The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni looked at Feng Ji International's building through the windscreen of her car and realized that she had absent-mindedly driven here. She wondered whether she should go back home or say hi to Xiehan now that she was already here. Xiehan wouldn't mind that she was going to his office during working hours, right? 

Checking the time, she was surprised. She had driven around for so long? Now that she looked around, employees had started swarming out of the building looking relieved. Xiehan should be out soon. Thinking about it, she bought food for both of them in the restaurant close by and went into the building. 

Just like the last time, no one asked Lanni any questions. In fact, the receptionist politely asked whether she wanted to wait for Xiehan in the lobby or go to his office, and even offered snacks and drinks which Lanni politely rejected. 

Qiao Luna led her towards the elevator as she said, "Mr. Ji is still in a meeting but it is sure to end soon. Please wait for him for a while." 

"No problem." Lanni said and suddenly stopped, glancing in the direction of the employees' elevator. 

"Miss Lanni, is something the matter?" Qiao Luna asked as she followed her gaze. 

Lanni averted her gaze. "It's nothing." 

It was just that she had thought that she had seen a familiar silhouette disappear into the employees' elevator. Shrugging it off her mind, she entered the elevator with Qiao Luna. 

Once in his office, Lanni sat on the couch and placed the bags of food on the marble table in front of the couch. She reclined to let her nerves rest. It sounded impossible but as soon as she was in Xiehan's office, all those negative thoughts flew off her mind. She was now calm and at ease as she made small talk with Qiao Luna. 

"You are saying that Feng Ci was here earlier?" Lanni exclaimed to what Qiao Luna had just said. 

"Yes, and she made a scene. Can you believe it? Mr. Ji doesn't even like her, but she throws her temper around and expects to control everyone like this is her home. How annoying." 

Lanni tittered and finally understood why everyone respected her. It was all because she respected them too, unlike Feng Ci who knew nothing but shout at people when they didn't do what she wanted them to do. 

She studied Qiao Luna up close and remembered something. "Right. Which company did you work for before coming to Feng Ji International?" 

"Miss Lanni, why do you ask?" Qiao Luna recoiled. 

"I don't mean to pry into the personal lives of Xiehan's employees, I'm just curious. If you mind then you don't have to answer."

"I don't mind. I worked for…" Qiao Luna was yet to answer when the door opened and she stood up. "Oh, Mr. Ji is here." 

"Lanni?" Xiehan was pleasantly surprised to see Lanni waiting in his office. He walked over to her, all the fatigue from hours of meetings vanishing. 

Lanni stood up and hugged him at the same time that Qiao Luna slipped out of the office. 

"I'm glad to see you. Did you wait for too long" He asked after breaking the hug. 

"No, I only just arrived a moment ago." Lanni touched his collar and scrutinized him. "You look tired." 

"Yeah, I had so much to do today. But now that I saw you as soon as I finished all those meetings, I think it was all worth it." He sat on the couch and pulled her onto his lap. 

"You and your flirting." She chuckled and eased into his embrace. She was happy to see him too. After coming to his office, she was just calm. But now that she was with him and in his arms, she couldn't be any happier. 

"You came to pick me up? Then I shouldn't waste your effort. Let's go." He made to make her get off him and stand. 

However, she pinned him down by his shoulders. "I don't want to go anywhere." 

Ji Xiehan didn't mind that. He had thought that she wanted to go somewhere together but his office was good too. Lanni sat beside him and took out the boxes of food from the plastic bag. 

"You cooked for me?" Xiehan smiled in surprise as the sweet aroma of food filled the air when she opened the boxes. 

"No, I just bought it from the restaurant across the road." Lanni placed a set of disposable cutlery in front of him along with his food and looked at him. "Are you disappointed?" 

"Of course not. How could that be?" Xiehan grabbed her into a cuddle. "I'm happy that you thought about it." He was famished. Since morning, he had not had the chance to swallow a sip of water let alone eat. Hence as soon as Lanni was done laying the table, they wolfed down the dishes, almost forgetting their manners. 

"When I came in, you were interrogating my assistant?" Xiehan asked when they were both full. 

"I hope you don't mind. I just found her a little strange. " She answered as she disposed of the empty food boxes in the trash can. 

"I see." Of course, Xiehan wouldn't mind it. "I find her strange too, sometimes. I mean, she is hardworking. The most hardworking assistant I have ever had. However, sometimes she just becomes weird." 

"Why would you still keep her if she is being weird?" Lanni c.o.c.ked her head towards him to ask. 

"She is not doing anything wrong and neither is she betraying Feng Ji International. Why would I mind her personal strangeness?" 

"Eer…" His logic was weird. But that was so much like Xiehan. She was not doing anything that would affect him in any way so it shouldn't matter. Of course, Lanni knew nothing about how Qiao Luna had once seduced Xiehan under Ji Huifen's instructions and he thought it better to not mention anything about it. 

Once she had cleared the table, Lanni sat beside him and hugged his arm. Xiehan tousled her hair, petting her like a kitten. "You have something on your mind?" 

Lanni looked up at him in surprised. "How do you know? Can you read minds?" 

Xiehan chuckled as he brought her into his embrace. "I don't need to be a mind reader to know that. If I cannot even tell when my girlfriend is unhappy, am I not a failure as a man?" 

Lanni couldn't agree more. Indeed, she could also tell at a glance when he was unwell, tired or had a lot on his mind. It was just instinctive. 

"You mentioned that you have a friend who is well versed in psychology and is also a hypnotist. Could you help me arrange a meeting with them?" Lanni came out with it after a moment of contemplation. 

"You have decided to go for hypnosis? Why so suddenly?" Xiehan was confused. The last time they talked about it, Lanni had adamantly refused to be hypnotized. Why would she want to meet a hypnotist now? 

"I didn't want to recover my memory previously but now I do." Lanni stated, and then explained how she had remembered a confusing part of her past the previous night. 

"Xiehan, I am just so confused. I want to solve this puzzle once and for all." 

Xiehan hugged her, rubbing her back. "Okay, I will contact the hypnotist. But are you ready to face the truth about your past?" 

Lanni pushed his hand away and looked at him in shock. "You know about my past?" 

"No." Xiehan said monotonously. 

"Then what do you mean 'face the truth about my past'? You sounded like you are so sure that it is something shocking." 

"I don't know much about your past but I discovered a few things from my observation and from a few facts." 

"What facts?" Lanni frowned. 

"First off, Aunty Li hates to talk about your past. She may have told me a few things but she looked like she was hiding something. Then a few months ago, I did a check on you because I hadn't ever heard of you before…" Xiehan paused, expecting her to be mad at him for investigating her. When he saw that she wasn't, he continued. "It looked like some things had been deliberately deleted." 

"But you can recover them, right? Why didn't you?" She wondered. 

"I had already violated your privacy, honey. Besides, wouldn't it be strange if I as the first to find out some hidden secrets about you? But if you want me to, then I will." 

Lanni stared blankly for a while then came to a decision. "I don't want to know about it from anything aside from my brain." 

"Then I will contact the hypnotist right away." Ji Xiehan took out his phone immediately, making an appointment after confirming what day she was comfortable with. 

"Thank you." She said when the call was disconnected. 

"Are you going to thank me verbally?" Xiehan teased, his fingers intertwining with hers. 

"You profiteer. You would even extort your girlfriend." Lanni was helpless against his grin of satisfaction.
