00:00:00Ms. Wen, I regret it. Could you please help me get the divorce decree revoked?
00:00:14Maybe when I'm the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. That might be possible.
00:00:19Ms. Wen, do you believe in love?
00:00:30He's Aiden. A power player in the financial district.
00:00:35From Viridia's most elite family, the heir to the Shang group.
00:00:40Mr. Shang. I don't know how to love. And I don't expect my husband to love me.
00:00:46If you're okay with that, I'm ready to get married anytime.
00:00:53Why did you choose me?
00:00:55It works.
00:01:00What about you? Why did you choose me?
00:01:10You're back.
00:01:20Yeah.
00:01:23Let's talk about living separately.
00:01:26Go on.
00:01:28Do you?
00:01:30Not want to sleep in the same bed.
00:01:33That's not it.
00:01:36Then why did you move my stuff into the guest room?
00:01:40Last night.
00:01:42You slept in the guest room.
00:01:44So I thought you didn't want to share a bed.
00:01:47I was just respecting your choice.
00:01:49When I came back last night,
00:01:52you were tossing and turning.
00:01:54I'm sorry.
00:02:00I didn't want to disturb you.
00:02:02I didn't want to disturb you.
00:02:05So I slept in the guest room.
00:02:06Sorry.
00:02:07I was just really tired yesterday.
00:02:14My bad.
00:02:15Then I'll go move your things.
00:02:17Back.
00:02:18No need.
00:02:19I'll have it moved tomorrow.
00:02:21Okay.
00:02:22Is he actually explaining himself?
00:02:27Have you been busy lately?
00:02:29Not really.
00:02:33Just now, a client asked me if I believe in love.
00:02:38Do you?
00:02:51My client was abused by her ex-husband
00:02:54and ended up in the hospital several times.
00:02:57The divorce dragged on for a year and a half
00:03:00and the verdict only came through today.
00:03:04Tonight she calls me
00:03:05saying she still loves him,
00:03:08having second thoughts
00:03:09and asks if the judgment can be revoked.
00:03:13That kind of love.
00:03:15Who in their right mind would want that?
00:03:18I thought you didn't handle civil cases.
00:03:23It's a pro bono case.
00:03:25Rough day.
00:03:33I'll manage.
00:03:36I'm gonna hit the shower first.
00:03:38I'm gonna hit the shower first.
00:03:55There's some water on the table for you.
00:04:02Thanks.
00:04:12You turning in?
00:04:15Let's turn off the lights.
00:04:16About what we missed on our wedding night.
00:04:28We should have made up for it the next day.
00:04:33You
00:04:34want to do it?
00:04:36And you?
00:04:41You in the mood?
00:04:44Not really.
00:04:46Me neither.
00:04:49MM.
00:04:52Then maybe tomorrow.
00:04:54Okay.
00:04:55Guess I really need to get used to
00:05:03this new husband of mine.
00:05:09Now that we know the truth,
00:05:11Isla should come back to the Wen family,
00:05:13where she belongs.
00:05:15Cece,
00:05:15start packing.
00:05:16Go back to the Yan family.
00:05:18A.S.A.P.
00:05:20No.
00:05:21I...
00:05:22I can't.
00:05:26I just can't do this.
00:05:31I won't accept the Wen family.
00:05:33And I refuse to leave this home.
00:05:35The Yan family is my real home.
00:05:37You're my real parents.
00:05:40Isla.
00:05:40I know you're hurting, sweetie.
00:05:42But blood ties can't be denied.
00:05:44I don't give a damn about blood ties.
00:05:46You're the ones who raised me.
00:05:48That's all that matters.
00:05:50This whole dinner.
00:05:51I never even wanted to be here.
00:05:54Isla, slow down.
00:05:56Wait for me, sweetie.
00:05:58Isla, let's talk this through calmly.
00:06:03It's all your fault.
00:06:05My sister doesn't want to leave.
00:06:07Why couldn't you just stay with your own family?
00:06:09Why did you have to come back?
00:06:10Now you've thrown both families into chaos.
00:06:13Are you happy now?
00:06:14No.
00:06:19I'll go check on her.
00:06:22I have to get back to the office.
00:06:28A month ago,
00:06:30the Yan and Wen families of Viridia discovered
00:06:32that the babies born at the same hospital
00:06:35were switched at birth.
00:06:37In an instant,
00:06:39my parents were swapped.
00:06:41Not long after that,
00:06:43my fiancé went from being Liam
00:06:45to Aiden.
00:06:45And so,
00:06:50that's how I ended up married to him.
00:06:58Are we heading to the Wen families today?
00:07:04Today is the day
00:07:05for the newlyweds' visit
00:07:06to the bride's family.
00:07:07Not necessary.
00:07:09They don't really do family dinners.
00:07:11My brother's abroad
00:07:12and can't come back right now.
00:07:14No point in going.
00:07:15If we go,
00:07:16we'd just be bothering them.
00:07:18How about the Yan family?
00:07:23Yeah,
00:07:23but I have a court hearing in the morning.
00:07:26I'm free in the afternoon.
00:07:28Then let's have dinner with the Yan family.
00:07:30I'll pick you up at 5.
00:07:34Your office is closer to their place.
00:07:37No need to go out of your way.
00:07:39Let's just pick a time
00:07:40and meet there.
00:07:42All right.
00:07:55Mrs. Shang.
00:07:56Mr. Shang was supposed to give you
00:07:58the wedding ring this morning,
00:07:59but he forgot,
00:08:00so he specifically asked me
00:08:01to wait here for you.
00:08:02If your family sees you
00:08:04without your wedding ring,
00:08:05they might get the wrong idea.
00:08:07Three days into the marriage
00:08:09and no ring,
00:08:10everyone would probably start worrying.
00:08:12about the state of our marriage.
00:08:14I completely forgot about it, too.
00:08:17Mr. Shang was worried
00:08:18the diamond might be too big
00:08:19and inconvenient for you
00:08:20to wear at work,
00:08:21so he specifically picked one
00:08:22with a smaller carrot.
00:08:24He'll pick a new one
00:08:25for the actual wedding.
00:08:28Thanks for taking care of this, Oscar.
00:08:33Did your boss really pick
00:08:35this out himself?
00:08:37Huh?
00:08:38Of course.
00:08:38I really like the design.
00:08:42I'll buy you a coffee sometime.
00:08:44Thank you,
00:08:45Mrs. Shang.
00:08:48You have a certain quality,
00:08:50Mrs. Shang.
00:08:50That's quite similar
00:08:51to Mr. Shang's.
00:08:53Not bad.
00:08:55He's got good taste.
00:08:59Cece's here.
00:09:00Aidan's in the restroom.
00:09:05Have a seat.
00:09:14Cece,
00:09:15what would you like to drink?
00:09:17Milk or juice?
00:09:18Just some warm water, please.
00:09:21Isla doesn't know.
00:09:22You're coming over this afternoon.
00:09:23She can come anytime.
00:09:28When we agreed
00:09:29to the family swap,
00:09:30we said we could visit freely.
00:09:32I'm not that petty.
00:09:36Exactly.
00:09:37You raised Isla yourself.
00:09:39Just because she's not
00:09:40your biological daughter,
00:09:42does she have to avoid people
00:09:43when she visits?
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:47Yes.
00:09:47Yes.
00:09:48Yes.
00:09:48Yes.
00:09:49Yes.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51Yes.
00:09:52Yes.
00:09:52Yes.
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:53Yes.
00:10:05Are you cold?
00:10:14The cold doesn't bother me.
00:10:21I know you don't mind the cold,
00:10:23but you should still bundle up.
00:10:24A girl shouldn't catch a chill.
00:10:26All right.
00:10:27I'll put on more layers
00:10:28when I get back.
00:10:40Sienna.
00:10:41Is that a wedding ring
00:10:42on your finger?
00:10:43M.H.
00:10:45M.H.M.
00:10:46The diamond's not huge,
00:10:48but it's perfect for every
00:10:49day wear.
00:10:50Did Aiden pick it out for you himself?
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:55He picked it out himself.
00:10:57Well,
00:10:58Oscar said that.
00:10:59So I had to humor him.
00:11:04Sienna works at the courthouse,
00:11:06so she shouldn't wear anything
00:11:11might seem stern and old-fashioned but he's always considerate Sienna you're so lucky you're lucky
00:11:19too you got to marry the man you wanted now that we've acknowledged our biological daughters what
00:11:27about the marriage alliance between them how should we handle it since I'm the Wen family's
00:11:32daughter now the marriage alliance between the Wen and Lu families should be mine actually I've had
00:11:38a crush on Liam for five years I I want to marry him the Yan and Shang families agreed to a childhood
00:11:48engagement 10 years ago our family's interests are too intertwined this marriage absolutely cannot
00:11:54have any problems look I can marry Aiden
00:12:08honestly Isla snatched Sienna's fiancee Sienna ended up marrying Aiden
00:12:27my college dream was to marry Liam can you believe it actually came true
00:12:35how nice for you
00:12:38what brings you two here today Isla said she missed mom and dad yeah this isn't appropriate
00:12:50next time you should visit separately she said it was fine earlier I was already here are you really
00:13:02going to kick Isla out you are my elder sir and I am your junior normally I shouldn't speak out of turn
00:13:19but Sienna is my wife I can't just watch her be treated unfairly
00:13:23you and the Wen family agreed that after swapping the daughters back you could still visit as usual
00:13:29but between the adoptive daughter and the biological daughter there should still be some boundaries
00:13:34at the very least Sienna didn't during Isla's newlywed visit to her family
00:13:39go and visit the Wen family
00:13:41you
00:13:49we were definitely in the wrong here I didn't know today was Sienna's newlyweds visit to her family
00:14:01Isla said she missed mom and dad so I brought her over
00:14:04does he think I'm in the wrong or is he still hung up on Sienna and defending her
00:14:11I'm sorry I didn't think it through you're not a kid anymore start thinking ahead
00:14:20I'm sorry it won't happen again
00:14:25we're gonna head out
00:14:34Aiden's got a meeting tonight we should get going
00:14:40actually I'm not that busy
00:14:44no you're busy
00:14:48exactly
00:14:51I am busy
00:15:01mom dad we're heading out
00:15:14they don't act like a married couple at all
00:15:16let's go back
00:15:32got a minute to talk
00:15:33Sienna was sick a lot as a child
00:15:40she can't feel the cold
00:15:42every time the seasons change and it gets cold
00:15:44she gets sick
00:15:45just a heads up
00:15:46thanks for the heads up
00:15:48don't take it the wrong way
00:15:50I'm not saying this as her ex-fiancé
00:15:53I'm saying it
00:15:54on behalf of my good friend Julian Wen
00:15:56I won't
00:16:01Julian raised Sienna himself
00:16:02he's always cherished her like the apple of his eye
00:16:05he's been abroad on business
00:16:07he missed the whole family swap
00:16:09when Julian gets back there's gonna be some drama
00:16:12got it
00:16:15I wonder if Sienna
00:16:23living with a man like that
00:16:25will be bored to death
00:16:27I'm actually looking forward to Julian's return
00:16:31and seeing his reaction to the new brother-in-law
00:16:33Arthur
00:16:39we were so wrong
00:16:41there's no such thing as having it all
00:16:43we can only choose one of our daughters
00:16:47didn't we agree on this before
00:16:50Sienna is my own flesh and blood
00:16:53I've been failing her for 27 years
00:16:56we finally found her
00:16:58and she still has to suffer
00:16:59no wonder she's refusing to change her last name
00:17:03she's holding a grudge against us
00:17:06she and Liam were childhood sweethearts from the start
00:17:09Liam is a reliable man
00:17:11the entire Lou family adores her
00:17:14that marriage should have been Sienna's
00:17:16the happiness Isla's living in right now
00:17:19should have been Sienna's
00:17:22Aiden is impressive, sure
00:17:24but no matter how impressive
00:17:26he's not who Sienna wanted to marry
00:17:27Sienna never had a choice from the start
00:17:31I said it back then
00:17:33people can't be too greedy
00:17:35you can't want your biological daughter
00:17:38and your adoptive daughter
00:17:40a child you've raised from day one
00:17:43will always feel closer
00:17:45when we're together
00:17:46if we're too close to our adopted daughter
00:17:48our biological child will overthink it
00:17:50but if we're too good to our biological child
00:17:52and neglect our adopted daughter
00:17:55she'll feel wrong too
00:17:56Isla's naive
00:17:59and impulsive
00:18:01she does whatever she pleases
00:18:03it's no wonder she ends up hurting people
00:18:07Cece's so understanding
00:18:09but we can't keep letting her get the short end of the stick
00:18:12easy for you to say now
00:18:14why weren't you more decisive then
00:18:16I understand the reasoning
00:18:20but who can really be that heartless
00:18:22to disown the child they raised
00:18:25take today
00:18:27Isla said she wanted to come home
00:18:29even if we'd known ahead of time
00:18:31could we really have told her not to
00:18:34we've always cherished Isla
00:18:35spoiled her rotten since she was little
00:18:37even after finding out she's not our biological child
00:18:40we can't just turn our backs on her now
00:18:44if this goes on
00:18:46Cece will never see us as her parents
00:18:49and Isla's bound to overthink things
00:18:51what are we supposed to do
00:18:53Isla's spoiled and willful
00:18:56and Ethan's rebellious
00:18:58by comparison
00:18:59the Wen family did a good job raising Sienna
00:19:03I've heard their eldest son Julian is outstanding too
00:19:08Arthur
00:19:10should we talk this over with the Wen family again
00:19:13from now on the two families should keep their distance
00:19:17can you really bear that
00:19:18we'll have to make a choice sooner or later
00:19:20it's hard but we have to
00:19:22otherwise both kids will end up getting hurt
00:19:25besides if we stay too close to Isla
00:19:28the Wen family might have something to say
00:19:32I also hope Isla can get along with her biological parents
00:19:39all right this weekend
00:19:42I'll find time to sit down with Howard and have a proper talk
00:19:44Liam said you don't feel the cold
00:19:51you get sick every time the season changes
00:19:57Liam said you don't feel the cold
00:19:59you come down with something every time the season changes
00:20:04that's actually true for me
00:20:06it's been warm lately
00:20:09so it slipped my mind
00:20:11oh and I forgot to mention it to you
00:20:14I'll keep that in mind from now on

00:25:00you
00:25:04you
00:25:06you
00:25:08What are these files?
00:25:35Sienna, these are from Mr. Huang.
00:25:41He's afraid I'll be idle.
00:25:43Mr. Huang said, you have less litigation experience, so he put together some cases for you to practice on.
00:25:48I took a quick peek earlier, and the quality of these cases is pretty good, as expected of Mr. Huang's top apprentice.
00:26:03What's up?
00:26:04He he.
00:26:13Sienna, Isla and Liam went back to the Yen family yesterday.
00:26:19Why are you asking about that?
00:26:22I'm just looking out for you. Don't you want to know the reason?
00:26:26No.
00:26:27Liam's dear sister, Zoe, specifically told me, and warned me not to tell you. But I don't care, I have to tell you.
00:26:39Then tell me.
00:26:41It's because of the marital home.
00:26:46The marital home?
00:26:48Ever since Isla and Liam got married, they've been living in the marital home that was meant for you.
00:26:56A couple of days ago, they went to the Liu family for dinner. Someone at the dinner table brought up the marital home.
00:27:03She burst into tears right there.
00:27:05Why are they living in that house?
00:27:06Why are they living in that house?
00:27:08That was her choice. When they got married, they asked her if she wanted a new place, or the old one. That's what she chose. Now she's playing the victim. Like the Liu family deliberately embarrassed her.
00:27:22So that's why she went back to the Yen family. It's because she felt wronged by the Liu family. So she ran to the Yen family to complain.
00:27:32On the day of your newlyweds visit to the bride's family, she showed up at your family home with Liam. For those who knew the backstory, it was just an impulsive act. Others thought she was just, trying to get under your skin.
00:27:43Oh, and here's the best part. Zoe told me, after they got back yesterday, the young miss was in a mood again. She threw a fit with Liam. She even talked about separating.
00:27:58You're well informed.
00:28:00Zoe filled me in. She feels bad for her brother. She was dead set on marrying him. As for the marital home, she said it was fine. Now she's causing all this drama.
00:28:11The Liu family already resented her, for stealing your engagement. With all this fuss, how's she gonna get by?
00:28:18She just sees Liam, as being too important. When you care too much about someone, see them as too important, you get overly sensitive and overthink everything. A little hurt. Gets blown way out of proportion.
00:28:33In my opinion, she thinks too highly of herself. She expects everyone, to cater to her.
00:28:38You sure talk a lot. About that case I gave you yesterday. Have you looked into it?
00:28:45I still need to review some files.
00:28:50Then I want your thoughts, before you leave.
00:28:53Got it.
00:28:55And a written report.
00:28:57Will do. Yes, my dear lawyer.
00:29:00Okay.
00:29:07Cool.
00:29:11I like it my way.
00:29:21Do you like coffee?
00:29:36I do, sort of.
00:29:40Sienna, the cafeteria lady is here.
00:29:49Sienna, Mrs. Wen is here.
00:29:51My mom is here. I'll talk to you later.
00:30:04Did you know that Isla and Liam have been separated recently?
00:30:07I've heard a little about it. I just didn't think it was still going on.
00:30:12It's gotten even worse. They're having marital problems, and it's partly because of you.
00:30:17Their conflict is about the marital home, and it has nothing to do with me.
00:30:23Who says it has nothing to do with you?
00:30:25I heard that a few days ago, during your newlyweds visit to your family, your husband even went and scolded Isla, saying she shouldn't have gone to the Yan family.
00:30:33Also, Liam specifically went to find Aiden, to remind him that you're sensitive to the cold.
00:30:39Don't you think that's crossing a line? You two are ex-fiancés.
00:30:42Now that you're both married, it's best to keep some distance.
00:30:47Did you come today?
00:30:49To vent Isla's anger and teach me a lesson?
00:30:52That's not what I meant. It's just...
00:30:55I have something to ask of you.
00:30:59Go ahead.
00:31:01Isla has been in a bad mood recently.
00:31:03The main reason for their marital conflict, is also because of you.
00:31:07So recently, don't go back to the Wen family, to avoid running into her.
00:31:11And making her feel worse.
00:31:14Well, I'm not saying you can't come.
00:31:17Just try to avoid her.
00:31:18And at the Yan family's place, just don't meet with her either.
00:31:24Since you're begging me, I don't have the right, to be ungrateful, right?
00:31:29You don't have to put it so harshly.
00:31:32What ungrateful?
00:31:33Is there anything else?
00:31:35If not, I'm going to get back to work.
00:31:37Not quite bad, but not quite good either.
00:31:49Is this meant to wear someone down?
00:31:56Sometimes when a machine doesn't work, a good kick might fix it.
00:32:01Sienna, so it's you.
00:32:02You scared me to death.
00:32:03Is your stomach acting up again?
00:32:14Hooter.
00:32:14Is your stomach bothering you again?
00:32:17I'll manage.
00:32:20Do I look that bad?
00:32:22I have a hearing this afternoon.
00:32:24It won't look good.
00:32:26Got any stomach meds in the office?
00:32:28See, how many times have I told you?
00:32:33Sienna, you have such a good memory.
00:32:35You remember all those cases after just one look.
00:32:37Then how come you can't remember?
00:32:39To keep a box of stomach medicine in the office?
00:32:44I have some.
00:32:45Let me go look for it.
00:32:46Wait here for me, okay?
00:32:47Um hum.
00:32:48Oh.
00:32:49Let me print that for you.
00:33:01Bella, are the documents printed yet?
00:33:05Sienna.
00:33:08Sienna, a high caliber professional like you.
00:33:11Cutting in line is a bit low, don't you think?
00:33:13True.
00:33:19If I remember correctly, I was the one who asked Bella to come print first.
00:33:23So how did you end up here instead?
00:33:28Fixing the printer.
00:33:30Here, mix this with hot water.
00:33:32If it's still bad, we'll go to the hospital.
00:33:34Javier, if you're that short-staffed, I'll have a word with the director and get you a few more assistants, so it doesn't affect other teams' efficiency.
00:33:51No need.
00:33:56Thanks.
00:33:57The printer's fixed.
00:34:04Oh.
00:34:06Javier.
00:34:12No need to thank me.
00:34:20Javier.
00:34:21Still need me to print those.
00:34:24No, I don't.
00:34:25Someone else will handle it later.
00:34:27Wouldn't want to hold back your team contributions.
00:34:29Javier always has such great team spirit.
00:34:34It's getting chilly.
00:34:37Have something warm to drink.
00:34:39You're the only one who knows how to take care of me.
00:34:41Sienna must be wondering how my parents, who were so loving and kind, ended up raising someone as rigid as my brother.
00:34:49I am a bit curious.
00:34:51Well, that's actually mom and dad's fault.
00:34:54When we were kids, they were always off in their own little world.
00:34:57They'd leave me and my brother for Aiden to look after.
00:34:59To keep us in line, he had to keep a straight face all the time.
00:35:02Eventually, it just became a habit.
00:35:08Is that really what happened?
00:35:10Don't listen to her nonsense.
00:35:13Hey, that's exactly what happened.
00:35:15See, he's putting on that serious face and using that stern tone, just like my homeroom teacher.
00:35:20Mia, don't you go blaming Aiden.
00:35:22Back when he attended parent-teacher conferences for me, his presence was even more intimidating than my homeroom teachers.
00:35:28He even scared my homeroom teacher.
00:35:34Aiden, you said Cece likes pork tripe and chicken soup, so I had some made especially for her.
00:35:39What are you waiting for?
00:35:42Go on, get Cece a bowl.
00:36:03Why aren't you wearing your ring?
00:36:09I'm not used to it, and it's not practical for work.
00:36:18Morning.
00:36:23You're not wearing your ring.
00:36:28I'm not used to it, and it's not practical for work.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:39Mr. Shang, the ring you requested.
00:37:05Let's go.
00:37:06Mrs. Shang, you have a package.
00:37:10It's from the Southlands.
00:37:12I haven't bought anything recently.
00:37:14It's probably Aiden's.
00:37:16It has your name on it.
00:37:33Do you like it?
00:37:36Haven't tried it yet, but it smells great.
00:37:41Try it first.
00:37:43Saying thank you feels too formal.
00:37:46It creates distance.
00:37:49But not saying anything.
00:37:50But if I don't say anything about tomorrow.
00:37:52Would be even more awkward.
00:37:57Okay, tomorrow.
00:37:58Okay.
00:37:59I've been away on business for a week.
00:38:07Is he hinting at something?
00:38:10This whole week, you didn't give me a single call.
00:38:12Not even a single text.
00:38:14That's not how a normal married couple acts.
00:38:19Got a minute to talk?
00:38:22Yes.
00:38:23Hello.
00:38:28Mr. Shang, what do you think a normal married couple should be like?
00:38:35For example, like my parents.
00:38:40When mom cooks, dad helps by chopping vegetables.
00:38:44When mom arranges flowers, dad goes to the garden to cut some for her.
00:38:49And every now and then, dad surprises mom for the holidays.
00:38:53I think that kind of relationship wouldn't work for us, I think.
00:39:01There's no such thing as a normal dynamic for a married couple.
00:39:05Every couple's dynamic is different.
00:39:08It's all figured out through daily life.
00:39:14How would you know if it doesn't fit without trying?
00:39:17Well, can you chop vegetables?
00:39:19I can learn.
00:39:24Aiden is learning to chop vegetables.
00:39:27Those hands, once in the financial district, stirring up storms.
00:39:31Now hold a kitchen knife.
00:39:33Shred the potatoes.
00:39:35Also, don't call me Mr. Shang.
00:39:38You're not my subordinate.
00:39:40Then what should I call you?
00:39:42Call me.
00:39:45Husband.
00:39:49But you made a good point earlier.
00:39:54We really should call each other more often to get to know each other better.
00:39:59Then remember to call me next time.
00:40:04Or I can call you.
00:40:07Once a week.
00:40:08Mr. Shang really is a very adaptable person.
00:40:12Either way is fine.
00:40:14Whoever has time can call.
00:40:17Um-hum.
00:40:18Um-hum.
00:40:38Sienna.
00:40:40Sienna.
00:40:40Sienna.
00:40:40It's getting colder in Viridia.
00:40:49Remember to put on an extra layer.
00:40:53Hello?
00:40:54Cece.
00:40:55Are you free tomorrow night?
00:40:58Yes.
00:40:59Then can you come home?
00:41:00Someone just send us a whole crate of fresh crabs.
00:41:03I'll have the cook prepare them for us to try.
00:41:05It'll just be me, your dad, and Ethan.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:15Mrs. Shang.
00:41:16It's gotten colder today.
00:41:18Please remember to wear an extra layer.
00:41:20Did Aiden ask you to remind me?
00:41:22Yes.
00:41:22A while ago.
00:41:23Sir mentioned it to me.
00:41:24He told me to keep an eye on the weather.
00:41:26And remind you to dress warmly.
00:41:29That's thoughtful of him.
00:41:30Even though Sir is away on business.
00:41:32He's always thinking of you.
00:41:33Look at you.
00:41:44Your makeup's all smeared.
00:41:49There.
00:41:50There.
00:41:51Stop crying.
00:41:52You look like a little raccoon now.
00:41:57Isla just showed up in tears.
00:41:59I had no clue.
00:42:00I was just about to text you.
00:42:03Did something happen?
00:42:04Isla and Liam had a fight.
00:42:07Sienna?
00:42:08What are you doing here?
00:42:10I asked Cece to come home for dinner.
00:42:13I'm sorry, Sienna.
00:42:15I'm not in a good mood today.
00:42:17I wasn't thinking straight.
00:42:19And I didn't tell mom in advance.
00:42:20I just came over.
00:42:22I understand.
00:42:24You.
00:42:25No, I had a fight with Liam.
00:42:30I heard something.
00:42:33Do you need me to leave?
00:42:36Cece, you haven't been home in ages.
00:42:39Now that you're finally here.
00:42:41At least stay for dinner.
00:42:43It's all right.
00:42:45I'll come by another day.
00:42:47Cece, the crabs we're having tonight are especially good.
00:42:50Your dad's friend specifically sent them over.
00:42:53Here, at least try a little.
00:42:55I had someone pack a box for you to take home.
00:42:58Mom.
00:42:59My stomach's been acting up.
00:43:03I can't have crab.
00:43:23Mom.
00:43:33Mom.
00:43:47Isla, dear. Next time, could you text me before you come home?
00:43:57Why?
00:43:59Is it just because I'm not your biological daughter?
00:44:04Yes.
00:44:05It's true. I'm not your biological daughter. But I've been your daughter for 27 years.
00:44:12Isla, you're a grown woman now.
00:44:14You were the one who insisted on marrying Liam.
00:44:16You've only been married for a few days, and you're already arguing. What is it you really want?
00:44:20I want him to be completely devoted to me. I want him to know his boundaries. Is that too much to ask?
00:44:25Liam just gave Aiden a bit of advice. He hasn't done anything out of line. Plus, he hasn't spoken to Cece alone.
00:44:33He's already explained that to you. Julian is his friend. Before he went abroad, he asked Liam to look after Cece.
00:44:40Mom, are you saying I'm the one in the wrong?
00:44:43Isla, in a marriage, it's not always about who's right or wrong. It's about understanding and tolerance.
00:44:50You had a crush on Liam for five years. You dreamed of nothing but marrying him. Now you finally got him.
00:44:56But what do you do? Fight every other day, and causing drama all the time. Is this the life you wanted?
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:05Fine.
00:45:05Fine.
00:45:13Fine.
00:45:19Fine.
00:45:20but liam doesn't like sienna and sienna doesn't like him the engagement between them was always
00:45:38a sham it was fabricated to appease the elders a complete fabrication they were never ever going
00:45:43to get married if she really didn't want to marry aiden she could have refused the marriage she
00:45:48could have walked away and found someone else why blame me for stealing her marriage if there was
00:45:53no engagement between cc and liam would you even be married to him mom lay off isla what's wrong with
00:46:00isla marrying the man she loves she was willing liam was willing they didn't hurt anybody now that

00:47:59for the time being you giant
00:48:20you
00:48:21you
00:48:21you
00:48:23you
00:48:24Mrs. Shang, this was delivered from the Yan family this morning.
00:48:42They specifically asked that it be handed directly to you.
00:48:54Mrs. Shang, I need to apologize to you first.
00:49:01You've been hurt twice because of this.
00:49:05But I still want to explain.
00:49:08I really didn't know that Isla would come that day.
00:49:11I was thinking, since Aiden was away on business, I wanted to invite you home for a meal.
00:49:16So the family could spend more time together.
00:49:19I also wanted to discuss the agreement our families made and see if we should change it.
00:49:25I didn't expect Isla to show up suddenly.
00:49:28It threw all our plans off.
00:49:31I lost you for 27 years.
00:49:33I couldn't be there to watch you grow up.
00:49:36I don't know your habits.
00:49:38I had no idea you had a sensitive stomach and couldn't handle crab.
00:49:49Mom wanted to learn about your past.
00:50:04And your habits.
00:50:06I was just scared to bother you.
00:50:09Worried you'd think I was overstepping.
00:50:11I could only use my own methods to show you that I care.
00:50:15But I only made things worse.
00:50:17I only made.
00:50:18And hurt you even more.
00:50:22About yesterday.
00:50:23I've been thinking about it all night.
00:50:25Crying all night too.
00:50:29We're the ones who lost you.
00:50:31And that mistake.
00:50:33Cost us 27 years.
00:50:38We failed you.
00:50:39Ever since we got it back from the Yan family.
00:50:45How many times have you looked at it?
00:50:4927 years.
00:50:52We lost our CC.
00:50:59Your dad and I want to make it right.
00:51:02To make up for all those years.
00:51:04We missed with you.
00:51:06With an adopted daughter and a biological one.
00:51:09It's about the bond you built.
00:51:11Versus the blood you share.
00:51:13That balance is the hardest to find.
00:51:17I used to be.
00:51:18Too greedy.
00:51:19I wanted it all.
00:51:20But now I see.
00:51:22That I can't be fair to both.
00:51:24When I graduated my dream.
00:51:26Was to marry Liam.
00:51:28I never imagined.
00:51:30It would actually come true.
00:51:33I.
00:51:35Get to marry Aiden.
00:51:37Since you came home.
00:51:38You haven't felt any warmth.
00:51:41Instead.
00:51:42You've only been wronged.
00:51:43So your father and I have decided.
00:51:45To talk to the WEN family again.
00:51:48Unless it's absolutely necessary.
00:51:49Our family should keep their distance.
00:51:52Isla belongs to the WEN family.
00:51:54She has the WEN parents to take care of her.
00:51:57But you're our daughter.
00:51:59And we're the ones who should care for you.
00:52:01I'm begging you.

00:52:55mrs when ah this way please we don't need you here you may go now
00:53:06madam maria you can go and rest now yes ma'am madam
00:53:15your marital home here is really nice the shang family is showing their sincerity
00:53:23mrs shang has been praising you a lot lately saying you're exceptionally capable and have a
00:53:29good personality a few days ago at an auction she even bought you a set of jewelry in the social
00:53:34circles of viridia everyone knows how outstanding aiden is the women who want to marry him could
00:53:40line up around the block not only do you have a wonderful mother-in-law but also a wonderful
00:53:44husband marrying a great husband like aiden and having such a wonderful mother-in-law is all thanks
00:53:51to isla what are you getting at sienna you went to see isla ms when watch your language i ran into
00:54:03her by chance when i went back to the yen family home have you forgotten what you promised me
00:54:08why did you go back on your word and appear in front of isla making her feel wronged
00:54:15isla complained to you did she have to complain yesterday afternoon she came home in tears i didn't
00:54:23even have to ask to know you were involved you promised you wouldn't appear in front of isla if
00:54:28you couldn't keep it you shouldn't have agreed to it the yen family called me they asked me to come
00:54:34back i didn't expect her to be there my promise was only about not setting foot in the one house
00:54:40i didn't promise that i couldn't return to the yen family home did i you're a lawyer you're an expert
00:54:46at twisting words i can't argue with you then don't say another word
00:54:50sienna so now that you have your biological parents you're disowning me your adoptive mother is that it
00:54:59my brother will be back any minute now
00:55:07about the family swap between isla and me you better figure out how you're gonna explain it to
00:55:16him don't use your brother to pressure me for years now my brother goes abroad every single year
00:55:23for a whole month and he's completely unreachable not even me aren't you the least bit curious
00:55:31what's there to be curious about your brother's on a business trip overseas is it really that strange
00:55:36if he's unreachable even your father is unreachable half the time and i don't see any of you questioning
00:55:42that
00:55:42just as i thought i shouldn't have expected much from nina
00:55:48my brother's been unwell for so long and she hasn't noticed a thing
00:55:54if you truly care about isla then step up as a mother and take responsibility teach her how to
00:56:03save her marriage and get her life together instead of putting on an act here to get justice for her
00:56:10you since the family swap you should each take care of your own mrs one you shouldn't be here
00:56:18isla has no boundaries and neither do you sienna shouldn't be the one suffering from both sides
00:56:23that's not what i meant and since you said that isla and sienna should keep their distance
00:56:29then the one and shang families should also keep their distance
00:56:32maria please see mrs one out
00:56:45i never would have thought that in this tangled web of family relations
00:57:01the first person to stand up for me was aiden
00:57:15that coffee you sent from your trip it's really good i'll make you a cup as a thank you
00:57:25appreciate it
00:57:27just give me a sec
00:57:30here try it
00:57:42thank you
00:57:50what made you think of sending me coffee out of the blue
00:57:56you like coffee
00:57:58i just mentioned it offhand and he actually remembered
00:58:02yeah
00:58:03your mother texted me
00:58:08she told me what's been going on lately
00:58:10your parents are planning to meet with the one family soon
00:58:13to discuss keeping some distance between the two families from now on
00:58:17and making sure each side keeps their own children in check
00:58:20what are your thoughts on that
00:58:22none
00:58:25if you didn't agree with the family swap
00:58:30why didn't you refuse back then
00:58:32the first to propose the family swap
00:58:40were my adoptive parents
00:58:42they were also the ones who suggested changing my last name
00:58:46even cutting family ties
00:58:47it was arthur and rosalind yen who couldn't bear to part with isla
00:58:52they demanded that even after the swap the two families stay in touch
00:58:59so the win family backed down i was the first one they cast aside
00:59:04i had no right to object to my adoptive parents decision
00:59:09they didn't want me i couldn't just shamelessly cling to the one family
00:59:17i'm sorry
00:59:21i shouldn't have brought it up
00:59:24there's nothing to be sorry about
00:59:27ms when came by today and said i married a good husband
00:59:30and have a good mother-in-law
00:59:33you know what
00:59:34i think she's right
00:59:36swapping parents
00:59:40actually worked out in my favor
00:59:43like marrying you
00:59:46yeah
01:00:02but there's something i need to clarify
01:00:05as for marrying you
01:00:08it's because you're amazing
01:00:11it has nothing to do with anyone or anything else
01:00:14if i wasn't so attracted to you
01:00:17i would never compromise myself
01:00:19for the yen family's benefit
01:00:22so marrying you
01:00:23means i came out on top
01:00:25the
01:00:32you
01:00:34you
01:00:36you
01:00:36you
01:00:37you
