Gritting her teeth, Yu Yu looks at the shadow of Ko Chen fading away. She gets so angry that she stamps her feet on the ground several times. He leaves without any intention to help her.
Yu Yu stands up, pulling her high-heeled shoe out of the earth. Her heel goes awry and this shoe can’t be worn anymore, so she takes off the other shoe and goes back to her room barefooted.
Wang Feng is startled when she sees her daughter looks so sloppy. She goes over and takes off the grass on her daughter’s dress. She sounds anxious, “What happened to you?”
Yu Yu does not want to talk anymore, so she answers perfunctorily, “A dog made it.”
Then she cannot help thinking of the indifferent back of Ko Chen. She hates him so much but cannot talk about it with her mom. She has to bear it. She takes her nightgown and goes into the bathroom.
Drying her hair, she goes out of the bathroom. She finds her mom staring at her. She seldom sees her mom looking at her that way, so she stops drying her hair and asks: “Why do you look at me this way?”
Wang Feng is not stupid. They have been living in Ko family a couple of days. Except for that last time Ko Chen invited them for dinner, her daughter seems to have no chance to interact with him. Ko Chen even didn’t show up at that dinner.
“Yu, come here.”
Yu Yu is curious about what Wang Feng is doing. She walks to her mom slowly. When she is about to sit down, her mom pulls her up and takes her towel away.
Wang Feng orders Yu Yu to stand straight in front of her. She glances at her daughter up and down several times, which makes Yu Yu uncomfortable. Wang Feng asks curiously: “You are beautiful and shapely. Why are you unable to seize Ko Chen’s heart?”
Yu Yu feels relieved. She didn’t expect that her mom talked about this. She thought Wang Feng had known something.
Yu Yu does not answer, which makes Wang Feng angrier. She pulls her daughter’s nightgown and seems to dislike it. She says: “Your nightgown is old-styled. You know I don’t like it, either, not to mention Ko Chen. Sweetheart, I’m not kidding. There are so many women who want to sleep with him. You have to do something as quickly as possible. Otherwise, someone will take your place and marry him.”
Yu Yu does not utter a word. Although Wang Feng’s words are hurtful, they are very true. She tried to seduce Ko Chen but failed. Now Ko Chen is more cautious with her. There are guards in the house and at the gate of his bedroom. It is apparently that he does not want her to sneak in again.
Wang Feng sees Yu Yu seems to change her mind. She is happy because she believes Yu Yu finally buys her words, so she keeps saying: “Listen to me. All men are salacious. If you can sleep with him, you can get anything you want.”
Hearing this, Yu Yu is readying to take action. She forgets that she failed last time. She rolls her eyes but fails to figure out how to do it. So she asks: “Mom, what should I do?”
Wang Feng smiles mysteriously and takes a white pill from her bag. She gives it to Wang Yu and says: “Once you use this, Ko Chen would be crazy about you when having sex with you.”
Yu Yu takes over the pill with her eyes wide open. She looks at the door because she feels as if doing something guilty. She whispers to her mom’s ear: “Where did you get this?”
Wang Feng smiles and does not answer. She asks Yu Yu to get ready for it. Then she receives a call and leaves.
When her mom leaves, Yu Yu sits on the bed, holding the pill. Many ideas occur to her, which come to nothing at the end. However, only one idea remains in her head: she must have Ko Chen as her lover!
Her mom is right. If she does not take action, someone would take the chance and sleep with Ko Chen. That is really harmful to her. If she wants to take Yu Fei’s place and get married with Ko Chen, she has to have sex with him as soon as possible.
When she makes up her mind, she smiles viciously. She looks at the pill in front of her and says to herself: “Ko Chen, this time, you can’t get rid of me .”
With her experience of last time, she does not act rashly and blindly this time. She makes her plan, dresses up and comes to the kitchen.
All the servants of Ko family know that Yu Yu is Yu Fei’s sister. They also know that Yu Yu tried to sleep with Ko Chen last time. Although they do not mention that, they look down upon her in their hearts.
Usually Yu Yu ignores the servants, regarding them as nothing. It shocks everyone when she enters the kitchen. They wonder what on earth she intends to do.
This time Yu Yu changes the way she treats them. She is no longer arrogant and even smiles to them. She tells them that she wants to cook a meal for Ko Chen to thank him for taking care of her mom and her for such a long time.
They give her a chance. Yu Yu cooks the meal as she likes. Although the meal is simple, every dish looks good in color, smells fragrant and tastes delicious.
As soon as Yu Yu enters the kitchen, Ko Chen is informed by uncle Zhang. When he is why Yu Yu cooks, he feels her way is ridiculous. But his smile is cold.
“Fine. I want to know her purpose.”
Yu Yu places the dishes on the table and pours two glasses of wine. When she makes sure that no one is looking at her, she puts the pill into one of the glasses and shakes it gently. The pill soon dissolves in the wine.
Yu Yu thought no one knew what she had done. However, Ko Chen knew everything through the security monitor.
He watches the woman in the screen. He is a little bit surprised but then his eyes darken. “Drug me? How dare she?”
Yu Yu thought everything was perfect. She looks at the table with satisfaction and goes upstairs to ask Ko Chen to eat.
She knocks at the study door. Ko Chen answers: “Come in.”
It is the first time that Yu Yu has done this kind of thing. She looks nervous. She takes a deep breath and pushes the door open. She makes a big smile and makes herself act as naturally as possible.
“Chen. I cooked a meal. Come and have the dinner.” When she says that, she keeps looking at Ko Chen’s face. She is afraid that Ko Chen would say no to her.
But she didn’t expect that Ko Chen becomes tender suddenly. And he seems a little bit surprised.
“You made it?”
Yu Yu didn’t expect that he would respond that way. She is more than happy and nods heavily.
But she does not know that Ko Chen takes her smile as rubbish.
