"Boss lady, should we call Miss Qingcheng out? We can hardly hold them off outside anymore..." A beauty in a cheongsam looked worriedly at the footage on the screen, then frowned and spoke to Yanyu. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Wait a little longer." Yanyu also frowned.

Brat, you’d better not waste all your senior sister’s painstaking efforts.

Yanyu hadn’t expected this would end up attracting the attention of so many big shots in Jiangdu City.

The situation was already beyond her control now.

If this matter wasn’t handled properly, Subverting State and City would very likely be facing the risk of shutting down.

She didn’t really care about Subverting State and City; back when she founded it, it was only because she wanted a place to stay after fleeing from Blue Enchantress.

But now, she and Subverting State and City had formed a very deep bond.

Besides, even if she herself didn’t care about Subverting State and City, what about all the sisters of Subverting State and City?

Once they left Subverting State and City, those poor girls would suffer even more miserable treatment.

At Subverting State and City, at least they could get very generous pay, and to some extent choose their clients.

Everyone knew that in this line of work you were eating your youth for a living; a lot of girls got riddled with illnesses in no time.

Whereas the people who came to spend money at Subverting State and City were all high-end clientele; they were very cautious about their own physical safety, so to a certain extent they could guarantee the health of the girls serving them.

But if they left Subverting State and City and ended up in those low-grade clubs, things probably wouldn’t be so good.

"That damned brat, and he still hasn’t shown up!" As time went by, even Yanyu was starting to lose her composure.

Wang Dadong had really dumped a monstrous problem on her.

If Wang Dadong didn’t show up tonight, she would have no choice but to hand Luo Qingcheng over.

By then, not only would Subverting State and City’s number one leading lady have to entertain guests for free for a month, even the Phoenix Dance Art on Luo Qingcheng’s body would be wasted.

But no matter how far things went, she would absolutely never personally go entertain guests.

That was her bottom line.

In a luxurious private room, Luo Qingcheng had already put on a red bridal dress, with exquisite makeup on her face.

Putting on a bridal dress, for a girl, was definitely the most important, happiest moment of her life.

But for Luo Qingcheng, it wasn’t.

Because she wasn’t getting married, she was...

Luo Qingcheng sat dazed in front of the mirror, looking at her own flawless face in the reflection, sighing over and over in her heart.

She didn’t regret being born with such a pretty face.

Because if not for this face, maybe Yanyu wouldn’t have saved her back then, and she, along with her family, would have died in that famine.

However, on Luo Qingcheng’s sorrow-filled face, a faint smile gradually surfaced again.

She’d thought of that man again.

That man who was so utterly ordinary, yet dared to say he would give her freedom.

The time they spent together had been very short, but it had been very happy.

That was the first time she’d eaten spicy hotpot skewers to her heart’s content, until she was stuffed.

The reason that man had moved Luo Qingcheng so much wasn’t just because he dared to say he would give her freedom; more importantly, even though he’d had every chance to take her, he had always treated her with respect and distance.

He had given her a faint, almost-like-love feeling.

"Luo Qingcheng, Luo Qingcheng, did you really think you were some kind of Goddess? You’re nothing but a toy. No matter how pretty a toy is, it’s still just a toy..." Luo Qingcheng sighed faintly.

"Boss lady, we can’t hold them off any longer. If we don’t send Luo Qingcheng out, they’ll just smash up Subverting State and City!" The cheongsam beauty’s face was extremely anxious; her once-neat cheongsam was torn in places, and her hair was in complete disarray.

Those people had gone crazy; if the security guards hadn’t escorted her back, she probably wouldn’t have made it.

"Luo Qingcheng, Luo Qingcheng, we want Luo Qingcheng!"

"Luo Qingcheng has to entertain guests for free for a month, or we’ll shut Subverting State and City down!"

"..."

The roars from the hall were growing more and more deafening.

Yanyu closed her eyes in pain and sighed. "Go call Qingcheng."

However, Luo Qingcheng had already walked in.

"Sister Yu." Luo Qingcheng’s eyes were as calm as still water as she looked at Yanyu.

Since she had stepped out of that room, it meant she was already prepared for everything.

It was just entertaining guests, after all. For someone in their line of work, this was originally her duty; whether it was one client or a whole group—what difference did it make?

"Qingcheng, this is hard on you..." Yanyu stretched out her hand, patted Luo Qingcheng’s shoulder, and sighed heavily.

Luo Qingcheng gave a desolate smile, gently shook her head, then turned and left.

When Luo Qingcheng appeared in the hall, the auction venue boiled over once again.

In the past, Luo Qingcheng could only be admired from afar, not profaned from up close; the way those people looked at her had always been full of Admiration.

But today, the Admiration in their eyes had already vanished, leaving only the most primitive desire.

The desire to press her down beneath their bodies.

For no other reason than that she had already slept with a man.

Although women these days cared less and less about their first time, precisely because of that, a woman’s first time seemed even more precious.

Before today, Luo Qingcheng could still be regarded as a nightlife Goddess; countless people present would have been willing to spend hundreds of millions just to win a single smile from her.

But now it was completely different.

Having had her first time, Luo Qingcheng now counted as a real whore.

Seeing those looks that treated her like some low-grade lifeform, Luo Qingcheng of course knew what was in their hearts, but she couldn’t be bothered to explain.

First, even if she did explain, they might not believe her.

Second, she simply didn’t care how those people looked at her.

Toward those hypocritical bastards, Luo Qingcheng felt a kind of contempt.

Because she felt that even if a working girl was dirty, only her body was dirty; but those people, even their souls were filthy.

So she looked down on them.

But no matter how much she despised them, she could still only become their plaything.

A plaything—wasn’t that what she’d been born to be?

At this moment, Luo Qingcheng suddenly felt a stab of regret, regret that she hadn’t given her body to Wang Dadong.

Her most precious first time was actually about to be taken by these filthy bastards; she felt a bit unwilling.

But what good was being unwilling...

If she had done that, she would only have brought disaster down on him too.

Looking at those men, faces flushed red, screaming toward her, Luo Qingcheng suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

Those men were like bloodthirsty beasts, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces.

A trace of fantasy suddenly rose in her heart.

Would he come?

Just like last night, when she had already resigned herself to degrading her own body, he had suddenly appeared.

Would he take her away from this sea of suffering?

A hint of self-mockery suddenly surfaced on Luo Qingcheng’s face.

How could he possibly come? Sitting here were the top-tier figures of the entire Jiangdu City; no one could stand up to them.

Besides, she didn’t want him to come.

Because that would be like throwing an egg at a rock...

"Farewell forever, Luo Qingcheng..." Luo Qingcheng slowly closed her eyes, murmuring under her breath.
