Chapter 20: A Kiss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On one hand, she was jealous of Su Ran, but on the other hand, she thought that Lin Su liked women like Su Ran.

The original Luo Ying, who had undeniably beautiful and elegant features, soon learned how to dress like Su Ran. She made herself look plain and frail all day long, put on unsuitable makeup, and wore unsuitable clothes. She made herself look a few levels worse.

Coupled with her eye-piercing acting skills, almost all her fans who originally fawned over her looks ran away. Luo Ying soon became a meme of endless bad decisions. Lu Zhao’s evaluation of her acting career had not been far from the truth.

But that was just an evaluation of the original Luo Ying. Now, Luo Ying was a top actress in singing, dancing, and acting. How could she let these bad labels continue to be associated with her?

“That’s because I didn’t put my heart into acting before,” she said. Lu Zhao did not look convinced. “Look, when I really settle down and start acting, I’m sure I’ll be able to amaze the world with a single brilliant film.”

Lu Zhao did not deny her words, but when he spoke, he sounded flat. “Your performance in front of the police just now was indeed quite amazing. At least, it shocked me.”

At least, even he had trouble telling which side of her was the real her.

Luo Ying snorted coldly. Just you wait and see.

Just then, her manager, Xia Lan, who had not appeared for several days, suddenly showed up.

“Luo Ying, you’re scheduled to show up at the WeChat’s Fashion Night tomorrow. You have to walk the red carpet and perform a song on stage. Are you ready?”

Luo Ying had looked through her phone last night and knew that this was the only appearance the original Luo Ying had been scheduled for throughout the entire month. Naturally, she had to pay attention. However, Luo Ying, who had read the original book, knew very well that the company had not done this for her benefit. Instead, they wanted her to be Su Ran’s backdrop.

After more than three years of turmoil, Luo Ying’s commercial value had fallen sharply. The company was ready to give up on her and was ready to promote the best newcomer, Su Ran. Therefore, the company had specially arranged for the two of them to walk the red carpet together and perform on stage together. They wanted to use Luo Ying to set off Su Ran’s rise.

In order to achieve their goal, they did not hesitate to exchange the company’s resources and borrow the latest season’s branded dress for Su Ran. They also hired a famous teacher to train her in secret, so that she could shine on the red carpet.

At the same time, in order to make her stand out even more, they gave Luo Ying a gown that didn’t suit her at all. They also put on makeup that didn’t suit her at all. It was all so that she could stand beside Su Ran and be overshadowed by her. This was the perfect backdrop for Su Ran.

Luo Ying looked at the message and sneered. No one had ever been able to step on her to get to the top. Not in the past, and not in the future. She replied with a short “oh” to show that she understood.

Xia Lan seemed to have been expecting Luo Ying’s reply. She immediately replied, “The company has already prepared the dress and the makeup team for you. You just need to remember to arrive at the company before three in the evening tomorrow.”

Luo Ying couldn’t be bothered to entertain this snake. She put down her phone. She rested her chin on her hands and stared at Lu Zhao with a pair of fiery eyes. “Can you do me a favor?”

With such an intense gaze, Lu Zhao’s mind wavered for a moment. He frowned and looked away from the report, raising his head to look at her. “What would that be?”

“I’m going to attend a red carpet event tomorrow, and I’m lacking a gown and a makeup team. Can you help me with that?”

Lu Zhao retorted, “Didn’t your company prepare it for you?”

Luo Ying rolled her eyes. “Do you think they would know how to dress me up?”

Luo Ying stood up and struck a pose. “With my figure and looks, it would be a waste if I don’t put on a show on the red carpet!” After saying that, she stood on the tip of her toes and turned in a circle.

The hem of her ginger-yellow dress swayed with Luo Ying’s movements like waves in a sea of flowers, and a faint, sweet scent brushed against the back of Lu Zhao’s hand on his knee. Lu Zhao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and after a long time, he replied, “Okay, I’ll get someone to prepare it for you.”

“Wow, I know you’re the best, hubby!” Luo Ying clapped her hands and pounced on Lu Zhao. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. “I’d better get to practicing for tomorrow!”

Luo Ying stomped up to the specially designed training room on the second floor, leaving Lu Zhao frozen in the living room.
