The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Eer… there was nothing wrong with that, right? 

Maybe in the future, if they ever married… should she bully him a little? Li Lanni giggled when she imagined that. 

But in the next second, she realized how absurd her thoughts were and scolded herself for having such terrifying thoughts. 

What was she thinking? A future with Ji Xiehan?! How insane! Insanity must be contagious. This pervert must have infected her with some of his stupidity. 

She didn't want to spend more time with him, lest she would also become crazy. She was more or less done shopping, so she forcefully dragged him into paying for the purchase. Ji Xiehan still wanted to shop; from the moment his eyes fell on that ring, he couldn't tear his gaze off it. The ring was made of platinum and had a small diamond on it and, on the whole, gave an elegant feeling. Somehow he felt that kind of elegant ring could only befit someone like Li Lanni. But, alas, she wouldn't let him buy the ring for her. 

Li Lanni, on the other hand, didn't know what to think of an a.d.u.l.t man behaving like a sulking kid.

She wondered just how many screws were loose in his brain. 

She just brushed it away as him making up excuses to spend more time with her.

She had bought many things, so the money she had carried in her purse wouldn't be enough. 

So, looking through her purse, she fished out the black Mastercard that her mother had given to her. 

"Please pack the peac.o.c.k feathered dress separately. Wrap it up as a present." She instructed, holding out the card for the cashier to swipe. 

"Uhm…" 

Li Lanni realized the cashier had an odd expression and looked at her. She was holding a similar card between her fingers and looking at the two of then inquisitively. The card must be Ji Xiehan's. 

Li Lanni took a deep breath and glanced at him.  "I can pay for my own purchase." 

Ji Xiehan didn't intend to take it back. "Darling, I'm your man. It is only right that I pay for you." 

Li Lanni had the urge to berate him, but there was someone else so she couldn't. She could only act modestly. "There's no such rule. Xiehan, I appreciate your gesture, but you really don't have to." 

Ji Xiehan felt his heart flutter. The way she had called his name… 

She had even drawn out the syllables so cutely that if they were alone, he would have directly kissed her. 

Nevertheless, he didn't back down. "Honey, you never let me take you out for fun, you don't let me spend much time with you either. Are you really going to deny me the right to do this one little thing for you?" 

Li Lanni knew she would never win, so she sighed and kept her card away, making a mental note to calculate the cost and return his money later. 

Ji Xiehan smiled happily. Finally, he got to do something for his little beauty. He had never been this happy to spend money. 

Meanwhile, the cashier was the most stunned. 

It was already rare enough for customers to buy as many items as Li Lanni had all at once. 

But not only did Li Lanni buy all of these, but they were also of the highest quality and very expensive!

As though that wasn't enough, they were arguing over wanting to pay for the items, both of them were even holding black Mastercards! This unfair world! 

Was this the so-called 'couple from matching family backgrounds'? They indeed matched each other in every aspect.

Just as the cashier was about to give the receipt to them, the manager rushed towards them and said, "Miss, because of your visit, we had more customers visiting our outlet today. To express our gratitude, I would like to give you a 20% discount." 

Li Lanni was taken by surprise. "Why would you?" 

"Please take it as a thank you gift." The manager said. He would have let Li Lanni have all the clothes for free, but he knew that she would think he was trying to suck up to her. That was why he was giving a discount. 

Because it was a sincere gift, Li Lanni didn't turn it down in the end. 

Happy that she had agreed to the discount, the manager specially arranged for her goods to be delivered to her home. 

They had just finished and left the building and were heading to the parking lot when Li Lanni remembered something. 

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiehan asked when she suddenly stopped. 

"Wait for me a moment." She said and dashed back into the store. 

Ji Xiehan shrugged and waited for her. 

Li Lanni rushed all the way to the jewelry section. 

Without a second thought, she grabbed the watch she had seen earlier and rushed to the cashier. 

The lady beamed when she saw Li Lanni back. When she saw what Li Lanni had bought, she couldn't help being a little gossipy. "Is this for your fiancé? Should I wrap it up as a gift?" 

Li Lanni's ears went red. "Yes." 

The cashier wrapped it up fast and held it out to her with a smile. "You guys love each other very much. Not only that, you are also very beautiful together. Your fiancé is so handsome and you are so pretty; an ultimate couple. You will definitely be together for more than a hundred years." 

Li Lanni knew the cashier was just being polite, but it still made her blush. It was even more awkward because she knew that the whole relationship was, in fact fake. How could she and Ji Xiehan look good together? They were not even in love! 

Well, the pervert may be a little interested in her but she definitely didn't feel anything for him. 

In her own turmoil, she didn't know that the cashier was sincere right from her heart. 

It wasn't every day that she saw a couple who loved each other this much. 

Although the girl still seemed unsure of her own feelings, it must be because she was still young and trying to figure things out. But it was obvious just how deeply she loved the man. 

...

Li Lanni hurried back outside, not willing to be teased anymore. She didn't love Ji Xiehan, okay? She just liked the watch and thought it would look good on him. She just couldn't resist the urge to buy it. That had nothing to do with feelings. 

Ji Xiehan eyed the gift in her hand then saw her flushed face. 

She looked happy and absolutely cute, but something in his heart dimmed. 

She had rushed over to buy a gift and returned blushing. Who was it for? It had to be for a man, right? 

He had to clench his fists hard to restrain his jealousy from surfacing. No matter how unhappy he was, he didn't want to lose control and do something Li Lanni wouldn't like. 

Hence he thought of something he had seen in the jewelry section. "Wait for me for a minute." 

Before she could respond, he had rushed to the mall. 

…

The cashier was in for tons of dog food today. Just a moment ago, Li Lanni had rushed back to buy a gift for Ji Xiehan. 

And just when she left, Ji Xiehan had rushed back to buy her a present too? 

What was this odd way of buying gifts one after another? 

Ji Xiehan had chosen a watch and a bracelet. They were from one set that was meant for a couple. This was the latest masterpiece of the most famous couple's brand. 

The set Ji Xiehan had chosen, in fact, the most valuable. 

Obviously, Ji Xiehan didn't choose it for its price. It was the detail that mattered to him. 

Looking at them separately, one wouldn't even think they could be a couple's set. After all, they were different items. 

But looking at them together, they complemented each other perfectly. 

After buying them, he had the cashier wrap the bracelet as a gift then he kept the watch away. 

Li Lanni waited for a few minutes and was starting to wonder what was taking him so long when she finally saw him exit the building. 

He had kept the small gift box in his pockets, so she didn't see it. 

She wondered why he had gone back. Had he gone back to get a gift too? 

She was still staring at him; then she noticed his expression suddenly change. 

"Lanni!" 

Before she could react, he reached her in a flash. She was suddenly hugged and pulled away. Then a truck raced past. 

Li Lanni felt her body suddenly tremble. Her eyes went wide. 

If he didn't pull her away, she would be dead already....

"But… but this is a parking lot." She stammered. 

"There always has to be one or two crazy drivers out there. Are you alright?" 

"Lanni?!"
