> You Are My Secret Recap
Tu Xiaoning and Ji Yuheng shared their accomplishments, and Ji Yuheng’s mother was overjoyed, revealing her deep nostalgia for the old house. She proposed organizing the old house and moving back there. Seeing this, Tu Xiaoning showed her deep concern for her mother-in-law and expressed her willingness to go with her to spend time together. At this moment, Tu Xiaoning’s parents arrived with a carefully prepared soup.
The scene was warm and harmonious, and the emotional exchange between the two families was smooth and natural, like one big family. Ji Yuheng opened up to Tu Xiaoning, expressing his envy of the harmonious relationship between her parents. He felt somewhat at a loss in his interactions with his mother. Tu Xiaoning gently reassured him, promising to always be by his side. Although Ji Yuheng successfully closed a business deal and everyone suggested celebrating, he declined the dinner invitation.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuhui attempted to use Ji Yuheng’s mother’s illness to get closer to him but was directly rejected by him, who made it clear that his heart was elsewhere. Tu Xiaoning happened to overhear this and cleverly used work as an excuse to take Ji Yuheng away from the scene, avoiding any awkwardness. Later, Ji Yuheng’s mother took him and Tu Xiaoning to visit his father’s grave, formally introducing Tu Xiaoning to her late husband.
Tu Xiaoning’s gentle and understanding nature endeared her to Ji Yuheng’s mother. At Tu Xiaoning’s insistence, Ji Yuheng eventually approached his father’s grave, bowing deeply and expressing his longing and commitment to his father. Back at the old house, Tu Xiaoning unexpectedly found a precious family photo in Ji Yuheng’s home. The warm image touched her heart. Ji Yuheng’s mother enthusiastically invited her to learn how to make dumplings, while sharing amusing stories about Ji Yuheng’s childhood.
Those carefree days seemed just like yesterday. Ji Yuheng quietly stood by the door, listening to his mother and Tu Xiaoning’s cheerful conversation, feeling a surge of complex emotions. He had once been a lively child, but his father’s death had created an insurmountable rift, subtly altering the family atmosphere and creating a growing distance between him and his mother. As Ji Yuheng’s mother sorted through her husband’s belongings, old memories were stirred.
She recalled the happy times when Ji Yuheng would always ask for dumplings, and felt a deep sense of regret. As night fell, Ji Yuheng noticed that his mother had not slept for a long time and went over to talk with her. They looked through old photo albums together, each picture holding past joys and tears.
Summoning courage, Ji Yuheng’s mother revealed her long-held regrets — after his father’s death, she was so consumed by grief that she neglected Ji Yuheng’s feelings, making him bear too much alone. With tears, she apologized to Ji Yuheng, admitting that she had wronged him over the years. Hearing this, Ji Yuheng’s eyes filled with tears.
He tightly held his mother’s hand, acknowledging that he too had had misunderstandings and resentments but had gradually come to understand her pain over time. At that moment, they finally opened up to each other, bridging the gap between them. They both understood that no matter how challenging the future might be, as long as family members support, understand, and forgive each other, no obstacle is insurmountable. The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtain gaps, gently waking Ji Yuheng.
On the dining table, his mother had prepared a steaming breakfast, filling the air with the comforting smell of home. Ji Yuheng had planned to take his mother out for a walk, but she expressed a desire to visit the graveyard alone, hoping he and Tu Xiaoning could enjoy some time together at the old house. While walking, Ji Yuheng opened up to Tu Xiaoning about the tragedy of his father’s suicide due to illegal loans.
During that time, both he and his mother endured immense pressure and misunderstanding, as if the whole world had turned its back on them. Ji Yuheng gratefully acknowledged that Tu Xiaoning’s presence had been like a beam of light piercing through the gloom in his heart, helping him find direction again. His current goal was to make the banking system more regulated to prevent similar tragedies.
Afterwards, they tried painting on pottery together, marking their first joint creative project filled with fun and mutual understanding. On their way back, Ji Yuheng’s mother mentioned her desire to learn to drive, looking forward to the day when she would return home after Ji Yuheng’s business trip. This visit to the old house not only greatly improved Ji Yuheng’s mother’s mood but also tightened the bonds within the entire family.
