After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Seven years later, Mengyang Apartment in C-City.
The investor of the web drama Prayer Light felt a sudden wave of apprehension when she saw the person in home wear who opened the door.
“Hello, President Ruan, I’m Wen Bailing, the investor for the web drama Prayer Light!” She suppressed her excitement and handed over her business card. “I’m here to discuss contract matters with Mrs. Yuyu!”
Wen Bailing never expected that a visit to the original author would lead to meeting President Ruan Yu, who was on holiday at home! For her, an old fan who loved both the original work and the author’s real-life CP, this was a huge, unexpected joy!
“Mmh, come in. No need to change your shoes.” The white-clad woman with her hair tied up nodded slightly, politely stepping aside.
Though she said that, Wen Bailing immediately put on her own shoe covers before quickly walking into the living room. She instantly spotted the blue-clad woman sitting on the soft sofa, still typing away on her computer.
Catching sight of her out of the corner of her eye, the blue-clad woman typed the final punctuation mark and looked up, smiling: “The sugar daddy is here? Welcome, welcome~”
“N-No, I wouldn’t dare!” Wen Bailing quickly waved her hands, subconsciously glancing at Ruan Yu, who had taken a seat on the sofa.
If anyone was the “sugar daddy,” it was President Ruan.
The conversation proceeded very smoothly. Before leaving, Wen Bailing took home a signed copy of Prayer Light, as well as a bag of cranberry cookies personally baked by Ruan Yu.
While waiting for her car at the apartment entrance, Wen Bailing quickly tapped her phone screen, excitedly sharing her experience with other friends in the fan group:
“Mrs. Yuyu has the best temper!! She’s gentle and caring! She listens to people so patiently! President Ruan is also super easygoing, not at all like the aloof CEO she is on TV! I was only slightly intimidated by her guarded look when we first met. Wuwu, she was like a kind older sister next door the whole time!!”

“I declare myself obsessed 55555 They are too happy!! I’m so happy too QvQ”
“I could have handled the negotiation myself, you know.”
After seeing Wen Bailing off, Wen Yun said to Ruan Yu while eating a small cookie. “I’ve handled many contracts before. Most people can’t cheat me.”
“I rarely get time off,” Ruan Yu simply said.
“And you take advantage of your vacation to show off your love to outsiders, right?” Wen Yun retorted with a smile.
“Yes,” Ruan Yu sat next to her and casually stuffed a small cookie into her mouth. “Just in case someone is too nice to a guest and attracts unwanted attention.”
“You…” Wen Yun also fed her a cookie, her voice helpless but her smile bright.
Seven years had flashed by. The simple and insecure little kitten from back then was now the core figure of Ruixia Group. Together with her aunt, she had purchased a villa in a prime location in C City, moved her grandparents from the countryside to live with them, and used the best medical facilities to treat her grandfather’s leg ailment.
Wen Yun knew the limitations of her major and decisively chose to pursue a master’s degree after graduation, while also continuing the online novel creation she had begun during university.
After helping Ruan Yu pass the BE point, she occasionally thought about how she felt reading various web novels in her past life. She believed that stressed and busy students and corporate workers needed various forms of media to soothe their minds, whether for simple relaxation or to enjoy the feeling of achievement as a protagonist pursued a dream on their behalf.
Web novel authors played the crucial role of creating these works.
Wen Yun only had reading experience, but her writing foundation and learning ability were strong. She was also willing to study the market and reader demand, slowly figuring out what to write to capture public interest, ensuring most readers who saw her work found happiness and satisfaction, and were “healed” by the story. She then continued to try and innovate with book after book.
Diligence paid off. In the second half of her junior year, the web novel she had painstakingly refined, Prayer Light, exploded, making it onto the website’s top-tier list and subsequently selling various copyrights.
The contract she discussed today was one of the copyrights she had sold.
“Since you rarely take a vacation, and I don’t have classes these two days, should we go back and see Qiqi and Shensheng?” Wen Yun asked after finishing the plate of cookies. “I’m currently in the draft-storing phase for a new book, so I don’t have update pressure.”
Speaking of which, Lin Qiqi did transfer to the Animal Science major in her sophomore year and obtained her veterinary license in the first semester of her senior year. After graduation, she worked as a vet at the pet hospital opened by He Sheng. Both were usually too busy to spare any time.
The main business of the He family was in S City, next to Z-City. He Sheng’s pet hospital there was only an hour’s flight from C-City. After Ruan Yu agreed, they immediately set off and met their two old friends at the airport that evening.
“I’m amazed! President Ruan actually has time to see us!” Lin Qiqi, wearing sunglasses and sitting in the driver’s seat of a red sports car, deliberately teased Ruan Yu as soon as they got into the car, expertly turning the key.
“How do you two both have time today?” Ruan Yu asked back with a smile, looking at He Sheng, who was still replying to messages in the passenger seat.
“Actually, we weren’t free, but Shensheng adjusted her shifts!” Lin Qiqi said triumphantly. “I thought it had been too long since we last met, so it’d be best if both of us came to pick you up so you could see how much we’ve changed!”
“Forgive me for being blunt, but I don’t see any change,” Wen Yun quietly debunked her. “You’re the same as always, and Shensheng is too.”
“That’s probably because you’ve known me for too long!” Lin Qiqi countered. “I don’t see any change in you either, but I see a big change in Xiaoyu, especially after marriage. Her former good-student look is completely gone!”
This made Ruan Yu shift her gaze: “Was I really a good student before?”
“Yes, obedient and gentle. The longer you spent time with her, the more you wanted to protect her,” Lin Qiqi nodded while driving. “But I prefer your current assertive look. A CEO should have some authority, after all!”
“Stop giving such random evaluations!” Wen Yun couldn’t help but complain.
“Someone is jealous, jealous!” Lin Qiqi laughed out loud. “Don’t worry, Shensheng and I are getting married at the end of this year. I definitely won’t steal Xiao Yu from you, ha ha ha ha!”
Lin Qiqi marrying He Sheng was a development Wen Yun never could have foreseen.
She recalled how Lin Qiqi’s previous arranged fiancé borrowed money and accrued debt, but never told his family. Seeing that Lin Qiqi was sincere and easily fooled, he sweet-talked and manipulated her.
If He Sheng hadn’t discovered it in time and collaborated with her and Ruan Yu to expose the “soft-rice scumbag” fiancé’s true colors to the Lin family, leading to the cancellation of the engagement, Lin Qiqi might be heavily in debt now.
She was even more surprised that after the matter was resolved, He Sheng, the administrator of the small world, would actively propose a marriage alliance to the Lin family.
For most wealthy families in this book world, same-sex marriage was possible but meant no direct descendants. After all, reality wasn’t as fast as novel technology. Same-sex pregnancy technology hadn’t been developed in this world, nor had black technologies like full in-vitro gestation.
The Lin family always prioritized bloodline inheritance and unhesitatingly refused the proposal.
But the double force of love and family interest made Lin Qiqi desperately want this marriage. Thus, after confirming their relationship with He Sheng, they began a tug-of-war with their family.
This fight lasted for five years. During this time, Lin Qiqi even directly followed Wen Yun’s example, moving to S City to build a life with He Sheng, cutting off financial support and contact with her family.
Lin Qiqi was the only precious heir of her generation. For the first few months, the family didn’t think much of it, assuming the child was throwing a tantrum and running away. But as time went on, the Lin family couldn’t sit still. They sent gifts, traveled to S-City, and longed for Lin Qiqi to return home.
Their five-year long-distance run had finally worn down the Lin family, little by little.
Because everyone was busy, they couldn’t indulge in leisurely sight-seeing. They ultimately chose the most traditional form of reunion: a meal and casual conversation, all gathering to eat hot pot at the most famous century-old restaurant in S City.
“How does it feel to have your wishes fulfilled?”
During the meal, while Lin Qiqi took Ruan Yu to mix up a “secret sauce,” He Sheng suddenly asked Wen Yun.
“That’s what I should be asking you,” Wen Yun said. “Can administrators fall in love?”
“No one prohibits it,” He Sheng looked toward Lin Qiqi’s seat. “As long as one can endure the loneliness after loss, it’s fine.”
Wen Yun paused. “I’ve wanted to warn you about this for a long time—or rather, a warning. Compared to us ordinary people, your lifespan as an administrator must be very long, right? And you can retain past memories? I don’t care if you’ve had other romantic experiences before this, but you know what a foolishly honest person Lin Qiqi is. You are not allowed to let her down! Otherwise…”
“Knowing that you can’t possibly threaten me, why would you say such a thing?” He Sheng put two slices of white meat into the pot, asking with a smile. “Is it because you truly consider Qiqi a good friend, or is it because you’re thinking of a certain person’s so-called ‘advice’ from before, and you’re worried about Qiqi?”
Without waiting for Wen Yun’s answer, she promised solemnly: “I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but I guarantee you, I will never let her down.”
Wen Yun frowned, reaching out her chopsticks to retrieve Ruan Yu’s favorite dish from the sour soup.
“I’ll take your word for it,” she said. “After all, you’ve kept every promise you’ve made to me.”
He Sheng shrugged nonchalantly and deliberately asked, “Are you getting used to your new life after losing the System?”
According to her, the Systems assigned to Hosts by the Administration Bureau had a binding period. It wasn’t automatically unbound after the BE point was passed; this was both to monitor the Host and to collect data from the small world.
Wen Yun’s “Green Tea System” had just been unbound two months ago. It was thanks to He Sheng’s assistance that the unbinding went so smoothly.
“It would be weird if I was used to having the System. That thing was a straightjacket!” Wen Yun clicked her tongue, hearing Lin Qiqi’s cheerful laughter approaching from outside the door. She added, “I hear them coming back. Let’s drop this topic.”
When the gathering dispersed, everyone felt a sense of reluctance.
“Who knows when we’ll meet again next time!”
On the way to the airport, Lin Qiqi lamented, “I’ll still send you our wedding invitations, though. I hope you can try your best to come!”
“I can travel when I don’t have classes,” Wen Yun said, then teased in a similar tone, “But it’s hard to say for ‘President Ruan’!”
She never expected that her casual joke would stick in Ruan Yu’s mind.
As a result, as soon as they were back at their C City home, the moment Wen Yun changed into her home wear, she was pinned down by Ruan Yu.
A warm breath brushed against her ear, accompanied by an authoritative instruction: “You’re the only one who isn’t allowed to call me that.”
“I get it, I get it! Never again!” Wen Yun hastily pleaded, but it was too late.
After all the vigorous activity, Wen Yun truly felt she should take time to exercise more.
Whether she was studying or writing, her physical displacement was minimal, unlike Ruan Yu, who was constantly flying around to different cities. Physically, she couldn’t keep up.
Otherwise, if things continued this way, Ruan Yu’s “Princess of the Pillow” desire would have to be delayed again. She couldn’t keep making the already hardworking Ruan Yu put in all the effort… although Ruan Yu didn’t seem to mind who was passive and who was active.
As their years together lengthened, Wen Yun increasingly realized that her wife’s assertiveness was both superficial and directed at outsiders. With Wen Yun, the Ruan Yu who was a fierce tiger turned into a cat, retracting her sharp claws and teeth, clinging to her at every opportunity to act spoiled and demanding cuddles, just like their tuxedo cat at home.
The tuxedo cat at home was getting old, too. Fortunately, it remained healthy, though it had grown very sleepy.
When they were each busy with their work at home, the cat would quietly nap on their desk or the windowsill. If either of them reached out to stroke its fur or scratch its chin, it would drowsily nudge them back.
Time flowed gently, and life was tranquil.
There was still such a long, beautiful future awaiting them.
