The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni took a moment to process what Luna had just said and frowned. How could Luna say such words? "You do know that she is our mother, right?" 

"Yes. Which is why I didn't want to point this out before. I didn't want to create friction between you two." 

Lanni still found it unbelievable. Although she knew that her mother made some ruthless decisions sometimes, it was all with a good reason. "What made you think that way of her?" She asked gently. 

"Can we not talk about it anymore?" Luna knew what her sister wanted. She was probably trying to understand both sides so she would come up with a solution that would make she and Li Yuming understand each other more. But the problem was that between her and Li Yuming, there was really no solution unless time could be reversed. 

Lanni sighed and stood up. "If you ever want to talk about it, you know where to find me." 

Luna nodded and resumed to what she was doing, casting Lanni a sidelong glance. "I think we should contact Lin Jian as soon as possible and discuss the details with him." 

"The guys already did. They should give us an update soon." Lanni responded. 

"They are more reliable than I thought." Luna laughed slightly. 

While they were still chatting, Luna received an incoming video call request on her laptop. Because of the speed at which she was typing, she answered it without intending to and the screen turned dark. 

"A hacker?" Lanni asked in alarm when she saw the black screen. 

"Shouldn't be." Luna was at ease, knowing that the caller had to be someone who was actually interested in speaking to her. 

The screen remained black for a while and if it wasn't for the green button that indicated that the video call was on, she would have thought that her laptop had crashed. 

"Who could this be?" Lanni was curious and started to speculate. Cheng Yu? That was the only person who was close to Luna but she couldn't come up with such nonsense. Jiang XIngyu wouldn't do something so pointless either. 

She was just about to suggest hanging up when th display on the screen shifted and a handsome face appeared. What shocked Lanni was that this face was quite familiar…

"You…" 

"Hello princess!" The man's tone was jovial even those his face remained cool and indifferent. When he realized who the person closest to the screen was, he corrected his statement. "Hello Luna! Have you been well since we last met?" 

Lanni was infuriated merely by the sight of this man. "First you were making life difficult for me, and now you are torturing my sister. What exactly do you want?" 

"I just want to say hi. Can't I?" he ruffled his already messy hair with a languid expression. 

Lanni gnashed her teeth. If only slaps could be sent over video calls…

"Anyway, princess, I have a piece of news for you. Should I say?" 

Lanni hated the way he called her but what she hated more was his silly way of beating around the bush and making her anxious. "Speak if you want to or click the red button if you don't want to." 

"Heh." The man let out a chuckle. "You look so cute when you are angry. All I wanted to break is… Li Xiyan escaped from prison. Congratulations, you used up all that effort to achieve nothing." 

Seeing Lanni on the verge of exploding from his taunting, he decided to cut it short. "Since I have already broken the news, I will hang up now. See you soon, princess!" 

Lanni remained silent. See you never!

A moment before he hung up, he grinned at the screen. "By the way, your dad is here with me." 

"What did you say?" 

Alas, the call had already been hung up. 

"Call him back. What does he mean?!" Lanni was on the verge of losing her mind as she urged Luna. "Call him back!" 

Luna who had been silent all this while finally had a reaction. "I can't." 

"What do you mean? Why can't you?" 

"He called me by hacking into my laptop. How am I supposed to call him back?" 

"By hacking into his laptop," Lanni said matter-of-factly. Wasn't that obvious? 

Luna heaved helplessly. "Lanni, I can hack into anyone's computer but this is Flynn we are talking about. I wouldn't even be able to start before he counterattacks." 

"What nonsense are you saying? How can you make a conclusion without trying? You are the best hacker and…" she no longer knew what to say and the person she was speaking to was merely staring at her like she was an alien. 

"Nevermind." She took her phone out of her purse and gave Xiehan a call. "Honey, are you busy right now?" 

"Of course not." He answered instantly although she could hear the sound of paper being flipped on the other side. He was obviously working but his meaning was clear—he could never be too busy for her.

Lanni felt a flood of warmth fill her heart. If it was not urgent, she would not bother him at such a time. 

She took a deep breath then explained the situation to him. When she was done, even he was surprised that there was someone whose hacking skills intimidated Luna. 

"But how exactly did she know what he was capable of, and whether or not she could beat him?" XIehan questioned. 

Lanni thought about it and glanced at Luna. the latter had heard Xiehan's question through the phone so she answered, looking dejected, "I tried to hack into his phone before." 

Hearing this reason, Lanni was almost on the verge of giving up. Just how good was he? 

Xiehan went over to Li Yuming's villa immediately and met the girls on the terrace. They led her to Luna's room and he turned on his laptop as soon as he sat down and used the details from Luna's laptop. Surprisingly, he was able to use the same method to video call Flynn in less than two minutes. He glanced at Luna in surprise. 

At that moment, Flynn's face appeared on the screen so he decided to deal with the sc.u.mbag first. 

When the man saw Xiehan's face, he broke into a smile as he peeked at Lanni who was behind Xiehan. "Tsk, tsk, you have become even more princess-like. You actually need a man to save you. How useless." 

"Do you have my dad or not?" Lanni was pissed off. 

"Hahaha" the man suddenly laughed. "That was just a joke I made up. You actually believed it?"
