> Fall in You Recap
Qiao Yan's leg was injured, and Gu Jingyuan, full of remorse, carefully tended to her wound. He apologized, acknowledging that he had promised to protect her from harm but had failed. Qiao Yan, however, did not blame him. She expressed that in a relationship, they should face everything together, sharing both happiness and sorrow, rather than letting him bear all the pain and burdens alone.
Meanwhile, Gu Changfeng, having seen the news about their troubles, left the hospital and returned home. He initially expressed anger at Gu Jingyuan for failing to protect Qiao Yan from public scrutiny. Gu Changfeng explained that he had opposed their relationship anticipating the public backlash.
However, after hearing Qiao Yan confess her deep and evolving love for Gu Jingyuan, from seeing him as a reliable family member to developing expectations and a desire for a shared future, and realizing their genuine affection, he understood further opposition was futile. Gu Jingyuan then informed his father of his decision to hold a press conference, where he planned to declare his intention to give up his status as an adopted son of the Gu family.
He also declared that he would marry Qiao Yan no matter what, even if it meant marrying into her family or keeping their marriage private. Later, Lu Wanqing met Qiao Yan at a club, confessing that she was the one who gave the video to He Yue. She claimed her intention was not malicious, but rather a desperate attempt to force Gu Changfeng to accept their relationship, believing that a public scandal might make him soften his stance.
When Gu Jingyuan arrived, he expressed his disapproval of Lu Wanqing's meddling, as he worried about Qiao Yan's well-being. Lu Wanqing explained that she considered Gu Jingyuan family and would do anything to help him achieve his desires. Despite Gu Jingyuan's anger, Qiao Yan later reassured him that she did not blame Lu Wanqing, thinking that her drastic action might actually change Gu Changfeng's mind. Gu Jingyuan then led Qiao Yan away from the club.
Gu Jingyuan took Qiao Yan to Xijiang's most beautiful spot, a place he visited whenever he needed to clear his head. There, he pulled out a ring and proposed to Qiao Yan. He confessed that he initially saw her as family, lively and adorable, but after all their shared experiences, he felt a deep care for her, and his feelings deepened into love and a strong desire to protect her from any harm.
He envisioned spending every moment of their future together, watching over and guarding her. Acknowledging that it wasn't a perfect proposal, lacking flowers, ceremony, or blessings, he emphasized that it was just them, and that was all that mattered. Qiao Yan, deeply moved, accepted his proposal. The next day, reporters swarmed the company building, eager for answers. As Gu Jingyuan and Qiao Yan arrived, they were bombarded with questions about their relationship. Just then, Gu Changfeng emerged from the building.
To everyone's surprise, he publicly confirmed the romantic relationship between his adopted son, Gu Jingyuan, and his granddaughter, Qiao Yan, announcing that they would soon be married. Gu Jingyuan then stepped forward and, to Qiao Yan's astonishment, declared that he was giving up his status as an adopted son of the Gu family. This decision, it turned out, had been discussed with Gu Changfeng beforehand, kept secret from Qiao Yan to prevent her from worrying.
Gu Jingyuan explained that by relinquishing his adopted son status, he hoped to dispel any external speculation and protect Qiao Yan from public scrutiny, while asserting that regardless of his formal title, they would always remain a family. Gu Changfeng then gave his heartfelt blessing to their union. Overseas, Qin Ziyu saw the news reports from Xijiang about Gu Jingyuan and Qiao Yan's relationship. Alarmed, he immediately booked a flight back home.
Upon his return, he witnessed Gu Jingyuan and Qiao Yan sharing a kiss at their wedding, realizing he was too late. However, seeing Lu Wanqing nearby, Qin Ziyu observed her expressions and recognized her deep affection for Gu Jingyuan, sparking a new idea in his mind.
