Love is Sweet Episode 32 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun arrived at Du Lei's office to report the successful approval of Baxi's M&A loan, noting that Yuan Shuai's previous acquaintance with Director Liu had been instrumental. Du Lei, however, fixated on the watch on Jiang Jun's wrist. Consumed by jealousy, he accused her of unprofessional conduct for involving Yuan Shuai, a GE employee, in an MH project.
He sternly reminded her of the need for discretion given their respective company affiliations and warned her about potential office gossip and the damage it could do to her reputation. Jiang Jun acknowledged her misjudgment and promised to be more careful.
As a penalty, Du Lei instructed her to personally compile all the merger documents and submit a detailed report by Wednesday, making it clear that she should approach him for any future work issues, as he was her direct superior. Jiang Jun stayed late, working alone into the night. Watching her from a distance, Du Lei felt a pang of concern seeing her exhausted. Later that evening, Yuan Shuai picked up a visibly fatigued Jiang Jun.
Disturbed by her exhaustion, he suggested she resign, offering to support her entirely. Jiang Jun playfully brushed off his offer, joking about her large appetite, but Yuan Shuai, while supportive of her career, expressed his deep concern for her well-being, wanting her to avoid such strenuous work. Jiang Jun, touched, relaxed and dozed off in the car. The next morning, Jiang Jun's pallor was evident. During a meeting, she suddenly fainted.
Du Lei promptly took her to the hospital, where Yuan Shuai also rushed to her bedside. The doctor diagnosed acute gastroenteritis, attributing it to chronic overwork and irregular eating habits. Yuan Shuai immediately confronted Du Lei, accusing him of overworking Jiang Jun with excessive projects and inefficient meetings. Du Lei retorted that Yuan Shuai's "groundless speculation" was childish.
Yuan Shuai insisted on staying as Jiang Jun's boyfriend to care for her, while Du Lei maintained that as her boss, her health was his concern too. When Jiang Jun woke up, she saw Yuan Shuai attentively tending to her. Du Lei, unable to intervene, could only observe from afar. Jiang Jun apologized for the disruption, but Du Lei took responsibility for the work pressure and assured her he would manage company affairs while she recovered.
Yuan Shuai then admonished Jiang Jun for neglecting her health, emphasizing the dangers of severe gastroenteritis and her habit of consuming excessive coffee and skipping meals. He presented her with a strict "One-week recuperation diet," a regimen Jiang Jun joked was for "raising pigs," but Yuan Shuai firmly enforced it. Back home, Yuan Shuai strictly prohibited Jiang Jun from working.
He found her attempting to access work on her computer, but he playfully intercepted her, reminding her that a patient needed rest and that her "misbehavior" warranted a "punishment"—which he sealed with a kiss. The following morning, as Jiang Jun tried to sneak out for work, Yuan Shuai stopped her, revealing he had already arranged a seven-day annual leave with Du Lei. He had even enlisted Xu Li and Xiaochuan to ensure she got proper rest.
After Yuan Shuai left, Xu Li discreetly handed Jiang Jun a pregnancy test kit, jokingly calling it a "good luck" charm for them both to experience "double happiness." Their conversation was cut short when Xiaochuan joined them. Meanwhile, Qiao Na arrived at her office to a romantic display of roses arranged in a heart shape. Jia Yuanji, carrying more flowers, appeared and boldly declared his love, promising to surprise her daily.
Unimpressed, Qiao Na dismissed his gestures as "childish tricks" and instructed her staff to clear the office immediately. Jia Yuanji, however, remained unfazed, already contemplating his next move. Later, as Shen Xin was about to deliver documents to Du Lei's office, she overheard him on a phone call. He was discussing assisting Huanyu Group with financial reports, hinting at a "token of appreciation" to be sent to a familiar "account," suggesting illicit dealings.
Du Lei, sensing movement outside, abruptly opened his door, catching Shen Xin by surprise. She quickly handed over the files and left, while Du Lei maintained a composed demeanor, his mind already formulating a new plan. That night, prompted by Xu Li's earlier comment, Jiang Jun decided to use the pregnancy test kit. The result left her stunned and kept her awake all night. The next morning, Yuan Shuai discovered the used test kit in the trash.
After a quick online search confirmed that "two bars" indicated pregnancy, he became ecstatic. He joyfully embraced Jiang Jun, declaring their impending status as a family of four, including their dog Wealth, and began enthusiastically brainstorming baby names like "Yuan Congming." However, Jiang Jun revealed it was a false alarm; her period had just begun, making it a misunderstanding. Yuan Shuai’s excitement quickly turned to visible disappointment.
Following the pregnancy scare, Yuan Shuai revealed that the incident had solidified his long-term thoughts. He affirmed his unwavering commitment to Jiang Jun and promised to respect all her decisions. He proposed a career adjustment, suggesting she transition to GE's Fixed Income Department, which he believed would offer a more balanced workload, allowing her to pursue her passion without the intense pressure of her current role.
As for having a baby, he suggested they let it happen naturally when she was ready. Jiang Jun was deeply moved, realizing he had been contemplating these long-term plans for quite some time. Overwhelmed, she embraced him, agreeing to their future together. Inspired by their conversation, Yuan Shuai began secretly planning a marriage proposal and, later that night, attempted to surreptitiously measure Jiang Jun's ring finger while she slept.
The next day, Shen Xin's SKL case suffered a major setback due to a price leak. Du Lei, furious, demanded that she identify the source of the leak within three days, threatening severe accountability if she failed. Chen Yicheng, Shen Xin's boyfriend, was incensed by Du Lei's unreasonable pressure, but Shen Xin urged him not to confront their boss. Meanwhile, Xu Li and Xiaochuan were shopping for baby supplies.
Xu Li excitedly pointed out a wet paper towel heater and building blocks, but Xiaochuan, citing safety and practicality, expressed his reservations. At that moment, Cheng from Weiran Technology, an acquaintance of Xiaochuan, approached them. Cheng made condescending remarks about Xu Li's youthful appearance, implying she wasn't a suitable partner for Xiaochuan, which caused Xu Li to feel self-conscious and retreat.
Xiaochuan, however, defiantly embraced Xu Li, publicly declared his love for her, and insisted on buying everything she desired, prompting an embarrassed Cheng to quietly depart. Xu Li was deeply touched and delighted by Xiaochuan's unwavering support. Yuan Shuai, at a ZOCAI diamond ring customization store, was admiring a "Goddess's Wedding Dress" proposal ring. Mid-conversation with the sales assistant, Jiang Jun called him, asking him to pick up some triple-A batteries for their scale.
To maintain the secrecy of his proposal plans, Yuan Shuai quickly fabricated an excuse, claiming he was at work and that the store's background music was merely part of a presentation. After hurriedly ending the call, he selected a beautiful ring and completed the purchase. Separately, Jiang Jun sensed Yuan Shuai's unusual behavior but couldn't pinpoint the reason.
Upon checking her computer, she was surprised to find an internal "Notice of Personnel Change" announcing Shen Xin's resignation from the Investment Banking Department due to "personal reasons." Concerned, Jiang Jun immediately went to the company. She found Shen Xin quietly packing her belongings, with Chen Yicheng angrily wanting to confront Du Lei, but Shen Xin held him back, suggesting that there might be more to the situation. Jiang Jun approached, eager to speak with Shen Xin and understand the real reason behind her sudden departure.
