On the day you didn't show,
do you know how much time she spent looking for you?
She almost walked all the way home from the radio station.
All night long,
she was nervous the whole time before she found you.
But I'm sure she didn't even tell you that.
Being with you,
Xiao-tong is always forcing herself to accommodate you,
even though she doesn't always tell you.
But if you care about her enough,
I'm sure you've noticed.
I like Xiao-tong Guan.
I hid my feelings for her before, since I didn't want her to feel pressured.
But now I've realized,
she doesn't seem to be as happy as I thought she would be.
Well... I won't hold back anymore.
That's not necessary.
Because with me around, you don't have a chance.
Whatever you say or do,
I couldn't care less.
I only care about...
Xiao-tong Guan. That's all.
You don't need to care what I just said,
but you should remember what I'm about to say.
I will protect Xiao-tong Guan in my own way,
if someone continues to take her for granted.
Jia-wei Ji, what's the matter?
What happened back there?
Just get in the car.
What happened with you and Zi-yan Xiang? Why are you upset?
Why didn't you tell me the producer from the radio show
gave you a hard time?
He didn't do that exactly.
It's just that we had some problems on the radio show,
so it's only normal that they're upset.
You had problems because of me.
Not only did I fail to protect you, I...
Why didn't you tell me?
Something did happen.
I made you upset and someone gave you a hard time.
Xin-xin knows. Allen knows.
Even stubble man knows.
How come I didn't know?
I didn't want you to worry. I can deal with things on my own.
Do you think I won't worry when I find out these things from other people?
Didn't I tell you?
No matter what it is that you're thinking, I want to know about it.
But I don't want this to affect you.
You already have enough to worry about.
Anyway, I was only really upset during the few hours I couldn't find you.
You pulled me out of there
before I could finish the task my boss asked me to do.
Zi-yan Xiang is going to collaborate with our company.
He's our client. I can't treat clients like that.
Stop calling him "stubble man."
He's also a good friend of mine. Don't be so hostile to him.
Xiao-tong Guan.
Don't you know? He...
His intentions toward you aren't as pure as you think.
Why won't you listen to me?
No matter what, he's a friend who's helped me out a lot.
Xiao-tong Guan.
What?
Seat belt.
What's the matter?
Come here.
Why won't you eat?
Xiao-tong Guan spoiled you rotten. You've become a picky eater.
Come on, eat, Polo.
You're even running away from me.
She knows that I'm not blaming her, right?
I'm only blaming myself.
Being with you,
Xiao-tong is always forcing herself to accommodate you,
even though she doesn't always tell you.
But if you care about her enough,
I'm sure you've noticed.
Could it be,
Polo knows more about what Xiao-tong's thinking than me?
Xiao-tong, your knife work is beautiful.
Who is it that said you can't cook?
It's because you're a famous chef.
Excellent students come from great instructors.
I only want to learn from you. Is that right?
By the way, guess what food I hate the most.
Let me think. Carrot?
- Bell pepper? - No.
- Bitter melon? - No.
What is it?
The thing I hate the most is durian.
Me, too! I hate durian!
It's stinky and nasty.
Hey!
Xiao-tong Guan makes me worry about her so much!
That restaurant owner, Zi-yan Xiang, already came to her rescue.
Boss, this is where you're wrong.
She's your girlfriend. You should've come to her rescue.
Wait a minute.
That stubble man almost pulled a fast one on me.
She's my girlfriend.
I should rescue her myself.
Hello, Xin-xin?
Don't hang up! I have something to ask you.
- That's great! - Bravo!
Nice!
How come it's you guys? Where's Xiao-tong Guan?
We're here for the meeting, of course.
She's been put in charge of another project.
Xiao-tong Guan has always been in charge of this project.
How can we have a meeting without her?
How can we make decisions?
Why can't we have a meeting?
Mr. Ji, from now on,
I will be personally in charge of this project.
I hope we can get on very well together.
Xiao-tong Guan and our team have been working well together.
We have established a rapport with her.
I don't understand the logic of changing the lead person.
I felt like it.
Just kidding, of course.
Xiao-tong got a new project recently.
Her workload increased as a result. I don't want her to be overworked.
But most of the project content has been set,
and we've had previous collaboration experience.
It shouldn't be too much work for her.
Since the content is set,
and we've had a previous successful collaboration experience,
then it shouldn't matter who's in charge of this project.
I believe if two companies want to collaborate,
then it should be a win-win situation.
If a project hurts my employee physically and emotionally,
and negatively impacts her efficiency and mood at work,
then as her boss,
I should stand up and reconsider the possibility and necessity
of continuing this collaboration.
Don't you think so?
I'm sorry I'm late.
My boss told me this meeting is very important.
She told me to dress more formally.
What's wrong? It's not suitable?
No, it's very nice. You look great.
By the way, I wonder if Chef Francois would support our picnic project?
The primary goal of this project
is to raise funds for children's school lunch in remote areas.
We're pairing the fundraiser with your matchmaking event,
so this project has multiple benefits. I'm sure he'll be interested.
I did some research on him yesterday.
He has a big heart. He's a philanthropist.
So, don't worry. You've done everything you can.
Now, just hold your head up high and come with me.
We'll just explain the project to him.
- Let's go. - Sure.
How come everyone's so quiet when I'm here?
Although we seem to have gotten through the meeting fast.
If you have nothing else to add,
then we'll get going.
All right.
I'll walk you out.
See you.
- What's going on? - Who knows?
Why didn't she read it? She forgot her phone?
Boss, it's been no more than three seconds since you texted her.
You should give Xiao-tong some time.
Did I say who I sent the text to?
Don't presume anything.
Judging from the length of that text, it had to be Xiao-tong Guan.
You'd never say so much to anyone else.
That's right. All I ever get is "Got it" or "All right,"
two-word texts from you.
Buddy, at least he texts you two words.
I only get one-word texts, like "sure," "fine," "oh."
All these one-word texts make it plain his indifference towards me.
Not just him. We also send you one-word texts.
You two, quit your meaningless chitchat.
Xiao-tong Guan, reply when you get this message, ASAP.
I need to ask you something.
Things do come full circle.
"Xiao-tong Guan, contact me ASAP. I need to ask you something."
Zhi-yu He used to say this to Boss all the time.
What are you talking about?
We see it all too clearly.
Zhi-yu was the domineering one in your relationship.
Now it's the other way around with you and Xiao-tong.
This is the food chain of love.
That's right. Relationships mimic the food chain.
The dominant groups have control over weaker groups.
Boss, you're the old Zhi-yu.
Xiao-tong is the old you.
Simply put, Boss is Xiao-tong's Zhi-yu. Xiao-tong is Zhi-yu's Boss.
What are you talking about? You're making it more complicated.
You're too simple-minded.
Anyway, I fully support this cold war between Xiao-tong and Boss.
It's the same with my wife.
The weaker one should rebel once in a while.
Otherwise, she'd be treated as the lowest level creature in relationships.
She'd lose all dignity and vanish into thin air.
What in the world?
Did I say you could discuss my relationship?
Back to business. I propose an extempore motion.
- What extempore motion? They're all gone. - Of course, it's my personal business.
Right now, I have a very important thing
that requires your assistance.
Boss, didn't you just say...
not to discuss your relationship?
Turns out Chef Francois is so down to earth.
- He immediately jumped on board! - I told you not to be nervous.
You should've told me you're good friends with him.
I wouldn't be so nervous then.
I'm surprised to hear that you two spend your spare time
teaching kids how to cook.
The concept of eating healthy should start young.
The best way to do it is to teach them how to cook.
Kids usually dislike veggies, carrot, bell pepper, bitter melon, etc.
But if they make the food, they'll eat these ingredients without complaint.
- Really? - Yeah.
This project is quite interesting.
Now I'll be teaching kids from an orphanage to cook
in a couple of days. You're welcome to come along.
Sure, I'd love that. It can be a warm up for the picnic.
Is it Jia-wei Ji?
Has he apologized to you for missing the radio show?
He apologized to me that night.
Something did happen to him that day. He didn't mean to miss it.
Are you going to forgive him just like that?
It's not that serious, really.
He got upset, though,
that I didn't tell him my worries and feelings.
That's right.
It is your weakness.
This is your good quality, and your shortcoming.
As Dr. Love,
you're used to listening.
You rarely share your feelings.
It's not ideal to hide your feelings in a relationship.
I didn't know your take on it would be the same as Jia-wei Ji.
You seem so surprised.
- Does he badmouth me that much? - No, he doesn't.
That's fine.
In every love story, there is a villain.
Allow me to be the villain in your love story.
What does that mean?
On the day of the press conference,
I told Jia-wei Ji...
I like you.
I get it!
No wonder he seemed so hostile when he talked about you that day.
I finally understand why.
- I mean... - Thank you!
I know you probably said that just to make him mad.
I'll explain to him when I get a chance, so he won't take it the wrong way.
You shouldn't do that.
I think it's a good thing
that I make him nervous once in a while.
Xi-men, I'll double check the location later.
I'll handle the equipment.
Thank you, buddies.
Let's go.
Why won't she reply?
Him, again?
- See you on Friday. - Call me then.
Why are you seeing him on Friday?
Also, why are you asking someone else's girlfriend to call you?
Xiao-tong, see you later.
Why did you come back together?
Our company is collaborating with Zi-yan's restaurant.
So? Why are you dressed up like this?
Who said you could look so pretty while I'm not around?
This is for work.
Xiao-tong, we're having a meeting.
I should go in.
How come that gaze reminds me of stubble man?
Why won't she look up at me?
Xiao-tong, it's Ladies' Night today. I have to go.
I'm going to meet up with my buddies. See you later, Xiao-tong.
Wait...
I was hoping we could have dinner together.
I wanted to talk to you guys.
Jia-wei Ji, I don't mean to break our promise,
but I can't find anyone to pig out with me.
So I have to eat alone.
Xiao-tong.
Hi.
- What a coincidence. - What is it?
I just got off from work.
I can't find anyone to have dinner with.
Are you free right now?
Yeah, I'm free. Let's have dinner together.
Sure. I already booked the restaurant. Let's go.
- That was fast. - Yes, let's get in.
- I'll get in first. - Sure.
Come in, Xiao-tong.
Hold on a second.
This way.
Xiao-tong, stand right here. And I'll be right back.
Wait...
The sweetest line is the hardest to say
When I'm closest to you The sound is deafening
Too much future on my mind
Although I only want to hold your hand
It's not yet the right time To say the thing I want to say the most
What can I do to cheer you up?
Am I over-thinking it?
To you, everything sounds like an excuse
I want to say "I love you"
Why is it so difficult?
We've heard too many theories On being in love
Yet we hesitate too much on the simplest line
I want to say "I love you"
Yet it's so difficult
The relationship between two people
Has different meanings
It needs more confirmation
For an "I love you"
I want to say "I love you"
Why is it so difficult?
We're heard too many theories On being in love
Yet we hesitate too much On the simplest line
I want to say "I love you"
Without a hint of diffidence
Being together means
From getting to know each other To understanding one another
Let me keep showing you that I'm worthy So that you will say
"I do"
Xiao-tong Guan.
This is the Love Mission
that I didn't get to do last time.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't there that day.
I'm sorry for letting you down.
Everything else I want to say...
It's been said in that song.
Can you promise me one thing?
You can get mad,
however, you're not allowed to ignore me.
Boss, your Love Mission
was aired live on the radio show True Love has No Distance.
I'm on the line. The host is waiting for you.
- You guys... - What? Go on.
Hello? Are you the boyfriend?
Hi.
Congratulations on completing the belated Love Mission.
According to our tradition, for the last part of this mission,
please proclaim loudly your love for her.
I am Jia-wei Ji.
I am the boyfriend of Dr. Love, Xiao-tong Guan.
This is my Love Mission.
Congratulations on the success
of Xiao-tong Guan and Jia-wei Ji's Love Mission.
Although it was kind of embarrassing,
I made an exception just for you.
Jia-wei Ji, you're so good!
I'm going to cry!
It's not even about me!
Did you guys hear that?
That was Jia-wei Ji, the boyfriend of our guest from last week,
which was Xiao-tong Guan,
the Internet celebrity also known as Dr. Love.
Mister, can you turn up the radio?
Although for some unknown reason, Mr. Ji could not make it last week.
In his own way, he still proclaimed to the world,
he is the man who won over our Dr. Love.
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Do you feel the same? Are you moved by their love?
You're telling me, what I said on the stage earlier
also went out on the air live?
You two are getting too bold!
It's not me. It was Shao-qiang!
Hey!
Jia-wei, you asked Xin-xin what the Love Mission was.
You're putting so much thought into it, as your buddies,
we must help you make it better.
Jia-wei Ji.
I left something behind at the office. Xin-xin is coming with me to get it.
I'll drive you. They can walk.
- What? - That's fine.
I'll see you tomorrow at your house.
My house?
We should get going. Bye-bye.
Bye.
It seems that Jia-wei's performance did the trick tonight.
"That's fine. I'll see you tomorrow at your house."
Xiao-tong is so direct. She's in the married couple mode already.
So sweet!
You two!
Boss, you may own this company,
but you can't write off this apology expense.
I've practiced so many times.
I should be all right, as long as I follow the recipe.
Xiao-tong, I'm home.
Welcome home. Dinner is ready.
You made all these?
I'm really impressed.
I'll take back the critique that you can't cook.
These dishes look...
and smell so great!
Your cooking improved a lot!
I can promise you, these dishes will taste as good as they look.
However, I didn't make any of them.
You didn't make them? Who did?
Jia-wei.
It's been a long time since you two saw each other.
I should get going.
- You two must have a lot to talk about. - Where are you going?
You haven't eaten anything.
- I'll eat when I get home. - That's too late.
We can't finish these dishes anyway.
Yes, Ms. Guan.
You helped out so much earlier.
I can't let you go home hungry. Please stay and eat with us.
Sit.
All right.
By the way, when I ran into Mama Ji by the front door,
I was so surprised.
I suppose.
It's been so many years.
Why are you here?
I was living abroad.
I only recently came back to Taiwan.
So...
You were living abroad this whole time?
Yes.
Couldn't you come visit once in a while?
I should get going.
Mama Ji!
Jia-wei Ji!
- Scoot over. - It's fine. I'll do the dishes.
Are you all right?
