Mingwei walked into Mu Tingzhou's three-story villa wrapped in curtains.
Xiao Zhao lazily leaned on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in her hand. Seeing her dressed like this, the man put down the teacup and smiled with gloating: "It seems that the master is more powerful than the princess."
"I'm hungry and don't have the energy to fight him." Ming Wei sat down across from Xiao Zhao without any politeness and said angrily. She was really hungry. She had a simple breakfast and had been standing as a bridesmaid for the whole morning. She finally waited until the meal started, but before she could even start eating, her chopsticks were snatched away by Mu Tingzhou. She was starving and exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Eat here. I asked Aunt Zhao to cook your portion." Xiao Zhao glanced at the kitchen and said with a smile.
Ming Wei nodded. There were reporters everywhere outside and the storm was high. She had to eat well to have the energy to break through.
Ignoring Mu Tingzhou tacitly, Ming Wei reached out from the curtains, opened Weibo and asked Xiao Zhao: "Has it been exposed?"
Just half an hour had passed since the kidnapping at the Mutinzhou Hotel.
"It's on the hot search list, but your identity hasn't been revealed yet. The new followers on your Weibo are mainly from the circles influenced by the guests, as well as the quick Weibo users." Xiao Zhao answered immediately, his voice steady and very professional, "But your news will definitely be announced to the public by this afternoon at the latest."
Ming Wei listened absentmindedly, her phone on silent mode, watching a video uploaded by an unknown guest. In it, Mu Tingzhou appeared cold and aloof, his mentally ill nature did not detract from his handsome appearance at all. Against the backdrop of such a handsome actor, she, wrapped like a caterpillar in the gray curtains, looked like a fool no matter how she looked at it.
Mingwei turned off the video painfully and threw the curtains onto the sofa opposite.
Xiao Zhao glanced over instinctively.
The young girl leaned against the sofa with a stern face, dark eyebrows and watery eyes, white skin and red lips, and thin shoulders like jade. The tube-top dress below perfectly fulfilled its design purpose. Ming Wei had a slender figure and a full but not exaggerated chest, which was in line with the oriental aesthetic. The hem of the dress only covered the knees, and her two slender legs were close together and slightly tilted. In the white stiletto heels, her feet were white and clean, and her nails were shiny and lovely.
Everywhere is beautiful, natural, fresh and pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Zhao stopped at the tasting after appreciating it briefly, then withdrew his gaze like a gentleman and lowered his head to drink his tea.
Mu Tingzhou went back and saw that the princess had thrown away the curtains again. He walked down the stairs quickly with a gloomy face, then deliberately stood facing Xiao Zhao and handed a black casual suit to Ming Wei: "Princess, please change your clothes."
Xiao Zhao let out a light laugh.
Mu Tingzhou glanced at him indifferently.
Mingwei was upset, and the temperature in the villa was not as suitable as in the hotel banquet hall, so she grabbed her clothes and ran straight to the bathroom.
Mu Tingzhou stared at Xiao Zhao as if he was monitoring him.
Xiao Zhao shook his teacup and bowed his head to persuade the actor: "When a woman wears a skirt, you can control it today but not in the future. Instead of annoying her every day and forcing her to dislike you even more, it is better to accept the reality as soon as possible and get along happily."
Mu Tingzhou did not respond. When he heard the door closing, he looked back, sat down, poured tea for the princess first, and then poured his own.
In the bathroom, Mingwei squatted, rolled up her trouser legs several times before she finally closed them. She stood up and looked in the mirror, like a child deliberately wearing adult clothes. The suit should be Mu Tingzhou's, but it looked very new. I don't know if he has ever worn it. The phone screen on the sink kept flashing, and there were continuous calls and WeChat messages. Mingwei ignored them all and called her sister first.
Ming Qiao was in the cafeteria. After listening to her sister's recent situation, she was a little worried: "Will it affect you?"
Ming Wei pretended to be relaxed: "No, my sister is taking advantage of me. I will definitely be on the headlines tonight. I'm famous now. Are you afraid that no one will ask me to film? I'm afraid the paparazzi will go to school to disturb you." Celebrities don't have *, but the Ming family has no shameful secrets. It's easy to deal with her parents. Ming Wei is only worried about affecting her sister's studies.
"Sister, take care of yourself and don't worry about me." Mingqiao was unexpectedly calm.
"Well, if you have something to say, call me. If you can't reach me, you can call Sister Shen or Xiao Zhao. I'll send you the number later."
After instructing her younger sister and sending the contact information, Mingwei bit her lip and called her father with a different mood.
Mingqiang and Jiangyue were having lunch. Without the children around, they were less cautious. Mingqiang deliberately stayed close to his wife, as sweet as when they were young. After receiving a call from his daughter, Mingqiang coughed and his voice became serious: "… I'm having lunch with your mother. Has Weiwei eaten yet?"
Mingwei leaned against the door and whispered.
Hearing that his daughter was playing the female lead in a costume drama behind his back, Mingqiang grinned with pride. When he learned that the male lead of the TV series was the popular actor Mu Tingzhou, Mingqiang was even more proud. With Mu Tingzhou in the lead, how could the TV series be bad? This proved that his daughter was good enough. But when his daughter told him what happened after Mu Tingzhou's car accident, Mingqiang's smile turned into a frown.
"What princess tutor? Does he think you're pretty and pretend to be stupid to pester you?" In Mingqiang's heart, his daughter is the best. Other women try every means to pursue the movie emperor, but when it comes to his own daughter, it's the movie emperor who pesters her. He is so protective and confident.
Ming Wei felt embarrassed because her father thought too highly of her. She lowered her voice and said, "No, before he lost his memory, he looked at me with disdain and hardly spoke to me. Now he kneels down to me at every turn. What normal person would do that?" Mu Tingzhou might not even have knelt down to his parents.
Mingqiang was a little convinced that the actor was really ill, but he was still unhappy: "Weiwei, leave him alone, let's not get involved in this mess."
Ming Wei sighed: "It's easy to say, the BMW boss wants your help, can you just ignore it?"
Mingqiang runs a BMW 4S store.
"Weiwei, why don't we stop acting? Acting is tiring and we have to deal with paparazzi. Mom is afraid you can't handle it." Jiang Yue snatched the phone and anxiously advised her daughter, her pretty face turning pale unknowingly.
Mingqiang suddenly thought of his wife's secret, and his thick eyebrows gradually frowned.
Ming Wei was unaware of this and whispered coquettishly, "Mom, I like acting. It's much more interesting than being a translator."
Jiang Yue pursed her lips and struggled for a while, but finally couldn't bear to let her daughter down, so she said softly, "Okay, then you be careful, you don't have to worry about the family."
After communicating with her family, Mingwei no longer had any worries and called Shen Su.
Jiang Yue lost her appetite to continue eating, she was distracted with the chopsticks in her hand.
Mingqiang once promised her not to ask about the past, but now it concerns his eldest daughter. Mingqiang took away his wife's chopsticks, supported her shoulders and turned her around, looking down into her eyes: "Yue'er, you don't want Weiwei to act, are you afraid that Weiwei will become famous and that person will come to claim her?"
Jiang Yue lowered her head, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Are you afraid? Of course you are afraid. You are afraid that your peaceful life will be disrupted. You are afraid that your daughter will know the truth and feel sad that her father is not her biological father. But your daughter likes acting, so she can't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope. That year, she went to a hotel to perform. A rich boss put something in her tea. She didn't know when she drank it. After drinking it, she felt something wrong and wanted to leave immediately. Before she walked out of the hotel, she was confused. She vaguely remembered bumping into a man...
The next day, Jiang Yue woke up in a man's arms in a strange guest room. She felt cold all over and thought that she had been abused by that bad boss. She cried bitterly.
But the one who took her virginity was someone else. He was not happy with her crying and mocked her while putting on his clothes: "You threw yourself into my arms last night, and I was kind enough to satisfy you. Why are you crying now?"
He was a tall and handsome man with a cold face and arrogant and contemptuous eyes. He asked her what her name was, but she just cried. He finally lost his patience and threw her a stack of banknotes and a note: "I am a little interested in you, but I never force anyone. Here is my number. It depends on your mood whether you want to call or not."
The man left. Jiang Yue tore up the note and did not ask for his money. She only remembered his name.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, she recognized him. The banquet that night was hosted by a local wealthy businessman to entertain him.
She got dressed and went home, washing herself several times, but unfortunately, she still got pregnant. She was unlucky. She was seen by an acquaintance when she went to the hospital for diagnosis, and the acquaintance threatened to have sex with her. Her parents were conservative, and she was afraid. She was dragged away by the man in a panic. Fortunately, Mingqiang saw them.
Mingqiang is one of her pursuers. It is rude and sturdy. It is by no means Jiang Yue's favorite type.
The birth of the child was unhappy and she was extremely tormented during the pregnancy and almost became depressed. It was Mingqiang who took good care of her and worked hard without complaint. When the child was born and she saw Mingqiang's happy and bright smile, her heart, which had long been shaken, completely opened up for him.
Therefore, Jiang Yue sincerely hoped that the noble man had already forgotten her and would not associate Weiwei's bloodline with him.

villa.
After lunch, Xiao Zhao went upstairs, and Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou sat face to face in the living room.
"Mu Tingzhou, I want to make three rules with you. If you agree, we can continue to cooperate. If you don't agree, we'll break up as soon as possible."
Mingwei held her head high and maintained a firm attitude.
Mu Tingzhou was as steady as a rock: "Princess, speak first."
Ming Wei held up a finger and said, "First, you are not allowed to kneel down and kowtow, under any circumstances."
Mu Tingzhou looked at her and hummed reluctantly: "Okay."
The start was smooth, and Ming Wei continued, "Second, if you feel that I have done something wrong, you can raise your opinions and we can discuss it calmly, but I have absolute control over my words and actions. If communication is ineffective, you must listen to me and cannot force me to do anything, including my clothing style."
Mu Tingzhou pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time.
Ming Wei stood up and said, "If you don't agree, forget it. We have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"Princess." Mu Tingzhou stepped in front of her and stopped her from leaving.
Ming Wei raised her head and asked provocatively, "Agree?"
Mu Tingzhou didn't want to agree, but he only had the title of Grand Tutor but not the power. The princess insisted on her own way, and he really had no way to force her.
"I can agree to this, but Princess, please promise me that no matter what you do in the future, you must inform me first."
Ming Wei curled her lips and turned her head and asked, "Do I have to report to you if I go to the bathroom?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mu Tingzhou's face, and he took a step back and said, "No need to deal with daily trivial matters, but Princess, you must inform me of who you are going to meet and where you are going."
Ming Wei thought about it and sat back on the sofa: "Okay, let's each make some concessions."
Mu Tingzhou did not sit down again, but looked at her inquiringly: "Besides these two points, what else does the princess want me to do?"
The once handsome and aloof actor now called her "princess" all the time. Thinking of what she was going to say next, Ming Wei's face got hot for no reason, and her voice was no longer as confident as before: "I, I know you treat me as a princess, but there are differences between men and women. From now on, you should try to be cold to me, don't talk if you can, and don't have any physical contact... lest someone sees and it's hard to explain."
She really doesn't want to have a scandal with the movie emperor, and doesn't want to become the imaginary enemy of millions of female fans.
The first two points were difficult for Mu Tingzhou to agree to, but he easily accepted this one and said calmly, "Don't worry, Princess. I know my limits."
She is a princess and he is a tutor, so they should maintain the etiquette between monarch and subject.
