Love & Life & Lie (遇见爱情的利先生)

Yao Nan told me,

that you threw all the things that have to do with his mom away.

It was so hard for him to keep two photos,

but this is...

This photo..

I hid it on my watch for over 20 years already.

Yao Nan's mom was the only woman I loved.

Ever since she left, there wasn't one day I didn't hate myself.

I kept working hard to earn money,

hoping to be atoned.

Do you know

why I invest so much in Design Republic?

Because not only was it Yao Nan's dream,

but it was a dream shared between me and Yao Nan's mom.

When I first met Yao Nan's mom,

I was just a mover for their family.

I never would have thought that she would not care for anything to be with me,

even turning away from her family.

We lived in a small little room.

There was nothing, only a bed.

Later, we found some time to steal and find wood to make our own furniture.

We made our own chairs, tables, cabinets.

There was also a big closet.

At that time, we were thinking.

In the future, we needed to make our own furniture company.

This was our dream together.

Uncle Li, then why did you do those things later on?

Why did Yao Nan's mom... become like that?

It was all my fault.

I kept earning money until I lost my way.

Now, my retribution is here.

I've lost everything.

She left and Yao Nan left too.

Li Group isn't even holding up now,

the shareholders want to sell it. Design Republic...

Design Republic has been acquired by Ji Bai Jun.

Now...

I have nothing left now.

Uncle, you shouldn't put everything in your heart.

You should tell Yao Nan. He will definitely understand.

He will definitely forgive you.

He won't forgive me.

I don't hope that he forgives me.

My only wish now is for Ji Bai Jun to give his full support,

and let Yao Nan take over Design Republic. Then I will be content.

But I heard Uncle Ji say that he will be handing Design Republic over to Zhen Yu-ge.

I know that.

Yao Nan is my son, not his.

Why would he trust Yao Nan enough to leave it to him?

That's why...

The only person who can help me now is you.

I...

I know that you're about to get married to Zhen Yu.

But you probably know that Yao Nan still loves you in the depths of his heart.

So whatever you say, he'll listen.

So Mr. Li,

what would you like me to say?

I hope that you can tell Yao Nan to be with Zhi Zhen.

Because only until he is with Zhi Zhen, then Ji Bai Jun will trust him enough.

Only then will Yao Nan run Design Republic wholeheartedly.

Miss Liu, I don't have any other way.

You should know that in this lifetime, I've never begged anybody for anything.

But for Yao Nan,

I'm begging you. - What are you doing, Uncle Li?

I'm begging you to help Yao Nan. - Please get up, Uncle.

I'm begging you.

I promise you. Uncle, please get up.

Thank you. You're a good child.

Xin Tong, why did you return so late?

It took you that long to get the medicine?

Something came up, I was delayed.

Zhen Yu-ge, I have to go out tomorrow to deal with a matter.

I won't come back in the evening.

If you need anything, just tell Xiao Lan, okay?

A matter? What do you need to deal with?

Is it something to do with the company?

Didn't Dad tell you? You don't have to worry about the company for now.

It's just a small personal matter. Don't worry.

I will come back really quickly.

Good night.

Xin Tong.

You won't leave me, right?

I won't.

I love you.

Okay.

Go to sleep early.

After I've dealt with this last thing,

I'll be at ease and marry Zhen Yu-ge.

Then everyone can relax too.

Come in.

You've gotten thinner.

I'm getting married to Zhen Yu-ge next month.

Do you know,

you don't look as good when you're thin?

You were originally pretty small already.

Normally, you seem like a middle school student.

If you get any thinner, you'll look like a elementary school kid.

Are you hungry? I'll make you a poached egg.

Do you know, I make poached eggs everyday now.

I think my skill

is already quickly catching up to yours.

If you don't believe me, I'll make it right now.

I also don't know why things turned out this way.

Zhen Yu-ge saved me. I must do this.

I have no other choice.

I think it's very hard.

I understand, Xin Tong. I understand.

Right now, we...

only have 24 hours left to be together.

Before, didn't we say

that we were going to celebrate Valentine's Day together?

That we were going to celebrate Christmas together?

Yes.

We did say that we were going to celebrate Valentine's Day together,

celebrate Christmas together.

And celebrate National Tree-planting Day together.

Okay.

Then today, we shall

celebrate all the holidays that we haven't before.

Don't cry anymore.

Let's celebrate a holiday now, called Baby Don't Cry Holiday.

Xin Tong!

Merry Christmas!

Chocolate. A rose.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Here, give me your hand.

So good. New Year's money, Happy New Year.

We are this happy, let's take a picture.

Okay, we've succeeded!

We've finished celebrating National Tree-planting Day.

I feel so happy today, celebrating all these holidays.

Not enough. What have we done so far?

There's also Father's Day, Mother's Day,

Children's Day, Anticancer Day,

World AIDS day.

If we want to celebrate all these holidays,

we'll need eight or ten years time.

You can only leave after we've finished celebrating.

Yeah.

Okay, let's take a picture.

Take out your phone.

Squat down a bit.

You even messed up the hairstyle.

There's one last day we haven't celebrated,

your birthday.

This is a birthday gift for you.

Those over there are also your gifts.

Next year's birthday gift,

next, next year's birthday gift,

and a birthday gift for the year after that.

I bought all this for you when you weren't here.

Whenever I'm walking on the streets, when I see something, I'll think,

Xin Tong might like this too.

That might make her laugh.

If Xin Tong wears that, she would look really pretty.

Can you write a number on each gift?

Otherwise, when I open a gift each year,

I wouldn't know which one to open first, which one to open next.

Okay.

I'll write numbers on them for you.

Take all these gifts home with you.

Remember, every year on your birthday,

you can only open one gift.

Open one every year,

when you've finished opening them all,

that means I've stopped loving you.

I won't say anymore.

Let's sing the Happy Birthday song first, and then make a wish.

Xin Tong,

I'll make a wish.

Are you not sleeping?

Nope.

I know that as soon as I close my eyes,

you might disappear.

In this world,

things always turn out contrary to what one wishes.

I used to think everything in the world was easy.

As long as you worked hard enough,

you can do anything.

But now I know,

there's a lot of situations where there is nothing you can do.

Just like now.

I'm watching the woman I love marry another man soon,

but I'm powerless.

Zhen Yu-ge is really good to me.

I know.

This has made me really happy,

but it's really painful at the same time.

I'm happy because there will be a day,

you will fall in love with him because of how good he is to you.
