The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 26.1

Shoot, I shouldn’t have enchanted her. Now the effect of the pain has weakened.

Tu Jiaojiao was on the verge of tears and said to Ling Hanyan, “Yanyan, you hold the flowers, okay? I’ll go find another present.”

The latter nodded, though it was unclear if she had processed the words, her eyes still gazing deeply at Tu Jiaojiao.

Tu Jiaojiao tried to head to the restroom to practice her cultivation.

But she found she couldn’t, her legs were too weak from the ear rubbing just now, and she couldn’t stand up…

Forget it, Ling Hanyan’s mind isn’t clear right now. She can watch if she wants to…

Tu Jiaojiao, with a defeated attitude, returned to her seat, sat cross legged, gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and desperately tried to control her surging spiritual power.

She forcefully finished her cultivation under Ling Hanyan’s gaze, retracting her ears.

Ling Hanyan was still immersed in the mesmerized state. She waited quietly for a long time, but Tu Jiaojiao was still sitting there.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Jiaojiao, where is my present?”

Her voice was not its usual cool tone but had a childish persistence.

“Uh…” Tu Jiaojiao had only used it as an excuse to escape her embrace and cultivate; she had no present at all!

“I knew the naughty rabbit was deceiving me, and the ears are gone too.” Ling Hanyan dropped the roses, said something nonsensical, and came over to hug Tu Jiaojiao tightly again.

She ruffled Tu Jiaojiao’s hair, searching for the soft rabbit ears, and held hands with Tu Jiaojiao.

When this failed, her gaze fell upon the girl’s lips, which were as luscious as red cherries. Without thinking, she leaned in and bit them.

Tu Jiaojiao never imagined her first kiss with Yanyan would be like this!

This was too reckless! She couldn’t accept it!!

Unbeknownst to her, the cuts on her hands from the flower stems and Ling Hanyan’s blood mingled, feeling somewhat warm.

But Tu Jiaojiao didn’t notice; her entire being was about to explode!

The hasty cultivation she had just performed instantly reverted. Spiritual energy rushed wildly through her entire network of veins.

This time, not only were her rabbit ears about to pop out, but her tail couldn’t be contained either!! Her entire body was losing control!!

Ling Hanyan sensed the sweetness and wanted to go further.

Suddenly, her arms were empty. Tu Jiaojiao vanished right under her eyes, leaving behind only her clothes and a suspicious bulge.

After a moment, a snow-white rabbit, looking exactly like Marshmallow, burrowed out from underneath the dress and stared quietly at her.

Tu Jiaojiao was gone, and a huge wave of fear washed over Ling Hanyan’s mind.

Ignoring the rabbit, Ling Hanyan dazedly returned to the table and grabbed the bunch of roses.

Because she squeezed too hard, her knuckles were faintly white. Fortunately, Tu Jiaojiao had chosen soft thorns and tender stems, or her fingers might have been deeply injured.

This pain was more intense than all the previous ones combined. Ling Hanyan gasped, the haziness in her eyes vanished, and she slowly regained consciousness.

At that moment, Tu Jiaojiao’s blood had also inadvertently merged into her palm.

The exchange of blood was part of establishing the contract, allowing the two of them to share mutual thoughts and feelings.

She remembered something and quickly picked up the Angora rabbit, who was curled up on the ground, stiff with fright.

She held it in her arms and gently stroked it, comforting it: “Jiaojiao, I’m sorry, I, I don’t know what happened to me just now. I’m sorry, please don’t be afraid of me.”

Stiffness can be fatal for rabbits.

However, now that Ling Hanyan had awakened from the trance, she had returned to her original self.

Just hearing those words, Tu Jiaojiao was no longer afraid.

“Goo goo goo goo!” Yanyan, you’re annoying, annoying, annoying!

She took advantage of the fact that Ling Hanyan couldn’t understand rabbit language to express her inner frustration freely.

“Goo goo, goo goo goo goo, goo goo goo goo!” Why did you kiss me in that situation! Bad person, bad person, bad person! But why can’t I be angry with you? I like you so much…

However, Ling Hanyan completely understood…

She lowered her eyes, her emotions complex and drawn out. “I’m sorry, Jiaojiao. I, I think I like you too, but I’m not sure what kind of liking it is.”

“Goo goo goo! Goo?” What? You can understand me?

Tu Jiaojiao panicked. She had dared to speak the truth only because she thought Ling Hanyan couldn’t understand her!!

She was absolutely certain she was speaking rabbit language, not human words!!

Ling Hanyan spoke honestly: “Yes, it sounds like ‘goo goo goo,’ but I can understand the meaning.”

After speaking, she smiled, her eyes sparkling: “I misunderstood. I originally thought Marshmallow was my guardian rabbit, but it turns out you are, Jiaojiao.”

You ask what Tu Jiaojiao felt upon hearing this?

Sorry, Tu Jiaojiao was utterly mortified.

Sensing the little rabbit in her arms stiffening and gradually cooling down, Ling Hanyan’s heart tightened.

Ignoring the pain in her hand, she continued to comfort the Angora rabbit, not daring to speak, afraid of agitating her.

Thankfully, Tu Jiaojiao was a creature fond of comfort. Feeling very cozy on Ling Hanyan’s back, the stiffness in her body slowly resolved itself.

Her mind was a mess. She had so many questions for Ling Hanyan, but she didn’t know where to start.

After a moment, she spoke: “Yanyan, I can’t turn back into human form right now.”

This time, she didn’t use rabbit language for disguise but spoke directly in human words.

“Then, then what should we do?”

Tu Jiaojiao quietly rubbed her head against Ling Hanyan. While savoring her softness, she muttered gloomily, “Call my sister, ask her to come pick me up…”

There was no other way; this was the only option.

Ling Hanyan hastily tidied up the private room, concealing the mess that had been made.

She put Tu Jiaojiao’s dress and scattered undergarments into the flower box, held Tu Jiaojiao in her arms, and instructed: “Jiaojiao, don’t move. Pretend you’re a doll.”

Then, acting completely normal, she carried the flower box and the rabbit, paid the bill, and left.

There was a hole in the waist of her dress from the rose thorns. An ordinary person would definitely try to cover it up.

But Ling Hanyan checked the mirror and found that no inappropriate parts were showing.

So she walked onto the street without the slightest panic, wearing an expression that warned people to keep their distance. To others, it looked like a naturally stylish design.

Tu Jiaojiao hadn’t dared to say exactly what happened over the phone, but Tu Yueming (her sister) still sensed her panic.

She put down her work and rushed over. When she saw her sister helplessly held in Ling Hanyan’s single arm, her blood pressure nearly maxed out.

“Thank you for taking care of Jiaojiao,” she said with a dark expression, taking the white, fluffy ball into her arms and silently reciting: Don’t be angry, getting sick from anger won’t help.

However, Ling Hanyan completely missed her anger and handed over the flower box, whispering, “Her clothes are inside.”

“O-kay, thank you.”

Seeing that she looked like she wanted to say more, Tu Yueming, afraid of committing murder in public, used the excuse of needing to quickly check for a cause and left at light speed, holding her sister.

After Tu Jiaojiao was taken away by her sister, a sudden sense of emptiness and helplessness rose in Ling Hanyan’s heart.

She returned home and lay down on her bed without even changing her dress.

Contrary to Tu Jiaojiao’s assumption that the person involved would have complete amnesia, Ling Hanyan… remembered what happened while she was under the influence of the enchantment.

In fact, if she had been willing, she might have been able to exert herself and reclaim control of her body.

But for some reason, she let the “other self” take charge, allowing an unknown possessiveness to emerge.

To be precise, it couldn’t be called another self.

Because she could feel the texture of Tu Jiaojiao’s ears and the sweetness on her lips.

She often wondered if, without the experience of having nightmares and crying as a child, only to be dismissed by others.

Would her personality be a little more outgoing, and would she express herself more subtly?

But now Ling Hanyan knew the answer was no. Giving free rein to her desires would only lead to a lose-lose situation.

Although she told Tu Jiaojiao that she couldn’t be sure what kind of liking it was.

Ling Hanyan was clear in her heart: their friendship had changed in nature after that tentative kiss.

The thoughts in her mind at the time were consistent with her loss of control it’s not enough, I want more, I want her to be marked with my scent.

It was true; she had no reason not to like a candid and lovable girl like Tu Jiaojiao.

Her sister seemed to resent her, but that was understandable. She had put Tu Jiaojiao in an unsafe situation, which was very wrong.

Tu Jiaojiao’s affection was too pure and too passionate; she needed to figure out how to respond to her.

Moreover, she was her guardian rabbit, who had protected her in her dreams for such a long time.

Now that she knew, it was time for her to protect her in return.

When ordinary people face parental obstruction in a relationship, they try everything to contact the other person.

But Ling Hanyan’s thought process was unconventional. She believed she couldn’t help with Tu Jiaojiao turning into a rabbit.

Instead of doing something useless and increasing her sister’s aversion.

She would rather work hard and improve her professional standing.

As for whether Tu Jiaojiao would transfer her affection, she hadn’t given that a thought.

Their relationship wasn’t set yet. Even if Tu Jiaojiao liked someone else, there was nothing she could do.

She wouldn’t interfere and truly wouldn’t know how to interfere.

The filming of Empress Heling’s Biography was nearing its end. Her agent, Sister Mao, asked for Ling Hanyan’s opinion and was very happy to learn she wanted to take advantage of this momentum to rise further.

Sister Mao spared no effort to secure resources for her.

They were 100% certain that this movie would be a hit, so they were very cautious in selecting new scripts.

However, the production companies didn’t know yet that she would be popular even as the female lead, so most of the offers they sent her were for beautiful supporting roles, like the one played by Jiang Wuyao.

Not to mention Ling Hanyan herself was tired of playing the female second.

Sister Mao also clearly stated, “Yanyan, I don’t think these scripts are quite suitable. Let’s wait a bit longer. Here are a few variety shows that are quite interesting if you’re interested, you can take one on.”

The first was the widely anticipated Traveling with Pets, but the next episode was scheduled to be a rainforest special featuring exotic pets. It would inevitably involve insects, snakes, lizards, and small poisonous frogs, causing several high-profile celebrities to refuse it.

Sister Mao felt it wasn’t safe and didn’t really want Ling Hanyan to go.

However, the compensation offered was very high, and they promised that if Ling Hanyan agreed, she could be the main guest for that episode.

The second was also pet related, Dirty Cat Observation Diary, a show that advocated for the adoption of stray animals. This was its first season and leaned toward public welfare, offering very low compensation.

Theoretically, any production company with common sense wouldn’t invite a popular movie star like Ling Hanyan, because of the high price the compensation they offered had no advantage!

But they were likely casting a wide net, hoping to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive what if the big star genuinely loved animals and was willing to do charity work?!

Sister Mao was a bit skeptical, but Ling Hanyan herself was very interested.

The third was the recently popular reality show Didn’t Bring Money Out Today, a type of program audiences loved, where celebrities were dropped among the general public and had to struggle to survive.

Ling Hanyan had participated in this type of program a long, long time ago. However, due to her solitary nature and sharp tongue, she was edited into a villainous character, and her haters still use that material to curse her.

Although her current personality was not as sharp as when she was younger, her words could still occasionally hurt people, so she might repeat the previous experience if she went.

However, people just love watching this type of variety show! Therefore, Sister Mao still brought the script to Ling Hanyan.

Besides these, there were some ordinary variety shows and programs that Sister Mao dismissed herself.

As an agent, she highly respected her artist’s choices, so she let Ling Hanyan choose from these three.

Ling Hanyan asked her, “Sister Mao, which of these three programs will air first?”

“That would definitely be Didn’t Bring Money Out Today. They’ve confirmed the cast and filming starts next month. Traveling with Pets is considering changing the concept because they can’t find people. Dirty Cat’s funding isn’t in place, so they might switch to filming with ordinary people later. Actually, not purely ordinary people; they might invite some internet celebrities or YouTubers.” Sister Mao was very knowledgeable about this.

“Then I’ll go for Didn’t Bring Money Out Today,” Ling Hanyan pondered briefly before making her decision.

Although it wasn’t appropriate to see Tu Jiaojiao directly right now, it didn’t stop her from appearing on TV for Tu Jiaojiao to watch!

As long as she watches me more, she definitely won’t think about switching loyalties!

“Are you sure?” Sister Mao was still hesitant. Ling Hanyan had a high chance of being scolded if she went on this kind of polarizing variety show.

“I’m sure.” The priority was to maintain her presence in front of Tu Jiaojiao everything else was a minor detail.

“Don’t rush, I’ll go and ask around again,” Sister Mao still didn’t want her artist to be scolded.

In the blink of an eye, the day for signing the contract arrived, but the one who showed up was Dirty Cat Observation Diary.
