The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The duo was still immersed in their kiss when they had a soft patter of footsteps and started, and Luna instantly pulled away from him. 

"Luna…" Jiang Xingyu called out in a complaining tone. He had not had enough. 

"Lanni just saw…" Luna couldn't bring herself to speak out the whole statement. Her image in her sister's mind must be ruined. "Besides, this is Lanni's place and…" 

Although she couldn't complete the second statement either, Jiang XIngyu understood what she was trying to say. She found it indicent to make out in someone else's house, especially since they were not alone. 

He looked at her, his eyes still full of passion as he asked, "Does this mean we can kiss more when we're alone?"

Luna shot him a glare. That was not what she meant, okay? 

Though, thinking back to the taste of his lips, she wouldn't mind… 

Xiehan finished cooking and lay the dining table. He then went to the living room. "The food is ready." 

"Okay!" Both Luna and Jiang Xingyu rushed to the dining room like they were running away from each other. 

Xiehan regarded them pensively. What had happened between these two this time? 

He was just about to dismiss it as none of his business when a small hand slung over his shoulder. Lanni stood on her toes and tried to make it seem like she was taller than him, comically stretching her hand so she could plant her elbow on his shoulder. "If you finished cooking any later, the scene would have turned X-rated." she chuckled. 

Xiehan looked in the direction of the dining room and laughed. "Xingyu finally wormed his way into her heart?" 

"I think he did!" Lanni was more excited about her sister finding love than she was about her own love life. 

Xiehan laughed and pulled the apron off him, took it back to the kitchen then went to the dining room with Lanni. 

The meal took half an hour and when they were all done, Xiehan went to do the dishes. Casting a meaningful glance at Luna, Lanni quickly followed Xiehan to the kitchen. 

The man was just done loading the dishwasher, so she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. 

Xiehan had not heard her walk in, so he was briefly surprised and chuckled as he placed his hand over hers. "What are you doing here?" 

Lanni sn.a.k.e.d her hand over his abs, feeling them through the fabric of his shirt. He must have worked hard to obtain such impressive muscles… she was entraced for a moment before she answered jubilantly, "I'm giving those two knuckleheads a chance to set off sparks." 

"You naughty little thing." Xiehan laughed. "What about us? Won't you give us a chance to set of sparks too?" 

Lanni pressed against his back, breathing warm air into his neck. "What if, giving the blockheads a chance to set off sparks is just an excuse, and the real reason I'm here is to grab the chance to hug you like this?" 

He turned and pulled her into a hug, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Then you can hug me as much as you want." 

Lanni slid a hand to the back of his neck as she looked up into his eyes. 

He cupped her face with one hand as he leaned his back against the kitchen counter. "You get more beautiful the more I look at you, my love." 

Lanni tiptoed while pulling down his neck and kissed his lips softly. 

He grabbed her waist and was about to deepen the kiss when she pulled away with a titter. He frowned and looked at her. "What's that about?" 

She winked and pulled farther away from him, giving him a meaningful look. "See you tonight." 

Xiehan was unsatisfied when she took off immediately after turning him on but when he heard her words, he looked forward to it.

Being left in the same room with Jiang Xingyu once again, Luna clutched her phone tightly. 

She couldn't help remembering that she had suddenly kissed him out of her own volition earlier. Thinking about it, she couldn't bear to face him. How was she supposed to explain that? Should she pretend it didn't happen? 

Or should she act like it meant nothing? She was not sure whether it meant nothing to her, but one thing was for sure. Jiang Xingyu definitely took it to heart. 

After mulling over it, she decided that the best response was to have no response at all. The best thing was probably to flee before he brought it up. 

"I need to go now…" she started. 

"I should get going." Jiang Xingyu spoke at the same time. 

"Then… we should both leave." Luna chuckled at the coincidence. 

Jiang Xingyu nodded slightly. He had wanted to leave when he saw how awkward she was beside him, so she would be more comfortable. 

But now that they both wanted to leave, he couldn't help smiling and wanting to be selfish for a moment. "Since we are both leaving, how about we leave together? I can drop you off." 

Luna had come on a cab earlier, so she did not mind hitching a ride. "Okay." 

Jiang Xingyu was in disbelief for a moment. She really agreed? 

He snapped back in a moment and grabbed his car keys. "i will let Xiehan and Lanni know." 

As soon as he spoke, he stopped to think. Xiehan and Lanni were alone in the kitchen. What if he interrupted something he shouldn't..?

"You guys are leaving?" Lanni arrived and asked before he could stand to go look for them. 

"Uh.. yeah." Luna smiled. "I have a few things to do." 

Lanni nodded, not intending to insist that they stay longer. "Xingyu, could I bother you to drop my sister off?" She took in the role of cupid and created an opportunity for them to spend more time together. 

"Sure. I will make sure she arrives in her apartment in one piece before I leave." The man quickly accepted the important task, in fear that Luna would change her mind and take a cab instead. 

And so, Lanni saw them off to his car before she giggled her way back to the house. Things were probably going to get heated between those two tonight. Would she have an adorable little nephew or niece soon? 

_

Goldenwing apartments. 

As soon as Jiang XIngyu pulled up, Luna literally jumped off the car like she was running for her life. "Thanks for the ride! If there is nothing else, then…" 

She stopped her statement when she realized that Jiang Xingyu had gotten off the car as well and was standing beside her. "Where are you going?"

"I promised Lanni that I would make sure you arrive in your apartment in one piece." He shamelessly threw in the excuse that Lanni had given him. 

"But I have arrived." She furrowed her eyebrows. 

"Yeah, but you are still in the parking lot. My mission will only be complete once I make sure you are in your house." He had on an expression of a serious employee who followed instructions to the last detail. 

Luna was helpless, so she could only let him tag along as she went to the elevator. 

"Since this residence was already discovered by Li Xiyan, don't you think it is dangerous to keep living here? Don't you think you and Cheng Yu should have moved to a more secure place?" He expressed his concern as the elevator went up. 

"Don't worry about us; the security of this place is actually passable… it's just that Li Xiyan had some force behind her and Xiao Yu was on her own. Otherwise, no one would be able to get her if I was there with her." She explained. "Besides, I often have it hard getting used to a new environment. I would rather stay where I am." 

The man considered her words and nodded in approval. His mother had already told him this. Paired with the fact that he had dispatched people to secretly take care of them, there was really nothing to worry about—he had only asked to strike a conversation. 

The elevator soon arrived, and the man kept tagging along as Luna made her way to her unit. 

She didn't pay attention to him and walked ahead. Realizing that the door was locked and Cheng Yu was probably not in, she took her key and opened the door. 

"I'm here. You have completed your assignment so you can go back now." She attempted to shoo him away.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?" The man sounded aggrieved, as though he had been treated unfairly. 

"One is really marked by the company one keeps." Luna mumbled. What a shameless man! 

In the end, she could not shake him off so she said, "Come in. I will make you a cup of tea." 

Jiang Xingyu excitedly hopped in and took a seat. 

Luna had not minded him before but now that she recalled that Cheng Yu was away, and it was just the two of them in her apartment, why was her heart racing faster than usual?
