The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She glared right back at him. "What? Did anyone say we couldn't talk?" She harrumphed and remained silent. Cheng Yu wasn't in the mood to talk anyway. 

The driver deliberately kept using longer routes and going in circles, infuriating Li Lanni and Cheng Yu, then only drove to private property after an hour. 

Wait. A villa? 

"Go on in." The man instructed.

They went in as instructed. Li Lanni held Cheng Yu's shoulder. "Xiao Ying will be alright. I will not let anything happen to him." She didn't know why she was so confident either, but she just was. 

They entered the villa, the door shutting heavily behind them. They heard heavy and firm footsteps emanating from the corridor. 

They grew more anxious each second that passed, and just when they were about to break down, the man showed himself. 

"Jiang Xingyu!" Cheng Yu cursed. 

"I. Knew. It!" Li Lanni gritted her teeth. Who could kidnap anyone from Star Art International and even use the underground parking lot that was reserved for the important figures in the company? Who else could access the security cameras and know what exactly they were doing? No wonder she felt something was wrong with all this. 

"Nice to see you again, beauties." Jiang Xingyu beamed and went over to a couch. "Take your seats." 

He glanced at Li Lanni as though in disbelief. "You almost ruined my plan and landed me in trouble, do you know that?"

Li Lanni scoffed and ignored him. 

Jiang Xingyu didn't mind. "You both know why you're here, don't you?" 

Seeing that the culprit was Jiang Xingyu, both of them relaxed. Cheng Yu even dared to scold him. "You idiot! If you are doing this to get to my friend, I swear, I will not let you see her!" 

"Bloody fool. I will never let you go anywhere near my sister." Li Lanni spat. This disrespectful man did not deserve her sister. 

"Heh." Jiang Xingyu chuckled and looked at one of his bodyguards. "Bring the boy." 

In a few seconds, a buff bodyguard dragged a teenager in.

"Sis!" The boy tried to run to his sister as soon as he saw her. 

"Oh no, you don't!" Jiang Xingyu laughed and stopped him. "Your sister still has a task to do. If she doesn't...

He took out something from his pocket. It looked like a remote control but had a red button flickering on its center. 

"A detonator?!" Li Lanni freaked out. 

Cheng Yu was too shocked to say a word. 

"Yup. And the bomb is in his stomach. I will press the button if you do not ask Xia Luna to make her way here." 

Li Lanni gulped and glared at him. "Ha! Try another joke. No one's calling my sister over, and you are not pressing any button." 

"You have only been in her life for a few days, and this is none of your business, so shut up." Jiang Xingyu glared at her. If Li Lanni was not at the wrong place at the wrong time, he would have already made Cheng Yu reveal Xia Luna's whereabouts.

"You!" 

"This is between Xia Luna and I. You may be twins, but you don't get to make decisions for her. Don't anger me." He then turned to Cheng Yu. "Xiao Yu, what do you say? Do you want your brother back?" 

Cheng Yu saw how scared her brother was and cursed hundreds of times in her heart. No matter who she chose, she would have betrayed the other. 

Jiang Xingyu saw her uneasiness and asked one of the bodyguards for something. The man left the room and returned with a phone, Cheng Yu's phone. Jiang Xingyu gave it back to her. "Go ahead. Dial her number." 

Li Lanni so badly wanted to take off her hairpin and shove it at the man's neck, but the fool may really press the detonator. 

She could only watch bitterly as Cheng Yu dialed Xia Luna's number and gave the phone to Jiang Xingyu, which made her cringe. If he only wanted to call her, shouldn't he just have stolen her phone or Cheng Yu's? Why did he have to scare an innocent teenager in the process? 

Xia Luna picked the call after only one ring. "Xiao Yu, are you home yet? I..." 

"Xia Luna." Jiang Xingyu interrupted with a laugh. 

"Why do you have Xiao Yu's phone?" Xia Luna sounded startled. 

"Why don't you make a guess, honey?" He taunted, earning a fierce glare from Li Lanni, but he continued anyway. "I have the most interesting line up of the year right here with me. Want to hear it? Cheng Yu, Cheng Ying, and Li Lanni. Make your way here obediently or..."

"Damn you, Jiang Xingyu!"

Xia Luna was so angry that she could kill the bastard. How dare he kidnap the people she cared about? 

She knew exactly where he was: in his villa. So she changed at record speed and made her way there. 

Even though she had rushed, she didn't seem to have any sense of urgency - majorly because she knew that Jiang Xingyu wouldn't really hurt anyone for her. In fact, she would have ignored the situation and let him give up and send Cheng Yu back. But if Li Lanni was missing for too long, Li Yuming would be worried sick, and the last thing anyone wanted to be was for more people or the police to be involved. 

Xia Luna only arrived several minutes later, sauntering in like she owned the place and in male clothes and makeup that made her pass off as a young man instead of the delicate beauty she was. 

"Look who finally made their way in." Jiang Xingyu said with a chuckle, giving her a once over. 

"Luna, you shouldn't have come here." Li Lanni said with a tinge of worry in her voice, and Cheng Yu had the same thought despite knowing that if Xia Luna was the one who got kidnapped, both of them would rush over without hesitation.

Xia Luna walked right over to Jiang Xingyu and sat beside him, sparing Li Lanni a glance. "Don't worry sister, I needed to speak to him anyway." She looked at the man who was curiously studying her. "They can leave now, right?" 

"Of course." Jiang Xingyu held out a hand towards a bodyguard who gave him a new phone. He handed it to Li Lanni. "I owe you a phone." 

I don't need your charity." Li Lanni ignored it with a scoff. All she wanted to do right now was kill him. Why was her sister even agreeing to speak to him? But since Xia Luna insisted, she could only shoot the man a fierce warning glare and head out with Cheng Yu and Cheng Ying. 

"What about the bomb?" Cheng Yu asked worriedly as they stood. "Won't you remove it?" 

Before Jiang Xingyu could reply, the teenager looked up at Cheng Yu apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sis. I played along with him. There is no bomb. The detonator is fake too." 

When Li Lanni heard this, she had the urge to set an actual bomb in that villa. How dare that bastard use a child? 

Cheng Yu was speechless in anger and pinched his cheeks slightly. "Do you know how worried I was? How could you even play along with a stranger to prank your sister?" 

The boy was truly apologetic. "I didn't know he would make you so worried. Besides, he promised to give you a permanent, well-paying job, so you don't have to struggle anymore. He also promised that if you still couldn't take care of me, he would take me to a nice boarding school so you won't have to worry about me anymore. And if mother did anything to bother our peace, he would put her behind bars."

Cheng Yu was displeased. That man had used everything her brother cared about to trick him. She didn't even care whether what he promised the young chap was real or not. It was still wrong of him. 

Cheng Yu and Li Lanni were not the only ones that were angry and disappointed. Inside the villa, Xia Luna was even more furious. 

She was so angry that she remained silent and sat on the sofa obediently, in fear of losing control of herself if she did anything. 

"My love, you wrote a pretty long article. What now, cat got your tongue?" He teased her sarcastically.

"Jiang Xingyu, don't provoke me!" She gritted her teeth in anger. Who the heck was his love?! Wasn't he the one who cowered out of his so-called love? She glared at him, her eyes threatening to set him on fire.

"Oh, someone's got her claws and fiery eyes out. And may I know why you sound different?" Her voice was more profound than usual. It could pass off as a young man's, and in some way, it made him feel it was familiar. When she didn't answer, he asked another question. "May I know why you are wearing men's clothes?"
