Mom and Dad: Date First, Work Later

share time: 2026-02-03 06:01:13

Su Xiao and Lin Chuan are a five-year married couple stuck in the “work-parent” cycle—juggling project deadlines and their daughter’s homework, even forgetting their anniversary except for a WeChat note: “Remember to pick up the kid.” Their world turns upside down when their daughter Xiaotang slams her kindergarten “love task card” on the coffee table: “You don’t even act like a couple! I want new parents!” To save their family status, they’re forced to start a “date first, work later” challenge: detouring for each other’s favorite soy milk in the morning, pretending to be first-time daters at the milk tea shop downstairs after work, and even digging out their college couple shirts. Just as they rediscover the spark, a career storm hits: Su Xiao’s promotion requires a three-month business trip, and Lin Chuan’s project demands all-nighters. Can this “reworking couple” hold onto their rediscovered romance while balancing their careers?
