Time To Fall In Love Episode 19 Recap
> Time To Fall In Love Recap
Gu Xicheng brought Su Yanxi home, where she was visibly distraught, recalling how Fu Boya had nearly exposed her true identity and almost shattered her happiness. She embraced Gu Xicheng tightly, expressing her confusion and grief. She questioned why Fu Boya had acted so foolishly, taking everything upon himself and ultimately failing to protect himself. Gu Xicheng comforted her, suggesting that perhaps, for Fu Boya, it was a form of relief.
He then urged her to rest and offered to handle responsibilities, telling her to call him if she needed anything. Meanwhile, Situ, having found a letter from Fu Boya addressed to Nangong Liuli at the recent event, opened it after taking An'an home. Reading its contents, he discovered the truth about Su Yanxi's identity. The next day, An'an, acting on Situ's behalf, met with Su Yanxi and immediately conveyed that Situ knew everything.
She explained that at the recent press conference, Fu Boya and Nangong had intended to reveal Su Yanxi's true identity, and the folder containing information about both Su Yanxi and He Jinxi had fallen into Situ's hands. An'an pressed Su Yanxi for an explanation for her actions. Su Yanxi acknowledged that An'an knew the truth, and then shared her fears, explaining that He Jinxi had taken their mother abroad to use her as leverage.
She tearfully pleaded with Situ not to tell Gu Xicheng, promising that once her mother was safe and she could meet her, she would confess everything to Gu Xicheng herself, regardless of his reaction. She stated that she simply couldn't risk her mother's safety before then.
In another part of the world, He Jinxi, having successfully undergone plastic surgery, was informed by her friend Steven that their joint futures investment had failed, resulting in a loss of all their money and a debt of over 400,000 euros to the bank. He Jinxi was furious, reminding Steven of his promise to double their investment, but he simply stated her assets were already mortgaged and wished her good luck.
Later, seeing a news headline proclaiming Gu Xicheng as a "super fan of his wife," He Jinxi reacted with surprise at Su Yanxi's perceived capabilities. An'an, understanding Su Yanxi's difficult situation, tried to comfort her, suggesting there might still be hope before He Jinxi's return. Su Yanxi, however, urged An'an to prioritize her relationship with Situ, expressing her regret if her problems caused any misunderstandings between them. An'an reassured Su Yanxi that Situ was reliable and wouldn't betray her secret.
Later, An'an approached Situ, thanking him for his difficult promise to keep the secret from Gu Xicheng. Situ admitted to struggling with his conscience, which An'an understood, reminding him that sincerity and trust were essential in a relationship. Situ acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, stating he needed time to figure out how to act normal around Gu Xicheng and how to face An'an herself.
An'an, recognizing his turmoil, suggested they both take some time to reflect and cool off, proposing they not see each other for a while. Situ reluctantly agreed. At the hospital, He Jinxi's mother was shocked by her daughter's drastically altered appearance, asking why she had changed her entire face instead of just a simple repair. He Jinxi cut her off, confirming the successful surgery and her mother's upcoming discharge.
Her mother expressed worry about He Jinxi, but He Jinxi coldly dismissed it, stating she had always taken care of herself and didn't need her mother's concern. When her mother asked to contact Yanxi, He Jinxi responded with resentment, claiming her mother only cared about Su Yanxi. She then left, stating she would arrange the discharge. Nangong Liuli found Su Yanxi to bid farewell.
She announced that she was leaving to fulfill Fu Boya's last wish, returning to the place where they first met, and that she would likely be there indefinitely. She asked Su Yanxi to convey her goodbyes to Gu Xicheng, as she preferred not to say farewell to him personally. Nangong Liuli reflected on her past, acknowledging her unwise choices and her mistaken belief that academic and career achievements would make her worthy to stand by Gu Xicheng and co-manage Huayan.
She realized that while everything else could be calculated, human emotions and love could not. She expressed her regret for betraying Fu Boya's love and her desire not to spend the rest of her life pursuing an unrequited love, feeling it would be a disservice to Fu Boya's sacrifice.
Su Yanxi, who now knew Nangong Liuli was aware of her true identity, thanked her for not exposing the truth to the media and wished her well, hoping she would find her true self and a happy life, a wish she believed Fu Boya would also share. Nangong Liuli thanked Su Yanxi in return and wished her and Gu Xicheng to overcome all obstacles and cherish each other.
She then apologized for her past impulsive and hurtful actions toward Su Yanxi before departing, wishing her happiness. Back with Gu Xicheng, Su Yanxi was still visibly preoccupied. He noticed her absent-mindedness, even when she mistakenly handed him sugar packets instead of tea bags. Assuming she was still saddened by Fu Boya's death, Gu Xicheng offered comfort, explaining that while some things are uncontrollable, they should cherish their loved ones.
He reiterated that despite their mistakes, Fu Boya and Nangong were not bad people, and he would remember Fu Boya as a friend. Su Yanxi, still burdened by her secret, tentatively asked if he would forgive her if she ever made a mistake. Gu Xicheng immediately responded, "That won't happen."
He then passionately declared that no matter what she did, or what mistakes she made, his love would remain unchanged, promising to always love, spoil, and protect her, emphasizing that love was his heart and everything about her. Overwhelmed by his unwavering affection, Su Yanxi thanked him. Su Yanxi then brought up a work issue for Huayan Group, explaining that despite new R&D and her design contributions, the new product series' sales had unexpectedly dropped by 5. 6%.
Gu Xicheng, confident in his ability to help, accompanied her to an offline cosmetics store for market research. Su Yanxi explained her usual method of observing popular product categories and sales trends to ensure their online promotions stayed current. Gu Xicheng was impressed by her insights. However, when he attempted to quickly take photos of products with his phone, the clicking sound alerted the store staff.
Su Yanxi quickly grabbed Gu Xicheng, and they made a hasty exit as store employees tried to stop them. Later, while Su Yanxi waited for Gu Xicheng at a cafe, a child approached her, calling her "the most beautiful and lovely lady in the world" and delivering a bouquet of flowers along with a note. Su Yanxi realized this was Gu Xicheng's arrangement, and the note invited her to a private candlelight dinner.
She arrived at the Western restaurant dressed in Hanfu, to Gu Xicheng's delight, who remarked on her seriousness. She playfully confirmed she would always attend his invitations with elegance. Gu Xicheng confessed that his even number obsession was not fully cured, but he was working to overcome it for her, attributing his progress to her presence.
They then promised to stay together forever, and Su Yanxi reminded him of his past words about trusting and relying on each other through anything. Gu Xicheng presented her with a custom-made jade hairpin, explaining it symbolized their pure love and his admiration for her in Hanfu. He then professed his love for her. Su Yanxi, facing his fervent emotions, was still overwhelmed and found herself unable to confess her secret.
Meanwhile, Situ visited a psychologist, who noted that he still missed An'an, felt anxious, and even angry at himself, despite believing she did nothing wrong. The psychologist informed Situ that his intimacy disorder was completely healed, as his emotional reactions were now normal for someone experiencing the complexities of love, and he no longer needed therapy.
Finally, Su Yanxi received a phone call from He Jinxi, who remarked on Su Yanxi's seemingly good life and sarcastically questioned if their mother still mattered to her. Su Yanxi insisted they talk face-to-face. He Jinxi taunted her, warning that wherever she appeared, Su Yanxi would lose everything. Moments later, He Jinxi slowly walked towards Su Yanxi. Su Yanxi stared, initially disbelieving, before finally recognizing her sister and exclaiming, "He Jinxi! Your face. . ."
