The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Xia Luna and Cheng Yu were both startled. 

Xia Luna turned robotically, her heart racing. "Lanni…" 

Lanni shifted her gaze between the two of them then she laughed. She walked over to the table and grabbed a bunch of keys. "I forgot my keys so I had to turn back. The interesting conversation I just overheard wasn't part of my business so… don't mind my interruption, please continue with your conversation." 

Cheng Yu had nothing to say as a retaliation against Lanni's mocking words. 

When she saw Lanni leave, Xia Luna anxiously grabbed her arm and pleaded. "Listen to me." 

"Let go of me." Lanni pulled her arm out of Xia Luna's with a fierce glare. 

"Lanni, don't… I can explain." 

"Explain?" Lanni scoffed. "What do you have to explain Xia Luna? I trusted you. I believed you even when the truth was right in front of me. How could I… I have been so stupid." The last part was meant to scold herself. 

Shooting a glance of disbelief in Cheng Yu's direction, she walked out. She had instinctively stopped herself from saying hurtful words even though she thought of them and they were true. No wonder Li Yuming said that Xia Luna was too cunning. Indeed, only a mother knew her daughter best.

On one hand, she was acting like the loving sister who wanted nothing but to reunite their family while on the other hand, she was busy scheming against her—and Cheng Yu knew all about it and was even supporting her. 

Lanni laughed in self-mockery. She should have learnt from her encounter with Ji Feifei. How could she still trust anyone after what happened with Ji Feifei? 

…

Lanni stayed in her room and only came out when she really had to. She would even have her meals in her room. 

She only left the house on Friday morning, when it was time to go to the hypnotist. 

She dressed up quickly and sent Xiehan a text message. He was accompanying her, so he would pick her up on their way. Once she had sent the text, she went to wait for him in the living room. 

Li Yuming was on her way out when she saw Lanni and went to her happily. "You finally left your room. I was worried something was wrong with you." She couldn't resist hugging her daughter warmly. 

"You were worried about me?" Lanni wondered aloud. She just wanted to be on her own for a while to think everything through. But if Li Yuming was worried, why didn't she check on her? Isn't that what any mother would do, especially one that loved her daughter as much as Li Yuming did? 

Li Yuming could pretty much guess what Lanni was thinking, and she smiled awkwardly.  Only she knew how many times she had gone to Lanni's room and when she reached the door, she had to forcefully stop herself. The last time something similar happened, it spiralled out of control. Li Yuming was traumatized just thinking about it. 

"Why are your eyebags so dark? Haven't you been having enough sleep?" 

"Don't worry about me. I will be able to sleep better now." Li Yuming was happier, cheering up instantly. "Anyway, what happened to you?" 

"Can we not talk about that? I really don't want to." Lanni shook her head, and Li Yuming understandably nodded. "As long as you're alright now." 

When Ji Xiehan arrived, Lanni's mood lightened up even further. 

Right. Why would she care so much about a friend she knew so little about and a sister who basically popped out of nowhere? She should be concentrating on herself and her loved ones. Those who genuinely loved her—Ji Xiehan and her mother. 

The ride to the hospital was cheerful, punctuated with several happy laughs and lots of sweet words. Ji Xiehan even stole a few kisses at the red lights and when they turned green, Lanni would steal kisses too. 

When they arrived at the hospital, neither wanted the ride to end. 

"That's enough for now. We will continue on our way back." Ji Xiehan teasingly nibbled on her earlobe a little before letting go of her. When Lanni glared at him, he laughed and defended himself. "Your eyes are asking for more. But you know that this is a hospital, right?"

Lanni shook her head. "You are so shameless. But I'm not complaining… I love you that way." She said, earning a kiss on the forehead.

"I was wondering whether you guys would really come and just when I want to rush to grab a snack, you waltz in hand in hand, whispering sweet nothings and biting each other's ears." A man interrupted them.

Lanni was a bit embarassed that someone had seen them, while Xiehan happily introduced them. He turned to Lanni and said, "This is Han Xichen." 

Then he hugged her waist. "Han, you already know about my wife." 

Lanni was startled. What did he just call her?" 

"So this is Lanni." He extended a hand to greet her. "Nice to finally meet you." Then, he jabbed Ji Xiehan. "Congratulations man. When are you getting married?"

"When she says yes." 

Han Xichen was taken aback. She hadn't yet? But then, it was not part of his business so he led them into his office, asking them to make themselves comfortable. 

Because he had other matters to attend to, he didn't waste time and started interrogating Lanni. 

"You want to be hypnotized to recover your memory. Do you know how you lost it?" 

"A car accident." Lanni answered, fright starting to slowly creep in. Perhaps it was the man himself or the fact that she knew he was going to help her uncover what a part of her was still slightly afraid to face. 

"Are you ready?" He asked directly, to which she thought for a second and nodded. 

"Am I still needed here? If my presence will be a distraction then I should wait outside." Xiehan said, but before he moved, Lanni grabbed his hand instinctively. 

"She will be scared if you are not here." Han Xichen was surprised that Ji Xiehan would like the type of girl who was basically a damsel in distress. Even so, it was not his business so he took out a lighter from his pocket and flicked it on.
