The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Ji Xiehan fastened her seat belt while she was still being obedient then hurriedly went over to the driver's seat and started the car.  He only hoped she wouldn't do anything silly while he drove. 

When they arrived at Li Yuming's villa, he was relieved. The stubborn little thing had been quite good. She had even closed her eyes, probably asleep. With a smile and a small sigh, he pulled up and left the car. Then he circled over to the passenger side and opened the door for her. 

Seeing that she was asleep, he didn't want to wake her up. He unfastened the seat belt and gently carried her out of the car, intending to take her into the house. Alas, the little devil chose this moment to wake up.

When Li Lanni saw the familiar building, she clung to his shirt as though he was dragging her to hell. "Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you home." He patiently explained. He thought that she would calm down but she tried to leap off his arms. "I don't want to go!"

Ji Xiehan pressed a kiss on her forehead to pacify  her. "You should rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow and take you to a place of your choice, okay?"

Li Lanni was not even listening. She clutched his clothes tightly like her life depended on it and  kept shaking her head vigorously. "I don't want to! Don't want to, don't want to…"

When he ignored her pleas and went ahead towards the villa, she sniffled and looked so pitiful that he could swear she was going to cry.

Ji Xiehan was helpless. Did girls usually turn into babies when they were drunk? Since he had been turned into a 'baby'-sitter, he could only accept his fate and patiently ask. "Where do you want to go?"

"To your house!"

"..."

Where did she just say she wanted to go? 

Seeing that he was not saying anything, she blinked her eyes and urged. "I want to go your house. Can we, can we?"

Ji Xiehan was at a loss for words. What exactly had Li Lanni drunk tonight? It was already shocking enough that she had been clingy earlier. Now she even wanted to spend the night at his house?

…

Upstairs.

A while ago, Li Yuming was wondering what was taking Li Lanni so long and whether she was coming back home. Earlier when the banquet ended, she had wanted to call her and return home together.

But when she finally found her, she was greeted with the scene of her and Ji Xiehan kissing passionately. Her daughter even looked like she wanted to strip Ji Xiehan right there and have her way with him.

She blushed and hurried away. Never mind. Ji Xiehan would drop her off.

After waiting for a while and seeing no sign of them, she concluded that they were probably going to spend the night together. Just the thought of it made her smile. Her baby was finally willing to trust someone!

But thinking about it, Li Lanni had once said that she couldn't afford to get pregnant now. And the last time she saw her, the latter seemed to be a bit drunk. She might forget this. Perhaps she should remind them to use protection? Morning after pills could affect a woman's body. It would be better if Lanni didn't use those. Since Lanni was drunk, she might as well send the message to Ji Xiehan. It wouldn't be awkward. After all, it would just be like reminding her own son.

While she still wondered how to compose the message, she heard a car pull in. She peeked outside through her window and indeed, it was the intoxicated pair. Perhaps she didn't need to send the message anymore.

She was still thinking this way when she witnessed the mini drama of her daughter refusing to go home. She let out her chuckle. What kind of situation was that? Then Ji Xiehan simply took her back to the car and drove off. Li Yuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So she should really send the message, right?

Ji Xiehan's Highbridge Mansion.

One hour later.

After bringing the troublemaking drunk  to his house, she was calm once again. She definitely was not the same little devil that had made him almost lose his mind just because she didn't want to go to her own home because she thought it was boring.

Munching on a bar of chocolate she had insisted on making him buy on their way here, she had on a satisfied expression as she watched him change the sheets. If she was sober, he would have let her stay in his room. However, there was no way he was going to take advantage of her drunken state. That was why he was changing the beddings to let her sleep in the guest room.

After getting the bed ready, he ran a bath and waited for her to finish her chocolate bar. When she was done, he had to laugh. She had some of the chocolate stuck onto her face and hands. He shook his head.

And yet earlier she was claiming to be sober.

He led her to the bathroom. But the little devil adamantly refused to take a bath unless he was going to bathe with her. How could he do that?! She was drunk!

Thus he led her back to the bed and let her sit on it, then he went back to the bathroom and returned with a damp towel which he used to wipe her face and hands.

Then he let a maid change her out of her clothes into the sleepwear he had bought along with the chocolate earlier. She pouted in disappointment about not being able to bathe with him but when he tucked her in and kissed her face, she was happier.

"Go to sleep. Goodnight." He said, to which she nodded. He sighed in relief. That was a huge test of his patience.

"Where are you going?" She asked when she saw him leave the room.

"To sleep." Ji Xiehan really wanted to run away. She was not going to protest against this, right? Well, he was right. The girl moved to one side, patting the huge space she had left for him.

"There is enough space. Just sleep here."

Ji Xiehan scratched his head. Where exactly was this headed? This time, he couldn't accommodate her no matter what. "Lanni, you are drunk and… you definitely don't know what you are saying. Go to sleep, okay? Let's talk more when you wake up."

She covered her head to ignore him, then a few seconds later, sulkily peeked out from the covers and looked at him. "Why do you have to make a big deal out of everything? You meanie… I only want you to hold me… like you did that night. Is that too selfish of me?"

Once again, he lost to her words. He could only hope that be would be able to control himself.

To her delight, he lifted the covers and lay beside her. She snuggled up to him and took a sniff. "You smell nice."

Ji Xiehan didn't know what to say to that. "Mmh. Let's go to sleep."

"Mmh. Goodnight, I love you." She mumbled.

!!

What did she just say?!
