Episode 13: Unanswered Questions
Uncle Xia (Ma Weijiang) finds Tang Mingxuan (Hans Zhang) at his office, half joking and half demanding that he should not be overworking his daughter Xia Xueling (Wang Ruizi). Uncle Xia also questions the decision to include Mo Fei’s (Lulu Xu) work on Fashion Daily, since she was not a top finisher in the ‘Chinese Style’ competition. Tang Mingxuan assures him that Xia Xueling will definitely not be mistreated and as the company’s current leader, he has his reasons for the decisions he makes. Before Fang Xiaoyu (Hong Yao) heads to France, he visits Tang Mingxuan one last time, asking if he has any message he wants to tell Mo Fei. Fang Xiaoyu tells him this is what it must feel like to be dumped, how his sister felt. Tang Mingxuan reminds him he should be fully aware of what actually happened.
Mo Fei, looking at the Little Prince doll, thinks of recording a message to ask Tang Mingxuan what he meant at the airport, but decides she isn’t going to send it anyways, so she deletes it. She consults Mi Duoduo (Guo Ziqian) that it is very likely that Tang Mingxuan is really dating Xia Xueling because he has not reached out to her since she left Shanghai. She admits Mi Duoduo that she did like Tang Mingxuan before, but will forget about him.
Tang Mingxuan immediately goes to the Xia residence upon receiving news that Uncle Xia has held onto the funds for the next phase of construction of the embroidery workshop. Uncle Xia explains that the elderly stakeholders have opposing views on it. Tang Mingxuan suggests he can personally explain to each stakeholder as needed and reminds him that they have already invested so much money on the acquisition so if they stop now, everything that has already been done will go to waste.
Fang Xiaoyu arrives in Paris and excitedly tries to find Mo Fei at his alma mater ECSCP but misses her just as she is walking out with a Chinese classmate Meng Jing (Jiang Yanru) that she just met in class. After many rejections, Mo Fei finally secures a part time job as a waitress at a Chinese restaurant. A trio eating there shows off a diamond necklace and when it’s gone missing, they blame Mo Fei who picked up the woman’s bag. Fang Xiaoyu finally spots Mo Fei on the streets in Paris. He brings her to a gallery that he frequents, showing her a few pieces of artwork that have not yet been sold over all these years. He uses them as an analogy that they should design and collaborate on a fashion line of batik or else she is like abandoning a baby.
Lu Zhu (Zhang Tianying) gives Mo Fei’s number in France to Tang Mingxuan. As he is waiting for the rain to stop once again under a pergola in Suzhou, he gives Mo Fei a call. Mo Fei wants to ask him to clarify what he meant at the airport, but she just cannot get the words out. Tang Mingxuan discusses with his father that he should make a trip to France to discuss with SLC’s acquisition, as it is crucial for Mingyuan. Lu Zhu immediately informs Mo Fan (Jerron Wu) of this, who informs Mo Fei of this. Mo Fei scolds Mo Fan for giving away her number in France to everyone.
Episode 13 Remarks: Tang Mingxuan still does not see where the problem lies. Mo Fei is waiting for his affirmation but he continues to be vague, leaving questions unanswered.
