The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Even so, Lanni didn't want to create a fuss over a trivial matter so she didn't say anything about it. In the end, it was decided that she and Luna would go shopping on their own.

_

That afternoon, Lanni dragged Luna to one of the stores she frequented.

As soon as they entered, Lanni saw a gorgeous blue dress by the window. She hopped over to it in excitement. "I told you this store was full of beautiful clothes. Even a simple scarf here is exquisite." She chirped and called over a salesgirl. "Please help her try it on."

"Me?" Luna was taken aback by Lanni's request.

"Yes! Isn't it pretty?" Lanni held up its hem for Luna to touch.

"But it's too colorful." Luna felt uncomfortable just imagining such a dress on her body. The top half of the dress was a royal blue color. However, the skirt was a lighter shade of blue and had uncountable realistic-looking lilies stitched closely together around the hem.

Seeing her reluctant stare, Lanni shook her head. "Are you chroma phobic? This dress isn't too colorful, and I'm sure it would look great on you."

"Then why don't you try it?" Luna dismissed.

"Fine. We would look the same way in it anyway. I'm sure you will love it when you see it on me." Lanni chuckled and went to try it on.

Just as she left, Luna's phone chimed with a text message. Her eyebrows furrowed when she read it then she tilted her head to look outside. When she saw the familiar long ponytail, she breathed out a sigh and glanced in the direction of the dressing room. Hoping that the dress was complicated and Lanni would take long changing into it, she dashed out of the store and walked to the man waiting for her. "What's this about?" She asked in annoyance.

"Oh...you really are twins. You even show your claws the same way." Flynn grinned, deliberately trying to set her off the same way he liked to annoy Lanni.

"I'll punch you if you dare to waste my time." Luna threatened in response, and Flynn knew that she would really do it. This was the difference between her and Lanni. While Lanni preferred to solve things with as little violence as possible, Luna wouldn't hesitate to swipe a dagger across one's neck if things didn't go her way.

"What do you want? I thought you were in Germany already." Luna crossed her arms, her expression looking like she ready to attack if the man said anything he shouldn't.

"Yeah, I really wanted to go." Flynn scratched his neck in what looked ljke nervousness for a second. "But it's such a pity if I don't take Lanni back with me."

"We already talked about this." Luna glared at him dangerously. Her fists were even slowly clenching and this amused Flynn.

"Yeah. And that's why I have not knocked Lanni out and shoved her into the plane with me." He peered towards the store with a hint of longing in his eyes. When he didn't see the person he was hoping to see, he coughed and looked back at Luna. "You know what I think? The organization would really use your help. After all, you're terrifyingly good at hacking. You may even be better than the best programmer on our team. Paired with Lanni's intelligence, the two of you would make an excellent pair. Unfortunately…"

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Luna was not interested in joining any teams and neither was she interested in hearing anyone talk about them.

"Help me pass a message to Lanni." Flynn implored, taking a small envelope from his pocket. Luna gave him an obviously fake smile as she wondered what the hell was in the envelope. He had not written a love letter to Lanni, right? Who still does that? Nonetheless, she reached for it and secured it in the pocket of her jeans.

She walked forward then stopped and turned with a crease on her brows after just two steps.

Flynn was still standing in the same spot and when he saw her turn, he raised an eyebrow to ask if anything was wrong. Luna smiled as she shook her head then proceeded back into the store.

She took a long glance outside. That moment when she turned, she thought she saw a flash of light flicker somewhere. But thinking about it, she must be thinking too much into such tiny details.

"There you are. Where did you run off to?" Lanni asked as soon as she saw Luna. She was sitting on a chair, waiting for Luna and she was wearing the blue dress.

Luna came up with an excuse on the spot. "I went to the bathroom."

"But the bathrooms are this way." Lanni pointed in the opposite direction from the door.

Luna shrugged. "There were many people queued there and I couldn't wait, so I went to the ones outside."

Even she couldn't believe her own ability to lie so effortlessly—not that she was proud of it.

Lanni stood up to give her a full view of the dress. "What do you think? Is this beautiful?"

Only then was Luna able to take a good look at the dress. She nodded in approval but before she could speak, her phone rang.

"It's mum." Luna said before answering the call. Li Yuming only wanted to know how they were doing so the call ended pretty fast.

When Luna hung up, Lanni was staring at her weirdly. "What's wrong?" She couldn't help asking.

Lanni looked around to make sure there was no one within earshot before answering. "I think mom is acting strange."

Luna kept her phone in the front pocket of her jeans and shook her head at Lanni's speculation. "You're thinking too much."

Lanni nodded even though she didn't agree. Her instincts had never been wrong and she knew that this time was no different. There had to be something wrong with Li Yuming.
