The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Mom, Xiehan and I are going to Europe on Tuesday for one week." Li Lanni's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. 

She smiled at the great news. "Lovely! You guys have fun. What's your relationship now?" 

Li Lanni's cheeks flushed as she thought about what had transpired in the parking the previous night. "We're dating… I guess." That's what happens after a confession, right? 

Li Yuming uncontrollably pulled her into a hug. "Oh, I'm so happy for you! You blockheads finally decided to take things to the next step. I was starting to think I would have to pretend to be cupid and step in between the two of you. 

Li Lanni giggled at the thought of it. Her mother playing cupid? She might just invite Ji Xiehan for a meal and trick the two of them into Li Lanni's room, then lock them in and wait for them to do something interesting. "I'm glad it didn't get to that." 

_ 

Old Ji Mansion. 

Ji Xiehan went home for breakfast today. 

It was worth noting that ever since Ji Feifei was jailed, Ji Xiehan was spending more time at home. 

It downed on Ji Huifen and his wife belatedly, that their son hated their daughter so much that he didn't want to go home, just so he would evade her. 

No matter what, that was no longer important. The girl was probably learning her lesson now. 

The hearing would be held in a few days. They were sure she was going to be given a heavy sentence because of her involvement with drugs. Fortunately, all the tests done on her for drugs came out negative. Hopefully, she would have changed for the better once her term was over. 

It was not the right time to be thinking about her, Wen Lin brought up the matter that she and her husband had been mulling over. "Xiehan, when are you and Lanni going to start planning your wedding?" 

"We are here if you need any help. We can recommend the agency that planned our own wedding. They are even better at it now that all these years have passed." Ji Huifen suggested. 

"Yes. They will give you the best wedding of the century. What kind of wedding does Lanni like? With her character, I think she would like something not too grand. You know, a wedding is a woman's most important day. Make sure she loves it." 

"Mother…" 

"Right! I know a very good wedding gown designer from the time Jiang Xingyu's mother got married. I can recommend him to you." 

"Mother…" 

Ji Xiehan was interrupted once again. "Ah! I know just where to get the perfect outfit for your dad and I. Of course we should look great on our son's big…" 

"Lin, our son looks like he has something to say." Ji Huifen nudged his wife. 

Finally having a chance to speak, Ji Xiehan looked at his father gratefully. "Mother, " 

He was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say. He and Li Lanni had only started dating less than twenty four hours ago. Although he had been wooing her with marriage in mind, it was too early to even talk about it with her. How could his mother be going on and on about wedding planning? 

But then again, his parents were still under the impression that he and Li Lanni were engaged. There was nothing wrong with them asking about when they were getting married. He could only say, "Lanni is still in school. Besides, she thinks she is too young to get married." 

His second statement made Wen Lin realize it. "Right. How could I be so impatient? Lanni is only twenty. When you guys are ready, you can start to plan your wedding." 

Ji Xiehan was relieved. Crisis averted. 

…

Li Lanni suddenly clutched her chest. 

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Li Yuming asked worriedly.  

Li Lanni frowned. What was that weird feeling? "I'm okay. I just felt uncomfortable for a moment." 

"How is Luna anyway? I haven't heard from her since yesterday." It was supposed to be a mumble but Li Yuming heard it. 

"You are still keeping in touch with that girl?" 

"Yes." Li Lanni didn't deny it. 

Li Yuming was displeased but she couldn't say anything after all. Li Lanni and Xia Luna were identical twins. Trying to separate them when they had already formed a bond of sorts was only going to give her a headache. She would later explain to Li Lanni just why she shouldn't get close to Xia Luna. For now, she could only let the bodyguards protect Li Lanni from a distance. 

___

At the same time, Lakeside City Hospital. 

It was late the previous night and Xia Luna couldn't hail any cab. Hence she blinked the night away and left as soon as she could hail one. 

Once she arrived, she rapidly paid and ran all the way to the twefth floor, to room 1204 where Xia Hanchen was staying. 

Her hands trembled as she touched the door, scared that if she pushed it open, she might see something she wasn't ready to see. 

Taking a deep breath, she slowly pushed the door open… 

The ward was empty. 

No way! 

Her eyes widened as she swallowed hard. Her dad was not there.

Her legs weakened. How could this be? She had been too late after all… 

She slumped onto the floor, tears streaming down her face as her shoulders shook violently. 

A series of slow claps rang through the air. 

Xia Luna had a bad premonition. She turned to look at the woman who had just walked in. 

"Oh-lala! Look who we have here." Li Xiyan crossed her arms against her voluptuous chest. "Xia Luna in the flesh." 

Xia Luna cursed inwardly but her expression remained indifferent. Had she been tricked by Li Xiyan? Did she just fall for it like an idiot? 

"Aww something good came out of this after all…" she snickered. 

Last night, the doctors had called her and told her the worst news ever; Xia Hanchen's condition had gotten better! 

Can you imagine it? After all the efforts she had used to silence that old fart, he had gotten better?! 

That was right. She had been trying to kill him. What was his use anyway? He was just a waste of space. 

All these years, she had tried every means to make him fall in love with her; and that included directly imitating Li Yuming. However, the fool had refused to see what a beauty she was and had been hung up on that witch. Just what did that Li Yuming do to him to make him so enchanted? 

However, fate 

She knew that she could absolutely not kill him directly as that would be too obvious. So she could only  mess up with his medication. 

How could he still survive that? Just how strong was his desire to live? 

She was still angry after being informed of that the previous night when shr remembered something that made her smile. 

She had been informed by her assistant that someone was spying on her. If whoever that was told Xia Luna that she had rushed back to Lakeside, that girl would obviously go running. 

And now here she was, right in her grasp. 

"Oh Xia Luna, I missed you! Youa re finally back. I guess the police miss you more?" 

"Hahaha…" Xia Luna laughed sarcastically. "Miss Li Xiyan, I guess you need to have your eyes checked. Is your vision clouded because of old age?" 

"You!" 

"Am I wrong?" Xia Luna crossed her arms too. Take a good look at me. You don't think there's anything wrong with your eyes, Miss Li?" 

Li Xiyan lost her confidence in a flash, staring at Xia Luna like she was seeing a ghost. "Li Lanni…" 

"Hmph." Xia Luna closed in on her, glad that she was not wearing anything that could directly give her away as Xia Luna. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a simple top, something anyone could wear. She was also happy that she had been too rushed to think of disguising herself. She could easily pass off as her sister. This was the last resort she had thought of in a moment of urgency but still the best. 

"Li Xiyan, how have you been?" She whispered into the middle aged woman's ear. 

Li Xiyan was spooked, finding 'Li Lanni''s taunting as scary as that of a ghost. 

"Stop pretending Xia Luna… L.. Li Lanni doesn't know me." 

"Oh really?" Xia Luna circled her tauntingly. "Is there… a reason why I shouldn't know you?" 

She stopped behind Li Xiyan to half-whisper. "But, Miss Li, we have a very interesting past together. How could I forget you?" 

Li Xiyan felt her back go cold. Interesting past… could it be? 

Had Li Lanni found out what she did months ago? 

But that was not right. Li Lanni had amnesia, didn't she? 

"Oh, I would really love to catch up with you but I need to go now. Adios!"
