In today's express episode they both started missing each other after his most recent visit. Each time he attempts to call her he is interrupted by some sort of medical emergency. She keeps asking the receptionist if she got any calls or mail from him.

Yes, they started the marriage using each other but they are also starting to have real feelings for each other. He is trying to break down the walls she's put up and that is making her begin to thaw a bit. He also knows exactly why she agreed to marry him and is cool with that while at the same time hoping that the marriage will become a real union. She seems to still be feeling the burn of her ex's rejection and afraid to be vulnerable again to another man.

I think he was initially attracted to her because of her likeness to Yan but as he grows more attracted to and intrigued by her that's less of an issue. I also suspect that he may be feeling more guilt about Yan's death since he couldn't save her than missing the love they shared. The night he got drunk was the anniversary of her death.

In addition, he's starting to seek ML's help in trying to understand her better and in tomorrow's express will start taking more active steps to pursue his wife.

I am really enjoying their story. As I've previously said, it's interesting to see the contrast between these two couples who both married with an agenda.

Spoiler alert re: these two from latest express episode

"Both ya’ll are sex hungry. Everybody wins." LOL

I love their scenes, too. But I also think he knows he's hooked; that's why he keeps following her.

I don't understand. I think they were both fine with "using" each other but are now starting to have feelings for each other that go beyond their strong sexual attraction, so now every little slight stings a bit. They get a little closer and then boom! something else happens. In the end, though, they will be happy, I predict.

Both Fang Mu Jing and Fei Ni are very stubborn but they will both thaw soon, I believe.

I absolutely agree. He is so completely unsuited for that PR job. What will happen when he has to actually produce something in the office and cannot do it? He needs to pack up his semi-literate wife and that nice furniture and move back to where he was before where he actually took initiative and made an important contribution.

Seeing the BFF stumble over the article made me even more infuriated with the brother's in laws. They are the worst parents ever. Their son can't find a job on his own and they failed to educate their daughter completely.

On the brighter side, I was so happy when Fei Ni came home and her Fang Mujang had already prepared a celebration of the broadcast of what was actually her work and also delivered a Shakespeare soliloquy for her. I'll take brilliant, skilled but impulsive over dull and uninspiring any day. He's such a good husband!!!

My fellow My Drama Listers: I am an elegant lady and have never had a physical fight in my entire life, but as fans of the Chinese drama arts and sciences, please help me teleport back to 1970s provincial China so I can beat the crap out of Feng Lin. Her behavior in episode 15 and ESPECIALLY at the start of episode 16 may fill you with the urge to join me.

Xièxiè

And all of the neighborhood children loved it, too!!!

Please ask Viki to also air!!!

I so agree. I think though that Xia Lei kind of liked our FL for a hot second but prioritized the friendships.

And the TV coupon wasn't entirely fake. He just needed to build the TV, lol, and she even helped!

I agree. He will continue to surprise her and she is starting to loosen up a bit. It is also very important to view her through the lens of the times, which is very different than now.

I do, too!!!

The ambush happened because Feng Lin is a raging bitch who is looking for any and every reason to find fault with Fei Ni and trip her up. The marriage is legitimate whether they're sleeping together or not. Feng Lin is accusing them of using a legal marriage to secure the unit that was previously hers. Ms. Xu doesn't give a fig about Fei Ni's sex life. And even in marriages where there is actual love from the start, young brides back in the olden days sometimes needed some time before they felt brave enough to have sex.

They are also actual educated grownups with established careers and previous relationships, so I fully expect their romantic bits to be further along. It's an interesting contrast between the two sets of newlyweds.

I need an English version of that crazy boba tea song!!!

I didn't realize he'd been accepted. I know she wanted him to go to college more than he wanted to go. He was freaking out about his ability to handle the coursework and she said she'd help.

He adores her!!! From day one. And they are very, very close friends.

Yes, you're right. But that will soon change. It also doesn't help that they have such opposite personalities and approaches to life. She's regimented and more like his sister, while he's a free spirit.

Have faith, my dear. She will soon start bonding and seeing him as a real partner.
