[In Life and Love]
[Episode 39]
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?
Our training was so intense.
Why did you only sprain your ankle now?
It might be because I'm nervous.
What are you nervous for? You're prepared.
If you insist you're nervous, then it's because...
Because of what?
You want to marry me so badly.
Of course not.
That's why I say you're not nervous.
Then why?
Because you've been cursed.
- Nonsense. - It's true.
I didn't believe it before, but I do now after this experience.
The story begins when I was very young.
My dad could tell fortunes.
He looked into my fortune when I was young.
It said I would marry and have children at a very late age.
That's why I believe God doesn't want me to marry you so soon
and he gave you this injury.
You're just making up stories.
Why weren't you the injured one, then?
Because God pities me.
I'm so old
yet, I still have to be an amateur dancer with you.
Stop it! Keep massaging.
Okay. I'll blow on it.
How come it's so stinky?
You're so annoying! Keep massaging.
Yes, ma'am!
Your Highness's foot is injured.
- Gently! - Okay, okay.
I'm back!
My dear!
Honey! Darling!
- What is it? - Do you have any more cookies?
You're addicted?
I can't stop!
But they taste so weird. How come you like them?
They're not weird at all.
They made me understand something.
Only after experiencing bitterness, sourness, and spiciness
can sweetness be experienced.
It has nothing to do with money.
- You say things that are nice to hear. - You taught me well.
According to a unanimous decision by our judges
because Contender 96 could not complete their dance
causing them to earn low scores
their competitor will advance to the next round
as long as they can complete their dance.
Jia Xin, they're handing out the awards. I'll help you over to watch.
Are you coming?
It's just a competition.
It's the experience that's important. The trophy doesn't matter.
Next year, we'll surprise them.
We'll still be the winners.
Sit down.
I'm not the only one who likes to eat the cookies. My coworkers do as well.
They even want to order some.
I think this would be a good business.
Be a cookie girl?
What's wrong with being a cookie girl?
Your boss used to carry frozen pork.
I'm not saying I look down on this industry.
I can't start my business by relying on selling cookies to your coworkers.
What's wrong with that? They like them and say they taste good.
Word of mouth is good marketing.
Besides, they don't just taste good.
Their unique sound is especially delightful.
I think it'll be a very big selling point.
That does sound reasonable.
If you think so, I'll invest.
Pretend I didn't say that.
I'm using my filthy money to tarnish Ms. An's soul again.
I'm not one to bite off more than I can chew.
The cookie isn't ready yet. I'm still developing it.
Besides, why would I need your investment?
It's just spare change unless I want to expand my market.
You thought about this.
But, no matter what, you should give the cookies a name first.
I really don't know what to call it. I haven't thought about it.
Let me think.
Cookies...
When you were talking to Ms. Cai that day, I heard you say
a line from Su Shi's ancient poem which went
"The best flavors on earth are simple joys."
I looked it up on Baidu afterwards and its approximate meaning is
after one has tried all the exotic delicacies of the world
in the end, one will find a light porridge and a simple dish
are the most delicious on earth.
That is the flavor of happiness.
That is the flavor you give me.
That is the flavor of this cookie.
An Qing Huan...
What do you think about calling it "Qing Huan Cookie"?
Simple joy in eating, simple joy in living.
I'm also Qing Huan. (Qing Huan means "simple joy.")
I like this name.
This is also my expectation of you. Can you do it?
Time may pass, but the simple joys will not.
I grew up in a family that lacked nothing.
My mom is a successful career woman
so she always taught me to compete for this and compete for that.
I became used to pursuing the best of everything.
I became used to using money to solve all problems.
Back then, I even thought this world revolved around me.
That was until I met you, someone who paid me no attention.
You were the first to tell me
not everything can be fixed with money.
For example, people's feelings.
You were the first to tell me how to respect others.
I discovered forgiving others can bring such happiness.
I am also just a normal person.
This world doesn't revolve around me either.
You also made me realize
loving someone and being loved can bring such happiness.
After being with you, I realized
I've found who I want to be.
I am just a woman who can
cry and throw tantrums, and act spoiled and shameless.
I don’t have to think about anything when I'm with you.
When I'm with you
I feel I am the world's luckiest woman.
We have had conflicts and fights before
but this doesn't keep me from acknowledging this.
I want to be with you forever.
I don't dare to imagine how my life would be without you. So...
I have chosen you, Li Dong Ye.
I, Dong Jia Xin, want to marry you.
Will you marry me?
Jia Xin.
What are you doing?
You... Why are you making me cry?
Of course I'll marry you.
I'll be good to you forever.
Jia Xin.
There's something I want to say to you too.
I've been quite worried this whole time.
I was worried that I wasn't good enough for your beauty.
Worried that I didn't deserve your kindness.
But compared to these
I'm more afraid of losing you.
Jia Xin, do you know?
You've already become a part of me.
You're in my blood, my flesh, and my bones.
If you leave...
I'll lose my soul.
Jia Xin, as long as you're willing
I'll be your armor and protect you forever.
I'll be the one who revolves around you forever.
I'll let you be
a woman who cries and throw tantrums, and acts spoiled and shameless.
How does that sound?
Jia Xin.
Will you marry me?
Jia Xin, you can only marry me.
You must marry me.
Jia Xin, give me a second.
Jia Xin, sit down.
Jia Xin.
I've had it ready at all moments.
Ms. An.
Will he be in the meeting for long?
It'll be a while because the game is being upgraded.
Why don't you sit for a while?
Okay, I'll wait for him. Thank you.
I'm a bit busy, so I can't see to you.
It's okay. Go back to work.
- Zhen Zhen. - What is it, Boss?
Qing Huan came by?
Yes, she was waiting here for you for quite a long time.
Why didn't you tell me?
Ms. An said not to bother you since you were in a meeting.
All right. Get back to work.
The Qing Huan Cookie is ready.
I hope you can be the first to taste it.
This car seems very unique and has a lot of personality, just like you.
Yes.
I won it in a gaming competition. Isn't it cool?
Yes, it's very cool.
I think this limited-edition car is very unconventional.
Yes, only the one of a kind belong to me.
Do the one-of-a-kind Zhai Zhi Wei and this car have any other stories?
There's also this medal. It's from the Ultimate Cool Race this company held.
I like running. I didn't think I'd win a medal for it though.
You made it sound so easy. That's very amazing.
Cars are like competitions.
As long as I like something, whether easy or difficult
I will take it to the limit.
Hello? Zhi Wei?
Yes. Where are you?
What a coincidence! I was just watching your interview.
I'm at the outlets.
Let's meet up.
- Right now? - Yes, right now. Immediately.
All right, I'll be at the mall here.
Okay, okay. I'll be waiting. See you later.
You've changed.
In what way?
I can't say.
I just feel you seem a bit different.
You look like you've grown up.
You haven't changed a bit.
You still like to chide me like you're my older sister.
I don't dare.
You're now the nation's ideal boyfriend, the popularity prince.
Not bad.
You're still you.
You just seem a bit dispirited.
What's wrong? Is that old guy not treating you well?
That's not it. He's very good to me.
Making you smile would be being good to you.
I'll tell you a joke.
Just now, a fly landed on my hand.
I was just about to swat it.
It said, "Don't swat me yet. It's my birthday today."
"Can you sing a birthday song for me?"
Happy birthday to you...
It's not funny?
What's the joke?
I clapped my hands while singing and I killed it.
I get it!
Oh my gosh, that's such a lame joke.
- It's funny. - Yes, funny.
What's wrong?
- Feeling unwell? - No.
I've been working since 3:30 a.m. I haven't eaten yet.
My stomach hurts a little.
Since 3:30 a.m.?
I... I have a box of cookies.
Here, eat some for now.
This is the Qing Huan Cookie you told me about?
Yes.
I made it for Ding Ren Jian and he thinks it tastes good.
He's encouraging me to start a business with this.
He even came up with the name, Qing Huan Cookie.
- Is it good? - It's tasty.
That's good. Have more.
- Hello? - Boss!
Why did you sneak off again?
Come back quickly. It's almost time. The director will be mad again.
I know.
I have to get back to work again.
Go on, then.
Can I take these cookies with me?
Of course.
Remember to eat even if you're busy.
Starving isn't good for your stomach.
- Why don't I give you a ride home? - No need to.
I want to sit here a bit longer.
Okay, I'm going.
Zhi Wei! I also participated in the Ultimate Cool Race.
- We were there. I'm so happy! - Yes, we're your fans.
Is this the car that was in the interview?
It matches you so well!
My friend and I like you very much. May I have an autograph?
- Sure. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow, that's so much food. This is fit for a banquet.
Jia Xin has been out the whole day on interviews.
We should reward her with some good food.
There doesn't need to be this much.
She is from a wealthy family, after all.
She's willing to marry into our family. We need to treat her well.
Mom, I also want to treat her well.
I'm worried about you though.
Cooking so much food is tiring. Why don't we go out to eat?
We're a working-class family.
How much would this meal cost if we ate out?
Besides, it can't compare to a home-cooked meal.
Jia Xin likes to eat the food I cook and I'm willing to cook for her.
If you're worried
help me out instead of just talking.
All right.
The two of us will wait on her, okay?
Mom, Jia Xin actually just wants to be an ordinary woman
and experience regular family life.
There's no need to spoil her.
You still need to let her slowly adjust to our life.
Okay, I'll listen to you, all right?
Mom, what should we start with?
Auntie, I'm back.
How did it go? Was your interview successful?
I've been hired!
The dance class is very close to our house.
It's only five bus stops away.
That's great. Go rest and get ready for dinner.
Okay.
What's that for?
I forgot to buy pork today. I've been waiting for you to return.
Stop that.
Don’t scare her.
- Go rest. - Okay.
Wait. Mom.
You don't know this.
Jia Xin is very good at cooking.
She'll show you today.
Oh, yes. Auntie, I can cook.
I'll help you two.
How could you possibly know how to cook?
I know how to cook with these ingredients.
You've been pampered and spoiled since childhood.
How could you know how to cook?
Auntie, you don't know, do you?
I'm an ABC. (American-born Chinese)
I'm very capable of taking care of myself.
Mom, she really isn't boasting.
I've tried her cooking. It's delicious.
Just cook a few things today.
In the past, I didn't know if you'd like my cooking.
I'll give it a try today.
Auntie, don't worry about it. Go watch television.
No, no. I'll cook today. You can cook next time.
Don't be courteous with me.
You'll be my mother--
I'll be waiting on you from now on.
I can't let you cook for me all the time.
Go on.
It's enough for me to know you think that.
While I can still move, I'll cook.
When I can't move anymore, you can wait on me.
Mom, you're being such a stranger.
I think of Jia Xin as one of us
so that's why I'm letting her in the Li house kitchen.
Yes, he's right. Don't think of me as an outsider.
Let me try it today.
Okay, I'll let you cook today.
- If you need me, call for me, okay? - No problem. Go on now.
- Call for me if you need me. - Okay.
- Don't worry. - Okay.
Quickly, get my phone.
I'll look up how to cook the crayfish. You look up how to cook the crabs.
Find the dishes that are easy to cook and understand--
Stop.
Move aside. I'll cook.
It's all your fault! You set me up.
What do I do now?
My mom already knows you respect her.
You have me here to help you cook. It'll be all right.
I'll be cooking sooner or later.
It'll be a test run today. You cook. I'll learn.
You really want to learn?
All right, I'll teach you.
Watch.
- A rose for you... - All right, already.
Stop messing around.
If you want to cook, you can. If you don't, I can cook.
You can just look pretty like a flower.
- Okay? - All right.
Listen. Auntie must know you're the one cooking. What do we say later?
That's true.
Why don't I burn the crabs?
No way. My first meal for her can't lose points.
Do you think my mom doesn't know?
No matter how it comes out, she'll definitely praise you.
Dong Dong, you're the best.
I'll give you a shoulder massage tonight.
Okay.
I don't know what spell you cast on my mom.
She treats you better than she does her own son.
It's because I'm beautiful, gentle, and kind.
What's wrong?
Is your stomach hurting?
I want to puke.
Go away!
- No more playing. - You're terrible.
Let's hurry and cook dinner.
So annoying! Hurry up.
Quickly, quickly.
You're back.
Sorry, I had a few last-minute meetings.
It's okay.
Have you eaten yet? I'll make something for you.
No, it's okay. Do you have any more Qing Huan Cookies?
I don't. I brought some to your office. You didn't see them?
I'd forgotten.
It's okay. Sit down. I'll make dumplings for you.
- No need to trouble yourself. - It's no trouble.
It'll be done soon.
Chairman Tang, it's been a week since Ding Ren Jian's game was released.
It is currently ranked among the top five games in the country.
This has put us in an awkward position.
Our game was just released online as well
but it has had very few downloads.
A lot of feedback from online users says our game frequently crashes
the save function is often problematic, and the moderator has a poor attitude.
However, from what we've learned
all these issues are probably Ding Ren Jian's doing.
I've underestimated him. He would actually hack me.
Although there are some vulnerabilities in our game, they can all be fixed.
From my analysis, Ding Ren Jian has a fatal flaw.
They priced their game very low.
In such a condition
they will be unable to support future operation of the game.
This will ultimately lead to the lack of capital.
I think this will mean the end of them sooner or later.
You don't know Ding Ren Jian.
He only made this game as a smokescreen. He has something else up his sleeve.
Investigate him.
See what he has been doing and who he has been meeting with.
Report everything to me in detail.
Chairman Tang, in my opinion, Ding Ren Jian is merely a nobody.
He isn't worth our attention.
All right, Chairman Tang.
I'll go back outside.
How come you're here? You don't have work today?
I'm in no mood for filming.
How can there be someone as willful as nature
not filming when the mood hits him?
Put away your prejudice.
I really was kicked out by the director.
What happened?
If you insist on hearing it, you'll have to fix it.
Me? What is it?
I'll give you a hint. Cookie.
You're not going on a strike because of a cookie, are you?
This is official business!
The box of cookies I took with me was stolen when I got back to the crew.
Those who ate some kept talking about them
and those who didn't were raising hell.
In order to quiet them down, the director sent me here.
Are you serious?
You're saying your film crew would stop working because of a cookie?
What? Are you not happy about it?
It's not that! I'm just so surprised.
You're scaring me, aren't you? How is that even possible?
What's so surprising. It tastes good, so of course everyone likes it.
You don't trust in your own skills?
I believe in my skills, but I don't believe in what you say.
I'm telling the truth.
Enough teasing though. Grab some cookies and let's go. Everyone's waiting.
Go where?
You just pop up suddenly and demand cookies. I don't have any.
- Why didn't you prepare more? - Why should I?
I made these cookies so I could give them to you or my friends.
I never thought about making so many.
Then do you want to make them to earn money?
What for? Here's the deal.
The next time your film crew wants some
I'll make more and give them to you for free.
How much is more?
- 10 boxes? - Not enough.
There are at least 20 people in the crew who want to buy them.
Some want more than one box.
You can't waste this opportunity. I told them it's 50 yuan a box.
- 50 yuan a box? - Isn't that motivating?
Yes!
It's priced so high. How could that not be motivating?
The number of downloads is in the nation's top five.
Ding Ren Jian, this was an overwhelming victory.
You must celebrate.
I've already prepared a celebration feast.
- It has to be grand! - The press must be invited.
I've also invited several major figures in the business community.
I'll introduce you. Make good use of this opportunity.
Discuss the company's next steps.
By the way, you must bring your family along.
Establish some diplomatic relations through her. It'll save you some effort.
Thank you, President Shi.
- I'm leaving now. - I'll walk you out.
Okay, cut.
Take a 15-minute break.
Everyone, come on over. Your cookies are here.
Good timing. I'm hungry.
- The cookies are here? - Come, come.
- I want one. - Don't fight.
Thank you...
- These are so good. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Look, everybody likes them so much. Why don't you officially sell them?
How? Do you want me to set up a roadside stall to sell them?
I used to be an executive at Zen Corporation.
- It would be so embarrassing. Thank you. - So what?
I used to be a CEO of a big company.
I waited at cast line-ups every day to be picked for a role.
If I could do that, why can't you?
- Give me a box. - Thank you.
- Thanks. - How do I sell them, then?
I'm almost done.
Then, I'll post this online and everything will be done.
I'm actually not in such a hurry to open an online store.
I know you're a computer idiot.
That's why I've already completed
the registration process and webpage setup for you.
Isn't it enough to sell to friends on WeChat?
Are you going to friend just anybody?
No, I'm afraid of being blacklisted.
Not just that. You'd be beaten up too.
If you don't catch the big fish out there
you'll be enjoying Qing Huan Cookies by yourself.
No--
When someone has the time to praise and eat them, you're happy.
When they forget about and become sick of them, will you stop making them?
Why are you so worked up?
I'm not agitated because of who you're with.
I'm worried about your current situation.
The proud and radiant expression you had
while watching the film crew eat the Qing Huan Cookies
was the real you.
Do you only have eyes for one person now?
One person? I still have eyes for money.
No, I mean future prospects.
And... all these buyers through the computer.
You took nice pictures.
No way.
How is this possible?
Someone's asking about my cookies. That was so fast!
You're impressive.
How many fans do you have on your Weibo now?
Just about 10 million or so.
10 million? Already?
- Did you hire them to be your fans? - No such thing.
Popularity prince.
Post a few more pictures.
Take more selfies.
Cheers!
Congratulations to Zhu Gan and Dong Jia Xin
for finding their way to each other.
And to our Qing Huan Cookie taking over the cookie industry.
Bottoms up!
I sure hope so.
The flag still needs to go up
even if there may just be a 1 in 10,000 chance.
I put up 50 flags for myself
but they were all rejected.
The outcome isn't important. It's the process that matters.
You can't refrain from eating because of the poop that comes out.
Look at them being sappy.
Who would know they used to be rivals?
Fate is most intriguing.
In the past, I always thought you and Dong Dong were a pair
and Zhi Wei and I would definitely end up together.
Who knew the four of us would end up the complete opposite?
Don't pair them up.
Qing Huan is now with Uncle Ding.
Don't worry. I won't let you down. I'll make your words a reality.
Don't say that. Cheers!
I have to drink with you.
Do you know? I used to really dislike you.
I didn't like you very much either.
Great, I know.
But, now that you're with Zhu Gan, we're family.
- Drink! - Drink 10!
You're too wild.
You see that, right? Ms. Dong is a wild horse. Can you tame her?
You can't escape my grassland.
Not necessarily.
- What'd you say? - Hey.
Let's drink to taming wild horses. To all of us taming wild horses.
All right, cheers!
Cheers.
Again.
- Is this it? - Yes, Madam. This is the place.
You all did well today. Go home and practice.
Ask me if you have any questions.
- Okay. - Okay, go on now.
- Bye. - Bye. Be safe.
This child...
She'd give up her nice life and general manager position
and refuse to return to America.
She'd even be so happy being a mere teacher.
Just as unambitious as her dad.
Wanzi Lane, Number 28. Mr. Wu, two boxes.
Shangdao Street, Baizi Station 310, house number 3128.
Mr. Shang, one box.
Tian Tian Alley Restaurant, Mr. Wang, 10 boxes.
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Okay, they can be packed now.
Qing Huan, this address looks close by.
I'll deliver it for you. It'll save you some money.
Okay, bye.
Come home with me.
I won't.
There are so many proper jobs you could do.
You just have to play around.
You're not a child. I don't have time to coax you.
It's precisely because I'm not a child that I know clearly what I'm doing.
I'm not going back.
I am going to live the life I want.
Dong Jia Xin, don’t forget who you are.
- You are my daughter. - So what?
I won't allow you to go about humiliating me.
Nobody here wants to know who my mom is and nobody will care to ask.
You can rest at ease.
Moreover, I don't feel that returning to Zen Corporation is glorious
while being a dance teacher is embarrassing.
Compared to fighting and scheming every day at Zen Corporation
this sort of content life is cleaner.
What are you going on about? What would you know?
You can hit me or scold me.
I won't be going back anyway.
I really don’t understand.
Where did these immature excuses and odd opinions come from?
Who taught you these? Li Dong Ye?
I came to these myself.
Or, you could say I was always a failure. You just insisted that I succeed.
Do you still know who you are?
Are you still my daughter?
Mom, you don't need to doubt this.
Even if you don't acknowledge me as your daughter
I will still be your daughter.
My daughter absolutely would not give up her own goals for a man.
I do have goals. They're just not the same as yours.
Your goals only have to do with your career. But mine don't.
I'll just ask you one thing. Are you coming with me?
[In Life and Love]
