The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She went into bed, covered her body with a comforter and curled into a ball. It was so cold tonight... or maybe it was her heart which was cold out of fear.

Why was everyone around her acting strange?

Why would Master Ji claim that they had met before? Although his presence felt familiar, she had obviously only seen him on the business magazines she had taken a liking to reading lately. Even if they had actually met before, she didn't remember.

The most important point was, so he was the person who she had heard call her name at the theme park today...

...

Ji Xiehan couldn't sleep no matter how long he lay on his bed.

He had met his little beauty today. However, he wasn't as happy as he should be.

That terrible unreliable assistant... wait it was former assistant because he had fired him today.

He had simply told that guy to bring Lanni to him. He could have politely explained the situation and brought her to him peacefully. Why the hell did he kidnap her?

What was he doing, destroying his image in Lanni's mind? She would think he was an arrogant man who did everything to get their way even if it means hurting people in the process.

The girl's words were still fresh in his mind. "Master Ji? We have nothing in common. Why would you kidnap me?"

He tried to make her feel more relaxed by coaxing her. "Little beauty, don't be scared. I'm sorry for how rude my assistant was in his way of bringing you here, but I don't mean any harm. I didn't think we would ever meet again." He was so happy that his words almost made no sense.

However, the girl's next question threw him off his senses. "Again? Have we met before? Master Ji, do you have a misunderstanding about something?"

Ji Xiehan wished he could ram a brick against his head. Perhaps his brain wasn't working properly. "What are you saying? You don't think we have met before? Then how do you know my name?"

"You are Master Ji. Of course I would know you." she answered matter-of-factly, as though he had asked an elementary level question.

Ji Xiehan thought that perhaps their meeting wasn't as significant to her as it was to him. She was after all such a beautiful girl. It would not be surprising if many men fawned over her every other day.

He could only explain. "We met at Emerald Grand Hotel; you fell asleep in my room. However, in the morning you ran off before I could get any useful information about you. I have been looking for you for all this while and only saw you again today."

Even he himself was amazed at how long ago he made it sound. But to his heart, it did feel like ages ago.

Perhaps it was long enough for a girl to forget. "I have never met you before. I have seen men use this trick to hit in girls before and I have to say it's too worn out. Can you at least try to be a little creative?" She sneered.

Ji Xiehan couldn't conceal his shock. "You're kidding, right?"

"Do I look like I'm in the mood to joke around?"

"..."

Fine. You look like you are in the mood to fight.

He took a step closer and observed her keenly, as though she was part of an experiment. "Are you Lanni?"

The girl rolled her eyes. "You stalked and kidnapped me, yet you don't know my name?"

Ji Xiehan sighed. He was sure she was really Lanni. Why had she forgotten all about him? Was she... so muddled from the sleeping pills that night that she didn't remember any part of it?

While scrutinizing her, he didn't know just how scared the little beauty before him was. She only kept her fearless act up because of what her mother had said to her.

If such an unfortunate thing as being kidnapped happened to her, she should not cry and yell in fear. Fear only makes it easy for the kidnappers to grab onto the hostage's weakness. If she was not scared, the kidnappers might start to get fearful.

She had used this tactic to get out.

...

Ji Xiehan tossed.

He needed to investigate this Lanni girl. He was getting more interested in her by the minute.

...

The next day, someone reported what had happened.

"Miss Ji, last night master Ji met that girl."

Ji Feifei dropped the phone she was playing with to the floor. "What did you say?"

"He saw her at the amus.e.m.e.nt park earlier yesterday. Although I tried to distract him, he saw through me and ordered me to find miss Li Lanni and bring her to him."

Ji Feifei's expression couldn't get any darker. "What did they talk about?"

The assitant trembled. "How... how would I know? I wouldn't listen in on Master Ji's conversations. However, Master Ji left her on her own to handle company matters and when he returned, Miss Li Lanni kicked up a fuss about wanting to hurry back home, or her mother would be worried. They didn't talk much and Miss Li Lanni seemed to have forgotten about their first meeting.."

Ji Feifei didn't care about this. "Keep an eye on my brother."

"Miss Ji... I've been fired." the assistant said nervously. In the end, he couldn't keep his job because he had hidden such important information from his boss.

Although Ji Xiehan was a friendly man, no one could tolerate being decieved like that.

Even worse, he had not politely approached Li Lanni and explained to her that Ji Xiehan wanted to have a word with her. He had simply kidnapped the girl.

Of course, this was deliberate from the beginning. He was on Ji Feifei's side. How could he let Li Lanni have a good impression of Master Ji?

He narrated everything to Ji Feifei like a news reporter.

"Forget about him. From this moment, you are my bodyguard." Ji Feifei declared between her red lips.
