> Begin Again Recap
Ling Rui returned home to reunite with his parents, and the family lived a happy and harmonious life. But his paternal aunt Yazhi had a glum expression, it turned out that Yazhi had taken the separation fee from her ex-husband and invested it, losing four million. The creditor was precisely Lu Fangning's younger brother, Lu Fangyu. Yazhi asked Ling Rui to hide the secret, and Ling Rui promised his aunt that he would think of a solution together with her.
On the other side, Lu Fangning sternly criticized her brother for being insensible, but inwardly she was secretly delighted by the serendipity of it all. Looking at all of Ling Rui's information in the folder, Lu Fangning was overjoyed. The next day, the creditor met the debtor. Lu Fangning and Ling Rui sat in the office. Lu Fangning finally officially proposed her plan, exchanging all the debt for a one-year marriage agreement between the two.
After a silent psychological confrontation, Ling Rui still rejected Lu Fangning's proposal and decided to arrange his own repayment plan. At this moment, Tang Pingping suddenly burst into the office, shouting for Lu Fangning to apologize to her. Her father, Director Tang, rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing his daughter, who was not living up to expectations, Director Tang felt a surge of anger.
After trying to persuade her in vain, his blood rushed to his head, and Director Tang clutched his chest, unable to speak. Ling Rui, standing nearby, helped Old Mr. Tang and inquired about his symptoms. It was only then that Tang Pingping realized her behavior was excessive. Seeing Tang Pingping's many questions directed at Ling Rui, Lu Fangning began to sense that something was amiss, so she quickly told Ling Rui to leave.
Ling Rui chatted with a colleague, who once again gossiped about the previous incident with Lu Fangning. However, Ling Rui, burdened by debt, couldn't force a smile. There was clearly only one solution before him: to be married into the President's family… In the taekwondo gym, Lu Fangning furiously pounded the punching bag as if venting her anger. The failure of her negotiation with Ling Rui left Lu Fangning, who had always been victorious, feeling deeply disappointed.
At Gao Erfan's suggestion, Lu Fangning decided to take a romantic approach. After getting off work, Ling Rui was blocked by Tang Pingping. But Ling Rui, like an iron wall, was impervious. Tang Pingping, who was just about to play the pity card, was caught red-handed by Lu Fangning, who arrived later. Seeing Tang Pingping's terrible acting, Lu Fangning exposed her in one sentence.
However, at this moment, Lu Fangning was also holding a large bouquet of roses, hoping to impress Ling Rui. Out of helplessness, Ling Rui could only call Lu Fangning away. The two sat in a coffee shop. Lu Fangning continued to persuade Ling Rui with her eloquence, but Ling Rui still couldn't let go of his views on marriage; marriage must be the crystallization of two people who love each other.
Under the persistent Ling Rui's repeated rejections, Lu Fangning sat in place helplessly, watching Ling Rui leave heartlessly. Old Mr. Tang advised his daughter Tang Pingping not to cause trouble at the company again. However, Tang Pingping thought of using her father's hospital check-up as an opportunity to satisfy her desire to see Ling Rui. Old Mr. Tang, who doted on his daughter, fulfilled her wish and came to the hospital again.
Seeing the photo of Ling Rui secretly taken by Tang Pingping in her social media feed, Lu Fangning became furious. In her anger, she decided to adopt Gao Erfan's suggestion and find a lawyer to pursue the debt. The peaceful Ling family was disrupted by the arrival of the lawyer. Ling Rui angrily went to find Lu Fangning. He had thought Ling Rui was about to surrender, but Ling Rui became even more determined to refuse Lu Fangning's idea.
Lu Fangning, criticized by Ling Rui, was suddenly speechless. Her approach was indeed a bit forceful, but her consistent style and way of thinking left Lu Fangning with no other options. When Lu Fangning returned home and woke up from the sofa, tears silently streamed from the corner of her eyes. The atmosphere at home seemed a bit heavy. Ling Rui's silence made his mother very displeased.
Yazhi felt guilty, her heart feeling as though it was on a hot pan, extremely anxious. The family's cheerfulness and optimism meant that although the family bore a heavy burden, they remained optimistic in their difficult situation and lived harmoniously. Lu Fangning began meeting with partners regarding the project vote. Their greasy appearance and very abrupt behavior made Lu Fangning miss Ling Rui even more in her heart.
Who knew that at this moment, Ling Rui happened to appear in the same coffee shop, it turned out he was meeting with a professor. Having heard of Ling Rui's difficulties, the professor was ready to take out his assets to help Ling Rui, but Ling Rui calmly refused. The two talked about serious matters.
Ling Rui was supposed to have a bright future, studying at a top research institute and improving his skills, but everything could very likely be ruined by the current situation. Thinking of this, Ling Rui couldn't help but look in Lu Fangning's direction. Lu Fangning talked to her partner about the project vote, but the other side wanted to discuss cooperation and invited Lu Fangning to the top floor suite for a "deep talk."
Accidentally overhearing in the restroom that the greasy man intended to drug Lu Fangning to frame her, Ling Rui's heart was in turmoil. In the top floor suite, the greasy man mentioned the method of marriage between the two to save the project, saying their background and status matched, and their views were the same. However, Lu Fangning mentioned the basis of feelings at this point. Facing someone she truly disliked, Lu Fangning was helpless. For work, for her dream, Lu Fangning could only pick up the problematic glass of water and drink it in one gulp.
