The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni froze in her tracks. She turned to look at the door and swallowed when she saw Li xiyan standing there, giving her a look of triumph. 

She sauntered in, her voluptuous h.i.p.s swaying as she moved. She stopped in front of Lanni and Cheng Yu and looked down at then like she was staring at ants. "Look who we have here. Rats walking head-first into their trap." 

Lanni's eyes widened. Trap? This was a trap? Li Xiyan had tricked them into coming here? But how was that even possible? 

"Li Lanni." Li Xiyan's lips twitched then she burst into an evil laugh. "I didn't think we would ever see each other on earth. You're quite the phoenix, eh?" 

Lanni wasn't in the mood to argue with this psychopath. "Li Xiyan, what do you want?" 

"To settle scores with you. Can't you tell?" She guffawed. "Now that you willingly came here, do you think I would let you leave just like that?" 

Lanni took a deep breath. This was trickier than she thought. 

"Listen. I hate your dumb sister more than I hate you. Why don't you call her here? As long as I have her, I will let you and your friend live for now." 

"You're insane. I will never let you hurt my sister." Lanni spat through gritted teeth. Who did this woman think she was?

"Oh, what an amazing display of sibling affection. In this case, I guess I should no longer the two of you any mercy." 

Lanni bit her lip as she thought of what to do. If only there was a weapon she could use to kill this woman. 

Uh… weapon. Of course she had one. 

She took out the little bottle and sprayed its contents into Li Xiyan's face. 

"I can't believe I wasted so much time before thinking of this." She scolded herself before swiftly leaving the room with Cheng Yu. 

Outside the door, several henchmen lay unconcious. She looked around and was shocked for a while before dragging Cheng Yu away. 

"You're out safely. That was close." Luna was outside the house. They hurried to the car. 

"Li Xiyan suddenly appeared and caught us. I wonder how she knew that we were going to break Xiao Yu out." Lanni gasped to catch her breath after running so fast.

"Isn't that obvious? The hearing is tomorrow. She knew we would try to save Xiao Yu if we found out that she is here." Luna analyzed. That was obviously the case.

"Let's leave first." 

They got into the car and An Zichen drove off speedily. 

"Luna…" Cheng Yu started. 

"I know. you don't have to mention it. I'm sorry I doubted you at first." Luna hugged Cheng Yu before the latter could explain anything. She knew Cheng Yu was going to explain why she lied about Luna before. 

"Luna is right. We doubted you before but now that we know the truth, we are not going to bring it up anymore." 

Lanni turned to her sister and gushed. "If you didn't fight those guards, we wouldn't have been able to get out. What are you, a superhero?" 

"What guards?" Luna was confused. 

"Uh… the ones that accompanied Li Xiyan." 

Luna frowned. "No way. Everything was going well until Li Xiyan appeared. I tried to warn you but you didn't hear me so I came to help you fight in case you had to. I didn't even get in before I saw you coming out." 

"Huh? How could that be?" Lanni wondered. "It's weird to insinuate that they fought among themselves." 

"Maybe someone helped us out but we just did not see them." Cheng Yu chimed in. 

"You're right. Who was it, was it you, An Zichen?" Lanni turned to ask him. 

"No, I was waiting for you the whole time." An Zichen responded. 

Luna thought of a possibility and had a shocked expression on her face. "Flynn." 

"What did you say? Who?" 

"Flynn. He has been following Li Xiyan, at least from the last exchange we had." 

"No way. If it is him, he would probably help Li Xiyan to capture me." Lanni laughed mockingly. From her memory, he must hate her. 

"No way. Why would he help the enemy?" 

"What's the matter with Li Xiyan anyway? Why did I investigate her?" Lanni changed the topic, not wanting to talk about that man anymore. 

"Who am I to ask?" Luna dismissed, and Lanni raised an eyebrow accusingly. "Fine, fine. I know why you did, but can I answer it later? It's already so late and I'm sleepy. 

"Fine." Lanni let her off. They had a lot of time to talk about it anyway. Besides, what was more important now was to know how to sneak back into the house. They needed to take care of Cheng Yu's wounds and call a doctor if necessary. 

"But can we really sneak in? It will not be safe with Xiao Yu's wounds." Lanni thought aloud. 

"Of course not. We can just make a triumphant entry. We did something good anyway so mother will not be mad at us." 

"What triumphant entry?" Lanni glared at her sister. 

But Luna was right. Even if Li Yuming was going to be mad at them for sneaking out of the house late at night and endangering their lives, she would be proud of them once she saw them bring back Cheng Yu. 

As a precaution, she called Cheng Yu's brother and ensured that he was alright. Just for the sake of more security, she would send over a bodyguard or two to protect him. For the same reason, Jiang Xingyu and his mother had sent over a team of bodyguards to guard the hospital where Xia Hanchen was. Nothing could go wrong before or after the hearing. 

Cheng Yu was asleep, and Lanni reclined in the backrest to sleep a little too. She was now truly calm. 

_

The following day. 

Everyone arrived in court in time for the first trial. 

There was no trace of worry or despair on anyone's face. After all, they had all the evidence and Luna being brought to court was just a formality for her to prove her innocence. 

Li Yuming sat next to Lanni with a happy smile plastered across her face. After today, her daughter would no longer have to be under restriction in the name of being a suspect. 

Li Yuming's phone rang at that moment and she excused herself to go out and recieve it. When she came back, her face was ashen with shock. 

"What happened?" Lanni asked worriedly. 

"The lawyer." Li Yuming merely said two words. 

Without a doubt, Lanni understood what had happened. The man must have wuthdrawn. Now, it was doubtless that Li Xiyan was behind this. She must have made the first lawyer drop the case and now she had done the same for the Lawyer that Li Yuming hired. 

"But how can he withdraw on the last day, and in the last minjte too? Where is his professionalism?" 

"What happened?" Madam Jiang fekt something was wrong when she saw Li Yuming and Lanni's worried looks so she qent over to ask with a whisper. 

Once Li Yuming exolained the situation, she frowned. "Of course, there have to be one or two irresponsible scounrels out there. I will teach him a lesson once the trial is over." 

"What do we do now?" Lanni eas more worried about this. The trial was about to start. 

"Who needs a lawyer when we have all the truth with us?" Madam Jiang said meaningfully. 

"Right! I saved all the evidence." Lanni breathed a sigh of relief. Gladly, they had decided to be overly cautious.

Everyone went to sit in their places as the trial begun. After the opening statements and introducing the case, the prosecutor finally asked Luna the question everyone had been waiting for. "Guilty or not guilty?" 

Luna scanned the courtroom and bit her lips. 

"Do you plead guilty or not guilty?" The prosecutor asked once again. 

Luna looked at him and enunciated the syllables. "Guilty."

Silence washed over the courtroom. Everyone stared at Luna in disbelief. 

"Huh?" Lanni was the first to react. 

"She pleaded guilty." Li Yuming's jaw dropped. 

"Why would she say that she is guilty?" Madam Jiang's voice rang through the courtroom. "Luna, you must know that this is a courtroom and not a place for you to play around. Why are you making such a horrible joke?" 

"I'm not making a joke. I really am guilty." Luna sighed. "I killed Detective Paul." 

A crash resounded as Jiang Xingyu's phone dropped to the floor. He stood up furiously and glared at her. "Drop this nonsense! What are you even saying? Are you muddled?" 

"Order!" The judge warned. 

"The defendant has pleaded guilty…" 

"Wait. Please wait. I want to have a word with my sister in private." Lanni pleaded. 

"I'm afraid that's not possible." The prosecutor stopped her. 

Lanni rushed foward. "But what she is saying is a lie! She is telling lies. We have evidence to prove that she lying."
