The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 60

A few days later, Ling Hanyan returned from out of town, remembering Jiao Jiao had important news for her. She headed straight home as soon as she landed.

However, when she got home, what awaited her was not the usual soft, warm embrace.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao gave her a quick, shallow kiss and then pulled away.

Moreover, she noticed that Jiao Jiao and her mother kept glancing at her face, looking as if they had something important to say but were holding back, which made her feel uneasy.

So, Ling Hanyan pretended to be petting the cats to secretly observe if anything was different in the house.

Fortunately, Da Bai and Xiao Bai were the most affectionate, and they were very cooperative at the moment.

Having not seen her for many days, they were as intimate as if separated by years, following her everywhere she went, circling her legs one on the left and one on the right.

“Da Bai, Xiao Bai, stop clinging to Yanyan. Come and play here.” Rabbit Jiao Jiao had rehearsed her speech in her mind for a long time and finally felt ready.

She patted the cat tree, breaking the silence.

After settling the cats, she sighed softly, glanced at Mrs. Jin, and with the tragic resolve of a hero going off to battle, called Ling Hanyan into the study.

The two sat facing each other, as usual, with a hot drink placed in front of them.

Jiao Jiao took a sip of sweet milk to calm her nerves, then looked up at Ling Hanyan.

Her eyes were moist and affectionate: “Yanyan, you remember I told you on the phone that I had something important to tell you, right?”

“Mhm.” Ling Hanyan answered, meeting her gaze, feeling inexplicably nervous.

She hadn’t felt this much pressure even during her audition for the female lead of The Story of Miancheng.

“Oh, I should have told you earlier. It feels so weird dragging it out until now…” Rabbit Jiao Jiao tightened her grip on the porcelain cup, murmuring to herself.

Ling Hanyan took her hand, gazing at her with a deep look, her voice tight: “Telling me… will it change our relationship?”

“Of course not!” Rabbit Jiao Jiao quickly shook her head, her voice firm and decisive.

Because she knew that Yanyan loved her as a person, and it had nothing to do with her family background.

“Then… do you have to tell me?” The woman who was usually as calm as a clear mirror showed a rare look of fear on her face because she was worried that Rabbit Jiao Jiao’s attitude towards her might change.

This wisp of worry added a layer of fragile mist to Ling Hanyan’s incomparably beautiful face, making Rabbit Jiao Jiao’s heart ache.

“Oh, it’s nothing big,” she walked over and sat on the same sofa as Ling Hanyan, hugging her tightly, trying to burrow into her arms as usual.

However, the latter kept her body rigid and leaned back, afraid of touching her belly.

The scene became a comical chase, with one pursuing and the other retreating.

“It’s just that, well, Yanyan, you know I’m a working professional, right?” Rabbit Jiao Jiao felt perfectly healthy and wasn’t worried about the baby.

Only when Ling Hanyan was forced into the corner of the sofa with nowhere to hide did she feel satisfied and settled next to her.

“I didn’t tell you that I’m working for my own family. And well, that… the Tu Group is my family’s, and my sister is the CEO.” Rabbit Jiao Jiao blurted out all the details in one breath.

She dared not look at Ling Hanyan, burying her head in her chest and stammering.

Feeling the body underneath her shake slightly, Rabbit Jiao Jiao hugged Ling Hanyan even tighter, refusing to let go.

Unexpectedly, a soft laugh came. Rabbit Jiao Jiao felt Ling Hanyan stroking her hair.

“I guessed your background must be very good, but I didn’t expect it to be this good.” Ling Hanyan finished laughing, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness, “I’ll have to work even harder on my acting to support my precious little rabbit.”

Yanyan… she wasn’t angry, not sad, and she didn’t feel inferior because the gap between them was too large!

This message was processed by Rabbit Jiao Jiao’s little brain, and she immediately cheered up.

She giggled: “Hehehe, I can support you too.”

With their defenses and worries dropped, they spent some time in the study, where only the two of them were present, exchanging sweet endearments.

Having not seen each other for several days, and with the atmosphere being so pleasant now, certain desires were ignited for the other person.

Ling Hanyan leaned in, gently pried open her lips, and the fresh, beautiful kiss poured down like moonlight.

Halfway through her teasing, Ling Hanyan’s expression suddenly froze, and her hand trembled slightly.

“What, what’s moving?”

“It’s the baby!” Rabbit Jiao Jiao felt it, adjusted her sitting posture, and guided Ling Hanyan’s hand onto her belly.

“I forgot to tell you, the baby is moving now!”

The baby was very considerate of Mama Ling. When her fair hand gently stroked the belly again, it gave a little kick.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao, who carried the baby every day, didn’t have such a strong sense of it.

But for the first time, Ling Hanyan clearly felt the child’s presence in the world.

The thought of a little soft bundle following them around and calling them “Mama” in the future made her heart soften into an almost sugary syrup.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao guided Ling Hanyan to interact with the baby, but then suddenly felt a dampness on her shoulder. She looked up.

Tears were actually welling up in Ling Hanyan’s eyes!!

She quickly started consoling her wife: “Yanyan, don’t cry, the baby is fine. The movement means it’s healthy, don’t be scared, Yanyan…”

Since feeling the fetal movement, Ling Hanyan had found a new interest. Whenever she sensed that her work wasn’t too demanding, she would slip away earlier than anyone else.

All just to spend more time with Jiao Jiao and the baby, sometimes reading fairytales, sometimes singing soft, cheerful songs.

Thanks to her and Mrs. Jin’s constant companionship, Rabbit Jiao Jiao barely suffered from morning sickness throughout her entire pregnancy.

She always said that the baby was already loving its mother before birth and was a good child sent to repay their kindness.

Time flowed quickly, and it was soon time for the Golden Sea Film Festival.

This is the world’s premier and most prestigious film festival. This year, it was held domestically, saving local actors the trouble of traveling long distances.

Ling Hanyan was very successful this year, with two nominations.

They were for Best Supporting Actress for Jianghu Has No Cure and Best Actress for The Legend of Empress Crane Spirit.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao was due around that time, and her belly looked very large. Fearing that the baby might decide to pop out mid-flight, she didn’t dare to attend in person.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao firmly believed Ling Hanyan would win the award, and not being able to share that moment of glory with her made her feel very sad.

Seeing her sadness, Ling Hanyan lost control again because of Rabbit Jiao Jiao and even suggested skipping the event and having someone else from the crew accept the trophy for her.

As her number one career fan, Rabbit Jiao Jiao absolutely couldn’t tolerate that.

Is having someone accept the trophy for you the same as bringing it home yourself?! What if the audience doesn’t read the text carefully and thinks someone else won the award!

She immediately felt fine, her back didn’t ache, her legs didn’t hurt, and she didn’t care that she couldn’t watch the awards ceremony. She joined forces with Mama Jin to rush Ling Hanyan onto the plane.

Less than a week before her due date, the film festival officially opened.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao, Mama Jin, Da Bai, Xiao Bai, and Cotton Candy a family of five gathered happily in front of the TV, waiting for the camera to pan to Ling Hanyan.

Ling Hanyan’s gown today was very thoughtfully chosen. It was made of pure white silk fabric, and the excellent tailoring perfectly outlined her figure.

As she walked, her long, white legs would peek out from the high slit, making her look graceful and alluring.

Moreover, she was holding an Angora rabbit, custom made to the exact size of Rabbit Jiao Jiao’s original form, in the crook of her arm.

If the features of this rabbit hadn’t been stylized and simplified, people would have thought she was holding a real rabbit.

Sure enough, Ling Hanyan’s action attracted a lot of attention.

Nosy reporters specifically interviewed her, wanting to know the meaning behind it.

Ling Hanyan changed her usual attitude of avoiding the limelight and earnestly responded to every reporter: “This is a stand in for my pet Angora rabbit Little Crescent Moon Number Two. I couldn’t bring Little Crescent Moon here because of the crowd and noise, which made me very sad, so I brought the stand in instead.”

Rabbit Jiao Jiao watched her perfectly coherent nonsense on the TV screen and couldn’t stop laughing.

She truly felt Ling Hanyan’s thoughtfulness.

Yanyan had told her before leaving that whenever she took photos with others, she would hold this fluffy rabbit so it could be in the picture too.

Later, when the child sees the photos and asks about the details of this film festival, they can say that both mothers attended, and this is Rabbit Jiao Jiao herself.

Soon, the film festival began.

Rabbit Jiao Jiao didn’t care about the initial proceedings; she only wanted to know if Yanyan would win an award this time!

“The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award is Ling Hanyan! She brought us the beautiful and not-at-all-wicked supporting character, Jiang Wuyao!”

Upon hearing this news, the audience cheered, and Rabbit Jiao Jiao and Jin Yan also cheered enthusiastically. They were so excited that they vigorously massaged their furry pets, whose eyes were filled with fright.

However, this was just the beginning the real big award was yet to come.

They waited and waited with anticipation, and amidst the dazzling lights, they finally arrived at the announcement for Best Actress.

“The winner of the Best Actress Award is an old friend to everyone, and that is Ling Hanyan!”

Hearing Yanyan’s name again from the host’s mouth, Rabbit Jiao Jiao was incredibly excited.

From now on, Ling Hanyan could truly be crowned with the title of Best Actress. Being able to witness this moment firsthand made her very happy.

With the intense surge of emotion, the baby in her belly also felt its mother’s excitement and began kicking and punching. Her belly was bulging for several minutes before it finally calmed down.

After watching the live broadcast of the Golden Sea Film Festival, Rabbit Jiao Jiao still felt unsatisfied.

She opened Weibo, logged into the account ‘Yanyan’s Little Rabbit,’ and carefully drafted a congratulatory post.

“Ahhh, everyone knows now! Our Yanyan is the Best Actress! From now on, please call me ‘The Best Actress’s Little Rabbit’! Because Little Crescent Moon is afraid of flying, we had to send her good friend Number Two to the site to accompany Yanyan. I wonder if any of you spotted me!”

Just as predicted in Ling Han Blossoms Alone, Ling Hanyan won two major awards this year. They say fame nourishes people, and she was becoming more popular and more beautiful.

Thinking of this, Rabbit Jiao Jiao felt contented.

She stroked her round belly, sighing that she couldn’t see her toes anymore when she looked down.

The doctor said her baby was developing too well, and her belly was one size larger than others, but her physical condition was still quite good, so there was hope for a natural delivery.

Now, Yanyan’s filming for The Story of Miancheng was nearing its end, so she didn’t have to worry too much. The most important thing now was to wait for the baby to be born!

On the third day of the film festival, Ling Hanyan took a 4 a.m. flight home, feeling distraught and with cold palms all the way.

It turned out that an hour earlier, Jiao Jiao had called her, her voice carrying a slight whimper: “Yanyan, my stomach is starting to hurt. The baby doesn’t want to stay in my belly anymore it wants to see the world… When will you be back?”

Ling Hanyan’s hair stood on end immediately. She couldn’t wait any longer. She had originally planned to attend an event with The Legend of Empress Crane Spirit crew the next day.

She decided to throw caution to the wind and announce their relationship to the public. She immediately sent a text message to the director, Li Shang. “Director, my wife is giving birth, I’m heading home!”
