Unforgettable Love Episode 2 Recap
> Unforgettable Love Recap
Following the viral video incident, Qin Yiyue found herself face-to-face with He Qiaoyan once more, realizing he was not only the man whose tie she had cut but also Poppet's father. He Qiaoyan, in turn, accused her of orchestrating the entire livestream for personal gain, highlighting his company's severe financial and reputational damages while she remained unscathed. Qin Yiyue vehemently denied his accusations.
She then demanded 200 yuan as compensation for her ruined hairstyle, emphasizing that "for us girls, you can kill us, but you can't mess up our hair," and firmly refusing any more money. As He Qiaoyan prepared to leave with Poppet, he warned his son about "weird aunties" being everywhere. However, Poppet, defying his father, handed Qin Yiyue a card expressing his desire to be her friend and even his personal doctor.
Later that night, Poppet held a toy gun to his father, staging a silent protest until He Qiaoyan agreed to let Qin Yiyue be his psychologist. Compelled by Poppet's unwavering resolve, He Qiaoyan instructed his secretary to gather all of Qin Yiyue's background information.
Wen Shun, He Qiaoyan's friend, expressed his bewilderment, wondering who this "fairy" could be to melt the "two ice-cold men" of the He family, as Poppet, who typically avoided physical contact, had shown such an unusual affinity for Qin Yiyue. He Qiaoyan’s detailed analysis revealed more disadvantages than advantages to hiring her, noting her ordinary background, lack of overseas education, and limited clinical experience, describing her as temperamental and emotionally unstable.
Despite these reservations, he admitted Qin Yiyue was "quite unusual." Wen Shun, observing Poppet's strong preference, praised the child's keen judgment, remarking that he was "smart, just like his father, and knows how to judge a person." Ultimately, for Poppet's sake, He Qiaoyan decided to hire Qin Yiyue. However, Qin Yiyue rejected his initial offer, citing her vacation.
He Qiaoyan then attempted to send her a formal email, but Wen Shun, believing He Qiaoyan was too rigid, modified it to include his "handsome private photos" and a more romantic tone. Qin Yiyue, upon receiving it, found it narcissistic and promptly deleted it, dismissing He Qiaoyan as a "psychopath and narcissist." Undeterred, He Qiaoyan called her, introducing himself as the CEO of He's Group. Qin Yiyue, mistaking it for a phone scam, hung up immediately.
His next attempt involved visiting her at the hospital with a briefcase full of cash. Qin Yiyue felt deeply offended and demanded he leave. Wen Shun later advised He Qiaoyan to "understand her, analyze her, and go into her heart," suggesting tactics from the "overbearing CEO" romance novels Qin Yiyue enjoyed reading. Following this advice, He Qiaoyan sent her numerous gifts, which Qin Yiyue found "stupid."
He then tried to pick her up from work, using cheesy lines about giving her whatever she wanted. Qin Yiyue, once again, thought he was a robber and sped away on her motorcycle. Frustrated with Wen Shun's "impractical" methods, He Qiaoyan decided to devise his own plan. He Qiaoyan waited outside Qin Yiyue's apartment. Hearing cries for help from a nearby alley, Qin Yiyue rushed to the aid of a young girl being harassed by thugs.
He Qiaoyan stepped in to help, protecting Qin Yiyue from a blow and injuring his wrist in the process. Back at her apartment, Qin Yiyue bandaged his wound. As they both bent to pick up a dropped medicine bottle, their eyes met, and a subtle romantic tension filled the air. He Qiaoyan then playfully demanded repayment for saving her, but Qin Yiyue simply handed him a lollipop.
He declared her "his person" and proposed a pinky promise to seal their agreement. Qin Yiyue, however, jokingly corrected him, stating that she was "his future boss." During a subsequent meeting at his company, He Qiaoyan appeared distracted, questioning his manager about effective recruitment strategies for a desirable individual. The manager suggested that, much like in a relationship, He Qiaoyan should convey not just professional recognition but a genuine willingness to "live and grow together."
Meanwhile, He Qiaoyan was caught secretly scrolling through Qin Yiyue's social media and accidentally "liked" one of her posts. Determined to win her over, he baked a cake himself. Faced with heavy traffic, he carried Poppet on a crowded rapid bus transit to reach a hospital children's tea party where Qin Yiyue was also present. Qin Yiyue was genuinely touched by his homemade cake.
During a playful shooting game, He Qiaoyan subtly helped her aim, causing a flutter in her heart. Later, while reviewing Poppet's medical records, Qin Yiyue discovered that his birthday was in two days. He Qiaoyan's company was developing new "Catch Love" health bracelets for couples, designed to monitor health and location. He initially offered one to Wen Shun for testing, but then withdrew it, jokingly stating that Wen Shun lacked "a normal, mature adult's mind" for the task.
When Qin Yiyue gently asked Poppet about his birthday wishes, he unexpectedly became agitated and threw objects, losing control. He Qiaoyan explained to Qin Yiyue that five years ago, on Poppet's birthday, they both lost their closest family members. This traumatic event led to Poppet developing PTSD, causing him to stop speaking and avoid strangers. Despite consulting many doctors, He Qiaoyan had found no satisfactory solution.
Qin Yiyue proposed celebrating Poppet's birthday again, believing that since the birthday was a "trigger," it could also be "the first breakthrough to rebuild his trust system." Qin Yiyue felt deep sympathy for Poppet, assuming He Qiaoyan had been secretly married and was mourning a lost beloved. They agreed to prepare for Poppet's birthday together. Qin Yiyue officially agreed to become Poppet's private doctor and signed a short-term cooperation agreement at He Qiaoyan's company.
She reiterated her refusal of the generous fee, sticking to her demand for hotpot. He Qiaoyan then had a hotpot meal delivered to the office for them to share while they discussed details. Later, as He Qiaoyan drove Qin Yiyue home and she dozed off in the car, he secretly placed one of the "Catch Love" health bracelets on her wrist, keeping the matching one for himself.
Back home, He Qiaoyan discovered notes from Poppet plastered everywhere, declaring, "I don't want to celebrate my birthday." However, when He Qiaoyan mentioned that Qin Yiyue would be joining them for dinner, Poppet immediately changed his mind. The next morning, Qin Yiyue woke up feeling unwell. He Qiaoyan's bracelet, connected to hers, alerted him to her slight fever and lack of sleep. He abruptly halted his meeting and called Qin Yiyue, urging her to take medicine.
Qin Yiyue explained that she was allergic to cold medicine, as it made her drowsy, and she couldn't afford to miss work. She had instead taken Vitamin C. Growing concerned, He Qiaoyan rushed to her apartment. Meanwhile, feeling exhausted and sore from her fever, Qin Yiyue decided to take a bath, but her condition worsened, causing her to pass out and slide into the water.
Outside, He Qiaoyan tried to guess her door password, noticing fingerprint smudges on the "6, 7, 0" buttons. He then recalled Qin Yiyue mentioning her birthday in June and desperately tried to connect it to the password.
