Once We Get Married Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Gu Xixi graduated two years ago and is now starting her own business. She and her best friend Lin Xiaoya have their own online store selling clothes. Although she is an ordinary person, she has an extraordinary dream: to become a top-notch fashion designer. One day, just after Gu Xixi woke up, her mother called her to the dry cleaner's.
It turned out that a customer was causing trouble, falsely claiming that her haute couture dress had been ruined by Gu Xixi's mother's dry cleaner's and demanding 30,000 yuan in compensation from Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi saw at a glance that the dress was fake and said she would compensate a maximum of 150 yuan. The customer who was trying to scam them wouldn't give up and threatened to call the police.
Gu Xixi was not intimidated and said that if they called the police, the police could take the item to the counter for authentication, and if it was found to be fake, she would sue her for attempted blackmail. The customer felt a little guilty and quickly fled. After helping her mother resolve the matter, Gu Xixi went to see Lin Xiaoya. President Yin Sichen happened to need some buyers to purchase a Myrinme wedding dress.
Through the Taobao online store, Yin Sichen found Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi knew this wedding dress was difficult to acquire because the designer Alex only made twelve such dresses a year, each costing millions. However, if she successfully purchased it, she could receive a commission of over 100,000 yuan.
Adding that Lin Xiaoya said Alex would be attending a reception nearby and that she could help get an invitation, Gu Xixi decided to give it a try and took on the order. Yin Sichen also promptly paid the deposit. Yin Sichen was also going to the reception that Alex was attending. His assistant booked Ran Xiwei to be his female companion.
Before Gu Xixi went to the reception, Lin Xiaoya specially rented a luxury car for her to make a good impression. However, it was a rainy day. Gu Xixi, trying to avoid a pedestrian, crashed the car into a tree. Gu Xixi quickly got out to check on the person's condition. Mo Zixin was so startled that he sat on the ground. Gu Xixi went up to him with an umbrella and asked about his condition.
Looking at Gu Xixi, that person recalled things from his childhood. Gu Xixi was in a hurry to get to the reception and originally wanted to leave first, but the car was no longer drivable. So, Mo Zixin kindly drove Gu Xixi to the reception. The two exchanged contact information. After Gu Xixi left, Mo Zixin's assistant asked him if Gu Xixi was the person he was looking for.
Mo Zixin only said that Gu Xixi seemed to not remember him anymore. Just as Gu Xixi was about to enter the reception, she discovered that her invitation was left in the car. In order to enter the reception, she set her sights on Yin Sichen, who had just arrived at the entrance. Yin Sichen's original female companion, Ran Xiwei, was still in Paris and couldn't return to China. Gu Xixi then followed Yin Sichen and slipped into the reception.
Yin Sichen seemed to know that Gu Xixi had followed him in, but he didn't expose her. Yin Sichen asked her if she could tell what he did for a living. Gu Xixi analyzed it for a bit. The two of them then saw Alex again. Yin Sichen even deliberately told Gu Xixi that Alex's bow tie and cufflinks were anime merchandise, suggesting Gu Xixi approach Alex.
Through the details of the anime merchandise, Gu Xixi successfully impressed Alex and made him see her differently. While they were chatting happily, the reception's security suddenly came looking for Gu Xixi and asked her to show her invitation. The situation was a bit awkward, and Gu Xixi could only be taken away by security. At this moment, Yin Sichen suddenly appeared and said that he needed someone appreciated by Alex to be his female companion.
Gu Xixi also realized that it was Yin Sichen who reported her for not having an invitation. To stay at the reception, Gu Xixi could only agree. Before the two went out, Yin Sichen placed a necklace around her neck. The two went together arm in arm to see Alex. Alex recognized the necklace on Gu Xixi's neck. This necklace was a memorial necklace designed by Alex's deceased wife.
Alex proposed that Gu Xixi wear the wedding dress he designed, paired with this necklace, and stand on the stage. This would also be a way to commemorate his deceased wife. Gu Xixi originally wanted to agree, but Yin Sichen did not allow Gu Xixi to disrupt his plan. He only wanted to achieve a collaboration with Myrinme and did not want any complications. Yin Sichen pulled Gu Xixi aside, took off her necklace, and told her to leave quickly.
Gu Xixi was spurred on by Yin Sichen and vowed to buy Alex's wedding dress. She lied to Alex, saying her necklace was lost. Seeing this, Yin Sichen had no choice but to step forward and say that Gu Xixi's necklace was with him. Gu Xixi took the opportunity to propose buying the wedding dress from Alex. Alex readily agreed and told Gu Xixi to come see him tomorrow.
Seeing that the matter of buying the wedding dress was settled, Gu Xixi planned to leave. However, she sprained her ankle while passing by the pool. Just as Gu Xixi was about to fall into the pool, Yin Sichen quickly reached out to pull her, but unexpectedly fell in with Gu Xixi. The two even accidentally kissed.
Episode 2 Recap
After Gu Xixi returned, Lin Xiaoya was very surprised when she heard about Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen, and told her about the Wanmao Shopping Mall founded by Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi just felt that Yin Sichen was very annoying and asked Lin Xiaoya to help her check who overtook her car tonight and caused her to have a car accident. Lin Xiaoya agreed. She then asked who the person who fixed her car was, and if he was handsome.
Gu Xixi recalled Mo Zixin's appearance and said excitedly that he was quite handsome, but she only left her contact information and did not keep Mo Zixin's phone number. As she was talking, Mo Zixin sent her a message, and the two agreed to meet tomorrow. After agreeing to meet, Mo Zixin started drawing drafts and updating his comic on the computer. Coincidentally, Gu Xixi was also following this comic.
The next morning, while Gu Xixi was eating at home, her grandmother kept urging her to get married and told her to find a rich man. Gu Xixi said she had a boyfriend and would bring him to meet her grandmother on her birthday. Gu Xixi went to find Alex again to buy the wedding dress, but Alex said that he had already signed a contract with Wanmao.
If she wanted the wedding dress, given the relationship between Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen, Yin Sichen should be the one to give it to her. To avoid exposing the lie she and Yin Sichen had woven, Gu Xixi could only leave. She then went to Lin Xiaoya. Lin Xiaoya told her two pieces of news. The first news was that the person who overtook her car last night was Yin Sichen.
The other news was that Gu Xixi was trending on hot search. The photo of Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi accidentally kissing in the pool last night had been taken by someone and widely publicized. Gu Xixi's boyfriend, Zhao Zegang, saw the news and called Gu Xixi to break up. Gu Xixi wanted to go and explain clearly to him, but found that Zhao Zegang was already being ambiguous with another girl.
Gu Xixi cursed him as a scumbag, proposed to break up first, and dumped Zhao Zegang. Yin Sichen and Shang Ke saw this scene from the side. Yin Sichen heard Lin Xiaoya say that the two of them were going to a bar to drink tonight. Shang Ke guessed that Gu Xixi was dumped because of the photo of her and Yin Sichen, so Yin Sichen suggested they also go to the bar.
In the bar, Lin Xiaoya went out to the restroom. Just then, Yin Sichen also found Gu Xixi and sat next to her. Gu Xixi mistook Yin Sichen for Lin Xiaoya, and said that the root of everything was Yin Sichen, and that Yin Sichen had ruined her career and love life. As Gu Xixi was cursing, she fell onto Yin Sichen's body. Yin Sichen couldn't bear it, so he told Fei Ang to bring the car over.
As soon as Yin Sichen carried Gu Xixi into the car, Gu Xixi started talking drunkenly about wanting to eat chicken wings, and taking advantage of her drunkenness, she pulled Yin Sichen closer and kissed him. Fortunately, Gu Xixi said her home address, so Yin Sichen sent her back. Waking up in the morning, Gu Xixi saw her mother's worried face.
Gu's mother said her rent had been taken by Gu's father for investment, and that her grandmother's birthday was in two days and she insisted on celebrating it at a five-star hotel. Gu Xixi comforted her mother, saying that she had a big order recently and would pay both the rent and the birthday money when the time came. Gu Xixi went to see Mo Zixin again. After some conversation, Mo Zixin revealed his identity to Gu Xixi.
Only then did Gu Xixi remember that the person in front of her was her childhood friend. Mo Zixin used to be afraid of rainy days, and Gu Xixi made him a 'sunny doll'. Mo Zixin fixed her car and didn't want an IOU, instead proposing that Gu Xixi teach him how to paint, one lesson per week, for a full year, which would count as paying off the repair cost.
The beauty Shang Ke met at the bar last night was the new general manager, Mu Ruona. Shang Ke wanted to get close to Mu Ruona, but Mu Ruona was cold and only talked about business, also mentioning that there was a problem with the contract with Wanmao and that she needed to go talk to Yin Sichen. When Gu Xixi went to Wanmao to find Yin Sichen, she happened to see Mu Ruona coming to negotiate with Yin Sichen.
The two were classmates and looked very familiar with each other, so Gu Xixi misunderstood their relationship. After Mu Ruona left, Gu Xixi brought up the matter of buying the wedding dress to Yin Sichen, but Yin Sichen said that Myrinme would be sold in his mall in three months, and these three months were their promotional period, during which Myrinme wedding dresses would not be sold anywhere in the world.
While the two were talking, Ran Xiwei also arrived at the company. Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen did not reach an agreement. Just as Gu Xixi was about to leave, she tripped over her shoelace and fell. Yin Sichen pulled her, and they fell onto the sofa together in a hug. Gu Xixi was both embarrassed and annoyed.
Before leaving, she took out the repair bill and said that Yin Sichen's overtaking last night caused her car accident and demanded compensation. Yin Sichen, however, thought she was crazy for money and ignored her. As Gu Xixi was leaving, Ran Xiwei saw her and brushed past her. Seeing that she couldn't buy the wedding dress from Yin Sichen, Gu Xixi went to find Alex again.
Episode 3 Recap
Ran Xiwei told Yin Sichen that she planned to establish her own media studio this time and wouldn't be leaving. She also asked about the situation with Gu Xixi just now. Yin Sichen said it was just a small issue and had been resolved. Gu Xixi found Alex and said that she and Yin Sichen had been in love for many years, and that Yin Sichen had proposed to her at the previous banquet, but she wasn't ready.
However, after seeing Alex's wedding dress, she suddenly changed her mind and was filled with anticipation for marriage. She wanted to buy one of Alex's wedding dresses as a surprise for Yin Sichen. Alex said that he couldn't sell the wedding dress to her privately now, but he could sell her the handmade wedding dress from that time. Gu Xixi was very happy. After returning, she sent a message to the buyer, asking him to send the final payment.
Yin Sichen had obtained the agency rights for Myrinme, so he thought Gu Xixi was a fraud and demanded to see the purchase certificate before transferring the money. However, the purchase certificate was only available after paying the deposit. In order to get the wedding dress, Lin Xiaoya helped pay the fifty thousand yuan deposit. Mo Zixin came for Gu Xixi's painting lesson as agreed.
During the first sketching lesson, Mo Zixin was not focused on the class, just staring blankly at Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi told Mo Zixin to look at the light-dark boundary on her face, but Mo Zixin praised her eyes for being beautiful. Gu Xixi felt a little embarrassed. At the press conference for Myrinme's entry into Wanmao, Yin Sichen asked Fei Ang to deal with the "fraudulent" daigou. Alex also asked why Gu Xixi hadn't come.
Yin Sichen lied, saying Gu Xixi had a stomach illness. At the press conference, a reporter asked about Alex's sample wedding dress. Alex said he sold it to Yin Sichen's fiancée, Gu Xixi. For a moment, there was an uproar in the entire venue, but Yin Sichen had no choice but to admit to this matter. Gu Xixi knew nothing about this. Their family had just finished celebrating Grandma Gu's birthday.
Just as Gu Xixi was about to swipe her card to pay, the restaurant manager said that three sets of pure silver cutlery were missing from the private room and they needed to pay two thousand yuan in compensation according to the price. Gu Xixi knew that some relative must have been greedy and stolen the cutlery. She tried a gentle approach first, giving her family enough face, but no one was willing to hand over the cutlery.
Gu Xixi then directly said she would call the police and let them handle it. Just then, Mo Zixin suddenly arrived. The two of them worked together, saying that if the police found out who stole the cutlery, they would be sentenced to at least a few years in prison. The relative who stole the cutlery quickly took it out.
Mo Zixin, trying to ease the atmosphere, said he would wrap it up and give it to Grandma as a gift. Gu Xixi was unwilling. While they were arguing, Yin Sichen came looking for her and wanted to pull Gu Xixi away. Facing Yin Sichen's questioning, Gu Xixi also knew what had happened.
Soon after, Mo Zixin also saw the news and told his assistant to contact Alex's people, hoping to get the agency rights for his other brand, Zhong Ai. Yin Sichen interrogated Gu Xixi. While arguing, Lin Xiaoya called Gu Xixi and said that the buyer had cancelled the order, and the shipping address was at Wanmao Headquarters. The deposit was now gone. Gu Xixi only found out after asking that the buyer was Yin Sichen.
At this moment, Fei Ang came in to tell Yin Sichen that Wenye Group also had an intention to cooperate on Zhong Ai, and that Alex was very interested in Gu Xixi. They needed to seize the opportunity before Alex made a decision. Yin Sichen's eyes darted, and he said he wanted Gu Xixi to continue acting as his fiancée, and he would compensate Gu Xixi for her losses.
Gu Xixi agreed, after all, she was also partly responsible for causing such a big problem. She said she only wanted the compensation for the deposit and didn't need any payment. Yin Sichen then asked his assistant to send Gu Xixi his personal information so that Gu Xixi could memorize it and not reveal any flaws in front of Alex. Mu Ruona invited Shang Ke to participate in the department team building.
Shang Ke remembered that Yin Sichen had told him before that he could try being distant towards Mu Ruona, so he deliberately said he wouldn't go and also said he would eat with a junior schoolmate. Mu Ruona didn't seem to care at all and left after learning that Shang Ke was not going. Early the next morning, Mo Zixin went to meet Alex, showed him his proposal, and also suggested collaborating on a design exhibition.
Although Alex was somewhat interested, he still preferred Gu Xixi's demeanor. Yin Sichen arranged for Gu Xixi to wear Alex's designed wedding dress for a magazine cover shoot and invited Alex to supervise. During the shoot, Yin Sichen was involuntarily attracted to Gu Xixi. Alex also couldn't help but exclaim that Gu Xixi was very beautiful and said that Yin Sichen was very lucky.
Alex said that he had previously worried that Yin Sichen's businessman mindset would affect his brand's image, but Gu Xixi was very fitting for his brand's image, so he said he would give the agency rights to Yin Sichen and also asked Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi to take a photo together. Their conversation went very smoothly. Yin Sichen offered to treat Gu Xixi to dinner.
Gu Xixi, trying to be strong, refused to get into Yin Sichen's car and ended up exhausted from walking around the estate. In the end, Yin Sichen still pulled Gu Xixi into the car. After finishing dinner, Yin Sichen took out a check. Gu Xixi didn't want it, but Yin Sichen thought Gu Xixi wanted to get more. He thought Gu Xixi was someone who would do anything for money.
Gu Xixi was so angry that she splashed a glass of water onto Yin Sichen's face. This scene was photographed by a paparazzi hidden in the dark. Fei Ang then asked him why he acted so harshly. Yin Sichen said if he didn't, he was afraid Gu Xixi would really fall in love with him.
After returning to the company, Alex sent a message saying that the agency rights would only automatically take effect after Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi were married for three months. For the sake of the agency rights, Yin Sichen had no choice but to find Gu Xixi and propose marriage to her.
Episode 4 Recap
Facing Yin Sichen's stiff proposal, Gu Xixi felt that Yin Sichen was being particularly unreasonable and walked away, shaking him off. Seeing that Gu Xixi wouldn't agree, Yin Sichen resorted to some tactics. He sent the wedding dress to Gu Xixi and arranged for an overseas call to be made to Gu Xixi, asking her to pay the remaining balance within three days. Gu Xixi was in a difficult position and could only borrow money everywhere.
Lin Xiaoya suggested calling Mo Zixin to try, but Mo Zixin was currently deep in the mountains searching for a colorist, hoping he could mix the pigment for Calla 5277. Calla 5277 is a color that Gu Xixi particularly likes, but unfortunately, it was discontinued a long time ago. Mo Zixin's trip was for Gu Xixi's sake, but there was no signal in the deep mountains, so he missed Gu Xixi's call.
Since Gu Xixi couldn't borrow money, she could only choose to call Yin Sichen and agree to his marriage request. Yin Sichen took out three contracts and used both coaxing and trickery to get Gu Xixi to sign them. Gu Xixi also added three conditions: that Yin Sichen give her independent personal space, that she only work eight hours a day with overtime pay for anything exceeding that, and that Yin Sichen not develop feelings for her.
After signing the contracts, Gu Xixi realized that Yin Sichen had tricked her, but she had already signed. If she broke the contract, she would have to pay a penalty. The die was cast, and both of them went home to tell their families about the marriage.
Yin Sichen's father was a little angry to learn that Yin Sichen was going to have a fake marriage for the company, but the stubborn Yin Sichen valued the company more and did not want its interests to be harmed because of this matter. Yin's father couldn't argue with his son and could only agree, but he said that Yin's mother definitely wouldn't agree.
Yin Sichen had already considered this and asked his father to take his mother on a trip for a three-month couple's getaway. During this time, he would help look after the Yin Group. Yin Sichen also didn't forget to ask his father to help record a blessing video. On Gu Xixi's side, at first, the Gu family were a bit surprised to learn that Gu Xixi was suddenly getting married.
When Grandma Gu heard there was no bride price, she even scolded Gu Xixi for being a spendthrift. Just then, Fei Ang arrived with people carrying a pile of gifts. Gu's father and Grandma Gu were instantly bought over by these things and no longer opposed the marriage, but Gu's mother still had a worried look on her face.
Although Shang Ke did not participate in the team building, he still went downstairs to the team building location, wanting to find Mu Ruona. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, Mu Ruona suddenly came down. Shang Ke then persistently asked to go for a walk with Mu Ruona. As they walked, Shang Ke suddenly became serious and said that he knew many companies wanted Mu Ruona.
If Mu Ruona didn't want to stay at his company, she could leave. But Mu Ruona said that the company atmosphere was good and Shang Ke was also working hard, so she would still stay. Shang Ke was very touched and hugged Mu Ruona in his excitement. Mu Ruona didn't blame him and even told Shang Ke to keep up the good work. Shang Ke was very angry to learn about the marriage between Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi.
He also felt that Gu Xixi was not worthy of Yin Sichen. Ran Xiwei was also very sad. Both of them felt that Gu Xixi was unreliable, and they had previously seen Gu Xixi and Mo Zixin getting very close, worrying that Yin Sichen would be deceived by Gu Xixi. Yin Sichen was very confident and told them to believe that he could handle Gu Xixi.
After saying a few words, Yin Sichen said he still had things to deal with and asked Shang Ke to take Ran Xiwei back. Ran Xiwei left indignantly. On the way back, Shang Ke understood Ran Xiwei's feelings for Yin Sichen and told her to cry if she wanted to. But Ran Xiwei said that when she cried as a child, Yin Sichen told her that tears wouldn't solve any problems. From then on, she never cried again.
She had always thought that after returning to the country, she would be the one standing beside Yin Sichen, but she didn't expect it to be ruined by Gu Xixi. The next day was the wedding. Yin's parents did not come, but Yin's grandmother came to the wedding venue. Grandma Yin pretended to be serious and asked Yin Sichen if he was sure he wanted to marry Gu Xixi.
After Yin Sichen confirmed, Grandma Yin changed her serious expression, praised Gu Xixi for being beautiful with a face full of smiles, and told Yin Sichen to take good care of Gu Xixi. After Grandma Yin left, Ran Xiwei also came. While shaking hands with Gu Xixi, Ran Xiwei fiercely whispered in her ear that she had stolen her life. Gu Xixi felt a chill.
After Ran Xiwei went in, Gu Xixi looked at Yin Sichen and said that the contract didn't say she had to deal with love rivals. Yin Sichen replied that if Gu Xixi hadn't fallen in love with him, where would the love rivals come from? Gu Xixi was speechless. After the wedding ceremony, Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi that she was now the nominal Mrs. Yin, and the first thing was to learn how to socialize.
To hide her emotions, Gu Xixi desperately poured drinks for herself. Gu's mother also secretly slipped Yin Sichen a note and a bank card, telling Yin Sichen that Gu Xixi eats spicy food when she's sad, and also about Gu Xixi's dream of becoming a designer. After drinking too much, Gu Xixi was taken back to the room by Yin Sichen. Drunk, she cried loudly in front of Yin Sichen.
Yin Sichen, however, envied Gu Xixi for being able to cry freely and vent her emotions. Gu Xixi even pulled Yin Sichen onto the bed and fell fast asleep holding him.
Episode 5 Recap
Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen, on the second day of their marriage, Yin Sichen took her on a tour of the manor. To prevent others from discovering that their marriage was fake, the two had to live in the same room, so Yin Sichen arranged for her to stay in his walk-in closet. The first night Gu Xixi slept in the walk-in closet, she heard movement in the room outside. Going out to check, she found Yin Sichen doing push-ups.
Yin Sichen said he suffered from severe insomnia and needed exercise to help him sleep. Gu Xixi originally wanted to take Yin Sichen's bed, but Yin Sichen would only let Gu Xixi sleep on a chair nearby. Gu Xixi picked up a book to read; she always had to read aloud when reading a book. As a result, after only reading a few sentences, Yin Sichen actually fell asleep.
Gu Xixi felt a bit disdainful, thinking he wasn't insomniac at all, but rather fell asleep instantly. Yin Sichen slept soundly until dawn. When he woke up, he was very surprised, as reading in the past never had this effect on him. Yin Sichen was rushing to the company, left a sentence telling Gu Xixi to continue reading to him tonight, and then hurriedly left. Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya's online shop was suspended for three months.
The two wanted to use Gu Xixi's name to go to the platform and ask the manager of the merchant department for clarification. This platform happened to belong to Wenye Group. The two met Mo Zixin at the company. Mo Zixin originally wanted to hide his identity, but when his assistant called him 'Mr. Mo', Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya heard it. Both were a bit flustered.
Mo Zixin was a bit embarrassed and told his assistant Yu Nong to quickly handle the matter. It was just around noon, so Mo Zixin suggested treating Gu Xixi and the others to lunch. Lin Xiaoya tactfully left, telling Gu Xixi to have a good chat with Mo Zixin and resolve the online shop issue. Mo Zixin took out the pigments he had painstakingly acquired and gave them to Gu Xixi.
He didn't mention how difficult it was to get the pigments, only saying he bought them when he happened to see them. Gu Xixi didn't know how to thank Mo Zixin, so Mo Zixin asked Gu Xixi to use the pigments to paint a picture. To please Grandma Yin, Ran Xiwei helped Grandma Yin find someone to make a handbag. This handbag was designed by Grandma Yin herself and is unique in the world.
Grandma Yin said it was a gift for Gu Xixi. Ran Xiwei felt a bit unhappy inside. She also had someone find Zhao Zegang. After Gu Xixi returned home, Grandma Yin gave the bag to Gu Xixi and told Gu Xixi to work hard and let her hold her great-grandchild sooner. Gu Xixi was a bit shy. Grandma Yin saw that Yin Sichen was waiting for Gu Xixi as soon as he got home and looked a bit angry.
She told Gu Xixi that when Yin Sichen is angry, she should play a couple of games with him, let him win, and he would calm down. Just then, Yin Sichen called Gu Xixi to the study. He already knew about Gu Xixi's visit to Wenye Group that day and asked Gu Xixi how she knew Mo Zixin. Gu Xixi told him truthfully, and Yin Sichen didn't press further.
Seeing that Yin Sichen was still in a bad mood, Gu Xixi suggested playing games with him. As a result, Gu Xixi was temporarily engrossed in her own enjoyment and actually beat Yin Sichen. Seeing Yin Sichen's incredulous expression, Gu Xixi suggested another round. This time, she went easy on him, letting Yin Sichen win. Only then did Yin Sichen's mood improve. He also asked Gu Xixi to read to him and accompany him to sleep.
With Gu Xixi's company, Yin Sichen successfully fell asleep once again. Shang Ke saw Mu Ruona on the phone with a customer, smiling broadly, at the company. He felt a bit jealous and secretly went over, only to find that the customer, Mark, was being physical with Mu Ruona. Shang Ke wanted to step up as a hero and save the beauty, but was knocked down by Mark.
Seeing Shang Ke injured, Mu Ruona, in a moment of urgency, also hit Mark and sent Shang Ke to the hospital. After Shang Ke had his wound bandaged at the hospital, Mu Ruona sent him home and told him to rest well for the next few days. Shang Ke suddenly confessed his feelings, asking Mu Ruona if she liked him.
Mu Ruona said she didn't like him at the moment, as Shang Ke was her boss, and she couldn't see him as a romantic partner. Moreover, she didn't want work matters to become complicated. Gu Xixi had previously given the bride price money to Gu's mother, but the money was taken by Gu's father and Grandma Gu. Gu's mother didn't have money for rent. After Gu Xixi found out, she decided to help Gu's mother resolve this matter.
After returning to the Yin family home, Grandma Yin discovered that Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen were sleeping in separate beds and asked Gu Xixi if she had a quarrel with Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi quickly said they were playing a game, and the loser slept on the rocking chair. Gu Xixi also went to the company to deliver chicken soup to Yin Sichen. By the time Yin Sichen finished his meeting and came out, Gu Xixi had already fallen asleep waiting in the office.
Episode 6 Recap
After Gu Xixi woke up, she told Yin Sichen that Grandma Yin had discovered she was sleeping on the rocking chair and that she had lied to cover it up. Gu Xixi then went in a big circle, saying she wanted to get her pay in advance. Yin Sichen refused, so Gu Xixi had to leave. That night, Gu Xixi slept back in the walk-in closet and told Yin Sichen to honor the contract and not open the door.
Yin Sichen had to sleep alone. The next day, Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya took some clothes that Yin Sichen had sent as a betrothal gift, which Grandma Gu hadn't even opened, to a specialty store to return them, hoping to get some money back first. However, the store said the clothes were past the return period and refused to accept them. The two also met Ran Xiwei in the store.
After exchanging greetings, Ran Xiwei invited Gu Xixi to shop together. Gu Xixi agreed on the surface but secretly wanted to leave quickly. But Lin Xiaoya said that even if they lose, they shouldn't lose face, and told Gu Xixi to stay and shop together. She even showed off by buying the dress that Ran Xiwei had been looking at. After leaving the mall, the two went to a second-hand store to sell those clothes.
Ran Xiwei happened to see them. The two sold all the clothes, but they didn't get much money. The clerk saw Gu Xixi's bag and recognized that it was quite valuable, offering 50,000 yuan to buy it. This bag was a gift from Grandma Yin, and Gu Xixi absolutely refused to sell it. Lin Xiaoya then suggested pawning the bag at the store and promised to redeem it within three months.
When Gu Xixi returned home, Grandma Yin looked a little unhappy and proactively asked Gu Xixi why she wasn't carrying that bag. Gu Xixi felt a little guilty and said she was afraid it would get damaged by the sun, so she didn't carry it. Grandma Yin said it was her birthday next week and she had invited many people to the birthday party, asking Gu Xixi to be sure to carry that bag.
Gu Xixi had no choice but to agree. Shang Ke's hand was almost healed. Mu Ruona came to Shang Ke's home to deliver documents and saw that Shang Ke had been living on snacks these past few days. She couldn't bear it and cooked him some instant noodles. Although it was just a simple bowl of instant noodles, Shang Ke was very touched. Mu Ruona saw that Shang Ke had finished eating and wanted to wash the bowl.
Their hands touched, they were very close, and as their eyes met, Mu Ruona couldn't help but close her eyes. Just as Shang Ke was about to lean in for a kiss, he remembered the scene where Mark kicked him when he was harassing Mu Ruona that day, and he suddenly lost his courage. Mu Ruona opened her eyes and saw that Shang Ke was still in a daze, so she turned around and left.
Shang Ke was filled with regret. At Grandma Yin's birthday party, Ran Xiwei deliberately provoked Gu Xixi, saying that someone like her could never be a qualified Mrs. Yin. She also asked Gu Xixi to socialize with her, intending to show Gu Xixi who was in charge. She also deliberately bought the bag that Gu Xixi had sold. Seeing this, Grandma Yin asked Gu Xixi to take out the bag she had given her.
Gu Xixi originally wanted to confess, but luckily Yin Sichen helped her by saying that he and Gu Xixi would go back together to get the bag. It turned out that Gu Xixi had made an identical one herself to cope with the birthday party. Yin Sichen misunderstood that she had sold the bag because she was greedy for money and told Gu Xixi not to speak later, saying he would explain.
After they went out, they handed the bag to Grandma Yin. Grandma Yin didn't immediately distinguish the difference. Ran Xiwei then deliberately said that the two bags were different colors and suggested finding an appraiser to authenticate them. Yin Sichen then said that designers generally make a sample before producing the final product, so both pieces were real, just a sample and a finished product. He resolved the matter with a few words.
That night, Gu Xixi wanted to explain to Yin Sichen, but Yin Sichen didn't want to listen, just thinking she loved money. Gu Xixi felt very wronged. The next morning at breakfast, Grandma Yin noticed that something was wrong between them. Gu Xixi originally wanted to explain to Grandma Yin, but Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi not to upset Grandma Yin. If she felt guilty, she should spend more time with Grandma.
Although Yin Sichen refused to listen to Gu Xixi's explanation on the surface, he secretly asked Chen Fei Ang to investigate the matter behind the scenes and learned the real reason. Chen Fei Ang also handed Yin Sichen a speeding ticket. Yin Sichen remembered that Gu Xixi had mentioned before that he speeding caused her car accident.
Meanwhile, during class with Mo Zixin, Gu Xixi mentioned that she liked Nianxi's comics and would definitely go if there was a signing event. Mo Zixin saw that Gu Xixi was in some difficulty and proactively offered Gu Xixi the job of designing and producing work uniforms for his company. After Gu Xixi left, he invited Lin Xiaoya to dinner. Lin Xiaoya told Mo Zixin about Gu Xixi's current difficulties.
After having dinner with Mo Zixin, Lin Xiaoya also told Gu Xixi that Mo Zixin cared about her. Gu Xixi had just finished talking on the phone with Gu's mother and learned that a boss had bought the shops on the laundry street and was renting them at half price to the old tenants, and the rent money paid before had also been returned. Gu Xixi thought it was Mo Zixin who had helped.
Shang Ke and Mu Ruona were negotiating business with Fang Ming from Hongmu Investment. Shang Ke noticed that Fang Ming and Mu Ruona seemed very familiar and asked Mu Ruona what their relationship was. After learning that Fang Ming was Mu Ruona's ex-boyfriend, Shang Ke felt a strong sense of crisis and quickly called Yin Sichen to inquire about Fang Ming's situation. Yin Sichen only knew that they had dated for three or four years but didn't know why they broke up.
Episode 7 Recap
Gu Xixi invited Mo Zixin out to express her gratitude, but Mo Zixin looked completely unaware, saying that he had just learned about Gu Xixi's situation and that by the time he went to find the landlord of the shops, the landlord had already sold them. Gu Xixi felt a bit awkward, but still thanked Mo Zixin for his concern, starting to suspect that Yin Sichen had helped behind the scenes.
Yin Sichen was waiting at home for Gu Xixi to thank him. After Gu Xixi returned home, she didn't show any reaction. Yin Sichen even deliberately asked Gu Xixi if she had encountered anything strange today. Gu Xixi pretended not to understand what Yin Sichen was saying. Only after Yin Sichen became angry out of shame did Gu Xixi say thank you to him.
Yin Sichen then asked Gu Xixi to show her thanks with action, telling Gu Xixi to feed him soup. As a result, the two were too close and both felt a little shy. Gu Xixi changed the subject and asked if she should still read to him tonight. Yin Sichen said he still had things to be busy with and would come to the bedroom after he finished.
Gu Xixi also said that she had used the money she got back to buy a virtual reality device for Grandma Yin and that she would be responsible for playing with Grandma Yin. By the time Yin Sichen returned to the bedroom, Gu Xixi was already asleep. Yin Sichen gazed at Gu Xixi in a daze, wondering what the real Gu Xixi was like.
Gu Xixi was startled awake by Yin Sichen and the book in her hand fell and hit Yin Sichen's head. To compensate Yin Sichen, Gu Xixi promised to read to him for two months. The next day, Gu Xixi took the designed work uniforms to Mo Zixin. Mo Zixin bought all three sets of uniforms she designed with a wave of his hand.
He also said that the company had a support policy recently and could invest in Gu Xixi's online store, and Gu Xixi only needed to provide the designs. After thinking about it, Gu Xixi politely declined. After returning home, Zhao Zegang called Gu Xixi, insisting on meeting her. Yin Sichen was also about to go out at this time and even had Gu Xixi help him choose a tie. Yin Sichen went out to have dinner with Ran Xiwei.
Ran Xiwei's studio was about to open, and she said she wanted to get an exclusive interview with Yin Sichen. While the two were chatting, Gu Xixi also arrived at this restaurant to meet Zhao Zegang. All of this was secretly arranged by Ran Xiwei, who deliberately wanted Yin Sichen to see Zhao Zegang harassing Gu Xixi.
Yin Sichen was sitting not far away and heard Zhao Zegang apologize to Gu Xixi, confess his feelings, and even propose to reconcile with Gu Xixi. However, all of this was secretly filmed by a photographer arranged by Zhao Zegang. Gu Xixi wasn't stupid and knew that Zhao Zegang suddenly seeking her out must have ulterior motives. So she talked back to Zhao Zegang and greatly praised Yin Sichen.
Yin Sichen was initially furious and wanted to flare up, but after hearing Gu Xixi praise him, his mood instantly improved greatly. He even took out his phone and secretly took photos. Ran Xiwei, who was beside him, saw that her plan had not succeeded, and her face was very ugly. Gu Xixi returned and talked about this matter with Lin Xiaoya.
She said she had already guessed the purpose of Zhao Zegang asking to meet her, but she had been helping Yin Sichen record a book recently, so she had the habit of carrying a voice recorder with her. The conversation between the two of them that afternoon had been recorded. Just then, Zhao Zegang sent a message, asking to meet Gu Xixi again, and also sent her the photos from the afternoon.
Yin Sichen's text message also came, saying he needed Gu Xixi urgently for something and asked her to come back quickly. After Gu Xixi returned home, she found that Yin Sichen was just about to sleep and had called her back just to read to him. Midway through reading, Yin Sichen asked Gu Xixi if something was on her mind.
He didn't reveal that he had heard the conversation between Gu Xixi and Zhao Zegang today, only reminding Gu Xixi to play her role well both inside and outside. He also told Gu Xixi to reflect on herself tonight and that he would go to the study to sleep. Gu Xixi then said Yin Sichen was a heartless bastard with no empathy. After Yin Sichen went to the study, he recalled how Gu Xixi always said he had no empathy.
In fact, he was an emotionally rich person when he was a child; it was Yin Mom's strict requirements that suppressed his nature and turned him into this state. During breakfast the next morning, Grandma Yin saw that Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen were having another disagreement.
After learning that Yin Sichen slept in the study last night, she told Aunt Song to find a locksmith to come to the house, saying she wanted to lock Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi in the room. The first volume of the comic drawn by Mo Zixin was about to be released.
To fulfill Gu Xixi's wish, Mo Zixin decided to participate in the comic signing event, but he didn't want to expose himself yet, so he asked Yu Nong to prepare a mask for him. After going to work, Yin Sichen asked Chen Fei Ang to investigate Zhao Zegang's information. He learned that Zhao Zegang's financial situation was not good recently. He also arranged for someone to protect Gu Xixi.
On the other side, Zhao Zegang came to ask Gu Xixi to meet again. Gu Xixi thought she should resolve this matter properly, so she agreed to meet Zhao Zegang and asked Lin Xiaoya to support her nearby. Zhao Zegang asked Gu Xixi for two million yuan right away. Gu Xixi naturally refused to agree.
Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Zegang discovered that Gu Xixi was recording and chased after Gu Xixi, demanding she hand over the voice recorder. Yin Sichen was celebrating the opening of Ran Xiwei's studio. Seeing that Ran Xiwei still kept a painting Yin Sichen had given her when he was five years old, Yin Sichen felt a little emotional.
Ran Xiwei said she was a nostalgic person and took the opportunity to confess to Yin Sichen, saying she had liked Yin Sichen for twenty years. Yin Sichen was a bit unsure how to respond, but Ran Xiwei actively hugged Yin Sichen. At this moment, Lin Xiaoya called Yin Sichen, saying her car had broken down and Gu Xixi might be in danger. Yin Sichen quickly rushed over. Gu Xixi fell accidentally while trying to escape from Zhao Zegang.
Seeing that Zhao Zegang was about to harm Gu Xixi, Yin Sichen rushed forward and punched Zhao Zegang, telling Chen Fei Ang to take Zhao Zegang to the police station. At this moment, the still-shaken Gu Xixi also hugged Yin Sichen in fear. Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi back home and bandaged her wounds. He asked Gu Xixi why she went to meet him.
Gu Xixi said that Zhao Zegang had evidence against Yin Sichen and that she didn't want the photos to be exposed. Yin Sichen said Gu Xixi wasn't too stupid, knowing to record the conversation, but too stupid in terms of feelings, otherwise how could he like Gu Xixi? Gu Xixi didn't retort, just saying that liking someone is liking someone and she couldn't control it.
Yin Sichen, on the other hand, said not to easily invest feelings; without investing feelings, you won't be sad. Gu Xixi asked him if he had never been in love. Yin Sichen stubbornly said he had. Gu Xixi then asked what love felt like. Yin Sichen only talked about physiological principles. Gu Xixi, however, suddenly leaned closer to Yin Sichen and asked him if he felt his face flush and heart beat faster.
Although Yin Sichen was already nervous, he still pretended not to. Gu Xixi then said that it's a human instinct for one's face to flush and heart to beat faster when the opposite sex is close. Yin Sichen didn't want to hear Gu Xixi say this anymore and pulled Gu Xixi towards him with a yank.
Episode 8 Recap
Gu Xixi looked at Yin Sichen, and couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race. She quickly changed the subject, saying she would take Yin Sichen to a place that would make their hearts race. Gu Xixi took Yin Sichen to a street-side food stall for a drink. She also ordered the super spicy chicken wings. Speaking of these super spicy chicken wings, Gu Xixi suddenly remembered kissing Yin Sichen outside the bar before. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Yin Sichen also said she was not easy to deal with. Gu Xixi then joked about Yin Sichen firing her. Yin Sichen casually picked up a piece of paper nearby, and wrote down a supplementary agreement with a pen: Uncondition Gu Xixi still thought Yin Sichen really wanted to fire her, so she signed the agreement without even looking.
It turned out that only after signing, Yin Sichen said it was to extend the contract for three months, asking Gu Xixi to be his nanny for another three months. Gu Xixi quickly tore up the agreement, but Yin Sichen had already taken a picture and sent it to Chen Fei Ang. Gu Xixi was very happy when she saw the message and learned that Nian Xi was having a signing event.
Shang Ke saw Mu Ruona on the phone with someone at the company. Soon, Mu Ruona told Shang Ke that she was leaving work early because she had something important to meet Fang Ming about. Shang Ke said he wanted to go too, and was planning to make a heartfelt confession to Mu Ruona in front of Fang Ming.
When Shang Ke arrived at the location Mu Ruona mentioned, he was blocked at the door because he didn't have an invitation. As a result, he saw Fang Ming proposing on his knees at the entrance, and Mu Ruona was standing in front of Fang Ming. However, Fang Ming was actually proposing to someone next to Mu Ruona. Due to a blind spot, Shang Ke mistakenly thought Fang Ming was proposing to Mu Ruona.
Shang Ke didn't go in, but just turned around and went home to drink alone to vent. Mu Ruona came to Shang Ke's house to find him. Shang Ke was drunk and accused Mu Ruona of giving him hope and then despair, asking why she still came to find him after agreeing to Fang Ming's proposal, and also confessed his feelings to Mu Ruona.
Mu Ruona didn't explain, but just took Shang Ke's drink and drank it, then embraced and kissed Shang Ke. The two spent a night together. After waking up, they both felt a bit awkward. Shang Ke hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet when Mu Ruona found an excuse and left. On this side, Gu Xixi also woke up from her hangover.
Yin Sichen even carried Gu Xixi in a princess carry to the dining room, echoing the words Gu Xixi had used to talk back to Zhao Zegang earlier. Gu Xixi thought Yin Sichen had heard her recording from that day. As soon as Yin Sichen heard about the recording, he told Gu Xixi to quickly hand it over. Gu Xixi only felt extremely ashamed and quickly escaped, saying she didn't have a recording.
Mo Zixin's signing event was about to start. Gu Xixi rushed to the signing event and got an autograph from "Nian Xi". Mo Zixin also proactively offered to hug Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was naturally happy to accept the opportunity to have close contact with her idol. Photos of Zhao Zegang meeting with Gu Xixi were exposed, and Gu Xixi was trending again. Gu Xixi quickly contacted some reporters to hold a press conference.
Although she had the voice recorder as evidence, the reporters were relentless, asking her how she managed to marry Yin Sichen a month after breaking up with Zhao Zegang. Gu Xixi was asked in a way that made her unsure how to answer. Fortunately, Yin Sichen came forward to help Gu Xixi out, saying that he fell in love with Gu Xixi at first sight and then pursued her, and that he didn't care what Gu Xixi was like before.
The group of reporters were left speechless by his retort, and Yin Sichen pulled Gu Xixi away. Yin Sichen got Gu Xixi's voice recorder and even played the recording in front of Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground, telling Yin Sichen to quickly give the voice recorder back to her. During their struggle, they accidentally kissed.
Yin Sichen said he could give it back to Gu Xixi, but she had to extend the contract with him for three months. Gu Xixi could only agree. After returning, Chen Fei Ang told Yin Sichen that there were still some negative news about Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi online.
Yin Sichen sent Chen Fei Ang the photos he had taken at the restaurant before, asking him to write some stories about how he and Gu Xixi teamed up to cleverly deal with the scumbag ex-boyfriend. Chen Fei Ang agreed, and also reminded Yin Sichen that Gu Xixi and Mo Zixin had been getting very close recently. When Yin Sichen went to find Gu Xixi, he found her looking at a photo she took with "Nian Xi" today.
He felt a bit jealous, confiscated the photo, and said Gu Xixi could only have him as her one and only idol. Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya were racking their brains over how to write their brand proposal. Lin Xiaoya suggested asking Yin Sichen for help, but Gu Xixi didn't want to bow down to Yin Sichen.
She also said she wanted to make Yin Sichen think she was a talented and capable person so that he would willingly help her. The next day, Gu Xixi and Grandma Yin went to Yin Sichen's company. Grandma Yin asked Chen Fei Ang to take her to the office to rest. Grandma Yin then asked Yin Sichen to show Gu Xixi around the company.
Gu Xixi saw the company's market research and deliberately pointed out a mistake in the marketing department's decision-making in front of Yin Sichen. But when Yin Sichen asked Gu Xixi how to solve it, Gu Xixi refused to say, deliberately keeping him in suspense. Yin Sichen asked her if she needed something from him. Gu Xixi didn't say directly, only saying that she came to accompany Grandma Yin on a visit.
After returning home in the evening, Gu Xixi finally waited for Yin Sichen to ask for the solution. She told him the solution and proposed that Yin Sichen help her revise her proposal. Yin Sichen readily agreed. Shang Ke overheard Mu Ruona chatting with a colleague at the company. Mu Ruona was originally talking to her colleague about getting prescription glasses, but Shang Ke mistakenly thought Mu Ruona was talking about their one-night stand.
Shang Ke felt a bit complicated inside. After the colleague left, he stammered and asked about that night. Mu Ruona, however, told him not to take it to heart. Yin Sichen added the solution proposed by Gu Xixi to the next quarter's plan. This plan received positive reviews. He found that his contract marriage with Gu Xixi had unexpectedly yielded rewards. Chen Fei Ang then said that Yin Sichen's attitude towards Gu Xixi had changed quite a bit.
Yin Sichen didn't admit it, and said that his favorite toys were thrown away by Yin Mom before. Chen Fei Ang comforted Yin Sichen, saying he was grown up now and capable of protecting the things he liked. After reading Gu Xixi's proposal, Yin Sichen said Gu Xixi was not suitable to write this and told her to give up. The determined Gu Xixi called Mo Zixin for help, but Yin Sichen overheard her.
Episode 9 Recap
Yin Sichen was a little jealous that Gu Xixi had called Mo Zixin for help, but he refused to admit it. He even told Gu Xixi to come and read to him. After only a few sentences, Yin Sichen asked Gu Xixi what she thought of him. Gu Xixi thought for a moment and said that Yin Sichen was like a big durian.
Gu Xixi explained that the durian is the king of fruits, with a high status and value, but it is too smelly and full of thorns. However, people who like durian will really like the smell. Yin Sichen then asked Gu Xixi if she liked durian. Gu Xixi said she liked to eat it, but she couldn't afford it. Gu Xixi didn't want to talk about this topic and quickly continued reading.
The next morning, Yin Sichen woke up and found that Gu Xixi was gone. He asked Aunt Song, who said that Gu Xixi had gone out for a run. Yin Sichen even asked Aunt Song to buy durian. Gu Xixi did not go running, but disguised herself and went to Mo Zixin to ask about the proposal. Mo Zixin had recently moved near Yin Sichen's house.
Gu Xixi ran into Yin Sichen when she came out of Mo Zixin's house, so she quickly put on her sunglasses and sneaked back home. After Yin Sichen returned, he deliberately said that he had met a crazy woman outside and told Gu Xixi to take care of herself. After Yin Sichen arrived at the company, Chen Fei Ang came to the office and told Yin Sichen that the cooperation intention of the Luntai Group was somewhat ambiguous.
He had found out that Wenye Group was also in contact with Luntai Group. Yin Sichen suddenly became a little excited, saying that he must not let Mo Zixin succeed in the cooperation. Yin Sichen quickly calmed down after his impulsive reaction. He shouldn't target Mo Zixin for Gu Xixi's sake, and he almost made the wrong decision. He told Chen Fei Ang to lower the quotation by another three percent as a penalty for Luntai wasting time.
If they didn't want to cooperate, they shouldn't cooperate in the future. Gu Xixi knew that Yin Sichen's words had a hidden meaning. She worriedly told Lin Xiaoya about it. Lin Xiaoya said that Yin Sichen was just jealous, and told Gu Xixi to unleash her feminine charm and coax Yin Sichen by saying some nice words. Gu Xixi was worried about being fired and having her money deducted, so she listened to Lin Xiaoya's advice.
Gu Xixi dressed up carefully and waited in the living room for Yin Sichen to get off work. She spoke softly and sweetly to Yin Sichen, acting cute and asking Yin Sichen to forgive her for what she had done wrong before. Yin Sichen mistakenly thought that Gu Xixi had fallen in love with him. Reason told him that this was not allowed, so he coldly told Gu Xixi to keep her distance from him.
Shang Ke was feeling anxious because Mu Ruona was ignoring him. He went to Yin Sichen for help, but Yin Sichen didn't have a good solution. He even asked how to make a woman who likes him give up the idea. Shang Ke said that he should show affection with another woman in front of that woman. Coincidentally, Yin Sichen and Ran Xiwei were scheduled for an interview that night.
After the interview, Ran Xiwei took out a few bags, saying they were gifts for Grandma Yin and Gu Xixi. She also asked Yin Sichen how things were going with Gu Xixi recently. Yin Sichen said it was not bad. As he spent time with Gu Xixi, he understood her more and more, and he got a different surprise every day. Ran Xiwei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. She said that Yin Sichen liked Gu Xixi very much.
Yin Sichen did not answer, but changed the subject and invited Ran Xiwei to visit his house and personally give the gifts to Grandma. Shang Ke deliberately praised other colleagues in front of Mu Ruona, and secretly watched Mu Ruona work at the company. When Mu Ruona came downstairs, he awkwardly tried to cover up, pretending to be working hard.
Mu Ruona handed him a document and told him to be sure to read it to the end, and then she left. Shang Ke opened the document and saw that Mu Ruona had asked him to meet at eight o'clock. Shang Ke was overjoyed. After Yin Sichen and Ran Xiwei returned, Ran Xiwei deliberately told Gu Xixi that she had confessed her love to Yin Sichen, but Gu Xixi didn't have much reaction. She just said "Oh."
Yin Sichen and Ran Xiwei were both a little puzzled. Yin Sichen then asked Gu Xixi where the masks were kept at home. Gu Xixi didn't know either. Ran Xiwei took out a mask and told Gu Xixi that Yin Sichen was allergic to pollen, so she was used to keeping a mask in her bag. After Ran Xiwei left, Yin Sichen said that Gu Xixi had given herself away.
Another woman confessed her love to him, but Gu Xixi's reaction was too bland. Gu Xixi quickly explained that it was because of her trust in him and her contempt for other women, but Yin Sichen said that Gu Xixi should at least be a little jealous. Gu Xixi then drew a pig's head on the mask, saying it was her exclusive mask, and that was how she got Yin Sichen off her back.
But Gu Xixi was actually a little jealous. She did ruin Ran Xiwei and Yin Sichen's relationship. If it wasn't for her, maybe they would have gotten married. With Mo Zixin's help, Gu Xixi finally revised the proposal and even added a special thank you to Mo Zixin at the end. But Yin Sichen had already written a proposal for Gu Xixi.
He originally wanted to give it to Gu Xixi, but he saw that Gu Xixi had especially thanked Mo Zixin at the end of her proposal. Yin Sichen was a little jealous. He deliberately said he wanted to see Gu Xixi's proposal, and threw Gu Xixi's iPad into the water while she was taking a bath, and gave his proposal to Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi suddenly remembered that the iPad had cloud backup, so she said that her store would still use her own proposal. Lin Xiaoya suddenly called and said that Mo Zixin knew about Gu Xixi's fake marriage. Gu Xixi rushed over to ask. Lin Xiaoya said that she had been drinking with Mo Zixin last night and accidentally told him about the agreement, but she couldn't remember if she had told Mo Zixin about the fake marriage.
Gu Xixi was anxious to find Mo Zixin to confirm. Mo Zixin said that Lin Xiaoya had told him about her agreement with Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi wanted to continue to ask, but Yin Sichen suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation, asking if they were very familiar with each other. Gu Xixi didn't dare to say that the agreement had been leaked, so she said that they had made an appointment to see a comic convention.
Yin Sichen then asked Mo Zixin if he should tell him before he made an appointment with Gu Xixi next time. Mo Zixin retorted that Gu Xixi was a free person and should have her own schedule.
Episode 10 Recap
Mo Zixin and Yin Sichen were at odds with each other, Yin Sichen then looked at Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi tactfully said that she was married and not a free person. Yin Sichen was very satisfied with Gu Xixi's answer. He also said that he would accompany Gu Xixi to see whatever comics she liked, and deliberately acted intimately with Gu Xixi in front of Mo Zixin.
But in fact, Mo Zixin already knew about the fake marriage from Lin Xiaoya. He didn't show it. He felt that since it was a marriage of convenience, there would definitely be an end to it one day, and he wouldn't miss Gu Xixi again. Yin Sichen was still thinking about how to teach Gu Xixi a lesson, but Chen Fei Ang brought Alex's invitation.
Alex was about to go to Milan for a period of seclusion to create, and he wanted to invite Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi to stay at his private estate. This invitation saved Gu Xixi. Chen Fei Ang reminded Yin Sichen that now was not the time to be upset with Gu Xixi, and also said that Yin Sichen had gradually become childish because of Gu Xixi recently. Shang Ke went to the restaurant for his appointment.
Mu Ruona got straight to the point and told Shang Ke that she would take responsibility for him. Shang Ke mentioned that he had overheard her conversation with her colleague Xiao Xin before. Mu Ruona explained that they were talking about refractive surgery, and Shang Ke was relieved. Then he asked Mu Ruona how she planned to take responsibility for him.
Mu Ruona took out a scoring system, saying that it would be too hasty to establish a romantic relationship directly between the two of them. They should start as intern lovers. If the score reaches eighty after six months, they will announce their relationship to the public. Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi about staying at Alex's estate and made a plan for Gu Xixi to learn various skills to deal with this trip to Milan.
Gu Xixi protested when she saw the full schedule planned by Yin Sichen, saying that it exceeded the eight-hour work system. Yin Sichen then said that she had breached the contract by meeting with Mo Zixin privately, and if she revealed flaws in front of Alex by not training according to the plan, she would have to pay liquidated damages. In order not to lose money, Gu Xixi could only agree to study.
On this day, while Yin Sichen was teaching Gu Xixi Italian, Ran Xiwei called Yin Sichen out to help her revise her proposal, and Gu Xixi was also invited out by Mo Zixin. Mo Zixin said that Gu Xixi's proposal had passed his company's review, and he could invest in Gu Xixi. As long as Gu Xixi could open the store, she would be free with her own career. Gu Xixi didn't understand for a moment.
Mo Zixin explained that he had learned that Gu Xixi had signed a prenuptial agreement with Yin Sichen, which made her economically embarrassed, and she couldn't get support for her brand. Gu Xixi just wanted to explain a few words for Yin Sichen, and coincidentally, Yin Sichen and Ran Xiwei were right next to them. Yin Sichen was a little angry when he saw Gu Xixi meeting with Mo Zixin again.
He asked Ran Xiwei to change into a formal dress and wait for him at the company, and he stepped forward to interrupt the conversation between Gu Xixi and Mo Zixin. Mo Zixin said that he already knew about the agreement between the two of them, and said that he wanted to help Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi quickly explained that it was not the agreement that Yin Sichen thought it was.
Yin Sichen refused Mo Zixin's kindness, and also said that his relationship with Gu Xixi was unbreakable, and pulled Gu Xixi away, saying that he would take her to class. Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi away and questioned Gu Xixi if she had long wanted to terminate the contract with him. Gu Xixi explained that Lin Xiaoya had let it slip, but she had already covered up the lie, and their marriage agreement was not exposed.
Yin Sichen then let Gu Xixi go, and also took her to the company, letting Ran Xiwei teach Gu Xixi some social etiquette. While practicing walking, Gu Xixi sprained her foot. She really couldn't practice anymore, so she said that she wouldn't practice anymore. Yin Sichen originally wanted to send Gu Xixi back, but Ran Xiwei said that she wanted Yin Sichen to help her look at the plan and kept Yin Sichen behind.
Since she couldn't learn etiquette, Yin Sichen forced Gu Xixi to learn Italian again. Gu Xixi drew a pig's head and asked Grandma Yin how to pronounce this word. Grandma Yin deliberately teased Gu Xixi and taught Gu Xixi the Italian for "I love you very much". When Yin Sichen came to check the results in the evening, Gu Xixi accidentally confessed her love to Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen was amused by Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi checked the words and realized that she had been teased by Grandma Yin. The next day, Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi to dance class. Gu Xixi was new to the practice, and her movements were very uncoordinated. Yin Sichen practiced with her. Gu Xixi accidentally almost fell, and Yin Sichen quickly supported her. Gu Xixi looked at Yin Sichen and was inexplicably a little moved.
Yin Sichen suddenly received a call to deal with something, so he asked Gu Xixi to continue practicing. Not long after, Mo Zixin invited Gu Xixi to watch the sunset glow. Gu Xixi went to the appointment after finishing her dance class. While they were talking about the sunset glow, Mo Zixin said that he really wanted to become that ray of light, meet a cloud, and illuminate her into a glow.
Gu Xixi listened thoughtfully and said that he would definitely meet it. After returning home, Yin Sichen said that Ran Xiwei had invited Gu Xixi to the studio for an interview. Gu Xixi didn't want to go at first, but when she thought that Ran Xiwei's studio was a fashion studio, she could take the opportunity to promote her brand and expand her network. To express her gratitude, Gu Xixi planned to make a set of dresses for Yin Sichen.
Episode 11 Recap
When Gu Xixi measured Yin Sichen's waist, the two were very close. Yin Sichen also secretly looked at Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was very shy. In the evening, the two went together to attend Ran Xiwei's studio opening banquet. As soon as they arrived, Ran Xiwei pulled Yin Sichen away for socializing. Not long after, Mu Ruona and Shang Ke also arrived. Mu Ruona didn't like socializing.
Seeing that Gu Xixi was also alone, she went up and chatted with her. While they were drinking, Mu Ruona accidentally spilled wine on her clothes. Mu Ruona originally wanted to leave because her clothes were dirty, but Gu Xixi re-decorated Mu Ruona's clothes with her silk scarf. Mu Ruona kept praising Gu Xixi's clever hands. At the banquet, Ran Xiwei thanked Yin Sichen for his help and asked him to go on stage to say a few words.
After Yin Sichen congratulated Ran Xiwei's studio on its opening, he also started promoting Gu Xixi, saying that his evening gown tonight was made by Gu Xixi, and Gu Xixi's upcoming personal brand, Xixi, would also be launched soon, hoping everyone would support it. Ran Xiwei also invited Gu Xixi to go on stage and speak a few words. Gu Xixi remained calm in a crisis, went on stage, and spoke about her design philosophy without any mishaps.
The day after attending the banquet, Yin Sichen, Gu Xixi, and Chen Fei Ang went to Milan as invited. Upon arriving in Milan, Yin Sichen instructed Gu Xixi to definitely play the role of Mrs. Yin well.
Gu Xixi originally wanted to see a show, but Yin Sichen said it wasn't possible tonight; they had to have dinner with Alex, and also said that these days Gu Xixi must report to him whenever she goes out, stating her whereabouts, who she met, what she said, and there would be a curfew at eight o'clock in the evening.
Because they had an appointment with Alex at six o'clock in the evening, Gu Xixi left a note for Yin Sichen, saying she was going out and would be back before five o'clock. Unexpectedly, Alex temporarily changed the appointment time to four o'clock. Yin Sichen quickly called Gu Xixi, but Gu Xixi's phone had also run out of battery. Yin Sichen asked Chen Fei Ang to stall Alex while he went to look for Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi got lost in the forest. Fortunately, Yin Sichen found Gu Xixi, but his hand was injured because he was looking for Gu Xixi. Yin Sichen felt relieved after finding Gu Xixi. Only then did he realize how panicked he would be when he couldn't find Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was originally very scared after getting lost in the forest, and she felt a bit wronged when she saw Yin Sichen arrive.
Yin Sichen didn't have time to say more, so he took Gu Xixi to see Alex. Although Yin Sichen was very worried about Gu Xixi, he still stubbornly refused to admit his worry in front of Chen Fei Ang, only saying that he needed to ensure Gu Xixi's safety during the contract period.
After returning in the evening, even though Chen Fei Ang had already bandaged Yin Sichen's wound, he still called Gu Xixi to his room to bandage his wound for him. Gu Xixi didn't get to see the fashion show today, so Yin Sichen said he would take her to see a similar one tomorrow. Gu Xixi said there was no need, it would be enough if Yin Sichen didn't make trouble for her.
As she spoke, Gu Xixi got tired and fell asleep. Yin Sichen looked at Gu Xixi, who was still mumbling after falling asleep, and felt she was very cute. While Gu Xixi was asleep, Yin Sichen finally dared to express his feelings and quietly confessed his love to Gu Xixi. The next morning, the two went to meet Alex for their appointment. Gu Xixi threw a coin into the wishing fountain and made a wish.
After throwing it, she realized she had thrown the commemorative coin her father had given her when she was a child. However, there were too many coins in the fountain, and it was estimated that she wouldn't be able to find it, so she had to give up. Alex took the two out for a day of fun. After returning to the studio, Alex's assistant said nervously that the design drawing Alex had approved last time couldn't be found.
Gu Xixi had accidentally seen that design drawing during her previous visit, so she said she could draw it from memory. While drawing the picture, Gu Xixi also added her own design. Alex praised her greatly, saying that she had solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time. During dinner, Yin Sichen went to the restroom. Gu Xixi couldn't help but subtly indicate to Alex that she and Yin Sichen had concealed something from him.
However, Alex said that there was no absolute honesty between people, and sometimes well-intentioned lies might not necessarily lead to unexpected consequences. After dinner, Yin Sichen asked what Gu Xixi had said to Alex. Gu Xixi then talked about her dilemma. Yin Sichen said that although he would use others' preferences to achieve his own interests, he would never harm others' interests. If this matter bothered Gu Xixi greatly, he would find an opportunity to confess to Alex.
There was also a simpler and more direct method, which was to turn their fake relationship into a real one. For Gu Xixi, Yin Sichen used his personal account to postpone the fashion show Gu Xixi wanted to see yesterday by one day, and also let Gu Xixi go out and have fun.
Chen Fei Ang asked Yin Sichen if he had fallen in love with Gu Xixi and also asked him if he wanted him to hold a confession ceremony for him. Yin Sichen, however, said that he was already in love with Gu Xixi. And since Gu Xixi hoped that a relationship would be built on sincerity, he would go back and terminate the contract with Gu Xixi so that she could accept his feelings as a free person.
Yin Sichen then went to see Alex again to discuss the matter of acquiring Zhong Ai. Alex stated that he had invited them this time precisely for this matter and proposed that Gu Xixi manage Zhong Ai.
Episode 12 Recap
Mo Zixin and Yu Nong went to Gu Xixi's mother's laundry shop, but found that her mother's shop had suddenly closed down. The two went into the shop to inquire. Gu Xixi's mother said the dryer in the shop was broken, and the shop was short of funds and couldn't afford new equipment, so she could only temporarily close down.
Mo Zixin then said he was in e-commerce and hoped to place some new brand dryers in Gu Xixi's mother's shop as a pilot program. Gu Xixi's mother was very grateful for Mo Zixin's help. After Yin Sichen returned, he told Chen Fei Ang about Alex's request. Chen Fei Ang originally wanted to use a legal contract to restrict Gu Xixi, but Yin Sichen no longer wanted to deceive Gu Xixi.
Moreover, if Gu Xixi took the agency rights for Zhong Ai, she would not be able to run her own brand. Yin Sichen decided to discuss this matter further in the long term. Not long after Chen Fei Ang left, Gu Xixi also returned. She still remembered that it was Yin Sichen's birthday today, and specifically brought back a cake to celebrate, and also sang a birthday song for Yin Sichen.
Gu Xixi watched Yin Sichen eating the cake and casually asked if the cake tasted good. Unexpectedly, Yin Sichen pulled Gu Xixi over and kissed her. Gu Xixi was a little flustered and quickly fled in a hurry. The next day, the two returned to the country. Gu Xixi first went to find Lin Xiaoya.
Lin Xiaoya looked at the photo of Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen on Gu Xixi's phone and asked if she and Yin Sichen had something going on. Gu Xixi quickly changed the subject and asked about the progress of the garment pattern making. Lin Xiaoya was interrupted and talked about the progress of the clothing store, saying that pattern making was just the first step and there was a long way to go.
Yin Sichen also reminded her that opening a physical store was very difficult. Gu Xixi said that no matter how difficult it was, she would complete it, as it was her lifelong dream. When Shang Ke and Mu Ruona were on a date, Mu Ruona said it was time to talk about exes, and added that she would definitely not be jealous. Shang Ke then spoke with confidence, talking from fifth grade of primary school until now.
The more Mu Ruona listened, the angrier she became. Shang Ke keenly sensed Mu Ruona's killing intent and quickly asked about her dating history in return. Mu Ruona replied that Shang Ke had met her first love, Fang Ming, and after Fang Ming, it was Shang Ke. Mu Ruona was so angry that she deducted twenty points from Shang Ke. Gu Xixi went home and gave the gift she bought to her mother.
Her mother mentioned Mo Zixin coming to help a few days ago and also gave Gu Xixi a bag of hometown snacks to pass on to Mo Zixin. After returning, Gu Xixi gave the snacks to Mo Zixin. Mo Zixin originally wanted to invite Gu Xixi to eat together. Just then, Yin Sichen returned, and with a displeased expression, he asked what the two were doing. Mo Zixin explained, and Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi to go home.
After returning home, Yin Sichen asked Gu Xixi what Qingtuan was and asked Gu Xixi to make some for him to eat. Gu Xixi made a plate of Qingtuan. Yin Sichen took a bite and didn't like it, but he said that since someone had eaten something made by his mother-in-law, he had to eat what Gu Xixi made. Yin Sichen had not yet told Gu Xixi about Alex's request, but Alex was coming next Wednesday to discuss cooperation.
Chen Fei Ang said it would be best to grant one of Gu Xixi's wishes first, which would make it easier to ask for her help. Yin Sichen then remembered the cartoonist named Nian Xi and wanted to arrange a meal for Nian Xi and Gu Xixi to fulfill Gu Xixi's wish. He asked Chen Fei Ang to contact Nian Xi and invite him out for dinner. After Mo Zixin learned about this, he agreed to the meeting.
Mo Zixin revealed his identity to Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen also guessed Mo Zixin's feelings for Gu Xixi from his pen name. Mo Zixin knew that Yin Sichen suddenly wanting to fulfill Gu Xixi's wish meant he needed something from Gu Xixi. He warned Yin Sichen not to hurt Gu Xixi.
After returning, Yin Sichen heard Gu Xixi talking about her excitement about the upcoming store opening while on the phone with Lin Xiaoya, so he decided to go back to the company for a meeting, hoping to impress Alex in a different way. As a result, Gu Xixi accidentally saw the contract Alex sent to Yin Sichen and learned that Alex wanted her to be the person in charge.
Gu Xixi didn't know if Yin Sichen would force her and wanted to ask him clearly. However, Yin Sichen had already decided to use a compromise approach to let Gu Xixi participate in the Zhong Ai brand cooperation. If Alex did not accept it, he would give up the cooperation with Alex because compared to Alex's brand, he already had something he wanted more.
After returning home, Yin Sichen hoped Gu Xixi could postpone the store opening, saying that now was not a good time to open a store and there were some issues with the location she chose and the foundries. Gu Xixi, however, misunderstood that Yin Sichen wanted to give up her dream for the sake of acquiring Zhong Ai. Seeing that Gu Xixi knew about this, Yin Sichen said he needed some time to handle this matter.
Yin Sichen did not express his intentions clearly, and Gu Xixi also preemptively thought that Yin Sichen wanted to sacrifice her dream. She said she would definitely protect her store. As a result, the next day Gu Xixi learned that her renovated store had been acquired by Wanmao. She thought Yin Sichen had done this. After Mo Zixin learned about it, he helped her find a new store.
Ran Xiwei's subordinate learned from Alex's assistant that Alex had personally appointed Gu Xixi as the chief designer. Knowing that Gu Xixi had also created her own brand, Ran Xiwei deliberately contacted the media and exposed these two pieces of news. Instantly, the news that Gu Xixi rejected Alex caused heated discussion among the public. Yin Sichen thought that Gu Xixi had done this to protect her store, so he went home to question her.
Gu Xixi stated that she was not aware of it and also accused Yin Sichen of acquiring her original store, causing her to move to a new address. The two were full of misunderstandings.
Episode 13 Recap
Despite Gu Xixi saying she wasn't the one who leaked the matter to the media, Yin Sichen still didn't believe her. After scolding Gu Xixi, he returned to the company for a meeting. Alex also learned about Gu Xixi's rejection online. He called Yin Sichen and said that even if she rejected, she should have told him in person instead of letting him see the news online. The angry Alex canceled the plan to meet Yin Sichen next Wednesday.
Yin Sichen decided to persuade Gu Xixi to go and apologize to Alex together. Gu Xixi called Lin Xiaoya at home, wanting to know if Lin Xiaoya had leaked the news. Lin Xiaoya was worried that someone might have overheard her speaking loudly on the phone with Gu Xixi at the restaurant previously. Gu Xixi thought that if the news was indeed leaked from her side, she was truly in the wrong.
She went to the bedroom to wait for Yin Sichen to return and accidentally opened the voice recorder, hearing Yin Sichen say that he wanted to fulfill her wish. Soon after, she heard Yin Sichen making a phone call outside. When Yin Sichen called Chen Fei Ang, he said it was easy to persuade Gu Xixi, just like before, by setting a trap to make her comply. Gu Xixi was heartbroken when she heard this and left.
Little did she know, Yin Sichen then said he wouldn't do that anymore, and this time he would use sincerity to move Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi, who only heard half of the conversation, misunderstood Yin Sichen. Chen Fei Ang, on the other hand, said he found the person who leaked the news to the media, and a simple investigation revealed that the person was very close to Ran Xiwei.
After returning to the room, Yin Sichen opened the voice recorder and heard the apology message Gu Xixi had recorded. Gu Xixi also said she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with Yin Sichen again and that she was willing to accompany Yin Sichen to find Alex to apologize and clarify. Yin Sichen then arranged to have lunch with Gu Xixi the next day at noon. The next morning, Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya's Xixi store opened.
When they were busy until noon, Chen Fei Ang came to pick up Gu Xixi to go find Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi went to the appointment with a displeased expression. She accepted the gift prepared by Yin Sichen, but didn't listen to Yin Sichen's explanation, accusing him of not having changed at all. She also stated that she was willing to temporarily close the Xixi store and go with Yin Sichen to apologize to Alex.
Yin Sichen wanted Gu Xixi to open the gift and see, but Gu Xixi said she couldn't afford to lose it, and turned her head to leave. Yin Sichen wanted to chase her, but Chen Fei Ang came at this moment to report that Alex had arrived. Yin Sichen had to go find Alex first and took Alex to the Xixi store, explaining Gu Xixi's reason for rejecting Alex and proposing his alternative plan.
But in the end, Alex still rejected Yin Sichen. After Yin Sichen returned to the company, he didn't blame the employees for being incompetent as before, but instead took responsibility for the matter. He said if anyone wanted to leave the company, he could write a recommendation letter. The employees all felt that Yin Sichen was more humane than before and were willing to stay and continue to work hard.
Yin Sichen also spoke about the plan he had prepared earlier. After Gu Xixi returned home, she saw the gift Yin Sichen had prepared on the table. She was still curious and opened it to take a look, only to find that it was the coin she had misplaced in Milan before, and also a small note inviting Gu Xixi to ride the Ferris wheel together. Only then did Gu Xixi realize that she had misunderstood Yin Sichen.
She went to find Alex to apologize and said that Yin Sichen had made a lot of effort to acquire Zhong Ai, and if possible, she was willing to work for Zhong Ai. Alex was persuaded by Gu Xixi, but he was not someone who would force others. He knew that Gu Xixi's future was just beginning and that Yin Sichen respected Gu Xixi's dream. Ultimately, he was convinced by Gu Xixi and agreed to Yin Sichen's proposal.
The next day, after Yin Sichen learned that Gu Xixi had persuaded Alex, he was also very grateful for Gu Xixi's help. Gu Xixi was painting in the garden and asked Yin Sichen to sit beside her. She secretly watched Yin Sichen, and her hand couldn't help but draw a portrait of Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya originally signed a batch of models to shoot a set of photos, but the models were secretly poached by Ran Xiwei.
The two had rented the studio and photographer for a day and were worrying about where to find models when Mo Zixin happened to come to visit. The two asked Mo Zixin to temporarily fill in. Soon after, Yin Sichen also came to visit. Seeing that Mo Zixin was also there, he immediately became extremely jealous and said he could also be a model.
During the shoot, Yin Sichen kept looking at Mo Zixin with a killing intent on his face, and even accidentally spilled cola on a shirt made by Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was distressed and asked Yin Sichen to compensate her. Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen returned home after a busy day. Yin Sichen took out a thick red envelope and asked Gu Xixi whose performance was better, his or Mo Zixin's.
Gu Xixi said his expression was too bad and he should be deducted one point, but seeing that Yin Sichen compensated her, she would add one point for him. Yin Sichen was still not satisfied and leaned closer to Gu Xixi to deliberately scare her. Gu Xixi was a little shy being suppressed by Yin Sichen. Just then, Song Ma brought a glass of milk, saying it was prepared by Yin Sichen.
Gu Xixi then said she would add one more point for Yin Sichen, making him first. Yin Sichen even deliberately asked Gu Xixi if he should teach her how to be a qualified Mrs. Yin. Gu Xixi fled in panic.
Episode 14 Recap
The next day, to get her revenge, Gu Xixi deliberately asked Grandma Yin what Yin Sichen liked and disliked eating. She specially made a portion of yam, which Yin Sichen disliked, and brought it to the company. She even personally fed it to Yin Sichen in front of other colleagues. Yin Sichen, for the sake of his image, had to endure it. Gu Xixi, seeing that she had gotten back at Yin Sichen, left.
Yin Sichen found a note on another box. It turned out that Gu Xixi had also prepared an improved yam dish for Yin Sichen. After trying it, Yin Sichen found it very delicious. After returning home in the evening, Yin Sichen retaliated by asking Gu Xixi to bring him food to the company every day so that the employees could see their happiness and fulfillment. Gu Xixi had no choice but to agree.
The next day when Gu Xixi went to deliver the food, she deliberately pulled Yin Sichen to eat in the employee cafeteria. She acted spoiled and coquettish with Yin Sichen throughout, causing Yin Sichen to lose his usual aloof and cold demeanor in front of the employees. Yin Sichen was not to be outdone and kissed Gu Xixi in public.
Gu Xixi didn't expect to get herself caught up in this and, no longer in the mood to cause trouble, quickly left. In the evening, Gu Xixi was calculating her store's turnover and profits. Yin Sichen glanced at it and said that Gu Xixi's profits were too low. He gave her some pointers, telling her to learn how to guide customers.
Gu Xixi was deeply inspired and organized a lottery event in the store, with prizes such as accessories that matched the clothes. This way, customers would unknowingly trust Gu Xixi's taste and style, thereby attracting customers in the long term. Shang Ke had his points deducted by twenty by Mu Ruona last time, so he wanted to make amends to Mu Ruona and increase his score. He bought a lot of food to make a midnight snack for Mu Ruona.
Mu Ruona was very pleased and added points for Shang Ke. Their relationship was very sweet. Ran Xiwei called Shang Ke, hoping he could help her meet Yin Sichen to clear up the misunderstanding between them. When Shang Ke asked Yin Sichen, Yin Sichen said he was going to a masquerade ball that Gu Xixi had organized tonight and didn't have time.
Shang Ke pestered him, saying that Yin Sichen valued women over friends and that he must go, and he would help him invite more people so that the ball would be lively. Shang Ke also took on the task of preparing the costumes. Shang Ke took out two photos and asked his assistant, Xiao Xin, to prepare dark-colored clothes for Gu Xixi and light-colored clothes for Ran Xiwei.
However, Xiao Xin got the wrong person, causing them to wear the wrong clothes. He also mistakenly led Ran Xiwei to the rooftop, thinking she was Gu Xixi, to wait for Yin Sichen. Shang Ke told Yin Sichen that Ran Xiwei was wearing light-colored clothes, telling him to remember. Before long, Gu Xixi arrived wearing light-colored clothes. Yin Sichen mistook her for Ran Xiwei and asked her to come with him.
On the other side, Ran Xiwei was trapped due to an elevator malfunction. Yin Sichen, mistaking Gu Xixi for Ran Xiwei, said that their feelings for each other might just be a misunderstanding, not love. Perhaps Ran Xiwei's liking was also an illusion. He never thought that he and Ran Xiwei could become lovers, and he told Ran Xiwei to keep her distance from him in the future. He also said that he had someone he liked.
Gu Xixi mistakenly took these words as Yin Sichen saying them to her. She left silently and sadly and sent a message to Yin Sichen saying that she understood and would stay at Lin Xiaoya's house tonight. Yin Sichen, after receiving the message, didn't know what had happened. After Gu Xixi left, Yin Sichen was no longer in the mood to stay at the ball.
Ran Xiwei was also rescued by Shang Ke, but she was still very disappointed that she couldn't see Yin Sichen. The next day, Ran Xiwei specially went to Xixi's store to find Gu Xixi and said that she wanted to do an exclusive interview with Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi agreed. Gu Xixi's coldness towards Yin Sichen made him feel that something was wrong.
At this time, Shang Ke called him and said that the person Yin Sichen saw last night was Gu Xixi. Only then did Yin Sichen realize the reason and quickly called Gu Xixi. But at this time, Gu Xixi was overwhelmed with problems with the fabric and didn't answer the phone. When she rushed to the scene, Mo Zixin had already heard the situation from Lin Xiaoya and was helping to deal with it.
Gu Xixi quickly stepped forward to help. After the two finished dealing with it, Yin Sichen arrived worriedly. He worriedly asked about Gu Xixi's condition, but Gu Xixi was very indifferent. Yin Sichen wanted to explain what happened last night, but Gu Xixi said that she was really busy and asked Yin Sichen to give her some personal space. Yin Sichen could only watch Gu Xixi and Mo Zixin leave.
Mo Zixin took Gu Xixi to dinner and asked what was wrong between Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi was already in a bad mood and drank one glass of wine after another, telling Mo Zixin her troubles. Gu Xixi quickly got drunk. When Mo Zixin was carrying Gu Xixi back, Gu Xixi suddenly said, "I like you."
Episode 15 Recap
Mo Zixin felt a pang of sadness when he heard Gu Xixi, who was on his back, confessing to Yin Sichen, but taking advantage of Gu Xixi's drunkenness, he still expressed his affection for Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi knew nothing about this. The next day, after waking up, Gu Xixi's store's Weibo account was suddenly attacked. It turned out that the exclusive interview Ran Xiwei had previously done for her had caused problems.
Although Ran Xiwei praised Gu Xixi's designs, she deliberately elevated Gu Xixi, which caused public resentment. She also intentionally emphasized that Gu Xixi had rejected Alex, and said that Gu Xixi's design inspiration was influenced by Alex, implying that Gu Xixi plagiarized Alex. This article pushed Gu Xixi into the eye of the storm.
Gu Xixi also recalled that when she accepted Ran Xiwei's interview, she had explained that although she was influenced by Alex, she still used her own concepts when designing, but this article did not explain that. Although Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya were somewhat suspicious of Ran Xiwei, the top priority for both of them was to resolve this matter. Gu Xixi wanted to respond to the netizens' questions on Weibo.
Yin Sichen found Gu Xixi, intending to explain what happened at the masquerade ball that day, but Gu Xixi was troubled by the public opinion and did not want to listen to Yin Sichen's explanation. Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi to calm down first, saying that even if Gu Xixi explained everything one by one, netizens would not believe it. Now, she should wait until the matter cooled down before releasing a simple report to explain it.
Gu Xixi, however, felt that Yin Sichen was not concerned about her store, which was why he was so indifferent and calm. Gu Xixi insisted on replying and even angered Yin Sichen away. Gu Xixi stayed behind alone to continue replying to the doubts, but after trying for a long time, she realized, just as Yin Sichen had said, that her replies now would only provoke netizens' resistance.
Just as Gu Xixi was about to give up, she discovered a netizen named "Renjianbingmeishi" had helped her retort many people. She sent a private message to express her gratitude, but she did not know that this Renjianbingmeishi was Yin Sichen. Although Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi to calm down, he couldn't help but defend Gu Xixi himself.
In the morning, Yin Sichen went to find Gu Xixi again, but seeing Mo Zixin was also at the store, Yin Sichen became instantly annoyed. In order to get involved in Gu Xixi's affairs, Yin Sichen even said he wanted to buy shares in Xixi's store. Gu Xixi refused to agree, and Yin Sichen left feeling indignant. Although Yin Sichen was angry, he also knew that the source of the problem was Ran Xiwei.
He went to Ran Xiwei's studio and warned her. Ran Xiwei initially pretended to be innocent, but Yin Sichen was unmoved. Ran Xiwei was greatly provoked. In the evening, she asked Shang Ke out for a drink. Seeing Ran Xiwei like this, Shang Ke called Yin Sichen over to persuade her. However, Yin Sichen stated directly that he only considered Ran Xiwei an indispensable friend, their relationship was merely friendship, and he had already fallen in love with Gu Xixi.
After saying this, Yin Sichen left. He was rushing home to see Gu Xixi, but when he got home, Gu Xixi was already asleep. Gu Xixi wrote a statement, but still decided to follow Yin Sichen's advice and wait a few days for netizens' emotions to calm down before explaining. Then she saw that Renjianbingmeishi had again helped her retort many people.
She felt that Yin Sichen had told her to calm down before, and she had been arguing against ten people online, so what was Yin Sichen doing now? She told Yin Sichen not to meddle in her affairs anymore and even blocked him. When Mu Ruona met Shang Ke at the company, Shang Ke happened to receive a call from his mother.
Shang Ke's mother intended to arrange a blind date for her son, but Shang Ke told his mother in front of Mu Ruona that he already had a girlfriend. This, however, angered Mu Ruona. Mu Ruona did not want this matter to become widely known and was very angry at Shang Ke's actions.
Mo Zixin originally wanted to use his company's public relations team to help Gu Xixi reverse the public opinion, but Gu Xixi believed that gaining recognition through strength was the most effective way. She got inspiration while shopping with Grandma Yin and decided to hold a 'plain person makeover' event. This way, she could both showcase her strength and build reputation. But Ran Xiwei obstructed things behind the scenes, preventing major public accounts from taking on Xixi's promotions.
After Yin Sichen learned about this, he specifically advertised for Gu Xixi during a television interview, bringing a lot of traffic to Gu Xixi. Yin Sichen also verified his Weibo account. Now everyone knew that the person who spoke up for Gu Xixi was Yin Sichen. Gu Xixi unblocked Yin Sichen and only then saw that Yin Sichen had explained what happened at the masquerade ball last time and hoped there would be no so-called boundaries between them.
Gu Xixi's mood was like riding a rollercoaster. Just then, Yin Sichen suddenly appeared. Gu Xixi excitedly hugged him. The two cleared up the misunderstanding, and Yin Sichen asked her out for dinner that evening, but Gu Xixi suddenly cancelled the date due to an urgent matter. Yin Sichen was getting angry after receiving Gu Xixi's message cancelling the date when Ran Xiwei suddenly came to his office, wanting to reminisce about the good old days with Yin Sichen.
At this moment, Yin Sichen received a message from Lin Xiaoya, learning that something had happened to Gu Xixi's family. It turned out that Gu Xixi's father had cheated on his wife and even gave Gu Xixi's card to the mistress to use. Gu Xixi went to confront the mistress. Soon after, Yin Sichen also came to help Gu Xixi confront the mistress angrily, and left Chen Fei Ang to handle the follow-up matters.
He then accompanied Gu Xixi to send Gu Xixi's mother back to their old home in Meishan. It was very late after they got home, so the two of them stayed at the old house.
Episode 16 Recap
Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen took care of Gu Mama at her old home, and also met Mo Zixin there. Yin Sichen was instantly annoyed seeing Mo Zixin everywhere. He pulled Gu Xixi over to declare his sovereignty, telling Mo Zixin not to waste his efforts on Gu Xixi. However, when Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi spent time together at the old house, they were more relaxed and natural.
The two were like a real couple, going to the supermarket together, and having a lively meal together like a family. This was something she had never experienced before, and Gu Xixi also said that if Yin Sichen hadn't been there these past two days, she wouldn't have known what to do. On the other side, Ran Xiwei found the mistress Xu Qian and Gu Papa, saying that she wanted to interview Gu Papa.
She also specifically said she could pay Gu Papa an interview fee, the amount of which would depend on what kind of information Gu Papa could provide. Ran Xiwei left her business card with Gu Papa. Gu Papa didn't agree immediately, and pulled Xu Qian away. About Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen's sweet moments, Mo Zixin revisited the old place, looking at the graffiti he and Gu Xixi drew on the wall when they were children.
The two had agreed to write their troubles on the wall, to face them together and share the burden. Mo Zixin still remembered their promise and decided that no matter what happened, he would help Gu Xixi, even if Gu Xixi loved Yin Sichen. Mo Zixin went to Gu Xixi's house again, and even deliberately stayed for dinner. Mo Zixin and Yin Sichen were vying for affection at the dinner table.
Gu Xixi joked that the two of them had a great rapport. Gu Xixi also took Yin Sichen to see the message wall from when they were children, and said that she had drawn a dandelion in the corner when she left. After Yin Sichen learned that the other graffiti was drawn by Mo Zixin, he picked up a pen and circled the dandelion, also writing 'No Trespassers'. Yin Sichen's jealous look made Gu Xixi laugh out loud.
Shang Ke and Mu Ruona's feelings were growing, so Shang Ke proposed that they live together. But Mu Ruona was worried that living together would lead to arguments and breaking up due to different living habits, so she suggested they take some tests to see if they had compatibility in living habits. However, Shang Ke's answers were vastly different from Mu Ruona's, so Mu Ruona said they weren't ready to live together and rejected Shang Ke's proposal.
Before Yin Sichen went to work, he told Gu Xixi to stay at home, saying that he would take her somewhere that evening. In the evening, Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi to an amusement park, and gave the coin to Gu Xixi, saying she could choose to keep it for collection, or she could put it into the token machine, ride the Ferris wheel, and start a new life with him. Gu Xixi put the coin into the token machine.
On the Ferris wheel, Yin Sichen confessed his love to Gu Xixi, but Gu Xixi said she didn't want to give Yin Sichen an answer right away, and Yin Sichen didn't ask Gu Xixi to answer immediately. Three days later, Gu Xixi's birthday was approaching. When Gu Mama was tidying up at the old house, Mo Zixin happened to come and help, and accidentally found the drawing book he had given to Gu Xixi back then.
Gu Mama said she had heard Gu Xixi mention that this drawing book was a gift from someone very important to her. Mo Zixin was a little excited when he heard this, so he took the drawing book back to find Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was a little emotional when she saw the drawing book, saying that she had always insisted on drawing and designing because of Mo Zixin's encouragement back then.
Mo Zixin also couldn't help but confess his love to Gu Xixi, and said that he was Nian Xi, and Nian Xi's story was what he wanted to say to Gu Xixi. Without waiting for Gu Xixi's response, Mo Zixin also left a card, saying he would wait for her on Gu Xixi's birthday. But before that, Gu Xixi had also received an invitation from Yin Sichen.
Gu Xixi told Lin Xiaoya about this, and Lin Xiaoya helped her analyze it. Gu Xixi finally confirmed her feelings. Although Yin Sichen had many flaws, she still couldn't help but be moved by him. On Gu Xixi's birthday, both Yin Sichen and Mo Zixin had prepared elaborate dinners, but Gu Xixi went to Mo Zixin, while Yin Sichen unexpectedly waited for Ran Xiwei.
Episode 17 Recap
Yin Sichen was surprised to see Ran Xiwei. Ran Xiwei said she had something she wanted to say to him. She said everything she had done was because she loved Yin Sichen too much. It was Gu Xixi's appearance that ruined her relationship with Yin Sichen and ruined her life. But Yin Sichen said that they had only conformed to other people's misunderstandings before. He had never liked Ran Xiwei, only Gu Xixi.
Ran Xiwei refused to give up, saying that Yin Sichen didn't understand what kind of person Gu Xixi was. Yin Sichen interrupted her and said that he didn't need Ran Xiwei to tell him what kind of person Gu Xixi was. On the other side, Gu Xixi also found Mo Zixin and rejected Mo Zixin's confession. She said that she was very grateful for Mo Zixin's help, but she couldn't deceive her heart.
She had already fallen in love with Yin Sichen. Mo Zixin could only ask to remain friends with Gu Xixi in the future. Gu Xixi agreed, and after a hurried farewell, she rushed to find Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen drove Ran Xiwei away and continued to wait for Gu Xixi, but Gu Xixi was stuck in traffic on the way. By the time she arrived at the restaurant Yin Sichen had booked, it was already closed.
The waiter told her that Yin Sichen had already left. Gu Xixi was feeling lost when the lights next to her suddenly turned on. Gu Xixi looked over and saw Yin Sichen standing in the light. Gu Xixi couldn't restrain her emotions and ran over to throw herself into Yin Sichen's arms and kiss him. Although the restaurant was closed, Yin Sichen had left a cake and a surprise.
Gu Xixi was very touched, accepted Yin Sichen's confession, and also expressed her feelings to Yin Sichen. Shang Ke was being sweet and loving with Mu Ruona in the company, completely unaware that his mother was watching from behind. He even asked Mu Ruona for a kiss. After Mu Ruona went to the meeting, Shang Ke was still complacent that he had his beautiful wife by his side while he worked.
He turned his head and saw Shang's mother watching him outside the door. Shang Ke was immediately embarrassed. When Ran Xiwei went to Gu Xixi's shop to find Gu Xixi, she happened to see Yin Sichen there as well. Ran Xiwei deliberately pretended to be innocent and apologized to Gu Xixi for the last interview.
Seeing that the matter was over, Gu Xixi didn't want to have too much entanglement with Ran Xiwei, so she told Ran Xiwei not to do it again. Yin Sichen stood aside without saying a word, just deliberately holding Gu Xixi's hand and looking at Gu Xixi, not even giving Ran Xiwei a glance. Ran Xiwei felt awkward and had to leave.
After Ran Xiwei left, Yin Sichen originally wanted to stay in the Xixi shop with Gu Xixi, but Gu Xixi didn't want Yin Sichen to skip work for her sake, so she let him go to the company. After Yin Sichen finished his official business, he thought about going on a date with Gu Xixi. He had no experience in love before, so he went to Shang Ke to learn from his experience.
Shang Ke gave him a love bible he had written. Yin Sichen followed suit, telling Gu Xixi cheesy love words and watching horror movies with her. As a result, Gu Xixi was not scared, but Yin Sichen himself was terrified. In the end, he directly hugged Gu Xixi and refused to let go, but he still had to put on a brave face and stubbornly said it wasn't scary.
Before going to bed at night, Gu Xixi even comforted Yin Sichen with kisses. Their love grew stronger, and the contract couple finally became real lovers. The next morning, Gu Xixi asked Yin Sichen what they were going to do today. Yin Sichen had already made arrangements. He was going to spend the whole day dating Gu Xixi. As a result, after playing for a day, Gu Xixi accidentally caught a cold and had a fever.
Grandma Yin and Yin Sichen were very worried. Yin Sichen called a doctor to see Gu Xixi and forbade Gu Xixi to go to the store, telling her to rest at home. Mo Zixin didn't see Gu Xixi when he went to the store today, so he called Gu Xixi to ask what was wrong. When he learned that Gu Xixi was sick, he even wanted to visit her.
Yin Sichen, who was on the side, heard this, took the phone and said that Gu Xixi needed to rest, and then hung up the phone. Yin Sichen brought a bowl of medicine to Gu Xixi, but Gu Xixi thought the medicine was too bitter and didn't want to drink it. She also said she wanted to drink milk tea.
Yin Sichen said that milk tea was not healthy enough, and he took a sip of the medicine himself and fed it to Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was worried that Yin Sichen would be infected by her, so she drank the medicine herself. Gu Xixi felt much better the next day. Yin Sichen even personally cooked healthy milk tea for Gu Xixi. Who knew that Mo Zixin would suddenly come?
He learned from Lin Xiaoya that Gu Xixi liked to drink milk tea when she was sick, so he brought a cup over. Yin Sichen saw that Mo Zixin had reinforcements, and was angry for a moment. He told Gu Xixi to choose one of the two cups of milk tea. Before Gu Xixi could choose, Yin Sichen took the milk tea that Mo Zixin brought and drank it all in one gulp.
Mo Zixin was not to be outdone and drank the cup of milk tea that Yin Sichen made. In the evening, Gu Xixi went to the store. Lin Xiaoya told her that the store's turnover had not been optimistic recently, and other stores were doing marketing, but their store's publicity was not strong enough. Gu Xixi decided to call the shareholders to a meeting. The shareholder was naturally Mo Zixin.
After Mo Zixin arrived, he said that he could directly help Gu Xixi with promotion without spending money, but Gu Xixi felt that publicity should be done step by step. While they were discussing, the light bulb in the store suddenly broke. Gu Xixi and Lin Xiaoya went to check the circuit. Mo Zixin changed the light bulb in the store.
When Yin Sichen came halfway through the change, when Mo Zixin came down, Yin Sichen reached out to help him. It happened to be seen by Lin Xiaoya and Gu Xixi who came back. Seeing that the two rivals were holding hands, they were both a little surprised. Yin Sichen and Mo Zixin also quickly let go of their hands.
Episode 18 Recap
Yin Sichen said he came to pick Gu Xixi up to go home. Gu Xixi said they were just discussing marketing strategies and asked Yin Sichen to listen in. Mo Zixin proposed holding a 'CEO Shop Assistant' event, using their own fame to promote the Xixi store. He said the publicity effect should be the same as hiring a celebrity endorsement.
Yin Sichen, however, said there was no need for trouble, and that he had come this time to acquire equity in the Xixi store. Mo Zixin, however, did not want to sell the shares he held. Yin Sichen once again declared his ownership, and neither of them backed down. Gu Xixi told Yin Sichen not to throw money around casually. She also said that Mo Zixin's suggestion was good. Yin Sichen was about to get angry.
Gu Xixi said that since they were doing a 'CEO Shop Assistant' event, one assistant was a bit few, and asked Yin Sichen to join in as well. Yin Sichen agreed. As soon as the 'CEO Shop Assistant' event was announced, it attracted many female customers. Mo Zixin was approachable and very popular, while Yin Sichen had a bad face and a sharp tongue. Although some people liked him, his sales were still not as good as Mo Zixin's.
Yin Sichen refused to show weakness and decided he must win against Mo Zixin. During the 'CEO Shop Assistant' event on the second day, Yin Sichen changed his previous sharp tongue, was very patient with customers, and even agreed to take photos with customers. When it was time to settle the accounts in the evening, Gu Xixi announced that Yin Sichen had sold one more item than Mo Zixin, and that Yin Sichen had won.
Only then did Yin Sichen become happy. Lin Xiaoya was also very excited. Their store had never been this popular since it opened. Gu Xixi then suggested treating everyone to a big meal. Before eating, Gu Xixi pulled Lin Xiaoya aside. She took out her own bank card and asked her to swipe it for a dress for Yin Sichen.
It turned out that Yin Sichen and Mo Zixin were originally tied, but Gu Xixi knew that Yin Sichen liked to win, so she helped Yin Sichen cheat a little. Gu Xixi knew that Yin Sichen had done a lot for her, and finally she agreed to Yin Sichen investing in the Xixi store. Xu Qian suddenly found Ran Xiwei. She brought a stack of Gu Xixi's information to expose her.
Ran Xiwei glanced at it roughly and was not satisfied. Xu Qian then took out Gu Xixi's diary. Only then was Ran Xiwei satisfied, and she welcomed Xu Qian into her studio. After being happy, Gu Xixi suddenly encountered a creative block. The Xixi store was about to launch new products soon, but she had no inspiration at all. She had ruined many design drafts and had not drawn any satisfactory works.
Gu Xixi then found Mo Zixin and talked to him about the creative block. She asked him if he ever felt unable to complete a work when drawing comics. Mo Zixin suggested that there was an art exhibition recently and she could go see it to find inspiration. He also encouraged Gu Xixi to persist in her creation. However, this art exhibition was actually specially organized by Mo Zixin for Gu Xixi.
When Mo Zixin and Gu Xixi went to the exhibition together, Gu Xixi took a liking to a painting and intended to buy it. However, the exhibition person in charge said that this painting was a private collection and was not for sale. Mo Zixin, standing nearby, said that this painting was his own collection. He intended to give that painting to Gu Xixi. He said that there was an empty wall in the Xixi store.
But Gu Xixi said that wall had already been reserved by Yin Sichen, and she had already promised to let Yin Sichen display something there. Mo Zixin could only give up. Ran Xiwei saw the two of them at the exhibition. She deliberately found an opportunity to tell Yin Sichen what she had seen today, wanting to provoke conflict between Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi.
After Yin Sichen learned that Gu Xixi had encountered a creative block, he took Gu Xixi to an amusement park to play. With Yin Sichen's help, Gu Xixi indeed gained a lot of inspiration. After returning home with Yin Sichen, Gu Xixi immersed herself in drawing diligently. Yin Sichen and Ran Xiwei were cooperating to hold a fashion celebration. Ran Xiwei saw a mysterious segment in the event program.
After learning that it was specially prepared by Yin Sichen for Gu Xixi, Ran Xiwei had other thoughts. She secretly tampered with the video that was to be publicly broadcast. During the fashion celebration, Gu Xixi's diary suddenly started playing on the big screen. The content of the diary made the people present misunderstand Gu Xixi as a money-worshiping scheming woman. The reporters present quickly took photos, wanting to make a big news story.
Episode 19 Recap
Mo Zixin saw Gu Xixi was very distressed and wanted to step forward to help her out, but Yin Sichen got there first, coming to Gu Xixi's side. He told Gu Xixi not to worry, saying he was there. Yin Sichen pulled Gu Xixi onto the stage and declared to everyone that Gu Xixi was not a fraud, but someone he would protect with his life.
Yin Sichen confessed his love to Gu Xixi in front of everyone and kissed her. Reporters swarmed forward to ask questions. Yin Sichen was domineering, saying that no matter who tried to frame Gu Xixi, he would investigate thoroughly. After saying that, he took Gu Xixi and left. Yin Sichen's parents, who were traveling abroad, also saw the matter in the news. Yin mother still hadn't been kept in the dark about Yin Sichen's marriage.
Yin mother was anxious to rush back home. Yin father originally advised Yin mother to let go and let Yin Sichen handle the matter. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, he said he still needed to stay to discuss a cooperation. If she wanted to go back, he would let Yin mother go back first by herself. Yin mother also instructed Yin father to investigate Gu Xixi's background before hurrying back home.
Yin Sichen and Chen Fei Ang handled Gu Xixi's negative news. Yin Sichen then planned to resolve some internal conflicts. Shang mother suddenly found an excuse to invite Mu Ruona to meet. She said she already knew about Mu Ruona and Shang Ke's relationship and took out a bank card for Mu Ruona. Mu Ruona thought Shang mother was going to break them up, but Shang mother said she was telling Mu Ruona to never leave Shang Ke.
She knew what kind of person Shang Ke was, and she was already very happy to have a daughter-in-law like Mu Ruona. Shang mother then talked endlessly about future plans, suggesting Mu Ruona's family all move in and also saying they should have a son and a daughter. Mu Ruona gave a perfunctory response, saying it was her and Shang Ke's matter and she didn't have such plans yet.
After Mu Ruona returned to the company, she questioned Shang Ke if he had told Shang mother about their relationship. Shang Ke said he hadn't, that Shang mother saw it herself. Seeing Mu Ruona angry, Shang Ke took her hand and told her not to worry about the scoring system. Shang Ke suddenly proposed to Mu Ruona.
Mu Ruona hesitated for a moment, then told Shang Ke she didn't trust marriage, that her parents had an unhappy marriage, and she was affected by it. Shang Ke then asked Mu Ruona about the scoring system. Mu Ruona said she knew Shang Ke wouldn't meet the standard, so she deliberately designed it. After the argument, Mu Ruona lost contact and sent Shang Ke a text message saying she was taking annual leave.
Shang Ke was so anxious he went to Yin Sichen for help. Yin Sichen said that even if Shang Ke couldn't find Mu Ruona, someone else could. As Yin Sichen expected, Mu Ruona went to Gu Xixi to talk. What Shang Ke didn't know was that they had been dating for over a month and their score was already over sixty. If it continued like this, Shang Ke would definitely be fine.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Ruona fled in panic. She even wanted to resign and leave this place. However, Gu Xixi said that even if she left, she wouldn't be able to escape her emotional entanglement with Shang Ke. When Gu Xixi returned home, Shang Ke was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Upon seeing Gu Xixi, he quickly asked about Mu Ruona's whereabouts.
Gu Xixi then asked Shang Ke about his thoughts on marriage. Learning that Shang Ke only wanted to be with Mu Ruona and didn't care whether they could get married in the end, Gu Xixi immediately said that there was still hope for them. She arranged a hall for the two to meet. However, Shang Ke didn't say what Gu Xixi had taught him. Yin Sichen said he was the one who taught Shang Ke.
Although he didn't understand love, Mu Ruona was the same kind of person as him, and he understood Mu Ruona better than Shang Ke and Gu Xixi. As expected, Shang Ke followed Yin Sichen's advice and won back Mu Ruona. The two restarted the scoring, but Mu Ruona emphasized that even if the score reached above eighty, she might not marry Shang Ke. Shang Ke said he didn't care, he just hoped to give Mu Ruona enough sense of security.
After reconciling, their relationship became even sweeter. Mu Ruona even publicly showed affection with Shang Ke in front of partners out of jealousy. After the two left, Gu Xixi pulled Yin Sichen to clean the hall. Gu Xixi recalled her and Yin Sichen's wedding, where she was coerced by Yin Sichen. Thinking about it now, she still had some regrets. Yin Sichen took this opportunity to pull Gu Xixi to dance and re-propose to Gu Xixi.
While the two were being sweet, Yin mother suddenly called, saying she was returning home. Gu Xixi was very nervous when she heard this, worrying that Yin mother wouldn't like her. Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi not to worry, that he would always be with Gu Xixi. But Gu Xixi was still very anxious, even planning to start losing weight. Yin Sichen teased Gu Xixi at the dining table.
Yin grandmother also chimed in, urging them to quickly let her hold a grandchild. Gu Xixi learned that Yin mother liked playing golf, and specifically asked Yin Sichen to arrange for her to learn it beforehand.
Episode 20 Recap
Gu Xixi didn't eat for a day to lose weight, and also practiced golf all day. Yin Sichen felt for Gu Xixi and pulled her out, telling her not to change herself to please Yin mother; she just needed to be herself. Yin Sichen also pulled Gu Xixi to a barbecue stall, ordered extremely spicy chicken wings for her, and ate with her.
He promised Gu Xixi that he would definitely make Yin mother like her, which made Gu Xixi slightly relieved. Yin mother returned the next day. Gu Xixi and Yin Sichen hosted a welcome dinner for Yin mother at home. Gu Xixi felt a bit scared looking at the imposing Yin mother. Yin mother was also cold and sarcastic towards Gu Xixi, saying that if she hadn't seen it on the news, she wouldn't even know when she got a daughter-in-law.
Yin Sichen quickly smoothed things over and pulled Yin mother to eat. At the dinner table, Yin mother asked about Gu Xixi's situation and learned about her work. While eating, Yin mother saw Gu Xixi scoop a spoonful of yam for Yin Sichen, and frowned, saying Yin Sichen didn't eat yam, and how could Gu Xixi not even know this. Yin grandmother and Yin Sichen quickly explained, saying Gu Xixi had improved the yam dish.
Yin grandmother also said that Gu Xixi's care for Yin Sichen was no less than that of his mother. When Gu Xixi woke up early, she saw Ran Xiwei arriving with a pile of gifts to greet Yin mother. Gu Xixi mentioned the clothing store she opened and invited Yin mother to visit if she had time. Ran Xiwei originally wanted to refuse on behalf of Yin mother, but Yin mother went to Xixi with Ran Xiwei.
When they arrived at the store, Gu Xixi asked Lin Xiaoya to bring out the dress she made for Yin mother. Seeing Ran Xiwei was there and knowing she would stir up trouble, Lin Xiaoya deliberately brought the wrong dress. As soon as Ran Xiwei saw the dress, she sneered that the level of the clothes Gu Xixi made was insufficient and didn't match Yin mother.
It was only then that Lin Xiaoya said she had made a mistake and brought the wrong dress. This dress was one that Ran Xiwei had worn before when attending a fashion celebration. At that time, Gu Xixi had said that Ran Xiwei wore it awkwardly, so she specifically bought it to modify it and give it to Ran Xiwei. Lin Xiaoya's mocking remarks made Ran Xiwei leave in a huff.
Only then did Lin Xiaoya take out the real dress and give it to Yin mother, also saying that Gu Xixi had put a lot of effort into this dress. Yin mother praised the dress and said she would wear it to an upcoming banquet in a few days. In the evening, Gu Xixi was waiting for Yin Sichen at a restaurant for their date.
But at this time, Yin mother suddenly arrived at Yin Sichen's company; she was also a shareholder of Yin Sichen's company. This visit was to check on Yin Sichen's work. Yin mother looked at the various reports and saw Yin Sichen looking anxious, so she asked if he was in a hurry and guessed he was going on a date. Yin mother deliberately acted like a wicked mother-in-law, pretending to oppose their relationship.
Yin Sichen was extremely anxious, saying he only had Gu Xixi in his heart and would not give up on Gu Xixi. Only then did Yin mother break her act and say she was very satisfied with Gu Xixi. If Yin Sichen truly liked Gu Xixi, he must treat her sincerely, and she told Yin Sichen to hurry up and go on his date.
By the time Yin Sichen rushed to the restaurant, it was already closed, and Gu Xixi was no longer there. Just as Yin Sichen was feeling disappointed, Gu Xixi appeared behind him holding two ice creams. Yin Sichen quickly hugged Gu Xixi. Yin mother took Gu Xixi to her socialite gathering and wore the dress designed by Gu Xixi. At the gathering, those ladies seemed to look down on Gu Xixi's background. Yin mother spoke up for Gu Xixi.
After the gathering, Yin mother specifically comforted Gu Xixi, telling her not to take those words to heart, but that this was the life of people like them and Yin Sichen, and there would definitely be many bumps in the road ahead, but she would definitely help Gu Xixi. After hearing Yin mother's words, Gu Xixi couldn't help but ponder.
Although she and Yin Sichen had gone through so much and their relationship was very good, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Yin Sichen were still people from two different worlds. She ran into Mo Zixin at a restaurant and confided in him about her worries. However, Gu Xixi still decided to work hard and develop her store.
After Gu Xixi returned home, she told Yin Sichen that she planned to go study and accumulate experience for managing the Xixi store. Yin Sichen originally agreed, but as soon as he heard that Gu Xixi said she was going to study in another place for training, and that she would be gone for three months, Yin Sichen became somewhat reluctant. He even childishly hid Gu Xixi's ID card, but Gu Xixi found it anyway. Yin Sichen could only let Gu Xixi take it. Although Yin Sichen was extremely unwilling, Gu Xixi still went to another place to attend the training class.
Episode 21 Recap
Yin Sichen refused to believe that Gu Xixi had left. He ran to the Xixi store to look for her, but Lin Xiaoya said that Gu Xixi had already boarded the plane. Yin Sichen became a bit flustered. Lin Xiaoya quickly comforted him, saying that Gu Xixi had just gone for further study and wasn't not coming back.
After Yin Sichen left, Lin Xiaoya called Gu Xixi to tell her that Yin Sichen had come to the store looking for her. Gu Xixi had just finished reporting to the school and was about to go to the homestay to settle down. She happened to meet Mo Zixin on the way, so Mo Zixin gave her a ride to the homestay. Ever since Gu Xixi left, Yin Sichen had been restless.
Chen Fei Ang suggested he go find Gu Xixi, but Yin Sichen said it had only been eight hours since they separated and it would be too embarrassing for him to go find Gu Xixi now. But in less than two minutes, it was nine hours, so Yin Sichen immediately told Chen Fei Ang to book a ticket and went to the city where Gu Xixi's training class was located.
When he found Gu Xixi, he saw Mo Zixin walking with Gu Xixi, so he quickly called Mu Ruona. Mu Ruona said that Gu Xixi had indeed gone to study and told him not to worry about Mo Zixin. Yin Sichen was still worried that Mo Zixin would take advantage of the situation, so he asked Mu Ruona to give him the contact information for the business school.
After Yin Sichen hung up the phone, he followed Gu Xixi and Mo Zixin all the way. He followed the two into a restaurant. Seeing Mo Zixin and Gu Xixi chatting happily, Yin Sichen was consumed by jealousy. He deliberately ordered a spicy soup for Mo Zixin. Just as Yin Sichen was feeling pleased seeing Mo Zixin being pranked by himself, he didn't expect Gu Xixi to swap her soup with Mo Zixin's.
Yin Sichen was extremely angry when he saw this. Yin Sichen then went to see the principal of the business school. Not only did he donate money to the school, but he also entered the academy as a specially appointed teacher, using the alias Mr. Zorro to connect with Gu Xixi, claiming to be Gu Xixi's liaison teacher. Just as Yin Sichen was feeling smug, Gu Xixi called him to say hello.
Yin Sichen felt a bit guilty and hung up the phone after chatting with Gu Xixi for a few sentences. When Gu Xixi went to class the next day, she didn't see Mr. Zorro, so she asked the classmate next to her. The classmate said that this Mr. Zorro was a specially appointed teacher, rumored to be a big shot in the industry, and would only appear in the last class. Usually, they just needed to submit assignments.
In the evening, Gu Xixi suddenly fell ill and fainted. Mo Zixin quickly took her to the hospital. Mo Zixin originally wanted to stay and take care of Gu Xixi, but Yu Nong stepped forward and said there was a problem with the company's contracts, and Mo Zixin needed to go back to resolve it, so Mo Zixin had to leave.
At this time, Yin Sichen finished grading student assignments and also received the news that Gu Xixi had taken sick leave. He quickly rushed to the hospital to visit her. Gu Xixi was still in a deep sleep and was calling Yin Sichen's name in her dream. Yin Sichen watched, feeling extremely heartbroken. He stayed with Gu Xixi all night, bought breakfast and placed it by the bed, and then left.
By the time Gu Xixi woke up, Mo Zixin had already rushed back. He was very happy to see Gu Xixi awake and planned to buy breakfast. Gu Xixi looked at the breakfast by the side and realized it wasn't the breakfast Mo Zixin had bought. As soon as Mo Zixin saw it, he knew Yin Sichen had been there. Knowing that Yin Sichen had come, Mo Zixin deliberately let him see himself taking Gu Xixi out to eat.
When they were almost finished eating, Yin Sichen, using the name Mr. Zorro, called Gu Xixi to his office. Mo Zixin heard this and knew it was Yin Sichen behind it, so he let Gu Xixi leave first. Yin Sichen grabbed a janitor in the teaching building to act as Mr. Zorro for him and directed his words and actions through earphones.
However, Gu Xixi noticed something was off from his clothes and words and asked him if he knew Yin Sichen. The janitor quickly lied to cover it up. After Gu Xixi left, the janitor asked Yin Sichen if the two of them had argued and told Yin Sichen to humble himself and apologize to Gu Xixi and stop lying to her. Yin Sichen was a bit conflicted about whether to confess to Gu Xixi.
Just then, Gu Xixi sent a message saying she wanted to express her gratitude to Mr. Zorro by inviting him to dinner. Yin Sichen thought this was a good opportunity, so he agreed. However, before Yin Sichen could confess, Gu Xixi got one over on him. Gu Xixi said that she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yin Sichen and wanted to stay to complete the course. Yin Sichen also agreed to support her.
Episode 22 Recap
Over two months later, Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi home. As they were kissing, the living room lights suddenly turned on. Yin Sichen's grandmother and mother suddenly appeared and said they had prepared a surprise party for Gu Xixi. Seeing that they had interrupted Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi, they quickly told Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi to go rest. Before resting at night, Yin Sichen saw in Gu Xixi's notebook that she had written about entering Wanmao.
Gu Xixi said it was a course assignment. Although she wanted Xixi to go to a bigger platform, she felt that Xixi was not yet qualified to enter Wanmao. Yin Sichen told Gu Xixi not to worry. The next day, Yin Sichen called Gu Xixi to the company, asked his subordinates to help Gu Xixi fill out the application form, and told them to remember that this was the Wanmao boss lady's project.
The two also showed off their affection in public, which made Chen Fei Ang feel extremely helpless. Gu Xixi wasn't at the store, so Yin Sichen's mother brought her socialite friends to Xixi to help with Gu Xixi's business. Yin Sichen's mother also knew about Ran Xiwei's feelings for Yin Sichen.
She specifically met with Ran Xiwei and hinted to Ran Xiwei that she only saw her as a goddaughter, telling her to stay within her bounds and maintain a friendship with Yin Sichen. She also introduced someone else to collaborate with Ran Xiwei instead of Yin Sichen, precisely because she didn't want Ran Xiwei to find another excuse to get close to Yin Sichen. Ran Xiwei naturally understood Yin Sichen's mother's meaning and felt very dissatisfied at the moment.
At dinner, Yin Sichen told Yin Sichen's mother about Xixi entering Wanmao, but his mother expressed opposition. Yin Sichen thought his mother didn't approve of Gu Xixi's ability, but unexpectedly, his mother said that she had taken people to visit the Xixi store today, and everyone highly approved of the Xixi store and was interested in introducing international department store chains to Gu Xixi.
If this happened, the Xixi store could start directly from the international market, and by then, Wanmao would be asking the Xixi store to join. Yin Sichen only then realized that his mother thought Wanmao wasn't big enough. Yin Sichen said they were already processing the contract. His mother said that since it was Gu Xixi's brand, it should be Gu Xixi's decision.
Gu Xixi felt that it wasn't time for the Xixi store to enter the international market yet, and ultimately chose Wanmao. Chen Fei Ang found the surveillance footage from the fashion ceremony and discovered that it was Ran Xiwei who had copied Gu Xixi's diary video onto the computer. Yin Sichen then decided to confront Ran Xiwei.
Before going to the company, Yin Sichen also asked Chen Fei Ang to bring him the marriage contract between him and Gu Xixi, saying that he and Gu Xixi no longer needed this contract. While Yin Sichen was looking at the contract in his office, Ran Xiwei happened to show up. Yin Sichen quickly put the contract in a folder. He questioned Ran Xiwei about framing Gu Xixi.
Ran Xiwei did not deny it, saying that she did all of this to make Yin Sichen see Gu Xixi's true face. Yin Sichen sternly rejected Ran Xiwei and threatened her, saying that if she ever did anything detrimental to Gu Xixi again, he would make her pay the price. After saying that, he shook off Ran Xiwei and left. However, Ran Xiwei saw the prenuptial agreement between Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi on the table.
Her love for Yin Sichen turned into hatred, so she decided to expose the matter. As Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi were about to go eat, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of reporters. The reporters bombarded them with questions about the contract marriage. Just then, Mu Ruona and Shang Ke rushed over to help, covering for Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi as they left. Shang Ke announced to the reporters that he planned to get engaged.
Mu Ruona looked at Shang Ke in surprise. The reporters were not interested and ran off to chase Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi again. After a while, the group met to discuss how to resolve the matter. Yin Sichen also told everyone that Ran Xiwei had done this. Mu Ruona said that because of this incident, Wanmao's stock price was continuously falling.
Yin Sichen said he had already sent an email to Alex explaining the cause and effect and was now just waiting for Alex's reply. Everyone put forward various ideas, but Gu Xixi said that they should explain it clearly to the public. Just then, Chen Fei Ang called and said that the company had convened a shareholders' meeting to hold Yin Sichen accountable. Yin Sichen returned to the company for the meeting.
The shareholders were very angry about the losses Yin Sichen had caused the company. Yin Sichen stated that as long as he received Alex's understanding and Alex issued a statement, the stock price should rebound. The shareholders discussed and decided to give Yin Sichen fifteen days to resolve the matter, but his executive duties would be temporarily suspended first. After the meeting, Yin Sichen learned that something had also happened with Gu Xixi.
The fall in Wanmao's stock price made the shareholders very angry, and they ran to the Xixi store to vent their anger. Fortunately, Mo Zixin rushed over and helped Gu Xixi. Yin Sichen quickly rushed over. He thanked Mo Zixin, which was rare for him. After Mo Zixin left, Yin Sichen took Gu Xixi to a place he often went to when he encountered difficulties and setbacks. The two encouraged each other and decided to overcome the difficulties together.
Episode 23 Recap
When Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi were resting together, Yin Sichen received a call from Chen Fei Ang. Chen Fei Ang said that Alex refused to communicate with Yin Sichen, but he would continue to stay in touch and inform Yin Sichen as soon as there was news. Gu Xixi was woken up and heard Yin Sichen talking to Chen Fei Ang. She felt a little sad, but she didn't disturb Yin Sichen.
The next day, the Yin family was worried that it would be unsafe for Gu Xixi to go to the store again, so they wanted Gu Xixi to rest for a while. However, Yin Sichen still supported Gu Xixi in continuing her career. Yin Sichen sent Gu Xixi to the store and found that the entrance of the Xixi store was covered with malicious posters.
After the two tore down the posters, Yin Sichen instructed Gu Xixi not to go out and to report her safety to him every half hour. Chen Fei Ang urged Yin Sichen to go to the company, and only then did Yin Sichen reluctantly say goodbye to Gu Xixi. Ran Xiwei learned that Wanmao was going to hold a shareholders' meeting to deal with Yin Sichen.
The husband of one of her clients, Mrs. Chen, was a shareholder of Wanmao, and a major one. There were a total of five shareholders in Wanmao, and to decide Yin Sichen's fate, three shareholders had to agree. Chairman Chen was one of the people Yin Sichen needed to win over. Chen Fei Ang said that Mrs. Chen's birthday was in two days, and he would help choose a good gift.
Yin Sichen first went to see Chairman Yang, but Chairman Yang was cold towards Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen wanted Chen Fei Ang to check who had recently contacted Chairman Yang, but then discovered that Ran Xiwei was there. Yin Sichen understood that Ran Xiwei was interfering. Ran Xiwei also offered Yin Sichen a choice: as long as Yin Sichen left Gu Xixi, she would help Yin Sichen get Chairman Yang and Chairman Chen on his side.
But Yin Sichen said that even without Gu Xixi, he would not like Ran Xiwei. Even if Gu Xixi couldn't help him in business, he just liked being with Gu Xixi, and it had nothing to do with how much she contributed. While busy at the store, Gu Xixi also sent an email to Alex, hoping to explain.
In the evening, as she was closing the store and preparing to go home, a shareholder who had lost everything due to the drop in Wanmao's stock price attacked Gu Xixi with a knife. Fortunately, Yin Sichen and Chen Fei Ang arrived in time and saved Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was still shaken. Yin Sichen patiently comforted her and took her home. After returning home, Gu Xixi rested for a while and finally recovered.
Seeing that Yin Sichen was still working late into the night, she brought him some late-night snacks. She saw information about Chairman Chen on Yin Sichen's computer and asked if Chairman Chen was a shareholder of Wanmao. Yin Sichen happened to mention that Mrs. Chen's birthday was tomorrow and he might be back late. Gu Xixi investigated Mrs. Chen, Linda. Before marrying Chairman Chen, Mrs. Chen was also a fashion model, a predecessor to Lin Xiaoya.
Chairman Chen was very obedient to Mrs. Chen. To win over Chairman Chen, they had to win over Mrs. Chen. So Gu Xixi went with Yin Sichen to the Chen family to attend Mrs. Chen's birthday party. At the birthday party, Gu Xixi was quite familiar with Mrs. Chen and successfully helped Yin Sichen get a chance to talk to Chairman Chen about the shareholders' meeting.
Ran Xiwei, who was originally talking to Mrs. Chen, was very unhappy to see this scene. Yin Sichen curiously asked Gu Xixi why she had such a good relationship with Mrs. Chen. Gu Xixi said she had helped Mrs. Chen with a favor. Mrs. Chen wore the same dress as someone else at an event and was angry. Gu Xixi stepped in and embellished Mrs. Chen's dress, making it unique. This made Mrs. Chen greatly appreciate Gu Xixi.
With Gu Xixi's help, Yin Sichen persuaded Chairman Chen to help him. Although they had won over Chairman Chen, the other directors on the board were still not satisfied with Yin Sichen's actions. Now, only by getting Alex's support could the situation be reversed. Yin Sichen decided to fly to Milan to personally apologize to Alex. Gu Xixi suggested that she go with Yin Sichen, as she also had some responsibility for the matter.
Yin Sichen had no choice but to agree. The two quickly went to Milan. Gu Xixi said that after all, the two met and fell in love because of MY LOVE, so no one should understand the essence of MY LOVE better than them. The two went to Alex's company, but Alex's assistant was unhelpful. Gu Xixi, however, encountered a designer from the previous studio and learned that Alex was having a party tonight.
The two sneaked into the party that night. Gu Xixi distracted the security guards, allowing Yin Sichen to successfully approach Alex. But Gu Xixi was also kicked out by the security guards. Gu Xixi wandered around alone and saw a time capsule store that she had visited with Yin Sichen when they were in Milan before. At that time, the two had written messages to their future selves and stored the time capsules in the store. Gu Xixi had an idea and went into the store to take out the time capsule Yin Sichen had written to see what he had written back then.
Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
Yin Sichen wanted to explain the whole story clearly to Alex. He told Alex that it was only because he fell in love with Gu Xixi that he truly understood the profound meaning behind MY LOVE. Regardless of whether Alex forgave him, he still hoped to contribute to MY LOVE. After listening to Yin Sichen's words, Alex still couldn't forgive Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen had no choice but to leave to find Gu Xixi.
Seeing Yin Sichen leave, Alex followed him out of curiosity. When Yin Sichen found Gu Xixi, Gu Xixi had just finished reading the time capsule Yin Sichen wrote. Gu Xixi originally thought that Yin Sichen back then would write bad things about her, but who knew that Yin Sichen actually confessed to her in the time capsule? It turned out that from that time, Yin Sichen had already fallen in love with Gu Xixi. Gu Xixi was very moved.
Seeing Yin Sichen appear before her, she hugged Yin Sichen and confessed her feelings deeply. Alex also saw this scene and felt somewhat comforted by their relationship. Since Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi couldn't get Alex's forgiveness, they had to return to their country. Although they didn't achieve the desired result, they were very content to have each other's company and were not afraid of the future.
The shareholders' meeting was approaching, and Yin Sichen was still thinking that if he couldn't control Wanmao this time, he would take Gu Xixi on a honeymoon. The shareholders' meeting was held as scheduled. Yin Sichen told the shareholders that he had caused losses to the company this time, but he would do his best to make up for them. The shareholders' meeting lasted from morning till night. Gu Xixi and others anxiously waited for the answer.
Now, only Alex could decide Yin Sichen's fate. At the critical moment, Alex rushed to the shareholders' meeting and supported Yin Sichen to continue as CEO. He said that Wanmao had many talents, but there was only one Yin Sichen. Since the incident occurred, Yin Sichen had minimized Wanmao's losses, which precisely demonstrated Yin Sichen's ability. With Alex's help, Yin Sichen was able to continue as the CEO of Wanmao.
Yin Sichen was very grateful to Alex and promised to manage MY LOVE well. Alex said that this vote should still be thanked to Gu Xixi. It turned out that Gu Xixi had incorporated her understanding of MY LOVE into her own designs and told Alex her ideas. Alex was moved by the genuine emotions shown in Gu Xixi's email and designs, felt the love between the two, and finally chose to forgive Yin Sichen.
Ran Xiwei's work had not been going smoothly recently, and rumors about Ran Xiwei and Yin Sichen were circulating online. Ran Xiwei was disheartened and prepared to go abroad. Before leaving, she specifically went to find Gu Xixi once. Gu Xixi wished Ran Xiwei to find the person who would make her happy for the rest of her life. Although Ran Xiwei was still somewhat unwilling, she could only let go of Yin Sichen.
Yin Sichen continued to serve as the CEO of Wanmao. The Xixi store would also reopen in a month, so Gu Xixi prepared to hold an opening fashion show. She also secretly prepared it herself, planning to give Yin Sichen a surprise. Meanwhile, Yin Sichen had also bribed Lin Xiaoya, wanting to make up a marriage proposal for Gu Xixi. It turned out that Gu Xixi also wanted to propose to Yin Sichen.
The surprises they prepared for each other collided, and they even met at the event venue. Yin Sichen and Gu Xixi quickly asked Lin Xiaoya and Chen Fei Ang to cover for them, but they still ran into each other. Both of them were clearly preparing a surprise for the other, but they were both very nervous.
Chen Fei Ang and Lin Xiaoya also learned that their plans had clashed and even made a bet on who would successfully propose in the end. The opening show of the Xixi store was about to begin. Alex also came to support it. The Yin family also knew that Yin Sichen was going to propose to Gu Xixi at the end of the opening show.
Just as Yin Sichen went to change his clothes, Gu Xixi suddenly appeared on stage wearing a wedding dress. She slowly walked towards Yin Sichen, knelt on one knee, and proposed to Yin Sichen. Yin Sichen also took out the ring he had prepared long ago, said his wedding vows to Gu Xixi, and accepted Gu Xixi's proposal. The two were happy and content, making others envious. This winding yet ordinary love story also drew a happy ending.
