Chapter 10: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -10
The pig hopped and skipped around, choosing five million without hesitation.
"Are you stupid? With Gu Zhishen, you could have as many five million dollars as you want! That's why I choose Gu Zhishen!"
“But Master, you have already accepted the bank card, which means you are going to sever ties with Gu Zhishen.”
“No way! I want both the money and the person! I’m not stupid enough to turn down money that’s offered to me.” Her eyes were firm and resolute.
She knew that accepting the card would mean accepting her separation from Gu Zhishen, and she wouldn't let this woman in front of her get away with it so easily.
"Miss Mo, thank you for bringing me the card."
Mu Wanwan got up, picked up her bag, and left without looking back.
"A stand-in is nothing special; you can just pay them off, ha..."
The next day
Mu Wanwan took advantage of her lunch break to ask Gu Zhishen out.
Gu Zhishen's gloomy mood vanished instantly, while his assistant, who was serving him, looked completely bewildered.
Aside from filming, Gu Yingdi hasn't smiled at all these past few days. Just a moment ago he looked miserable, like someone owed him a fortune, but a second ago he was all smiles.
He's the male lead, working non-stop every day and immersing himself in the film crew. The director is worried about him overworking himself, and his fans will definitely tear him apart, for the sake of the movie star's health, for the quality of the filming, and for the box office...
Gu Zhishen asked the director for leave, and the director immediately approved it, telling him to go home and rest for a few days.
Mu Wanwan took the initiative to ask him out, and he excitedly had a stylist do his hair and makeup, making repeated changes until he was satisfied. This was their first date, so he had to take it seriously. Looking at himself in the mirror, handsome and dashing, he was certain his wife would fall in love at first sight and be unable to look away. Maybe tonight he could hold his sweet and soft wife in his arms!
Thinking about this, my desire to see her became even stronger.
Considering that Gu Zhishen is a public figure, Mu Wanwan booked a restaurant he frequented that was known for its excellent privacy.
Gu Zhishen arrived at the private room early, frequently raising his wrist to check if the agreed time had arrived, and constantly watching for any movement at the door.
After changing her clothes at a leisurely pace, Mu Wanwan hurried to her destination. With the appointed time fast approaching, Piggy reminded her, "Master, there are only 10 minutes left. You're going to be late!"
“He abandoned me for days without a second thought, not even a basic greeting. I waited for him for days, crying all the time, and he couldn’t take it after only half an hour…”
Mu Wanwan criticized him without changing her expression, and even Piggy was too embarrassed to listen.
Why are you crying your eyes out? I wonder who's been letting loose at home every day, completely unrestrained and so happy they're about to explode.
"Yes, yes, Master, you must give that scumbag a good beating this time."
Mu Wanwan arrived late, standing at the door with her head down like a child who had made a mistake.
Gu Zhishen wasn't angry; he simply looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and doting. His high spirits contrasted sharply with Mu Wanwan's dejected state. She looked utterly exhausted, as if she had lost all her vitality.
He got up and went to take her hand, but she dodged him by turning to the side.
"Mr. Gu, please have some self-respect!"
Mu Wanwan extinguished his eager anticipation with just six words. She bit her lip, walked around Gu Zhishen, and sat down, her bangs covering her reddened eyes.
"Wife!"
He called her "wife" tenderly.
But when she heard the word "wife," she burst into tears, like a flood breaking through a dam.
“Mr. Gu, your white moonlight, Miss Mo, has returned. I should withdraw like the afterglow of the setting sun… I haven’t forgotten our promise. I have always remembered that I am her substitute.”
Gu Zhishen's heart was in turmoil, like a ball of yarn tangled by a cat.
"I……"
He wanted to say that she didn't need to withdraw, but it was he who said it, and he was thinking about how to explain.
Mu Wanwan placed the card in her hand in front of him.
"I told you that being with you was my own choice, and I've already left on my own initiative, without bothering you anymore. Why? Why do you have to use money to trample on my dignity!"
Money? What money?
He was already confused by Mu Wanwan's words, wait...
She said he humiliated her with money? In other words, he gave her the card himself.
He had no recollection of ever applying for a card from this bank.
Moreover, he never had anyone bring her any cards.
Seeing his calm, bewildered expression, which was more dramatic than acting, she decided to add fuel to the fire.
She looked at him with unwavering eyes, her voice low and powerful, as if she had made a firm decision: "My love for you is pure, it cannot be measured by money, and it cannot be humiliated. I misjudged you! Gu Zhishen, from now on I will take back my love for you."
After saying this, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart, but she still forced herself not to let the tears fall.
Mu Wanwan struggled to her feet, her body unsteady, and she swayed a few times before managing to stand firmly.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, forced back her tears to make herself look less disheveled, and continued, "From now on, we're strangers. I wish you and Miss Mo happiness." Her tone was frighteningly calm, as if she had lost all emotion.
Gu Zhishen's eyes widened in disbelief. He tried to explain, but Mu Wanwan wouldn't listen and turned to leave. He reached out to grab her, but grasped only air. Watching her departing figure, he was filled with regret and self-reproach. He knew that this time he had truly broken her heart.
He had been looking forward to the date, thinking it would ease his longing, but instead, his wife broke up with him.
He didn't care that he was a public figure at all, and grabbed his bank card to chase after her.
Mu Wanwan walked outside the restaurant and looked up at the sky. The dark, overcast sky seemed to match her current predicament even more.
"Master, how could you leave? Didn't you come here to win back his heart? If you leave, it's all over for you two!"
The system pig was extremely anxious; it couldn't let its owner leave.
"Who said I was leaving? Count down three."
"3..."
2...
1…
The pig quickly finished counting.
"Wife! Please don't go!" Mu Wanwan heard Gu Zhishen's pleading voice behind her.
"Master, he's come after us!"
Mu Wanwan was overjoyed. "Piggy, you can move aside now."
The pig had no choice but to obediently hide, leaving the space to the two of them.
Gu Zhishen only felt relieved when he saw that the person hadn't gone far. He turned Mu Wanwan's body to face him and said, "Wife, you sentenced me to death without giving me a chance to explain. I want to appeal."
Mu Wanwan raised her hand and wiped away her tears haphazardly. "You already decided that I wouldn't be your fate, so what are you complaining about!"
