The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"We missed you too." Xiehan hugged her and pulled her against his body, kissing her neck. He held the sides of her thong and slid it down her waist. 

He flipped her under him as he took off his boxer briefs. "How do you want it, slow or fast?" 

"Fast….ah!" A m.o.a.n escaped her lips as he slammed into her.

Later. 

Lanni rested her head against Xiehan's chest as he caressed her hair down her back. 

"Honey, are you planning to go for hypnosis again?" Xiehan asked as he stroked her waist. 

"Yeah." She replied. "I think I'm ready to remember everything now." 

Xiehan thought it was the best decision. Postponing it wouldn't do much to actually help. 

Lanni's phone rang. She frowned when she saw who the caller was. Those two just wouldn't give up, would they?

...

Earlier

Golden WIng apartments. 

Nothing was going well for Luna. 

After Lanni overheard her conversation with Cheng Yu, she had ignored her calls. She had even tried to send several messages to explain but Lanni blocked her. She thought of hacking into Lanni's phone or laptop and leaving a message but chances were that it would only make Lanni angrier. Hence she could only give up for now. 

But that was just the beginning of her troubles. She had been following a lead that would help her expose Li Xiyan. After Li Xiyan started suspecting that she might be alive, Xia Luna had stopped trying to investigate on her own, in fear that someone might manage to track her down. Hence she had secretly hired a private investigator and given him all the information she had managed to gather. 

Two days ago, he had told her that he had managed to find evidence that could prove Li Xiyan guilty. If Li Xiyan was proven guilty, it could possibly prove that she had been in danger. However, this morning, she had received dreadful news. The investigator was actually found dead in his home. 

Luna clenched her fists, trying to stop herself from going insane. "Why does this have to happen now?" she slammed her laptop shut. 

All her months of hard work had suddenly gone down the drain. She clenched her lips. What now? Why did everything have to go wrong at such a time?

…

When Cheng Yu came back home, Xia Luna was sitting on the floor. She went to her worriedly. "Are you alright? What happened?" 

Xia Luna's shoulders lifted into an indifferent shrug. "I guess I was never going to get the stain off my name in this lifetime."

"What happened?" Cheng Yu was aware that Luna had talked to a private detective. "That man couldn't have been hired by Li Xiyan and betrayed you, right?" 

"I wish it was just that." Luna breathed. "I wish she had just hired him to betray me. But no, she didn't. He is dead." 

"What…" Cheng Yu muttered, sitting on the floor next to her. "How could that be? Why at such an important time?" 

"That's the point, Xiao Yu. It's because it is such an important time." 

The insinuation in Luna's voice couldn't be any more obvious. Cheng Yu cautiously questioned, "Are you suspecting that Li Xiyan killed him?" 

"Who else could? The police think his wife did it and have arrested her. But I don't think so. I'm so confused." 

Cheng Yu patted her back. "It's okay, relax. Everything will fall into place." 

Xia Luna suddenly shot to her feet. "You're right." 

Cheng Yu looked up at her and was happy that Xia Luna didn't usually stay distressed for too long. "See?" 

However, her joy didn't last long. Xia Luna grabbed her laptop and stuffed it into a bag, then swiftly changed into her male disguise. 

"Where are you going?" Cheng Yu was startled and worried when she saw Luna swiftly changing. 

Luna grabbed the bag and briefly explained. "everything will fall into place, but not on its own. It's up to me now." 

"Luna, where are you going?" Cheng Yu called after her, but Luna didn't answer her and went on her way. "Sigh, they're both so stubborn." 

…

Luna had the cab stop far from her actual destination. She discreetly looked around to make sure she was not being followed and took out a pair of gloves. In the distance was Detective Paul's house. She went to a bench on another street and took out her laptop. 

For convenience, he had told her his address so they wouldn't have to talk on phone. She had been to his house once so she remembered it well. However, she couldn't break down the door to a crime scene. That would make it obvious that someone had been to the house and would pose trouble. 

She used her laptop to check for any surveillance cameras that could capture anything at his house. 

She found one and checked its feed. In once, she saw Detective Paul's wife picking a stone in the front yard and when she lifted it, it turned out to be stuck onto a bottle buried into the ground. She opened the bottle and took out a key. Luna sighed in relief. She wouldn't need to pick the lock anymore. After obtaining this information, she copied a random feed and made the security camera stop functioning for five minutes. 

When everything was ready, she went to the spot she had seen Mrs. Paul pick a stone from the feed and checked. After finding the right stone, she took the key and opened the door. Once she was done, she took off her shoes and snuck into the house. She already had gloves on so she didn't have to worry about leaving her fingerprints anywhere, and taken off her shoes to avoid leaving any shoe prints. She knew that she was being too cautious but it was better than getting caught. 

She looked at the staircase and went up after thinking about it. detective Paul only lived with his wife, so there was no one else in the house after the husband died and the wife got arrested. She had four minutes left. She would have bought herself more time but if the surveillance camera was altered for too long, it would be suspicious. 

After looking through the rooms on the first floor, she found the study. "I hope he left something here." She mumbled to herself. 

He probably wouldn't leave anything on the bookshelves as a precaution. especially since he was a married man and wasn't the only one living in his house. Who knew, someone might try to bribe his wife to steal something. After looking around, she saw a safe. She was about to think about how to crack the code when she realized that she must be crazy. The man was killed. If it was really related to the case, the murderer would be dumb if they didn't steal whatever information there was before killing him. 

She clenched her fists, realizing that she was at a dead end. She breathed out a sigh and left the house as sneakily as she had entered. Grabbing her bag from where she had left it, she glanced at the time. She had two minutes left. But there was nothing she could do. There was no point. 

Just as she was about to leave, she looked at the window that was supposed to be the master bedroom's. A thought crossed her mind. What if the murderer just wanted the information, but he refused to hand it over so they killed him? He could have hidden it somewhere. 

"No way. I shouldn't give up before checking every nook and cranny." She muttered in a whisper, determination flashing in her eyes. This was a matter of her life. She didn't mean to be selfish but there was no way she could agree to pay for something she did not do. Well, it was something she did, but she didn't have a choice. It was self-defense and the real murderer was still strutting around freely. 

Besides, her father might wake up soon and the last thing she wanted to be was for him to have another heart attack because she had been arrested. Not to mention, proving Li Xiyan guilty might also prove that she had a reason to want to murder Detective Paul. it might help prove Mrs. Paul's innocence. Decisively, she altered the feed again to buy herself two more minutes and snuck back into the house. This time, she didn't waste any time before dashing into the master bedroom and checking. 

Just when she was about to give up, she saw a small perfume bottle on the desk. It was a familiar bottle and she knew that it wasn't a perfume. It was a USB drive in the guise of a perfume. a rush of hope filled her heart as she kept it in her pocket. 

But at that moment, a voice filled the house. 

"The house is surrounded. Raise your hands in the air and come out." 

Xia Luna froze. Damn it.
