The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Luna was wondering whether or not to take a nap when the doorbell rang. This time, she was not spooked so instead of grabbing a floor lamp, she checked the monitor and was pleasantly surprised when she saw who the uninvited guest was. 

"Come on in!" She cheerfully ushered him in as soon as she opened the door. She didn't realize what she was doing until she launched herself into his arms all so naturally. 

"Are you excited to see me?" Jiang Xingyu tapped her forehead as though praising her for being a good girl. 

"Is it too late to pretend to be annoyed?" She pulled a pouty face, earning a chuckle from him. 

"We both know that you couldn't wait for me to come over, considering how close we are right now." He remarked with a proud expression. 

She pulled away from him and went back to sit on the couch. 

He sat down next to her. "You look more beautiful than you did the last time we met." 

"Are those the kind of lies you use to pick up girls? Just so you know, it's too outdated." She harrumphed. 

He chortled at her theatrics. "Just so you know, I don't ever 'pick up girls'. I am only interested in one girl and she is already next to me right now." He then pulled her into his arms, and she did not resist him. On the contrary, she willingly wrapped her arms around his neck when he sat her on his lap. He couldn't help being curious. "You are so different today. You are so cheerful and...active." She was even more active than Lanni, which was strange considering how dull she usually was. 

"I'm just in a good mood. Can't I be happy once in a while?" She pinched his face accusingly. 

"No, you can't. You can only be happy at all times" He nibbled on her lower lip gently. "And my role is to make sure your happiness never fades." 

She laughed at his words as she wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "CEO Jiang, are you aware that you are starting to sound so… romantic? I'm almost falling in love with you!" 

He raised an eyebrow in amus.e.m.e.nt. "You haven't yet?" 

"Mmh… let me see." She raised his chin using her thumb and forefinger, then inspected his face inch by inch, running her fingers along it like she was seriously conducting some research. When she was satisfied with the face, she moved down to his neck, rubbing a finger against his bobbing Adams apple then trailing it down his jawline. "You are quite handsome and are good in every aspect. Now that you mention it, you are worth falling in love with." 

"Are you drunk?" He inspected her eyeballs. When he saw nothing but her clear, slightly watery gray eyes, he frowned. Since she was not drunk, why was she acting like a drunk?

"I didn't have a sip of alcohol but I may be really drunk." She laughed. "Drunk in love!" 

"Uh… who are you, and what did you do to my Luna?" He gazed at her seriously. 

Luna didn't understand why she was acting so jumpy either. She had met up with Jiang XIngyu innumerable times but every time, it was him actively seeking her out. She had never been the one to make any move on him but now, not only was she sitting on his lap and grinding against his thighs with her arms around him, but she was also spewing such nonsense! 

As though snapping back to her senses, she pulled away and sat next to him, drooping her head like she had suffered an injustice. 

"Are you… on your period?" He asked carefully. 

She shook her head without lifting it. "It's not that time yet." 

He couldn't understand her drastic change of mood so he laughed it off. "Do you want to have a date together? You now, to celebrate the progress of our studio?" He suggested. 

"Why not? I don't have much going on anyway." She agreed before she could stop herself. Since she truly didn't have much to do today, she smiled and didn't mind that she had agreed too readily. 

"Okay, get changed first. I have already booked the restaurant so I will wait here for you." 

Now that he mentioned that, she realized that he was totally dressed up for a date. He even had a bow tie on. 

She raised an eyebrow and went to dress up. Soon, she exited her room wearing a short, white dress which was off the shoulders. Although she was pretty much used to wearing high heeled shoes after doing so for a long time, her shoes for the date were not too high for her comfort. She looked beautiful and gentle, her straight hair making her look a little innocent. The look reminded him of the girl she once was before changing into a cold young woman in male disguise.

He stood up and took her hand gently, placing a soft kiss at the back of it. "You look lovely." 

She smiled and pulled his neck down, then smacked a soft kiss on his cheek. The intimate gesture took him by surprise but he smiled through it then led her out. 

…

"How were you so sure that I would agree to go on a date with you?" He asked as she opened the passenger door for her. 

"I knew you had no reason to say no." He circled the car to the other side and got in, settling in the driver's seat. If this was another man, she would have scoffed and assumed that he had two dates in mind; so if she said no, he would contact another woman and as her out. 

However, Jiang XIngyu was just so genuine with her that every single one of his actions seemed genuine. He looked honest even when spouting some of those cheesy words that playboys use to hook up with their targets. 

The Emerald Grand Hotel wasn't that far, so they arrived within twenty minutes. 

"Is there something about this hotel that you guys like?" She wondered why many events had happened here. 

"It's a great hotel, just look at the ambiance." He led her in slowly so she would have time to see the interior decor. It was mostly styled in gold and white, and most of the decorations were made of pure gold. 

This hotel had many restaurants offering meals from different parts of the world, and the accommodation offered was top notch too. Although having a single meal or spending the night here was likely to put a dent into one's purse, the services were worth the price. Basically, there was nothing to complain about. 

They headed to their private room as Jiang Xingyu explained, "By the way, this hotel's previous owner was Lu Shaoting. Have you ever heard of him?" 

"Lu Shaoting, the former Vice President of Lu Enterprises? I've heard of him." She sat down on the seat he pulled for her. "No wonder it is such an excellent hotel. I heard everything about that Lu family is awesome. The new CEO of Lu Enterprises is basically just a young man but he had brought his company to great heights!" She gushed.
