The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"How did she even know she was being followed?" Xia Luna questioned, pulling her legs under her on the couch. 

Cheng Yu put aside the freshly squeezed orange juice she was drinking, realization downing on her. "That woman…" 

"What woman?" Xia Luna asked. 

"Li Xiyan's assistant. I didn't think she would back out." 

Cheng Yu went ahead to explain how she had got Li Xiyan's assistant to collaborate with her. She had already heard rumors about Li Xiyan bullying her assistant. Using this and promising to help her pull away from Li Xiyan, she got the woman to agree to keep an eye on Li Xiyan. 

"She even tearfully thanked me for promising to help her. I didn't think she would turn on her word." 

Xia Luna rubbed her temples. "How naive can you get? Just because she thanked you, you think she was being sincere and would betray her master for you? Do you even know why she is still working for Li Xiyan despite being tortured?" 

Cheng Yu shook her head. She didn't think about this. 

"It's because Li Xiyan has dirt on her. That assistant might look innocent but in real sense, she is a dangerous person. She killed her own child." 

"What?" Cheng Yu whispered in shock. 

"Yeah. Apparently, she got pregnant for the wrong guy. Pretty much the same story as Li Xiyan's except, when the man rejected her even after the baby was born, she thought it better to kill the innocent little thing than have to take care of an abandoned child." 

"How awful…" Cheng Yu had an expression like she had swallowed a fly. How could one be so heartless to her own child? Was she even human?

But then again, there were such mothers. Hers didn't murder her as a baby but she was not any different. 

"She dumped the baby in a fountain amd Li Xiyan saw her doing that. Of course, she recorded it as well. That's how she got the woman to work for her for all these years and forced her to be loyal despite torturing her endlessly." 

Cheng Yu did not know what to say after hearing that. What could anyone say about such a thing? 

No wonder despite the presence of such a weakness by Li Xiyan's side, the latter had not used her in the past. 

In actual fact, Xia Luna had thought of doing so. But being the careful person that life had made her, she had to thoroughly investigate everything about a person before even thinking of making a deal with them. That was how she came to know of that woman's past. 

Besides, someone that could be so heartless as to kill their own baby wouldn't flinch when she got tempted to betray her. 

"Sorry Luna." Cheng Yu was so ashamed of herself. "You have helped me so many times that I wanted to do something for you too. I saw that you had forgotten all about this so I wanted to do it for you. Little did I know that it would land you right into the enemy's trap!" 

"Xiao Yu, you shouldn't be sorry. You meant well and oh well… we all make mistakes sometimes." 

Since that was settled, there only one more thing left for her to do: she should explain to Li Lanni what she had done at the hospital. Although she knew that Li Xiyan wouldn't really see through what had happened, it was still safe to take precaution. That witch might try to look into it if she had even a sliver of suspicion.

When Li Lanni learnt about what had happened, she knew what to do. After all, no one would look into what she had done since the night before. She could just fake having gone to Lakeside City if anyone asked her. 

After waiting for Ji Xiehan for what felt like several hours, he finally called her. 

She picked her phone with her lips uncontrollably forming a smile. "Hello." 

"I'm coming to pick you up." 

He was brief and hung up before she could ask any questions. 

Li Lanni looked at her phone with a raised eyebrow. What did he mean by an expressionless 'I'm going to pick you up'? 

What was she supposed to do, pack up and wait at the door or something? 

Checkimg through the closet, she found a purple sleeveless dress and changed into it. Perhaps Ji Xiehan was taking her somewhere for fun. 

Ji Xiehan did not make her wait for too long; arriving only half an hour later. 

"You look beautiful." He said as he hugged her. He meant it but then again, he would find her beautiful no matter what she wore. 

Li Lanni hugged him back and entered the car when he opened the passenger door for her. 

"Where are we going?" She asked as she fastened the seat belt. 

"Haha." 

"Why are you laughing?" 

Ji Xiehan turned to her teasingly. "You entered the car and fastened your seatbelt before you thought to ask where I'm taking you. Aren't you scared I can kidnap you and sell you off?" 

Li Lanni found herself a little silly too. But, "Xiehan, even if you wanted to sell me, I would gladly go." 

Ji Xiehan held her chin between his thumb and index finger. "Did you eat honey?" 

"Only one way to find out." She teased, to which he responded by pressing his lips against hers. 

It was only a slight kiss, and he pulled away before she could have enough of it. 

He laughed when he saw her silly dissatisfied pout. "That's enough for now. We are going over to my parents' for lunch." 

Li Lanni tittered. Was he trying to say that he didn't want them to do the walk of shame to his parents' mansion? Her second reaction was to look down at herself. "You should have told me before. I would have worn something more decent for meeting the in-laws." 

Ji Xiehan was pleased by how she had called his parents. He smiled and looked at her dress. "What's wrong with what you're wearing?" 

"Isn't it a bit too revealing?" 

He frowned slightly. Not because he was afraid it was too showy for his parents' liking but because he was jealous at the thought of other people getting to see her skin. If only he could bundle her up so she wouldn't show any skin…
