[BLEND FEELINGS] [Episode 9]

Jingshi, you're here.

Uncle Jingshi.

What did the doctor say?

Dad was fine this morning.

He suddenly felt dizzy after lunch.

The doctor said it's a mild stroke.

Since it's nothing serious,

I'll be heading out.

Do you even see me as your father anymore?

Dad, calm down.

Set up a meeting next week

with Miss Ma Qingqing, the third daughter from Kangmin Pharma.

Not interested.

Kangmin Pharma can fill

the gap in our group's business.

A marriage alliance would benefit us greatly.

Chairman Gu, I'll take my leave now.

Let me introduce you.

This is my girlfriend, Jian Xiangxiang.

So sudden?

Using me as a shield?

Is he telling the truth?

Then I'll go along with it.

Yes, we're dating.

Dad,

haven't you always wanted Jingshi

to find a girlfriend?

Now that he has,

why don't you believe it?

Don't scare Miss Jian.

Jingshi and Miss Jian look perfect together.

Dad, please give them your blessing.

Miss Jian, where do you work?

I'm an assistant to Mr. Gao.

Does our company have such a position?

Xiangxiang is a perfumer.

She developed the Glittering Stars & the Moon

Miss Jian, what does your family do?

My family makes traditional scent.

Miss Jian might become your third aunt in the future.

Third Aunt? I like this title.

Mom, don't be fooled by her.

This woman is actually my...

Xiangxiang went to the same college as you.

I know exactly what kind of relationship you two have.

Then Miss Jian really is fated to be part of our family.

There's still work at the office.

We'll get going.

You little rascal.

Every time I want him to keep me company, he gets so impatient.

Don't be upset, Dad.

The company keeps him busy.

Jingshi's under pressure.

I'll be here to keep you company.

Dad,

get some rest.

Goodbye, Grandpa.

Hurry up.

What is it, Mom?

Your Uncle Jingshi has a girlfriend now.

Your chance has come.

What chance?

You need to get close to Ma Qingqing.

Why?

Isn't your grandpa eager to form an alliance with Kangmin Pharma through marriage?

If you win her over,

what does that mean?

It means I'd have a higher place in Grandpa's heart

and more power in the company.

Exactly.

Come on. Mom, I know Ma Qingqing.

She's...

really not my type.

Once you're with her,

you can have as many girlfriends as you want on the side.

Don't think I don't know

about you and that secretary.

It's fine if you're just playing around,

but if you want her to marry into the Gu family, forget it.

Mom,

I know what I'm doing.

Don't worry.

I've already checked.

Tomorrow, Ma Qingqing will be playing golf at the golf course in the western suburbs.

Don't worry.

Wait for me, Mom.

[Contract Couple Agreement]

Contract couple?

As you've seen,

my father keeps setting me up on blind dates.

I need a way

to keep him quiet for a while.

And your intentions are pretty clear.

What intentions?

I don't have any intentions.

Two years.

The price is up to you.

I get it.

He must have feelings for me

but is too shy to say it,

so he's using this contract as an excuse.

Fine, a contract it is.

It gets me one step closer to my goal anyway.

If you have any concerns, just say it.

Since you made the offer,

don't blame me for asking for more.

If you want me to be your contract girlfriend,

it's not impossible.

However,

you have to live with me.

Don't push your luck.

I'm not.

We need to make it convincing.

If you're not willing,

then I'll leave.

Sign it.

Go pack your things.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

I'm actually moving in with Gu Jingshi now.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

What's this?

Grandma's pajamas?

They're pure cotton and really comfortable, okay?

Jian Xiangxiang, you two are just a contract couple.

Sooner or later, it'll end.

So you need to take advantage of this time

and make the most of your girlfriend status

to stir things up

at the company

and take down that scumbag,

so you can escape your fate of being sent to a mental hospital.

I will. Besides,

I've got you as my silly—

I mean, strategic advisor, right?

So tell me what to do.

I'll listen to you, okay?

First...

You need a bottle of wine.

Why?

Alcohol gives courage, okay?

Pack it up.

Second,

you need a set of sexy pajamas.

I've already got them ready.

Let me pack it for you.

Chairman Gu, which floor is your room on?

I'll move my luggage in first.

I had Ms. Liu prepare a guest room.

That won't do.

What do you mean?

I mean if we're putting on an act, we should make it convincing.

Couples don't sleep in separate rooms.

If others see it, won't we be exposed?

Fine.

But there's one thing:

the bedroom on the third floor is off limits.

Don't worry.

We're a contract couple;

we should respect each other's privacy.

I get that.

I'll go then.

Alcohol gives courage. I'm counting on you.

Chairman Gu, come have some food.

No need.

Today is our first day living together.

It's quite meaningful.

Although it's all takeout,

please do me the honor of joining me.

Chairman Gu,

the first toast is to thank you for letting me join Yaoge Group

and giving me the chance to develop the Glittering Stars & the Moon.

The second toast is to thank you

for helping me out when Gu Jiacheng caused trouble.

The third toast is to a happy life living together.

Chairman Gu...

wait a moment.

[Gao Yi]

What is it?

Boss, as we expected, Li Fang couldn't wait any longer

and had Gu Jiacheng contact Ma Qingqing.

It's as expected.

Your plan is really brilliant.

But Boss,

why did you offer yourself as bait?

Only by luring the snake out

can we catch them all at once.

You're overthinking.

Luring the snake out?

Catch them all at once?

Do you have many enemies around you?

Yeah.

So it's dangerous to be around me.

If you want to back out of the deal, now's your chance.

Don't worry,

I'll definitely protect you well.

Did you hear me?

Say something.

Say something.

You? Protect me?
