The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She slid off the bed but before she moved a step, a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back onto the bed. 

"Don't leave, okay?" The man sleepily rubbed his eyes with the other hand. 

A smile escaped her lips. He looked like a clingy child hugging his favorite toy protectively. She forgot all about her negative thoughts and leaned over to press a kiss between his eyebrows. "I have something to tend to. I'll give you a call later, okay?" 

The kiss seemed to wake him up completely. He sat up, comprehending what she had just said. "You can freshen up and get ready; I'll prepare breakfast for you." 

"You don't need to." She waved her hands immediately. "Just continue resting… I'll buy coffee on my way." 

"No can do." He got off the bed insistently. "You will either forget to buy breakfast on your way or simply ignore it, and that's not good for your health." 

Knowing that she would not be able to convince him no matter what she said, she nodded her thanks and went to the bathroom. 

In the end, the man made her eat a nutritious breakfast and even made her bring snacks with her. She massaged her temples as she eyed the mountain of snacks. What was with the doting husband attitude? It was scary, okay? 

…

Cheng Yu didn't have to go to school today, so Luna called her out to a restaurant. It was close to Golden Wing Apartments, so soon after Luna sat down, Cheng Yu walked in and sauntered over to her when she saw her. 

"Why did you call me out when you were already so close to the apartment?" Cheng Yu was confused. "Also, what's with me dressing up and wearing high heels?" 

Luna smiled when she saw that the latter had followed the few instructions she had sent over. "Are you free to go shopping? It won't take long." 

Cheng Yu was confused. Luna wasn't the type to shop around like her sister usually did. If she was not accompanying Madam Jiang, she would prefer to randomly choose clothes online and have them delivered. Since when did she decide to shop around? 

Luna peeked at her phone screen for a second and smiled. "Why don't you have something to eat first? I have already had my breakfast." 

The latter decided to go with the flow and see what's happening. "I've had my breakfast too. We can start shopping right away. Is there something specific you are looking for?" 

Luna scanned her phone that was now full of those weird codes that only programmers could comprehend. "Uhm… let's shop for jewelry. I know the best mall we can go to." 

Cheng Yu raised an eyebrow but nodded at last. Luna would explain when she was ready. Hence, the two ladies made their way to the mall. 

"What exactly do you have in mind? A birthday present for someone? Something to wear to an event…?" Cheng Yu inquired. 

"Let's just look around." Luna saw someone and sighed in relief. She leaned over to whisper something in Cheng Yu's ears. The latter frowned for a second then understood just what was going on. She kept up a confident act and pretended that nothing was going on, even though she could feel a burning gaze on her. 

After looking around for a while and buying nothing, the duo sat down to have a drink. At this moment, Cheng Yu realized that Cedric walked over and sat at a spot close to them. 

The man smiled joyously and wanted to say hello when Luna spoke up first. "This is why I don't like those spoiled young masters from wealthy families. They're so troublesome." 

"Well, not all of them are the same. There are a few reasonable ones… like Cedric." Cheng Yu played along, even though she didn't fully understand why Luna was doing this. 

The latter looked even more troubled. "I thought Cedric was different but what did he do? He proved to be just one of the tyrant kids we hate the most." 

"What did he do?" Cheng Yu feigned ignorance. 

Luna looked puzzled. "You don't know yet? How are you still in the dark? He caused such a ruckus! The man wants us to revise the contract specially for him. Not only that, but he is asking for ten times the compensation." 

"Excuse me?" Cheng Yu looked disgusted. 

"I'm not kidding. Xingyu and I are having sleepless nights because of his unreasonable request. I don't know…" she was still speaking when a figure leapt over at their side. 

The young man scratched his head and looked like he would fall to his knees in an instant. "Xiao Yu, you have to believe me. I was only kidding! Why would I want to make things difficult for you?" 

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled but she put up a serious expression. "You were… kidding?" 

"Yes, yes yes! I would never come up with such unreasonable terms." He swore as he waved his hands in denial. 

Luna was not in the slightest bit surprised. She knew that for stupidly pampered young masters like Cedric Han, nothing mattered to them. It was rare for them to care about anything, but Cedric cared about Cheng Yu. After doing her research, she had found that there were only two things that the young man cared about: his sister and Cheng Yu's opinion of him. 

What scared him most was the possibility of the latter thinking of him as an irresponsible man and possibly hating him. Hence, she decided that the best way to deal with him was to make him think that Cheng Yu would hate him for coming up with such terms. She also knew that he was shopping for jewelry today, so she brought Cheng Yu out to grab his attention, then act like they were casually conversing. 

As expected, he vehemently denied knowing about his agent coming up with such unreasonable requests. As if to prove to his goddess that he had nothing to do with it, he asked Luna for the contract. Since she had come prepared, she fished it out and the man signed it without batting an eyelid. 

Cheng Yu secretly gave her a thumbs up. Excellent!
