Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 117 - 118: Scientific Weight Loss

[Right? So many people are obsessed with losing weight these days.]

[Yeah, this girl isn’t even fat. Why is she dieting? She’s just torturing herself!]

[Beauty standards are so skewed toward the young these days. Everyone just wants that pale, youthful, skinny look. I think being a little plump and rosy is cute too.]

The girl wasn’t looking at the live comments. Hearing what Su Nian said, she lowered her head in frustration. The idea of having good fortune was getting in the way of her weight loss journey. "But I really don’t want to be this heavy anymore!"

Seeing that the girl was still stuck in this mindset, seemingly impossible to correct, a trace of helplessness flickered in Su Nian’s eyes. "You have a normal body type. You don’t need to lose weight."

"Besides, if you insist on dieting, losing your fortunate appearance is one thing, but you’ll also bring harm to your entire family!"

The girl had never imagined she would end up harming her own family. She gasped, unable to stop herself from guessing, "Is it because I’ll go crazy from dieting and eat all the food in the house?"

It was a bit extreme and exaggerated, but in her mind, it was the most likely scenario.

She couldn’t even guarantee she wouldn’t do something like that in her sleep.

Seeing how her mind worked in such peculiar ways, Su Nian decided not to keep her in suspense and got straight to the point. "Did you, or did you not, buy a case of alcoholic beverages online?"

The girl froze for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "Yes, I did! I saw a special alcoholic drink online that’s supposed to have many benefits. It tastes good, and most importantly, it’s guaranteed not to make you gain weight!"

This drink was currently very popular on the market. Many streamers and influencers recommended it, and even many of the viewers watching the livestream had bought it before.

[I drink that stuff too! There’s definitely some marketing hype, but it really does taste good!]

[Yeah, yeah! It’s got some alcohol in it, but it’s sweet. I don’t know about the weight gain part, though.] 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

[I’ve tried it myself. You definitely don’t gain weight. The only downsides are the price isn’t great and the alcohol content is a bit high, otherwise I’d drink it like water.]

"So many people drink it, so it should be fine, right?"

At this, she added with great confusion, "Don’t tell me I’ll have some side effect from this drink, develop a mental illness, and murder my whole family?!"

Listening to her wild theories, Su Nian thought to herself with skepticism, ’They say you lose brain cells for three years after giving birth, but her kid is almost old enough to graduate from kindergarten!’

Su Nian said, "You saw the live comments. The drink itself isn’t the problem, but did you notice one thing they mentioned? The alcohol content is a bit high!"

"How do you handle your alcohol?"

The girl thought about how her face flushed whenever she drank, and how she would get itchy all over if she had a little too much.

She quickly shook her head.

Su Nian continued, "In the future I see, you find this drink so delicious that you don’t pay attention to the alcohol content. After drinking it before bed, you sleepwalk to the kitchen to find food in a daze. But in your stupor, you accidentally turn on the gas valve."

"Then, your entire family, including the dog, dies from gas poisoning."

Hearing this, the girl’s face turned pale and she bit her lip so hard it left a mark, utterly terrified by the close call.

She didn’t doubt Su Nian’s words, because she had indeed bought the drink with the intention of having it before bed.

She had a habit of drinking something before bed. She preferred flavored beverages, but most of them would make her gain weight.

That’s why she chose this one. Plus, she had a habit of sleepwalking to find food, couldn’t hold her liquor, and in a daze... yes, that was definitely something she could do.

She immediately stood up to go check the current state of her gas valve.

After seeing that everything was fine, she let out a sigh of relief and bowed to Su Nian. "Thank you, Master. I understand now. I’m going to return that case of drinks right away!"

Su Nian hummed in acknowledgment. "And stop dieting. You don’t want to chase away your good fortune."

Hearing Su Nian say this, and thinking again about how her dieting could have killed her entire family, the girl nodded her head like a bobblehead.

"I get it! I won’t do it again!"

Then, with a distressed look, she explained to Su Nian, "Honestly, I just wanted to be a little prettier and look better in clothes. That way, my husband would find me more attractive. And besides, it’s a form of self-improvement."

Su Nian frowned. "So you resort to extreme dieting? You’re already making yourself sick. And why do you care so much about what other people think?"

’Caring about what other people think?’

The girl suddenly felt that Su Nian’s phrasing made her sound a bit pathetic, which made her a little uncomfortable...

But she couldn’t refute it, because she really did care about what others thought.

"I just... I just feel like I could be better!"

Su Nian recalled a news story she had once seen. "There was a girl in the news who thought just like you. She went on a crazy diet and succeeded, but then she developed anorexia. She’d feel like throwing up after eating almost anything. She didn’t live for more than a few years after that."

"Furthermore, based on my reading, your husband loves you very much. Very, very much. He’s not going to like you more just because you get skinnier and prettier, and he won’t despise you if you get heavier and less attractive!"

"Someone who loves you will love you no matter what. Someone who doesn’t will still dislike you no matter how beautiful you become! As for what you said about self-improvement, isn’t there a vacant supervisor position in your department? You should be working toward a promotion and a raise, not agonizing over whether you should lose a few pounds or eat a cucumber versus a tomato for dinner!"

Su Nian generally disliked meddling in other people’s lives. Saying this much was risky, as it could easily end up being a thankless effort.

But this girl had a natural comedic air about her, so Su Nian went ahead and said it.

The girl stood there, stunned. "You’re right. And you’re so accurate! You even knew about our supervisor resigning!"

’Come to think of it, my husband always complains about my dieting. He feels pained when I get too thin, and he also feels pained when I’m miserable about being heavier.’

As for whether I got skinnier and prettier, the look in his eyes really never changed from start to finish.

It was mainly about her mood. If she was in a good mood, her husband was in a good mood. Thinking of this, she started to feel a little sorry for her husband.

[The lady might be a bit of a goofball, but I’m seriously jealous of her husband!]

[But what the streamer is saying doesn’t apply to everyone!]

[Yeah, my boyfriend likes pretty girls. If I got a little skinnier, he would definitely love me more!]

[Isn’t the person above just completely love-struck? I can’t believe it. The streamer said all that and they still don’t get it.]

[I propose we classify being love-struck as a major illness. It’s brain-dead!]

Su Nian glanced at the hopelessly love-struck commenter spamming the chat and ignored them.

Instead, she began to admonish the viewers.

"I know a lot of you watching my stream are young women, and you’re at an age where you’re pursuing beauty. I understand the desire to lose weight; I have a habit of working out myself. But my advice is this: don’t go to extremes with crash dieting, and don’t lose weight for someone else."

"And for those of you who are overweight, don’t just think you can get thin by not eating. That won’t work. A scientific approach to weight loss is the best way!"
