[Believe in Love]

[Episode 9]

Li Yunyue speaks without thinking

and is impolite.

She is not fit for Huajian Pavilion.

Go now.

But... but I...

Ms. Su,

is this your attitude

towards the selection?

If you disqualify someone

because they are not good with words,

then how many talents

would we lose?

You!

Stop wasting time. Give her the theme.

The final round is about "sweetness".

You have one hour.

Begin!

Very good.

These Honey Lotus Root Cakes are sweet but not cloying.

Crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. They smell great too.

-They look, smell, and taste great. -It's good.

It's a very good dish.

Island Master, what do you think?

Failed.

Hua Yi'nan,

you did this on purpose!

Island Master,

this woman has a deep understanding of food.

If Huajian Pavilion doesn't want her,

how about I take her as a female official

to assist me

in overseeing Huajian Pavilion's food safety?

The Imperial Court sent me here.

I would imagine

that you

wouldn't meddle with the Imperial Court.

Just now,

I felt a bit of sweetness in my heart.

I now understand the sweetness

of this dish.

Li Yunyue made such

a delicious dish.

A cooking prodigy like her

should of course

stay in Huajian Pavilion

to maximize her talent.

Head Chef Du,

are you going to fight me for her?

Of course not.

This is great.

Thank you for helping me earlier.

You're welcome.

But Yue'er,

what are we doing here

all secretive?

If Hua Yi'nan sees us

alone together,

he'll be mad again.

You're not afraid of anything,

but you're scared of him?

This is because one person

is always vanquished by another.

You don't know

how petty

Hua Yi'nan can be.

He's really scary when he's mad.

But Yue'er,

what's going on?

You saw it already.

You want

to investigate Ms. Yun's matter on your own?

No.

Don't worry about it.

But I'm telling you,

from now on,

I'm Li Yunyue.

I'm not Lu Yue'er.

Don't accidentally expose me.

What do I get

if I keep your secret?

Screw your gains. I'll kill you.

Okay, enough talk.

I'm going now.

Just now,

I felt a bit of sweetness in my heart.

I now understand the sweetness

of this dish.

(When Yi'nan talks sarcastically like that,)

(it's even scarier than when he's mad.)

Yi'nan!

(Speaking of the devil.)

Your husband died from talking too much.

Who are you calling now?

Yi'nan, I...

I was really forced to say that.

Huajian Pavilion

doesn't accept

married women,

so I thought of that.

Nonsense!

Since when

did the Pavilion have that rule?

You actually believed those rumors?

I didn't know.

Also,

when Du Ruo said he wanted to take you in as a female official,

did you chuckle to yourself

because you could spend time with him?

Not at all!

Yi'nan,

I came to Huajian Pavilion

so that I can

spend time with you.

Now, I can

see you every day.

Right?

I told the servants to watch you,

but you ran out on your own.

I'm going to punish them later.

Please don't.

Why would you blame others

when you're mad at me?

If you must,

then just punish me.

You do deserve punishment.

how are you going to punish me?

I need to think about it.

Since you just joined Huajian Pavilion,

you will be beginner chefs.

Your work

will be to help Deputy Directors

and what not.

Based on

your performance,

you might get promoted

within three to five years.

But remember,

other than when you're delivering food

out in front,

you must always be

in the kitchen otherwise

and not run around.

You especially must not go to

where the Island Master

works.

Understood?

Also,

let me tell you.

You must report everything

to me

and you can never go over my head.

Or else,

you will have to bear the consequences!

I bit my tongue.

Stop laughing! What are you laughing at?

This

is where you will cook.

Take a look around.

Look.

Alright.

Let's go

and check out where you sleep.

Let's go.

Send someone to keep an eye on my wife.

Report her every move to me.

Yes.

This is where

you will be staying.

You may choose beds on your own.

After 7 PM,

you must not roam outside

or make any noise.

Understood?

Yes.

Any other questions?

Me! I have a question.

You...

I...

I can't stay here.

I need to go home after work.

What?

Li Yunyue, why are you so annoying?

All kitchen maids in Huajian Pavilion

must stay in the sleeping quarters!

But we are...

Are what?

Mr. Dou.

Head Chef Du.

Head Chef Du.

What brings you here?

I was just passing by

and heard Li Yunyue's request.

I tasted her food

in the Chef Selection.

Li Yunyue

is a rare talent.

As long as it doesn't affect her work,

then whether or not she stays here is not important.

That's right!

Head Chef Du, you're right.

Let's go with your suggestion.

Alright,

once you're settled in,

report to the kitchen.

You!

I heard the Island Master and Head Chef Du

call you a prodigy.

Prodigies must be treated

in a special way,

right?

As the saying goes, we must exercise her mind

and body before she is successful.

Why don't you clean

all the floors

in the Huajian Pavilion,

then?

Also,

from now on,

you will wash all the vegetables.

Of course I saw it myself!

We were in the sleeping quarters,

and Head Chef Du exchanged looks

with Li Yunyue before he left.

No wonder!

There must be something

going on between them.

No wonder Head Chef Du

helped her so much!

I heard a rumor

that during the selection,

Head Chef Du

highly recommended her.

What?

Li Yunyue's support is Head Chef Du?

That's right.

You only heard now?

Everyone

in Huajian Pavilion knows already!

I also heard

that they used to be married.

Two years ago,

Li Yunyue and Head Chef Du got married.

Back then, Head Chef Du wasn't

the Best Cook of the South yet.

He was just a commoner.

After that,

Li Yunyue gave birth

to their child.

Then,

Head Chef Du came to Huajian Pavilion

and brought her

in here as well.

That's what they're saying?

Island Master, where are you going?

To visit the kitchen.

Remember that.

Oh my gosh.

Island Master.

She even had a child.

Really? With whom?

Head Chef Du and Li Yunyue

must be a couple.

I even see them mingling together

as if no one was around!

I'm so jealous of Li Yunyue.

If she has Head Chef Du protecting her,

who dares to bully her?

Is your work

all about gossip?

Island Master, I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Island Master,

It's my fault.

Lu Yue...

Li Yunyue and Du Ruo

are not in a relationship.

She is...

Island Master, please don't be angry!

Li Yunyue!

This is not your place to speak!

Shut up!

Yes.

As for them,

deduct their pay

for the next few months.

Also!

If you keep spreading these rumors,

you don't have to come to work!

I...

What are you waiting for? Back to work!

The tiger is coming.

What's wrong?

The tiger is coming!

The tiger is coming.

The tiger is coming now.

What tiger is coming?

You don't know since you're new.

This afternoon,

the Island Master's infamous sister-in-law,

Lu Yuzhen,

is coming to work at the Huajian Pavilion.

Be careful, everyone.

Don't get in trouble.

Really?

Why is everyone

so scared of Lu Yuzhen?

It's a long story.

From the first day

she came to the Huajian Pavilion,

she's created

so much trouble.

The first day she was here,

she gathered everyone up...

Let me introduce myself.

I

am the Island Mistress's younger sister,

the Island Master's sister-in-law.

You

better all be careful.

Got it?

I'm talking to you!

Got it?

After that, Lu Yuzhen got even worse.

(Every table she served)

(would make a complaint.)

(She either served the wrong dish)

(or upset the customers.)

(Even Ms. Su)

(can't deal with her.)

Why are you bullying customers?

Ms. Su.

You are only

a receptionist after all.

I am

the Island Master's sister-in-law.

Who dares to disrespect me?

Lu Yuzhen does

whatever she wants

because she's the Island Master's sister-in-law.

We're all tired of her.

Let's go, time to work.

Lu Yuzhen, seriously.

Hello, Miss Yuzhen.

Hello, Miss Yuzhen.

Su Tang.

I came today

to ask for

a salary advance.

Waitress Lu,

you only worked

for three days last month.

I didn't fire you

because of the Island Master.

And now you want to ask for

a salary advance?

Who do you think you are?

Aren't you making trouble

for me on purpose because my brother-in-law

doesn't like you and married

my sister instead?

I'm telling you,

my sister and I are very close.

If you don't get me my money,

I'll tell my brother-in-law

to fire you!

Get out

right now.

I won't give you one cent.

You lonely and mean lady!

This is why you're alone

and can't get married!

Shut up!

Are you two

not embarrassed

in public?

Du Ruo,

you're finally here!

This mean lady is bullying me.

I'm so scared.

It's a relief

if you're not bullying others.

And you.

Why can't the Head Receptionist

control her temper?

Write a letter

to reflect on yourself.

(I had to sweep the floors right after washing the vegetables.)

(That Mr. Dou)

(is doing this on purpose.)

[Library]

(I heard that Huajian Pavilion's library)

(has lots of historical texts.)

(Only a Deputy Director)

(or personnel in higher positions)

(can go in.)

(I'm already here.)

(I can't just not go in.)

(Huajian Pavilion's historical records)

(really only show)

(the Old Island Master as the sole founder.)

(I've never looked at Yi'nan closely.)

(He looks)

(quite handsome today.)

Yi'nan.

Did you hear that I was here

so you came here

to see me?

Of course not.

I wanted to see

if there were any books here

for me to study.

Did you find any, then?

Yi'nan, this is the library.

What are you going to do?

So what?

I am the Island Master.

The entire island is mine.

I can do whatever I want.

No, you shouldn't.

If someone sees us,

that's not good.

(Are you and Du Ruo)

(not afraid of people seeing?)

You're going to brush me off like that?

Oh, right, Yi'nan.

Where is that?

That's the library's Inner Court.

Only the Island Master can go in.

Then...

Can you take me inside?

No.

Why not?

Because I like

being sneaky here

instead of being in the Inner Court.

Then we can secretly

sneak into the Inner Court.

Okay, Yi'nan?

Let's go right now.

Come on, we'll sneak into it.

(Ever since I was little)

(and saw my father here,)

(I've never been here again.)

Who told you to come in?

You shouldn't be here.

What should we do?

Mr. Yan can't hear or see things clearly.

It's alright.

Go back after you're done eating.

Don't come here again.

Got it?

Is it good?

Yes.

These are

the best pastries I've ever had.

These

are osmanthus jelly cakes with goji.

I created them myself.

You won't find it elsewhere.

Then once I finish them,

I won't be able to eat them again.

No.

If my son wants them,

I will make them for you.

[Inner Court]

There's a hidden room here!

(This is my mother's recipe.)

(My mother is related to Huajian Pavilion)

(after all!)

Yi'nan, look.

I told you my mother

was one of the founders of Huajian Pavilion.

You didn't believe me.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Yi'nan, look.

I really found

my mother's cookbook.

I didn't go to Huajian Pavilion for nothing.

I'm so happy, Yi'nan!

(So my father was crying)

(while holding)

(Yun Wanxi's belonging)

(back then.)

Yi'nan.

Yi'nan.

Yi'nan!

What's wrong?

I called you,

but you didn't answer.

Nothing.

Something must be bothering you.

Yi'nan,

what's on your mind?

Tell me.

I can share the burden with you.

When we were in the Inner Court,

I remembered

the past with my father.

The Old Island Master?

My sister and I

always hated Father.

He was always busy with work

and never cared for us.

Since I was little,

I can count the number of times

we talked on one hand.

I thought he disliked me,

but our time in the Inner Court

was one of my rare happy memories.

My father made

osmanthus jelly cakes with goji for me.

The cakes were very good.

Even though I can no longer remember

how it tastes,

whenever I think of my father,

I don't hate him

that much.

Yi'nan,

wait for me here.

Sorry for the wait.

How is it?

This is the one.

The taste from my memories.

Really?

That's great!

Yue'er,

how do you have this recipe?

Actually,

I found this recipe

by accident

in the Inner Court

today.

(Yi'nan's Cake.)

[Osmanthus Jelly Cake with Goji]

Yi'nan,

I don't think

the Old Island Master

didn't care for you.

He

was protecting you secretly

in his own way.

Sometimes,

you don't need to tell others that you love them.

They might be more deeply in love with you

even though they didn't tell you.

The Old Island Master loved you very much.

I love you very much.

Did you say

you love me?

I finally found you.
