The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"What's here?" Xiehan asked from behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist. 

Lanni turned and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Honey, you're awake. Did I wake you up?" 

"I was awake the whole time." Xiehan pulled her closer to his body, and Lanni didn't push him away. She happily showed him the headline on her phone. "Honey, look." 

On her screen, a bold headline in large font read, [LI XIYAN'S CRIMES EXPOSED] 

Xiehan took a look at the headline and a smile formed on his lips. When he read the entire article, his smile deepened further. 

The article had gone ahead to expose every single one of Li Xiyan's crimes, including her involvement with Zeus and the fact that she had been the mastermind who framed Luna and had her imprisoned. She had even tried to murder her own husband! Just how horrible was she? The crimes had been outlined in order from what could be considered as minor crimes to the most heinous, making the readers' jaws drop. 

Xia Hanchen was among the country's most famous businessmen, so his wife, Li Xiyan was well known to the public too. Now that she had been exposed, countless blogs were talking about it. Even the television news that was broadcast that morning had Li Xiyan's crimes as one of the major headlines. 

"Lin Jian isn't so useless after all." Xiehan praised. 

"Of course he isn't useless. Or else I wouldn't have trusted him with this important task. We should thank him." Lanni smiled from ear to ear. 

Just as she was about to leave the bed, Xiehan pulled her hand so she landed right smack on his chest. He held her in place using his hand. "Why don't we celebrate a little first?" 

"But I'm too tired from last night." Lanni tried to get up again. 

"Too tired? But you can still jump around so early in the morning." Xiehan gazed at her dangerously. Before she could react, he switched their positions so she was underneath his body. 

His hand sn.a.k.e.d around her body and under her nightgown, tracing her warm skin. Just as his fingers reached her b.r.e.a.s.ts, her phone rang. 

Lanni started and reached to answer it, with Xiehan still hovering over her. 

"Why are you calling?" She asked impatiently when she realized that the caller was Li Xiyan. 

"It was you, wasn't it? Heh. I didn't know that you wouldn't keep your promises." Li Xiyan growled. 

Lanni knew she was talking about the news. She must have seen the headlines. She snickered. "Li Xiyan, which promise of mine did I break? I promised to return the file and the USB to you and didn't I?" 

"You gave the content to the media before giving them back to me." Li Xiyan's tone was affirmative, knowing fully well that it had to be Lanni and her group. No one else would dare to go against her.

"Yeah…" Lanni drawled out the syllable tauntingly. "But I don't remember promising you that I wouldn't disclose the content. Did I?" 

"You little—!" Li Xiyan cursed and she could hear the sound of somethjng breaking before Li Xiyan's voice was heard again. "I didn't call to ask you about it. I called to warn you. Watch your back, little girl, because I'm going to kill you!" 

Lanni hung up the call, then replayed the voice recording. 

"What was that for?" Xiehan chuckled. He had known that no one in their right mind would willingly listen to someone threaten them but now it seemed like Lanni had been planning something all along. 

"Isn't Li Xiyan fond of claiming that evidence is fabricated? She can go ahead and claim that the content of the USB was fake. Then, she would have to explain why she wanted it so badly." Lanni grinned.

Meanwhile, Xia Hanchen's mansion was on the verge of expoding from Li Xiyan's anger. 

"That little bîtch! How dare she?" The glass in her hand shattered, piercing her palm but she was so angry that she didn't feel the pain. "I will make her pay!" She swore. 

"Ma'am, the flight has been booked." Her assistant reported. 

Li Xiyan stood up and went to her room. As soon as she saw the headline, she had asked her assistant to book the earliest flight out of the country. Of course she was going to flee! Who would stay back and wait for the police to find them? 

She changed her clothes at record speed, making sure to wear a scarf a wig and a pair of huge goggles. When she was done, she grabbed a few random clothes and shoved them into a suitcase then dragged it out. 

"Ma'am, I'll help you." The assistant hurried over and lugged the suitcase. 

Li Xiyan hurried out of the house. 

"You stay here." She ordered her assistant, who frowned but remained behind anyway. How could she not know Li Xiyan's intention? She was obviously sacrificing her. If the police came and didn't find Li Xiyan, they would arrest her instead. After all, she had been Li Xiyan's accomplice in most of the crimes. Perhaps she was also supposed to take the blame upon herself. However, there was nothing she could do about it. She could only sigh and accept her fate. 

Meanwhile, the chauffeur floored the accelerator and sped to the airport. They arrived just a few minutes before it was time to board the flight. However, just as she got off the car, two policemen suddenly blocked her way. 

"W-what are you doing?" She was startled. 

"Li Xiyan, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent." 

"Did you get the wrong person? Get out of my way." She waved her hand in annoyance. 

"Show me your ID." One of the policemen demanded. 

"Of course. But you will have to apologize for wasting my time." She took out an ID card from her purse and shoved it at the policeman. 

When he took a good look at it, he pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed her hands. "You are under arrest for one more crime. This is a fake ID." 

"What? You… how dare you!"
