After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 10

In the light of day, Ye Linghua suddenly realized that the profession of a housekeeper was truly worth thinking about.

Early in the morning, the weather was nice. The blue sky, white clouds, and gentle spring breeze made for a good day for a nap. Ye Linghua was stunned by a bank card on the table. She turned to look at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin looked a little embarrassed. Seeing Ye Linghua looking at her, she explained, “You have to go out to buy things for the house. You should keep this card and use it whenever you need it.”

Ye Linghua had always thought that Lin Xin was a very pure person. After all, she liked a scumbag like Zheng Ranwen, so she must have a pure heart. Someone like Ye Linghua, who had a little bit of her own agenda, would not have been attracted to someone like Zheng Ranwen. But she didn’t expect her to be… this pure?

“You’re just giving me the card?” Ye Linghua asked back.

Lin Xin chuckled. “I trust you.”

Ye Linghua: “…I’m happy about that.” But is this a matter of trust?

While saying this, Ye Linghua was trying to figure out how to tell her that this was not how you trust people. After thinking for a while, she tried to say, “But, for this kind of thing, wouldn’t it be better to just give me some cash…?”

Lin Xin was worried. “What if it’s not enough? People don’t use cash to buy groceries anymore. It’s not convenient for you to carry cash.”

Ye Linghua pursed her lips. “…You can also transfer money.”

Lin Xin was even more surprised. “So, you would want people to owe you money?”

Ye Linghua gave up and asked her, “How did your previous housekeeper get reimbursed for household expenses?”

Lin Xin looked confused. “Auntie Wang? She always got reimbursed by my mom.”

Ye Linghua: “…Oh.”

At that moment, the card on the table represented Lin Xin’s trust and unique affection, making it feel so heavy. Ye Linghua reached for the card, flipped it over, and asked with a smile, “Is there a million yuan in here?”

Lin Xin: “…That’s too much.”

Ye Linghua chuckled, resting her chin on one hand and playing with the card with the other. “That’s what rich people do, right? They can easily throw out a few million and say, ‘Here’s your pocket money.'”

Lin Xin: “…Should I transfer a million yuan in? I can’t be worse than others! It’s just pocket money!”

Ye Linghua laughed out loud. “I’m just kidding. If you do that, I’ll take the money and run.”

Lin Xin couldn’t help but laugh back. “Is that all it takes for you to run?”

Ye Linghua just smiled. It seems like she spent a lot on Zheng Ranwen. But she thought to herself, The female protagonist is the female protagonist. When they get along like family, there’s no need to distinguish whose money is whose. Ye Linghua thought about this and put the card away.

After seeing her put the card away, Lin Xin started talking about work. “I haven’t worked much in the past few years.”

Ye Linghua nodded and didn’t ask why.

Lin Xin felt relieved and continued, “Meng Jie found a lot of work for me in the last two days. I’ll probably make a comeback with a new song.”

Ye Linghua thought for a moment. This was the same as in the novel. In the novel, Lin Xin also made a comeback with a new song, but because of her issues with Lin Wan, she was being cyberbullied, which resulted in the song being popular but not her. In other words, the song must be good. Since it was good, it was best to take it.

Lin Xin: “Meng Jie wants me to meet with the composer of the new song. He’s a new artist and should be here tomorrow.”

Ye Linghua nodded. “That’s great.”

Lin Xin didn’t expect her to have an opinion, so when she heard her agree to her comeback with a new song, she looked up at her in surprise. “Really?”

Ye Linghua smiled. “Yes, it’s great. Since we have a guest tomorrow, I’ll go to the market. The fridge has been empty these past few days, so it’s a good time to restock.”

Hearing this, Lin Xin quickly got up, grabbed a light jacket, and said, “I’ll go with you!”

Ye Linghua: “Okay, but make sure you wear a mask.”

Lin Xin: “…Okay.”

They drove to a large supermarket nearby. Ye Linghua was not familiar with the area, so Lin Xin led the way.

Lin Xin: “This supermarket has everything, and because it’s a bulk store, it’s very cheap. So, it’s very popular.”

Ye Linghua nodded and looked around. The villas where Lin Xin lived were expensive, but they were a little far from the city. They weren’t extremely far, but they weren’t in the city center either. Therefore, walking to go shopping was not an option.

The supermarket was not close to the city center either. It was on the outskirts of the city, probably because of the massive parking lot. But it was very popular; it was not easy to find a parking spot.

After circling the parking lot, Lin Xin finally found a very difficult-to-park spot in a remote area. She turned the steering wheel, looked at the rearview camera, and slowly adjusted the car. Ye Linghua’s mouth twitched. Before she could say anything, she heard the rear tire being squeezed. Lin Xin quickly lifted her head, looked at the rearview mirror, but couldn’t see anything. So, she drove out a little and started to back up again.

Ye Linghua had to remind her. “The rearview camera has one flaw: it’s hard to judge the distance.”

Lin Xin’s big, innocent eyes looked at Ye Linghua. “No, it will make a sound when it’s close to danger.”

Ye Linghua couldn’t help but laugh. She reminded her, “But the curb is too low for the radar to detect it.”

As soon as she said that, she heard the front tire being squeezed. Lin Xin froze. “This parking spot is just too small, and there’s a curb next to it.”

Ye Linghua: “I know. Don’t rush. The back wheels are already in. Just drive out a little and adjust it. The front wheels will go in too.”

Lin Xin’s driving skills weren’t great, but they weren’t bad either. She calmed down and adjusted again, and the car was finally safely parked. The parking space was too small, and it was hard to get out of the car.

They squeezed out of the car and walked toward the supermarket together. The walk was a bit long, and Lin Xin couldn’t help but talk about the possibility of going on a business trip. “If the song goes well, I might have to go on a business trip soon.”

Ye Linghua said, “I’ll go with you.” After all, she was also a personal assistant now.

Lin Xin smiled and glanced at her without contradicting her. She continued, “Meng Jie said the composer is a new artist. A lot of companies submitted songs. The boss didn’t like his song, but Meng Jie thought it was good, so she asked for his contact information. If the song is good, Meng Jie plans to find a good lyricist for it.”

Ye Linghua nodded. “That’s how it should be.” She wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry, but since Lin Xin was in it, she listened. These things didn’t interest Ye Linghua, but having no experience was another matter. She only knew that, according to the novel, the song was good, so she would fully support Lin Xin.

The parking lot was not a short walk, and there were cars everywhere. Lin Xin tended to get distracted when she talked. Ye Linghua saw cars pass by her several times, just inches away from her. Lin Xin didn’t notice, but Ye Linghua was scared a few times. Lin Xin was still talking about the entertainment industry, and Ye Linghua couldn’t help herself. She grabbed Lin Xin’s hand and pulled her to her right side.

Their clasped hands were warm. When Lin Xin’s hand was suddenly grabbed, she didn’t have time to react. She felt a gentle pull and instinctively followed the force. She walked past Ye Linghua, and her unique scent drifted over with the wind. Lin Xin blinked, finding the scent exceptionally pleasant. She only came to her senses when she was standing on Ye Linghua’s other side.

Her face flushed, and she said, a little embarrassed, “I’m sorry for being a bother by walking on the outside.”

It seems like she knows that she’s not careful when she walks.

Ye Linghua answered directly, “It’s not a bother. But if you walk on the inside, I won’t have to worry about you all the time.”

Lin Xin’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly realized that this woman’s words were always very literal. There was no deeper meaning. But even so…

Lin Xin turned to Ye Linghua and gave her a bright smile. She said sincerely, “Thank you.”

It was a happy thing to have someone who cared about her.
