Spoiler Alert
Episode 10 of With Love with You hits hard with long-held secrets, mother-daughter confrontations, and some seriously touching sisterly bonding. No dramatic plot twists or wild cliffhangers—just raw, emotional storytelling that feels all too real.
The Past That Haunts
We finally learn the truth behind the icy tension between Wang Yan and her mother Yan Fang. Years ago, when the family was dirt poor and little Wang Yan was sick, her father Wang Kaiming wasn’t around. In a moment of desperation, Yan Fang gave Wang Yan to her sister to raise. Though she later took her back, the damage was done. Wang Yan’s been carrying that memory like a scar ever since. Every nightmare? It traces back to that one decision.
Her younger sister Wang Lingjun had long sensed something was off between Wang Yan and their mom. It’s only after talking to their dad that she pieces together the full story.
Later, when Wang Yan and Yan Fang go out to buy water—finally alone together—Yan Fang gently asks if Wang Yan still resents her. Wang Yan opens up, and their emotional exchange leaves Yan Fang in tears. She blames herself for how distant and guarded Wang Yan has become. Once upon a time, her daughter was warm and bubbly.
Tears, Hugs, and Healing
This episode’s emotional core is that long-overdue reconciliation. When Yan Fang finds out Wang Yan doesn’t even want to get married—something she only learns after Wang Yan moves to Shenzhen—she takes it as another consequence of her past mistake. But Wang Yan finally understands the pressure her mom was under back then. They cry it out in each other’s arms, and just like that, years of emotional baggage start to lift.
Even Wang Lingjun, who usually bickers with Wang Yan like it’s her full-time job, feels a rare pang of sympathy. For once, the sisters aren’t at each other’s throats. They hug, they bond—it’s a sweet, rare moment of peace between them.
Goodbye Isn’t Easy
On the second day of Lunar New Year, the sisters take their parents to the airport. Yan Fang, who can’t handle goodbyes, sneaks away to cry alone. Wang Kaiming, ever the understanding husband, lets her be and focuses on saying his own heartfelt (and slightly naggy) goodbyes to the girls.
Shopping Shenanigans
After the airport drop-off, Wang Yan takes Wang Lingjun shopping and tells her to pick any outfit she likes—she’s paying. Lingjun tries on several, but Wang Yan vetoes every single one. Frustrated, Lingjun storms off, but Wang Yan, unfazed, tells the salesperson to pack them all anyway. Classic older-sister move.
Secrets Behind Closed Doors
Storming off leads Wang Lingjun straight to her friend Cao Kunkun—only to overhear a nasty argument between Cao and her husband Wei Dasheng. Turns out, Cao’s picture-perfect life is a facade. Wei is barely around, and though they held a wedding banquet for appearances, they never actually got legally married. Lingjun wisely decides not to barge in, but when she calls Cao and hears her lie about being in Hong Kong, she knows her friend doesn’t plan to share the truth—and she respects that silence.
Hotpot & Hard Truths
The episode closes with the sisters sharing hotpot and a few too many drinks. Lingjun, tipsy and curious, asks why Wang Yan broke up with Liao Fanmu. Wang Yan admits she never really loved him and let things drag on too long. But she also points out that Liao didn’t come to Shenzhen just for her—he saw opportunity. People always weigh their options, she says. No one’s kind for no reason... except your parents.
Lingjun takes that to heart, then scoots over to sit next to Wang Yan on the same bench, drink in hand. They laugh, they tease, and they’re genuinely happy in each other’s company.
Final Thoughts
This episode isn’t about drama—it’s about healing. It’s about how complicated, messy, and beautiful family relationships can be. Wang Yan and Wang Lingjun may fight like cats and dogs, but when it counts, they’ve got each other’s backs. And sometimes, that’s all that really matters.
