Be with You (好想談戀愛)

Episode 27

This is where my feelings for you first developed.

Sorry, I'm late.

But... you still came.

Elope?

Man An, how old are you? Playing such childish games.

Does your dad know you came to Hualian to elope?

Seriously.

How sad would your parents be after finding out about this?

Granny, don't blame Man An.

She's doing this for me. It's because...

I didn't have much courage so...

You don't have courage? So you're saying Man An forced you to do this?

Granny, what are you saying? That's not the case.

Shut up.

- Granny... - You too.

I don't care what the reason is eloping isn't the right thing to do.

It's not going to solve anything.

You're just trying to avoid trouble.

Yes, I agree with Granny.

Eloping is just running away from problems.

Ying Jie.

Granny, I didn't come here today to run away from my problems.

I want to be honest with my feelings.

I also didn't want to let Man An down.

It's easier said than done.

Granny, Ying Jie showed his commitment by coming here.

Stop siding with him!

Granny, don't be angry.

I know my decision was rash.

But we're already here. Just let us stay for three days.

Three days from now, we'll go back to Taipei and face our problems.

Granny, if you don't support our decision

don't worry, Man An can stay here and I can stay somewhere else nearby.

Do you think it's that easy to find a place close by?

If you run away with with Man An, what am I going to tell her parents?

Granny! Ying Jie isn't going to do that.

Well, I already prepared the rooms.

It's up to you guys if you want to stay or not.

But you're only allowed to stay here for three days.

Three days from now, go back to Taipei and face the consequences.

You guys can't keep running away.

Xin Ru, have you been waiting for a long time?

No, I just arrived.

Sorry, I only had free time at lunch so I had to ask you to come over here.

It's okay, I only have to go to work in the afternoon.

I also kind of know what you're going to say.

It's okay, you can ask me directly.

Then... can you tell me why you rejected Man Wu's proposal?

I like Man Wu, I really like him.

But... I think it's still a little too soon to get married.

Really? You guys have been dating for three years.

You guys are also at the right age to get married. It's not too soon.

What I mean is, Man Wu isn't able to support a family right now.

Man Wu has a really laid back personality.

I can accept that if we're just dating.

But starting a family is different from dating.

There's a lot of responsibility.

You know. He doesn't really have a sense of responsibility.

He just does whatever he wants to. I...

Xin Ru.

You know. He doesn't really have a sense of responsibility.

He just does whatever he wants to. I...

Xin Ru, if it's because of that, then... you don't need to worry.

If you don't like my laid back personality how about I report everything I do to you?

Xin Ru, I'm sorry.

Man Wu found out that I was going to see you, so he insisted on coming along.

What are you doing? It hurts!

Didn't you say you were going to let me talk to Xin Ru?

Why are you interfering with our conversation?

Don't worry.

This was meant to be something between us

but we keep bothering you. Sorry about that.

Not at all! Everyone in my family really likes you.

We really want you to become a part of our family.

All right, since you're still unsure about what I said yesterday

let's talk later.

Xia Man Wu, Xin Ru is willing to talk with you.

You better listen carefully, don't be rash. Got it?

Yes.

All right then, we won't bother you any more. We'll leave now.

Have a good chat.

Let's go.

If there's anything you want to say, go ahead.

But my sister told me that I should listen to what you have to say.

What I wanted to say, I already said last night.

Now I want to listen to what you have to say.

Okay, I'll go ahead.

If you don't like my casual personality

I can promise you I'll report everything I do.

I'll listen to you.

As for the unpaid leave you mentioned yesterday, I've thought about it.

Even though I'm on unpaid leave now, we still have a mutual fund.

So getting married now shouldn't be a problem.

Man Wu, do you still remember that we both worked really hard for two years

to save up for that mutual fund, and we have yet to reach NT$600,000 yet?

And back then we said that if we were going to get married

we could use that money for the wedding or the honeymoon.

But that was because we didn't want our parents to worry too much about us.

- Do you still remember? - Yes.

If you think we haven't saved enough, we can just have a simple wedding.

Or we can go to a cheaper place for our honeymoon.

That way, we wouldn't be spending too much money.

We can use the leftover money after we get married.

A wedding only lasts for a day but marriage lasts forever.

Money isn't the only problem.

Then... what other problems are there?

After marriage, is family. A family has basic expenses.

Maybe we'll have children in the future.

All of which require stability.

You don't need to worry about that.

I've thought about it.

After we get married, we can still live at home.

That way we would save on rent, utility, and electricity.

With our income, living a stable life shouldn't be a problem.

If we have a baby, we can let our parents take care of the baby.

We can have couple time if we want to.

No one will bother us. How good is that?

We can't expect our parents to help out with everything.

But I think my parents are willing to help out.

Man Wu, this is what I mean by you not being ready.

I've never thought about asking my parents to help out.

I think you still haven't realized

how much responsibility there is in supporting a family.

That's why I said we should just date.

Let's talk about marriage again later.

Xin Ru, do you feel this way because

I can't give you the sense of security needed for marriage?

So if I can give you a sense of security, you're willing to marry me?

Marriage is different from dating.

Being a sweet guy isn't enough.

Okay, I got it.

I'll try my best to give you the sense of security you need.

Okay?

Really?

Give me some time, I'll prove it to you.

Okay.

Don't you need to go back to Hsin Chu?

I'll go with you to the station.

No. I'll go to work with you and then I'll go catch the train myself.

Let's go.

Oh yeah, do you want to take a photo?

Take a photo?

For memories. I thought you loved taking photos of our first time in everything.

Oh yeah, we better capture a certain someone's first failed proposal.

This isn't a failed proposal.

Strictly speaking, this should be an argument.

This is the first time we've argued after being together for so many years.

That's because I've always tolerated you.

Yeah, I know you always tolerate me. You're the best.

Argument. It's an argument, not a failed proposal.

- Argument plus failed proposal. - No!

After the cake is made, we'll make some tea. Let's eat it all.

Eat it all? Aren't we going to save some for the Chairman?

He went to the South today to play golf with his friends. Don't worry about him.

No wonder I haven't seen him all day.

Cui Ping, what's wrong?

You don't seem to be in a good mood. What's the matter?

I'm thinking about Man Wu.

What happened to Man Wu?

He proposed to Xin Ru but she rejected him.

Why? Haven't they been dating for a long time?

Yeah, that's why I'm confused. I don't know what she's thinking.

Go ask Xin Ru why she rejected the proposal.

I want to but Rong Fa said not to get involved in their business.

He told me not to think about it and said I shouldn't interfere.

I was thinking, could Xin Ru be worried about the relationship between us

as mother and daughter-in-law?

But I don't think I've been pressuring them enough.

Mother and daughter-in-law relationship problems have always existed.

When my mother-in-law was alive

I would treat her with so much respect.

If she stood, I wouldn't dare to sit.

If she didn't drink, even if I was thirsty I wouldn't dare drink.

Exactly.

I had to volunteer to do everything.

I was afraid that my mother-in-law would get angry.

Yeah. We had to be so careful as daughter-in-laws.

We had to be careful with our words, have good manners

and make our mother-in-laws happy in order to have a good life.

That was us.

This younger generation isn't like us.

I try to make it so that Xin Ru doesn't have to do anything.

If she helps out, I say thank you to her very respectfully.

People say daughter-in-laws wait to become mother-in-laws.

I'm a mother-in-law now but my life isn't any easier.

I've already tried my best but she still wouldn't agree to marry Man Wu.

Being a daughter-in-law was hard.

And now, being a mother-in-law is even harder.

Cui Ping, could it be you're treating Xin Ru too well?

That's why Xin Ru doesn't care too much about what you think.

As a parent, you have to show her some attitude.

You have to let her know that you can also get upset.

Is being upset a parent's attitude?

Of course! Just like how we described our mother-in-laws.

You have to take not of the expression of your eyes, your breath, and attitude.

Pressure.

You have to put her under some pressure.

Then she'll know to respect the opinions of the elderly.

Put her under pressure?
