> Well-Intended Love S2 Recap
As Xia Lin was selecting a gown for the red carpet with Miss Jiang's assistance, Ling Yizhou arrived. Xia Lin asked for his opinion on several dresses, but none of them satisfied him. He then selected a conservative black gown for her. Xia Lin worried it might be too understated, but Ling Yizhou embraced her from behind, assuring her that black is always a red carpet classic.
He added that the dress's material and perfect tailoring would enhance her delicate features. Xia Lin playfully accused him of being intentional, which he readily admitted, stating his desire for everyone to know they were married. He then produced a beautiful necklace, placing it on her. Xia Lin hesitated, noting they hadn't discussed wedding plans and preferred not to be so public yet.
However, Ling Yizhou insisted she couldn't escape and that the whole world would soon know she was his bride. Meanwhile, Chu Yan was taking photos when Xiaoyou quietly followed him. Upon being discovered, she turned to run, accidentally colliding with a man and falling to the ground. The man offered to help her up, but Xiaoyou quickly recoiled and gestured him away. Chu Yan rushed over, questioning the man's intentions.
The man explained it was just an accidental collision and he only meant to help her. Chu Yan helped Xiaoyou up and asked if she was alright, to which Xiaoyou confirmed she was fine. He then asked what she was doing there, and Xiaoyou expressed surprise that he still remembered her. Chu Yan replied that their first meeting was too special to forget. Xiaoyou offered to treat him to a meal as thanks, but he politely declined.
Ling Yizhou then escorted Xia Lin down the red carpet. Reporters clamored, asking about their wedding plans, and Xia Lin replied that they were enjoying the present and would let nature take its course. Suddenly, a reporter aggressively questioned Ling Yizhou about Ling Corporation's alleged harboring of a real murderer, causing a stir among the crowd.
The reporter pressed further, reminding Ling Yizhou of the incident where Ling Corporation supposedly found a scapegoat and noting that the victim, Yao Liang, was an old acquaintance of Xia Lin. The reporter then questioned if Xia Lin was aware of these events. Miss Jiang secretly smirked as Xia Lin stood stunned.
Ling Yizhou warned the reporters against asking questions based on false information, stating that Ling Corporation would pursue legal action against those responsible, before swiftly taking Xia Lin away from the press. As they left the red carpet, Xia Lin questioned Ling Yizhou about the incident, and he suggested it might be a malicious attempt to defame Ling Corporation. Xia Lin proposed they visit Yao Liang, hoping to clarify the situation with his mother directly.
At the hospital, Xia Lin introduced herself to Yao Liang's mother as his high school classmate. Yao Liang's mother reacted with disdain, accusing Xia Lin of being a 'coquette' who abandoned her son for money. Xia Lin tried to explain that she and Yao Liang had never been in a relationship, but the mother scoffed, refusing to believe her and claiming Xia Lin was merely trying to protect Ling Yizhou, whom she branded as the murderer.
She then angrily demanded they leave, shouting at Ling Yizhou when he tried to reason with her and accusing him of ruining her son's bright future. As Ling Yizhou and Xia Lin walked out of the hospital, they were immediately surrounded by reporters who had been tipped off. Wen Li swiftly intervened, shielding them and clearing a path through the crowd.
Meanwhile, in a secluded spot, Miss Jiang watched a video of Xia Lin and Ling Yizhou at the hospital on her phone, a triumphant smile on her face. Lawyer Fu asked her about the satisfaction of her revenge, and she replied that it was 'just the beginning,' explicitly revealing her deliberate orchestration of the events. Xia Lin, troubled by the spreading online rumors and their negative impact on Ling Yizhou, expressed her unwavering belief in his innocence.
Ling Yizhou reassured her, mentioning he had already instructed Wen Li to investigate and expected quick results. Upon hearing the news, Chu Yan called Ling Yizhou to offer help, but Ling Yizhou stated he was handling it. After hanging up, Chu Yan, in his office, heard a knock. When no one entered, he opened the door to find a large bouquet of flowers, which immediately caused him to sneeze due to his pollen allergy, prompting him to back away.
Xiaoyou, holding the flowers, chased after him, explaining she just wanted to thank him. Struggling with his asthma, Chu Yan asked her to put down the 'weapon.' Realizing his condition, Xiaoyou profusely apologized for not knowing about his allergy. After taking his medicine, Chu Yan said he was fine but asked her not to send him flowers again.
Noticing spilled coffee on his desk, Xiaoyou insisted on cleaning it herself, despite Chu Yan's attempts to call for assistance, wanting to apologize through her actions. Later, Xia Lin spoke with Miss Jiang, reiterating that she had no relationship with Yao Liang. Miss Jiang advised her to distance herself from Ling Yizhou or divorce him, arguing that Xia Lin was not at fault and should not bear responsibility.
Xia Lin countered that Ling Yizhou needed her now and she could not leave him, believing that the ongoing investigation would soon clear his name. Miss Jiang warned her not to regret it if her career suffered, but Xia Lin affirmed her decision, stating she was prepared for the consequences. Wen Li reported to Ling Yizhou that two years prior, a Ling Corporation driver had indeed caused a drunk driving accident.
The driver claimed he was alone in the car, but his family later received a substantial sum of money. When questioned, the family insisted the driver was the sole perpetrator. Ling Yizhou instructed Wen Li to monitor the family closely for any inconsistencies. Wen Li also mentioned that the incident had been suppressed at the time by Director Jin, who feared it would tarnish the company's image during its public listing preparations.
Ling Yizhou, angered, called it absurd, stating that human lives were more important than a company's image, and ordered Wen Li to thoroughly investigate Director Jin's past activities. During an event, reporters again questioned Xia Lin about Ling Yizhou's alleged hit-and-run and scapegoat incident. Xia Lin asserted that Ling Yizhou was innocent, had not caused the accident, and had not found a scapegoat.
She stated that the investigation was ongoing and they would provide a full account to the public, urging reporters not to spread sensational and false information. From the crowd, a person wearing sunglasses accused her of 'talking nonsense' and threw a bottle of water at her. Ling Yizhou quickly stepped forward, shielding Xia Lin, taking the hit on his back.
Miss Jiang, witnessing the scene, revealed a triumphant smile, confirming her role in orchestrating everything, from the initial 'gossip' photos at the bathroom entrance to this recent attack. In the lounge, Xia Lin helped Ling Yizhou remove his jacket, asking why he had come. Ling Yizhou explained he anticipated reporters would harass her at such an event but never expected she would be physically attacked. He blamed himself for not protecting her adequately.
He informed her that her apartment address had also been leaked and urged her to move in with him for safety, to which Xia Lin agreed. Xia Lin arrived at Ling Yizhou's home with her luggage. While tidying his room, she discovered a mask and a large stack of documents about herself. Shocked by the information, she was confronted by Ling Yizhou. Seeing her expression, he realized he could no longer keep his secrets.
He revealed that he had fallen in love with her at first sight exactly two years ago on his birthday, June 8th, when they first met at a cake shop. Six months later, at a masked ball, he recognized her instantly, even though she was wearing a mask. However, his father was gravely ill at the time, and he wasn't ready to face her, so he retreated.
Since then, he had secretly followed her career and life, until the 'gossip' incident brought them together. Overwhelmed and confused by his revelations, Xia Lin found herself unsure whether to believe him. Disturbed, she ran out of the room, leaving him behind.
