Step by Step Love Episode 13 Recap
> Step by Step Love Recap
Lu Cenyang knew that Bu Ran was bullied by Carry but didn't dare to speak up. He questioned why Bu Ran didn't listen to him and go back to rest, and also mentioned that she wasn't feeling well after waking up this morning. Qin Xun exploded upon hearing this. Did the two of them sleep together last night? Bu Ran stepped forward to explain, but it only made things look worse.
To ease the awkwardness, Bu Ran asked Qin Xun to take her home. However, Lu Cenyang stepped forward and insisted on taking Bu Ran home, telling Qin Xun to leave quickly, or he would call the police on the grounds of him trespassing into the company. Bu Ran quickly pulled Lu Cenyang downstairs. Bu Ran blamed Lu Cenyang for overreacting. Even if Qin Xun trespassing was wrong, he was only there to bring her medicine.
She blamed Lu Cenyang for using last night's events to provoke him. Lu Cenyang, however, didn't think much of it, saying anyway Qin Xun wasn't her boyfriend. Bu Ran stated that it wasn't only boyfriends and girlfriends who cared for each other. She suspected Lu Cenyang's motive was also out of concern for her. Lu Cenyang immediately retorted, asking what motive he could possibly have towards her.
Then, he apologized to Bu Ran for not stopping Carry from making her drink, stating that taking care of her last night was to express his apology. Bu Ran knew that Lu Cenyang never had a habit of apologizing to subordinates, yet he apologized to her face, which flustered her for a moment. She quickly ran away on the pretext of having a stomach ache.
While strolling on the street, Bu Ran happened to run into Yi Zihe entangled with his new and old flames. Bu Ran stood up for the welfare home's assistant teacher, strongly criticizing Yi Zihe as the epitome of a scumbag. However, the girlfriend Yi Zihe was seeing this time was not simple; she was Chen Manni, a space designer who could even earn a thumbs-up from Taylor.
Director Hua knew Lu Cenyang wanted to use short videos to expand his influence. Yi Zihe stepped forward and suggested using the program "Extraordinary Place" to suppress Pinshang. Chen Manni was the sharp weapon in his hands. This time, Director Hua praised Yi Zihe, which made him very proud. Carry mocked Bu Ran for winning over Lu Cenyang by getting drunk, but Bu Ran retorted.
Lu Cenyang asked Bu Ran to participate in the meeting with the staff of the program "Extraordinary Place" and designated her as Pinshang's designer for this event. Bu Ran felt the gap between herself and Chen Manni was too big. Chen Manni possessed both beauty and capability, and also had high popularity. If she participated, she would only be a stepping stone. She wasn't afraid if it was just a design ability comparison, but this event was about overall strength.
Lu Cenyang encouraged her to bravely be herself, but Bu Ran still lacked confidence. Bu Ran came to her father to discuss. Seeing her father painting, she observed that although he hadn't painted for many years, he could paint well when doing it for someone he loved, and giving his sincerity would bring rewards. Yi Minde also provided his daughter with important information: Chen Manni had actively pursued Lu Cenyang but was rejected by him.
The reason she got involved with Yi Zihe was also to use this opportunity to humiliate Lu Cenyang. After her father's guidance, Bu Ran's extinguished confidence began to gradually recover. After work, Lu Cenyang saw Chen Manni provoking Bu Ran and even demeaning her. Bu Ran retaliated tit-for-tat, leaving Chen Manni to depart sheepishly. Bu Ran worried about not having a good project to enter the competition. Lu Cenyang recommended the renovation design of the old house.
The program "Extraordinary Place" officially began. Bu Ran went to Aunt Wang's old house to take measurements, dressed simply and casually. Compared to Chen Manni participating in the show with a makeup artist, an assistant, and a large entourage, she indeed looked a bit shabby. Because of this, she was ridiculed by Carry and others, who said it damaged Pinshang's image.
Upon hearing this, Lu Cenyang specially carried an ordinary bag to show support for Bu Ran, while Secretary Yao gave Bu Ran a valuable bag. Bu Ran did not accept it, saying she felt perfectly fine the way she was. Her relatives and friends around her all mobilized support to vote for Bu Ran, which touched her greatly. But even so, she was still left far behind by Chen Manni.
Qin Xun brought nutritional supplements, while Lu Cenyang ordered a table full of things Bu Ran liked to eat, to reward her hard work. Bu Ran's confidence also grew stronger. If it was just about design, she felt she wouldn't lose to Chen Manni.
