Love is Sweet Episode 16 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun looked at the drawings on the Rubik's cube and only realized after solving it that Yuan Shuai had drawn her likeness. Though she complained about him verbally, she still placed the cube neatly by her bedside. The next morning, Jiang Jun woke up to find her bathroom pipes had burst. She rushed to confront her landlord, Yuan Shuai, who had now transformed into a plumber and fixed the pipes for her.
While the pipes were repaired, Jiang Jun noticed Yuan Shuai swaying unsteadily as he stood up. Yuan Shuai felt discomfort in his stomach, and seeing his pale lips, Jiang Jun urgently persuaded him to go to the hospital. But Yuan Shuai, unwilling to set aside his work, reluctantly compromised, promising to go with her once he finished his tasks. Su Chang received a call from his girlfriend, whose best friend’s husband greatly admired him.
Only then did Su Chang remember his past boast about being an executive director at MH. He hurriedly asked his girlfriend to inform him in advance of her return date. Yuan Shuai met with Dr. Zhu. At the thought of facing the investors in the conference room, Zhu Youyi grew unbearably nervous. Yuan Shuai patiently reassured him, but Zhu Youyi remained uneasy. Jiang Jun volunteered to step in and entered the office to speak with Dr. Zhu.
Using the same superstitious method she’d employed during her first interview with Chen Yicheng, she gave Zhu Youyi positive psychological cues, helping him relax and rest properly. Meanwhile, Xu Li, Li Xiaochuan, and Du Lei went to rent an office. Xu Li decided to negotiate the price for Li Xiaochuan, but none of her tactics worked. Watching from the sidelines, Du Lei stepped in, pointing out a series of flaws in the space.
Li Xiaochuan mimicked Du Lei’s approach and finally convinced the agent to lower the price. Elsewhere, Du Lei received a message from Linda about their father’s anger. Not daring to disobey, Du Lei had no choice but to return home temporarily. Zhu Youyi’s presentation began. To bolster his confidence, Yuan Shuai insisted on sitting in the conference room despite his worsening pain. By the time the speech ended, Yuan Shuai was in such agony that he collapsed.
Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun arrived at the hospital, where the doctor recommended surgery. Initially reluctant, Yuan Shuai perked up instantly when the doctor referred to Jiang Jun as his wife, happily heading to the examination room. But once faced with the hospital bed, his courage faltered. Terrified of pain, Yuan Shuai began rambling about his "final arrangements."
Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Jun pushed him onto the bed and had the nurses wheel him into the operating room. Du Lei followed Linda back home, determined to declare his independence to their father. But Mr. Du dismissed his words outright. Frustrated and long disillusioned, Du Lei lost his temper, roaring that he despised living as a substitute for over a decade. Even if his father took everything back, he wouldn’t be afraid.
Enraged, Mr. Du, whose heart condition flared up, demanded Du Lei leave. Linda chased after him, but Du Lei was resolute. He confessed to her the alienation and manipulation he’d endured all these years. Watching him walk away, Linda stood frozen, tears streaming down her face. Jiang Jun waited as Yuan Shuai was wheeled out. The nurse informed her that he’d been so scared he opted for general anesthesia and wouldn’t wake for four or five hours.
Seizing the chance to observe a quiet Yuan Shuai, Jiang Jun couldn’t help but marvel at his handsome features. Du Lei arrived at his apartment building, recalling the day he was adopted into the Du family. His father had demanded he abandon all memories of his past, including his original name, Wu Lei, and live solely as Du Lei. He’d even ordered the servants to discard the stray dog that had been his only companion.
Back then, the young Du Lei, having just lost his longtime pet, could only stare speechlessly at this cold, unfamiliar man. Now, standing there, Du Lei found himself equally wordless, lost in the weight of those memories…
