The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 32

“Jiaojiao, the contract has been drafted, but something seems off. Hurry up and check it out.”

As soon as they returned home, Tu Yueming said this.

However, in front of her, instead of the usual black text on white paper contract, there was only a red wooden box carved with a pair of moon rabbits.

The box was already open, and inside lay quietly a white pink, jade-like, smooth and unadorned peace and safety pendant (Ping’an wushi pai).

This was what the Moon Rabbit clan called a contract.

In the past, after preparing the materials, the wooden box would be closed, and the Moon Rabbit parent would infuse spiritual power, carrying their love and concern for their child, to condense the contract’s prototype.

Then, after both parties offered a drop of their round, clear, red heart’s blood, they would gradually nurture it, step by step linking the fate of the Moon Rabbit with their destined person.

However, their Moon Rabbit father was no longer around, so Tu Yueming had to do it on his behalf.

It was the first time she had done such a thing, and she was very nervous. She diligently read the relevant ancient texts many times and strictly followed the recorded steps.

After opening the box, she was dumbfounded why was this contract so big! Unbelievably large!

Hers and Minuoka’s was like a small stamp, tiny, and after being well-nurtured, it became a lovely light red pendant worn around Minuoka’s neck.

But the one she refined for Tu Jiaojiao was like a packet of tissues, and figuring out how to carry it around would be a problem; its size was ridiculous.

“So beautiful!” Tu Jiaojiao didn’t know all those rules; she just found every part of this contract jade incredibly adorable.

Under her sister’s guidance, she slowly infused spiritual power into it. Immediately, a warm aura was returned from the jade, instantly enveloping her.

It was the right one her and Ling Hanyan’s contract jade!

“What’s wrong with it, Sister?” She blinked and turned her head to ask.

Tu Yueming explained her concern about its excessive size.

She muttered, “The book says the deeper the bond between the two people, the larger the contract jade. But you two only just met, and have only seen each other a few times.”

Purely based on the bond, her sister’s bond with her sweetheart definitely couldn’t be deeper than hers with Minuoka, with whom she had spent a year together, day and night, before deciding to bond.

When she was young and competitive, she secretly compared hers with a distant relative from the Mu clan; theirs was the largest contract jade she had ever seen.

If her sister’s bond with Ling Hanyan was even deeper than theirs, she would be delighted. Using their perfect marriage as a reference, her sister would surely be very, very happy in the future.

Tu Yueming was mainly afraid that she had made an operational mistake and the resulting contract jade was flawed.

“Hmm… I don’t know what’s going on, but it feels like this is the one, for sure…”

Gazing at her sister’s unconcealed concern, Tu Jiaojiao answered somewhat guiltily.

But she knew clearly in her heart that her bond with Ling Hanyan must be deeper than her sister’s with Minuoka.

After all, she had traveled from an alternate timeline and transmigrated into a new world for Ling Hanyan…

A bond spanning two lifetimes is definitely deeper than one lifetime.

However, she didn’t have the courage to tell her sister about this. Although she and the “Tu Jiaojiao” of this world had completely merged and were essentially the same person, given her sister’s personality, she would definitely worry and panic over the uncertain factors again.

Furthermore, after the spiritual power had just seeped into the contract jade, she even felt that, in the unseen world, her relationship with Ling Hanyan before her transmigration was not just her one-sided, fan-like adoration; there were some overlooked aspects that hadn’t fully begun!

“I’m relieved if it’s the right one.” Tu Yueming patted her chest, calming down, and handed the contract jade in its box to Tu Jiaojiao.

Finally, she was in the mood to joke, “Sister used you for practice first. When Tu Mixuan gets older, I’ll refine one for her.”

“Hahaha, okay, refine one even bigger than mine then.”

After hearing Tu Jiaojiao’s praise, Tu Yueming felt very pleased, but still couldn’t help but sigh.

It was already a headache figuring out how to carry one this big; if it were any larger, would it have to be made into a phone?

“Alright, the contract jade you’ve been eagerly waiting for is ready. Don’t rush to be happy yet.

Once a Moon Rabbit’s contract jade is unveiled and revealed, the contract’s efficacy will decrease level by level.

You need to hurry and find Ling Hanyan, aiming to finalize the contract within one week. It might not be good if you exceed that time.”

According to the family records, all ancestors were already deeply in love with their partners before refining the contract jade, and no one had ever run out of time.

However, she was worried that her sister was too soft spoken and might hide the jade, hesitant to seek out Ling Hanyan, which is why she gave the reminder.

Sure enough, Tu Jiaojiao’s good mood instantly plummeted.

She, she hadn’t figured out how to talk to Yanyan about it! They were only at the stage of knowing where her home was; wouldn’t it be too abrupt to directly “get married”?

“It’s fine, if you can’t do it, invite her out, and I’ll talk to her. I’ll just tell her: ‘I’ll give you a hundred million to be with my sister.’ If a hundred million isn’t enough, then two hundred million. We’ll flood her with money and resources, and see if she’s tempted.”

“No, that’s too scary! It makes me look like unsold milk that no one wants…”

Tu Jiaojiao initially thought her sister was joking, but the expression on her face was too serious, forcing her to stop the expectant Tu Yueming.

“Sister, please don’t interfere. I..I’ll figure out a way!”

No matter what, Yanyan definitely loved her rabbit form; otherwise, she wouldn’t always be thinking about petting the bunny.

And since she had spent more time as a rabbit in both her lives combined, she was better at gauging when a rabbit was cuter, so she dared to give it a try.

Returning to the bedroom, Tu Jiaojiao thought for a moment, transformed into her rabbit form, turned on the camera, and began filming herself.

In excitement, she sent a video of herself “striking poses” to Ling Hanyan, hoping to ignite her desire to pet the bunny!

However, after the press conference, two variety shows immediately began filming, making it difficult to get Ling Hanyan to meet up.

Tu Jiaojiao constantly hinted, asking if Yanyan was busy today, and occasionally trying to entice her in her rabbit form.

Yet, even though the person on the other end was also looking forward to it, she truly couldn’t spare the time.

The answers she received were always that she was deworming stray cats today, or working for money in a non-celebrity’s store tomorrow, with no free time.

Tu Jiaojiao clutched the contract jade, her heart burning with anxiety.

But she still habitually prioritized Ling Hanyan and didn’t want to disrupt Yanyan’s work.

Thus, she could only wait silently, even preparing for the possibility that they would only be able to sign the contract after its efficacy had decreased.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better. On the evening of the seventh day after the contract jade’s unveiling the very last day.

Ling Hanyan proactively asked her, “Jiaojiao, can we meet today? Come to my place.”

A massive wave of joy overflowed in her heart, and Tu Jiaojiao went with full anticipation.

However, upon entering the room again, there was an unfamiliar animal scent, a scent that soured the rabbit’s mood.

A tiny kitten was circling Ling Hanyan’s legs.

Calling it a kitten wasn’t quite right, as it had already been weaned and its body was stretching out.

The entire cat was thin and long, looking a bit ugly, in its true “awkward stage.”

Getting closer, Tu Jiaojiao noticed the cat was entirely white with a patch of gray fur on its head.

It seemed very afraid of strangers and unfamiliar sounds. Seeing her enter the door, it quickly retreated to Ling Hanyan’s feet, peering out from behind her.

Tu Jiaojiao felt a little upset that was a spot even she hadn’t rested in yet!

“Jiaojiao, help me see what Xiaobai likes to eat and what it doesn’t.”

That’s right, this was the little stray cat Ling Hanyan had adopted from the set of the Dirty Cat program.

It looked clean now because Ling Hanyan had taken it to be bathed, dewormed, and treated for ear mites a few days ago.

Although she didn’t know the status of its siblings, Ling Hanyan focused on the present, caring for it with the intention of adding a small pet to her home.

Xiaobai had recently established some trust with her, but its stomach was still not very good, and it ate very little.

Thinking that Tu Jiaojiao had the ability to talk to animals, she applied to the crew to turn off the camera and sought outside help.

Since celebrities also have their privacy, agreeing to keep a stray cat in her home was already very benevolent.

And although Ling Hanyan didn’t outwardly express excessive fondness for cats, the details showed how dedicated she was to this little ugly cat.

So, the crew had just rewarded her with a “Camera Off” card yesterday, and Ling Hanyan, thinking of protecting Tu Jiaojiao’s privacy, used it right away.

“Okay.” Tu Jiaojiao suppressed the urge to immediately sign the contract with Ling Hanyan, took out some snacks, and crouched down to show goodwill toward the cat.

The little cat looked genuinely scared. It clung to Ling Hanyan, afraid to leave. It waited for a long time, observing Tu Jiaojiao for a good while before daring to take a step forward.

The cat ate a few bites, then stopped again, returning to its previous state. Although its eyes showed longing, for some reason, it refused to eat.

Tu Jiaojiao quietly focused her mind and used the Beast Heart Communication ability.

“The chicken jerky is delicious, but I don’t know if my little sister can eat it… I should save some for her…”

“I hope little sister is safe and finds her way here soon. This owner is very kind and should keep her too… If the owner doesn’t want little sister, then I’ll leave with her, and I’ll take this food with me then…”

The kitten’s innocent thoughts made Tu Jiaojiao’s heart tremble. Was that what was happening…

She understood the premise of the Dirty Cat project to use the heartbreaking “wealth disparity” and “adoption versus non-adoption” of cats to provoke deep thought about stray animals.

It turned out that, in the animals’ hearts, there was this other layer of concern.

Her sister, when taking care of her, probably felt the same way.

Tu Jiaojiao’s eyes reddened slightly. She said to Ling Hanyan, “Xiaobai misses its little sister. It wants to save the food for her.”

She recounted Xiaobai’s thoughts, which made Ling Hanyan frown as well.

But reality was cruel. Humans needed the warnings brought by such huge disparities. If the Dirty Cat program succeeded, Xiaobai and its sister would be cornerstones on the path of reform.

“Tell her that her sister will be fine,” Ling Hanyan lowered her eyes. She hadn’t asked about the other kitten’s situation before, but now she wanted to talk to the production team.

Tu Jiaojiao hummed, sounding tearful, and patiently told Xiaobai that its sister would be okay and that it should eat properly first.

When its sister found her way home, they would prepare other food for her.

Xiaobai heard a human voice for the first time, which scared it back into hiding behind Ling Hanyan’s pants. However, after understanding Tu Jiaojiao’s words, it softly meowed a few times and finally started eating properly.

Seeing how ravenously it ate, it was clear that it had been severely restraining its appetite to save food for its sister.

After Xiaobai’s belly was round, Ling Hanyan prepared some warmed goat milk powder for her.

In her eyes, a kitten needed to drink milk. Xiaobai hadn’t reached adulthood yet, so it was a kitten.

The two of them cared for Xiaobai together. Because Tu Jiaojiao could communicate with Xiaobai, they even tried to discuss with it which of the various snacks and cat foods Ling Hanyan bought it liked and disliked.

However, Xiaobai was too well-behaved and sensible.

It was afraid that if it said it didn’t like something, the food it had so painstakingly acquired would be thrown away. It chewed every type of snack several times, making it impossible for Tu Jiaojiao to figure out what it liked or disliked.

By the time the cat was settled, it was already late.

The production team called Ling Hanyan to inform her that the camera was about to be turned back on. Only then did Tu Jiaojiao realize that she had been busy looking after the little pitiful cat and had completely forgotten her own matter.

Today was the last chance! If she missed it, it would be gone!

Although she had prepared herself, the thought of her bond with Ling Hanyan being potentially deeper but losing the chance to get closer because of her procrastination made her heart ache.

Ling Hanyan noticed the girl’s sudden wave of sadness and became anxious.

She thought the girl was reluctant to leave and quickly tried to comfort her, “It’s okay, Jiaojiao, I told the crew to delay turning on the installed camera by an hour, so we can stay a little longer.”

“No, that’s not… the reason…” Tu Jiaojiao said with a distressed face, pulling out the small wooden box containing their future from her bag.
