Spoiler Alert
Episode 27 of With Love with You hits hard—both emotionally and politically. It’s one of those episodes that quietly breaks your heart while setting up some serious corporate intrigue.
Let’s start with Le Chuan, who visits Grandpa Hu after Wang Lingjun suspected something was off. Turns out, she was right—Grandpa Hu is seriously ill. No wonder he’s been acting strange lately. If it weren’t for Lingjun’s attention to detail, Le Chuan wouldn’t have known. It’s a touching moment that reminds us how easily things go unnoticed in the hustle of life.
Meanwhile at work, Fang Li pushes a big new target: acquiring Xingda Technology. The twist? This company has deep financial ties with him. When he drops the name in a meeting, Wang Yan and Li Fei exchange a knowing glance—yep, they’re fully aware of the murky waters they’re stepping into. Zhou Mengmeng isn’t convinced though. She thinks they’re outmatched. Xingda’s a tough sell, especially when competing with savvy internet ad firms. But Fang Li insists. Wang Yan, surprisingly, agrees to take it on and tasks Zhou with gathering every detail on Xingda, leaving her completely baffled. Why chase a pitch they can’t possibly win?
On a more personal note, Lingjun and Le Chuan visit Qiu Tian—but not without making a pact: no crying. That promise doesn’t last long. Seeing Qiu Tian, now completely blind, breaks Lingjun. The moment is raw, especially when Qiu Tian’s condition triggers memories of Lingjun’s sister. Qiu Tian’s mother, ever graceful, understands her pain. It’s one of the episode’s most heartfelt scenes.
Back in the business world, Wang Yan digs deeper into Xingda. The company’s been funded overseas and listed in Hong Kong. The man behind it? Lin Weida. But Li Fei believes there’s someone even higher up pulling the strings—and that this person has been Fang Li’s long-time partner. If Fang Li’s corrupt, there must be a private account. But Li Fei suspects his motives go beyond money. Wang Yan’s ready to risk it, saying, “You won’t know unless you try.”
Qiu Tian’s birthday is beautifully bittersweet. Surrounded by friends, family, and love, she’s all smiles. But Lingjun can’t shake the feeling that Qiu Tian is quietly saying goodbye. Le Chuan puts it perfectly: if sorrow can’t stop the farewell, better to face it with joy. Maybe Qiu Tian felt the same.
Strangely enough, Li Fei’s been unusually obedient lately, and Fang Li’s loving it. But that’s probably not a good sign. Meanwhile, Zhou Mengmeng notices Wang Yan acting weird and tries to get her to open up. Wang Yan, thinking of the bigger picture, keeps her secrets close for now.
Elsewhere, Zhuo Bing tries to sidestep Luo Zhiwei and pitch a deal directly to Gao Qian. Gao, loyal to his friend, shuts it down. He even calls her out for hiding a lipstick in his couch cushions. Smooth move, Zhuo.
As the pitch for Xingda heats up, Wang Yan’s team presents a solid proposal—too solid. The pricing is high, and Fang Li knows it. He leaks their bottom line to Lin Weida himself. Li Fei predicts Xingda will fake interest in a rival firm to pressure Miaosi into lowering their fee. And surprise, surprise—that’s exactly what happens. Xingda’s eyes shift to Zhiyi in the second round. Wang Yan pretends to be disappointed, while Fang Li plays his own game. He tells Wang Yan to slash their quote by 2%.
Later, Wang Yan decides to walk home for a change. Lingjun, knowing her route, joins her. Their stroll through Shenzhen feels symbolic—Lingjun’s finally found her purpose in this city she once felt lost in.
Then the call comes. Qiu Tian has passed away.
The next day, Lingjun visits the funeral home to say goodbye. Le Chuan plays a final voice message from Qiu Tian. This sweet, brave girl, who brought so much light in her short life, is now a star in the sky.
