The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Luna glanced at Jiang Xingyu's palm for a second. Seeing that he wanted to help her get up, she placed her hand in his and stood up. When her hand came into contact with his, the warmth from his palm crept under her skin and a smile formed on her lips. 

This was not the first time they had held hands but it felt different. She didn't know what it was but she didn't hate it. Even after standing up, she continued to hold his hand and he didn't let go of hers. Instead, he spread his fingers and linked them with hers. 

Luna looked down at their interlocked fingers and didn't protest as she followed his lead to wherever he was leading her. 

Jiang Xingyu stopped in front of the fountain and guided her to take a seat on the bench facing the view. 

'He brought me all the way here just to see the fountain? As if I didn't see it before,' Luna thought.

She looked ahead of her and huffed a laugh. "Water… it's really beautiful." 

Jiang Xingyu casted her a side glance, his lips curling slightly upwards. "You think so? Then wait till you see this." 

Luna watched amusedly as he got up and went closer to the fountain. 

"There is a remote control, but I can't get it without having my legs broken… but there should be a switch somewhere." He mumbled as he tried to find the switch without getting his clothes wet. He extended his hand out while trying to keep the rest of his body as far from the water as the length of his hand could allow. 

"There." He said when he finally found the switch and flicked it on through the waterproof protector. 

He retracted as the lights went off. The area surrounding the fountain suddenly shrouded in darkness. Just as she wondered what that was all about, the tiny lamps on the fountain lit up one by one and the color of the water started to change. What followed was a colorful water blast. 

"Wow!" Luna exclaimed as the fountain gradually filled with color. Under the dim, colorful light, Jiang Xingyu's face was even more handsome. She wasn't sure whether the fountain or the man in front of it was more stunning. 

"What do you think? Is it beautiful?" He went back to the bench and sat next to her. 

"It's gorgeous." She had a rare smile on her beautiful face. 

Jiang Xingyu glanced at her hand that was placed on the bench at her side and had the urge to hold it. Would she let him? He planted his hand onto the bench then slowly moved it towards hers. When their skin was about to touch, she raised her hand to push a strand of hair behind her ear. He sighed in disappointment. 

"How come it wasn't lit up before?" Luna asked as the water turned pink. 

Jiang Xingyu finally remembered the reason and scratched his neck awkwardly. Actually, this was part of Xiehan's surprise for Lanni and he had helped him install it. The moment he saw Luna sad, he had forgotten all about it and decided to show it to her.

Inside the mansion.

"What was that?" Lanni was surprised when she saw a flash of color from the window and wanted to check it out. 

'That damned idiot.' Xiehan cursed Jiang Xingyu in his heart as he stood in front of her to block her view. "Honey, what are you doing here on your own?" 

Lanni's attention was successfully diverted from the window. "I'm looking for my sister. I can't find her anywhere." 

Xiehan finally understood why Jiang Xingyu would go to the fountain. "Have you not realized that Xingyu is missing too?" 

A flush crept onto Lanni's cheeks as realization dawned on her. "Right. I shouldn't look for her anymore. They must be together right now."

Outside. 

"Hey, your sister stays here often, right?" Jiang Xingyu asked out of the blue.

"Yeah… why did you ask?" 

Jiang Xingyu was glad to hear her reply. "Since that's the case, the kitchen shouldn't be lacking in snacks. What do you say… let's raid the kitchen?" 

Luna hadn't eaten much at dinner and she was a bit hungry. "What are you waiting for?" She stood up, grabbed his hand, and dragged him towards the back door. 

Since everyone's attention was drawn to the movie they were watching, they didn't notice when the two of them snuck into the kitchen hand in hand. When they entered the kitchen, they didn't let go of each other's hand and grasped it tightly. 

After searching for a while, they finally found a load of snacks on one of the shelves. Luna excitedly reached out for the food and grabbed a huge packet of spicy potato ch.i.p.s using her right hand—all while still holding his hand with her left hand.

"Will we finish all of that?" Jiang Xingyu chuckled. 

Luna tilted the packet and frowned. "200g. Only this?" 

Jiang Xingyu burst into laughter, but she was far from done. She dragged him towards the fridge, opened it, and did a search. When she found what she was looking for, she tried to grab it only to realize that she could only use one hand. 

She didn't release his hand as he expected but instead, nodded towards the item and asked him to grab it. 

Jiang Xingyu happily grabbed the 100g tub of ice cream and closed the fridge. They then scurried out of the kitchen before anyone caught them. 

When they went back to the fountain, Luna sat next to him and grabbed the food, placing the ice cream away from him as she opened the packet of ch.i.p.s and started eating. 

"Hey! What about me?" Jiang Xingyu was speechless at her actions.
