The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Meanwhile, Lanni spent most of her day catching up with her mother, then painted for a while. Now that she was no longer under so much pressure, she found that she could actually paint as well as she did in the past. 

It turned out that she didn't hate painting. She could do it and do a good job, just not under the constant pressure of deadlines and requirements to make each work better than the last. She was different from Cheng Yu, to whom greater pressure only served to push her determination further. 

… 

In the evening, she decided to pick Xiehan up from work. The latter had already sent her a text message to explain that he was busier than usual these past few days, so he would leave work at 6:30 pm. 

Hence, she changed into clothes she found more presentable—a short, pink, flowered chiffon dress and a pair of matching high heels—and let her ashen hair down, only holding the loose strands with a tiny hair clip. Applying a tiny bit of lip gloss to her lips, she grabbed a nude purse and left the house. She took her low-profile car but since she wanted to pick her boyfriend up, she did not let the chauffeur drive her to her destination, choosing to drive on her own instead. 

She took a longer route and didn't rush over so by the time she arrived near Feng Ji International, there were a few minutes left until 6pm. She glanced at the time and decided to park the car and wait. No one bothered her when she pulled into an empty slot in the employees' parking lot outside the building, probably because no one was planning to park their car when it was already past knock-off time. A security guard on duty waved at her with a genuine smile, and she waved back before taking out her phone. 

She had barely spent a minute parking her car. Wondering what to do to pass the time, she absent mindedly tapped on a cooking app to check what she should learn to cook next—which reminded her. Xiehan was working overtime, which meant that he would be famished once he left the office. 

There was a restaurant just a few meters away, so she decided to make a reservation so she would take him to dine as soon as he left work. Since it was close by, she locked her car and walked to the restaurant. 

Although it was around the busiest hours, it was still convenient as she was able to make a reservation fast. She chose a room on the fourth floor, facing the west, after finding out that its ambiance suited them most and it had an excellent view of the city. A waitress showed her to the room to be sure that it suited her tastes. Once they were done, she nodded in satisfaction, thanked the waitress and turned to leave—just in time to see a familiar ponytail. He had bleached his hair to the lightest shade of blonde she had ever seen, but she would recognize that back even in hell. 

She stopped in her tracks. What the hell was Flynn doing here, and why was he acting sneakily? Not that it was too obvious, she was just too wary of everyone—especially him. She would find him sneaky no matter what he did. 

She battled mentally between leaving and following him. In the end, curiosity got the better of her. Trying not to make any noise in her high heels and not appear suspicious, she waited for him to disappear at the end of the hallway before she followed him. 

She stalked to the end of the hallway, where she had seen the man disappear to. Just when she wondered where she would find him in the vast corridor with rooms lined on both sides of them, she heard a familiar voice. 

"I'm here." 

It was Flynn. 

He was in the first room along the corridor, and he had not even bothered to close the door. 

A shuffling sound was heard and she couldn't comprehend what was going on, neither did she have the guts to move forward. She ran the risk of being discovered, and she so badly wanted to know who Flynn was meeting. 

She had a feeling he was up to no good, not that he had ever been up to any good to begin with. 

"Why are you here?" A deeper male voice responded. 

Lanni swallowed the gasp that was on the verge of escaping her throat. 'Dad?' 

She could not see anything from her angle, but she would never fail to recognize her father's voice. What was he doing here? Why was Flynn meeting him? 

"I'm here to say hello." She heard Flynn respond. A few seconds later, he added, this time more seriously. "My boss sends his apologies." Before she could hear anything else, the door shut and all the sound was cut off. 

Since she couldn't hear anything and standing in the corridor trying to eavesdrop would only attract suspicion, she could only leave. 

Disappointment crept into her heart. She had heard the content of their conversation. Whatever they would discuss after the apology wasn't likely to be anything that mattered. Even so, why did she feel as though that conversation was… fake? 

Her purse vibrated against her palm. She opened it and took out her ringing phone, sliding a thumb across the screen to answer it with a gentle smile. "Have you left the office, my love?" 

"Mmh." The man hummed in agreement. "I saw your car..." He sounded confused about it, probably because she was not in the car.

"Right. I came to pick you up." She quickly headed towards the elevator and pressed the "down" button. She mumbled for him to wait for her and entered the elevator as soon as the doors slid open. 

She hurried to the spot where her car was parked and saw him leaning against it. She threw her arms around him in a hug, all her confusion from a moment ago fading into thin air. "I missed you!" 

He held her tightly against his body and kissed her forehead, all the exhaustion from a day full of meetings evaporating in a puff. His little girlfriend was like a magic potion. No matter how tired he was, he would be rejuvenated as soon as her seductive little body melted into his. "I'm the luckiest man on earth." He muttered.
