Love in Time Episode 10 Recap
> Love in Time Recap
Lu Boyan and Su Jianan arrived at Su Hongyuan's home, where Su Hongyuan enthusiastically greeted them, commenting on Su Jianan's slightly fuller figure and praising Lu Boyan for taking good care of her. Su Jianan, a bit embarrassed by her father's words, watched as Lu Boyan politely presented their gift: a carefully prepared present for Su Hongyuan.
In return, Su Hongyuan produced gifts of his own: the latest "Su's beauty" lightweight and comfortable underwear for Su Jianan, claiming to remember her size, and newly developed health underwear "good for men" for Lu Boyan, much to Su Jianan's dismay and urging for her father to put them away quickly. Despite her embarrassment, Lu Boyan courteously accepted the gifts.
Su Hongyuan expressed his relief about Lu Boyan's leadership at Lu's Corporation and Su Jianan's good fortune, to which Lu Boyan humbly responded that marrying Su Jianan was his true blessing. Su Hongyuan then asked Lu Boyan for ideas for Su's beauty, and Lu Boyan promised to help. Aunt Jiang, Su Hongyuan's wife, suggested they go to the kitchen to prepare fruit for the couple.
Left alone with Lu Boyan, Su Jianan confided in him about her mother's love for flowers and how Aunt Jiang's presence had gradually erased her mother's traces from the home. She learned that Aunt Jiang was an old employee whose husband had passed away, and she later married Su Hongyuan, bringing her daughter Su Yuanyuan into their family.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Aunt Jiang expressed concern to Su Hongyuan about Lu Boyan and Su Jianan's lack of wedding rings, especially given the rumors surrounding Lu Boyan and celebrities like Han Ruoxi. Su Hongyuan dismissed her worries, asserting his trust in Lu Boyan's character, unaware that Lu Boyan had overheard their entire conversation. Later, Su Hongyuan gathered Lu Boyan, Su Jianan, and Aunt Jiang to discuss the upcoming 20th-anniversary celebration for Su's beauty.
He admitted that previous celebrations lacked novelty, typically involving only corporate speeches, celebrity appearances, and dining. Lu Boyan suggested adding an opening dance to inject more vitality into the event. Su Hongyuan liked the idea but declared his "old arms and legs" incapable of dancing, proposing that Lu Boyan and Su Jianan perform it instead. Su Jianan immediately objected, claiming she couldn't dance, and Aunt Jiang worried about the additional workload.
However, Lu Boyan insisted that dancing wasn't difficult and he would teach Su Jianan, promising Su Hongyuan and Aunt Jiang an "amazing opening." Su Hongyuan, swayed by Lu Boyan's confidence, finalized the decision. Back home, Su Jianan confronted Lu Boyan, accusing him of wanting to see her make a fool of herself. Lu Boyan playfully dismissed her fears, assuring her of his presence and praising her coordination and flexibility. He then gently invited her to dance, promising to teach her.
After initial attempts to teach her conventional steps proved difficult for Su Jianan, Lu Boyan changed his method. He had her step directly onto his feet, guiding her through the movements, offering patient and gentle instruction as they practiced through the evening. At Han Ruoxi's photoshoot, her assistant informed her about the upcoming 20th-anniversary celebration for Su's beauty, which Han Ruoxi endorsed as their spokesperson, and presented an invitation from Ms. Jiang.
Han Ruoxi initially showed disinterest, asking if she could decline. However, her demeanor shifted drastically when her assistant mentioned the event's highlight: an opening dance performed by Su Jianan and Lu Boyan. Han Ruoxi expressed disbelief, stating that Lu Boyan typically disdained public displays. After Lu Boyan left Su Jianan to practice alone briefly, a media report played, highlighting the long-standing ambiguous relationship between Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi and the "complicated love triangle" involving Su Jianan.
Han Ruoxi then appeared uninvited, confronting Su Jianan. She provocatively suggested that Su Jianan lacked talent for dancing, just as she lacked a stable foundation in her relationship with Lu Boyan, and that dancing with him would harm his image. Su Jianan calmly retorted that the idea for the double dance originated with Lu Boyan and he insisted she participate.
Han Ruoxi then boasted about her years of struggle and shared experiences with Lu Boyan, claiming they were the true couple. Su Jianan coolly challenged her, asking why Lu Boyan hadn't chosen Han Ruoxi to dance with him. Han Ruoxi, visibly annoyed, declared that they would "meet at the anniversary celebration." Su Jianan recounted the confrontation to Luo Xiaoxi, who became indignant, calling Han Ruoxi's words a "naked threat" and urging Su Jianan to have Lu Boyan block her.
Luo Xiaoxi then speculated that Han Ruoxi was behind past incidents, including cyberbullying, persuading Su Jianan to leave home, and the hotel scandal, likening her to a novel villain. She passionately encouraged Su Jianan to embrace the fight, despite Su Jianan's reluctance. As Luo Xiaoxi left, she made a call, comically rejecting an offer from Jiang Shaokai to be her dance partner for the upcoming event, stating that many people would line up to be her partner.
Shortly after, Lu Boyan sent Su Jianan several dress design drafts for the anniversary celebration. Su Jianan quickly chose a red design, and Lu Boyan immediately called his designer friend, Sophia, to arrange for its customization, also inquiring about a ring.
As Lu Boyan departed for a company meeting, his assistant Shen Yuechuan received a call from Han Ruoxi, who indirectly tried to find out where Su Jianan's anniversary dress was being made, feigning interest in ordering a dress for herself. The next morning, Lu Boyan accompanied Su Jianan to a high-end international brand store for the dress fitting, stating that he wanted to ensure she looked her best for his sake.
Luo Xiaoxi joined them, impressed by the luxurious shop and Su Jianan's "Mrs. Lu" status. Su Jianan expressed her newfound resolve to not let an outsider disrupt her own event. The sales assistant presented five customized dresses, including the striking red one Su Jianan had chosen. Su Jianan tried on the red gown, stunning Luo Xiaoxi, who exclaimed she looked like the "queen of the ball." Just as they were enjoying the moment, Han Ruoxi entered, initiating a sharp confrontation.
Su Jianan, now self-assured, asserted her status as "Mrs. Lu" and challenged Han Ruoxi's claims, pointing out that she was the one married to Lu Boyan and mocking Han Ruoxi's lack of a diamond ring from him. Han Ruoxi attempted to diminish Su Jianan's marriage as one based on family connections, reiterating her own long history with Lu Boyan. However, Su Jianan's sharp retorts and confident demeanor left Han Ruoxi looking sullen.
Luo Xiaoxi then stepped in, directly insulting Han Ruoxi, accusing her of being "coquettish" and staging drama, befitting a "famous actress." Luo Xiaoxi then firmly led Su Jianan away, remarking on Su Jianan's newfound assertiveness since marrying Lu Boyan. After the confrontation, Han Ruoxi purchased a similar red dress and instructed her assistant to modify it to precisely match Su Jianan's chosen style, implying that there would be "a good show to watch."
The 20th-anniversary celebration of Su's beauty began with guests and media arriving. Han Ruoxi, dazzling in a red gown, was interviewed, claiming that Lu Boyan had personally chosen the red dress for her, linking it to Su's beauty's first advertising campaign. Just as she was speaking, Su Jianan arrived, also in a red gown, walking hand-in-hand with Lu Boyan, immediately drawing media attention for the conspicuous "clash of outfits." Reporters questioned Su Jianan about the coincidence and Han Ruoxi's claim.
Su Jianan calmly stated that she chose red because Lu Boyan knew it was the color of Su's beauty's inaugural underwear line, subtly implying a deeper, shared understanding with him. When asked who looked better, Su Jianan confidently replied, "to each their own." Lu Boyan then intervened, emphatically stating that Su Jianan's dress was custom-made for her by his designer friend, Sophia, whose designs integrate seamlessly with the wearer's temperament.
He then pointedly offered to introduce Sophia to Han Ruoxi if she needed it, subtly suggesting her dress did not fit her well. He then excused them, stating they had an opening dance to prepare, and discreetly praised Su Jianan for her composed performance. Cornered, Han Ruoxi could only meekly respond that "what Bo Yan likes is naturally the best."
The celebration continued, with Aunt Jiang welcoming guests and media, followed by Su Hongyuan's speech, and finally, the eagerly anticipated opening dance by Su Jianan and Lu Boyan, who shared a knowing smile before taking the stage.
