The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

That was how An Zichen came about—he was Old Master Feng's chauffeur at the time and he had been the one to trick Feng Ci.

Xiehan thought about it. Lanni had mentioned that she had saved his sister and helped him clear his debt. That, and the fact that she had also helped him get a job, made him unwaveringly loyal to Lanni. He would do anything to pay her back for her kindness, which was why he was just the perfect candidate for the job.

Seeing as he did not object, Lanni smiled. It seemed like he also thought of An Zichen as the best candidate.

"Then, I'll contact him." Lanni stood up but just before she grabbed her phone to make the call, Ji Xiehan suddenly stood and closed in on her. It only took a few seconds for him to grab her hand and pry the phone away, leaving it on the table. "Do that later. For now, spend a littlw more time with me."

Lanni blushed when she understood that his statement had a double meaning to it. "Alright."

Xiehan reached under her knees and behind her back then lifted her off the chair, kissing her all the way to his room.

The following day.

Lanni had arranged a meeting with An Zichen in a restaurant. She had booked the VIP section so it was just her and him in a room.

When she arrived, the man was already waiting. After making sure that no one was around, she carefully took off her wig and exaggerated huge spectacles.

She had disguised herself while coming her and so had An Zichen—because Li Xiyan might at one point suspect that he had been sent by Lanni. If that happened, she would look into everyone that Lanni had come into contact with recently.

"Miss Li, you asked me here today because?" An Zichen was nervous. Lanni rarely ever asked to meet him. Had he done something wrong?

"I need your help with something." Lanni was frank because he needed to go back to work."

"I will do anything you need me to do, Miss Li."

Lanni no longer minded his form of address so she went on to explain what she needed him to do. "I would like to send you to my home as an employee."

"You want to employ me?" An Zichen was confused.

"No, not exactly." Lanni sighed. "It's a bit complicated actually. I need you to become an employee for my stepmother so that you can help me plant something in her study."

It took a minute for An Zichen to take in what she had just said. And when he did, neither did he reject the job nor ask questions. He quickly accepted to do what she wanted him to do, willingly offering as much help as possible.

Lanni saw that he was agreeing too fast and knew that he must take it too lightly. She placed her hands on the table as she looked at him. "My stepmother is a dangerous woman. Very dangerous." She remembered the fragment of memory she had recovered about her investigating Li Xiyan and added, "In fact, so dangerous that investigation organizations and underworld factions have been trying to find her and probably end her."

"I understand." He knew the stepmother must be dangerous from the moment Lanni mentioned the task. If it was so easy, Lanni would have done it herself or hired a random person to do it. Summoning him meant it was confidential and probably dangerous. Even so, he was not going to back out.

Lanni was touched when she saw how determined he was despite knowing that it might probably put his life in danger. What a loyal man…

She reached into her bag and pulled out an envelope which she gave to him. "This is your identity, together with all the doc.u.ments you will need."

He opened the envelope and pulled out the sheets of paper and certificates. He was surprised that there were real certificates and a portfolio. According to the doc.u.ments, he had graduated from the medical school with a high grade.

An Zichen trembled slightly as he stared at the doc.u.ments then at Lanni. "Miss Lanni, am I going to work in a hospital? But I know nothing about medicine."

"Don't worry about that." Lanni smiled. "You will not show her this. You are going to be a bodyguard. If there is any position in that home that would never be too crowded, it is that of a bodyguard. She needs many of them because she knows that someone might seek her life. However, she could as well hire some from training agencies. This is why we also created you doc.u.ments for that."

An Zichen understood. "I will do my best so she employs me."

Lanni proceeded to explain the plan. "She may be paranoid but she likes using people to her advantage. She will investigate you as soon as possible. When she discovers your identity as a medical school graduate, she will want to use you. She may make you try out some tasks to test your ability. If that happens, I want you to gather as much information as you can before she sends you away. You must be careful, okay?"

At this point, An Zichen was starting to feel like they were dealing with a criminal of sorts. Why else would Lanni insist so much on him being careful? Even so, he did not waver. He had done more difficult things before, especially while he worked for the Feng family.

Lanni and Xiehan had come up with two plans and the second one involved the flash drive.

"This will not require you to get her attention as a 'doctor'. You need to find an opportunity to sneak into her study and instert this in her computer." She held the flash drive out to him.

An Zichen looked at it for a few seconds then reached to take it. "When do you want me to do this?"

"How soon can you be ready?" Lanni asked in return.

"I could go tomorrow if you want me to."
