Spoiler Alert
Episode 16 of With Love with You packs an emotional punch, weaving together family drama, unspoken illnesses, workplace tension, and some surprising character growth. Let’s break down what went down—and what it might mean moving forward.
Wang Yan’s Health Woes—and Her Silence
Things start off with Gao Qian checking in on Wang Yan after hearing she’s taken time off work. Rather than coming clean, Wang Yan keeps her condition to herself. They meet up at a spot where Gao Qian is building Lego (yes, actual Lego—part hobby, part work stress therapy). The moment is light, but when Wang Yan gets up, she has another dizzy spell. It’s milder this time, but the concern is real—and still, she refuses to tell Gao Qian her illness has returned. Stubborn or scared? Maybe both.
Grandpa Goes Rogue (Again)
Meanwhile, Grandpa is up to his usual antics. He bores Wang Lingjun to sleep with his stories, then steals her phone, uses her fingerprint to unlock it, and goes on a snack-buying spree with password-free payment. Yep, classic Grandpa. Wang Lingjun reports it to Head Nurse Wei Jie, who’s weirdly chill about it. Apparently, this is just one of those "every now and then" things he does. Still, be on alert.
❤️ Sisterly Concern & A Tough Love Text
Wang Lingjun, worried sick about Wang Yan, rushes to Liao Fanmu after work—only to find out Wang Yan has already checked herself out of the hospital without completing her tests. Not cool. Lingjun texts her sister a firm reminder to get the follow-up done, even sending a pic of her voluntary blood donor certificate as moral support. It works. Wang Yan calls back, and Lingjun doesn’t give her any wiggle room: she’s booked for a hospital visit in two days. Wang Yan’s grateful, but weighed down—she's leaned on her sister too many times, and this relapse just adds to the guilt.
Business Trips, Betrayals & No Promotions
Gao Qian misses an important meeting with Wang Yan and Ye Zhen because he’s abruptly summoned to the Hong Kong headquarters. There, he runs into Li Fei and Fang Li—though Li Fei is suspiciously absent when he meets with Fang Li, who claims she’s busy with other matters. Something’s fishy here.
Then comes the bombshell: the investigation into Li Weixin is complete, and the corruption charges are serious—huge amounts of money involved. The company’s going after him hard. To smooth things over, Fang Li offers Gao Qian a “business development” role. Sounds like a promotion? Not really. Gao Qian knows it’s a dead-end position—and worse, Wang Yan had worked her tail off for that role. He’s not smiling.
Grandpa Escapes (Again), Emotions Boil Over
Grandpa’s at it again—this time, he lies and says he needs the phone to call an old friend. Wang Lingjun buys it. When she comes back from the cafeteria, poof—he’s gone. Luochuan gets called in and immediately knows where Grandpa’s headed. He races off on his motorbike and brings him back after dark.
This time, Wang Lingjun snaps. She yells at Grandpa for being reckless and at Luochuan for being an absentee family member. Then, in a moment of pure frustration, she quits her job and apologizes to Nurse Wei Jie, saying she's done.
Prepping for the Worst
The night before Wang Yan’s check-up, Wang Lingjun is already by her side. The next day, they head to the hospital, but the test results won’t be available for three days. Waiting is the worst.
Meanwhile, Lingjun is pulled away to care for a young boy who’s beyond surgery. She’s left speechless—sometimes, there are no right words.
A Bittersweet Goodbye
Later, Wang Yan takes Liao Fanmu out to dinner. She feels she owes him a real apology and finally sets the record straight—yes, there were feelings, but not the kind he thought. They part ways, both walking in opposite directions—literally and figuratively.
End of the Road?
The drama at work heats up. The metaverse is the next big thing, and the partnership between Miaosi and Yuanzhou Group could be huge. No wonder Fang Li is eyeing it as his retirement plan. But Gao Qian isn’t letting him have it that easy.
Now that Gao Qian is set to become the face of “business development,” his career has hit a ceiling. He asks Wang Yan: would she leave Miaosi if he did? If she wants to stay, he’ll recommend her for his position. She’s stunned—Gao Qian leaving was never part of her equation.
Final Thoughts
This episode really digs into the emotional weight carried by its characters—especially Wang Yan, who’s stuck between her health, her guilt, and her career. Gao Qian’s quiet sacrifices and Wang Lingjun’s explosive meltdown both show how much pressure everyone is under.
With test results looming and careers shifting, it feels like we’re approaching a turning point. Stay tuned. Things are about to get real.
