Begin Again Episode 19 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
Yang Yi confidently walked onto the stage, snatched the microphone from the host, and was about to publicly expose the contract marriage between Lu Fangning and Ling Rui. Just as the PR crisis was about to erupt, Lu Wenbin rushed onto the stage, snatched back the microphone, and with a smiling face, announced to everyone that Lu Fangning and Ling Rui were about to become the brand spokespersons for Infinite.
On one hand, he responded to people's doubts with a respectable appearance, and on the other hand, he explained the impropriety of Yang Yi's action by citing the consequence of a stock price crash. Yang Yi listened to Lu Wenbin's words, and although full of bitterness, she had nothing to say. Yang Yi shook off Lu Wenbin's hand and returned to her seat. Lu Fangning went up to speak as the brand spokesperson.
Listening to Ling Rui's poised response, Fangning's nervousness intensified, but she felt encouragement from Ling Rui in her palm. Fangning finally took the microphone and revealed to everyone that their marriage was indeed unusual, but it was ultimately getting on the right track. Fangning's firm speech echoed clearly in the hall, and the onlookers who initially had other intentions finally sent their congratulatory applause. This ticking time bomb was finally defused.
Lu Yiyao, who was sitting silently below the stage, was still dissatisfied. He grabbed Fangning, wanting to prevent her from falling into Ling Rui's "scheme." Fangning did not understand why Lu Yiyao was so agitated, but Ling Rui calmly pulled Fangning into his arms and explained calmly: Time will prove everything. After the press conference ended, Lu Wenbin was furious at Yang Yi's thoughtless action.
Yang Yi knew her action just now was improper, so she falsely accused Lu Fangning of bullying Lu Fangyu, causing him to go abroad and suffer. Listening to this unreasonable outburst, Lu Wenbin watched Yang Yi crying and making a scene with cold eyes, too angry to speak. Unable to persuade Fangning to turn back, Lu Yiyao pondered with restraint. Then he remembered Tang Ping, who had collected Ling Rui's chest tag.
Tang Ping's infatuation with Ling Rui made Lu Yiyao certain of the truth that Ling Rui was a playboy and philandering. In order to expose Ling Rui's "true face," Lu Yiyao found Tang Ping and even offered to help Tang Ping get Ling Rui. Tang Ping, who was originally like a reborn drama queen, was completely sober after hearing Lu Yiyao's words.
Understanding that Lu Yiyao was "mentally unstable" and his words were strange, Tang Ping did not fall into Lu Yiyao's tempting conditions but decisively rejected Lu Yiyao. Cai Siyu returned to the company and saw Lu Yiyao. She suppressed her inner impulse and pretended to be reserved, waiting for Lu Yiyao to rush over and apologize for the recording pen incident.
When Lu Yiyao actually found Cai Siyu, Cai Siyu listened to Lu Yiyao's explanation and realized that Lu Yiyao did not regret his actions. Every word and phrase revolved around Fangning. Looking at Lu Yiyao's confused expression in front of her, Cai Siyu's anger did not lessen but increased. . . All the advertising department's proposals for Lu Fangning and Ling Rui's endorsement plan were vetoed by Fangning.
Cai Siyu, unable to bear it any longer, called Ling Rui for help. Ling Rui was optimistic about all the proposals, but due to time conflicts, the location for the advertisement shoot had to accommodate Ling Rui's schedule and was moved to Ling Rui's hometown. . . Ling Rui proactively called Lu Yiyao, and the two met to talk.
Ling Rui exposed Lu Yiyao's secret of having a crush on Fangning for ten years and accused the current Lu Yiyao of having lost his mind, even wanting to hurt Fangning at the brand press conference she cared about the most. Looking at Ling Rui's resolute departing back, Lu Yiyao felt unwilling and self-reproachful. Filled with anger, he struck nothing. A dejected Lu Yiyao got drunk to the point of unconsciousness in the small pub at the alley entrance.
Cai Siyu and others discovered that Ling Rui's hometown was an excellent, naturally unpolluted location for filming. Lu Fangning, who was initially unmoved, also started to feel romantic excitement upon hearing Cai Siyu's suggestion of a "honeymoon advertisement shoot" plan and began to be full of fantasy about the upcoming filming schedule. Cai Siyu rushed over after receiving a call from the pub owner. She saw the tall and well-built Lu Yiyao's drunken face at the table.
Cai Siyu was about to pick up Lu Yiyao's wallet to pay the bill but found a photo of Lu Fangning tightly stuck inside. Recalling Lu Yiyao's various unnatural and inappropriate actions in the past, Cai Siyu realized that their relationship was incompatible all along. Cai Siyu had always been the proactive party in the relationship, stubbornly dragging their relationship forward. Seeing the truth clearly, Cai Siyu was filled with mixed emotions at this moment. . .
The next day, Lu Yiyao finally sobered up and received a call from the pub owner, only then knowing that Cai Siyu had left his wallet at the pub the previous night. Upon returning to the company, he found Cai Siyu, who was usually in high spirits, looking dejected at the moment. Lu Yiyao then knew that his biggest secret had been discovered by her. The two met at the cat cafe where they used to have dates.
Cai Siyu humbly suggested to Lu Yiyao that she was willing to overlook past issues and continue to be with him and develop their relationship. But Lu Yiyao knew that Cai Siyu was a good girl he did not deserve. The heartless Lu Yiyao who rejected her appeared incredibly cold at this moment. His knife-like words stimulated Cai Siyu's tear ducts, but Cai Siyu, who was already deeply infatuated, just wanted to stay by Lu Yiyao's side. . .
