Episode 28 recap: Tang Yang and Jiang Shi Yan's Parents Discover Their Secret
In Episode 28, as night falls, Zhou Mo sits at home, gently flipping through a cherished poetry collection containing handwritten notes from Shan Shan. Each line evokes warm memories of their time together, filling him with nostalgia. Fate seems to have a cruel sense of humor—why must it take away the one he loves so dearly? Shan Shan, his college classmate, was not only academically excellent but also worked part-time as a supermarket cashier. It was during one of those casual transactions that their worlds quietly intertwined.
They bonded over literature, sharing their love for poets and discovering a deep connection that led to joyful conversations.
Meanwhile, Song Jing is reviewing data from Jiang Shi Yan's company and notices something unusual that prompts him to investigate further. Feng Wei Ran initially suspects that Song Jing's motives stem from personal grievances, but Jiang Shi Yan, knowing Song Jing's professionalism, trusts him to pursue the unresolved accounts.
Ever since the public announcement of Tang Yang and Jiang Shi Yan's relationship, Feng Wei Ran has joined the ranks of those pushing for marriage. She believes that since they have known each other for years and have now established a relationship, they should consider tying the knot sooner rather than later, especially since Tang Yang is widely regarded as the campus beauty—a catch indeed.
This conversation sparks something in Jiang Shi Yan, who begins to quietly plan a proposal. Meanwhile, Tang Yang is busy with Zhou Mo's business project and discovers that their partner has been repeatedly delaying payments, raising her suspicions. As she reviews old files, a familiar name—Shan Shan—jumps out at her.
It turns out Shan Shan was once involved in Zhou Mo's project investigation but mysteriously left her position, leaving Tang Yang puzzled.
As the weekend approaches, Jiang Shi Yan is away on a business trip, and Tang Yang returns home, hoping for some peace. However, her mother has arranged a blind date for her. Reluctantly, she turns to Jiang Shi Yan for help, and after discussing it, they decide to come clean to their parents.
At first, Tang's mother thinks her daughter's claims are just an excuse to avoid the blind date. But when Tang Yang stands firm, her mother reluctantly believes her story.
After completing his work, Song Jing suggests going out for a meal and privately asks if he can invite Tang Yang. Given their relationship, Feng Wei Ran proceeds cautiously and first consults Jiang Shi Yan. Showing maturity, Jiang Shi Yan believes in mutual trust and respects their decisions, encouraging Feng Wei Ran to invite Tang Yang.
At the dinner table, Song Jing sincerely apologizes to Tang Yang, explaining that he had neglected her feelings in pursuit of his own goals. Tang Yang asserts that past misunderstandings have blown over and that she now has her own priorities. After their honest exchange, both feel a weight lifted from their shoulders.
When Jiang Shi Yan returns from his trip, he disregards the exhaustion from the time difference and rushes to bring Tang Yang breakfast, his affection touching her deeply. The two share playful moments at home, but their joyful scene is unexpectedly interrupted by the arrival of their mothers, leading to an awkward moment.
Though surprised, both mothers find comfort in knowing that their children have known each other since childhood. Particularly, Jiang's mother harbors a fondness for Tang Yang and is overjoyed at the prospect of their union, feeling that their relationship is destined.
