Episode 12 recap: A Hui confessed his feelings to Xia Yuan.
Qiao Bin woke up from a hangover and saw the breakfast prepared by Sophia and the note she left for him. He proactively messaged Sofia, which made her very happy. Qiao Bin knew that Ye Si Qi was happy, so he decided to stop looking for her. As his tourist visa was about to expire and he was preparing to return to his home country, he specifically went to resign from his job.
When Sofia found out that Qiao Bin was leaving, she felt extremely dejected. However, she still prepared a gift for him and accompanied him to the airport. Sofia gathered her courage and kissed Qiao Bin, expressing her love for him. But Qiao Bin couldn't make any promises and still boarded the flight back to his home country.
Ye Si Qi became Wei Xue Song's assistant. She not only didn't know how to cook but also expressed her love for meat when she saw a light dinner. Wei Xue Song immediately took Ye Si Qi out to eat and ordered steak and red wine for her, making Ye Si Qi feel very satisfied and thinking that she had found a good boss.
Uncle Quan sent Xia Yuan to A Hui's restaurant. Seeing the bustling business, both Xia Yuan and Uncle Quan admired A Hui. Hao Wei Lai learned that Xia Yuan went to look for A Hui and believed it was President Xu's idea. He couldn't help but think that President Xu only cared about his son and not about their friendship.
President Xu explained that when his wife was alive, she acted as a lubricant between him and his son, balancing their relationship. Since his wife's death, his relationship with his son had deteriorated. Now that Xia Yuan has appeared, President Xu sees hope and earnestly asks Hao Wei Lai to be more generous and lend Xia Yuan to him for a while, hoping to reconcile their father-son relationship.
Uncle Quan went back to report to President Xu about A Hui's booming restaurant business. This made President Xu very curious about the taste of the dishes and he wanted to try them. However, he didn't want to take a takeaway and hoped that A Hui would personally invite him. Hao Wei Lai thought about his father and took out his phone to comment on his father's old-fashioned WeChat name. He wanted to check up on his father's well-being, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to send that greeting. Little did he know that his father was also thinking about him. With the company's current situation not being good, his father settled for a simple instant noodle dinner.
At night, Ye Si Qi felt a bit hungry and cooked herself a bowl of instant noodles. Wei Xue Song happened to come down to the kitchen and couldn't resist the temptation to have some. However, he lived a healthy lifestyle and was worried that eating late at night would be bad for him.
Ye Si Qi noticed Wei Xue Song's eagerness and openly mentioned that the noodles she cooked were not fried and had added vegetables, making them particularly healthy. She invited Wei Xue Song to try them. To her surprise, while she was pouring a glass of water, Wei Xue Song finished all the noodles in one go, which left Ye Si Qi feeling frustrated. The next day, when she went out with Wei Xue Song, she had a sulky face.
Wei Xue Song realized that Ye Si Qi was angry, so he waved his hand and told her to buy whatever she wanted, and he would pay. Ye Si Qi immediately changed to a smiley face and excitedly rushed to the shelves, buying a bunch of things she loved to eat before leaving. As Ye Si Qi carried the bags of stuff, she complained that Wei Xue Song refused to help, and Wei Xue Song retorted as the boss.
Wei Xue Song asked Ye Si Qi to wait for him for a while. During that time, he bought a stuffed toy and gave it to Ye Si Qi, which made her happy again. Xia Yuan specially cooked a dish for A Hui, which reminded him of his mother. It turned out that the taste of Xia Yuan's dish was the same as the one Wang Huizhen used to make. While eating, A Hui proposed to learn how to cook that dish from Xia Yuan, and Xia Yuan readily agreed.
After dinner, A Hui and Xia Yuan went to visit Wang Huizhen. When A Hui saw the forget-me-nots in front of the grave, he directly threw the flowers away. Xia Yuan didn't know about the conflict between A Hui and President Xu, but she knew that President Xu would send a bouquet of forget-me-nots every day.
A Hui blamed President Xu for not giving flowers when his mother was alive, so he didn't need them now either. He didn't receive love from his father when he needed it, so he didn't need his father now either. Therefore, he didn't want to forgive President Xu. Xia Yuan hoped that A Hui could become a person with a warm heart because only then could he cook dishes with warmth. A Hui followed Xia Yuan's guidance and made Kung Pao Chicken, which he specially brought back for Xia Yuan to taste. It happened to be lunchtime, so Xia Yuan pulled President Xu to taste it together. President Xu tasted the dish made by A Hui himself and felt that everything was beautiful.
Hao Wei Lai saw the scene where A Hui confessed his feelings to Xia Yuan and felt a surge of sourness in his heart. That evening, he discovered that Xia Yuan and A Hui were talking on the phone. Unable to hold back any longer, he expressed that Xia Yuan and A Hui were not suitable for each other, but he didn't have the courage to confess his own feelings. This made Xia Yuan angry, and she directly reminded him to speak honestly.
