The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Jiang Xingyu froze, not knowing where to place his hands. Was he supposed to hug her, or would she be mad at him? She had always avoided and ignored him and now she was kissing him. How should he react? 

She bit his lip slightly to remind him to not let his thoughts wander while kissing her.  When she hugged his neck and deepened the kiss, he finally reacted by pulling her by her waist into his embrace and returned the kiss. 

Her hand went around his waist, then circled his lower body. Just when he thought she was going for his crotch and was surprised about it, her hand dipped into his pockets and before he could react, she had taken out a small key. 

"How could you…" How did she even know where the key was? Did she have a pair of super eyes or something? His brain cleared just as she pushed him away and unlocked the cuff on her ankle. 

She lept off the chair before he could catch her. "Sorry, I have to go!" She said and sprinted off. 

Jiang Xingyu cursed. How dare she lure him using seduction and trick him? 

Now that he thought about it, that must be how she had survived in the past year. She must have used deception. 

He wondered whether to call his assistant and go back to work or just stay home since he had already taken the day off. With a sigh, he decided to go back to work. He didn't have anything to do on his own anyway. 

___

That evening. 

In the Feng family home. 

"How did they even do it? Are the Jis gods?" Gu Tianxi expressed her shock. 

"Yeah, and you Gus did nothing to stop them." Feng Ci exploded. So much for having to pretend to be in love with Gu Tianchan. 

After the news about her and Ji Xiehan blew up, Gu Tianchan had jealously called and asked her all about it. She had to pretend that it was Ji Xiehan who had come onto her and that she felt nothing for him. After all that trouble, all she got was this? 

"What do you mean we did nothing? It is you Fengs who are too stupid!" Gu Tianxi would never let anyone insult her family. 

"Can you both stop fighting already?" Gu Tianchan stepped in before the two women murdered each other. He went over to Feng Ci and hugged her from behind. "My dear, you…" 

He stopped when he suddenly got punched in the face. If he didn't react in time, he would have ended up with a broken jaw.

"What was that for?"  

Feng Ci stood up and looked him up and down. "Take a good look at yourself. Which part of you do you think is good enough for me?" 

Gu Tianchan was shocked. 

Since the Gu family was no longer helping, Feng Ci didn't think she needed to pretend anymore. She let out everything she had always wanted to say. "You are disgusting! Just the thought of you makes me want to retch. You know what, if I really had to marry you, I would have…" 

A slap across her face interrupted her. 

Feng Ci looked at the incomer in shock. "Mother…" 

Mrs. Feng was so angry she could explode. She and her husband had only stepped aside to talk with Old Master Gu and Mrs. Gu. They had left the kids together so they would interact and so that Feng Ci would get to know Gu Tianchan better. Who would have thought that just a few minutes later, she would come back to her daughter hurling insults at him? 

She smiled at Gu Tianchan modestly. "Please don't mind Cici. She loses her mind whenever she is anxious." 

"I understand." Gu Tianchan brushed it off generously. 

At the side, Gu Tianxi harrumphed. Even though she had wanted Feng Ci to marry her brother, she didn't think she could let that happen anymore. 

…

While the Feng family and Gu family were almost getting into a fight, the situation was different in the Ji family. 

Wen Lin had prepared a table full of meals and had called Ji Xiehan and Li Lanni home for dinner. 

The atmosphere was merry. 

Ji Huifen even brought out his oldest bottle of wine and opened it, poured everyone some and raised his glass for a toast.

"Xiehan, you have worked hard this time." He said, proud of his son. Within just a few days, he had put all the Feng family's efforts to waste. Not only had he let all the higher ups and partners know how irresponsible and untrustworthy the Fengs were, he had also made them remain on the Ji family's side. 

"Our Xiehan has always been hardworking." Wen Lin patted her son's shoulders. 

"Lanni helped me a great deal." He raised his glass to Lanni and smiled at her. 

Lanni smiled back. "I only did the little work that's not troublesome." She didn't take all the credit to herself. 

"I wouldn't have done it without those sweet calls of encouragement from you, my love." 

Since Wen Lin no longer had anything against Lanni, she was happy to see the interaction between her son and Lanni. These two were so cute. They should get married already. "Lanni, why don't you invite your mother to dine with us this weekend? We have never had a meal together since you and Xiehan got engaged." Wen Lin said. 

"Sure. I will let her know." Lanni replied. Thinking about something, she squeezed her eyes shut for half a second and then smiled, brushing her thought off. 

Ji Xiehan only had to take one look at her to know what she was thinking. In instances like this, his parents would have invited her close family over for a meal. But for her, they could only invite her mother. They didn't know about her sister and her father was a topic they avoided. 

He reached under the table and placed a hand on her thigh for comfort, silently letting her know that he was there for her. Although he couldn't possibly replace the position of a father in her heart, he still cared about her more than anyone else could.

"Xiehan, are you still not willing to take over the company?" Ji Huifen asked, pulling him out of his thoughts. 

Before Ji Xiehan could answer, Wen Lin jabbed her husband and glared daggers at him. "Don't bore my son with that kind of questions. Xiehan can take over the company when he feels like and if he doesn't want to, so be it." 

"Sheesh… I was just asking." Ji Huifen recoiled. Why was his wife so mean? 

"Now that we're at this… I've been wondering how this could happen…" Wen Lin clutched at her chest as though in inexplicable hurt. 

Everyone looked at her curiously. 

She continued in a mixture of doubt and hurt. "Feifei was going to be on the Feng family's side? How could that be?" 

Ji Huifen let out a sigh. "I can't believe it either." 

Lanni and Ji Xiehan exchanged looks. Ji Xiehan placed down his cutlery before saying,  "Mother, it is true. There is no misunderstanding. She was really going to sell us out." 

"But how can that be? We are her family." Wen Lin was still in disbelief. 

"Yes, but that doesn't stop her from having evil thoughts." Ji Xiehan said. 

"I can't believe my own daughter can be so…" she didn't even know what to say of Ji Feifei. 

"It's our fault too. We let her become spoilt." Ji Huifen regretted doting on her. 

"There's no point regretting anything now." Ji Xiehan sighed. It was too late to regret. That wouldn't make Ji Feifei become a better person than the venomous snake she was. 

Lanni remained silent while the Jis talked about Ji Feifei. 

She looked at Wen Lin, then looked at Ji Xiehan. Averting her gaze, she glanced at Ji Huifen briefly. 

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiehan asked when he saw her frown. 

"It's nothing." She shoved her thoughts at the back of her head. Why was she finding everything so strange? 

Just now, she had suddenly found the Ji family familiar. A sudden snippet of memory had surfaced in her mind but just before she grasped it, Ji Xiehan had spoken and the snippet had faded away in a flash. 

…

At the same time, in a certain mansion in B City. 

"Have you found Ji Feifei yet?" An elderly man asked his henchman. 

"Sir, Ji Feifei is in prison. Her family didn't do anything to help her out." 

"Just in our favor." The elderly man burst into a round of hearty laughter. "Everything is going on perfectly. We just have to find her now and everything will fall into place. But there is one problem."

"What problem?" The assistant asked. 

The elderly man's expression turned firece as he enunciated every syllable with what sounded like bitterness. "Li Lanni."
