The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Late at night in Ji Mansion,

The familiar sound of glasses shattering filled the living room. 

"How could he do this?! How could he?!" Ji Feifei screamed at the top of her lungs and pulled at her hair in frustration.

Madam Ji was startled. Was her daughter going crazy? "Feifei, calm down. Calm down, okay? Tell mother what happened." 

Ji Feifei broke down in Madam Ji's arms. "It's all that b*tch's fault. It's all because of her!" 

It took a while for Madam Ji to realize who she was talking about. There was only one 'b*tch' that Ji Feifei talked about lately. "Li Lanni? What did she do this time?" 

"She and brother are engaged!" Ji Feifei didn't know what to say to her mother, who didn't even know what her son was doing.

"What did you say?" Madam Ji was flabbergasted.

Ji Feifei cried harder, then took out her phone to show Madam Ji the news. 

Madam Ji hadn't been paying attention to online news lately. 

Also, because Ji Xiehan orchestrated all this, no one approached people from the Ji family for interviews. Even the media outlets that reported the news just because others were reporting. So the Ji family had not caught wind of the matter until now. 

"Aahhhh! How could he do this? He even risked his life for her!" Ji Feifei screamed. She had seen the news of Ji Xiehan saving Li Lanni from almost being run over by a truck. 

What did Li Lanni do to bewitch Ji Xiehan? That was her brother! He was hers!! 

Madam Ji wasn't any happier. She was boiling with anger when she saw all those headlines and videos of her son saving that girl. 

It was still okay for Ji Xiehan to love a girl... she could have easily taken care of that, but what was the meaning of this? They were engaged already! How could her son not even say a word about this matter to her? Her son was getting out of hand.

"That's not possible." She mumbled. "Feifei, go to sleep. I will look into this matter tomorrow morning." 

Tsk. She was very well aware of her son's temperament. Even if she called him and asked about it right now, she wouldn't get any answers from him. She would look into the matter the next morning; she believed that girl had something to hide. If not, there was no way his son would fall in love with that woman's daughter. 

She was never going to let such a jinx into her family!

Ji Feifei still had a lot to vent, but when she saw her mother's expression, she knew it was not the time to act spoilt, so she obediently went into her room.

In the hospital ward, in the morning 

"Luna!" Li Lanni half-screamed as she woke up startled. 

Li Yuming worriedly held her hand. "Did you have a nightmare?" 

Even though she had regained consciousness, Li Lanni still had to stay one more day for observation in the hospital. Li Yunming and Ji Xiehan were both worried about her, so they stayed back.

Ji Xiehan had only left a while ago to buy them breakfast. 

Seeing her daughter wake up suddenly with a pale face Li Yuming was worried.

Li Lanni took a while to respond. She had a bad dream; Xia Luna had been shot dead by a middle aged woman. Even though she hadn't been with Xia Luna for very long, she had developed a deep bond with her. She didn't want to lose one more family member. It took her a while to accept that she was only dreaming. She then frowned and looked at her mother. "Mom, something's fishy." 

"What happened?" 

Li Lanni slowly and carefully asked, "Mom, why exactly do you hate Luna?" 

Li Yuming's expression darkened. "Are we seriously going to talk about that girl again?" 

"I know you don't like her, but she... she was so sad. 

I couldn't help thinking of how I would feel if our father sent me away the same way you kicked her out. I would be so depressed..." 

Li Yuming unconsciously tightened her grip on Li Lanni's hand. Indeed, that was her daughter too. She also felt pain in her heart when she saw Xia Luna run out so sadly. 

But in the next second, she frowned. "Don't you play the guilt-trick with me. Did that girl teach you that?" 

Li Lanni was saddened and almost lost her cool. "Mom, she's not a bad person." 

"What do you even know about her, Lanni? Only her name? You are telling me that you think she is a good person just based on this?" 

Before Li Lanni could answer, the door opened, and Ji Xiehan came back. 

Li Lanni was unhappy. She wanted to know why her mother hated Xia Luna to the core. She wanted to know the reason for her mother's prejudiced anger towards Xia Luna!

"Lanni, are you feeling better? I brought you breakfast from your favorite restaurant." Ji Xiehan asked gently with a smile. He knew that atmosphere in the room was tense, so he tried to cheer her up.

Li Lanni stiffly smiled at him and took the box from his hands.

Ji Xiehan gave one to Li Yuming and placed another on the table. Then he sat beside her to start feeding her. 

"I can eat myself." Li Lanni protested with flushed cheeks. 

Ji Xiehan shamelessly took advantage of Li Yunming's presence and paid no heed to her words, "Honey, you are still tired. Let me feed you." 

Although she was embarrassed, she could only agree, or else this bastard might start saying things he shouldn't say. 

Ji Xiehan was very satisfied. How could he not make use of such a golden opportunity? It was not every day that he could feed his beloved. In the past, whenever he was having his meals, he dreamed about feeding her in a lovey-dovey manner. Finally, his dream was fulfilled!

Li Yuming coughed and smiled proudly. The kids were too cute. The little baby she had cradled and told bedtime stories to was now a grown-up woman in love. She was even engaged now. Which mother wouldn't be happy? 

After finishing her meals, She left to handle the discharge procedure not to be a third wheel. 

If she only knew... Li Lanni didn't want to be alone with the pervert. Li Lanni was tensed when she saw her mother leave her alone with this pevert.

"Are you scared I might 'eat' you up?" Ji Xiehan teased when he saw her 'mommy-don't-go' look. 

"No! I'm scared I might kill you." Li Lanni saw the laughter in his eyes and gritted her teeth.

Ji Xiehan tittered. "You don't want the nation to accuse you of being a heartless girl who killed her husband, do you?" 

Li Lanni was no longer listening to him. Her expression turned sad. "I wonder if my sister is doing alright." 

Having watched the fight between Xia Luna and Li Yuming, Ji Xiehan felt he was in an awkward position. He couldn't take sides with the mother, and neither could he take sides with the daughter. 

"Your friend is not going to kill her, right?" Li Lanni asked worriedly. She had heard a bit about relationship. She was worried that Jiang Xingyu might want to take revenge on her sister.

Ji Xiehan's hair stood on end. Was Jiang Xingyu alright? That girl didn't kill him, did she? 

"Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?" His sudden change in expression amused Li Lanni. 

"I'm just worried about my friend."

"You have a lot to be worried about. If he does anything to hurt my sister, I will skin him alive." 

Ji Xiehan remained silent. What if she does something to hurt my friend? Should I skin her alive too? 

"Ji Xiehan, I want to..." she was about to say that she wanted to give Xia Luna a call when Li Yuming came back after doing all the paperwork. 

She looked furious. 

"Mom, what happened?" 

"I'm disappointed in you Li Lanni. How could you do this to me?" She turned to glare at Ji Xiehan. "And you. I can't believe you would do something like this. So much for thinking my daughter was in safe hands." 

Ji Xiehan felt a chill down his spine. "Aunty, what happened?" 

"You are asking me what happened? You tell me what happened. About the fake engagement... care to explain?" 

Li Lanni felt her heart sink to the depth of her stomach. Her mother had found out...
