year ago.
However, I'm now sitting here interviewing you.
Song, with your performance today and your resume
you can't have the position you want.
It's okay. Any position will do.
I'm not picky.
You can do something else.
What does he want me to do?
Take care of this.
Not just keeping it alive, but make it thrive.
I almost can't keep my wife alive.
If you can take care of this, you can take care of your wife.
What if I can't?
If you can't--
I understand. If I can't, I'll leave.
Am I the type of boss who would so easily tell his employees to scram?
He isn't?
- He is. - He is.
You, come with me.
Put that down.
I can't...
I can't go on. I need a break.
- Can I eat to replenish my energy? - Li Dong Ye!
Get up quickly!
Run through it again! Do you still want to marry me?
Dong Jia Xin, if we train like this, you'll kill me.
If you turn me into an evil ghost
I'll knock on your door in the middle of the night.
Seeing how much nonsense you're spouting, you don't seem tired at all.
Running my mouth doesn't require any effort.
I can replenish my energy by talking.
Enough, stop the chit-chat. Get up quickly.
You're a man and you can't even keep up with me.
What's this?
Are you in that much of a hurry to marry me? I'm so touched.
I... I just have a professional spirit.
I'm also very professional.
I have been thinking about our choreography.
Hello?
Okay, sure.
All right, wait there. I'm coming right away.
Bye.
Where are you going now? Weren't we going to discuss the choreography?
Oh, right.
But I just thought about this calmly.
Today isn't a good day to discuss choreography. Let's go eat.
You're just looking for excuses to slack off.
Enough. The big star is waiting outside.
Zhi Wei?
Boss, where are we going?
The informational meeting for our newly released game.
- Just the two of us? - Yes. Everybody else is busy.
If we don't go, who will?
Do you really want to know what kind of boss I am?
Yes, yes.
I'm actually not sure either.
However, I know this.
One, I won't be like Tang Xiao Gang.
Two, I won't be like Zhai Zhi Wei.
Are those two people important? Should I take notes?
- Write it down. - Okay.
Don't eat so much. You won't look good dancing if you become fat.
Okay, I know what I'm doing.
Are you sure?
Of course I do. Wouldn't I know my own body?
No, I'm asking about entering the finals. You really know what you're doing?
Yes.
Isn't it just picking 1 out of 10,000 people?
Isn't it just 1 in 10,000?
Isn't it just... a small chance?
Isn't it trying your luck?
You agreed to stake your marriage on a minuscule percentage.
Are you an idiot?
What if I win by chance?
What if you lose with that 9,999 out of 10,000 chance?
I have no other option now.
If I don't take this chance
I won't even have a 1 in 10,000 chance of marrying this girl.
If you guys don't get into the finals, you're really not going to marry him?
We'll leave it up to fate.
Do you know "by chance" and a 1 in 10,000 chance aren't equivalents?
"By chance" is smaller than 1 in 10,000!
Listening to you talk makes me drowsy.
You sound just like my grade school mathematics teacher.
Stop pressuring me.
If you keep stressing me out, I'll drink my sorrows away.
You can't drink!
Why can't I?
If you drink, you won't even have that 1 in 10,000 chance.
Waiter!
Bring me two--
Sodas! I want them room temperature.
Soda is fine, right?
Let me wipe your sweat.
This is practically the ideal office.
Transportation here is convenient. It's in the Central Business District.
The facilities are modern.
When I came in, they recognized me.
- Not bad, right? - It's so cool!
Everything is arranged to your liking.
The secretary wasn't, right?
Have a seat.
Hello, Madam.
Hello.
All right, get back to work.
Goodbye, Madam.
Bye.
Not bad, right?
They're acceptable.
They're just too pretty.
Mirror, mirror, who is the prettiest one of all?
An Qing Huan, of course!
Such a sweet talker.
Why are you looking at me with such admiration?
Let me hear your opinion.
I just feel the differences between us are increasing.
I can't even help you with anything.
The job search isn't going well?
In the past, I either wasn't good enough, or too proud to settle.
Now, the video of me giving up at the competition
has been circulated online.
Who would hire me?
It looks like you'll have to take care of me.
I'll take care of you.
Okay!
Come on. I'll take you somewhere.
- Where are we going? - You'll know when we get there.
What did you bring me here for?
You'll know soon.
Thank you to everyone
for attending our culinary competition's award ceremony.
After a month of competition, we have finally selected the winners.
Today, they will take their winning dishes
and receive their trophy and honor.
Now, I will be announcing the winners.
I lost this competition. Did you bring me here to upset me?
Be patient. Keep watching.
In third place is Chen Han.
His winning dish is "Farewell Grassland."
The runner-up is Liu Qing Yang.
Her winning dish is "Peach Blossoms As Before."
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Qing Yang.
All right, now I will announce the first place winner.
The winning dish is "Return of the Phoenix."
The winner is An Qing Huan.
What's going on?
An Qing Huan, please come up.
Congratulations, An Qing Huan.
An Qing Huan, I was once disappointed in you
but I still admired you because you had passion and talent.
That is, until you had your boyfriend win this trophy for you.
Goodness, this trophy sure is worth a lot.
Wait, tell me what I did wrong.
What have I done wrong?
Your mistake was in not understanding women well enough.
How do I not understand her?
The championship belonged to her.
She only lost the competition because of Man Yi.
I merely helped her win it back. What's wrong with that?
Look at you.
So what if you're normally smart? You still can't figure it out.
You don't understand women well enough. You understand An Qing Huan even less.
She definitely won't pick up.
What kind of woman is she?
She'd sacrifice everything and even die for the man she loves.
If such a woman could be bought by money, you wouldn't even have had a chance.
You're right.
I know I really screwed up this time.
It's good you know.
All right, I'll help you out.
- I'll call her. - Okay, go ahead.
Hello, the phone you dialed is turned off.
- Sorry, the subscriber-- - What is it?
Her phone is turned off.
She could do that to me, but she shouldn't do that to you.
Exactly! How many years have we been friends?
Right! You can't stand for this!
It is a bit too much. It's too much!
Listen, we have to change our strategy. We need to...
play cat and mouse.
Who's the cat and who's the mouse?
Who's who?
Let me think about this seriously.
Where's Dad? How come he isn't back yet?
He made a mistake. He can't come home until later as punishment.
Wait.
The upperclassmen came to apologize to me today.
Oh? Is that so?
Did you do that?
Are you afraid they'll take revenge on you?
I observed them after school.
They don't seem to have any intention of messing with me.
When they first threatened me, I didn't tell the teacher.
I didn't expect them to behave after the teacher found out.
Man Yi, listen to me.
When I was young, I was also bullied by upperclassmen.
Do you know what I did?
I told the teacher immediately.
Who are the bullies most afraid of? Teachers.
Tell the teacher to discipline them so they won't dare to bully you again.
You hear me?
Man Yi, if you encounter this sort of situation again
and if anyone bullies you
you must tell someone.
Don't think that keeping it to yourself makes you a man.
If you don't tell, you're the coward.
You can tell your dad, your mom, or me.
You can tell anyone who is older than you.
You just have to tell someone, okay?
We are older than you
so we have experienced what you are going through
and know how to handle it.
That's why you have to tell us.
Okay? Promise me?
I think you're much smarter than my dad. That's why he made you mad, right?
I think you're cuter than your dad.
Why don't we team up?
Thank you, Auntie.
No worries. All right, go to sleep.
Lie down and go to sleep.
Goodnight. Close your eyes.
Ding Ren Jian, let's go eat dinner!
Come back, come back.
When is this cat-and-mouse game over?
I can't do anything. There's a communication problem.
Her phone is turned off.
I remembered I have a meeting tomorrow morning. I'm going to take off.
Were you duping me?
You told me to control her and that women can't be spoiled.
You said spoiled women will walk all over you.
Are you setting me up for failure?
If you leave, do I go home or not?
I don't know if you go home or not, but I'm going home now.
All right, I'll give you one last trick.
Here. Don't look at it right now.
Look at it when you're home.
What is this? You're being so mysterious.
Ding Ren Jian, do you trust me?
Good luck.
Waiter, give me the check.
[Kneel]
Oh my gosh.
Qing Huan, I know I was wrong. I made a very basic mistake.
I was too selfish and egotistical.
I thought loving a woman
meant trying to give her everything she wants.
But I didn't think about carefully about what you actually want.
Is it the chance to train at a Michelin 3-star restaurant
or the one million yuan scholarship?
It's actually neither!
What you want is my encouragement and respect.
You sacrificed so much for me and just wanted to do well.
If I do well, you'll succeed and win.
Yet, I used such a despicable method
and hired someone to make a dish that you didn't make.
That's what made you truly lose.
Qing Huan.
I know I did the wrong thing.
I know I was wrong. Forgive me.
Ding Ren Jian.
What are you doing?
Where did my glasses go?
I'm looking for my glasses. Where did they go?
Oh, I didn't know you were short-sighted.
Can't I be wearing contacts?
I really am hungry after such a long night.
Don't eat that. Put it down.
This is your breakfast.
This?
While you were out having fun all night
I made these cookies.
I channeled all my longing and feelings into these cookies.
What's that sound?
That's from the layers.
Because of the fermentation of the dough, air is trapped in the layers.
So, when you bite in, the air is released.
Doesn't it sound like laughter?
- It's really unique. - How does it taste?
A little sour.
Because I added cranberries.
And a little bitter.
Because I added coffee beans.
And just a tiny bit of spiciness.
You have discerning tastes. It's because I added chili peppers.
After drinking water, it tastes sweet. Did you add sugar or honey?
I didn't add sugar or honey.
It's because after tasting sour, bitter, and spicy flavors
everything will seem sweet even if you're just drinking plain water.
This is the most unique cookie I've ever eaten.
Does it have a name?
Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the next round of the semi-finals.
This will be a showdown between two pairs.
Each pair that prevails will proceed to the finals.
Please continue to watch our contestants' spectacular performances.
First up will be team 96, Li Dong Ye and Dong Jia Xin.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
What's wrong?
It's nothing. Keep going.
What's wrong?
It's nothing. Keep going.
Hold on to me.
Sorry.
- Zhen Zhen. - Boss.
Do you two like to eat cookies?
Here, try this.
- Thank you. - Who made these?
Try it first.
It's quite cute.
You try it first.
- You first. - You first.
How is it?
- It's better than the ones in stores. - Really?
- Boss, you have one too. - Try it.
Is it good?
- Qing Huan made these. - It's pretty good.
- Really? - Yes!
How nice! You're so lucky, Boss.
- Have a coffee, Boss. - Thank you.
It tastes quite good.
Go home and praise Qing Huan.
When I said it was good, she thought I was lying.
If you two say it's good, then it must be true.
Let me see it.
Hold on for a second.
Here, sit down.
Sit.
Does it hurt?
Honestly.
Blame me.
What is that phrase? Choking up at the critical moment.
That's me.
I don't blame you. I'm worried about you.
If not because of me, we could've had a 1 in 10,000 chance.
Now we've lost even that.
It's okay. Stop crying.
Actually, this is my fault.
If I tell you the truth, don't hit me, okay?
The truth about what?
[In Life and Love]
