Girlfriend Episode 27 Recap
> Girlfriend Recap
News of Ye Feimo possibly being in a relationship spread through the company, fueled by whispers that a popular actress had sent a massive bouquet of nine hundred and ninety-nine roses to the front desk specifically for him. Hearing the gossip, Xiaonuan felt a pang of unexpected jealousy and became noticeably distant with Ye Feimo.
Although Ye Feimo wanted to understand the reason for her sudden coldness, the screening for "Blue Sky Galaxy" was about to begin, leaving them no time to talk. Gu Yunzhou was initially supposed to attend the screening, but his mother's sudden demand for his presence forced him to leave and attend to her.
Gu Yunzhou explained to Ye Feimo that his mother would "kill him" or "come to Anning herself" if he didn't meet her, to which Ye Feimo advised him to handle it calmly and not involve their company. For Xiaonuan, the film screening was a profound reflection on the challenges and sweet moments she experienced during the production of "Blue Sky Galaxy".
Though still upset, she deliberately chose a seat far from Ye Feimo, but he simply moved to sit beside her. During the screening, the film depicted the challenges Xiaonuan faced during its production, including a leading actor going on strike. It showed moments where Xiaonuan faced harsh criticism, with someone calling her a "burden" who would be "fired at any moment," yet she bravely declared her unwavering commitment to persist despite any pressure.
A poignant scene depicted a deity's sister scolding her for abandoning the Heavenly Realm for a mortal, warning of the Queen Mother's wrath and the mortal's peril. The deity, however, steadfastly refused to return, explaining that her heart now belonged to the mortal world, having found true happiness in a simple life with her beloved. After the film concluded, Ye Feimo was full of praise for Xiaonuan's performance, confident that the movie would be a success.
He instructed his team to prepare to submit it to major film festivals. Meanwhile, Gu Yunzhou's mother had summoned him to press for his early marriage. She chided him for neglecting the family business and spending too much time with Ye Feimo, lamenting how long it had been since he visited home.
She insisted he meet Zhao Di, the daughter of Uncle Zhao, a wealthy woman who had "always missed him" and whose family's company, Zhao Group, was a strong potential partner for their Gu Group. Gu Yunzhou firmly resisted, stating he was her son, not a "pawn," and would only marry someone he loved. His mother, however, gave him an ultimatum: meet Zhao Di or immediately take over his father's company.
After their tense conversation, Gu Yunzhou expressed his frustration, wondering what he had done to upset her. Back at the office, Ye Feimo discovered a note Xiaonuan had left in his pocket, simply saying "I miss you." He immediately called Maggie to bring Xiaonuan to his office. Upon her arrival, he playfully cornered her against his office desk, creating a sweet and intimate atmosphere. There, he playfully accused her of "playing cat and mouse," feigning upset before surprising him.
Xiaonuan inquired about the "admirer" who sent the roses. Ye Feimo clarified that someone had indeed sent them but he "didn't do anything," asking if she feared he might fall for someone else. He confidently stated that he had instructed Maggie to discard the roses and from now on, he would "only accept flowers from Miss Wen." Ye Feimo then expressed his desire to make their relationship public, wanting "the whole world to know that you're my girlfriend."
Xiaonuan, however, was not yet ready and asked if they could wait for the right moment. Feigning anger, Ye Feimo demanded a "reward" for his forgiveness. When Xiaonuan offered a date, he dismissed it as a given for couples, implicitly seeking a kiss, which he happily received. Gu Yunzhou and Jiayi's relationship blossomed, becoming even sweeter as Gu Yunzhou showered her with affection. Coincidentally, Zhou Xiaojing arrived at the company looking for Ye Feimo.
His assistant, Maggie, politely tried to block her, stating Ye Feimo was in a meeting and likely wouldn't be available soon. However, Xiaonuan happened to come downstairs and met Zhou Xiaojing, who, seeing the clear closeness between Xiaonuan and Ye Feimo, began to suspect their intimate relationship, though she did not voice it then. The following day was Ye Feimo and Xiaonuan's agreed-upon date.
Ye Feimo, excited, dressed up early and even pushed off work to dedicate himself entirely to their outing. Their date involved indulging in various activities typical for sweethearts. In the car, Ye Feimo playfully told Xiaonuan she should wear a mask because he couldn't stop staring at her while driving, calling it "too dangerous."
Xiaonuan then playfully dragged the seemingly straight-laced Ye Feimo to ride a childishly romantic merry-go-round, sharing a legend that two true lovers riding it together would be transported to a "perfect heaven" where their "love will last forever." Though Ye Feimo dismissed it as a trick, Xiaonuan reminded him that he had chosen that very place to confess his feelings.
As their day ended, they reluctantly said their goodbyes at her doorstep, with Ye Feimo affectionately calling her "my bunny" and watching her go inside. As the release of "Blue Sky Galaxy" approached, Xiaonuan grew increasingly nervous about the public's reaction. Yet, Ye Feimo's constant reassurance and promise to watch the film with her provided her with a sense of security. Elsewhere, Zhou Xiaojing planned to spend her birthday alone, but Li Can unexpectedly appeared, bringing her a delightful surprise.
He playfully asked if she minded him sitting opposite her. When she replied that she did, he swiftly offered to sit beside her instead, turning an ordinary birthday into something special with the presence of someone dear. Back at the company, preparations for "Blue Sky Galaxy"'s release were in full swing, with Anning making extensive plans for its promotion. Despite excellent internal industry reviews, Xiaonuan remained anxious, fearing she might not live up to everyone's efforts.
Her colleague assured her that she had performed her role as the leading actress "excellently" and had "done her best." The first-day box office results for "Blue Sky Galaxy" were released, showing a much lower income than anticipated, proving to be less than ideal. Ye Feimo, worried about Xiaonuan's reaction, initially tried to conceal the truth, claiming he had an urgent meeting. However, Xiaonuan intuitively sensed the disappointing numbers.
She pressed him, asking if he feared she couldn't handle the truth, and stated that while it was only the first day, "Blue Sky Galaxy" was her first leading role and felt like her child. She expressed her desire to witness its fate firsthand, good or bad, and urged him to accompany her. Meanwhile, during a date between Gu Yunzhou and Jiayi, an unwelcome guest appeared.
While Gu Yunzhou was briefly away, Zhao Di, his "childhood sweetheart" and the "daughter-in-law approved by his mom," arrived. She immediately made her intentions clear, persistently trying to reconnect with Gu Yunzhou and refusing to leave despite his pleas. When Jiayi returned from the restroom and asked who she was, Zhao Di boldly introduced herself as Gu Yunzhou's childhood sweetheart and his mother's chosen daughter-in-law.
