The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 48

“Jiaojiao, you finally came to visit Sister Yan! I thought you two had a falling out, but it’s great that you’ve made up!”

While Tu Jiaojiao tilted her head in confusion, Xiao Liang clasped her hands over her chest, displaying the relieved expression of an elderly mother.

Tu Jiaojiao shook her head, looking at Xiao Liang with watery eyes, and said softly, “We didn’t quarrel. I was a bit busy a while ago, so I didn’t contact her.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Xiao Liang nodded and happily walked beside Tu Jiaojiao.

She muttered to herself with emotion, “Sister Yan has a very cold personality and is very reserved when making friends. Even as her assistant for so many years, I haven’t been able to truly get close to her. It’s truly wonderful that Sister Yan could meet you in this lifetime.”

These words sounded a little strange. Did Ling Hanyan mention their current intimate relationship to Xiao Liang?

Tu Jiaojiao was happy for only two seconds when she heard Xiao Liang sigh again, “It’s actually because Sister Yan is too reserved, and sometimes what she says is genuinely irritating. That’s why only an ultimate sweet girl like Jiaojiao can accept her personality and become good friends with her. I just can’t help but retort to her.”

“She’s very nice!” Ling Hanyan’s number one little fan immediately stepped forward to defend her. Because she was so earnest, her nose was slightly red, making her look incredibly adorable.

Xiao Liang burst into laughter, amused by the sight.

The two chatted as they headed towards the set, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

As they approached, Xiao Liang looked eagerly at Tu Jiaojiao, pleading, “Jiaojiao, you’re not busy recently, right? Could you come and visit Sister Yan more often when you’re free? I’m begging you! The crew of Over Breathing has far more men than women, I barely have anyone to talk to, and I’ve been so bored every day.”

“I’ll be coming every day,” Tu Jiaojiao blinked. From the conversation just now, she knew that Yan Yan hadn’t told Xiao Liang about hiring her as a private makeup artist yet.

She grinned, her eyes curving, and said, “I’ll tell you a secret, but don’t tell Sister Mao.”

“Yes, yes.” Xiao Liang leaned closer, making an attentive gesture.

Tu Jiaojiao was very cooperative and whispered in her ear, “I’m Yan Yan’s private makeup artist now.”

As expected, Xiao Liang looked like she had seen a ghost, completely frozen in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, she stammered, “Th-then, you certainly have to come every day… But you… weren’t you a fan originally? Fans can’t… can’t be makeup artists…”

“Exactly, so please don’t tell Sister Mao!” Tu Jiaojiao bowed seriously to Xiao Liang.

The latter exclaimed that she couldn’t accept such a huge gesture, and the two began to playfully scuffle.

At this moment, a clear female voice appeared, carrying a trace of imperceptible anger: “What are you two doing?”

“I’m begging Xiao Liang not to tell Sister Mao that I’m your fan,” Tu Jiaojiao said happily, telling the truth.

Ling Hanyan twitched her mouth and pulled her behind her, “We’ve already met with Sister Mao, so it’s useless even if Xiao Liang talks too much.”

Xiao Liang’s good mood was immediately ruined by Ling Hanyan again, but since her boss had spoken, she genuinely dared not show her anger.

Where Ling Hanyan couldn’t see, she made a face at Tu Jiaojiao, making Tu Jiaojiao laugh uncontrollably.

“You came just in time. Help me touch up my makeup.” After not seeing her for half a day, Ling Hanyan missed the scent of her little rabbit.

Moreover, every time she saw Tu Jiaojiao being intimate with someone else, she felt inexplicably displeased.

However, with so many people around, the roadside was definitely not a good place for a hug, so she pulled Tu Jiaojiao and walked straight towards the makeup room.

Tu Jiaojiao stumbled as she was pulled, remembering that Xiao Liang was still left on the side.

Her ears red, she softly mumbled, “Okay, but wait a moment.”

She stopped, took a box of bunny ear cookies from her handbag, and handed it to Xiao Liang: “I heard Yan Yan say you like these before, so I baked some extra.”

“Yay!” Xiao Liang didn’t feel much about the change in her colleague’s position; she was just happy that she would get to see the pretty girl Tu Jiaojiao every day from now on.

Getting the cookies was a pleasant surprise.

She recalled the last time Ling Hanyan mocked her for being fat and wouldn’t let her eat cookies.

She quickly took the cookie box and ran to the side, even glancing proudly at Ling Hanyan.

Ling Hanyan found Xiao Liang’s childish actions ridiculous. What was the use of getting a box of cookies? She had gotten the person who baked the cookies.

She leaned over and asked in Tu Jiaojiao’s ear, “Is there anything else?”

A hot, itchy feeling, like ants crawling, went through her ear. Tu Jiaojiao shrunk her neck, shook her head, and said softly, “No, no, let’s go touch up your makeup.”

The total number of female roles in the entire movie Over-Breathing could be counted on one hand. The makeup room was divided by gender, except for the two male leads.

It wasn’t time for the other supporting female characters to appear yet, so Ling Hanyan was the only one using the spacious makeup room.

After entering, Ling Hanyan turned around and locked the door of the makeup room.

It was Tu Jiaojiao’s first time entering a crew’s makeup room, and she found it a bit more cramped than she had imagined.

Under the bright, daylight like lights, various hair accessories and earrings were piled up, looking a bit messy but within an acceptable range.

She craned her neck to examine the makeup products prepared by the crew, considering what to use to touch up Yan Yan’s makeup.

Ling Hanyan was long accustomed to this environment. She quickly cleared a small area.

She turned and sat on the table, pulling Tu Jiaojiao close.

She faced and embraced her rabbit, burying her nose in the curve of her neck, secretly inhaling the scent of the little rabbit.

Today, Tu Jiaojiao had applied the peach-scented perfume Ling Hanyan had given her before.

But now, Ling Hanyan felt the scent wasn’t pleasant. It diluted the rabbit’s original natural fragrance, making it seem unnecessary.

“That tickles,” Tu Jiaojiao said, but she made no move to evade, clearly also enjoying the pleasure of being intimate with Ling Hanyan.

To avoid suspicion, she didn’t leave the house with Ling Hanyan today.

After only half a day apart, the two, who were used to eating and sleeping together, couldn’t bear it.

They wished they could stick close to each other tightly to make up for the half day they had wasted.

“How was the script reading?” If Yan Yan leaned in any closer, things would start moving in a strange direction.

Tu Jiaojiao opened her mouth to ask to divert attention.

Ling Hanyan’s gaze darkened, “My parts are fine, but the two male leads weren’t very familiar with each other before, and they’re still working on their rapport.”

Tu Jiaojiao thought of the script with explicit content she had flipped through before and felt embarrassed for them too.

Remembering the makeup touch up, she wiggled a little and met Ling Hanyan’s eyes, “Yan Yan, raise your head and let me see where your makeup has worn off.”

A low chuckle sounded. Ling Hanyan lightly nipped Tu Jiaojiao’s pink lower lip.

She asked, “To hire Jiaojiao as my makeup artist, how much salary should I pay you?”

“What salary? I don’t want a salary!” Tu Jiaojiao was confused, wondering why she brought this up.

Ling Hanyan gave an “Mm,” “So you don’t have to do any work. I just wanted an excuse to be alone with you.”

“Oh…” Now Tu Jiaojiao understood what she meant she was just a makeup artist in name.

She felt sweet but also a little disappointed; she had been looking forward to painting on Yan Yan’s face up close.

“Give me a kiss.” Remembering the scene of Tu Jiaojiao and Xiao Liang laughing happily just now, a thread of possessiveness rose in Ling Hanyan’s heart.

Before the words were finished, she kissed her rabbit, with burning love.

Tu Jiaojiao was always so obedient, responding well when kissed, and tasting carefully.

This made Ling Hanyan both want to tease her and be reluctant to see her eyes turn red.

Kissing in an unfamiliar environment made Tu Jiaojiao very nervous, but today’s Ling Hanyan seemed much more passionate than usual, so she was reluctant to end it.

Their kiss lasted for a long time, long enough for a thin layer of sweat to form on Tu Jiaojiao’s palms.

A sudden, thunder like knock on the door sounded. The script supervisor outside kindly reminded, “Sister Yan, the male lead has adjusted his mood. Get ready for the next reading.”

Ling Hanyan finally released her lips, gradually calming her emotions.

The unsatisfied emotions were suppressed inside her body, making her very uncomfortable.

But as an actress with professional ethics, Ling Hanyan was very serious when facing work. After a few deep breaths, her heart rate returned to normal.

She helped the girl smooth her slightly messy hair and said with an apologetic tone, “Jiaojiao, I have to go to work now. You can play by yourself in the makeup room, or you can go find Xiao Liang.”

“Okay! Go, Yan Yan!” Sure enough, before becoming a fan of Ling Hanyan herself, Tu Jiaojiao was a fan of her career.

She immediately put on an expression that said, You go to work, I’ll take care of myself, you don’t have to worry at all.

This made Ling Hanyan feel a little disappointed, as if the only one who couldn’t bear to separate was herself.

In fact, Tu Jiaojiao was also very reluctant, but in her heart, she was here to visit Ling Hanyan, and even if she couldn’t help, she didn’t want to cause trouble for her.

After Ling Hanyan left, she wandered around the set alone.

Since she was wearing a staff badge, she could move around smoothly without anyone stopping her.

The relationship between the top and bottom in Over Breathing gradually develops in the swimming pool, so several large and small swimming pools were built on the set. Some were only half-built and hadn’t been tiled yet. Tu Jiaojiao was a proper landlubber and looked at them with amazement.

“Hello, little girl, are you lost?” A strange female voice came, and Tu Jiaojiao turned to look.

It was a middle aged woman who looked very graceful just by standing there, well-maintained, with only a few signs of age around her eyes.

She looked at the badge on Tu Jiaojiao’s chest and was surprised, “Such a beautiful girl is a makeup artist? What a waste of talent.”

Tu Jiaojiao was always afraid of people who spoke so presumptuously and were very aggressive. She scratched her hair, showing a slight smile to express goodwill, but her attitude was not warm.

The woman scrutinized her face for a long time, then smiled, “Upon closer look, the little girl fits a character in my mind quite well. Are you interested in helping me out?”

“Huh?” Tu Jiaojiao didn’t understand what she meant and was a little scared.

“Hello, I’m Long Mei, the screenwriter, and I just sold a script. The director asked me to help find actors. If you’re interested, we can talk… Don’t look at me like that, I really am a screenwriter. Wait, let me find my business card.”

The woman further introduced herself, lowered her head to look for a business card in her bag to prove her identity, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

Xiao Liang ran out from somewhere, didn’t even look at Long Mei, and grabbed Tu Jiaojiao, pulling her away.

She spoke in a caring tone, like coaxing a child, “My Jiaojiao, Sister Yan told me to take good care of you. Several pools here haven’t been completed yet, we shouldn’t go near them, okay?”

“Oh, okay!” After reaching a safe place, Tu Jiaojiao nodded seriously.

Although she wasn’t interested in personally acting in a movie, she was still quite curious about the name of that screenwriter.

But when she turned her head, Long Mei hadn’t followed them at all.

Seeing Tu Jiaojiao looking around, Xiao Liang’s internal alarm bells went off. She said earnestly, “Jiaojiao, you are so beautiful and have such a good personality, you must be careful of the traps in the entertainment industry!

There are many scammers here who will say they feel a connection with you, and that they are scouts, directors, or screenwriters who want to sign you and make you famous, but they are all p*mps!

But think about it, a legitimate director has so many connections, how could they possibly scout people on the set? I’m not exaggerating, ninety-eight percent of them are scammers! They specialize in tricking soft, well-behaved, non-confrontational girls like you!”

Tu Jiaojiao’s expression changed slightly. This was exactly the same pitch the woman had used just now, and she had almost fallen into the trap!

She quickly grabbed Xiao Liang’s arm like a drowning person clutching a lifesaver, still feeling lingering fear, “Yes, yes, that woman just said the same thing! I almost let her lead me on!”
