The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

With the situation they had been in a while ago, Ji Xiehan was not surprised by her words. Even so, her boldness surprised him. He was learning a different side to her each day and he loved every single one of them. He embraced her warm, n.a.k.e.d body and flipped her under him. 

Just then, his phone rang. 

Ji Xiehan frowned in annoyance. Who would call at such bad timing? He ignored it and held the hem of his t-shirt, pulling it over his head. Then he leaned down to kiss her. 

She held a hand over his shoulder to stop him. "It might be important." 

Ji Xiehan wanted to ignore it when the call ended but the phone started ringing incessantly again. He cursed under his breath, shoved the t-shirt onto the bed and stretched a hand to the nightstand to pick it. 

"What are you talking about?" he asked with a frown as soon as the caller spoke. "I'll take a look." 

Once he hung up, he wanted to shove the phone aside and check later. 

"What happened? You look shocked." Lanni asked curiously. 

Ji Xiehan ran a hand through his silver hair, ruffling it. "My father said I'm all over gossip forums again. I wonder what that means." 

"Then have a look." Lanni responded. Wasn't it obvious that he should? She took his t-shirt and held it over her chest as she sat up to satisfy her curiosity. She wondered what Ji Xiehan would be doing in the gossip forums and she had a bad feeling about it. 

Under her curious and uneasy gaze, he checked the news on his phone. His eyebrows scrunched up as soon as he saw the headlines. "When father said 'you are on the gossip forums again', he didn't mean me. He meant us and it's not good news." 

"How bad could it be?" Lanni moved closer to him. 

"This bad." He sat down, holding the phone closer so she could see. 

[Trouble in paradise: Lanni given the cold treatment as Xiehan rekindles old flame with his childhood friend.] Read the headline in bold font. 

The couple exchanged looks. Lanni held a hand over her forehead. "Ji Feifei is in jail. Who came up with this nonsense then?" 

Ji Xiehan read the article and pointed at it. Following his gaze, Lanni saw the exaggerated gossip about how Ji Xiehan went to Berlin for a vacation on the surface while in real sense, he secretly told Feng Ci his whereabouts so they would meet up. While in Berlin, the two met up in Lanni's presence and cheated on her right under her nose and in the room next to her. 

The article even went so far as to state that Ji Xiehan would sneak to Feng Ci's room at night so they would have fun while Lanni slept on her own. There was a picture attatchedㄧthe one of Feng Ci on the bathroom with Ji Xiehan on top of her. 

"Shit." A curse escaped Lanni's lips. She wasn't sure what disgusted her more. The fact that that shameless woman tricked her boyfriend or that she had even taken a photo and was using him now?

Four hours ago. 

Soon after An Zichen helped Lanni get Ji Feifei's signature on the fake share transfer doc.u.ment, Old Master Feng went to give her the contract they had prepared beforehand. 

Alas, he was shocked when Ji Feifei claimed to have signed it already. 

"What do you mean you signed it? I didn't bring the contract to you so how could you have signed it?" Old Master Feng thought Ji Feifei was messing with him. 

"I don't understand either. I signed it this morning." Ji Feifei frowned.

Old Master Feng sunk into thought. Perhaps his wife sent her the contract and forgot to tell him about it? He flipped it to the last page and didn't see the signature he was expecting. He showed it to her. "If you signed it, where's your signature?" 

"Right… what?" Ji Feifei rubbed her eyes and looked at the paper again. "Where did the signature disappear to? I swear I signed it." 

After calming down from the fit of her shock, she looked at the doc.u.ment again. "This looks different from what was brought earlier." 

Old Master Feng held his chin in thought. "But were the terms the same? If they were identical to what we had discussed then there shouldn't be any problem." He was getting more convinced that his wife might have brought it to Ji Feifei to save him the trouble. 

"I…" Ji Feifei stuttered. "I didn't really read it. Since we already discussed…" 

"Forget about it." Old Master Feng calmed down after convincing himself. His wife wouldn't mess up the terms anyway. He took out his phone to call his wife for confirmation. However, her response shocked him. She knew nothing about it! 

Visiting time was almost over and he was running out of time so he was impatient and almost shouted when he asked her, "Who brought the contract you signed?" 

"Your chauffeur." She almost snarled too, in irritation. 

Old Master Feng looked at her like she was an idiot and left. 

"An Zichen. No wonder…" 

Now it all made sense. As soon as he arrived home, An Zichen had suddenly told him that he had transferred the money he owed the Feng family to Old Master Feng's bank account. After showing him the bank receipts, he asked to quit his job. 

At the time, Old Master Feng was only displeased about giving up on one of the employees that were easiest to exploit but since the lad had paid off his debt and the old man was in a good mood, he let him leave. It was only later that he wondered where he had suddenly got so much money. 

Now it all made sense. Someone must have given that money to him. He must have tricked Ji Feifei. "And that foolish girl! No wonder her family doesn't want her. How is she so stupid? Who signs a contract without checking through it?" 

He went back home, almost fainting from anger. 

"That's not the face I expected from a triumphant return, father." Feng Ci went to receive him, firing off questions and receiving a slap as a reward. 

"You slapped me…" She stared at her father in disbelief. 

"You useless woman. You are just as useless as Ji Feifei. None of this would have happened if you had managed to seduce Ji Xiehan. If you cannot even seduce a man, Of what good are you as a woman?" 

"How dare you say that to our daughter?" Madam Feng huffed as she left her room, wondering what was going on. She glared at her husband when she saw the palm print on Feng Ci's cheek. 

Old Master Feng calmed down slightly, flopping onto a couch. He explained what had happened with Ji Feifei and An Zichen. "Whatever it is, it is done already. We need a new plan."

"Who tricked Ji Feifei anyway? They must have needed perfect knowledge of her to guess that she wouldn't read the contract properly." Feng Ci said. 

"So you do have a brain." Her father glared at her. She had been so useless lately. "It must be her family. They know her best." 

Madam Feng sat next to her husband. "It cannot be Wen Lin." She had been close to Wen Lin for years and she knew the woman better than anyone. The woman treasured her daughter more than her life. In fact, Madam Feng was shocked that Wen Lin had let Ji Feifei be imprisoned. But no matter why she let that happen, Wen Lin would never do that to Ji Feifei. And neither would Ji Huifen. "So it can only be one person. The person who has never been that close to Ji Feifei to begin with." 

"Ji Xiehan." Old Master Feng was surprised too. He had thought that their sibling rivalry was too deep for Ji Xiehan to even know his sister's middle name. it turned out he knew such deep-rooted facts as well. "As expected, that man isn't to be underestimated." 

"I don't think this seems like Xiehan. He doesn't look like the type of man to play tricks." Feng Ci frowned. She had always tried to understand Ji Xiehan as much as possible. Although she didn't know every single thing about him, she had a gut feeling that there was more to this. 

"Enough with that. Whether it is Ji Xiehan or not, We need a serious plan. We cannot fail." 

"We should get the other shareholders and higher ups on our side before the Jis get them on theirs." Madam Feng said. 

"What makes you so sure that Ji Huifen and his son won't think of this?" Old Master Feng banged the envelope on the table in frustration. 

A moment of silence later, Feng Ci humphed. "I don't know how to make sure Ji Huifen doesn't do anything, but I have a way to distract Xiehan." 

"What?" They both looked at her. 

"Something I'm glad I didn't delete." She winked and excitedly left the room.
