After Transmigrating Into An Eighteenth-Tier Alpha, I Married The Best Actress - Chapter 15
When Yin Lingzhu arrived at the office the next day, she found that aside from Kong Murui, there was another person there too.
“Long time no see.” Wan Miaoyin stood up and said to Yin Lingzhu.
The morning sunlight shone in, spilling over Wan Miaoyin’s white dress, gradually overlapping with the figure in Yin Lingzhu’s memories.
Yin Lingzhu also smiled politely. “Long time no see.”
Seeing the two of them like this, Yang Daiyi said in surprise, “You two knew each other before?”
Wan Miaoyin did not speak. She gathered her skirt slightly and sat back down in her original spot.
Yin Lingzhu answered Yang Daiyi’s question. “We were university classmates.”
Yin Lingzhu did not explain the specific relationship between them.
“All right. Before you came, Xiao Wan and Xiao Rui had already gotten to know each other. Since you and Xiao Wan know each other too, I won’t waste more words.”
“I plan to have the three of you form a three-person group and debut as a team.”
“Since Xiao Yin has shown relatively good stage performance ability recently, she’ll serve as the team leader. Do any of you have any objections?”
None of the three spoke, indicating their agreement.
Yang Daiyi nodded in satisfaction. “Recently, a variety show approached us. It’s a music variety show. Prepare well.”
“If there are no objections, Xiao Wan and Xiao Rui can go out first. Xiao Yin, stay behind. I have something to tell you privately.”
After the two of them left, Yang Daiyi sat beside Yin Lingzhu.
“Your relationship with President Yan isn’t ordinary, is it?”
“I know you don’t want to say much, but for the sake of your future, it’s better not to offend President Yan.”
Yin Lingzhu nodded at Yang Daiyi. “Don’t worry. I understand. I definitely won’t cause trouble for the company.”
“As long as you know. All right, go on out.”
Yin Lingzhu went to the studio. Inside, Kong Murui and Wan Miaoyin had already found the variety show.
“You’re here. Hurry and come watch with us.” Wan Miaoyin was the first to notice Yin Lingzhu. She waved at her and patted the spot beside herself.
Yin Lingzhu smiled and refused. “I feel uncomfortable sitting too close to the screen. It’s better if I sit behind you two.”
Yin Lingzhu chose the spot behind Wan Miaoyin.
Wan Miaoyin did not say anything more and quietly watched the large screen in front of them.
The three of them did not go out the whole day, carefully studying this variety show.
The variety show was called Music of Dreams, and it invited people with a little fame, or simply no fame at all.
But this show had also become very popular. It was precisely because of its authenticity that it had become a sought-after program.
On this show, one could sing solo or collaborate with multiple people, but the songs chosen were basically all currently popular songs.
After discussing it, the three of them finally settled on the song ranked first on the charts. It was a song about heartbreak.
Outside, the sky had turned completely dark. It was already ten at night.
“All right, everyone go back and get a good night’s rest tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll start rehearsing,” Yin Lingzhu said.
Just as Yin Lingzhu was about to leave, Wan Miaoyin called out to her.
“I want to talk to you alone.”
Yin Lingzhu shifted her gaze to Kong Murui. “Then you go back to the hotel first. No need to wait for me.”
After that day, Kong Murui had not checked out either and had continued staying in the room.
Only after Kong Murui left did Wan Miaoyin speak.
“You don’t need to worry. I stopped liking you a long time ago.”
Wan Miaoyin had clearly remembered how Yin Lingzhu had avoided suspicion before, so she explained.
Listening to her words, Yin Lingzhu felt slightly awkward. She had been a bit too self-important.
“Then let’s work well together from now on.” Yin Lingzhu stretched out her hand.
Just as Wan Miaoyin held that hand, Yan Si suddenly pushed open the door.
Yan Si looked the way she always did in front of the public, the corners of her mouth already carrying a hint of a smile before she even spoke.
Seeing those two clasped hands, the smile on Yan Si’s face stiffened.
But she adjusted herself immediately, and no one noticed.
Yan Si knew Wan Miaoyin. She had specifically investigated her.
Yan Si stared at Wan Miaoyin without speaking, but Wan Miaoyin could clearly feel that Yan Si did not welcome her.
“Senior, I’ll leave first.” Wan Miaoyin bent slightly toward Yan Si, and when she left, she gently closed the door as well.
When Yan Si heard the door close, the smile she had maintained was also put away.
“How did you get in contact with her?” Yan Si frowned and questioned her.
Hearing her words, Yin Lingzhu could not help wanting to laugh. What did Yan Si mean by using that tone?
“President Yan, what identity are you using to manage me right now?” Yin Lingzhu said expressionlessly.
“The contract you signed doesn’t allow artists to date. And you only just got divorced, yet you’ve already found your next one?” Yan Si spat out a string of words quickly.
After realizing what she had said, Yan Si could not help feeling somewhat annoyed. She had not come here to argue with Yin Lingzhu.
“She and I are colleagues right now. Besides, President Yan, you don’t seem qualified to accuse me, do you?”
Yin Lingzhu thought of Si Xin. “At least I didn’t cheat during marriage.”
Looking at the cold expression of the person in front of her, Yan Si felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
Only then did she realize that she could not accept Yin Lingzhu giving her a cold face.
“Nothing happened between me and Si Xin,” Yan Si explained dryly.
Yin Lingzhu stared at Yan Si. The person before her looked exactly the same as she had a year ago, without the slightest change.
“Yan Si, I no longer care whether you have anything to do with her. Even if you get a marriage certificate with her, it has nothing to do with me.”
“There is no longer any relationship between us.”
After saying that, Yin Lingzhu did not look at Yan Si’s expression and walked toward the door.
The instant she turned around, she felt her wrist being grabbed. She turned back to look at Yan Si.
Yan Si lowered her head slightly and said softly, “I was wrong.”
Yin Lingzhu shook off Yan Si’s hand and put distance between them, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “Were you wrong? Where were you wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have hurt your gland. I shouldn’t have relied on the fact that you liked me and acted however I wanted.” Tears spilled from Yan Si’s eyes.
Looking at Yan Si with her reddened eyes, Yin Lingzhu could not help freezing. She had never seen Yan Si show such a fragile side before.
Her heart softened a little. For someone of Yan Si’s status to cry for her—didn’t that mean Yan Si actually had her in her heart?
Her lips parted slightly. She wanted to tell Yan Si not to cry, but then she suddenly realized that Yan Si’s crying appearance looked a little familiar.
She thought about it in her heart, then could not help laughing aloud.
That laugh carried sorrow and mockery.
In one of the dramas Yan Si had acted in before, her character had hurt her lover, then apologized to that lover afterward.
The way she looked then was exactly the same as now, without the slightest difference.
“Yan Si, can you let me go?” Yin Lingzhu pleaded with Yan Si.
She did not know why Yan Si had to keep entangling herself with her.
The despair in Yin Lingzhu’s voice made Yan Si’s tears stop.
“Yan Si, you don’t know where you were wrong, do you?”
Hearing Yin Lingzhu’s question, Yan Si hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She truly did not know where she was wrong.
She had thought that as long as she apologized, Yin Lingzhu would come back.
“Yan Si, why are you clinging to me?” Yin Lingzhu asked the question that had puzzled her during this period.
Yan Si answered decisively, “I like you.”
Time seemed to stop at this moment. The lights in the studio seemed too bright, so dazzling they hurt the eyes.
Yin Lingzhu felt as if the light had flashed into her eyes, making her hallucinate.
Yan Si said she liked her?
How was that possible?
She had never felt Yan Si’s affection at all. Not even the slightest bit.
“Yan Si, you don’t need to tell this kind of lie. I have nothing left to give you now. There’s no need for you to do this.”
After throwing down those words, Yin Lingzhu quickly left.
Yan Si stretched out her hand again, but she held on to nothing.
