My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 4 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Fang Leng awakens to his usual demeanor after a night with Chai Xiaoqi. He prepares her breakfast of delicious eggs and sausages. Chai Xiaoqi playfully confronts him about his behavior while drunk, including him pulling her hand to his chest and drooling while asking for stories. He advises her not to waste her time on him, claiming he has no interest in her and that their relationship will lead nowhere, attributing her attraction to his own "perfection."
Chai Xiaoqi playfully retorts that he is conceited and she is only drawn to his "scent," quickly correcting herself to say he is a "tasteful man." Fang Leng then leaves her to finish eating, dismissing her plan to share the leftovers with Chai and Xiaobu as "wasteful."
Back at her place, Chai Xiaoqi is greeted by Chai and Xiaobu with ribbons, who are excitedly anticipating the "love story of an arrogant boss and a naive deliverywoman" to finally come to fruition. Chai Xiaoqi downplays their night together, disappointing Chai, who loses interest and leaves to manage her store, remarking that women should prioritize earning money.
Chai Xiaoqi then checks her sapphire collection, only to discover her device is broken and no hormones were collected, making her despair about returning to her home planet. She also worries that she might have accidentally revealed the "hormones" secret to Fang Leng, but Xiaobu assures her Fang Leng wouldn't take her seriously, as he already believes she is "mentally unsound."
Meanwhile, Mr. Han, dreaming of praise and promotion from Fang Leng, is quickly brought back to reality when Fang Leng appears and scolds him for being absent the previous night, demanding he prepare for a meeting. During a meeting with the fragrance department, Fang Leng, inspired by recent events, proposes a new perfume called "Dreamy Love."
He explains that this fragrance aims to capture the "scent of a lover" and create a dreamy, infatuated feeling for its users, a novel concept that excites the team. He sternly emphasizes the need for strict confidentiality during the early development stage.
Later, outside the office, Mr. Han inadvertently spills the secret to Uncle Kang while boasting about the innovative nature of "Dreamy Love" compared to older products like "Rainy Rainbow," mistakenly mentioning the name "Dreamy Love" and then nervously dismissing it as an old man's misunderstanding. Unbeknownst to Mr. Han, Uncle Kang immediately uses this leaked information to contact shareholders, planning to sabotage Fang Leng's new project.
Fang Lie, receiving a video call from his mother, spots her on Youth Road while she is waiting at a traffic light, prompting him to try and flee. Luckily, Xiaobu appears and helps him evade his mother's search. Fang Lie then takes Xiaobu to his large art studio, where he gently teases her about her lack of understanding regarding relationships, suggesting she's never dated.
He explains that dating transforms lonely actions into romantic shared experiences and fulfills mutual wishes, revealing his own wish to become a painter. Xiaobu, in turn, shares her wish to fix a "super sophisticated computer system," which Fang Lie offers to "smash" and replace. Concurrently, at a board meeting, Fang Leng proposes significantly increasing funding and technical support for the fragrance department to develop new products and lead the market.
However, Uncle Kang vehemently opposes this, arguing that the department is a financial drain, not a source of profit, and suggests halving its budget due to market saturation and rising risks. He dismisses the "Dreamy Love" perfume project as mere "concept" without a viable prototype, questioning Fang Leng's estimations and accusing him of making arbitrary decisions and wasting company resources. Other shareholders agree with Uncle Kang's objections.
Fang Leng, feeling betrayed by the mention of "Dreamy Love," instructs his R&D team to continue their work despite the budget cuts, assuring them he will find a way to secure the necessary funds. He suspects an internal leak and questions Mr. Han, who, knowing he accidentally spilled the secret to Uncle Kang, remains silent out of fear of repercussions. Fang Leng, still frustrated by the leak, has previously instructed Mr. Han to find the culprit.
Meanwhile, Chai Xiaoqi makes a milk tea delivery to Fang Leng's office. Fang Lie, observing her and hearing employees refer to Chai Xiaoqi and Fang Leng as a "couple," grows suspicious. His suspicion peaks when he sees Chai Xiaoqi talking to Uncle Kang, reinforcing his false belief that she is an informant planted by opponents of Fang Leng. Fang Lie then arranges for Chai Xiaoqi to be called into Fang Leng's office.
Fang Leng, seeking to expose what he believes is her true intention, confronts her directly about her purpose for approaching him. Chai Xiaoqi, misinterpreting his interrogation as being about her alien identity and mission to collect hormones, attempts to sell him a VIP membership for RMB 1,000 to reveal her "relationship" with Fang Leng. When Fang Lie pays, she cheekily informs him he needs to upgrade to "super VVIP" for such information.
Growing impatient, Fang Leng presses her directly about her purpose for approaching him. Chai Xiaoqi, flustered and accidentally staining his pants, tries to evade, believing he has discovered her extraterrestrial nature. When he threatens to involve the police, she tearfully confesses she was "just doing her job," inadvertently confirming Fang Leng's worst fears that she was sent to "destroy" him.
Asserting his fearlessness in the face of being replaced, Fang Leng orders the security department to blacklist Chai Xiaoqi, forbidding her presence at the company. Alone, Chai Xiaoqi furiously writes "Stupid Fang Leng" in her notebook, vowing to write down future rebuttals.
She reminds herself that "Cape Towners can't be bullied" and briefly considers "extraordinary measures such as murder" to protect her home planet, but dismisses the idea as too complicated and detrimental to her "good child image," also realizing they need Fang Leng to complete her mission.
Feeling guilty for Chai Xiaoqi being blacklisted, Mr. Han, seeing her barred from the building, secretly advises her to win Fang Leng's heart through his stomach, suggesting elaborate dishes like "Stewed Goose Webs with Abalone." Chai, however, dismisses this as outdated advice, insisting that meals must be "unforgettable" with "memorable names" to truly capture a man's attention. She then gives Chai Xiaoqi her own "secret" recipe book.
Eager to impress, Chai Xiaoqi attempts to cook several dishes, including "Shaved Ice with Love" and "Stealing Glances and a Kiss," but her culinary efforts quickly result in a chaotic mess and a smoke-filled kitchen. Fang Leng, alerted by the commotion, rushes in, extinguishes the budding fire, and hands her a drink as the sprinklers activate, soaking the kitchen.
Chai Xiaoqi, assuming he'll call the police again, questions why he's looking at her, and Fang Leng demands to know how much "they" paid her. She refuses to betray her "organization," prompting Fang Leng to accuse her of initiating a deception, reminding her of things she doesn't remember, and calling her a "soft persimmon" for not fighting back. He then attempts to return her sapphire ring.
As Fang Leng attempts to return the sapphire ring to Chai Xiaoqi, holding it triggers a severe headache and a flood of fragmented memories involving her. He sees images of himself with Chai Xiaoqi, hearing his past self declare her "the one I've been looking for" and asking her to hold him. He then collapses to the floor, disoriented.
Chai Xiaoqi, concerned, asks if he's alright and quickly removes the ring from his hand, which seems to instantly alleviate his pain and restore his composure. He quickly dismisses the incident, claiming "nothing happened," and abruptly leaves, leaving Chai Xiaoqi bewildered by his sudden change. A weather forecast warns of an impending orange storm warning for heavy rain due to Typhoon Dujuan that evening.
Fang Leng, already in his car with Mr. Han as it begins to rain earlier than predicted, demands to be driven to a city unaffected by the storm. During the drive, more vivid memories of Chai Xiaoqi flash through his mind—moments where he told her, "besides me, no one else wants to go out with her" and passionately asked her to "Be my girlfriend." These resurfacing memories lead him to a startling realization: Chai Xiaoqi is, in fact, his ex-girlfriend.
