Girlfriend Episode 29 Recap
> Girlfriend Recap
When Wen Xiaonuan checked her weight, Ye Feimo called, urging her to stay home all day. Rumors spread rapidly online, fueled by Jiang Ling'er's leaks, misleading the public into believing Wen Xiaonuan was involved in a love triangle with Han Hui and Ye Feimo. Wen Xiaonuan, not wanting Ye Feimo to face the pressure alone, attempted to go to the company.
However, reporters swarmed the company building, asking if Wen Xiaonuan was a third party in Ye Feimo and Han Hui's relationship, but luckily, Jiayi arrived in time to escort Wen Xiaonuan away. Concerned, Zhou Xiaojing told Ye Feimo that the detailed reports were not ordinary gossip and advised immediate crisis management to prevent further damage to Wen Xiaonuan's rising career.
Ye Feimo, blaming himself for not protecting her, ordered his departments to investigate the source of the news and cooperate fully. With Jiayi, Wen Xiaonuan confessed that the public comments were terrifying and admitted to being scared despite her earlier promise to Ye Feimo not to be afraid. Meanwhile, discussions within the company speculated whether Anning or Wen Xiaonuan herself leaked the news, or if Jiang Fang was seeking revenge on Ye Feimo.
Han Hui, an international superstar, was furious at being portrayed as an "abandoned wife of a rich family" who had been displaced by a newcomer. Zhou Xiaojing, expressing her deep concern for Wen Xiaonuan's future if the crisis wasn't handled well, declared that she couldn't allow Wen Xiaonuan to follow Han Hui's path, having already failed once. Li Can confronted Zhou Xiaojing, urging her to stop living within others' lives.
He pointed out that while she appeared strong, she was more afraid than anyone, contrasting her with Han Hui, who bravely abandoned Hollywood for love, and Wen Xiaonuan, who rose from obscurity despite immense pressure. He reminded Zhou Xiaojing of his decade-long admiration since school and the "ten-year promise" for her answer to his confession, encouraging her to finally step out of her comfort zone. Later, Ye Feimo found Wen Xiaonuan and apologized for failing to protect her.
Wen Xiaonuan admitted her fear but quickly added that with him by her side, she was no longer afraid. She then openly suggested they should make their relationship public, as they were genuinely together. Ye Feimo initially hesitated, not wanting his "weakness" to get hurt, but Wen Xiaonuan insisted that her weakness was about to become strong and reiterated her desire to face the crisis together by going public.
The next day, Ye Feimo and Wen Xiaonuan bravely faced the media. Wen Xiaonuan clarified that she was not a third party but was indeed in a relationship with Ye Feimo. Ye Feimo then publicly announced Wen Xiaonuan as his girlfriend, stating she was simply "the girl I love."
Inside the company, colleagues discussed how public figures also have a right to happiness, agreeing that the real pain was not being with the person one loved, rather than facing negative media reports. Inspired by Wen Xiaonuan's courage, Zhou Xiaojing found Li Can as his ten-year countdown ended. She arrived with cotton candy, accepting his long-awaited confession and finally stepping out of her confined world to embrace love.
Following the official announcement, Anning staff began affectionately calling Wen Xiaonuan "Mrs. Ye," even a teacher. When Wen Xiaonuan asked Ye Feimo to tell everyone to call her by her given name, he playfully ordered his assistant to inform the entire company to stop, then immediately canceled the instruction, implying he wanted to make their relationship even more official. Later, he sweetly tied her shoelaces, surprising onlookers.
The couple's public relationship had an overwhelmingly positive effect on the box office for "Blue Sky Galaxy," with its single-day grossing reaching five times its pre-announcement peak, potentially setting a new record for its genre. This angered Jiang Ling'er, whose carefully planned actions had ironically helped "Blue Sky Galaxy" and Wen Xiaonuan.
Upon learning that Jiang Fang was discussing further promotional plans for "Blue Sky Galaxy," Jiang Ling'er stormed into his meeting room, accusing him of showing too much interest in the film and its lead, Wen Xiaonuan. Jiang Ling'er angrily confronted Jiang Fang, directly asking if he was the one who publicized Wen Xiaonuan and Ye Feimo's relationship. Jiang Fang confirmed he did, adding, "I want to ruin Wen Xiaonuan and make you give up your thoughts of her."
Their argument escalated, with Jiang Ling'er accusing him of being unreasonable and reminding him that he owed his position and everything he had to her. Jiang Fang retorted that his achievements were his own hard work, while Jiang Ling'er referenced her brother, Jiang Hao, for giving him his current position. She threatened to ruin him if he dared to leave.
Meanwhile, Han Hui's assistant informed her that the situation had shifted, with public sentiment swayed by Wen Xiaonuan's sincerity and the box office of "Blue Sky Galaxy" rebounding. Han Hui instructed her to contact screenwriter Mr. Liu for an urgent meeting. Mrs. Ye called Ye Feimo, expressing her joy about the news and insisting on a formal dinner with Wen Xiaonuan, her "daughter-in-law," the following day.
Ye Feimo and Wen Xiaonuan discussed bringing a gift for Mrs. Ye, with Wen Xiaonuan preferring to personally select perfume. Later, Han Hui met Mr. Liu, who presented her with a new movie script titled "Twin Flowers," inspired by a story she had told him, believing she would enjoy it. Concurrently, Jiang Hao congratulated Jiang Fang on the excellent performance of "Blue Sky Galaxy" and "Magpie Bridge," hinting that the position of Yaohua's vice president was now within his grasp.
He also subtly advised Jiang Fang to appreciate his sister, Jiang Ling'er, who had been supporting his career. Shortly after, Han Hui received a mysterious call, learning that someone possessed a "weapon" capable of separating Wen Xiaonuan and Ye Feimo forever.
