The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 17

You can always trust Bai Wanyue!

The little rabbit that Tu Jiaojiao almost ran her legs off looking for was delivered to her home less than two days later.

It also came with a whole set of facilities needed for raising a rabbit; the bunny could move in immediately!

This Angora rabbit looked ninety percent similar to Tu Jiaojiao, only a bit more lively.

As soon as it saw Tu Jiaojiao, it looked around in the cage as if it had seen its own mother. Once released, it kicked its hind legs and hopped over to her side, rubbing against her furiously.

It is said that female rabbits have dreamy eyes, and this little rabbit looked at others with wet, loving affection.

Tu Jiaojiao happily accepted it, but didn’t dare to name it “Little Moon” for fear of provoking Sister Mi’s wrath. Instead, she christened it “Marshmallow.”

Perhaps because she, her sister, and Xuanxuan all have the Moon Rabbit bloodline in their bodies, Marshmallow is 100% docile and fawning towards the three of them.

It does exactly what they point to, even obediently eating the dry grass it usually doesn’t like.

But when left alone with Milnoca, it becomes mischievous, either gnawing on her trousers or peeing everywhere.

However, Sister Mi is also a secret rabbit lover, and whenever Marshmallow throws a tantrum, she grabs it and cuddles it fiercely.

In time, a subtle balance formed in the household.

Although Tu Jiaojiao has achieved some success in her cultivation now, she cannot let down her guard in everything because her innate skill has not yet awakened.

If stimulated, she might fail to transform and instantly turn back into a rabbit.

Whenever this happens, she has to lie on the bed and circulate the spiritual power in her body to continue cultivating.

This is Marshmallow’s favorite part. As soon as Tu Jiaojiao begins to cultivate, it obediently nests beside her like a hen hatching an egg, staring intently without blinking.

She wonders if it’s actually learning anything.

Tu Jiaojiao hopes that her rabbit can also break through the limits, even though her sister said the probability is low.

Despite this, she still explains and cultivates every time, clearly stating why she uses this posture and why she recites this mantra.

If Marshmallow could think, following this tutorial, it would surely find the knack for cultivation.

The Calm After the Storm

Over at the set of The Story of Queen Heling, the turmoil unexpectedly subsided before her sister even had to intervene.

It turned out that one morning, Chen Jinru woke up from a night of bliss and found his phone was locked. He initially thought it was a system update and went to wash up without giving it much thought.

A few minutes later, the screen lit up by itself, glowing with a soft white light.

All the chat records of his dirty deeds over the years, as well as the completely deleted data and photos, were dug up and played back like a slideshow.

Suddenly, the display stopped on certain keywords that constituted criminal offenses.

Records of everything from his early days of marrying into the family and becoming a live in son-in-law, consuming an entire estate to seize ill-gotten gains, to his later tax evasion and the records of forcing bottom-tier workers to death were all nakedly revealed.

The sound of screenshots being taken ‘click-click’ occasionally rang out.

After a moment, all traces gradually faded, and only a string of green text appeared: Saving complete.

Sister Xuan looked at the documents on the screen and clicked her tongue in wonder.

She had thought Chen Jinru was just a rich, lecherous man, but pulling back the curtain revealed that he had done so many outrageous things.

On the surface, he was a self-made wealthy man who generously invested to support the film industry, but secretly, it was all to launder black money.

Perhaps his proposal to withdraw his investment wasn’t entirely because he was smitten with Lin Yingxue. It was more likely that he discovered The Story of Queen Heling was a legitimate film and Li Shang was a serious director.

Therefore, fearing that his dark side would be exposed during an audit after the film was released, he was eager to find an excuse to escape.

A smile blossomed on her lips. It was time to make a contribution and help the country remove a pest.

She checked the information, packaged it all up, and submitted it to the relevant authorities.

The people above acted swiftly and decisively. Within a few days, Chen Jinru was incarcerated, all his assets were frozen, and The Story of Queen Heling naturally had nothing to do with him anymore.

After evaluation by the authorities, the film was deemed to have great potential, so the investment was not withdrawn. Instead, the state took a stake in it under the name of the country.

Apart from the occasional public servant visiting to record the shooting progress, the production team found the filming environment much more relaxed.

On one hand, with the country’s backing, the occasional necessary social engagements disappeared completely.

On the other hand, the person sent by the authorities was fully informed and was so confident in the film that he even offered to apply for more funding if needed.

He told Li Shang to go all out and make The Story of Queen Heling a work of art.

With that green light, Director Li happily dragged the screenwriter off to polish the script, and in the process, gave the actors a week long break.

A Good Deed

Ling Hanyan was not idle during this time. In a good mood, she told Tu Jiaojiao that she would be attending a charity gala.

It was organized by a foundation dedicated to caring for stray animals.

They would use the money raised to build homes for stray animals, providing feeding, check-ups, spaying/neutering, and adoption services.

This not only benefits animals but also effectively reduces incidents like vicious dog attacks and stray cats disturbing the peace during mating season, which is beneficial to humans as well.

Although Ling Hanyan’s personality is generally reserved, she shows a lot of love and patience towards animals, especially rabbits.

Therefore, even though she was very tired and fatigued, when her manager, Sister Mao, brought up a charity gala happening soon, she immediately decided to attend.

Tu Jiaojiao was concerned for Ling Hanyan and asked why she wasn’t resting during her well-deserved vacation.

Ling Hanyan’s eyes sparkled: “So that little animals wandering the streets can get through this winter.”

Tu Jiaojiao was thoughtful, made a note of the charity gala’s name, and quickly contacted Bai Wanyue.

Sure enough, the Tu Corporation also received an invitation. In the past, this would have been handled by a junior executive, but this time Tu Jiaojiao wanted to go in person.

She wanted to give Ling Hanyan a surprise, so she didn’t tell her that she would be attending.

However, she asked the public relations staff for a favor to move her seat closer to Ling Hanyan’s.

Celebrities and corporations are not seated in the same section, so even with the adjustment, the seats weren’t extremely close, but they were near enough for Ling Hanyan to spot her out of the corner of her eye when looking around.

The Gala

On the night of the gala, the whole venue was as bright as day under the glare of the spotlights. The red carpet was crowded with stars, and the handsome men and beautiful women presented a visual feast for everyone.

Because she was representing the corporation, Tu Jiaojiao specifically wore a sharp, smoky-grey business suit, with her hair pulled up high, revealing her slender, fair neck.

Her makeup was also a sleek, mature style. Without expression, she looked ten out of ten like her sister, her aura completely different from her usual soft sweetness.

Only the white diamond earrings, carved into rabbit ears and hidden by the wisps of hair falling over her cheek, informed people how adorable the wearer was.

The people sitting nearby knew each other, chatting in low voices and occasionally letting out quiet laughs.

But Tu Jiaojiao was attending for the first time and wasn’t familiar with any of them. She sat stiffly on the edge.

She had a fleeting thought that she was like the ‘Wife Gazing Stone’ swaying gently on the cliff edge, craning her neck and eagerly awaiting the appearance of the woman who had been carved into her heart.

She was suddenly amused by her own thought. Yanyan and she were still just friends, and she had already mistakenly substituted herself into the role of her wife…

It was a very shy and nervous thing for a rabbit to think.

“Is this your first time?” A gentle female voice sounded beside her. Tu Jiaojiao turned her head to look.

Long, wavy hair and a red dress that accentuated her figure. The person who just sat down next to her was a stunning beauty whose looks were comparable to a celebrity, making one wonder if she was in the wrong section.

Tu Jiaojiao was most afraid of this kind of aggressively beautiful person who spoke to her like licking honey off a knife’s edge. Her mind instantly went numb. She muttered an ‘Mm’ and subtly scooted back a little.

“Hahaha, Big Sister won’t eat you,” the beauty shot her a look that could steal a person’s soul, but Tu Jiaojiao didn’t appreciate it at all. Instead, she was frightened into a state of rigidity.

Rabbits become like this when startled, and it occasionally happened to her.

“Don’t you remember me? I’m Mu Si,” the beautiful woman introduced herself. “Tu Yueming’s junior high classmate.”

Hearing her sister’s name, Tu Jiaojiao’s rigid state slightly eased, and she politely greeted her, “Hello, Sister Mu.”

Mu Si asked, “How is she doing lately? Is she still with that Spaniard?”

“Sister Mi is a Chinese national,” Tu Jiaojiao struggled to counter.

“So she’s still with her. Boring,” Mu Si unexpectedly whined childishly. Her eyes turned toward the red carpet, and her mood suddenly became excited: “Oh, Ling Hanyan is here! Did you watch Rivers and Lakes Have No Cure where she starred? She’s so beautiful!”

There was no response for a long time. Mu Si looked down.

The little one pretending to be an adult had completely lost all her previous shyness and timidity, looking at the stage even more eagerly than she was.

It seemed she was just like her sister. Both Tu sisters were little gay girls.

Tu Jiaojiao was completely oblivious to what the strange woman beside her was doing.

Tu Jiaojiao looked at Ling Hanyan dressed in a light silver gauze dress, revealing half of her slender, fair calves, stepping in diamond studded stiletto heels, looking ethereal and moving like a fairy descending to the mortal world and screamed madly in her mind.

Aah aah aah aah!! Yanyan is so beautiful! So beautiful!

Beautiful to the point of suffocation! Beautiful to the point where this rabbit couldn’t breathe!

In their previous two meetings, she was either wearing complex Empress costumes or was bare-faced like the girl next door. She had never been so exquisite and so captivating!

When other girls dressed up to the nines, Tu Jiaojiao would feel intimidated, sensing aggression and not daring to speak.

But when Yanyan dressed up, she felt as if her ‘G-spot’ had been poked, thinking, My Yanyan is truly the most gentle and most beautiful little fairy in the world!

Not only was she not afraid, but she also wanted to pick her up and sprint a hundred meters with her.

She wanted to hide such a beautiful Yanyan and not let anyone else see!

The spotlights on the red carpet were much brighter than elsewhere, and photographers were continuously pressing the shutter, making it impossible to see the audience clearly.

Ling Hanyan straightened her slender, delicate waist, a captivating faint smile on her face, greeting everyone as she walked inside.

As her gaze swept over a certain spot, she felt a slight doubt.

Why was there a professional woman sitting there who looked eight parts like the little rabbit? Could it be the sister she kept mentioning?!

Since I’m already here, maybe I should take some time to say hello to the little rabbit’s sister after the gala ends?
