[bunniefuu]

Be careful!

Mom, the other kids all say
that you're the best mom.

How so?

Because you never scold or hit me.

Even when I don't do well on exams.

I do hope you'll do well, though.

Please, next time,
could you get a better grade?

We'll talk about that at the next exam.

When is it?

The next exam, of course.

You little rascal.

Let me catch you.

[Episode 11]
[Happy Birthday *3]

Come in, Ruan.

Welcome. First time here, right? This way.

Welcome to Hengshi Air's executive floor.

This is where Mr. Fu
and the rest of us work.

Let's walk further in.
I'll show you around.

This is the break room.

We usually have coffee
and take a break here.

The staff working here
are all from the President's Office.

And this is Mr. Fu's office.

Didn't you check your phone?

No. What's wrong?

I have another meeting. Wait here.

Okay.

Here, Ruan. Have some water.

Mr. Fu, everyone has arrived.

Once it's over, I'll take you out to eat.

Wait.

Why should I wait just because he says so?

"Take me out to eat?"

What, can't I feed myself,
or do I have no legs?

Besides, are we close
enough to eat together?

I don't think it's about work.

[Fu Ming Yu]
[I'm back.]

If you're back, you're back. Why tell me?

This time, Mr. Fu is really scoring points.

If it weren't for him,
you'd be in trouble today.

That's right. A hero saving the damsel.
There's something there.

That unreliable guy
can be this thoughtful sometimes.

Sorry for the trouble, everyone.

Fu Ming Yu just came back
from Ma'ao with another woman.

And now he's asking me out.

Ms. Ruan, where are you going?

Home. Tell Mr. Fu to eat by himself.

Where is she?

Where is Ruan Si Xian?

She said she had something
to do and went home.

Did she say what it was?

She only said you should eat by yourself.

[Mingchen Residences]

Hello, Captain Ruan.
Xixiang Feast is at your service.

You... You guys...

Who told you to come?
I didn't order any service. This...

- Miss, Mr. Fu arranged a private chef service.
- This... You...

Let's hurry up and get to work.

I... Wait. What are you doing?

Didn't we agree to
have dinner together after work?

Aren't you going to invite me in?

You An.

You An. You're busy now?

I'm... organizing photos.

How about some fruit and a chat?

Chat about what? I'm occupied right now.

Alright. I'll let you get back to it then.

Well... I'll get going.

Mom.

Let's chat. Come on.

So, how was it? Did you have fun in Ma'ao?

Seven days.

I was in Ma'ao for seven whole days.

He didn't even have
time for one meal with me.

I don't believe he was that busy.

Taking me to Ma'ao felt like
one more work task to him.

Maybe he really was busy.

Look at your dad. He's so busy
that he's constantly on the go.

Anyway, I'm quite annoyed.

But the trip wasn't a total waste.

I'm certain now.

I, Zheng You An, do not like Fu Ming Yu.

If you want to know to what extent,
I'd say 100%. I don't like him at all.

Help me talk to Dad. Tell him to give up.

What's so funny?

Then why did you follow Fu Ming Yu around
all the time when you were little?

I was just a kid then. What did I know?

It's all because of you adults.
You teased me every day.

You made me believe
that I really liked him.

I believed it for so many years.

But this trip to Ma'ao
finally set things right.

Alright. Now that you know the truth,
are you happy?

Are you two artists lost in your art again?

No matter how obsessed you are,
you should still eat with me.

That's right. Nothing
matters more than food.

Oh, right. Let me answer your question.

I feel refreshed now. In a great mood.

What? Refreshed?

Like I said, her happiness
is what matters most.

Zheng.

- What did you make?
- Sweet and sour ribs.

- Let's go.
- Let's eat.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Enjoy your meal.

- Mr. Fu, we'll be off.
- Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Please.

How extravagant.

Even though this is your place,

you can't throw your
weight around like this.

You don't like it? If you don't,
we'll go out to eat next time.

Is that the point?
Who wants to eat out with you?

You just got back from Ma'ao
with your girlfriend,

and now you're asking me out? Seriously?

She's not my girlfriend.

I'm not buying it.

Her father owns a company I work with.

She had work in Ma'ao,

but because she couldn't get a
suitable flight, she took my plane there.

Please, have a seat.

How did you know
I love Sichuan and Hunan cuisine?

You ate spicy food even with a stomachache.
It's not hard to guess.

Try it.

- Aren't you going to eat?
- You go first.

It's actually quite good.

You clearly can't handle spicy food.

- Well...
- Well...

[Zheng You An]

What were you going to say?

What do you think of Zheng You An?

If she hadn't made that call,
what would you ask?

I'd have asked the same question
whether she had called or not.

Fine. I'll explain it again.

Her father owns a company I work with.

Her parents and mine are friends,
so we see each other often.

Nothing more.

What kind of person is she?

She and I basically grew up together.

Later, she went abroad to study.

We rarely met after she left.

In the past five years,
we've met less than five times.

We've exchanged fewer than 20 sentences.
I'm not sure what kind of person she is now.

But I have no relationship with her.

Fine. Forget it if you don't know.

I'm so sorry. My motor broke down halfway.
I had to push it here.

Then I spent ages registering at security.
Sorry I'm late.

It's okay. You must be exhausted.

It's hot out. Have some water.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You ordered takeout?

You were quite nice to that delivery guy.

If you were a delivery guy,
I'd be nice to you too.

I can't help sympathizing
with the working people.

These dishes are pretty good too.

Take your time. Have some more.

I have a meeting later.
I have to head back to the office.

Xuan.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm just a little tired.

Are you flying in the next few days?

Perfect. Try our new
drink, Sunset Boulevard.

You're the first one to try it.

- How is it?
- It's sweet.

But don't underestimate it.

Its alcohol content is no less
than a Long Island Iced Tea.

Is something on your mind?

No.

- Excuse me, can we see the drink menu?
- Coming!

Wait for me in the courtyard.
I'll be right there.

You drank it all?

- You good?
- I'm fine.

It's like a soft drink.

Tell me the truth.

Did your mother come to see you again?

No.

Good.

Then cheers!

- Are you hungry?
- I'm not.

I think I'm.

I wonder what your dad is cooking for us.

Be careful. Watch where you're going.

There's a bug there. I'm scared.

Don't be scared. Mom is here.

Why are you drinking again?

I'm in a bad mood.

What's wrong?

I'm just... in a bad mood.

Are you still angry?

So that's why you ignored my messages?

I just didn't feel like replying.

My bad.

I was away on a business trip for so long,
and I didn't even text you once.

I don't care.

Do you hate me that much?

I'm not that bad, am I?

Not really.

Actually, you're quite nice sometimes.

But sometimes,

I want to kick you all
the way to Trisolaris.

Are you so angry because of Zheng You An?

If that's the problem,
I won't go out with her alone next time.

Okay?

I'm mad at Zheng You An.
What does that have to do with you?

You're so jealous.
How can it have nothing to do with me?

Don't tell me you think

that I'm jealous of Zheng You An
because of you.

You...

Were you a hot air
balloon in your past life?

You have quite a big head.
Who says I'm jealous over you?

I don't feel like walking.

Do I have a big head?

Who are you looking for?

Where's Ruan?

She left.

Why are you here today?
Didn't you go see Lu Ming?

He... he went out to have fun.

Perfect.

Since Ruan's not here, we could discuss
how to celebrate her birthday.

But she never celebrates
her birthday, right?

That's just an excuse she makes.

Because every year on her birthday,
her mother comes to see her.

She keeps saying she's done with her
mother. But does she look like she is?

How about this? Let's
take her out this year.

She won't see her mother,
and maybe she'll have a happy birthday.

Then... Let's get a cake and some flowers.

How about camping by the sea?

- It's a deal then.
- Okay!

- Then... I'll buy the cake.
- I'll buy the flowers.

What about me?

You? Stay out of the way.

I need your fingerprint.

Slow down.

Are you still in a bad mood?

I am unhappy.

But it has nothing to do with you.
Do you understand?

Don't read too much into it.

Not because of me? Why
did you drink so much?

It's my mouth. So what if I drink?

Is it any of your business?
Are you my boyfriend or my husband?

How ridiculous.

I'm jealous of Zheng You An.

I'm so jealous of her.

Jealous of what?

They're not even related by blood,

yet they can be together every day.

What are you talking about?

I'm her own flesh and blood...

but she doesn't want me anymore.

Who doesn't want you?

My mom.

My mom abandoned me.

Why are you still here?

You're drunk. I brought you home.
You opened the door yourself.

So the door was open,
and you just walked in?

Banks have their doors open too.
Why don't you go rob one?

Ruan Si Xian, can't you talk to me nicely?

Are you leaving or not?

What if I don't?

If you don't leave,

I'll make you go into a free fall.

You won't even need the elevator.

- Hello?
- This is Fu Ming Yu.

Hi, is Ruan Si Xian there?

She's drunk. I brought her home.

Okay.

I just wanted to know she's home safe.

Okay, thank you.

Was that Fu Ming Yu?

It was Fu Ming Yu.

- They...
- Anyway, Ruan is drunk.

- So they...
- And then...

Fu Ming Yu is at Ruan's home now.

No way!

No. That must be it. It must.

- That's it.
- I really want to call again.

No, you can't. Don't disturb them.

- Ruan...
- The ice has finally melted.

Let go of me.

If you want to sleep, go to bed.

Don't squeeze onto that small sofa.

I'm her own flesh and blood,

but she doesn't want me anymore.

It's 11:00 p.m.
Are you still going back to Huguang?

- Look into Ms. Dong's background.
- Okay.

- Mom.
- You're back.

Ming Yu, I'm upset today.

What's wrong?

How can someone be so impossible?

At tonight's private auction,

everyone knew I was there
for Master Yue San Lin's painting.

I even had the money ready.

But when I got there,
his painting wasn't even up for auction.

Do you know why?

[Bai Yang]
Why?

Dong Xian went behind my back
and bought it beforehand.

What a snake!

Mom. You can buy another one.

- I'll...
- I'm going to make a call.

You don't want to hear me nag or complain.

Having a son is worse than having a meal.

Raising a son is worse than raising a dog.

Hello, Mr. Fu.

- Go ahead.
- Here's the situation.

Chairman Zheng and Ms. Dong
are in their second marriage.

Everyone knows that.

Chairman Zheng's first wife
passed away from illness

shortly after giving birth to Ms. Zheng.

His current wife, Ms. Dong,
had a former husband,

but he passed away a long time ago.

Get to the point.

The point is, Ms. Dong
had a daughter before.

It's Ruan Si Xian.

I see.

I'm glad that you came.

What do you think of Zheng You An?

If she hadn't made that call,
what would you ask?

I'd have asked the same question
whether she had called or not.

I'm her own flesh and blood...

but she doesn't want me anymore.

I was indeed flattering myself.

Slow down.

Who is it?

Hello, here's your delivery. Enjoy.

Got the breakfast. Thank you.

[Xuan]

You up?
Didn't want you to sleep in and feel awful.

So I ordered you breakfast.
Make sure you eat.

It wasn't him?

[Got the breakfast. Thank you.]
[Ruan Si Xian has recalled a message]

It wasn't me. Don't overthink it.

I just sent it to the wrong person. Sorry.

- Oh.
- "Oh"?

Thanks for the breakfast, girls. Love you.

Now you'll believe me.

You're checking on me again.
Just admit it. You like me.

[Employee Information Form]
[Ruan Si Xian/ Birth date: August 25th, 1993]

Bai Yang.

Order a birthday cake tomorrow.

- Sure. Leave it to me.
- Make sure it's a good one.

Will do.

Hello, everyone.
Welcome to FM 93.7, Voice of Jiang City.

Here is today's weather forecast.

Heavy rain is expected today.

The high will be 28℃,
and the low will be 15℃.

Please bring rain gear when going out.

The sun is so bright. Doesn't
look like it's going to rain at all.

They never get the
weather right these days.

Are these three orders duplicates?

- What do you mean?
- They all ordered the same cake.

Not exactly.

The buyers are all different.

The messages are also different.

These two say "happy birthday."
The third one has a whole letter.

Obviously, they're all for the same person.

Ruan Si Xian, Captain Ruan, and Ruan.

No, I have to double-check.

Hello?

Hello.

This is Big Cousin Cake and Bakery.

I'm the "big cousin" here.
You ordered a children's airplane cake.

- Right?
- That's right.

This is a cake for children.

- Are you sure you want this one?
- I'm sure.

Please make the little airplane
extra cute. Thank you.

I see the note you left here. No peaches?

Yes. Make sure it's peach-free.
She's allergic to peaches.

Any other fruit is fine.

And the message on the cake is,
"Happy birthday, Ruan Si Xian."

Is that correct?

Wait. Change it to "Captain Ruan." Yeah.

"Captain Ruan, Dad, happy birthday." Right?

It's "Happy birthday, Captain Ruan."
Don't mention "Dad".

Wait. Maybe just use "Ruan Si Xian."

I can't make up my mind.

Using her full name
feels a bit... too formal.

How about "Si Xian"?

It's more intimate yet still polite.

"Si Xian" is good.

It also implies missing her.
Let's go with "Si Xian."

Okay. Please pick up the cake on time.

Finally decided.

- Si Xian?
- Si Xian.

Please come again.

Welcome.

Hello, boss. I'm here to pick up my cake.

The last four digits of your phone number?



And the cake says,
"Happy birthday, Si Xian."

"Don't mention Dad."

Dad?

No. Only "Happy birthday, Si Xian."

Sir, we were very clear on the phone.

"Happy birthday, Si
Xian. Don't mention Dad."

Wait, what? What dad? What mom?
I said "Si Xian." That's all.

It can't be wrong.
These three cakes are all for Ruan Si Xian.

And the writing on the cakes
has been confirmed one by one.

- This one is your cake.
- This one?

"Happy birthday, Si
Xian. Don't mention Dad."

It's written clearly on there.

How long will it take to change it?

Half an hour.

What's wrong with you?

Boss, the weather forecast is accurate.

- It started raining.
- Is that the point?

Whatever. They're all
for Ruan Si Xian anyway.

Hurry and change those boxes
to the opaque ones.

Got it? Don't let anyone see it. Now!

There are no parking spaces.

It's fine. Just park
here. We'll be right back.

Okay.

Let's go.

Whose car is this? Why is it parked here?

Go.

The cake!

- What should we do?
- It's okay.

- It's okay.
- Gosh, where are my keys?

The keys...

- What do I do?
- This...

Try to fish them out.

- I can't reach them.
- What do we do?

- This...
- Try that one.

This one? Let me try.

- Here?
- A little to the left.

Left? Oh, my God!

Xiao Zhen. Your car!

It's being towed! Hurry, let's go!

You're all dressed up. Who are you meeting?

You scared me. Why didn't you make a sound?

I'm meeting a friend.

- A man or a woman?
- None of your business.

Just looking out for my subordinate.

A man.

Will you be back tonight?

- No.
- Do you need a ride?

Are you sure?

I'm quite curious which friend

managed to get a dinner
date with you today.

Get the car.

Hello, Xiao Zhen. It's hard to get a cab.

What? You're already on your way?

Well... Something came up on our end.

When you get there,
you can look around for a while.

- We won't be able to make it, well...
- What?

Are you standing me up?

You could say that.

It's a bit hard to explain.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. I don't really celebrate
my birthday anyway.

Take care of your business first.
I'll look around on my own.

Alright.

What should we do?
Can we still use this cake?

Navigation ended.
Thank you for using our service.

- What are you doing?
- Come home with me.

Here.

It really is a shame.

You put so much effort into this outfit.
I'm the only one who gets to see it today.

We're not ordering takeout?

No.

What do you want to eat?

Can you make a whole banquet?

- That's quite an appetite.
- Your ambitions are even bigger.

How about longevity noodles?

How did you know it's my birthday today?

I've read your information form.

Boss, are you this thoughtful
to all your employees?

I think you already know the answer.

If I had to make longevity noodles
for every employee's birthday,

am I the president or the head chef here?
