The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"What happened to you?" She teased with a laugh. "You look like you have been attacked and beaten up."  Jiang Xingyu looked at her like she was a heartleas scoundrel. "If I was beaten up, you would laugh at me?"  "If something is funny, of course I would laugh." She held a hand over her mouth and laughed even harder.  Jiang Xingyu harrumphed and grabbed her hand, opening the car door and stuffing her inside.  "What are you doing here anyway?" She didn't seem to mind that he had dragged her into the car without her permission.  "I came to see you. I didn't think I would find you so soon. I expected you  to slip away." He said as he reclined in the driver's seat. He had chosen a car she wouldn't recognize on purpose. It was even more surprising that after seeing him, she didn't avoid him but went down to meet him instead.  "I saw you through my window." She said with a shrug. Actually, it was Cheng Yu who had seen him leave his car while she was leisurely looking out through her window, and shown Xia Luna. They had watched most of his predicaments together and laughed their hearts out. Only after a while did Luna decide to go and meet him.  Hearing her explanation, he really wanted to disappear. Why did she witness all of his embarrassing moments? First, she saw his mother beating him up like he was a child. Then she showed Xia Luna his most embarassing photo from when he was nine. And now she watched him trip and fall? She had even seen him topple over the trash bin!  "Why are you here anyway?" She interrupted his train of thought, looking at him in defeat. "Xingyu, we agreed not to meet anymore. Why did you look for me?"  Jiang Xingyu averted his gaze in guilt. It was because of her safety that they had agreed not to meet. "Xia, I missed you. I just couldn't stop myself from coming to see you."  "Then you better stop yourself. You know fully well why we can no longer keep meeting up."  "Yes. I understand." He sighed. He turned to look at her side profile. She was looking out through the windscreen. Only now did he get to look at her clearly. She had applied make up on her face and even had fake feckles below her eyes. Her fake eyelashes were longer than her natural ones, and the lipstick she had on was so unlike her.  Even Li Yuming couldn't recognise her like this. It was only because he was expecting her to be disguised that he knew it was her. It pained his heart. He wanted to be with her as her real self. It hurt his feelings that his woman had to hide away and pretend to be someone else just to keep her life. As a man, wasn't he a failure?  "Why are you scanning me like that? Is my makeup skill so perfect?" She turned and asked him.  "Why don't we go to my villa and talk? You tricked me the last time so…"  "Fine." He didn't need to come up with an excuse before she agreed to go.  He started the car, not forgetting to steal a glance and tease her. "You are so willing to be close to me these days. Is it because you like me too and can't wait to be by my side?"  Xia Luna rolled her eyes and ignored him. This guy must have hit his head too hard on the trash bin. Thinking about his fall earlier, she burst into laughter again.  "What are you…" realizing what she was laughing at, Jiang Xingyu huffed and continued driving. The car ride was mostly silent, only punctuated by her peals of laughter once in a while. Although he was infuriated, there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, this was one of those few times that his Xia was laughing so happily. How could he say anything against it?  Once in his villa, he made hot cocoa for both of then.  "What do you want to talk about?" She asked as she took the hot cocoa from the table.  "Do you have to be in such a hurry? Let me drink my cocoa first." Jiang Xingyu took his cup and took a sip. After seeing her, he was no longer so sleepy. He could actually hold a sane conversation.  When they had finished their drinks, she threw a glance at him. He didn't need to ask. She was probing what he wanted to talk about.  "Xia, I know you like doing everything on your own…"  "If you are going to talk me into accepting help from you and your mother, you better give up." She interrupted before he could even say it.  Jiang Xingyu adjusted his body on the sofa so he was facing her directly. "Xia, listen to me. You cannot do this on your own."  "Are you saying that I'm too useless to handle my own problems?" She threw a glare at him.  "N-no Xia, that's not what I meant." His eyes bulged. How could she get the wrong meaning of his words? "What I mean is, it is hard. I totally understand your side of it but… you can't always manage everything on your own."  "It's none of your freaking business Jiang Xingyu." At first, she had deliberately made him think she had misunderstood him so they would drop the topic but now, she was truly annoyed.  "How is it not my business? Can you stop saying that already? I'm your man and it's my business to look out for you." He was annoyed too. Why did she keep pushing him out of her life when she knew fully well that he was part of it?  "I am not your woman, Jiang Xingyu. I never was." She insisted.  His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Whatever. Xia Luna, the last person I want to fight with is you. Why are we arguing like kids anyway?"  "Who is fighting with you? You are the one starting a fight." Luna harrumphed.  "You started it." Jiang Xingyu realized that she had c.o.c.ked her head and was raising an eyebrow as though mocking him. "Fine. I started it."  As expected, she looked happier now, and he didn't know what to do with her. "I should…" she was yet to say that she should go when the man beside her dropped onto the sofa, his head resting on her lap. Just like that, he fell asleep.  She wanted to push him away but he was holding onto the hem of her blouse. It was not sure whether it was because his grip was too tight or she just didn't want to wake him up, she let him be.  Seeing how peaceful he looked on her lap, she couldn't resist the urge to tousle his hair. She even smiled before scolding herself. What was she doing?  Even so, she didn't push him away, reclining against the backrest to sleep too.  She didn't know when it happened but she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she was no longer on the living room couch but on Jiang Xingyu's cozy bed instead. She stretched her limbs and went to wash her face to clear her mind.  That was the most peaceful sleep she had had in a while. She had been so restless lately that her dreams would be full of nothing but nightmares. Who would have thought that she would have slept like a child when it was already morning?  Her stomach grumbled. When she checked the time, she was surprised that it was already noon. Just how long had she slept? After checking that her makeup was not ruined, she left Jiang Xingyu's room.  She could hear noises from downstairs and peeked curiously.  "Ah! Never underestimate a woman's instinct." Madam Jiang was excited when she saw Xia Luna. "I kept having the urge to pay this useless punk a visit and when I did, it turns out my Luna is here."  Xia Luna brightened up when she saw Madam Jiang too. She ran right into her arms like an excited kid. "Aunty!"  "Oh I'm so happy to see you." Madam Jiang embraced her tightly, her heart flooding with maternal love.  Xia Luna hugged her, almost tearing up. Her mind almost wandered towards Li Yuming but she stopped it in time, breaking the hug. "Aunty, are you hungry? I will go to the kitchen to cook for you."  "You can cook?" Madam Jiang was pleasantly surprised. Xia Luna didn't look like the type to like being in the kitchen.  "I'm pretty good at it." She responded, then went ahead to talk about what Madam Jiang wanted to eat.  "Are you guys going to ignore me?" Jiang Xingyu, who had no choice but to stop in the middle of speaking complained.  Xia Luna looked at him then back at Madam Jiang. "He's not used to it yet?"
