The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Three days later. 

Li Yuming cooked lunch for both of her daughters like she had been doing for the past three days. She gladly set the table and called them down to eat. Her heart was filled with the kind of fulfillment that she had never felt before. Perhaps this was what she was really missing before – her other daughter. 

Within the short time she had spent with Luna, she had learned that some of the things she had initially thought of Luna were wrong. Although Luna was indeed a little introverted, she was actually kind and had people she cared about. This proved that perhaps, she was not the selfish, scheming girl that Li Yuming had initially assumed her to be. 

The three of them ate lunch together, like the happy trio they should have been all these years. After having lunch, Luna took her phone and went to the backyard. She dialed Cheng Yu's number for the umpteenth time. 

"Sorry, the subscriber you are trying to reach is currently unreachable. Please try again later." She got the automatic response for the gazillionth time. 

"Cheng Yu, just where are you?" her heart crept with worry. 

"You haven't managed to get through to Xiao Yu yet?" Lanni joined her and asked. 

"Not yet." 

"Then we should try to look for her." Lanni was worried too. 

"But I didn't want to invade her privacy by hacking into her phone or something." Luna sighed. 

"That's not the only way." Lanni bit her bottom lip. "We can physically look for her. Check if she booked any train or bus tickets, find out if she has still been going to school and check with Xiao Ying." 

"You're right." Xia Luna agreed although she had a bad feeling about all of this. How could anyone simply disappear like that? She could only hope that Cheng Yu was fine. 

…

That evening. 

"I can't believe it." Luna laughed mockingly. 

"Xiao Yu actually left the city," Lanni added. 

"that's not the main point here. The main point is that before she left, she gave a statement to the police. She actually said that on the night that Detective Paul was murdered, I left the house late at night and returned early in the morning." 

Li Yuming massaged her temples as she heard her daughters converse. why would Cheng Yu do such a thing? "But it's just plain words with no proof, right? The court wouldn't accept that as evidence for the crime." 

"Yeah, but we would rather have baseless words in Luna's favor than against her." Lanni chimed in. "Besides, they are best friends and in her statement, she even said that she was afraid Luna might hurt her for telling the truth so she decided to flee." 

"I can't believe a brought a snake to me so she would bite my own daughter." Li Yuming gritted her teeth in self-blame. 

"You don't have to blame yourself, mother." Luna held her hand, surprised that she had already gotten used to addressing Li Yuming that way. "I'm the one who got close to her. I'm the one who also went to that crime scene and brought all of this upon myself. So it's up to me to find all the evidence I need to prove my innocence in both cases." 

"What nonsense are you saying, Luna?" Lanni admonished. "I'm your sister. No matter what happens, no matter how much danger there is, I will help you prove your innocence." 

Li Yuming glanced at both of them and took their hands in hers. "The two of you are my daughters and the last thing I want is to see you put your lives in danger. But since this situation is already dangerous in itself, I will accompany you. I will go every step with you and prove your innocence."

"Me too." A voice chimed in from the entrance. Li Yuming, Lanni, and Luna turned to see Ji Xiehan walk in with Jiang Xingyu. Ji Xiehan looked at the three women and continued, "I will do this for Lanni and Aunty. I will do all I can to help." 

"I will help too. Luna is my responsibility and I will do everything to protect her." Jiang Xingyu declared. 

Li Yuming stood up and looked Jiang Xingyu up and down. "You and Luna…" 

"Hello, aunty. I'm sorry for being so audacious." Jiang Xingyu held out the gift he had specifically prepared. "Luna is my…" 

"It's one-sided!" she quickly shot up and glared at him before he could say anything he shouldn't. 

Jiang Xingyu laughed and shrugged. "Well, one-sided or reciprocated, I'm in love with Luna so I will protect her with my life." 

Li Yuming happily took the gift from Jiang Xingyu. These two looked like they were always playfully teasing each other but they were perfect for each other and it was so amazing to watch. It was already so satisfying to witness one daughter fall in love. Now that it was both of them, she was even more joyful. 

Lanni cheerfully stood and jumped into Ji Xiehan's embrace. "I missed you, my love." 

Xiehan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. "I missed you even more. How are you doing my love?" 

"Everything's so boring without you," Lanni complained. 

"Is she saying that we are boring?" Luna asked, puzzled by the sudden display of affection that they were being made to watch. 

"These two are always displaying their affection. Don't they ever get tired of it? They don't even check the situation before they start kissing and hugging." Jiang Xingyu seconded. 

"So what if we display our affection? Don't you do it all the time too?" Lanni peeked at them from Xiehan's chest. 

"When do we ever…" Luna was inarticulate. What was there for her and Jiang Xingyu to display? 

"Don't you fight all the time? That's your way of displaying your affection." 

"You're impossible." Luna wanted to walk away but she bumped into Jiang Xingyu who was standing in the way and glared at him. "Can't you watch where you're standing?" 

"What..? It's you who should watch where you're walking." Jiang Xingyu retorted. 

"Do you believe that I can make it so you can't even walk?" 

"Well… they're at it again. Where's the popcorn?" Lanni laughed.
