00:00:00The story begins with a man who forcefully brings his girlfriend to a famous fame club where all of the richest people of Dongling lounge together.
00:00:08The boy suddenly meets up with a man named Ye Beeming and introduces his girlfriend to him.
00:00:13To this, his girlfriend gets confused and demands for an answer, but the man refuses to listen to her and hands her over to Mr. Beeming,
00:00:21the man lounging in a black suit, smoking peacefully and looking completely stunning.
00:00:26Mr. Beeming thought it was a joke, but was surprised to see that this man was ready to give up his beautiful girlfriend for a few millions.
00:00:33The man pushes the pink-haired girl and she falls on Mr. Beeming's lap, to which he says, enjoy, and leaves the two alone.
00:00:41The girl named Coco requests him to let her go, and that she wasn't the type of girl to seduce anyone,
00:00:47but Mr. Beeming got turned on because of her escaping behavior and wanted her to stay.
00:00:51Not knowing his power, Coco warned him that if he did anything to her, she will sue him.
00:00:57To which he said that the whole Dongling belongs to him, but if she is able to walk out of the nightclub, he will spare her.
00:01:05Hearing this, she ran towards to the exit but saw her boyfriend with another woman.
00:01:09She was the shoes company's secretary.
00:01:12Coco got aggressive and demanded for an explanation,
00:01:14to which his boyfriend Shou Yang responded to her rudely and accused her for pretending to play innocent all the time.
00:01:21The man tried to hold her down and the secretary slapped Coco so badly that she fainted and dragged Coco back to Mr. Beeming.
00:01:29Mr. Beeming offered her a drink to calm herself, but she refused to,
00:01:33which he forced the drink down her throat and asked her to serve him if she needs assistance in getting revenge.
00:01:39Coco wanted to confirm and to which he guaranteed that he never breaks his promises.
00:01:43As soon as he was finished with his words, he approached Coco again and tried to use force against her will,
00:01:49to which she quickly decided to change her mind and called it quits.
00:01:52But Mr. Beeming wasn't ready to accept it.
00:01:55According to him, once a deal is made, it shouldn't be broken so easily.
00:01:59One must have to pay for it.
00:02:01Coco was so terrified that she fainted right at that moment,
00:02:05to which Mr. Beeming felt pity on her and left her alone.
00:02:07The next morning, Coco woke up in Mr. Beeming's bed and saw a female servant standing right in front of her.
00:02:15She was ordering her to get up and get dressed as if she was some filthy lady
00:02:19who was ready to sleep with anyone for some extra cash.
00:02:22Coco realized and felt relieved that nothing was done to her.
00:02:26The female servant kept pushing her to go downstairs where Mr. Beeming was waiting for her.
00:02:31She quickly got dressed, and when Cho Yang got the money but with only a minor share in the company,
00:02:36the main shareholder was Zhang Company's owner, Jaling Zhang, and it was near to a cemetery.
00:02:42The price of the land was in the end left with no gains, and Cho Yang regretted his decision.
00:02:47He never thought that Mr. Beeming will spend so much money just to assist her in getting back at him for cheating.
00:02:52He requested for Coco's help, but she refused and begged.
00:02:56Suddenly, he was knocked over by his new girlfriend, whom had seen that if Coco had a chance with Mr. Beeming,
00:03:02she will too, and even offered herself to him.
00:03:05Mr. Beeming even rejected her and kicked them out.
00:03:08Coco wanted to leave as well she had schoolwork to do,
00:03:11but Mr. Beeming wanted her to stay and serve him as now it was her turn to complete the deal with him.
00:03:16Filled with embarrassment, Coco wanted to leave and break the deal to which she didn't think too much,
00:03:21and offered him that she will pay him back.
00:03:23On hearing this, Mr. Beeming laughed and asked that if she is sure about it
00:03:28because two billion isn't a joke when it comes to money returning.
00:03:32Mr. Beeming wasn't ready to let her go and forced her into the room.
00:03:36As soon as he was about to do something, he was interrupted by his secretary
00:03:39and mentioned about a master coming to Dongling Advance.
00:03:43Mr. Beeming quickly got up, buttoned his shirt, and left.
00:03:47Coco grabbed the opportunity and quickly left his house.
00:03:49As soon as she entered the lawn, she saw a bunch of men trying to take advantage of the shoes group secretary.
00:03:56Coco thought of everyone in the Beeming group and Mr. Beeming as a demon for taking her revenge in a way like that.
00:04:03At night time, Mr. Beeming was enjoying his evening tea and asked about what he had left.
00:04:09Mr. Beeming quickly ordered some people to get every little detail about Coco.
00:04:13He was completely offended by the fact that she had left his house,
00:04:17even though she was given a warning.
00:04:20The next morning, Coco woke up after having a nightmare.
00:04:23Suddenly, her friend came in the room and told her that they were going to be late for a decoration day
00:04:28and that they were supposed to be a temporary member of the etiquette team.
00:04:32She quickly gets up and leaves for the event.
00:04:35Fortunately, they got there on time.
00:04:37Her supervisor scolded her for coming to the event in casual clothing
00:04:41and that no one will be ready to give funds to their script she had written.
00:04:45Coco and her friend were asked to be hosts at the conference and that they had to serve drinks.
00:04:51Suddenly, Coco dropped the wine bottle and got completely stiff and scared,
00:04:55seeing that the chief guest was no other than Mr. Beeming himself.
00:05:00Coco kept standing all frozen between so many people just by looking her worst nightmare right in front of her.
00:05:06Her friend quickly held her hand and took her to the side room,
00:05:09where she got extremely scolded, but all she could do was think about running away from the event.
00:05:14But then she realized that she needs fund for her society
00:05:17and that she mustn't become selfish and simply ignore Mr. Beeming during the whole event.
00:05:23She gets very confused and decides to, so she took a walk in the lawn,
00:05:27where someone suddenly grabbed her from the back and surprisingly, it was Mr. Beeming.
00:05:32Coco kept crying and requested for him to let her go.
00:05:35Mr. Beeming made an offer that if she agrees on doing the film of her script,
00:05:39he will let her go earlier than the amount of days he will need her to stay at the Beeming house.
00:05:44Mr. Beeming repeatedly asked Coco to complete her promise just in the way he did.
00:05:49Coco began to request, and again, and this time, she started to cry out.
00:05:53Mr. Beeming asked her to calm down and think about him giving her a sponsorship
00:05:57to which she dried up her tears and focused.
00:05:59She agreed to his help.
00:06:00Mr. Beeming began to flirt with Coco continuously
00:06:03and pushed him away saying that he was a nasty and pathetic man she had ever met.
00:06:08She hurried back to the dormitory and her friend came to her telling her the good news
00:06:12that the president had found someone who was ready to donate in their movie.
00:06:16Both of them walked up to the president's office.
00:06:19Again, Coco panicked after seeing Mr. Beeming in his office.
00:06:23It had turned out that Mr. Beeming was reviewing the details.
00:06:26He was surprised that Coco had written such a good movie and wanted to discuss further.
00:06:32The president understood that Mr. Beeming was interested in Coco.
00:06:36He took her friend, and he left both of them talking in the office for more than an hour
00:06:41and during that meeting.
00:06:43Mr. Beeming not only teased her, but also tried to approach her in every way possible.
00:06:49He even mentioned the script needed a few changes in which Coco was unable to concentrate
00:06:53and lost her guard every time when she thought he was getting serious about the meeting.
00:06:57Coco's friend thought she was in trouble, so she kept standing at the door,
00:07:01but Mr. Beeming's secretary wouldn't let her in.
00:07:05Mr. Beeming kept on teasing Coco to the point she screamed and yelled at him to leave her alone.
00:07:10Her friend got worried and barged in without caring about the secretary.
00:07:14She saw that both were sitting in silence.
00:07:16Her friend inquired her whether she was okay,
00:07:19and the president asked about whether Coco had explained the script to Mr. Beeming.
00:07:23He didn't like the script to which the president got worried,
00:07:27but Mr. Beeming was still ready to make a contract if Coco was ready to edit in some scenes.
00:07:32The president got happy and made Coco escort him out of the association.
00:07:37Coco wanted to thank Mr. Beeming but ended up getting tricked by him.
00:07:41While they were walking, Coco was handed over a picture of her sister,
00:07:44engaged with other men in unpleasing activities.
00:07:48Mr. Beeming again ordered her to serve him otherwise.
00:07:51He will leak out her youngest sister's pictures over the internet.
00:07:55This was a big shock to Coco to which she had no other option to give in.
00:08:00She begged him and called her stepsister a naive child for doing such things,
00:08:04but it didn't bother him.
00:08:06With no other option, she had to engage in an intimate relationship with Mr. Beeming.
00:08:12Coco had reached the empire house all nervous and scared.
00:08:16The female servants had escorted her to Mr. Beeming's room,
00:08:18where she waited for him to come out of the shower.
00:08:21Mr. Beeming was surprised that she finally showed up and started to tease her about her
00:08:25sister's pictures, taunting her with bets that if her pictures gets viewers less than a million,
00:08:30he can share a 10% to her account.
00:08:34Coco was very frustrated and started to convince him that she was wrong to involve him in her
00:08:38personal matter with her ex, and explained that she was sorry he had to lose a lot of money.
00:08:42But he kept on teasing her.
00:08:45Coco held his hand and promised to be obedient.
00:08:48She quickly picked a glass of red wine and drank it in one go.
00:08:52She kept defending her sister for being naive and childish,
00:08:56to which Mr. Beeming got annoyed and threw her on the bed and took the intimate step forward.
00:09:01He went too far that night, even the female servants were surprised at the girl's condition
00:09:05and to the stains on the bed.
00:09:08She was covered with bruises and felt totally fragile.
00:09:11One of the female servants kept on taunting her,
00:09:14kept bothering her about having the guts to keep Mr. Beeming waiting for her at breakfast,
00:09:18and called her a wasted woman to which Coco felt more disappointed and numb.
00:09:23She quickly took a shower, during which she kept on crying.
00:09:26As soon as Coco was about to head downstairs after taking a shower,
00:09:30she spotted on the laptop those.
00:09:33Coco felt frustrated and went down to see Mr. Beeming, where he was busy reading a newspaper,
00:09:37but as soon as he saw Coco, his eyes went into a deep gaze.
00:09:41He never imagined Coco to be so satisfying and beautiful that night.
00:09:45He noticed she was too embarrassed to eat,
00:09:48so he started to tease her about how he will have to feed him forcefully in bed,
00:09:52to which Coco got shocked and began to eat with hesitation,
00:09:55saying she will eat and won't be picky.
00:09:59As soon as she was done,
00:10:00she thought that Mr. Beeming might help her in helping with her sister's matter,
00:10:04to which Mr. Beeming refused,
00:10:06and demanded her to stay be his woman for a longer time just to keep things quiet.
00:10:11Coco was furious and thought the man had been making a fool out of her,
00:10:15to which she was almost near to slapping him,
00:10:18but Mr. Beeming grabbed her hand and warned her for her actions.
00:10:22Soon Mr. Beeming's secretary entered
00:10:24and gave him the agreement in which it was stated that if Coco were to spend more days with him,
00:10:29which was a deal made by Coco's family,
00:10:31he can even stop the photos from spreading across the internet and making it less bad as it was.
00:10:37Coco knew that the way he tortured her last night at that rate,
00:10:40she might not be able to survive longer and lose her dignity entirely.
00:10:44She begged him that she could pay him off,
00:10:46but Mr. Beeming was amused,
00:10:48saying that it will be impossible for her to pay back $2,000,000,000,
00:10:52and that she should stop being selfish and think about her family more.
00:10:56She had no other choice but to accept his offer.
00:11:01In a disastrous situation,
00:11:03she wasn't expecting that her own family would sell her off,
00:11:06and that Mr. Beeming had nothing to do with it,
00:11:08but to accept the deal since he knew they couldn't pay it off.
00:11:11Coco was distressed and trembling to sign the agreement that Mr. Beeming had to offer.
00:11:17He kept making her realize that she had nothing left but to ask him for help,
00:11:22and the conditions he had set were to be abided at all costs.
00:11:26Coco was silent and completely numb.
00:11:29It was as if she couldn't even think anymore
00:11:31because of the fear of the terrible nights she will have to suffer with him.
00:11:36Mr. Beeming also warned her that if she is unable to pay up $2,000,000,000,
00:11:39he will naturally go after his family for it
00:11:42because it was insulting for him as a businessman to lose so much money.
00:11:46When Coco wasn't responding for quite a while,
00:11:49he ordered his secretary to let her family know
00:11:51that he won't help them out in covering up the mess made by Coco's sister.
00:11:56As he was about to leave,
00:11:57Coco tried to stop him and desperately uttered to make herself completely to his disposal,
00:12:02but Mr. Beeming grabbed her and made her struggle while she cried her tears out.
00:12:06She kept repeating that she was ready to turn herself in
00:12:09and that she was ready to sign the papers immediately.
00:12:13As she started to sign and held the pen trembling,
00:12:16Mr. Beeming made the call to stop the photos from getting leaked out.
00:12:20Coco now was believed to be an obedient toy,
00:12:22and the both of them started to live together and went on vacations.
00:12:27On a cruise ship, both were lounging in the sun, trying to catch a few fishes.
00:12:32Coco was anxious and wondering what could be his next move,
00:12:35but after a while she had an amusing thought that Mr. Beeming wasn't good at fishing,
00:12:40since it had been an hour that he didn't caught a single one.
00:12:44Soon later, Mr. Beeming made Coco to catch a fish.
00:12:47The number of fishes she will catch the lesser the days she will have to spend with him,
00:12:51to which she got excited and caught plenty of fishes,
00:12:54but she got completely distracted when she fell on Mr. Beeming's lap.
00:12:58As usual, he started to tease her about the price of the fishing rod
00:13:02and told her to be careful with it.
00:13:04Also, he kept telling her to stay still, otherwise things could get messier.
00:13:09Coco was quite uncomfortable, but quickly was relieved when she noticed Mr. Beeming fell fast asleep.
00:13:15She then continued with her fishing at ease.
00:13:18Mr. Beeming, when woke up from his nap,
00:13:20realized he had been resting his head on Coco's leg, which made it numb.
00:13:24Coco began to rub her leg, and Mr. Beeming curiously asked that,
00:13:28why didn't she woke him up if she was so uncomfortable?
00:13:32To which she replied that she didn't wanted him to be disturbed.
00:13:35Listening to that made him very happy, and he started to take more interest in her.
00:13:40She then highlighted the fact that she had been fishing for quite a long time,
00:13:44and that she had caught seven fishes in total.
00:13:47Mr. Beeming was even more impressed,
00:13:49and asked her to keep a note of the number,
00:13:51as he had promised that each one will cost ten million.
00:13:55The secretary was confused to why Mr. Beeming would buy those local fishes at a very high price.
00:14:02But then he slowly realized that the young master was starting to take interest in her.
00:14:08Mr. Beeming told Coco to rest up until they reached back home,
00:14:11to which she did, and woke up in Mr. Beeming's lounge.
00:14:15As Coco woke up, she noticed a butler in her waiting.
00:14:19He then escorted her to the dinning hall where a heavy feast was prepared.
00:14:22All of the servants were gathered around her,
00:14:25serving her and pouring food in her plate delicately.
00:14:28Soon, Mr. Beeming had also arrived with his secretary and settled down to eat with her.
00:14:33The waiter was a little nervous when Coco served him the fish she had caught,
00:14:37because Mr. Beeming doesn't like eating from utensils used by others.
00:14:42But it was a complete surprise to every servant when he enjoyed the meal fed by her,
00:14:46and even complimented on the deliciousness of the food.
00:14:49Suddenly, Mr. Beeming was called by a guest, and he immediately got up and rushed outside,
00:14:55but he turned back and told Coco to stay here until he returns, or else he would be displeased.
00:15:01Coco agreed and waited for him till midnight.
00:15:04She was skimming through the magazine pages,
00:15:06all written about Mr. Beeming and the Yee Company, and suddenly dozed of in bed.
00:15:12Mr. Beeming had returned quite late and saw Coco sleeping soundly and comfortably.
00:15:16When Mr. Beeming had returned, he saw Coco lying comfortably in bed,
00:15:21and her clothes were a little revealing to which he couldn't control himself and leaned forward for a kiss.
00:15:27Coco got surprised and woke up.
00:15:29She was shocked, but also annoyed by the fact that Mr. Beeming was attracted to her body and scent again.
00:15:35Soon later, he realized that Coco was making him very impulsive,
00:15:39and her beauty was too much for him to handle.
00:15:41He thought to make proper clothes for her in order to hide the traces on her neck otherwise.
00:15:47With a character like her, she is too naive to wear anything suitable for June or July,
00:15:52and it will cause trouble not only to himself, but for her as well.
00:15:56The next morning, Coco woke up at 6.31 startled when she saw Mr. Beeming lying really close next to her.
00:16:03He was already wide awake and admiring Coco while she was asleep,
00:16:06and asked her if she wanted to leave for school otherwise she could stay at home and wait for him to come back.
00:16:13But Coco got up and insisted to leave.
00:16:15She covered herself with the blanket she was in, but realized that Mr. Beeming was also next to her.
00:16:21As soon as she realized, she yelled in embarrassment and went to the bathroom.
00:16:25Later, both got ready.
00:16:28Coco looked absolutely gorgeous that Mr. Beeming couldn't take his eyes off.
00:16:32He quickly changed the subject and asked Coco to eat quickly otherwise she could get late.
00:16:37Soon, both were done with breakfast.
00:16:40Mr. Beeming insisted to drop her off at school, but his secretary got a fancy car for them to ride,
00:16:46to which Coco wasn't pleased, so Mr. Beeming had to call for a casual-looking car for her
00:16:51so that no one at school could grab any sort of attention that may expose their relationship.
00:16:56His secretary was again shocked by his master's change of behavior.
00:17:00It was the first time that he had accompanied a woman during a ride to an important place.
00:17:05Coco's school was supposed to start at 8 a.m., but Mr. Beeming always left for his office quite late,
00:17:11so he decided to change the company's working time.
00:17:14Now everyone had to come early at 8 a.m. and would get of early one hour before afternoon.
00:17:20At school, Coco had entered the Literature Association room,
00:17:24all dolled up to which her friend was delighted to see her and directed her as a fairy.
00:17:28The president of the society quickly interrupted and asked Coco to review the script
00:17:34and take the agreement to share it with Mr. Beeming.
00:17:37On listening to this, she got hesitated and worried,
00:17:41but the president kept on forcing her and explained that he had noticed that Mr. Beeming values her the most.
00:17:47Coco, in a great rush, had taken the script,
00:17:50but had forgotten about the agreement that she needed to get Mr. Beeming's sign.
00:17:54Coco had reached the company of Mr. Beeming, but wasn't allowed to meet him in person.
00:17:59The girls at the reception weren't allowing her to enter because she didn't have an appointment
00:18:03and that she couldn't be someone important to meet up with Mr. Beeming.
00:18:07The girls started to speak irrationally and talked about her character,
00:18:11that she looked very young and approachable,
00:18:13so she must be using her youth to attract Mr. Beeming and want to be his girlfriend.
00:18:18Coco was very offended and got angry when suddenly the secretary came down and took Coco with him.
00:18:24He warned the receptionist to not misbehave with her and that she didn't need an appointment to meet Mr. Beeming.
00:18:31Both of them finally reached the 28th floor and Coco was quite fascinating by the looks of the office.
00:18:37It was quiet, spacious, and comforting.
00:18:40She began to admire the view from the window.
00:18:42While she was completely distracted,
00:18:45Mr. Beeming asked Coco to give him the script for him to view.
00:18:48Coco had re-edited it and made quite a lot of changes to which Mr. Beeming had no issues.
00:18:54She took a sigh and was relieved that the main focus was done.
00:18:59He then asked that how she was planning to make the script into an eye-catching movie.
00:19:03Coco began to share her ideas and that her society had already contacted the movie industry
00:19:08and that they had made a B-list which included less famous actors so that the budget won't be that costly.
00:19:14Coco had a panicked expression when looking through the files she realized that the budget agreement was not in the file.
00:19:22Mr. Beeming got the chance to tease her again and pulled her by the wrist and forced her to sit in his lap.
00:19:27He demanded Coco to write the budget agreement on her own while sitting in his lap.
00:19:32He opened the laptop for her and told her that he won't like a low-budget movie
00:19:36and that he was ready to spend 300 million yuan.
00:19:40With that said, he gently bit Coco's ear and she made a noise.
00:19:43Mr. Beeming warned her not to make such noises because he might lose his control.
00:19:49Pushing him away, she continued with her work.
00:19:51She also thought about a top actor they could hire him for 300 million yuan.
00:19:56She then asked about the dividends the club could earn,
00:19:59to which he replied that if she made a profit, then he will send 10% to her account,
00:20:04but if she failed, she will receive nothing.
00:20:07Coco agreed and the document was prepared.
00:20:10Mr. Beeming asked her to sign the document on behalf of her association, for which she did.
00:20:16Mr. Beeming then handed over Coco an ID card for her to withdraw funds from the finance department
00:20:21whenever she needed them to get started on the movie.
00:20:24Coco requested for a leave, and as she was about, Mr. Beeming pulled her and gave her a kiss,
00:20:30to which she got embarrassed while walking down the hallway that she suddenly bumped into someone
00:20:35and dropped her papers. While Coco was quickly picking them up, she heard a familiar sound.
00:20:41She thought that Ye was around when suddenly she looked at the man in front of her.
00:20:45Holding was holding the script and was confused.
00:20:49The script slips from Coco's hands and lands on the floor.
00:20:52Jun picks them up and is surprised to learn that the Empire group invested in a movie written by some
00:20:57unknown writer. Coco tells him it's hers and requests him to return it back to her.
00:21:03He asks for her name. Coco lets him know that she is Coco Ming, a member of Yifei Studio,
00:21:08and pleads with him to return her script because she is going downstairs.
00:21:12He introduces him as Jun Beeming, the head of the finance department of the Empire group,
00:21:17and inquires if she is informed by the CEO that to withdraw funds, she would need his permission.
00:21:22She informs him that Mr. Beeming asked her to take her ID card to withdraw funds from his department.
00:21:29Shun is getting off work so he offers her to join him in dinner as he wants to learn the details of
00:21:34the project since it costs a lot. A reluctant Coco nods and informs him that she will be waiting
00:21:41downstairs. Her being with Beeming captures Shun interest. Shun then steps into Beeming's office
00:21:47to inquire about his plan to make a movie. He informs him that recently the Empire group has
00:21:53cooperated with the Nangong family to build a direct suspension line between Dongling and Xiling,
00:21:58and he is still busy making a movie. He then informs her that he just met Coco and asked her for dinner
00:22:04because this is the first time the Empire group has entered the film and television industry,
00:22:09so they should know the concrete details. He also compliments Coco and addresses her as a beauty,
00:22:15and he's curious to know what it would be like to fall in love with that little girl.
00:22:19Beeming pauses and warns him not to touch her, and she is until he gets tired. Short acknowledges
00:22:25that she is his, but reminds him not to keep her for a long time because the Master does not want him
00:22:31to have a serious relationship. It does not matter to him she is clean, and he's not tired of her yet.
00:22:38He tells her that he scheduled an appointment with her to be acquainted with her,
00:22:41and if he wouldn't mind and also inquires about her performance. Beeming closes his eyes and
00:22:48confesses that she could do nothing except for crying. Shun wonders why he was so direct,
00:22:54and it seems that he really does not care about her. He also investigates if he ended up finding
00:22:59the person Master tasked him with. He lets him know that he hasn't. As he's leaving,
00:23:04he reminds her that he's going to dine with that little beauty. Beeming lights his cigarette,
00:23:09feeling a pang of jealousy as he questions her audacity to dine with another man,
00:23:14and admits that she is gutty. In the restaurant, Coco receives a text message from Beeming who
00:23:20tells her to wait for him in the company and come back to Empire House tonight.
00:23:25When they arrive back at the office, Coco is standing still before the building,
00:23:30contemplating whether it is here, why is she not going upstairs? He then grabs her hand,
00:23:35taking her by force and asking how Beeming and her know each other. She remains silent.
00:23:40He asks her why she is mute. Upon entering Beeming's office, much to their surprise,
00:23:46they discover another girl seated on his lap. Upon witnessing this scene, Coco hastily runs away,
00:23:51prompting Shun to inquire, what's wrong with her? Coco replies, she must leave here immediately.
00:23:57However, she is stopped by one of Beeming's guards who informs her that Sir wants to see her.
00:24:02She is then brought back into Beeming's presence, and he tells her that she just ruined his happy
00:24:07moment. But now that she's here and he is in spirits, he insists that she must replace the other
00:24:13girl to fulfill his desires. She tells him she does not want to be like that. Shun is amazed that
00:24:19there is really someone who is capable of refusing Beeming's love and that he is not popular with every
00:24:25girl. The other girl inquires about Beeming and Coco's relationship, he replies back. Just like her,
00:24:31he wants to accompany her tonight, and she can go back to school first. While Shun wonders that he
00:24:36never allowed such women to enter his office and he broke his rules again, what on earth is he
00:24:42thinking about? Beeming hands over his business card to the girl and tells him that she doesn't
00:24:48want to do that and she wouldn't be humiliated by him like that. She ponders that it's better to die
00:24:54than lose her dignity. In her desperate attempt to escape, she makes a run for it but tragically
00:24:59stumbles and collides head first with a table. She loses consciousness and blood begins to flow
00:25:05from her injured head as she continues to plead with Beeming not to let others watch. Seeing her
00:25:11in this condition, Beeming panics and screams at Shun to drive his car out and what he is waiting for.
00:25:18In the hospital, Shun wonders that he did not expect this girl to be so unyielding and he was
00:25:24just kidding and she actually took it seriously and fortunately it was just a mild concussion.
00:25:29He also requests Beeming to let her go and if he just likes her body, he will arrange her some
00:25:34clean and beautiful ones. Beeming inquires if he would not fall for this little white rabbit.
00:25:40He states that it is not possible and he just merely pities her. Beeming warns him that he better
00:25:46not touch her or he is never soft-hearted with those who betray him. He assures her that there is no
00:25:51need for him to touch his girl but after all, she is just an ignorant little girl and he does not have
00:25:56to be that cruel. After that, he leaves. Beeming wonders that Coco fought against him in such a way
00:26:02and that how is she now? Coco is having a nightmare where she is constantly repeating that she does not
00:26:09want to die and is shouting for help. She grabs Beeming's hand and holds it tightly. Beeming notices
00:26:15that she is scared. She again begs in her sleep to not let others watch. Beeming checks her
00:26:21temperature and notices that it has reduced. Then he turns around but she doesn't let go of his
00:26:25hand. Beeming wants to go and sit on a comfortable and big sofa but instead chooses to stand by her
00:26:31side and keep holding her hand after an hour, she regains her consciousness finding him in the same
00:26:36position. She suddenly starts apologizing and promising not to do it again and being an obedient
00:26:41girl. She thinks to herself that she should not have been so impulsive. What if he gets angry and
00:26:47decides to take it out on her family and she can deal with everything else as long as he does not
00:26:52make her live without her dignity? Beeming hand is numb who now demands that she gets up and eat
00:26:57breakfast. Poco realizes that she has missed school and asks for permission to just call her classmate
00:27:03once. She hurls a lot of questions in her direction demanding to know where she has been and why she did
00:27:09not come to class today and her cell phone is off, inquiring that she asked the counselor for leave and
00:27:14what happened to her. Is everything all right? She assures her that she is fine and she just hit
00:27:20her forehead at the mall yesterday. Her friend is concerned about her and asks if she is injured and
00:27:25if it's serious and if she has seen a doctor and wants to come to meet her. She lies to her that she
00:27:31is at a friend's house and she hasn't informed her family about it because she does not want them to
00:27:35worry so she must keep it a secret. She inquired which friend of hers. She tells him that it's Shun who
00:27:43she met yesterday and he happened to see her and helped her while avoiding eye contact with Beeming.
00:27:49Her friend advises her to seize the opportunity as he is a handsome guy she has seen the pictures on
00:27:54the internet. She warns her not to spout nonsense and they don't have a relationship like that and
00:27:59she will come tomorrow then they can talk about it. Just as she hangs up Beeming throws her to the
00:28:04bed and master of their empire group. He tries to explain that she did not. He says she is trying to
00:28:11seduce him when Shun is also taking interest in her. She tells him to ignore Xiao nonsense and that
00:28:17she only talked about business during the meal. She also informs him that he won't like her because
00:28:21he knows that she is his. Beeming is mad because Shun never talks about business during the meals.
00:28:27She realizes that she cannot push him off his limits anymore and starts taking off her clothes.
00:28:33Beeming asks her what she is doing and he never said that he does not trust her. He inquires if
00:28:38she is making amends for what happened yesterday or is she just worried that he will hurt her family.
00:28:44He leans ahead. He also warns her to never do that again as she is aware of the consequences.
00:28:50She ensures she won't. She then asks him that yesterday count, that she accompanied him.
00:28:55He thinks to himself, how resistant is this woman to stay with me? He reveals that he did not sleep
00:29:00last night and kept standing. So if she does not want to rest, she should do something else with him
00:29:05to save his time. Intimidated, she shuts her eyes off and says she is dizzy and she wants to sleep.
00:29:12She wonders that he kept standing at it. She wonders that he kept standing and did not sleep,
00:29:17so she should have shared her bed with him. She wonders if he really stood by the bed all night,
00:29:22but then thinks it's impossible. In the school, people talk about how Fei-Fei took Mr. Beeming's
00:29:29business card to participate in the movie. They wonder if she can make it. After all,
00:29:34she is the principal's daughter and the school's babe. They then talk about how the boys in their
00:29:39association are like bees who saw sugar and vying with each other to introduce the plot to her.
00:29:45They also witnessed her hugging the president that day. They all then become quiet when they
00:29:50see she's coming their way. She has come to meet Coco and asks if she's going to the Empire House
00:29:57tonight and if she can accompany her. Coco refuses and tells her that she has to go to the school and
00:30:02does not have much time and if she wants, she can go by herself. Fei-Fei thinks to herself that she
00:30:08should stop putting on airs. If it had not been for Sir, she wouldn't have even talked to her and a
00:30:13girl like her will soon bore Sir, so it's really ridiculous for her to have a good opinion of herself.
00:30:19Later, we see that Xiang Xiang has accompanied Coco to the hospital and she expresses her gratitude.
00:30:25Xiang Xiang
00:30:26Is curious to know what has happened at the meeting. Why was the president directed against
00:30:32her? The president demanded that Coco pleases Ye Beeming so as to let Tang Fei-Fei be the top
00:30:38actress. This makes Xiang Xiang mad, who warns her against Fei-Fei because she had a bad experience
00:30:44with her in the past and she is aware how vicious she is. But Coco is too distracted because Beeming told
00:30:50her when he had dropped her earlier than later the driver would come to pick her up. She texted him
00:30:54that the driver does not have to come and wonders if he has seen the text. When the car arrives,
00:31:00she lies to Xiang Xiang that she has a meeting with Shun to discuss finance. Unexpectedly, Beeming is
00:31:06also in it, in the car. She explains that her friend insisted on accompanying her to the hospital so she
00:31:13was afraid that she would know the affair between us. I didn't trust her, he says. What affair? She
00:31:20wonders if he's mad at her. She tells him that she came here because she did not want her to know that she
00:31:25would go to the Empire house. He asks her if she's really that scared of him. She admits that she is awfully
00:31:32scared. He smirks. She thinks to herself that this man seemed to have no heart. Even his smile is full of
00:31:39indifference and alienation. He pulls her into his arms. She explains that she does not mean to offend him, but they
00:31:46agreed that they wouldn't disclose their relationship. Beeming questions that were, did he agree with her?
00:31:53He leans his face closer to her and raises a question if she's really afraid of him or she's just unwilling
00:31:58to stay by his side. Frightened by him, she changes the topic and asks how did he know that she was in
00:32:04the hospital and how long has he been there? He says not long, just over an hour. She wonders if he
00:32:11followed her all the way from the school, but didn't stop her directly at the school gate. She
00:32:16uses her books in the dorm as an excuse to be able to stay in the dorm, but he remains silent.
00:32:21Unwilling to give up, she tells him that there will be an examination next week and she wants to go for
00:32:26a review. She wonders if he has fallen asleep and that she just thought too much. How could he care about
00:32:33her feelings? After an awkward moment of silence, he orders the driver to go back to school. She thanks him,
00:32:40but he warns her that she has only fifteen minutes to get the books from her dorm and when the time is
00:32:45up, he will go to the dormitory to find her himself. She is dumbfounded and asks him that. Does he want
00:32:52her to get the books and return to the imperial house with him? He says there are fourteen minutes
00:32:57and fifty seconds left. She slams the door on his face. The driver is shocked that she vented her anger
00:33:04and that he thought she would have never dared to lose her temper in front of Sir. Unexpectedly,
00:33:09Baiming invited Feifei to join them at the empire house tonight. Feifei kisses Baiming and asks him
00:33:14if she can call his name. Baiming seems uninterested in and only stares at Coco. Two people are conversing
00:33:21about Baiming, their identities unknown. One of them claims that Baiming is still insincere in women,
00:33:27as usual. But the other person believes that a woman that can be brought to the empire house by him
00:33:32is somehow different. The gray-haired man disagrees that the woman is obviously the type he always
00:33:38prefers. What's the difference? But he says the one sitting in front is different. In the empire,
00:33:45Feifei has already occupied Coco's seat at the Daifei Baiming, who allowed her to sit there. She
00:33:50needs to stand beside him. He's mad that Coco does not care about her seat at all and if that's the case,
00:33:55she should stand as she likes. Coco then serves, Baiming the soup. Feifei also tries to offer him
00:34:03the food, but Baiming is irritated and calls his servant, who asks Feifei to sit on the next seat.
00:34:08But Fair is humiliated and thinks that how dare a servant talk to her like that. When she becomes
00:34:14the hostess of the Baiming family, she will surely deal with him. Coco giggles as she sees that Feifei
00:34:20is refusing to obey Baiming's order, and this must have been unexpected to Baiming as well.
00:34:26Baiming glances at her and notices that she is laughing. He pulls her into his lap and orders
00:34:31him to keep distributing food, while his servant forces Feifei to sit on the other seat. She feeds
00:34:37him. This makes Feifei real mad that he is so indifferent to her, or else he will dislike her
00:34:43more. In the room. Coco tries to stop him, telling him it's not cool, but he believes that it's cool.
00:34:51Baiming reminds Coco that she has been with him all these days and she hasn't learned to be obedient.
00:34:57Coco panics and tells him that he should not do that. They just had a meal. Besides,
00:35:02she has not taken a bath and she is dirty now. He asks her if she's reminding him to take a bath now.
00:35:08Well then, let's have a bath together. He picks her up. In the bathroom,
00:35:13she tells him that Dr. Yang told her to keep her wounds from water. He states then she should
00:35:17be obedient and not move. He will help her. After the bath.
00:35:22They are sitting in the room when Coco thinks that he's a liar and he said he would let her
00:35:27review lessons today and her waist hurts now. He rubs his hand on her waist. Conquest surprised and
00:35:33realizes that his hand is so warm that she feels better now Coco turns her eyes to look at him,
00:35:38and he tells her if she's trying to seduce him with eyes again. Coco suddenly divides her attention
00:35:44back to her book and starts reading and thinks that as the president of the Empire Group,
00:35:49how can he be indelicate like this? While Beaming ponders over the thought that high self-control
00:35:55always fails to work on this woman. That's when Feifei knocks the door and asks the boy did he go,
00:36:02and she knocked the door so many times and no one responded. Feifei is mad to see Coco and Beaming
00:36:09together and wonders how many dirty tricks this woman has played in secret. Coco stands up and
00:36:14offers her seat to Feifei as she is going to read a book. Beaming does not seem very pleased with it
00:36:20and thinks how this woman tried to push him to another woman again and again. She really looks down
00:36:25upon him. Beaming orders Feifei to go wait in the bar counter downstairs and he's busy now.
00:36:33He will be coming to her a moment later. She agrees and reminds him that she will be waiting,
00:36:37so he should not be late. Coco wonders if he's angry again, but why, as it has nothing to do with
00:36:43her. It's good for him to stay with Feifei tonight since he won't come back to torture her.
00:36:49After a while he goes down and sees Feifei, who has changed her clothing into a very pretty dress,
00:36:54but unexpectedly he has also brought Coco along, who is not pleased with him bringing her down to
00:37:00drink when he promised to let her study. Feifei approaches him. She subtly hints at wanting a
00:37:06compliment when she asks him if she is looking pretty in this dress. He turns around to Coco and
00:37:11tells her to wear such a dress next time, completely ignoring Feifei. He then orders her to pour some
00:37:16wine for him. As she's pouring the drink, she calls him a devil and that she's never going to wear
00:37:21a dress for him. He pulls her into his arms and tells her that this wine reminds him of what she
00:37:26looks like after drinking. She seems reluctant to come closer to him, but he dares her to escape and
00:37:31then she will know the price that she has to pay. He then asks her to drink the wine. She consumes it
00:37:37all in one go as she gets frightened by her threat. A drunk Coco is now sitting in Baiming's lap,
00:37:44who reminds him that he agreed to allow her to go back after she drank this glass of wine,
00:37:48but Baiming says he will accompany her. It tries to stop him saying that she is also drunk.
00:37:55Why does he not accompany her? But Beaming shows her cold shoulders, telling her that she's drunk
00:38:01so she needs to rest. He gives her a dress to put it on, but she refuses to wear it because it's too
00:38:05revealing. He tries to bribe her by saying that her days will be reduced if she wears it. Coco does not
00:38:12wish to wear the dress even because she has never wore such dress before, but Beaming tries to force
00:38:17it upon her that he will put it on her right there. Coco gets shocked and she says she'll put it on
00:38:23her own. She then changes into that dress and reminds Baiming that her ten days should be reduced
00:38:28now. He pushes her into the bed. She informs him that earlier he said he is tired, but he says she got
00:38:34it all wrong. After they spend the night together, Coco wakes up and finds Baiming smoking next to her
00:38:40and wonders to herself that she heard smoking is not addictive, and the only thing addictive is the
00:38:45lonely heart. She thinks if someone like him could be lonely. She gets up and moans because of tiredness.
00:38:52He asks if it's an invitation. Furiously, she shouts no and thinks to herself it's obviously the sequela of
00:38:58his torture last night. As he proceeds to touch her, she dodges his touch and falls out of the bed. In a flirtatious
00:39:05manner he inquires if she needs his help, but she is adamant on not taking it. In the washroom she tells him
00:39:11she will be ready soon, but he whispers in her ear in no hurry and lifts her shirt up. She tries to
00:39:17resist and moans, but he tells her to not shout and he will satisfy her abnormal preferences right
00:39:22away and lifts her up. Later in the school, her friend approaches her and informs Li Nangong will
00:39:28come to Dongling in advance to participate in a charity party in the upper class and asks her to go
00:39:33and meet him. She inquires if the news is accurate, and where did she get it? She asks her to trust her
00:39:40and it must be accurate, and she heard that Li Nangong was born in a rich and noble family and
00:39:45filming is merely his hobby, and she inquires if she is not aware that Nangong family is one of the
00:39:51biggest families in Xiling. Coco is worried that he won't be willing to work with them. Besides, how do
00:39:58ordinary people like them attend the banquet in the upper class? But her genius friend already sorted
00:40:03out everything. She has borrowed the invitation letters and the dresses. All that is left is to
00:40:09go and get changed. Coco wonders if Bai Ming will attend tonight as he hasn't contacted her for the past
00:40:15two days. On the other hand, Bai Ming driver inquires if he has any doubt about what Qing Fu Zhao had said
00:40:22that the car accident was only an accident, but he wonders why did the child disappear mysteriously.
00:40:28Bai Ming orders Qing Fu to be followed without slack. His driver then inquires if he's planning to go to
00:40:35the banquet, but he doesn't give an answer. Coco arrives at the vanguard. Her friend compliments
00:40:41her that she is indeed the most beautiful girl in the Beitang University of Science and Engineering and
00:40:47calls herself Coco's fan. Coco tells her not to be naughty, but she says she's telling the truth.
00:40:53She then leaves to take a bite of cake to cheer herself up, and Coco wonders where on the
00:40:58earth did she get the dresses and the invitation letters. She invites Coco to join her and eat
00:41:03something with her, but Coco decides to not bother her as everyone has a secret, so she would wait for
00:41:08her to take the initiative to tell her. When she is busy laughing and chatting with her friend
00:41:13Xiang Xiang, a blonde-haired man approaches her and says that he has not seen her at this kind of banquet
00:41:19before and if she just arrived at the Dongling. Goku tries to excuse herself as she explains she rarely
00:41:26attended a banquet like this, and she just came to have fun today. He replies that he also is here
00:41:31for fun instead of business and offers her to keep him company. Xiang Xiang blocks him and says that his
00:41:37way of adjusting is a bit old-fashioned keeping in mind that Coco dislikes playboys with good looks.
00:41:44He then introduces himself as Chen Dongfang, the general manager of Dongfang Group. They both are stunned to
00:41:51learn that he's from the Dongfang Group, the company that is only second to the Empire Group in Dongling.
00:41:57Xiang Xiang then explains that they are the students of Yifei Studio, and they hope that they can have the
00:42:03opportunity to cooperate with their company in the future. Their attention is then diverted by the girl
00:42:09chittering, only to find out that Li Nang Gong is making an entry, Xiang Xiang states.
00:42:15That lie, Nang Gong is rumored to be grumpy and always keeps a certain distance from others,
00:42:21so they wonder how they should get close to him. Coco thinks to herself that Li Nang Gong and Ye
00:42:27Beimin are similar to each other, it's just that one is quiet and reserved while the other is bossy
00:42:32and domineering. Chen Dongfang notices that they are looking for Li Nang Gong and offers to help.
00:42:40Coco is aware that as the general manager of Dongfang Group, Chen Dongfang has a say
00:42:45here and they can have a try. She does admit that she wants his help and they do want to talk to
00:42:50Mr. Nang Gong. He leans in closer and whispers not to regard him as an outsider and generally girls
00:42:56call him Chen or Brother Dongfang. Coco clenches her fist and calls him Brother Dongfang while
00:43:03requesting him to help them. He agrees to help now that she calls him brother and asks her to follow
00:43:08him if she wants to meet him, he'll take her there. He then introduces them to Li Nang Gong.
00:43:13Coco takes a seat but she regrets coming here with Chen Dongfang as they were rejected and maybe the
00:43:21reason is he has always been harassed by girls. Now he looks more indifferent after he sees them.
00:43:27She extends her hand for a handshake and introduces herself as Coco Ming and informs him that they are
00:43:32here to talk about cooperation. But he ignores her. She offers him to play the leading role in the film.
00:43:38He confronts them about the sponsorship by the Empire Group and thinks they are joking. But Coco explains
00:43:45that there is no need for them to lie and he will know the facticity as long as he inquires about it.
00:43:51Nang Gong wonders to himself, what is Ye Bae Ming doing? She informs him that she did not bring the
00:43:57script here today and if he can make an appointment to discuss the script in details, but Nang Gong's
00:44:02assistant offers his card and states that he is really busy these days. But if she still insists
00:44:07on inviting him, so she can give the script to him and he will discuss with his boss later.
00:44:13An embarrassed Coco decides to leave but Chen pins her back down and says it's a private time now.
00:44:19And since they all are friends, why don't they sit and have a drink?
00:44:22At that moment, Bae Ming also made an entry accompanying Feifan Yu known as the international
00:44:29superstar Feifan. Chen and they are leaving. Anne takes a confused Xiang Xiang along with her.
00:44:36Who questions why is she in such a hurry all of a sudden? Bae Ming eyes are laser-focused on her.
00:44:42Who follows her and blocks her way and inquires why is she here? Coco explains that she heard Mr.
00:44:49Nang Gong would come to the banquet tonight, so she wanted to discuss something with him.
00:44:53She thinks to herself if he's aware of what she wanted to discuss, he then turns around stating
00:44:58that it turns out that she's a fan of Lai and offers her to join them, and touches her hand in
00:45:03a flirtatious way. Back at the gathering, Bae Ming mentions that the second young master of the Mu
00:45:08family in Dongling would not attend such a banquet. Zijin replies that if Bae Ming can be here,
00:45:14why can't he? And adds that Master Bae Ming has always been busy. It's a heart one
00:45:19opportunity meeting him here. On the other hand, Chen offers Coco a cup of tea, but she refuses.
00:45:25Chen inquires if the movie is funded by the Empire Group. In that case, she would be familiar with
00:45:30Bae Ming. Before replying, she makes an eye contact with Bae Ming and becomes hesitant to reply.
00:45:36Feifan asks Bae Ming that if he's aware of the Empire Group investing in a movie project.
00:45:42She then inquires from Lai if they offered him to play the leading role. Lai admits,
00:45:46they did offer him to play the leading role. Coco wonders to herself what does that mean if he is
00:45:52acquainted with Lai Gonggong, but he actually told them to invite him. Chen informs Bae Ming that his
00:45:57two girls invited Lai to star in the movie and they were almost kicked out by him, and asks if he is
00:46:03not going to do anything about it. Bae Ming replies if he invites Lai. Lai will soon surely accept his
00:46:10invitation, but he won't be happy in the bottom of his heart. He just doesn't want to force him.
00:46:14Lai inquires if that means he can reject them. He states, of course, as he takes a sip from his
00:46:19drink, Coco is furious at him and calls him an evildoer in her mind. Lai then informs his manager
00:46:25that he has been tired recently, and he also wants to take a vacation, his manager replies.
00:46:30In that case, the appointment with Miss Coco is cancelled. Coco this time is unbothered and wishes
00:46:35him a nice holiday. Xiang Xiang comes closer to Coco and whispers in her ear that it is stressful to be
00:46:41with them and suggests leaving. Coco agrees with Xiang Xiang and they leave. Coco thinks to herself
00:46:47that the task was ruined by Bae Ming himself, which has nothing to do with them but considers
00:46:52sending him a message that they are leaving. She hears a voice behind which says, why is she
00:46:57leaving in such a hurry and if she is not going to wait for Bae Ming? Surprised, they look behind,
00:47:02only to find out the second son, Zijin of the Mu family. When he comes closer, he notices bandage
00:47:07on Coco's forehead and extends his hand to touch it, but she dodges it. She states although they
00:47:14failed to invite Mr. Nongong, please convince that even if he is rich, he cannot take her for granted.
00:47:20Her friend Xiang Xiang comes in front of her and shields her inquiring what he want,
00:47:24and the banquet was not held by him, so he has no right to stop them from leaving. He states that he
00:47:30can persuade Lai Nongong to participate in their movie. Coco thinks to herself that he might be capable
00:47:36of helping them, but she is afraid that it's not that simple. He offers to help her on one condition,
00:47:42that she will leave Yee Bae Ming, his demand leaves Coco flabbergasted. Xiang Xiang asks him,
00:47:48what does he mean by that, as there is no relationship between Coco and Bae Ming,
00:47:53and what is his motive to say something like that? He warns Coco that she will come to no good
00:47:59if she continues to be with him, and asks how much she wants as everyone bears a price in her mind
00:48:05and he can help her get that price. She reminds him that it's none of his business, and if he really
00:48:10has a problem with that, he can directly go and talk to him and then leaves with Xiang Xiang.
00:48:15He screams from behind that he didn't give her permission to leave. He then calls and orders
00:48:20someone to kidnap Coco. Chen asks Bae Ming if he has slept with Coco, and informs him that Zijin
00:48:26has taken the beauties to have fun with them. Fifan asks Chen why does he have to make fun of Bae Ming,
00:48:32and if he really likes the girl in green dress, he can go and get her back. She passes a drink to
00:48:38Bae Ming and he drinks it in one gulp. He bangs it onto the table as Chen asks him if that woman is
00:48:43really Bae Ming's woman and if she is not, then he can take her. But Bae Ming gets furious and responds
00:48:49that she is his woman and asks Zijin to not touch her before he is tired of her. Meaning he can take her
00:48:55after Bae Ming gets tired of Coco on his way. Bae Ming sees that Coco texted him before leaving.
00:49:00He notices Xiang Xiang far on the streets. She's asking people about Coco. He opens his door and
00:49:06he runs and asks Xiang Xiang about Coco and where is she? Xiang Xiang anxiously responds that she went
00:49:12to the bathroom and Coco was waiting for her outside. But when she came back, Coco was nowhere to be seen.
00:49:18Bae Ming asks her if she meet or talk to anyone before she left.
00:49:22She tells Bae Ming that they met Zijin before leaving and he asked Coco to leave Bae Ming.
00:49:27Bae Ming then leaves as he knows where to go. Xiang Xiang knows it's not normal because Coco is never a
00:49:33person who will leave without saying anything. She also wonders that Bae Ming seems very worried for
00:49:39Coco and does not understand what Zijin meant earlier. Mr. Bae Ming back in his car calls Coco but her
00:49:46phone is powered off. He orders the drive to go to Zijin Villa by the sea. Somewhere else Coco gets
00:49:51back her consciousness and wonders where she is. She hears someone asks Zijin if he is really going
00:49:56to do it. And so he can get the camera, Coco hears Zijin saying start. She gets scared. When he says to
00:50:03start tearing off her clothes in front of the camera, she suddenly hits one of the guy asking
00:50:07them to not touch her. One of them says she woke up and we see four shirtless men surrounding her on
00:50:13the bed. She has no idea what's going on and we Zijin sitting across on a sofa saying it's going to be
00:50:20more fun now that she's awake. Coco pretends to be calm and understands what's going on. Zijin knocked
00:50:26her out and brought her here so he can shoot her videos. So Bae Ming will think Coco betrayed her.
00:50:32But Coco tells Zijin that even if he gives Bae Ming these videos, there's no way Bae Ming will think
00:50:37she betrayed him. Even if she does not betray him, as long as her body is touched by other men,
00:50:43Bae Ming wouldn't want her anymore. Coco knows that Zijin will never accept that she was forced
00:50:48to be with Bae Ming and he'll play hard to achieve his aim. He then asks the men to not wait any longer
00:50:55and do what they're supposed to do. She takes one of the decoration piece that was beside the bed
00:51:00and holds it for self-defense as all the men reaches over to her. She hits one of the guy with the
00:51:06decoration piece. He gets hit to hard that he bleeds while Coco escapes. He tells Zijin that
00:51:12he'll go find her now. As she's running, she finds out that they're in a boat. She tells Zijin that if
00:51:18he takes even one step more, she'll jump off. He responds he knows she does not wish to die so she
00:51:23can stop with her act and come here. Coco asks him why must he force her to death. He taunts her that
00:51:29she's together with Bae Ming for money and there's no need for her to keep on acting virtuous.
00:51:34Coco tells him if he helps her leave Bae Ming, she'll not ask for a single penny. Zijin tells
00:51:40her to not play tricks on him as he steps towards her. She knows if she were to be ruined by him,
00:51:44it would be better to just die. Zijin tries to reach out for her, but it is too late as Coco jumps
00:51:50off. Zijin orders his men to go and save her knowing that she cannot swim. Bae Ming's boat comes and he
00:51:56asks Zijin about Coco, but Zijin tells him she jumped off. Bae Ming right at the moment jumps off to find her.
00:52:04Zijin wonders about how important Coco is to him that his expression changed in an instant as he
00:52:09jumped off. Coco sees him and Bae Ming grabs and kisses her, telling her he won't let her die.
00:52:14He then takes her out and she coughs and faints. He tells her to wake up and he won't allow her to
00:52:19die. He notices that she's not breathing and gets in shock. He shouts to drive the cruise ship back and
00:52:26to call for an ambulance. Zijin now understands that Coco is different from all the woman in the past,
00:52:31and he knows that if something ends up happening to her, Bae Ming will not let him be. Bae Ming holds
00:52:38Coco in his arm and tells her to rest assured as he'll definitely save her. He goes on to say that
00:52:43if he unable to bring her back to life, he'll let everyone die together with her right here.
00:52:50Coco suddenly chokes on water and wakes up. Mr. Bae Ming is surprised and hugs her tightly.
00:52:56Zijin is glad that she came to life. Coco never thought that one day she'll be grateful
00:53:00for Bae Ming's appearance. In the hospital, the doctor tells her that she can be discharged at
00:53:05any time, as all the procedures have been completed for her in advance. Coco thanks the doctors. She
00:53:11goes back to her house, and her sister asks her if Coco brought a new phone for her, as her old phone
00:53:17is broken. Coco tells her she had no time for it as she was busy studying and there's no extra money
00:53:23for the time being. In her room, her sister is taunting her that she never wished to buy a phone
00:53:29for her, and she's merely an illegitimate child of a father who was adopted by our family, and that
00:53:34they've been so kind to her, but she is not grateful at all. She noticed Coco had her old phone and
00:53:40rushes to her, and pushes her while shouting that, how dare Coco steal her phone and she's just like
00:53:46her mother. Coco falls down but shouts back to her to get out of her room as she does not wish to
00:53:50talk to her right now. Her angry sister asks her how dare she do this to her. She blames Coco for
00:53:56taking her father's love away, and now she even stole her phone and tried to see her secrets.
00:54:02Coco is lying on her bed as she knows that she shouldn't have pampered Shan Shan before.
00:54:06She wouldn't be like that. Coco's sister, with her friends, talks about how the dress is so pretty,
00:54:12which Coco says that it belongs to Xiang Xiang, and she has to give it back to her. Her sister does not
00:54:18believe these things to be of that pauper, and tells Coco that they are all hers now. Coco asks
00:54:24good. He kisses her and holds her hand. Coco thinks to herself that had it not been for his rapid
00:54:30heartbeat, she would have almost thought what had just happened had nothing to do with him.
00:54:36Baming lights a cigarette. Coco requests him not to smoke because she doesn't want her family to learn
00:54:41about this, and they will smell smoke when she goes back. She then wonders if her dad is worried since
00:54:47she has stepped out for so long, and worries about others too. She then asks for his permission to
00:54:53leave, but he refuses, and demands she sits for a while with him. She expresses her gratitude to him
00:54:59for saving her yesterday, but he remains silent. She wonders if he is going to fall asleep. She then
00:55:05inquires the reason for his arrival here if he has any projects going on. He replies that it is related
00:55:11to investment, and tells her to ask her father to buy as many old houses as possible. The houses will be
00:55:17very valuable. She is going to invest in the development of Hualan Street. Her phone rings.
00:55:22It's her father. She lies to him that she is at a friend's house, and she will come back later.
00:55:27She then requests Baming to drive her to the street corner. He inquires if she is afraid of being seen
00:55:33by others and places her hand on her face. She pleads with him to go back, but then calms herself so he
00:55:39doesn't get excited. Baming finds it amusing to see her expressions when she is being made fun of and calls his
00:55:45driver to come back. She then tells him the location where she will get off. After getting off, she bids
00:55:51him farewell. She thinks to herself that she has been used to slavishness after all these days and
00:55:56wonders, when she can return to her original life by completely getting rid of him. She then recalls
00:56:03everything that happened recently, and realizes so many things have happened in such a short period of
00:56:08time that she feels as if a generation has passed. On her way back home, she decides to buy some fruit.
00:56:15But she finds it difficult to carry those heavy bags, because the sequel of drowning accompanied
00:56:20with Baming's torture. Now she's so weak that she can carry two bags of fruit. Suddenly someone else
00:56:26picks it up. She looks up just to find Zijing standing in front of her. She takes a step back
00:56:31as she is startled by him. A truck is coming her way at a high speed. Zijing quickly acts and catches her,
00:56:38and asks what her problem is and not to hurt others if she wants to die. She pushes him and inquires.
00:56:43What else does he want? He asks her not to be nervous and he merely came to pay her a visit.
00:56:49She, with her guard up, expresses her gratitude, but she is fine. They then take a walk. She informs
00:56:55that if he wants her to leave, Ye Be Ming, he better talk to him by himself. An elderly lady passes by
00:57:02and mistakes Zijing for her boyfriend and compliments his looks. She clarifies to her that he is merely
00:57:07delivering the food for her. She laughs it off and leaves. She diverts her attention to him and
00:57:13inquires, what on earth does he want? If he can make Baming let her go, she will pay him. He questions
00:57:18how much she plans to pay. She's doubtful and inquires if he is willing to help her and why.
00:57:23He replies that he does not want her to be with him and nor does he want him to be fascinated by any
00:57:28woman. She wonders that if he cares about Baming so much, they might have something. She is surprised
00:57:33that he is even aware of the floor she lives in and it seems he really investigated her.
00:57:38As he's leaving, he asks her to tell him if she makes up her mind and he will help her.
00:57:43She finds Zijing strange and wonders if he really likes Ye Be Ming. Her sister is waiting for her
00:57:49inside the house as she has seen the draft plan in her bag and inquires if her studio is cooperating
00:57:55with a big company and is having a talent show. Coco refuses to let her know because she is too young
00:58:02to take part in and it is just a small draft. She will help her if there is any good opportunity in
00:58:08the future. Coco believes that Shan Shan is not mature enough. If she really participates in the
00:58:13talent church, she's afraid she will bunk classes every day and even quit school which will be terrible.
00:58:19Shan Shan calls her a liar and she tells her that she has seen it all. It costs millions to promote
00:58:24it. It is not a small draft at all and she just doesn't want her to live a good life. She then asks her
00:58:30not to come back as she is not welcomed here. Next day, as she's going to the school, she wonders
00:58:35that after living together for more than ten years, doesn't Shan Shan even have a sense of sisterhood to
00:58:41her? Zijin passes by and stops and offers her to drive to school but he follows her to university
00:58:47and becomes the center of attention. As girls are stunned by his beauty and praise him for his charming
00:58:54appearance, Coco thinks to herself when he will stop following her. Her friend Xiang Xiang approaches
00:59:00her and inquires what happened to her the night before as she left alone, which almost scared her
00:59:05to death. Zijin intervenes and says she was with him the night before and the phone was out of power
00:59:11so she didn't notify her in time. Xiang Xiang recognizes him and wonders that wasn't he the one who warned
00:59:17Coco to leave Beeming that night, so why is he together with Coco now? Straightforward with his
00:59:23intention, he states that he was unhappy because he thought there was an affair between them because
00:59:28he likes her and wants to chase her. An embarrassed Coco replies that he is just kidding and asks him to
00:59:35return the things to her and thanks him for help, but now she's going back to the dormitory. But he insists
00:59:41on having dinner with her as he is hungry. He then inquires if she is waiting for Ye before he could
00:59:46finish his sentence. She quickly agrees to accompany him. She requests Xiang Xiang to help her take her
00:59:52things back, who teases her to go and not starve the cool dude. After the dinner, Coco is surprised
00:59:59that she did not expect him to enjoy such cheap noodles. He doesn't act like a master of a rich family.
01:00:05As they're taking a walk, Coco is reminded of being here with Beeming before and embarrassment and fear
01:00:11is apparent on her face. Zijing notices her being absorbed in thought and inquires if she has come
01:00:17here with Beeming before. She lies to him that she did not. He suddenly grabs her hand and walks to that
01:00:23side. She asks him what he is doing and she won't go there. He lifts her up and mentions to scream only
01:00:28if she wants to be heard by others. Coco is panicking as she doesn't want to go to that place, but they pass
01:00:34by it and move forward. She realizes that they did not go there. He places her on a bench nearby and
01:00:41apologizes for having misunderstood her and done something bad to her. As compensation, he requests
01:00:48her to tell her how he forced her to be with him and he will help her. Coco thinks to herself that when
01:00:53she was betrayed by her ex-boyfriend and threatened by Beeming, she couldn't tell anyone and she couldn't
01:00:59even dare to cry. But now? Zijing says he could help her as long as she tells him everything.
01:01:05She doesn't tell him as she believes she cannot help her. She accepts his apology but on the condition
01:01:10that he doesn't come to her again in the future. As she leaves, he softly whispers that he really began
01:01:16to like her and he will come to her again. Later, Fai Fai approaches Coco and asks if she quarreled
01:01:23with Beeming these days, as he only asks to accompany her in the future house. She also states he is so
01:01:30fond of her he even neglects Coco now. Coco simply turns around and tells her to never mind and take
01:01:35good care of him. She thinks to herself if it is necessary to show off, but she would rather want her
01:01:41to speak ill of her in front of Beeming to make him hate her. As Coco leaves, Fai Fai becomes furious,
01:01:47wondering why she can be only close to Beeming while she can only work with the servants every day.
01:01:52Later, Coco is in Shun's office and recalls Jianxiang telling her Nian Huashu tried to meet Mr.
01:01:59Beeming several times, but was refused knowing that Coco could directly go to the 28th floor.
01:02:05He shamelessly asked her to help him. She tells him that she met with him to see if the draft plan
01:02:10is feasible. He asked her to call her brother Beeming or by his name. She calls him brother. He then
01:02:16inquires if she is interested in being her assistant. The annual salary is 200,000 yuan and
01:02:22since it is only a part-time job, this is the most reasonable price he can afford. She's shocked
01:02:28to hear the price and inquires why he is offering her the position. He states because she is safe
01:02:33enough. If it is someone else, that person will apply for at least 5 million from him and and save
01:02:392 million for him and he will give her 200 annual salary, which is equivalent to using her free for
01:02:4510 years. He gives her one day to consider it. He then takes her to try the company's afternoon tea.
01:02:52That's when Beeming arrives with Fei-Fan and she inquires where he is going during office hours.
01:02:57He replies that he's having afternoon tea with his little sister and asks what about them.
01:03:01She replies they just came back as Beeming accompanied her to play around today, then they
01:03:06are leaving. Shun spots a smile on Coco's face and realizes that seeing him being with another woman,
01:03:11she smiles happily instead of being jealous. So it appears that the girl really does not like him.
01:03:18She informs Shun that she made up her mind and she will be his assistant.
01:03:23On her way back home, she gets a call from Beeming who instructs her to come to his office
01:03:27immediately. She asks, wasn't he with Fei-Fan? He replies that he came back and she just has 5 minutes.
01:03:33If she doesn't come by, then he will come to her school to find her.
01:03:375 minutes later, the door creaks open of Beeming's office and Coco enters.
01:03:40He orders her to come near and shows her the view from the window and asks her if she wants to go
01:03:45there. Coco is amazed by the view and wishes to go up there and take a look. He tells her he will
01:03:51take her there next time. He kisses her. She asks him when did all her thoughts on her face. He tells
01:03:57her no matter whatever she is thinking about, as long as she is obedient, there will be no ill treatment
01:04:03towards her. She assures him that she will be obedient. He tells her that Lai Nangong is still in the
01:04:09Gong Ling, and if she wishes to meet him, then he can ask him to come to the Empire place. He tells her
01:04:14he won't use his identity as his friend to affect him, but if she really cannot invite him, then this
01:04:20cooperation will be over. She complains deep down that Beeming wishes to persuade Lai Nangong, but they
01:04:27don't even have a chance to get close to him. He asks her if it's necessary to think too much about
01:04:32others when she's on his arms. He touches her face, and she wonders why so many girls hurry to
01:04:38approach a bad man like Beeming. He wonders that he has been too much obsessed with Coco these days.
01:04:43She asks Beeming if she can go. Suddenly, FeeFan's sister comes in and Coco gets hurt since she was
01:04:49right behind the door. She comes in asking what's wrong with him as he left FeeFan alone outside.
01:04:54Coco puts her hand on the wound and says it hurts. Beeming rushes over and asks her to not move.
01:04:59FeeFan can't believe he's showing such a worry expression towards Coco and asks him,
01:05:04who is she? And it's alright for him to play around women, but why does he have to do it in
01:05:09his office and why did he left FeeFan outside alone? He tells her it's none of her business and
01:05:13asks if there's more left to say so she can and go out. She asks him when will he marry sister FeeFan
01:05:19as she's already 25. As he puts medicine on Coco's wounds, he replies, when did he promise to marry
01:05:25FeeFan? FeeFan's sisters asks him how can he say that as FeeFan has been with him for so long.
01:05:32FeeFan intervenes saying that he should ignore what Daidai said as she also just began her career.
01:05:37So it's difficult for her to marry right now as well to which Beeming replies that even if she
01:05:42thinks about it later on, it'll not be with him. Daidai asks her sister that why is she afraid of
01:05:49Beeming. Daidai asks Beeming if he is afraid of Master, but he asks her to shut up otherwise he
01:05:54will get her out of the office. She replies that she does not mind being thrown out by him,
01:05:59but she cannot let sister FeeFan go through injustice. He tells Daidai that he does not
01:06:04like her and Coco knows the atmosphere is getting serious as Beeming seems really angry this time.
01:06:11Beeming asks FeeFan if she wishes to be his women knowing what his women's have to do.
01:06:15He lifts up Coco and tells them he will show what his women's have to do while Coco is terrified and
01:06:21asks him not to do it. He slams the door open and throws Coco on the bed. Coco wonders it's their
01:06:26business and she has nothing to do with it. So why should it be her who bears the consequences?
01:06:33He tears open her clothes and she curses Beeming. He is forcing her while she's crying and begs him to
01:06:38not do it to her. FeeFan cries and tells him she was wrong and will not have any wild wishes so he
01:06:44should not be so cruel towards Coco. He looks at Coco who's crying so much, so he backs off.
01:06:51He tells FeeFan and Daidai to not sit on the floor as it's cold. She wonders that she has never seen
01:06:56such a yeah and she asks him if the girl is okay. Daidai whispers to FeeFan to not sympathize with
01:07:03Coco because she was brought here with money. She knew what was going to happen with her.
01:07:08Daidai asks Beeming that she's hungry and if he can eat with them. Daidai wonders that it's so
01:07:14miserable to be Beeming's woman and she should find another man for her sister FeeFan instead of
01:07:19letting her be with a beast. Coco is on the street and depressed that when will the 200 nights end
01:07:25and she does not wish to stay with that bad guy for a single moment, she has no idea what she should
01:07:30do now. Suddenly a car stops next to her and it's Zijin. He asks her why is she here and sees that she's
01:07:37very scared. He asks her who bullied her and gets out of his car. He holds her and questions if it's
01:07:43Beeming. She tells him she's going to school and wonders if it makes any sense if she tells him about
01:07:48it. She wonders that Yi Beeming stepped her dignity on the ground and he tortured her to death and Zijin
01:07:55nearly killed her not too long ago. She wonders how can she guarantee he will not torture her like
01:08:00Yi Beeming. Goes on and he tells her she looks very unhappy and to go with him. At another location,
01:08:06he tells her the driver had something urgent to do so he left and tells her that even if she's
01:08:11really hungry, she should wait since the food is hot. He tries the food as well and it's very spicy
01:08:17for him. She does not understand why he brought her here when he cannot even handle spicy food.
01:08:23He asks her if she's staring at him because she finds him more good looking than Yi Beeming.
01:08:27Coco is deep down thinking that she has been so affected by Beeming that even if she knows Zijin
01:08:32has other purposes, she still feels grateful for the purpose and she tells herself she's really
01:08:38pathetic. When Zijin comes out of the bathroom, he's not feeling well and lies down on the bed asking her
01:08:44she should take a taxi back to the school and he'll pay her a visit tomorrow at school. She wonders
01:08:49why is he so fond of flaunting his superiority and it seems that he has acute gastroenteritis but still
01:08:56refuse to go to the hospital or let her inform his family. She knows that if she leaves him home,
01:09:01it'll be dangerous since his health can get worse, so she decides to stay with him as he falls asleep.
01:09:07Coco informs her friend that she cannot come to school and she tells him to take good care of Zijin.
01:09:12She also tells her that it seems like the young master of Mu's family seems to never have a formal
01:09:18girlfriend and he does not even have a female friend. Coco tells her to not think too much as she
01:09:25does not have such type of relationship with him. She thinks that no matter how hard she tries,
01:09:30she still cannot try telling Xiang Xiang about what happened between Bi cares about Fei-Fai Yu,
01:09:35but why did he still use her to stimulate Fei-Fai? She's talking a bath and wonders if she can be
01:09:40clean if she washes herself more. Suddenly, Zijin gets inside the bathroom and Coco yells at him to
01:09:46get out. She gets out and he suddenly faints on her. She has no idea what's going on as she asks him
01:09:51what's wrong with him. In the hospital, the doctor states that Zijin suffered from gastroenteritis
01:09:57after he ate sweet food. He will recover after a few days of recuperation. There's nothing to worry
01:10:03about it. Zijin parents are worried and Zijin's brother comes in asking how Zijin is doing.
01:10:09His brother name is Zichuan and parents tell him that Zijin is still sleeping. He looks towards Coco
01:10:14and asks her if she's the girl who stayed with Zijin alone in the hotel. His parents also stares
01:10:19towards Coco and Coco replies that there's no relationship between them and she just happened
01:10:24to meet him. And now that they're here, she will go back to school. Zijin's father asks Coco that
01:10:30which school she is studying in so he can get some days off for her. Otherwise, Zijin will ask for her
01:10:36and make trouble once he wakes up. He also thinks that Zijin is 27 years old and Coco looks less than
01:10:4220. Coco tells them they do not have to and she'll ask her classmate to ask for a leave for her.
01:10:48Zijin's mother asks Zijin's father to not scare Zijin's girlfriend. He asks Zijin's mom to take
01:10:54good care of Zijin. Coco is sleeping when Zijin's mom asks Coco to persuade Zijin as he is crying to
01:11:00be discharged from the hospital and has even pulled the needle out. Zijin tells his mom that it's none
01:11:05of her business. Coco asks him why did he remove the needle when he's ill. He asks Coco why is she
01:11:11still here? Zijin's mom replies and says Coco took care of him all night yesterday and it was almost
01:11:16dawn when they asks a room for Coco to sleep in. She suddenly loses her senses and falls onto Zijin's lap.
01:11:22His mom tell him that in order to take care of him she has become haggard. Zijin asks her if she's
01:11:28tired and if she had a good sleep. She tells him she's fine and if he's feeling better to which he
01:11:33rubs her hair and replies he's feeling much better. Zichuan replies that Zijin is still ill and he
01:11:39should stay for two more days before leaving and if he wishes to not want them to be there he and mom
01:11:45will leave them alone. Zijin's mom agrees and asks Zijin's to listen to his older brother and tells him to
01:11:51stay here for two more days before he leaves. He tells them it's none of their businesses and he's
01:11:57fine now so he can leave the hospital. His grandma asks Coco to persuade him. Coco tells him that he
01:12:03was badly ill last night and his illness may show effect again. It's better. He gently wipes the
01:12:10chocolate from her face and couldn't resist asking if it is delicious. She attempts to stomp her feet on
01:12:17his foot but stops midway when he warns her about his shoes costing ten thousands of yuan. He then
01:12:22makes fun of her for falling for such an obvious lie. He then inquires if Zijin brought here. He warns
01:12:29her that his name might sound tempting but isn't he aware that she is his woman. He then whispers into
01:12:34her ear that she has to go back to the empire house with him tonight. After all, he really misses her
01:12:39these days. But Coco is hesitant to return with him to his office because of what happened last time.
01:12:44Coco finds Zijin standing there. She realizes Beeming did it on purpose. She's nervous and
01:12:51wonders if he heard what Beeming just said. Even though nothing is hidden from him, she can't help
01:12:55but feel embarrassed. Zijin's eyes sparkling with anger as he demands Beeming to take his hand off
01:13:02her girlfriend's waist. Beeming whispers to her in the ear that he just called her his girlfriend.
01:13:08He is surprised that the woman who was still in his arms two days ago became someone else's
01:13:13girlfriend two days later. Zijin grasps Beeming's hand tightly and warns him not to go too far.
01:13:19Beeming warns him not to touch his woman if he doesn't intend to be his enemy.
01:13:23Zijin inquiries from Coco if she is all right. Their interaction fuels his rage. He turns around
01:13:30to leave but looks over the shoulder and reminds Coco that she has to go back to the empire house with
01:13:35him but Zijin clarifies that she won't go with him. The people are shocked that these two young
01:13:41masters almost fought for this woman and they're afraid that the news will spread all over the city
01:13:46tomorrow. Coco trembles in fear as she thinks about how he demanded her to go to the empire house
01:13:51tonight but she provoked him and now how will he torture her? Zijin assures her not to be scared
01:13:57as he won't let him bully her and ask her to come with him. He suggests that if she does some exercise
01:14:03then she can forget all this displeasure. They run together holding hands they stop when they reach
01:14:09backyard. Coco notices and she abruptly breaks away from his hand. Coco admits that she used to hope
01:14:16that someone could protect her from Yebeeming's harm but now she's sober and she knows no one can
01:14:21protect her out of this abyss. No one including him. He embraces Coco and asks for a chance to prove
01:14:29that he can. Coco aggressively demands him to let her go as she thinks she must make him give her up
01:14:34as no one can compete with Beeming and she cannot get him involved but Zijin is adamant on making Coco
01:14:41his girlfriend and demands for a fair chance to compete with him. He finally confesses his love for
01:14:47her. He leans in drawing his face closer for a kiss as he expresses his wish for her to become his
01:14:54girlfriend but she pushes him away. Determined he pulls her back gently. Coco pleads with him to let
01:15:01her go. He regains his senses and apologizes for losing control and emphasizes what he said was true
01:15:06so she should believe him and to let him help her. Coco replies she doesn't know she wonders if she can
01:15:12trust him. He says he will give her time and wants to go back now. Coco is lost in her thoughts. She is
01:15:18scared that if she trusts him and he breaks her trust she would not be able to trust any man again.
01:15:23that being the case she believes it is better to not have any hope from the beginning.
01:15:29When they finally gather at the mansion to cut the cake. She is surprised to learn that she is the
01:15:34same girl she had encountered in the market but Snow doesn't seem surprised and welcomes her. Lie.
01:15:41Nangong is also surprised that they both know each other. Coco inquires if she is Snow Nangong,
01:15:46the little princess of the family. She tells her that she never had intention of hiding it
01:15:51but she never asked her and requests for help in cutting the cake. She then introduces Coco to
01:15:57his grandpa as her friend and expresses her wish about Coco cutting the cake. Now that she desires
01:16:03it her grandpa requests Coco. She agrees to help and she then notices Beeming looking at her. She
01:16:08wonders why he came here. Zijin gifts her a harmonica that she is very delighted to receive and
01:16:13lets Zijin know that he didn't disappoint her. Beeming inquires if it means they disappointed her.
01:16:18She ensures him that she really likes the gift but she doesn't have a driver license.
01:16:24How is she going to drive? He suggests that the new friend she made should help her in driving.
01:16:31She then diverts his attention back to her only to find her chatting with Zijin.
01:16:36She looks at his emotionless eyes but reminds herself there is no need to be of Ye Beeming
01:16:41as he has no right to interfere in her private life. It's almost as if Beeming can read her mind as he is
01:16:47determined to show her whether he has a right to her or not.
01:16:53Later Coco and Snow are together in her room. Coco confronts Snow about hiding the truth from her.
01:16:59Now she is worried her family might mistake this coincidence as her impure motive but she assures
01:17:04her that she will explain for her. She then jumps with excitement as she tells her that Big Brother Yee
01:17:09said she can't drive the car but Coco can and recommends going on a drive next time.
01:17:15She reveals that she doesn't have a driver license and then inquires why she addresses him as Big Brother
01:17:21Yee. She replies that he is the first born of the Beeming family. Second born is brother Shun
01:17:26and this one's brother Lianchen and the last born is sister Dai Dai. She teases to get off her as she
01:17:33is heavy. She thinks to herself that Dai Dai Beeming is the one who had accompanied Feifon. Snow refuses to
01:17:39get off her as she smells just like her mother. Lianangong recommends not disturbing them as it is rare for
01:17:45Snow to be happy. They overhear Snow requesting Coco to marry her brother Lianangong so she will not have
01:17:52to leave her in the future. A nervous Lianangong explains that it is just a child's babble and it
01:17:57has nothing to with her. But Beeming reminds her that he is famous for spoiling her sister. Lianangong raises
01:18:04his hands in defeat, accepting that he is no match for her. He also thinks to himself whether the
01:18:09encounter between Coco and Snow was a coincidence or her intention.
01:18:15Beeming enters the room.
01:18:18He finds her laying on the bed and questions if it's her hobby dressing like this in front of the
01:18:22men. He reaches for her but suddenly the memory of him tearing her dress reaches her mind and haunts
01:18:27her. Before she could realize, she slaps him across the face. When she gets her senses back,
01:18:33she realizes Beeming just wanted to zip up her dress. No emotions apparent on his face as he
01:18:38questions if she slapped him. She starts panicking. Snow intervenes and tries to explain on Coco's behalf
01:18:44but he assures her that he is just joking with her and she is just helping him kill the mosquitoes.
01:18:50But Coco knows from his tone and awful smile that he is not joking. Lianangong lifts Snow on her
01:18:56shoulder and makes an excuse that Grandpa is looking for him. Snow protests to not bully her friend and
01:19:01accuses her brother of deliberately taking her away who denies the allegations. She then expresses her
01:19:07desire for Coco to become her sister-in-law. But Lianangong reminds her that he is never going to
01:19:12marry or have a baby all his life. She advises him to grow up and that people have to marry and start
01:19:18their family. He reminds her he is just 11 years older than her. And isn't it better that he just
01:19:23protects her for the rest of his life? She warns him she will solely hold him responsible if Coco is
01:19:28bullied. Meanwhile, Baming orders Coco to get up and go to the Empire house with him. She refuses,
01:19:35thinking she can't give him a chance to humiliate her anymore. He lifts her up in his arms and inquires
01:19:41if she is not. She pleads with him not to touch her and she will pay him back. He inquires how she is
01:19:47going to pay 2 billion or if she is considering asking Zijin. He touches her lips. He has heard that
01:19:53she and Zijin were alone in the backyard for so long it slightly annoys him. She bites his finger
01:19:58but he doesn't seem. It's Zijin inquiring if Coco is there before Coco could answer.
01:20:03Bei Ming covers her mouth. He says it's really late and he needs to drop her back to school.
01:20:09He reaches for the door handle but stops, bringing to mind that he can't break into Snow's bedroom and
01:20:15he just wants to confirm whether Coco was taken away by Ye. Coco is not with her, but with Bei Ming.
01:20:21Bei Ming asks if she wants to go out now. Coco rushes to him and says no as she is scared of
01:20:27being seen by Snow like that. She agrees to go back to the Empire house with him. He asks her if
01:20:32it is voluntary, she replies with a yes. She then requests for his help and not let Snow see her
01:20:38like that. He picks her up and she inquires what he is going to do to her shock he is planning on
01:20:43jumping from a window. While Zijin knocks on the door asking her if she is there, Coco thinks that if
01:20:49they jump, they might die but at least it will save her from this foreseeable embarrassment.
01:20:55Bei Ming instructs her to hold him tight and jumps out of the window.
