After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 119

Lin Xin became a legend in the entertainment industry.

She was a former child star who had a 5-year failed marriage and was so thoroughly smeared by her ex that she should have faded into obscurity. Yet, she suddenly landed an billionaire. Could such a good thing actually happen?

If Ye Linghua hadn’t appeared in public, fans might have continued to say Lin Xin sold herself to a fat, ugly old woman. However, Ye Linghua possessed a celestial beauty and was not creepy in the slightest.

To put it less politely, even if she had no money, she’d still be easy to keep as a mistress!

Within a couple of days, Ye Linghua accepted an interview. As someone who was little known in fan circles but a business legend in the commercial world, Ye Linghua was the focus of nationwide attention.

According to Ye Linghua’s account, as a person who lusted after Lin Xin’s beauty, she flew to Youcheng the moment she heard Lin Xin was divorced. The plane ticket served as proof, and the date on it indeed matched the day Zheng Lanwen moved out of Lin Xin’s place.

She worried that Lin Xin, having just gone through a divorce, would be heartbroken, disappointed in love, and disgusted with humanity. To win the beauty’s heart, she pretended to be a housekeeper interviewing for the job and successfully moved into Lin Xin’s home.

This “overbearing CEO falls for me and hides her identity to chase her wife” drama perfectly satisfied the public’s thirst for romantic gossip. Consequently, Ye Linghua’s name went from completely unknown to a household name.

Following this, Meng Kelin received countless requests for Lin Xin to give interviews.

Meng Kelin then selected a highly authoritative program. With Ye Linghua’s protection, a show about Lin Xin’s perspective on Ye Linghua’s identity concealment was released.

The ratings were predictably high. Even middle-aged people who weren’t skilled with their phones would ask their children: “Do you know about that Ye and Lin thing? What’s going on now?”

Lin Xin generously admitted on the program that she and Ye Linghua fell in love over time, watching as Ye Linghua, who was initially clueless, learned everything little by little from her. She also recounted the complicated journey where, after she rejected Ye Linghua’s confession, she proactively pursued Ye Linghua in return.

Naturally, this passionate pursuit of love became a widely celebrated story.

No one doubted their feelings. One could shed her status, the other could reject millions of dollars. To overcome such hurdles and still end up together, perhaps even Heaven couldn’t bear the depth of Ye Linghua’s affection or the misfortune of Lin Xin’s past.

The Morning Star ship officially became a national CP (couple).

Ye Linghua finally received an invitation from Lin Xin’s mother. The meeting, which should have happened much earlier, finally took place in Youcheng, arranged by Lin Xin.

That day, Ye Linghua was staying at Lin Xin’s small villa when she suddenly heard Lin Xin say, “My mother is coming.”

Ye Linghua’s hand paused. She chuckled and said, “That’s my fault for being impolite. I should have visited her.”

Lin Xin nestled into her arms and said, “What does that have to do with you? I took on a show and was away for a while, so I didn’t have time to arrange the meeting.”

Their relationship was solid, so this minor issue wasn’t a point of contention.

Lin Xin’s mother was traveling from the capital, a several-hour journey. Ye Linghua naturally arranged the most luxurious car. Lin Xin said, “My mother isn’t that fussy!”

Ye Linghua smiled and replied, “It’s not about being fussy; it’s about sincerity. While it doesn’t have to be this extravagant, since the outside world says I’m rich, being understated about this would make me look insincere.”

Lin Xin giggled innocently, saying, “Hehe, that ‘sincerity’ will end up as another trending topic.”

Ye Linghua could only hug her and say, “My lover is a celebrity; I deserve this.”

Lin Xin paused, frowned, and looked up at her, asking, “So, I suddenly wonder, why exactly did you fly down to find me in the first place?”

Ye Linghua: “…”

Seeing that Ye Linghua seemed about to speak, Lin Xin quickly interrupted and warned, “Don’t use those TV drama clichés to fob me off. When you first arrived, you didn’t even like me!”

Ye Linghua looked at her, seeing her exquisite features, slightly furrowed brows, and earnest, round eyes looking straight at her.

Ye Linghua smiled and kissed her, chuckling softly between kisses: “It’s a beautiful spring day; why think about such things?”

Lin Xin was left breathless and too annoyed to speak: “…” She’s changing the subject again!

So, why exactly did she fly down to find me back then?

Lin Qingfen stepped off the plane. Coming out of the gate, she saw Ye Linghua and Lin Xin waiting for her. A few fans and reporters were hidden behind them, with the occasional click of cameras.

Lin Qingfen was a woman with a gentle appearance. Having a daughter like Lin Xin, Lin Qingfen was naturally beautiful herself.

With slightly worried-looking eyebrows and eyes that seemed both joyful and deep with emotion.

She pushed her luggage cart out like a frail willow swaying in the wind, looking charming and far from old.

Upon meeting Lin Xin’s mother, Ye Linghua realized the two were somewhat alike.

Lin Qingfen examined Ye Linghua from head to toe. Ye Linghua was uncharacteristically nervous for a moment, then offered a slightly ingratiating smile: “Aunt Lin, hello.”

Lin Qingfen nodded and said, “Hello. This is our first meeting, right?”

Ye Linghua smiled awkwardly: “Yes, it is.” She recalled the initial fake interview and having hired a university student to pretend to be her during the real interview. Truthfully, this was indeed their first time meeting.

Lin Qingfen smiled, then looked at Lin Xin and asked, “Xin Xin, did you miss your mother?” After speaking, she rushed forward and hugged Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was hugged head-on and pushed her mother away helplessly, saying, “Don’t do that; so many people are watching!”

Lin Qingfen complained grudgingly: “They all say a married daughter is like spilled water. Now you won’t even let your mother hug you.”

Lin Xin could only stay silent. Ye Linghua saw some fans were getting restless and the paparazzi were becoming a little brazen. She had to shield the two and suggest, “Aunt Lin, Xin Xin, let’s go to the car first!”

Lin Qingfen was aware of Lin Xin’s situation. Since their CP, Morning Star, had officially gained national popularity, they could practically be called a national couple.

It wouldn’t be good to cause a commotion at the airport with people constantly coming and going.

Lin Qingfen was led to the parking lot by the couple, where she saw the tens-of-millions-dollar Maybach and was completely stunned.

Her introduction to her current husband was actually thanks to Lin Xin.

Her husband was also considerate, gentle, and wealthy.

But he didn’t have the means to casually drop ten million to buy a car.

Therefore, Lin Qingfen wondered if this person… was showing off?

Under her suspicious gaze, Ye Linghua could only smile in confusion and say, “Aunt, please get in the car.”

Ye Linghua used the best car, booked the most expensive hotel, and even had the ingredients for dinner flown in, all to demonstrate her sincerity.

It was fair to say she was overflowing with sincerity.

Fortunately, Lin Qingfen didn’t feel she had the right to interfere with Lin Xin’s life. Her visit wasn’t to vet Lin Xin’s choice but simply to check on her daughter.

As for Ye Linghua, although she hadn’t interacted with her much, she thought a person this wealthy wouldn’t have the leisure to fool her daughter.

Moreover, Ye Linghua’s sincerity did make an impact. Lin Qingfen could see her intention to have a good life together.

After dinner, she had even fewer reasons to object.

The chemistry between Ye Linghua and Lin Xin was clearly the reason why the Morning Star ship was so successful.

Besides, during the meal, the atmosphere between them was intimate. Their conversation and laughter were filled with romance.

Later that night, back at the villa, Lin Xin and Lin Qingfen chatted in the room.

Lin Qingfen couldn’t help but hold Lin Xin’s hand and say, “Although I am your mother, I left when you were very young. I know I wasn’t a qualified mother and didn’t take good care of you. So, I have no right to comment on your romantic life.”

Lin Xin also held her mother’s hand tightly. Their relationship wasn’t as deep as it could have been. Years of separation had caused them to lose the intimacy that requires constant cultivation.

But she held no resentment toward Lin Qingfen.

“I remember all the hardships you went through when you were raising me alone.” Lin Xin’s voice was heavy with emotion: “I remember that back then, you were my whole world, and I truly loved my mother. I was willing to endure any hardship so you could live an easier life.” Lin Xin was once a reserved person, maintaining a cool and noble public persona, and being much the same privately.

This was the first time in many years that Lin Qingfen heard Lin Xin talk about the past.

“Later, I achieved some success. I was happy that my success alleviated some of the hardships in your life. I’m also very glad that you met Mr. Zhao through my career. Your life became colorful again. Mom, I never regretted you leaving me. You should have your own life, so there’s no need to constantly blame yourself.”

Lin Xin was filming back then, and Lin Qingfen met the traveling Mr. Zhao at the studio. The two fell in love. But Lin Qingfen hadn’t planned on remarrying. Lin Xin was the one who pushed them the most to take that step.

An unhappy life isn’t lessened by one more person sharing the burden. However, the joy of happiness can certainly be shared.

Lin Qingfen felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She held Lin Xin tightly in her embrace.

The two hugged in silence for a while. Before Lin Xin left, Lin Qingfen handed her a passbook.

“I said these things when you married Zheng Lanwen. Zhao Jun’s wealth is his. Since I plan to live with him, I won’t take advantage of it. I gave you the money I had saved when you got married. But I’ve always been worried about you and Zheng Lanwen, so I’ve never stopped saving money for you. Zhao Jun also secretly put in a few million. Keep it. No matter how rich Ye Linghua is, that money is hers.”

Lin Xin didn’t refuse the kindness. She took the card, then smiled and told Lin Qingfen: “Ye Linghua chose to stay in this country for me. I probably won’t draw such a clear line with her.”

Lin Qingfen sighed and shook her head: “Has the situation with Zheng Lanwen not woken you up enough?”

Lin Xin: “If it wasn’t Ye Linghua, I think it would be enough. But because it is Ye Linghua, it’s not enough. Because Zheng Lanwen… is not qualified to be compared to Ye Linghua.”

Worry inevitably crept into Lin Qingfen’s heart, but the love-struck Lin Xin on the opposite side replied: “Mom, you can rest assured. She is Ye Linghua!”

This assurance! This love!

Lin Qingfen felt a twinge of jealousy that she didn’t even feel when dealing with Meng Kelin.

Lin Qingfen stayed in Youcheng for a few days, and of course, the trending topics exploded.

But Lin Xin and Ye Linghua rarely checked Weibo now, so they acted ignorant.

They spent time with Lin Qingfen sightseeing in Youcheng until a few days later, when they drove her to the airport.

Ye Linghua worked tirelessly. When Lin Xin ran to the restroom halfway, Ye Linghua stayed behind to help check everything for boarding.

Seeing Lin Xin hadn’t returned yet, Ye Linghua became a little anxious.

Lin Qingfen noticed this. Thinking that Lin Xin wasn’t around, she couldn’t help but ask Ye Linghua: “Back then, although you pretended to be a university student to find Xin Xin, you had no prior connection before that. Given your vision and qualifications, saying you fell in love with a beautiful celebrity at first sight? Perhaps, but waiting for years is impossible.” Lin Qingfen wasn’t a girl fantasizing about love. She was obviously skeptical of such a dreamy explanation. However, her daughter was so love-struck that she didn’t question any of it.

Lin Qingfen was truly worried: “Ye Linghua, why exactly did you approach Xin Xin back then?”

Ye Linghua looked at Lin Qingfen’s expression—the worry of a mother for her daughter.

She felt a little heavy-hearted, unsure how to answer. After all, some things, Ye Linghua planned to take to the grave.

She could tell Lin Xin that she was from another world.

She could tell Lin Xin that she would stay here for her forever.

What did it matter if she gave her life?

But how could Ye Linghua tell Lin Xin that this world was a book?

How could she tell Lin Xin that she would be betrayed by the whole world?

How could she tell Lin Xin that all their joys and sorrows were just words written to amuse a reader?

“Mom, do you believe in fate?”

Lin Qingfen was stunned: “???”

Ye Linghua smiled: “I think our encounter was arranged by fate. Me coming down to find her back then was also arranged by fate.”

Lin Qingfen: “…” What nonsense is that?

Ye Linghua pointed to the electronic board and said, “Your boarding time is almost here.”

Lin Qingfen: “…No, you aren’t even married yet! Don’t call me ‘Mom’!”

Ye Linghua confidently said: “We will definitely get married, and very soon. Mom can rest assured and leave Xin Xin to me. I will guard her in this world.”

Lin Qingfen: “…Tsk.” Is she a chuunibyou (person with delusions of grandeur)?

Lin Qingfen was left speechless by Ye Linghua, but she couldn’t help but smile as she turned away. She waved her hand, leaving Ye Linghua with a parting view of her back, and one final sentence: “Tell Xin Xin I’ll be back.”

Ye Linghua smiled too: “Okay, Mom. Goodbye, Mom.”

Later, Ye Linghua and Lin Xin got married.

Just as Ye Linghua said, very, very soon…

However, it was widely known that this time, Lin Xin was the one who proposed.

During a live stream, Lin Xin brought Ye Linghua on camera. The power of the Morning Star couple’s combined appearance pushed the viewing figures past 5 million in a short time and they continued to rise.

Lin Xin claimed she was bringing Ye Linghua along to visit her on set. To promote her new drama, Lin Xin wore the red wide-sleeved Hanfu costume from the show, talking to the camera about the grand scale of the filming and the tight plot, while also telling Ye Linghua amusing anecdotes from the set.

Ye Linghua’s expression shifted according to the stories Lin Xin told: relaxing, slightly frowning, joyful, angry.

Passing a stage, Lin Xin pointed up and said, “I rehearsed this dance for a long time. I’ll dance it for you.”

Naturally, all the fans watching the stream got to see it too.

The music was magnificent and deeply moving. Beautiful petals drifted down from the sky, accompanied by bursts of captivating floral fragrance.

Lin Xin was seen dancing barefoot on the snow-white stone, moving with the steps of a mountain orchid in a secluded valley. Her wide sleeves featured vivid cloud patterns. She gracefully moved her hands, making the jade-like sleeves rustle.

The opening and closing of her wide sleeves highlighted Lin Xin’s stunning beauty, making Ye Linghua’s heart surge.

Her dark hair flowed, and her posture was elegant; everyone was mesmerized.

With a beat of the drum, Lin Xin turned to look back, her brilliant, deep eyes like the silvery Milky Way under the moon.

Ye Linghua felt a thump; the drumstick seemed to strike her own heart.

Lin Xin, slightly out of breath, with strands of hair stuck to her forehead with sweat from the dance, asked loudly: “Ye Linghua, want to get married tomorrow?”

The directors: “???” We are confused too!

Ye Linghua stood there steadily. Under the blinding sunlight, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face, and she replied: “Yes.”

Their wedding was not public. One day, Lin Xin simply posted on Weibo.

The post featured pictures of them wearing white wedding gowns, gently kissing each other.

There were also pictures of them wearing traditional Chinese bridal attire, red colors intertwining, both smiling radiantly.

Fans immediately complained: The relationship was live-streamed, the proposal was live-streamed, the engagement was live-streamed, and Lin Xin’s proposal was even live-streamed.

Why wasn’t the wedding live-streamed!!!

Lin Xin replied with an innocent and earnest sentence: Huh? My lover, Ye Linghua, isn’t an industry insider!

Fans:

Lin Xin:

So, fans flocked to Ye Linghua’s Weibo to demand answers.

Ye Linghua also replied with an innocent and earnest sentence: Huh? At home, I listen to Xin Xin for minor issues, and only for major issues do I listen to myself.

Fans: 【…Are we still not talking about a major issue here?】

Ye Linghua: Huh? What counts as a major issue in our home is also decided by Xin Xin.

Fans: Listen to me say, thank you.

—”We will definitely get married, and very soon. Mom can rest assured and leave Xin Xin to me. I will guard her in this world.”

That day, no one saw Lin Xin standing behind the stone pillar. She told herself: Ye Linghua, I won’t let you lose.

This should be the final extra chapter. The possibility of another one is small.

【Flash Marriage After Confusing My Wife】

Wei Xiatian transmigrated.

She transmigrated into a world with six genders.

That wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that the new body committed suicide.

Wei Xiatian carefully read the original owner’s suicide note.

The original owner had worked at an entertainment company for six years.

She now owed the company 3 million yuan.

Hmm?

Wei Xiatian: “…”

The entertainment industry is too dark!

This is outrageous!!!

No, I have to die and go back!!!

To pay off the debt, the scared-to-death Wei Xiatian was dragged to a hotel by her manager.

At the hotel entrance, in a panic, Wei Xiatian grabbed a woman entering the hotel and yelled, “Honey, help!”

The grabbed woman froze, then slowly turned to look at her.

The click-click of camera shutters came from behind.

“Honey?” Xiao Qi looked at Wei Xiatian and smiled darkly: “Hmm?”

Wei Xiatian: “…Oh, Movie Queen.”

That night, Weibo crashed…
