Actually...
What's going on? Why's there another dad?
- You like children, too? - It's the middle of the night. Who is he?
- He's even saying he wants a daughter as cute as her? - Le Tong, do you like the gifts?
- Thank you, Toy Daddy. I love them. - You want to get to Guo Guo through Le Tong?
This is despicable.
Mr. Lu, sorry, it's getting late. Le Tong should be going to sleep soon.
How about--?
I'm sorry. I forgot about the time. I'll leave first.
Thank you, thank you.
Toy Daddy, goodbye.
See you next time!
Take care.
Le Tong, let's go to sleep.
Okay.
Hello? Who are you?
Who do you want it to be?
I don't want it to be you, you big liar!
I-- I'm a liar? Didn't you say you wanted to learn English?
I saw you were having a lot of fun with another man. You probably forgot about it.
What are you saying? What man?
I saw you--
Whatever.
I don't care how many people want to be Le Tong's dad. I just want to say--
Say what?
Forget it. I'll let this go because I'm a generous person.
Oh, right. I'll teach you a word today. You must remember it.
It's just one word, so why bother teaching? Let's talk tomorrow. I'm sleepy.
No. You must learn it today. Repeat after me.
L.
O.
V.
E.
E!
Today's homework is to find out what this word means. I'll check tomorrow.
Good night. I wish you insomnia.
Hey--! Hello?
Who does he think he is? He didn't even come for class, yet he dares to assign homework?
Why are you on the phone in the middle of the night? Do you not want me to sleep?
Alright, I know, Mom.
So annoying!
♫ Upset, I occasionally speak to myself ♫
L, O, V...
E?
♫ Listen to me ♫
Is he confessing to me?
Why is my heart beating so fast?
He's going on blind dates everyday, so how could he confess to me?
I'm not thinking about this anymore. I'm sleeping.
♫ Listen to me: I’m starting to miss you ♫
♫ While alone, you must be happy ♫
♫ Don’t be like me, moved to tears from just one sentence ♫
Does this Ramen-Head like me or not?
Why is there another Toy Daddy now?
Geez, what if someone gets her first?
♫ too suspicious and thinks too much ♫

Zhang Guo Guo, you dummy.
That rascal just called to joke around with you at night, yet you couldn't sleep.
Li Yun Kai, you womanizer. I better not see you again.
What are you doing here?
Listen to me, let me tell you--
Go away, go away, go away.
- Go away. - Listen to me--
I need to go. Go away! Go away!
Hey!
Hey! Li Yun Kai, let go!
Let go of me!
Put me down, Li Yun Kai!
Put me down!
What are you doing?!
Okay, today, right here.
Today, we will quietly, honestly, and clearly discuss the situation.
Today, nobody can disturb us.
What do you mean by "us?" We are like river water and well water, not intervening with each other. Stop trying to be close to me.
Whether it's river water or well water, it's not important.
I thought about it all of last night. There's something that I must tell you face-to-face.
You have the audacity to mention last night?
No, no. What happened last night
will end here. Let's turn the page. Starting now...
Yes, starting now, my relationship with you, Zhang Guo Guo, will be brand-new.
What are you trying to say? Say it after you've thought it through.
You don't understand? Okay, okay. Then, I'll say it differently.
Guo Guo, the best man in the world is currently standing in front of you. Shouldn't you treasure it?
Okay, I know you still don't understand. I'll say it differently again.
Guo Guo, I love you.
Why are you looking at me? I've made it so clear already. You still don't understand?
Guo Guo, I really love you.
It's just like how I'm teaching you English everyday.
Out of the millions of English vocabulary, I only want to teach you one word
and that is "love." I want to tell you I love you, so I want to ask
if you're willing to date me, with marriage as our antecedent?
This is the sweet-talk you used to trick Xiao Qin, right?
How is this related to Xu Xiao Qin? Moreover, how did I trick her? Where did you hear that I tricked her?
You men are all the same! After the fun is over, you leave
without a word.
No, but-- Guo Guo, you really misunderstood me. It's not what you think.
Yes, Xu Xiao Qin likes me, but I can't control that.
Even if every woman in the world likes me, I can't marry all of them.
That's not how it works! You saying that is unfair to me.
Plus, my feelings towards you are sincere. We've known each other for so long. Have you really not felt it?
Even if you're sincere, so what? How long can this sincerity last?
Li Yun Kai, I'm different from you. I have a mom and a daughter. I don't have time to play with you.
I'm not playing with you. I don't want to play, either.
Guo Guo, when I met you five years ago,
my heart fell into chaos, and it still hasn't settled down.
You're like air, omnipresent. I can't hide from you,
but now, I don't want to hide. That's why I shamelessly came to confess,
but you don't trust me.
♫ Grab onto the thread of time Bit by bit, we’ll be ourselves again ♫
It's okay if you don't trust me.
But starting today, you've gotten yourself into trouble. I won't give up.
Remember that.
Just wait to be my girlfriend.
♫ be separated again ♫
Hey.
Why did you call me here?
You did this, right?
So what if I did?
Have you had enough?
You're despicable!
Despicable?
Zhang Yu Xin, other than divorcing me and having a kid, are you hiding more unspeakable secrets?
Even if you force me to death, your parents won't come back from the dead. What's the point of doing this?
Sure, my mom and dad can't come back
but at least I have a child. As long as you return the child to me, I won't investigate you any more.
I can't. I put the kid in an orphanage as soon as I gave birth. I don't know her whereabouts either.
You gave up your child to an orphanage?! Are you even human?
What right do you have to lecture me? How can children from rich families understand me?
At that time I couldn't take care of myself, how could I have taken care of someone else?!
Someone else?
You treat your child as "someone else?"
So what if it was my child?
Once I think of that child, I remember the things you've done to me. I'd rather not see her.
Lu Si Chen, I'm warning you, stop bothering me;
otherwise, you'll end up worse than you did five years ago.
Listen up. I lost my parents five years ago because I was naive,
but I won't do that again. I'll definitely find the child.
One day, I'll make you beg on your knees. You just wait, Zhang Yu Xin.
Why do you look so down?
I... Why do I need to tell you? You don't treat my mom well. I want to sever our relationship.
How did I treat her bad? I do my best to treat her well everyday.
Your mom is the one who rejected me and wasted all my sincerity.
Now, you're blaming me. I'm going to cry.
Then why are you marrying another woman? Lawyer Daddy, do you not like my mom anymore?
When did I? When?
Are you talking about my blind dates?
My dad arranged those for me. I don't like it at all. I don't like those women.
Lawyer Daddy, you should openly bring my mom to your house and tell your dad
that the girl you like is Zhang Guo Guo.
Yes, I know. But--
There are some adult things that you don't really understand.
I know. You don't want to tell your family because of me, right?
No. How can you think like that?
When we were in Xiping, everyone said that I'm Mom's child out of wedlock.
Mom can't get married because of me.
I don't want to be my mom's daughter anymore. I want her to be happy.
Le Tong, how sad would your mom be if she heard what you said?
How lucky must a man be to have such a good daughter like you
and a good wife like your mom?
I'm serious. Having you two is the best thing that can happen in life.
Lawyer Daddy, is that true? You're not worried that I'll embarrass you?
Of course not.
Then can you come with Mom to my preschool's family event tomorrow?
Of course, I can.
I love you so much!
Le Tong, I have a concern. Can you help me?
What is it?
Don't worry, Lawyer Daddy. I'll take care of it.
Here.
Mommy!
I missed you!
I just saw you not a long while ago, and you miss me already? What do you want?
Today, Yue Yue from our class brought a restaurant's cake to class.
That cake was amazing! But there was only a little bit,
and people finished it in the blink of an eye. I heard that restaurant is right there.
It just opened recently.
You want to eat more?
Let's go buy it together.
Mommy, I'm so tired today. Can you buy it for me?
Lazy bum, wait here. I'll be back soon.
Hello, I want to buy a cake.
Sorry, ma'am. That man has reserved the whole restaurant for tonight.
He reserved the whole restaurant?
Why is it you again?
Let me tell you, I'm not falling for this. I won't change my mind.
I haven't even said anything, but you already said so much. Can't we just have a friendly dinner together?
Hey! Hey! Why are you dragging me? Let go of me.
Waitress.
Sir, what would you like today?
Give me a red wine, mojito, and a beer.
Okay.
Hold on, add a glass of milk.
Okay.
Why did you order so much? We can't finish drinking all that.
I didn't say it's all for you.
Hi, Yun Kai.
- Hi, Amy. Long time no see. - Long time no see.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
Now that your friend is here, I'm leaving.
Don't be anxious. Wait a bit longer.
How's it going recently?
Brother Kai! I've missed you!
Hello! Sit! Sit!
I ordered alcohol for you. It'll be here soon.
Why did he tell these women to come?
You ran off to Xiping to be a lawyer and didn't tell us. I was hurt.
That's right! You didn't even contact us when you came back to Zhenhu.
Right, right, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I'll drink all of this.
Today, I told you guys to come here because I have to make an announcement.
This woman is my girlfriend.
Are you crazy? I didn't agree to this.
Yun Kai, she seems to not like you.
I was too careless before and created many misunderstandings.
It made her feel insecure being with me. But now, no matter if you agree or not,
as long as I've decided, I'll tell everyone that you can't be replaced.
You're just sweet talking! You're just showing off your charm by bringing your ex-girlfriends here.
Who says we are his ex-girlfriends?
You're not?
I think you're mistaken. He is handsome and a lot of girls like him.
But he is a great person and sees us as friends. We've never even held hands.
She's right. Don't make up stories. We are all married.
Yun Kai, she's your first love, right?
What? First love?
We're here.
Oh.
Well... Are you not going to say anything?
♫ Treat the rain as an envelope, ♫
Say what?
♫ covering the sky that all belongs to you ♫
♫ Shyly, I lower my reserved face ♫
♫ and tell you about the love that I imagine ♫
♫ I can’t let go because ♫
♫ I met you ♫
Dummy! I'm going now.
Wait for me. I'll get it unlocked soon. Hey!
♫ Even if there’s no reason, we must have come into ♫
I'll be going to tomorrow's preschool family event!
♫ I am still looking because you have stopped, ♫
I screwed up at the most critical moment.
♫ yet I still can’t forget ♫
♫ our meeting ♫
Le Tong, I'm sorry that I forgot to bring a kite for you. It's all my fault.
It's okay, Mommy. I don't like flying kites, anyway.
Why is Lawyer Daddy still not here?
Uncle Yun Kai is very busy. He wasn't being serious; he's not really coming.
No, he promised me that he'd come. You also want him to come, right?
I don't.
Let's go for a walk.
Let's go.
Mom, what's wrong? Is it because Lawyer Daddy didn't come
and you're sad?
I'm okay. Let's go.
Mommy, look! Lawyer Daddy is here!
Le Tong!
My precious.
I told you I was coming so, of course, I will. I even bought a kite.
I made it. Isn't it pretty?
Here, Le Tong. Go play with it.
Let's sit.
Did you really make the kite?
Of course. I made it according to the exact one I had when I was young.
I used to go to Golden Thread Embroidery to play with Yi Bei. We would play hide-and-seek and fly kites.
Now that I think of it, the happiest time in my childhood was when I was with Yi Bei.
I'll tell you the truth. In this world, the women I can't let go of,
other than you, is Yi Bei. That's the truth.
Oh.
No need to worry. Yi Bei has been missing for so long with no news.
She won't be your love rival.
- You're still scared of having a love rival, right? - No.
Yun Kai?
- Hey, what a coincidence. - What are you doing here?
I'm here with the child.
When did you get married? Your child is already in preschool?
No, we...
She's my girlfriend.
Oh, I get it! You guys probably brought a relative's kid to the event, right?
I knew it. You're so young so how could you--?
Daddy!
Precious! What a good girl.
Dad, I lost the kite.
Lost it? Where? It's okay, Daddy will make another for you. Good girl.
You're not her real dad! Her mom is a single mom so she doesn't have a dad!
I'm sorry. Children speaks nonsense.
I'm telling the truth! She'll call anyone dad!
I'm sorry.
See you another time.
Dad, did I make trouble?
Who says you did? Le Tong is so cute and obedient, how could you make trouble?
Yun Kai, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't teach Le Tong well enough and caused trouble for you.
What're you saying? What trouble? I'm so glad they misunderstood.
Trust me, I'll turn this misunderstanding into the truth.
Don't fight with Mom anymore and don't hate her.
It's all because of me. I can't call you "dad" any more.
Le Tong, trust me. I'll become your dad.
Let's go play!
We've decided to adopt you as our daughter.
You're welcome to move back to Golden Thread Embroidery.
Really?
Thank you!
We're family now. You don't have to thank us.
You treat us well so, of course, we treat you well.
Of course! I'll go back and convince Li Yun Zhe to continue to collaborate with us.
I will help you with all my might, too.
But Grandma hasn't agreed to it yet.
Behave yourself in front of her in the future.
I will.
When Mom agrees, we'll invite all our relatives
and announce in front of everyone that you're our daughter.
I'm so happy today. I feel like this is a dream.
I'm finally going to be the daughter of the famous Golden Thread Embroidery.
It won't matter if you're Zhang Guo Guo or Jin Yi Bei. Everything of yours will be mine soon.
This is all mine now.
I must do my best to be their daughter and make them forget about Jin Yi Bei.
I'll make Golden Thread Embroidery belong to me.
[Lu Si Chen]
Lu Si Chen, you're still not giving up?
I'll definitely find the child.
One day, I'll make you beg on your knees. You just wait.
Why is he so sure he can find our child?
Didn't Mom give the child to the orphanage?
Why do I feel so uneasy? Zhang Guo Guo's daughter, Le Tong,
is about the correct age.
No, I need to go find out what's going on. I can't let Lu Si Chen be my obstacle.
Le Tong, bye-bye!
Bye-bye, Uncle!
That's wrong. You need to call me "Lawyer Daddy."
Okay. Bye-bye, Lawyer Daddy!
Guo Guo, sleep early today.
Got it.
Xiao Qin?
Guo Guo!
How long has it been since I last saw you?
Why are you here?
I came to find you.
Guo Guo, can I stay with you for a few days?
Sure! No problem!
What happened?
It's nothing, I fell.
Let's go. Let's talk inside.
I'll help you.
This way.
Le Tong, walk with Auntie Xiao Qin.
I was chased for debt to the point where I had nowhere to go but here.
Just stay at my place for as long as you want.
Guo Guo, you're the best.
Don't cry.

Xiao Qin, after I started embroidering, Teacher said I can't drink alcohol, so I'll use water, okay?
That's fine! With friendship, even drinking water is filling. Cheers.
Let me pour it for you.
Guo Guo, you're so nice to me. Thank god you took me in when I have nowhere to go.
Here, for our friendship. Cheers!
Cheers.
Don't drink so much.
You don't even know. Ever since you left, nothing has gone well for me.
I didn't even have anyone to talk to when I was upset. I was so sad.
I miss when you were in Xiping. And Yun Kai.
Do you still remember Li Yun Kai?
Li Yun Kai?
I remember. Xiao Qin, the truth is--
The truth is, I could tell that he really liked me.
But he was probably scared of a long distance relationship.
I would've left with him if he asked.
Do you think we have a chance if I go find him, now that I'm also in Zhenhu?
It's been so long.
Besides, there's so many good men out there. Why do you want to be with him?
Are there? I think there are more bad men.
I take a step and meet one, I take two and meet a pair!
Thinking about it, Yun Kai is a good man.
Why didn't I chase after him harder?
But now, I...
Okay, okay. I'll get more beer for you.
Why are you here?!
Le Tong forgot her backpack so I brought this for her.
Go quickly!
I can't leave. Why should I leave? If I wasn't considering your feelings, I would've told her already.
Fine. Then follow my lead.
Great Lawyer Li, how did you find the time to visit me?
Yun Kai?
Speak of the devil!
That's right.
Xiao Qin also happened to come. Sit down.
- Come eat with us. - Yes, yes.
Sit down.
Investigate Xu Xiao Qin and see how she's been living in Xiping.
You should drink another cup.
- Okay. - Here.
Here. Drink up.
I'll pour it for you.
Li Yun Kai, what have you been up to these years?
Me? Just the usual.
These years, I've had seventeen or eighteen girlfriends.
I go to five or six nightclubs a week. I have lots of experience with women.
Oh...
That's fine. Men who grow tired of playing are good men.
But I played too much. I even had a child with another woman.
The child is in kindergarten now.
You have a kid?
That's fine. I'm scared of pain, so now I don't have to give birth.
Drink less.
Do you want another drink?
Sure.
Cheers.
The truth is, you don't know what my biggest headache is right now.
Awhile ago, I went gambling. I lost so much money.
I'm being chased for debt. They're so pressing that I...
Running away from creditors?
This is my specialty. Come with me. I know how to do this.
You still want such a scum of a man?
Yeah.
Let's go over there.
Sit here.
What's going on?
She seems to have encountered some problems.
She is in her most fragile moment. Let's not tell her about us now.
I must make her give up this idea. She can't continue thinking this way.
Is that why you told so many lies?
To add further, why did you keep offering her alcohol?
I wanted to get her drunk so that we could have time alone.
What are the both of you doing?
Xiao-- Xiao Qin, listen to me.
I don't want to listen. Zhang Guo Guo, I hate you!
Xiao Qin!
Hey!
What are you doing?
Listen to me. Don't go after her. It's useless. Just her let think it through.
No.
Why are you--?
I can sit on my own.
Wait a moment!
I saw you at Guo Guo's house in Xiping.
So what?
Hey.
Did she send you here to laugh at me?
Who? Zhang Guo Guo?
Who even is Zhang Guo Guo? Am I related to her?
That's right. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be living so horribly. When I wasn't around,
she stole Li Yun Kai from me. She pretended to take me in
and hugged him behind my back.
Don't say that. After all, you left not too long ago.
Your boyfriend must be very sad. It's normal for them to comfort each other.
Comfort each other? They were clearly stabbing me in the back.
Anyway, no matter what, I won't go back to see her face again.
I really can't help you much.
Here's some money. Just take it.
No.
It's late. Find a place to stay. You can pay me back when you have the money later.
Thank you. You are a good person.
Do you miss me? You called me here in such a hurry.
When Xiao Qin found out that we were together she ran off. She hasn't been back since last night.
What if she meets a bad person?
Come here.
She is an adult. Don't worry on her behalf.
But...
There are traffic police in the street and there are police in the Public Security Bureau, too. Would she be eaten by wolves? Sit.
If we weren't together, she wouldn't have run off.
Why do you still not get it? She would have eventually found out that we were together.
I already said, she's an adult. She has the ability to choose her own actions. Don't worry.
Daddy, I missed you!
Hello, baby! Come here now. Give me a hug.
Le Tong is such a good girl. Were you happy at the kindergarten today?
Yes!
Le Tong, you can't call him dad anymore.
Why not?
Mom, this way, Dad will be sad.
Aren't you scared Mom will be sad?
Yes, but Mom will be happy if Dad is happy
because Dad can make Mom happy, then Mom won't be sad.
What kind of logic is this?
It's such a simple logic and you still don't understand? I strongly agree with Le Tong.
You are spoiling Daughter.
Daughter is smart just like her daddy. Don't you know?
What kind of father are you?
Le Tong's dad!
Le Tong is such a good girl. Do you think it's good for Dad and Mom to be together?
Of course, that's good. I'll have a mom and a dad. I'll be like other kids.
Besides, Mom likes Dad and Dad likes Mom so, of course, you should be together.
You hear that?
Le Tong, if an auntie whom I don't like doesn't want Dad and Mom to be together, what should we do?
Just ignore her. You are my dad, not hers.
See? The kid is even smarter than you. Enough.
If it's something that even a child understands, Xu Xiao Qin will understand.
Moreover, there was nothing going on between us. Wouldn't it be normal to tell her?
Okay, don't think about this anymore.
Seriously. Daddy, it's so embarrassing.
How can you be like that in front of the kid?
What's wrong? Was it wrong for me to bite you? Let Daddy bite you, too.
Stop! Stop it!
Jin Yi Bei?
Isn't this when Guo Guo was a child? Looks like her parents never gave up looking for her.
Will they arrest me?
No way. Even though I accidentally hit her
I did raise her for so many years.
If I give her back, Yu Xin wouldn't have obstacles anymore.
I'll take this step by step.
Teacher,
please try my fish.
From now on, don't call me teacher. Call me "mom."
I forgot again.
Mom!
Since I'm going to accept you as my daughter, you should start getting used to calling me mom.
Is Grand Lead Embroiderer here?
She's out right now. Go wait in the living room.
Oh, okay.
Hello?
Hi, is this Jin Yi Bei's dad?
I got your number from the missing poster.
Oh, from the missing poster? Yes, yes, yes.
Have you seen our child?
I saw the picture on the flyer
and realized the child I adopted was your daughter.
I've been looking for her parents for so many years. I asked around everywhere.
I finally found you.
Is she with you now? I want to meet up.
Oh, she's not home right now but I can come find you.
The address is the same one on the flyer?
Yes! It's the same address. We'll all wait for you at home.
Okay.
Is there news about Yi Bei?
Yi Bei?
Is there really news about her?
Really?
Someone found the missing flyer. Yi Bei is still alive.
It's been seventeen years. Yi Bei is still alive and she's coming home!
This is wonderful! I can't believe I have the luck
to see my granddaughter again!
The one who adopted Jin Yi Bei? Could it be Mom?
Is she crazy?!
