Someone.

I didn't think you'd listen to gossip.

Please, leave me, okay?

Okay.

If my leaving you makes you happy,

VII go.

My dear Fenyu.

A day apart from you

feels like a year.

Though you tear up my notes, I'll keep writing.

What's happening lo me'?

I'm unhappy and anxious here.

I used to find it so oppressive there.

But now I dream of its tranquility.

That's because you're there.

Thank you for alerting me. Otherwise -

It's what a godmother does.

Miss M0, you know?

Mr Jin is nearly back from overseas.

Help me think of how...

to keep Beibei away from that scound rel.

Why not visit Madame Du in the country?

Separate them.

Puppy love - comes fast. goes just as fast.

In a month or two, she'll have forgotten him.

That won'! do.

Xie Yifan is there. That's even riskier.

Don'! worry. Xie Yifan is in the oily.

Really'?

That's good. I could speak lo his grandmother.

You know, I called Fem/u the other day

and warned her to beware of Xie Yifan.

For a good woman to fall into his clutches

it'd be like being bitten by a dirty blowfly.

A blowfly?

It's time I made my move.

This blowfly will bite

that cow's little darling.

We're both onto the same prey now.

And the other one?

I can'! work her out at all.

Is that so'? Are you in love with her?

Love?

My whole life, I've only ever loved you.

Careful.

If you \ove, you \ose.

Of course.

She should be losing her heart by now.

Young Dai.

This is China's future Cezanne.

Beibei's former art teacher.

The owner of Golden River,

Mr Xie Yifan.

How do you do, Mr Xie.

How do you do.

Beibei will be staying with Mr Xie's grandma.

He may be able to help you.

Sure.

Then - thank you so much, Mr Xie.

I'll take my leave.

Fenyu, you seem pre-occupied of late.

I'm fine.

Be at ease in the world.

The heart like a floating cloud.

The mind like a flowing stream.

How lovely this place is!

It'll be fun to spend a few days here.

Mrs Zhu, Miss Beibei, this way.

This way.

Madam Du!

How are you?

We're putting you to so much trouble.

If possible. I'd love to hear you sing.

Sure. we'll do that soon. it'll be fun.

Fenyu, are you well'?

This luminous monk's robe.

We give to you.

This precious bowl and staff.

We give to you too.

Wenzhou.

Beibei.

Wenzhou. I miss you so much.

Me too.

Your poor Juliet, she's Suffering.

Please comfort her for me.

Sure.

Thank you.

I'll comfort her.

Please tell her

I'll call again tomorrow at this time.

Have her-

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Wenzhou. don't be sad.

I'll cheer up your Beibei.

How should I comfort her'?

You want me to hold her?

Okay. I'll do my best.

You heard that.

Wenzhou asked me to hold you.

I promised him I'd make you happy.

Hello?

Jieyu.

Fan.

I've good news for you.

Godmother!

What's wrong, Beibei?

Hello?

Miss Mo!

Beibei's refusing to eat or drink

and won'! some out of her room.

I really must thank you.

My pleasure.

Listen - whatever you do, keep mum.

Don't panic. I'll be there right away.

Thank you.

Miss Mo, Beibei is out of control.

I am so ashamed. Whatever should we do?

It'll be fine. Let me talk to her first.

Beibei worries you're in love with her.

Really'? I'll go see her right now.

How caring of you.

True.

Hold on a sec.

What can I do for you?

The light.

The light'?

It's not working again.

I'll have a look.

It's been ages, Miss Du.

Miss Mo, you're here too.

Mr Xxe always speaks so highly of you.

I thought you hated me.

Let me go.

Please spare me.

Slop avoiding me

What are you afraid of?

I know you love me.

Master, master.

Miss Du has packed up and gone.

Mr Xie - please wail a moment.

I'll te\I\ Miss Mo you're here.

Mr Xie.

Mr Xie.

Mr Xie. sir!

You just barge into a woman's bedroom?

Is this the fruit of a Western education?

So I came running back.

Besides. I'm only exercising my rights.

Your rights?

What right is that'?

My right of being your man.

You've lost the bet.

Wait for me in the living room.

Renunciation of Late Husband's Estate.

Miss Du, you wish to forego

your late husbands estate?

Very well.

I advance, she retreats.

I slop, she comes closer.

This proper lady is really something.

I almost told her I loved her.

Oh, is that so?

She's extremely sensitive.

If it weren't for Fenyu.

I might never have met such a woman.

You're in love with her.

No I'm not.

You are.

She's touched your heart.

Impossible.

I was only playing the lover

to conquer her.

If what you're feehng isn't love,

there is no such thing as love.

All I've done has been for you.

She was just our wager.

If she's just a wager,

then you're only halfway there.

Abandon her and you'll have succeeded.

Then you can some and collect your reward.

What about your new loverboy?

When Du Fenyu has been dumped. he'll go too.

Hello.

Hello, Xie residence.

Hello, is Mr Xie there?

May I ask who's calling?

It's Du Fenyu.

Hello Miss Du.

Please wan a moment.

Okay.

Master, Miss Du is on the phone.

Say I'm not here.

Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

Miss Du, Mr Xxe has gone out.

Oh. If he comes back

please pass on the message.

Tell him I'm waiting for him.

All right.

Hello, wait -

and say the dumplings are wailing too.

Certainly.

Fan, when did you fall in love with me?

Careful!

You know.

You've given me courage

to leave the past behind.

If I could be by your side every day,

passing the time with you like this,

I'd be so hEPPY-

And if I were gone? What then?

If you were gone. I'd die.

I love you.

I love you too.

Hong, Master insisted I bring him here.

I'm sorry, Mr Xie.

It's really very late.

Miss Mo has already retired.

Please go home, Mr. Xie.

Mr Xie.

Mr Xie, you can't go in.

Mr. Xie! Mr Xie. you mustn't go in.

Happy to see me?

Do you know what time it is'?

Go home.

I'm sleeping here tonight.

So it's you.

Mr Xxe, thank you for looking after Beibex.

Slay here.

Fan, you need lo leave.

Did you know...

Beibei's in hospital?

Didn't Miss Mo lel\ you?

Is that true?

So it is.

You...

What's with you?

You're not yourself.

Is this how things should be?

Fenyu.

Fenyu.

Fenyu.

Miss Mo.

Okay.

Cai Lu.

Where are we going?

Um, to the place where Mr Xie is waiting.

Has he eaten?

Probably not.

Miss Du, what're you doing here?

Come.

Why are you here'?

This is my home.

Please, have a seat.

Smells great.

Did Fan call you here?

Where is he'?

He's in there sleeping.

I'll wake him up.

Fan.

Fan.

Your proper lady is here.

What?

You called her.

Fenyu, Fenyu.

Have you forgotten'?

Tell me what's going on.

Let's finish this.

What do you mean?

Let's split up.

I'm wed of you.

Fan, say you're joking.

I said I'm tired of you.

You're tired of me'?

You were the wager in our bet.

Who's 'our'?

What sort of wager?

It was about your chastity.

If I got you to bed, that finished it.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you doing this to me?

Tell me why you're doing this?

Are you even human?

I was always like this.

Didn't you say you loved me?
