The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Ji Xiehan looked at her meaningfully.

"More cookies for you." She said as she went on her way, not willing to breathe the same air as this brazen man. She had had enough of his shamelessness.

Ji Xiehan grinned in satisfaction and quickly followed behind her, before making another demand. "Make them on different days, so it actually feels different." As soon as he said this, he felt like he was a three-year-old kid asking for several one-dollar coins because he thought they were more valuable than a ten-dollar bill. So he quickly coughed up an excuse, "Well, I'm only looking out for you. I don't want you getting tired." 

Li Lanni rolled her eyes at his theatrics. Baking cookies twice was less tiresome than doing it once? She turned to continue walking to the house. 

Ji Xiehan quickly ran after her. "That was just to thank me for driving you to the banquet. You haven't thanked me for driving you back." 

"Excuse me?" Li Lanni tilted her head to ask the man behind her. He was not just a business-minded profiteer; he was a cold-blooded vampire too.

He was seriously using every single opportunity he had to take advantage of her. What audacity. 

Ji Xiehan waved his hands innocently. "I do not like owing people. And similarly, I do not like it when people owe me. Why don't we just get this over with?" 

Li Lanni really had to give it to him. Every time she met this man, her respect for him seemed to drop to the level below. And the more he spoke, the more he lived up to the nickname she had christened him, 'the pervert'.

And it didn't help that he had recently changed his tactics. In the past, he would keep his distance when she wanted him to and stay out of her way. 

But it wasn't sure what had hit him. He had suddenly turned into a flirtatious man, sticking onto her when he was least needed and finding every excuse he could to spend time with her. 

She was only twenty, but that was old enough to understand what exactly this man wanted from her. 

And it was something she was not ready to give yet. She looked him up and down then just sighed. Opening her purse, she took something out and shoved it into his hands. "We owe each other nothing after this. Please stay far away from me." 

Ji Xiehan grinned and watched her back view as she walked into the villa. What a gorgeous waist... and backside. 

Once she disappeared into the house, he opened his hand to reveal what she had shoved into his palm.

It turned out to be candy. He lifted his lips in amus.e.m.e.nt. Did women always carry candy in their purses? 

And out of all things, she gave him candy? But somehow, this candy held more significance than all the gifts he had ever received. 

He eyed the colorful little thing in his hand and was about to unwrap it and eat it when he thought of a better destination than his mouth. Taking out his own wallet, he opened it and kept the candy next to a picture of her. As for how he got her photo, there was no need to ask. He had secretly taken it on the first day they ate lunch together and then printed it in a small size to fit in his wallet. 

Satisfied with the new 'souvenir,' he got into his car and drove off. 

...

Li Lanni was tired by the time she got into the house. She hadn't had the appetite to eat at the banquet, so she was famished too. 

She placed her purse on the nearest sofa as she made her way to the kitchen to find something to munch on. 

"You're back." Li Yuming joined her in the kitchen after a short while. "How was the banquet?" 

Li Lanni paused in her tracks, awkwardly gripping a bottle of water that she had taken from the fridge. She couldn't help but remember how someone had insulted her mother. 

But she flashed a smile while unscrewing the cap and replied to her mother. "It was alright." 

From her tone, Li Yuming could more or less guess that something might have gone wrong. But she must be tired, so Li Yuming didn't bother her about it. 

In fact, what she wanted to know right now was her relationship with Ji Xiehan, having seen what happened earlier from her window. 

She could have sworn that they looked like a boyfriend coaxing his little girlfriend because she was upset and throwing a tantrum. 

In the end, she didn't ask. Li Lanni was still paranoid. It might take some time for her to actually start liking a man -- though her maternal instincts told her that she has already started developing interest in him. 

Oh, how nice it was to be young. One could fall in love so cutely. These two were an ideal match. Their babies would definitely be the most adorable. 

Unaware of her mother's terrifying train of thought, Li Lanni warmed up some dumplings she found in the fridge, ate them before going to her room. 

Once in her room, Li Lanni laid on her bed and finally remembered what had happened earlier, how she had stuffed the pervert with a candy. She couldn't help but giggle.

Seriously, she had just used a candy to thank a grown man. Pfft. But it did suit him. He was acting like a baby anyway. 

___

At the same time, in the Ji family mansion. 

Ji Xiehan had been driving back to his villa, still basking in a good mood when his mother called him back home urgently. 

He had to go home even though he didn't want to. 

Madam Ji was seething in anger.

Putting the scandal Ji Feifei had created aside; nothing could change the fact that Ji Xiehan had attended a banquet with Li Lanni! 

"Explain." As soon as he entered the house, Madam Ji spat out a word impatiently.

Ji Xiehan didn't understand why his mother sounded so angry. "What do I need to explain?" 

"That girl you came with at the banquet." Madam Ji angrily said.

He was thrown into confusion for a moment. Shouldn't his mother be happy? 

Of course, she should, unless that damned nutcase of a younger sister had said something she shouldn't. Since they were at it, he could only explain. "Her name is Li Lanni. She is Li Yuming's daughter and the girl I'm chasing, but she doesn't know it yet, so I will pretty much appreciate it if you do not interfere." 

"What nonsense!" Madam Ji fumed. "I will not let you marry a girl like her." 

"And what's 'a girl like her' supposed to mean?"Ji Xiehan refuted . 

Madam Ji used all her self control to hold herself back from giving her son a slap across his face. "Didn't you hear it? People were talking about it at the banquet.  She is the daughter of a divorcee, and heaven knows where her father is. Her mother has a bad reputation too. It's only a matter of time until people dig that up." 

"And that's supposed to be my business?" He couldn't understand how his mother could be so narrow-minded. How could she label a person just based on the rumors outside? Had Ji Feifei infected her with some of her stupidity?

"Every part of it is your business." Madam Ji shrieked. "Li Yuming is a jinx, has a bad reputation, and God knows what else... and that reflects on her daughter too. There are better women to choose from." 

Ji Xiehan's eyes turned cold and he stood up to leave. He hated it when people said terrible things about Li Lanni. But what he hated more was when people insulted Li Yuming. He had spent enough time with her to know that she was not the type of person every other woman made her out to be. She was not the kind of woman his mother was talking about. 

And the last thing he wanted to deal with right now was a feud between his mother and his future mother-in-law. 

He tilted his head and looked at his shocked mother. "Instead of  listening to rumors outside and badmouthing people for no apparent reason, you should be spending that time with your 'dear' daughter and teaching her how to behave herself.

Just look at what scandal she created at the banquet today. Hasn't she brought enough shame to the Ji family? She probably said she was only teaching Lanni a lesson for framing her, but you have brains. Use them well." He turned on his heel and left. He had so much to say that he could spend hours saying it but it didn't matter. His mother seemed to have been blinded by that brat. 

Madam Ji slumped back onto her sofa in anger and shock. How could her son talk to her that way? And for a dirty little sl*t?!
