Lucky With You Episode 15 Recap
> Lucky With You Recap
Ma Zong advised Xiao Min to continue dating, as he sensed their colleagues were growing suspicious. Xiao Min reacted with increased anger. Lanqi visited Wu Shiyi's parents and informed them about the recent incidents involving their daughter. Wu Shiyi's mother, Zhang Yingnan, expressed her long-standing disapproval of Wu Shiyi working as a bodyguard, highlighting the high risks and lack of respect in the profession.
She worried about Wu Shiyi having to risk her life and still face blame, questioning the value of a high-income job if it came at such a cost. Wu Shiyi’s father, however, defended their daughter's passion for her chosen career, stating she would never agree to a career change. Lanqi reassured them, stating he had already confronted Hou Jue and intended to pursue legal action if necessary to ensure Wu Shiyi received justice.
He then suggested a managerial position in his company's security department, pointing out it offered comparable pay to a private bodyguard but with significantly lower risks. He stressed that the final decision must come from Wu Shiyi herself. Hou Zhirong was late for Qian Qian's first class. He called her, apologizing profusely and promising to arrive immediately, admitting he had forgotten about the class.
Upon arrival, he tried to smooth things over with compliments and by offering money to avoid punishment, citing his health and the lack of prior rules. However, Qian Qian, acting as a strict instructor, unapologetically enforced a penalty of running 10,000 meters, which she calculated as eight laps around the yard. She dismissed his excuses, insisting that running and sweating would improve his health and firmly stated that as the instructor, she had the final say.
When Hou Zhirong tried to negotiate, even offering more money, Qian Qian threatened to leave. He reluctantly agreed to run, then presented her with a luxurious bag and a facial mask as gifts. Qian Qian immediately made him run off. After his run, Hou Zhirong found himself with a hearty appetite, admitting he was now enjoying the benefits of exercise and even found joy in teasing Qian Qian by implying he might be late again.
He asked her to remind him of future classes, but she subtly implied his memory only fails for things he doesn't care about. Qian Qian kept the facial mask, stating her friends used it, but firmly returned the expensive bag, finding it too valuable to accept. Meanwhile, Hou Jue, eager to have Wu Shiyi return, made coffee for his father, Hou Zhirong, and spoke to him humbly.
He urged his father to reconsider Wu Shiyi's reinstatement, emphasizing that it was only right to let her fulfill her contract since she was unjustly dismissed. Hou Zhirong, surprised by Hou Jue's unusual demeanor and concern for a bodyguard, agreed to consider it. However, he remained worried about the nature of Hou Jue’s relationship with Wu Shiyi, recalling the previous incident with Fang Lu. He discreetly called Sister Zhang to inquire.
Sister Zhang reassured him that Wu Shiyi was an upright person and quite strict with Hou Jue, noting that Hou Jue had visibly changed for the better since Wu Shiyi began working for him, becoming more serious about work. Although Hou Zhirong asked her not to tell Hou Jue about the call, Sister Zhang immediately informed Hou Jue that his father had called, confirming she had handled the conversation appropriately and hadn't lied for him, thus assuaging Hou Jue’s concerns.
Wu Shiyi prepared to resume her duties as Hou Jue's security guard, confirming to Qian Qian that Hou Jue had personally approached CEO Zhao to request her return. Qian Qian was surprised to learn that Hou Jue was her client again. Wu Shiyi noticed Qian Qian happily smiling at her phone and badgered her to see the photos of her new romantic interest. Qian Qian refused, keeping the identity of the person secret.
Qian Qian confided that she felt very comfortable with him and described him as gentle and considerate. She then revealed he was 29 years her senior, which initially startled Wu Shiyi, who mistakenly thought Qian Qian said 92 years. Qian Qian admitted she was also slightly worried about the age difference and unsure if his feelings for her were romantic, platonic, or paternal.
Unaware that the man in question was Hou Zhirong, Wu Shiyi commented that a middle-aged man could be mature and reliable, unlike Hou Jue, whom she jokingly compared to an overgrown child, suggesting that being his girlfriend would be like being his mother. Zhou Quan left, carrying a special homemade "Energy Block" Hou Jue had prepared for him, as Wu Shiyi formally took over as Hou Jue's security guard. Hou Jue playfully welcomed her back, attempting to carry her luggage.
With Sister Zhang on vacation, Hou Jue decided to cook a meal for Wu Shiyi himself. As he cooked, Wu Shiyi complimented his knife skills, and Hou Jue proudly declared himself a multi-faceted man with a noble soul. He told her the meal was to welcome her back and sincerely express his gratitude for everything. When Wu Shiyi offered to help, Hou Jue tied an apron around her, remarking that they looked like an old married couple.
Startled by the intimate comment, Wu Shiyi quickly took the apron and tied it herself, despite Hou Jue's persistence. Meanwhile, Hou Zhirong posted on WeChat Moments, visible only to Qian Qian, lamenting "Loneliness is a disease." Qian Qian responded ambiguously with a comment: "Ancestral secret recipe, specializing in loneliness." Hou Jue and Wu Shiyi later shared a dinner in a restaurant with a romantic ambiance.
Hou Jue explained the meal was to welcome her back and sincerely apologize for the injustices she had endured. He invited her to drink, despite her rule against drinking while on duty, and she agreed to make an exception. Wu Shiyi acknowledged his kindness, specifically mentioning his protective actions at the training ground days earlier, which she found touching despite his slightly disruptive methods. Hou Jue then opened up, sharing his deepest feelings.
He confessed to feeling great empathy for Wu Shiyi, having observed her difficult journey, including her parents' early divorce, years of rigorous training while others enjoyed school and social lives, and the emotional toll of a past unreliable relationship. He expressed profound concern for her, recognizing the hidden sadness and helplessness beneath her guarded exterior.
Hou Jue affirmed his belief that Wu Shiyi deserved and would find happiness, asserting that her past struggles would eventually become her greatest assets and make her stronger. He then light-heartedly added that she was fortunate to have met him. Separately, Qian Qian took Hou Zhirong to an amusement park. Initially, Hou Zhirong was hesitant, remarking that such places were for younger people and jokingly calling himself an "old man," but then declared he would prove his youthful spirit.
They rode a carousel, where they chatted about their childhood experiences and the simple joys of life. Qian Qian expressed her newfound appreciation for slow, meaningful moments, seeing Hou Zhirong as a remedy for her loneliness. After the ride, they shared roasted sausages and "war horse" drinks, playfully debating who should pay. Later that evening, back at Hou Jue’s residence, he and Wu Shiyi were drinking.
To his surprise, Wu Shiyi had a low alcohol tolerance and quickly became intoxicated, playfully bothering him and trying to keep drinking even as Hou Jue tried to stop her. In her inebriated state, Wu Shiyi candidly told Hou Jue he was the most challenging client she had ever encountered, but acknowledged his many virtues. She praised his kindness, his protective nature towards others like Fang Lu and Huang Yue, and called him "very cute" with an "interesting soul." Hou Jue was utterly flattered by her intoxicated compliments, beaming that he was not only handsome but also possessed an interesting soul, making him "excellent."
