When the Male Lead Finds Out I’m the Transmigrator Trying to Win Him Over - Chapter 58

Yun ruo stared at the affection meter in surprise for a long time.

Her previous hot-and-cold behavior had been in preparation for today. It’s hard to control one’s emotions when something long desired suddenly comes into reach; even if her face didn’t show it, her heart was quietly delighted.

She had originally thought that earning just 2% of affection would be enough.

But it jumped straight to 95%.

Her mission was complete.

“Yay! Mission accomplished! We can go home now!”

The system had already set off fireworks in her mind. Even through its electronic voice, the excitement was obvious. If Yun ruo hadn’t specifically requested otherwise, it would have immediately taken her back to her original world.

“When are we going home?”

Yun ruo took a sip of wine, feeling the burning gaze of the man beside her, leaving her momentarily speechless.

“I’ll think about it,” he said, letting her ponder.

After waiting so long for this moment, she was a little overwhelmed. Even arriving home, she felt dazed.

Han Qi carefully felt Yun ruo’s forehead—normal temperature, not hot. “What’s wrong? You’ve been distracted the whole way home.”

On the way, they had passed Meng Tingmo without exchanging a single glance.

Yun ruo closed her eyes briefly. “Maybe the wine and the wind made me a bit dizzy. You know my tolerance isn’t great.”

That was the only plausible explanation for now. Han Qi trusted her and told her to lie down for a while as he went to make a sobering soup. “Rest a bit before washing up.”

Yun ruo curled up on the sofa, without even a trace of her usual teasing, only nodding.

She watched Han Qi’s back as he went to the kitchen.

She was going home.

Taking out her phone, she checked her calendar. Three days later was the company annual meeting, and a week later was the Spring Festival.

“I think after the annual meeting would be good—let’s give you three days to settle unfinished matters, then you can enjoy the party. After that, we’ll happily go home.”

Yun ruo hesitated, unable to make a decision immediately.

When Han Qi returned with the sobering soup, she put her phone away and instinctively lifted her face with a smile. “Is it ready?”

“Mm,” Han Qi said, having carefully checked the temperature before handing it to her. He then sat beside her.

Yun ruo sipped carefully. After ensuring it wasn’t too hot, she tilted her head back and drank it all.

Setting down the bowl, she couldn’t help but burp.

Han Qi chuckled lightly beside her. “Full?”

Yun ruo looked at him. Han Qi smiled more freely than Meng Tingmo. Meng Tingmo always maintained a cold, pretentious face, but the upside was that when he smiled, you could tell he was genuinely happy.

Han Qi was different; it was hard to tell what he was really thinking. As Assistant Liu had mentioned, Han Qi encouraged with a smile whether things were done right or wrong—but the more he smiled, the more fear lingered beneath.

Yet, every time Yun ruo touched his face while he smiled at her, she could feel his true happiness.

Yun ruo leaned over and kissed Han Qi, pretending it was because she was drunk.

Han Qi paused slightly, then responded. He figured Yun ruo was indeed drunk—normally she wouldn’t be this proactive. Usually, she would only peck him briefly when she wanted to comfort him, never like this…

Han Qi held her shoulders to steady her on the sofa, then stood over her. His tall figure completely enveloped her, making it impossible to discern any details from behind.

This kiss was deep, unlike before.

Perhaps the alcohol made her lose a bit of control. Han Qi’s kiss traveled down from her lips to her ears and neck. Yun ruo tilted her head back along with him, but at the last moment, she pushed him away.

“What’s wrong?” the man’s voice was hoarse. He gently kissed her forehead.

Yun ruo shook her head. “Dizzy.”

Was it the alcohol kicking in? Han Qi worried the sobering soup hadn’t worked and wanted to carry her upstairs, but Yun ruo refused.

“I can manage myself,” she emphasized, holding up a finger.

Han Qi smiled. “Mm, you can do it.”

Yun ruo held the railing and walked upstairs. Han Qi followed closely behind to prevent her from falling. Luckily, she wasn’t completely “drunk.”

Standing at the bedroom door, she waved at Han Qi. “Goodnight. I’m going to sleep.”

Han Qi hesitated. “Can you wash up yourself? If you’re too dizzy, just sleep now and get ready in the morning.”

Yun ruo obediently nodded.

Han Qi ruffled her hair and went downstairs to clean up the kitchen.

Yun ruo stood quietly until she no longer heard his footsteps, then closed the bedroom door.

As the door shut, she told the system, “I’ll stay with him until after this Spring Festival, then I’ll leave.”

The Spring Festival only lasts a few days—until the seventh? Or the fifteenth?

The system warned sternly: “At most until the seventh. You can’t delay. I can’t watch you fall in too deep.”

“I know, I promise,” Yun ruo raised both hands. “Besides, it’s not just Han Qi—there’s also Feihan.”

Xitong and Yunjia… there were many farewells to be made.

Once she left, the system said that, for safety, this body would be declared dead.

She thought about it and found it reasonable. This body, even if alive, would be like a vegetable without a soul, lying in the hospital. Each day it survived, it would continue to affect everyone’s hearts.

Better to set everyone free.

“Mainly, I’m worried that another unscrupulous system might sneak in and put a new soul into this body.”

This body? Yun ruo looked in the mirror. “This is someone else’s body.”

“When she died, I negotiated with her and obtained permission to use her body.”

“In exchange, I could fulfill one wish of hers.”

“She wished that anyone who entered this body would take care of her younger brother until he finished university. Preferably, even through graduate school, or at least until he could take care of himself as an adult. The only one she worried about was Yunjia.”

Yun ruo was stunned. The system had never told her this before.

“I followed you in your world for two months to make sure you were my first host. I may be new and inexperienced, but I knew that even if I didn’t tell you, you would care for Yunjia.”

Yun ruo had a kind heart and knew gratitude.

She not only helped Yunjia get into university, but also tutored him and cared for him all the way. Unfortunately, Yunjia took a wrong step.

Perhaps fate destined that the siblings’ bond could only go so far.

Thinking of Yunjia, Yun ruo wanted to say something, but didn’t know what. In the end, she sighed.

She messaged Yunjia to meet. Since she was leaving, she wanted to settle things one by one, starting with him.

Yun ruo hadn’t proactively contacted Yunjia for a long time. He was delighted and immediately agreed.

He spent the whole day anticipating leaving work. Yun ruo asked for the home password and said she’d wait at his house. He couldn’t contain his excitement.

After finishing her afternoon meeting on time, she drove home with a smile. Upon entering, the aroma of food hit her.

Yunjia was stunned. Yun ruo was cooking in the kitchen.

His eyes filled with tears.

He recalled long ago, back in high school and university, on weekends when he came home, Yun ruo had always prepared meals for him. During his senior year, she rented a place off-campus, cooking, doing laundry, and tutoring him daily. Now it seemed like a distant memory.

Even though Yun ruo had treated him so well, he had once blamed her.

Yunjia changed his shoes and went to the kitchen.

“One last dish,” Yun ruo said. “Help me bring the soup bowl. We’ll eat soon.”

Yunjia obediently followed her instructions, helping her set the table. After sitting down again, he devoured his food, wanting to show his appreciation.

Yunruo served him soup. “If you’re full, stop. Otherwise, you’ll need medicine for indigestion.”

Only then did Yunjia pause.

Yun ruo casually asked, “How’s work going?”

“Good,” Yunjia adjusted his glasses. He might not achieve great wealth, but he could support himself and his employees. “Everything’s fine.”

“Good.” Yun ruo asked again, “Any girls you like?”

Yunjia blushed.

Seeing this, Yun ruo knew the answer and relaxed. He didn’t need her concern anymore.

She directly explained her purpose: “I won’t beat around the bush. You know my origin—I don’t belong to this world.”

Yunjia froze, then quickly responded, “I don’t mind!”

Yun ruo reassured him: “I mean, I’m leaving.”

“Leaving?” Yunjia didn’t understand.

“Back to my world.”

“No, you can’t!” Yunjia panicked. He knelt beside her, grabbing her hand desperately. “If you leave, we’ll never meet again. I know it’s all my fault. I misunderstood you before—you didn’t take care of me for money. It was my problem. I’m sorry—”

Huh? Yun ruo was surprised—Yunjia knew the truth?

“Of course I wouldn’t let you be misunderstood forever. The night you let Jiang Yufei tell Meng Tingmo the truth, she also told Yunjia and Xitong.”

So that’s it.

Yun ruo smiled and helped him up. “I’ve made my decision. I have my own life to live. You’ll support me, won’t you, Xiaojia?”

Yunjia’s objections ceased.

Seeing Yun ruo’s gentle smile, he couldn’t ask her to stay for his sake—it would be too selfish.

Yun ruo steadied him. “When I arrived here, I spoke with your sister.”

Sister? Yunjia’s eyes filled with tears, staring at Yun ruo—his own sister?

Yun ruo said, “I asked her if she had any unfinished wishes. She said she couldn’t let go of you.”

Yunjia’s tears streamed down.

Yun ruo patted his shoulder. “Your parents and sister want you to live well. This is their final wish. Xiaojia, you’ve always been loved by many.”

“For their sake, please live well from now on. Your life is not just about me; it is a vast world. Many things can fill it. I wish you all the best in the future.”

Yunjia shook his head and buried his face in her lap. He loved both his sisters.

But from this day onward, he would have no sisters.

Leaving Yunjia’s home, it was already dark. New Year was near. Lanterns and festive lights lined the streets. Yun ruo walked along, letting her thoughts drift.

She didn’t realize how long she had walked. So this was how sad farewells could be.

She took out her phone and messaged Xitong: “Do you have time to meet recently?”

Xitong replied at 11 PM: “Too busy 😭. The holidays are coming, lots of company matters, visiting family, everywhere to go.”

“The other day, Wen Shao’s game was my last chance to relax before the holidays.”

Yun ruo sent a hugging emoji.

The next day was Han Qi’s company annual meeting. Yun ruo was busy all day. Her only moment of relaxation was during the evening gala when departments performed. She sent a bullet comment, hoping to win a prize.

When Han Qi went on stage to speak, media cameras focused on him. Despite being watched by everyone, Han Qi was calm and composed, speaking at a steady pace.

He occasionally met Yunruo’s eyes in the audience and smiled.

Flashes went off everywhere.

Yun ruo leaned against a pillar, chatting casually with the system in her mind: “He’s very handsome, right?”

“A male lead’s face is standard.”

“When we first arrived, you said Meng Tingmo was the main male lead in this world.”

“Not wrong. Meng Tingmo is the male lead of this world. Han Qi is your male lead.”

“Hey, that’s unfair!” Yun ruo exclaimed. “You let me leave quickly, then say things that make me not want to go!”

The system lit a virtual cigarette: “Those who truly leave, nothing can hold them back.”
