The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Jiang Xingyu continued enjoying every mouthful of grilled chicken that she put in his mouth and felt his life couldn't possibly get any better. 

A smile graced his lips as he dug into the noodles on his plate. "Do you want to have a taste?" 

Luna glanced down at the appetising noodles but shook her head with a laugh. "I've eaten so much noodles in my life that I can probably manufacture some in my stomach. I don't like their taste anymore."

Jiang Xingyu chuckled. "Maybe you have not had a taste of this restaurant's specially made noodles with meticulous preparation and 12 special spices. It will leave you begging for more." 

"12 spices?! Is it still edible?" Luna's eyes widened. 

"Why don't you find out?" He twirled a small portion and led it to her lips. 

Her heart raced as she took it into her mouth. She had never thought that she would do something so intimate with a man, yet not only had she fed him, she had also let him feed her. 

She avoided his gaze and concentrated on the taste of the noodles then her lips curled up. "It's indeed yummy." 

"I told you." He laughed. "Do you want the rest of them?" 

She glanced at the tempting plate but then hesitated. "You haven't eaten much..." 

"We can swap food." He suggested. 

"Good idea." As she spoke, she pushed her plate in between them before she could think of asking for an extra one. Since she had already done it, she stabbed her fork into a piece. 

The man's smile deepened as he also pushed his plate between them and dug in. 

"Would you like some wine?" He asked after some time. He had ordered some but since she had arrived late, he had not suggested it. 

He thought she would pass but the girl nodded her head. So, he picked a pair of stem glasses and the wine at the side, then he poured them a little each. 

"It is already so late, so we should not drink too much." He explained as he passed her a glass. 

Luna accepted it and clinched their glasses then took a sip. "Is it just me or is everything so tasty? Even the wine is excellent." She gushed. 

"It is indeed tasty." He looked at her meaningfully. The meals and wine were indeed perfect, but even if they tasted horrible, he would still find it awesome if he was eating it with her. 

Silence followed in the next few minutes, with both of them eating quietly after running out of things to talk about. In this moment, Luna unknowingly started thinking about their relationship. 

She had previously decided to give him a chance and date him out of gratitude, but then she had changed her mind after mulling over it. A relationship started out of any other reason but love may not always be the right thing to do. 

Even if she did fall in love with him later, they may not realize it and merely treat it as her being appreciative. It would not feel as real as a love relationship. 

Hence she had decided to let nature take its course. If she couldn't love him and he fell for another woman, it would still be a perfect ending. 

But now that she had been spending more time with him, she realized that although he was so annoying that she wanted to bite him to death, she did not hate it in the slightest. 

On the contrary, her heart would beat faster every time he got closer to her, she would get nervous at times and at other times, she would want nothing more than to kiss the annoyance out of him. 

She had spoken to Cheng Yu about it and the latter was certain that those were signs of her falling in love with him. However, she did not dare to jump into conclusions. It could be an infatuation or her brain's response to all those thoughts she had been having about him being a nice guy. Perhaps it might fade…

And the last thing she wanted was to hurt him again. He really didn't deserve to be hurt the first time, let alone a second. That was why she remained silent and said nothing about her feelings. 

"What are you thinking about?" He asked when he realized that she was no longer eating but staring at him, her expressions shifting from little frowns to smiles he could swear were full on infatuation, then another little frown. 

She snapped back and retracted the fork she didn't know she was waving in the air. "Nothing. I'm just wondering… if I will be able to eat this kind of food again." 

He laughed at her way of asking it. Of course she could! She was a wealthy young miss. Although her dad was currently hostage, there was no way she would lack money to buy a private plane if she wanted, let alone a meal at a restaurant. Yet she sounded like it was harder than ascending to the heavens. 

Viewing this as a chance, he happily grabbed it. "I will bring you here whenever we have the time. You can have a taste of other specialties too." 

"Sure." She smiled, and he couldn't be any happier. 

When they were done eating, he offered to give her a ride back to her apartment. Luna was about to reject it and take a cab but thinking about it, she agreed and entered his car with him. 

The entire ride was silent until they arrived. Before she opened the door, he placed a hand on top of hers. "Thank you for going out on a date with me. You could have stood me up especially after what happened but you didn't… it means a lot to me." 

She took in his genuinely grateful expression and was glad she showed up in the end. "I liked it too, so I'm also thankful to you for giving me such a great time."
