Episode 16 recap: Su Li and Wang Wei De Together
In Episode 16, Wang Gang Gang made the bold decision to sell his house and give all his hard-earned savings to Su Li. He even resigned from his job, feeling he couldn't face being in Su Li's company any longer. Concerned for him, Su Li asked what his plans were and if he had found a new job. She worried about how he would pay back the money if he didn't have anything lined up. Wang Gang Gang was left speechless, feeling a mix of emotions.
Seeing his distress, Su Li felt uneasy herself. After a moment of thought, she said, "Gangzi, before you leave, let's hold off on that. I was planning to give you a raise to help you pay this off sooner." Then, jokingly, she added that she would fine him a dinner date to motivate him a bit.
Wang Gang Gang felt a warm rush of gratitude at her words. Meanwhile, Zhang Shu Heng was slowly waking up in the hospital, and Su Li visited him. Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, he expressed his regrets, saying he had realized how reckless he had been, losing not only his marriage but also wrecking his career. Su Li sighed softly, admitting that she too had been struggling lately, feeling a heavy weight in her heart. However, she had decided to let go of the past and hoped that when they met again, they could be like strangers, each living well.
On the other hand, Wang Wei De had been absent from work for several days. Although Su Li didn't mention it, she felt unsettled. Wang Gang Gang informed her that Wang Wei De's resignation process was incomplete because he was sick and couldn't come in to sign. Wang Gang Gang mentioned he needed to work overtime and asked Su Li to make a trip on his behalf.
When Su Li went to Wang Wei De's house, she discovered he wasn't sick at all; he had taken up screenwriting, saying he wanted to improve himself before coming back to Su Li. This revelation left Su Li feeling disappointed, believing Wang Wei De had deceived her.
As the New Year approached, Su Li gave everyone time off, hoping to celebrate together. However, everyone rushed home to reunite with their families, leaving Su Li alone. Watching the fireworks outside, she felt a pang of longing for Wang Wei De but hesitated to reach out. Stepping outside, she found a celebration underway, with couples happily embracing and singing, while she felt isolated.
Summoning her courage, Su Li called Wang Wei De, only to find out he was nearby. Skeptical, she turned around and saw him standing right behind her. In that moment, all her frustrations and longing turned into tears as they embraced tightly.
Shortly after the New Year, Chen Ying Ying was released from prison, and Su Li was waiting for her outside. She handed Chen Ying Ying a letter and a bank card from Zhang Shu Heng, and gifted her a new pair of shoes, hoping she could start fresh and avoid making the same mistakes. After Su Li left, Chen Ying Ying put on the new shoes, her eyes sparkling with hope.
Not long after, Su Li and Wang Gang Gang received an invitation to Zhang Heng and Gu Lan's wedding. The bride mentioned that the groom had been too busy to rehearse the day before. When they took the stage, the groom, filled with love and affection, took the microphone. The wedding was warm and romantic, filling Su Li's heart with beautiful expectations for life ahead.
