A Love So Romantic Episode 28 Recap
> A Love So Romantic Recap
Cheng Qianyu was looking through an album containing drawings of Gu Yanxi and Su Xiaowan when Gu Yanxi had a vivid dream. He dreamt of kissing Su Xiaowan under a wishing tree, but then she left him, causing him to wake up with a shout of "Don't go!" Frightened, Cheng Qianyu quickly hid the album in the wardrobe. Upon waking, Gu Yanxi immediately asked Cheng Qianyu about Wan'er.
Cheng Qianyu, visibly upset, revealed that Su Xiaowan was an imposter, not the real Gu Xiaowan. This brought back fragmented memories for Gu Yanxi of Su Xiaowan's confession under the tree, and Cheng Qianyu further admitted that she was not the one with whom he had exchanged vows in the past. Gu Yanxi, despite his incomplete memory, was insistent on finding Su Xiaowan.
Mammy Liu, watching the scene, admonished Cheng Qianyu for speaking the truth and decided that they must act quickly. Gu Yanxi then went to his Grandmother to inquire about Su Xiaowan's whereabouts, expressing that Su Xiaowan was deeply important to him. However, Grandmother believed that Cheng Qianyu, being from a respectable family, was the more suitable wife.
She urged Gu Yanxi to treat Cheng Qianyu kindly, reminding him that Qianyu had stood by him through his illness and the family's troubles without complaint. She warned him that if he were to disappoint Qianyu, she would disown him. As Gu Yanxi left Grandmother's presence, he encountered Cheng Qianyu. She sincerely confessed her profound affection for him and her hope that they could grow old together, embracing him tightly.
This embrace was witnessed by Su Xiaowan, who turned and walked away. Gu Yanxi, however, gently pushed Cheng Qianyu away, explaining that he could not ignore his true feelings and had to find Su Xiaowan, offering only his apologies to Cheng Qianyu. Meanwhile, Grandmother confided in her servant, admitting her own conflicted feelings about Su Xiaowan, whom she saw as an innocent and genuine person. However, a steward arrived with crucial information.
He had investigated Su Xiaowan's background and discovered that her identity was entirely fabricated, and worse, she had colluded with Scar Hui in Gu Yanxi's kidnapping. Enraged by this deception, Grandmother ordered that Su Xiaowan be immediately thrown out of the mansion, even as a heavy rain fell. Outside the mansion gates in the pouring rain, Su Xiaowan was expelled. Cheng Qianyu and her servant approached her, handing over the album.
Cheng Qianyu claimed that Gu Yanxi wanted it returned, and that he wished for Su Xiaowan to let go of the past and start anew, as he himself was no longer the same person. Su Xiaowan, clutching the album, was overcome with emotion, recalling her various encounters with Gu Yanxi as tears streamed down her face, mingling with the raindrops. As Su Xiaowan wept in despair, Xin Ziqian appeared with an umbrella.
She clung to him as if he were her last hope, sobbing uncontrollably. Xin Ziqian looked at her with a pained expression. He quickly arranged for a carriage and took Su Xiaowan away under the cover of night. Shortly after their departure, Gu Yanxi returned to the mansion, spotted the fallen album, and, realizing Su Xiaowan was gone, rushed out to find her.
Three years later, Su Xiaowan and Xin Ziqian were seen setting up a stall to sell handmade jewelry. Concurrently, Gu Yanxi was still relentlessly searching for Su Xiaowan, spending money to inquire about her whereabouts, though he often fell victim to imposters and scams. Despite the numerous deceptions, he never gave up hope, pursuing every lead.
He passed a sugar painting vendor and bought a treat, the sight of it stirring memories of making and eating sugar paintings with Su Xiaowan. Su Xiaowan's jewelry business was doing well until a man appeared, selling fake Hetian Jade, which attracted customers away from her stall. Su Xiaowan, unfazed, splashed a bowl of water on his "jade" items, revealing them to be painted rocks as the color washed off.
The scammer quickly fled, and customers flocked back to Su Xiaowan's stall. At that very moment, Gu Yanxi passed by the bustling crowd, but he and Su Xiaowan, surrounded by people, failed to see each other. Gu Yanxi's servant, noticing his master's ill health and the long journey, urged him to rest at a nearby inn rather than continuing the search that night. Reluctantly, Gu Yanxi agreed, still unaware of how close he had been to finding Su Xiaowan.
