The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

No wonder. It was weird for her to be so grateful for something as useless to her as a lipstick, but if it was a USB flash drive in disguise, it made perfect sense. Flynn must have meant to give her important information. Considering where he worked, he must have investigated something for her and the flash drive must contain whatever had been found out from his research. 

What didn't make sense was, why had she dumped it? He was sure that she had not had the chance to watch it yet. Besides, even if it happened that she had secretly watched it or copied the content elsewhere, why did she drop it so carelessly? What if someone else found it? 

He thought through all the consequences and decided that it would be best if the flash drive was disposed of in a better way, aside from being dumped in a trash can where someone else could see it and be curious of the content. 

Of course, curiosity was killing him and he so badly wanted to check what was in it. However, he knew that she might be mad at him if that happened, so he decided that he would destroy it unless she allowed him to check the content. 

He secured it in his pocket but just as he wondered whether to leave, he heard the sound of running water. The door opened soon after and Luna stepped out, frowning when she saw him outside. 

"Did you follow me?" She asked the question he was dreading to hear. 

He nodded nervously like a child who had been caught red-handed and who had no choice but to admit his mistake. "I was worried about you." 

She scrutinized his expression and wondered why he wasn't asking anything. If he followed her, then shouldn't he have seen a scene that wasn't meant for his eyes? Her eyes darted to the trash can and when she saw that it was empty, she raised an eyebrow at him. 

Muttering "dead" under his breath, he explained, "I was worried that someone else would find it so… I was going to destroy it." 

She laughed at his sorry excuse. Even if he was going to make an excuse, couldn't he at least say something that was a little believable? 

"Let's go." She led the way, no longer caring what he did with it. She had decided to throw it away anyway. 

Seeing that he had been let off, he sighed in relief and followed her out.

Later, at Jiang Xingyu's villa. 

Since Luna had already eaten with Madam Jiang, she only had a cup of fruit juice. The man kept away most of the ingredients he had just bought, he would cook her something delicious the following day. 

He had a conference call to attend to, so he gave her a laptop to play with as she waited for him. He shut his laptop and dashed to her side as soon as he was done. She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with the laptop between her legs, typing at a speed almost invisible to the human eye. 

"What are you typing?" He asked gently as he sat down beside her. 

She stretched her arms in exhaustion. "That took you so long. I almost grew white hair from waiting." 

He smiled at her complaint, starting to get used to this side of her. "Are you sleepy?" 

She nodded through a yawn. Although it was still fairly early compared to the time she usually slept, she must have been working so hard lately that she was getting lazier by the day. 

Hearing her response, he stood up and held her hand. "Let's go to sleep, then. I'm tired too." 

She shook her head. "Can't. I'm too tired." 

Taking that as a cue, he bent over and pulled the laptop off her lap, then carried her off the couch. She yelped in surprise but wrapped her arms around his neck a second later. He walked to his room at the slowest speed and gently lay her on his bed like a fragile treasure. 

"Still tired?" He asked gently. When she nodded, he asked, "Do you need a massage?" 

Her cheeks flushed as she glared at him. If he was really suggesting a massage, why was he giving him that expression that made everything sound wrong? "I don't really need one. But if you want me to give you a massage, I can consider it." She threw back a teasing glance at him. 

He flopped onto the bed with a jubilant smile. "I would be a fool if I said no to that, wouldn't I?" 

She scoffed and slid off the bed, then went to the vanity where she had seen a bottle of almond oil the last time she was here. She stood in front of the vanity and took in a deep breath. Should she use this chance to confess? Was it the right time? 

After thinking back and forth, she decided to go with the flow. She wasn't in any sort of hurry, after all. 

Once she found what she was looking for, she walked back to the bed. 

"Should I undress now?" He asked teasingly. 

She was yet to say a word when his phone, which was on the bed, vibrated. The screen lit up, displaying "Chloe". 

Her eyebrows scrunched up. Who was Chloe? 

What made her jaw drop was his genuine smile when he saw the caller identity. He answered the call with a gentle "Hey princess." 

She shut her eyes and swallowed a gulp. Princess? 

She didn't want her mind to run wild but the man neither had a sister nor a daughter, and none of his friends had daughters. Who was he speaking to? 

A thought crossed her brain, making her blood run cold. Could it be… that he was taken?
