The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

In annoyance, she dragged Mark away before he could do something that would embarrass her. 

"What do you think you are doing?" she could be heard hollering as soon as she thought she was far enough. 

Lanni simply laughed at them. "I bet she was trying to make you jealous." 

"Oh." 

She tilted her head to look at him curiously. "Oh? That's all you're gonna say?" 

"What else am I supposed to say, my love? That I'm jealous? Well, I'm not." He countered, not caring that he was being so brutally honest. 

"I don't understand why such a beautiful and smart woman would be so lost in love that she would go crazy from the obsession." It was meant to be a mumble, but it was loud enough for Ji Xiehan to hear. 

"Smart?" He frowned, wondering whether his girlfriend's definition of the word was different from everyone else's. 

"Not my words! People say she's smart." She quickly shrugged, making Ji Xiehan chuckle. 

"It's just to satisfy her pride." He said as a response to her curiosity. In actual fact, Feng Ci was beautiful, talented and basically what any man would hope for ーbefore she got angry. Once she lost her temper, all the so-called smartness would go down the drain at a super speed. 

If he had never met Lanni, perhaps he would have ignored all this and chosen to be with her considering their past friendship. He might have even married her if she truly loved him. However, what she felt was far from love. At first, she tried to be with him because her parents wanted her to. When she realized that he had no interest in her, she became obsessed with the intention to make him love her just to satisfy her pride. Who would want that? 

"Let's go somewhere else. I've got everything I wanted." Lanni urged, the enthusiasm in her voice slightly faded. 

"Are you and Mark familiar with each other?" He suddenly inquired, making her stop in her tracks with a puzzled expression. 

"How did you come to such a conclusion?" 

"From the way he was looking at you…" As a man, he knew that Mark was not looking at Li Lanni because he was fascinated by her. It was the gaze of someone who had finally seen someone he had not seen in a long time. 

"I've been meeting so many weirdos lately. He's just one of them." Lanni dismissed with an indifferent shrug.

Later, Ji Xiehan and Lanni went back to their hotel room. 

Their stay in Germany would have been perfect if Feng Ci did not follow them. Although they were trying to ignore her presence and they still enjoyed the few minutes that she did not appear before them, it was still apparent that their vacation was nothing like they had expected. 

While they ate dinner that evening, Ji Xiehan brought the train tickets he had booked for France. He passed them to her with a grin. "I wanted to surprise you so I didn't tell you this before. We are changing plans so Feng Ci doesn't follow us." 

"That's a good idea." Li Lanni agreed, hoping that they would have an actual good time in France. 

At the same time, in the next room. 

"Hello…what?" Feng Ci exclaimed when she heard what her father just said. "No way dad!" 

"I'm being serious." Old Master Feng said on the other end. "You better get back home right away." 

"But dad, I'm still executing my plan. I even got a little closer to Xiehan." Technically, she was not lying. Their rooms were only separated by a wall. Her father couldn't hear any of it. 

…

The next day, the couple went to France as planned. The weather was nice and so was the view from their hotel room. 

"This is parfait! Nothing can go wrong now." Li Lanni exclaimed in excitement as they entered their room. Everything about it was romanticㄧand it was not just about the red curtains or the wine at the bedside tableㄧeven the very air had the scent of love in it. Or maybe it was just because she had heard the news that Feng Ci had gone back to Country C. 

That was right. Feng Ci had in fact taken the first flight back. Heaven knew why, but it was none of Lanni's business. As long as she was out of their way. 

At that moment, Ji Xiehan's phone rang. He signaled to her that he was going to pick it before going to the window. 

It was brief but when he was back, Li Lanni felt something was off. 

"Is something wrong?" She asked. 

Ji Xiehan looked like he had lost half of his life. "My father just called." 

"And?" She felt something bad coming. 

"Something seems to have happened at the company. I may have to hold a video conference, or several of them." He replied, unsure of whether he would be able to solve the issue that way. After all, he was hundreds of miles away and he didn't even know what the problem was all about. Could he really solve it on a video call? 

He doubted that... 

Li Lanni clearly saw the doubt in his eyes and knew what he was thinking. The best way was probably to go back home so he would actually find out what the matter was and how to solve it. However, he must he afraid to ruin her holiday so he didn't want to end it prematurely. 

She wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug and kissed his cheek slightly. "Xiehan, I know what you should do." 

"But honey, this is our first vacation together. And I suggested it to calm your mind." 

Yeah, that. She had almost forgotten how uneasy she had been before Ji Xiehan suggested going on a vacation.

" But even then, "Xiehan, it doesn't matter. We have many more chances to spend time together. On the other hand, the company might suffer humongous losses if we do not go back." 

Ji Xiehan hugged her. She was right. Indeed, they wouldn't have called him if the matter wasn't serious and judging by Old Master Ji's tone, something must have gone terribly wrong.

Hence, just like that, they took the earliest flight out of France.
