The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The next morning. 

"Aaah--!" Li Lanni pulled at her hair. 

How.could.she?! 

She really wanted to slap herself when she recalled all the things she had done the previous night. 

She had kissed Ji Xiehan. On the lips! She had even told him that she had wanted to do it since their last kiss by the fountain. Aah! 

That was not even the end of it. It was just the start. She had also refused to go home and insisted on going to his mansion instead. As if that was not embarassing enough, she had literally pleaded with him to sleep on the same bed with her?!

Could it get any more absurd? 

Hearing her scream, Ji Xiehan rushed from the kitchen to check on her. "What's wrong?" 

Li Lanni didn't have the courage to face him. She had caused so much trouble last night, how embarrassing! "I… I…" 

She didn't know the right words to say. "L… about last night…" 

Ji Xiehan stifled a laugh. So she was worried about what had unfolded the previous night. 

Actually, he hadn't been troubled by any of the things she did. She had not caused any significant trouble or broken anything. 

Except the words she had mindlessly mumbled before falling into a deep slumber. Those had made his heart race so fast that he was unable to sleep. He had been scared that if he slept, he would wake up to find that it had been a dream and she had said no such thing. 

After staying up for the better part of the night, he had scolded himself for being silly. How could he believe the words of a drunk? Wouldn't that be absurd? 

Seeing her look at him so apologetically, he was even more sure that those were nothing but drunken words. "It was nothing. Freshen up, I'll go back to continue preparing breakfast." He left the room after saying this. 

When Li Lanni saw him leave the room like that, she had a feeling she had forgotten something. Why did it feel like he wanted to ask her something but changed his mind in the last minute? 

What was she forgetting? 

After racking her brains for a while, she couldn't remember anything. So she took a bath.

When she was done, there was a dress and everything else she needed on the bed. That included underwear and it made her blush. Surely Ji Xiehan wasn't the one who bought these, right? She didn't want to ask. It was probably him. That made her wonder, who changed her clothes last night? Her cheeks burned. Just how much trouble had he gone through for her? 

When she was done changing, she made her way downstairs. Ji Xiehan was done cooking breakfast and called her to eat. 

Li Lanni chewed on a slice of ham. Ji Xiehan's skill in the kitchen was just as good as his skill in business. That, and the fact that he had put in a lot of effort, made it more delicious than those delicacies made by experienced chefs. She almost ate too much without realizing it. 

Only when they were done did she remember the matter at hand and looked at him awkwardly. "Thank you for taking care of me last night…" and for not taking advantage of her. She knew that a woman causing such trouble and being clingy was tempting to a man. The fact that he did not take the chance to have her way with her proved just how much respect he had for himself and for her. 

Besides, she did not wake up with a headache as many people would after drinking a little too much. He must have given her hangover soup and she must have been too drunk or sleepy to remember it. 

Ji Xiehan's response was detached. "Mmh." 

Li Lanni glanced at him and studied his expressionless face. Was he mad at her? Did she do something to upset him? 

"Did I… do something wrong?" She hesitantly asked. 

Ji Xiehan looked at her seriously. "Do you have something to tell me?" 

Li Lanni thought hard about it. Did she have something to tell him? 

Her mind suddenly darted to the fact that she had wanted to tell him about her feelings. She opened her mouth but before the words came out, she held back. It was definitely not the right time for that. 

So she shook her head and shot the question back at him. "Do you have something to tell me?" Seeing that he wasn't speaking, she nervously clenched her lips. "If I caused too much trouble last night or said anything I shouldn't, I'm sorry. Please don't take it to heart."

Her words pulled him out of this thoughts. He looked at her with a frown. Even though he already knew that she had said what she did the previous night as a result of her drunken stupor, he had still hoped that she meant it when she said that she loved him. Now she was apologising for it? It would be a lie if he said that he was not disappointed. However, asking her about it right now might just make her uncomfortable. "Nothing happened last night. Let's not talk about it anymore." 

Seeing that he no longer wanted to talk about the previous night, she nodded and sunk into her own thoughts. 

She remembered that before Ji Xiehan appeared, she had seen someone. That woman made her heart shiver. She must be a dangerous person. Li Lanni trusted her instinct and this time was no different. Just who was that woman? 

Who could she ask? Xia Luna? 

Now that she thought about it, she still had something that she had forgotten to ask Xia Luna. She had meant to ask about that boy from before, the one who had claimed to know her. She could ask about both. Besides, there were still matters that they needed to discuss together. 

After calling and explaining to her mother that she would only go home later, she wanted to hail a cab. 

However, Ji Xiehan frowned at her. "I'll drop you off wherever you want to go." 

"Oh…" she could only agree. 

Though she had to say, she was used to the cheerful Ji Xiehan. This cold version of him was novel and not in a good way.
