[My Fated Boy]

[Episode 04]

[Shamai chicken bouillon Table salt]

Drink it.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Hurry up and drink it.

Lin Xiao Yang!

Can't you just be quiet?

Move.

My little An An.

Why aren't you drinking it?

If you don't eat as you're told, you won't grow.

Give it to me.

What for?

To feed him.

No, let me feed him.

He won't drink it if you feed him.

Give it to me. Quickly.

If he doesn't drink it, I will!

An An, are you hungry right now?

Lin Xiao Yang, what are you doing?

I'm just angry that he wouldn't eat.

If he doesn't eat, he won't grow.

How can he not grow up?

According to Mom,

I started eating every meal

like a good kid after that happened.

Then Aunty,

Aunty will boil some milk for you in a little bit.

I don't know why,

maybe I was touched by her love.

Thank you

for letting me grow up.

[The more you grow, the lonelier it gets]

First things first, you have to get close to her,

with an identity she's the most familiar with,

making her lower her guard,

so that you take her by surprise

in one go.

There's still time.

Then why are you like this?

Because women have maternal instincts,

so

the easiest thing to defeat isn't being moved,

it's having tender affection.

No need to care about it.

If she dared to go say these things to you at the hospital,

it means that she's not very bright,

can't be compared to you.

She even became your assistant.

Too cliché.

If a TV show has a plotline like this,

no one would watch it.

If you dared to be in a relationship with Lu Zheng An

and tear your little rival apart in the workplace,

you'll be super popular.

You have everything planned out to your wishes,

but what about me?

You are Yunlang's signature artist.

If this were to get out,

people would say that I'm a cold-blooded,

stingy,

ruthless, greedy, profit-driven businessman.

Am I supposed to pretend like nothing happened?

I clearly know that she sees me as her rival,

but I have to treat her as my assistant.

Teach her, order her around,

and then send her to Lu Zheng An with my own hands?

I, Ma Le...

I, Lin Yang...

have spent most of my life working hard in the business world.

have worked so hard at Ruiye for five years.

I refuse to be ruined by

- an artist - a girl

- who hasn't even signed a contract. - I don't even know.

So,

there is no way that I'll play along

with your sadfishing.

Even if you can't do it, you have to bite the bullet and get on with it.

Otherwise you only have one option left,

you'll have to tell Mr. Hua everything.

For what reason?

You haven't even worked together,

what reason can there be?

Unless she talks first,

otherwise you'll look extremely petty

and narrow-minded.

It really won't be convincing,

and it'll be embarrassing.

Fine,

we'll end this topic right here.

So

I've decided to sign with you right away.

In the meantime,

I'll release a new song during the signing ceremony,

making sure that Yunlang Music will be the hottest label,

to repay you for your cooperation.

Okay!

Looking forward to working with you.

Brother Ma.

Starting from today,

we are officially in the same boat.

So don't worry,

since I've already agreed to sign with you,

there's no way I'll play around.

I will prove to everyone

that your taste

is fantastic.

Okay!

Hey.

Look at me.

Do I look like a salted fish?

One that cannot turn onto its back.

Actually,

you know that what Lu Zheng An said is right,

but you won't admit it out loud.

A 30 something adult

being seen right through by a 20 something kid.

I don't like my life right now.

No passion, no expectations, no fun.

Like a robot.

Every day consists of brushing teeth, washing face, eating food, and sleeping.

This routine

seems to have been coded into a program.

It repeats infinitely in a step-by-step loop when plugged in.

Can't do anything even if you don't like it.

Why?

It's that feeling of powerlessness.

Like something is holding my leg back

and I cannot step forward at all.

Right?

Right.

It's your laziness.

And poorness.

Actually,

everyone above 30 years of age are the same.

They've been through what they should've been through.

If things are normal, whatever;

if things aren't, there's no way they'll experience that.

Therefore,

life isn't dead,

our state of mind is.

I haven't been excited by

a piece of clothing,

a bag, or anything else

in a long time.

I haven't had that urge of

"even if I max out my credit card,

I have to buy it" either.

And those extremely popular internet-famous restaurants,

just so-so.

It doesn't matter whether it tastes good,

being able to fill the stomach is the most important.

Also, what makes me cry has become strange.

Can't cry when I'm supposed to cry,

can't stop crying when I'm not supposed to cry.

Nothing interests me.

And I have all sorts of health problems.

You too?

Then we're the same.

No, you're not.

She has a husband.

We're not the same.

What about you?

You haven't fallen into any of those?

I have.

But I don't think anything of it.

It's normal.

Everyone experiences this age,

this stage in life.

If you don't think too much of it,

it'll just pass.

But if you keep a tight grip on it,

let it expand and play it up,

you'll be the one to suffer the consequences.

So why do it?

As expected, everyone knows the answer when it comes to other people's problems.

You obviously know what the problem is,

but refuse to change anything,

of course you'll suffer.

She didn't have a lot of friends

while she was at school, right?

Mhmm, people called her Miss Cao.

The two of you right now

are like two bunches of water spinach.

The outside looks

green,

very lush.

But you're actually

hollow in the middle.

You only have the appearance of an 30-year-old,

but you don't have a 30-year-old's soul.

Oh my god.

Settling is a matter of habit,

so at the right time,

some outside stimulus is needed.

You

go find a boyfriend.

You

go have a baby.

Perfect.

Certains things must be done at a certain age.

Look at the two of you,

you just have to do it backwards.

One wants to be a DINK (double income no kids).

One

is watching romantic dramas like crazy,

but has been single for years.

It'd be weird if you don't have problems.

Then Ms. Cao,

may I ask what you have?

Do you have a husband or do you have a kid?

Aiyo.

Hey.

Don't ignore the main character of today.

Get your priorities straight.

What do you want to do?

We'll keep you company to the end.

With the state I'm in, what else can I do?

Then just lay down.

Pass today by lying down,

continue lying down tomorrow.

What are you lying down for?

Get up.

Let's go.

What for?

Don't ask.

Slow down, she's injured.

My back.

We have to change it up.

Yao Dan.

We'll show her something different today.

Let's get her.

- What? - Hurry up.

Get up.

Why are you so heavy?

You're too heavy.

Did you gain more weight?

- We're old. - Save me.

I don't know why,

but Ms. Cao always has this magical energy

that sobers you up and warms you up.

Although her chicken soup isn't exactly delicious,

but I have to admit,

it's very nutritious.

And for those of us in our 30s,

nutrition

is more important

than taste.

Lin Yang.

You can recognize me even when I'm dressed like this.

[606]

What are you here to attend?

A themed party?

Mhmm. You?

Shouldn't Mr. Lawyer be very busy?

How come you have time to come to a place like this?

I'm with a client.

Then, you go on in.

I should be getting back too.

Lin Yang.

How are you?

How's your condition?

I'm fine.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with.

That's good, that's good.

Call me if anything happens to you in the future,

just like how we were before.

- Oh right, - You..

where's An An?

He moved out?

He didn't want to bother me.

Where did he move to?

In Qingning, he only knows the two of us.

Is he living in a hotel?

How does he have so much money on him?

I don't know.

He didn't say anything.

You don't know?

If you didn't know, didn't you think to ask?

I'm sorry.

It's my fault too.

It's none of your business.

You care about him quite a bit.

Of course.

Because he cares about me too.

I'm heading back.

You go ahead.

Oh my gosh.

I heard that you moved out of Xie Nan Ke's place.

This brat.

I didn't see anything, didn't see anything.

It's not my business.

[Dearest Wifey]

Hello?

What the heck are you doing?

You have time to post a Moment, but have no time to return my WeChat message?

You sent me a message?

I didn't notice.

You moved?

Who did you hear that from?

Xie Nan Ke?

It doesn't matter who I heard it from,

just tell me where you are right now.

Where are you right now?

Where I am is none of your business.

I'm asking you where you are.

You're that sick and you're out drinking?

Do you want to die?

Stop minding my business all the time, will you?

I'm your elder sister, not your...

Fine. Have fun drinking then.

I don't want to mind your business anymore.

Why is this woman so difficult?

Dumb kid.

How dare he hang up on me?

No manners.

What happened?

What are we dealing with?

My husband said...

My husband said that he doesn't want to be DINK anymore.

Why?

Because he loves me too much,

wants to make a fruit of our love with me.

May I ask...

He didn't love me when we were dating?

He didn't love me when he proposed?

We've been married for six years,

and all of a sudden, he loves me?

Liar.

Actually,

I think it's nice having a child.

Right now, having a child is not the problem,

he is the problem.

How dare he change his mind?

He just thinks that life is boring.

He doesn't love me anymore.

But will having a child make life interesting?

He also got his mom to force me.

What am I to him?

That bastard.

Leave her be.

You.

The two of you.

The two of you, listen up.

Make sure

to not take

what men say seriously.

Don't lose yourself.

Look at me.

At my age,

I don't want to have a baby,

and I'm even more afraid to get a divorce.

I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.

It's so hard!

She can't go home like this.

How about staying over at my place tonight?

It'll be even worse if she doesn't go home.

Her mother-in-law is here.

What about you?

I can't either.

Tong Tong has a low fever.

I'm afraid that my mom can't handle it.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Hurry home. Go on.

It's fine.

She's asleep already.

Look at her.

I'll stay with you a little while longer.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, I am.

Why am I in such misery?

This is so hard.

Cao Ling and I went to the same university.

She is gentle and kind,

has always been the best wife candidate in the minds of men.

Three years after she graduated,

she met Xiao Zhe, who is three years her junior.

The two of them fell in love at first sight.

No matter how strongly the people around them opposed to their relationship,

she still chose love without any hesitation.

♪I've been waiting for somebody to come through♪

♪When my heart stops for you♪

They got married after being together for less than a year.

When they were the most in love, she got pregnant with Tong Tong.

♪Don't know when I started falling for you♪

But marriage isn't just about romance,

it's about the daily necessities.

When passion fades,

the boring and trivial daily life,

together with Tong Tong's arrival,

problems between the two of them began to surface,

and they started to argue day and night.

♪When the world spins around I only see you♪

♪You'll be my wind shield and my war suit♪

♪Nothing will matter if I'm close to you♪

[Divorce Agreement]

♪With you♪

I'm sorry.

I think that

maybe I'm not suitable for family life.

Then why did we get married in the first place?

I was young back then,

didn't understand anything.

Now I've grown up

and have thought things through.

Leave the house, the car, and our child,

and get out of here ASAP.

Xiao Zhe chose freedom,

Cao Ling became a single mom.

♪When my heart stops for you♪

♪From the moment I knew♪

But she didn't tell anybody.

Didn't want to be laughed at.

Didn't want to lose the sliver of dignity she still had.

She gritted her teeth and moved forward

until she lost herself

and had nowhere to go.

♪Tried to hide all the feelings♪

♪Can't hide the truth♪

♪Love is all about you♪

♪When the world spins around I only see you♪

♪You'll be my wind shield and my war suit♪

Mom.

♪Nothing will matter if I'm close to you♪

Mom.

Can you come help me out?

♪With you♪

I can't do this by myself anymore.

♪When the world spins around I only see you♪

Life is like this sometimes.

The more you fight it,

the more you'll hurt yourself.

Showing weakness at times

may bring along new opportunities.

♪With you♪

[Resume] The position requires working extra hours on a regular basis.

We want someone who has some experience.

I'm sorry.

Maybe next time.

Just this month,

you've asked to take time off five times.

I'm sorry,

my child was sick.

I...

I'll work on the weekends

to make things up.

Coming to work is more than finishing the work on hand,

there's team-building as well.

Go on.

You don't need to come back.

♪With you♪

♪Love is all about you♪

Seven years after graduation,

I met Cao Ling by chance on the street

and started to keep in touch.

♪You'll be my wind shield and my war suit♪

I helped her get into Ruiye

and helped her hide her past.

Besides me,

no one else knows about

Xiao Zhe and Tong Tong.

♪With you♪

♪See me fly♪

♪I'm singing in the sky♪

♪I...♪

What comes after that?

Do you have her husband's number? Call him.

Don't call him.

We're not on speaking terms.

Do you know about not being on speaking terms?

Whoever talks first loses.

Then let's go all the way.

Don't go back home tonight.

Stay over at my place.

That's a bigger "no".

Drinking

is a form of protest,

it represents my attitude.

But not going home the entire night

is a matter of principle.

No can do.

You know, at a time like this,

I cannot give him the upper hand.

You know, marriage

is a war without gunpowder.

If you're not careful, you'll lose everything.

You have to attend to all aspects

in order to advance gradually.

After you two get married, I'll teach you some more.

Are you sure she's drunk?

Why am I a little dizzy?

I'm sure I kind of sympathize with her husband.

Call a designated driver.

Yang.

My back.

Be more gentle, she's injured.

So what?

Who doesn't have injuries nowadays?

But if there's an injury,

there must be medicine.

Don't you worry.

I'm here.

I'll help you look for the medicine.

Hurry and get a designated driver.

I'm telling you,

- Why isn't anyone picking up the order? - this medicine

sometimes...

I'm telling you guys,

sometimes it's a limited edition dress,

sometimes it's a little bag,

and sometimes

it's Little Fresh Meat falling from the sky.

What's taking so long?

You designated drivers

have such high hiring standards nowadays?

She's drunk.

- No, I'm not. - What are you doing here?

Are you coming home with us?

Can you still drink?

Yes, I can.

I didn't drink that much.

She's drunk.

I'm not drunk.

You can't hold her up, let me.

- Let him. - You don't know her that well.

Isn't she your friend?

Ling.

Come with me.

What are you doing?

Haven't seen a 30-year-old girl before?

Didn't you look in the mirror before you left?

What do you mean?

What 30-year-old girl?

Isn't this a 20-year-old Loli(ta)?

Where did you learn this?

Telling the truth doesn't need learning.

You haven't answered my question yet.

- Where did you move to...? - I'm living at the office.

Things aren't that great,

but it's more beneficial for work.

I had to ask Cousin to find out where you are.

I came because I'm worried

And I brought my driver's license,

just in case.

What are they doing?

Are you okay?

I'm very sober.

Is she flirting with Mr. Designated Driver right now?

Sober my ass.

He's not a designated driver.

Young Mister.

What are you doing?

Talk once we're in the car.

Talk in the car.

Young Mister.

Sing a song for us.

I'll sing once we're in the car.

Can't you sing right now?

Singing outside is too embarrassing.

You don't know how to sing?

I do.

Young Mister doesn't know how to sing.

I already said that I do.

How much do you earn per month?

Are you single?

Here, have some water.

I'm already married,

so...

But my friends are both single.

He's not a designated driver.

Designated driver at night,

works another job during the day.

Do kids nowadays all work this hard?

Is his main job an actor?

Or a model?

Why do you look so familiar?

Like I've seen you on the internet?

Yes yes yes.

You searched him up on the internet yourself.

You searched me up?

No, we weren't looking you up.

We weren't looking you up,

we were looking her childhood little brother up.

His name is Lu...

Lu Zheng An!

Lu Zheng An.

I don't understand.

You said that

he calls you "wifey" on his own will,

you didn't agree to it.

Don't you see him as a little brother on your own will?

Has he agreed to it?

Shut up.

I think that makes sense.

Right?

Yang.

Stop pretending.

There are no outsiders here.

Do you know why you're a salted fish

that cannot turn onto your back?

Your baggage is too heavy.

Who cares whether it can last forever?

Seize the day.

Haven't you always wanted a man?

There is a handsome, strong-looking one

right in front of your eyes.

Ling, gag her mouth.

Alright, alright. At your age,

why do you have so much to say? Drink some water.

I drank the whole thing already, you drink it.

Drink some more.

Here.

Let's

listen to some music,

sing a little, and chase the alcohol away.

- What should I order today? - Come on.

♪Mountain top, just follow along♪

♪Nothing is blocking the future♪

♪Day and night, just your and my love♪

♪Nothing is blocking the future♪

♪You're not here, I'm not here♪

♪Who is still here♪

We're here.

Let's go home.

I'm going.

- Bye. - Take it slow.

Bye.

Wifey.

You're really taking me for a designated driver

and you’re leaving so soon?

They both drank,

you...

Flower Fairy.

Alright.

Got some oil added.

Childish.

If you can say something childish,

like

"You're the best",

"You can do it",

then my gas tank will be full.

Don't move.

You brat,

you've grown taller,

I'm having a hard time reaching.

Add oil. [*Chinese saying for "do your best" and etc.]

You're the best.

You can do it.

That's it?

Didn't you tell me to say that?

Can't you put some heart into it?

I can't drive if you're like this.

Fine.

Let's do it again.

You've worked hard.

Having just arrived in Qingning,

you're still unfamiliar with the people and the city.

You have your own things to worry about

and you have to worry about me.

It's pretty tiring, right?

It's my bad.

I shouldn't have gotten angry at you,

shouldn't have let you worry.

So don't be like me,

make sure to take care of yourself.

Although I don't know much about music

and don't know what kind of advice to give you,

but I do know that

you're the best.

Even if you don't succeed

in the end,

you'll still be the coolest.

Add oil.

What is it?

Don't tell me you're crying.

Of course not.

My tank is full now, you can have some.

Alright.

Good night.

It's true.

No one has it easy,

but everyone has been working hard.

After all, being alive in the world,

everyone has one or two things

that they want to hold onto.

I'm not in a marriage,

I don't have a child,

I don't really have a dream,

but I have the dignity and pride of a single career woman.

So,

keep on fighting.

The 31-year-old me

can be defeated,

but cannot admit defeat.

In this beautiful morning,

wake up, Baby Lin.

As the saying goes,

people love an early-rising beauty,

no one cares about a late-rising beauty.

Don't pretend to work hard,

because the results won't put on an act with you.

By waking up early today,

a chance encounter

will change your entire life.

In the beautiful morning,

wake up, Baby Lin.

Morning, Sister Yang.

Morning.

[Ruiye Advertising Agency]

Morning, Sister Yang.

Morning.

Hi, Sister Yang.

Morning.

Hi, Sister Yang.

Morning.

In the future,

try not to wear such colourful clothing at the office.

After all, we often follow Mr. Hua out of the office,

it's better to dress appropriately.

Okay, I understand.

Anything else?

Welcome back.

I hope we can be at peace with one another in the future.

Looking forward to working with you.

Looking forward to working with you.

Hello, Mr. Hua.

Okay.

Today, he has got a fever

and went out to see her anyway.

- Why am I angry? - Yunlang...

I won't give her a hard time,

don't worry.

It would be bad if someone else sees.
