After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 70

Ye Linghua returned to the room and saw Lin Xin listlessly slumped on the sofa, clutching a cushion.

Although her fever had subsided, she was clearly still feeling a little sluggish.

Seeing Ye Linghua return, she regained some spirit and asked: “Did she leave?”

Ye Linghua acknowledged with an “Mm,” walked over, and sat down beside Lin Xin, asking: “If you don’t feel well, should I ask Tang Qiaozi to come over this afternoon and cook something for you?” Ye Linghua knew the limits of her own cooking skills; simple, everyday dishes were barely passable. Anything better than that, she couldn’t manage.

Fortunately, she had a few capable friends.

However, Lin Xin wasn’t enthusiastic; their precious ‘two-person world’ didn’t need interruption. Yet, she was curious about Tang Qiaozi’s identity. Her eyes rolled, and she looked back at Ye Linghua, asking: “Doesn’t she work?”

Ye Linghua paused, then smiled, thinking Lin Xin probably wasn’t just asking about that. But Ye Linghua didn’t feel the need to hide anything, so she honestly said: “She owns a business. When you were in Hong Kong City, didn’t I take you to her shop?”

Lin Xin was startled and immediately remembered. It was that incredibly stylish shop. But the things inside were outrageously expensive. At the time, the manager even chatted with Ye Linghua and seemed very familiar with her. Finally, the manager had waived her bill.

The manager had even said she could eat for free anytime she went!

So, it was that shop! Lin Xin covered her mouth in shock and asked: “That’s her shop? Is it really her shop?” Tang Qiaozi simply looked too unserious, making it hard for Lin Xin to associate her with the image of a powerful CEO.

Ye Linghua nodded and explained: “Her family has been in the catering industry for generations. It is said that their ancestors used to cook for the Emperor. Therefore, they have always worked hard and are considered very prominent in the catering industry. The shop you went to is just one of her businesses.”

Lin Xin then recalled Meng Kelin saying that the shop had 158 branches nationwide!

Thinking this, Lin Xin couldn’t help but exclaim: “158 branches, and it’s just one of her businesses?”

Ye Linghua chuckled: “The so-called 158 branches refer to all the food and beverage establishments under this one company name. In fact, they aren’t all the same named shops.”

Lin Xin registered this with an “Oh,” but was still very surprised. An owner with 158 shops under one company was already a major boss. Lin Xin, having worked herself to death for so many years, probably didn’t earn as much as Tang Qiaozi’s profit in one year.

And yet, Ye Linghua was actually asking this big boss to come over and help cook.

Thinking this, Lin Xin felt uncomfortable: “Then let’s not call her. A big corporation like hers must be very busy.” Most importantly, it just didn’t feel right!

Ye Linghua: “…She’s not busy.”

Lin Xin: “…”

Left speechless by Ye Linghua’s matter-of-fact attitude, Lin Xin could only change the subject and ask: “Ye Linghua, are you very busy?”

Ye Linghua: “Yes, I’m busy.” She didn’t even know why she admired success so much.

Lin Xin secretly glanced at her: “Is that why you didn’t have time to visit me on set and also didn’t have time to participate in the variety show with me?”

With wide eyes, looking at her pitifully over the cushion, Ye Linghua paused. Thinking that Meng Kelin would tell her anyway, and it was the same if she said it, she informed Lin Xin: “I am a bit busy, but I promised Sister Meng that I would participate in the variety show with you.”

Lin Xin nodded, but it took a moment for the realization to sink in. She looked at Ye Linghua in shock and asked: “Ah? Are you going?” Even though she heard it with her own ears, Lin Xin was still in disbelief.

Ye Linghua: “Yes, I am.”

Lin Xin: “Why? When we recorded ‘Dusk’ (the variety show), you said you didn’t want to show your face.”

Ye Linghua didn’t deny it. After all, when Lin Xin was recording ‘Dusk,’ she had just made her comeback. For Lin Xin, ‘Dusk’ was extremely important.

This instilled in Ye Linghua a determination to ensure ‘Dusk’ was recorded successfully from the start. So, when Meng Kelin mentioned encountering obstacles, Ye Linghua did everything she could to help.

And when Meng Kelin stated that someone needed to fill in, under the circumstances, Ye Linghua still stepped in.

She preferred not to appear on camera unless absolutely necessary. That’s why no one in the world knew about a person named Ye Linghua.

However, it was precisely because she valued Lin Xin’s comeback more than her own privacy that she went all out and filled the spot.

Thinking about it now, she might have been tricked by Meng Kelin.

But she gladly accepted it. If she was tricked, so be it! She had been tricked once; what’s the harm in being tricked a second time?

Ye Linghua sighed and replied: “Everything has a priority.”

Lin Xin blinked her big eyes, then silently buried herself in the cushion, giggling happily.

Ye Linghua: “…”

Just as Ye Linghua was amused by this, Lin Xin, resting her head on the cushion, called out to her again: “Ye Linghua.”

Ye Linghua: “Yes?”

Lin Xin: “You are so good!” For my sake, you’ll even do things you don’t like.

Ye Linghua: “You’ve said that. You’ve said it many times.”

Lin Xin: “Hehe, I know, but I still feel I should keep telling you.”

Ye Linghua looked at her bright, dark eyes, watching her with full admiration. She looked at the slightly disheveled strands of hair on Lin Xin’s head.

She rubbed Lin Xin’s head but quickly withdrew her hand without lingering too long.

Ye Linghua stood up and said: “Alright, I’m going to call Tang Qiaozi.”

“Wait.” Lin Xin wanted to grab her, but Ye Linghua had already left.

Lin Xin could only lean against the cushion and mutter softly: “She doesn’t even know how to enjoy a two-person world. Such a blockhead.”

And so, the two-person world became a three-person world.

Tang Qiaozi, hearing that Lin Xin had arrived, drove over without hesitation, bringing along many ingredients they didn’t have there.

Upon arriving, she learned that Lin Xin was sick, so she drove out the ingredients she brought and returned with a fresh batch.

Tang Qiaozi was a chef, not a doctor, so she wasn’t completely sure about what Lin Xin could or couldn’t eat.

However, she knew that sick people should eat food that was easily digestible and good for nutritional replenishment.

Upon arriving at the house, she immediately started focusing on the menu for lunch, spending the entire morning stewing and cooking in the kitchen.

To help Lin Xin recover quickly, Ye Linghua outright asked Tang Qiaozi to stay.

Tang Qiaozi made an OK sign and said: “I’ll go through fire and water.”

Ye Linghua ruthlessly replied: “You don’t need to. Just cook a meal. You can go back tomorrow after you’re done.”

Tang Qiaozi: “…Sometimes you should speak like a normal human being.” If it weren’t for our twenty years of friendship, do you think my cooking is that easily obtained?

However, Tang Qiaozi still went to cook for the two of them.

In the evening, Tang Qiaozi suddenly noticed that Lin Xin was constantly moving in and out of Ye Linghua’s bedroom on the first floor. Tang Qiaozi was shocked and shouted: “Are you two sleeping in one room???”

Ye Linghua was stunned by her shout and felt a little embarrassed. She felt the discomfort of being caught red-handed, yet she also felt she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Lin Xin said very calmly: “I’m afraid of the dark.”

Tang Qiaozi widened her eyes and applauded: “What a good excuse.”

Lin Xin slightly raised her head, even showing a hint of pride.

Ye Linghua was speechless by their conversation and finally spoke: “Go to bed!”

Tang Qiaozi walked upstairs, looking back at the two of them. When she reached the staircase landing, she asked again: “Lin Xin, does she secretly grope you?”

Ye Linghua quickly turned and glared at her, rolling up her sleeves as if to rush up.

Tang Qiaozi let out a high-pitched sound and quickly dashed back to her own room.

Ye Linghua was only trying to scare her and didn’t actually chase her. But after Tang Qiaozi said that, she felt a sense of awkwardness for some reason.

Thus, when the two silently returned to the room, looking at the single large bed before them, a delayed shyness swept over both of them.

Lin Xin’s cheeks flushed, like a pink, tender peach.

Ye Linghua looked at her, finding her extremely alluring and captivating, making it impossible to look away.

This caused her voice to sound very hesitant when she spoke: “Tang Qiaozi, you know what she’s like. She has no filter.”

Lin Xin nodded, indicating she understood.

However, when she climbed onto the bed, pulled the covers over herself, and lay there, revealing only a pair of dark, bright eyes, looking at Ye Linghua with expectation,

Ye Linghua suddenly felt that having just one bed was very difficult. Sleeping together felt a bit too intimate.

At this moment, she didn’t think about Lin Xin’s assertiveness or the fact that her own yielding had led to this.

She only thought about Lin Xin’s current state: this person had been very seductive lately, and sleeping together was definitely dangerous.

This change in her thinking made Ye Linghua feel like going up and fighting Tang Qiaozi. Look at the things you said!

She had made her own thoughts impure…
