> Le Coup de Foudre Recap
Zhao Qiaoyi and Yan Mo have been married for 4 years and are deeply in love. Sitting together, they resumed their daily playful teasing and bickering, and reminisced about the past. Flashback to 2013, Zhao Qiaoyi and Yan Mo were deskmates in high school. They secretly liked each other. Yan Mo once confessed his feelings to Zhao Qiaoyi publicly, but Zhao Qiaoyi rejected him with heartbreak.
After graduation, Yan Mo went to study abroad in England, and from then on, the two lost contact. This waiting for a reunion lasted for 6 years in the blink of an eye. After graduating from university, Zhao Qiaoyi joined a TV station as a director. Director Hu of the TV station organized a meeting for staff to discuss a youthful romance drama. In the meeting, Zhao Qiaoyi shared her views and ideas sincerely based on her personal experience.
Hao Wuyi is Zhao Qiaoyi's best friend. She told Zhao Qiaoyi there would be a class reunion this Saturday, and they agreed to go together. During their chat, Hao Wuyi also revealed news about Yan Mo to Zhao Qiaoyi, telling her that Yan Mo had never changed his phone number since studying abroad in England.
Hao Wuyi speculated that Yan Mo must still have feelings for Zhao Qiaoyi and was waiting for her, which was why he hadn't changed his number. Zhao Qiaoyi, however, spoke against her true feelings and refused to admit it. That night, Zhao Qiaoyi kept staring blankly at her phone screen. Finally, she mustered the courage to send a message to Yan Mo, but received no reply for a long time. Zhao Qiaoyi felt that her action was humiliating herself.
At this moment, Yan Mo in England was preparing for an important bracelet launch event. But he suddenly found his wallet was missing. He abandoned the launch event and frantically searched for his wallet because it contained a photo of him and Zhao Qiaoyi when they were studying. Hao Wuyi anxiously called Zhao Qiaoyi, asking her to immediately check the messages in the high school QQ class group.
Zhao Qiaoyi opened it and found the students inside were talking about Yan Mo returning to China and gossiping about her and Yan Mo's past. Hao Wuyi gave Zhao Qiaoyi confidence, hoping she could seize the opportunity to rekindle her relationship with Yan Mo. Zhao Qiaoyi was chatting with her older brother Zhao Guanchao outside. Zhao Qiaoyi was afraid of seeing Yan Mo at the class reunion, so she asked her brother to accompany her. Zhao Guanchao refused.
Finally, the two played around and went back home. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived home, Zhao Guanchao was severely scolded by their mother, who blamed him for playing around and coming home late every day. Zhao Guanchao, however, lied that he went to pick up Zhao Qiaoyi from work. Zhao Guanchao winked at Zhao Qiaoyi for help.
Zhao Qiaoyi used Zhao Guanchao accompanying her to the class reunion as a condition, and they sang along with each other, helping Zhao Guanchao get away with it in front of their mother. The next day, Zhao Qiaoyi was uncontrollably nervous because she was going to the class reunion and worried about seeing Yan Mo. She stayed home pretending to be sick, reluctant to leave for the reunion. This was seen through by her brother Zhao Guanchao.
Finally, he dragged her to the class reunion. At the reunion, everyone gathered together to catch up and gossip. Zhao Qiaoyi originally thought Yan Mo would come but found that he did not appear at the class reunion. Zhao Qiaoyi initially thought working as a director at the TV station meant interviewing young talented individuals, but unexpectedly, it was just writing melodramatic scripts about everyday life.
Furthermore, when the TV station was short-staffed, she had to personally go on stage to act as a performer. This time, Zhao Qiaoyi had to go on stage to play an abandoned pregnant woman. After the performance, Zhao Qiaoyi went off stage to rest and chat with colleagues. At this time, another colleague from the station, Annie, revealed to Zhao Qiaoyi that the station would launch a new program, an interview program interviewing celebrities from Nanchuan.
Zhao Qiaoyi was excited when she heard this and went to find Director Hu, asking to be transferred to the new program with him. However, Director Hu, for Zhao Qiaoyi's development, asked her to stay at the station. Because his father was unwell and hospitalized, Yan Mo returned to China to visit him. Yan Mo's father told Yan Mo that a TV station in Nanchuan wanted to interview him, and Yan Mo's father had agreed first and informed him later.
Yan Mo was initially unwilling but had no choice but to agree. In the hospital room, Yan Mo and his father watched TV programs together. Yan Mo immediately recognized Zhao Qiaoyi's figure on the TV program. Seeing Zhao Qiaoyi on the program appearing pregnant and tragically recounting her life experiences, Yan Mo thought all of this was real and rushed to the TV station worriedly to inquire about Zhao Qiaoyi's situation from the staff.
He unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Qiaoyi was just a staff member of this program and immediately felt relieved. Zhao Qiaoyi mustered the courage to call Yan Mo, but a strange woman's voice came from the other end. Zhao Qiaoyi thought it was Yan Mo's new girlfriend. On the day of the interview, the host of the TV station suddenly fell and was sent to the hospital. Director Hu asked Zhao Qiaoyi to fill in.
Zhao Qiaoyi was temporarily put on the spot and felt a bit uneasy. At this time, Yan Mo had arrived at the station and was sitting upright in the designated seat. It was then that Zhao Qiaoyi was surprised to find that the guest being interviewed was Yan Mo, whom she hadn't seen for many years. Zhao Qiaoyi tried hard to force herself to face Yan Mo calmly. After a polite greeting, the program interview began.
During the interview, there was a sudden problem with the microphone on site. While the staff were fixing it, the two took the opportunity to have a quiet chat. Zhao Qiaoyi asked about Yan Mo's recent situation, but Yan Mo responded lukewarmly. Yan Mo asked Zhao Qiaoyi why she refused him back then. Zhao Qiaoyi seemed to have something difficult to say and delayed answering him. Yan Mo then directly turned around and left.
Zhao Qiaoyi looked at his resolute departing back, heartbroken but helpless. Yan Mo returned home and received a package mailed from England. Inside was the wallet he had previously lost. Yan Mo opened the wallet and silently stared at the photo of him and Zhao Qiaoyi together. Memories of the past appeared before his eyes scene by scene. At the same time, Zhao Qiaoyi was also holding the same photo and staring at it blankly.
