Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 662: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (11)

Chapter 662: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (11)

Luo Ning’s clothes and accessories needed a complete overhaul, so she agreed.

Online shopping was highly developed. The entire Empire had even established a virtual world network, which could be accessed through spiritual power to enter virtual malls for shopping and trying on clothes.

However, after making a purchase, you couldn’t take the items away immediately; they had to be delivered to your door by the merchant.

Of course, physical stores also still existed. Usually, people would choose to visit them with friends, family, or with a boyfriend/husband for a more interactive experience.

Bo Xiao drove to pick up Luo Ning, and the two shopped for several hours, buying a ton of clothes and jewelry.

Luo Ning also went to get a new hairstyle.

She turned her soft, straight hair into big wavy curls and dyed it a challenging, bright, and eye-catching red.

Her skin was fair, her features delicate and charming, and with those red waves cascading down to her waist, she looked stunning and even more radiant.

Bo Xiao was full of astonishment and admiration upon seeing the transformed Luo Ning.

And she insisted on Luo Ning trying on the sexy black slip dress they had just bought at the mall, which accentuated her figure from front to back.

Once on, it indeed looked a lot better than the more demure dress she wore before.

The original owner, due to Ling Ge’s preferences, had always dressed somewhat conservatively, which actually didn’t suit her looks and temperament.

Now that Luo Ning was here, she naturally wore whatever she was happy and comfortable in.

And the effect was truly striking.

Bo Xiao felt that it would be a waste for Ningning not to go out in that outfit.

So, swinging her hand playfully, she said, "Let’s go hit the bars. It’s been a long time since we last drank together."

Luo Ning laughed indulgently, "Sure!"

It was already dark. The two first had dinner and then moved on to a bar.

The second and third generations of top-tier wealthy households all had their own circles and places to hang out.

The bar they went to was a favorite among the children from these privileged families.

The place didn’t engage in any vulgar business; ordinary people, even with money, couldn’t get in to spend it.

Only Nobles were allowed to play there.

There were both a hall and private rooms, but most who were there purely to party or drink would choose the hall.

For gatherings, business talks, or birthdays, they would book a private room.

Bo Xiao was a regular here, and though Luo Ning seldom came, the doormen recognized her.

They went straight in after a facial recognition check.

As soon as Bo Xiao walked into the hall with Luo Ning on her arm, they attracted everyone’s attention.

Luo Ning was simply too sexy, enchanting, and stunning today, with perfect face and figure, plus her newly dyed and curled hair — she was impossible to ignore.

On closer inspection, this was the Luo Ning from the Imperial Rose, the one who had caused a stir in the entire upper-class circle. It was no wonder everyone was getting excited.

Many who knew Luo Ning were visibly shocked and dumbfounded.

Was this the same person who used to dress conservatively and was gradually becoming more and more ladylike and wifely?

It was too surprising and captivating.

Indeed, the Imperial Rose should dress as vibrantly and attractively as she was right now. Her previous attire was too bland and plain—it didn’t showcase her beauty at all.

Now, she truly resembled a rose with thorns, attracting everyone and making them unable to resist the urge to pick her.

Luo Ning was already accustomed to such attention and continued forward with an unaffected expression.

Bo Xiao leaned in close to her ear and giggled, "Ningning, you’re like walking pheromones right now. Those men’s gazes, they look like they could just eat you up."

Luo Ning gave her a sidelong glance, "Enough already."

"In a bit, let’s go dance. I’m particularly excited right now."

Continuing in a humming tone, Bo Xiao said, "If only Scum Ling were here to see this, to witness your beauty and regret his past decisions."

Ningning from our family is so beautiful, she’s way better than that Leng Ying.

It’s just that previously Ningning was too conservative. Now that she’s unleashing her charm and letting Ling Zha see, seeing him regret it is very satisfying.

Luo Ning shrugged her shoulders, "What he thinks no longer has anything to do with me."

The two of them walked over to Bo Xiao’s usual spot and sat down, ordering two drinks.

They chatted while drinking.

Soon, someone familiar came over to strike up a conversation.

Zu Xinyu looked at Luo Ning and smiled, "Luo Ning, you look really beautiful today, so stunning that I almost didn’t recognize you."

Luo Ning swirled her drink, "As long as you recognize me in the future."

Zu Xinyu asked, "Luo Ning, are you really giving up on Ling Ge?"

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "I thought the action I took on Star Post had already made my decision clear."

Zu Xinyu raised an eyebrow too, "No regrets? After all, you’ve been chasing after him for over a decade."

People on their level all knew how over the years Luo Ning had been chasing after Ling Ge, helping him clear up a lot of messes.

The key issue was that Ling Ge’s attitude was far from good, acting like he could discard her at any moment, while Luo Ning, as the young lady of the Luo Family’s direct lineage, still remained persistent no matter how she was treated.

Sometimes, everyone thought Luo Ning had water in her brain.

Suddenly hearing that Luo Ning was giving up, they all felt a bit unreal.

Luo Ning couldn’t help but chuckle, lifting her drink to take a sip, "What’s there to regret? That decade-plus of chasing might as well have gone to the dogs."

"I’ll consider it as repayment for the time he saved me on that Deserted Star. Once repaid, it’s time to end it."

Many people didn’t know why the original occupant of this body had chased Ling Ge, and she never explained it either.

The kidnapping on the Deserted Star involved two top-tier households, so the news was suppressed.

The upper-class families did know that the original Luo Ning and Ling Ge were both imprisoned by Star Thieves before being rescued.

But they didn’t know about the incident where Ling Ge had saved the original occupant’s life.

Because of this, many people thought the original had a screw loose, as the most honored young lady of the Luo Family she shamelessly chased after Ling Ge, completely baffling everyone.

Bootlicker, lovesick—those were the labels attached to the original.

Although Luo Ning also felt that the original was a bit lovesick, going over the top with her pursuit and love for Ling Ge,

she couldn’t deny the original’s pure and genuine love. It was just a pity that it was all for naught.

Previously, the original didn’t bother to explain; knowing her love for Ling Ge was enough.

But Luo Ning felt it was necessary to speak out, to let everyone know the original wasn’t brainless.

Ling Ge had left a very deep impression on her at a young age, and it was his silent consent and indulgence that led to this outcome.

Both were at fault, but Ling Ge was certainly not innocent.

By this time, several people had come over, also looking to chat.

Hearing Luo Ning’s words, they all sat down nearby.

"You’ve been chasing after Ling Ge for so many years because he once saved you?" someone asked, astonished.

Luo Ning nodded, "Yeah. You all should have heard about the time Ling Ge and I were kidnapped to the Deserted Star by Star Thieves. At that time..."

She briefly recounted what had happened back then.

"At first, I found his figure very imposing, so I liked chasing after him, and he acknowledged that,"

"It was also because of his consent and indulgence that I thought we liked each other, which made me fall deeper and deeper."

She shrugged, "Who would have thought it wasn’t like that for him? The wedding incident gave me a wake-up call."

"There’s an old saying from Ancient Earth that I think is very fitting."

"If he’s heartless, I’ll let him go. So, since Ling Ge gave up on the wedding, I’ve given up on him."

She knew these guys were all into gossip, so she satisfied their curiosity.
