Chapter 913


    Chapter 913 Trick


    Ning Ran nced 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 amon ingredient used for seasoning. It was essential in almost every meat dish to


    remove the gamy taste and enhance the vor. 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 thements.


    When they were discussing dinner, Danfeng''s fans warned about how ginger, chili, andtro


    shouldn''t be added to any dishes because she didn''t eat them.


    Ye Meng was secretly delighted when she read thosements. After all, those weremon


    seasoning ingredients anyone would use unless requested beforehand.


    Thements 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 thetter''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 thetter 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 mostments originated from Danfeng''s fans, andments 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 ce, 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 toplete a


    five-minute journey? Did you two fall asleep on the road?”


    Ye Meng''s expression changed as she nced at Danfeng, hinting at thetter 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 yed 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 thetter''s right


    leg. “Are you hurt here? It does seem a bit swollen.”


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


    the act.


    Theizens weren''t idiots. Someone immediately realized something was off.


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


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    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.


    Thements 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?


    Someonemented: 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 avable. 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 inte 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.
