The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper
Chapter 188 - Warm, damp, handsome wall
An Zichen was surprised by her words. He had not expected her to simply send him to get Ji Feifei to sign the doc.u.ment. If it was that simple, how come she didn't send someone else or go on her own?
Lanni apparently knew what he was thinking. She locked her hands together with a tiny grin on her lips. "Just do as I say and worry about nothing else."
"Okay." An Zichen took the task seriously. Lanni directed him to the prison where Ji Feifei was. All he had to do was say, "Here is the share transfer doc.u.ment" and be done with the job.
Lanni was on pins and needles as she waited for An Zichen to come back. It was not that she doubted him. In fact, if there was anyone that would never go back on their word, it would have to be him. He wouldn't betray her especially now that she had just saved his sister's life.
What she was worried about was whether her plan would actually work. She was playing with Ji Feifei's psychology and she was not fully confident that it would really be fruitful. If it worked, all would be well but if it didn't, she wouldn't even have a chance to try again.
Just when her nervousness was at its peak, An Zichen returned.
She waited with bated breath for him to speak.
"She signed it." An Zichen finally said, passing the doc.u.ment to her. He now finally understood what she was doing. Since it was him giving her the doc.u.ment, Ji Feifei would never have a doubt.
"Thank goodness." Lanni let out the breath she had been holding for over an hour. With her hands shaking slightly out of anticipation, she opened the doc.u.ment.
The first page indeed stated that she was selling her shares to the Feng family. What she didn't know, however, was that all the pages that followed stated that she was giving all her shares to Ji Xiehan for free. Obviously, she was not going to use her money to buy them and neither was she going to use Ji Xiehan's. That's what she got for agreeing to betray her own family. Lanni was betting that since they had already discussed, she wouldn't read through the whole doc.u.ment considering what an impatient person she was.
She had been right. In fact, Ji Feifei had rolled her eyes and literally grabbed the pen from An Zichen with a snort. "I bet the Ji family would never have expected me to do this but whatever. Who would reject such an insane amount of money when they actually need it? As soon as I get out of here, I'm cutting ties with them and living on my own with this money.
All she had done was ramble and then sign the doc.u.ment. She had not even read the first page of the contract let alone all of it.
Lanni looked at him. "Thank you. I will transfer the money to pay your debt later. After that, you will be free to leave the Feng family. As for your new job…"
"I don't think I should get a new job, how will I explain suddenly getting so much money?" He interrupted.
"Eer… you won the lottery? A distant relative wants you to live with them and paid the debt off to set you free? You just discovered that your parents had hidden away a stash of money and didn't have enough time to tell you before they passed away? There are many excuses for the record. You just have to come up with one." Lanni said.
"That sounds so easy to do." An Zichen said. "However, I still think it's best if I continue working for the Feng family. If I directly leave now and he finds out what happened with Ji Feifei, he might go after my sister."
Lanni was about to say that he could do what he wanted but thinking about it, An Zichen had just worked for her. She shouldn't let anything happen to him. "From the moment you agreed to do me this favor, you have gone against the Fengs. Once they find out that they have been tricked, Ji Feifei will tell them that it was you who gave her the doc.u.ment. No matter what you say then, no one will believe you. Old Master Feng will go after you and your sister.��
An Zichen's eyes widened as he realized just how right she was. He had not thought through the repercussions of his betrayal and now that she said it, Old Master Feng would never let him off.
"Break your ties with the Feng family. I will help you find another job and you will be safe." Lanni promised and she meant it. She was not going to let him suffer and neither would Ji Xiehan.
"I will do as you say." Although it was embarrassing to take instructions from someone a few years younger than him, An Zichen had already been impressed by Lanni's brief and precise way of handling things so he didn't mind following her lead.
…
That evening.
Ji Xiehan gave Lanni a call once he was home from work so she went over to his mansion.
"Good evening Miss Lanni." The butler greeted her warmly when he saw her arrive.
"Hello Miss Lanni." The maids greeted her in unison too. After seeing how friendly she was previously when she came, they quite liked her.
"Hello." She responded with a sweet smile. "Where is Xiehan?"
"The young master is in the master bedroom. Miss Lanni, are you hungry? I will get the chef to prepare something for you to eat." The butler answered.
"Thanks, but I'm not hungry. I will go and find Xiehan first." Lanni said and went to the second floor.
She knocked on the door of the master bedroom. When he didn't respond, she thought that he might be asleep. She hesitantly opened the door, covering her eyes as she walked in. What if he was sleeping in his birthday suit as he said he usually does?
"Oops!" Because her eyes were covered, she bumped into a wall. To be exact, she bumped into a human wallーa warm shirtless human wall that was slightly damp…with sweat?
She ran a hand through his hard chest with her eyes still closed and traced down his rock-hard abs. "Are walls so s.e.xy these days?"
Ji Xiehan grabbed her hand and pushed it down his V-line. "Yes. There's an extremely s.e.xy wall before you. Do you want to hug it, kiss it, or… something else?"
Lanni opened her eyes and only then did she see the only piece of cloth on him. A towel loosely dr.a.p.ed around his waist. He had another towel on his head, probably what he was using to wipe his hair. She swallowed a gulp of saliva. "Why do you only have a towel on?"
"I just finished taking a shower." He made way for her to come in.
No wonder his skin was wet.
"Eer… should I… leave so you can dress up and come back later?" Lanni tried to look elsewhere.
"No need." He rubbed on his hair using the towel for a while and put it on the dressing table. His hair was now ruffled, and Lanni couldn't take her eyes off it. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped when he reached to take off the towel.
She hurriedly turned with her eyes closed. "Can't you have some decency?"
Ji Xiehan laughed. "There��s no such thing as decency in the presence of the person who has seen every inch of my body."
With no restraint, he went ahead to cream his body before taking the clothes that he had chosen earlier and dressing up right there. Lanni tried not to look at him even though she really wanted to. She knew what would happen if she took even a tiny peek and she was not ready for that. At least not before talking business.
Once he was done dressing up, he walked in front of her and held her hands, pulling them off her face. "You can open your eyes now."
She resisted his pull, peeking through her fingers to ensure that he was actually wearing clothes. Ji Xiehan chuckled at his antics. Was he so untrustworthy?
Seeing that he was not lying, Lanni reached into her satchel and took out the share transfer contract. "I got this for you."
Ji Xiehan had to smile in awe, knowing that she had accomplished whatever it was that she was trying to do. How fast. Although he knew that she was smart, he had thought that he might have to step in. seeing that she had done it on her own, he happily opened the contract.
He was initially shocked to read the part about Ji Feifei giving her shares to the Feng family but when he flapped to the later pages, he had to let out a laugh. "You tricked her."
"Well, people like her can only be handled using mind tricks."
Ji Xiehan tore off the first pages. "I'll get my lawyer to verify this."
Lanni told him what had happened before saying, "I was worried about that, would there be a problem because she didn't willingly sign it?"
"What problem?" Ji Xiehan shrugged. "Did anyone force her? It was her fault for not
