Episode 16 recap: Song Huai Ning promised to marry Lin Wen Yu.
Lin Wen Yu put on her wedding dress, intending to fulfill her late father's wish. Even if she didn't love Duan Xunchu Rui, she would honor the marriage commitment made by her father. Duan Xunchu Chu was unwilling to accept this. He took the initiative to confess his feelings to Lin Wen Yu and kissed her. Lin Wen Yu reminded him to be mindful of their identities; she was his sister-in-law, and they should at least uphold basic principles of propriety and integrity.
To make up for his indebtedness to Lin Wen Yu over the years, Song Huai Ning proposed to get married as soon as possible, intentionally trying to provoke Duan Xunchu Chu. In the afternoon, Duan Xunchu Chu accompanied his brother to choose a wedding dress. After Lin Wen Yu changed into her wedding dress in the room, Duan Xunchu Chu barged in directly, asking her if she really intended to marry his older brother. Lin Wen Yu felt that regardless of whether she loved Duan Xunchu Rui or not, she had to marry him out of consideration for the promise made in the past.
At that moment, Song Huai Ning came upstairs to ask if Lin Wen Yu had finished changing into her wedding dress. Lin Wen Yu deliberately sent Duan Xunchu Chu away and asked him to leave the room, not wanting to be troubled by him any longer. Duan Xunchu Chu left the room, and Song Huai Ning watched him from the corridor, having already sensed that something was amiss between Lin Wen Yu and Duan Xunchu Chu.
In the following days, Lin Wen Yu deliberately avoided Duan Xunchu Chu. He ate breakfast quickly, hoping that Lin Wen Yu would eat more and not worry about him. In order to ease Duan Xunchu Chu's concerns, Lin Wen Yu asked Bi Tao to find a young woman from a prestigious family who was of similar age to Duan Xunchu Chu, fulfilling Commander Duan's wish.
That evening, Duan Xunchu Chu returned home drunk and blamed Lin Wen Yu for meddling too much. He didn't like those other women at all; he only loved a woman like Lin Wen Yu. Moreover, the verbal engagement between her and Duan Xunchu Rui was just that—a verbal agreement. They hadn't even become formally engaged, so it didn't truly make her his sister-in-law. Lin Wen Yu poured a glass of cold water over his head. Duan Xunchu Chu didn't understand the principles of propriety and integrity; he only knew that he deeply loved Lin Wen Yu.
