Love is Sweet Episode 33 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun asked Shen Xin about the reason for her resignation. Shen Xin recalled Du Lei's threatening whispers in her ear—the leak of company secrets wasn't her fault, but she refused to let Jiang Jun take the blame. Under Du Lei's pressure, Shen Xin had no choice but to resign. Yet, facing Jiang Jun, she simply explained it as her own decision. Watching Shen Xin walk away, Jiang Jun sighed quietly to herself.
Proud of his company's profits surpassing GE's, Du Lei felt a surge of arrogance. When Jiang Jun's name flashed on his phone, he chose to ignore it. Sure enough, by evening, Jiang Jun sought him out personally. To protect Shen Xin, she pleaded earnestly, but Du Lei remained unmoved. Helpless, Jiang Jun could only leave his office with her head down. When Yuan Shuai called, the dejection in Jiang Jun's voice didn’t escape his notice.
Hanging up, he appeared behind her and pulled her into a warm embrace, whispering comforting words as they walked home hand in hand. Back home, Jiang Jun was still troubled by Shen Xin’s situation. Yuan Shuai massaged her shoulders, easing her tension. Reflecting, Jiang Jun realized how much Yuan Shuai had been handling lately—she had grown accustomed to striving under his care. Watching him sleep peacefully, she secretly resolved to resign once everything was settled.
But when Yuan Shuai woke to find her gone, anger flared. Seeing Jiang Jun working tirelessly under the lamplight left him speechless. Their argument erupted—Jiang Jun driven by her strong sense of responsibility, Yuan Shuai by his worry for her. They ended up sleeping in separate rooms, though Yuan Shuai’s heart softened, and he eventually draped a blanket over her… Returning to the office, Qiao Na found Jia Yuanji staging yet another grand romantic gesture—roses and a guitar serenade.
Unimpressed, she coldly summoned security to drag him out. Yet when Jiang Jun saw Qiao Na later, she caught a glimpse of an unusually bashful expression on her face. Hearing office gossip and Qiao Na’s intel, Jiang Jun stormed into Du Lei’s office. She confronted him, presenting discrepancies in the data that proved Shen Xin’s innocence.
But Du Lei pulled her aside, spinning a tale of his own struggles—claiming he had sacrificed Shen Xin to protect Jiang Jun and the bigger picture. Reluctantly, Jiang Jun accepted his explanation. Xu Li’s novel received many responses, but most were pessimistic about her relationship with Xiaochuan, even predicting he would soon lose interest. To rekindle their romance, Xu Li playfully flirted with him, but Xiaochuan, busy with a new project launch, was oblivious.
Her staged "running away" act backfired when she accidentally left her phone behind in a taxi… Yuan Shuai sent Su Chang to investigate MH’s leaked secrets and discovered upper management hadn’t pressured Du Lei to cut staff. Realizing Shen Xin’s resignation must have exposed Du Lei’s secrets, Yuan Shuai quickly texted Jiang Jun, and they planned to discuss it at home. Phone-less, Xu Li borrowed a stranger’s phone and ran into Jia Yuanji.
Explaining her situation to Jiang Jun, Xu Li admitted she wasn’t ready to return home yet. Stuck, she joined Jia Yuanji in drowning their sorrows—Xu Li venting about Xiaochuan’s obliviousness, Jia Yuanji lamenting Qiao Na’s coldness. When Jia Yuanji strummed his guitar, the music moved Xu Li, who offered to help rewrite his lyrics. They clicked instantly. Returning to an empty home, Xiaochuan realized what—or rather, who—was missing.
Using his phone’s tracking, he located Xu Li and saw Jia Yuanji hovering near her, looking suspicious. Overcome with jealousy, Xiaochuan punched Jia Yuanji. Taking the hint from Xu Li’s glance, Jia Yuanji played along, pretending to be a rival suitor. Watching Xiaochuan’s protective outburst, Xu Li’s heart fluttered, and she happily left hand in hand with him. Yuan Shuai shared his findings with Jiang Jun, but she remained skeptical, recalling Du Lei’s earnest explanations earlier. Du Lei had helped her so much—how could she doubt him? Yuan Shuai, frustrated, bluntly exposed Du Lei’s true motives: his hidden feelings for Jiang Jun.
