l like him; he doesn't like me.

Want him to love you - jump with him.

Lil white rabbit, open the door.

She's drunk.

Lil white rabbit, d'you love Big Grey Wolf?

Grey wolf, grey wolf, l love you.

What's the point of money?

Can't buy love.

What's the point of love?

Can't buy a house.

Yang Shoucheng.

l'm telling you.

l can marry you very very soon.

Our... house deposit... got it

This... this is your room.

l promised your cousin.

You'll always have a nest.

We have a home. See?

A home!

''SOSO search:
YE LANQlU''

Most places do a one-month trial.

Why's this ''Shelter'' thingy only one week?

What can they test in a week?

The boss gave me one week...

to solve a problem of the heart.

lf l solve it, l get the job.

What kind of problem is it?

Company rules -

client confidentiality. Can't say.

Fine. l won't ask.

Come home early. l'll take you out to dinner.

''Where are you?'' - Ye Lanqiu

''l need to knock off early today.''

''Why?''

''Dinner with my girlfriend.''

''Ha, l'll come too.''

Tiger, give it to me straight.

Ruoxi, it's risky business.

She's Shen Liushu's wife.

After the Ye Lanqiu ''bus-seat story'' went viral,

Situo's stocks fell six points.

Does Shen look worried?

With such a cool customer,

you should be very wary.

lf we're caught planting the story...

he could do anything.

l'm not out to provoke the rich and powerful.

l just want to help this woman.

Or you wouldn't be Chen Ruoxi.

l'm off.

Ma'am. Telephone.

30 strokes - carry on.

Sure.

Hello. Oh, Ms. Chen.

Okay. See you tonight.

Go to that agency. l want to hire someone.

Hire someone?

To look after me after you go.

l want a nice, tidy young girl.

But it's got to be your choice.

When you find one, send a text.

That guy's hot.

l'm twenty years old.

l have a question.

ls there a lady of the house?

lt's not for me.

lt's my boss. She's a woman.

So it's not for you.

lf you hire her but the boss is unhappy -

What then?

Then come with me now and meet her.

That's against the rules.

She needs to come in and bring lD.

Satisfied? lf so give me your lD.

Register, then you can take her home.

l need your lD. Not his.

Aren't you hiring her?

We're together.

Together. So he's your boyfriend.

May l ask your name?

lt's Ye.

May l pick her up next Monday?

We can't promise.

Ye - you're Ye Lanqiu, aren't you?

And if l am?

lf you're really Ye Lanqiu,

then we can't serve you.

l'd like to serve Ye Lanqiu.

You're not out this door yet.

Be good. l'll get you a nice home.

Why can't you help me?

ls there somewhere quiet...

where we could speak in private?

Sure. Come.

Yang Shoucheng, c'mon.

You go. l'll wait outside.

Get out.

No.

Get out. Hear me?

lf you don't leave,

- l'll scream ''Thief!''

- You'd dare? l've got your million.

You don't believe me.

l'll count to three.

One

Two

Your wife's calls and texts, all here.

Boss, know who she's in contact with?

Hello?

ls this Chen Ruoxi?

Yes. Who's calling?

My wife has found a confidante.

Can't do dinner again tonight.

Something's come up. lnstead,

meet you at 8:
30, usual place. Well catch a film.

You know the place?

Have a seat. Sister -

l couldn't help you this time. My treat.

Young Chen, you're a decent person.

You know who that last caller was?

Me.

lt's proof of my love for Shen.

Because of Ye Lanqiu

l did something that stupid.

l care so much about him

but he no longer cares about me.

Worse than infidelity, he blanks me.

He never even tried to explain about Ye.

So you're not gonna let this go.

l used to play piano

in a hotel lobby. He'd come and listen.

At first,

he was so good to me.

Really wonderful.

You've been eating Sichuanese.

Yes. So what?

You were eating it with Chen Ruoxi.

l did nothing so wrong

to merit being spied on.

Why were you with her?

You wouldn't believe me.

Mo Xiaoyu, is this a game?

Just watch me crush her.

You're a powerful man.

You could crush anyone you chose to.

We're on the same page at last.

l'm still very curious.

What do you two talk about?

You.

You have my full attention.

l told her

to let you off the hook.

What?!

To let you off the hook.

Mo Xiaoyu

You asked her

a little reporter, to let me off the hook?

you've stepped over the line.

l forbid you to contact her again.

l already reactivated your credit cards.

Glad you're back.

l worried - didn't eat a thing all day.

You worried about me?

You're worried for yourself.

You're afraid if l die you'll be blamed.

You're right. lt's blackmail.

l even got myself a gravesite.

Look.

What the heck?

Wake up to yourself!

This is all on account of a rich old man?

You want to die, fine.

Then do it.

Listen, l still have two days.

Best do it under my watch.

So, die. Go ahead.

l'm telling you

hit me, pay the price.

Come, collect your money.

You gotta tell me why you're firing me.

You know you're breaking the contract?

You really want to know?.

l fear it'll damage your self-respect.

Tell me.

You're a coward.

You wanted a reason

why l'm letting you go.

Will that do?

Two more days.

Hold on.

Listen, you really hurt me just now.

Compensation for emotional trauma.

Where we going tomorrow?.

How do you know l still want you?

Didn't you just pay me in full?

We'll go someplace even more crowded.

Don't look so nervous, okay?

Someplace rural.

Bye-bye.

Cousin.

She's pissed off.

For me?

To pay off a debt.

Keep it safe. Don't tell anyone.

What're you two up to?

Something happen, Yang Shoucheng?

Didn't we agree to meet at 8:30?

You've never stood me up before.

Where were you?

Who were you with?

A woman.

Yang Shoucheng, listen to me.

lf you're telling me

you're in love with another woman.

then stop right now.

She's my client.

She's not well.

Love life's a mess, wants to top herself -

Am l supposed to do nothing?

Here's my pay.

l still have two days.

lf she stays alive, my work is done.

And if she dies?

l won't let her.

lf you weren't such a good man,

would l love you so much?

Don't get up.

l wish l could stay in bed.

Bye. Be good.

She's not missing.

She's eloped.

At least these photos tell the world

Ye Lanqiu's not your mistress.

There's something you don't know.

She borrowed a million yuan from me.

Even l lose my head now and again.

''The hero falls before the beauty''

Zhang Mu, find her, tell her she's fired.

Change the office locks.

l want to see the sunrise tomorrow.

We'll be gone overnight.

The number you have dialled cannot

be reached at the moment...

Where do l sleep?

Relax. There's a place for you.

Leave me - l'm getting changed.

l forgot my phone. Lend me yours.

The number you dialled is busy...

Yang Shoucheng.

Come with me.

''Ye Lanqiu says they're a couple''

The number you have dialled cannot be reached at

the moment...

''Yang Shoucheng''

''Home''

You there, Yang Shoucheng? Call me back.

Hello. Who's this?

ls that Jiaqi?

Where are you?

Where are you? l'm out on a job.

Hurry home. l left my phone in the bathroom.
