Pretense

Qu Rou was mocking Mo Rao for being promiscuous.

Mo Rao didn’t become flustered at all. She only smiled at Qu Rou. “You’re dirty, so everything you see is dirty. Yu Ye and I are just interacting normally, but in your dirty eyes, we’re doing something dirty.”

“I suggest you get your eyes and brain checked.”

Qu Rou gritted her teeth and glared at Mo Rao. She wanted to continue arguing with her, but Mo Rao couldn’t be bothered with her and had already turned around to leave with Yu Ye.

Other than Yu Ye, there was another five-star chef. Mo Rao, Liu Xin, and Xiao Yan were coincidentally assigned to the same group under Yu Ye.

Liu Xin couldn’t stop smiling when she found out that she was in the same group as Xiao Yan.

“I didn’t expect us to be teammates,” As soon as the grouping was finished, Liu Xin immediately got close to Xiao Yan and said to him with a smile.

Xiao Yan had always been polite to Liu Xin, so he smiled and said, “Let’s work hard together.”

Mo Rao knew that Liu Xin was interested in Xiao Yan and didn’t want to cause trouble, so she walked to the table silently and opened the menu.

“You guys can look at the menu and decide what dishes you want to cook,” Yu Ye said to the three of them.

Mo Rao flipped through it carefully. After seeing the Wellington steak, she thought for a moment and made the same decision as before. “I’ll cook Wellington steak.”

“Okay.” Yu Ye smiled.

When Liu Xin saw that Mo Rao had chosen an extraordinary dish, she gritted her teeth and decided to compete with her. “Then I’ll make Buddha’s Temptation.”

When Xiao Yan saw that Liu Xin was about to cook Buddha’s Temptation, he was stunned. “Are you really going to cook something so difficult?”

“Why? You don’t believe me?” Liu Xin didn’t care if she was competent enough. She only wanted to compete with Mo Rao.

“I’m just worried that you won’t be able to learn it in a short period of time,” Xiao Yan said calmly.

Liu Xin snorted indignantly and glanced at Mo Rao. “If she can learn it, I can definitely learn it as well.”

Only then did Xiao Yan understand why Liu Xin chose Buddha’s Temptation. He felt somewhat helpless.

Mo Rao didn’t take Liu Xin’s words to heart. She had already walked to the fridge and taken out a piece of steak to thaw.

She had never thought of causing drama on the show.

Liu Xin and Xiao Yan also took their positions and began to prepare to learn new dishes under Yu Ye’s guidance.

But soon, Mo Rao heard Liu Xin’s complaints.

“Why is this abalone so difficult to peel… Mr. Yu, can we just let it be? I can’t peel it anymore.”

“Ah! There’s too much oil! Cooking is so troublesome…”

“Director, can you let the chef I brought help me for a while? There should be enough scenes already, right?”

…

Faced with Liu Xin’s complaints and requests, the director had no choice but to follow her lead. “Just reshoot a few more scenes.”

Compared to Liu Xin, Mo Rao seemed much more mature.

She followed the instructions in the recipe and Yu Ye’s guidance the entire time.

The Wellington steak looked complicated, but it was easier to make than she had imagined. It was just a little troublesome to make the crispy skin.

Mo Rao had failed on her first try. Looking at the failed work in front of her, Mo Rao was a little vexed.

“Don’t worry. Many people will fail the first time they do it.” Yu Ye quickly comforted her.

“Alright, I’ll try again.” Mo Rao rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do it again.

However, she didn’t want to waste the steak she had made, so she asked the director, “Director, do you have an extra meal box? I want to bring the steak back to save it from being wasted.”

Mo Rao’s actions received unanimous praise from the staff present.

In their opinion, Mo Rao was down-to-earth and took the show seriously. She was completely different from those celebrities who faked things.

When it was time to film, Mo Rao went to the dressing room to rest. Just as she sat down, Liu Xin walked in with a cold expression.

Seeing that Mo Rao was also here, Liu Xin rolled her eyes. “Tsk, how pretentious.”

Mo Rao understood where Liu Xin’s hostility towards her came from and said bluntly, “Miss Liu, if you dislike me so much because of Xiao Yan, there’s really no need.”
