Episode 21
I want Ying Jie to be happy.
So I canceled the engagement.
You can call me pretentious.
Even after being hurt by him, I still want him to be happy.
But I genuinely want to find out the cause of his insecurities.
He can only be truly happy if he confronts it.
Since Ying Jie lacks courage
let's think of a way to give him courage.
We can help him face this challenge.
It's not us, it's you.
I no longer have the right to do anything for him.
Only you can do something because you're the one in his heart.
Me?
But Uncle Zheng...
I've already forced Ying Jie to tell Uncle Zheng that he likes you.
They all know about it?
When did this happen?
Last night.
Why did you do that?
Because a problem can only be solved if we choose to face it.
Perhaps forcing Ying Jie so that he can't retreat
is the only way we can help him overcome his insecurities.
Xuan Xuan, thank you.
I will try my best to help Ying Jie.
Ying Jie has been under a lot of pressure lately.
He deserves it.
Do you want to eat cake?
I don't know what you like to eat.
Dad, Mom.
Dad, Mom.
Zheng Ying Qian, where are Mom and Dad?
They went out early this morning.
They said they're not coming home tonight.
Dad went out?
Yeah.
This isn't the first time that Mom and Dad are staying out overnight.
Why are you acting like it's the end of the world?
Don't worry.
Hey, I just read a joke on the internet. Have a look.
Were they in a good mood when they left?
Yes, everything was normal.
Zheng Ying Qian.
Don't let the Xias find out that I like Xia Man An.
Why? Why can't they know?
Dad isn't going to agree to this.
Don't cause the Xias any trouble.
Ying Jie, are you worried about this?
I'm not.
Dad didn't even oppose it when he heard that I liked Xia Man An.
That's so strange.
Ying Jie, don't you know our relationship with the Xias?
Dad and Mom both adore Xia Man An. Why would they oppose it?
Just don't say anything.
Don't cause any unnecessary trouble.
But...
All right, I won't say anything. I'll keep my mouth shut.
Just like the clams Auntie Ping buys, I won't say a word.
Ying Jie has always been an obedient son.
I don't find it strange that he made a choice like this.
What I'm confused about is, why did he choose to resist later on?
Since he had the courage to do that
why didn't he choose to persist?
Don't you think it's strange that he's being so wishy-washy?
It's so unlike him.
Ying Jie.
So you weren't home.
Why are you here?
I sent you a message saying that I wanted to talk to you about something
but you didn't reply, so I came here to see you.
I put my phone on silent so I didn't hear it.
Don't worry, that's not important.
I came here to tell you...
don't tell anyone that you like me.
If anyone asks you, don't admit it.
Why?
This is for your own good.
For my own good?
If that's the case, why don't you just accept my love?
Let's not argue about this. Just listen to me.
I don't want to!
Ying Jie, I finally know that you like me too.
My feelings for you wouldn't be any less than your feelings for me.
I know.
But I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
Who would get hurt from this?
Aren't you aware that my dad really cares about family background?
Of course I'm aware.
That's why I've been working really hard to match up to you.
I'm not going to give up so easily.
But why are you giving up on me?
I don't want you to get hurt.
When I decided to confess my love, I was already prepared for this.
In my memory, you were always someone stronger than me.
Why have you become a coward now?
Because Man An, this issue isn't just something between the two of us.
- This affects... - But you also fought back, didn't you?
Or are you choosing not to fight back any more because it involves me?
That doesn't make any sense.
Also, why do you have to choose between love and family?
Would choosing me make you lose your family?
No, why would you think that way?
Then what are you worrying about?
If you love me and want to protect me, and were able to oppose Uncle Zheng
then why can't you show some persistence?
What is the reason for not persisting?
Or do you also think that I'm not good enough for you?
- No, I don't. Man An... - Then tell me!
I wasn't afraid of getting hurt or being looked down upon
when I confessed my love to you.
Why can't you do it?
I wasn't afraid of getting hurt or being looked down upon
when I confessed my love to you.
Why can't you do it?
Xia Man An.
What did you say?
What did you just say to Ying Jie? Say it one more time.
Papa Xia, actually...
I told you to say it one more time! Do you hear me?
I said I like Ying Jie!
- Xia Man An. - Come home with me.
Papa Xia, calm down first.
Ying Jie, this issue is between Man An and me.
Please let us handle it ourselves. Sorry, I can't greet you today.
- Papa Xia, actually... - Dad!
Ying Jie, please don't interfere.
Xin Ru, I want to end our current relationship.
Really? You're willing? Are you really willing?
I love you so much. Yay! We're getting married!
Wait.
What if Xin Ru doesn't understand that I want to end our dating relationship
and upgrade it to a marriage relationship.
What if she thinks I want to break up with her?
That's not good. I have to think of another way.
Let's see if there are any good ideas.
Tell me, when did all this start?
Tell me!
What happened? Did you guys argue?
It started when I was little. I've liked Ying Jie for a long time.
You...
You like Ying Jie?
He's our boss!
Do you know how much effort the Chairman put into educating him?
The Zheng family business rests on his shoulders!
He's also Miss Xuan Xuan's fiance!
Can you face Chairman and Madam without shame?
All right, don't speak so harshly. Speak nicely.
Yeah, Dad. Man An just likes Ying Jie. It's not that serious.
Facing them without shame, you sound like you're filming an ancient drama.
It's the 21st century now.
So what if it's the 21st century?
Can you lose your honesty and honor?
Dad, Xuan Xuan and Ying Jie aren't married yet.
We should all have the freedom to love.
What does it have to do with honesty and honor.
- Be quiet. - You're way too upset over this.
Enough, stop causing more trouble.
I'm not. What century are we living in?
If Princess Diana can marry into the Royal Family
why can't Man An like Ying Jie?
Even though we're not as wealthy as the Zhengs
at least we have a clean background.
It's not like we can't match up to the Zheng family.
Your sister is immature. As her brother, why are you also acting immature?
Talking such nonsense.
Dad, I honestly think that relationships...
Shut up!
Do you guys know how much effort and hope the Chairman has put into Ying Jie?
Can our family match up to them?
The Chairman allowed you guys to play with each other when you were young.
That's because he respected and trusted us.
He treated us like family and took care of us.
They treated us with so much kindness!
But now you've betrayed them.
Don't you feel shameful?
Dad, it's not that serious.
Xia Man Wu! Stop talking!
All right, stop being angry.
Listen. Tomorrow morning when you get to work, resign right away.
- Dad! - Shut up!
You better stay away from Ying Jie. Stay away from him!
Rong Fa.
I don't understand why Dad is so stubborn.
All right, stop being angry. Relax.
This is such a big issue, how am I supposed to relax?
Whenever I think about Man An liking General Manager
I... I feel that I've betrayed the Chairman.
I don't get it, why is Man An so immature?
You can't put all the blame on Man An.
Man An isn't that immature.
She mentioned that she didn't want to work there, but we forced her to go.
To be honest, we are also responsible for this.
The two of them grew up together.
It's normal that they gradually developed feelings for each other.
If you have to put the blame on someone, we should just blame ourselves.
As adults, we didn't think it through.
Anyways, all we can do now is to tell Man An to stop seeing Ying Jie.
But... Ying Jie appears to really care about Man An as well.
If they truly love each other
separating them is going to be difficult.
