(Signing Ceremony)

It's almost time.

I think it's almost over.

Arrange the shuttles in advance.

Don't waste time.

Okay, Manager.

I'll head over now.

Okay, go ahead.

I'll leave it to you.

The weather is nice today.

Mr. Yan, look over here!

Mr. Yan, over here!

Mr. Yan, over here!

Mr. Yan, look over here!

See you later.

What's wrong, Dad?

Did you see the news?

The signing ceremony went well.

Of course.

Now that the cooperation is
settled, you can come back.

Don't waste time in Hang City.

I'll handle it myself.

You're marrying Shen
Xifan to go against me.

Don't you think that's childish?

With your little achievements now,

you really think

you've fully established
yourself in this industry?

I've already said

that I'll handle it myself.

Alright.

I'd like to see what you
can actually achieve.

Unit 7, Room 502?

Yes.

What's the owner's last name?

Shen.

Yes.

Please come in.

Mr. Yan, it's done.

Ms. Liu,

I saw Yan on the public
account of the hotel

where Ms. Shen is working.

It really is him.

What is this?

Their company

is holding an event at Gunan Huating Hotel?

Why didn't Ms. Shen tell us?

I knew it.

She's been in a really bad mood lately.

How long has Yan been back?

It's him, right? Look at this photo.

Definitely.

Where are you going?

To get some spicy hot pot.

You still have the mood
to eat spicy hot pot?

Your house is on fire.

Are you kidding me?

I just left my house.

Look.

Chen Qiang?

Yes.

Just now, someone who looked

really rich and powerful

went to Shen's house to propose marriage.

Did he look like a boss?

Yes.

Thank you.

Mr. Yan, everything's here.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

Long time no see.

Yes, yes.

What would you like to drink?

I...

I remember you like coffee, right?

No need to trouble yourself,
Mr. Shen. I'll just have some water.

You can make do with that?

Please, have a seat.

Thank you, Mr. Shen.

Well,

it's been a while

since I heard from you.

I was busy with my startup last year.

Fortunately, the company is doing well now,

and we've won some awards.

I came back this time

mainly to handle

the company's move to the tech park.

I just came back from the
signing ceremony this afternoon

and rushed over to see you.

Oh, right, Mr. and Mrs. Shen,

I brought some gifts for you from abroad.

Let me open them and show you.

Yan, sit first.

Well, Yan,

what do you mean by this?

I think the breakup last year

must have

made you and Xifan

feel uncomfortable.

But I came back this time

to get back together with Xifan.

When the time is right, we'll get married.

The breakup happened

partly because

I was too busy at the time,

and partly because

I didn't come to terms with it

and didn't want her to study abroad.

That's what led to where we are now.

But I've come to terms with it.

Letting her study abroad

and broaden her horizons is a good thing.

Nowadays, going abroad isn't that hard.

If she wants to go to any school,

I can arrange it right away.

We've been together for seven years,

and taking some time apart

could actually help our
relationship in the long run.

Besides, we know each other so well.

We're a perfect match for marriage.

Aren't you staying at Xifan's hotel?

Why didn't she come back with you?

Does she know you're here?

Is marriage a one-person thing?

Do you know what Xifan thinks?

Mrs. Shen, please don't get angry.

Of course I know

it's not easy to get back with Xifan,

but I will do my best.

Besides, you don't really know
what happened between us.

The breakup happened because
Xifan made a mistake first.

I never mentioned it, did I?

This time, I'm here with sincerity.

What are you doing in my house?

Visiting your parents.

What's wrong?

Visiting my parents?

What do you want to say?

You want me to marry you?

What do you want me
to do to make you happy?

Have you ever cared about my feelings?

Well, have you...

Have you ever cared about my feelings?

I'm begging for your forgiveness.

What about you?

You just keep avoiding me,

making me look like a fool,
searching for you everywhere.

Like a fool?

When we broke up,

wasn't this how you treated me?

When we broke up, you sent me a message

and then disappeared, Yan Heng.

Do you know how much I wanted to find you

and how much I wanted
you to reply to my message?

At that time,

I would've gone back to you like a dog,

apologizing obediently.

But where were you?

Why is there someone else here?

Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen.

This is the medicinal soup I made.

But it's for four people.

I'm not sure if it's enough for all of us.

Here, take it.

Xifan.

Xifan.

Do you hate me so much now

because you've fallen for him?

What could a poor TCM physician

give you?

And what about you?

Besides some stupid money,

what can you give her?

Listen carefully.

Only those who have nothing to offer

would say something like this.

Yan Heng,

please get out of my house.

Mr. Shen...

No one here welcomes you!

Get out now!

You only care about yourself,

never considering how others feel.

Working at the hotel,

you should keep a professional attitude

and keep your distance from the customers.

Wasn't this part of your training
when you just started working here?

Am I working this hard for myself?

What exactly are you dissatisfied with?

How can you be so willful?

Do you know how much trouble

your willfulness has caused everyone?

Who can stand you?

Do you want to see how sad and hurt

he can be for you?

Or do you just want to
prove how charming you are?

Why aren't you wearing
socks in this cold weather?

Senior He has always been

a very gentle and kind person.

But that doesn't mean

you can treat him so casually.

You don't deserve him at all.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

Xifan,

you did nothing wrong.

It was my fault today.

I shouldn't have opened the door for Yan.

How dare he come to our house?

How did he treat Xifan

when they broke up?

How dare he sit here, shamelessly saying

he wants to marry her?

Alright, alright.

Don't be so angry.

Now that we have
clarified everything today,

it'll be fine from now on.

Did you hear what Xifan said today?

Yes.

It broke my heart.

When Xifan broke up with him,

he treated her that way.

She came home without saying a word,

keeping it from us.

She couldn't sleep every night,

suffering from insomnia,

and looked so exhausted.

She must have been

heartbroken inside.

After that,

I arranged blind dates for her,

constantly asking her

to do this and that.

I'm her mother.

What did I do?

She was thinking of us.

During the New Year,

she seemed to be feeling better.

But then things went wrong again.

I noticed it at the time,

but I didn't think to call Lin

and Ya.

If I had called them,

she wouldn't have been so sad, right?

Come on.

Alright, alright.

Don't be angry.

Let me give you a massage.

Feeling better?

Yes.

What are you looking at?

Clean it up!

What's going on?

Mr. Yan is drunk

and smashed everything.

Mr. Yan,

you'll have to compensate
for everything you damaged.

Get lost.

What now?

I said I'm not going back!

Take photos and videos of everything,

and go to the finance department
tomorrow to assess the damages.

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

Xifan.

Senior Lin,

I took a day off tomorrow.

Please keep an eye on the situation
in the housekeeping division for me.

Call me if anything happens.

Okay, no problem.

It's Friday tomorrow.

Take a good rest these days.

Don't think about anything. Just relax.

Thank you.

Bye.

Come in.

You're up?

He sent you some medicine.

He said it's for calming your nerves

and asked you to drink it while it's hot.

Okay.

I'll drink it soon.

Why do you have to bear
everything on your own?

Why didn't you tell us when you were hurt?

You even lied to us,

saying it was a peaceful breakup.

But you suffered a lot.

Didn't it hurt?

I'll say no more.

I didn't want you to worry.

But we are your family.

Remember,

no matter how old you are,

in your dad and my eyes,

you're always just a kid.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I thought I could handle it myself.

From now on, no matter what happens,

you mustn't hide it from us.

Got it?

Yes.

Sent it to the headquarters
of Zhongyu Tech, right?

Yes.

The name is Yan Heng, right?

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

Did you brew today's medicine?

It smells fresh.

Yes.

It's for relieving anxiety
and calming the nerves.

I specially added acorus calamus for you.

I took a sip.

Drink the medicine and take a nap.

When you wake up,
everything will get better.

Is it done?

Yes.

Time to eat.

Have a seat. Don't be shy.

Thank you for coming

to keep our Ms. Shen company.

Mr. Shen, you don't need
to be so polite with us.

Alright, I won't.

Right, Mrs. Shen?

Yes, that's right.

Don't be polite with us either.

Come over for dinner
whenever you have time.

It's the first time I've seen
you two after the New Year.

Your uncle has learned to
make medicated dishes now,

and they taste pretty good.

Try some.

Xiangya, aren't you a food critic?

Give us a review.

Oh, okay.

Medicinal dishes, huh?

Oh, right.

Thank you, Mrs. Shen.

Let me tell you something funny.

Yesterday, Yan Heng went back
to his room and caused a scene,

smashing everything.

We assessed the damage this morning,

and it's going to cost a lot to compensate.

He told me

that his dad scolded him
terribly because of this.

Even Mr. Yan knows about this?

Why did he make such a big scene?

It was mainly embarrassing.

After all, he's the boss of a company now.

Getting drunk and causing a scene

is a bad influence.

What was his original check-out date?

Wednesday.

Oh right, the General
Manager talked to me today,

saying that he plans
to refuse his extension

after it expires.

He is a VIP customer.

Is the General Manager
really willing to do that?

If the General Manager

heard you say that,

he'd definitely be upset again.

This was something he brought up himself.

He said Yan Heng has a bad personality,

has gone too far,

and is too difficult to deal with.

Let's stop talking about this.

Remember to treat your
General Manager to a meal

to thank him for his concern.

And bring these two with you

so you can have fun together.

Don't worry. Thank you.

Eat more today.

Today's full of good news.

We can have a little wine.

- Why do you always find excuses to drink?
- Mr. Shen.

Come on. It's the weekend.

I don't have class tomorrow.

It's fine. I'll have a drink with Mr. Shen.

- Great.
- Xiangya.

That's great, Xiangya.

Just a little.

Don't drink a couple of
glasses with Mr. Shen

and then turn into this:

Cheers, Mr. Shen!

Here.

This is for Xiangya.

Thank you, Mrs. Shen.

Shut up.

I have an announcement to make.

These two

are in a relationship.

- Really?
- Great!

That's wonderful.

I'm really not being a
Monday morning quarterback.

The first time I saw them,

I knew they'd end up together.

The feeling was really strong.

How long have you two known each other?

Almost 10 years.

10 years?

I knew it 10 years ago.

Really?

Really.

Why would I lie to you? Pour the wine.

How about this?

Today, for this good news of yours,

each of us

must have a drink, okay?

Mr. Shen, I won't drink.

Let me pour the wine for you.

Why?

You have to drink.

Why aren't you drinking?

I have to clean up the mess afterward.

You're in our house.
You don't need to do that.

Just drink.

Yes.

Alright, then I'll just drink a little.

Just drink a little.

It's fine.

Today, I can drink

because of you two.

Come on.

Come on.

Welcome.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

Thank you.

You drank it all?

Then let me...

Come on.

It was this kid showing his sincerity.

Kid,

show your sincerity more often.

Why doesn't Mrs. Shen let me drink?

She's afraid that after I get drunk,

I might start reciting in English,
and she won't understand.

Here, Xiangya,

this is for both of you.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

(Housekeeping)

Xifan,

it's been a year since we parted,

and you've grown to like woody scents.

I still like you.

But the fragrance in the sachet

will eventually fade.

This is from your favorite salon brand.

I had them customize this perfume for you

and am giving you the exclusive formula.

Just to prove

you are my one and only.

I don't like perfume anymore.

I don't even remember

the last time I wore it.

Some people say

a fragrance represents a person.

Well,

the past me

should have been very far

from the present me.

So far that I've already forgotten her.

It's just that I always looked back,

so I didn't notice.

Let the past me

stay here.

The present me

should go and find the person
who has always been by my side,

immediately.

(Spring)

Why are you here?

I...

Do you need me to do something?

You...

I was just about to throw out the trash.

I'll go with you.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let me send you home.

I...

My sachet

has no scent anymore.

Can you get me a new one?

You suddenly came to me

just for this?

Actually...

He Suye...

He Suye,

I like you.

If you're still willing,

can you be my boyfriend?

Have you thought it through?

Yes.

So...

do you...

I'm 32 years old.

Do we really need to
start from holding hands?

After you.

Okay.

What size shoes do you wear?

I can wear either size 6.5 or 7.

Got it.

After you change your shoes, you
can sit in the living room for a while.

I need to change my shoes too.

Okay.

I'll go then.

Why are you here?

Why did you make so many of them?

Before,

whenever I thought
about it, I would make one.

I just never had the
chance to give them out.

He Suye.

I'm sorry.

I must have made you wait a long time.

No. Don't overthink it.

You can throw away the old one.

It doesn't have any scent left.

Also, it has acorus calamus leaves in it,

which calm the mind and open the senses.

You don't need it now, do you?

I'm not throwing it
away. It's too meaningful.

Besides,

Besides, the acorus
calamus leaves really worked.

If I had known,

I would have asked you to put in more.

I can't put in too much of them.

You can.

If you had put in more back then,

maybe

I would have come to my senses earlier.

Look.

Even my sense of smell knows

that I've fallen in love with you long ago.

But why did I

only realize it today?

It's okay.

It's not too late.

Now is just the right time.

In my eyes,

every day

you get better and more deserving of love

than the last.

So,

from now on,

just focus on loving yourself.

As for the rest,

leave it to me.
