The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The duo ordered their food and soon dug in. At Luna's request, they neither ordered wine nor spicy food. She was in the mood to eat something that was easy on the taste bugs and drink something sweet.

They ate peacefully, occasionally feeding each other and toasting the fresh apple juice they had ordered in place of wine. 

The red, scented candles burning at the side of the table provided a warm and hypnotizing, romantic environment, and the soft tones reverberating from the grand piano at one end of the room lured one to stand up and dance. 

He couldn't hold in the urge anymore, so he stood up and bowed as he held his hand out like a gentleman. "Milady, will you do me the honor and dance with me?" 

Her cheeks had a rosy flush to them as her heart skipped a beat. "I know nothing about dancing." 

"I will teach you." He offered. Actually, as long as she willingly danced with him, it was alright even if she stepped on his toes. He would gladly nurse them later. 

Since he said so, she no longer had any objections. She placed her fair hand in his and tried not to blush as she stood up. His arm wrapped around her waist as he pulled her to a more spacious spot and started teaching her to waltz. It was easier than she thought and within a few minutes, they were waltzing circles around the private room. 

"I never thought life could be this blissful…" 'Especially life with a man.' She added in her head. In the past, even when she dated him, romance had not existed in her head. She had only associated such feelings with novels, comics and television series. She had thought it was all a fake emotion that people came up with to entertain viewers. She didn't think it was real and that it would be this sweet when she experienced it on her own. 

"From the moment I met you, Luna, I knew I would be the happiest man in the world as long as you are in my life—and I was right. There is nothing else I could ask for." 

She gazed into the depth of his eyes, her heart overflowing with warmth when she realized just how sincere his words were. Once again, he meant every single one of them and she could see his love for her written all over his eyes. She couldn't keep doubting herself anymore. "Jiang Xingyu, I have something to tell you." She said in a lowered tone.

He ended the dance since he could tell that she was tired from her deepened breaths and how fast her heart was beating. They sat back down on their chairs. His back was as straight as a rod as he tried to ponder what she could want to say to him. Out of selfishness and his reluctance to ruin this perfect moment, he was even considering interrupting her just in case she was going to say something disheartening. 

But then again, perhaps she had something good to say, judging from the current circ.u.mstances and her amorous gaze right now. His heart almost raced right out of his chest when she flashed a gentle smile and placed her soft little hand at the back of his hand. How beautiful! He so badly wanted to embrace her and never let go. 

"Jiang Xingyu, for the past few weeks…" 

She didn't seem to know how to continue her statement, making him chuckle lightly. Her cuteness was off the charts! 

"I've…" Before her second word was out, his phone rang. She frowned and wanted to ignore the call and continue speaking, and he wanted her to ignore it too. Alas, the caller was incessant and he thought that it might be an emergency so he picked it. 

In the end, his face was filled with gloom and anger when he heard what his assistant had to say. 

"What happened? Did something go wrong?" she was concerned. 

"Not really. It's just a spoilt brat throwing a tantrum." He sounded annoyed. Since it was related to her as well, he explained, "It's that idiot, Cedric Han. He suddenly raised problems with the second contract which he supposedly didn't realize before." 

"What does he want?" She felt troubled. She knew that Cedric was one of those arrogant young masters who were self-centered and cared about nothing but themselves, but she didn't think he would show that side of him so soon—especially since he had been acting all nice and sensible.

"The fool wants us to increase his basic pay tenfold and at the same time, he wants us to alter the terms of contract for him because he is the most special god in the universe and he is doing us a favor. We should give him 70% of his comic's monthly income." He explained sarcastically. 

"What the fck is wrong with him?" Luna felt her head hurt. "Why do I have a gut feeling that he is targeting you? He doesn't seem to have any other reason to cause mischief at such a time." 

"He really is." He sneered.

Because the comic application was still too new and they did not want to make the authors completely go down with them in case they failed, they had set up a term where an author would have to sign a new contract every time they published a new comic. 

Cedric had started updating his new comic in the app and it had gained more than double the number of fans of his first work. Now that it was time for him to sign the contract, he was asking for such astronomical terms. He had even gone as far as to state that if they did not fulfill his wish, he would withdraw his second comic and sell it to a more famous app. Moreover, it didn't sound like a blank threat—he would really do it. How troublesome. 

"If he really withdraws his book and publishes it to another app, the loyal fans will search for it by hook or crook and that will make our competitor gain an excellent author as well as tens of thousands of readers from us. This will encourage such horrible behaviour among the other authors. They will keep doing such things once they get too full of themselves." He analyzed. 

She thought hard about it and let out a cold smile. "I know how to deal with him." 

"You don't need to trouble yourself. I will deal with him since he is doing this to vex me." 

She sighed, maintaining hergaze at him. "You can be rest assured, my way to handle it will be the best." 

"Then I'll have to trouble you." He no longer insisted since she was sure about what to do. 

"It's no trouble." She thought about whether to continue her confession but realizing that the mood had been ruined beyond redemption, she changed her mind. SHe could do it some other day. 

…

After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant. Luna didn't know what had possessed her brain until she woke up the next morning in his arms, wearing nothing but a smile. 

"I really am an idiot." She cursed herself.
