My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 369

All the other celebrities were surprised at how daring Ning Ran was to verbally spar with Shen Yue.

Doesn’t she know that Shen Yue’s online fans have an equally vulgar tongue as she does? Or else, they wouldn’t fancy a belligerent character like Shen Yue.

“I was just joking. So why are you taking it seriously?” Shen Yue’s expression darkened.

“I’m not taking it seriously. I’m just serious in discussing how Mickey Mouse can raise a pig with you,” Ning Ran replied with a smile.

When the host realized that they were attacking each other, he quickly defused the situation.

Although an argument between the stars would create a lot of publicity and increase the show’s ratings, the host still had to ensure they didn’t go out of control.

When that happened, the show might end up being a program where the stars were just quarreling.

“I’m sure both of you were just joking, so there’s no need to take it to heart. In the meantime, I’m still announcing the results,” the host replied with a smile.

Only then did Shen Yue shut up, but the look she was giving Ning Ran was no longer a friendly one.

“In that case, I will now announce the results of the first round. Based on our rules, the winner of the first round will bypass the second round and no longer need to compete. In other words, regardless of what Ms. Ding’s results are later, she will automatically be named as the winner of the first round,” the host explained.

All the celebrities were shocked to find out that those were the rules.

Damn, they didn’t announce it before this. Or else everyone would have tried their best to win. Given Ning Ran’s mediocre technique, it would be a surprise if she could still come in first. In fact, she might not even make it into the top three.

Those who had better techniques but held back earlier were the ones who were the most remorseful. What the hell is this? How can they have such a sneaky rule?

Despite the dissatisfaction they felt, they were aware that it was inappropriate to express it. After all, they were embarrassed to admit that they were taking advantage of the loophole by slowing down on purpose.

Hence, they had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Even Wang Xiaoou didn’t expect the sudden turn of events. Is this some sort of beginner’s luck?

During their break, Wang Xiaoou wanted to hand Ning Ran some water. However, she was stopped by the crew.

As there was a drinks sponsor for the show, no other brands of drinks were allowed on-site.

The crew was worried that the camera might capture the drink by mistake, and it would end up being a huge dispute. Therefore, drinks from all other brands were barred from the filming site.

As a result, Ning Ran had no choice but to consume the drinks provided by the sponsors, which tasted strange to her.

After going through the professional guidance, the second round of the competition began.

As Ning Ran had gotten first place in the previous round, she had already qualified for the next round.

Therefore, the result this time would not affect her in any way.

Nevertheless, she was still fully focused on her preparations. The last thing she wanted was to end up in the last place right after coming in first. Doing so would be utterly embarrassing.

At the host’s signal, Ning Ran jumped into the water and started swimming.

Right after covering a few meters, she suddenly felt her limbs giving way.

No matter how hard she paddled, she was unable to exert any power and could only inch forward arduously.

The next moment, she felt her body sinking gradually, just like a piece of lead.

Despite her best efforts, her body just refused to surface.

Right when her head dipped below the surface of the pool, she opened her mouth and took a big gulp of water.

With that, everything went black, and she no longer knew what happened.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Ran was woken up by a noisy commotion.

Gradually opening her eyes, she could make out the hazy silhouette of Wang Xiaoou, who was conducting CPR on her.

“Bwah!” She suddenly threw up a mouthful of water.

It was a terrible feeling, with nausea and exhaustion overwhelming her.

When Wang Xiaoou saw that Ning Ran was awake, she heaved a sigh of relief.

F***! If something had happened to Ning Ran, Nan Chen would definitely kill me. In fact, he might even do it with his bare hands!

…

In the meantime, at Nanshi Corporation.

Nan Chen dragged his exhausted self out of the meeting room and returned to his office.

During the meeting, they discussed a huge project which took up a huge amount of time. It was to the extent that Nan Chen felt a little bit dizzy.
