You can have the company cuz——-I’ve got the girl😁

This episode shows Lin and XiGuang doing their parts to bring the company up to next level with technology. All the people Lin met on his desert trip will be instrumental to a successful joint venture sharing patents and increasing tech. By getting in on the ground floor it will be more research and development than over the top costs. They can share their findings and jointly create a new improved product for the market. XiGuang’s plans are going well, but finding subcontractors at reasonable rates hasn’t been going as well. Whether it’s because they are young or because she’s female there is definite price gouging on key materials. I like that Lin encourages her. He shows her that recognizing the need to keep looking for a better price is a big step in the right direction. Their exchange of resumes.😂🤣 She has no clue he saw her resume when Xu turned it in. I love that he’s already aware of her favorites for meals. He is showing her in print his potential as bf and implying some areas have never been explored yet.😂🥰 Jie’s teasing looks when she’s on the phone.🤣😂 The meal with the besties. I wish we could have seen more. I am so glad her auntie called and shared the tea about banquet invite. XiGuang knows he has plans Sunday morning but chooses to surprise him at the banquet. Her uncle is more than happy to both introduce her and warn her about who to get to know …and not. Gossip is already floating around the room about her because she made deliberate effort to stay clear of her father in social outings. It is pure serendipity he isn’t here with his Sheng cronies. So….the other grandson Rong likes to brag about. He seems her perfect match in public meanness.😝 He deliberately cuts Lin off in a ‘friendly’ toast and further insults by changing glasses.😝 Her uncle’s friend speculates that the grandson on stairs will be the heir and the handsome grandson across the room will be the one always second. XiGuang knows that had there been no accident to finish his surgeon career, he would be second to none. Her uncle encourages her to go solo and she strides across the room and calls him by name. He is surprised and pleased and is more than proud to introduce his gf to Gpa. I just loved the pouty face of the arrogant cousin who is exactly like his plotting mother. XiGuang’s uncle made it clear what he thought of him.🤣😂 As our power couple walk through, uncle is happily recording the event and the room looks like holding them court and making way. I love that she made him shine❤️ They head out for a breath of fresh air as the episode ends.😍🥰

Defending my man — confidence, belonging, and quiet strength

Episode 26 had me fully in my feelings. Watching the FL swoop in to defend the ML at his grandfather’s birthday banquet was such a powerful moment — especially with certain people in the background looking far too smug, convinced they’ve already secured the position of heir. I’m very much waiting for the grandfather’s plans and inevitable plot twist to unfold.

What makes this episode especially lovely is how warmly the FL’s friends and family welcome the ML. There’s an immediate sense of belonging, and it contrasts beautifully with the cold ambition on display elsewhere. We also see the ML’s quiet, thoughtful support of the FL as she faces challenges with her project. He doesn’t dictate or control; instead, he uses humour to gently open her eyes to other possibilities, giving her space to form her own opinions. She’s truly blooming under his influence.

My only real frustration is how often the FL is reduced to being “someone’s daughter,” as if she has no substance of her own. If this is how her mother was treated, it’s no wonder that marriage ended the way it did. This episode makes it clear that the FL deserves — and is finally claiming — recognition on her own terms.

It feels like the banquet scene is setting up a reversal of expectations, where integrity and chosen partnerships will matter more to the grandfather than bloodline or loud ambition.
