00:00Wynne never imagined she'd see her husband being this gentle with another woman.
00:04Not like this.
00:05It was her first day staying home to focus on getting pregnant, as Dylan had convinced her.
00:10She was lounging on the sofa scrolling through her phone when a trending local post caught her eye.
00:15The headline stung.
00:16I told my uncle I was struggling to find a job, and he had his wife step down to make
00:20space for me.
00:21The poster's avatar was a white ragdoll cat.
00:24Username, ChloeNoMisery.
00:26Attached was an official hire letter clearly stating,
00:29Due to our creative director's maternity leave, Chloe is appointed to the position on a temporary basis.
00:35Wynne's finger froze on the screen.
00:37In the corner of the letter was Dylan's personal seal, one she designed herself, had carved, and given him as
00:43a wedding gift.
00:44She knew that stamp better than her own name.
00:46Just a coincidence.
00:49Dylan had always been strict about separating work and personal life.
00:53Years ago, when their startup was nearly broke, she'd secretly taken freelance design jobs to keep things afloat.
00:59When he found out, he'd find her three months bonus, and nearly fired her, all for breaking company rules.
01:05She'd been hurt then, but also respected his integrity.
01:08Rules came first for him.
01:09Always.
01:10A man like that would never bend the rules to let someone take his wife's place just because a friend
01:15asked.
01:15Then the next photo hit her, like a bucket of ice water dotted, was a screenshot of the poster chatting
01:20with Uncle Dylan,
01:21whose profile picture was a cat looking down, exactly like Dylan's WeChat avatar.
01:26Uncle,
01:26I was so nervous for the interview today.
01:29You didn't even come check on me.
01:31I'll be there soon.
01:33Everyone here is so nice, but your office is so far.
01:37I want to be closer to you.
01:39I'll have a desk added on your floor tomorrow.
01:41Wynne's breath caught.
01:43She remembered three years earlier, when they'd first moved into the new building.
01:47She brightened and suggested,
01:49Dylan, can we move my office to your floor?
01:52We could have lunch together.
01:54Wynne, we have to keep up appearances.
01:55Your creative director, I'm CEO.
01:58People will talk if we're too close.
02:00She never brought it up again.
02:02She understood him, trusted him, and even felt proud of him for keeping his distance.
02:06It just proved he was a solid, responsible leader.
02:10But now, he'd told another woman he'd add a desk right next to her.
02:14Her phone buzzed.
02:15A message from a subordinate.
02:17Director, word from the CEO as you're pregnant and taking a year off.
02:21There's a new hire in design today.
02:23Dot, she went right ahead and took your seat.
02:25What in the world is going on?
02:26Wynne didn't reply.
02:28She stared at the post, at the familiar seal.
02:31Her mind went blank.
02:32She didn't even hear the front door open.
02:37What are you sitting here for?
02:39Haven't you eaten dinner?
02:40Wynne looked up at him.
02:41She'd known this man for 23 years.
02:44Preschool through high school, college, starting a business together, from school uniforms to wedding vows.
02:49She'd thought she knew him better than anyone.
02:50Dylan walked in with a takeout bag, frowning when he saw the empty dining table.
02:55Dylan set the bag down, his face unchanged.
02:58People at the company say you took sick leave for me and hired someone to replace me.
03:02Are you not going to explain?
03:04I was about to tell you.
03:06Chloe is an old friend's daughter.
03:08She just graduated and can't find work.
03:10Since you're trying to get pregnant, let her fill in for a while.
03:13Just for a while?
03:15You were the one who brought up trying for a baby.
03:17You said we're not getting any younger.
03:19I agreed.
03:20I dropped three big projects and handed over all my clients.
03:23And now?
03:24You put someone straight in my seat without even telling me.
03:27Wynne.
03:28Why are you overreacting?
03:29She's just a temporary replacement.
03:31Your spot will still be here when you're done.
03:34Wynne glanced at the label on the takeout box.
03:36Baihuan Zhu, a trendy new restaurant she'd begged him to try months ago.
03:40He'd refused.
03:41Why bother?
03:42We're not kids chasing fads.
03:44She opened Chloe's latest post.
03:45A photo of the exact same dishes captioned just the two of us.
03:48Uncle is the best.
03:49The food in the takeout bag was identical.
03:51Her throat tightened.
03:52Her eyes sting.
03:53But no tears came.
03:54Dylan paused while taking off his coat.
03:56She likes it.
03:58I was in the area.
04:00In the area?
04:01You told me there are no good restaurants near the office,
04:03that you eat in the cafeteria every moon.
04:05But you're in the area for her?
04:07Wynne, can you stop being so sensitive?
04:10She's just a junior.
04:11I'm helping her because her father helped us years ago.
04:14Why are you jealous of her?
04:16I'm not jealous of her.
04:17I'm upset with you.
04:19You said she's just filling in temporarily, but the messages say,
04:23have her cover for now.
04:24I'll talk to Wynne.
04:25Is that how you talk about me to other people?
04:27Full name?
04:28Like a stranger?
04:29Her father is Arthur.
04:31Three years ago, he saved us from being bought out.
04:33I owe him.
04:34Now she can't find a job, so I'm helping her out.
04:36It's common courtesy.
04:37Courtesy?
04:38Buying her gifts, complimenting her selfies, eating and shopping with her.
04:42That's all courtesy?
04:43Wynne!
04:44What do you want from me?
04:46I want you to answer me.
04:47Do you have feelings for her?
04:49Anything more?
04:50Look at you.
04:51You're no different from those paranoid wives.
04:53I've had a long day.
04:55I don't want to fight.
04:56If you can't calm down, we'll sleep separately tonight.
04:59Wynne, don't forget who stood by you from nothing to where we are now.
05:02Some words, once you say them, you can't take back.
05:05The door closed.
05:08Wynne stood alone in the empty living room, staring at the shut door.
05:13In that moment, she realized something was truly broken.
05:18She just pretended not to see.
05:20Wynne sat on the sofa all night.
05:22The sky turned from black to deep blue, then pale gray.
05:25She didn't turn on the lights or go to the bedroom.
05:28Her phone lit up and dimmed over and over.
05:30Masochistically, she scrolled through Chloe's posts again and again, from the first to the last.
05:35The posts were full of things she'd never known.
05:37Chloe complained about not having enough spending money, with screenshots of transfers from Dylan.
05:42Five figures each.
05:43Not huge amounts, but enough for all the new dresses he posted.
05:47Wynne remembered a coat she'd wanted the month before, hesitating for two weeks before putting it back.
05:52Dylan had seen the screenshot and said,
05:54You still have one from last year?
05:56You still have one from last year.
05:57A selfie in front of a carousel, with a hand in the corner, no wedding ring on the ring finger.
06:02It was Dylan's hand.
06:03Wynne would know it anywhere.
06:04He'd taken off his wedding ring two years after they married, saying it was inconvenient at work.
06:08She'd said,
06:09It's okay, I'll keep it safe.
06:10And she never took it out again.
06:11In more chat screenshots, Dylan told Chloe,
06:14You took great photos.
06:15You're so talented.
06:16When Wynne sent him carefully shot travel pictures, he only replied,
06:19Mmm.
06:20The thing that hurt most captioned one of Chloe's posts,
06:22Uncle says I'm more sensible than I seem.
06:24Dylan had left a smiley face in the comments.
06:26Wynne thought back to her days alone in the countryside five years ago.
06:29That year, the company's capital chain broke down.
06:32Without telling Dylan, she took a coach alone to visit the parents of Raymond, a potential investor in the company.
06:36The elderly couple had eccentric tempers.
06:39She waited on them for two whole months, making tea, pouring water, doing the laundry and cooking meals,
06:43and was even splashed with chicken soup at one point.
06:46The day the old man suffered a heart attack, she carried him alone down from the sixth floor to the
06:49hospital,
06:50nearly tumbling down the stairs.
06:51Raymond had finally been moved and invested enough to save the company.
06:55When things turned around, Dylan asked,
06:57Why did help us all of a sudden?
06:59Probably because our company has good prospects.
07:02Dylan nodded and didn't ask again.
07:04When he later found out part of the truth, he hadn't been touched.
07:08He'd frowned.
07:09How could you contact an investor behind the company's back?
07:12That's against the rules.
07:13In that moment, Wynne had understood.
07:15In Dylan's world, principles always came before feelings.
07:18Six in the morning, the guest room door opened.
07:20Dylan walked out, fully dressed, and froze when he saw Wynne on the sofa.
07:25Her hair was messy, eyes red and puffy.
07:28Lips chapped like a plant beaten by wind and frost, wilting away.
07:32This wasn't who she was.
07:33Wynne had been the brightest star in school.
07:36She studied design, won international awards, and had three top job offers before graduation.
07:40But Dylan had said,
07:41Wynne, let's start a business together.
07:42You handle the creativity.
07:44I'll run the operations.
07:45We'll make something big.
07:45She'd turn down every offer to build something with him, from nothing.
07:49The first two years, they lived in a basement.
07:51No heat in winter, no air conditioning in summer.
07:54She designed for the company and took freelance jobs on the side to pay the bills.
07:58Her hands had cracked, burned, been cut dozens of times by utility knives.
08:02But she'd been happy, because Dylan would come home late at night, pull a hot sweet potato
08:07from his coat, and say,
08:08Saw this on the way.
08:10You love them.
08:11Later, the company grew.
08:13They had more money, a bigger house.
08:15The sweet potatoes turned into fancy takeout.
08:17Late nights at home turned into, I won't be back tonight.
08:20She told herself this was the price of success, and she'd accepted it willingly.
08:23Until that day, she realized, he wasn't too busy.
08:26He just didn't make time for her.
08:29Win, I thought about it all night.
08:32If you want a divorce, I respect your decision.
08:36But, I need you to think carefully.
08:38If we divorce, you'll have nothing.
08:40The house is mine, pre-marriage.
08:42The car is in my name, you own 0% of the company.
08:44For the past five years, I've paid for everything you've spent.
08:47What did you say?
08:48Winnie's voice was barely a whisper.
08:50It's the truth.
08:50You've been a housewife for five years with no independent income.
08:53Even if you sue, you won't get much alany.
08:56Winnie, be realistic.
08:58Where would you go if we divorce?
09:00Winnie stared at him, hard.
09:02She suddenly wanted to laugh.
09:03And now, he told her, you have nothing.
09:06Winnie stood legs numb, but she held herself steady.
09:09Are you done?
09:11I'm done.
09:12Good.
09:13She pulled a business card from her desk drawer.
09:15From the CEO of the international luxury brand she'd turned down five years earlier.
09:20Dylan, you're going to regret this.
09:23Dylan didn't reply.
09:24He grabbed his keys and headed for the door.
09:27Pausing at the threshold, he said,
09:29Oh, and Chloe starts today.
09:30I'll have your office cleared out for her.
09:32Pack your personal things by the weekend.
09:35Winnie closed her eyes.
09:36She picked up her phone and dialed the number on the card.
09:39Hello?
09:40Is that Edward?
09:41It's when you offered me a position five years ago.
09:43Is it still available?
09:44There was a two-second silence, then a warm laugh.
09:46Winnie, of course it is.
09:48You finally came to your senses?
09:50I have.
09:50When can I start?
09:51Anytime.
09:52We have a global launch in Italy next month.
09:54You can join and sign your contract while you're there.
09:56Okay.
09:56She hung up, went to the bedroom, and opened her closet.
10:00She pulled out a dusty suitcase and started packing.
10:03Clothes, documents, a passbook.
10:05Less than 30,000 yuan in savings.
10:07Money she'd pinched little by little from Dylan's allowance over five years.
10:11She'd been saving it for their future child.
10:13Now, it wasn't needed.
10:15Two hours later, she dragged the suitcase out of the neighborhood.
10:17People hurried by.
10:19No one noticed her.
10:20She stood at the crosswalk waiting for a cab.
10:22Her phone buzzed.
10:23A message from Dylan.
10:25Winnie stared at the words and suddenly laughed.
10:27The cab pulled up.
10:28She got in and blocked Dylan's number in WeChat.
10:30The city streets blurred past the window.
10:32She watched familiar buildings fade away, feeling no nostalgia.
10:36Only a strange calm.
10:37Like a fish stranded on a beach for too long.
10:39Finally caught by the rising tide.
10:40She was swimming back to the ocean.
10:42Win's palms were sweaty when she settled into the airport waiting area.
10:45This wasn't her first trip alone.
10:47When she was younger, she'd traveled to a dozen cities alone to meet clients,
10:51revising plans on trains at three in the morning.
10:54But back then, no matter how far she went,
10:56she knew someone was waiting for her to come home.
10:58Now, no one was waiting.
11:00The boarding announcement sounded.
11:02She picked up her suitcase and took one last look at the city she'd lived in for 28 years.
11:08The morning light was breaking.
11:11Fog wrapping the skyline like a faded old photograph.
11:14She thought of the first time she met Dylan, at age 5.
11:18On the first day of preschool, all the kids were crying except her,
11:21sitting quietly in the corner drawing.
11:23Dylan was led in by the teacher, face serious, like a little adult.
11:26The teacher told him to sit next to her.
11:28He glanced at her drawing and said,
11:30You draw well.
11:31That was their first words.
11:32For 23 years, their lives had been tangled vines.
11:35Preschool to high school, college to startup, friends to lovers, lovers to husband and wife.
11:39She thought the vines would wrap around each other forever, until their leaves withered and their lives ended.
11:45But vines rot.
11:46They get hollowed out from the inside.
11:48She suddenly remembered her mother's words.
11:50Winnie, Dylan's a good kid, but his heart is cold.
11:53You can't warm it.
11:54Mom, he just doesn't know how to show it.
11:56Now she knew her mother had been right.
11:58He wasn't incapable of showing affection.
12:01He just didn't want to show it to her.
12:02The plane took off, the roar swallowing all thoughts.
12:06Wen leaned against the window, watching the city shrink below the clouds until it vanished.
12:11In a dozen hours, she'd land on another continent, another city, another language, another climate.
12:17She'd have to rebuild her life from scratch, all alone.
12:20It would be hard, but she had to do it.
12:24Milan, Italy.
12:25A driver held a sign with her name when Winnie walked out of the airport.
12:28She got in, watching foreign streets pass by, ancient buildings and luxury storefronts blending like a moving painting.
12:37The hotel, arranged by the brand, was near Milan Cathedral.
12:42The room was small but elegant.
12:43She could see the Madonna statue on the Gothic spire from the window.
12:47Before she could unpack, her phone rang.
12:50It was Dylan's mother.
12:52Win, what's going on with you and Dylan?
12:54He called and said you're getting divorced?
12:56What happened?
12:57Mom, you can ask Dylan about this.
13:00I did!
13:00He won't say anything, just that you want to leave.
13:03Winner, don't be rash.
13:04You've been together all these years.
13:05You can't just throw it away.
13:07Mom, you've seen how I've treated Dylan all these years.
13:10But love takes two people.
13:12One person can't hold it up forever.
13:14Is there someone else?
13:16I knew it.
13:17That boy's never been close to people.
13:19I thought he was different with you.
13:22Winnie, if you've made up your mind, I won't stop you.
13:24But remember, you'll always be my daughter-in-law, divorce or not.
13:28Thank you, Mom.
13:30She hung up and stood at the window, watching Milan's sunset.
13:34Golden light coated the ancient buildings, the whole city wrapped in amber.
13:37She thought of the first time she met Dylan's mother.
13:40In college.
13:41Dylan had brought her home for dinner.
13:44So this is Winnen.
13:45Dylan talks about you non-stop.
13:47I'm sick of hearing it.
13:48Mom, I never mentioned her.
13:49Shush.
13:51He's tough on the outside, but soft inside.
13:54Winnen had believed her.
13:56It took her more than 10 years to realize.
13:58Some people are never soft inside.
14:02On Win's first day at Creferia, she sat in the conference room for eight hours straight.
14:06Not in a meeting, studying documents.
14:09She had one month to learn the brand's history, product lines, market strategy,
14:13and all ongoing Asia-Pacific projects.
14:15Her new title, senior design consultant, Asia-Pacific, reporting directly to regional president Faye.
14:21Faye was a sharp woman, in her 40s, with short hair, speaking plainly.
14:25She'd asked only three questions in the interview.
14:27Do you still design?
14:29Can you still pull all-nighters?
14:31Can you still trust people?
14:33Yes.
14:34Yes.
14:35Yes.
14:36Start tomorrow.
14:37In her first week, Win practically lived at the office.
14:41She poured all her energy into work.
14:43Not to run away, but because she needed to prove that without Dylan,
14:47she was still the award-winning designer, still capable of standing at the top of her industry.
14:52She arrived at 7 a.m., left at 11 p.m.
14:55She ran for half an hour after lunch to keep her energy up.
14:59Back at the hotel, she fell asleep immediately.
15:02She doesn't watch the news, didn't reply to friends,
15:05didn't answer her mother's calls begging her to reconsider.
15:08You're not.
15:08But I won't ask.
15:10Just a reminder.
15:11Design needs inspiration.
15:13And inspiration needs life.
15:15Lock yourself in the office, and your work will be dead.
15:18Dylan had said something similar early on.
15:20He told her to go out more, see the world.
15:23Then the company got busier, she got more tired, and she never had time.
15:27Eventually, she stopped wanting to.
15:30She turned herself into a machine, one that revolved around Dylan.
15:34Now, the machine had finally stopped.
15:37The next day, Wynne took the day off.
15:39She visited Milan Cathedral, climbed to the top to overlook the city, went to La Scala for a ballet, stood
15:45in front of a Caravaggio painting at the Brella Gallery for half an hour.
15:48It was a day of beauty and contemplation.
15:50In the evening, she sat at a sidewalk cafe and ordered an espresso.
15:55Sunlight filtered through plain trees onto the white tablecloth.
15:58The elderly cafe owner asked in broken English where she was from.
16:02Where are you from?
16:04The UK.
16:05The UK? Nice.
16:07My daughter married a British guy.
16:10He's a really good cook.
16:11Wynne smiled.
16:12It was the first real smile she'd had since arriving in Milan.
16:16A month later, at the Asia-Pacific quarterly meeting, Wynne presented her first proposal.
16:23It was called Reborn.
16:25Inspired by a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, she designed a line of accessories and bags.
16:30Colors faded from dark gray to bright gold.
16:32Rough matte leather paired with smooth satin, symbolizing the journey from struggle to bloom.
16:37Faye stared at it for a long time.
16:39The whole room held its breath.
16:41Faye finally said,
16:43Wynne, are you designing a brand collection or writing your own autobiography?
16:49Both.
16:50Do you think consumers will pay for a designer's personal story?
16:54No.
16:56But they will be moved by honesty.
16:58The heart of this collection isn't my story.
17:01It's every woman who's hit rock bottom and stood back up, finding her light again.
17:05Faye studied her for a few seconds, then smiled.
17:08Great.
17:09Refine the proposal and send it to the board.
17:12After the meeting, Faye stopped her and handed her a coffee.
17:15Wynne, do you know why I waited five years for you?
17:19Wynne shook her head.
17:20I saw your graduation project in college, the cocoon series.
17:24It stunned the entire panel.
17:25I knew then this girl would go far.
17:27Faye paused.
17:28I was disappointed when I heard you gave up everything to get married.
17:32But I understood.
17:34I'm glad you're back.
17:35Your worth isn't defined by anyone else.
17:38Wynne gripped the coffee cup and nodded hard.
17:41That night, alone in her hotel room, she unlocked her phone and scrolled to the bottom of her photo album.
17:48There were the few photos she and Dylan had together.
17:52The most recent one was from their wedding anniversary two years ago.
17:56Back then, she thought it was a testament to their love.
18:00Only now does she realize it was the grave of that love.
18:03She deleted the photo.
18:05Not out of hatred for him, but to set herself free.
18:09In her first winter in Milan, Wynne ran into someone she knew.
18:13She'd worked late.
18:14It was raining when she left the office.
18:16She stood at the door waiting for a taxi when someone tapped her shoulder.
18:19Wynne, it really is you.
18:22Ethan?
18:23I thought you'd forgotten me.
18:25Wynne had almost.
18:26Ethan was her senior in college, two years above her.
18:29He'd moved to Europe to study after graduation and vanished.
18:31They hadn't been close, but he'd helped her greatly.
18:34Her graduation project, Cocoon, had gotten its first investor through him.
18:38What are you doing in Milan?
18:40I have a design studio here, just down the street.
18:42You?
18:44I work at Crawferia.
18:46Faye's company?
18:47Impressive.
18:48They found a late-night Chinese restaurant nearby.
18:50The rain poured harder outside.
18:52They were the only customers.
18:53A hot bowl of hot and sour soup arrived, warming wind to her bones.
18:57You've lost so much weight.
19:00Been busy.
19:01Heard about your marriage.
19:02It was all over the class group back home.
19:04Then nothing.
19:05I got divorced.
19:07Congratulations on being single again.
19:08Who gratulates someone for getting divorced?
19:10I do.
19:11Leaving the wrong person is definitely worth celebrating.
19:14Rain pattered outside.
19:15The restaurant lights were warm and dim.
19:18Wynne looked at Ethan and thought,
19:20Maybe the city wasn't all strangers.
19:23After that, Ethan became one of Wynne's few friends in Milan.
19:27His studio focused on independent furniture design.
19:30Small, refined, with clients across Europe.
19:33He was quiet, but always knew what to say.
19:35He never asked about her past or tried too hard.
19:38On weekends, they'd go to flea markets for vintage finds.
19:43Or sit by the canal at a cafe for hours.
19:46Ethan brought his sketchbook and drew what he saw.
19:49Wynne sometimes brought her designs, working side by side, occasionally exchanging notes.
19:55Why did you come to Europe?
19:57Because no one here knows me.
19:59I could start over.
20:01Me too.
20:02They smiled at each other, understanding without words.
20:06Milan winters were cold, but Wynne got used to them.
20:09She learned to order coffee in Italian.
20:11Wrap her coat tight at against the wind.
20:14Sleep alone in an empty apartment.
20:16She also learned not to think about Dylan.
20:18Not on purpose, but her busy life and new goals
20:22washed away the old traces like a tide.
20:25The Reborn collection passed the board unanimously.
20:28Wynne was officially appointed Asia-Pacific Design Director.
20:32Leading the line's development and launch.
20:34It meant she'd travel frequently between Milan and major Asian cities.
20:38The day before she left, Ethan took her to dinner.
20:42At a rooftop restaurant with a view of Milan Cathedral.
20:45To a perfect launch.
20:47Thank you.
20:49Wynne?
20:50Hmm?
20:50If you ever get tired of flying, there will always be a place for you in Milan.
20:56Okay.
20:59The Asian premiere of Reborn was in Shanghai.
21:02Wynne returned to China, stepping into the city she'd once known so well, yet barely recognized.
21:07In just six months, the city seemed both unchanged and completely different.
21:11The launch was the next night.
21:12She couldn't sleep.
21:13Outside the hotel's Florida clear windows, the Bond lights blazed like a star river.
21:17She remembered years ago when she and Dylan first came to Shanghai, crammed in a youth
21:20hostel bunk bed, staring at the neon lights and promising to buy an apartment there someday.
21:24Later, they did buy one, but never went together again.
21:27Her phone vibrated.
21:28A text from an unknown number.
21:30Wynne, I'm in Shanghai.
21:32Can we meet?
21:33No signature.
21:34But Wynne knew who it was.
21:35She didn't reply.
21:36The next day, the launch went perfectly.
21:38Reborn stunned the crowd.
21:40Media and industry insiders praised it nonstop.
21:42Wynne stood on stage, surrounded by flashes, smiling calmly and gracily.
21:46Afterward, she was removing makeup backstage when her assistant came in.
21:49Director Shen, someone's here to see you.
21:51Who?
21:51He says his last name is Lou.
21:56I won't see him.
21:57He's been waiting at the door for two hours.
22:00Then let him wait.
22:01Half an hour later, Wynne left through the side door.
22:04Stepping outside the hotel, she saw Dylan standing in the cold wind.
22:07He'd lost a lot of weight, wearing a black overcoat with the collar up, face pale.
22:11Streetlight fell on his face, and Wynne thought for the first time, this man was a stranger.
22:15Wynne.
22:16She stopped, didn't turn around.
22:18You've lost weight.
22:20It's none of your business.
22:25Wynne.
22:27Ten minutes.
22:29Just give me ten minutes.
22:31Wynne looked at his hand on her wrist, then up at him.
22:33Dylan, let go.
22:34Wynne, I know I was wrong.
22:35You always say that.
22:36Last time, the time before that.
22:38But you never really thought you were wrong.
22:40You just didn't want me to leave.
22:42Dylan's face looked miserable under the streetlights.
22:45I sold the company.
22:47All the money's in your account.
22:50Wynne, I don't want the company.
22:51I don't want anything.
22:53I just want...
22:54Want what?
22:55Want me to go back to being your free housekeeper?
22:58Let you keep telling me don't be ridiculous while you sweet-talk other girls?
23:00No!
23:01I never touched her.
23:03Nothing happened between Chloe and me.
23:05I just helped her find a job.
23:06Just looked after her.
23:07Just looked after her.
23:08Just helped her find a job.
23:09Just bought her things.
23:10Just ate with her.
23:11Just complimented her.
23:12Just let her take my office.
23:14Dylan, do you know what's the saddest part?
23:16It's not what you did or didn't do with Chloe.
23:18It's that you still don't understand why you were wrong.
23:21You were wrong because you took all I gave you for granted.
23:24You were wrong because you cared more about a small favor to someone else than my sacrifices for you.
23:28You were wrong because you never saw me as your equal.
23:30You think giving me money in a house is love.
23:32But tell me, do you know what I like to eat?
23:34What I'm most afraid of?
23:35What I want for my birthday?
23:37You don't know any of it.
23:38Dylan stood there, like all his strength had been drained.
23:40Wyn, I...
23:41Don't say anything.
23:42Goodbye, Dylan.
23:43She walked to a waiting taxi and opened the door.
23:46She paused.
23:47Wyn, I'll change.
23:49Wyn didn't look back.
23:51I don't want you to change.
23:52I wanted you to be that way all along.
23:53The door closed.
23:54The taxi merged into traffic.
23:56Wyn watched his shrinking figure in the rearview mirror and finally closed her eyes.
24:00Tears still fell.
24:01Not because she still cared, but because she was finally sure.
24:04She didn't love him anymore.
24:06After the Shanghai launch, Reborn exploded across Asia.
24:10In two weeks, sales hit a new record for the brand in the region.
24:14Wyn, you proved yourself.
24:16I just proved I made the right choice.
24:19She hung up and saw a new WeChat message from Ethan.
24:22A photo of sunset in Milan, golden light on the canal, beautiful as a painting.
24:27Milan is beautiful today.
24:28When are you coming back?
24:30Next week.
24:32I'll pick you up.
24:33Winnie didn't say no.
24:35Ethan was there when she landed back in Milan.
24:38He wore a dark gray sweater, standing at Arrival's holding a bouquet of white doziesies.
24:44Winnie pushed her luggage cart out and saw him right away.
24:50How did you know I like daisies?
24:52You stared at a pot of daisies at the flea market for a long time last time.
24:56You remembered?
24:57I remember everything you say.
25:00And including when you said your favorite place is the top of Milan Cathedral.
25:04Because the wind is strong and blows all your troubles away.
25:07Winnie'd suddenly felt her nose sting.
25:10Not from being moved, but because this is what it feels like when someone remembers your little likes.
25:15This is what it feels like to be truly cared for.
25:18Days passed gently.
25:20Reborn stayed popular.
25:21And Winnie got busier.
25:23But no matter how packed her schedule was, she made time for Ethan on weekends.
25:27Sometimes they ate Chinese food.
25:29Sometimes went to a concert.
25:30Sometimes just walked along the canal without saying a word.
25:34Ethan was a perfect listener.
25:36He never interrupted her when she spoke.
25:38Never pushed when she was quiet.
25:41He just stayed quietly with her.
25:43Like a tree, sheltering her from wind and rain without making a sound.
25:48Once, Winnie suddenly asked,
25:50Aren't you anxious about your family pressuring you to get married?
25:54My family doesn't pressure me.
25:55Lucky.
25:56Not really.
25:57They don't ignore me.
25:59They just don't care.
26:00He said,
26:01My dad's a painter.
26:02My mom's a sculptor.
26:04They spent their whole lives on art.
26:05They think marriage is a waste of time.
26:07So I've always known I'm responsible for my own life.
26:11Winne envied that family.
26:12Her parents cared.
26:13But in their way, girls don't need to work too hard.
26:16Just find a good man to marry.
26:18She'd done exactly that.
26:19And what happened?
26:20Dylan was the perfect man to outsiders.
26:23Successful.
26:24Non-smoking.
26:26Non-drinking.
26:27No bad habits.
26:28But he didn't know how to love her.
26:30Winne was quiet for a long time.
26:31Then suddenly asked,
26:32Ethan, do you know how to love someone?
26:34Ethan looked at her.
26:35His gaze gentle.
26:36I'm learning.
26:36From who?
26:38From you.
26:39Watching you go through so much,
26:40still willing to believe,
26:42still willing to start over.
26:43I think you're very brave.
26:45Winnie looked away, flustered.
26:47I'm not as good as you say.
26:49You are.
26:50That night, she lay in bed, unable to sleep.
26:53She began to seriously think,
26:55what did she feel for Ethan?
26:57Three months later,
26:58Winne received an email from Dylan's lawyer.
27:00A formal divorce, assets, footing plan.
27:03Dylan had transferred all proceeds
27:05from selling the company,
27:06around basher million-euroon,
27:08after tax,
27:09directly into Winne's account.
27:10Winne stared at the number,
27:12feeling neither moved nor angry.
27:14She just felt,
27:15this marriage was finally,
27:17legally over.
27:18She signed it and sent it back.
27:21News somehow reached Faye.
27:23In the meeting room,
27:24she said in front of everyone,
27:25Winne,
27:26now you're a real rich lady.
27:28You still gonna work for me?
27:29And Winne smiled too.
27:32I haven't earned enough yet.
27:34I haven't earned enough yet.
27:36After the meeting,
27:37Winne went back to her office
27:38and closed the door.
27:40She stood at the window
27:41looking at Milan's streets,
27:43feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.
27:45Not because of the money,
27:47but because she'd finally cut tlies
27:49with the past completely.
27:50She picked up her phone
27:52and called her mother.
27:53Mom, Dylan and I are officially divorced.
27:55The line was quiet for a long time.
27:58Her mother's voice choked up.
28:00Winnie, are you sad?
28:02I'm not, Mom.
28:03I'm really good right now.
28:05That's all that matters.
28:07Take care of yourself out there.
28:09Eat well, don't work too hard.
28:12I know.
28:13Come back for a visit
28:14when you have a chance.
28:16Mom will cook all your favorite dishes for you.
28:19Okay.
28:20She hung up and stood by the window,
28:22watching the rain fall outside,
28:24drop streaked down the glass.
28:25She suddenly thought of her last meeting with Dylan,
28:28that night in Shanghai,
28:29when he'd said,
28:30I'll change.
28:31She hadn't believed him,
28:32because some things can never be fixed,
28:34even if you try.
28:35Spring comes late to Milan,
28:37but when it arrives,
28:38it feels like magic.
28:39On the first day of April,
28:40Win pushed open her office window
28:42and found the plain trees downstairs
28:43had burst into bright green leaves overnight.
28:46Sunlight filtered through the branches,
28:48casting dappled shadows on the wall.
28:49An idea struck her.
28:50A limited spring edition for Reborn.
28:52Using new leaves as the motif,
28:54Sroff drew in pale gold as the main colors,
28:57symboling a fresh start to life.
28:58She drew all day,
29:00forgetting even to eat lunch.
29:02When Win came down,
29:03he was standing in the sunset,
29:05holding a coffee.
29:09Guess how long I've been waiting here?
29:11How long?
29:11Forty minutes.
29:12Faye said you hadn't left your office all day,
29:14so I brought you something.
29:15Winnie took the coffee
29:16and saw a tiny doodle on the sleeve,
29:18a girl drawing at her desk,
29:19hair messy.
29:20You drew this?
29:21Yeah,
29:22it's for you.
29:22Winnie stared at the doodle and smiled.
29:24It was a genuine smile,
29:26one she hadn't had in a long time.
29:27Not because it was pretty,
29:28but because someone cared whether she ate.
29:31Someone was willing to wait 40 minutes
29:32just to bring her a coffee while she worked.
29:34Something soft shifted inside her
29:36as she looked at Ethan.
29:38Ethan.
29:39Hmm?
29:40Thank you.
29:41You're welcome.
29:42Winnie,
29:43I have something I want to say,
29:45but it's late,
29:46go rest.
29:47Tomorrow,
29:48if you're free,
29:48come to my studio.
29:50I have something to show you.
29:52Winnie looked at his serious face
29:53and nodded.
29:54Okay.
29:55The next day was Saturday.
29:58Winnie slept in,
29:59then went to Ethan's studio.
30:00The studio was on the top floor
30:02of an old building
30:03with a huge skylight
30:04that flooded the space
30:05with sunlight.
30:06The walls were covered
30:07with sketches and furniture models.
30:09An old piano stood in the corner.
30:11Ethan was sanding a piece of wood.
30:13When he saw Winnie,
30:14he set down his tools
30:15and washed his hands.
30:17You're here.
30:18I'm here.
30:20He led her up a small ladder
30:21to a rooftop terrace
30:22that overlooked
30:23all of Milan's rooftops.
30:25On the terrace was a chair,
30:27not an ordinary one,
30:28but a beautifully crafted
30:29rocking chair,
30:30smooth lines,
30:31warm wood,
30:32with daisies hand carved
30:33into the arms.
30:34I made this for you.
30:35It took me three months.
30:37Winnie froze.
30:38She stepped closer
30:39and touched the daisies
30:40on the arms.
30:41Each one was lifelike.
30:43The curve of the petals,
30:44the lines of the veins,
30:46all carefully carved.
30:47You once said you had
30:48a rocking chair
30:49at your grandma's
30:49when you were little
30:50and you loved sitting in the sun.
30:51She's gone now,
30:52but I thought you could
30:53have a new one.
30:54Sit.
30:55Enjoy the sun.
30:56Look at the view.
30:57Tears spilled down
30:58Wyndon's cheeks,
30:59not from sentiment,
31:00but because someone
31:01in this world
31:02had remembered
31:02a casual Lenten's
31:03she'd said
31:04for so long.
31:05Ethan,
31:06why are you so good to me?
31:08Ethan looked at her,
31:09his gaze as gentle
31:10as April Wind.
31:11Winnie,
31:12I like you,
31:13not just as a friend,
31:14the kind that means
31:15I want to spend
31:15the rest of my life
31:16with you.
31:17I know you just
31:17ended a marriage.
31:18You might not be ready.
31:19You might not even know
31:20what you feel for me.
31:21That's okay.
31:22I can wait.
31:23But I want you to know
31:24there is someone here
31:25who will stay.
31:26No matter if you're happy
31:27or sad,
31:28strong or broken,
31:29you don't have to
31:29give up anything for me.
31:31You don't have to change.
31:32Just be yourself.
31:33I'll be right here
31:34waiting until you're ready,
31:35until you know.
31:37Ethan,
31:38I don't want to wait anymore.
31:39He froze.
31:42Starting today,
31:43let's be together.
31:44Really?
31:45He reached out
31:45and took her hand,
31:46lacing their fingers together.
31:48The wind on the terrace
31:49carried the scent
31:50of spring flowers
31:51and the distant church bells.
31:52Wind sat back
31:53in the rocking chair
31:54made just for her,
31:55and it swayed gently.
31:56This,
31:57she thought,
31:58is what happiness feels like.
32:00Not grand gestures,
32:01not dramatic promises,
32:02just someone who spends
32:03three months
32:04making you a chair.
32:05Someone who waits
32:0640 minutes
32:06just to bring you coffee.
32:07Someone who tells you,
32:09just be yourself.
32:10Life with Ethan
32:11was quiet,
32:12like a glass of warm water.
32:14Simple,
32:15but something
32:16you never wanted
32:16to give up.
32:17They didn't rush
32:18to move in together,
32:20didn't rush
32:20to meet each other's families.
32:23Wind kept working
32:24working on Reborn.
32:25Ethan kept designing furniture.
32:28On weekends,
32:30they visited museums,
32:32ate at farms
32:33outside the city,
32:35or did nothing
32:36but sit on the terrace
32:37in the sun.
32:38Ethan was still quiet,
32:40but he'd bring dinner
32:41downstairs to her office
32:42when she worked late.
32:43When she traveled,
32:45he sent her a photo
32:46of Milan's sunset every day.
32:48When she missed home,
32:49he tried not very authentic,
32:50braised pork ribs for her.
32:52How do you know
32:53how to do everything?
32:53I've lived alone
32:55in Europe for years.
32:56If you can't cook,
32:57you starve.
32:58If you can't fix a pipe,
32:59you get wet.
33:00You don't have to be alone anymore.
33:02No, I don't.
33:03The limited and spring editions
33:05of Reborn launched in May
33:07and were a huge hit again.
33:09Wynn was named
33:10the brand's designer of the year,
33:12and Fea presented
33:13the award herself.
33:14Wynn's design tells us all,
33:15a woman's worth
33:16is not defined by a man.
33:17You can fall,
33:18you can hurt,
33:19you can lose everything,
33:20but if you have the courage
33:21to stand up,
33:21you will never lose.
33:22The room erupted in applause,
33:24standing on stage,
33:25looking at all the unfamiliar faces.
33:27Wynn suddenly felt like crying,
33:29not from sadness,
33:30but because she'd finally become
33:31the person she'd always wanted to be.
33:33No one to depend on,
33:34no one to please,
33:35just standing exactly
33:36where she belonged,
33:37on talent and hard work alone.
33:39After the award,
33:40she got a text from Ethan.
33:42Congratulations,
33:43I left a gift at your door.
33:44When Wynn got home,
33:46there was a long box
33:46outside her door.
33:47She opened it.
33:48A sketch of her standing
33:49on top of Milan Cathedral,
33:51wind in her hair.
33:52In the corner was a tiny line,
33:53May the wind take your troubles away,
33:55may the sun light your way.
33:56Wynn held the drawing
33:57and stood at the door
33:58for a long time.
33:59Then she took out her phone
34:01and texted Ethan.
34:02Ethan,
34:03I love you.
34:04Three seconds later,
34:05his reply came.
34:07I know.
34:08I love you too.
34:10Milan in July was like a steamer.
34:11Wynn and Ethan decided to escape
34:13to Lake Como for the summer.
34:15They rented a small car
34:17and drove slowly
34:18along the mountain roads.
34:19The lake was bright blue,
34:21the mountains green,
34:22and the towns were covered
34:23in blooming wisteria.
34:25They stayed at an old
34:26lakeside hotel,
34:28their room looking
34:29straight out at the water.
34:30In the evening,
34:31they sat on the balcony,
34:32watching the sun set
34:34behind the mountains.
34:34The sky turned from orange
34:36to pale purple,
34:37then deep blue.
34:38Wynn.
34:39Hmm?
34:40Have you ever thought
34:41about getting married?
34:43I have,
34:44but I'm not in a hurry.
34:45I'm not either,
34:46but I still want to ask,
34:48will you marry me?
34:48Not now,
34:49later,
34:50when you're ready,
34:50when you want to settle down.
34:52Wynn looked into his eyes.
34:53There was no rush,
34:54no pressure,
34:55only quiet,
34:56certain gentleness.
34:57Ethan,
34:58will you regret it?
34:58Regret what?
34:59Regretting marrying
35:00a divorced woman.
35:01Wynn,
35:01your worth isn't how many times
35:03you've been married,
35:03it's who you are.
35:04I love you,
35:05your talent,
35:06your strength,
35:06the way you keep smiling
35:07even after everything.
35:08Okay,
35:09I'll marry you.
35:10Not now,
35:11but okay.
35:12Ethan's proposal
35:13had no grand ceremony,
35:15no diamond ring,
35:16no flowers or candles.
35:17Just one question.
35:18Will you?
35:19And one answer.
35:20Okay.
35:21Okay.
35:22But to Winnie,
35:23it was the most beautiful thing
35:24she'd ever heard.
35:25After returning to Milan,
35:27they didn't rush
35:28to plan a wedding.
35:29Wynn's work grew busier.
35:31Reborn was expanding globally,
35:34and she traveled constantly.
35:36Ethan's studio was preparing
35:38for the Milan furniture fair.
35:40Good night.
35:42I miss you.
35:44I miss you too.
35:45Once Wynn was on a business trip
35:47in Tokyo,
35:48she woke up in the middle
35:49of the night,
35:50stared at the strange ceiling,
35:51and suddenly missed Ethan terribly.
35:53She picked up her phone
35:55and saw a message
35:56from half an hour earlier.
35:57I designed a new chair.
35:59It's called Wynn.
36:00Wait till you see it.
36:02Wynn smiled,
36:03and her longing turned
36:04into warm anticipation.
36:07The next morning,
36:09she flew back to Milan.
36:10Ethan was there to pick her up,
36:12still holding a bouquet of daisies.
36:14Tired?
36:15A little.
36:17Let me show you Wynn, Wynn.
36:18They went to his studio.
36:20The chair named Winnie
36:21was a simple wooden dining chair,
36:23elegant lines,
36:24comfortable to sit in.
36:25Carved on the back
36:26was a tiny line,
36:27made for Wynn.
36:28Ethan, are you going to name
36:28every chair you make after me?
36:30I might.
36:31Then do I get royalties?
36:32You already own me.
36:33Why worry about royalties?
36:35Wynn blushed and glared at him.
36:36He laughed,
36:37leaned down,
36:38and kissed her forehead softly.
36:40Dot as gentle as April Wynn.
36:41In autumn,
36:42Wynn received an unexpected letter.
36:44There was no name on the envelope,
36:46only a postmark
36:47from a small city in China.
36:49She opened it.
36:50Inside was only one photo.
36:52Her and Dylan at five years old,
36:54in kindergarten.
36:55Two little kids,
36:56holding hands,
36:56smiling carelessly.
36:58On the back was written,
36:59Wynn,
37:00I'm sorry.
37:01No signature,
37:03but Wynn knew who it was.
37:04She stared at the photo
37:06for a long time.
37:09Then she put it in a drawer,
37:11with the old album
37:12Dylan had sent her years before,
37:14holding memories
37:14from age five to 25.
37:16She didn't hate Dylan anymore.
37:18She didn't miss him either.
37:20He was just someone
37:21who no longer had anything
37:22to do with her life.
37:25Reborn became a global hit.
37:27Winma's name began appearing
37:28regularly at the top
37:30of design magazines.
37:33Wynn has proven with her work
37:35that a woman can restart
37:36her life at any age.
37:38When Winnie went on stage
37:39to accept the award,
37:40she saw Ethan sitting
37:42in the audience.
37:43He'd arrived quietly,
37:44wearing a dark blue suit,
37:46smiling and raising
37:47his glass to her.
37:48Maybe it's time.
37:49After the party,
37:51she found Ethan.
37:52Let's get married.
37:53Ethan froze.
37:54What did you say?
37:55I said, let's get married.
37:57Not later.
37:59Now.
37:59Ethan stared at her
38:00for a few seconds,
38:01then smiled,
38:03disbelieving joy
38:04on his face.
38:05Winnie, are you serious?
38:06I'm serious.
38:07What about the wedding?
38:09Where?
38:09When?
38:11Keep it simple,
38:12Winnie said,
38:13here in Milan,
38:14at Sanzanga Church.
38:16Not many people.
38:17Just us,
38:18and a few friends.
38:19Ethan suddenly pulled
38:20a small box
38:21from his pocket.
38:22He opened it,
38:23revealing a simple
38:24platinum ring.
38:25I've had this ready
38:26for a long time.
38:27I've been waiting
38:27for you to say it.
38:28Winner looked at the ring
38:29and laughed through tears.
38:31Ethan,
38:31did you just assume
38:32I'd say yes?
38:33No, he said seriously.
38:35I hoped,
38:36but I never pushed.
38:37He picked up the ring
38:38and knelt on one knee.
38:40Win, marry me.
38:41Colleagues still lingered,
38:42saw this,
38:43and cheered and clapped.
38:45Win wiped her tears
38:46and held out her left hand.
38:48Yes.
38:49Winnie wore a simple
38:50white dress,
38:51her hair loose,
38:52no jewelry at all.
38:53She wasn't trying
38:54to be minimalist.
38:55Ethan had just said,
38:56you look beautiful
38:57in anything.
38:58Winnie thought
38:58he was flattering her,
38:59but she accepted it.
39:00There weren't many people,
39:02just Faye and close colleagues,
39:04Ethan's studio partner,
39:05and Winnie's parents,
39:07who'd flown from China.
39:09Winnen,
39:09be happy this time.
39:11I will.
39:12Ethan is a good man,
39:13I can tell.
39:14He really loves you.
39:17I know,
39:18I know, Dad.
39:18There was no MC,
39:19no complicated procedure.
39:21They just stood before the priest
39:22and exchanged vows.
39:23I'm not good with fancy words,
39:25but I promise,
39:26from day on,
39:26I'll take care of your meals.
39:28When you're tired,
39:29I'll carry you.
39:29When you cry,
39:30I'll comfort you.
39:30When you're happy,
39:31I'll celebrate.
39:32When you're sad,
39:33I'll stay.
39:33Forever.
39:35Ethan,
39:35I don't need you to carry me
39:36or comfort me.
39:37I just need you to be by my side
39:39and be yourself.
39:42The priest declared them
39:43husband and wife.
39:47Church bells rang.
39:48Doves flew across the blue sky.
39:50Sunlight fell on both of them.
39:52Winnen closed her eyes
39:53and felt the warmth of the kiss.
39:54This time,
39:55she thought,
39:55I chose right.
39:57Married life was no different
39:58from dating.
39:59They still worked separately.
40:01On weekends,
40:01they ate,
40:02walked,
40:02and watched movies together.
40:04The only difference,
40:05every night,
40:06they sat on the balcony,
40:07drank warm tea,
40:08and talked about their day.
40:09Wynn noticed Ethan
40:10had a habit
40:11she'd never known about.
40:12He liked to brush the hair
40:14off her forehead gently
40:15and stroke her head
40:16after she'd fallen asleep.
40:17Once she wasn't asleep,
40:19she felt the kiss
40:20with her eyes closed
40:21and her heart melted.
40:23She opened her eyes
40:24and saw Ethan's shy expression.
40:27You're awake?
40:29You do this every night?
40:30Since you've been swapped all day,
40:32I didn't want to bother you.
40:34I waited till you fell asleep at night
40:36so I could come quietly
40:37without disturbing you at all.
40:39Winnie suddenly thought
40:40this man was so quietly,
40:42sweetly clumsy.
40:43She reached up
40:44and wrapped her arms
40:45around his neck.
40:46Ethan,
40:47you don't have to sneak around anymore.
40:49Anytime you want me,
40:50I'm yours.
40:51He smiled
40:52and kissed her.
40:53Night wind slipped
40:54through the window,
40:55carrying distant church bells.
40:57In that moment,
40:58Winnie felt
40:59all the pain in her life
41:00had been worth it
41:01just to make this sweetness sweeter.
41:03in the mirror.
41:03We're not even
