Well Dominated Love Episode 23 Recap
> Well Dominated Love Recap
Yan Jingzhi meticulously arranged a secret proposal plan with a professional agency, visualizing a romantic scene with Nie Xingchen. He told Nie Xingchen to change her clothes, planning to take her to Fantasy Town, which he heard was a popular dating spot, and revealed he had already rescheduled all his meetings for this. To his surprise, Nie Xingchen suggested they take the bus, reminiscing about their college days. Although initially hesitant, Yan Jingzhi agreed.
After waiting for an hour at the bus stop, they discovered that bus route 23 had been suspended. Yan Jingzhi then suggested they walk, revealing he knew a shortcut and even playfully carried Nie Xingchen for a stretch. Along the way, Nie Xingchen admitted she had actually intended to visit Fantasy Town for a company project assessment, as their future resorts might include similar entertainment complexes.
Yan Jingzhi sighed, confessing he wasn't good at creating surprises and asked her directly what she truly desired. Nie Xingchen simply replied, "I like you." Hearing this, Yan Jingzhi immediately knelt, explaining that his previous proposal had failed, and while he had planned to propose in the town, he found he couldn't wait another moment. He then asked Nie Xingchen to spend the rest of her life with him, and she happily accepted.
Later that evening, after they returned home and shared a passionate embrace, Yan Jingzhi abruptly stopped, claiming an urgent video conference. He then retreated to the living room to drink alone, haunted by the fear that he might awaken the next day and forget Nie Xingchen again due to his amnesia. The following morning, Nie Xingchen's colleagues in the President's office immediately noticed the engagement ring on her finger.
They eagerly congratulated her, curious about the proposal details and sharing how Yan Jingzhi had even enlisted their help to scout locations for the surprise. Nie Xingchen offered a brief, vague account of a beautiful setting. Soon after, Huang Tao announced that Yan Jingzhi was going on a business trip to Beijing and required him to accompany him.
Some colleagues speculated that Yan Jingzhi was deliberately putting distance between himself and Nie Xingchen, afraid of getting too intimate and causing her undue stress, all due to his amnesia. Later, Nie Xingchen discovered Yan Jingzhi's private diary and read his deepest fears: his terror of forgetting her if they became too close. Determined to confront his fears, Nie Xingchen surprised him in a seductive nightgown, playfully asking if he was hiding someone.
Yan Jingzhi, however, insisted he had work to do, then unexpectedly wrapped her tightly in a blanket, rendering her immobile, before feigning a return to his work in the living room. Soon after, Mother Ye, Yan Jingzhi's mother, returned to Jinghai. Nie Xingchen went to pick her up and later accompanied her on a shopping trip.
During their outing, Mother Ye affectionately encouraged Nie Xingchen to start calling her "Mom" and requested that Nie Xingchen arrange a meeting with her parents in Jinghai soon to officially finalize the wedding arrangements, expressing her desire for a grandchild by the following year. That evening, Yan Jingzhi returned home to find Nie Xingchen waiting for him. Playfully tipsy, she tackled him onto the sofa, confessing she had read his diary and understood his fears.
She bravely encouraged him to take a "gamble" with her, asserting that she had already taken the initiative. Yan Jingzhi did not refuse her. The next morning, Yan Jingzhi humorously pretended to have amnesia, asking Nie Xingchen who she was. She playfully scolded him, showing him his diary, their photo, and the engagement ring, reminding him not to joke about such serious matters. Yan Jingzhi then admitted they had "won the bet."
Their sweet cohabitation began, with Yan Jingzhi even playfully tying Nie Xingchen's hair and imagining a future daughter. Later, both sets of parents met for dinner, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Mother Ye assured Nie Xingchen's parents that she would not interfere with the couple's life after marriage.
Nie Xingchen's father, initially concerned about the hurried wedding plans, was reassured by Yan Jingzhi, who passionately expressed his desire to be Nie Xingchen's husband for the rest of his life and take good care of her. Convinced, Nie Xingchen's father accepted Yan Jingzhi as his son-in-law, and Nie Xingchen affectionately began calling them "Dad" and "Mom." The wedding date was left for the couple to decide.
Yan Jingzhi meticulously managed every detail of their wedding preparations, while Nie Xingchen continued to oversee various company affairs. During their wedding photo shoot, which was allotted only three hours, Nie Xingchen's work phone constantly rang. While Yan Jingzhi was giving detailed instructions to the photographer, the frustrated wedding planners approached Nie Xingchen.
They explained that Yan Jingzhi was their most demanding client, having revised the decor plan twelve times, and pleaded with her to persuade him to be less strict. Later, in the car, Nie Xingchen attempted to reason with Yan Jingzhi, suggesting that the current plan was already perfect and urging him to relax his stringent requirements so the preparations could proceed smoothly.
However, Yan Jingzhi retorted that she was being too lenient and found his own standards still a bit over the top, expressing concern about the trouble of postponing a wedding whose date had already been announced. Nie Xingchen accused him of not caring about their wedding, but he insisted he trusted her to handle things. That night, Nie Xingchen found Yan Jingzhi still meticulously reviewing wedding details.
She invited him to dance, reminding him that he had chosen her engagement ring because she preferred a low-key style. She explained that while she valued their wedding, they had already built something "more important" between them. After both apologized for their earlier misunderstandings, they decided to finalize all the wedding plans together that very night, choosing a photo for their invitation that captured them looking lovingly into each other's eyes.
Nie Xingchen later wore a breathtaking custom-made wedding dress, a special gift from Mother Ye who had commissioned an Italian designer. Tong Xin and Zhen Nian were captivated by its beauty, prompting Nie Xingchen to suggest they also try on wedding gowns. Soon after, Zhao Yuanfang and Yan Jingzhi arrived at the bridal shop.
Yan Jingzhi was immediately struck by Nie Xingchen's beauty, praising his mother's excellent taste, and adding that his own taste was even better, as his bride was the most beautiful. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanfang eagerly looked for Zhen Nian, and Han Ziyu admired Tong Xin, as the group took numerous photos. During Nie Xingchen and Yan Jingzhi's grand wedding, many colleagues from the President's office, including Sun Yang, served as groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Zhao Yuanfang and Han Ziyu, both groomsmen, engaged in playful banter, each championing the beauty of Zhen Nian and Tong Xin, respectively. Sun Yang, visibly moved by the couple's love, teared up, a sentiment his colleagues teased him for. Later, as the traditional wedding games began, Yan Jingzhi expressed his impatience with the lengthy procedures to the wedding planner, asserting his desire to quickly finish and embark on their honeymoon to start a family.
He challenged the planner to speed things up, even jokingly threatening his career. For the gate-crashing game, Yan Jingzhi gathered his groomsmen, including Zhao Yuanfang and Han Ziyu, to help him breach the door where Nie Xingchen and her bridesmaids, Tong Xin and Zhen Nian, were waiting. Zhao Yuanfang revealed that Zhen Nian would secretly help them from the inside.
After a playful negotiation involving red envelopes, the bridesmaids presented Yan Jingzhi with five red strings, challenging him to pick the one attached to Nie Xingchen's hand. He failed twice, enduring humorous forfeits, before finally succeeding. Inside, Nie Xingchen presented him with another challenge: finding her shoe among several. He quickly found it, then knelt before her once more. Nie Xingchen teasingly asked, "Are you marrying me or not?" To which Yan Jingzhi, determined, declared, "Yes!" He then triumphantly carried her out.
