Original subtitles

If I can make you smile,

then my power

would mean something.

That was close. Take care.

This Wen Nuan surprises me every time.

I never knew she was that kind of person.

Ever since the Du Xintong incident,

-I've changed my mind about her. -Don't judge a book by its cover.

Good morning.

Xiaodai, what's the matter?

Wen Nuan.

You...

You used to be in a relationship with Mr. Zhan?

Where did you hear that?

Everything in the post is real.

It says that you and Miss Yi Xin were schoolmates,

and that you were Mr. Zhan's first love.

What post?

Here, look at this post.

It says that you left Mr. Zhan because he was poor,

and that's why you went with Mr. Zhu.

That you regret it now because you've seen that Mr. Zhan is wealthier.

And now you want to steal Mr. Zhan from Miss Yi Xin.

That's why you exposed Yi Xin's family background to the media.

Wen Nuan, I think someone has set you up.

Even though you are with Mr. Zhu now

and you are a CEO's assistant,

you're not the kind of person who likes the rich and resents the poor.

Back to work.

Wen Nuan, are you okay?

Get back to work.

-Mr. Zhan, let's go with your plan. -It's a deal.

-Mr. Chen, it's been a pleasure. -Likewise.

Let's meet up some time.

Sure, I'll wait for your call.

-Hello. -Nanxian, we've got a problem.

Your history with Wen Nuan has been exposed.

What shall we eat?

Actually, Wen Nuan, I think we should just order a takeout.

I'm afraid others will gossip about you.

I've done nothing wrong.

Why be afraid?

Right, then let's go have something delicious.

Come here, I need to talk to you.

-Who are you? -Uncle.

-What did Yi Xin do to you? -Sir.

-Why'd you do this to her? -Calm down.

Why are you sabotaging her happiness?

Let him go.

Wen Rou.

Are you here for Wen Nuan?

I saw the news and was worried about Nuan. I came to see her.

There must be some misunderstanding.

-Misunderstanding? I don't think so. -I haven't done anything.

You haven't done anything?

Fine, you don't need to admit it, but I'm warning you.

If you dare disturb Yi Xin and Mr. Zhan again,

I'll risk my life

-to sort this out with you! -Sir, stop it.

-Sir, calm down. -Let go of me!

-I'll risk my life and I won't let you go! -Nuan.

-Uncle, why are you doing this? -Nuan.

-Mr. Zhan. -Who the hell are you?

Listen, if you lay a finger on my sister, I won't let you off the hook.

-Wen Rou. -Why are you here?

I can't watch you be bullied.

That's Yi Xin's father.

-He needed to speak with me. -So what?

-Talk then. Why the violence? -That's enough.

-Let's go upstairs and talk. -Mr. Zhan.

That woman is evil, you know that?

She's all over the internet.

You should fire her right away.

Your daughter is the evil one.

-I think you are evil too. -Can you both stop arguing?

What good will it do Yi Xin...

for everyone to know about this?

Uncle, let's go upstairs.

-Let's go up. -Let's go.

Go on.

Nothing to see.

Uncle, please have some water.

Calm down, I've just called Yi Xin and she's coming over now.

Wen Nuan, calm your sister down.

Don't be angry.

-Wen Rou, have some water. -Thank you.

-Xiaodai, thank you. -You're welcome.

-Zhan Nanxian didn't scold you, did he? -No.

Sis, you were very impulsive just now.

Why did you show up like this?

If I hadn't come today, you would've been bullied by him.

Her father is ill. It's no big deal if he wants to speak to me.

Let's not make a fuss about it.

Miss Yi Xin is here.

-Don't argue with her here. -I won't.

Wen Nuan,

whatever my father did or said, I apologize for it.

But what could he possibly do to you?

Why get others involved?

-What's your point? -Sis.

I won't argue with someone who's ill,

but I don't want others to misunderstand me either.

What misunderstanding?

I treated you as Yi Xin's friend at first.

Now, I think I was used by you.

The photo of me and Yi Xin at the hospital,

-you must have leaked it. -Dad.

You did this all because

you want to bring shame on Yi Xin in front of Mr. Zhan.

-I didn't. -Look at you two.

Echoing each other. You set this up, didn't you?

Who's echoing who?

-Are you done yet? -I'm not done yet.

Fine.

I know,

you want to protect your sister.

But you can't treat everyone as villains because of this.

My father is sick.

-He wouldn't get involved for nothing. -Your dad is ill, so I won't blame him.

But you're his daughter. What's wrong with you?

Pretending to be pathetic all the time.

You think you can just ruin people's reputations like this?

-You must be dreaming. -Can you all stop it?

There's no point in arguing.

It won't solve anything.

Let me figure this thing out.

Nanxian.

Gao.

I have a favor to ask.

It's about that thing that happened at the office today, right?

I heard about it. What a drama. It's fascinating.

Don't be condescending.

Help me investigate this.

As soon as possible.

By the way, that new wine you've got at home is really good.

Fine, I will make your effort worthwhile.

Okay, you can count on me.

Then let me tell you.

Originally, I wanted to spare a few of his core clients.

But since you are leaving,

that means I don't have to worry about anyone now.

Go and tell Zhu Linlu and Wen Rou

that even if they work their asses off at Dai Zhong,

it won't change anything.

As for you,

you're on your own.

-Uncle. -Mr. Zhan.

This woman is evil, you know that?

She's all over the internet.

You should fire her right away.

-Your daughter is the evil one. -What good would it do Yi Xin

for everyone to know about this?

I'm really exhausted.

Sis, why did you come this way?

Nuan.

I'm sorry for today.

I was impulsive, rushing over to Shallow Cosmos.

Sis, thank you.

Aren't you mad at me?

Why would I be mad?

When I was being framed,

I had a beloved family member

standing at the front-line blocking all the bullets for me.

I can't thank you enough. How could I be mad?

I'm your sister. If I didn't help you, who would?

Sis.

I actually wanted to apologize.

I was gone for so many years.

I wasn't by your side when things happened.

When you got hurt,

I wasn't able to help you.

That's always bothered me.

Like I said, it was nothing serious.

After so many years, how many times do I need to repeat it?

In fact,

that incident today...

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

I need to go buy something.

You're not okay at all!

It's not just because of today.

I've watched everything that's happened since you joined Shallow Cosmos.

It's been seven years.

Ever since you got back from England,

I've never seen you truly smile.

You think that I can't see that?

You put up a pretense so that I don't worry about you.

Nuan.

I'm sorry.

If it weren't for me,

you would have found happiness a long time ago.

I regret it so much.

Sis.

You don't have to apologize.

You've done nothing wrong.

Everyone has the right to pursue their happiness.

It was me.

I was immature.

I chose to solve the problem that way.

Sis.

I've always wanted to apologize to you.

I should be the one who's sorry for what happened back then.

You are the closest person to me,

yet I never thought about how you felt.

And I acted so happy in front of you all the time.

I'm the one who should be sorry.

Never say that.

Did you know?

For the past seven years,

I was afraid that you would never return from England.

Every single day,

I waited and waited.

Finally, you said you were coming home.

I was so happy.

I was so excited that night that I couldn't sleep.

But when I met you, I was very nervous.

I didn't know how to face you,

because of the situation between us.

You fool.

How could I refuse to come back and see you?

It's not that I couldn't face you.

I just couldn't face myself.

Those feelings you mentioned...

I feel the same way too.

Exactly the same.

Everything.

I noticed that...

you were being extremely careful.

I'm the same.

I was so afraid that the slightest mistake

would hurt you, like I did before.

What happened

was like a really thick wall

standing between us, wasn't it?

Sis, I was never angry at you.

Really, I never blamed you.

You don't blame me either, do you?

Then it's resolved.

-Resolved. -Yes, it is.

Could you promise me something?

-Of course. -Sis.

From now on,

treat your romantic relationships seriously, okay?

For so many years,

you've been through so much.

Stop using the past to punish yourself.

-Otherwise, I'll never be happy either. -I know.

I promise.

And you must promise me something.

From now on,

stop using the past to seal yourself off.

And don't use the present to make your life difficult.

If you aren't truly happy,

I'll never be happy either.

I'll try my best.

Look at us two.

Like two idiots.

Talking about each other's happiness and crying like two fools.

I really love you.

Me too.

All right.

Stop crying.

It's okay. Everything is okay now.

I got you some water. You can drink it tonight.

Get some rest.

Yi Xin.

Are you leaving?

Yes.

Stay here and get your treatment.

Don't worry about anything else.

I've done well for myself all these years.

I know you're mad at me.

I shouldn't have gone after that Wen Nuan today.

But I saw the way they treated you and I couldn't stand it.

Don't be mad at Dad. Please forgive me.

There's no need to apologize.

I've heard enough.

If you really feel guilty,

stay here and get treated.

Stop making me worry.

-I will. -Have a good rest.

By the way...

don't interfere with Wen Nuan anymore.

Nanxian will get upset.

But-- But aren't those posts on the internet true?

No.

Wen Nuan is working at Nanxian's company.

You barging in like that

will only cause trouble for Nanxian.

I'll handle it.

Okay.

Get some rest.

Come in.

Mr. Zhan, here is this month's report.

By the way, Wen Nuan handed in her resignation.

Doesn't the Admin Department need us to look for a new executive assistant?

No need.

Okay, I understand.

Okay.

We can go too.

Xiaodai, I'll wait for you on the roof.

Mr. Guan.

Why did you ask me to come here?

There's something I've always wanted to tell you.

Hang on.

Go ahead.

I've always wanted to tell you this, but I didn't know how to say it.

HELLO

What's this?

This is Xiaodai No.1, a robot girlfriend prototype based on you.

Robot girlfriend?

This is just a prototype, but when it's fully developed,

we can make a full-size robot.

She's like a real girlfriend.

She can cry, laugh, cause scenes, get mad, and act cute.

And she has her own preferences.

Xiaodai, I wanted to thank you for your help.

During this time, I was able to make detailed observations

which helped me develop Xiaodai No.1.

So, I thought

you should be the first one I share my news with.

So this means that...

I get half of the credit?

Of course, you're my best research buddy.

So...

all the movies, dinners, all that caring and compassion,

was just to create a database for that thing?

You could say that.

But, Xiaodai, don't worry.

After I make some improvements, Xiaodai No.2 will be popular with geeks.

So when you suddenly started avoiding me,

it's because you had completed your research?

No, not really.

It's just that someone told me

that if I don't have feelings for someone, I shouldn't give them false hope.

So, I...

I've got something I need to do.

I gotta go.

Don't push it, I beg you. Let me go.

Zhan Nanxian.

Who do you think you are?

I hate your arrogance and I hate how you arrange my life for me.

From now on,

I hope you can

disappear from my life.

Nanxian.

Nanxian.

So, the day that we met,

the day we started dating,

the day we first kissed,

and all the days after that, you've forgotten all that?

Don't leave me.

Don't go.

No.

I'm sorry, Nuan.

I caused all of your pain.

I can't watch you suffer like this anymore.

What's wrong? You asked me to rush over here.

Hello, may I take your order?

-Two hot Americanos, please. -Sure, one moment.

I came to see you today...

to apologize.

I don't understand.

When Nuan broke up with you back then,

it had nothing to do with Linlu.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry. It was all my fault.

It's all because of me.

If it weren't for me, Nuan would never have broken up with you.

Everything that followed...

would never have happened.

Wen Rou.

-Why are you so drunk in broad daylight? -Zhan Nanxian.

There's something I've been hiding inside me for so long.

I know I shouldn't be saying this but...

now that I'm graduating,

I'll lose my mind if I don't let it out.

I like you.

Wen Rou, I think

you must be drunk.

No, I'm not drunk.

I just want to have a clean slate

by the time I graduate.

I don't expect anything else.

Zhan Nanxian, you must be good to Nuan.

Otherwise, you'll have to answer to me.

Actually, during these last seven years, I had many guesses at

why she broke up with me.

What you just said, I've thought about it.

But what I don't understand is, why she didn't even tell me

or give me a chance to explain myself.

She gave up on our relationship so easily.

-It's not like that. -What is it then?

Was the love between us so cheap?

Nuan did it for me.

She's been suffering these past seven years.

It's just that she gradually learned to use silence to hide her pain.

She's been torturing herself over her guilt towards you.

I wanted to pretend

like all of this would go away, but it never will.

That's why I came here today, to tell you the truth.

It's all my fault.

If you want to hate someone, hate me. Don't blame Nuan.

Why would I hate you two?

To be honest, I should thank you.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't be the Zhan Nanxian I am today.

Zhan Nanxian.

I want to ask you one more favor.

Please don't bring up the past in front of Nuan.

Especially not my father's death.

When Dad died,

it was quite traumatic for Nuan.

I don't want her to be reminded of those painful memories.

Wen Rou, have you ever thought...

that you two aren't the only ones

who are suffering because of the past?

When Nuan broke up with you back then,

it had nothing to do with Linlu.

She did it for me.

She's been suffering these past seven years.

It's just that she gradually learned to use silence to hide her pain.

She's been torturing herself over her guilt towards you.

Seven years.

You escaped from me for seven years because of a small misunderstanding.

No matter what happens this time, don't escape from me again.

YI XIN

-Yi Xin. -Are you free right now?

Could you come over?

What's up?

Not much. I just want to thank you

for helping me out lately.

Also, I want to discuss my dad's future treatment plan with you.

Okay.

Give me a moment. I'll be right there.

I won't say any more thankful words.

The things you did for me,

I will remember them forever.

My father's illness,

it's really hard to say

what will happen.

But his biggest wish

is for me to be happy.

Can you

help me

make his wish come true?

I'm sorry, Yi Xin.

I may have to let you down.

Because of her?

No matter how many years have passed,

you can't forget her.

No matter what I do,

I'll never have the same place in your heart that she does.

I do have you in my heart.

But you're both different.

So many years have passed, you should know this by now.

You should know that she's always in my heart.

A fake will always be fake.

Is it time to wake up from my dream?

Mr. Zhan.

Delivering a document?

If there's nothing else, I'll head downstairs.

Nanxian.

I was by your side as a friend for seven years.

Won't you even give me a chance?

No matter how beautiful this ring is, it's not from you.

Wearing it on my finger

just reminds me how silly and ridiculous I am.
