Spoiler Alert
Drama, tension, and family truths collide as careers and relationships hang in the balance.
Episode 7 of With Love with You picks up with Li Fei in full crisis mode. She calls Gao Qian for help, and like the reliable knight he is, he rushes over to assist her. The issue? Their client, Lingyue, is being difficult—President Zhao insists that Wang Yan be the one to head the project. Li Fei suspects there might be something shady going on, but Gao Qian shuts that idea down. He trusts Wang Yan, period.
In advertising, client dissatisfaction can spell doom, and this project is walking a tightrope. Gao Qian and Li Fei end up waiting four hours before President Zhao even shows up. When he finally does, Gao Qian personally steps in to take charge, which finally eases Zhao’s concerns and keeps the deal from falling apart. Gao Qian assures Li Fei that he’ll handle the next steps with Jixing Entertainment, so she can stop stressing—for now, at least.
Meanwhile, Wang Yan is at the hospital, tending to a family emergency, but her phone won’t stop ringing. First, she hears from Zhou Mengmeng, who updates her on the Lingyue chaos and Zhao’s demand for her involvement. Then Gao Qian calls. Once he learns she’s caring for a family member, he drops the work talk and tells her to focus on home. A rare moment of empathy in the middle of workplace madness.
At the hospital, Wang Yan’s father quietly drops a truth bomb: the family doesn’t care about the money she sends—it’s her presence, her peace of mind, that matters. Wang Yan snaps back, asking if they ever even cared about what she wants. Her father is left speechless, regretting this entire trip to Shenzhen.
Back at Jixing Entertainment, it turns out President Tang was hesitant to let Li Fei manage Yi Zhe’s endorsement deal because she’s a newbie. He wants Wang Yan back on the case or no deal. Gao Qian steps in, saying he’ll take over. Tang is surprised but impressed—Wang Yan may be experienced, but Gao Qian is next-level. He agrees.
Later, Wang Yan is still working through dinner, prompting her mother to snatch away her phone. The family reveals a big surprise: all the money Wang Yan has sent home over the years? They didn’t spend a cent. Instead, they used it to buy her a small apartment—paid in full—so she can face the Liao family with confidence. Instead of gratitude, Wang Yan gets furious. She didn’t ask for this, and now she’s fighting with her mom.
Wang Lingjun, her younger sister, tries to comfort her—until she hears about the apartment. Suddenly, she's the one feeling left out and unloved. She’s got a short fuse and blows up, leaving Wang Yan completely exasperated.
The next day, Liao Fanmu does his hospital rounds, and Wang Yan’s mom corners him to ask about his intentions. He says he’s committed to Wang Yan and won’t leave just because she can’t have children, which finally gives her mom some peace.
After work, Gao Qian drives Wang Yan to the hospital. She’s so exhausted she falls asleep in the car. He doesn’t wake her—just lets her rest. When she wakes up, first thing she asks about? The Lingyue project. Gao Qian tells her it’s moving ahead, but warns her: Tang Ming and Zhao Zhao are both tough clients. The endorsement is short-term—for good reason.
That night, Wang Yan stays at the hospital, working late into the night. The next morning, Wang Lingjun shows up to take over. Wang Yan gives her some money and asks her to buy something nice for their parents—one small peace offering before heading back to the grind.
But just when things couldn’t get more emotionally loaded, Liao Fanmu’s parents visit the hospital. Their message? The engagement’s off. No more in-laws. After they leave, Wang Yan’s mom breaks down in tears.
Liao Fanmu later meets Wang Yan. She finally speaks her truth: she’s tried so hard, but she just doesn’t love him. He’s devastated. All that effort, all that waiting—and it still wasn’t enough.
Final thoughts:
This episode is an emotional rollercoaster—workplace politics, family expectations, and romantic heartbreak all collide. Wang Yan is caught between being the dependable daughter, the loyal employee, and the woman who’s still searching for her own path. And with Gao Qian quietly backing her up at every turn, one has to wonder... is there something more on the horizon?
