My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 913 Trick

Ning Ran glanced at the dishes she had made. Aside from the seaweed soup and tomato egg dish she prepared,

everything else had ginger or chili in it.

Ginger was a common ingredient used for seasoning. It was essential in almost every meat dish to remove the

gamy taste and enhance the flavor. Thus, it was very normal to use it in the kitchen.

If Ning Ran had known that Liyi Danfeng couldn't eat ginger, she would've used something else as a substitute, but

she didn't.

Ye Meng knew because she secretly hid a phone she used to read the comments.

When they were discussing dinner, Danfeng's fans warned about how ginger, chili, and cilantro shouldn't be added

to any dishes because she didn't eat them.

Ye Meng was secretly delighted when she read those comments. After all, those were common seasoning

ingredients anyone would use unless requested beforehand.

The comments gave her an idea before she brought Liyi Danfeng outside.

She knew Ning Ran would prepare dinner instead of waiting for her return after enough time had passed based on

the latter's personality.

Additionally, she predicted Ning Ran would use the ingredients Danfeng couldn't ingest, thus further angering

Danfeng's fans.

After Ye Meng and Danfeng left, the former asked if the latter wanted to stay outside for a while instead of

immediately returning to the program after buying the drinks.

Liyi Danfeng was already sick of reading books in front of the camera. It was an energy-draining activity, but she

did it for the sake of her image.

Therefore, she immediately agreed to Ye Meng's suggestion and went to a nearby cafe. They ordered a cup of

coffee and even ate a slice of cheesecake.

They spent two hours outside before returning. Just as Ye Meng expected, Ning Ran had already prepared the

dishes.

Ning Ran apologized, “I'm sorry. I didn't know Danfeng can't eat these. How about I redo them?”

“Redo them with what? You've used all the ingredients. If you buy them again, how long will we need to wait for

dinner to be served?” questioned Ye Meng.

Smiling, Liyi Danfeng pretended to be magnanimous. “It's fine if I can't eat them. I'll just treat this as an opportunity

to lose weight.”

“No can do! This is our first meal together. You must eat something. How about I prepare you a bowl of noodles?”

Ye Meng offered.

She knew most comments originated from Danfeng's fans, and comments were often capable of stirring things up.

Thus, she wanted to please Danfeng to gain her fans' goodwill.

“It's fine, Meng. There's still soup. I'll just drink that for dinner,” replied Liyi Danfeng.

Ning Ran still felt glum about her “mistake” and suggested, “What else do you like to eat, Danfeng? I'll go and buy

them as quickly as possible. I'm sorry for not knowing you can't eat—”

Abruptly, Ye Meng interrupted, “Buy what? I suggested we cook here because I don't want us to eat takeouts, yet

now you are suggesting we buy them. Don't you feel bad letting Danfeng eat takeout while we eat what you've

prepared?”

It was then Ning Ran realized Ye Meng was trying to cause trouble.

In response, she questioned, “How far is the supermarket from your place, Meng? I'll go and take a look.”

“It's only a five-minute journey, but it'll take you a long time to buy the ingredients and prepare the dishes.”

Ning Ran interrogated jokingly, “You said it's a five-minute journey, yet both of you were gone for two hours. I

couldn't wait any longer, so I prepared the dishes first. This way, you two would have something to eat once you

return. Tell me, Meng, how did it take both of you two hours to complete a five-minute journey? Did you two fall

asleep on the road?”

Ye Meng's expression changed as she glanced at Danfeng, hinting at the latter not to make casual comments.

While Ning Ran was busying about in the kitchen, they ate at a cafe.

Because the program crew didn't follow them outside, the audience didn't know about that.

“Well, when we went to the supermarket earlier, I twisted my ankle. Danfeng took me to a nearby hospital to treat

it. It was the high-heel. I think I'll stop wearing them if I need to do stuff outdoors.” Ye Meng smiled.

Immediately, Liyi Danfeng played along. “Yeah! I took Meng to see a doctor.”

Ning Ran asked, “I see. Did you hurt your left leg or your right leg? What did the doctor say? Is it serious? Let me

check if it's swollen.”

Panicked, Ye Meng answered, “It's the left leg, and it's not serious.”

In response, Ning Ran crouched, pretending to care about Ye Meng's injury, and held the latter's right leg. “Are you

hurt here? It does seem a bit swollen.”

“Yeah, it's right there! I blame this on my high heels. Hey, don't press it! It hurts!” Ye Meng continued the act.

The netizens weren't idiots. Someone immediately realized something was off.

When Ning Ran asked Ye Meng which leg was swollen, the latter answered the left one.

Yet, even though Ning Ran was inspecting the right leg, Ye Meng seemed to be in pain.

So, either Ye Meng couldn't tell left from right or she was lying.

The comments began flooding in.

One typed: Are you acting right now, Ms. Ye? You said your left leg's injured, so why are you wincing when Ning Ran

touched your right leg?

Another remarked: Can she not tell right from left?

Someone commented: Neither of her ankles seems swollen. Why is she pretending to be hurt?

Upon lifting her head, Ning Ran peered at Ye Meng. “Is it the left leg or the right leg, Meng?”

“I told you. It's left.” Ye Meng still hadn't realized her blunder.

“But I'm pressing on your right leg. Are both your legs injured? Did Danfeng carry you back here?” Ning Ran

smirked.

It was then Ye Meng realized she had been bamboozled. How dare you trick me, Ning Ran!

Hurriedly, Ye Meng changed the topic. “I was wrong. It's the right leg, the one you're pressing right now. Let's just

ignore my leg for now and return to the issue of Danfeng's meal.”

Liyi Danfeng was sweating profusely, afraid that Ning Ran would expose her and Ye Meng.

Thus, she said, “It's fine, Meng. I'll eat whatever is available. Since I've been trying to lose weight recently, I won't

be eating much. I can't eat desserts or dishes that are too oily. So, I'll just eat fruits and drink some soup.”

A wave of praises flooded past the screen: Look how well-mannered my lovely bean is, unlike that annoying Ding

crone!

“Sure. Just sit at the dining table. I'll serve the dishes,” said Ning Ran.

Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng promptly seated themselves in the dining hall while Ning Ran served them like a waitress.

Facing her back against the camera, Ning Ran removed all the ginger from a dish before serving it.

Liyi Danfeng ended up loving that dish the most, proving that she simply disliked ginger, not that she couldn't ingest

any.

After the meal, Ning Ran cleaned up the dishes.

Meanwhile, Ye Meng and Liyi Danfeng were chatting on the couch and picking their teeth.

They had no idea the internet had turned its ire toward them.

The topic Has She Read Books Before? soared to the top ten trending topics on Weibo.

The post's content was straightforward. It was a video of Ning Ran and Danfeng during the livestream.

A few words were spotted below the post: Has the book lover truly read anything? She doesn't even know this line

from the famous book.
