Double Love Episode 16 Recap
> Double Love Recap
Lu Wanwan, concerned about whether Han Jingmo had a girlfriend, initially wanted to confront him but decided against it, deeming it too aggressive. Soon after, Yiwei arrived, and Lu Wanwan seized the opportunity to inquire about Han Jingmo's relationship status, framing it as a question for a "friend." Yiwei confirmed that Han Jingmo was currently single but added that this might not be the case indefinitely.
As a condition for this information, Yiwei requested to borrow Lu Wanwan's bodyguard for two days. Lu Wanwan readily agreed, calling Zhao Jinghang to inform him of a "nice job" picking her up on time. However, Zhao Jinghang, sensing her intentions, deliberately declined. Lu Wanwan, unfazed and overjoyed by the news of Han Jingmo's single status, became deeply engrossed in her thoughts. Excitedly, Lu Wanwan planned to meet Han Jingmo but instead found him with Yan Shengkai.
She noticed Yan Shengkai frequently trying to spend time with Han Jingmo and even buying similar gifts, leading Lu Wanwan to believe Yan Shengkai had romantic intentions. Feeling frustrated, Lu Wanwan angrily left the scene. Later, her brother, Lu Guanghan, picked her up. In the car, Lu Wanwan appeared contemplative. She compared her feelings to Lu Guanghan's unspoken admiration for Gu Qiaobei, which he couldn't act on, suggesting that he must feel just as upset as she did.
Lu Guanghan, seeing through her facade, directly asked if she was bothered by Han Jingmo, but Lu Wanwan vehemently denied it. Meanwhile, Yiwei sought out Zhao Jinghang, who was drinking alone at a bar. She handed him an invitation to an event, asking him to attend with her and emphasizing that he must dress handsomely. Yiwei reminded him that Lu Wanwan had readily "traded" him for a piece of "business secret" information, making his participation mandatory.
Zhao Jinghang, though initially resistant to being ordered around by his boss's friend, conceded to the request. An online poll asking people to vote for Tao Yichen, Han Jingmo, or Gu Qiaobei quickly surfaced. Lu Wanwan, without hesitation, immediately voted for Han Jingmo. To her dismay, she realized she had used her main social media account.
She tried to delete the post quickly, but it was too late; fans had already taken screenshots, accusing her of trying to "piggyback" on Han Jingmo's popularity. The comments quickly turned harsh, with some even wishing ill upon her. Lin Wei, Han Jingmo's agent, also arrived on the scene to help manage the public relations crisis. However, Han Jingmo took matters into his own hands.
He pulled Lu Wanwan close for a photo, which he then posted on Weibo, clarifying their friendship. He explained that the online poll was part of a playful agreement from a month ago, where Lu Wanwan had promised to treat him to a meal, and he was publicly urging her to fulfill her promise, effectively dispelling any notion of her trying to exploit his fame. Lu Wanwan was deeply touched by Han Jingmo's thoughtful actions.
Later, while they were having dinner, she proudly told him about comments on Weibo that suggested they had a "married couple look" and should become a couple, to which Han Jingmo expressed no objection. During dinner, Lu Wanwan mistakenly drank an entire glass of what she thought was iced black tea, but was actually Long Island Iced Tea, and quickly became inebriated. Han Jingmo had to take her back to his place. The next morning, Han Jingmo prepared breakfast.
Lu Wanwan, still giddy, excitedly told Ye, Han Jingmo's assistant, that she and Han Jingmo were dating. Ye, however, dismissed it, believing she was playing an April Fool's joke, and refused to believe her. Later that morning, Lu Wanwan, feeling a bit awkward, apologized to Han Jingmo for the lack of a romantic setting—no flowers, no candlelight dinner, no Ferris wheel—for their relationship.
She explained that she had confessed her true feelings the previous day while inebriated, and to her delight, Han Jingmo had revealed he also liked her, leading to their relationship naturally beginning. Soon after, Zhao Jinghang called. Lu Wanwan, not daring to admit she was at Han Jingmo's place, lied, claiming she was at the gym working out. However, Zhao Jinghang overheard Han Jingmo calling her for breakfast in the background, making her hastily end the call.
During their meal, Lu Wanwan, unable to resist, leaned in and kissed Han Jingmo, happily admitting it was something she had wanted to do for a long time. Han Jingmo and Lu Wanwan planned their first date at an ocean park. As they prepared to leave, Zhao Jinghang surprisingly appeared in their car, declaring his intention to accompany them everywhere as her bodyguard. Despite Lu Wanwan's implicit protests, Zhao Jinghang insisted, reminding her he would be wherever his "boss" was.
The three arrived at the ocean park, where Han Jingmo and Zhao Jinghang engaged in a childish shooting game competition, drawing a crowd. Although some onlookers recognized Han Jingmo, Lu Wanwan quickly pulled the two away. She was pleased when Han Jingmo won her a large toy bear, but Zhao Jinghang, still childishly competitive, swatted at the bear, complaining it looked sleepy and annoyed him.
He then bought ice cream for some children, musing about the "price for hesitation," indicating his slight frustration with the situation. Later that evening, Zhao Jinghang, dressed impeccably, arrived to meet Yiwei at a Bao Nuo Jewelry launch event. Yiwei explained that due to staff shortages, she needed him to act as her bodyguard, not just protecting her, but also the precious necklace she was wearing. She then asked him to help her fasten the necklace around her neck.
As Yiwei stepped onto the stage, elegantly dressed, Zhao Jinghang was captivated by her beauty. Realizing he was staring, he quickly turned his back, attempting to regain his composure as the ceremony began and Yiwei was introduced as the new face of Bao Nuo Jewelry.
