[My Boss]

[Episode 35]

[I don't want to lose you. I want a future with you]

Are you waiting for me to come home?

Come here.

♫ Misunderstandings lead to misplaced time ♫

There used to be someone

waiting for me to come home.

Every time I come home,

the lights are always on.

It's like in this world,

there's a place

that belongs only to me and her.

♫ When the sunset hides in the lamplight ♫

♫ The night arrives, and stars twinkle ♫

♫ Focus on the outline of your face ♫

♫ The most beautiful monologue is your existence ♫

Come on, look at the camera.

♫ How long have we been exchanging glances ♫

♫ Heartbeat quickens secretly ♫

♫ The most beautiful confession is the existence of love ♫

♫ At most there are some surprises, and you let me take a guess ♫

♫ I care about everything about you ♫

They are quite cute.

Your suggestion of thorough reconciliation,

I can give it a try.

Good morning, Senior.

Qian Heng agreed to help mediate between Chen Linli

and her mother-in-law.

As long as he is willing to help mediate,

I believe things will turn out well.

Really?

Good, it seems I can finally

break free from his curse.

Oh, right.

Mr. Li has given us two new cases.

Let's find some time to discuss them.

How about dinner? We can discuss them while eating.

- What do you say? - Sure, my treat.

To celebrate my breaking free

from Qian Heng's curse.

Tonight?

How about tomorrow? I've just agreed to have dinner with Senior.

Also, Chen Linli is currently in the hospital.

I'm worried she won't be discharged.

Huang Ran is only available tonight.

But Chen Linli is not well right now.

It's okay.

I will take Huang Ran to the hospital to see her.

We have to strike while the iron is hot.

I'm afraid Huang Ran might change her mind after a night's sleep

and wouldn't even want to see her.

Anyway, think it through.

Okay.

I'll talk to Chen Linli.

If possible, let's meet at the hospital.

Sorry, Senior.

I need to go to the hospital tonight.

So I'll have to cancel our dinner tonight.

Okay then, I figured

Qian Heng's curse isn't so easy to break.

Miss Cheng, please take me

- to see my mother-in-law. - Take it easy.

Mr. Qian and your mother-in-law are on their way here now.

Ever since the accident happened,

I've always wanted

to see my mother-in-law once.

But ever since Kai and Ranran passed away,

she has blocked

all my contact information,

She even believes

that I caused their deaths

for the property.

Besides, those nephews and nieces around her

have their eyes on her money,

portraying me like a monster.

It has made my mother-in-law

hate me even more,

making the chance of our reconciliation further slim.

But no matter what,

I really want to thank you.

Don't thank me just yet.

How the final case turns out

depends on how your talk goes.

Even if there's a settlement,

the division of inheritance still needs to be negotiated.

It's okay.

As long as there's negotiation,

there's a chance.

They are here.

Mother.

Thank you for bringing Huang Ran to see her.

They won't finish talking for a short while.

Do you want to go grab something to eat?

No,

Huang Ran's willingness to come to the hospital

indicates there's a turning point in the situation.

I want to wait a bit longer.

Okay.

Take a rest. Let me put this coat on you.

The hallway is chilly.

What do you want to eat?

I'll buy it for you.

Let's have ramen.

Wait a moment.

Chen Linli said they'd finished talking. We can go in now.

Miss Cheng.

Mr. Qian.

We've had an open conversation.

And I understand everything now.

My Lili here

has suffered so much.

I don't even know what to say.

Mr. Qian.

Thank you.

You convinced me

to see Lili.

- Thank you. - It's okay. Don't be like this.

I really need to thank you both.

Miss Cheng, thank you.

You gave me and my mother-in-law a chance to talk.

Thank you as well

for resolving this case in this way.

Don't mention it. It's okay.

We've only done so little.

Miss Cheng, Mr. Qian.

We won't pursue the second trial litigation.

We'll settle outside the court.

You are the most professional

and most human lawyers

I've ever seen.

Thank you, thank you so much.

- Thank you. - You're very welcome.

This case has come to an end.

Then I'll head home first.

Yaoyao.

I…

It's not that I didn't want to talk to you.

I was just reflecting.

Reflecting?

I didn't hear you wrong, did I?

The marriage and family cases I have handled

have all been filled with ugliness and quarrels.

This is the first one to end

in such a gentle manner.

I'm thinking

if I had met you sooner,

perhaps I would have had more

respect and understanding toward marriage.

Maybe those previous cases

would have had different outcomes.

I…

What?

Do you want to take me as your mentor?

You've really

taught me a lesson in this case.

Yaoyao.

I apologize to you.

Before,

when you talked to me about settling,

I had my own prejudices

and made a wrong judgment.

But the facts proved that you were right.

You have grown

much faster and better than I imagined.

It gives me a feeling

of mutual admiration.

Yaoyao.

I am willing to regard you

as a fair opponent

and face you in court

and compete against each other.

Before that,

may I take you home first?

If not,

do you want me to walk home?

What are you looking for?

My car. My car was parked here.

The car's gone.

Could it have been towed?

The no-parking line.

No. I was in a hurry to find you.

Who would have thought…

Sorry. How about we take a taxi?

Let's do it together.

I shouldn't have jinxed it

talking about walking back.

Now we really do have to walk back.

How would I know it would be so coincidental?

There's not a single car nearby.

Let me walk you.

Let's go.

- Why are you smiling? - Nothing.

Why are you smiling?

Why are you smiling?

- What's wrong? - It's nothing, let's go.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

I can walk.

Don't move around.

Or I won't be able to carry you later.

Maybe you should carry me on your back.

Okay.

Come on.

♫ Am I resisting or feeling helpless ♫

♫ I see your heart and the tough exterior ♫

- Am I heavy? - Not at all.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

You look heavy.

♫ Seems I've grown accustomed to relying on you ♫

♫ Strange heartbeats filled with inexplicable anticipation ♫

♫ Unable to shift away from seeking your direction ♫

♫ I heard too much of love and hate, but you are the exception ♫

♫ You taught me how to love someone ♫

♫ You are my only preference ♫

♫ Making me smile foolishly ♫

♫ Accommodating my caprice ♫

You can put me down now for a rest.

Okay.

Cheng Yao.

Let's get married.

Haven't you always said

that marriage only brings

contradictions and constraints?

That was before.

Not anymore.

After so many years as a family lawyer,

I have seen too many negative marriages.

I believed that marriage can only

bring misfortune to intimate relationships.

Until I met you.

You made me question my old thoughts.

You've given me so many feelings

that I've never had before.

It's wonderful, truly.

But the days you ignored me

were really hard for me.

I don't want to lose you.

I want to have a future with you.

I wasn't ignoring you.

But I knew you were mad at me.

It took these past few days to realize

my love for you,

making me desperately

want to be closer to you,

but also unintentionally

overprotective of you,

to the point of hindering and interfering with your independent choices

without considering your feelings.

And I didn't pay enough attention

to your desire for independence.

I ended up constraining you.

I am sorry.

Actually, I have my apologies to make in this matter too.

It wasn't all your fault.

I only realized later

that after being with you,

I became very insecure.

That's why I cared so much about what you said,

even magnifying it, misinterpreting it.

I am sorry.

So, you've forgiven me?

That's awesome.

That's great.

But seeing them reconcile just now

still felt very fulfilling.

Indeed, a successful career is the sweetest.

Marriage only protects property,

not love.

It makes a lot of sense.

When I get home, I'll write it down and stick it on my desk.

No, wait.

That, that was before, not now.

Not getting married is indeed quite good.

This way, there is more time and energy

to do the things one wants to do.

No.

Alright.

Go back and get some sleep early.

When you wake up tomorrow, it will be a brand new day.

But… So what I've said

was all for nothing?

No way, I am taking Megatron and moving back in with you.

After you moved out, the owner of this house

was just me alone.

I will pay you rent.

Do you think this is a hotel?

Come and go as you please.

See ya.

Are your feet okay?

They were fine to begin with.

But I'm not fine.

Can't I move back?

I don't have any dog supplies here.

Megatron has been protesting,

tearing up the house every day.

Qian Heng, good to see you like this.

- Hello. - sir.

This is a parcel for you from Miss Cheng.

Thank you.

For Megatron's use only.

Qian. Qian.

I love you so much.

Come here, my little Qianqian, give me a hug.

Come on, come over here.

Today, you seem especially pleasing to the eye.

Let me share some good news.

Our Junheng has received a commendation for the outstanding contributions

in the Chen Linli and Huang Ran case.

After this commendation,

getting the Golden Scales is almost a sure thing.

You're simply the light of our law firm, Qian.

Let me give you a kiss.

Listen. Everyone present tonight,

let's have a seafood feast tonight on me.

Nice, Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu, we love you too.

Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu.

Sea urchin, sea urchin.

Stop with the urchin.

If Mr. Wu is buying, let's go for Australian lobsters and abalones.

The Lawyers Association commendation

was the greatest affirmation for me.

To celebrate your award,

let's have dinner together tonight.

Tonight, my colleagues

are going to the Sichuan restaurant to celebrate, I can't get away.

Is Gu Beiqing also going?

Of course, he's a colleague too.

Order anything you want tonight.

Put it all on my tab.

Guys.

The success of this case

is inseparable from the negotiation and cooperation with Jincheng Law Firm.

I believe that in the future,

we should expand project collaborations with neighboring firms

to achieve mutual benefit.

Wu, this time our two law firms

should hold a joint celebration at the Sichuan restaurant downstairs.

Wait. How did our dinner

just decrease?

Boss, don't you look down on Jincheng?

The key point is that not many of us can handle spicy food, right?

Yu Fei, can you eat spicy food?

We Cantonese eat everything,

but not spicy food.

You, you're Cantonese?

What, don't I look like one? My mom is from Northeast China.

Is there a problem?

I can eat spicy food.

I can eat a lot of spicy food.

From knowing you in college until now,

this is the first time I've heard

the words 'mutual benefit' from your mouth.

I thought you couldn't eat spicy food.

It's settled then.

It's okay. Don't be disappointed.

The seafood feast, next time. Next time, okay?

I thought he didn't eat spicy food.

I've heard the environment around here is particularly nice.

Really, the other tables outside are getting seated too.

Then, Mr. Wu…

Can we also go to that table outside?

Okay, please take care of the outside for us.

I want to go there too.

Hello, who will be ordering?

Beiqing, you're familiar with this restaurant.

You can do the honor.

Okay.

I also know Sichuan cuisine.

- It's the same. - A portion of fragrant spicy ribs, please.

Raw pepper beef noodles.

Kung Pao chicken, spicy diced chicken.

Diving Frog.

This Sichuan restaurant is quite spicy.

If everyone can't handle spicy food,

you can change it to mildly spicy.

Gu Beiqing, can you eat spicy food?

Do you want us to make it less spicy for you?

No need, I'm from Sichuan, no spice, no joy.

I'm mainly worried about Mr. Qian…

Make it extra spicy.

Your restaurant's signature dish,

- I'll have one of each. - Okay.

- Extra spicy, okay? - Okay, sure.

Sorry, my stomach hasn't been great recently.

The main purpose today is also

to discuss cooperation with Mr. Li.

How about you guys eat here first

and I'll come over later to settle the bill?

- Okay. - How about they eat here

and let's go upstairs to talk?

Good idea.

I just remembered, we booked a movie ticket

and it's about to start.

Such a pity, I can't have dinner with you.

- Let's hurry. - When did you book it?

Just now.

- Are there any new movies recently? - Yes, there are.

Too spicy for the stomach.

Maybe you're just out of touch.

- Too spicy for the stomach? - Enjoy your meal.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

I used to always see Mr. Gu

having Sichuan food with Cheng Yao.

Is this place very spicy?

It's okay.

- Is it tasty? - Not bad.

Actually, I can handle spicy food.

Try it. People from our town love spicy food.

I'm craving it.

How is it?

I've finished eating. You guys eat.

Too spicy, isn't it?

- Let's eat. - Come on.

Yaoyao.

Do you always eat together?

Well, not very often.

Occasionally. There are two cases coming up

that we need to work on together.

So the frequency of our meals

will be a bit higher.

Come on, let's eat.

Mr. Qian, this isn't just ordinary noodles.

Raw pepper beef noodles

are made with chopped bird's eye chili,

mixed with minced beef and noodles.

Do you think I can't read?

That's not what I meant.

This dish is really spicy.

Previously, Cheng Yao and I

could only finish half.

It's just one bowl of noodles, and both of you ate it together?

Can't one person finish it?

No, wait.

Mr. Qian.

Megatron, come here.

Megatron.

Megatron.

Megatron.

Megatron.

Megatron.

Why are you rummaging through the trash?

Come here, come on.

Are you silly? Don't you know that you can't eat chocolate?

It could kill you, kid!

Doctor, I…

- It's okay. - Mom, what are you doing here?

Son, I received a call from your housekeeper,

saying something happened between you and the dog.

Were you bitten by a stray dog? Did it bite your head?

Then you should go to a human hospital.

Why are you at the pet hospital?

Mom, it's not me.

- If it's not you, then who? - Doctor.

Doctor, how is he?

It's fine, don't worry.

Your dog has had his stomach pumped in time.

There's no danger to his life now.

However, to be on the safe side,

he still needs to be closely observed in the next few days.

So, what else do I need

to pay attention to? Please tell me.

Dogs get scared after having their stomachs pumped,

so you need to spend more time with him over the next few days.

Feed him some easily digestible food.

And make sure to keep him warm.

I see.

Okay. Rest here for a bit.

Observe for a while, and if there's nothing wrong,

- you can leave. - Thank you, thanks.

You're welcome, alright.

- I'll go buy a blanket. - Mom, there's no need.

Come on.

Come on, hug him.

Easy, easy.

Come on.

Come on, be careful.

Mom, what do you think

this dog should eat

that's easy to digest?

There seems to be some foie gras at home.

Can dogs eat foie gras?

Of course, they can't.

That's true.

So what can he eat?

Son.

You actually have so much love for a dog.

After you've been with Cheng,

you've really changed a lot.

You have no idea

the way you just looked at the dog

was exactly

like how your dad

looked at you.

Mom, I have to go.

You should hurry back.

Did I say something wrong again?

What are you doing here?

Megatron is here too.

He accidentally ate chocolate and just had his stomach pumped at the hospital.

I'm afraid I won't take good care of him, so I've come to you for help.

What did the doctor say?

The doctor said to observe him for a few days.

So I brought him over.

- Come in first. - Okay.

Come on.

Megatron.

Chocolate is not something you can eat.

Why are you lying in someone's suit?

Hurry up and get out.

Don't ruin someone's suit.

Otherwise, you'll soon be turned into a dog meat hotpot.

I was afraid he'd be cold.

And the doctor said

he would feel more at ease with a familiar scent around.

Did he scratch your hand?

It's okay, just a little scratch. No big deal.

How can it be no big deal?

He's been vaccinated against rabies.

Otherwise, you would definitely need to get a shot.

Let me disinfect it for you.

You know, tonight,

may I stay here

- for the night? - No.

But I don't know how to take care of a dog.

You can leave him here.

I'll take care of him.

Then let me lie down for a while before I go.

I really don't feel well.

Alright, stop faking it.

Okay, you can rest.

I'm going back to work.

I…

Why are your hands so hot?

You have a fever.

I don't know.

Maybe it's an upset stomach

and blasting the air conditioning.

Why does Megatron

get to stay here when he's sick?

Why can't I stay?

It's freshly washed.

Come on, time to sleep.

How are you feeling?

Drink this.

I've added vitamins.

Are you still feeling sick?

A bit.

You're so hot.

- Get up and let's go to the hospital. - No.

Stop it. If the fever continues, it'll get worse.

I don't want to move around anymore.

It's been a long time since we were like this.

Quiet and peaceful.

You, me,

and Megatron.

What if the fever goes down after we go to the hospital?

Then you won't let me come over again.

Then, considering

that I saved Megatron,

could you make me a bowl of porridge?

Wait for me.

Sleep a little longer.

Come on. Let's get out.

Why did you come out?

I'm feeling better.

Wait a bit, the porridge is almost ready.

♫ The Sun has come down ♫

♫ The Moon shines bright in the sky ♫

♫ Fish in the river don't make bubbles ♫

♫ The leaves are quiet now ♫

♫ Little Cat, go to sleep quickly ♫

♫ Stars will be smiling in your dream ♫

♫ Little Cat has fallen asleep ♫

♫ Its whiskers are twitching ♫

♫ Little Cat, go to sleep quickly ♫

♫ The little bear and the puppy are both sleepy ♫

♫ Little Cat has fallen asleep ♫

- Fell asleep? - Almost.

Go ahead and drink. Be careful, it's hot.

The taste is a bit strange.

I added ginger.

Sweating is good for a fever.

I don't eat ginger.

I just made it, and you won't drink it?

Okay, go to sleep early after you finish drinking.

You'll feel better tomorrow.

Yaoyao.

I want to get married.

I want to see you every day in the future.

Before,

I never realized

what a promise means

to a relationship.

Until you said you didn't want to get married.

That's when I started to panic.

I felt like you didn't need me anymore.

I was so afraid.

So,

I now want a commitment from you.

Can you give it?

By the way,

raising Megatron also made me feel

that it's good

to raise a child.

What if I don't want to?

Why not?

We've done everything.

Isn't it time to move to the next stage?

In legal terms,

this is called social consensus.

So you're saying

that you want me to take responsibility?

The other party is both the client and the lawyer.

But our side believes

that this is a matter of mutual consent.

Modern society should not be bound by outdated notions.

Cheng Yao, how can you do this?

Alright, drink up quickly.

Considering you're sick,

I agree to let you move back in.

What, you're taking a leave?

I remember when you had appendicitis surgery,

you were still researching on the hospital bed.

You didn't even ask for a day off.

What's been happening recently, any big issue?

A very important matter.

A very important matter?

Since that's the case, can you please explain

why are you in a queue

to buy milk tea?

I heard they have a special milk tea

that's limited to one hundred cups a day.

If it's not finished within two hours,

the taste will change.

Come on, Qian.

Have you become complacent?

We don't even have the Golden Scales yet,

and you're already slacking off.

Being here,

wasting time right here.

Wasting your life.

Have you ever thought about Junheng's KPI?

You don't want this year's annual bonus either, right?

Fine.

Then, for the leaves I haven't taken, pay me three times the salary.

- And for those previous… - Stop, stop, take a leave all you want.

Right here, right now.

Take as long as you want.

What kind of milk tea is this?

Is it that good?

Everyone, please pay attention.

Cheng Yao.

With everyone's concerted efforts,

our law firm has received

fifteen pennants this month.

Miss Cheng alone has won seven of them.

A round of applause.

Mr. Li, there's a gentleman

who insists on seeing Miss Cheng.

I really couldn't stop him.

Who is it?

I'm truly sorry,

Sorry.

It's an important matter,

so I didn't inform you in advance.

You can come whenever you want.

Our front desk is new, so she doesn't know.

Do you have a case to discuss today?

I'm here to deliver some milk tea.

Minglei, distribute the milk tea to everyone.

Okay, Mr. Qian, everyone has been working hard.

Mr. Qian has brought milk tea for everyone.

Thank you, Mr. Qian. Thank you, Mr. Qian.

Thank you, Mr. Qian, thanks.

Do you have to be so high-profile?

It's not high-profile.

You have reposted it so many times online,

for the giveaway events.

I have to bring the prizes to you.

Quick, give it a try.

I'll hand you the straw.

Since everyone is getting along so well,

why not talk about work together?

Sorry, Mr. Li.

I should get back to work.

Should she?

No, she shouldn't.

Miss Cheng has been working particularly hard these last few days.

I am planning to give her a break.

Thank you. Where is your workstation then?

Take a holiday?

Yes, take a holiday.

If there's anything, we can talk about it after the holiday.

Thanks again, let's go.

Have a happy holiday.
