"I am certainly not," Topsy replied. She'd be affronted if Edwin's own indignation didn't amuse her so. "Are politics funny? Perhaps I missed that memo, darling. I seem to recall reminding you that a lord's responsibility is to cater for all of his constituents, if only to ensure that they feel understood by you."

Topsy resisted the urge to sigh and instead tried to consider where her son was coming from. He was a man of privilege, of course, as she was a woman of means. They were both titled - or he would be, upon her death. There was a degree of distance in his observations that were borne from such privilege. Was it harsh, to judge him when this was all he knew? Topsy was not a skilled parent, but she owed it to her children to improve herself.

"From my perspective," Topsy began in her usual measured tone of voice, "it is less about winning and more about providing a different perspective. Why, if a tailor in Ripon reads my letter and I persuade him to an alternative view, is that not a victory unto itself? Must I ensure his vote has been unalterably changed?"

All this was delivered with Topsy's flicker of amusement - a shield against her crushing shyness, which threatened her edges almost constantly. Her lips trembled only slightly as she smiled at her son.

"Tell me. Who has your vote? Can you explain why they've secured your loyalty?"

Devotion to scratching their own—Edwin judiciously cut off the thought in his head to make sure he stayed straight-faced and polite in front of his mother.

The particular chair he sat in had very little by way of fluffy cushion back support. He supposed one had taken the hit in the minor scuffle with Emerson from weeks ago.

“You’re being facetious, Mother,” he said, unable to understand how she found this so amusing. “I don’t think disappointment flows upriver, but if it did—I mean, Communism? Really? They’ll never scrape together the seats and it feels like a waste of time and money to bother this much about them!”

Before we get married - Episode 13

Okayyyyy sooo weeeell. I think this is the last episode. I don’t want it to end, not yet... I am going to miss them and I don’t need that emotional void in my life right now... I hate goodbyes TT_____TT

So it’s the big day for the team and everybody is extra nervous. Naturally, nothing can go smoothly in a drama so the presentation is broken. Fortunately, there is a save at the office and Weiwei is right there to pick up. But she doesn’t. Scooter delivery boy comes with his key to take it. I hate this. Enough of Haoyi and Weiwei. Please. Oh. WE HAVE A PROBLEM! Scooter boy is not Scooter boy anymore. He bought a porsche ladies and gentleman. Not just a random car, but a porsche. How well is doing Maizi’s company for him to be able to have that much money? Anyways. Weiwei doesn’t really have another choice but to get in the car with him so she won’t be late to the event. AND HE’S SUCH A JERK! He goes on and on about how much he wanted a car like this for such a long time, but he didn’t buy it to economize, bla bla bla. He’s doing it on purpose to piss off Weiwei or make her jealous or I don’t know what, but that technique to get her back is LAME!

Okay oh my god. Li Haoyi as gone made. He blames her for everything and starts speed driving like a mad man. And he’s not going to the presentation. I don’t know where he is taking her, but I don’t like it at all. So she manages to give a phone call to Kehuan, but it happens to be right when he was about to get on stage.

Omg. This guy is definitely crazy, he took her to the police office to register their marriage. He’s forcing her. This is so twisted. And how Kehuan got there like two minutes after them? I don’t know, but he must have drove fast because Haoyi was speeding a lot. Anyways, I am glad he saved her, and in such a cool manner.

On the way back, Weiwei feels really bad because the presentation was cancelled since Kehuan left. To save her. Back with the others, Ziyuan is again blaming everything on Weiwei. Girl, shut up. Her ex-boyfriend tried to kidnap her, she was afraid and she called. She’s already feeling super guilty about it. Stop being such a baby because he likes her better than he likes you.

The next day at the office, everybody is wondering if Kehuan will be fired because of what happened on the day of the presentation. Kefei and Haoyi gets into a fight : he says that if his relationship with Weiwei broke was because she lived with her and her habits of sleeping around with anybody influenced her. AND THEN DAWEI COMES OUT SAYING “YOU APOLOGIZE TO MY WOMAN!” And that was so handsome and awww. Kefei gets shy and runs away. So Dawei lets go of Haoyi to run after her. They completely erased all traces of poor Baiyang haha. And we wasted so much of our time on him. Anyways, Dawei is just so sweet. And there was a time I though of him as the annoying collegue.

Chairman Wang meets with Weiwei and Kehuan. Even though the presentation was a disaster, he will still invest in their product. However, when Kehuan leaves to take a phone call, he takes the chance to Weiwei that he believes she won’t let her personal life interfere with her work, which is why he decided to invest, but unfortunately, Kehuan is the type to let his feelings interfere.

So Kehuan was demoted. As to be expected... And Weiwei doesn’t seem so much bothered by it, she’s actually pretty. Of course. BECAUSE SHE PREPARED. She gives her letter of resignation to Ziyuan in exchange that Kehuan will have his position back.

So she goes to the park and then Haoyi comes out. That guy. It gives me shivers how annoying he is. Weiwei definitely doesn’t want to talk and meet with him but he keeps harassing her. He even forcibly kisses her. Well at least now he knows she didn’t actually sleep with Kehuan. So he’s like but if I forgive you, can’t we go back? And she just tells she can’t keep going on loving him.

Next thing you know, he is back to normal??? I don’t know what happened, but it’s weird, super weird. And he just leaves the project to go back to Shanghai. Okay. Well. It’s a better ending for those two than I expected. It just ended then.

After, Weiwei asks Kehuan on a date. It’s so sudden. I HAVE A BAD FEELING. It’s exactly like “let’s have a nice date and then I will disappear”. I AM SURE! TELL ME I AM WRONG!

PLEASE.

So they go to the movies and Kehuan is just so adorable. After the movie, they go to the small KTV. AND THE LYRICS ARE IN SYNC WITH THE SOUND! I am really satisfied about that. Very happy. I can died in peace now. Weiwei sings my song to Kehuan. And the looks they exchange. So wow ** I’m happy. I’m even more happy because he kisses her like there is no tomorrow and they deserve it so much after all they went through.

OMO!

Is it happening? Are they going to sleep together for real this time? I wish they would switch the song, it’s not suitable. This song doesn’t fit with a sex scene TT____TT Thanks. They stopped it so Weiwei would tell us her plan. I do agree with her that four people in one couple it’s a little too much, but Haoyi is gone, so it’s three and we can kick out Ziyuan. We just need to lock her up. Or something like that. But no. No. Like any other stupid drama female lead, you are going to disappear after giving him a little happiness. That’s dumb. And selfish.

Soooo. Weiwei leaves the company. Haoyi leaves the company... Ziyuan got the whole office redecorated but... that was for nothing because... Kehuan also gives his resignation letter. LOL. Girl, all that you did went for nothing.

So Weiwei promises to contact Kehuan when she becomes the second version of herself. The drama ends on... the wedding. At first I thought it was just so random for them to get married, but actually it’s Kefei and Dawei’s wedding haha. We don’t see them actually get together, but it is implied when Weiwei asks to treat him for coffee. Which is a throwback to the first episode when he tells her that overseas, people use that excuse to get with somebody. Well in bed, but here I believe it means more to ask about the relationship in itself.

This ending is satisfying in many ways. I am happy with it but there are still things that bothers me. Like... Everything about Ziyuan’s baby. Why did she aborted it? And was it really Kehuan’s kid? Because she kind of implied once that maybe it wasn’t. This hole in the plot is really bothering me, like way too much actually... I wanted to know. And I wish we would have seen more of Ziting. She was an interesting character, she was cool. I want a spin of about her hahaha.

So this is it. It’s the end. I am going to miss this drama, certainly. I had my doubts when I started it, but overall I am glad I watched it. I wouldn’t go through it again, it was good, but yet not THAT good. I enjoyed my time watching it, if I had to give any advice to my past self wether or not to keep watching, I guess I would still tell myself to give it a chance. It was pretty relaxing, it talked about topics that are not really usually portrayed. The only thing is that there were too many plot holes and I wish they were covered properly.

Anyways, thank you for anyone that ever read my recaps, I hope you enjoyed it and if ever you have any recommandations for what show I should watch next, feel free to tell me, I don’t know where to start. Could be old or new, I have plenty of time to waste!

See you around!
