Cute Bodyguard Episode 10 Recap
> Cute Bodyguard Recap
To evade pursuit, Gu Rong and Su Jingjing disguise themselves as a couple taking wedding photos. Gu Rong tells the photographer his "fiancée" is shy and asks for something to cover them from the crowd. Once they are safely outside, Su Jingjing wants to change and leave immediately. However, the photographer reminds them that they have already paid, and if no photos are taken, the company will blame the staff.
Gu Rong, eager for a photo, insists they should take at least one picture as a favor to the photographers for helping them escape. Su Jingjing reluctantly agrees, and despite her protesting that she hadn't agreed, they end up having a full photoshoot. Han Ran, waiting for an appointment, unexpectedly runs into Bai Anrou. He expresses surprise at seeing her working so late, and she explains she stayed behind to manage some affairs after the chairman left.
Later, when Han Ran cannot find his car keys, Bai Anrou offers to drive him home. During the ride, Han Ran notices a business proposal concerning the Gu Group on her car seat. When they arrive, he asks to use her phone to pay for the ride. Amused, Bai Anrou asks if her previous actions offended him.
Han Ran clarifies it is a matter of reciprocity and suggests he treat her to a meal next time to cover the cost, a proposal that makes them both smile. While walking back, Su Jingjing complains that her first time wearing a wedding dress was far too hasty and casual, blaming Gu Rong for the "bad idea" of pretending to be a bride. Gu Rong apologetically takes the blame. Suddenly, they are intercepted by Chief He and his men.
Su Jingjing single-handedly defeats them with her martial arts, but the fight is interrupted by the arrival of Gu Rong's grandfather, who orders everyone to stop. Gu Rong's grandfather condescendingly commends Su Jingjing on her skills, calling her a "passable" bodyguard. Gu Rong immediately tells his grandfather not to speak to her in such a manner. The grandfather expresses his disappointment, stating that Gu Rong's actions don't justify his running away from home.
Gu Rong defiantly says he will only return if they beat him and drag him back, warning that a scene would cause a scandal for the Gu Group on social media. The grandfather scolds him for threatening his elders, but Su Jingjing intervenes, reminding him that Gu Rong is an adult with a right to his own freedom. As his bodyguard, she declares she will protect him.
Gu Rong stands firm, telling his grandfather he won't return until he is truly understood. After they leave, Gu Rong praises Su Jingjing, saying she was like a true heroine. Back at the martial arts club, Su Jingjing's mother questions their disheveled appearance. Later, Gu Rong shows Su Jingjing the photos from their shoot. She finds the idea of keeping the photos absurd, but he insists, telling her she looks beautiful.
He then leans in to kiss her, only to be interrupted by her mother calling them to eat fruit. A mortified Su Jingjing flees upstairs, where she fumes about being kissed and not resisting. Meanwhile, Gu Rong smiles at the photos in his room, feeling it was a lucky day, even noticing his stocks have gone up.
The next morning, Su Jingjing's mother sends her husband and Gu Rong out to buy buns so she can privately question Su Jingjing about Gu Rong. Su Jingjing tries to deflect, but her mother reveals she saw their near-kiss in the hallway. Her mom expresses her strong approval of Gu Rong, praising his character and thoughtfulness, but Su Jingjing insists he is annoying. When her mom accuses her of initiating the kiss, Su Jingjing frustratedly corrects her, "He kissed me!"
While buying buns, Gu Rong asks Su Jingjing's father for advice on how to know if a girl likes him. The father advises him to do whatever it takes to make her recognize her own feelings. Later, Gu Rong tells Bai Anrou he will continue staying with the Su family, and she agrees to keep him updated on his grandfather's plans. Elsewhere, the grandfather summons Bai Anrou, revealing he knows about her covering for Gu Rong.
He dismisses Gu Rong's feelings for Su Jingjing as a childish infatuation with "ordinary fare" and, after reviewing her unimpressive background, tasks Bai Anrou with persuading Gu Rong to return. He shows her a photo of Gu Rong with his arm around Su Jingjing, telling her to be vigilant. Lacking dating experience, Gu Rong asks Xie Te for advice. Xie Te reveals that his girlfriend, Ai Mi, gets most possessive when she's jealous of other girls.
Inspired, Gu Rong concludes that Su Jingjing will be forced to confront her feelings if she sees him with another woman. He decides to use Qin Xiaoxiao, an old schoolmate who has been trying to meet him about a business proposal, for his plan. He instructs Xie Te to arrange a meeting at a cultural park and insists Su Jingjing must come along to witness his "charm."
At the cultural park, Qin Xiaoxiao greets Gu Rong and asks if his haphephobia is better. He introduces Su Jingjing as his bodyguard. At a popular graffiti wall where couples leave handprints, Qin Xiaoxiao reveals she saved a spot for them inside a heart shape. Su Jingjing interjects that the heart can't fit three hands. After a brief debate, Qin Xiaoxiao places her handprint outside the heart. Feeling uncomfortable, Su Jingjing suggests they go eat.
Qin Xiaoxiao leads them to a private club where she has personally cooked Gu Rong's favorite steak and seafood fried rice. She apologizes to Su Jingjing for not preparing a meal for her, as she didn't know she was coming. Gu Rong offers to share his portion with Su Jingjing. Qin Xiaoxiao then reveals she learned the special recipe just for Gu Rong. After he praises the food, she pointedly asks Su Jingjing if she wants the recipe to cook for him herself.
