The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She had already expected it, but when she saw Luna being led out like a criminal, her heart sank. She was too late. Luna's gaze confused her. Why did she look like they were arch enemies? 

She so badly wanted to rush over and stop the policemen from taking her away. However, her business here was supposed to be paying Mrs. Paul a visit. She had even pretended not to know that Mrs. Paul had been arrested for the murder of her husband. 

It was already suspicious enough that while one twin was caught intruding the crime scene, the other had arrived in the name of visiting the hosts. If she went to Luna now, the police would suspect that they were together. 

One fugitive was better than two, so Lanni pretended not to know Luna. She looked back at the police officer and curiously asked, "Sir, why is this a crime scene now? Is Mrs. Paul home?" 

"Little girl, mind your own business and get lost." The officer bellowed, and Lanni retreated.

"Yes, excuse me." 

…

She rushed back to the spot where Xie Han's car was parked, panting. 

"Did you stop her?" He asked as he started the car to leave immediately.

"No. The police got there first." Lanni chocked. 

"No way." Xiehan turned to glance at her. 

"They arrested her." 

Xiehan held the steering wheel with one hand as the other landed on her knee as a gesture of comfort. "It will be alright." 

"Yeah…" Lanni bit her lip. She was so useless that she was unable to stop her sister from getting herself into trouble. What was wrong with Xia Luna? Did she take herself for a superhero of sorts? Did she think she could really escape the police every time? And why the heck did she even care? 

"Are you worried about her?" Xiehan looked at her and asked. 

"Why the hell would I be worried about the woman who betrayed me?" 

Xiehan chuckled. "You're so cute when you say things you don't mean. It's okay. I know you're worried about her and it's a good thing. It doesn't make you weak." 

To avoid pissing her off, he stopped teasing her when he knew he should. He took out his phone at a red light. "I'll tell Xingyu about this." 

"Why do you have to tell him?" 

"She is his girlfriend—or at least that's what he believes. So he has to know such an important thing. He might find a way to deal with this matter." 

Lanni pursed her lips and said nothing. Jiang Xingyu did have a right to know and be involved in this. But why was it making her feel so useless? 

…

Lanni couldn't think straight. She still wanted to deny it, but she was worried about Luna. She couldn't let her stay in police custody. Even she was surprised that there were so many policemen at the scene just to catch an intruder. Why was that so… unbelievable? It was as though they had been specifically ordered to do in large numbers and get a dangerous criminal. 

Lanni's heart sank when she thought of a possibility. If they hadn't yet, they were going to discover Luna's true identity soon. What would they do to her then? 

No way. She couldn't let her sister be tortured in police custody. 

That evening, Lanni couldn't take a bite of anything no matter how hard she tried to eat. She unknowingly played with her cutlery as she stared into the air, deep in thought. 

"What's happening with you? You haven't eaten grain of rice all evening. What are you even thinking about?" Li Yuming was worried. Lanni was in a bad mood again? What was up with her ever-changing mood?

Lanni placed her fork onto the plate and passively spoke, "have you ever been worried about someone that betrayed you?" 

Li Yuming raised an eyebrow to inquire. "Who betrayed you, and why would you worry about them?" 

"She deceived me. She betrayed my trust . But now that she has been arrested, I can't stop myself from worrying about what may happen to her. Am I being silly?" 

Even though she had not mentioned any name, Li Yuming automatically thought of Xia Luna. Was Lanni talking about her? 

Li Yuming didn't say a word of it, but when she slotted the pieces together and believed that Xia Luna must have been arrested by the police, her heart clenched with worry. Why was she even worried? 

She let out a shallow sigh. She was Xia Luna's biological mother. No matter how much she hated Xia Luna, she would still be worried if something were to happen to her. It was just that, nothing much.

"How did she betray you?" She asked to stop herself from worrying any further. 

Lanni harrumphed and stabbed a piece of pineapple, shoving it into her mouth. She chewed and swallowed as she found the right words to phrase it. In the end, she just blurted it plainly. "I don't know what she did but it's because of her that I couldn't recover my memory before. She might have done something… I'm guessing maybe she switched my meds. That's the only possible way I can think of." 

"She did what?" Li Yuming was taken aback. 

"Ridiculous, right? Yet here I was trusting her like the fool she had taken me for." Lanni placed the fork onto the plate and moved to hug Li Yuming's arm. "I should have listened to you, mom. You were right about her. She does have ill motives." 

"Uh…" Li Yuming was confused. 

Xia Luna didn't want Lanni to recover her memory? That was…

She reached to caress her daughter's head as a form of comfort but her face scrunched into a frown. 'No, Lanni. You were not wrong about her. I was.' She thought. 

For the first time she could ever imagine, she was of the same opinion as the girl she thought of as a trickster despite her young age. Because if anyone were to ask her, one of the things she dreaded most was for Lanni to recover her memory.
