=Romance of a Twin Flower=

=Episode 27=

I caught you, huh?

Look. Look.

Whose dress is this?

What the...

And one more.

How dare you…

It's

a man's wedding robe...

Wedding robe?

And this is my size.

It's my wedding robe.

I should put it back.

This sneaker,

he's keeping it from me.

I got to watch my diet now.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Ning Yuxuan.

The wedding robe is done.

Ning Yuxuan.

Ning Yuxuan.

Dear.

Ning…

You are finally back.

What are you doing here?

I've been waiting for you.

What took you so long?

I…

I have something to tell you.

This year…

What is it?

Why are you laughing?

Never mind.

Nothing.

This year's

Imperial Supplier Contest

will be held in Haifang next month.

Haifang.

I know.

You…

You know?

Mr. Qin

went to Haoxue Cosmetics this morning

and told us already.

I was wondering where you were.

This Qin Yixian…

The document has just been issued.

I…

I wanted to make sure

that the court

put cosmetics on the list.

I didn't want you to feel let down,

so…

So, is it on the list?

Of course it is, otherwise…

So we can participate in the Contest?

You bet we can.

The document also says

that whoever wins

the Contest

will be appointed

as the chairman of the Sea Trade Guild.

Don't… Don't look at me this way.

Let me make it clear.

Even though you are my wife,

I will not treat you differently

from the others.

I can't

favor anybody.

What do you mean?

You mean I have to

rely on you other than

my own strength?

Of course you have strength.

How could you say that?

Anything else?

Wish you success.

Enough about it.

Is there anything else?

Anything else?

No.

Are…

Are… Are you sure?

I am.

Really?

Really.

Then I'm leaving.

Hey, I'm really leaving.

I'm so tired.

See you.

Fine.

Your Lordship,

the thing you asked me to…

So tired.

She didn't find out, right?

Your Lordship.

You've kept me busy for days.

I'm exhausted.

Please propose to her soon.

I will.

I've

had a plan.

I don't need you to tell me what to do.

He wouldn't tell me.

Don't think I don't know.

How come I have dark circles now?

What a shame.

I must look the best

on my wedding day.

Your Ladyship.

Gui Bai?

What are you doing here?

These are the pastries

from the new bakery in the market.

They are for you.

Please take them back.

I'm

on a diet right now.

I'll pass.

His Lordship said

you'd like them.

He said that?

Since he said it,

I'll keep it.

My job is done here.

Please enjoy.

I'll take my leave.

Alright.

You do know me well.

What's this?

Ji Man,

I'd like to trade my three lives

for your happiness of one lifetime.

Marry me.

Be my real wife.

Okay?

How did I do?

Don't you feel

the urge to say yes?

Your Lordship,

it doesn't matter what I say.

You need to make Her Ladyship say yes.

Now, get out.

Watch it.

My flower petals.

Muxu,

Sang Shen,

come here.

Do I look good in this dress?

What's wrong?

Does it make me look too pale?

It's...

Very nice!

You look so pretty, My Lady.

Do I have to change to another headband?

No.

It fits perfectly with your dress.

What about my hair wear?

Should I wear a necklace

or

a pair of earrings?

No.

You look pretty just the way it is.

Really?

Really.

My Lady,

something's wrong with you.

What's wrong?

You changed your dress

and put on makeup.

Where are you going?

Yeah, where?

It's a secret.

Secret?

I see.

Her Ladyship dressed up so nicely.

I bet she's having a date with His Lordship.

What are you talking about?

Miss Ji is stunning.

Ning Yuxuan is not

her only admirer.

What does that mean?

I mean Ning Yuxuan is not good enough for her.

Tonight,

(Haoxue Cosmetics) I'll go by myself.

Do not follow me.

Got it?

My Lady, you can't.

It's getting dark outside.

Where are you going alone?

I'm not a kid anymore.

Don't worry about me.

See you.

But…

Man.

Dad?

Mr. Ji.

Dad!

You are finally back.

Silly girl.

It's okay. Everything's fine.

When did you come back?

I came to see you as soon as I arrived.

Come on, let's talk inside.

Not inside.

It's not convenient to talk here.

Let's go somewhere else.

It's been four hours,

and she's still not here.

Gui Bai,

are you sure

you delivered the box to her?

I did.

I put a note inside.

She

should've read it, right?

You put a note inside?

I…

Your Lordship.

Her Ladyship's here. Get ready.

Your Lordship,

Muxu just went to the Magistrate's Residence and said

Her Ladyship left with an old gentleman

outside Haoxue Cosmetics.

An old gentleman?

Yes.

Muxu said

she didn't know that man.

She heard Her Ladyship call him dad,

and Sang Shen call him Mr. Ji.

Her Ladyship hasn't come back

since she left with him.

Alright.

I see.

I'll take my leave.

Your Lordship.

He's back.

Who?

Guihai Warrior.

Dad,

why did you bring me here?

We could've caught up

in Haoxue Cosmetics.

No rush.

Let's stay here

and catch up first.

I finally found you.

I'd been looking for you

in the capital for months,

yet there was no sign of you.

I was worried sick.

Alright, Dad.

It was my bad.

I shouldn't have

gone to the capital without telling you.

Sorry, I have made you worry.

Mr. Ji,

it's not Miss Ji's fault.

She suffered from amnesia,

and she even forgot me.

Amnesia?

That was awful.

Now,

let me take a look at you.

Dad,

look,

I've recovered.

Do you recognize me?

Of course.

Why wouldn't I?

Good. I'm glad.

Come on, sit down.

Dad,

you can go to Haoxue Cosmetics

to find me in the future.

I tell you what,

I'm the owner

of Haoxue Cosmetics.

You can go there anytime you want.

Don't worry.

Any time will do.

I just

came back to Haifang,

and I didn't know about your situation.

If Ning Yuxuan caught us

meeting each other there,

he'd get suspicious.

Don't worry, Dad.

Ning Yuxuan

has known

that I'm Ji Man.

And he knows

that I'm your daughter.

What?

He knows already?

Yes.

Then, did he

do something to you?

Why are you looking like that, Dad?

He's not a ghost anyway.

What are you afraid of?

Man.

You are hiding something from me.

I'm not.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Fine.

Then I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

You have

a natural daughter, don't you?

Nonsense.

I have one daughter only, and it's you.

No way.

I was

mistaken for

Ning Yuxuan's wife

because they all said

I looked exactly

like his wife.

That's why

I was brought to the Ning's Mansion.

After thinking about it,

if you don't have

another daughter,

what are the odds for something like this to happen?

Get up and sit down.

Coincidence happens all the time.

And it's not strange that two people look alike.

Now that I'm back,

let's forget

about the past.

You should

get your life back on track.

Ship Guihai is your home.

I know.

But, Dad,

I want to discuss this

with Ning Yuxuan

before I make a decision.

I'm not in a hurry to go back.

You two have nothing to do with each other.

Why do you

need his approval to go home?

That's not true.

In Haifang,

my identity is his wife.

Everybody thinks so.

Well,

if people find out

my real identity,

how is he supposed to govern this place?

It'll cause him trouble.

You should mind your own business.

Why do you

care so much about him?

Mr. Ji,

you may not know

that Miss Ji went to the capital

to look for Ning Yuxuan, the one she loves.

Man,

don't tell me

you two are already

in a relationship.

We are not.

Not yet, at least.

But, it's happening.

That's ridiculous.

You can't stay in the Magistrate's Residence

like this anymore.

There's nothing going on between us.

Dad,

we didn't do anything wrong,

and we stay in separate rooms.

Or what?

You want to move in with him?

Come on, Dad.

Listen,

please go back first.

I've still got something to do.

I'll go to visit you tomorrow.

Where are you going?

We finally got together.

Don't you want to stay longer with me?

Of course I do.

But…

But I've got something

to do tonight.

No.

Now that I'm back,

I won't let you

stay in his residence anymore.

I have an appointment with him tonight.

I really have to go.

You must go back to the ship with me.

Dad,

please listen to me.

I really have to go.

I can't go back with you to the…

No.

Come on. Let's go back to the ship.

- My Lady. - Come on. Dad.

(Ship Guihai)

My Lady. My Lady.

Mr. Ning is outside.

Mr. Ning is here.

Mr. Ning is here?

Who?

His Lordship.

Let him in.

We can't.

Mr. Ji and his people are guarding outside.

That's right.

Good point. I forgot.

You two, go ahead and lure them away. Come on.

Go.

You must've waited…

Waited for me for a long time yesterday.

It was worth it.

I was worried about you.

Why did your father

bring you back to the ship in a hurry?

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

My father just thinks

that it's not proper for me

to stay in your residence.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

You didn't sleep well

last night, did you?

You got dark circles.

I look bad?

No.

You are always pretty.

Do you think your father

has a misunderstanding

about me?

Maybe I should explain it to him.

Don't think too much.

My father is very open-minded.

And he told me

that he'd have my back

no matter with whom I fall in love.

That's why I had the courage to go

to the capital to look for you.

That makes sense.

After all,

you traveled thousands of miles

to look for your Mr. Right.

I should

thank your father.

Stop making fun of me.

I missed you so much.

Who is it?

Dad.

Dad…

Mr. Ji, nice to meet you.

Dad,

this…

This is…

Mr. Ning,

why didn't you

let me know you were here?

You two met in secret.

How inappropriate!

I'm Ning Yuxuan.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Ji.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

You are an official,

and I'm just a businessman.

I dare not have you apologize to me.

Dad.

Ji Man

somehow

exchanged identities

with my wife Nie Sangyu.

I should've told you about that earlier.

But I just found out recently

what happened exactly.

It's my fault that I

had you worried for long.

It's also my fault.

Now that you've found out

what happened,

and you said yourself

that your wife is Nie Sangyu,

then you should understand

that Man

cannot replace your wife

and keep staying in your residence

without a proper cause.

Dad,

Ning Yuxuan had nothing

to do with my amnesia.

And

there's no misunderstanding between us anymore.

Actually…

Actually what?

Are you going to be called Nie Sangyu for the rest of your life?

I'm not…

I know what your father means.

Honestly, I don't want Ji Man

to live under another woman's name either.

I was going

to give her a proper title,

and bring her betrothal presents

to propose to her

and make her

my one and only wife.

But because

she's a second-rank lady with imperial mandate,

although I'll marry her,

she has to keep her real name

a secret for the time being.

And later, I promise

I'll find a solution to this.

Fine.

But,

to be my son-in-law,

you must possess two qualities.

One, honesty.

And two, diligence.

You've already lied to the public

about my daughter's real identity.

As for diligence,

you are the magistrate of Haifang,

a high-ranking official.

You can order your subordinates

to do anything for you.

How do I know you are diligent?

Dad,

you may not know

that while you were away,

Ning Yuxuan

did many good deeds

and

worked hard in the interest

of the people in Haifang.

So what?

That's his job.

Mr. Ning,

the trade in Haifang

relies on the wharf.

As the local magistrate,

do you know

how many hours

the dockmen work every day,

how much they make,

and if there's any injustice?

But the Dragon Gang

is in charge of the wharf affairs, Dad.

Mr. Ji, thank you for your reminder.

The Imperial Supplier Contest

will be held soon.

The wharf will be busier

during that time.

I should

pay more attention to…

Mr. Ning, please say no more.

There's nothing for us to talk about,

official or private matters.

Forget about the proposal.

From now on,

Man must stay on Ship Guihai.

She won't go back to your residence.

She won't go back?

- Why? - Why?

I've figured out

a solution to have Man

leave your residence without raising any questions.

What solution?

Divorce.

Dad,

what are you talking about?

I won't agree to that.

Please think again, Mr. Ji.

As for the rest,

I'll do my best to meet your requirements.

Mr. Ji, please

give me a chance to prove myself.

Dad…

Mr. Ning, you are busy.

I won't keep you.

Please go back.

But…

Sang Shen.

Sang Shen.

Your Lordship,

please go back first.

Then,

let me talk to my father.

Mr. Ji,

I'll take my leave.

But I won't give up.

Dad,

what's the matter with you?

Why are you giving him a hard time?

What?

Did I say anything wrong?

You…

Dad,

you once

told me that you'd

have my back no matter

with whom I fall in love.

How can you take it back

and break your promise today?

Man,

you can love anyone,

except

for Ning Yuxuan.

Why?

Because…

Because you are too young

and bewitched by him.

I won't allow you

to see him anymore.

Dad,

I've grown up.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I know who's the right one for me,

and I'm sure

that I'm in love with him.

I want to marry him.

No one can change my mind.

Marry him?

I won't let you.

And I'm not going

to divorce him either.

You…

Make way, please.

Coming through.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship, you haven't seen Her Ladyship for days.

Is everything okay with you?

Why are you dressed like this

working on the wharf?

Mr. Ji made a good point

that the Imperial Supplier Contest is approaching,

but we know very little

about the wharf,

so I want to be here

in person

to conduct a secret inspection.

Then, I'll keep you company.

You don't have to.

It'll catch people's attention.

It's okay. I'll find something myself.

Go ahead and mind your own business.

Hurry, hurry.

Can you do it or not?

Are you blind?

Sir,

excuse me,

are you still hiring?

You are too skinny. You can't work here.

Just leave.

Please let me try.

I… I can do this.

Alright.

Let's try one day first,

see if you can endure the hard work.

No payment if you don't finish the whole day.

Alright.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Then

where shall I register?

Register?

Anybody can

work here.

No need to register.

Hurry.

Go to work.

Hey, what are you looking at?

Chen,

take him to work.

Count it carefully.

Come here.

Sir.

Come on. Let's do this.

Be steady.

Sir,

how long

do you have to work every day?

Till no more ships dock here.

That long?

And how much do you make?

It's hard to say.

It depends on the employer's mood.

It's not much.

That's tough.

Stop talking and get to work.

If the employer catches you chatting,

he'll fire you.

Hurry.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Watch it. Careful.

Look. Look.

It's only been a few months,

and Haifang has become so popular.

Tell me about it.

There's more.

Let's walk down a little.

Okay.

Let's go.

Dad, look.

Ever since

the establishment of the Shipping Department,

more and more people have

come to Haifang.

And because of the tax exemption,

the market has become

more bustling than ever.

Good.

On top of that,

such local gangsters

as Wang Jinyao

and Shen Liancheng

have all been removed.

So, our life in Haifang

will become better and better.

You said this much

just to tell me

that Ning Yuxuan is credited with all this, right?

Come on.

No.

I'm only telling the truth.

None of these would've happened

without his hard work.

My Lady. My Lady.

Look at that person.

Isn't that Mr. Ning?

That one.

Is it?

It's him.

Why is he…

There are more in the back.

It is Ning Yuxuan. Well,

look. That's him, right?

The one in blue clothes.

It is him.

Is Mr. Ning

putting on a show for me?

Man,

did you bring me here

to watch him putting on a show?

What are you talking about, Dad?

I had no idea he was here.

Besides,

he's here to experience the hard work.

He's not putting on a show.

Don't be lazy. Keep working.

Coming.

I'm talking to you.

(If parents do love their children,)

(they'll consider for them in the long run.)

(Ning Yuxuan,)

(I know)

(you are a good kid,)

(but you two aren't meant to be together.)

(Haifang Wharf)

Chief,

our men said

a lot of daily-use articles

were brought on Ship Guihai.

And someone spotted that Ms. Nie

went to the market

with a middle-aged man.

Many people

called the middle-aged man

Mr. Ji.

Mr. Ji?

Could he

be Guihai Warrior?

Mr. Huang,

let's pay him a visit one day.

Okay.

I also want to find out

his relationship with Man.

Chief, here's the thing.

In my opinion,

after all,

you've just taken over the position as the chief.

Guihai Warrior is an influential businessman.

Age-wise,

he is

an elder of yours.

So, it's better for you

to send him a letter first

to notify him of your visit,

which will be much politer.

Besides,

Guihai Warrior

never cared

to collude with Shen Liancheng.

I'm sure

he's a righteous man.

It's a pity

that I'd never had a chance

to meet him in person.

Chief,

now that

you are the new chief

of the Dragon Gang now.

There'll be many opportunities

for us to cooperate with him.

Why don't we take this chance

to leave him with a good impression?

Mr. Huang, you are right.

Then let's send him a letter first.

Okay.

Hurry.

My Lady. My Lady.

Come here, Sang Shen.

Lie down.

Careful.

Lie down. Come on.

Here.

Listen to me.

If my father

comes here later,

you can do my voice

and stop him from coming in.

My Lady, I can't do your voice.

Please stay. I'm afraid.

Don't worry.

I have something urgent to talk to Ning Yuxuan.

I'll be right back.

Won't be longer

than two hours.

Moreover,

my father is in bed asleep already.

He won't come here.

Just relax.

- My Lady. - Shh.

Now, go to sleep.

(Haifang Wharf) Finally off work.

Yeah.

I know a nice steamed bun restaurant.

Let's go get some.

Sure.

Bro, are you coming?

You go first. I'll take a rest here.

Alright, then we are leaving.

Your Lordship.

It's getting late.

Let me escort you back home.

If I hadn't come to work here today,

I wouldn't have found out

that there is a big problem on the wharf.

Let's go.

Let me rest a little.

Ning Yuxuan.

Your Lordship,

I'll go stand guard for you.

What are you doing here?

You are really here.

Your hands are rubbed raw.

I'm fine.

Let me see.

No.

Come on.

Sit down.

Fortunately, I brought medicine.

I can't believe you.

You should be more careful.

I just went to the Magistrate's Residence, and you weren't there.

I knew you must've still been here.

My dad was just saying it.

Why did you take it so seriously?

It's okay.

My father-in-law made a good point.

Now that I worked here for a day,

I did find out a big problem

on the wharf.

Look,

the Imperial Supplier Contest

is coming up soon.

We should think about

how to make the wharf function smoothly.

Who's your father-in-law?

Somebody didn't show up that night

and made me wait for so long.

I didn't know my dad would come back,

and I had no idea

my dad wouldn't allow me to see you.

I thought…

I know.

But why does your father

not allow us

to see each other?

Maybe…

Maybe he just came back,

and

he's having a hard time accepting it.

I'm not sure.

I've got

to talk to him again.

How about this?

We can let Gui Bai and Muxu

help us set the time and place

before we meet.

What do you say?

It's a good idea.

That'll work.

Let me see.

Why did you ask me out

to the riverside that day?

I…

That day…

Forget it.

You missed it anyway.

I'll tell you later.

No.

I want to know.

Later.

Why later?

I will tell you later.

You are keeping something from me, aren't you?

No.

Later.

I'll tell you later.

Don't go.

I'll tell you later.

Ning Yuxuan.

Sang Shen.

Sang Shen, wake up.

Sang Shen,

wake up.

I'm back.

My Lady.

My Lady, you are back.

Did my father come?

I don't think so.

Good.

You can go back and sleep now.

Easy.

My Lady, then I'm leaving.

Mr. Ji.

You are up so early.

Sang Shen.

Mr. Ji.

Come with me.

What's up?

Sang Shen,

how do I treat you?

You treat me

like your own daughter.

Why?

Then you shouldn't put Man in trouble.

How could I do that? Mr. Ji,

Miss Ji is like a sister to me.

She stayed out the whole night.

She must've gone to meet Ning Yuxuan.

Instead of stopping her,

you helped her keep it from me.

If something

happens between them,

how is Man supposed to get married in the future?

So, you still don't think that you put her in trouble?

Mr. Ji,

it won't happen again.

What should I do then?

Now,

to make up for your mistake,

from now on,

I want you to keep an eye on her.

Let me know right away

if she goes to meet Ning Yuxuan.

Got it?

Okay.

You can count on me.

Dear.

Who is it?

You are here.

Are we alone?

Yes.

Were you being followed?

No.

Dizzy, dizzy. I feel dizzy.

I feel a little dizzy.

Did you miss me?

I feel dizzy, too.

Come on, have a seat.

Take it easy.

Easy.

Easy.

- So many… - Shh.

I prepared the best dishes

for you today.

Tastes good?

Mr. Ji,

it's here.

Cheers.

Dad.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Ning Yuxuan…

Ning Yuxuan is well-versed in both literature and martial arts.

He can defeat a group of bandits all by himself.

Mr. Ji,

I…

I'm good at combat.

And once he confronts the bandits,

he's able to wipe out all of them.

No bandits will be left alive.

He's upright, honest,

strong-willed, and heroic.

I can't stand

any wrongdoings.

He also helps those in need often,

cares a great deal for the people,

and attaches importance

to agricultural infrastructure.

I…

Mr. Ji,

I'll take good care of Ji Man,

and I won't let anybody hurt her.

I…

I…

I'd better leave.

Dad.

I'm Yuan Lang.

I've heard so much about you, Guihai Warrior.

I'm here today to pay you a visit.

It's such a great honor

to have the new chief

of the Dragon Gang

visit our Ship Guihai.

I didn't expect you to be this young

and good-looking.

I'm flattered.

I just arrived in Haifang

and made quite a few friends.

I think this is the place where I can fulfill my ambition.

You are the most

influential businessman in Haifang.

I feel honored to be here

and learn from you.

Chief Yuan, you are being modest.

The future of Haifang

belongs to young talents

like you.

These two gentlemen are…

I'm Huang Han

of the Dragon Gang.

It's you.

I'm Lang.

Greetings, Mr. Ji.

Please rise.

You are really Lang.

How's your father doing?

He's...

fine.

But his health

has declined a lot.

Mr. Ji,

do you remember

that I was afraid of pain

when I was little,

and I didn't want to get a tattoo?

You helped me get away from it.

Yes,

I remember.

You've grown up

into a successful young man.

You've even

become a chief now.

And I didn't expect you

to be

Guihai Warrior.

Tiger

is your codename in the Tea Gang.

Ji Ming

is your real name.

So, Ms. Nie

is actually Ji Man, right?

Looks like

you've known

that Ms. Nie of Haoxue Cosmetics

is Ji Man,

right?

Man's thing

has been bothering me for days now.

I can't believe

she's in love with Ning Yuxuan.

It's bad fate.

I'm also worried

that Man will be in danger

staying with him.

Maybe

we should tell her

who she really is.

No.

If it's possible,

I hope Man

will never find out who she really is.

I don't want her to go through that.

The grudge of the last generation

shouldn't burden the juniors.

Then are we going to give up

on taking revenge?

Lang,

I've been doing business for years,

and I'm doing it for you guys.

I want to put an end

to the grudge held by the last generation.

I only want you and Man

to stay far away from hatred

and danger.

♪Summer stars, autumn night♪

♪Who is wandering under the moon in my heart♪

♪The deepest story with the shallowest goodbye♪

♪After passing by, I can only meet you in my dream♪

♪The wind can't breeze the long street of time♪

♪The burning yearning will never cool♪

♪Two hearts meet again foreshadowing love♪

♪How can I describe it when we look into each other's eyes♪

♪Take a life time to write the story♪

♪Together with you♪

♪Company you♪

♪Just for your glance and smile♪

♪The first promise means the forever love♪

♪Fireworks all over the sky light up your night♪

♪Take a life time♪

♪To write the story with you gradually♪

♪Just like this♪

♪Our love goes on and on♪

♪The day we first met, the year when we get old♪

♪My heart and my love will never vanish♪

♪My heart and my love will never vanish♪
