The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 61

No matter how great the shock Li Shang’s soul received, Ling Hanyan abandoned everything and rushed back to Tu Jiaojiao. By then, Tu Jiaojiao had already been admitted to the hospital.

Tu Jiaojiao didn’t experience much discomfort throughout her pregnancy, but when it came time for labor, the pain seemed to open a floodgate and hit her in tons.

Jin Yan didn’t know she was a rabbit demon, and they didn’t plan on letting her know, so they had the hospital staff bar her from the delivery room.

Since Jin Yan was stopped, they couldn’t favor others, so Tu Yueming and the others also stayed out.

Only Tu Jiaojiao was left to resist the deep, dark pain all by herself.

In a trance, she felt like she was back on Mingling Mountain, still leaning against her older sister who couldn’t talk or take human form.

She felt like she was back in her childhood, playing behind Tu Yueming’s heels when her parents were still alive.

She also felt like she was back on the set of Cotton City Story, leaving this world with the character she played, Ruan Binghua.

She completely failed to notice the doctors and nurses coming and going, feeling as if only two things remained in the world.

The first was that the baby was about to be born, crushing her body as it came out.

The second was that Ling Hanyan was not by her side right now. How could she not be by her side?

She knew that childbirth was very painful, and she had watched documentaries and mentally prepared herself.

But she didn’t expect it to be so fierce and hurt this much.

She unconsciously fumbled for the contract jade in her pocket. This piece of jade had been with her since she discovered she was pregnant.

Gradually, the pain seemed to ease.

If she were cultivating at this moment, she would notice wisps of spiritual energy overflowing from the contract jade, attaching themselves to her belly, slowly guiding the child inside.

However, the spiritual energy in the contract jade was limited, with each wisp being less and fainter than the last.

Just as the spiritual energy in the contract jade was about to be completely exhausted, Ling Hanyan arrived.

Tu Jiaojiao forcefully opened her eyes and saw bright red lights surrounding her, casting a rosy hue on her face.

When their hands clasped, some of the red qi entered Tu Jiaojiao’s body, automatically helping her repair and smooth her meridians. Other red qi entered the contract jade, which then transformed into white, semi-transparent spiritual energy and went into her belly.

The doctor was also surprised. The baby, who had previously refused to come out, seemed to sense the presence of the other mother and cooperated with Tu Jiaojiao’s pushes.

Before Ling Hanyan returned, they struggled for three or four hours with no progress, but ten minutes after her return, the baby was born.

After the child was delivered, Ling Hanyan took a look, remembered the birthmark on the baby, and then asked the nurse to clean and care for her.

She remained by Tu Jiaojiao’s side, her eyes filled with tears, calling her name.

“It looks like… there’s another one inside!” The doctor was also experienced. After an examination, she started getting busy again.

The second baby was born quickly, taking only three minutes from the time the doctor discovered her until she was delivered.

The pain Tu Jiaojiao was experiencing had subsided greatly, and her spirits lifted. Ignoring her pale face, she spoke to Ling Hanyan in a hoarse voice: “They didn’t find a second baby during the check-ups… she’s so good at hiding… let’s call her ‘Mao Mao’ [Cat] for a nickname, like ‘zang mao mao’ [hide and seek]…”

What kind of name was that? No matter what, she had rabbit blood, but her nickname was Cat? Did that make sense?

Ling Hanyan thought this, but still indulged Tu Jiaojiao in every way, praising the name as good and very cute.

Hearing the gasps from the doctors and nurses, the two women turned to look.

Good heavens, the elder baby was being bathed, and as she was being washed, she disappeared, turning into a tiny, hairless rabbit kit…

Pink and just a small ball.

Tu Jiaojiao was scared and struggled to get up to see. Ling Hanyan stopped her, went over herself, and took the small rabbit kit.

“Let’s call the elder baby ‘Tu Tu’ [Rabbit] for a nickname…”

Fortunately, everyone in the hospital knew the secret of the Moon Rabbit clan. Even the delivering doctor had previously witnessed a child turning into a rabbit shortly after birth.

She told the two stunned new mothers, “This is a normal phenomenon. It proves her Moon Rabbit bloodline is purer. We’ll see if the second baby changes in a moment.”

Sure enough, after the second baby was cleaned and fed once, she also transformed into a plump, small rabbit kit.

The doctor reassured them that this phenomenon would only last for about an hour, after which they would turn back into humans.

And they wouldn’t transform again until they met their destined person, so there was no need to worry at all.

However, Tu Jiaojiao began to get anxious. She urged Ling Hanyan to quickly grab the camera. A picture of the babies as small rabbit kits was a rare sight!

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Ling Hanyan originally wanted to stay with Tu Jiaojiao, but the latter was so enchanted by the little rabbit kits that she wouldn’t accept her company, even sternly ordering her to hurry back.

So, she sighed, walked out of the delivery room, and told the family waiting outside the door that Jiaojiao had given birth to two daughters.

Only when the children reverted to human form an hour later did she relax.

The family outside the door were also surprised and delighted. Everyone thought Jiaojiao was only expecting one baby. After all, modern medicine was so advanced; if there were two babies, there was no reason not to find out.

Yet, the event happened right before their eyes.

Some things were prepared in abundance, so there was no need to worry, but they only had one set of certain baby supplies, so they hurriedly and frantically went to buy new ones.

The whole family was busy for a while, while the “unloaded” Tu Jiaojiao was the most leisurely.

By the afternoon, Ling Hanyan finally had time to check her phone.

Countless messages and missed calls were flying across the screen.

It turned out that Director Li Shang was ecstatic about winning the Golden Sea Film Festival award, and his enthusiasm hadn’t cooled off after three days.

When Ling Hanyan messaged him, he was at a big party. The man had a habit: when drunk, he would involuntarily read aloud any words he saw.

Once, when he was drunk, he walked home reading all the billboards along the way.

So, when his mouth slipped and he read Ling Hanyan’s message aloud, everyone present instantly knew that the newly crowned Film Empress was out as a lesbian, and the news that her wife was about to give birth was confirmed.

Among them were reporters. No matter how much Director Li tried to stop them, they swiftly wrote articles and released the news to the public.

Opening Weibo, the top three trending topics all featured Ling Hanyan’s name:

#New Film Empress Admits to Being Lesbian.

#Film Empress Ling Hanyan’s Wife Giving Birth Today and

#Who is Ling Hanyan’s Wife.

As Ling Hanyan’s manager, Sister Mao was about to explode.

She only knew Ling Hanyan and Tu Jiaojiao were engaged, but she had no idea they already had children!

Calculating the time, Tu Jiaojiao must have already been pregnant during the engagement ceremony!

Now, the entire internet was buzzing about this, but she couldn’t reach the person involved at all!

Knowing that obstruction was less effective than guidance, she nervously logged into the official Weibo account and posted a brief blessing.

However, she still masked Tu Jiaojiao’s name for now, only confirming Ling Hanyan’s sexual orientation and the news of her wife’s pregnancy.

Looking at her phone, which was about to crash, Ling Hanyan calmed herself, called Sister Mao, and discussed a series of damage control measures.

After hanging up, she immediately released a statement, biting the bullet to own the scoop.

After half an hour, she quickly scanned the comments, found that most were messages of blessing, and felt much more relaxed.

If Tu Jiaojiao were an ordinary person, she would have directly announced her name.

But knowing that Tu Jiaojiao had the Tu Group behind her, she couldn’t be so reckless.

When to announce it had to wait until things settled down here, and after a thorough discussion with Tu Yueming and the others.

As a new mother, Tu Jiaojiao didn’t know yet that the news was going viral online.

She was tired after nursing the baby and was busy relaxing and sleeping soundly with Hanyan by her side.

After a few days in the hospital, Jiaojiao’s postpartum recovery and the babies’ growth were excellent, so she was eager to go home for her confinement period.

However, Ling Hanyan, Jin Yan, Tu Yueming… everyone banded together and vetoed her idea.

They told her that the entire hospital belonged to her family. The room arranged for her was the highest grade, like a five star hotel with several suites.

They were afraid of accidents happening if they returned home without immediate care from doctors and nurses, even with a confinement nurse present.

They insisted she must wait until the babies were a full month old.

Tu Jiaojiao found staying in the hospital boring, but she lacked the strength to resist, so she had to continue lying lazily in bed.

The doctors had originally predicted space for one baby, and everyone thought she would deliver a large baby weighing eight jin, but she ended up giving birth to two babies, both under five jin.

The children were wrinkled when they were born, but in the past few days, they had shed their skin and lost some redness, looking much fairer and cuter.

Her gaze fell on Ling Hanyan, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Theoretically, Hanyan, having just become the new Film Empress, should have an endless stream of variety show appearances, endorsements, and film invitations.

But what was happening? She looked like she had quit right at her peak, only receiving a few phone calls a day.

She… couldn’t have become irrelevant, could she?!

Tu Jiaojiao looked nervous. She remembered that during childbirth, the red qi on Ling Hanyan’s body had been completely absorbed by herself and the children.

Ahhh, it was all her fault!

Tu Jiaojiao asked Ling Hanyan with a tearful face, “Hanyan, aren’t you busy with work? Didn’t you just become the Film Empress? Did you bring that trophy back?”

Ling Hanyan was puzzled but answered properly: “Sister Mao took the trophy to the company, saying it’s to encourage the younger generation. We can bring it home in a while. I took pictures if you want to see them, I’ll look for them.”

“Hmm… seeing the physical object will be more satisfying.” If it’s being used to motivate the younger generation, it sounds like everything is fine.

Tu Jiaojiao’s eyes darted around. She wanted to ask Ling Hanyan for her phone to secretly check what had happened after this year’s Golden Sea Film Festival.

After thinking for a long time, the latter sternly refused.

Are you kidding? Confinement required quiet rest. If she saw the online storm now, what if her wound tore open?

She tried her best to coax the little rabbit, leaning in to kiss her eyes, saying something she didn’t even believe: “Jiaojiao, rest well. Many women hurt their eyes looking at electronic devices during confinement. Our eyes are so beautiful; we can’t let them tear up when we face the wind, can we?”

Tu Jiaojiao wasn’t fooled by her words, but Hanyan must have a reason for not wanting her to look at her phone. What if she really had become irrelevant and didn’t want her to know?

She put the thought aside and poked Ling Hanyan’s hand: “Then bring the babies over so I can play with them for a while.”

Yes, she used the word “play.”

The babies were soft and tiny right now, only knowing how to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom.

When the babies were uncomfortable, the confinement nurse took care of them, so she, the mother, didn’t feel like she was interacting and raising them.

To interact with the babies properly, she would have to wait until they opened their eyes.

Tu Jiaojiao developed a new hobby: placing the two babies in front of her, moving one’s little hand, and poking the other’s little foot.

“Jiaojiao, I’m going out to run an errand. I’ll be back this afternoon.” Once Tu Jiaojiao focused her attention on the babies, Ling Hanyan sighed and walked out the door.

She couldn’t delay any longer. The capable people online had dug up all the women around her, and it looked like they were close to guessing Tu Jiaojiao’s identity.

So, she had to hurry today to have a serious talk with Sister Mao, Tu Yueming, and the Tu Group’s public relations team about how and which way would be best to make the announcement.

After the small meeting, she walked straight back, her mood ten degrees lighter.

Tu Yueming had said they would handle these matters, and they promised that by the time the babies were one month old, the entire internet would accept the two of them being together.
