Chapter 26: Kick out the White Moonlight, the Movie Emperor is Mine! - 26
Her eyes gradually reddened, tears welling up, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She remembered what Gu Zhishen had told her before, that he had severed ties with Mo Ziting and would have no further contact with her. But now? Why was he still using Mo Ziting as a publicity stunt for their on-screen couple image? Had he forgotten what he had said? Or was it all a lie, and she was just wishfully believing it?
Mu Wanwan felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, the pain making it hard to breathe. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her stomach churned violently. She felt as if she had lost all support and was about to collapse.
Teacher Li noticed her unusual behavior and exclaimed in a panic, "Teacher Mu... what's wrong with you!" Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
Mu Wanwan reached out and grabbed Teacher Li's arm, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.
"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing. Thank you for telling me!"
She straightened her back with effort, enduring the pain from her discomfort, and tried to appear nonchalant: "Class is about to start, I have to go back now." Despite her poor health, she decided to insist on returning to the classroom to continue teaching her students. Teacher Li stood quietly behind her, her gaze following her departing figure, her face full of resentment and helplessness.
"Piggy, I feel really unwell right now..." Mu Wanwan said softly, her voice revealing a hint of weariness and helplessness. Piggy keenly sensed the change in her emotions and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Mu Wanwan tilted her head slightly, looking up at the azure sky above, trying to force back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes. Piggy sensed the deep sadness in her heart and asked worriedly, "Master, why are you so sad? You can tell me what's on your mind."
Mu Wanwan sighed softly, a hint of confusion and sadness in her eyes: "Piggy, perhaps it's because I've become too immersed in this role, but I've actually developed feelings for Gu Zhishen."
After a moment of silence, the pig reminded her seriously, "Master, when carrying out a mission, do not easily let personal feelings get involved." Mu Wanwan nodded, indicating that she understood the implications. However, she could not easily sever the feelings in her heart.
Initially, Mu Wanwan treated this mission as just another job to be completed. But as time went on, her relationship with Gu Zhishen grew increasingly harmonious, and she found herself gradually drawn to him. The incident involving him and Mo Ziting truly hurt her deeply, leaving her heartbroken.
Seeing that she was truly heartbroken, Piggy could only sigh silently, "Fine, I'll give you a bottle of forgetfulness potion after your mission is over."
Exhausted, Mu Wanwan went straight to her bedroom after returning home. She closed and locked the door, quickly washed up, and then hid under the covers.
"Ziting, today is the last time I'll help you!" Mo Ziting stood in the photo studio, looking at Gu Zhishen with a complicated expression. Today they had just finished shooting the cover of a world-class magazine together, and this was the first time Mo Ziting had appeared on the cover of such a prestigious magazine in such a short period of time since her debut.
"Ah Shen, do we really have to be so clear about things?" Mo Ziting said softly, her tone tinged with helplessness and grievance.
Gu Zhishen frowned slightly, took off his coat, and casually tossed it to his manager. Then, he turned to Mo Ziting, his gaze resolute: "Ziting, you said you wanted to enter the entertainment industry and begged me to help you, and I only agreed out of consideration for our years of friendship. But now the online public opinion is becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and I can't continue like this. I don't care about myself, but I'm worried that my little rabbit at home will secretly be heartbroken."
Hearing this, Mo Ziting felt a sharp pain in her heart. She gritted her teeth and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Ah Shen, are you really that heartless? Even if you don't want to help me, you don't have to say it so harshly!"
Gu Zhishen took a deep breath, his eyes hardening. "I'm not being heartless; I just want to tell you the truth. Besides, I already have someone I love, and I want to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt. So, please don't ask me for help anymore." With that, he turned and left, leaving Mo Ziting standing there, stunned.
"Ah Shen, I know it's been difficult for you to take me. If Wanwan misunderstands us, I can go to her in person to explain. Our relationship isn't what's being portrayed online at all," Mo Ziting shouted unwillingly.
The agent shook his head, looking at Mo Ziting. This woman was such a green tea b*tch; she was clearly plotting to seduce someone else's boyfriend, yet she pretended to be innocent. But if her sister-in-law really misunderstood, the consequences would be unimaginable…
"Ziting, that's enough. You're determined to enter the entertainment industry, and I've done everything I could to guide you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Upon hearing Mo Ziting's words, Gu Zhishen paused slightly, but quickly resumed his normal pace. He left the photography studio without looking back, leaving Mo Ziting with only a cold, indifferent back view.
"Brother Gu, you should have kept your distance from her a long time ago. I can't stand it anymore. You've never used anyone's popularity to promote anyone since your debut. Even when the company pressured you, you never agreed to use your popularity to promote newcomers. But for Mo Ziting, you actually..."
The agent looked at Gu Zhishen in front of him and said with a helpless expression.
Gu Zhishen frowned slightly. He knew in his heart that what he was doing was indeed inappropriate, but he had no other choice.
He sighed and replied, "I know it was inappropriate, but Mo Ziting pleaded on the phone, saying that only I could help her. I really couldn't bear to refuse."
The agent shook his head. "Sigh, Brother Gu, you're just too kind. But after this, you still need to distance yourself from her and not let her use your popularity anymore."
Gu Zhishen nodded in agreement. He knew this incident had caused considerable controversy, and he needed to sever ties with Mo Ziting as soon as possible.
Throughout the journey, Gu Zhishen kept his eyes glued to his phone screen, muttering to himself.
He couldn't understand why his phone was so quiet today. Usually at this time, his wife would send him many messages, whether sharing interesting things in life or expressing how much she missed him.
Even when he was busy with work, he would always make time to reply to her. But today, there was no response at all. This unusual situation made him somewhat uneasy.
He couldn't help but start to worry. Had something happened to his wife? Or was she angry with him?
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and he grew increasingly anxious.
