The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni looked at Luna in confusion. What was she thanking her for? She hadn't managed to be of any help, right? And, why would anyone look so solemn while thanking another? 

…

One hour ago. 

Lanni ignored her phone and continued hugging Xiehan. But just when it stopped ringing, it started ringing again. The caller was incessant. 

"Honey, it might be important. You should answer it." Xiehan suggested. 

"It's Cheng Yu." Lanni looked disgusted just uttering that name. "Why would I speak to a traitor?" 

Xiehan reached for her phone and held it close to her. "She already knows that you are mad at her. If it wasn't an emergency, I don't think she would have to call you." 

Lanni thought about how Cheng Yu wasn't in good terms with her family. Perhaps something happened to her and she had no one else to call? If something happened to anyone, she would feel bad if she didn't help them even if that person was her sworn enemy. Hence she hesitantly picked the call. 

"Lanni, I'm so sorry to bother you but…" 

"Go straight to the point." Lanni dismissed. 

Cheng Yu had not expected Lanni to pick her call so she was inarticulate for a while and only spoke later. "Luna went to the detective's house. If the police catch her there then…" 

The word police startled Lanni and she sat up. "What detective and why is the police involved? Can you be a little more clear?" 

Cheng Yu took and deep breath and slowed down. "The detective who was helping her find the evidence to clear her name. He was found dead in his home early this morning." 

"And?" 

"Luna is going to his house now. That's a crime scene." 

Lanni was startled for a while then she snickered. "Cheng Yu, if this is your way of making me worry about that traitor, sorry, it didn't work." 

"What? Traitor?" Cheng Yu was shocked someone would call their sister that. "That's not important. Lanni, I'm telling you the truth. I swear it." 

"And so what if she's going to a crime scene? I cannot stop her." Lanni shrugged even though Cheng Yu couldn't see her. 

"You can stop her, Lanni. She can only listen to you." Cheng Yu hung up immediately after saying this. 

Lanni scrunched up her brows. When did she agree? She was about to call Cheng Yu and tell her that it was none of her business but the latter sent a text message with the detective's name and address then switched off her phone. 

"A detective whose address is so easily accessible?" Lanni raised her eyebrows. 

"What happened? Is it an emergency?" Xiehan asked from beside her. 

Only then did Lanni snap out of her thoughts. "Luna!" 

Xiehan was yet to ask what had happened to Luna when Lanni dressed up at record speed. 

He dressed up just as fast and grabbed his car keys, rushing out of the house after her. "Where are you going? I'll drive you there."

Lanni gave him the address and grabbed her phone back as soon as he copied it. She dialled Luna's number  hurriedly. However, the call didn't go through. 

"She's crazy." Lanni cursed and stopped calling. She might have switched her phone off. "We can only hope to reach there before she does and stop her from going in." 

Xiehan stepped on the accelerator and sped away. "Then we better do that fast." 

Just a few minutes later, they were almost there. Lanni recalled something and turned to Xiehan. "Hold on. Stop here." 

"Huh?" Xiehan turned to ask. 

"We shouldn't get too close to a crime scene either." 

Xiehan thought she was being too cautious but he pulled up some distance away anyway. Lanni literally jumped off the car as soon as it stopped. 

"Are you crazy? That was dangerous." He admonished, but she had run off. Stubborn girl… he would give her a good scolding later. 

He wanted to follow her but changed his mind after thinking about it. It would be best for the twins to solve their own matter privately. He followed her from a distance, just in case she happened to need him. 

…

Lanni confirmed the address on her phone and walked towards it. This was insane. What if she was the one being caught in the crime scene instead? She was about to turn back but the thought of her sister getting herself into unnecessary trouble made her heart uneasy with worry. She took a deep breath and went on. She was already here anyway. 

She took out her phone and checked through the online map. Luckily, there was only one path Luna could possibly follow even if she wanted to sneak into that house. She couldn't miss her. Lanni snuck into the compound. She would hide somewhere and drag Luna away as soon as the latter appeared and give her a piece of her mind. 

But just as she got a clear look at the compound, she saw a group of policemen surrounding the house. 

She shut her eyes and opened them again. What was she seeing? 

Did this mean… that Luna had been caught? Qas she too late already? This couldn't be… 

"Who is that girl?" One of the policemen noticed her and asked. 

Lanni cursed under her breath. She wouldn't be in trouble, right? She forced a smile and walked up to the policeman.  

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" He looked wary as he scanned her. 

"Hello officer, my name is Li Lanni." 

"Show me your ID." He narrowed his gaze. 

Lanni uncomfortably took out her national ID and showed it to him. He didn't look totally convinced, but his colleague mumbled something about the suspect being caught. He no longer questioned Lanni's identity, and she was curious. Was the suspect Luna? Or else why was he so wary of her before the suspect got caught? 

"Why are you here? Don't you know that you should not enter a crime scene?" He interrupted her thoughts.

"I'm sorry. I came to say hello to Mrs. Paul and was surprised to see the 'crime scene' tapes so I came closer to have a look. 

"Leave." He said sternly. 

"Yes."

Lanni snuck a look before leaving… and that was when she saw her sister being led out of the house in handcuffs...
