Unforgettable Love Episode 4 Recap
> Unforgettable Love Recap
Qin Yiyue clarified to her friend that her acceptance of He Qiaoyan's proposal was merely a performance to get back at her ex-boyfriend, Zhou Ziyang. He Qiaoyan had explicitly stated his intention to be her "better new boyfriend" to help her "make her ex eat humble pie" and even named the new "Yiyue Building" after her as a "gift, and a token of their love."
However, Qin Yiyue secretly intended to return the ring, wanting them "to not owe each other anything." While bathing, Qin Yiyue carelessly threw the valuable diamond ring aside. Her friend, Ruowei, then accidentally flushed it down the toilet while testing a new toilet deodorant. They frantically tried to retrieve it, but it was gone.
Qin Yiyue panicked, realizing that the "big diamond ring" of "at least 10 carats" was incredibly expensive, and she "can't afford that even if you sell me." The news of the proposal quickly went viral, with Qin Yiyue's phone receiving countless calls and her social media buzzing with "over three million comments," many exclaiming she "must've saved the universe in her previous life." She even had a nightmare about He Qiaoyan demanding the ring.
Later, He Qiaoyan called her to announce a "project reward" for Xiaobao's successful treatment, which Qin Yiyue cynically viewed as her "first indemnity fund for the ring." Wen Gu confronted He Qiaoyan, questioning his serious approach to the proposal. He Qiaoyan asserted that for him, "marriage is just adding a name. . . to the spouse column," and he "doesn't care" who that name is, stating, "All is for Xiaobao."
He then detailed plans for a professional team to organize an "engagement banquet and wedding ceremony" within a month, and mentioned a "big present" for Qin Yiyue. At the unveiling of the "Yiyue Building," many onlookers were captivated by He Qiaoyan's "public demonstration of love."
Qin Yiyue, however, found it an "embarrassing" public shaming and confronted He Qiaoyan, reminding him that the building was a donation and he "merely named it after me," accusing him of trying to "make a fool of me." She challenged him about the "fake news" of their marriage, but He Qiaoyan insisted the "proposal is true" and he "mean[s] it."
He provocatively asked if she was "afraid that after being with me all the time, you'll fall in love with me," to which she vehemently responded, "I'll never fall in love with you." Undeterred, He Qiaoyan suggested they "have a try," reminding her that "everyone in Qin City knows that I am your fiance." He reiterated that Xiaobao is his "most important client" and he "will do anything to get what he wants," promising, "I'll make you agree."
While Wen Gu and Xiaobao were out buying milk tea, they encountered Qingqing. Qingqing spitefully mocked Qin Yiyue for becoming "Xiaobao's stepmother," cynically labeling it a "textbook doctor-patient relationship." Wen Gu defended Qin Yiyue, calling Qingqing "ugly inside," while Xiaobao likened her to an "evil queen." After a subtle exchange, Xiaobao and Wen Gu decided to teach her a lesson.
Later, as Qingqing and Zhou Ziyang walked into a room, Xiaobao released a cake on a rope, splattering it directly onto Qingqing's head and making a mess of both of them. He Qiaoyan attempted to drink from Qin Yiyue's water glass, and during their playful struggle, he noticed her ring was missing. Qin Yiyue, visibly flustered, claimed it was "at home."
He Qiaoyan, with a serious tone, warned her, "I hope that's the truth," stressing that the "15-carat diamond ring is the only heirloom of the He family," custom-made by Swedish Royal designers, "quite expensive," and "not suitable for everyday wear." Qin Yiyue tried to excuse herself to find Xiaobao and Xiao'an, but He Qiaoyan told her to call them instead. Upon calling Xiao'an, Qin Yiyue discovered they were in the "sixth floor ward area" bathroom, having caused "trouble."
It was revealed that after Qingqing and Zhou Ziyang went to shower to clean up the cake mess, Wen Gu and Xiaobao had stolen their clothes, leaving them embarrassed in front of hospital staff. Qingqing and Zhou Ziyang mistakenly believed Qin Yiyue was behind this prank. Qin Yiyue, frustrated, reflected on how unlucky she was and her inability to pay for the lost ring.
While Qin Yiyue, Ruowei, and Xiao'an were dining out, they were hounded by people filming them, who commented on Qin Yiyue being "famous overnight" for attracting "the dream guy of all the girls in this city." Qin Yiyue cleverly turned the tables by filming the paparazzi back, making them leave.
Concurrently, He Qiaoyan lectured Xiaobao, urging him to "put yourself in her shoes" and consider Qin Yiyue's feelings, as He Qiaoyan often had to "clean up your mess" after his pranks. He sent Xiaobao to his room to "reflect on it." Wen Gu expressed his frustration to He Qiaoyan, explaining that his father was "shocked" by He Qiaoyan's "high-profile marriage."
As a result, his father forced him on blind dates and replaced all his female employees with men, decreeing that the next woman he embraced "can only be my wife." Feeling desperate, Wen Gu went to a bar to "pick up girls," where he ran into Ruowei. Ruowei, recognizing him as "another scum," sabotaged his attempts to flirt.
She then offered him her "special cocktail," warning him it was known for being so strong that "just one is enough to get you drunk." Wen Gu passed out after one drink, and Ruowei arranged for a taxi to take him to the "nearest hotel," leaving money on his chest. Wen Gu woke up to find the money and was outraged by her actions. While walking, Qin Yiyue noticed a cat trapped high in a tree.
As she rescued it, her smart bracelet fell off. He Qiaoyan, alerted by the bracelet's "danger" signal, immediately set out to find her, assuring Xiaobao he would "not let your mother get into trouble." He found Qin Yiyue's door locked and the password changed. Meanwhile, Qin Yiyue nearly fell from the tree but was caught by her university senior, Ning Fang, who had "just came back" from abroad.
Ning Fang playfully commented on her appearance and, after finding her bracelet unharmed but out of power, invited her to his "new psychological clinic" nearby to examine the cat. His clinic was a haven for rescued cats, and after confirming the cat was merely "a little malnourished," Qin Yiyue decided to leave it in his care, promising to visit daily.
Ning Fang confessed that seeing her was the "first thing I wanted to do" upon his return and acknowledged her past relationship with Zhou Ziyang, stating, "it's all over." He Qiaoyan, waiting outside Qin Yiyue's home, saw her arrive with Ning Fang.
After Ning Fang introduced himself as "Yiyue's senior," He Qiaoyan thanked him for bringing his "fiancee" back, then possessively told Qin Yiyue to "pay attention to your image" as "Xiaobao's mom," and not to "get too close to other people." Qin Yiyue again refused to marry him, dismissing him as a "conceited and presumptuous eccentric."
Back home, He Qiaoyan instructed his team to address "unfriendly articles" about Qin Yiyue online, which accused her of seducing him or using him to advance her career. He ordered legal action against these "Internet trolls." Later, at the "Yiyue Building," He Qiaoyan overheard people spreading rumors about Qin Yiyue.
He publicly defended her by enumerating her impressive credentials: graduating from the best medical school with a full scholarship, dual bachelor's degrees, national research awards, international journal publications, and being the hospital's youngest attending physician with the highest patient count, "No misdiagnosis, no absence." He asserted, "my wife isn't called 'that woman.'
She has a name, Qin Yiyue," and humbly stated, "it is not that she depends on me, but that I'm fortunate enough to be able to depend on her." Qin Yiyue felt an inexplicable pang in her chest, which she rationalized as a physical reaction. At the hospital, Qin Yiyue thanked He Qiaoyan for clearing up the online rumors and for his apology, and He Qiaoyan admitted that she was "the first" person to ever make him do so.
Despite this, she firmly reiterated that marriage was "impossible," suggesting they should "at least try dating before getting married." He Qiaoyan countered by reminding her that her "serious relationship with Zhou Ziyang for several years" still didn't lead to marriage, implying that dating wasn't a prerequisite. His words seemed to sow doubt in Qin Yiyue's mind. Later that evening, while contemplating He Qiaoyan's words, her doorbell rang. To her astonishment, her parents arrived unannounced.
They had learned of her "engagement" through a WeChat public account and had even been congratulated for "joining the upper class" by their square dance group. Her mother expressed concern, fearing that He Qiaoyan was an "idle dandy" using "every means to attract her" with grand gestures like proposals and buildings. She cautioned Qin Yiyue against marrying "for the sake of marriage," warning it would lead to unhappiness.
Qin Yiyue tried to reassure them, explaining that her engagement to He Qiaoyan was "fake," merely a performance to "make Zhou Ziyang angry." Her parents, still skeptical, decided to extend their stay to investigate the situation further.
