After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 114

In the live stream, everyone was stunned when they saw Ye Linghua pull out a packet of tissues.

After all, who would struggle to walk through a torrential downpour just to give their lover a packet of tissues?

But on the screen, Lin Xin, looking dazed, held the packet. Then, sensing something, she paused, looked down, opened the packet, and peered inside, before completely freezing.

In that moment, everyone saw Lin Xin’s eyes redden.

Everyone, including the audience in front of the screen, heard Ye Linghua open her mouth and ask: “Then, Princess, do I have the honor of spending the rest of my life with you?”

“Approved.”

[Ahhhhhhhhhhh, congratulations!!!]

[Oh my god! What did I just witness?]

[Starlight CP fans! You won! You finally shipped a real couple!]

[Ye Linghua proposed! My God, she actually proposed at this moment.]

[Wuwuwu, when the mermaid tail necklace was revealed, I thought a proposal should have happened. I didn’t expect it to drag on until now. It wasn’t easy!]

[Exactly! Xin Bao proposed first, and Ye Linghua had no reaction even after knowing the meaning of the necklace. I was worried Xin Bao would be disappointed again.]

[But, but, but… What about the grand proposal ceremony?]

[Right! I imagined a yacht, a helicopter, a European castle, a beautiful sea of flowers, a boundless prairie… Even her clubhouse would have been fine! But in this heavy rain o(╥﹏╥)o]

[Hahahaha, Ye Linghua never said she was rich; she prioritizes being casual. Hahahahahaha]

[Everyone, quickly go check Weibo.]

The fans suddenly remembered the lucky draw.

The Zero Star Super Topic and the Starlight CP Super Topic set by Ye Linghua were for her and Lin Xin’s couple fandoms, and the Star Super Topic was Lin Xin’s individual fandom.

As long as they were fans of Lin Xin or their CP, they could participate in the draw. The Level 8 fan restriction was merely to prevent people from impersonating their fans to enter.

Since CEO Ye was extremely generous, setting the number of winners at 30,000 people, the number of people participating in the draw was unprecedentedly high.

Because Ye Linghua proposed, and did so very casually, everyone was busy both celebrating and complaining online, and they momentarily forgot about the lucky draw.

The hot search about Ye Linghua’s proposal was dominating the list. Everyone stopped focusing on the hot search and quickly jumped to the Ye Linghua’s personal Weibo account.

Sure enough, a scheduled lucky draw post had been automatically published.

[If the proposal is successful, fans will be drawn for 30,000 prizes to share the joy.]

It was as casual as Ye Linghua, so concise that it didn’t convey any hint of joy.

[Hahahaha, she scheduled such an important Weibo post? Seriously, did she never consider the possibility of failure!]

[We should say that our CEO Ye went in with the determination to succeed, and our Xin Bao was kind enough to accept!]

[Even if she failed and was ridiculed, CEO Ye is still generous! By the way, was failure even a possibility?]

[Hahahaha, you guys just want to talk about Xin Bao, why are you being so indirect?]

[Hahahahaha, Xin Bao couldn’t wait to be proposed to. (Lin Xin Shocked)]

[Ah, I’m so sad. How can you all say that about Xin Bao? (:з」∠)]

[Wait, I thought this draw was just said casually on the show. Was it a gift for the successful proposal?]

[That still doesn’t change how generous my CEO Ye is.]

[No, no, no! There are CEO Ye’s friends too! CEO Ye has several friends!]

[Thank you, CEO Ye, thank you, CEO Ye’s friends. Please accept my bow.]

[I will light incense for you at home.]

The Close Friends: “…” That is completely unnecessary.

In the comment section, everyone participated in the lucky draw according to Ye Linghua’s requirements.

Fans were eagerly waiting for the results, shouting in the comment section: Baggage is packed! Hurry up and draw!

Even ordinary passersby couldn’t help but shout in the comments: CEO Ye, give us a chance! We can be fans too!!!

—Are you looking down on new fans? New fans are people too!

Of course, Ye Linghua definitely couldn’t see this.

She had indeed prepared a grand proposal setting. Although there was no endless sea of flowers, no classical European castle, no ocean, and no cruise ship.

But the helicopter, the boundless meadow, the sky full of fireworks, the balloon-lined red carpet…

All the necessary ceremony was in place, but the weather failed, and the rain poured down in sheets.

The proposal couldn’t proceed, and she was trapped in a shop, making travel difficult due to the heavy rain.

But seeing that time was almost 12 o’clock, Ye Linghua looked at her deliberately changed outfit, the red umbrella in her hand, and the custom-made ring.

Everything else was just external. She had the essential elements. Lin Xin’s fans and friends, who had been with her for years, were watching on screen. Why be constrained by the rigid ceremony?

In the end, Ye Linghua opened her umbrella and ventured alone to Lin Xin’s location.

Using the simplest method of proposal, she achieved the best outcome. At a time like this, no one was checking the fan messages.

The rain in Southern City had now stopped.

Lin Xin sat in the back seat of the car, touching the ring on her ring finger, a smile playing on her lips.

After the proposal, the audience in the shop applauded and gathered around. She and Ye Linghua almost couldn’t get out.

Fortunately, the rain hadn’t stopped at that moment. Ye Linghua embraced her and fled under that red umbrella.

The cameraman was left behind, but the live stream had already ended. The filming of the show was complete, so there was no need to worry about the cameras anymore.

It wasn’t until they were sitting in the car, isolated from all the noise of the world, that Ye Linghua took out the ring and slipped it onto Lin Xin’s middle finger.

From now on, they were the people who, in the eyes of others, were destined to be partners.

Lin Xin raised her hand and looked at it under the light, then noticed that the embellishment on the ring was actually a mermaid tail.

It was the mermaid tail she had given to Ye Linghua. Even though it was scaled down, it was instantly recognizable.

The mermaid tail represents unrequited love and represents the love of this life.

A feeling of pleasant surprise spread through her. Lin Xin smiled and looked at Ye Linghua: “Mermaid tail?”

Ye Linghua smiled and said, “This was the surprise you gave me, but how could it not also be my heart’s desire for you? I think I can never escape the two words ‘mermaid tail’ in this lifetime, so you have to stay with me.”

Lin Xin gripped the ring and shyly said, “I haven’t prepared a ring for you yet.”

Ye Linghua’s proposal was too sudden, right in front of the street-side pan-fried bun shop, on a night of heavy rain.

There were no romantic roses, and no relatives or friends participated.

But she changed into that outfit, which was a replica of their first meeting, had the same hairstyle, and appeared holding the same red umbrella. Just like that, Lin Xin felt completely overwhelmed with sincerity.

She had bent down and handed over the ring wrapped in the tissue packet.

In the light, her gentle smile, calling her Princess!

How could she have imagined? So casually, their whole life together was decided. It was so casual that Lin Xin couldn’t react in time.

She should have prepared a ring for Ye Linghua too, just as Ye Linghua had carefully prepared this ring.

“Why must it be a ring? Isn’t this what you gave me when you proposed?”

Saying this, Ye Linghua took out the mermaid tail necklace from her chest. It shimmered in the light. The pendant swung back and forth—it truly was that heart-fluttering mermaid tail.

Lin Xin paused: “But that…” A birthday gift…

“It was given because of the proposal, wasn’t it?” Ye Linghua’s peach-blossom eyes were alluring.

Lin Xin’s words at the tip of her tongue changed to: “Yes.”

Ye Linghua’s eyes curved in a smile, and she said, “Thank you.”

Lin Xin’s face flushed, and her heart suddenly raced.

Because the driver was present, Ye Linghua didn’t make any sudden moves.

Lin Xin just watched as Ye Linghua took out her phone after speaking and tapped away.

She leaned over to see that Ye Linghua was tinkering with her Weibo.

Ye Linghua’s Weibo rarely posted more than once a year, but today it had posted twice.

Lin Xin first saw her lucky draw post, which was concisely worded. But with tens of millions of likes, shares, and comments, even the top celebrities in the entertainment industry couldn’t surpass it.

Then, Ye Linghua posted another section.

[Life is fleeting, and unforgettable moments are few. I remember the spring rain in April, carrying a slight coolness. Lin Xin and I met then. Since then, she has brought me growth and led me to explore a world I didn’t know. Meeting and falling in love feels like an indispensable part of life. Today, I tried to make that circle even more perfect. Thank you to fate, thank you for being by each other’s side, and thank you for her love for me. From now on, we walk hand in hand. @LinXin]

Lin Xin pouted: “I’m right next to you; why post this?”

Ye Linghua smiled and said, “Your job requires this. Once you’re engaged, you have to announce it widely.”

Lin Xin paused, suddenly realizing that she and Ye Linghua were like two extremes. She needed to be in the public eye; even her dating and marriage had to be scrutinized by everyone. While Ye Linghua was wealthy, she disliked being in the spotlight.

Yet, for her sake, she accepted the MV, accepted the assistant work that involved being photographed, accepted the variety show invitation. And now, even her proposal was announced on Weibo.

Lin Xin’s heart was filled with happiness and sweetness, but she also felt a little reluctant for Ye Linghua. She gently leaned her head on Ye Linghua’s shoulder and, after a long time, said one word: “Thank you.”

Thank you for making such a huge effort to integrate into my life.

Even though Ye Linghua’s status meant she didn’t have to care about the entertainment industry.

But she respected her work, even cooperating with it.

Ye Linghua glanced at her, instantly knowing what she was thinking. She sighed and said, “Thank me for what? Do family members need to speak in formalities?”

Lin Xin chuckled and asked, “Actually, a lucky draw for 1,000 people would have been enough.”

Ye Linghua smiled and reached out to pat her head: “That money can be quickly earned back by me and those guys. And…” Ye Linghua paused, cleared her throat, and said, “The government also gave me instructions to take advantage of this traffic to help Beicheng develop.”

Beicheng had everything, including many historical sites, but it lacked fame, despite being home to many wealthy second-generation elites.

Since travel is currently booming, driving a wave of traffic to make it famous was perfectly timed.

Lin Xin: “…”

“They should be reimbursing me for some of it, right?” Ye Linghua looked up, thinking.

Looking at her seemingly serious expression, Lin Xin asked, “…Do the fans know about this?”

Ye Linghua: “Haha, we’re not family, why would we tell them all this?”

Ultimately, Lin Xin was amused by Ye Linghua’s half-truth, half-joke remarks.

Fans: “…Let me tell you, thank you.”

The car did not take them back to the clubhouse but directly to Ye Linghua’s home in Beicheng. Lin Xin sent a message to Yan Li, telling them to enjoy themselves there. Since the filming was over, Yan Li readily approved and expressed his gratitude.

Returning to Ye Linghua’s familiar home, Lin Xin’s mood slowly calmed down.

She walked to the balcony of the sky garden and looked out at the view of Beicheng, feeling refreshed. Although she had seen it in the winter, the summer view was different.

Moreover, back then, she had come to reconcile. Now, she was a part of this place, making her feelings different again.

It was already past midnight. She wondered where the clubhouse was located and if the others had arrived yet. Lin Xin took a couple more glances and suddenly saw a firework shoot up from the city center in the distance.

Boom! It was like a huge flower blooming with joy, yet it quickly faded away.

Fireworks!

Lin Xin was delighted: “Ye Linghua!”

She called Ye Linghua’s name, wanting to share the beautiful sight with her. But as she turned around, she suddenly remembered that only she and Ye Linghua were in the apartment now.

They had just gotten engaged. A lonely woman and a lonely woman sharing a room… it seemed…

Why did Ye Linghua bring her back?

In that instant, Lin Xin suddenly grew nervous.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Linghua, hearing the sound, came out. She embraced Lin Xin from behind, her shadow covering her. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, back to stomach, and the ambiguous throb caused Lin Xin’s throat to catch.

The air was thick with sweetness. Lin Xin felt her heart race even more, making breathing difficult.

Ye Linghua seemed unaware, lowering her head to nuzzle Lin Xin’s nape. The warm exhale of breath caused the hairs on Lin Xin’s skin to stand on end.

In her already flustered state, she heard Ye Linghua’s husky voice asking in her ear: “Xin Xin, shouldn’t we go to sleep?”

Lin Xin’s heart seized. She opened her mouth and suddenly blurted out, “So, you’ve learned?”

The hand around her waist paused. Ye Linghua was silent for only a moment, then chuckled and said, “Why don’t you try it and see?”

Lin Xin: “…What am I even saying? o(╥﹏╥)o”

In the dim room, only the weak light from the bedside lamp faintly illuminated the two people on the bed.

Scattered clothes lay on the floor, trailing all the way to the bed.

“Xin Xin… Xin Xin…”

Amidst the passion, everything felt so unreal…

(Just four sentences. It cannot be edited any further, dear Reviewer (:з」∠))

A night of passion proved Ye Linghua’s preparation to Lin Xin.

When Lin Xin opened her eyes again, the sky was bright.

Summer mornings start early, and the air was already beginning to feel stuffy. Ye Linghua had kept the air conditioner running high, so Lin Xin felt a slight chill when she got out of bed.

She noticed a set of clothes placed by the bed; they must have been prepared by Ye Linghua.

The clothes they had taken off yesterday had already been tidied up. Lin Xin glanced at the marks on her body, silently changed into the clothes Ye Linghua had prepared, and then left the room.

The indulgence of the previous night made walking a little difficult for Lin Xin.

Yet, she couldn’t help but grumble about Ye Linghua: “I only asked her one question, and she spent the whole night throwing questions back at me.”

She kept asking if she was good at it—truly…

Just thinking about their nonsense last night made her blush again.

Opening the door and walking out, she muttered the entire way, thinking she must have a serious talk with her when she saw her.

How could she be naked while I was fully dressed! How could she keep asking me shameless questions in bed! How could she…

“Are you up? Come eat!”

All her internal complaints were cut short by Ye Linghua’s clear voice. Lin Xin paused and looked up in the direction of her voice.

She saw Ye Linghua standing at the island counter in her loungewear. Two servings of sandwiches were already on the table. She was holding a carton of milk, pouring half of it. She must have heard the door close and turned her head.

The cool and noble gaze, upon meeting Lin Xin’s eyes, slowly softened.

The forming smile filled her eyes with affection, making them look like dark, glistening obsidian gems.

It was the most beautiful sight in the world, and she was the one allowed to witness it.

Lin Xin’s heart skipped a beat. She saw the light from the window spilling onto Ye Linghua, as if coating her with a halo, with several circles of light behind her.

She seemed illusory, unreal, like someone who shouldn’t exist in this world. After all, she was so beautiful.

“What are you staring at? Come and eat!”

Ye Linghua looked amused and genuinely smiled.

Lin Xin acknowledged her and walked toward her.

Outside the window, the sun was bright. The scorching summer had finally arrived as promised. Lin Xin couldn’t know that in Ye Linghua’s eyes, her vibrant appearance, walking toward her with a look of satisfied contentment, was equally stunning.

How rare that beauty was!

Moreover, only Ye Linghua knew how hard-won a Lin Xin like this was. It was difficult to defy fate, but lovers finally found their way to each other.

The cicadas outside the window chirped their first summer song—Zhī liǎo, zhī liǎo, zhī liǎo (Cicada, cicada, cicada).

Under the clear blue sky, seen through the branches and the high-definition glass door, was the place where they would live from now on.

Ye Linghua placed the poured milk in front of her. The two smiled at each other.

“Wait, Ye Linghua, I came to talk to you about yesterday.”

“Let’s talk after breakfast!”

“Oh, fine. No, wait! You’re changing the subject! We need to talk first!”

“Xin Xin.”

“Mhm?”

“Was it comfortable?”

“Ye Linghua!!! Eat!!!”

“But you said you wanted to talk…”

“I said EAT!!!”

“Oh!” Pouting with grievance.

The sound of the cicadas grew louder, masking the sounds in the house of one person whose face was scarlet and temperamental, and another who was calm and put upon.

And a life like this will continue on and on…
