The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

While she waited, she felt a burning gaze on her and she could swear that whoever it was meant harm. She turned to the source and saw the silhouette of a woman disappear into the night. Just as she was wondering whether to follow the woman and find out who she was, she felt a pair of warm hands wrap around her. 

She turned in shock and stared at Ji Xiehan who had just arrived, forgetting all about the woman.The man looked at her with a gentle smile. It had been a few days since they last saw and he had missed her terribly. He had been looking at her for the most part of the banquet, wishing to rush over to her and embrace her. When he finally saw her just now, he couldn't control himself from hugging her. 

Seeing her reaction, he coughed up an excuse. "Darling, there are people around. Do you forget that we still need to act like an engaged couple?" Right. The engagement. She had almost forgotten it existed. Li Lanni pulled away from him and burst into laughter. She looked at him dazedly as she admonished. "At this point, do you still need to use that worn out excuse? You have a brain, come up with something newer and more creative." Ji Xiehan coughed at her words but he didn't say anything to refute them. Indeed, he had used this excuse so many times that she must already know he was only using the whole engagement thing to get closer to her. "You know, you are too handsome to be using worn out pick-up lines and excuses." She continued with a slur then reached for his face to touch it. "Beside, do you even need an excuse? You can just use your face. Don't you think it's attractive enough?" Ji Xiehan was shocked. Since when did Li Lanni say such words? This was so unlike her! He didn't accidentally meet Xia Luna, right? Even then, her words made him overjoyed. So she found him attractive. His lips uncontrollably curled into a smile.

"Smile more. You are even more handsome when you smile. How charming!" She gushed and touched his lips, trying to pry them into a wider smile.

Ji Xiehan finally felt something was off. "Are you drunk?"

Looking at her properly, her gaze was a little unfocused. Now that he thought about it, she had drunk quite a bit when greeting the guests earlier. Perhaps the alcohol had kicked in slowly? That, or she had been holding up during the bid and couldn't hold it anymore.

"Who organized this banquet?" Ji Xiehan wondered. How could they make the bid happen after letting the guests drink?

"I don't… ah-cho!" She sneezed before she could complete her statement.

Ji Xiehan took off his coat immediately and placed it on her shoulders. "We should leave now or you will catch a cold."

"No." She shrugged his hands off and pleaded coyly. "I don't want to go home. It's so boring there. Let's stay here for a while, please… pretty please..."

Ji Xiehan rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Okay. Just for a few minutes then we will go home." He knew she would become sleepy anyway. Then he would carry her to his car and drive her home. There was no use arguing with a drunk.

Hearing that they didn't have to go home, Li Lanni was overjoyed. She threw herself into his embrace, letting the coat fall off her shoulders in the process.

Ji Xiehan froze. What was this?

Li Lanni was saddened that he did not make a move to hug her.

"Hug me." She slurred.

Ji Xiehan swallowed and wrapped his arms around her. Happy now, Li Lanni nestled in his embrace like a clingy kitten.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, Feng Ci just happened to see this scene. She had looked for Ji Xiehan for a while after the guests started dispersing. After searching for a while, someone said to have seen him heading to the back of the hotel. She had hurriedly gone over hoping to have a word with him but what kind of scene was this? How could Ji Xiehan not see her ethereal beauty and intelligence? How could he fall for some little barbie instead? Just because she was younger? She frowned and went her way. She would make that little brat pay!

Neither Li Lanni nor Ji Xiehan saw the angry Feng Ci. They went ahead hugging like there was only the two of them in the world. Li Lanni was about to drift into sleep on his comfortable chest but just when he moved to check on her, she was startled and grabbed onto his shirt. "Don't go..."

Her pitiful voice tugged at Ji Xiehan's heartstrings. "Okay. I won't leave."

Li Lanni smiled and held his neck possessively, as though she was protecting her treasure from being snatched away. She felt his neck and poked at it curiously. As though she had made a discovery, she poked again.

"What are you doing?" Ji Xiehan couldn't understand her antics.

"So… soft." She poked his neck again. As though for confirmation, she trailed her finger lower and poked his collarbone through his shirt. Feeling the fabric, she frowned, finding his shirt annoying. So she grabbed his tie and yanked it off.

Ji Xiehan was startled by her actions. Did this girl know what she was doing? He grabbed her hand and pulled it away from his neck. "Stop it."

Li Lanni looked up at him pitifully. "Why can't I touch your skin?"

Ji Xiehan almost relented and let her do anything she wanted but his rationality yelled at him. "You are drunk, Lanni. Let's go home."

"I'm not drunk." She retorted.

"Hm. You're not drunk. Can we go home now?"

"I'm really not drunk." She was not an idiot. She knew that he didn't believe her.

"Okay." He agreed with her and took her hand, intending to lead her away.

She shoved his hand away with a huff. "You don't believe me! I'll prove to you that I'm not drunk." She created a short distance between them and crossed her arms. "The banquet just ended. We are behind the hotel and the moon is bright. Which is a coincidence because…"

She inched closer to him. "Because we are just about to have our second official kiss." She pulled him by his collar and pressed her lips onto his.

That took him by surprise. Before he could do anything, she deepened the kiss and tried to pry his lips apart. The girl seemed to know what she was doing, and it set his belly on fire. He held the small of her waist to support her and responded to her kiss by slipping his tongue into her mouth, which she gladly allowed him to. They only paused a little to breath.

Li Lanni gasped as she looked at him. "I've been wanting to do this since we last kissed."

"What?"

She answered by crashing her lips back to his, using her kiss to express all her need and desire for him. Ji Xiehan was still a little surprised. This was so unlike her. Even then, he immersed himself in the moment. It was only when he felt her uncontrollably reach for the buttons on his shirt that he reluctantly broke the kiss. It wouldn't end decently if they kept kissing here.

"What is it? You don't want to kiss me?" With her cheeks flushed, Li Lanni complained.

"It's not decent of us to keep kissing here." He explained.

"So what? This is a hotel. One can do anything her, why can't we?" She harrumphed. "If you don't like the moonlight, we can just get a room here."

Ji Xiehan chuckled. Just what kind of wine did she drink? Before she could actually drag him to a hotel room, he dragged her to his car and shoved her in before she could protest.

"Be good." He admonished when she looked like she wanted to get out.

"Oh." Li Lanni looked sad.

Ji Xiehan chuckled and kissed her cheek. Her eyes brightened up, making him want to tease her a little more. Why was she so cute when she was slightly drunk?
