The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Xia Luna ignored Jiang Xingyu and went her way. Arguing with him made people think they were having a couple's spat or were displaying their nonexistent affection for each other. She really wanted to beat some sense into everyone. 

"Is it just me or is my sister madly in love?" Lanni glanced in the direction that Luna had just left with a laugh. 

"I think she's in love!" Li Yuming chirped then looked at Jiang Xingyu. "Once all of this is over, I will give you my blessing. You must take good care of my daughter." 

Jiang Xingyu glanced at Ji Xiehan to wordlessly flaunt. He was not the only one who had managed to get into Li Yuming's good books, so he should stop flaunting every time. Ji Xiehan laughed at his silly friend as Jiang Xingyu promised to take care of Luna. He even almost swore on all his ancestors that he would never betray Luna, making everyone laugh. 

Luna, who was watching from the first floor's balcony, was speechless. Why was this guy making it sound like there was something between them?

"They are so cute." Lanni laughed to Xiehan, earning a pinch on her waist. "Aw! What was that for?" 

"Don't talk so intimately about another couple. You are paying so much attention to them. What about me?" He complained childishly. 

Lanni shook her head and buried it on his chest. "You are jealous of this? Are you a little boy?" 

"I want you to myself no matter how old I am. Even when we are so old that we have no teeth left in our mouths, I will still want you to myself." 

"Uhm… you do realize you are not alone, right?" Even Li Yuming couldn't help complaining. 

"Say that again, aunty. It's impossible with these lovebirds. They don't care about our eyes no matter how many times we complain." Jiang Xingyu was relieved that someone was on his side, finally. 

"Who is complaining? Speak for yourself." Li Yuming abandoned his side mercilessly. "I'm only indirectly gushing about how much my daughter and son-in-law love each other. Isn't it an excellent thing?" 

Ji Xiehan and Lanni burst into laughter.

Jiang Xingyu was speechless. Just when he was starting to be happy about finally having someone who didn't bully him, his mother-in-law joined them. 

Never mind. If bullying him made people happy, he didn't mind it if his future mother-in-law joined them. As long as she was not against him getting together with her daughter. 

The happy moments only lasted a short while. That was because everyone soon got back to work. When Madam Jiang found out about Luna's predicament, even she joined them in searching for evidence to prove her innocence. 

Lanni and Xiehan were going to retrieve the 'perfume bottle' USB drive. When she realized that she had been busted, Luna had no choice and had left it in Paul's house ince she knew that she might be searched and lose it in the process. This time, they would retrieve it using legal means. 

Li Yuming was going to make sure no one played tricks; and investigate Paul's wife. Madam Jiang and Jiang Xingyu would assess the situation and find the evidence against the real murderer. Just like she already did, they had all their suspicions locked on Li Xiyan. They only needed to find out who she used to commit the crime and get evidence against them.

As Xia Luna watched everyone share roles and let her do nothing but tell them everything she knew and wait for the good news, she realized just how many people she had around her that cared about her. So it wasn't just Cheng Yu that cared about her all along. So many other people did. Her sister, her brother-in-law, Jiang Xingyu, Madam Jiang and now her mother too. And… Luna thought of someone and felt all the strength leave her body. 

"What happened?" Madam Jiang was sitting next to Luna so she was the first to realize that something was wrong with her. 

After she pointed it out, everyone around the table looked at Luna too, with worry all over their faces. 

"Now that I'm not allowed to leave the city, I can no longer pay my dad a visit? The doctor said he might wake up soon." In actual fact, visiting him was not her only concern. She was also bothered by the fact that the hearing would not happen soon. Her father might wake up before it was done and he would be so worried… seeing his condition relapse just after waking up from such a long coma… 

Probably there wouldn't even be anything to see. He might die from the shock as soon as the news reached his ears. 

Silence engulfed the table. There was no way they could convince the police to let a suspect of murder leave the city. It was already good enough that she had been released on bail. 

"How about…" Jiang Xingyu started, and everyone looked at him. "How about we transfer Uncle Xia to a hospital in B City? We can also get the best doctors to take care of him and that way, Luna would not have to go to Lakeside City to see him. At the same time, he would be safer the farther he is from Li Xiyan." 

A long spell of silence followed. Jiang Xingyu frowned and started wondering whether he had said something wrong when Madam Jiang burst into laughter. 

"What's so funny?" 

At this question, everyone laughed too. 

"So this idiot does have brains. He can actually say something sensible." Ji Xiehan patted his friend's back teasingly. Everyone laughed and joked at Jiang Xingyu's expense. 

After being made fun of, Jiang Xingyu actually arranged for Xia Hanchen to be transferred to Hillside Hospital in B City on the same day. It was now easier for Xia Luna to visit him. 

For a moment, everything was going well. But that moment did not last long. It was merely the final calm before a raging storm struck. 

The unforgettable tragedy happened on Tuesday, Ist November.
