After Transmigrating Into An Eighteenth-Tier Alpha, I Married The Best Actress - Chapter 5

Yin Lingzhu’s finger slid across her phone screen as she filtered through lawyer information.

In the end, she chose a female lawyer with the highest win rate.

Inside the largest law firm in X City.

Two lawyers looked at the information on the screen in the lobby and chatted as they returned to their workstations.

“Someone placed an order with her again.”

“I saw it too. She really is ruthless to herself. How much did she make on her last case?”

“Not sure. Probably this much.” The lawyer speaking held up five fingers.

“Goodness, she really earns quite a lot.”

The two returned to their workstations. Seeing Ji Jingrong nearby, they tacitly shut their mouths.

Ji Jingrong heard their conversation but ignored it, focusing seriously on communicating with her employer.

“Are you having an issue regarding a contract?” Her fingers typed on the keyboard as she calculated the remuneration for this job in her heart.

Yin Lingzhu had just sent over her request when she saw the reply, and could not help marveling at this person’s speed.

“Yes. I also have audio and video recordings. He admitted with his own mouth that my contract was altered,” Yin Lingzhu typed.

“All right. If you have specific video evidence, that will be very advantageous for you.”

“If you have time, we can meet in person to discuss the key information for this case.”

Yin Lingzhu looked at the contents of the chat box and thought for a moment.

Right now, she had to resolve the contract issue. She could not drag Yan Si down.

“Then let’s meet at your law firm in half an hour.”

It was eight in the morning now. If she moved quickly, maybe she could still have lunch with the Best Actress.

“All right.”

The law firm was in the center of X City, and Yin Lingzhu’s current apartment was also in X City.

In less than ten minutes, Yin Lingzhu arrived at Ji Jingrong’s law firm.

“Hello, I’m at the entrance of your law firm. Could you come down and pick me up?”

Yin Lingzhu looked at the building in front of her. It had twenty or thirty floors, and she did not think she could accurately find the office seat on her own.

The moment Ji Jingrong saw this message, she went out.

As soon as she came downstairs, she noticed Yin Lingzhu standing at the entrance. This person was far too eye-catching.

Yin Lingzhu’s eyes were half-curved, her clear black pupils unstained by even a speck of dust. Her lips naturally held a smile, forming a perfect curve, and her cheeks were fair with a hint of red, making her look alluring.

She stretched out a hand to indicate where she was. Her wrist was pale and slender, carrying a fragile sort of beauty.

Yin Lingzhu noticed her as well.

The person who came out wore a black suit, her hair simply tied into a ponytail. Her skin was wheat-colored, her gaze resolute, and her entire body gave off a decisive air.

“Hello, are you Lawyer Ji?” Yin Lingzhu took the initiative to walk toward her and ask.

“My surname is Ji. Are you Yin Lingzhu?”

“Yes, that’s me. Can we go upstairs and talk? It’s getting a little hot now.” Yin Lingzhu’s clothes were a bit thick.

No wonder her face was so red.

Thinking this, Ji Jingrong nodded at her. “Yes. Follow me.”

The two arrived at Ji Jingrong’s office. Yin Lingzhu took out the contract and devices she had brought with her and handed them to Ji Jingrong.

As Ji Jingrong read through the documents, time slowly passed.

“You have a very high chance of winning.” After listening to the recording, Ji Jingrong said this to Yin Lingzhu.

“Then do I only need to pay one million in penalty fees?” Yin Lingzhu was actually fairly confident about the chances Ji Jingrong mentioned.

“In fact, you don’t need to pay a single cent.” Ji Jingrong smiled slightly. “This contract has no meaning for you.”

“If you want, you can use the evidence in your hands to demand compensation from the management company.”

As Ji Jingrong spoke, a confident expression appeared on her face.

When it came to demanding money, she was truly an expert.

Yin Lingzhu had not expected this result. She had thought the best outcome would be paying one million, then suing the company for altering the contract.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Lawyer Ji.”

“As for the money the company compensates me with, I can split half of it with you.”

With Yin Lingzhu saying this, her interests and Ji Jingrong’s were tied together.

“No problem. I will definitely do my utmost to fight for the largest possible compensation for Miss Yin.”

Ji Jingrong’s gaze was firm, and her entire body revealed an air of certain victory.

A deal was settled.

“Lawyer Ji, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.” Yin Lingzhu glanced at her phone and saw it was already past eleven.

She still had to go home and wait for Yan Si.

The thought of seeing Yan Si at noon made Yin Lingzhu unable to hold back her happiness.

“Of course. Be careful on the road, Miss Yin.” After politely seeing her off, Ji Jingrong began searching through her books. She had to succeed with this case.

On the way home, Yin Lingzhu sent Yan Si a message, asking what she wanted to eat for lunch.

After waiting a while and seeing that Yan Si still had not replied, she walked around near home, familiarizing herself with the surroundings.

She called this apartment home.

After Yan Si finished filming, she picked up her phone and saw a text message. Her pale, scallion-white fingers tapped lightly, and she replied with a few words.

“I won’t be returning to the apartment at noon.”

But who knew what Yan Si thought of, because she sent another message.

“I’ll go back tonight.”

When Yin Lingzhu saw those two messages, especially the second one, she was so happy her tail was practically about to rise.

“Then what do you want to eat tonight? I can buy it for you.” Yin Lingzhu quickly sent the message over.

When Yan Si saw the word “buy,” she frowned slightly.

“Anything is fine.”

She sent those three words.

Yin Lingzhu’s gaze fixed on “anything is fine.” She did not know what she should do next.

After thinking for a while, Yin Lingzhu sent You Xiaoxiao a message, asking what Yan Si usually liked to eat.

You Xiaoxiao was a specially hired doctor at the hospital, and because her status was unusual, unless it was an extremely difficult case, people generally would not seek her out.

She was bored out of her mind tidying the consultation room when her phone rang. She picked it up and discovered a message from Yin Lingzhu.

“She doesn’t really have anything she loves eating. Just don’t make the flavors too heavy.”

After recalling for a while, You Xiaoxiao replied to Yin Lingzhu.

Tsk, tsk. Yesterday, she would rather die than marry her. Today, she was asking what Yan Si liked to eat. Yan Si’s charm was still as powerful as ever.

After thanking her, Yin Lingzhu began checking the restaurants nearby one by one.

Anything too far from home was out. Anything unhygienic was out. Anything with too strong a flavor was out.

After Yin Lingzhu’s careful screening, she selected three restaurants and preordered several dishes, planning to personally pick them up that evening.

All afternoon, Yin Lingzhu’s heart remained nervous and uneasy.

Amid Yin Lingzhu’s anticipation, night fell.

At eight o’clock, she sent Yan Si a message asking what time she would be back. The answer she got was sometime after nine.

Full of joy, she went downstairs and carried the dishes she had ordered back up to the apartment.

She took into consideration that Yan Si did not want other people to know about their relationship, so she did not let the staff come upstairs.

And because she was afraid that if she took too much food at once, she might accidentally spill it, Yin Lingzhu went downstairs, picked up the food, and came back up again, running back and forth five or six times before finally bringing all the food up.

She leaned against the window, trying to see the people below clearly from the twenty-third floor.

Click—

The door was opened from the outside.

Hearing the movement, Yin Lingzhu came to the living room. Seeing Yan Si return, she wanted to take the bag from her hand.

But Yan Si dodged away.

Yin Lingzhu’s hand paused in midair, then she withdrew it as if nothing had happened.

“What did you buy to eat today?” Yan Si hung her bag on the coat rack and asked Yin Lingzhu.

Yin Lingzhu quickly walked to the table and began listing the names of the dishes one by one.

Yan Si noticed that all of these dishes were light.

“I specifically asked Xiaoxiao,” Yin Lingzhu took the initiative to explain, understanding the confusion in Yan Si’s eyes.

“Mm. Let’s eat.” Yan Si spoke淡ly.

Seeing that she seemed unhappy, Yin Lingzhu asked carefully, “You don’t like it?”

“I like it. Let’s eat together.” Yan Si said this with her mouth, but her face remained cold.

“Oh.” Yin Lingzhu obediently sat down, not daring to raise her head, and picked up her chopsticks to eat only the dishes in front of her.

Because of this, she did not notice that although Yan Si’s chopsticks were moving, very little food was actually being placed into her mouth.

This meal felt like torment to Yin Lingzhu. She did not know where she had gone wrong.

When she saw Yan Si put down her chopsticks, she put down hers too.

“Are you full?” Yin Lingzhu asked.

Seeing Yan Si nod, she got up to clear the bowls and chopsticks, preparing to take them to the kitchen to wash.

“There’s a dishwasher in the kitchen.” Seeing that Yin Lingzhu was about to wash them by hand, Yan Si took the initiative to remind her.

Hearing Yan Si’s words, Yin Lingzhu looked around the kitchen and indeed found the machine.

She did not dare look at Yan Si and only lowered her head, placing the bowls and plates inside one by one.

After finishing everything, Yin Lingzhu saw that Yan Si was in the living room and could not help asking her question.

“You didn’t like today’s food?”

Yan Si was focused on reading the script and unconsciously spoke her true thoughts. “I like eating home-cooked food. I don’t like eating food that’s bought.”

Hearing that reason, Yin Lingzhu let out a breath of relief in her heart.

“Um, You Xiaoxiao said your heat is in the next few days.” After relaxing, Yin Lingzhu said what she had been thinking about all afternoon.

Hearing this, Yan Si put down the script in her hand. “What, you want to mark me?”

When Yin Lingzhu heard her say that, her face turned red again.

“It’s also written in the contract,” Yin Lingzhu said in a small voice.

Yin Lingzhu’s heart was extremely chaotic. She knew very clearly that Yan Si did not like her, but she truly liked Yan Si so much.

Yan Si was a few centimeters shorter than Yin Lingzhu. Even though Yin Lingzhu had lowered her face, Yan Si could still see the look in Yin Lingzhu’s eyes.

She noticed the conflict in her eyes, but Yan Si pretended not to notice anything.

“After you shower, come to my room.” Yan Si dropped this sentence, then leisurely returned to her own room.

When Yin Lingzhu heard those words, her mind exploded with a boom.

She patted her own face, trying to make herself sober up a little.

She walked into the bathroom with her arms and legs moving stiffly together. Unexpectedly, there was a set of sleepwear inside, a white, thin style.

She dawdled inside for half an hour before finally coming out. The white clothing covered everything that might stir the imagination.

Yin Lingzhu stood outside Yan Si’s bedroom door, pacing back and forth, not knowing how she should knock.

“Come in.”

When Yin Lingzhu heard this, her hand pushed open the door.

After Yin Lingzhu entered the room, Yan Si came in front of her. Her fingers slid over Yin Lingzhu’s collarbone, then her shoulder, before she walked into the bathroom.

Yin Lingzhu’s body went rigid as she felt the warmth of those fingertips. The places Yan Si had touched seemed to carry an electric current, and the tingling sensation spread to her limbs.

She understood the matter of marking now, and she also knew where the fragrance of roses came from.

After Yan Si finished showering and came out of the bathroom, she returned to the bedroom and directly turned off the light.

Seeing her turn off the light, the fear in Yin Lingzhu’s heart could not help creeping out.

“Can you turn on the light? I’m a little afraid of the dark,” Yin Lingzhu asked Yan Si in a trembling voice.

Yan Si was extremely familiar with the layout of the room. Borrowing the faint moonlight, she pushed Yin Lingzhu down onto the bed.

Hearing the Alpha say that, she stretched out an index finger and pressed it against her lips. “Shh. Don’t talk. I’m here.”

Yin Lingzhu was wrapped in Yan Si’s aura, the fragrance gradually eroding her mind.

Between waking and dreaming, she vaguely bit down on the place where the rose scent was strongest.
