The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 4
After taking great care to dress herself up beautifully, Tu Jiaojiao picked up her phone and called Tu Yueming.
“Sister, can you come back today?”
If they can’t come back, she’ll have to bring Xuanxuan along to the dinner. It was a rare chance to go out to eat with Ling Hanyan, and what was the point of bringing along a little third wheel…
However, the tone on the other end of the line was weary, which made Tu Jiaojiao’s heart ache.
“It’s a bit uncertain. Something happened on Sister Mi’s side, and I’m planning to go see her. What’s up, Jiaojiao? If you have something, you can just send Xuanxuan over.”
“It’s nothing, Sister, you guys focus on your work… I just wanted to ask if Xuanxuan can eat ice cream?”
“She can have a little, but don’t give it to her right before bed. Xuanxuan likes strawberry flavor.”
Hanging up the phone, Tu Jiaojiao let out a low sigh.
If her rabbit ears were visible right now, they would surely be drooping sadly. Bringing the little third wheel was set in stone.
Now, all she could do was comfort herself by thinking that at least she had managed to turn the little child, Tu Mixuan, into a little fan of Ling Hanyan beforehand.
When the two of them are at a loss for words, the child could at least liven up the atmosphere.
As expected, upon hearing that she could see Ling Hanyan at dinner tonight, Tu Mixuan happily hugged Tu Jiaojiao and shrieked for half a minute.
“Auntie, you’re the best!! I, I’m going to write a letter to Yan Yan right now to tell her how much I like her! When I grow up, I also want to become a gentle, strong, and beautiful woman like her!”
Tu Jiaojiao knew well that Xuanxuan was still immersed in her obsession with the character “Jiang Wuyao” and didn’t quite understand how good the real Ling Hanyan was.
But Tu Jiaojiao still felt a pang of jealousy.
Originally, she could have been a fan admiring Ling Hanyan across time and space, but after meeting her in person, her entire heart was dedicated to this woman.
She even wanted to monopolize her special gentleness…
This thought only appeared in her mind for a fleeting moment before Tu Jiaojiao ruthlessly suppressed it.
She couldn’t be that selfish.
Ling Hanyan was an actress active in the entertainment industry, and as she produced more and more excellent works, she would naturally attract more admirers.
The more people who liked Ling Hanyan, the more it proved how amazing Ling Hanyan was.
She naturally hoped that Ling Hanyan would do what she loved and bloom along the path she chose.
It was a good thing that it was better than an idol who sells dreams; a female actress dating wouldn’t affect her career too much.
Tu Jiaojiao… secretly wished to be in a relationship with Ling Hanyan.
Just thinking about this made her cheeks burn uncontrollably. She dove onto the soft big bed and covered her head with the quilt, trying to control the excitement surging within her.
“Auntie?” The bedroom door wasn’t closed, and Xuanxuan outside looked puzzled.
“Ah!” Tu Jiaojiao immediately sat up straight, pulled off the little rabbit hair tie on her wrist, and clutched it in her hand, feigning nonchalance, “So the hair tie was here! I finally found it!”
Fortunately, the auntie was just looking for a hair tie; otherwise, Tu Mixuan would really suspect her for burrowing under the covers in broad daylight due to feeling unwell.
Relieved, she walked over, clutching her iPad with her little chubby legs.
“Auntie, please check this voice-to-text input for any typos for me.”
On the screen was the private message page of Ling Hanyan’s Weibo. Tu Jiaojiao wondered how a child in mid-kindergarten managed to precisely find her account.
Tu Mixuan didn’t recognize many Chinese characters, but she loved chatting with the mothers online.
Sometimes when Tu Yueming couldn’t listen to voice messages, she taught Xuanxuan how to use the voice input method.
When sending messages to her mother normally, Tu Mixuan didn’t care about typos; she just kept talking and talking, and her mother would always understand what she meant.
But facing Ling Hanyan’s beautiful avatar on the screen, she felt a bit too shy to send any errors.
【Ling Hanyan hello hello! I am Tu Mixuan. Today Xuanxuan and Auntie watched Jiang Wuyao, the Jiang Wuyao you played was so beautiful! Xuanxuan said you are the main character, Auntie said you are not, the one in the white dress, Jiejie, is, but I don’t believe her, you are clearly more beautiful. Auntie said she will bring Xuanxuan to see you tonight, I am so happy, so happy I can eat an extra half bowl of rice…】
Tu Jiaojiao looked at this childish private message with a slight smile on her lips.
She carefully checked it and only corrected the misspelled characters, not correcting the child’s incorrect sentence structure.
After sending the private message, Tu Jiaojiao stealthily observed that Ling Hanyan had millions of fans.
There was no telling if this private message would even be seen by her.
However, she didn’t say anything to dampen Tu Mixuan’s confidence.
Instead, she opened Tu Mixuan’s luggage and helped her select what she thought was the prettiest little dress, tying Xuanxuan’s hair into a cute little bun at the back of her head with the rabbit hair tie from her wrist.
Yunshang Ju was a private club in Lingcheng.
It had strong privacy, stylish decoration, and excellent cuisine, so officials, the elite, and celebrities all loved to have meals there.
Unable to contain her excitement, Tu Jiaojiao brought Tu Mixuan there at 5:30 PM.
She stated Ling Hanyan’s name at the front desk, but the receptionist said there was no registration.
Her heart skipped a beat. Ling Hanyan set the time and place, but did she forget to make a reservation?
Could she be planning to stand them up?
Bitterness welled up in Tu Jiaojiao’s heart, but she shook her head, comforting herself that Ling Hanyan wasn’t that kind of person.
Maybe she didn’t make a reservation because she planned to queue up on-site when she arrived!
Yes, it must be that!
The receptionist with manicured nails flipped through the guest book and apologized apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss. All the slots for today are already filled. I can register you and make an advance reservation for you next time, okay?”
Tu Jiaojiao had never experienced such humiliation. She didn’t know Ling Hanyan’s contact information either, and she was so upset she wanted to curl up into a small fur ball.
Xuanxuan stood on a small stool, trying hard to look up, and said clearly to the receptionist, “Hello there, sister, is Tu Yueming’s private room still available?”
The receptionist was surprised, “Oh, you’re General Manager Tu’s relative! Of course, it’s available. I’m sorry, please proceed this way.”
After being seated in the private room, Tu Jiaojiao remembered something and said to the receptionist, “If a girl named Ling Hanyan comes later, please lead her over here.”
Seeing the look of little pride on Tu Mixuan’s face, the gloom in her heart seemed to be swept away.
Tu Jiaojiao reached out her slender white fingers and pinched her soft, tender cheek, “It’s a good thing I brought you, little thing; otherwise, Auntie wouldn’t have remembered to use your mother’s big name, and we wouldn’t have dinner today.”
Tu Yueming sometimes felt too lazy to return to the company and would discuss business with clients nearby at Yunshang Ju. It was likely she was on the VIP client list.
It was just that Tu Jiaojiao wasn’t accustomed to using her sister’s name and almost forgot about this benefit.
The older and younger one first ordered some appetizers to eat while waiting to see the beautiful lady at 6:00 PM before having the main course.
However, hope was dashed.
Ling Hanyan had a heavy filming schedule today and was extremely busy.
She only had time during lunch to take a few minutes to ask her assistant to look up Tu Jiaojiao’s contact information.
But Tu Jiaojiao wasn’t a household name, which meant the assistant searched everywhere and hadn’t completed the task yet…
