Chapter 844 - 549: Explorer [05] What Proposal? You Scripted the Whole Thing Yourself?

That night, Nora Scott, who had recently been showing off her relationship online frequently, once again made an appearance as promised.

However, what was originally thought to be desensitized netizens was stirred up into a frenzy by a post on Weibo—

[Zero]: @Hubby. [Image]

The picture showed a hand, with slender fingers, and a diamond ring on the middle finger, while the black cord bracelet on the wrist was unmistakably familiar to the netizens—proof that it was indeed Nora Scott herself.

Netizens: ???

Fans: ???

You really don’t appreciate your own commercial value!

Last night, the show "On the Road" once again hyped up Nora Scott’s commercial value, numbers that stunned industry insiders, but today Nora slapped herself in the face, backhanding a proposal out of the blue, directly bewildering everyone from all walks of life, rivaling the level of shock among fans.

——So many celebrities’ commercial value takes a deep dive after announcing dating or marriage news, and none of them would announce unless absolutely necessary, but here you are, showing off your love every day, and the moment you propose you post a picture first thing...

???

Have you considered how much money you’re ruining by showing off your love?

[You really don’t need to update us on the dog man’s existence at all times to prove he’s real, we really don’t want to know. Really! Ugh, saved on tonight’s midnight snack.]

[May you be forever together.]

[Congratulations, congratulations.]

[??? No need! Really no need! I don’t want to see my uncle with the dog man!]

...

Netizens sent their blessings while simultaneously roasting her.

If Nora hadn’t previously had that spell of daily public displays of affection, netizens in fact should have been extending blessings instead of quips. It was truly her persistent displays of affection that enraged people, so upon seeing this explosive news, they couldn’t help but voice their complaints.

——Could you please just take a break!

While the netizens were in a ruckus, it wasn’t long before some familiar IDs appeared in the comments section of this Weibo post, and one by one they shocked the onlookers silly.

[Henry Chapman]: ???

[Camilo Nogueira]: ???

[Ernesto Scott]: ???

Netizens: ??? Holy crap, so you guys didn’t know either! Wait a second—if even Camilo Nogueira is in the dark, then who exactly is the dog man behind Nora Scott?!

...

Nora hadn’t anticipated that it’s just like posting any other blog; after posting, she went to take a bath. The result was upon her exit, countless calls came through asking about it, including from her dad, godmother, elder sister, friends, and so on, both relatives by blood and not, close or not.

For the ones she felt she needed to respond to, Nora took the calls and chatted a bit. For those she didn’t think warranted a reply, Nora simply turned a blind eye.

But even then, it still delayed her for over an hour.

——In comparison, Pedro Langley’s side was way calmer.

Besides a few who knew about their relationship asking some questions, there was basically no other commotion. After all, to those not in the know—to be proposed to and about to walk down the aisle was Nora Scott, what does it have to do with you, Pedro Langley?

*

Not until the next day.

Pedro Langley woke up from a sound sleep, casually checked his Moments, and was surprised to find that business moguls from all walks of life seemed to be collectively feasting on the "Nora Scott proposal" gossip, some analyzing her commercial value, some her career plans, and others just gossiping for the sake of it.

Chuckling, Pedro Langley gently gritted his teeth.

A few minutes later, Pedro Langley posted a new update on Moments—

[I can afford the commercial value my wife loses.]

The early bird capital bigwigs: ???

As a result, Pedro Langley’s phone, due to this single Moments update, kept ringing all morning.

[Friend A: Honestly, in my dreams, I kind of hope a beauty like Nora Scott could be my girlfriend too.]

"..."

Instantly blocked.

[Friend B: Bro, wake up, this isn’t a woman you can keep just because you have money. She’s life-threatening.]

"..."

Blocked again.

[Friend C: Bro, congrats! I have a project I’d like to discuss with your wife, wondering if there’s an opportunity...]

"..."

See you, not sending you off.

...

And so, by the end, Pedro Langley’s friend list underwent a thorough shake-up.

What remained were a bunch of—

[Congrats Mr. Langley, may you have eternal happiness!]

[Congratulations, and may you have kids soon. Have you set a date?]

[[Transfer]]

[Congrats Mr. Langley on winning over the beauty! Your girlfriend truly loves you! Don’t forget to send me an invitation when you have the wedding.]

...

By noon, when Nora Scott checked Pedro Langley’s phone and saw a bunch of flattering and congratulatory messages, she lightly furrowed her brow and clicked her tongue.

Nora Scott asked, "Why do all your contacts seem to be flatterers?"

Handing a glass of water to Nora Scott, Pedro Langley raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t your Moments?"

"Ah."

A bunch of lunatics.

People get married and receive all kinds of blessings, but she, apart from a few close friends and relatives, had a bunch of people asking—are you acting this out yourself?

It’s like in their eyes, it’s impossible for her to find a partner.

Nora Scott didn’t feel a hint of joy from successfully showing off her love or sprinkling dog food.

Turning her head, Nora Scott took a deep breath and asked, "When is ’Twelve’ expected to air?"

Since she wrapped up filming, she’d been busy and hadn’t really paid attention to "Twelve", only hearing occasionally about other crews wrapping up. But the information she knew sure couldn’t match up to Pedro Langley, who had been keeping an eye on "Twelve", hoping it would help her redeem her acting skills in "Reversing Life".

"After the New Year," Pedro Langley estimated, "probably around February or March."

Nora Scott: "What about the voting?"

"The latest result will be out by the end of April."

Thinking it over, Nora Scott slightly nodded, "Senior Sister’s due date is around that time; after taking one or two months of rest, she can have her wedding."

"Mm."

Pedro Langley curved his lips into a smile.
