ENGSUB|Cold CEO Thought Poor Girl Was a Gold Digger, Until One “Hubby” Broke Him Down💕 #cdrama

I can go on the date, but whether it’s successful is not my concern. You only took three years to surpass Mr. Ma, Mr. Teng, Mr.i Lei, and that unknown commercial genius. So many rich daughters are lining up to marry you. I really don’t know what the old man is thinking. Clearly, he’s a Forbes Top 1 tycoon, yet he insists on living in a nursing home and wants Mr. Tao to have blind dates there. Oh dear, is this supposed to be a successful date or not? I don’t know how old Tao got involved with Grandma, but now I have to come to a dump like this for a date. Old thing, are you blind? Where are you putting that crummy cane? If I get hurt, even sell your whole family, you couldn’t afford it. Grandpa Tao, are you okay? Old Tao, I’m here for a date with your grandson! Like grandfather, like grandson. Miss, please show some respect. Respect? You deserve respect? Grandpa. I’m Tao Shouyan. Hello. You must be Miss Shi, for the date. I have no car, no money, no job. You’ve really misunderstood. I… You’re Tao Shouyan? I’m Shi Wei. No car, no money, no house, and you dare to date me? Dream on! Tao Shouyan, if you want to marry me, you have to buy me a villa in the city center. And also, 1,880,000 as a betrothal gift. Miss Shi, what makes you think I want to marry you? What a waste of my time. Incel. What’s the use of good looks? Such a waste. Yueyue, let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Tao Shouyan. He’s been developing his career abroad, just returned. Grandson, this is… Grandpa, don’t trust everyone. You don’t know what she’s scheming. Oh, right, aren’t you supposed to have a check-up today? Let me take you there. Forget it. Yueyue already took me for a check-up. Yueyue, I remember aren’t you supposed to get your marriage license with your boyfriend today? Today, did I delay your plans? No, Grandpa Tao. I don’t need to go today. I want to marry you, an orphan, to give you a family. Why aren’t you satisfied? The down payment was 600,000. I scraped together 400,000, 200,000 of which I borrowed. But now the house is registered under your names, with no connection to me. You could move in together, but why force me to quit my job and care for you at home? Claiming it’s for my own good? This 888 dowry— I’ll return it. Let’s break up. Why? Same reason as Miss Shi earlier— bride price negotiation fell apart. Yueyue, what do you think of my grandson? You two should get married. Grandpa, stop teasing me. Yueyue, if you agree, name any dowry amount— it’s your call. Not just 1.88 million, even 188 million— I can afford it. Another secret: My grandson now leads Tao— Grandpa, regarding marriage, let us discuss privately. If you could handle it, my great-grandson would be old enough to run errands. Go ahead. Grandpa Tao, since your grandson’s here, I’ll take my leave. I’ll visit you another day. This… Why won’t you let me speak? Why don’t you let me speak? You didn’t tell that woman earlier either. Yueyue is different from Shi Wei. To me, they’re exactly the same. Ugh… What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? My head, back, and butt all hurt. I’m done for! If you don’t marry Yueyue I’ll die from the pain! Grandpa, what’s with this act again? All these years, if it weren’t for Yueyue’s care I would’ve died in that nursing home. You wouldn’t even know! I just want Yueyue to be my grand-daughter-in-law. Ancestor’s debt, descendant’s duty. You should marry her to repay me. Is my request too unreasonable? I disagree. There’s no saving me now. Your parents died young, leaving you and me. Fine, fine! I’ll talk to her, alright? Deal. Promise made. But let’s set some terms first. I’ll talk to her but she can’t know about our true identities. Also, no wedding banquet. If she can’t agree to these terms, drop this obsession. Fine. Grandson, don’t come begging me for help if you want to date Yueyue. Remember this. Gotta go, kid. Take it slow, Grandpa. Chen Zixin, give me the 400,000 fast or we’ll meet in court. Putting on quite the act in front of Grandpa, huh? Showing your true colors now. Miss. Lin, we need to talk. About what? My grandpa wants you to marry into our family. No way! Grandpa Tao was joking. Don’t take it seriously! Marriage isn’t really a necessity for me. Who I marry doesn’t matter. But marrying you would make Grandpa happy. Let me introduce myself. I’m Tao Shouyan. No car, no house, no job. With these circumstances, you wouldn’t want to marry me. I’m Lin Yue. No family, interning at Yihua Company, earning around 3,000 a month. Yihua? What’s your condition? Hmm. Do you have savings? Not much, but enough to live on. I want a 300,000 dowry. But you can’t ask Grandpa Tao for it. If you agree, we’ll get married. Uncle. You… what are you doing in my house? Your house? Since when? Your grandma passed away a year ago. I’m selling this house for your cousin’s wedding. You worthless girl! Get out! You’re affecting the sale. Uncle, sell the house to me instead. Dear niece, are you serious? 600,000. Paid upfront. 600,000… Listen, Uncle… Give me some time. No way. Unless you pay 600,000, you’ll never step foot in this house again. That desperate for money? If that’s too much, 200,000 will do. But that’s my final offer. Chen Zixin owes me 400,000. With 200,000 dowry, I can buy back Grandma’s house. Full ownership. Fair enough. What’s your dowry? I have a house. You can live there. I’ll add your name to the deed. Besides, it’s near the senior center. Easy to check on Grandpa Tao. Let’s go. Get our marriage license. Ready for the photo. Three Two One Sorry. There’s something we should clarify. Go ahead. Here’s a contract. Our marriage lasts for one year. Sign if you agree. Does Grandpa Tao know about this? What? Gonna tattle on me? No. Since it’s contractual, skip the wedding banquet. No need to embarrass you later as a divorcee. Hmm. Okay. Grandpa Tao’s grandson is such an arrogant narcissist. Well… It’s getting late. Go check on Grandpa. I’ll order food. That’s too extravagant! I’ll buy groceries
and cook at home instead. Hello, Mr. Tao. That’s too extravagant! I’ll buy groceries and cook at home instead. Hmm, either way. Your call. Grandpa must be starving. You go ahead first. I… need to handle something I’ll catch up later. Okay. Alright then. Mr. Tao. I was waving at you, didn’t you see me? I noticed. Come here! Over here! Right now! I meant for you to leave! Go! Hurry up! That’s the Madam? Be cautious around her. Keep my identity hidden from her. Understood. By the way… Tell Mr. Lei from Yihua to come see me immediately. Make it quick. Yes, Mr. Tao. Why meet with such a small company like Yihua? This is insane. Hurry up! Come here! Leave! Come here! Leave! Leave? Come here! Mr. Lei, regarding the Sky City project, many firms are bidding for it. Why should I trust Yihua Group’s capabilities? Yes, yes, of course. You’re absolutely right, Mr. Tao. If we’re entrusted with the Sky City development, we’ll definitely spare no effort to deliver. Feel free to inspect our progress anytime. By the way, does your company have an intern named Lin Yue? Grandpa Tao, dinner’s ready! Hmm? Wait a minute, why are you still calling me Grandpa Tao? Grandpa, please have a seat. Alright Excellent. Yueyue, remember, from now on, we’ll formally become a proper family. Our marriage lasts one year. If you agree, sign here please. Grandpa, I’m home. Everyone’s here. Let’s eat, Grandpa. Okay. Why are you stunned? Let’s eat! I need to discuss something with you. Here’s the thing. Now that we’re legally married, I believe Grandpa shouldn’t stay at the senior care facility. I want to bring him back home. He won’t agree. He loves the community there. I’ve asked him repeatedly but he refuses. I agree! I agree! Who said I disagree? By the way, I’m right here keeping an eye on you two. Hurry up and give me a great-grandson. A healthy chubby one! Grandpa, let’s eat. Go ahead and eat! Grandpa, you chat first. I’ll wash the dishes. You kid, if you’re determined to mooch off others, at least act accordingly. Do some housework voluntarily. Got it? Are you going or not? Grandpa, my phone’s full of work messages. No time for housework! Are you even trying? Alright. Let me do it. Oh. It’s fine. I’ll wash them. No problem. I’ll handle the washing. Give it here. I’ll do it, really! Don’t worry. You’ve never done this before. Be careful with your hands! Did your mouth come cursed? Let me check. I told you not to do this. You’ll hurt yourself! Just get out. You’re in the way. Well then, be more careful. What are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to sleep with me? Keep it down. Don’t wake Grandpa up. Lin Yue, let me remind you— this is a contract marriage. I know. Don’t get any funny ideas. I don’t. Take your hand off my chest first, maybe I’ll believe you. Take your hand off my chest first, maybe I’ll believe you. Didn’t expect this man got nice physique. Lin Yue. I need to talk to you. Spit it out. Well… Could you possibly give me that bride price money first? Hmph. Hmph. I actually felt bad for you earlier. When it comes to money, you really can’t wait. Uncle promised me, if I pay half upfront, I can get the house back for living. Just 200,000. 300,000 just transferred to you. Thanks. Thank you so much. I knew it. Gold digger stays gold digger. Showing your true colors already? Eventually, I’ll put your name on the property deed. Save it. How are we sleeping tonight? Everything’s prearranged? Just a contractual marriage. Keep this line! Hey! Don’t cross the line. Tell that to yourself! Useless! Pathetic. Crap, I’m gonna be late! Grandpa, I’m off to work. Don’t overexert yourself. Remember to eat. Bye now. Be careful out there. Got it. Grandpa, I’m heading to work. Some people are all bark, no bite. Completely useless. Even after marriage, can’t even get close to their wives. Pathetic. This kid… What are you all doing? Lin Yue, didn’t you check the group chat? Mr. Tao from Tao Group is visiting the company today. Tao Group? Exactly! Tao Group’s Sky City project partnered with our company! If this deal goes through, we could see Mr. Tao every day! That’d be amazing! I heard Mr. Tao is young, handsome, and successful. He’s the heartthrob of socialites! Stop daydreaming! A man like Mr. Tao has women lining up! You… You’d be at the back of a mile-long queue. By the time he notices you, you’ll be in… What? Underground. Why you gotta be so blunt? Jerk. Stop dawdling! What’s the hold-up? Get downstairs to greet Mr. Tao! Listen up! Anyone who screws up and jeopardizes the Sky City deal loses triple pay! Got it? Smile, ladies! Move! Mr. Tao specifically requested Lin Yue. So have he to host him is a perfect choice! Lin Yue, come here. Lin Yue, with your status, you think you can get close to Mr. Tao? Day after day, scheming to climb the social ladder. You jump at every opportunity. Do you even know your place? Someone like you wouldn’t be fit to tie Mr. Tao’s shoes. You’re beneath his notice. Mr. Lei approved this. If you have complaints, take it up with him. Mr. Lei has probably been bewitched by your schemes. Wait till his wife comes for you. Don’t expect to keep your job. Wait… What are you doing? Sir, why would you visit a small firm like Yihua? Lin Yue, you gold-digging wannabe! With my current position appearing at Yihua, I’ll expose your hypocrisy to everyone. Hello? Huh? I’m coming right away. Yueyue, where are you going? Hmph. Lin Yue, the moment you heard that the CEO of Tao Group is coming, you primped yourself all fancy to throw yourself at him. Ran away when you saw it’s me. Afraid I’d expose your true colors in public? Greetings, Mr. Tao, for your gracious visit. This brings great honor to our humble Yi Hua. Please come in. Mr. Tao, good day. I’m… Doctor, how is he? You must help me save my grandpa! The patient’s coronary artery has atherosclerosis. Urgent surgery required. Go pay the deposit now. Okay. I’ll pay. Doctor, how much approximately? 300,000. The patient’s condition is critical. Hurry now. Understood. Doctor, I’ll go pay immediately. Please save him, I beg you! Go. Since Yi Hua has partnered with Tao Group on this cooperation, Mr. Lei, I need the Sky City project design to receive satisfactory proposals ASAP. Absolutely. We’ll spare no effort to meet your high expectations. Mr. Tao, the chairman had heart failure. In emergency surgery now. What?! I’m sorry. I’m late. I’m sorry. I didn’t get to see you one last time. Tao Shouyan, Grandpa’s surgery is done. Resting in the ward now. So sorry about this. My apologies. Where’s Grandpa? Shouyan, don’t worry anymore. Grandpa’s okay now. Today, thank you. Not at all. Looking after Grandpa is my responsibility. The doctor said the surgery went perfectly. He just needs rest and a positive mindset. No anger. And stay positive? Hard. This is so tough. Some grandson is real piece of work. I nearly died, and he never showed! I survive, now he appears! Yueyue any use now? No use. If I hadn’t prepared for the worst, found a good granddaughter-in-law… Now, I’d be in a coffin! Grandpa, don’t talk like that. He’s busy. Busy with what? Who’d believe that? He’s unemployed! Unless… Busier than you the breadwinner? Ridiculous! Not even me would buy that. I was at their office discussing a project. A crucial project! Shoo! Shoo! Go. Get out! Grandpa! Stay calm. Please don’t be angry! About Grandpa’s emergency, why didn’t you call me? I forgot. The hospital called, I rushed here immediately. I was right there in your office, how’d you miss me?! You came to our office? I’m truly sorry. Didn’t notice you there. Could she really not see me? I remember now. Are you there for an interview, right? The interview? Let me tell you, our company offers excellent benefits and perks. What position are you applying for? I can check for you internally. No need. Why? You didn’t pass? Don’t lose heart. Apply to a few more companies. You’ll find a job for sure. Lin Yue, answer me. You only earn 3,000 monthly. Where’d you get the money for grandpa’s surgery? Didn’t you give me the 300,000 dowry? That’s exactly enough for grandpa’s operation. Hmph. She must’ve realized my true identity today. A gold-digger like her wouldn’t spend 300,000 to save grandpa. I’ll go home to make soup. Then you deliver it. I work day shifts, so I’ll take night duty. Relieve me in the morning. Could her care for us be genuine? I misjudged her? No ginger or garlic. When cooking, leave them out. I’m cooking for grandpa. Don’t be picky! Yueyue, let’s get married. Yueyue, let’s get married. My mom said, the deed will be in your name. The bride price will be as we agreed before. Don’t touch me! Chen Zixin! We’ve already broken up. Can you please stop harassing me? Stop it. Let’s go back. Apologize to my mom properly. And we can forget about this. I’ll say it one more time. I’m already married. If you dare harass me again, I’ll call the police. You’re married? You’re kidding me! No one else wants you but me. Really? He’s my husband. Impossible! Explain yourself! Who are you? Mind your own business. Can’t you understand? I’m her husband. Lin Yue! You’re cuckolding me! We’ve been together so long, because of the bride price negotiation, you turned around and married someone else?! My mom was right. You’re just a gold digger, a slut! Chen Zixin! Can you please stop slandering me? You think Lin Yue really likes you? You’re just a worm in her fish pond. Not even a fish. Once she’s scammed all your money, she’ll kick you away like a soccer ball. Then, you’ll be like a stray dog, worse than a dog. Chen Zixin, you… I know what kind of person she is. I can judge for myself. But you, after the breakup, you’re still harassing her. At the slightest disagreement, you start cursing. I don’t think you’re any better either. I’m just warning you out of kindness. Women like her only care about money, She married you for money today, and she’ll leave you for wealth tomorrow. That’s none of your business. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude. Fine. You damned couple! Just wait and see! Shouyan. Thank… Thank you. Lin Yue, where’s my money? Lin Yue, you’re quite something. Got some guts now, huh? You didn’t pay a single cent, yet want to live here? And brought home some random guy! Uncle. These past few days, I’ve had some minor issues. Can you give me a few more days? I’ve already given you three days. This house is worth 600,000. Asking for 300,000 first and letting you stay, was already showing mercy for family’s sake. You’re getting off easy. You still owe me 300,000! This house belongs to Yueyue. Grandma said she left it for Yueyue. Shut up! Shut it! You little tramp! Worthless gold digger! How dare you challenge me over the Lin family’s fortune? Today, either pay 600,000 to buy this house, or get out right now! Uncle, please! I’m begging you, just a few more days. Even with time, can you get 600,000? Where would you get that money? Steal it? Rob someone? Or maybe prostituting yourself? Uncle! Struck a nerve, did I? Don’t act innocent while playing the saint. How could you say these things? Grandma is watching us! You dare mention her? You’re a family disgrace! I’ll beat you senseless! Serves her right! Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me?! I’m disciplining my niece. None of your business! I’m her husband. I’m her husband. Lin Yue, weren’t you going to marry Chen Zixin? Who is he? Chen Zixin and I already broke up. He’s my husband, Tao Shouyan. You’re married. Why are you fighting me over the house? Worthless thing! What do you need a house for? Just move in with him! Shouyan doesn’t have a house. So we— Doesn’t even have a house. How can you be so cheap? What was the point of college? You’re supposed to be a white-collar. Why’d you find such a loser? He probably married you for your house. That 300,000— Lin Yue, you! You take my money to support this gigolo? Serves you right for not having a house. Get out of here! Being around you two makes me feel unlucky. You’re spouting filth. If you can’t talk, shut up. Or I’ll have someone to teach you a lesson. Why are you showing off to me? Go buy your own house! Always eyeing my Lin family’s house. Uncle, this is between you and me. It has nothing to do with Shouyan. In the next few days, I’ll give you 400,000 first. According to the inheritance law, Yueyue’s father had the same inheritance rights as you. Since Yueyue’s father passed, she inherits in his place. So, this house is half yours and half hers. By what logic? First of all, Yueyue has the right to live here. You don’t have the right to kick her out. Secondly, Yueyue only needs to pay 300,000 to gain full residence rights. If Yueyue’s grandma made a will, then according to the will, you won’t even get half. It’s all Yueyue’s. If that’s the case, the money the old lady left should also be half mine too. Back when the old lady passed away, she didn’t leave us any money. Did she secretly give you the money? Give me the money she left! Do you have proof? If you have proof, you can sue us. Is there anything else? If not, you can get out. Shouyan. Thank you. Thank you. I’m sorry. I know ours is a contractual marriage. I just wanted to thank you. Oh, you… I’ll make dinner first. Thank you. I’m just warning you out of kindness. Women like her only care about money. She married you for money today, she’ll leave you for wealth tomorrow. – mark – Lin Yue, what kind of person are you? Should I really trust you? Shouyan, I’m sorry. I deceived you. This apartment isn’t mine. Are you angry? Why would I be angry? I planned to buy this place from my uncle originally. But apart from the 400,000 Chen Zixin owes me— Chen Zixin owes you 400,000? When he bought his place, he was short on funds. I gave him all my savings – 200,000. Then I borrowed 200,000 more from various sources. How could you be so naive? Back then, to buy this apartment, we needed more money. That’s why I asked for bride price. This place was my grandma’s legacy. It’s my only real home. I planned to add your name to the deed after transferring ownership. Shouyan, if you’re angry or feel deceived, consider the money as a loan from me. I’ll pay you. You married me just for this apartment? Would you marry anyone for 300,000? Basically. If you’re upset, we can divorce early. In your eyes, money matters more than marriage itself? Didn’t you say that yourself? Marriage doesn’t matter to you. Who you marry is irrelevant. It’s all the same anyway. Right. I did say that. It’s perfect. Then let’s fulfill our needs. You don’t need to explain. And the money— The bride price, didn’t you already use it for Grandpa’s surgery? I’ll repay you. Curing Grandpa was my duty. I told you— What’s given to you stays with you. It’s good to finally be back. Finally coming home. Staying in that hospital made me feel terrible. Nothing beats being home. Of course home is better. But Grandpa, follow the doctor’s orders. Rest well, Grandpa. Yueyue. You— Did you bully her again? I didn’t! Still arguing? Then why haven’t I seen you two together lately? Hmm? Ungrateful child! Listen carefully— The doctor said I need constant peace of mind. By the way— Keep Yueyue happy, and I’ll be happy. Go! Make things right with her. I need my peace NOW. Peace! Got it. Your things are here. Hurry up. I’ll sleep on the couch tonight. Oh no, oh no! Does he think I’m trying to seduce him? If I stay calm, he’ll be the embarrassed one. Right. Does she think I’m hitting on her? Maybe I’m overthinking it. B**ch! It’s just 400,000. You actually sued me with lawyers? Are you crazy?! Sued you? If you’d repaid the debt properly, Chen Zixin, we wouldn’t be here. If you won’t pay, get out now! You witch! Here! Take your damn money. Slut! Pick up that card and hand it to me properly! Are you insane?! Stop acting all high and mighty! Two years together pretending to be some chaste saint… Now you immediately married another man for his dowry! You claimed we’d spend our lives together… Liar! Disgusting! Makes me sick to remember. Revolting! Shut up! Two years of devotion mean nothing to you? Was it all that awful? Stop pretending! You preach about love over money, yet married him for his cash! Admit it – you’re just a gold digger! Still acting pure? Hypocrite! I’ll kill you! You hit me?! You b**ch! You’re dead today! I’ll teach you a lesson today! Yueyue, are you okay? How dare you! You want your loverboy to hit me again?! Now I see clearly. You’re an unfaithful and ungrateful woman! And you! Shouyan! You bas***d! Why protect him? Do you still love him?! You misunderstood me. This complex has cameras everywhere. If you’re caught hitting him, Chen Zixin could call the police! Jail time over this trash? It’s not worth it! What are you doing?! Shouyan, stop! What’s your plan?! Stay back! Let me warn you, assault is illegal, murder means death penalty! Don’t come closer! Stay away from me! This is the hand that grabbed Yueyue. No! Wait! Sorry about this… It was me who hired the lawyer. As Yueyue’s husband, getting her money back is my responsibility! I’m suing you for assault charges and getting you arrested! Shouyan… Lin Yue, get ready to watch your man rot in jail! S***bag! You two little rascals. Why did you stop me? You beat Chen Zixin so badly. What if he presses charges?! What’s your solution? I’ll testify it was self-defense! You were protecting me when you hit him. What if I get convicted? I’ll go to jail with you. I’ll go to jail with you. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’m running late. Let me go change first. Lin Yue, you’re way too careless! Always late or leaving early! Is this your personal playground? Sorry, Miss Zhang. Three days’ pay deduction. One more slip-up, you’re fired. Miss Zhang, about the Sky City Project proposal I submitted, any updates yet? Oh, this thing? Why are my blueprints in your hands? Know your place. You need some self-awareness. Who do you think you are anyway? You think you deserve Sky City? Give those back! Trash belongs in the bin. Let me make this clear: You’re just like that little goblin, only good for scrubbing toilets. Dreaming of success? Keep daydreaming! You’ll never make it. Mr. Lei this garbage proposal got rejected immediately by Tao Group. Total humiliation! They said if we can’t produce quality work, they’ll terminate the partnership. Plus we’ll owe massive penalties! Mr. Lei, calm down. I have another plan that’ll satisfy Tao Group. Really? Show me now! Right away, Mr. Lei. Hello? Chen Zixin. I’m apologizing on Shouyan’s behalf. Hmm. Trying to settle this quietly? Alright. Come to Dynasty Nightclub now. Apologize to my face. Show me your sincerity. Fine. Hello? Are you off work? I’ll pick you up. Ah… Don’t bother. What’s wrong? I… Need to work overtime today. Not sure how late. I’ll be working tonight. So let’s just meet at home later. Okay. Got it. Bye. Shouyan hit you. I know. He was wrong. This 400,000… Consider it compensation for your injuries. Drop the charges. We’ll settle this debt. For good. You protect that s***bag well. Even spend 400,000 for him. Lin Yue, you’ve been having an affair, haven’t you? Cheated behind my back. Made me a laughingstock. Even tricked me into marriage. Think I’m a fool? Watch your mouth. I married Shouyan after breaking up with you. Take the money or not? What are you doing?! Dare to act tough? Let me go! Did you forget you’re begging me, not the other way around. Let go! How should beggars behave? Need me to teach you? I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Zixin. I’m sorry, Zixin. What will it take for you to stop? Drink this wine. Then I might reconsider. Not send your bas***d to jail. Drink! You b**ch still want to run? See this? This is what your bas***d has brought! You cheated on me. Today I’ll make your bas***d pay! What are you doing?! You witch! I’ll kill you! Filthy woman! I’ll end you today! Where you running?! I’ll beat you dead! Beat you to death! Slut! I’ve been with you two years, yet we never had a night. Today I’ll have my way with you! I’ve been with you for two years, yet we never had a night. Today I’ll have my way with you! I’ll end you. Mr. Tao. Take him out. Take him. Drag him away. Yueyue. What are you doing? What now? Let me go! Yueyue! Are you okay, Yueyue? Don’t touch me! Yueyue, it’s me. Stay back! Yueyue! Don’t you dare touch me! It’s me. Shouyan. It’s me. Shouyan! It’s me! You finally came. I’m sorry I’m late. Don’t worry, I’m here now. He won’t hurt you again. It’s good to have you here. Shouyan, you won’t betray me like Chen Zixin, will you? Right? Shouyan, say something! Why aren’t you speaking? Say something! Talk to me! Yueyue! Lu Xun. Mr. Tao. Mr. Tao Prepare the car to the hospital. Hurry! Understood. Could it be… This is Shouyan’s wife? She’s nothing special. Tell me, do you want that woman? Do you want revenge on that woman? Yes. Mr. Tao, Chen Zixin— Lu Xun, today, thanks for helping. Yueyue! This is… Hello. I’m from Tao Group. The CEO’s assistant. Tao— He’s my colleague. Colleague? Exactly. You joined Tao Group? Right. Just started recently. We happened to be at Royal Dynasty Club. Everyone sings so well! This way. Mr. Tao? I saw Madam at Royal Dynasty Club. Just ran into you by chance. Oh. Mr. … Tao! You talk. I’ll cover medical fees. Appreciate it. No trouble at all. Yueyue! I need to ask… You told me you were working overtime? Why… How could you meet Chen Zixin? You know he’s no good. Why meet him? Shouyan, you beat him up. He might sue you! So I thought to resolve the matter. How? Chen Zixin owes me 400,000. I decided to let it go. Let’s consider it settled. Why are you helping me? We’re married, aren’t we? Although it’s just a contract marriage. I’m sorry, Shouyan. I shouldn’t have gone to see Chen Zixin today. If it weren’t for you— I’m the one who should apologize. This isn’t your fault. You hit him to help me. Yueyue, that’s not what I meant. What I’m trying to say is If I deceived you like Chen Zixin did, what would you do? That’s impossible! You’re nothing like him. Chen Zixin schemed against me at every turn— my money, my property. But you’re… You’re a good and honorable person. You’re humble, respectful, and always protect me in dangerous situations. You step forward to save me. I… I’m asking what if if I truly betrayed you like he did? Why would you even ask something like this? Never mind. Just forget I asked. Shouyan. People show their true colors eventually. No point in ‘what ifs’. But if… If you were like him, we’d never have married. Why? Because… If you were that kind of person, you’d look down on me— like Chen Zixin did. He only wanted my money. But you’re different. You even gave me 300,000. So what do you want from me? Yueyue. Don’t worry. Chen Zixin will never harm you again. Really? His crimes… If we report him to the police, he’ll get years in prison. Shouyan, I’m glad I have you. If you knew I lied to you too, would you still feel this way? Yueyue… I don’t want to lose you now. This proposal is solid. Never imagined Yihua Group actually has such talent. For the Sky City project, let’s proceed with this plan. Yes, Mr. Tao. Free tonight? I’ll pick you up after work. Who’s this lady? She’s gorgeous! Didn’t you know? Mr. Tao is married. Judging by her confidence, she’s probably the CEO’s wife. What? So I’ve lost my chance… Stop dreaming. Shouyan. What brings you here? Can’t I visit? I’m here to see you, of course. Miss. Yao, I’m a married man. Mind your boundaries. Shouyan. Have you forgotten our childhood engagement? Shouldn’t your wife’s position have been reserved for me? Shouyan, you know, shouldn’t you honor vows? Miss. Yao, maintain your dignity. No engagement ever existed between us. Stop spreading these misleading claims. The Yao family is an esteemed house. Stop acting like a gold digger. I’ll gladly help reform your family’s reputation. Shouyan. Enough now. Shouyan. I know you’ve got a precious wife now. I was just playing a little joke. Why so serious with it? Hmph! I’m done talking. I’ll visit Grandpa Tao instead. Yueyue, why haven’t you left yet? My husband said he’ll pick me up after work. You married Chen Zixin? Why didn’t you tell me? Mengmeng, not Chen Zixin. Then who? It’s Grandpa Tao’s grandson. Grandpa Tao from the nursing home? Is he handsome? Is he rich? What car does he drive? Listen, Mengmeng… My husband is just an ordinary guy. We don’t even own a car. But if we’re talking vehicles, his metro fleet’s worth billions. Billions? Metro trains. No personal car at all? How can you two laugh about this? Then again. Even Chen Zixin didn’t want this trash. Only garbage collectors would marry you. Miss Zhang, did you skip brushing? Your breath stinks! You’re just jealous of Yueyue being prettier than you. Can’t stand her happiness? What’s beauty worth? She’s still marrying a stinky old man. Yueyue, I’m here to drive you home. Miss Zhang, don’t push your luck. Take a good look. BMW. You paupers couldn’t afford it in ten lifetimes. It’s just a BMW. No big deal. Alright, alright. Mengmeng, don’t waste anger on them. By the way, aren’t you meeting that blind date today? I nearly forgot my date today is the assistant to Tao Group’s CEO. Oh no, I’m late! Yueyue, gotta go now. See you later. You should head out. Don’t be late. Bye. Yueyue, I’m here to drive you home. Let’s go. Time for home. Tao Shouyan, where’d you get this car? I… Rented or borrowed? This car must have cost a fortune. You just started working. Don’t be reckless with money. Promise me, you’ll stop this nonsense. Listen. Return this car immediately. If we damage it, there’s no way we could ever afford the repairs, even the lightest scratch. Yueyue, life’s hard enough. We deserve some joy. Why not enjoy life? No. Stop being so materialistic. Live within your means. Life’s just three meals a day and a bed to sleep. Yueyue, it’s not about vanity. This car is truly mine. Stop joking about this. If you were rich, would Grandpa still be in the nursing home? Fine. How about this? I’ll drive you home then return the car. Let’s go. Time for home. Let’s go. Shouyan, you’re back. That’s great. I’m not feeling well. I’ll go to my room. Yueyue, don’t misunderstand. We’re not what you think. Well… maybe I should introduce myself. Hi. I’m Yao Yule. Shouyan and I have been childhood sweethearts. We’ve been betrothed since childhood. We agreed to marry someday. Stop talking nonsense! Hello. I’m Lin Yue. Hello, Lin Yue. May I ask are you the nurse hired by Shouyan to care for Grandpa Tao? Our marriage lasts for one year. Sign if you agree. I guess so. Thanks for your work. Yueyue! Shouyan, I was just teasing her. Is she really angry now? Let me make this clear: This is Lin Yue’s home. Don’t play these childish games with me. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so polite. Shouyan, don’t be so harsh with me. I just wanted to tease her and see how important you are in her heart. Shouyan, maybe you haven’t been giving her enough security? Shouyan’s back. Grandpa Tao, Shouyan made Lin Yue angry. Stop your nonsense! Yueyue’s upset because of you! Hmph! Where’s Yueyue? Yueyue— You little rascal, peace lasted mere days. Bullying Yueyue again? Go apologize to her right now! But Grandpa, If she hadn’t made a scene here, Yueyue wouldn’t be mad! Good. Good! Karma’s catching up for your lies. Listen well: Fix things with Yueyue however you can. Or I’ll break your legs! Grandpa! Go on! Hurry! Grandpa. Ungrateful child! Utterly ungrateful! He’s everywhere! No, no, no! It’s late at night, coming over to throw yourself at me? I’m sorry. Are you satisfied now? Huh? Since we’ve already got the marriage certificate, and tied the knot, why don’t we try something tonight? You… Wait, you— How dare you mess with me like this?! I’ll suffocate you! Tonight, you’re mine. Tonight, you’re mine. Shouyan, don’t go. Don’t go. Okay. I won’t leave. Was last night… real? Tonight, you’re mine. What do I do? What do I do? This is so embarrassing! It’s alright. No fear. No fear. Wait— Y-you… Why are you in my bed? Someone fell asleep here last night and wouldn’t let go of me. Tell me, where else should I sleep? What are you doing? What’s this? We’re legally married. Just giving you a look. No charge. Morning, boss. Came to give you a ride to work. Tao Shouyan, I’m taking you to work. No need. What’s wrong? Embarrassed by my scooter? Clearly you are. It’s all I can afford. If it’s embarrassing take the metro then. That’s not what I meant. I meant to say, didn’t you have 700,000? 300,000 on the house 200,000 to repay debts, leaving 200,000 left. That’s enough for a car. No way. That’s our emergency fund. When Grandpa was hospitalized, we cost over 300,000, remember? We need to save money for Grandpa’s needs. What’s wrong with this bike? It’s eco-friendly! Quit stalling! Hurry up. Get on. Get on. Come on, move it! Sit properly. Let’s go. I haven’t put my helmet on! Stop. Stop. Stop. Are you deaf?! I’ve been shouting through a megaphone since the gate. Didn’t you hear? Battery died from yelling. Get out now! Sorry… My friend works here. Just dropping him off. He’ll leave right away. What nerve! Claiming to work here? Know where this is? Tao Group. Everyone here is top-tier talent. See these cars? Which don’t cost at least ten million? Take this junk bike out of here! And you, stop blocking the way. Enough! Stop yelling! Shouyan. Shouyan, why are you suddenly scared of me? Clueless security guard. Don’t you know who he is? He’s Tao Group’s— Yao Yule. You work here too? I’m here to see Shouyan. The Yaos and the Taos are allied families. Right, Shouyan? Finished talking? Then leave. I… Hmph! The wealthiest Tao family? Tao Shouyan of Tao Group? So you’re… So you’re… Yueyue, I— Our billionaire CEO rides an e-bike to work? What was I thinking? Shouyan couldn’t possibly be related to the CEO’s family. Yule’s just bluffing. You’re clearly just a gold-digging pretty boy. Get out now! Don’t make me hit you! Why can’t you listen before judging? People like you who look down on others embarrass Tao Group. Let’s go, Shouyan. Don’t waste words on him. If Tao Group hires people like him, no wonder morale’s low. Don’t suffer working in this toxic place. How dare you insult Tao Group! Are you insane? Yueyue’s right. Allowing such staff to exist shows poor management problems. Tao Group needs thorough reform. What’s happening? They’re causing trouble. Silence! Mr. … Sales Tao, my deepest apologies. This reflects my poor management. Such employees tarnishing our image will be dealt with severely. You’re fired. But… I was wrong! Please forgive me! Process his termination. Wait… Secretary Lu? Sales Tao, let’s get to work. You go ahead. I’m leaving. Wait… Bye. Goodbye. Yueyue, did you know Zhang Li’s design proposal passed Tao Group’s review. They even invited her to present the project at Tao Group Oh. Yueyue, Mr. Lei takes this seriously. He posted Zhang Li’s design on the bulletin board and ordered all staff to study it carefully. Really? Don’t believe me? Come see for yourself Let’s go. Miss Zhang is incredible. She actually secured the Sky City project. This’ll make her famous citywide. That’s why she’s the manager. Miss Zhang, when you make it big, don’t forget us. Relax, I’ll take care of you all. Yueyue, look! Yueyue, this is your design! Cai Meng, what’s your point? You’re just a receptionist. Stop talking nonsense! She’s not lying. This is my blueprint. Zhang Li, you stole my work! You? A mere intern could create such professional work? Who’d believe that? I have proof. Sure. Then show it! Lin Yue, baseless accusations won’t end well. You’re just jealous of me. Can’t stand my success. Zhang Li, aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to the Tao Group? This project is our biggest contract. You’re causing trouble and sabotaging it. You might even ruin our Tao Group partnership. We’ll face huge penalties. Your petty schemes are disgusting. She’s right. Lin Yue, you’re ruining this project. How does that help you? Trying to destroy all our careers? Exactly! Someone like her shouldn’t work here. Fire her now! Right! You deserve it! Get her out! Fired! Yes! Out! Stop spreading lies! Fire her! Lin Yue would never do that! Lin Yue, you can’t beat me. A dead fish can’t flip over. This isn’t over. Just wait. Now welcome Miss Zhang Li from Yihua, to present her designs. Thank you all. Thank you, Mr. Tao. This project… Wait… I expose Zhang Li for stealing designs and defrauding Tao Group. Madam! Madam? Lin Yue is Mr. Tao’s wife? Madam? A person’s worth isn’t in stature but in spirit. Miss Zhang, you may be beautiful, but your character is despicable. Stealing others’ design drafts to deceive Tao Group? Security! Escort her out. Wait! Secretary Lu, you believe her plagiarism claim? This is slander! Shouldn’t I trust the Madam, but you? If I defend you now, Mr. Tao will fire me after this meeting! Hmph! What do you know? I have proof. Then show it! I deleted all data from her computer. It’s irrecoverable. She has no real evidence. Secretary Lu, here’s my original draft. Yes, exactly! That’s right. This authentic draft proves. Surprised, Zhang Li? I keep physical backups of every design draft as handwritten originals. Zhang Li, how could you betray my trust like this? I believed in your talent to bring honor to Yihua. Instead, you made me the fool! Get out immediately! Get out of here! Stop embarrassing Yihua! Mr. Lei, this isn’t settled yet. Why the rush? The evidence is conclusive. Stop your excuses! Evidence? What evidence? These? Lin Yue, thank you for delivering the very materials that prove your scheme. Wait, Zhang Li. What nonsense are you spouting? Secretary Lu, look at those original drafts. Can you see the marks I left on them? Lin Yue, I knew you wouldn’t accept defeat. You had to come make trouble. Too bad your little scheme will end with me crushing you. Ms. Lin, are you aware of these markings? Did you draw these marks yourself? Or do you have any evidence to prove this is your work? My designs all have smiley faces. But these flowers, I genuinely don’t understand. But Secretary Lu, Zhang Li really stole my designs! I trusted you. Now you frame me? I have witnesses! Miss Sun. I can testify: Days ago I saw with my own eyes, after work, Lin Yue entering Miss Zhang’s office. You’re lying! It was clearly Zhang Li who stole the designs! Lin Yue, with both witnesses and evidence, how dare you deny it? The hammer of truth will crush you. You’re despicable! Secretary Lu, you must stand up for me! This Lin Yue in front of Tao Group’s entire staff, she openly accused, twisting facts, showing no respect for you or Tao Group! Someone like her deserves severe punishment. In my opinion, she should be fired immediately and expelled from Yihua! She should be blacklisted across all industries! Who dares bully my wife? Who dares bully my wife? Mr. Tao, finally decided to show up, huh? Your wife’s mess? Handle it yourself. Stop pushing this onto a poor helpless employee! You there! Got something to confess? So you’re Lin Yue’s old and ugly husband? Hiding your face? Too ashamed to show it? Or maybe you’re just too hideous to be seen? Trash like you should stay in the gutter! What are you doing here? What matters isn’t me, but this thief right here! Today you’ll be kicked out of Tao Group! Every company in city will blacklist you! Blacklist me? Who do you think you are? You two are a match made in hell! Disgusting and shameless! How dare you— Secretary Lu， this guy and Lin Yue crashed our design conference at Tao Group! Secretary Lu, he’s challenging your authority and Tao Group’s reputation! Throw him out now! Watch your tongue! Tao Group upholds fairness and justice. We’ll give everyone a chance to explain. Throw the boss out? Am I courting death? Sir, care to say something? Or present any proof that Miss Lin was framed? She’s innocent! You know the drill? Absolutely, Miss Zhang. Consider it handled. Look who’s here! That’s fake! Yes! Total forgery! You know serious perjury gets you three years in prison. Still want to cover for her? Are you sure you still want to cover for her? All of this was orchestrated by Zhang Li. She ordered me to steal Lin Yue’s design drafts. She also instructed me to mark and return them. None of this has anything to do with me! I’ll give up the money. Just leave me alone. Zhang Li, we have both witnesses and evidence. Zhang Li, you’re officially fired. Wait! Mr. Lei, please don’t terminate me. I’ll never do it again. Secretary Lu, I deeply admire you and Mr. Tao. That’s why I did this. Secretary Lu, Please let me stay at Tao Group. I’ll do any job. I’m willing to do anything. Absolutely not. Look what you’ve done! Such unethical behavior, given the economic damage and reputational harm to the Group and Ms. Lin, we reserve the right to pursue legal action. Expect a lawsuit. Oh, right, since you enjoy blacklisting people, I’ll ensure you’re blacklisted by every company in the city. Good luck. Security! Escort her out. Wait, no! Secretary Lu, let me explain! Secretary Lu! I sincerely apologize for interrupting your designer conference. Here’s what I propose: If necessary, I’ll compensate your losses. Madam— Ms. Lin, you’re too gracious. Our company failed in supervision, allowing Zhang Li’s misconduct. We should compensate you for your losses. That’s only right. Really? The boss is personally overseeing this. Who’d dare make his wife pay? Thank you, Secretary Lu. Oh, and Ms. Lin, since this brilliant design came from you you should be the one presenting this proposal. That’s only fitting. Me? Um… Is that okay? Hmm. Go ahead. You’ve earned this. Wonderful! This is perfect! Mr. Tao, That helmet suits you well. Not planning to reveal yourself? If you want Yueyue to divorce me now, just say it. How long will you keep hiding? Until she’s ready to accept it. Hmm. Hmm. Thank you all. Great! Absolutely! Shouyan, thank you. Everyone, today’s meeting was perfect. Thank you all. The meeting is adjourned. Pleasure doing business. Thanks. I’m sorry. I thought… I overstepped. We just have a marriage contract. Forget it. Yueyue. Yueyue! Mr. Tao, please control yourself. We shouldn’t be like this. What are you talking about? We’re legally married. Legally married? The kind where you’re too ashamed to show your face at the office with me? Or did you spend 300,000 to buy a live-in maid? Yueyue, don’t listen to Yao Yule’s nonsense. I… Okay. I won’t listen to her nonsense. But today… At the Tao Group, the person who didn’t dare to take off his helmet was you, right? Yueyue, there were some special circumstances. So what exactly were the special circumstances that you didn’t dare to take off your helmet? You just… Just think… I made you lose face? No. It’s not that. Okay. Then tell me. What’s the real reason? Then tell me. What’s the real reason? Mr. Tao, from now on, stop claiming we’re legally married. It’s absurd. That contract… I still have it under my pillow. What’s wrong, Yueyue? Not driving me to work? Well, Tao Group and Yihua aren’t exactly close. If I drive you first, I’ll be late for work. Take the subway. Didn’t you say it was on the way? Not anymore. I hate the subway. I prefer the e-bike. Aren’t there shared e-bikes at the gate? What are you doing? What’s your problem? Driving my wife to work. Hold on tight. You’re impossible! Hold me tighter. Let’s go! Off to work! Here we are! My Queen, are you satisfied with my service this time? Remember to give me a five-star review. Five stars? Don’t even dream about it. Zero stars is more like it. Then I wish you, my queen, a happy workday. Bye-bye. Hey, drive carefully. Yueyue,. Huh? That’s your husband? The one who saved the day for you at Tao’s Group? He was amazing! Just his back view was so handsome! It wasn’t that exaggerated. Yueyue, is your husband’s surname Tao? How did you know? Have you forgotten? The ceo of Tao’s Group is surnamed Tao. Your husband wouldn’t happen to be… You mean… My husband is the CEO of Tao’s Group? Absolutely. Cut it out, Mengmeng. Are you kidding me? My husband is a salesman. Don’t assume someone named Tao is automatically the CEO. This silhouette, I’d never mistake it. You’re wrong. You youngsters are always daydreaming. Today it’s lottery wins, tomorrow it’s marrying rich. Instead of fantasizing, focus on working hard and earning money. None of your business! Yueyue’s husband may not be the richest, but he’s gorgeous. Having a hottie at home is eye candy! Handsome? Big deal! The hotter they are, the less reliable. Probably recycled goods. Might have STDs too! Seems like experience talking. Why so familiar? Not me, but someone’s getting defensive… Guilty conscience? What’s that mean? Nothing. She’s saying it’s just jealous. Lin Yue, you’re naive. You’ll see in time. At your age, I hustled to earn money through hard work. No time for romance! Let alone marriage. Oh? And now? What? Made your fortune yet? You— What’s there to brag? Even without riches, I kept my job! You? You betrayed Yihua, caused chaos at Tao Group. Seems like victory, but reality? Mr. Lei and Tao Group must hate you now. How long will this job last? Expect a chat with Mr. Lei. Today might be our last day as colleagues. Will I even see you after work? Yueyue, if Mr. Lei fires you, what then? Let’s get to work. Hey Tao, heard you’ve been acting crazy lately, but this is next-level madness. Ditching your Maybach for this electric scooter? And it’s pink?! What brings you here? Word is you’ve got a new missus now. I had to meet the lady who finally tamed the beast. Seriously, bro? You’re locking this piece of junk? Your company doesn’t own a single car under a million! This is insulting to thieves! Tao! They say you’re quite the ladies’ man. Oh please, I just dated five or six, maybe even ten girlfriends. Here’s the thing… My friend’s got this situation where— Tao, that’s the oldest trick! Just say it’s you already! No really, it’s a friend! Right… “A friend”, sure. Spill it. What’s up? So my friend kind of kept secrets from his wife. Now he wants to come clean, but doesn’t know how. He needs to find the right moment to explain everything properly. But— How bad is it? This whole crazy thing is about the secret, isn’t it? Well… It’s not nothing. Tell your “friend” not to lay all cards on the table. Or he’ll scare his wife right off! Baby steps, understand? Dropping bombshells will make her bolt. Then you’ll really regret! Lu Xun, notify Yihua Corp and tell them I’m very satisfied with Lin Yue’s design. Before the Skyland City project wraps up, transfer her to our company. Understood. Yueyue, what did Mr. Lei want? Was it about… No way! How could he do this? I’ll confront him! Mr. Lei said starting tomorrow I’ll represent Yihua at Tao Group for the Skyland City project. Lin Yue’s so lucky. She actually got into Tao Group! Why didn’t Mr. Lei pick me? She works late in Mr. Lei’s office… Could you? Ru, do you think Lin Yue and Mr. Lei… But Mr. Lei’s kid’s in middle school! She wouldn’t go that far. He’s a bit older but he’s the real boss of Yihua. A little patronage from him would keep her set. Which ‘patronage’? Pity her husband. Maybe he doesn’t know he’s been cuckolded. Or maybe he knows but can’t do better, so he trades his wife. Hey! Slander is illegal. You know that? Oh please, we’re just joking. Don’t be so uptight. Don’t be petty, girl. Think it’s funny? Yesterday I saw you at Royal Club looking for male escorts. Got video proof too. Stop lying! Just kidding! Why so serious? Don’t be a hag. You— Think you’re safe climbing the ladder? So cocky, acting like you own the company? Wait till Mr. Lei’s wife comes after you. You’ll lose your job and reputation. Where’s Lin Yue? That’s her! She seduced Mr. Lei! Ms. Lei. Spreading rumors about my husband, you’ve got a death wish, huh? Lei Junting, why is this trash still in the company? You’re fired. All rumor-mongers will be fired. Please calm down, honey. Ms. Lei! Mr. Lei, we were just making a stupid joke. Don’t kick us out! Security! Escort these two out. Mr. Lei, I’ll never do it again! Mr. Lei! Don’t let such unauthorized people in here again. Ru, farewell. Didn’t see that coming? You’ll never see me again! You must be Lin Yue. Yueyue, joined Tao Group and is climbing the ladder. Don’t forget your old company or us. Yes, yes… Thank you for your kindness, ma’am. And Mr. Lei, for this learning opportunity. Hmph! What’s this got to do with him? Mr. Tao personally requested you. When you’re there, put in a good word for him, will you? Yes, please! Personally chosen by Mr. Tao? Yueyue, I get the feeling this Mr. Tao is actually your husband? Yueyue, I get the feeling this Mr. Tao is actually your husband? You burned yourself. What’s wrong today? You seem distracted. That silhouette, I’d never mistake it. Mr. Tao personally requested you. Shouyan, are you— Yueyue? What are you doing? Actually, I’m not hungry. People say, when you get old, at night, it’s best not to eat. Me? I won’t eat. You go out first. I’ll finish making dinner. Can you manage on your own? It’s okay. You go. Be careful. Okay. Yueyue, tomorrow, I’ll be sure to welcome you to my company personally. Tao, over here! Hello! I’m Lin Yue from Yihua Corp. Tao, glad you finally came around. If she finds out you specifically got her transferred to Tao Group, she’ll be touched. Where’s Yueyue now? Madam has entered the lobby. Over. Excuse me, where’s the conference room? Take elevator this way. 6th floor, turn right after exit. Got it. Yueyue I will personally bring you into my company. Mr. Tao! Mr. Tao! Madam is in the elevator! Over. Where’s Lin Yue now? Arrived. Hello, I’m Lin Yue from Yihua Corp. Lin Yue, welcome! Come, I’ll show you the office area. Sure, thank you. First let’s see the core of our design department. All major projects at Tao Group are completed here. I reviewed your designs, they’re excellent. You’ll become a rising star in our field. Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang, may I ask is Mr. Tao in? Yes, he is. Want to meet our CEO? You’re in luck. The CEO’s office is above our design department. We’re the closest department to the executive suite. You’ll see him often. Really? But he married young. Mr. Tao’s married? Do you know who his wife is? Or have you met Mrs. Tao? What a coincidence! Same surname, both married. This Mr. Tao… Could he be… Of course. Mr. Tao’s wife… Yeah, I’ve seen her. Isn’t Mr. Tao’s wife the lady who visited the office recently? Mrs. Tao is stunning. The elevator’s here. Let’s go. I’ll show you around upstairs. Where’s Yueyue now? Madam is already at the design department. Let’s go find her. Mr. Tao, the European financial crisis has hit the domestic market. Many of our group’s projects are suffering varying degrees of impact. Miss. Yao and the shareholders are waiting in the conference room to discuss countermeasures. Would you like to head there first? Tao, you’re not King Zhou, and she’s not Daji. To the conference room. Mr. Tao, what’s the exact situation? Due to the European financial crisis, overseas capital keeps flooding into our real estate. Their aggressive invasion and suppression are putting immense pressure on our market. To ensure Sky City’s smooth operation, we urgently need the Yao Group’s capital injection. Our Tao Group has sufficient funds to sustain the entire Sky City project. Of course, I believe Sky City will be successfully completed. But Mr. Tao, foreign capital’s relentless pressure keeps intensifying. This creates overwhelming stress. Don’t you agree, Shouyan? Shouyan, I want to lend you a hand. If you’re willing, the Yao Group’s capital will serve as my dowry. I never yield to threats. Let me make this clear: Whether it’s foreign investor pressure or your obstruction, Yao Yule. The Sky City project will proceed without delay. Shouyan, how could you think that of me? You keep misunderstanding me. I… My feelings for you are genuine. Can’t you see we’re destined to be perfect for each other? I want us to build a real estate empire together. If this is purely business, I might consider it. Shouyan. Call the meeting to order. What’s next on the agenda? At 2:00 PM, an overseas conference call. Meeting adjourned! Meeting adjourned! Shouyan, The game of love Lin Yue can play, so can I. Did you really think keeping her under your watch would stop me? Hmph! You dislike threats, I hate forcing others. I’ll make sure Lin Yue leaves willingly. It’s your cue. Lin Yue, someone’s here for you. Who is it? Claims to be your husband. Honey! Honey! I finally found you! Stop shouting nonsense! We already broke up! Honey! I gave you the betrothal gifts! You promised me once the property deed has your name, we’d marry immediately. What nonsense are you spouting? Stop slandering me here. 2 million in betrothal gifts, 5 million wedding house… I couldn’t afford it then, but now I’ve gathered it all! Don’t worry, it’s all here now. Yueyue, will you marry me? will you marry me? What two million dowry? A five million wedding house? We broke up a long time ago. This never even happened. About the nightclub incident… I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Let me tell you something. If you keep causing trouble here, I’m calling the police right now. Oh my, bad luck! Mom. Yueyue. Please agree to marry our Zixin. He really loves you. For your wedding, I sold our own house. Zixin’s dad and I are renting a place to live. Don’t worry. We won’t disturb your married life with Zixin. And we will never live with you. If you don’t marry our Zixin… I will just die in front of you. Mom! What? This is too terrible. Running into a woman like this is really bad luck. Yeah. Who is this woman? I’ve never seen her before. She’s from Yihua Corp, in charge of the Sky City project. A gold digger like her… How did she get into Sky City, such an important project? I heard she’s Mr. Lei’s mistress. She slept her way to get this project. Enough. You really think Tao’s Group… is a vegetable market? Mrs. Tao. You two stop making a scene. You didn’t meet their conditions back then. Now you’re here making trouble. What’s the point? Is Tao’s Group your local grocery store? Miss, we came to your company out of desperation to find Yueyue. Boss, please help us. Have some mercy. We’re begging you. Mom. Madam, get up please. Don’t do this. I can’t interfere in this matter. Besides, Lin Yue is already married. Do you expect her to divorce and marry your son? That’s fine! If they get divorced, I’ll compensate her husband with more money. We only need Lin Yue to marry my son Zixin. I refuse. I want nothing to do with you. You’re the ones framing me, now guilt-tripping me. Is that so? Sis, I know you’re not that kind of person. You genuinely love Shouyan, that’s why you’re with him. No. Lin Yue married quickly just for the 10 million in bride price money. They didn’t even know each other before rushing into marriage. What? Demanded 10 million in bride price? That’s utterly shameless! 10 million… I… Yueyue, I’ll sell my blood and kidneys if needed. I’ll even sell our family burial plot. I’ll get that bride price money. Yueyue, please… Marry me. I’m begging you. Stop spouting nonsense, Chen Zixin. Didn’t get enough of that beating at the club? Want another round? You want trouble? My husband works here too. I’ll call him now. Mom, what do we do now? Honey, come to the office area. Chen Zixin is trying to steal your wife. Chen Zixin is trying to steal your wife. Stop! Don’t hit me! I’ll stop! I’ll never do it again! Stop hitting me! My son… Why must life be so cruel to you? You truly want to marry her, but she’s sending thugs to kill you! I can’t lose you! Lin Yue, I’m begging you, stop sending your lover to attack my son. Please! We’ll leave, alright? Then get out now! Leave immediately! Or I’ll call security! Fine! Let’s go! We’re leaving. Son. Don’t— Go! Stop hitting me! Don’t hurt me! Everyone, get back to work! Mind your business! Sis, you didn’t actually call Shouyan, did you? Sis, you didn’t actually call Shouyan, did you? I was just trying to scare them. Hello? The Sky City project has already launched. Anyway, no one at Tao’s Group knows me. After I finish the Sky City project, I’ll return to Yihua. But Shouyan is different. He hasn’t been working here long. I can’t affect him. You’re so kind, Sis. Always thinking of Shouyan. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now. Yule. Sis. Can you tell me, what kind of person is Shouyan really? Sis, you’re husband and wife. How could you not know What kind of person is Shouyan? Tell me the truth. Is Shouyan the CEO of Tao Group? Sis, so, what if Shouyan is? What if he isn’t? If Shouyan isn’t, are you going to dump him like you dumped Chen Zixin? Dump him? Of course not! Then, what if Shouyan is? Wouldn’t that make you like what Chen Zixin and his mom said, a gold digger, only after money and gifts? If Shouyan is, and Chen Zixin comes back to bother you, would you still be able to defend yourself like you do now? If Shouyan is, would you have to break up with him to prove you’re not a gold digger? Sis, do you still want to know about Shouyan’s true identity now? Hmm. No need. Who let Chen Zixin in here?! Mr. Tao… Can’t even handle basic security? My mistake. Alert security— fire them all immediately. If this happens again, you’re fired too. Understood. It absolutely won’t happen again. Unbelievable audacity! Daring to storm into my company to bully Yueyue! Mr. Tao… Chen Zixin will never ever be allowed to cause any more trouble. If Shouyan really is, aren’t you exactly what Chen said— a gold digger after my dowry? Marrying for money and luxury? Yueyue? Shouyan. We need to talk. Should I come see you now? Let’s discuss this at home tonight. Alright. Wait, something’s off… What does Yueyue want to ask? Did she discover my secret identity? Should I prepare a grand proposal? Do you think I should prepare a grand proposal ceremony to make up for what I’ve owed her? Tao, the way you’re acting now is kinda creepy. R-Really? Lu Xun, go to the most exclusive luxury brand and get me a one-of-a-kind diamond ring. Right away, Mr. Tao. Yueyue. Why did you… Didn’t I tell you we’d meet at home? I thought it’d be better to come back together. Hmm. Let’s go then. Let’s go. Yueyue, what’s wrong with you today? You’re acting strange. I’m fine. Just tired, maybe. They’re… It’s your first day at work, and they already assigned you this much workload? Shouyan, I’m okay. Hmm. Alright. By the way, you mentioned earlier you wanted to ask me something? Today I heard some interesting things about your company. About your boss. He’s remarkable. Really? Not too bad. Tao Shouyan, do you know your CEO’s real name? I… Of course I know! What’s it? Tao— Mr. Tao is so visionary. Since riding this e-bike, I’ve never been stuck in traffic again. Exactly! Morning rush, evening rush… All gone now! Let’s hurry. Shouyan, everyone at your company rides e-bikes now? The boss’s wife said it’s eco-friendly. You have 700,000 saved up. That’s enough for a car. E-bikes are eco-friendly. So… You must be the first e-bike rider there. Ah… Yeah. Then you… Are you… Then you… Are you… Are you trying to ask if I’m actually Tao Group’s CEO? Well, are you? If I were, what would you do? Yueyue, do you think this title is shameful? It’s not that the title’s shameful, I just… Just what? I feel unworthy to face others. What nonsense are you saying? Yueyue, you’re so kind and virtuous. How could you be unworthy? But I don’t deserve to be Mrs. Tao. Zixin deceived me, manipulated me. He thought I’m gullible, wants to exploit me. What about you, Shouyan? Why are you lying? I’m not lying. Really. But… I’m not Tao Group’s CEO. But Yao Yule said your families had an arranged marriage. She clearly meant herself and you. That woman is pathological liar. How can you trust her? Yueyue, I’ll only marry you, no one else. Let’s go meet the real CEO. He’ll confirm I’m not. Maybe we shouldn’t… Don’t bother him. What’s there to fear? Just firing me, maybe. My stomach’s weak anyway, I’ll keep mooching off you. Hmph. No, no, no! Shouyan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you. You’re always so good to me, why would you lie? Alright, I was wrong. I’ll never doubt you again. Let’s go home. Slick moves, Tao! That trick was next-level slick! Thank God you didn’t confess yesterday. If I were your wife, I’d divorce you on the spot. But seriously, what’s your plan now? How should I know? My two cents: Your problem is that your relationship’s not solid enough. After being married this long, have you acted like real couples do? Properly confessed your love? Given heartfelt gifts? Gone on proper dates? Have you even… Have you slept together at all? Screw you! Here’s the deal: Strengthen your bond, build that emotional connection. Make her feel secure so she knows no matter who you are, it won’t change what you two share. Then, when you confess, it’ll go smoothly. Makes sense. Starting today, I’m launching a grand “Win Her Heart” campaign. Rise and shine, sleepyhead! What’s the rush on a weekend? If you don’t get up soon, I’ll have to wake Sleeping Beauty with a kiss. You’re so corny! You’re annoying! Look, Hmm… Guess what this is? It’s a gift for you. A gift? Yeah. I noticed you have tons of lipsticks, but I think this one would really suit you. I… What’s wrong? Don’t you like it? No, no! I absolutely love it. See? I knew you would. Look, your lipsticks are always the same shade. So I picked this unique color for you. It would look amazing on you. No, not the color— That’s the same shade again. Not this one. Same shade. Hmm… These lipstick shades are clearly different! Colorblind? Thanks for this. Don’t mention it. Let’s go. I’m taking you out today. Oh no… You’re finally up! Tao Shouyan, slow down! Relax. Trust my skills. Let’s go to that spot. Here, let’s grab this one. Okay? Yueyue, there’s something I need to get off my chest. I think you should know this. Truth is, the CEO of Tao Group is actually me. Truth is, the CEO of Tao Group is actually me. I’m sorry. This might make you think I’m a liar. But please trust me. My feelings for you are real. After all this time together, I’ve realized you’re incredibly kind, adorably genuine, and truly special. Without realizing, I fell for you. Shouyan, you know… Whenever I’m in danger or facing troubles, you always stand up to protect me. You support me like a sheltering tree, you’re my safe haven. Yule once asked me She said, “Would your feelings change because of who he is?” I was confused then, but after these months, I finally understand: I love you as a person, not your status. This was our old contract. Yueyue, will you renew a new commitment with me? A marriage contract lasting ten thousand years? I do.
