Love Unexpected Episode 20 Recap
> Love Unexpected Recap
Ke Siyi led Xu Nuo to the Wishing Pond, explaining that since falling in love, she had become greedy, wanting to give him all her wishes. She shared that this particular wish was her last one: for Xu Nuo to regain his ability to feel emotions and love, even if they were to part someday, so he wouldn't be lonely. However, Zhou Yanxin called, requesting Xu Nuo's presence, leading Xu Nuo to leave Ke Siyi to make her wish alone.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yanxin presented Xu Nuo with extensive information, revealing Ke Siyi's true identity as Li Da’s daughter, not merely a fan of Kuang Hu, and also implicating her as an associate of Wu Dongde. Zhou asserted that Ke Siyi had been lying from the very beginning, using her role as Xu Nuo’s bodyguard to meticulously plan her approach. He also uncovered that Li Yunzhu was Li Da’s adopted daughter.
Zhou was furious, claiming that Liang Zhixiao, Ke Siyi, Lin Wen, Li Yunzhu, and You Wei had all collaborated to weave a complex web of deceit, trapping them all. Despite Zhou Yanxin’s anger and insistence that Ke Siyi was a manipulative liar, Xu Nuo remained calm. He acknowledged that Ke Siyi had indeed lied to him but firmly believed her intentions to protect him were genuine, that she truly feared his pain and wanted him to embrace the world.
Xu Nuo decided to forgive Ke Siyi and implored Zhou Yanxin, and by extension Lin Wen, to conceal their knowledge of the situation from Ke Siyi, fearing it would disrupt her focus for the upcoming Wrestle Girl finals. As Xu Nuo finished speaking, Ke Siyi called out to him, prompting him to rush to her side. At that moment, Doctor Qin called, urgently requesting both Xu Nuo and Ke Siyi to come to the clinic.
At the clinic, Doctor Qin explained that during their last treatment, an electrical overload in the headgear had caused an error, resulting in the severe headaches and discomfort they experienced. Xu Nuo, however, dismissed any need for accountability, stating they were willing to undergo the final treatment again. They both re-entered the treatment rooms and donned their helmets. Shortly after the treatment began, the current fluctuated once more, causing intense pain.
Doctor Qin quickly moved to adjust the machine, but both Ke Siyi and Xu Nuo were forced to rip off their helmets due to the unbearable agony. Emerging from the lab, Ke Siyi excitedly exclaimed that she could feel pain again, confirming her ability to fight without Xu Nuo having to endure her suffering. Xu Nuo, in turn, realized his emotions had returned.
They discussed how, after their previous session, Ke Siyi's pain had transferred to Xu Nuo, and his emotions to her, a phenomenon Doctor Qin had dismissed as merely "love sickness." Although relieved, both Ke Siyi and Xu Nuo expressed anxieties about whether their feelings for each other had been mere illusions caused by the exchange of senses.
Ke Siyi feared Xu Nuo might no longer care for her if he didn't feel her pain, while Xu Nuo worried Ke Siyi might realize her love for him wasn't real without his emotions affecting her. Xu Nuo quickly reassured Ke Siyi that his love for her was "double portion" and that all his unease vanished when she was by his side. Ke Siyi, seeing his happy expression, truly understood the feeling of happiness.
With their fears allayed and their mutual feelings confirmed, they embraced, deeply moved. Meanwhile, Wu Dongde convened a private meeting with several Hege Group shareholders. He presented a shareholding ratio chart, highlighting how Xu Nuo's stake had been diluted to a point where he could be easily removed from the board. Wu Dongde then displayed a stock price trend, arguing that Hege's stock had inexplicably fallen despite no negative news or operational issues, alluding to Xu Nuo's alleged mismanagement.
He claimed that Xu Nuo, facing a crisis, had sold shares at a low price, and he, Wu Dongde, had secretly bought them all to "save" the company. Accusing Xu Nuo of being reckless, arbitrary, and arrogant, and labeling him a "pure enterprise hunter" lacking management skills, Wu Dongde urged the shareholders to sign an agreement to dismiss Xu Nuo from all his positions at Hege and support his own return to lead the company.
The day of the Wrestle Girl finals arrived. As Yun Zhu warmed up, Liang Zhixiao approached her, embracing her warmly. He thanked her for her continuous help and support. Yun Zhu, blushing, asked him to promise her one request if she won the match. Liang Zhixiao readily agreed, stating he would fulfill any request for her. Yun Zhu, feeling invigorated by his unwavering support, promised to give her best.
The announcer introduced the two finalists: the undefeated "Wrestle Goddess" Li Yunzhu, with a record of seventeen wins and nine knockouts, and her highly anticipated opponent, the "Masked Woman," an amateur fighter with a formidable reputation. The match began with intense energy. The Masked Woman, who was Ke Siyi, skillfully employed her fist and leg techniques to avoid being dragged to the ground, a known strength of Li Yunzhu and a weakness for Ke Siyi.
Xu Nuo, watching intently, grew increasingly anxious, visibly reacting to every hit and expressing worry about Ke Siyi's pain. Zhou Yanxin, observing Xu Nuo's raw emotions, remarked it was like witnessing a miracle. At one point, Xu Nuo, concerned by the force of Li Yunzhu's punches, even considered using his status as a sponsor to stop the fight.
After a grueling first round, both fighters showed signs of exhaustion, but when the bell rang for the second round, they resumed with full intensity. In the final moments, Ke Siyi landed a decisive punch on Yun Zhu’s face, securing a narrow victory by a single point. The crowd erupted in cheers, but Yun Zhu remained frozen, unable to accept her defeat. Ke Siyi, overjoyed, celebrated with her Kuang Hu team members.
Prompted by the crowd, she removed her mask, proudly introducing herself as Ke Siyi from Kuang Hu, trained by Coach Li Da. She publicly apologized to her father, Li Da, for breaking her promise, but expressed immense joy in wearing her boxing gloves again, confessing her deep love for wrestling.
She then turned to Xu Nuo, tearfully apologizing for lying to him, reiterating that she was not just Ke Siyi of Kuang Hu, but "even more, the Ke Siyi who loves you." Xu Nuo, though heartbroken by her past deceit, was visibly moved, his eyes welling up with tears, happy to see her realize her dream. Suddenly, a secretary burst into the arena, announcing that Wu Dongde had brought people to Hege Group.
Indeed, Wu Dongde, accompanied by shareholders and a throng of reporters, stormed into Xu Nuo's office. Wu Dongde triumphantly displayed the signed agreement, effectively dismissing Xu Nuo from all his positions as General Manager of Hege Media Group and its subsidiaries, and declared himself the new Chairman and CEO, effective immediately. Xu Nuo, attempting to buy time, requested a ten-day handover period, which Wu Dongde smugly granted.
Wu Dongde then gloated, openly exposing Ke Siyi's identity as a "spy" and mocking Xu Nuo for being "fooled" and "played" by such a "stupid woman." Enraged by Wu Dongde's slanders against Ke Siyi, Xu Nuo grabbed his collar, ignoring the glaring media spotlight. Wu Dongde then whispered a chilling threat into Xu Nuo's ear: if he didn't surrender, Ke Siyi would be "crushed like an ant," menacingly referencing the deaths of Xu Nuo's parents as a warning.
Upon seeing the news, Lin Wen and Ke Siyi immediately rushed to Hege Group. The building was besieged by a dense crowd. Ke Siyi, determined to reach Xu Nuo, hurried through the underground parking lot. However, Wu Dongde’s subordinates ambushed her there, stunning her with an electric baton and abducting her. After Wu Dongde finally left Xu Nuo’s office, Lin Wen, unable to reach Ke Siyi, frantically informed Xu Nuo, causing him to panic.
They quickly reviewed the surveillance footage, which showed Ke Siyi entering the underground garage, but a crucial camera malfunctioned, obscuring any further view. Xu Nuo, learning the exact location of the malfunctioning camera in the southwestern corner of the parking lot, rushed there. After an intense search yielded nothing, the sudden screech of tires announced a suspicious black car speeding away. Xu Nuo looked back to find Ke Siyi lying unconscious in the very spot the car had just vacated.
As Zhou Yanxin hurried to retrieve a car, Xu Nuo embraced the unconscious Ke Siyi, holding her close as a rush of memories flooded his mind, reminding him of her earlier promise to protect him, and solidifying his unwavering resolve to shield her with all his might.
