Begin Again Episode 1 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
At the wedding venue, waiters speculated about today's bride, Lu Fangning, General Manager of Luming Group, the daughter of the Lu family. Her decisive behavior led everyone to wonder whose arms such an impossibly perfect bride would walk into. Walking down the pure white corridor, Lu Fangning, wearing a pure white wedding dress, gracefully approached the figure opposite her.
Once Ling Rui and Lu Fangning stood side-by-side, Lu Fangning, truly unlike ordinary people, pulled Ling Rui into her embrace and loudly declared her dominance to all the guests. Two weeks ago, Lu Fangning came to the company for inspection, methodically arranging work, and strictly disciplining her brother Lu Fangyu's reckless spending and borrowing habits. But old Mr. Lu still urged his daughter to go on blind dates. Ignoring her father's suggestion, Lu Fangning went to the board meeting.
The directors were unhappy that the young Lu Fangning held significant power, but Lu Fangning also couldn't stand this group of old fuddy-duddies. However, the Infiniti project she valued highly was stuck at the board voting stage. To lobby for votes, Lu Fangning brought her assistant to visit one of the directors who had just given birth: Xiao Yingzhi. But before Lu Fangning could even begin to persuade her, Xiao Yingzhi stated that she would not vote in favor.
Lu Fangning disdained the fulfilling life of having children that Xiao Yingzhi spoke of, but Xiao Yingzhi smiled sweetly and let Lu Fangning try to spend time alone with her baby. Lu Fangning, encountering a baby up close for the first time, was instantly overwhelmed by the child's naive crying. While Lu Fangning was utterly bewildered and helpless, Doctor Ling Rui walked in, gently picked up the baby, and softly coaxed it.
The baby, which had been crying incessantly, smiled after seeing Ling Rui's face. To soothe the child, the two leaned intimately together watching the baby, and this scene was captured by Xiao Yingzhi. Seeing her mother arrive, Lu Fangning threw down a bank card and left, not giving Xiao Yingzhi a chance to speak at all. While on the phone, Lu Fangning walked through the hospital and accidentally stumbled into Ling Rui's office, witnessing him changing clothes.
Ling Rui felt it was quite strange for this woman before him to stare without blinking. Not only did Lu Fangning not avoid the situation, she even prompted Ling Rui to continue with great interest. He had planned to question Lu Fangning, but unexpectedly, a colleague arrived at Ling Rui's office with documents. In a hurry, Ling Rui and Lu Fangning hid behind the changing curtain.
Lu Fangning had intended to play a joke on Ling Rui, but as soon as she pulled back the curtain, the colleague saw Ling Rui, dishevelled, and the beautiful Lu Fangning. Watching the colleague hurry away, Ling Rui was very embarrassed, but Lu Fangning openly expressed her desire to get to know Ling Rui and actively asked for his contact information.
The honest and proper Ling Rui merely advised Lu Fangning to be careful next time to avoid being taken advantage of by someone with ill intentions. Though she agreed verbally, a thought had definitely been planted in Lu Fangning's mind. After leaving the hospital, Lu Fangning went to see her father, Lu Wenbin. Their relationship was strained, and Lu Fangning and her father argued about marriage.
Her father used the condition of rejecting the Infiniti project with one vote to order Lu Fangning to marry and have a child within a year. The conflict with her father, the distance from her stepmother, and her brother Lu Fangyu's lack of ambition meant that Lu Fangning, returning home alone, was not living in a perfect castle. The dim light from the microwave highlighted Lu Fangning's solitude. She slumped on the sofa, munching on potato chips.
Thinking back to her father's words, Lu Fangning was somewhat dejected. Just then, a call from her assistant Gao Erfan informed her that her father had indeed suspended her hard work. Lu Fangning collapsed completely onto the sofa. The home furnishing brand she had painstakingly wanted to create couldn't just fail like this. Lu Fangning gritted her teeth, picked up the phone, and angrily called her father.
Although she had accepted her father's demand, she would still not choose to bow to fate. While exercising vigorously, she filtered through her list of potential blind dates. Lu Fangning, who valued perfection above all else, kept refusing, never settling on a suitable candidate. " Xiao Pingping," who was live streaming, came to the taekwondo practice place.
To show her live stream fans her training results, but unfortunately due to the coach's absence, "Xiao Pingping" was forced to train with Lu Fangning. Seeing the strong woman before her, Xiao Pingping was instantly thrown down. Thrown over the shoulder once again, Tang Pingping immediately burst into tears, begging Lu Fangning to take her to the hospital. Reluctant because she was a director's daughter, Lu Fangning was initially extremely unwilling, but then reconsidered.
Chief physician Ling Rui at the hospital was exactly the marriage candidate she desired. Lu Fangning drove Tang Pingping to the hospital. As soon as Tang Pingping arrived at the hospital, she started making a scene, attracting Ling Rui's attention. Ling Rui, seriously stopping Tang Pingping's unreasonable behavior, once again caught Lu Fangning's eye. But Ling Rui, focused on his work, did not notice Lu Fangning again.
The two were about to pass by each other, but Ling Rui suddenly noticed the scratch on Lu Fangning's neck caused by Tang Pingping. Playing the pity card, Lu Fangning successfully returned to Ling Rui's office. After applying medicine, Lu Fangning immediately asked about Ling Rui's marital status. It was another baffling conversation.
Ling Rui felt the woman before him was very sudden, but the confident Lu Fangning ignored Ling Rui's confused expression and his complete refusal, smiling broadly as she said goodbye to Ling Rui. After leaving the office, she immediately instructed her assistant Gao Erfan to investigate Ling Rui's background. It seemed no matter what, Ling Rui would be unable to fly out of the net Lu Fangning had cast.
