My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 22

q

Upon reaching the set, Ning Ran was surprised to see that Luo Fei was there first and even had her make-up done.

Ning Ran instantly became suspicious because Luo Fei had always acted like a diva so why was she there so early?

Director Wong YanYi greeted Luo Fei with a big smile, “You’re so professional, Ms. Fei, for getting in so early.”

When he turned to Ning Ran, his smile disappeared, “See that?!” “Even a celebrity, whose work is better than yours, is working so hard and being professional!”

Ning Ran thought, Better my a**! Or are you blind to the fact that Luo Fei’s acting is terrible?

Since when does arriving early equal to being professional? If so, then won’t I be the representative of hard work and professionalism if I arrive on set at 2 in the morning?”

Ning Ran didn’t act on her frustration. Instead, she replied, “Yes, yes, you’re right, we should all learn from the celebrity. Well then, to show our professionalism, we’ll sleep here tonight instead of going home.”

“Ning Ran, whatever do you mean? Why are you acting so weird?” Luo Fei was referring to the sarcasm and insult in Ning Ran’s words.

“Ms. Fei, my name is Ding Mi. I may not be a celebrity, but it’s still rude to have forgotten my name,” Ning Ran replied with a grin.

Just you wait, Luo Fei thought, we’ll see how arrogant you’ll be after you put on the make-up and turn into a pig!

In the dressing room, the make-up artist was helping the third female lead – Zhao Mingjie – apply make-up.

Ning Ran nodded at Zhao Mingjie to greet her, but Zhao Mingjie gave her the cold shoulders.

Ning Ran wasn’t bothered so she just stood at the side watching Zhao Mingjie put on make-up.

“I don’t like it being observed when I’m applying my make-up,” Zhao Mingjie said coldly.

Ning Ran replied with a smile, “Oh yeah, I don’t like that either.”

Then, she left the dressing room.

It was finally Ning Ran’s turn after quite some time. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Ning Ran peeked around to make sure that there was no one else before she fished out a box and handed it to the make-up artist – Ms. Qiu.

“I got you this limited edition perfume when I was travelling overseas,” Ning Ran whispered.

The make-up artist was shocked to receive a generous gift like that. The price of the perfume was more than ten thousand!

“This is too much; I can’t accept it!” Ms. Qiu said, but she was also hesitant to reject such an amazing gift and give it back to Ning Ran.

Of course, Ning Ran was not so generous that she was willing to spend so much money to buy such expensive perfumes just to give it away. Ning Ran’s friend gave it to her, but she couldn’t use it so she decided to regift it to Ms. Qiu.

“It’s okay, Ms. Qiu, just keep it. That way, we can be friends. Plus, you’ll be helping on the set every day anyway,” Ning Ran said warmly.

“But…”

“It’s just a small gesture, keep it.”

“Well, umm… thank you,” said Ms. Qiu before carefully placing the perfume into her bag.

“By the way, Ms. Qiu, I need a small favor from you.”

Oh, shoot! Thought Ms. Qiu, How do I refuse to do her a favor after accepting a gift?

“The style is set by the screenwriting team. I’m only responsible for carrying out their orders. If you’d like a new style, you’d have to get permission from the screenwriters,” said Ms. Qiu.

“Oh no, it’s not about changing the style. It’s just that I have a habit of using my own make-ups, will that be okay for Ms. Qiu?” Ning Ran asked sweetly.

“Of course, it’s alright!” Ms. Qiu was relieved to hear that small request and agreed to it.

“Oh, and the bit where I brought my own make-up to set… can we keep that a secret?”

“Sure, I won’t say anything. That’s not against the rules anyway.”

“Okay, thanks, Ms. Qiu.”

Everyone was flabbergasted when Ning Ran exited the dressing room.

Even without make-up, Ning Ran was more beautiful than most women.

Now that she had quality make-up on, her beauty was even more breathtaking.

The baby blue cheongsam highlighted her curves, her thin waist, and those long, beautiful legs.

At that moment, the style of a Ming Dynasty female sailor returning home was presented.

She didn’t even need any dialogue to perfectly portray this character.
