The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Later that day. 

Luna was in her room, busy typing codes on her laptop when the doorbell rang. Cheng Yu was already home so she was hesitant. Who could it be? Thinking that it might be that annoying fellow, Jiang Xingyu, she went to open the door. 

She was surprised, however, when she was who it was. "Lanni? Come on in." 

Lanni walked in and sat on the sofa, curiously looking at her sister. 

Luna brought her a drink and sat next to her. "Why are you scanning me like that? It's getting a little creepy." 

Lanni let out a small smile. "You look different. Are you in love?" 

Luna chocked on her saliva and coughed in a fit. What nonsense was her sister spewing? "You're the one who looks in love. You look so bright and cheerful." 

She ran her eyes all over Lanni's body and asked teasingly, "I know about how you confessed to Xiehan and how you went to Europe together for a vacation. Although you had to come back prematurely, you don't look disappointed at all. Tell me, did something happen between you too?" 

Her eyes squinted slightly as she half-whispered. "You know, something that should give me the hope of becoming an aunty soon? What happened next? Did your relationship get even better after that?" 

"Are you reading my mind?" Lanni interrupted her jabbering. How did she even know any of those things? She hadn't even told Cheng Yu about them. 

"Is it hard to guess? You're my sister after all. Come on, tell me." 

"Luna…" Lanni sighed. 

Luna looked worried as a glint flashed in her eyes. "What happened?" If Ji Xiehan bullied her sister, he was not going to hear the end of it from her. 

"What about you? How are you fairing on?" 

Luna smiled in relief. So her sister was not being bullied. "I'm alright. I'm making progress in my case and…" a smile involuntarily formed on her face. "Aunty is so friendly to me." 

"Aunty? What aunty?" Lanni inquired. 

"Jiang Xingyu's mother." Xia Luna felt happy just talking about the loving middle-aged woman. "She's so kind and treats me like her own daughter even though I don't love her son. That must be the only good thing about Jiang Xingyu—his mother." 

Lanni tittered at her sister's words. "If there was nothing good about him in the past, why did you date him?" She hadn't met Madam Jiang in the past, right? 

"I was young and stupid and anyway, he hasn't always been a fool. He was quite sensible in the past." 

"You sound like you're in love with him, just teasing." Lanni quickly corrected her words before Luna had her head. 

"But Luna…" Lanni started worriedly. 

"What is it?" 

"I think…" she hesitated, knowing that Luna would surely scold her. But thinking about it, she said it in the end. "I think our mother misses you." 

Xia Luna frowned for almost half a minute then a slight laugh escaped her mouth. "Oh? Okay." 

Lanni knew that her sister took it as a joke. "I'm serious, Luna." 

Xia Luna raised an eyebrow and scrutinized Lanni. After a while, her mood dropped. "If this is a joke, it's not funny." 

Lanni felt uneasy too. She knew that the topic of their mother was a thorn to her sister, especially after their last meeting. "I'm not kidding Luna." 

"Why would you think so?" 

Lanni remembered how Li Yuming would suddenly blank out while looking at her and how she would seem restless. 

When she told Luna this, the latter thought she was thinking too much. "How did you come to the conclusion that she is restless because of me? It could be anything. She could be staring at you because she is recalling something about you or just because looking at you calms her down. Who knows?" 

Lanni took her sister's hand. "I know what I'm saying, Luna. I'm not thinking too much about anything." 

"If anything, I don't think she would want to be associated with me." 

"But…" 

"But you saw how she treated me Lanni. You heard what she called me and what she told you about me. Why would you still think she would want anything to do with me? You are the only daughter she recognizes and it doesn't matter to me anymore." Luna suddenly blurted out. 

She then glanced at the shocked Lanni. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude." 

Lanni smiled. "You weren't. I'm just… it's just so hard to bear." 

Unwilling to continue talking about this difficult topic, Lanni casually asked, "I will be free for the coming few days as I figure out what I want to do. Do you want to catch a movie together tomorrow?" 

"I would love to, but I'll go to Lakeside City tomorrow." 

"Why would you go to Lakeside City?" Lanni was confused. Hadn't Luna been going there too frequently lately? 

"I'm going to visit our dad." The smile slowlh returned to Luna's face at the mention of the person who cared about her the most. "The doctors said he would wake up soon." 

"That's great news." Lanni said with a hint of longing in her voice. 

Luna grabbed her hand in slight excitement. "Do you want to come with me?" 

Lanni was excited at the idea then the excitement suddenly died down. "Tomorrow? I can't. I have an appointment with the hypnotist." 

"Hypnotist? Why would you want to see a hypnotist?" Luna sounded a bit off as she frantically asked. 

"Because he can help me recover my memory. He is Xiehan's friend." 

"Yeah, of course." Luna shook her head to clear the confusion. "But why did you change your mind? You said you didn't want your memory back." 

To that, Lanni explained what had happened three nights before, how she had recovered a section of her memory that was confusing. 

"I see. Then you should… yeah you should go to a hypnotist then." 

"Luna, are you alright?" Lanni asked worriedly. Her sister suddenly looked pale and a bit sweaty. 

"Yeah, I'm okay. It must be the heat." 

Lanni thought something was strange but laughed it off. "Okay. Luna, I'll go home now." 

"Okay." Luna did not even hesitate, and when Lanni left, she rushed to her room. 

She took an old phone and turned it on then frantically sent a text to a contact named Flynn. [The meds aren't working anymore. What should I do?]
