Time To Fall In Love Episode 10 Recap
> Time To Fall In Love Recap
Nangong Liuli purposely kept Su Yanxi working late in the office. Su Yanxi, unaware of Nangong Liuli's intentions, only saw her dedication to work. While they were working overtime, Nangong Liuli received a call from Gu Xicheng. She deliberately called out "Xicheng" affectionately in front of Su Yanxi to make her feel uneasy.
During the call, Nangong Liuli falsely claimed that Su Yanxi had been careless and almost caused a problem, prompting Gu Xicheng to ask Nangong Liuli to help Su Yanxi more. Su Yanxi soon received a text from Gu Xicheng, indicating it was time to leave. Nangong Liuli then told Su Yanxi to go home, stating she would finish the remaining work herself.
Su Yanxi felt a pang of guilt, as it was her own work, yet Nangong Liuli was staying late for it. As Su Yanxi left, Nangong Liuli took over her computer, a strange smile playing on her lips. Later, Gu Xicheng picked Su Yanxi up to take her home. Su Yanxi expressed her wish that Gu Xicheng would not blindly approve the R&D department's work just because of her. She also wondered how he knew she was still working overtime.
Gu Xicheng casually mentioned Nangong Liuli, which made Su Yanxi feel deeply upset. She then declared that since she was in the R&D Department, she would do her part to the best of her ability and urged him not to be lenient just because she created the design. During a company meeting, Nangong Liuli presented the R&D department's designs, receiving widespread approval, especially for the "Cat's Eye and Holy Pearl" design which cleverly incorporated Chinese elements.
Nangong Liuli, however, claimed all the designs as her own and her team's hard work, stating they pulled several all-nighters. Su Yanxi felt deeply wronged. After the meeting, she confronted Nangong Liuli, asking why she hadn't credited her for the "Cat's Eye and Holy Pearl" design.
Nangong Liuli retorted, suggesting Su Yanxi lacked team spirit, implying all designs were a collective effort from the R&D department and that Su Yanxi shouldn't expect special treatment due to her perceived closeness to Gu Xicheng. Su Yanxi denied any closeness with Gu Xicheng. At that very moment, Gu Xicheng overheard their conversation. Feeling hurt, he instructed them not to discuss private matters at the company, cutting Su Yanxi off when she tried to explain.
Nangong Liuli then dismissively told Su Yanxi that the president wouldn't care who created the design. Feeling unfairly treated, Su Yanxi asked Nangong Liuli for a half-day leave, citing "liver pain." Nangong Liuli granted it. Su Yanxi then made a phone call, addressing the person on the other end as He Jinxi.
Su Yanxi inquired about their mother's condition and the situation with the Gu family, urging He Jinxi not to expose herself in front of Gu Xicheng and asking when she would return. He Jinxi then showed Su Yanxi her mother lying in a hospital bed before abruptly ending the call. Seeing Su Yanxi distraught, Fu Boya took her to the Happy Club. There, Su Yanxi channeled her anger, thinking of Gu Xicheng's words and shouting "Gu Xicheng, go to hell!"
, and poured all her frustration into an intense running session. She later expressed how relieved and happy she felt. Meanwhile, Situ informed Gu Xicheng that Su Yanxi was out with Fu Boya. Gu Xicheng was clearly bothered by this. Nangong Liuli, overhearing, deliberately commented on Su Yanxi and Fu Boya's supposed close relationship and suggested Gu Xicheng go check on them. Despite his irritation, Gu Xicheng's pride led him to focus on work instead. Separately, Situ messaged An'an.
An'an initially responded with indifference but immediately agreed to meet Situ after learning that Su Yanxi had been wronged at work. After her strenuous workout, a cheerful Su Yanxi decided to treat Fu Boya to dinner as a thank you. As they went to retrieve their bags and phones from the bar, Fu Boya noticed several missed calls from Gu Xicheng on his phone. He informed Su Yanxi, who then checked her own phone to find sixteen missed calls.
She decided to call Gu Xicheng back. When Su Yanxi called Gu Xicheng, he demanded to know why she hadn't answered and accused her of not caring about the design work. Su Yanxi asserted her right to her personal life, stating that Gu Xicheng had no right to interfere. At that moment, Fu Boya approached Su Yanxi to check on her, and Gu Xicheng overheard his voice, which intensified his jealousy, leading to a heated argument on the phone.
Fu Boya was still contemplating where to eat dinner when Nangong Liuli offered a suggestion for a restaurant. Unbeknownst to Fu Boya, Nangong Liuli had already planned to meet Gu Xicheng at that very restaurant. She even deliberately wrote "Dinner with Xicheng" on her schedule card, ensuring her colleagues would misunderstand her relationship with Gu Xicheng. She then made a call, stating that she would treat Xicheng to dinner and planned to spend all her salary at Huayan to relieve her resentment.
