My heart is attached to something and I have regrets.
At the wrap-up party, the crew members raised their glasses and laughed together. Ming Wei handled the situation perfectly, but her mind was filled with Mu Tingzhou's words.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhang sat down next to her with a glass of wine in his hand. "Miss, you seem to be in a trance tonight."
Ming Wei smiled back: "You used to call me Princess, but now you call me Miss. Will you change your name to a new one when we work together next time?"
Chen Zhang clinked glasses with her: "No matter how many times you change it, it's still a nickname. My real friend is Ming Wei."
Mingwei suddenly lost her soul.
The redness on her face faded instantly, and Chen Zhang was shocked: "You..."
Mingwei tried to pretend, but tears as big as beans fell down. She quickly wiped them away and said embarrassedly, "I'll go upstairs first." Then she put on a smile again and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall as naturally as possible.
Chen Zhang watched her go, and when he saw Mu Tingzhou following her not far away, he withdrew his gaze, feeling heavy-hearted. In the past three months, he had spent the most time with Ming Wei, and because he liked her, he couldn't help but pay attention to her. He could see the sweetness between Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou, and he could also feel the cold war between Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou.
Chen Zhang drank irritably. He liked Ming Wei, and he wanted her to be happy, even in someone else's arms.
"Princess… "
"Don't talk yet."
Outside the banquet hall, Ming Wei interrupted Mu Tingzhou without turning back and walked to the elevator with a smile.
Mu Tingzhou stood beside her in a protective manner. Thinking of her action of wiping tears just now, he suddenly felt guilty. He must have said something wrong.
Mingwei took Mu Tingzhou to her room.
"Master, I've thought it through. There's no chance for us two anymore." Ming Wei wiped away her tears with her back to him and spoke to him from the entrance. "What I'm saying has nothing to do with when you'll become an award-winning actor, or whether you'll forget me in the future. I just realized that the person in your heart isn't me at all."
Tears welled up in Ming Wei's eyes again. She couldn't hide them, nor did she want to. She didn't even give Mu Tingzhou a chance to explain: "Why did you think you were the Grand Tutor after the car accident? Because you were too immersed in the role, you couldn't let go of Princess Minghua. When you woke up from the car accident, all the kindness you showed me was because you treated me as a princess. Without this premise, you wouldn't have carried me away from the wedding banquet, wouldn't have been willing to be my assistant, wouldn't have served me tea... In the final analysis, it was the princess you wanted to take care of, and it was also the princess you liked, not me, Ming Wei!"
Being treated like a princess by a tall and handsome tutor, how romantic it was, she was so proud of it, she had decided to break up, but he made her waver again. Fortunately, Chen Zhang reminded her with an unintentional remark. She was Mingwei, the tutor loved Mingwei, she should feel sorry for him, the tutor loved the princess, why should she feel sorry for him!
Agreeing to get back together means agreeing to continue to accompany Mu Tingzhou in playing the role of the princess's tutor, but she is not a princess. She has been foolish in the past three months. If she continues to play with him and go crazy, not only will her original intention of accepting Mu Tingzhou as an assistant and helping him recover his memory not be realized, but even she, a normal person, will be infected and fall ill, contracting the princess disease he gave her.
With her vision blurred, Ming Wei took out her cell phone and called Xiao Zhao.
Before I could dial the number, my phone was suddenly snatched away.
Ming Wei didn't grab it, she sneered at his chest: "What else do you have to say?"
Her face was full of tears, and Mu Tingzhou felt extremely distressed: "If I have caused the princess so much pain, as long as the princess asks, I will leave immediately..."
"Okay, the filming is over. You and Xiao Zhao can go back tomorrow. You don't have to come to see me again. I will ask my friends to take away the things I left in your villa." Ming Wei just wanted him to leave quickly. It didn't matter whether he liked her or not, or whether he would be reluctant to leave. This relationship was muddled. She couldn't tell who he was and who he loved. She was too tired to separate them. With one knife, they were completely severed. It was good for both her and the actor. As for the tutor, he shouldn't have existed.
"Your Majesty, I obey your command." Mu Tingzhou took a few steps back and put his mobile phone on the table. He came back and passed by her. Mu Tingzhou paused and tilted his head to look at her.
Mingwei turned her head.
"It is my fault for making the princess sad and crying, but there is one thing I must clarify." Looking away, Mu Tingzhou said calmly, "I regard you as a princess, so I respect you and have no other thoughts at first. The princess is innocent, lively, diligent and hardworking, and I was moved. The princess asked me who I loved, but I didn't know. I only know that I have only been moved once in my life, and my feelings are definitely not for the title of princess."
Mingwei tried hard to hold back her tears.
He bowed behind him and said, "I will no longer serve you from now on. Princess, take care. I, Mu Yun, am leaving."
This time, he really left.
Not long after Mu Tingzhou left, Xiao Zhao came and knocked on the door. Mingwei couldn't bear to see any of them now. If she saw them, she couldn't control herself.
"Tingzhou asked me to book a flight for tomorrow, you..."
"Let's order it. Thank you for your care during this period." Mingwei lay in the quilt, covering her eyes and talking on the phone.
The girl's voice was hoarse and pitiful. One could tell she must have cried for a long time. Xiao Zhao sympathized with her, but as a manager, he considered more. After a moment of silence, he dutifully reminded her: "Tingzhou was inseparable from you before. Once you leave tomorrow, the media will definitely report and speculate. Have you thought about how to respond?"
Mingwei didn't think about it, all she thought about was him.
"How about we leave a few days later? You still have dubbing work..."
"No need, I can handle the dubbing by myself, you guys can go." Ming Wei was afraid that if she saw that face and those eyes again, she would regret it.
"The day after tomorrow. Let Shen Su send an assistant over tomorrow. I also want to discuss with her how to respond to the media." Xiao Zhao said calmly.
Mingwei asked him to take charge of the arrangements.
The next day, Shen Su and Mu Tingzhou's mother Dou Jing both came.
Mingwei put on light makeup and went to Mu Tingzhou's guest room with Shen Su for a meeting.
Only Xiao Zhao knew about her "private affair" with Mu Tingzhou. Dou Jing believed Xiao Zhao's words completely. When she saw Mingwei, she sincerely apologized: "Tingzhou has caused you trouble in the past few months. Now that Tingzhou has thought it through and is willing to go home to recuperate, I will take him home. But Xiao Zhao and I are very grateful to you. Weiwei, please come to see your aunt more often when you are free. If you encounter difficulties at work, you can look for Xiao Zhao. He is very smart."
Mingwei thanked her with a smile.
After the deal was settled, Mingwei and Shen Su sent Mu Tingzhou and the other two to take the elevator.
"Goodbye, Weiwei." After entering the elevator, Dou Jing waved to Mingwei with a smile.
Ming Wei smiled politely, her eyes still on Dou Jing. The elevator door slowly closed, leaving only a crack. She couldn't hold back after all. But it was too late. She only saw a black figure, the person's face and eyes, which were quickly blocked by the elevator, and then there was the sound of the elevator descending.
“… I, the guilty minister Mu Yun, take my leave.”
The tutor who had treated her so gently was gone just like that.

When Mu Tingzhou and his companions were leaving the hotel, they were surrounded by reporters who had rushed to the scene after hearing the news. When Mu Tingzhou and his two companions boarded the plane, the video was also posted online.
Mingwei leaned against the head of the bed and watched. In the video, Mu Tingzhou was wearing sunglasses and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
Xiao Zhao answered questions on behalf of the mother and son.
"Mr. Mu is leaving now. Has his memory been restored?"
"There is no obvious recovery, but Mingwei has been subtly influencing Tingzhou. Thanks to Mingwei, Tingzhou is no longer resistant to treatment, so we plan to go abroad for treatment."
After answering a question, more reporters immediately asked follow-up questions.
"If the treatment does not progress, will Mr. Mu continue to be Mingwei's assistant?"
"After Mr. Mu recovers, what will he think of this experience?"
Xiao Zhao first escorted Mu Tingzhou and his son into the car. After the door was closed, he pushed his glasses and said into the microphone, "No one can tell when Tingzhou will recover... Mingwei actively cooperated with us to help Tingzhou, and she tolerated Tingzhou's unreasonable behavior many times. The Mu family and I will remember this generosity and friendship, and hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with her in the future."
Mingwei smiled. Xiao Zhao was really good at talking. He was helping her build momentum, using his connections as the best actor to try to maintain her appeal to the film company.
However, ideals are full and reality is cruel.
Several potential projects that had once invited Mingwei to join have withdrawn their invitations or changed Mingwei's leading role to a supporting role. As for fans, to be honest, the two works starring Mingwei have not been released, and no one knows how good her acting skills are. The millions of new fans she gained were brought by Mu Tingzhou. Now that Mu Tingzhou has left her world, the trend of comments under Mingwei's Weibo has changed drastically. The number of fans who support her has begun to decrease, and more and more people have come to mock her.
"For new actors, it is better to be down-to-earth. The fame you earn yourself is real. The fame you gain by riding on others' coattails will fade away sooner or later."
"You are such a jerk. You got the bad luck to be a princess, but now Mu Tingzhou is gone, you are nothing."
"If someone else had played the role of the princess, Mu Tingzhou's princess would have been replaced. Mingwei is just lucky."
"Mingwei has made a lot of money. If it weren't for Mu Tingzhou, would she be able to star in "South City" with Chen Zhang? Wait, she just rode on Mu Tingzhou's popularity and will soon ride on Chen Zhang's. What a rotten vase!"
…
In just one afternoon, Mingwei's fairy tale world was shattered to pieces without leaving any trace.
Mingwei turned off the laptop, pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.
The cell phone rang, but Mingwei didn't move. After it rang for the third time, she got out of bed with red eyes and picked up the cell phone.
"I'm in the hotel lobby. Which room are you staying in?"
Dad's voice was loud and full of vigor. Receiving the concern of her relatives, Mingwei cried even harder and choked up as she reported the room number. Two minutes later, Mingwei opened the door and saw a large bunch of bright and colorful roses.
Mingwei was stunned. Did the other party go to the wrong door
The bouquet was suddenly lowered, revealing Mingqiang's still handsome face, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bronze skin that exuded masculinity.
"Is it worth crying about such a small thing? The Princess Taifu is a fake, but you are the real princess in the hands of your mother and me, aren't you better than a fake one?" Ming Qiang walked in and stuffed the bouquet of roses he had carefully selected into his daughter's arms. He scolded his daughter, but his eyes were filled with a father's concern for his precious daughter.
Mingwei burst into laughter.
Yes, who said she is no longer a princess? Without the tutor, she still has her parents and sisters, and she lives a good life. (8 Chinese website.8z.)
