> Love At Night Recap
During a family dinner at the Xu home, Xu Qingyou's father intently observed Mo Lingze, demanding to know his intentions, wedding plans, and family aspirations. Her mother intervened, stating that her father had actually invited Mo Lingze and held him in high regard, urging her husband to stop feigning sternness. She then kindly offered Mo Lingze some tea. As Mo Lingze politely prepared to leave, Xu Qingyou's father proudly asked his wife if his intimidating demeanor had been convincing.
Later, Xu Wei arrived home for dinner with Fang Qi. Xu Qingyou's mother welcomed Mo Lingze, encouraging him to visit often, and then mentioned that Fang Qi was his colleague. Fang Qi corrected her, stating that Mo Lingze was actually her leader. She described him as a professional but sometimes unapproachable boss, yet praised his integrity and willingness to help during critical moments.
Xu Qingyou's mother asked Mo Lingze to look out for Fang Qi at work, explaining that Fang Qi had grown up in their home and was like a daughter to them. Xu Wei interjected, pointing out that Fang Qi's surname wasn't Xu, prompting his mother to scold him. His father then expressed his wish for Xu Wei to find a suitable partner, remarking that he didn't know when his son would find a girlfriend.
Xu Wei claimed he already had one, which led his father to joke that only a "blind girl" would fall for him. Mo Lingze and Xu Qingyou burst into laughter, while Fang Qi nearly choked on her drink. In Xu Qingyou's room, Mo Lingze discovered an old photo and playfully asked about the "pure friendships" she maintained, showing clear signs of jealousy. Xu Qingyou then teased him by showing a video of him drunk, which she had secretly recorded.
As he tried to snatch her phone, she stumbled backward onto the bed, and Mo Lingze leaned in to kiss her. Just then, Xu Wei barged in without knocking. Startled, Xu Qingyou chastised him, while Xu Wei, covering his eyes, tried to retreat, claiming he saw nothing. However, Fang Qi pushed Xu Wei back into the room and scolded Xu Qingyou, accusing her of bullying Xu Wei.
Xu Wei, emboldened, declared their relationship was serious and kissed Fang Qi, stating that he too had someone. After the interruption, Xu Qingyou buried her head in Mo Lingze's arms, feeling embarrassed. Mo Lingze then reminded Xu Wei, who had stepped out with Fang Qi, to be careful as they were at home and their parents might see them.
However, Xu Wei couldn't resist attempting to kiss Fang Qi again outside the room, and this time, Xu Qingyou's father witnessed it from the doorway. His angry voice boomed as he stormed in, brandishing a feather duster, and began scolding Xu Wei for kissing his "sister." Xu Qingyou's mother quickly intervened, urging her husband not to hit Xu Wei too hard and to avoid hurting Mo Lingze.
She then ushered Mo Lingze and Xu Qingyou out of the room, suggesting they leave. Outside, Xu Qingyou commented on her father's harshness, while Mo Lingze, still somewhat stunned, remarked on the "power of the feather duster" on his first visit to the Xu household. Xu Qingyou playfully warned him to be good, or she'd get a feather duster for him. With Mo Lingze and Xu Qingyou having departed, the parents commenced their interrogation of Xu Wei and Fang Qi.
Fang Qi initially tried to dismiss their actions as a joke, but Xu Wei firmly declared that he and Fang Qi were indeed in love. When his father objected, arguing that Fang Qi was like his sister, Xu Wei countered by citing legal protections for relationships without blood ties and urged his father to respect his choices. Xu Qingyou's mother tried to mediate, asking for time for the family to process the news.
Feeling overwhelmed and responsible, Fang Qi apologized for their impulsiveness and decided to leave, despite Xu Wei's pleas for her to stay and his offer of a jacket. As she walked away, Xu Wei called her childish for giving up, but Fang Qi explained her concern. She revealed that she was an orphan, raised by the Xu family, and as a divorced woman eight years older than Xu Wei, she feared his parents would never accept her.
Xu Wei passionately declared his love and desire for a future with her, willing to fight the world for her, but Fang Qi, still hesitant, replied that she was not willing to face such scrutiny. Days later, Xu Wei was despondent, unable to paint or eat, as Fang Qi had not responded to his messages. In his art studio, his colleague, Dayan, brought him porridge, urging him to eat for his health.
Just as Dayan was trying to feed him, another young girl from the studio arrived, claiming she had bought the porridge and insisting on feeding Xu Wei herself. At that moment, Fang Qi walked in, witnessed the scene, and stormed out, leaving Xu Wei still distressed. On New Year's Eve, Fang Qi, anxious for a response from Xu Wei, posted on social media but received none. She eventually decided to go find him.
At the studio, Dayan was watching a horror movie in the dark when the sound of high heels startled him into a scream. Recognizing Fang Qi, Dayan expressed confusion, as he thought Xu Wei had taken his finished paintings to spend New Year's Eve with her. Unbeknownst to Fang Qi, Xu Wei was already at her doorstep.
Holding a sketchbook, he desperately pleaded for her to open the door, promising to explain everything to his parents and ensure they accepted their relationship, so she wouldn't have to face any difficulties. Meanwhile, Mr. Zhai had invited Mo Lingze and Xu Qingyou to the company's New Year's Eve party, tasking Xu Qingyou with the public relations duty to make Lemi E-commerce the focus of the night.
At the party, Xu Qingyou was lauded for her beauty, with some even mistaking her for an actress. Colleagues observed Mo Lingze's lingering gaze, commenting that his eyes, usually cold, held a hint of affection. As midnight approached and the countdown began, Xu Qingyou received a message from Mo Lingze, inviting her to meet him on the rooftop. On the rooftop, Mo Lingze extended his hand, inviting Xu Qingyou, whom he called a "fairy," to look at the stars.
Xu Qingyou, in turn, presented him with a "love handbook," a gift she said could "keep time" and was worthy of his invitation. Mo Lingze opened it, a happy smile spreading across his face as he saw the compilation of their sweet memories. As the countdown reached zero and fireworks erupted, Mo Lingze gave Xu Qingyou a beautiful bracelet, explaining it was the only thing his mother had left him and his most cherished possession.
He asked if she would accept it, and Xu Qingyou, touched, happily agreed. As they embraced and kissed amidst the dazzling fireworks, someone secretly took photos of them. Meanwhile, in the bustling crowd below, Xu Wei and Fang Qi were also present, watching the fireworks, unaware of each other's proximity. A mysterious message was sent online, stating, "Don't worry. It has been arranged online. Mo Lingze, I'll see what you can do this time," hinting at an unseen plot against him.
