Unforgettable Love Episode 15 Recap
> Unforgettable Love Recap
Before his heart surgery, Qin Yiyue’s father lay in the hospital bed, displaying a surprising sense of humor. He lightened the mood by mentioning that Li still owed him 20 yuan from a card game, to which his wife scolded him for joking at such a serious time. He then said he was hungry, initially asking for wontons but then fearing he might die before surgery and waste them. Qin Yiyue's mother offered to make him millet porridge instead.
While his mother was out, Qin Yiyue’s father secretly gave her his bank card, revealing the password was his wife's birthday in reverse. He explained that it contained all the pocket money Yiyue had given him over the years, which he had diligently saved, along with his previous company's wages and his current pension. He expressed deep regret that Yiyue had married without a formal wedding and that he hadn't been able to provide her with a dowry.
He stressed that heart surgery was a serious matter, and he felt responsible to ensure his wife and daughter were cared for, even with an optimistic outlook. Yiyue was moved to tears, trying to refuse the card, but he insisted, saying it was a father's role to take care of his daughter, not the other way around. He lamented growing old too quickly and burdening her.
Yiyue promised to depend on him her whole life, and they made a pinkie promise. He then light-heartedly reminded her about Li's 20 yuan again. As the surgery began, Qin Yiyue and her mother waited anxiously, noting that three hours had already passed. He Qiaoyan soon arrived with Poppet, bringing comfort. He reassured Qin Yiyue’s mother, explaining that he had personally analyzed all the surgical data, which indicated a high success rate.
He detailed that the lead surgeon, Dr. Xu from GMN Medical Center, was a renowned cardiologist known as the "golden hand" in heart surgery, with a 97. 8% success rate and a dedicated team of over ten years. He Qiaoyan further added that he had arranged for an additional team of experts to provide real-time data monitoring, ensuring a double layer of security.
Qin Yiyue was deeply touched by his meticulous preparations, asking if he had done all this overnight, to which he simply replied that it was his responsibility. Poppet, also concerned, offered Yiyue a lollipop as a gesture of support. The surgery was a complete success. Later that night, Qin Yiyue, exhausted from worry, fell asleep by her father's hospital bed. He Qiaoyan, who was working nearby, noticed her sleeping and gently covered her with his jacket.
As he carefully tried to brush her hair away from her face, Yiyue, dreaming of "chicken feet," accidentally bit his finger. She woke up with a start, initially calling him a pervert, before realizing her father was awake and watching them with amusement, giving a "V" for victory sign. He Qiaoyan jokingly asked when a clause protecting his personal safety could be added to their contract, a suggestion Yiyue immediately refused.
Yiyue, seeing her father's joy, then joined He Qiaoyan in forming a heart sign back at him. The following day, He Qiaoyan's Aunt arrived at the hospital. She initially expressed disapproval, chastising He Qiaoyan for allowing a "stranger's illness" to disrupt his work. He Qiaoyan corrected her, stating it was his father-in-law. Although she suggested such matters could be handled by phone, he emphasized the importance of family presence and assured her his work was under control.
The Aunt then joined them in the ward, where Qin Yiyue’s parents warmly welcomed her, calling her "in-law." Qin Yiyue's mother, particularly effusive, praised He Qiaoyan's good looks, even speculating about how beautiful his and Yiyue’s future children would be. Wen Gu also arrived, bringing flowers as He Qiaoyan's best friend. He Qiaoyan, needing to attend to work, entrusted Wen Gu to stay and assist the family.
As He Qiaoyan and his Aunt were leaving, the Aunt observed Poppet’s affectionate interaction with Qin Yiyue’s parents. She questioned He Qiaoyan about Poppet's sudden closeness with strangers. He Qiaoyan attributed it to Yiyue's profession in child psychology, which naturally attracts children. However, the Aunt remained unconvinced, openly speculating that Yiyue might be intentionally getting close to Poppet. He Qiaoyan staunchly dismissed this, declaring it absolutely impossible.
Despite his assurance, the Aunt, unconvinced, later instructed an assistant to discreetly retrieve Qin Yiyue’s updated information, specifically focusing on any connections with Poppet, as she believed there were no simple coincidences in the world. Qin Yiyue later approached Wen Gu, thanking him for visiting her father. She then pressed him for information, mentioning photographs of a girl's silhouette she had seen in He Qiaoyan’s office.
She noted that she initially thought it was Lin Wei but now realized it wasn't. When Wen Gu was hesitant to divulge information, Yiyue cunningly used Ruowei as leverage, offering to trade information about her and joking that she would sell out her best friend without hesitation. Seizing the opportunity to learn more about Ruowei, Wen Gu quickly revealed that He Qiaoyan had been dreaming of a girl's silhouette for years and was determined to find her.
However, Wen Gu insisted that he believed such a girl "definitely doesn't exist," a point Yiyue seemed to ponder with some doubt. He Qiaoyan received a phone call from Qin Yiyue’s mother, urging him to come to the hospital. He rushed over, fearing an emergency, only to find the room crowded with Qin Yiyue’s relatives. Yiyue quickly warned him that they were likely there for him, and together they navigated the awkward situation.
Relatives clamored for selfies, and one even tried to get her daughter, a veterinary student specializing in horses, a job at He Qiaoyan’s company, to which he politely suggested the Agricultural Academy. Just then, Ruowei and Ning Fang arrived. To help Yiyue escape the throng, Ruowei suggested that He Qiaoyan and Ning Fang go move several boxes of fruit that had arrived.
In the hospital elevator, He Qiaoyan meticulously observed Ning Fang, noting his clean yet oily skin, a common wood fragrance, and comfortable Japanese-brand T-shirt, along with his well-maintained nails smelling of hospital sanitizer. He even deduced Ning Fang's body fat percentage. He Qiaoyan then haughtily told Ning Fang to refrain from speaking in the confined space, as his breath caused uncomfortable air currents.
Outside the elevator, they comically debated how to fairly divide the three 3-kilogram boxes of fruit before deciding to use a cart together. Meanwhile, Ruowei found Qin Yiyue and reiterated that He Qiaoyan considered the childhood engagement promise a joke. However, she warned Yiyue that Lin Wei clearly took it seriously, making a high-profile return and joining He’s Group, essentially declaring herself "the real one."
Ruowei stressed that "love affairs are like a battlefield" and advised Yiyue to be more strategic. Suddenly, Lin Wei appeared, announcing an urgent company matter regarding a deadlock between the R&D department and Lucas over a new wristband design. He Qiaoyan excused himself, telling Yiyue he had to leave immediately. Before leaving, Lin Wei pointedly told Yiyue that her father's illness had significantly impacted He Qiaoyan's busy work schedule, especially with the wristband project.
She warned Yiyue not to disturb his work further, or she would intervene. This interaction left Yiyue furious, and Ning Fang, observing her reaction, concluded that Yiyue was genuinely falling for He Qiaoyan. Back at her office, Ruowei was dismayed to find her disreputable brother casually sitting at her desk. She confronted him, demanding he leave, even threatening to call security. He eventually complied, but once outside, immediately began badgering her for money.
He initially asked for 200,000 yuan, claiming a friend's business venture had failed and cost him money. He layered this with other needs, including money for home renovations, their mother's living expenses, and his upcoming wedding. Ruowei saw through his elaborate lies, mocking his claim of a girlfriend and questioning why the house needed renovating yearly.
She urged him to find a legitimate job to support the family, but he retorted that she earned more and should share the family's burden. During this heated argument, Wen Gu, who happened to be nearby, intervened, mistakenly believing Ruowei's brother was a "greasy" stalker harassing her. He dramatically declared his love for Ruowei, calling her "baby" and vowing to protect her, only to be left embarrassed when Ruowei clarified that the man was her biological brother.
Later, while tidying her bathroom, Ruowei accidentally knocked over a box and discovered a long-lost diamond ring, which smelled faintly of air freshener. She dramatically presented it to Qin Yiyue, explaining that this ring, given by He Qiaoyan, was a clear "symbol of Mrs. He's status."
Ruowei passionately declared that its reappearance was a divine sign, urging Yiyue to "exercise her rights as Mrs. He, strike like thunder, repel invading enemies, and safeguard her man," especially as her father was about to be discharged and she needed to confront her "emotional crisis." Yiyue acknowledged it was He Qiaoyan’s ring but remained somewhat passive.
Upon discharge, Qin Yiyue’s father joyfully declared, "One will have good fortune if he survived great danger," and immediately asked about Li’s 20 yuan again. Qin Yiyue’s mother teased him, saying Li was waiting to play 300 rounds with him after he recovered, and also insisted he start running daily due to his lack of exercise.
Her father comically complained about wanting to enjoy himself before he died, lamenting he'd miss seeing his granddaughter otherwise, to which Yiyue playfully assured him he'd live for a hundred more years. Qin Yiyue’s parents wondered why He Qiaoyan wasn't there for the discharge, but just as Yiyue explained she didn't want to disturb his busy schedule, He Qiaoyan arrived with Poppet and a bouquet of flowers, apologizing for being on a conference call. He then drove the family home.
At dinner, the family shared a harmonious meal. Qin Yiyue's mother, trying to encourage Poppet, asked him to call her "grandma," and to everyone's delight, Poppet surprisingly did. He then called Qin Yiyue's father "grandpa." Everyone was thrilled, but when He Qiaoyan tried to get Poppet to call him "daddy," Poppet defiantly refused. Yiyue playfully teased He Qiaoyan, telling him he "needs to keep trying" as a father.
Mid-meal, He Qiaoyan received a phone call from Lin Wei, informing him that Mr. Jia wished to meet them at the hotel where his company's evening banquet was being held, to discuss a potential collaboration. He Qiaoyan received the hotel's location and, excusing himself due to the urgent business, took Poppet and left, promising to arrive before the banquet concluded.
Qin Yiyue, overhearing the conversation, grew visibly jealous and upset, questioning why such a meeting needed to happen at a hotel and why she, as his wife, hadn't been informed about the dinner. Fueled by jealousy and concern about her "backyard on fire," Qin Yiyue immediately rushed to Ruowei's apartment. She burst in, demanding Ruowei's "battle armor"—a formal evening gown and makeup.
Ruowei, hearing the details—He Qiaoyan and Lin Wei meeting at a hotel for a company dinner that night—understood Yiyue's "tier 1 alert." She warned Yiyue that Lin Wei was a formidable opponent and that Yiyue needed to prepare, offering her own professional makeup and a black evening gown. Yiyue, feeling transformed, called Ruowei her "fairy godmother," joking that all she needed now was a "pumpkin cart."
Ruowei replied, "You can have it," and promptly called Ning Fang to drive Yiyue to the hotel, explaining it was the evening rush and taxis were hard to find. Arriving at the hotel, Qin Yiyue entered an elevator. She noticed a man struggling to get a phone signal and mistakenly thought he was trying to secretly take photos of her.
Believing him to be a pervert, she aggressively grabbed him by his collar, insisting on taking him to the police station. It was only when he was addressed by name that she realized, to her utter embarrassment, that she had accosted Mr. Jia, the very business partner He Qiaoyan was there to meet.
