Love is Sweet Episode 7 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, riding the elevator together, resumed their argument about Du Lei. Yuan Shuai criticized him relentlessly, while Jiang Jun privately believed Du Lei wasn’t a bad person. Under Yuan Shuai’s warning, she decided to distance herself from Du Lei but struggled with how to phrase it. Back at home, Du Lei tried on Jiang Jun’s gift. Admiring the new tie in the mirror, he was quite pleased—until his sister suddenly returned.
She scoffed at the tie around his neck and forcibly replaced it with one of her own preferred styles. Though resentful, Du Lei, who had always obeyed his sister’s orders since childhood, could only endure silently. Then, a message from Jiang Jun popped up on his phone. What had once been a warm, mentor-student exchange now turned stiff and formal—clearly, Jiang Jun had heeded Yuan Shuai’s advice. After reading it, Du Lei frowned.
His sister reminded him not to forget their father’s birthday gift, but noticing his fixation on the text, she sensed her control slipping and grew furious. Meanwhile, Xu Li finally met her crush, Xiaochuan, at a restaurant. Despite the modest meal, she was in high spirits, hoping to grow closer to him. But to her dismay, Xiaochuan only wanted her help filling out a survey. The bubble of her romantic fantasy burst at the hands of this oblivious blockhead.
At MH Company, newcomers including Shen Xin and Jiang Jun were scolded by their supervisor, Ma Xiuran, for their lackluster reports. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shuai appeared and announced the formation of a new analyst team composed of the rookies. Thrilled at the chance to prove themselves—and escape their annoying boss—the four newcomers were overjoyed. Their target company was Wanxing Entertainment. During their visit, Jiang Jun, on her way to the restroom, stumbled upon a bullying incident involving a trainee.
Unable to ignore injustice, she rescued the girl trapped in the bathroom—only for the trainee to have security detain Jiang Jun instead. Mistaken for an obsessive fan, Jiang Jun was held in the security office. Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai and the team were discussing matters with Wanxing’s executives when they encountered the same teary-eyed, drenched trainee. Though suspicious, Yuan Shuai had to prioritize business and could only watch her leave.
It turned out the trainee had been targeted after failing an audition and being falsely accused of having an inappropriate relationship with the company’s CEO. Humiliated, she had no choice but to swallow her grievances. In the meeting room, Yuan Shuai noticed Jiang Jun’s absence but couldn’t delay the signing to look for her. After the deal was finalized, he rushed to the security office—only to find Jiang Jun playing cards while extracting intel from the guards.
Tipsy and unrepentant, she had even uncovered rumors about the CEO’s misconduct with trainees. Furious, Yuan Shuai downed the alcohol she owed and dragged her away. Seeing Jiang Jun swaying drunkenly, Yuan Shuai was both exasperated and concerned. When gentle persuasion failed, he resorted to work-related threats to force her home. Xu Li, still reeling from the survey incident, returned to her night shift—only to learn Xiaochuan was just a grad student.
Locked out of his school, he had to spend the night at the convenience store. Watching the youthful "little brother," Xu Li sighed inwardly. Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai carried the barely conscious Jiang Jun upstairs. When she "woke up" as he used her finger to unlock her apartment, he assumed she’d been faking sleep the whole time and nearly lost his temper—until her playful whining disarmed him.
Xu Li, walking with Xiaochuan, tried every trick—breaking her heel to hint she needed a piggyback ride. Instead, Xiaochuan snapped her other heel and, when she feigned ankle pain, hoisted her over his shoulder like a sack. Though not the romance she envisioned, it worked. Later, back at work, Xu Li received slippers from Xiaochuan as a gift. Though simple, the gesture reignited her hopes. The next day, Yuan Shuai reviewed the rookies’ reports, singling out Shen Xin’s for criticism.
He kept Jiang Jun behind for "guidance"—actually probing her about the Wanxing CEO’s misconduct mentioned in her report. Though cautious, Jiang Jun admitted under his taunting that she’d uncovered a secret lounge used by the CEO. Meanwhile, Shen Xin pretended to seek Qiao Na’s advice on her report, casually mentioning Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun being alone together. Jealous, Qiao Na barged into Yuan Shuai’s office—catching him and Jiang Jun in close proximity. The sight stoked her resentment.
