(Adapted from Chun Feng Yi Du's "Accidentally Picked Up a CEO")

(Episode 14)

Ling Yue.

Your tie is crooked.

Ling Yue!

An Xin.

Why are you here?

If I don't come,

I'll become a cuckquean.

Right, Xin Er?

It's not what you think.

What is it then?

An Xin.

Stop blaming Ling Yue.

I'm not talking to you.

Blame me if you want.

Stop talking.

Ai Li.

Show Ms. Gu out.

Ms. Gu, this way, please.

Wait.

This is yours, right?

Do you like it?

If you like it, I'll give it to you.

Cell phones can be given away,

but not boyfriends.

You understand that, right?

Of course.

Take it back.

I'm doing fine with my phone.

Let's just mind our own stuff.

Got it?

I'll get going now. Bye.

This is a misunderstanding.

It's not what you think.

Is that so?

She was just leaving, but then she fell down.

Thus, the scene you saw earlier.

Well, Ms. Gu is really clumsy, isn't she?

You know that.

I...

Don't put my hand on that lip print.

It's too hot.

What are you doing?

I'm removing my shirt.

I don't want you to feel upset seeing it.

Are you a fool?

If you take off your clothes in the office, others might think...

I'll change later then.

This is good.

It must have been tough lately, right?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't help you.

Please feel at ease, Mr. Ling.

An Sheng.

Why are you still here?

Well, I'm worried after that incident.

I came down to get you.

Don't worry. I've talked to the security guards.

They'll increase patrols around here.

Don't worry. It's not a big deal.

How is it not?

Do you remember when you were little?

You had a nightmare...

and you were so scared to death,

but you put on a brave face and didn't say a word.

You were worried you would cause trouble to other people.

Does that ring a bell?

Yes.

An Sheng, don't worry.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Besides, I'm not an eight-year-old.

I can protect myself.

Have you gone on a date with You You?

Did you forget?

Did you forget about it?

Go now!

She is going to kill me.

Hurry up.

Head back to your place then.

All right.

I'm sorry.

I'm late.

It's okay, An Sheng.

It's good that you're handsome.

- Look, something big happened. - What is it?

It says that Gu Xin Er and the CEO of New Way...

are about to get engaged.

Really?

Ling Yue, you scum...

I'm sorry, You You.

I can't go to the movies with you today.

I want to get an explanation from Ling Yue.

No.

I'll come with you.

What a jerk.

Let us in.

Ling Yue, you scumbag!

Come out.

The two of you may leave now.

- Yes, Mr. Ling. - Yes, Mr. Ling.

Ling Yue.

What's with the scandal between you and Xin Er?

That's right.

They made things up.

Is that so? Are you just trying to cover it up?

You should know better.

Nothing stays secret forever.

If nothing is going on,

where did the news come from?

Where did the news come from?

It's not really news.

It's gossip.

Now is the time you needed Gu family's help the most.

How would I know if you weren't using An Xin...

and have now moved on to Xin Er?

Gu An Sheng.

I'm really curious.

Why do you keep accusing me?

Why do I keep accusing you?

You, Mr. Ling,

are a resolute person who always does whatever it takes.

It's no secret to anyone in this industry.

You're right.

I'm a resolute person.

But I'm not unscrupulous.

Speaking of unscrupulous,

it should be your dad.

Hey.

I don't need anyone's help,

nor do you have to worry about it.

An Sheng.

Judging from what he said,

have we actually misunderstood him?

Listen.

To others,

you have an ambiguous relationship with Xin Er.

A straw in the wind...

will turn things into what we are seeing now.

It's probably nothing for you.

But think about An Xin.

It's going to hurt her.

If you can't protect her,

I will.

Gu An Sheng.

You're just An Xin's brother.

Who do you think you are to protect my girlfriend?

If you hurt her one more time,

I'll get her back.

Let's see if you're capable of doing that.

What are you two doing?

We're a family.

Just talk it out if there is anything.

An Sheng.

Everything is clear now. Let's just go.

An Sheng.

What's wrong?

You said there was someone you liked.

Have you confessed to her?

Not yet.

Do I know the person that you like?

Why do you ask?

Is it An Xin?

I...

I don't care who you like.

You're the one I like anyway.

You You.

I'm sorry.

I always thought...

There is nothing to be sorry about.

It's either you like someone or you don't.

Now that I've told you,

I feel so much better now.

Well...

Get in the car. I'll take you home.

No, I can go by myself.

It's not safe to go home alone.

I should take you home.

No.

If you're being so nice to a single lady like me,

I might get the wrong idea.

You should go.

After reading the article, who knows what An Xin will think.

Go and keep her company.

Well...

I'll get going then.

- Let me know when you get home. - Okay.

It's so embarrassing!

My reputation...

as the Taizhou version of Barbie Hsu is ruined.

(Zhao Lei)

I have rejected your calls! Why do you keep calling?

What?

Your phone is dead? Send you a power...

Your phone died.

What does that have to do with me?

I'm so upset now.

What?

What event?

Where is my idol?

Where is my power bank?

You've got everything.

Of course. I'm a professional.

Thank you. Bye.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Let's welcome Mike,

the Prince of Asian music,

to the stage with a warm round of applause.

- Mike! - Mike!

- Mike! - Mike!

Hello.

- Mike! - Mike!

I love you.

- I love you too! - I love you too!

Okay, today's signing event will officially start.

Please take your seat, Mike.

That concludes today's signing event.

Let's all see Mike off.

(Mike, you're the best.)

(Mike, I like you.)

Are you okay?

I...

What's wrong?

You were busy chasing stars.

I bet you forgot to eat after being out of touch with reality.

I brought you some food.

Have you been waiting for me?

Yes, and this too.

I'll hold it for you.

Is there something on my face?

Yes.

What is it?

You look kind of cute.

Was he flirting with me?

(Keep it up!)

Are you still busy?

Don't skip meals.

Why are you here?

Can't I come?

Is something wrong?

It's nothing.

I just wanted to take a look...

what's so special about this place...

that keeps Ling Yue lingering around.

I guess I'm overthinking it.

Besides the smell of poverty,

there is really nothing special about it.

Perhaps,

he just wanted novelty.

How harsh is that?

Are you still that polite Ms. Gu?

But it makes sense.

You've always been that jealous...

and helpless girl.

Jealous?

Why would I be jealous of you?

Be jealous...

of your shameful identity?

Please leave.

Who are you to tell me to leave?

Who am I?

I'm the owner of this house.

That gives me the right to kick you out of here.

Owner?

There are two sides to the story, right?

I remember Ling Yue rented out this place to you.

But I'm not surprised.

You love acting as the host when you're just the guest.

I'm telling you.

Indeed Ling Yue bought this house.

But I pay the rent every month in accordance with the law.

So this house is mine.

I have the right to ask you to leave.

Why would such a disciplined...

and law-abiding person be expelled from the school...

for intentionally hurting others?

It's none of your business.

Does Ling Yue know...

you have a sharp tongue?

That's what...

Ling Yue likes about me.

Unlike you.

Say one thing to someone's face, but another thing behind their back.

What a hypocrite.

So what if he likes you?

What is the value of your feelings for him?

He is in trouble now.

Can your feelings for him help him?

To him,

your feelings...

are a burden.

Because of you,

he lost his position...

as the CEO of Lingshi Group.

What do you mean?

The position as the CEO of Lingshi Group...

belonged to Ling Yue.

Why is he no longer the CEO after the accident?

Haven't you wondered why?

What are you trying to say?

Do you still not know?

Do you think he doesn't need to pay the price...

to be lost in love with you at your own Xanadu?

You became a drag on him...

and it angered Mr. Ling Tian.

That's why he lost everything that was supposed to be his.

You have seen the online rumors...

about me and him, right?

It's fake.

I trust him.

Whether it's true...

or not,

does it really matter?

What matters is that...

I'm the only one who can help him.

You know that, right?

That's right.

You're the only one in his heart now.

That's why he refused my help.

But do you know...

how much effort did Ling Yue put...

in building New Way into what it is today?

The more powerful New Way is,

the higher Ling Yue's position is in Lingshi Group.

But if New Way collapses,

everyone will mock him.

From up high,

he'll hit rock bottom...

and become what people say he is,

the adopted son who relies on his dad.

Can you bear to watch a proud man like him...

give up all of this for you?

Even if I leave,

will he choose you?

It doesn't matter whether he chooses me or not.

What matters is that you leave.

Xin Er.

Stop it.

What's the matter?

Do you want to poke your nose where it doesn't belong?

Let's talk at home.

Home?

So you know which one is your home?

Knock it off.

I'll be back in a few days.

An Sheng.

I'm your sister.

I also like this dessert shop...

that An Xin fancies.

Do you know that?

But it never...

crossed your mind...

to bring one back for me.

In your heart,

you only care about this other sister.

Xin Er.

For me, you and An Xin are just as important.

I don't want the same things...

as others.

An Xin.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You should go.

You're clearly upset.

Since when do you have to put up a tough front with me?

Leave him.

I can't bear to see you endure all this pain on your own.

Why do you keep telling me to leave the person I love?

Can't I...

give you happiness?

I'm just worried.

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

All those online rumors are fake.

I wouldn't buy any of them.

Go home and get some rest.

I'm tired. Good night.

Good night.

Even if you don't need me,

I will always be here for you.

I'll eat later.

I'll come to see you when I'm done.

Be good.

Wait for me.

(New Way Faces a Crisis. What's Next?)

(Xin Er)

(Xin Er)

(Missed call: Xin Er)

(Missed call: Xin Er)

Hello?

I need a driver.

The location...

is in front of Soho Bar.

Xin Er.

How did you know I was here?

Sorry. I'm late.

That's right. You're late.

But I already called a driver.

It's the Kuainiao Designated Driver, right?

How did you know?

I just paid him.

Xin Er, can I get in?

Hop in.

Why do you seem like...

something is troubling you?

When did you start to care so much about me?

Forget it if you don't tell me.

Xin Er.

Are you really going to get married to Ling Yue?

Since you know everything,

why did you still come?

So it's true?

It's true we're preparing for a marriage alliance.

You don't even bother...

to try lying to me.

But I was rejected.

I thought I could use this...

as an excuse to get my dad to spare New Way.

But Ling Yue just wouldn't accept it.

I get rejected all the time.

It's just so embarrassing.

Ling Sheng.

Sorry.

I just feel bad for you.

I'm fine.

All right.

Let's stop thinking about those things.

You still owe me a date.

Make it up to me now.

I have always been thinking...

and wondered...

if I could one day...

watch an outdoor movie...

with someone I love.

I wonder if I have the honor...

to become the one who makes your wish come true.

I'm sorry.

There is nothing to be sorry about.

Xin Er.

Turn around anytime.

I'm right behind you.

Dad.

Why is there a person standing at the door?

What brings you here today?

I have nothing to do.

Dad, have you read the mobile news lately?

I don't read mobile news.

Spending too much time on the mobile phone...

is bad for your eyes.

You should reduce your screen time as well.

I'll do that.

Dad.

Take a look if you're free.

Get to know real-time updates.

There's no need for that.

Just say what you want to say.

Dad.

Something happened with Ling Yue's company.

Is that all?

Did you know?

I thought you didn't surf the Internet?

Even if I don't, I can still read the newspaper.

Are you not going to do anything?

What do I have to do?

He runs the company well.

What can I do?

You should know...

how bad Ling Yue's situation is now.

The resources were intercepted.

You sure are well-informed.

Of course. I'm a...

We were talking about Ling Yue.

Why are you talking about me now?

You kept going on and on about Ling Yue.

Are you just trying to watch the fun...

or do you really care about him?

Of course I care...

Of course, I care about Lingshi Group.

No, think about it.

Although we give New Way the autonomy,

it's still under Lingshi Group after all.

We share a common interest, right?

Besides,

no matter what, Ling Yue is our family member.

He is your son.

Well, an attack on him is as good as a slap on your face.

Am I right?

No.

Why are you laughing?

I'm laughing at you.

You've finally grown up.

You know how to think...

from the perspective of the group.

We have to move on after all.

For as long as I could remember,

this was the very first time...

you showed concerns for your little brother.

I'm not concerned about him.

I'm just concerned about Lingshi Group.

Okay, it doesn't matter who you're concerned about.

I'll keep an eye out for Ling Yue.

Mr. Ling.

After we issued the statement,

we did not receive positive feedback from the audience.

How about France?

They probably have heard the news too.

They don't want to work with us for the time being.

Gu Yuan Chao sure has spent heavily.

Mr. Ling.

Gu Yuan Chao...

must have known our bargaining chips...

to negotiate terms with the other parties.

But our partners...

have signed non-disclosure agreements...

and there are...

no official announcements from those brands.

How did he know?

That's what I'm worried about.

Are you saying...

there is a mole in our company?

Does anyone want Chinese preserved meat claypot rice?

You're here.

- I brought one for you too. - Thank you.

I'll get going then.

I made it myself.

It took me a really long time.

This is only 20 percent of my skills.

Don't eat it then.

I must have been too tired lately.

I don't have the energy to eat.

I'll feed you then.

That's a good idea.

Okay.

I'll feed you.

Wider.

Silly.

I suspect you did it on purpose.

You want to choke me to death and inherit my flowers.

Do you want some?

This is your favorite flavor.

I'll have it later.

Actually,

I have something to tell you.

There have been a lot of rumors on the Internet lately.

It's about me and...

I know.

Don't worry.

I've been on the forum for so long.

How can I not have a discerning eye for things like this?

These ridiculous bombshells...

to get traffic can't fool me.

I'm just worried that you'll feel like you've been treated unfairly.

I don't feel that way at all...

for every moment that I get to spend with you.

As for you,

you must have been very exhausted...

having to work overtime lately.

So you need to strike a balance between work and rest.

Do you want to skip work...

and go out to relax?

Where are we going?

You'll see.

You told me earlier that you weren't afraid of heights.

That's right.

I'm not afraid of heights.

Well, that's great then.

I guess a 20-minute ride isn't that big of a deal.

Twenty...

You hit your head.

Does it hurt?

Hold me if you're scared.

Look me in the eye.

Do you feel at ease now?

What would you do if I'm not around?

Ling Yue.

I heard that if you make a wish...

when the Ferris wheel reaches the top,

it will surely come true.

Let's make a wish.

That's just to fool the kids.

Silly, at times like this,

you should listen to your girlfriend.

Okay then.

Go on.

Others might see us.

That entire building is mine.

What are they going to say?

You're so childish.

I'll get going then.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Ling Yue.

What's wrong?

You can't bear to part with me?

I forgot something.

What is it?

Send me your Alipay account number.

Isn't it better if you keep owing me?

Just send it to me.

I'll repay you little by little.

Okay.

It's my phone number.

I'll get going then.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I just missed you a little too much today.

Why do you seem to be acting strange?

I'm not.

In those Korean dramas, the lead actors or actresses...

have to be all lovey-dovey before going to the bathroom.

Mine is nothing.

Well, next time,

do it more often then.

Go on.

I'm leaving.
