GANGDONG MUNICIPAL CIVIL AFFAIRS BUREAU

MARRIAGE REGISTRATION OFFICE

Here.

This is it.

Mumu, why are we here?

We have to end the engagement contract before we can get married.

Since the engagement was your scheme, then I'll help you succeed.

As far as I'm concerned, marriage is a gamble.

Dare to take a chance?

Yes.

So long as you're not what's at stake,

I'll bet anything.

Ms. Jiang.

Mr. Ling, aren't you going to wait for Xia Lin?

Didn't I warn you about the contract?

I don't understand what you're saying.

I didn't show it to anybody.

This is my last warning.

Mumu is where I draw the line.

Tread carefully.

What do you all think about my proposal?

Chu Yan.

We approve of the transformation you propose.

That is unavoidable for the company.

However, I believe there is too much risk involved

in the projects you just mentioned.

As I said,

it's just an experiment.

During the investment stage,

we will still need the support of our traditional businesses.

Our conventional model cannot support this transformation.

I still think we should take it one step at a time.

Chu Yan, you closed the deal with Puhua.

We are aware of your capabilities.

However, you just took over.

There is a lot for you to learn.

How about this?

We will go home and consider your proposal.

Please think over our suggestions as well.

Let's go.

ZHEN BAOHUI, XIA LIN

What's wrong, Ms. Jiang?

Are you feeling sick?

It's nothing. How did it go?

It went well.

I should be able to wrap up work early today.

By the way, I don't have anything on the schedule tomorrow night, right?

-Do you have plans? -I have a high school reunion tomorrow.

I haven't attended one in years.

I'm excited about the meet-up.

High school friends?

We all got along quite well during high school.

All right. Have fun.

Work hard, play hard.

Okay.

-I'm taking off. -Bye.

Boss.

Your dad prepared these profiles of blind date candidates.

Discard them.

If he gives you more, just throw them in the trash.

All right.

HUANG AIXI, FATHER: HUANG JIANJUN

Is Huang Aixi

the daughter of one of the directors?

Yes, I heard Ms. Huang recently returned from abroad.

I'll meet her.

Boss, don't you hate these blind dates?

Yes,

but I don't want to hear the old man's nagging.

If I have to choose,

I'll go with the least likely choice.

Okay.

Does that feel good, Mumu?

Yes.

Mumu, you were amazing today.

Zhen Baohui wants to drive a wedge between us.

I would never trust her.

That's why I say you're the best.

Don't try to skirt the issue by sweet-talking me.

We need to lay out some ground rules,

so this doesn't happen again.

-Mumu. -Yes?

I promise you

something like this will never happen again.

How can you guarantee it?

Like this.

Ling Yizhou, I have something to tell you.

Go on.

I am...

hungry.

You glutton.

I'll make noodles for you.

Okay.

By the way, I'm going to a high school reunion tomorrow.

Okay, I'll leave work early and go with you.

Don't bother. We can't bring family to the reunion.

You can do your work.

Why not?

I'm losing another chance to show everyone that you're mine.

I'm sure a lot of people adored you at school.

You're right. I was so popular.

Are you jealous?

No, I'm not.

I heard from my dad that you just took over the company.

Yes.

There are no secrets between you and your dad.

I do have a solid relationship with my dad.

What about you? Don't you tell your family everything?

I personally feel that bringing work home

is disrespectful to my family.

I just returned from abroad.

I studied jewelry design in college.

That's incredible, Ms. Huang.

You're awe-inspiring like your dad.

You flatter me.

Perhaps my studies could be useful to your company.

I'm afraid not.

Our company doesn't have any business in that field.

Mr. Chu, what is your astrology sign?

Do you believe in astrology?

Just making small talk.

Maybe we'll see how compatible we are.

I'm an Aries.

Aries?

Aries is enthusiastic and optimistic, but also impulsive and self-centered.

I'm a Virgo, a perfectionist.

So that means...

We're not compatible.

Sorry, I wasn't interrupting, was I?

Here, Feifei.

Thank you.

Don't worry. Chance favors the prepared mind.

Don't worry, Feifei.

I'm completely prepared.

I hope you'll give me a chance this time.

-I'll try my best. -Thank you.

You have potential. I believe in you.

Feifei!

What are you doing here?

I bought the fish you like.

I'll make spicy poached fish for you tonight.

Didn't you say that I eat too many heavy foods

and should try a lighter diet?

Why the sudden change?

Indulging once in a while is fine.

My spicy poached fish is here.

-So you... -I...

Should I leave now?

Sure.

Let's go.

Hey, Feifei.

See you tomorrow.

Pick up the pace.

Ms. Huang, what do you like to do?

I like art so I often check out exhibits.

I also like traveling and sports.

That's quite classy.

So that must mean you like traveling around

rather than staying at home.

We only live once.

Shouldn't we see the world while we can?

I mean

is family life not enough?

Work takes up a lot of my time.

If we get married,

will you continue traveling for leisure?

I think women should place family first,

look after the elderly,

and manage the household.

Mr. Chu, what age are we living in?

How can you still think this way?

Perhaps my family is just traditional.

I hope my future wife will be a model wife and mother.

This is only our first time meeting.

Why are we even discussing our thoughts on married life?

Shouldn't we find out if we're on the same page?

By the way, Ms. Huang,

I think you're right about one thing.

I'm beginning to believe in astrology.

I don't think we're a good fit.

Sorry!

Miss.

Don't you know eavesdropping is very rude?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

I have no idea how the chair moved all the way here.

I'll move it back.

Sorry.

Sorry.

My dear.

-You-- -Ms. Huang.

She is actually my girlfriend.

My dad won't let us be together

and forced me to come to this blind date.

She secretly followed us.

My dear, I would never cheat on you.

Don't worry.

Mr. Chu, you can't be serious.

Just be frank if you want to turn me down.

Or maybe acting out idol dramas has become the norm for you.

Talk to your dad if you don't want to go on blind dates.

Don't waste other people's time.

I'm sorry about that.

Wait.

Well...

Can you touch me again?

Don't get the wrong idea.

I just want you

to repeat what you just did.

Can we be friends?

Are you sure that's it?

This isn't a scam?

Are you hurt anywhere?

My name is Ruan Meng. You can also call me Xiaoyou.

What about you?

Me?

I forgot what my name is.

Don't leave yet!

-I'm really busy. -I just want to be friends!

I don't have time to play games.

I'm really busy.

It's all the old man's fault for making me come to this blind date.

This ended so badly.

Xiaoyou?

Why does that name sound so familiar?

How could she not know me?

Ms. Ruan, are you all right?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

That man just now...

He's interesting, isn't he?

He looks familiar.

I think he's a celebrity.

Really?

So your name is Chu Yan.

"Former superstar with a huge following.

Left showbiz to take over the family business."

Ms. Ruan, should we bring that man back to apologize to you?

Don't scare him.

Stay at least ten meters away from me from now on. Okay?

-Yes, Ms. Ruan. -Yes, Ms. Ruan.

Chu Yan.

This is so sour!

How many pickled vegetables did you add to this?

I can't take this. I need some water.

BAI: FEIFEI, YOU MUSTN'T ABANDON ME.

Dig in.

Who was that guy outside earlier?

Also, someone just sent you a message,

begging you not to leave him.

Who are these two people?

It's not two people.

Just one.

So which one is it?

No, it's not a person.

I mean, it is a person.

What am I saying?

What I mean is

I have nothing to do with him.

He just has a minor role in my drama.

Then why didn't you keep a distance when he stepped in close to you?

And why does he keep messaging you asking you not to leave him?

How do you explain that?

See for yourself.

Bai has an insignificant role in my new drama.

He said he really likes my script

and keeps pestering me to add more lines for him.

He hopes his character can be more well-rounded.

His character only appears in a few episodes.

I can't change the plot just for him.

Are you not angry anymore?

Angry?

Why would I be?

I'm not angry. Let's eat.

I guess it is a bit sour.

-It has been so long. -It has been so long.

-My goodness. -It's been so long.

-Hi, Xia Lin! -Xia Lin!

-Where do I sit? -Xia Lin!

Sit over there. Come on.

-I'm going to that table. -Come, sit here.

-Xia Lin! -Xia Lin!

-Xia Lin! -Sit here.

You're so pretty today.

I can't believe you're here. Sui Peng said you weren't coming.

-Nonsense. -Xia Lin, I saw your latest drama.

I was hooked.

When is your next drama airing?

Xia Lin, do you remember our class teacher who always said

that you only had your looks going for you?

Look at her now.

Her beauty has made the class teacher so proud.

He tells everyone that you were his favorite student.

He's still the same.

-He hasn't changed at all. -Right.

Xia Lin, why didn't your rich fiancé come?

Are we not good enough for him?

I heard he has brought you a lot of resources.

Is that true?

Is it really a romantic relationship?

You two got engaged so suddenly.

Sui Peng said we can't bring our family.

That's why I didn't ask him to come. You can blame Sui Peng.

-That's true. -Who's talking about me?

-There you are. -Was it you?

-It wasn't me. -Hey, Xia Lin.

I just got here.

Xia Lin, you've made it big.

I see you on TV all the time and you're gorgeous.

I also remember you stood up for a student in another class.

-You were like a heroine. -I remember that.

It caused a sensation at school.

-I remember now. -I didn't.

Wasn't it Yao Liang in the class next door

who was always bullied but never told the teachers?

Yes.

I remember now.

I think he was beaten up so badly that he was hospitalized.

Actually,

when I went to the hospital last week,

I ran into Yao Liang's mom.

She told me

Yao Liang was hit by a drunk driver two years ago.

He's still in a coma.

It's not clear when he'll wake up.

How could this happen?

Back in high school,

he didn't talk much.

But he was very kind.

Yes, he's a nice person.

He's also a bit shy.

Even if he was misunderstood,

he wouldn't defend himself.

Xia Lin.

Didn't you help him out back then?

He must have felt very grateful.

I actually didn't do much.

Let's not talk about this.

I was just feeling emotional.

Me and my big mouth.

Come on, guys.

-Liu, sit at the other table. -Sit down.

Let's raise our glasses for this reunion.

-Come on, everyone. -Here.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Sit.

Dig in.

FILM SET, PLEASE WAIT QUIETLY

Xia Lin, this is Yao Liang. I went to high school with you.

You might not remember me,

but I still remember that

when I was bullied at school,

you were the only one who stood up for me.

These memories have been so vivid lately.

It's a sign that

I should tell you what I was never able to tell you before.

I like you.

I'm sorry if this comes as a shock.

Is there any chance

you would accept me as your boyfriend?

Hi, Yao Liang.

Of course I remember you.

Thank you for telling me this.

But I'm very sorry.

I am currently focusing on my career.

I don't plan on dating for the time being.

Okay, but can we meet and talk?

I haven't seen you in a long time.

I'm sorry.

I have to attend a dance at a bar tonight.

Can I meet you there?

-Come on in. -Okay.

Look.

Come here.

Eat up. What's the matter?

-Dig in. -Eat.

-Here. -Xia Lin, sit down.

Xia Lin, we're thinking about visiting the class teacher next Monday.

Do you want to come with us?

Sure, tell me once you've set a time.

I'll be there.

Let's dig in.

-Okay. -Let's eat!

Come on.

Mumu, you're drunk.

No, I'm not drunk at all.

But so what if I am?

You're here to wait with me until I sober up.

Sure, I'll wait with you.

Here.

Ling Yizhou, thank you for picking me up today.

Did you see my friends?

They were all so envious of me.

Really?

Did you have a good time today?

Yes, I had so much fun.

Guess what?

I was the class monitor in high school.

Do you know what that is?

That's the student in charge of the class.

Everybody in the class had to listen to me except for the teacher.

Although, I was more like an errand girl.

I haven't seen everybody since graduation.

Seeing them all today

makes me feel like I was 18 years old again.

We even talked about the last class before college entrance exams.

Mr. Wu, as in our class teacher,

told us to tell the class our dreams.

I confidently told everyone

that I wanted to be an actress.

Many of them thought I was joking.

The Mumu I know would never take her dreams lightly.

Yes, when a dream is put into words, it must be turned into reality.

Why mention it otherwise?

Yes, you're very brave.

Many people don't even have the courage to speak of their dreams,

much less realize them.

What's wrong?

Ling Yizhou.

In one of our conversations at dinner tonight,

they mentioned a classmate.

Who?

Ling Yizhou has nothing to do with Yao Liang.

He has enough on his plate already.

I shouldn't bother him with this.

It's nothing. Just a classmate.

It's okay. You can tell me anything. I won't mind.

I just want to tell you

that I'm very happy right now.

Thank you, Ling Yizhou.

I'll continue to make you happy.

Your phone is ringing.

Who is it?

-Hello? -Boss!

Your grandma fainted.

She's at the hospital!

What did you say?

EMERGENCY ROOM

It's going to be okay.

She'll be fine.

Don't worry.

Everything will be okay.

GANGDONG GENERAL HOSPITAL

Doctor, how is she?

The patient is stable now.

We'll need to monitor her for a few days and watch how she recovers.

-She's not in danger? -Correct.

-I see. Thank you, doctor. -No problem.

The doctor says she's fine. Relax.

Grandma.

You're finally awake.

-You're here. -How do you feel?

I'm fine.

I'm just old. My blood pressure got a bit high.

Look at how worried you are.

Grandma.

You have to watch your diet from now on.

Can you promise me that?

Okay.

I'll listen to you.

Where's Mumu?

She said my flowers aren't pretty enough.

She went out to buy a better-looking bouquet for you.

You know what?

She stayed here with me all night.

Good.

Yizhou, listen.

I just had a dream.

I dreamed of your grandpa and your dad.

They asked me how we're doing.

I told them you're doing so well

and you have someone that you love.

She's a nice woman who loves and understands him.

Yizhou.

I'll get to see you get married and have children.

-I'll hold your child in my arms. -Your hand.

Grandma, I'm going to tell you something, but don't yell at me.

That day when I brought Mumu home to see you,

we had already gotten our marriage certificate.

I'm married.

Now you just have to wait for great-grandchildren.

Yes, okay!

Yizhou, you did the right thing.

I need to recover quickly

so I can attend your wedding ceremony.

This is wonderful, Yizhou.

You're getting married.

It's Chu Yan.

It's Chu Yan.

Hey, what's up?

Hello? How's your grandma?

Grandma? She's fine now.

The doctor said she needs to be monitored for a few days

before she can be discharged.

I wouldn't have known if Xia Lin hadn't told me this morning.

Grandma, do you want to talk to him?

-Yes. -Here.

Hello, Chu Yan?

Hi, Grandma.

Are you feeling better now?

From the sound of my laughter,

don't I sound much better already?

Don't worry about me.

Grandma, you have to get better soon.

I miss your cooking.

I miss you too.

I'll definitely cook for you when you visit.

Sure!

I'll let you talk to Yizhou.

You must have some business to discuss.

-Okay. -Bye.

Hello? Do you have anything else you need?

No.

But I do.

Yizhou.

How are things at work?

Did they put up a resistance?

You were right.

They must be dinosaurs.

I understand the pain you went through when you took over your family business.

It's a no-brainer.

Your proposal doesn't tie in with the company's business.

It's normal that they wouldn't want to take the risk.

It seems that I'm more suited to be there

than in business.

Unlike you, I'm not a successful business whiz.

That is also a business.

Have you ever thought about going back to what you're good at?

For example, photography.

Guess what?

Mumu told me

she wants a destination wedding.

Does this bring any ideas to mind?

Photography.

Travel.

Wedding.

Do you mean

an idea focused around wedding photos?

Wedding photos...

while traveling.

In that case,

this could also be applied to best friends and couples photo shoots.

Sure, of course.

Look, you came up with an idea.

Who says you're not fit for business?

While on vacation,

people can have their precious moments recorded

while making beautiful memories.

Yizhou, your suggestion is invaluable.

Okay.

Now you have a way to combine traditional business and innovation.

You're not new to funding and marketing.

Your shareholders will gain faith in you.

You're right.

Starting out from this angle

would make this more feasible for our company

than previous proposals.

Stay realistic.

You only have an idea right now.

You haven't determined what makes it superior.

How will you convince the shareholders?

Isn't the combination of travel and photography

makes it superior?

No, I believe photography and travel are only a form of delivery.

You should have something competitive that nobody else can offer.

If you only innovate your form of delivery,

then others will likely copy you

and even do it better.

Do you mean

I should offer unique travel options

or have more professional photographers?

Something like that.

You'll have to come up with your own ideas.

And one more thing.

You also need to think about how to keep your customers

and make them trust you.

How am I going to carve out a niche in this field?

I can hire the top photographers and stylists

that I worked with during fashion magazine photo shoots.

I can also use my connections in the entertainment circle.

This is what gives you a leg up.

Now I want to hire you.

However, this comes with increasing costs.

Online advertisements and brand promotions

don't come cheap.

Why are you worrying about that?

I can invest.

Yizhou.

Don't look at me like that.

This is business.

Lingshi Group happens to be considering new projects.

Just prepare a flawless proposal and convince me.

One more thing.

Can I count on you to take wedding photos for me and Mumu?

You bet.

But you still have to pay.

Forget I said anything.

I'm just kidding, Yizhou.

All right.

Come here.

Enough already.

I can't help you with anything else,

but I can still treat you to a meal.

Boss, they said everything is ready.

Hello, Mumu?

I'm meeting a very important client tonight.

I need a partner. Come with me.

Pidan, what are you doing here?

Ling Yizhou, come out.

Mumu.

I prepared this for you. Do you like it?

Your photo editing skills are terrible.

Mumu.

I couldn't take part in your past.

But I hope

I won't miss a day of your future.

I'll watch the sunset and stars with you every day.

I'll grow old with you.

We already have our marriage certificate, but...

I'm sorry.

I never gave you the perfect proposal.

I hope you'll give me a chance.

Let me do this properly

and be in your world.

I designed this wedding gown.

I meticulously chose every detail, from its color to the materials.

I spent a lot of time on it.

In the end,

I decided to name it after you.

The World's One and Only Xia.

It's beautiful.

Mumu?

Will you marry me?

Yes.

You're finally mine!

You're mine too.

Mumu.

Do you know what I'm thinking?

What?

I want our wedding to be held as soon as possible.

I can't wait anymore.

I want to tell the whole world that you're my bride.

EARN MONEY TO SUPPORT MUMU: SHARED THIS PHOTO

Hello, Linlin?

Hi, Ms. Jiang.

There's something I haven't told you.

Ling Yizhou and I are married.

Considering our identities,

we've kept a secret from the public.

But we now want to find a chance

to tell the public and our fans

the truth that we're married.

Don't worry though.

This won't affect my work.

Why are you only telling me this now?

We need to think about this first.

After all, you're an actress on the rise.

You have to consider this carefully.

I know.

But I still think

it would be better to be honest with the public.

We'll need to see what the company thinks.

By the way, don't forget the fitting tomorrow

for your red carpet outfit for the Television Festival.

Don't worry, I remember.

Boss, it's late. You're not leaving yet?

You can go home first.

There's nothing more for you to do.

Do you need help?

Only I can do this.

I'm going to go.

I'm really going.

PHOTO EDITING SOFTWARE

Black will always be a classic on the red carpet.

The material of this dress can show off your slim waist.

The tailoring is perfect.

You clearly have your motives.

I do.

I want everyone to know

we're married.

Who are you?

Hello, ma'am.

I was Yao Liang's classmate.

My name is Xia Lin.

So you're the tramp who left my son for money.
