The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Stop right there!" Li Xiyan shouted when Xia Luna walked past her and was just about to touch the door. 

Xia Luna froze. Did she see through her? Even so, she turned sweetly with a smile that one couldn't comprehend. "Do you need anything else?" 

Li Xiyan closed in on her to check every inch of Xia Luna. Was this really not Xia Luna? She had already heard that Li Lanni and Xia Luna were an identical copy of each other. Having been born conjoined, they were even more identical than other identical twins. 

However, was this really not Xia Luna? 

After thinking through it severally, she scoffed. "Nice try Xia Luna, I almost got fooled." 

Xia Luna remained indifferent even though her heart was almost popping out of her chest through her throat. 

"So, a wanted criminal is  right before me. Wouldn't I be a bad citizen if I didn't call the police?" 

Xia Luna let out a low 'hmph'. "Are you sure you are not talking to yourself?" 

She took out her phone and laughed. "Do you need help calling the police? It will save me the trouble of having to go to the police station." 

Li Xiyan was hesitant. That sounded so much like Li Lanni. Xia Luna was not one to talk so much. She would rather get violent. 

"What, are you scared already? Oh don't worry. The police don't bite." 

Li Xiyan initially had her doubts but now she was sure that the girl before her was Li Lanni. 

'But that doesn't make any sense.' She thought. 'Lanni wouldn't be so close to Hanchen.' 

She had clearly seen how dejected the girl was when she saw that her father was no longer in the ward. She must have thought too much of it. But then again, Li Lanni was his daughter too. She would be sad as well. 

… 

Xia Luna used the opportunity when Li Xiyan was confused to slip away. 

She went to have a quick word with Xia Hanchen's attending physician.

The middle aged man pulled Xia Luna aside, also under the impression that she was Li Lanni. 

"Your father got better. He will be awake in a month to two." 

Xia Luna was relieved. So it was the opposite of what she thought. She had thought that her father's condition had worsened but on the contrary, he had gotten better? 

"However, I must warn you." The doctor continued. "Your stepmother has been trying to hurt him. She tried to hire me to do something to him." 

He was nervous when he saw Xia Luna's shocked expression and quickly explained. "I swear, I didn't do it. Your sister is such a nice girl. For her sake, I would never hurt your father." 

Xia Luna's heart softened. So that was what Doctor Zhao thought of her. She had always thought of him as a father figure. 

"How is your sister? Is she alright? It's been long since she last dropped by." 

"Yes. She's fine." She almost said that she was Xia Luna but on second thought, it was better if few people knew about her whereabouts. "Thank you for not hurting my father." 

She said sincerely. 

"It's nothing. If I did such a thing to my patients, that would be against my ethics as a doctor." Doctor Zhao said modestly. 

"Even so, I still need to thank you." 

Heaven knew what kind of human being Li Xiyan was. She liked to play with people's weaknesses and using them to lure them into working for her. It was rare that anyone would still stand their ground against her.

"Can I see him?" 

"Of course. We transfered him to the recovery ward. This way." He led the way and Xia Luna followed. 

Once she entered the ward, she emotionally hugged Xia Hanchen. "Dad…" 

Her tears flowed freely. 

After all that tension, she was finally seeing her father and he was even getting better. 

She sat by his side, resting her head next to him, her heart finally calming down. 

At that moment, her phone rang. 

She was about to go out to recieve the call but when she saw who the caller was, she smiled and recieved it right there. 

"Lanni?" 

She could have sworn that when she said her sister's name aloud, Xia Hanchen's eyelashes shook a little. 

"Luna, where are you?" Li Lanni's worried voice came through the speaker. 

"I'm in Lakeside City hospital." 

"Hospital? Are you okay?" 

"I'm fine." Xia Luna smiled when she saw that her father seemed to make slight movements. If she knew that her father would be so responsive just by hearing Li Lanni's name, she would have done this ages ago. 

"Then why are you at the hospital?" Li Lanni remembered what Xia Luna had said about their father's medical condition when she asked about it. "Did you go to visit our father?" 

"Yes." Xia Luna suddenly didn't know what to say. If Xia Hanchen was awake, she would have asked Li Lanni to say a few words to him… 

"I just wanted to know if you're alright. I had a sudden bad feeling… "

Xia Luna was about to say something when she saw Li Xiyan approaching. "I'll talk to you later." 

Li Xiyan sauntered in and like the loving wife she was pretending  to be, threw her arms around Xia Hanchen to sob her fake tears out; making Xia Luna so disgusted that she almost tore off her fake mask right there. However, she had no evidence of her trying to bribe Doctor Zhao. She would have to get that first. For now, she could only scoff at the side and make a mental note to disinfect him once the witch left. 

…

Xia Luna only left the hospital once she was sure that Li Xiyan had left. Knowing that the witch must be keeping an eye on her, she kept up her 'Li Lanni' front and didn't go back to the Xia home even though she really wanted to. 

She went back to B City as soon as she left the hospital. Her expression darkened as she thought of how Li Xiyan had managed to trap her. She had some matters to discuss with Cheng Yu.
