Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Liam's back! Come eat! Hurry up!
00:00:11Sophia, time to eat! I made your favorite today! Lotus Root Soup!
00:00:16Sophia!
00:00:20Don't you touch me!
00:00:25The oil splatters on your apron are gonna get all over my dress!
00:00:28This is a limited edition!
00:00:30Sophia, watch your tone! Can't you be more respectful?
00:00:33Respectful?
00:00:37We're eating this crap again!
00:00:39Yesterday, I went to a Michelin-starred restaurant with Ethan.
00:00:41Just one of their appetizers!
00:00:43Was more exquisite than this whole table of yours!
00:00:45Can't you learn to cook something decent for once?
00:00:47Stop trying to pass off these plain home-cooked meals as something special, will you?
00:00:56Stop eating!
00:01:01No way!
00:01:02Was the original owner of this body out of her mind?
00:01:05She didn't have to work or do anything.
00:01:07She could just lie around at home with her mother-in-law cooking for her, her father-in-law doting
00:01:11on her.
00:01:12She was always asked first about everything good.
00:01:15Her husband was Liam, the kind of guy.
00:01:17With the looks, the character, and the family background all rolled into one.
00:01:22She got $6,000 in allowance every month.
00:01:25And yet, she didn't appreciate it, and she was still chasing after that scumbag?
00:01:31What's wrong with my lotus root soup?
00:01:33Can that fancy Michelin food even compare to a home-cooked meal?
00:01:36Stop eating!
00:01:39Stop eating!
00:01:48Sophia's on!
00:01:50Don't go too far!
00:01:54Liam!
00:01:55Just look at you, all shabby.
00:01:57Your shirt collar is frayed, and you dare eat at the same table as me?
00:02:01And that junk car of yours.
00:02:03I don't even want to mention it.
00:02:04A $60,000 beater.
00:02:05You're not embarrassed to drive it?
00:02:08If it's not a Porsche like Ethan's.
00:02:10I find it humiliating.
00:02:19Hey, Ethan.
00:02:21You're done for the day.
00:02:22What?
00:02:23You want a drink from that boba shop on the west side?
00:02:25Okay, I'll go get it for you right now.
00:02:27Wait for me, k?
00:02:32Sophia, finish your meal.
00:02:33Don't stop me.
00:02:34You.
00:02:38Oh, that's right.
00:02:39Oh, right.
00:02:40Oh, right.
00:02:41Liam.
00:02:43Let's get a divorce.
00:02:45Ethan promised me.
00:02:46He'll get engaged to me once I'm divorced.
00:02:49With your meager fixed salary.
00:02:50I've had enough of this stupid research job.
00:02:56And I won't be living in this house anymore.
00:02:58Pack up my things right away.
00:02:59Don't take up space.
00:03:00Sophia song.
00:03:01How can you face Liam?
00:03:02Face him.
00:03:03He's the one who's not good enough for me.
00:03:06If it weren't for grandpa's foolishly arranged marriage back then.
00:03:09How could I have married this?
00:03:11Boring nerd.
00:03:13Sam.
00:03:24Today.
00:03:41Dijon,
00:03:41Oh,
00:03:41And I'll see you later.
00:03:47Liam, she's awake. Quick, bring the divorce agreement.
00:03:51Where is this? What divorce agreement?
00:04:01Take a look.
00:04:03No way. What? I actually transmigrated into a novel.
00:04:08As the male lead's vicious ex-wife, no way I'm getting divorced.
00:04:16What are you doing? What trick are you trying to pull now?
00:04:19No. Why can't I tear this? This A4 paper is really good quality.
00:04:26The agreement has already been signed. You can move out of here right now, in one month.
00:04:31Remember to go get the divorce papers on time.
00:04:34Although the original owner of this body has already cheated on you.
00:04:38But...
00:04:38It wasn't me who did it. She doesn't want you, but I do.
00:04:44Well, I haven't found a place to stay yet. Can I wait until I get the divorce papers before I
00:04:48leave?
00:04:48You're not thinking of backing out, are you? Our Lu family has put up with you long enough.
00:04:53You are the one who asked for this divorce. You're getting divorced whether you like it or not.
00:04:57Just think about how the original owner was kicked out of her home in her past life, by her evil
00:05:01stepmother and greedy father, and then got run over and killed by Ethan Yee.
00:05:04What else can I do if I don't lay low here? I was wrong before. It was all my fault.
00:05:09But I've really, run into some difficulties lately.
00:05:12Can you let me stay for...
00:05:14One more month?
00:05:16Please!
00:05:17When did Sophia Song become so humble? She's actually begging us. She's either gone crazy, or she's plotting something.
00:05:24Then go find your lover. Isn't he some rich kid, and he can't find you a place to stay?
00:05:28Aye, there's really nothing between him and me. I was indeed fooled by him, for a while. But I've already,
00:05:36seen his true colors. He's a scumbag. I won't be with him.
00:05:39So you're planning on getting back with your ex? My brother, is not a recycling bin for trashy people.
00:05:45I really won't pester your brother. It's just that I really have nowhere to go right now. One month. Just
00:05:51one month. I promise. One month. I swear.
00:05:55There. You. You have no shame. Do you think our family is easy to bully?
00:05:59Enough.
00:06:03Fine. One more month then. You leave immediately after you get the papers.
00:06:09Thank you. I'll move to the guest room today, and I absolutely won't disturb you.
00:06:13That's not necessary.
00:06:16Ugh. This is so awkward. What kind of disastrous start is this?
00:06:21Ethan, that supporting character, is like a leech. Impossible to shake off.
00:06:25What's so great about him anyway? Why are you so obsessed with him?
00:06:30Girl, you're so blind. That scumbag Ethan didn't want you before the marriage.
00:06:35Then after the wedding, he just led you on for fun. A prime catch like Liam.
00:06:39You never even got a taste. And you won't let me have a taste either. Is that a good deal?
00:06:48Baby, have you signed the divorce agreement? What do you want to eat later, baby?
00:06:51I'll come pick you up when you're done.
00:07:03I'm so hungry.
00:07:06I really want some spicy snail noodle delivery.
00:07:08I really want some spicy snail noodle delivery.
00:07:11Ah, no, no. Let me change and go out to eat instead.
00:07:29Let's eat together.
00:07:33Thanks, Mom.
00:07:38The original owner of this body has already gone this far, yet you're still willing to cook for her.
00:07:46Thanks, Dad.
00:07:51Except for right after the wedding, when she called us Mom and Dad a few times.
00:07:55She hasn't called us that since.
00:07:58Could it be that she's getting a divorce?
00:08:00So she's in a good mood?
00:08:03Pork rib soup with fresh lotus root.
00:08:05Blanch the ribs.
00:08:06Sauté with lard.
00:08:07Then simmer on low heat for two hours.
00:08:20I never would have guessed.
00:08:22She has such a big appetite.
00:08:28Thanks, Mom and Dad.
00:08:30This soup is absolutely delicious.
00:08:32And this, and this, everything is so good.
00:08:35She wasn't like this before at meals.
00:08:37She'd just eat a little and leave.
00:08:39But today...
00:08:43I'll take care of this.
00:08:45Oh, Mom, please, I've got it.
00:08:48Just leave it.
00:08:49I'll, I'll get it.
00:08:50No, really, I've got it.
00:09:07You don't actually know how to do dishes, do you?
00:09:09Let me do it.
00:09:11Who says I don't?
00:09:12Haven't you heard the saying, I only eat, I don't do dishes?
00:09:14That's just being a creep.
00:09:16Don't you worry.
00:09:16I'll scrub every last dish until it's spotless.
00:09:19Sparkling clean.
00:09:33Wow, she's changed.
00:09:42So this meal shouldn't count as freeloading, right?
00:09:45So next time, I can just mooch off you again.
00:09:49Then I move out of the room.
00:09:51Mission accomplished.
00:09:52Hehe.
00:09:53Hehe.
00:10:00This is the life.
00:10:02Great food, no chores.
00:10:03And my husband gives me $6,000 a month.
00:10:12Girl, what's your problem with this, exactly?
00:10:16Don't you dare.
00:10:18Don't touch me.
00:10:19You're sleeping in the guest room tonight.
00:10:21Got it?
00:10:22Get lost.
00:10:29Well, look at this now.
00:10:31The mansion.
00:10:32The pretty boy.
00:10:33All gone.
00:10:48Oh, come on, out with it.
00:10:50Mr. Lu already has a grandson to dote on.
00:10:52Who knows when we'll get ours.
00:10:54Ugh.
00:10:54Tell me about it.
00:10:55Mom, Dad, let me help with the veggies.
00:11:10Sophia.
00:11:11Yes?
00:11:12Now that you're divorced, what are your plans?
00:11:15I've already started house hunting.
00:11:18I'll move out first, then look for a job.
00:11:22Even after a divorce, life goes on.
00:11:25You're still young.
00:11:26As long as you keep your heart in the right place, you can still build a good life for
00:11:31yourself.
00:11:31I will, Mom.
00:11:35So, what would you like for dinner?
00:11:38Ugh, when will I learn?
00:11:40Every time I ask, she just gives me that sour look.
00:11:43I'm just asking for the cold shoulder again.
00:11:46Anything's fine.
00:11:47I like everything.
00:11:49Then let's throw in a couple of cucumbers.
00:11:53Great.
00:11:55How do you want them prepared?
00:11:58Raw, boiled, or in a salad.
00:12:01I like it all.
00:12:03Then let's make a salad.
00:12:04Good.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:08Alright, a salad it is then.
00:12:11Mom.
00:12:12Dad.
00:12:13I'm home.
00:12:16Perfect timing.
00:12:17Dinner's ready.
00:12:18I'll go bring out the soup.
00:12:20Oh, Mom, let me get that.
00:12:23Oh.
00:12:24I forgot the salt.
00:12:26Don't forget the salt.
00:12:27Okay.
00:12:29What's going on?
00:12:30What is this?
00:12:33Let's eat first.
00:12:34I'll tell you later.
00:12:35Soup's on.
00:12:37Alright.
00:12:38Let's eat.
00:12:39Let's eat.
00:12:41Mom.
00:12:42Dad.
00:12:43About this chicken soup.
00:12:44Am I seeing things?
00:12:46No need.
00:12:47We can serve ourselves.
00:12:48Calling them, Mom and Dad so affectionately?
00:12:51Here.
00:12:52Some soup.
00:12:52Yes.
00:12:53I'm used to having soup first.
00:12:55And she just sits down to eat like nothing's wrong?
00:12:58Liam and she signed.
00:13:00The divorce agreement, right?
00:13:04Liam.
00:13:05Are you and Sophia back together?
00:13:14I'll go get another pair from the kitchen.
00:13:19Oh.
00:13:19This kid.
00:13:20So clumsy and careless.
00:13:22Here.
00:13:23Eat.
00:13:23Eat.
00:13:24Thanks, Dad.
00:13:25Have some more.
00:13:27Mom.
00:13:28These braised potatoes you made are absolutely delicious.
00:13:31Just this one dish.
00:13:32I could down a huge bowl of rice.
00:13:34Really?
00:13:34And these cucumbers too.
00:13:35So crisp and refreshing.
00:13:37Dad.
00:13:37Try some.
00:13:38MHM.
00:13:39Let me try.
00:13:40See that, Liam?
00:13:41They're getting a divorce.
00:13:42And she has the nerve to act like family?
00:13:45Is she out of her mind?
00:13:50Okay.
00:13:51Okay.
00:13:52Okay.
00:13:52Okay.
00:13:53Okay.
00:13:53Dad.
00:13:54Try this.
00:13:55It's so good.
00:13:56Isn't it?
00:13:58Refreshing.
00:13:59So refreshing.
00:14:00If you like it, have some more.
00:14:05Liam.
00:14:06Liam, whatever you do, do not come back.
00:14:13All right, what's everyone in the mood for?
00:14:15I'm easy.
00:14:16So, anything goes, huh?
00:14:18Liam, what's up?
00:14:21Nothing.
00:14:22Come on, let's go celebrate.
00:14:24Yeah, let's go.
00:14:27Figured out what to eat yet?
00:14:28How about barbecue?
00:14:30But Professor Lou's gonna have to treat us again.
00:14:32With this huge research breakthrough, Liam alone got a hefty bonus, so he's definitely buying.
00:14:37No problem.
00:14:40You two better keep it together.
00:14:42If his wife sees you, she might get jealous.
00:14:45I have zero interest in Professor Lou.
00:14:47I'm just hitching a ride.
00:14:49I'm married with a kid.
00:14:50I'm totally harmless.
00:14:51But honestly, I'm actually kind of jealous of Professor Lou's wife.
00:14:54Just looking at that face, she probably wakes up every day with a smile.
00:15:01None of us have even met your wife, Liam.
00:15:03And there hasn't even been a wedding yet.
00:15:05Liam, we're all waiting for that wedding feast.
00:15:10No rush.
00:15:11My priority right now is my work at the academy.
00:15:14You know, work is important, but you can't ignore how she feels.
00:15:17She must really want to have her own wedding.
00:15:22She probably never expected one, but it's finally coming to an end.
00:15:34We can get you started tomorrow.
00:15:37How much do you want to take on?
00:15:39It's a small company.
00:15:41Probably just starting out.
00:15:43Doesn't matter to me.
00:15:44As long as the pay is good.
00:15:45Weekly payments.
00:15:46What do you think?
00:15:52Our standard rate is $10 per thousand words.
00:15:55That's a very good price.
00:15:58That's our lowest rate.
00:16:00$20 per thousand words is my minimum.
00:16:02The final rate depends on the difficulty.
00:16:09Let me translate a sample for you.
00:16:12If it's not up to par, you can find someone else.
00:16:38You didn't wish to use translation software, did you?
00:16:40But the wording and phrasing are so natural.
00:16:42No translation software could ever pull that off.
00:16:45It's like it was written by a native French speaker.
00:16:46You're a natural.
00:16:50Your translation is excellent.
00:16:52I'll send you a document tomorrow.
00:16:54If you do a good job, we can negotiate the rate.
00:16:56You'll get at least $20 per thousand words.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:29What are you doing sleeping here?
00:17:32Why are you sleeping here?
00:17:36Those deep, soulful eyes.
00:17:39That strong, straight nose.
00:17:42And those well-defined pecs.
00:17:44Is this really a free dream?
00:17:48Hmm, not sure.
00:17:50Let me get another look.
00:17:55What the?
00:17:56This is not a dream.
00:17:58You!
00:17:58What are you doing here?
00:18:00I should be the one asking you that.
00:18:03Strange.
00:18:04This time, you're not throwing a fit and cursing me out?
00:18:07No.
00:18:08I told you already.
00:18:09I moved out of the master bedroom.
00:18:10And this is the only guest room upstairs.
00:18:13So I came here.
00:18:23You should rest in the master bedroom.
00:18:25It's late.
00:18:25Let's not bother each other.
00:18:27After you.
00:18:33Good morning, Dad.
00:18:36Hey, Mom.
00:18:37Let me help you.
00:18:38You're up early for once.
00:18:45Two.
00:18:47Three.
00:18:50Five.
00:18:51Sweet.
00:18:52There's one for me.
00:18:55What would you like to eat, Mom and Dad?
00:18:58Help yourself to whatever you like.
00:19:00Mom, you love this, right?
00:19:02She actually remembers what I like to eat.
00:19:05And she's handing it to me herself.
00:19:07How'd she know I love beef noodle soup?
00:19:10Thanks to the book's descriptions.
00:19:12It just popped into my head.
00:19:15I'll have this.
00:19:16Otherwise, by the time they wake up, it'll be cold and gross.
00:19:27In the book, Mr. Lu ended up getting diagnosed with diabetes.
00:19:31It was linked to his love for carbs and sweets.
00:19:34Dad.
00:19:35Hmm?
00:19:35You're getting up there in age.
00:19:37Your metabolism slows way down.
00:19:38So you should really cut back on sweets.
00:19:40She's right.
00:19:41What man your age eats cake every other day and only goes for the frosting?
00:19:47I exercise every day.
00:19:48A little bit won't hurt.
00:19:50Besides, early last year, I just had a physical checkup.
00:19:53Came back perfectly clean.
00:19:54I'm in great shape.
00:19:55But he really did get diabetes.
00:20:00Dad.
00:20:01If you don't control your blood sugar, it can lead to eye complications.
00:20:05In severe cases, even amputation.
00:20:08You should still go get checked out.
00:20:10If it's normal, great.
00:20:12But what if?
00:20:14My dad gets a checkup every year.
00:20:17He's in great health.
00:20:18Are you actually hoping?
00:20:20My dad gets diabetes?
00:20:30Liam, what time did you finally get back last night?
00:20:34Around midnight.
00:20:36That's way too late.
00:20:37What?
00:20:37Liam, why not just rest at the Institute?
00:20:40It's such a hassle coming all the way back, and you don't even get good sleep.
00:20:44Isn't your title review coming up this year?
00:20:46If you slip up at work, you could miss out on the promotion.
00:20:50You should just stay at the Institute.
00:20:52Save yourself the trip.
00:20:54Whatever you do, don't you dare come back and give Sophia Song any chance to reconcile with you.
00:20:58By the way.
00:21:00About that title review, it's in the bag, right?
00:21:02Liam's got this in the bag.
00:21:04If he does, he'd be the youngest ever associate academician.
00:21:08That's incredibly rare across the country.
00:21:10Ever since we were kids.
00:21:12Liam's always been the best.
00:21:14He succeeds at whatever he sets his mind to.
00:21:16He never messes up.
00:21:18Whoa.
00:21:19But according to the novel, Liam didn't get it because of the original owner of this body.
00:21:23I heard Liam cheated first, with that face and all the women chasing him.
00:21:27How could he resist temptation?
00:21:29He wasn't good to his wife at all.
00:21:30He was even abusive.
00:21:32That's why his ex-wife ended up cheating.
00:21:34Someone was jealous of Liam, so they spread rumors that his ex-wife cheated while they were still married.
00:21:40That gossip was all over the place.
00:21:45The Institute was also worried about the negative impact to be on the safe side.
00:21:49We decided not to put you forward this year.
00:21:51We hope you understand the leadership's position.
00:21:54Understood, Director.
00:21:56Because of me, his ex-wife, everything went down the drain.
00:22:00And his luck took a turn for the worse from then on.
00:22:03He missed out for years after that.
00:22:06Your brother is the most talented person at the Institute.
00:22:10The contributions he makes every year are huge.
00:22:13There's no way he won't get it.
00:22:15When is the title review anyway?
00:22:20So, when's your title review?
00:22:23What the hell?
00:22:25What's she up to?
00:22:27What's she asking for?
00:22:31What's it to you?
00:22:32You and Liam already agreed to a divorce.
00:22:36I'm not worried about the divorce itself.
00:22:38Could it affect his title review?
00:22:40Even if we can't be husband and wife, I still don't want to see him miss out on his promotion.
00:22:45What if the divorce affects his title review?
00:22:48Wouldn't that be a raw deal?
00:22:51Don't even think about using that as an excuse to stall.
00:22:55Our family has put up with you long enough.
00:22:57Since you're seeing someone else, then stop bothering Liam.
00:23:00Liam?
00:23:01Does your institute have any rules?
00:23:03About divorced people not being eligible for associate academician?
00:23:07No.
00:23:07It has no effect at all.
00:23:10See?
00:23:12Well, that's a relief.
00:23:14It's just that Professor Liu is so outstanding, I'm worried someone might be jealous.
00:23:18And use his divorce to spread false rumors to sabotage his chances.
00:23:23A smart guy like Liam, with a warning this clear, he'll know how to cover his bases.
00:23:29What do you mean, false rumors?
00:23:31Is it false that you're seeing someone else?
00:23:33If my brother's reputation is damaged because of you, I won't let you off the hook either.
00:23:41Even if someone really is targeting me, I'm sure there's a way to handle it.
00:23:46I'll be careful.
00:23:47And there's no reason to blame my wife for everything.
00:23:58Oh, right, Dad.
00:24:00Hmm?
00:24:01Haven't you been feeling thirsty lately?
00:24:03I suggest you go to the hospital regularly for a checkup.
00:24:07Alright, I get it. I'll go soon.
00:24:10Actually, I'm going for a physical checkup tomorrow too.
00:24:13I'll go with you.
00:24:15Remember, Dad, you need to fast before the blood sugar test.
00:24:18So tomorrow morning, be sure not to eat a thing, and no water either.
00:24:31I really gotta earn some cash soon, so I can move out early.
00:24:36Even though I'm really gonna miss, Mom's cooking.
00:24:48I'll go with you.
00:24:54Untranslatable screen text.
00:24:55No wonder they're bumping up my rate.
00:24:57This book has a ton of beauty and skin care prescriptions.
00:25:01It's also packed with Chinese herbal terms.
00:25:06The difficulty level is really high.
00:25:09And these translations must be precise.
00:25:11Otherwise, people could get sick.
00:25:15Om hum.
00:25:32Hang in there.
00:25:42Good morning, Mr. Liu.
00:25:44Morning.
00:25:47You stayed up late again last night.
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:51A new book just launched recently.
00:25:53I've been busy translating it.
00:25:55Oh, goodness.
00:25:56After all, I'm not just the company's HR director.
00:25:58I'm also a translator.
00:25:59Wearing too many hats.
00:26:00It's all because we're short-staffed.
00:26:02Hire more people to handle the translations.
00:26:05You just focus on the recruitment work.
00:26:07I recently found another gem.
00:26:09She's pretty fluent in French.
00:26:10She's even fluent in German.
00:26:11If she's good, I'll hand her all my books to translate.
00:26:15That's good.
00:26:16You arrange it properly.
00:26:19Here you go.
00:26:46I'm really desperate for cash right now.
00:26:49My card only has the $10,000 Ethan transferred to me.
00:26:54No, no, no, I definitely can't touch this money.
00:26:58I need to find time to return all of it.
00:27:07Wow, that's beautifully translated.
00:27:09Absolutely stunning.
00:27:10If I could work that fast, I'd be making six figures by now.
00:27:16We'll give you all of these to translate.
00:27:18The rate is $30 per thousand words.
00:27:20For the translator field, should we use your real name or pen name?
00:27:25My pen name.
00:27:26Just put Sophia three bowls.
00:27:36Oh, mom.
00:27:38Where are you going?
00:27:40Oh, we're out of groceries.
00:27:42I'm heading to the store.
00:27:44Let me go with you.
00:27:45I can help you carry the bags.
00:27:47No, no, it's fine.
00:27:49I can go by myself.
00:27:51It's fine.
00:27:52Oh, mom, please, please let me come with you, please.
00:27:55I'm getting divorced soon.
00:27:57And there's not much I can do for you all.
00:27:59This is the least I can do.
00:28:00Let's go.
00:28:01Now, now, now.
00:28:09Wow, these jujubes look really fresh.
00:28:11Haven't washed them yet.
00:28:13Let's pick some to take home, wash them, and then eat.
00:28:20This one, and this one, too soft.
00:28:23Oh, pick ones like these.
00:28:36Mom, I want these, too.
00:28:37More?
00:28:38All right, then.
00:28:41Mom, you hold this.
00:28:45I'm younger.
00:28:46I'll carry it.
00:28:48Mrs. Liu, buying so much?
00:28:50Yeah.
00:28:51Oh, you're shopping, too?
00:28:53Our Julia is coming home today.
00:28:55We were running low on some things, so I came to get them.
00:28:58Your Julia has her master's now, right?
00:29:02Planning to come back and find a job?
00:29:04Yeah.
00:29:05She's planning to apply for a teaching job at Jiangxing University.
00:29:08Actually, you used to be a professor at Jiangxing University.
00:29:11We were hoping you could put in a good word for her.
00:29:15I've been retired for years now.
00:29:17But I can pass Julia's materials on to some of my old colleagues,
00:29:22see if she meets the requirements.
00:29:24Well, thank you so much.
00:29:25We'll have to treat your whole family to a meal soon.
00:29:28No need to be so formal.
00:29:30You know, Julia's been talking about your Chloe nonstop.
00:29:32We should all get together, catch up.
00:29:36Sounds good.
00:29:37And your Liam, he's so accomplished.
00:29:39He could help our Julia with her career planning.
00:29:42She's always looked up to him ever since she was little.
00:29:45Julia is very accomplished herself.
00:29:48Julia, that name.
00:29:51Oh my God, she's here already.
00:29:54Julia Zhu.
00:29:55In the novel, she's a supporting character obsessed with Liam.
00:29:59Yikes.
00:29:59I just hope Julia doesn't see me as a threat.
00:30:02I have no interest in getting caught up in some female rivalry.
00:30:05My son is such a catch.
00:30:07So many women wanted to marry him, but none succeeded.
00:30:11Julia was crazy about him back then.
00:30:13But Sophia never appreciated him.
00:30:18Oh well.
00:30:19You can't force love.
00:30:22Let's go.
00:30:24Hello.
00:30:28Can you handle that?
00:30:30Let me do it.
00:30:31Honey.
00:30:32I'm fine.
00:30:32See, I've got it.
00:30:34That's way too heavy.
00:30:36It's okay.
00:30:36Let's go.
00:30:38Let me get that.
00:30:39I've got it.
00:30:40Mom, let's go.
00:30:52Honey.
00:30:54She.
00:30:55This.
00:30:56What's going on?
00:30:57All this stuff.
00:30:58She carried it all back herself without a single complaint.
00:31:02You think maybe she's having second thoughts and doesn't want to divorce?
00:31:07If that's true, should they still go through with it?
00:31:11That's not for you or me to worry about.
00:31:13It's between them.
00:31:14Let them figure it out.
00:31:19Whoa.
00:31:20This is heavy.
00:31:23When did our attitude towards Sophia change so much?
00:31:28Before, we were practically begging for Sophia to divorce him and leave our family alone.
00:31:37Sophia, are you okay?
00:31:41Mom.
00:31:42I feel a little dizzy.
00:31:44And a bit nauseous.
00:31:46Then it must be heat stroke.
00:31:48Here, lie down quickly.
00:31:49Wait.
00:31:50I only walked in the sun for 10 minutes.
00:31:52She's that fragile.
00:31:54Dear, go get that herbal heat stroke remedy.
00:31:58Sophia looks like she has heat stroke.
00:32:00What?
00:32:00Heat stroke?
00:32:01Coming.
00:32:02Coming.
00:32:04Here's some water.
00:32:05Make her drink it.
00:32:06Quick.
00:32:07Okay.
00:32:07Here, Sophia.
00:32:09Drink some water.
00:32:14Where did you put it?
00:32:15I don't see it in here.
00:32:17No?
00:32:18No.
00:32:19Then I'll call Liam.
00:32:21Then call him.
00:32:22Hurry.
00:32:29Excuse me.
00:32:30I need to take this.
00:32:32Hello, Mom.
00:32:33What's up?
00:32:34Liam.
00:32:35Hey.
00:32:36Where did you put the herbal heat stroke remedy?
00:32:38The herbal heat stroke?
00:32:40Uh, it's...
00:32:41It's in the cabinet next to the TV.
00:32:43There's a small first aid kit inside.
00:32:44Do you see it?
00:32:45By the way, who has heat stroke?
00:32:48It's Sophia.
00:32:49She has heat stroke.
00:32:51Gotta go.
00:32:52I need to find that medicine.
00:32:55Hello?
00:32:55Hello?
00:32:56Hello?
00:33:03Sophia, drink this.
00:33:05Drink this.
00:33:06You'll feel better.
00:33:12Here, give it to me.
00:33:15Thanks, Mom.
00:33:17Ever since my parents passed away,
00:33:19it's been so long
00:33:20since an elder last showed me such care.
00:33:31How come you're home on time today
00:33:33for dinner?
00:33:40Come on, everyone.
00:33:41Dinner's ready.
00:33:42I'll go get Sophia.
00:33:44All right, all right, all right.
00:34:12I really hate waking up at dusk.
00:34:16Like the whole world has abandoned you.
00:34:24Sophia, are you feeling better?
00:34:26Dinner's ready.
00:34:29Mom.
00:34:31I'm coming.
00:34:34Mom.
00:34:35This is the first time she's called me Mom.
00:34:39After all,
00:34:40she's just a poor child who lost her mother.
00:34:42So young.
00:34:43Come on out and eat.
00:34:45If you're not feeling well now,
00:34:47I can fix you something else.
00:34:51Mom.
00:35:01I made you your favorite,
00:35:03braised pork ribs.
00:35:08Liam, why are you home so early?
00:35:11He rarely comes home for dinner.
00:35:15You slept till now
00:35:17and have the nerve to make my mom
00:35:19fetch you for dinner?
00:35:20Should we personally
00:35:21serve you your meal
00:35:22and say,
00:35:23Your Highness,
00:35:24dinner is served?
00:35:26He really is the male lead.
00:35:28He's just so gorgeous.
00:35:29Not becoming a male model
00:35:30is such a waste.
00:35:35What are you staring at?
00:35:37I'm looking at the dishes.
00:35:39Um,
00:35:40these ribs look amazing.
00:35:42Seriously amazing.
00:35:43Let me warn you.
00:35:45You can't have your cake
00:35:46and eat it too.
00:35:47You're divorcing my brother,
00:35:49so stop scheming about him.
00:35:51Mom,
00:35:51the ribs you made
00:35:52look good enough to eat.
00:35:54That's why I couldn't help
00:35:55but take another look.
00:35:57Good enough to eat?
00:35:58Is that how you use that phrase?
00:36:01Is she saying my brother
00:36:02is good enough to eat
00:36:03or that in her eyes
00:36:05he's just a dish?
00:36:31So delicious.
00:36:38Mom and Dad,
00:36:39there's just a few ribs left.
00:36:41You two better eat up.
00:36:42Quick,
00:36:43otherwise,
00:36:43they'll be gone in a minute.
00:36:49Ugh,
00:36:50so bitter.
00:36:50Just as bitter as this melon.
00:36:53Serves you right.
00:36:54Should have made your move sooner.
00:36:58That little rivalry
00:36:59going on between you three.
00:37:00You think we haven't noticed?
00:37:03Here,
00:37:03you have them.
00:37:04No,
00:37:05you guys eat it.
00:37:05I'm worried about my cholesterol.
00:37:08Well,
00:37:08looks like,
00:37:09I guess I didn't make enough
00:37:11of ribs today.
00:37:12Next time I'll make more.
00:37:14I'll make sure
00:37:15each of you gets a whole bowl.
00:37:17What's happening to me?
00:37:19Why can't I help but
00:37:20want to tease Sophia on purpose?
00:37:22Liam,
00:37:23since Mom and Dad
00:37:25aren't eating them,
00:37:26how about we?
00:37:26I heard you got heat stroke today.
00:37:32Is he asking me?
00:37:34Sophia got heat stroke?
00:37:36No.
00:37:37My brother
00:37:38is actually worried
00:37:39about that witch.
00:37:42But I'm fine now.
00:37:45Sophia went with me today
00:37:46to the supermarket.
00:37:47On the way back,
00:37:49the sun was blazing.
00:37:50That's why she got heat stroke.
00:37:53She got heat stroke
00:37:54just from going
00:37:54to the supermarket?
00:37:56The supermarket's
00:37:57just a 10 minute walk
00:37:58from our house
00:37:59and she
00:38:00is never without
00:38:01her umbrella.
00:38:02She never lets herself suffer
00:38:03for such a short distance.
00:38:05You still managed
00:38:06to get heat stroke?
00:38:07She's way too fragile.
00:38:10Watch your tone.
00:38:11Sophia was carrying
00:38:12very heavy things today.
00:38:14She walked all the way
00:38:15back in the scorching sun.
00:38:16That's why she got heat stroke.
00:38:18Exactly.
00:38:19Your mom went
00:38:20to the supermarket today
00:38:21and bought several
00:38:21huge bags of things.
00:38:23She carried all
00:38:23the heavy ones,
00:38:24just carrying them back
00:38:25was hard enough.
00:38:26Not to mention,
00:38:27she's just a girl.
00:38:28I must have woken up
00:38:29too fast.
00:38:30My own parents
00:38:31are actually
00:38:32sticking up
00:38:33for that scumbag.
00:38:34Sophia?
00:38:35Sophia, dear,
00:38:37you worked hard today.
00:38:38Here,
00:38:39have some more.
00:38:40Thanks, mom.
00:38:41Here, more,
00:38:42have some more.
00:38:43You love these pork ribs.
00:38:44How could they forget
00:38:45how arrogant
00:38:46she used to be?
00:38:47How she looked down
00:38:48on us
00:38:49and how she cheated
00:38:50on my brother?
00:38:51How could they be
00:38:52won over
00:38:52and switch sides
00:38:53so quickly?
00:38:58But for her to
00:38:59help carry
00:38:59the heavy bags,
00:39:01that really is
00:39:02unexpected.
00:39:04Oh, mom,
00:39:05I'll get it.
00:39:07Ah,
00:39:07but you're not
00:39:08feeling well.
00:39:09Let me do it.
00:39:10Ah,
00:39:10it's really fine.
00:39:11Look,
00:39:12I've already had
00:39:12three bowls of rice.
00:39:13It'll help me digest.
00:39:18Can a person
00:39:19really change
00:39:20so much
00:39:20in such a short time?
00:39:33You'd only see
00:39:34this in our house.
00:39:35A mother-in-law
00:39:35and daughter-in-law
00:39:36fighting over
00:39:37who gets to
00:39:38wash the dishes.
00:39:40Oh, my.
00:39:41Our Chloe
00:39:41has never set foot
00:39:43in the kitchen,
00:39:43never washed
00:39:44a single dish.
00:39:45And our Liam,
00:39:46when has he ever
00:39:46been in the kitchen?
00:39:47When has he ever
00:39:48washed a dish?
00:39:50It's high time
00:39:52these two
00:39:52learned a thing
00:39:54or two.
00:39:55It's partly
00:39:56our fault.
00:39:57We were so
00:39:58busy back then.
00:39:59We didn't have
00:40:00time for them.
00:40:02We never taught
00:40:03them how to do
00:40:03chores.
00:40:04Ha ha ha.
00:40:05Mom,
00:40:06Dad.
00:40:09Here,
00:40:10dry your hands.
00:40:11Okay.
00:40:11Your health
00:40:12is just too poor.
00:40:13Why don't you
00:40:15come for a walk
00:40:16with us?
00:40:17Get some exercise.
00:40:18By the lake,
00:40:20every evening,
00:40:21people are out
00:40:21walking or biking.
00:40:22The scenery's great
00:40:23and the air
00:40:24is even better.
00:40:25You really
00:40:25should get out
00:40:26more.
00:40:27All right.
00:40:28I'm in terrible shape.
00:40:29I should get
00:40:30some proper exercise.
00:40:32Let's go.
00:40:33Yes,
00:40:33yes,
00:40:34of course.
00:40:35Ha ha.
00:40:36Let's go.
00:40:40The weather
00:40:41is so lovely
00:40:42today.
00:40:43Ha ha ha.
00:40:43If I'd known
00:40:44the scenery
00:40:44and air here
00:40:45were this good,
00:40:46we should have
00:40:46come yesterday.
00:40:47Right?
00:40:48From now on,
00:40:49you should come
00:40:50out for walks
00:40:50with us more
00:40:51often.
00:40:51Sure,
00:40:52Mom and Dad.
00:40:53If you're free
00:40:54in the future,
00:40:54I'll often come
00:40:55for walks with you.
00:40:56Great.
00:40:57But I won't be able
00:40:58to keep them company
00:40:59for much longer.
00:41:00Once I get my
00:41:00manuscript fee,
00:41:01I'll look for a place
00:41:02and move out.
00:41:03Hmm,
00:41:04I'm really going
00:41:05to miss this.
00:41:06Oh,
00:41:06Mrs. Liu,
00:41:07you're here too?
00:41:08Yes,
00:41:09yes,
00:41:10just taking a walk.
00:41:11This must be
00:41:11your daughter-in-law,
00:41:12right?
00:41:13Yes.
00:41:15Hey,
00:41:16is this your grandson?
00:41:18He must be
00:41:19four months old now,
00:41:20right?
00:41:20That's right,
00:41:21he's four months old now.
00:41:22Look how chubby
00:41:23and fair he is.
00:41:24So adorable.
00:41:25You two are retired now
00:41:27with nothing to do.
00:41:28Why not?
00:41:29Get the young couple
00:41:30to have a baby sooner
00:41:31so you can look after it?
00:41:33Exactly,
00:41:33just like us.
00:41:34Spending every day
00:41:35with our grandson
00:41:36makes life much less boring.
00:41:39A grandson?
00:41:41Our son is about
00:41:42to get divorced.
00:41:47Um,
00:41:48Mom and Dad,
00:41:49I'm going to go
00:41:49for a bike ride.
00:41:50Go ahead,
00:41:51have fun.
00:41:51Go ahead,
00:41:52dear.
00:41:53I'm off now.
00:41:54Be careful,
00:41:55okay?
00:41:56Your daughter-in-law
00:41:56is always so polite.
00:41:58Let's walk and talk.
00:42:00Sure thing.
00:42:07Die-in-law
00:42:16is always so poor.
00:42:18You will not know
00:42:20what he really mares
00:42:20in your life.
00:42:21We are just happy
00:42:21and looks like we have
00:42:24Go ahead,
00:42:28I feel like you're
00:42:31something we've a baby Ditko
00:42:39Hi, Mom and Dad.
00:42:41Sophia, where are you?
00:42:42You guys go on ahead.
00:42:44Don't wait for me.
00:42:45Alright.
00:43:18Mom and Dad.
00:43:20Why aren't you two back yet, Sophia?
00:43:24We've been waiting here for you, worried you might not be safe alone.
00:43:28But I live just nearby.
00:43:29It's perfectly safe.
00:43:31But they still thought of me.
00:43:32How in the world could my in-laws be so wonderful?
00:43:37Let's go home.
00:43:38Okay.
00:43:39Let's go home.
00:43:41I feel better now that I've seen you.
00:43:56Oh, right.
00:43:58Mom, Dad, don't forget.
00:43:59You have your checkup tomorrow.
00:44:00Oh, we know.
00:44:02We'll go first thing in the morning.
00:44:04Alright.
00:44:05Oh, my.
00:44:06She's really grown up.
00:44:17Hey, Mom, have you gotten to the hospital yet?
00:44:20We're almost there.
00:44:21Breakfast is on the table.
00:44:23Help yourselves.
00:44:24Okay, got it.
00:44:25Drive safe.
00:44:26Okay, call me if anything happens.
00:44:33About that phone call I just made.
00:44:35He heard the whole thing.
00:44:38Isn't he going to work today?
00:44:41Wow, these soup dumplings are amazing.
00:44:44The wrapper is thin, the filling is juicy, and it's actually filled with crab roe.
00:44:48So fancy.
00:44:49I'm digging in.
00:44:50I'm digging in.
00:45:08The steamed dumplings are pretty good, too.
00:45:10Just not as amazing as those crab roe ones.
00:45:13You don't like the soup dumplings?
00:45:14You like the steamed dumplings better.
00:45:19Want to trade?
00:45:20Mine's untouched.
00:45:21Okay, I touched it.
00:45:22Just a little.
00:45:24Want to swap?
00:45:31You don't have to.
00:45:32But, where'd you get these buns?
00:45:35The Jade Pavilion, of course.
00:45:38Aren't these the buns you specifically asked for?
00:45:40You forgot.
00:45:42I...
00:45:44Remember when my mom asked what you wanted to eat?
00:45:47You specifically asked for the Jade Pavilions, crab rose soup dumplings, and insisted they
00:45:51had to be served hot.
00:45:53You really know how to treat yourself.
00:45:55These things sell out fast.
00:45:57The line's at least half an hour long.
00:45:59And from my place, it's a good 20 minutes.
00:46:06That sounds familiar.
00:46:08Well, if you want those buns, mom will get them for you next time I have a chance.
00:46:12Never mind.
00:46:13Forget it.
00:46:14You ask, but then you won't get them.
00:46:16So annoying.
00:46:41I don't care for them.
00:46:42If you like them, go ahead.
00:46:44If you like them, go ahead.
00:46:47How come I didn't know about this?
00:46:49Liam doesn't like steamed buns.
00:46:51Thanks.
00:46:55Liam, aren't you going to work today?
00:46:58I just finished a project, so I'm taking a few days off.
00:47:05Mom and dad aren't home.
00:47:06I'm heading to the company soon, too.
00:47:08That leaves just the two of them at home.
00:47:10Just a man and a woman, all alone.
00:47:12Will Sophia Song try to seduce Liam while she has the chance?
00:47:15Have you found a place yet?
00:47:17So you won't be left with nowhere to go.
00:47:19Not yet.
00:47:20Why don't you go today?
00:47:22Near my office, there are quite a few affordable apartments.
00:47:25I can drive you there.
00:47:27It's on my way anyway.
00:47:31Don't you dare mistake my kindness for something else.
00:47:33I'm trying to help you.
00:47:37You're afraid of me being alone with Liam, aren't you?
00:47:41You're afraid that since we're a man and a woman alone together, something might happen.
00:47:46You're afraid I'll seduce him, right?
00:47:48Yes, I am wary of you.
00:47:49After all, you've been acting so strange these past few days.
00:47:52I'm worried you're deliberately clinging to Liam, because you don't want to divorce him.
00:47:56I won't give you that chance.
00:47:58And you're not worthy of being my sister-in-law.
00:48:02Chloe, if I can actually seduce Liam, then I'm fit to be your sister-in-law.
00:48:06Because that's his choice.
00:48:07And there's nothing you can do about it.
00:48:09If I can seduce Liam, it means he doesn't give a damn about my past.
00:48:13Your opinion is worthless.
00:48:15You've got a point.
00:48:17It's my brother's attitude that matters.
00:48:19What I need is to figure out where he stands.
00:48:36Sophia Song.
00:48:37Usually, it's mom and dad who cook for you.
00:48:39This time, it's your turn to pitch in.
00:48:41Go for it.
00:48:42First, make some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
00:48:45Then, a beef stew with potatoes.
00:48:47And finally, steamed pumpkin with jujubes.
00:48:49Let's also stir-fry some leafy greens.
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:53Okay.
00:49:07Coming.
00:49:08Coming.
00:49:20Coming.
00:49:32Is this the female lead from the book?
00:49:42So this is Liam's wife, huh?
00:49:46Are you the maid here?
00:49:48Hi, I'm the neighbor next door.
00:49:49Hi, I'm the neighbor next door.
00:49:51Just got back from out of town.
00:49:52I came specifically to visit Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu.
00:49:56TSK, so it's that female supporting character, Julia.
00:49:59Sorry, they're not home.
00:50:00You'll have to come back another time.
00:50:03Hey.
00:50:04Then Liam must be home, right?
00:50:06I saw his car in the yard.
00:50:08Talking to him is just as good.
00:50:12Liam and I grew up together.
00:50:13We're very close.
00:50:15It's been a while, so I brought him some gifts.
00:50:18So this female supporting character figured out who I am,
00:50:21coming right out and provoking me.
00:50:26Hey, we've got a guest.
00:50:27A girl says she's very close to you.
00:50:30You'd better come down and entertain her.
00:50:38Liam, long time no see.
00:50:41Oh.
00:50:42I brought you a gift.
00:50:43And some for Mr. and Mrs. Liu.
00:50:45And for Chloe.
00:50:46They're all local specialties from Bayside City.
00:50:49I hope you like them.
00:50:52You didn't change your shoes.
00:50:55Oh, sorry.
00:51:03Liam.
00:51:06Is she cooking?
00:51:27She can cook.
00:51:29It smells amazing, Liam.
00:51:31Your maid is quite the cook.
00:51:35Maid?
00:51:36Yeah.
00:51:37She opened the door for me earlier.
00:51:38I asked if she was the maid.
00:51:40And she admitted it.
00:51:42Isn't she?
00:51:43She.
00:51:44She couldn't be your wife, could she?
00:51:50The neighbor's little sister, who would hire a maid, who's so young and pretty.
00:51:55Aren't they afraid that when the lady of the house is away, the maid will seduce her husband?
00:51:59She actually insinuated I'm trying to seduce someone else's husband.
00:52:03Sophia, you can't blame me.
00:52:05I asked you earlier if you were.
00:52:07And you didn't deny it.
00:52:08So I assumed you were.
00:52:11I was just trying to spare you the guilt and embarrassment.
00:52:14I didn't want you to think I was blaming you for your poor eyesight.
00:52:17I didn't expect you to actually take it seriously.
00:52:19But it's okay.
00:52:20I won't hold it against you.
00:52:23This woman sounds polite.
00:52:24But she's actually mocking me through and through.
00:52:27Liam, I'm so sorry.
00:52:29I really didn't mean it.
00:52:31Sophia won't be mad at me, will she?
00:52:33Didn't she just say she doesn't mind?
00:52:35Did she sound like she didn't mind?
00:52:37She's clearly holding a grudge.
00:52:39That's why she said that.
00:52:40But I was the one who made the mistake.
00:52:43Sophia might not show it.
00:52:44But she's definitely still upset with me inside.
00:52:47I should still apologize to her.
00:52:49To save face, Liam will definitely stop me.
00:52:52From apologizing.
00:52:53And even comfort me a little.
00:52:55That way, Sophia's song will definitely feel wronged.
00:53:00Maybe I should go apologize to your wife.
00:53:03Go ahead.
00:53:05What?
00:53:06Over such a tiny thing.
00:53:08He actually expects me to apologize?
00:53:10Fine, whatever you say.
00:53:11I'll go apologize to her right now.
00:53:23Sophia, my apologies.
00:53:25I accidentally misunderstood you.
00:53:27You're not upset, are you?
00:53:30Oops.
00:53:33Oops, my bad.
00:53:34Got a little on you by accident.
00:53:36You don't mind, do you?
00:53:38But what are you doing here?
00:53:40She clearly heard me apologize loud and clear.
00:53:42She's just trying to humiliate me.
00:53:45I came to apologize.
00:53:46You heard me, didn't you?
00:53:48Sophia, if you don't want to forgive me, just say so.
00:53:50We're both just female supporting characters here.
00:53:53But your tactics aren't exactly top tier.
00:53:55All right, all right.
00:53:56You should leave now.
00:53:57Don't interrupt my cooking.
00:54:00But it's nice that you don't work, Sophia.
00:54:03Staying home to cook suits you.
00:54:04Mr. and Mrs. Liu hate having outsiders around.
00:54:07They don't like hiring mates.
00:54:09With you handling all these chores, it'll be a big help to the family.
00:54:12Exactly.
00:54:13You're absolutely right.
00:54:15Our whole family hates having outsiders around.
00:54:17So, neighbor, we're about to have dinner.
00:54:20Didn't make an extra plate for an outsider.
00:54:22If you're hungry, go home and have your mom cook for you.
00:54:25Eat up and grow up nice and strong.
00:54:27I'm not an outsider.
00:54:29Liam and I grew up together.
00:54:31In front of my wife.
00:54:36What are you implying?
00:54:40In front of my wife.
00:54:41What do you want to say?
00:54:43Liam, I just wanted to say, we're childhood sweethearts.
00:54:47We're practically family.
00:54:48I'm not some outsider.
00:54:50You're just a neighbor.
00:54:52Besides, talking like that in front of my wife.
00:54:55Aren't you worried she'll get the wrong idea?
00:54:57Look, there are no feelings between us.
00:55:00In my eyes.
00:55:02You're just an ordinary neighbor.
00:55:04Got it?
00:55:05Watch what you say next time.
00:55:07Liam, how could you say that to me?
00:55:10This isn't like you.
00:55:13You've really hurt my feelings.
00:55:18Well done.
00:55:19What a good man.
00:55:20Keep it up.
00:55:21Her.
00:55:22You.
00:55:23Ugh.
00:55:23Don't worry.
00:55:24I get it.
00:55:24What you said back there was definitely not to defend me.
00:55:27You just couldn't stand that woman's behavior.
00:55:29Yeah, but, but.
00:55:30Hey, you don't need to explain.
00:55:32I won't read too much into it.
00:55:34Don't worry.
00:55:35I was going to say, there's nothing between Julia and me.
00:55:38Even though we're getting divorced.
00:55:41But I haven't done anything to wrong her.
00:55:49Cooking, huh?
00:55:51Yeah, can't you tell?
00:55:54Hey.
00:55:55I got this.
00:55:57You head out.
00:55:58Leave the rest to me.
00:55:59You know how to cook.
00:56:01Sure do.
00:56:03Pour the veggies in.
00:56:04Just fry them till they're done, right?
00:56:06Uh-huh.
00:56:06Now add some salt.
00:56:08Ah.
00:56:08Ahm humm.
00:56:09You do it.
00:56:21Not bad at all.
00:56:22So, next up, we'll make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
00:56:27Well, as an adult in our country, you should know how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
00:56:33I do.
00:56:39Do I put the tomatoes or the eggs in first?
00:56:42You've got to be kidding me.
00:56:43I can't believe someone actually asked me whether to put the tomatoes or the eggs in first.
00:56:48Do I put the tomatoes or the eggs in first?
00:56:50Oh, for goodness sake.
00:56:52All right, all right.
00:56:54I'll show you.
00:56:55Watch closely.
00:56:56This is my specialty.
00:56:57Put the tomatoes in the pan, slowly.
00:57:08She really has changed a lot.
00:57:10So much that she seems like a different person.
00:57:15Watch closely.
00:57:16I have to watch her closely.
00:57:18Just like this, like this, like this.
00:57:40Jeez, all you think about is eating.
00:57:42You know you have high blood sugar.
00:57:44I had no idea you could cook.
00:57:46I've never seen you do it before.
00:57:47Hmm.
00:57:48There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:57:53Well, you never told me.
00:57:55Oh, Mom and Dad, you're back.
00:57:57You must be starving.
00:57:58Come on, let's eat.
00:57:59Come on, come on.
00:58:01Coming, coming, coming.
00:58:03Did they make all this?
00:58:05Wow.
00:58:06You made all this?
00:58:08Well, yeah, but Liam stir-fried this dish.
00:58:12Liam made this?
00:58:13But you never cook.
00:58:15Oh, my.
00:58:16Not bad.
00:58:18You two did great today.
00:58:19You both learned to cook.
00:58:21Ha, ha, ha.
00:58:21Let's eat.
00:58:22Okay.
00:58:23You're pretty good, kid.
00:58:27Okay.
00:58:35It actually tastes really good.
00:58:48Oh, it's good.
00:58:50Just a bit bland.
00:58:52A little bland.
00:58:53Mom, you eat.
00:58:58It really is bland.
00:59:05It's good.
00:59:08Let me try.
00:59:11Since it's so badly made, she'll probably spit it out.
00:59:17The flavor is pretty good.
00:59:18It's just a little bland.
00:59:20But this is your first time cooking, yet it's already this delicious.
00:59:23That's really impressive.
00:59:26What you made is delicious, too.
00:59:29Really?
00:59:31Hey, try this juju.
00:59:34Their relationship.
00:59:36When did it become so harmonious?
00:59:46If you two had gotten along this well earlier.
00:59:49You never would have ended up divorced.
00:59:51So you gave me the dish with no salt in it?
00:59:53Oh, you really?
00:59:55Here, have more of this then.
00:59:57I like scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
01:00:01I'll clear the table.
01:00:03Let me do it.
01:00:04You did all the cooking today.
01:00:06Let Liam wash the dishes.
01:00:10Exactly.
01:00:11Liam's never even stepped into the kitchen.
01:00:13You can't just focus on work.
01:00:14You got a kitchen with the housework, too.
01:00:16Here you go.
01:00:18Come on, put it on.
01:00:24Mom, your bracelet is so pretty.
01:00:26Where did you buy it?
01:00:27I got it in a southern province when I was traveling.
01:00:30Look, it even has.
01:00:32Oh, right.
01:00:34Did the test results come back?
01:00:38The results came back fine.
01:00:41Just my blood sugar's a bit high.
01:00:43But it's nothing serious.
01:00:44See?
01:00:49Dad, your blood sugar is really too high.
01:00:52For adults, fasting blood sugar.
01:00:54The normal range is between 70 and 110.
01:00:57Yesterday, Sophia told me to get checked.
01:01:00I was so confident there was nothing wrong.
01:01:02Can you believe it?
01:01:03And now I've been proven wrong.
01:01:05Dad.
01:01:07I'm afraid no more sweets from now on.
01:01:09And no sugary drinks either.
01:01:11And only one bowl of rice per meal for you.
01:01:13And another thing.
01:01:14You need to keep up with your exercise routine.
01:01:16Keep it up for a month.
01:01:17Then we'll see how your sugar control is doing.
01:01:19As long as you control it well, your blood sugar will definitely come down.
01:01:25If I can't have any sweets, what's the point of living?
01:01:29You.
01:01:32Once our son sets his mind on something, no one can change it.
01:01:38Sit down.
01:01:47Ah, well, anyway, I guess I really can't have cupcakes anymore.
01:02:01Oh my.
01:02:03Good thing Sophia reminded your dad yesterday to go get a checkup.
01:02:06If he kept this up, it would have been too late once something happened.
01:02:11I was just giving a little reminder.
01:02:13That's all.
01:02:14Absolutely no more of this.
01:02:16Oh dear.
01:02:17These are macarons.
01:02:18Cake.
01:02:19Oh.
01:02:20Chocolate.
01:02:23Oh boy.
01:02:26None of this is okay.
01:02:28Oh.
01:02:29But this.
01:02:30This.
01:02:30Wait a minute.
01:02:35You want to throw everything away?
01:02:37Look closely.
01:02:38These are hawthorn berries.
01:02:39They're not dessert.
01:02:41They're an appetizer.
01:02:51Oh no.
01:02:52I accidentally laughed at dad's expense.
01:02:54And I laughed out loud.
01:02:57Dad, if you really want something sweet, maybe have some fruit instead.
01:03:01Oh, right.
01:03:02But sweet fruit is off limits too.
01:03:05You can only have things like apples, tomatoes, or cucumbers.
01:03:13Three bowls.
01:03:15Stop laughing.
01:03:16Who?
01:03:18This is the first time I've ever seen Liam smile.
01:03:21It's just so.
01:03:23So gentle.
01:03:25So heart fluttering.
01:03:27He's a menace.
01:03:31Liam.
01:03:32Take all these and throw them away.
01:03:34Oh, mom.
01:03:35It's such a waste to throw these away.
01:03:37Let me have them.
01:03:38I love cupcakes too.
01:03:40I love cupcakes too.
01:03:49Oh, I remember we have a mini fridge at home.
01:03:52We can put these cupcakes in there for you, so you can enjoy them slowly, without worrying
01:03:57about them going bad.
01:03:58Sounds great.
01:04:00Liam.
01:04:01Yeah?
01:04:01Find that mini fridge, and move it to Sophia's room.
01:04:04Huh.
01:04:06Okay.
01:04:11You still want to eat these?
01:04:30As expected, the most attractive thing about a man, is his ability to solve problems.
01:04:40This fridge is acting up.
01:04:42If you hear it later, making weird noises, just unplug it.
01:04:46Just to be safe.
01:04:48Got it?
01:04:51Oh, have some cake.
01:04:56Oh, no, but I already took a bite.
01:05:01No, thanks.
01:05:06You're welcome.
01:05:08You silly goose.
01:05:10Why are you so hopeless?
01:05:11Your brain short circuits around handsome guys.
01:05:14You're so embarrassing.
01:05:15A handsome guy isn't delicious food.
01:05:17You can't eat him.
01:05:18A handsome guy isn't money.
01:05:19You can't spend him.
01:05:20A handsome guy is just a man.
01:05:22And a man is just a person.
01:05:23A person is just a carbon-based life form.
01:05:26The essence of a carbon-based life form, is chemistry and biology.
01:05:29The essence of chemistry and biology, is molecules and atoms.
01:05:32So, a handsome guy is just a bunch of molecules and atoms.
01:05:35Do you understand?
01:05:36Do you understand?
01:05:36Yes, I do.
01:05:48hey Liam what's so funny was I smiling yes you were and you looked absolutely
