The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Right." Li Yuming realized that her sudden actions were indeed scary. She went towards the car with Lanni and the shocked Luna. 

"I'll sit in the shotgun. You and Luna sit in the back." Lanni quickly told Li Yuming and entered the car before they could react to her words. 

Li Yuming didn't mind but Luna was still puzzled stiff. What in the world was going on? Didn't Li Yuming hate her? Why did she call her so sweetly earlier? Why was she agreeing to let her into her car and even sitting together? She looked in Lanni's direction in askance but Lanni wasn't even looking at her, so she silently but nervously entered the car. 

The ride was quiet and as awkward as could be, with Luna keeping as much distance as the backseat could allow. 

Lanni saw this and shook her head. These two made it feel like they were a couple having a scuffle. She turned and flashed Luna a smile. "Mom was so worried about you earlier. She didn't sleep a wink." 

���She was?" Luna raised a brow. 

"I was?" Li Yuming was surprised too. 

"Or else, how do you explain your dark circles?" Lanni mercilessly exposed her mother. 

Luna couldn't look help but peek at Li Yuming. She was really worried? Li Yuming scanned Luna with her eyes and nervously smiled. She couldn't just start telling her that she had missed her out of nowhere, right? That would be too weird. 

Lanni was helpless so she asked her mother, "Did you successfully get a lawyer?" 

Li Yuming remembered that she had called one earlier. "Yeah. But he is busy with another client at the moment and can only meet me in two days. I know it's a long time but this is the best lawyer I have ever heard of so I'm willing to wait. 

Lanni smiled in satisfaction while Luna was even more shocked. Li Yuming was willing to spend so much time and effort to get the best lawyer she knew for Luna? 

While it shocked Luna, Lanni was now totally convinced that Li Yuming was willing to accept her other daughter and perhaps even become close to her. 

But even after that short conversation, silence prevailed once again and the mother-daughter pair kept stealing awkward glances at each other. 

Lanni helplessly shook her head. Soon, they arrived at Goldenwing Apartments. Lanni pondered for a moment before pointing something out. "Now that this case has blown up, many people know about you, Luna. Will you really be safe if you stay here?" 

"There's nothing to worry about." Luna hurriedly dismissed. 

"Why wouldn't she be safe?" Li Yuming was worried. 

Luna shot a glare at Lanni, who pretended not to see it and explained to Li Yuming. "Li Xiyan is after Luna's life. Actually, she has been at Luna's neck for more than a year now. Even Luna's previous crime is her fault. Luna was only defending herself." 

"How dare she?! That woman wrecked my family. Now she dares to bully my daughter?" Li Yuming clenched her fists. "I shouldn't have left before getting rid of her. Anyway, if it isn't safe, Luna cannot live on her own." Before she could stop herself, she suggested, "She can stay with us for the time being." 

"That's a good idea." Lanni did not give her sister the time to reject the offer. "Luna, go up and gather a few necessities… uhm, never mind. We can buy some on the way."

"I didn't say I was going…" Luna finally found her voice and regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. Would her mother be disappointed and hate her again? It had taken so long before Li Yuming finally warmed up to her… but thinking of Cheng Yu, she still couldn't go with Lanni and her mother. 

"What about Xiao Yu? I cannot let her be on her own. What if someone tries to harm her while I'm away?" she quickly explained.

"She can come too. Wouldn't that be awesome?" Lanni chirped. 

"Xiao Yu… Cheng Yu?" Li Yuming inquired and was surprised when Lanni nodded. Cheng Yu and Xia Luna knew each other and from what they were saying, they even lived together? 

But now that she was more welcoming of Xia Luna and was even willing to get to know her better, she did not mind. Besides, Cheng Yu had the right to be friends with whoever she wanted. 

… 

Luna went up to her apartment to grab her laptop and ask Cheng Yu to go with her while at it. It was not that she was scared of living on her own. She had been constantly in danger for the past one year and she was able to take care of herself after all. It was just that she couldn't bring herself to turn down the offer she had always wished for. 

Although she didn't know why Li Yuming was suddenly trying to get close to her after the fight they had the last time they met, she didn't mind it in the least bit. If anything, she was overjoyed. This was good news. It wouldn't be too long before their family finally reunited. 

Luna entered the house cheerfully. "Xiao Yu." 

There was no answer, so she went to Cheng Yu's room. "Xiao…" 

She swallowed her words when she found that Cheng Yu was not in her room. Xia Luna could have assumed that she was in Star Art International if Cheng Yu's things were not missing. There was nothing on the table. Her easel was gone too. All her shoes were missing as well. 

Luna had a bad feeling as she opened the closet. That, too, was empty. She stared at the cloth hangers in shock. Cheng Yu left and didn't tell her about it? This was so unlike her. 

Even so, she didn't jump into conclusions and took her phone to call her instead.
