The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"I.." Luna was taken aback by his request. She had not expected him t be so direct about it and she did not know what to say. She stared at him as her lips parted slightly but no words came out. 

Jiang Xingyu saw how deliciously alluring her lips looked when they were parted and couldn't stop himself anymore. He leaned in inch by inch until their faces were almost plastered together and their lips were merely a few centimeters apart. He paused and waited for her to pull away from him, push him off her, slap him, or do whatever else women usually do if a man tries to kiss them. 

When she didn't, he was relieved. peeking down at her face, she didn't look displeased in the least bit, and her eyes were even drooping, her lips slightly parted. He brushed his lips against them slightly and gently took her lower lip between his. 

"Sorry to interrupt you but...oops!" Madam Jiang turned away and pretended to close her eyes. She had come to tell Jiang Xingyu that they were leaving and didn't expect to find him and Luna kissing. She really wanted to bang her head into a wall. Would Xingyu forgive her for ruining his moment? 

But it wasn't her fault, right? She never would have expected them to progress so fast!

When Luna heard Madam Jiang's voice, she quickly pushed Jiang XIngyu away and looked at her awkwardly. "Aunty…" 

"You don't have to stop. Please carry on with what you were doing." 

Jiang Xingyu raised his head and glared fiercely at his mother, who scurried away like a rabbit. He continued glaring at her back even as she ran away. 'You just ruined my heard-earned kiss!' he thought. 

Was it too late to resume it? He looked at Luna as he wondered. 

"It's getting cold. We should go back inside and besides, the others might be wondering where we are." Luna stood up before he could try to resume the kiss. 

'No one would wonder where we are. I'm sure everyone knows now.' He thought. They had been missing for such a long time and everyone knew that he was chasing her. In fact, he had a feeling that she had only decided to go back because of their near kiss.

After inwardly complaining about his mother several times, he resigned to his fate and stood up to go into the house with Luna. 

As soon as they were back into the house, he wanted to stick to her but Luna went over to Lanni. "Lanni, you were telling me something earlier." 

"I was?" Lanni tried to remember with a confused expression. 

Luna reached behind herself and discreetly pinched her squeezing her flesh so tightly between her thumb and forefinger that Lanni almost hissed from the pain. "Yeah. You were saying something about Xiao Yu." 

Lanni was about to complain about the pinch when she saw Luna's pleading look and opened her mouth as though she had just remembered. "Yeah, I wanted to tell you something. Come with me."

Relieved, Luna followed Lanni away from everyone else. 

"She is just trying to avoid me." Jiang Xingyu felt wronged. 

Li Yuming, who was not far from him, heard him and looked in the direction where Lanni and Luna had gone. With a huff, she grabbed her bag and left. 

Meanwhile, Lanni brought Luna to the kitchen and cornered her. "What happened between you and Jiang Xingyu?" 

"Nothing. Why would you think that something happened?" Luna quickly denied. 

Lanni crossed her arms and scanned her up and down. "Physically, you look slightly different. Your cheeks are a bit flushed. Let's not mention how you are avoiding him so desperately after hiding away with him for a while." 

"I did not hide away with him." Luna felt her sister was difficult to deal with. Seeing Lanni give her that disbelieving look, she sighed. "Fine. Something did happen...I mean, something almost happened." 

"What? Tell me, tell me." Lanni's gossip mode was instantly activated and she annoyingly urged her sister to spill the beans. 

Luna sighed and knew that Lanni would not let her off unless she told her what happened so she found the right words. "Jiang Xingyu and I…" 

"Jiang Xingyu and you …?"

"Well, we… we kissed, I guess."

"Oh my god! That is so huge!" Lanni was even more excited than Luna who was the one to have been kissed. she only realized after doing a happy spin that something didn't seem right. "Why did you say you guess? You don't know whether you kissed or not?" 

Luna glared at her. "How am I supposed to know? He just brushed his lips against mine then his mum came. Does that count as a kiss?"

Lanni was about to say that it was nothing but changed her words to a tease. "My dearest sister, your first kiss is taken! tell me, how was it? Did you heart race?" 

"Are you seariously teasing me?" Luna was in disbelief. 

"Why are you hiding from my future brother-in-law then? Is it because you are scared to admit that you liked it and want a more passionate kiss?" Lanni fled out of the kitchen when she saw Luna look for something to hit her with. 

Luna grabbed a glass bottle and chased after her. "Stop right there! I promise I won't pour sugar all over your hair." 

Lanni ran to Xiehan's side and hid behind his back. "Xiehan, you have to help me! Luna suddenly wants to beat me up." 

Xiehan narrowed his eyes. "Leave my wife alone or I will not be kind." 

"Are you kidding me?" Luna was speechless as Lanni made a face at her from behind Xiehan. 

Jiang XIngyu who was watching them smiled and grabbed the opportunity. "Who dares to bully my Luna? Come here, I will protect you." 

"How about I beat you up instead?" Luna threatened seriously, making Lanni and Xiehan burst into laughter while Jiang Xingyu remained speechless. Why was it so hard for him to be the hero and save his beauty? He was a hero alright, but this beauty was not cooperative. 

At that moment, the door opened and they all turned to look.
