So glad Miles Wei is leading again right after his cute drama, Perfect and Casual.

5 July 2021: It apparently premieres on 10 July 2021.
Episode 1
This drama has a very cute start. The lead girl is just too adorable. Lennon Sun as Xiaobao is a little adorable child. And to add to these two adorable beings, the male lead is Miles Wei, who is Mr Adorable in suits and he was wearing a darkish fitted three-piece suit, which made him extra adorable. All adorable.
Now for the not-so-adorable thing. I watch this drama on youtube. I think it was in Vietnamese which was google translated into English. It really barely made sense.
But as the leads were so adorable, you sort of fill in the blanks of what was going on.
He Qiao Yan is the CEO of his company. It looks like he is a single father to a child with autism. Not sure.
The child is extremely intelligent but prone to throwing tantrums. Because of his temper, carers and doctors do not last in the job.
The boy was in his father’s office which he turned upside down. The secretaries and assistants did not know how to deal with the boy.
Qiao Yan arrived with his son still in a major strop. QiaoBao was standing on top of his desk.
Meanwhile, Qin Yi Yue had just found out that her boyfriend had been cheating on her.
She ended up drinking with her flatmate who later told her that her ex-boyfriend was about to be awarded for the project he had presented to Qian Yan’s company.
Yi Yue drunkenly hailed a taxi to go to the award ceremony because 90% of the data comes from her thesis.
Anyway, she was in the lobby of the company when she saw a boy becoming hysterical as he was surrounded by many employees looking down at him.
Despite still being drunk, Yi Yue crouched down to the frightened boy and comforted him.
The boy immediately took to her. The boy does not talk but he has little cards with him which serves as his talking pieces.
Yi Yue gave the boy a little pumpkin toy she wrapped in a green handkerchief which the boy appreciated.
Anyway, she left the boy who had calmed down to his father’s assistant who had come looking for the boy.
She went to look for her ex boyfriend.
She mistook Qiao Yan for her boyfriend and pushed him to a dark room and told him off for stealing her data from her thesis.
Qian Yan turned on the light and finally, Yi Yue realised that she was haranguing the wrong man.
She left hurriedly,
Meanwhile, during the presentation, Qiao Yan was on the podium ready to give out the award when he remembered what Yi Yue said. Her research was stolen. So there and then Qian Yan said that there was no winner which shocked his audience who especially came to support the winner.
Episode 2
Little Xiao Bao was getting hysterical at the hospital daycare when one of the therapists gave him a toy car to play with.
Yi Yue heard the commotion and found little Xiao Bao very agitated.
Again, he calmed down when he saw her.
Qiao Yan came to pick up Xiao Bao and pointedly told the boy not to talk to auntie strangers.
Yi Yue was so insulted by being called an auntie.
She just doesn’t want to see him ever again.
Unfortunately, Xiao Bao does and she was growing fond of the cute boy.
Qiao Yan tried to do everything to make Yi Yue become the permanent doctor of XiaoBao but Yi Yue said no.
Qiao Yan did not get to be a CEO without being persistent so he persisted. He stalked her and a good thing too because he saved her from things.
Anyway, Yi Yue realised that Qian Yan was not too bad.
Yi Yue noticed that it would be Xiao Bao birthday soon. When she broached the matter to the child, he became even quieter and really sad.
It turned out that he suffers from PTSD when they had a car accident 5 years ago. He must be only a few months old because Xiao Bao doesn’t look a day over 5 years old. 😜
Yi Yue suggested to Qiao Yan to give Xiao Bao a birthday party to get over the trauma.
So the two busily prepared for it. Qian Yan was driving Yi Yue home when he noticed she had fallen asleep.
He took out the other pair of the latest prototype of the Lover’s Bracelet and put it on her wrist. This woke her up and asked what was he doing.
He did not give her a chance for explanation but push the box and manuals for the watch to her and told her to read it.
Poor Yi Yue woke up with flu. Qiao Yan immediately called her about it. She was a bit surprised at first that he knew.
He said that he got the information from the bracelet. He told her to take some medication.
Yi Yue can’t take medication as she’s allergic to flu/cold medicines and she does not want to fall asleep as she had a clinic that day.
After a long day, she went home to relax in the bath.
She suddenly did not have much energy to get out of the bath.
Coincidentally, Qiao Yan and Xiao Bao were on their way to her.
As she did not answer her phone, Qiao Yan hurried to her apartment and had to try different combinations to her pass-coded door.
She was just falling deeper and deeper into her bath when….
Episode 3
Birthday wish mom
Stranded and camping
party proposal
Episode 4
Poor Yiyue was having a bath wearing her 15-carat diamond engagement ring which she accidentally dropped in a bathroom miscellaneous container. She did not notice this and thinking that it went to the toilet bowl which her flatmate, Ruowei had just flushed.
Yiyue was having nightmares about how she was going to pay for the ring which according to Qian Yan was a He Family heirloom designed by craftsmen from the Swedish Royal Family.
Qian Yan told Yiyue that they were engaged for real and will get married for Xiao Bao.
Yiyue was surprised because it was supposed to be a pretend one to make her ex realised that Yiyue could get a better partner than him.
The playboy Wen Gu and Ruo Wei met.
Ruo Wei decided to teach him a lesson for his womanising ways. He got drunk and Ruo Wei had to take him to a hotel.
The next morning Wen Gu woke up alone with a few hundred Yuan left by the bedside table. He felt so used. LOL
Yiyue’s old friend Ning Fan came back from abroad. He saw Yiyue reaching a kitten stranded on a tree. She dropped her bracelet
They happily chatted
Episode 5
Meeting the parents
Episode 6
Xiaobao got ill but now can talk and had not stopped calling Yiyue mommy.
Episode 7
Yiyue finally agreed to a marriage, though it is a contract marriage, with Qianyan lasting for a year and two months.
Yiyue moved in with Qianyan and Xiaobao.
She told Qianyan that they have to show conjugal love so Xiaobao would feel secure.
This got so hilarious because they were both feeling awkward.
I love Hi Yuxian, she is so adorably cute.
Episode 8
Yiyue immediately found out that living with Qianyan was a different kettle of fish. It was so different living with Ruo Wei in their warm apartment.
Her new life was too regimented.
Yiyue was treated like an employee who cannot really be trusted especially when Qianyan found out that the school she suggested for Xiaobao was recommended by Ning Fan.
Their situation got so bad so she moved out.
Xiaobao sneaked out and followed her.
Episode 9
Yiyue had an accident at work when she was trying to pacify a patient’s mother. She ended up falling on the stairs. Though Qianyan saw it, he was too late to grab and save her.
Instead of apologising, the mother pretended that she was bullied by the incompetent Dr Qin Yiyue.
Episode 10
Qianyan sorted the deluded mother’s case.
While YiYue moved back to the mansion as she had hurt her leg.
YiYue and Qianyan held an uneasy truce and agreed that their priority was Xiaobao.
Despite Xiaobao being the priority, Yiyue found time to look after Qianyan when he had slight man flu.
He was a demanding patient but as Ruo Wei said, Yiyue had already the hots for Qianyan.
Yiyue found an old photo of Qianyan with friends and a girl who seemed he was closed to.
Qianyan knew that she saw the photo and said not to get curious about it. It was the past.
Yiyue, however, said that he must look for the girl because she had never seen Qianyan so happy than in the photo.
Episode 11
Qianyan was loving family time with Yiyue and Xiaobao. He started reorganising the living room to make it young-family-friendly. He even replaced their table with a smaller circular one because dining is more than food, it is about communication as he said.
Qianyan finally agreed for Xiaobao to attend Sunshine Elementary School. He threw himself into preparing a backpack for Xiaobao which had a camera and panic button encapsulated into it.
Yiyue tolerated it knowing that Qianyan was really nervous to let Xiaobao out into the world by ‘himself’
He was so embarrassed though with the tradition of the child kissing the mom and then the mom kissing the dad and the dad kissing the child back as a family circle ritual before a child goes into the class.
Aunt He came to visit and she was showed how loving Qianyan and Yiyue to each other.
Aunt He knew that it was a fake marriage for the benefit of Xiaobao but she told her husband that Qianyan has a crush on his fake wife.
Nevertheless, Qianyan must marry the Lin girl for the sake of the He
Episode 12
The reason about the accident.
Qianyan invited Yiyue to the 30th anniversary of Heshi Group.
They practiced waltz and modern dance.
During the gala, everyone was having a convivial time.
Qianyan and Yiyue were dancing away and even Xiaobao was having fun, dancing with Uncle Wen Gu.
But suddenly in walked Lin Wei in a rather dramatic fashion.
Episode 13
Auntie He encouraged the trolling of Yiyue online.
Qianyan started having sweet photo opportunities with Yiyue to to show that they have a happy, loving stable life.
Auntie He, however, made it impossible for Qianyan to keep away from Lin Wei by hiring her as the model of their bracelet.
Episode 14
Qianyan was busy with Lin Wei and had not time for both YiYue and Xiaobao.
Xiaobao got upset; he pulled a prank on Lin Wein by putting a plastic caterpillar in her tea.
Lin Wei was shocked she splashed her drink on her immaculate dress.
Qianyan told off Xiaobao which Yiyue was rather excessive. Then he told her off as well.
In a huff, she took Xiaobao to visit her parents.
Her father was laid off with hay fever, her mother said.
Anyway her mother asked her why she showed up with just Xiaobao. She immediately concluded that Qianyan and Yiyue were having a bit of a domestic.
There was a knock on the door. Sure that it was Qianyan, Yiyue was disappointed to find Secretary Zhong instead.
Her disappointment immediately turned into a panic when her father collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital.
The doctor said that her father was in a critical condition and needed an operation sooner rather than later.
Unfortunately, the operation was very tricky and can be dangerous.
Ruo Wei turned up.
Yiyue asked her to bring home Xiaobao to his father as she had to stay in the hospital as she has to look after both her father and mother, who had also collapsed from the stress.
She was alone in the corridor with the doctor who told her that she cannot not make a decision immediately because the longer they wait iller her father could become.
She was upset and out of it when Xiaobao hugged her. She saw both Xiaobao and Qianyan who took the paper works and read through it.
He made phone calls to get the best doctor in China.
Both Yiyue and her mother were grateful.
Episode 15
Yiyue’s father’s operation was a success.
Episode 16
Yiyue ended her relationship with Qianyan.
Auntie He found out that Yiyue might have been the one who saved Xiaobao in an accident that is why Xiaobiao was drawn to her.
Auntie He and Mrs. Lin were pressuring Qianyan to marry Lin Wen.
He turned it down saying that he was not selling himself for the business.
Episode 17
Yiyue was recording a song for Xiaobao so he doesn’t miss her too much. Her conversation with Ning Fang also got accidentally recorded as well.
Ning Fang said that Yiyue was in love with Qianyan and that is a good thing. At least she had the feeling even if it was not reciprocated.
Qianyan found the recorder and played it while Yiyue was with him. They tussled for the recorder but they both heard what she said.
Qianyan did not really say anything which got more embarrassing for Yiyue.
Anyway, the next day Yiyue and Ning Fang went to the Mountain Villa for children’s activity.
Qianyan took Xiaobao to the Mountain Villa and started competing with Ning Fang who told him to make everything clear with Yiyue otherwise stay away from her and allow Ning Fang to court her.
Qianyan told him that Yiyue is his wife.
Anyway Auntie He realised that Yiyue was the doctor who saved Xiaobao when the car driven by Qianyan crashed.
Qianyan had been looking for the mysterious girl ever since the accident.
Episode 18
Wen Gu showed Qianyan a photo that looks like a picture of his dream girl, the kind girl who helped during the accident.
Qianyan agreed with Wen Gu that the picture does look 80 percent the same as the one he has.
He said that the girl in the photo was not known to him but he considers her as his girlfriend, his first girlfriend.
He said that every time he looks at the photo of the anonymous girl, he feels strange. He then left Wen Gu and went to Yiyue with his new contract.
He told her that the new contract will be for a lifetime and they will be a new relationship because he can’t do without her in his life.
And it looks like she feels the same because then ended up kissing passionately. They were later interrupted by Xiaobao but they told him the happy news.
Poor Ning Fang was absolutely gutted when he heard and saw that Qianyan and Yiyue are officially together. Poor guy.
Meanwhile, Lin Wei asked Qianyan to make them official. She talked about marriage.
Qianyan told her that business and his personal life do not go together. He won’t marry for business and told her that their business cooperation should be dissolved if she wanted.
Lin Wei was not used to being turned down so she issued a threat to Qianyan but he was not bothered.
He met up with Yiyue to officially sign their contract.
She said that before she sign anything she has one condition.
Qianyan said that he would buy her a car and a house or she could have any of his cars or take them all but Yiyue said that her one condition was for him to tell her his real feeling.
Poor Qianyan was absolutely clueless. His assistant tried to give him a clue but he just could not tell her that he loves her. It was not his nature to be vocal about his innermost feelings so Yiyue ended up refusing to sign the contract.
Wen Gu advised him to take her on a date.
Yiyue looked lovely in a dress and heels for a perfect date but instead, he took her fishing which she was not really happy about.
Despite her grumbling about the mosquitoes and everything, the date still ended rather romantic when she fell on him and he pounced on her for a snog. Awww. That was cool.
Episode 19
Xiaobao was helping Qianyan to let his feelings out and tell Yiyue that he loves her but he just couldn’t do it, not until he found Yiyue with his aunt.
His aunt was bullying Yiyue to give up on Qianyan. She said that Yiyue should leave Qianyan because he must manage the business left to him by his dead brother.
Qianyan told his aunt that he had been doing the business wholeheartedly but he had always pointed out that he has his own life to lead and now he wanted to make a family with Yiyue and Xiaobao.
He then advised his aunt to butt out of their lives.
He was so relieved that Yiyue was not upset by what his aunt said.,
She said she actually found him extraordinarily handsome when he was telling off his aunt.
Awww. Finally, Qianyan told her that he likes her. Really likes her. Awww
Meanwhile, side story of Lin Wei. She is a drug addict to depression pills and went to Ning Fang for another prescription. Her story was that her overbearing mother was forcing her to do everything so that she can end up marrying Qianyan.
But Lin Wei said that it was impossible as he was now in a relationship with the doctor. Her mother then stole the bracelet project from Heshi Group.
Most of the employees connected with the bracelet project were poached by the Lin Group which is now causing Qianyan enormous headaches.
Yiyue saw Aunt He being bullied by a man who turned out to be Mr Zhang, the driver who Qianyan was looking for.
Mr Zhang said rather mysteriously that it was Aunt He’s fault.
Aunt He confessed to Yiyue that the accident which killed Qianyan’s brother and sister-in-law was caused by Qianyan himself.
Because of the guilt, he has partial amnesia.
Aunt He again begged Yiyue to leave Qianyan because she was making him remember the painful truth of five years ago. Aunt He said that she was scared of what this might do to both Qianyan and Xiaobao. She added that she knew the girl who helped during the accident was Yiyue.
Poor Yiyue was in a quandary. And when she asked Qianyan about his brother, he was willing to talk about him but he was talking about the drawing of the girl that he can’t remember.
Yiyue was beginning to believe the aunt about Qianyan’s amnesia.
And as the usual drama trope, this will now lead to a misunderstanding.
Episode 20
Seriously, this drama has been so cute but why make it so stupid very near the end?!!!
The script does not make sense.
Yiyue was supposed to be a psychologist, so she can more or less read people and their motives and yet she allows Aunt He to play her like a gormless toy.
She told Auntie that she will willingly leave Qianyan and Xiaobao because she loves them. So like a good little sheep, she broke up with Qianyan.
But he would not allow a break-up. Poor him, Yiyue is not quite right in the head. She continues to torture them both and little Xiaobao.
Wen Gu is a numbskull. He was trying to be solicitous to Ruo Wei but what he did was creating more emotional upheavals for her.
Wen Gu brought her mother and brother to the city to live in Wen Gu’s family villa with Ruo Wei.
Ruo Wei went ballistic at Wen Gu because she had been doing her damnedest to escape her family who treats her as a cash cow.
Episode 21
Yiyue volunteered to go to an out-of-town seminar to get away from Qianyan.
But she was surprised when there was a knock on the hotel door. It was Qianyan with Xiaobao who had come to have dinner with her.
Poor Qianyan was trying to keep his promise to have dinner and breakfast with her despite already being beleaguered at work due to the bracelet project.
Finally, Wen Gu seemed to have grown up and taking his responsibility to the company seriously.
Now, Ruo Wei is after him.
Yiyue said hurtful things to Qianyan so they break up. She only said that she was going to Germany to study.
She then pushed him to attend Lin Wei’s shindig.
Lin Wei tried to kiss him but he pushed her away telling her to have some respect for herself.
Lin Wei had another meltdown, so Ning Fang came to the rescue and allowed her to stay at his house while he vacate and stays somewhere else.
Qianyan found out from Mr Zhang that he was driving the car that killed his brother and sister in law.
Episode 22
Aunt He told her him everything about it including Yiyue’s part on it. Now he feels guilty for killing his brother and he thinks he was not worthy to be a father to Xiaobao.
He went to Yiyue’s voyage party and over hotpot, he told her that he was letting her go, he is accepting the break-up, and wished her well for the future.
Yiyue was taken aback by the turn of events and was rather upset that he sever their connection. Stupid girl! She was unreliable! LOL
On her way to the airport the next day, she heard that Qianyan was missing. She called Aunt He who confessed that Qianyan knows everything including her role after the crash.
She found poor Qianyan like a broken man. He was out of it.
When He regained a little bit of sanity, he told Yiyue to bugger off. LOL. They have broken up.
Now, she has to chase after him and make him less insane.
At the end of this episode, he is still mentally unstable. Ning Fang warned Yiyue that it could be permanent.
Episode 23
Xiaobao finally called Qianyan Daddy and that was all Qianyan needed to get his memory back.
He wanted to give both Xiaobao and Yiyue with a happy life.
Ever the kind man, Ning Fang was arranging the best doctor for him to get Qianyan back but somehow Qianyan’s memory is resisting despite not having anything wrong with his neurons and brain.
Yiyue told him that it was early days.
Yiyue was on her way to see Xiaobao at his nursery when she was kidnapped by a couple of men and loaded to a car.
Xiaobao was able to record the incident and called Qianyan immediately.
Qianyan told Xiaobao not to worry.
Xiaobao gave Qianyan the number plate of the car that took Yiyue and with the help of the couple’s bracelet, Qianyan got to Yiyue but it was traumatic as he had an accident.
When he woke up he was in the hospital and Yiyue was looking at him.
She was also in hospital clothes. She assured a worried Qianyan that she was Ok.
She then revealed what happened. She was kidnapped by AM Group which is a rival of Heshi.
AM Group was also involved in the accident five years ago because Qianyan’s brother had some anomalies perpetuated by AM Group and he was ready to report them to the police.
AM Group bribed Mr Zhang, the driver of Qianyan’s brother to get a car with faulty brakes for the He Family. Mr Zhang made some excuse so he won’t drive the car. Qianyan drove it instead. There was a truck that was coming towards them to finish them off, without a brake their car rolled over into a ravine killed his brother and sister-in-law.
Meanwhile, Wen Gu proposed to Ruo Wei.
Ning Fang was making do with Lin Wei.
Episode 24
Qiaoyan, Yiyue and Xiaobao were playing basketball when Xiaobao threw the ball but accidentally landed on Qiaoyan’s head.
He had an out-of-body experience (?) where he had a conversation with his brother.
His handsome brother told him that the accident was not his fault. In fact, he and sister-in-law are grateful to Qiaoyan for taking care of Xiaobao. He said that Qiaoyan is now Xiaobao’s father.
His brother is finally at peace, he and sister in law had gone into the light.
When he came too, he told Yiyue what had just happened.
Xiaobao laid down in his shoulder and called Qianyan Daddy and Yiyue Mommy. Awww
Lin Wei rebelled against her controlling mother. She was chucked out immediately. She then went to live with Ning Fang, who was quite happy and very accomodating.
Lin Wei told Ning Fang that it was about time for him to let go of his crush on Yiyue and he had to put away his prized photo of him and Yiyue.
Ning Fang agreed. But he became rather said when Lin Wei told him that Paris wanted her and she was leaving the next day or so.
Qioyan and Yiyue are totally loved up. They had now registered their marriage so they are officially husband and wife.
Qiaoyan told her that he had called her senior and agreed to her going to Germany for a year.
Yiyue changed her mind. She doesn’t want to go anymore.
Qiaoyan convinced her to go which made her upset that he wanted her to leave.
He then said that the reason why he hurried them to registered their marriage so she could be his forever.
So she flew to Germany and every month Qiayan and Xiaobao would go visit her.
A year later, Qiaoyan and Xiaobao were excited to meet her at the airport but she called to say that she had to stay for another month in Germany.
The two guys were so down when they finally got home.
Xiaobao did not want to eat and then suddenly a voice asked why Xiaobao doesn’t want to eat.
Yiyue and Qiaoyan kissed for the longest time. Full on kisses that made Xiaobao blushed.
Meanwhile, Wen Gu and Ruo Wei were caught by the chairman in a rather intimate moment.
The father told Wen Gu to leave the room as he would like to speak with Ruo Wei. The father told Ruo Wei that Wen Gu falls in love easily and then drop whoever the girl was when father told him to do so.
So he was going to test his son if he was really serious about Ruo Wei.
Wen Gu passed the test. He readily gave up everything he owns including his house, car, watch and company position to be with Ruo Wei.
The father said that if they marry he will buy them the biggest house but Wen Gu disagreed. He said that it was up to him to buy the biggest house for his wife.
It was the wedding.. of Yiyue and Qiayan. Xiaobao was especially cute as he conducted the wedding vows for his mom and dad.
Then Yiyue threw the wedding bouquet which was caught by Ning Fang.
He was rather bashful and a little sad as he had not girlfriend. Then in walk a beautiful Lin Wei.
Happy Ending all around.
