Original subtitles

Sis.

Nanxian and I are back together.

You know,

he never forgot about me during the past seven years.

Hi, come on in.

Wen Rou.

I'll just stay outside.

Just wanted to let you know I'll be away on business.

Please take care of the company business.

Sure.

-By the way-- -And...

You go first.

Nuan and Zhan Nanxian are back together.

I know.

I was about to tell you about that.

Come and sit.

I confessed to Nuan,

but she chose to be with Zhan Nanxian.

Linlu.

I'm fine.

I'm sorry about Nuan

because Zhan Nanxian has been lying to her.

What do you mean? What's he been lying to her about?

It's nothing actually.

We know Nuan.

She doesn't go back on her decisions.

When Nuan sees Zhan Nanxian,

even if she knows nothing good

will come out of it,

she'll still choose to be with him. That's how Nuan is.

What worries me the most

is what happened in the past.

Nuan was in so much pain that she closed her heart

and forgot what it felt like.

She's now with Zhan Nanxian.

If the words slipped out of his mouth,

Nuan would come to know

our Dad didn't die in an accident.

What would happen to her?

She'd fall apart.

-You're home. -What're you reading?

What's wrong?

You look tired.

Do I?

Maybe I've been working too much.

Where did you learn how to do this?

-Does it feel good? -Yes.

There are so many things that you don't know.

So there are many surprises

in store for me?

Of course.

What's wrong?

You're frowning.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

What were you reading?

You found me out.

I was going to make some desserts for you.

Since you found out, pick one. What do you want?

-Let me look. I want this one. -This one?

There's one more I saw. It looks delicious.

I want this one too.

It's got sauce inside.

-I think I can pull it off. -Make it for me, okay?

Okay.

I'll make desserts for you every day.

You'll get tired of them.

GAO FANG CALLING

Hello?

Nanxian, we're got a problem.

Dai Zhong filed charges against us in the UK

because of the Alpha acquisition.

Stop pacing. Come and sit.

Gao, I'm worried.

-What's happening? -Nanxian.

Boss, what should we do?

We just received the subpoena.

Zhu Linlu has hired

a top-notch law firm to sue us.

We're at war.

Dai Zhong clearly wants to destroy us.

What should we do?

If Dai Zhong dares to sue us,

they must have a smoking gun.

It's already happening. Let's fly to the UK.

They want to fight and sue us.

We can only tackle the problem step by step.

-Let's go. -Come on.

ZHAN NANXIAN CALLING

Are you calling Wen Nuan?

Yes.

She's probably sleeping.

Yeah. She's probably sleeping at this hour.

You can call her when we've reached the UK.

To be honest,

I don't want to leave her alone.

Nanxian?

Wen Nuan,

I'll be on a business trip for a few days, something came up.

Don't worry about me.

Business trip?

Why so sudden?

The phone you're calling is switched off.

He's switched off his phone.

Has something happened at his company?

Hi, Mr. Zhu.

I represent Shallow Cosmos Group.

My client has entrusted me to deal with the charges

you filed against Shallow Cosmos Group for illicit competition.

Mr. Zhu, I'm sure you know

Dai Zhong and Shallow Cosmos are leaders in the industry.

Fighting in court will damage the reputation of both.

Talking is better than fighting.

My client can promise you

Shallow Cosmos Group hasn't violated any of your rights.

I hope you can drop the charges

and settle the case out of court.

Mr. Zhan, are you calling the meeting today

to settle the case out of court?

Mr. Zhu,

before the trial begins,

it's better not to disclose such an important file.

It's okay. Show it to them.

This is the latest document of proof provided by my client.

I believe you must be quite familiar with it.

This is part of the renewal contract between Professor Wang and your company.

Professor Wang was a key technical person in the R&D department of Alpha,

but he resigned before Dai Zhong bid for Alpha.

After resigning,

he's been a teacher, which seems unrelated to R&D,

but he signed this contract with Shallow Cosmos secretly.

Well...

Actually, the cooperation between Shallow Cosmos and Professor Wang

has nothing to do with Alpha's R&D.

Legally speaking,

it's not against competition law.

Hence, it's not illicit competition.

This is just your side of the story.

Law is evidence-based.

I'll answer on my client's behalf.

My client won't accept any settlement offers.

Mr. Zhan, based on the current situation,

there's no way Dai Zhong will accept any settlement offers.

Their evidence can damage us.

We came here to find out what they have against us,

but we didn't come here in vain.

At least we've found out why Zhu Linlu is so confident.

Yes. He managed to procure the contract we signed with Professor Wang.

No wonder he's so cocky.

We'll rely on you.

It's my job.

Well, Mr. Zhan, Mr. Gao, I'll excuse myself.

See you.

-Thank you, Mr. Jiang. -Take care.

Boss,

is there any other way

to convince Zhu Linlu to settle the case out of court?

Taking us to court and watching us suffer

is what Zhu Linlu wants to see most.

He wants us to pay compensation, ruin our reputation,

and cause our stocks to drop.

If you were him,

would you settle out of court?

You're right.

We were very cautious.

How did he get those two pages of the contract?

Did you guys notice one detail?

The contract Zhu Linlu presented

-only has two pages. -You're right.

How come the contract only has two pages?

I think I know what's going on.

I'm guessing it's got something to do with me.

Shoot.

That day I... I bumped into Ding Xiaodai.

Then we...

That contract and her documents fell on the floor.

You guys also know the relationship between Xiaodai and me is awkward.

What could I do? I just picked up the contract and left.

I realized two pages were missing after I reached home.

Did Ding Xiaodai leak the information?

No way.

The next day, I got the two pages back, but not from Xiaodai.

From whom then?

Wen Nuan.

So Wen Nuan and Xiaodai are both suspects.

It's impossible that Xiaodai did it. It's...

There's no way she would do such a thing. Or...

Is there any way to prove Xiaodai's innocence?

Call Xiaodai now.

Cute Little Bag.

Okay. This is Cute Little Bag's contact information.

CUTE LITTLE BAG

Hi, Mr. Guan, what's up?

Xiaodai, do you remember...

Do you remember when we bumped into each other the other day

-and the files fell on the floor? -Yes.

Xiaodai.

This is very important.

Try to remember what happened and tell me.

What happened next,

when the contract fell on the floor?

Mr. Zhan.

Okay. I'll try to remember.

That day, I organized the files and went grab something to eat.

Wen Nuan asked me to print the contract.

I gave it to her. She put it in her bag,

saying she'd read it at home. Then she left.

All right. That's all. Thank you, Xiaodai.

Nanxian,

-I think this matter-- -You guys take a break.

I need some alone time.

All right. Excuse us.

See you, Boss.

What's up?

Don't you want to know

how I got those two pages from that contract?

Illegally.

I'm not interested.

I don't think so.

You don't want to know?

I've got to admit you did a great job

of acquiring Alpha successfully.

Have you ever thought

that if Nuan found out

what you did secretly,

if she would choose to stay with you?

I hope you won't forget

I was with Nuan

whenever she got upset

over the past seven years.

Zhu Linlu.

Did we have some sort of misunderstanding while doing business?

I don't understand what you said.

And

you were with Nuan for seven years. So what?

She chose to be back with me without hesitation.

The number you've dialed is not available.

Please try again later.

Nanxian, where did you go on your business trip?

Why don't you answer my calls?

What's happening?

Do you have any thoughts

on Dai Zhong's charges?

I'll state my opinion.

First, the project we've been working on with Professor Wang

has no conflicts with the Alpha copyrights owned by Dai Zhong.

I assure you,

but we can't talk about the contract openly.

Do you have any better suggestions?

WEN NUAN, 1 MISSED CALL PLEASE CALL ME BACK WHEN YOU'RE FREE

All right.

Please give it some thought after the meeting.

That's all for today. Thanks.

-You can go home now. -Okay.

Sis, here's the key.

-Bye bye. -Bye bye.

What are you doing here?

I thought I made myself clear

we can't see each other again.

That's not necessary.

I've waited for so long.

Can I at least talk to you?

There's nothing to talk about.

I know something about Zhan Nanxian.

It's hard to believe

we had drinks together here the other day.

Today

you don't want to see me anymore.

You said you know something about Nanxian.

Tell me.

If I didn't have anything about Nanxian,

would you have let me come inside?

You lied to me?

I didn't.

I do know something about him.

I want to ask you something

before I tell you.

If Zhan Nanxian lost everything someday,

would you still love him so much?

What are you getting at?

What happened to Nanxian? Tell me now.

Shallow Cosmos is in trouble.

Dai Zhong filed charges against Shallow Cosmos.

If Shallow Cosmos loses the case,

Zhan Nanxian will hit rock bottom

and lose everything.

When that happens,

will you still love him so much?

Do you know

I don't care

if Zhan Nanxian

is rich or poor.

Seven years ago,

he had nothing.

Back then,

I was willing to do anything for him.

You said you love me,

but you don't know me at all.

Over the years,

he has treated me like a friend,

but he's the best

in my eyes.

Wen Nuan's Xian.

From moment you wear the necklace,

you'll belong to me forever.

Aunt.

Hi, Yi Xin.

Has Nanxian talked to you recently?

No.

What's wrong?

I heard

Shallow Cosmos is in trouble.

-He's in the UK, trying to fix it. -What?

He...

He hasn't told me anything.

He probably doesn't want you to worry.

I'm going to the UK to attend an event.

I'll go check on him.

Okay.

You're being so considerate.

With you by his side, I'll rest easy.

Don't worry.

Miss Wen, are you here...

Nothing. I'm looking for Ding Xiaodai.

I'll wait for her in the lounge.

-Sure. -Okay.

Wen Nuan, are you downstairs?

Wait there. I'll be right down.

Wen Nuan.

-What brings you here? -Sorry to interrupt,

but you know where Mr. Zhan is on his business trip?

Business trip?

No wonder I haven't seen Mr. Zhan for days.

I didn't know he'd gone on a business trip.

You didn't know?

Did anything happen to the company?

Not that I know of.

Nothing has happened to the company recently. What's wrong, Wen Nuan?

It's nothing. I'm sorry to have troubled you.

Don't worry about it. See you.

Ms. Chi.

-Ms. Chi. -Wen Nuan.

Do you know where Mr. Zhan is on his business trip?

I haven't been able to reach him yet. Did anything happen?

You no longer work for Shallow Cosmos.

Even if I knew anything,

Mr. Zhan has told me I can't share it with you.

There's a quick way to solve this crisis.

We can reveal the project openly

to prove we haven't done anything to violate copyright law.

You're right, but by doing so,

our project will be exposed.

Plagiarism is common in the tech industry. Once exposed,

the result won't meet our expectations.

Besides, we've invested heavily in this project.

I've thought about that.

I don't want to do it, either.

But Boss,

we'll probably lose the case if things keep going this way.

We'll end up paying compensation

and ruining Shallow Cosmos's long-standing reputation,

I don't get it.

Why are you two hanging on to Professor Wang's project?

We can minimize losses.

There are so many other projects at Shallow Cosmos.

I'll finish my robot girlfriend project soon.

Why don't you have some faith in that?

Guan Ti, you're right, but you're not minimizing losses.

You're playing safe.

There's a possibility...

If Professor Wang can get some results before the case ends,

everything will be fine.

Gao, we can't hang on much longer.

I won't agree to it no matter what.

It's lunchtime.

Let's calm down.

Let's proceed after lunch.

What're you doing in the UK?

I'm here to attend the event. I arrived a day early.

I wanted to try my luck. Turned out you guys are all here.

If I had come any later,

you guys would probably have ended up fighting.

Nanxian, why don't you go to lunch with Yi Xin? We can talk later.

Are you still mad?

No, I'm not mad.

Nanxian and I are trying to minimize losses.

We've invested a lot of time and energy in Professor Wang's work.

I've calculated that

if his work proves successful,

our profits will be much higher than that compensation.

He's close to success.

If we reveal his work,

all our investment will be in vain.

You know your robot girlfriend project better than anyone else.

Are you sure it'll be a success

if it hits the market now?

I know.

You guys are being considerate,

but this thing really pisses me off.

You're right. Nanxian and I may have missed a thing or two.

We made a hasty decision.

We didn't discuss it with you,

but please believe me.

We're doing everything for the sake of Shallow Cosmos.

Gao.

Do you really know what went wrong?

Do you know why I'm mad?

Did you think

from the start

that my robot girlfriend project would fail?

-Absolutely not-- -You support the project

because you know I'm into it.

So you still support me

even if you think it'll fail?

-You're wrong, Guan Ti. -Gao, it's all right.

I just want to get it off my chest.

-Here's the thing-- -I feel like I'm suffocating.

I need some air.

But Guan Ti...

Please have some more.

I'm here

because Aunt is worried about you. She wanted me to check up on you.

Finish this meal and I'll tell her you're okay.

-Dig in. -Yeah.

-Have some more. -Sure.

Morning, Ms. Huan.

Excuse me.

-Has Mr. Zhan come back home? -No.

Miss Wen, breakfast is ready.

-Thanks. -Of course.

Please enjoy your meal.

Here's the latest news from clearsky.com.

Yi Xin, the actress who's been a hot topic recently,

has once again charmed us with her fairy tale love story.

According to fans, Yi Xin is currently in the UK,

staying with Zhan Nanxian, CEO of Shallow Cosmos.

They had a lovely lunch in a restaurant in the UK.

They've proved to be a perfect couple in the entertainment industry.

Zhan Nanxian, you...

Nuan.

If I draw a portrait of you,

you'll never leave me.

Nuan.

I'll take you home.

You saw the news.

Zhan Nanxian and Yi Xin are enjoying their time together in the UK.

What are you waiting for?

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

Nuan, why don't you go take a shower and get some sleep?

Hugging that painting won't do any good.

I'll put it away for you.

-The food is ready. -Okay.
