The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

How could he forget about her? Ji Feifei had been thrown into jail and his parents neither did anything to stop that from happening nor to lighten the sentence. She wouldn't throw a fit by agreeing to sell her shares to the Ji family, would she? 

Li Lanni understood his concern and pondered over it a little. "Why don't you go and talk to her? Coax her a little. I don't think she would sell out the Ji family if she knew you still cared about herーit's her family too, after all."

"That's the thing. I don't still care about her, Lanni. I didn't even care to begin with." Ji Xiehan dismissed the idea. 

"Can't you just pretend for a bit?" Would that hurt?

"I can't." He said firmly. There was no way he was going to humor a woman who clearly wanted something different from being his sisterㄧsomething that clear-headed women would never want from their brothers. 

Li Lanni sighed with a slight shrug. "Then what are you going to do?" 

"I don't know if my parents are planning to humor her if they haven't been doing so already. If they are, I have nothing against it. But if they haven't and she decides to sell her shares as a way of revenging, there's nothing I can do about it." 

Li Lanni wanted to talk some sense into him. Did he realize that if Ji Feifei gave away her shares, that would be a whole ten percent less for the Ji family? They would have thirty-five percent and that would be dangerous. It would make it much easier for the Feng family to surpass them. 

But before she could open her mouth to scold him, she thought through it again. Ji Xiehan was tired. What he needed right now was a nice rest and a round of nagging wouldn't do anything significant to help. 

"So what are you going to do?" 

Li Lanni heard no response even after a while. She turned curiously and found that his eyes were tightly shut. He was even rhythmically breathing warm air onto her neck. She didn't want to move in fear of waking him up but after a while, her body felt sore. So she gently pulled his arms off her, got off his lap and eased his body onto the couch so he could sleep more comfortably. 

Left with nothing to do, she casually started looking through her phone. 

A headline suddenly popped up. Li Lanni was not able to read much of it before it was suddenly taken down, probably by Lin Media Group again, but she knew that it was definitely related to Feng Ji International again. 

"Hmm… who dares to defy Lin Media Group?" Lanni thought aloud. The previous news had already been taken down. Logically, no one would dare to report it again in fear of offending the Ji and Lin families unless… 

"Xiehan is here. Oh, he's asleep?" Li Yuming came downstairs and was surprised to see Ji Xiehan sleeping, his head rested against her daughter's lap. 

"Mom." Li Lanni only looked up but did not move in fear of waking him up. 

Li Yuming went over and sat on the couch closest to them. "He must be so tired and stressed about what is happening in his family's company. You should take better care of him during this period." 

"Y-yes." Lanni blushed furiously, understanding just what type of 'care' her mother was talking about. But would that really make him less tired? It should tire him out all the more, right? 

"Not just in one way, Lanni." Li Yuming knew what her daughter was thinking. That was not what she meantーwell, that too but not just that. "You should do something to help him out in the company as well." 

"Huh? Me?" Lanni pointed at herself in surprise. 

"Yes. Isn't that why he has a girlfriend?" Li Yuming looked at her daughter seriously. She still had a lot to learn. "Relationsh.i.p.s are not just about the fluff and fun. When one of you needs it, the other should help out." 

"But I know nothing about business." Lanni said. All she knew was comic art which she wasn't even confident in anymore. What would she know about business and how to save a company from the brink of being stolen over by someone else? Forget knowing how to save a company. How could she know how to do something that the whole Ji family was having trouble doing?

"You don't need to know much about business. You can just do what you can. You see, Xiehan probably has so much on his mind right now that he might oversee some things. Perhaps a third eye can see those." Li Yuming explained. 

Lanni felt like a light bulb had exploded in her head. That was right. Ji Xiehan could easily fail to see some things that might actually turn out to be important. "You're right. Now that you mention it, I'm surprised that the Feng family is suddenly so gutsy, considering they have been in the shadows for all this while. It happened so suddenly that it's as if they are being supported by someone." 

Li Lanni stopped her ramble and looked at the gossip page. "Or maybe, they are indeed being supported." 

"You could be right." Li Yuming said. "Now that you mention it, it seems to be the case. Just who could it be?" 

"Someone who can dare to openly go against the Ji family… could it be the Gu family? I remember they own a news group too." she speculated.

At the same time, in the Feng family home. 

"Here's to a happy collaboration." Old Master Feng raised a cup of beer to Old Gu. 

"I'm glad we are collaborating. Our children are getting married too." 

At the side, Feng Ci rolled her eyes. "What's the use? The Lin Media Group has already taken down the news before it even became anything worth talking about. 

Gu Tianxi rolled her eyes with a wineglass slotted between her knuckles. "That's easy peasy. You don't have to worry your pretty head, sister-in-law. Just focus your energy on spending time with my brother."
