The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 59
“Hello, you must be Jiao Jiao.” A gentle and kind female voice entered her ears, making Tu Jiaojiao’s heart skip a beat. She quickly went to greet her.
Ling Hanyan’s mother Jin Yan at first glance, was also a stunning beauty, but she didn’t make Tu Jiaojiao feel scared or uncomfortable.
It turned out that her ageless face resembled Ling Hanyan’s by about seventy percent, making Tu Jiaojiao feel instantly warm and familiar when she first saw her.
She softly raised her hand to greet her, her cheeks flushed with shyness: “Hello, Auntie.”
“I didn’t expect Yanyan’s girlfriend to be so beautiful. I’ve finally met you, Auntie. She’s too good at hiding things.” Ms. Jin walked over with a smile.
As she got closer, Tu Jiaojiao was surprised to detect a refreshing, faint aroma filling her nostrils. The perfume she wore was also a kind of plant based scent.
It smelled wonderful, and she couldn’t help but take a few extra sniffs.
Ling Hanyan followed silently, pulling two large suitcases.
Tu Jiaojiao sensed a hint of displeasure on her brow, which worried her a little, but she vaguely guessed the reason was related to her mother, so she held back from speaking for the time being.
Sure enough, that evening, Ling Hanyan told her mournfully that since Jiao Jiao wasn’t visibly pregnant yet, she had wanted to keep the news of her “little rabbit carrying a baby” a secret for a while and had planned to bring her mother over this time to discuss wedding matters first.
However, a few days ago, she accidentally let slip over the phone that she wanted to buy a house in a good school district, which made her mother guess about the pregnancy.
When her mother heard that Tu Jiaojiao’s parents had passed away years ago, she felt incredibly sympathetic.
Thinking that Ling Hanyan was busy with work and sometimes away from home for ten days to half a month while filming, she packed her bags and planned to come and take care of her personally.
Tu Jiaojiao also felt a slight headache when she heard that Ms. Jin was planning to live with them for a long time.
Her hand unconsciously stroked her flat lower abdomen, and she looked up and asked, “Doesn’t Auntie find it strange that two women can have a baby?”
Ling Hanyan squeezed her eyebrows: “She asked, and I said it was new national technology that hasn’t been widely promoted yet, and we found a connection with great difficulty.”
“Ah, this… isn’t that credible…” Tu Jiaojiao shrank her neck, not thinking Ms. Jin would be convinced by this reason.
However, Ling Hanyan pursed her lips, calmly opened her phone, and showed her a document about extracting egg cells and performing a series of procedures to cultivate a fertilized egg.
“It has a basis, but I haven’t checked how it develops afterward. But my mother doesn’t care about those details; she’s relieved as long as she knows the child in your belly is related to me by blood.”
“Alright… Just remember to ask her not to tell anyone, okay?” Tu Jiaojiao sighed, accepting the news that she would be living with Ms. Jin for the next few months.
Director Fang knew that Ling Hanyan’s girlfriend was pregnant and guessed she would be excited for a while, so he changed the filming schedule and postponed her scenes.
Ling Hanyan thus took her half-month mini-vacation to stay home with Jiao Jiao and her mother.
She was worried that the two might clash. Ms. Jin was outgoing and carefree, while Jiao Jiao was a sensitive little rabbit.
Ling Hanyan was mainly afraid that her mother might unintentionally do or say something that hurt Jiao Jiao, and Jiao Jiao, being overly considerate, would definitely keep it bottled up.
She didn’t want her mother’s intention to care for Jiao Jiao to end up making Jiao Jiao feel wronged.
However…
Ling Hanyan discovered that her mother got along surprisingly well with Jiao Jiao.
She secretly observed that her mother’s attitude seemed to be one of caring for a fragile little animal.
When facing Jiao Jiao, she spoke softly and did everything slowly, step by step.
When Ling Hanyan was a child, her mother had been a very rough parent; she had never enjoyed such meticulous care, but this was a good thing.
Jiao Jiao was a bit overwhelmed, but knowing that Ms. Jin meant well, she slowly accepted her kindness.
On the last day of Ling Hanyan’s vacation, Jin Yan and Tu Yueming met.
Both parties were extremely satisfied with their children’s partners, and the discussions about the wedding proceeded at rocket speed. With almost no disagreement, they quickly reached the engagement date.
By then, Tu Jiaojiao was four months pregnant, her waist had thickened, and she was slightly showing.
However, her delicate, fair face was still small. When Ling Hanyan cuddled with her, she noticed that the extra weight was mostly going to her chest and hips.
Neither of them was a flamboyant person, so the engagement banquet only invited close relatives and friends, filling exactly three tables.
They could have gotten married right away, but Ling Hanyan wanted to give Tu Jiaojiao a grand, memorable wedding blessed by everyone, and now was not the best time to go public.
Moreover, Jiao Jiao was more delicate than usual during her pregnancy. Considering how complicated the full wedding process would be, it would surely exhaust her little rabbit, so Ling Hanyan stubbornly refused to be perfunctory despite the pressure.
In some regions, engagement signifies something close to marriage, as it publicly acknowledges the intimate relationship between the two parties in front of relatives and friends.
Although the wedding was postponed, after the simple engagement banquet, they were still eager to register their marriage first.
Tu Jiaojiao was delighted with the marriage certificate and kept opening it to look at it.
The crimson little booklet, with every stroke, imprinted their happiness and joy. From now on, they were not just lovers but even deeper life partners.
Xiao Liang and Sister Mao were also invited to the engagement banquet. Sister Mao, who knew Ling Hanyan was dating, was just a little shocked that her girlfriend turned out to be Tu Jiaojiao.
Xiao Liang, on the other hand, was in a daze for three days. In her mind, Tu Jiaojiao was Sister Yan’s only close friend!
Who would have thought that they would end up being a couple! And a couple seriously planning to have a baby and settle down.
However, after a moment of melancholy, Xiao Liang accepted the situation.
The main reason was that she hadn’t considered the possibility of them being homosexuals, which was why she was so surprised.
Now, viewing the beautiful pair with the spirit of a shipping fan, Xiao Liang realized they were truly a match made in heaven.
Who could pamper Jiao Jiao as meticulously and subtly as Sister Yan?
Who could possibly intrude into their harmonious, pink-bubble-filled atmosphere?
Oh, wait, thinking back, the past scenes of secretly sending gifts, feeding biscuits, getting angry, and getting jealous were all sweet moments.
Ms. Liang Qing, who had been a celebrity assistant for years but never got the joy of being a fan, was now a true front-line shipper.
The engagement banquet came suddenly, and no one had prepared any gifts.
But there was still some time until the official wedding she had to seriously think about what grand wedding gift to prepare for the “Turing couple.”
Six months into her pregnancy, she felt heavy, and Tu Jiaojiao was even more reluctant to go out, spending her days at home, playing with her rabbit and cat.
In addition to coming herself, Mama Jin also hired an auntie to help take care of her.
Although Ling Hanyan was currently away filming, Tu Jiaojiao’s life was still enjoyable and flavorful.
One day, as Tu Jiaojiao was playing with Little White, Ms. Jin casually mentioned that she was doing preliminary research on opening a perfume shop in a mall owned by the Tu Corporation.
She had been in perfumery all her life and was quite well-known in the industry. Opening a shop here would surely be profitable.
She had previously tried living alone with Ling Hanyan, but perhaps due to a lack of mother-daughter connection in this life or something else, the house remained cold.
After Ling Hanyan entered the entertainment industry, she didn’t follow her here.
But times were different now.
Now, she had an adorable daughter named Tu Jiaojiao, and soon there would be a soft, milk scented little grandson.
Since they were all developing in this city, there was no reason for her to live alone anymore.
However, commercial spaces in the Tu Corporation’s malls were highly sought after. She wondered if she could be ready to open the shop by the time Jiao Jiao gave birth.
Seeing Mama Jin’s difficulty, Tu Jiaojiao hesitated, and then her scalp felt numb as she remembered a significant issue.
The engagement banquet had been rushed and simple, and her sister hadn’t had the chance to reveal her identity to Ling Hanyan’s mother.
That is to say, Ms. Jin and Ling Hanyan did not know that the Tu Corporation was her family’s business…
It seemed today was the day to confess.
Sighing, Tu Jiaojiao put down the cat teaser, patted the spot next to her on the sofa, and called out, “Mom, come and sit here.”
Once Ms. Jin sat down, she gently opened her mouth: “Have you chosen which mall to open your shop in? I’ll go and ask if there are any good spots available soon.”
Hearing this, Jin Yan immediately felt heartache.
She thought Jiao Jiao was trying to use her work connections what a good girl.
However, this was not the right time for her to worry, and she was reluctant for Jiao Jiao to pull strings for such a small matter.
Although the Tu Corporation’s shops were excellent, her perfume was also good. If she couldn’t secure a space there, it was fine to look for a place in other malls.
She patted Tu Jiaojiao and said, “No need to trouble yourself. It’s so hard to get a shop in the Tu Corporation’s malls.
Although my main base isn’t here, I have many friends I know. You just rest and take care of your pregnancy. When the baby is born, I’ll give the perfume shop as a gift to you both.”
“It’s no trouble,” Tu Jiaojiao shrank her neck and gave up, saying, “I forgot to tell you earlier… the Tu Corporation… is my family’s business…”
Jin Yan’s brows furrowed at these words.
Everyone knew the Tu Corporation was one of the leading companies in the country. Although her family was relatively well-off, and her perfumes were popular, it wasn’t enough to compare with the Tu Corporation.
However, the Tu Corporation did seem to have a young CEO who rarely left home. She hadn’t paid much attention to the gossip in the business world.
If Tu Jiaojiao was telling the truth, then her family was really marrying up… She wondered if Yanyan knew about this…
Seeing Ms. Jin’s expression shift slightly, Tu Jiaojiao started to panic.
She quickly explained: “Mom, please don’t be mad at me… You never asked before, and I… I didn’t know how to bring it up…”
‘You all’ hearing this word, Jin Yan understood. Ling Hanyan probably didn’t know either.
The thought that Yanyan was Tu Jiaojiao’s partner yet still didn’t know about her substantial family background made Jin Yan want to laugh.
But this proved that the feelings between the two women were genuine they were completely attracted to each other, and their relationship had nothing to do with family background or social status.
Seeing Tu Jiaojiao like this, Jin Yan also felt for her.
She quickly pulled Tu Jiaojiao into her arms, comforting her like she used to comfort Ling Hanyan when she was a child and was upset about poor test results: “It’s okay, Mom believes you.”
When both had calmed down, Jin Yan spoke slowly: “Jiao Jiao, don’t forget such a big thing again. When Ling Hanyan finishes filming and comes back, you must tell her right away.”
Tu Jiaojiao looked up, her eyes full of expectation: “Mom, can you help me…”
But Jin Yan saw through her little trick and turned her head: “No, you have to tell her this yourself, or she won’t believe it.”
“Sigh, you’re right.” Tu Jiaojiao pouted, placed her hand on her belly, and said dramatically, “Baby, quickly tell Mama Yanyan in her dreams that Mama Tutu is very rich. Stop working so hard; I’ll support her!”
